Global forex scams continue to fleece consumers despite warning alerts
Author: Tom Cleveland
Published: 23rd September, 2019.
It is summer time, at least in the northern hemisphere, and, as the song goes, the living is easy. The only problem with that type of thinking these days is that scam artists are on the ready to fleece you big time, if you are not alert to their tricks. Sadly, despite ample warnings from regulators, the press, and websites like ForexFraud.com, fraudsters are ramping up their attacks across the planet, and consumers are falling for the same old tried and true schemes that continue to work their magic by enriching the crook's bank account, far, far away.
You need not feel alone, if you have become a victim to the latest crime wave that has been sweeping the Internet. The criminal element of our society has also targeted forex brokers. It seems they are prone to con games, too, especially when they are looking for prospective business partners that will help them make money in our highly competitive industry. In today's networked business place, it is every bit as difficult to check on the credentials of an overseas partner, as it is for you to validate the legitimacy of a forex broker operating in the virtual world wide web. Stories have been surfacing over the past year of just such con jobs, where brokers have been taken in and bilked for millions.
Fraudsters have also gone global in a big way, if press headlines are to be believed. News of major crimes on the forex front have typically been concentrated in developed markets, like the UK, the United States, and Europe, where currency trading has been prevalent for decades. Lately, reports no longer focus on London or New York, but also include developing markets like Malaysia and South Africa, among others. The amounts of money in these widespread capers may seem much less that a Bernie Madoff type billion-dollar scam, but the crime world is, as they say, making it up on volume alone. A smaller profile can also help to keep law enforcement at bay, since there are only so many cases that local authorities can pursue before budget constraints kick in.
What forex schemes were perpetrated in Malaysia and South Africa?
Not mush has changed in the past year. We reported back in May of 2016 that, "Fraud is also prevalent on a global basis. It does not discriminate by geographic region, but it does tend to focus on groups that are more susceptible to its cleverly designed traps. Forex scams come in a number of flavors, each one calling upon our greed and our everlasting desire to get rich quick. Currencies may seem familiar, since they are real money, but the trading of foreign exchange pairs is complex, and that complexity can often cloud our judgment. We can easily be led to believe that experts can make mountains of cash and outrageous returns in no time at all."
The above statement was not a blanket indictment of the forex industry. We also noted that, "There are definitely many legitimate brokers and managed account providers to choose from, but there are also a number of shady businesses that prefer to prey on ignorant, uninformed consumers." The issue is that the complexity of foreign exchange trading is often used by crooks to "mystify" their marks, convincing their targets that only experts can make a lot of money at this endeavor and that only they can connect you with the right people. NOT! Do not forget that the "con" in "con man" stands for confidence, which is the initial objective. Once there is trust, then the rest is easy.
Globalization over the past two decades has redistributed a great deal of wealth from developed markets to developing ones. New "wealthy classes" are evolving across the planet, and these individuals are looking for ways to invest their newfound wealth. The issue is that regulatory infrastructures are lacking, behind the curve so to speak. The level of education and consumer awareness is low, especially when it comes to something as complex as forex trading. Unfortunately, this type of environment is exactly what crooks thrive upon. Crooked money management schemes are the order of the day in these developing markets, where the vast majority of the populace is unaware of the risks that will soon take over their lives.
Here are just two brief reports from two different markets:
Malaysia: We actually wrote about this fraud scheme in April when it surfaced and began dominating industry headlines. After a few months, law enforcement officials have gathered more evidence of the perpetrated crimes and have revealed that, "Some 23,259 investors have become victims of forex investment schemes with losses estimated to reach almost RM80 million ($18.4 million USD). Investigations found that the company lures unsuspecting victims to make a minimum investment of between RM2,000 to RM40,000 and that profit payments would be made on a daily basis. "The investments were made in foreign exchange, but the profits promised were not paid." Six individuals have been arrested and assets seized, but the value of these assets is estimated at less than 1% of the total loss value. Funds have obviously been deposited in offshore bank accounts of unknown origin. The fraud emanated from an entity by the name of "VenusFX". The local crime investigation director has added that, "I want to remind the public to be alert and not to fall prey to such fraudulent investment schemes."
South Africa: Fraudsters will often associate with public figures to enhance their credibility and trustworthiness. Such is the case where Brendon Naidoo, a rather flashy spender in bars and entertainment venues, made himself visible in the tabloids by romancing a local DJ star, a Miss Zinhle Jiyane. Unfortunately, while wining and dining his new starlet for all to see in the local tabloids, he "has allegedly been enriching himself by scamming retired teachers and business people," not to mention several unwitting investors and pensioners, out of more than $1.4 million USD. According to one report, "Apparently, Naidoo convinced his "victims" by showing them pictures of himself next to a flashy Audi R8 and producing bank statements of how much money he was making." The bank statements were fakes, and, as in most cases of this type, funds were drained from client accounts to finance a lofty lifestyle, well beyond the norm of society. Needless to say, his relationship with Zinhle has ended, and he has been remanded to Johannesburg Central prison where he will stay until his next court date.
Why are we so susceptible to these schemes, regardless of cultural issues?
As long as conmen have swindled an unwitting public, there have been books written about why we fall so easily for the schemes that are so easy to spot, when you are not looking through the eyes of a victim. In fact, a new best-seller that hit bookstores last year was entitled, "The Confidence Game: Why We Fall for It … Every Time." The author, a New York psychologist by the name of Maria Konnikova, reveals many of the reasons, but there is no news here. Her poignant comments follow:
"We're very good at being objective about others, but not about ourselves. So oftentimes people say, 'if it's too good to be true, it is, get out.' But that's very easy to say about other people, it's really hard to say about ourselves because nothing's too good for me, I'm a person who really deserves this."
"The first thing that con artists do when they're trying to con someone isn't a trick so much as research. So they really look up the people that they're going to be conning."
"They will use — and this is a trick — they will make you emotional very, very quickly. Because the way that our minds work is, it's very difficult to be logical when you're also emotional."
"People who are in moments of transition are particularly vulnerable to con artists because transition creates emotional vulnerability because it creates uncertainty, and we really don't like uncertainty. They're going to sell you certainty."
"We often can't say no because it puts us in this situation of a bad guy. Basically have exit scripts for any situation in your mind that are automatic, rather than in the moment, because it's really hard to think in the moment."
"The best ones? There are no red flags, they're just great, fun people. That's why they're so good. If they were sleazy, if they seemed like a used car salesman like our stereotype of them, they wouldn't be good con artists. We would never fall for them."
Perhaps, there are one too many quotes above, but it's difficult to gain one's attention, no matter how well meaning quotes can be. If you stop and think about the people in Malaysia and South Africa that were duped and then try to picture yourselves in their positions, what would you have done? How would you have reacted?
What schemes have befallen a number of global forex brokers of late?
Yes, uninformed consumers can be easy marks for an accomplished con man, but how have members of the forex brokerage community been duped? It may come as a shock to you, but businessmen can be susceptible to the same tricks and schemes as the rest of us. They are not immune, nor do they easily escape the far-flung web of the criminal element of our community. The latest fraud game relates to new customer acquisition, termed appropriately as the "make-money affiliate networks".
The scheme is a glorified pyramid network where IBs promise brokers new customers, while those potential customers are persuaded to sign up more friends in the process. As one insider noted, "The two caveats to bear in mind with regard to these systems are that brokers could fall foul of these tactics, sign up to this type of network, and lose money yet gain no new clients, and that retail customers of brokerages could be persuaded to become 'affiliates' in their own right, to find that actually they have money taken off them and no deposits from the network would arise."
Consumers beware, and forex brokers, as well. Ponzi and pyramid schemes are alive and prospering on a global basis. If it looks to good to be true, as most schemes do that promise exorbitant returns and as most "make-money funnels" do that promise a steady flow of new customers and first-time deposits, walk the other way. Greed and seeming desperation can lead to even greater problems in the long run. Beware the conman!

