Als Reiseveranstalter () gilt, wer Reisenden mindestens eine Leistung zur Durchführung einer Reise erbringt.

Allgemeines
Der Rechtsbegriff des Reiseveranstalters kommt im Reiserecht sehr häufig vor, eine Legaldefinition wird jedoch nicht (mehr) angeboten. In  Abs. 1 BGB wird er beim Reisevertrag als Vertragspartner des Reisenden präsentiert. Reiseveranstalter bieten sowohl im Massentourismus Pauschalreisen als auch im Individualtourismus Individualreisen an. Ihr Angebot richtet sich auf beide Reisezwecke aus, der Urlaubsreise und der Dienstreise.

Missverständlich ist das Grundwort "Veranstalter", von dessen Merkmalen lediglich die organisatorische Verantwortung, das unternehmerische Risiko und die Haftung auf Reiseveranstalter zutreffen. Die Durchführung der Veranstaltung obliegt jedoch den vom Reiseveranstalter vermittelten Transportunternehmen, Hotels oder sonstigen Veranstaltern. Zunehmend übernehmen Reiseveranstalter im Rahmen der vertikalen Integration jedoch auch die Rolle von Veranstaltern mit eigenen Fluggesellschaften (TUIfly) oder Hotels (TUI Hotels & Resorts). Reiseveranstalter fassen Reiseleistungen zu touristischen Angeboten zusammen oder kombinieren diese und vertreiben sie über Reisekataloge auf eigene Rechnung und auf eigenes Risiko.

Geschichte
In der Antike und während des Mittelalters organisierten die ersten Reiseveranstalter Pilgerreisen.

Die Auswanderungswellen des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts von Europa in die USA wurden meist von Reedereien organisiert, die die Rolle des Reiseveranstalters übernahmen. So entstand 1839 die British and North American Royal Mail Steam-Packet Company und im Mai 1847 die Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft. Am 5. Juli 1841 organisierte Thomas Cook die Eisenbahnreise von 570 Aktivisten der Abstinenzbewegung von Leicester ins nahegelegene Loughborough zum Sonderpreis von einem Schilling pro Person und galt damit als erster Reiseveranstalter im Zeitalter der Industrialisierung. Es folgten Exkursionen nach Liverpool (1845), Schottland (1846) und zur Weltausstellung in London (1851). Die erste Reise auf das europäische Festland unternahm Cook 1855. Am 17. Mai 1861 organisierte Cook für Arbeiter eine Reise per Bahn und Schiff nach Paris. Erstmals waren darin die Ausgaben für Unterkunft und Verpflegung im Preis inbegriffen (All inclusive). Damit nahmen Pauschalreisen ihren Anfang. Er eröffnete 1865 in London sein erstes Reisebüro.

Alfred Kuoni gründete im April 1906 den später größten Schweizer Reiseveranstalter Kuoni. Erster größerer deutscher Reiseveranstalter der Neuzeit war das im Oktober 1917 gegründete Mitteleuropäische Reisebüro (MER), aus dem im Oktober 1948 die DER hervorging. Das Österreichische Verkehrsbüro entstand im Dezember 1917 und ist heute der größte Touristikkonzern im Land. Es folgte in Deutschland die 1928 von Hubert und Maria Tigges gegründete Dr. Tigges, ein Reiseveranstalter, dessen Programm auf Studienreisen ausgerichtet war. Im November 1951 entstand die von der Bahn AG gegründete Ameropa-Reisen, die sich auf Reisen amerikanischer Soldaten in ihre Heimat spezialisierte. Zu den ersten großen Reiseveranstaltern nach dem Krieg gehörten Touropa (1951 aus der DER hervorgegangen), Hummel (1953) und Scharnow-Reisen (1953), gefolgt von Studiosus Reisen (1954) und Marco Polo Reisen (1956). Im Oktober 1955 folgte die LTU, die als Reiseveranstalter ab 1964 durch "Transair LTU" und ab 1980 durch "Meier's Weltreisen" als Reiseveranstalter tätig wurde. Die Deutsche Flugdienst GmbH (ab November 1961: Condor Flugdienst) startete im Dezember 1955, Quelle Reisen folgte 1962, Neckermann Reisen 1963, TUI übernahm 1968 Dr. Tigges.

Im November 1970 gründete die Kaufhof AG die ITS Reisen, die 1995 von der Rewe Group übernommen wurde. Alltours entstand im Januar 1974, im Jahre 1976 übernahm Karstadt die Neckermann Reisen. Im Jahre 1983 entstand die FTI Group als "Frosch Touristik". Kuoni ging im September 2015 an die deutsche Rewe Group über. Die größten Reiseveranstalter Österreichs sind heute Alltours, Eurotours International, FTI Austria, Jumbo/Ruefa und REWE Austria.

Arten
Im Hinblick auf ihre Betriebsgröße dominieren die Anbieter von Pauschalreisen auf dem Massenmarkt. Daneben hat sich in der Reisebranche auch eine ganze Reihe von Spezialreiseveranstaltern auf einem Nischenmarkt etabliert. So haben sich manche Unternehmen etwa auf Studien-, Sprach-, Jugend- oder Expeditionsreisen spezialisiert. Einige Anbieter legen ihren Schwerpunkt auf Flug-, andere auf Busreisen. Auch gibt es Nischenanbieter für bestimmte Länder und Erdteile. Es existiert auch ein Klassenmarkt, auf dem Luxusreisen und Luxushotels angeboten werden (etwa Secret Escapes). Diverse Online-Preisvergleichsportale vereinen verschiedene Anbieter und bieten Filtermöglichkeiten.

Rechtsfragen
In § 651a Abs. 2 BGB a. F. wurde der Reiseveranstalter definiert als "natürliche oder juristische Person, welche eine Reise in eigener Verantwortung organisiert, anbietet und erbringt". Eine gewerbliche Tätigkeit oder eine gewisse Häufigkeit ist nicht erforderlich, so dass auch Gelegenheitsveranstalter wie Schulträger, Jugendverbände oder Vereine darunter fallen, wenn die Teilnahme an der Reise jedermann durch Beitritt möglich ist. Reiseveranstalter ist auch, wer lediglich eine einzige Reiseleistung erbringen lässt (etwa lediglich einen Flug); erst recht gelten als Reiseveranstalter Unternehmen, die bei einer Pauschalreise oder bei verbundenen Reiseleistungen mehrere Teilleistungen zusammenfügen.

Im Reisevertrag verpflichtet sich nach  BGB der Reiseveranstalter, dem Reisenden eine Gesamtheit von Reiseleistungen (Reise) zu erbringen. Als Gegenleistung ist der Reisende verpflichtet, dem Reiseveranstalter den vereinbarten Reisepreis zu zahlen. Der Reiseveranstalter ist gemäß  Abs. 1 BGB verpflichtet, die Reise so zu erbringen, dass sie die zugesicherten Eigenschaften hat und nicht mit Fehlern behaftet ist, die den Wert oder die Tauglichkeit zu dem gewöhnlichen oder nach dem Vertrag vorausgesetzten Nutzen aufheben oder mindern. Bei Pauschalreisen haftet der Reiseveranstalter gemäß Reisevertrag verschuldensunabhängig für Reisemängel ( BGB), geregelt sind die beidseitigen Kündigungs- und Rücktrittsrechte vor Reiseantritt und während der Reise, die Ansprüche des Reisenden aus Minderung des Reisepreises, Schadensersatz, Aufwendungsersatz oder Abhilfe.

Der Reiseveranstalter hat nach  Abs. 1 BGB sicherzustellen, dass dem Reisenden der gezahlte Reisepreis erstattet wird, soweit im Fall der Zahlungsunfähigkeit des Reiseveranstalters Reiseleistungen ausfallen oder der Reisende im Hinblick auf erbrachte Reiseleistungen Zahlungsaufforderungen von Leistungserbringern nachkommt, deren Entgeltforderungen der Reiseveranstalter nicht erfüllt hat. Diese Verpflichtungen kann der Reiseveranstalter nur erfüllen durch eine Versicherung bei einem zum Geschäftsbetrieb befugten Versicherungsunternehmen oder durch ein Zahlungsversprechen eines zum Geschäftsbetrieb befugten Kreditinstituts (Reisesicherungsschein).

