I write things.
June 26, 2019 June 24, 2019 jenlynthawsleyLeave a Comment on Inspiration
At the beginning of this series of posts, I talked about how much I love music, especially the lyrics of songs, because I love the way a songwriter can tell a story in 5 minutes or less with just a couple of hundred words. I really do love that and admire it and sometimes envy it. I'm just blown away by that ability. I love words and I have a bit of an uncanny memory for words, but I actually don't think in words. I know that's a totally bizarre thing for a writer to say, but it's true. I think in metaphors and pictures. So when I hear songs, I'm not only hearing the words and the music, but in my head, I can see that entire story playing out like a movie. When I write, that's what I'm doing. I'm transcribing the movie that's playing in my head and putting it down in words. And since I think in pictures and metaphor, I connect things up in my brain a lot. Things that maybe don't seem connected on the surface…that maybe a 'normal' person wouldn't even make a connection between.
When I'm writing a story, I'm usually listening to music, and my musical taste is all over the board, so what I'm writing often gets colored by whatever I'm listening to at the time. I was on a Vance Joy binge when I was writing Unscripted and Unedited. He has two songs that I can't separate from Max and Samantha when I hear them. If you've read those books, I hope you see the connections I made. When I heard these songs as I was writing this story, I saw the story Vance Joy told in them unfurl in greater detail in my head. I'm going to write another post in a few days about another song that I connect with Max and Sam, and it's even more…traditionally a love ballad than these Vance Joy ones today. Like, it's a Middle School Slow Dance song. Seriously.
For those who've read the books, it might feel strange to think of my weightiest, most complicated, and arguably most serious couple dynamic, and by far the most 'adult' material I've ever written into a love story with peppy, upbeat, and maybe even sugary sweet pop love songs, but…listen to the lyrics and you'll get it (I hope).
This first one I saw as kind of a duet (even though this version is not a duet) that both Max and Sam felt/lived…Fire and the Flood.
My favorite line in this one is in the chorus:
"Everything is fine when your head's resting next to mine."
I feel that way about J. I hope he feels that way about me too. Life can be hard. My anxiety can run amok and make life even harder than it really should be. But knowing I get to lay down at night next to J…whatever it is, is not that bad. I know everything's gonna be ok eventually. Everything's ok in that moment when his head's resting next to mine. And I feel like Max and Sam have that same kind of 'as long as we're here together, we'll figure it out,' kind of thing happening together too.
And this one kind of sounds like something Max would say to Samantha when she's worried about being too much or not enough in general, but particularly for him…Mess is Mine.
My favorite line in this one is in the bridge:
"Bring me to your house; tell me 'sorry for the mess.' Hey, I don't mind."
I apologize a lot. For expressing needs and desires and feelings. For things that might make J and other people I care about feel bad, or uncomfortable, even when I had nothing to do with it. I apologize for things I like. For…existing. This is a behavioral trait a lot of people with anxiety and a lot of women in general have. I know this. And I've been consistently working on NOT apologizing for just being myself or for needing or wanting anything or for having feelings or for things that aren't my fault for years. I still do it, even with all the work. Unnecessary apologizing is a really hard habit to curb. But I do it much less frequently with J than with other people. Because he's always kind of said that line to me, just not with that exact phrasing. And he's never told me it wasn't a mess, either. A lot of folks do that and think it's supportive love…telling you what you want to hear…benevolent dishonesty.
'Sorry for the mess.'
'Oh, it's not a mess!'
But…you know it kind of is. To YOU it is. J has always done, 'Hey, I don't mind,' instead. Like…yeah, it's a mess. So what? It's you. So I don't mind. Like…I'm allowed to be a mess sometimes and he loves me anyway. That part of Max and how he treats Sam came directly from J and how he's always treated me.

Archive of animal migration in the Arctic
A global archive with movement data collected across three decades logs changes in the behaviour of Arctic animals
Warmer winters, earlier springs, shrinking ice, and increased human development—the Arctic is undergoing dramatic changes that are impacting native animals. Researchers from around the world have now established an archive for data documenting movements of animals in the Arctic and Subarctic, hosted on the Movebank platform at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Radolfzell, Germany. With the Arctic Animal Movement Archive, scientists can share their knowledge and collaborate to ask questions about how animals are responding to a changing Arctic. Three recent studies from the archive reveal large-scale patterns in the behaviors of golden eagles, bears, caribou, moose, and wolves in the region, and illustrate how the archive can be used to recognize larger ecosystem changes.

Researchers have long been observing the movements and behaviour of animals in the Arctic. However, it has been difficult to discover and access these data. To address this problem, an international team led by Sarah Davidson, data curator at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Radolfzell, and Gil Bohrer, professor at the Ohio State University, have established a NASA-funded global data archive for studies of animal migration in the Arctic and Subarctic.
The aim of the Arctic Animal Movement Archive is to network scientists and promote their cooperation. This is particularly important because the Arctic region extends around the world. Researchers from over 100 universities, government agencies and conservation groups across 17 countries are involved in the archive, which is hosted on Movebank, a research platform developed by Martin Wikelski, director at the Max Planck Institute. "Our goal is to use the archive to build a global community across institutions and political boundaries", says Wikelski. The archive currently contains over 200 projects with the movement data of more than 8,000 marine and terrestrial animals from 1991 to the present.
Migration patterns of golden eagles

Researchers recently published a set of discoveries bringing together data and expertise using the archive. By comparing movements of more than 100 golden eagles from 1993 to 2017, researchers found that immature birds migrating north in the spring arrived earlier following mild winters. However, the arrival time of adults has remained rather constant, regardless of conditions at their breeding grounds, with consequences for nesting and chick survival. "Our approach revealed the importance of assessing data that span generations and decadal climate patterns, that when ignored can dramatically affect our results and consequently management strategies", says Scott LaPoint, scientist at Black Rock Forest.
A second study of more than 900 female caribou from 2000 to 2017 found that more northern herds are giving birth earlier in the spring, while the calving dates of more southern populations have not shown the same change. "The ability to look at biological processes, like birth, at such a large scale, across populations and subspecies and over millions of square kilometres, is unprecedented for a species in such a remote and harsh environment. These results reveal patterns that we would not have suspected, and point to further lines of inquiry about everything from caribou evolution to their ability to adapt to environmental changes moving forward," explains Elie Gurarie from the University of Maryland.
Distinct responses to climate change
A third analysis looking at the movement speeds of bears, caribou, moose, and wolves from 1998 to 2019 showed that species respond differently to seasonal temperatures and winter snow conditions. "How animals respond to variable weather conditions through movement will have interesting implications for species competition and predator-prey dynamics," says Peter Mahoney, who conducted this research while at the University of Washington.
In addition to the hundreds of studies already included in the archive, the resource is continually growing, as data are transmitted from animals in the field and as more researchers join. This should help to detect changes in the behaviour of animals and ultimately in the entire Arctic ecosystem. "We are also providing a much-needed baseline of past behaviors and movements", says Davidson. "This can be used to improve wildlife management, address critical research questions, and document changes in the Arctic for future generations".

