IN THE MATTER OF A SETTLEMENT HEARING PURSUANT TO SECTION 24.4 OF BY-LAW NO. 1 OF THE MUTUAL FUND DEALERS ASSOCIATION OF CANADA
Re: Carte Wealth Management Inc.
Heard: December 22, 2020 by electronic hearing in Toronto, Ontario
Reasons For Decision: February 4, 2021
Reasons For Decision
Hearing Panel of the Central Regional Council:
Frederick W Chenoweth, Chair
Kenneth P. Mann, Industry Representative
Alan Melamud, Enforcement Counsel for the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada
Anna Markiewicz, Counsel for the Respondent
Kirk Purai, CEO of the Respondent
By Notice of Settlement Hearing, dated December 4, 2020, a Hearing Panel of the Central Regional Counsel of the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada (the "MFDA") was convened to consider whether, pursuant to s. 24.4 of By-law No. 1 of the MFDA, the Hearing Panel should accept a settlement agreement dated November 25, 2020, ("Settlement Agreement") entered into by the Staff of the MFDA ("Staff") and Carte Wealth Management Inc. ("Respondent").
At the outset of the proceeding, the Hearing Panel considered a joint motion by Staff and the Respondent to move the proceedings "in camera". The Hearing Panel granted the motion. The Hearing Panel then considered the provisions of the Settlement Agreement, aided by submissions as to the applicable law, which should guide the Hearing Panel in determining whether or not to accept or reject the Settlement Agreement. The Hearing Panel unanimously accepted the Settlement Agreement and issued an Order accordingly. These are the Hearing Panel's reasons for doing so.
The Contravention
In the Settlement Agreement, the Respondent admits that:
between June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019, the Respondent failed to maintain a risk adjusted capital greater than zero, contrary to MFDA Rule 3.1.1.
In the Settlement Agreement, Staff of the MFDA and the Respondent agreed to the existence of a series of facts, which are set out in Part IV of the said Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement is attached as Appendix "A" to these Reasons.
As set out in the Settlement Agreement, the Respondent had, since April 20, 2007, been registered in the securities industry as a mutual fund dealer, in all the provinces of Canada, except Newfoundland and Labrador. The Respondent was designated as a Level 3 Member of the MFDA.
The Hearing Panel was aware that prior to accepting a Settlement Agreement, a Hearing Panel must be satisfied that:
The facts admitted by the Respondent constitute misconduct in contravention of the By-laws, MFDA Rules or policies, or provincial securities legislation; and
The penalties contemplated in the Settlement Agreement fall within a reasonable range of appropriateness, bearing in mind the nature and extent of the misconduct and all the circumstances.
The Hearing Panel accepted that the role of a Hearing Panel at a settlement hearing is fundamentally different than its role at a contested hearing. It is generally accepted that Hearing Panels will not lightly interfere in a settlement agreement reached by Staff and a respondent. Section 24.4.3 of MFDA By-law No. 1 provides that Hearing Panels may only accept or reject a settlement in its entirety. A Hearing Panel's role is therefore not to determine the correct sanction, but instead to ascertain whether the sanction agreed to between Staff and a respondent falls within the reasonable range of appropriateness:
In a contested Hearing, the Hearing Panel attempts to determine the correct penalty. In a Settlement Hearing, the Hearing Panel takes into account the settlement process itself and the fact that the parties have agreed to the penalties set out in the Settlement Agreement. In our view, a Hearing Panel should not interfere lightly in a negotiated settlement and should not reject a Settlement Agreement unless it views the penalty as clearly falling outside a reasonable range of appropriateness. As has been said: "The settlement process is one of negotiation and compromise and the penalty imposed following a settlement will often be less onerous than one imposed following a Hearing where similar findings are made.
MFDA By-law No. 1
Professional Investments (Kingston) Inc. (Re), 2009 LNCMFDA 9 at para. 13.
Ho (Re), 2018 LNCMFDA 21 at paras. 24-26.
The Respondent admits that for the period between June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019, it failed to maintain a risk adjusted capital ("RAC") greater than zero. The Respondent is a Level 3 Dealer. Therefore, pursuant to MFDA Rule 3.1.1, it is required to maintain a minimum capital of $75,000 and RAC greater than zero at all times.
MFDA Rule 3.1.1.
The purpose of RAC is set out in "The Form 1 Reference Manual" (the "Reference Manual"), which states the following:
In order to monitor the financial viability of mutual fund dealers, the MFDA has adopted a risk adjusted capital calculation, also known as the "capital formula". RAC is derived from the Member's working capital and is the primary means of financial reporting to the MFDA. RAC is a measure of the Member's liquidity and its ability to withstand any adverse fluctuations in operations. In addition to a minimum amount of capital required by MFDA rules, certain provisions or "cushions" are taken into consideration in order to assess the Member's capacity to manage its obligations and protect its clients. The capital formula seeks to assess the Member's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Reference Manual further explains that pursuant to MFDA Rule 3.1.1, "it is the responsibility of all Members to continuously monitor and evaluate its capital to ensure RAC is positive at all times."
The Form 1 Reference Manual, March 2014.
Accordingly, by failing to ensure its RAC was greater than zero between June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019, the Respondent contravened MFDA Rule 3.1.1.
The Penalty
The primary goal of securities regulation is the protection of the investing public. Disciplinary sanctions imposed in a securities regulatory context are protective and preventative, and intended to be exercised to prevent likely future harm.
Pezim v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Brokers), [1994] 2 S.C.R. 557 at para. 59.
Committee for the Equal Treatment of Asbestos Minority Shareholders v. Ontario (Securities Commission), [2001] 2 S.C.R. 132 at para. 42,
The Panel accepted the submissions of Staff that the following factors are frequently considered by Hearing Panels when determining whether a penalty is appropriate:
The seriousness of the allegations proved against the Respondent;
The Respondent's past conduct, including prior sanctions;
The Respondent's experience and level of activity in the capital markets;
Whether the Respondent recognizes the seriousness of the improper activity;
The harm suffered by investors as a result of the Respondent's activity;
The benefits received by the Respondent as a result of the improper activity;
The risk to investors and the capital markets in the jurisdiction, were the Respondent to continue to operate in capital markets in the jurisdiction;
The damage caused to the integrity of the capital markets in the jurisdiction by the Respondent's improper activities;
The need to deter not only those involved in the case being considered, but also any others who participate in the capital markets, from engaging in similar improper activity;
The need to alert others to the consequences of inappropriate activity in the capital markets; and
Previous decisions made in similar circumstances.
Sterling Mutuals Inc. (Re), MFDA File No. 200820 dated August 21, 2008
The Hearing Panel may also have reference to the MFDA's Sanction Guidelines (the "Sanction Guidelines"). The Sanction Guidelines are not mandatory or binding on the Hearing Panel, but provide a summary of the key factors upon which discretion can be exercised consistently and fairly. Many of the same factors that are listed above, which have been considered in previous decisions of MFDA Hearing Panels, are also reflected and described in the Sanction Guidelines.
Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada Sanction Guidelines, dated November 15, 2018
The Hearing Panel took into consideration the above factors when considering the Settlement Agreement with the Respondent. Set out below are the factors that are particularly pertinent to this case:
The Respondent's failure to maintain a RAC greater than zero is serious misconduct. As stated by the Hearing Panel in Global Maxfin Investments Inc. (Re), the requirement that members maintain a RAC greater than zero is necessary "to protect the financial integrity of individual MFDA firms, their clients, the MFDA and the securities markets". When a Member's financial viability is threatened, its clients are put at significant risk, and accordingly it is critical that Members maintain a positive RAC at all times.
Global Maxfin Investments Inc. (Re) 2015 LNCMFDA 65 at para. 10.
The Respondent has not previously been the subject of an MFDA disciplinary proceeding.
The Hearing Panel was satisfied that the Respondent had accepted responsibility for its misconduct. The Respondent entered into a Settlement Agreement which substantially reduced the length and complexity of the disciplinary proceeding that might have otherwise been necessary.
There is no evidence that any client suffered any harm as a result of the Respondent's misconduct, nor is there any evidence that the Respondent received any benefit as a result of the misconduct.
Importantly, the Respondent had rectified the RAC deficiency and maintained a positive RAC since January 21, 2020.
Additionally, the Respondent had taken substantial voluntary remedial measures, including hiring a chartered accountant who is now responsible for the Respondent's financial affairs on a full-time basis, and made changes to its policies and procedures to ensure it maintained a RAC greater than zero.
The proposed sanctions served the purpose of specific and general deterrence. Although the Hearing Panel might have preferred a larger fine, the $10,000 fine was sufficiently large to deter the Respondent from again contravening MFDA Rule 3.1.1 while taking into account the size of the Respondent, the nature of the misconduct, and the fact that this was a single financial compliance contravention which had been rectified.
Additionally, the Hearing Panel understood that the sanction ought not to exacerbate the financial difficulties that the MFDA, by its prosecution, was attempting to rectify.
The Hearing Panel was of the view that the proposed sanctions would also send a message to the industry of the importance of maintaining RAC greater than zero, and that Members can suffer a penalty from even a single financial compliance contravention.
In coming to its conclusion, the Hearing Panel considered all of the facts and circumstances of the case, the substantial case law to which it had been referred, and the Sanction Guidelines.
Staff proposed that costs in the amount of $5,000 be awarded against the Respondent. In the Settlement Agreement, the Respondent agreed to Staff's proposal. In its submissions, Staff made it clear to the Hearing Panel, that costs incurred more than justified the imposition of the above costs award.
For all the above reasons, the Hearing Panel concluded that the Settlement Agreement was reasonable and proportionate. Accordingly, the following penalties were imposed upon the Respondent:
The Respondent shall pay a fine in the amount of $10,000, pursuant to s. 24.1.2(b) of MFDA By-law No. 1;
The Respondent shall pay costs in the amount of $5,000, pursuant s. 24.2 of MFDA By-Law No. 1;
The Respondent shall, in the future, comply with MFDA Rule 3.1.1; and
If at any time a non-party to this proceeding, with the exception of the bodies set out in s. 23 of the MFDA By-law No. 1, requests production of or access to exhibits in this proceeding that contain personal information as defined by the MFDA Privacy Policy, then the MFDA corporate secretary shall not provide copies of or access to the requested exhibits to the non-party without first redacting from them any and all personal information, pursuant to Rules 1.8(2) and (5) of the MFDA Rules of Procedure.

