President Obama has been faltering of late, but I still hope he turns America into France.
I have been to Paris -- ah, Grand Paree! I have sat for hours at sidewalk cafes sipping cafe au lait (that's milk and coffee, you uncultured Americans) and nodding approvingly as pretty women stroll by.
There is plenty of time to do such things in France.
The French know better than silly Americans what life is really about. It is about pleasant thoughts and sipping Courvoisier and knowing that no matter what happens, your government will take care of you.
French politicians made this promise during the 1970s. They massively expanded government entitlements of every kind.
Unions are ultra-strong in France, where many people work for the government and everyone enjoys five weeks or more of paid vacation -- and 22 paid holidays on top of that!
French employees need not worry about much. It is nearly impossible to be fired in France. Even if an employee screws up royally, he cannot be canned until an exhaustive and costly dismissal process is carried out.
Even now, months after the world economy has tanked and demand for products has crashed, French employers are still struggling to adjust their work force; French labor laws make it difficult to lay off employees.
Employers are wary of hiring for these reasons. Even when the world economy was booming, French unemployment rates were still hovering between 8 and 11 percent.
Sure, I know France's high taxes and high regulation have hampered economic growth for years -- and growth and wealth generation are the only ways any government can meet its lofty promises.
I know, too, that the world has changed. Advances in technology have ushered in a truly global economy. Manufacturing plants and service centers can be set up and run efficiently almost anywhere in the world.
Every country is now in competition with almost every other, which doesn't bode well for places such as France.
If you needed to build a plant, would you choose a place where the tax rates, regulations and costs are reasonable, or France, where you'll face burdens, costs and obstacles of every kind?
It is true that most European nations know they are on an unsustainable path. They have begun to turn back government spending. They are reducing taxes to attract badly needed investment and growth.
I know it is odd that just as Europe turns away from big-spending policies that have proven not to work, Obama is eager to rush America toward similar policies.
I know Americans should pay closer attention to what he is up to -- and, if they don't like his proposals, be more active in stopping or shaping them before they become law.
But I hope he succeeds.
I hope he does cap carbon emissions -- essentially taxing the bejeezus out of them -- which will drive up the cost of utilities and everything that is manufactured and transported.
I hope he and Congress succeed in getting their mitts around the throat of our health care system -- and borrow a trillion dollars more in the process.
I hope he succeeds in raising tax rates much higher -- beyond those currently paid in many European countries.
Such measures will drive investment out of the United States. They will kill innovation and invention. They will damage our economy.
And then we can be more French!
Sure, I may find myself without gainful employment, but it will be OK. My government will take care of me. I will enjoy free health care, food, housing and generous stipends.
I'll never be rich, but I'll have enough to sit at sidewalk cafes sipping cafe au lait and nodding approvingly as pretty women stroll by.
Before Obama became president, America already was on an unsustainable path (big deficits, Social Security, Medicare). There is no way we can take on trillions in new debt to support European-style programs.
But I prefer not to worry about the future. I prefer to live in the moment.

Ekiti Election: I'm happy I voted – 105-year-old Grandma
A 105-year-old grandmother, Mrs Felicia Fayomi, on Saturday expressed her joy after she cast her vote in the ongoing gubernatorial election in Ekiti state.
The elderly woman, who was accompanied to the voting station by one of her grandchildren at Unit 2, Ward 6, Ifaki Ekiti in the state's Ido-Osi Local Government Area, was vibrant and told reporters that she had voted.
"I am happy to vote," The grandma said, before being led back home.
In other news, Bianca Ojukwu, the widow of former Biafra president, Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, has narrated an encounter with Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), in 2009.

The diplomat was reacting to the outburst by a popular cleric, Fr. Ejike Mbaka, who said the former Anambra State governor will never become the next President of Nigeria because he is "stingy".
While speaking to members of his church on Wednesday, June 15, Mbaka said a stingy man cannot be Nigeria's president because Nigerians are hungry and they need a generous man.
However, in a Facebook post titled 'On Peter Obi's supposed stinginess' on Thursday, Bianca shared an encounter she had with Obi in 2009 while he was still Anambra's governor.
Bianca revealed that during her encounter with Obi in 2009, he donated the balance of $3,800, which he could have spent on a suit for an international event, to charity.

political and social commentary from a reasonably conservative perspective
Bias in reporting about the Tea Party?
October 14, 2010 April 14, 2018 by Augustus Lowell
During 2010, the "Tea Party" movement (a.k.a. the "Tea Partiers") was particularly active and proving itself to be influential in the imminent Congressional elections. To help its listeners — who, I am sure they figured, were completely mystified by it — understand the "Tea Party" and its activities, NPR's Morning Edition dispatched Linda Wertheimer to do a report on the phenomenon and on the people involved (Note: The transcript at the link differs slightly from the audio version).
I am a fairly regular NPR listener and generally find their reporting, if somewhat biased to the left in their story selection and interview foci, at least rigorous and meticulous in their pursuit and presentation of the facts. So the bias in this story shocked me. So much so, that I felt compelled to write a letter of complaint to the Ombudsman.
This was my letter. I am not a particular fan of the Tea Party and, therefore, am not particularly concerned with the fate of their movement and not generally inclined to defend them, especially when (as is often the case) I think they are wrong or employing excesses in their rhetoric. And I am also not a particular critic of NPR — I think this is the first time I've ever had a serious complaint about their news coverage. So I don't think I have over-reacted. This was a genuine hatchet job.
Here is the lead from this morning's "thoughtful" discussion of the Tea Party:
We wanted to pay a call on some Tea Party members, so we traveled to Lynchburg, Virginia, the home of Jerry Falwell's Liberty University, a town that identifies itself as "The gold buckle of the bible belt."
In Lynchburg we met with some local Tea Party leaders, although they all firmly insist that the TeaParty has no leaders….
We asked why they felt inspired to get involved.
Darryl and Shelby Burnette are from Danville, Virginia. Mrs. Burnette worked for a financial company.
<First interview: deep and seemingly rural southern accent>
"I was unaware of what was going on around me until I retired, and we started watching FOX news and getting more informed about what was going on in our nation…"
Thank you so much for putting this all into "perspective"! What did we learn from this, even before any actual issues were discussed?
If you want to find the "Tea Party", you go to the "Bible Belt"; and you do not merely go to the Bible Belt, but you look for the Moral Majority; and you do not merely look for the Moral Majority, you seek out "Jerry Falwell's" Liberty University, the central asylum for the misogynist, evolution-denying, gay-hating, xenophobic, flat-earth Christian Right.
Tea Partiers are inherently untrustworthy. They can't even be expected to be honest about whether or not the Tea Party has leaders. Of course it has leaders: we found them, at Liberty University! Well, technically it wasn't Liberty University but Lynchburg, VA — but that's the same thing, right? And, since these are the "leaders" of the Tea Party (we told you so!), what they say naturally reflects what the Tea Party stands for. In its entirety.
Tea Partiers all speak in funny rural accents that good, sophisticated, intellectual NPR listeners automatically associate with ignorance, racism, parochialism, and lunatic faith. They are rustic.
Tea Partiers are all fundamentally ignorant people with empty heads and no curiosity, just primed to be brainwashed by the manipulations of the right-wing media machine.
Tea Partiers learned everything they know about politics and government from FOX news. Which means the Tea Party is really directed by Glenn Beck.
So, of course, having already gotten all that background, we can safely, sanctimoniously, and in good conscience, ignore everything else that is said by anyone interviewed because, well, it's all the product of ignorance and superstition….
Do you think that maybe your pre-judgement — dare we call it "bias"? — about what the Tea Party is, what it stands for, and who supports it, might have skewed your reporting on it just a bit?
To be clear: I am not a Tea Partier and I find much to loathe (and also much to admire) in what various self-identified Tea Partiers have to say.
But I get the news every day — no, not at FOX but at NPR, CNN, The New York Times, Salon.com, The Boston Globe, Foster's Daily Democrat (Dover, NH), and occasionally The Wall Street Journal — and I don't remember hearing all that much religion coming from reports of Tea Party activities. I don't remember Jerry Falwell endorsing the Tea Party — maybe because he's been dead for three years. I remember lots of Tea Party events well outside the South, in both country and city, and lots of self-identified Tea Partiers with a variety of more and less sophisticated accents both rural and urban. I remember disputes and contradictions among Tea Party adherents, and a certain chaos about their activities, that might suggest any leadership, to the extent it exists at all, is as much along for the ride as it is directive.
I generally find NPR mostly fair, a bit leftward oriented but not egregiously so. This report, however, was an abomination.

