Foggitt, Peter: A Christmas Lullaby (PRINTED VERSION)
This PRINTED version is available to purchase as a regular sheet music title for delivery by post.
An abundantly versatile composer, Peter Foggitt in A Christmas Lullaby tunes in to the spirit of minimalism that has inspired so much remarkable music since Tavener, Górecki and Pärt discovered a new gift to be simple in their ground-breaking works of the 1970s and 1980s. To the nativity scene painted in words by John Addington Symonds the unchanging-changing chords of the limpid accompaniment for organ or piano bring an aura of rapt intensity and communion. With the clarity of an icon, this is a cradle song for an infant king who is also the Prince of Peace and a child in a manger, and a study in expressive and disciplined singing for SATB chorus.

“Pay for performance” is taking root, as investors flex their muscles over executive compensation. More than half of the compensation awarded to 51 CEOs last year was tied to their companies’ financial or stock-market performance, according to a preliminary review of proxy statements by Hay Group and The Wall Street Journal. In 2009, just 35% of the compensation for CEOs at the same companies carried performance conditions, the Journal’s Scott Thurm says. “Investors have more influence over pay than ever,” says David Wise, a vice president at Hay. “In this environment, the only way companies are increasing pay is by clearly tying it to performance.”
Nonbinding say-on-pay votes appear to be making an impact. Fewer than 5% of companies fail to win majority support, but the fear of a poor showing has prodded companies to make changes to pay packages. Some controversial executive-pay practices are also going out the window, the Journal’s Joann S. Lublin writes. AfterCitigroup lost its shareholder pay vote in 2012, the board’s compensation committee set a new policy stipulating that executives wouldn’t automatically be able to cash in unvested stock awards in the event of a takeover—even if they lose their jobs. AndAbbott Laboratories recently banned gross-ups — where employers cover taxes owed by executives for certain benefits — for officers. That was after it faced shareholder pressure over its executive pay practices.
As more pay packages get linked to performance targets, some investors are eyeing the targets themselves, Robin Ferracone, CEO of pay consultant Farient, tells Thurm. “The next frontier is not only honing the measurement system but also the goal setting.”
THE DAY AHEAD:
Lululemon‘s reputation has taken a beating since its yoga pants recall, but there may be some good news today – it’s expected to post healthy earnings for fiscal 2012. There have been fears that the yoga-pants incident could derail growth, but Ahead of the Tape’s Spencer Jakab saysthe forthright way Lululemon’s management handled it may have actually reinforced its customercentric image. “The real problem is that so many competitors, impressed with the fat margins and heady growth of yoga apparel, have jumped on the bandwagon.” So even if yoga and the broader trend of fashionable women’s workout clothing keep growing, Lululemon’s edge within that field is likely to shrink.
On the economic front, weekly jobless claims are expected to rise to 340,000 from 332,000 last week. And February existing home sales are seen climbing 1.6%, building on a 0.4% increase in January.
And on Capitol Hill, a short-term funding measure to avert a government shutdown cleared the Senate and is awaiting final passage in the House today, the Washington Post reports. If the House passes the bill before members leave Friday for a two-week recess, funding will be assured almost a week before the resolution keeping the government operating expires on March 27.
Markets flash: Asian markets ended mixed. In Europe, shares are lower as worries over Cyprus and some downbeat euro-zone economy data weigh on sentiment. DJIA futures are flat.
EXCLUSIVE ON CFOJ:
Equity-compensation loan method gets SEC blessing. The SEC gave its approval to a specific type of equity-based compensation involving loans to executives and directors, saying that the structure would not violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act’s ban on companies making personal loans to top management, Emily Chasan reports. In a “no-action” letter earlier this month, the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance said financial services firm RingsEnd Partners could go ahead with an executive equity-compensation plan that included loans arranged through BNP Paribas and an independently managed trust. The plan involves transferring shares to an independent Delaware statutory trust, which can obtain loans using those shares as collateral. “The key was to find an independent entity that would have a buffer between the company and employee so that you wouldn’t have a direct loan,” said Mike Oxley, the former Ohio congressman, who is now an attorney with law firm Baker & Hostetler LLP, which worked on the request to the SEC with RingsEnd.
Chesapeake bond case to get speedy court resolution. A judge has set a tentative April 23 trial date to settleChesapeake Energy’s dispute with bondholders over a bond redemption it’s attempting, Vipal Monga reports. The trial date is about two weeks earlier than the date asked for by both Chesapeake and its opponents in the suit — a group of bondholders and the bond trustee Bank of New York Mellon A person close to the situation said the judge set the trial date early so as to leave some time for appeals before mid-May, when the redemption is set to formally take place.
