Practically the entire roof of a barn and covered barnyard on the Vernon Gilfillen Sr., farm, south of Plattsville, was torn off by the “miniature tornado” that dipped down in southeastern Shelby County Friday night. The debris was deposited on Leatherwood Creek Road and in the nearby creek, between 300 and 400 feet from the wrecked barn. Some damage was reported in other sections of the county as a result of the high winds that prevailed throughout the night.
It ‘s work – the packaging, weighing and selling of nuts but it keeps us in that grand business of helping others. Altrusans said that as they busied themselves Tuesday evening with the first steps of the 1965 project – an 800 pound sale of pecans. The work was underway in the basement room of Mutual Federal Savings and Loan Association under the direction of the Altrusa ways and means committee of Miss Lois Williamson, Miss Arlene Accuntius, Miss Dorothy Duncan and Mrs. Edwin Haas.

The closest election in the history of the state is still undecided. Both Paul Pfeiffer and Senator Lee Fischer are running for a seat on the Ohio Supreme Court. Out of over 3.3 million votes cast, just 420 votes separates the two candidates. Final returns, certified, have not been received from six counties. Every vote does count.
It has everyone talking. A television show on earthquakes contained a prediction that a big quake will hit the New Madrid fault and thus Anna on December 3. The predictions is being made by Dr. Iben Browning. He said there is a 50-50 chance the event will occur. Earl Vance and other insurance agents reported that it has caused many home owners to purchase earthquake insurance. Dr. Browning feels that the alignment of the sun and moon will cause a 27 year high in forces that could cause the quake. The cost if the insurance for a wooden home worth $100,000 would by $20 a year. William Ott, a seismologist at John Carrol University, however, predicts that even if an earthquake hits, it would only cause minor damage and rattle some dishes on shelves. Dr. Donald Sherman of the University of Toledo, feels the track of the earthquake if it occurs, will be between New Madrid and Minnesota.

Wazirin Zazzau, Alhaji Ibrahim Aminu, has been suspended by the Kaduna State Government. A letter of suspension was sent to him from the Ministry of Local Government. The letter was signed by the Permanent Secretary, Musa Adamu, on behalf of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Local Government and that of Chieftaincy Affairs Jafaru Sani.
Wazirin Zazzau is a kingmaker and the Chairman of the kingmakers of Zazzau Emirate. The other four kingmakers, Limamin Gari - Alhaji Dalhatu Kasim, Limamin Kona - Muhammad Aliyu, Makama Karami - Alhaji Muhammad Abbas, and Fagacin Zazzau - Alhaji Umar Muhammad.
Waziri chaired the selection process of the new Emir of Zazzau. Waziri, Limamin Kona, and Limamin Jumma’a voted for Iyan Zazzau, while Fagaci voted for Yarima and Makama Karami for Turaki. However, Governor El-Rufai refused to consider the selection and appointed Ambassador Bamalli, despite not being considered by the kingmakers. The wrongful appointment has led to an expected lawsuit, and the pre-trial hearing will begin on 11 December 2020 at the Kaduna State High Court.
The lawsuit included eleven defendants, including the five kingmakers. The kingmakers have taken their independent lawyers where they all signed a Witness Statement on Oath.
It is understood that the new Emir and the State Government has been threatening the kingmakers to change their lawyers, for the State Attorney, so that they can change the signed Statement of Oath.
The threat, by the Emir and the state government, is what has led to the letter of query on 12 November 2020. So far, one kingmaker has accepted to take the State Attorney. The High Court of Justice in Dogarawa was also ransacked over the weekend, but nothing was taken as all the documents were kept away from the court.
It is not clear what will be done with the rest of the three kingmakers, but we remain vigilant to report. They truly need your prayers because their lives are in danger.

The RS200 gets a Bosch-made ABS system.
The Bajaj Pulsar RS200, launched in India in March this year, is the first Pulsar model to come with ABS. Fitted as an option, the ABS variant of the Pulsar RS200 costs INR 12,000 more than the non-ABS variant, ex-Showroom, Delhi. However, that has not deterred enthusiasts from ticking this option, according to Eric Vas, president of Bajaj Auto’s motorcycle business.
The executive revealed in an interview that more than 50 percent of RS200 customers have opted for the top-end ABS variant, which is priced at INR 1.3 lakhs, ex-Showroom, New Delhi. As of June this year, Bajaj says that it has received over 3,500 bookings for the RS200 pan-India.
The RS200 is based on the same frame as the Pulsar 200 NS. However, it is powered by a fuel-injected version of the 199.5 cc engine which develops 24.5 PS and 18.6 Nm of torque. Paired to a 6-speed transmission, the Pulsar RS200 has a claimed top-speed of 141 km/h.

Post the launch of the Pulsar RS200, Bajaj Auto also launched its new Adventure Sport series of motorcycles, the AS 150 and the AS 200, both of which are also based on the 200 NS's platform. Bajaj has set itself monthly targets of 2,500 units of the RS200, 10,000 units of the AS 150 and 5,000 units of the AS 200.

