Yvette Cooper speech in full
Yvette Cooper, shadow home secretary, on police privatisation and financial crime
Wednesday, 3 October 2012 9:54 AM
Conference. Here in Manchester this morning family, friends and colleagues are gathering for the funeral of PC Nicola Hughes. Tomorrow the city will do the same for PC Fiona Bone.
They answered a 999 call. As police officers do every single day of the week, not knowing what they will find.
That's their job. And their families have said it was a job they loved.

Unite: Police Privatisation 999
They were shot down in a brutal act. They showed bravery they and other emergency services take for granted, but that we never must.
From across the country 5,000 officers volunteered to come to Manchester today on their rest days to provide cover and join in policing in the city.
And today police officers from Cheshire, Lancashire, Merseyside, from Wiltshire, Bedfordshire, Humberside, police officers from every one of the 43 forces in the country will be on duty here in central Manchester showing their support.
The police have gathered from across the country, and so today have we. So we join them, the people of Manchester, the Prime Minister, the Home Secretary and the country in paying tribute to those brave officers and to all our emergency services, as we bid those officers farewell.
Conference, we are all very proud to be back in the city of Manchester.
Down the road from here in Piccadilly Gardens stands a statue.
Sir Robert Peel, son of Bury, founder of the British police over 180 years ago.
Peel established powerful principles. Ed, you could call them One Nation principles – just a few decades earlier than Disraeli's Free Trade Hall speech.
He said, "The police are the public, the public are the police."
Able to uphold our laws not because of coercion but because of consent.
British police are not guards they are guardians.
Unlike so many foreign forces they are unarmed – and like British police officers themselves we are proud of that tradition.
And Conference, yesterday as we heard that same one nation tradition is part of Labour's vision today – in that brilliant and inspiring speech by our party leader and our next Prime Minister, Ed Miliband.
Because it's not just about policing. Be it crime fighting, prevention or immigration we believe in active public services working with active communities:
- to keep people safe;
- stand up for victims;
- keep our borders secure;
- and to build a sense of public respect and solidarity.
That's why our party worked so hard to help cut crime by 40 per cent when we were in Government.
Why we brought in neighbourhood policing to put police back on the streets.
Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime.
And that's why our party believes in working with the police, not undermining the police.
So to the officers who cancelled their summer holidays last year to reclaim our city streets from the riots, and this year so the rest of us could celebrate a fantastic and safe Olympic Games, Conference, we say thank you.
And to the staff of G4S who have been professional and helpful at Conference entrance, it is not your fault that the company's senior managers let everyone down, and we say thank you.
Conference, we all enjoyed those brilliant pictures of the police during the Olympics:
- touring with torch;
- laughing with the crowds;
- doing the Mobot.
The police really are the public, the public are the police.
And to all those troops and officers who stepped in at the last minute without complaint when G4S management let the country down, we say thank you for saving our Games.
Because we know that's what good public servants do.
Maybe that's what really happened with Tory Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell.
We said the police were public servants. He thought we just meant they were his servants.
When they asked him to use the side gate he thought they were saying he should use the tradesman's entrance.
Let me tell you what Tory Mayor of London Boris Johnson said in this very Conference Hall just 12 months ago. He said: "if people swear at the police, they must expect to be arrested."
Except – it seems – in Downing Street.
It really comes to something when the Prime Minister and the Government Chief Whip end up being reprimanded for their lack of respect by a fellow member of the Bullingdon Club.
It tells you a lot about this Government's attitude to the police and to the public.
In Newcastle last week I met residents who are frustrated by repeated problems with antisocial behaviour on the estate.
One woman said to me, "Some of the kids round here just aren't taught enough respect for the police,"
Then she paused and added, "mind it doesn't help if Ministers are calling them names too."
She has a point.
I talked to a party member last night who told me she was arrested and fined as a teenager because she swore at the police.
We expect teenagers to show respect for the police. We expect drivers in traffic to show respect for the police.
It's just not what David Cameron expects from his Cabinet.
Because this is about David Cameron, not just Andrew Mitchell.
He chose to back him not sack him.
Just like the tax breaks for millionaires.
Once again it's one rule for the Cabinet, another for the plebs.
So out of touch they aren't fit to govern.
So come on Conference, let's bring on the plebiscite.
Plebs of the world unite, we have nothing to lose but this Government.
Look at the damage the Government is doing now to our police and the vital work they do.
8,000 officers gone already.
15,000 expected to go.
That's the equivalent of every officer in Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Cheshire put together.
Or every officer in the entire South East region.
Thousands of PCSOs and support staff are going too. Even though they help keep officers out on the streets.
Of course the police should make savings.
We backed cuts of £1 billion over a Parliament. Work by the Inspectorate and others shows that could have kept the frontline safe. But this Government has cut £2 billion.
999 units, neighbourhood teams and traffic cops hardest hit – the very officers we rely on when emergency strikes. And it matters.
A Midlands police officer told me it took 45 minutes to get an officer to a 999 call about a hit and run against a child.
A South West officer told me a woman calling 999 in fear of domestic violence was twice told no officer could attend. Only when she called back the third time – by then having been assaulted – was the response car sent.
And all this from a Prime Minister who promised no cuts to the police frontline.
A Deputy Prime Minister who promised 3,000 more police.
Yet another disgraceful broken promise.
Perhaps for their next You Tube outing David Cameron and Nick Clegg should sing a duet
In six weeks' time the country has the chance to vote on policing.
We didn't support the introduction of Police & Crime Commissioners. We wanted more checks and balances. We're clear more reforms will be needed.
But policing is too important to turn our backs on these elections now.
You've seen our talented candidates – experienced in policing, criminal justice, counter terror, community work.
Here in Manchester, the much respected Tony Lloyd. You've heard today from the brilliant Jane Kennedy and Jane Basham and the unstoppable campaign phenomenon that is our own John Prescott.
We don't want Tory cheerleaders for cuts decimating our police, we want Labour campaigners who will stand up for their communities.
So let's send the Government a clear message on November 15th: you don't cut crime by cutting frontline police.
And as for expecting people to go out to vote on a dark night in November…
It's a shabby coalition deal.
Pushing the cost up. Pushing the votes down. Making a mockery of democracy.
Conference let us pledge today that we will campaign hard across the country, but nowhere harder than to back Olly Martins in Bedfordshire against the EDL.
Because we should never, never let extremists and racists ever take charge of our police.
But conference it is because we value the work police do that we support reform:
- to keep up with modern technology;
- to adopt new professional methods and ideas.
That is why we launched an independent commission led by Lord John Stevens, former Commissioner of the Met to report next year with a new vision for 21st century policing.
We want the police to do more to reflect the public – including recruiting more black and minority ethnic officers too.
And we also want stronger action when policing goes wrong.
The public need to see that poor policing is dealt with to maintain confidence and consent for the vital work the police do.
Police officers need to know serious problems will be rooted out so they don't cast a shadow over everyone else.
Policing in a democracy needs proper checks and balances.
Yet the system takes too long and the powers often aren't strong enough.
It took too long to get a new hacking investigation underway.
It took too long for the truth to come out about what happened to Ian Tomlinson during the G20 protest.
And it took far, far, far too long for the truth to come out about the tragedy and senior police cover up at Hillsborough. Liverpool needs justice. But we also need to make sure no one ever, ever again has to fight for the truth for 23 years after losing a loved one or child.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission wasn't able to sort out any of those cases. The authoritative new Chair Anne Owers has warned about "its lack of powers".
We need reform. After discussion with Lord Stevens, I believe we need a new stronger Police Standards Authority – replacing the IPCC -- to raise standards, pursue powerful investigations and ensure there are proper safeguards in place.
But Tory reforms won't improve policing, cut crime or help communities. Quite the opposite.
Ministers are pushing for big private contracts to replace the work police do. Nothing ruled out. Not even detective work or neighbourhood patrols.
Forces pushed to sign massive contracts with a single company.
Has this Government learned nothing from the Olympics?
Public private partnerships can be valuable – new contracts will be needed for example on information technology.
But contracts must pass tough tests:
- on value for money;
- on resilience and security;
- on transparency and accountability;
- and most of all on public trust.
And for the Labour Party, and for people across the country, there are red lines – or perhaps we should say blue lines.
Policing by consent means the police need the confidence of the public.
And the public need to trust that policing is being done in the interests of the justice not the corporate balance sheet.
And let's be blunt about this. We don't want private companies patrolling the public streets of Britain, we want police officers and PCSOs doing the job.
Cuts and privatisation, chaos and confusion. That is Tory reform.
A careless attitude not just to the public services that keep us safe but to the public services that keep our borders secure
5,000 borders staff cut.
Border security checks downgraded last summer. Hours of border queues last spring.
Fewer foreign criminals deported.
More illegal migrants absconding at the border.
Abu Qatada nearly released because Theresa May got the date wrong.
Turning the borders force into a borders farce.
And David Cameron is breaking his promise on immigration, failing badly on his target, public confidence is falling, and Universities and international businesses are still being hit.
The worst of all worlds.
Conference, we got things wrong on immigration – we should have restricted Eastern European migration and acted earlier to cut low skilled migration.
We know that while there were economic benefits, those on lowest incomes often lost out.
We still need to listen and learn.
We will always provide refuge for people who are fleeing persecution.
And we know the value to our culture, economy and communities from people who have come from across the world to help build our country.
But more needs to be done to deal with exploitation, housing pressures and the concerns communities have.
Now that global travel and trade is greater than ever before, Britain does need stronger controls and limits to make the system fair.
But for public confidence those rules need to be enforced. The Government is doing the opposite. We need much stronger action on illegal immigration and on things like the minimum wage. It isn't fair on everyone else if people are getting round the rules.
And we have to be tough on cross border crime too.
When a teacher runs off with a 15-year-old girl to France we have to be able to catch them and bring them back to Britain.
When Hussain Osman fled to Italy in July 2005 after trying to blow up the tube at Shepherds Bush, it was our right to bring him back to Britain to stand trial and go to prison for his crime.
600 suspected criminals have been brought back to face British justice thanks to the European Arrest Warrant.
Yet David Cameron and the Tory right want to rip it up just because it has the word Europe in the title.
That's not putting victims first.
That's not justice.
That's pandering to Tory backbenchers.
It's weak politics. And let's be blunt, it is weak on crime.
We should never allow dangerous criminals to run abroad and hide from British justice.
But that's the shocking thing about this Government.
They won't put victims first.
Taking 17,000 rape suspects off the DNA database
Abolishing ASBOs so that repeat antisocial behaviour is no longer a criminal offence
They don't seem to understand the damage crime does to families and communities.
Because they don't believe in using the power of government or the strength of communities to cut crime or keep people safe.
So let me tell you three things I think we should do right now to fight crime.
People are fed up with the fact that some criminals seem to be untouchable, making millions on the drugs, trafficking or the security rackets that ruin young lives.
Even if they go to prison, when they come out they get back into their flash cars and drive home to big houses. Money they've got through crime, extortion, violence.
We're only getting back an estimated five per cent of the illegal cash. Criminals have found ways round the laws we introduced. So it's time to choke off the legal loopholes and choke off organised crime.
Second we need stronger action on economic crime.
Look at the LIBOR scandal that emerged this summer. It is a multibillion pound fraud. People were fiddling the figures to get rich, while small businesses paid the price. Yet no one has been arrested.
In the US they have seen 800 prosecutions for serious fraud since last year. Yet as Emily Thornberry has pointed out, here in the UK where the Serious Fraud Office budget has been cut by 25 per cent, they have pursued only 20.
If you don't pay your TV licence you'll end up in court.
But defraud millions of pensioners or small businesses and you can get off scot free.
We need an end to the double standards. New action and new laws. People need to be able to invest with confidence knowing everyone is playing by the same fair rules.
Third we need new action and standards to cut domestic and sexual violence.
Labour did much in government – specialist officers, courts and support.
But two women are still killed every week by a partner. Only six per cent of rape cases ever reach conviction.
We have to do more to help and protect women like the mother I spoke to last month who locked herself and her children into her bedroom every night for months for fear of what her husband would do.
In Rochdale, vulnerable girls aged 12 to 18 were ignored and described as prostitutes by the authorities who were supposed to protect them.
I feel very strongly that more action is needed fast. We need proper minimum standards, backed by a new Domestic and Sexual Violence Board starting with rapid action to protect vulnerable children and young people.
Conference, this Government is weak on policing and weak on crime. And I'm not sure they even understand the words "Tough on the Causes of Crime."
CCTV restricted.
Youth services decimated.
Action on gangs cut back – when they promised after the riots it would increase.
Police officers taken out of communities.
Long term unemployment going up and up.
Communities under stress.
And if the Government really wanted to do more to prevent violence in relationships among the next generation they could act.
We should have the statutory sex and relationship education in schools that the Tories shamefully blocked before the election. For boys and for girls. Including zero tolerance of violence in relationships.
The Tories and Liberal Democrats are failing to act.
Failing to set out plans to cut crime, help victims or to back our police.
Failing because in the end they don't believe in the power of public service or the strength of society.
And they just don't value the public servants we need to keep us safe.
Whatever happened to the party of Peel?
People used to think the Tories backed the police and supported law and order.
Weak on crime, weak on the causes of crime – that is David Cameron's Conservative Party.
Cutting the police.
Undermining communities.
Swearing at officers.
Turning their backs on victims.
Conference it is the Labour Party that is now the party for policing.
Labour the party for law and order.
Labour the One Nation Party.
And Conference unlike the Tories, we won't let our communities down.

