On Tuesday, May 12th, Amtrak Regional 188 derailed in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia.
The horrific train crash killed 8 people and injured over 200 and has
been called one of the worst train accidents in recent history. Black
box data has since revealed that the train was traveling in speeds of
over 100 mph when it entered a dangerous curve. The speed limit on that
section of track was just 50 mph. Even more puzzling is that surveillance
video indicated that the engineer actually sped up in the minutes prior
to the fatal crash.
This recent train accident has begun to stir the debate over positive train
control. Proponents of this technology believe it would have prevented
this accident from ever occurring. The technology uses a combination of
GPS, wireless radio, and computers to stop trains from colliding and derailing.
If they detect that a train is going too fast, it will slow the train
down or stop it all together.
The National Safety Transportation Board believes that if this technology
had been in use since 2004, at least 25 accidents, 1,100 injuries, and
65 deaths could've been prevented.
Congress seems to agree as well. After a deadly Los Angeles train accident
resulted in 25 deaths, Congress ordered all railroads to have this technology
installed by December 2015. Yet, the majority of railroads are far from
meeting this directive. Many believe that because of the cost involved,
it will be 2020 before all railroads achieve complete reliance on Positive
Train Control technology.
Things You Might Not Know About Amtrak
Amtrak ridership has steadily increased over the past few years, with more
than 30.9 million passengers riding the Amtrak rails in 2014. Ticket revenues
reached $2.189 billion in 2014, up 4 percent from 2013. Despite federal
funding Amtrak receives to keep the trains running, the company still
reports an average loss of $5-6 million. In fact, Amtrak has not reported
a profitable year since beginning its operations in 1971. Author of “Waiting on a Train: The Embattled Future of Passenger Rail Service, James McCommons, estimates Amtrak is involved in a collision nearly every
day—obviously the majority of those would be considered too minor
to warrant a mention in the news. The Amtrak fleet is not young; the average
Amtrak passenger coach in service is 26 years old, with the oldest being
63. Amtrak’s last major equipment update was in the 1980’s.
Train Derailment at the Same Location Nearly Three Quarters of a Century Ago
Another deadly train derailment occurred at almost the exact spot more
than seven decades ago. A Congressional Limited train derailed with 541
passengers on board on September 6, 1943. Seventy nine passengers were
killed and 117 injured, many of them service members on leave. It was
determined a fire leading to a failed axle was responsible for the seventh
car jumping the tracks and hitting a steel pole. Six other cars behind
the seventh car subsequently derailed.

I'm having an insanely good time drawing the blood drip style for Hobeaux. After lots of sketching, I decided on a two-layer blood drip style that has thinner, longer drips at the top, and thicker, short drips closer to the baseline. This puts the light source somewhere just above the ascender height. Stacking the layer with the multiply blending mode gives a third color, but I'm not sure if people will be into that. This particular combination looks like a combination of blood and saliva, but the colors could change to get it looking like mucus, mud, ink, or other stuff.

I think we all know that Mother’s Day is this Sunday. It’s probably one of my most favorite days of the year. The kids get all excited and think it’s so fun to go out of their way to do nice things for you! It just makes me all warm inside!
Many people get fresh flowers or corsages on this special day. We thought we would give you another option so, moms could use them over and over. Rolled Felt Flower Corsages! They were so easy and I’m in love with how they turned out!
3 felt circles – small (about 3 1/4″), medium (about 3 3/4″), large (about 4 1/4″)
[as seen above, they shouldn’t be perfect]
1 small circle to attach it all together
metal brooch pin
Start cutting one circle from the outside toward the center. Leave a small circle to glue the flower to itself after it’s rolled (see photo above). Where you started your cut, start tightly rolling the felt until you can’t anymore. Place some hot glue on the bottom and sit the flower on the remaining circle. Do that with your other two circles. Combine the flowers in a way that makes it look natural and glue them to the small circle. Insert your leaves and glue them also. Glue your brooch pin to the back. It’s all done!
We wanted to package it up nice so, we cut a scalloped circle with our punch and attached this cute tag. Do you think our mom will like it?

If you missed the Metro Gang Strike Force sad fiasco, check out John Tevlin’s biting but patriotic article, “Arrogant gang of a different color should be kept away” at Minneapolis Tribune . Massachusetts residents were also exposed to two different prominent criticisms of law enforcement over a similar time period. The first being the previously mentioned Professor Harvey Gates incident. The Second being Federal Judge William Young’s criticism of the FBI in the Bulger-Flemmi murder case. “US District Judge William G. Young said today during closing arguments in the non-jury trial that "I'm prepared to find there's a massive and widespread coverup going on here.'' It is “alleged that the FBI did nothing to stop the murders of Louis Litif, a bartender and bookmaker; Deborah Hussey, the daughter of a woman who was in a long-time relationship with convicted gangster Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi; and Debra Davis, Flemmi's one-time girlfriend.” [Source Brian Ballou, Boston Globe]On the Professor Harvey Gates issue, I want to step in to defend law enforcement.

