$75 I will never see again. I wish I would have looked at reviews first. Seemed like a great way to send a gift card online. Seems like your recipient can just print off and use, but instead they accept it and the company will send in the mail. My recipient never received, or it must have looked like junk mail and was disposed of. I then had to jump through hoops to send in notarized affidavit so that they would resend the card. That one never made it either. They refused to send another, stating it was at their expense. What a mistake. I suggest you buy your gift cards at your local grocery store and mail them to your client or family.
Sorry to see that you were dissatisfied - especially since we are in business to deliver smiles. The advantage of sending an iCARD Gift Card versus purchasing a gift card off the rack is that it lets your recipient choose the gift card(s) they want. We carry hundreds of top brands like iTunes, Starbucks, and Macy's. Some cards are electronic and delivered by email. Others are plastic and delivered by mail. Again, the recipient can choose what they like. If the recipient chooses a plastic card and it is lost in the mail, we ask them to complete an affidavit stating they did not receive the card before we send out a second one. We do this as the cards are active at the time of mailing and being resent at iCARD's expense. Our policy allows for re-sending a card once upon confirming the mailing address via an affidavit. Additionally, all cards are scanned in our system so we have proof of mailing. As good as the US postal system is, unfortunately envelopes do occasionally get lost in the mail or accidentally thrown away. To avoid problems with mail, a recipient always has the option to select an electronic card. Sorry again for your dissatisfaction.
AVOID! Poor service - more trouble than it is worth.
Do not give these people your business. Customer service is horrible. I never got my card and worst of all this was my christmas "gift" last year.
So I called them to remedy and basically was blamed through the whole call my the manager of how this was all my fault. They never took any responsibility for not double checking the address they have on file with the one I provided on the affidavit. Gee wouldnt that be the number one reason why things get lost in the mail? Sounds like poor internal processes and systems are the main issue.
AVOID!More trouble than it is worth.
Sorry to hear you did not receive your card. That's very frustrating especially as it was a Christmas gift purchased for you. The redemption process involves you selecting a merchant. Some of the merchants offer a physical card that is mailed, others an electronic one that is emailed. In the case of a plastic card, you need to provide us your mailing address so we can send the card to you. We rely on the address you have provided for delivery. If the address is not correct, the card will be misdirected. The affidavit process affords the intended recipient the opportunity to request the card be resent. Each affidavit is carefully reviewed prior to a decision being made. Because cards are active at the time of mailing, the expense of re-sending a card is on iCARD. As a result, if an incorrect mailing address was provided --or the address on the affidavit is different than the one originally provided --our policy does not allow us to resend a card. Again, sorry for frustration.
After receiving a card from here for my birthday, I tried to redeem it on a online website. I called customer service for help and spoke to a woman named Debbie. She was unbelievably rude. hung up on me, I asked for her boss she responded I am the boss! What a joke! I called back again to ask for corporate and she told me they will no longer be sending me a gift card, and refunded the money back to the person that bought it for me! Never buy from this place, they are scam artists.
I apologize for any rude behavior on behalf of our customer service representatives. That is never acceptable. Our customer service reps work hard to keep our customers satisfied. Unlike other products purchased online, our gift always involves both a purchaser and a recipient. Having two parties in the transaction translates into the potential for more customer issues. Our reps are trained to determine who is online and determine the problem so as to quickly help them. Because we sell a "cash equivalent" product, or "financial instrument", our site is often targeted by fraudsters using stolen credit cards. If our representative suspects fraud or encounters an unruly customer, their only recourse is to cancel the transaction. Unfortunately, online fraudsters cause harm to everyone who shops online, not just to the person from whom they have stolen the credit card info. We apologize if your transaction was mistakenly canceled, and again, rude behavior on the part of a customer service rep is never acceptable.
Almost the EXACT same thing happened to me.
I got this gift card June 15. It's July 13 and this is my second attempt to redeem it, and still nothing. First they were out of PF Changs for 2 weeks, so I cancelled. Now, I've waited over 2 weeks for Maggianos. I asked them to just tell me what they have that's in stock, instead of making me play these waiting games, but they said they do not have a list of their inventory, so I just have to keep trying till I find a something they actually have stock of. I guess the scam is they wear you out so you just give up and they get to keep the money. Based on the other reviews i see here, that's what's going on. Worst gift ever!!!!!!
I am sorry you had a bad experience with iCARD. Our goal is to satisfy our customers. We have two: the purchaser who sent you the gift, and you the recipient who selected your gift card. We manage hundreds of top brand gift cards, and occasionally some of our prepaid inventory items become temporarily out-of-stock (Note: some cards are obtained in real-time, others are in prepaid inventory). Our average turn around time is 3 - 5 business days. We generally don't ask that customers change an order as your previously ordered item is already queued for delivery and this can created additional delays. I apologize you had such difficulty with redemption, and can assure you this is not typical.
Do NOT use this service ever. After trying to redeem a gift card, and not receiving anything for months, not even a notice I called and was told they needed additional info from my gift card sender. When the sender called and gave info. they mailed me my gift card via FEDEX and failed to tell me, so I wasnt home to receive the package, and they provided no assistance nor remorse on the matter.
Like an idiot, I just attempted to order a gift card for my friend through them, and they have charged my card TWICE (telling me BOTH times that there was an error) and my friend has not received her gift card.
Sorry to hear you were not satisfied. What I can tell you is that someone at iCARD did go out of their way to try to satisfy you. I know this because we never FedEx cards as the expense is far too high and it requires pulling an order from the queue and manually fulfilling it. It sounds like the order was flagged by our fraud department. When this happens the recipient is not able to redeem for a gift card until we can verify the purchaser's credit card details. We generally reach out to the purchaser by email, and then phone if they have not responded. Credit card fraud causes a huge cost to online business, creates additional steps to process orders, and harms everyone, not just the person who's credit card was stolen. There is no perfect remedy to deal with online fraud, one can only try to minimize it's impact on its business and its customers. As far as charging your card twice, online transactions are processed through Cybersource gateway owned by Visa. Sometimes transactions fail or process incorrectly. Please call us, we will gladly provide you a refund and correct the error.
I apologize if you felt like you were scammed. That is certainly not the case. Please contact our office immediately and we will rectify the problem or provide you with a refund if one hasn't already been applied. We have been in business for over 15 years thanks to our many customers and value our reputation. Each online transaction is carefully reviewed both programmatically and manually to check for potential credit card fraud. When fraud is suspected, the transaction is marked as "suspicious" and an attempt is made to reach the purchaser to verify credit card details. When an order is flagged as suspicious, the recipient is unable to redeem their iCARD Gift Card until the purchaser's credit card details can be verified. Please contact our office to verify your details or have a refund applied to your card.
My aunt very kindly sent me $100 on ICard Gift Card for Christmas. I tried to redeem some cards for Macy's, but the site said "Further review is required before your code can be redeemed. Please contact our customer service center for assistance." So I called the next day and was immediately attacked by a lady on the other end of the phone. I was even told to "get a life". I still have not received my cards and I doubt I ever will. It has been almost a year and I am starting to give up. The whole situation was a scam. Please do not give these people your business.
I received numerous certificates as moving gifts from friends and business associates. I thought that the idea was great so I attempted to purchase cards for associates I had worked with. WHAT A NIGHTMARE. I placed orders and notifications were sent to the intended parties just to have the order cancelled with no notice to the recipients. How embarrassing. To date I have tried to redeem some of the cards with only one card being redeemable so far. The customer service department is beyond unprofessional and have been of no assistance. This has got to be a huge scam using money you pay to purchase gift cards you can go buy yourself. Save yourself the aggravation and do just that. It is easier and at least you know you will get what you paid for.
There is no excuse for poor customer service. Our reps are available to assist you with any problem from 9am - 5pm CST.Our customer service number is 636-489-4698. What problems exactly are your recipients having redeeming their iCARD Gift Card? With the iCARD Gift Card your recipient receives an immediate notification of their gift by email. They can then choose from hundreds of top brand gift cards to be delivered by email or mail depending on their selection.
My sister gave me the card for my b-d in June. Now is Oct and I STILL didn't receive the gift card yet. I have been changing from stores to stores and every time, they told me it's out of stock. I then asked them if they can give me the stores they have cards available but they refused to give. I will say definitely can't buy the card from them since they are not trustworthy. If you want to buy gift card, buy from famous, big chain store.
BEWARE - DO NOT USE!!!
I bought a gift card on July 3 for my mom. She tried to redeem it and waited 2 weeks before she heard anything. Turns out the Panera Gift Card was out of stock. I can go to Panera down the street and get a gift card. I called Customer Service and told them I was unhappy with the lack of service Jeff said, "What do you want me to do about it?" I said, "Deliver the gift card and an apology would be nice." He said, "An apology for what?" And then he hung up the phone!
Sorry for your poor experience. Did you mother finally receive her Panera Bread gift card in the mail? Unfortunately, as we carry hundreds of brands, we can occasionally run out of inventory. Some cards are in prepaid inventory and others are obtained in real time. When we run out of a card in prepaid inventory it is immediately re-ordered. Typically merchants deliver their card to us within a week. We strive to always keep all of our brands in stock so that we can provide our customers a 3 - 5 day turn around. I apologize your mother did not receive her card in a timely manner. Please let us know if she did not receive the card, and we will be happy to send out another one.
No Ordered gift cards ever sent, always out of stock.
They never send gift cards and don't tell you.
You find out ONLY AFTER you contact them.
They basically have your money and hope you go away!
They take your money and give you nothing in return!
We apologize if you did not receive your gift card in a timely manner. Our aim is to process your order within 3 - 5 business days, but sometimes an card in our prepaid inventory pool is out of stock and must be ordered from the merchant. Typically the card is replenished within a week, depending on the merchants delivery times. Please contact us if you still have not received your card and we will expedite one to you. We have other delivery options, including eGift Cards that can be sent by email.
all of them spoke wirh Debbie.
OMG same experience with Me. Debbie is still there as soon as she answers the phone she begans to attack you. Then she turns around and blame ne saying I'm rude. She spend an entire hoyr answering my questions. She never had lunch. You cabt get one word in. She talks and talks. Them blame me.
im done trying with these people. Someone send me a gift. After I pick a merchant I have yo wait 2-4 business days. So I did this on Thursday. So that business day don't coynt. Its from Friday to Wednesday. So shopping with my gift is out of the question.
I Have never experienced anyone in my life of 59 years. So rude so unknd. So mean. Its do sad. Then she blames me of being rude.
card. If I don't received my cards by the end of the year. I will contact the better business Bureau.
The first time I spoke with Debbie sge was so rude she made it seems like it was all me. I even call her back and apolgize.
But then today I call to adk a question omg I was immediately attacked by her.
Then she call the recipient and complain how rude I was to her. How can anyone be a Supervisor and not have any Custome Service etiquette.
Please think carefully before you invest your hard earn dollars. Please.
I received a $75 icardgiftcard as a Xmas gift. I placed my order in march. I decided on a Starbucks ecard because I wanted something quickly and in my experience any time I've ordered an electronic gift card it is sent instantly. However if you look at the how it works part of the site it says it takes 2-3 days. Well, only after I placed the order did I see it would be emailed to me within 10 BUSINESS days. I called a few times after the 3rd day and was told about the ten day thing, and that they where waiting on the merchants to send them the disk with the gift card codes on it.
On April 11 I received my email with a LINK to the codes (RED FLAG!). The link took me to a page that told me to click a button. The button took me to a page that said "inventory loading" and the a message that my card was out of stock. (A ploy to buy time and wear me out.) IF YOU'VE SENT ME AN EMAIL TO A LINK WITH A CARD THAT'S BEEN EARMARKED FOR ME, HOW IS IT OUT OF STOCK?! So I call customer service AGAIN. She informed me its a technical issue. It's about this time that I realize I've only ever spoken with one lady. The same lady every time. She tells me to keep clicking the link. Just keep trying. I of course keep trying like there's some magical number of time you need to hit it before you get it. By this time I'd read reviews, so it actually seemed plausible to me. Like they might set it to 200x hoping most people would give up. I call the customer service just about every other day checking on the progress. I am always nice and always try to be understanding and considerate.