NIU receives US approval for its electric scooters; 1,000 already on the way
Micah Toll
@MicahToll
NIU, one of the leading international electric scooter companies, has finally received US certification for its scooters. The company will soon be adding the United States to a list of over two dozen countries carrying NIU's electric mopeds and scooters.
NIU's electric scooters have proven to be extremely popular not just in the company's native China, but also across Europe.
After introducing an updated model of high tech electric scooters last year, NIU has been slowly working through the long process of receiving US import certification. Now the company has finally received it, meaning some of their models, which are destined for the US market, are homologated and ready for import.
In fact, NIU has already received an initial order for 1,000 electric scooters in the US. The company hasn't released many details about that first shipment of scooters to the US, but as CEO and Co-founder Yan Li explained to Electrek:
"The scooters are set to be deployed into a sharing program starting from early June and we will be releasing the details of the deployment in the coming weeks."
In addition, NIU also announced that the company's electric scooters have also been certified for sales in South Korea.
NIU's M+ electric scooter, shown above, can reach speeds of 45 km/h (28 mph) and has a range of up to 100 km (62 mi).
The larger NGT electric scooter reaches a faster top speed of 70 km/h (43 mph) thanks to its 3 kW motor. With two battery packs, the NGT has a maximum range of up to 170 km (106 mi) on a single charge.
NIU has shown impressive growth over the last few years. The company recently released its 2018 earnings report, which indicated that NIU nearly doubled its sales and revenue in the past year. Across all of its markets, NIU has sold over 640,000 e-scooters worldwide since its inception in 2014. NIU claims that those scooters have traveled a combined 24 billion kilometers of riding across over 170 cities in China and 27 countries overseas.
In addition to announcing US and South Korean homologation for its electric scooters, NIU also recently showed off its new line of U-series electric scooters and mopeds. China recently instated new electric scooter and bicycle regulations which include a maximum weight limit of 55 kg (121 lb). The U+ and Us models were designed to be ultra-light, allowing them to fit into this more convenient vehicle class.
The U+, shown below, looks like a typical electric scooter with a rear hub motor. But a keen eye will notice the small pedals and bicycle chain that help classify it as an electric bicycle. The U+ is currently designed for the Chinese market but will be updated for global specifications, including larger wheels. The company hasn't provided a timeline for global sales of the U+ yet.
Lastly, NIU also debuted a new line of bicycles, including mountain bikes and road bikes. The NIU AERO line will span a wide range of product levels from entry-level to ultra premium bicycles. The prices will range accordingly from around $375 to $9,250, which should cover nearly the entire market.
The NIU AERO line is designed to tap into the growing trend of "athleisure" in China.
While NIU has shown impressive growth along with a slew of new product releases, the company's stock has been a wild ride since its IPO on the NASDAQ last year. After rising over 25% in a day earlier this month, the stock price was down nearly 20% yesterday.
With increased worldwide expansion and strong financials, the company certainly seems to be headed in the right direction for now.

Homeostasis can be defined as the balance in which a system, animal, country, or planet maintains a variable around an ideal normal value, or set point. Homeostasis can refer to the human or animal body, eco-system, city, planet or even a solar system, in which each system must maintain a certain balance to function. For example, Earth maintains homeostasis through a range of variables such as the global temperature. If the global temperature raises to high (above the normal values) certain animals within its system will not be able to survive, where as if it goes to low (below the normal values) other animals will no longer be able to survive.