Der Reiseveranstalter ist meist auch Herausgeber eines Reisekatalogs über die von ihm angebotenen Reisen, in den er auch den Vorbehalt einer Anpassung des Reisepreises gemäß  Abs. 2 PAngV aufnehmen darf.

Wirtschaftliche Aspekte
Reiseveranstalter kombinieren die Teilleistungen einzelner Leistungsträger zum Produkt der Pauschalreise oder Bausteinreise und bieten diese unter eigenem Namen und Risiko an. Wichtigste Aufgaben sind die Koordination einzelner Teilleistungen (Hinreise/Hotel/Sightseeing/Abreise) innerhalb der Reisedauer und die Planung der Reiseketten. Bei letzteren wird zwischen dem Vorlauf (die Fahrt von der Wohnung zum Bahnhof, Flughafen oder Hafen), Hauptlauf (Bahnreise, Busreise, Flugreise, Schiffsreise) und dem Nachlauf (vom Ankunftsbahnhof, -flughafen oder -hafen zum Hotel) unterschieden.

Im Gegensatz zum traditionellen Reiseveranstalter sind beim vertikal integrierten Reiseveranstalter mehrere Stufen der Wertschöpfung zu einer Wertschöpfungskette in einem Unternehmen vereint, indem er selbst Fluggesellschaften oder Hotels betreibt. Er kann dann die Produkt- und Dienstleistungsqualität besser steuern, indem er beispielsweise eigene Hotels so betreibt, dass die sonst üblichen Beschwerden entfallen und die Kundenzufriedenheit steigern. Er macht sich dabei Größenvorteile zunutze, die das Gesetz der Massenproduktion befolgen und letztlich durch Skaleneffekte zu Wettbewerbsvorteilen führen.

Eine horizontale Integration findet durch die Erweiterung des bisherigen Produktprogramms um verwandte Produkte für tendenziell die gleiche Kundschaft statt. So haben manche Reiseveranstalter ab 1999 ihre Reisekataloge um Wellnessreisen erweitert.

Abgrenzung
Für die Abgrenzung zwischen Reiseveranstalter und Reisevermittler sind die Regelung nach § 651a Abs. 2 BGB und die Sicht des Reisenden maßgeblich (§ BGB,  BGB).
 Ein Reiseveranstalter erbringt die im Reisevertrag versprochene Gesamtheit von Reiseleistungen selbst oder bedient sich zur Erfüllung seiner Verpflichtungen gegenüber dem Reisenden Erfüllungsgehilfen (Leistungsträger).
 Ein Reisevermittler vermittelt Reiseverträge zwischen Reiseveranstaltern und Reisenden. Er berät Kunden und leitet die Buchung ordnungsgemäß an den Reiseveranstalter weiter.
 Ein Reisebüro ist ein Unternehmen der Reisebranche, das als Reisevermittler in der Touristik zwischen Reiseveranstalter und Reisendem tätig ist. Es kann auch selbst Reisen veranstalten und somit als Reiseveranstalter auftreten.
 Ein virtueller Reiseveranstalter kauft im Gegensatz zu einem klassischen Reiseveranstalter die Bestandteile einer Pauschalreise (Flug, Hotelbetten, Transfers etc.) nicht fest und vor Buchung ein, sondern stellt diese nach den Wünschen der Kunden online zu einem Reisepaket (siehe auch: Paketreiseveranstalter) zusammen, dabei haftet der virtuelle Reiseveranstalter im Falle der Überbuchungen oder Flugausfälle. Ein virtueller Reiseveranstalter verzichtet auf gedruckte Kataloge und bietet seine Produkte internetbasiert über Web-Portale ohne Beratung an. Damit schaffen virtuelle Reiseveranstalter ein größeres und vor allem preis-flexibleres Produktportfolio für den Kunden.
Ein Reisebüro/Reisevermittler vermittelt in der Regel ein Reiseangebot eines Reiseveranstalters, denn es werden fremde Reiseleistungen im Namen anderer und auf fremde Rechnung dem Reisenden vermittelt. Die Durchführung der Reise obliegt dem Vermittler dagegen nicht.

The Boston Celtics are playing tough defense, as usual. Just not for the entire game, and it's costing them.
Amir Johnson made two free throws with 2.7 seconds left, Andrea Bargnani scored 29 points and the host Toronto Raptors snapped an eight-game losing streak to the Celtics with a 102-101 victory Sunday.
Paul Pierce's shot bounced off the rim as the buzzer sounded, giving Toronto its first victory against Boston since a 114-112 road win on Jan. 23, 2008.
Boston, which lost 89-84 at home to Oklahoma City on Friday, suffered consecutive defeats for the first time this season.
Johnson had 17 points and 11 rebounds, Sonny Weems scored 16, Leandro Barbosa had 12 and Jose Calderon 11 for the Raptors, who have won a season-high three straight. Reggie Evans finished with 16 rebounds and a season-high nine points.
Nate Robinson led Boston with a season-high 22 points, Pierce and Ray Allen each had 19 and Garnett and Glenn Davis both scored 12.
The Raptors led 82-75 to begin the fourth and extended their lead to 93-81 on a 3-pointer by Barbosa with just over nine minutes left.
Hornets 75, Kings 71: David West had 17 points, and Trevor Ariza added 16 to help New Orleans improve to 11-1 with a victory over host Sacramento. The Hornets have won three straight to match San Antonio for the best record in the NBA. Donte Greene had 15 points and 10 rebounds for Sacramento.
Pistons 115, Wizards 110: Richard Hamilton scored 12 of his 27 points in overtime in host Detroit's victory over Washington. Wizards rookie star John Wall missed his fourth straight game because of a sprained left foot.
Heat: An MRI performed on Udonis Haslem, Miami's leading rebounder, confirmed he tore a ligament in his left foot during the fourth quarter of a loss in Memphis on Saturday night. He will see a specialist today, and surgery — which could keep him out months instead of weeks — remains an option.
Iverson update: Allen Iverson scored two points in his Turkish league debut for Besiktas Cola Turka in a 74-67 defeat to defending champion Fenerbahce Ulker.


Do you have files (documents, videos, pictures, audio, etc.) or folders that contain sensitive, confidential or personal content or information and don't want other people to have access to these files? Then you should password protect (encrypt) your secret files and folders and this tutorial will show you step by step how to do this in a few different easy ways using free software in Windows, a free app on Android and in Linux Mint and Ubuntu.
This tutorial will also show you how to encrypt your files and folders and hide them inside audio files (songs) which can be played on every music player (like the character Elliot does in the tv series Mr.Robot).
Encryption is the process of encoding data in such a way that only people who have a secret key or password can access it.
Encryption is the most effective and safe way to protect your sensitive, confidential or personal data because you will need a secret key or password to decrypt an encrypted file or folder.
When you encrypt your files or folders, you can securely store your data on your computer, USB device or even send by email.

VANCOUVER, CANADA, January 9, 2018 - Avigilon Corporation ("Avigilon") (TSX: AVO), provider of trusted security solutions, today announced that it was selected to help protect Megabangna Shopping Centre (the "Centre") in Samutprakarn, Thailand, Southeast Asia's largest low-rise shopping centre.
At 4 million square feet, the Centre is one of Thailand's largest retail complexes, comprising over 840 retail shops and 10,000 parking spots. To enhance safety and help prevent retail losses, the Centre has installed a full Avigilon surveillance solution with more than 500 Avigilon cameras, including HD Bullet, HD Dome and HD Multisensor cameras, Avigilon network video recorders, Avigilon video encoders, and Avigilon Control Center (ACC) video management software. With the success of the security solutions implemented, the Centre has also deployed Avigilon's security solutions in its new carpark building.
Avigilon HD Multisensor cameras were selected because of their exceptional image quality and flexible design that capture multiple angles up to 360 degrees of the Centre's busy open areas, helping to maximize scene coverage and minimize blind spots. Combined with the advanced search functions of ACC, the Centre's security operators have the ability to conduct fast video searches and accurate investigations when an incident has occurred.
Figure 1. Megabangna Shopping Centre installed a complete Avigilon surveillance solution to enhance safety at its 4 million square foot retail complex.
Established in 2008, SF Development Co., Ltd ("SFD") is a joint venture of Ikano, Siam Future Development PLC, and SPS Group. SFD owns and manages Megabangna Shopping Centre and recently started its Mix Use development so called Megacity. Megabangna has approximately 3.5 million visitors per month and has been at 100% occupancy rate since its opening in 2012.


