Red-hot Rockets earn sweep
The red-hot Forrest Rockets' (6-4-3-0) winning streak increased to four games over the weekend, beginning with a 56-44 win at home Friday night versus District 9A foe Huntland (2-3, 1-1) and ending with a 53-27 thrashing at intra-county rival Cornersville (2-7, 0-1) on Saturday night.
The Hornets managed to stay close to the Rockets for about five minutes in Chapel Hill, tying the game at 5-5 before Forrest scored the final nine points of the quarter to open up a 14-5 margin after the first eight minutes.
A Jacob Daughrity steal and score sparked the Rockets' rally as Zach Horvath scored three in the run and Dakota Zimmerman converted a three-point play at period's end.
Forrest head coach Wes Hobbs said after the game, "It was nice to get out to a little bit of a lead tonight to have some leeway to do some different things. They made a run at us in the second half, but we knew they would and we had to weather the storm a little bit, but we kept our composure."
From there, it was all Rockets the remainder of the contest as they opened up a 32-15 halftime lead and increased it to twenty-points at 45-25 by the end of the third before cruising home with the twelve-point win.
"The atmosphere was great tonight," said Hobbs. "The student section was out in full effect and it was awesome seeing people I know from the community out here cheering us on a hundred percent. It was a lot of fun."
Mark Pope led the Rocket scoring attack versus Huntland with 18 points, Horvath was next with a dozen, Zach Ray finished with 7, Tyler Rumley and Marshall Hunter scored five points apiece, Daughrity ended up with 4 points, Zimmerman 3, and Lucas Pruitt saw his first action of the season after returning from injury to score 2 points.
"We can't let up at all," said Hobbs. "This is going to be a tough district and we are going to have to come to play every night."
On Saturday in Cornersville, the Rockets took control of the game early versus the Bulldogs, leading 26-6 after the first half, thanks to a defensive goose egg in the second quarter.
The Rockets went long ball on the Dawgs, drilling ten treys in the ballgame.
Forrest extended the lead to 42-12 with a 16-6 third quarter before winning by twenty-six.
Ten players notched points in the scoring column for the Rockets with Pope leading the way once again with 11 points (2 treys).
Chase Hensley had the hot hand from three-land for Forrest with a trio of treys for nine points, Horvath scored a half dozen, Hunter had six points on two three-pointers, and Daughrity also scored six points (1 trey).
Lucas Pruitt netted four points in the post, Ray had three, Ty Hoeft and Kennedy Mathis drained one trey apiece, and Rumley rounded out the scoring with 2 points.
Danny Gordon led Cornersville with 11 points (1 trey), Tate Lowery scored seven, Zach Smith had four, Stone Riner made one three-pointer, and Jamie Crowell scored a deuce.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health on Monday confirmed the first death associated with the flu for the 2019-2020 season, a middle-aged person with underlying health conditions.
“We extend our condolences to the family for their loss,” said Muntu Davis, MD, MPH, Los Angeles County Health Officer.
“This is a sad reminder that the flu can be a serious illness, especially for the elderly, young children and people with weakened immune systems,” Davis said. “I would like to remind everyone that even if you’re healthy, you can still get seriously sick from the flu and spread the illness to others. Immunization is the best method to protect yourself and reduce the likelihood of spreading the flu to others in your community.”
Every year, thousands of people nationwide are hospitalized or die from flu-related illness. The 2018-19 season had 125 reported flu deaths in Los Angeles County. Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend flu immunization for everyone greater than 6 months old.
Some people are at higher risk for serious illness or death from the flu, including children younger than 5 years, adults 65 years and older, pregnant women, people with medical conditions such as asthma, chronic lung or heart disease, diabetes or who are overweight. If you are at higher risk for complications from the flu, you should seek medical care as soon as you begin to feel ill, whether you have been immunized or not. Anti-viral medication can shorten the duration of the flu and can reduce the risk of complications or death. These medications work best when taken within 48 hours of becoming sick but can still be beneficial if used later in the course of illness.
Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches and fatigue. Pneumonia is the most common complication of the flu.
In addition to getting immunized, people can stay healthy by practicing good hygiene. This includes washing your hands, covering your coughs and sneezes, not touching your eyes, nose, or mouth, and staying home if you’re sick.
You can get the immunization from your regular health care provider or local pharmacy. Immunization is also provided at no-cost or low-cost at various locations throughout the county.
For more information, visit the Public Health website. Residents may also call the LA County Information Line at 2-1-1.

DETROIT — General Motors strengthened its pretax profit estimate for 2018 and predicted even stronger performance for this year as it executives made a presentation to investors on Friday.
Shares jumped nearly 9 per cent in midday trading.

CEO Mary Barra also says the company doesn’t foresee any further job cuts through 2020. Last year GM announced plans to close five North American factories and lay off 14,000 salaried and blue-collar workers.
The company predicts 2018 pretax, per-share profits will be higher than the $5.80 to $6.20 range it forecast in the third quarter. For 2019, it expects that to increase to $6.50 to $7.
The rosy profit forecast comes despite declining sales for the company in the U.S. and slowing sales in China. GM also plans to exit several car lines in the U.S. in the coming year.
The outlook exceeded Wall Street’s expectations for both years. Analysts polled by FactSet expect pretax earnings of $6.24 for 2018 and they predict a decline for this year, to $5.92.

The leader of a controversial South Korean church who promoted chastity to his 130,000 followers has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after being found guilty of multiple counts of sexual assault and harassment.
Lee Jae-rock, the leader of the Manmin Central Church, who court documents show “deified himself” in sermons, was indicted for 42 counts of sexual harassment and sexual assault against eight victims.
Lee, 75, had “maliciously taken advantage of the victims who had absolute faith in his religious authority, and sexually harassed or assaulted the victims who were in their 20s repeatedly for an extended period and even sexually assaulting multiple victims at the same time,” according to a press release from the Seoul Central District Court.
Lee’s victims had been members of his church since birth or childhood, the document said.
While they were of the age of consent at the time of their sexual relations with Lee, the court found that his followers were unable to resist his advances “due to their absolute faith in the infallibility of the accused.”
“The victims were in the psychological status where they absolutely could not resist or at least the resistance was substantially difficult,” the release said.
“Judging from the circumstances, though the accused did not call himself the ‘holy spirit’ or ‘god’ in an official place, in the smaller gathering or personal education sessions, he had been teaching the followers directly, and indirectly, that he is the holy spirit, or God.”
Five of the victims had left the church but, in the wake of the #MeToo movement, were encouraged by a fellow victim to report him.
The court found that it was “sufficiently reasoned” that Lee’s influence over the victims as their pastor, having “consistently listened to his sermons and attended the church diligently,” would have believed that he “served God’s will.”
Lee denied all charges, and argued that the victims may have been motivated “by money” to provide false testimony. He has worked as a missionary both in South Korea and internationally.
In addition to the prison sentence, Lee was ordered to undergo 80 hours of sexual violence therapy program, and is banned from working with children for 10 years.

