A CFD is an over the counter derivative contract, under which two parties agree to exchange the difference between the opening and the closing value of the contract, with reference to an underlying security that is traded on margin. In other words, CFDs allow traders to speculate on the rise or fall of exchange traded securities, for example, without needing to own the underlying security.
As CFDs are a leveraged product, you are required to deposit a certain amount of cash as collateral for exposure to the CFD position, rather than paying for the full value of the underlying position. For example, when trading CFDs, you can leverage at a ratio of 10 to 1, which means for every $1.00, you can gain exposure to $10.00 worth of CFDs. Therefore, CFDs offer a potentially larger exposure to the underlying security given that investors can outlay a small amount of capital to secure exposure to the underlying security. Of course, this has the effect of magnifying any profits or losses, and consequently carries significant risk, which we discuss in more detail shortly.
Remember, when trading CFDs you are leveraging your position, therefore you are using a small amount of capital to gain exposure to a larger position in the underlying security. The "difference" (in Contracts for Difference) is the profit you receive or the loss paid for the privilege of speculating that the underlying asset will rise or fall. For example, if you believe the underlying price of BHP will rise from $20.00 to $22.00, you may decide to take a long CFD position on BHP.
As shown in Figure 1, below, the "difference" is $20,000 or the increase in the underlying share of $2.00 (with the price rising from $20.00 to $22.00) multiplied by the number of CFDs held, which in this case was 10,000.
Unfortunately, many traders believe they are leveraged in the physical market when trading CFDs but this is an incorrect assumption. When trading shares in the physical market, you own the shares and all the rights that go with ownership, including access to franking credits. When trading CFDs, however, you don't own anything; instead you pay to receive exposure to the movement in the physical share price.
The example in Figure 1, above, demonstrates that while you can make money 10 times faster when trading CFDs, you can also lose it 10 times faster. For example, if the share price had fallen by 10 per cent instead of rising, you would have lost 100 per cent of your capital plus costs. Therefore, it is imperative that you consider the risks should the share price go against you.
Know where and how to learn about CFD trading.
You can use a guaranteed stop-loss facility (by paying a small premium to the CFD provider) to minimise any losses (although I explain later why this is not the best strategy).
As already mentioned, when trading CFDs, you can trade the market both long (a rising market) or short (a falling market), which means you can exploit both trading and hedging opportunities from the price of a security increasing or decreasing. The downside risk of this is that any adverse movement in the underlying price of the security can give rise to large losses, given that you are holding a leveraged CFD position. It is for this reason why we would discourage you from investing in CFDs unless you are experienced in trading the underlying security.
Unfortunately, those attracted to trading CFDs or other leveraged markets, such as Forex, are often the ones with very little capital who can least afford to lose their money and, very little knowledge or experience in trading overall. If you have ever traded leveraged markets, you will have come across the statistic that around 90 percent experience a few winning trades interspersed with large losses, and only last around 6 to 12 months before giving up altogether. Therefore, my advice is not to become a statistic because the market will always be there, but you may not if you do not gain the skill to trade any instrument in any market direction.
Given that some of you won't hear what I am saying until you experience it for yourself, what follows are a number of trading strategies you need to consider if you decide to trade this instrument.
Regardless of the instrument or time frame you are trading, your money management rules are the most important element in trading to ensure you protect your capital on each and every occasion. Note the rules that follow not only apply to trading CFDs, they also apply to trading Forex.
In my four golden rules to investing, I always advocate that you should never use all of your available capital when trading leveraged markets. As a general rule of thumb, you should only trade 10 percent of your total capital in leveraged products and allocate the remaining 90 percent to trading a medium to long-term portfolio of lower-risk investments, such as blue chip shares.
When deciding on an acceptable position size for a trade, you need to look at the risk you are taking with your money rather than the amount of leverage your capital will provide. You do this by calculating your stop loss and working out the amount of money you will lose if you get stopped out of the trade. If the amount is outside your tolerance to risk, you need to reduce your position size until the amount is within an acceptable risk level. As a rule of thumb, I always apply a rule of no more than 2 percent of my total capital. So let's look at an example.
Let's assume you have a total of $100,000 in capital to invest and your money management rules state that you are willing to place 10 percent in high risk trades, which means you are willing to allocate $10,000 (of your $100,000) to trade CFDs. You now need to break this amount down into an acceptable position size for each trade. My golden rules for investing state that you should never invest more than 20 percent in any one position, which, in this instance, means you will be risking $2,000 on each CFD trade. And given that each trade will be leveraged 10:1, your $2,000 would allow you to take a CFD position worth $20,000.
By adhering to my golden rules means you will remain within the allowable risk level of exposing no more than 2 per cent of your total capital of $100,000 ($100,000 x 2% = $2,000) in any one trade, which would therefore only have a marginal effect on your portfolio if the trade moves against you.
A stop loss needs to be set for the market you are trading. Do not assume that the stop loss you set when trading the underlying share is the same stop loss you would use when trading CFDs. In fact, assuming this will cost you a lot of money.
Remember, when trading highly leveraged markets, you can lose money at a rate of up to 10:1, therefore a 5 percent fall in the share price could mean a 50 percent reduction in your capital. That said, it is important when setting a stop loss that it is close enough to protect your capital yet far enough away to allow the trade to unfold. We look at how to set a stop loss when trading CFDs in the next section.
While some CFD providers allow you to place automatic stop losses, I strongly advise against this if you are trading with a market maker because you are telling them where to take out your position. In other words, you are giving the market maker the upper hand to pull the spread to wipe you out. While they will tell you this doesn't happen, believe me when I say it does – that's why they call themselves market makers.
Now that you understand the importance of money management, let's look at the trading rules you could apply to trade CFDs.
When deciding which rule to apply, you firstly need to determine the potential length of the trade. In most cases, CFD trades will last somewhere between a few days and a few weeks. Given this, and the fact that CFD trading is highly leveraged, you need to use entry and exit rules that will enable you to respond reasonably quickly.
One of the most effective rules I have found that works well when trading CFDs is Gann's counter-trend theory. A counter trend is a movement in the opposite direction to the prevailing trend. Gann states that a counter trend is one to four bars or seven to 11 bars. Figure 2, below, illustrates a stock that has five bars (daily or weekly) moving in one direction followed by a movement of two bars in the opposite direction.
From this point, the stock turns and moves up in price in the same direction as the original five bars. Once this occurs, we can assume that the two bars that moved opposite or counter to the original five bars was a counter trend in the overall trend. The first five bars, however, are part of the trend and not part of the counter trend, as five bars falls outside of Gann's Theory for counter trends.
In a counter-trend move, your entry for a long position (buy) is triggered when price trades $0.01 above the previous bars high following the counter-trend, as marked on the second last bar in Figure 2, above. I have also marked two stop loss points in the event the trade does not move in the direction you expected. The lowest stop loss is $0.01 below the low of the preceding bar (where the entry was triggered) and the upper stop loss is $0.01 below 50 percent of the preceding bars range (where the entry was triggered).
The reason I have marked two stop loss points is that you can use either, once you enter a trade, depending on the risk you are willing to take. For example, if you choose to place your stop loss $0.01 below the low of the preceding bar, and this equates to a risk level of more than 2 percent of your total capital, you can either reduce your position size or bring your stop loss up higher. That said, be careful that you don't raise your stop loss too high, as this may result in you exiting the trade too early.
Now let's briefly discuss how you would manage your trade.
Unlike options, CFDs are not affected by time decay; therefore, you can use the same entry and exit rules as you would to trade shares. Obviously, when trading a leveraged instrument, your exit is far more important and needs to be managed diligently, so you can exit quickly in the event the trade moves against you. Remember, any move up or down is amplified at a rate of 10:1.
It is also important when trading CFDs that you manage your trades on a regular basis to ensure you exit as soon as the trade confirms there is a high probability of a change in the direction of the trend. I cannot stress enough how important it is to get your exit signal right when trading CFDs, simply because if you exit too early or too late, it can have a dramatic effect on your profits and your losses.
A good strategy to adopt, once you enter a trade, is to bring your stop loss up under each successive trough as shown in Figure 3, below. Your exit would then be triggered once the stock closes $0.01 cent below the preceding trough (low).
Notice, in Figure 3, below, we entered the trade on a counter trend and placed the first stop loss underneath the low of the preceding bar. After entering the trade, price rose for two bars before completing a two-bar counter trend, creating a new trough and the necessity to move our stop loss up underneath the second trough. Once again, price rose for another four bars, before falling for one bar to confirm a third trough and the opportunity to move your stop loss up again. You would continue to apply this strategy until you exited the trade.
So there you have it. While I have provided you with some effective strategies for trading CFDs, there many other ways in which you could trade this instrument. I have kept this example simple to demonstrate what could be achieved if you have the patience to stick to a plan. If you do decide to trade this instrument, I recommend you develop your own trading plan and back test it using a weekly chart.