The competition for the Yankees' starting second-base position may have gained another entrant.
MLB Network insider Jon Heyman reported on Friday that the Yanks have signed utility man Jace Peterson to a Minor League deal. The contract will be worth $900,000, plus incentives, if Peterson makes the Major League roster. The club has not confirmed the deal.
The identity of the Yankees' Opening Day second baseman remains unanswered after the team traded Starlin Castro to the Marlins as part of their blockbuster deal for Giancarlo Stanton. MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reported on Thursday that Gleyber Torres, ranked as the No. 2 overall prospect by MLB Pipeline, is expected to be fully recovered from Tommy John surgery by Spring Training, and he figures to be a lead candidate. Miguel Andujar, Thairo Estrada, Ronald Torreyes and Tyler Wade are additional second-base candidates identified by Yankees general manager Brian Cashman this offseason.
Now Peterson figures to enter that mix. The Louisiana native appeared in 89 games for the Braves in 2017, spending time at six positions in both the infield and outfield while batting .215 with a .635 OPS and two home runs in 215 plate appearances. Peterson was Atlanta's full-time second baseman in 2015, hitting .239 with a .649 OPS and collecting 34 extra-base hits.
A first-round pick of the Padres in the 2011 Draft, Peterson is a career .234 hitter over parts of four big league seasons with 15 home runs and 98 RBIs.


In 2012, the newspaper's ownership was transferred from the CPI(M) to a society. In 2018, the ownership was again transferred to a trust.
Hearing the writ petition Chief Justice Ajay Rastogi stayed the District Magistrate's order and order resumption of the newspaper.
GUWAHATI: High court of Tripura on Wednesday stayed the order passed by District Magistrate, West Tripura for stopping publication of CPI (M) mouthpiece Daily Desher Katha.
Registrar of Newspaper (RNI) has citedunauthorized change of ownership as the reason for withdrawal of Registration.
The District magistrate's order had stated that place of publication, name of printing press and name of publisher of Daily Deshar katha have not match in the RNI record and declaration in the newspaper. Ahead of last assembly election early this year, ownership of the newspaper was changed without informing RNI.


ToSIA webpage http://tosia.efi.int will be unaccessible on 27th and 28th of November, 2013 due to server move.
The forest industry is global, and so must be also forestry research. Lars Wilhelmsson and Jan Fryk from Skogforsk were present at the jubilee conference of the European Forest Institute in Nancy, France.
Skogsforsk was there when the EFI (European Forest Institute) celebrated 20 years of existence with a conference in Nancy, France, on 24-26 September. EFI - which is directed from the Finnish city of Joensuu and has members in 32 countries - was inaugurated in 1993 and is thus as old as Skogforsk.
Over the 20 years of EFI's existence, the number of member organizations has grown to over 130 and the employees to over 150 people, spread across Europe. The Institute has also established several regional research centers, covering different parts of the European forests.
Skogforsk was involved right from the start, and continued to support EFI more or less actively during the whole time. Jan Fryk, who along with Lars Wilhelmsson represented Skogforsk in Nancy, highlighted EFI's important role as the forest's voice in the EU context. EFI took part in the work to develop a proposal for a forest scientific platform (Forest Technology Platform, FTP). It in turn contributed to forest issues were given a greater weight in the EU framework research. Skogforsk had a very active role in this work.
Another important link between Forestry Research and EFI is about the followup of the successful EU project EFORWOOD, which was coordinated by Skogforsk. The project developed ToSIA tool, which is used to analyze the sustainability of different forest wood chains. ToSIA is now managed by EFI, but "fed" regularly with new knowledge. There Skogforsk is , represented by Staffan Berg, one of the key members.
EFI conducts its own research, but above all, the Institute has a coordinating and initiating role for research collaborations within the EU. Another, perhaps more important function is to be the carrier of information between research, policy and decision makers at European level. It is about making sure that both national and international decisions affecting forests are based on a scientific basis.
Trees4Future is an Integrative European Research Infrastructure project that aims to integrate, develop and improve major forest genetics and forestry research infrastructures. Trees4Future with a budget of 9 million euro is coordinated by INRA (Dr. Luc E. Pâques: luc.paques@inra.fr) and Alterra (Dr. Gert-Jan Nabuurs: gert-jan.nabuurs@wur.nl). Trees4Future runs for 4-years and it includes as part of its work program a platform for accessing a great number of useful databases, decision-support systems etc which are generously offered free of charge but subject to application!
ToSIA is one of the tools offered for short or more extensive trainings. Trees4Future: Your gateway to accessing forest research facilities in Europe. Take advantage of the expertise, services and data offered by Trees4future – free of charge!
Goal: The participants feel familiar with the tool, and have had the experience of making and running their own chains.
3rd TMUG Assembly will take place 8 Feb 2012 in Joensuu.
More information about this has been sent to TMUG members.


A couple of days ago I was scrolling through Twitter when I saw a tweet from Primark, advertising a meet and greet with Amanda Steele at the Freehold Mall. I figured I should go since it was so close to home, not to mention Amanda is absolutely gorgeous.
My best friend Bri and I went to meet her two days later, and it was pretty cute! We only had to wait like an hour and a half, and she was so sweet.
She was very nice and seemed like she was genuinely excited to be there, which is unlike a lot of the meet and greets I've been to.
After we took our pictures, the Refinery29 and Primark workers who were running the event handed us a signed Primark tote, as well as a $25 gift card!
All in all, it was really fun to meet her! We got some cute pictures, and a gift card. That's a good day in my book.