From left i on the news, http://lefti.blogspot.com
Last night's Daily Show featured Jon Stewart doing his usual fawning over the levers of power, in this case Colin Powell (video here at Crooks and Liars).
His questions weren't total softballs, but he wasn't about to challenge any of the nonsense spewing from Powell's mouth either. Yet another big lie appeared on this show -- Powell's assertion that "all the intelligence services of the world" said that Iraq had WMD. As I wrote here, they may have thought it was possible or even likely that Iraq had WMD, but that wasn't the case for invasion made to the world and to the American people by George Bush and his gang, and it certainly wasn't the claim made by Powell himself at the U.N. in February, 2003, where he made statements like these:
"We know that Iraq has at least seven of these mobile, biological agent factories.
"There can be no doubt that Saddam Hussein has biological weapons and the capability to rapidly produce more, many more. And he has the ability to dispense these lethal poisons and diseases in ways that can cause massive death and destruction.
"Saddam Hussein has chemical weapons."
Powell, of course, admitted that we now know there weren't any WMD's, but suggested that the other charges (by which he meant WMD programs or perhaps WMD "program related activities") stood. Nonsense. The evidence is quite clear that not only were there no WMD's in Iraq in March, 2003 (there are now, thanks to the Americans who brought them there and used them), but there were no ongoing WMD programs either.
By the way, lest anyone think this is simply hindsight, I'll link here to a post I wrote in which I provided links to a series of analyses of Powell's speech at the time he gave it, including a letter I wrote to a newspaper, which indicates quite clearly that the kind of lies and distortions being promulgated by Powell were quite obvious at the time and not just now, with hindsight.
My favorite part of the interview was when Powell asserted that we had good intelligence in the middle 90's (we did? the intelligence that claimed there were WMD?), but that we lost our good sources in 1998, after the four days of bombing known as Desert Fox. He suggested that bombing was done by Clinton based on "good intelligence", but failed to note that we now know that it had been years since Iraq had any WMD or active WMD programs, and that the Desert Fox bombing was as completely bogus (in terms of its pretext) as the 2003 invasion. He then talked about how it was "very difficult to follow up that bombing [with good intelligence work] because the inspectors had to come out". "Had to come out"? Sure they did, they were told to come out by the U.S. lest they be killed by the bombing and, surprise of all surprises, after having cooperated with the disarmament program and the inspectors and being bombed anyway, and having found out that that "good intellegence" was being supplied by the inspectors themselves, Iraq was strangely unwilling to let them back in the country.
Incidentally, repeating the bizarre defense offered this week by both Bush and Blair, Powell tried to discredit the Downing Street Memo not by asserting that it was false (i.e., that facts were not being fixed around the policy), but that it appeared before he went to the U.N. So what? He also bragged about his role in convincing Bush to take the case to the U.N., but failed to note that the entire effort was a P.R., exercise and that in the end (and, in fact, before the start), the U.S. went to war anyway, regardless of any action or inaction on the part of the U.N.
Jon Stewart should do a little less fawning and a little more homework.

The location of Leeds's new Kitty Cafe has been revealed after plans for its signage were submitted to the council.
Kate Charles-Richards – who runs the original Kitty Cafe in Nottingham – secured the city centre site back in April but has kept the exact location a secret to date.
She had hoped to open last month but renovations to the building by the landlords have delayed work on the interiors.
Now the YEP can reveal that the cafe will be based in the old Yorkshire Bank site in Kirkgate, next door to Debenhams.
Plans submitted to the council seek permission to put up new signage for the cafe, suggesting the eagerly-awaited opening may not be too far off.


Independence Day is as much as a celebration of heroes as it is of freedom. As the country commemorates its Declaration of Independence, Global Filipino brand Max’s Restaurant boosts its support for Gilas Pilipinas who are hailed as the country’s modern-day heroes.
After entering the fray in the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup, the Philippine National Basketball Team (Gilas Pilipinas) sets their hearts to bringing honor to the country, hoping to sail through the championship games against the best international basketball teams in Spain this August. This is the first time in 36 years that Filipino athletes will be given a shot at this prestigious international stage for basketball.
â€œNothing of this magnitude can be achieved without a team effort. And I think in the end, thatâ€™s the story of Gilas. Hereâ€™s an entire nation coming together for Philippine basketballâ€™s finest hour. Thatâ€™s what Laban Pilipinas â€“ puso â€“ is all about,â€ said Gilas Head Coach Chot Reyes.
As Gilas gears up for the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup in August, the national team gains a staunch ally through Maxâ€™s, the leading Filipino food restaurant in the Philippines. Maxâ€™s is known for its heart-warming campaigns, especially those that celebrate world-class Filipino talent. Not just success, but the work put behind to achieve the goal. Every Filipino has celebrated a milestone at Maxâ€™s â€“ be it reunions, graduations, birthdays, or winning contests.
The partnership of Maxâ€™s and Team Gilas is forged from the heart. Both share the goal of mirroring every Filipinoâ€™s dream. Both came from humble beginnings, and rose to success through the patronage of fans. Today, Maxâ€™s and Team Gilas are equally passionate about taking the Filipino legacy to its utmost glory, by proving the talent and caliber of the Filipino spirit on a global scale.
“Gilas’ bid for top spot at the FIBA Basketball World Cup transcends the competitive game of basketball. Our players will be playing with their hearts and all that they have for the country. As we engage everyone to support the Gilas Pilipinas team, we share in their fight and pride to showcase the skill and strong spirit of Filipinos,” shared Mark E. Gamboa, Marketing Director for Max’s Group of Companies.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience awaits one fan who will win two tickets to Madrid, Spain and watch the Gilas Pilipinas team compete live at the FIBA Basketball World Cup.


There are a lot of positive things to take away from Arsenal agreeing a new contract with Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang, it shows Mikel Arteta has done enough to convince stars to stay and the players recognise the club have ambition.
The Times have had a look at the numbers behind his new deal, and it’s believed that the new three year deal could be worth as much as £55m.
The main takeaway here is that his weekly wage will increase to £250k per week, but he could increase it to almost £350k a week depending on loyalty payments and bonuses.
He’s been the talisman for Arsenal in recent years and he’s one of the main reasons they won the FA Cup last season, so it’s clearly a well deserved deal.

There is one thing from that article that makes you wince a little bit, and whoever negotiated Mesut Ozil’s contract really needs to have a word with themselves.
They confirm that Aubameyang will be one of the highest paid players in the league, but Ozil still earns a basic salary of £350k per week so he’s some way behind that.
No wonder Ozil doesn’t want to leave….