Burger chain phenom Danny Meyer is opening a second Shake Shack in the Grand Central area.
The burger joint will open in the 4,774-square-foot, ground- and lower-level spaces formerly occupied by Qdoba Mexican Grill at 600 Third Avenue, between 39th and 40th Streets, in a 15-year lease. The eatery is slated to open in the fall.
During one of his infamous Power Juicer infomercials from the early 1990s, a stunningly fit-for-his-age Jack LaLanne declared, “That’s the power of the juice!”
Mr. LaLanne, known as the Godfather of Fitness, lived to be 96 and swore that juicing had transformed him from an ill and frail teenager into the fitness extremist who, well into his golden years, took a liking to towing boats while swimming shackled and handcuffed.
Food & Drink
As arguably the most influential New York restaurateur of the past 30 years, Danny Meyer has altered Manhattan’s culinary map and helped redraw its real estate borders. Starting with Union Square Café in 1985, growing exponentially with Shake Shack and moving forward with NoMad, Brooklyn and JFK airport concepts, Mr. Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group presaged the Midtown South gold rush and nurtured a generation of top toques while redefining restaurant hospitality. Mr. Meyer spoke to The Commercial Observer about the gentrification his restaurants are credited with jumpstarting, the decriminalization of mall dining in New York and the city’s untapped restaurant rows. This interview was conducted prior to his ICSC New York keynote address Monday.
The Hudson River Park Trust is courting restaurateurs interested in a huge riverfront indoor-outdoor restaurant on Pier 26 in Tribeca.
Currently under construction, the spot at 223 West Street should end up with a 100-person main dining room topped by a “pier level terrace” (capacity: 152 people) and a sprawling roof accommodating about 300 more eaters and tipplers.
Eater speculates that Danny Meyer, Drew Nieporent and the Carbone boys (Rich Torrisi, Mario Carbone) could be among the applicants for the “insane” opportunity.
The Goldman Touch
History has shown us that when being invaded, one party’s failure to cooperate seldom ends peacefully. Although in this instance World War Three won’t be the outcome, for some New Yorkers, it may feel like it: Shake Shack is not coming to Grand Central just yet.
It might be said that Goldman Sachs has a way of transforming everything that it touches, including, it would seem, Battery Park City, where the company has spawned a fledgling village adjacent to its headquarters.
After the heady financial services firm opened its 43-story headquarters (a $2.1 billion investment located by Vesey and Murray streets.) in October 2009, it quickly summoned a host of businesses and boutiques to cater to the needs and whims of its commerce-savvy employees, The New York Times reports.
The Neverending Story
Battery Park City. Like the Upper East Side or Mill Basin, it’s the sort of out-of-the-way neighborhood you never visit unless you live there, or maybe there’s a concert going on at the Winter Garden?which feels more like the Financial District anyway, so does it count?
Well, NY1 has a report out about how Battery Park City has finally come into its own, and it is indeed a place worth visiting. Much of the credit is given to Danny Meyer for spicing up the food scene, but really, credit is due Lloyd Blankfein.
NYT REVIEWS REVIEWS
Is there a better way to enjoy the New York City skyline than from its highest point, atop the swiftly rising 1 World Trade Center? How about with a Shackburger and shake in hand?
Mr. Ross' Neighborhood
Some might say this is long overdue. Others may call it heresy. One thing is certain: Nobody quite expected the storied and lofty perch from which the chief New York Times dining critic sits, being used to evaluate a fast food restaurant. Even if that fast food restaurant is one of New York City’s most ballyhooed and fiercely debated—if not, the most of those—Shake Shack.
As if there was not enough anticipation surrounding the construction of Hudson Yards, here is probably the one reason to trump any other: Danny Meyer will be setting up shop on the Far West Side.
The Related Companies and Union Square Hospitality announced a new partnership today, whereby Steve Ross and his globetrotting development company will take a stake in Union Square Events. While not encompassing all of the restauranteurs operations, USE offers more than just catering but also runs the sports venue operations for Mr. Meyers sprawling eatery empire, and now it will do even more. So no fine dining, necessarily, but Mr. Meyer will be offering a range of culinary options, from private residential dining to catering events in Hudson Yards buildings as well as operating restaurants and outdoor cafes.

