Only one year after the publication of the optimistic 1988 report, a severe drought period began that was to last for almost three years (1989-1991). The buoyant optimism that characterized the period before the drought turned on its head and the public discourse on water shifted dramatically: once an abundant resource, a source of national pride and hope, a vehicle for social cohesion, water became discursively constructed as a scarce resource, a source of crisis and conflict, a threat to the life and social cohesion of the "eternal" city and its citizens. The drought became one of the hottest topics and was placed at the centre of media coverage and fervent political and public debates. Great public anxiety was created when the water company decided to disrupt its services as a demand management strategy, and to launch a public awareness campaign with daily announcements counting down the 170 days of water (and life) left for the city.
Trihonida to the Mornos reservoir.
There was no doubt that the implementation of the proposed measures would bear serious social, economic, political and environmental impacts, and thus broad consultation and political debate was in order. Nevertheless, all four Acts were brought before the Greek Parliament in the form of "Emergency Acts", a procedure which is normally reserved for moments of national crisis, and which allows only for very brief discussion in Parliament before an immediate vote is taken. For example, the water transportation Bill and the relative Bill that modified the 1987 Water Resources Law (1739/87) were voted in by the government within the record time of 16 minutes (Proceedings, PAT Assembly of the Greek Parliament, 21/5/93). The justification given by the government for the treatment of these Acts as "National Emergencies" was that such a procedure was judged to be absolutely necessary in order to "save the city of thirst". Nature was causing an indisputable crisis and there was no time for debating. Immediate urgent action was the only way to overcome the crisis.
Still, the invocation of the crisis brought about by a prolonged drought period is not enough to account for the urgency with which the situation was vested, the confusion around water availability and the dramatic shift from discourses of water abundance to discourses of water scarcity and from the depiction of water as a public good to its depiction as a scarce commodity (see Bakker 2000). Indeed, it would not be possible to comprehend and analyze the socio-political dimensions of the Athenian water crisis and the swift implementation of the disputed "Emergency Measures", without looking at the particular socio-political configuration with which the drought period coincided. For the 1989-1991 drought overlapped with one of the most turbulent periods in contemporary Greek politics. An economic and political scandal, in which the socialist government was allegedly involved while at the height of its popular support, led the country to a deep and long political crisis. Three rounds of national elections were carried out within a period of less than two years. The first round of national elections, in June 1989, coincided with the first dry summer period. The elections failed to deliver a majority to any single political party and a "transitional" government was formed to carry the country to the next round of elections. However, the second round of elections (November 1989) equally failed to deliver the parliamentary majority to any single political party. An "ecumenical" government was then formed through an unprecedented alliance between the conservatives and the left. This government stayed in power for a short period with the aim of overseeing a project of national political "catharsis". The third round of elections, carried out in April 1990 in the midst of trials of former socialist ministers, led to a conservative party victory (Chadjipadelis and Zafiropoulos 1994; Zafiropoulos and Chadjipadelis 2001). This chapter will argue that it was the fusion of this political crisis with a natural crisis that facilitated the almost uncontested implementation of the proposed "Emergency Acts", despite their questionable soundness and transparency. In what follows, I shall focus on the implementation of the first two emergency measures (price hikes and a new dam project) in order to foreground the social, political, and economic implications of their swift implementation and the role of the discursive construction of a "crisis" situation as a facilitator for the implementation of a particular neoliberal socio-environmental agenda.


While visiting the memorial for 5 Dallas area police officers who were murdered Thursday night, I met Jeffery Myers who laid out his frustration with the lack of attention of young black men killing young black men. Listen to this very accurate and direct talk straight from the heart. You can check out his Twitter page.
Here is the reality of gun control. America is unlike any other country in the world with respect to our freedoms and like it or not, those freedoms include the 2nd Amendment. Anyone who thinks that our government can all of a sudden outlaw guns and our country will no longer be dangerous is simply lying to themselves. How will that work? Will the government go door to door collecting guns? It simply wouldn't work….


