Brazil has always been one of the most traditional business partners in the Islamic market, particularly MENA countries, and is the leading Halal meat exporter with over two million tons per year and figuring as one of the most important Halal poultry exporters. The economic relationship between Brazil and MENA countries is currently on the rise, with Brazilian exports of beef to these countries amounting to US$189.75 million just in the first quarter of this year, a growth of 37.6% compared to the results observed in the same period in 2017.
In correlation with the increasing volume of operations involving beef, poultry and other commodities produced in Brazil, it is perceived that there will be an increase in the number and volume of investments made by Shariah compliant and sovereign funds in infrastructure and crop financing, cattle fattening and other financial products offered by Brazilian entities. Most of these investments were conducted by sovereign funds in publiclytraded companies or through other commodities specialized funds. One of these funds was launched by Banco do Brasil, the largest bank in Latin America by assets, and it focuses on shares of Brazilian commodity, energy, mining, oil and gas companies.
Although several financial operations could be reported, there were three Shariah compliant funds that captained investments in Brazil: SALIC (Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Company), a sovereign fund owned by the Saudi Arabian government; Mubadala Investment Company, another sovereign fund, owned by the Abu Dhabi government in the UAE; and the Rasmalla group, which was originally incorporated to serve GCC investors.
SALIC currently owns 21.4% of Minerva Foods, one of the leading exponents of cattle fattening and meat processing in Brazil, which owns assets valuated at BRL11 billion (US$2.8 billion) by B3 (the Brazilian Stock Exchange3). There were some rumors, in the beginning of this second semester, about the possibility of SALIC acquiring the entirety of shares available, converting Minerva into a closed company, but, at the time of writing this article, this transaction was not confirmed.
In the past few years, Mubadala has invested in infrastructure, commodities and renewable energy assets available in Brazil. One of its main investments was made through a joint venture entered into by Mubadala and the Impala Company (a subsidiary of the Trafigura Group), which holds the share equity control of Porto Sudeste, a maritime terminal focused on iron ore exporting. According to Eugenio Mamede, CEO of Porto Sudeste, the guidance and financial support of Mubadala has been crucial to the establishment of Porto Sudeste in Brazil and the realization of its mission to support Brazil's iron ore mining sector. According to his projections, the investments provided by the controlling joint venture will allow Porto Sudeste to double its capacity (from the current 50 million tons of ore per year to 100 million tons) and expand into handling different products.
Mudabala Group also joined Snam SpA and EIG Global Energy Partners to place an US$8 billion bid for a pipeline owned by a branch of Petrobrás named Transportadora Associada de Gás, which operates about 2,750 miles of gas pipelines in the lessdeveloped north and northeast regions of Brazil. The pipeline sales negotiations are currently suspended, but are expected to resume in the next year.
Rasmala Group, which describes itself as a leading alternative investment group, located in the UK, recently reported its participation in a short-term financing facility for a listed Brazilian agribusiness to fund the purchase of agricultural inputs secured against a crop, which has been pre-sold to a US$40 billion-plus global agribusiness and food company.
All these transactions show that Shariah compliant funds and MENA region sovereign funds are very interested in investment opportunities in Brazilian assets, especially those related to commodities and infrastructure related to these products. Nevertheless, although numbers provided are impressive, in billions of dollars, Islamic investments are still very incipient in comparison to other foreign investments.
One of the main difficulties hampering the full development of Islamic finance in Brazil is that the banking and insurance industries regulations contain several dispositions that may restrain the operationalization of a Shariah compliant contract.
For instance, a bank cannot acquire and/or sell goods in general as part of its corporate purpose. This would be a direct impediment to a Murabahah contract of sale, in which the bank acquires goods for the client and then sets the cost and profit margin of the said goods in the contract, without Riba. A Brazilian bank would not be allowed to buy a certain good abroad (an equipment, for example) and sell it to its client (the final purchaser) with an agreed profit. Banking laws and regulations should be modified to fully accommodate Shariah compliant agreements.
Considering that it would be necessary to have several amendments made to our banking and insurance legislation, Brazil should include Islamic finance in the political and economic agenda. However, there are some measures that can already be taken to incentivize the introduction of Islamic finance in Brazil. One of them is reducing the number of restrictions imposed on foreign banks while carrying out activities in Brazil through branches or subsidiaries or authorizing Brazilian investment banks to offer Shariah compliant investments in their portfolio, through its foreign branches, backed by Brazilian assets.
Being among the 10 largest world economies, Brazil, despite its current economic issues, is and will remain a very attractive market to foreign investors in general. Such investors could come for Islamic finance products, but in certain cases, amendments to Brazilian laws and regulations would have to be made. In consideration of Brazil's strong position as a leader in commodities exportation, we can expect to see in the coming years an exponential growth in Shariah compliant funding in agribusiness, which is expected to lead to an increase in general Shariah compliant assets offered in Brazil.

CHARLOTTE, USA – NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Saturday, February 17, he is open to talks with union leaders and rule changes to better handle situations like Anthony Davis' public demand for a trade.
The situation has become an ongoing soap opera for the league since the NBA star revealed last month he wanted a trade but the Pelicans did not make a deal before last week's transfer deadline.
The league fined Davis $50,000 for his agent going public with the demand, hurting the bargaining posture for the Pelicans in whatever deal might get done, and have said the team cannot bench Davis with two months remaining in the campaign.
Speaking on the eve of the 68th NBA All-Star Game in Charlotte, Silver said he was confident league and union officials could sort out a better fix to avoid a repeat of the awkward situation.
Noting the difference between player tampering and trade demands, Silver said he feels the league has so far done what it can to combat both, having fined club executives whose praise of rival talent might be seen as crossing into enticement.
The notion of keeping trade demands private, however, has not always happened.
Silver noted that 40 percent of players will be free agents after this season.
"That player movement can be positive for a lot of teams," Silver said.
Past issues of small-market teams having less to spend than teams from larger cities have given way to clubs being more willing to pour money into being contenders no matter the size of the area, Silver noting poor runs by New York, Los Angeles and Chicago teams in recent years.
"Often that disparity is not based on the size of the market. It's based on the team willing to become unprofitable," he said.


