Hemp for Victory 1942 U.S. WWII Propaganda Film and State by State Industrial Hemp Laws
April 22, 2011 March 5, 2012 MontanaBioTech
Hemp for Victory is the BEST pro cannabis propaganda film EVER made, ever! It's obscurity is what makes the film seem like a FAKE. BUT, this is a real film produced by the same government that got rid of cannabis years before its filming. Hemp for Victory is the first look at how ubiquitous cannabis hemp was in the US and around the world. Sit back hit the bong, grab some munchies and enjoy, Hemp for Victory.

DEA and their Definition of HEMP
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) today announced rules to clarify the legal status of "hemp" products. "Hemp" is part of the cannabis plant, which is also known as marijuana. The rules published in today's edition of the Federal Register explain the circumstances under which "hemp" products are subject to control under federal law.
"Hemp" and marijuana are actually separate parts of the species of plant known as cannabis. Under federal law, Congress defined marijuana to focus on those parts of the cannabis plant that are the source of tetrahydrocannabinols (THC). THC is the hallucinogenic substance in marijuana that causes the psychoactive effect or "high." The marijuana portions of the cannabis plant include the flowering tops (buds), the leaves, and the resin of the cannabis plant. The remainder of the plant — stalks and sterilized seeds — is what some people refer to as "hemp." However, "hemp" is not a term that is found in federal law.
DEA Administrator Asa Hutchinson stated that "many Americans do not know that hemp and marijuana are both parts of the same plant and that hemp cannot be produced without producing marijuana."
While most of the THC in cannabis plants is concentrated in the marijuana, all parts of the plant, including hemp, have been found to contain THC. The existence of THC in hemp is significant because THC, like marijuana, is a schedule I controlled substance. Federal law prohibits human consumption and possession of schedule I controlled substances. In addition, they are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for medical use.
The rules that DEA is publishing today explain which hemp products are legal and which are not. This will depend on whether the product causes THC to enter the human body. If the product does cause THC to enter the human body, it is an illegal substance that may not be manufactured, sold, or consumed in the United States. Such products include "hemp" foods and beverages that contain THC.
If, however, the product does not cause THC to enter the human body, it is a noncontrolled substance that may lawfully be sold in the United States. Included in the category of lawful hemp products are textiles, such as clothing made using fiber produced from cannabis plant stalks. Also in the lawful category are personal care products that contain oil from sterilized cannabis seeds, such as soaps, lotions, and shampoos.
In recognition of the fact that there may be a small number of manufacturers and retailers who have inventories of hemp food and beverage products or other products containing THC that are intended for human consumption, DEA is providing a grace period. As set forth in the rules, any person who currently possesses illegal THC-containing "hemp" products will have 120 days (until February 6, 2002) to dispose of such products or remove them from the United States. However, during this grace period, no person may manufacture or distribute any such product for human consumption within the United States.
In issuing these rules, DEA has attempted to strike a fair balance between protecting the health and safety of all Americans and accommodating legitimate industry. The public has 60 days to comment on the rules in the manner set forth in the Federal Register. The rules can be accessed through the web site of the National Archives and Records Administration at www.archives.gov.

Administrator of DEA may exempt from
control ''[a] compound, mixture, or
preparation which contains any
controlled substance, which is not for
administration to a human being or
animal, and which is packaged in such
form or concentration, or with
adulterants or denaturants, so that as
packaged it does not present any
significant potential for abuse.''

