Brexit – Are You Ready?
October 2020 - Customer update on Brexit
Together we keep Europe and your business moving!
Brexit has happened! From the 1st of January 2021, trade between the EU and the UK will require customs export and import declarations, with some goods requiring additional checks.
To ensure minimum risk against any delays, we have invested heavily to provide an "end to end" service for our customers including import and export declarations and the management of any additional border controls and checks.
Watch our latest Customer Webinar:
DB Schenker is preparing to support through Brexit – Oliver Bohm (Chief Commercial Officer Europe), Chris Clayton (Brexit Program Lead), Julie Heard (Chief Commercial Officer Cluster UK & IE) and Ray Hennessy (Cluster CEO UK & IE) give an insight on the road ahead, when it comes to Brexit preparedness.
1) Understanding the political landscape and the consequences
Brexit was first due to happen on March 31 last year. It was postponed until October 31 and delayed again after that. There was a lot of urgent activity for the "first two Brexits" – and many organizations weren't ready and breathed a sigh of relief when it was postponed.
Brexit officially occurred on January 31, 2020, and the new trading relationship between the EU and the UK will begin on January 1, 2021 – this is the current status.
Many people are still wondering whether there will be a "hard Brexit". The answer is yes! The real question is how hard it will be.
A "soft Brexit" (UK remains as part of the EU Single Market or the Customs Union) will not happen, and it is very important to understand that customs declarations will be required from January 1, 2021.
What "no deal" means: With or without a trade deal, customs declarations and the paperwork and compliance that goes with them will be required from January 1, 2021.
2) Are you Brexit-ready?
To check if you are ready for Brexit, it's important to compare your current flow of goods with the process that will occur after the end of the transition period.
Here is an example of the process for a shipment from Italy to the UK which will no longer be possible after January 1, 2021:
Starting January 1, the transport of goods must follow this process example:
What is most important?
Responsibilities lie with different parties in the chain, which can cause confusion, complications, mistakes, and delays.
Fortunately, the team at DB Schenker can help you perform all of these steps and minimize the risk of disruption to your supply chain.
3) How DB Schenker is preparing to support you through Brexit
Customs declarations stopped between EU member states in 1993 and many people have forgotten what they involve. As a global logistics provider, however, DB Schenker has continued to work in the world of customs and has a knowledgeable and skilled customs team in every country we operate in. Because of this, we already have the licenses we need to be able to complete customs declarations at each of our locations and also open and close transit documents, perform simplified procedures, operate bonded and excise warehouses and, where appropriate, defer payment of VAT and duty.
#BrexitAndBeyond
January 2021 - Customer update on Brexit
As a global company engaged in transport to or from the UK Brexit will present challenges to your business. DB Schenker understands the complexities these changes will bring and is employing significant resources to ensure the continuity of our market leading services.
It is of the utmost importance that we approach the Brexit challenges in genuine partnership with you as the success that we both seek is interdependent.
We at DB Schenker have been engaged in detailed preparations for the past two years including the setup of a pan-European Brexit taskforce.
1. What is the current position of UK/EU Trade?
Following the EU and UK negotiation culminating in the signing of the withdrawal agreement the UK left the EU on the first of the 1st of February 2020. During the transition period until the 31st of December 2020, there is no change in the trade formalities between both economic parties.
The possibility of a further extension elapsed on the 30th of June 2020 and the UK will exit the current trade agreement with the EU by the 31st of December 2020. At this point in time, there is no agreement to govern the post Brexit trade relationship between the EU and the UK. It is also unclear about the status of freight moving between GB and Northern Ireland.
From the 1st of January 2021 there will be significant changes to the trading relationship between both parties. These changes will lead to new trade regulations and customs procedures.
Businesses in the EU and the UK must, therefore be prepared for new customs processes and procedures at the end of the transition period regardless of the outcome of the negotiations regarding the future partnership.
2. What do I need to prepare?
The following steps will help our customers prepare to minimize possible Brexit ramifications:
Review your business, if you have not already done so, to understand what impact Brexit will have on your EU supply chain.
Keep up to date with the political situation regarding Brexit and the effects it will have on your Brexit planning.
Share client/consignee Proof of Attorney with DB Schenker, or generate in designated local customs system as soon as possible (this is a legal requirement in many Countries).
Make sure your partners are providing the required information on their commercial documentation to allow a Customs declaration to be made.
Review your own commercial documentation and ensure it provides the information required to allow a Customs declaration to be made.
For IE into the UK, check what UK procedures your Importer is intending to use.
Advise DB Schenker of Authorizations you have in place with Customs.
Advise DB Schenker of potential Modal shifts that you are considering i.e. from the road to airfreight.
Speak to your trading partners about the information they supply on their documentation (relevant to Customs requirements).
Advise DB Schenker if you intend to use postponed VAT accounting to account for your VAT.
3. What can we expect the customs costs to be?
Prices will be defined by costs incurred in each country and we will provide you with comprehensive list of customs services and a pricing matrix shortly.
4. How is DB Schenker prepared to help with seamless transport arrangements post Brexit?
We have created a Brexit Taskforce and have expanded our project team structure. We currently have a competent group of experts who jointly work on this important project.
Brexit Program Manager
National Brexit Experts
Commercial and Transportation Leads (e.g. Sales, Business Services, etc.)
IT Project Managers
The preparations made by the Brexit Taskforce are designed to ease the transition post-Brexit to ensure continuity of service for our customers.
The team is covering a wide range of themes within four main business areas: Customs, Operations, Communications and Commercial. In order to help us to prepare we need to understand your requirements in detail. Your account manager will be your main point of contact.
We are strengthening our operational and customs teams to accommodate the additional workload that will be necessary from 1st of January 2021.
Our core objective is to provide a seamless transport and customs service to and from the UK for all our loyal and perspective customers. DB Schenker will prioritize customs resources towards clients who use our transport services.
5. What is the DB Schenker contingency plan in the event of disruptions?
In a webinar our Brexit Taskforce Team presented the full contingency plans. Please watch the webinar here.
DB Schenker has the largest network across all of Europe with a multitude of routes and potential crossing points from Europe to the UK. We already have sophisticated procedures for dealing with tunnel and ferry disruptions that allow us to calculate the potential advantages of changing routes should there be a delay at any specific crossing point.