Rafa Benitez says 'stats mean nothing' and hits back at critics after Newcastle's tactical approach was questioned following Chelsea defeat
Newcastle were beaten 2-1 in the Premier League by Chelsea at St James' Park
Manager Rafa Benitez set his side up to sit deep and work on the counter
Benitez says he can only work with the players he has got at his disposal
By Craig Hope for the Daily Mail
Published: 17:30 EDT, 26 August 2018 | Updated: 17:30 EDT, 26 August 2018
Rafa Benitez, the Newcastle manager, defended the tactics which led to a fallout with captain Jamaal Lascelles and were the subject of stinging criticism following the 2-1 defeat at home to Chelsea.
Sportsmail revealed before Sunday's game that Lascelles had been dropped after questioning the manager's decision to play with three centre backs.
The skipper wanted to be used in the middle of the three-man back line but, when posted on the right-hand side in training last week, voiced concerns and was left out of the team.
Rafa Benitez hit back at critics who questioned his tactical approach against Chelsea
Newcastle 1-2 Chelsea: DeAndre Yedlin's own goal makes it... 'I would rather have been beaten 3-0 having a go than losing... It is nonsense to say Newcastle fans would rather lose 5-4... Jorginho outpasses the opposition, NBA star visits St James'...
Benitez stuck to his plan — using a 5-4-1 formation against the Blues — and his side showed little attacking intent during the first half.
Sportsmail columnist Jamie Redknapp, speaking on Sky Sports, said: 'I don't buy into those tactics. If you're going to the Etihad, against the champions, by all means, but not at home.
'The possession stats are embarrassing. If you're a Newcastle player in that dressing room, you're embarrassed. Because you know you can play more.'
Sportsmail columnist Jamie Redknapp said Newcastle's 'possession stats are embarrassing'
Benitez hit back, saying: 'You have to drive the car you have. When I was with Liverpool we beat Real Madrid 4-0 at home, we were offensive, when I was at Napoli I was offensive, attacking all the time. I would like to play with five strikers if I could.
'When I am at Newcastle United I have to manage, I have what I have.'
Chelsea, whose winner came in the 87th minute when DeAndre Yedlin put through his own goal, had 81 per cent possession despite being the away team.
Benitez countered: 'A long time ago, Barcelona had 80 per cent against 20 per cent against Celtic and they lost the game, the stats are just for the TV.
'Saturday, at Wolves, Man City had 71 per cent possession and didn't win. You have to do what you have to do, and we were nearly there, very close. I don't remember Chelsea making too many chances in the second half.'
DeAndre Yedlin's own goal in the 87th minute led to Newcastle's 2-1 defeat by Chelsea
Chelsea coach Maurizio Sarri said: 'We knew it would be difficult — Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal lost here last season. It is not easy.
'But in Italy I have never seen Rafa play with five defenders, it was so compact. So it was difficult. We needed to move the ball very fast and be patient.'
The win puts Chelsea level on maximum points with Watford and Liverpool at the top of the Premier League, but Sarri added: 'It means nothing. The honour is on 38 games, not three. It's important to start well. But now, the table is not important.'
Meanwhile, Benitez claimed Lascelles was missing because of an ankle injury but did not deny a fall-out.
'If players have different opinions then we have to speak about it, that's it, and then we stick to the plan.'