Well, I decided to try again today (4/18) and imagine my surprise when I see a page come up with the Starbucks logo! There was my gift card. I printed out the page which said to redeem it at Starbucks. I was so excited! I almost called the customer service line to thank her, but decided to wait to do so until I had the card.
I take the paper to Starbucks where I am told it is NOT any kind of code they use. It was a 16 digit code of lower case and uppercase letters with one number and an 8 digit pin that was similar. The Starbucks manager said they didn't even have a way to enter letters into their system. He advised me to call cust svc once again, and even let me use their land line because he didn't want me to have to call the long distance # (not 800#) on my cell.
SHE TOLD ME THEY DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH RUDE PEOPLE. SHE WAS CANCELING MY ORDER. When I told her she couldn't do that, she informed me that she could and that she'd be refunding the money to the senders credit card. She said "you are a vulgar rude lady and I am gonna make sure you don't get anything. I'm calling the sender and telling them everything you just said. Goodbye rude lady" and hung up.
Now I'm completely empty handed. Which probably would've happened anyway.
First let me apologize for your dissatisfaction with our service. We are in business to deliver smiles, not frowns. You received your iCARD Gift Card right around the time we implemented a new electronic delivery system. This system added over one hundred electronic eGift Cards to our inventory, in addition to our plastic cards. When your redeem for an eGift Card, you will receive an email with a link. Clicking on the link downloads the eGift Card. Some of these are obtained in real-time, in which case you can experience a time out. Others, are served up from our prepaid inventory database and can occasionally be out of stock until they are replenished, however, that is typically not the case. As for confusion at the retailer with the code, it sounds like somehow you showed them the iCARD Gift Card claim code, not the merchant's gift card number. An iCARD Gift Card claim code is comprised of 8 digits and 8 alpha characters. A merchants gift card number is typically 16-digits. I did review the order and the record shows the purchase transaction was cancelled and funds were credited back to the purchaser. Again I apologize for your poor experience, and it goes without saying that rude behavior from either a customer service rep or a customer is never warranted.
This seems like a good idea and probably could be but this company seems to be ran a idiots. Many unheard of companies to chose from and the ones you might of heard of are no longer available. Their web site lists "know" companies but you can not purchase from them. I was told web site has not been updated in "awhile". Either it was a scam from the start or the big "know" companies did not want anything to do with iCard.
Then the worst part, they send you the gift card via "snail mail". Really??? Why not send the card via email like everyone else? I was advised by Fraud Investigator iCard is counting on you not using the entire amount and by sending you the actual card iCard can redeem the left over amount at a later date.
Customer service is nonexistent. They do not answer the phone during business hours and never call back if you leave a message.
Sorry you are not a satisfied customer. What exactly is the complaint? We carry hundreds of top brands including iTunes, Starbuck, and Macy's. Go to icardgiftcard.com and click on View All Merchants to see an accurate and up to date list. Over 1/3 of our merchants are indeed electronic eGift Cards sent by email. That said, plastic cards are still far more popular with our customers. As for the info about iCARD keeping left over funds on the merchant's plastic cards, that is not true. The merchant, not iCARD, has those funds. Have a great day!
They claim an email certificate from Barnes and Noble is backordered. How can an email be backordered? Barnes and Noble says they send out such the moment they receive payment, which leads me to believe ICARD is either out of money or floating a pyramid scheme.
Did you receive your Barnes & Noble eGift Card? If not, please contact our office and we will take care of it. We strive to turn around redemptions within 3 - 5 business days, but sometimes cards are out of stock. Some of our electroic codes are obtained in real-time, others are in our prepaid inventory database. B&N is prepaid and when it's out of stock must be re-ordered from them. Their turn around time is around a week. Even codes obtained in real-time from the merchant's processor cannot be delivered to our customer in real time because of fraud checks. We have found that delivering codes on the third business day after redemption is a good balance between the customers desire for immediate satisfaction and iCARD's need to perform fraud checks and manage it's business efficiently and securely.
Ordered 2 gift cards for Christmas 2012. Supposed to be delivered via e-mail to my family members. After 1 week no e-mails in inbox or junk folders. What an embarrassment to explain to family that I actually did get them something for Christmas but was scammed.
One more thing... please know the iCARD Gift Card never expires and can be redeemed at any time.
I know it's frustrating to purchase a gift thinking it has been delivered only later to learn that your recipient did not get it. Unfortunately, our inbox's are cluttered with spam and filters often remove wanted emails. You can always print your iCARD Gift Card as a paper certificate for hand parcel post delivery. You can also log into your account and resend your iCARD Gift Card to your recipient by email. Additionally, our cs reps are happy to assist you with this.
worth company ever, all they are a bunch of scam artist.Taking in all the money they can and not delievering service.
Are you the purchaser or the recipient? Please let us know what went wrong with your order and we will correct it. Our customer service reps are available 9 - 5 CST M-F at 636-489-4698.
I never dealt with such stupid system. Look at this situation.
Didn't get them after a long time.
Call them to fix the issue.
They sent a two page document (like a legal) to sign.
Did that. try to fax to the number provided. But the fax number doesn't work.
I scanned the document and emailed.
After few hours getting a reply from a customer rep saying the file size is too big for them to handle.
The customer rep says.. "Cannot Do that".
Sorry for the "nonsense". When a purchaser sends you the thoughtful gift of an iCARD Gift Card, they are giving you two things: a personalized eCard delivered instantly (or scheduled for future delivery) and the power to choose the gift cards you the recipient want. As the recipient you get to claim your iCARD Gift Card for the gift card(s). Some are electronic some are plastic. Plastic cards are delivered via USPS first-class mail. We scan all cards so that we have a record of their delivery. If lost in the mail (it happens), we ask you to complete an affidavit and fax it in (email is OK too - sounds like our rep was emailed challenged - sorry). We ask for this affidavit because we have already delivered the product and if we resend the card (which we will do) it is at our expense. As far as cancelling an order is concerned, certainly that can be done by a dissatisfied purchaser, but not legally by the recipient who did not pay for the order. Hope that makes sense.
Please elaborate or contact our office to discuss your problem. I looked up your order. It shows a redemption for CB2 on 4/5 with a ship date of 4/8.
Impossible to contact company. Their rquirement that I submit a notarized affidavit via FAX ONLY because they failed to send--or I didn't receive $75 merchant card by US Mail is unreasonable.
The contact called back and said the have NO RECORD OF THE MERCHANT CARDS SHE ALLEGES WERE SENT ON JAN 11, 2011 AND THAT I MUST PAY TO HAVE AN AFFIDAVIT NOTARIZED AND RETURNED.
Our contact info can be found on our website at www.icardgiftcard.com under the help section. We are available M-F 9-5 CST at 636-489-4698. Our number hasn't changed for 16 years!
Our record shows your Macy's card was redeemed on 12/28 and mailed on 1/10. When a customer calls as you did on 2/10 to inform us that a card was not received, we research the record in both our manager panel and scanned card database which tracks every card that goes out the door. When we find that we indeed delivered the card as stated, we will resend the card. But since this is being done at our expense, we require the customer complete our affidavit. Our records indicate you refused to do that so we did not send out another card. Please contact us if you change your mind.
I received a gft through this Company. I call customer service to ask a few question since it was a bit complicated to understand. I was going shopping yesterday with my friends and thought I could use the egift cards immediately.
OMG the e oman I spoke with. Was the rudest person I have ever encounter in my life.
What kind of nonsense is this. We have modern technology. Why should one have to wait so many days to receive an email.
I don't like all this nonsense. You should be able to just print it out and use.
I received an egift card for macy I was able to just print it out and use it.
This Company is a BIG Scam.
I plan on contacting the better business Bureau on this Company.
The k erchant I selected was game stop and ITunes. It says I have to wait 2-4 business days to receive an email confirmation.
I'm going to also try to see if the money of my gift can be returned to sender.
I refuse to deal with all this nonsense.
I chose $50 Sephora iCARD as a reward for a survey taking website. The whole process is bloated and illogical. I finally got an email with a link supposedly for my gift card. So I follow the link to a page with a button that I clicked just to learn "Sorry", technical difficulties, card can't be accessed at this time. I check FAQ's that say this is because either my card is out of stock or their inventory fulfillment is offline. Try again later, contact if nothing in 7 days. 7 days? WTF. First of all, the "Status" of this gift card in my account is "SENT" (they have the "ON ORDER" Status option, why not choose this [assuming this makes sense that an email code is out of stock, as someone mentioned]). My journey has just begun, but from what I can tell by others' reviews (which my experience thus far confirms!) could be a long one! So far, not very encouraged. I would say avoid at all costs! Read: DO NOT GIVE ICARD SERVICES your business. Oh! One other thing: DO CHECK OUT THEIR PROFILES WITH THE BBB: F, F and F.
Sorry you are not happy with your order. Did you receive your Sephora card? Our records show you redeemed on 9/17 and the link was emailed, "sent", to you 4 business days later on 9/23. We also show a call to customer service from you on 9/24. Some electronic codes are obtained in real-time from the merchant's processor, others like Sephora are part of our prepaid inventory pool. Prepaid inventory can run out in which case we reorder from the merchant and it usually takes about a week to restock it. I know it can be frustrating to click on the link and not retrieve your card. Please know this is generally not the case. By the way, Sephora is being converted this week to real-time inventory!
Company provided bad links to redeem cards-will not respond to emails-mail sent to their email address provided is returned as Unknown Domain. Scam operation?
No response to emails re additional $35 in cards.
As for the bad link, there are several reasons this might occur, but it is rare. In any case, we are happy to rectify the situation. Please give us a call. Thanks.
Sorry you are not pleased, but rest assured we are not scamming anyone. Our office hours are M-F 9-5 CST. We can be reached at the same number for the last 16 years at 636-489-4698. We prefer to be contacted by phone versus email, and our automated email reply informs customers of this.
Still trying to get the gift card they "issued" by e-mail over three weeks ago....65 calls to their service center so far and still waiting for an answer other than a prerecorded message to call back later. If you think icard gift card is a charity...then, by all means, purchase something. If not then avoid like the plague. A "1" is too generous a review rating in my opinion.
You will never ever get your gift card, but you will be charged right away. You can't contact them, they will never answer you emails, they have no submit button in a web contact form :)))) Then you will call then to ask what is going on, they will hang out on you. I should call my bank to cancel the transaction! Spend even more time!!
Are you the purchaser or the recipient? Did your recipient not receive the iCARD Gift Card, or did you not get the gift cards you redeemed for? Our cs reps are available M-F from 9-5CST at 636-489-4698 to help you. We prefer phone calls to emails and our automated reply gives you a list of FAQs and informs you of this.
Will never buy from again!
Absolutely avoid! Purchased an Icard gift card. The recipient wanted a Macy gift card. The site clearly stated that the card could be used either in store or online. Received the gift card via email and was told that I purchased an online-ONLY gift card- could not use in-store. NOT!!! Customer service rep had a big attitude and tried to insist upon what happened prior to even looking up my purchase!!
Sorry you were displeased with our service. We do offer two types of Macy's cards. One is physical and is mailed to you. This card can be used both online and in-store. We also offer a Macy's electronic card that can only be used online. This is the one you selected. Good news! We are working with Macy's to replace both cards with a new one that is electronic and works both online and in-store. Please use coupon code 5OFFNOW to receive a 5% discount on your next purchase.
It took exactly 8 days from the time I redeemed the card online (i exchanged my survey points for a $25 iCard) to the time I actually got the email saying my gift card was ready. I thought I'd have a headache going through the entire process, having read all the reviews, but it's good they now send all gift card links and codes via email. I got my gift card code about 10 minutes ago, didn't have issues using it and now I'm just waiting for my B&N order which should be here in a couple of days! So happy with their service, thanks iCard!
Wow. That's incredible that you got your gift card so fast. I placed an order last month and was finally sent an email with my code a week ago, which turned out to be a bad link. Finally got my gift card codes today and Starbucks said they have never had gift cards with letters in them, that my card code was worthless. When I called iCard to ask about it they canceled my order and hung up on me. Either you're VERY lucky or you are an employee.
Not bad for a quick gift. A little confusing but once you get the hang of it it works pretty well, customer service was a bit rude but overall not hard to get a hold of. Wouldn't do it again but like I said if you need a quick insta-gift go for it.
Thank you for your purchase. I apologize if you experience a rude customer service rep. This is never acceptable. Please use promo code 5OFFNOW to receive 5% off your next purchase.
Thank you for your comment and purchase. We now carry around 300 top brand merchants like iTunes, Starbucks, and Macy's. We offer both plastic as well as electronic eGift Cards and best of all the recipient gets to choose the cards they want!

