Was one more nail in the mortgage industry's coffin hammered in on December 21, 2015?
We are not, and some could argue that we may never, be fully recovered from the huge mortgage fiasco of a few years ago. Although many people have different opinions on what caused the mortgage crisis, this former loan officer and current real estate agent attributes it to several reasons. The main issues I saw were: 1) Somewhere along the line, the government promoted the opinion that homeownership is a right as an occupant of the United States, rather than a privilege and conscious choice for a person who is financially ready for the investment and maintenance that owning a property entails. 2) The government went too far in its effort to "protect" the "underserved" groups of the population by actually monitoring and fining large and small banking institutions that simply didn't have their prescribed mix of borrowers in their portfolios. As a result, loans that shouldn't have been made to borrowers who weren't financially ready were pushed through to make sure the quota was covered. The sad part is, while these rules seem to care for the economic underdog, they actually hurt the people they profess to help, because those people simply aren't prepared for the $5,000 expense of replacing the AC unit, or the $10,000 roof repair. Also, just the mortgage payments themselves proved to be unaffordable for many. In spite of this disaster, the government is back at it!
A new Fannie Mae program called "HomeReady" took effect on 12/15/2015. It reduces the income requirements, down payment requirements, and mortgage insurance requirements below those of even a current day FHA loan. You remember the FHA loans, right? They took place of the previously labeled now taboo "subprime" loans. They have a lower credit score requirement, higher debts allowed, and looser credit report rules. They are also the loans that when their buyer loses the home it is taken over by HUD. Have you seen many HUD foreclosures? We all have. So, take those standards and dip them lower to get a larger group of unsuspecting, unprepared borrowers so we can make a bigger foreclosure market and a larger financial problem for the people that are already not making it by even today's standards.
- NONE of the down payment has to come from the actual borrower! They can use grant money, grants, gifts, and the never allowed before CASH ON HAND. The cash on hand is such a no-no in the industry that it has caused home purchases to be delayed and even get turned down because the borrower couldn't document where the cash came from. The reason that it is an issue is claimed to be that they need to be sure that the funds aren't from terrorist sources OR are not that of someone other than the borrower. Yet, here on the new loan, those issues don't seem to be a concern.
- REDUCED Mortgage Insurance coverage for loans that have less than 10% down payment! This is where you want more insurance coverage, as these buyers have less to lose if the 3% isn't even theirs!
- Homeowner Education Requirement: A mere 4-6 hours to learn everything you need to know to become a homeowner with an online test.
Click here to see a comparison chart showing how HomeReady stacks up to Conventional loans and the MyCommunityMortgage (which has quietly passed away).
Yes, it appears that it has a higher credit score requirement than you would expect, but there are efforts in motion to allow VantageScore to be used instead of the traditional FICO scores, which will allow rental payments and utilities as sources of credit history. This change some are saying would add 100 points to everyone's score or create credit history where there was none before. It's arguable whether or not these payment histories of non-traditional credit sources are indicative of a borrower's ability to pay a large regular payment like a house note. When you don't pay your cell or electricity, they turn off those services. When you don't pay your house note, it can take months or years to lose it to foreclosure, so the penalty of not paying is even less of an immediate concern.
What's even more interesting is that I am not hearing any chatter on the typical mortgage and housing channels on this supposedly sweeping edict of benevolence. There are a few small articles, but not nearly the amount of attention it should be getting. Lenders, please share what you know and let us know what you've heard!
Hopefully, individual lenders will not be eager to jump aboard the HomeReady bandwagon. However, if the government convinces them that they will (again) be bailed out when foreclosures happen, they may very well embrace this insanity. If this occurs, many knowledgeable people in the real estate and finance industries fear that another meltdown could occur that would be far worse than what we've already lived through.
One loan officer we've spoken with said that a lender in her portfolio with this program has added additional rules called "overlays" on top of the basic guidelines, but they don't have all of the details yet on exactly how it will work.
We are excited to help people buy their homes, and do it all the time. Yet, we feel it is irresponsible of the government to seduce buyers into an attractive, but potentially damaging financial situation which they may not be capable of sustaining. Furthermore, with these "low cost" loans being offered, the future of our industry and economy continue to be jeopardized without disclosing the true price tag to the public and unsuspecting buyers.