Sofa Lema Mustique. Maltese designer Gordon Guillaumier designed Mustique for Lema, a comfortable sofa, perfect for closed configurations, at best in the leather version, it is wide yet elegant alongside being essential and formal, its name refers to an island of the Grenadines influenced by the idea of a live and happy place where you are destined to relax. A structure consisting of two "Hs" in burnished or brushed metal, with a thin section, supporting the upholstered linear base unit, covered by the seat cushions, creating a double soft layer making the design more linear. Cushions are all regular in shape, a parallelepiped, in different sizes according to the functions, and coverings are rendered more precious by a detailed sewing following and underlining each shape. A calibrated composition offers a perfectly balanced design, a sort of neo-plastic composition where each unit is correctly placed and plays its role. Soft surfaces with rounded corners stand out for the additional high cushions, bent to follow the back.


In our practice we meet as a team weekly for at least two hours. In addition to ongoing training, we discuss what's going on in our counseling sessions. Without sharing confidential information, we describe difficult marital situations, various therapeutic approaches and the overall trends we're seeing. That's 14 counselors and coaches bringing decades of experience to the table, exchanging observations and pooling our knowledge to provide the very best guidance for our clients.
I'm not bragging (well, maybe a little), but I say all this to let you know that what follows is more than just my perspective – it's true within our practice as well as among other marriage therapists with whom we network.
Holding on to the idea that your spouse is the problem.
During counseling, focusing more on your spouse's efforts than your own.
Ignoring or minimizing how your personal behaviors contribute to the relationship issues.
If this is the attitude with which you're entering counseling, it's highly likely to sabotage the process, starting with how you interact with your counselor.
Are you trying to sway the counselor?
Folks, I can't emphasize strongly enough how damaging this is to the counseling process, and to ultimately saving your marriage. Starting counseling with a focus on what your spouse is doing wrong is like wearing the proverbial rose-colored glasses. No matter what you look at – no matter what your counselor talks you through – you'll see everything with a reddish-pinkish hue, regardless of what the reality actually looks like. Until you take off those glasses and look at yourself, you'll always be stuck at square one.
Any counselor worth their salt will see your bias immediately and know it must be dealt with before anything else in the marriage. Dr. Pearson echoes this, saying that when someone walks into his office with this attitude, that's the person he focuses on first.
Bottom line, allowing yourself to focus on your spouse's issues wastes your time, and your spouse's and your counselor's, not to mention that it costs you money as well.
The truth is the problem is not you or your spouse, it's both of you. By its very nature, relationship involves two parties – two people who have to merge their different backgrounds, their unique personalities, and their different life experiences into a productive, intimate partnership. Both of you have behaviors that are difficult to live with, and both of you have responses to one another's behaviors that only make the problem worse. Walking into counseling with your eyes wide open to this fact will jump start you into truly productive therapy.
Are you willing to look at yourself as hard, or harder, than you look at your spouse?
For every change that you ask of your spouse, are you willing to commit to a corresponding change in yourself?
This is hard, I know – because believe me, I've been there myself. But I 100% guarantee that couples who make the best progress most quickly are the ones who are willing to look at themselves first rather than point fingers at one another. Our counselors and coaches have helped hundreds of clients make the most of their counseling, right from the start. They're ready and waiting to help you.

