Sales Terms and Conditions for Online Jewellery Store
< Back to E-Commerce
If you are selling jewellery and accessories online, you should have a comprehensive set of Sales Terms and Conditions for your website. These Sales Terms and Conditions form an agreement between your business and the people purchasing your jewellery. You and your contract lawyer should consider including a number of clauses into your terms and conditions that will protect your business. Sales Terms and Conditions typically cover things like the payment process for ordering your products online, the procedure for cancellations, and the availability of products.
What to include in your Sales Terms and Conditions
Two of the most important areas you should cover in your Sales Terms and Conditions are the delivery and shipment of products and returns and refunds. It is important that you and your contract lawyer set out how products can be ordered and paid for, as well as the payment methods you will accept and the process for making changes to your order. Make sure to address how orders can be cancelled and what your business will do if a product is not available or out of stock. It is best practice to explain in the terms and conditions what happens when a customer pays for a product that is not available. For example, the customer can choose a refund, store credit or put their order on backorder. If they choose a refund or store credit, then any delivery costs they paid for the product should be refunded. If they choose to put their order on backorder, you will contact them to arrange for delivery once the product is available.
In addition to ensuring your Sales Terms and Conditions cover the relevant consumer guarantees, it is a good idea to also set out how long it usually takes to ship the jewellery. Try to address what the costs will be for delivery and whether there will be any free shipping available. The customer might also be interested in the different methods for delivery and which locations you will deliver your products to.
The Australian Consumer Law
As mentioned, there should always be a clause in any Sales Terms and Conditions that addresses compliance with the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). This clause should set out that the ACL provides consumers with certain rights and protections and cannot be excluded, restricted or modified by your Sales Terms and Conditions.
For repairs, replacements or refunds, you should require customers to provide you with a proof of purchase. Explain that the product will need to be inspected before you provide a refund, repair or replacement. Also note that returns and exchanges do not have to be given for change of mind. Another important clause that your contract lawyer should consider including is that all exchanges will be for products of equal or lesser value.
Outline that products must be returned in their original condition. This is particularly important when you are selling jewellery, which, when used, can pose a serious health risk to a subsequent purchaser of the same used product. Set out in the Sales Terms and Conditions that you will not accept returns or exchanges for any piercings due to the obvious health risks. Keep in mind that you may be required to provide refunds on these items. It is also important to clarify that all other items, such as bracelets and necklaces, should be returned in their original box and should not be tampered with or adjusted in any way. Customers should return products in a safe manner so that the jewellery does not become damaged while in transit, particularly for fragile goods. Explain whether the customer or your business will pay for items being returned.
A comprehensive Sales Terms and Conditions that complies with Australian Consumer Law can reduce encountering legal issues with customers in the future. At LegalVision, we provide our clients with a variety of other agreements, many of which you may need for your jewellery store, including a Privacy Policy and Website Terms of Use. So if you're in need of legal advice, contact LegalVision on 1300 544 755 and speak with one of our experienced online solicitors today.

Showing up to a potluck or a party with a fresh-baked cake makes you a very popular person! Enjoy the fete without having to worry about bringing the cake carrier home—opt for a disposable aluminum foil pan. This convenient container also makes cleanup easier when hosting a child's birthday party.
The curved corners on a square or rectangular aluminum foil pan present the most significant difference from a standard glass or metal baking pan. This shape may alter how you want to decorate the cake.
Preheat the oven to the temperature given in the recipe, based on the size pan you're using.
Apply a coat of butter to the interior surface of the pan, paying extra attention to the corners, where aluminum pans tend to have the most creases and folds. Apply extra butter to the corners so that the cake can be removed easily. You may use cooking spray in place of butter, if you prefer.
Sprinkle 2 or 3 tablespoons flour into the pan. Turn the pan to its sides at different angles to move the flour until it adheres to the butter all over. The butter and flour should coat all parts of the pan that the batter touches.
Bake the cake according to the directions in the recipe. Check the cake during the last 10 minutes of prescribed baking time by inserting a toothpick into the center. When the toothpick comes out without wet batter on it, take the cake out of the oven.
Run a knife around the edge of the pan. Turn the pan upside down to remove the cake. If the cake sticks in the pan, you can cut the pan with kitchen shears to get the cake out—cut each corner of the pan and fold down the sides.