NECTAR Sleep Mattress Review – DreamCloud Mattress Review Powder | Your Best Sleep Now!
In both Television shows and Films, there's a subject that has done quite well during the past decade: Zombies. This idea has produced for some exceptionally delightful, majorly lucrative, and also award-winning television shows as well as movies. Though it's all fiction, right?
If you have lived for just about any period of time, it's no doubt that you have heard a person state how key rest is. It's very likely that you've acquired this lesson for yourself, and it's also likely that you've already heard from many people that have already learned it too. Without sleeping, we feel like… well, zombies.
As if feeling depleted isn't already sufficiently of a challenge, there's even more to the situation. When we have been suffering from sleep deprivation, our brain pretty much malfunctions. That merely means our brain fails to work well. The truth is, our brain in reality starts shutting down a number of areas as well as operations that are not essential for staying alive. Consequently to be deprived of sleep is not simply feelings, it happens to be a physically weakened state of daily life.
Helping to make matters more intense, extended lack of sleep leads to over production of cortisol. Cortisol in it's correct level aids us to really feel a bit of tension and also urgency to get things undertaken. But when it's overproduced, it triggers us to feel stressed, anxious, and worried all the time. This tends to cause even deeper professional medical challenges of anxiety and depression. Needless to say, insufficient sleep is not good for any individuals.
We've all had the experience. Oftentimes, our daily lives demand an awful lot from us. We supply a great deal of our energy and time to our work and also vocations, our good friends and family, as well as our interests and activities. Frequently, it feels like there is very little left, and it could be too difficult to chill out and also recharge.
And yeah, almost certainly we can all use more rest. But nevertheless, imagine if we can easily do even more than rest longer. What if we could slumber better?
NECTAR is here to help. And they help out with a simple quest. NECTAR claims to be the most comfortable mattress, and that you will get the best sleep of your life, guaranteed. For a business which makes mattresses, it's fairly challenging to have a far more clear vision than that.
Maybe you|Perhaps you} hurt whenever you wake up each morning. NECTAR addresses this on several levels. It starts with utilizing the most recent release of breakthroughs in mattress and also fabric technologies, as well as bringing those together in a single product. And don't be worried about having to determine what amount of firmness to purchase and hope that you chose correctly. NECTAR has optimized their mattress to a level of firmness that stabilize the give and take of your body weight whenever you lay in several positions all through the night, serving up the optimal level of comfort and support. Which enables you to rest assured (no pun intended) that no matter what posture you are resting in, it's the correct choice.
Yet there's far more to it than that. Maybe you don't only feel sore or uncomfortable once you get out of bed. Perhaps your neck, spine area, shoulders, hips, and/or lower limbs hurt. Not any longer. At the time you lay on your back, NECTAR mattress provides the correct amount of firmness to support the natural curvature of your spine. At the time you lay on your side, you absolutely need your spine to remain in a straight line. Other mattresses are often too firm, and they press against that natural curvature, or too soft as well as let your spine sink an excessive amount. One way or another, both of them are wrong, because your spine is forced in either case out of positioning. NECTAR solves this matter, and the benefits are just as much of a breakthrough as the design of the mattress itself. NECTAR has absolutely refined the amount of firmness as well as support to a breakthrough level.
You can find one other issue that will occur when mattresses don't breathe properly too: moisture. When air doesn't circulate in a mattress, it collects moisture from the air which comes in yet struggles to let it out. This greatly minimizes the lifespan of a mattress, considering the stagnant moisture starts to make the substances in the mattress breakdown. It additionally tremendously cuts down the comfort, considering that the broken down components in the mattress do not perform as they ought to. The mattress ends up being uncomfortable, as well as keeps uncomfortable over its cut down life duration. What a waste!
