As part of its graduate recruitment programme, Mishcon de Reya has today launched a new podcast series, Mishcon Shapers.
This year, Mishcon de Reya is recognising Carers' Week, an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. Mishcon de Reya has advised Minerva on the sale of The Walbrook Building to Taiwan based Cathay Life for a headline price of £575 million. The Walbrook Building is a high quality new office HQ building in the heart of the City comprising 410,000 sq ft of offices and 35,000 sq ft of retail and restaurant.
City landmark Walbrook Building, designed by Foster & Partners, was developed by Minerva. The Mishcon team was led by Corporate Partner Ross Bryson and Real Estate Partner Stephen Hughes, with assistance from Real Estate Legal Director Nick Harris, Real Estate Associates Matthew Bowles and Rebecca Taylor, and Planning Consultant Wesley Fongenie.
Having acted for the client on the £460 million sale of the St Botolph Building, we are delighted to have acted again for this longstanding client on the sale of another landmark city property.
Today sees the launch of The Leap 100, 100 of the most exciting, fast-growth companies in the UK brought together by Mishcon de Reya. Throughout 2015, the challenges, opportunities and successes of this group will be tracked via regular polls, and roundtables and panel events hosted by Mishcon de Reya.
The Leap events that we have already hosted provided an opportunity to learn from a variety of entrepreneurs who have successfully navigated a changing and turbulent business environment to achieve significant growth. Mishcon was also shortlisted for Law Firm Management Team of the Year and Best Knowledge Management strategy. Increased international geo-political uncertainties have prompted even greater numbers of global high net worth (HNW) individuals to seek a safe base outside their countries of origin not just for their funds, but also for their families.
In response to the rapid technological innovation and disruptive technology that now govern and continuously alter the business landscape, Mishcon de Reya has today launched a new service – Mishcon Tech. Traditional funding is becoming increasingly elusive to start-ups, and consequently a whole new era of lending is emerging; notably through venture capitalists, private equity houses, family offices and HNWIs.
Mishcon de Reya has advised Commercial Estates Group (CEG) on the sale of Hertsmere House, Canary Wharf to Chinese state-owned developer Greenland Group for circa £100 million. The site has planning permission for a 242 metre high residential tower (set to become the tallest in the UK) comprising up to 700 apartments, together with ancillary retail, leisure and commercial space.
Mishcon de Reya has been involved from the outset advising CEG on its acquisition of Hertsmere House in 2005 and assisting throughout on development matters as well as rights to light issues. Head of Real Estate Nick Doffman led the Mishcon team with assistance from Nick Harris (Associate) and Nicholas Kirby (Solicitor). Mishcon de Reya is proud to announce that two of its solicitors have been included in influential private client outlet eprivateclient's 2014 Top 35 Under 35 list - the definitive annual list of young private client practitioners. APSCo is a trade association dedicated to representing the interests of the UK Professional Staffing industry. Mishcon's Recruitment Services Group acts for numerous high-profile recruitment clients on the most important matters that they face in their businesses. Adam Rose has been appointed head of international development at Mishcon de Reya, and several partners have been appointed international leaders of different regions, as Mishcon clarifies and restates its international strategy.
Each lead partner will be in charge of a small team tasked with developing business plans for their region. Sir Keir Starmer KCB, QC and Alison Levitt QC of Mishcon de Reya are among the headline speakers at the fourth annual Fraud Conference being held by the UK Chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. Sir Keir, the immediate past Director of Public Prosecutions, joined Mishcon de Reya in July 2014 as a consultant to its Business Crime Group, headed by his former colleague Alison. Delegates at the conference will qualify for a certified 10 CPD points, and can also attend a complimentary post-conference networking drinks reception. The ACFE is the world's largest anti-fraud organisation and premier provider of anti-fraud training and education.
Mishcon de Reya has launched a Designer Mentoring Programme with the British Fashion Council. Each designer will receive a number of hours of pro bono legal advice and will participate in a series of bespoke workshops focusing on key legal issues including brand protection, international expansion, raising finance and early stage investment, employment, reputation management and retail development.
The programme forms part of Mishcon's social impact strategy, with time spent with the designers contributing towards the pro bono targets that the Firm encourages every lawyer to deliver annually. The 10 designers selected for the 2014 year include: Christopher Raeburn, Christopher Shannon, Eudon Choi, J. Caroline Rush, CEO at the British Fashion Council, commented: Business support plays an increasingly important role, especially for emerging fashion designers, so we are delighted that Mischcon de Reya has created the Designer Mentoring Programme.
Leading law firm Mishcon de Reya is to take on two legal apprentices for its London office. Mishcon de Reya was the highest ranking law firm in the Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work for 2014. The recruitment of the two apprentices will be a pilot, which, if successful, may be extended across all departments. We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals who will be receiving their A-Level results this week, and who may view this opportunity as an alternative to university".
Mishcon de Reya is proud to support The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) Financial Statement Fraud Conference, taking place in London on 18 and 19 August, and is marking the event by hosting a drinks reception on the 18 August. Financial statement fraud has received much attention over recent years and continues to be area of concern for many. Mishcon de Reya will celebrate its on-going relationship with the ACFE at the drinks reception on 18 August, hosted by Gary Miller, Partner in Mishcon's Litigation department and Director of the UK Chapter of the ACFE. The conference will take place at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel in Kensington and tickets are available here. On 16 July, as part of The Big Think on the Future of London, the ongoing dialogue developed by Central and Mishcon de Reya on the changing face of London, we co-hosted a dinner debate with Central and the GLA on its long-term infrastructure investment plan (London Infrastructure Plan 2050).
Located on Great Tower Street, Plantation Place South has been on the market since November and is fully let to six global tenants including Axis Speciality Europe, Royal & Sun Alliance, Beazley, and Liberty Syndicate Management.
Mishcon de Reya has advised Essential Living on its purchase of the former Elizabeth Arden perfume factory in Acton for around £30 million. Acquired from Sapcote Developments, the site is set to become London's largest scheme tailor-made for the private-rented sector (PRS) with 400 to 500 rented homes.
Essential Living intends to initiate a public consultation on its proposals for the site with a view to submitting a planning application to Ealing Council in 2015. Real Estate partner Nick Minkoff led the Mishcon team with assistance from solicitors Olivia Glekin, Rebecca Taylor and Roopa Modi, while Wesley Fongenie (Consultant, joint Head of Planning) advised on planning with Jonathan Legg (Partner) and Sarah Howes (Solicitor) advising on tax.
Mishcon de Reya has launched a new Luxury Assets Group, which combines a number of the firm's contentious and non-contentious practice areas.
Mishcon's Luxury Assets Group provides specialist contentious and non-contentious legal advice on a wide range of luxury assets such as classic cars, collectables, horses, jewellery, musical instruments, vintage haute-couture fashion and wine, as well as other non-financial investments.