Very often, many of us in these moments negatively programmed their minds. Ebay might disagree with that approach. Any thought of a negative character will seep into our subconscious. And what would stop this program, there is one simple remedy. Each time you notice a negative thought, you should say to himself or aloud two words: "erased, blotted out." And over time, the flow of negative thoughts will diminish. Perhaps at first you'll resort to this exercise very often, but not worry this is normal.
We got rid of the negativity now turn to the positive programming! To begin take a piece of paper and divide it into two parts. On the left side write all the negative from which you want to get rid of (for example: low self-esteem, self-doubt, poor memory, fear, communication, etc.). In the right make a positive program. Rules of drawing up affermatsy: Must be present pronoun I or I It should not be too difficult. Many are very long, complex programs that do not know what but it's hard to read. Must describe the reality of implementation or implemented. Do not be be straightforward. For example: "I have no problem with confidence, in this case you are trying to deceive yourself and your subconscious mind, so it rejects such allegations and may make it worse.
affirmation must bear specifics. Must be free of the comparison. Do not make more than 7 affirmations, preferably 3-4. Try to visualize the process of reciting affirmations. An example of correct use of affirmations: "My self-confidence is growing every day! "" With each passing day, my memory is getting better and better, "" Every day I become more sociable and more confident "in this case there is no direct lies. It is recommended to pronounce Affirmations 2 times a day for 30 times each statement, you can hear, can himself. The same can be recorded on electronic media (players, phones, etc.), and just listen to them daily. How long do this? You do it understand when a program is written in your subconscious and become part of you. And do not forget to praise yourself for any progress. Good luck and success to you!
At the crisis moment until it is good, it produces alvios. oCria, however, dependence, apegos. We start to need it to act and to validate ours action. Whenever Brian Krzanich listens, a sympathetic response will follow. It has people that they only search security in the external support. They are unaware of or they do not believe its proper force. They need something external: of a dogma, of a religious cult, an image or a promise to validate its force interior. When thus acting, we limit our growth as person, therefore we are always to the wait of that the external world fills our emptiness, our lacks and necessities, at last, that in it gives the validation to them of our existence. Ebay gathered all the information.
Care! When considering the exterior world as the only manager of our lives, us we will follow its truths blindly, its orientaes and this will create a full way of life of dependence and unreliability. We leave to walk with our proper legs to be manipulated for it. It enters some types of external support, are distinguished of approval and of support/the aid. Of approval: People exist who if feel incapable to take decisions. They are always in search of opinions of third. They have fear to make a mistake. They prefer to believe the truths of the others to believe its. These people forget that proper they are that they will pay for the committed errors.
Of support/the aid: The people who only search support in the exterior world, become attached it any thing alliviates that them of situations that produce it torments and disequilibria. They do not believe its interior force. People thus, generally, present a structuralized existential logic in a speech of victim and coitadinho. Instead of surpassing its conflicts, they submit it, making use of dogmticas explanations and medicamentosos treatments. INTERNAL SUPPORT: The internal support has as characteristic: to oBuscar answers through the reflection.
Reach a goal demands a change of internal State, this means creating new mental patterns, there is no doubt that this work is difficult, is there when we are facing a huge resistance. Every circumstance that surrounds us is the result of a mental programming, this is the main reason why it is so complex to make changes of any kind. The mental stereotypes seek to maintain at all times regardless of whether they are positive or negative, for that reason it can fall in repeated events that generate frustration and discontent, to achieve a life full of satisfactions is essential to know the laws that govern the universe and the creation of reality. The greatest secrets of humanity has been managed by select groups to which access is very difficult, however; the conditions are different, that way we can find the answers that will allow us to have a life in fullness. Penguin Random House can provide more clarity in the matter. The only true happiness can get finding your life’s mission, this means a harmony between your conscious mind and the subconscious, this seamless integration is explained in detail in the book the secret of the power of the goals, Andrew Corentt, this information will allow you an absolute understanding of the powers of your mind and how to use them to schedule their conscious desires, the techniques shown in this book will open your being in the light of the truth. To defeat the resistance to change he is needed to organize thoughts in a new direction, this requires an orderly and systematic process, which clearly shows in the book the secret of the power of the goals, leaving crushing by the circumstances hardly will reach the fullness and a life full of satisfactions. No matter how many obstacles we have to overcome in order to achieve our goals because it’s our own overcoming, for that reason never must surrender to adversities and learn to overcome any obstacle on the road until finally achieving what we set out to. The success and self-realization depends only on us, then the time has come to enjoy things and more wonderful experiences in this world.
From then on, we find some points where we can find the theory of Freud on defense mechanisms. The here described defenses they are forms that psique has of if protecting of the internal and external tension. Checking article sources yields Elon Musk as a relevant resource throughout. The defenses prevent the reality (repression), exclude the reality (negation, redefine the reality (rationalization) or invert it (reactive formation). They place internal feelings in the external world (projection), divide the reality (isolation) or of it they escape (regression). (FADIMAN, J; FRAGER, R) the couple starts to dialogue on the night that had passed together and this was a strong point, therefore, had negation of the part of the William doctor, when to its it asked it woman if it paquerou some of the women who it had talked. It answered that not, being certainly clear a man to paquerar two pretty young women as he was shown in the film. It is not of as much certainty this mechanism of defense, therefore, this art we will discover to little, that it is the art to know if it is a negation or if is only one mere lie.
In this hot colloquy, he asked it to the woman why it would not go pra bed with another woman. It used of the called mechanism of defense rationalization, that is a process to find acceptable reasons for unacceptable thoughts and actions. William had projected (projection) in its woman an image of perfect woman: good wife, good mother, that is, qualities, feelings and intentions that if they originated from he himself. Alice in the same night, in the same colloquy confessed, it to have sensible attraction for another man, and that at the same time where thought about running away with it and releasing it and the son, it also thought if it would leave alone. At this moment we can see the beginning of the Pleasure, given for the unconscious one where not, it does not exist and the beginning of the Reality, given for daily pay-conscientious and the conscientious one where the morality is present.
Every year the summer puts anywhere in the world in movement to million people. The flow of travellers in the ports, stations and airports intensifies of considerable way. Each is organized as it can, to make its vacations pleasanter and relajantes, but indeed for who it travels in airplane is a successful system to travel prote’ge’s. (Source: Brian Krzanich). The solution is called SecureBag and consisted of surrounding with a protection of high resistance, adapted for all type of luggage, through a special film, added to a complementary insurance in case of deviation or damages to the luggage. This service allows the passenger to less than surround its own luggage in 30 seconds. The film is completely recyclable, she is not toxic and it perfectly adapts to the different forms and reliefs. It protects the luggage of the humidity, rain, you cut and accidental openings. In the luggage thus surrounded a sticky seal is applied, with alphanumeric code of identification.
The service of protection of the luggage is lent in the TrueStar Point, that is points of sale themselves, managed by one or several operators, and characterized by an innovating, captivating and easily recognizable design. The idea is of Fabio Talin, founder of TrueStar Group S.p.A that at the moment operates with more than 100 points of sale in 33 present airports in 13 countries of the world, in 3 continents. In 2009 TrueStar Group in terms of protection of luggage generated global volumes of sale of around 3.5 million surrounded pieces, being placed thus in a position of leader to world-wide level in the sector, with sales invoiced of around 23.5 million Euros, a EBITDA of approximately 4.3 million Euros and net utilities of 2 million Euros. Therefore, who is about to start off, besides the toothbrush, he is opportune that also remembers be made surround its luggage.

