During the 1990s the subREAL group(subREAL was founded in April 1990 by Călin Dan and Dan Mihălțianu. Iosif Király joined the group in February 1991. In August 1993 Dan Mihălțianu left subREAL, which operates since as an artist-duo.) – the first of its kind from Romania to operate in an international context after 1989 – investigated the culture of late-communist Romania and the subsequent period of (post-1989) transition, with its turn to a more or less unbridled form of liberal capitalism and the establishment of democratic institutions that continued to be dominated by the old elites. In their work with photography, film, installation, and performance subREAL explored the travesties and myths of the period of transition and its ramifications for artists working in Romania at the time. Among the themes the group addressed were the traditional clichés and myths about Romania whose prominence seemed to only grow (atavistically) after 1989; the canonical legacy of high modernism; the increasing marketability of art from Eastern Europe, including Romania, on the global art market; the fetishization of the (vanished) "Other" of Communism; and the problem of independent artistic expression in a post-1989 world dominated by intensified consumerism and special economic and political interests.
subREAL's preferred medium during the 1990s were installations conceived as what I want to call "ironic monuments" (ironische Denkmäler): by this I mean monuments that undermine their own readability as commemorative acts through the inclusion of elements – allusions or other subtexts – that contest that act's legitimacy or feasibility. For instance, while Communication 1:1 and Communication 1:1:1 may be read as thoughtful references to the many things Romanians and Hungarians have in common – for one thing, both produce their own blood –, there is also a more sinister, if unspoken, reference at work here: during the mid-1990s, German pharmaceutical companies, with the blessing of the Romanian authorities, bought HIV-contaminated blood from poor inhabitants of Romania's capital and then sold it in the West. On the one hand, this historical allusion questions the more Romantic reference to the (blood) connections between Romanians and Hungarians implicit in Erzsebeth 4 by suggesting that the Blutsbrüderschaft between the two peoples might turn out deadly; on the other hand, the "bad blood" produced in the East can also be highly profitable (symbolically and/or financially), even if it's deadly in the long run: it's hardly a coincidence that subREAL establish their web of interlocking allusions within the medium of art, since the German pharmaceutical company that purchased the tainted blood from an impoverished part of the Romanian population might easily be compared to international art collectors and curators whose interest in the "tainted blood" of Communism, and in art produced by another part of less-than-privileged Eastern European society, namely artists, was steadily rising at the time subREAL produced their installations.
To give a couple of more examples of ironic monuments in subREAL's work, the installation Sphinx (1994) – the title hinting that the late Ceauşescu era, inevitably functions as a kind of oracle, a skewed prism through which for better or for worse the present moment needs to be understood – consists of a ramshackle Romanian pantry from the 1980s made from wood. The installation is one of several where subREAL draw on their own biographies to reconstruct the material culture of the 1980s. During that time, many of the food items here under display were in short supply, which is why the shelves lining the pantry are filled with mostly empty jars. While we might see in this installation a nostalgic return (a monument) to the established, if precarious, certainties of the Ceauşescu era, subREAL undercuts this proposition by affixing labels to the jars that are reminiscent of newspaper obituaries. The group adds a further ironic twist by insisting that the dates on the labels do not inform viewers of the freshness of the product (the jars are empty) but rather of "the lifespan (birth and death) of the ideas that the members of subREAL had between their own birth [...] and the founding of the group (August 1990)."(subREAL, Akten/Files, (exhib. cat. Neuer Berliner Kunstverein/Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin), 1996, p. 72.) The monument devoted to material life under Communism turns out to be an ironic commentary on the difficulty of substituting ideas for food: by the early 1990s, all the ideas that once animated the artists had exceeded their lifespan and could only be consumed as dead matter (and as such they enter subREAL's installations).
In another installation, Alimentara (1991) – named after Romania's only chain of supermarkets during Communism, Alimentara – the artists take up a similar idea. Here the ironic monument consists of a large pyramid of food jars containing (mostly) vegetables, the only consumer goods that were readily available at the stores during the 1980s. The installation, which takes its visual cue from food displays during the Communist era, further included a fridge; two hotplates; several bottles of wine; spare ribs; a half-rotten chicken (an equivalent to the rotten ideas in Sphinx), and other items whose purchase, according to the artists, required elaborate rituals (especially standing in line) and great patience. Once again, this installation commemorates the precarious consumer habits formed under the Ceauşescu regime (in fact the pyramid recalls a practice well-known from other countries of the former Eastern Bloc during times when consumer goods were in short supply: supermarkets would create "sculptures" of the same product in various parts of the store in order to hide the fact that there were no other products).
In its focus on exchange and consumption Alimentara may be compared to another store in an iconic work of pop art, Claes Oldenburg's Lower East Side Store (1961), containing sculpted consumer products all made of the same material. However, while Store worked on the assumption of a pervasive eroticization of consumption (with the artist as the potent sculptor-shopkeeper who "serves" his medium), subREAL's counterpart, with its replacement of the sculpted consumer fetish by the drabness of "the real thing" (real spoilt chicken; real food jars), hints not only at communist Romania's poverty relative to the presumed abundance of the West, but also at subREAL's rejection of the idea that art can be called upon to re-animate the dead matter of consumption. In subREAL's store there is, literally, nothing to sell and hence to consume, least of all the spirit of the consumer object itself.
subREAL consistently questions the binary East/West opposition that characterized the cold war as much as its aftermath during the 1990s. While the East/West opposition as it established itself after 1989 affirmed and valorized the marginal and the peripheral to a degree, it left the binary structure itself intact, with the now valorized margin (Eastern Europe) reaffirming the importance of the affirming center (the West). In their installations subREAL replace this opposition with an alternative "East/East" pairing that aims to undermine the productivity of the post-cold war narrative. In an installation entitled Eurasia (presented at the 3rd Istanbul Biennial 1992) subREAL humorously hint at Romania's place in the new world order by installing on the gallery wall a long row of genuine cases used in communist Romania for the order Meritul Cultural Clasa V (Medal 5th Category for Cultural Merits). Each of the cases contained a ball bearing from Romanian production (a tape in the background played the sounds of a ball bearing rolling down a concrete surface). Meanwhile three hundred wooden scooters with roller bearing wheels were scattered throughout the gallery. The accompanying catalogue text explains: "The Romanian ball bearing industry was the pride of the former communist regime. Since December 1989 the production is increasingly diverted into a broad network of smugglers organized via Istanbul."(Ibid., p. 36.) A recurrent trope in subREAL's work, smuggling here fulfills a performative function: like the smugglers alluded to in the installation, subREAL bring Romanian ball bearings to Istanbul. Which means that they, too, are part of the network that diverts the jewels of Communist production to a place where it does not belong: the museum, where this contraband, much like the smuggled ball bearings themselves, becomes whitewashed by being declared art and awarded a prize. The Istanbul Biennial, here, becomes a metaphor for the international art market that trades in the material remains of the Communist experiment and commodifies them.
In a series of installations, subREAL refer to a territory they call Draculaland. The implied allusion to Disneyland is not coincidental since the historical connections between Bram Stoker's novel and its supposed historical model, the 15th century Transylvanian ruler Vlad the Impaler, were popularized by a Romanian academic, Radu Florescu, who spent most of his life in the United States. Which is to say that Dracula must be understood as a collaborative effort between America and Romania, somewhere between academia and the film industry. Here again we are dealing with a playful subversion of the expected West/East trajectories: as a media effect, Dracula is the result of an elaborate operation between hemispheres that projects a novel by a Victorian novelist back on Romania via Hollywood.
In the work of subREAL, Dracula(land) functions not so much as a term with a fixed meaning than as what with Roland Barthes we might identify as a "reality effect." In his important 1968 article of the same title, Barthes, using the example of Flaubert, describes the way in which realist literary fiction evokes the illusion of an objectified real freed from ideological constraints. Using terminology borrowed from structural linguistics, Barthes argues that this happens by the suppression of the signified: realist fiction achieves the effect of "objective" verisimilitude by including (not unlike photography, in this regard) a host of seemingly peripheral details that play no role in the overall structure of the narrative. These details have as their signified not the actual meaning or function of the object included (a barometer that is listed as one of the objects in a room may be utterly irrelevant to the events that unfold in this same room), but rather the reality effect that is the result of their inclusion in the description. By this token the very fact that these details lack specific meaning or relevance inside the narrative becomes their signified. This technique, whose goal is the representation of reality as magically freed from the taint of ideology, is however in itself an intensely ideological operation, for it is designed to present as objective what is in reality the perspective of one very specific class of people, the bourgeoisie.
With respect to the Dracula story, we might say that it represents much more than simply an illustration of the Barthesian reality effect – Dracula is in fact that effect's succinct enactment. Reality effects are vampiric by nature, for in Realist fiction words are literally "sucked dry" by being deprived of their signifieds in order to veil fiction's ideological entanglements. This condition of utter alienation of objects/words from their own meaning – a token of their mode of (capitalist) production – is in fact the principal subject of subREAL's work during the 1990s, and in this sense "Dracula" may be said to preside even over those of their installations where he does not make an explicit appearance. When in their work (Alimentara, etc.) subREAL include a host of consumer objects from Communist times, they produce an equivalent to the way in which Flaubert creates his fictional world out of objects that do not have a home in that world. Much as is the case in realist fiction, the cigarettes, pickled vegetables and other goods that appear in subREAL's installations do not belong in the (art) environment in which they are now being presented; however, it is in their very alienation from their original context (Communism) that they offer a tantalizing reality effect of the new reality of capitalism and its alienated/alienating conditions of production and consumption. For as art objects, the elusive consumer goods from the Communist era are now being consumed by international art connaisseurs for whom these objects mean nothing at all beyond being authentic art "from the East."