Russell Investments revise guide to retirement because of low-return environment
Dwindling returns, especially on the fixed income side, mean the retirement “Rule of $20” no longer applies, according to Russell Investments.
The strategy – which says a secure retirement is possible if you have $20 in savings for every $1 in annual income you require after leaving the work force – has been the rule of thumb for the past decade if you expect to retire at 60.
However, Shailesh Kshatriya, director, Canadian strategies at Russell Investments, said that changing economic conditions and a low-return environment mean potential retirees will have to work an additional five years to get the same payout or risk running out of money.
Russell Investments’ “Rule of $20” helps estimate the amount of retirement income you can expect to drawdown annually, exclusive of other income sources. It takes into account factors such as inflation, market volatility and longevity risk with the following basic assumptions: the net-of-fee portfolio return is utilized as the interest rate proxy; annual payout is indexed to inflation (assumed at 2.5% a year); portfolio is comprised of 35% equities, 65% fixed; and the investor is married and at least 65 years old (up from 60 years in the old rule).
The previous rule assumed returns of 9% (equities) and 6% (fixed income) but this has been revised to 8% and 3.5%.
Kshatriya said: “Your bond allocation is getting downgraded from a return perspective. What that means is you don’t have the same bang for your buck historically, so that’s one big change. The implication for that is that the money won’t necessarily last you as long.
“In our prior rules, because of a slightly better return environment, the time frame in terms of longevity would have been around 30 years. Now we’re at around 25 years.
“The direct implication of the lower-return imperative is the fact that your funds may not last as long so it depends on how you budget.”
Kshatriya stressed that this is a rule of thumb and the range of drawdown dates will depend on the individual. But he said that if an investor hasn’t had a financial check-up for a while, now is a good time to sit down with your advisor and work out what changes you need to make.
Investors may well need to increase the $20 for $1 guideline to $21 or higher in order to have the retirement income they require.
He said: “Also, from a market and economy perspective, we are extended in this cycle and it’s a good time to have these conversations. Tax implications are a big element of this and this is where you need to have a conversation with an investment professional.”

The police claims of control on beef traffickers in Meerut got exposed after quintals of beef was seized from a residential building just half a kilometer from the Lisadi Gate Police Station.
The incident took place on November 4 morning around 7 A.M. An Informant told the police about the cow slaughtering going on in the house of one Shehzad, located in Eidgah Golden Colony. For the last year and a half, an advertisement reading “This building is for sale” was put up outside the house.
At first, police tried to open the doors of the house, but failed to do so. After circling the house for 10 minutes, they were climbing the walls when the traffickers opened fired on them. The accused fired 5-6 rounds at the police and managed to escape by jumping over to another building. One of the policemen got saved by a very small margin. Large amount of cow meat was recovered inside the building.
Circle officer Dinesh Sharma arrived at the crime scene upon reports of firing along with heavy police force. A veterinary doctor was called at the scene by the police who confirmed that the meat recovered was cow beef. Police seized the meat and buried it. They are now looking for the accused who are on the run.
Police has registered a case against Shehzad and his brother Monu (sons of Mohammad Ayyub) and Sarfaraz (s/o Mohammad Saleem), all residents of Eidgah Golden Colony under charges of attack with intent to murder and beef trafficking.

10 Best Wildflowers to Plant in Fall
Planting wildflowers in fall means blossoms gone wild come spring. Here are the best varieties to grow
1 / 10
We’ve all gasped at the sight of fields of lupine, the star of the pea family, stretching as far as the eye can see. To grow lupine in your own yard, it’s best to plant in late fall before winter rains, and then wait for the beautiful show come spring.
2 / 10
The sunny, orange California poppy has rightfully earned its place as the state flower of California. When sown in place in fall, these poppies will come to life in early spring, turning your yard into a golden sea of color.
3 / 10
One of the most unassuming wildflowers, sweet alyssum will surprise you with the huge impact it can make in your yard. It will grow well in most any soil, though it can reach up to 16” tall if especially happy.
4 / 10
Linum perenne lewisii
Flax seeds have been all the rage in the kitchen, and their blue flowers in the field deserve equal attention. Scatter the seeds in any sunny spot, and watch as the flowers dance in the wind. After the flowers drop, harvest the seed pods for bouquets.
5 / 10
Also known as baby snapdragon, Linaria is one of those fiery little wildflowers that lets you know spring is here. It comes in all kinds of jewel tones, and is one of the few wildflowers that also holds up great as a cut flower.
6 / 10
The vibrant, star-shaped flowers of the borage plant have long been said to bring courage to the gardener. More than that, they’re delicious in cocktails and salads. Sow in fall and watch as they reseed for years to come.
7 / 10
Everlasting Sweet Peas
Now commonly thought of as an American wildflower, the sweet pea is actually native to Italy. We’re happy that this flower made it over here to grace our hillsides, and look forward to the bright pink blooms each spring.
8 / 10
This quick-blooming, annual wildflower is often confused with the true forget-me-not (Myosotis sylvatica) but has the exact same effect in the garden. Though an annual, it will self-sow for years to come, and lasts great as a cut flower to boot.
9 / 10
Herbalists, florists, and gardeners alike all count simple white yarrow flowers as one of their favorites. It grows easily from seed and will really take over in the garden if you’re not careful. But is that such a bad thing?
10 / 10
For a true wild meadow look, this is the wildflower for you. Sow coreopsis in fall in any average soil, sun or part shade, and watch as it blooms the following spring for a bright burst of color in the yard.

CFFT Awards Genzyme $14 Million Research Grant
The nonprofit affiliate of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF), Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics, Inc., will expand its research partnership with Genzyme in a collaboration that will be supported by $14 million in additional funding. The funding is expected to be invested in developing novel therapy options for patients who suffer from the most common mutation of cystic fibrosis (CF), F508del.
The funding from CFF Therapeutics will be used specifically in Genzyme’s R&D programs and was granted in order to support studies to identify new compounds able to repair the defective CFTR protein present in CF patients. The research is focused on the F508del mutation since about 90% of the 30,000 people who live with the disease in the U.S. have at least one copy of it.
“The Foundation is focused on supporting the discovery and development of powerful new therapies that attack the underlying cause of this deadly disease,” stated the president and CEO of the CFF, Robert J. Beall, PhD in a press release. “We are pleased to continue CFFT’s agreement with Genzyme and are excited by the possibilities of what our pooled knowledge, expertise and resources can bring.”
The CFF and Genzyme have been working together since 2011, when the two entities established a collaborative research program, which has already resulted in the study of numerous chemical compounds able to address abnormalities in the CFTR protein with the F508del mutation, as well as assist in the relocation of the defective protein for it to move into the cell’s surface.
Together with the new funding, Genzyme will focus on developing selected compounds and accelerating the process in order to eventually initiate new CF clinical trials, while the CFFT will continue its work with several ongoing research programs being conducted in collaboration with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies focused on finding treatment for the basic genetic defect in CF.
The CFFT has also recently established a partnership with the specialty biopharmaceutical company Shire for the development of technology that can maintain and/or restore lung function, as well as protect against respiratory infections, which are two primary health concerns in CF patients. Shire has an extensive pipeline of promising therapeutics that the company believes will generate sales of about $3 billion by the year 2020, and the CFFT agreed to invest up to $15 million in their messenger RNA (mRNA) platform for cystic fibrosis.

“We’re missing something obvious that would help employers and help the economy,” said Barbara Gault, the executive director of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research.
Women make up 55 percent of middle-skill workers, but 83 percent of those in jobs that pay less than $30,000 a year, according to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research. And the median wage for women with a certificate is $27,864, compared to $44,191 for men, the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce reports.
Much of that gap is due to occupational segregation —women clustering in low-paying careers including cosmetology and child care and men in more lucrative professions such as welding and automotive repair.