Michael Dell talks down company’s prospects as he makes his pitch. As the deadline looms for rival Dell bids, Michael Dell is in the unusual position of having to talk down his company’s prospects to get shareholders to accept the current offer, the WSJ’s Shira Ovide and Sharon Terlep write. Some of that position is expected to be laid out in a public filing that Dell is set to issue in coming weeks. The proxy is expected to say that the offer from Silver Lake and Mr. Dell was the best option. No alternative bid has been offered, but Blackstone is working on a few scenarios for a potential bid that would see the private-equity giant team with a partner to buy all or part of the computer maker. Blackstone has talked with Southeastern Asset Management—Dell’s largest outside shareholder—about a deal in which the firm would roll shares into a takeover bid. Meanwhile, Reuters is reporting that Blackstone is “making an aggressive push” to recruitOracle President Mark Hurd to be chief executive of Dell.
Oracle CFO blames weak results on sales force. Oracle CFO Safra Catz blamed weak Q3 results on the company’s sales force. “We are not at all pleased with our revenue growth this quarter,” Ms. Catz said. The company sold fewer software licenses and its business in server systems continued to shrink in the quarter, the WSJ reports. Oracle has significantly expanded its sales force, but Ms. Catz said some of the new recruits seemed less motivated to close deals in the third quarter than the fourth quarter ending in May—the fiscal year-end deadline that determines salespeople’s commissions. The results also suggest the difficulties Oracle faces as more potential customers turn to cloud-based software. “The biggest challenge Oracle is facing is that demand for on-premises software is drying up,” said analyst Pat Walravens of JMP Securities.
FedEx profit plunges. FedEx’s quarterly profit plunged 31% as its international customers and shippers flocked to slower, cheaper delivery options instead of its premium-priced express service, the WSJ reports. Revenue at Express, the operating unit that includes international, was about $100 million less than the company expected in the quarter, said CFO Alan Graf. FedEx’s CEO said the company will begin reducing capacity to and from Asia on April 1, and “aggressively managing the traffic flows to place lower yielding traffic in lower cost networks.”
H-P directors re-elected. Hewlett-Packard‘s board chairman and two outside directors narrowly survived a re-election challenge, with shareholders still steamed about the controversial 2011 Autonomy acquisition. ISS had urged investors to oppose the re-election of Chairman Raymond Lane and two independent directors — John Hammergren and G. Kennedy Thompson. Meanwhile, Glass Lewis recommended keeping Mr. Lane, but said Messrs. Hammergren and Thompson should be removed, as well as H-P directors Rajiv Gupta and Marc Andreessen. In the end, Mr. Lane received 58.9% of votes in favor of his re-election, Mr. Hammergren got 53.9%, Mr. Thompson 55.2%, Mr. Andreessen 69.8% and Mr. Gupta 80.3%. By comparison, CEO Meg Whitman received about 98% of votes in favor, the WSJ’s Ian Sherr and Joann S. Lublin report.
Pandora CFO expects costs to shrink. Pandora CFO Mike Herring expects the royalties his company pays to artists and record labels to fall to 40% of revenue from about 60% now, Bloomberg reports. The company is tackling royalty rates and seeking to boost the revenue it gets from advertising. With targeted ads and interactive features, Pandora is able to levy a premium over radio spots, Mr. Herring told an investor conference.
ECB sets deadline for Cyprus. The ECB is threatening to cut off emergency funding for Cyprus’s banks if the country doesn’t seal a bailout deal by Monday, the WSJ reports. Officials said new options discussed today could include nationalizing pension funds of semi-state companies, issuing an emergency bond linked to future natural gas revenue or a revised bank deposit levy hitting only large investors, Reuters reports. Meanwhile, Cypriot Finance Minister Michael Sarris said he was discussing possible Russian investments in the island’s banks and energy resources to reduce its debt burden, as well as an extension to an existing €2.5 billion Russian loan. But he said Cyprus had no plans to borrow more money from Russia and add to its debt mountain, Reuters notes.
Fed isn’t ready to tighten policy yet. The Fed is developing a strategy for winding down its bond-buying program, but it won’t execute the plan until the economy gets onto more solid footing, the WSJ’s Jon Hilsenrath and Victoria McGrane report. Chairman Ben Bernanke, in a news conference following a two-day policy meeting, said the central bank would vary the amount of its monthly bond purchases depending on how the economy is performing. This means it could slowly dial them down from the current pace as it becomes more convinced that the job market is improving.
- Norilsk Nickel said CFO Dmitry Kostoyev is resigning to pursue other projects after four years in the role. The firm named Sergei Malyshev, an executive from energy contracting firm Energostroiinvest Holding Group, as his replacement. Mr. Malyshev was previously a finance director at Lukoil-Chemical as well, according to Dow Jones Newswires.
- ISS World Services said it was promoting Chief Financial Officer Henrik Andersen to the new position of group chief operating officer in Europe. He has been with the company for 12 years in a series of finance and general management roles. The company named Heine Dalsgaard as his replacement. Mr. Dalsgaard is joining the firm from pump manufacturer Grundfos, where he had been CFO and a member of the management team since 2007.
- Cambium Learning Group said that it has accepted resignations from three top executives — Chief Executive Ron Klausner, President Vernon Johnson and Chief Financial Officer Brad Almond. Both Mr. Klausner and Mr. Almond had served in their roles since 2009, according to the company’s website. The company did not provide a reason for their resignations. It named John Campbell, president of its Cambium Learning Technologies group, as CEO and promoted controller Barbara Benson to CFO. Cambium also announcedon Wednesday that it was terminating its Rule 10b5-1 share repurchase plan.