I have a brother who I've never met. His name is Andrew and he died before I was born. Before they had me, my parents had a miscarriage. I haven't gotten to meet Andrew yet, but I have always wondered what our lives would have been like if he had lived. What kind of older brother would he be? Would he dote on his younger sisters, or would he be more of the hands off, girls have cooties type of brother? Some of both, I'm sure. Would he love stories and reading like my sister and I, or would he be more practical and hands-on? Would he have my mom's brown eyes, or my dad's green ones?
When I was younger, I thought maybe he would have been like Peter Pevensie, from Narnia – caring and wise and all the things that are good about older brothers. Hearing my college friends' stories about their brothers, I'm sure our relationship would have been much messier. But I'll never know for sure.
For me, grieving Andrew has never hurt. I do mourn my brother, but I've always accepted that I won't meet him until heaven. I was going to have a brother, but that wasn't God's plan. In my own limited way, I've been able to see the good that God has brought out of this loss. Growing up with just my twin has given us a special relationship. I always had a playmate, and we certainly constructed plenty of adventures. Maybe our bond would not be as strong if we had grown up with Andrew.
I never had to feel strange about mourning my brother. I've never had to ask myself why I feel loss for a person who was, to me, only ever potential.
Why is it culturally acceptable for a family to grieve their miscarriage, but not their abortion? The only thing that changed was that the parents chose abortion, while no one chooses a miscarriage. The lack of cultural support for those grieving abortion leads to a lot of pain for the family of the aborted child – the siblings, fathers, grandparents, and even the mothers who regret their abortions. Many people report struggling to identify and admit their grief because they think they shouldn't be feeling it. After all, it wasn't a person, it was just a fetus. So where is the grief coming from? In reality, their grief is completely understandable, because a member of their family has died. They'll never get to know the child on earth. They've lost a sibling, child, or grandchild.
Abortion complicates the feelings of loss because the death was not inevitable. The grief that follows an abortion is often mixed with other emotions – guilt, anger, helplessness – depending on the person's relationship to the mother and when they learned about her choice. These feelings are often born not of a conscious admission of loss, but of a deep-seated intuition of it. Someone may feel anger, guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness, and not trace these feelings back to the abortion for years.
Sometimes, siblings have a sense that a member of their family is missing before they learned about their mother's choice. Michael always told his parents how he wished he had an older brother. One day, they told him tearfully that he did have one – but the boy had been aborted.
Learning that their mother had an abortion can impact a surviving sibling's behavior profoundly, sometimes without them even realizing what caused the behavior. Magaly tells of how she felt like she had to earn her parents' love after learning her mother had an abortion. This striving to be worthy led her to feel so worthless that she attempted suicide.
Siblings can struggle to forgive their mothers and may feel survivor's guilt: why did their parents choose them instead of their brother or sister? While siblings may be angry or hurt at their mother, they often see that abortion impacted her as well. Renee talks about trying to protect her mother from the harsh comments of others.
Our culture insists that abortion is a woman's choice, and only she has a say in what happens to her unborn child. This attitude can lead to toxic situations where family members hold deep anger or helplessness towards the mother for her choice. But since aborted babies are not considered people, family members feel like they must hide their pain and grief.
We must work to change the hearts and minds of our culture about the personhood of the unborn, for the sake of aborted babies and their family members who all too often experience grief in confusion and silence. Thankfully, our culture has increasingly recognized the need to surround families who lose a child to miscarriage with compassion; it's time we do the same for those who lost a child to abortion.
Care Net provides resources to help women heal from their abortions at our 1,100 affiliated pregnancy centers. There are also organizations and programs for fathers, grandparents, and siblings of aborted babies.
Until we as a nation can acknowledge that the death of an unborn baby is always a tragedy – whether it is a miscarriage or an abortion— those who lose a child will continue to suffer in silence and confusion.

The Ones Within Season 2: Will it ever gets a sequel?
Will there be The Ones Within Season 2? You can find the answers to it down below!
The Ones Within, otherwise known as Nakanohito Genome in Japanese, is an anime series that falls under the comedy and drama genre, and it revolves around the game theme. The series follows the story of Iride Akatsuki as he was teleported into the world of the game called the infamous 'Nakanohito Genome' after he unlocks hidden content in the game.
The anime series The Ones Within is an adaptation based on a manga of the same title written and illustrated by Osora. It has started its serialization as a free-to-read manga in Pixic Comic in 2014, and it has been collected in ten tankōbon volumes by Media Factory, a Japanese publisher and brand company of Kadokawa Future Publishing. The manga series has decent followers in Pixic Comic with a total of 200,000 follows. The first chapter has been scanlated into English by Kirei Cake and switched to Träumerei Scans for the rest.
It was announced that the manga series The Ones Within was getting an anime adaptation by Silver Link, the studio that is best known for its anime release Chivalry of a Failed Knight and Kokoro Connect. Silver Link has been received positively in the community for its adaptations, and it is no doubt that they have delivered in animating Osora's only manga series.
Will there going to be The Ones Within Season 2?
The first season of the anime adaptation The Ones Within was aired on July 7, 2019, and ran for 12 episodes before concluding on September 22 of the same year. It was followed by a single ova episode on February 7, 2020, an original story included with the 10th volume of the manga series. As the anime series has not been renewed for a while now, many of the fans are craving a sequel. Will there be The Ones Within Season 2? Will it be renewed?
As of now, we haven't received any pieces of information regarding The Ones Within Season 2. We don't know whether the anime series will get a season renewal or not. However, there might be a possibility for The Ones Within Season 2, but it won't come around the corner just yet. The main reason is that the source material is currently not sufficient enough for another run, but as the manga series is currently still up and running, there will be more and more source material as time goes on. Currently, ten volumes have been released so far.
Also, the anime has received a lot of positive feedbacks from the audiences, although the score it gets in MyAnimeList doesn't say so. With that being said, until the anime has enough source material, there is still a chance for us to have The Ones Within Season 2, but it would take us a while. You can always keep track of the latest news of The Ones Within Season 2 on our website, so stay tuned!
The Ones Within Season 2 Expected Plot
We are brought to all of the "players" in the game in the elevator heading towards the forbidden black door. Anya Kudou makes a point to apologize to Iride Akatsuki, who accepts it with a pinky promise. Himiko decides to talk to Iride later when she has her chance. The 'underground' characters (including Zakuro's twin sister Sakura, Hiro, Nanami, Anya's brother Shinya, Niki, and Karen's brother) reunite and bond together. Back to the main characters; they all reach the top floor and aren't able to open the black door until Iride opens it with his ID tad; his name: Madarame. Roromi Yuzu and Paka-San are both inside.
All the gaps are filled and pieces put into place for chaos to happen. Between Nanami and Niki reuniting, Anya and Iride apologizing, and reuniting with Yuzo, this got me wondering what was about to happen. Iride has been a silent character this whole time, always smiling and not sharing his personal opinions, so like any normal reader, I wanted to know his deal. In previous chapters, Paka-San labels his master as "madarame" and when the biometrics are clear and Iride opens the door, he's called "Madarame". Speaking of prior chapters, he switched places with himself in his nightmare, and I believe he changed into an entirely new individual. I think Makuno realized something was different about Akatsuki while others didn't.
It is possible that the friends of Akatsuki will aid him in the end. Paka-San might ask his friends to help his Madarame and give them background information on his life. We know that Akatsuki is trying to set everything back to the way it was; aka reset, and to free Yuzu's sister from her "mother" title. Yuzu's sister might awaken and the island might shut down.

