Wondering what to wear on those muddy spring days?
Dan and I went for a short hike (ok, most definitely it was a walk ;)) at Evergreen Brickworks the other day and I was totally channeling my inner English countryside girl with this outfit. England does rainy season so well! What's the 'recipe' for perfecting that rainy day look you may ask? Quality denim, a button up top, a waxed jacket, and of course, topped off with a pair of rubber boots!
These Cougar rubber boots arrived in the mail just in time for the wet season to start. Growing up in the country, rubber boots were such a spring staple. I still have a pair by the front door at my parents' house for when I walk across to our barn or take the dogs for a walk (that pair is now upgraded, thank goodness!). I chose this Cougar pair because they are a step up from your everyday rubber boot with the striped detailing, the shiny rubber, and a small heel. Yet, they are still durable and super comfortable. I picked up this thin jacket from Anthropologie a few weeks ago and it felt perfect for the occasion as well. The weather has since snapped back to cold but I can't wait to wear this when spring hits again and I know it will be a summer night staple with denim shorts and cute flowy tops.
Your jacket and boots are perfection! Love your outfit and how you styled everything.
Those little rain booties are adorable! I have a similar pair and love them!

Justia Patents Organic Sulfate Or Sulfonate ContainingUS Patent Application for COMPOSITION COMPRISING TAUROURSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID Patent Application (Application #20140369942)
COMPOSITION COMPRISING TAUROURSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID
Provided is a method for preventing or treating a periodontal disease; or a method for improving oral hygiene, including administering a pharmaceutical composition containing tauroursodeoxycholic acid as an active ingredient.
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a periodontal disease; and a composition for improving oral hygiene, comprising tauroursodeoxycholic acid as an active ingredient.
Periodontal diseases such as dental caries are known as one of the most common chronic diseases in the field of dentistry. Dental caries, which is generally known as 'tooth decay', is a disease caused by gradual irreversible destruction of the hard tissues of the teeth (e.g., enamel, cementum and dentin). Periodontal diseases are induced mainly by bacterial film on the teeth. It is known that numerous microorganisms are present in the bacterial film on the teeth. It has been reported that the microorganisms in bacterial film on the teeth metabolize sugars to form an organic acid, thereby destructing the hard tissues of the teeth. Microorganisms in oral cavity form a biofilm, which is called as dental plaque. Toxic bacteria or toxins produced by them in the dental plaque invade the periodontal tissues to induce gingival inflammation, alveolar bone destruction and infection, which results in periodontal diseases. And also, an acid produced by such bacteria become a cause of dental caries.
As microorganisms inducing periodontal diseases and dental caries in oral cavity, are known Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguis, Actinobacillus viscosus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, etc. It is known that anaerobic microorganisms, among the microorganisms inducing periodontal diseases, produce inflammatory toxins; and therefore it is also important to inhibit or prevent the resulting immune responses. During the progress of inflammation in the periodontal disease, tissue destruction also occurs. When cell walls and tissues are damaged by the stimulus of bacterial endotoxins and other substances, membrane phospholipids in the cell wall are digested by an enzyme to release free arachidonic acid, thereby producing PGE2 and matrix metalloproteinases. Collagenase is one of the representative matrix metalloproteinases. Therefore, it is required in the art to develop an agent having both antimicrobial activity against periodontal disease-inducing bacteria and inhibitory effect against collagenase activity.
Korean Patent No. 10-0333445 has disclosed that ursodeoxycholic acid and/or chenodeoxycholic acid inhibit collagenase activity and thus are useful for an oral hygiene composition for preventing or treating periodontal disease. However, it has not disclosed whether or not ursodeoxycholic acid or chenodeoxycholic acid has an antimicrobial activity against periodontitis-inducing Streptococcus mutans, etc.
DISCLOSURE Technical Problem
The present inventors performed extensive search over various target materials, in order to develop agents having both antimicrobial activity against periodontal disease-inducing bacteria and inhibitory effect against collagenase activity. Surprisingly, it has been newly found by the present invention that tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), one of the bile acid derivatives, has both excellent antimicrobial activity against periodontitis-inducing Streptococcus mutans and remarkable inhibitory effect against collagenase activity. Especially, it has been newly found that, in comparison with ursodeoxycholic acid, tauroursodeoxycholic acid has about two times more strong inhibitory activity against collagenase at the same concentration.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a pharmaceutical composition for treating a periodontal disease or a composition for improving oral hygiene, which comprises tauroursodeoxycholic acid.
In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a periodontal disease, which comprises tauroursodeoxycholic acid as an active ingredient.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a composition for improving oral hygiene, which comprises tauroursodeoxycholic acid as an active ingredient.
In the composition of the present invention, said tauroursodeoxycholic acid may be present in an amount ranging from 0.0001 to 2 wt/wt %, based on the total weight of the composition.
The composition of the present invention may further comprise bamboo salt. Said bamboo salt may be present in an amount ranging from 0.1 to 20 wt/wt %, based on the total weight of the composition. The composition of the present invention may further comprise xanthorrhiza oil. Said xanthorrhiza oil may be present in an amount ranging from 0.00001 to 0.1 wt/wt %, based on the total weight of the composition.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the composition may further comprise bamboo salt and xanthorrhiza oil. In said embodiment, the composition of the present invention may be formulated into a composition where the concentrations in oral cavity of tauroursodeoxycholic acid, bamboo salt and xanthorrhiza oil become 0.005 to 0.02 w/v %, 0.8 to 1.3 w/v % and 0.002 to 0.004 w/v %, respectively; preferably 0.01 w/v%, 0.8 to 1.3 w/v % and 0.003 to 0.004 w/v %, respectively.
The composition for improving oral hygiene may be in a form of a paste for dentifrice, a liquid for oral rinse, or a chewing gum.
ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS
It has been newly found by the present invention that tauroursodeoxycholic acid, one of the bile acid derivatives, has both excellent antimicrobial activity against periodontitis-inducing Streptococcus mutans and remarkable inhibitory effect against collagenase activity. Especially, it has been newly found that tauroursodeoxycholic acid has about two times more strong inhibitory activity against collagenase at the same concentration, in comparison with ursodeoxycholic acid having a similar structure thereto. Therefore, the composition of the present invention can be usefully applied not only for preventing or treating a periodontal disease but also for improving oral hygiene.
BEST MODE
The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a periodontal disease; and a composition for improving oral hygiene, which comprises tauroursodeoxycholic acid as an active ingredient.
Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), which is the conjugate form of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and taurine, is present in human bile acids and in a bear's gall bladder. TUDCA, along with UDCA, has been widely prescribed as a therapeutic agent in hepatic diseases since a long time ago. Recently, its anti-apoptotic effects for cell survival have been reported in retinal cells, brain cells, cardiac muscle cells, in addition to hepatic cells. There are being performed various researches regarding the UDCA/TUDCA effects on apoptosis-associated degenerative diseases and ischemic diseases. And also, it has been reported that TUDCA inhibits the apoptosis of nerve cells caused by various stimuli.
The present inventors have found that said TUDCA has both excellent antimicrobial activity against periodontitis-inducing Streptococcus mutans and remarkable inhibitory effect against collagenase activity. Especially, the present inventors have found that TUDCA has about two times more strong inhibitory activity against collagenase at the same concentration, in comparison with UDCA having a similar structure thereto. Therefore, TUDCA can be usefully applied for a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a periodontal disease, and for a composition for improving oral hygiene. In the composition of the present invention, said TUDCA may be present in an amount ranging from 0.0001 to 2 wt/wt %, preferably from 0.02 to 2 wt/wt %, based on the total weight of the composition.