Back and forth allegations flew like fireworks on Hitz Fm as Agya Koo and a Kumawood director, Frank Fiifi Gharbin, went to town on each other.
Agya Koo accused Gharbin of being unprofessional, of always arriving on set drunk and disrupting everything going on there, and in return he casually accused Agya Koo of rape.
According to the director, Agya Koo once cornered an actress known as Madam China in a hotel room and tried to rape her.
Narrating the incident, Gharbin said he was returning from a day’s shoot to the hotel when he heard noise coming from a room downstairs.
Upon entering the room, he said he saw Agya Koo on the actress trying to forcibly have s*x with her and he had to separate the two of them.
He further added that later that night, he took the lady away from the hotel to another location but Agya Koo came there, accusing them of having an affair.
Agya Koo denied the rape accusation, alleging that the director only made it up as revenge for what he (Agya Koo) had revealed about him.

A benefit for some companies and an obligation for others. Let me explain. No one doubts that ESG issues are the main protagonists and that stakeholders, who demand responsible leadership from companies, want to know how organizations are transforming to meet growing social and environmental demands. Never have we seen such rapid progress in the dissemination of this type of reporting.
But, in addition to the market itself that demands transparency in these matters, since 2018, the law on non-financial information and diversity sets the rules for two types of companies:
- those with more than 500 workers.
- those which qualify as public-interest entities under audit legislation or which, for two consecutive financial years, meet at least two of the following conditions:
- more than 250 employees
- those for which the total assets are more than EUR 20 million.
- those where the net annual turnover exceeds 40,000,000
To comply with the law, these companies, among other things, must report on the development, results, and situation of the group, stating in their report:
- A brief description of the business model and the policies developed (with the results of the year)
- Risks linked to the company’s activities
- Non-financial key performance indicators (standards for non-financial key indicators that are generally applicable and that comply with the European Commission’s guidelines on non-financial key performance indicators and the Global Reporting Initiative standards will be used)
And the impact of its activity regarding:
- environmental issues (circular economy and waste management, greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, air pollution, etc.)
- social concerns (measures to facilitate the enjoyment of reconciliation, training, accessibility for people with disabilities, equality, safety at work, etc.)
- respect for human rights and the fight against corruption and bribery (instruments available to the company to deal with these situations)
- information about the company in which it operates (commitments to sustainable development, subcontracting and suppliers, tax information. . .)
Although a proposal has recently been put on the table to introduce new reporting standards at the European level, companies should therefore keep an eye out for new updates in this area.

This simple dish, sold by street vendors in Mexico, tastes amazing-grilled ears of sweet corn spread with cayenne-spiked mayo and rolled in cotija cheese. And it's easy to prepare at home. To quickly grate the cheese, place small chunks in a food processor and pulse until very fine. If you can't find cotija, crumbled feta is a good substitute.

Manitoba First Nation bans travel to Winnipeg due to COVID-19 spike
WINNIPEG -- A Manitoba First Nation has banned travel to Winnipeg as cases in the city continue to rise.
On Monday, the Tataskweyak Cree Nation announced it had been notified of a positive case of COVID-19 within the community. The person was a contact of a known case from outside the community.
"We remind everyone to continue to be vigilant about following precautionary measures," a statement from Chief Doreen Spence and Council said.
In response to the case, the Tataskweyak Cree Nation said it has placed a travel ban to Winnipeg, except for medical reasons, adding medical appointments will continue as scheduled.
In the statement, the First Nation said non-residents will not be allowed to visit the community for two weeks.
The First Nation said community members and residents will still be allowed to travel to Thompson.
CHECK STOPS AND CURFEWS IMPOSED ON COMMUNITY
The Tataskweyak Cree Nation has also placed a number of precautionary measures in the community, including a check stop and vehicle search, an 8 p.m. curfew for a period of two weeks, and a mandatory mask rule.
This comes after the province announced seven new cases of COVID-19 had been identified in the Northern Health Region on Monday. This brings the total number of active cases in the region to 11.
Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak Grand Chief Garrison Settee said in a statement he has the "utmost confidence" in the leaders to handle the cases.
"First Nations and Northern residents have worked extremely hard to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Northern Manitoba,” said Settee. “I recognize the efforts shown by leaders and other residents to help prevent the transmission of this virus to our communities. I encourage all Northern residents to remain vigilant but also to remember to be kind."
Settee said there has been a lot of stigma around people who test positive for COVID-19, and called on people to show support to anyone who gets sick.


WASHINGTON, DC – US President Joe Biden hosted his virtual Summit for Democracy on Thursday and Friday. It consisted of representatives from governments, NGOS, and the private sector around the world.
“Democracy doesn’t happen by accident,” Biden said in his opening remarks. “We have to renew it with each generation… In my view, this is the defining challenge of our time.” He added that democracy was resilient, capable of both self-correction and self-improvement.
Democracy is critical to the health of the United States, and democracy does require care and attention. But that isn’t done by talking about how important it is. The problem at the centre of the summit was this: you can’t talk your way to a better democracy.
There were other issues with the summit. For one thing, some argue that the United States should just deal in geopolitics, working with whomever will work with it. For another, those who do believe that the United States should be working first and foremost with democracies will note that this convening’s guest list wasn’t all that democratic. Countries like Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo, which are marked as “Not Free” in the latest assessment by the think tank Freedom House of political rights around the world, were invited. So was the Philippines, which is ranked “partly free” by Freedom House and whose president, Rodrigo Duterte, brags about the killings he once carried out while waging his war on drugs.
But the larger issue, to my mind, is that the summit confuses talking about doing something with actually doing something. It is all well and good for Biden to say that he cherishes democracy, but the reality is that he has clashed with voting rights groups for not doing enough to push Congress to pass national voting rights legislation while state legislatures across the country make it more difficult for people to vote.
It’s nice that Biden says democracy is important, but, according to a CNN poll from this past September, over half of Americans believe an elected official will overturn the results of a future election if their party doesn’t win. It’s fine for Biden to say that the summit was about democracies fortifying themselves in the face of authoritarianism, but the Biden administration is pushing through an arms sale to Saudi Arabia. Nor did the Biden administration take action against the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, though US intelligence believes he was personally responsible for the 2018 murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
There was one significant moment from the first day of the summit, however. This week, the US Treasury Department established a new rule that shell companies will need to share the names of those controlling them, which should help crack down on corruption in America. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said, “There’s a good argument that, right now, the best place to hide and launder ill-gotten gains is actually the United States.” If the United States and world are to pull through for democracy, it will be with that kind of combination of humility and willingness to enact change.