Mishcon de Reya has announced that it acted for Mariana Capital Markets LLP as it is today revealed that the financial services business has entered into a strategic co-operation arrangement with Arbuthnot Latham & Co. Arbuthnot Latham established the GFS business five years ago and it is now recognised as a provider of quality products in the structured products market. Mishcon de Reya has been working with the founders of Mariana Capital since 2010 on its conversion to an LLP, and has worked alongside them as they have grown the company to the 80 strong team it is today. The Mishcon team comprised Ben Annable (Corporate Lawyer), Charles Fox and Tim Flood (Regulatory Lawyers), Adam Rose (Commercial Partner) and Jennifer Millins (Employment Legal Director).
In the High Court today, Paul Fleury, former project manager for Petra Stunt (née Ecclestone), was jailed for nine months (three sentences of three months each and one of nine months, to run concurrently) by Mr. Mishcon de Reya has announced that it acted for Matchroom Sport in the sale of 90% of its shares in Leyton Orient Football Club to Leyton Orient Holdings Limited, a company owned by the Italian Becchetti family.
This is the second high-profile football club deal for Mishcon this year, having recently completed the purchase of a 75% stake in Leeds United on behalf of Eleonora Sport Limited, owned by Massimo Cellino. The Mishcon team comprised Dean Poster, Liz Ellen (specialist sports lawyer) and Christina McNally (corporate associate). The new CGT charge on non-residents would apply to all UK residential properties of any value, whether occupied or rented out, owned by individuals, partnerships, trusts or companies.
In a campaign inspired by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, this month, children across 22,000 primary schools in the UK were asked to create their own Cultural Rights Charter.
Students from low-income families who take part in arts activities at school are three times more likely to get a degree.
The employability of students who study arts subjects is higher and they are more likely to stay in employment. Students who engage in the arts at school are twice as likely to volunteer and are 20% more likely to vote as young adults. The English Baccalaureate is still being used by the government to measure school performance and is having a profound effect on the number of children studying the arts. Since the EBacc was introduced in 2010 the number of arts GCSEs studied by children has fallen by 14%. Mishcon de Reya last night hosted a panel discussion in partnership with Beyond Sport, tackling the issue of diversity in sport, and exploring how talent can be unlocked when an inclusive approach is taken. The thought-provoking discussion addressed issues such as the need for leaders to step up and put diversity at the top of their agenda, positing that embracing diversity harnesses talent and threatens mediocrity. Sport was recognised as becoming increasingly like business, however it was noted that whilst businesses are light years ahead in terms of diversity and inclusion, they continue to sponsor teams that do not mirror their own approach.
Our next event, in conjunction with Beyond Sport, will focus on ethics and leadership and will take place towards the end of the year. The trio ended their talk with a Q&A session involving enthusiastic participation from the audience. Clearly it is high time that Parliament debates an issue which affects so many, so in that respect Baroness Deech should be applauded for introducing her private member's bill. Only 10% of SMEs surveyed say that access to finance from banks has improved in the last two years, with even fewer – just 8% - saying that the way banks treat the specific lending needs of SMEs has improved in the last year. As so many small and medium size businesses are continuing to find the lending landscape challenging, it is perhaps unsurprising that 67% of the SMEs surveyed that have a business bank account advised that they have not had a loan from their bank in the last year. Interestingly, a parallel survey of bankers showed a quite different perception, with 50% of bankers surveyed saying that they believe access to finance for SMEs has improved, whilst 38% said that the way banks treat the specific needs of SMEs has improved.
In spite of potential widespread dissatisfaction with the way SMEs are treated by their banks, over half of those surveyed (56%) have remained with their banks for over 5 years; suggesting an acceptance of the status quo regardless of how dissatisfactory it is. Mishcon de Reya has announced today that Sir Keir Starmer, KCB, QC, is to join the firm as a part-time consultant, as the firm continues to invest in its Dispute Resolution offering. Joining his former colleague, Alison Levitt QC, Keir will strengthen the recently launched Business Crime Group set up and headed by Alison. Over the past six years, Mishcon has continued to build a Dispute Resolution practice that is able to handle a wide range of services in the enforcement, defence and regulatory arenas in order to match clients' needs. Keir's main areas of practice are human rights, international law, judicial review and criminal law. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed the appeal of the Romanian football club FC Astra against the decision of the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber (FIFA DRC) of 10 December 2013 in Yvan Peron v FC Astra. Mishcon de Reya has announced that it acted for the founders of leading London property consultants, H2S0, in their sale to Colliers International, the global real estate company. At Colliers, Olney and Hayes will be co-heads of Central London Investment at Colliers, and Smith and Hanrahan, co-heads of Central London Agency & Development.
Paul Smith commented "Dean and Mishcon de Reya really understand fast growth business at a corporate and personal level.
The Mishcon team comprised Dean Poster, and Ben Annable (corporate legal director), James Paterson (corporate solicitor), James Spencer (corporate solicitor), John Skoulding (tax partner) and Philippa Dorries (trainee). The panellists shared their views on the growing threat of cybercrime, the best approach to tackling it, and the need to balance the opportunity that digital innovation presents for businesses with the inevitable risk that comes with it. The discussion was particularly topical in light of the eBay data theft news that has dominated the media this week. To find about more about the work of the IFG click here and to learn more Digital Security click here. Mishcon de Reya has successfully acted for Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Limited (MBFS) in a case which addresses the issue of whether a car leasing product constitutes the supply of goods or services, and the according VAT implications.
MBFS, represented by Mishcon de Reya, appealed to the Upper Tribunal on the basis that the contract was not necessarily a contract for sale of the vehicle and therefore should not come under a supply of goods.

You no longer are required to spend lots of money on TV advertising appealing to the masses to create opportunity for yourself. They will graduate with hands-on experience in business and a confidence in their own abilities to be successful. Elliot Moss, Director of Business Development and host of Jazz Shapers on Jazz FM, interviews some of the people shaping the firm about their experiences in the law. By recognising Carers' Week, we hope to raise awareness of those within our business who have caring responsibilities and provide advice and information on the support available both internally and externally. Its sale is one of the largest investment transactions in London this year, completed on Wednesday. Assistance was also provided by Corporate Associate Shantanu Sinha and Corporate Assistant Samantha Barnett. This data will be published and analysed on a monthly basis within the pages of City AM and will also feature on a bespoke microsite. The companies - which span many sectors - were chosen because of their growth potential, and for the broader business insight they will be able to provide over the year ahead. The formalisation of The Leap 100 is the next step of the campaign and we are particularly proud of the high calibre of businesses that form the list. A recent perception survey carried out by the FT found that awareness of Mishcon had more than doubled from the first audit in September 2010 to the latest (34% - 75%), with seven out of ten FT respondents now familiar with the Mishcon brand. This structure, along with the hard work of everyone in the team, has allowed us to make the impact we have, and we are incredibly proud that our efforts have been recognised by the industry. The UK, with its stable democracy, transparent legal and financial system, and some of the world's best educational facilities, is a destination of choice for these HNW individuals. Having advised HNW clients for many years, we at Mishcon de Reya have considerable experience in assisting clients to coordinate all the key elements, making such a significant move as painless as possible. This micro-site aims to provide a one stop service for HNW individuals migrating to the UK, giving access to information on legal, banking, property and lifestyle services to meet the personal and business needs of those looking to invest their wealth and experience by establishing a base in the UK.