Some would say that the highest celebrity honor is earning a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, casting your handprints in a namesake slab of cement—but we think there's a form of immortalization that beats even that: having a doll made in your likeness.
Throughout the years, Mattel and fellow toy companies have turned the most high-profile American figures into plastic toys for pop culture-obsessed children, adults, and doll collectors.
Want to see Katy Perry and J.Lo share a stage? Make Ava DuVernay and Zendaya work on a film together? Thanks to Mattel, it can be done (sort of).
Most recently, the company created a Barbie in Ashley Graham's likeness, which the plus-sized model ensured was made sans thigh-gap. But Graham is far from the first to receive such an honor—the tradition has been in place since 1967, when Twiggy was introduced to the Barbie family.

Intro: Honduras does not come up as a gay mecca on any scale and I expected as much. But to my pleasant surprise I found the capital, Tegucigalpa, to be home to a bustling community of LGBT groups and activists. All it took was connecting with the right person who knew just about everything and everyone. So I was escorted to the half dozen beehives where LGBT life is alive and well–despite the political chaos.
Intro: The small country of El Salvador has seen it share of politcal, economic and social troubles, like other Central American nations. But for the past fifteen years, undaunted by threats, hackers and preachers, the single LGBT organization in El Salvador, Entre Amigos (Among Friends), has endured with determination and compassion thanks to help from benefactors such as Elton John. Today Entre Amigos is a beacon of light for many gay souls in this homophobic culture. But gay life can also feel good, as testified by a young lover called Ricky.
Richard Ammon, GlobalGayz.com December 17, 2009 Once again we are humbled and infuriated that yet another courageous gay activist has been gunned down for his human rights work. In a previous blog we considered the irrational persecution and killing of LGBT (gay) people across the world and how human fear and hatred make us inhumane.
Intro: In a conservative corner of the Caribbean/Central American lies quiet Belize, passed up by most of the world. But for some wise expats and knowing natives, this patch of earth offers a mellow life not found elsewhere. Despite some poverty and violence of Belize City–40 kms across the bay– the modest town of San Pedro offers a place of calm and natural beauty for a community of LGBT residents.

