Intermediaries are governed by the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services (FAIS) Act which governs their actions and regulates the way in which advice is given to a client. While this act has been a welcome addition to the industry, some intermediaries have been taking a significant beating by the Act.
This was yet again, the issue in the recent determination by the FAIS Ombudsman (FAIS Ombud). The case was between Daphne Auret Foster (hereafter referred to as the complainant), Vaidro Investments (hereafter referred to as the first respondent) and Andrea Moolman (hereafter referred to as the second respondent).
Facing stumbling blocks
In 2011, the complainant invested a combined total of R800 000 in a Relative Value Arbitrage Fund (RVAF). To make up R800 000, the first payment of R150 000 was made in February, followed by a payment of R550 000 in June and lastly, R100 000 in November.
The fund was managed and operated as a hedge fund – by one Herman Pretorius, (now deceased) – with no license of its own.
The investments were made in consequence of the recommendation and advice of the second respondent, who acted as the complainant's financial adviser. The complainant states that the purpose of the investment was two-fold, namely capital growth for an imminent retirement, as well as the access to additional cash in the event of Mr Foster's passing.
The complainant was advised that the RVAF would be less risky than investing in the JSE, in that the risks were better managed. In this regard, the complainant was advised that whilst the returns in good time would be less, conversely the returns during a downturn would not be as bad. In this respect, the complainant was advised and shown records indicating not only that the fund had shown good performance over a long period but that it even showed a positive return over the stock exchange crash of 2008.
Accordingly, the complainant, when asked by the Office what needs analysis was conducted by the respondent, replied that this was not necessary as the couple had other investments for their pension. Furthermore, the complainant advised that she was also offered another hedge fund; however, the respondent advised her that the RVAF was more secure and suitable to her requirements. The investment comprised all of complainant's investable capital but constituted 15% of the couples total retirement savings.
The complainant blames the respondent for poor advice and the loss of her investment of R800 000. It was expected that the funds were to be invested and trade in the top 40 companies on the JSE and that certain measures would be in place to manage risk. Accordingly, the complainant states that the investment was misrepresented being in fact a Ponzi or fraudulent scheme and the complainant holds the respondents accountable.
A painted canvas
The FAIS Ombud invited the respondent to respond to the complaint. The respondent stated that the complainant's husband wanted to invest in the RVAF, but wanted to do so in his wife's name (the complainant) for tax purposes. The husband wished to meet with Herman Pretorius in order to ask several questions.
According to the respondent, the husband advised that he is well informed and knowledgeable regarding trading shares and that he himself in his own capacity trades Satrix top 402 and hence understood that the investment made use of a partnership agreement. No Financial Needs Analysis (FNA) was conducted as this was treated as a single need. The complainant required nothing more as he is already well invested for retirement.
The record of advice evidences that the complainant was warned by the respondent about the high risks of the product.
The respondent only provided factual information on hedge funds and did not provide advice. The respondent advised that Herman Pretorius explained the strategies and how the risk was managed. She stated that by having reasonable knowledge of Hedge Funds, she concluded that the strategy, as explained to her, was a suitable investment for the client. The respondent contended that she was satisfied that persons investing in the fund were fully appreciative and aware of the risks involved.
What is not in dispute, is that the complainant sought guidance from a licensed financial adviser; namely the respondent. In so doing, the respondent had a duty to ensure that the advice that was provided was correct and appropriate for the complainant's circumstances. Other than taking an interest in his own financial affairs, there is no evidence that the complainant's husband possessed any particular investment knowledge or experience. Had the complainant's husband been the experienced investor the respondent makes him out to be, he would have certainly steered clear of RVAF.
Immeasurable accountability
The inescapable conclusion is that the respondent knew nothing about the fund or its underlying investment and was in no position to advise her clients to invest in it.
No sensible person having been given the correct material information or advice would have invested in RVAF. Nothing in the records explains why it was necessary to take such a risk with a substantial portion of the complainant's capital.
The issue determined is that the respondent failed to act honestly, with care and diligence. The complaint is upheld and the respondents are ordered, jointly and severally, the one paying the other to be absolved, to pay to complainant the amount of R800 000.
Editor's Thoughts:
We need to be honest and also admit that poor advice is also a major contributor in some of the FAIS determinations – it is such a pity that some "bad apples" give the industry a bad name and thus give professional advisers a harder time with selling and compliance with regulation.