Sensei Eihachi Ota. His story is extraordinary and his influence is being felt all over the world. From his humble beginnings in Okinawa, to his growing number of followers world-wide, Ota has proven that the true essence of powerful Karate technique stems from an intimate understanding of body mechanics. And when it comes to body mechanics, no detail is too small. Every knuckle, every toe, every muscle fiber is manipulated to generate the enormous amount of energy required to deliver what can only be described as magnificent feats of human strength, speed and ultimately what all Karate students crave – power.
If you haven't heard of Sensei Ota, take note – because the rest of the world has. In fact, it was announced at his June 2015 seminar in Gardena California that the Okinawan government has honoured Sensei Ota by bestowing upon him the title of 10th Dan. This is truly a rare display of appreciation from the Okinawa and is not recognition that is to be considered lightly. Indeed, Ota's promotion to 10th Dan is a reflection of his dedication to the proliferation of Shorin-Ryu Karate the world over and his continuing efforts to spread the teachings of Shorin-Ryu country by country, seminar by seminar.
Seminar attendees were in for a special treat this year. Also attending the seminar all the way from Okinawa was Sensei Shiroma – long time colleague of Ota and kubodo expert. Students were fortunate to receive direct instruction from one of Okinawa's most respected kubodo practitioners. Must of Saturday's seminar was spent learning the traditional ways of the Bo, Tonfa and Sai.
Ota himself demonstrated what can only be described as an epic display of Bo manipulation. Ota has spent a lifetime perfecting his body dynamics and it shows – each display of power was born of blistering speed – Ota's trademark. The way that Ota twists body and leverages his limbs can only be described as completely unique. It's interesting to note that Bo kata delivered by Ota is quite different from Bo we're traditionally accustomed to. Focusing on velocity and maximum strength strikes, Ota has indeed re-invented the why Bo should be practiced.
So what's next for Ota remains to be seen. Certainly Okinawa's recognition of Ota's dedication to Karate is a game changer. And now that Okinawa itself is striving to streamline and align it's Karate heritage through various programs and initiatives, Ota finds himself at the center of what could be the next chapter of Okinawan martial arts.

