Disclosure Requirements - Canada
Disclosure Category: 2
Investment in a limited number of industries is monitored and foreign investors must declare their nationality and complete a declaration form when purchasing shares.
An obligation may fall on CBL, as a custodian, to disclose details of its account holders to issuers and/or to regulators on request in certain specific circumstances.
Customers holding Canadian shares consent and are hereby deemed to consent to disclosure and to the appointment of the requestor (that is, the issuer) as their attorney-in fact, under power of attorney to collect from CBL such information as is required to be disclosed. Customers who do not want to grant such authority to CBL should refrain from holding such shares in their account with CBL.
Customers should be aware that a Canadian issuer may require CBL, through its local custodian, on request and/or on a regular basis, to disclose to that company information relating to the identity of CBL customers holding any of the company's shares in CBL.
If the disclosed information about the holding reveals that a customer's holding in the shares of a Canadian issuer eligible in CBL exceeds a certain percentage, such issuer may require CBL to request that customer to disclose information about the final beneficial owners of that holding.
In addition, the National Instrument 54-101 that addresses shareholder communication requires that the local custodian releases information about beneficial owners to issuers or third parties on request, unless they have expressly objected to such disclosure in the proxy related materials in connection with shareholder meetings.
The disclosure request and the information required on a declaration of beneficial ownership also varies from industry to industry and from company to company. Some companies may require the name, address and residence status of the beneficial owner(s) to be disclosed; others may only require information to know whether beneficial owners are residents or non-residents of Canada.
Background and legal basis
It is the responsibility of the issuer to ensure compliance with regulations limiting foreign ownership in "constrained share" companies - the issuer usually delegates appropriate enforcement to its transfer agent. The major industries, subject to various forms of foreign ownership restrictions include, among others: Banking, Trust services, Insurances, Broadcasting, Communications, Transportation and Public utilities.
Legislative restrictions on foreign ownership for these industries do not conform to a standard, each industry being governed by rules outlined in a separate act (the Bank Act, the Insurance Companies Act, the Telecommunications Act, the Trust and Loan Companies Act etc.).
In general, these regulations usually limit single-investor ownership (foreign or domestic) to 10% and total foreign ownership to 25%. Due to the variety of legislation among the industries, there is no standard approach to monitoring the foreign ownership in a "constrained share" issue - even within industries, the approach to operational monitoring varies between companies. We therefore invite you to consult appropriate professional local advisers for additional information on the legal thresholds applicable to the Canadian securities held with CBL.
The National Instrument 54-101 ("NI 54-101"), effective since 1 July 2002, permits reporting issuers and, in certain circumstances described by the NI 54-101, interested third parties to obtain from intermediaries information about beneficial owners.
The NI 54-101 introduces the concept of non-objecting beneficial owner (NOBO) and objecting beneficial owner (OBO), as the beneficial owner has the possibility to object or non-object that his/her personal data is disclosed to the issuer by filling in a form.
Accordingly the local custodian shall obtain the written instructions from the beneficial owners concerning the release of such information to issuers or third parties on request.
Obligation to report threshold crossings
If ownership limits are exceeded, the issuer or its appointed transfer agent may refuse to register the securities in the non-resident's name or in the name of its nominee. Failure to transfer the shares in a timely manner can, if the shares are due to be sold on, result in settlement problems.
With the regulations being subject to various interpretations, it is best to contact the issuer's transfer agent for their full list of actual declaration requirements.
Failure to comply with the appropriate disclosure requirements will be subject to sanctions as explained at the time of the request for the declaration.

Winston Churchill becomes prime minister of Britain
Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, is called to replace Neville Chamberlain as British prime minister following the latter's resignation after losing a confidence vote in the House of Commons.
In 1938, Prime Minister Chamberlain signed the Munich Agreement with Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, giving the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia over to German conquest but bringing, as Chamberlain promised, "peace in our time." In September 1939, that peace was shattered by Hitler's invasion of Poland. Chamberlain declared war against Germany but during the next eight months showed himself to be ill-equipped for the daunting task of saving Europe from Nazi conquest. After British forces failed to prevent the German occupation of Norway in April 1940, Chamberlain lost the support of many members of his Conservative Party. On May 10, Hitler invaded Holland, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The same day, Chamberlain formally lost the confidence of the House of Commons.
Churchill, who was known for his military leadership ability, was appointed British prime minister in his place. He formed an all-party coalition and quickly won the popular support of Britons. On May 13, in his first speech before the House of Commons, Prime Minister Churchill declared that "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat" and offered an outline of his bold plans for British resistance. In the first year of his administration, Britain stood alone against Nazi Germany, but Churchill promised his country and the world that the British people would "never surrender." They never did.