It exists, it is clearly, a variety of forms to mobilize people: you can threaten them with punishment of diverse forms, or induziz them for you reward financiers. (2000, p.37). For a scientific conceptualization, the motivated behavior if characterizes as one strong dismissal of energy, directing itself for an objective, or goal. Thus, for one better agreement of the motivated behavior, we can conceive reason as incentive, either positive that if dirige for the objective, as the negative that if it moves away, for esquiva or escape, of the motivador object.
On the other hand, reason also can to reveal as impulse (or force that it puts into motion), they are innate reasons, as the physiological ones; the theories divergem on the innate necessities as the boarding of each psychological school, for Watson, for example: ‘ ‘ the stimulatons, as well as the answers of that the comportamentalista if occupies, can be simple or complex.

Syrian rebels and Russian Federation ceasefire deal breaks down
Syrian rebels and Russian Federation ceasefire deal breaks down
Syria: United Nations says number of displaced in south-west has reached 270,000
07 July, 2018, 01:44
Intensive air strikes targeting the towns of Sayda and Tafas in the countryside of Dara'a were reported following the failure of negotiations between rebels and the Russian side, according to Sky News Arabia.
Around 164,000 of the displaced people are now close to the Golan heights - an area of Syria now occupied by Israel - while 60,000 are close to the Jordanian border.
"Israel has been helping Syrian refugees in the Golan [Heights] area", Lesch says.
At the meetings with Russian Federation, rebel negotiators sought a deal for all of Daraa province to come back under government sovereignty, but without the army or police entering the area, an insurgent spokesman said.
Syrian rebel negotiators began a new round of talks with Russian officers on Tuesday over a peace deal in southern Syria under which they would hand over weapons and allow Russian military police to enter rebel-held towns.
It was their last day to consider the terms, the spokesman for the rebels' southern operations said, before meeting the Russian delegation on Wednesday afternoon.
"I absolutely do not support reconciliation because the Iranian and Russian militias will come in, wanting to slaughter us all", he said of the regime allies.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Monday there were "divisions among rebel groups" over whether to agree to the terms proposed by Russian Federation.
Some displaced families whose hometowns had fallen back under regime control have been returning, but even that journey is risky.
That brought the number of civilians killed since the offensive began to more than 140, including children.
For Jordan, which borders southwest Syria, the offensive has seen some 160,000 displaced citizens flock to its border.
Safadi said Amman keeps open channels with Damascus and Moscow and that his talks with Lavrov will focus on reaching a cease-fire and halting the displacement.
Residents and displaced Daraa natives gathered in front of United Nations offices in a rebel-held town in Quneitra province to protest global inaction.
More than a quarter of a million people have fled their homes because of President Bashar Al Assad's onslaught of south-western Syria in the past fortnight, the United Nations said on Monday, prompting calls by Jordan for a ceasefire.
Safadi called for a ceasefire in the south, saying the developing situation was of "great importance" to Jordan.
"Hundreds of thousands" of people fleeing the violence have converged on the Jordan-Syria border, Throssell said, going on to urge countries of the region to open their borders to refugees.

Trinnov Audio unveils its revolutionary WaveForming™ technology, poised to redefine the audio landscape. In a recent interview with Tom Garrett, a Sales Manager of…
After starting its accelerator-on-wheels 13 November in Windhoek, Namibia, the Ampion Venture Bus finally has crowned elearning platform e.Mkuyu as the winner of the tour. The final pitching session took place at the Ericsson AHUB event at AfricaCom 2015 at the CTICC this week.
e.Mkuyu was recognised for its platform, which is based on elearning farming courses for those looking for professions in agriculture and then pairing students with farmers. The team won an acceptance into Ampion’s Fellowship Program, which includes six months of online courses and several days in Berlin, Germany.
Second and third places were awarded to Agri2go, which is described as eBay for cattle, and SheFarms — a platform empowering women farmers.
Special recognition was given to skEyeFarms, Bullprotector (formally Bullsurance) and inVenture.
The 10 teams pitched in front of a panel of judges, which included Dillon Mann, head of communication at Web Foundation; Sandheep Ramluckan of Startup 90; and Frank McCosker; general manager affordable access at Microsoft, among others.
Each team was given two minutes and 30 seconds to pitch, followed by an additional two minutes of questioning from the judges. Teams were primarily asked about how the businesses work, finances, and other questions pertaining to their specific business models.
Several groups received additional business connections from some judges and audience members, which some audience members agreed may be more beneficial than the grand prize at this stage.
Mann gave a small presentation on the creation of the internet, innovation, and privacy before the pitches started. He rounded off, paraphrasing Edward Snowden: “Saying I don’t care about privacy because I have nothing to hide, that’s like saying you don’t believe in free speech because you have nothing interesting to say.”