The need for businesses and governments to embrace these changes securely and protect their data is more important than ever. Therefore, another component of Mishcon Connect is to connect clients to Mishcon's pool of contacts in the private capital arena. Philip Freedman CBE, QC (Hon) (Partner) advised on development, Wesley Fongenie (Consultant) advised on planning, and Emma Macintyre (Legal Director) and Jonathan Warren (Associate) advised on rights to light.
The results are based on nominations from the UK and UK offshore (Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Man) for young and upcoming stars within the private client advisory professions, be they lawyers, accountants, trustees or any other professional intermediary.
The APSCo brand is a recognised benchmark for quality in the professional recruitment marketplace, with applicants for membership rigorously referenced and required to adhere to a strict code of conduct, complimenting Mishcon de Reya's own commitment to quality and best practice. Gaining APSCo membership will enable the group to continue to develop its understanding of the interests, concerns and business intelligence influencing the recruitment industry today. Our joining illustrates the firm's recognition of the importance of fully aligning ourselves with the industries in which we work, and our dedication to best practice. All of our members have to commit to a strict Code of Conduct and a rigorous, independently verified, referencing process that means that APSCo is a trusted badge of quality for the recruitment industry. It goes without saying that our primary objective is to consistently deliver the best advice to our clients and to gain the trust of clients and lawyers from around the world. The conference takes place at the Victory Services Club's Carisbrooke Hall near Marble Arch on 1 October. The pair were the two most senior prosecutors at the Crown Prosecution Service and have worked closely together for the last five years. Together with more than 70,000 members, the ACFE is reducing business fraud world-wide and inspiring public confidence in the integrity and objectivity within the profession. Through the programme, the Firm will work with 10 carefully selected British fashion designers each year to assist in building their businesses. In partnering with the British Fashion Council, we hope to extend this value beyond the Firm, supporting some of the UK's most promising fashion designers while giving our lawyers the rare opportunity to work with these talented individuals.
The firm sees the apprenticeship initiative as an opportunity to increase the diversity of its future pool of lawyers. The conference will offer important insight to those who regularly review financial statements, such as auditors - both internal and independent. The 163,000 square foot office and retail property developed by British Land in 2004 was purchased from Credit Suisse's European open real estate fund CS Euroreal. The scheme is expected to include a mixture of rental homes for families and young professionals, as well as new public realm and the re-provision of multi-let office space.
There were lots of different aspects to consider and the advice from Mishcon de Reya proved invaluable in our negotiations and due diligence. It has been set up to help individuals, trustees, family offices or businesses acquiring or selling a luxury asset, structuring investments or protecting their interests. Mariana Capital is a diversified financial services business and also an established provider of structured products. Freezing Orders are an essential part of the legal toolkit in these types of fraud cases and to have them flagrantly breached as they have been in this instance is unacceptable. This took the form of a poster, film or a piece of creative writing, using articles in the manner of the UN Convention to highlight the many ways they get involved in the arts and why they believe cultural rights are important. Yet in the UK children and young people's cultural rights are increasingly compromised by pressures on the curriculum that disincentivise arts in schools for a focus on a limited number of subjects. It was suggested that this in itself may be the reason that some are reticent to adopt a proactive diversity agenda in the first place.
They were joined on the panel by Nicola Boulton, experienced fraud lawyer and Senior Partner at Byrne & Partners.
Mr Bott is one of the UK's leading practitioners in all subjects relating to criminal and civil fraud and has appeared in more than 80 serious fraud trials including many of the leading cases of recent years. Questions included: What could or should be done if the search uncovers evidence of criminality but the item is not relevant to the terms of the Order?
We believe that, in a democracy, changes to the basis of that regulation should be a matter for elected representatives.
72% of small and medium size businesses stated that they had not considered alternative sources of finance such as peer-to-peer lending, crowdsourcing or Private Equity in the past 12 months. Many stated that they were experiencing unlawful attempts to change their loan terms and that banks were refusing to negotiate. Various new sources of private capital have emerged as attractive alternatives to traditional banking solutions. The Group offers a comprehensive but streamlined approach for clients who may find themselves with a range of problems involving prosecuting authorities in this country and overseas authorities who seek to prosecute parties based in this jurisdiction. The French agent, represented by Mishcon de Reya, won his claim against FC Astra in relation to the signing of the player Tempo Fawo.
Corporate Partner, Dean Poster, who led the team at Mishcon, acted for Paul Smith, one of the founders, in his 2005 sale of Hodnett Martin Smith to DTZ. They reiterated that all companies should be prepared for a cyber-attack, as responding rapidly is key in the event of data theft, and agreed that business needed to join forces; through sharing knowledge, companies will be best equipped to deal with this threat. Si resides en un Estado Miembro de la UE aparte de Reino Unido, el IVA de importaciA?n de esta compra no es recuperable. The Marketing Motivators at Kmc Brand Innovation, LLCA have a few thoughts to share on the subject of innovation and its role in our business success.
So rather than focusing so intensely on driving up your share price or crushing the competition, why not focus some of your time, talent and energy on Helping Others be more successful. The campaign is brought to life by the individuals and organisations who come together to organise activities and events throughout the UK. Carers' Week is the ideal time to find out what practical support is available and, through our commitment to initiatives like this, I know we can continue to foster a carer-friendly working environment. Real estate Finance Partner Raji Bartlett and assistant solicitor Katie Lister advised on funding. The content that we generate through The Leap 100 will be invaluable in helping us to further deepen our understanding of high growth businesses. We are honoured to give a voice to these ambitious companies and provide them with a platform to comment on the most important issues facing the UK growth landscape.
Using our extensive network of legal, tax, real estate and educational connections we can help clients coordinate these processes seamlessly. By appointing leaders for each region, we can closely monitor the overseas service we are providing, the expansion of our client-base, and how we are delivering against our strategy'. The ACFE has over 150 Chapters worldwide; the UK Chapter with over 1200 members was established in 1993 and is managed by a Board of Volunteers on a not for profit basis, providing low cost events and conferences for both our members and the wider community of Fraud professionals. The co-operation arrangement stemmed from a decision by Mariana Capital to grow its structured products business - including employing several key senior GFS executives - and a decision by GFS to cease providing new structured products to the market. When you get an order freezing assets and for asset disclosure in a fraud case, you expect the defendant to comply. The festival will examine the current protection and promotion of all children and young people's rights in the UK. The charters will be combined and a giant Cultural Right's Charter will be displayed at the festival.
Meanwhile, vital funding is being withdrawn from arts and music initiatives across the country. All agreed that this passive attitude will not affect positive change, nor will it allow everyone the equal opportunity to reach their full potential. As well as playing host to a number of prominent organisations from within the UK, delegates at the conference included international representatives from a variety of jurisdictions including Switzerland, the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas, Australia and Liechtenstein. What considerations should be made for the respondent's family and possible young children during the search? These include debt funds, family office investments and other sources of private funding - often with more flexible investment criteria than the mainstream lenders.