In their first public installation entitled East-West Avenue (1990), subREAL installed a series of metal plaques with handwritten inscriptions along the large avenue leading from Ceauşescu's Casa Poporului (House of the People) to Unirii (Unity) Square. The "House of the People," which is now home to Romania's Parliament and to the National Museum of Contemporary Art, is one of the largest buildings in the world, and its close association with the megalomaniac Ceauşescu – whose nickname was not coincidentally, Vampirescu – links it to Dracula's Transylvanian castle. The connection is reinforced on the metal plates themselves, which are inscribed with the trades of workers who contributed to the construction of the palace. These are reminiscent of the makeshift monuments erected by construction workers during the 1980s to commemorate fellow workers who were killed during the construction of the palace, and removed by the authorities: "The plates are reminiscent of small signs of worship that are installed in places where a human being died a violent death."(subREAL, Akten/Files, (exhib .cat. Neuer Berliner Kunstverein/Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin), 1996, p. 16.) In Bram Stoker's novel, Jonathan Harker, a British solicitor, travels to Count Dracula's crumbling Transylvanian castle in order to provide legal council to Dracula for a real estate transaction. With Dracula, it's always about real estate, about securing the Count's castle from threat and invasion – if necessary, by razing an entire part of town – and about concealing this reality below a veneer of ideology. And so subREAL read the original monuments erected by Ceauşescu's workers to commemorate their killed colleagues as metaphorical pointers to the fact that it was Ceauşescu ("Vampirescu"), the master of the House (resembling the castle), who killed the workers by sucking out their blood in order to secure his home.
In several of their Draculand installations, subREAL point out that one of the main characteristics of the Dracula myth is the fact that it is a (film) media construct (Murnau, etc.), a fact that the artists reciprocally link once again to the fascination America, and Hollywood especially, has held for generations of Romanian émigrés. Not coincidental in this context is also the fact that subREAL's title for their installations, Draculaland, is a cognate of the original name for Hollywood, "Hollywoodland."(The letters making up the word "land" decayed and disappeared from the famous sign that can now be seen above the Los Feliz district in central Los Angeles.) The name Hollywoodland was used in the early 20th century by boosters in Los Angeles to sell Southern California real estate to well-to-do Americans from the Midwest. In their work, subREAL present an ironic Romanian version of this story; in this case it is a South-Eastern European incarnation of Southern California (Transylvania) that is being offered for sale by ruthless "boosters" (the artists themselves), even if the ingredients of the myth are different (garlic and minced meat rather than palm trees and orange groves).(In the installation Draculaland 2, a map of Romania formed of garlic borders directly on a map of the USA formed of corn flour.) This also allows us to take a fresh look at the USA postcards included in the installation Bodies in Motion. If on the one hand, these function as ideological props that sustain the myth of the Golden West, we can now see that they also function as mirrors directed back at Romania whose reflection shows the country in the golden glow of the Communist sun – two ideologies that subREAL here cast as being essentially equivalent with each other.
As these examples show, subREAL recast the East/West opposition as a play with mirrors: by grafting the Western interest in the Eastern Other (Communism) onto precedents that combine East and West (Dracula as a media construct put together from both Western and Eastern sources; America as an "Eastern" myth, etc.) they undercut the East/West binarism, producing an image of the East as seen through the prism of the Western desire for exotic Otherness. The result is an "Easterning" of the West, and a "Westerning" of the East that may account for the often curiously "tainted" or "impure" character of subREAL's work, its "mixed messages."
If Dracula is all about real estate, there is another sphere where this is the manifestly case, namely art itself (art is what is in a museum or in a gallery). It may be useful to briefly return to Alimentara at this point: perhaps we can also understand this installation as a self-reflexive critique of the institution of the museum or gallery, and their role in the valorization of art (subREAL return to this theme in their Art History installations). In this reading, Alimentara would refer to the artwork itself literally as "food" for the museum: the art museum would be vampiric in that it produces its own reality effect in the form of a seemingly objectivized, un-biased perspective on art. As with literary Realism, so the art museum, too, relies for the efficacy of its strategy on stripping the objects it exhibits of any signified: once inside the museum, these objects do not signify anything outside of their functioning as art (Duchamp was at the origin of this approach). At the same time, this strategy, which acts as the equivalent of the apparent "objectivity" of literary Realism in Barthes' account, veils the ideology in which the art museum is enmeshed, from the (class) interests of its sponsors to the politics of its collectors, etc.
If we read this definition by substituting "museum" or "gallery" for "can," and "art" for "embalmed food" we end up with the vampire as an artist (and the can/museum as his coffin) who continues to "lust for hot drinks" while ordinary people are happy with the pre-digested diet prepared for them by the art institutions. The problem is that in a culture dominated by the irreparable rift between production and consumption, such food (the real, uncontaminated blood of autonomous art production) is exceedingly hard to come by.
subREAL frequently work with the idea of frames and limits, and the way in which such borders create the conditions for art's functioning as an institution. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the artists' work with collections. In 1995, they created an archive of color photographs of anonymous spittle on the streets of the Romanian city of Arad (Campaign), suggesting that "to spit into the street seems to be a popular pastime in Romania, just as elsewhere."(subREAL, Akten/Files, (exhib.cat. Neuer Berliner Kunstverein/Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin], 1996, p. 86.) On the one hand, the artists here once again attest to their interest in non-art, objects or events that, while they can be thought of as art, were not created with a view to becoming art. However, as they proceed to place the individual images in wooden frames as if they were museum exhibits, it becomes clear that non-art cannot stay in this position for long. As soon as a limit or a frame is attached to it – whether material, institutional, or linguistic –, even the formal uncertainty and shapelessnesss of spittle becomes secondary to its functioning as a semiotic "pointer:" once framed and posted along Arad's main street, the images acquire a function somewhere between an art exhibition and a public education campaign.
In 1993 subREAL temporarily assumed custody over an extensive collection of photographs associated with Arta, a periodical that between 1953 and 1993 was Romania's only official art magazine (in the words of one critic, "the mouthpiece for the ruling art doctrine of the day.")(Oliver Marchart, "Der Kunst dienen." In: Eikon 31, 2000, p. 18. Both Király and Dan worked at the Arta magazine in the late 1980s/early 1990s.) As the artists have pointed out, Arta magazine is a real sourcebook for the history of postwar Romanian art history and its ideological background over four decades. The fact that subREAL, rather than accumulating their own archive, took over an already existing – and no longer active – collection of images that was established by an institution puts them in the same position as other artists who work with an existing collection rather than creating their own. Often, as in the case of Mark Dion, such interventions may subvert or "mess up" existing taxonomies and organizational patterns, which may lead to the foundation of an alternative archive or collection. Dion, in this respect not unlike Los Angeles-based David Bunn who took over the remains of the card catalogue of the L.A. public library when that catalogue was digitized, uses an existing archive to found his own; not by destroying the former but by amplifying it. (In his installation at Documenta 13, Dion added several "modern" volumes to an already existing 18th century collection).
subREAL follow a similar path. In one of their installations (Art History Archive 3. Dataroom Deconstruction, 1995), the artists create what they call a "decaying data space," with thousands of photographs hung all over the walls of their studio, and progressively falling to the ground. If this installation created the performative context for explaining that the Arta collection was an "archive in ruins," subREAL also in a sense founded their own archive within the existing collection (much like Dion in this respect) by developing thousands of negatives that were part of the Arta collection but that had never been developed because they were considered irrelevant for the ongoing publication process. Unlike the carefully cropped and edited final images, these negatives showed photographic work in progress, and included camera props, the presence of anonymous helpers, and stage sets in the process of being created. By developing and showing these negatives in a series of installations, subREAL work with the very structure of photography itself, and they extend their analysis to the museum.
As a medium, photography is always archival: its focus is reality not as synthetic summary but reality as a collection. A photograph, much like the archive, always contains much more than the photographer has bargained for, and this noise (the image's archive, as it were) gives it its aura – an aura that originates in photography's technical parameters, even if its effect does not end there. This aura, the photograph's archival dimension which is generally not planned or staged, is crucial for subREAL's work with the Arta collection.
By exhibiting the Arta negatives subREAL valorize not the art works that appeared in the published photographs but the technical operations that allowed for that valorization to occur in the first place, operations that were always shaped by powerful, and evolving, ideological (political and/or art historical) narratives. Among the ideological (technical) operations subREAL reveal in this way is what we might call a photograph's "theatricalization" at the expense of the image's archive: the obscuring of photographic detail by the establishment of an artificial wall (a contrastive background) in the form of a handheld piece of cloth or a bed linen behind the object to be captured, as if the latter was a wild animal hunters were trying to apprehend by throwing a blanket over it.
To exhibit such images, and to reveal the counter-archival techniques that allow them to function as mechanisms of signification, is to lay one's finger on the meaning production of the museum itself. Indeed, modern (art) museums use the very same mechanisms (artificial focus; individual hanging; pervasive order) to organize their collections, techniques designed to allow for art objects to become meaningful within existing ideological (art historical, social, or educational) narratives.(Rosalind Krauss has argued that modern museums create (art historical) meaning by creating a context for comparison based on the way meaning is created in language as understood by structural linguistics (contrast; opposition; etc.). See Rosalind Krauss, "Postmodernisms Museum Without Walls," in Thinking about Exhibitions, edited by Greenberg, Reesa et al., Routledge, 2005. pp. 241-245.) subREAL immerse themselves in the Arta collection to see if it might be possible to get behind the way in which museums (and art magazines) confer meaning. When as part of their Bethanien project they proceed to live in (or with) their archive for twelve full months, they establish a kind of anti-museum without spacing, organization, other kinds of valorization that is facilitated by such techniques. Aligning their work with similar practices in the West where artists such as Andrea Fraser or Michael Fehr have de-sublimated the archive behind the museum in an effort to lay bare the mechanisms that allow them to function,(See Sven Spieker, The Big Archive. Art From Bureaucracy, The MIT Press, Cambridge, Mass., 2008, pp. 173-191.) subREAL create a musée imaginaire in André Malraux's sense of the term. For since in their installation no artificial walls keep the viewers gaze in focus (the photographs hang, or lie, in random order all over the walls and the floor), the museum's mechanisms for the production of meaning (the "wall;" organization; spacing; cropping) become here themselves the focus of the exhibition. The fact that the artists live in their own museum may be viewed as an ironic allusion to pre-19th century art collections where the meaning of art works was not vested in order and organization but rather in their symbolic connection with a noble collector: much like such collectors, subREAL confront "their" collection every time they get out of bed.