prince of persia
November 29, 2008 10:51pm CST
After hitman,this is another game based movie.With hitman not doing well at the box office,its the turn of the prince of persia to prove worthy.The movie is directed by Mike Newell and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.Anyone knowing more information please share it here.
• United States
30 Nov 08
The movie "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" is scheduled to come out in May 2010. From what I've seen the cast appears to be: Gemma Arterton as Tamina, Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan, Ben Kingsley as Nizam, and Alfred Molina as Sheik Amar. Director is Mike Newell. Other then that because the movie is "in production" there isn't much more to go off of. Yes, it's obviously based on the video game, where a prince teams together with a princess to stop a sandstorm caused by a ruler with the intent to destroy the world. I'll keep up checking on it. I love the game but I fear the destruction of the whole idea by creating a movie from the game. Like you pointed out about Hitman not being so hot in the box office. Happy Saturday

DAME tells stories that otherwise go unheard – as reported, analyzed, and written by women.
The narrowness of our current media landscape is insidious, a genuine threat to the ongoing democratic project. Women own fewer than eleven percent of all media platforms, and make up only 39 percent of newsrooms – but DAME is women-owned and women-run.
As America moves, full-throttle, into an extraordinary election year, we urgently need a new media model, one that privileges voices that have long been sidelined, and focuses on issues that have long been ignored.
When you make a one-time donation or become a member, you allow DAME to expand our storytelling, our analysis, and our reporting – you become part of the team working to change the American discourse.
2020 is going to be a turning point in American history. Please help DAME tell that story as it unfolds.

Accomplished artists from across the country will bring their individual interpretations of our world to a Parkland Art Gallery group exhibition opening Sept. 28.
"Defining Territory: Contemporary Drawing," curated by Parkland College Art and Design faculty members Joan Stolz and Matthew Watt, will run through Saturday, Nov. 9.
Stolz and Watt, associate professors who teach drawing, painting, and design, have selected five artists for this exhibition who approach drawing in very different ways—in content and in process—but who are linked by their pursuit of reinterpreting what they have seen. They share a transformative approach to figurative elements in drawings through the use of abstract structure which creates an aesthetic that draws in the viewer.
The exhibit participants comprise a mix of studio artists and faculty at several U.S. educational institutions, including Karina Noel Hean, based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and teaching at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design; Patti Jordan, adjunct professor at Laboratory Institute of Merchandising College in New York City, where she teaches Drawing and Color and Design; Lucas Monaco, a studio artist practicing in Brooklyn; Sara Schneckloth, an associate professor in the Department of Art at the University of South Carolina; and Shelby Shadwell, an assistant professor in the Art Department at the University of Wyoming, in Laramie.
Several events have been prepared in conjunction with the exhibit. First, as part of the exhibit’s opening day, the gallery will participate in Smithsonian Magazine’s “Museum Day Live,” where gallery visitors can enter a drawing to win season tickets to the Parkland Theatre. Second, an exhibit reception will be held Thursday, Oct. 3 from 6 to 8 p.m., featuring a curatorial talk by Stolz and Watt at 7 p.m. and music by the Parkland Guitar Ensemble. Finally, exhibit artist Shelby Shadwell will provide an additional public lecture on Oct. 17 at 1:15 p.m. in the gallery.
Watt said the new exhibition is an attempt to reveal the “exploratory spirit of today’s art world, where many artists’ use of drawing as a primary medium allow audiences to see the world of familiar objects in new ways.”
“The exhibition is really about tension,” Stolz said. “The tension comes from the friction between realism and abstraction. No matter how realistic or abstract it is, it is the artist who ultimately defines where the line is drawn. That is where it gets really interesting.”
In their curatorial statement, the professors describe drawing as “the intersection between the artist’s observation and the marks made in reaction to that observation. Every mark drawn on a surface reflects a decision of some sort. And no matter how realistic the drawing may be, it is an interpretation.
“Observation can have a very inclusive definition. In addition to realistic and accurate depiction of objects and space, artists use memory, observation of marks and artwork made by others or themselves, reinvention of naturally occurring processes, emphasis of structure over superficial appearance, or meticulous recreation with the removal of context.”
Gallery director Lisa Costello said the exhibition provides a great opportunity for students and the public to learn more about the practice of drawing. “It enables the viewer to see the artwork up close and appreciate the mark making and observational skills by the artists,” she said. “This exhibition is evidence of drawing as a means of personal expression and as an end in itself as opposed to completing an assignment in class.”
Parkland Art Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday; and noon to 2 p.m. Saturday. To find the gallery when classes are in session, we suggest using the M6 parking lot on the north corner of the campus. Enter through any door and follow the ramps uphill to the highest point of the first floor, where the gallery is located. The gallery windows overlook the outdoor fountain area.
Programs at the gallery are partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency. Parkland College is a section 504/ADA-compliant institution; for accommodation, call 217/351-2505.