Hear ye, hear ye. Loosen your corsets—there’s a good costume drama hitting theaters this week: The Young Victoria starring Emily Blunt.
For all those who’ve gotten a bit Elizabethed out in the last few years, this flick features the other big deal royal and focuses on what is perhaps one of the most touching love stories of all time – that of Queen Victoria (Blunt) and Prince Albert (Rupert Friend). Producers even include royalty – well ex-royalty – in Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York and Hollywood royalty Martin Scorsese. Director is Jean-Marc Vallée.
Emily Blunt transforms herself as the sheltered princess with the overbearing mother The Duchess of Kent (Miranda Richardson) whose creep of an “advisor” Conroy (played menacingly by Mark Strong) both bat her around like a pawn on a chessboard. This isn’t a story about history – this is a story about dysfunctional families and character. There is an oddly familiar feel to the scene in which Victoria’s uncle – King William (Jim Broadbent) stands up at dinner and delivers a tipsy, “I never liked you” speech to Victoria’s mother (some of which is actually historically accurate).
King William dies. Victoria ascends the throne of England, banishes ma and creepy Conroy, and here come the suitors (her cousin, Albert is among the throng) and advisors. She naively takes on a sole advisor in the Prime Minister – Lord Melbourne (Paul Bettany) that causes some political shenanigans. All the while keeping in touch with cousin Albert. Despite everyone’s maneuverings Victoria and Albert genuinely fall in love and he becomes her best advisor. Friend gives an impressive performance, subtle, almost in a minor key and it’s nice to finally see Blunt play the lead.
Go see it. If you can’t find anyone to go with you – I’ll see it again.
Blunt was nominated for a Golden Globe for the role this morning!

Beck v. Deem – 1/14/2010
Arizona Court of Appeals Division One Holds That A.R.S. §§ 14-3910 and 14-3972(C) Protect a Third-Party Purchaser of a Beneficial Interest in a Deed of Trust Even When the Original Transferor Wrongly Obtained Title Through a Fraudulent Affidavit for Transfer of Real Property.
When Rodney Olson died in 2003, he left a home to his three children – Sherry, Beck, and Todd. Sherry hoped to refinance the home’s mortgage through Landmarc Capital & Investment Company and executed a deed of trust in Landmarc’s favor. Beck and Todd signed quitclaim deeds disclaiming their interest in the home. In exchange, Sherry agreed to pay Beck $25,000.
To obtain title from the estate, Sherry executed an Affidavit for Transfer of Real Property Title under A.R.S. § 14-3971(E). Among other things, the statute required that such an affidavit involve property not worth more than $50,000 and imposed penalties for false statements. Sherry’s affidavit stated she was the only “living heir” and that the home’s value did not exceed $50,000, although the home had been appraised a month earlier for $244,000. After obtaining title, Sherry refinanced the mortgage with Landmarc for $155,000 and Landmarc later assigned its beneficial interest to Deem.
Meanwhile, Sherry did not pay Beck the agreed $25,000, causing Beck to attempt to recover the home on behalf of Olson’s estate. The trial court ordered Sherry to return the home to the estate, concluding that Sherry’s affidavit was based on false statements and was ineffective to transfer title to Sherry. Beck also brought a claim against Landmarc, Deem, and others, asking the court to invalidate the deed of trust. The trial court granted summary judgment for Beck, finding that the deed of trust was invalid. Deem, Landmarc, and others appealed.
In a unanimous opinion, the Court of Appeals reversed, holding that Deem’s beneficial interest in the deed of trust was valid. First, the Court explained that A.R.S. §§ 14-3910 and 14-3972(C) extend certain protections to purchasers or lenders who acquire interests in property through transfer affidavits – like Sherry’s affidavit – or through “deeds of distribution,” which involve an estate’s appointed “personal representative.” The Court explained that the statutes protect purchasers who rely on improper transfer affidavits, so long as the purchaser is not implicated in any fraud. Second, the Court held that the fact that Deem did not purchase or lend directly with Sherry did not affect Deem’s interest. A narrow reading of A.R.S. § 14-3910 suggests that the statute would only protect an interest of a third-party like Deem only if it were acquired through a “deed of distribution.” The Court reasoned, however, that it did not make sense to afford less protection to interests acquired through transfer affidavits, which are a “simplified means” of transfer not requiring an appointed personal representative. Thus, read together, A.R.S. §§ 14-3972 and 14-3910 afforded Deem the same protections regardless of the form of transfer. Finally, because no evidence suggested that Deem had any involvement in Sherry’s false affidavit, Arizona law protected Deem’s interest.
Judge Irvine authored the opinion; Judges Gemmill and Thompson concurred.
PRACTICE NOTE: Although Appellants prevailed on appeal, the Court declined to grant their request for attorneys’ fees and costs. First, the Court held that A.R.S. § 12-341.01 did not apply because the parties requested statutory relief, not relief “arising out of contract.” Second, A.R.S. § 33-420 did not apply. That statute allows an award of fees against a party who files a “wrongful document” against property, but Sherry was not a party to this suit. Finally, A.R.S. § 33-806(B) did not apply. Although that statute allows fees “to prevent . . . [i]mpairment of the security provided by the trust deed,” the “impairment of the security” means actual damage, waste, destruction, or improper maintenance of the secured property.

Henry David Thoreau Quote
Do we call this the land of the free? What is it to be free from King George and continue the slaves of King Prejudice? What is it to be born free and not to live free? What is the value of any political freedom, but as a means to moral freedom? Is it a freedom to be slaves, or a freedom to be free, of which we boast? We are a nation of politicians, concerned about the outmost defences only of freedom. It is our children's children who may perchance be really free.
Life Without Principle (1863)

TDB is committed to the preservation of its reputation and integrity through compliance with applicable laws, regulations and ethical standards in each of the markets in which it operates.
All employees are expected to adhere to these laws, regulations and ethical standards, and management is responsible for ensuring such compliance. The Board of Directors of TDB has collective responsibility for supporting the management of the compliance risk across TDB and the general management of a business unit has collective responsibility for managing compliance risk within its business unit. Dedicated Compliance Specialists throughout TDB assist management in controlling compliance risk.
TDB has adopted the Compliance policy and procedure to help its businesses effectively manage their compliance risks. The policy and procedure were framed the ISO 37301:2021 (ISO 37301:2021(en), Compliance management systems — Requirements with guidance for use) standard and was approved by the Chairman of the Board. The policies and procedures distinctly define and reflect the roles and responsibilities of the Board of Directors, the Executive, departments, units, staff and compliance professionals in risk management.
The policies and procedures cover the details of the contribution, role, and responsibilities of the Board of Directors, Executive Management, departments, units, staff, and compliance specialists in managing compliance risk.
TDB implemented a Corporate Policy and Procedure on Anti-Money laundering and Counter-Terrorism financing to prevent its businesses from involvement in money-laundering and terrorist financing.
The policy and the procedure follow the national Law on Combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing and Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction and Combating Terrorism, the Mongolbank’s Procedures to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing and regulations, Financial Action Task Force (FATF)’s recommendations and US and Eu standards. Click here
USA Patriot Act
The bank follows the USA PATRIOT ACT. The Act is devoted to deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and across the globe to enhance related law enforcement investigatory tools and other purposes. Click here
The Wolfsberg Group is an association of thirteen global banks that aims to develop frameworks and guidance for managing financial crime risks, particularly concerning Know Your Customer, Anti-Money Laundering, and Counter-Terrorist Financing policies.

