Opened in 1937, the Wellesley was originally built as a cinema. This was later converted for theatre use with the addition of backstage facilities (dressing rooms, green room and scene dock) and a flying gallery.
The original art-deco interior of the building has been well preserved and the building remains open as a cinema all year round, with films making way for WAA stage performances for two weeks each year (the pantomime in January and musical in May).
Backstage there are 2 dressing rooms, a green room, a scene dock as well as toilet facilities. We also own three portacabins which we use as extra dressing rooms to accommodate larger casts.
There is a large flying gallery above the stage running on a hemp flying system. This allows us to fly in both set and cloths as well as flying lighting and tab tracks.
The stage benefits from a stage extension which was further extended in the late 2000's giving us much more space on the stage. It also features a trap door just behind the tab line which was dug out for a beanstalk to grow out of for the pantomime 'Jack & The Beanstalk' in 2000.
We are always looking for help - and not just on stage... could this person be you?!

The snail speed development that has greeted Nigeria's broadband development in the last one year has become a source of worry to telecommunications companies in the country.
The companies, under the aegis of the Association of Telecoms Companies of Nigeria (ATCON), claimed that there have not been any activities in the last few months towards the realization of ubiquitous broadband in the country.
Speaking through its president, Lanre Ajayi, during a visit to the Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Prof. Umar Danbatta, ATCON claimed that it noticed with regret the poor implementation of the National Broadband plan.
Ajayi said the plan, which aimed to increase broadband penetration in Nigeria from six per cent in 2013 to 30 per cent in 2018 has only been able to increase penetration to 10 per cent in 2016.
"We noticed that most of the timelines are not met and there is general poor supervision of the plan implementation. We call for the strengthening of the National Broadband Council and an accelerated action on the implementation of the plan", he stated.
While appreciating NCC for the introduction of Infrastructure Companies (InfraCos), Ajayi said the association believed that the process has the capability to address the issue of non-openness to backhaul access.
The association, however, said, "we are concerned that licensing of InfraCo operators are being unduely delayed. We are also particularly concerned that license is being limited to one operator per defined geographic zone. We believe having just one operator in a zone creates monopoly and it may inadvertently bring us back to the dreadful days of NITEL.
Furthermore, ATCON is of the opinion that the Nigerian market is matured enough to have a secondary spectrum market.
According to Ajayi, currently, there is large number of idle spectrums in custody of some operators while numerous investors are yearning for spectrum to roll out services. He stressed that since it takes a lot of hurdles to retrieve such spectrum from the owners, it makes sense to allow such owners sell to new buyers who may have a need for the spectrum.
However, he said participation at secondary market should be limited to those who obtained spectrum through competitive bidding, like auction, to avoid a scenario where people use their contact to obtain spectrum from government and sell in the secondary market.
ATCON also used the visit to express its concern about the handling of the fine given to MTN in respect of non-compliance to regulation on SIM card registration.
Ajayi, who reminded the commission that the idea of introducing SIM card registration emanated from ATCON and was resisted by many when it was suggested, said the campaign for the introduction of SIM card registration was not intended to be used to raise fund for government, nor the process becoming a tool to kill telecoms operators.
"Our singular intention was to protect the environment where we do business even if it means initial loss of business to telecoms operators as a result of its potential to slow down uptake of telephone services by customers. We have watched with regret the poor handling of the issue, the politicisation, remarks based on emotion and not on the objectives of the fine.
According to him, the opinion of ATCON is that MTN has suffered sufficient losses: loss of reputation, loss of market value, loss of revenue and have learnt their lessons. "We are of the opinion that the fine should be reviewed downward to a figure not more than their profit for one year. This should be enough to serve as deterrent for future breaches while ensuring that they are kept in business to provide Nigerians services that we badly needed at this stage of our development.

White Goodman
rating 10.0/10 (2 users)
Living... in Los Angeles, but he will be going to Las Vegas soon for the International Dodgeball Open with his team, the Purple Cobras.
Profession... owner and founder of Globo Gym, a state-of-the-art fitness facility. Their motto: "We're better than you…and we know it!" White and his staffers treat having a spare tire like a disease, and don't allow overweight or lazy people to use their gym.
Interests… taking over his rival Peter La Fleur's gym. White doesn't think Average Joe's Gym deserves to be open; all the people who work out there are such losers. Since Peter hasn't paid his mortgage, his gym is about to be foreclosed, and White has plans to turn it into a parking lot for the already massive Globo Gym.
Relationship Status... single. White is convinced that the attractive lawyer Kate is interested in him, but in reality she is repulsed by his cockiness. Ever since she turned down a date with him and started hanging out with the losers at Average Joe's Gym, White has loathed her.
Challenge... winning the International Dodgeball Open. It isn't just pride that's motivating White to win the tournament – there's also $50,000 on the line. If Peter wins the money, he could potentially stop Average Joe's from closing, which White deems totally unacceptable. But with such large, muscular people on the Purple Cobras, White can't imagine them losing, especially not to the underdogs on Peter's team.
Personality... egomaniacal, though it's unclear what he is so arrogant about. Even he admits that he is not the brightest crayon in the box. As he says, "I don't think I'm a lot dumber than you thought that I think that I thought I was once."
White Goodman's popularity ranking on CharacTour is #3634 out of 5,600+ characters. See our top-ranked characters and read their profiles.
When megalomaniacal White Goodman, the owner of a trendy, high-end fitness center, makes a move to take over the struggling local gym run by happy-go-lucky Pete La Fleur, there's only one way for La Fleur to fight back: dodgeball. Aided by a dodgeball guru and Goodman's attorney, La Fleur and his rag-tag team of underdogs launch a knock-down, drag-out battle in which the winner takes all.