Back by popular demand, Always…Patsy Cline is based on the true story of Patsy Cline's friendship with Houston housewife Louise Seger.
Having first heard Cline on the "Arthur Godfrey Show" in 1957, Seger became an immediate and avid fan of Cline's and she constantly hounded the local disc jockey to play Cline's records on the radio.
In 1961 when Cline went to Houston for a show, Seger and her buddies arrived about an hour-and-a-half early and, by coincidence, met Cline who was traveling alone. The two women struck up a friendship that was to culminate in Cline spending the night at Seger's house–a friendship that lasted until Cline's untimely death in a plane crash in 1963.
The play focuses on the fateful evening at Houston's Esquire Ballroom when Seger meets Cline in person and later hears of Cline's death in a plane crash. Seger supplies a narrative while Cline floats in and out of the set singing tunes that made her famous–Anytime, Walkin' After Midnight, She's Got You, Sweet Dreams, and Crazy–to name a few.

For his Warcraft III statistics, see Anetheron (Warcraft III). For information on how to defeat him in World of Warcraft, see Anetheron (tactics).
Anetheron is a nathrezim best known for his participation during the Battle of Mount Hyjal.
Anetheron waited in the Twisting Nether, acting as emissary of Archimonde to Tichondrius. He was one of the dreadlords assigned to watch over the Lich King, and grew agitated when they began to suspect the Lich King of treachery and possibly becoming a threat to the Burning Legion. But Tichondrius was confident that, despite his obvious ulterior motives, the Lich King was still providing the tools they needed to make way for the invasion. In a meeting in the Twisting Nether, Tichondrius assured Anetheron that everything was still well in his control.
When Archimonde came to the world, Anetheron went with him, and served as a personal guardsman. Anetheron showed his tenacity when he led the Scourge against the Sentinels, Alliance, and Horde in the final, climactic Battle of Mount Hyjal. He invaded the Great Alliance's base several times during the battle, calling infernals to serve him, with the objective of defeating the resistance so that Archimonde could ascend to crush the World Tree. However, Anetheron was killed either during or after the battle.

Adventurers of the Horde and Alliance entered a time pocket of the Battle for Mount Hyjal. This time, however, Anetheron didn't fight throughout the entire battle, but he was defeated by Jaina Proudmoore, adventurers and troops of the Third War in the human base.

His location following this is unclear.

Anetheron: Is everything proceeding as planned, Tichondrius? Lord Archimonde demands a report on the Scourge.
Tichondrius: The Lich King's young death knight has been performing well... almost too well. I begin to wonder if Ner'zhul has ulterior motives for his new... champion.
Mephistroth: The human means nothing in the long run. Ner'zhul wouldn't dare undermine our efforts now.
Anetheron: Our only concern is that the Scourge accomplishes what it was created to do. Archimonde will have all our heads if we do not keep control of this situation!
Anetheron: See that they do not. Lord Archimonde has little patience for failure.

Summer 2017 has offered an impressive array of art festivals around the world. Although several of 2017's best art festivals have come and gone, two promising festivals have yet to take place. One of these art festivals will pop up near Chicago, and the other in New York City. Read on to discover the details of two art festivals happening in August 2017 that you won't want to miss.
Have you ever visited Chicago? If not, you must. The city is alive with art everyone should see in his or her lifetime. Plan your visit for the first week of August, because that's when Art at the Glen is taking place. Admur Productions wrote, "Rated as one of the top 30 shows in the United States by Sunshine Artist Magazine, Art at the Glen will line the streets showcasing the work of 185-juried artists from across the country in a variety of mediums, including paintings, photography, ceramics, furniture and jewelry. In addition to supporting the arts and viewing incredible artwork available for purchase, festival guests will be able to have one-on-one conversations with artists through booth chats. Kids can enjoy a special area designated just for them with interactive games and activities, including art scavenger hunts throughout the weekend." The art festival is planned for 10am-5pm on both Saturday and Sunday. This video will tell you everything you need to know about this must-attend art festival near Chicago.
One of the most iconic art festivals in the world is Shakespeare in the Park, created by Joseph Papp in 1962. The best thing about this festival is that it offers excellent productions of Shakespeare's plays featuring some of the biggest names in show business. "Past casts have included including Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Al Pacino, Blythe Danner, Philip Seymour Hoffman, George C. Scott and Denzel Washington," stated The Complete Guide to Shakespeare in the Park in NYC. Julius Caesar ended on June 18th, but A Midsummer Night's Dream is playing through August 13th, and will be directed by Lear deBessonet. Find out how to get your tickets here (they are free).

Church of the Three Crosses (; also known as Vuoksenniska Church) is a Lutheran church located in Kaukopää, Imatra, Finland. The church was designed by Alvar Aalto and completed in 1958. It is said to be Aalto's most original church design. The church gets its name from the three crosses at the altar.

The church consists of three consecutive halls which can be separated by sliding walls; this enables parts of the church to be used for parish activities during the week. The exterior of the church is white with a copper roofing.

Docomomo has listed the church as a significant example of modern architecture in Finland. The Finnish Heritage Agency has also listed it as a nationally significant built heritage site. A committee designated by the Finnish Heritage Agency in 1998 to commemorate the centenary of Aalto's birth selected the church as one of the five most important buildings designed by Aalto.

The mayor and council elected on October 22nd will have the opportunity to set Winnipeg on the path to sustainability by passing the pedestrian and cycling strategies that have been under development for the past 18 months, and by providing the resources over the next 20 years to ensure that the plan is implemented in a timely manner.
Develop an Education/Promotion Program reaching out to all areas of the city.
An annual green dividend of $7 million generated from reduced transportation costs.
These are achievable goals, and a price tag of $150 million over 6 years is not at all out of line with the cost of other major projects within the city budget. Unlike the mainly localized benefits associated with most major capital projects, the nature & affordability of pedestrian and bicycle oriented projects mean that the benefits this package of infrastructure improvements will be distributed throughout the city.
The projects detailed below will produce the connectivity and desirability in our pedestrian and bicycle networks needed to achieve the 3% modal shift needed to realize the benefits listed above.

