At Kemple Gormley Solicitors, we have a dedicated debt recovery team that can assist you to recover unpaid monies that are due to you. We act on behalf of a number of clients in respect of collection of outstanding debts and we have a high success rate for those clients.
With considerable debt recovery experience, the team at Kemple Gormley Solicitors have both the skill and expertise to deal with your debtors in an effective and efficient manner. Once you decide to engage our services, we will be the direct line of communication for the debtor from commencement of proceedings to enforcement of judgment. Alternatively, in the event your debtor concedes to repayment of their debts prior to judgment, we will coordinate payment plans and draft settlement agreements. This ultimately relieves you of the time wastage associated with unsuccessful debt recovery attempts.
Adaptability to last minute instructions. Kemple Gormley Solicitors are flexible in relation to our clients' needs and are mindful of matters that require a higher level of urgency.
Once you send us the information required to open a file, the first step is to send a 7 day letter to the debtor in question. This letter outlines the sum that is owing and requests payment in full within 7 days, failing which, proceedings will issue. Often, this letter is all that will be required to prompt payment or contact from the debtor. However, in some cases, further steps will be necessary.
Depending on the sum owing, the next step is to issue a Claim Notice/Civil Bill/Summary Summons.
A Claim Notice is issued in the District Court for debts up to the sum of €15,000.00. A Claim Notice will contain details of the Claimant (the person/company that the debt is owed to), the Respondent (the person or entity that owes the debt), details of the amount of the debt and how the debt has been calculated and details of how the debt arose. A Claim Notice must be drafted and then sent to the relevant District Court Office to be issued. Once issued, the Claim Notice will be returned to the Solicitor's office and the next step is to serve the Claim Notice on the Respondent.
Once the Claim Notice is returned to the Solicitor's office, the Claim Notice will be served on the Respondent, this means that the Claim Notice will be sent by post or by personal delivery to the Respondent, depending on the circumstances.
Once the Claim Notice has been served on the Respondent, the Respondent will have 28 days to send an Appearance and Defence to the Claimant/Solicitor for the Claimant. A copy of the Appearance must also be sent to the relevant court office. If an Appearance and Defence is entered, the case will be set down for hearing. There may be other steps to be taken before this stage but this depends on the case at hand.
If an appearance is not entered, the Claimant/Claimant's Solicitor can lodge Judgment papers in the District Court office and Judgment can be obtained.
A Civil Bill is issued in the Circuit Court for debts of €15,001.00 to €75,000.00. The procedure is much the same as the Claim Notice procedure in the District Court. Firstly, a Civil Bill is issued. Once served on the Defendant (the party that owns the debt), the Defendant has 10 days in which to file an Appearance and a further 10 days from filing of Appearance in which to file a Defence, the period allowed in practice is generally somewhat longer. If an Appearance and Defence is not filed, or if just an Appearance is filed no Defence, the Plaintiff (the party that the debt is owed to) or Solicitor for the Plaintiff can file Judgment papers in the court office and obtain Judgment. If an Appearance and Defence is filed, the matter will be set down for hearing. Depending on the case at hand, there may be some further steps to be taken before the matter goes to hearing.
A Summary Summons is issued in the High Court for debts of over €75,000.00. The procedure in the High Court is to issue a Summary Summons and serve this on the defendant. The Defendant then has 12 days in which to enter an Appearance, the period allowed in practice is generally somewhat longer. If an Appearance is entered, the next step is for the Defendant to issue a Defence. If a Defence is entered, the matter will be set down for hearing after a number of other steps have been carried out. If an Appearance is not entered or if an Appearance only is entered and not followed up with a Defence, the Plaintiff, or Solicitor for the Plaintiff can apply for Judgment after a number of steps are followed.
This will result in the judgment being published in trade gazettes and will appear on searches should the defendant be attempting to obtain a mortgage.
The decree can be sent to the Sheriff for execution against goods. In practice, what happens here is that initially, the Sheriff's office will send a letter to the defendant outlining that they intend to call to their premises and calling upon them to pay the balance owing on foot of the judgment. In some cases, this letter alone will prompt some response and/or payment from the debtor. If nothing is received on foot of this letter, some Sheriff's will send another letter. The number of letters sent can vary between the different counties. Once a number of letters has been sent, and if no response is received, the Sheriff will then call to the house of the defendant, requesting payment and if no payment should be received they then explain to the defendant that they will be proceeding perhaps on the next occasion that they call to seize goods from the defendant's premises. Generally, at this stage, there will be some offer of payment made from the defendant or some contact with their office or our office.
If the debtor is an individual, it is open to the plaintiff to issue an Examination Summons before the debtor's local District Court. The debtor must produce a Statement of Means, which is a statement outlining the debtor's income and expenditure, together with supporting documentation to support the figures outlined therein. The debtor can then be cross-examined on foot of the information provided in the Statement of Means. The Judge may make an instalment order requiring the debtor to pay off the debt by certain instalments, either on a weekly or a monthly basis. Should the debtor breach the instalment order, it is open to the plaintiff to apply to have the debtor committed to prison for breaching the Court Order.
If the debtor owns property within the State, the plaintiff may register the judgement as a mortgage against the property. Thereafter, the plaintiff may issue proceedings seeking an order for the sale of the property. However, it should be noted that it would be unusual to obtain an order for sale of the property unless the judgement mortgage was for quite a substantial sum. Please also note that if there is a charge registered with a lending institution over the property, and the lending institution sell the property as mortgagee in possession, they can effectively delete any judgment mortgages that are registered after their charge.