Banks and financial institutions comply with the FATCA. This law instructs banks and financial institutions to provide information on foreign accounts of US citizens and legal entities to the Federal Tax Administration, and the TDB is a reporting Foreign Financial Institution per the act and operates accordingly. Click here
The Bank is keen on running safe, secure, and compliant financial operations that have always been the bank's top priority The Bank believes that by performing effective customer due diligence and transaction monitoring, we are preventing and decreasing the risk of the financial system being misused in criminal activities, including money laundering and terrorist financing. Furthermore, we consider this our best contribution to reducing and preventing the customers and society from the possibility of money laundering and terrorist financing risks.
The movement of illicit proceeds threatens the stability of the country's financial market and can affect the accuracy of the financial reporting, all aspects of the country's reputation, and its ability to stand international.
As money laundering and terrorist financing are global issues, legalizing the actions is not sufficient to combat the above criminals. It is necessary to take measures to prevent the financial system from being exposed to money laundering and terrorist financing activities.
Stopping Financial crimes is not something one bank can do alone. It’s a challenge for our entire industry. That’s why we work with other banks, law enforcement and public and private parties to identify and combat threats. Effectiveness is improved by shared intelligence, collaboration and third-party partnerships.
What kind of information you need to provide to Bank?
Know your customer (KYC) is the first step towards a safe and compliant bank. It ensures we only do business with people and companies we have verified as being trustworthy.
This includes transaction monitoring and, besides carrying out sanction screening, customer due diligence checks, updating customer files, and collecting supporting documents from the customer related to their transaction and activity.
On the one hand, the Bank must quickly transfer the Customer's foreign transactions, deliver its services to customers following international standards, and on the other hand, cooperate with foreign banking and financial institutions, comply with the laws of the country of the foreign Bank's location, combat domestic money laundering and financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) and the Customer. They are obliged to follow the policy of recognition.
International banks and their regulatory bodies have strict controls and high demands. Banking activities significantly impact not only banks and customers but also foreign relations, the economy, international trade, cooperation, and investment. Therefore, we hope the customer will understand and cooperate that the bank sets specific requirements for customers and customer transactions to fulfil its obligations to customers and cooperative banks.
Why does the bank monitor customer transactions and require transaction-related information?
Since the bank that transmits the transactions of our bank and the recipient bank does not have information about either of the customers on both sides, the transmitting banks require the purpose of the payment to be written, the information of the transferor and the recipient to be complete, and if the information is incorrect, incomplete or unclear, the payment In order to clarify the meaning and obtain information about the transferor and the recipient, measures are taken to delay, reverse, and even isolate and confiscate the transaction.
Control of foreign transactions:
The foreign transaction that the customer transfers is carried out through the international settlement system under the supervision of multiple "Transferring Banks". Each transmitting bank has its anti-trafficking program and implements controls following that program. Also, the bank transmitting the transaction requires our bank to include the information of the transferor, recipient and other necessary information in the transaction being sent, according to the 15th recommendation of FAFT. The "Transmitting Bank" can refuse to transfer the transaction if this requirement is unmet. Therefore, to fulfil the contract terms with the correspondent bank and to support the conditions for the smooth transmission of the customer's payments, the bank performs specific controls on foreign transactions.
Financial crime mitigation?
A financial crime is a crime explicitly committed against property. The criminals principally commit financial crimes for their private interest, involving the illegal transfer of property ownership. Financial crimes can occur in many forms. The most common financial crimes in the financial sector are money laundering, terrorist financing, violation of international sanctions, corruption, fraud, embezzlement, forgery, and theft.
What is money laundering?
Money laundering is the process of cloaking the property right, owner, application approach, source, and location of illegal money generated by criminal activity and taking, owning, and using it by knowing its illegitimateness. The money from the criminal activity is considered dirty, and the process “launders” it to make it look clean.
What is terrorism financing?
Terrorist financing is accumulating, changing, transferring and allocating funds for terrorists, terrorist acts and activities directly or indirectly.
What is the financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction?
The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction has increasingly become part of the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing, and combating these crimes has become one of the essential responsibilities of whistleblowers.
This is the financing of any activity to manufacture, use, sell, or purchase nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons of mass destruction that are prohibited by Mongolian laws and international treaties. The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction brings grave consequences for international safety, security, and environmental well-being. Therefore, it is extremely important for the Bank to identify and stop any financial transaction that is likely to be involved in the financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Tips to avoid becoming a victim of crime:
Tips on how to ensure information security:
Tips for making foreign transfers:
As a customer, you can reduce the risk of transaction delays, cancellations, and reversals by paying attention to the following points when transferring transactions. It includes:
Risk recommendations for not updating contact information:
Dear customer, the main goal of information innovation is to continuously and quickly deliver banking services suitable for and to prevent and protect potential risks. The following risks and problems arise since the customer still needs to update the information, and it is outdated. It includes:
Tips for preventing cybercrime:
Globally, with the rapid development of new technology and the increase in the scope of its use, fraud, illegal activities, and criminal acts in the online environment have become more common.

"Berlin, I Love You" is a 2019 movie that falls within a collection of movies named 'Cities of Love'. The anthology romantic drama features 10 standalone stories, each exploring a different area and element of Berlin life. The film is a collective work by many directors, such as Dianna Agron, Peter Chelsom, and Massy Tadjedin, and stars numerous stars, including Keira Knightley, Helen Mirren, and Mickey Rourke.Plot Synopsis
Separated into ten different stories, "Berlin, I Love You" presents varied and dynamic characters and narratives which accomplish a united vision of the mythical and romantic ambiance of the city. The stories exceed basic romantic entanglements and also encompass tales of existential self-questioning, lost souls finding solace, and event of human connections.
One story includes a just recently divorced duo (Keira Knightley and Luke Wilson) finding out to see each other plainly through a puppet play enacted for their kid. Another has Mickey Rourke as a lonesome artist fascinated by a singing street performer. On The Other Hand, Helen Mirren and Keira Knightley also feature in a story that revolves around a young immature British singer and her coach, driving around the city for motivation.Style and Style
The movie is centered around the style of love in Berlin. Nevertheless, it surpasses merely romantic love and explores various kinds, such as filial love, platonic love, and self-love. The narrative style of the film permits diverse interpretations of love. It paints a vivid photo of Berlin's cultural diversity, energy, and appeal by representing different slices of the city's life.Important Responses
"Berlin, I Love You" was consulted with combined reactions from critics and audiences. While some were interested by the diverse interpretation of love and the film's beautiful portrayal of the cityscape, others deemed it as an uninspired addition to the 'Cities of Love' franchise. Some critics argued that the movie fell short of genuinely recording the spirit and context of Berlin, being far eliminated from the city's severe political truths or current city battles.Conclusion
"Berlin, I Love You" is visually enticing and brings a warm belief throughout, making for a fascinating romantic photo that endeavours to catch the subtle appeals of romantic encounters in the backdrop of a culturally abundant and varied Berlin. However, it falls short of expectations when viewed as an attempt to mirror the truth of contemporary life in Berlin. Regardless of mixed critical reviews, the film, with its unique narrative style and ensemble cast, provides an elective take on the romance category.