Storytelling comes in many shapes and forms. When you hear the word storytelling you may first think of an author and a book. But storytelling can be told with photos, audio, video and more. I am a visual storyteller and choose to use audio and video to help illustrate my stories.
You can manipulate your story by using a variety of storytelling techniques. There is more to a story than just holding a camera and shooting video. I will touch on three ways you can change the feel of your story by using three principals; lighting, audio, and color. There are more than three, but these are the ones I feel are most important when you tell a story through the lens of a motion picture.
Lighting is crucial. If you have ever watched a home video more than likely the last thing that was considered was how the shot was lit. At times, you will find a person standing right in front of the sun or a bright window and you can't even see them. The person's face is dark but the background is bright. This is what is referred to as silhouette lighting. You really should not use it unless for effect. You may have seen this lighting in movies or television shows when the person on camera wants to conceal their identity. It's a great tool when used in the right circumstances.
If your story has a dramatic theme to it, you may want to shoot your subjects in the same manner. You wouldn't want to light them completely because that defeats the whole purpose of the dramatic mood and setting. For instance, when you watch a comedy or game show, the sets and people are completely lit. There is no drama to comedy, thus they light it with full lighting. Schindler's List did a great job of lighting. The movie is dramatic and you can tell by the lighting. People's faces where not completely lit. For the most part, you can tell if a movie is a comedy or a drama simply by looking at the lighting. If you're telling a story about success you would want to use full lighting on your subject. There wouldn't be any reason to make it dramatic, you are telling a story about celebration so there would be no need for dramatic lighting for this situation.
Now there is a difference between lights and how they project light. Led lights are very popular because they run off batteries and do not consume much energy. They transmit a very soft light which can be very pleasing. Led lights are great for quick setups. I tend to use led lights when I am on the move and must go go go. I personally like the tungsten lights though. They get hot, you must plug them in but they get the job done when you need to light a large area. What I like about tungsten lights is that they are a hard-light source. When I say, they are a hard-light source I mean that the light that comes out of them cast a strong shadow on whatever it lights. Soft lights do not show much shadow and the roll off of the shadow is gradual. With hard lights, the shadow is abrupt. You can use hard lights to create patterns on the wall if you are shooting an interview. So instead of a boring white wall in the background you can place a cookie in front of a hard light and it will display shapes on the wall. You will see this if you watch 20/20, 60 minutes etc. It's a great way to create a what would be a boring background into something visually appealing. Hard-lights can be made soft by using a soft box or diffusion. Soft lights cannot become hard.
Color has a huge impact on storytelling. Have you ever seen a movie that has cold tones to it? One movie that comes to mind is the Sixth Sense. This movie dealt with death and blue cold tones worked great for this mood. Warm tones like what you see in movies like the Transformers can convey action. It all depends on what you want to convey with your film/story. That is what is so cool about storytelling…. its subjective. If you wanted to shoot a scene in the middle of the day, but wanted it to look like early morning you could grade the color to a blue tone, or shoot the entire scene at a low color temperature such as at 2800 kelvin. I would recommend shooting the scene with the correct white balance and then color grade the footage in your editing system. If you did shoot the early morning scene at midday and you used a cool color temperature you are stuck with it. Whatever the camera captured is baked into the video. You can try to color correct the footage, but you can only color correct so much. If the color is drastically off you are out of luck, unless you shot the footage in raw or in log.
Color correction and color grading are two different animals. Color correction is when you correct the color of your footage to best represent the scene you shot. Many times, people color correct their mistakes and then color grade. Color grading allows you to set the mood. You could make the scene very cold by adding a bit of blue to the darks and to the highlights. If you are grading a wedding film, you wouldn't necessarily use a cold look but rather a warm tone. Remember it is to taste and it's subjective. I usually make my wedding films full vibrant colors and make sure they are warmer than cooler.
Audio can really change the mood of a story. Using royalty licensed music is the way to go. There are plenty of online websites that allow filmmakers to buy music to use in their films. I tend to use www.premiumbeat.com for my nonprofit and corporate videos and I use the www.themusicbed.com for weddings. The music bed has some great cinematic music with and without lyrics. When you select your piece of music, please keep in mind what your story is about. You wouldn't want to use music that is electronic and very upbeat for a wedding, or at least I wouldn't. You also wouldn't want to use a rap song for a corporate video, unless it was requested by the client or the video was regarding hip hop.
Depending on how you want to edit and what shots you have will also dictate the style of music you choose. When I use my glidecam I can get some smooth sweeping shots. When you accompany those glidecam shots with music that represents a cinematic flow you have gold. You want the shots to go well with the music as much as possible. They are meant to complement one another, not fight each other. I usually have an idea of the piece of music I want to use before I shoot and usually buy it once I have edited the story. This way you do not have to be stuck with music that will not fit your vision. But it is always a good idea to have an idea of how you are going to shoot, edit the video. You can accomplish much more with an idea than nothing at all. Sometimes your original game plan of shots goes out the door and you need a plan b, so be patient and keep an open mind.
Have fun shooting your story and learn from your mistakes. Each day behind the camera is another opportunity for you to grow as a storyteller.

The Rio Grande Valley Vipers are an American professional basketball team of the NBA G League. They play their home games at the Bert Ogden Arena in Edinburg, Texas. With three D-League titles in 2010, 2013, and 2019, the Vipers are the most successful team in the league.
The Vipers entered a single-partnership affiliation agreement with the Houston Rockets during the 2009–10 season. Previously, they were also affiliated with the Cleveland Cavaliers for 2007–08 and the New Orleans Hornets from 2007 to 2009.
After the finish of the 2006–07 season, the D-League announced an expansion to Hidalgo, Texas, with the team name "Rio Grande Valley Vipers". In their debut season, 2007–08, they finished with a 21–29 record, failing to qualify for the playoffs. In 2008–09, they finished with the same record, failing to advance to the playoffs for the second year in a row.
In 2009, the Vipers and the Houston Rockets entered into a single affiliation partnership in which the Rockets controlled the Vipers' basketball operations while the franchise remains under local ownership] by Alonzo Cantu. The result paid immediate dividends in the 2009–10 season, as the Vipers enjoyed their most successful season. Led by league MVP Mike Harris, and coach of the year Chris Finch, the Vipers went 34–16, tops in the Western Conference, and earned the franchise's first playoff berth. In the playoffs, the Vipers beat both Reno and Austin in 3 games, and swept Tulsa in the Finals to earn the franchise's first championship.
In 2013, the Vipers won their second title over the Santa Cruz Warriors. Andrew Goudelock won the NBA Development League Most Valuable Player Award and got called up by the Los Angeles Lakers.
In November 2013, the Vipers announced Gianluca Pascucci as the general manager and Nevada Smith as the head coach.
On February 26, 2015, the Vipers broke ground on a new arena in Edinburg called Bert Ogden Arena and was originally scheduled for completion in October 2016. The arena was reportedly initially designed to house 8,500 seats, along with being a venue used for entertainment. The Vipers is the main tenant and operator (while the City of Edinburg will own the arena), and there will be a 40-by-20 foot jumbotron, the largest in the league. The arena was funded by sales taxes and cost an estimated $68 million, with nearly half being funded privately. After a few delays, the new arena was announced to have a grand opening in June 2018, with the Vipers beginning play in the arena for the 2018–19 season, and an estimated end cost of $88 million.
On August 18, 2015, the Vipers named Matt Brase their new head coach.
On April 12, 2019, the Vipers won their third championship in a 129–112 game three win against the Long Island Nets.