Are industry regulators preserving the integrity of the industry?
Author: Jonathan Faurie
Are we as an industry being protected by the regulator? We often receive determinations sent to us by the office of the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Ombudsman (FAIS Ombud), and there is a common thread in most of the determinations. There are certain advisers in the industry who seemingly have a blatant disregard for the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services (FAIS) Act and they think that they can get away with defrauding clients.
Predictably they do not always get away, as the Ombud have an open door policy for the public to raise any concerns that they have regarding an adviser. The Ombud then investigates the claim and if it is found that the adviser is guilty a fine will be imposed. But is this enough? This is the question we are left with to reflect on after reading a recent determination handed down by the FAIS Ombud.
Negotiating a normal client interaction
Dr Craig Inch (complainant), a dental practitioner, was seeking an investment plan that would best suit his needs and help grow his savings. After recommendation by a college, the complainant arranged a meeting with Michal Calitz (respondent) to discuss the possible investments which would be best for the complainant.
During the original discussion, a number of unit trusts were discussed and it was recommended that the complainant look into these unit trusts. A follow-up meeting was arranged and the respondent made mention of a hedge fund that the complainant's college, who was a client of the respondent, had spoken of. The fund was doing well and the complainant asked the respondent if he knew of any other funds which operated in a similar manner. The respondent recommended the Relative Value Arbitrage Fund (RVAF).
The complainant was hesitant to invest in a high risk fund as he was thinking of investing his whole life savings into this fund and could not afford to lose it. In the complainants version to the Ombud, he said that he made this very clear to the respondent. He asked the respondent to explain the RVAF in more detail to which the respondent explained that the fund took long positions in stocks which were expected to increase in value and short positions on stocks which were expected to decrease in value.
The complainant then asked about the performance of the fund to which the respondent assured him that the fund's performance was in the region of twenty percent per annum.
The respondent apparently told the complainant that a hedge fund was not regulated in the same way as a unit trust portfolio. The respondent then assured the complainant that the RVAF fund did have all of the correct paperwork and documentation. During the investigation of the Ombud, it was clear that this was not the case.
With regards to the fee structure, the complainant was told (as he remembers it) that he did not have to pay a fee and instead that twenty percent of the profits generated from the fund would be used as a fee.
The complainant obviously felt uneasy about the investment because he once again mentioned his reluctance to invest in a high risk vehicle as he would be investing his whole life savings of R600 000. He asked the respondent how much he should invest and the respondent recommended the complainant invest R500 000. The complainant was assured about the stability of the fund and that it was not influenced by market fluctuations. The respondent reiterated that many of his clients invested in the fund and that he was also an investor in the fund.
When the complainant wanted to withdraw R600 000 from the fund, he emailed a letter of intent to the fund, to which he was informed of the death of Herman Pretorius who was a fund manager and a trustee of the fund.
Opening a can of worms
Unlike many other recent determinations, the respondent did respond to the allegations made to the Ombud.
In his defence, the respondent said that the complainant asked about the RVAF and not the other way around. In the record of advice there was also no indication that the respondent mentioned to the complainant that hedge funds are not regulated in the same way as unit trust funds.
Two articles on a prominent media site unsettled the respondent and prompted him to withdraw all of his client's savings out of the RVAF. However, he did not mention what particular aspects of the articles made him withdraw the funds.
The respondent further adds that he cannot accept responsibility for what seems to be one person's deliberate intention to defraud investors.
Unearthing a long list of infringements
The list of aspects of the FAIS Act which the respondent infringed on in this case was very extensive and took up twenty pages in the Ombud's determination, which can be read here.
One of the most important aspects of the FAIS Act which the respondent contravened was the poor selection of the vehicle in which the funds were invested. During the Ombud's investigation it was found that there was no financial needs analysis done. The respondent did not present a range of options which could have been invested in other than the RVAF and the complainant never received any documentation that the RVAF was the fund that his capital was invested in. There was also a significant grey area on who the respondent was representing.
Was justice served?
Upon the death of Herman Pretorius, the RVAF went into liquidation and all of the capital invested in the fund was lost. However, the complaint was upheld by the Ombud as it ruled that the capital should never have been invested in this fund in the first place. The respondent was instructed to pay the complainant R500 000 and interest at a rate of fifteen point five percent per year.
What is the role of the Financial Services Board (FSB) in this debacle? Despite the fact that Calitz should have been dealt with by the regulator long before this determination took place, the issue is what will happen to Calitz now? The ruling of the Ombud can hardly be described as a slap on the wrist, but if he is allowed to continue practicing, is justice being served? In all fairness, the FSB should suspend Calitz and never allow him to practice again.
The financial services industry operates on public perception. If the public thinks that one adviser is fraudulent, they may paint a lot of other advisers in the industry with the same brush. The FSB has a duty to fight for the reputation of the industry. Is it fulfilling its role?