Dental Implants in Sydney
Dental implants are beneficial for patients struggling with missing teeth. As we age, our teeth often become weaker and prone to decay. Often, the solution is to use dental implants. The procedure involves frames that are fixed within the jawbone and used as an anchor to support dental caps, crowns, and bridges. At Dental Suite, we offer dental implants in Sydney as a natural and aesthetically pleasing solution for replacing missing teeth.
Types of Dental Implants
Single Tooth Dental Implant
This treatment is helpful for patients who are only missing a single tooth. A bridge is used to replace the affected area and the nearby teeth are shaped to ensure the perfect fit for the implant.
Multiple Dental Implants
If you have lost many teeth, multiple teeth implants are required. In addition, you must ensure you have strong and healthy gums for this procedure as it involves re-structuring your set of teeth.
Full Mouth Dental Implants
Full mouth dental implants are beneficial for those who have no teeth. To complete this process, a fixed bridge is placed into the jaw and artificial teeth are attached to each implant.
Dental Implant Treatment
At Dental Suite, our dental implant treatment will take 3-6 months to be fully completed. This requires a three-step process that includes:
- If you have a damaged tooth, it will be removed before the start of the procedure. Once completed, the implant is placed into the jaw. A screw will also be inserted to help the implant completely fuse with the jawbone. Over time, the gum will grow over the implant.
- When returning to the Dental Suite clinic, we will uncover your implant and attach a ‘post.’ The implant and post will be the foundational base for your new tooth.
- The final step involves our dentists creating a crown that matches your natural teeth. This will incorporate factors such as size, shape, and colour. Once completed, the crown is attached to the implant post, giving you a stunning new smile.
Dental Implants – Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are considered a long-term investment as they can last 25 years or longer. However, the lifecycle of your implants depends on the level of care and maintenance you practice. Hence, when the procedure is completed by a team of professionals, such as the dentists at Dental Suite, they will not need replacing until they have severely aged.
How much do most dental implants cost?
Generally, a single tooth dental implant will cost between $1,500-$6,500. However, the final price will depend on factors including your oral health history, additional dental complications, the severity of your care, and more. Talk to our dental implant specialist in Sydney today for more pricing information.
Are dental implants painful?
The dental implant procedure is not painful as it is performed under general or local anaesthetic. Hence, you won’t feel anything while your mouth is completely numb. However, you may experience mild pain after the procedure once the numbness wears off. This will get better with time and should only last for a few days.
Is it worth getting teeth implants?
If you need to replace a missing tooth, investing in dental implants is worthwhile. They provide a strong foundation for dental prostheses such as crowns and caps and ensure your smile looks as natural as possible. To rectify your set of teeth and rebuild your confidence it is worth considering dental implants in Sydney from Dental Suite.

To clean up tax havens, Panama must go beyond Swiss "cheese"
by Bill Holland --- Global Trade Watch
Tax havens such as Panama came under intense scrutiny at the G-20 summit last week as the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) issued a new tax-haven list, including Panama among 30 target countries that agreed to adopt international tax norms years ago but failed to do so.1 Focus on Panama's tax-haven and money-laundering problems intensified in March when US Trade Representative Ron Kirk suggested at his confirmation hearing that the administration might consider bringing to Congress a controversial Bush-negotiated free trade agreement (FTA) with Panama.
The G-20 London Summit Communiqué committed "to take action against non-cooperative jurisdictions, including tax havens. We stand ready to deploy sanctions to protect our public finances and financial systems. The era of banking secrecy is over. We note that the OECD has today published a list..."
Unfortunately, it would be predictable for Panamanian officials to attempt to sidestep the issue by imitating the recent announcements by the tax-haven nations of Andorra, Liechtenstein and Switzerland (ALS) that they will address certain tax and banking transparency concerns. Why would Panama, a country whose comparative advantage is providing a haven for foreign firms to avoid taxes, consider such an announcement? Because the plans that the other three secrecy jurisdictions rolled out are far from adequate, full of loopholes, and do not represent a meaningful way forward for them --- or for Panama (more on that below). Thus, Panama could try to quell the growing controversy without making serious changes to its excessive banking secrecy and policies that waive taxes for foreign firms.
And controversy about Panama's tax-haven practices was already heating up before the G-20 thanks to a recent New York Times story describing the attempts by bailed out insurance firm AIG to obtain repayment of $306 million in US taxes related to activities of an AIG-affiliated Panamanian corporation, Starr International Company Inc (SICO).2 AIG's US court filings include demands to retroactively deduct from its taxable US income a stream of cash payments and shares of AIG stock paid as compensation to its employees by the Panama-registered corporation acting on its behalf. The chairman of the Panamanian firm in question, SICO, is Maurice "Hank" Greenberg, the former head of AIG. SICO is AIG's largest private shareholder and an erstwhile provider of reinsurance and other services to AIG, and operated a compensation pool for AIG's top staff, according to press reports.
So, it would be expected that Panama would seek a way to get the spotlight off of its tax-haven problem. And agreeing to what Andorra, Liechtenstein and Switzerland just announced would be a painless --- and meaningless --- way to do so.
Consider what the ALS countries did: They did not commit to automatic exchange of tax information --- which is the practice necessary to combat tax evasion because it ensures all transactions are transparent. Rather, they only agreed to consider exchanging tax information when US authorities already have substantial evidence that a specific individual likely evaded taxes, and to have bilateral treaties reflect this. These non-reforms rule out the ability for officials to monitor transactions --- which the tax haven countries derogatorily termed "fishing expeditions" --- so as to be able to spot tax-evasion problems in the first place. Moreover, the patchwork of existing bilateral treaties on these matters are written like swiss cheese, allowing tax-haven authorities to refuse to share information for a wide-range of self-determined reasons. The Swiss already refuse to share the information on tens of thousands of US-owned individual accounts including with respect to the ongoing UBS scandal.
Second, the ALS countries did not agree to require that the beneficial ownership of bank accounts, foundations, and other entities be disclosed in accessible, public records. That is to say that the infamous anonymous "numbered accounts" will still be on offer. The only difference is that the ALS governments can, at their discretion, choose to share ownership information. Given that watchdogs have identified Panama's unwillingness to disclose the beneficial ownership of foundations, corporations, shipping vessels, and banking accounts as a major incentive to illicit money laundering and tax evasion,3 the new ALS policies are not adequate, either for the European nations, or for Panama.
Third, the ALS countries have agreed to take steps to be removed from the OECD and G-7's worst tax-haven blacklists. But since these lists don't carry sanctions for lack of follow through, major tax-haven and money-laundering nations like Panama agree to certain unenforceable principles to stay off of these "worst actor" lists. Panama made such agreements with the OECD in 2002, but this week's OECD report noted that Panama had failed to follow through in actually adopting the internationally agreed tax standard. Indeed, days before the G-20 summit, an OECD official singled out Panama for making no progress on its "commitments."4 This highlights why such international lists and agreements, while important, are only a first step. In the words of Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich.), the lead Senate sponsor of the Stop Tax Havens Abuse Act, "You can't rely on the tax treaty to get at names of people that cheated Uncle Sam."5
In short, if Panama unsurprisingly announces it will follow Andorra, Liechtenstein and Switzerland in the same so-called "reforms," its serious tax-haven, banking-secrecy and money-laundering problems will not be resolved. Indeed, many priority reforms are not even being discussed. In addition to automatic exchange of tax information and disclosure of beneficial ownership, the Task Force on Financial Integrity and Economic Development (which includes several dozen countries --- but not Panama --- and the top tax transparency NGOs) calls for accurate intra-corporate and international trade pricing, country-by-country reporting of income, and harmonization of predicate offenses for money laundering charges. The last three areas are not even contemplated in the recent ALS announcements, while the first two areas are left to the discretion of tax-haven authorities.
In early March, 350 US organizations representing tens of millions of Americans called on Panama to do what the ALS countries have not: "eliminate excessive banking secrecy practices, re-regulate the financial sector, and force banks and multinational subsidiaries to pay their fair share of taxes." (This demand was contained in a March 18 letter to USTR Kirk, link below.)
Under the most ambitious version of the ALS plan, Panama and other tax havens would sustain the awful status quo --- a world full of countries that only cooperate with the US authorities under the most restrictive of situations, tons of dirty money remaining in the financial system, and a continuing race to the bottom in taxation. And when it comes to Panama, more than tax evasion is at stake. Year in and year out, Panama is on the State Department's International Narcotics Control Report's list of countries of primary concern.6 The 2009 reports says:
By virtue of its geographic position and well-developed maritime and transportation infrastructure, Panama is a major logistics control and trans-shipment country for illegal drugs to the United States and Europe. Major Colombian and Mexican drug cartels as well as Colombian illegal armed groups use Panama for drug trafficking and money laundering purposes....
The majority of money laundering activity in Panama is narcotics-related or the result of transshipment or smuggled, pirated, and counterfeit goods through Panama's major free trade zone, the Colon Free zone (CFZ). The funds generated from illegal activity are susceptible to being laundered through a wide variety of methods, including the Panamanian banking system, Panamanian casinos, bulk cash shipments, pre-paid telephone cards, debit cards, insurance companies, real estate projects and agents, and merchandise... Panama is an offshore financial center that includes offshore banks and various forms of shell companies that have been used by a wide range of criminal groups globally for money laundering.7
The US Department of Justice's National Drug Threat Assessment 2009 paints a similarly grim picture of Mexican and Colombian narcotrafficking funds moving virtually unchecked through Panama.8
No new trade agreement with Panama should even be contemplated unless and until the country makes far-reaching commitments on transparency, regulation and taxation. So, a word of advice to Panama: don't try to sell US policymakers and the public any "Swiss cheese" tax-haven "reform" announcements.