A beautiful Parchis game from Spanish manufacturer, Cayro.

This stunning version of the game comprises a contemporary-styled board with a sleek, laminated, gloss finish and a felted underside. The playing pieces are stained wooden squares and four stylish rectangular dice shakers are also included, along with four dice - one in each colour. The objective of the game, like Ludo, is to race all your pawns around the board to the finishing area. The first to successfully move all four pawns around the board is the winner. However, there are a few rules that can be incorporated that make the game more strategic and complex; for example, blockades can be made by two pawns - but only in 'safe squares', and pawns can 'eat' each other if they land on a square that is already occupied. The 'eaten' pawn is then sent back to the start. These additional rules add more strategy to the game and mean that is is not entirely dependent on the roll of dice and luck.

Katherine Jenkins (born 29 June 1980) is a highly acclaimed Welsh mezzo-soprano, a classical-popular crossover singer who has gained an international reputation from her live and recorded performances across a spectrum of operatic arias, popular songs, musical comedy and hymns. In 2004, at the age of 23, she signed the largest record deal in United Kingdom classical recording history, with an undisclosed seven-figure deal.
Jenkins was born in Neath, Wales, where she and her sister Laura were raised by their parents Selwyn John (1924–1995) and Susan. She has twin half-sisters from her father's first marriage, neither of whom she has met.
Six out of seven of Jenkins's studio albums reached number one in the classical charts between 2004 and 2008, selling a total of more than 4 million copies. After her first album, Premiere, made her the fastest-selling mezzo-soprano to date she became the first British classical crossover artist to have two number one albums in the same year. She is also the first female artist to win two consecutive Classical BRIT Awards: her second album, Second Nature, reached number 16 in the UK pop charts and was Album of the Year in the 2005 BRIT Awards.
On Sunday 25th November 2007, Katherine Jenkins' new album 'Rejoice' entered the 'Official UK Album Chart' at number 3. Katherine beat off stiff competition from the likes of Girls Aloud, Led Zeppelin, Spice Girls, Take That and Celine Dion.

Maryland International Raceway, IHRA Reach Sanctioning Agreement
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Maryland International Raceway, one of the premier drag racing facilities in the country, has renewed its sanctioning agreement with the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA).
The Mechanicsville, Md., facility was opened by Joe LaRoque in 1966. Current owner Royce Miller first leased the facility in 1989 and purchased the track in 1998.
The largest motorsports facility in Maryland, it seats over 11,000 fans and hosts such events as the IHRA Sportsman Spectacular presented by Hagerty and Moser Engineering and the IHRA Division 1 (Patriots) Summit Team Finals.
The 2022 schedule features over 100 events, including some of the most prestigious drag racing competitions on the East Coast. There is something for everyone with bracket racing, grudge racing, Pro Mods, Jet Car shows, motorcycle racing, brand-specific gatherings and swap meets.
Maryland International Raceway has thrived in the IHRA Summit SuperSeries program, winning three straight IHRA Summit Team Finals from 2016-18. In addition, Maryland's No. 1 and No. 2 teams took the top two spots at the 2021 IHRA Division 1 Summit Team Finals.
Jason Kirby (Top), Kevin Yates (Mod) and Hunter Groat (Junior Dragster) were Maryland representatives at the 2021 IHRA World Finals. They continued a long tradition of accomplished Maryland racers like Tom Cable, the first ever IHRA Summit SuperSeries Top champion in 2003.
One reason so many great racers have called Maryland International Raceway home is Miller's commitment to a fair and safe environment for the weekly racers. It includes a solid track surface and consistent payouts.
"Maryland has a very diverse offering of events but it has always had sportsman racing as its core," IHRA Vice President Skooter Peaco said. "Maryland is one of the tracks that I always enjoyed doing IHRA National events at because the fans in the stands were just as excited by the sportsman action as they were whatever professional classes we were running that season. Royce Miller was a sportsman racer before owning Maryland and he has never forgotten his roots when it comes to his events."
In addition to its strong IHRA Summit SuperSeries program, Maryland International Raceway is home to some of the largest motorcycle drag racing events in the country.
This includes four action-packed weekends in 2022 for the Xtreme Dragbike Association. The event features 230 mph Pro Street bikes rocketing down the quarter-mile along with the best sportsman motorcycle races.
Many records have been set at the 1/4-mile track as Miller explained the track is close to sea level, surrounded by trees and close to water which are sources of oxygen that produce more horsepower.
This new agreement between Maryland International Raceway and the IHRA continues a successful partnership which dates back to 1992.

Faces of the "Biomass: Fuel & Power - 2018"
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law regulating the production and trade of fuel ethanol. The regulation had already been adopted by the State Duma on November 13, 2018 and approved by the Federation Council on November 23.
While agriculture still tries to digest the roller-coaster news out of Washington D.C. from 2018, analysts are already focused on the dynamics of the new year. Clinton Griffiths sat down with Tommy Grisafi of Advance Trading and John Payne, publisher of "This Week in Grain" to discuss 2019 market movers.
Pyrolysis - a process of biomass decomposition - can be organized automatically for heat generation out of the most common type of biomass such as peat and straw. That is, it is sufficient to heat biomass to a certain temperature and then the process proceeds in the autothermal mode due to its own heat release. This technology was studied by scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University in the article published in the Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry.