The Group's work includes advice on defence strategies, applications for judicial review, investigations and bringing private prosecutions, where appropriate. He will be dual qualified to act as both a QC and a solicitor and will maintain his practice at Doughty St. CAS dismissed the appeal and confirmed the decision issued by the FIFA DRC, which recognised the validity of the agreement signed between the parties. Nilo also advises clubs, agents and players on national and international transfers as well as handling contractual matters for clubs, agents and players.
In late 2009, Poster negotiated Smith's departure from DTZ, and with three other leading agents, David Hanrahan of King Sturge, John Olney of Lewis Ellis, and Rob Hayes of CBRE, assisted them on founding H2SO.
With the help of the Internet, we now have an accelerated word-of-mouth marketing vehicle within our grasp. Your customers care about more than just the features, benefits and price point that you offer them. Factors considered include who made the nomination, an individual's achievements and number of nominations. This endangers the vital role that arts and culture play in children and young people's development. Keir will focus on cases which cover fraud here or, those facing accusations across multiple jurisdictions. In that time, H2SO has established itself as a top West End agent and has handled many of the London's major investment and agency transactions. Keir's understanding and experience of civil, criminal and regulatory matters as well as his knowledge of how other governments attempt to exercise long arm jurisdiction will be a great asset to the Business Crime Group. The position is two and half days per week, allowing Keir to pursue his political and other interests outside of the law. The case studies in the attached white paper are PROOF thatA positive results can be achieved by employing of the principles of Grassroots Innovation.

Hollyhock Project
Let's revive hollyhock flowers to their former abundance.
The hollyhock flower is called aoi in Japanese, but its significance comes from its old name afuhi, which is said to be filled with hi — a word expressing deity and life force.
The hollyhock is the symbol of a hopeful heart that is praying for abundance to the country.
Since long ago, the flower has been thought of as a holy plant and treated with great care. They used to grow abundant at the Kamigamo Shrine in Kyoto.
About 10,000 hollyhock leafs are used every year as decoration for the Aoi Matsuri (or "Hollyhock Festival"), which is one of the big three festivals in Kyoto.
However, due to environmental changes the flower has started to vanish, and now it only grows scarcely in remote mountains.
In 2007 we found out about the Hollyhock Project. Its aim is to revive the flower to its former abundance. We joined the project and have ever since been growing hollyhocks together with local people in Kyoto and educational institutions such as elementary schools.
There is a second purpose to the project as well. Through growing hollyhocks, we cultivate our own hearts to be sympathetic towards nature and create human connections.
We, at WAKASA SEIKATSU, grow hollyhock seedlings to be used in the Aoi Matsuri festival. We also actively participate in events for creating flower ornaments and doing other things in preparation for the festival.
We received an official thank-you letter for our efforts in 2015. Our work still continues, and the Hollyhock Project is a way for us to meet many people and tell the next generation about nature, culture, and tradition.

Bahria Town Karachi is a stellar addition to the chain of Bahria Town Projects already operating successfully in Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Lahore. This mega housing scheme was launched on 26th of January 2014 and received an immense response from general public as well as investors across the country as well as overseas Pakistanis.
Bahria Town Karachi has been a long awaited project due to the vacuum of a well planned housing scheme in the largest city of Pakistan. Karachi doesn't have any society that matches with the international standards of infrastructure and living. Even DHA Karachi is not a well-planned Society, however it is considered to be the dwelling of the upper class of Karachi. DHA doesn't have parks, play areas, planned commercial areas, underground electricity, well-built roads and infrastructure and quality of construction. However, it does maintain cleanliness and security better than the rest of the city.
Bahria Town, a rival of DHA, has approached Karachi with a master planned mega housing scheme which promises the international standards of infrastructure with state-of-the-art amenities to the residents and hence it becomes the most appealing choice for all Karachiites where they can live in a calm and peaceful environment while enjoying the luxuries of life. Bahria Town mainly targets the middle class of Pakistan, therefore the number of application pouring in from all corners of Pakistan for the booking of plots, homes and apartments are innumerable.
Bahria Town Karachi is located on Super Highway at around 9KM from Toll Plaza. The location is suitable for a mega housing scheme due to vast expanse of land required for the project.
Bahria Town Karachi consists of Residential and Commercial Plots, Bahria Homes and Bahria Apartments. Some projects were launched initially at lower prices with quite flexible installment plan and some were launched later on at high prices with the commitment to handover early possessions like Ali block, Bahria Heights, Midway Commercial, Jinnah Avenue Commercial, Quaid Villas and Golf City.
It offers residential plots of 125 Sq. Yards, 250 Sq. Yards, 500 Sq. Yards, 1000 Sq. Yards and 2000 Sq. Yards. Ali block consists of 5 marla residential plots and Golf City consists of 500 Sq. Yards, 1000 Sq. Yards and 200 Sq. Yards residential plots meant for the budding Golf-Loving Community across the country as well as Overseas Pakistanis. Overseas block precinct 1 consists of 10 marla residential plots which has been developed and possessions have been announced in record time of 8 months.
It offers commercial plots of 125 Sq. Yards, 200 Sq. Yards, and 250 Sq. Yards. Midway Commercial consists of 125 Sq. Yards commercial plots. Balloting of midway commercial is already done and plot numbers have been assigned. Possessions have also been handed over in Midway Commercial in record time of 8 months. Jinnah Avenue Commercial has just launched which consists of 500 Sq. Yards developed Commercial Plots. These plots are ready for possession and construction.
It offers Bahria Homes of 125 Sq. Yards and 200 Sq. Yards. Bahria Homes are double storey houses suitable for small to medium families. Quaid block is located in Precinct 2 next to Overseas block near the entrance of Bahria Town Karachi. It consists of 200 Sq. Yards bahria homes which are under construction and possessions are expected within 2 years. A model house in Quaid Block is ready and furnished for the visitors to behold the accomplishments of Bahria Town.
It offers 2 Bed, 3 Bed and 4 Bed Apartments at various precincts of Bahria Town Karachi. These apartments are under construction at rapid pace. Bahria Heights was launched in December 2015 which consists of 2 bedroom apartments. Possession of these apartments will be handed over in 2 years time.
Bahria Town is a pioneer in Pakistan to provide world class facilities to its residents. It provides not only the basic infrastructures but all some advanced features including own power generation, proper maintenance and security systems, provision of facilities for leisure activities and beautification of the society by constructing captivating monuments across all corners.

Bradford City expands its pop up retail offering
Categories: Home News, Industry News, News, Press Releases
Bradford City Football Club has strengthened its retail offering with the addition of two merchandise display units from Rapid Retail.
The mobile, fully branded units made their debut appearance at The Broadway Shopping Centre in Bradford. They were used to create a pop up 'City Shop', giving visitors the chance to see, try and buy club merchandise. The retail zone also played host to some of the club's top players, who dropped by to meet, greet and sign merchandise for fans.
Moving forward, the units will take pride of place at Bradford City FC's Valley Parade stadium, providing supporters with easy access to club merchandise, while helping to reduce queuing and maximising revenue for the club.
Dale Whiting, Retail & Ticketing Manager, Bradford City FC, commented:
The new units from Rapid Retail Ltd are awesome, and the service we have received has been to the highest standard.