The Ghost of Peter Sellers
Director Peter Medak tells the story of his ill-fated pirate comedy shot in Cyprus in 1973, plagued by the egos of its headliners Peter Sellers and Spike Milligan.
The director has been haunted by his failure of decades ago, and with the main players no longer in this world, he seeks to exorcise himself of their ghosts. We get to view a one-sided forensic exploration of all that went wrong (everything), and it becomes a comprehensive lesson in filmmaking. Short splices when shown now look fun, but apparently not for anyone who was there, not even the extras. That sinking feeling.

Senate approves Native American War Veterans bill
WASHINGTON – The Senate unanimously approved legislation to bring a Native American war memorial to the National Mall.
The bill would allow needed flexibility to fulfill a two-decade-long dream for a national monument honoring the valor of Native American veterans, Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, said Friday.
"This bill is needed to facilitate construction of a long-awaited Native American's memorial on the National Mall," Schatz said. "This memorial has languished for almost 20 years since the passage of the original Native American Veterans Memorial Establishments Act."
The Senate approved the bill late Thursday by unanimous consent. It had previously cleared the House and now goes to President Obama, who perhaps will sign it into law while on vacation in Hawaii.
The bill allows for the memorial to be erected on the grounds of the National American Indian Museum. As well, it would allow the museum to help raise private funds needed for its construction.
The 1994 law establishing the memorial left the fundraising duties to the National Congress of American Indians, and required the memorial to be placed inside the museum.
Schatz worked with Rep. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., on the bill. Mullin, a Cherokee native, issued a statement Friday praising Congress for passage of the bill.
"Congress took another step in recognizing the sacrifice given by countless veterans throughout Indian Country," Mullin said. "The stories their lives tell play a significant role in the history of our nation."
Schatz said the memorial would ensure that future generations "commemorate the exceptional commitment to freedom and democracy" made by native Hawaiians, Alaska natives and American Indians.
There were more than 154,000 Native American veterans in 2012, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Those included: 14,348 in Oklahoma, 9,556 in Texas and 1,764 in Arkansas.

'The Hobbit' — a prequel journey that leads us into grander LOTR fantasy
Eleanor Ringel December 17, 2012 9:38 pm
By Eleanor Ringel Cater
J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" is a children's book.
Let me repeat that.
"The Hobbit" is a children's book.
Not a little kid's book, but definitely aimed at eight and older fantasists. I can't imagine anyone over 13 reading it, unless, they love "Lord of the Rings" so much, they must have more Tolkien.
That doesn't mean adults wouldn't enjoy it, but probably more in the way they enjoy "Harry Potter" (as I do). "The Hobbit" is about dwarfs and dragons and trolls and orcs and elves and stolen treasure and a wizard and a Hobbit and a wretched creature that calls himself Gollum.
And a Ring. Yes, The Ring.
Peter Jackson, whose "Ring" trilogy is about as sensational as anyone who loves the books could've hoped for, wasn't initially all that interested in directing "The Hobbit." One of the reasons, I think, is because it is nothing, really, like "LOTR." It simply occupies the same Middle Earth.
So, it's like saying "The Searchers" is similar to "Blazing Saddles" because they both take place in the Old West.
However, because the story introduces Gollum and Gandalf and the Shire and The Ring and the peculiar relationship Hobbits seem to have with The Ring, the book (and movie) has a very legitimate claim on being a prequel.
Set 60 years before "LOTR," the story concerns Frodo's uncle Bilbo. You remember him as Ian Holm, the older Hobbit who, with some difficulty, passed The Ring on to his nephew, Frodo (Elijah Wood who appears in a brief cameo. The younger Bilbo, ardently played here by Martin Freeman (from the original British "The Office") is living a quiet life in The Shire when, one sunny day, the wizard Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen, who has nailed this character there and back again) drops by. Seems there are some dwarfs who may need some help. Seems their underground living space (to say nothing of their pile of gold) has been taken by the dragon Smaug.
I've never been quite certain why Bilbo was needed to help them; he's identified as a burglar to strangers, but ….
Maybe it was all part of Tolkien's grand scheme to place The Ring in Hobbit hands and thus take us into the grander fantasy of "LOTR." At any rate, Bilbo is included as a "burglar" — though most immediately, he provides a temporary refuge for 13 dwarfs who need to re-group.
Thus, this fellowship consists of said dwarfs, led by Thorin (Richard Armitage, who is no Viggo Mortensen), Bilbo, and Gandalf. There is a sleepover in Rivendell, which allows Hugo Weaving and Cate Blanchett to make cameo appearances (I'm not sure either of their characters appear in "The Hobbit").
The rest is a lot of trekking, fighting, dwarf humor and 48…shorthand that every Blog Boy or Techie Fiend knows as an advance over the usual 24-frames-per-second? (I think that's it but I am no Blog Boy or Techie Fiend; I just remember Goddard's oft-quoted "Cinema is truth 24 frames a second;" guess he'll have to revise that).
The fellowship is headed to the dwarfs' old hangout called Lonely Mountain — a thudding linguistic note that underscores the difference between this and "LOTR."
They encounter orcs, elves, well, see above.
Essentially "The Hobbit" is a journey, like "LOTR" or, for that matter, "Lassie Come Home." Several enjoyable characters are introduced. One example: An environmentally passionate Wizard who gets around in a sleight pulled by giant rabbits.
However, Jackson has not lost his Tolkien touch. The movie's most thrilling scene is the encounter between Bilbo and that sad, slimy psycho, Gollum (Andy Serkis, giving as great a supporting performance as I've seen all year). Here is where "The Hobbit" collides with "LOTR" and here is where the film seems most conscious of its considerable heritage.
"The Hobbit" is in no way a bad movie. It's a very good — and very long — children's movie, with the usual doses of violence and peril. What worried me most was, this thing is almost three hours long. Jackson plans two more three-hour installments. I just can't my head around a nine-hour trilogy based on "The Hobbit."
Not even Lassie took nine hours to come home.
DVD Recommendation: We think of Sir Ian McKellen in that Wizard's hat and cane so often there's even a joke made about it in the new thriller, "Zero Dark 30." To see him in something entirely different, try "Richard III" in which he plays the hunchbacked villain with an elegant relish for being a Bad Boy. A Very Bad Boy.