NECTAR hasn't only just created a breakthrough mattress that offers wonderful comfort. They've additionally made a top quality mattress which is made up of exclusively the best supplies. There are actually no ozone depleters, PDDEs, TDCPP, mercury, or lead. Not only are they significantly more healthy, but also for the environment too. They are readily recycled, as well as environment friendly!
You will find 2 layers of Gel Memory Foam which help to circulate the air, and suitably spread your weight as well as support the natural curve of your body. These 2 layers are huge contributory factors to the details mentioned prior. Whilst you slumber, your caliber of sleep is definitely going to be supported by the best quality materials in the industry. I imagine this is what the results are in cases where your vision is to create the best mattress. Period.
It certainly is quite normal for comfort and also quality to go hand in hand. Nevertheless they always accompany a price. Well, most of the time. But definitely not right now.
NECTAR has comfort in addition to support in keeping with mattresses that charge $3,000-5,000+. With that standard, you may be honestly wishing that they are about half of that the price tag, at around $2,000. Or possibly you have your fingers crossed actually hoping that they really are only $1,500. Nevertheless do not stop reading here. Simply because you will not actually be having to pay that.
hey don't cost $1 ,500 . They do not cost $1 ,000 . Every one of the NECTAR mattresses get started in the $300's . Additionally they are all under $1 ,000 , even for a California King ! At that cost , everybody at your home may rest much better for the cost of just one traditional mattress .
We are living in a world that is persistently changing. NECTAR is a paradigm shift in the process a mattress is created. The truth is, mattresses have been around a long time. And in the same way as autos and even family homes, the way that one is created at the moment is different than it was many years previously. Across almost all industries, people are endlessly investigating and making new innovative discoveries. From developing as well as making use of innovative components, to advancing on a design and also releasing a completely new one, the process where we carry out things shifts through time.
Traditional mattresses are made up of a set of box spring in addition to a mattress. The box springs go underneath the mattress, offering an additional layer of support to the mattress. The mattress consists of columns of coils all throughout to give support. Then on top the coils is some kind of "topper". In the old days, this topper was filled with various forms of stuffing or padding, and in more contemporary days various layers of foam. There are a number of brand names who have been manufacturing mattresses for many years such as Serta, Sealy, Jamison, Sleep Number, and Amerisleep.
Yes. And they are just as innovative. Nonetheless I'll spare you the facts. I will not say they are a pillow that is certainly just as innovative as their mattresses. I won't let you know about the quilted memory foam outer shell. As well as I certainly won't discuss the Tencel cooling fabric and also active ventillation which means you will be continuously sleeping on the cool side of the pillow. I am going to simply just let you know they are outstanding, and every much a breakthrough in pillows as their mattresses are.
The only method to experience that you enjoy something is to give it a try personally.
Certainly. It's one thing when a product sounds reliable in writing or perhaps in a commercial, yet it's another to actually experience something for yourself. And with NECTAR, it is possible to. Not only does NECTAR provide you with a remarkable value, in addition to that they back it with a wonderful guarantee.
However with NECTAR, the game has entirely improved. Because they will deliver it totally free to your house, and you can give it a go for a night. And you can give it a go for a week. And you can give it a go for a month. And then 2 months. And even 3 months. Where am I going with this? With NECTAR, you can test it risk free for a year! You get a 365 night home trial. They deliver it to you for free. If at all you feel that you are not 100% pleased, they will come and pick it up for free. Yet I doubt you will need them to.
There is absolutely no catch. There's just NECTAR. Well, there is certainly far more than that. There is certainly an exceptional mattress with wonderful value. There's a new paradigm in making a mattress, with advancement at every single turn. There is certainly the comfort as well as support that you simply deserve. There's pillows that increases the comfort and ease from head to toe. There's extraordinary quality and also value. There is a first-rate product, supported by an amazing guarantee. There's an end to the zombie apocalypse.