That's the message a group of eastern Iowa high schoolers are using to defend their stance on the Confederate flag after a fellow student says he was sent home Thursday for flying the flag on his truck.
On Friday, some of Hunter Gray's classmates supported him.
Nearly a dozen students showed up at Vinton-Shellsburg High School displaying the "stars and bars" to show support.
"I don't want this to be a racism thing because this is not what it's about," Gray said. "We want to show them that this, to us is heritage and a piece of American history."
Gray also said he believes his First Amendment right was violated.
District superintendent Mary Jo Hainstock did not confirm or deny Gray was sent home from the school, only saying the district is trying to balance freedom of speech and providing a safe learning environment.

Orange Grove Boulevard is a main thoroughfare in Pasadena and South Pasadena, California. Each New Year's Day, the Rose Parade participants and floats line up before dawn on Orange Grove Boulevard, facing north, for the  beginning of the parade. South Orange Grove has been the address of the affluent, both the famous and the infamous, since the early 1900s. The Los Angeles Times said: "When a stranger comes to Pasadena now, the real-estate agent shows him Orange Grove Avenue.

History

Orange Grove Boulevard is one street of several exclusive residential districts in Pasadena. Since the early 20th century, because of the number of landmark mansions, the street earned the name Millionaire's Row, an appropriate nickname, considering that the estates that once lined this spacious boulevard and the surrounding neighborhood read like a Who's Who of American consumer products. The maker of Wrigley's chewing gum, William Wrigley Jr.'s,  significant home was proffered to the city of Pasadena after Mrs. Wrigley's death in 1958, under the condition that their home would be the Rose Parade's permanent headquarters. The stately Tournament House stands on Orange Grove Blvd. today, and serves as the headquarters for the Tournament of Roses Parade. In wartime 1942,
Orange Grove Boulevard was used as an alternate route for the Rose Parade to avoid an enemy attack.

North Orange Grove Boulevard

Formerly referred to as Mountain Avenue, North Orange Grove Boulevard is home to the exquisite Gamble House. North of Holly Street, the road bends northeast, ending at North Fair Oaks Avenue.  The home of David Gamble, son of consumer product maker James Gamble of Procter & Gamble, is located on the north end of Orange Grove Blvd. The Gamble House, an American Craftsman masterpiece, was built in 1908, by architects Charles and Henry Greene, as an exemplification of their Ultimate bungalow. It is open to the public as both an architectural conservancy and museum. The Gamble House is a California Historical Landmark and a National Historic Landmark on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1966 it was deeded to the city of Pasadena in a mutual agreement with the University of Southern California School of Architecture. Ever since that time, two USC architecture students per year have been selected to live in the house full-time.

East Orange Grove Boulevard
Formerly referred to as Illinois Street, this section of Orange Grove Boulevard runs through the more economically diverse northern part of the city. Although there is a small commercial district between Lincoln and Los Robles avenues, this section of the street is overwhelmingly residential. The street ends at California State Route 19 (North Rosemead Boulevard) and Sierra Madre Villa Avenue in Hastings Ranch. Orange Grove crosses Sierra Madre Boulevard just before ending.

South Orange Grove Boulevard
The Norton Simon Museum is at the intersection of Orange Grove and Colorado boulevards. The museum can be quite clearly seen every year during the Rose Parade broadcast. The parade's official start is at Orange Grove Boulevard and Ellis Street.