Flint man charged on suspicion of historic murder and rape of teenage schoolgirl Janet Commins 40 years ago
Stephen Anthony Hough, 57, from Flint, was arrested in Essex on
Monday in connection with the murder of 15-year-old Janet Commins on
January 7, 1976, in Flint.
He is also charged with two further sexual offences relating to a
separate and unconnected enquiry following allegations earlier this year
and will appear before Llandudno magistrates today.
A man has previously been imprisoned for manslaughter after admitting responsibility for the death.
Senior investigating officer Det Supt Iestyn Davies of North Wales
Police said: “There has been significant developments to assist police
investigations of this nature in the past 40 years and significant
changes in the way we approach murder investigations.
“This man has not previously been arrested in connection with the 1976 investigation.
“A dedicated team of officers have been working on this investigation
and as a result, further evidence has come to light which has caused us
to review all the circumstances surrounding the initial investigation.
“Consequently, a referral has been made to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
“Janet’s family is being supported by specialist officers.”
In a statement, Janet’s mother Eileen Commins said yesterday: “I have
been aware since May of this year that North Wales Police have been
reinvestigating the murder of my daughter in 1976.
“I have today been informed that a local man, who had not previously been suspected, has been charged with her murder and rape.
“This has come as a great shock to me and my family and I’d ask that
our privacy as a family be respected. No further statement will be
forthcoming at this stage.”
According to details reported in the Evening Leader back in January
1976, Janet’s body was found dumped in bushes near Gwynedd Primary
School playing field, just a few yards from her home on King Edward
Drive, Flint. A post-mortem examination revealed she had been sexually
assaulted and suffocated.
Police conducted house-to-house enquiries in the aftermath of Janet’s
death, interviewing more than 1,000 pupils at Flint High School which
the 15-year-old had attended.
Officers investigating the murder believed she left home on January 7
at 7pm and left a note telling her mother she would be home for 8.30pm.
Janet was thought to have walked to Flint Sports Centre where she
left at 8pm before calling at a neighbour’s house between 8.15pm and
It was reported that the next time she was seen was 9.30pm on Albert Avenue.
A £250 reward was offered by the Evening Leader for information relating to Janet’s murder later that month.
Janet’s funeral was held on February 2, 1976, and her parents Ted and
Eileen told reporters they would never be able to forgive the person
responsible, saying their “whole world had been shattered”.
Mr Commins died aged 79 in September, 2014.

As holiday trading sets up in the global markets, the SPY is starting to show signs of volatility and warning of a potential top by gapping as price attempts to trade sideways. This type of top formation, along with the fact that the overnight REPO facility continues to roil the markets, continues to draw our researchers to the conclusion that some type of debt or liquidity issue is just below the surface of the global markets.
We believe the topping formation in the SPY may be a sign that the holiday trading, normally spanning from just before Thanksgiving to sometime after January 10th or 15th, may prompt a very volatile price rotation in the global markets. The lack of liquidity in the market at this time often leads to fairly narrow ranges in price. Yet we are seeing volatility continue to stay somewhat high at this time and the REPO issue hangs over the heads of nearly every investor at this time.
One of our friends, an ex-Chicago floor trader, wrote to us just a few days ago suggesting he was receiving phone calls from many friends and associates in the US and overseas about the REPO issue. We believe this issue is now taking root as a concern for global investors and could become a major issue for the markets going forward into 2020. Our friend’s suggestion was to “buy gold and to pair back equity positions”.
This SPY Daily chart highlights the GAPS in price that has our research team concerned. A breakdown below $308 would qualify as a new Bearish Price Trend. If the most recent gap is filled to the downside, the price may begin to accelerate lower, confirming our analysis.
On the flip side of that scenario, is a breakout above $315 that can hold for a couple of days or into the end of the week. That would trigger a new uptrend and possibly a Santa Rally.
This Weekly YM chart highlights the Hangman pattern set up last week with a very long lower wick. This pattern set up at the price high is very indicative of a topping formation. The fact that it set up just below the GREEN Bullish Price Trigger level near $28,175 suggests this level is acting as resistance. A breakdown in price near this level could prompt a move to levels below 26,000.
Traders need to stay cautious over the next 5+ weeks as the lack of volatility in the market may prompt some very big price moves. We believe the REPO issue may have some legs in the future and we believe a rotation may begin before Christmas 2019.
If liquidity continues to diminish, a flash crash type of event would not be uncommon. We believe there are serious risks of a downward price rotation in the works and urge our followers and members to prepare for unknown risks over the next 5+ weeks.
Normal trading volume will not likely start to pick back up till after January 15th. We have at least 4+ weeks of unknowns to contend with in a very illiquid market. We are going to trade with the short term market trends and be agile going into the new year.
S&P 500 & BOND TREND – DECEMBER 13
The stock market was setting up a topping pattern the past couple weeks but that has now been negated. The charts/technicals are bullish and so are we it’s that simple really.
Yesterday more chatter of tariffs and other news sparked a strong equities rally at the open bell which sent stocks sharply higher while bonds corrected. With yesterday’s S&P 500 hitting new highs after a fear-based correction two weeks ago the market is now back in rally mode and should have enough energy to sustain a rally into the year-end.
While we trade based on technical analysis, there will be days when news hitting the market and causes some large moves on the same day we have technical buy or sell signals. Like yesterday, for example, The past couple of trading sessions we have been talking about how the S&P 500 has to hie new highs to kick things back into a new uptrend after the previous week’s price correction. Yesterday, the SP500 broke to new highs, while bonds broke down triggering a new breakout rally in stocks. Sure there was news to help push price higher but none the less all our analysis has confirmed for the buy trigger.
We touch on other markets or news from time to time but we do not take any of the news into consideration for our trades. While there are many warning signs out there pointing to dark times ahead for the financial markets like the Repo market and many others, the reality is we follow the price, not the news. The market is climbing a wall of worry among educated traders and investors, and that’s what the market does best and we can’t fight it. Eventually, the price will turn down for a mega bear market and we will be there to profit from it, until then we ride the fearful rally higher.