ZAB case: Revisiting history is necessary
The personal prejudice of the judges who voted for the capital punishment is now well-documented.
The government’s decision to file a judicial review reference to reopen the case of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, in which he was convicted of murder and sentenced to hang, has come under much opprobrium from various quarters.
There is a view that reopening this 32-year old case is basically just a ploy to divert attention from the various follies that this government has committed, ranging from the fiasco that was the National Reconciliation Ordinance, to the botched-up restoration of the judiciary to the various corruption scandals that have dogged the Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) fourth dispensation in power.
However, whatever side of the political divide one may belong to, it must be noted that the PPP founder’s trial that sent him to the gallows was not that of an ordinary criminal or a small-time neighbourhood bully, but of Pakistan’s first democratically-elected prime minister, who was the father of the country’s nuclear programme, the 1973 Constitution and the policy of building an indigenous defence manufacturing base. The personal prejudice of the judges who voted for the capital punishment is now well-documented, with former Chief Justice Nasim Hasan Shah who sat on the trial, even admitting in his memoirs that the judges had been guilty of bias.
Even the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, who was excommunicated by the Catholic Church in 1633 for challenging its dogmas, got a pardon after nearly 360 years had passed. Thirty-two years is but a fleeting moment in a nation’s history, especially of one that has spent 36 of its 63 years under military rule.
The present judiciary takes much pride in restoring the independence of the judicial branch of the state that was enshrined in the 1973 Constitution. Surely, as a nation we owe this much to the man who gave us our Constitution in the first place, that the allegations of miscarriage of justice that dogged his trial and which led to his eventual execution be looked into and the matter be decided once and for all, that whether there is substance or not in these accusations or whether he was, as many have said, a victim of “judicial murder”.

What is a Certificate of Exempt Status (CES) number?
To assist retailers in identifying organizations that qualify to make purchases exempt from Wisconsin sales and use tax, the Department of Revenue will issue the qualifying nonprofit organization or governmental unit a Certificate of Exempt Status (CES) number.
What types of nonprofit organizations and governmental units qualify for a CES number?
The following types of nonprofit organizations and governmental units qualify for a CES number:
- Organizations organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific or educational purposes, and for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals. Generally, organizations that qualify for exemption from Federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code will qualify for exemption from Wisconsin sales and use tax. These organizations are issued a Certificate of Exempt Status (CES).
- Federal governmental units and Wisconsin governmental units, including counties, cities, villages, towns and school districts, and any federally recognized American Indian tribe or band in Wisconsin, may also be granted a CES. Governmental units are not required to apply for a CES in order to receive exemption on their purchases; however, they may choose to do so.
Examples of organizations that
do not qualify for sales tax exemption for purchases by nonprofits and will not be issued a CES are as follows:
- Civic organizations
- Chambers of commerce
- Business or union organizations
- Fraternal or recreational groups
- Professional societies
- Social clubs or veteran organizations and their auxiliaries
- Governmental units of other countries and states
Purchases made by these organizations are subject to Wisconsin sales and use tax unless some other exemption applies. Information on Internal Revenue Service requirements can be found at
What about out-of-state nonprofit organizations?
The department does not issue CES numbers to nonprofit organizations of other states, since a CES number is not required for a qualifying out-of-state organization to claim an exemption from Wisconsin sales and use tax on its purchases.
A nonprofit organization qualifies for exemption on its purchases if it is a:
- "corporation, community trust fund, foundation or association organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific or educational purposes, or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals, except hospital service insurance corporations under
s. 613.80 (2), no part of the net income of which inures to the benefit of any private stockholder, shareholder, member or corporation."
Note: This exemption does not apply to purchases made by state or local governmental units from other states, including non-Wisconsin public schools and school districts. It also does not apply to fraternal, professional, labor, or civic organizations, or social or recreational clubs.
To claim the exemption if you are a qualifying organization, give your seller a fully completed
Wisconsin Sales and Use Tax Certificate
(Form S-211) with the "Other purchases exempt by law" box checked stating that your organization qualifies for exemption under sec. 77.54(9a)(f), Wis. Stats. A new electronic sales and use tax exemption certificate
(Form S-211) can be customized for your specific needs.
Caution: Penalties may apply if you use an exemption certificate in a manner that is prohibited by or inconsistent with the law or provides incorrect information to a seller. The penalty is $250 for each invoice or bill of sale related to the use of the incorrect exemption certificate.
If you are unsure whether your organization qualifies for the exemption under sec. 77.54(9a)(f), Wis. Stats., and you would like the department to make a determination, please submit a request for a private letter ruling. See
Publication 111, How to Get a Private Letter Ruling From the Wisconsin Department of Revenue for instructions.
How do I apply for a CES number?
A CES number can be obtained by submitting a completed
Application for Wisconsin Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exempt StatusForm S-103 and the following documentation:
- Articles of incorporation or bylaws
- Statement of receipts (income) and disbursements (expenses) for the organization's last accounting period
- Federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) determination letter
Governmental units only need to submit the application
Should a nonprofit organization or governmental unit charge sales tax on its sales of taxable products and services?
A nonprofit organization or governmental unit's sales are not taxable if the nonprofit organization or governmental unit qualifies for the occasional sale exemption.
The occasional sale exemption applies if
all of the following conditions are met:
- The nonprofit organization or governmental unit does not hold and is not required to hold a seller's permit.
Exception: If a nonprofit organization or governmental unit holds a seller's permit solely for the purpose of conducting bingo events, this condition is still met.
- The nonprofit organization or governmental unit's taxable sales are $50,000* or less during the calendar year,
or the nonprofit organization or governmental unit's sales of otherwise taxable sales of products and services (including admissions to amusement, athletic, recreational, or entertainment events) occur on 75* days or less during the calendar year. (For any sales of admissions or tickets, only the actual days of the events are counted, not the days of ticket or admission sales).
Note: If taxable sales exceed $50,000*
and occur on more than 75* days, the occasional sale exemption does not apply.
*Prior to January 1, 2017, the receipts standard as $25,000 and the number of days standard was 20.
- The nonprofit organization or governmental unit does not conduct an admission event involving entertainment if the total amount paid to all entertainers is in excess of $10,000*, including amounts paid as prize money or reimbursement of expenses.
*Prior to January 1, 2017, the entertainment standard was $500.
Note: If, for example, the nonprofit organization or governmental unit were to pay $15,000 in total to performers to appear at a concert for which it charges admission, the nonprofit organization or governmental unit would not meet Condition C for that event.
A nonprofit organization or governmental unit that would otherwise qualify for exempt occasional sales, except for the involvement of entertainment may do the following:
- Obtain a seller's permit from the Department of Revenue for the day or days of the event involving entertainment,
- Pay the sales tax on sales of tangible personal property and taxable services on these days, and
- Request inactivation of the seller's permit after the event by contacting the Department of Revenue.
If the above three steps are taken, the nonprofit organization or governmental unit may still make exempt occasional sales on days not covered by the permit. (Note: These days and receipts are included in determining if Condition B is met.)
If the nonprofit organization or governmental unit is required to hold a seller's permit, its sales do not qualify for the exemption.