We will now walk you through adding a new game to My NaClbox. For this example, we will discuss installing a game that you have purchased online. Good Old Games (gog.com) has many DOS games for sale on their site. Many of these games will run on My NaclBox.
How to purchase and install Wing Commander on My NaClbox.
Good Old Games has the Wing Commander series for sale without any DRM on their website for just a few bucks per game. It really is a steal for one of the games that started the PC gaming revolution. Wing Commander probably singlehandedly sold more 386(sx) processors and 1 meg memory sticks (you needed a few) than anything else at the time.
No really, if you don't have it, go buy it.
Run the setup program provided and install Wing Commander on your machine using the instructions provided by gog.com.
Add a New Application in My NaClBox.
Now, login to My NaClbox and create a new Application. Call it Wing Commander and click the create button. You will now see the application information page with no files listed.
We will now pop up a java applet (sorry, until Chrome supports a richer file upload mechanism, we're going to need to resort to Java Applets) that will allow you to navigate to the folder you would like to upload.
On our machine, the folder is located at: "C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Wing Commander 1 and 2"
Highlight the "WC" folder (for Wing Commander 1) and click the arrow button to send the files over to your new My NaClBox application.
It will take a minute or so to transfer the files over. When the upload is complete, My NaClBox will refresh and you will see the new folder.
This will boot you into DOS. At this point you will need to enter some commands to start the game, just like you had to on your old Packard Bell. Don't worry, you really only need to learn two commands "CD" and "DIR."
If you get tired of entering these commands, you can always create an AUTOEXEC.BAT file to start the game automatically.
You have installed Wing Commander and can now play it anywhere you are in front of a Chrome workstation. Your saved games will be available from any machine attached to the internet.
Remember: Not all games have a 'boss button'.

Burro Genius by Victor VillaseñOr
Book: Burro Genius
During childhood Victor wanted to help his dad make a doghouse so he started hitting boards with the hammer, his dad couldn't find it and went to Victor and saw him with it, then hit him for fun in the butt with it and called him a turd. He just stalked his dad, like how cats stalk mice. At night his Uncle Archie came over from Oceanside. Victor's dad took him to the pool hall and pulled down his pants in front of everyone and Victor peed on him, his Uncle pulled his dad off him before his dad could hurt him.
His uncle thought that was the greatest thing he ever seen. Victor was at a party, and a blonde comes in she pays and then rides his cousin in the barn. Victor was in the tree and suddenly fell out and started raging and he fell out of the tree and started crying. People laughed at him and he threatened people, someone wanted to break his neck, but Victor's brother stopped him. Victor was in the car with Chemo and Chemo started driving recklessly downhill and Victor saw a truck going uphill quickly, he begged Chemo to slow down, but he told victor to shut it.
And as it sped up Victor jumped out the door and Victor was unconscious he saw his body as if he were dead. Chemo was furious but cared for Victor and asked if he was ok. The truck barely had enough time to dodge them all and saved their lives. Archie and George helped themselves to the liquor in the bar. They seemed to be having a great time, except Tia Tota. Tia Tota and Victor's father got in an argument. Two days later, they took victor's brother to the hospital while he was at school. When he got home and found out, he was furious. Victor's dad kept saying it was all Dr.
Hoskins's Fault. If he hadn't drunk all the time, he would've spotted Joseph's sickness months ago. Victor had a bad feeling. He thought god was punishing his brother for all the horrible things he has done throughout his life. He agreed his mother was right; God was taking Joseph away from him because he was bad and horrible. At school, Dennis and he were playing marbles with the guys when the girl Judy came. She was upset. She started spying on her own father, so she could get him to give her an allowance. He tried to help and kept telling her that money was the root t of all evil.