Brazil seizes the Americas Cup: This is the victory of European football, but it is the loss of South American football.
nogometni dresovi IntroductionWith the excellent play of ITs and Everton, the host Brazilian team finally took the Americas Cup champion trophy in front of his motherland. This is the Brazilian football once again seized a weight-winning champion trophy after 2012, which is also a Brazilian adult team once again in the Americas after winning the championship in 2007. For this day, Brazil's football has been waiting for 12 years. However, after cheering, we will find that this American Cup is actually the victory of European tactical football, but not the victory of South American football. It can even be said that South America's passionate football has been unsubstably completely eliminated in today's world football.
First, the main attack group is basically the elderly, and the technical tactics are mainly practical.
In the big list of this Brazilian national team, the number of local nationals is further compressed. The Hertus, Phikino, Kicketon is the main team of the European Champion League, only one Everton in the attack group comes from the Gremo team. The two major cores on the latter defense, the door will be Alicon, and the defender Arvis is the goalkeeper of the Champions League championship, and the other is the main side guards of the front Champions League champion team Barcelona. From tactics, the overall tactics of the Brazilian team is based on rigorous tactical discipline and simple and simple, similar to the fancy breakthrough in Lao Luo is less common.
Second, Argentina eliminated Chile, Messi + Aguero combination crown
In addition to the Brazilian team to win the championship, in the quarterly battle, Messi and Aguo's excellent play to help the Argentina won a bronze medal. In the contest, Aguiro showed the performance of the rule on the front line. Although Messi did not play, every time I passed a big trouble for the Chile team. Argentina broke the deadlock, Messi first staged a breakthrough of 1 to 3, followed by the sudden free kick to find Aguoo Assistant to help the goal. In this goal, Messi's breakthrough, the key to the key, only Aguiro will always intend to intent. It can be seen that European football thinking has been crushed throughout the Americas at the tactical level.
Third, the American football in recent years is the fact that the Brazilian team walks correctly.
The American Cup and the previous World Cup, even the women's football World Cup of this year proved that European speech disciplines in Europe is the key to improving team fighting power. Since Deng Jia Times, the Brazil has begun to take Europe's tactical football route. Although the passion of the past, the entire tactics also make people feel some turtles, machinery, but from the performance of this American Cup, Brazilian team The direction of tactical reform is undoubtedly correct. This is also the practice of pain after the Brazilian team defending the World Cup championship. Can South American football eventually regain the glory of the past, depending on the firmness of the American football European chemical tactical reform. Brazil's victory in this American Cup, in fact, European tactical football is a thorough victory for the American personal passion football.
From this perspective, the Brazilian team is probably the next World Cup cycle, the closer to billige fodbold toejthe World Cup champion, no one.

