Stroke is common in children with sickle cell anemia but is rarely attributed to the traditional causes of stroke identified in other children. We report an 11 year-old girl with sickle cell anemia who presented with severe headache and was found to have recurrent bilateral multifocal strokes in a cardioembolic pattern. Evaluation revealed the presence of a patent foramen ovale, antiphospholipid antibodies, and elevations in factor VIII and lipoprotein a. Sickle cell anemia is itself a hypercoaguable state with potential for increased right heart pressures, both of which predispose to paradoxical embolization via right-to-left intracardiac shunting of emboli causing stroke. This case suggests that the more traditional etiologies for pediatric stroke may also cause stroke in children with sickle cell anemia.
Clinically overt stroke occurs in 8–10% of children with sickle cell anemia and evidence of silent stroke is detectible by MRI in up to 35%.  Traditionally, the diagnostic evaluation of stroke in affected patients ends with the identification of the abnormal hemoglobin. There are few identified risk factors, with previous stroke, severe anemia, acute chest syndrome, cerebral vasculopathy, and increased transcranial Doppler ultrasound velocity predisposing to recurrent stroke. In children and young adults without sickle cell anemia, patent foramen ovale is an established risk factor for stroke via paradoxical embolization, whereby emboli from the venous circulation escape filtration by the lungs and pass from the right atrium directly to the left heart and on to the brain. [3,4] Coincident thrombophila and patent foramen ovale further increases the risk of stroke.  We report a girl with sickle cell anemia, antiphospholipid antibodies, elevations of factor VIII and lipoprotein a, and patent foramen ovale who presented with multiple recurrent strokes in a cardioembolic pattern suggesting a significant role for these alternative etiologies in her stroke.
An 11 year old girl with homozygous sickle cell anemia (hemoglobin SS) presented with parvovirus-associated aplastic crisis. She had a recent history of cough, fever, diarrhea, as well as pain in her abdomen and lower back and mild headache. On admission, her hemoglobin concentration was 2.7 g/dl (baseline 8.3 g/dl), reticulocyte count was 0.1%, and polymerase chain reaction was positive for parvovirus B19. She was slowly transfused in multiple small aliquots to a hemoglobin concentration of 12.0 g/dl. Three days later, she developed a severe bilateral frontal headache with pounding quality with associated photophobia and phonophobia. There were no focal findings on her neurologic examination.
MRI identified a single area of restricted diffusion in the right superior frontal lobe with no evidence of hemorrhage (Figure 1A). She was treated for headache and was started on aspirin. Her headache resolved but recurred two days later. A repeat MRI at that time (Figure 1B) revealed enlargement of the area of restricted diffusion in the right frontal lobe with multiple additional areas of restricted diffusion in the deep left frontal white matter, as well as in the right periatrial and parietal occipital subcortical white matter and the right putamen. MRA revealed narrowing and irregularity of the supraclinoid internal carotid arteries and M1 segment of the right middle cerebral artery. There were no prior MRA or transcranial Doppler ultrasound studies. Patent foramen ovale was identified by noncontrasted transthoracic echocardiography. Antiphospholipid antibodies were detected, with marked elevation of anticardiolipin IgM and IgG as well as antiphosphatidylserine IgM and IgA antibodies. Further evaluation for hypercoagulability showed mildly elevated factor VIII activity (185%) and elevated lipoprotein a (83 mg/dl).
She had a recurrence of severe headache two weeks later with repeat MRI demonstrating new areas of infarction in the bilateral caudate and right putamen (not shown). She was anticoagulated with heparin and transitioned to therapy with warfarin, given her ongoing recurrent stroke, patent foramen ovale, and hypercoaguable state. Aspirin therapy was continued and chronic transfusion therapy, the starndard prevention for recurrent stroke in sickle cell disease was initiated. Follow up MRI two months later (not shown) revealed areas of increased T2 signal in fluid attenuated inversion recovery images in areas corresponding to the previous areas of restricted diffusion but no evidence of further stroke. Follow-up MRA showed widely patient arteries (Figure 1C), demonstrating that she did not have a significant sickle vasculopathy and that the vascular abnormalities observed at the time of acute stroke were transient. Antiphospholipid antibody titers returned to normal levels by 12 weeks and warfarin was discontinued 18 months later. She continues on verapamil for migraine prophylaxis as well as aspirin and chronic transfusions. She has had no further evidence of recurrent stroke for 4 years.
Our patient had multiple risk factors for stroke: Sickle cell anemia itself, possible sickle cerebral vasculopathy, a severe anemic event, transfusion, and multiple thrombophilic abnormalities including transient antiphospholipid antibodies, elevated factor VIII, and elevated lipoprotein a. Antiphospholipid antibodies have been reported in sickle cell anemia  and following parvovirus infection.  Elevated factor VIII has been demonstrated to increase risk of venous and arterial thrombotic disease in African-Americans and elevated lipoprotein a has been identified as a risk factor for stroke in children. Her hypercoaguable state and an underlying sickle vasculopathy could have led to multiple embolic events; however, the normal appearing cerebral vasculature on MRA two months after presentation argues against the presence of a significant irreversible sickle vasculopathy. Her presentation with recurrent, multifocal, bilateral infarcts was more consistent with a cardiac source. We suspect patent foramen ovale may have played a causal role by the mechanism of paradoxical embolization of thrombi resulting from her hypercoagulable state. A significant association between patent foramen ovale and stroke was demonstrated in a meta-analysis of case-control studies of young adult patients ≤ 55 years of age, with patent foramen ovale noted in 17.8% (95% CI: 14.3%–21.3%) of the combined control group and in 40.2% (95% CI: 36.2%–44.2%) of patients with stroke.  The role of paradoxical embolization in stroke and treatment options for patent foramen ovale is the subject of much recent controversy.
There are several physiologic features of sickle cell anemia that may serve to predispose to stroke by paradoxical embolization. First, the disorder is, in itself, a hypercoagulable state. Old and new thrombi are observed in the pulmonary vasculature in postmortem studies of patients with sickle cell anemia, illustrating the effective pulmonary filter. Patients have high levels of thrombin, abnormal activation of fibrinolysis, decreased levels of anticoagulant proteins, and platelet activation.  Second, right-to-left shunting is favored by the pathophysiologic changes secondary to anemia itself and to pulmonary hypertension, which may affect up to 46% of children with sickle cell anemia.  Right heart pressures can also increase in the setting of acute chest syndrome, a condition associated with stroke.  During vaso-occlusive crisis, immobility and dehydration favor formation of deep venous thrombi, a potential source of paradoxical emboli, and pulmonary artery pressures increase, favoring right-to-left shunting.
Studies of fat embolization syndrome in sickle cell anemia are also supportive of a role of paradoxical embolization in stroke. Multiple scattered punctate MRI abnormalities, consistent with embolic phenomenon were reported with fat embolization syndrome following vaso-occlusive crisis.  Neurologic symptoms, including focal signs and focal lesions on MRI, were noted in half of the patients with fat emboli detected by bronchoscopy in patients with vaso-occlusive crisis and acute chest syndrome, while none of the patients without pulmonary fat emboli had neurologic symptoms.  The heart was not examined in these studies, but the only route for fat emboli to the brain is via right-to-left shunting in the heart or lungs.
Our case illustrates that children with sickle cell anemia and stroke may have other traditional stroke risk factors in addition to their hemoglobinopathy. The consensus recommendation of the Paediatric Stroke Working Group  is to include evaluation for other hypercoagulable conditions as well as transthoracic echocardiogram in the diagnostic evaluation of children with sickle cell anemia and stroke. In these children, recognition of these alternative risk factors could alter the management and potentially reduce recurrence or aid in primary prevention of stroke.