When we start gaining weight, there is something wrong with our calorie diet, or low carb diet.
Most of us tend to be quite sedentary, working in an office, driving to and from work, and sitting more on the couch at home, in front of the TV.
So, our requirements for calories is quite low, because we don't have when and where to burn too many of them.
But, on the contrary, we tend to eat all the wrong things. We enjoy fast food, highly processed foods, junk foods, sodas, sweets, and so on. Which contain a lot of sugar and fats, much more than we need for producing energy.
Practically, we consume a lot of calories not burned, due to our lifestyle. The calories that are not consumed ending up being our fat deposits.
A lot of people, at the moment they realize that they have exceeded their normal weight, will start reducing the food, thinking that eating less will solve their problem.
So, they end up having one meal per day, not succeeding to lose any weight this way.
To their surprise, they will end up gaining, even more, weight.
You see, when the body isn't fed, it will tend to make its reserves, to be prepared for harsh days.
So, the result will be even bigger fat deposits and more weight gain.
Thus, you will need to adjust the diet and not starve yourself, if you want to lose weight.
A low carb diet is a good way to start. It will lower the number of calories you intake every day.
Keep in mind that there isn't a general diet that works for everybody.
The diet should be adjusted according to your lifestyle and your body. Sometimes more than one try being necessary to get the right diet.
You should also consider a low carb diet, although you should not get rid of fats completely.
You should switch unhealthy fats with the healthy fats, like the ones you find in olive oil, avocado, raw seeds and nuts, and fish, such as salmon.
They should still be a part of your diet because your body needs them to function properly.
The main idea is to have balanced and regular meals, giving your body all the nutrients it needs. To keep its health and energy, while still losing weight.
Once your body will regularly receive the required nutrients, it will naturally go towards a healthy weight.
Of course, you will need to change your lifestyle a little, introducing physical exercises. Because a human's body is for to travel and be on the move.
So the combination of a healthy diet and exercises should get you the results you want.
Still, do have in mind that a healthy weight loss will be gradual and steady, not miracles that happen overnight.
You may also have in mind that a low carb diet plan means no sugars and starches, such as bread and pasta.
So your diet should consist mainly of healthy whole foods, like vegetables, fruits, beans, legumes, and, once in a while, lean meat.

Mark Douglas: Maverick Hatem Ben Arfa is killing Alan Pardew softly
by MarkDouglas
The fascination with Hatem Ben Arfa says more about what Newcastle United are missing than what the player can contribute, argues Mark Douglas
Scott Heavey/Getty Images
Hatem Ben Arfa of Newcastle United
Sometimes it feels like Premier League management resembles a Chinese fingertrap – the harder you work to try to put it right, the tighter the vice around your neck becomes.
Alan Pardew is working hard right now: desperately trying to convince anyone in sight that he deserves a chance to rehabilitate both his own and Newcastle United's reputation next season. There is a lot of talk, plenty of theories and a lot of different systems and configurations as he tries to catch a break. Each one only seems to succeed in hammering another dent in the theory that he is the man to take the club forward.
On Monday, despite evidence to the contrary, he insisted United had played well at Arsenal. All the while, Hatem Ben Arfa was killing him softly in a Quayside hotel in an interview that was set up by a PR agency who used to manage David Beckham's brand.
It was a cute move by Ben Arfa, who circumnavigated United's self-imposed media blackout on their squad to return his name to the top of the black-and-white agenda. Try as he might, Pardew cannot lance the Ben Arfa-shaped boil that has grown since Yohan Cabaye left for Paris with the last vestiges of Newcastle's creativity with him.
Say what you will about the Frenchman, but he is acutely aware of our ongoing fascination with him. The Journal alone has published 611 articles that feature him prominently since he joined the club in 2010, which is some ratio for a midfielder who has started just 55 games for Newcastle and had a direct influence on even fewer.
Having worked with him day-in and day-out, Pardew and his players probably wander what all the fuss is about. The last time he started, at Southampton, he was whipped off after 45 minutes and it felt as if Pardew was giving the midfielder the rope with which to hang himself.
But it misses the point, doesn't it? Ben Arfa's name does not ring out from the away end at the Emirates because of any great contribution he has made in the last six months.
It is what he represents they're calling for: that dash of creativity, the frisson of excitement and electricity that has been singularly missing from Newcastle for most of the Pardew years. On his day Ben Arfa is a class act but there is no room for mavericks in Pardew's set-up – and not really much hope these days either.
The harder Pardew has tried to make his Newcastle side compact and resolute the worse it has become in recent weeks. Every week after each of the six defeats he has drawn up a new plan but they all seem to centre around stopping the opposition from running through his team so easily. Whatever happened to other teams worrying about Newcastle?
I don't doubt that Ben Arfa can be a nightmare. I'm sure he can be unmanageable, moody and impossible at times. He's probably not that popular with some of his team-mates either. Joey Barton was too though, and Pardew managed to accommodate him – even when it became quite blindingly obvious that he had talked his way out of favour with Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias. "I want him to stay," the manager said about Barton in the summer of 2011 – not words you're likely to hear about Ben Arfa. Yet I know who the better, more imaginative player is.
A lot of water has passed under the bridge since Pardew arrived at Newcastle promising an attacking team to get supporters off their feet. These days managing Newcastle seems like a damage-limitation exercise from a manager working furiously to stem the avalanche that is heading his way.