This is spectacular. Pep Guardiola surprised Man City fan Braydon (and I mean absolutely blew the kid's mind) by going on a taxi ride with him and the result is YouTube gold.
Braydon informed Guardiola of the dreary Manchester weather he would have to get used to, complemented the new manager's summer signings, and suggested Pep call Leo Messi to see if he'd want to make a move.
Finally, Braydon told Guardiola, "Since you don't have many friends in Manchester, whenever you need a friend, come to my house for tea." And that's when you will melt into a puddle of warm goo. Enjoy.

"Huzza for the new World and farewell to the Old One," John Adams wrote in late 1787, wrapping up a decade's worth of diplomatic service in Europe. Volume 19 of the Papers of John Adams chronicles Adams's last duties in London and The Hague. In the twenty-eight months documented here, he petitioned the British ministry to halt impressment of American sailors, toured the English countryside, and observed parliamentary politics. Adams salvaged U.S. credit by contracting two new Dutch loans amid the political chaos triggered by William V's resurgence. Correspondents like Thomas Jefferson and the Marquis de Lafayette mulled over the Anglo–American trade war that followed the Revolution and reported on the French Assembly of Notables—topics that Adams commented on with trademark candor. He wrote the final two volumes of his work, A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America.
Adams yearned to return home and see the American republic take shape. "For a Man who has been thirty Years rolling like a stone," Adams wrote, the choice was whether to "set down in private Life to his Plough; or push into turbulent scenes of Sedition and Tumult; whether be sent to Congress, or a Convention or God knows what." Back on his native soil of Massachusetts in June 1788, Adams settled into rural retirement with wife Abigail and watched the U.S. Constitution's ratification evolve. By volume's end, John Adams again resumes public life, ready to serve as America's first vice president.

Home Entertainment "Gun Control Thriller" Miss Sloane Gets Green Light
"Gun Control Thriller" Miss Sloane Gets Green Light
"EuropaCorp has acquired worldwide rights to Miss Sloane," variety.com reports. "The gun control drama was one of the hot packages going into this year's Toronto International Film Festival and the auction for the picture was highly competitive. The film stars Jessica Chastain [above] and is directed by John Madden of Shakespeare in Love fame. Production is slated to take place in 2016. FilmNation put the project together. It will partner with EuropaCorp on the film and produce the picture." Plot? The story's pretty vague – as you'd imagine for a movie in its infancy – but . . .
First-time screenwriter Jonathan Perera [ED: actor in the 2012 Salmon Rushdie-based film Midnight's Children] wrote "Miss Sloane," which centers on a lobbyist's efforts to push through tighter federal laws regulating guns. In the wake of the mass shootings in places like Newton, Conn. (sic) and the live television murder of two Virginia-based television reporters, the issue of gun violence is being hotly debated, making the project a hot-button one . . .
"The film's subject matter of gun control is an incredibly important issue in today's world," said EuropaCorp CEO Christophe Lambert in a statement. "John Madden and Jessica Chastain bring with them such a high level of artistry, making Miss Sloane a perfect addition to the EuropaCorp slate."
What does that tell you? What's the bet that the bad guy is Wayne LaPierre or an unreasonable facsimile thereof? Should bomb, if I'm allowed to use that expression.

Jeff the Griz September 15, 2015 At 06:42

Gotta disagree; AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH (shudder) did pretty well.
Old Ben turning in grave September 14, 2015 At 15:51
Ever see the B movie, Machete with Danny Trejo? That not only sold tickets, it got very good reviews (despite being a bucket of cheese). Underlying the whole movie was an "America has no right to have borders and you are an evil redneck KKK member if you don't agree" theme. It was filled with cartoonish characters based on leftist agitprop.
Good fight and shootemup scenes, though (in the same sense that a candy bar is good food). But I now deeply regret validating it with the rental fee I paid.
Grindstone September 14, 2015 At 18:31
You're seriously taking a political message from Machete?