I have a 1987 dodge ram w150. Last weekend on my way deer hunting the speedometer stopped working and just dropped to 0. Did some looking and found that where the speedometer cable goes into the transmission is the problem. The cable itself is fine I can spin it and the speedometer moves. Took the cable off and took the piece (sorry don't know the terminology) out of the transmission that the cable connects too and found that the plastic gear seemed to be stripped and melted together and ground down. I looked inside the transmission and inside there is a purple plastic piece that the other plastic piece connects too looks to be ground down as well. My question is how hard is it to replace both the plastic peices? The one inside the transmission do I have to take the transmission out to do it? Also what are the part numbers (my Hynes book does not give me anything) and where can I get them? I tried napa but the guy at the counter could not help me. Please help.

FREE BBQ, hotdogs, burgers and recreational entertainment such as bounce houses, horses, live music and fire trucks will be a part of The Baptist Minister Alliance of Greater Rochester annual Bridging the Gap event at Helping Hand Missionary Baptist Church at 703 Joseph Avenue, on September 12, 2020.
It is enough room for social distancing; however, attendees are asked to wear their mask.
The event, which is held on the second Saturday of September, brings members of law enforcement from all over Monroe County together with community members in the City of Rochester for food and fellowship.
“It is about learning and getting to know one another,” said Rev. Donald Stevens, Pastor of Helping Hand Missionary Baptist Church and president of The Baptist Minister Alliance of Greater Rochester. "If I can use an analogy,” Pastor Stevens continued. “When you are sitting outside of the house, you can see it clearly, but it is not until someone invites you inside the house, you will never know completely what the home looks like. Bridging the Gap allows the community and law enforcement officials to see each other from a different side, a different point of view. When you break bread together, some people have the tendency to let their guards down. At the event, you are encouraged to sit down and talk with the officials and if you want, express some of your concerns. Everyone will be all ears,” he said.
In this tough time there is no one institution that can handle the complex problems that our communities are facing. What we need is a partnership.
“It is not a black and white thing, it is a good and evil, right versus wrong,” Pastor Stevens explained. “We live in an imperfect world and there is imperfection in all walks of life. You got pastors that just want to look out for themselves, just as you got some bad apples in police departments. But you do not smear the entire law enforcement institution because those few bad apples.”
“We cannot let this chance to come together pass because what happened to George Floyd was just pure evil,” he strongly suggested. “It should upset every human being that has a conscious and a moral compass. That is why we cannot let this chance pass. We must change the thinking and direction in this country. If we let this pass, shame on us.”
Bridging the Gap event at Helping Hand Missionary Baptist Church at 703 Joseph Avenue, on September 12, 2020.

Session Type: Abstract Submissions (ACR)
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is often associated with decreased physical activity (PA). Although improved disease control has opened up the possibilities for JIA-children to participate in dynamic sport activities, various limitations secondary to the disease seem to restrict an adequate integration in sport activities. Accurate, objective measurements of PA and identification of specific factors limiting PA in JIA-children are therefore needed.
This study aimed to: 1. Compare accelerometer-assessed PA in JIA-children with normative data of age- and gender-matched healthy controls. 2. Relate accelerometer-assessed PA to joint status in the lower extremities (LE) in JIA-children regarding active arthritis as well as persistent LOM (contractures) and exceeded range of motion (ROM) (hypermobility).
In 61 patients with JIA PA was assessed using the hip-worn GT1M Actigraph accelerometer during wakening hours for one week, providing at least 3 separate days each of 8 hours of valid recording accelerometer using 10 second intervals of recording (epochs).
Joint status was valuated using a joint activity count of 71 joints. Also, LE-joints (hips, knees, ankles, toes) were examined for persistent LOM and exceeded ROM (Beighton score-items including alternative items to cover all LE- joints). Demographic, disease- and pain-related parameters were also obtained.
For each age-group between 10-16 years accelerometer data of the 61 JIA patients were compared with 239±93 normative controls. Values of mean counts per minute (c/min), recorded minutes with moderate and high PA (>1000 c/min) and high PA (>2500 c/min) were significantly lower in patients than in normative controls (p≤0.004), with the more severe JIA-subcategories having the lowest values.
PA of JIA-children was significantly correlated to joint swelling (p=0.004) and LOM of the hips and the ankles, but not the knees; no matter if due to active arthritis or contractures. No significant correlations were found between PA of JIA-children and reported pain (p=0.59) and hypermobility (p=0.58).
Accelerometer-assessed PA-levels of JIA-children were significantly lower than those of normative controls. LOM of hips and ankles, but surprisingly not the knees, were significantly associated with impaired PA. This emphasizes the importance of obtaining full ROM specifically in hips and ankles of JIA-children for the purpose of adequately participating in sport activities.

I'm trying to write a scriptPubKey for a transaction which checks that the hash of the top value in the scriptSig is equal to either one of two fixed values and if so will do the normal transaction signature checks to allow the owner of a specific bitcoin address to spend them; if the scriptSig value is not equal to either one of the fixed values then the spending transaction should be marked as invalid.
I'm trying to keep the scriptPubKey as small as possible, i.e. avoiding hard-coded duplications of pubKeyHash and/or duplications of large chunks of scripting.
Here's what I've got so far...