As part of London Design Week 2014 I was commissioned to deliver a workshop with the Victoria & Albert Museum and arts organisation Measure. The workshop formed part of a day of lectures and performances inspired by the ninety year anniversary of the original design for Giles Gilbert Scott's Telephone Box. The event functioned both as a celebration of an iconic emblem of 20th century street furniture, and the genius who created it.
The workshop involved participants creating their own scaled down models of the box. By constructing replicas of the original design, visitors were encouraged to consider the simplicity and three dimensionality of Scott's creation. The finished boxes also served as souvenirs of the event for visitors to take home.


I'm a parent of three grown kids and a former coach for educators. While mentoring new teachers during their first year of teaching, I discovered something surprising.
The same coaching strategies I used to equip teachers to thrive in the classroom were just as effective for guiding my own young adults to solve their own problems and reach their full potential.
I was so grateful for a game plan that equipped me to transition from "parenting" my young adults to coaching them. These techniques were so life-changing that I just had to share them with you.
By using them, I learned how to empower my young adults to launch successfully while developing a closer relationship with them in the process.
I can help you do the same thing too!

Google Chromecast Now Available in Canada!
You no longer have to try and get a friend or relative to pick up a Google Chromecast for you when travelling in the US any longer. Google announced today that starting today (March 19, 2014) the Chromecast device will be available in Canada for 39.00. You will be able to purchase the Chromecast through the Google Play store and at http://amazon.ca (be careful of the listing though as I saw one today for 48.00 being sold by another company). No word if Best Buy will be selling it in Canada like they do in the US. If you are not familiar with the Chromecast it is a small HDMI dongle that plugs into your TV and allows for streaming from apps like Netflix, Google Play Movies and Google Play Music to your TV.
I have been using a few of these since September and they are great little devices for the price. Not as functional as an Apple TV but if you are not a part of the Apple Ecosystem and use Android devices this may be the answer for you.
I wrote a small review of the device a while ago especially detailing what it is and what it isn't that can be read here. One thing that has changed since I first wrote this review is that Google released a Chromecast SDK to other developers. We are starting to see other applications that can cast video, music and pictures from your mobile device to your TV using the Chromecast. One in particular AllCast works very well and Plex has opened up Chromecast support on all of their apps and not just to PlexPass subscribers . To keep track of all of the latest apps available for Chromecast I highly suggest getting the free app Cast store for the Google play store.
The basic functionality of the Chromecast hasn't changed a lot with the release of the SDK except that you can now send content from your mobile device to the device with Chromecast enabled apps. The device and your Chromecast still have to be on the same network and you can't use services or VPNs to get around Geo IP restrictions. You also can't mirror devices to the Chromecast like you can do with an iPad and an Apple TV although a developer thinks he can do it using the SDK.


Eagle Farm is Queensland's premier track and home to the large part of Brisbane's Winter carnival. Since its foundation in 1865, Eagle Farm racecourse has cemented itself as one of Australia's premium tracks. It now hosts the Brisbane Cup, QLD Derby, Sir Byrne Hart Stakes and the Stradbroke.
The Eagle Farm track has been controlled by the Brisbane Racing Club (BRC) since July 1, 2009. The BRC was born out of a merger between the Brisbane Turf Club and the Queensland Turf Club.
The racecourse is located on over 60 hectares of land in Ascot, just 8 kilometres from Brisbane's CBD and only 6 kilometres from Brisbane Airport. Like those in New South Wales, Eagle Farm is a right handed (or clockwise) track. It has a circumference of 2027 metres and a 434 metre long straight. Eagle Farm racecourse is used for flat racing and has a grass surface with a woodfibre and sand composite underlay.
Eagle Farm racecourse is a turf track that is known for its ability to be an all seasons course that can cope with all weather conditions. This, along with Eagle Farm's heritage listed buildings and exquisite gardens, makes Eagle Farm an ideal track for some of the greatest horse racing Australia has to offer.