Alberta FAQs >Real Estate and Renting >Land Titles
What kind of a Land Titles registration system do we have in Alberta?
The land titles system that is used in Alberta is called the Torrens system. It was created by Robert Torrens, an Australian, in the 1850s, and is based on the shipping registry. He observed that the registration of ocean-going vessels was accurate and complete, while land registration was chaotic, so he set about creating a new system. It was first used in Canada in the then-colony of Vancouver Island in 1861. The Torrens land system has been used in Alberta since 1887.
Last updated: October 2015
Do other provinces use the Torrens system?
Yes, this system is also used in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, British Columbia and some parts of Ontario.
Is the Torrens system the law in Alberta?
Yes, the Torrens system operates under the authority of the Land Titles Act, a provincial law. It states that the Government of Alberta has custody of all original titles, documents, and plans and has the legal responsibility for the validity and security of all registered land titles information. The Government guarantees the accuracy of all titles, and in order to do this, operates an Assurance Fund to compensate anyone who suffers a loss due to an error on title or a fraudulent transaction.
How does the Torrens system work?
The Torrens Land system is based on three principles, with colourful names for such a dry area of law:
the Mirror Principle,
the Curtain Principle, and
the Insurance Principle.
Each of these principles taken together explain how this system works.
What does the Mirror Principle mean?
The Mirror Principle means that the title to property will reflect completely and accurately all the current facts of the title. Generally speaking, a title will show the current owner and all outstanding registered interests in the land, such as mortgages, caveats, easements and builder's liens. The Mirror Principle is not absolute; there can be certain public rights or burdens that affect the title, such as a right to expropriation or zoning restrictions that may not be shown on title.
What is the Curtain Principle?
The Curtain Principle means that the current certificate of title contains all of the information about the title and it is not necessary for an interested person such as a potential buyer to worry about any past dealings with the property. This does away with the need to search back through the history of a property to be sure that the present owner is the valid owner of the present title. It is possible, however, if you are curious, to ask for a historical search if you want to know who owned the property in the past.
What is the Insurance Principle?
The Insurance Principle means that an insurance fund is in place to compensate anyone who suffers a loss as a result of a mistake being made about the validity or accuracy of a title. The idea behind the Torrens systems is that the land titles registry must guarantee the accuracy of every title to land, so that if an error occurs, there will be compensation available.
So, if I have title to the land that my house sits on, does that mean that I have total ownership of that piece of the planet?
Actually, no one except the Crown has absolute ownership of land. The nearest thing to absolute ownership that you can have is called an "estate in fee simple". This means that your rights to your land are subject only to restrictions for the greater good of the municipality, province or country, for example, expropriation of private property to build a new road.
What exactly do I own when I own my land?
The word "land" usually means the surface of the earth. You own not only the surface of your land but also the air space above it (subject to the rights of others such as airlines) and any sand, gravel, peat and clay that can be excavated by surface operations. In the past, legal title might also have included mineral ownership, but most titles in Alberta are now separated into surface only titles and minerals only titles. This is necessary because of another interesting principle: the "Heaven to Hell" concept.
What is the" Heaven to Hell" concept?
The legal definition of the word "land" refers to that which extends from the centre of the earth to the outer edge of the atmosphere, hence the Heaven to Hell concept. Because a great deal of Alberta's wealth is contained in minerals, Land Titles must clearly define who owns the mineral rights to land.
How do I know if I own the mineral rights to my land?
Land Titles offices are required to issue mineral certificates before registering any transfer of transfers, mortgages or leases of mineral interests. A mineral certificate states exactly what minerals are owned in a specific parcel of land and by whom, on what date and what mines and minerals exactly. Most titles have now been separated into "surface only" and "minerals only" titles. If, as is likely in most cases, you have a surface only title, the legal description will be followed by a "mineral reservation", a phrase stating "excepting thereout all mines and minerals."
Where are the Land Titles offices located?
Alberta is divided into two land registration districts and there are two land titles offices, one in Edmonton and one in Calgary. The South Alberta Land Registration Office in Calgary was responsible for the land from the U.S. border to Township 34 just south of Innisfail, and the North Alberta Land Registration Office was Edmonton is responsible for land from Innisfail north to the border with the Northwest Territories, but nowadays, with a computerized system, both offices can now register land in either the north or the south of the province.
What documents are kept at the Land Titles offices?
The Land Titles offices keep all original titles and all original related documents. Documents are kept in both paper and computer files. There are literally millions of documents and the computerized system means that people wanting to access Land Titles files have online access. To obtain a copy of a title or document you must fill out a Land Titles search request and pay a fee for each search, which varies depending on the document requested.
Who uses the Land Titles system?
Any one with an interest in land in Alberta will use the system at one time or another. It is used by:
the federal, provincial, and municipal governments,
real estate companies,
banks,
lenders,
utility companies,
appraisers and assessors,
land surveyors,
oil and gas companies,
lawyers, and
individuals.
When I look at the title to my house, it seems to have a bunch of funny looking words and numbers that don't bear any resemblance to my house address. What do they mean?
Your house address is a method of describing the location of your property devised by your municipality. It is quite different from the legal description of your property that is used at land titles. For land that is located in a city, town, village or acreage, the legal description is set by Plan number; Block number; and Lot number. Municipalities approve plans for the subdivision of land within their jurisdiction. This subdivision plan is reviewed by Land Titles and assigned a Plan number.
What about rural land? How is it described?
Rural land is described by the use of the terms Meridian, Range and Township. Land in Alberta is described as being west of the fourth, fifth or sixth meridian. These are north/south lines of longitude. The fourth meridian is the Alberta/Saskatchewan border; the fifth meridian runs through Stony Plain and Calgary; and the sixty meridian runs through DeBolt and Jasper. Between the meridians are vertical columns called ranges which are numbered from east to west of each meridian. Townships are horizontal rows crossing the meridians and ranges. The townships begin with row number one at the U.S. border and continue up to row 126 adjacent to the Northwest Territories border. Each township is approximately 9.7 square kilometers and contains 36 sections.
I own a condominium. Are the rules the same for me?
Units in condominiums are registered by plan number and unit number only. Condominium plans must be registered by the developer of a condominium project and are available at the Land Titles office.
How do I go about registering a document at the Land Titles Office?
If you wish to have a land-related document registered at the Land Titles Office you must complete a Document Registration Request form (DDR). This DDR must be submitted with the document you wish to register to ensure that all documents stay together along with your request for registration. You must also pay the registration fee at the same time. Fees may be paid by cash, cheque, credit card, or to an established account. All documents are examined in the order they are received to ensure priority of registration is maintained in case there are competing interests.
What happens to my documents once I submit them?
Your documents will go to the Documents Examination Section, which is staffed with land title examiners. They compare your documents to the appropriate title, then perform a legal examination to make sure that the documents are correct and in compliance with the many laws that affect land transactions. If an error is found, the examiner continues to look for other errors, so if the documents need to be returned to the customer for correction, all errors have been identified. If the documents are correct, they will be entered into the Alberta Land Titles system. After documents are registered, they are scanned so that an electronic image of a registered document is available for searching by the public through SPIN2 www.spin.gov.ab.ca.
Do I have to go to a Land Titles office to order copies of documents?
No, you can order certified copies of titles and other documents through registry agents. Consult your yellow pages directory or call 310 0000 427 7013 to locate a registry agent in your area.