Cameron's plan for Silicon End at Olympic Park doomed
Why East London Can Never Be a Silicon Valley David Cameron's attempt to emulate silicon valley in London's Olympic Park will be a disaster, says Dominic Monkhouse, MD of PEER 1 Hosting.
Why East London Can Never Be a Silicon Valley
David Cameron's attempt to emulate silicon valley in London's Olympic Park will be a disaster, says Dominic Monkhouse, MD of Peer1 Hosting.
Unlike California, London's East End is not a magnet for creatives wanting to live the good life, said Monkhouse. "The thing about Los Angeles is it's a nice place to live. I don't think people will say that about a bunch of bleak industrial estates," he said.
If the climate wasn't enough of an advantage, California also has one of the world's greatest universities on its doorstep, Stanford. You can't become a hotbed of technical innovation without a great university as your foundation, said Monkhouse.
Silicon Fen has Cambridge University. Silicon Glen is fed by Glasgow and Edinburgh universities. "What has east London got? East London polytechnic? I don't think you're to attract the top talent there. Even if you did they're not going to meet anyone inspiring and they won't want to stay in the area afterwards," said Monkhouse.
"It's a total waste of money," he concluded.

Biodiversity Spotted Wobbegong Shark
So, you think you know sharks, do you? They're fast, agile, fish-eating, swimming machines, right? Think again. Let me introduce you to the spotted wobbegong shark (Orectolobus maculatus) and the rest of its wobbegong comrades. It'll turn everything you thought you knew about sharks on its head.
What do wobbegong sharks look like?
The first thing you'll notice about a wobbegong shark is that, well…it doesn't really look like a typical shark. In fact, it looks more like a poofy, shaggy rug than a streamlined shark—hence the other common name of this group of predators, "carpet sharks."
Wobbegongs lie still on the bottom of reefs and shallow waters, just like certain types of flat fish such as halibut and flounder. They have plenty of camouflage to help them out, too. They have a splotched, patterned back that blends in with the reef. They also have numerous shaggy, beard-like projections around their mouth, like the famous ghillie suits of military snipers. Finally, they have tiny vertical fins (dorsal and caudal fins) that help them keep a low profile.
The wobbegong also has a H-U-G-E head. It's actually wider across than it is long! Remember this wide head; it'll be an important factor later.
There are many species of wobbegong shark in addition to the spotted wobbegong. They generally look alike as well, and it can be difficult to tell them apart. In many cases, the location or the size of the shark is the determining factor in species identification.
This brings up an interesting question: if you have a small wobbegong, is it actually a smaller species, or just a juvenile version of a larger wobbegong? This question has baffled experts, but thanks to DNA sequencing and other new technologies, we now know that there are 11 other wobbegong species in addition to the spotted wobbegong:
Eucrossorhinus dasypogon – tasselled wobbegong
Orectolobus floridus – floral banded wobbegong
Orectolobus halei – gulf or banded wobbegong
Orectolobus hutchinsi – western wobbegong
Orectolobus japonicus – Japanese wobbegong
Orectolobus leptolineatus – Indonesian wobbegong
Orectolobus ornatus – ornate wobbegong
Orectolobus parvimaculatus – dwarf spotted wobbegong
Orectolobus reticulatus – network wobbegong
Orectolobus wardi – northern wobbegong
Sutorectus tentaculatus – cobbler wobbegong
Where do wobbegong sharks live?
While the name "wobbegong" might sound similar to Garrison Keillor's fictional Minnesota town of Lake Wobegon, the two couldn't be more different.
Wobbegongs (wah-buh-gongs) live in the Pacific and Indian oceans and have a very narrow range at that. The spotted wobbegong in particular is more common around Australian waters. Indonesian wobbegongs live in Indonesian waters, and Japanese wobbbegongs live in…you guessed it, Japanese waters.