Warren's wealth tax is not the answer to society's problems, says billionaire David Rubenstein
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren's wealth tax would not generate enough money to make a dent in income inequality, said David Rubenstein, the billionaire co-founder of private equity powerhouse The Carlyle Group.
"I don't think all of a sudden a wealth tax, for example, would solve all of our society's problems, if one could ever actually be implemented," Rubenstein told CNBC's Leslie Picker on Tuesday from the Greenwich Economic Forum.
"If you tax the upper income, there aren't enough of those people to really make a wealth distribution effect that's going to be significant. There just aren't enough highly wealthy people," he added.
The Warren campaign was not immediately available to respond to CNBC's request for comment on Rubenstein's remarks.
The progressive Warren — running second in the Real Clear Politics national polling average — is proposing a 2% tax on household net worth above $50 million and a 6% tax on net worth over $1 billion. That, along with changing how investment gains are taxed for the top 1 percent of households, would generate more than $3 trillion over 10 years according to analysis from the New York Times.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, a democratic socialist, also supports a wealth tax. Joe Biden, the centrist former vice president who remains the frontrunner, has vowed to repeal tax cuts for the wealthy but has not called for a wealth tax.
Rubenstein, a major philanthropist, is one of the signatories to the Giving Pledge, which was created by Bill Gates and his wife Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett to get the ultra-wealthy to give away more than half of their fortunes to charity. Rubenstein, for example, matched federal funding of $7.5 million to expedite the renovation of the Washington Monument after damage from a rare D.C.-area quake in August 2011.
Billionaire investor Leon Cooperman, tearing up in a Monday interview on CNBC talking about the political divide and the American Dream, cited Rubenstein in his argument against the policies of Warren.
"I don't need Elizabeth Warren telling me that I'm a deadbeat and that billionaires are deadbeats. The vilification of billionaires makes no sense to me. The world is a substantially better place because of Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg, David Rubenstein, Bernie Marcus, Ken Langone," Cooperman said, echoing an argument he made in a letter to the Massachusetts senator last week, in which he praised the philanthropic efforts of some of the aforementioned business luminaries.
Reacting to Cooperman's comments, Rubenstein said, "He's a very smart man," but added, "taxes are a different issue than philanthropy." The Carlyle Group co-executive chairman acknowledged, "Taxes in the United States are not completely fair for anyone," but reiterated that a wealth tax is not the answer.
Over the years, Rubenstein has donated to both Democratic and Republican candidates and causes.

OPEN auditions are being held to refresh the ranks of actors and actresses at Goodwood Revival and other events.
The Goodwood Actors Guild was established ten years ago in response to a growing demand for performers at the motorsport circuit, in particular at Revival.
Theatrical curator Sue O'Donoghue said: "We are now finding that we need to refresh our ranks, as many of our actors have moved on, many to successful careers in the entertainment industry.
"One of our original Just William boys had his debut at the National Theatre last year. I was like a proud mum!
The open auditions will be held in the ballroom of Goodwood House on Thursday, January 28, from 3.30pm to 8pm. People can just turn up and be seen without needing to book a time slot.
Auditions will take the form of an improvised performance from a choice of roles. They should take no longer than 15 to 20 minutes and people will be seen in order of arrival.
Talented actors and performers of all ages are invited and successful applicants will be signed to a casual contract.
Guild members perform at many events throughout the year, including Goodwood Revival, Festival of Speed and Glorious Goodwood.
The guild is becoming increasingly known for film and TV work, providing supporting artistes in the past 18 months for a Jaguar commercial with David Beckham and a major set piece filmed for Downton Abbey.
Originally, volunteers and students from the performing arts department at Chichester College were used at Goodwood.
Sue said: "We came to the realisation that we needed a wider range of characters, types and ages if we were to truly represent the 'magical step back in time' for which Revival is now famous.
"We also wanted to put the whole thing on a more professional footing, using trained actors and paying them a salary. This raised the quality of the work and ensured real commitment from the actors.
"The Goodwood Actors Guild now has well over 400 people on its books, the youngest being less than a year old and the oldest well into his 80s. We perform all over the estate, logging 84 performance dates in the calendar in 2015.
"Our work ranges from a couple of models for a photoshoot, to 60-plus supporting artistes for an episode of Downton Abbey, to 200 to 300 actors working the three days of Revival.
Email sue.odonoghue@goodwood.com for more information about the auditions.

New insight uncovered into one of the most important features of hearing
Integrative Neuroscience Publication Research
Dr Kerry Walker and her team help us to better understand how we perceive pitch, a feature of hearing critical to recognising communication through sound, such as speech and music.
"Pitch" refers to our experience of the tonal quality of sound on a low-to-high musical scale, and it is one of the most behaviourally important features of hearing.
Animal models allow us to better understand the brain mechanisms responsible for experiencing a perception of pitch, but we currently have a poor understanding of the extent to which these mechanisms are conserved across species.
In a new study published in eLife, Dr Walker and her team have uncovered key differences in the way that pitch is extracted from sound waves in humans and non-human animals. Using behavioural tasks, their research shows that ferrets primarily derive pitch from the temporal properties of sounds, while human listeners depend more on the sound's frequency content. They also apply computational models to explain how these species differences can result from mechanisms in the inner ear.
The full study, "Across-species differences in pitch perception are consistent with differences in cochlear filtering," is available to read here.
New BBSRC grant to further our insights into how the cortex controls sleep
Professor of Sleep Physiology Vladyslav Vyazovskiy and Professor of Developmental Neuroscience Zoltán Molnár have been awarded a Project Grant from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) for "Brain mechanisms of sleep: top-down or bottom-up?"
Raised intracellular chloride levels underlie the effects of tiredness in cortex
A new study, co-authored by Professor Vladyslav Vyazovskiy, published in Nature Neuroscience, has revealed that intracellular chloride levels within cortical pyramidal neurons reflect sleep–wake history.
Key cause of type 2 diabetes uncovered
Research led by Dr Elizabeth Haythorne and Professor Frances Ashcroft reveals high blood glucose reprograms the metabolism of pancreatic beta-cells in diabetes. They have discovered that glucose metabolites, rather than glucose itself, are key to the progression of type 2 diabetes. Glucose metabolites damage pancreatic beta-cell function, so they are unable to release enough of the hormone insulin. Reducing the rate at which glucose is metabolised, and these glucose metabolites build up, can prevent the effects of hyperglycaemia.
New study shows clinical symptoms for Alzheimer's can be predicted in preclinical models
Establishing preclinical models of Alzheimer's that reflect in-life clinical symptoms of each individual is a critically important goal, yet so far it has not been fully realised. A new collaborative study from the University of Oxford has demonstrated that clinical vulnerability to an abnormally abundant protein in Alzheimer's brain is in fact reflected in individual patient induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cortical neurons.