Their entrance into the Promise Land through the Jordan River.
The ominous word "BUT" introduces us to Joshua chapter 7. Achan had sinned and as a result Israel would experience a humiliating defeat in the next battle.
The Devil does more damage from WITH-IN our churches than from WITH-OUT.
The Devil does more damage from WITH-IN our homes than from WITH-OUT.
The Devil does more damage from WITH-IN our lives than from WITH-OUT.
From Joshua 7, let me call your attention to SIX things. As each point begins with the letter "D" they will be easy to remember.
The word "accursed" means "ban for destruction."
Everything and everyone was to be destroyed with fire, except for Rahab and her family along with all the silver and gold and bronze was to be given unto the Lord.
Following Israel's victory at Jericho, Joshua sent a small group of men against the city Ai with disastrous results. What happened?
We know it to be the root problem of HIDDEN SIN in the camp of Israel. But there are some surface problems too.
They not only misjudged the number of warriors at Ai, they also failed to remember it was God who had given them the victory at Jericho. It was not their wisdom or strategies; rather it was God who engineered the victory. Proverbs 16:18 tells us, "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." They developed self-confidence and lost their God-confidence.
There is no experience in Christian living so full of danger as the rush of spiritual victory. Yesterday's victories do not make a believer immune from today's defeats.
Someone said, "There is no moment, so perilous as when for the first time in the Christian life, you have experienced victory from sin. At such time we begin to take pride in ourselves, and to boast that our own arm saved us.
Let me remind you what I have to remind myself all the time from Ephesians 6:10, "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God …" and I add that is for today and all of the tomorrows.
Herein is another reason for Israel's failure. Not only was there sin in the camp and self-confidence, there was also a NEGLECT OF PRAYER. Joshua fails to go back to Gilgal and wait upon God.
Someone said, "FAILURE TO PRAY ALWAYS MAKES US INSENSITIVE TO SIN." Another said, "If you pray in time of victory you will never have to plead in time of defeat."
Verse 11 delivers a very powerful statement, "Israel hath sinned, and … transgressed my covenant which I commanded them…" In verses 11-12 the Lord answers Joshua directly and to the point. Then in verses 13-15, rather than identify the culprit Achan directly, God give Joshua two instructions.
Number 1: The people were to SANTIFY themselves. Everyone was to set themselves apart for self-examination.
It was one man's sin, but it had an effect on the entire nation.
It may be one's man sin in the church, but it affected the entire congregation.
It may be one family member who sins, but it will have an effect upon the entire family.
Number 2: A fourfold process of Examination was required. It began with each TRIBE, continued through each FAMILY in that tribe, then to each HOUSEHOLD in the family, and finally on to each MAN in that household in order to find the guilty person.
In the Old Testament, the casting of lots was done to determine the mind of the Lord. In Proverbs 16:33 we read, "The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord."
The High Priest in Israel wore a BREASTPLATE of JUDGMENT, wherein were two stones called the URIN and THURIN. These stones indicated the answer of yes or no to the will and direction of God.
The last time this method was used in the Bible was in the Book of Acts, when the apostles were choosing a successor to Judas.
When the tribe of Judah is taken, Achan begins to become uncomfortable as Joshua starts with each family of the tribe of Judah. Like poor Achan, have you ever felt TRAPPED; knowing you are guilty as you say to yourself, I wish I hadn't saw, coveted and took?
First, God wanted Israel to never FORGET the process! As each lot fell and as each TRIBE, FAMILY, and HOUSEHOLD was identified, all Israel would have a chance to think about the SERIOUSNESS of violating God's commandments.
Second, I believe God, in His divine LOVE and MERCY, was once again offering a way of escape to a man who had disobeyed Him. In Achan's situation it seems God was giving him time, as He did for the people of Jericho, to confess and truly repent of his sin. Only after Achan's back was to the wall did he finally CONFESS. He had no choice. His confession was forced.
The tragic result was death to his whole household. Achan had sinned the sin unto death. Truly, "the wages of sin is death."
Looking back over Joshua chapter 7, there are some valuable lessons to be learned.
Number 1: Be sure your sin will find you out.
You may be indifferent about how you live, however, remember this, "Whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap." You may be even hiding some secret sin, but remember this, "Sin is the greatest of all detectives, be sure your sin will find you out." Nobody can hide from God.
Jeremiah 23:24 says, "Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord."
In Ecclesiastes 12:14 we read, "For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."
My friends, if you are harboring some sin in your life, do not be so FOOLISH to believe God does not know the secret of your heart. That sin still carries the medium of exchange that trades in SORROW, DISILLUSIONMENT and DEATH.
Number 2: Sin brings defeat and death. May I remind you, "That the pleasures of sin are for a moment, but its wages are for eternity. Sin has its petty beginning, but it has an ugly ending – the smell of death." James 1:12 says to us, "Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."
Why are many of God's people living in spiritual DEFEAT, no JOY, no VICTORY, no BLESSING in their Christian experience? Is it not because of unconfessed sin?
Why are our families not seeing REVIVAL? Instead, they are reaping defeat and even death. Could it be because of some unconfessed sin in the life of a father or a mother?
Why are our churches not experiencing REVIVAL? Could it be because of unconfessed sin within that congregation? Could it be bitterness, anger, lying, immorality, back-biting, or some other undisclosed sin that is within our midst?
Number 3: Even though one person sins, the entire family will suffer. Notice again in verse 1 these words, "But the children of Israel committed a trespass … for Achan … tool of the accursed thing…" In verse 11 God said "Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant…" In verses 24-25, Achan and all his family were stoned to death. Never underestimate the damage one person can do outside the will of God.
David's disobedience by taking an unauthorized census led to the death of 70,000 people.
Jonah's refusal to obey God almost sank a ship.
The Corinthian's were admonished in I Corinthians 5 to discipline the disobedient man in their fellowship, because his sin was defiling the whole church.
The church today must look diligently as Hebrew 12:15 tells, "lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and by it many be defiled."
I trust this will be written onto the tablet of your heart by the Holy Spirit, "When one member of a family or when one member of a church is guilty before God, THE COLLECTIVE VERDICT FROM HEAVEN IS "MY PEOPLE HAVE SINNED."
No individual Christian can sin without affecting the whole church.
No child of God can grow cold in his spiritual life without lowering the temperature of everyone else around him.
No parent can live in sin without having the results affect the entire family.
The victory of the whole church depends on the victorious life of every individual church member. Do not think you can be lost in the crowd and be forgotten.
The witness of the Green Street Baptist Chapel to the Glory of God is AFFECTED BY THE TESTIMONY OF EVERY ONE OF US. May I repeat that statement? The witness of the Green Street Baptist Chapel to the Glory of God is AFFECTED BY THE TESTIMONY OF EVERY ONE OF US!
The three crucial steps in Achan's sin are familiar; he SAW, he COVETED, he TOOK.
First: Achan's first mistake was to LOOK A SECOND TIME at the "spoils." He probably could not help seeing them the first time, but looking the second time led to coveting. It was the SECOND LOOK that led to sin.
Second: Achan's second mistake was to RECLASSIFY those treasures and call them "spoils," verse 21. They were not spoils. They did not belong to Achan. They belonged to God. Today in our desire to cover over sin we have reclassified sin.
It is no longer a drunkard, it's now a disease.
It is no longer adultery, it's now an affair.
We have no right to change the title of what God calls SIN.
Third: Achan's third mistake was to THINK HE COULD GET AWAY WITH HIS SIN by hiding the loot. Oh, how foolish for Achan to think God could not see what he was doing, when as Hebrews 4:13 tells us, "…all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do."
Are you guilty of Achan's sin, robbing God of the TITHE? If you have God's money burning in your pocket and you keep it, you are as guilty as Achan was here in Joshua 7.
After you have sinned, "WHAT NEXT"? When we commit a sin, the most important thing is what we do next.
If we lose our temper and say something cruel to a family member, what do we do next?
If we mistreat a co-worker, what do we do next?
If we are dwelling on evil thoughts, what do we do next?
If we steal the tithe, what do we do next?
To make excuses justifying our behavior, to blame the other person, or to ignore God is only to add more sin to the first sin. The night before Jesus was crucified, two of his disciples turned against Him.
Judas betrayed Christ; Peter denied Him. But the difference in what they did next was enormous. Peter wept tears of repentance; Judas hanged himself.
In Psalm 139:23-24 we read, "Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts; And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."
In I John 1:9 we read, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
If God has spoken to your heart, after reading the sermon "Sin in the Camp brings Defeat and Death" right now talk to God about what He has spoken to you.

This mutual fund gave 26 times returns in 17 years, investors were rewarded
November 1, 2019 admin Business, Company, Latest News 0
It is generally believed that mutual funds are very safe and give a return of 12-15 percent annually in a radius. But the multi-asset fund category of mutual fund company ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund has given a return of 26 times to investors in 17 years, rejecting this claim. That is, if someone had invested one lakh rupees at the time of its founding, then it became 26 lakh rupees in 17 years.
According to the Economics data, if someone had lumped Rs 10 lakh in it 17 years ago, that amount has gone up to Rs 2.6 crore today while in the same period its amount has been just Rs 1.5 crore in its benchmark Nifty 50 index. ICICI Prudential has proved to be a better product in the multi asset category. The management of this fund, introduced on 31 October 2002, was led by noted fund manager S.K. Naren does. Since inception, the fund has given a CAGR rate of 21.32 per cent and investor confidence remains in it.
In fact, investors should have a strategic asset allocation mix, ie, a balanced, structured portfolio that performs better in different environments. The Multi Asset category invests 10–80 per cent in equities, 10–35 per cent in debt, 10–35 per cent in gold and gold ETFs, 0–10 per cent in writ and invites. Multi asset means investing in all assets. According to Arthaabha's data, if someone had done a monthly SIP of Rs 10,000 in the multi asset of iPru since 2002, then this amount has increased to Rs 99.53 lakh while the investment amount has been just Rs 20.4 lakh.
The above returns are possible because the scheme has a multi-cap outlook on its equity investment. This means that equity allocation occurs in all market cycles i.e. large, mid and small cap are included based on the respective valuation. Also, the scheme invests in stocks and sectors that are not popular but outperform in the long term. The scheme has never given a negative return in a period of 5, 10 years.