Christmas is a time of joy, right? Time off work; enjoying family; giving gifts; special meals; special events with friends; sentimental associations from childhood and a time to set aside one's problems for a while. All we need to do is hear the Christmas music and see the decorations to be joyful and happy.
Yet, as you know, for some, Christmas can be a time of real sadness. If many have time off work, some don't have a job or are working several jobs with no time off. If many enjoy family, some have family brokenness or even no family. If many give and receive gifts, some don't have the money to do this. If many have special meals, some can't afford this either. If many go to special events with friends, some don't have friends to go out with. If many have sentimental remembrances, some didn't have a good childhood and so it can bring back bad memories. If many are able to set aside their problems – some are reminded of specific tragedies that have happened at this time of year, or losses from the past year.
So for one or more of these reasons, simply to hear the music and to see the decorations brings sadness or even depression. You can't seem to enter in and be happy, and it makes you sadder when you see others experiencing joy, when you can't.
Notice, the angel said nothing about time off work; family; gift giving; meals; special events with friends; sentimental associations from childhood; or a special time to set aside problems for a while. This is the cultural part of Christmas; the human traditions that have accumulated around our celebration of Christmas.
Think of Mary and Joseph. They were obeying an imperial edict to be registered in a census. I'm sure they weren't excited about having to do this at the very time when Mary was due to give birth. I don't think it was fun to have to put Jesus in an animal feed-trough because there wasn't enough room for them in a home or an inn. They certainly weren't enjoying what we associate with celebrating Christmas.
Think of the Shepherds as well. They took a brief break from their work to go see the baby and then went back. They had none of the trappings of our cultural traditions.
Our Messiah and Lord has come someone who can save us. Someone who can help us in our difficulties, provide for our needs, and give us the promise of a better future. And this is what gives us both hope and joy.
This is a message precisely for those who are sad and who don't have what they want at this time of year. And it's for all of us who have problems. You don't need a savior if you have nothing to be saved from, right?
The true meaning of Christmas can give us all joy precisely because we do have problems, pain and brokenness.
Jesus is the savior. He has come. And he can help us. And this is what we celebrate. So let's celebrate with vigor and great joy! A joy that cannot be taken away no matter what our circumstances are.


A crew of volunteers at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum has rebuilding a DHC-5 Buffalo. Check out their web site at: http://home.cogeco.ca/~bou2crew/index.htm The museum is located at Hamilton International Airport in Ontario, Canada. The aircraft they have rebuilded is cn # 85 delivered in May, 1978 to the Sudan Air Force as tail number 811. The aircraft was stored at an airfield in Greenville, South Carolina. In the fall of 2002, Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum got control of the aircraft and brought it back to Canada.
Buffalo 9 (click on photo) is a tribute to the Canadian Peacekeepers and the crew and passengers of the last flight of Canadian Forces Buffalo 115461. On August 9, 1974, Canadian Forces Buffalo 115461 was on a scheduled supply flight from Ismailia, Egypt to Damascus, Syria. Shortly after crossing the Lebanese-Syrian border into Syria, three surface-to-air missiles were fired at the Buffalo resulting in the destruction of the aircraft and the deaths of nine Canadian Forces peacekeepers. Jim Griffith wrote this tribute and Dave O'Malley added the photos and sub titles.
The aircraft is painted, this photo was taken on November 22, 2008 by Kevin Suwala.
We have made good progress on the DHC-5 restoration. We have finally attached wings and tail. It now looks like an aircraft.. Outer wings and empenage are painted. This summer we will work on painting the fuselage and installing props.
>>> Bruce Gall of the Buffalo Restoration Team took this photo on April 22, 2006. It was grey and drizzly out - so it is a bit dull looking. The tarps and tires are now gone from the top.
The Buffalo Restoration Crew send me the following photos to display on my site for all to enjoy.
<<< Buffalo (cn #85) on a truck when it first showed up at the museum in 2002.
>>> The Buff was in the barn shown where we restored the nose. Here it is being pulled out of the barn and onto the museum ramp to attach the centre-wing section.
<<< Taken while attaching the aft fuselage.
>>> Shows out biggest challenge - the missing nose gear wheel well as delivered.
<<< Shows partially attached new nose from Buffalo CN 1. Not a perfect fit since our Buff is a DHC-5D which has some differences in dimension in this nose section.
>>> Moving the fuselage under the centre section.
<<< With wing attached and gear extended. Behind is the museum's ex-FedEx 727.

Ego and Cooperation Theme Analysis
LitCharts assigns a color and icon to each theme in The Devil in the White City, which you can use to track the themes throughout the work.
The designers of the World's Fair are enormously successful people even before they complete the exhibition — and they know it. Burnham, Olmsted, Sullivan, Root, Ferris, and their colleagues are proud and more than a little arrogant. They get involved with the Fair in order to ensure that their architectural legacies will survive long after they die. The size and scale of the buildings they design testify to their enormous ambitions.
The designers' egocentrism takes different forms. Sullivan and Olmsted oppose the towering scale and imposing style of the World's Fair because they find it bombastic, old-fashioned, and disruptive to the fun of the event. But this certainly doesn't mean that Sullivan and Olmsted are more humble than their colleagues. Olmsted, who designed Central Park in New York City, cares deeply about his colleagues' opinion of him; the same is true of Sullivan. Olmsted is a landscape architect, and he understands that his designs' success hinges on their harmony with the other design. In other words, he knows that he needs to cooperate with the other ambitious architects if he is to be personally successful.
In general, Larson suggests that creative geniuses have to balance ego and cooperation if they are to succeed. The career of Daniel Burnham may be the best example of this principle. Burnham is motivated by his own selfish ambitions. Because he was rejected from Harvard and Yale as a young man, he wants to impress the Eastern American architects. But in spite of his ambitions, Burnham excels at cooperating with others. His partnership with John Root, and later, his skillful negotiations with the other architects at the World's Fair, hinge upon his acknowledgment that he can't do everything himself.
By and large, Larson makes fun of people who are too egocentric. Harriet Monroe, who publishes a poem commemorating the Dedication Day ceremonies at the World's Fair and arrogantly thinks that it is a brilliant achievement, ends up burning her own work for kindling. Although ego is necessary for completing monumental tasks like the construction of the White City, it's not enough, especially in a largely anonymous field like architecture. (After all, only a small handful of people alive today have even heard of Daniel Burnham or the 1893 World's Fair, at least before reading The Devil in the White City.) Without cooperation to temper ego, nothing can be accomplished.

Part 2, Chapter 1 Quotes
The dome was too much — not too tall to be built, simply too proud for its context. It would diminish Hunt's building and in so doing diminish Hunt and disrupt the harmony of the other structures on the Grand Court.