Constructed from steel, the wardrobe-style display units are robust yet lightweight. They feature lockable, fold-out front doors and are fitted with castors, meaning they can easily be moved. Popular with football clubs of all sizes, the display units are a low cost and space-saving solution that can be designed, built and installed in just 2-3 weeks.
The units – currently sited in a pop up shop at the city's Broadway Shopping Centre – will soon take pride of place at Bradford City FC's Valley Parade stadium. Some of the club's top players dropped by the pop up to meet, greet and sign merchandise for fans
Nick Daffern, Managing Director of Rapid Retail, said:
It was our pleasure to support Bradford City with their new retail area. The units look fantastic and the feedback we have received has been very positive.
The Bantams are in good company, with clubs including AFC Bournemouth, Portsmouth and St Johnstone all ordering these units in the past month, and Valencia CF and Chelsea amongst those who already use them.
Daffern added:
The beauty of this type of display unit is that they are visually very striking and thanks to their lightweight steel frame, are easily moveable. That is important, as we know some clubs like to 'chase the sale' by moving the units to where the largest crowds are.
Rapid Retail, based in Worcestershire, has been supplying pop up shop, kiosks and merchandise display units to customers across the UK and Europe, for more than a decade. Units are available to either rent or buy. Clients range from non-league sports clubs to world-famous stadiums, brands and retailers. The team also supports clubs with the creation of dedicated 'fan zones', which are growing in popularity, as a way to add value, drive fan engagement and aid the fan experience.

The Establishment of a Covenant People The Promises of God (The Life of Abraham) (1): The Call of God
Dr. Ligon Duncan | January 3, 1999
The Promises of God (The Life of Abraham) — 1. The Call of Go
If you would look with me at God's word in Genesis, chapter 12. We're going to attend tonight to verses 1 through 9. We, of course, are beginning the life of Abraham at this juncture. We have seen the preface to this great book set forth in the first eleven chapters, and specifically from chapter 11, verse 27, which begins the book of Terah of which this part of the book of Genesis is a constituent. The book of Terah beginning in Genesis, chapter 11, verse 27, begins to tell us the main characters in the story of Abraham. And the passage we're going to study tonight is going to continue to fill out for us. It's almost like a listing of the great characters in a Shakespearean play written on the front page of one of those Riverside Editions of the works of Shakespeare so that you know who is who and what roles they are going to play in this great drama of redemption. And we continue to see that in the passage before us, but we also see the very heart of the covenant promises give to Abraham. Lawrence Richards says this: "Abraham stands as the greatest figure to be found in the ancient world. Three world religions, Islam, Judaism and Christianity, revere him as the father of their faiths. But what makes Abraham important to the Bible student is not the reverence in which he is held. It is not even the belief that the The National Geographic once expressed that 'Abraham, the patriarch, conceived of a great and simple idea, the idea of a single Almighty God. (You'll find that in National Geographic in December of 1966, page 740, if you're looking.) Abraham's importance is not even found in the fact that he is today a prime model of saving faith. No, the importance of Abraham in Genesis is that through Abraham God reveals His purpose and goal for the universe. In promises to Abram, God revealed that he had a plan."
If the first chapters of Genesis show that this magnificent universe in which we are set as a very small part is, in fact, not an impersonal universe, but a personal universe created by a personal God who is in covenant relationship with us through Adam, then the story of Abraham which begins to be set forth here shows that that universe is not only personal, it is purposive in the sense of God working out the history of redemption for the sake of His people as we are drawn into fellowship with Him. So, let's turn our attention to God's word here in Genesis 12. This is the word of God:
Our Heavenly Father, we thank You for the truth of Your word. We acknowledge the power, the might of the promises contained in this passage as we begin to study. We pray, O Lord, that You would open our hearts, that we might attend to the details of the truth of Your word. But more than simply a study of this passage, we seek to yield our hearts to You, and so walk with the faith of Abraham in this world, trusting in the promises of the covenant of grace, trusting in the mediator of the covenant of grace. Help us then to see this truth with the eyes of the new covenant and with the hope of eternal glory set before us. We ask it in Jesus' name, Amen.
It has been well said that Genesis 12, verses 1 through 3 is the center point of the promises of the covenant of grace in the history of redemption. Everything before Genesis 12, 1 through 3, is leading up to it. Everything after Genesis 12, verses 1 through 3 in the Bible is fulfilling it. We have here an epitome of the promises of the covenant of grace. The covenant of grace will indeed be spelled out in greater detail, but the covenant of grace is set forth in seed form right here in these verses. The great theme of these chapters focusing on the life of Abraham will be the promised seed or posterity which is given to him by the Lord. And to the lesser extent the promised land to which the little group clings tenaciously and in the final chapter to which they look back on in certainty of return. There is much that we could study in this passage, and so let's focus ourselves on three or four things.
The first one is the covenant of grace itself. I'd like you to look at verses 1 through 3. Let's remember the chronology of this story. Abraham, we are told, was 75 years old when he entered Canaan. We are told that in verse 4. In Genesis, chapter 16, verse 15, we are told that he was 86 at the birth of Ishmael. In Genesis, chapter 17, verses 1 and 24 we surmise that he was 99 when the covenant sign of circumcision was given. And so, a year later in Genesis 21, verse 2, he was 100 when he his son Isaac was finally born. He was at least 115 and perhaps 125 when he was commanded by the Lord to take his son, his only son whom he loved, Isaac, and sacrifice him in the land of Moriah. He was 137 when Sara died. He was 140 when Isaac was married, and he was 175 when he died. This passage of Scripture, this section of Scripture which we are launching into a study of, covers certain events in the great long life of Abraham. Now of course by definition Moses has to be specific and episodic as he reveals this life. This was a very full life. And this is not really a biography of Abraham. Specific events are chosen under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit by Moses to set forth for us not only the promises of God, but to give us instruction for the living of our own lives. So as we look at this passage, we will have many things that pop into our minds that we might ask. But what about this? Well, what happened here? What about this, is there an answer to that? You're going to have to line up before the Lord in glory to come and ask Him those questions because Moses doesn't tell you all those answers. But he tells a glorious story of God's covenant promises. And I'd like to start off by looking at that covenant of grace which God has made with Abram.
Now let's remember a couple of things. First, God has already spoken to Abram, telling him to leave Ur of the Chaldees. When God's word comes to him here in Genesis 12, it comes to him in Haran. Now by the way, just to be confusing you will have noticed in this passage that in Genesis 11, verse 27 there is a brother of Abram, named Haran, and there is this city that they are now in Genesis named Haran. The two words are really not the same in Hebrew. They are unrelated. But one thing I do want to point out to you if you'll look at verse 26. Verse 26 of Genesis 11 tells us that Abram had two brothers, Nahor and Haran. Now Abram is listed first there and you might think that that meant that he was the first born. But apparently Abram was the youngest of those three brothers. And the reason he is listed first is not for the last time in the book of Genesis, God has chosen the younger to be the line of promise. And so once again we see here the election of grace where God takes initiative and reaches out and takes one that through the law of primogeniture one might not expect to be the line of blessing and makes him, in fact, his choice servant for the work of the Lord.