Leaked Doc Reveals Which Messengers Send The Most Data to FBI

An internal FBI report reveals how WhatsApp and iMessage happily hand over users' data to the Feds, sometimes providing the source and destination of messages every 15 minutes.
The sensitive Federal Bureau of Investigation paper, unearthed by the transparency group Property of the People, spells out in concise yet shocking detail the Bureau's ability to secure messaging app content and associated metadata via warrants and subpoenas - and shows that WhatsApp and Apple's iMessage turn over the most information to authorities.
Dated January 7, 2021, and prepared by the FBI's Science and Technology Branch and Operational Technology Division, it lists a number of popular messaging apps, the methods by which information can be extracted from them, and what data can be secured by investigators.
The file notes that a subpoena submitted to WhatsApp owner Meta delivers "basic" user records, a court order gives "information like blocked users," and a search warrant provides "address book contacts and WhatsApp users" whohave the "target" saved as a contact. A surveillance request known as a "pen register" will result in WhatsApp providing the FBI with the source and destination of a user's messages every 15 minutes.
Will AI turn humans into 'waste product'?
The actual content apparently won't be disclosed - although even without access to messages themselves, knowing who has been texting who, and when, is still highly revealing, and could be crucial in identifying the source of leaked information within an organization, for example.
In any event, WhatsApp messages can be accessed by the Bureau if that user is using an iPhone and has enabled iCloud backups. This is facilitated by Apple maintaining a policy of turning over iCloud encryption keys in response to FBI warrants, which also grant the agency access to iMessages. Data requests filed under 18 US Code § 2703 turn up "25 days of iMessage lookups to and from a target number."
Nonetheless, WhatsApp is the only messaging platform listed that offers close-to real-time disclosure of data - the guide, presumably with some chagrin, records how the slow pace with which other apps provide information "may impact investigations due to delivery delays."
Comparatively, the amount of data that can be accessed from other messaging apps is trifling. For instance, investigators can access certain information on users of Signal - much-vaunted by privacy advocates despite being developed with US government funding - including the date and time a user registered, and the last time they were active on the app. Telegram's strict policy of not cooperating with court orders, apart from "confirmed terrorist investigations," in which the app may disclose IP addresses and phone numbers to relevant authorities, is also noted.
It's a rare insight into the systematic manner in which US authorities can access private information, and can only cast significant doubt on the publicly avowed positions of Apple and Facebook/Meta in respect of user privacy. It was only in September that the former's CEO boldly declared that his company "[believes] privacy is a basic human right" and "one of the most consequential issues of our time," boasting of how its app store had recently implemented a privacy "nutrition label" system, outlining to users what information apps collect on them and why.
"We're all about giving the user transparency and control... It sounds simple, but it's a profound change. We're working for the user. It's not about a marketing slogan or a way to sell things. It's a core value of ours," he claimed.
That such noises were absolutely just a "marketing slogan" was heavily implied in January 2020, when it was reported Apple had jettisoned plans to allow iPhone users to fully encrypt backups of their devices on iCloud two years prior, due to direct FBI pressure. Similarly, Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg's lengthy March 2019 op-ed for the New York Times outlining his "privacy-focused vision for social networking" was somewhat hard to swallow given that nine years earlier, he'd proclaimed privacy was no longer a "social norm".
Twitter's Jack Dorsey to step down, report claims
Still, the Facebook founder spoke with apparent passion and approval of "the future of communication... increasingly [shifting] to private, encrypted services where people can be confident what they say to each other stays secure and their messages and content won't stick around forever," a future "I hope we will help bring about." He specifically cited "the way we've developed WhatsApp" - which he acquired in 2014, and is now the world's most popular messaging platform - as instructive for how all the company's social media assets would be made "as secure as possible."
Even if that stated vision was at all sincere at the time, in the wake of dubious 'whistleblower' Frances Haugen going public about her alleged concerns over the threat posed to US national security by Meta in its present form, and widely repeated demands that Western governments be granted greater powers of surveillance, censorship, and control of social media and the internet more widely, it may simply no longer be feasible.
Facebook arguably already acts as an effective arm of US state power, or is at least subordinate to it - in 2020, it complied with 89% of Washington's requests for user data. Its Threat Intelligence division, from which Haugen hails, is a veritable den of spies, counting numerous former CIA and NSA operatives among its staff. Coincidentally, several of these individuals have contributed to the ongoing wall of negativity surrounding end-to-end encryption.
The newly released FBI file raises all manner of questions about the true rationale behind this long-running anti-encryption push. After all, with such an array of sensitive information so easily discoverable via standard legal procedures, why would greater access be required ?