Q: Where do the items in the Room of Requirement come from? Throughout the series, the Room of Requirement has provided many things, all "according to the seeker's needs". From chamber pots to makeshift dueling clubs to hidden storeroom, the Room of Requirement has done it all.
Where do these items come from?
I know that the Room of Hidden Things (one version of the Room of Requirement) takes all its content from items hidden there by its users, but the origin of the rest of the contents is murky.
Are these items conjured by the room itself, which for all intents and purposes seems sentient, or are they pulled from elsewhere in the school?

A: I would agree that the Room of Requirement is sentient; otherwise, how would it know what a person needs, or whether it was a genuine need or just a want?
I believe the room represents an example of advanced transfiguration. It is possible to conjure items from thin air, as we see McGonagall do when she conjures a fan to waft (the petrified) Nearly Headless Nick from the second floor corridor in Chamber of Secrets.
In Deathly Hallows, when the trio meets up with Dumbledore's Army in the Room of Requirement, Neville notes that the one thing the room cannot give them is food (which is why the DA has been relying on help from Aberforth Dumbledore). Ron affirms this, saying that conjuring food is one of the five exceptions to Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration.
I think this suggests the magic related to the Room of Requirement at the very least includes transfiguration. I think it quite heavily does rely on transfiguration.

A: I think that RoR is 'quasi-sentient' (much like wands appear to be).
I agree with a Slytherin in that the room represents an example of advanced transfiguration/conjuration but since the Room isn't a person it takes blueprints for everything it makes from objects within the castle. It's not unlikely that it supplements this by borrowing functional stuff from the Room of Hidden Things.

As more and more businesses are trying to take their products and services global, many are turning to translators to work on their websites, social media campaigns, assist with business documents, etc.
A great human translator can make all the difference when you're trying to introduce your brand to a new market. However, one part of this process that can be tricky is finding a great translator who will be able to effectively convey your message to your chosen audience. With many unqualified individuals calling themselves translators, how can you find the perfect human translator who will take your international marketing campaign to the next level? Here are a few tips to narrow your search.
It is a common myth that simply being bilingual qualifies someone to work as a translator. Nothing could be further from the truth. You need an expert who writes and speaks well in both English and the language of your target audience—someone who can translate not only your words but also the feeling behind your brand. Think about what you do if you need a piece of excellent copy written in English. You don't just hire anyone who can speak English well; you hire someone who can write in an engaging and grammatically correct manner—someone who can draw in your desired audience. Why would you lower your standards when you're reaching out to your new audience? In fact, you should be even more careful since a misunderstanding of culture or even a phrase could create a poor image for your business, in your new market. So, how can you check the credentials of a potential translator? Well, this is where it can get tricky. There is no one set credential for translators, but you can look for certifications from organizations such as the American Translators Association. While these credentials cannot guarantee excellent work, they do at least ensure your translator has a grasp of the langue you want to work with. However, you cannot rely on simple credentials alone, which brings us to the next point.
A good translator should have a portfolio of their best work available to share with you. You will want to look at samples to see what kind of work they have done before and see if they are familiar with the type of work you need. For example, if you are trying to find someone to translate your website, it is important to not only find an experienced translator, but to find a translator who knows how to write great web copy and optimize it for SEO search terms in the language of your chosen audience. If the translator cannot do this, you will be wasting your time, since the quality of the copy will not matter if no one is reading it, because it is not showing up in search results. The key here is to not just find a translator with experience and samples, but to find one with experience and samples in the type of work you need to be done.
See if your translator has recommendations from previous similar clients. This is important for several reasons. First, it shows that the translator is not only an expert in the language you need, he/she also knows how to work well with clients. Second, if you are trying to launch something like a marketing campaign in another country, this will give you an idea of how much success this translator has had in the past with the type of result you need. Going back to the website example, if you need a website that search engine optimized in the language you need, then you will want to know what kind of results the translator has had before on similar project. Has his or her previous web copy been well ranked in its language? Did the social marketing campaigns he or she translated take off, or fall flat? Knowing these things now can save you a lot of time and money in the long run.
The last thing to do before hiring a translator for your project is to talk to them honestly about your goals. Are you trying to write an air-tight contract for a business deal? Start a successful social media campaign? Launch a website? Write some great product descriptions in your new market's language? The first thing you need to do is to figure out exactly what results you are looking for. Then you can describe this to your potential translator and let him/her decide if they feel like they can help you accomplish that goal. If you are not specific in telling a translator exactly what you need, it is not their fault if the project somehow drifts off course.