Year Up provides 'at risk' young people a path to employment
Reader December 18, 2012 3:25 pm
Okay, as an adult who reread the book last month (for a book club), I can say that Elrond (Weaving's character) is in the book, and the evil critters are goblins, not orcs (though Jackson may have changed that; I haven't seen it yet). Can't imagine it's nine hours myself – took less time to read it.Report


Rishi Panchami 2015 date is 18 September, Friday. Rishi Panchami is taken as one of the most auspicious days by the people who follow Hinduism. All the sages of ancient time as well as the present time are respected on the day of Rishi Panchami. The festival of Rishi Panchami came into existence due to the pious efforts of Saptarishi that made the human life better. The term rishi denotes Sage and the term Panchami signifies the fifth day. Therefore the name Rishi Panchami denotes the commemoration of great sages on the fifth day of Shukla paksha in the month of Bhadrapad. Sapt rishi is a combination of seven learned sages, who devoted their lives for the betterment of humankind.They taught people the basic principles of taking goodness to a higher level and were very determined as far as their principles of living life were concerned. It is believed that they passed down their wisdom to the people so that people are able of follow the path of knowledge and become enlightened.
Let us know about the legend related to this festival while celebrating Rishi Panchami in 2015. Rishi Panchami is such an auspicious day that if the fast is observed and rituals are performed, a person is relieved from all the sins of his or her present or past life. Lord Brahma himself is the one who narrated the story of Rishi Panchami. According to him there was a simple Brahmin named Uttank who used to live with his wife sushila. Their daughter also lived with them who was a widow. One night several ants covered the body of the daughter and the parents were astonished to see this. They became extremely worried and immediately called a Sage so that he could mend up the situation. The Rishi whom they called was a learned sage and he explained the reason behind their trouble. He made them aware of the sin that their daughter committed in her previous life. He told them that their daughter entered in the kitchen in the days of her menstruation. The rishi advised the daughter to perform certain rituals on the day of Rishi Panchami that will purify her body and soul and this way she will be relieved of the sin that she committed. Following the instructions given by the sage the daughter performed all the customs with absolute devotion. This set her soul free from the dosha. Therefore, this little yet powerful story is a platform that explains the significance of the Rishi Panchami. Rishi panchami is road to peace and sanctification od soul, mind and body.
The rituals and customs dedicated to the rishi panchami must be performed with pure heart and good intentions. A person's intentions play a vital role in the purification of his soul. The devotees have to wake up early in the morning and take a bath as soon as they wake up. A fast is observed on the day Rishi Panchami. The one and only purpose of Rishi Panchami is to sanctify a person completely. Therefore, people do many things such as cleaning of teeth with Upmarga (herb) and bathing with datwan herb. These herbs are very verey pure and are considered to leave the body extremely clean. Herbs are used for the outer purification, whereas a mixture of curd, milk, basil and butter is drank to purify the soul. Worshipping the seven great sages known as sapt rishi is the concluding part of the rituals performed. The prayers are offered in order to invoke the presence of the seven sages and many didderent things such as food and flowers are offered. The name of those seven sages are as follows Kashyapa, Atri, Bharadvaja, Vishvamitra, Gauthama, Jamadagmi and Vashishtha.
These sages put all their efforts only in the direction of making human life better. Therefore, these sage must not only be worshipped but also to be honored with complere dedication and piusness of heart. Observing a fast on Rishi Panchami in 2015 will end up the bad time of your life if they exit due to your previous birth sins. Involve yourself in the celebrations and rituals of Rishi Panchami in 2015 and get blessed with the sanctification of your whole being.
Lohri 2014 : Bonfire For The Longest Night!