South Orange Grove Boulevard becomes South Orange Grove Avenue at Columbia Street and its southern terminus is a cul-de-sac in western South Pasadena, passing by Orange Grove Park. Between Columbia Street and Colorado Boulevard, the road is the center of an exclusive neighborhood. In 1876, unimproved land with water could be purchased for about $100 an acre. Currently, a small empty lot is likely to go for as much as $200,000. Most of the mansions in this area are gone; multiple residential courts and condominiums line the street. Valley Hunt Club, Maranatha High School, and Westridge School are located on South Orange Grove Boulevard.

"Mobilizing Mobility"
The city of South Pasadena has embarked on an ambitious project to improve both the safety and the ambience of South Orange Grove. The sidewalks along the street have been landscaped and refurbished. The addition of vintage street lights both improves the safety of pedestrians and contributes to the desired ambience.

Receiving great response internationally, "Rockin' Rollin' Rolpa" is a fiction that brings to light the sharp contrasts of life in America and rural Nepal. Having made its way up to the #18 best seller in Amazon USA's adventure books line-up, the author seems to be slowly but surely gaining momentum in the Nepali market as well.
Writer, Mahendra P. Joshi was born and raised in Baitadi, Nepal. He pursued his graduate studies in the United States and thus accumulated a variety of experiences that eventually inspired the title of his book.
1. It says in your book that you experienced the best of both worlds: the posh American society and the rural Nepali setting? So how was the entire ordeal? How did you adjust to the cultural shock and lifestyle when you went to college from Baitadi?
Being born in a rural town of Patan, Baitadi and then going to another country without a lot of knowledge made it quite the challenge. Our college had programmes for us to cope up with the cultural shock but nonetheless, it took me quite some time to get used to their accent, their food, and their overall lifestyle. However, this experience was a major influence for me to write the book.
2. 'Explore Nepal, Know America' is a theme which you've incorporated in your story by personalising it with your own experiences and lacing it with the main character. How did you procure this idea?
I was a liberal arts student who went forward with a Creative Writing major. I knew that I had to eventually be a writer. This book itself was part of my assignment in college. The stories I had of my own life really impressed my professor and he believed that a story like this would sell well in Nepal. I was in a dilemma whether to continue my story or not but eventually, I had different people motivating me to go for it.
3. What is your favourite book? What genre of books do you favour? What impact has the book had in your life?
I prefer anything that's adventurous. Similarly, my favourite book is "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain". Books such as these gave me the inspiration to make my own characters travel.
4. What are some of the true events that inspired the plot of the book?
As a Nepali student in the USA, I was really shy when I first arrived. However, later assimilating with the culture I too became a party freak out there. As the novel is targeted towards young people the parties reflect my own personal experiences and the descriptions I have of the rural places are also based on the places I used to live in.
5. At the beginning of the book, you mention bringing about a radical change in society. What do you have to say to people who find it difficult to step out of their comfort zone?
Well, it's ok if people are not interested in an activity but I really want people to listen to stories so that even they can be intrigued or inspired to win over their fear. A different perspective can have many positive outcomes and I have tried to incorporate a similar theme in this book as well. With whatever experience you have or will gain in the future, you have to start by trying.
6. What do you have to say to people who lack the inspiration to read or write? How do you think they can be encouraged?
I find it really disheartening but the reading culture is picking up in Nepal too. I myself make efforts to encourage my own students and my book could come of help. "Rockin' Rollin' Rolpa" is a gateway book for new readers who want to build up their reading habit. Start with something simpler and then move on to other titles.
7. What are your feelings on Nepali writers inclining towards English literature? Have you thought of writing anything in Nepali or translating your work?
I am just glad that people are involved in any form of literature. Though I am confident about both my English and Nepali, I would prefer if there was someone else, someone much experienced, who could translate my book.
His book is also available on www.kitabyatra.com along with being in bookshops close to you.

Baptist Christianity is one of the largest, and most diverse group of Christians. Baptists take their name from the practice of adult baptism and unlike most Christians, who baptize infants or young children, baptists insist that individual believers freely and publicly commit themselves to their christian faith. This is done in a ceremony of adult baptism, often known as "believers baptism" or credo-baptism.
Often these baptisms are full immersions, in which the believer is lowered completely beneath the surface of the water, emerging in the eyes of the Church as "born again" in Christ. This is both an outwardly and inwardly sign of repentance of sin and confession of faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God.
Baptist churches emerged in the early 17th century within various protestant denominations. While today there are still no central Baptist authority, two prominent confederations are the Baptist World Alliance, and the Southern Baptist Convention.
The former being a more liberal branch, and the latter being a more conservative branch. Generally evangelical, Baptists require that the new testament be the explicit authority for their beliefs and practices. While not always taking the Bible literally, Baptists insist that the Christian beliefs and practices are commanded or commended by example within the Bible.
Baptists believe that religious faith is a matter of personal relation between God and the individual. This support for "religious freedom" entails that individuals may practice any religion, or none. Historically, they have been ardent supporters of the principle of the separation of Church and State, particularly in the United States. Of course, Baptists have the evangelical hope that individuals will confess a Christian faith, but insist that this must be a free decision.
Because of the lack of a central authority, a wide range of beliefs can be seen between one baptist church and another. However, there are many main central beliefs, such as: There is one God who is eternal, infinite in power, wisdom, holiness and love. God is an essential being and revealed to mankind as the father, son and holy spirit.
Jesus is the second person of the Godhead and is eternally one with God the Father. To become human he was conceived of the holy spirit and born as a human.
The scriptures, consisting of the old and new testaments, are infallible word of God. And People were made in the image of God and for fellowship with God. However, we fell from fellowship with God and as a consequence, all of mankind are spiritually dead under Satan's dominion and control. In order to atone, one must accept Jesus as their lord and savior, and become baptized in his name and thus, born again.