NZ GCSB denies facing US pressure to ban Huawei
The head of New Zealand’s Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) has denied being pressured by foreign governments to make his decision to prohibit mobile operator Spark from using Huawei equipment in its 5G rollouts.
During remarks to the parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee, GCSB director-general Andrew Hampton addressed the agency’s November decision to reject Spark’s 5G rollout proposal on national security grounds, due to the decision to use equipment from Chinese vendor Huawei in the proposed rollout.
Hampton said the decision was made after completing the first assessment for a proposed 5G rollout project under the Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act framework. He added that the assessment had found “a significant network security risk”.
But Hampton denied the reports and speculation that the New Zealand government was facing pressure from its US counterpart to ban Huawei equipment from 5G rollouts due to the US government’s own purported national security concerns.
“I would like to assure the committee that in making my decision at no point was I under direct or indirect pressure from any party,” he said.
“My decision was independent from Ministers and while we share intelligence with Five Eyes partners, there was no pressure, requests or demands made by partners, either publicly or privately, to ban any vendor.”
He added that the regulatory process is still ongoing, and Spark is reviewing its options for appealing the decision.
Meanwhile, the Bureau’s National Cyber Security Centre responded to 347 cybersecurity incidents in the 2017–18 financial year, of which 134 contained indicators that they were linked to state-sponsored cyber attackers, Hampton said.