A Halloween Soldier
October 21, 2010 October 26, 2010 Michael Turpin1 Comment
Clothes make a statement. Costumes tell a story. ~Mason Cooley
In a time before litigation and neighborhood watch programs conspired to elevate Halloween mischief into misdemeanors, All Hallows Night stirred the delinquent within every kid. What is now called vandalism was once labeled "rascalism." October 31st marked the first pearl in a delicious string of holidays – spaced gratefully over two months – allowing just enough time for a kid to recover from overindulgence or regain privileges that were perhaps lost for some silly misunderstanding such as hitting a public bus with an egg. It was a night fueled by sugar and poor judgment.
I had declared Halloween costumes as "stupid" at the sage age of eleven opting instead to don my father's oversized, olive-green army jacket with its deep pockets and durable, double stitched woolen lining. The coat was a talisman of good fortune having missed the Korean War, endured two years of officer candidate school and survived one angry gunnery NCO from Alabama who hated ROTC-trained second lieutenants. It was warm, twilight camouflage when one needed to elude a parent, patrol car or older kid with dark intentions. Best of all, it carried my surname, "TURPIN", tattooed in indelible military font on its white lapel. My father considered me as I prepared to go out into the night, "That's not much of a costume! You need some fake blood and bullet holes." I rolled my eyes. Parents were such losers.
My friends and I would begin discussing Halloween plans in September. We were filled with bravado as we meticulously planned a mission whose success would be measured in pounds of candy, shattered pumpkins and ounces of shaving cream released on unwitting victims. To venture into a Halloween night in the 1970s was a risky business. You must be armed and ready to rumble at a moment's notice.
The standard issue weapon of choice for an All Hallows infantryman was shaving cream. We started by purchasing several cans of highly pressurized Gillette's "The Hot One" self heating shaving cream. It was the closest thing one could get to canned napalm. Many of us modified our weapons, creatively improving their accuracy and reach by inserting a sewing needle into the inch high nozzle. We would melt plastic around the pin, waiting to remove the pin once the nozzle's tip had cooled. The result was a microscopic hole from which the shaving cream would release – producing a highly pressurized stream of heated cream that could reach as far as ten feet.
When one was doused with The Hot One, one would experience a gradual burning sensation as the cream began to rise in temperature. The Hot One was your pepper spray of choice – and the only weapon in your arsenal designed to discourage the local wildlife. If all went well, your larger assailant intent on stealing your booty would be writhing on the ground while you made good your escape into the suburban midnight
I was determined this year to prove myself as the most reckless of pranksters – – the stupid guy willing to throw the smoke bomb into the police station or pump three eggs into the side of a bus. Yet, I was all bravado and no bite – a brash paper tiger that was more afraid of my father's belt than peer humiliation. Like the soldier in Red Badge of Courage, I wondered what I would do when faced with the elephant of combat, would I run or man up and emerge the hero. Perhaps my coat would give me the courage that I suspected that I lacked.
The early part of that Halloween evening fell into cool, purple twilight. The heat of the Indian summer day was receding and pockets of autumn air rushed down the residential streets. Daylights savings had run its course. The early evening was the safest time to move openly from house to house. We were typical smartalecks and often grabbed handfuls of tiny Tootsie rolls as the nice elderly lady urged us to just take one piece to leave some for the other children. Behind her, her curmudgeonly husband would scowl. He was most likely a WWII veteran and was disgusted that I was defiling an US Army officer's coat. "So, what are you? A Soldier?" he asked sarcastically. " No, he's a bee keeper" quipped one of my more disrespectful friends. (Laughter) The older man shook his head as he confronted the decline of America's youth and returned to Walter Cronkite.
As youth filled twilight yielded to a more adult sinister night, Jack-o-lantern candles dimmed and the manicured lawns and sidewalks emptied of all but a few shadowy stragglers rushing toward a warm fire and a candied feeding frenzy. We now moved into deeper waters of consequence – a submarine wolf pack in search of a bloated merchant Cadillac or a defenseless gas guzzling station wagon.
A van pulsing with loud music suddenly broke the silence, skirting around a corner and splashing us with an uneven jerk of halogen headlights. Gratefully, the suspicious vehicle raced past us, revving its 300 hp, eight-cylinder engines. Someone inside the van yelled something incomprehensible at us. What is it with boys that the smallest kid in your group always feels compelled to throw the first punch or in this case, return the presumed insult?
It is hard to describe the terror a kid feels when a van packed with older teens suddenly hits its demon red brake lights and makes a U-Turn. My friend and I had the good fortune of being next to a long private driveway and retreated into the dark while the rest of our group scattered in a flowering burst of panic. The van sped past us chasing two of the more slovenly members of our group. The doors and windows of the car were now open and we could see teens hanging out manically whooping like wild Indians. No where in our meticulous planning had we made provisions for this Little Big Horn. I suddenly remembered my own eggs resting like pinned grenades in my coat. I turned to my accomplice. He nodded, somehow reading my mind that this hiding place gave us perfect cover and that a direct hit with the eggs might distract the van long enough to allow our friends to make their escape.
In rapid fire succession, we launched five eggs – two of which thumped against the back of the van – causing it to slam on its brakes. There was a moment of confused debate. The van was a raging bull uncertain where to charge. As we hesitated and ducked behind the safety of a high wall, a pair of flood lights flashed on from an adjacent garage. Our hiding place had been revealed.
We bolted out on to the asphalt road where the van began to give chase. We stopped, heaving for air and stood perfectly still inside a tangled juniper bush. The van slowly moved down the street and idled like a Tiger tank. We could overhear arguing inside the vehicle. It suddenly peeled off into the night. My thoroughly shaken partner offered to have his parents drive me home. I declined – figuring if someone's parents drove me home that my mother would suspect that I had thrown eggs at cars – which I had.
As my buddy melted into the darkness, I smiled triumphantly and moved up the street, keeping to the shadows. As I prepared to cross our town's main drive, the van from hell suddenly reappeared. I heard someone yell, "Get that kid!"
I sprinted across light traffic and made it to the south side of the street. As I wheeled around the corner and across the lawn of neighbor, I had forgotten about a stiff wire that had been anchored to brace an ancient live oak tree. The wire rose out of the ground at a 45 degree angle and reached ten feet up to the middle trunk of the oak. Another wire braced it from the side of the house. The rigid wire was exactly the height of my face and as I turned the corner to sprint across the wet grass, the ½" thick wire struck me directly in the face.
It must have looked as if I had been shot by a high-powered rifle as my legs carried in front of me and my head flew backwards. I was completely horizontal when I hit the grass. I lay motionless. The van pulled up and I could hear the teens inside talking in low tones. I heard, "dude, I think he's dead." As was, and still is the case with most teens when confronted with a sudden need to think clearly, they panicked and drove off.
The bridge of my nose was now bleeding and I had a diagonal bruise across my nose and forehead. I staggered home the two final blocks not caring if I was caught out in the open. I was finished with being the troublemaker. It was hazardous duty. I would have preferred to have been home, eating my little brother's candy and watching "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."
I walked in the door and my dad, working in his study, glanced up at me. Outside, a van rumbled slowly past our house like a Vietnam Delta patrol boat. He took one look – bloody face, mud stained army jacket and massive diagonal welt. He smiled, "Now that's a costume!"