The shared vision expressed in their drawings struck [Olmsted} as being too sober and monumental. After all, this was a world's fair, and fairs should be fun.
Related Characters: Frederick Law Olmsted
At Jackson Park, aggravation was endemic. Simple matters, Burnham found, often became imbroglios. Even Olmsted had become an irritant. He was brilliant and charming, but once fixed on a thing, he was as unyielding as a slab of Joliet limestone.
Related Characters: Daniel Burnham, Frederick Law Olmsted
If an engineer capable of besting Eiffel did not step forward soon, Burnham knew, there simply would not be enough time left to build anything worthy of the fair. Somehow [Burnham] needed to rouse the engineers of America.
Related Characters: Daniel Burnham
Unlike the majority of the audience, Monroe believed the poem to be rather a brilliant work, so much so that she had hired a printer to produce five thousand copies for sale to the public. She sold few and attributed the debacle to America's fading love of poetry. That winter she burned the excess copies for fuel.
Related Characters: Harriet Monroe
Part 3, Chapter 11 Quotes
The exposition was Chicago's great pride. Thanks mainly to Daniel Burnham the city had proved it could accomplish something marvelous against obstacles that by any measure should have humbled the builders.
Epilogue, Chapter 1 Quotes
As Wright's academic star rose, so too did Sullivan's. Burnham's fell from the sky. It became re rigueur among architecture critics and historians to argue that Burnham in his insecurity and slavish devotion to the classical yearnings of the eastern architects had indeed killed American architecture. But that view was too simplistic, as some architecture historians and critics have more recently acknowledged. The fair awakened America to beauty and as such was a necessary passage that laid the foundation for men like Frank Lloyd Wright …
Related Characters: Daniel Burnham, Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright
The fair's greatest impact lay in how it changed the way Americans perceived their cities and their architects. It primed the whole of America — not just a few rich architectural patrons — to think of cities in a way they never had before.

A honeywagon is the slang term for a "vacuum truck" for collecting and carrying human excreta. These vehicles may be used to empty the sewage tanks of buildings, aircraft lavatories, passenger train toilets and at campgrounds and marinas as well as portable toilets. The folk etymology behind the name 'honeywagon' is thought to relate to the honey-colored liquid that comes out of it when emptying the holding tanks.

History
The honey wagon was originally a horse-drawn vehicle that went through back alleys to collect human excreta. Houses at that time did not have flush toilets or indeed any form of indoor sanitation beyond the chamberpot. In rural areas the outhouse (privy) is associated with a pit latrine of various sorts, but many towns and cities depended on some variant of the pail closet, which needed frequent emptying.  At each outdoor toilet, the driver (honey dipper) would stop the wagon, flip up the back hatch door (trap-door) of the outhouse, slide out the pail (bucket), pick it up, and dump the contents into one of eight oak half-barrels in the wagon box. The half-barrels had no lids. These toilets were known as dunnies in Australia, hence the "dunnywagon" driven by "dunnymen".

Use in film and television industry
A honeywagon is a portable toilet unit used in the film and television industry.  Many take the form of a specialized semi-trailer.

In the UK a honeywagon usually refers to a set of toilets used by the cast and crew. These come in all shapes and sizes - either trailer-base or built into the box body of a truck. In America, the term honeywagon is usually given to a truck, trailer or combination of both with a number of dressing rooms for the actor. These either have individual toilets or a communal set built in. Some honeywagons will be just two large toilets. Others are a combination of variously sized rooms for specific purposes: these rooms can be private dressing rooms assigned to a single person, larger rooms configured for the wardrobe, or makeup departments, small individual toilets for the crew to share, and multiple user or individual shower rooms for bathing.

Operation
The operator connects a hose to the discharge outlet on the recreational vehicle, boat or building and pumps the waste into the wagon's holding tank. When the tank is full, the operator should empty the tank at an approved holding tank dump station or sewage lagoon.

