Kemp Elementary School and Carver Early Childhood Center, Bryan I.S.D.
The design solution married two separate facilities (Kemp Elementary School and Carver Early Childhood Center) around an existing historical facility. This was achieved by providing entrances for each of the two schools from different streets. The Bryan I.S.D. community requested the original monumental signage to be incorporated into the new design. Saving and renovating the gymnasium and auditorium provided an over-sized play area and a large meeting space, with bleacher seating. The district and design team worked early on to engage the community in decisions regarding their historic schools. The community contributed their vision that allowed for consolidation of the two schools onto one site, with shared core facilities. By remaining independent schools under one roof, the district was able to continue the legacy of both, while creating 21st century facilities. Historical elements of the older facilities were saved and incorporated into the design of the new facility.
Because the original facility was designed as a junior/senior high campus, there were conditions that were not conducive to elementary school age learners. All of these issues were either demolished, or corrected in the new construction. All educational spaces and fixtures are now age appropriate. Additionally, the site amenities include separate play areas based on the needs of the children. Current technology and infrastructure is now available in all education spaces.

Keisha and her family are just sitting down to Saturday-morning breakfast when the phone rings. Uh-oh! There seems to be a skunk at the community garden, and it's dug a hole under the shed. At the same time, Mr. Sanders can't deliver the mail to a certain house: crows keep dive-bombing him when he gets near the mailbox. Time for the Animal Rescue Team to spring into action! This time they've got two mysteries to solve: What could crows have against mail delivery? And what really dug that hole at the community garden--as Mama knows, it's too big to have been dug by a skunk. Once again, it'll take the whole team, along with help from some new friends, to sort out what, and who, is creating all this mayhem around town.

Suppliers Claim Apple Car Is Still On And Will Debut In 2021
Take this with a healthy dose of salt, please.
Dec 21, 2020 at 3:54am ET
Apple was granted permission to test its autonomous vehicle on public roads in California back in 2017, which was a huge step forward for the tech giant and its self-driving car. However, approximately two years later, Apple decided to scale down the project and remove about 200 people from it, leaving doubts about the future of the plan. It turns out Apple is not only still working on the car, but it's reportedly two years ahead of schedule.
A sketchy report from Taiwan, brought to our attention by MacRumors, claims that a number of Taiwanese parts suppliers have started preparing to ramp up for production of the Apple car. Companies such as Heda, BizLink-KY, Heqin, and Tomita are believed to be working on components that should be delivered during the first two quarters of 2021, before the final product makes its full debut in September 2021.
This new report is contrary to previous reports which claimed Apple is in early talks with suppliers about the components it'll need for the new autonomous vehicle. The exact development stage of the project remains a mystery for now but this new report seems to suggest the tech giant is very close to the final R&D and testing phases.

Of course, you should take this speculation with a healthy dose of salt but that doesn't mean we are not intrigued just like you. If at least a small part of it is correct, this means the Apple car is still alive and we could even see an early preview of the final production version next year. For now though, we have no actual evidence that something is happening next year.

Flora is a 40-something divorcee looking for romance after her marriage fails disastrously. She and her friends meet up frequently to talk about their latest bad dating experiences, and one of them recommends online dating to her. Unfortunately, it's not a great experience. Sometimes, though, love can sneak up on you when you're not expecting it. This graphic novel explores how devastating loneliness can feel, and how it can lead you to blame yourself when your love life isn't working out.
I definitely enjoyed the art by Daphne Collignon, and it fits the story very well. In a lot of graphic novels I read, a character's expression can be challenging, but Collignon does a fantastic job of giving each character a lot of personality.
I wasn't able to relate to a single character, and I didn't gain any insight from reading this. While I enjoyed the art a great deal, I had trouble finding pleasure in the words.

Le Fromager d'Affinois ou Pavé d'Affinois sont des marques commerciales déposées, propriétés de la société Fromagerie Guilloteau dont le siège est à Pélussin dans la Loire.

Ces marques sont rattachées à une gamme de 30 fromages industriels fabriqués dans la Loire et dans l'Ain. Ce sont des fromages à pâte molle à croûte fleurie de laits de vache, chèvre ou de brebis présentés sous la forme d'une meule de 2 kilos, à la forme hexagonale et emballée dans un papier imprimé à étiquette sécable, en six parts.

Méthodes d'obtention
Les méthodes d'obtention des fromages sous cette marque sont de type industriel. Les laits sont collectés, mélangés, pasteurisés et l'excédent d'eau, de lactose et de sels minéraux solubles est retiré par ultrafiltration Procédé Maubois, Mocqot, Vassal 1969. Un des résultats de cette méthode est l'accroissement du rendement en volume de transformation du fait de la rétention dans le fromage des protéines du lactosérum.

Provenances des produits agricoles
Les différents laits crus sont achetés aux agriculteurs européens sauf pour le lait de brebis qui est acheté en France dans l'Aveyron.

Odyssey worked closely with Chase Hawk to make sure this travel bag was just right. Not skimpy, but also not overbuilt to keep the weight down. The Hawks Nest will make traveling with a bike a whole lot easier.


Voice, defined as: The range of sounds distinctive to one person or a type of person – a sound likened to speech as conveying impressions to the mind.
What do you do when you've lost your voice? If you're talking to a performer, you will probably get the answer, "Vocal rest, vitamin C, hot water and honey. Maybe even throw in some cayenne pepper." If you're talking to a writer on the other hand, this is probably the end for them and they're just ready to shave their head and give up. Much like Brittany Spears in 2007 – those were tough times for everybody.
This is a hard topic for me, because I personally feel like I've lost my voice. I have nothing to say. I sit at my computer and type away, hating everything that my fingers utter. It's been since January of this year, about 6 months that I've felt that stirring in my soul, that coming alive that writing used to bring. If you are a writer of any kind, I'm sure you can relate, at least a little bit. That dark hole where your dreams seem to have died gets all consuming and it can turn into a pit, if you let it.
This week Bethel Music's worship school WorshipU is having their 2-week conference. There's lots of talk of dreams and the beauty God has placed in us, but the funny thing is, I'm still not feeling it. You know, that fire? The thing that lights you up.
Today, a really nice guy from Brazil, named Daniel, came up to me after the morning session. He dropped a word bomb, that was the same as the one I got last night and the one I got last Thursday, and the one the Wednesday before that, and the bunches before that. WHAT. Seriously, my mind is blown. Today when I got home from work, tired and needing alone time, I decided that I needed to write. I need to write about voice.
I'm sitting here trying to do just that, and in my head all that keeps popping up is negativity and hurt. I'm not sure why I feel so broken, when all I want to do is say something – what do I say?
When met with obstacles, it is far better to rise up and fight than cower in fear.
I think the thing that is so frightening is, we are never sure if we're going to win or lose, but the best part is – you're going to win.
There's another scripter that says, "if God is for you who can be against you?" Well, I think that sums it up.
For me, I still don't feel that fire, not yet at least, but I know that if I never try to ignite it, it definitely won't be set a blaze. If there's one thing I could get across, it would be to never give up, practice, fight! Don't let your dreams and passions die, even if your voice feels like it's lost at sea. You are the only you, which means you are the only one capable of your calling. Sure, there are many people out there doing similar things, but similarity doesn't diminish purpose, it highlights intricate differences.