Lucki Ayu and Taufik along with photographer Jejakurcaci had one vision to portray a simplistic, classic and elegant ambience for their pre-wedding album. They decided to choose an old warehouse as their studio, and with the help Angelita Nurhadi and Shavira Saidinur as their stylist and wardrobe from Studiojeje, these two lovebirds became the focal points that stood out from the all-gray background of the warehouse.
Just by simple interactions with another, the pair was able to resonate a strong energy, while the photographer was 'stealing' images of the couple's intimacy. A few chairs, a carpet and flowers were used here and there to compliment the setting and add more color.
For the first concept, they went for the traditional route where Lucki Ayu channeled kebaya and Taufik a modernized Javanese traditional lurik clothing. Then, the couple switched to a modern semi-formal concept where Taufik wore a sleek suit and tie and Lucki graced us all with a gray dress. We love how effortlessly beautiful they look in this album, don't you think?
Love their photoshoot as much as we do? Add them to your inspiration board!

Will Acquisitions Slow Avago's Growth?
Chipmaker Avago has been on a tear over the last year. It's also made a large acquisition that will effectively double revenue. But, will the acquisition actually slow growth down the line?
Semiconductor maker Avago (NASDAQ:AVGO) has grown revenue wildly over the last year, due largely to its successful position in wireless communications and wired infrastructure. In addition, Avago made a big acquisition earlier this year, buying fellow chip maker LSI for $6.6 billion, and it is also preparing for a second, smaller acquisition . These deals will strengthen Avago's technology portfolio and give the company stability. But, will they also slow the rapid growth that Avago has experienced?
Revenue at Avago has grown between 19%-25% year over year for each of the last three quarters. This growth has been driven by the ongoing LTE rollout in China, as well as key accounts with wireless handset giants Samsung and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). In the most recent quarter, the wireless and wired segments grew a staggering 25% and 43%, respectively, and now account for over 80% of Avago's income.
Avago stock price and revenue growth. Source: YCharts.
This growth looks likely to continue throughout the year for several reasons. First, Avago's FBAR filter technology has gotten a huge boost in demand from the spread of LTE phones, as it allows these phones to rely on a greater number of frequency bands. Second, the LTE rollout is still in the early stages in China, and it is beginning to take off in the rest of the world as well, which will drive both wireless and wired demand. Finally, Apple's expected release of the iPhone 6 later in the year will also contribute to demand for Avago's wireless products.
Last December, Avago announced that it would buy LSI, a provider of storage and networking controllers, for $6.6 billion in cash, a deal that closed this May. Avago immediately divested part of this acquisition, selling LSI's flash controller business to storage provider Seagate (NASDAQ:STX) for $450 million in cash, since this segment did not fit in with Avago's long-term strategy, according to management. The rest of the LSI business is expected to strengthen Avago's position in the wired infrastructure market, as well as give it a leadership position in the storage controller market.
Avago also recently announced that it intends to buy PLX Technology for approximately $300 million in cash. This deal, which is expected to close in Avago's fiscal fourth quarter, should further strengthen the company's storage and networking portfolio.
As a result of the LSI acquisition, Avago's revenue in the third quarter is expected to be between $1.32 billion-$1.4 billion, almost double the revenue from the same quarter last year. Looking down the line, the LSI products should effectively help balance out Avago's high-growth, potentially volatile wireless business. Avago's CEO, Hock Tan, confirmed as much, stating that the company is now composed of two fast-growing segments, wireless and wired infrastructure, and two stable segments, storage and industrial.
Over the next 12 months, the wireless and wired segments are expected to continue to grow quickly. According to management, storage and industrial will probably grow in the low-to-mid single digits, and the entire company should see growth in the high single digits, or low double digits.
Following the beginning of revenue expansion last year, Avago's stock price has almost doubled. It seems inevitable that some of the share-price growth was not just a rational response to Avago's improved performance, but was due in part to investors' excitement over a hot and rapidly expanding company.
Avago remains a good company, and in fact, the large LSI acquisition made it more diversified and more stable. However, it is not clear whether the current high price can continue to increase, or even hold once the more modest growth rates become apparent to the investing public. With its combination of stable and growing business segments, Avago will probably make for a good long-term investment, but it might make sense to wait until the excitement over its recent growth abates.