DeGeer exits while new challenges face THS Football
Xs and Arrows
Doug DeGeer,a seen here in 2019 leading an intrasquad scrimmage, vacates the head coaching position after three seasons and a canceled campaign in 2020 due to COVID-19.
Doug DeGeer has resigned as head varsity football coach for the Tehachapi Warriors, putting THS in unfamiliar territory, seeking their second head coach in five years. DeGeer, who coached a total of three seasons for Tehachapi and was unable to play in 2020 due to COVID-19, replaced hall of fame coach Steve Denman who retired following his 35th season in 2016.
DeGeer posted a 10-23 record at the helm of the Warriors; he led the team to the 2017 Southeast Yosemite League championship and reached the CIF Central Section Division II semifinals in 2017 before finishing a pair of lackluster campaigns. The squad was poised with depth and experience in 2020 before the pandemic canceled the season and Tehachapi Unified School District opted not to field the football team this spring.
"I've lived in Tehachapi most of my life and have followed Warrior Football for as long as I can remember. I have enjoyed the opportunity to coach at Tehachapi High School and be part of the Warrior Football program," DeGeer said.
It is never easy to lose a coach, but certainly tougher when that coach exits the position at his alma mater due to circumstances out of his control, whether those be state funding, support from the district, pandemic-response that eliminates a promising season or otherwise, one is left to wonder what could have been, especially when a coach never had enough of a chance to find his own stride and identity.
So, who will be next for Tehachapi High School football? You may or may not be aware of how the coaching contracts work at Tehachapi Unified School District, but the collective bargaining agreement with the teacher's union prioritizes current teachers in the district for coaching jobs since they are paid via a small stipend. So, it isn't like Tehachapi can advertise nationally for a head football coaching position, it does not work that way, most of the candidates will be internal.
Assistant coach Kris Krempien makes a ton of sense, he is in his second year as a physical education teacher at THS and took over most of the classes once taught by Steve Denman including those in the weight room, an important advantage to note. In addition, Krempien is a former head coach at Rosamond High School and was relatively successful with the Roadrunners taking them to a CIF Southern Section final appearance as well during his tenure. He spent the 2019 season as offensive coordinator for the Warriors, bringing in a new offensive system but willingly adjusting to the tools he had to work with. Krempien's presence in the program and current presence on campus makes him a natural answer.
Sources have confirmed that whoever the next head coach is they will inherit an initial challenge right off the bat as decisions for summer conditioning and weightlifting have not been made by the district. Not only was spring practice not allowed, but those same sources are also speaking about the school district's hesitation of allowing access to the weight room and other facilities over the summer for team activities. Such a nonsensical move would create both a competitive disadvantage for THS and potentially leave players exposed to injuries in the upcoming season. This sentiment was echoed by DeGeer and weighed into his decision to resign as well.
"With all of the setbacks this last year and current uncertainty, I really hope the district does everything within its ability to help put the program in the best possible situation to prepare our players for the upcoming year," he said.
That's what we all hope, and honestly, what we expect. Overcoming that challenge will be the first task of the new head coach for the Warriors, second will be rebuilding the program by leading them back into the postseason and eventually the first CIF Division III crown for the Warriors in over a decade.

Q: php delete only partial contents from a log file In my recent application, i had to write a series of cronjobs and i use to log them to a custom log file, these log files contains details of exceptions and/or shows the status of each execution.
Problem is my log file is getting bulkier and i would like to clear some of the contents from the file and keep it slim.
Like say only keep last 10 days contents inside this file and clear the older contents.
My sample error log file is given below:
[2019-05-16 06:38:16 AM]: Catalog Import - Process started.
[2019-05-16 06:38:17 AM]: - Brands processed.
[2019-05-16 06:38:18 AM]: - Categories processed.
[2019-05-16 06:38:27 AM]: - Catalogues processed.
[2019-05-16 06:38:29 AM]: - CSV generated.
[2019-05-16 06:38:29 AM]: Catalog Import - Process completed.
[2019-05-16 06:38:29 AM]: =======================================================================
[2019-05-17 06:38:16 AM]: Catalog Import - Process started.
[2019-05-17 06:38:17 AM]: Exception - (json encoded response usually array stuffs)
[2019-05-17 06:38:18 AM]: - Categories processed.
[2019-05-17 06:38:27 AM]: - Catalogues processed.
[2019-05-17 06:38:29 AM]: Error - (json encoded response usually array stuffs)
[2019-05-17 06:38:29 AM]: Catalog Import - Process completed.
[2019-05-17 06:38:29 AM]: =======================================================================

What would be the best way to delete the contents periodically in the log file?

A: Open the file and loop the file.
When you find a date that is "too old" delete the line.
Then save the new data in the log file.
$log_file = 'catalog_import.log';
// get the file contents as array.
$lines = file( $log_file);
if (!empty($lines)) {
    foreach ($lines as $row => $line) {
        // if older than 10 days.
        if (time() - strtotime(substr($line, 1, 10)) > 60 * 60 * 24 * 10) {
            unset($lines[$row]);
        }
    }
}
//write the filtered data to the file.
file_put_contents($log_file, implode("", $lines));

die('logs cleared successfully.');