Life And Luxury
The AFR's pick of desirable books for Christmas
These recently published tomes do double duty as reference books and coffee-table statement pieces. They also make excellent gifts.
Helena Christensen, Claudia Schiffer, Stephanie Seymour, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell in Hollywood, 1993 for Vogue US. © Herb Ritts Foundation, courtesy Camera Work.
Stephen Clark and Dan F Stapleton
Dec 1, 2021 – 5.00am
After the year we've had, you might want to spend some time browsing in a real-world bookshop. Here's our pick of the biblio beauties in store for you.
A Room of Her Own: Inside the homes and lives of creative women | Robyn Lea (Thames & Hudson, $65)
Australian photographer Robyn Lea's latest book manages to be a World of Interiors-style gawk into 20 extraordinary homes and a rather surprising profile of the women who live in them.
Painter Fiona Corsini's house in Sicily. Robyn Lea
There's a 17th-century Baroque villa in Tuscany owned by two Guinness sisters; Heidi Middleton's all-white Palm Beach home; and a château in Auvergne whose owner is gradually covering the walls with dreamy murals.
Lea presents her subjects as working women, albeit superbly talented and privileged ones. What stops the rest of us from wanting these lucky ladies' heads on a pike are the accounts of the challenges they faced on the road to acquiring their rarefied homes.
Manhattan-based sculptor Lisbeth McCoy, for example, endured a lonely childhood and now uses her historic Cooperstown, New York cottage as a place to decompress. JJ Martin, the founder of uber-hot fashion label La DoubleJ, suffered severe depression after the early deaths of her parents and a long struggle to fall pregnant. Her colourful home in Milan reflects the woman she has become: exuberant, engaged and indomitable.
One of many creative Italians in the book, designer Alice Stori Liechtenstein says she was reluctant to move into her husband's 52-room Austrian schloss. "I could never just see myself sitting on a velvet sofa or taking long walks in the countryside." At that point I admit to thinking: you know what, that wouldn't worry me.
Like that? Try: Rose Uniacke at Home, featuring the celebrated Brit designer known as the 'Queen of serene' and her Pimlico residence. (Hardie Grant, $430)
Sashay away
Captivate! Fashion Photography From the '90s | Curated by Claudia Schiffer (Prestel, $125, distributed by Peribo)
Clockwise from left: Kristy Hume, Nadja Auermann, Nadège du Bospertus, Claudia Schiffer, Carla Bruni, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Shalom Harlow, Brandi Quinones, front. 1994. Michel Comte
The term 'supermodels' evokes a distant time when long-legged glamazons roamed the earth. Linda, Naomi, Cindy, Christy et al didn't wake up for less than $10,000 a day and honestly: why should they! Now the blondest of the species, 'Baby Bardot' Claudia Schiffer, has curated a glam book about that decade of excess.
Claudia Schiffer, Viareggio, Italy, 1989 for Guess Jeans, photographed by Ellen von Unwerth Captivate! published by Prestel
The 1990s were pre-digital, and epic shoots for Italian and American Vogue had budgets that would make today's Insta-stylists faint. Global ad campaigns made Gianni Versace, Karl Lagerfeld and Calvin Klein household names, and the 'supers' along with them.
While the period is undergoing a revival of interest, this tome is all about the photographers. Mario Testino (whose portraits of Princess Diana are some of the loveliest ever taken) is supremely elegant, Helmut Newton's intimidating constructions still intrigue, and the relaxed, all-American style projected by Herb Ritts has spawned a thousand imitations.
Browsing Captivate! you start to see some fascinating anomalies – how the models posed by Peter Lindbergh are dwarfed by the surrounding African landscapes; the inherent minimalism of Richard Avedon's portraits; the echo of '90s grunge in the "dirty realism" pioneered by Juergen Teller.
And another one: Nirvana: Never Mind the Photos features photographer Kirk Weddle's outtakes from the band's iconic 'baby in the water' album cover shoot, 30 years on. (Acc Art Books, $62.95)
McCartney during the recording of London Town, Virgin Islands, 1977. Henry Diltz © MPL Communications Ltd
The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present | Paul McCartney. Edited by Paul Muldoon (Penguin Random House, $155)
"When the broken-hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer / Let it be."
For many of us, Paul McCartney has been part of our lives for all our lives. This compendium of 154 of Sir Paul's lyrics in two hefty volumes is the story of Macca's life through his words. It features unseen photographs, scribbled notes, and memories of the people and places who inspired the songs: Liverpool, his mum and dad, John Lennon, 'lovely Linda' and so on. Even the Queen gets a mention ("Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl, but she doesn't have a lot to say", Abbey Road, 1969).
There's an argument that McCartney is the pre-eminent love poet of our times, but he is also a dramatist on a miniature scale: Eleanor Rigby, Yesterday, Fool On The Hill, She's Leaving Home are remarkable for their swiftly sketched scenarios and characters.
Part of the charm is his embrace of simplicity, such as "Michelle ma belle / These are words that go together well" (1965). I love the propulsive rhythm and the twists and turns of Band On The Run (1974):
"The rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun
And the first one said to the second one there
I hope you're having fun."
It's a given that The Lyrics will be adored by die-hard fans and certified old farts. But given Sir Paul's longevity, poets and singer-songwriters of all ages and abilities will find inspiration in this 960-page beauty. See if you can read it without bursting into song.
Already out: Dolly Parton, Storyteller: My Life in Lyrics came out last year, but we were preoccupied. (Hachette Australia, $65)
Luna Park's iconic face reflected in a puddle, 2005. Robert Pearce
Sydney Lives: The Sydney Morning Herald Celebrates 190 Years | Edited by Mags King (Memento, $129)
American author Mark Twain is purported to have said, "God made the harbour … but Satan made Sydney." I can't say that I've ever seen the horned one in my neck of the woods, but chances are he would have appeared in the social pages of The Sydney Morning Herald if he had. So-called Sin City comes across as rather innocent in the pages of Sydney Lives, a lively photo album of 130 images selected from 113 years of the newspaper's archives by SMH photo editor Mags King.
It shows us a place we know well and simultaneously don't know at all, from the Harbour Bridge in 1931 before the road was poured; laughing flappers at Balmoral in the 20s; to "beatniks" puffing cigarettes outside a Kings Cross club 20 years later, and so on. Other features, such as the English-style amusement pier on Coogee Beach or the empty sandhills at Bondi, are long gone.
Match Point | Martin Parr (Phaidon, $80)
Even sports-phobes enjoy playing and watching tennis, and Martin Parr's latest book illustrates why. The renowned British photographer not only documents the thrill of a kinetic game on Centre Court but also trains his lens on the coaches, spectators and behind-the-scenes helpers, capturing the romance and congeniality that characterise Grand Slam tennis at its best. Parr has published more than 80 photo books and that experience shows in the curation of this volume, which feels just right at 144 pages. An eloquent essay on Parr's craft by Sabina Jaskot-Gill, curator of photography at London's National Portrait Gallery, adds some heft.
And another one: All In by Billie Jean King covers the tennis titan's ground-breaking life and career. (Penguin, $35)
Tom Ford 002 | Tom Ford (Hardie Grant, $250)
Tom Ford portrait by Alexi Hay Alexi Hay
From suiting to the cinema, Tom Ford has triumphed in recent years – and boy, does he know it. This, the follow-up to his self-titled 2004 monograph, spans 444 pages and is unashamedly self-congratulatory. Famous people wear fabulous clothes; Anna Wintour waxes lyrical about Tom's talent; and the designer himself discusses how he gets creative sparks to fly. What saves Tom Ford 002 is the undeniable quality of the clothing, the photography and the book design itself. Ford is a perfectionist, and he was clearly intimately involved here.
Like this? Try: Vivienne Westwood Catwalk documents the punk designer's womenswear collections from 1981 onwards. (Thames & Hudson, $110)
Kusama: Cosmic Nature | Yayoi Kusama (Hardie Grant, $85)
This catalogue of a recent exhibition by the visionary Japanese artist at the New York Botanical Garden is a stunning example of how art can respond to its surroundings. Kusama's fantastical sculptures make much more sense in this setting than they do in sterile galleries, and it's no surprise to learn that the 92-year-old has been obsessed with nature since the early days of her practice. The book also contains worthwhile essays and reproductions of earlier work, but it's this lushly photographed Botanical Garden exhibition that hits hardest.
Detail from the cover of Kusama: Cosmic Nature Rizzoli
More art? How about: Mark Rothko 1968: Clearing Away accompanies the Pace Gallery show of the artist's little-seen works on paper. (Pace Publications, $US45)
This is from Life & Leisure's 56-page bumper Christmas gift guide, out in print on Friday, December 3, inside The Australian Financial Review and in the AFR Weekend on Saturday and Sunday, December 4-5.

