What is HECM for Purchase?
HECM for Purchase allows seniors, age 62 or older, to purchase a new principal residence using loan proceeds from the reverse mortgage.
What is the purpose of the program?
The program was designed to allow seniors to purchase a new principal residence and obtain a reverse mortgage within a single transaction. The program was also designed to enable senior homeowners to relocate to other geographical areas to be closer to family members or downsize to homes that meet their physical needs, i.e., handrails, one level properties, ramps, wider doorways, etc.
What if the HUD-1 Lines 303 and 603 do not match the figures from the Loan Amortization Schedule?
The HECM for Purchase closing will use many of the acceptable practices used for insuring forward mortgages. Because the HUD-1 Settlement Statement is the final statement, it will reflect final adjustments (e.g., adjustments for fuel, electricity, etc.) not captured on the Reverse Mortgage Loan Amortization Schedule.
Is the fixed interest rate eligible in a HECM for purchase loan?
What documentation should be used to document the 60-day physical requirement to occupy the property after closing?
The HECM security instrument requires the HECM mortgagor to establish a legitimate principal residence in the home. Lenders are encouraged to ensure the HECM mortgagor lives in the home prior to submitting the case binder for endorsement. Lenders may, but are not required to, obtain a letter from the HECM mortgagor stating he/she lives in the home.
Are lenders required to submit form HUD 92541, Building Certification of Plans, Specifications & Site and 10-year warranties in the case binder?
No. Newly constructed properties must be 100% complete at the time of inspection and initial application.
Under what conditions may a senior cancel the purchase transaction?
The senior may decide to cancel the purchase transaction at any time prior to the date of closing. If the senior decides to cancel the transaction, he/she must notify all parties in writing. Where earnest money has been provided, the senior should review the sales contract to determine if the earnest money is refundable. The Federal Reserve Board of Governors should be contacted for right of rescission and Truth in Lending Act guidance.
Are the mortgage proceeds paid to the seller through escrow?
The title company (settlement agent) is responsible for disbursing funds in accordance with state law.
Is this a HECM for purchase or a traditional HECM?
A senior purchases a principal residence using 100% seller financing, signs a HECM loan application the next day or shortly thereafter and meets all eligibility criteria for obtaining a HECM. Does the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) consider this transaction to be a traditional HECM or a HECM for purchase transaction?
This scenario describes a traditional HECM. Consistent with existing policy guidance, the HECM loan proceeds will satisfy a recorded lien that was created from the seller financing. Lenders may request a copy of the executed HUD-1 and warranty deed, or its equivalent, to ensure transfer of title to the prospective HECM mortgagor.
Once a principal residence has been purchased using HECM loan proceeds, can the property serve as collateral for another secured loan?
Yes, only after the mortgage insurance certificate has been issued. Lenders are responsible for ensuring additional secured liens are subordinate to the HECM first and second liens. Such financing may not occur concurrently with the HECM closing.
What property types are eligible?
Existing one-to-four unit properties where construction has been completed and the property is habitable as evidenced by local jurisdiction issuance of certificate of occupancy or its equivalent.
Can a HECM for purchase be used to satisfy outstanding payment obligations associated with a land contract?
Yes, if the property will be used as collateral for the HECM and the mortgage will be held in fee simple, or on a leasehold under a lease for not less than 99 years which is renewable, or under a lease having the remaining period of not less than 50 years beyond the date of the 100th birthday of the youngest mortgagor.
Can a lender take application on a property that is under construction and not habitable?
No. The lender may only take application once the Certificate of Occupancy or its equivalent has been issued.
What property types are ineligible?
Cooperative units
Newly constructed residences where a Certificate of Occupancy or its equivalent has not been issued by the appropriate local authority
Boarding houses
Bed and breakfast establishments
Existing manufactured homes built before June 15, 1976; and
Existing manufactured homes built after June 15, 1976 that fail to conform to the Manufactured Home Construction Safety Standards, as evidenced by affixed certification labels (e.g., data plate and HUD certification label) and/or lack a permanent foundation as required in HUD's Permanent Foundations for Manufactured Housing Guide or homes that are installed or were occupied previously at another site or location.
Are set asides for property charges allowed (i.e., ground rent, tax, insurance, Homeowner Association fees, etc.)?
Yes. Mortgagors will continue to have the option of electing to have the lender withhold funds from their monthly payments or by charging such funds to the line of credit.
Are set asides for repairs allowed?
To be eligible for federal insurance, the property must meet FHA minimum property requirements. All repairs to correct major property deficiencies that threaten the health and safety of the homeowner and/or jeopardize the soundness and security of the property must be completed by the seller prior to closing. Appraisers must complete the appraisal report as "Subject To" the completion of these repairs.
Major Property Deficiency Examples:
No running water
Leaking roof
No primary heating source
Inadequate electrical system (including lighting)
Inoperable doors and windows (inhibited ingress and egress)
State or local code violations
Is the Amendatory Clause required?
Yes. An appraisal is required for all HECM transactions, including purchase transactions. The execution of the Amendatory Clause does not negate federal and state mandates on providing a copy of the appraisal to the consumer.
Are there special procedures for foreclosure homes that will serve as collateral for a purchase transaction?
No. FHA has sufficient valuation guidelines related to comparable sales and declining markets to address the resale of foreclosed properties. HUD has imposed a standard of accountability to which lenders, sponsor lenders, and loan correspondents will be held is the same as the standard used to impose civil money penalties for program violations, and that standard is one of knowing (actual knowledge) or had reason to know.
If the lender suspects the senior has become involved in a property flipping scam, who should be contacted?
If a lender suspects a senior has become a victim to a property flipping scam, contact the Processing and Underwriting Division of the local HOC. Complaints may also be reported to HUD's Inspector General Hotline at: HUD Office of Inspector General Hotline, GFI, 451 7th Street, SW Washington, DC 20410 Phone: 1 (800) 347-3735 or TDD: (202) 708-2451.
Are gifts an acceptable source of funding?
Prospective mortgagors may use their own money or money obtained from the sale of assets. The monetary investment requirement can also be met by the use of approved funding sources as defined in HUD Handbook 4155.1 REV-5, section 2-10, with the exception of the following funding sources which may not be used:
Trade Equity
Rent Credit
Cash or its equivalent, in whole or in part, from the following parties, before, during or after loan closing:
– The seller or any other person or entity that financially benefits from the transactions, or
– Any third party or entity that is reimbursed, directly or indirectly, by any of the parties described in the previous bullet.
What would be an "allowable FHA funding source" for gap financing of the equity portion?
A withdrawal from the mortgagor's savings or retirement account would be an acceptable funding source.
How is the maximum claim amount and principal limit calculated?
For HECM purchase transactions only, the maximum claim amount will be the least of: 1) the appraised value; 2) sale price; or 3) FHA mortgage limit for a one family residence. The principal limit is determined by multiplying the maximum claim amount by the principal limit factor corresponding to the age of the youngest mortgagor or non-borrowing spouse, the expected interest rate and the initial MIP option that the borrower selects.
Can prospective mortgagors apply credit card cash advances towards the required monetary investment or closing costs?
No. This would be a violation of 24 Code of Federal Regulations 206.32(a), which requires all outstanding obligations connected to the HECM transaction, purchase or otherwise, to be satisfied prior to or on the date of closing.
Are seller concessions allowed?
No. Seller concessions are applicable to forward mortgages only.
Is seller financing permitted?
Is the Real Estate Certification required?
When purchasing a new principal residence, if the HECM proceeds do not cover the sales price, can part or all of the property's indebtedness be subordinated behind the first and second HECM liens if the existing lien holder is willing to execute a subordinate agreement?
No. All existing liens must be satisfied at the HECM closing.
If the source of funds comes from the sale of the homeowner's principal residence or other owned property, and the sale is occurring the same day as the closing on the HECM, can a copy of the executed HUD-1 and cashier's or certified check, evidencing the sale, be used to verify the funding source?
Yes. In addition to the HUD-1, a copy of the sales contract executed by all parties and a copy of the cashier's or certified check bearing the name of the seller can be used to verify the funding source.
Can prospective mortgagors obtain a secured or non-secured loan from another asset (i.e., car, home equity line of credit, or investment property or second home) to satisfy the monetary investment or closing costs?
No. Consistent with existing policy, bridge loans and other interim financing methods associated with HECM transactions are prohibited, unless the unpaid or outstanding obligation can be satisfied prior to or on the day of closing.
In lieu of providing a Verification of Deposit with the most recent bank statement, what other alternative documentation will FHA accept? Note: Full Doc vs. Alt Doc-one is a compliment for the other.
FHA will accept the two most recent, consecutive original bank statement(s), belonging to the borrower, which covers the most recent (three-month period) and previous month's balance. Bank statements that are more than 120 days old prior to the closing date are not acceptable.
Is the finance transaction of Loan A prohibited in this scenario?
Senior currently owns Home A. Senior wishes to purchase Home B. Senior borrows money (with Loan A) and uses Home A as collateral for Loan A, and uses the money from Loan A for a down payment on Home B. The remainder of the Purchase proceeds for Home B, which will be the senior's principal residence, comes from a HECM for Purchase transaction.
Yes the transaction is prohibited. Although Loan A served as a secured loan tied to Home A, the money was applied toward the HECM for purchase transaction and would violate 24 CFR 206.32 (a) which provides that there shall be no outstanding or unpaid obligations incurred by the HECM mortgagor in connection with the HECM transaction.
Can the HECM mortgagor participate in a rent back/leaseback agreement with the seller?
No. When purchasing a new principal residence, the HECM mortgagor has 60 days to occupy the home. Unlike a forward mortgage, there is an increased risk to FHA when the home is not occupied by the HECM mortgagor. Prior to closing, the HECM mortgagor and seller should agree to a date for physical occupancy of the property and the lender should confirm occupancy prior to their submission of the case binder to the local HOC for endorsement.
Does FHA have special eligibility requirements for first-time homebuyers?
No. FHA encourages all first-time homebuyers to meet with a reverse mortgage counselor that offers pre-purchase counseling to educate themselves on the responsibilities of becoming a homeowner. Prior to signing a sales contract, FHA encourages a home inspection of all properties that will serve as collateral for HECM for purchase transactions. The inspection serves two purposes, to determine the magnitude, if any, of repairs and/or rehabilitation the home as well as helps the buyer to negotiate the purchase price in situation where a home requires repair or rehabilitation.