Once everything is clean, you're ready to re-assemble the machine. At this point, I opted for a glass of wine. Your choice of red or white.
Open Spaces: Exploring Eyelets, Ladders and Slits is done and out for proofing and my SK860 was as dirty as a machine could possibly be. I decided to give it a good cleaning this week – and to take pictures so I could share the info with you. If you click on each picture they enlarge, which makes it even easier to see details. Remember, I am not a certified repair person so take no responsibility for your errors – just trying to help here because dealers are so few and far between these days. That is the price we all pay for those great used buys on eBay….
1 You don't have to be a mechanic to do this, but plan on spending several hours and be ready to get dirty.
2 I number the compartments in an egg carton and I keep a pad of paper next to me where I write down everything I do. The numbers on the list coordinate with the numbers on the egg carton. If there are no screws or parts to remove, I leave the compartment in the egg carton empty, but I still write down what I did as a numbered step.
3 I always take cell phone photos while I work (though I used a good SLR for these shots) and make a note on my pad when I do so. You can never have enough evidence/notes/photos to guide you. Remember that what comes apart needs to go back together again with no extra parts left over.
4 My SK860 is a Silver Reed machine. Years back I took apart a number of machines with the wonderful Dave Bratz to guide me – I still hear his voice when I do this. However, I have never taken a Brother machine apart and have no idea how to do so – please do not use this as a guide for a Brother machine! They have a timing belt built into the bed that requires more knowledge than I have on the matter. Also, if you have a Silver punchcard machine you will need to remove the knobs on the top of the card reader in order to get the case off. I don't have a punchcard here to double check, but there may also be a couple more screws – just use your head and take notes and photos.
5 You will need the following tools: metric screw drivers in 2 sizes. Studio used to sell a pair of screw drivers for the machines. You can check with Needle-Tek to see if they are still available. They may also be able to tell you what metric size to buy locally and they sell oil and parts and sponge bars and such. A magnet is handy for picking up small screws. Canned air helps clean the fuzz out of the bed, but be aware that this is greasy fuzz and will stain your clothes and furnishings! Rags, paper towels, denatured alcohol, knitting machine oil. I am not a fan of silicone because I am skeptical that I can clean off old residue as easily. Maybe a hand held vacuum. An old towel to lay the machine on. Small nut wrench and/or small pliers.
6 This is a great time to replace worn or broken parts so do not put the machine back together with damaged pieces. You can wait a week for new ones to arrive.
7 Lock the cat/dog out of the room while you work. Ready?
First, remove the 2 handle screws and put them in the #1 compartment of your egg carton. Write it down as step #1 on your list.
Next remove the 2 case screws behind the handle.
Remove the tiny screw in each of the latches. I'm not sure you really have to, but I did just in case they hold anything else. The latches stay attached to the case.
Remove 1 screw at the back on each end of the case.
Remove the top screw at each end of the case.
Turn the machine over and remove the 8 screws on the bottom of the case.
Turn the machine back over and remove the 2 flat screws at each end of the bed.
Then remove the 2 screws at each end that attach the ribber holder plates to the machine.
Its a good idea to mark which is left or right as mine were slightly different. Also note how they fit into the opening.
Slide the end caps off the machine. Just for the record, this is the part that is often damaged when shipping machines so look for damage if you bought a used machine.
There are 3 square nuts embedded inside each end cap and they MUST remain in place. I use a small piece of masking tape under each one to make sure they do. Without the tape, this is a pesky thing to line up later on so do it now.
Slide the bed out of the case. Note the position of the rubber pads so you know how to replace them later. Take them out and set aside. Start wiping up dust and crud about now!
Remove the 6 screws that hold the needle bed bracer/case mount in place. Again, note which way it lies for later. Are you taking enough pictures?
Remove the 4 screws holding each of the needle bed bracers/clamp mounts in place. Before you do, use a magic marker to mark their exact placement as this is a part that has some adjustment to it. You definitely want them even when you replace them or you will have trouble getting your ribber adjusted.
Deep breath. Turn the machine over and remove the 11 screws holding the straight edge of the needle stopper plate in place. Then remove the 3 screws along the other edge. Keep them separate just to be sure.
When you remove the needle stopper plate (previous step), it reveals the leaf spring. Take a minute to see how it is positioned so that each tine of the spring lies on top of a needle slot and the tines face the back of the bed.
Lift off the leaf spring and behold a lot of crud! Greasy crud! Also take a minute to inspect the leaf spring for damage – which happens when you badly jam a carriage. This is a part you should replace if it is damaged. Do something else until the part is ordered and received. You've come too far to start skimping!
Crud. Felted greasy crud. All the colors I used in the new book!
I knew just where to look on the sinker plate for these bad guys. Every time my carriage passed this point I felt a knock. I was able to GENTLY press these prongs back into line. Whew!
Remove the number strip and all of the needles. I could have done this sooner and made things easier to handle, but I thought they might give the photos some perspective and reference. If you bother to read all of this before your begin, do yourself a favor and remove them sooner. More crud. Good time to check the sponge bar for replacing and before removing the needles, push them all forward and check for bent needles – you probably stuck them in the end of the bed when you needed replacements. Time to order some nice straight new ones!
Remove the 15 nuts and tiny bolts along the front edge of the machine. I find it easiest to do by sliding the machine just over the edge the table. Chances are that if you found any lose screws in the machine this where they came from. You're welcome! The sinker posts are snapped into the edge of the bed in pairs and may or may not stay in place when you finish unscrewing all of the tiny, hard to hold not nuts/bolts. Remember the magnet I suggested.
My sinker posts did not stay in place, which gave me a chance to wipe them down and look for bent ones. Lift the bed off the sinker plate. This is as far as you need to strip the machine to do a good thorough cleaning – get started! You might want to use some denatured alcohol to wipe things down, including the needles. You'll be amazed how grubby everything is!
Reinsert the sinker posts into the edge of the sinker plate. I'll bet you didn't know that the posts are in pairs like this, which makes it so easy to replace damaged posts.
Place the bed on top of the sinker plate with the sinker posts pointing up. Replace the 15 nuts/bolts along the front edge by inserting and tightening the one on each end first to secure things and then do the rest of them in between. Make sure none of the sinker posts is dislodged in the process.
Before replacing the leaf spring, wipe it down with oil because the needles slide against this piece when you knit and without oil, the machine will bind and you could damage the leaf spring. Make sure it is positioned with the tines pointing to the back of the bed and each tine over a needle slot. A good leaf spring is essential to correct needle action.
Replace the needle stopper by screwing in the 11 screws on one edge and 3 on the other.
Replace the needle bed bracer/case mount and the clamp braces at each side of it.
We're almost done! Slide the machine back into the case. Replace the end caps, paying special attention to the square nuts I mentioned earlier – you were warned! Screw the end caps in place and then replace the ribber mounts in each end. Replace the case screws on the top, back and underside. Then replace the screws in the latches, handle and under handle. Replace the number strip (did you order a nice clean new one?) and the needles.
At this point the machine reminds me of my teeth after a dental cleaning – when I swear I will never eat again so I can savor the squeaky clean. Forget it – the machine needs oil and you will probably need to oil heavily for the first few times you use it to get the machine purring again. So, put some oil on a rag and liberally oil the rail and the needle butts so they do not dry out.
At this point, I usually give the carriage a good cleaning and next time I will show you how I do that. We will not, however, be taking carriages apart!
Keep in mind that it is never a good idea to over-tighten screws because they can chew away at the threads/hole they are supposed to secure and you also run the risk of stripping the slot at the top for next time. If you need replacement parts for Studio – and some Brother as well – contact Jerry at Needle-Tek. If you now have a better appreciation for what goes into a good cleaning and would prefer to pay someone else to do it, contact Harold Shafer at The Knit Knack Shop.
I can guarantee you that if you do clean your own machine, you will gain greater understanding of how the machine works and find it easier to diagnose problems that occur from time to time. Like I said, I knew from the way the carriage always knocked at the same place that I needed to get a look at my sinker plate. And I learned about re-oiling the leaf spring from the one time I did not and the needle action was heavy and hard.
If you do a Google search for "knitting machine parts catalogues" you will find many of them on line. If not, it would be worth paying for one so you have the right name and part numbers for future reference.
I hope some of you find this helpful and at least informative. It isn't difficult to do, but you do need to work slowly and have patience; take notes and photos. Let me know how it goes!