Best JavaScript Frameworks to Use in 2020
Know why these top 13 JS frameworks are better than others
With all the evolution happening in the information technology field, the need to learn JavaScript has become more compliant for the developer community. The front end JavaScript frameworks are mainly the tools which are used for making the JavaScript coding more efficient as well as faster than before.
Before we proceed with the list of the best free JavaScript Frameworks, you need to get a better understanding of what actually a framework is.
What Is A Framework And Why Do We Need It?
A framework is a supportive platform with a design that is reusable and provides excellent support for scripting programming languages. In simple words, a framework is a block of code that is written by a team of developers to make the entire process of development simple and easy to implement.
The purpose of this block of code is to prevent the programmers from writing extra code that is redundant and unnecessary for the development process. One of the main objectives of a framework is to make the code reusable and makes the development process efficient, as the developer can directly reuse a function as many times as it is required during the whole process.
Looking from the business perspective, it enables the developer to work on the respective client's requirements and using the frameworks for overcoming the challenges faced in the development phase of the client's project.
Why Is Javascript Framework Important?
JavaScript or JS is a scripting language that lets the developer create dynamic web components as well as control them. These components include user-interactive forms, photo/image slideshows, digital animated graphics and many more.
The JavaScript framework also offers the front-end developers/programmers with a variety of structural website templates along with the pre-written JavaScript code that is required for the routine programming tasks.
Here are some of the best uses of Javascript Framework:
Based on components.
Strong community.
Third party libraries to get help.
Useful third-party components.
Browser extensions help to debug.
Excellent for doing single page applications.
We can divide Javascript framework into two categories, one as Reactive JavaScript Frameworks and other as MVC (Model–View–Controller).
A. Reactive JavaScript Frameworks
Reactive web development is better known to bring resilience, responsiveness, scalability, and accuracy. All the frameworks mentioned under Reactive Javascript frameworks are based on the same principle.
B. MVC JavaScript Frameworks
MVC or Model–View–Controller is an architectural pattern that separates app logic from presentation. It separates internal information representation from how it is presented and accepted by the user. To put it simply, it minimizes the scripting as the presentation and PHP scripting is put at different places.
Top JavaScript Frameworks
Here are some of the widely used javascript frameworks that have made their mark in the developer community across the globe.
1. Vue.js
The Vue.js was first released back in the year 2014, but vue.js got its much more stable version update, i.e., Vue 2.0 after a gap of two years. Basically, in Vue, the developer gets some of the best features combined in one like features from Angular, Ember, and React at one place.
This vue.js was designed in such a way that it can be adapted incrementally and used for projects including different JS Libraries.
And similar to the angular.js, the vue.js also offers the feature of two-way data binding. Vue is mainly used by developers as an open source full-featured javascript framework for front end web applications to develop interactive user interfaces. Other than that, this vue.js can also be used to create awesome single-page apps.

Typical Size
19kb min
Typical Use
Components and single-page apps
Advantages of Vue.js
Due to the small size, it can be easily downloaded easily.
Offers freedom to developers to write their templates in the HTML file.
Easy documentation
Surging in popularity and usage
Disadvantages of Vue.js
The vue.js is relatively new.
Some language barriers as there are community libraries whose code is written in Chinese.
The current job market is less than that for React and Angular
2. Angular.js
The Angular.js is an open-source javascript framework that is backed up by Google itself. Angular JS is mainly adopted by the upcoming startups and SMEs (Small to Medium-scale Enterprises) as it provides great support for simplifies testing with rapid app development.
Some of the business-oriented features that angular.js offers are two-way data binding, quicker production of code and many more.
https://angularjs.org/
https://github.com/angular/angular.js
Advantages of Angular.js
The two-way data binding features comes with a great DOM programming interface.
Consistent updates.
Maintained by Google.
The model is easy to maintain, reuse, and test.
The community size is huge.
Works on a highly documented architecture.
Full-featured framework with well-tested defaults.
Disadvantages of Angular.js
For some programmers, the learning path can be quite tough.
The scopes used are comparatively hard to understand.
The websites that are created using angular.js might require some extra time to render.
TypeScript may be a barrier to adoption.
Poor startup metrics in benchmarks.
3. jQuery
It's an open-source JavaScript library, which comes compatible with CSS3 and can be accessed over multiple browsers. jQuery makes it easy for developers to produce dynamic pages and flash-like animations.
The main aim of this framework is to make programming scripts faster on the client side. After the backing of Microsoft and Nokia, jQuery started getting more recognition.
There are many upsides of jQuery as it takes on its competitors. Right from adding plugins to the constant support for libraries, the framework excels in all.
https://jquery.com/
https://github.com/jquery/jquery
jQuery Team
Advantages of jQuery:
Flexible and fast for web development.
It has an MIT license and is Open Source.
Excellent support community.
Supports Plugins.
Quick integration with AJAX.
Disadvantages of jQuery:
Not backward compatible.
Stability is an issue.
Support for animation and special effects are relatively poor.
Issue on plugin compatibility.
React made its debut in the year 2013 by the company, Facebook and yes the amazing user interface of two of the most popular social media platforms - Facebook and Instagram are made on React.js.
For some time now, people have been divided into two groups when it comes to react.js, one group states that React.js as a framework and other describing react as a javascript library.
The react js framework is prominently used to develop web as well as mobile user interfaces this is the reason why react is also considered as a 'View Layer' instead of just a framework.

Ryan Dahl
Advantages of Node.js
The developer can build every element of his/her application right from scratch as it doesn't bear any restrictions.
A huge community being active and offers great support at the global level.
Due to its non-blocking I/O ecosystem, the developer can easily process several requests simultaneously.
Before the node.js, JavaScript wasn't full stack as it was only used to do the client side development.
Disadvantages of Node.js
The node.js does not have the feature of multi-thread programming yet, which makes it harder to choose for the long-running calculations.
The developers still face instances where the node API behaves unpredictably.
7. Ember
Another free open source javascript framework is Ember.js which first came into the spotlight in 2011. Ember is primarily used for creating web applications, but apps for desktop and mobile can also be built by using the ember.js.
Ember is a great choice especially for startups who are looking to develop complex web applications. Currently, the ember.js community is very large and is widely active all over the world. Like vue.js and angular.js, ember javascript framework also supports the two-way binding.

9. Backbone
The backbone framework is amongst some of the well-known web development javascript frameworks. Its popularity is because of the two reasons:
The backbone's usability models are quite easy to understand.
The learning curve of the backbone is pretty straightforward.
The code only tends to get messy when the developer doesn't pay attention to the coalition with the code's structure. The main objective behind the creation of the backbone framework was the idea that all the server-side functions should flow through an API.
It will minimize the total amount of code and the developer will be able to create complex functionalities with a lesser line of codes.

Q: Tiling Theano tensor I have two tensors A and B where the first one has size (500,10) and the second has size (500). I want to find A / B.
I am using regular / operator and it Theano compiler says that they should be the same size.
Then I tried using tensor.tile on B to make it the same size as A. It has three parameters(x, reps, ndim). I tried different values and I am limited to these constraints:
x.ndim = len(reps) and ndim = len(reps)
Then having these constraints how can I tile the array to a matrix?! Is this a bug in Theano?