Welcome to New Lower Sales Letter Prices!
Plus: Our Sales Letters are now available individually.
and individually for the first time ever!
This is our beta test page – please let us know what you think!
All 26 Letters… New Low Price: Just $195.
This offer includes our complete package of all 26 Insurance Sales Letters.
Letters for each and every market. The complete set, new low price.
Increase your phone calls: get our complete set of Sales Letters: Just $195!
Purchase directly through PayPal (with ANY credit card). Buy Now!
Why are there 26 letters and what is a Market?
What exactly do we mean when we say different letters perform better in certain market segments?
Each of our letters is written to address different segments of the insurance and financial fields.
It's best explained by example: The #1 top sales letter we offer is our "Trigger Point" letter.
It's mailed to people whose lives are at a point of change.
A major change in a person's life is one of the best times to send them new offers. Like having buying a new house. Potential customers are more willing to try something new, and the new challenges in their life usually come with a mandatory purchase of new insurance.
Face it: most everyone already has insurance.
You need to shake potential clients up and MAKE them buy from you.
An excellent time to do this is a point of major change in their life, where people are more receptive to change.
For example: One of the trigger points is "New Baby." Certainly a time of big change in a person's life.
The letter shows why a change in their insurance is most necessary at this point in time, and to call you for information and a free quote.
Our "Trigger Point" letter addresses the new insurance needs of parents with new children.
Another trigger point in our "Trigger Point" letter is for new home buyers. Buying a new home is definitely a trigger with the necessity of buying home owner's insurance. Because… no insurance, no mortgage.
Our "Trigger Point!" letter addresses these points of change in a person's life.
In the same way, our "Ex-date Letter" is pretty famous in the insurance community.
This letter is mailed about a month before the home-owner policy expires. It's impossible to get a mortgage – or keep a mortgage – for a house without insurance. The date a person bought a house (a matter of public record) is the date they purchased insurance, and sure enough their insurance renews on that date every succeeding year. Our Insurances Sales Letters full package includes our own highly responsive version of an "Ex-date" letter.
This is what we mean by "target marketing" using our letters. You can select the markets you are most comfortable with, find and buy the right mailing list for that market, and mail our targeted sales letters — for the greatest response.
Each of our letters is written to be most effective to "a specific targeted mailing list" to maximize the return and number of phone calls.
That's why we have 26 letters in our full mailing package – for maximum response to each specific target market where you sell insurance or provide financial services. The market you are selling to is defined by your mailing list.
Will our letters work well without a specific trigger?
Reports we receive from the field say these are the Top 5 highest-response letters.
Not quite ready to order the full set of all 26 letters?

These Top 5 Letters have the highest response to the broadest of markets.

What happens when something from your family's distant past comes to light - introducing a new generation to a secret.
Will it change your life? Will people treat you differently? Is there a way to finally find out the truth? How can God use this to impact your world?
Those are just a few things that run through Charlotte Stevensons' mind the past is brought to light while she helps clean the basement of the Bedford Community Church.
As the women pour through things left in the basement, the tattered and yellowed newspaper article - published more than a century ago - appears. It implicates Charlotte's great-great-grandfather in the loss of funds intended to help finish building the church.
How would you handle this happening in your world?
Tricia Goyer has crafted a book centering around a secret - that comes to light in an unexpected way.
In her efforts, she has created a realistic conflict, that women can relate to.
Oh, "normal" secrets may not be found in a tattered newspaper clipping, but secrets - regardless of a subject - tend to find a way out of the darkness into the light.
Through the struggles of the Stevenson family, Goyer shows how secrets - past or present - can impact a family.
This is the second book I've read in the Home To Heather Creek Series. Since reading the first book, I've passed it along to several women in my church. At least one has said it was a simple, but nice read.
Think of reading this book like you are "drinking" a cup of chicken soup. Drink in the simplicity of the story and find how God works in our lives, sometimes in the small, simple ways.
Charlotte has heard stories about the incident through the years, but now it seems the past has come back to haunt her. Is it just her imagination or are people treating her differently now that they think she's descended from a crook? Will Charlotte be able to clear her family's name once and for all?
Meanwhile, Sam is spending time with a new girl in town-and is keeping secrets from his grandparents about where they go. Christopher is trying to get an article published in the local paper, and Emily reluctantly partners with a foreign exchange student on a class project and eventually comes to see that they're not that different after all.
As old secrets are brought to light, the whole family is reminded that the truth is often more complicated than it seems.
Come home to Heather Creek. Get to know Charlotte Stevenson, who is raising her grandchildren on the family farm after a tragic accident changes all of their lives forever.
With the help of her husband Bob and a close-knit circle of friends, she will do whatever it takes to keep this fragile family together. See how God, who makes the sun rise and the crops grow, watches over our lives too.
Charlotte Stevenson's world is turned upside down when her daughter, Denise, dies in a tragic car accident.
Denise ran away at eighteen and Charlotte has never forgiven herself. Now, Denise's children, abandoned by their father, are coming from California to live on Heather Creek Farm in Bedford, Nebraska.
Note: The Home To Heather Creek Series is a multi-author series.Goyer's first book in the series was Sweet September (book two) followed by Every Sunrise (book seven) last spring and Sunflower Serenade this summer. All Things Hidden is book 18 in the continuing story of the Stephensen family!

Q: If for every prime $p$, $a\bmod p\leq b\bmod p$, where nonnegative residues are considered, then show that $a=b$.
Source: here.

Suppose $a$ and $b$ are positive integers so that for every prime $p$, $a\bmod p\leq b\bmod p$, where nonnegative residues are considered. Show that $a=b$.