Unlike a lot of other sharks that prefer cruising the open ocean, the wobbegong is more of a homebody. You might even call it a couch-potato shark. They usually pick a spot and plant themselves down, sometimes not moving for many hours at a time. In order to stay alive while stationary, they actually pump water over their gills with their cheek muscles to keep their blood oxygenated (since they aren't moving around like most sharks do).
Wobbegongs also prefer shallow water, and they love reefs with all their nooks and crannies to hide in and hunt. Speaking of hunting…
What do wobbegong sharks eat?
Remember those big mouths that I told you to remember? Those come into key play here because a wobbegong will basically eat anything and everything moving that will fit into its mouth—and sometimes even things that don't.
If they can't fit something inside of their mouths, they'll follow a trick similar to what wolves or bulldogs do. They'll clamp down on the prey and simply hold it there until it does from exhaustion or suffocation (or drowning, in this case).
This behavior sometimes gets them into trouble with people. Wobbegongs won't actively seek out people to hunt, but they're sharks, and sometimes they make mistakes. Maybe a tasty-looking fish fin swimming past happens to be attached to a human leg: an unfortunate mistake for both the shark and the human.
It can be difficult to get wobbegong sharks off of you if they do clamp down, but it can be done. In fact, of 32 recorded wobbegong attacks, none were fatal.
Most of the time wobbegongs are content with simply sitting in place and letting prey come to them, although sometimes they will also actively hunt and move around. This is where some of the wobbegong's special adaptations come into play. Their shaggy bearded projections will act like lures to draw in prey closer.
Once within reach, the wobbegongs suddenly take action. They'll snap open their jaws, creating a huge suction draw that'll suck in any nearby prey. It's quite impressive to see!
Are wobbegong sharks in trouble?
Sometimes it seems like most stories of shark conservation are like witnessing the dying throes of a species. Luckily, the wobbegong's story is a successful one that that we can learn from.
Wobbegongs have a good capacity to keep their population numbers up. They breed once every three years or so, and the viviparious (live-bearing) females can give birth to a staggering 21-37 pups per litter! (Just imagine if humans could do that…)
Wobbegongs don't have a lot of commercial value. While you can find wobbegong on the menu in some local Australian fish n' chip shops, they aren't as widely eaten as some other sharks like porbeagles and mako sharks.
Wobbegongs used to be fished with very little regulation in Australia. However, after a 2007 report showed that the wobbegong population was decreasing, the government clamped down. They tightened up regulations for the commercial and recreational fishing industries in 2008. Since then it appears that the wobbegong population has been increasing. As long as we keep an eye on these shark populations and react if they appear to be going downhill, this is one shark story that will have a happy ending.

So it's not hard to imagine why plus-sized women are often ignored, ridiculed, and/or fetishized on dating apps.Fortunately, sites seem to be trying to combat this problem.
"In terms of finding love, you think about romantic comedies and advertisements depicting romance, and it's almost always about a thin woman.We have this really narrow definition about who is valuable, and that rarely includes women at all, let alone women of color and women who are plus."When plus-size women are represented, they're not the main characters.Instead they're the funny friend, or the helper, and they rarely find themselves in the center of romantic plot points.This may sound like pure optics, but apparently it's working: "Since we launched the pledge, we've seen decreases in harassment, both from reports and our machine-learning technology that detects harassing language," says Melissa Hobley, the chief marketing officer of Ok Cupid."We know that women in particular are really frustrated at how dating apps are set up to be incredibly focused on appearance.