Wow, even though I’m up early, I’m so excited to be up and sharing this post with you before I head off on a road trip across the West! 🙂
Everyone has a different version of balance. I’ve come to the point, where I probably wouldn’t have a percentage to my ratios of eating vegetables vs. dessert, but I have those days, when what I ate seems just right. For my ‘What I ate Wednesday’ with Jenn I’m going to share what my version of a balanced day of eats looks like for my body.
The day usually starts out with something that either normally involves a good amount of carbs, some protein, and of course, peanut butter for my FAT! 🙂
It sometimes comes in the form of pancakes.
Or oatmeal . . .
Or cottage cheese and pecans and (usually a piece of unpictured fruit on the side)
I don’t usually have a snack on the hours between breakfast and lunch, but lunch normally includes some sort of leftover from dinner the night before + some salad. 🙂
Sometimes it’s a TACO salad! I <3 taco salad.
And my stomach normally doesn’t survive the whole distance between lunch and dinner so a banana and peanut butter is a normal snack.
Other times the snack might just have a little more sugar in it… Usually, if I have a dessert in the afternoon, I don’t often want to eat a dessert after dinner. It depends on the day.
Then there’s dinner, the last meal, before the breaking of the fast in the morning. I love dinner time, because it’s a time for my family to get together and fellowship and talk, a bit (We’re not the most talkative people in the world), after a long day. Family truly is a gift from God, and I pray that God would help me never to take them for granted.
Dinner varies from chicken to sloppy joes to macaroni n’ cheese or a salad bar. It really just depends on the night, but this dinner is a dinner I enjoyed last week that was worth noting . . .
Teriyaki Chicken and Spinach Salad and Sesame Peas. – Since I’m part Japanese, any Oriental dish always has a special place in my heart :).
And to top it all off if I didn’t have a dessert in the afternoon, I usually…. have some sort of sweet thing like cake, or icecream (I had a good amount of icecream this summer), pie, a cookie, or some candy. 🙂
Introducing: The Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cake (One of the best cake recipes EVER!)
I hope you have a blessed day. Today, I want to make a special effort, in the car, to count my many blessings, friends and the ability to enjoy fellowship in Christ!!! 🙂
What are you eating this week?
Sweet or salty food?
Do you eat dessert everyday? Or are you more of a once every other day sort of a person?