Using travel as a means to strengthen your family's values and purpose. A family vacation can be a golden opportunity to do more than just relax and take some time off – it can be an occasion to reinforce your family's communication and togetherness, and to express your core values in a meaningful way.
Summer is traditionally the time that families are busy planning their summer travel and vacations, so this month we thought it would be appropriate to talk about your family's summer vacation, and how you might think about travel in a new and interesting way. In particular, a family vacation can be a golden opportunity to do more than just relax and take some time off – it can be an occasion to reinforce your family's communication and togetherness, and to express your core values in a meaningful way.
Through partnership with Dr. Richard Orlando, we wanted to share an excerpt from one of his articles about how you might consider using your summer vacation as a means to strengthen your family's values and purpose. Below is an excerpt from Purposeful Travel. To read in its entirety, you can view by clicking HERE.
We all have our own reasons to travel – perhaps looking for a change of scenery, wanting a break from the daily routine, or seeing a different part of the world. Some of us feel the need to experience the foreign or to explore the different. There are those who see the world as a book, and want to read every page. Many of us just want to learn as much as we can about the planet we live on and those with whom we share it. A family travels together for many of the same reasons. However, a family trip often adds a deeper level of meaning as it allows family members to spend time together doing the things they enjoy. Traveling can bring the family closer together through new and unique shared experiences, and through the memories created which will sustain the family for decades. Such shared experiences and memories become the stories that are told again and again at family gatherings and celebrations.
Imagine employing a genealogist to trace your family's history, and a historian to write and publish that history in an illustrated book. Then picture taking your family to the country where that history begins, and walking in the footsteps of previous generations with a history professor from that country who can put your family's story into the context of that country's history. A family increases the likelihood of sustaining its legacy when younger generations know where the family came from, understand the family's story, and appreciate the family's heritage. A family can encourage subsequent generations to sustain the family's legacy by teaching them the family's history and its heritage, and allowing them to experience where it all began. Embedded in one's history are lasting values, wisdom, worldviews, and messages about family, success, and money. Family identity will emerge from this purposeful trip along with the characteristics and values of the family which enabled subsequent generations to create the legacy of accomplishment which allows the family to enjoy the success that it does today. The next generations will be able to fully appreciate the heritage which is theirs, and then build on it to provide the keys to success and legacy moving forward.
Ineffective communication, within and across generations, is a serious threat to sustaining any family as it prohibits the passing of values and wealth to succeeding generations. Communication barriers range from the challenges of busy lives, to an inability of grandparents to make their wishes understood by their grandchildren, to brothers and sisters who no longer speak to one another. The easiest place to talk about the family and the family business (and the communication barriers that may be hindering both) may be at a remote destination far from the family home and business where the shared experiences of travel may give you something to talk about on which the whole family can agree. Purposeful travel also provides a unique opportunity for family members to be together and have a shared experience that gives them a chance to talk about something other than family matters, especially family conflict. A family can enhance communication through this shared experience by just spending time together and getting to know each other better in a relaxed atmosphere. Siblings who might not otherwise get together might join the family if a trip to an attractive destination is part of the bargain. ¬This type of trip may also provide a chance for in-laws to be fully integrated into the family at large. The trip itself can be structured so that it includes activities like climbing or scuba diving where you have to look out for each other. This sort of trip, full of "Did you see that?" moments, gives everyone plenty to talk about.
Here's a challenge that every family of means confronts: How do we prepare the next generation to manage the wealth that they will inherit from us? The next generation needs to understand the responsibilities of wealth, and how to preserve and grow that wealth. Clearly formal and informal education regarding personal finance and investing are prerequisites to increase one's financial IQ. However, purposeful travel can enhance that education in important practical ways. Travel can make financial education more attractive and easier to digest. Make the purpose of a trip the education of the next generation. Employ an economist or business school professor to discuss and give the family access to real life scenarios in the country you are visiting so as to make learning more interesting through practical illustrations. Beyond this, you can use foreign travel to introduce your children to exchange rates and other currencies. Travel can help children acquire a facility with other currencies and begin to understand the factors that cause exchange rates to fluctuate. It's never too early for the next generation to understand the economic realities of other countries where the family's company or its competitors do business. A trip can include visits to stock markets and commodity exchanges on other continents which can contribute to the next generation's understanding of capital markets. Purposeful travel will broaden anyone's life IQ. With the right focus, it can also enhance a family's financial IQ.