The Nintendo Download – 5/2/13
This week's Nintendo Download sees two new releases to the Wii U Virtual Console, and two titles which should be familiar to those who frequently partook of the Wii version. First is Mega Man, the 1987 NES classic which pits the titular character against the evil Dr. Wily's army of reprogrammed Robot Masters in the name of everlasting peace (Spoiler: The "everlasting peace" thing doesn't go so well).
Then there is Pac-Man, the NES port of the arcade classic which sees the eponymous yellow hero navigate one maze after another, munching Pac-Dots and evading the ghosts who hunt him. Of course, through the strategic use of Power Pellets, the hunters soon become the hunted.
Both Pac-Man and Mega Man are $4.99 each, but if you already own them on the Wii and have ported your data over, it will cost you only a dollar to be able to upgrade them to include off-TV play on the GamePad, restore points, button configuration, and Miiverse interaction.
Based on the Nintendo Video-exclusive cartoon series of the same name, BearShark sounds like an endless runner. Playing as Steve, the last of your bloodline, you run, jump, and evade the duo of Bear and Shark until your luck runs out.
Nintendo 3DS Ambassadors have had this one for a while, but can now upgrade this release to be on par with other Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console releases. Balloon Fight is a simple but enjoyable game I've spoken of before, taking a cue from Joust and improving on the formula in numerous ways. Additionally, there's the famous second "Balloon Trip" mode, which served as the inspiration for Balloon Kid and the game's own attraction in Nintendo Land.
Numerous Nintendo games in the Nintendo eShop are on sale for 30 percent off until 9am PT on May 9th. In addition to the excellent Dillon's Rolling Western and Pushmo (pictured above), 3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure, Tokyo Crash Mobs, and Fluidity: Spin Cycle are also part of the offerings. (Click each respective link for my reviews.)
Shin'en Multimedia Group has their own little corner of the sale, with the same discount for the same time period on Art of Balance TOUCH!, Fun! Fun! Minigolf TOUCH!, Nano Assault Neo, and Nano Assault EX.
And until 9am PT on May 9th, you'll also find that with the free download of Zen Pinball 2, Zen Studios is celebrating the theatrical release of Iron Man 3 with a Marvel Pinball 3D sale with all tables half-price.
New to the Wii U eShop is Tank! Tank! Tank!, one of the system's launch titles and a port of an arcade game which allows up to four players. Three get to control tanks with Wii Remotes while a fourth controls monsters with the GamePad, or everyone can participate in a tank battle free-for-all. Or play solo to take on monsters while unlocking and leveling up your tank arsenal.
Kung Fu Rabbit is a new Wii U eShop title which features 80 levels of platforming action in normal and hard modes as you attempt to free your disciples from Universal Evil. Along the way, you can also unlock 15 items with which to customize the Kung Fu Rabbit.
Gummy Bears Magical Medallion is a "classic adventure platformer" for the Nintendo 3DS, featuring a 3D world with a 2D camera and 12 worlds with 13 achievements to unlock. Your goal is to seek out the magical Gummy Bear Medallion stolen by King Sour Berry, so that the Gummy Bears can become invisible again, allowing them to go about their lives in peace.
In My Riding Stables 3D – Jumping for the Team for the Nintendo 3DS, you return to the scene of Riders in the Saddle a year later to find that your old rival is the new jockey, and a banker seeks to shut the stable to set up a hotel. Comic-style storytelling, minigames, Augmented Reality obstacles, an extensive StreetPass mode, and even the ability create your own horse punctuate the classic style of story.
Finally, Armageddon Operation Dragon (no page available, strangely enough) for Nintendo DSiWare and Nintendo 3DS. I'd offer a summary, but I think allowing the description to speak for itself is better in this case:
All stars and planets in the cosmos eventually come to an end! Solar System, 2037. An asteroid as large as the moon is headed directly towards Earth. Imminent Forecast: Total Destruction!!! The human race will face its Armageddon, unless you can stop it. There is no weapon powerful enough to destroy or even divert it from its Earth-bound trajectory. Only an amount of energy greater than what our sun produces could prevent it. That magnitude of energy is located outside of our solar system, at the 4 cardinal points of the galaxy. At those coordinates are the planets: Upsil-on, Magnet-on, Fusi-on and Dark-on. Visit each planet to collect the greatest amount of energy and the mission will be a complete success. Humanity will die out some day, but not this time! Be brave! It's in your hands to prevent it!
Sounds like a blast, right? There are 8 levels spread across 4 planets, and the game is said to feature "runner playability," so I'm assuming it's like an endless runner to some degree. There are also touch controls and local ranking, for those interested.
And that's everything for this week! Click the respective links above to go to each title or sale's page for more information on each.