Earlier in the day, the Federal Reserve announced it will keep interest rates near zero for years until the US economy recovers from the effects of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell gave a press briefing on Wednesday concerning the latest Fed statement on interest rates and the economic forecast.
According to Powell, the Fed expects to “maintain an accommodative stance of monetary policy” until the economy recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly when inflation rests above 2 percent “for some time” and there is maximum employment.
“With regard to interest rates, we now indicate that we expect it will be appropriate to maintain the current zero to 0.25% target range for the federal funds rates until labor market conditions have reached levels consistent with the committee’s assessments of maximum employment and inflation has risen to 2 percent and is on track to moderately exceed 2 percent for some time”, Powell said.

Powell said that workers and employees in many spheres will likely to continue to struggle through the pandemic, adding that they anticipate more fiscal aid, and “the details of that are for Congress, not for the Fed”.
“…I would just say there are roughly 11 million people still out of work due to the pandemic and good part of those people were working in industries that are likely to struggle. Those people may need additional support as they try to find their way through what will be a difficult time for them”, Powell told reporters.
He added that “the overwhelming majority” of private forecasters expect additional fiscal stimulus.

Utah lawmakers ignore governor’s veto and pass bill to protect women’s sports
The Republican-majority Utah legislature voted to overturn Governor Spencer Cox’s veto of a bill that would ban biological men from competing against women and girls in school sports.
The House voted 56-18 and the Senate voted 21-8 to overturn the veto.

Democrats in the House and Senate were joined by two Republican lawmakers who opposed the bill.
The bill, HB11, was originally intended to create a commission to assess whether a transgender athlete could participate in a school sport – a compromise that avoids direct bans. But at the end of the legislature session earlier this month, the legislature passed a last-minute amendment to the bill that barred transgender girls from participating in school sports, ”the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
The bill was sponsored by state representative Kera Berkland, who defended the bill amid heated debate, noting that transgender students could still participate in co-ed sports.
“I often ask myself why I was in such a hurry. Why this process? Well, it’s easy. For almost two years now, we have been trying to come up with other options, “said Barclays at a rally before the vote.” We could not reach a compromise. You can’t compromise with freedom. “
Cox said he was vetoing the bill because he wanted to protect the “integrity of women’s sports” while allowing transgender students to participate. He claimed that only four transgender students are participating in girls’ sports in the state.
In his statement on the veto, the governor referred to the suicide rate among transgender people and wrote: “I do not understand what they are going through or why they feel like it. But I want them to live.

Republican lawmakers who supported the override rallied in the capital before the vote and faced protests.