Two parties had a conversation using the Google translator, where both parties inserted anything they wanted to say in Korean, which was translated into English and back to Korean. The participants had to say the translated lines in order to communicate with the other party. The book is a documentation of this 'translated dialogue.' I wanted to illustrate the disconnections between the original and the translated contents through juxtaposing the actual meaning of the dialogue and its translated version. The change in color of the images also mark these moments of disconnection and isolation.
In Douglas Crimp's essay "Pictures" he addresses the role of the image "caption."
He states, "The caption did not state the signification of the picture; rather it provided the drawing with a meaning that is did not otherwise have."
I found that our digital lifestyles create the perfect example of this action. The artists (account holders) are re-contextualizing their images and skewing the audience's interpretation.
Identity is tangible. Our time is spent posting pictures ("art") of ourselves to "make a statements." The image posted becomes lost in a mass of pictures that may or may not look or feel visually similar. Due to the inaccessibility of these images, the captions are able to speak for themselves. Thus the picture becomes dependent on the caption to create meaning and will take on a different connotation without it.
My installation requires the audience to apply their own self reflection through other identities.
The photo was taken during the walk of zoom-in intervals. I enjoyed the way in which the red-block was hiding in between all the typical stone bricks. It seemed to me like it was purposefully hidden on the corner, but at the same time the vibrancy of its color made it stand out among all the bricks of the wall. It seemed to me like an indication or a message.
After our final class, I added additional information to my clothing label scroll. I felt that instead of complicating the scroll with another object that required manipulation (book or scroll part II), turning it into an installation of sorts made more sense. The upper portion is similar to what would be next to a painting/object in an exhibit, but the scroll feeds directly out of the bottom of the placard. The placard is divided on the side according to the percentage of my clothing from each of the 20 countries of origin represented in my wardrobe. I am into the way that it looks when it is on the wall…the bundle at the bottom on the ground is simultaneously obnoxious and appealing.
Here's a link to a screen capture video of the webpage that I made. The footage of scrolling by just holding down the right arrow was about 8 minutes long, so I sped it up quite a bit. In the second iteration of this assignment, I chose to create a nearly infinite field of Jane Browns. I took the first google image that came up when I searched "Jane Brown" and made her the poster woman for all of us. All of the images lie on the same horizontal line, but vary in distance from the lefthand side of the screen according to that particular Jane Brown's distance from me. On this webpage, 1 inch=1 mile roughly. So, you have to scroll for a while to get to the Jane Browns in California. I enjoy the notion that I can begin to sense the distance between me and all of the other versions of me across the nation. We're all over the place.

Q: Silent remote notifications with bluemix for ios Is there a way to send silent or mixed remote notifications with bluemix? There is no such option in the dashboard.
I want my app to fetch data while it's in background when receiving a remote notification.
Edit (copy-paste from comment):
I meant what is the way to send mixed push notifications from Bluemix side, not how to handle it client side. The solution is to use REST API:
POST https://mobile.eu-gb.bluemix.net/imfpush/v1/apps/$(app_id)/messages

with body:
"settings": { "apns": { "type":'MIXED' }

A: Handling of notifications is done client-side and what you're wanting to do is certainly possible. Taking from the Bluemix Documentation for Push Notifications linked here

Silent notifications do not appear on the device screen. These notifications are received by the application in the background, which wakes up the application for up to 30 seconds to perform the specified background task. A user might not be aware of the notification arrival.
  To handle silent push notifications, implement the following method in appDelegate.m.

// For Objective C

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult result))handler
{
    NSNumber *contentAvailable = userInfo[@"aps"][@"content-available"];
    if([contentAvailable intValue]== 1){
        [[IMFPushClient sharedInstance] application:application didReceiveRemoteNotification:userInfo];

        //Perform background task
        NSLog(@"Received a silent push..");
        NSLog(@"userInfo: %@", userInfo.description);
        _appDelegateVC.result.text = userInfo.description;
        handler(UIBackgroundFetchResultNewData);
    }
    else{
        //Normal Notification
        [[IMFPushAppManager get] notificationReceived:userInfo];

        NSLog(@"Received a normal notification.");
        NSLog(@"userInfo: %@", userInfo.description);
        _appDelegateVC.result.text = userInfo.description;
        handler(UIBackgroundFetchResultNoData);

    }
    //Success
}

The contentAvailable value that is sent by the server for silent notifications is equal to 1.