CFP Board Releases Independent Task Force Report & Preliminary Response
Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. today released the complete findings and recommendations from the Independent Task Force it created in July to examine and modernize CFP Board's enforcement practices. CFP Board has also issued a preliminary response from its Board of Directors, included in full below.
"We thank the Independent Task Force for their diligence in conducting their examination, especially under such tight time constraints. This process was an essential step that will help the Board strengthen CFP Board's enforcement program, which will benefit all Americans and reinforce the confidence and security that comes from working with a CFP® professional," said Susan John, CFP® and Chair of CFP Board's Board of Directors.
"Our discussions with members of the Board of Directors and CFP Board staff have revealed a strong commitment to protecting the public," said Denise Voigt Crawford, Chair of the Task Force. "Financial planning is of increasing importance in the lives of all Americans, and the CFP Board for decades has played a positive role in helping people realize their personal goals and achieve financial security. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to help the CFP Board."
The following is CFP Board's preliminary response to the Task Force's recommendations:
Board of Directors Preliminary Response to Task Force Report and Recommendations
On July 30, 2019, the Board of Directors of CFP Board ("The Board") formed an Independent Task Force on Enforcement ("Task Force"). The Task Force was charged with the responsibility to deliver a report that examines CFP Board's current enforcement program for its Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct ("Code and Standards") and proposes actionable recommendations for improvements.
The Board appointed Denise Voigt Crawford as Chair of the Task Force and granted her authority to appoint other Task Force members: Mercer E. Bullard, Michael Huggs, Richard Salmen, CFP®, and Nancy Smith.
The Board thanks Ms. Crawford and the Task Force members for their perspective, diligence and hard work throughout this important process. The Task Force delivered their report as promised in time for CFP Board's November Board of Directors Meeting. The report is robust and comprehensive. The Board has read the report thoroughly, takes its recommendations seriously and is committed to strengthening CFP Board's enforcement of its Code and Standards to benefit all Americans and to reinforce the confidence and security people gain from working with a CFP® professional.
CFP Board's Current and Enhanced Enforcement Efforts
The enforcement of CFP Board's Code and Standards is a vital component of CFP Board's certification program. CFP Board's objective for our enforcement program is to follow a well-defined process that both reassures the public and is fair to a CFP® professional.
This process begins when applying for CFP® certification. Prior to being certified, a candidate for CFP® certification undergoes an extensive background check to determine whether the candidate's prior conduct is consistent with our ethical and fitness standards, and would not reflect adversely upon the profession or the CFP® certification mark. Individuals who do not meet our ethical requirements are denied certification. Once certified, a CFP® professional is required to comply with CFP Board's Code and Standards and must complete regular ethics attestations. CFP Board has conducted hundreds of investigations each year and, since its inception, has issued more than 1,000 public sanctions for noncompliance with its Code and Standards.
In mid-2019, CFP Board introduced enhancements to its enforcement program in response to important issues raised publicly, many of which the Task Force addressed in its report. A primary issue has been the reliance on CFP® professionals self-reporting events that would trigger an investigation. To address this concern and to strengthen the enforcement of its Code and Standards, CFP Board has taken the following preliminary actions:
CFP Board no longer relies primarily on the self-disclosure of CFP® professionals;
CFP Board has implemented annual background checks on all CFP® professionals, including reviews of FINRA's BrokerCheck, the SEC's IAPD, and other publicly available information;
Those who are certified are required to make ongoing disclosures of an expanded category of information within 30 calendar days;
CFP Board now provides consumers with access to BrokerCheck and IAPD information on letsmakeaplan.org and CFP.net/verify; and
CFP Board staff have been continuously reviewing Broker Check for existing CFP® professionals and continue to monitor and follow up on regulatory actions by the federal government and self-regulatory agencies if CFP® professionals are named.
Task Force Recommendations and Initial CFP Board Actions
The Task Force concluded that there are opportunities to enhance CFP Board's governance, organizational structure and processes. While The Board disagrees with some of the assertions and characterizations made in the report, The Board is committed to making the following reforms to improve CFP Board's enforcement program for its Code and Standards for the benefit of the public:
Retain individuals with governance expertise to evaluate CFP Board's governance structure, including with respect to Board of Director composition and Board oversight of the enforcement of CFP Board's Code and Standards.
Define, in written policies, the specific enforcement outcomes that the Board of Directors expects CFP Board staff to achieve and to monitor rigorously the CEO's performance against those expectations.
Make Enterprise Risk a CFP Board priority that is subject to a Board Committee's oversight. Enforcement and public awareness activities (including the letsmakeaplan.org website) to be included in the Enterprise Risk program.
Require annual ethics attestation and improve the background checks on all CFP® professionals that includes access to and review of publicly available information according to the expanded due diligence process described in the above reforms.
Strengthen the sanction for failing to self-report information to CFP Board. CFP Board will form a Commission in 2020 to review and develop recommendations for revisions to the existing Fitness Standards and Sanction Guidelines, and this will be part of the Commission's mandate. CFP Board will invite public comment on any proposed changes to these Fitness Standards and Sanction Guidelines.
CFP Board Committed to Enforcement Within its Scope
CFP Board is a professional body that issues a voluntary certification. The Board is committed to ensuring that CFP Board takes appropriate, pro-active steps to identify misconduct and to enforce its Code and Standards. However, The Board concluded that many of the recommendations require further deliberation to fully analyze their implications. The Board also believes some actions recommended by the Task Force are more properly reserved for a government regulator or government-authorized SRO, rather than a professional body.
Thus, the Board does not intend for CFP Board's enforcement program to include:
Conducting desk audits, other periodic audits, on-site examinations, random sampling, or inspections of CFP® professionals; or
Sanctioning a CFP® professional for a CFP® Professional Firm's refusal to provide documents and information to CFP Board, which could be inferred by reading Recommendation 10a of the Task Force's report. However, The Board will form a Commission in 2020 to consider revisions to the existing Fitness Standards and Sanction Guidelines, which will include consultations with all stakeholders, including firms, about cooperation with CFP Board's investigations, with proposed changes subject to a public comment period.
Timing and Process
The Board of Directors is firmly committed to strengthening CFP Board's enforcement program for its Code and Standards, and greatly appreciates the work done by the Task Force to help identify specific actions designed to achieve that goal. Before making its final decisions, The Board will continue to thoroughly digest, discuss and deliberate the Task Force's additional recommendations, as well as the potential implications of their implementation. Some changes may require additional public comment. Information about CFP Board's enhanced enforcement efforts will be made public as it becomes available.
While CFP Board continues to evaluate the Report and the Task Force's recommendations, and otherwise examines its enforcement activities, it will be guided by its mission of benefitting the public by granting the CFP® certification and upholding it as the recognized standard of excellence for competent and ethical personal financial planning.