A: You can just broadcast it, and there are several ways to do it. Take the following example
import numpy as np
A = np.arange(1., 5001., 1.).reshape(500, 10)
B = np.arange(1., 501., 1.)

import theano
As = theano.shared(A)
Bs = theano.shared(B)

The failsafe way of doing this is adding an appropriate axis
AoverB = A / B[:, np.newaxis]
AoverBalso = A / B.reshape((-1, 1))
AsoverBs = As / Bs.reshape((-1, 1))

Another way is to exploit the fact that there is implicit broadcasting to pad the first axes if they are missing
AoverBT = A.T / B.T   # no axis was added here
AsoverBsT = As.T / Bs.T

In order to show that all these calculate the same thing, we use numpy.testing
from numpy.testing import assert_array_equal
assert_array_equal(AoverB, AoverBalso)
assert_array_equal(AoverB, AsoverBs.eval())
assert_array_equal(AoverB, AoverBT.T)
assert_array_equal(AoverB, AsoverBsT.T.eval())

Things You May Not Know About Alexander Graham Bell
Posted by on March 6, 2018 5:48 am
The next time you pick up your iPhone, stop and think about how it all got started. Long before there was Steve Jobs, there was Alexander Graham Bell and his groundbreaking invention that made the iPhone possible.
Related: UC Trivia To Know For National Technology Day
In honor of Bell, whose 171st birthday was celebrated March 3, 2018, here are 10 things you may not have known about the inventor.
Bell Was A Teacher
While Bell is best known for being the inventor of the telephone, he also deserves a lot of credit for helping teach the deaf. Bell worked at the Boston School for Deaf Mutes and actually made inventions to provide alternative communications technologies for people who were hard of hearing.
The Phone Industry Paid Him Tribute
The phone industry was so grateful for Bell's contributions when he died that all phone systems in the U.S. were silenced for one minute. This is a remarkable feat when you think about the coordination and planning it must have taken—all to pay him tribute.

Bell Also Worked On The Phonograph
While it was Thomas Edison who invented the phonograph in 1877, it was Bell who improved and refined it. Bell and his colleagues created the Graphophone, a commercial model that used a cardboard cylinder and wax.
He Saw The Light
Bell was tinkering with light as a means of communication long before fiber optics were a thing. Bell and a partner successfully transmitted a wireless voice message using a beam of light, with an invention called the photophone.

Bell Was Born In Scotland
Bell was not born in America, but rather Scotland. He became an American citizen in 1882 when he moved from Boston to Washington, D.C.
Bell Made The First Transcontinental Call
The first transcontinental call was made by Bell in 1915, when he called Thomas Watson in San Francisco, from New York City.
Related: UC's Past & Present As A Disruptive Technology
He Was Also A Publisher
An avid lover of communication, Bell also took to the printed page to spread his ideas. During the early 1800s, Bell helped set up a magazine called Science where he was responsible for photographs and illustrations.
You Can Thank Him For The Metal Detector
Bell invented many different things, one being the same device that you see people holding on the beach when combing for buried treasure. Sources indicate Bell's machine was used to attempt to locate a bullet inside of President James Garfield.

Whiskey Roads
Moonshine once flowed through Wilkes, Davie, and Davidson counties, ferried by daring drivers in fast cars. Drive these narrow, winding roads for a taste of the area's outlaw past.
written by Philip Gerard
They are lonely roads, strung between the cities of the Piedmont, running for secret miles through the countryside of Wilkes, Davie, and Davidson counties. Nowadays, their hard turns have been gentled, their dips and heaves ironed out. But they remain narrow, following the contours of the land between ridges.
Imagine how it was: In the deep mountain darkness of a warm night soon after the war, say 1947, a black car speeds along U.S. Route 64 east of Mocksville, headed toward Lexington. The designation of "U.S. Route" is a grandiose one for a blacktop strip barely wide enough for two lanes of traffic.
The car is a 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe, all sleek curves and running boards. It rides heavy and fast, its trunk and backseat packed full of 22 six-gallon cases of white lightning — more than half a ton of the best moonshine whiskey in the state.
The kid behind the wheel is just 16, but he's been driving since he was 8. He used to take the family car out on the dirt road that connects their farm to the highway, "acting the monkey" with it, practicing a move he will become famous for: the bootleg turn. Cut sharply left, gear down into second, stomp the gas. The car spins 180 degrees, and suddenly it's speeding back where it came from.
The kid is Robert Glenn Johnson Jr., named after his father. Everybody calls him just plain Junior. For as long as he can remember, Junior's had the one quality he can count on when the chips are down: nerve. It's not something you learn, it's just inside you, and the more you use it, the more you've got.
Nerve is something you need when you're outrunning revenuers from the Alcohol Tax Unit of the Treasury. The ATU men know the Johnson family well. In 1935, they raided Robert Johnson Sr.'s farm at Ingle Hollow, north of Wilkesboro, and seized the biggest haul in U.S. history: four copper condensers, four and a half tons of sugar, 7,000 gallons of white whiskey, five stills capable of turning out 2,000 gallons a week.
It shouldn't have come as any surprise. Through the 1940s, the revenuers count Wilkes County as one of four moonshine capitals of the country, turning out half a million gallons per year of untaxed whiskey. Moonshine is not just the biggest cash crop in the county. It's the biggest industry, period.
After the bust, Junior's father was hauled off to prison. Now, Junior Johnson has no intention of going to prison for making and driving whiskey. His immediate worry is the stretch of road coming up. Once he crosses State Road 801, he's entered a trap, and he knows it. For eight miles, between that intersection and the Yadkin River, he'll have no escape route if the law blocks the road ahead. He races toward the bridge, and sure enough, a sheriff's car is parked sideways, blocking both lanes. In the rearview mirror, he sees two pairs of headlights closing in. Now it's time for a move, a trick, and a lot of nerve.
He gets as far to the right as he can, shifts into second gear while he turns the wheel sharply left and punches the accelerator. The Ford slides around, squealing, and now Junior Johnson is flying back the way he came, toward the two cars coming head-on, side by side.
Just as the headlights seem to be right on top of him, at the very last second, the two revenuers' cars break to opposite sides. Junior's shooting through the space between them and in seconds is too far past them to see, and the road in his headlights is clear.
Half a century later, the moonshiners are mostly gone, and Junior Johnson's skill as a driver has made him a NASCAR legend.
I'm driving U.S. 64 in daylight, homeward bound from a visit with Junior at Piedmont Distillers in Madison, which produces legal whiskey with his name on it. With Junior's soft drawl still in my head, I round the last bend and drop toward the river. I can almost see his black Ford beating me to the bridge.