The coronavirus crisis has thrown a real spotlight on the pub sector and the importance pubs play within the community. The Morning Advertiser (MA) has been inundated with stories of how operators have stepped up during the pandemic to perform vital services.
To recognise these amazing stories, the MA has decided to adapt the Great British Pub Awards to celebrate some superb heroes of the crisis - the pubs that, despite being on their knees, continued to put food into vulnerable hands and provide vital services for communities reeling in the midst of the crisis.
MA editor Ed Bedington said: “When the Prime Minister told the pubs to shut, for many, their world fell apart - operators throughout the country were in freefall, facing an uncertain and worrying future.
“Yet, despite that fear and anxiety, many pubs continued to support the communities around them, whether that was providing meals for vulnerable elderly locals, or vital supplies such as eggs, flour and milk by setting up as community shops.
“We’ve always promoted pubs as being the hubs and hearts of the communities they serve, and without a doubt, this crisis has proven that many times over.
“I am personally in awe of what some of our operators have been able to achieve, and it’s only right that we recognise and celebrate those incredible acts.”
The awards are now open for entry at www.greatbritishpubawards.co.uk across a range of new special one-off categories.
- Feeding the Community – A pub that has kept their community fed
- Front-Line Support – A pub that has supported the NHS and other front-line workers in a variety of ways
- Staff Welfare – A pub that has gone above and beyond to look after their teams
- Community Mindfulness – A pub that has supported the community’s mental health
- Community Services – A pub that has looked after vulnerable customers
- Business Continuity – A pub that has found innovative ways to continue to deliver its services during the lockdown
- Pub Shop – A pub that has pivoted to provide essential supplies to its local community
- Charity Champion – A pub that has raised money for charity despite the lockdown
- Keeping the Community Entertained – A pub that has continued to provide vital entertainment to its community – virtual quizzes, concerts etc
- Sheltering the Community – A pub that has provided a room for someone in need
- Punch Pub Hero of the Year
- Admiral Pub Hero of the Year
- Greene King Pub Hero of the Year
- Ei Publican Partnerships Pub Hero of the Year
Bedington added: “We’ve simplified the entry and judging process this year in light of the challenges you’ve all been facing. All you have to do to enter is to tell us your story in one of the categories above - let us know how you’ve worked hard to help your community.
“We’ll bring forward the best entries and they will then be put to a public vote before we announce our winners with a special online event which you’ll all be able to stream direct into your pubs to create your own celebration to share with your customers.
“What are you waiting for? Get your entries in now and help us tell the world how fantastic and important pubs really are!”
The awards are kindly sponsored by Admiral, Booker/Makro, Coca-Cola European Partners, Diageo, Ei Publican Partnerships, Greene King, Heineken UK and Punch and supported by Long Live the Local.
Entries are open now on www.greatbritishpubawards.co.uk and close on 24 July.