The iBeacon is a technology developed by Apple in 2013. Said beacon consists of a low powered Blue Tooth device which broadcasts a signal according to the protocol designed by Apple. The purpose of this gadget is to be detected by mobile devices and be used a means to determine the local position of the user in relation to the beacon. That's it,, nothing more or nothing less. At first glance, it seems like a very basic function. However, with a bit of imagination, can have many applications. Let's take a look at the actual device:
As you can see, the device is very small. It's worth noting that while the concept and the protocol belong to Apple, the device can be built by different vendors. Therefore, it comes in many shapes and sizes. The function, however, remains the same across all models. Also, unlike other Apple inventions, the device can be used by Android and Windows phone devices.
First of all, let's take a look the the signals broadcasted by the beacon:
When you purchase one of these devices, the documentation should say what values that beacon is broadcasting. If not, you can use public apps to detect these values (like "iBeacon Detector" and "Particle Detector"). The signal is meant to be used in a hierarchical order. Being the UUID the most important one. The reason why the other two values exist is because you can have several beacons with the same UUID with different areas or subareas. We'll better illustrate this in the example at the end. Now, let's get into some code.
The code for the detection of this signal is fairly simple and straight forward. First off, we must create a CLLocationManager and request the proper authorization:
Keep in mind that in order for the authorization request to work, you must also write the authorization request text in the project .plist:
After that, we create a Beacon Region and tell the Location Manager to start monitoring for it:
And that's it! Now, when the device enters a region, it'll begin to look for the signal broadcasted with that particular UUID (so long the device's blue tooth service is active, of course). It should also be mentioned that we can tell the app to look for more than one beacon region. Just create more CLBeaconRegion objects and use the "startMonitoringForRegion:" method to listen for them, as well, this way you can have beacons with different UUIDs. Now, let's take a quick look at the delegate methods for the detection events related to this:
Murder mystery time!
In order to better understand how to use this feature, let's look a hypothetical example:
Let's pretend that you're making an Alternative Reality Game (ARG), one which takes place in an actual physical mansion. The players would play the role of a team of detectives who are piecing the clues of a murder perpetrated that evening. The function of the app would be to feed the players pieces of the story and contextual information when they get in a particular room and complete a certain action. And that's not all, they are also high-tech detectives. The app will give them special "detectors" to tell them when they are close to a clue. Using the camera (with Augmented Reality), the players will scan this special spot to reveal the clue that will lead them to another room and unlock the next part of the story.
This sounds cool on paper, doesn't it? But…, can be implemented? Of course, the answer is yes. In order to trigger these events, we must track the position of the user at all times with a relative level of precision. Here is how the floor plan of the mansion would look like:
By using several beacons with different information, we can tell in which room the user will located and feed him data accordingly. Here is how it would look according to the signals given by the beacons:
Let's break this down:
The area within the blue outline would represent ALL of the beacons. This determines whether or not the user is within the mansion to begin with. To achieve this, all the beacons will have the same "UUID".
The areas within the other colored outlines would be represented by a particular "Mayor" value for that place.
Finally, the areas with the red circled X would represent the special spots where the "Clue Detector" would tell the user that a clue is near by. These areas can be determined by the "Minor" value.
In short, with this technology, we have the basis to make a game that uses actual physical space to engage the user.
iBeacon technology has as many applications as we could imagine. Whether it be something as complex as video game or just a clothing store app, the principles remain the same. So, have fun coding with it.

Fairy Tales 2016: Architecture Storytelling Competition
Fairy Tales: Architecture Storytelling Competition
https://www.archdaily.com/775351/fairy-tales-2016-architecture-storytelling-competition
After the record breaking success of Fairy Tales 2015, with over 1,200 participants from 65 different countries, Blank Space is excited to announce that the third edition of the competition is now open for registration.
"When we started hosting the Fairy Tales competition, we couldn't anticipate the ways in which such a foreign format would be received, but after combing through over 2,000 stories it has become apparent that the "fictional" aspect of Fairy Tales is a powerful vehicle to tackle very real concerns," say Matthew Hoffman and Francesca Giuliani. "Many entries wrestle with topics that surround us: the benefits and dangers of globalization; our reliance on technology; the mismatch between the design dreams of architects and the reality of the profession; and our impact on the natural world," the founders add.
The Fairy Tales competition invites architects, designers, writers, artists, engineers, illustrators, students and creatives to submit their own unique architectural fairy tales. The scale, location, and program of the submission is up to each entrant. A successful entry crafts a text narrative, along with 5 images, in the most spectacular way possible.
The entries to the 2016 Fairy Tales competition will be reviewed by some of the most influential authorities in architecture, design, storytelling, and business. The jury includes: Hans-Ulrich Obrist (Co-Director of the Serpentine Galleries), Elizabeth Diller (Founding Partner of Diller Scofidio + Renfro), Allison Arieff (Editorial Director of SPUR), Bradford Shellhammer (Founder and CEO of Bezar), Daniel Simon (Concept and Car Designer), Dror Benshetrit (Founder of Dror), Sylvia Lavin (Director of Critical Studies in Architecture at UCLA), Cristina Goberna (Co-Founder of Fake Industries, Architectural Agonism), Aaron Betsky (Dean of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture), Alexander Walter (Editor in Chief of Bustler), Robert McKee (Fulbright Scholar and Creative Writing Instructor), David Basulto (Founder and Editor in Chief of Archdaily), Becky Quintal (Executive Editor of Archdaily), Matthew Hoffman and Francesca Giuliani (Co Founders, Blank Space).
In addition, Blank Space has partnered with the best architecture and design publications out there: Design Milk, Archinect, Bustler and Archdaily. They will confer the winning entries to millions of design fans around the world, giving these unique architectural fairy tales the recognition they deserve.
"Modern architecture strives to present a linear, logical story with every project. In reality, the creative process is anything but linear," say Blank Space Founders Matthew Hoffman and Francesca Giuliani. "There is a great willingness within the design community to tell new stories -- stories that go beyond simple descriptions to become harbingers of new architectural possibilities. Our goal is to utilize the Fairy Tales competition to coax them out."
Participants can register for a special $35 Early Bird Discount until Thursday, October 22. Following that, Regular Registration ($55) will be open until December 09, and Late Registration ($75) until the Submission Deadline on January 16, 2016.