If you're a parent, and have tried finding quality organic items, you know it can be challenging. I was shopping in a well known baby store and couldn't find one clothing item organic or made in the USA. I asked customer service, who called the manager. He looked through an inventory book and eventually found a few "organic" toys made in China…that was the extent of their collection. Luckily we have the internet, and great shops like Wild Dill. Wild Dill is an online shop dedicated to natural, organic and responsibly sourced baby and children's items. This Mom run and owned company offers many unique and attractive items for little ones. Read Mama Banana's Adventures Organic Bunting Bag Review and learn more about the company. One lucky winner will take home a GC to this online shop! Check out the details below and thanks for stopping by.

When Being Just Be
Why I Stopped Trying to be a Real Man - John Stoltenberg
All my life I felt different from other guys. There always were guys who had more manhood than me. Then I read a feminist book that changed my life. It said, basically, "There's no such thing as 'real men' and 'real women.' Gender is a social fiction." Th at's when I stopped feeling so anxious about whether I measured up against the manhood standard. And that's when I discovered a new kind of personal strength.
Over many years that strength grew as I talked to many guys who had also been raised to believe in manhood and so they were trying with all their might to be a "real man." Everyone I talked to thought there were other men who had more manhood, more than they could ever hope to have.
So I got to thinking: If everyone trying to be a "real man" thinks there's someone else out there who has more manhood, then either some guy has more manhood than anybody--and he's got so much manhood he never has to prove it and it's never ever in doubt--or else manhood doesn't exist. It's just a sham and a delusion.
As I watched guys trying to prove their fantasy of manhood--by doing dirt to women, making fun of queers, putting down people of other religions and races--I realized they were doing something really negative to me too, because their fear and hatre d of everything "nonmanly" was killing off something in me that I valued.
That's why I feel a connection to feminism. I want a humanity that is not measured against the cult of masculinity. I want a selfhood that does not reject fine parts of myself just because they are not "manly." I want courage to confront the things men ha ve done in the world that are damaging to women and that are also leaving no safe space for the self I hope to be.
The kind of sexual connection that I always wanted with someone was about fairness and justice. I always thought that was the sexiest part of sex--the deepest possible feeling between two people. I thought sex and fairness should intrinsically be united, even before I knew the word "feminism."
When I began to see how pornography makes dominance and subordination feel "sexy"--the very opposite of fairness--that affected me in a very personal way too. I had always been taught that dominance was the way "real men" were supposed to have sex; domina nce was what I was supposed to be able to do in sex. Men had to be the conqueror, the powerful fucker. Well, I never got very good at that, and I always felt sort of a failure.
When I started hearing from women friends who had been battered, from women who had been raped, it was very upsetting--and it still is. I understand from the inside some of what men do to women--and some of it is not part of me at all. But just because se xualized hatred is not a big part of me doesn't mean it's not real in the world. A lot of men's sexuality gets twisted into a very hostile shape; animosity is like a precondition for sexual feelings, and violence is like foreplay. That's totally alien to me--not what I could imagine doing at all--but I know I have to take seriously that it happens, and that many men do it because it makes them feel like a "real man."
When I am feeling really centered, it's as if my selfhood doesn't have a gender. In the world I'm perceived as a man, of course; I live with the benefits and privileges of the social meaning of my anatomy. But my life path is really about refusing to be a man. I don't believe that manhood even exists. The only way to prove one's manhood is to win a fight or put someone down--which is just too dumb for words. And anyone who tries to get in touch with "deep masculinity" through myth is bound t o be disappointed--because manhood is the biggest myth of all.
My life today is about trying to choose to do the right thing, the best I can. I might fuck up--but I must always stay connected to the consequences of my choice, always know as much as possible about who will be affected by my choice, and stay attentive to that. I experience my authentic selfhood only in the history of my choice making, in action, in how I actually do things, and in the responsibility I take for having acted or for not having acted. I discovered that the key is not to make choices accord ing to "Will this make me more of a man?" Instead I make my choices because they seem like the fairest thing to do--the most caring of everyone's selfhood (including my own).

Swiss tourist gang raped in India, say police
David Clark Scott
Sat, 16 Mar 2013 00:00 UTC
A Swiss woman, center, who was gang-raped by a group of eight men while touring by bicycle with her husband, is escorted by policewomen for a medical examination at a hospital in Gwalior, in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, Saturday, March 16, 2013.
A Swiss couple bicycling in India were attacked and the woman was gang raped, say police. The alleged attack again raises the profile of sexual violence against women in India.
The gang rape of a Swiss tourist while camping with her husband in India puts the international spotlight (again) on sexual violence against women in the South Asia nation.
The attack occurred Friday evening after the Swiss couple had stopped to camp in a forest. They were bicycling in the state of Madhya Pradesh on their way to see the Taj Mahal, in Agra. According to the Hindustan Times, the couple were returning from visiting the Ram Raja Temple, in Orchha.
A group of 7 or 8 men, according to various reports, attacked the couple. According to one report, the husband was held at gunpoint. Another report says the men were carrying sticks. Seven men attacked the couple in their tent and four of them raped the woman, Dilip Arya, deputy inspector general of police, told Reuters. They also stole their valuables."
While 20 men have reportedly been detained for questioning, no one has been arrested.
The woman was treated and released from the Kamalaraje hospital in Gwalior and her medical tests have confirmed rape, police sources told The Hindustan Times.
One woman is raped every 20 minutes in India, according to the National Crime Records Bureau. But police estimate only four out of 10 rapes are reported, largely due to victims' fear of being shamed by their families and communities.
The attack on the Swiss tourists comes just three months after major protests in India following the fatal gang-rape of a 23-year old college student on a bus in New Delhi.
As The Christian Science Monitor reported at the time, the outrage expressed by hundreds of thousands of demonstrators over that "heinous attack has given women at least a measure of hope that the country of 1.2 billion people will see meaningful improvement in how women are treated, though most realize any change is likely to come slowly.
"These protests have at least given women the confidence to talk about sexual violence," says Singh, the kindergarten teacher in Bangalore. "For too long, women have been made to feel guilty for these things."
But as another Monitor article noted "the challenges faced by Indian women reflect broader contradictions: Two decades of economic growth and globalization have brought improved opportunities but also greater inequality. That paradox was captured in a July survey that ranked India as the worst place to be a woman among the Group of 20 countries that make up the world's biggest economies, based on parameters like health services, threat of violence, and property rights."
As a result of the attention focus on women's security, AFP reports that "the national Congress-led government has been under heavy pressure to step up legal protection for India's women following the December attack on the student who died from internal injuries after being savagely assaulted by six men.
Under a new bill approved by India's cabinet earlier in the week, rapists face a minimum 20-year jail term and the death penalty if the victim dies from her injuries or is left in a persistent vegetative state."
Meanwhile, the driver of the bus in which a young Indian woman was gang-raped and fatally injured in December hanged himself in his jail cell on Monday, prison authorities said, but his family and lawyer said they suspected "foul play." Police have described Ram Singh as the ringleader of five men and a juvenile on trial.