As used herein, the term "periodontal disease" refers to a disease involving damages in the periodontal ligament and the adjacent tissues, which are caused by bacterial attack on the bottom of the gum line of the V-shaped gap between the gingiva and the teeth. Specifically, said periodontal disease may be one or more selected from the group consisting of gingivitis, periodontitis, and dental caries.
The pharmaceutical composition or the composition for improving oral hygiene of the present invention may contain supplementary ingredients in addition to TUDCA, for example, one or more supplementary ingredients selected from fluoride compounds (e.g., sodium fluoride, sodium fluorophosphate, fluoroamine, tin fluoride, etc.), bamboo salt, chlorhexidine, tranexamic acid, allantoins, caproic acids, enzymes, and extracts of medicinal herbs (Phellodendri cortex, Platycodi radix, Schizonepetae herba, Gardeniae fructus, Glycyrrhizae radix, Sanguinaria radix, etc.). The supplementary ingredients should not adversely affect on the TUDCA activity, i.e., antimicrobial activity against S. mutans and inhibitory activity against collagenase.
In an embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition or the composition for improving oral hygiene of the present invention may further comprise bamboo salt and/or xanthorrhiza oil, in addition to said TUDCA.
Bamboo salt is the salt obtained by eliminating harmful ingredients through heating salt at high temperature repeatedly. Bamboo salt neutralizes the acid corroding the dental dentin, since it has a strong alkaline pH of 10-11. And also, bamboo salt promotes the growth of harmless oral microorganisms, thereby being able to suppress the microorganisms inducing dental caries and periodontitis (Yongouk You et al., Journal of Korean Research Association for Purple Bamboo Salt. Vol. 1. No. 1.49-55, 2003). And also, bamboo salt contains metal ions, such as Zn, Cu, Sn, thereby being able to inhibit acid formation by oral microorganisms. In addition, periodontitis can be treated by its osmotic action. Said bamboo salt may be present in an amount ranging from 0.1 to 20 wt/wt %, preferably 1 to 10 wt/wt %, based on the total weight of the composition.
Xanthorrhiza oil, which is also referred to as 'curcuma xanthorrhiza oil', is an oil extracted from the root of Curcuma xanthorrhiza, one of the Indonesian medicinal plants, the oil of which is commercially available. Xanthorrhiza oil comprises substances such as xanthorrhizol, etc. It has been reported that xanthorrhizol, the major substance, has an excellent antimicrobial effect, especially an excellent antimicrobial effect against the dental caries-causing S. mutans (Hwang J K, Shim J S, Baek N I, et al. Planta Med 66:196-7 (2000)). Said xanthorrhiza oil may be present in an amount ranging from 0.00001 to 0.1 wt/wt %, preferably 0.0001 to 0.1 wt/wt %, based on the total weight of the composition.
Surprisingly, it has been newly found by the present invention that a composition comprising tauroursodeoxycholic acid, bamboo salt, and xanthorrhiza oil in a certain amount ratio can accomplish synergistic effects in antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus mutans. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the composition may further comprise bamboo salt and xanthorrhiza oil. In said embodiment, the composition of the present invention may be formulated into a composition where the concentrations in oral cavity of tauroursodeoxycholic acid, bamboo salt and xanthorrhiza oil become 0.005 to 0.02 w/v %, 0.8 to 1.3 w/v % and 0.002 to 0.004 w/v %, respectively; preferably 0.01 w/v %, 0.8 to 1.3 w/v % and 0.003 to 0.004 w/v %, respectively.
When the composition of the present invention is formulated to a pharmaceutical composition, the composition may be formulated into an oral dosage form such as liquid, suspension, pastes, etc., along with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier comprises water, a base material for paste, etc. If necessary, the carrier may comprise sweetening agents and/or flavoring agents. Said TUDCA of the pharmaceutical composition may be orally administered in an effective amount ranging from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg per day to a patient suffering from periodontal disease. Of course, the dosage may be changed according to constitution of the composition or the patient's age, susceptibility, symptom, etc.
When the composition of the present invention is formulated to a composition for improving oral hygiene, the composition may have the form of a paste for dentifrice (i.e., toothpaste form), a liquid for oral rinse (for example, a gargling liquid form), or a chewing gum, along with conventional additives. For example, in case of preparing a paste for dentifrice, the composition may include conventional additives for toothpaste, such as polishing agents, wetting agents, binding agents, foaming agents, sweetening agents, perfumes, acidity regulating agents, whitening agents, etc., which may be appropriately selected from known literatures. And also, in case of preparing a liquid for oral rinse, the composition may be prepared by dissolving TUDCA and optionally additional supplementary ingredients (for example, bamboo salt, xanthorrhiza oil, etc.) in water or an ethanol solution. If necessary, the liquid for oral rinse may include agents for providing refreshing feeling, perfumes, sweetening agents, preservatives, etc.
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the following examples. These examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
EXAMPLE 1 Evaluation of Inhibitory Activity on Collagenase
The inhibitory activities of tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) on collagenase were evaluated according to an azocoll assay method. Azocoll, Azo dye-impregnated collagen, is not dissolved in Tris-buffer. If azocoll is degraded by collagenase, it shows blue color. Therefore, by reacting said test materials with azocoll and then measuring the respective absorbance, the inhibitory activities of said materials on collagenase can be determined.
2% Azocoll solution (200 μl) and a buffer solution (0.01 M Tris-HCl, 1 mM CaCl2, pH 7.8) (150 μl) were respectively added to the 6 test tubes to obtain the solutions (Solution A1 to A6). Each solution (100 μl) obtained by dissolving TUDCA or UDCA in 10% ethanol in various concentrations was added to the solutions A1 to A6, so as to obtain the final concentrations of 1.600 w/v %, 0.533 w/v %, and 0.178 w/v %, respectively. Collagenase (50 μl) having 100 ppm concentration was added to the respective test mixture, which was then stirred in a 37° C. incubator for 18 hours. Each test tube was centrifuged for 5 minutes. The supernatant was separated from each test tube and then added to a 96-well plate. The absorbance at 540 nm was measured by a spectrophotometer and then the activity of the test group was determined from the standard activity curve. The standard activity curve was separately prepared by adding 10, 25, 50, and 100 μl of collagenase to the azocoll solution.
The collagenase-inhibitory ratio of TUDCA to the collagenase-inhibitory ratio of UDCA was determined according to the following formula and the results thereof are shown in Table 1.
Comparative inhibitory activity=[Collagenase-inhibitory percentage of TUDCA/Collagenase-inhibitory percentage of UDCA]*100
TABLE 1 Concentration of test material Comparative inhibitory activity (w/v %) (%)
1.600 227.17 0.533 252.56 0.178 264.75
From the results of the above Table 1, it can be seen that TUDCA has about 2.3 to 2.6 times strong inhibitory activity against collagenase at the same concentration, in comparison with UDCA.