So they're just trying to turn a profit off of the deaths of innocent people. Got it.
Gov. William J. Le Petomane September 14, 2015 At 13:15
I bet it gets 4 stars! One for each viewer.
I think the backers will nix the project when it gets horrible reviews at the test screenings in front of real people.
vv ind September 14, 2015 At 15:02
Depends where they test it. I'm pretty sure neither you nor I, or anyone else here for that matter will be invited to join the test pool
Rokurota September 14, 2015 At 13:19
Despite the liberal inclinations of the people in Hollywood, most of Hollywood's output is favors strength, courage, and traditional values. That's because all of our folk mythologies and literature are similiarly inclined, and every competent storyteller knows it. Indiana Jones will no more negotiate with Nazis than Beowulf will invite Grendel to tea. If Miss Sloane expects an audience, the climax will see Jessica Chastain fight off home invaders with a Mossberg Persuader.
Probably a 'Basterds' ending where they systematically murder LaPierre and all other American gun owners.
Typical movie-industry hypocrisy. After making billions of dollars producing ultraviolent movies (like the Transporter and Taken series), they turn their attention to telling us all how guns are evil and we dirty proles can't be trusted with them.
Stay classy, EuropaCorp…
Chip in Florida September 14, 2015 At 13:21
I wish them all the best of luck with their project.
Their opinions, and now movies, have no bearing on my reality or my rights.
Alex Peters September 14, 2015 At 13:24
It's funny to see Hollywood get it wrong time and time again. I'll bet they're still trying to figure out why "American Sniper" was so successful. FWIW, this has straight to DVD written all over it. It's unfortunate that Jessica Chastain is tied to this trainwreck since she was great in "Zero Dark Thirty". Still plenty of time for her to drop out though.
Defens September 14, 2015 At 22:48
So is Ms. Chastain playing the role of a better looking and less cross-eyed Shannon Watts?
GuyFromV September 14, 2015 At 13:25

Somehow, I don't think this could ever be as good a plot as seeing Lincoln pushing through the 13th Amendment.
anaxis September 14, 2015 At 15:55
Seeing Lincoln hunt vampires was more entertaining, and that's not sayin' much.
It was entertaining because of all the shady and salacious details going on behind the scenes of such a noble endeavor. Worth mentioning that the movie did not fail to note the irony in the ignoble results of such altruism.
Timmy! September 14, 2015 At 20:25
Wait, are you talking about the 13th thing or the vampires?
CarlosT September 14, 2015 At 13:52
Erin Brockovich meets gun control. The problem being that Erin Brockovich won so you have a uplifting storyline, and two, there's really no one on the pro-pollution side of the argument, so it's extremely easy to build a "valiant protector woman fighting to save innocents against the greedy corporate Borg" narrative without too many people objecting. The equivalent for gun control "people are hurt using guns, so we want to use the government to step on your necks, because reasons". Which will sell well in some markets, and horribly in a lot of others.
Southern Cross September 14, 2015 At 16:13
The movie will have an uplifting "Hollywood" ending where all the surviving evil gun owners are led off to re-education camps and their property redistributed to the needy. In the camps, the gun owners will undergo enhanced interrogation to determine the extent of their guilt before being herded to the showers for delousing.
The progressive's wet dream in a nutshell.
"valiant protector woman fighting to save innocents against the greedy corporate Borg"

I wonder how many lies will be in the first 10 minutes of this fucktardery. Probably not suitable for a drinking game, unless you actually want to die…..

That honestly sounds like it would be the most boring movie ever made.
'Hey lets watch a movie about lobbyists!'
Oh, really? How about a movie about the origins of the governing body for international soccer?
That turd grossed $918.00 in its opening (and only) weekend in the North American market. Ouch.
That thing was so incredibly doomed. Non soccer fans don't know or care about FIFA and soccer fans actively and passionately hate the guys running it. Most of that $918 was journalists and bloggers who took the hit to confirm, yes, it's exactly as bad as it sounds.

Is it too early to put on my tinfoil-hat and predict and associated theater shooting, engineered to pave the way to an Australian style gun grab? Yeah, probably…but whatever, you read it here first.
You're being charitable by assuming it will make it to theaters. Betcha it bombs in test screenings and ends up direct-to-video.

This will end up oscar bait and do well everywhere EXCEPT America. Just like how they planned Zero-Dark Thirty for an Obama win. This will be out just in time for the elections. And it will bomb because the reality is that America has more important things to worry about, like paying a mortgage on two barely above minimum wage jobs.
The sad part of your statement is that Americans could pay a mortgage on minimum wage at one point in time.
Not on today's houses, they couldn't. Such houses were 800 sq ft firetraps and had no AC, 1/4 acre or less, jammed up against an identical house on each side, in a sketchy neighborhood. And if you missed a payment, you'd better have your bags packed.

Musical interpretation is about discovering the hierarchical order and the connections between notes, gestures, motives, melodies, harmonies, phrases, cadences, rhythm, and form.
Musical narrative obeys principles like the surfer obeys the wave, which is created by the force of gravity (rhythm), cyclical movement of the tide (harmony), and surface tension of water (melody). From the hierarchical combination of these musical principles a narrative and thus expectation emerges. Within this expectation forms our aesthetic experience.
The performer needs to direct his attention to the multifaceted exchange of all elements at the same time, both as the creator and the receiver. It's the matter and mystery of a broad horizon of awareness: Attentionscape.