The intention is that the transaction would pay out if ( HASH160(A)=B or HASH160(A)=C ) and sig, pubKey and pubKeyHash were all valid in the normal way.
My worry arises from OP_NOTIF; the scripting section of the Bitcoin wiki says that OP_NOTIF removes the top stack value...I assume that it is removed as the OP_NOTIF evaluates it and it is removed regardless of whether it is TRUE or FALSE. Is that correct?
The latter assumption is why I've duplicated the result of the first OP_EQUAL so that I can OP_VERIFY it after the conditional line (assuming that it was TRUE and hasn't otherwise been OP_DROPped by the conditional line).
Would my proposed scriptPubKey have the desired result (without nasty side effects) or is there something smaller/simpler (e.g. using OP_IFDUP instead of an OP_DUP and a conditional OP_DROP) or, if my script is plain wrong, what would a workable script look like?
I should say that the point of this transaction is not to effect a multi-signature transaction; it's to effect a kind of single-signature plus 1-of-2 'passwords' transaction.

|I have been doing business with this lender for the past year and we have done business on many different
levels. I find the staff to be of high caliber and credibility. Being in greater business for over 30 years, the individuals
that I can say that about are very few and far between. In short, it is very easy to do business with them, and I look forward
to our continued relationship now and into the future.
I transferred ownership of thousands of shares of stock (my entire portfolio) to the lender and promptly
received a much higher loan-to-value than I would have received through my broker and at a much lower interest rate. The transaction
went smooth as silk and I had access to the money within two business days.
I found the sales team to be knowledgeable and very professional. All my questions and concerns were answered
to my satisfaction and I am extremely confident that stock holdings will be available to me in their entirety at the end of
the loan term.
Bottom line: I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this stock loan program to my friends and colleagues
if they are in need of capital for personal or business use but may be unwilling or unable to sell their equity positions.
the past several months, I have been doing business with this lender. Our first deal together was for a client that had a
complex situation, and this team expedited the situation with finesse and professionalism. I have been in the securities business
for over 14 years and have enjoyed my experiences with this firm. This venture has been one of the most enjoyable ventures
in my tenure as a securities principal. My clients have been extremely satisfied with the lenders services and we look forward
to a long and rewarding relationship between our two firms.
Your program represents great customer service benefits, many flexible options, and really offers a tremendous
value in a marketplace that has so many confusing options.
I completed a loan transaction recently with this lender in an effort to raise some much needed capital and
wanted to take a moment to thank you for making this a smooth transaction. I was of the belief that my stock still had tremendous
upside potential; however due to the wedding, I had the need for liquidity. Your representatives showed me how it was possible
to have that liquidity and maintain the upside potential in the stock. I have to admit, I was nervous at first, but am very
glad that I gave the situation the time it took so that I was comfortable moving forward. This was a lifesaver for me and
I appreciated your patience throughout. I feel very comfortable recommending this program to others that have a need but do
not want to sell their stock.

Name: The Forgotten Army – Aazadi Ke Liye
Available on: Amazon Prime
Number of episodes: 5
Director: Kabir Khan
Cast: Sunny Kaushal
About the story: The Forgotten Army: Aazadi ke Liye is based on the true events of the Indian National Army aka Azaad Hind Fauj founded by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. It is the story of Captain Surinder Sodhi, Maya and other Indian soldiers who sacrificed their lives for India. You will get to hear this historical patriotic story in two timelines. One from young Surinder Sodhi (Sunny Kaushal), who is an officer captured by the Japanese in the Battle of Singapore while fighting for the British Indian Army.
And, another narrator of this five-episode mini-series is old Sodhi (MK Raina), who is with his young grand-nephew Amar (Karanvir Malhotra), revisiting the journey of INA. Also, going down the memory lane remembering the love of his life, Maya (Sharvari Wagh). They showcased how Indian soldiers marched towards the capital in 1942-45, with the war cry ‘Challo Dilli’, to free their country from the reign of the British. Concluding, TFA is absolutely worth watching.
This Amazon Prime series has the power to keep you captured throughout. There will not be a single moment where you will feel that it is going slow. It will give you all the patriotic feel you need right before Republic Day. Just the perfect timing to spread this wonderful story of ‘The Forgotten Army’. The title of the show justifies itself as there are many who don’t know much about the Battle of Singapore and INA. The Indian soldiers just got a memorable and valuable tribute by Kabir Khan for all the hard work and sacrifices. Despite weak scripting, TFA was successful in winning my heart through the ensemble cast. Not to mention, Sunny Kaushal and Sharvari Wagh nailed it with their skill set.
Unforgettably, efforts were surely made in the war scenes along with a huge budget. With this deep history of INA, we also got to see Maya (photographer-chronicler-soldier) and Captain Sodhi’s love story which was a bit cliche but won many hearts too. Highlighting Subhash Chandra Bose’s teachings and importance, this series would have been a hit but the writing kept it pulled back.
However, I thought that this mini-series could have also been summed up in a movie very easily. It is pretty fast-paced and the story can conveniently be narrated in the form of a film. However, some war and battle scenes have epic cinematography and will give you goosebumps if you truly are into patriotism. There are moments that will just stay with you. Moreover, the title track ‘Aaazadi Ke Liye’ will keep playing in the background and you will surely love it.
What works: Acting
What doesn’t work: Scripting
Too much Bollywood style

How to build a healthy parent-child relationship20 Feb 2018
How to build a healthy parent-child relationship
The Connected Parenting philosophy aims to guide children’s behaviour by having the parent operating from a position of openness, kindness and empathy.
In her book, Connected Parenting, family therapist Jennifer Kolari encourages parents to become more emotionally attuned to their kids. Kolari believes that correcting and guiding children’s behaviour works best when the parent operates from a position of openness, kindness and empathy – rather than from a position of anger and frustration. Kolari explains that we are best placed to help children develop skills to manage their own behaviour when we meet their emotional needs. She believes that a tough, heavy-handed approach to discipline usually exacerbates cycles of misbehaviour and escalates anxiety.