Of 'dog-naming' and the law
By Muhammed Adamu
I was just contemplating what subject to write about when my colleague and friend NaAllah Zagga forwarded to my mail box one of many pieces trending on-line on the controversial naming of a dog 'Buhari' in Sango-Ota, Ogun State, by one Joe Chinakwe, a trader. This particular piece titled: "NAMING A DOG 'BUHARI', POLICE IMPUNITY AND THE LAW", was written by one Inibehe Effiong, a lawyer who apparently could not hide his indignation that the Police acted on the complaint of what he chose to describe as "an unnamed Mallam" said to be "an alien from Niger Republic".
Right there in the opening paragraphs of a supposedly neutral legal opinion written by a 'lawyer' who claimed to have no motive other than helping to enrich the jurisprudence of our law, is the use of the derogatory phrase "unnamed Mallam" even when 'an unnamed resident' would have been more professionally appropriate. Not to add to the fact that in quite un-lawyer-like fashion, Effiong had also relied on mere 'hearsay' to conclude that the person whose complaint led to the arrest and detention of Chinakwe was "an alien from Niger Republic" as if –assuming this was true- an ECOWAS citizen duly resident with us will, by reason merely of that, lose the right to lodge a complaint to the Police in his country of residence.
And not being a lawyer myself, NaAllah still wanted my 'lay' opinion concerning this issue. And why not? The 'law' by the way is not so much about 'knowing the law' as it is about 'knowing where and how to find the law'. Or so said one of Britain's most celebrated judicial minds, Lord Denning: that God should "forbid the day that a lawyer should know all the know", because it is sufficient merely that a lawyer knows "where to find the law".
In truth people do -and have the right to- give their pet dogs any names, including those usually borne by humans –like Jegede, Adamu, Okoro or Ekaite. The test of whether they do so in contempt or in reverence of any who bears the same name, will be a strictly a subjective one in the eyes of the law. As Shakespeare would say, "there is no art to find the mind's construction on the face". And as with the right to give pet dogs human names, so is the right for humans too –if they wish- to bear any names, including those commonly borne by dogs, -like 'Jack', 'Bobby', 'Mark' or even the more fashionably –even if restrictively- doggy one, 'Bingo'. Nothing spoil. But what people are not known to do –even though they may have the right to, under the law- is to inscribe the 'human names' they have given their pet dogs on both sides of the animal's body so that whenever they walk the dog around, or conversely in the case of the aged, whenever 'it' has the doggy duty to walk them around, people can easily tell by name who the dog is even if they do not know the name of its master. Nor do people, even if with malice aforethought –and especially in a deeply polarised society like ours- walk their 'dog' engraved with the name of the President through a community of people by whom obviously that 'name' (obviously because that President bears it), is revered possibly to a point of apotheosised liturgy.
The writer cited a "definitive position" of the Supreme Court of Canada in Frey v. Fedoruk where it held that: "Conduct, not otherwise criminal and not falling within any category of offences defined by the criminal law, does not become criminal because a natural and probable result thereof will be to provoke others to violent retributive action", adding that "acts likely to cause a breach of the peace are not in themselves criminal merely because they have this tendency". The Court, he said further, stated that: "It is for Parliament and not for the Courts to decide if any course of conduct, which has not up to the present been regarded as criminal, is now to be so regarded." But in truth the law is what the courts –or judges- say it is and not necessarily what the legislator or the statute says it is. And judges do not pronounce what the law is drawing only from the letter –to the exclusion of the spirit- of the law.
But truth is the law in statute may state what 'general conduct' will be criminal and thus subject to the Criminal Code; but it is judges really who determine what 'specific' elements will conduce to bring any specific 'conducts' within the contemplation of the written law. It is the reason that allied to the apparent power of judges to 'INTERPRET' the law, is also the power to 'construe' the law –which is to say that besides gleaning meaning from the wordings of the law, judges have an even tougher duty to assemble the disparate elements and spirit of the law in order to 'construct' meaning or to discover the intention of the legislature where such is doubtful or where, -by reason of conflicting provision or the absence of provision-, such is not there.
I thought that it is not first to ask whether the Constitution prescribes or proscribes a particular conduct but maybe better first to ask 'what in the circumstance is likely or most probably to happen as a result of that conduct'! If –advertently or inadvertently- there is no written law prohibiting the lighting and smoking of cigarette in gas station, should it then be a right doggedly to be defended in spite of the potentially dangerous consequences doing so is most probably to cause?
To hide under a nebulae of constitutional rights and guarantees as justification to deliberately and premeditatedly –even if needlessly- conduct oneself in a manner capable of inciting people to violence or causing a breach of the public peace cannot be one of the intendments of any legal system anywhere in the world! Nor does it matter that those likely to be moved to anger or violence by such provocative conduct have no justification too under the law to be so moved. It is sufficient merely that the provocative conduct is needless in the first place –even if it is lawful- and that it is very likely to incite to violence. And maybe it is the reason that 'provocation' is one of the many defenses available in law to a person accused even of murder.
Many say that former President Goodluck Jonathan was equally so derogatorily treated by some APC supporters. Morally-speaking –or arguably legally-speaking too- it was as wrong for any to have done that even then, as it is wrong even now to do so to the incumbent.
Nonetheless it would have been operationally absurd if the Police had gone about arresting everyone who had named his dog 'Jonathan' as it will also be today, to arrest all who name theirs 'Buhari'. But if any previously had named his dog 'Jonathan' and had engraved that name on both sides of the body of his dog, and if he had deliberately and premeditatedly walked that dog through a community of people he knew predominantly to be either of Jonathan's ethnic or political extraction, then it would have been incumbent on the Police to have arrested and prosecuted that person.
Not necessarily because he merely named his dog 'Jonathan' but because in his choice of how to celebrate his pet dog's 'naming event' he had fallen into a conduct within the contemplation of Section 249(1)(d) of the Criminal Code which states that: "Every person who, in any public place, conducts himself in a manner LIKELY to cause a breach of the peace, shall be deemed idle and disorderly person, and may be arrested without warrant, and shall be guilty of a simple offence, and shall be liable to imprisonment for one month".
It is thus preposterous citing as the writer did Section 36(12) of the Constitution which states that:"Subject as otherwise provided by this Constitution, a person shall not be convicted of a criminal offence unless that offence is defined and the penalty therefore is prescribed in a written law", because indeed the offence allegedly committed by Chinakwe does not fall under the category of offences not known to our corpus juris.
The writer also cited the case of Nelson Ohanyere v IGP (in which the Supreme Court espoused the test for determining whether a conduct is likely to cause a breach of the peace) and in which Justice Jibowu said: "The test to be applied is whether the conduct of the accused was such that a breach of the peace MIGHT REASONABLY have ensued", adding that "the fact that no breach of the peace, in fact, took place is irrelevant." It is rather mischievous in the instant case of Chinakwe to suggest that the judgement of 'reasonable likelihood' of breach of public peace in the conduct of the alleged offender is hinged merely upon naming his pet dog 'Buhari' (which they insist is not known to our laws), and not that he conducted himself in a provocative and inciting manner likely to cause a breach of the public peace.
Chinakwe is not being prosecuted for an offence that is not known to law. The offence (not of naming a dog 'Buhari') but of 'conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace is duly 'defined' in a 'written law', the Criminal Code, and the 'penalty' therein expressly prescribed'.
To suggest –as the write did- that what Chinakwe did walking a dog he named and tagged 'Buhari' in a predominantly Hausa community in Sango-Ota did not amount to conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace, or that such conduct does not come within the contemplation of Section 249(1)(d) of the Criminal Code, is either cheaply mischievous, reckless or plainly ignorant!
The writer also cited a Canadian case of a man convicted for peeping to look at a woman "preparing for bed" but who was acquitted on appeal on the grounds that his conduct did not come under 'act likely to cause a breach of the peace' because 'the act of peeping was not in itself a crime". Of course merely peeping at a woman preparing for bed –even where this is expressly legislated against- can only be justification for Police arrest and investigation but not necessarily an act likely to incite to violence the kind that Chinakwe had planned to cause.
Nothing by the way should suggest that even naming a dog by a particular person's name where that action bears proven malice, cannot be stretched to constitute an offence if not under criminal law at least under any of the tort laws with a criminal flavour. The proof of whether calling someone a 'dog' is derogatory or complimentary is not to be left strictly to the contemplation of the moral mind to the exclusion of the legal mind. Indecency, for example, which is more a moral vice than it is a legal wrong is one of the many congruent areas around which law and morality overlap –thus making 'indecent conduct' both 'mala in se' (offensive to morality) and 'mala prohibita' (which the law forbids).
And thus Section 231 (2) of the Criminal Code is unambiguous in providing that: "Any person who willfully and without excuse does any INDECENT act in any place with intent to INSULT or OFFEND any person is guilty of a misdemeanor, and is liable to imprisonment for two years". Even as liberal jurists persist in separating law from morals; or as philosophers attempt to differentiate between illegality and sin, the argument still remains that morals and not strict law should serve as validity criterion for rule of law". Lord Delvin argued that law should be used "to enforce and uphold the community's moral standards" because law cannot afford to ignore 'conducts that provoke wild feelings of reprobation, mixture of intolerance, indignation and disgust'.
This proposition received judicial support in the notorious English case of Shaw v. DPP (or what was popularly called the 'Ladies Directory') in which the defendant, Shaw, published a 28-page book advertising the names, addresses, telephone numbers and sexual services of prostitutes. This was not considered an offense, because no such crime was known to law at that time. But Shaw was still arrested, charged and convicted under Common Law for 'conspiracy to corrupt public morality'. In fact, Shaw's appeal to the House of Lords failed and Viscount Simons made a landmark statement, orbiter when he said: "In the sphere of criminal law, I entertain no doubt that there remains in the courts of law, a residual power to enforce a supreme and fundamental purpose of the law, to conserve not only the safety and order but also the moral welfare of the state".
The law, he said, "must be related to the changing standards of life, not yielding to every shifting impulse of popular will but having regard to the fundamental assessment of human value and purposes of society", adding not only that the court is 'custos morum' (guardian of morals) but that "there is in that court a residual power (where no statute has yet intervened to supersede the Common Law) to superintend those offences which are prejudicial to public welfare."
So, Supreme Court can reverse self?