You are here > Explore > St. Mary's
Do as much or as little as you like on the beautiful island of St Mary's
St. Mary's is the Isles of Scilly's largest island (population 1,800) and the gateway to the rest of the islands. Covering an area a little more than 6 square miles, it's still not exactly bustling but with its air and sea links, it's more than likely to be your first port of call when you visit.
Hugh Town is the central hub with its cluster of shops, banks, churches, post office, cafés, galleries, restaurants and pubs as well as the wonderful museum. It has three lovely beaches in very close proximity – Porthcressa with a children's play area close by; Town Beach, a perfect spot to watch the comings and goings on the Quay; and Porthmellon which also hosts the Sailing Centre.
The Quay is where the Scillonian III passenger ferry docks every day. It's also where you'll find yourself travelling from if you're staying on any of the "off islands" or if you're taking any tripper boats for a day out from St. Mary's.
Old Town is the other "major" settlement on St. Mary's, closer to the airport and with its own beautiful beach, nature reserve, Old Town Church where Sir Harold Wilson is buried, children's soft play zone, shop, pub and cafés.
Up country, away from the relative hustle and bustle, St. Mary's is an easy going safe haven of hidden treasures. The coastline features large stretches of deserted white sandy beaches, dramatic rocky coves, stunning seascapes, amazing archaeological sites, beautiful walks and scenery along miles of coastal and country paths and nature trails.
Things to do on St. Mary's
Check out some great walks, inspiring galleries, compelling heritage, and lots of water-based activities – wild swimming, kayaking et al
Places to stay on St. Mary's
From a hill-top castle to an off-grid hideaway, choose from hotels, B&Bs, self-catering or campsites for your perfect holiday getaway
Places to eat on St. Mary's
Tuck in to a range of eateries in Hugh Town and up country: cosy cafes, beachside restaurants, pubs and island takeaways
Getting around St. Mary's
Take a tour, hire a bike or buggy, catch a bus or hail a taxi: there are lots of easy ways to take the weight off your feet!

I have already recommended your service to other travellers.
The tour that you organised was fabulous. Our guide and driver in Beijing were excellent as was our guide and driver in Xian. The tours were well organised and the restaurants of a high standard. I have already recommended your service to other travellers.The temples, the wall and all the other sights were incredible to visit. Your planning of our itinerary was excellent. The Novotel Hotel food and service was faultless. At the Hyatt in Xian we were upgraded to a suite and after a night on the train this was fabulous. Train bed lengths are not suited for tall people like my Husband. To do anything differently I would have liked more time in the silk road markets and an opportunity to visit a second time, as this style of shopping was a novelty to us.The Hyatt in Xian was excellent.
We had a very enjoyable time and hope to return to China in the near future. There is so much more to see of your exciting country we feel we did not have time to see the river and all it has to offer.
Our guide Cohe in Beijing was lovely and felt we were only just getting to know her when our tour ended. She waited with us at the Train station until we were berthed on the train. She did many little things that just made our tour that much more enjoyable.

Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lawrence's Facialist Reveals Their Secret to Flawless Skin