EXAMPLE 2 Evaluation of Antimicrobial Activity Against S. mutans
We evaluated antimicrobial activities of TUDCA (PRODOTTI CHIMICI E ALIMENTARI S.p.A. Co., Italy), bamboo salt, xanthorrhiza oil (curcuma xanthorrhiza oil having 22-35% of xanthorrhizol, 'Curcuma Xanthorrhiza Essential Oil' extracted from Curcuma Xanthorrhiza Root, Daewoong Bio Inc.), and a mixture thereof, against S. Mutans. Briefly, to each well of a 96-well plate, were added 100 μl of BHI broth (Brain Heart Infusion broth, Sigma-Aldrich) and each test material in two times higher concentration than the concentration shown in the following Table 2. S. mutans was cultured in BHI broth (Brain Heart Infusion broth, Sigma-Aldrich) at 35° C. for 24 hours. Absorbance at 600 nm of the S. mutans-containing culture medium was adjusted to 0.063 to 0.12 and then the resulting culture medium was diluted to 1/500. The diluted S. Mutans-containing culture medium (100 μl) was added to each well of the 96-well plate. The 96-well plate was incubated at 35° C. for 24 hours, followed by measuring the O.D. values at 600 nm with a spectrophotometer for obtaining the respective growth inhibition percentage. The results thereof are shown in the following Table 2.
TABLE 2 TUDCA Bamboo salt Xanthorrhiza oil Growth inhibition (w/v %) (w/v %) (w/v %) ( %)
1 1% — — 51 ± 13 2 0.5% — — 38 ± 16 3 — 0.5% — 0 4 — 0.25% — 0 5 — — 0.007% 77 ± 18 6 — — 0.0004% 0 7 1% 0.5% 0.007% 65 ± 15 8 1% 0.5% 0.0004% 54 ± 5 9 1% 0.25% 0.007% 58 ± 10 10 1% 0.25% 0.0004% 54 ± 11 11 0.5% 0.5% 0.007% 59 ± 30 12 0.5% 0.5% 0.0004% 51 ± 17 13 0.5% 0.25% 0.007% 47 ± 35 14 0.5% 0.25% 0.0004% 63 ± 18
From the results of the above Table 2, it can be seen that TUDCA has effective growth-inhibition activity against periodontal disease-inducing S. mutans. And also, it can be seen that, even when TUDCA coexists with other components, such as bamboo salt and xanthorrhiza oil, TUDCA still maintains the growth-inhibition activity against S. mutans. Therefore, TUDCA has excellent antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus mutans, as well as remarkable inhibitory effect against collagenase activity. Accordingly, it is expected that TUDCA can be usefully applied to a composition for treating a periodontal disease and to a composition for improving oral hygiene.
EXAMPLE 3 Evaluation of Synergistic Activity
Antimicrobial activities against S. mutans were evaluated using TUDCA in a relatively low concentration. Using the same kinds of TUDCA, bamboo salt, and xanthorrhiza oil, the evaluations of antimicrobial activity were carried out in the same manners as in Example 2. The results thereof are shown in the following Table 3.
TABLE 3 TUDCA Bamboo salt Xanthorrhiza oil Growth inhibition (w/v %) (w/v %) (w/v %) (%)
1 0.01% — — 13 2 — 1.3% — 47 3 — 0.8% — 7 4 — — 0.004% 54 5 — — 0.003% 19 6 0.01% 1.3% 0.003% 99 7 0.01% 0.8% 0.004% 99 8 0.01% 0.8% 0.003% 52
From the results of the above Table 3, it can be seen that the groups containing TUDCA in a relatively low amount (about 0.01 w/v %) along with bamboo salt and xanthorrhiza oil showed remarkable synergistic effects in growth-inhibition activity against S. mutans. Therefore, if applied to the oral cavity, the composition of the present invention may be formulated into a composition where the concentrations in oral cavity of tauroursodeoxycholic acid, bamboo salt and xanthorrhiza oil become 0.005 to 0.02 w/v %, 0.8 to 1.3 w/v % and 0.002 to 0.004 w/v %, respectively; preferably 0.01 w/v %, 0.8 to 1.3 w/v % and 0.003 to 0.004 w/v %, respectively.

Well it's official. The Diagnostics Tracking Service is now a permanent part Windows 7.
Microsoft first introduced DiagTrack with KB3022345. Then they tried to sneak it back in with KB3068708 and again with KB3080149.
With these patches you could install or uninstall them and everything else was fine.
Now it is back with KB3192403 – October 2016 Preview of Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
As the name suggests, this update is a preview of what is to come and is an optional update. It will become a standard update next month.
Now you must disable it via services.msc or in the registry.
DISABLE this via the Services snap-in (services.msc) or manually via the registry. I provided the key above.
For some time now I've been seeing posts about disabling the Diagnostics Tracking Service in Windows 7.
This is unnecessary. Uninstall it instead.
Microsoft continues to play games with its customers. The new update is below.
"Microsoft has been increasingly aggressive in its attempts to push consumers to download Windows 10. Starting today, the company is upping the ante once again. As of now, Windows 10 is now classified as a "Recommended" update, which means many Windows 7 and 8.1 users will download and begin the installation automatically.


Practical, intelligent and efficient - for digital track and switch inspection MessReg CDM is the benchmark!
The globally tried and proven measuring system provides automatic continuous data capture with impressive levels of precision: Pre-defined measuring points are automatically detected and stored, and any tolerance infringements are colour-highlighted while the measurement is in progress. This means it takes just a few minutes to fully check a switch or a section of rail. Comments can be entered at any time, including indications of the track's condition at specific positions. The measurement report is evaluated and outputted in digital form immediately after the measurement procedure.
Continuous measurement with MessReg CDM also provides comprehensive track documentation. Alongside the pre-defined measuring points, the track gauge and cant values are recorded automatically at 5 mm intervals.
The measuring system is rounded off by an all-weather computer notebook running a powerful software package. The software includes the actual data capture program, graphical data display and evaluation programs, and professional track and switch management functionality.
Note: MessReg CDM is the first and to date only continuously measuring switch inspection system approved by Deutsche Bahn.

Jewish Wealth
Hedging their Bets (Who Really Decides Elections)
January 12, 2020 /19 Comments/in Featured Articles, Jewish Wealth, Jews in Economy/Finance /by John Q. Publius
If you like your healthcare provider/free speech/immigration policy/country you can keep it!
"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics," a quote often attributed to, appropriately enough, Benjamin Disraeli. The salad days of Joe Wilson yelling, "You lie!" at Barack Obama seem so long ago, but here we are with a steady diet of more Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi. Alas, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Or do they? Was the grass greener or was I? Certainly Emma Lazarus's sonnet wasn't a beacon for the world's wretched refuse when the West was won and two fratricidal World Wars were still on the horizon. But the rough beast was already slouching toward Bethlehem, and by the time Donald J. Trump was clamoring to see Barack Hussein Obama's birth certificate the beast had been born and grown to adulthood.
In any case, it was a republic and we couldn't keep it; instead, Jewish hedge fund managers and plutocrats decide under what guise the neo-liberal machine will continue to operate, for it is in fact all window dressing. The reasons may vary—cheap labor, ready votes, "social justice," climate change, anti-white animus, etc.—but the end result is no border and no representation, regardless of the rhetoric. The ruling class is beyond redemption, and nothing short of a replacement of the kind they envision for us will suffice to save any semblance of an America worth saving. Perhaps it is a Balkanized future or an entire Western Hemisphere that looks like Brazil, but prognostication is not the order of the day, nor is this a post-mortem, but rather an outlining of the kabuki theater that passes for politics in America and a look at its stage managers.