Q: What's the best Mac custom disk image creation app? I'm looking for a custom disk image creation app that I can integrate into the build process for my app (which means I need to be able to run it from the command line if possible).
My desired features are that it will size the image for me, let me set the location of my icons when the image is opened, set a custom background/icon, etc.
Free would be nice but if there's something that does exactly what I need I'll pay for it.

A: DMG Canvas seems to do everything I need, including the ability to build from the command line.

A: You can also hack together something using AppleScript. Here's a handy example.

Ken-Caryl Ranch is a picturesque master planned development nested in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The monument and wayfinding signs reflect the history of the area and were inspired by its agricultural roots and natural western landscape. Buff colored stacked stone, rough hewn redwood beams and rustic hardware set the tone and a lasting impression of the Ken-Caryl Ranch brand.
Ken-Caryl Ranch Masters Association, Arthouse Design & ADCON collaborated to create signage in harmony with the natural landscape of this beautiful residential community.


Since 1996 I have been working with children, families and couples. I have worked with countless children, parents, families, teachers, doctors, social workers and other professionals during my years as a Marriage Family Therapist Intern and then as a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist.
Coming to the realization that you need help for your child, yourself or for you and your partner can be scary and anxiety producing. We often view the need for help as a sign of weakness or as sign that something is bad or wrong.
I use a strength based approach in my work. My goal is to help my clients identify their strengths and use those strengths to make positive changes in their lives. I believe that we all have noble intent behind our actions, meaning we want to make choices that will enhance our lives but emotional pain and life events sometimes causes us to make choices or engage in ways that are maladaptive or cause us more pain.

Growing up in southern California means spending a lot of time being driven around. It means sitting at four-way stops a lot, hanging for the opportunity to make a right turn. Every so often, while sitting for an eternity at a stop as a flood of cars moved past, my dad would say, "Here comes everybody and their brother!" The absurdity of this comment! Doesn't 'everybody' include the brothers? Why are brothers singled out? I was waiting to make a turn the other day and I said, "here comes everybody." A batch of cars passed and another appeared, and my son said, "and now here comes the brothers." I guess I'd been saying this too.
Every family has these sayings, collected from odd moments. Stupid jokes no one found funny until they are repeated and lose meaning, or ridiculous movie dialogue that stuck in someone's ear. At the beach or a pool, my father would call out, "don't get your feet wet!", whenever my brother and I would make our way toward the water. We were obedient enough to pause before dismissing it, momentum ruined.
I asked my dad once where he gotten that particular joke from: he told me his dad. In one of the few moments as a teen when I unselfishly paid attention to the relatives outside my immediate family, I asked my grandfather from where he'd gotten it. He said from his dad. Four generations of a silly joke.
This is the nature of cultural heritability. If such small things as silly sayings can cross multiple generations, imagine the totality of what we pass on, in kindness, strength, and love.
"You can't stop progress!" -- Muriel's Wedding, 1994 Passing other people feels like progress. There's so little certainty about what our meaningful advances truly are--at work, at school, with family--that it's easier to judge ourselves using relative speed. Who has accomplished what, and by when? Am I behind, or lapping my peers? But relative speed is an illusion. The arc of our lives is unpredictable, making the meaning in our lives unknowable until time has lapped us. Live for now; leave ...

Biografia
Dopo aver studiato recitazione al Teatro d'arte di Mosca dal 1901 al 1904, dal 1905 si esibì nei teatri di Poltava, Tbilisi, Riga, Odessa, Voronež e Mosca. Nel 1913 debuttò come attrice cinematografica nel film Le chiavi della felicità di Jakov Protazanov e Vladimir Gardin, suo marito. Divenuta rapidamente una « diva », ottenne grande successo nei film ai quali partecipò, quali Guerra e pace e Nido di nobili di Gardin. In quest'ultimo film ebbe la parte di Liza, e la rivista « Sine-fono » scrisse nella recensione che « Liza la s'immaginava proprio che ce l'ha presentata O. Preobraženskaja: triste e pensierosa, con qualcosa di monastico nello sguardo, come un presentimento del destino che l'attende ».

Ol'ga Preobraženskaja fu anche sceneggiatrice, aiuto regista di Gardin e dal 1918 fu insegnante della Prima scuola statale di cinematografia di Mosca. Diplomata nel 1923 al Teatro d'Arte di Mosca, dal 1925 riprese l'attività di regista girando tre film per bambini, La verità di Fed'ka, Kaštanka e Anja. Del 1927 è il suo film più popolare, Le donne di Rjazan', che apparve anche nelle sale italiane, mutilato dalla censura fascista, col titolo Il villaggio del peccato. Dal 1928 lavorò spesso insieme con Ivan Pravov, sceneggiando e dirigendo in particolare La città luminosa, L'ultima attrazione, Il placido Don e Il ragazzo della tajga, del 1941, che fu il suo ultimo film.

Nel 1935 fu insignita del titolo di « Artista onorata della RSFSR ».