Black History Month: 80 Years of Spokesman Coverage
As the Spokesman enters its 80th year of publication, the newspaper created a compilation of its top stories.
Spokesman Staff
The Spokesman has covered university news such as student protests, university commencements, presidential speeches and cultural events.
Jordan D. Brown, Editor in Chief
As an 80-year-old publication, the Spokesman's archives contain a wide range of news coverage that captures the history of Morgan State University.
Spokesman's archives, compiled by Ida Jones, university archivist, are most prevalent during the 1990s, but some collections include historic copies from the beginning of the publication in the 1940s.
Over the years, the Spokesman has covered university news such as student protests, university commencements, presidential speeches and cultural events.
Review some of the top Spokesman stories found in the university's archives at the Beulah M. Davis room in the Earl S. Richardson library.
January 1944: The earliest copy of the Spokesman in Morgan's archives dates back to 1944. At the time, students were on strike and opposing the student council after two male students were dismissed from the university for violating visitation rules in a women's dormitory. The 1944 paper also highlights the previous establishment of a dormitory canteen in Tubman House. A larger canteen for the entire student body is now located in the University Student Center.
June 1945: 87 seniors completed their matriculation at Morgan State College in 1945. 16 students received their bachelor of arts degree and 71 students received bachelor in science degrees. Over the past 80 years, graduation rates have grown as well as the university's enrollment rates.
April 1990: Student protests at HBCUs date back several generations ago and were very prevalent at Morgan during the 1990s. Morganites were protesting demands from their own university and the state of Maryland. Over 200 students held a six-day sit-in inside of an administration building and demanded changes with financial aid, class registration and campus security. The protest garnered so much attention across the state that the former governor of Maryland William Donald Schaefer agreed to meet with students about their concerns.
September 1990: Two large events made news in this Spokesman edition starting with the accreditation for the engineering school and the groundbreaking ceremony for Blount Towers. The School of Engineering's electrical engineering program received its accreditation from the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology six years after its establishment. Additionally, the university held a groundbreaking ceremony for its newest women's dormitory, Blount Towers, that was set to open in August 1991. The building's namesake, Senator Clarence W. Blount, Governor William Donald Schafer, Mayor Kurt Schmoke and other public figures attended the ceremony.
February 1996: Sony Music launched a music tour in collaboration with the nation's historically black colleges and universities. The music tour brought some of the top Black music artists of 1996 to Morgan's campus as well as Morehouse College, Hampton University and Howard University. The Fugees, Maxwell, U.B.U. and Groove Theory performed in the Murphy Fine Arts Center in the HBCU music tour.
July 1997: Former President Bill Clinton delivered the Spring 1997 commencement speech at Morgan. In his speech, Clinton addressed the ongoing AIDS epidemic and his administration's plans to help prevent contraction of the virus. On this day, Clinton became the first active president to deliver a commencement speech at Morgan. Clinton's speech was joined by ELijah E. Cummings, former Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke, and Congressman Kweisi Mfume.
October 1997: Similar to today's Morgan experience, building construction often occurred on the university's campus. In the fall of 1997, the Talmadge L. Hill Field House was refurbished, along with the construction of the Hughes Memorial Stadium, Soper Library and the Murphy Fine Arts Center. For $18 million, the refurbishing of the Hill Field House included new scoreboards, basketball hoops, flooring, weight room and increased seating arrangements.
April 2002: Protests at Morgan were an ongoing reoccurrence, but this time, the Morgan community approached Maryland's House of Delegates to demand funding that was intended for the university, but planned to go elsewhere. Over 1,000 people traveled to the state house in Annapolis, Md. to protest the denial of $3.1 million to complete the construction of a new library. After a sit-in with 200 people, the House Appropriation Committee decided against granting Morgan the proper funding. The denied funding further pushed back the university's plans to develop a new library, which is now known as the Earl S. Richardson library.
September 2006: Protests are not the only aspect of Morgan with a common history as Morgan's ongoing housing shortage goes back to 2006. With its largest incoming freshman class at the time, the number of housing applications exceeded the number of available spaces on-campus. Over 100 students that originally applied for on-campus housing were directed to Morgan View apartments for their housing assignments.
November 2008: In 2008, the United States elected Barack Obama as its first-ever African American president. The Spokesman released a print edition the day after the election, solely dedicated to the 44th president's victory. As most college students were first-time voters, the Spokesman captured the reactions and excitement from the election results.
September 2010: President David Wilson began his tenure at Morgan State University in 2010 as the 10th president of the university. Throughout his time at Morgan, the university has reached new heights such as its elevation to a R2 research classification, the highest graduation rates in Morgan's history, over $1 billion towards campus construction within the next 10 years and more. In the first year of his presidency, Wilson sat down with the Spokesman for a one-on-one interview.
December 2011: The Civil Rights Movement display in the University Student Center was brought to campus in 2011. Although the display highlights the movement as a whole, it also shows the direct connection between the movement and Morgan State University. In the early 1950s, Morgan students fought to desegregate nearly 40 lunch counters at Read's Drugstores in Northwood Commons. Their work was honored with the movement exhibit that displays the exact sit-in counter from one of the drugstores.
In 2012, the Spokesman transitioned from print publication to digital-only, publishing all stories online.
May 2016: Morgan State recognized as a National Treasure
The National Trust for Historic Preservation officially declared Morgan a National Treasure just a year shy of its sesquicentennial anniversary. The organization preserves historic landmarks across the nation and actively works to fund HBCUs. Morgan was the first and currently remains the only HBCU campus recognized as a National Treasure.

November 2019: Morgan band steals NYC, Macy's parade with historic performance
In 2019, the Magnificent Marching Machine performed in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Morgan's band made history as the first HBCU to perform in the annual parade in New York City. The band has since performed with the Baltimore Ravens marching band and most recently at NBA All-Star Weekend in the HBCU Classic game.

October 2021: Biden addresses his response to voting rights, police brutality and HBCU funding
The Spokesman covered a CNN presidential debate in Baltimore with President Joe Biden. Hosted by Anderson Cooper, Biden discusses several topics headlining his first year of presidency including voting rights, HBCU funding, police brutality and other national topics.

July 23, 2007 Just how important does someone have to be to have their own 30,000 pound bomb delivered by a billion dollar aircraft? We'll soon know. We have written about the Massive Penetrator weapon before here and detailed the awesome firepower and effectively infinite range of the US$1.157 billion B-2 here. The B-2 is a multi-role bomber capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear munitions through previously impenetrable defenses. The B-2's low-observable technologies with high aerodynamic efficiency, large payload and an unrefueled range of approximately 6,000 nautical miles (9,600 kilometers) give it the unique ability to penetrate an enemy's most sophisticated defenses and threaten its most valued, and heavily defended, targets.
Now, in a move that's certain to displease enemies of the state, they're getting the two together - anytime, anywhere and now any depth destruction.
Northrop Grumman, the Air Force's prime contractor on the B-2, is doing the work under a seven-month, $2.5 million contract awarded June 1 by the Air Force's Aeronautical Systems Center, Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio.
The new Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), which is being developed by The Boeing Company, is a GPS-guided weapon containing more than 5,300 pounds of conventional explosives inside a 20.5-foot long enclosure of hardened steel. It is designed to penetrate dirt, rock and reinforced concrete to reach enemy bunker or tunnel installations. The B-2 is capable of carrying two MOPs, one in each weapons bay.
The current contract will focus on adapting the B-2's weapon bay fixtures to accommodate the new weapon. The B-2 is currently equipped to carry up to 40,000 pounds of conventional ordnance. It can be configured, for example, to carry up to 80 500-lb class GPS-guided bombs or 36 750-lb class bombs in its smart bomb rack assembly, or up to 16 2,000-lb class weapons in its rotary launch assembly.
•	A "smart" bomb rack assembly that allows the aircraft to deliver 80 independently-targeted, 500-lb. smart weapons, five times more than previously. •	Application of a specially formulated surface coating that has significantly reduced B-2 maintenance time and improved operational readiness. •	Installation of a line-of-sight tactical communications system that improves B-2 pilots' ability to share critical targeting and threat information and maintain real-time awareness of the battlespace. •	Installation of an advanced electronically scanned array antenna designed to enable more advanced imaging capabilities in the future.
The B-2 Spirit stealth bomber remains the only long-range, large-payload aircraft that can penetrate deeply into protected airspace.


Mangaluru, June 12 2018: With earth caving in on the track between Kadagaravalli and Yedakumari railway stations on Shiradi Ghat, train services between Mangaluru and Bengaluru were affected.
Train No 16516 Karwar-Yeshwanthpur tri-weekly express, which was scheduled to run today June 12, Tuesday from Karwar to Bengaluru, would not operate between Karwar and Mangaluru Junction as its pairing train [No 16515] was terminated at Hassan on June 11, Monday.
A release from Southern Railway's Palakkad Division here said that landslips affected regular movement of trains on the sector.
Train No 16515 Yeshwanthpur-Mangaluru Junction-Karwar tri-weekly express, which had left Yeshwantpur in the morning, was terminated at Hassan. South Western Railway arranged buses to ferry passengers to their destinations, according to another communique. Southern Railway is yet to confirm operation of Train No 16516 between Mangaluru Junction and Yeshwantpur on Tuesday as it would be known only after the arrival of Train No 16515, which was terminated at Hassan on Monday, at Mangaluru Junction.
Meanwhile, Train No 16576 Mangaluru Junction-Yeshwanthpur tri-weekly Gomateshwara express was diverted to run via Kannur, Palakkad Junction, Coimbatore, Erode and Jolarpettai on Monday. As the track was not cleared by Monday evening, Train No 16512/16514 Kannur/Karwar-KSR Bengaluru via Kunigal leaving Mangaluru Junction as well as Train No 16517/16523 KSR Bengaluru-Kannur/Karwar express via Mysuru leaving Bengaluru on June 11, Monday night are being diverted via Kannur, Palakkad Junction and Salem.