In times of standardization and process optimization, elevator manufacturers around the world use DigiPara® Liftdesigner to fully automate their drawings. Whether rope or hydraulic elevator, whether modernization or new installation – with the help of predefined parameters, components and logic the intelligent elevator configurator provides efficient planning and the configuration of elevators and escalators. Users benefit from this stand-alone Windows application and don't need any additional CAD programs.
Three-dimensional planning is the way to go nowadays. DigiPara Liftdesigner makes it possible to configure elevators and escalators as complete 3D models with just a few clicks. Both components of the existing database and your own CAD models can be customized to any size and calculated. Thus, the shaft wizzard can be used to create individual elevators as well as elevator groups which can be passed as 3D data in production. In addition, architects can add 3D BIM elevator models, which were supplied by manufacturers, into their Revit buildings.
Especially when working with CAD software, you will want to process already created data in different departments. Loading CAD models from PTC Creo, Autodesk Inventor, and SolidWorks enables a smooth data exchange between the corresponding CAD programs and DigiPara Liftdesigner. Individual changes are immediately updated and data reliably transferred to the native CAD data.
Every 3D elevator model in DigiPara Liftdesigner also includes the 2D drawings, which are required for the installation. The software allows you to create your own drawing sheets with title blocks and drawing frames. Different views are possible as well as inserting and using DWG title blocks. Changed dimensions are immediately adjusted in all views so that errors in quotation and installation drawings don't arise. Reusing existing projects and sending them as PDF or DWG to colleagues or customers prevents unnecessary data breaches or errors.
Three-dimensional planning and presentation of elevator cabins makes ideas tangible. The photo realistic visualization brings the design to the point and convinces potential customers. Individual materials, people, photo realistic lighting and mirror effects within the DigiPara Lifdesigner cabin configurator illustrate the cabin at your fingertips. Also, the creation of cabin approval drawings becomes a breeze with the cabin configurator.
The construction of elevators and escalators with all the necessary components is very complex. In order to save time and money, DigiPara Liftdesigner supports the standardization of the development process. Users can replace neutral common components with a click through manufacturer-like products via the extensive 3D BIM library. Even the DigiPara Liftdesigner Free Edition provides certified data via a configurator and offers the ability to export matching components directly and deliver them to other departments or partners without data breaches.
The intelligent elevator configurator already has a gigantic 3D BIM library with manufacturer-like products. But – many manufacturers have to integrate their own components into their elevator planning. DigiPara Liftdesigner enables both the development of individual components as well as loading CAD data for further planning. These models can then be stored in the library for your own purposes as well as to other users. As a result, the software also offers a marketing platform for your own products.
The planning of larger buildings often requires escalators, ramps and moving walks. With the help of the DigiPara Escalatordesigner, users can adapt the escalators in the existing building with all common arrangements. The configuration of escalators and ramps are extremely simplified. Individual solutions can be added, if required.
The manual construction of elevators and escalators and the exchange of data between departments can cause errors. The integration of DigiPara Liftdesigner Automation via individual interfaces in ERP enables drawings and 3D BIM models to be created automatically. Through this simplified sales process, sales will increase dramatically.
Elevator planners and architects are online today and they expect to be able to solve their requirements on the move. The DigiPara Liftdesigner Automation Web Plugin (LDAWP) allows users to access, view and download drawings and 3D BIM models 100%, anytime and anywhere. LDAWP is easy and quick to install. The data is available in the cloud. A contemporary channel for even more sales.


Unilite U-360 HC advertising lighter, classic but special! Some like the thinner and more elegant lighters, some like metal and heavy but the U-360 HC is special because of its shape and ergonomics, it's great in every hand. Not too big or too big, just the way it is.
Another great advantage over a flammable competition is the large print surface of 21 × 40 mm on both sides. Some logos are of such a shape that they simply look bad on short or narrow lighters. With U-360 HC, this problem does not exist. Each logo or promo message on it will be easily visible and clearly visible and with a greater distance.
The Unilite U-360 HC promotional lighter is made of high-quality plastic that your logo, promotional message or brand can apply to screen printing, tampon printing or digital printing in full color.
Other, no less important, the proven German Unilite quality, durability, robustness and robustness with no clogged parts, excellent finishing and a large gas tank that you will rarely replenish.