I am currently running SC version 9.3 and am occassionally getting error messages saying that my PC is not protected. It then asks for me to verify my subscription by clicking a button which then fixes the problem. Is this normal for the new SecurityCentre? I could understand if it happened once but it has happened a few times now.
Please Clarify/follow the below steps.
1. Check for system date & time, if wrong correct it.
2. Have you made any recent changes to the computer(eg:system restore...).
3. How did you install Mcafee products?(cd or mcafee website).
When you say "system date and time" do you mean Mcafee or the PC? I don't know how to check Mcafee's date and time.
This began after I renewed my subscription a couple of months ago. It doesn't happen all the time - in fact it has only happened to me a couple of times whereas my wife encounters the problem more frequently.
I renewed the subscription from the web page - this is our third update since purchasing the original disk.
I meant by System date and time.
• Are you able to update the McAfee? Click on update button in left had panel of Security Center home page.
• Did you have the subscription Expiration date in the security center home page?
• Right click McAfee icon in the system tray and then click on product setup if you don't have then click on verify subscription.
• If everything is fine then you can also try to Run the MSCPRXFIX.exe.
I was able to view the expiration date on the security centre home page and right clicking the icon enabled me to verify my subscription. However, something I was unaware of, I cannot update. If I click on update in the security centre and then click on the button it brings up it gives me the message that the rotating arrow icon will appear in my system tray. I have seen it before but now it doesn't seem to work. Is this why it is telling me to verify my subscription? Is it coming up when an update is trying to come through?
What is the subscription Expiration date in the security center home page?
I tried both those options and it said that the Mcafee tool had searched and repaired any problems. However, still when I attempted to run an update it still did not have the rotating arrow in the system tray.
Re update and verify will let the admin work through with you though sometimes a good idea to clean it off using the removal tool in my sig and reinstall. Ok of course I assume you are not running another virus scanner at the same time?
However, after the command prompt failed, I decided to find the file in question manually (to check that it was there), and whilst browsing I found C:\Program Files\McAfee\MSC\mcregist.exe. I double clicked on this and it opened some registration tool, which asked me if I wanted to re-send my registration information. I have done this, and it now works.


The main difference between unsecured and secured real estate lines of credit, comes down to how these loans are secured. Both loan types offer you a similar degree of flexibility and savings when compared to traditional financing. Evaluating the cost of both loan types can help you figure out which type of loan is right for your specific situation.
Your personal property provides security in the case secured lines of credit. Personal property can range from your primary residence to anything your business owns or some other form of collateral. With an unsecured line of credit, the loan isn't secured by anything except for your lender's estimation of your financial strength.
Now, why not just apply for a regular term mortgage to finance your next real-estate purchase?
With a term loan of any sort, a lump sum is given to you up front. No matter how much money you spend, you still need to make interest payments on the full loan amount. In addition, with term loans, you generally need to take a new loan out to finance each separate acquisition. A line of credit gives you far more flexibility. With a line of credit you only owe and pay interest on the amount you spend, and you don't need to apply for a new loan with every new purchase of real-estate.
Both unsecured and secured real estate lines of credit offer flexibility and savings over standard term loans, but there are some differences in terms of costs.
A secured line of credit is taken out and is secured by some form of collateral, which offers your lender a degree of safety should you default. By mitigating risk, lenders can provide lower interest payments on secured lines and larger credit limits. Nevertheless, with a secured loan of any sort, credit line or term loan, your personal or businesses assets at risk.
With unsecured credit lines you the borrower don't risk your personal property if you default. However, lenders need to protect themselves in some way, and so unsecured lines offer lower credit limits and entail higher interest rates, Unsecured lines also come with far more stringent qualifications versus their secured counterparts.
With secured and unsecured real estate lines its important to evaluate the costs of each loan type. This can help you determine which type of loan is right for your specific situation.
A secured line of credit is an excellent idea if you are confident you can pay back whatever you spend, as you don't want to lose your personal property in the course of expanding your business. Because secured lines offer lower interest payments and larger limits, it is probably best to employ a secured line of credit for making full offers on properties.
Unsecured lines may be more expensive, but they are an excellent way to reconcile differences between offers you want to make and the amount of cash you actually have on hand. You should employ unsecured lines only when necessary due to the higher interest payments involved.
In both cases having access to a credit line allows you to quickly close deals on investment properties. With a credit line, you don't need to wait on a lender to make a full offer, which can give you an edge over competing buyers who might need to wait on financing. In addition, credit lines can offer significant long-term savings over term loans because only pay back and pay interest on the amount that you spend.
As with any type of financing, consider the costs, the risks and the benefits of each type of credit line to figure out which one is right for your specific situation.