        }
 ]
}

This is my ViewController code:

import UIKit
import Alamofire
import SwiftyJSON

class ViewController:UIViewController {
    @IBOutlet weak var tblJSON: UITableView!

    var arrRes = [[String : AnyObject]]()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        getRequest()
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

    func getRequest() {
        Alamofire.request("http://api.androidhive.info/contacts").responseJSON { (responseData) -> Void in
            if ((responseData.result.value) != nil) {
                let swiftyJsonVar = JSON(responseData.result.value!)

                if  let resData = swiftyJsonVar["contacts"].arrayObject {
                    self.arrRes = resData as! [[String : AnyObject]]
                }

                if self.arrRes.count > 0 {
                    self.tblJSON.reloadData()
                }
            }
        }
    }

    //MARK: tableView
    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return arrRes.count
    }

    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell : UITableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell")!
        var dict = arrRes[indexPath.row]
        cell.textLabel?.text = dict["name"] as? String
        cell.detailTextLabel?.text = dict["email"] as? String
        return cell
    }

}

I have trouble displaying result on the UITableView.
Can anyone help me? Thanks!

A: You need to implement UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate like this
class ViewController:UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate

and in viewDidLoad you need to assign DataSource and Delegate to your tableView like this
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    tblJSON.dataSource = self
    tblJSON.delegate = self
    getRequest()
}

Today, local farmers Nolan and Marvin Birt of Marvin's garden came to the Trailside lunch room to have lunch with the kids. This fall, Marvin's Garden supplied Park City elementary schools with produce for our taste tests. It was great to connect the kids with local farmers; we are helping our kids gain a deeper understanding of where our food comes from, and what healthy food choices are.

Srinivas obtained his Ph.D. from The University of Texas at Austin and then joined Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center as an American Cancer Society Fellow with Dr. Joan Massague. At MSKCC, he developed novel models of lung and breast adenocarcinomas to study metastatic latency. Latent metastasis is the least studied and decisive phase of the metastatic cascade. Cancer cells in this state are resistant to conventional or targeted therapies that are directed towards proliferating cancer cells.
Therefore, identifying cellular and molecular determinants of metastatic latency will open a major untapped opportunity to prevent metastasis. Dr. Malladi's lab in the Department of Pathology is focused on understanding how disseminated cancer cells survive and give rise to metastasis at a cellular and molecular level using an integrated approach.


Welcome, New Readers!	Didn't See THESE In Hanover . . .
I choose BBQ flavor for my prize. You have my mailing address.
Great entry, Tony! My daughter was excited to see the Utz Crab Chips being made; she and my son-in-law are addicted to Old Bay seasoning and use it on everything, including microwave popcorn.
If I'm not mistaken, Edward Teasedale (a little know casualty of the Alamo) was interred beneath the floorboards of the old Utz factory. Perhaps that's why the place reminded you of it. Nice piece, btw.
Thanks! Great piece of little-known history! I wanted to see if there was a basement to that factory; if so, there's a solid chance that PeeWee Herman's flashy bike is there.

Stocks Plummet Again, Triggering Trading Halts
By Bernice Napach | March 12, 2020 at 11:06 AM
Steep drops at the market open followed Trump's address and other virus-related developments Wednesday night.

U.S. stock markets sold off sharply at the open, with major indexes losing 7%, triggering a trading half for 15 minutes. When they reopened, both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 were down slightly more than 7%.
Trading will be halted again if losses reach 13% at any time before 3:25 p.m. Eastern time.
U.S. Treasury yields moved slightly higher with the 10-year at 70 basis points in midmorning trading.
The stock market drop followed swooning European markets and deepening worries about the spread of the novel coronavirus, which the World Health Organization on Wednesday declared a pandemic. The European Central Bank announced measures to support bank lending and expanded its asset purchase program by 120 billion euros ($135.28 billion) but did not announce an interest rate cut.
There was a slew of other news before the U.S. market open, reacting to the pandemic. The National Basketball Association suspended its season, Tom Hanks and his wife reported from Australia they have been infected with the coronavirus and, most importantly, President Donald Trump addressed the nation with his response to the scourge.
Trump announced a $5 billion expansion in Small Business Administration loans to small businesses in need of liquidity deferral of tax payments "for certain individuals and businesses negatively impacted" by the virus, a renewed call for Congress to approve an "immediate payroll tax cut" and a 30-day ban on travelers from Europe for the next 30 days, excluding travelers from the U.K. He later clarified that the ban doesn't apply to goods or to American citizens.
The European Commission, the governing body of the European Union, sharply criticized the move. "The coronavirus is a global crisis, not limited to any continent and it requires cooperation rather than unilateral action," it said. "The European Union disapproves of the fact that the U.S. decision to impose a travel ban was taken unilaterally and without consultation."
Trump did not propose more immediate policies that could slow the spread of the virus such as guaranteed sick pay, which Democrats in Congress and Wall Street strategists have proposed.
Markets apparently were disappointed. "Equity markets are pessimistic today and volatility is elevated," said UBS Global Wealth Management's Chief Investment Officer Mark Haefele.