Watch: Jennifer Lawrence Reveals Her Diet & Fitness Philosophy
Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lawrence may seem to have unattainable beauty, but the truth is that anyone can achieve their flawless looks.
Their facialist, Georgia Louise, tells E! News that the key to getting angel soft, clear skin is by creating a "customized treatment" that focuses on any areas of concern a person might have. Whether it be dry, dull or oily skin, Georgia says that her non-invasive facials work wonders for creating that "glow" everyone wants.
That being said, Georgia is totally aware that not everyone can travel to her New York City and Los Angeles ateliers, the latter which is located inside The Albright West Hollywood Club. That's why she's created the Hollywood EGF Micro-Needling + Ion Infusion Kit. The "anti-aging, at-home facial" system is a two-step skin regimen that uses micro-needling and ion infusion technology, in addition to a new, specially formulated serum.
To find out more about the kit and Georgia's methods, check out our exclusive interview with her below!
Jennifer Aniston Gained Confidence During "Friends"
E!: What can you tell us about your method?
GL: Everything I do is holistic but scientific. So you're getting all the wonderful non-invasive components in the treatment, but you're also getting the relaxation. We're working on mind, body and soul at the same time.
Roy Rochlin/WireImage, Steve Granitz/WireImage
E!: Can you share the benefits of your new Hollywood EGF Home Kit you created?
GL: What I created is micro-needling in a box, so if you can't see Georgia Louise or a team member, you can get the experience by using the Hollywood EGK Home Kit. This device is the first one of its kind on the market, because it has disposable needles, which means you don't have to worry about sterilizing your piece of equipment.
This is Hollywood's secret! This is what everyone is doing. Right now I work with Jennifer Lawrence Cooke, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway, and this is something that I am doing with every single one of them when I see them. They do this a couple of times a year when they come in for a customized facial to reset the skin and also for maintenance.
A post shared by Georgia Louise (@georgialouisesk)
E!: What are some of the products that your celeb clients love?
GL: Jennifer Aniston is obsessed with the freeze tools and Anne Hathaway sent me texts saying, "You've just changed my whole life.' Obviously, she's pregnant and she says that is the first thing she goes to now. They are so easy to use, you pop them in the freezer or refrigerator and massage your skin. The other product is a pH tonic which helps to re-texturize the skin and act as a daily exfoliant.
E!: So for your celebs that have a big event coming up, like Jennifer Lawrence who just got married two weekends ago, what do you do to prep their skin?
GL: I got her ready! She's funny and the most down to earth. She was the coolest bride I've ever treated. She was super chill and super zenned out. I've been seeing her for quite a while now, maybe six years and she's the best. She's incredible.
So for any bride to be, we always look at the day of or the day before our wedding. It's really about hydration, lifting, sculpting and brightening. And a lot of brides request to have micro-needling done to reset the skin, which is performed six months before and again three months after the treatment. Then, we do a sequence of chemical peels and we would do, for example, a couple of lactic acids and TCAs to create that flawless texture. As for the day of, the facial is pretty much like hand manipulation, no extractions and we do oxygen to really brighten up the skin.
E!: How is it working with your longtime client, Jennifer Aniston? You mentioned on IG that you look forward to more crazy sessions. What goes on during your facials?
GL: Jen is like the girl next door. She's probably my most loyal client. she just has the biggest heart, you know? She gets straight to business. She comes in, she strips off and is in bed and she wants a deep treatment. Generally, for the most part, it's not just me in the room. It could be like one of her friends with her like Amanda Bateman and it's just the most hysterical conversation in the background. It could be about what they're eating or what they're doing that day or who's doing what. The other day I was getting her ready for the premiere of The Morning Show and Chris McMillian was like massaging her feet, I was at the other end doing the freeze tools on her face and Amanda Bateman was there on her phone trying to get her food in before she had to go down for press. I'm like, 'This is amazing.' And that's basically what happens. And if it's not her, you'll see Courteney Cox would be in the room with Jen Meyer and it will be like this gathering of people in the room chatting away. And that's kind of amazing.


This is a truly decked out and teaked out boat! This beautiful Patriot 29 has mostly been used for day trips on the Chesapeake Bay – which she's perfect for! With a vberth and abbreviated galley and head down below as well as the aft seat and teak table with drink holders – she's great for entertaining guests or for a family cruise. She comes with a cockpit cover to protect the deck when not in use as well as custom drop down curtains to keep weather out while underway.

US Open Men day 7
Bill Scott
. September 6, 2020
Alexander Zverev, the German fifth seed,schooled Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 to reach the fourth round for a second straight edition.
January's Australian Open semi-finalist advanced to the business end of the no-fan, COVID-19 isolated event in just 91 minutes with a barrage of 19 aces and a pair of double-faults.
The 99th-ranked Spaniard playing the Grand Slam match of his career was no competition for the experienced Zverev, who broke six times while saving all seven break points against his own serve.

Even the attempt at an underarm serve at the end of the match by the Iberian did nothing to alter the inevitable outcome.
Zverev was making his sixth straight main draw appearance here, reaching the fourth round in 2019.
The German who played regularly in exhibitions during the five-month ATP shutdown due to COVID-19, is going all-in at the socially-isolated major, giving little time for players who are complaining about days of lockdown conditions in the tournament environment.
""The players who are complaining, they had the option to stay at home," he said.
Zveerev's own sentiments are obvious, with his 2020 Grand Slam record standing 9-1 while he has won just a single match out of six at ATP tournaments.
Zverev is the first German to get this far at Flushing Meadows in the 13 years since Tommy Haas. he reached the last eight with 38 winners in just over 90 minutes
"In the third set, I saw that he slowed down a little bit, especially on his serve," Zverev said.
"He couldn't push off on one leg any more; the first two sets were pretty good quality by me to be honest.
"There are still things to work on, but I am in the quarter-finals and that can only be a good thing."
Davidovich Fokina was playing in his first-ever fourth round at a Grand Slam.

The Norfolk Mystery
Written by: Ian Sansom
The first book in The County Guides to Murder series.
The County Guides to Murder are a series of detective novels set in 1930s England.
The books are an odyssey through England and its history.
In each county, the protagonists – Stephen Sefton, a veteran of the Spanish Civil War, and his employer, the People's Professor, Swanton Morley – solve a murder.
The first book is set in Norfolk. The murder is in the vicarage.
There are 39 books – and 39 murders – to follow.
THE NORFOLK MYSTERIES was published on 6th June 2013 by Fourth Estate (HarperCollins).
'A delightful, idiosyncratic mystery set in the Thirties … There is a touch of Sherlock Holmes and a dash of Lord Peter Wimsey, but the total is put together with a charm that is teasingly precious … Beautifully crafted by Sansom, Professor Morely promises to become a little gem of English crime writing; sample him now'
- Daily Mail
'Sansom is both celebrating and sending up the golden age of detective novels when, in the 1930s, Dorothy L Sayers and Agatha Christie were the queens of crime … A brilliant first outing that leaves you looking forward to the next maniacal mystery tour'