Ever bought a beauty product just because your favourite celeb or a whole lot of beauty Instagrammers talked it up? Yeah, us too — it's hard not to when Oprah is singing the praises of a hot new skincare essential. This cult-fave Philosophy moisturiser is no different, so we set out to discover whether it was really worth all the hype.
We're talking about the Renewed Hope in Jar Moisturiser, one of Philosophy's bestselling (and most raved-about) formulas. With a seal of approval from Ms Winfrey herself, this product claims to 'refresh' and 'refine' the skin no matter what kind of complexion you're dealing with. Keep on reading to find out the low-down on this celebrated Philosophy moisturiser.
One of the best features of this Philosophy moisturiser is that it can work for a huge range of skin types and ages. We've broken it down by skin concerns so you can see how it'll work in your routine.

The town of Bay Harbor Islands is located towards the northwest of Miami Beach. It is conveniently located near South Beach, Downtown Miami and the Bal Harbour Shops. The area is well known for its luxury homes situated on the bay. Its close proximity to the ocean makes the area ideal for families and professionals who want to live near the beach, but not be too far from work.
Bay Harbor Islands Real Estate consists of two islands. To the West, you'll find an area that is exclusively single family houses. On the East island, you'll find multi-family housing as well as the business district. The Bay Harbor homes on the west island of Bay Harbor are known to be some of the most pristine pieces of Miami Beach real estate. Many of the homes are on the waterfront and offer amazing views of the wide bay.
You can literally access the Atlantic Ocean in just a couple of minutes from your own home. There are also numerous ports and docks on the island for those who enjoy boating and yachting.
Bay Harbor Island homes come in various sizes from modest one bedroom homes to large luxurious residences that sit on the bay. There are numerous single family homes available throughout the island and in Bal Harbour Islands as well; many of these are also on the water. However, no matter where you choose to live on the island, the water is never far away. Shopping and dining are also abundant in the area. The Kane Concourse is home to shops, restaurants, salons, offices and other retail stores.
The town itself is small, but has a sense of sophistication as well. If you are looking for an ideal area for your family, but don't want to be too far from the fun and excitement of Miami and Miami Beach, then a home in Bal Harbour Islands may be ideal for you.

Focus is on helping those affected by TC Sarai:PM
Koroi Tadulala Multimedia Journalist [email protected] | @KoroiFBCNews
The Prime Minister is determined to provide assistance to those Fijians whose lives were battered by Tropical Cyclone Sarai.
In his New Year's address, Voreqe Bainimarama says all relevant government branches are currently working to normalize all essential services.
The Prime Minister says TC Sarai is yet another call to strengthen the country's resilience to natural disasters.
https://www.fbcnews.com.fj/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/010120KT-PM1-online-audio-converter.com_.mp3
"Right now my total focus is on the Fijians who through no fault of their own are recovering from yet another bout of severe weather. We will get services back online and we will continue to invest in more resilient infrastructure, construct sea-walls, plant mangroves and implement other adaptive measures. While these projects take time and vast resources, they are worth every dollar and every ounce of effort we can give them."
Bainimarama adds his government prioritizes the well-being of all Fijians.
"I want every Fijian to know that I will never stop fighting to protect our well-being and our progress from the increasing frequency and intensity of these storms. We will build our resilience, we will support you in recovering and rebuilding and we will make the special effort to protect our children, the elderly and those living with disabilities."
Bainimarama says the focus now is on helping those affected by TC Sarai rebuild their homes.
"We've entered a new decade, bigger still a new half-century as 2020 marks 50-years in our onward march as an independent nation. But right now my government is focused on restoring the services our people need and putting TC Sarai behind us."
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister is wishing all Fijians a Happy and safe New Year.

J Street Protests Against Birthright Over New Israeli Law Denying Entry to Pro-BDS Foreigners
By Pamela Geller - on April 19, 2017
Jewicidal Left
What do you think would happen if Christians and Jews protested against Muslim kids who were going back to visit Muslim countries?
"Birthright Faces J Street-Led Protest Over Israel Travel Ban," by Judy Maltz, Forward, April 18, 2017 (thanks to Mark):
More than 500 Jewish American students are challenging Birthright, the biggest sponsor of trips to Israel in the world, to take a stand against a new law that would deny entry to foreigners who support boycotting the country, even if the boycott is restricted to West Bank settlements.
In a letter to senior executives at the program, the students are demanding responses to three questions: Does Birthright intend to impose a screening process to vet applicants according to their views on the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement, the settlements and other political issues? If participants are turned back at Ben-Gurion Airport because of the new law, will Birthright provide them with assistance and support? Has Birthright been in touch with the Israeli program about how the new law will affect participation in its trips?
"Given these complications," they ask, "will you continue to allow those of us who choose not to purchase settlement products as a personal choice to participate on Birthright?"
The letter, obtained by Haaretz, was signed by 575 students representing 97 colleges and universities across the United States, as well as three high schools. It was sent just before Passover to Izzy Tapoohi and Gidi Mark, Birthright's top executives, as well as several tour operators with which the organization works. The signatories included both students who have already participated in Birthright trips as well as those who plan to.
Behind the initiative is J Street U, the student arm of J Street, a pro-Israel, anti-occupation organization. About 25 percent of the students who signed the letter, however, have no affiliation whatsoever with the organization.
Responding to questions, Birthright cited the FAQ section on its website, where one question is whether applicants' political views are taken into account when determining eligibility. According to the answer, which has not undergone any revision since the new Israeli law was passed: "Birthright Israel does not inquire about the political views of its applicants and welcomes all Jewish young adults from around the globe to visit Israel."
Birthright would not say whether it would support and assist participants on its trips who might be turned away at the airport or whether it had been in touch with the Israeli government about the ramifications of the new law on participation.
The protest comes a few weeks before many universities and colleges go on summer break, the high season for Birthright trips. Birthright typically brings tens of thousand of Jews from around the world, the overwhelming majority from the United States, on its free 10-day trips to Israel each year, most of them during the summer. Birthright says it plans to bring 30,000 participants to Israel this summer.
"While we represent pro-Israel students from across the political spectrum," the students write, "we recognize that there is nothing anti-Israel about opposing settlement expansion. Indeed, 78 percent of American Jews would like to see Israel limit or halt settlement expansion. Most of us oppose settlement expansion as part of our support for a two-state solution − the only way to ensure Israel's future as the democratic homeland of the Jewish people."
The students note that Birthright also recognizes the distinction between Israel and the settlements since, as a matter of policy, it avoids travel to the West Bank.
They add that they do not support the global BDS movement, which targets all of Israel, not just the settlements. "Some of us do not buy settlement products as a personal choice," they write. "Others have no problem doing so. All of us are concerned about the impact of this new legislation on our own and our peers' ability to travel to Israel."
The Israel travel ban, passed in the Knesset last month, has drawn widespread condemnation, including from mainstream Jewish organizations such as the American Jewish Committee, the Anti-Defamation League and the Reform movement. Birthright has yet to comment on the law.
The students have not yet received a response from Birthright.
Among the students who helped draft the letter was Rachel Stryer, the co-head of J Street U at Stanford University. "When I heard the law was passed, I was confused, frustrated and very sad about it because it violates everything I knew about Israel being a democracy and committed to freedom of speech," said Stryer, who plans to go on a Birthright trip this summer after she graduates.
"Beyond that, the conflation of those who support BDS with those who support a boycott of the settlements was troubling to me. At J Street, we don't endorse a boycott, but many of us choose not to buy from the settlements. We see the settlements as something that threatens Israel's future and security."
Birthright, she noted, has long prided itself on the wide spectrum of participants it attracts. "I see the new law as directly challenging Birthright's commitment to this diversity," she said.
Chase Harrison, a member of the student government at the University of Chicago, has voted several times against initiatives at his school to boycott Israel. At the same time, he said, he felt compelled to sign the letter to Birthright.
"I probably wouldn't have a problem coming to Israel with my views, but if those who support a boycott are banned, you would be losing important voices in the dialogue − voices that already exist in Israel," said Harrison, who has already gone on a Birthright trip and serves as an intern at his campus' Hillel chapter….

title: Implement Passwordless SMS in Regular Web Apps
description: Learn how to authenticate users with a one-time code sent by SMS in a regular web application.
toc: true
topics:
    - connections
    - web-apps
    - passwordless
    - sms
contentType: how-to
useCase: customize-connections
---
# Implement Passwordless SMS in Regular Web Apps

<%= include('./_includes/_call-from-client-side') %>

<%= include('./_includes/_introduction-sms', { isMobile: false }) %>

## Setup

<%= include('./_includes/_setup-sms-twilio') %>

<%= include('./_includes/_setup-callback', {spa:false} ) %>

## Implementation

### Use Lock

<%= include('./_includes/_init-passwordless-lock') %>

Then you can trigger the login widget with the following code:

```html
<script src="${lock_url}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  function login() {
    var lock = new Auth0LockPasswordless('${account.clientId}', '${account.namespace}', {
        allowedConnections: ['sms'],             // Should match the SMS connection name
        auth: {
          redirectUrl: '${account.callback}',
          responseType: 'code'
        }
      });
    lock.show();
  };
</script>
<a href="javascript:login()">Login</a>
```

<%= include('./_includes/_custom-domains') %>

This will open a dialog that asks the user for their phone number.