Long ago in the dark ages of last fall, I wrote an article about how the major news networks covered the situation in Syria, and it devolved into a rant pretty quickly. I thought that would be enough. But apparently, it's not.
So let's talk about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, shall we?
Before I begin, know that I mean no disrespect to anyone who was aboard this plane when whatever happened to it happened to it. I, like any sensible slug, am deeply saddened by the losses of the many lives on board the plane, and I wish for a speedy recovery of the plane so that the families can rest knowing how their loved ones passed. For them, I am incredibly sorry.
But let's put those condolences into perspective. Major news networks (especially CNN) have carelessly thrown all of that into disregard to madly speculate what happened. There have been claims of terrorism, black holes and even the Bermuda Triangle being involved. Somehow.
First off, as an experienced alien slug, let me tell you about black holes for a sec.
For the armada, we have a black hole cannon that we only use in a last resort. You shoot it at a planet or star, and then there's no more planet or star. Even the tiniest black hole would completely annihilate the entire Earth. Assuming it was a black hole is inanely stupid beyond belief.
You were probably thinking of wormholes. Wormholes transfer objects (often prisoners, in our case) to other far-flung parts of space. Even then, though, that's still pretty inane.
And terrorism? The Bermuda Triangle? You may as well blame the Illuminati or suggest that the plane is in Area 51.
Long story short, CNN and the others botched the story. On CNN, coverage of the flight has consumed three weeks full of news that went unreported. So let's look at BBC and see what other things happened in the world aside from the flight.
Hm … ooo, here! "The Colbert Report" almost got canceled over a racist tweet. That's pretty juicy.
Oh, here. There was another shooting at Fort Hood. Viewers probably want to know more about that.
Turkey lifted the country's ban on Twitter. That could lead to a lot of discussion about Internet censorship and suppression of free speech, especially in countries like China or Syria where dissent is still suppressed.
You could have spent all of those weeks discussing topics related to those. But no. You needed to discuss the missing flight. You needed to talk about how a black hole supposedly sucked the plane into oblivion somehow without bringing the entire planet with it. I'm sorry, I still can't get over that inaccuracy! Black holes are dangerous, man!
After a while of thinking, George surmised that this was a problem with the format and not the network itself. If there's a news program rolling 24 hours a day, that means that you have to find news to report, and that's not always easy.
But I have a couple problems with that argument. First of all, the format's not going away, it's making too much money. Second of all, as we've seen, there's been plenty of stories in that flight period, and while they touched on them, they immediately went back to speculation.
He has a point, though. The format of 24/7 news programming is pretty inherently flawed. This is a constructive column, however, and there has to be a solution that will alleviate this somewhat.
In my last news-bashing article, I suggested that networks admit up-front that news is still coming in and that they know nothing. I think that much is obvious in this situation, though. So how else can we fix this?
Well, as we mentioned, there's plenty of news, and I don't know of anyone who actually watches these networks 24/7 — except insomniacs or the writers for "The Daily Show". Why not use that speculation time to instead report the news again for those who are just joining in? I know they do that already to an extent, but think of how many viewers would like to see some actual news instead of mad conspiracy theories, even if it is on repeat.
And before you mention that CNN and others have websites, speculation pieces clog those sites just about as much as they do the TV, so this suggestion works both online and on the air.

Disease and region specificity of granulin immunopositivities in Alzheimer disease and frontotemporal lobar degeneration

Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in GRN, the progranulin gene, which result in progranulin (PGRN) protein haploinsufficiency, are a major cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 proteinopathy (FTLD-TDP). PGRN is composed of seven and a half repeats of a highly conserved granulin motif that is cleaved to produce the granulin peptides A-G and paragranulin. To better understand the role of PGRN and granulin (Grn) peptides in the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration, we evaluated PGRN/Grn in brains of patients with Alzheimer disease, FTLD-TDP type A with or without GRN mutations, and normal individuals, using a panel of monoclonal antibodies against Grn peptides A-G. In the neocortex, Grn peptide-specific immunostains were observed, for example, membranous Grn E immunopositivity in pyramidal neurons, and Grn C immunopositivity in ramified microglia. In the hippocampus, Grn immunopositivity in the CA1 and CA2 regions showed diseasespecific changes in both neurons and microglia. Most interestingly, in FTLD-TDP type A with GRN mutations, there is a 60% decrease in the density of Grn-positive microglia in the hippocampal CA1, suggesting that haploinsufficiency of the GRN mutations also extends to PGRN expression in microglia. This study provides important insights into future studies of the pathogenesis and treatment of FTLD-TDP.