As long as interest rates remain low, investors will search for investments that promise safety and better-than-average returns.
This is especially true for retirees, who have been waiting for years for a boost in interest rates in order to earn more on certificates of deposit and money market funds.
That search for yield is highlighting two insurance products that tout attractive returns and principal protection: indexed annuities and indexed universal life insurance.
Yet take a minute before you write a check to your insurer. These contracts aren't the easiest to understand, which makes them ripe for misrepresentation and confusion.
"With indexed annuities and indexed universal life insurance, the marketing pitch is always that you get all of the upside of equities and have guarantees," said Larry J. Rybka, CEO of Valmark Securities, an Akron, Ohio-based broker-dealer. "It's really misleading."
An indexed annuity is an insurance contract. Money that you put into the annuity grows on a tax-deferred basis.
Insurers have sold more than $30 billion of indexed annuities in the first two quarters of 2016, according to data from LIMRA.
With these annuities, the amount you have invested will grow based on the gains of a market index.
Here's where things get complicated: You are not directly invested in the index, so you are not fully exposed to its increases or declines. Insurance companies use derivatives, which are complex financial instruments, to keep your account balance from falling when the index slides.
Increases to your account are subject to limitations that the insurer will impose. These are known as "rate caps," "participation rates" and "spreads." For instance, the index tied to your account might go up by 10 percent, but you'll only capture 5 percent due to these restrictions.
Insurance companies can reset these rates and change the interest crediting formula, which may curtail your return.
Don't forget that money you invest in an annuity is subject to surrender periods that often run five to 10 years, depending on the contract. Some annuities have surrender periods that are 15 years. You can lose a chunk of your principal if you try to cash out within that time.
If you exchange an already existing annuity for a new contract, you'll be subject to a new surrender period.
Even with those limitations, an indexed annuity can be a good fit for some, says Carolyn Johnson, CEO of insurance solutions at Voya.
"Indexed annuities fit really well for customers who don't want to take a lot of risk: They aren't subject to principal loss, but they want some upside," she said.
These contracts also provide income after you've stopped working.
"Adding an indexed annuity to your retirement portfolio makes sense if you have a need for guaranteed income and want to make sure you have your basic expenses covered when you stop working," Tom Burns, chief distribution officer for Allianz Life, wrote in an e-mail.
Perhaps the biggest problem with indexed annuities is how they are marketed: Investors can get the impression that their returns are supposed to be similar to equities.
"There are too many people who sell it as an equity alternative: 'You get the market upside without the downside,'" said Scott Stolz, president of Raymond James Insurance Group. "That simply creates false expectations."
Another area of confusion: living benefits. You pay an additional fee for this feature, which provides you with a growing stream of income that you can tap in the future.
The insurer assigns a dollar value to the living benefit, but be aware that this isn't hard cash that you can take with you right away. Rather, it's a notional value the insurance company will use to calculate how much income you receive.
Here is an example: You deposit $100,000 into an indexed annuity that will credit 2 percent interest on your principal each year. Your annuity also includes a living benefit feature that is valued at $100,000 the year you bought the annuity, but will grow at a 6 percent simple interest rate each year.
Based on those projections, by year 10, your account value will be $121,899; this is actual cash you can take with you, subject to surrender charges if you terminate the contract too soon.
In comparison, your living benefit will be valued at $160,000; this is a notional number used to calculate retirement income — not a pool of cash that you can withdraw.
How much you get in monthly income will vary according to the details of the contract, the account value and when you start taking withdrawals. Those are details you can discuss with your advisor.
In the meantime, don't confuse your living benefit value, which isn't actual cash, and your account value.
"A lot of people feel that the benefit base is what they can access [in cash]; they think they can take that money and walk away," said Andrew Murdoch, president of Somerset Wealth Strategies in Portland, Oregon. "Hands down, the biggest cause of that confusion is the way the living benefit is sold."
Indexed universal life is an insurance contract in which your principal will grow on a tax-deferred basis.
As in the case with indexed annuities, your money isn't invested in the market. Rather, the insurance company will credit you an interest rate that is tied to the performance of an index.
Some policies include features that will cover long-term care needs. Indexed universal life insurance, like other so-called permanent policies, can also be a tool for estate planning and retirement income strategies.
Sales of these contracts were $872 million for 2016 through the second quarter, according to Wink, a firm that analyzes the life insurance and annuity industries.
But beware: Insurance companies and agents have also marketed attractive projections on indexed universal life.
These policy illustrations say that customers can capture as much as 12 percent of an index's performance and demonstrate credited interest rates of up to 7 percent, experts say.
This is dangerous because if an indexed universal life contract does not perform according to the projection, the customer may be on the hook for higher premiums in future years to cover the fees on the policy and keep it in force.
"If you're looking at an illustration that shows [an index gain of] 12 percent every year, it's going to be more volatile than that," Voya's Johnson said. "The customer may think they'll need to put in fewer premiums, and that can cause disappointment for everyone."
State insurance regulators at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners last year released guidelines that insurers can use when illustrating policy performance, placing curbs on index values and crediting rates.
Because there are so many moving parts to an indexed universal life insurance policy, it makes sense to review the policy with an independent third-party or advisor to monitor any changes to the contract's expenses, interest rate and premiums.
Though both indexed annuities and indexed universal life insurance are attractive amid low rates, they can be difficult to understand. Be ready to ask your agent or advisor plenty of questions.
What does it cost me if I have to get out of the contract early? Don't forget that surrender charges will kick in if you withdraw your cash too soon after purchasing the annuity or life insurance policy.
What are you getting paid on this? Agents and advisors who also sell insurance make commissions on the sale of indexed annuities and life insurance, which can give them an incentive to make certain recommendations. Don't be afraid to ask how much they make if you buy a contract.
How does this policy credit interest every year? If they can't explain how this annuity or insurance contract works, then steer clear.