Whether she's performing jazz, folk, blues, rock, country or avant-garde "vocal art," Cantrell's music feels familiar and comforting, but also engaging. When she sings in that deep, rich voice, the sound feels as if you've been living with it for a large part of your life.
From the first song, the sublime gospel blues of "Do You Remember" (pumped up with some potent saxophone by Sidney George), you can sense in Cantrell's music the warmth, sophistication and maturity toward which she has been moving throughout her career of 20-plus years.
As one might guess from the title, several of this CD's songs concern the act of traveling, literally and symbolically. The best examples are the funky rock of "Three Miles Into New Mexico," with its intoxicating wanderlust, and "Long Way Home," a stark, melancholic (and beautifully so) folk-rock rumination, framed by the jazzy guitar plucking of Mitzi Cowell and percussion by Will Clipman.
Some of Cantrell's traveling companions on this CD include Dutch pianist and guitarist Philippe Pfeiffer, who co-wrote all the songs; members of The Mollys and Molehill Orkestrah; and multi-instrumentalist T. Greg Squires, who co-produced the CD with Cowell.

Olaleye Aluko, Abuja
The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, has said funds have been released from the Ministry of Defence to pay the outstanding operational allowances of troops fighting Boko Haram for the third quarter of 2017.
Buratai, in a release signed by the Director, Army Public Relations, Brig. Gen. Sani Usman, said the army would this week begin the payment of “allowances owed the troops for the last two months accordingly.”
Our correspondent had reported on Monday that a letter was written by a soldier currently attached to Operation Lafiya Dole, the military anti-insurgency operation in the North-East, to President Muhammadu Buhari, lamenting the poor welfare of troops.
The anonymous soldier, who claimed to be a private in Damaturu, Yobe State, had alleged that soldiers in the frontline were being poorly treated as a result of massive corruption in the army.
“Your Excellency, this is the third month in a row that we have been denied of our operational allowances. We have to rely only on our meagre salary for everything. From battalion commanders to company and sector leaders, we are all in debt, because our salaries are not enough to sustain us at the battlefield, let alone feeding our families back at home,” he had written.
Buratai, on Monday, while confirming that some troops were owed allowances, assured the soldiers of maximum welfare, noting that their “unflinching loyalty, perseverance and dedication to duty brought the desired success in the fight against terrorism, insurgency and other criminal activities.”
Buratai said this in a letter sent to various formations and corps commanders, as well as commanders of the various training institutions of the army on Sunday.
The statement by the army spokesman, Usman, partly read, “The COAS has assured troops, especially those on Operation Lafiya Dole of their welfare. This is coming from the good news of the release of funds for the payment of operational allowances and logistics for the third quarter of 2017 from the Ministry of Defence.”

With about 6.3% Contribution to GDP, Real Estate sector plays a vital role in Indian economy. The path Real estate market in India has been treading for last two or more years is sluggish as the buyer’s sentiments are rock bottom resulting no fluctuation in prices and dimmer chances of capital appreciation in short-term. But there is silver lining this year in the form of some positive factors which are bound to give a boost to this sector.
1. Interest rate cut: This year witnessed two interest rate cuts of 50 bps in total by Reserve Bank and some more attractive cuts are expected which will certainly brighten the property prospects and a solid base will be established for a surge in demand may be by the end of current year or start of next year.
2. Liberalized payments: This period of inactivity has taught a crucial lesson to developers and they have converged on the path of easy payment plans to call buyers back to the residential home market. Such schemes are bound to enhance the demand.
3. Increase in number of affordable units: The general dilemma of an average Indian household whether or not to initially buy housing units much bigger than their present need has been taken care by the developers these days when they are coming up with more affordable units which will attract small families to buy property.
4. Government’s policies: The declaration of smart cities concept by the central government and their naming is bound to provide enough impetus to Realty sector which was otherwise in deep dumps during past years. The concept of smart cities has fascinated NRI and other communities and a jump in FDI is bound to take the sector to dizzying heights. A lot of money is going to be pumped in through private equity or seed funding. The government on its part has made foreign direct investment in such smart cities easier by carpeting the path for such investments.
There are numerous other factors such as the strengthening of infrastructure in the country and its rapid pace , enhanced industrialization etc. which will also serve as an impetus to the growth of this sector. It is rightly said that there are periods of leans and highs in every sector and as the realty sector has seen lean periods, its leap to newer heights is inevitable.

Cornish Health Pay Cuts Could Go Ahead Despite Condemnation
7:00am 6th December 2012
Cornish doctors and nurses could still be forced to work longer for less, even thought the government has effectively told bosses to drop the plans.
The Chancellor, Health Minister and Deputy Prime Minister have come out against regional pay.
But southwest hospitals including Treliske and Derriford think they have the power to carry on anyway.
Nick Clegg said: "Clearly the fact that we're not going to go ahead with local and regional pay - we've ruled that out - sends out a very clear signal to that consortium that of course you need flexibilities but that we're not going to move towards local or regional pay. I'm sure the NHS bosses in the southwest have heard that as clearly as anybody else."
But the leader of the Southwest Pay, Terms and Conditions Consortium, Chris Bown said: “Existing legislation permits NHS trusts freedoms in how pay, terms and conditions are arranged at a local level.
“The south west pay, terms and conditions consortium was established to explore ways in which these existing freedoms may be used to support sustainability in services and employment in the face of unprecedented challenges.
“This remains the case.”
Some hospital trusts have already dropped out of the consortium, but others are continuing to hold talks about how to cut save money.
They have already warned that they need to examine every aspect of their organisations to consider how to make savings.7:00am 6th December 2012