Summers With Lampwick
July 9, 2010 September 14, 2010 Michael Turpin1 Comment
Image by armadillo444 via Flickr
"Juvenile delinquency is a modern term for what we did when we were kids" -Anon
My mother called them, "Lampwicks".
She ascribed this sobriquet to any of our friends who exhibited anti-social tendencies. She seemed to have a sixth sense about boys and almost mystically understood which kid would be most likely to become Chief Justice or a ward of the criminal justice system. "Lampwick" was the name of the truant, ne'er-do-well, delinquent kid who befriended Pinocchio as the two "boys" were swept off by the dark shadows of temptation to a seeming adolescent paradise called, "Pleasure Island."
In this land of youthful hedonism, there were no adults and a cornocopia of self indulgent choices – – shooting pool, staying out past curfew, smoking cigars, damaging public property, eating candy and exhibiting limited common sense. Lampwick was Disney's and every suburban picket fence parent's poster child for the "wrong" kind of companion.
Each town had its Lampwicks – the habitual class clowns, east parking lot smokers and reckless free spirits who were on a first name basis with every vice principal and cop in town. While some parents were not up to speed on kids and their transgressions, my mother knew every kid's rap sheet. She knew that people judged a kid by the company he kept. Shady companions could lead you down dark alleys and get you into trouble. It was, after all, out of the sight of parents where bad judgment could take root and blossom into highly regrettable mistakes. The simple act of "borrowing" another kid's bike for a joyride could eventually lead an adolescent to commit mass murder in Kansas for no apparent reason.
Like most matriarchs, she deployed a powerful BS meter that included a lie detector system more sensitive than a Cal Tech seismograph. She could easily distinguish the earnest kid from the obsequious trouble maker. Over time, she simply defaulted to the code word, "Lampwick", as a terminal judgment – forever branding any undesirable acquaintance that we might try to insinuate into our circle of friends.
Summer was her greatest challenge as we were rudderless ships – – unable to navigate a day pregnant with possibility because we lacked imagination and our closest friends who had left town for family vacations and sleep away camps. With the loss of our approved social circle, we went in search of new confederates. Summer was a season for exploration, experimentation and rite of passage "firsts". July and August meant hot sidewalk days that simmered slowly and dissolved into heavy, woolen nights that would cloak our illicit activities. The grass stayed dry under your bare feet as the evening could never quite reach down enough to find its dew point.
The child of the 70's was not oversubscribed. Summer's primary focus was to find a source of income. To a kid, a job meant financial freedom and spending money. To a parent, work meant less potential idle time for trouble. Inevitably, most kids ended up partially employed and filled long open afternoons in search of water, dangerous liaisons and forbidden things.
Summer meant new things – the kid who just moved to town and did not know a soul, a day camp or a summer school class. Invariably, one would make new "friends". In our house, it might start with an innocent request to spend the night at "James" house. Having never met James, his parents or not knowing whether James was real or on a work furlough program from the California Youth Authority, my mom would insist on meeting and interrogating my new companion. If he passed this simple litmus test, the sleep-over might be redirected to our home where she could carefully size up the child as well as discern the level of engagement from his parents. She would look for signs of absentee parenting – did they call to speak with her about the alleged sleepover? Did the father even bother to slow down the car when he dropped James off? My mother considered the "drop-off" a leading indicator of how active a parent was in managing their child's activities.
Mom understood that the mistral winds of July and August carried on them lost souls and latch-key kids whose absence of supervision was only eclipsed by their complete lack of judgment. They were sirens calling to us with promises of throwing jack knives, shop-lifting from one eyed store owners and staying out all night. They were Lampwicks offering us the chance to bite from a tree laden with forbidden fruit. After all, no one was ever home or sober at Lampwick's house.
My mother's finely tuned antenna could detect any criminal in waiting: the arsonist, extortionist, the joy rider, the daredevil, the school yard bully, the BB gun freak, or the demolition expert. Her thinly veiled, sodium pentothal questioning could disarm any kid into revealing a personality profile that would reliably indicate the probability for a restful summer or a summer full of arrests.
I was in the throes of begging to spend the night at the broken home of a boy I had just met at the community pool. Within a span of 2 hours she had gleaned through her phone tree of friends and a few select questions the fact that the boy's brother was a suspected drug dealer, the house was teeming with teens that had no supervision because the Mom was holding down two jobs while the stay at home grandmother was motionless in the den watching "As The World Turns" in a semi stupor.
How the heck she could gather this much intel in such a short period of time was beyond my comprehension. In a time before police blotters, she always seemed to know before I did which of my friends had broken his arm trying to jump his moto-cross bike off the roof of the school. She knew who had been arrested for shop lifting and who had been disarmed after shooting their Daisy BB gun at cars. As a red-blooded child of adventure, I was starved for the adrenalin rush that only came from being chased or at risk of physical injury. This led to a succession of alliances with boys who my mother had blacklisted for their ingenious ability to break the law and whose parents seemed impotent to stop them.
Through my arsonist friend, Ed, I developed a profound fascination with fire. My budding pyromania and Ed's engineering prowess teamed us up to create the first tennis ball cannon. The device was constructed by hollowing out three metal Wilson tennis ball cans, taping them together and puncturing the base of the bottom can with a ballpoint pen. We would spray copious amounts of lighter fluid into the sides of the three-foot mortar and then shake the lighter fluid to even distribution. We would load the device with a tennis ball soaked in gasoline, leveling the improvised weapon at a predetermined target. A match would be placed against the small pen hole at the base of the bottom can. With an oxygen sucking "whoosh!," a flaming tennis ball would be propelled 500 feet through the silky morning sky.
As the incendiary bomb landed on the neighbor's roof igniting dry leaves, we panicked – scrambling up a trellis in an effort to extinguish the blaze. The home's elderly occupant was suddenly concerned at the sound of reindeer on her roof as she was certain that Christmas was not for several more weeks. A phone call, sirens, an ill-timed leap into another neighbor's garden led to our subsequent "arrest". Hours later, the verdict was delivered – – Ed was given the death sentence of Lampwick.
Despite my mother's best efforts to steer us along a straight path, we could not help but test the boundaries of our suburban cocoon. We once built an elaborate mannequin out of street clothes and dropped it off a bridge into the path of an oncoming car. The horrified driver stopped and took our dummy resulting in the loss of clothing and a visit from the police when my friend, Mike realized that his mother had written his name in an indelible marker on his shirt collar and pants.
We pretended to foist an invisible rope that caused cars to screech to a halt. Using surgical tubing and a plastic funnel, we fired water balloons, oranges and eggs with pin-point accuracy at buses, trucks and bicyclists without regard to the damage or risks that would ensue. We once tried to ride our bicycles twenty miles through fenced off sewage culverts.
Invariably, we were ratted out, eye-witnessed, caught, injured, or incapable of out-peddling a police car on our bikes – and subsequently incarcerated. Each kid's parent would inventory the circumstances and promulgate punishments and tighter controls to prevent their child from becoming labeled "delinquent" in our small town.
After my new friend Scott and I got caught stealing bottles from the back of a store so we could turn them to the same store for recycling refunds, my mother had declared enough and forbid me from seeing my friend. I had to call him and share the bad news that he had made the dubious Lampwick list.
As I was preparing to dial his home, the phone rang. It was Scotty. "Mike, my parents won't let me come over to your house any more. They say you are a bad influence. "
He was suggesting that I was Lampwick.
I shivered at the thought. Every kid knew that Lampwick eventually turned into a donkey and was dragged off into the salt mines of Pleasure Island to labor forever as a beast of burden – a high price to pay for making bad choices. Upset at the tables being turned, I sought out my mother for advice. She smiled as if she had been waiting for this opportunity. "You remember what happened to Pinocchio? He almost turned into a donkey as well. Just be careful…"
At 12 years old, I did not buy into the whole Disney Pinocchio parable. But just in case, I went in to use the bathroom and studied the mirror.
Were my ears getting bigger?

Think about it: When bungee boarding, you're basically turning yourself into a human slingshot and rocketing along at 30 miles per hour (48 kilometers per hour) on a thin slab of fiberglass or wood. Can that be dangerous? Absolutely.
Every year, 50,000 U.S. skateboarders end up in the emergency room and about 40 snowboarders are killed as a result of practicing their sport [source: MedicineNet.com, NSAA]. Sprains, bruises and fractures are common. Serious head injuries are also possible. While there aren't as many hard statistics available about bungee boarding accidents, the sport shares all the dangers that go with boarding sports in general, combined with the possibility of the bungee handle hitting a bystander.
The biggest factor in bungee boarding safely is probably experience. Roughly a third of injuries in a comparable sport -- skateboarding -- happen to those who've been at it less than a week [source: MedicineNet.com]. The more time you spend learning the basics, the less likely you may be to get hurt. Be sure to take plenty of practice runs with the bungee and get used to its dynamics before trying anything fancy.
Additionally, always wear a helmet while bungee boarding. Guards for knees, elbows and wrists are also available. In the water, a life vest is a good idea, too. As with other board sports, it's helpful to learn how to fall: Relax as much as you can, and try to land on flesh, not bone. Roll as you meet the ground [source: CPSC]. Local laws may ban activities like skateboarding in certain places or require a helmet to be worn [source: San Francisco Skateboarding Laws]. Make sure you know the regulations in your area and respect them.
Bungees rarely break. Each strand can withstand 900 pounds of force [source: Kalisek]. If one strand of your bungee does break, its braided design keeps the whole thing from giving way. Usually, backlash comes from the user letting go of the handle when it's stretched tightly (before a ride has taken place). Always make sure bystanders are far enough away -- in other words, nowhere near the anchor point -- before you get started.
Be careful at the beach. Spectators or swimmers can easily come within range of the bungee. Use an approved anchor, and check it frequently to make sure it's secure. If you're bungee boarding in the street or in a parking lot, make sure there's no traffic. Also, only one person should ride a board at a time, and you should never wrap a bungee cord around any part of a person's body.