In the future, success in business and life is going to depend on a keen understanding of the world, and how economic growth and technological advancement have changed the business landscape and the economic challenges that family businesses face. The next generation, which will inherit the family business, can get an important part of the education they need by traveling. You can use travel for the purpose of introducing the next generation to the global economic forces that they must master to successfully sustain the family business. Just as you will want your business to be globally competitive, so you will want to raise globally competitive children. Even for parents with children who will not inherit a business, there is a benefit to raising your children so that they feel at ease traveling the world, and can be comfortable even in new and very different places. It may be your goal to raise children who are adventurous when they travel – perhaps more adventurous in ways that you never were. To make your children feel like global citizens, take them to explore the globe. Global citizenship also carries with it a sense of responsibility for the world and its inhabitants – both for the world as it is today and the world of future generations. Instilling this sense of responsibility in your children can be heightened through travel. This lesson is best taught to children when they are able to explore the world, understand its great diversity, its enormous challenges, and the issues that a global citizen will want to tackle.
Travel to another land is always an education. It's difficult to visit another country without learning something about its people, their culture, their values, and their history. Where it gets interesting is when you begin to think about how what you learn can benefit you and your family. Travel can provide endless opportunities for education. In a single country, you can learn about the history, politics, religion, culture, art, literature, language, natural resources, food, dance, and music of another people. With over 200 countries and territories in the world, there's more to be learned than can be imagined. Ask your children what they're studying in school. For virtually any school subject, there's a travel destination that will enrich and enhance your children's formal education. They can learn how to read a map, that latitude determines climate, and that longitude determines time of day. And there's that great mystery, the International Date Line. How can we fly from Tokyo to San Francisco and arrive before we left? In providing for the education of your children, don't forget that experience is the best teacher.
Philanthropic travel and "voluntourism" have become so pervasive that they are now an industry. There are so many opportunities to combine travel with giving back that there are companies, websites, books, and non-profit organizations devoted to making these opportunities available. Rather than simply teaching the next generation to write a check, travel can be used to teach your children to help others in a hands-on way and provide them with a perspective they might not otherwise have. Purposeful travel enables a family to find innovative, values-based ways to give back by contributing time and talents as well as treasure. The effect on children traveling for philanthropic purposes can be profound. They will meet children their own age living in starkly different circumstances. This personal experience can help them understand what life is really like for billions of people subsisting in developing countries. You can help children develop the habit of giving when planning a trip by having them consider what they can contribute or what they can give back to the destination that they are visiting.
Purposeful travel can teach children to ask "Who can we help next summer?" rather than "Where can we go next summer?" Purposeful travel focused on giving back addresses two other important goals that parents have for their children – happiness and gratitude. First, happiness research suggests that if we really want to be happy, or if we want our children to be happy, giving back is essential. Second, once a family has accumulated financial abundance, then the bar is raised and the expectations tend to be high. There is the potential for an entitlement mentality to arise in the next generation. Purposeful travel can counter this by highlighting the importance of gratitude.
Travel presents many interesting opportunities to contrast the living and working conditions between the country where the family resides and the country that the family is visiting. Don't just isolate yourself in a luxury resort. Get out into the community, meet people, and learn about how they live and how they make a living. When you've spent the day in Saint Petersburg with an older couple who lived through the Soviet era, and listened to their stories of life in communal apartments and harassment by the KGB, you can't help but feel grateful for the life you have. Purposeful travel can be a powerful force in teaching all of us to be grateful for the parents we have, for the life they've given us, and for the opportunities we have because of them. Seeing the world that most of humanity knows makes it impossible to take for granted or not appreciate what we each have.
No other human activity equals purposeful travel for its ability to teach us, and to enrich our lives and those of our family. It's a unique gift that we can give to our families which will strengthen the family, protect its legacy, and contribute to sustaining the family and its wealth. It can make us better people and give us more meaningful lives. And it is so much fun.