REVIEW: Orange Tangerine MiO Liquid Water Enhancer with Vitamins
December 29, 2011 December 24, 2020 Marvo Reviews
With it being orange-tangerine flavored, I expected the MiO Liquid Water Enhancer with Vitamins to have some vitamin C. But the nutrition facts clearly state, "Not a significant source of Fat Cal, Sat Fat, Trans Fat, Cholest, Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium, and Iron."
So what is it a significant source of?
Well, after scanning the words and numbers on the bottle and trying this new MiO flavor, I have to say it's only a significant source of sucralose and the color orange. While it does have B vitamins, an 8-ounce serving of this MiO provides only 10 percent of your daily value of vitamins B3, B6, and B12. Pfff…Me and my gummy multivitamin laugh at that 10 percent.
Having 10 percent of anything makes me wonder, why bother? A bowl of Cocoa Puffs and most other kids cereals provide 25 percent of your daily value of B vitamins. Or if you want to drown yourself in B vitamins, half a bottle of 5-Hour Energy has 75 percent of your daily value of vitamin B3, 1,000 percent of your daily value of vitamin B6, and over 4,000 percent of your daily value of vitamin B12.
Even if you consumed all 24 servings a bottle of this MiO provides, you still wouldn't get as much vitamins B6 and B12 as a 5-Hour Energy, but at least your pee might turn orange, allowing you to write your name in the snow using a color other than yellow.
If you've never made a beverage using MiO, the instructions read as if you're playing with a Bop-It. First, you flip it, then tip it, then sip it, and then click it.
The Orange Tangerine MiO Liquid Water Enhancer smells as if I walked into an orange Tang dust cloud. It also tastes like the stuff that was once consumed by NASA astronauts on some Gemini space missions, except less tangy. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of drinking Tang and want a reference that your grandparents won't get, it tastes like a much sweeter VitaminWater Essential. And for those of you who have never downed a Tang or VitaminWater, what are you doing reading a blog filled with junk and processed food reviews?
The bottle says it contains "Natural Flavors with Other Natural Flavors," but it's artificially sweetastic thanks to it being a significant source of sucralose. Even though it's artificially sweetastic, I like the orange-tangerine flavored MiO as much as I like the fruit punch version. Although, it almost became undrinkable when I got a little overzealous with the squeezing.
The point of MiO is to encourage us to drink the recommended amount of water and I think the Orange Tangerine MiO Liquid Water Enhancer with Vitamins can motivate me to do so. It's a fine addition to the MiO line, even though the pitiful amounts of B vitamins are completely bogus additions.
(Nutrition Facts – 1/2 tsp – 0 calories, 0 grams of fat, 30 milligrams of sodium, 0 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of sugar, 0 grams of protein, 10% vitamin B3, 10% vitamin B6, and 10% vitamin B12.)
Item: Orange Tangerine MiO Liquid Water Enhancer with Vitamins
Price: $3.50 (on sale)
Size: 1.62 fluid ounces
Purchased at: Target
Pros: Tastes like Tang, but not as tangy. The pleasure derived from destroying a Bop-It because it's so frustrating to beat. Astronauts. A significant source of the color orange. Gummy multivitamins. Makes 24 8-ounce servings, if you're not overzealous with the squeezing.
Cons: Amounts of B vitamins are a joke. Artificially sweetastic. It's orange flavored but contains no vitamin C. Get cloyingly sweet when one gets overzealous with the squeezing.
Beverage MiO Water
15 thoughts to "REVIEW: Orange Tangerine MiO Liquid Water Enhancer with Vitamins"
Your last point, to encourage people to drink more water, is probably the only good thing about it, then! Hey, whatever works….?
Marvo says:
Another good thing about it is that it's a way to play paintball without paint or balls. Just squeeze and shoot at your opponent.
Annie Benson says:
1. Obtain fresh beets.
2. Cut tops off beets and wash well. Trim any rough spots, or peel if you're into that sort of thing.
3. Cut into 1 inch cubes, put in a lidded casserole dish. Toss with salt and a bit of olive oil. ADD NO WATER. Cover dish.
4. Cook in 350 F oven, stirring every ten minutes or so, until tender. This should take around a half hour to fourty five minutes.
5. Eat as many of the roasted beets as your belly can hold.
6. Wait 4 to 6 hours.
7. Write your name in the snow in a beautiful sunset red/purple color.
Note: This apparently doesn't work for everyone. It seems some people can process the beet color better than others. Also, your next bowel movement will be an interesting shade as well. This means it can be entertaining to feed your friends and family this side dish, and not tell them about this side effect. Chances are, they'll have forgotten what you fed them for dinner by the time they have to answer nature's call.
Note note: And this tastes pretty good too. Feel free to cook it just for food value and not base entertainment, if you're into that sort of thing.
I only cook things for entertainment value. For example, I only cook spaghetti and meatballs so that I can recreate the famous scene in Walt Disney's Lady and the Tramp.
Why do I need to drink more water? I drink liquids when I am thirsty, humans have been using that method for millions of years. If it was a faulty method we would be extinct.
Now that I read it again, I wrote that wrong. I changed it.
mr natural says:
mmm propylene glycol aka antifreeze. so tastey!
I'd write some kind of rebuttal to this, but I'm lazy. It might be the propylene glycol making me feel this way. Anyhoo, I'll just say I've stuck worse things in my mouth.
This flavor turns out to be pretty good.
ooh! Ive been meaning to try this! 7 out of 10 aint bad either 🙂
I've tried a few of these, and the orange tangerine is my favorite one. It kinda reminds me of fruit loops the way it smells…but it's good.
granny says:
I like to add a squirt of the black cherry to a 16 oz. glass of limeade made from Nellie & Joe's Famous Key West Lime Juice.
Sugar free, tastier, and cheaper than the over-priced stuff at Sonic.
pocketdare says:
So, essentially your only criticism of this artificially taste-tastic water flavoring is that it doesn't have as much B-vitamin as you thought? That's what your daily multi-vitamin is for. It may be artificial but it's drawn me back from water and away from the sea of Diet Coke I was consuming before this came along. Bravo Mio!
imani says:
if you're looking for the vitamin part, Sunkist Orange Citrus water enhancer has vitamin C. 50% DV per serving size.