We sat in the lobby, beneath a ceiling that extended beyond the fifth and sixth floors, never seeming to end or reach a point where the roof and sky were separate. I sat lost in an oversized couch, my feet never touching the ground even as I comfortably slumped down, and we were drunk, or as Ernest Hemingway often preferred to say in his novels, we were rather "tight." Staged above on the second floor balcony was a band playing, and the ensemble consisted of men and women formally dressed in tuxedos and black evening gowns. They seemed to hum a calming whisper beyond the melodies they were creating, making it very soothing to sit and bask in the glow of the corner fireplace.
I closed my eyes, and listened. Dropping my head back, I swished rich subtle flavors of a spiced island rum and coke on my palate, making my tongue silky smooth. The melodies they performed were soft and jazzy. Harmonious tones, sliding and twisting through the acoustics of a hardwood floor and skyscraper pillars found their way into my breath, and as I breathed in, the mood of the room became dramatically different.
Not from the same affect my numbing nose and lips were being attacked, but instead, I was intoxicated by that single, naive moment which would ultimately discover me out of the existence of being lost among other musicians. I realized at that casual moment that I had tolerated a course of study without ever acknowledging that I did not really belong there. I was indeed a musician in my own right, but my role was not defined according to what everyone else was safely doing. As I watched them above me playing their program, they felt safe, but I knew I wanted to stick my neck out, I needed to compose and play something more than music.
A shy little girl, trying to act discreetly, walking through the dimly lit street, I was in awe of the goings-on around me. I had expected only traditional Dixieland, Creole, and jazz music, but I soon found that I knew very little about the Bourbon Street of today. The mixture of modern music and sex brought a feeling of invasion to the French Quarter I had not anticipated, and my rose colored glasses began to crumple.
I soon realized my appetite for the sophisticated side of life, which honestly meant I was just being a naive snob. This atmosphere was part of the history of New Orleans, and I was just about to get a crude lesson about the "real world" everyone had always spoken sarcastically about. Stopping off at many bars throughout the night, I enjoyed that each one had its own live band. I waited a long while and had a slow drink in this place where there was a blues quartet moaning and swaying. Their faces sagged as they played with closed eyes. Listening, in this world where everyone was supposed to mellow down easy, I believe they were more vital with each music progression.
I noticed a gentleman in the doorway, who was very generous with his cigarettes. He sang along a phrase here and there with the band. I watched him for a long time, trying to imagine him standing in the doorway of my bar; what would the doorway even look like? And would he sing along with the band?
I found myself walking over toward him, he wasn't tall or dark nor even what I would consider handsome, but he filled out his clothes in a way that I could see muscle definition through his white t-shirt. I don't smoke, but I asked him for a cigarette and we started to talk about the band. I was interested in what he might say because I thought he was a local. He mentioned the reason he loved coming to Bourbon Street was purely for the music. I was actually impressed with the conversation at first, right up until he asked me back to his hotel. For the rest of the night and on into the next morning I walked through the streets soaking up the experience. A block away from Bourbon Street at the St.Loius hotel, I sat on a third floor balcony, my dehydrated lips sipping water. Listening to the people below me, I envisioned a large room, perhaps in an old house or basement, with aging brick walls and dirty hardwood floors. People sitting at a mahogany bar with wooden stools could feel the hand finished craftsmanship beneath them. Tables and chairs with supple brown leather seats sat in a dimly lit room filled with smoke. And a man stood in the doorway where red tapestry hung around the frame. Then I went to sleep, disappointed in myself for falling under the spell of the trend du jour idea.
We were close, but culturally distant. Here we enjoyed palm trees; white sandy beaches and we fell in love with and snorkeled in clear waters. But there is more to mention here than the obvious enjoyment of tropical land. We made laughs about the business men in black socks and low cut dress shorts, explored the island on little scooters while "giving way" to the other traffic as it squeezed by the narrow winding roads and we had too many close calls while briefly forgetting to go around the left to make a right hand turn.
It was here that I briefly lost thought to jazz and blues. A particular dining experience, a pleasure for kings and queens, one night was so generously bestowed upon me. I was made to feel very beautiful by the admiring stares of my dinner companion and I wanted to "strut my stuff "after the five star dinner. We ordered our cognacs respectfully and I tactfully nursed my Grand Marnier. Once again, a couch and I became fast friends.
A piano player joined us in the parlor, which was housed in a turn of the century home. The pianist asked that we make a request, so I asked for "La vie en Rose." The waiters, tall and dark skinned wore white dinner coats. They spoke with an English brogue and I asked silly redundant questions to captivate the moments with their voices for as long as I could. I started to envision a piano and wine bar as a gentleman strolled over to me, struck a long match, shielded the flame behind his cupped palm and extended toward me to light my Cuban cigar.
This night had been too wonderful. This whole trip, too perfect. I remember thinking that as the doorman opened the cab and I stepped down to get in. We were feeling more than just happy; we were content as well. Nothing could have been more pleasant than that night by the shore where we had lobster for dinner and listened to the soft sounds of the ocean behind the music of a string quartet. I remember talking non-stop in the back of the cab, excited about my travels and the many ideas they had inspired for my dream of owning my own restaurant and musical theme bar. I couldn't get my words out fast enough. As I was in the middle of describing the savoring idea of a cognac bar, we were struck; out of the darkness came a pickup truck. He never even tried to stop.
He didn't see us, although I saw him from the corner of my eye, just as the words began flowing so gracefully from my lips. But then, only blood began to flow from my mouth. It was amazing that I only suffered minor injuries. My friend had been flown to a trauma center where he later died, and all that I had left of that night, besides the memories, was an Italian tie that I had picked out for him to wear from a shop in our hotel. It was stained with blood, and now I wish I had gotten it cleaned and kept it. The designer was killed this past summer. The blood on the tie somehow seems both ironic and symbolic now. I promised him that I would someday truly design and build my dream. I 'm still not sure what kind of musical theme I like best. But I would like to honor the memories of my friend and the many places we went together. I can not yet describe them all, but that night was still an inspiration. It was the first time I met the blues.