Billabong says still in talks with takeover suitors
Billabong has received offers from a consortium comprised of private equity firm Altamont Capital Partners and U.S. clothing group VF Corp and another group led by Billabong's former U.S. boss Paul Naude and private equity firm Sycamore Partners.
The two competing groups had made indicative matching offers of A$1.10 a share, valuing the company at A$527 million ($549 million), but analysts expect the final bids - which were due in last week - to be around A$0.80-90. That would be slightly above Billabong's close on Thursday of A$0.73.
The stock, which has lost around two-thirds of its value in the past year, sank to an all-time low of A$0.63 last month.
VF Corp, which owns brands including The North Face and Vans, only wants the Billabong namesake brand and plans to give Altamont the rest of the portfolio, which includes Von Zipper and Element.
Billabong said on Tuesday that "discussions in relation to these proposals remain incomplete." It requested a trading halt until Thursday, or until it is ready to make an announcement if earlier.
Since the two groups made their initial offers, Billabong has posted a first-half net loss of A$536.6 million and lowered its full-year guidance, citing difficult trading conditions in Europe and a disappointing performance from its Nixon watch brand.
The VF Corp and Naude offers are the fourth and fifth takeover approaches for the Australian company since February 2012.
Billabong had a tumultuous 2012, alienating investors after rejecting a A$3.30 per share bid by TPG Capital that February as too low. Subsequent offers of A$1.45 from TPG and Bain Capital were withdrawn after due diligence.
Billabong, which sponsors current world surfing champion Joel Parkinson, has sold off key assets and replaced its chief executive in the past year as a result of profit downgrades. It raised A$225 million in a deeply discounted rights issue to cut its debt, which currently totals about A$286 million.


Switching from a variety of antiretroviral regimens to Merck's newly approved Delstrigo (doravirine/lamivudine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) is safe and effective at treating HIV, aidsmap reports.
Presenting their findings at the IDWeek conference in San Francisco, researchers from the open-label, active-controlled noninferiority Phase III DRIVE-SHIFT trial enrolled 670 people with HIV who had a fully suppressed viral load for at least six months. The participants were taking two nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) plus a Norvir (ritonavir)- or Tybost (cobicistat)-boosted protease inhibitor, Vitekta (elvitegravir), or a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI).
The participants had no history of virologic failure on any HIV regimen and had virus that was not resistant to any of the three drugs in Delstrigo.
The participants were randomized two to one to switch from their current HIV regimen to taking Delstrigo (447 people were in this immediate-start group) or to switch to Delstrigo after 24 weeks (223 were in the delayed-start group).
A total of 84.5 percent of the participants were male; 76.4 percent were white. The average age was 43 years old.
At week 24 of the study, 93.7 percent (419 of 447) of those in the immediate-start group and 94.6 percent (211 of 223) of those in the delayed-start group had a fully suppressed viral load. At this time, 1.8 percent of each group had a viral load of at least 50.
At week 48 of the study, 90.8 percent (406 of 447) of those in the immediate start group had a fully suppressed viral load. (In their analysis, the study authors also compared this rate with the viral suppression rate of 94.6 percent of those in the delayed start group at the 24-week mark.) At the 48-week mark, 1.6 percent of those in the immediate start group had a viral load of 50 or greater.
Among those who started the trial taking boosted Vitekta, the average changes in LDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol at week 24 were significantly lower in the immediate-start group compared with the delayed-start group.
At the 24-week mark, rates of any adverse health event and drug-related adverse health events were higher in the immediate- versus the delayed-start group. Among those in the immediate-start group who experienced any adverse health events, these events were mild for 64 percent of these participants and were mild for 80 percent of those who experienced drug-related adverse health events.
The study authors concluded that Delstrigo was noninferior to, or as effective as, the comparison regimens and also demonstrated acceptable safety compared with continuing on the other regimens.
Editor's note: A previous version of this article mistakenly called this study DRIVE-AHEAD rather than DRIVE-SHIFT, and also mistakenly referred to a previous conference reporting of DRIVE-SHIFT; the conference to which the previous version of the article referred was actually DRIVE-AHEAD.

> Tzohar to Register Marriages?
Tzohar to Register Marriages?
The Tzohar Rabbis' group is initiating an independent marriage registration system, like the hareidi one.
Gil Ronen
Wedding Israel news photo: file
The Tzohar Rabbis organization, which provides rabbinical services from Zionist rabbis, seeks to establish its own independent system for registration of marriages, along the same framework as the one maintained by the hareidi-religious "Badatz" courts [Badatz is the Hebrew acronym for Court of Justice – ed.].
Rabbi David Stav of the Tzohar Rabbis leadership told Arutz Sheva of the new initiative. "Today, formally, it is the local rabbinates that are authorized to register marriages, in the marriage departments. However, you never actually see hareidi-religious Jews going there to register for marriage, because the hareidi Jews can register for marriage at the various Badatz courts, which have deals with local rabbinates that allow them to register marriages and later pass on the paperwork to the rabbinate."
Many people prefer to register with the Badatz courts because the bureaucracy there is not as bad, he explained. "Zionist-religious and even secular couples go to those Badatz courts because there is not a long line there, you don't need to go back several times to complete the paperwork, and you do not need to bring witnesses to testify that you are single. Also, there are many who want a specific rabbi to perform the ceremony although the rabbinate does not approve that rabbi, while the Badatz courts have no supervision and they let almost anyone marry couples."
He called upon the Chief Rabbinate to allow Tzohar into the system as well. "We ask the Rabbinate – just as you recognized the Badatz marriage registrants, we too are worthy of doing it. As of today there is no legal body known as the Tzohar Rabbis but actually, we are already carrying out marriages according to the rabbinate's criteria, and we already teach brides in preparation for their weddings. But we do not have the authority to complete the bureaucratic process."