Using the figures for individual donors' campaign contributions to federal candidates, parties, political action committees (PACs), 527 organizations, and Carey committees as reported by the Center for Responsive Politics for the 2018 election, we see that six of the top seven donors were Jews: Sheldon Adelson, Michael Bloomberg, Tom Steyer, S. Donald Sussman, Jim Simons, and George Soros. The Jewish Stephen Schwarzman of the Blackstone Group was also in the top ten. Number ten on that list, Fred Eychaner, is not Jewish, but as The Times of Israel reported in late October 2012:
Eychaner has given $1.5 million to the Priorities USA Action super PAC. He's also given more than $60,000 to the president's re-election committees, and he's listed as a major "bundler" for Obama, having raised at least $500,000 for the president. Eychaner, a gay-rights activist, also has donated millions to other nonprofit groups, including more than $1 million to the progressive EMILY's List organization.[1]
The reader will be familiar with the Jewish character of EMILY's List from my The Way Life Should Be? series.
More wealthy Jews abound in the top one hundred donors to political campaigns in 2018: Deborah Simon (#14), Bernie Marcus (#18), Dustin Moskovitz (#19), Joshua Bekenstein (#20), Jeff Yass (#21), Paul Singer ($25), Seth Klarman (#26), Amy Goldman-Fowler (#28), and Henry Laufer (#29). Sixteen of the top thirty donors to political campaigns in 2018 were Jewish. If you continue down the list, you'll continue to see Jews well-represented, including Herbert Sandler, Haim Saban, Irwin Jacobs, Les Wexner, Alexander Soros, Steven A. Cohen, Bernard Schwartz, Sim Daniel Abraham, Richard Rosenthal, Stephen Mandel, Henry Goldberg, Irving Moskowitz, Steven Spielberg, Ronald Lauder, Michael Sacks, David Bonderman, Dan Loeb, and Andrea Soros-Colombel.
When Bernie Sanders talks about the 1%, this is who he's talking about, and there are a whole lot of his co-ethno-religionists. Despite the tough talk, it appears Sanders doesn't walk the walk—he has received huge campaign contributions in this election cycle from the like of Alphabet Inc., Apple, Microsoft, AT&T, Amazon, Wal-Mart, Kaiser Permanente, UC Berkeley, Boeing, IBM, UPS, the City of New York, and the Army, Navy, Air Force, and the US Department of Defense. In fact, his donor list is pretty much interchangeable with the rest of his "competition."
For billionaire Jews like Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer, backing candidates is apparently not enough anymore, or maybe their grip on power is becoming more tenuous. Whatever the reason, the Wonderful Wizards are moving to center stage for all of America to see. Having made a killing as a hedge fund manager, Tom Steyer now has his sights on the presidency, and has spent nearly $48 million of his own money at press time on his bid. He doesn't need much in the way of campaign donations, but his donors do prove illustrative: Bain Capital (Joshua Bekenstein from the above list is co-chair and the Jewish Jonathan Lavine is CIO), Hellman & Friedman (a San Francisco-based private equity firm founded by two Jews—Warren Hellman, former president of Lehman Brothers and Tully Friedman, former managing director of Salomon Brothers—and a former employer of Steyer's), Stanford University (where Steyer received his MBA), MRB Capital (the venture capital firm of Hellman & Friedman senior advisor Matthew R. Barger, who, like Steyer, also received his MBA from Stanford and who, like Hellman, also worked for Lehman Brothers prior to joining Hellman's firm), Pisces, Inc. (described on their LinkedIn page as "an outsourcing/offshoring company" based out of San Francisco), and Twitter. Of particular note and showing what a ludicrous sham the whole thing is, Steyer's second-largest donor is Farallon Capital, the very firm he founded. Steyer also worked as a risk arbitrage trader under the Jewish Robert Rubin at Goldman Sachs and in Morgan Stanley's corporate mergers and acquisitions department, in addition to Salomon Brothers, before founding Farallon Capital, the largest hedge fund in the world in the mid-2000s. Rubin is on the advisory council of The Hamilton Project, is co-chairman emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, and is a member of the Africa Progress Panel (APP). Rubin is a real piece of work:
In January 1995, one year after the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and immediately after Rubin was sworn in as Secretary of Treasury, Mexico was suffering through a financial crisis that threatened to result in it defaulting on its foreign obligations. President Bill Clinton, with the advice of Secretary Rubin and Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan,[2] provided $20 billion in US loan guarantees to the Mexican government through the Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF). In 1997 and 1998, Treasury Secretary Rubin, Deputy Secretary Lawrence Summers,[3] and Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan worked with the International Monetary Fund and others to promote U.S. policy in response to financial crises in Russian, Asian, and Latin American financial markets…As Clinton's two-term Secretary of the Treasury, Rubin sharply opposed any regulation of collateralized debt obligations, credit default swaps and other so-called "derivative" financial instruments which—despite having already created havoc for companies such as Procter & Gamble and Gibson Greetings, and disastrous consequences in 1994 for Orange County, California with its $1.5 billion default and subsequent bankruptcy—were nevertheless becoming the chief engine of profitability for Rubin's former employer Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street firms. Rubin sparked controversy in 2001 when he contacted an acquaintance at the U.S. Treasury Department and asked if the department could convince bond-rating agencies not to downgrade the corporate debt of Enron, a debtor of Citigroup…Journalist Robert Scheer claims that the repeal of the Glass–Steagall Act was a key factor in the 2008 financial crisis. Enacted just after the 1930s Great Depression, the Glass–Steagall Act separated commercial and investment banking…Rubin and his deputy Lawrence Summers steered through the 1999 repeal of the Glass–Steagall Act (1933)…It allowed the banks to develop and sell the mortgage-backed instruments that became a principal factor in the financial collapse. In September 2011, the UK Independent Commission on Banking released a report in which it recommended a separation of investment and retail banking to prevent a repeat of the 2008 crisis…In December 2008, investors filed a lawsuit contending that Citigroup executives, including Rubin, sold shares at inflated prices while concealing the firm's risks….Writer Nassim Nicholas Taleb noted that Rubin "collected more than $120 million in compensation from Citibank in the decade preceding the banking crash of 2008. When the bank, literally insolvent, was rescued by the taxpayer, he didn't write any check—he invoked uncertainty as an excuse."…In January 2014, Secretary Rubin joined former Senator Olympia Snowe, former Education Secretary Donna Shalala, former Secretary of State George Shultz, former Housing and Urban Affairs Secretary Henry Cisneros, Gregory Page the Chair of Cargill, and Al Sommer, the Dean Emeritus of the Bloomberg School of Public Health as members of the U.S. Climate Risk Committee.[4]
We know the purposes of this emphasis on "climate change." What we are looking at is the "corporate stranglehold on democracy" that Steyer is supposedly fighting, a rich irony considering. Exemplified here is the neo-liberal establishment at work, operating with impunity, and with obvious and significant in-group preferential treatment and networking as regards Jews. It does not, unfortunately, end there.