Based on the researches of listening strategies at home and abroad, this study tries to explore the gender's effect on the use of listening strategy under the internet autonomous learning environment and finds the differences as well as the similarities in the use of listening strategies. The results have some implications for teachers. English teachers should take the factors of gender into account in the course of strategy training, especially cultivating male students' use of the social/affective strategies.

Q: Improper Integral Property of a Positive Function Let $g:[0,\infty)\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ a positive function satisfying
$$\int_{0}^{\infty}{\frac{dr}{g(r)}}=\infty.$$
Can say that $\int_{0}^{\infty}{g(r)dr}<\infty$ ? Thanks in advance!

A: Take $g(r) = r$. Since the harmonic series diverges, then by integral test, we have
$$\sum_{n = 0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n} = +\infty \Rightarrow \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{dr}{g(r)} = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{dr}{r} = +\infty$$
On the other hand, we also have
$$\int_{0}^{\infty} g(r)dr = \int_{0}^{\infty} rdr = +\infty$$
This makes $g(r) = r$ a counterexample to the claim.

A new poll reveals Americans are stressed out by inflation, violence and politics
By Rhitu Chatterjee
Published October 20, 2022 at 4:23 PM EDT
The amount of stress that people in this country feel keeps going up. That's according to a new poll by the American Psychological Association, which finds that a majority of American adults are stressed - about rising prices, violence, the political state of the country. Well, to tell us more about these findings, we're joined now by NPR health correspondent Rhitu Chatterjee. Hey, Rhitu.
RHITU CHATTERJEE, BYLINE: Hey, Ailsa.
CHANG: So, I mean, I guess these findings aren't all that surprising given everything that's happened the last couple years. But can you just tell us more? What did this survey find exactly?
CHATTERJEE: Yeah, you're right. They may not be - they aren't that surprising. But I will say that some of the details are really striking. So over 80% of adults surveyed said that inflation is a significant source of stress for them. Now, that's a huge majority. I spoke with psychologist Vaile Wright with the American Psychological Association. And she told me that it's really hard not to worry about rising prices these days.
VAILE WRIGHT: Because they hit us every day. They're hard to escape. And we're constantly reminded about how we're going to have to pay for groceries, how we're going to have to pay for gas, how we're going to pay for rent.
CHATTERJEE: And, you know, understandably, people with annual incomes of 50,000 or less were much more likely to be struggling with these than those with higher incomes. And the poll also found that there's widespread disillusionment about people in the government, worries over the racial climate, the political state of the country, gun violence. And over a quarter of the people surveyed - they are so stressed they can't even function.
CHANG: A quarter of people. That's kind of huge. What does that mean?
CHATTERJEE: Yeah.
CHANG: Not being able to function.
CHATTERJEE: So things like not being able to concentrate, you know, forgetfulness, struggling to make decisions because of stress. And 18- to 44-year-olds were more likely to report feeling this way. And overall about three-quarter of the respondents said that stress was negatively affecting their lives. Vaile Wright says 76% said that they'd experienced at least one stress-related health symptom.
WRIGHT: That included things like headaches, feeling nervous or anxious, feeling overwhelmed or worrying constantly. And we know that these types of symptoms, when they're unmanaged, can have negative physical and mental health consequences.
CHATTERJEE: You know, Ailsa, we tend to think of stress as, like, a mental thing, but it affects our entire physiology. And research shows that chronic stress can, in the long run, cause more infections, heart attacks, diseases like obesity and diabetes.
CHANG: Absolutely. I mean, I do think it's important that we're talking about this because this has been an especially difficult time for all of us, right?
CHANG: Pandemic, war in Europe, inflation. What do you suggest we do to better manage our stress during this time?
CHATTERJEE: So I put that question to psychologist Elissa Epel at the University of California San Francisco. She has a new book coming out soon about managing stress. And she told me that it's important to actively try and stop dwelling on the future and things that are beyond our control. And, you know, as you and I - most people know that when we're stressed, we just try to muscle our way through our days, focusing on what needs to get done. But Epel says it's really important to check in with our emotions and acknowledge how we feel to let some of that worry go. And deep breathing is a really good way to do that.
ELISSA EPEL: Breathing is one of the most direct routes to reducing stress in our body and our mind. And so taking these short breathing breaks are actually critical to help us reduce burnout and get through a day.
CHANG: I'm sorry. I hear people talk all the time about deep breathing, but when I'm really stressed, slowing down is the last thing on my mind. But you're about to tell me this really works.
CHATTERJEE: It does. And research backs it up. And here's another tip from psychiatrist Jessi Gold.
JESSI GOLD: We really like to blow off sleep and think that it doesn't have this huge impact on us. But if we aren't sleeping, a lot of the other things are struggling, too.
CHATTERJEE: So Ailsa, breathe, and try to get a good night's sleep.
CHANG: All right. That is NPR's Rhitu Chatterjee. Thank you, Rhitu.
CHATTERJEE: Thank you, Ailsa. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Come on, who doesn't love a good cable knit sweater? It's a classic, and this one looks particularly cozy. Personally, I think the light blue would look awesome with my favorite pair of black pants.
Before I moved to Oregon, I took the plunge and bought myself a pair of bright red Hunters rain boots. While they're probably the most expensive pair of shoes I've ever bought, they're probably also my favorite. These socks look soft and magical, and I love the idea of the bright red of my boots clashing with the dark ruby of the socks.
I have to admit, I was skeptical of the ankle straps trend at first. No longer. I am fully onboard the ankle straps train. Occasionally it stops raining here long enough for me to wear shoes other than boots, and the next time that happens I want these babies on my feet.
When I showed these to my friends, they rolled their eyes and said that of course I would want a pair of these. But let's be honest, who wouldn't want a pair of these? I would rock these every day if I could, and when I died, I would pass them onto my grandchildren so that they, too, could rock them. What's not to love? They're shiny, tight, and could be pair with probably everything I own. Probably.
I almost never wear earrings because I think they make my face look weird. When I do, I like them simple and small. This pack manages to be both those things and also fun! Plus cats!