Q: iOS Development: iPhone-only app behaves different on iPad compared to simulator I'm developing an iPhone-only app. When I simulate it on iPad 3rd gen. (iOS 8.0), it acts like as universal app, I mean the app is full screen and there is no x2, x1 choices on the corner.
On the other hand, when I simulate it on simulator (iPad Retina, iOS 8.1) on mac, it behaves like iPhone-only app that is what I expect.

*

*I check targeted device, build settings and it is iPhone.

*I copy source files to new project and nothing's changed. ( not settings, only source files).

*I disable size classes change them to iPhone and still nothing's changed.

What do you suggest to solve this problem?

My dilemma is I've been involved with an alcoholic for the last 2 ½ years. I just recently broke it off. I know I can't change him, but can I help him to know our Lord and Savior?
Honestly, when I'm with him, I don't like myself. He brings out rage in me. I become judgmental and I have never been judgmental before. Is this the Lord's way of testing my endurance or testing my strength? Is there hope that he will see the "light"? Do I stand by him and show him by example what goodness the Lord can offer?
His treatment of me is poor to say the least, but I can't help feeling that I have abandoned him. I am still thoroughly confused. I pray and ask for answers yet don't hear any.
– K. from Mt. Carmel, Pa.
Part 2: Will you own your own issues?
Part 3: What practical steps can you take toward new health and happiness?
You have probably been told these things before and in your head you probably know it is true. Still, emotionally you continue to feel responsible for him. That is your issue and we will talk about that in a little while.
God's heart is for this man to be restored and healed to the uttermost. The Father willingly gave his Son as a sacrifice so that each human being would live life here on earth to the fullest and then spend eternity with him in heaven. Think how wonderful that is. Even knowing that every person would not accept his gift he gave it anyhow.
God respects each person's free will. He will pursue us and woo us and wait for us patiently. He loves us infinitely yet in the end he will respect our decision. If you place this man totally in God's hands you can be certain that HE will be responsible for him. God loves him much more than you do. Lay him down at Jesus' feet.
Next: Now let's get to YOUR issues.
You keep wondering; is there something more I could have done? How will my abandoning him help? Shouldn't I stay and witness to him? Is God testing my strength? Underlying all that is the supposition that you are somehow responsible and that brings on guilt. But we know those are his issues. Right?
Stop second guessing yourself. Stop feeling guilty. Start concentrating on the great treasure you are to God. You probably don't feel like a treasure. You probably feel like you don't deserve the really best and most wonderful things in life. The truth is that none of us do deserve them. Even so, God has a wonderful plan for you and wants to give you great blessings.
I would like to see you turn your eyes away from this 2 ½ year destructive relationship and turn your eyes on God's best for you. What does he have in store for you? I know he has deep peace for your heart and I know he has joy to accompany you in all the tough places. He may just have a few more surprises for you too!
Alcoholism is extremely insidious in its ability to dampen the spirit of everyone touched by it. You have probably been assaulted in your spirit more than you know. You may need special prayer by some other Christians who can talk with you and support you and encourage you. Perhaps there is a Christian support group you could join? You do not have to be alone as you pursue a new and healthier life for yourself.
Next: Practically speaking, how can you move on?
I want to start this by repeating what I ended with in Part 2: You need a spiritual support system and you need a prayer partner. See if your church has any small home fellowship groups that you can be part of or seek a good Christian church that does. Perhaps you need to make an appointment with your Pastor and see what he suggests.
I emphasize that you should not be alone as you try to proceed in life after disconnecting from this relationship. Why? Because if you don't change some patterns in your life it will be very tempting to return to the relationship when you are lonely or have a moment of weakness.
The next thing is having something wonderful and productive to fill the empty places. It's especially important to have something different to do during those times or nights of the week that you previously devoted to the relationship. If you always met for dinner on Friday night, you need to get something new going during that time frame.
The easiest and quickest way to get out of your own thoughts and concerns is to serve someone else. Volunteer. For instance, volunteer at your local library to teach someone how to read. Sign up at your church to help make meals for the benevolence ministry. Assist at school for some after school program. Whatever you do can be small as long as your eyes are directed to someone else's need.
Finally, congratulate yourself on making a healthy choice by breaking off a destructive relationship. I certainly congratulate you and admire your courage. This is not the end of something but the beginning of something good and wonderful. Later, as you look back that decision will be confirmed over and over again. You will be so glad you stuck with it over the loneliness hump and made it to the other side.