Moyamoya is a blood vessel disorder which is very rare. In this condition, carotid artery present in the skull area narrows leading to insufficient flow of blood in the brain. The term moyamoya has been derived from a Japanese word which means puff smoke. This term displays the appearance of clusters on blood vessels. These small blood vessels fails to supply the required amount of oxygen and blood essential for normal brain functioning. This ultimately leads to temporary or at times even permanent brain disorder.
Moyamoya disease is not limited to any particular region of the world but it is commonly found in people of East Asian countries, like Japan, China and Korea. The reason behind this can be the genetic problem that runs in the families. More and more cases of moyamoya have been noticed in Asian countries.
Asian Descent - Genetic Problem - People who have a family history of moyamoya have around thirty to forty percent higher chance of developing this problem. This indicates that the problem is genetic in nature.
Moyamoya may get triggered by other health problems such as neurofibromatosis, Down syndrome, anemia and so on. This means that individual suffering from any of the above mentioned problems are at a higher risk of suffering from moyamoya.
If the problem is left untreated for prolong period of time then it can lead to stroke or blockage or even ballooning of blood vessels. This condition adversely affects the way brain functions and can lead to brain disability. Research has revealed that this condition is mostly seen in children and at times adults also may experience the symptoms of the problem.
The above mentioned symptoms can be triggered if the patient indulge in exercise, staining or suffer from fever and cold.
Till date the exact cause of moyamoya is not known. Survey report has revealed that although the problem can occur in individual of any country or origin but it commonly seen in Korea, China, Japan and in nearby countries. Researchers have a strong belief that as majority of people from Asian countries are suffering from this problem, so it may be genetic in nature. In addition, moyamoya is deeply associated with other health conditions like hyperthyroidism, down syndrome, neurofibromatosis and anemia.
Blood Thinners. If the problem is diagnosed at a very early stage then blood thinners like aspirin can help in preventing stroke.
Calcium Antagonists. This medication is also known as calcium channel blockers. This medication is effective in controlling symptoms like headache and problem related to transient ischemic attacks.
Anti-Seizure. This medication is prescribed for controlling seizure attack.
Moyamoya is a very severe brain disorder, hence; if one feels or experience any of the symptoms of the problem then immediately visit a doctor.

Located in downtown San Diego, this project includes the renovation of the existing Best Western Yacht Harbor Hotel and Restaurant. The renovation took place with no disruptions to current operations, and the hotel reported no revenue loss during construction.
Included in the renovation were a new main entrance, site improvements, interior upgrades, ADA upgrades, stair tower and exterior skin finishes. We also completed demolition the existing restaurant next to the hotel to the shell framing, re-roofed, stucco'd, landscaped, windows, storefront, and ADA upgrades.
One key reason the project was a success was the site logistics and sequencing with the hotel and their occupants. We redirected the access to the building through an existing corridor window and relocated the hotel front lobby area to keep the hotel up and running during construction.


The story of those born in Cyprus is complex, driven by the conflict there between its Turkish and Greek-speaking areas.
Cypriot-born people are among the few nationalities which recorded a decrease between 1991 and 2001, a fall of 1,000 people.
Generally speaking, clusters of people born in Cyprus mirror the story for Turkish-born people in north London.
But this is not the whole story: some Cyprus-born people may be children of British forces personnel once stationed on the island: 97 residents of Salisbury - an Army area � told the Census they were born in Cyprus.
77,156 people born in Cyprus were living in Britain at the 2001 census.
60% of them are recorded living in London in areas closely associated with Turkish life in the capital.
2 London boroughs � Haringey and Enfield - are home to 18,000 Cyprus-born people.
2 areas of Manchester � Stretford and Moss Side � have the largest Cyprus-born clusters outside London.

Capitol Police officer charged with obstructing riot investigation
Posted on November 22, 2021 By admin No Comments on Capitol Police officer charged with obstructing riot investigation
Officer Michael Angelo Riley was charged Friday with trying to protect someone later accused of illegally entering the Capitol during the riot.
A 25-year veteran of the U.S. Capitol Police force was charged Friday with trying to protect a man who was later accused of illegally entering the Capitol during the January 6 riot.
A grand jury indictment charged Officer Michael Angelo Riley with repeatedly telling the man to delete all social media that would provide proof of entering the building that day.
"[I']m a capitol police officer who agrees with your political stance," Riley said in a Facebook direct message, according to the indictment. "Take down the part about being in the building they are correctly investigating and everyone who was in the building is going to be charged. Just looking out!"
Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger said Riley was placed on leave.
"Obstruction of justice is a very serious allegation," Manger said. "The department was notified about this investigation several weeks ago. Upon his arrest, the officer was placed on administrative leave pending the completion of the case."
Capitol police will conduct their own administrative investigation, he said.
Gus Papathanasiou, the Capitol Police Union chairman, said in a statement Friday that the public should have faith in the process.
"We need to wait until all of the facts of the case are known and this officer has been given the opportunity to defend himself," he said. "In this country, there is a presumption of innocence. All I ask is that everyone respect the process and let it proceed before rendering a judgement on this officer."

A spokesman for the Capitol Police told NBC News that Riley was not one of the 38 officers who were under internal investigation by the department after the attack. The spokesperson said disciplinary actions were recommended in six of those cases.
Court documents said Riley, a member of the police K-9 unit, sent a Facebook friend request to a man described only as "Person 1" on Jan. 1. Both were in Facebook groups devoted to fishing. The day after the riot, Riley sent a direct message to Person 1, who had posted photos and videos admitting his presence in the Capitol.
Law enforcement officials said Person 1 is a Virginia fishing charter boat operator, Jacob Hiles. He pleaded guilty in early September to a charge of illegally parading in the Capitol and will be sentenced in December. Court documents in his case said he "smoked an unknown substance" during his time in the building.
The two exchanged dozens more Facebook direct messages, the indictment said. When Person 1 said he did not think he had done anything wrong, Riley responded, "The only thing I can see is if you went in the building and they have proof you will be charged."
Several days later, Riley advised Person 1, "Get off of social media," the indictment said.
Court documents said that on Jan. 20, the man told Riley that the FBI was curious about his conversations with the Capitol police officer, and that Riley then deleted all his Facebook direct messages to and from Person 1.
The next day, the indictment said, Riley sent him a new message saying a video showed the man in the Capitol "smoking weed and acting like a moron. I have to say i was shocked and dumfounded, since your story of getting pushed in the building with no other choice now seems not only false but a big lie. I feel like a moron for believing you."