Laptop Programming graduates are ready for careers in programming, analytics, software improvement, and as information managers. Programming a computer may be performed in one in every of numerous languages, starting from a better-degree language to writing directly in low-degree machine code (that is, code that extra instantly controls the specifics of the pc's hardware) all the way in which all the way down to writing microcode (which does straight management the electronics within the laptop).
Methods of measuring programming language popularity embrace: counting the variety of job ads that point out the language, 11 the variety of books bought and courses instructing the language (this overestimates the significance of newer languages), and estimates of the variety of existing traces of code written in the language (this underestimates the number of users of business languages akin to COBOL).
Notice: Candidates should have primary computer expertise comparable to keyboard proficiency, Internet searching and looking out, and proficiency with an office software program suite (word processing, spreadsheets, and many others.) previous to the beginning of the program.
Machine code was the language of early applications, written within the instruction set of the actual machine, often in binary notation. Step one in most formal software program growth processes is necessities evaluation, adopted by testing to determine value modeling, implementation, and failure elimination (debugging).
In one sense this is true as a result of all digital electronic computer systems translate programming languages into strings of ones and zeros called binary, or Machine code. Good practices 8 throughout preliminary growth make the difference on this regard.


A great deal is said these days about values. Family values, life values, the value of life itself. What do people mean when they speak of such values? And where do these values come from?
Jesus went to the cross to die to pay the price for the guilt of the sins of all humanity for all time (Heb. 9:27-28). For all humanity? Yes, for all humanity. For all time? Yes, for all time. But Jesus' dying on the cross holds its greatest meaning for you when you view it as having been done for you. You personally. You cannot make the death of Jesus have meaning for all humanity. You can only make His death have meaning based upon how you personally react to it. So, are you worth the death of Jesus?

Part 25 of my Let's Build: A Consultancy Website series continues on the About page.
The design calls for a brief call to action and image of Alyssa herself for people to better identify who they might be working with. This section is treated like a bio of sorts but offers a citation and quote from Alyssa herself.
Coding this section is fairly straight forward but I had to get creative with positioning the image of Alyssa so it both looked like the design and scaled decently for other devices.
My goal for all background images is to create a sass mixin for retina-ready screens. At specific resolutions, different images will be served to the user so they appear sharp no matter what device you use.
We pass a few arguments through to the mixin and in return it outputs media queries and other CSS specific to devices with a higher pixel ratio (retina).
You'll notice I pass the path to the image separately from the image extension. Doing this assumes you have another image at retina size with a @2x attribute added to the filename. Some "prep" is required for this all to work nicely but you can make it adapt to your workflow and cover all your tracks when it comes to retina screens.