If you are a mother, you already know the joy that having a child brings to your life. Many women are unable to experience that same joy on their own, which is why surrogacy is such a positive development in today's modern world. If you want to bestow the gift of motherhood on another individual and you want to see a child brought into this world in the care of loving parents, you might want to consider becoming a surrogate yourself. Being a surrogate is a serious responsibility, so it's important to first understand what the process may involve and what the requirements will be.
This is mandated by law the states with surrogacy laws on the books. It is also important as we want to know that you've already enjoyed the thrill of motherhood by giving birth to your own baby and you fully understand what is involved. This requirement is in place so that surrogate mothers can demonstrate that they have already successfully become pregnant and have brought a fetus to full term. We also consider your emotional attachment to the surrogate baby. Until you've given birth, it's impossible to predict how you may react.
Surrogate mothers will need to demonstrate that they are living a healthy and active lifestyle. It is important to know that the mother can endure the stress of pregnancy, and this means eating healthy and engaging in a lifestyle that will provide maximum benefits to the infant growing inside of you.
While surrogate mothers are financially compensated for their role in the pregnancy, it is important that they be financially independent from the outset. This is because surrogate agencies want to know that the surrogate is entering into this arrangement for the right reason and that money is not the sole basis for their decision.
Numerous studies show that smoking during pregnancy can be extremely harmful to the development of the fetus. For this reason, surrogate mothers should not have a recent history of smoking. Clinics will test you to ensure this before approving the application.
These are some of the ways one can become a surrogate mother. It is a great feeling to give the joy of motherhood to another individual, so consider becoming one if you fit within these lifestyle guidelines. If you would like more information, give us a call at 1-866-41-SURRO or contact us online. We look forward to hearing from you!


The network put out a fiery statement in defense of Ingraham, and she went on the offensive on Monday.
An effort to kneecap Laura Ingraham's television career has run into a stumbling block: Fox News, her employer, has demonstrated no interest in getting rid of her.
Ingraham's primetime show has been losing advertisers since March 28, when she mocked Parkland high school student and shooting survivor David Hogg on Twitter for getting rejected from four colleges he applied to. Her show has lost more advertisers over the last few days, as Blue Apron, SlimFast and Red Lobster have either pledged to pull advertising or confirmed it was already pulled.
Over the first three days of this week, her show has averaged only seven minutes of national paid advertisements per night, compared to the 15 minutes and 5 seconds of national ads that ran on her show each of the two nights prior to her tweet about Hogg, according to new data from research group Kantar Media. Her Monday show included 10 ads, her Tuesday show included 12 ads, and her Wednesday show included 11 ads, compared to the 31 ads that ran during her March 26 show and the 37 ads that ran during her March 27 show. Her Thursday show, however, was up, with 16 commercials airing.
Ingraham's top advertiser this week has been MyPilllow, which is run by an early supporter of Donald Trump's presidential campaign who has pledged to keep supporting Ingraham's show. "I make all of my advertising decisions based on what is best for MyPillow, my employees and my customers," said CEO Mike Lindell. Asked if he was surprised by the staying power of the boycott, he said, "I don't pay attention to what other advertisers are doing. I focus on what is best for MyPillow."
Beyond apologizing to Hogg a day after her offending tweet, Ingraham has not done or said anything to stem the tide of advertiser defections. On Monday, her first day back on the air after taking off last week for a pre-planned Easter vacation, Ingraham did not directly address the controversy and spent much of her show attacking unidentified critics on the "Left" for trying to curtail the free speech of conservatives like her. (She retweeted The Hollywood Reporter's story noting that she "made no apologies" during the show.) On her show Thursday night, Ingraham criticized corporations "that just wilt" under pressure from "left-wing" activists, but did not name names.
Ingraham has been buoyed by a statement from a top network executive, Jack Abernethy, who said on April 2, the first day of her vacation, that she would most definitely return to the airwaves the following week. "We cannot and will not allow voices to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts," he said at the time.
A person familiar with Fox News' ad sales strategy said there's been no impact on the company's bottom line, as advertisers who have pulled out of Ingraham's show have either moved their spend to other shows or are holding the money in reserve.
Explaining the lower amount of ad time during Ingraham's shows this week, the person said it changes from week to week, and can be done intentionally to help boost ratings.
SQAD, an organization that measures the cost of advertising, said that Ingraham's show has seen previous, week-over-week drops in price throughout the first quarter of the year that make the drop between last week (when she was on vacation) and this week seem less noteworthy.
Longtime New York Times advertising columnist Stuart Elliott compared the effort to pressure Ingraham's advertisers to the campaign to oust O'Reilly, which was successful. "I think it's highly notable in that so many major brands have left her show, and it happened so quickly," he said.


NelsonHall's market analysis "Next Generation Healthcare Payer BPS" details the current state of the market and analyzes the ramifications of the most significant trends for both the buyers and vendors of BPS.
Unsustainable economic and demographic trends make it likely that the U.S. health insurance market (and associated BPS vendors) will be significantly disrupted during the medium to long term.
Commercial payers are now more receptive to outsourcing provider services; care management; and quality/compliance.
Payers will value highly BPS vendor adaptability in face of market disruption.
Commercial payers and their BPS vendors are experimenting with digital transformation in BPS settings, but thus far seem disinterested in large scale BPaaS offerings.
Secular and technology trends resemble those in the commercial health insurance market, but they tend to drive change at slower rates.
Public agency efforts to restructure contracts and competition will not affect dominance of DXC or Conduent substantially. BPS vendors will spearhead automation, but progress will be moderate.