Jerry Kilgore headlines fundraiser for Chuck Slemp for Commonwealth's Attorney
In 2005 when Chuck Slemp was driving gubernatorial candidate Jerry Kilgore to political events around Virginia, the University of Virginia at Wise graduate with the engaging personality and friendly smile had a goal. His plan was to attend law school and return to Wise to open a law office and serve the citizens of southwestern Virginia. Now ten years later, Chuck's dream came true and he is a successful and established attorney with law offices in Wise and Pennington Gap.
Married, he and his wife have two children, and he has a new goal: Commonwealth's Attorney. His campaign is in full swing as he and his team of volunteers work toward election day. This week Chuck's old boss will be in town to help. Former Virginia Attorney General Jerry Kilgore will headline a fundraiser dinner on Thursday, October 1, at the Inn at Wise.
The names of Republican officials who have been invited read like a who's who and include Delegate Terry Kilgore, Senator Bill Carrico, Senator Ben Chafin, Delegate Todd Pillion, Delegate Israel O'Quinn, Delegate Will Morefield, and Delegate Jeff Campbell. Thursday's event will be the place to be in southwestern Virginia.

Time: 6-7:00 Reception / 7-8:30 Dinner

Jeb brings presidential campaign to Bristol, helps Virginia senate candidates

Impressive. That was my first thought reflecting on Thursday's fundraiser with Governor Jeb Bush to help Republican state senate candidates retain their majority in Virginia's General Assembly. In an election year when all 40 seats are up for reelection, Republicans hold a slim 21-19 lead. Demonstrating the team effort that has been stressed as absolutely necessity, Governor Bush emphasized, "We have to be a team of conservatives that reach out to everybody to win."
It wasn't his first time helping Virginia Republicans. Earlier this year he donated $10,000 to the cash-strapped Republican Party of Virginia.

5 must see matches this weekend (2/3.3.19)
by JuniorParadot
Written by JuniorParadot
Rivalry. Built up over decades between neighbouring teams who have a genuine hatred for each other. Around the world there are many incredible rivalries that produce fascinating games time and time again. The 90 minutes that are played out in a derby cannot be challenged by any other fixture as the drive and desire to beat the opponent is so strong, teams will do anything to win. Over the next two days, five of those derbies take place across four different countries and I am here to tell you everything you need to know before they begin.
Tottenham v Arsenal
Premier League: Saturday 12:30
Just one week ago Tottenham had a 10 point gap over their North London rivals as they prepared to face Burnley at Turf Moor. Now Arsenal have the chance to be just one point adrift, as they hope to do the double over Spurs for the first time since the 2013/14 season. What was hailed as a "massive week" by Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has not gone to plan thus far, as defeats away to Burnley and Chelsea has ended the club's slim title hopes and has now left them looking over their shoulder. If it was to become three league defeats in a row, which has not happened since November 2012, Pochettino and his men would be thrust right into a battle for the top 4 as Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea close in. Incidentally, that third defeat back in November 2012 came against the Gunners. Unai Emery's men are in fine form too, winning six of their last eight league games to climb into the all-important Champions League places. They also posses a strike force in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette who have scored or assisted 12 times in all competitions since the turn of the year. Tottenham front man Harry Kane is not shy when it comes to the North London Derby however, as the 25 year-old has eight goals in nine meetings between the clubs. His swift recovery from an ankle injury is a timely one. Spurs, despite winning four in a row, have not looked convincing without their talisman and now need him to start firing once again if they are going to salvage anything from their season. Form leans towards the visitors for this one but in a derby, nothing is predictable. A match that is so much more than three points. Who will have bragging rights in North London come Saturday afternoon? Which team will have taken a huge stride towards securing a top 4 finish? The game that kicks off the weekend promises to be a cracker!