Are you struggling with intrusive thoughts? Do you frequently doubt yourself despite 'knowing' the facts? Are you constantly distressed because you engage in repetitive behaviors? Do you feel compelled to perform unnecessary and tiresome tasks to repel distressing thoughts, images, or negative feelings?
Dr. Casados: "One of my primary clinical specialties and true passions is the treatment of OCD. While I am not a survivor of OCD, nor am I aware of any of my own family members with this condition, I am good at what I do. I absolutely love watching my clients get better. OCD is very treatable, but it takes a skilled clinician who knows what he or she is doing." Call Today for a consultation.
I hold certification from the Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI), which is an intensive program designed to properly train professionals to use the correct tools to treat OCD. I am also a member of the OCD International Foundation and an associate of Beyond OCD (Formerly OCD Chicago).
I primarily use graded Exposure - Response Prevention (E/RP) strategies to treat OCD, as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Beware of any therapist who claims to treat OCD with other forms of therapies. E/RP is the only prescribed treatment approach known to effectively manage OCD.
I have educated many other professionals, parents, loved ones, and clients about the diagnosis of OCD and the correct treatment protocols, including how family members can help.
My experience also includes providing seminars on the treatment of OCD, teaching graduate students, and networking with fellow OCD specialists, including therapists at Rogers Memorial Hospital, a residential treatment facility that treats OCD.

Prince Philip's Relationship With Queen Elizabeth Explained
By Alexandra Simon/Updated: April 9, 2021 4:23 pm EST
Prince Philip's seven-decade marriage to Queen Elizabeth II made the two royals' union one of the longest-lasting marriages in the history of British sovereignty. The pair would have celebrated their 74th anniversary this November, but his recent death (via BBC News) on April 9 has brought that to an end. He was 99 years old. No couple in the monarchy had been married as long as the Queen and Prince Philip. Before them, the longest-married couple was the 57-year marriage of King George III and Queen Charlotte, which lasted also until her death (via The New York Times).
Princess Elizabeth married Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (previously Philip Mountbatten), on November 20, 1947 (via BBC News). She was 21 years old, he was 26. He became known as Prince Philip after his marriage to her, and she later became Queen Elizabeth II after inheriting the throne from her father, King George VI. She's ruled Great Britain and Northern Ireland ever since.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip's other relationship
The couple first met in 1934 at a royal wedding, that of her uncle and his cousin, who were Prince George and Princess Marina, respectively. They would meet again in 1939, and this is where their love story began (per Vanity Fair). But despite being known as husband and wife to most of the world, the royal couple was related in another way. Though Prince Philip was born in Greece, and was once Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, he had some British roots. And these were roots that directly linked him to his wife's family tree.
Their common ancestor: Queen Victoria. Queen Elizabeth II is her great-great grandchild. Elizabeth's great-grandfather was the son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Prince Philip is also a great-great grandchild of Queen Victoria. His great-grandmother was Princess Alice, one of Victoria's nine children. It all became connected when his mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg (the great-grandchild of Queen Victoria) married his father, Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark. This means that Philip and Elizabeth were both great-great grandchildren of Queen Victoria, making them third cousins.
Together, they had four children: Charles (born 1948), Anne (born 1950), Andrew (born 1960), and Edward (born 1964) (per Oprah Daily).

LYBBE, Richard (by 1479-1527/28), of Tavistock, Devon and Englefield, Berks.
Published in The History of Parliament: the House of Commons 1509-1558, ed. S.T. Bindoff, 1982
TAVISTOCK1
b. by 1479, 1st s. of Richard Lybbe of Tavistock by Joan. m. 1521 or later, Bridget, da. of William Justice of Reading, Berks., 1s. 2da. suc. fa. July/Dec. 1504.2
Richard Lybbe was born at Tavistock, where in 1500 he and his father were named feoffees in a conveyance of property, but on entering the service of the Englefield family he migrated to Berkshire and married a daughter of a wealthy Reading merchant. By 1527 he had settled in the village of Englefield, was holding some property at Sulham nearby, and had enlarged his modest inheritance by the purchase of the manor of Hardwick in Oxfordshire which was to become the home of his descendants. He had been returned for Tavistock in 1515 when the King had asked for the election of the previous Members, and thus he had probably sat in the Parliament of 1512 for which the names of the town's Members are lost. If his links with the Englefields predated 1512, his election in that year could have been favoured by Sir Thomas Englefield, who died before the next Parliament. What else has come to light about Lybbe derives from his will made on 7 Oct. 1527 and proved in the following February by his 'master' Thomas Englefield and Walter Barton of Reading. After remembering several churches, including those of his home and birthplace, he provided for his wife, children and brothers, and left money to the servants of Thomas Tropenell of Great Chalfield in Wiltshire and rings to Tropenell's wife and her sister-in-law Elizabeth Englefield. He also established a perpetual obit for the souls of his family at Tavistock.3