I am pleased to be doing a guest post here for a few times over the next couple of weeks as Aimee takes some much needed vacation time!
I am Katie from Belles Lettres Designs. I specialize in wedding calligraphy and I am based in Los Angeles, CA. You can visit my website here and my blog here... or you can stop by my Etsy shop.
Calligraphy has an interesting place in today's culture and events. In history it was sometimes the only means of writing and was done with a quill or other type of pen and took various forms.
Today calligraphy is somewhat of an unknown thing as we have many other wonderful means of writing and communicating... sometimes we need to add the beauty of detail, flourishes and uniqueness to our events however. This is when calligraphy is most useful.
The main use of calligraphy in my business is for wedding invitations. Mostly for envelope addressing, invitation design and return addresses. It is always the best start to your wedding to have a hand-written invitation that had time, effort, and beauty poured into it.
The thing I most like is that you can really accomplish whatever style you want to in calligraphy. You are not bound to a font that someone else created. It has been essential for me as I have learned from some of the nation's top calligraphers to first learn the basic hands (styles, fonts). However, this is just the foundation as a springboard to more creativity.
I am so grateful to be doing something that I enjoy and get to work with wonderful brides that are in one of the best seasons of life!

Home Black Lives Matter New law makes it harder for families to access police body-cam footage

New law makes it harder for families to access police body-cam footage
Sayaka Matsuoka
A new state law that went into effect on Dec. 1 has made it more difficult to view police body-worn camera footage in instances of death or serious bodily injury. Prior to the law's passage, which took place in September, families of victims of police violence and those caught on footage could appeal directly to the law enforcement agency that had been involved. However, the signing of SB 300, otherwise known as the "Criminal Justice Reform Bill," has made it so that families must now petition the courts to be able to view the footage. The law also only applies to the worst types of recordings involving those "related to death or serious bodily injury."
According to the law, those wishing to view body-worn camera footage must fill out a notarized form provided by the law enforcement agency and then turn that form into the agency, at which point agency officials will file a petition in Superior Court. The court has seven days to review the recordings and make a decision on whether or not to release the footage to the petitioner.
"This is unnecessarily restrictive and it creates an additional hurdle that impedes the spirit of transparency that these body-worn camera laws were enacted to address," said Kami Chavis, a law professor and director of the criminal justice program at Wake Forest University.
The change to the body-worn camera footage disclosure is embedded within the omnibus law which includes items such as a database for decertified law enforcement officers and limits to local laws that criminalize poverty.
Joe Lopez, whose son Joseph Thomas Lee Lopez was shot and killed by a Greensboro police officer on Nov. 19, said he didn't know about the law change until recently. After a Greensboro officer called to tell him his son had been killed on Nov. 20, he reached out to a State Bureau of Investigation officer to ask to see the body-worn camera footage but said he never heard back.
"I made a request to the detective of the SBI, and he told me he was going to look into that," Lopez said. "And the other detective of the Greensboro Police Department never gave me a chance."
Joe Lopez kneels next to his son Joseph Lopez's grave on Dec. 6.

Three weeks later, his father says he needs to know why his son was killed. (photo by Sayaka Matsuoka)
According to Greensboro Mayor Nancy Vaughan, Lopez did not make a direct request to the Greensboro Police Department prior to the new law taking effect.
"I believe he called the SBI, and they referred him to Greensboro, but we do not have a request on file at all," Vaughan said in an interview on Friday.
Vaughan noted that because Lopez's death occurred on Nov. 19, his father would have been able to view the footage if he had made a request prior to Dec. 1 when the new law took effect. Now, Lopez will have to go through a judge. The issue with this, Chavis said, is that it puts an extra burden on victims and their families.
"I see no reason why a family member who is alleging that their family member was shot or killed or seriously injured by police should have to go through an additional hurdle of going through a court," Chavis said. "This, to me, seems so unnecessary and absurd."
And even if families petition a judge, they could decline their request to see the footage.
Lopez, who said he will continue to fight for justice for his son's case, said he doesn't know why a judge would do that.
"I don't see why he would do that," Lopez said. "I just want to know what happened to my son."

Dagashi is cheap snacks loved by the common people of Japan since long ago. In Japan, both children and adults enjoy dagashi, which reminds them of the good old days.
Dagashi come in many different flavors, sweet, spicy, sour, or salty. Out of the hundreds of kinds of dagashi, we carry an assortment of the kinds popular among foreigners.
Dagashi used to be sold in traditional stores specializing primarily in Dagashi called "Dagashiya".
Traditional dagahiyas have been declining rapidly.
However, Dagashi and Dagashiyas have attained more attention in Japanese pop culture with the release of the anime Dagashi Kashi.
The anime covers some of the most popular Dagashi, as well as more obscure kinds.