Oxford United 2 Accrington Stanley 0
The 48 fans who made the trip to Oxford on Tuesday were proudly chanting 'Stanley til I die.'
Lancs Live
FA HEARTACHE: Lee Molyneux in action in the second-round replay at the Kassam Stadium (Picture: Oxford United FC)
Join the Secret Elves to get first access to our exclusive reviews of the must-have products this year.
And Reds boss Leam Richardson will need their backing as he goes through a big test of his young management career.
If things can go wrong, they are at the moment for the 33-year-old who is certainly learning about life as 'gaffer' the hard way. In his short 12-game reign, he has had a lot to deal with.
He has had to cope with the recall of strong centre-half Rob Atkinson by Fleetwood last month and now both fellow centre-halves Dean Winnard and Peter Murphy are fighting to be fit for the busy Christmas periods after injuries at the Kassam Stadium on Tuesday night.
They were already low on numbers in defence – with keeper Ian Dunbavin out for the season – and with Winnard and Murphy touch and go, the Reds are decimated.
The Stanley boss has also had to try and lift a squad low on confidence – he took over when they had suffered four defeats on the bounce under Paul Cook and had slipped down the league.
They have never really recovered their early-season form which saw them into the play-off spots and are suffering at both ends of the pitch.
Striker James Beattie, who had scored three goals in four games, hasn't overcome a knock and Padraig Amond is going through something of a goal drought with the Reds now without a goal in three games.
And, in defence, any mistakes are being punished.
Against all this, a morale-boosting FA¿Cup second round win would have been perfect and Richardson's men were just seconds away in their home clash with Oxford before Michael Raynes headed home to make it 3-3 and force Tuesday's replay.
The £27,000 which would have come from winning that replay – and could have been invested in new players – is now winging its way into the Oxford bank account.
All in all, it's a testing time for the young manager and his threadbare squad.
"It's difficult," admitted Richardson, who just badly needs some rub of the green.
"I was confident at 0-0 at half-time at Oxford as I felt, if the game opened up in the second half, we would be a threat.
"But then we lost both centre-halves to injury, had to shuffle the pack and it became difficult."
Difficult indeed as Winnard and Murphy had managed to contain the goal threat of James Constable and Tom Craddock in the first half – the pair had played their part in a 5-0 thumping of the Reds in October in Cook's last away game in charge.
Toto Nsiala had cleared two goalbound efforts and, while the Reds hadn't created much up front, Rommy Boco was buzzing around and there is always the feeling Beattie can conjure up something out of nothing.
However Murphy had taken a knock to his hip just before the break while Winnard needed treatment on the stroke of half-time to a head injury.
"Peter tried to play through it but he couldn't," said Richardson. "We had a look at Dean at half-time but he was unable to carry on."
So, from being comfortable, Richardson had to make three quick-fire subs after the break with midfielder Bohan Dixon occupying the unusual right back role; Michael Liddle going into the centre-half spot and the whole backline moving around to try and cover the injuries.
And the Oxford strike force of Constable and Craddock began upping the pace to try and exploit the Reds' makeshift backline.
But a sign of Stanley's luck at the moment could be seen in two match-changing incidents.
In the first, Stanley keeper Paul Rachubka stopped Constable's strike after the frontman burst through but then the ball agonisingly ran out of his grasp for a corner. Peter Leven put the flag kick in, Rachubka couldn't get it and Constable thumped home a header from four yards to give Oxford the lead.
One error and Oxford scored – but then United keeper Ryan Clarke did a smilar thing and it didn't go Stanley's way.
Clarke fumbled Lee Molyneux's free kick and there were big appeals from the Reds players that he had actually taken the ball over the goalline – but nothing was given and, when it could have been 1-1, it remained at 1-0.
"I did have problems with a select few officials all game but I don't want to talk about it as we still had 90 minutes to win," said Richardson as he avoided talking himself into trouble.
To make matters worse, straight from the 'goal' appeals, Oxford broke, the Reds failed to clear their lines on 79 minutes and Leven curled the ball home from the edge of the area to see off the visitors' threat.
"It was a big game for us and to come away with nothing is disappointing especially the way the first game panned out," added the Reds boss.
"It's a bitter pill to swallow and some lads were dead on their feet out there at the end and gave their all. I can't complain if they do that."

The shortage of computer chips globally continues to disrupt the sectors post pandemic recovery. Carmakers are struggling to get their hands on supplies as tech companies increase orders for the parts.
The UK automotive industry output continues to decline as the months-long shortage of computer chips hinders the sectors recovery efforts. While chips are in short supply, car makers have been forced to:
Slow down their assembly lines
Cut down on shift rotations
Pause production entirely
This has pushed delivery times for some new cars back by months. Buyers of some Jaguar Land Rover models were told they will have to wait more than a year for their motors to arrive.
In August, a report from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) stated that the number of cars built in UK factories fell by 27% year on year to 37,200. In August 2020, 51,000 cars were built in UK factories as carmakers raced to make up for the time lost to lockdowns.
UK car industry
The car industry plays a vital element for the UK economy, generating over £78.9 billion a year. Approximately 180,000 people work in manufacturing while 864,000 are employed in the wider supply chain.
Approximately 30 manufacturers are building 70 car models in the UK at present. That includes local firms such as:
Alongside international firms like:
Why is the shortage affecting new car production?
As economies began to open up again, the demand in the UK and across the globe recovered rapidly. However, carmakers worldwide have since struggled to increase their output due to the on-going disruption the pandemic continues to cause. Specifically, the global shortage of computer chips which are used in everything from entertainment systems to electric car batteries has notably proved to be most problematic for carmakers globally.
Also impacting on the shortage is the significant increase in electric cars. The UK is making more electric cars, which have considerably more chips in them, than ever before. Hitting a new record, approximately 26% of the cars built by UK manufacturers in July were either battery electric, plug in hybrid, or hybrid electric, according to SMMT.
Several car manufacturers cancelled semiconductor orders at the start of the pandemic because they were concerned about a drop in sales. However, when sales recovered faster than expected, the car giants found themselves at the end of the line for chips.
SMMT's outlook
The SMMT predicts the chip crisis to wipe 100,00 off the UK's total car production for 2021. This is a huge blow for the automotive industry with fewer than a million cars built in the past 12 months. This has fallen from 1.7m as recently as 2017.
To date, production in 2021 is 14% higher than 2020, when factories remained closed for months. Output is down by 32% compared to the same period in 2019.
Moreover, Mike Hawes, the SMMT's Chief Executive, noted the weakness of the UK manufacturing output was "extremely worrying both for the sector and its many thousands of workers nationwide."
"The impact of the semiconductor shortage on manufacturing cannot be overstated," he said. "Carmakers and their suppliers are battling to keep production lines rolling with constraints expected to continue well into 2022 and possibly beyond."