Date of this Version
The roots of white supremacy lie in the institution of negro slavery. From the 15th through the 19th century, white Europeans trafficked in abducted and enslaved Africans and justified the practice with excuses that seemed somehow to reconcile the injustice with their professed Christianity. The United States was neither the first nor the last nation to abolish slavery, but its proclaimed principles of freedom and equality were made ironic by the nation’s reluctance to extend recognition to all Americans.
“Americans” is what Mrs. Child calls those fellow countrymen of African ancestry; citizenship and equality are what she proposed beyond simple abolition. While Mrs. Child expected the Appeal to offend and alienate a significant portion of her large audience, she wrote “it has been strongly impressed upon my mind that it was a duty to fulfil this task; and earthly considerations should never stifle the voice of conscience.” Thirty years before Abraham Lincoln’s Emanicipation Proclamation, she assembled the evidence for liberation and placed it before a large national audience. Her work helped push national emancipation into the mainstream, and her research supplied a generation of later essayists and pamphleteers with essential background for the continuing debate on the most vital issue in American history.

Lenovo unveils its supersized iPhone 6 knockoff
Lenovo today unveiled its new Phab Plus smartphone, a supersized device with a 6.8-inch display that’s a blatant iPhone 6 knockoff. The device is coming to the U.S. later this month, assuming Apple’s lawyers can’t get it banned before then.
The Phab Plus may be big, but it hopes to be just like the iPhone 6 in every other way. It sports a familiar aluminum unibody design when rounded edges and integrated antennas, and even comes in the same silver, grey, and gold color options.

Biden wishes PM and people of Bangladesh on Independence Day
Washington, D.C., March 28: US President Joe Biden greeted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the people of Bangladesh on Independence Day, saying that Bangladesh deeply understands the value of freedom and liberation, as they fought bravely to determine their own destiny in 1971.
In a letter written to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the US President said, "On behalf of the United States, I wish you and the people of Bangladesh a happy Independence Day. The people of Bangladesh deeply understand the value of freedom and liberation because they fought bravely in 1971 to determine their own destiny and speak their own language."
The US Embassy in Dhaka shared the letter on Monday, in which Biden said the US and Bangladesh have achieved much together in more than 50 years of diplomatic relations. Bilateral relations over the past half century have resulted in progress in economic development, strengthening people-to-people ties, addressing global health and climate issues, partnership in humanitarian assistance to Rohingya refugees, and a commitment to building a prosperous, secure, democratic and independent Bangladesh, Biden wrote.
As US President Biden opened the border to welcome nearly one million Rohingya refugees, he praised the Bangladeshi prime minister, saying, "You have truly set an example of compassion and kindness for the world. We share a commitment to find a long-term solution to the Rohingya refugee crisis and to hold the perpetrators responsible for the atrocities accountable.”
He praised Bangladesh's demonstrated commitment to protecting the most vulnerable as the largest contributor to peacekeeping operations.
"We thank Bangladesh for co-hosting the Global Action Plan Ministerial Meeting, which significantly increased political commitment to end the global pandemic," Biden said.