The Natural Stone Council (NSC) is a collaboration of businesses and trade associations that have come together to promote the use of Genuine Stone® in commercial and residential applications. By pooling resources, their goal is to increase the understanding of, preference for, and consumption of these natural products. Trade associations affiliated with the NSC include Allied Stone Industries, Elberton Granite Association, Indiana Limestone Institute, Natural Stone Institute, National Building Granite Quarries Association, National Slate Association., New York State Bluestone Association, Pennsylvania Bluestone Association, and the Natural Stone Alliance.
The Natural Stone Council is committed to supporting sustainable initiatives and innovations at all levels of the production of Genuine Stone® products. As such, the NSC has established a Sustainability Committee made up of key industry members to elevate the issue of sustainability within the industry and provide a body responsible for planning and implementing relevant initiatives. In 2007, the NSC Sustainability Committee engaged in a partnership with the Center for Clean Products (CCP) at the University of Tennessee to assess current industry operations relating to dimensional stone production. In 2011, the NSC Sub-committee further reviewed and updated this document. The best practices identified and presented in this document are a direct result of the NSC and CCP's efforts to identify and improve the environmental profile of the natural stone industry.
This document is intended to establish guiding principles for the stakeholders as "Best Practices" in our industry and IS NOT intended to serve as a reference standard.
Extracting stone can be an arduous endeavor that affects the local ecosystem and community on a number of levels. Not unlike any development (commercial, residential, government, etc.), quarry operations can greatly modify landscape and topography, can impact wildlife populations, and require supplemental quantities of water and energy. Additionally, potential occupational health and safety risks may exist for quarry employees, and local residents may experience noise and vibrations. Responsible site maintenance, however, can make a remarkable difference in the magnitude of these impacts.
Quarry locations are determined by the location of geologic deposits. This can result in quarry sites that are established close to human habitation, or development may occur after establishment of the quarry site. Blasting, cutting, and truck traffic contribute to noise, vibration, and dust that may impact local residents. Further, the public may protest the unfavorable aesthetics and the safety hazards posed by stone piles and quarry holes. By following best practices, these effects on quarry neighbors and the negative perceptions held by the general public can be better understood and mitigated.
A quarry can provide jobs for the local population, and the work can be physically demanding and potentially hazardous. Airborne particulates, the use of heavy machinery and haul trucks, and the size and weight of the cut stone blocks are potential dangers to health and safety. The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) provides policies and regulations to maintain quarry workers' safety and well-being, but additional site guidelines may be set forth by each quarry operator. The practices advocated in this document provide some of those additional suggestions or options.
Stone quarrying, if executed without regard to surrounding ecosystems and geologic conditions, could disrupt the balance of wildlife, plant life, and water bodies in the area. For instance, removal of native vegetation coupled with alteration of topography can generate erosion problems, and site runoff can impact local waterways. The former may impede daily operations, while the latter may lead to regulatory fines. It is essential, therefore, that quarry plans be developed with an emphasis on limiting habitat loss, waterway damage, erosion, pollution, noise, and vibrations. Additionally, quarry closures should be implemented under a reclamation plan that addresses practical ground slope modifications, utilization of vegetation and general site maintenance. In many cases, "abandoned" quarry sites are incorporated into new parks and entertainment venues providing long term benefits to the public.
Reduction in cleanup costs: Proactive site maintenance over the life of the quarry reduces the time and money spent on site cleanup when the quarry closes; reclaiming a well-maintained site is less laborious than restoring one with a poor preservation plan.
Reduction in fuel costs: Reducing machine idling durations, maintaining infrastructure, and optimizing haul distances reduce fuel consumption and thus expenses.
Increase in employee safety & morale: Employees that feel safe at work are more likely to make a greater personal investment in the company.
Generation of revenue: Site maintenance, interim restoration, and final rehabilitation can increase land value for future leasing and/or sale. Additionally, overburden and sludge may be sold for use in road construction and agricultural applications (see best practice document on Water Consumption, Treatment, and Reuse).
Increased efficiency: A clean and well-organized quarry site can increase production efficiency by ensuring open paths and roadways, reducing debris, and increasing the safety of employees.
Enhancement of company reputation: Adequate maintenance and rehabilitation practices can result in greater community acceptance of the quarry and respect for the company. A company with a reputation for being socially responsible is likely to retain current customers and attract new ones.
As described above, effective site maintenance and quarry closure benefit quarry operations by reducing costs and promoting a healthier and safer work area. MSHA, OSHA, and other state regulating bodies have enacted laws to manage occupational risks, and the practices recommended here are intended to not only build upon those stipulations but also to provide direction for quarries operating in states that have not promulgated more stringent legislation. As such, the NSC recommends that every quarry establish a site maintenance and closure plan that addresses at least the topics identified in this report, as well as applicable government regulations.
Replace blasting with the use of wire saws, belt saws, and expanding mortar where possible.
When blasting is necessary, use the minimum amount of explosive material coupled with micro-sequential detonation to reduce vibrations (Rustan 1998), and follow all Federal, State, and local regulations.
Detonate explosives only during times of the day designated by the local Department of Commerce or other regulatory body, and sufficiently notify nearby occupants of any routine blasting schedule.
Ensure that all saws and drilling machines have adequate dust catchment or air filtration systems, particularly when the machines are situated in a confined or enclosed area where air flow is limited. Water mists may be used conservatively to remove airborne particulates.
Cover with a tarp trucks hauling loose material.
Retain as much native vegetation as possible throughout the quarry's operation. Root structures help maintain soil stability, while tall vegetation—particularly trees— can act as a filter.
Petroleum product use is a concern from both an economic and an environmental standpoint. With regard to the former, petroleum products are not inexpensive, and improper management can lead to inefficient consumption and even spills, both resulting in additional expenses to replenish quarry supplies. Moreover, petroleum products can have deleterious effects on terrestrial and aquatic organisms via a number of pathways; ingestion can be poisonous, while sheens of oil on surface water can reduce gas transmission and suffocate oxygen-dependent aquatic organisms (Leighton 2000). MSHA and the EPA provide regulations for spill prevention and response plans, as well as useful information for heavy equipment management. Website resources are listed below.
Minimize idling time for machines to reduce fuel waste and emissions. Systems like an auxiliary power unit (APU) or direct-fired heater (DFH) preserve cab temperature and power electrical accessories while the engine is turned off (Storey et al. 2003). Contact your heavy equipment vendor to learn about technologies offered.
Calculate your cost savings when you reduce your idling time: https://www.anl.gov.
Minimize transport distances by designing the quarry with haul distance economy in mind.
Consider using an engine-retrofitting system to reduce fuel use and decrease carbon emissions. When purchasing equipment, prioritize the selection of more energy efficient models. Contact your heavy equipment vendor to learn about technologies offered.
Perform proper maintenance intervals to insure equipment is operating at optimal efficiencies.
Establish and implement an equipment maintenance plan to avoid petroleum leaks and spills.
Recycle motor oil and other lubricants used to maintain machinery. Visit your community's web page or http://earth911.org to find a nearby location for motor oil recycling drop-off. Additional disposal and recycling information can be found on the EPA's website at https://www.epa.gov/recycle.
Care should be taken to minimize the operational footprint at the quarry site. . It is advised that each quarry establish a maintenance and conservation plan to sustain site integrity. The strategy may include the goals described below, among others, as appropriate for the quarry of interest.
Maintaining organization and general tidiness at the quarry allows for efficiency in daily task performance, creates a less hazardous work environment, and portrays a sense of corporate responsibility to site visitors, potential customers, and neighbors. Recycling and reusing materials may reduce garbage haul fees or generate income through the sale of scrap metal and old equipment. The NSC best practice document on Waste Management expands on the recommendations provided in this section.
Designate areas for scrap stone storage, and plan for its sale, removal, or later use as fill material (see Operations Waste section below).
Designate secure areas for trash disposal and recycling bins; ensure that all waste is properly removed from the site.
Attempt to recycle or reuse any waste including worn machine parts, packaging materials, water, motor oil, and even slurry or sludge; the NSC best practice document on Water Consumption, Treatment, and Reuse further explains potential uses of wastewater sludge.
Maintain topsoil in any areas not in use.
Maintain maximum existing vegetation coverage, and replant any areas not in use, especially to either side of haul roads.

Government of Ontario – Ministry of Agriculture, Food & Rural Affairs: http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca.
Maintaining the area adjacent to the quarry will not only enhance the operation's image as one that is environmentally-considerate but may, in turn, prove operationally and fiscally advantageous. Benefits that may be seen are explained below along with suggestions about how to conserve ecosystems.
Keep disturbed area as small as possible, and ensure vehicles keep to the designated paths.
Research local wildlife populations to understand any issues with threatened or endangered species in the region. Regulations regarding endangered species and their habitats are located on the US Fish & Wildlife Service's Endangered Species Program webpage: http://www.fws.gov/endangered.
If surface water diversion is necessary, take care to ensure that downstream ecosystems, residential areas, and water supplies are not impaired.
Minimize removal of native vegetation. As explained previously, plant life aids in soil stability and overall ecosystem health.
Planning for closure and restoration from the beginning of an operation makes the process easier. Site rehabilitation can make the land more valuable and attractive for resale. Additionally, establishing a closure strategy (and communicating that activity to the public) can help enhance the company's reputation as a socially-responsible operation.
Upon closure, the quarry site should be cleared of any materials that would not naturally be found in the area. This should not be difficult if best practices are maintained throughout the life of the quarry. Ensure that all trash and recycling is removed as well as any machine parts and packaging material. Scrap stone can be sold, used as refill or landscaping, crushed for other applications (such as concrete production), or otherwise dealt with responsibly. Additional information can be found in the NSC best practice on waste management.
Scrap stone and overburden, materials native to the quarry, should be used to help restore the site. The amount of scrap, however, may be insufficient to completely satisfy the needs. As such, other options exist to reclaim the site.
Overburden, rock, or gravel from other sites can be used to landscape the site.
Water may be used to create a recreational fishing or swimming location. However, safety-related signage is recommended in order to ensure the welfare of patrons. Adequate understanding of local groundwater system and exposed geology is also required to maintain water quality and level.
In order to effectively repopulate a quarry site, several items must be considered. Of paramount importance is the type of species to be planted. Species planted on slopes must grow quickly enough to prevent soil erosion. To ensure effective replanting and reforesting, a quarry closure plan should thoroughly discuss a revegetation approach.
Responsible quarry management includes implementation of economic, safe, and environmentally-considerate operations. Preserving and repairing site integrity over the course of the quarry's life generates a smaller need for human resources and land restoration—ultimately implying a lower financial burden—at the time of closure. . By employing the best practices explored in this document, stone quarry operators will not only realize these benefits but also improve the overall public perception of quarrying practices.