As companies work to market to the growing millennial cohort, many have embraced a shift in content marketing to video streaming in order to best capture the attention of potential customers. This shift to video content is in line with the data, according to Forbes, 90% of consumers say product videos directly inform purchasing behavior and 95% of consumers retain information about your brand through video. And browsing behavior further supports video content as an effective business tool, with companies utilizing video content seeing a 41% boost in web traffic.
It's important for corporations to utilize professional videography services and corporate video production services in the creation of corporate video content, as a professional touch can be the difference in users clicking on and sharing your content and scrolling past it. And once you've had content created, it's vital that you have a strategy in place to ensure you are leveraging multiple platforms to create content that funnels viewers back to your online presence and the services you offer.
In order to ensure your corporate videos reach the widest possible audience, it's important that you leverage each content outlet properly and funnel that traffic back to your online presence where you can create organic conversions and sales. .
The YouTube platform should be your primary content delivery mechanism. Create channel for your organization and warehouse all of your video content on your channel. This allows you to create linkable content that includes an overview of your company and ultimately links back to your corporate website. Full versions of your corporate videos should be posted here.
Leveraging internal client lists, you can create a personalized dialogue with clients with whom you have an existing relationship, providing them with valuable content catered to their needs. Since they've already opted into being contacted by email, you know it's a medium you'll be able to reach them on and be able to use video content to gradually enhance the existing business relationship.
Whether your company blog has a high readership or not, the purpose of maintaining an active, well-written search engine optimized corporate blog is to generate search visibility on Google and other search engines. Many of the new search algorithms reward websites where content is consistently updated and easily matched to popular search terms. You can utilize blog posts to link to YouTube content and provide viewers with more information about the video content you've produced.
Once your content has been warehoused on YouTube, the ultimate goal of your marketing strategy from here is to create micro content on multiple social media sites that link back to your YouTube channel, where you can then focus your efforts on converting visitors into clients.
Short clips of the original videos can be featured on your company's Facebook page and on your corporate Instagram and Twitter accounts. This content can then filter back to your YouTube channel. Automating posting of new and existing content across these platforms can create a constant traffic stream and audience engagement.
The Austin market is highly competitive, and it's important for businesses here to use Austin based professional videography services and corporate video production services who understand the local market and can help your organization create different types of content in order to stand out.

A: *

Chris Winterburn (Chris): Firstly David, how did One United USA form as a supporters club and were there any early difficulties, which the group faced shortly after its inception during the 1991/1992 season?
David Herman (David): The Group's founder Peter Holland left Manchester for the States to play football and the difficulties are no less dissimilar now than they were twenty years ago.
Peter Holland's colleague was producing diaries for the club and made inquiries via personal and professional relations, outlining what would benefit the Manchester United by having a dedicated presence on the other side of the pond as soccer was growing across America. The official sponsor of the club at the time, Sharp's chairman added creditability to the conception by distributing a picture of Peter and sponsor presenting one another with signed shirt and ball, eventually appearing in the match day program in March 1992 entitled "The American Connection".
Chris: With the supporters club now enjoying its 23rd season associated with Manchester United, just how many members does the group currently have within their ranks and what would be the benefits for new members looking to join the group at this time?
David: The United States has the third largest membership subscription base globally and as we continue to raise awareness of the supporters clubs and our individual chapters across the country due to United's return visits to the States and of course, social media, we've grown to over 15,000 registered supporters with a smaller number who subscribe to the official global (UK) membership.
In terms of benefits for new members, we've been allowed to enhance the official membership with an American supplement that affords supporters a valued addition to their package with decidedly more USA-like benefits. Typically, we include a season review, but after last season and the interest in the historical success of the Class of 92, we've included the documentary alongside our official 'Supporters on Tour' scarf, badge, pen and legends card to commemorate the recent summer tour.
As a member, those supporters seeking home match tickets can apply via us and/or use our own season tickets throughout the season.

It'd be interesting to see the affect on membership if the current decline becomes long term rather than a blip. For example 4-5 years without European Cup football (the closest thing to relegation that a Top 4 fanboy could experience).

Sisi holds key to Trump's Sinai plan for Palestinians
By Jonathan Cook (Page 1 of 4 pages) (View How Many People Read This) 1 comment
From Jonathan Cook Website
Reports suggest Trump is about to unveil a massive relief program, but on condition Palestinians work in Egypt under an Israeli "Greater Gaza" plan
Freedom for Palestine
(Image by alisdare1) Details DMCA
Israel and the US are in a race against time with Gaza. The conundrum is stark: how to continue isolating the tiny coastal enclave from the outside world and from the West Bank -- to sabotage any danger of a Palestinian state emerging -- without stoking a mass revolt from Gaza's two million Palestinians?
In Gaza, Israel does not have the luxury of time it enjoys in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the two additional Palestinian territories it occupies. In those areas, it can keep chipping away at the Palestinian presence, using the Israeli army, Jewish settlers and tight restrictions on Palestinian movement to take over key resources like land and water.
Gaza: A death camp
While Israel is engaged in a war of attrition with the West Bank's population, a similar, gradualist approach in Gaza is rapidly becoming untenable. The United Nations has warned that the enclave may be only two years away from becoming "uninhabitable," its economy in ruins and its water supplies un-potable.
More than a decade of a severe Israeli blockade as well as a series of military assaults have plunged much of Gaza into the dark ages. Israel desperately needs a solution, before Gaza's prison turns into a death camp. And now, under cover of Donald Trump's "ultimate peace plan," Israel appears to be on the brink of an answer.
Recent weeks have been rife with reports in the Israeli and Arab media of moves by Washington and Israel to pressure Egypt into turning over a swath of territory in northern Sinai, next to Gaza, for infrastructure projects designed to alleviate the enclave's "humanitarian crisis."
Late last month Hamas, which rules Gaza, sent a delegation to Cairo to discuss the measures. This followed hot on the heels of a visit to Egypt by Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law who is overseeing the Middle East peace plan.
Exploiting Egyptian fears
According to reports, Trump hopes soon to unveil a package -- associated with his "deal of the century" peacemaking -- that will commit to the construction of a solar-power grid, desalination plant, seaport and airport in Sinai, as well as a free trade zone with five industrial areas. Most of the financing will come from the oil-rich Gulf states.
Egyptian diplomatic sources appear to have confirmed the reports. The program has the potential to help relieve the immense suffering in Gaza, where electricity, clean water and freedom of movement are in short supply. Palestinians and Egyptians would jointly work on these projects, providing desperately needed jobs. In Gaza, youth unemployment stands at over 60 percent.
It has been left unclear whether Palestinians from Gaza would be encouraged to live close to the Sinai projects in migrant workers' towns. Israel will doubtless hope that Palestinian workers would gradually make Sinai their permanent home.
Egypt, meanwhile, will benefit both from the huge injection of capital in an economy currently in crisis, as well as from new infrastructure that can be used for its own population in the restive Sinai peninsula.
It is worth noting that for two years an Israeli cabinet minister has been proposing similar infrastructure projects for Gaza located on an artificial island to be established in Palestinian territorial waters. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly balked at the proposal.
Locating the scheme instead in Egypt, under Cairo's control, will tie Egyptian security concerns about Gaza to Israel's, and serve to kill the Palestinian national cause of statehood.