US arms manufacturers are preparing to surge weapons supplies to Israel at a time when they are already under pressure to arm Ukraine and replenish depleted Pentagon stocks, a challenge analysts say will add stress to a stretched defence industrial base.
Unlike Ukraine, which has been the recipient of hundreds of tanks and armoured vehicles, Israel is primarily seeking munitions, with interceptors for its Iron Dome missile defence system at the top of the country’s wish list. Precision air-to-ground munitions and 120mm calibre tank rounds are also among Israel’s needs.
But as the conflict goes on, analysts say Israel’s defence forces could need the same kind of guided missile systems now running short in Ukraine, including armed drones, as well as 155mm artillery rounds.
President Joe Biden, who has vowed to supply Israel and Ukraine with all the weaponry they need to advance their campaigns against Hamas and Russia, respectively, insisted at the weekend that the US can meet the demands — and keep the Pentagon stocked for other contingencies, such as a war over Taiwan.
“We’re the United States of America for God’s sake, the most powerful nation in the history — not in the world, in the history of the world,” Biden said during a 60 Minutes interview that aired on Sunday. “We can take care of both of these and still maintain our overall international defence.”
Still, analysts say the Ukraine war has provided something of a wake-up call for the US defence industry, which had been de-emphasising production of weaponry needed in traditional land wars and focusing more on technologically advanced surveillance and reconnaissance systems needed for counter-terrorism missions and deterring China in the Pacific.
The need to quickly shift to increasing more traditional weaponry has been hampered by post-pandemic shortages in supplies and labour.
“The goal of supporting industry suggests that if we send these weapons to Israel, we’ll definitely have to kick-start another part of the industrial base, perhaps faster than we thought,” said Cynthia Cook at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think-tank.
Unlike Ukraine, Israel has its own defence industry and advanced weaponry — none of which has been targeted by an invading superpower. It also receives significant assistance from the US, which gives almost $4bn in military aid to Israel annually, including about $500mn for air and missile defences.
Israel also spends heavily on US weapons, having purchased roughly $53.5bn worth over the past seven decades, according to the Defence Security Cooperation Agency, including $6.5bn in the five years to 2022.
More US weaponry is coming. One US defence official said the US was “swiftly providing” Israel’s military with additional resources including munitions and equipment. The first two shipments of accelerated military assistance arrived in Israel last week, including small diameter bombs and other munitions.
The US said it would increase shipments of interceptor missiles for Israel’s Iron Dome, a sophisticated short-range air defence shield designed to protect against rockets and artillery shells of the kind fired from Gaza.
“Some Iron Dome interceptors have come out of stocks the US had in country and have gone over to the Israelis in short order,” the US defence official said. “We will be flowing in additional Iron Dome interceptors so that Israel has the capabilities they need to sustain their Iron Dome defence systems and protect their citizens and cities.”
US officials expect Israel will require additional interceptors beyond those already included in the US’s lethal aid package for the country.
Biden is expected to make an additional request for Israel and Ukraine to Congress soon, although Republican infighting in the House of Representatives has left that chamber without a Speaker, and unable to legislate or approve requests from the White House. Ukraine aid has been held up during the Speaker impasse.
The interceptors, also known as Tamir missiles, are co-produced by US defence contractor RTX, formerly Raytheon Technologies, and Israeli group Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and assembled in Israel. RTX declined to comment on the current state of Tamir production.
Other weapons sought by Israel — including air-to-ground systems such as joint direct attack munitions (JDAMs), Hellfire missiles, and small diameter bombs (SDBs) — could be easier for the US to supply, thanks to heavy investment in production. The jump in demand will be a boon to the manufacturers.
Hellfire missiles are made by Lockheed Martin, while Boeing produces JDAMs and SDBs. JDAMs in particular would be easy to surge, analysts said, and there is excess capacity for Hellfire missiles because the US government has slowed its own purchases in recent years. Israel will also need 120mm-calibre tank rounds, made by General Dynamics.
Shares in Lockheed, RTX, Northrop Grumman, and General Dynamics — four of the Pentagon’s big contractors — have risen sharply since Hamas’s attack on October 7. Only shares in Boeing, another big US defence contractor, have failed to rally.
The bigger questions for weapons supplies remain around the shape of the war — and whether Israel’s expected ground offensive in Gaza will draw in other armed groups, including Hizbollah, which has engaged Israeli forces across the Lebanese border sporadically in recent days.
A conflict with Hizbollah would significantly increase Israeli weapons needs, putting it in more direct competition with Ukraine for US supplies, analysts said.
“Everyone is watching the northern border and Hizbollah. If that gets larger, you’re going to need to talk about a different kind of conflict,” said Mark Cancian, a senior adviser with the Center for Strategic and International Studies’ international security programme.
Even if recent US diplomatic efforts succeed in stopping Hizbollah from opening a northern front in the war, the kind of warfare Israel undertakes in Gaza will determine its need for basic armaments, he added.
If Israel continues “sniping” at Hamas, it would need fewer munitions because the army would not go “door to door”, Cancian said. But a longer, full invasion of the densely populated strip of territory would be another matter, sharply increasing Israeli demand for US supplies.
“Do they make a full-scale ground attack? In which case they’re going to need a lot of munitions,” Cancian said.

*Talking Real Solutions*
**By Tony Garritano**
***Just in case you’re wondering, I will not be talking about the President’s plan to prevent future foreclosures. In my view it boils down to election year politics. We’ve had a foreclosure crisis for his entire term, yet he just now is looking to resolve the issue with a serious plan. Instead, I will congratulate the President for his efforts and I hope that I will be able to talk here in this column about the positive change that this new push has enabled real soon. Instead, I want to talk about how mortgage professionals are dealing with new rules and regulations now and seeing success. Here’s one example of how resilient the mortgage industry can be when pushed:
****Property Sciences, a national real estate appraisal firm, is getting through UAD and all the rest by using ACI’s Appraisal.com portal to deliver reports to the Uniform Collateral Data Portal (UCDP).
****“Property Sciences’ integration through ACI’s UCDP Appraisal Submission Service via Appraisal.com has allowed our lender clients to seamlessly deliver appraisals to the agencies and easily manage exceptions through our platform,” said Dean Huynh, vice president of Property Sciences. “Compliance and technology continue to be at the forefront of the mortgage industry. Property Sciences’ integration saves our lenders valuable time and establishes a regulatory-compliant delivery solution.”
****New Uniform Appraisal Dataset compliance requirements from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac went into effect on December 1, 2011. UCDP requires all appraisals be supplied in MISMO XML format or as a first-generation PDF. Appraisal.com provides a seamless interface between systems to facilitate compliant delivery of appraisal reports, allowing appraisal management companies and lenders to focus on workflow and business needs.
****“Our delivery solution for UCDP is designed to integrate to the sender’s system of record so that submissions can be executed automatically as part of the normal appraisal acceptance workflow,” said George Opelka, senior vice president of ACI. “The connectivity through Appraisal.com enables agents and lenders to ensure that Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD) compliance is seamless within their existing appraisal management processes.”
****You see, the mortgage industry can solve its issues, including improving the appraisal process, when pushed, it’s just too bad that the industry has to be pushed before acting. However, as the old saying goes: Better late then never.
Tony Garritano is chairman and founder at PROGRESS in Lending Association. As a speaker Tony has worked hard to inform executives about how technology should be a tool used to further business objectives. For over 10 years he has worked as a journalist, researcher and speaker in the mortgage technology space. Starting this association was the next step for someone like Tony, who has dedicated his career to providing mortgage executives with the information needed to make informed technology decisions.