PENSION ACT AMENDMENT
Right Hon. R. B. BENNETT (Prime Minister) moved the second reading of Bill No. 127, to amend the Pension Act. Motion agreed to and the house went into committee thereon, Mr. MacDonald (Cape Breton South) in the chair. On section 1-
Richard Bedford Bennett (Prime Minister; President of the Privy Council; Secretary of State for External Affairs)
Conservative (1867-1942)
Mr. BENNETT:
Several difficulties have arisen in connection with this act, to which the attention of the house has been directed on more than one occasion by several hon. members, noticeably by the hon. member for Shelburne-Yarmouth (Mr. Ralston) and the hon. member for Vancouver Centre (Mr. Mackenzie). A difficulty arose some months ago and the government concluded that men were being deprived of rights without an opportunity to present their case in accordance with the well-known principle which has been established by judicial decisions in the courts of last resort. We felt that it was
illegal to deprive a man of his rights without affording him an opportunity to be heard, and we so indicated to the commission. As is known to the committee, they ultimately undertook to restore to their former positions those whose rights had been taken from them and proceedings or hearings were instituted to enable the parties affected to present their cases. I understand that that	has not been wholly satisfactory
because of an attitude of mind, if I may use that term, which existed w'ith respect to some of the problems. I have had the advantage of discussing this matter fully with those who officially represent the pensioners of the country in more than one of the organizations which we have in Canada. They are all anxious to avoid friction as much as possible and to improve the administration of pensions to the greatest possible extent. It is believed that with the aid of a judge acting as chief commissioner and the application of the well-known rule that he who asserts must prove the administration would be relieved of much of the difficulty which now exists. We could not have a long discussion with respect to various cases which might be misunderstood in many quarters, but we have concluded that the situation might be met by endeavouring to deal with the difficult cases in the manner I have indicated and by the application of the general rule of our jurisprudence. I have mentioned that he who asserts must prove, and that the presumptions which arise from a long-continued living together in a community of a man and a woman of repute could not be overcome except by the application of the rules of evidence as applied in the way I have just indicated. This cannot continue longer than a few months in any event, and it is believed that it affords an opportunity by administration to solve the difficulties which have been the cause of a great deal of concern. I should like to convey my thanks to the hon. gentlemen I have named for giving me an opportunity to discuss this matter with them.
Topic: QUESTIONS
Subtopic: PENSION ACT AMENDMENT
Ian Alistair Mackenzie
Mr. MACKENZIE (Vancouver):
Mr. Chairman, I have only a word or two to say with regard to this bill. I am personally in favour of the bill. My only reservation is the fact that on February 13 when this question was raised we received an announcement by the Prime Minister which was welcomed all through Canada. This matter was referred to the Department of Justice to see whether the hardships which resulted from a too rigid administration of the act could be met by administration or whether legislation
Pension Act
would be necessary. It has been suggested in many quarters that legislation might be necessary. There will be an interval of at least six or seven months, in all probability, before parliament meets again, and the suggestion has been made to me that possibly the act could be amended to provide that where entitlement has once been conceded, this should not be subject to alteration or reversal except on the specific ground of deliberate fraud. This would protect the marriage cases which have merit and which now stand as reinstated. It would also provide protection for all classes of entitlement cases in the future. This proposal is directly in line with the British practice and the rights of the applicant, of course, would stand as they are at present.
There is another point which has arisen and which has caused some elements of dissatisfaction. I think .there should be a definite delineation of the functions of the auditor general in regard to pensions. It should be made clear that findings of law or fact within the statutory jurisdiction conferred upon the commission should not be subject to question by the auditor general. The Prime Minister (Mr. Bennett) has referred to the attitude of mind of some people, and this undoubtedly has caused some trouble. In regard to other cases which arose somewhat recently a direction was given as to the policy of the pensions commission, and I think it would be very advisable in this case that a direction should be given to whoever is appointed under the bill to give these marriage cases every possible consideration upon their merits, and *that there should not be an unduly biased attitude of mind with regard to their disposal.
James Layton Ralston
Mr. RALSTON:
Like the hon. member
for Vancouver Centre (Mr. Mackenzie) I am disposed to try the method of administration. I must say that I do so with some reluctance as I have expressed myself in this house on more than one occasion as feeling that that means could not be entirely satisfactory, particularly for the class whose interest I was specially representing, until a change can be made in the Pension Act. It seemed to me that in view of the fact that the attitude of the board of pension commissioners was what it was, plus the fact that the auditor general had seemed to consider he had a right to go there and question decisions of the board, the position of pensioners and of their dependents was extremely precarious under any administrative regulations. However, the Prime Minister has endeavoured to meet the situation with regard to the matter of personnel and I am disposed, if there is any
difficulty about passing legislation, or if it is considered that legislation is not necessary, to try out an attempted revision of administration-and by administration I mean, not simply clerical work but the principles on which these pension cases are decided. I join with what my hon. friend from Vancouver Centre has said in suggesting to the Prime Minister that, in order to make the situation as definite as possible without legislation, the government or the minister indicate to the board of pension commissioners the principles on -which they are prepared to have the board decide, particularly the marriage cases, and in fact any cases where there is a question as to the basis of entitlement. I suggested, in connection with the commission with which I had to do a good many years ago, that there should be no difficulty whatever in regard to these pension cases, because it seemed to me that the board of pension commissioners were pretty well advised as to what the views of parliament and of the country were, and that when they struck a snag in connection with the act, all they had to do was to go to the government of the day and intimate to them that something unforeseen, something not contemplated had arisen, and I felt sure they would have directions from the government to carry out administratively what was the intention of parliament, leaving it to the next session of parliament to amend the act. That, I submit, can be done here, and if the board of pension commissioners approach the matter in the right spirit, guided by a declaration as to the intention of parliament as we understand it, namely, that entitlement to pension should not be disturbed in cases where they have been paid, unless there has been deliberate fraud, then it seems to me that with that declaration the board of pension commissioners can proceed on firm ground. And if it is found in administering the act that there are cases in which there is too much generosity, that can be easily dealt with when parliament meets. I rather believe, however, that the trouble will have been settled if the principle I suggest is adopted, and it will be found that we have been doing just exactly what parliament intended and what the people of the country desire. Therefore, with that understanding, I accept the amendment which is proposed in this act and I am willing to accept the Prime Minister's suggestion that an attempt be made to carry out the Pension Act and deal by way of administrative action with the cases in connection with which there has been hardship. Subject to these two reservations I accept the Prime Minister's suggestion, two reservations
with which I think the Prime Minister will agree: The first is that there should be a definite declaration by the government or the board as to the principles on which they are expected to proceed in connection with any proposal to change the basis of entitlement, and secondly, if that administration does not result satisfactorily between now and next session, that the act be amended accordingly and made retroactive.
Arthur Edward Ross
Mr. ROSS:
I support some of the statements just made. If the Prime Minister had been at home at the time I brought this matter to the attention of the government last November-and December, pointing out to them that a campaign was under way along this line, perhaps a good deal of suffering and injustice might have been prevented. But the acting Prime Minister at that time said to me that no action could be taken nor any change made. There is another matter to be considered in addition to the marriage question, and that is the practice of going back on medical records to discover some little point on which they can upset a pension. I might bring to the attention of the Prime Minister one example. A certain ex-service man had received a pension for epilepsy. In reviewing the case an official of the board found that he had suffered from dizziness when _ eleven years old and therefore it was decided that his pension for epilepsy must be discontinued. There is nothing more ridiculous in the whole history of pensions than that example, but it is only one of very many.
I trust that, as the last speaker said, a declaration will be made by the government, or a gesture from this House of Commons, which will bring about a different attitude of mind towards the treatment of these cases.
Alfred Speakman
Mr. SPEAKMAN:
In common with other hon. members who have spoken, and having been made familiar with the situation, I had hoped for and looked forward to the introduction of some specific legislation to correct the point at issue. I realized however that that might be very difficult and further that it was the almost unanimous opinion of returned men's associations and of this house that the legislation itself as at present on the statutes was fairly just and satisfactory, the question being rather one of administration. That being so, I am prepared to accept the present amendment, trusting that a change in administration in these respects will bring about the results for which we have been looking. I do not think there is any question, from expressions of opinion in this house from time to time, as to the general view of parliament on these matters and the feeling that this law should be interpreted and administered in a reasonably sympathetic manner and not in a manner which would open it wide to unreasonable application. What is needed is a sympathetic interpretation in accordance with the intent of the various committees of parliament that have studied the subject and of parliament itself as a whole, and that intent as expressed by different members leaves no room for doubt in the matter. I assume that these peculiar cases, where they have been in good standing for many years and w-here recently a change has been made or suggested without additional evidence having been adduced, and in regard to which the attitude of the pension board has been so strongly criticized, will be dealt with by the acting chairman and dealt with, I hope, in a sympathetic manner in accordance with what I conceive to be the obvious intent of parliament, expressed so frequently in committee and in the house, as to the real meaning of the act. If that is done, I think the bulk of the trouble will be obviated. And if we then find that administration alone, however sympathetic or judicially proper, does not serve to correct one or two difficulties that still remain, it will be time at the next session for an amending act to be introduced which will put the matter completely beyond doubt. In the meantime, with others, I am prepared to accept the amendment in the hope, shared by all including the Prime Minister, that these various matters of discontent will be satisfactorily dealt with and that our pension legislation and administration will be placed on a proper and sure foundation.
Peter John Veniot
Mr. VENIOT:
Might I be permitted, before this goes through, to say that I agree with the suggestion made to try to remedy the abuses in the administration of the Pension Act? But from my experience before the pension commission in numerous cases, I do not believe we should wholly blame the pension commissioners. If we look carefully into the matter we shall find that the medical boards outside Ottawa, established in the different provinces, are greatly to blame for the way in which they make their reports. I have a case in point where a certain medical board-I do not want to give any names-have had a case outstanding before them for several years. This applicant, who has been receiving a small pension and who is applying for a larger one, they have trotted back and forth from one medical board to another and from one province to another and the reports are so
conflicting that it is almost impossible for the commission to reach an honest and proper decision in the matter. I wish to state right now that my experience in connection with certain medical boards in the dominion has been that they are not doing justice to themselves nor to the applicants. I know of the case of an applicant who after travelling all night and all day, gets before a medical board at ten o'clock in the morning and is not attended to until three or four o'clock in the afternoon. When he gets there in the morning, there are no doctors present although there should be, and that man is kept waiting, without anything to eat, until two or three o'clock in the afternoon. Then, instead of giving him a full medical examination, they merely talk to him, discuss his case with him and then send him away. After this a report goes in that there is nothing wrong with the man.
I know of several cases and I have the facts in regard to one under my hand. This man was sent from a medical board in New Brunswick to a medical board in Quebec. The minute he got to the latter place he was put into a cell for mental cases although according to the report of the medical board in New Brunswick there was absolutely no sign of any such trouble. For three days he was kept in a cell with iron bars across the window and without seeing a doctor. The nurse in charge took pity on him and pleaded that a doctor be brought to attend him. Then when the report was sent back there was a great deal of doubt as to the hysteria from which it was claimed this man was suffering. This man went back to his native province and since that time he has passed a couple of medical boards. He went before a medical board; he was taken in and after two or three days he was told to go back because there was no room for him; there were others to come in and he had to go home. As he required treatment he had to go to a private hospital and employ a doctor to attend to him. Instead of the pension hospital doing this work, this doctor gave him hospital attention free. I have absolute proof of this; I know whereof I speak; I have the record of the doctor who attended to this man in the private hospital and this doctor is one of the leading physicians of the province in which this medical board sits to-day. I have reported those facts to the commission; I was before the commission yesterday; I looked over the reports and when I drew the attention of the doctors on the commission to the record of this case and they reviewed it, they did not
know what to say about the matter. They were surprised to find that the case under examination revealed such a condition of affairs. Therefore I say that the commission at Ottawa is not always to blame for what are called injustices to the returned men. We must have a reorganization of the medical boards in the different sections of the dominion in order that at those medical boards those returned men will get at least a modicum of fair play and not be treated as they have been.
Murray MacLaren (Minister of Pensions and National Health)
Mr. MacLAREN:
Would the hon. member for Gloucester kindly furnish me with the names so that the case that he cites may be considered?
I gave the names to the board of pension commissioners yesterday and in doing that I thought I had done my duty. I am not going to go any further.
Will he not also furnish the minister with the names because it is impossible to make any investigations into complaints and into that case until full particulars are available.
I am endeavouring to give fair play to the board of pension commissioners at Ottawa; they are not always to blame.
I am not reflecting on my hon. friend, but I am asking that I be given an opportunity to look into this case personally and I can do so only if he will kindly let me have the names.
I should like the hon. gentleman (Mr. Ralston) to know I have taken up with the auditor general the questions to which he has referred. The auditor general directed my attention to the fact that under one of the provisions of the Audit Act he is entitled to make inquiries for the purpose of ascertaining whether he is warranted in issuing his cheques; He gave me a number of cases which I in turn reported to the commission and which were cases that went back to the very start of the commission and possibly the basis of entitlement was not quite as clear then as it is now. But I endeavoured to point out to the auditor general that I did not think his function was to determine the sufficiency of the evidence on which entitlement was predicated but rather that it was whether or not a judgment was arrived at and if so he had reason to feel that he had satisfied himself that the country was properly paying the pension in question until further action was taken by someone else.
There is one other ease, other than fraud, which possibly has some effect upon matters of that kind and that is "common mistake." There are a few of those cases that have come to my attention and I suspect the commission has no alternative but to act when by common consent there has been a misstatement that is not fraudulent but which arose from a misunderstanding of something, that amounts in law to an ordinary mistake.
Charles Gavan Power
Mr. POWER:
I have no objection whatever to the passing of this legislation which in all deference I submit has nothing whatever to do with the matters which we have been discussing on both sides of the house. This bill simply provides that in the case of a vacancy arising in the chairmanship of the commission, the government may appoint a judge of the superior court temporarily to fill that place. When the matter was being discussed in the house before, I did contend that legislation should be introduced in order to clear up those marriage and other cases. I do not know that you can change a law by changing the judge; it is the law and not a change in the person who interprets the law that requires amendment. As to the suggestion made from this side of the house that the government or the minister should issue instructions to the board of pension commissioners, may I say that I do not think that should be done. The board acts under the authority conferred upon it by parliament. It is supposed to be and so far as possible can be independent of this or any other government.
Further instructions, as full and as complete as it was possible to frame, were placed in the statute, I think it is section 73, that the board of pension commissioners should under all circumstances give the benefit of the doubt to the soldier who made application. Those instructions have not been followed out, possibly for some legal reason or because the law was not properly drafted. If it was not properly drafted, it should be redrafted and amended so that the will of parliament will be imposed upon the board. Personally I cannot see that the fact of changing the judge will have any effect in legalizing these so-called marriage cases and in giving to the people with reference to whom complaint has been made, the rights to which they are entitled.
I want to say a word in reply to what the hon. member for Quebec South has said. This is the way in which the matter strikes me with regard to marriage cases. The pension board is authorized to pay pension to a man on account of his wife. That is what the act says. Wife I presume means legal wife. The question of administration is, how much evidence shall the board of pension commissioners require as to the legality of that marriage. I submit my hon. friend is wrong when he suggests that we have put full instructions in the act. We have told the board that they may pay on account of the legal wife. The act as it stands is perhaps deficient because it does not provide that they may pay to what is known as a common law wife when the soldier is living. In the case of death there is a provision that payment may be made to a so-called common law wife, but there is no provision that they may pay to a soldier an additional allowance on account of a common law wife where the pension is a disability pension. I come back to this: I think what the Prime Minister is suggesting is that in the matter of administration, that is to decide how strict they shall be in connection with the proof that a woman living with a man is his legal wife, there may be some latitude. As to that I am suggesting that directions should be given to the board that where a pension has been awarded, where the board of pension commissioners has admitted by payment of pension that the woman is the wife of the man, unless deliberate fraud has been proven that decision shall not be disturbed or reversed, and that shall apply to the period back of the time when this wholesale review took place whereby hundreds of people were cut off who had been receiving pension before for many years. My hon. friend from Vancouver Centre (Mr. Mackenzie) mentions the date of February, 1933. But I think the Prime Minister has found some which go back beyond that, and I have sent him some myself. At any rate we know that in 1932 and 11)33 there was a general, almost wholesale review, with the result that the board of pension commissioners tightened up their requirements regarding proof by saying to the pensioner, You have to prove that your marriage is not adulterous. That is about the effect. Up to the time these revisions were made we have taken it that the woman you have been living with is your wife, now we find that previously you had another wife and we are going to put on you the burden of proving that you are not living in adultery. It seems to me that the board of pension commissioners should be instructed that where they have admitted by payment the legal relation between the man and the woman with whom he is living, that position should not be disturbed unless deliberate fraud is proved. That is my answer to my hon. friend from Quebec South (Mr. Power) when he suggests that we cannot make any change by administration. If that is not sufficient
we shall have to pass legislation, because I believe the country intended that the same rule should apply with regard to pension payable on account of disability, as to pension payable on account of death, namely that the woman with whom the man is living, who has borne his children, who has carried the responsibilities of wifehood, should receive the benefit of the pension which this country intended for the returned man and his dependents.
You are eliminating from discussion the bigamous situation?
Yes, I am discussing particularly the so-called marriage cases.
There is another class of cases interfered with by the auditor general. It is a most serious situation. That is, a man has been awarded a pension for a disability which was supposed to have been incurred during service. The auditor general has got in and rustled around among the papers and dug up files and medical reports and has come to the conclusion himself, gratuitously, that that man had some disability before enlistment and therefore what he has now and the thing for which he is pensioned is only an aggravation or increase of a pre-enlistment disability. While the Prime Minister calls attention to the fact that I am not referring to the bigamous cases; this is another class of cases in which the board has admitted from the time they started paying pension that the man had a war disability, not an aggravation, and was therefore entitled to the full amount. I say the board should not be allowed to interfere at this late stage with that and cut off pensions and start recovering back pension.
Is not that the class of case
to which I referred?
Yes, my hon. friend from Kingston (Mr. Ross) is quite right. I only mentioned it now because the Prime Minister spoke of my having dealt particularly with the marriage cases. I say the class to which my hon. friend refers are equally meritorious in the sense that they may be dealt with by administration if the board just exercises good common sense and endeavours to carry out the spirit of parliament.
Two things further. First the Prime Minister worried me a little by his reference to the fact that there should be an exception in cases of common mistake. I did not quite understand what he meant in that respect.