Haha wicked... Nice one for 129 - that was back in my radio days. Some of the harmonic mixes in it are a bit dodgy but I feel I've much improved my 'musical ear' and general technique a lot since then. Glad you like the selection in it.
Rich, this mix is excellent. IMO, the best one this year. I love concord dawn but then again I'm from New Zealand.
Apropos of nothing, I recently realised that I have over eight gigs of Digital Soundboard mixes in iTunes.
That's good to hear NB - my aim is to make mixes you feel are worth having archives of rather than disposable like so many others are. This is what inspired me to learn the theory and develop my harmonic mixing skills in the first place...to create a type of mix I just couldn't find anywhere else.
I do like State Of Mind and enjoy including their music. If you do a search using the box in the page header you should find 'em. Big up NZ for feeling the dnb!

Michael Vick injury: Philadelphia Eagles QB out for game with concussion
By Jason Brewer Nov 11, 2012, 5:28pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Michael Vick injury: Philadelphia Eagles QB out for game with concussion
Eagles QB Michael Vick has been taken to the locker room for concussion tests in the 2nd quarter of the Eagles game against the Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field.
[Update by JasonB, 11/11/12 5:32 PM EST ] The Eagles have announced that Vick is out for the game with a concussion
Vick was knocked down on a fairly innocuous looking play, but his helmet appeared to hit the turf and reportedly knocked him in the eye. FOX sideline reporter says he lost vision in his right eye for a short time. The Eagles decided to take him to the locker room for vision and concussion tests.
In his place, rookie Nick Foles entered the game to a big ovation from the Lincoln Financial Field crowd. His first series, however, ended up as a 3 and out.
Vick has been having a productive afternoon. He's 6-9 for 70 yards and a TD so far. Late in the 2nd quarter the Eagles and Cowboys are tied at 7.

The plight of the Muslim population in France is the same as the French wants to impose their secular ways on a population without assimilating them and then getting worried about all the violence that occurs if something happens in the country. Being secular does not mean that one should abandon their religion in order to assimilate. That I believe will never happen since there will always be backlash in this forced assimilation. If speaking and eating French is the case, then it is always happening but to say that is enough without even tackling the huge unemployment and discrimination that the immigrants face is just plain denial. Britain is also a case in point but there they have tried to assimilate the immigrants and their next British born generation but the racism that endures in that country and the conflict between the native white population and their former colonial subjects tends to boil over now and then. But every time some bad happens in Britain, the finger start pointing towards the assimilation creature and then it all starts with that the immigrant population is not assimilating enough and then another set of laws start to take shape in order to bring in immigrants who knows the ways of their adopted country. I believe that most of this assimilation is more to do with racism and the uncomfortable feeling of the local population that somehow their way of life is threatened by this so called "Muslim Population" who supposedly refuse to integrate fully with the society or they are different than others.