![](/media/articles/connections/passwordless/passwordless-sms-enter-phone-web.png)

Then Auth0 will use Twilio to send an SMS to the user containing the one-time code:

<dfn data-key="lock">Lock</dfn> will ask for the code that has been sent to the provided number via SMS. The code can then be used as a one-time password to log in:

![](/media/articles/connections/passwordless/passwordless-sms-enter-code-web.png)

Once the user enters the code received via SMS, Lock will authenticate the user and redirect to the specified <dfn data-key="callback">`callbackURL`</dfn>.

::: note
You can follow any of the [Regular Web App Quickstarts](/quickstart/webapp) to see how to handle the server-side authentication callback.
:::

### Use your own UI

<%= include('../../_includes/_package', {
  org: 'auth0-samples',
  repo: 'auth0-node-passwordless-sample',
  path: ''
}) %>

You can perform passwordless authentication in your regular web app with your own custom UI using the [Auth0 JavaScript application library](/libraries/auth0js).

<%= include('./_includes/_init-auth0js_v9', {redirectUri:true} ) %>

You must provide a way for the user to enter a phone number to which the SMS will be sent. Then you can begin the passwordless authentication as follows (assuming the name of your form input as `input.phone-number`):

```js
function sendSMS(){
  var phone = $('input.phone-number').val();

  webAuth.passwordlessStart({
    connection: 'sms',
    send: 'code',
    phoneNumber: phone
  }, function (err,res) {
    if (err) {
      // Handle error
    }
    // Hide the input and show the code entry screen
    $('.enter-phone').hide();
    $('.enter-code').show();
  });
}
```

This will send an SMS to the provided phone number. The user must now enter the code they received into your custom UI. Then you can continue with the login as follows (assuming the name of your form inputs as `input.phone-number` and `input.code`):

```js
function login(){
  var phone = $('input.phone-number').val();
  var code = $('input.code').val();

  webAuth.passwordlessLogin({
    connection: 'sms',
    phoneNumber: phone,
    verificationCode: code
  }, function (err,res) {
    if (err) {
      // Handle error
    }
  });
};
```

If authentication is successful, the user will be redirected to the `redirectUri` specified in the Auth0 constructor.

::: note
You can follow up with any of the [Regular Web App Quickstarts](/quickstart/webapp) to see how to handle the authentication callback on the server-side.

Q: wxPython, efficient way to create a settings dialog Since this requires a more singleton approach, I was wondering which one amongst these two would be the "right" way to do it:
1.
if hasattr(self, "settings"):
    # Already implemented, shows it
    self.settings.Show()
else:
    # Implement a new settings dialogue
    self.settings = wx.Dialogue()

2.
self.settings = wx.Dialogue()
self.settings.Show()
del self.settings

A: I have not seen the dialog to actually save the values itself yet. It is common to create and destroy the dialog every time. I think that the most common way would be:
settings = wx.Dialog()
result = settings.ShowModal()
... # Save new settings based on result
settings.Destroy()

Example app:
import wx

class Settings(wx.Dialog):
    def __init__(self, settings, *args, **kwargs):
        wx.Dialog.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
        self.settings = settings

        self.panel = wx.Panel(self)
        self.button_ok = wx.Button(self.panel, label="OK")
        self.button_cancel = wx.Button(self.panel, label="Cancel")
        self.button_ok.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.onOk)
        self.button_cancel.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.onCancel)

        self.checkboxes = []
        for i in range(3):
            checkbox = wx.CheckBox(self.panel, label=str(i))
            checkbox.SetValue(self.settings[i])
            self.checkboxes.append(checkbox)

        self.sizer = wx.BoxSizer()
        for checkbox in self.checkboxes:
            self.sizer.Add(checkbox)
        self.sizer.Add(self.button_ok)
        self.sizer.Add(self.button_cancel)

        self.panel.SetSizerAndFit(self.sizer)

    def onCancel(self, e):
        self.EndModal(wx.ID_CANCEL)

    def onOk(self, e):
        for i in range(3):
            self.settings[i] = self.checkboxes[i].GetValue()
        self.EndModal(wx.ID_OK)

    def GetSettings(self):
        return self.settings

class MainWindow(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

        self.panel = wx.Panel(self)
        self.button = wx.Button(self.panel, label="Show settings")
        self.button.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.onSettings)

        self.sizer = wx.BoxSizer()
        self.sizer.Add(self.button)

        self.panel.SetSizerAndFit(self.sizer)
        self.Show()

        self.settings = [False, False, False]

    def onSettings(self, e):
        settings_dialog = Settings(self.settings, self)
        res = settings_dialog.ShowModal()
        if res == wx.ID_OK:
            self.settings = settings_dialog.GetSettings()
        settings_dialog.Destroy()

app = wx.App(False)
win = MainWindow(None)

Premiere: Lament II – Gruth (Tormenta Electrica) | AS IF. NO WAY!
Fading brown brick and mortar walls for hundreds of years have held in the internal screams of thousands of people. Tucked away into the solid rock foundations of a waterfall, a small tunnel navigates you deep through the earth into the Church of Lament.
Hidden underneath the soft waters of a nearby stream that flows off the cliff face, a place of worship exists for those who wish to express their grievances, regrets or disappointments. The tall towers inside the cathedral ripple the currents flow above, as each of the four points stem out of the ground through to the sky, bringing down with them clean air that nourishes the energy inside the significant building. Stooped on wooden pews throughout the room, Men and Women of all the world delicately arrange themselves around the room, sat in attentive silence. It's a healing process. A time to delve into the darker side of your ego and express nothing but patience.
Sitting in silence. The hairs on you skin rise in response to the dense, cold air that floats throughout the building. Through carefully arranged sounds, the twenty-five minute session allows for anyone who enters to unravel their inner self in an intense individually-driven process.
Gruth via Tormenta Electrica has created a limited edition cassette that explores the depths of contemporary church influenced ambient (that's a thing). The twenty-five minute ambient procession, 'Lament II' is centred around stunning organ and field recordings, taking you through a ritualistic journey.


Two former executives at Norway's dominant dairy Tine and the TetraPak carton producer have been convicted for exchanging confidential information and engaging in bribery. A local court has now sentenced them both to a year in prison for corruption.
Both men were trusted employees, but after newspaper Dagens Næringsliv (DN) first wrote about the wining, dining and close business relationship between the two, Tine called in the police dealing with white-collar crime. Tine's employee was responsible for buying milk cartons and other packaging for the dairy, and TetraPak suddenly seemed to have an unfair advantage.
An investigation led to indictments against both men who ultimately confessed to the bribery and anti-competitive activity. DN reported this week that the Oslo County Court (Oslo tingrett) sentenced both men to a year in prison. The Tine man was also found guilty of revealing confidential information about TetraPak's main competitor, Elopak.
"There is no doubt that Tine and society in general are best served if there's at least one competitor to TetraPak," the court ruled. The men were also fined, with the Tine employee ordered to repay around NOK 200,000 in charges he'd put on his company expense account to cover trips, hotels, restaurant and bar bills.