The Biden administration announces ban on import of Russian energy commodities and prohibition on new investment in the Russian energy sector
New General License provides wind-down period until April 22, 2022 for certain energy imports from Russia pursuant to agreements entered into before March 8, 2022
EU and UK expand their sanctions programs against Russia and Belarus, including additional sanctions on oligarchs
FinCEN issued an alert to all financial institutions to be vigilant against efforts to evade the expansive sanctions and other restrictions imposed in connection with the invasion of Ukraine
I. Biden Administration Import and Investment Ban Related to Russian Energy
On March 8, 2022, the Biden administration announced its widely anticipated ban on the import of Russian oil and other energy-related commodities, a further escalation of the extensive sanctions and export controls implemented by the administration in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Executive Order ("E.O.") 14066 prohibits:
the import of "crude oil; petroleum; petroleum fuels, oils and products of their distillation; liquefied natural gas; coal; and coal products" originating in the Russian Federation.
new investment by U.S. persons in the energy sector in the Russian Federation. The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") provided guidance that the "energy sector" includes "the procurement, exploration, extraction, drilling, mining, harvesting, production, refinement, liquefaction, gasification, regasification, conversion, enrichment, fabrication, or transport of petroleum, natural gas, liquified natural gas, natural gas liquids, or petroleum products or other products capable of producing energy, such as coal or wood or agricultural products used to manufacture biofuels, the development, production, generation, transmission or exchange of power, through any means, including nuclear, electrical, thermal, and renewable."
any approval, financing, facilitation, or guarantee by a U.S. person, wherever located, of a transaction by a foreign person where the transaction by that foreign person would be prohibited if performed by a U.S. person or within the U.S.
OFAC has published FAQ guidance clarifying that the prohibitions on new investment in the Russian energy sector under E.O. 14066 do not apply to energy sector activities initiated before March 8, 2022. Further, OFAC has also clarified that transactions undertaken to unwind existing commitments in order to comply with E.O. 14066 or redirect shipments-in-process are not prohibited. Moreover, OFAC has issued a new General License 16, which authorizes, through April 22, 2022, all transactions ordinarily incident and necessary to the importation from Russia of crude oil, petroleum, petroleum fuels, oils, and products of their distillation, liquefied natural gas, coal, and coal products pursuant to written contracts or agreements entered into prior to March 8, 2022.
In addition, General License 8A which authorizes certain transactions "related to energy" involving specified sanctioned Russian financial institutions, including State Corporation Bank for Development and Foreign Economic Affairs Vnesheconombank, Public Joint Stock Company Bank Financial Corporation Otkritie, Sovcombank Open Joint Stock Company, Public Joint Stock Company Sberbank of Russia, VTB Bank Public Joint Stock Company, and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, remains in effect until June 24, 2022. However, this general license does not authorize any transactions prohibited by E.O. 14066.
II. Expansion of EU and UK Sanctions
The UK and EU have also announced new restrictions targeting Russian oligarchs and expanding existing sanctions programs. On March 9, 2022, the EU announced expansive new sanctions targeting the financial sector of Belarus, as well as export controls directed towards the Russian maritime and shipping industry, and a new round of sanctions on Russian individuals.
In addition to 146 members of the Russian Federation Council, the following fourteen oligarchs and prominent businesspeople were sanctioned by the EU:
Alexander Pumpyansky;
Alexander Vinokurov;
Andrey Melnichenko;
Dmitry Pumpyansky;
Dmitry Mazepin;
Galina Pumpyanskaya;
Mikhail Oseevsky;
Mikhail Poluboyarinov;
Sergey Kulikov;
Vadim Moshkovich;
Vladimir Kiriyenko;
Andrey Guryev;
Dmitry Konov; and
Nikita Dmitrievich.
Similarly, on March 10, 2022 the UK announced a freeze of UK-based assets and a ban on transactions with seven oligarchs:
Roman Abramovich;
Oleg Deripaska;
Igor Sechin;
Andrey Kostin,
Alexi Miller;
Nikolai Tokarev; and
Dmitri Lebedev.
III. New FinCEN Alert Calls for Increased Vigilance Against Russian Sanctions Evasion Attempts
On March 7, 2022 the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN") issued an alert to all financial institutions to be vigilant against efforts to evade the expansive sanctions and other restrictions imposed in connection with the invasion of Ukraine. FinCEN stressed that financial institutions have an obligation to quickly report any suspicious activity that may be associated with potential sanctions evasion and highlighted various red flags (including the use of shell companies or third parties to obscure ownership). The alert included reminders describing good due diligence practices, and noted reporting expectations across multiple agencies with overlapping jurisdiction. FinCEN emphasized the heightened risks posed by virtual currency transactions as a mechanism for sanctions evasion, and underscored prior guidance concerning Russian ransomware attacks and other cybercrime.
Foley Hoag will continue to provide updates as the situation with respect to Ukraine develops. Companies with questions about these actions or how to ensure compliance with U.S. sanctions and export control regulations should contact a member of Foley Hoag's Trade Sanctions & Export Controls practice. For information on earlier Russia-related actions, see our prior Client Alerts issued on March 7, March 1, February 28, and February 17.

Please complete the following equation: * five × nine =


Proposed date of publication: 30 June 2019.
In 2019 it will be 20 years since the launch of the euro. Throughout that period of time, 10 years of relative prosperity preceded another 10 years during which there has been a serious economic crisis, from which we are emerging slowly and which has almost cost us the breakdown of the euro. The crisis has made four things clear.
First, that the eurozone lacked the mechanisms required to correct the imbalances that accumulated throughout the prosperity phase.
Second, that the eurozone lacked the necessary institutions to implement an economic policy alternative to fiscal austerity and wage devaluation.
Third, that such institutions tend to generate a strong backlash, especially in the country with the greatest economic weight in the area, Germany, and that it would only accept a greater level of integration in exchange for more economic discipline at the national level.
The fourth point is that, without the institutional ingredients that are present in a full monetary union, the process of emerging from the crisis is delayed significantly, is weak and is notably non-inclusive.
A single central bank and multiple fiscal authorities.
Limits and alternatives for macroeconomic policies.
Causes, consequences and economic policies to fight it.
Euro governance. Coordination of national policies vs. increased economic and political integration.
A federal union of states or a confederate model. Implications for economic policy.
REC will select up to six papers for publication.
Decision accepted / rejected: 30 July 2018.
Submissions should be sent to revistaec@gmail.com with the subject "20 years euro".