Lazard, Ltd., based out of Bermuda for tax reasons, naturally, is also a major donor to Steyer. Lazard's Chairman and CEO is Kenneth M. Jacobs, another Stanford MBA who is on the Board for the Brookings Institution and is a former member of the Steering Committee for the Bilderberg Group. A number of influential people have worked for Lazard, including both Jews and their functionaries: Marcus Agius, Robert Agostinelli, Tim Collins, Disque Deane, Mina Gerowin, Sir Philip Hampton, Hugh Kindersley, Sebastian Kulczyk, Steven Langman, Jean-Marie Messier, Archie Norman, Nelson Obus, Gary Parr, Mark Pincus, Gerald Rosenfeld, Nathaniel Rothschild, Bernard Selz, Johann Rupert, Lars Kroijer, Jaime Bermúdez Merizalde, Ron Bloom, Robert Henry Brand, Robert Fred Ellsworth, Vernon E. Jordan Jr., Paul Keating, Robert Kindersley, Anne Lauvergeon, Lord Mandelson, Henrique de Campos Meirelles, Andrew Mitchell, Peter R. Orszag, Vincent S. Pérez, Rodrigo de Rato, Jenny Sanford, Simon Sebag Montefiore, Lindsay Tanner, Andrés Velasco, Antonio Weiss, Bill White, Frank G. Zarb, Božidar Đelić, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, and William D. Cohan. Lazard was founded as Lazard Freres & Co. by three Jewish brothers—Alexandre, Lazare, and Simon:
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the firm evolved into three "Houses of Lazard" in the United States, France, and England, separately managed but allied. The Lazard partners advised clients on financial matters and built a cross-border network of high-level relationships in business and government. Noted financial advisor George Blumenthal rose to prominence as the head of the U.S. branch of Lazard Frères and was a partner of Lazard Frères in France. In the economic boom following World War II, the American operations of Lazard expanded significantly under the leadership of the financier André Meyer. Meyer and Lazard partner Felix Rohatyn have been credited with virtually inventing the modern mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market…In 1977, as the health of Meyer began to deteriorate, the firm came to be controlled by Michel David-Weill. Under his leadership, the three houses of Lazard were formally united in 2000 as Lazard LLC. In 2002, David-Weill hired Bruce Wasserstein to be CEO…Following Wasserstein's sudden death in 2009, Lazard's Board of Directors elected Kenneth M. Jacobs Chairman and CEO.[5]
Blumenthal, Meyer, Rohatyn, David-Weill, Wasserstein, and Jacobs are all Jewish, by the way. Blumenthal first arrived in the United States on behalf of the dynastic Jewish banking family the Speyers, and "with J. P. Morgan the elder, he was one of five bankers whose $65,000,000 gold loans saved Grover Cleveland from giving up specie payments in 1896."[6] At Lazard, André Meyer created SOVAC (Societé pour la Vente à Crédit d'Automobiles), a finance company that in the late-1920s introduced the concept of automobile financing for consumers, ensuring Lazard Frères would become a significant force in consumer credit as well as in product leasing. Meyer and two colleagues would also represent Lazard on the Board of Directors of Citroën.[7] He was also very close with former US President Lyndon B. Johnson, often serving in an unofficial advisory capacity during Johnson's time in office. Rohatyn:
Joined the New York office of the investment bank Lazard Frères under André Meyer. He was made partner in the firm in 1961 and later became managing director. While at Lazard he brokered numerous, major mergers and acquisitions, notably on behalf of International Telephone and Telegraph (ITT), where he became a director in 1966. He also served on the boards of the Englehard Mineral and Chemical Corporation, Howmet Turbine Component Corporation, Owens-Illinois Inc., and Pfizer Inc. He served on the Board of the New York Stock Exchange from 1968 to 1972…In 1996, the Clinton administration put forward his candidacy for the post of Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve…According to The New York Times, in the 1990s, Rohatyn described derivatives as "financial hydrogen bombs, built on personal computers by 26-year-olds with M.B.A.s." In 2006 Rohatyn joined Lehman Brothers as a senior advisor to chairman, Dick Fuld.[8] On January 27, 2010, Rohatyn announced his return to Lazard as Special Advisor to the Chairman and CEO, after a short role at Rothschild. Rohatyn was United States Ambassador to France from 1997–2000 during the second Clinton Administration…As ambassador, he also organized the French-American Business Council (FABC), a 40-member council of U.S. and French corporate chief executives that met annually, with meetings held alternately in the United States and France. FABC meetings included President Clinton, President Chirac and Prime Minister Jospin, as well as U.S. cabinet secretaries and French government ministers and meetings continued during the presidencies of George W. Bush and Nicolas Sarkozy[9]…[His son] Nicolas Rohatyn is CEO and Chief Investment Officer at The Rohatyn Group, an investment firm specializing in emerging markets, following a 19-year career at J.P. Morgan.[10]
David-Weill's father, Pierre, was a partner and former Chairman of Lazard Frères; his grandfather, David, was a partner, and his great-grandfather, Alexandre Weill also worked at Lazard Frères, founded by his cousins. David-Weill hired both Bruce Wasserstein and the Jewish "deal-maker" Steven Rattner, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and a previous member of the Brookings Institution's Board. Before joining Lazard, Wasserstein's private equity firm Wasserstein & Co. specialized in the acquisitions of media. Wasserstein's fourth wife was Angela Chao, sister of Mitch McConnell's wife Elaine Chao. Rahm Emanuel[11] was employed by Wasserstein at one time.