topic of anonymity David Sharpe Big Tall Jersey , Robert Parkinson (2010) said, "I am not suggesting that reporters make up news, although that has happened. And I'm not suggesting that business people misspeak, although there has been some of that, too." Lance Winslow noted that "we are starting to see more and more internet laws being added to the books in many different agencies in the United States. There are cyber laws at the FBI, FCC Eddie Vanderdoes Big Tall Jersey , SEC, FTC and many other places cropping up" (2006).
The internet is still a new frontier, in many ways introducing the concept of Net Image. Given the incredible dynamics of the information age, there is a responsibility to strengthen laws as a nation and embrace ethics as individuals.
Lacey, M. (September 15, 2010). Cybersquatters populate website politicians ignore. New York Times.
The MS Walk in Appleton, Wisconsin has hundreds of race walk participants and a limited number of volunteers to service and control the race walk. Communications from a trained team is great for a race like this. For example, if a racer needs medical attention along the race course then ham radio operators can quickly get help on the way. How? Through the use of an amateur radio network P.J. Hall Big Tall Jersey , otherwise known as a "net".
In a typical race net communications event there is a net control operator usually at a central location. This central location is usually either manned by or connected to in some way race organizers, medical help, police, etc.. Ways to connect to these resources may be via other ham radios including either base stations, mobiles (in cars) or handheld radios that we hams call "HT's" for handy talkies.
One nice advantage of use of a ham radio network at events like this is that it is instantaneous many-to-many communications. If something comes up that EVERYONE should know about – they will – and instantly. While the networks are FREE, equipment required to access the network (radio Kolton Miller Big Tall Jersey , computer, etc.) does have to be acquired. Also, there may be a very small fee to have your radio license confirmed. And, you must be a ham radio operator to access these networks.
Now for my opinion – are these networks "real" radio? Not according to those stuck in the mud folks that really don't see these networks as the natural evolution of converging technologies. To them it's like cheating if you use anything other than radio waves to communicate. I understand that the accomplishment for long distance communications is not the same. But these networks ARE real ham radio.

Kim Kardashian's Skims Collection Partners With Fendi
The line will incorporate the 1979 sketches, which focused on "twisted tube tops, pop colours, and tight sashes," as well as the "focus on fit and form Skims is known for," according to the release.
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian is making the most out of her business as she's now collaborating with an Italian brand Fendi.
Following much speculation, the former "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star officially announced on Monday that her Skims brand will collaborate on a capsule collection with Fendi.

Kim Kardashian, 41, shared a series of photos of herself wearing the unprecedented collaboration's designs, which included a pair of sheer pantyhose and a matching bra.
According to a report that popped up on WSJ. Magazine, the ready-to-wear collection will include tops and dresses (starting at $950), leggings ($1,100), and a puffer jacket ($2,950) in addition to Skims' signature curve-hugging hosiery and bodysuits.
"The innovation in fabrics and fit typical to Skims paired with the luxury and quality of Fendi may feel unexpected to some people, but the similarities between our creative vision and goals are so closely aligned. It's that tension that excites me," Kim said in a press release.
Kim Kardashian collaborated with her friend, Fendi womenswear artistic director Kim Jones, on the designs, which combine the aesthetics of the two brands and feature a hybrid of their logos.
The Skims x Fendi collection also includes curve-hugging dresses.
Jones said the idea for the collaboration came from his team's love for Skims, recalling a time when the women in his office "went silent and started staring at their phones" in the Italian luxury label's Rome office.
"I didn't know what was going on, but they were waiting for the launch of the new Skims collection. It was then that I thought: let's do something together," Kim recalled.
Kardashian later secretly met with Jones in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for a 10-hour fitting after sending the designer "a bunch" of Skims and discussing the line in Calabasas back in December 2020, as she told WSJ.
A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian)
Fans of both brands will now be able to shop designs inspired by an archival Fendi collection first presented by Karl Lagerfeld, with the collection set to launch on November 9.

The line will incorporate the 1979 sketches, which focused on "twisted tube tops, pop colours, and tight sashes," as well as the "focus on fit and form Skims is known for," according to the release.
The often form-fitting fashions are made from a variety of fabrics, including Roman-inspired bonded leather dresses, bold recycled nylon sportswear, and, of course, hosiery and underwear.

This episode of World Cafe features a local band that's been gaining a lot of buzz, both here and across the pond.
The War On Drugs - Slave Ambient - Secretly Canadian
For many outside of Philadelphia The War On Drugs will likely only bring to mind a controversial campaign on illegal substances, but here in Philly it's music to our ears – literally. Since forming in 2005, frontman and songwriter Adam Granduciel has been honing a sound that is as much homage to his eclectic influences as it is progressive. Slave Ambient is the second full album from The War On Drugs and despite some changes to the original line-up, including the departure of guitarist Kurt Vile, Granduciel leads their sound to a more expansive, colorful and dreamy pasture.