Tony: So what you're saying is that I'm actually inside Kafka's book?
Tony: [Interrupting] And then I can go to the castle?
Innkeeper: [Sighs] No. Then you may have access to someone who might know someone who occasionally has access to a person who works in a capacity loosely connected with the Castle… [Pauses] …if you're lucky.
Innkeeper: [Standing up] There you are, my friend, the answer to your prayers! [Points to the newcomer] This is Barnabas, and he is a messenger from the Castle! [Addresses Barnabas] Do you have a message for our foreign friend?
Barnabas: [Sheepishly] I never said it was a message from the Castle now, did I?
Tony: Here you are, take this back to the bus for me, will you?
Innkeeper: [Curious] What did you say?
Tony: [Sitting down at the table again] Oh, I just told Gary to stick the German TV adaptation of Buddenbrooks on the DVD player – should keep the Mann fans quiet for a good few hours.
So, tell me, what do you think of the castle?
Tony: Well, yes, but what I'm trying to get at here is the idea behind the castle, what it represents, the metaphor behind the reality if you will. [The Innkeeper nods cautiously.] I mean, look, there are a lot of possibilities, the bureaucracy, that's one, the castle could be representative of our inability to penetrate the thick red tape surrounding us and preventing us from enjoying our daily lives. Or, or… [Waves his arms in the air as if clutching for words] …it could all be a religious metaphor, the castle as heaven and all the people down below in the village looking for the best way to get to the castle, confused as to the best way in, distracted by all the earthly, that is to say, village diversions… [The Innkeeper nods again.] …it has to be that, right? What do you think?
Hehe, Act Two is even better… I'm really curious , hope Act Three is up tomorrow….
"I was planning to be in Hohen-Cremmen on Saturday" .. Classic. I really did laugh out loud!
I've checked my equity card & alls fine, will send you details of where to send my earnings, tho will bargain if I get a beer, this tour bus is getting a bit fractious.

Report: Justin Herbert among 100,000 people forced to evacuate homes due to wildfires
As part of a report that was sent out on Tuesday afternoon, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero noted that Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is among 100,000 people who have been evacuated due to the ongoing wildfires in the Southern California area.
Several #Chargers staff and players, including QB Justin Herbert, are among over 100,000 people evacuated from their homes amidst the Southern California wildfires, per sources. Team assisting and everyone settled in hotels. No change to preparations for Sunday's game at Denver.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) October 27, 2020
The Silverado Fire and Blue Ridge Fire are burning in Orange County, California. According to a report from CNN, these fires have burned more than 10,000 acres collectively. Moreover, the Silverado blaze quadrupled in size Monday.
Southern California Edison believes a downed power line may have been the cause for the Silverado Fire, which has scorched 7,200 acres near Irvine, California.
"…(It) appears that a lashing wire attached to a telecommunications line may have contacted SCE's power line above it, possibly starting the fire," SCE spokesman Chris Abel told CNN.
Justin Herbert and the Chargers, who are now 2-4 overall, are scheduled to face the Broncos in Denver this Sunday. Kick-off is set for 4:05 p.m. ET, with CBS having live broadcast coverage.
In his last outing — a 39-29 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday — Herbert completed 27 of his 43 passes, racking up 347 yards and three touchdowns. Impressively, the former Oregon standout finished with a 11.3 QB rating for the game. His favorite receiver was Keenan Allen, who recorded 10 catches for 125 yards. In total, Herbert spread the ball around to eight different receivers. Notably, he finished as the Chargers' leading rusher and scored one touchdown on the ground himself.
Join us in sending prayers to those who have been affected by the ongoing fires in Southern California.

Retail Therapy: Why The Retail Industry Is Broken – And What Can Be Done To Fix It
By: Mark Pilkington
You save Rs 139.75.
Only 14 item(s) left.
Almost weekly, the news is full of stories about disappearing retail chains. From House of Fraser and BHS to Toys'R'Us and Sears, recognised names are vanishing overnight - as such large organizations disappear, so the malls, shopping centres, high streets and main streets become emptier and less appealing to visit.
The retail sector is hugely important in terms of job numbers: in the US, it employs around 30 million people (directly and indirectly); in the UK, around 10 million. As such, anything that jeopardises the retail sector will have a deep and lasting impact on millions of lives, as well as on public policy. While many blame the 'Amazon effect', this is an oversimplification. Deeper forces are at work that are changing people's relationships with brands, the balance of power between producers and consumers, and the whole nature of the supply chain that has existed since the industrial revolution.
Retail Therapy offers a comprehensive analysis of these forces and their impact on the world of retailing. More importantly, it presents a cogent analysis of the longer term trends that are shaping retailing, and outlines a clear road map for sustainable success in the future.

The Structure of Therapeutic Genius is a project focused on bringing up the true structure of the therapeutic sessions of selected therapists around the world. The Idea is based on the observation of the inconsistency between the results that are usually obtained by therapists from various schools and those achieved by the founders of these schools. This observation brought us to the conclusion, that there is a set of unconsciously acquired knowledge, in the form of procedures, which is not properly verbalized nor taught. The reason for it lays probably in the nature of the learning process in which most of the skill acquisition takes place by exercising and by ongoing practice. In this way much of the process takes place without subject awareness. Secondly the final stage of the skill acquisition is the unconscious competence, which also makes it hard for subject to verbalize the exact approach the subject is using.
The purpose of this research project is to find and identify these patterns in their behavior that facilitates the process of change and make them available for other specialists to learn.
The methods that we apply in this project are mostly qualitative. The whole analysis is performed in the grounded theory paradigm. The effectiveness of the created solutions is constantly tested in the clinical settings and in various different contexts.
The outcomes of the study will be gathered together in a form of a publication and presented to the public.