Yay, I think I understand.
Labeling can only navigate the symbol space at the base of the current namespace. Although, the dot notation allows the creation of a symbolic hierarchy it doesn't change the symbolic base.
Additionally, when entering a namespace we don't know what the last base label was.
I'm sure I'll be back to read this again.
I'm testing a modification to make this even more compatible with fasm 1. The fasmg engine allows the "last label" to be from a different namespace than the current one, so I could probably force this to use any label that was not started with a dot, regardless of the namespace where its final symbol resides.
The way initially I designed it for fasmg seemed simple and clear from theoretical point of view, but the parts where it differs from fasm 1 are not very usable in practice. So making it backwards-compatible might be a better choice, even if a little bit more clunky in internal implementation.
I'm releasing it, it seems to work well. Is it very likely that the parts of fasmg's specification that were so non-intuitive in practical use have never been actually used by anyone, so this change may in fact not break anything. But please let me know if you find anything that stopped working because of this change.
This allows to use NAMESPACE block to insert any code without disturbing the flow of labels in the surrounding source.
Hmm. That looks weird to me. Those double dots!
This change seems to be for the better. Will try to keep this in mind.
The "#" character has been inserted into the last identifier for a better readability, but the plain sequence of three dots would do the same.
It looked like an empty namespace.
When an identifier starts with a dot, but there is no label that would be a parent for it, the identifier refers to the descendant of a special symbol that resides in the current namespace but has no name.
Both interpretations conclude the same.
By making it possible to have a current base label that is not from current namespace, this new system allows for some pretty interesting tricks. I'm not going to encourage them, though - because mixing the two systems too much would be most likely not a good habit, considering clarity of the source text.

Clear quartz is composed of silicon and oxygen, Silicon Dioxide and is one of the most abundant minerals on earth. Quartz crystal is composed of structured atoms that vibrate at a stable frequency, which makes it an excellent receptor and transmitter of electromagnetic waves.
When connected to electricity, quartz vibrates creating an electrical charge, a property that was critical to the development of marine instruments, clocks, watches, radios, and computer chips. The conversion of quartz into silicon chips revolutionized computer technology and made the digital age possible. Just like a computer, the silicon dioxide structure of quartz makes it programmable and allows for the storage of vast amounts of information. Crystals may facilitate the manifestation of thoughts and intention by amplifying and transmitting energy. Since ancient time, Quartz has been used as a source of power and energy to enhance meditation and promote healing.

Emirates NBD Looks Beyond Gulf For Growth
Dubai's largest bank is targeting international revenues of around 20 per cent of its total by 2017.
Emirates NBD, Dubai's largest bank, is looking for acquisitions in fast-developing African markets to satisfy investor demand for growth it is unlikely to deliver at home.
The Dubai-based bank is targeting international revenues of around 15-20 per cent of its total in five years' time, up from 5 per cent at present, its chief executive Rick Pudner said in an interview at the Reuters Middle East Investment Summit.
Acquisitions are likely to play a role in this, given the difficulties of achieving organic growth in the current economic environment, Pudner said, marking a significant shift from the bank's previous strategy of building the business organically.
"If you can find something that isn't betting the bank on but is a good opportunity to take advantage of weaker asset prices in the region, then you need to look at it," Pudner said, confirming the bank was looking at a couple of potential buys, including in Africa.
Emirates NBD, which was formed by the 2007 merger of Emirates Bank and National Bank of Dubai, has enough cash to acquire the type of asset it is looking at without seeking outside finance, added the former HSBC executive, who has spent much of the last 30 years working in the Gulf region.
While Pudner would not comment on a Reuters report that the bank was looking to acquire the Egyptian assets of BNP Paribas, he said the North African country was an attractive market for the bank.
"It's not, per capita, the most wealthy country in the region but it's got the potential," he said.
"Demographics are key and it's a big population and an under-banked population. If you look at the next 10, 20, 30 years in terms of the development of that kind of economy, it has to be long-term positive."
Egypt has been attracting the attention of a number of Gulf banks recently. As well as BNP's unit being up for sale, Qatar National Bank is close to buying a majority stake in Societe Generale's Egyptian business.
While ENBD was looking at opening in a couple of strategic locations in Asia, it was unlikely to expand its operations there in the near term, instead focusing its attention on a Middle East arc stretching from Turkey to India.
"Historically, we've been interested in Turkey but there's nothing specific at the moment," Pudner said.
Global uncertainty has hit the confidence of businesses to invest around the world and in the United Arab Emirates, which was feeding through into lower loan growth and, therefore, constrained earnings potential, he added.
Latest figures from the UAE central bank show lending across the country's banking system grew just 3 per cent in the first nine months of the year, and ENBD warned last month that loan growth would be modest into 2013.
"From ENBD's perspective, this is the most liquid we have ever been but that's not because we are being conservative in our approach to supporting the economy – it's just finding opportunities to lend money," Pudner said.
ENBD, 56 per cent-owned by state fund Investment Corp of Dubai, has seen earnings heavily hit in recent quarters by its exposure to indebted Dubai state-owned entities – the most famous being Dubai World, which shook global markets in 2009 when it asked creditors to restructure $25 billion of debt.
The third largest bank by assets in the Gulf, which has an 18 per cent market share in the UAE, according to Pudner, booked nearly Dhs5 billion ($1.36 billion) of impairments in 2011 and has provisioned Dhs3 billion in the first nine months of this year.
Provisioning, as well as non-performing loans, was expected to peak in 2013, Pudner said, adding that most of Dubai's debt problems were now known and being handled.
Exposure to the Dubai sovereign and state-owned entities has been in focus in recent months as part of a move by the UAE central bank to introduce limits on such lending – regulation which a number of banks, including ENBD, were not in compliance with at the September 30 deadline.
Pudner said negotiations with the central bank on how ENBD would comply with the new rules were still underway, but he hoped they would be concluded "within the next few weeks".
"We've got a plan but it's a question of agreeing that with the central bank," he said.
Pudner said that while he was not surprised by the content of the rules, he had not expected the tight deadline that banks were given to comply. A circular from the regulator was issued in April, giving banks around six months to address the issue.

Rhinomed finalising nasal cannabis deal with US developer; expands global distribution network
Imelda Cotton
Rhinomed expects its agreement with Columbia Care to be finalised later this month.
Australian medical technology company Rhinomed (ASX: RNO) is scheduled to finalise a licensing deal this month with United States-based Columbia Care to develop commercial solutions for nasally-delivered medical cannabis and cannabinoid compounds, analogues and derivatives.
A non-binding term sheet signed in June outlined proposed terms for the licensing of Rhinomed's patented nasal technology platform which will enable Columbia and Rhinomed to jointly develop a range of unique cannabinoid products targeting a wide range of significant and unmet clinical and consumer health needs in the US.
Rhinomed has advised that while negotiations are "substantially complete", the signing of the agreement is likely to be before month end.
The deal will leverage Rhinomed's nasal platform with development taking place at Columbia's US research and manufacturing facilities.
According to Rhinomed chief executive officer Michael Johnson, joining forces with Columbia will enable both companies to establish a leadership position in the largest market in the world.
"Partnering with Columbia Care [allows us] to bring a revolutionary range of nasally-administered, dose-controlled, cannabis-based formats to the US market," he said.
"By offering consumers and clinicians access to range of products that solve specific unmet clinical needs, we believe we can modernise this market in a new and radical way."
Columbia Care is the biggest provider of cannabis-based products and services in the US, which is currently the world's largest medical marijuana and medical device market.
With licenses in 12 densely-populated US states and territories, Columbia Care is positioned to offer its pharmaceutical-quality medicines to more than half the nation's population over the next two years.
Nasal respiratory success
Rhinomed has reported early US success with its Mute nasal respiratory spray which has been found to reduce the volume and frequency of snoring in 75% of users.
Despite only entering the market through 4300 Walgreen's stores in October, Mute recorded 299% growth for the 2018 financial year, and was named the fastest growing product in the 'Nasal Strip' category in US Over the Counter sales data figures.
"We achieved this despite the other top five products in the category having greater store distribution, appearing across multiple retailer brands and significantly outspending Mute from an advertising and marketing perspective," said Mr Johnson.
"This result [proves] we are well placed to grow our franchise in the sleep and snoring market and also bring further innovation to market in due course."
US nasal strip sales reached US$115 million during the period, generated from over 80,000 retail outlets.
Rhinomed also announced today an expansion of its global distribution network for Mute which will see it add 360 pharmacies and grocery stores across the US and Canada to its books, including London Drugs, Fred Meyer and the nationwide chain Bed, Bath and Beyond.
The company has also signed with WH Smith in the United Kingdom to stock Mute at its airport-based stores.
Although initial product orders have been received, revenues from the new distribution channels are not expected to impact Rhinomed's business until March 2019 at the earliest.
Rhinomed said it is on track to be in over 11,000 stores globally toward the end of October.
Sleep trends
According to the US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, insufficient sleep is now a public health epidemic with 30% of adults getting less than the recommended six hours a night and many of those requiring assistance to get there.
Research shows the snoring and sleep-aid market is forecast to grow to approximately US$10 billion by 2020 at a compound annual growth rate of 6.4% from 2016 to 2020.
Rhinomed developed Mute as an over-the-counter product to promote good sleep by supporting nasal breathing.
It enables snorers or those with nasal obstruction and congestion to breathe more freely through their nose and help keep their mouth closed during sleep.
Mute is designed to fit the natural anatomy of the nose and can be adjusted on both sides to control the level of dilation and airflow.
At midday trade, shares in Rhinomed were 6.52% higher at $0.245.