Facebook is "evaluating" whether to build Apple Watch app
By Sead Fadilpašić published 28 April 15
It has been days since the launch of the Apple Watch and one of the biggest advantages of the new device is the ability to connect to various social media platforms.
Twitter and Instagram have already made it there, and everyone seems to be more than impressed by how these platforms handled the limited real estate the Watch offers.
However, one social media platform is noticeably missing: Facebook.
During the initial press conference in March, Apple CEO Tim Cook showed an example of Facebook and stated that "You can connect to social media". But the Watch is here, and no 'social media'. So, where is this Facebook app?
This is a question that is evidently on the minds of a lot of people and as in response to all of this speculation, a spokesperson from Facebook gave the following statement:
"We're excited for the launch of the Apple Watch. We have nothing to announce today, but we're always evaluating new platforms to build the best Facebook experience for people."
It seems strange that Facebook is only '"evaluating" a Facebook app for the Watch, as Instagram, owned by Facebook, has a Watch app. On top of this, Facebook arguably could offer more value to the Watch than Instagram.
For those social media addicts out there, fear not, information from Facebook is still available on the Watch.
Danny Sullivan from Marketing Land pointed out in his Apple Watch social app reviews that users can currently get Facebook notifications (along with Google+ and Pinterest) on the Apple Watch. The layout of the notifications interestingly are exactly the same as those shown by Tim Cook last month.
Maybe there wasn't ever an app planned – that notifications are enough on their own, though that's doubtful. All we know for sure is that Facebook is "evaluating" the platform.

Core administrative and business areas of city partially reopened after rioting

Calls for calm and rational discussions on Hong Kong"s extradition bill were made on Thursday, after the city experienced chaos and economic losses due to Wednesday"s protest-turned-riot.
The appeals came after tens of thousands of demonstrators paralyzed Hong Kong"s core administrative and business area to halt deliberation of the extradition bill in the Legislative Council. During the protest, there were several violent clashes between radical demonstrators and riot police.
In a televised speech on Wednesday night, HKSAR Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor called the protest "a blatant, organized riot".
The rioting left 22 police officers and 81 protestors injured. Eleven demonstrators have been arrested for unlawful assembly, assaulting the police, disorderly conduct in a public place and other rioting-related crimes, according to police.
After being paralyzed for all of Wednesday, traffic in Admiralty-the area where the SAR government headquarters, the Legislative Council and many international financial institutions are located-partially resumed on Thursday, with plastic bags, water bottles and umbrellas scattered on the roadway.
The government headquarters will remain closed on Friday due to security concerns.
The scheduled second reading of the government"s extradition bill has been postponed to next week at the soonest.
Hong Kong stocks dropped for a second consecutive trading session on Thursday, with market sentiment weighed down by fear that tensions between protesters and police remain high after the city"s violent demonstrations.
After an almost 500-point tumble in the morning session, the city"s Hang Seng Index cut its losses later in the afternoon and closed down by 0.05 percent, or 13.7 points, to 27,294.
Legislator Wong Ting-kwong, who represents the import and export sector in Legislative Council, called on Hong Kong to return to order soon, saying it will help address the international community"s concern over its business environment.
Responding to worries over Hong Kong"s stability and judicial independence, Wong said most of them were generated by a lack of understanding of Hong Kong society. He added that the demonstrators" violent methods were threatening public safety.
Wong called on the government to better explain the issue to the public. "As social stability is restored, I"m confident that international concerns will be allayed accordingly," Wong said.
While strongly condemning violent acts by some demonstrators, Commissioner of Police Lo Waichung said the police sincerely hope the public can express their opinions in a peaceful, orderly and lawful manner.
Saddened by the violent conflicts on Wednesday, the Law Society of Hong Kong reiterated that the bill should be debated in a calm, rational and constructive manner, with a view to finding a suitable solution for the benefit of Hong Kong as a whole.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the professional association for solicitors in Hong Kong stressed that the city is a civilized society with a diverse population, where engagement through rational debate has always been respected.
The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong-the largest political party in the Legislative Council-urged opponents not to deteriorate the already chaotic situation in the council, nor to jeopardize its constitutional duties to scrutinize bills.
Noting that many protestors were of the younger generation, the party stressed that young people today will be the pillars of the city tomorrow. It called on them to stop tearing apart society through extreme behavior, and try to seek constructive measures to remedy the chaos.
In Beijing, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday stressed that it was unnecessary for some people to worry that amendments to Hong Kong"s extradition law will affect the international community"s confidence in the SAR.
Geng Shuang, spokesman of the ministry, noted that Hong Kong has been a stable and prosperous economy since the SAR"s return to the motherland, while the "one country, two systems" principle and a high degree of autonomy are being successfully implemented.