Start Your Retirement Plan X-Ray Today!
G. David Biddle, AIF® founded Biddle Capital Management (BCM) in 1996 after several very successful years at a traditional sales based financial firm. BCM was started to focus on fee based investment and financial advice that was focused on the client. Dave was an advocate for the fiduciary concept that was budding in the late 1990's. The early client focus was on retirees and pre-retirees to provide them with independent client focused advice for a secure future.
As the fiduciary concept grew and the investment management process at BCM matured there was an obvious link with ERISA 401(k) retirement plan management. Dave was one of a limited number of advisors who were serving retirement plans as a fiduciary. Eventually BCM Retirement Solutions was established as a division of BCM to support and help manage 401(k) plans. A specific division was needed to develop and support all the complex fiduciary requirements of retirement plans. After the 2006 ERISA law amendments that brought 403(b) plans into similar compliance with 401(k) plans, Dave began to educate and assist nonprofit 403(b) plan sponsors in upgrading their plans.
The BCM fiduciary investment management process that started in 1996 has been upgraded and improved upon as tools and fiduciary concepts have developed. The BCM fiduciary process is used for both individual clients and retirement plan clients today resulting in advice and management that is independent and client focused.

O'Malley & Langan PC Praises the Passage of ABLE Act to Aid Disabled Workers
Attorney Todd O'Malley, founder of O'Malley & Langan PC, says the work of one of the firm's law clerks, Sara Wolff, cannot be overlooked in the passage of ABLE Act.
Commenting on a Lancaster Online article about the signing of the "Achieving a Better Life Experience" (ABLE) Act into law, Scranton, PA attorney Todd O'Malley today praised O'Malley & Langan law clerk Sara Wolff for her role in raising awareness for the bill, which extends financial benefits to disabled workers across the United States.
O'Malley, an experienced workers' compensation attorney at Scranton law firm O'Malley & Langan PC, based his comments on a December 29 article, "People with disabilities finally ABLE to save." The article details efforts made by Wolff, a law clerk at the firm for more than 13 years, to petition elected officials for their support in extending the rights of disabled workers.
"At O'Malley & Langan, we have proudly watched our own Sara Wolff spearhead the drive to get the ABLE Act passed," O'Malley said. "The ABLE Act will allow workers with long-term disabilities, such as Down syndrome or those with autism spectrum disorders, to save money for important costs such as housing and education while qualifying for government services and Medicaid."
According to the article, Wolff lobbied for the past eight years to raise awareness for the bill, including visiting Washington, D.C., with other advocates and testifying before the Senate Finance Committee. Wolff, who has Down syndrome, won over the support of representatives such as U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-Scranton), who was one of two senators to introduce the act in the senate.
According to Lancaster Online, the ABLE Act of 2014 passed the House by a vote of 404 to 17 and in the Senate by a vote of 76 to 16, allowing people with disabilities to save up to $100,000 in tax-deferred accounts for eligible expenses such as education, medical expenses, employment training and housing.
O'Malley said that Wolff, a gifted public speaker and board member of the National Down Syndrome Society, played an integral role in the passage of the bill, including the creation of an online petition in support of the ABLE Act on change.org that gathered more than a quarter-million supporters.
"The passage of the ABLE Act undoubtedly paves the way for disabled citizens on SSI to dramatically improve their quality of life. Thanks to Sara's courageous and tenacious efforts, this dream has become a reality for millions," O'Malley said. "We are proud to call Sara a member of the O'Malley & Langan family."