bicycling and camping in India????
I think what happened to this woman is horrible, but seriously what were these people thinking?? Camping in a forest in India?? With all the news about the gang rape and sexual violence in India... you would think it would put a healthy fear for women and men about going to India at this time!! It just baffles me!
glardu · 2015-01-04T15:54:13Z
Sheeple travel to foreign countries thinking the same rules apply over there as they do here. While I have a darker solution for the gang rapists I also believe the tourists need a good cuff up side the head with the lead pipe of reality, which they received.
When travelling abroad expect to be robbed, raped, possibly even murdered. Thats what happens in impoverished countries and some fat rich bastard comes along and sits there as prime pickings from the golden goose. If you're going to play tourist have the common sense to appear as poor as they are.

Rexroth, Dana Form Joint Venture
Bosch Rexroth AG and Dana Holding Corporation announced that they expect to form a 50-50 joint venture to co-develop and manufacture advanced drive transmissions for the off-highway market. The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding to this effect.
The planned joint-venture company is expected to operate in Arco, Italy. It will manufacture, engineer and market hydro-mechanical variable powersplit transmission systems (HVT) for the global off-highway markets. The transmission systems will focus on meeting customer needs for improved fuel economy, productivity, emissions and maneuverability. Both Bosch Rexroth and Dana will contribute staff, intellectual property and capital to the joint-venture company.
We are excited about the opportunities that this combination of two respected global off-highway transmission manufacturers presents," says George Constand, chief technical officer of Dana. "Together, Dana and Bosch Rexroth offer a broad range of complementary skill sets, which will enable the joint venture to deliver a unique array of advanced transmission solutions to the off-highway marketplace."
The planned joint venture will capitalize on Dana's experience in off-highway transmission engineering and manufacturing, as well as Bosch Rexroth's experience in hydraulics and systems. The two companies are currently involved in a joint project to develop power split transmissions for construction machines.
"The smart interaction of hydraulics and mechanics will be the driving factor for future innovation in drive transmissions," says Reiner Leipold-Buettner, executive vice president of engineering and manufacturing for Bosch Rexroth. "Only those with the best knowledge in both fields will master the growing market demands. Dana and Bosch Rexroth ideally combine both fields."

Tesla's software lead is so big it should worry other automakers, AI expert says
- May. 8th 2019 3:28 pm ET
According to Lex Fridman, a research scientist at MIT working on human-centered artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles, Tesla's software lead is so big it should worry other automakers and could even slow down the pace of innovation due to the lack of competition.
Fridman is known for his work studying Tesla's Autopilot and other driver assist and autonomous driving systems.
In a new interview on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the AI expert explained that he supports a "software first" approach to developing self-driving systems.
"I am 100% for the software approach. I think we need to let good software engineers lead the way is the way to go. I wish other companies were competing with Tesla on this. On the software side, Tesla is far ahead of everyone else in the automotive sector and that's one of the problems. Competition is good and I am worried that there's people way too far behind to actually give Tesla new ideas and outcompete Tesla on software."
He went on to explain how most cars can't do over-the-air software updates other than to the infotainment system.
While it's true that no other automaker has quite the software update capability of Tesla, several automakers, like GM and Porsche, have announced efforts to increasingly expand their capability to send software updates to vehicles.
The AI expert argued that the software is at the foundation of Tesla's vehicles and it's not the case for any other major manufacturers.
Here's the relevant segment of the interview:
Electrek's Take
I think he makes a good point. Tesla is definitely years ahead of any other automaker when it comes to software and yet, there are still learning and tweaking their approach when it comes to the technology.
Recently, Tesla released a new update that lets owners have more control over when they get new software updates pushed to their cars.
Tesla also introduced software update signatures to protect its vehicles against hacking not that long ago.
Those are all things that Tesla is just now figuring out after years of focusing on vehicle software as a fundamental part of its vehicles.
I understand why Fridman would think that other automakers have a lot to do in order to catch up, but hopefully, they are watching closely and they will learn a lot from Tesla.
But I agree that as long as they play catch up, they are not really pushing Tesla through competition. That said, I am not sure that Tesla really needs that to innovate since they are mostly mission driven.