The keynote I gave at the RedFrog Conf is now online.
Be warned: that video is in German .
All other videos that have been recorded on the Froscon can be found on the media.cc.de server. I hadn't time to see the other talks, but there are a few on my watchlist.
And I think that I am speaking for the rest of the RedFrog Conf Team: the conference was awesome. The organization was flawless and it was the most easiest way to organize a subconference. The only thing we had to do was to moderate our track. Thanks to the hard working Froscon Team for this! We will try to do this again next year!


Fish Meal is a natural fish fertilizer that is an excellent source nutrients for your lawn and garden.
The oldest natural fertilizer in the world is still the best!
People have been using fertilizers from fish products since ancient times. Nitron's Fish Meal is an excellent year round fertilizer and soil builder. It is completely natural and 100% safe for your entire family. Now you can have a beautiful lawn and garden without having to worry about the problems associated with dangerous chemical fertilizers.
Fish Meal is a high nutrient, organic fertilizer with a nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium ratio (N-P-K) of 10-2-2.
Anytime is best to build your soil, but Fish Meal is most effective when applied in fall, winter, or early spring to condition the soil. Its slow release of nutrients (30-60 days) makes it a dependable soil builder as well as a non-burning nutrient with wide application for many plants.
The National Gardening Association reported that in 2005, American consumers spent 35.2 billion on lawn and garden products. Many of these products are chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The average homeowner uses 10 times more chemicals per acre than a farmer! Chemical fertilizers are made from non-renewable resources and petroleum products. These chemicals end up depleting the soil and polluting our water.
Making the switch to organic, all-natural products such as Fish Meal for your lawn and garden is easy and economical. Organic gardening products work with your soil and plants to enhance your lawn and garden naturally and safely. Over time, you build healthy soil and reduce the costs associated with chemically treating your lawn. Not only does organic gardening save you money, it also means cleaner land, cleaner water, and healthier families.
Along with using Fish Meal as an organic fertilizer for your lawn and garden, consider composting as well. Composting is a simple way to enhance your soil and reduce waste. Compost is the end product of a process that involves organic (once living) material and tiny organisms such as bacteria, fungi, worms, and insects. These organisms break down the material into humus, a natural soil amendment.

OUR HOUSE: Margaret O'Brien, a St. Francis X. Cabrini parishioner, holds vigil for the church yesterday as she and other churchgoers say they'll keep fighting the archdiocese to keep the property.
'I'M READY TO GO': Nancy Shilts, a member of the St. Frances X. Cabrini church, says she'll risk getting arrested in her battle to save the house of worship.
Defiant parishioners waging tireless vigils for the churches they love — now eight years and running — are being warned by their archdiocese that the end is near, but they still vow to fight on.
But the Archdiocese of Boston has signaled the rogue worshippers are testing the goodwill of the hierarchy.
The final appeals are now before the Vatican Supreme Court in Rome with a ruling expected within months. Still, these faithful few refuse to abandon their houses of worship.
The Herald spent weeks with the worshippers at St. Frances X. Cabrini Church in Scituate, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in East Boston and St. Therese Church in Everett to see first-hand how they refuse to let go.
Today, we begin a three-part video and print series chronicling their stories of passion and perseverance, with St. Frances X. Cabrini.
"If they come in and arrest us, I'm ready. I'm ready to go," said Nancy Shilts, 79, rolling up her sleeves while standing vigil at the South Shore church.
Shilts is part of a core group of 100 fellow parishioners and 300 volunteers who have been occupying the church 24/7 since 2004.
St. Frances X. Cabrini is located a block away from the ocean in prime property. But churchgoers refuse to let their seaside oasis slip away to a developer.
Parishioners have suggested three options to resolve the issue — sell off most of their 30 acres of prime coastal property and retain five acres for the church, let St. Frances collaborate with a nearby church or sell the property to the parishioners outright.
The archdiocese flatly says no.
TOMORROW: East Boston's Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Afghanistan By Hayatullah Amanat - Edited:
Pakistan Is The Center Of Taliban, Ghani Tells The Nation
In an address to the nation on Friday, President Ashraf Ghani talked about recent deadly attacks in the country, and said Pakistan is the center of the Taliban and that Islamabad should take practical and clear action for elimination of the militant group and other terror outfits in that country.
"Pakistan is the center of the Taliban," Ghani said, adding that the Afghan people are waiting for action by Pakistani government against terrorist groups on its soil.
He said Afghanistan has shared a list of insurgents with Pakistani government. "We are waiting for movement. Word and process are the words on paper; the Afghan nation wants clear practical action," the president said.
"Eleven suspects have been arrested and their roots have been identified. Their roots are known. Taliban has claimed the responsibility; of course, those Taliban who neither accept the Almighty God nor they accept the Sharia of the Messenger (Mohammad PBUH)," he said referring to the recent attack in Kabul which claimed more than 100 lives and wounded over 200 others.
He said those Taliban who will continue the war will be suppressed by the Afghan forces.
"Today the line of right and wrong would be made clear. The line of the Afghan government and the Afghan people is the right line. Those who do not accept this and do not accept Almighty God's order, are the wrong line and the wrong line will be defeated," Ghani said. "Those Taliban who do not believe in this must separate themselves."
He pointed out to Afghan forces' operations against insurgents across the country and said the military operation in Band-e-Temor area, in Kandahar, was "very successful".
According to National Directorate of Security, at least 50 Taliban militants were killed in the military operation in Band-e-Temor area on Thursday evening.
President Ghani said the security agencies will submit him the Kabul security plan next week on Sunday.
"The security of Kabul and the security of Afghans will not be affected by any political deal or political act," he said. "There is only one politics right now, and that is the politics of being an Afghan. Other small politics have no place in this juncture."
The president stated that security and defense officials will be appointed based on "commitment and talent" afterwards.
President Ghani's remarks come after a series of deadly attacks in Kabul and other parts of the country, claimed by Taliban and Daesh militants in the past two weeks. The attacks claimed dozens of lives.
The president addressed the nation after performing the Friday prayers in the Presidential Palace's mosque.
President Ashraf Ghani says the Afghan people and the government of Afghanistan want practical and clear steps from Pakistani government against terror groups.

Don Iveson, mayor of Edmonton, Canada, says cities are bearing the costs of climate change.
The City of Edmonton is often called the oil capital of Canada. But Mayor Don Iveson does not shy away from discussing climate change. Nor do many of his peers.
He says mayors tend to lead on the issue because cities bear many of the costs of climate change.
Now thousands of city leaders from around the world are committing to reduce carbon pollution and urging others to join them. They've signed the Edmonton Declaration – an effort spearheaded by Iveson.


Different effects of religion and God on prosociality with the ingroup and outgroup.
Climate change helplessness and the (de)moralization of individual energy behavior.
Imagine no religion: Heretical disgust, anger and the symbolic purity of mind.
Action embellishment: an intention bias in the perception of success.