SFA hits back at Hibs' Neil Lennon over Ryan Porteous treatment claims

The SFA has hit back at Hibs boss Neil Lennon's criticism of how Easter Road kid Ryan Porteous was treated while on international duty insisting every Scotland player gets the very best of care.
Lennon admitted he was angry to have discovered that Porteous had continued to play for Scotland's Under-21 side in the prestigious Toulon Tournament in the South of France despite a scan showing he had torn a cartilage in his knee.
Porteous has missed the Edinburgh club's entire pre-season programme and will sit out tonight's Europa League clash with NSi Runavik although the 19-year-old has now returned to training.
Lennon accused the SFA of not even having the courtesy of letting Hibs know what had happened to their player, revealing he only found out when his squad reported back to prepare for the new season.
He said: "I've asked for a report from the Scotland medical team explaining why he played in games when scans showed he had a tear in the cartilage.

"There's been no phone call, no courtesy call. Nothing. My physio was out there with England Under-21s and he was mortified when he realised the extent of the injury."
But in response to Lennon's attack, an SFA spokesman said: "It goes without saying that we want to return every player who represents Scotland back to their club in the best possible condition.
"We employ very experienced medical staff who provide the highest level of care to the players to the standards expected by their profession and the medical bodies.
"Importantly, we only select players who are fit to play. It wouldn't be right for us to divulge any personal medical information about Ryan, or indeed any other player.
"But we can say in this instance, we were in contact with Hibernian continuously throughout and after the tournament and after the tournament via our medical team and their counterparts at the club.
"This is standard practice at international level. All of our medical notes and information have been shared with the club and we will continue our dialogue with them directly in relation to Ryan and any other Hibernian players who are on Scotland duty in the future."

Well, the end of Classical Greece is only a few pages away (more of that in another post soon). However, a good two weeks ahead of schedule, Amazon have sent me this. I've had this on pre-order since January.
There have been numerous new books published in the last few years about the Tudors, Anne Boleyn in particular. With the popularity of the US t.v. show, a lot of authors seem to have leapt on the bandwagon and churned out a biography, few saying anything that hasn't been said before (and better). Many of them have dug out old myths, discredited for years by more able historians, and regurgitated them for audiences who don't know the field well enough to separate the wheat from the chaff. Some make grand, if misleading, promises to break new ground on the subject (for example, Alison Weir's recent The Lady In The Tower may well be the first book focused solely on Anne Boleyn's downfall; it is not, however, the first book to tackle it, or by far the best).
Bernard's book is different. For one thing, the man's actually studied history (which puts him in a minority for historical biographers, your history graduate author grumbles). For another, he's genuinely got something controversial to say.
Bernard is unique among Anne's recent biographers (the good and the less so) because not only does he claim that it was Henry, not Anne, who insisted on their long celibacy, but that the charges of adultery she faced in 1536 were not a vicious fabrication, the result of court faction, but were, at least in part, true.
He has written about this in the past, though in less detail. Part of his theory, as I understand it, relies on his interpretation of remarks in Henry's love letters to Anne. Bernard believes that a line in which Henry tells his love that he hopes to soon be her lover physically as well as emotionally (I paraphrase) indicates that it is he who has decreed that there will be no premarital sex between the two of them and that this line is intended to pacify (the insatiable?) Anne with a promise that his injunction will soon be lifted.
To me this reads more as a frustrated lover trying to wheedle and persuade his mistress that their marriage is all but a done deal so what harm could there be to granting him those final favours?
Bernard suggests that Henry's uncharacteristic moderation is due to his determination that his children with Anne will be of definite legitimacy and so refuses to sleep with her and the fur pillows amazon in order to avoid any inconvenient illegitimate pregnancies wrecking his plans. I'd almost buy this if Henry hadn't made some provisions for their illegitimate children when he promoted Anne to Marquess of Pemboke: in the letters patent, it is stated that Anne's children will inherit the lands and title but the clause "lawfully begotten" is notable by its absence. By 1532 he is considering the possibility that he may not have "lawfully begotten," that is legitimate, children with her.
I haven't delved into Bernard's new book yet so have summarised his arguments in his book The King's Reformation. He will have to come up with some pretty good evidence to convince me of his claims as Eric Ives has done a thorough job of demonstrating the improbability of Anne's guilt. I will certainly be posting about this when I can get stuck into this book. It's the first Anne Boleyn book I've looked forward to for a long time.