Bishop Michael J. Sheridan on the Issues
Viganò testimony
Not enough evidence collected on this issue
In a September 2018 interview, Bishop Sheridan stated that he cannot answer to the "authenticity and accuracy" of Archbishop Vigano's testimony. However, Sheridan believes "we should get to the bottom of it" and investigate the claims made by Vigano. (Diocese of Colorado Springs)
Pro-life leadership
Actively engages in pro-life leadership
Bishop Sheridan serves on the advisory board of Priests for Life, a pro-life organization of Catholic priests (Priests for Life)
During an interview with Ignatius Insight in 2004, Bishop Sheridan said there are four "non-negotiables" Catholics cannot vote for – abortion, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, and same-sex "marriage." (Ignatius Insight)
Abortion politics
Upholds Church teaching on abortion politics
On June 18, 2018, Bishop Sheridan urged his 3,000 twitter followers to sign a petition to the Trump administration to ensure that abortion is separated from the federal Title X family planning program. (Twitter)
In a 2012 interview with the Colorado Spring Gazette, Sheridan said that a Catholic politician who publicly supports abortion and gay marriage should not receive Holy Communion until they recant their positions. He also stated that if Joe Biden attended one of his masses he would let him know he should not receive the Eucharist. (The Gazette)
In 2008, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi said Catholic teaching allows for abortion in some circumstances. Bishop Sheridan strongly rebuked Pelosi in a statement, saying that Pelosi is "simply wrong" and that her "outrageous" claim should be disregarded by every faithful Catholic. "All other rights are useless if one is denied the right to live," he wrote. (Priests for Life)
Bishp Sheridan was grilled by CNN's Anderson Cooper in 2004 for instructing Catholics not to vote for pro-abortion, pro-homosexual politicians. Sheridan stood his ground during the interview and said Catholics who vote for gay "marriage" and abortion are "complicit" in that behavior and must refrain from approaching the Holy Communion until they have gone to confession and reconciled themselves to the Church. (CNN)
Faithful to Church teaching on contraception
Bishop Sheridan told LifeSiteNews in 2007 that he would not allow Catholic hospitals in his diocese to provide the Plan B "morning after" abortifacient pill even for rape victims. Sheridan said he would consider having the Church pull out of hospitals rather than compromise the faith if the law required them to provide Plan B. (LifeSiteNews)
"LGBT" ideology
Upholds Church teaching on marriage and family life
In the mid 2000s, Bishop Sheridan began requiring Natural Family Planning courses for marriage prep instruction, making the Diocese of Colorado Springs one of the first diocese's in the country to implement NFP coursework. (USCCB)
In a 2004 interview on CNN with Anderson Cooper, Bishop Sheridan said Catholics who vote for euthanasia and embryonic stem cell research are "complicit" in that behavior and must refrain from approaching the Holy Communion until they have gone to confession and reconciled themselves to the Church. (LifeSiteNews)
In 2006, Bishop Sheridan endorsed Tradition, Family and Property's campaign against The Da Vinci Code. Sheridan called the movie a "blasphemous attack" against the Catholic Church and "the truths of our faith." (Tradition, Family and Property)

With Eavesdropping and Snooping for All, an OtherWords cartoon by Khalil Bendib
Tech Titans Must Do More than Criticize NSA Snooping
A free and open Internet requires privacy for those who want it and openness for everyone.
By Josh Levy	| April 2, 2014
In the 21st century, technology companies like Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Yahoo are the ubiquitous faces of corporate power.
In the last quarter of 2013 alone, these five companies totaled $104 billion in revenue and made $17.5 billion in profits — with Apple lapping up the bulk of that haul. Yes, $17.5 billion, more than Albania's gross domestic product, in just three months.
Think about it: Tech giants are making mountains of money and employing hundreds of thousands of people in the service of building and maintaining the fundamental communications platforms of our time. A handful of for-profit, publicly traded entities are the stewards of our public and private conversations.
When it suits them — and when events affect their bottom line — these companies like to make a stink about democracy and free speech. After humblebragging about calling President Barack Obama to complain about NSA snooping, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg delivered a paean to the Internet's utopian spirit:
Together, we can build a space that is greater and a more important part of the world than anything we have today, but is also safe and secure. I'm committed to seeing this happen, and you can count on Facebook to do our part.
But while Facebook claims to take seriously the security concerns of its billion-plus users, it's also in the business of mining and exploiting its customers' data.
"The existence of these giant databases of our everyday lives is a threat," technology columnist Dan Gillmor argued in response to Zuckerberg's post, "because history suggests that what can be misused ultimately will be misused."
Gillmor recommends that Facebook offer a paid service ("Facebook Pro") that allows users to opt out of data-collection schemes and uses strong encryption. This is a great idea — except that consumers shouldn't have to pay extra to secure their privacy.
"I don't think we can have a democracy if we're having to protect you and our users from the government," Google co-founder Larry Page recently told Charlie Rose.
True enough. But we can't have a democracy if we don't have the option of keeping our online data trails secure from all kinds of snooping, including email-reading algorithms and hidden cookies tracking and analyzing every website we visit.
Facebook, Google, and the rest of the tech titans are big enough that what they do with our data has a direct impact on our civic lives. They're obligated not only to respect our rights but to advocate for them.
Making online services more transparent and secure is a good first step. Yet if we want these companies to truly own up to their role in our culture, we must push them to do much more.
They need to advocate for policies that enable their businesses to flourish, keep us secure, and maintain an open Internet that protects free speech. In the wake of the federal court decision that overturned the Net Neutrality rules, they need to urge the Federal Communications Commission to treat cable and phone companies as common carriers.
Only this classification will give the FCC the authority it needs to stop ISPs from blocking or degrading content and making it even harder (and pricier) for us to get online.
A free and open Internet rests on two pillars: privacy for those who want it and openness for everyone. It's high time the Internet companies start working with the rest of us to protect both.