Fig. 10.—Bronze Implements, Amber Beads, Ty Mawr (Arch. Camb., 1868)
cooking, and cups and jars of coarse hand-made pottery at their meals. In addition to beef, mutton, and pork, they ate shellfish, such as limpets and periwinkles. They were spinners and weavers, and workers in bronze. This latter fact is proved by the hoard of broken and worn out bronze implements found within the precincts of the village, consisting of beads, spears, and javelins, plain and socketed celts, and rings and armlets of various sizes (Fig. 10). All these had been collected to be cast into new implements in one or other of the hearths that bear the characteristic stain of bronze. In this connection we may note that a stone mould has been found in Anglesey, for casting spear-heads and celts, of the same type as those of the hoard. Along with these bronze articles there were a great many amber beads, and in a neighbouring cairn, at Pen y Bonc, belonging to the Bronze Age, a portion of a necklace, made of jet or cannel coal, was found, along with armlets of bronze, and two urns. therefore infer that the dwellers in Holyhead at this time used personal ornaments, made from materials that could not have been obtained from any districts nearer than the east coast of Britain for the amber, or than that of Mold for the cannel coal, or North Yorkshire for the jet.
These habitations of the Bronze Age are superior to those of the Neolithic in their larger size, more solid construction, and in the sub-division of the interior into chambers.
The settlement at Ty Mawr, as well as that close by at Pen y Bonc, stands in close relation to Gaer y
Twr, the stronghold on the top of Holyhead Mountain, which, from its position, must in all times have been the key to Holyhead Island. The rude stone walls, forming the existing ramparts, occupy the natural lines of defence, and may go back as far as the Neolithic Age. They are identical in structure with