Solving the Problem of Religion
The interplay between business interests and government in the U.S. is causing concern across the political spectrum. Regardless of which party is in office, major industry players wielding multi-billion dollar lobbies are finding a seat at the negotiating table. Tea Party patriots and Occupy Wall protesters seem to be manifestations of different sides of the same coin. They worry that things have gotten out of control, that Wall Street should not have been bailed out, and that somehow financial interests are too well represented in government.
"But what can we do about it?"
As it turns out, a lot. We can learn a little bit more about this great country we live in, which has solved this problem before — and brilliantly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In 18th Century America one of the many perplexities that the American Founders had to cope with was the interplay between religion and government.
In Europe, the relationship between Church and State began during the reign of the Roman Emperor Constantine I, who converted to Christianity and granted property to the Catholic Bishop of Rome. Christianity later became the dominant/official religion of the Roman Empire. Subsequently the Church as political power perpetrated many atrocities such as the Crusades and Inquisitions. Isn't this right?
Not completely.
For some reason in the U.S. we (myself included!) often equate "religion" with "Christianity". The reality is that religion has at almost all times and all places been related to political power, and for good reason. Being able to control people's moral convictions — their views on right and wrong, and who they obey — has tremendous value. For example, before Constantine the Roman Empire was surprisingly tolerant of the different religions practiced by its conquered nations, but not completely so. The Romans believed in many gods and viewed their Emperor as one of them. There was no inherent conflict between the gods of subservient peoples and the Roman gods per se because the Roman gods were more like immortal men and women, not absolute and exclusive beings. As tolerant as they were, the Romans did insist that one religious dogma be observed throughout the empire. Would you like to guess what that was? That the Emperor was a deity to be worshiped by all Roman subjects.
This is partly what led to the early persecution of Christians. Christians didn't recognize the Emperor as a god and were charged and persecuted as "atheists". Their real crime was not threatening Roman religion, but rather undermining Roman authority.
And it has always been thus. Even today, leaders will portray themselves as moral authorities and mythic figures to gain more power over their people. In the People's Republic of China, the State continues to use religion to achieve its political goals (in 2013!!!). Instead of allowing a privately operated Roman Catholic congregation loyal to the Pope, they cleverly set up a Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association that reports to the State Administration for Religious Affairs, and predictably rejects the authority of the Vatican. Nothing like receiving Mass and nationalistic indoctrination at the same time! It's a twofer!
So the American Founders looked closely at a question that had confounded humankind for millennia: "What is the proper role of religion with respect to the state?"
Several of them, including George Washington and Patrick Henry, were not opposed to state sponsorship of religion. They viewed the Protestant teachings of their times as salutary and beneficial, and thought that religion needed encouragement (e.g. tax paying support). In the largest of the 13 Colonies, Virginia, the official religion was the Church of England (Anglican Church). Virginians were forced by law to pay tithes, and membership in the Church was a prerequisite to holding public office. The preaching of other religions was illegal and occasionally Baptist and other ministers would be locked up. It's not difficult to understand why Anglican ministers in various government positions encouraged this state of affairs — it made them better off.
But the insights that clear thinking men like Jefferson and Madison had were that religion became problematic when it was combined with coercion (i.e. the ability to force adherence). And this wasn't just a one way street. It was just as problematic when the government was able to coerce religion. So, in a nutshell, they wondered:
How do we protect people from religious coercion, and religion from political coercion?
Their solution was extremely novel, perhaps not in its rationale, but in its implementation. The first stroke was in 1786 when the Virginia Act for Establishing Religious Freedom was passed with support from Madison and based on an original draft written by Jefferson. The second and most famous stroke was the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Most people have described these solutions as "Separation of Church and State", "establishing a Secular Government", or as "Religious Freedom", but none of these is thoroughly descriptive. For example, do churches operate in the U.S. similar to Indian Reservations, with their own laws, judges, police etc.? Are they truly separate from the State? No. If a clergyman breaks the law, he is still punished. Copyright laws apply to religious texts just as they do to secular texts. They are not separate, then. And for this same reason we do not have infinite religious freedom. Except for rare exceptions like Native Americans smoking peyote, our religious convictions do not give us license to do things (like committing fraud or murder) that would otherwise be considered criminal, regardless of how sincere our belief in those things might be.
The term "Secular Government" is correct if secular means "not overtly or specifically religious", but most often we would think of the term as meaning, "non-religious". Does it give the right impression to say that a government that strongly protects religious liberty, has no connection with the practice of religion? We need a better description.
The text from the 1st Amendment is as follows:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
In other words, Congress has no right to favor or discriminate against any religion with respect to another. It can pass laws affecting the freedom of all citizens (like prohibitions against stealing), but not targeted laws that curtail the practice of a religious activity — like meeting in a group — that is otherwise legal for everyone else. In effect, in America:
All religions must be treated equally by Congress.
All citizens must be treated equally irrespective of their religious convictions.
And this beautifully solved the problem of religious coercion. The State cannot coerce religion because it does not have the power to favor or injure a specific church or creed. By protecting religion from coercion in this way, we also protect ourselves from religious power. Since the government cannot offer favors to religion, religion is not tempted to use the government as a means for increasing its influence. For example, what interest would the Catholic Church have in lobbying Congress if Congress does not have the power to provide a benefit specifically to the Catholic Church? Mormons (Latter-day Saints) cannot use the government to promote the cause of Mormonism because the government has little power to do such a thing. It cannot outlaw the preaching of competing faiths, or conscript citizens to serve Mormon missions.
It matters.
It's only when we have a clear understanding that religious liberty in America boils down to religious equality that we can then apply this same solution to business. The fundamental problems with business are the same:
How do we protect people from commercial coercion, and commerce from political coercion?
And now you know the answer, the one that all Americans embrace every day with respect to religion and that has worked wonderfully for over 200 years:
All industries must be treated equally by Congress.
All businesses and citizens must be treated equally irrespective of their commercial pursuits.
More on this to come.