Bonn, 9 May (T Ajit) - As climate change talks under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) convened in Bonn on 8 May, developing countries conveyed unequivocally that the Paris Agreement (PA) must not be renegotiated, nor its provisions reinterpreted.
This was stressed by the G77 and China at the opening plenary of the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Paris Agreement (APA).
The G77 also emphasized the importance of moving from conceptual discussions to textual negotiations by the 23rd session of the UNFCCC's Conference of Parties (COP23), to be held in November in Bonn this year.
This call to move to textual negotiations was also echoed by developing country groupings and developed countries.
The current climate talks in Bonn are scheduled to continue until 18 May and the first day also saw the convening of the 46th session of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) and the 46th session of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI).
During the APA opening, Co-chairs Sara Baashan (Saudi Arabia) and Jo Tyndall (New Zealand) outlined the organization of the work during the May session.
Explaining the organization of work during the session, Co-chair Baashan said that the APA would continue work in a single contact group for all the agenda items. The first contact group would meet on 9 May to set the direction of work; the second meeting would be to take stock of work and work would be adjusted as necessary, and the third meeting would adopt conclusions. The second contact group would take up overarching items on the APA agenda and crosscutting issues, Baashan said.
Baashan also informed Parties that the Co-chairs intended to organize an additional contact group on 13 May to provide an opportunity for interaction between Parties and other relevant constituted bodies with respect to implementation work of the PA.
(The work related to the implementation of the PA has been assigned to various bodies of the Convention, including the APA, the subsidiary bodies and other constituted bodies. Hence, the issue of addressing the inter-linkages between the work of the various bodies has become a concern for many developing countries).
The APA Co-chair said that informal consultations, which have been the mode of work thus far, would continue and the facilitators would remain the same, except for a few changes that will be elaborated when the contact group meets on Tuesday.
Saudi Arabia said that it had a proposal on how the co-facilitators of the informal consultations can be guided on inter-linkages and agreed to elaborate its proposal during the first meeting of the contact group.
Developing countries in their statements at the opening plenary also stressed the importance of balanced progress in all the elements of the PA's implementation work, adding that there should be a mechanism to coordinate all the implementation tasks allocated to the different bodies to ensure work progresses in a balanced manner.
Patricia Espinosa, the Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC, also presented her remarks during the opening. She underlined the urgency of the task at hand by saying that COP22 in Marrakech last year had requested the bodies to complete implementation related work by 2018 and urged Parties to work with a sense of urgency.
Parties also expressed views on what must be done at the Bonn session and outlined their expectations.
Speaking for the Group of 77 and China (G77 and China), Ecuador said the "PA adopted under the UNFCCC is the collective achievement of all Parties, which seeks to enhance the implementation of the UNFCCC, in accordance with its principles and provisions, in particular equity and common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities (CBDR-RC), in the light of different national circumstances, and the right to development, in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty".
Ecuador stressed the importance of preserving the delicate balance of all the issues that was achieved in Paris and Marrakech. The outcomes of Paris and Marrakech are not to be renegotiated nor reinterpreted, as the process under the PA is irreversible, said Ecuador.
"We stress the importance of moving from conceptual discussions to textual negotiations by COP23 while maintaining the balance struck in the PA," said Ecuador.
"All elements of the PA, including mitigation, adaptation, finance, technology development and transfer, capacity building, transparency of actions and support, and the mechanism to facilitate the implementation and promotion of compliance, must advance. There must be the appropriate coordination to generate synergies while carefully analyzing overlaps with different bodies, in particular the SBSTA and SBI," said Ecuador.
The G77 and China statement also laid emphasis on pre-2020 climate action. It stressed the importance of developed countries to take the lead in accordance with their historical responsibilities including by reducing their emissions and providing support to developing countries. It also recalled the importance on honoring their commitment to undertake pre-2020 action, particularly by ratifying the Doha Amendment to the Kyoto Protocol (KP) by the end of this year so that it can enter into force.
(The Doha Amendment refers to the second commitment period of the KP for Annex 1 Parties to undertake emissions reduction for the period 2013-2020, which has yet to come into force).
Speaking for the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Ethiopia urged Parties to start directing discussions towards textual outputs. It said that it would be important to instruct the co-facilitators of the informal consultations to share "informal notes that contain possible elements of skeletal decision texts".
Ethiopia also said it would be useful to have a call for submissions from Parties on possible elements for a decision text on each of the thematic agenda items of the work of the APA. "We would encourage you to suggest a similar approach to the SBI and SBSTA Chairs on matters they have under their responsibility relating to the PA," said Ethiopia.
"We understand that there is some alarming political back-peddling on the commitments made under the PA. Some major countries also have yet to ratify the agreement. We really hope that all Parties stay true to the spirit of the Agreement we all adopted and ensure that we take urgent action to fully implement the Agreement," added Ethiopia.
Maldives spoke for the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) and said that it was critical to ensure guidance on features, information and accounting of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) to help accelerate efforts to limit temperature increase to no more than 1.5°C and added that developing the transparency framework would be an essential component of the Paris work programme.
It also called on Parties to move to text-based negotiations by COP23, to be able to meet the 2018 deadline.
Maldives also said that reaching a decision on the Adaptation Fund serving the PA is a priority and that the matter was ready for a decision. It also said that initiating work on quantified finance goal would be important and that sources of financing for loss and damage need to be defined. It said that the financing decisions would affect progress and outcome of work.
Maldives was also of the view that the facilitative dialogue of 2018 must be effective in informing Parties of what must be collectively done to stay within the 1.5°C limit. "The dialogue should identify options for achieving this, with a view to inform Parties in preparing NDCs to be communicated by 2020," said Maldives. It added that the design of the FD 2018 should be completed by COP23.
Iran spoke for the Like Minded Developing Countries (LMDC) and stressed that the finely balanced agreements and understandings reached in Paris and Marrakech must be observed and not renegotiated.
It underscored the importance of transparency and inclusiveness in the process of negotiations and said that there must be balance in the progress and treatment of the issues under negotiations. It said that textual negotiation should be based on the submissions and inputs by all Parties, and reflect their views in a balanced manner.
Iran also said that equity and CBDR are the foundational principles of the PA and the Convention and these will have to be reflected in the outcomes of the work of the APA and other bodies under their respective mandates from COP21 and COP22.
"These include, in particular, clear differentiation between developed and developing country Parties, flexibilities for developing country Parties, full scope and nationally determined nature of contributions, and linkage between actions and support in the guidance for NDCs; the modalities for the inclusion of adaptation communications as NDC components; the modalities, procedures and guidelines for the transparency framework in relation to both actions and the provision of support; the sources of input and modalities for the global stocktake; and the modalities for the committee under Article 15 of the Paris Agreement," said Iran.
It also stressed that the key elements related to the implementation of the PA constitute "a single package". "We therefore expect that the elements of mitigation, adaptation, finance, technology development and transfer, capacity-building and transparency of actions and support, are addressed in a balanced, integrated, comprehensive, and mutually supportive manner, leading to progressively more effective common but differentiated ways of combating climate change by all Parties under the Convention and its related legal instruments," said Iran.
The LMDC also underscored the importance of means of implementation in the post-2020 period and stressed the urgency of setting a new collective quantified finance goal from a floor of USD 100 billion per annum prior to 2025.
"In this context, additionally, the group stresses that the modalities for the accounting of the provision of financial resources from developed country Parties to developing country Parties, mobilized through public interventions, consistent with Article 9, paragraph 7, of the PA, must aim to provide transparency and consistency, and the reported information must be comparable and verifiable. No developing country is to be excluded from receiving financial support for their enhanced climate change actions whether or not they have ratified the PA," Iran added.
"The great ambition that we have shown and continue to show as developing countries to address climate change through our actions should be matched by even greater ambition, and no backtracking, from developed countries to show that they lead in reducing their emissions and in providing all the needed support and means of implementation for developing countries to also do more under the Convention and its related legal instruments," it added further.
Speaking for the BASIC (Brazil, South Africa, India, China), China underscored the principle of equity, CBDR-RC in the implementation work of the PA. China said text-based negotiations should begin as early as possible, reflecting the views of Parties in a balanced manner. The outcome of work should reflect differentiation and the nationally determined nature of Parties' contributions. China said the group was concerned about the gap in support by developed countries and urged them to honour their commitments. It also underscored the importance of pre-2020 issues, including the ratification of the second commitment period of the KP.
Mali spoke for the African Group and said that the process must move towards a Party-driven and Party-owned text. It said that different items were at different levels of maturity and sought guidance on work between the May session and COP23. It said that there were several linkages between transparency and global stocktake and that these items are linked to mitigation, adaptation and means of implementation under the SBI and SBSTA, as well as with mandates given to the constituted bodies of the Convention.
It called on the Co-chairs to "to prepare a non-prescriptive, non-exhaustive note, at your own responsibility for consideration by Parties, which outlines the scope of negotiations under each of the agenda items to minimise duplication across issues that require distinct separation".
Saudi Arabia for the Arab Group also underlined the need to preserve balance in relation to what has been achieved under the PA. It said that complete coordination between SBSTA and SBI and APA must be guaranteed and all the issues must proceed in a balanced manner. None of the matters must be neglected. Transparency measures have to be across all the elements, including on means of implementation, said Saudi Arabia. It also said that for any review mechanism, support should be provided to developing countries.
Bolivia for the ALBA Group (Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America) stressed that Article 3 of the PA is sacrosanct and that the PA must not be reinterpreted, renegotiated or its balance altered. Bolivia said that all the processes must take into account the points of view of all the Parties. It said that equity is the premise for all decisions to be taken and that harmony with Mother Earth should be sought and support to developing countries must be provided. It added that negotiations must be transparent and coherent and the facilitative and non-punitive character of the PA must be recognized.
(Article 3 of the PA provides that as NDCs to the global response to climate change, all Parties are to undertake and communicate ambitions efforts as defined in the various articles relating to mitigation, adaptation, finance, technology transfer, capacity-building and transparency framework for action and support).
Guatemala spoke for the AILAC (Independent Alliance of the Latin America and the Caribbean) and said that Parties had the responsibility to "finalize the rulebook" by 2018. It said that climate action needs the participation of all countries and all stakeholders, including non-governmental organisations.
The EU added that Parties should leave COP23 with elements of a draft text. "Each item is different and has to be treated in a tailored way. We have an important deadline in 2018. We will put efforts into that mandate. Additional work should not be our priority," said the EU.
Speaking for the Environment Integrity Group (EIG), Switzerland said that work has moved from the conceptual to the technical phase and concrete proposals allowed in depth exchange among Parties and these would lead to concrete solutions. It added that Parties need to engage in technical work through 2017 and that they should not rush to textual negotiations as it will only lead to a "lengthy bracketing exercise" at present. It was of the view that by the end of 2017, Parties would be able to capture texts and text-based discussions could begin from 2018. Switzerland clarified that Parties were discussing technical guidance and not negotiating a political agreement.
Speaking for the Umbrella Group of Parties, Australia said that Parties should move from conceptual to technical discussions. It said that the roundtable on NDCs had illustrated the need for technical work to be conducted for other areas such as adaptation communications. It said that there was much work to be done on the Transparency Framework. It added that work on transparency of support was under the SBSTA and that Parties should prioritise work on Transparency of Action under the APA.