PDC: Microsoft's Cloud-Based SQL Services Redefined
Microsoft is evolving its strategy for relational data services in the cloud.
As the company's vision for cloud-based computing is shared with over 6,000 developers this week at its Professional Developers Conference, Microsoft is announcing that SQL Server Data Services is now the storage component of a broader suite of data-related services called "SQL Services." SQL Server Data Services is renamed SQL Data Services (SDS).
SQL Services is part of the Azure Services Platform for building cloud applications intended to run on Windows Azure, Microsoft's new cloud-based operating system, unveiled here on Monday. The Azure Services Platform consists of Live Services, .NET Services, SQL Services, SharePoint Services and Dynamic CRM Services. PDC attendees can register for the Azure Services Platform and request .NET Services, Live Services and SDS provisioning (SDS is still in private beta).
Microsoft's data storage in the cloud is an evolving technology that faces a nascent market despite some early success by Amazon's DB2.
"We've been focused on the back-end infrastructure for several years," said Dave Campbell, Microsoft Technical Fellow and SDS team leader. Microsoft is using its back-end infrastructure for its own internal services, some of which will roll out early next year, according to Campbell.
"The interesting thing about the front-end [is that] we are learning so much," he said. "What are the use cases? What are the optimal design points? So we are still trying to sort that out.
"Now, once we make the call there," he continued, "we will be able to settle that down quite quickly because most of investment and the long tail of settling things out has been in the back-end."
The SDS team is looking at issues such as balance in the data model, approachability versus flexibility, ways to separate physical and logical data administration, the power required to run it in an automated fashion without runaway queries, and so on.
"We are looking at, 'Where do we draw the line?' and that line will shift over time," Campbell said.
SQL Services Labs Portal
A closer look at some of the projects that Microsoft has underway is available at the SQL Services Labs portal, which went live on Monday. Microsoft is working on several incubation projects, many of which are likely to become part of SQL Services, the Microsoft Synchronization Framework or Live Mesh in the future. These projects include work on a data access interface for ADO.NET Data Services (JSON and AtomPub) as well as offline data synchronization using the Microsoft Sync Framework. Other projects focus on reporting against SQL Data Services and Data Mining.
SQL Data Services started as an incubation project about two years ago with participation from both Microsoft Research and the SQL Server team. SDS today is developed on an eight-week sprint, according to Campbell.
"We found that we were able to really innovate quickly because we can put something out there and get feedback immediately...and eight weeks later have something that addresses it," Campbell said. "Where it was two, three or four years with the shrink-wrapped product, it is a matter of weeks here."
The SDS data model, which is based on flexible entities, is inherently multi-tenant, Campbell explained. It supports REST and SOAP wire formats. An authority (DMS domain name) can have a number of containers and entities within those containers. Each entity has an identity (Id), a distinguished attribute called a Kind and a number of properties associated with it. "You can look at entities within that container as if they were logical tables discriminating on the Kind," Campbell said.
"At PDC, as we have evolved the service, we have announced support for relational joins across Kinds and containers," he said. "The beauty of this is it's very, very approachable and very, very friendly for people who are designing, sort of, outside-in and really want schema flexibility in the system."
SQL Data Services is described by Microsoft as an open platform. To that end, the SDS team announced support for a Ruby toolkit, released sample source code for the SDS SDK including a REST Library, ResourceProvider and ActiveProvider. The source code is available for download at Github and as gems on RubyForge. Support for PHP is planned, according to Campbell.
The SDS public beta is likely to become available in a matter of weeks or months, according to Campbell, with a general availability target in 2009.

Q: how to write cdktf module instead terraform module Instead of referring terraform module in cdktf i want to refer CDKTF typescript files to combine several resources as one. How can i achieve this?
Below is for terraform module but expecting something like this for cdktf
"terraformModules": [
{
"name": "my-local-module",
"source": "./New folder"
}
],

A: You can use import {myExport} from "./path-to-ts-file"; and export myExport = ... in the file you are exporting from. You can see an example for this in the serverless typescript demo: https://github.com/hashicorp/cdktf-integration-serverless-example/blob/main/main.ts#L5 & https://github.com/hashicorp/cdktf-integration-serverless-example/blob/main/posts/index.ts#L13

A: You need to import the Terraform module, then run cdktf get and finally import it, e.g.:
import { MyLocalModule } from "./.gen/modules/my-local-module";

Wikileaked: Lobbying firm tried to help Syrian regime polish image as violence raged