Analysis: Catching up with the green agenda
Doug Morrison
4th June, 2017
Commercial real estate debt providers are undergoing a "dramatic shift in attitudes" towards the sustainability agenda, with the leading players establishing a new regime of best practice in green lending that goes well beyond traditional risk management.
That is the main assertion of the latest report from the Better Buildings Partnership, a collaboration of the UK's commercial property owners that are working together to improve sustainability in the built environment.
According to Peter Cosmetatos, chief executive of the Commercial Real Estate Finance Council Europe, one of the report's sponsors, the more progressive lenders not only acknowledge the risks of paying insufficient attention to sustainability but actually see this as an opportunity to win business – "a real transformation compared to just two or three years ago".
The publication of the BBP's Beyond Risk Management report in late April coincided with news of Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking's €600 million (£509 million) syndicated financing for French REIT Unibail-Rodamco, which the bank priced against 'green' performance criteria.
The loan is the most high-profile to be arranged by Lloyds under its £1 billion Green Lending Initiative, which it launched in March 2016 to subsidise loan margin discounts of up to 20 basis points for borrowers that commit to energy efficiency targets on the commercial properties underlying the loans.
The UK clearer features prominently in the BBP report as one of the "forward-thinking" lenders around today – alongside ING, ABN Amro, Hermes Investment Management and TH Real Estate – that can see the possibilities for debt finance to be good for both business and the environment.
Richard MacDowel, Lloyds' relationship director, commercial real estate – major private groups, acknowledges that the initiative plays to the bank's corporate social responsibility policy while the commercial arguments are still "evolving … but are becoming stronger".
"There is certainly a link between good credit discipline and credit worthiness in environmental buildings and supporting asset managers that invest in our underlying loan collateral," he says. "The Unibail deal has been enormously brand-enhancing, and certainly we're seeing within the UK business people sitting up and seeing us as an innovative lender that is supporting its customer base."
Lloyds' portion of the Unibail deal is understood to be around £42 million, which has taken the bank's overall green lending to £175 million since launching the initiative. Though not Lloyds' largest individual green loan, MacDowel regards the Unibail deal as a "fantastic endorsement" of the initiative. "[Unibail] has raised a number of green bonds, which raised quite large fixed amounts of capital for specific projects, whereas this loan is for general working capital," he says. "It brings funding diversification and enables them to support cap-ex programmes across the business rather than just focused on one or two assets."
The deal is also significant because it was syndicated to as many as 12 lenders – so far undisclosed although believed to include ING. Whereas at the start of the initiative MacDowel was often met with "stunned silence", he says the idea of green lending is taking root, with lenders and borrowers starting to understand what he calls an alignment in the interests between equity and debt. "We're seeing far more in-bound inquiries," he says.
There is undoubtedly regulatory pressure on lenders, indirectly through regulation which affects borrowers. The UK's Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards, for instance, come into force in April 2018 when no commercial building that fails to attain an energy efficiency certificate will be permitted to be leased. "Starting to agree some sort of consensus around how the banking community is going to respond to these forces is, I think, a good thing," says MacDowel. "We become more of a force if we join up in aggregate."
This echoes the collaborative tone of the BBP report, which showcases best practice in green lending, including the use of technology, such as an app developed by ING to help its borrowers identify energy improvement measures that will provide both a financial return and improved environmental performance.
However, the most significant incentive lenders can offer is a green discount on conventional loan terms. For example, on a notional loan of £50 million secured by £80 million of gross assets, Lloyds' 20 bps would equate to £100,000 per year. "On a five-year loan, that's £500,000," says MacDowel, "enough to pay for LED roll-out or support the investment in new M&E. It won't fund serious cap-ex projects in itself but it may make a difference between whether an investment decision is made or not."
Non-compliance does not result in a loan default; the borrower simply does not benefit from the margin discount. At the same time, such a discount clearly eats into Lloyds' profits, which as MacDowel says, need to be recouped. "That's our challenge and it's not straightforward but it's one we think that we're meeting."
It is yet to be demonstrated whether such discounts are financially sustainable for lenders as green lending becomes more prevalent. Lloyds stops short of setting a target for its green loan book. "Certainly, we'd like to spend the £1 billion, and we've got internal support to be able to do that," says MacDowel. "It feels, still, quite early days."
In the Netherlands, where environmental regulations are tougher than the UK, ING gives a discount of 0.5 percent on green loans. Its policy is to grow 15 percent in green assets per year to attain an almost 100 percent green portfolio by 2023, which is a particularly demanding target. As the bank says, sustainability is accepted by institutional investors but for the significant number of non-institutional investors in the Netherlands, it acknowledges it still has a challenge. ING's target outside the Netherlands is 10 percent a year.
There are signs of sustainability being taken more seriously in Germany, where regulation is arguably less demanding. Mortgage bank Berlin Hyp issued a green pfandbrief in 2015, increased it to €1 billion of loans by April 2016 and followed up in September by raising €500 million in its first unsecured 'green' bond. The latest results show that its green finance portfolio accounted for 11 percent of all mortgage loans at €2.02 billion for the year to 28 February 2017 – double the amount for the previous year.
Berlin Hyp's growth has been fuelled by a 10 bps discount on green lending. Whether or not that is sustainable long term is hard to predict, says Bodo Winkler, head of investor relations and sales. "But for the time being [green lending] is a strategic issue in our company, and that's not only for altruistic reasons. In the commercial real estate market, there's quite a lot of competition going on. We are deeply convinced that a modern, sustainable, energy-efficient building will perform better than others, especially in markets that will not permanently increase."
This year, Berlin Hyp has raised the stakes, at least as far as its German competitors are concerned, by declaring its target for green building finance – 20 percent of its overall loan book, equating to €4 billion, by 2020.
"The bank had established itself as a green lender," says Winkler. "It's only logical to define on a corporate, strategical level a certain goal, and that goal should be demanding, and this is demanding. But we have the feeling that we can do it.
"I hope more [banks] take this as a positive example because banks sit in a very powerful position when it comes to the development of the real estate market and how it can contribute efficiently to reach a commonly set goal. The European Commission wants to have 90 percent savings on greenhouse emissions, having in mind that one third of all carbon emissions come from real estate, there is a big [potential] levy if you play on that field."