Anne Boleyn on the anniversary of her execution
500 years on, Anne Boleyn is still causing controversy.
While most historians accept that her execution was the result of one of history's most notorious fit up jobs, academics are still engaged in debate about the facts of her life. Not too long ago, the late Eric Ives and Retha Warnicke conducted a fierce argument about the year of Anne's birth through the pages of History journal. Several articles were produced on both sides: Ives maintaining 1501 as the likely date and Warnicke countering with 1507 as her preferred year. With such basic information as the year the future queen was born still in debate, what hope is there to establish the more gauzy aspects of Anne's life?
Perhaps more than might be thought. Warnicke's argument for 1507 as Anne's birth year is unconvincing and crumbles in the face of Ives's academic rigour, as do Warnicke's other revisionist theories which were adopted (and further adulterated) by Philippa Gregory in The Other Boleyn Girl, her bestselling novel which was in turn made into a film, the plot of which deviated so far from the truth as to be almost unrecognisable.
Anne Boleyn in Fiction
There are, in fact, countless novels about Anne Boleyn. In recent years, the market for historical fiction seems to have exploded with new novels published and older ones, by Jean Plaidy, for example, repackaged with fashionable covers. Anne has been a popular subject and, I suspect, has made more appearances in these books than any other queen of England.
There is something fascinating about this woman. It cannot simply be the tragedy of her death for if that were the case, her cousin Catherine Howard would be equally popular. No, there is something fascinating about Anne that her contemporaries discovered and her husband failed to destroy even when he destroyed her.
Anne's uncle, Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, by Holbein
Life and Untimely Death
Anne was the youngest daughter of Thomas Boleyn, a diplomat in the service of Henry VII and later Henry VIII, and his wife, Elizabeth Howard, the daughter of the first Duke of Norfolk. Her enemies liked to trivialise Anne's ancestry as being ignominiously low but she was, in fact, of perfectly noble stock. She was related not only to the powerful Dukes of Norfolk, but to other noble families like the Butlers and Ormondes. Anne also benefited from a particularly good education and spend some years at the court of Margaret of Austria, regent of the Netherlands and then at the sophisticated court of France. When she returned to England in her early twenties, Anne Boleyn was not the merchant's daughter her detractors would have us believe. Rather, a witness described her as "a right fine French lady." In fact, Anne caused quite a stir with her arrival at Henry VIII's court.
Anne Boleyn seems to have returned to England because her father had entered into negotiations with their Irish relatives to marry her to James Butler, who would become the Earl of Ormonde. For reasons now unknown, the negotiations floundered and Anne remained at court, unmarried, as a lady in waiting to the queen, Catherine of Aragon. It wasn't long before the striking young woman had won the attentions of Henry Percy, heir to the dukedom of Northumberland- one of the most powerful and richest peerages in England. Anne and Percy intended to marry and Percy went so far as to publicly announce their engagement, which could be as legally binding as if they had been married. The King's chief minister, Cardinal Wolsey, and Percy's father the Duke of Northumberland were furious on discovering the young couple's intentions and soon broke the engagement.
Percy was not the only man at court to be fascinated by Anne Boleyn. Thomas Wyatt, poet and relation of the Boleyns, paid a great deal of attention to Anne. It is difficult to tell if Wyatt's feelings for Anne were more serious than the game of courtly love but Anne herself seems never to have taken them too seriously. His most famous poem, Whoso List to Hunt, is about her.
Whoso List to Hunt
Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind,
But as for me, hélas, I may no more.
The vain travail hath wearied me so sore,
I am of them that farthest cometh behind.
Yet may I by no means my wearied mind
Draw from the deer, but as she fleeth afore
Fainting I follow. I leave off therefore,
Sithens in a net I seek to hold the wind.
Who list her hunt, I put him out of doubt,
As well as I may spend his time in vain.
And graven with diamonds in letters plain
There is written, her fair neck round about:
Noli me tangere, for Caesar's I am,
And wild for to hold, though I seem tame.
The King's Great Matter
By the mid 1520s, however, the King had noticed Anne. Henry initially planned to simply install her as a mistress. He had previously had an affair with her sister and assumed Anne would be just as compliant as Mary. Henry was wrong. Anne refused his advances, declined to be his mistress, telling him that her virtue was more important to her. Henry, not used to being refused anything, was fascinated and redoubled his attempts to woo her.
Anne maintained that she would not become his mistress. She removed herself from court until he demanded that she return. She told him that she would consent only to being his wife. Was this a calculated move on Anne's part? Was she aware of the breakdown of the king's marriage and hoping to replace Catherine? Or was she simply trying to end Henry's attentions? While Henry pursued her, she had no hope of making a marriage with anyone else. Who would be foolish enough to cross the king? It may have been that in demanding marriage, Anne hoped Henry would give up his pursuit. If that is what she hoped, Anne was to be disappointed.
At the end of 1526, Anne finally relented and agreed to become Henry's mistress with the proviso that she would not sleep with him and the maternity pillow until they were married. Henry, who had previously toyed with the idea of divorcing Catherine, with whom he had failed to have sons. With Anne's promise secured, he returned to the plan with gusto.
Petition sent to Clenment VII from the English Parliament urging him to grant Henry a divorce from Catherine of Aragon
Henry expected that the divorce, although unpopular, could be secured quickly. The Pope had the authority to dissolve marriages and in cases such as this, where the king sought to divorce a wife who had failed to give him male heirs and marry a new bride, the Pope often agreed. Unfortunately, the army of the Emperor Charles V sacked Rome before Pope Clement VII passed judgement. Charles was Catherine's nephew and bitterly opposed Henry's plan which would humiliate his aunt. The result was to draw out what had been expected to be a process of a few weeks into a bitter, seven year long struggle. In order to secure his divorce and marry Anne, Henry broke away from the Catholic Church, alienated many of his closest friends and his own daughter.
After years of struggle, Anne and Henry were married in secret at the end of 1532. Anne was crowned on the 1st of July 1533, five months pregnant with the child everyone expected to be Henry's longed-for son. On the 7th September, Anne gave birth to a daughter. She was named Elizabeth, after Henry's mother. The disappointment at Elizabeth's gender has often been overstated. While it was a blow, it was not a serious one. The baby was health and the couple had high hopes that sons would follow.
Anne was pregnant again soon after Elizabeth's birth and Henry was sure that this time it would be a son. However she miscarried at the beginning of July 1534. In October 1535, she was pregnant again but in late January, on the day of Catherine of Aragon's funeral, she miscarried. It was reported that the foetus was identifiable as male. The imperial ambassador, Eustace Chapuys, reported that "She has miscarried of her saviour."
Downfall
In April 1536, Thomas Cromwell set about removing the queen in order to replace her with one who suited his designs better. He planned Anne's downfall methodically, looking for any pretext on which she could be accused. He worked quickly and the first arrest was made on 30th April.
Thomas Cromwell, Holbein
Mark Smeaton was a musician at court. He was arrested and taken to Cromwell's house where is was interrogated and threatened with torture. Smeaton was accused of adultery with the queen. He was then taken to the Tower where he was most likely tortured into confessing. Anne did not know of Cromwell's machinations and attended the May Day jousts unsuspecting. Henry left the jousts abruptly and Anne was never to see him again.
On the journey back to London, the king questioned one of his men, Henry Norris, about his involvement with Anne. Norris admitted no wrong doing. Henry even promised him pardon if he would admit his guilt. Norris refused and was sent to the Tower the following day. The same day Anne herself was taken to the Tower and interrogated by her uncle and others. She also denied any wrong doing. At the same time, her brother, Francis Weston and Francis Brereton were arrested for adultery with the queen. On the 8th May, Francis Bryan and Thomas Wyatt were sent to the Tower.
Four of the men accused with Anne were tried on 12th May. Smeaton, Weston, Brereton and Norris were all found guilty. Only Smeaton ever admitted guilt, more likely the consequence of torture and the threat of more, than a genuine confession. The other men, as nobles, were not tortured. The queen's trial was held on 14th May 1536. Despite putting up a convincing defence, Anne was nonetheless found guilty of adultery and treason. Her brother George's trial was held afterwards although he too was a convincing defendant, he was convicted.
The men were executed on Tower Hill on 17th May. The king, as a last mercy to the woman he had turned his country upside down to have, ordered the executioner of Calais to behead Anne with a sword rather than the traditional axe. The sword was both quicker and more dignified as the condemned knelt upright rather than lay prostrate on the block. It was also less likely than an axe to miss its mark.
On the 19th May 1536, at 7am, Anne Boleyn mounted the scaffold and made a short speech. The executioner was as good as had been promised and her head was severed in a single stroke. Her ladies were left to bundle her body into an arrow chest. It was then hastily buried in the Chapel of St Peter Ad Vincula. Anne entered the Tower on 2nd May 1536 and never left, even in death.
On the 20th May, the king announced his betrothal to one of Anne's maids, a mouse of a woman and stark contrast to her former mistress.