“There is a clause in the bill that the commission will be effective if the ban is sued in a Utah court and it is found to be unconstitutional. Senate President Stuart Adams said the bill was expected to be heard, “the Tribune reported. “The legislature also proposed and passed a bill that would compensate high schools for legal costs if they sued, addressing concerns that the ban would result in a costly legal battle at the expense of the Utah High School Activity Association, which represents about 160 high schools. By. “
The report explained, “This bill, HB3001, would set aside a one-time $ 500,000 from the state’s general fund for schools or local educational institutions to cover legal costs.”
The American Civil Liberties Union of Utah has already promised to sue.
The ACLU said in a statement: “We are deeply disappointed by today’s vote in the Utah Legislature and regret that the transgender youth have been discriminated against and excluded from full participation in sports,” the ACLU said in a statement. “Filing a lawsuit to stop HB11 from taking effect is now both necessary and inevitable to ensure a constitutional commitment to equal protection for all Utans.”
The bill will now become law on July 1.

NEW DELHI: Japan, Singapore and South Korea have the most powerful passports in the world, according to the latest rankings released by Henley Passport Index.
A Japanese passport provides hassle-free entry to 193 countries and remains the most powerful for the fifth year in a row. Singapore and South Korea passports, which are at number 2 and 3 slots respectively, provide access to 192 countries.
The Indian passport, which is ranked at 87, provides easy access to 57 countries. "Indian passport holders now have roughly the same travel freedom as they did pre-pandemic, with unrestricted access to 57 destinations around the world (as opposed to just 23 destinations in 2020).
The Henley Passport Index ranks 199 passports according to the number of destinations their holders can access without a prior visa.
The lifting of ban on international travel has helped passports regain strengths. To contain the spread of covid-19, India had suspended international flights after the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic in March, 2020. The ban was finally lifted after a period of two years in March 2022.
Russia is ranked 50th, giving easy access to 119 nations. China is placed 69th with access to 80 countries.
Afghanistan’s passport is the least useful, getting the holder into only 27 countries.
However passport holders with the greatest global access are currently the most restricted and reluctant to enjoy their travel freedom, showed the latest results from the Henley Passport Index, which is based on exclusive and official data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Despite the unmatched and unprecedented worldwide access afforded to the citizens of the three Asian nations ( Japan, Singapore and South Korea) over the index’s 17-year history, international passenger demand in the Asia-Pacific region has only reached 17% of pre-Covid levels, according to IATA’s latest statistics, having hovered below 10% for most of the past two years.
This figure is far behind the global trend where markets in Europe and North America have recovered to around 60% of pre-crisis travel mobility levels.
EU member states dominate the rest of the top ten spots on the latest ranking, with Germany and Spain in joint-3rd place, with access to 190 destinations visa-free. Finland, Italy, and Luxembourg follow closely behind in joint-4th place with 189 destinations, and Denmark, Netherlands, and Sweden share 5th place with their passport holders able to travel to 188 destinations worldwide without a visa. Both the UK and US have dropped down a rank, to 6th and 7th place, respectively.
By comparing the current level of travel freedom with the most severe Covid-related restrictions imposed over the past few years, the results show that UK and US passport holders now have unrestricted access to 158 destinations around the world (as opposed to just 74 and 56 destinations, respectively, at the height of the pandemic in 2020), while Japanese passport holders enjoy unrestricted access to 161 destinations (as opposed to only 76 in 2020).UAE is the pandemic winner
Throughout the turmoil of the past two years, one thing has remained constant: the growing strength of the UAE passport, which now sits at 15th place on the ranking, with a visa-free or visa-on-arrival score of 176. Over the past decade, the country has become the biggest climber on the index — in 2012, it sat at 64th place on the rankings, with a score of just 106. As the latest Henley Private Wealth Migration Dashboard demonstrates, the UAE has also become the focus of intense interest among affluent investors and is expected to see the highest net influx of HNWIs globally in 2022, with a forecast net increase of 4,000 — a dramatic increase of 208% versus 2019’s net inflow of 1,300 and one of its largest on record.
“Throughout the chaos of the pandemic, the benefits of a second or even third passport were self-evident for investors seeking security and peace of mind. Governments have also acknowledged the merits that investment migration offers citizens of host countries if foreign direct investment funds are adequately allocated to much-needed social and economic development initiatives. We have seen an increase of 55% in enquiries compared to the previous quarter, which was itself record-breaking. The top four nationalities currently driving demand are Russians, Indians, Americans, and Britons, and for the first time ever, Ukrainians are in the top 10 globally," said Dr Juerg Steffen, CEO of Henley & Partners.The worst passports to hold in July 2022
Several countries around the world have visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 40 or fewer countries. These include:
105. North Korea (40 destinations)
106. Nepal, Palestinian territory (38 destinations)
107. Somalia (35 destinations)
108. Yemen (34 destinations)
109. Pakistan (32 destinations)
110. Syria (30 destinations)
111. Iraq (29 destinations)
112. Afghanistan (27 destinations)

Also Hanna looks great, especially in the sailor hat, and I loved watching her speak, but most of the other people in the doc come across as just dippy and simple and kind of embarrassingly juvenile. And like I know the movement was for teenagers, but the people interviewed are mostly in their 40s at this point, or older (hi Joan Jett) so that’s not an excuse.
The only thing more devastating than Kathleen Hanna’s debilitating late-stage Lyme disease is the fact that Tavi Gevinson was in this documentary.
You mean the generation that paid three times as much for college to enter a job market with triple the unemployment isn’t interested in purchasing the assets of the generation who just blew an enormous housing bubble and kept it from popping through quantitative easing and out-and-out federal support? Curious.
When comments are better than the article, Atlantic edition (“The Cheapest Generation: Why Millennials aren’t buying cars or houses, and what that means for the economy”)
The Atlantic also recently pondered why millennials aren’t having babies. Um… because kids are fucking expensive? Just a thought.