No Supreme Court Bench to decide important RTI issues even after 22 months
A division bench of the Supreme Court had decided in respect of three cases regarding the Right to Information (RTI) Act that these need to be decided by a Constitution Bench. This happened nearly two years back but the constitution bench is yet to see the light of the day. The issues which still remain in dark and have yet to even come up for hearing as no bench has yet been constituted.
The SC decision pertained to three cases
The applicant asked whether all the SC judges had filed their assets and liabilities to the Chief Justice of India or not. This lead to the question whether the office of the Chief Justice of India is a public authority under the RTI Act (the applicant had not sought the copies of the declarations, but only the information whether any such declarations were filed or not). The full bench of CIC decided in favour of disclosure on January 6, 2009 which was upheld by the three member bench of Delhi High Court on January 12, 2010;
An application filed under the RTI Act seeking copies of correspondence exchanged between concerned constitutional authorities with file notings relating to appointment of Justice H L Dattu, A K Ganguly and R M Lodha in the SC superseding seniority of Justice P Shah.
Another RTI application seeking copies of documents related to revelation by Justice R Raghupati of Madras HC about some Union minister having approached him in some matter pending before the hon'ble judge in his court is yet to be taken by the SC.
Another RTI application was filed to know about the proposed Constitution Bench. In June 2011, he was informed that when the matter was placed before Hon'ble Chief Justice of India on 8th December, 2010, he asked the Registrar to place the matter after holidays. When the matter was placed before Hon'ble Chief Justice of India on 21st January, 2011, the Hon'ble Chief Justice of India asked the Registrar to put the said matter later.

Austin says yes to 135,000 new housing units
Jun 18, '19 1:42 PM EST
Austin is poised to grow. Image courtesy of Wikimedia user LoneStarMike.
Austin is planning to grow significantly over the next few years. 60,000 new units are planned for the city, to be complete in the next few years, according to KVUE.
This month, the Austin City Council voted to support a new housing plan for the city that could bring up to 135,000 new residences to the Texas capital. According to the plan, up to 60,000 of those new homes will be administered as affordable housing units.
The new plan is focused on bringing housing costs down in the city, where experts have been sounding alarms for years over rampant income segregation.
According to the Austin Chronicle, the city's population has more than doubled since 1990, with a large percentage of the new arrivals enjoying a high degree of wealth. As a result, many low- and moderate-income Austinites have become rent-burdened. The problem matches that of many other American cities: Despite receiving an influx of new residents in recent years, housing production has lagged behind growth rates, fueling a housing affordability crisis.
In response, the city is moving to not only build lots of new housing, but aims to do so across the city, especially along transit corridors.
Austin City Councilmember Greg Casar told KVUE, "We're becoming more and more economically segregated. By at least one researcher's account, we're one of the most, if not the most, economically segregated city in the country." Casar added, "So if we want to get ourselves off of that list, and sort of live up to who I think it is that we want to be—which is an integrated, affordable city that still has great job opportunities for people—we can't ignore housing and planning in our city."
The plan is due to go into effect over the next eight years.