Riley received commendations from the Capitol Police and a national law enforcement organization about 10 years ago for performing resuscitative measures on a fellow police officer suffering a medical emergency.
Justice Department officials said Riley was arrested Friday on obstruction of justice charges. The name of his lawyers was not immediately available.

Pauline Rowson to reveal the secrets of crime writing at Waterlooville Library
Crime author, Pauline Rowson is to reveal the secrets of successful crime writing at Waterlooville Library, Hampshire on Friday 3 February at 3pm when she will be talking about how she plots, researches and writes her popular crime novels set in the Solent area on the South Coast of England. She will also take questions from the audience, which will be followed by a book signing.
Pauline Rowson is the author of twelve novels in the Andy Horton marine mystery police series, two standalone crime novels and two crime novels featuring former Royal Marine Commando, Art Marvik, now turned undercover investigator for the UK's National Intelligence Marine Squad (NIMS). Marvik is featured in Silent Running and Dangerous Cargo published by Severn House
Fatal Catch the twelfth and latest in the popular Andy Horton crime series is published by Severn House in paperback, hardcover and as an ebook on Amazon Kindle and Kobo, available in the UK and USA.
The Andy Horton crime novels are set against the atmospheric backdrop of the sea in the Solent area of Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight on the South Coast of England where Pauline Rowson lives. They have been hailed as "compelling," "multi-layered and complex" "a great read for mystery lovers".

JCPOA does not prohibit development of ballistic missiles by Iran
By JO on January 16, 2018 No Comment
By Javad Heiranni
The Tehran Times, January 14, 2018
TEHRAN – Professor Farhang Jahanpour, part-time tutor on the Middle East in the Department of Continuing Education at the University of Oxford, tells the Tehran Times that "It should be remembered that a greater part of the statement released by President Trump is for domestic consumption, and also it is a face-saving formula to persuade his base that he has remained firm in his decision."
"The nuclear agreement does not prohibit the development of ballistic missiles by Iran," Jahanpour tells the Tehran Times in an exclusive interview.
He also adds that "The Security Council Resolution that confirmed the deal, in an annex "calls on Iran" to refrain from manufacturing ballistic missiles, but it has been made clear that it is not a binding requirement."
Originally published by The Tehran Times here
Following is the full text of the interview:
Q: U.S. President Donald Trump has approved the Iran nuclear deal for only one more time before abandoning it if it is not changed. What are the changes that Trump has in mind?
A: Given President Trump's earlier statements about the Iran nuclear deal calling it the worst deal in history, and the concerted efforts of the Neo-Conservatives to force him to kill the deal, his decision to waive nuclear-related sanctions one more time is very significant and is probably the best outcome that could be expected under the circumstances. Last time when he decertified the nuclear deal, he called on the U.S. Congress to come up with an amended deal that he could agree with. However, Congress refused to propose an alternative and turned the decision back to the president.
At this point, the president had two choices: either to pull the plug on the deal, or to find a face-saving formula to continue with it, and he has chosen the second option.
The important fact is that not only Russia and China, but the U.S.'s closes allies in Europe strongly urged him to preserve the deal. The EU High Commissioner for Foreign Policy and Security Federica Mogherini chaired a meeting of British, French, German and Iranian foreign ministers only a few days ago, and all the participants openly supported the deal. Ms Mogherini herself said: ""The unity of the international community is essential to preserve a deal that is working, that is making the world safer and that is preventing a potential nuclear arms race in the region. And we expect all parties to continue to fully implement this agreement." In the light of almost unanimous international support, President Trump had no option but to waive nuclear-related sanctions against Iran.
Q: The White House wants a deal with EU signatories to make restrictions on Iran's uranium enrichment permanent. Under the current deal they are set to expire in 2025. Do you think the EU will accept this condition? If so, Will Iran accept it?
A: It should be remembered that a greater part of the statement released by President Trump is for domestic consumption, and also it is a face-saving formula to persuade his base that he has remained firm in his decision. Most of what he has said in the introduction to the statement is the repetition of the charges that he has made in the past against Iran, and they do not contain anything new.
When he says that he calls on Congress to work on bipartisan legislation regarding Iran, this is exactly what he said the last time, and Congress did not take the bait. Some of the points that he makes in his statement are also the points that have already been included in the nuclear deal. The first point is that Iran should allow inspection of all the sites. This is something that Iran has been doing for the past two years. The second point is that Iran should never come close to possessing a nuclear weapon. This too is a part of the agreement and Iran has denied that she was ever intending to manufacture nuclear weapons. The third point is that "unlike the nuclear deal, these provisions must have no expiration date." Those provisions do not have an expiration date, but it is interesting to note that he has implicitly accepted the expiration dates for the nuclear deal.
Q: Mr Trump also wants Iran's ballistic missile programme to be addressed. Iran frequently has emphasized that the ballistic missile programme is not related to the JCPOA and will not negotiate it. According to this, do you think that this condition means the end for the JCPOA?
A: The issue of ballistic missiles is nothing new either. The nuclear agreement does not prohibit the development of ballistic missiles by Iran. The Security Council Resolution that confirmed the deal, in an annex "calls on Iran" to refrain from manufacturing ballistic missiles, but it has been made clear that it is not a binding requirement. What the nuclear agreement requires is that Iran does not develop ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. As Iran does not have nuclear weapons and does not intend to manufacture them that condition too is already in force.
On the whole, Iran should continue to abide by the terms of the nuclear agreement and cooperate with the IAEA and with other signatories to the deal. The fact that President Trump has again waived nuclear-related sanctions sets a precedent for the future.
So, despite his threats that he would not certify the deal again, it seems that if the other signatories to the deal continue supporting its implementation, President Trump will have no option but to continue with it. Of course, the best option would be for Congress not to require him to certify it every three months, thus preventing his reluctance to keep certifying it.
If there is goodwill on all sides, it is possible to discuss other contentious issues between Iran and the West under different headings. The Iranian government has repeatedly stated that it intended the nuclear deal to be the floor, not the ceiling of agreements with the West. There are many issues on which Iran can cooperate with the West, such as the war against terrorism, helping to stabilize the situation in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, and also putting pressure on Saudi Arabia to put an end to the carnage in Yemen and to reach a negotiated settlement of the conflict.