Prague Shakespeare Company
One man. Seventeen Characters. Ninety Minutes. In his tour-de-force one-man presentation of HAMLET, Guy Roberts presents unique insights into the mind of Shakespeare’s greatest and most famous creation. Using only Shakespeare’s words, in a conflated text that incorporates the First Folio (with additional aspects from the First and Second Quarto), the audience experiences the world of the play through Hamlet’s eyes – only seeing and hearing the scene and moments that the character Hamlet himself experiences in the play. Taking this singular journey with the Prince of Denmark, audiences will understand the actions, themes and motives of the play’s main character as never before. Whether seen as story of devastating human domestic passions or a suspenseful political mystery of intrigue, revenge and betrayal, the tragedy of Denmark’s “sweet prince” continues to challenge and inspire.
Originally performed 10 years ago in Prague and on tour in Houston, TX USA (in association with Classical Theatre Company, JJ Johnston Artistic Director, who also co-directed the Houston version with Roberts), the production drew rave reviews. This new version builds on Roberts ten years of growth as an artist since the original production. PSC Artistic Director Guy Roberts starring as Hamlet, states, “People change, grow and develop, as does a cultures’ response to an artistic work. The world is very different today than it was ten years ago and so my Hamlet must likewise grow and change. It would be impossible and ill-advised to simply remount a decade old success. It is incredibly exciting for me to once again, after ten years, examine Hamlet the play and man. Perhaps what keeps Hamlet fresh and exciting is that these questions remain for each audience: why does not Hamlet immediately avenge his father’s murder? Is it the weight of the conscience ‘that doth make cowards of us all?’ What keeps us from acting on our basest and most immediate impulses—is it social convention or personal morality—or simply the fear of punishment? What keeps us alive when all forces point towards giving up and submitting to death—that ‘undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns?’ Is Hamlet a hero? Perhaps—but the ambiguity of his heroic nature is what keeps him so fascinating. Though the play contains as much intrigue (and possibly bloodshed) as many action movies, no hero—or villain—in history has embodied such a complexity of thought and emotion. In the end, Hamlet is an exciting and essential theatrical experience compelling audiences to decide for themselves whether he is philosopher, dilettante, hero, villain, lover, madman, fighter, victim or some fluid, ambiguous and contradictory combination of all of these.”
Roberts stars and directs from his adaptation of the play. The production is approximately 90 minutes long without an interval.

To save damage to the gearbox, the GCU has to be closed loop control!
If not, you're either wasting time or going to miss shift.
The better systems will protect your gearbox and engine from over revving by mapping each gear with the ratio and throw distance/timing/pressure which is different for each gear. Takes a long time to configure but clutchless up and down gear changes are possible, even at low speed.
I use the shiftec system but as its used in Le Mans etc as standard, it's definitely the best system but unfortunately not the cheapest; they even do the clutch system to go with it to make the car true F1 2 peddle setup...
Also, GCU is canbus and can talk to Motec etc which then allows the ECU to know what gear youre in which opens up further features.

The House worked all day Saturday on the bill, amid fierce opposition from Democrats who said it was a waste of time. Senate Democrats said they would quickly take out the ObamaCare and medical device language, and ship it back to the House.
At this point, a short-term shutdown may already be in the cards, since it might take time to hammer out the details of a last-minute agreement.
The prospect of a shutdown has already disrupted the week's schedule — as of Sunday night, it was impossible to say what either chamber would be doing by the middle of the week.
The House, however, has made some plans for Monday morning. Members will start at 10 a.m., and consider two suspension bills. They are:
— H.R. 3174, which would allow the Secretary of Transportation to exceed a $100 million cap on grants to repair roads damaged by a national emergency. This bill, from Rep. Cory GardnerCory GardnerGOP rips 'reckless' Gitmo transfers Pot proponents plot legislative blitz Tim Kaine backs call to boost funding for Israeli missile defense MORE (R-Colo.), is meant to get more aid to Colorado in the wake of floods that may have caused up to $500 million in damage to the state's roads.