UN targets zero hunger in a generation as numbers fall
The number of hungry people around the world has dropped below 800 million for the first time since the UN started counting, the Food and Agriculture Organisation said in an annual report on Wednesday.
The Rome-based agency said there are 795 million people around the world suffering from hunger, 216 million fewer than in 1990-92, and that the world was on track to potentially eradicate the problem within the lifetime of today’s young people.
“The near-achievement of the MDG hunger targets shows us that we can indeed eliminate the scourge of hunger in our lifetime,” said FAO director general Jose Graziano da Silva.
“We must be the zero hunger generation.”
In the developing world, the prevalence of undernourishment has declined to 12.9 percent of the population from 23.3 percent a quarter of a century ago, the report found.
A total of 72 out of 129 countries monitored by the FAO have achieved the Millennium Development Goal target of halving the prevalence of undernourishment by this year and developing regions as a whole only missed the objective by a narrow margin.
The improvement in food security was all the more striking given the world’s population has grown by 1.9 billion since 1990, meaning many more mouths to feed, the FAO noted.
But while the situation had significantly improved over the past two decades, progress in recent years had been hampered by natural disasters, extreme weather events, political instability and civil conflicts, the report said.
The longevity of crises had also evolved over the years, morphing from “catastrophic, short-term, acute and highly visible events” to “protracted situations” fuelled by conflicts, climate change and financial turmoil.
– ‘Darker shadows’ –
In geographical terms, the gains on the global nutrition front were clouded by what the FAO called “darker shadows” in some regions.
In Africa, 24 countries currently face food crises, twice as many as in 1990.
With nearly one in four people affected by undernourishment, sub-Saharan Africa was the region worst-affected by hunger, the report showed.
East Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and southeast and central Asia all posted strong reductions in hunger by contrast.
The UN agency pointed to three factors as being critical in combatting food shortages: improving agricultural productivity, promoting inclusive growth and expanding social protection.
Those African countries that had achieved their UN food targets — mainly in West Africa — had done so by boosting the productivity of their farmers, it said.
The expansion of social programmes, such as cash payments to poor families, food vouchers and school meal programmes, also “correlated strongly with progress in hunger reduction”, it found.
But more than two-thirds of the world’s poor have no access to social support, the report said.