{{/if}} Redesigned SM compressor range - KAESER COMPRESSORS New Zealand
Redesigned SM compressor range - KAESER COMPRESSORS New Zealand
The redesigned SM compressor range from Kaeser Compressors
Kaeser's latest generation of the highly successful SM rotary screw compressor range looks set to continue the legacy of its predecessors with enhanced performance and exceptional efficiency.
The new generation of Kaeser's SM rotary screw compressor series combines ultra-quiet performance with exceptional power and efficiency for air deliveries from 0.9 to 1.5 m³/min. Models are also available with an integrated refrigeration dryer, variable speed control and an air receiver ("Aircenter").
The previous SM series provided efficient compressed air production for smaller air deliveries up to 1.15 m³/min. As with the preceding models, the new range of SM rotary screw compressors has been able to benefit from many of the latest advances introduced in Kaeser Compressors' larger compressor packages. In redesigning the SM series, Kaeser has been able to enhance system power and cooling, reduce sound levels and maintain the compact footprint of only 0.49 m² (standard version).
The results speak for themselves: With free air deliveries of 0.9 and 1.2 m³/min at 8 bar respectively, the SM 9 and 12 each deliver even more compressed air than their predecessors (11 and 15 bar pressure versions are also available). The existing 5.5 and 7.5 kW versions (the SM 9 and 12) are also joined by a 9 kW model, the SM 15, which delivers 1.5 m³/min at 8 bar. Furthermore, an integrated refrigeration dryer option is available to ensure reliable compressed air drying. Thermally shielded to prevent exposure to heat from the compressor package, the refrigeration dryer module makes SM series 'T' versions highly efficient, compact compressed air systems that are able to deliver a reliable source of quality, dry compressed air at all times. The SM 12 can be equipped with Kaeser's "SFC" variable speed control, allowing compressor performance to be precisely matched to suit fluctuating compressed air demand. It can also be supplied as part of a three-module system (SM 12 T SFC), which includes a compressor, refrigeration dryer and variable speed control.
Users looking for a compressed air package that not only delivers efficient air production and treatment, but which is also able to store compressed air with minimal space requirement can opt for an "Aircenter" package. Available in all three SM model sizes, each "Aircenter" includes a refrigeration dryer and a compressor mounted on a 270 litre air receiver. All three modules – the compressor, dryer and air receiver – are enclosed within in a single housing, so that the whole system appears as one unit. The SM 12 "Aircenter" model can also be equipped with variable speed control.
The striking anthracite-coloured housing cover on the front left of each unit is easy to remove and allows excellent component accessibility. Combined with outstanding ease of maintenance, each SM model represents the very latest advances in air system performance and design. Every unit uses a flow optimised "Sigma Profile" fluid-cooled airend and an IE3 rated motor to guarantee excellent specific power with high energy-efficiency. The motor and airend are connected via a V-belt drive system equipped with an automatic tensioning device. This not only ensures constant and efficient power transmission, but also significantly reduces maintenance requirement. As a result of highly effective sound insulation and low airend speeds these ultra-quiet machines operate with sound pressure levels of only 64 to 66 dB (A). Moreover, a high-efficiency cooling system provides the motor and fluid / compressed air coolers with fresh cooling air drawn in from the ambient surroundings to achieve exceptionally low compressed air discharge temperatures.
The internal "Sigma Control basic" controller provides automatic system monitoring and precisely adjusts compressor performance to match actual compressed air demand. Models are also optionally available equipped with the "Sigma Control 2", which allows connection to compressed air management systems.

FX's first-year drama "The Americans" racked up four nominations for this year's Television Critics Association Awards as the cabler was the most honored network for the first time.
"The Americans" is nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Drama, joined by AMC's "Breaking Bad" and "The Walking Dead" as well as HBO's "Game of Thrones" and Showtime's "Homeland." It's also up for Program of the Year, where its competition includes Netflix's "House of Cards."
"The Americans" also earned a nomination for New Program, and its star Matthew Rhys earned an acting nom for Individual Achievement in Drama.
For a third straight year, "Louie" was nominated in the category of Outstanding Achievement in Comedy, and its star Louis C.K. earned his third consecutive TCA nod for Indidual Achievement in Comedy. Both "Louie" and Louis C.K. won those awards last year.
And FX's "American Horror Story: Asylum" is among the nominations for Outstanding Minseries, Movie or Special, opposite the likes of HBO's "Behind the Candelabra" and PBS' "Downton Abbey."
With seven nominations, FX finished ahead of CBS, NBC and HBO, each of whom picked up six, and AMC, with five.
"These were not easy choices for our 200-plus members," said TCA President Candace Havens after the nominations were revealed Monday. "The past TV season was filled with deserving people and programs, and these are the cream of the crop."
In addition to recognizing the year's finest programming, the TCA Awards bestow a Heritage Award trophy to one long-standing program that has culturally or socially impacted society. This year, the TCA members have nominated some of TV's most memorable series with CBS's "All In the Family"; ABC's "Lost" and "Twin Peaks;" and NBC's "Saturday Night Live" and "Star Trek."
This year's TCA Awards will be presented Aug. 3, during the summer's TCA press tour. Below is a full list of the nominations.

Die Sperrstelle Gänsbrunnen (Armeebezeichnung «Gänsbrunnnen Bahnhof» Nr. 326) war eine Verteidigungsstellung der Schweizer Armee. Sie befindet sich auf dem Gemeindegebiet von Gänsbrunnen im Solothurner Jura auf rund . Sie wurde während des Zweiten Weltkriegs gebaut und 1995 aus der Geheimhaltung der Armee entlassen. Die Sperrstelle gilt als militärisches Denkmal von nationaler Bedeutung.