Support Is Ending For Windows 7 (Questions & Answers)
Microsoft announced that they are stopping mainstream support for Windows 7. This is a popular operating system, so this announcement creates concern for many. All support for Windows 7 will end on January 14, 2020.
What Does Support Ending Mean For Your Business?
This means that you won't get bug fixes or security updates from Microsoft. Over time, the security and reliability of Windows 7 will make your computers vulnerable:
Your computers could be infected by malware,
Your antivirus won't be updated,
Your online banking transaction protection may expire, and
Your financial data could be exposed to theft.
Does This Mean Windows 7 Won't Be Reliable?
Yes – your applications may not be updated, your other software could be incompatible, utilities won't be supported, and new devices may not connect to your system.
Computer manufacturers will no longer support Windows 7. This means things like printers, desktops, laptops and more won't be guaranteed to work as they should. Your security programs and third-party browsers won't support Windows 7. When you browse the Web, you could be exposed to cyber threats. All of this will take place over time.
Should You Purchase A New Computer?
It's not too early to upgrade to Windows 10. Just be sure that your hardware will support it. If you're using Windows 7, getting a new device with the Windows 10 operating system is recommended. Today's computers are faster, more powerful and durable.
Newer computers also have a longer battery life and provide increased security. Modern computers are typically less expensive than they were eight years ago. Total cost of ownership studies conclude that it's wise to replace your computers at least every four years.
What Are The Benefits Of Upgrading From Windows 7 To Windows 10?
Upgrading to Window 10:
Makes computers run smoother and faster.
Provides a more economical use of memory and disk space.
Improves security.
Boots up your computer from sleep mode faster than before.
Provides many other benefits.
You can also benefit from features that Windows 7 doesn't provide:
Cortana – a personal assistant that runs on artificial intelligence (AI).
Search the Web right from your desktop.
Get reminders based on time, places, or people.
Quickly add a virtual desktop.
With Windows Apps new applications are available on all of your devices.
A brand new browser – Edge – that's better suited to the modern web.
Track packages, teams, interests, and flights.
Create and manage lists.
Chit chat and play games.
Find facts, files, places, and info fast.
Open any app on your system.
With Windows 10's new application programming interface called Windows RunTime, your Windows Store Apps are remotely installed and updated. They can also be cleanly uninstalled.
There are RunTime apps for Mail, Photos, Maps, Calendar, Groove Music and more. And you can easily download any of the 700,000 applications from the Windows Store.
How Long Will It Take To Upgrade To Windows 10?
This depends on the age of your computer and how it's configured. It should only take an hour to do after you've downloaded the operating system. New devices upgrade much faster. This is another reason to consider a new computer if it's four years old or older.
Do You Have More Questions About Upgrading To Windows 10?
Every Windows operating system has a lifecycle. HitsTech will keep you updated on important lifecycle dates. We can help you make informed decisions about when to update, upgrade or make other changes to your software or hardware.
HitsTech has offices in both Raleigh and Conover, NC. We can help your organization make the choices that are best for you. And we can migrate your IT environment to Windows 10.

Sir Terepai Tuamure Maoate  (1 September 1934 – 9 July 2012) was Prime Minister of the Cook Islands from 18 November 1999 to 11 February 2002. He was a member of the Cook Islands Democratic Party.

Maoate was born in Rarotonga on 1 September 1934, and educated at Ngatangiia Primary School, Fiji School of Medicine, and the University of Auckland (New Zealand).  He worked as a medical doctor before becoming Director of Clinical Services for the Ministry of Health in 1976.

Maoate was elected to the Cook Islands Parliament as MP for Ngatangiia in the March 1983 general election.  He subsequently served as Minister of Health and Agriculture in the Democratic cabinet of Tom Davis, and between 1985 and 1989 was also Deputy Prime Minister.

In 1998, Maoate became Leader of the Democratic party and Leader of the Opposition.  The 1999 election produced a hung Parliament, and following several coalition realignments, Maoate became Prime Minister.  He was ousted by his former Deputy Prime Minister Robert Woonton on 11 February 2002, and subsequently became Leader of the Opposition.

In early 2003 the Democratic Party re-merged, and Maoate was reappointed to cabinet, replacing Cook Islands Party leader Geoffrey Henry as Deputy Prime Minister.  However the arrangement did not last, with Maoate resigning and tabling a motion of no-confidence in the government in November.  Continued factional infighting saw Maoate fail to become Prime Minister after the 2004 elections, when a group of Democratic Party MPs split to back Jim Marurai.  However, a coalition realignment in 2005 saw Maoate reappointed as Deputy Prime Minister again.
In July 2009, he was given the additional position of Foreign Minister.

In December 2009 Maoate was sacked as Deputy Prime Minister in favour of Robert Wigmore, sparking a mass-resignation of Democratic Party cabinet members and the withdrawal of support for the government.  He was subsequently replaced as Democratic Party leader by Wigmore in June 2010.

In September 2010 he failed to be reselected for his Ngatangiia seat after losing a run-off.  He subsequently decided to run as an independent, but was unsuccessful.

Maoate was knighted in 2007.

Maoate died on 9 July 2012 aged 77.

People get hurt, frustrated and discouraged for a number of reasons. Some people create their own troubles through wrong decisions and actions. Many people suffer at the hands of others or simply because of circumstances beyond their control. This is especially true for those who are facing tough times through no fault of their own.
I would like to take you on a personal journey. A journey during which you're going to have to be brutally honest with yourself. No matter how difficult, hold onto hope, because there is healing in this journey that we will take together!
Also, I provide an interfaith ministry of presence, comfort and support for Emergency First Responders. These support services are provided to our hereos: Clergy, Military Personnel, EMS, Fire, Law Enforcement and Dispatch agencies, on-scene/behind scene activities, hospitals and hospice facilities; all with an emphasis on critical incident stress, trauma and suicidal ideation.
People are hurting and searching frantically for hope and new life. Christian counseling is defined as a triadic healing encounter, facilitated by a Pastoral trained individual who assists this redemptive, healing process, helping another get unstuck and moving forward on the path to spiritual maturity and psycho-social-emotional health.
Your counseling experience will utilize guided questioning, empathetic support, problem definition, reflection/reading assignments and encouragement, to those who are hurting and in need. "We truly care about your well being and are here to assist you."
My reflection: "By understanding the process and path of brokenness, you begin to heal. If you can understand the why of your wounds, then the how of coming out of your pain will begin to make sense."
Tuff Services Ministries is an interfaith (non-denominational) ministry. Christianity is our chosen foundational path and we believe that Jesus Christ is our higher power and saviour. But, you may have a different belief system. We are not here to judge, convert, change, influence or even persuade you to change your own current belief system. We are here however, to provide tools and resources to support you, so you can improve your own spiritual connection and create more of an intimate relationship between you and your higher power. Our organization exists entirely on the fees received from our annual memberships, tools and resources provided and by the proceeds received from our on-line website store.
The TUFF Services Ministries is officially chartered and it's existence is validated as an independent ministry, through the National Association Of Christian Ministers. We are committed to strengthen confidence in every part of your life and to encourage personal and spiritual growth, through many resources that are biblically rooted, culturally relevant and highly practical.