A massive fire consumed Notre-Dame Cathedral Monday, destroying the roof of the historic Paris landmark in a roaring blaze as firefighters battled to prevent one of the main bell towers from collapsing.
"We're not certain yet that we'll be able to stop the fire from spreading to the northern belfry," a firefighting official told reporters.
"Basically the whole rooftop is gone. I see no hope for the building," said witness Jacek Poltorak, watching the fire from a fifth-floor balcony two blocks from the southern facade of the cathedral, one of France's most visited sites.
Nobody was injured, junior interior minister Laurent Nunez said at the scene, adding: "It's too early to determine the causes of the fire."
The cathedral, which dates back to the 12th century, features in Victor Hugo's classic novel "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame". It is a UNESCO World Heritage site that attracts millions of tourists every year.
"I've visited it so many times, but it will never be the same. It's a real symbol of Paris."
"Notre-Dame belonged to all humanity. What a tragic spectacle," tweeted Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Union's executive Commission.
"What horror. I share the French nation's sadness."

I. Corrinth. Chap. VII Ver. 21
Art thou called being a servant? Care not for it; but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
At first glance, it is certain, this text refers to a state of personal servitude, and extends to every instance of the same kind. It is also as clear that he Apostle exhorts the servant to prefer liberty. This proves that the inspired writer himself, preferred liberty to a state of servitude; for he would not exhort another to prefer what was not preferable in his own esteem. Now, if Paul esteemed personal liberty a valuable inheritance, he certainly esteemed the liberty of a community a far ricer inheritance; for if one man's enjoyment of it was a good, the enjoyment of two must be a greater good, and so on through the whole community. From the same manner of reasoning, the slavery of a community appears to be a proportionably greater evil than the slavery of a community appears to be a propotionably greater evil than the slavery of an individual. Hence, we may observe from the text, that civil liberty is a great good.
This is the proposition to which I ask your present hour;s attention, and if it should appear in the sequel to contain an important truth, you will not esteem it below the gospel preacher's duty to explain and support it in public, especially at such a time as this, a time, at the very prospect of which, our generous forefathers would have wept in bitterness of soul. If civil liberty is a great good, it ought to be deemed one of the blessings of Heaven; these it is the preacher's duty to illustrate, that we may feel the obligations they bring us under — that we may enquire whether we have improved them for the glory of the giver, and that we my know how to conduct toward them for the future. Be pleased then to give your candid, close, and serious attention, while I endeavor to explain the nature of civil liberty and prove that is a great good.
As it is much less difficult to point out the nature of true coin in general, than to determine whether any particular piece is genuine, or how far it differs from the perfect standard: so it is much easier to point out the general nature of civil liberty, than to say what degree of it enters into any particular civil constitution. It is therefore most natural to enquire, in the first place, concerning the general nature of liberty; and indeed it is as necessary as natural. For nil we determine this question we have no rule by which we may estimate the quantity of liberty in any particular constitution: But when once we have found the standard, we shall be prepared to examine our own constitution, or any other, at pleasure, and to determine what part of the constitution should be supported, and what may be give up with safety. An enquiry into the nature of liberty in general, is also needful on another account. Without it we cannot see the force of any evidence that may be brought to evince the value of liberty itself.
That subject may be fairly elucidated, I will endeavor to remove some mistakes by which it has been obscured. In doing this, I observe that liberty does not consist in persons thinking themselves free. The Jews could say we were never in bondage to any man though they wore the Roman yoke at the very same time. Again, though a certain constitution should be contended for and supported by a majority of voices; yet this would be no sure evidence that it is free: because a hundred may as truly tyrannize over one, as one over a hundred; or otherwise, the majority may be in favor of licentiousness. What but love of licentiousness of tyranny, or both can induce the heathen nations to approve of their several systems of government? What but these could induce Saul and the men of Israel to persecute David and his handful? What but one or both of these drew down the fury of Sodom on Lot — of the Jews on the prophets — on Jesus Christ — on his apostles and their followers. What but these ever raised any one of the many terrible persecutions under which the peaceable disciples of Jesus Christ have fallen from time to time? In all these instances the majority have been unfriendly to liberty.
Civil liberty consists, not in any inclinations of the members of a community; but in the being and due administration of such a system of laws, as effectually tends to the greatest felicity of state. Herein consists of civil liberty, and to live under such a constitution, so administered, is to be the member of a free state; and he who is free from the censure of those laws, may full enjoy all the pleasures of civil liberty, unless he is prevented by some defect, not in the constitution, but in himself.
If liberty consists in the being and administration of a civil constitution, different from such as one as has been mentioned, I must confess, my inference from the Apostle's exhortation is not just. For certain it is, that so far as a constitution doth not tend, in the highest degree, to the greatest felicity of the state, collectively considered; it is a comparative evil and not a good.
Where there is no system of laws, not liberty, but anarchy, takes place. Some degree of liberty may, indeed, exist where neither the constitution nor the administration of it is perfect. But in order to perfect freedom, the law must extend to every member of the community alike, both in its requisitions and prohibitions. Every one must be required to do all he can that tends to the highest good of the state: For the whole of this is due to the states, from the individuals of which it is composed. Every thing, however trifling, that tends, even in the lowest degree, to disserve the interest of the state must also be forbidden.
Originally, there were no private interests. The world and all things in it, were the common interests of all the inhabitants, under God the great owner. Nothing is to be esteemed an interest any farther than it tends to good or is capable of being turned to the benefit of the possessor. But whatever has this tendency, or may be thus used, is properly termed an interest. According to this estimate, the term interest includes all those various offices and employments that are capable of being improved for the good of the community. There interests, being such as cannot be managed by the whole body collectively, are distributed among the individuals according as they appear in the eyes of the body politic, to be qualified to use them for the good of the whole. In this way every member becomes a servant to the state, and is a good or bad servant according to the manner in which he discharges the trust reposed in him. This is equally true of the King on the throne and the peasant in the field. The laws of a fee state require each individual to use the public interests deposited in his hands, in every instance in that very manner that shall contribute more to the good of the community, without any particular reference to the Governor or subject, rich or poor, high or low. While the laws require such a continual course of conduct in every member of the community, they as critically forbid every one to take from another that part of the public property which is committed to him; or to impede him in making the best use of it for the public, unless when the community see it best to deprive an individual of his place and authorize another to do it in their name. In this manner the laws of a free state provide security for the particular properties of each individual member, or rather for the public interest deposited in the hands of individuals, by denouncing such penalties on every offender as are exactly adequate to his offense. There must be an exact proportion between the offense and the penalty. Where there is no such proportion, or equality, liberty is infringed, because the law is partial, as it will injure, either the public, by not giving it its due, or the offender, by inflicting a greater evil than he deserves. In this case there must be no distinctions, made by the law, between persons of different characters and stations, only as those different characters and stations may give the same criminal action different degrees of aggravation, A more humble condition; because it has a more detrimental aspect on the state. For this reason, the offences of the great should be punished with greater indignity and severity, than the crimes of persons in low life. In a perfectly free state, friendship to the community will be as carefully noticed as an offense. Punishment will not be more exactly allotted to the transgressor, than adequate and the practitioner of such of the learned professions as belong to the state, are directed by the community, in effect, to reward each other by an exchange of labor, or commodities. While those servants of the state, who are employed in managing the reins of government, are rewarded by a collection from the whole, an equality to which is returned in the happy effects of legislation and executive justice. At the same time that the laws make due provision for an equal distribution of rewards among the faithful servants of the state both of higher and lower rank, they make as full provision for the infliction of penalties on every class alike. They tender it as easy to bring a royal offender to trial, to procure an impartial sentence against him, and to inflict deserved punishment, as in the case of the meanest subject.
In such a state, the laws extend to all the members of the society alike, by making an impartial estimate of every offense, but as it is best in all communities, that some offenders should be pardoned, for special reasons, and that others should be punished; those same laws will lodge a power of determining that alternative with some one, whose capacity and integrity are equal to such a trust, so that the community may suffer no harm.
A good foundation for liberty is laid in such a constitution, but its whole worth lies in due administration. Perfect liberty takes place where such a constitution is fully administered: But where the administration is imperfect, liberty is likewise imperfect. In a perfectly free state, both the constitution, and the and the administration of it, are full of propriety, equality, and equilibrium.
These I take to be the outlines of genuine liberty, which by a proper application, may assist us in our enquiries after the degree of liberty enjoyed by any particular state.
Indeed, the circumstances and occurrences, that attend human states are so numerous, extensive and uncertain, that no one man, or body of men, can foresee and improve them all to the greatest advantage. Hence, it frequently happens, that we cannot ascertain the degree of liberty enjoyed by a community, by comparing the particular parts of a constitution, or the administration of it, with the abstract notion of liberty; for we see but a small part of the whole system, Our views are very partial. This is the case not only of individual subjects, but the body of government, itself, cannot, completely, comprehend the whole. Some degree of partial oppression is, therefore, to be expected in every human state, even, under the wisest administration. We may, however, determine, in some instances, whether liberty is unnecessarily infringed or not. When we see the body of a community plundered for the sake of indulging individuals in pride, luxury, idleness and debauchery — when we see thousands rewarded with pensions, for having either devised, or attempted to execute some scheme for plundering a nation, and establishing despotism, we cannot be in doubt whether some horrid attack is made on liberty.