Note that the question is trivial if $a\bmod p = b\bmod p$ for all primes $p$.
Clearly $a\leq b$; if not then for any prime $p > a,b$, $a\bmod p > b\bmod p$. It's clear that it suffices to consider primes $p\leq b$, but one can probably strengthen this inequality (e.g. $p\leq a$). As a particular example, consider $a=3, b=5.$ Then $a\bmod 5 > b\bmod 5$ and $5$ is the only prime p where the inequality $a\bmod p\leq b\bmod p$ fails. For $a=4,b=6, a\bmod 3 > b\bmod 3.$ Let $e_p(n)$ denote the highest exponent of $p$ dividing $n$ when $p$ is prime and $n$ is a positive integer. The hint said to show that for every prime $p\leq a$, $e_p({b\choose a}) \leq m(p)-1$, where $$m(p) = e_p(\mathrm{lcm}(b,b-1,\cdots, b-a+1)) = \max\{e_p(b),e_p(b-1),\cdots, e_p(b-a+1)\}.$$ We have by Legendre's formula that $$e_p({b\choose a}) = e_p(b!)-e_p((b-a)!) - e_p(a!) = \sum_{i\ge 1} \left\lfloor \frac{b}{p^i}\right\rfloor - \left\lfloor\frac{b-a}{p^i} \right\rfloor - \left\lfloor\frac{a}{p^i}\right\rfloor.$$ But I'm not sure how to proceed from here. I know that $e_p(a-b) = \min\{e_p(a),e_p(b)\}$ whenever $e_p(a)\neq e_p(b).$ We then need to show $b\ge 2a$ and that ${b\choose a}$ is too big.


Garlic Lovers Dill Pickle Pizza is loaded with fresh garlic, dill pickles and cheese. So simple, yet the perfect match for pizza. Vegetarian and Gluten Free.
So today I wanted to share with you something Really really easy to prepare and now one of my new favorite pizza combinations.
If you've been following my blog a while you probably already know I love pizza.<—Well food in general but for an easy tasty dinner it's Pizza hands down⇓.
Hence I set out to make as many flavorful combinations as possible to share with you.
And since pickles and cheese just happen to be two of my favorite foods…major brainstorm…Why not top on a pizza??
This one is for all my pickle and cheese lover friends..my daughter Samantha 😉 …adopted daughter Kelly.
I can so remember many a days I would reach in the fridge for some cheese and they'd ask if I had any pickles.
This is something I grew up eating so much that pretty soon I just became associated with pickles and cheese. Not really a bad thing at all.
Guess it really isn't too odd of a combination if that many people like it.
Especially now that we're approaching the Holiday season there are going be those days when you need a few time savers.
Garlic Lovers Dill Pickle Pizza is loaded with lots of garlic and dill pickles for the perfect easy pizza for any night of the week.
Place finely chopped garlic in small bowl with olive oil.
Brush garlic olive oil over pizza crust.
Top with cheese and bake 15 minutes.
Remove from oven add pickle slices and cook a couple more minutes.

At the start of the season, Newcastle's goal difference could've taken a serious battering.
The Magpies had tough games against Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal. Not long after their rough run, they headed to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United.
While Newcastle lost those five games, they were never battered. They lost each game by a margin of one goal, which is something that their relegation rivals have been unable to do.
Newcastle's start to the campaign wasn't pretty.
The more optimistic fans noted that for all the defeats, our goal difference was still fairly decent. While others pointed out that goal difference means nothing if you can't win a game.
We got that first win against Watford, and it immediately showed what a difference a strong goal difference can make.
On Monday evening, Huddersfield beat Fulham 1-0 to get their first three points, but their goal difference of -16 keeps them in the bottom three below Newcastle.
The only time Newcastle have lost by more than one goal was against Leicester, while the likes of Fulham, Southampton, Cardiff and the aforementioned Terriers have been on the end of some hidings.
Just last weekend, Southampton were smashed 6-1 by Pep Guardiola's Premier League champions.
Since Benitez took over as Newcastle boss, his team have rarely been battered. It's this kind of resiliency that will always give the Magpies an edge in the relegation battle.
Only 11 games have been played and goal difference is already keeping Newcastle out of the bottom three. While other teams roll over and take a spanking off the Premier League's elite, Benitez's side make it a gritty battle.
It might not be pretty, and it might anger the pundits, but Newcastle's defensive approach against the big boys is already proving to be successful.


What Are the Issues & What Are the Practices?
The past two decades have witnessed both tremendous change and tremendous growth in the financial sector in countries across the globe. At the same time, however, many countries in the world have experienced banking crises, sometimes leading to costly bank failures and overall disruption in economic activity. The changes in the banking landscape and banking crises have focused policy makers' and industry participants' attention on the appropriate role and structure of banking supervision and regulation. As countries make different choices in these regards, it is useful to inquire if there are fundamental principles countries can follow to insure financial system stability and growth. This book does not presume to outline such principles, but it does take two necessary steps in that direction: first, it identifies basic issues in banking regulation and supervision; and second, it presents information on how countries around the globe have addressed these issues in their bank regulatory and supervisory schemes. The study draws on recent research and detailed cross-country data, including data from a new World Bank survey of bank regulation and supervision world-wide, to focus on some of the underlying reasons for and implications of developments in a variety of areas. These include the following: the nature and changing role of banks in promoting economic growth, development and stability; restrictions on the scope of banking activities and allowable ownership arrangements in which to conduct them; the structure and scope of bank regulatory and supervisory schemes; supervisory practices to promote safe and sound banks; market discipline and corporate governance in banking; international co-operation in regulation and supervision; offshore banking; potential disputes in banking arising from World Trade Organization membership; and deposit insurance schemes.


Green, OH – The City of Green received notice from Simple Recycling, a curbside household and textile recycling program, that they will discontinue service in Green, effective Dec. 7. The final pick-up begins the week of December 3 – 7.
The program, offered free to the City and all its residents, offered curbside pickup of household items, clothing and textiles that otherwise would have been sent to the landfill. The program began in 2015 in the City of Green collecting nearly 5000 pounds of recycled materials since the beginning of the program. Recently Simple Recycling also ended service in the City of Akron.
The City encourages residents to recycle usable household items and clothing by donating them to local charities. Regular curbside recycling in the City of Green, provided by the Kimble Companies, is not impacted by this change.