D.B.Cooper's case has been of interest to the world for decades now. During the 45 years since the Skyjacker got away, there have been hundreds, if not thousands of good suspects, but so far noone has been convicted of the robbery. Even moreso, for a long time many people involved with the case believed the robber D.B.Cooper or Dan Cooper (as was the real name on his passport) to have died during the jump. Yet, no evidence of that has been ever found.
Years after the robbery some $6000 of the stolen cash was found on a beach, but that was some 30 miles from the probable skydiving site. And many investigators believed this could have been planted there to be found.
Now a group called Citizens Sleuths, based on a evidence of a cheap clip-on tie, have come out with a theory that D.B.Cooper may have been an engineer working at a plant supplying metal to the aerospace industry. So what about the tie? The group claims that exotic metal particles (cerium, strontium sulfide and pure titanium) were discovered on his tie. And this, according to Citizens Sleuths, means that D.B.Cooper had to have worked at a plant that used titanium, or very minimum had access to it. And this (potential) fact reduces the number of potential suspects noticeably.
For the group, the main question is whether the tie found on his plane seat actually belonged to him.
D.B.Cooper was a man who hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft during flight from Portland, Oregon to Seattle, Washington, on November 24, 1971. After extorting a $200,000 ransom he parachuted to an uncertain fate.