Lazio v Roma
Serie A: Saturday 19:30
Derby della Capitale; the derby of the capital city. Considered the fiercest rivalry in Italy, it is played out by Roma and Lazio. This fixture goes back almost a century and in that time the level of violence both on and off the pitch has consistently risen which has resulted in it receiving a dangerous reputation. The animosity of both sets of fans peaked in 1979 when a Lazio supporter was killed by a flare that was shot from the Roma end. Fights are always occurring when these two meet and one fixture was actually abandoned back in 2004 after a riot broke out in the stadium. On the pitch the statistics follow up the violent nature in the stands, with this matchup having seen more red cards than any other in Italy since the mid 90's. Furthermore, these two share a stadium – this absolutely baffles me by the way. I do not understand how two fierce rivals can share one home. The thought of Liverpool and Everton, Tottenham and Arsenal or the two Manchester clubs sharing a stadium seems impossible but Roma and Lazio's joint ownership of the Stadio Olimpico is not the only occurrence of this type of situation in Europe. Perhaps it is a European thing. Anyway, both of these clubs know that a victory in this game is as important as ever. This is because they are amongst six teams battling for two Champions League spots. Roma (5th) and Lazio (6th) currently hold the two Europa League qualification places but both teams, and their fans, have bigger aspirations. After Inter Milan's defeat on Friday night, Roma know victory could propel them to third in the table. Alternatively, an away win would see Lazio close the gap to their rivals down to just three points. The home side are unbeaten in eight, winning six of those, and have not lost at home since mid October. They have also scored an impressive 30 goals in 12 games on home soil this season. Le Aquile on the other hand are struggling to find consistency in their form. In their last ten they have won five, drawn two and lost three. With realistic hopes of a top four finish, both teams will be buoyed on even more to snatch three points in the 172nd instalment of the Derby della Capitale.
Real Madrid v Barcelona
La Liga Santander: Saturday 19:45
A rivalry between two of the most successful clubs in football history. With 134 domestic titles between them, the El Classico really is that; a classic when it comes to historical matchups. The first meeting between Spain's top two teams came way back in 1916 as they met in the semi-final of the Copa del Ray. Real won 5-3 on aggregate and the competition between these sides has continued ever since. What puts this tie up there as one of the greats is the fact that so many world class players have featured for either Madrid or Barca. This means when the two meet, we are usually lucky enough to witness a truly wonderful game of football. The likes of Ronaldinho, Johan Cruyff, Andrés Iniesta, Patrick Kluivert and Diego Maradona have all worn the colours of Barcelona but there is one man who, in my eyes, stands above them all. Lionel Messi. One of the greatest players to ever grace a football pitch now captains the Catalan club and his statistics are quite remarkable. 670 appearances for Barca and in that time he has scored 585 goals and assisted 235 times. No words can describe this man. At the ago of 31, Messi still have some years ahead of him to boost those numbers too. Real aren't short of historical figures either. Players such as Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, Luiz Figo, Raul, Roberto Carlos and Cristiano Ronaldo have all represented Los Blancos but it is a player like these that Madrid are lacking now. Since Portuguese star Ronaldo left for Juventus last summer things have not looked the same at the Bernabéu. Real have struggled to find a talisman and now find themselves nine points worse off than their rivals Barca in La Liga. Defeat in the El Classico on Saturday would surely end Madrid's hopes of winning the league for a 34th time. These two met in Madrid just three days ago in the Copa del Ray semi-final as Barcelona comfortably won 3-0. Will this tie see Real get instant redemption, or will Messi and co pile the pressure onto a side that is a shadow of there normal selves.
FC Porto v Benfica
Liga NOS: Saturday 20:30
Is this game a title decider? FC Porto and Benfica are separated by just one point at the top of the Liga NOS table as we enter matchday 24 and, with only nine games remaining after this one, three points for either side could be decisive in the title race. Add to that this is one of Portugal's fiercest rivalries and you've got yourself a showdown in Porto that you dare not miss. Unlike others, O Clássico isn't about neighbouring clubs, but stemmed naturally as the two teams are based in Portugal's largest cites and therefore became the two richest and most successful clubs. Don't let their geographical distance fool you though, this rivalry is as highly contested as one between two teams within a mile of one another. Benfica and Porto have fought it out over decades to see who can be the most successful Portuguese club and that is still as tight today as it was back in 1912. Thanks to their dominance not only in Portugal, but in Europe in the 60's, Benfica have won an unprecedented 36 titles. Either one of these sides have won Portugal's top division for the last 16 years and with there being a seven point buffer between second and third place, the feeling is that record is going to continue. With eight of Porto's last nine games being against teams they have already beaten this season, the importance of a victory for Benfica is magnified even more. Águias do come into this must-win game in scintillating form, having won their last eight league games (including a 10-0 demolition of Nacional). The 36-times winners are also part of an elite club, as they are only one of two teams to have beaten Porto this season. Couple that with their away record, which is the best in the league, and the Eagles might just be able to sneak this one. If we do see an away victory on Saturday, Benfica will go two points clear at the top and the title will be in their hands. However, a Porto win would see them open a four point cushion and, the way they've been playing this season, I cannot see them blowing it.
Everton v Liverpool
Premier League: Sunday 16:15
With their stadiums separated by just 1400 yards, Everton and Liverpool's rivalry really is homegrown. If you live on Merseyside you are either red or blue and that's that. This Scouse derby spans back over 100 years but for the last decade or so has been dominated by the red half of Merseyside. Liverpool haven't lost a Merseyside derby in any competition since October 2010, a run that stretches 18 games. You have to feel for Everton fans, nine years without a win against your worst enemy must be torture. Especially because the Toffee's haven't had too much to shout about in recent years either. A consistent top-half team yes, but they show no signs that they will be able to push for European football. For them, the Merseyside derby is the highlight of their season, whereas Liverpool became a title-winning team that also had success in Europe. So for the Reds, if they were too lose against Everton, which they hardly do, it wouldn't be the end of the world. That being said, no-one wants to lose a derby. When these two met at Anfield at the start of December it was a dull affair, with the game seemingly heading for a nil-nil. However, a howler from Toffee's 'keeper Jordan Pickford in the 96th minute allowed Belgian Divock Origi to head into an empty net from a yard out to give the home side all three points. After a little hiccup, the Reds have found their form again and sit at the top of the Premier League table with 10 games to play. A 3-0 victory in Cardiff on Tuesday relieved some of the pressure off Marco Silva as his side won just their third game in nine. Can the Everton players use that victory as a springboard to finally overturn their foes at Goodison Park? Jürgen Klopp's men are in the hunt for their 19th league title, 29 years after they won their last, and victory over their closest rivals would certainly be a massive hurdle that they had overcome.

Ronnie was only stopped by his 1968 arrest for murder. The following year, he was convicted and spent the rest of his life in prison. Ronnie died in 1995.

Ronnie was married to Elaine Mildener from 1985 to 1989. The same year of his divorce, he married Kate Howard. Their marriage ended in 1994.
Ronnie died of a heart attack in 1995 while still a prisoner at Broadmoor. Onlookers crowded the streets to catch a glimpse of the famed gangster's coffin as it was taken through the East End. His brother Reggie was allowed to leave prison to say goodbye to his twin. Reggie died five years later.
While both Kray twins are now gone, their lives and crimes remain the subject of endless fascination. Books, documentaries and feature films have explored these two notorious figures. Most recently, actor Tom Hardy portrayed both brothers in the 2015 movie Legend.
As the 1950s progressed, Ronnie had taken up a broad range of criminal activities, ranging from extortion to arson. He and his brother had their own gang known as "The Firm." His hands-on approach to taking care of business landed him some time behind bars — he was convicted of grievous bodily harm in the late 1950s. While in prison, he was labelled insane (and later diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia). Ronnie and Reggie had another brush with the law in 1965. Both brothers were arrested in connection with their efforts to shake down a Soho club owner, but they were later acquitted in this case.
In the East End, Ronnie and Reggie Kray were known for being generous to their community. The pair were also famous for their sharply tailored suits and celebrity connections. One of their clubs, Esmeralda's Barn, attracted a glittering clientele that included actors George Raft and Joan Collins. Ronnie also made an influential friend in Lord Robert Boothby, a British Conservative politician with whom he may have had a sexual relationship.
Ronnie's temper contributed to his final clash with the law. With no regard for the consequences, he walked into a pub called the Blind Beggar and shot his adversary George Cornell in the head in 1966. Ronnie reportedly was enraged over a gay slur that Cornell had said about him. The following year, Ronnie reportedly egged on his brother Reggie to kill a wayward member of their own gang, Jack "the Hat" McVitie. The East End's code of silence on the Krays' activities eventually cracked, and the pair were arrested in 1968 for these murders.
Scotland Yard's Inspector Leonard "Nipper" Read spent years working to bring the Kray twins to justice. When they were convicted in 1969, the judge told them: "In my view, society has earned a rest from your activities," according to the Telegraph newspaper. Because of his mental illness, Ronnie was sent to Broadmoor, a hospital for the criminally insane. He later shared the details of his life in his shared memoir with Reggie called Our Story (1988) and in his own autobiography My Story (1994). Ronnie considered himself to be bisexual and married twice while behind bars.
Born on October 24, 1933, in East London, Ronnie Kray founded the infamous criminal gang known as "The Firm" with his identical twin brother Reggie. The twins, along with their older brother Charles, grew up in London's East End. Their father, Charles Sr., was a second-hand clothes dealer. He was in and out of the boys' lives while they were growing up because he went on the run to avoid military service. But the boys were especially devoted to their mother Violet.
Their maternal grandfather, Jimmy "Cannonball" Lee, was a fighter. Following in his footsteps, Ronnie and Reggie became boxers. Ronnie had some success in the sport, but his brother was considered the real contender. Outside of the ring, Ronnie was later known for his temper and willingness to fight anyone that slighted him. In 1951 the Kray brothers began their national service, but the pair was truly too unruly for the military. They each earned a dishonorable discharge in 1954.