**Update** This got preached pretty much according to the script at 8 o'clock – but at 9.30 we had real live children, so I ditched the script, and preached something along these lines, bigging up Moses' story, our story and God's story. It seemed to work – thank you God!
The story in our Old Testament reading starts in such an ordinary way. A man and a woman meet, they marry, and soon the woman becomes pregnant. At least it always seemed ordinary to me until I was the woman who married and became pregnant.
The older I become, the more aware I become of the other stories. The stories of people who never met the right partner, and so never had the opportunity to have children. The stories of those who are gay, and so for whom the likelihood of parenting is much lower. The stories of those who found the right partner, but could not conceive. The stories of those who conceived, but miscarried. The stories of those whose children were born safely, but then died, sometimes very young, sometimes much later in life. The stories of children born, but where the relationship fractures, sometimes very badly indeed. The stories of those who have fostered, adopted, tried to adopt. The stories of those who didn't want children yet found themselves pregnant. The stories of those who never wanted to be parents but acquired step children. And that's just from the parental point of view.
Add the experience of children, and we have all shared the experience of being children, into the mix and the possibility of things going wrong start to multiply…. from the point of view of the parent, siblings and child…not to mention wider family and community. Happy Mother's Day.
There is nothing ordinary about the birth of any child. There was nothing ordinary about the birth of Moses – and his first three months were spent with his mother trying desperately to conceal his existence. Pharaoh had given the order – Israelite baby girls were to be allowed to live, Israelite baby boys were to be thrown into the Nile. Ethnic cleansing isn't a recent event. So Moses was eventually cast into the Nile, but not as Pharaoh intended. Moses was safely in a basket made waterproof with tar and pitch, and his sister watched over him. Although he was cast adrift, and his future was hideously uncertain, he was protected to some extent. His mother had done her best to give him a chance of survival. And as we have heard, in this case her work and trust were rewarded – Moses survived, and she got some part in the upbringing of her son, at least in his early years.
We might chose to take from the story that life is messy and complicated, and not at all tidy – but we know that from experience. I'd like to draw a different parallel.
We talk about, and during the Creed affirm, our faith in God the Father and God the Son (not forgetting God the Holy Spirit). If we are feeling progressive, we might use images of God as Mother. We sometimes refer to our Mother Church – and of course returning to Mother Church, the church where we were baptized or brought up, was the origin of Mothering Sunday. That meant extended families tended to gather, and so Mothering Sunday became a day of celebration, Refreshment Sunday, a day of lightness in Lent.
So today, Mothering Sunday is about the Christian Church. Happy Mothering Sunday. How hard is it to start a new church? God became a Man, fully human and fully divine, and a few, a very few, people met Him, heard Him speak, became His disciples, and followed Him. In percentage terms, the numbers were tiny. He died on a cross, and that should have been the end of it. He rose again, and the rulers of the time did their best to suppress the stories, the rumours, the gradual increase in the numbers of those who heard the stories and believed, who saw the lives of others transformed by their encounters with the man who was God, the God who was human. They heard the Good News, the instruction to Love God and love your neighbour as yourself, they heard the hope of forgiveness for messy lives, they heard the evidence of those who were healed. There were many many small encounters, which became stories of turning points in real, messy lives. They were encounters that mattered, that made a difference, when people were accepted by God as they were and emerged transformed.
The Christian church grew slowly, as people talked about their lives and the impact that Jesus had on them. Some of these encounters were first hand, some were about friends of friends or a woman from my village or my Mum's uncle. Those little bits of experience and encounter and transformation started to add up. And they added up because they mattered, they really mattered to the people concerned. If life is changed forever, haw can we not talk about that?
Eventually, as people travelled, the communities started to join up. We probably only have a small fraction of the communication between them – but our Colossians reading tells us a lot about what at least one person thought should be happening and shared in a Christian community. Paul wrote of the characteristics of individuals, (compassion , kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, and above all love). He wrote of how to treat each other (bear with each other, forgive each other, teach one another with wisdom) and what to do together (sing with gratitude). And do it all in the name of Christ .
There are parallel difficulties between the tricky start Moses had in life and the birth of the Christian church. But they are relevant to us today. Each generation is a new Church, each generation needs to share its own stories of encounter with God – some of them inherited and stretching right back to the first articulation of the relationship between human and God, some of them in lives from last month, last week, yesterday, this morning. Each generation needs to reach out to those who have not heard, have not seen, have not understood. Not with browbeating Bible bashing, but with compelling stories of lives transformed – lives of real people, spoken of in ordinary language, speaking into the messy situations of our own generations.
To do this, we have to be properly equipped. We have to be able to identify the points where God has acted in our own lives. We have to be able to speak out loud about what has happened and why it matters. We have to be able to speak confidently, but with sensitivity – remember that compassion, kindness, gentleness. It's easy for some people – or seems so, perhaps. Others of us find it much harder, and have had to practice where it is safe, with those who already know and understand. There is nothing wrong with practice – ask any musician, or linguist or mathematician or carpenter…or any skilled person. There are places to learn here– at Lent group for example, at Informal Worship here on a Wednesday night, in other groups around the Benefice. Come, learn, practise. Give thanks for those who are already engaging in conversations with others – and some of those conversations are very very long.
We must make our church new for our generation, that is our task, and no-one else can do it for us. But we are not alone – not only are there thousands of other churches doing this up and down the country, but we have God caring for us; God who enters into human experience, with all our joys and our sorrows; God who transforms us. May we always speak of God in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Won't be in my church for the sermon today as I'm "on" for one of the children's groups. So I'm glad I've had a chance to read yours. Moses is featuring in my plans today so I'll just borrow those paragraphs from you? Thanks!
I'm feeling especially progressive today.
It is females who bring life into the world, nurture and protect their young.
So I have no problem with thinking that God just might actually be female.
Boy wouldn't that be a shock for some?
2000 years ago, who would have listened to Jesus if he had of been female? He had a tough enough time as a male.
Who would have followed him/her then?
What I believe was taught, was that God is Love, neatly stepping aside of telling a male dominated audience that actually God the Father is God the Mother.
As another non-attender at church today your sermon is much appreciated. Thank you.
Well, things slightly rearranged themselves for me, too! Thanks to your sermon post I was ready for talking over the Moses story with a friend who is an adult with severe learning difficulties over pre-service coffee. In Sunday school I majored on "we can offer comfort to others (ie your mothers when they need a cuddle) through the comfort we receive from God" 2Cor 1 3-7 (children made promise slips offering a cuddle on request to their mother).
Which left me prepared for when comfort was needed by another person later in the day. Howzat! God can be remarkably economical and efficient.