GIFT OF THE GIVERS INTERNATIONAL KANAZAWA CUP 2011
28 Apr, 2011 in Reading Room by Sylvia F. Hammond
Greetings of Peace
Dear Recipients
Members of SKISA Team South Africa are raring to "Go for Gold" at the forthcoming Gift of the Givers International Kanazawa Cup Tournament scheduled for 30 April 2011 at the Fred Crookes Sports Centre, Durban University of Technology campus.
An important aspect of this tournament is the official launch of Gift of the Givers Japan Earthquake campaign at the event "which promises to be the biggest ever in the history of the tournament; more than 800 of South Africa's best tournament fighters are expected to do battle in the 'Best of the Best' for the Kanazawa Cup individual titles", said Tournament Director Kyoshi Sonny Pillay. All eyes are on Sensei Brando Pillay, SKISA chief coach and a ten time winner of the event.
Teams from Bangladesh, Botswana, DRC and Mozambique have already arrived in Durban for this grand event. More international teams are expected by Friday evening.
The tournament, a major attraction on the South African Karate calendar, is open to all instructors and interested tournament fighters.
Members of the public are welcome to attend and witness discipline, obedience, mind control and physical power at its best.
The Chief Guest is Japanese karate maestro, Shihan Manubu Murakami, (two time world champion), who will be conducting a Masters Camp prior to the competition. Shihan Murakami will also be involved in a Township Development Workshop for 400 disadvantaged children from Inanda, Amouti, Kwa Mashu, Ntuzuma and Phoenix on 3 May 2011. Meals will be provided for the children and each child will receive a shirt and pants set from Gift of the Givers.
Shihan Murakami is the official representative of the 80 year old Grandmaster Kancho Kanazawa and second in command, who will officially carry the message of South African solidarity for Japanese earthquake victims.
Gift of the Givers has already contributed 30 000 USD within 48 hours of the earthquake taking place to the Grandmaster who is responsible for Gift of the Givers relief activities in Japan. (Attached is a profile of the Grandmaster, which is a must read for karate enthusiasts and those wanting to learn more of what is described as the third most supported sporting code in the world).

Police trace Snapchat messages that triggered Emmaus High School closure to student who reported them
By Peter Hall
Police followed a chain of online accounts to the home internet connection of a 14-year-old girl who was among the students who reported a Snapchat threat that prompted Friday's early closing at Emmaus High School, court papers show.
The school was locked down Friday amid nationwide social media threats. It then closed early after students made officials aware of Snapchat messages from a user who described a shooting that was going to happen at the school, including specific times and targets, according to a search warrant filed in district court.
One of the students who showed school officials and police the messages was the girl ultimately arrested Saturday for sending the threat, the court filing says. The girl, identified only by initials in the warrant, is charged with making terroristic threats, police said.
The warrant shows police on Saturday morning searched the Minor Street apartment where the girl lives with a guardian and seized an iPhone, a notebook computer and an internet router.
According to the warrant:
After students reported the threat, Emmaus police requested an emergency disclosure from Snapchat and received information including the email address used to create the account from which the threat was made. The information also showed the account was created about 7:30 a.m. Friday.
The girl charged with making the threat also told officials that the owner of the Snapchat account gave her a phone number to exchange text messages. The number was associated with TextNow, a free text messaging and phone service provider. Police obtained information from TextNow and learned that the email address to register the free phone number was the same address used to create the Snapchat account.
The phone number was created Dec. 8 and was canceled Friday afternoon after Emmaus High School closed for the day, the information showed.
The data provided by TextNow also showed the internet address used to create the account, which police traced to an RCN internet subscription in the name of the girl's guardian, the warrant says. Google provided information that showed the email address used to create the Snapchat and TextNow accounts was associated with the same internet address.
Police said the Lehigh County district attorney's office and the FBI assisted in the investigation, which is ongoing.
Classes at Emmaus High School resumed remotely Monday. A letter from Emmaus High Principal Kate Kieres said police cleared the school for a return to normal operations but said the decision to have students attend classes online was in response to Friday's threat and a shortage of school bus drivers that also affects other schools in the district.
The letter said students would return to classes in the high school Tuesday morning, with help available for those who are concerned following the closure last week.
"We recognize that some students may feel anxious or hesitant about returning to school after Friday's events," Kieres said in the letter. "Counselors and our school psychologist will be available this week — both online and in person — to any student that is having a significant reaction to Friday's events."