The Lady with the Dog
IT was said that a new person had appeared on the sea-front: a lady with a little dog. Dmitri Dmitritch Gurov, who had by then been a fortnight at Yalta, and so was fairly at home there, had begun to take an interest in new arrivals. Sitting in Verney's pavilion, he saw, walking on the sea-front, a fair-haired young lady of medium height, wearing a beret; a white Pomeranian dog was running behind her.
And afterwards he met her in the public gardens and in the square several times a day. She was walking alone, always wearing the same beret, and always with the same white dog; no one knew who she was, and every one called her simply "the lady with the dog."
"If she is here alone without a husband or friends, it wouldn't be amiss to make her acquaintance," Gurov reflected.
He was under forty, but he had a daughter already twelve years old, and two sons at school. He had been married young, when he was a student in his second year, and by now his wife seemed half as old again as he. She was a tall, erect woman with dark eyebrows, staid and dignified, and, as she said of herself, intellectual. She read a great deal, used phonetic spelling, called her husband, not Dmitri, but Dimitri, and he secretly considered her unintelligent, narrow, inelegant, was afraid of her, and did not like to be at home. He had begun being unfaithful to her long ago--had been unfaithful to her often, and, probably on that account, almost always spoke ill of women, and when they were talked about in his presence, used to call them "the lower race."
It seemed to him that he had been so schooled by bitter experience that he might call them what he liked, and yet he could not get on for two days together without "the lower race." In the society of men he was bored and not himself, with them he was cold and uncommunicative; but when he was in the company of women he felt free, and knew what to say to them and how to behave; and he was at ease with them even when he was silent. In his appearance, in his character, in his whole nature, there was something attractive and elusive which allured women and disposed them in his favour; he knew that, and some force seemed to draw him, too, to them.
Experience often repeated, truly bitter experience, had taught him long ago that with decent people, especially Moscow people--always slow to move and irresolute--every intimacy, which at first so agreeably diversifies life and appears a light and charming adventure, inevitably grows into a regular problem of extreme intricacy, and in the long run the situation becomes unbearable. But at every fresh meeting with an interesting woman this experience seemed to slip out of his memory, and he was eager for life, and everything seemed simple and amusing.
One evening he was dining in the gardens, and the lady in the beret came up slowly to take the next table. Her expression, her gait, her dress, and the way she did her hair told him that she was a lady, that she was married, that she was in Yalta for the first time and alone, and that she was dull there. . . . The stories told of the immorality in such places as Yalta are to a great extent untrue; he despised them, and knew that such stories were for the most part made up by persons who would themselves have been glad to sin if they had been able; but when the lady sat down at the next table three paces from him, he remembered these tales of easy conquests, of trips to the mountains, and the tempting thought of a swift, fleeting love affair, a romance with an unknown woman, whose name he did not know, suddenly took possession of him.
He beckoned coaxingly to the Pomeranian, and when the dog came up to him he shook his finger at it. The Pomeranian growled: Gurov shook his finger at it again.
The lady looked at him and at once dropped her eyes.
"He doesn't bite," she said, and blushed.
"May I give him a bone?" he asked; and when she nodded he asked courteously, "Have you been long in Yalta?"
"Five days."
"And I have already dragged out a fortnight here."
There was a brief silence.
"Time goes fast, and yet it is so dull here!" she said, not looking at him.
"That's only the fashion to say it is dull here. A provincial will live in Belyov or Zhidra and not be dull, and when he comes here it's 'Oh, the dulness! Oh, the dust!' One would think he came from Grenada."
She laughed. Then both continued eating in silence, like strangers, but after dinner they walked side by side; and there sprang up between them the light jesting conversation of people who are free and satisfied, to whom it does not matter where they go or what they talk about. They walked and talked of the strange light on the sea: the water was of a soft warm lilac hue, and there was a golden streak from the moon upon it. They talked of how sultry it was after a hot day. Gurov told her that he came from Moscow, that he had taken his degree in Arts, but had a post in a bank; that he had trained as an opera-singer, but had given it up, that he owned two houses in Moscow. . . . And from her he learnt that she had grown up in Petersburg, but had lived in S---- since her marriage two years before, that she was staying another month in Yalta, and that her husband, who needed a holiday too, might perhaps come and fetch her. She was not sure whether her husband had a post in a Crown Department or under the Provincial Council--and was amused by her own ignorance. And Gurov learnt, too, that she was called Anna Sergeyevna.
Afterwards he thought about her in his room at the hotel--thought she would certainly meet him next day; it would be sure to happen. As he got into bed he thought how lately she had been a girl at school, doing lessons like his own daughter; he recalled the diffidence, the angularity, that was still manifest in her laugh and her manner of talking with a stranger. This must have been the first time in her life she had been alone in surroundings in which she was followed, looked at, and spoken to merely from a secret motive which she could hardly fail to guess. He recalled her slender, delicate neck, her lovely grey eyes.
"There's something pathetic about her, anyway," he thought, and fell asleep.
Why are Moscow people included in this description of Gurov's experience?
The use of this word might cause readers to believe that Gurov has formed a negative impression of Anna Sergeyevna. However, Gurov is actually suggesting that despite her youth and laughter, she is somehow unhappy.
The lady's quick reaction to avoid meeting Gurov's gaze gives a very strong initial impression of a woman who is young, relatively innocent, and married. Note how Chekhov continues to use subtle and descriptive techniques to contrast the older and cynical Gurov with the young and innocent lady.
In Russian, and many other Slavic cultures, it is common to address someone by their first name and their patronymic, an equivalent to the American middle name, but derived from the father's first name--in Anna's case, Sergey. Interestingly, she does not tell Gurov her last name, which perhaps has some significance on why she has decided to meet with Gurov even though she is married.
Chekhov's omission of the name of Anna Sergeyevna's hometown is characteristic of Russian censorship. Russian authors had to submit their work to a the censors before it could be published, and often the names of certain towns, officials, or other sensitive matter was redacted.
In this passage, Chekhov tells us more about Gurov's cynical yet complicated nature. While Gurov has learned that problems inevitably result from his affairs, he continues to forget these lessons whenever he meets a new, interesting woman.
Literally translated from the Russian, this means "she never used the 'hard sign' in letters." The hard sign (ъ) is a feature of the Russian alphabet. This was characteristic of a progressive intellectual at the time and anticipated the reform of the Russian alphabet.
At this point, the dog has been referred to as a pet dog, a little dog, and now, simply, the dog. The original Russian uses the word собачка (sobachka), which is a diminutive form of the standard word for dog. The dog's role is the story is limited and primarily serves as a way for Gurov to use it to his own advantage in order to introduce himself to the lady.
This translation is a little misleading since Gurov hasn't met the lady yet. Instead, the original Russian word встречал (vstrechal) has a connotation of encountering someone without actually interacting with them.
At this point, Chekhov gives us special access to Gurov's thoughts, a point of view called limited third person perspective. Since we're only seeing what Gurov thinks, this limits the perspective somewhat. Chekhov continues to narrate from this perspective for most of the story; however, there are moments when he narrates from a fully omniscient perspective, as well as a notable change towards the end when we are able to know what a character besides Gurov is thinking.
Although Chekhov doesn't explicitly state this, the language Gurov uses makes it clear that he not only intends to have an affair with the lady, but he also doesn't consider doing so anything beyond an entertaining diversion from his boredom. This statement presents Gurov as a womanizer who doesn't consider the consequences of his actions.
Chekhov efficiently sets the scene with this opening line by identifying the setting as a seaside resort, implying that the resort is a little boring (since the appearance of a new person is novel), and strongly suggesting that the woman is alone without a human companion. He uses these factors to foreshadow the inevitable meeting between Gurov and the lady with the little dog.