Get to know our volunteers!
Do you volunteer at a specific hospital? City of Hope- Jason Pollack Bedside Performance Program
How long have you been volunteering with Musicians On Call? 3 years as of April 11th!
Are you a Volunteer Guide or Volunteer Musician? Guide
What is your occupation outside of MOC? City of Duarte Volunteer Coordinator/AmeriCorps Lead
Do you have any hidden talents? Finding other people’s talents/strengths and helping them find opportunities to achieve many things. 🙂 I really enjoy helping others, and of course singing!
What is your story? What connects you with music and why do you volunteer with MOC? I became interested in MOC when I came across a flyer promoting MOC in the PEDs unit during my morning shift at City of Hope. Since I had been singing in a choir for a few months, I thought that it would be nice to help make others feel better by singing to them. I got in contact with the program director, told her I was interested and asked if it were possible to see the program in person. She agreed and asked if I could have a song ready to audition with an accompanist.
At the time I didn’t know many instrumentalists but decided to ask the guitar player of my choir if he was interested. Sam agreed, and so we decided on a song we were both familiar with; knowing I was a huge Adele fan, we went with “Rolling in the Deep”. I didn’t know what to expect during my first visit, but I will never forget it. Mckail Seely, a very talented singer, was the musician who was scheduled to perform that day. During that one visit, I truly witnessed the healing power of music. I saw many smiles from patients, family members, and staff. I saw people getting emotional and crying because of how much it meant for them to have someone do this for them. That day I learned how It’s one thing talking/imagining this program, but to see/experience it in person is a unique and wonderful thing. I got the opportunity to sing for MOC for the first time that same day. I was really nervous but thought about the patient instead of my emotions. The patient was so happy when we were done that I left with a sense of devotion. The devotion to bringing happiness to others during a time of need. I had never experienced it until that day. Although my original intention to join MOC was for the musician position, through my conversation with Daniela ( LA director) I found out there weren’t enough volunteer guides for the program. Since I already volunteered in the mornings and I lived closer to COH I offered to help fill in some weeks until she had more volunteers guides. I spent the next few weeks shadowing/training to become a guide. For the next 2 years, I was both a musician/guide for the program, during which Sam and I made 21 visits and performed for 1,110 individuals. I always looked forward to my MOC day, especially when we performed. Sam moved about a year ago and I stopped singing for the program but still continue as a guide. It’s been months since the last time I sang for the program with my own partner & I miss it a lot. But I still feel very blessed for being part of MOC and know I’m still making a difference. Through MOC I learned more about myself and how connecting with others with music is such a special thing. Through my experience with MOC I gained so much knowledge, skills, and encouragement. I was a very shy and quiet person before I began my journey with the program, but MOC gave me the courage to pursue more opportunities with my singing and it has led me to work/meet with many other talented musicians. I volunteer with MOC because music has helped me throughout my life and I never imagined I would have the opportunity to do it for others. I hope in continuing my journey as a MOC member for years to come.
What makes MOC different from your other volunteer experiences? It’s a unique experience for people to connect and heal through the power of music. Making someone’s sadness and pain go away by making their day with a song has just been very life changing. I believe every musician should be a part of this.
Has your life changed because of your experience with MOC? YES! In so many ways! I have experienced and met so many talented/great people thanks to MOC!
What is your favorite #MOCmoment? There are so many! Its hard to just pick one. My most favorite occurred during one of my visits as a musician with my music partner Sam. We performed for so many patients and families during that time. I loved doing Adele covers, so decided to sing “Set Fire to the Rain” for a patient who had mentioned she had a daughter who was also a musician. We performed to song and the room became quiet for a moment. She began to cry and smiled.
She then said, “I have seen/heard many musicians & great performances. But what you both have done for me today is beyond words. What you and this program do, is a blessing to those of us who have lost hope. It’s great thing you all do. I hope you continue this path in sharing your gifts with those who need it the most. Those of us who are going through dark times. The world needs more people like you to bring a light of hope in our hearts. I believe that today you were both meant to be here at this exact moment. I was having a very bad day, but this has completely turned it around. I feel very warm inside. It’s thanks to you both. The only thing I can really say is thank you. Please continue sharing this marvelous experience with those in need of it.”
For the next 15-20 min we talked about the healing power of music & how music brings people together. She then went on to ask us about our experiences as musicians and asked why we joined MOC. This moment meant so much to me because I never thought I could do or be part of something that would touch a person’s life in that way. Till this day, that conversation resonates in my memory. As much as I had impacted that patients life, that moment made me realize how grateful and bless I am to have music & MOC as part of my life.

Article by Bethany Seed
The Big Tech giants; Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Meta have come under fire in recent weeks. They have lost billions in the stock market and are being criticised by authorities in competition law and financial services.
After Meta dropped over 24%, the other big tech companies followed suit. According to the Nasdaq 100, Apple, Alphabet and Microsoft shares are down between 2-3%, with Amazon dropping a whopping 17.5%.
This resulted in an almost $1tn loss of value for the companies, which the Financial Times noted, was the result of the “slowing global economy and mounting cost pressures.”
Wall Street analysts have warned that the drop in tech stock prices could signal a wider economic issue. The low earnings results demonstrate that inflation and increased interest rates are significantly affecting people and businesses. These figures come as a shock considering that Christmas is right around the corner; the company forecasts that the indicated revenue in this period will likely be up to $15bn below the predicted revenue.
This month also saw the introduction of the Digital Markets Act 2022. The Regulation was proposed in 2020 and was agreed upon in March 2022 by the Council and European Parliament. The European Commission has been clear on its aims to ensure a fair digital economy by adapting its legislation to respond to technological advances and growing changes in the digital world. The aim of the Act is to start a process which forces the Big Tech companies to make their platforms more open and interoperable in 2023. Currently, the Big Tech companies are monopolising the digital markets; with iPhones only supporting Apple apps and Google phones only supporting Google apps, it is almost impossible for smaller businesses to compete with the giants.
The DMA 2022 will prevent certain practices used by the platforms acting as gatekeepers and give more powers to the Commission to conduct market investigations and sanction non-compliant behaviour. The result of this will be that platforms, such as Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger, are opened up to interoperate with smaller messaging platforms. In addition, the use of personal data collected on these platforms will only be allowed with the explicit consent of the party. The penalty for non-compliance with these rules could result in up to a 10% fine of the company’s total turnover in the previous financial year and up to 20% for repeated infringements.
The impact of the DMA 2022 will be significant. Consumers of the platforms will have the choice to use core services provided by Big Tech companies without the fear of losing control of their personal data. The rules are set out to avoid overregulation of smaller businesses and it makes online advertising much fairer. These regulations came into force on the 1st of November 2022, and it is expected that all businesses in the digital space will be compliant with the regulations within six months.
The Act will be shortly followed by the Digital Services Act, which will introduce the requirement for companies to complete risk assessments of some of their algorithms and disclosures about automated decision-making and data from numerous apps for scrutiny. Service providers will have until 2024 to comply with the provisions of the Act, which seeks to introduce frameworks on independent audits, payment of a supervisory fee and procedural regulations.
The European Commission will charge large online platforms a fee proportionate to the platform which will be based on their annual estimated costs. The procedural regulations will mirror those in the DMA regarding market monitoring and access to documents, but not on how authorities can carry out inspections. Further, large online platforms will have to conduct independent audits to verify their compliance with their obligations of due diligence once a year.
For a decade, the tech industry has been one of the most rapidly growing sectors and has impacted the economy exponentially. Whilst most of these businesses are not financial in nature, being more focused on search engines and social media platforms, several of the Big Tech companies are breaking their way into the financial services sector.
Recently, initiatives such as Apple’s credit card and “buy now pay later” feature, as well as Amazon’s new online insurance policy demonstrates these tech companies’ interest in the financial markets. However, there has been no specific damage done to the sector by these companies yet. Without regulation, there is a possibility for these Big Tech companies to harm healthy competition in financial markets in the future.
The FCA has indicated that whilst big tech companies could further the financial services industry and drive down costs, they could also have a detrimental effect on the sector by potentially exploiting their market power. The companies have the power to exploit consumers’ data to push and advertise their own products, whilst limiting access to smaller businesses in the market. The introduction of payment methods, such as Google Pay and Apple Pay, have put Apple and Alphabet in a strong financial position, and show that already the Big Tech companies are becoming forces in financial tech. The global recognition of these brand names and their use of customer data could lead to them quickly monopolising the financial markets.
In an effort to nip this issue in the bud, the FCA is launching an inquiry into the involvement of Big Tech in financial services. The FCA’s executive director of consumers and competition Sheldon Mills has expressed that there is the potential for Big Tech companies to massively benefit the financial services sector. He states that as long as we “balance those risks of bias and discrimination” strict regulation of the market would encourage a positive impact of Big Tech in finance. Amazon, Apple, Alphabet and Meta are yet to comment on the FCA’s inquiry and what it means for the Big Tech companies.
Despite the success of the tech sector during COVID, the cost of living crisis and the impending recession has hit the Big Tech companies hard, and it is being questioned whether the industry will ever recover.
Regardless of regulations and competition law, it is clear that the Big Tech companies are looking to break into the financial services market and we have yet to see if this will make or break the market, or if the stringent regulations will impede their business.