This seems to be something that the civil rights establishment dropped the ball on, too. I agree. The civil rights establishment dropped that in many ways. That's part of my race. Many of the civil rights establishment were co-opted by the Democratic Leadership Council [DLC] when the party [phased] out emphasizing those kinds of concerns. That has come back to haunt us.
It has been reported that a new FBI policy directs bureau chiefs to compile demographic domestic data, like counting mosques, for investigations and secret national security wiretaps. Would you seek to replace the FBI guidelines that outlaw this kind of spying? Absolutely. First of all, it is wrong. It goes against the whole idea of civil liberties. What you're really doing is allowing the government to do overtly now what they did covertly in the '60s, not only to Dr. King but to every group from the [Black] Panthers to the anti-war movement. They tried a whisper campaign against Dr. King with illegal information. Imagine what they would do with legal information against anyone they would want. That is frightening. Big Brother is here, and has a license to do it.
A three-judge panel recently challenged the government concerning secret deportations. More such cases are likely to come down the pike. Could Democrats have been more effective in dealing with the Republican drive to capture judgeships? If nothing else, we could have made more noise. We could have used our bully pulpit more. Part of my race is that the Democrats have been silent, almost to the point of political laryngitis, on critical issues like judge selection, like the U.S. Patriot Act. I have never seen a season of more consent by silence than I've seen in the last decade. I think the [Democratic] strategy was, if we move to the centerwhich I think was a move to the right, not the centerwe could get elected. One, it didn't happen, because we didn't get elected. I mean, Clinton got elected at the top. We never did regain the Congress. Gingrich killed us in '94. Look what happened in 2002. It didn't work. Second, it's wrong. It's morally indefensible. We have a party of elephants running around with donkey jackets on.
Many people who are running, in my judgment, are to the right of Republicans. And that won't even come out unless there's a real debate. I'm the only candidate who is unequivocally against the war. I'm the only one who is anti-death penalty. I'm the only one pro-gun control. I'm raising issues that none of them would have to deal with because there would be no debate. That's important, not just in terms of an Al Sharpton candidacy but in terms of, What is the Democratic Party? I think 2004 is about defining what the party is.
Despite whatever tensions we've had in the last couple of years, Jesse [Jackson] mentored me. I watched Jesse take this party to where it should go. This is a battle in 2004 of the children of the rainbow versus the DLC. I think this is what it's going to come down to, if I'm successful in what I want to do. And let's define what that is. When I was growing up in Brooklyn, I knew what a Democrat was. I don't know what a Democrat is now. Is a Democrat a pro-death-penalty, a pro-war, a pro-business deregulator?
I am asking these questions now because so often all the candidates looking for black votes show up at the last minute at our churches. One of the offensive things is what you just said, and I've been saying this to ministers all over the country. As you know, I've run for office here. I have to go in the white community and explain my positions, from the beginning. Whites run, they come by our church in the middle of the choir singing "Amazing Grace," wave at us, photo op, gone. Nobody challenges them on their positions. I don't blame the candidates; I blame that on us. We need to stop allowing our communities to be photo ops for Democrats who won't address our issues. For a party that gets 92 percent of our vote, I mean, this is ridiculous. They should be dealing with these issues across the board.
The House is now considering the welfare reauthorization that demands women work 20 more hours with no more child care funds. What needs to be done? Well, first of all, it is more of the criminalizing the poor for being poor. In 1996 I marched at the Democratic convention about the welfare reform bill. Everybody in this race supported the welfare reform, and voted for it. There must be allowances for single parents in terms of child care.
Police brutality? Police accountability is a national issue. Clearly I have been involved in a lot of police brutality cases around this country. It's not just a Louima in New York; it's not just a Rodney King in L.A. There should be federal guidelines. I tried to get Clinton to do that. Martin Luther King III and I had a march on Washington around making police profiling and conduct a national issue and to get at least an executive order. Couldn't get him to do it.

Tan LA co-owner sentenced for molesting boy
A judge sentenced Tan LA co-owner Gary Haw to five years and eight months in prison for molesting a teenage boy who was employed by his business 17 years ago.
Haw appeared Tuesday before Ventura County Superior Court Judge David Worley, who sentenced the Agoura man to the maximum sentence allowed for the charge.
A jury on Feb. 28 found Haw, 54, guilty of five felony counts of lewd acts on a child between the ages of 14 and 15. The jury also found true several special enhancements related to the statute of limitations in each count.
A grand jury indicted Haw in 2013, said Senior Deputy District Attorney Andrea Haney. The victim was 14 when the molestation started. The incidents occurred from Jan. 23, 2000, to Jan. 22, 2002, Haney said.
The molestation occurred at various locations, including at Haw 's homes and at Tan LA locations in Thousand Oaks and Agoura, Haney said. The victim in the charged counts, now in his 20s, came forward and reported the molestation to police in 2012, Haney said.
Haw was arrested in December 2012.
Haw, however, will serve only half of his sentence because of credits, Haney said. Haw also will have to register as a sex offender.
"Because of the way the statutes are written, that was the maximum amount of time we could get," Haney said. "We would like to keep him in as long as possible to protect the public, but unfortunately the punishment in this case does not fit the crime. In a perfect world, he would be sentenced to far more time."
Haw's defense attorney, Robert Schwartz, declined to comment.
During the monthlong trial, five other victims testified Haw had molested them, as well, with the earliest incident occurring in 1983, Haney said.
This was not Haw's first arrest. He was arrested and convicted in 1988 after he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor child molestation, Haney said.
According to Haney, that incident occurred at the Santa Monica Mall, where Haw "sought out" a 13-year-old boy and molested the boy at a parking structure. A police officer saw Haw and the boy and arrested the Agoura man.
Haney said Haw molested another young boy in 1990, but was not arrested or charged in that incident.
Haw made contact with his first three victims in the 1980s and early 1990s at malls, Haney said. The earlier victims came forward in 2012 after reading newspaper articles about Haw's arrest.
The later incidents, involving the three other teens, took place at Haw's homes or at the tanning salons. According to police, Haw would allow the boys to tan after business hours. He would then enter the tanning room and touch the teens while they were tanning or molest them, Haney said.
"Anyone who has been a victim of molestation, we encourage them to come forward," Haney said. "They just never know how their participation might ultimately protect the public like these guys did here. It was really hard for them to come forward, but they provided really important evidence to show who this person really is."