Making PACs work for business - political action committees - includes related article
In the mid-1970s, organized labor "owned" the Louisiana Legislature, says Dick Schneider, vice president of political action for the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI). "Workers' compensation rates were extremely high, unemployment compensation benefits were out of this world," he says, and the whole business climate "was a mess."
In Michigan, the United Auto Workers had a similar strangehold on the legislature in the 1970s and early 1980s, according to Robert LaBrant, vice president for political affairs of the Michigan State Chamber of Commerce.
Today there is a more pro-business atmosphere in both states because business became involved in the political process through political-action committees.
But business's battle for the hearts and minds of state legislators is far from over. Many statehouses are still controlled by lawmakers whose allegiances are to organized labor, teachers' organizations, or trial lawyers--the "Big Three" in state politics, according to many state political experts.
This coming November, voters in 44 states will be going to the polls to elect state lawmakers as well as national and local candidates. Four states--Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Virginia--have legislative elections in odd-numbered years. Alabama and Maryland hold their next statewide elections in 1994.
Now is the time for business owners to help pro-business office seekers with those elections, according to Tim Sponsler, director of United for State Action. The organization, based in Washington, D.C., helps from state political-action committees to support pro-business candidates for state elective offices. And that means not only voting but also becoming involved in the political process.
"It has become increasingly clear that political involvement by business on the state level is a necessary management function," says Sponsler. "The people we elect to our state legislatures have a tremendous impact on the way we can conduct business."
Indeed, the battleground for social, economic, and environmental policies has expanded. Over the past 10 years, the fights over such policies have occurred at least as often in statehouses as on Capitol Hill. In 1991, for example, 35 states passed tax-law changes that increased the cost of doing business, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), in Denver.
Many states expect their fiscal difficulties to continue, according to NCSL. This year's legislative sessions could result in more tax increases and such mandates as additional health-care benefits and parental leave for workers.
Despite the increase in state-level legislative activity, business has been slow to recognize the importance of political involvement at that level or has been frustrated by a lack of opportunities to become involved, says Sponsler of United for State Action.
"Historically," says the Michigan chamber's LaBrant, "chambers of commerce [and other business associations] at the state and local level have been reluctant political players."
That changed in recent years with the formation of state political-action committees by state chambers of commerce, industry associations, and independent business groups.
Nearly every state now has a broad-based business political-action committee, Sponsler says, and business now realizes that its lobbying efforts are only as good as its ability to hold lawmakers accountable for their actions.
"Business has always had a legislative agenda," says Maryann Palestino Snyder, director of political affairs for the Indiana Business Political Action Committee, an affiliate of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce. "What we've recognized is that the political activity and the political-action program are really extensions of implementing that legislative agenda."
Still, given a choice, it's likely that most business owners would rather face an Internal Revenue Service audit than deal with politics and politicians, says one political pundit.
With state lawmers increasingly championing legislation that affects business's bottom line, however, business people may not have a choice other than to get involved in politics.
LABI's Vice President Schneider puts it simply: "Get into politics or get out of business."
That was the conclusion reached by Louisiana business people in the mid-1970s, he says. Labor's lock on the legislature prompted business owners--"people who didn't normally talk to each other"--to band together to change the situation through the political process, Schneider explains.
Although it took 14 years, those efforts were successful, as LABI's four PACs helped loosen labor's grip on the statehouse. Business now has nearly 100 "friends"--lawmakers who vote with the business position at least 70 percent of the time--among the state's 144 legislators, according to Schneider.
In session after session at the Michigan state capitol, says LaBrant, business was frustrated by its lack of "the political clout of the UAW and other interest groups." The Michigan State Chamber PAC and a network of more than 50 local chamber PACs were formed in the late 1970s and early 1980s to "change the complexion of the Michigan Legislature," he says.
In 1983, after two state senators were recalled for their support of a huge tax hike--the first successful recal in Michigan history--the chamber PAC network raised more than $20,000 for pro-business candidates for the vacancies. Both won, and for the first time in over a decade, control shifted to pro-business lawmakers in the Michigan Senate.
The Indiana Business PAC has had similar successes in the Indiana General Assembly, according to Ernie Williams, senior vice president of IBPAC. The] Indiana PAC, which was formed in 1985, was "heavily" involved in several state races in 1990, says Williams, and is credited with helping unseat three antibusiness incumbents.
Political successes such as those in Indiana, Michigan, and Louisiana have earned credibility for business among state legislators. After the Michigan chambers' 1983 victories and a special-election win the previous year, LaBrant says, lawmakers "recognized that there was more than just the UAW in Michigan politics. We have not had a major piece of anti-business legislation pass the Michigan Legislature" in the years since.
In addition to giving business political clout, PACs provide vital political information, through vote records and candidate forums, and they serve as conduits between candidates and business people who want to do more than just make a campaign contribution.
"For a business person to decide to become involved in politics, that's a very difficult decision," says Williams. "That's where the business PAC must play a role. It must give the business person many levels of involvement, including working on a campaign. Business PACs need to be more than just organizations that collect money and write [campaign] checks."
Although business has made political inroads at the state level, it has some catching up to do, says Bernadette Budde, vice president for political education of the Business-Industry Political Action Committee, BIPAC, based in Washington, D.C., includes United for State Action, and it focuses on federal elections.
Not only have organized labor, teachers' unions, and trial lawyers been at the state political-action game longer, but they also have been more willing than business to campaign for their candidates, conduct polls, and put big dollars into state-level races, which are becoming more expensive and more sophisticated.
"Labor and the teachers and the trial lawyers have had it over the business community because of their willingness to fund and maintain a [political] structure whether there was something--a legislator or legislation--involved in their livelihood or not; they were always active politically," says Budde.
While business contributes a great deal to state legislative campaigns, until recently it lacked the "unity of purpose" that has characterized organized-labor and teachers' association PACs, says Michigan's LaBrant, an expert on PACs. Many of the first business PACs were "access-oriented," he says, explaining that they supported exclusively incumbents regardless of those incumbents' voting records on business issues.
Other past political mistakes by business have included contributing to both candidates in a race and supporting a candidate in a district in which he or she had no chance of winning, says the Indiana Business PAC's Snyder.
However, it seems that business at the state level has finally taken to heart the words written in August 1971 by Lewis F. Powell Jr.--the Richmond, Va., attorney who would later be named to the U.S. Supreme Court--in The Powell Memorandum, which became a charter for business activism:
"Business must learn the lesson, long ago learned by labor and other self-interest groups. This is the lesson that political power is necessary; that ... it must be used aggressively ... and without the reluctance which has been so characteristic of American business."