Linear Motion Control - 2021-12-06
Swedish start-up company Ocean Harvesting is harnessing a new inexhaustible source of energy. With a floating buoy it is possible to convert the up-and-down motion of the sea surface into electrical energy, where heavy-duty ball screws from NSK have an important role to play.
Even if the share of renewable energy generation is constantly increasing; in view of the ambitious goals for reducing CO2 emissions, the world must develop new, sustainable sources of energy generation.
Ocean Harvesting has developed a solution that extracts energy from the motion of sea waves. The basic idea of the system, called InfinityWEC (Wave Energy Converter), centres on buoys attached to the seabed. Ocean swells cause the buoys to rise and fall, with this movement captured by a hydraulic constant-force spring system (a hydraulic cylinder connected to a large gas volume) and two heavy-duty ball screws from NSK. The nuts of ball screws connect directly to the cylinder, thus converting up and down linear movement into a rotary motion (of the ball screw spindle) that acts directly on a generator to produce electrical power.
Many detailed solutions had to be developed before this elegant and sustainable concept could be put into practice. For instance, it is essential to guarantee the optimum alignment of the buoy motion for each individual wave, as this is vital for effective energy generation. It is also necessary to guarantee the downward return movement of the ball screw nut, a task performed by the hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder stores part of the energy generated due to the buoyancy force and releases it to the ball screw when it moves down.
Choosing the drive system for these functions also required great diligence - especially as the drive constantly operates under adverse environmental conditions (sealed under water) with limited possibility of performing maintenance.
Mikael Sidenmark, CEO of Ocean Harvesting Technologies AB, explains: "Compared with winches and rack and pinion drives we evaluated, we found that ball screws are the best option to provide high force, long stroke, high efficiency and high rotary output to the generator."
The company’s engineers opted for NSK because of the very long service life of the heavy-duty ball screws from NSK's HTF series. Mikael Sidenmark states: "The ball screws are expected to perform 100 million load cycles in 20 years - that's very demanding.” Another reason for collaborating with NSK, says Sidenmark, is the good level of support available.
The development of HTF series heavy-duty ball screws was originally to serve heavy-duty machine tool applications, such as presses and other forming machines, as well as injection moulding machines with electric rather than hydraulic drives. Thanks to their ability to withstand very high loads while achieving exceptionally long service life, HTF series ball screws are also suitable for other infrastructure applications, like damping elements in innovative systems that help protect high-rise buildings from earthquakes.
Ocean Harvesting is currently testing a prototype of the ‘InfinityWEC’ on a scale of 1:10. If satisfactory, testing of a 1:3 scale prototype will take place. In 2024 there will be a first full-size ‘wave energy plant’ to prove its viability. In the meantime, NSK will also be busy with development work, designing and manufacturing an HTF heavy-duty ball screw in the size required by Ocean Harvesting.