Save the Children is a leading non-profit, non-political, non-religious humanitarian organization working in Nigeria in the areas of Health, Education, Nutrition, Protection, Advocacy and Emergency response. Save the Children has been working in Nigeria since 2001. The early focus was on getting children actively involved in shaping the decisions that affect their lives. Today, SC is working in several states; including Katsina, Zamfara, Yobe, Jigawa, Lagos, Plateau, Sokoto, Kano, Gombe, Maiduguri, Calabar, Lagos, Kebbi, Bauchi, Kaduna and others – focusing on child survival, humanitarian relief, and education and protecting children. Globally, Save the Children has a larger portfolio of development programmes across 120 countries in the world.
The main purpose of the End of Project Evaluation is to ascertain the project impact on the targeted beneficiaries by examining the achievements and outcomes in the three states; determining project implementation effectiveness, and sustainability plans; and documenting best practices, lessons learnt and recommendations for similar project design. This would be achieved through a critical comparison with the baseline survey conducted at the project start-up phase. The End of Project Evaluation will use a gender equality approach to ensure representation of all critical stakeholders but also to specifically look at the gender equality impacts of the Life Steps project.
Assess whether the project objectives and strategies were relevant in addressing the identified problem(s).
Secondary data review: Review of baseline assessment report, project annual reports from project inception, baseline data collection tools and other relevant secondary documents.
Application of data collection tools (e.g. household surveys, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) guides, Key Informant Interview (KII) guides) for Interviews and discussions with stakeholders and beneficiaries including Save the Children staff.
Qualitative methods will be used (Including FGDs and KIIs) with appropriate groups/individuals including beneficiaries, media and government officials at LGA, States and national level.
KIIs with institutional stakeholders, including government officials (Ministry of Health, Ministry of Women's Affairs), civil society organizations, NGOs.
Responsibilities and work deliverables for this End of Project Evaluation will be divided between the Lead Consultant, and Save the Children.
The Lead Consultant will be responsible for the data collection phase of the End of Project Evaluation which includes hiring and training the data collectors; organizing the daily logistical schedule for the data collectors; supervising the work of the data collectors to ensure consistency and quality of data collected; hiring and training data entry clerks; entering the data into a database; conducting FGDs and KIIs; cleaning and validating the household survey data and preparing analysis tables; preparing and translating into English FGD and KII transcripts.
Save the Children Nigeria will be responsible for recruiting and hiring the Lead Consultant to lead the data collection phase; working with the Lead Consultant in organizing the logistics for the data collection phase, including identifying the households to be surveyed; identifying the FGD participants and organizing the FGDs; identifying and scheduling the KII interviews; trouble-shooting any logistical problems that might arise in the field.
The Lead Consultant will be responsible for recruiting and hiring skilled data collectors, interviewers, FGD facilitators, supervisors, and data entry clerks. A gender balance among the data collectors, interviewers, FGD facilitators, supervisors and data entry clerks is required to make sure that data collection is gender-sensitive and to enable women and girls to engage with the data collectors.
NOTE: Save the Children will provide the Lead Consultant with all of the data collection tools – Household Surveys for adults and children; FGD guides and KIIs questionnaires. These are the same tools that were used for the Baseline Survey.
The Lead Consultant will be responsible for conducting a training workshop for the data collectors, interviewers, FGD facilitators and supervisors on the survey methodology, data collection tools and techniques and other skills needed to conduct high quality household surveys, focus groups, etc. All interviews conducted with women and girls should be conducted by female interviewers in gender-sensitive and safe spaces to enable women and girls to engage with the interviewers. The training of data collectors should include a detailed review of all questions, instructions and filters in the questionnaire prior to the commencement of data collection, as well as training on Save the Children's Guidelines for Gender-Sensitive Data Collection. A pilot test of the household survey must be conducted to ensure that the data collectors clearly understand and have mastered the data collection tool.
The Lead Consultant will be responsible for developing and overseeing the in-field logistics plan and sampling procedures for the data collection, including determining how the individual households will be selected; who will be interviewed – positions as well as actual individuals; how the FGD participants will be selected; organizing the accommodation and travel requirements for the data collection team; organizing the daily work schedule for the data collection teams (who goes where, does what, etc.). Given that the scope of the End of Project Evaluation has to cover three (3) states, decisions will need to be made on how many data collection teams will be hired and trained to collect data.
The Lead Consultant will be responsible for making sure that the household surveys are complete and accurate prior to starting data entry and data processing. Data entry clerks, managed by the supervisors, will accompany the data collection teams into the field and enter data on a daily basis. Supervisors will monitor the work of the data entry clerks by doing random spot checks, and ensuring that all data is entered by the end of the data collection process. Any information provided on the HH survey beyond the code lists (e.g. answers to "other" options written in the local language) must be entered in English. Consequently, the data entry clerks must have a rudimentary understanding of English. Ideally, two data entry clerks should be hired per data collection team.
The Lead Consultant will be responsible for designing an SPSS database for the Household Survey data. The Lead Consultant will be responsible for ensuring that they have the appropriate SPSS software. Save the Children will provide guidance and recommendations for developing the relevant analysis tables for all of the questions in the HHS.
The work should commence by the second week of August 2017 and is expected to be completed by the third week of September 2017. The consultant is expected to submit the final database on 18th of September, 2017. The table below summaries the assessment schedule.

What could happen if Jeff Sessions is pushed out of office?
By ERIC TUCKER and SADIE GURMAN, Associated Press | Posted - July 25, 2017 at 5:21 p.m.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's startlingly public criticism of Jeff Sessions over the last week suggests an effort to pressure the attorney general into resigning with a possible eye toward replacing him and ending the Justice Department investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Trump has shown one attorney general the door already. His January dismissal of Sally Yates had limited repercussions since she was an Obama administration holdover days away from her own departure. But firing or forcing out Sessions could set off a frenzied — and confusing — chain reaction of monumental consequences.
A Sessions ouster would be seen as key to ultimately removing Robert Mueller, the special counsel and former FBI director investigating potential collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. But Trump, infuriated by Session's own recusal from the probe, would need to find a new ally in the Justice Department willing to take that step — which may not be easy.
A look at potential scenarios:
THE ORDINARY SUCCESSION PLAN
If Trump follows Justice Department protocol and his own executive order outlining a succession plan, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein would immediately become acting attorney general until a permanent successor is nominated and confirmed by the Senate.
That would leave the president, at least immediately, with another attorney general of whom he has been sharply critical. Rosenstein would continue to oversee Mueller's investigation, and there is no time limit on how long he could serve in an acting capacity.
ELEVATING THE DEPUTY
The point person for Mueller's probe within the Justice Department, Rosenstein has not been spared from Trump's ire. Trump lashed out at him in a New York Times interview last week, suggesting he couldn't be a loyal Republican if he's from Baltimore, even though he actually grew up outside of Philadelphia, and claimed that he had a "conflict" in the case since he authored a memo that preceded the firing of FBI Director James Comey.
Rosenstein has steadfastly said he would not fire Mueller unless there were legitimate grounds to do so. He has said he won't follow any orders he doesn't believe are lawful or appropriate, suggesting that he'd be prepared to resign if Trump demanded that he fire Mueller.
Unlike Sessions, the first senator to endorse Trump, Rosenstein and Trump had no pre-existing relationship and there's no reason to think the president would rather have him lead the Justice Department.
Rosenstein, who cultivated an image as a straight-arrow prosecutor who served under presidents of both political parties, also may see standing up to the president as a chance to salvage a reputation hobbled by his role in Comey's firing.
Under the department's line of succession, if Sessions and Rosenstein were to both leave, the acting attorney general slot would then be filled by Rachel Brand, the No. 3 official and the associate attorney general.
A DIFFERENT PICK
Trump could invoke his authority under the federal Vacancies Reform Act to select someone other than Rosenstein to lead the department on an interim basis provided that person is already Senate-confirmed, which could include a Cabinet member or a top Justice Department official.
Such appointments have 210-day limits, and it's not clear that statute can be used when the previous officeholder is fired. A person picked under the act could not also be named as a permanent successor, according to an online post by Stephen Vladeck, a University of Texas national security law professor.
If Trump opts for someone other than Rosenstein, that selection would have enormous import because the pick — barring a conflict similar to the one Sessions had, which involved his advocacy for Trump during the campaign — would assume oversight of Mueller's investigation. There's nothing in the regulations that set up Mueller's appointment that would seem to bar an acting attorney general from firing a special counsel for misconduct, conflict of interest or dereliction of duty.
"Whoever is acting as attorney general has the authority to fire Mueller," said Josh Blackman, a South Texas College of Law professor.
A RECESS APPOINTMENT
If the Senate formally recesses for 10 days or more, Trump can appoint someone of his choosing to be attorney general until the end of the next Senate session in January 2019, Vladeck said in an interview. And Trump's pick wouldn't need Senate confirmation to step into the role, theoretically allowing the president to select someone amenable to firing Mueller.
The length of an August recess remains up in the air anyhow, because Trump has insisted that senators not leave town without sending him some kind of health overhaul bill to sign.
Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, the Senate minority leader, vowed to fight any such recess appointment.
"Many Americans must be wondering if the president is trying to pry open the office of attorney general to appoint someone during the August recess who will fire Mueller and shut down the Russia investigation," Schumer said Tuesday. "Before this scheme gains wings, Democrats will never go along with a recess appointment. If that situation arises, we have some tools in our tool box to stymie such action."
Democrats could filibuster the Senate recess and try to force Republicans to conduct short, pro forma sessions with no business conducted once every three days. That would bar the president from making recess appointments.