Recognizable stars can't save the blunt thriller Perfect Stranger – a disorganized movie filled with unnecessary dialogue and ridiculously predictable situations in a surprisingly weak script.
Halle Berry has the lead role as Katharine/Ro, a tenacious journalist at the New York Courier. Her information-gathering skills are complemented by several aliases and her research partner Miles, played by Giovanni Ribisi (Saving Private Ryan, Friends). Miles has endless energy and focus, but Ribisi tenses his face muscles in almost every dialogue scene. This is an annoying habit, particularly when his scatter shot dialogue doesn't have any real focus.
Ro's beginning investigative story of a Senator seems misplaced until you understand how she's drawn to men of power and has a desire to bring them down. She establishes, particularly to Miles, that no man rules her, but this message is contradicted. You get hints of a darker side (e.g. problems with her boyfriend) but the story just skims along, touching several different areas.
Without a steady theme and character development that could put some real emotion into the story, Berry can only draw upon her own personal appeal, as the audience must sift through the mundane situations and possibilities presented. Filmmakers definitely could've stressed the position of her boyfriend, played by Gary Dourdan (CSI, Alien Resurrection), or shown more of Ro's famous stories (e.g. a quick montage sequence) without spoiling anything. At least the audience would have a better idea of her character.
One important question audiences might ask themselves: How do the other characters know where to find this seemingly professional reporter, who has several aliases, in a large city? A childhood acquaintance named Grace, played by Nicki Aycox, finds Ro in an alley. Miles seems to find her at will. Even the New York Courier's editor, played by Richard Portnow (Good Morning Vietnam, The Sopranos), tracks her down in a café.
After a very odd jump in the story, Bruce Willis enters the picture as ad execute Harrison Hill, who is Ro's next journalistic target. Hill has a survivor attitude and believes deeply in loyalty (and self righteous justice). His strong convictions and survival-type attitudes open him to constant power struggles, which make him paranoid in almost every situation. "Kill or become irrelevant," he says. As her alias, Katherine, Ro quickly assesses Hill's professional and personal life thanks to Miles' research and a very gossipy co-worker named Gina, played by Clea Lewis (Ellen television series), who introduces even more possibilities and situations to the story.
The movie also introduces another character, Josie, as Hill's closest business associate. Josie only exists out of necessity you never really see her in action that much. Other characters talk her up to be a ruthless, know-it-all who deals with people threatening Hill's success/reputation. A power struggle sequence between her and the well-connected Ro (presented in previews, but not in the actual film) would've helped the film. She could've made a surprise appearance in the restaurant scene.
The execution of the film by director James Foley hurts it the most. For example, there is a sequence with loud, tense music while a character does simple research on a computer. The music seems to imply that this scene is important, but it doesn't hit the mark. Other examples: a picture on a Hurricane site looks completely fake, and at one point a character "sneaks" into an office with the shades open. These situations get progressively laughable and then worse as screenwriter Todd Komarnicki (writer/director of Resistance) and story writer Jon Bokenkamp (Taking Lives) layout an uninteresting path. Their scatter shot dialogue is stressful instead of intriguing, and the payoff(s) are definitely not worth viewing.
A stronger story also would have avoided endless explanations through dialogue and used more visuals. If the audience pays attention, then all presented elements are embarrassingly predictable. The filmmakers reportedly filmed three separate endings for the movie. It might be interesting to see the alternative endings or reedited versions, because this movie clearly loses its focus before the ending, which leaves the possibility that this story could go on.
Overall, the movie captures how tragic events can grip people and make them "lose sight of who [they] are." Flashbacks provide helpful explanation, although they would have been better if placed near the beginning of the film. Of course, this placement would have spoiled the surprise ending, which wasn't that great.
The film is a lot of smoke and mirrors with nothing substantial behind the curtain. It should have redeeming values or a feel good conclusion, but needs some substantial work. The only thing Perfect Stranger does well is to lose the audience's interest long before the decisive third act. Not recommended. Rated R for language, mature themes, sexual content, nudity and some disturbing violent images.

With his brother T.J. Watt witnessing firsthand the locker room drama involving the Pittsburgh Steelers, J.J. Watt got a chance to address the situation Thursday.
Appearing on an episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, the Houston Texans star compared the Steelers' drama to the Kardashian family.
“It does seem very dramatic," Watt said. "It’s like somebody that’s watching the Kardashians, and I can call one of the Kardashians. I’ll call my brother, I see everything on TV, and I’ll be like, ‘OK, give me the real story.’ And it’s pretty wild.

#281 Postcard from United Kingdom
Two weeks ago I was visiting London, United Kingdom. I managed to write some postcards and send them back home. Today I received two of them.
The first postcard shows a double image of firework at London Eye. The postcard was damaged a bit by water, and the scanner is not able to capture the double image of the postcard.
No postmark applied to the stamp. All five of us was on London Eye on the evening of 10 May 2012.