This weekend we welcomed a new arrival to the ranch: O.J. the wobbly cat. She came to us from the Bitterroot Humane Association in Hamilton, Montana. Diane M., who volunteers at the shelter, had contacted us about O.J. and then drove her out to the ranch.
O.J. has cerebellar hypoplasia, which affects fine motor skills and balance, but her case is much milder than our Wobbler Hall of Fame inductees, who include Wobbles the cat and Allie the Lab/Retriever mix. Although O.J. doesn't flop like they do, she does have a pronounced head tremor. Like all our wobblers, though, she is very sweet and very affectionate.
Beth was out taking photos this afternoon for our summer newsletter when she happened to take this interesting shot of old, blind Peabody and blind Luke in front of Widget's House. The photo reminded me of the expression, "like two ships passing each other in the night."
Peabody is in the "blowing the coat out" stage, where his thick hair just keeps coming out in tufts. The more we brush, the less difference it seems to make! The next day he always has more. Depending on the dog and coat, this can go on for weeks; the German Shepherds here seem to do this more often than anyone else.
In the background on the left is blind Dusty enjoying a sunny spring afternoon.
Before I get into today's topic, I just wanted to thank everyone who posted or emailed such wonderful and kind comments about Lonesome George's death yesterday. We were really touched by the heartfelt thoughts that were sent our -- and George's -- way. Thank you so much.
Our equine vet, Dr. Bill Brown, was scheduled to spend the day here doing spring vaccinations and health exams on all the horses. (I guess we can say "horses" now since George as a mule was the only non-horse equine at the ranch. And George never wanted to be confused with a horse, who he thought were all confused anyway, except for his sweetheart Lena.) So Bill and his vet tech, Vicky C., arrived this morning to begin a long 'herd health' day.
In the photo Bill is working on Patches, a Paint mare who came to us a few years ago from an animal cruelty court case in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana. A judge had turned Patches over to us for safekeeping until the defendant came to trial. When the case finally ended in a conviction a year later, the judge granted us custody of Patches. Kathryn is holding Patches, while Vicky was behind me keeping the syringes and other supplies prepped for Bill.
That's Domino in the background, holding up the corner of the shed with his head. Domino is mostly blind but can still see a bit out of his left eye.
Bill saved the strangles vaccine for last. Strangles is a highly contagious and nasty disease in horses affecting the lymph nodes of the upper respiratory tract. The vaccine is administered by squirting the fluid into the nostril so the horse absorbs it through the nasal membranes. Getting the vaccine into a horse's nose successfully is quite an art, and no one is better at doing it than Bill. In this video I shot a few minutes after the photo of Patches, Bill is giving the strangles vaccine to our giant Belgian draft horse Rooster. (The wind was blowing and unfortunately the microphone picked it up on the audio track.) At the end you'll see Rooster was showing me exactly what he thought about getting this stuff squirted up his nose.
Our beloved old mule, Lonesome George, died today. Kathryn found him dead in his corral early this afternoon. She came to the door, in tears, to tell me. I rushed back out to the corral with her. There he was, laying on the ground, while his blind girls -- Lena, Nikki and Destiny -- milled around, unsure what had happened to their Uncle George.
We moved the girls into the barn and then huddled with George. Yes, losing this little mule reduced us to tears. He was no ordinary mule. He was as cute as can be, easy-going, dignified, gentle, and adorable. He had an unflappable, dreamy nature about him ... an almost Buddha-like manner. He was a mule you could invite into your house and he would have ambled from room to room and never knocked anything over. If we'd ever had a cocktail party here, we could have pictured George mingling with the guests.
George was ever so sweet with the blind foals he helped Lena raise. He never understood or appreciated why we turned him into a 'nanny mule' -- it was a role he didn't like but he performed so well. George could certainly be mule-ish, but in such an endearing way it made us love him even more. And he could dig a hole by the gate in an hour, pawing at the ground because he wanted out ... or in. It didn't matter, he pawed whenever he wanted something.
We used to let him just wander around the ranch because he loved to explore. George never went far -- he cherished Lena and would hee-haw in distress if she disappeared from sight -- and he always stayed within view of the barn. Even yesterday morning we turned him loose so he could wander.
Yet it was clear in recent weeks that he was losing his battle with cancer, despite the chemotherapy. His appetite had diminished and he started losing weight rapidly. He became "ribby" and bony, even while his personality stayed pretty much the same.
So today wasn't a shock, but still an emotional jolt. Even when you're expecting it, you're never really prepared for it.
Beth soon joined Kathryn and me at George's side. I called Alayne, who was in Missoula, to tell her the sad news. Then we set out to bury George. His grave is close to the barn, so he'll still be able to keep an eye on his girls.
We loved this old mule. We still do.
I went over to Widget's House this evening to take some photos for tonight's blog ... I didn't have any particular story in mind, just thought I'd see what I might get with the camera. Kathryn had just arrived inside to start getting the dogs' dinner ready, so I stepped into the back paddock.
There was our deaf Pointer, Tyler, on the search for bugs or flies or just about anything he could chase through the air. Sometimes if a bug is crawling up the wall of the building but it's out of reach, he'll stand there staring at it, fixated on the tiny moving creature.
That's Beth's cottage in the background behind Cedar.
Oh, and then we have Levi. Levi went blind from trauma ... the blood in his eyes indicate he was beaten ... and as a result he has a really bad submissive urination complex. I would like to tell you this photo was of him rolling around in happiness, but no, he was being submissive because I had just told him "Off! Off!" when he jumped on me. He's a very energetic jumper, and any correction sends him into his submissive mode. Despite this, he really is a very joyful character and loves being with his friends.
And finally, back inside Widget's House, was Libby. She's one of our original 'Seattle six-pack' of dogs who moved to Montana with us. Libby was the victim of two separate animal cruelty cases in Shelton, Washington -- two different owners abused her -- and both ended up being prosecuted. With that track record the animal control shelter didn't want to adopt her out locally (they had inadvertently adopted her out to the second abuser, after rescuing her from the first one) and asked if we could take her. Her only 'disability' is, um, a case of obesity. This is a flattering photo, trust me.
And that's what I captured with the camera this evening!
Everything You Always Wanted To Know But Were Afraid To Ask About ... Dog Poop!
That's wobbly Allie in the foreground, but what are those things behind her? You're looking at our new compost bins! While we have always composted the horse manure and then spread it on our pastures as a soil amendment, we never thought it was 'okay' to compost dog poop and apply it the same way.
So every week we've scooped the poop, bagged it, and hauled it to the dump. In winter this is particularly unpleasant, because we end up scooping snow and ice along with the poop, and if the temperature rises above freezing the bags get full of melted poop water, the bags spring a leak, and ... you can figure out the rest.
About a month ago Kathryn asked, "WHY can't we compost dog waste?" We talked about all the things we remembered reading and hearing about it, but concluded we should do some research. Lo and behold, Kathryn found a new guide to composting dog waste published by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This report was published in December 2005 by the NRCS office in Fairbanks, Alaska. Because of all the sled dogs in Alaska, dog waste is a big problem there -- 20 million pounds of dog poop produced each year in Fairbanks and Anchorage alone!
The NRCS report was based on a study that involved several mushers and dog kennels in Alaska. The research showed that composting dog poop was not only safe and effective, but resulted in a product that you could indeed use to improve the soil, just as we do with the composted horse manure. (But you still wouldn't want to use the composted dog poop on food crops for human consumption.) The NRCS how-to guide says that "Composting dog waste is a simple and inexpensive method for disposing of dog waste that can enhance the environment and reduce the amount of waste deposited in landfills."
The caveat here is that the report says "It takes at least 10 dogs, preferably 20, to generate enough waste to maintain a bin." Well, that isn't a problem for us!
Next it was my turn to research compost bins on the market. I found the ones we needed at a place called Green Culture and ordered them. That's what you see in the photo. Interestingly, the literature that came with the bins said we shouldn't compost dog waste!
Finally, one bit of trivia to leave you with, just in case you ever really wanted to know: The average dog generates 274 pounds of poop per year. There you have it.
Our big handsome boy blind Buddy was adopted today by Susan S. from Missoula. Susan had come out on Monday to meet Buddy for the first time and introduce him to her other dog, a very small girl named Dalai. Susan decided Buddy was just perfect, and Dalai seemed to think Buddy was just her type. So Susan came back today to pick him up and take him home.
Susan added, "He LOVES his new crate. After he explored the yard a bit I showed him where his crate was and he already knows exactly where it is. When I gave him a biscuit he took it right in the crate to eat. He also likes his new hedgehog toy and tennis ball -- he's played with the ball a bit but always takes it back in his crate."
I took the photo this afternoon of Susan with Buddy, just before they left for Missoula. Thank you, Susan, for adopting this wonderful boy!
About a year ago we realized we had a very remarkable foal on our hands in the form of Nikki. Incredibly smart, calm, easy-going and -- dare I say it -- gorgeous, too. A dream foal, except for one small problem. She was blind.
Her first few months of life had been rough, but by the time she was a year old, she had blossomed into an adorable young horse who awed visitors with her ability to buck and kick and whirl around her corral, and never run into a thing. Nikki would race right up to the corral fence, hit the brakes, and stop a foot from the panel. Then she would pivot with athletic grace and take off like a flash to the fenceline on her right, coming to a dead stop -- again -- just a foot from the corral panel. People would ask us, "Is she really blind?"
Thus it began to dawn on us last spring that when she turned two this year, we should begin training her for under the saddle. We wanted to find out what she could do and how far we could take her. Last December we interviewed and hired a trainer named Nichole Zupan. Nichole went to college on a rodeo scholarship, majored in equine studies, and was experienced in starting colts. Just as important to us, Nichole showed a real interest in working with a blind horse. As it turned out, Nichole lives just 20 minutes from the ranch, making it very easy and convenient for her to come out a couple of times a week. We agreed that when the snows finally melted and we had bare ground, Nikki's training would begin.
To give you a better sense of the ground work, I also shot some video of this first training session. It was very breezy, and although I didn't realize it at the time, the microphone picked up all the wind ... so that's pretty much the only audio you hear on this video ... sorry! Except Nikki does get a word in at the very end.
Evelyn and I left the ranch late this afternoon and headed to Spokane, Washington. Evelyn has an appointment with our veterinary ophthalmologist, Dr. Bill Yakely, on Monday morning. For this sweet blind Lab, it's also a trip home in a way -- she originally came to us from Spokane Animal Control.
I took the photo this evening when we arrived at the hotel where we're staying. I learned on my first stop on this trip that whenever I get out of the truck, Evelyn immediately -- and I do mean immediately, because I barely have the door closed before she does this -- climbs from the back seat into the driver's seat. Of course, she can go from back seat to front seat in an instant, but somehow just can't figure out how to go in reverse. Hmm.
Evelyn is blind from cataracts, but she also now has detached lenses. Just recently the lens in her left eye ended up pressing against the back of the cornea, causing irritation and inflammation in that eye. The lens in her right eye is still floating in the fluid inside the eye. Our vet in Helena, Dr. Brenda Culver, evaluated Evelyn last week and recommended we take her to Dr. Yakely.
We don't know yet what the outcome will be. Evelyn will have an electroretinogram (ERG) first, which will determine whether her retinas are still firing and if so, to what degree. The ERG results will dictate what kind of surgery she has. Evelyn might have lens extraction surgery in one or both eyes, or we might have to remove one or both eyes. If her retinas are still functioning normally, it's possible ... just maybe ... she might wind up with some ability to see again.
I'm nervous about it, she's not. Evelyn is sacked out on the hotel room floor as I write this. When I took her for her first walk this evening, she did her trademark 'happy girl' routine ... she found just the right patch of grass and rolled around on her back, woofing with delight.


Instead of ushering the U.S. into the future, cryptocurrencies are taking the country back to the 1830s, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said Monday.
In the pre-Civil War era, 90% of U.S. money supply was privately issued banknotes. These currencies traded at different rates at different times and places. There were discount books in each town to keep track of how much each currency should be discounted.
Is something like this happening today?
"It certainly appears to be," Bullard said in a speech to CoinDesk Consensus 2018 conference in New York.
Perhaps to underscore his theme, digital currencies have been losing value over the last 10 days. The No. 1 digital currency, bitcoin BTCUSD, +0.00% was the best of a bad bunch in trading on Monday.
At present, there are lots of privately issued cryptocurrencies, trading at various rates minute by minute, Bullard said.
According to Investing.com's current list, more than 1,800 cryptocurrencies have launched, he noted.
The currency arrangement pre-Civil War was not popular and there was a call for uniform currency, which was implemented during the Civil War.
"The only reason this is not a bigger issue today is that the total volume of cryptocurrency trade is not that large in relation to the entire economy," he said.