Q: List of parcelable objects to parcelable Kotlin I have a parcelable team class
@Parcelize
class Team(var name: String, var teamMembers: List<String>, var id: UUID): Parcelable

I have a service that returns a list of (currently hardcoded) Teams:
@Module
class TeamInfoModule @Inject constructor(): ITeamInfoModule {

    @Provides
    override fun getAllTeamData(): List<Team> { ... }

}

I want to be able to pass this list of teams into a Fragment from an activity like so:
class MainActivity: AppCompatActivity() {

    @Inject
    lateinit var teamInfoModule: TeamInfoModule;

    lateinit var team: Team;

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        DaggerServiceModuleComponent.create().inject(this)

        val bundle = Bundle()
        val teamArrayList: List<Team> = this.teamInfoModule.getAllTeamData()
        val homeFragment = HomeFragment()

        bundle.putParcelable("teamData", teamArrayList)
        homeFragment.arguments = bundle

    }
}

This throws an error of: Type Mismatch. Required: Parcelable? Found: List<Team>.
I know that that a single team can be passed to my Fragment as it doesn't throw an error.
My question is, is there a utility that I haven't found that can somehow serialize a List to a Parcelable? I had the idea of creating a custom TeamListClass that also implements @Parcelize but I wanted to ask here before I went off and wrote code that I didn't need. Maybe something similar to a JS' Array.map() that will pass each Parcelable into the bundle?

A: You should use:
bundle.putParcelableArrayList("teamData", ArrayList(teamArrayList))

A: Convert the list to arrayList using ArrayList(teamArrayList)
 bundle.putParcelableArrayList("teamData", ArrayList(teamArrayList))

Funding Secured for Refhyne II
Consortium announces grant award from CINEA for 100 MW project
ITM Power (AIM: ITM), the energy storage and clean fuel company, is pleased to announce that the Refhyne II consortium has been awarded a grant of €32.4m by CINEA (the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency) for the development of a 100 MW electrolyser to be sited at Shell's Energy and Chemicals Park, Rheinland.
The Refhyne II consortium comprises Shell Deutschland GmbH, ITM Power and ITM Power GmbH, Linde Engineering, ITM Linde Electrolysis GmbH, Fundacion Tecnalia Research & Innovation, Element Energy and Concawe, and is coordinated by Sintef AS.
Refhyne II is the follow-on project to the 10 MW Refhyne I, Europe's largest PEM hydrogen electrolyser, which began operations in July this year, with support from the European Commission's Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking Refhyne I uses renewable electricity to produce up to 1,300 tonnes of green hydrogen a year. This will initially be used to produce fuels with lower carbon intensity. The green hydrogen will also be used to help decarbonise other industries. The Rheinland site, near Cologne, is where Shell intends to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) using renewable power and biomass in the future.
The 100 MW Refhyne II project will see an engineering design phase which will be followed by a final investment decision (FID) expected in late 2022 with delivery then scheduled for 2024.
This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement number 101036970.
Dr Graham Cooley, CEO of ITM Power, said: "Having successfully delivered the 10 MW Refhyne I project, the consortium partners will take the experience and learning they have gained to scale up tenfold for Refhyne II. This is a world leading project that demonstrates the increasing commitment by governments and industry to decarbonise, at scale, using zero carbon footprint green hydrogen. We are delighted to be a part of it."
Paul Bogers, Shell VP Hydrogen, said: "Refhyne II is an important project for Shell as part of our drive towards developing and scaling our green hydrogen capabilities. It will contribute to our efforts to build markets for hydrogen and successively reduce costs, in line with our strategy to help our partners and customers decarbonise and move towards net-zero emissions."
Michael Schaeffer, Vice President Hydrogen & Synthesis Gas Plants, Linde Engineering said: "We look forward to contributing to this lighthouse project in the field of green hydrogen and to partnering with Shell, building on our good relationship from other projects. Linde Engineering will execute this project in close alignment with the other consortium partners and are proud to contribute our expertise to this team effort."
Alexandra Bech Gjørv, President and CEO of SINTEF said: "The significance of this project is that it allows us to take a big step towards a zero-emission future, where both heavy transport and the industry can obtain fuel from renewable energy."
Ben Madden, Partner of Element Energy, an ERM Group company, said: "The global imperative for clean and innovative new ways to decarbonise our industries has never been greater and we are thrilled to be a part of this project, showcasing our boots to boardroom capability to turn strategic commitment into technical delivery. There is a real need to ensure these large electrolyser systems are installed and tested to demonstrate and assess the economically viable production of green hydrogen at scale. Building on what we have learned and achieved in REFHYNE I, the REFHYNE II project will help to take a globally meaningful step towards the goal of carbon neutrality."