In June 2015, the New York Department of Financial Services (the "NYDFS") finalized a rule that requires most businesses involved in digital currency business activity in or involving New York, excluding merchants and consumers, to apply for a license ("BitLicense") from the NYDFS and to comply with anti-money laundering, cyber security, consumer protection, and financial and reporting requirements, among others. As an alternative to the BitLicense in New York, firms can apply for a charter to become limited purpose trust companies qualified to engage in digital currency business activity. Other states have considered regimes similar to the BitLicense, or have required digital currency businesses to register with their states as money transmitters, such as Washington and Georgia, which results in digital currency businesses being subject to requirements similar to those of NYDFS' BitLicense regime. Certain state regulators, such as the Texas Department of Banking, Kansas Office of the State Bank Commissioner and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, have found that mere transmission of bitcoin, without activities involving transmission of fiat currency, does not constitute money transmission requiring licensure. The North Carolina Commissioner of Banks has issued guidance providing that North Carolina's money transmission regulations only apply to the transmission of digital currency and not its use. In June 2014, the State of California adopted legislation that would formally repeal laws that could be interpreted as making illegal the use of bitcoin or other digital assets as a means of payment. In July 2017, Delaware amended its General Corporation Law to provide for the creation maintenance of certain required records by blockchain technology and permit its use for electronic transmission of stockholder communications.
•	Equity and Market Risk — The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Further, stocks may underperform other equity investments. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease.
The Trust and the fund have obtained an exemptive order from the SEC allowing a registered investment company to invest in the Fund's shares beyond the limits of Section 12(d)(1) subject to certain conditions, including that a registered investment company enters into a Participation Agreement with the Trust regarding the terms of the investment. Any investment company considering purchasing shares of the Fund in amounts that would cause it to exceed the restrictions of Section 12(d)(1) should contact the Trust.
If you are doing any active trading, set stop losses. For any coins not in your medium or long-term holds, always set stop losses. This is important for several reasons — the most obvious is mitigating your losses. But more importantly, you force yourself to decide on a point of acceptable loss, and because you now have a reference point, you are able to measure your effectiveness to keep or adjust for future trades. Sometimes, during a market dip, altcoins can plummet, and stop losses can lead to profitability by automatically selling for fiat that you can use to re-enter at lower prices.
Credit Default Swaps ("CDS"): In the case of a CDS, the agreement will reference one or more debt securities or reference entities. The protection "buyer" in a credit default contract is generally obligated to pay the protection "seller" an upfront or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract until a credit event, such as a default, on a reference entity has occurred. If a credit event occurs, the seller generally must pay the buyer: a) the full notional value of the swap; or b) the difference between the notional value of the defaulted reference entity and the recovery price/rate for the defaulted reference entity. CDS are designed to reflect changes in credit quality, including events of default. The CDS Short North American HY Credit ETF will normally be a "buyer" of CDS (also referred to as a buyer of protection or a seller of risk). The CDS Short North American HY Credit ETF will primarily invest in centrally cleared, index-based CDS that provide credit exposure through a single trade to a basket of reference entities. The CDS Short North American HY Credit ETF may also invest in single-name CDS. Single-name CDS provide exposure to a single reference entity and are not centrally cleared.
Leverage (All Funds, except the Matching ProShares Funds, the Managed Futures Strategy ETF, the Crude Oil Strategy ETF, the Bitcoin Futures Strategy ETF, the Short Bitcoin Futures Strategy ETF, the Blockchain/Bitcoin Strategy ETF, and the Bitcoin Futures/Equity Strategy ETF the Short (-1x) ProShares Funds and the CDS Short North American HY Credit ETF)
Provide a list or diagram of all persons directly or indirectly controlled by or under common control with the Registrant. For any person controlled by another person, disclose the percentage of voting securities owned by the immediately controlling person or other basis of that person's control. For each company, also provide the state or other sovereign power under the laws of which the company is organized.
Trading directly on CME is not possible unless you are a broker yourself. This means that you have to pay a high fee – between thousands and hundreds of thousands of USD – to join CME. As an individual investor, you need to find a broker who trades on CME. You will then open an account with this broker – a margin account rather than a cash account because in options trading, there is a margin involved, as we have seen above. Because this poses a higher risk for the broker – in case you can't settle your debts – these deals can only be done in special margin accounts and not cash accounts.
The Distribution and Service Plan is intended to permit the financing of a broad array of distribution-related activities and services, as well as shareholder services, for the benefit of investors. These activities and services are intended to make the Shares an attractive investment alternative, which may lead to increased assets, increased investment opportunities and diversification, and reduced per share operating expenses. There are currently no plans to impose distribution fees.
For each of the following Funds that hold Non-U.S. Investments: the DJ Brookfield Global Infrastructure ETF; the Global Listed Private Equity ETF; the MSCI EAFE Dividend Growers ETF; the MSCI Europe Dividend Growers; the Short Term USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF; and the Merger ETF (each a "Global Fund" and collectively the "Global Funds"), when a purchase order is placed, the Distributor will inform the Advisor and the Custodian. The Custodian shall cause local sub-custodians of the applicable Global Fund to maintain an account into which the Authorized Participant shall deliver, on behalf of itself or the party on whose behalf it is acting, the Deposit Securities "free of payment," with any appropriate adjustments as advised by the Trust, in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to such account in such jurisdiction. If applicable, the sub-custodian(s) will confirm to the Custodian that the required Deposit Securities have been delivered and the Custodian will notify the Advisor and Distributor. The Authorized Participant must also make available to the Custodian no later than 12:00 noon Eastern Time (or earlier in the event that the relevant Exchange or the relevant bond markets close early) by the second Business Day after the order is deemed received through the Federal Reserve Bank wire transfer system, immediately available or same day funds in U.S. dollars estimated by the Trust to be sufficient to pay the Balancing Amount next determined after acceptance of the purchase order, together with any applicable Transaction Fees. For Global Funds, the Index Receipt Agent will not make available through the NSCC on each Business Day, the list of the names and the required number of shares of each Deposit Security to be included in the current Portfolio Deposit.
No Independent Trustee (or an immediate family member thereof) had any direct or indirect interest, the value of which exceeded $120,000, in the Advisor, the principal underwriter of the Trust, or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Advisor or the principal underwriter of the Trust (not including registered investment companies) during the two most recently completed calendar years.
•	Valuation Risk — In certain circumstances, portfolio holdings may be valued using techniques other than market quotations. The value established for a portfolio holding may be different from what would be produced through the use of another methodology or if it had been priced using market quotations. Portfolio holdings that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including "fair valued" securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that the Fund could sell a portfolio holding for the value established for it at any time, and it is possible that the Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio holding is sold at a discount to its established value.
and other factors. Thus, to the extent a Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, that Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk and may not achieve as high a degree of correlation with its index as it would if the Fund used only swaps on the underlying index. The Advisor, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, is responsible for determining and monitoring the liquidity of the Funds' transactions in swap agreements.
BB, B, CCC, CC, and C – Obligations rated 'BB', 'B', 'CCC', 'CC', and 'C' are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. 'BB' indicates the least degree of speculation and 'C' the highest. While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions.
Most cryptocurrencies are designed to gradually decrease production of that currency, placing a cap on the total amount of that currency that will ever be in circulation.[30] Compared with ordinary currencies held by financial institutions or kept as cash on hand, cryptocurrencies can be more difficult for seizure by law enforcement.[1] This difficulty is derived from leveraging cryptographic technologies.