Geschichte
Während der solothurnischen Grenzbesetzung von 1789–1798 gab es eine Besatzung auf dem Tscharandiberg (Binzberg), der an der Grenze zum Fürstbistum Basel und ab 1797 an der Grenze zu Frankreich lag. Am 28. Februar 1798 rückten französische Truppen von Court aus durch das Chaluet-Tal auf den Tscharandiberg vor und eroberten den solothurnischen Posten. Am nächsten Tag erfolgte von diesem Ausgangspunkt aus der allgemeine französische Angriff auf die Solothurner und Berner Stellungen.

Die Sperrstelle liegt in der Klus von Gänsbrunnen, der kürzesten Verbindung vom Schweizer Mittelland (Solothurn) ins grenznahe Delsberger Becken. Die Jurakette wird bei Gänsbrunnen durch den Weissensteintunnel der Bahnstrecke Solothurn–Moutier unterquert. Die Sperrstelle hatte die Strasse und den Eisenbahntunnel mit mehreren Infanteriebunkern sowie eine Umgehung Richtung Binzberg (Übergang nach Court) zu sichern und zu sperren. Die Strassen- und Bahnbarrikade (T 0877) im Engnis der Klus wurde 1937 an der Kantonsgrenze Solothurn-Bern neben dem Weissenstein-Eisenbahntunnel-Eingang gebaut. Die dazugehörenden Bunker wurden 1941/42 durch eine zivile Baufirma erstellt.

Die Sperrstellen Gänsbrunnen und Binzberg gehörten zum Einsatzgebiet der Grenzbrigade 3 (Brigade frontière 3) des 1. Armeekorps (1. Corps d'armée). Die Grenzbrigade 3 erhielt für die rückwärtige Zone ab August 1940 das Territorialregiment Hölstein (Ter Bat 168, 172), das bisher die Schluchten von Court und Moutier gesperrt hatte. Das Ter Rgt Hölstein besetzte ab April 1941 die südlichen Schluchteingänge und die Sperre von Gänsbrunnen mit der Frontgrenze Malsenberg-Graitery-Moron sowie die Höhen von Weissenstein-Montoz und Sperren der Übergänge ins Mittelland. Im Mai 1941 wurde es in Territorialregiment Jura (Ter Rgt Jura) umbenannt (Ter Bat 168, 178) und 1942 durch die HD Bewachungskompanie 4 (BE) beziehungsweise HD Bewachungskompanie 3 (SO) und den lokalen Ortswehren verstärkt.

Von 1945 bis 1995 war das Regiment 90 (Bat 168 BE und Bat 178 SO, ab 1962 Bat 168 und 169 BE) für den Raum zuständig. Während der Armee 61 wurden zahlreiche atomsichere Unterstände (ASU, KP und Kugelbunker) gebaut und die Sperren und Verbindungen erneuert. Die Grenzbrigade 3 erhielt ein Netz von 12-cm-Zwillings-Festungsminenwerfern. Mit der Armee 95 wurden die Grenzbrigaden aufgelöst.

Sperrstelle Gänsbrunnen
Die Sperrstelle besteht aus drei Infanteriebunkern (zwei waren ursprünglich mit 8,4 cm Kanonen bewaffnet), zwei Felskavernen als Unterstände, einer Strassenbarrikade und sieben modernen Unterständen. Das Infanteriewerk auf der Ostflanke (A 1485) hatte die Westinfrastruktur zu schützen und war nur über eine Leiter erreichbar. Das Panzerabwehrwerk A 1487 wirkte auf die Strasse und frontal auf die Barrikaden. Das Infanteriewerk A 1486 wirkte flankierend auf Strassen- und Bahntrassee sowie auf das Gegenwerk A 1485.