Q: How to pass parameter in SubReport from Main Crystal Report? I've a stored procedure that runs my main report.
            HPR rpt = new HPR();
            rpt.SetDataSource(objdt.fetch("EXECUTE sp_hpr @DATE ='" + dateTimePicker1.Value.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd 00:00:00") + "'", objdt.strconnection));
            crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rpt;
            crystalReportViewer1.Refresh();

The above query gets me the relevant details.
Now, I want to display just one row in main report footer, first I add another select query in my stored procedure but it didn't worked then someone told me to use SubReport, which I did but I really don't know:

*

*How to execute the second stored procedure for subreport which also
requires DateTimePicker?

*How do I pass the value of DateTimePicker in my subreport?

every time I run my program a dialog appears and ask me to enter the parameter value ! and after that another appears for my login credentials.
please help !

A: Follow these steps to pass the parameters from main report to sub report

*

*Create a new paramter @mainParam in the main report by right-clicking on 'Parameter Fields' section in Field explorer in the main report.

*Create a new parameter @subParam in the sub report in the same manner (This wouldn't be required if  you already have the parameter in the sub report)

*Right click on the sub report in the desing window in your main report.
You will be able to see an option 'Change Subreport Links'.

*Click on the option and select the @mainParam and transfer it to the sub report using '>' button.

*Select the appropriate field in the sub report to map to

*Click ok.

A: Ok, I got it,
            HPR rpt = new HPR();  // Crystal Report Object
            rpt.SetDataSource(objdt.fetch("EXECUTE sp_hpr @DATE ='" + dateTimePicker1.Value.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd 00:00:00") + "'", objdt.strconnection));

            //This is how you run your sub report in main report while passing @date parameter in stored procedure. "rptSub" is your sub report name !

            rpt.Subreports["rptSub"].SetDataSource(objdt.fetch("EXECUTE sp_hpr_avg @DATE ='" + dateTimePicker1.Value.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd 00:00:00") + "'", objdt.strconnection));

            crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rpt;
            crystalReportViewer1.Refresh();

Q: How to authenticate/authorize express routes in loopback I've just created a loopback app and extended User model for the user authentication/authorization.
I'm trying to check if the user is currently logged in or not from my express route so I could redirect user to /login if user is not logged in.
So far it seems loopback only authenticates/authorizes the exposed model methods like /user/update. I'm not able to find anything on how to get loopback to authenticate/authorize the express routes I've defined.
Thanks in advance

A: Here's the thing, I'm not very good at loopback but I do know a little about Expressjs.
In express, if you wanna do auth, you can use a middleware of your own and use it before other routes handle the request.
You might want to consider express-session as the login status storage.
When log in :
route.post('/login',function(req,res,next){
    //login here
    req.session.user = user
})

And your own middleware:
function auth(req,res,next){
  if(!req.session.user){
     res.redirect('/login')
  }
}

https://github.com/expressjs/session

A: In order to enable authentication and authorization for Express routes in a LoopBack application you will need to do the following:

*

*Initialize Loopback Token middleware to use a cookie

*Set the signed access_token cookie after you have performed a login

*Add middleware to store request context (to enable steps 4 - 6 below)

*Add middleware to identify requesting user and store user info in the request context

*Add middleware to enable enforcement of login on selected routes

*Add login enforcement middleware calls to Express routes as required

If this looks mildly terrifying, fear not because someone has written an awesome blog post on this and provided sample code for all of the above middleware:
Tokens, Sessions and Users, oh my!
Things to note:

*

*If you want your sessions to persist, make sure that LoopBack's AccessToken model is configured to use a data store other than memory. See here for more information: Allow loopback application to use previous access token

*The request context middleware as implemented in the blog post does not work as a persistent session store (i.e. only the token persists), the rest is ephemeral.


Larch helps to restore confidence in one's own abilities. Those in need of Larch have such an in built unconscious certainty of failure that they never attempt new things in life and so never discover their true potential. They automatically feel inferior to others and will stand back, allowing those that they feel are better able than themselves to take up life's opportunities. Larch helps to remind those with these traits that deep down they do have the ability and restores their confidence to live life to the full.


Last week's Pittsburgh Penguins development camp featured a special guest instructor with numerous ties to the organization. Germany's men's national team head coach and former NHLer Marco Sturm was on the ice working with the team's prospects as he continues his education in the coaching world.
Three years ago Sturm, 39, was hired by the German Hockey Federation to run the men's national team, the first step in what he hopes will someday help him land a job behind an NHL bench. This past February he guided them to a silver medal at the Pyeongchang Olympics.
We spoke with Sturm about his influences, the lack of European NHL head coaches and how Germany's silver medal in Pyeongchang has helped the sport in his home country.
Q. When did you know you wanted to get into coaching?
What coaches made the biggest impact on you during your playing career?
Did you receive any interest from NHL teams after Pyeongchang?
There have been only two European NHL head coaches. Why do you think that is? Why are teams so hesitant to go in that direction?
When you took over the German program, what did you do right away to start to implement your ideas and change the culture?
"The first camp we had, even the players didn't know where they were at. I tried to change a lot of things and that means putting a structure in place [with] what I think is going to be successful in the future and also having that core group go along with it. I had some huge help from my players. Even in the youth program, I put a new structure in place. The guys now are playing the same way I want to play or I'm playing with the big guys. Also, treat the players the right way. I think there was always that era in Germany that maybe they didn't know. But I've been around some good hockey players and good organizations, so I'm trying to treat them the right way like they're supposed to be.
How will the "PowerPlay 26" program help German hockey moving forward?
Since Pyeongchang what kind of reactions have you seen in the German hockey community?
What's next for you and the German national team?