Oregon Bill Would Ban Ivory Sales
Published March 16, 2015 at 8:55 AM PDT
Paul Mannix
A bill in the Oregon legislature would ban the sale of ivory in the state.
Federal law generally prohibits the import of ivory, but it's legal to sell domestically if the ivory was harvested before 1976.
Now some Oregon lawmakers want to ban the sale of ivory in the state. Supporters of the measure say it can be hard to tell the difference between antique ivory and newer ivory from poached elephants.
David Shepherdson of the Oregon Zoo said the proposal will be a small step in a global struggle.
"We believe that bringing an end to the sale of ivory will help bring an end to the illegal killing of elephants," he said. "Humans can survive without ivory. Elephants can't."
A similar proposal failed in Olympia this year. Opponents included everyone from the National Rifle Association to the Seattle Symphony. Those groups testified that criminalizing the sale of ivory products would reduce the value of antique weapons and musical instruments.
The Oregon bill would allow ivory to be part of an inheritance or to be sold to museums and universities for educational purposes.

Pelicans sign Elliot Williams to 10-day contract
Another wing appears to help New Orleans' backcourt.
By Quentin Haynes Mar 3, 2015, 3:36pm CST
Share All sharing options for: Pelicans sign Elliot Williams to 10-day contract
Pels expected to sign Elliott Williams to 10 day contract
— John Reid (@JohnReid64) March 3, 2015
Surprise! I was an advocate of this move a couple months ago.Williams is a four-year pro from the University of Memphis, via Duke. This season, he averaged 3.6 points and 0.8 assists for Utah in five games.
Williams isn't anything special, but I like to think that there's still some role player potential there. He's only 25 years old with no real long-term look, other than last season's 67 games with the Philadelphia 76ers. Bouncing around the league for a few years now, I'm curious if New Orleans could be his home. The backup shooting guard spot has been one of weakness for the Pelicans this season, so good on them for addressing the situation.
Ultimately, the two things that will keep him around the Crescent City is his defense and ability to stretch the floor. In his 25 games in the NBADL with the Santa Cruz Warriors, Williams had a defensive win shares of 1.4, defensive rating of 106 on the number one defense in the league. He also showed off some touch, shooting 38.3% from three on 4.3 attempts per game. Assuming he gets fair playing time to show his skills off, it wouldn't shock me if he performed well enough to get another contract.
I have a good feeling about this one. Demps has done an excellent job of just finding undervalued players this season and getting some production from them.
Here are some videos of his game.
Welcome to New Orleans, Elliot.


Capitalism is taking a beating right now. Rising wealth inequality and low social mobility have been festering for decades. The median income of Americans hasn't budged in 30 years. The overall share of GDP accruing to capital has risen significantly relative to labor. And I could go on.
So is capitalism the problem? No. We don't need to ditch capitalism, we just need to evolve it so more people can benefit from it.
For some answers, I reached out to Anthony "the Mooch" Scaramucci. You may know him as the short-lived communications director in the White House. But he's also the founder of a multi-billion dollar alternative fund, organizer of the SALT Conference (BTW, I'll be podcasting from the SALT Conference so register to attend and I'll see you there), and a fun guy to talk to.
In today's show, we talk about capitalism. We discuss what works, what's not working, and what would it take for our country to evolve capitalism so it helps all Americans live the American dream.
I hope you enjoy today's show.
SALT Conference I'm attending this year so register too and I'll see you there (some amazing speakers!).

The unpredictable success of Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin

Right from day one, Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin have enjoyed incredible scoring success in Dallas. For the three seasons that they have played together, they have been the most potent one-two punch in the NHL and now have the Dallas Stars atop the Western Conference standings.
The full extent of their success was impossible to predict. Before Seguin was acquired from Boston by Stars GM Jim Nill on July 4, 2013, both players were scoring around 0.75 points per game. Even though they were still young, did anyone expect that their scoring would improve by more than 30 percent, placing them well ahead of the more famous duos in Anaheim, Pittsburgh and Washington?
Looking closer at the underlying numbers, let's see how they truly rank among the league's other notable pairs, dig into their scoring history together and then try to use it as a basis to identify another lethal combination with comparable potential yet to be tapped.