The Association of Accredited Small Business Consultants® (AASBC®) is the only global association specializing in training and certification of small business and SME (small to medium-sized enterprise) consultants.
Although headquartered in the United States, AASBC has a global reach. Our certifications have no boundaries, as SME business principles remain the same regardless of country location. Whether located in a large city or rural area, developed country or emerging economy, SME business owners need professional assistance from an expert who understands the uniqueness of a SME.
This designation is awarded exclusively to AASBC's international members who do consulting work across country borders or physically located outside of the United States. The ASMEC must pass the same rigorous exam as members located in the United States. The title of the certification, however, better describes how "small businesses" are referred to outside of the U.S. Just as cultural differences exist across country borders, so do descriptions of how businesses are generally referred to...small business or SME...one and the same.
While the AASBC name utilizes the words "small business" in its title, the association with its uniqueness and training encompasses far more than just "small business." The certifications of Accredited SME Consultant allows members working with international clients or located outside of the U.S. to show the world that they are unique among consultants having a distinct designation from a globally recognized association.
Come be a part of our worldwide community!
Only global small business and SME consulting association.

Anglia Ruskin achieved university status in 1992, but originally began life as part of the Cambridge School of Art, which opened in 1858. The university has three campuses; one in the centre of Cambridge, another in Peterborough and the other in Chelmsford, Essex. It also delivers courses at a number of regional partner sites in Harlow and West Anglia.
Download the Anglia Ruskin University prospectus.
Anglia Ruskin has a number of international partners who run Anglia Ruskin accredited courses in countries from Botswana to Hungary, where students can undertake part of their studies. The institution also awards at least 50 PhDs every year.
Undergraduate degrees cost £9,000 per year to study at the university itself. For those being taught at the institution's associate colleges, the fees are £7,000 annually.
Cambridge is a city renowned worldwide for its educational history, ancient architecture and cultural appeal. Popular tourist attractions include the colleges of the university, the Backs, Botanic Gardens, the medieval cobbled streets and historic market square and, in more recent years, the annual Cambridge Beer Festival. Chelmsford also plays host to the hugely popular V Festival every August.
Anglia Ruskin has two campuses in Cambridge, and Chelmsford, Essex. Anglia Ruskin also delivers courses at a number of regional partner sites: University Centre Harlow, University Centre Peterborough and University Centre West Anglia. The Faculty of Health & Social Care has sites at Fulbourn on the outskirts of Cambridge and in Peterborough.
Over £80m has been invested in the university during the last five years, including a state of the art Postgraduate Medical Institute at the Chelmsford campus. Angela Ruskin has assisted over 2,000 businesses to grow and perform better, and has invested £122 million in new facilities.
The Cambridge campus has two on-campus halls of residence and five off-campus accommodation options, while Chelmsford has an on-campus student village comprising of 510 rooms in shared flats. Accommodation for 2016-17 is in the region of £114.52 to £122.22 per week.
The ICENI Centre, in partnership with Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust, completed in 2011 helps to address the huge shortage of laparoscopic surgeons in the UK and abroad. Both campuses have 24 hour libraries.
The Cambridge campus has also been expanded and re-vamped to create a totally new student experience, completed in 2011. An inspiring, flexible, yet sustainable environment, this state-of-the-art development will include a fantastic library, new lecture theatres, modern teaching facilities, a new business school and comfortable meeting places.
Anglia Ruskin has a strong sporting culture. Anglia Ruskin has been nominated in the Excellence in Student Sport Experience category of the Colleges and Universities Business Officers (CUBO) awards.
• Research into the black squirrel population has been played a pivotal role in finding out why the grey squirrel is a successful invader in the UK. The research project gathers data on the geographical range of the grey and black squirrel in the British Isles, and looks at the impact on squirrel populations.
• Vision and Eye Research Unit (VERU), which identified a need for refractive services in Bangladesh and Pakistan and lead to the first national comprehensive eye care plan to be rolled out in Bangladesh and Pakistan.
• Pedestrians account for 20 percent of all traffic fatalities in Europe and 14 percent in the United States - with the majority being caused by head impacts. Statistically 65 percent of pedestrians impacting or rolling on the bonnet of car that is going above 40mph are killed or suffer from serious injury. Now a 'pedestrian-friendly' car bonnet has been designed by Cellbond's Dr Mehrdad Asadi in research collaboration with Anglia Ruskin University's Engineering Simulation Analysis and Tribology (EAST) Group. The 'pedestrian-friendly' car bonnet design makes use of an aluminium mechanical energy absorber. Its works via a sheet of metal that is etched into a grid format so that, upon impact, it collapses inwards - absorbing the impact energy with less resultant reaction forces which causes the impact injury.
• Forensic scientists at Anglia Ruskin University have revealed a novel tool that could be used to help catch arsonists – cat litter. The research, carried out by Dr Sarah Hall, Dr Lata Gautam, Vicky Bacchus and Garry White, has shown that cat litter is the best material to detect traces of petrol on hard surfaces such as concrete, and this could prove invaluable to Crime Scene Investigators (CSIs) across the country.
• Anglia Ruskin has also done a great deal of research into cyberbullying and bullying to and from school. The two-year study, investigating bullying to and from school collected information from over 4,000 school pupils aged 12-16 in eight European countries, and discovered that 31 percent of pupils in England were worried about being the victim of bullying or crime, compared to 19 percent across Europe as a whole.
• Almost one in five young people in the UK have been the victim of cyber-bullying, according to research carried out by Anglia Ruskin academics. The study, commissioned by leading children's charity the National Children's Bureau on behalf of its Wellcome Trustfunded PEAR young people's group, examined the scale of cyber-bullying and the negative effect it has on young people's mental health. Steven Walker, principle lecturer in Child & Adolescent Mental Health at Anglia Ruskin, led the research amongst young people aged 10-19 and discovered that cyber-bullying was far more prevalent amongst girls. Amongst the young people surveyed, 18.4 percent admitted to being a victim of cyber-bullying and 69 percent of those bullied were girls.
Anglia Ruskin continues to enjoy substantial links with a wide range of employers in the provision of degree level training, professional courses, and short courses. Such provision is delivered by a range of means that ensure the university meets the particular needs of the learner wherever possible. This means that, in addition to the wide range of courses that are delivered on campus, Anglia Ruskin offer programmes that are delivered at distance, or are taught on employer's premises, or at other locations to meet an identified need. This flexibility meets the needs of the high levels of part-time and mature students who comprise a large part of the very large student body and underlines the university's realistic and supportive approach to the needs of modern learners and their employers.
Anglia Ruskin has particular expertise in the accreditation of prior learning and experience (on the part of individual students) and also in the accreditation of existing training programmes being delivered by employers. By this means it delivers real and often unexpected value to employers and employees, whilst also creating an incentive for further valuable study.
The university's team of experienced Skills Development Consultants are available to explore with businesses the provision of higher level skills training for groups of employees, as a means of assisting businesses in the creation of 'home grown' talent to drive business improvement strategies.
Contract research, business and technical consultancy and the provision of specialist services continue to be a significant and growing element of the support delivered to industry and business; ARU has significant long-term research contracts and an interesting and ever-changing portfolio of short term activities addressing specific business needs. It also offers Professional Doctorates, a work-based qualification for practising professionals who wish to utilise their expertise and experience to carry out ground-breaking research in their field, thereby adding value to their organisation and enhancing their career prospects. ARU's established team of Business Development Consultants are available to provide advice, information and support for businesses who wish to explore the many ways in which it can be of assistance.
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, mentoring, and internships - the latter having been an area of particular focus and success in recent times - continue to be active and successful elements of ARU's interactions with industry and business. The university has a successful track record in helping industry prosper with our highly sort-after Knowledge Transfer programmes, and is determined to remain the lead provider of Knowledge Transfer projects in the East of England as well as one of the most successful providers in the UK. ARU is committed to matching academic resources to business solutions, and making a real difference to the success of local and regional businesses. The Anglia Ruskin Employment Bureau similarly delivers cost-effective access to the special talents that it has on offer.
ARU places emphasis on the availability of expert free of charge advice on all of the above, delivered by its teams of professional advisers. The university will guide businesses to the most suitable solution to meet a particular need or challenge and can often customise offerings to suit particular circumstances. This valuable service is available for both SMEs and corporate customers and ARU numbers, among many satisfied clients, such businesses as Barclays, Ford, Harrods, Specsavers, The RAF, and UPS.
The Employability Service also has a range of close links with industry and we are working in partnership with 'The Mentor Hive' to offer mentoring to all second year students studying at our university.
The extra advice and support of a mentor can help provide guidance to ARU students and improve employability skills in preparation for graduation.
The university runs an Employer Mentoring Scheme, where students are matched with a mentor from their chosen career field.