Blackhawks can't hang on to the past anymore
Chicago's dominant days are long over; it's time for the organization to recognize that.
By Dave Melton@DMelt57 Dec 15, 2019, 8:00am CST
Share All sharing options for: Blackhawks can't hang on to the past anymore
Matt Kartozian-USA TODAY Sports
This is what happens when a professional sports franchise tries to hang on to its glory days for too long.
The Blackhawks have devolved into that guy that surfaces every holiday season during a trip to the local dive bar in every small town across the county. You know the one: the guy sitting at the bar, most likely by himself, gleefully telling everyone within earshot about how great of an athlete he used to be, recounting moments that he's remembered but everyone else forgot about.
That's who the Blackhawks are now, the team telling everyone how great they used to be. Need a reminder? Just check the official Blackhawks website, which — as of Saturday night — will greet you with an advertisement for a giveaway as part of a series of promotions for the 10th anniversary of the team's Stanley Cup victory. And the No. 2 article on the site previews the pregame honors being given to a freaking third-liner from that team. A fan favorite? Absolutely — and this article is not meant as a slight at Kris Versteeg. But it feels premature to give him the "One More Shift" treatment only a month and five days removed from him skating for the Blackhawks' AHL team.
There's still time to take the franchise in a different direction from all of that, though.
Stop using the outdated "One Goal" slogan.
Stop playing "Chelsea Dagger" after goals.
And, yeah, stop bringing back 2010-15 players for "One More Shift" — for now.
There will be a time and a place to honor the players from that era, but not while Chicago is in the middle of an organizational spiral into the NHL basement.
Everything related to the Blackhawks dominance of the early 2010s should've been put away after the Predators swept Chicago in the first round of the 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs, a result that triggered a flurry of moves from general manager Stan Bowman in a frantic effort to adjust to an NHL that was starting to leave the Blackhawks behind.
It's not a mistake to hang on to some of the top players from that era, of course. Patrick Kane is still one of the league's most lethal offensive weapons. Corey Crawford may not quite still be in his prime but remains a very good NHL goaltender when playing at his best. Jonathan Toews has looked better in the last 1.25 seasons. Duncan Keith remains a viable NHL defenseman. Brent Seabrook's issues are well documented, but four out of five ain't bad.
But it is a mistake to pretend that era is still alive. And we're getting dangerously close — if we aren't there already — to questioning how much longer the players listed above are going to be around, because that's what happens when eras come to an end. Three championships don't come cheap.
This is not to suggest that everyone must go and that the organization must enter a rebuild. The on-ice future for the Blackhawks is significantly murkier and is going require substantial time to sort out. We'll have time to dive into that.
From an organizational standpoint and from a public relations standpoint, though, the picture should be clear: the "One Goal" era has been dead for more than two years now.
It's time for the Blackhawks organization to acknowledge that and work to save whatever is left of its short and long-term future.


A pro-Trump professor sued New Mexico State University Friday after the school fired him when he refused to return to work after the school rescinded his leave of absence.
Former NMSU business law professor Gavin Clarkson sued the school for wrongful termination, defamation, denial of due process, breach of contract, production of a hostile work environment and discrimination because of his conservative politics, according to a press release obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
NMSU granted the former professor a leave of absence in June 2017 when Clarkson told NMSU he had accepted an appointment as deputy assistant secretary for policy and economic affairs at the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs. In its letter granting the leave, NMSU does not explicitly state that the leave hinged upon the professor's employment at the Department of the Interior.
Clarkson stepped down from his deputy assistant secretary post in December 2017 to pursue a seat in New Mexico's Congressional District No. 2. The former professor announced his candidacy on Jan. 8, 2018. On Jan. 12, the school ordered him to return to teaching Jan. 16.
But Section A of the same policy specifies that the leave must be taken "for the purpose of undertaking some project that will directly benefit the university and the person's professional development," and the university demands that Clarkson return.
When the former professor refused to return, NMSU terminated him in April, offering a condition of reinstatement that hinged on the professor remaining in his campus office during working hours even though Clarkson has no classes or students.

FACIAL FEMINIZATION | Keelee MacPhee, M.D.
Dr. MacPhee performs several procedures, often in combination, to help patients who are transitioning from male to female in achieving their desired feminine facial features.
Known medically as chondrolaryngoplasty, a tracheal shave reduces the size of the Adam's apple in trans women. This common procedure involves shaving down the thyroid cartilage through a small incision in the crease under the chin. The scar is well hidden, and the procedure has no impact on the patient's voice.
Foreheads bossing can be an obvious gender marker, with men often having a ridge of bone around the upper eye sockets and a more sloping angle of the forehead. For a trans woman, re-contouring the forehead is a common way to achieve a more feminine facial structure. A prominent, protruding forehead can be reshaped in a surgical procedure known as forehead contouring, which involves shaving and surgically altering the bones.