the rude walling to the south of the Ty Mawr settlement, as well as with that of Tre Ceiri and other fortresses of the Pre-historic Iron Age. I, therefore, accept the conclusion of Albert Way and Owen Stanley, that it was the citadel to the inhabitants of the island in the Bronze Age, although there is clear proof that it was occupied in later times, and especially during the Roman dominion. Many of the other
strongholds in Wales, as yet undated, have probably had a similar history.
We have noted the evidence that bronze was smelted in the settlement of Ty Mawr. The numerous hoards of broken and imperfect implements and weapons, collected for the purpose of casting, prove that bronze was worked throughout Wales, as well as in the rest of Britain. That, for example, found at Guildsfield, Montgomeryshire, and now in Powis Castle,

consists of the following perfect and imperfect speci
mens :
Spear heads
Handle plate of sword
Sword blades
5 Scabbards Gouge Palstaves Socketed Celts Fragments Lump of fused bronze A hoard of broken and imperfectly cast implements has also been inet with at Rhosnesney,' and of horse trappings close to an ancient fort on the Kinmel estate, near Abergele, called, strangely enough, Parc y Meirch or Horse Park, both in Denbighshire; and from South Wales Barnwell has recorded the discovery of leaf-shaped swords, ferrules still holding wooden shafts, spear heads, lance heads and rings, broken or folded so as to be portable.3
These finds not only show that the bronze industry was carried on throughout
on throughout Wales, with material obtained elsewhere, but also the fact that at this time weapons were as necessary for the community as the implements of daily life.
The bronze was undoubtedly imported into Wales. The gold, however, used mostly for personal adornment in Wales in the Age of Bronze, was probably in part derived from the stream workings in the Valley of the Mawddach near Dolgelly, and in the tributaries of the Towy to the west of Llandovery. It was, however, also imported from Ireland-the Eldorado of North-Western Europe in the Ages of Bronze and Pre-historic Iron. This important conclusion is proved by several finds of ornaments of Irish design, such as the characteristic gold lunule (Fig. 11) found at Llan

llyfni, in Carnarvonshire, and others at Gaerwen in Anglesey.? The beads of amber imply intercourse with the tribes of East Anglia, or of the amber coast, and the general correspondence of the implements and weapons with those in the rest of Britain implies that the inhabitants of Wales were in close touch with the tribes of the rest of the island.
I turu now to the consideration of the tombs of the Bronze Age in Wales. Here, as in the rest of the British Isles, the practice of inhumation, universal in the Bronze Age, began, at the beginning of the Age of Bronze, to yield place to that of cremation, the ashes of the dead being collected, and very generally placed in a large urn, sometimes inverted, and sometimes protected by a stone chamber, and covered with a tumulus or barrow of earth, or a cairn of stones. These burial places abound in Wales, and are amply described in our Archæologia. In the chambered cairn at Plas Heaton, near Denbigh, both inhumation and cremation had been practised, four bodies had been buried in the crouching posture, and there was a funeral urn, with ashes, of the usual type of the Bronze Age Hilton Price describes the contents of a barrow called Twmpath, in the parish of Colwinston, Glamorgan, that yielded numerous hand-made urns, containing human ashes, and bones proving that pork was used in the funereal feast, along with various articles, a bone pen, a broken saddle-quern, a bronze pricker, and the fragments of a bronze knife or razor. It was obviously a family or tribal burial place, and was based on a floor of stone flags, instead of on the prepared surface of the ground, as is usually the case. We
may also quote the discovery of similar funeral 1 British Museum. Guide to the Antiquities of the Bronze Age, p. 145, Fig. 137.

Home Living a Life That Matters COMMENTARY 763.4: Being Basically Honest
COMMENTARY 763.4: Being Basically Honest
After a workshop, a fellow came up to me and complained that I had made him feel uncomfortable. "I'm not perfect," he said, "But I'm basically honest." His implication was that it's unfair to expect people to be honest all the time.
His comment reminded me of a cartoon where one fellow confided to another, "I admire Webster's honesty, but his insistence on being scrupulously honest is really annoying."
Look, I'm not an honesty absolutist. I think it was okay to lie to Nazis to save innocent lives, and I approve of police lying during undercover operations to catch drug dealers or corrupt politicians. I also think it's okay to tell your grandmother you really like the sweater she knitted or let young children believe in the Tooth Fairy.
But be careful. It's easy to stretch these special situations into an endless chain of rationalizations that justify lying whenever it's convenient.
Every lie must be justified by competing moral principles, not simply self-interest. Some lying during criminal investigations pass muster because they are subjected to judicial review and advance a long-term public good. And there are times when "white" lies can be justified when kindness trumps truthfulness.
Otherwise, being scrupulously honest is not only possible; it's desirable and morally mandatory.
Being basically honest is not enough. It's like saying, "I really want to be honest, but not if it costs too much, not if it prevents me from getting what I want."
Honesty is crucial, not only to uphold an abstract moral principle, but to preserve one of our most important personal assets – credibility. Despite self-serving excuses, almost all lies breach trust and undermine credibility.
Once someone lies to us, even on a small thing, we always think, "What else have you lied to me about?" How many times do you get to lie before you are a liar? How many times does someone get to lie to you before distrust sets in?
Being honest only when it suits our purpose isn't honesty at all.