We may reason thus in a few particular instances; but, in general, we must form our judgments by considering the various dispositions of mankind, and by noticing their various operations and effects, in various circumstances. We must turn our attention to the facts that have already taken place; and may reasonably conclude, that the same causes will always produce the same effects, unless something special prevents. One general inference from the whole will be, that liberty is much rather to be expected in a state where a majority, first, institutes, and then varies the constitution according as they apprehend circumstances require, than in any other.
Other things being equal, a majority has a more general and distinct knowledge of the circumstances, and exigencies of a state than a minority; and, of consequence, is more able to judge of what is best to be done. Add to this, that private interest is the great idol of the human mind; and, therefore, when a majority unite in any measures, it is to be supposed, they are such measures as are best calculated to secure the particular interests of the members of that majority; and consequently, the general interests of the body are more effectually provided for, in this way, than by the security of the private interest of any minority whatever. And if the maxims adopted by the majority are general, both in their nature and extent, it is supposed, they will prove as salutary to the members of the minority as to those of the majority, and, consequently, to the whole body. Hence, though liberty is not necessarily, nor invariably connected with the voice of a majority; yet, it is much more likely to be found in connection with such a voice, than with that of a minority. Indeed, there is in general no reason to expect liberty where a majority is counteracted, and, on the contrary, we may hope for some good degree of it, where a majority governs.
It is only on these maxims that the present British monarch can be exculpated from the several charges of rebellion, treachery, and usurpation, and on these, the glorious revolution in favor of the house of Hanover is perfectly justifiable.
Let us now attend at little, to a few particulars that may serve to excite in us some more adequate ideas of worth of civil liberty. Indeed, none but an omniscient mind can fully comprehend, and exactly estimate the true worth of this blessing, in its various consequences, effects, and inseparable concomitants, as they take place on various occasions. Our views of this subject may, however, be greatly enlarged and rendered much more distinct than they generally are.
That civil liberty is of great worth, may be inferred from the conduct of God toward the Jewish nation. He promised them freedom from the oppression of their enemies as a testimony of his favor in case of their obedience; and as a chastisement for their disobedience, he threatened them with a sate of servitude. From this it is certain that the omniscient God himself, esteems liberty a great blessing. The Israelites were taught by him to set their hearts much on liberty, and to avoid slavery with great caution, constancy and vigor.
It was observed that liberty has its rise in such a constitution as tends to the highest good of a community, and that the due administration of such a constitution affords a state of freedom. Hence, the bare idea of liberty discovers it to be an inestimable good, for whatever tends to the highest good of great numbers, must, undoubtedly, be an invaluable treasure. In this view liberty is an inexhaustible fountain, which, under God, sends forth an endless variety of such streams, as are both pleasant and salutary. I will instance in a few particulars. When we enjoy liberty, and are sure of its continuance, we feel that our persons and properties are safely guarded by her watchful eye, her impartial disposition and her powerful arm. This excites to industry, which tends to competency of wealth. The vassal, on the other hand, having no security of his present possessions, or for those he might obtain, concludes so uncertain a prize is not worth the seeking, and therefore will do no more than barely serves to silence the clamours of necessity from day to day.
In such a situation, every bias of the human mind tends to idleness and poverty. Even generosity itself will sink into inactivity and indolence; because it loathes a connection between tyranny and wealth and therefore refuses, will do nothing that might establish such a connection by strengthening a tyrannical state. Liberty not only removes every obstruction out of the way of industry, frugality and wealth, but rouses even indolence to action, and gives honest, laborious industry a social, sprightly, cheerful air; but in a state of slavery, sloth hangs heavily on the heels of dumb, sullen, moross melancholy. Industry and frugality spring from the same source, and are spontaneously productive of temperance. The former moderates the appetites, while the latter forbids unnecessary expense. This triple alliance is the natural parent of decent conversation and courteous behavior. They calm the passions and urge even pride and avarice to mimic humanity, and every generous sentiment. By these and such means, they, enable and dispose us to fulfill our contracts with exactness, ad to give us credit with our neighbors and lay a foundation for public confidence. In this manner liberty renders political virtue foundation for public confidence. In this manner liberty renders political virtue fashionable, and tends to diffuse public spirit. It discountenances disorder, and every narrow disposition. Thus the mind is fortified on all sides, and rendered calm, resolute, and stable. Industry and temperance give health to the body, and render it fit for the residence and operations of such a soul. In a nation raised to such a pitch of vigor, firmness, health and opulence, all the natural means of defense are collected, and to such the arts of war will be an easy acquisition. These united, will prove a bulwark against every assault of lawless power, whether foreign or domestic. In such a state, a free people will enjoy composure of soul and their taste will become refined. The study of the fine arts will follow or consequence, and, after these, a long train of science. Industry, frugality, and curious turn naturally invent and perfect the useful arts, What is more than all liberty secures the rights of conscience, by protecting every member of the state in the free exercise of his religion, unless it be such a religion as is inconsistent with the good of the state. The first effects of liberty, on the human mind, are calmness, serenity and pleasing hope, and all the various fruits of liberty produce the same happy effects. Thus liberty, first divides itself, as it were into various streams; which at length, all meet together again in soothing sensations and sweet emotion of soul. The pleasure that springs from liberty is the life of every other enjoyment, and the importance of it in a single instance is vastly great, too great to be conceived of, unless on a sudden transition from a state of refined freedom, to that of the most abject slavery, How great then must be the collective happiness that a community derives from a state of perfect freedom? I confess liberty never has been enjoyed in perfection by any of the nations of the earth; but this by no means affects the foregoing estimate, For, from the small degree of liberty, with which we are acquainted, the consequences of perfect liberty may be justly inferred. Nor is the imperfection of liberty, as it hath taken place in the world, any discouragement to the pursuit of it. The more we can obtain, the greater will be our enjoyment. Each degree of liberty is a precious pearl.
When we would learn how much any thing tends to happiness, we must view it with reference to the taste of the person in whom the happiness is supposed to take place. So, the happy tendency of liberty cannot be seen, unless it be viewed as terminating on some particular disposition in him by whom it is enjoyed. Liberty is so illy calculated to give to either tyrannical, or, licentious spirit, that it proves a galling curb to both. A free spirit — a spirit that is consonant to a free constitution; — a spirit that seeks the highest good of a community, in its proper place, this, and this only can extract and taste all the sweets of liberty. If we would learn how great a tendency liberty has to produce happiness, we must consider it in such circumstances as give it an opportunity to do good.
Let us then, for once, imagine a state whose members are all of a free spirit; and then attend to the glory and pleasures of liberty. The individuals are all of one mind. They unite in the same grand pursuit, the highest good of the whole. Only suppose all the members of such a state to be acquainted with the best means of promoting their general end; and we shall seem them all moving imperfect concert. The good of the body will be their first aim. And in subservience to this, they will impartially regard the particular interests of individuals. You and I shall perfectly unite in our regard for your interests and for mine. Your interest will not be the more dear to you, nor the less so to me, because it is yours. In these circumstances, there would be no room for the emotions of any of the angry painful passions; but, on the contrary, every soft and pleasing affection of every soul, would be called forth into vigorous and harmonious exercise. Every individual would choose to move in his proper sphere, and that all others should move in theirs. This would at once constitute pure felicity, and exalted beauty. How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity: Such a state of things, in the little community of a single family must be productive of great good. But should it take place through a nation, each family would enjoy the same good from its own domestic circumstances, beside the far greater pleasure which would accrue to each individual from a consideration of the same happy condition of the whole.
Should it be said, that such a scheme as has been mentioned is merely chimerical and romantic; because there never has been, nor ever will be such a general state of mind on earth; I would say, the same objection is equally strong against the worth of a state of perfect holiness. Such a state has never taken place, in perfection, in this world, nor will it hereafter; but must we therefore suppose that holiness is of no worth? The reason why we do not experience all the pleasures of liberty, that have been mentioned, is, not any defect in liberty, but the perverseness of our selfish hearts, which prevents our pursuits and enjoyments of the delights of perfect liberty. Liberty still remains a blessing too great to be compared with any other earthly good.
The thoughts that have been suggested in this discourse, open to use the nature of good government in its several branches. A legislature is denominated good, from the goodness of its laws, or, from the tendency of the laws made by it to produce the highest good of the community. In exact proportion to this tendency of the laws, is the legislature to be esteemed good: — the goodness of executive government consists in its due administration of the laws already made. It is for the good of the community alone, that laws are either to be made executed. So that,
Good government is not inconsistent with liberty. Perfect liberty and perfect government are perfectly harmonious, while tyranny and licentiousness are inconsistent with both. Yea further,
Good government is essential to the very being of liberty. Remove good government and you remove liberty. Abridge the former and you abridge the latter. Let good government increase and you increase liberty. These can never be separated in any degree. Their rise and fall is exactly uniform. Hence,
The impropriety of saying of a person, that he is a friend to government, but not to liberty; and of another that he is a friend to liberty, but not to government, appears to be very gross, Indeed on many may be a friend to tyranny and not to liberty, but then he is as truly an enemy to government. Another may be a friend to licentiousness and not to government; but then he is as truly an enemy to liberty; and both for this plain reason that good government in a state, and the liberty of that state, are one and the same thing., This suggests another idea, which is, that