Title: Air Pollution Accountability Studies: Lesson Learned and Future Opportunities
Abstract: Policy makers seek tools to quantify the net health benefits of improved air quality or of proposed air quality regulations. The most commonly applied approach is risk assessment, that is, estimating health benefits from expected or observed air quality changes by extrapolating exposure response functions from existing epidemiologic studies. Accountability studies attempt to validate these assessments based on empirical evidence of the effects on air pollution and health of regulatory actions, interventions, or "natural" experiments. Accountability studies are appealing in that they are the closest epidemiologic equivalent to controlled experimental studies, and thus may provide evidence for causal relationships. Nevertheless, accountability studies must disentangle policy-related changes in air pollution and health from other time-varying factors influencing air pollution and/or health. We will examine the range of study designs used in accountability studies and the challenges faced in these studies.

The truth about low-carb vs. low-fat diets
Stop falling for the hype
Updated: 4:06 PM EDT Jul 21, 2017
Candace Braun Davison
It's the staggering truth behind The Biggest Loser: On average, many of the contestants gained back most of the weight they lost on the show. Four were heavier than they were before going on TV, according to a 2016 National Institute of Health (NIH) study. However, there's a silver lining to that finding — it's prompted all kinds of research and deeper analysis into major diet trends to find out what really works. Increasingly, researchers and doctors are finding that the real key to weight loss isn't low-carb or low-fat; it's taking a much more personalized approach."Some people on a diet program lose 60 pounds and keep it off for two years, and other people follow the same program religiously, and they gain 5 pounds," weight-loss researcher and Harvard cardiovascular disease prevention professor Frank Sacks told Time in its June 5 cover story.For decades, we've followed a basic principle: Work out more, eat fewer calories, and the pounds will melt off. But, as Sacks's example shows, the end result can vary widely from person to person, and — as The Biggest Loser study showed — it doesn't mean you'll keep the weight off, even if you maintain smaller portions later.Ask Yourself This First The biggest thing, it seems, is testing out each method for a few months and noting how you feel during the diet. Is it a lifestyle that wears away at you? Are you always a little hungry and grumpy? Those are warning signs. "You need a plan that satisfies hunger," iDiet founder and Tufts University nutrition professor Susan Roberts told Time. "Most diets fail because hunger erodes willpower."If you're always feeling unsatisfied, it's hard to make a lifestyle change you can (and want) to stick to. But Really, Is Low-Carb Better For Me?Though some research shows low-carb diets have a slight edge over low-fat diets, you see on both sides of the spectrum widely varying results. In a 609-person study that divided people into both diet plans — "low-carb" being about 30% carbs and 45% fat, and "low-fat" being one with 29% fat and 48% carbs — each lost about the same amount. Neither group stood out for having a faster metabolism or more fat loss in the end. Even hypotheses that people who have a greater resistance to insulin would perform better on a low-carb diet didn't hold true here, the Washington Post reported. What really worked, in this study, was changing your relationship with food. This, too, echoed Roberts' statement. Instead of focusing on the ways you're deprived — fewer calories, less fat, fewer carbs — paying greater attention to how you feel as you eat healthy may be key. "I can't tell you that low carb or low fat diets are universally good or bad, since it mostly depends on one's individual dietary habits," says Jaclyn London, MS, RD, CDN, Nutrition Director at the Good Housekeeping Institute. "But I can tell you that researchers and nutritionists agree across the board that choosing a healthy weight loss plan that works for you, and sticking to it, is the most successful way to lose weight."Here's What You Can Learn From "The Biggest Loser" Here's where the news gets worse: Remember those Biggest Loser contestants who gained weight? As the pounds crept back on, their metabolism didn't speed back up. It stayed low, the NIH study found, burning about 700 fewer calories per day than it did when they started their weight loss journey. It's an unfortunate reality — and one to be aware of, because although The Biggest Loser's stars lose weight dramatically fast, Time found that even people who lose just a couple pounds a week can struggle with a sluggish metabolism. But there is a way to fight back. The National Weight Control Registry's study of 10,000 people who've kept pounds off found a few things in common, if not a particular diet or meal plan:They eat breakfast daily.They weigh themselves once a week.They watch less than 10 hours of TV a week.They exercise about an hour a day (with walking the most popular method).It's a straightforward approach that sounds a lot like how the founders of Georgetown Cupcake, Sophie Kallinis LaMontagne and Katherine Kallinis Berman, lost a combined 100 pounds and kept it off for years. In the end, you just have to find what works for you — what you can comfortably tolerate — and stick to it, it seems.

Henri Ungemach (Straatsburg, 10 september 1879 - aldaar, 11 juni 1936) was een Franse entomoloog en mineraloog.

Levensloop
Zijn ouders waren Charles Léon Ungemach (1844-1928), grootindustrieel in Straatsburg (in kruidenierswaren en conserven), en Marie Élisabeth Himly (1856-1935). Henri Léon Ungemach volgde zijn middelbareschoolopleiding aan het Protestants Gymnasium in Straatsburg. Daarna ging hij naar de Eidgenössische Polytechnische Schule van Zürich, waar hij in 1904 afstudeerde als scheikundig ingenieur. Hij schreef zich in aan de Universiteit van Straatsburg om zich te wijden aan zijn proefschrift getiteld "Die Erz-lagerstätten des Weilertales" dat hij in 1907 met succes verdedigde, zodat hij zich doctor in de mineralogie mocht noemen.

Als jonge man was Henri Ungemach gefascineerd door aardrijkskunde en de natuur. Hij wist zijn passie en kennis over de natuur over te brengen aan de mensen om hem heen.

Op 14 februari 1908 trouwde Henri Ungemach in Parijs met Éva Denise Andrée Bénédite (1885-1956). Haar ouders waren Léonce Bénédite (de beroemde Franse kunsthistoricus, conservator van het Musée du Luxembourg en oprichter van het Musée Rodin) en Marie Valentine Amélie le Mancel (1853 - 1930). Het echtpaar kreeg vier kinderen.

Zo begon voor de Elzasser mineraloog een carrière waarin hij belangrijk onderzoek zou doen op het gebied van mineralogie en kristallografie, zowel in de Elzas als buiten Frankrijk, met name in Noord-Amerika, Marokko, Madagaskar en Ethiopië. Hij heeft meer dan 2.300 kristalvormen beschreven en nieuwe soorten mineralen gedefinieerd, op basis van monsters uit zijn mineralogiecollecties. Zijn mineralogieonderzoeken hebben geresulteerd in een 40-tal publicaties, tussen 1906 en 1936. Een nieuw mineraal uit Chili is door Martin Alfred Peacock en Mark Chance Bandy in 1938 naar hem vernoemd: Ungemachite.

Zijn eerste grote reis, na de verdediging van zijn proefschrift, bracht hem naar Amerika, waar hij achtereenvolgens de Verenigde Staten (Californië), Canada, en Mexico bezocht. In dat laatste land bleef hij langer omdat hij een passie voor de beschaving van de Azteken ontwikkelde. Onder begeleiding van een gids maakte hij lange expedities te paard naar afgelegen locaties op zoek naar de overblijfselen van de Azteken-kunst.

Terug uit Amerika vestigde Henri Ungemach zich in Villé (Bas-Rhin) in het pand van zijn ouders, op het Château de Honcourt, een landgoed in Val de Villé dat zijn vader na 1890 had gekocht van familieleden, de gezusters Hansmaennel. In die tijd leidde Henry Ungemach de exploitatie van de zilvermijnen van Saint-Sylvestre, vlakbij de Col d'Urbeis (Bas-Rhin), in de gelijknamige stad en vlakbij Villé.