- class Omeka_File_Ingest_AbstractIngest¶
An abstract class that handles ingesting files into Omeka and database.
Specific responsibilities handled by this class:
- Parsing/validating arbitrary inputs that somehow identify the files to be ingested.
- Iterating through the parsed file information, validating, and transferring each file to Omeka.
- Inserting a new record into the files table that corresponds to thetransferred file’s metadata.
- Returning a collection of the records associated with the ingestedfiles.
Typical usage is via the factory() method:
$ingest = Omeka_File_Ingest_AbstractIngest::factory('Url', $item); $fileRecords = $ingest->ingest('http://www.example.com');
- property _item¶
- property _options¶
Set of arbitrary options to use when ingesting files.
- property _validators¶
Set of validators implementing Zend_Validate_Interface.
- property mimeType¶
The current validated file MIME type.
- setItem(Item $item)¶
Set the item to use as a target when ingesting files.
- $item (Item) –
- factory(string $adapterName, Item $item, array $options = Array)¶
Factory to retrieve Omeka_File_Ingest_* instances.
- $adapterName (string) – Ingest adapter.
- $item (Item) –
- $options (array) –
- _getOriginalFilename(array $fileInfo)¶
Retrieve the original filename of the file.
- $fileInfo (array) –
- _transferFile(array $fileInfo, string $originalFilename)¶
Transfer the file to Omeka.
To indicate validation errors, Omeka_File_Ingest_InvalidException can bethrown at any time. To indicate other types of non-recoverable errorsrelated to file ingest, throw Omeka_File_Ingest_Exception.
- $fileInfo (array) –
- $originalFilename (string) –
string Real path to the transferred file.
- _parseFileInfo(mixed $files)¶
Ingest classes receive arbitrary information. This method needs to parse that information into an iterable array so that multiple files can be ingested from a single identifier.
Example use case is Omeka_File_Ingest_Upload.
- $files (mixed) –
- setOptions(array $options)¶
Set options for ingesting files.
- $options (array) – Available options include: - ‘ignore_invalid_files’: boolean false by default. Determine whether or not to throw exceptions when a file is not valid. This can be based on a number of factors: whether or not the original identifier is valid (i.e. a valid URL), whether or not the file itself is valid (i.e. invalid file extension), or whether the basic algorithm for ingesting the file fails (i.e., files cannot be transferred because the files/ directory is not writeable). This option is primarily useful for skipping known invalid files when ingesting large data sets.
- ingest(mixed $fileInfo)¶
Ingest based on arbitrary file identifier info.
If this is an array that has a ‘metadata’ key, that should be an arrayrepresenting element text metadata to assign to the file. SeeActsAsElementText::addElementTextsByArray() for more details.
- $fileInfo (mixed) – An arbitrary input (array, string, object, etc.) that corresponds to one or more files to be ingested into Omeka.
array Ingested file records.
Determine whether or not to ignore file ingest errors. Based on ‘ignore_invalid_files’, which is false by default.
- _logException(Exception $e)¶
Log any exceptions that are thrown as a result of attempting to ingest invalid files.
These are logged as warnings because they are being ignored by the script,so they don’t actually kill the file ingest process.
- $e (Exception) –
- _createFile(string $newFilePath, string $oldFilename, array $elementMetadata = Array)¶
Insert a File record corresponding to an ingested file and its metadata.
- $newFilePath (string) – Path to the file within Omeka.
- $oldFilename (string) – The original filename for the file. This will usually be displayed to the end user.
- $elementMetadata (array) – See ActsAsElementText::addElementTextsByArray() for more information about the format of this array.
- _getDestination(string $fromFilename)¶
Retrieve the destination path for the file to be transferred.
This will generate an archival filename in order to prevent naming conflicts between ingested files.
This should be used as necessary by Omeka_File_Ingest_AbstractIngestimplementations in order to determine where to transfer any given file.
- $fromFilename (string) – The filename from which to derive the archival filename.
- addValidator(Zend_Validate_Interface $validator)¶
Add Zend Framework file validators.
Emulates the way Zend Framework adds validators.
- $validator (Zend_Validate_Interface) –
- _validateFile(string $filePath, array $fileInfo)¶
Validate a file that has been transferred to Omeka.
Implementations of Omeka_File_Ingest_AbstractIngest should use this to validate the uploaded file based on user-defined security criteria.
Important: $fileInfo may need to contain the following keys in order to work with particular Zend_Validate_File_* validation classes:
- ‘name’: string filename (for Zend_Validate_File_Extension) If ZF is unable to determine the file extension when validating, it willcheck the ‘name’ attribute instead. Current use cases involve saving thefile to a temporary location before transferring to Omeka. Mosttemporary files do not maintain the original file extension.
- ‘type’: string MIME type (for Zend_Validate_File_MimeType) If ZFis unable to determine the mime type from the transferred file. Unlessthe server running Omeka has a mime_magic file or has installed theFileInfo extension, this will be necessary.
- $filePath (string) – Absolute path to the file. The file should be local and readable, which is required by most (if not all) of the Zend_Validate_File_* classes.
- $fileInfo (array) – Set of file info that describes a given file being ingested.
boolean True if valid, otherwise throws an exception.

Raw or unprocessed crude oil is not generally useful in industrial applications, although "light, sweet" (low viscosity, low sulfur) crude oil has been used directly as a burner fuel for steam vessel propulsion. [ The lighter elements, however, form explosive vapors in the fuel tanks and are therefore hazardous, especially in warships. Instead, the hundreds of different hydrocarbon molecules in crude oil are separated in a refinery into components which can be used as fuels, lubricants, and as feedstock in petrochemical processes that manufacture such products as plastics, detergents, solvents, elastomers and fibers such as nylon and polyesters.
Petroleum fossil fuels are burned in internal combustion engines to provide power for ships, automobiles, aircraft engines, lawn mowers, chainsaws, and other machines. Different boiling points allow the hydrocarbons to be separated by distillation. Since the lighter liquid products are in great demand for use in internal combustion engines, a modern refinery will convert heavy hydrocarbons and lighter gaseous elements into these higher value products. ] (More)