Bobbie Johnson is Anxy's editor-in-chief and editorial director and principal at Anagraph. He was previously head of editorial and curation at Medium, and the founding editor of Matter, the ASME-winning, Pulitzer-shortlisted, online magazine. Before that he was a reporter and editor at the Guardian.
It's not a coincidence that as media companies attempt to cut content into consumable clips of 30 seconds or less to placate our shortening attention spans that click and crawl through vortexes of web browsers and handheld supercomputers, our levels of anxiety, depression, and mental illness soar to all-time highs. In this wake, founder Indhira Rojas created Anxy, a return-to-print quarterly magazine that covers mental health issues from diverging angles while inherently forcing its readers to slow down, process, and pay attention.
Touted as a mental health publication not meant to "fix" or prescribe, founder Indhira was inspired to start the rag after experiencing the extreme burnout that comes when attempting to find a sense of self-worth and validation through overworking––an all too common story in America yet a psychological impulse that's infrequently discussed, as Anxy investigates in their second issue dealing with "workaholism" featuring contributors such as comedian Neal Brennen and photographer Talia Herman as they share their own experiences with mental states that drive them to overwork. Bobbie joined her after a similar experience, when running away from his emotions outweighed the good of avoiding them, and teamed up with Indhira to create what they hope will become a platform to expose, extricate and explore these experiences we all face but walk around with in our private mental worlds.
We spoke with Indhira and Bobbie to find out how creating Anxy was an act of self-care for them and to learn more about self-care's relationship to mental health.
Fraser Hammersly: What was the intention behind creating a print magazine in an industry that has mostly moved to digital?
Bobbie Johnson: Digital media's great, we've worked in it for years. But it is a constant, noisy bombardment of stuff that tends to operate in a vacuum—each story, each thought, each headline, lives and dies on its own. Anxy's meant to take things a little slower, be more considerate, distraction-free. That means it can offer you something that digital really struggles with; juxtaposing two articles against each other, having careful art direction that can change for each story. It's a quiet conversation about important things, not trying to shout above the noise in a crowded place.
FH: In Indhira's founding story, she talks about "failing at self-care" and going through two years of burnout and anxiety before realizing the emotional/cultural need for a magazine like Anxy. What constitutes "failing" at self-care?
Indira Rojas: Failing at self-care is neglecting yourself and your needs over others peoples' or other priorities, like work and external demands. It's self-abandonment. Many of us engage in it because it's what we know. Whether it is because we learned to pay attention to others at the expense of ourselves, to survive, or because we feel stuck and disconnected.
FH: For Bobbie, what have been the barriers to self-care as a male, and how do you think it differs from the female experience?
BJ: I don't know if the outcomes are really all that different between genders, but society certainly does have a lot of different expectations—and talking about mental health and emotion is definitely tough for men. Plus I'm British, and the stiff upper lip is a big part of how we're expected to behave. I don't think I'm particularly open or self-aware—I'm certainly no guru—and I don't often talk about self-care in those terms. I just try and concentrate on stability, consistency, and understanding where my emotions come from and giving myself space to see what's going on. Is that because I'm a man? If I was a woman, would this question feel less complicated? Maybe!
FH: How have your experiences as an editors for Anxy aided your own journeys towards healing and self-growth?
BJ: At its root, all of this comes from our own experience—and producing a publication that asks us to look at ourselves, or to find experiences we can identify with, is huge. Working to understand a subject in each issue teaches us so much about ourselves, I think we've all grown tremendously since starting the magazine. I'm a better person, although I've still got a lot of work to do every single day.
FH: What does self-care look like as someone who runs a publication on mental health?
BJ: The irony that our current issue is about workaholism isn't lost on us. We have to be careful about what fires we ignite when we're talking to writers or artists or experts as we produce each issue. But we each have our own approaches for looking after ourselves.
FH: What is the relationship between self-care and mental health?
BJ: The way I look at it, self-care is a form of protection. If you recognize your own limits and boundaries, and work to protect them with rituals and habits, then you can spot problems before they flare up—you can avoid putting yourself in danger. But self-care isn't a remedy for illness; on its own it won't stop you from having problems. Some mental health issues are too big, or too deep, or just too far out of your control. But caring for yourself, and for others, is a basic level we can all strive for that can help make the other stuff a little less difficult.
FH: Do you perceive any stigmas around self-care?
BJ: When the idea was first captured—by Audre Lorde, I think—it meant something very specific. Now I think the term has become pretty commercialized and something more like "treat yourself." Because of that, self-care has become more about consumption—which in turn generates a stigma that it's about selfishness. But it doesn't have to be that. There's actually a great conversation in our current issue about this, where we asked a group of activists to talk about their feelings on burnout, self-care, and mental health. Some people feel like "self-care" become totally meaningless and all about buying your way out of your feelings, but Erica Baker of Project Include, who's a tireless advocate for inclusion in the tech industry, points out that who are we to judge what somebody else's self-care looks like? I think that's a healthy way to think about it, even if judgment is part of where the stigma comes from.
FH: In what ways do you think our culture is failing at self-care and mental health? And what ways do you see it succeeding/shifting in a positive way?
BJ: Questions about mental health look very different to different people. We mean "mental health" in a really broad way, not just anything on a clinical spectrum between mild depression, wild mania, and schizophrenia? We also mean stress, anger, panic, addiction. We also mean happiness, unhappiness, joy, excitement. But so often it comes down to the question of whether society is over-diagnosing mental health issues, or under-representing them. The reality is that it's not as simple as all that, and recognizing the complexity is part of how we get better together.
Just look around at all the things we're building around us that reward short-term attention and productivity at the cost of long term health. Look at our work cultures, our commuting habits, our financial systems. Look at our media consumption, our eating habits, our interactions with technology, with government, with other people. Look at Twitter, especially Twitter in the Age of Trump, it's become something very different, very imbalanced. There's no way to really deal with all this apart from on a fundamental level—but we can at least tackle the corners we're responsible for.
FH: What is something you consider to be "self-care" that might be surprising to someone?
BJ: For me, anything that allows me to simply be in the moment to switch off my brain and focus on just being right there—really helps me decompress and reach some sensible accord with my own feelings. Spending time with my kid, cooking, playing games… these are all hugely valuable to me. The most surprising one to other people, though, might be going to watch live sports. The absolute feeling of focus and the idea that we're only going to witness this event one time…it's liberating, and it clears my head so that I can deal with everything else.
FH: What are you most looking forward to for Anxy as a brand?
BJ: We're trying to build Anxy carefully and sustainably where we can. So we have thoughts about live events, meetups, and other sorts of publishing beyond the magazine. But honestly the most amazing thing we ever get is feedback from people who say what we're doing helped them—that they never realized that people felt the same way they did, or they suddenly understood something about themselves. I don't think there's anything better than doing that, again and again, however we manage it.