For many years I have been preaching the gospel of Christ to many different people, and now I am preaching to you, my beloved flock. I tried my best to teach you the highest Christian virtues. I really wanted you to understand the law of Christ well and apply it in your life. I have untiredly called you to Christian perfection, because the Lord asks us, "Be perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect" (Matt. 5:48).
I have always operated in this manner. The holy apostle Paul, the bearer of the Holy Spirit, who had the mind of Christ and had acquired the highest wisdom, before which mine is very weak, did likewise. Listen to what he says: "And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to infants in Christ. I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?" (1 Cor. 3:1-3).
Did I not do the same? I almost always gave you only solid food and very rarely did I remember the milk that is necessary for infants in Christ. I considered you Christians who are not far from fulfilling the whole law of Christ. Was that my mistake? Did I not do it right? No, I do not regret it, because the apostle Paul himself did not always feed his flock with milk, like infants. He wrote fourteen epistles, with very deep content, in which he presented things with very lofty meanings, concerning our faith. He did not always feed them milk, but he also gave them solid food. If I often talked about perfection and rarely in my sermons did I turn my attention to the "heavy" sins, to protect you from them, I did so because I thought that most of you are no longer infants and are able to accept solid food.
Twice the Lord God revealed to the people His will, His law. This was first done in ancient times by the prophet Moses on Mount Sinai, where God led His chosen people when He freed them from slavery in Egypt. Then He gave them the law, the most important part of which was the decalogue, that is, the ten most basic commandments, which you too must know very well. All these commandments of the law of Sinai forbid the most "heavy" sins: such as idolatry, the worship of gods other than the One and True God. They also forbid swearing in the name of God, and other such "heavy" sins, such as murder, theft, adultery, slander, false testimony against our neighbor, and envy for what our neighbor has.
When our Lord Jesus Christ came to earth, He gave us a new law and new commandments, the Beatitudes. In His parables He taught us perfection and the highest virtues. That's why I fed you solid food and rarely did my sermons seem like milk, food for infants. But now the Lord has recently corrected me through a woman who always follows my sermons. I received a letter from her, which fell like lightning in the atmosphere and made me think a lot and made me remember those people who still need milk.
In this letter, this woman asked me to speak in one of my sermons on theft, because an unpleasant event had taken place. She had an acquaintance, whom she often saw in the temple and considered a true Christian. One night she called her to her house and let her sleep there. We have to say that on that day, the woman who wrote me the letter got her pension, with which she lived. In the evening, because she was very tired, she forgot her purse, where she had all the money, on the table. In the morning, when her acquaintance left, the woman saw that some of the money was missing. Her acquaintance did not take all the money from her, only one hundred of the two hundred rubles. But no matter how much she took, what matters is this stinking sin, the theft.
Concerning this sin, the apostle Paul wrote in his letter to the Corinthians: "Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Cor. 6:9-10). Did you hear this? Did you also hear you who took the money? You will not inherit the Kingdom of God, because of the theft you did! I consider it necessary to supplement what the apostle Paul said with the fact that even the false witnesses, who testify falsely against their neighbor, will not, of course, inherit the Kingdom of God. Oh, how despicable is this sin, theft, which is forbidden to us by the eighth commandment of the law of Sinai! Oh, how the thief hurts the hearts of the people he is robbing! How difficult it is for a poor man to lose almost all his property. The thief does not think how deeply he hurts the human soul with this, while he makes the wrath of God break out on them, and the stigma of the thief is on them and the contempt of the people. This applies to theft in general.
But there is also the worst kind of theft, sacrilege, that is, when one steals what belongs to the Church. Sacrilege is firstly the theft of the liturgical utensils used in the Church and secondly the theft of the Church's money. You bring this money, many times from your insufficient funds, and yet the non-God-fearing sacrilegious steal it. In the old days, rich people became commissioners of a Church, who from their surplus could be benefactors of the Church and even build new temples. There are no such commissioners today. Twice in my province I have been forced to expel commissioners, and even elderly people, for stealing Church money, and I am well aware that many of those seeking the position of ecclesiastical commissioner want to have it first for the access to the church funds. Woe to you, the sacrilegious!
I will touch on the other sins and transgressions that are so prevalent in our day, among those which prevail among the little flock of Christ, or even among its shepherds. Do you know how much people suffer from false testimony? Do you know how many innocent people have suffered a lot because of a false testimony that some people have filed against them? A respected high priest had written to me how much he suffered because of a false testimony against him, by the priests of his parish who were jealous of him because of the lucrative position he held. This worthy priest suffered for many years because of this false testimony.
You know how widespread is another very serious sin that the holy apostle Paul speaks about in his Epistle to the Ephesians: "But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints" (Eph. 5:3). I could name many others. Adultery, false testimony, slander, jealousy, all of these must disappear from our lives and their names must not be heard among Christians. But how widespread is adultery today? I know that one of you, who came to church regularly with his honorable wife, suddenly left his wife because he found another. This unfortunate man did not think about how much he hurts his wife.
You, adulterers, false witnesses and thieves! Be frightened and hasten to repent before your spiritual father, for these grievous sins can only be forgiven if you repent sincerely and wholeheartedly. Hurry, then, because our lives are short and we must hasten until our death to repent of all our impurities, especially of our grievous sins. Amen.