[Rattner] was hired in Washington, D.C., as a news clerk to James Reston, New York Times columnist and former executive editor. After a year, he moved to New York as a reporter to cover business, energy, and urban affairs; there he became friends with colleague Paul Goldberger[12]…At the unusually young age of 27, he became the paper's chief Washington economic correspondent. He became close friends with Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr.[13].…At the end of 1982, Rattner left The New York Times and was recruited by Roger Altman[14] to join the investment bank Lehman Brothers as an associate. After Lehman was sold to American Express in 1984, he followed his boss Eric Gleacher and several colleagues to Morgan Stanley, where he founded the firm's communications group. In 1989, after Morgan Stanley filed for an initial public offering, he joined Lazard as a general partner and completed various deals for large media conglomerates such as Viacom and Comcast. Alongside Felix Rohatyn, Rattner became Lazard's top rainmaker in the 1990s. Michel David-Weill named him the firm's deputy chairman and deputy chief executive in 1997. In March 2000, Rattner and three Lazard partners, including Joshua Steiner,[15] left the firm and founded the Quadrangle Group. They initially focused on investing a $1 billion media-focused private equity fund. Early investors in Quadrangle included Sulzberger, Mort Zuckerman,[16] and Merrill Lynch. Headquartered in the Seagram Building,[17] Quadrangle grew to manage more than $6 billion across several business lines, including private equity, distressed securities, and hedge funds. The firm also hosted an annual gathering for media executives called Foursquare, where speakers included Rupert Murdoch and Mark Zuckerberg.[18]…In 2005, Quadrangle made payments to private placement agent Hank Morris[19] to help Quadrangle raise money for its second buyout fund. Morris had come highly recommended to Rattner from U.S. Senator Charles Schumer.[20] Morris was also the chief political advisor to Alan Hevesi,[21] the New York State Comptroller and manager of the New York State Common Retirement Fund (CRF), which invests in many private equity funds. Morris told Rattner he could increase the size of the CRF investment in Quadrangle's second buyout fund. Rattner agreed to pay Morris a placement fee of 1.1% of any investments greater than $25 million from the CRF…In 2009, Quadrangle and a dozen other investment firms, including the Carlyle Group, were investigated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for their hiring of Morris. The SEC viewed the payments as "kickbacks" in order to receive investments from the CRF since Morris was also a consultant to Hevesi. Quadrangle paid $7 million in April 2010 to settle the SEC investigation, and Rattner personally settled in November for $6.2 million without admitting or denying any wrongdoing…In 2008, the firm's asset management division announced it had been selected to invest the personal assets of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg…Rattner's close friend.[22]
Do you see how all this works? This is how a decadent ruling class operates—governing for its own benefit and, for the preponderance of Jews, that of its tribe. Political affiliation is basically irrelevant in such a context, as we will see with presidential candidate Johnny-come-lately Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City, who may be running as a Democrat, but is bi-partisan in his support for his co-ethno-religionists and those who will do their bidding. Control is essential. As Karl Evers-Hillstrom writes:
Bloomberg, who made his billions as the founder and CEO of financial services firm Bloomberg L.P., has slammed aggressive regulation of the financial sector… Bloomberg's contributions ebb and flow as the political tides shift…Following the 2010 Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC, Bloomberg took advantage of his newfound ability to give unlimited sums to super PACs. His Independence USA PAC shelled out millions to back Bloomberg's preferred Republicans and Democrats, and spent roughly 90 percent or more of its money backing winning candidates every cycle since 2014. In 2018, the group spent all of its $38 million backing Democrats and opposing Republicans. It helped kick out key Democratic targets such as former Reps. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) and Pete Sessions (R-Texas) with multi-million dollar ad buys. Bloomberg's other major group, Everytown for Gun Safety, was also successful at kicking Republicans out of Congress. The group spent $4.2 million backing Rep. Lucy McBath (D-Ga.), a gun control activist, and helped gun control groups outspend gun rights organizations on independent expenditures for the first time in 2018. The Bloomberg-funded group was also instrumental in helping Democrats turn Virginia blue this week. Also during the midterms, Bloomberg poured $20 million into Senate Majority PAC, the super PAC arm for Senate Democrats. He added another $5 million to the League of Conservation Voters.[23]
Notable Democrats who've received funds from Bloomberg in recent years include Cory Booker and Kamala Harris. Interestingly, Bloomberg has never donated to Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, or Bernie Sanders. Naturally, though, people like Jerrold Nadler, Chuck Schumer, and Joe Lieberman have also received Bloomberg's largesse. What could possibly unite them?
Rhetorically, Sanders and Warren are very much opposed to the Bloomberg/Steyer modus operandi, but as mentioned near the beginning of this piece, their donors are virtually the same as every other major Democratic candidate. Surely there is some in-group tension here regarding Wall Street and venture (vulture) capitalism, but all indications are that it will probably prove either minor or altogether irrelevant. Sanders may have been a True Believer at one time, but he has clearly been co-opted. Big tech and the major multi-nationals appear to be off-limits completely. It remains to be seen how or if Bloomberg is able to explain his way out of his support for "stop-and-frisk" while mayor of New York to the Woke Golems.
On the other side of the aisle, Bloomberg has donated to the Republican National Committee, the Republican Party of Massachusetts, New Jersey Republican State Committee, New York Republican Federal Campaign Committee, and the New York Republican County Committee, as well as current Maine Senator Susan Collins, former Maine Senator Olympia Snowe, Mitt Romney, Orrin Hatch, John McCain, George Bush, George W. Bush, and Rudy Giuliani. He donated $250,000 to Mississippi Conservatives in 2014 and in that same year, donated another $250,000 to West Main Street Values, a single-candidate super-PAC in support of Lindsey Graham. The following year, while Graham was gearing up for a presidential bid of his own, as Ben Kamisar reported in late July 2015:
Of the total [$2.9 million raised since March], $200,000 came from a super-PAC that supported Graham's Senate bid, West Main Street Values PAC Inc….Ronald Perelman,[24] the billionaire investor that's a member of Graham's national finance team, also gave a half-million. Access Industries, a holding company that owns Warner Music Group and others, also donated that same sum…General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt gave $25,000 to the group, as did Boston philanthropist Theodore Cutler.[25] Graham appeared at a fundraiser for the group in March, which was co-chaired by GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson. Adelson doesn't appear to have given to the super-PAC directly, but another co-chair, former American Enterprise Institute board member Roger Hertog,[26] donated $100,000 a week after the event.[27]
"So you see, my dear Coningsby," the Jewish Benjamin Disraeli wrote in his novel Coningsby,[28] "that the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." It is my goal—and if I may be so bold as to speak for others, that of the other writers at the Occidental Observer and other dissident voices I'm sure—to shoulder our way into the conversation and show plainly the architects of this modern horror show. With any luck, figures like Steyer and Bloomberg will continue to drop the mask and show the public who they really are, making our job that much easier. To combat the pernicious agenda of the globalist establishment, we must first understand it. We must know the what's, the when's, the where's, the who's, the why's, and the how's and proceed accordingly.

Republicans Grovel before Sheldon's Billions
March 31, 2014 /1 Comment/in Featured Articles, Jewish Influence, Jewish Wealth /by Kevin MacDonald
Usually the media downplays any hint that strongly identified Jews acting out of Jewish motives are able to influence American politics or anything else. But Sheldon Adelson's conference of Republican hopefuls apparently was too obvious, especially in the wake of his donating around $100 million to Republicans in the 2012 election cycle (and "much more in 2016").
So the LATimes made it official: Republicans who are serious about being nominated for president had better genuflect before Jewish money: "2016 Republican hopefuls hope to woo Jewish donors."
The occasion was a meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition in which Adelson was only one of many politically active Jewish billionaires. And what do Jewish billionaires care about?
During speeches Saturday, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie all addressed the key concerns of Adelson and many group members — the threat of a nuclear Iran, their desire to strengthen U.S. ties with Israel, and what they view as the waning prestige of the U.S. abroad. With varying degrees of deftness, the candidates each touched on their own ties to Israel and Jewish tradition.
Ah yes, the real issues facing America. I guess we are supposed to believe that, like every neocon who ever graced the op-ed pages of our elite media, these rich Jewish Republicans are absolutely certain that American interests are being served with their obsession about Israel. Read more

Free to Cheat: "Jewish Emancipation" and the Anglo-Jewish Cousinhood, Part 2
August 29, 2012 /68 Comments/in Anti-Jewish Writing, Featured Articles, Jewish Ethnic Networking, Jewish Wealth, Jews in Economy/Finance /by Andrew Joyce, Ph.D.
The Cousinhood on the World Stage.