Bitcoin isn't just an unknown commodity: it will always be an unknown commodity. Bitcoin doesn't have the fundamentals that investors typically use to analyze an asset. Most stocks or bonds can be analyzed based on some trait of the instrument. Stocks have P/E ratios and dividends, for example, while bonds have return percentages. Bitcoin has no fundamentals that can be easily measured.
participating in a distribution (as opposed to engaging in ordinary secondary market transactions), and thus dealing with the Fund's shares as part of an "unsold allotment" within the meaning of Section 4(3)(C) of the Securities Act, will be unable to take advantage of the prospectus delivery exemption provided by Section 4(3) of the Securities Act.
Bitcoin futures are now available for trading on the Cboe Futures Exchange, LLC (CFE). CFE launched trading in Cboe bitcoin futures on December 10 under the ticker symbol "XBT" (contract specifications | fact sheet.) This brings many benefits to traders, including transparency, efficient price discovery, deep liquidity and centralized clearing. XBTSM futures provides a centralized marketplace for participants to trade based on their view of bitcoin prices, gain exposure to bitcoin prices or hedge their existing bitcoin positions.
Important agents interacting with those prices are operating in one of three roles: individual speculator, market maker, or arbitrageur. A key role is market maker—a firm that has agreed to simultaneously act as both a buyer and seller for a specific security. When companies sign up for this role they agree to keep the bid/ask prices relatively close to each other—for example even if they aren't keen on selling Bitcoins at the moment they can't just set the ask price to an outrageous level. The agreed-upon maximum bid/ask ranges might be tied to market conditions (e.g., wider when deemed a "fast market") and might allow time-outs but in general, the market maker agrees to act as a buffer between supply and demand.
The foregoing discussion is primarily a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of investing in a Fund based on the law in effect as of the date of this SAI. The discussion does not address in detail special tax rules applicable to certain classes of investors, such as, among others, IRAs and other retirement plans, tax-exempt entities, foreign investors, insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions, and investors making in-kind contributions to a Fund. Such shareholders may be subject to U.S. tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized above. You should consult your tax advisor for more information about your own tax situation, including possible other federal, state, local and, where applicable, foreign tax consequences of investing in a Fund.
For instance, last year, an ETF was rejected. This resulted in the boost of altcoins. Here, Kelly says that we saw Bitcoin outperform and altcoins prices go flat. Cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum [ETH] and XRP [XRP] have been flat due to all the money flowing into Bitcoin. In case of an ETF rejection or even delay, a heavy amount of money will flow out of Bitcoin and into the others.
A U.S. person, including a Fund, who owns (directly or indirectly) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of a foreign corporation is a "U.S. Shareholder" for purposes of the CFC provisions of the Code. A CFC is a foreign corporation that, on any day of its taxable year, is owned (directly, indirectly, or constructively) more than 50% (measured by voting power or value) by U.S. Shareholders. Because of its investment in its Subsidiary, each Parent Fund is a U.S. Shareholder in a CFC. As a U.S. Shareholder, each Parent Fund is required to include in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes for each taxable year of the Fund its pro rata share of its CFC's "subpart F income" for the CFC's taxable year ending within the Fund's taxable year whether or not such income is actually distributed by the CFC, provided that the foreign corporation has been a CFC for at least 30 uninterrupted days in its taxable year. Subpart F income generally includes interest, OID, dividends, net gains from the disposition of stocks or securities, net gains from transactions (including futures, forward, and similar transactions) in commodities, receipts with respect to securities loans, and net payments received with respect to equity swaps and similar derivatives. Subpart F income is treated as ordinary income, regardless of the character of the CFC's underlying income. Net losses incurred by a CFC during a tax year do not flow through to an investing Fund and thus will not be available to offset income or capital gain generated from that Fund's other investments. In addition, net losses incurred by a CFC during a tax year generally cannot be carried forward by the CFC to offset gains realized by it in subsequent taxable years. To the extent each Parent Fund invests in its Subsidiary and recognizes subpart F income in excess of actual cash distributions from such the Subsidiary, if any, it may be required to sell assets (including when it is not advantageous to do so) to generate the cash necessary to distribute as dividends to its shareholders all of its income and gains and therefore to eliminate any tax liability at the Fund level. Subpart F income also includes the excess of gains over losses from transactions (including futures, forward and other similar transactions) in commodities.
•	Intellectual property rights claims may adversely affect the operation of the Bitcoin Network. Third parties may assert intellectual property rights claims relating to the operation of the Bitcoin Network. Regardless of the merit of any intellectual property or other legal action, any threatened action that reduces confidence in the Bitcoin Network's long-term viability or the ability of end-users to hold and transfer bitcoin may adversely affect the price of bitcoin and adversely affect the price of the Bitcoin Futures Contracts held by the Fund.
•	Liquidity Risk — In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the bitcoin futures contracts in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProShare Advisors. Markets may be disrupted by a number of events, including but not limited to cyber-attacks, economic crises, natural disasters, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside the U.S.
Created by Charlie Lee, a former Google engineer, Litecoin is an open-source payment network that operates on a global scale. It is not controlled by any centralized power, and it uses the "scrypt" as proof-of-work. It is similar to Bitcoin but has the advantage of offering a faster rate of generation and therefore faster transactions. This is one of the main reasons why its enthusiasts continue to invest or hold onto the coin even after finding out that its founder sold his stack.
Options give the holder of the option the right to buy (or to sell) a position in a security or in a contract to the writer of the option, at a certain price. There may be imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between price movements of an options contract and price movements of investments underlying an options contract. Lack of correlation (or tracking) may be due to factors unrelated to the value of the investments being hedged, such as speculative or other pressures on the markets in which these instruments are traded. Consequently, the effectiveness of bitcoin options in providing exposure to the price movements of options will depend, in part, on the degree of correlation between price movements in the derivatives and price movements in underlying bitcoin markets. Exchanges can limit the number of positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Sub-Adviser, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund's strategies. Options are also particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
For example, you can enter a Bitcoin futures contract with Mortimer Duke saying that you will sell him 1 BTC on March 30, 2018, for the price of 5,000 USD per BTC. (In the actual CME futures contracts, the limit for one contract is 5 BTC, but we will stick with 1 BTC now for the purposes of easy explanation.) You enter into this contract on an exchange like CME.


Applying fertilizer increases garden productivity.
2 Does Lawn Fertilizer Lose Its Effectiveness if Stored?
Many people don't realize they can often reuse liquid fertilizer left over from the year before. Fertilizer is an essential part of any gardening maintenance strategy because it gives plants nutrients they don't get from the soil alone. There are differences in perishability among the brands of fertilizers on the market, so check the product ahead of time for an expiration date. Do not use an expired product.
Liquid fertilizers are known as quick-release fertilizers because they deliver nutrients more quickly to plants than granular fertilizers. The exception to this is a granular fertilizer that is mixed with water and then applied. Liquid fertilizers have a shorter shelf life than dry fertilizers -- typically around 8 to 10 years.
Liquid fertilizers are usually spread with hose-end sprayers for large areas or watering cans for small areas. Liquid fertilizers are watered into the soil and can be applied directly to the foliage. It's best not to apply fertilizer to the foliage on a sunny day, as some leaf burn may occur.