The Christo and Jeanne-Claude Award 2014 Reveal Winner's Artistic Excellence
A view of an exterior of the New York University Abu Dhabi campus on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi.
In collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Music and Arts Foundation (ADMAF), New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) hosted the Christo and Jeanne-Claude Award ceremony, which unveiled NYUAD senior Erin Meekhof's sculptural installation. Under the patronage of H.H. Sheikha Shamsa bint Hamdan Al Nahyan, the unveiling of the winning artwork took place at NYUAD's Downtown Campus in Abu Dhabi.
Meekhof's winning project, Abjad, was selected from 27 entries for its originality, multidisciplinary nature, and profound scope of research. Inspired by Meekhof's independent visual investigation of language, Abjad is a series of five large wooden sculptures, each representing a different letter and the history of how it evolved from a pictogram to the English and Arabic alphabets. Each sculpture depicts the story of a single phoneme, a distinct unit of sound beginning as a pictogram, developing into Phoenician, and splitting into Arabic through Aramaic and Nabatean, and Roman script, through Etruscan and Greek letterforms.
Meekhof said: "Abjad has grown out of my own experience here studying in the UAE, and I think it speaks to everyone's experience living in such a multilingual, multicultural place. I want people to come away from the work having learned something and having been challenged to rethink their own assumptions about language, culture, and history, just the way I have been."
ADMAF Founder H.E. Mrs Hoda Al Khamis-Kanoo said: "The Christo and Jeanne-Claude Award has proven itself as a highly effective and inspirational platform to nurture the creative abilities of promising young artists in the UAE. The journey from concept to completion calls upon all facets of an artist's palette — from the artistic to the logistical — and gives applicants a chance to experience everything that is required when sharing one's creativity with the world. I'm very proud to be on the committee of this award, and Erin Meekhof is an outstanding example of a young artist who has applied her intellectual curiosity, artistic intuition, and practical skills to produce an artwork that speaks to us all."
NYUAD Visual Arts Professor Tarek Al-Ghoussein, Meekhof's nominating mentor, commented: "It brings me great pleasure and pride to know that one of our students here at NYUAD has been granted the Christo and Jeanne-Claude Award. Meekhof's work considers the boundaries between fine art and design which happens to be a current topic of debate from a pedagogical point of view within academic circles."
The Christo and Jeanne-Claude Award, which accepts proposals for public art pieces from UAE student applicants and recent graduates, has created an important platform for young promising artists in the community.