Benefits of Historic Trade Achievements for New Brunswick in 2014
Under Canada's Global Markets Action Plan (GMAP), the government's pro-export, pro-jobs plan, new markets around the world have been opened for New Brunswick exports. These historic trade achievements will benefit hard-working Canadians in New Brunswick and throughout Canada.
In just one year, the government has delivered on its GMAP commitment to eliminate tariffs and support Canadian companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and to boost exports, including through:
the conclusion of negotiations and release of the complete text of the historic Canada-European Union trade agreement. The agreement will eliminate tariffs on virtually all of New Brunswick's exports. On the first day of the agreement's coming into force, 96 percent of tariffs on fish and seafood products and 99 percent of tariffs on manufactured products will be duty-free, making New Brunswick's world-class goods more competitive and creating the conditions needed to increase sales to the EU market and its 500 million consumers.
the conclusion of Canada's first free trade agreement in Asia with the landmark Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement (CKFTA), will come into force on January 1, 2015. New Brunswick will see tremendous opportunities for export growth, given the complete elimination of South Korean duties on many Canadian products. For example, Canadian fish and seafood exports to South Korea face tariffs of up to 47 percent. As of January 1, tariffs on all fish and seafood products will be eliminated, including for key products of interest to New Brunswick such as lobster and eels.
Historic trade agreements require historic trade promotion, and under GMAP the Harper government is supporting workers and businesses in New Brunswick and ensuring that SMEs have all the necessary tools to seize new opportunities and realize their full export potential.
Key elements of the trade promotion efforts include:
Go Global Export Workshops
Over the next several months, the Honourable Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade, is holding workshops across Canada in collaboration with Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters and all the Government of Canada's export support agencies. Under GMAP, the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service, Export Development Canada, the Business Development Bank of Canada and the Canadian Commercial Corporation have been aligning their activities, facilitating referrals, sharing market intelligence and information, and providing a whole-of-government approach to boost SME exports. Over 300 SMEs participated in Go Global workshops in 2014.
Minister Fast will be hosting a Go Global workshop in Moncton on February 20, 2015.
Regional Trade Commissioner Service (TCS) Activities
Since the start of 2014, the TCS's Atlantic Regional Office, based in Halifax, has contacted 299 SMEs to assist them with their export endeavours, as well as to connect them with TCS offices overseas, providing 436 targeted services to help these SMEs succeed in global markets.
Trade commissioners have been embedded with public and private sector partners across Canada, including in New Brunswick with the Association of Seafood Producers and with Industry Canada in Moncton, so they can work closely with businesses to ensure the Government of Canada is responsive to their needs.
Export Development Canada (EDC)
EDC helped 123 New Brunswick companies finance or insure $1.32-billion worth of international sales and investments. For example, EDC has worked with and provided financing to Cooke Aquaculture, a Blacks Harbour–based company that processes and sells salmon, sea bass and sea bream through its subsidiaries and now ranks in the top five companies in the world in the industry. EDC has also provided accounts receivable insurance and foreign exchange risk management to help Innovatia Inc., a knowledge management consulting firm, succeed internationally.
A strong performance from the forestry sector will help propel New Brunswick's export shipments to a healthy 7-percent growth rate next year, following a modest 3-percent increase in 2014, predicts EDC in its latest global forecast.
Attracting Job-Creating Investments in New Brunswick
Significant investments were made in New Brunswick in 2014 that created jobs and opportunities for Canadians. For example, Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS), based in Ohio and the world's largest manufacturer of corrugated high-density polyethylene pipe, established a new product distribution centre in Moncton that will employ up to five people. ADS's new facility services customers in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia.
Through the Invest Canada - Community Initiatives program, the Government of Canada provided $100,000 to Enterprise Saint John, a New Brunswick community organization.
As part of GMAP, the government attracts investment to Canada, benefiting hard-working Canadians and their families. In the 2013-14 fiscal year, the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service (TCS) worked with provincial, territorial and municipal investment partners to facilitate 146 successful investment projects worth $3.65 billion and create over 5,500 new jobs within Canada.
Opening Markets and Supporting New Brunswick Businesses Abroad
In 2014, Minister Fast led 13 trade missions to 20 countries, including one to the United Kingdom in September during which he was joined by representatives of three New Brunswick companies: Steeves Maples, True North Salmon Company and Westmorland Fisheries Ltd. Trade missions connect Canadian businesses, especially SMEs, with new opportunities to boost their exports, which creates jobs, growth and prosperity across all regions of Canada, including New Brunswick.
In May, Minister Fast led the Canadian delegation at the Seafood Expo Global 2014 in Brussels, Belgium, to promote fish and seafood exports. He was joined by representatives of five New Brunswick companies, including Breviro Caviar Inc., Connors Bros. Ltd., Orion Seafood International Inc., Partner Seafood Inc. and Produits Belle Baie Ltee, as well as of the province's Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries.
Innovative companies from New Brunswick can also count on the support of the Canadian Technology Accelerator (CTA) program. Three companies from New Brunswick have participated in CTA programs in 2014: Atlantic Hydrogen Inc. participated in the Virtual Cleantech CTA, IPSNP Computing Inc. participated in the Boston CTA, and Populus Global Solutions Inc. participated in the United Kingdom CTA.
Minister Fast encouraged New Brunswick-based businesses to take advantage of the Enterprise Canada Network. Provided in partnership with EDC and Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters, this network provides online access to more than 30,000 business profiles and information on opportunities in the European market to help Canadian companies take full advantage of the historic Canada-EU trade agreement.
Under GMAP, the Harper government committed to developing comprehensive strategies in key sectors. Strategies released this year that support Manitoba businesses include the International Education, the Extractive Sector and the Corporate Social Responsibility strategies, and an export-oriented Defence Procurement Strategy.
Minister Fast invited businesses in New Brunswick to accompany him on his first trade mission of 2015. This trade mission to South Korea, which will take place from February 8 to 13, will enable businesses to take full advantage of the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement and benefit from on-the-ground support from the Government of Canada.
"This year, 2014, has been the most successful year for international trade in Canadian history, benefiting hard-working Canadians in New Brunswick and in every region of the country. Under Canada's Global Markets Action Plan, we will continue our vigorous trade promotion efforts to boost our exports.
"In 2015, we will continue to focus on the real priorities of hard-working Canadians: creating new jobs and prosperity."

"This is a big accomplishment for Canada and for the New Brunswick fishing industry in particular. We expect to see great economic benefits resulting from this agreement from the day it is implemented."
- Doris Losier, Director, Cape Bald Packers
"The fish and seafood industry forms a critical component of New Brunswick's economy, which is precisely why we favour a trade agreement with the European Union. This agreement will enhance the competitiveness of companies like Shediac Lobster Shop in Europe, translating into increased exports and bringing with it the potential to benefit New Brunswick workers through both jobs and higher wages."
- Daniel Belliveau, Vice President of Marketing/Sales, Shediac Lobster Shop Ltd.
"The significant benefits that this agreement will bring to New Brunswick and the seafood industry in particular are important to the continued growth of Westmorland Fisheries. Our company employs over 300 production staff, and having access to the world's largest fish and seafood market could give us the potential to increase production and create more jobs. We support the government's continued focus of opening markets and providing us with tariff-free access to those markets."
- Russel Jacob, Owner and President, Westmorland Fisheries Ltd.
"In a time when the forest sector is seeking to diversify its markets, it's only natural to look across the pond to the U.K. and the EU. They have been Atlantic Canada's natural trading partners for the better part of two centuries. Concluding a deal to open trade with Europe is good for business for New Brunswick."

Arpeggio Flo is a flowing classical piano ballad in the key of Eb major for established beginner pianists at about the Grade 2 (ABRSM) standard.
Arpeggio Flo is a gentle classical piano piece for pianists at the Grade 2 standard, featuring moving broken chords in both the right and left hands.
This piano sheet music is in 6/8 time and should have a fairly slow 2-in-a-bar feel (two groups of three quavers in each bar). Have a listen to the performance track whilst looking at the sheet music and that should make sense.
It can also be useful to listen to which hand has the melody line - for example, in bar 5 the left hand takes over, so keep the right hand accompaniment at a lower volume than the left hand at this point.
You'll also spot a few slightly weird 'small notes' (for example in bar 4 and bar 9). These are called appoggiaturas and are musical ornaments that embellish the melody. The appoggiaturas are played quickly just before the note they belong to. It's probably a good idea to leave them out when you are first learning the piece - keep things simple to start with!
Also watch out for the 'poco rit' markings - where the tempo just reduces slightly, and then returns at the 'a tempo' markings. Again - it's a good plan to leave these out when you're just beginning to play this piece.
Enjoy the flow of this piece!