Suspected big-time drug dealer held neighbors 'hostage' in their own homes
Monthslong surveillance operation leads to seizure of 32 guns, grenade launcher
TITUSVILLE, Fla. – Daryl Terrace, a small side street north of downtown Titusville, was a safe and peaceful place for children to play outside. That changed about two years ago when traffic began to flood the street at all hours of the day and night.
Glenn and Alita Gunter moved into their Daryl Terrace corner home to retire two years ago, right around the time the normally quiet street turned into a dangerous racetrack.
"You'd catch yourself looking out the window all the time," Alita Gunter said. "checking things out, see what's going on. You'd hear a pop and it scares you."
Neighbors said one house on the block was attracting all the traffic, like a drive-through restaurant.
"They'd pull in, be there for two minutes, sometimes didn't even get out of the car and leave," Glenn Gunter said.
So neighbors who saw something decided to say something. They called Titusville police, who did something.
Titusville PD's S.I.S. (Special Investigations Section) started an around-the-clock surveillance operation on the home.
Detective Andy Rodriguez, who led the operation, said it was clear that the person living at the home was running a large-scale drug operation.
"It was pretty much holding the neighborhood hostage," Rodriguez said. "I've never seen anything like this in these types of neighborhoods. Very bold."
Rodriguez said he obtained a search warrant and raided the house June 21.
He arrested Jeremy Lee Sarver and charged him with felony possession of marijuana with intent to sell and felony possession of a controlled substance.
Rodriguez said he confiscated 32 guns from Sarver, including handguns, shotguns, an assault-style rifle and a grenade launcher attachment.
"Pretty much protection for his large operation," Rodriguez said. "They were spread out, readily accessible, each firearm was loaded. We were concerned if a potential shooting could have happened there's children in the neighborhood, people cutting their lawns."
Rodriguez also confiscated $6,000 in cash and big bags full of marijuana weighing eight pounds.
"This was a very big catch," Rodriguez said. "Any day that we can recover 32 firearms that can potentially end up in the streets of Titusville is a good day."
The Gunters said their street, Daryl Terrace, is now safe and peaceful once again.
"I'm just happy it's over with," Glenn Gunter said.
Rodriguez said Sarver is out on bond awaiting trial. He faces up to 10 years in prison and possibly more prison time if the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives takes over the case.
"We were able to make an impact on the community and get crime results," Rodriguez said.


We typically consider musicians and artists in addition to creatives typically usually are in conflict with plans, deadlines and particular corporate stress. However, some of the most complex component this is in making step 1 to alter. Anxiety about failing is considered the most familiar arguments of putting off work towards a job. Every last publisher has to work on it, though it really gets quicker to a few than others. The phrase is vague; let it rest out.
You don't reach watch the results of your job unless you really do one thing. To follow are many frequent slipups scholars make in university or college cardstock crafting. But what if you're not the most efficient creator?
Imagine if you're confidently scared at the very thought of trying to convey you and your family in prose, to the point that some sort of short-lived paralysis descends with your arms: so there you remain, hands and fingers ready to touch-faucet-touch out during the desktop, and unfortunately your numbers won't budge, in lieu hovering idly across the keyboard set, never beautiful a particular letter? Believe me, you're in a growing crowd.
Not a thing motivates more than the awareness that you may all of which will check this out simply by. Any have difficulty is easier when you're no on their own. Procrastination is a significantly cunning beast. Make it your slogan for educational everyday living.
Get driven to write with the intention of articulating anything about you whilst your long run. Procrastination is a way to not anywhere. Realize that the printed statement is always powerful, and that a generating project puts that power up in your hands—quite literally. At least one important pitfall for many of us freelance writers, particularly in school report penning from where writers are distribution slim and in a hurry, is punctuation.
Get quality, far too, on records requirements: come in-textual content citations acceptable, or can this coach craves footnotes? Find out about exactly how much and exactly what origin fabric you have to obtain and annotate, then dig into investigating. The proper writers often without difficulty tap into their creative juices, then spontaneously manufacture pretty sentencesAndmdash;the types of phrases in which a teacher could practically never see wrong doing.
Consider taking heed and weed expensive issues out from your prose; all things considered, problems are less often pertaining to your abilities as an author, and others sometimes the effect of carelessness and bad habits. Postponing an undertaking up until the rather last second is without a doubt exhausting, considering that the looming point of view of the requirement to be realistic never results in the mind, providing you with to the state frequent worry.
Numerous fantastic individuals have mastered it and evolved their victorious tips and strategies. The secret is that it quickly ends up in inability. Range you and your family in the 'speaker' foundation with 'the author' rather than first and foremost particular person; just don't get at the same time taken apart to make sure you result in sounding just like a stuffed tee shirt! And make sure: it will never be your ally throughout this fight.
The library is often a choice, nevertheless, if it's noisy or also public, jump off college campus and attempt an even more isolated city; approach away from the speedy area code if possible! Be sure to have available everything you need, from cause fabric towards your notebook battery charger to snack foods. However, if the professor assigns 500 words, suit that hope.
And don't topic this an element of an assignment: there's approach to a prof's madness in needing that freelance writers get it says in countless sentences. Indeed, it's not a method. Keep away from typical expression and 'trendy' tongue much too, except for when the professor reveals this university newspaper can suit it.
While you might declare not to to be the most suitable freelance writer, https://war.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mekanika_kwantum you can find living room for success in university or college document article writing, providing you see the risks on its way and redirect via the direction of quality, common sense, and conformity. Combine the sense of shame and you'll find the nasty cocktail no person in reality prefers. With each of your requirements accomplished, no interruptions no lame excuses can lead to achieving success.
Most professors supply you with enough fine detail about what they need, so get in to the fine print. Naturally, its your essay, so isn't the 'In my opinion' construct a assigned? Obtain a step back.
Including, the words 'a lot' tends to express something such as 'many' or 'much.' To all fact, however, 'a lot' delivers as a noun, especially with the information in play. Not implementing time for it to understand precisely what a document project necessitates is a large problem. Then again, you may use a couple of relatively easy suggestions to have the conversion way more achievable.
It fishing lures you into a sense incorrect level of comfort and subsequently disappears, leaving you face to face with be scared and effort overload monsters. Consequently, you end up with sick and tired of procrastinating, not of true getting through a condition. The old saying is owned by Pablo Picasso. Currently being comma-cheerful signifies your prose is interruptive and stilted; not needing a completely independent clause on both sides to a semi-colon confuses a audience.
They are you ask for help to, get to know a lot of people and generally decrease the path of personal-design. Plug in 'one' to take care of from getting keywords into https://mysparknotes.com/the-great-gatsby-by-f-scott-fitzgerald-plot-synopsis/ a reader's mouth area and to eliminate getting the reader genuinely feel qualified. Get going with each publishing task with the intent to complete it. Assume attentively about why the publishing assignment is necessary on your behalf to be a scholar, a thinker, so that as a individual in academic your life.
Educational crafting typically requires some degree of objectivity, when original-man announcements like 'I feel' or 'I contend' aren't the greatest solutions. No article writer fluidly projects great prose, all at one time, at all times. Maybe the most knowledgeable journalist can falter if derailed. And special residence address (posting 'you this, you that') is only one more prevalent misstepAndmdash;and it's exceptionally serious.
Not to mention confidence there presently exist formed techniques for ways to get through this common tension as well as transferring into output as a writer. Issues regularly result fascinating thoughts. When it concerns struggling procrastination you certainly employ a fantastic group to go along with you.
Give thought to from where to your 'big-picture' this essay or basic research old fashioned paper may well match, and imagine tactics that one could turn it into something more substantial: could you afterwards impart the essay as a blog post, or could you possibly make a thin basic research undertaking to produce a greater scholastic thesis? Undoubtedly, not every formulating project shows strongly related your daily life, but planning, supposition, and creativity, it's possible to relate a writing assignment to near future scholarly interactions, or perhaps to opening up new dialogue via social websites.
What's significantly more inspiring than that? Lift strengthen, elevate blog posts, and lift results. Keep reading and then also technique some tips i preach.
The fact is that, keep a style advice around: employ formulating means obtainable in the selection and by over the web websites, just because almost every contributor needs and wants speedy access to the laws and regs relevant to sentence structure, punctuation, and use. Sooner or later, however, a cardstock is a popular ability to take a look at your own private hints and communicate independent a conclusion.
Consume that lone-minded method to nearly every coming up with job, and willingness will school using your blood vessels! To secured that very best accomplishment, noticeAndmdash;or constructAndmdash;a silent, targeted setting that works with you doing your most suitable do the job. A brilliantly humorous playwright Oscar Wilde, not surprisingly realized a thing or two about lifespan on the whole and procrastination basically.
Consider getting empowered and buy down to get the job done! We're not more likely to advise yourself on the ways to achieve this. The idea is which every freelance writer has living space for enhancement, on every last task, and also by yourself should really keep you motivated to start with a coming up with assignment. You're not by yourself. Theodore Roosevelt couldn't own it entirely wrong.
An scholastic pieces of paper is required to be displayed in elegant, educational English; this can be a lack of time for 'street talk' or even for 'text communicate.' An effective rule of thumb is to always prevent abbreviations permanently (that features contractions) and never to depend upon slang or lingo. Don't now let these a wide range of phases suppress you; to put it accurately, accept this process, on the to start with brainstorming appointment from the abrasive summarize, for the write last but not least to revisions in addition to a re-create.
Even so, Picasso's case in point vividly implies that even the most unusual thinkers recognize: buying things completed can be described as precondition of achievements. The good news is, you don't should be the first particular person to address the traitor. Don't short the essay by 19 thoughts and assume it's great for the reason that it's always 'in the ballpark.' It is wise to go over by 5 to 10 words and phrases (will no longer) instead of miss out a word-calculate standard.
Crafting tasks for higher education credit ratings need various different structures and requirementsAndmdash;as well as, present several different tensions. Reduce speed and change wisely. All things considered, who doesn't really enjoy the opportunity to result in a situation, polish it, then appropriate it? A making task is actually that—the opportunity have anything at all substantial, as well as to take pleasure in credit ratings for doing so.
This precious component of intelligence reveals it all. The best part of these series is always that you're apt to get your sound, all even as working with a article writing task! Think, the reality is, that an task will be car or truck for expressing your convictions, your conceptsAndmdash;and then to promoting thought processes you wouldn't if not have conjured, developed, or verbalized.