I. All our happiness is tied up and produced by God's covenant grace.
Now as we look at Genesis 12, verses 1 through 3, and God's promises and God's requirements in the covenant of grace. One thing comes through loud and clear, and that is that all of our happiness is tied up with and produced by God's covenant grace. So often in life Satan attempts to tempt us to believe that walking in the way of God spoils all our fun, and that fulfillment and satisfaction and contentment and life are found only when we deviate from the way of God. But it is crystal clear as you read these promises that happiness and contentment and satisfaction and fulfillment are by-products of dying to ourselves, trusting in Christ and resting in the promises that God has given in the covenant of grace. And that message is just as important for us today as it was to Abram.
Let's look at this passage very briefly. Here in Genesis 12, verses 1 through 3, I want you to see two things. First of all the commands of the covenant of grace, and second of all, the promises of the covenant of grace. We have already talked about covenants and especially in Genesis, chapter 2, where we see the outline of the covenant of works given, and in Genesis chapter 6 when we saw the covenant of Noah. But here in Genesis 12, we see a clearer presentation of God's redeeming covenant than we saw in the life of Noah. But here again we also see that important reality that the covenant is always mutual. There is no such thing as a covenant without mutuality. There may be promises that are made by God and established by God in a gracious covenant, but there is always mutual obligation in a covenant relationship. Remember we defined a covenant using Palmer Robertson's definition. It's a bond in blood, sovereignly administered. It is a relationship which is binding. It is a life or death relationship. It is one which comes with mutual blessings and mutual obligations. And so here in Genesis 12, verses 1 through 3, we see commands even in the covenant of grace. Now I've stressed this because sometimes people will single out the covenant that God makes here with Abram and say this covenant was unconditional, whereas other covenants in the book of Genesis were conditional. That is a false dichotomy, because there are requirements for Abram here in the covenant of grace. Look at the very first words. "Go forth from your country and from your relatives and from your father's house to the land which I will show you." Notice that the first words of the covenant of grace are commands, conditions, or perhaps better, requirements. God gives these requirements. And by the way, there is not only the requirement of verse one, but if you look further down there is another requirement. If you look at verse 2, the very last clause in verse 2 reads in most of our translations something like this. So you shall be a blessing. Now that looks like perhaps an indicative statement, or a statement of future reality. But, in fact, it is an imperative. There are two imperatives in this passage. Go forth and be a blessing. So those are the commands of the covenant of grace. Abram is told by God to go forth from his country, his relatives and from his father's house. And then he is told to be a blessing. Those are the two commands of the covenant of grace.
I want you to note two things about this. First of all we have been noticing, ever since Genesis 1, a gradual narrowing of God's focus in this great book of Genesis. Starting off with the great universe, zeroing in on the lines of the sons of Adam, zeroing in on the sons of the line of Noah, zeroing in on the sons of Shem, zeroing in on Terah, one of the lines of the sons of Shem, and now zeroing in on Abram. It's like a great funnel and now the focus has been drawn down to the very point of the funnel. But at the same time we have seen a separation going on in the first eleven chapters of Genesis.
And isn't it interesting that the covenant of grace begins with the call of God to Abram to separate himself. Now that call of separation does not mean that Abram is to take himself out of the world, to have no affiliation or association with anyone else in the world, to be utterly repulsed by the world, to hate the world, to not have anything to do with it. Oh, no, because what's the second part of this command? Be a blessing to the nations. So on the one hand he must separate, on the other hand he must be a blessing. Is that not what God calls us to? Is that not precisely what Jesus was telling us when He called us to be salt and light? We must be different from the world in order to be a blessing to the world. Abraham must be separate from the nations in order to be a blessing to the nations. And here God calls Abram to separate himself from his country, from his relations and from his father's house in order that he might be a blessing to all nations. There is so much truth packed into that command of the covenant of grace. Listen to what Derek Kidner says: "The history of redemption like that of creation begins with God speaking: this, in a nutshell, differentiates Abram's story from his father's." Remember, his father started out with him. Terah went as far as Haran, but Terah went no further, and Abram went on. Why? Terah had not been called by God. Abram had, and that makes all the difference in the world. God had spoken to Abram. That's why Abram went. Terah, in all likelihood, went because his son was going. He may have been aged and in need of his son's care. But at any rate, the difference between Terah and Abraham is in that call. Now Kidner goes on to say: "The call to forsake all and follow." Heard that before? Studying the gospel of Matthew for a long time. "The call to forsake all and follow finds its nearest parallels in the Gospels. And Abram's early history is partly that of his gradual disentanglement from country and kindred and father's house, a that is a process not completed until Genesis, chapter 13." Okay.
So we see here emerging a pattern where Abram is having to separate himself from the nations in order to be a blessing to the nations. And that's a message to us, too. As Christians we must distinctively see ourselves as different from the world. We must think differently from the world. We must have a different world view and outlook from the world. We must have a different set of priorities. We must have a different set of goals. Our agenda is different from the agenda of the world. But we do that not so we can stand over against the world and feel superior to the world. Or despise the world in the sense of not having any concern for the interests of men and women who are not part of the faith. We are distinctive in order that we can be a blessing. In other words, we must say no to the world in order that we can say yes to the world. We must be different from the world and say no, your way of thinking is wrong. Again, not so that we feel superior to the world, but so that we might be a blessing to the world. For our agenda is not something that we have cooked up. It's something that we have received from the call of God. It's His agenda, it's His priority, it's His goal, it's His world view, it's His focus and our desire is to see the world won to that. But we can't do that if we're like the world. And so all of us are called to separation from the world, and all of us are called to be blessings to the world. And isn't it interesting that Christians have a hard time keeping those two things together? They either do a real good job of separating themselves from the thought life of the world so much that they despise the world in an unbiblical sense of that phrase. Or they so long to draw the world to Christ, and they decide that the best way to do that is to become like the world that they lose their distinctive saltiness. But Jesus calls us to be salt and light. He calls us to be distinct from the world in order to be a blessing to the world. And that is the challenge of the Christian life. And we see it laid forth right here in the story of Abram.
Now we've see the two commands: Go forth from your country and separate and be a blessing. Now let's look at the promises of the covenant. There are many different ways that we could enumerate these promises. Many of them are legitimate. But let me just give you this particular enumeration of the promises. I find here at least six promises in Genesis, chapter 12, verses 1 through 7, zeroing in on verses 1 through 3 and then skipping down to verse 7. I find at least six promises here given in the covenant of grace to Abram. And these are expanded on in the rest of the story of Abram, in the rest of the story of Genesis, in the story of Exodus and throughout the Old Testament all the way up to the prophet Jeremiah in Jeremiah 31.
The first promise is, of course, the promise to make Abram a great nation. Abram's name, of course, meant exalted father. But this is a great irony because Moses has gone out of his way already to tell us that Abram's wife, Sarai, was barren. She had no child. You catch the redundancy? She was barren. She had no child. Well, of course, if she's barren, she had no child. The double emphasis there is emphatic. And God is saying, I will make you a great nation. We see there the promise of the seed for Abraham.
Then, I will bless you. The specifics of this blessing will be spelled out, but Abraham is to be the object of special saving favor from the Lord, and he is being singled out here as the line of promise. A line that we have already seen developing in Genesis 1 through 11.