In 1847, London's Jewish community had produced a statement for public consumption stressing that the election of Lionel de Rothschild would represent nothing more than the election of another politician who would work for "the welfare of the nation, and the prosperity of his country."[33] However, later actions by members of the Cousinhood who had taken places in the legislature and in government would provide cause for pondering precisely which nation was being referred to. David Feldman has revealed that entry into the legislature facilitated greater Jewish involvement in the administration of the British Empire, and that the Cousinhood was involved in a succession of financial and political scandals which had at their root "family and religious connections," "the pursuit of profit," and attempts to "influence colonial affairs when it deemed [global] Jewish interests were at stake."[34]
By 1900, through a process of ethnic and familial networking, the Cousinhood had secured many of the most significant administrative positions in the Empire. Feldman notes that the Nathan family alone had by that date secured the positions of Governor of the Gold Coast, Hong Kong and Natal, Attorney-General and Chief Justice in Trinidad, Private Secretary to the Viceroy of India, Officiating Chief Secretary to the Governor of Eastern Bengal and Assam, and Postmaster-General of Bengal.[35] In Parliament, Lionel Abrahams was Permanent Assistant Under-Secretary at the India Office, working under his cousin Edwin Montagu who was then Parliamentary Under-Secretary for India.[36] Read more

"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."
Charles Mackay, 1841[1]
Shortly after his election to Parliament in 1830, Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859), a famous historian and one of Britain's leading men of letters, took up the cause of removing Jewish "civil disabilities" in Britain. In a succession of speeches, Macaulay was instrumental in pushing the case for permitting Jews to sit in the legislature, and his January 1831 article Civil Disabilities of the Jews had a "significant effect on public opinion."[2] Professing Jews residing in Britain at that time were unable to take seats in the House of Commons, because prior to sitting in the legislature one was required to declare a Christian oath. In addition, Jews were "excluded from Crown office, from corporations, and from most of the professions, the entrance to which bristled with religious oaths, tests, and declarations."[3] Even the 1753 Naturalization Act which had granted citizenship to foreign-born Jews had been repealed following widespread popular agitation, and a pervading atmosphere of suspicion and mistrust of Jews generally, and foreign Jews especially.[4] Ursula Henriques states that because of the resolute opposition of the British people to the involvement of Jews in British political life, since their readmission in the 17th century "the Jews had remained quiet."[5]
However, buoyed by the granting of political emancipation to Protestant Dissenters and Catholics in 1828 and 1829, British Jews began to agitate for their own "emancipation," and this agitation was augmented and spearheaded to a great extent by Thomas Macauley. Within thirty years the British elite had capitulated; not only had all Christian oaths been abandoned, but six unconverted Jews sat in the House of Commons. Within fifty years, Britain had sixteen Jewish Members of Parliament, and a Jewish Prime Minister who espoused a doctrine of Jewish racial superiority — Benjamin Disraeli; and under Disraeli Britain would pursue a foreign policy dictated to a large extent by what future Prime Minister William Gladstone called "Judaic sympathies."[6] This foreign policy would include support for the Ottomans who were friendly to Jews and were massacring Christians in Bulgaria. And it would include waging of war on the Boers in a move highly beneficial to Jewish mining operations in South Africa.[7] How and why did such a dramatic change in circumstances occur? And how did the Anglo-Jewish elite repay Britain for its act of 'justice'? Read more

We're Rich; We're Jewish; We Have Big Houses
February 11, 2012 /57 Comments/in Jewish Wealth /by Edmund Connelly, Ph. D.
Last year, in keeping with his writing on Jews and money, John Graham wrote a blog called "We're Rich; We're Jewish: We Rule." His point was that Jews have lots of money and use it to advance their interests, in this case promoting gay marriage in New York from a Republican base. He noted that "the NYT avoids the most significant aspect to this story, but the Capital J blog at the JTA.org website is made of sterner stuff:
The New York Times runs a piece today on how the big money behind the push for sanctioning gay marriage in New York State is coming from Republicans.
The figures named are also Jewish….But I mean every name. Here's what a quick Google search came up with:
–Paul Singer: on the boards of Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs and Commentary
–Daniel Loeb: Appeared at events for YIVO and the Jewish Enrichment Center.
–Clifford Asness: Likened Obama's proposed tax policies to pogroms. (Yes, philanthropy would be nicer than name calling, but this is still a form of identification.)
–Steven A. Cohen: this excellent Tablet piece by Allison Hoffman exposes a rabbi who tried to use Cohen's Jewishness in a scheme to extort money from him, but otherwise notes that Cohen's philanthropy does not have much of a Jewish slant…
And then there's former Republican National Committee chairman, Ken Mehlman, who's organizing the whole GOP push, and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who also backs the initiative (but is no longer a Republican.) Jewish, Republican, pro-gay rights by Ron Kampeas – May 14, 2011
"But I mean every name." That's exactly the sentiment I am feeling now as I read just the beginning of a YAHOO! FINANCE article titled "Living Very Large." It is about Americans who are building massive houses despite the pronounced trend among average Americans to scale back on size.
Just in order of what I've read so far we find:
— Hyatt hotel heir Anthony Pritzker has a new 49,300-square-foot mansion. Wiki says that "The Pritzker family is one of America's wealthiest families, and has been near the top of Forbes magazine's "America's Richest Families" list since the magazine began in 1982."
— Hedge-fund manager Cliff Asness [mentioned above] is building a 25,900-square-foot, Colonial-style home with an indoor swimming pool and tennis court in Greenwich, Conn.
— Nearby, a 31,500-square-foot mansion is being built for Lee Weinstein, founder of data-center concern Xand, with 15 bathrooms (plus additional powder rooms), a 2,500-square-foot master suite and a basement with a theater, wine cellar, juice bar, dance studio and sauna.
— Twenty miles away, in Westport, Conn., Melissa and Doug Bernstein are creating a compound of more than 30,000 square feet with a stand-alone ice-cream parlor, plans show. The main house alone is 29,500 square feet and includes a gym partially covered by glass; there's also a guest cottage, pool cabana and rec-room-and-garage building. The property also has a pool, tennis court and playground. Read more

The Member for Groom was visiting the region in order to attend the Navigating the Drought Farming and Small Business Forum in Moree, and was accompanied by Assistant Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, and Federal Member for Parkes, The Hon. Mark Coulton.
Mayor Katrina Humphries declared the meeting as most promising, highlighting that "as a former grain and cotton producer himself, Minister McVeigh is in a unique position in that he completely understands the huge scale of our production out here. And, as a resident of Toowoomba region, he also sees the impact of that produce currently having to get to market via our national road network, first hand".
Council's plan for capitalising on the Inland Rail includes a number of key road and rail infrastructure projects aimed at streamlining freight movements and stimulating private investment in the Shire. Given the considerable cost to develop this infrastructure, Council is seeking funding through a range of Federal and State funding programs.
While discussing the development of intermodal and rail maintenance facilities, Minister McVeigh said Moree has an advantageous location on the line between Melbourne and Brisbane.
"The Coalition Government will be looking at a number of regional towns, including Moree as an option for an intermodal hub. Inland Rail will take hundreds of trucks off the road and give farmers and regional business owners a more efficient and reliable mode of transport to deliver their produce to markets throughout Australia and the world," said Dr McVeigh.
Councillor Humphries remarked on the revolutionary impact the national project will have on regional Australia, commenting that "it is truly exciting. One day our grandchildren will look upon it as our generation looks upon the Snowy Mountains scheme".
More information on the Inland Rail and the progression of each section of the project can be found on the ARTC website.

Here are some of the key learns from our epic camping trip around Namibia. I hope you find some of them useful.
Plan in advance. Because of the vast distances and high costs, Namibia is not a budget destination, where you can just rock on up and hook up with other backpackers. Most tourists there are rich European families in expensive Hiluxes with roof tents. Routes, destinations and logistics, like renting a vehicle and camping gear, all need to be done in advance, especially in high season, July-August.