In deze periode werd Henri Ungemach lid van de Société d'Histoire Naturelle de Colmar, waar hij tot ten minste 1929 lid van bleef. Hij werd ook lid van de société française de minéralogie et de cristallographie (SFMC), waarvan hij van 1919 tot 1934 de functie van secretaris bekleedde. Het lijkt erop dat hij nooit lid is geworden van de Société Entomologique de France, noch van de L'Amateur de Papillons, hoewel hij duidelijk een bekende was van Léon Lhomme, auteur van onder andere het 800 pagina's tellende boekwerk over de vlinders van Frankrijk en België.

In 1911 verruilde Henri Ungemach de Elzas voor Parijs. In Parijs komt hij in contact met de Compagnie Générale des Colonies. Vanaf dat moment reisde hij voor mijnbouwbedrijven naar diverse potentiële mijnbouwgebieden. Zijn eerste missie bracht hem naar Marokko, waarvandaan hij succesvol terugkeerde. De volgende reis bracht hem naar Madagaskar. Maar terwijl hij het onderzoek naar de grafietafzettingen leidde, brak de Eerste Wereldoorlog uit. Hij moest onmiddellijk terug naar Frankrijk om zich in Vincennes aan te sluiten bij een Elzasser regiment, dat hij al snel verliet om zich bij het 8e regiment aan te sluiten.

Ungemach raakte in de Vogezen bij Chaume de Lusse gewond aan zijn linkerhand, door granaatscherven. Hij moest een lang herstel in acht nemen en ontving voor zijn gedrag aan het front het oorlogskruis. Hij keerde terug naar Fontainebleau, waar hij de opleiding voor tweede luitenant volbracht. Hij nam in 1918 deel aan de tweede slag om de Marne, met het 85e artillerieregiment. Op 21 november 1918 kwam hij aan in zijn Elzasser thuisland en de volgende dag bereikte hij Straatsburg. Ontheven van zijn taak in het regiment bezette hij enige tijd een functie bij het arrondissement Strasbourg-Campagne.

Na de Eerste Wereldoorlog werd Ungemach door de regering naar Marokko gestuurd om naar zeldzame metalen te zoeken (goud, zilver, platina). Deze activiteit, die discreet moest blijven (zelfs geheim) was slim verborgen achter een meer "officiële" missie, namelijk om de entomologische fauna te bestuderen. Zodoende vertrok Henri Ungemach in 1922, "vermomd" als vlinderjager met René de Segonzac en Ferdinand-Louis Le Cerf naar het Atlasgebergte. Hij ging helemaal op in zijn "spel" en wist een groot aantal vlinders te verzamelen voor zijn onderzoek. De resultaten van dit onderzoek werden vastgelegd in een publicatie van Ferdinand Le Cerf, waarin hij verschillende taxa beschreef, waaronder een nieuwe Zygaena-soort voor de wetenschap, die hij opdroeg aan Ungemach, de ontdekker ervan: Zygaena ungemachi.

In januari 1923, tijdens de Ruhrbezetting, beantwoordde Henri Ungemach de oproep van de Franse regering om als ingenieur deel te nemen aan de Mission Interalliée de Contrôle des Usines et des Mines (M.I.C.U.M.) voor de duur van de bezetting. Bij zijn terugkeer naar Parijs in 1925 werd hij onderscheiden met het Légion d'Honneur.

Tijdens drie opeenvolgende mijnmissies van 1925 tot 1927 in Ethiopië voor een bedrijf dat het platinazand van de Baro (rivier) exploiteerde, zou Henri Ungemach weer overgaan tot "vruchtbare oogsten", die hem in staat zouden stellen om in 1932 een omvangrijk werk over vlinders te publiceren.

Nadat hij van zijn vrouw was gescheiden, verliet hij in 1930 Parijs om bij zijn moeder in Straatsburg te gaan wonen, aan wie hij zeer was gehecht. Vanaf 1932 was Ungemach verbonden aan het Mineralogielaboratorium van de Universiteit van Straatsburg, waar hij verantwoordelijk was voor de herziening van de catalogi van de aanwezige collecties. Hij ontving in 1934 een onderzoeksbeurs van de Caisse Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique.

De laatste reis van Henri Ungemach naar Ethiopië was bijzonder zwaar en vermoeiend voor hem. Bij zijn terugkeer in Parijs kreeg hij bronchitis waar hij een longbeschadiging aan overhield. Hiervoor moest hij frequent in het hooggebergte verblijven, maar deze therapie baatte niet. Ungemach moest voortaan verre reizen opgeven. Hij ging nog twee keer naar zijn vrienden van het Institut scientifique chérifien in Rabat in Marokko.

Vanaf maart 1936 verergerde zijn ziekte snel. Ondanks de hoge koorts stopte hij nooit met werken, studeren of lezen. Tegen het einde van zijn leven was hij weer begonnen met het lezen van Griekse en Latijnse auteurs. De  Oden van Horatius lagen tot op het laatst op zijn nachtkastje.

Henri Ungemach overleed op 11 juni 1936 op 56-jarige leeftijd in Straatsburg, als gevolg van longtuberculose. Ungemach was bescheiden en onbaatzuchtig. Hij was een natuuronderzoeker met een encyclopedische kennis, die vloeiend Duits en Engels sprak alsof het zijn moedertaal was. Bovendien sprak hij ook Italiaans en Spaans. Latijn en oud-Grieks schreef en las hij met evenveel gemak. Hij was een muziekkenner en hij waardeerde vooral de werken van Johann Sebastian Bach en Ludwig van Beethoven. Marie-Joseph Erb, een Elzasser componist, organist en professor aan het Conservatorium van Straatsburg, droeg in 1899 een eigen werk aan hem op.

Nalatenschap
Waarschijnlijk heeft Henri Ungemach tussen 1922 en 1935 regelmatig Villé (Bas-Rhin) bezocht, getuige de verschillende dozen van zijn collectie van micro's in het Entomologisch Laboratorium van het Museum van Parijs. Hoe deze dozen precies in het museum zijn terechtgekomen, is niet precies meer te achterhalen. Meest waarschijnlijk is dat Ungemach na zijn missie naar Marokko met Ferdinand Le Cerf bevriend was geraakt, en hij hem daarom zijn collectie aanbood om deze aan het museum te schenken. Volgens Raymond Hocart heeft Henri Ungemach zijn collecties van Europese vlinders en van de kevers uit Val de Villé aan het museum nagelaten. Aan het Institut scientifique chérifien in Rabat schonk hij zijn verzameling van schelpen die hij voor de kusten van Algerije en Marokko had verzameld. Hij liet verder schitterende herbaria, hydrografische kaarten en foto's na.

Het grootste deel van Ungemachs collectie van vlinders met door Ferdinand Le Cerf beschreven typen en paratypes bleven na zijn dood eigendom van zijn familie. De weduwe van zijn neef bood deze later aan aan het Zoölogisch Museum van Straatsburg. Er moet ook worden opgemerkt dat Henri Ungemach hoogstwaarschijnlijk bevriend was met Léon Lhomme, getuige de talrijke vermeldingen van Villé in zijn standaardwerk over de vlinders van Frankrijk en België (Catalogue des Lépidoptères de France et de Belgique). Enkele microlepidoptera uit de collectie van Henri Ungemach dienden ook als model voor de aquarellist René Préchac voor de realisatie van de nachtvlinder-platen voor het derde boekje uit de Petit Atlas-serie.