& # 8220 ; All Legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall dwell of a Senate and House of Representatives. & # 8221 ; ( Article I, Section 1, of the United States Constitution )
The main map of Congress is the devising of Torahs. Any Member in the House of Representatives may present a measure at any clip while the House is in session by merely puting it in the & # 8220 ; hopper & # 8221 ; provided for the intent at the side of the Clerk & # 8217 ; s desk in the House Chamber. The patron & # 8217 ; s signature must look on the measure. A public measure may hold an limitless figure of co-sponsoring Members. The measure is assigned its legislative figure by the Clerk and referred to the appropriate commission by the Speaker, with the aid of the Parliamentarian. The measure is so printed in its introduced signifier. An of import stage of the legislative procedure is the action taken by commissions. It is during commission action that the most intense consideration is given to the proposed steps ; this is besides the clip when the people are given their chance to be heard. Each piece of statute law is referred to the commission that has legal power over the country affected by the step. Normally the first measure in this procedure is a public hearing, where the commission members hear informants stand foring assorted point of views on the step. Each commission makes public the day of the month, topographic point and topic of any hearing it conducts. A transcript of the testimony taken at a hearing is made available for review in the commission office, and often the complete transcript is printed and distributed by the commission. After hearings are completed, the measure is considered in a session that is popularly known as the & # 8220 ; mark-up & # 8221 ; session. Members of the commission study the point of views presented in item. Amendments may be offered to the measure, and the commission members vote to accept or reject these alterations. t the decision of deliberation, a ballot of commission or subcommittee Members is taken to find what action to take on the step. It can be reported, with or without amendment, or tabled, which means no farther action on it will happen. If the commission has approved extended amendments, they may make up one's mind to describe a new measure integrating all the amendments. This procedure can take topographic point at either the subcommittee degree or the full commission degree, or at both. t the decision of deliberation, a ballot of commission or subcommittee Members is taken to find what action to take on the step. It can be reported, with or without amendment, or tabled, which means no farther action on it will happen. If the commission has approved extended amendments,
they may decide to report a new bill incorporating all the amendments. This report describes the purpose and scope of the measure and the reasons for recommended approval. Consideration of a measure by the full House can be a simple or very complex operation. In general a measure is ready for consideration by the full House after it has been reported by a committee. Under certain circumstances, it may be brought to the Floor directly. The consideration of a measure may be governed by a "rule." A rule is itself a simple resolution, which must be passed by the House, that sets out the particulars of debate for a specific bill how much time will allowed for debate, whether amendments can be offered, and other matters. Debate time for a measure is normally divided between proponents and opponents. Each side yields time to those Members who wish to speak on the bill. When amendments are offered, these are also debated and voted upon After all debate is concluded and amendments decided upon, the House is ready to vote on final passage. In some cases, a vote to "recommit" the bill to committee is requested. This is usually an effort by opponents to change some portion or table the measure. If the attempt to recommit fails, a vote on final passage is ordered. After a measure passes in the House, it goes to the Senate for consideration. A bill must pass both bodies in the same form before it can be presented to the President for signature into law. If the Senate changes the language of the measure, it must return to the House for concurrence or additional changes. This back-and-forth negotiation may occur on the House floor, with the House accepting or rejecting Senate amendments or complete Senate text. Often a conference committee will be appointed with both House and Senate members. This group will resolve the differences in committee and report the identical measure back to both bodies for a vote. Conference committees also issue reports outlining the final version of the bill. Votes on final passage, as well as all other votes in the House, may be taken by the electronic voting system which registers each individual Member's response. These votes are referred to as Yea/Nay votes or recorded votes, and are available in House Votes by Bill number, roll call vote number or words describing the reason for the vote. Votes in the House may also be by voice vote, and no record of individual responses is available. After a measure has been passed in identical form by both the House and Senate, it is considered "enrolled." It is sent to the President who may sign the measure into law, veto it and return it to Congress, let it become law without signature, or at the end of a session, pocket-veto it.

Watch the First Episode of 'In Transit', Hosted By Dave Holmes
Including, but not limited to: New Orleans dos and don'ts, drinks with Skylar Astin, and airport sushi.
By Brady Langmann
If you're familiar with the very last page of Esquire magazine, you know that it's where our Editorial Board offers up one bright, shining endorsement to leave you with before closing the book. Most recently? Why you should think twice before you drink the flat second half of your beer.
The Best Bars in America 2021
Why Are Our Friends' Clothes So Much Better?
Now, about a year ago—when Esquire's editors were battling out the endorsement for our Summer 2021 issue—our editor-at-large, Dave Holmes, suggested that we write an ode to the airport bar. Not only did the endorsement make the issue ("Stay put and watch your fellow travelers get day drunk," Holmes recommended), but it gave way to the idea for a video series, featuring Holmes as the host: "In Transit." In the show, Holmes meets a celebrity at—you guessed it—an airport bar, where they talk through their travel plans, nightmare airplane stories, and enjoy a cocktail or two. Along the way, he offers up a guide to one Esquire's favorite cities, right down to what and where you'll be drinking.
We'd like to present you with the first episode of "In Transit." We recommend that you go in with a clear slate—you know, mimicking that chance-encounter potential you actually have at any old, actual airport bar. But if you must know, the grand debut of the series sees Holmes have a drink with "When You're Not There" singer Skylar Astin, who tells a couple stories from when he filmed Pitch Perfect in Baton Rouge and gives an update on his music career. From there, Holmes offers up a few hotel, food, and drink recommendations from our nation's great jazz mecca. Astin and Holmes may or may not play a game involving airport sushi. Watch the video streaming above to find out.