Rent your own vehicle. Namibia is not a budget destination. Camping or Lodges are the only option to really see the highlights of Namibia, which are only reachable with your own vehicle. A small SUV starts at around 60+ € per day (in high season), whereas a late model Hilux with full insurance will set you back more than double that. If your budget allows it, get a Fortuner, starting at 150 € per day.
Get a 4×4. We rented a Renault Duster from Europcar and separate ground tent. It was a brand new vehicle and served us really well on the dirt roads, which were often poor quality. It is possible to travel in a normal car and we did see the odd car bumping its away along. However, it would make for an extremely slow and uncomfortable ride. Two-wheel drives' wheels also spin in the sandy, causing corrugation to occur. Therefore a 4×4 or at least a vehicle with high ground clearance (for the many rocks) is highly recommended. Most people opt for the sturdier Hilux, which is a tougher vehicle built for offroad conditions. It tends to glide of the bumps better than the Duster, but is a much heavier vehicle and is therefore more prone to punctures and uses way more gas. It is, however, the only option for families of 4 or groups, as we had to put the rear seats down on the Duster to accommodate all the camping gear.
Get full insurance. Namibia has the highest rate of road accidents per capita in the world. Most are single-vehicle and not collisions, and involve foreign tourists losing control of the vehicle. The roads of Namibia are treacherous and should not be underestimated. Flat tires are a common occurance (we thankfully did not suffer one the whole trip). Therefore full insurance (including tyre, windscreen and no excess) is essential.
Forget the roof tent. Roof tents' sole purpose is to stop you from being eaten by lions or hyenas at night. While this is essential for Botswana, it is not required for Namibia, even in the northern parts of the country near Etosha. Sure, there is a small chance of running into a rogue older lone male lion, rejected by the pride and too slow to hunt antelope, but this is rare. Brandenburg mountain was unfortunately closed when we where there (due to lions in the area), but it is not in the interests of any lodge or campsite to have you eaten, so they would not let you camp anywhere near an area with a grave risk. Roof tents are also not as convenient as they might first appear. When researching the trip, I saw a promo video on Youtube showing how easy it was to get your tent set up. It just popped up effortlessly and a fully equipped kitchen appeared as if by magic, to the sound of the cork popping on your bottle of wine. The reality, however, is somewhat different, as we witnessed on many occasions the scene of stressed families on the roof of their Hiluxes painfully trying to unpack and pack the tent. We opted for the standard igloo ground tent, which has the advantage of you being able to stand in the tent. After a bit of practise,and refinement, we were able to get it set up in about 5 minutes. With the ground tent, you can set it up and leave it there if you make a day trip. With the roof tent, however, you have to pack it up every time you use the vehicle, even to make a short excursion. This soon becomes a major pain in the arse, unless of course, you only stay one night in each location (not recommended).
Fill up at every opportunity. I can't stress this one enough, as we almost ran out of diesel and had to buy some from the lodge we stayed at, which was also a farm, so happened to have some handy. We learned our lesson pretty quickly.
Camp at luxury lodges. This may seem like a no-brainer to anyone doing any research on her trip, but we did meet campers in Namibia who were completely oblivious to this basic fact. Many luxury lodges, some, insider tips, offer a small number of campsites, some with private ablution and kitchen. Often these are cheaper than the larger government run campsite (NWR, of National Wildlife Resorts). Included in the price of the camping is access to their facilities. Many have pool, bar, landscaped gardens with desert plants, etc. Some even offer half decent WiFi, but don't expect good connection speeds.
Take your time. We travelled for 3 weeks and only stayed 3 times in a place for only one night, and only when we were trying to break a longer journey. We decided not to go to the south (Fish River Canyon) or the far north and Caprivi strip. Whilst I am sure these are worth visiting, we made the decision not to try and cover everything. Most people only have 2 weeks, however, and try to see the whole country. This means travelling all day, every day. We often witnessed Hiluxes driving into our campsite at night after sunset and leaving the next day before sunrise, completely missing the beautiful view of the mountain/sunset. Staying longer in one place also allowed to get to know the locals and experience the incredible Namibian hospitality. We got so much help and insider tips on where to go, what to watch out for, etc. Plus each person we met would introduce us to someone they knew in the next town/lodge, and so on, effectively giving us a local support network all throughout the country.
Don't underestimate the camping. Camping is a lot of fun and very rewarding. It is also a lot of hard work and has an element of discomfort. It can also get quite cold at night during winter, so you need a decent sleeping bag. The ones for rent and quite thin and I was glad I bought a down 3 season bag with me. We lit a campfire each night and ate excellent quality vegetarian food, thanks to the awesome cooking skills of Anita, my travelling companion. Still, I found the camping quite tough and I was completely out of my comfort zone. But at the end, I had learned a lot of new skills and had pushed myself to new limits. It was an amazing adventure, but not something I am rushing to repeat in a hurry. If camping doesn't sound like you, then you need to stick to the lodges. The lodges are really luxurious, but you have to pay 150-200 € per night for this standard in the middle of the desert. Unfortunately, outside of the major towns, there is very little in the way of budget or backpacker accommodation.
Book in advance. There is a lot of debate online as to whether to book campsites in advance. In high season (July/August), it is essential to book Sessriem and Etosha. However, in the south, we found most campsites to be only partially full. This changed when we went north of Windhoek/Swakopmund and we were glad we had booked 2 locations in advance – i.e. the next after the next destination. Only once did we not do this and found the good campsites to be full and had to settle for a crappy campsite, which was not clean, had not been maintained and was infested with flies and mosquitos. This kind of experience can ruin your trip, so I would recommend at least researching and knowing where you are going to be staying for 2 destinations in advance.

Q: CyVis 0.9 Ant task failing to generate html report I am currently attempting to make an Ant build file for a Java project that uses CyVis 0.9 as one of its tools. I am running into a problem where I cannot get it to generate an html report. Below is the exact code from my build.xml file, which is almost exactly taken from the tutorial on CyVis' website. Currently, it is generating a text report just fine; however, the text reports are less than helpful.
I have run this same exact code on a team member's computer and it has worked perfectly fine. Since then I have reinstalled CyVis and Ant and have had no luck.
<path id="cyvis.path">
   <fileset dir="${cyvis.home.dir}">
       <include name="**/*.jar"/>
   </fileset>
</path>
<taskdef name="cyvis"
    classname="cyvis.ant.CyvisTask"
    classpathref="cyvis.path"
/>
<target name="report.cyvis">
    <mkdir dir="${report.cyvis.dir}" />
    <cyvis verbose="false" home="${cyvis.home.dir}">
        <fileset dir="${bin.dir}">
            <include name="**\*.class"/>
        </fileset>
        <report type="text"  outFile="${report.cyvis.dir}\test.txt" />
        <report type="html"  outFile="${report.cyvis.dir}\index.html" />
    </cyvis>
</target>

Upon running the build I get the following output:
report.cyvis:
[mkdir] Created dir: C:\Users\Dustin\workspace\H2\report\cyvis
[cyvis] Text report generated, see C:\Users\Dustin\workspace\H2\report\cyvis\test.txt

BUILD FAILED

When commenting the html report out, the build is successful, but only produces the text report. I have had no luck researching this error and cannot see any differences between mine and my colleague's set up.