In the largest collaborative study of the brain to date, researchers from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) are part of a global consortium of 190 institutions working to identify eight common genetic mutations that appear to age the brain an average of three years. The discovery could lead to targeted therapies and interventions for Alzheimer's disease, autism and other neurological conditions.
An international team of roughly 300 scientists known as the Enhancing Neuro Imaging Genetics through Meta Analysis (ENIGMA) Network pooled brain scans and genetic data worldwide to pinpoint genes that enhance or break down key brain regions in people from 33 countries. This is the first high-profile study since the National Institutes of Health (NIH) launched its Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) centers of excellence in 2014. The research was published recently in the peer-reviewed journal Nature.
"This is a great example of how international collaboration can jumpstart high impact science and genetics. We needed a pool of 30,000 willing subjects and their DNA to drill down to these five new genes," said Robert W. Williams, PhD, a co-investigator of ENIGMA. Dr. Williams is chair of the UTHSC Department of Genetics, Genomics and Informatics, as well as the UT-Oak Ridge National Laboratory Governor's Chair in Computational Genomics.
The UTHSC team is renowned for their work on brain structure in mice. This is their first entry into the world of human genetics. They were able to help strengthen results by showing that one of the genes also works in the same way in their large family of mice. This opens up the possibility of using mouse models to test treatments.
The ENIGMA researchers screened millions of "spelling differences" in the genetic code to see which ones affected the size of key parts of the brain in magnetic resonance images (MRIs) from 30,717 individuals. The MRI analysis focused on genetic data from seven regions of the brain that coordinate movement, learning, memory and motivation. The group identified eight genetic variants associated with decreased brain volume, several found in over one-fifth of the world's population. People who carry one of those eight mutations had, on average, smaller brain regions than brains without a mutation but of comparable age; some of the genes are implicated in cancer and mental illness.
In October 2014, the NIH invested nearly $32 million in its Big Data Initiative, creating 12 research hubs across the United States to improve the utility of biomedical data. ENIGMA, one of two BD2K centers of excellence based at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles, was awarded a total of $11 million over four years.
"ENIGMA's scientists screen brain scans and genomes worldwide for factors that help or harm the brain — this crowd-sourcing and sheer wealth of data gives us the power to crack the brain's genetic code," said Paul Thompson, PhD, Keck School of Medicine of USC professor and principal investigator of the ENIGMA Center.
Co-authors from the UT Health Science Center include Dr. Williams and Lu Lu, MD, also a professor in the Department of Genetics, Genomics and Informatics. ENIGMA was supported in part by a Consortium grant (U54 EB020403) from the NIH BD2K Initiative, supported by a cross-NIH partnership, and by public and private agencies worldwide.