Kevin Feige reveals if the Red Guardian really fought Captain America
MRT· July 21, 2021
Director of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, addresses whether the Guardian Network of David Harbour really fought him Captain America from Chris Evans, as the Russian spy says in the recently released, Black Widow.
Feige used the account of Twitter from Marvel Studios to present a special watch part for their latest release, Black Widow. With one fan asking if Harbor's Red Guardian actually fought Evans's Captain America as he claims throughout the film.
Feige, who revealed how the multiverse works this week, offered a cheeky answer referring to where the last hero was at the time the first one says he fought him. See Feige's answer below:
As much a humorous idea for the Red Guardian to claim that he had fought Cap at some point, Kevin Feige's comments are not at all surprising given that Evans' character was still frozen in ice at the time.
Also, one of those characters confronting Alexei in the Russian prison even explains how the Captain was on the ice at the time he claimed to have fought him, resulting in the super soldier breaking the inmate's arm.
Although it was interesting to see Harbor's character practically pleading with Natasha de Johansson to ensure that she is not lying about the fight, there was really no one but to speak about the fake fight given her close connection to Steve Rogers.
For a devoted MCU fan, the question of whether the Red Guardian actually fought Captain America before Black Widow may be silly, but with much of the former's past still unknown, it's certainly understandable wanting to get that clarification.
For his part, Kevin Feige has already hinted that Marvel Studios has plans for "Black Widow 2", which excites fans of the character of Scarlett Johansson, who had asked for a solo Avenger movie for years.
Kevin Feige joined Marvel Studios in 2000 and was named president of production in 2007. Since then, his films have grossed $ 20 billion thanks to what is known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Surprisingly, Marvel almost lost Kevin Feige for not allowing the inclusion of characters LGBT in his films, which has changed over the years and openly gay superheroes will soon debut in the MCU.

TINYPC up and running. Kudos.
Question / problem(?): I installed Wordpress via the Application Installer for the (single) domain I have set up in an effort to troubleshoot a Wordpress migration problem I was having. I then deleted the generic Wordpress files and debugged my migration install. Everything is functioning properly now, but I am left with error messages in the Application Installer for the domain (Warning: get_headers(http://seniorgeek.net): failed to open stream: operation failed in /opt/tinycp/www/mods/web/applications/inc/WordPress.class.php on line 34). The Wordpress installer icon is still visible, but the Roundcube icon is no longer there. I do not require any of the applications in this instance. Can I remove them? If so, how? If not, how do I correct the errors so that all is reset. Thank you.
If you still have core WordPress files in domain directory - application installer will think, that WordPress is still installed - that's why Roundcube is not visible at this moment.
Warnings will be fixed in v463.
Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, my explanation was not clear. Apologies.
There are Wordpress files present in the /var/www/domain_name directory, but they were installed via a separate process (thus, the error messages). My question is as follows: is it possible to either edit or remove TINYCP Application Installer files so that the built-in Wordpress installer script is removed entirely?
Error messages gone after v463 upgrade. I'll settle for that. Thank you (and kudos again for the best control panel in its category).


How the Santiago Cavaliers spent their first spirit week of the year.
The 2018-2019 school year has just begun, what better to commemorate this than with homecoming. For homecoming, the school holds a dance, a game, a pep-rally, and spirit week. Over the years the past spirit weeks have been chosen by the ASB, this year the weekdays were, Monday: Pajama day, Tuesday: Sports day, Wednesday: Theme day, Thursday: Senior/toddler day, and Friday: Purple/toga day (for seniors). Let's see how the students here at Santiago pulled off their first spirit week of the year.
On Monday students came to school in their PJs, most of them brought their stuffed animals as well as robes and slippers. Pajama day was the easiest day to pull off, often student just wake up and go but some people put lots of effort into their look.
Tuesday students were either representing their favorite sports team or just wearing their school sports jersey. Many students could be seen in their soccer, football, or basketball jerseys. students were proud to wear their jerseys.
Wednesday was theme day, each class had a specific region of the world to dress as. Seniors were Polynesia, juniors were Europe, sophomores were Asia, and Freshmen were Mexico. The most common outfits seen around were huipils (traditional Mexican shirts), ào dàis (traditional Vietnamese dresses), French mimes, and Hawaiian shirts and leis.
On Thursday students were dressed as either senior citizens or toddlers. Underclassmen dressed as senior citizens and the upperclassmen were toddlers. The underclassmen were seen with slippers, canes, and painted gray hair. The upperclassmen were spotted in onesies with pacifiers, and some put their hair in pigtails.
Friday was the most important day, Toga day for seniors and purple day for the rest of the classes. The seniors could be easily spotted in the togas in the sea of purple. There were fancy togas, costume togas, and even DIY blanket togas. The idea of toga day originated from a 1978 movie, in the movie the students wore togas because they wanted to be viewed as intellectuals. The tradition was later adopted here at Santiago, now every year we have our senior toga day. Purple day was also a major success, many students wore their club or elective apparel. It was an easy way for students to display their interests and their hobbies. We say students with their band shirts, choir shirts, and even school spirit shirts.
Overall, this week was great for the students here at Santiago, many of them were able to show their creative side with the fun dress up days. Although homecoming week is over the fun has only just begun, there's many more school events and dress up days to look forward to. Make sure you dress up to show your school spirit in the future.