A person's faith does not become perfect until he observes fairness with respect to himself and others. In exchange, God shall increase his honour and glory.
Man, by nature, prefers his own self and loves everything that is associated with him. He also possesses a dislike for everything bad and evil. Thus, if he helps someone in need, he would be commended by one and all. Similarly, (justice demands that) if he does not desire anything bad and evil for himself, he should not desire it for the others too.
This also holds true when mediating between two warring parties; never should he side unfairly with one, against the other, even if the outcome results in his own detriment.
An Arab approached the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) when he was about to embark upon a military expedition.
Seizing the reins of the Prophet'scamel, he said, "O' Prophet of Allah! Inform me of a deed that would earn me Paradise."
"Conduct yourself with people in the same manner as you would want them to behave towards you and refrain from doing to them what you would not want them to do to you," advised the Prophet (s.a.w.) and then added, "Let go of the reins (for I have to go for jihad)."
Like the other youths, I entered the vast open ground of Kufah, where I witnessed Amirul Mu'mineen (a.s.) standing beside two containers which were filled with gold and silver coins. He had a small whip in his hand. A huge crowd had gathered around him and he kept them back by means of his whip, to prevent them from hampering the distribution of the money.
The Imam (a.s.) began distributing the money amongst the people until nothing remained for himself and he returned home empty-handed.
I returned home and said to my father, "I witnessed a very strange act today but I fail to comprehend if this person's action was good or bad because he never retained anything for himself!"
My father inquired, "Who was the person?"
"Amirul Mu'mineen (a.s.)," I replied and then went on to narrate what had transpired earlier. Upon hearing A'li's (a.s.) fairness in distributing the money, my father began to weep and said to me, "My son, you have witnessed the most excellent person from amongst the people."
A'di, the son of the well-known Haatim Taai, was one of the sincere and loyal companions of Amirul Mu'mineen (a.s.). From the year 10 A.H. when he accepted Islam, A'di had always remained in the service of the Imam (a.s.), and had fought alongside him in the battles of Jamal, Siffeen and Nahrawaan. In the battle of Jamal he sustained an injury to one of his eyes as a result of which he lost his vision.
Once he came to Mua'wiyah for some purpose. Mua'wiyah asked him why he had not brought his sons with him.
"They were killed while fighting alongside Amirul Mu'mineen (a.s.)," he replied.
"A'li has not been just to you, for he sent your sons to be killed while he has kept his own sons alive!" said Mua'wiyah.
A'di retorted, "(On the contrary) I have not done justice to A'li for he has been killed, whereas I am still alive. O' Mua'wiyah! Our rage towards you still smoulders in our hearts. Do know that (the pain of) having our throats slit or the agony of death is easier for us to bear than hearing bad comments about A'li (a.s.)."
"If he possesses goodness in him, God shall make him reach you."
Meanwhile, Abu Dharr, disappointed with his animal, dismounted and proceeded on foot. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) found a convenient place and had decided to pitch the tents, when one of the Muslims shouted that there was someone in the distance approaching them.
O' Lord! May it be Abu Dharr!
May Allah forgive Abu Dharr! He travels alone, shall die alone and shall be resurrected alone. He then asked the people to provide Abu Dharr with some water, as he appeared to be thirsty.
But when Abu Dharr arrived in his presence, the Prophet (s.a.w.) observed that he had a container of water in his possession, and so asked him, "Abu Dharr! You had water with you and yet you remained thirsty?"
"Yes! O' Prophet of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you! On the way, I was overcome by thirst. I reached a place where there was some water. Tasting it, I found it to be cold and delicious and so said to myself: (It is not fair) if I drink this water before the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.)," replied Abu Dharr.
Hearing this, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) said, "O' Abu Dharr! May Allah forgive your sins! You shall lead your life in solitude, die as a stranger, away from home, and enter Paradise alone."

Imran Khan against public execution of rapists
Caption: File photo.
Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari on Friday revealed that Prime Minister Imran Khan had opposed the suggestion of publicly executing those involved in sexual assaults on women, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
The government wasn't introducing any legislation about public executions, said Mazari during an informal chat with media persons in Islamabad. "The prime minister has made it clear that there can't be any hangings in public," she added.
Opposing introduction of laws for the purpose, the prime minister said how such legislation could be introduced in the presence of international treaties.
About the measures to curb the menace, the federal minister said the government was taking steps to stop the trend of sexual assaults. Families of the raped women now cannot enter into deal in rape cases, she noted in this connection.
Mazari said women police would be part of investigating the rape cases in future, adding that the government was going to establish a rape centre to follow such cases in courts.
This statement came just days after an interview in which Imran had said that rapists should be given exemplary punishments. "In my opinion, they should be hanged at the chowk (square)," he said, adding that the punishment should be reserved for rapists and those who abuse children.
He said rapists should be handed down the most severe punishments to curb rising sexual violence in the country, such as either hanging them publicly or chemically castrating them.

Taylor and I found out last Friday that we were gonna have a baby!! I know most of the family knows and I haven't posted it on Facebook/Myspace because I'm waiting for my first Dr.'s appointment. It's scheduled for August 19th, still two weeks away…I hate this waiting. So I thought I would post here a quick update. So far I'm doing good. I've had a little morning sickness, or all day sickness as I like to call it. I'm having trouble making myself eat, just because nothing at all sounds good. By my calculations, I should be about 6wks pregnant, but I will find out for sure at my first appointment.
Taylor and I are both really excited. Taylor jokes he better not come down with sympathy sickness…lol. So far so good. So other than the occasional sick day, being really tired, and my skin is so dry and itchy…I'm doing great!! My only craving so far is grapes…can't seem to get enough of them! We are just praying for a healthy baby (I know that sounds cliche, but it's how we feel).
Oh my! Congrats! I am so excited for you two. Congrats, yay for grapes and sympathy pains!

The forest canopy was full of yellow, red, and brown leaves catching the last of the setting sun's rays. Their glow filled the forest with a golden light which made the party a festive troop. When the final explosion of sunset touched Charlie, he grimaced at its demise leaving only Missy's lantern and the twinkling stars above to guide them home. They raised their voices in song as if to deny the darkness its final triumph.
The trees thinned and the brush dropped away as they emerged from the forest. They marched up the hill and through the field. Their music carried on the wind up to the farmhouse where Wilmuth and Gunther waited. They were perched impatiently on a stone porch guarded by a cedar railing. At one end of the porch was a large fireplace with a roaring fire surrounded by fluffy pillows on a raised rubble hearth. The ceiling fans were adorned with fairy lights. The table was set with foods of all types.
The rescue party could smell the sweet aroma of cooked apples, cinnamon, and clover before they saw the light emanating from the farmhouse. As they made their way through the orchard and across the barnyard Robin sang, "We're almost home."
As they drew closer, they could see Aunt Wilmuth's excitement and hear her voice saying, "They're almost here! Pour the juice! They will be chilled! Everyone should be warm!"
The cart bounced over the deep ruts tossing the riders high into the air. "Whoop!" Walter called out and clasped Charlie's shoulder. "What an exciting day this has been!"
Charlie giggled and said, "This has been the biggest adventure ever! I am starving. Are we there yet?"
Walter laughed as fresh grease and iron shavings flew through the air when they ground to a halt.
"Yes," Mercury called, "we are HOME!"
Everyone jumped down from the cart and trotted toward the porch. Walter reached down and cupped his vines together. "Charlie, step here and I will lift you up and over the railing. It's faster than the stairs."
Charlie steadied himself with Mercury's shoulder, stepped onto Walter's vines, and climbed up the wall and over the railing.
Wilmuth greeted him with a big warm hug. The scent of cinnamon filled his nose as she wrapped him in a heated quilt.
Then Uncle Gunther lifted him up into the air smiling and laughing. "Looks like you had a great adventure!" he exclaimed.
Charlie giggled and for the first time was able to take in the full breadth of the porch. The warmth of the fire, the smell of the food, the twinkling of the fairy lights, the welcomes from his new friends, and the taste of the apple juice filled him with comfort.
A cheer erupted from the far end of the table as the rest of the crew topped the stairs and the band struck up a triumphant tune. Uncle Gunther placed Charlie at the head of the table.
"Come on, Walter!" Uncle Gunther said as he picked him up, too, "Y'all must be starving! Come eat, drink, and warm yourselves by the fire. Afterward, we can have some of Aunt Wilmuth's famous cherry-apple pie."
He set Walter down next to Charlie and then took the next seat. "Let's eat!" he called out and all the farm animals chowed down on their favorite foods.
Walter turned to Charlie and said, "Let's go fishing tomorrow." Charlie raised an eyebrow and smiled. If this was a normal day on a farm, he was going to have an adventurous winter!
This book is dedicated to Charles Harris, Architect. He can walk into a room filled with strangers and walk out rich and with friends. I've always been in awe of his radiant personality and he continues to inspire me.
I'd like to thank my dear friends, family, and acquaintances for all of their help in writing this series. The laughter and comradery you brought to the table during the writing and illustrating of this book gave everyone a shared rich experience.