Rediff.com » Getahead » A Wedding Dress Bank for the Poor
A Wedding Dress Bank for the Poor
By SHOBHA WARRIER
'You will never be able to do any work for society if you wait to make enough money.'
IMAGE: Nasar Thootha. All photographs: Kind courtesy Nasar Thootha
We've all heard of blood banks. Toy banks. Gold banks. Food banks.
But a wedding dress bank is something unique and unheard of in India, especially since Indian women keep their expensive wedding saris and dresses. The sentimental value they attach to their wedding outfits cannot be discounted.
It needs courage, sincerity and openness to start a wedding dress bank and convince people to donate their precious wedding outfits to those who do not have the means to buy such expensive bridal wear.
That was what 44-year-old Nasar Thootha did in his village, Thootha, in Kerala's Malappuram district. And it wasn't as if Nasar decided to start a wedding dress bank one fine day; it is the culmination of a journey he had started as a humanitarian.
This Nasar Thootha's inspiring story.
An ordinary journey that became extraordinary
This incident happened 7-8 years ago. I was back in Thootha after working in a supermarket in Saudi Arabia for 10 years.
I was on a trip to Mumbai, accompanied by my friend Hamsa.
The train had halted at Shoranur Junction (Kerala), when we noticed a man in tattered clothes searching for food in a waste-bin. It was a heartbreaking sight.
We were carrying chapattis and chicken curry that my wife had packed for our train journey. We didn't think twice before running to him with our food packets.
Yes, we could have given him a few coins, but what he was in dire need of was food. No one will search through a garbage bin for food unless their hunger in unbearable.
I will never forget the smile he gave us when we gave our food packet to him. It said more than a thousand words could.
We returned to our train and continued our journey to Mumbai, both of us immersed in our own thoughts for a while.
Video: Kind courtesy Nasar Thootha
Why should we help the hungry?
The first question that came to my mind was: Why do we work so hard? Why did I go to a far-off land like the Middle East to work?
Given a choice, I would have stayed in my village with my family. But all of us strive to give a better life to our near and dear ones.
When I say a better life, the first thing that comes to my mind is a full stomach.
The truth is that there are many people who are always hungry and are forced to find food from the waste thrown away by others.
I asked my friend why we couldn't do something to help such people. He said it was a noble idea and we should go ahead with it.
As fellow human beings, we felt it was our duty to help the less-privileged lead a dignified life and not have to forage through roadside bins when they were hungry.
The starting point
We realised that most of these hungry wanderers are seen either on railway platforms or near hotels. We requested the railway station master at Thootha to let us know so when they spotted such people so that we could take care of them. So they started calling us.
The first thing we do with these homeless people is clean them, give them a good haircut and then offer them food. After that, we send them to a nearby home for the destitute.
As more and more calls started coming in, I began carrying a bag with a blanket, a shaving kit, scissors, ointments and bandaids with me all the time. This bag is now my constant companion.
The blanket has been useful many times. We often spot people sleeping on the platform and on the roadside without a bedsheet or a blanket. When we see such people, we cover them with a blanket and walk away, without waking them up.
Today, I drive my own private taxi. And I keep a bag in that too, just in case I meet a needy person along the way....
Whenever I see someone lying on the side of the road, I stop, clean him, give him proper clothes and feed him before continuing my journey.
So far, we might have rescued more than 100 people from the streets and railway platforms.
IMAGE: Nasar Thootha carefully stacks the donated outfits at the wedding dress bank.
Unforgettable moments
Rescuing each person, cleaning them and feeding them is unforgettable but one incident remains etched in mind.
When we found this elderly person in Perinthalmanna station, there were ants crawling not just in his wounds but all over his body. The wounds were so bad that we had to first admit him in a hospital. When he was discharged, we washed him clean in our Thootha river, dressed him in new clothes and admitted him in a home.
When I was about to leave, he hugged me tightly and kissed me on both cheeks. I became so emotional that I had tears in my eyes!
No award in the world can match the happiness or gratitude he expressed through those kisses.
When he passed away after a week, we performed his funeral.
As we became known for helping the destitute, many people started calling us to ask if we could help them with money for their daughter's wedding, whether we could buy rice or vegetables or chicken for the wedding, whether we could help them buy the wedding dress...
Though I was not in a position to help them financially, I was in contact with many people who were ready to help if I requested them to.
I felt buying a wedding outfit was the biggest financial burden for all parents. While you can buy a sack of rice or vegetables for Rs 3,000, or chicken for Rs 6,000-7,000, a wedding dress costs at least Rs 25,000-Rs 30,000.
On the other side of the spectrum, there are many families who buy expensive wedding outfits. Nobody uses them a second time. After being used once, they are carefully packed away and remain untouched in the cupboard.
My friends and I felt it was a good idea to tap this hidden treasure for the needy.
The dress bank becomes a reality
On April 10, 2020, we decided to start our project.
Using WhatsApp and Facebook, we sent messages to all our contacts, requesting them to send their wedding saris and dresses to us so that a needy family could benefit from their good deed.
The response was overwhelming.
We had also publicised through the local papers that those who were not in a financial condition to buy a bridal outfit could contact us.
The next problem was where to keep these outfits.
We converted a room in my house for this purpose. We first dry cleaned all the dresses that came from the donors, then kept them neatly -- exactly as they would be kept in a shop. I wanted the girls and their families to get the feeling that they were actually buying from a shop and not accepting any charity.
Since my taxi is my source of income, my wife and sisters-in-law would help those who came choose the dresses when I was not there.
We made it a point to note down the name of each girl, her address, phone number, date of the wedding, etc, in a notebook as I wanted to keep a record.
We could help 100 families in the first year.