Перепис населення Естонії (REL 2011), пройшов у 2011—2012 роках. У 2010 та 2011 роках переписи населення проходили у більшості країн світу. Перепис пройшов з 31 грудня 2011 року по 31 березня 2012 року. REL 2011 — одинадцятий за рахунком перепис населення на території Естонії. Попередні проходили у 1881, 1897, 1922, 1934, 1941, 1959, 1970, 1979, 1989 та 2000 роках.

За 130-річну історію проведення переписів на території Естонії цей перепис був своєрідним унікальним. По-перше, у мешканців вперше з'явилася можливість пройти перепис інтернетом. По-друге, Департамент статистики Естонії відмовився від використання паперових анкет. Це означає, що переписувач повинен заносити дані відразу до ноутбука лічильника. Використання паперових анкет передбачалося лише у виняткових випадках, коли використовувати інтернет або ноутбук лічильника з будь-яких причин було неможливо. При цьому під час проведення цього перепису Естонія мала намір поставити рекорд перепису населення через Інтернет.

Ціль
Мета перепису населення та житлових приміщень REL 2011 полягала в тому, щоб надати громадськості, науковим установам, місцевим самоврядуванням, державним установам, підприємствам та міжнародним організаціям якісну інформацію про чисельність, склад, розміщення та міграцію населення, житлові приміщення та умови проживання, а також скласти інформаційну основу для проведення державних статистичних досліджень. Жодне інше дослідження не може дати такої повноцінної інформації.

Метод та проведення
Відповідно до рішення комісії з перепису при Уряді Естонії від 9 вересня 2008 року, перепис 2011 мав проходити за комбінованим методом, що включає використання державних регістрів, електронний перепис та індивідуальне відвідування населення. Момент початку перепису було призначено на 00 годину 00 хвилин 31 грудня 2011 року. За проведення перепису на території Естонії відповідав Департамент статистики.

 Перша частина, що проводилася в проміжку з 31 грудня 2011 року по 31 січня 2012 року, включала так званий е-перепис (електронний перепис). Бажаючи мали можливість заповнити анкети за себе та за членів свого домогосподарства через інтернет.
 На тих, хто не взяв участь в е-переписі, чекало відвідування переписувачів у проміжку з 16 лютого по 31 березня 2012 року.

Для проведення перепису населення Департамент статистики планував найняти понад 2400 осіб: 2200 переписувачів (у тому числі 200 переписувачів запасного складу), 132 керівники районів, 15 керівників округів та 90 операторів обробки даних. Всі пропозиції про роботу були опубліковані на сайті перепису населення, там же можна було знайти короткий опис посади та вимоги.

Пробний перепис
Пробний перепис населення відбувався з 31 грудня 2009 року по 31 березня 2010 року. Для проведення пробного перепису були обрані регіони, що найбільш розрізняються, і типи розміщення населення. Метою було провести ретельні випробування організації перепису та інфосистеми для того, щоб внести необхідні зміни до процесу перепису 2011 (REL 2011). В учасників пробного перепису була можливість пройти перепис або за допомогою е-перепису, або за допомогою переписувача. У ході перепису в дев'яти місцевих самоврядування було переписано близько 10 000 осіб. Загалом у ході е-перепису було переписано понад 5000 осіб, з яких понад 3000 проживають поза регіонами пробного перепису. За попередніми даними, під час е-перепису було переписано 18 % мешканців регіонів пробного перепису. «Міжнародний досвід показує, що це значний результат, оскільки за першого е-перепису активність участі зазвичай не перевищує 10 %», — зазначила Діана Белтадзе, керівник проєкту REL 2011.

Підсумки
Попередні результати перепису було опубліковано 31 травня 2012 року. В Естонії постійно проживало 1294236 осіб. Порівняно з попереднім переписом 2000 року кількість постійних жителів Естонії зменшилася на 75 816, або на 5,5 %. Населення складалося з 693 884 жінок і 600 352 чоловіків. З 1294455 постійних жителів Естонії етнічні естонці становили 902547 (69,72) %), 326 235 — російські (25,20 %), українці — 22 573 (1,74 %), білоруси — 12 579 (0,97 %), фіни — 7589 (0,59 %), татари — 1993 чол. (0,15 %), євреї — 1973 (0,15 %), латиші — 1764 (0,14 %), литовці — 1727 (0,13 %), поляки — 1664 (0,13 %), німці — 1544 (0,12 %), та вірмени — 1428 чол. (0,11 %). Частка естонців зросла, але їх абсолютна кількість знову зменшилася, хоч і менш стрімко, ніж кількість представників інших національностей.