Having left Oasis the previous year after a typically turbulent, backstage row with brother Liam at Manchester's Heaton Park, the eldest Gallagher sibling's first official foray into a "solo" career took off in 2010 with Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, featuring the talents of Gallagher, former Oasis keyboard player Mike Rowe, Lemon Trees drummer Jeremy Stacey, and percussionist Lenny Castro. Cut from the same arena-sized, melodic Brit-pop cloth as the band he helped bring to prominence in the early '90s, the High Flying Birds released their debut single, "If I Had a Gun," in August 2011, followed by an eponymous, full-length debut in mid-October. It reached number one in the U.K., also performing well across the globe. In 2014, the single "In the Heat of the Moment" preceded the release of the High Flying Birds' second album, Chasing Yesterday. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi

Get caught poaching fish one too many times in Northwest waters and you’re likely to lose your sport fishing license.
Do the same under a commercial license, on a much larger scale, and you’ll likely avoid the same fate.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has suspended thousands of recreational fishing licenses since 2003 because of rule violations, according to agency data. It has revoked zero licenses for commercial fishing violations since then. They're almost as uncommon in Oregon.


WOODBURY HEIGHTS — Biting winds and unseasonably cold weather weren’t enough to stop a successful Memorial Day Ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park on Saturday.
With Gloucester County veterans and dignitaries alike in attendance for the ceremony, it was a somber day for many in attendance as the ceremony honored a number of local veterans that have died since last year.
As Woodbury Heights Councilman Eshia “Jake” Jacobs led the ceremony, they town also remembered Charles Avitello, who had been the town’s oldest living veteran before dying in the past year.
Assemblywoman Celeste Riley gave an impassioned speech about the day, asking residents to honor what Memorial Day has meant to so many families who have lost their loved ones to war.
“We need to come together as a community for those who put their lives in jeopardy for our country,” said Riley.
The assemblywoman also asked for those in attendance to honor not only those who serve in the military, but those who also serve as members of the police force and fire companies that serve domestically.
“We have to look around our community and think about everyone that works toward the betterment of our community,” said Riley.
Assemblyman John Burzichelli also spoke at the event, saying that he remembered when the park and the monument honoring fallen soldiers were “just dreams.”
Burzichelli also emphasized the importance of those who serve in the military, pointing to the flag and saying “that stars and stripes is worth a number of lives.”
“If people don’t put on the uniform to serve our military, the value of that flag could easily get missed,” added the assemblyman. “Anyone who has worn the uniform is a hero and we need to remember that.”
As festivities wrapped up with the ceremonial placing of the reefs on the monuments honoring veterans who have died in World War II and more recent wars, Freeholder Joe Chila pointed to the Gloucester County Wall of Heroes as one that all in attendance should observe.
Chila, who also serves as the Liaison to the Office of Veteran Affairs, pointed to the additional 35 portraits added to the wall this year, including Marine Sgt. Brian McGinnis, who was killed in 2003 when his helicopter crashed while serving in Iraq.
He asked the crowd to go visit the wall at the Gloucester County Justice Complex, saying it served as an appropriate place as “a place where justice is served,” honoring those who fought to protect that justice.

Open Access Thesis
Racism--Michigan--Detroit--History; Race discrimination--Michigan--Detroit--History; African Americans--Social conditions--Michigan--Detroit--History; Detroit (Mich.)--Race relations--History; Segregation in education--Michigan--Detroit--History;
In 1954 the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education ruling nullified the Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) doctrine of "separate but equal." At the time, a racially dysfunctional America looked to the South to observe the results of the Court's sweeping statement. Few realized that, carried to its logical conclusion, the decision would necessarily bring into question the racial practices of every part of the nation. To the dismay of Northerners, blacks began to challenge the unofficial system of segregation which existed outside of the South. The most controversial aspect of this challenge centered around school desegregation and busing. When the courts acted in support of the desegregation movement in the North, the nation's white majority deftly mustered its political clout to frustrate further civil rights progress. At the center of this backlash was the school busing case which arose out of Detroit.
The 1974 case of Milliken v. Bradley dealt with the desegregation of Detroit, a large urban-suburban area which was divided along racial lines--literally as well as figuratively. As with so many other Northern cities, racial separation was achieved through public and private housing discrimination, which produced one-race neighborhoods. This, together with the discriminatory actions and inactions of school officials, affected the racial composition of neighborhood schools, which then affected housing choices made by both races--producing a more and more tightly-wound spiral of apartheid. Blacks were effectively confined to the inner city, where property values were relatively low, and where the schools they supported were hard-pressed to provide the kind of education that white suburbanites were getting. This made it difficult to compete in the job market, which made escape to the suburbs a financial impossibility--not to mention the fact that blacks were likely to be kept out of white neighborhoods one way or another, whether they had the means or not.
For blacks, then, the inclusion of suburban school districts in a plan to desegregate Detroit might be a significant step toward equal distribution of community resources. For many whites, on the other hand, this scheme threatened to burst the bubble of comfortable suburban life. Nine Supreme Court justices would finally be asked to resolve the struggle between the clashing interests of America's urban-dwellers. In a five-to-four ruling which spawned three bitter dissents, the Court invalidated cross-district desegregation. The turmoil on the Court matched that in the nation as a whole: By 1974 the urban desegregation controversy had reached the boiling point among voters, and it seemed that a confrontation between Congress and the Court was imminent. The outcome of such a case depended on the resolve of Supreme Court members to protect minorities in the face of a resistant majority. In the end, the Court championed the power of the suburbs to maintain the status quo: Integration would be limited to Detroit proper, leaving the Detroit school district heavily black and the suburban districts nearly all-white. With this ruling, the Supreme Court demarcated the limits of minority rights vis-a-vis majority rights and, according to critics, created a "formula for American Apartheid."