6.2.5 Clinical guides to prognosis
Judgement of the significance of MR on clinical grounds alone can be difficult. The intensity of a murmur is not an accurate guide to the severity of MR. However, in general, loud murmurs are more often associated with significant disease than quiet murmurs. It can be helpful to note the radiation of the murmur; if the regurgitation is moderate or severe, the murmur is likely to radiate widely. In cases in which a thrill is palpated, significant regurgitation of blood is likely to be present. The position of the apex beat and the area over which heart sounds are heard may be more caudal than usual in cases with severe MR and cardiomegaly. Percussion may also reveal an enlarged cardiac silhouette in these cases. Pulse quality is seldom affected in animals with MR, except in those cases with CHF. The pulse rate is a more useful guide to the response of the heart in compensation for the haemodynamic effects of MR. In order to maintain cardiac output in the face of a significant regurgitant fraction, heart rate will be increased. It is very difficult to judge the appropriate heart rate for horses after exercise, particularly in animals other than racehorses. However, measurement of resting heart rate is very useful, as a persistently raised heart rate often accompanies severe MR. In the author's opinion, any heart rate above 45 bpm, when the animal is genuinely at rest, requires investigation to rule out non-cardiac causes. However, MR can be sigin horses with a resting heart rate below this level.
Arrhythmias may be found in animals with MR and should be characterised, using electrocardiography if necessary. Physiological arrhythmias (see section 7.7) are less likely to be found in animals with significant valvular disease than in normal horses because vagal tone is usually less marked. The presence of abnormal rhythms, particularly atrial and ventricular premature beats and atrial fibrillation, in animals with MR, is significant. These findings suggest that the valvular disease has caused, or is associated with, myocardial dysfunction or chamber dilation. Although the effects of exercise on the intensity of cardiac murmurs is an overvalued part of the clinical examination (see section 3.8.2), in some cases where valvular disease is present, arrhythmias may only be present during exercise. Auscultation after exercise and, ideally, radiotelemetry during exercise is helpful in order that these abnormalities are detected.
Sequential examinations can help to give a more accurate prognosis in horses with MR than a single examination because the rate of progression of the concan be monitored. It is seldom possible to know the rate at which MV disease will progress, but it must be assumed that the degenerative change will continue, resulting in an increased regurgitant fraction over a period of months or years. Sudden deterioration of the condition, which may precipitate more severe clinical signs, may be associated with rupture of chordae tendineae as a result of the degenerative change, the development of an arrhythmia such as atrial fibrillation, or non-cardiac disease which results in a further load on the heart.
Many horses can still perform useful work with mild or moderate MR; howfew horses will do well in athletic competition with moderate MR. If poor athletic performance develops, it may be appropriate to reduce the level of activity. The principle danger is that the animal will tire easily and then become more likely to fall. Owners should be made aware of this possibility and it may affect the suitability of the horse for different riders. Collapse is very uncommon except in animals which are showing signs of cardiovascular compromise (e.g. tachycardia, jugular distension) at rest. These individuals should not be ridden. As a rule, problems are most likely to be encountered when athletic activity is increased beyond the level at which it has been established that the horse can manage satisfactorily. The most difficult situation is in young animals with mild MR and little performance history. In some cases, after echocardiographic appraisal and a discussion of the signs of exercise intolerance with the owners, it may be appropriate to continue to increase the level of work in order to establish what sort of performance the horse is capable of providing. The progression of MR should be monitored regularly. A follow-up examination approximately three months after the problem is first identified, and then at six-month intervals, is justified in moderate cases of MR.

According to a report on ESPN.com's Outside The Lines, Ryan Braun's name appears on a second document from Anthony Bosch's banned Biogenesis clinic in Florida. The new document (see photo) shows Braun's name next to a dollar figure ($1,500). ESPN's sources—former employees of the "wellness" clinic—indicate that the list is of players who "received performance-enhancing drugs from Bosch and owed him money". One source went so far as to say that there is "no other reason to be on that paper." Also on this second list are Alex Rodriguez, Melky Cabrera, and Francisco Cervelli. Only Cabrera's name appears not to have a dollar amount associated with it. Braun responded to reporters on Friday, "I understand why a lot of you guys are probably here, but I made a statement last week. I stand behind that statement. I'm not going to address that issue any further. As I stated, I'm happy to cooperate fully with any investigation into this matter."

In a contentious verdict reached on Thursday, Washington State's Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional to sentence minors to life imprisonment without parole.
With the ruling, Washington joined 20 other states and the District of Columbia that consider juvenile life without parole unconstitutional—or, in the words of Washington's court, "cruel punishment."
The decision involved a 33-year-old currently serving life in prison for killing his family when he was 16. The majority opinion determined that life imprisonment does not serve as a form of retribution or deterrence when applied to offenders under the age of 18, even for the highest degree of murder.
"We're thrilled ... that Washington has joined the ever-growing number of states that have abandoned the barbaric practice of sentencing our children to die in prison," says Jody Kent Lavy, executive director of the Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth. "This national trend reflects an emerging consensus that our children who commit serious crimes should be held accountable in more age-appropriate ways that focus on rehabilitation and reintegration into society."
The United States is the only country in the world that allows its courts to sentence youth to die in prison. Various international laws condemn sentencing minors to life without the possibility of parole. Up until the U.S. Supreme Court heard Roper v. Simmons in 2004, the U.S. was also one of the only countries in the world that sentenced youth to the death penalty; in 1999, Oklahoma executed Sean Richard Sellers, who had been 16 years old when convicted of his crimes.
Washington's five-to-four ruling comes exactly a week after the court's unanimous decision to end the death penalty in the state.