The lobbying firm that brought you a Vogue story featuring the Syrian first lady was still trying to help the Syrian regime improve its image abroad two months after the notoriously ill-timed article was published and then scrubbed, as the country descended into violence, according to a document revealed by Wikileaks.
The international firm Brown Lloyd James (BLJ) was officially employed by the Office of the First Lady of the Syrian Arab Republic Asma al-Assad in Nov. 2010 for $5,000 per month to help arrange and execute the article, which appeared in the March 2011 edition of Vogue. The fawning piece, entitled, "Rose of the Desert," was actually scrubbed from the Vogue website out of embarrassment when Assad began a brutal crackdown on non-violent protests that month. But you can still read it here.
BLJ's contract with the Assad regime, signed by BLJ partner Mike Holtzman and Syrian government official Fares Kallas, expired in March of last year, according to documents posted on the Foreign Agents Registration Act website. The firm had claimed its work on behalf of the Assads ended in Dec. 2010.
But in May 2011, BLJ sent another memo to Kallas and the Syrian government, giving them advice on how to improve their image and institute a more effective public relations strategy amid the exploding violence in Syria. The memo was published by the Wikileaks website in their dump of 2.4 million Syrian documents this week.
"It is clear from US government pronouncements since the beginning of the public demonstrations in Syria that the Obama Administration wants the leadership in Syria to survive," begins the May 19, 2011, memo. "Unlike its response to demonstrations in some other countries in the region, there have been no US demands for regime change in Syria nor any calls for military intervention, criticism has been relatively muted and punitive sanctions — by not being aimed directly at President Assad — have been intended more as a caution than as an instrument to hurt the leadership."
The memo was sent only days after Syrian military forces stormed the town of Baniyas and moved into the cities of Hama and Homs, where civilian massacres soon followed. Three days before the memo was sent, 20 bodies of murdered civilians were discovered in a shallow grave in the city of Daraa. President Barack Obama called for Assad to step down that August.
The memo goes on to warn the Assad regime that the mood in Washington is turning against the regime, as evidenced by tougher statements coming from Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) and increasingly critical stories in the U.S. media. BLJ warns the Assads that if they don't get smart about public relations quick, the U.S. system might just turn against them.
"[Increasing bad PR] not only reinforces the Administration's change of tone, it is emboldening critics — who maintain that Syria's reform efforts are not sincere–and building up pressure on the US government to take further, more drastic steps against the country," the memo states.
BLJ then goes into an extensive set of recommendations for how the Assad regime can put a better spin on the largely government-led violence.
"[S]oft power is needed to reassure the Syrian people and outside audiences that reform is proceeding apace, legitimate grievances are being addressed and taken seriously, and that Syria's actions are ultimately aimed at creating an environment in which change and progress can take place," BLJ explains.
The Assad regime should appoint one figure to "own" the reform agenda to convince Syrians and the outside world the reform effort is "sincere," BLJ advised.
"Refocusing the perception of outsiders and Syrians on reform will provide political cover to the generally sympathetic US Government, and will delegitimize critics at home and abroad," the memo reads.
BLJ even recommends that First Lady Asma al-Assad should "get in the game," do a "listening tour" with the president, and start doing press interviews to create an "echo chamber" in the media that reinforces the idea that Assad is reform-minded.
"The absence of a public figure as popular, capable, and attuned to the hopes of the people as Her Excellency at such a critical moment is conspicuous. The key is to show strength and sympathy at once," BLJ writes.
BLJ also recommends that the Assad regime get more serious about containing negative media stories and the voices of the Syrian opposition around the world, which the memo calls "the daily torrent of criticism and lies." BJR told the Assads they should institute 24-hour media monitoring in the United States and challenge and then remove any websites that are "false."
Overall, the memo recommends that the Assad regime get smart on messaging and start trying to convince the world that the Syrian government is benevolent, that all killings by the military were not officially sanctioned, and that the crisis is not as bad as the international community believes.
"Efforts should be made to convey 'normalcy' and a contrast to current news depicting Syria as being on the verge of chaos," the memo reads.
Contacted for comment by The Cable Friday, Holtzman said that their official work with the Syrian government came at a time when many, including the U.S. government, had high hopes for progress in opening up Syria. He also said that the May 2012 memo was a "last-ditch" effort "to encourage a peaceful outcome rather than violence."
Holtzman said that BLJ was not paid for writing the memo and that the firm hasn't done any work for the regime since. He framed the memo as an attempt to get the Assad regime to behave better.
"We noted that if the regime was serious about dramatic reform that 'reform-oriented outreach must be dramatically improved', and recommended that Syria begin to directly 'engage families and young people' in these reforms," Holtzman said. "Unfortunately, our advice was ignored and our professional involvement in the country ended, just prior to new U.S. sanctions being put into effect."

On Friday the DSCC declared that they are leaving Maine's airwaves in the US Senate race as of Tuesday. They will no longer be running their anti-Charlie Summers ads. This follows the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee which stopped running their anti-Angus King ads in mid October, the Sierra Club which stopped running their pro-King ads last week, and the US Chamber who ran their last anti-King ad on October 22nd.
This exodus probably means these groups see the race as settled. Indeed, the numbers I have heard in the past week have shown King with a steady high single-digit to low double-digit lead.
That said, there are still two outside groups who have yet to pull their money in support of their candidate. Michael Bloomberg, through Americans Elect (the group that pulled the King campaign out of a death spiral), is still heavily on air. And the evil empire of Karl Rove, through Crossroads GPS, still has a heavy final week supporting Summers. Plus, both King and Summers have purchased solid airtime through Election Day.
Perhaps these two powerhouses of politics are seeing something the other groups are not. Perhaps Crossroads thinks it can reignite a King slide or maybe Americans Elect is fearful of a Summers surge. Certainly Karl Rove and Michael Bloomberg do not waste money on races that are settled.
However, if either of these groups pull out in the next few days, you know the race is done.

Q: Extra query parameters It is possible to pass extra query parameters from the web application that calls the B2C policy.
With MSAL:
AuthenticationParameters.extraQueryParameters
{
  extraQueryParameters: { ['utm_source']: window.location.origin },
}

This will add "&utm_source=something.com" in the URL

mytenant.b2clogin.com/mytenant.onmicrosoft.com/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?p=B2C_1A_signup_signin&utm_source=something.com&.....

My problem is that as soon as I jump to a second page, or click on the Sign Up link, you completely loose all of these extra query parameters.
i.e You click on SignUp, the url is now

mytenant.b2clogin.com/mytenant.onmicrosoft.com/B2C_1A_signup_signin/api/CombinedSigninAndSignup/unified?local=signup&csrf_token=123456&tx=StateProperties=123456&p=B2C_1A_signup_signin

How can I keep these extra query params?
How can I also keep these params when you go to a Social IDP then back on the social confirmation page?

A: Resolve the query parameters in the initial page. Then it doesn't matter what the user does next.