He who infringes on liberty rebels against good government, and ought to be treated as a rebel. It matters not what station he fills' he is a traitor; his treachery is, however, more or less aggravated in proportion to his state and condition,. He that fills an elevated station is proportionably more criminal in the same rebellion , than those in a lower state' and where a man proves false to confidence reposed in him, his treachery is still more vase and detestable, Because his exaltation puts it into his power to do greater injury to the state than could possibly be done by inferior.
It is equally true, that every kind and degree of opposition made against good government is an enemy to liberty, a tyrant in heart, and they who are discontented and fretful under it are of the same cast.
If liberty is such a thing, and so great a blessing as it has been represented, it is, certainly, a rich talent that Heaven has been pleased to entrust with every man, and it undoubtedly becomes all to be constantly, and thoroughly awake to a sense of their duty respecting it, We are too ready to fancy, that when once we have appointed legislators, and given them charge of this inestimable treasure, we need give ourselves no further concern about it. But this is not our whole duty. We are all stewards, to whom the God of nature has committed this talent. The design of appointing a few individuals to government is not to free the rest from their obligations, but to assist them in the discharge of their duty, in the same manner that ministers of the gospel are to assist their hearers in those duties that respect the care of their souls. Communities ought therefore to keep an impartial and watchful eye on government. They are urged to do so, by a consideration of the avaricious and aspiring dispositions of mankind in general, and the peculiar opportunities and temptations that governors have to indulge them. In these latter ages of the world, after it has been found by several thousands years experience, that such as have been made the guardians of liberty, have in almost every instance, where it was thought practicable, endeavored to make themselves masters, instead of continuing stewards of the community; in these days, I say we are more distinctly sensible and frequently called on to watch the conduct of government. Liberty is not an absolute right of our own, if it were, we might support, and guard, or neglect it at pleasure. It is a loan of heaven, for which we must account with the great God. It is therefore, as unreasonable for us to place an unlimited confidence in any earthly ruler, as to place such a confidence in our spiritual ministers and depend wholly on them to settle our final account with the holy judge of the universe.
I do not mean that we should, as individuals, undertake to dictate to our rulers, or oppose them by force whenever we judge they act a wrong part. This would be utterly unreasonable, for surely we have at best, no better right to usurpation than they. What I mean is, that we should all endeavor to turn the attention of our fellow members of the community on the conduct of our rulers. We should notice and compare it with the standard of right and wrong ourselves, and excited others to do so likewise. We should endeavor on every alarming occasion, to collect the sentiments of the body, and vigorously pursue those measures that are thought the most salutary for the whole.
It becomes us, with united hearts, to make a firm stand against every attempt to wrest the jewel from us, either by force or fraud: — The present state of things is very alarming. In the view of the most simple common sense, we are now called on — men, women and children are called on to struggle for the preservation of those rights of mankind which are inexpressibly dear. Let us then rouse and exert ourselves to the utmost, on the present occasion. But you ask me. What shall we do? Shall we renounce the authority of our gracious sovereign? Shall we take up arms against his troops? What shall we do?
I answer, by no means. Do not suffer the thought of renouncing our king's authority, so much as to turn in your mind; rather, be ready to shed your blood in defense of your rightful sovereign and his high office. Never let us think of entering on a civil war, unless the Pretender, or some other usurper should attempt to dethrone the British parent of his people. But should this be the case, then let the world see that their king is dearer to the Americans than their blood.
Though the time has been when our countrymen, but a handful, wee obliged to defend themselves against thousands of the native savages; by dint of arms; yet, notwithstanding, a cloud, in some respects, much heavier than that, lowers over us at present; such is the kindness of our God, that, humanly speaking, it is in the power of America to save both herself and Great Britain from total destruction, and that without a single hostile stroke. Nothing more than piety and economy are necessary, and in these, every age and character may unite. The pious supplications of the stammering child will as effectually reach the ear of our God, and be as acceptable to him as the most elegant address. A thousand things may intercept our petitions on their way to an earthly monarch; but a combination of our enemies in earth and hell cannot prevent a pious wish in its flight to Heaven; and let us remember, that the effectual fervent prayers of the righteous avail much. We have sought in vain for relief from our parent state — from our kind. And if salvation has not come from our gracious sovereign King George, we cannot expect it from the hills. We must look still higher. Instead of railing against man let us notice and imitate the example of Michael who railed not against the devil himself. David, said, of Shimel, let him curse for the Lord hath bidden him. He saw, he had deserved so illy at God's hand, that it was no wonder, he had brought such a punishment on him. He, therefore, accepted it willingly at the hand of God; while he was not insensible to the wickedness of Shimel. It becomes us, likewise, to notice the hand of God, and settle in it our minds, that evil springs not out of the ground, — that there's no evil in the city which the Lord hath not done. Under such views, let us all, like Daniel of old, piously pour out our hearts before God, acknowledging our own sins, and those of our people. Meanwhile, let us encourage no practice, in ourselves or others, that tends to enslave our country. Let us learn to live in the plain manner of our fore-fathers. It is high time for us to reform. We have had a rich inheritance and wasted it in riotous living. Let us return to our father's house, least we be reduced to the want, even of husks to eat. These are the only expedients that seem needful at present, but if we will risqué our country for the sake of a few superfluities, posterity may curse our pride and luxury, and the present generation may find that death and carnage will terminate their folly. And should this be the case we must charge the horrid scene to our own misconduct. If any should say, it is in vain for them as individuals to be vigilant, zealous and firm in pursuing any measures for the security of our rights, unless all would unite: I would reply.
Ages are composed of seconds, the earth of sands, and the sea of drops, too small to be seen by the naked eye. The smallest particles have their influence. Such is our state, that each individual has a proportion of influence on some neighbor at least; he, on another, and so on' as in a river, the following drop urges that which is before, and every one through the whole length of the stream has the like influence. We know not, what individuals may do. We are not at liberty to lie dormant until we can, at once, influence the whole. We must begin with the weight we have. Should the little springs neglect to flow till a general agreement should take place, the torrent that now bears down all before it, would ever be formed. These might floods have their rise in single drops from the rocks, which, uniting, creep along till they meet with another combination so small that it might be absorbed by the travelers foot. Let us receive instruction from the streams, and without discouragement, pursue a laudable plan. But,
Is it not to be feared, that an appetite for the leeks and onions, is the source of our difficulty? The ungenerous language of the objector seems to be, " I could wish to seem my country happy, but if the fates have determined its destruction I will not forgo my share of the booty."e;
It is great, it is glorious, to espouse a good cause, and it still more great and glorious in such a cause to stand alone. It is great and glorious to outbrave the reproach of the base. Should all our countrymen forsake us, perseverance would be an honor, and the honor will rise as the number of our adherents is diminished.
Let us, therefore, vigorously pursue prudent measures in the present alarming state of things. Then, should it please the righteous disposer of all, to reduce us to the most abject slavery, we shall at lease, have the consolation to think, that we are in no part chargeable with having riveted chains on our country, and the blessing of a clear conscience is incomparably better than the greatest temporal interest and worldly applause.
This has been a land of liberty. We have enjoyed that blessing in a great degree for a long time. It becomes us now to reflect on our ingratitude to the giver. When he was wrought salvation for us, on one occasion and another, how have we expressed our thankfulness? By bonfires, illuminations, revellings, gluttony and drunkenness. Would not a stranger have thought us worshipers of the whole race of the heathen deities, rather than of that God, who is a spirit, and who seeketh such to worship him, as do it in spirit and in truth?
We have boasted of our liberty and free spirit. A free spirit is no more inclined to enslave others than ourselves. If then it should be found upon examination that we have been of a tyrannical spirit in a free country, how base must our character appear! And how many thousands have been plunged into death slavery by our means?
When the servant had nothing to pay, and his master had frankly forgiven him all, and he had gone and cast his fellow servant into prison, there to remain till he should pay the last farthing; the master justly punished his ingratitude and severity with the like imprisonment. Hath not our conduct very nearly resembled the conduct of that servant? God gave us liberty, and we have enslaved our fellow-men. May we not fear that the law of retaliation is about to be executed on us? What can we object against it? What excuse can we make for our conduct? What reason can we urge why our oppressions shall not be repaid in kind? Should the Africans see God Almighty subjecting us to all the evils we have brought on them, and should they cry to us, O daughter of America who are to be destroyed, happy shall he be that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us; happy shall he be that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones; how could we object? How could we resent it? Would we enjoy liberty? Then we must grant it to others. For shame, let us either cease to enslave our fellow-men, or else let us cease to complain of those that would enslave us. Let us either wash our hands from blood, or never hope to escape the avenger.
To conclude, unless we adopt some prudent decisive measures in humble dependence on God; we have reason to fear some almost unparalleled calamity. If we do not exert ourselves: it would not be strange, should a military government be established, and popery triumph in our land. Then, perhaps, those, who now want fortitude to deny themselves some of the superfluities of life, may see their husbands and sons slain in battle, their daughters ravished, their wives ript up their children dashed against the wall, and their pious parents put to the rack for the religion of Jesus. Now is the decisive moment. Gods sets before us life and death, good and evil, blessing and cursing, and bids us choose. Let us therefore choose the good and refuse the evil, that we may live and not die.