Eni and Snam to Build Italy's First Offshore Carbon-Storage Project
File image courtesy Eni
Eni is joining forces with energy infrastructure company Snam to build Italy's first offshore carbon storage project, Ravenna CCS.
The first phase of the Ravenna CCS project will capture 25,000 tons of carbon dioxide from Eni's Casalborsetti plant in Ravenna. The gas will be pumped by pipeline to the Porto Corsini Mare Ovest offshore platform, where it will be injected into a depleted gas field for permanent storage.
"Phase 1 of the Ravenna Project will allow to reduce emissions from the Casalborsetti power plant, launching in Italy a project based on a mature technological process," said Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi in a statement. "CCS is complementary to renewables, to energy efficiency solutions and to the other available levers, and is central to avoiding CO2 emissions from highly energy-intensive sectors."
Eni says that the project lays the groundwork for abating emissions from all kinds of shoreside sources, like steel mills, cement plants, ceramics and chemical industries. This would allow industrial operations to continue as before, using existing infrastructure without releasing CO2. Phase 2 of the project would expand storage capacity to four million tonnes of CO2 annually, about half of it from Eni's own operations in the region and the other half from other nearby industrial emitters.
"CCS projects are being developed globally and are already at an advanced stage both in Europe - especially in the UK, the Netherlands and the Nordic countries - and in the US. This joint venture sets the first initiative in Italy with the ambition to offer a solution to the entire hard-to-abate production cluster in the Po Valley," said Snam CEO Stefano Venier.
Eni is also an active participant in CCS projects in the UK, where it has joined the HyNet regional initiative to store carbon from a full range of industrial emitters in the country's northwest. Taken on its own, HyNet will satisfy the UK government's 2030 target to achieve 10 million tonnes per year of CO2 storage.
Eni has also submitted plans for capturing and storing carbon from heavy industry in the UK's southeast, using the storage capacity of the depleted Hewett offshore gas field. The development could store up to 330 million tonnes of CO2 if approved.

## Summary

Implementation of [node-roles](https://github.com/dresende/node-roles) through an APX intitializer. Provides `apx.roles`
which can be used to test permissions.

The initializer sets up configuration options to build the definitions used in the role object.
Also, [apx-helper-crud](https://github.com/snailjs/apx-helper-crud) implements the `roles` initializer if it is loaded
at startup.

## Configuration

  ]
}
```

### Profiles
* Variable `roles.profiles`
* Required `yes`
* Default `null`

Profiles are used to check roles against the currently logged in user. They are required and should list the available
roles to the profile these are called permissions.

module.exports = {
  apps: [
    {name: 'myapp', roles: ['find','list','save','remove']}
  ],
  profiles: [
    {name: 'manager', roles: ['myapp.find','myapp.list','myapp.save']},

NYC Nightclubs Accused Of Charging Patrons Hidden Fees
Apr. 1, 2013, 10:48 AM

The New York Post is reporting that some of Manhattan's most popular nightclubs — including SL, Finale, Lavo, and Avenue — have been overcharging guests with fees as high as 22 percent for "operations charges."
This is on top of a suggested 15 percent gratuity.
According to The Post:
The Meatpacking District bottle-service hot spot SL, run by the EMM Group, tacks a 3 percent operations fee onto the "suggested" 15 percent gratuity for alcoholic drinks that average $17 a pop, receipts show.
"SL applies a mandatory 3% operations charge to all bottle service at our venue. This charge is used to offset a variety of ever-changing costs that affect our particular business," reads a notice on the back of a receipt.
Another EMM club, Finale on the Bowery, adds operations fees of 5 percent for booze and 22 percent for bottle service, receipts show. Drinks there average $16 each.
The clubs are being investigated by the city's Department of Consumer Affairs, which says that even if the surcharge is listed on a menu or receipt, it is still illegal in NYC, a consumer affairs spokesperson told The Post.
Club owners counter that the fees are clearly presented and are used to cover expenses such as credit-card charges.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards have no plans to increase missile range: Tasnim
Reuters , Tuesday 19 Jun 2018
Iran's Rouhani says military approach will fail in Yemen: State TV
Israel says indicts ex-cabinet minister over alleged spying for Iran
Iran currently has no plans to increase the range of its missiles, the head of the Revolutionary Guards said on Tuesday, noting that the current 2,000 km missile range was enough to protect the Islamic Republic.
"We have the scientific ability to increase our missile range, but it is not our current policy since most of the enemies' strategic targets are already within this 2,000 km range. This range is enough to protect the Islamic Republic of Iran," Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari was quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency.