It was the most bizarre and twisted circus she had ever seen. A Freak Show! There was no other way to describe it.
She watched, mesmerized, as growling noises from human voices emanated from three cages covered by luscious velvet, concealing the wickedness that waited inside.
But she never expected to become the center ring in the titillating circus.
Readers are Raving:
"...a Freak Show. An arousing, emotional freak show, with odd characters that do things that you can only dream of. I couldn't stop reading until I reached the very end."
"Decadent desires abound in this luscious novella!"
"Come in, Carmella," he said, pulling open the door just as the young woman stepped onto the porch.
"Thank you. There are a lot of cars out front."
"Yes, the party is in full swing."
Carmella looked around the old house. It was amazingly modern on the inside, if not a little overdone. It was garish. She noticed that the guests were wearing disguises, though she and Bradford were not. "Is this a masquerade party?"
"Yes, but you are my guest and I decided that the two of us should stand out from the crowd." His eyes grew dark and Carmella felt that she was not to question him further, though she hadn't gotten that impression from him when they talked earlier at the back fence. He seemed different now, territorial.
Her attention quickly turned to the sound of orchestra music playing in the distance. Bradford put his arm around her waist and ushered her into a large room. A number of the guests proceeded up the grand staircase where Carmella assumed they would become part of a more intimate type of party, each couple doing their own thing. But when the antique grandfather clock chimed the top of the hour, the orchestra music abruptly ceased.
The announcers began pushing three cages to the center of the dance floor. Growling noises emanated from behind the luscious velvet coverings draped across these large confinements, concealing their hidden treasures.
Carmella asked, "What happens now?"
Bradford shushed her and told her to wait and watch. The lights dimmed and in the center of the room appeared a masked trumpeter. He stood in the middle of the room and blew his horn, forcing Carmella to hold her hands over her ears.
Everyone in the room was silent as a masked tuxedoed guard entered the room, holding an edict in his gloved hands. He announced loudly, "Hear ye, hear ye, behold the Lord and Lady of the cottage." He turned to Carmella and Bradford. "My Lord, my Lady, welcome to the greatest show on the mountain."
Bradford whispered to Carmella, "He is referring to you and me, my dear. We are Lord and Lady of the cottage."
Carmella nodded. She had assumed as much.
"The evening's entertainment is soon to begin. Frolic, enjoy and hearken yourselves to a night of wanton debauchery." The announcer exited the middle of the room as quietly as he had entered.
The lights dimmed again and when they came back up, three cages stood in the center of the floor. Growling noises emanated from behind the luscious velvet coverings draped across large confinements, concealing the wickedness that waited inside.
With a signal from Bradford, the trumpeter blew his horn again. Off came the drapes with a dazzling flourish, revealing ...

When I reached the European Parliament it was obvious to me that being effective on human rights meant I needed to become really engaged with a small number of countries and issues. I began with Azerbaijan, where human rights defender Leyla Yunus was imprisoned and her life at risk.
Because it has oil the UK has turned a blind eye to Azerbaijan's dreadful human rights record as I pointed out. I was one of the authors of a motion that was passed in September 2014.
The main focus on my human rights effort is focused on Tibet, a country whose culture has suffered terribly at the hands of the occupying Chinese government. I am Vice-President of the Parliament's Tibet Interest Group and recently I was the author of a resolution criticising China for its destruction of the Larung Gar Buddhist monastery.
I've also defended the human rights of indigenous people and environmental activists in Central America and Brazil. I was one of the proposers of a resolution to protect the rights of the Guarani-Kaiowa people who live on the Brazil-Paraguay border.