As might be expected, many of the investors coming to findaWEALTHMANAGER.com are dissatisfied with their current provider and seeking a better match – and you should never let misconceptions about hassle and costs can stand in the way of a change.
It is very easy to fall prey to inertia with a wealth management relationship and all too often investors stay with an institution that is under-performing because they fear making a change will be too much bother, or cost too much. But with an abundance of top-quality providers out there competing for your business, you should never be content with a failing partnership, or even one that is merely good enough.
You may have a lot to gain from a changing your wealth manager, so here are some "red flags" signalling you should perhaps look elsewhere and reasons why your mind should be at rest over the transfer process itself.
Investors may not know, for example, that the new wealth manager will liaise with the old one via a letter of authorisation from the client, meaning that they don't even have to have the awkward "leaving you" conversation.
Fees seem too high, or are too opaque for you to get a handle on.
Complacency has crept in over the performance of your investments, or the level of service you receive.
Mutual trust – which is the bedrock for such an important relationship – has been eroded.
Insufficient bandwidth in the range of products and services on offer is jeopardising your goals.
One – or a combination of these red flags might come up – at any point, so it pays to keep your freedom to change provider in mind throughout any relationship, even (and perhaps particularly) in a longstanding one. A small reduction in fees could impact hugely on the long-term performance of your investments; a better personal relationship could make you feel far more comfortable with your financial affairs; or there may be new services such as a Lombard loan that might greatly enhance the impact of your wealth.
The prospect of change can feel unsettling, particularly when there is such a wide choice of money managers available. However, having used the FWM smart online tool, you can be confident knowing that the shortlist of institutions our matching process generates will all be a very strong fit indeed.
Then, once you have met with your best-matched wealth managers and identified the right one for you, you can be assured that the transfer process itself will entail very little in the way of hassle and costs – and could be completed very rapidly indeed.
Here, leading wealth managers from our panel put paid to four common misconceptions about changing provider.
Although wealth managers pride themselves on the personal and durable relationships they forge with clients, good ones will never stand in the way of those leaving.
Whilst naturally companies do not wish to see their clients leave, it is important that they respect client choice and give them the freedom to do so by making the transfer process simple and transparent, says Gary Teper, Head of Investment Management at Charles Stanley. Where possible, we always endeavour to work with the other party involved – whether this be a client transferring to or from us – to ensure it is handled smoothly and that we are all working in the best interests of the client.
A new provider will minimise any hassle and can effectively end the previous relationship for you, should you wish. Even consolidating multiple previous relationships can be very straightforward.
Part of our discussions with prospective clients is to work out the most efficient way to transfer the existing portfolios – looking at current tax wrappers such as ISAs, investment bonds and pensions, costs of transfer or disposal, and sequence of transfer – so that once the transfer process is underway it should be pretty smooth, says David Carroll, one of the founders of Seven Investment Management.
We recommend opening the new account first, then we obtain a detailed full authority from the client that enables us to arrange everything and this almost always allows us to complete the move without having to bother the client further" adds Mike Packham, Business Development Manager at SGPB Hambros. For example, we liaise with the former bank, arrange movement of regular payments both in and out – which is often a big concern – and the transfer of investments, along with any important CGT history and so on.
Recent media coverage has focused on the punitive exit charges the clients of some investment managers have experienced, but this is very much the exception. Instead, you can expect reasonable (and transparent) "costs of doing business"; sometimes, the new firm may even defray some exit costs.
The digitisation of financial services means relationships can be wrapped up and begun elsewhere in short order. New accounts can be opened as soon as client checks are complete and even complex portfolios transferred in a matter of weeks.
As with all sectors, reliance on paper and post did used to cause delays, but more recently operations systems have been developed that substantially speed up the transfer process with minimum hassle for the client, says Teper.
We know how agonising paperwork can be, and try to reduce the pain as much as we can, adds Giles Rowe, Chief Executive of Henderson Rowe. Technology helps greatly and we use Smartsearch for Anti-Money Laundering checks for example, so there is usually no need for clients to bring in their passports or get a notarised signature on a copy of it, and no need to dig up electricity or other bills.
Clients will therefore find things progress far more quickly than they might fear. Most transfers are completed in around three to six weeks depending on what's held in the portfolio, with portfolios of individual shares usually quicker than portfolios of funds, says Carroll.
Finally, bear in mind that your investments might mean a slightly staggered exit is best – but this still won't take long.
Occasionally it makes sense for the incumbent to liquidate holdings in a staged manner and transfer cash to us which can be quicker and more efficient, says Kate Leppard, Deputy Head of UK Wealth Management at Cazenove Capital. Direct equities and bonds are quick and easy to transfer (a matter of days), while funds can take longer (2-4 weeks), especially offshore unregulated vehicles (4-8 weeks), where we are in the hands of the transfer agents and administrators.
In summary, while it might be easy to stick with the status quo, you may have nothing to lose and a very great deal to gain through changing your wealth manager – and the process could be a lot quicker and painless than you previously imagined, even if you have multiple accounts.