Lukaku or immobileI have a seria A league, and I put Mertens in mco and I need 1 st<br /> I think in immobile or lukaku, what choose???
Zanetti 87 or tierney sbc or robertson if?Which is the best?
Aguero or lukakuWho do you recommend me of the two?
Guendouzi or pogba or AouarNeed one of the three players and need u to help me. Think out price too. Thanks!
I've been starting regular Lukaku on and off. He feels slow and clunky to me. I have not played with Kane as he does not fit in my team, so I can not give any tips on him.
Aub is a total monster... I have the POTM version and his stats over 160 games with a goal every two games are better than my Prime Ronaldinho and Maradona. The only one who is better ratio-wise is POTM Rashford with almost a goal a game over 41 games so far.

June 6, 2018 Pretty Much a Press Release
Kim Boerema comes to Iron Hill from The California Pizza Kitchen, where he served as chief operating officer.
Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant recently announced a management and board-level transition that it hopes will accelerate the company's growth trajectory throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Culinary veteran Kim Boerema has been named chief executive officer following the appointment of Kevin Finn to chairman of the board. Finn, a co-founder of the company, has spent more than 20 years at the helm of Iron Hill. Under his leadership and that of cofounders Mark Edelson and Kevin Davies, Iron Hill employs more than 1,400 staff members, has operations in 14 locations and is poised for further expansion. The three founders remain active in every aspect of the business, ensuring a fully integrated and authentic food and beer experience — from tap to table.
"I'm honored that our Board has entrusted me with the great responsibilities of chairmanship," said Finn, who will also lead the company's real estate ventures. "My time as president has been incredibly rewarding, but this is both the next logical step for me, and the right time to take it. Our foundation is strong, our processes and protocols sound, and our staff is the best in the business. I am genuinely proud of them and pleased to turn over day-to-day command to Kim, an outstanding leader whose business acumen, drive and operational knowledge foster success at every turn."
Boerema comes to Iron Hill from The California Pizza Kitchen (CPK), where he served as chief operating officer. Prior to his seven years at CPK, Boerema was a vice president of Texas Roadhouse, a regional vice president of Brinker International and a general manager of Bennigan's. He is a seasoned executive with 32 years of leadership experience in the culinary industry. During that time, he opened more than 200 restaurants across the country.
"I am privileged to become the CEO of Iron Hill," said Boerema. "For years I have been a fan of the brewery and restaurant, seeing firsthand the pride, artistry, effort and raw talent of its staff. There is attention to detail in every meal and beer, all made from scratch using the finest ingredients; care and precision with every plating and pour; and an insistence that absolute freshness is not an optional luxury, but a self-imposed demand by the men and women of Iron Hill so that every guest receives the best.
"As we move forward and continue our strategic expansion, I see great things ahead for our guests, staff and this company."
Iron Hill serves local communities, brews its own craft beers on-site, and offers a full food menu made from scratch daily. It prides itself on excellent service and direct engagement with the guest throughout the entire experience. Demonstrative of the company's aggressive expansion plans, Iron Hill opened its newest location in Delaware's Rehoboth Beach on May 24. This followed the award-wining group's Greenville, S.C., opening on May 1.

Polizeibataillone waren paramilitärische Einheiten der Ordnungspolizei des nationalsozialistischen Deutschlands während des Zweiten Weltkriegs.

Aufstellung
Die Ordnungspolizei (uniformierte Polizei) unter Kurt Daluege hatte im Jahr 1939 zur Unterstützung der Wehrmacht 21 Polizei-Bataillone mit je rund 500 Mann aufzustellen, die ihre ausgebildeten Mannschaften zur Bildung weiterer Bataillone abgaben.

Polizeibataillone wurden ab Kriegsbeginn in Polen eingesetzt. Die Mannschaft der Pol.Res.-Bataillonen setzte sich aus Männern der  Hilfspolizei zusammen. Hilfspolizisten (ab Dezember 1939 "Polizeireserve") wurden bereits ab 1938 für den Mobilisierungsfall ausgehoben und an Wochenenden trainiert. Es handelte sich um etwas älter ungediente Männer der Jg. 1901–1909, sie wurden von der Wehrmacht freigegeben und über die Notdienstverordnung mobilisiert. Nur ein kleiner Teil der Hilfspolizisten/Polizeireserve kam in Pol.Res.Bataillone, diese wurden lokal aufgestellt, die Nummerierung entspricht den jeweiligen Wehrkreisen.

1940/41 wurde weitere Polizei-Bataillone mit den Nummern 251–256 (Anwärterbataillon) und 301–325 (Wachtmeisterbataillon) aufgestellt. Deren Mannschaft setzte sich aus ungedienten Wehrpflichtigen der Jahrgänge 1918–1920 und 1909–1912 zusammen, die sich nach Kriegsbeginn mit Genehmigung und Mitwirkung der Wehrmacht für den Dienst in der Schutzpolizei melden konnten (Verordnung über die Einstellung von Wehrpflichtigen in die Schutzpolizei des Reichs, veröffentlicht am 6. November 1939, RGBl. S. 2137). Die Mannschaft dieser Wachtmeister- und Anwärterbataillone war nicht nur jünger als jene der Res.Pol.Batl., sondern auch besser militärisch ausgebildet. Sie kamen mit einem  Einberufungsbefehl der Wehrmacht in eine Polizeikasernen und wurden mehrere Monate trainiert. Der Dienst wurde als Wehrersatz anerkannt.

Polizeibataillone sollten eroberte/besetzte Gebiete sichern und die Sicherungsdivisionen der Wehrmacht entlasten. Sie wurden aber auch Einsatzgruppen der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD zugeteilt und für die Ermordung von Juden und von Zivilisten in eroberten Gebieten eingesetzt. Im weiteren Kriegsverlauf kamen auch sie vermehrt in Frontbereichen zum Einsatz (Rückzug) und waren direkt Wehrmachtsteilen unterstellt.

Aus allen 1942 bestehenden Polizeibataillonen wurden durch Erlass O.Kdo. I O (3) Nr. 184/42 v. 9. Juli 1942 des Reichsführer SS und Chef der deutschen Polizei Heinrich Himmler 28 motorisierte Polizei-Regimenter gebildet. Jedes Regiment umfasste 3 bis 4 Bataillone sowie je eine Nachrichten-, Panzerspäh- und Panzerjäger-Kompanie. Die Polizeibataillone verloren ihre Bezeichnung/Nummerierung und wurden mit römischen Ziffern (I./II./III./IV./-) ihres Regimentes bezeichnet.

Am 24. Februar 1943 wurde allen Polizeiregimentern ein SS vorangestellt, sie blieben jedoch Einheiten der Ordnungspolizei. Die Umbenennung diente vor allem der Unterscheidung zu den kurz darauf (29. März 1943) aufgestellten Polizei-Schützen-Regimentern, die von deutschem Personal geführt, deren Mannschaft jedoch aus angeworbenen Männern besetzter Gebiete rekrutiert wurde. Ihre Nummerierung beginnt mit 31.

Zwischen Oktober 1943 und Oktober 1944 wurden aus Südtirolern zudem die vier zusätzlichen Polizeiregimenter "Bozen", "Alpenvorland", "Schlanders" und "Brixen" aufgestellt.

Geschichte
Beim Überfall auf Polen waren die Polizeibataillone bereits ab September 1939 im Einsatz und wurden anfangs für die Gefangennahme versprengter Soldaten, das Einsammeln des vom Gegner zurückgelassenen Kriegsgerätes und für die Bewachung von Kriegsgefangenenlagern eingesetzt. Im weiteren Verlauf des Krieges begingen Polizeieinheiten auch Kriegsverbrechen wie Verschleppungen und Massenmorde. Klemp kommt in seiner Studie zu dem Schluss, dass direkten Aktionen der ca. 50.000 Bataillonsangehörigen "mindestens eine halbe Million Menschen" zum Opfer fielen. Er hatte Daten zu 125 Bataillonen ermittelt. Mindestens 75 davon standen im Verdacht, direkt oder indirekt an Massenverbrechen beteiligt gewesen zu sein. In der Bundesrepublik wurde ab 1954 gegen Angehörige verschiedener Bataillone ermittelt, es kam zu Verurteilungen und Schuldsprüchen.