Trump's Approval Rating Soars to Highest Level, Destroys Obama's
The truth about what real Americans think about Trump is relatively evident
on&nbsp6th October 2018 @ 3.58pm
Despite the media claiming the entire country is united against the policies of Donald Trump, the silent majority has spoken, revealing that the President's approval rating is almost at its highest level, and more than Obama's at this point in his Presidency.
Even as the leftists throw tantrums in the run-up to the confirmation process of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, the truth about what real Americans think about Trump is relatively evident.
The latest Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll was revealed on Friday showing at a majority — 51 percent — of likely voters approve of Trump's progress so far.
According to the WJ: While that isn't precisely an earth-shattering sum, it's bigger than former President Barack Obama's approval rating at the same point in his presidency.
"The latest figures include 38% who Strongly Approve of the president is performing and 39% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -1," Rasmussen reported.
"By comparison, Barack Obama earned a presidential approval index rating of -11 on October 5, 2010, in the second year of his presidency," the polling group said.
The 51 percent approval rating for Trump is the highest it has been since March 2017.
That could be part of a trend that Democrats didn't see coming: Their generally publicized efforts to derail Kavanaugh's confirmation seem to be supporting Republicans.
If true, that's terrible news for the Democratic Party as the November midterm election approaches.
"(O)ver a month away from critical elections across the country, the wide Democratic enthusiasm advantage that has defined the 2018 campaign up to this point has disappeared," NPR said this week.
"In July, there was a 10-point gap between the number of Democrats and Republicans saying the November elections were 'very important,'" the report said, summarizing a poll that it helped conduct. "Now, that is down to 2 points, a statistical tie."
In addition to the frustrations arising from the Kavanaugh issue, the generally strong economy is anticipated to play a significant role in Trump's poll numbers.
Just a month ago, the number of American workers filing for unemployment hit a nearly 50-year low.
The seasonally adjusted total of 203,000 unemployment claims was the lowest level since December 1969, when Richard Nixon was president, according to the Labor Department.
All of this adds up to one conclusion: Democrats are facing serious strains in their attempts to start winning again.
From the Supreme Court to Congress and the presidency, the left is currently spinning its wheels … and while nothing is set in stone, that looks like it could continue for the foreseeable future.

STOCKTON — Life goes on and you can have a positive impact on the world after a traumatic loss.
That's the message many survivors and family members of violent crime victims shared Monday at the Stockton waterfront as they walked or ran a 5-kilometer course to remember a loved one lost to homicide.
Roshan Campos never misses the opportunity to support victims and family members. The mother of Carlitha Villalobos, who was 19 when she was shot to death with two other young people in north Stockton almost five years ago, said it makes a difference.
"It is important to let other parents know there is life even after the death of a child. There is hope," said Campos, who was joined by 50 to 75 people participating in the first Wellness Walk of Remembrance hosted by the Victim-Witness Unit of the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office in commemoration of National Crime Victims' Rights Week April 7-13.
Helping them get justice and some healing is part of the DA's mission.
"Through our Victim Witness Unit and our Family Justice Center, we can provide wraparound services to help people back on the pathway to success and help correct the harm that has occurred to them," Verber Salazar said as the 5k event was about to begin.
Verber Salazar also addressed the importance of recognizing people who step forward as witnesses.
"It takes courage for people to stand up and be heard. It takes courage to make a statement to law enforcement. It takes courage to come in and testify. That bravery, that courage is to be honored every day, but this week in particular when it is National Crime Victims' Rights Week. We want everyone in San Joaquin County to know, never be quiet, always speak up, because we hear you and we will do something about it," she said.
The DA's efforts were lauded by Joyce Tuhn with the grass-roots group Victims of Violent Crimes of San Joaquin County as well as Paul Singh, whose wife, Misty Holt-Singh, was the innocent victim of a 2014 shootout between police and several bank robbers.
Jaurequi is the program manager for the DA's Victim Witness Unit, staffed by 13 victim advocates who, among many duties, serve as the middlemen between law enforcement and the district attorney's office, attend court sessions with victims, help them with restraining orders or assist them in filling out applications to see if they qualify for compensation.
"It's more than those services. It's being there and available to listen to victims when they're scared, frustrated, angry, and helping to move them along through this whole process," Jaurequi said.
Jaurequi said the goal of her unit is to reach the victim or their family as soon after a crime has occurred as possible.
To contact the Victim Witness Unit, phone (209) 468-2500. For the Family Justice Center, phone (209) 468-2437.

George Pell guilty of child sex abuse: Legal arguments for and against
Tuesday, 26 February 2019 9:11AM
Lawyer discusses Pell's appeal case
VideoA lawyer involved in the Cardinal Pell case gives a statement on George Pell's plans to appeal.
This is the breakdown of the for and against arguments during George Pell's child sex abuse trial. The jury returned a guilty verdict against Cardinal Pell, which was released by the court this morning after a suppression order was lifted.
PROSECUTION - KEY ARGUMENTS
Director of Public Prosecutions Kerri Judd QC, senior crown prosecutor Mark Gibson SC and crown prosecutor Angela Ellis.
* There were opportunities for Cardinal George Pell, newly-installed as Archbishop of Melbourne, to sexually abuse two choirboys in the late 1990s. Evidence that the boys slipped away unnoticed from the post-mass procession because of "mischief" and were "caught" by Pell while drinking wine in the priest's sacristy, withstood defence arguments.
* Pell used the priest's sacristy to vest and disrobe during Sunday mass because of renovations which rendered the Archbishop's sacristy unusable. There were times Pell was left alone while still robed. It was still possible for Pell to expose his penis to the boys while robed because of slits in the alb, an under- tunic, which were designed to access pockets.
* Neither victim reported the abuse at the time but that does not mean it didn't happen. Mr Gibson quoted the surviving complainant: it "took a courage much later in life" to even consider speaking out. He feared jeopardising his scholarship to the prestigious St Kevin's College, making things difficult for his parents and struggling to understand what had happened and if it was "normal".
DEFENCE - KEY ARGUMENTS
Barristers Robert Richter QC and Ruth Shann.
* The prosecution timeline relied on 10 "independently impossible" events involving 40 or more people occurring within the same 10-minute window in order for the events to have happened and gone unnoticed. That includes: the two 13-year-old boys slipping away from the middle of the post-mass procession without being seen; Pell being alone and robed in the sacristy and not on the cathedral steps; and there being no other priests or altar servers moving between the sanctuary and priest's sacristy as was their practice after mass.
* It would have been "inhumanly possible" for Pell to expose his penis to the boys while wearing the Archbishop's robes. The ensemble was made up of the alb, an ankle-length white under-tunic which included two slits to allow access to pockets, locked into place around the waist with a knotted rope cincture. A decorative chasuble was worn over top and, on special occasions a dalmatic as well. Pell required help robing and disrobing and Pell's master-of-ceremonies recalled only twice in five years not assisting.
* The surviving complainant's memories aren't of real events, but are a far- fetched fantasy that he, now aged in his 30s, may have come to believe as the truth. Mr Richter pointed to the fact neither victim came forward immediately, that the complainant who has since died denied being abused when asked directly by his parents, and that after the first incident involving both boys the surviving complainant did not warn his friend when he was later abused again.