DOJ Settles Fair Lending Claims Based on Bank's Mortgage Pricing System
by the Consumer Financial Services and Mortgage Banking Groups
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced a proposed consent order with Sage Bank to settle charges that the bank violated the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) by discriminating on the basis of race and national origin in connection with its residential mortgage lending.
The DOJ claimed that the bank's pricing system resulted in African-American and Hispanic borrowers paying higher prices for mortgage loans than similarly qualified white borrowers. The DOJ said that the action originated from a referral by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
According to the DOJ's complaint filed in Massachusetts federal district court, the bank used a "Minimum Base Pricing" (MBP) system to price mortgage loans sold to investors on the secondary market. The MBP represented the net revenue target that a loan officer was expected to achieve on each loan he or she originated through the interest rate and fees.
The complaint alleged that the pricing system resulted in African-American and Hispanic borrowers paying more for loans than white borrowers and the higher prices could not be "fully explained by factors unrelated to race or national origin." The DOJ claimed that a contributor to this disparity was that African-American and Hispanic applicants were served disproportionately by loan officers with MBPs that were higher than the MBPs of loan officers serving predominately white applicants. The higher MBPs "were not justified by individual characteristics of [such minority applicants]." Another contributor was that loan officers allegedly marked up loans to African-American and Hispanic borrowers above their MBPs to a greater extent than they marked up loans to white borrowers.
According to the DOJ, the bank gave loan officers discretion to price loans above their MBPs without any requirement to obtain management approval or document or provide reasons for such higher pricing. The DOJ claimed that such discretion "resulted in loan prices that were higher than what the objective credit characteristics of the borrowers dictated" and "exacerbated the risk that similarly qualified borrowers would receive differently priced loans."
In the complaint, the DOJ asserted various theories for its FHA and ECOA claims. The complaint alleged that the bank's pricing system created a "foreseeable disparate impact." (The complaint's focus on the bank's pricing system might be intended to address the U.S. Supreme Court's admonition in Inclusive Communities that a disparate impact claim based upon a statistical disparity "must fail if the plaintiff cannot point to a defendant's policy or policies causing that disparity.")
The DOJ also charged that the bank "engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination and denial of rights under the FHA and ECOA" and that its "policies and practices were intentional, willful, or implemented with reckless disregard for the rights of African-American and Hispanic applicants and borrowers." Although the DOJ did not directly say so in the complaint, its allegation of intentional discrimination was presumably based on the bank's alleged knowledge of borrowers' race or national origin and the primarily minority composition of the population served by loan officers with higher MBPs.
The consent order, which is subject to court approval, requires the bank to pay $1.175 million into a settlement fund to compensate aggrieved borrowers. It also requires the bank to establish a loan pricing policy "that shall minimize fair lending risk and mandate documentation of loan officer decision-making and managerial approval," and a monitoring program to assess pricing disparities on at least a semi-annual basis. In addition, the bank must establish a loan officer compensation policy that ensures compliance with the Truth in Lending Act/Regulation Z provision that generally prohibits loan officers from receiving compensation based on any loan term other than the amount.
The DOJ's action demonstrates that there are risks when loan officers have different pricing or are permitted to deviate from standard pricing. Lenders that have different pricing for loan officers and/or permit loan officers to deviate from standard pricing should conduct an analysis to assess if there are potential trends that could be viewed as presenting a fair lending concern to regulators.
Ballard Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group has created a Fair Lending Task Force that brings together attorneys who deal with fair lending law compliance (including the preparation of fair lending assessments in advance of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau examinations), handle governmental investigations and the defense of alleged fair lending claims, and understand the statistical analyses that underlie fair credit assessments and discrimination claims.

Culhane, Jr., Christopher J. Willis, or Mark J. Furletti.