Home News Human Rights 6 Millions Iranian Widows in Deplorable Living Conditions
6 Millions Iranian Widows in Deplorable Living Conditions
(PMOI / MEK Iran) and (NCRI): 6 million Iranian widows deprived of basic human rights.
A report by the women's community of the NCRI: The UN Secretary-General declared on International Widows Day in 2020, "The death of a partner at any time can leave many women without rights to inheritance or property. In times of a pandemic, these losses are often multiplied for widows and accompanied by stigma and discrimination. The unprecedented levels of isolation and economic hardship brought on by the COVID-19 crisis can further compromise widows' ability to support themselves and their families, cutting them off from social connection at a time of profound grief."
The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), and the People's Mujahedin of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran), reported that the coronavirus death toll in 547 cities surpasses 317,400.
(PMOI / MEK Iran) and (NCRI): announced on Friday, June 25, 2021, that the Coronavirus death toll in 547 cities had exceeded 317,400.
Under the misogynistic fundamentalists' regime, these challenges worsen for Iranian widows. Currently, the UN's goals include eliminating discriminatory laws and providing social support and safety to widows.
One of the most pressing difficulties for Iranian widows, according to some experts, is a lack of financial autonomy. They are unable to maintain themselves or manage their life due to low pay. Finding suitable work is one of the most pressing concerns for these women.
(PMOI / MEK Iran) and (NCRI): Iranian women on International Widows Day.
Widows in such situations have little choice but to labor in workshops for miserable wages or in slave-like conditions. Because they are afraid of losing their jobs, these women do not complain. Even if they complain, the sexist mullahs' regime's legal system has no provision for women's rights.
Women who have been divorced suffer more than males. Even in the same field, they can't find a job as rapidly as they could while they were married. Some of their acquaintances request friendship or a temporary marriage so that they can exploit these women.
(NCRI) and (PMOI / MEK Iran): Unfortunately, women are the last to be hired and the first to be fired in Iran so when there is an economic crisis they are the main victims. Basically, they are just cheap labor and have no rights at all.
The actual number of widows in Iran is unknown. Iran has roughly 5.1 million widowed or divorced women, according to the Iranian Statistics Center. Wrote the state-run Jahan Sanat on September 21, 2020.
The state-run Shargh daily, however, estimated the figure at 6 million on July 4, 2011.
This inconsistency, like other statistics on Iran's social and economic issues, stems from a lack of transparency. The regime's media, on the other hand, have issued a smattering of figures that reveal a far worse situation.
(NCRI) and (PMOI / MEK Iran): 70% of working Iranian women lost their jobs
On May 18, 2018, the state-run Rokna News Agency published an article citing, Masoumeh Aghapour Alishahi, a female member of the regime's Parliament that announced that 24,000 widowed girls under the age of 18 had been identified.
As a result of their struggle to live, Iranian widows suffer from physical and emotional problems such as cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, and stress headaches.
Furthermore, socioeconomic disparities such as prostitution and begging are on the rise in Iran. This is due to an increase in divorce rates, a fall in the average age of divorced women, high living costs, and unemployment issues. On July 22, 2020, state-run asriran.com reported.
(PMOI / MEK Iran) and (NCRI): The inaction of the judiciary and law enforcement agencies in the face of domestic violence against a woman provoked the anger and disgust of the Iranian people.
The regime has never sought to improve women's employment opportunities or remove barriers to their social and political engagement, and it has no intention of doing so in the future. Instead, its propaganda paints it as a biassed and reckless preacher who promotes early marriage and childbirth.
With its vast cultural diversity, Iran's best hope for saving its widows is to address the problem at its source: overthrowing the misogynistic mullahs.
(NCRI) and (PMOI / MEK Iran): Increasing number of women peddlers – Our children are suffering from hunger.

CEBS publishes consultation paper on options and national discretions in the CRD.
The Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS) today starts a public consultation on its proposals on options and national discretions in the Capital Requirements Directive as part of developing its response to the European Commission's Call for Technical Advice (No. 10). The consultation is open to all interested parties, including supervised institutions and other market participants.
This consultation paper sets out CEBS's preliminary proposals on the future treatment of options and national discretions identified in its supervisory disclosure framework and some additional provisions that could potentially be construed as national discretions identified by market participants in their responses to CEBS's public questionnaire. When elaborating its views, CEBS has benefited from the input already provided by responses to its public questionnaire and in regular meetings with experts representing a broad range of market participants.
In keeping with the European Commission's better regulation agenda, the preliminary proposals presented are supported by a high level impact assessment/cost-benefit analysis.
CEBS is proposing to keep as a national discretion approximately one fifth of the 152 provisions covered in its analysis, albeit where possible with accompanying proposals to alleviate any negative side effects of these national discretions. In any event, it should be noted that more than one third of these national discretions will expire within a relatively short period. For the other discretions, which form the large majority, CEBS is proposing solutions that it believes can bring about further harmonization of supervisory practices and levelling of the playing field among institutions. Within this group, CEBS is proposing in approximately a quarter of the cases either to keep them or to transform them into supervisory decisions to be implemented and applied on a case by case basis. CEBS believes its proposals strike the right balance between the prudential concerns of its members, the flexibility supervisors need to perform their duties and the interests of domestic and cross-border institutions.
CEBS submits its initial proposals for a public consultation which starts today and runs until 15 August 2008. Early responses will be greatly appreciated and late responses will not be considered. Comments received will be published on CEBS's website unless respondents explicitly request otherwise. Please send your comments to the following e-mail address: cp18@c-ebs.org.
The standard consultation period has been slightly shortened as a result of the tight deadline CEBS is facing to develop its advice. The European Commission expects CEBS to deliver its final advice by October 2008.
A public hearing will take place on 17 June 2008 at CEBS's premises in order to allow all interested parties to present their comments to CEBS.
Consultation Paper: CP18