Q: Does Facebook SDK & APIs access iDevices UDID? As with recent cases of AppStore rejecting apps that are accessing UDIDs, does Facebook SDK & APIs access iDevices UDID?  Kindly advise. Thank you!

A: Yes, indeed the newest Facebook IOS SDK 3.5.1 still uses the String "uniqueIdentifier" as you can see, when you use the command
cd facebook-ios-sdk/
strings FacebookSDK.framework/FacebookSDK | grep uniqueIdentifier

Unfortunately this causes any app that uses the Facebook SDK to be rejected in the first step and being flagged "Invalid Binary".  Without uploading you can verify this already in the Xcode Organizer - Archives, using the Validate function.
So, yes it is a problem, and any hint to solve this is welcome!
Some more research on this issue:
I checked the sources of facebook ios sdk 3.5.1 on github. Actually there is no reference to the identifier "uniqueIdentifier" in the sources.  The only library that is used is the Accounts.framework from the IOS itself. So it looks like Apple themselves have to update their library!!

A: I'm using an older version of the facebook-ios-sdk, but it doesn't appear to be accessing the UDID. The proper way to get the UDID on iOS is to call
   [[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueIdentifier]

If you're using the facebook sdk, it gives you access to the source code.  So, you can search through the source code, and see if the uniqueIdentifier message is used.  On UNIX (or OS X terminal), you can try:
   cd facebook-ios-sdk/
   find . -name '*.m' | xargs grep uniqueIdentifier

This didn't turn up any hits with the version of the SDK I was using (about a year old).
There's definitely some more diabolical ways to access functions to avoid easy detection (such as my use of UNIX grep), but Apple has approved lots of apps that use this SDK.  I think you're safe.


The Department of Defense's Inspector General has launched an investigation into allegations related to Rear Adm. Dr. Ronny Jackson, who recently withdrew his consideration to be the next Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
"The DoD Office of Inspector General has initiated an investigation into allegations related to Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Ronny L. Jackson," Bruce Anderson, a spokesperson for the Inspector General, told CNN.
In April, Dr. Jackson announced that he would withdraw from consideration to lead the agency in the wake of allegations of mismanagement during his tenure as the White House physician.
"Going into this process, I expected tough questions about how to best care for our veterans, but I did not expect to have to dignify baseless and anonymous attacks on my character and integrity," Jackson said in a statement to reporters.