The Constitution as a Counter-Revolutionary Act
1 Comment	/ Uncategorized / By Bill
I am starting to see an awakening among my colleagues and neighbors who pay attention and think through their suppositions that the Constitution may not be the ultimate panacea that the idolaters and hagiographers make it out to be. I used to be a Constitutionalist and mouth the platitudes of getting back to the original intent and returning to our roots. No more. Thanks to my own research and the work of others such as Royce, Spooner and DiLorenzo, the curtain has been drawn back and we find the usual suspects – an enabling document not only for big government but the tools of repression granted. The Constitution is a centralizing document. This is why we almost had another war on American soil after 1783.
The Anti-Federalists were sounding the alarm against the imposition of a "gun in the hands of the national state" and the abilities of moneyed interest to purchase the barriers to competition they needed to legislative fiat. READ the Anti-Federalist Papers soonest! The Constitution is a Hamiltonian monstrosity which was designed from the beginning as a mechanism to destroy the sovereignty of political subdivisions and subsume them to central planning whims of the Federal government. Lincoln simply codified in blood and coda what Hamilton could not quite see through in his time. From that point forward, the rest is the wretched history of the tentacle and grasping Leviathan that is these united States laboring under the Sovietized creature in DC.
Face it, if you are a Constitutional stalwart (whether an adherent of the original intent or the living document schools), you are a willing accomplice to the maintenance and expansion of big government.
See my essay on why the Articles of Confederation were superior.
I will be debating this very topic at Freedom Fest 2010 in Las Vegas in July. -BB
Venlet: On the Constitution as a "Counter-Revolutionary" Act — Parts I &II
Please read John Venlet's essay here, to which I will refer as 'Counter-Revolutionary — Part I'.
In a comment to John's piece, I said that I would write up some thoughts on why I use the "Constitutional Restoration" as an organizing concept. As did John, I offer the same caveat — I speak only for me in what follows. Moreover, nothing below should be construed in any way by anyone as the giving of "legal advice".
To begin, as a refresher, take a quick glance through each of these foundational American documents:
Articles of Confederation
Pretty rapid conceptual evolution, across less than twenty years of admittedly-tumultuous British and American history, wouldn't you say?
I will leave it to others to recount the details of that evolution. Suffice it to say that the trend to centralized, national government has its roots in the very founding of the Republic.
And as we sit here, nearly 234 years after the signing of the Declaration, it is apparent to a growing plurality that the objective of the USC/BoR drafters — to cage the embryonic national government from all but a few limited, enumerated functions — has not been met.
For that plurality, the question arises as to remedies for this situation — discussions about which must be conducted within the context of Chapter 155 of Title 18 of the US Code:
§ 2381. Treason
§ 2382. Misprision of treason
§ 2383. Rebellion or insurrection
§ 2384. Seditious conspiracy
§ 2385. Advocating overthrow of Government
§ 2386. Registration of certain organizations
§ 2387. Activities affecting armed forces generally
§ 2388. Activities affecting armed forces during war
§ 2389. Recruiting for service against United States
§ 2390. Enlistment to serve against United States
I commend a slow, careful read of those statutes and the cases decided thereunder to any freedom-minded activist, coupled with a cold-blooded assessment of the Mighty Kenyan's moral and legal compass, along with those of his state security toadies Holder and Napolitano. The material and sources cited here may be helpful in that assessment, as will Will Grigg's recent thoughts on the subject.
But in risk, there is also opportunity. Read the full text of 18 USC 2385:
Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or
Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or
Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this section, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
As used in this section, the terms "organizes" and "organize", with respect to any society, group, or assembly of persons, include the recruiting of new members, the forming of new units, and the regrouping or expansion of existing clubs, classes, and other units of such society, group, or assembly of persons.
But what if the agitator in question
…knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of restoring the government of the United States and the government of every State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, and the government of any political subdivision therein, to its Constitutionally-stated limits?
Aren't the forces of tyranny potentially present in any centralized human endeavor thwarted — at least prior to the State's inevitable use of force decision — by those who simply insist that Leviathan live within the constitutional cage designed for it more than 200 years before?
Make no mistake — this matter is NOT going to be settled by word games. The stakes are simply too high for all parties.
Leviathan will respond to the constitutionalists' insistence with the only tools at its disposal — tooth and claw.
And when they do, the pragmatic constitutionalist will understand, once and for all, what Spooner meant.
In a few days, I'll have the second half of my response to John's article thought through and written.
Until then, think about these issues.
Your life, and those of your tribe, may depend on the correct answers.