Thirdly, God says, "I will make your name great." Now we have already commented on this, but let's look back just to remind ourselves. If you'll look back to Genesis, chapter 11, verse 4. Remember what the men of Babel said. Come, let us build for ourselves a city and a tower whose top will reach into heaven and let us make for ourselves a name. So the agenda of the people of the plain of Shinar was to make for themselves a name. And God brought them to nothing. God humbles the proud, but God exalts the humble. And so what does he say to Abram? I will make your name great.
The fourth promise. I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you, I will curse. This is not unlike the promise that God had made to Shem in the prophecy of Noah. And so we see a providential tear for Abraham and the promised line here. Those who bless Abram, they may expect to find blessing. Those who curse him, those who oppose him, God will bring to naught with his curse.
The fifth blessing we see here in Genesis 12, verses 1 through 3, is that in you all the families of the earth will be blessed. Here we see again the focus of the nations in the promises that God has made to Abram. Though this focus of the seed of Abraham's ministry to the nations will almost drop off the charts in the Old Testament in some senses, it is at the very heart of the covenant promises, and it is at the very heart of what the New Testament notices about the ministry of the Messiah and His disciples in the age in which we now live. Now the good news of God is to go to the nations as promised all those years ago by God to Abram himself. You will be a blessing to all the families of the earth.
And then finally, it is hinted at in verse 1, go forth from your country to the land that I will show you. The hint there is, of course, that God is going give Abram a land. But it is made explicit in verse 7, and this is the sixth promise that we see in the covenant of grace, to your descendants I will give this land. And so the promise of the land of Canaan is set forth here to Abram. And these are the six great promises of the covenant of grace which we will see explained and unfolded in the weeks to come.
II. The Covenant of Grace requires covenant loyalty
Now let me notice just two or three other things very quickly. If you will look at verses 4 and 5 you will see here this separation to which we have already alluded being worked out. The call of the covenant of grace is always a call to separation. When we're called by God in His covenant of grace to come after Him, it is a call to separation to put behind us our worldly agenda, our worldly world view, our worldly way of thinking and to adapt and to adopt what the Lord's plan is for us. A covenant of grace requires covenant loyalty which says, God is my first priority. God is the one who sets the agenda for my priorities and for my preferences, and God is the one who by His word determines my decisions. This kind of covenant loyalty is seen very clearly in the life of Abraham. Look at verse 4. "So Abram went forth as the Lord had spoken to him and Lot went with him." Let me just make a mention here. Abram, of course, is going forth from Haran at this point. They have already left Ur of the Chaldeans, they have made their way to Haran. Abram is responding in obedience to what God has called him to do. And now Abram leaves behind his father and his brother. Because while they are in Ur, Haran, his brother, dies. While they are in Haran, his father, Terah, dies. And so notice how God is bringing about the separation which he called Abram to. There seems to be no faulting Abram in the text. Abram is not aggressive in separating himself from his family. And so God begins to take his family out of the picture.
By the way, that's a hint at how God sometimes works in our own experiences when He calls us to obedience and we're sluggish in it. He speeds up the process through His direct divine providence. At any rate, Abram apparently takes Lot along as his potential heir because as we've already observed, Abram had no physical heir at this point. And so Lot, his nephew, is taken along for this purpose. But at this point it is Abram, Sarai, his wife, Lot, his nephew, and those that are now a part of the household of Abram. They've separated themselves now from his father's house. They've separated themselves from his father's country, and he's almost separated himself from all his relations. And so we see this process of separation unfolding.
III. The pilgrim declares the Lord's dominion in the shadow of idols.
If you look at verses 6 and 7, again, we will see a glorious passage in God's covenant of grace with Abram. By grace, in verses 6 and 7, this pilgrim, Abraham, a stranger in a strange land, declares the Lord's dominion in the shadow of idols. What in the world am I talking about? Look at this passage. "Abram passed through the land as far as the site of Shechem." Now the phrase "the site of Shechem" seems to indicate that there was a Canaanite shrine there. The place was a term that was often used to describe Canaanite shrines. Now God takes Abram right to Shechem, and they get there and we read this. Verse 7: "The Lord appeared to Abram and said 'To your descendants I will give this land.' And so he built an altar thee to the Lord who had appeared to him."
Now this is a tremendously important site in the history of redemption. You remember it was at Shechem that the people of God had to make the choice between the mountain of curse and the mountain of blessing, Ebal and Gerizim in Deuteronomy. It was at Shechem that Joshua gave his final address to the people of God. And it was at Shechem that Solomon's kingdom was divided. And here God brings Abram to Shechem in the very shadow of this Canaanite shrine, and what does God do? He gives his promise to give the land to Abram in the shadow of the Canaanite shrine, and Abram builds an altar there in the face of the pagan worldliness of his day. Abraham, the man of faith, sets up a place of worship to the one true God. A defiant declaration that God's dominion extends everywhere. He is the one true God.
IV. Responding to the Covenant of Grace means being a pilgrim.
Then, look again at verses 8 and 9 because we see here the pilgrimage of Abram. Responding to the covenant of grace always means being a stranger in a strange land. It always means being a pilgrim, and there's a hint at it here in verses 8 and 9. "Then he proceeded on from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord." Now we already remember that phrase "called upon the name of the Lord" from Genesis, chapter 4, verse 26. It's a very important term that refers to corporate worship. In Genesis 4, it was, of course, occurring in the line of promise. Corporate worship in the days of Seth. Here Abram is calling upon the Lord in the midst of this pagan land. But I want you to note two verbs that are mentioned here. Notice what Abram did in verse 8. He pitched his tent. But before he worships the Lord corporately, what does he do? He builds an altar. He pitches his tent, he builds an altar. Abram's own living quarters are impermanent. He lives like a Nomad. But he builds an altar to the Lord which will stand forth as a testimony to the permanence of the promises of God. We can see Abram's priority even there.
You know it was said that it was a custom of some of the early American colonial settlers, many of them are Scotch Presbyterian descent, to first build the house of worship in their little village, and then to set forth in building their individual homes. Abram pitches his tent, but he builds an altar to the Lord. You see to respond to the covenant of grace means to be a pilgrim, in a strange land. And Abram understood that for all his faults. And so over these next few weeks and these next few chapters, as we study Abraham, we're going to see the promises that God made to him about his seed, his posterity. We're going to see the promises that God made to him about the land, and we're going to see the promises that God made to him regarding the nations. We're going to see how those are fulfilled in our Lord Jesus Christ, the great Mediator of the new covenant. May the Lord bless His word. Let us pray.
Our Heavenly Father, we thank You for the thrilling truth of Your word, and we ask that by Your grace you would give us the hearts of pilgrims, that we would long for that city which has foundations, and that we would not be satisfied with the trifles and the temporalities of this world. For we ask these things in Jesus' name, Amen.

Largest Known Native American Rock Art Images Discovered in Alabama
Archaeologists in Alabama have discovered the longest known painting created by early Native Americans, according to a new study. Native Americans created this unprecedented 1,000-year-old image of a 10-foot-long (3-meter) rattlesnake, as well as other paintings, with mud on cave walls and ceiling, likely depicting spirits from the underworld, the researchers said.