Donors came from everywhere
When the number of donations increased, the room in my house became inadequate. We decided to rent a shop.
At this point, I must say that all this has been possible because of the help of many kind-hearted people. If one person paid the rent, the second paid the electricity bill, the third took care of the racks needed to display the dresses and so on.
We don't ask any of the families to return the wedding dress they take from the shop. If they return it, we are happy. In fact, 50-60 per cent of them return the dresses.
The reason we don't insist on them coming back to return the outfits is that they are so poor that they borrow money to come here by bus. It is inhuman to ask them to spend money to return the outfit after the wedding.
Instead, when we pass their area, we collect it.
If we could help 100 families in the first year, in the next 8-9 months, it increased to 185. So far, 285 families have collected wedding outfits from us.
Helping hands...
When our dress bank got written about in English newspapers, we started getting outfits from many places including Bengaluru, Pune, Kolkata, Mumbai, etc. Many people collect wedding dresses from their relatives and friends and send them to us.
After the reading about us in Al Jazeera, somebody from Italy called us for our address so that they could send dresses to our dress bank.
We have 800-900 wedding dresses on display now for Hindus, Christians and Muslims.
But the incident that still touches my heart is about this young, unmarried man, Abdul Anwar. He is a school teacher by profession and has come to the shop three times with wedding saris he has collected from others. And he is blind!
Dreams...
I won't say that I have earned lots of money so that I could help people. I have my personal responsibilities as well; I have to take care of my elderly parents, a handicapped sister, my wife and four children.
You will never be able to do any work for society if you wait to make enough money. In fact, there is never enough of it; greed makes human beings long for more and more money.
But I have to thank my friends who have been with me throughout this journey. We have travelled this path together.
When we started the wedding dress bank, it was a very small initiative; we were only thinking of helping those in our district, Malappuram.
Soon, we covered the entire state of Kerala. Then, people from the neighbouring states started contacting us both as donors and for wedding dresses.
Now, we are getting requests to start such dress banks in other parts of India too. We plan to help someone set up a wedding dress bank in Madurai soon.
Not even in my wildest dreams did I expect this kind of response from people.
I still have one dream -- I hope to help at least 1,000 families through our wedding dress bank.
The biggest award I have received so far is my name itself. I was just Nasar but, today, I am known as Nasar Thootha, after my village!
Yes, it is a huge responsibility, but I want to work hard to be worthy of it. I want to leave behind a small mark when I depart from this universe.
Nasar Thootha can be contacted at 9747338823

Market Street from Ogden through Hampstead, including this site of a future WalMart project, is developing into a major suburban business corridor. StarNews photo by Paul Stephen.
"As the Porters Neck area continues to grow, New Hanover Regional Medical Center has identified this area for needed health care services and significant investment," said the medical center's spokeswoman, Erin Balzotti. "The medical center owns two pieces of property in the Porters Neck area – the land being rezoned to make way for development of a Walmart, and land further north on Market Street, next to (the medical center's) Atlantic SurgiCenter.
"In 2003, New Hanover Regional Medical Center bought the land in question as a potential site for an expansion of services, but as part of our strategic planning process, NHRMC determined that the northern-most property was better suited for future development and expansion," Balzotti said.
"Once it was decided that this property was no longer needed for expansion, the asset was transferred to our pension fund. The money from the sale of the property will continue to be an asset of the pension fund," she said.
"NHRMC has recently proposed to develop a free-standing emergency room and expanded imaging services on the property we own in northern New Hanover County. This investment would not only bring convenient, accessible health care services to this growing part of our community, but would also bring multiple health care services to a single location," she said.

Thanks for answer. I just wonder how you can buy land and transfer to pension fund and did hospital sell to pension fund for a profit? Being a non profit county hospital makes me wonder how this works.

The hospital spokeswoman told us the property was transferred to the pension fund, not sold.