New Lower Pricing Panels and Low Expansion Material for UltraBaseSystems
Read Video Transcript and Main Points Addressed Below
I want to talk to you a little bit today about materials and pricing. That is a huge issue for all of us. We’re all looking for the best price possible. We’re kind of in a rock in a hard place here. I’m the kind of person that I want to build something that is extremely good. I am not interested in selling something that is a low cost product. Cheap material is just not in my DNA, so we’ve always tried to build the strongest best possible products. Sometimes I’ve had guys say, well you’re over built. You know what? I like to be over built. I want our products to last and in fact, I can tell you that in the years I’ve been doing this we if ever have replaced panels because they’re broken. They just last.
Low Expansion Materials Are Here to Stay As An Option
This last episode we talked about a new material that we developed which was a low expansion material and really what that meant was I was trying to develop a plastic that kind of defeats what plastic typically tries to do which is expand and contracts. We wanted to add as much material and fairy dust, if you will, to the material to reduce the amount of expansion and contraction. And we did it. And we did it very successfully. But, that came at a price. You know I was thinking and had been reminded by some folks that I’m trying to create a product that will make it easy for everyone to install. Well you know we’ve been installing Tour Links and UltraBaseSystems for years with you know very, very few user or installer errors. Typically those installer errors are because they don’t leave enough gapping between the panels. You hear us talking about that all the time. Well this new material helped in reducing that problem, but it raise the price.
Newly Formulated Process – Lower Cost Pricing Panels
What I’ve done is I’ve gone back in to my original blend. Got with my chemist, got with my material suppliers and said look, let’s take what we’ve been doing for years, let’s refine it, and let’s get it at a better cost than we’ve ever had before. I challenged him to do that and you know what? We did it. By doing that, you’re going to see starting in the weeks to come an announcement of a lower priced panel system that’s going to primarily be the alter based professional and the alter based champion. It will lead us into other panels like the new max panel coming out and or the quart system that is in our day to day material to go underneath the sport tiles.
But what it’s going to mean to you guys is that you’re going to see a sizeable reduction in price per square foot. So you’re going to have to be careful in installing. Nothing different than what you’ve done for years in the past, but you’re still going to have to pay attention to the whole rule of when it’s cold, you gap it all the way, and when it’s hot you still have to gap it, but not quite as much. Once we got that down, I think you’re all going to see a great benefit from the lower cost. We’re excited by it. We want the product to be affordable to the entire industry world wild and we think this is a really good way of doing it. Now that we’re going to have a lower cost material to be able to offer better costing panels.
Why We Feel Lower Expansion Material Is Still A Huge Innovation
I want you to understand something. I am still extremely proud of this low expansion material and we’re going to keep as part of our inventory. Why? Because I love how it works on golf greens and maybe bocce courts because it does expand so little, you can reduce the amount of gaps, which means that for the thinner turfs like putting turf and to our bocce court or croquet, you won’t have as much gapping between the panel. Not that we ever see the turf want to indent or impressions into the gaps, but this is just a way for us to close the panel up even more, I think to get a cleaner look, so that if you want to do the lower expansion material, it’s going to be a little bit more pricey, but it’s going to be available. If not, we’re going to be building putting greens for five, seven years with the everyday material with no issues. Again, I will let you know that we will keep that low expansion material available and if you have a need for it, talk to us, and we can give you pricing and why we think it might be better for certain applications.

Walking through the historical old town of Teguise takes us back centuries, to times when the island was governed by Landowners, Lords and the Clergy (ecclesiastical). The architectural appearance of Teguise is that of another century, it looks like a town anchored between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In 1852 Teguise conceded Capital status in favour of Arrecife hence losing its growth of power obtained from previous centuries. Due to the profound economic crisis this created, there was a general construction paralysis and it thereby maintained its present day aspect as one of the most picturesque areas of the Canary Islands.
A walk through its streets which are steeped in history allows you to learn about the town, its buildings, its people, its cultures and its art and gives you a real insight into Lanzarote and its cultures and traditions.
A guided tour through time gone by, visiting the historical old town of Teguise walking through its traditional streets and picturesque alleyways with its marvellous architecture gives you are real flavour of the island and its people.

New Farish Street bistro opens with local singer
Local singer, songwriter and acoustic guitarist Kerry Thomas is slated to perform this Friday at the official grand opening of Johnny T’s Bistro and Blues on Farish Street.
Grateful for an opportunity to be part of the “new” Farish Street, Thomas recalls reading a report detailing the historic district’s heyday. “Man, it blew my mind. I did not know that. We are sitting on hallowed ground right now. It was beautiful.”
It is also a moment for Thomas to recognize the incessant demand for his pop, R&B, neo-soul performance that includes covers of artists like Al Green, Usher and even 90s musical bad boy band Jodeci.
“Man, Stax hit me up on Facebook. I don’t know Stax at all,” Thomas laughs, referring to bistro owner John Tierre “Stax” Miller. “He just hit me up on Facebook like ‘Yo, this Stax, call me.’ I hit him up and he was real cool. He was like, ‘yo, come down here, I’ll let you check out the spot and everything.’ ”
Thomas quickly accepted the invitation and was charmed by what he saw. He describes Johnny T’s as “classy but you can still hang out and chill out.”
Chill seems to be Thomas’ modus operandi as the self-proclaimed introvert reclines on the patio of Johnny T’s explaining how his musical journey originated in his hometown of Baton Rouge.
“I learned I could sing as a kid. My mom used to — I guess she only had one tape — she used to have that Luther Vandross in the tape deck everywhere we went. So, I knew all his songs front to back,” says the 30-year-old Thomas.
Singing the lyrics “You got me going in circles,” Thomas smiles and says, “That’s my joint right there,” referring to the song originally performed by late ’60s group The Friends of Distinction but made legendary by Vandross.
A friend introduced Thomas, a long-time fan of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and John Legend, to the music of John Mayer when he transferred from Rust College to Tougaloo College. It is here Thomas developed a love for acoustic guitar.
“I had never listened to John Mayer, to him particularly ever, and then I heard his first album ‘Room for Squares’ and I mean from top to bottom it blew my mind. Even today, I got it in the car right now,” Thomas says.
Purchasing an acoustic guitar from a pawn shop, he taught himself how to use it watching YouTube tutorials. Hoping to achieve Mayer’s skillset one day, Thomas rates his own strumming “a strong four” and incorporates the sound into his songwriting, wedding sets and with his band — No Script.
Once Thomas received his degree in economics, he accepted a position as assistant director in the grants department at Tougaloo in 2008. The following year he received his MBA from Jackson State University.
He gradually moved from singing in karaoke spots to being a preferred talent.
He has opened up for the Rebellious Soul Tour with national artists Jon B, Carl Thomas and K. Michelle and the likes of Keith Sweat in Biloxi, along with personal venues in a variety of cities.
With no plans of leaving Mississippi to seek more exposure in bigger cities, Thomas believes the Internet makes his dream obtainable from almost anywhere in the world. He also credits the “amazing” Jackson music scene.
“It’s like a gem. ... There are so many amazing singers, rappers, artists everything ... I’m having fun,” Thomas says. “Slowly but surely, goals are being crushed every time I do something.”
One of his goals was the release of his first album “Eye of the Storm” in October 2012, which debuted at No. 1 in the Amazon Soul Category and has sold 20,000 copies to date. He received JFP’s Best of Jackson Award in 2012 and 2013. Nominated for Jackson Music Awards Best Male Vocalist in 2014, Thomas brought home the “Jackie” at this year’s ceremony.
Offering some words of encouragement to upcoming independent artists, Thomas says “Be true to yourself, the money will come and don’t be ashamed to ask for help. Those are the three, that’s all you need. That’s helped me a lot.”