The cave has hundreds of cave paintings and is considered the richest site for Native American rock art in the southeastern United States, the researchers said. To investigate its historical art, the team turned to photogrammetry, a technique that involves taking hundreds of digital images to build a virtual 3D model. Using this method, the researchers detected five previously unknown giant cave paintings, known as glyphs.
"This methodology allows us to create a virtual model of space that we can manipulate," study first author Jan Simek, Distinguished Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Tennessee, told Live Science. "In this particular case, the ceiling of the cave is very close to the ground. So your field of view is limited by your proximity to the ceiling. We never saw these very large images because we couldn't go back far enough to see them." them."
After creating the virtual model, "we could look at it from a broader perspective," he said. "It allows us to see things in a way that we can't see in person."

The record-setting glyph sports a diamond pattern, indicating that it may represent a diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox), a creature considered sacred by indigenous peoples of the American Southeast, the researchers said. These peoples built large earthen mounds, used for a variety of purposes, including rituals according to Smithsonian magazine, and to be closer to the spirits of the upper world, while caves were considered to be the opposite: routes to the underworld.
"These are special because until now, we haven't had big names from this area," Simek said. "And that changes our perspective on what might be in these caves." For example, there are similarly large rock art images made by indigenous peoples in the western USA, although these glyphs are not found in caves, he said. "It brings southeastern rock art into the discussion of other monumental images that we see in different parts of North America," Simek noted.
This cave was first discovered in 1998 and remains unnamed, nicknamed "19 unnamed caves" to protect the discoveries. The cave contains more than 5 kilometers (3 miles) of underground passages with most of the paintings discovered in one large chamber, according to a 1999 study published in the journal. southeastern archeology. By continuing to use photogrammetry techniques on Unnamed Cave 19 and others, the team hopes to further improve understanding of Native American art.
The study will be published online Wednesday (May 4) in the journal Antiquity.

It apparently is cooler than being seen with me. Who knew?
It just looks so exciting, and its playing at the drive in this weekend! Woohoo!

Today I presented on the Art of Business | Business of Art focusing on the "Pathway to Success: A Plan Worth Practicing" at the Bush Art Center located on the campus of St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wisconsin. As I do these presentations to Juniors and Seniors I often wonder what information will they take away from such topic focusing on life after college graduation.
A question was asked about the creating art for yourself versus creating art for others. I believe that all artists should create art for themselves. To be able to develop and carry forth a vision as to the type of work an artist produces is more meaningful to his/her own personal and professional growth than meeting the needs of the masses. The work that the artist puts out there should be work that he/she is proud of.

In some cases, devices may be used to perform message. Traction massage entails lying on your back on a special table with a pillow under your knees. The table has small rollers that glide up and down your spine. Traction massage helps stretch and massage the muscles in your back, and is not a form of spinal adjustment. In fact, traction massage may sometimes be used to make an adjustment go more smoothly.

Many people around the world find themselves struggling with debt on a daily basis. The recession has shed light on how poorly many people manage their finances. Debt, decreased savings and increased expenditures are some of the pitfalls that can seriously derail your finances. Avoiding these mistakes can make a huge difference in terms of financial security. It's true that, when it comes to money, we all make mistakes. Our personal finance lessons are often learned through experience. However, it is important to realize the mistake and prevent it from happening again. Here we have gathered 10 of the most common mistakes made in personal finances; avoiding these errors can help you build financial security.
This is the cornerstone of personal finance, regardless of your income or net worth. It doesn't matter how much you earn, but if you live within your means, you can save money in long term. It is simple math: income < expenses = debt, while income > expenses = surplus. Although buying a couple of things here and there might not seem to have much significance, it can make a huge impact over time. Frivolous expense such as ordering out for lunch or dinner or going to movies at peak time can add up and drain your bank account. Ideally, you should save and invest a percentage of each paycheck or income source you have.
One of the main reasons behind frivolous spending is not having set a budget. A monthly financial budget helps you calculate how much you are supposed to spend in the entire month. It is calculated by considering your total income, your fixed monthly expenses, debts and any other liabilities. Your monthly budget should also take into consideration the amount you should be saving for retirement or a rainy day. Once the monthly budget is set, you can spend accordingly.
Most young people think that retirement is simply too far away, so they can think of retirement savings later on. Actually, people grossly underestimate the true cost of retirement, and when and how much they should start saving.
Most of us often ignore our credit score. The credit score and credit report are essentially a record of how you have handled your finances over time. These two records actually determine whether or not you will be eligible for thousands in savings when you make bigger purchases. To improve your credit report and credit score, make sure you always pay your credit card bill on time, and dispute any mistakes on your report.
To put it simply, having debt stinks. If you owe money, then you are just reducing your cash flow to make the payments. Clear off your debts as early as possible to help increase your savings. If you do acquire new debt, do it cautiously and only after researching the best loan options.
For most of us, buying a home is our biggest investment. Many people end up investing all of their savings and other funds to buy a dream home that is way beyond their budget. Living your dreams is great, but jeopardizing your financial situation in the process is not smart. Big or expensive houses also come with unnecessary added expenses, such as higher utility bills, maintenance costs and taxes, beyond the initial house price.
Most of us spend our entire paycheck and wait impatiently for the next. Living life to the fullest has become the motto for many people, and this leads to spending everything they earn without thinking about the future. Dinners, movies and drinks have become essential aspects of our lives, and we forget how easily our financial situation can take a turn. This puts one in a horrible position of being without any money if a paycheck were to be missed.
Insurance is a crucial emergency fund that supplements your cash emergency fund. It covers the things you could not save up to cover in advance, thus helping protect your largest assets in case of a major accident, injury or death. You should have enough insurance to replace your assets in case of extreme need. This may include auto insurance, home insurance, health insurance, long-term disability insurance, life insurance and long-term care insurance. However, it is also important that you don't go overboard in buying insurance. Take a balanced view and only pay for what you truly need.
Car loan payments cause many people to find their heads 'under water' financially. We all know that a car is an asset whose value starts to go down the day it is purchased. Most people spend thousands of dollars on a new car only to find out that its value is seriously depreciated after a couple of years, while they are left having to make payments on the car loan. A car is a big investment, so spend judiciously on it. Buy a pre-owned model to minimize your loan payment and save enough for tough times.
High interest rates, huge expenses, lower income, more liabilities – at times all these factors can leave us confused. Despite trying hard, we are unable to come out of the vicious circle of debt. If you honestly need help with something – such as taxes, real estate investment or debt management – don't try to go it alone. It is wise to seek professional help if you really need it. This may make it much easier to analyze your situation and make the proper financial plans for the present and the future.

The California Corporate Disclosure Act was an act written by California Assemblyman Kevin Shelley and signed into law by California Governor Jerry Brown.  It became effective on 1 January 2003.  At the time the law went into effect, corporations doing business in California were required to submit certain disclosure statements.  The California Disclosure Act changed the substance and timing required to be filed with the California Secretary of State for all U.S. — as well as foreign — corporations that are either incorporated in California or that do business in California.