Den verbunkerten 8,4 cm-Feldkanonen (A 1488) wurden als Munitionsvorrat pro Rohr 300 Schrapnell-Granaten und 50 Kartätschen zugeteilt. Für die kurzen Schussdistanzen in den engen Schluchten wurden anfänglich 24 mm-Tankbüchsen (A 1486, 1487) verwendet, da bei der Schweizer Armee zu dieser Zeit nur wenige 4,7 cm-Infanteriekanonen vorhanden waren.

 Strassen- und Bahnhindernis (Tankbarrikade) T 0877 (Kantonsgrenze BE-SO, abgebaut)
 Infanteriebunker Bahnhof Ost A 1485: 1 Maschinengewehr (Mg), 1 Leicht Maschinengewehr (Lmg)

 Unterstand-Kaverne A 1489, 1944 durch Internierte gebaut
 Unterstand-Kaverne A 1490, 1944 durch Internierte gebaut

Sperrstelle Binzberg
Um eine rückseitige Umgehung der Sperre von Gänsbrunnen zu verhindern, musste die Verbindung Court-Binzberg-Gänsbrunnen verteidigt werden. Die im Talgrund verlaufende Strasse war nicht durchgehend und über den Binzberg führte nur ein Fahrweg. Die den Raum Chaluet-Court abdeckenden Geschütze waren 1943 schussbereit:
 Artilleriebunker Binzberg Süd A 1491: eine 8,4 cm Feldkanone
 Artilleriebunker Binzberg Nord A 1492: eine 8,4 cm Feldkanone

Sperrstelle La Rossmatte
Die Sperrstelle La Rossmatte JU (Armeebezeichnung Nr. 319) befindet sich auf der heutigen Kantonsgrenze JU/BE (Ortschaft Envelier und Gemeinde Seehof BE).

Verein Festungswerke Solothurner Jura
Der Kanton Solothurn konnte 2004 fast alle Objekte auf Kantonsgebiet von der Schweizer Armee kaufen, die seither vom Verein Festungswerke Solothurner Jura (VFSJ) betreut werden. In Gänsbrunnen sind das die Werke A 1486 und A 1487. Der VFSJ unterhält Festungswerke aus dem Ersten und Zweiten Weltkrieg und organisiert die Besuchstage «offene Bunkertüren». Er setzt sich für den Erhalt des Weissensteintunnels ein, der im Raum Gänsbrunnen von mehreren Bunkern abgedeckt wurde.

BPI readies Pirate Party UK lawsuit over The Pirate Bay proxy
The music industry body, which found its previous request for the proxy's closure rebuffed, is now preparing to take the matter to the courts.
By David Meyer | December 12, 2012 -- 12:06 GMT (04:06 PST) | Topic: Security
The British music industry body the BPI is set to take legal action against the Pirate Party UK, because the small political party is running a proxy for file-sharing service The Pirate Bay.
Copyright reform: Europe works on finer stick-carrot balance
After the disaster that was ACTA, the European Commission has returned to the many thorny issues that surround copyright reform. New legislation, possibly around enforcement, is likely to show up within the next couple of years.
A court has ordered major ISPs in the UK to block access to The Pirate Bay on copyright infringement grounds. The Pirate Party proxy is one of many ways in which customers of those ISPs can access the site anyway.
The BPI had previously asked the Pirate Party UK to take down the proxy, but party leader Loz Kaye refused , arguing that it was legitimate.
Now the BPI is preparing to turn to the courts, as Kaye confirmed on Monday.
"Geoff Taylor of the BPI has written to me to say we should expect a letter from their solicitors," Kaye told TorrentFreak.
"As of Saturday, if paperwork has been filed, then we are unaware of it. If the BPI choose to file a lawsuit, then we will deal with that as we become aware of it. We would have thought they would have preferred to talk to us first, but it is their choice as to what they do."
A BPI spokesperson told the BBC that court proceedings would be "necessary".
"Despite our efforts to resolve the matter amicably, it is clear that the Pirate Party are determined to continue providing access to the illegal Pirate Bay site," the spokesman reportedly said.
The Pirate Bay is one of the best-known file-sharing sites in the world. It is not, however, the first to be blocked by the UK's courts. That honour went to Newzbin2, which recently shut down due to having lost many of its users.