Vaccine Injury: Another Milestone and Compensation Trending Downward
Updated 9:13 PM EDT, Sat June 12, 2021
By Jefferey Jaxen
By Wayne Rohde
Late last summer the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) reached a milestone that no one should be proud of. The total amount of compensation and fees paid out for injuries and deaths as the result of the influenza vaccine crossed the $1 Billion dollar threshold. This represents over 25% of the entire outlay from the Program was the result of injuries and deaths from the Influenza vaccine. This vaccine was only approved in 2005. I wrote about it here.
PETITION FILINGS
Now we are approaching another milestone, the total number of petitions filed in one fiscal year. The benchmark was notoriously achieved in 1991 with 2,718 filings and was nearly matched in 2003 with 2,592 filings. In 1991, the program required petitioners within a given timeframe for Hepatitis B injuries. In 1992, the petition filings dropped to 189 and remained steady until 2000.
(data source)
The vast majority of 2003 petitions (2,592) were autism related. The following year, 2004, saw 1,214 filings. The 2004 figure alone, if not for 2003, could have served as the high-water mark for the next 13 years. Most years the figure was between 350-600 petitions filed.
It was not until 2017 that we see petition filings approach the 2004 figure of 1,214. And sadly, since 2017 with 1,243 filings, we are now seeing a consistent reporting of annual petitions above 1,200. This is due to the Influenza vaccine injuries such as shoulder injuries and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS).
However, in the current fiscal year of 2021 which ends September 30, 2021, there is a strong possibility of breaking the 2003 mark of 2,592. It appears that if petitions continue to be submitted to HRSA seeking compensation at the same rate as the last couple of months, the new mark could be 2,600 or greater. Will it overcome the 1991 mark of 2,718? It is possible? Many petitioners filed in January and February of this year due to the proposed rule by Secretary of HHS to remove SIRVA or shoulder injury and syncope or fainting as Table injuries in the NVICP, to beat the clock of February 22, 2021.
However, since the Biden Administration has removed this proposed action, we are still witnessing large numbers of petitions being submitted. Adults are still injured in large numbers. There are a few petitions for children being filed but the vast majority are adults. Attorneys representing injured persons are busier than ever. Many attorneys in this field work 80-90+ hours per week.
COMPENSATION AWARDS
The downward trend that has gone unnoticed by many is the average compensation amount per award. The figure is compensation for the injured person, excluding attorney fees and medical expert costs. And HRSA does not publicize this figure in their monthly statistics report.
In fiscal year 2010, the average compensation was $1,036,921.05 according to HRSA records. Of course, they will not supply this figure directly. But anyone can simply divide the total amount paid out ($179,387,341.30) by the number of damage awards (173). And the $1 million dollar figure will serve as the high point for the next 11 years.
In FY2020, the average compensation stood at nearly $250,000, which is only 25% of FY2010. For this year's amount it appears to be closer to $280,000.
Why the dramatic decrease? In my opinion there are several reasons.
The Influenza vaccine was approved for the Program in 2005 and has become the dominate vaccine causing injuries.
The shift from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP), a children's compensation program, to what I call the National Adult Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NAVICP). Over 92% of all compensated petitions in FY 2019 and 2020 were adults. Adult shoulder injuries and to a lesser degree, GBS cases dominated the program.
Policy changes within our Federal Government to protect the Vaccine Program. No more petitions such as DTaP causing early onset of seizures and epilepsy, SIDS, Autism, Gardasil causing debilitating injuries.
Childhood vaccines are administered as multiple vaccines at one time versus adult vaccines tend to be administered one vaccine during the doctor's office visit. Generally, it is more difficult, costly, and requires lengthy adjudication with hearings and medical experts to prosecute a petition for a child with multiple vaccines and the alleged injuries as compared to an adult case of influenza vaccine causing a shoulder injury
Next year there may be more disturbing trends to discuss that are currently forming. It is a never ending, sometimes maddening observation of a federal judicial system that has turned its back on children and their parents.
CLOSING QUESTIONS
Finally, during the last ACIP committee meeting in May 2021 there was a vote and overwhelming approval without any studies, reports or documents supporting the vote, to combine COVID vaccines and childhood vaccines during the same doctor appointment. Now if a child suffers an injury from the administration of a COVID vaccine and Gardasil, how and where does the parent go for compensation? COVID vaccine injuries currently belong in the CounterMeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) and Gardasil belongs in the NVICP. Can an injury petition claiming Gardasil which caused GBS be successful in the NVICP, or will our government claim the injury petition should have been prosecuted in the black hole, known as the CICP?

Companies and other legal entities incorporated in Belgium now have to collect and hold information on their Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs). Directors will be responsible for submitting this information to the Belgian UBO register in a timely manner, and may be penalised if they fail to comply with this obligation.
On 20 May 2015, the Fourth Anti-Money Laundering Directive was adopted by the European Parliament and Council (Directive). Among the provisions in the Directive is the requirement that EU Member States set up, by 26 June 2017, a UBO register that lists the UBOs of companies and other legal entities.
In order to comply with the Directive, Belgium must introduce a UBO register that records the UBOs of companies and other legal entities incorporated in Belgium.
The Law of 18 September 2017, which implements the Directive and introduces the Belgian UBO register, was published in the Belgian Official Gazette on 6 October 2017.
As a rule, UBOs who must be reported in the Belgium UBO register are the natural persons who ultimately own or control the legal entity in question, and/or on whose behalf a transaction is executed or a business relationship is entered into.
Natural persons who hide behind intermediaries also count as UBOs. They are broadly defined as natural persons who benefit, or will benefit, from a transaction or business relationship and who, de iure or de facto, directly or indirectly, have the power to decide on the execution of the transaction or the business relationship and/or to determine or agree to the modalities involved.
The natural persons who hold the position of senior managing official in cases where no natural persons can be identified on the basis of the guidelines above, or if there is any doubt that the identified persons are the ultimate beneficiaries. According to the explanatory memorandum, in most cases the person who holds the position of senior managing official will be the CEO or the chair of the executive committee.
Any other natural person who controls the foundation or the (I)NPO through other means.
Settlors/founders, trustees, protectors (if any), beneficiaries and any other natural persons who ultimately control a trust or fiduciary through direct or indirect ownership or other means are considered UBOs of trusts or fiduciaries. If the beneficiaries have not yet been appointed, the category of persons in whose interest the trust or fiduciary has been set up or operates must be reported. According to the explanatory memorandum, only express trusts are targeted for now.
This will remain without consequence for the time being, as trusts and fiduciaries do not exist under Belgian law. By already introducing the definition, however, the legislature anticipates the adoption of the Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive, which is expected to extend to Member States that have a link with the trust, the obligation to report who the UBOs of trusts are.
Natural persons with functions equivalent to those of UBOs of trusts and fiduciaries will be considered UBOs of entities that are similar to trusts and fiduciaries. A Royal Decree will publish a list including the legal entities similar to trusts.
The Belgian UBO register will list at least the name, date of birth, nationality and address of each UBO. This is more than the minimum information required under the Directive (name, month and year of birth, nationality and country of residence).
For UBOs of companies, detailed information on the nature and extent of the beneficial interest they hold should also be included in the UBO register.
Regarding foundations and (I)NPOs, only information relating to the UBOs mentioned under b.(v) and b.(vi) should be included in the UBO register (information under b.(i) to b.(iv) is already publicly available in the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE)).
All Belgian legal entities (companies, foundations and (I)NPOs) are required to collect and hold information on their UBOs. The Directive requires that the information be sufficient, accurate and current).
Directors of companies, foundations and (I)NPOs must report the UBO information required within one month after it becomes known or is changed. The information must be reported electronically. A Royal Decree will include the modalities involved.
Apart from the sanctions that already exist for infringing the Belgian Companies Code, administrative fines of between EUR 50 and EUR 5,000 may apply to directors who do not comply with these obligations.
The Belgian UBO register will be established within the Ministry of Finance. The service responsible within the Ministry will be in charge of collecting, managing and controlling the quality of the information reported. The conditions regarding access to the UBO register will be laid down in a Royal Decree.
In principle, access to the UBO register will be granted only for anti-money-laundering and anti-terrorist-financing purposes.
The Law of 18 September 2017 was published in the Belgian Official Gazette on 6 October 2017 and entered into force 10 days later. One or more Royal Decrees will also have to be published before directors will be able to report the information required to the Belgian UBO register.