The United States Women's National Team finally hit a roadblock on their victory tour from this past summer's World Cup victory.
After winning each game on the tour rather easily—the USWNT had yet to win by less than five goals—the United States women had a 1-1 draw with Brazil in their friendly on October 21st at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington. Prior to their match against Brazil, the USWNT faced Haiti two times and won 5-0 and 8-0 and prior to that, faced Costa Rica two times and won 8-0 and 7-2.
With Marta leading the Brazil women, Brazil was in control most of the match after the United States let in a rare early goal. The third-minute goal from Brazil was the fastest goal concession by the United States women this year. In the 85th minute, Carli Lloyd found the back of the net to continue her scoring barrage. It was Lloyd's 17th goal this season and is now two above her career best season.
The second part of the doubleheader with Brazil is this Sunday, October 25th at the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida. USWNT tickets on the secondary market have an average price of $90.58 with a get-in price of $14. Fans looking to experience the victory tour against the toughest opponent the United States will face can use Hipmunk.com to book Orlando flights. To complete travel plans two Orlando hotels on Hipmunk start from less than $50 per night.
There aren't many matches remaining on the victory tour as the season comes to its conclusion. After the second match against Brazil, the USWNT will have over a month off before playing two matches against Trinidad & Tobago on December 6th and December 10th followed by two friendlies against China on December 13th and December 16th.
The USWNT were trying out some new faces, as eight players were on the roster during the game against Brazil that were not on the USWNT World Cup roster. Three of them saw the pitch for the first time wearing a United States jersey: Jaelene Hinkle, Emily Sonnett and Gina Lewandowski.

I don't beat myself up about winning: Pankaj Advani
Last Updated: Tue, Oct 01, 2019 12:58 hrs
"As an athlete, one goes out there with the intention of doing well. I don't think about winning necessarily, because it feels like a long way to go and I need to enjoy my game and play as well as I can. I try to give myself the best chance of winning. That's how I approach any tournament. I don't beat myself up about winning. I actually go with the aim of giving the best I can," says Advani.
"In sport, you're not always going to win. And I think you're successful, if you are winning more often than not," he adds.
Advani's feels growing as an athlete is strongly linked to one's persona, and to its public resonance. "When you change your approach towards life in general, it also gets reflected on the table. Sports is followed across the world because it brings out a gamut of emotions," he explains.
On his approach to fitness, the 34-year-old sportsperson said though billiards and snooker don't require muscle-building, being physically fit is an essential.
His fitness focus? "Core exercises, flexibility, improving cardio-vascular capacity, things that enhance endurance level and also keep me mentally and physically sharp and alert," he says, adding that he goes gymming few days a week.

Virginia Pyramid and Ponzi Scheme Laws
In Virginia, investment fraud can happen in a number of ways. Two of the most prevalent financial scams are "Pyramid" and "Ponzi " schemes. Here's a quick breakdown of how the two schemes differ.
Pyramid Promotional Schemes in Virginia
A pyramid scheme works like this. Someone recruits people to invest in a business or to sell a product. Those people recruit more people, and so on. The returns paid to the recruits aren't from profits -- they're funds from the following tier of recruits. But when there's not enough money to pay all of the recruits, the scheme collapses. People at the top of the pyramid usually make a lot of money. People at the bottom, usually lose it. And it's illegal.
Ponzi Schemes in Virginia
Named for Charles Ponzi (1882-1949), who had a popular scheme that paid early investors with money gained from later investors. A ponzi scheme is a fraudulent plan where newer contributions are used to pay early members to make it appear there are major earnings. This is normally not a pyramid scheme but it is nonetheless fraud.
Virginia Laws Against Investment Fraud
Virginia prohibits these types of activities under:
Virginia's Pyramid Promotional Schemes law;
Virginia Consumer Protection Act;
Virginia Fraud Laws.
Here is a brief overview of how the Commonwealth of Virginia combats pyramid and ponzi schemes to protect consumers.
See White Collar Crimes, Financial Crimes, Securities Fraud, Wire Fraud and Property Crimes for more information.
Code Section §18.2-239
Nicknames Pyramid nicknames: "Pyramid Chain Scheme" or "Pyramid Promotional Scheme"
Pyramid Scheme: A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, often without any product or service being delivered.
Ponzi Scheme: A swindle in which a quick return, made up of money from new investors, on an initial investment lures the victim into much bigger risks. Generally prosecuted as a federal crime, but can be prosecuted as state-crime under fraud and other state statutes.
Type of Crime Felony or Misdemeanor-varies on nature of the crime
Who Enforces the Law? Attorney General of Virginia, Consumer Protection Division and local prosecutors
Punishment State prison or county jail, probation, fines, restitution, community service, injunction, revocation of business license, freezing business assets
There are several federal protections that may be available to you. To learn more about federal consumer protection laws, contact the following agencies:
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Financial Fraud Enforcement Taskforce
US Attorney
State laws are constantly changing--please contact a local consumer protection or a criminal defense attorney who can help you better understand current Virginia laws.

Q: Windows 10 (Unique?) Volume Issue I've done a lot of searching around various sites and Google dealing with this issue, but nothing I've found seems quite like what I'm dealing with.
Since switching to Windows 10 the (audio) volume occasionally ticks up or down one notch when pressing seemingly mostly random keys.  It's primarily noticeable when I'm in games that I use the number keys (not the numpad) but it's not even always those that cause it, but usually it is.  Sometimes WSAD will cause it, and others even, but typically the number keys. It may happen twice in fairly quick succession, or not for hours in between.  Maybe I should explain by example.
So, I'm in a game, or program of any kind, and am pushing keys going along doing my thing and then out of the blue pressing 2, for instance, will cause the volume indicator like I've changed the volume with the keyboard to pop up and show the volume having gone up or down 1 tick, sometimes 2. I'll change the volume manually and go on about by business and then have it happen again some random amount of time later.  It isn't a huge problem but it is starting to become a nuisance so I thought I'd try to ask about a solution.
I'm using Windows 10 Pro on a desktop computer.
Some things I've tried already..
I've tried using this keyboard on another computer and never noticed the issue.
I've tried wiggling the volume knob on the keyboard but it never seems to effect the volume when I don't mean for it to (I don't feel like the issue is related to the physical knob)
Pressing the usual suspect keys over and over for about a page worth of key presses doesn't seem to force it to happen.
The issue happens in various programs sporadically, not just a single app/game.  And, I've tried adjusting Windows volume settings to see if anything causes it to happen more or less often to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and if more information is needed, please ask.
Edit:
The keyboard is a Razer Reclusa; fairly old I suppose but otherwise everything works great on it still.  Also, I don't have another keyboard handy that I can try with this computer but since I used this keyboard on another computer without noticing an issue I figured that pretty much answered the question of if it was something to do with the computer itself or not.  Also, I give the keyboard a pretty thorough (opened up) cleaning about once a year, but this has been going on longer than that.