Phil Ochs - I Ain't Marching Anymore (1965)
"I ain't marching anymore" is the ultimate rebel album! Lyrics jab and point at the social unrest ...music points at Dylan'esque passages .....all only like Phil Ochs can do .
No question this is a very dated album as most of the topics are well aged but the point of the songs are just as relevant as the day they were released!
Phil has a lovely voice and seems to transcend all time.
These days are gone......but the music is still very much here !

A couple of weeks ago a rumor spread that the new writers for the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man movie would be none other than John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein. Readers might recognize those names as the men who were rumored to have been on the list to direct the film before losing out to Jon Watts. Perhaps the Marvel producers loved their take on the character but did not have the confidence that their directing abilities matched with the project. Either way, that rumor has now been confirmed in an interview with NPR and they are now the writers on the upcoming reboot of the Spider-Man series.
Daley and Goldstein’s first screenplay together was 2011’s Horrible Bosses, before following up with The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2, and Horrible Bosses 2. In the following weeks they are releasing Vacation, a film they wrote and directed together.
When questioned about their approach to the character, Daley had this to say:
He’s a sharp kid and witty and kind of deals with the fact that he’s an outcast and a geek through humor. It is sort of the safety net for geeks like us, so I think we can totally relate to where he’s coming from. As well as the superpowers, which we also have.
The reviews for Vacation have started to trickle in today and they haven’t been very positive, with Scott Foundas of Variety saying, “A trip to the corner store with this cast of characters would be an endurance test – which, with any luck, is as far as the movie’s box office returns will carry it.” Still, with so many collaborators and studios controlling parts of a film it is hard to speculate if this is any indication about their vision for the new movie and skills as writers. Here at Superior Spider-Talk we are taking a wait-and-see approach, but feel free to speculate all you will about this writing team.

This month we praying for our city.
When [Jesus] approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes” (Luke 19:41-42 NASB).
Pray that the Spirit of Christ will free those in your city whose eyes have been blinded by the darkness of sin. Pray that they will be able to clearly see the light of the gospel and be saved.
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (2 Corinthians 4:4 NIV).

Get ready to snap your fingers! Set to be released in Malaysia on Halloween’s Day, watch the ghoulish Addams Family in this animated feature, with the voices of Charlize Theron, Oscar Isaac, Chloe Grace Moretz, Finn Wolfhard, and Bette Midler among others. If recent pop culture fans know The Addams Family at all, they probably remember it as a 1960s TV show, a 2010 Broadway musical, or a set of 1990s movies directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. But the “creepy and kooky, mysterious and spooky” family actually started life as a series of satirical cartoons drawn by Charles Addams and published in The New Yorker between 1938 and 1988.
Now they are back on the big screen in the first animated comedy about the kookiest family on the block. In case you have yet to meet them, the first family of Halloween, the Addams Family, consists of Morticia, her husband Gomez, and their kids Wednesday and Pugsley, Uncle Fester and Grandmama. Like most soft-pedaled children’s movies, their Addams family makes a vague gesture toward a meaningful life lesson — in this case, a timely message about the importance of recognizing people’s humanity, regardless of their differences. Funny, outlandish, and completely iconic, the Addams Family redefines what it means to be a good neighbor.
What: Don’t miss the first animated comedy about the kookiest family on the block, The Addams Family this Halloween!
When: October 31, 2019 onwards.
Where: All major movie theaters including GSC, TGV, MBO across the nation.

Reporter Without Borders
OPC Letter to NYC Mayor Bloomberg
The Hon. Michael Bloomberg
Mayor of New York
New York NY 10013
Dear Mr. Mayor:
The Overseas Press Club of America, based in New York, deplores the attempt by your police to prevent the press, as well as legal observers, from witnessing the removal of demonstrators from Zuccotti Park on Tuesday morning, as well as the arrests and mistreatment of reporters who tried to approach the park. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Without Borders, at least six journalists were arrested, some of them despite showing press passes issued by the NYPD; two were held for as much as four hours. Several others said they had been forcefully ejected from the park. One of them was seen being choke-held by an officer.
While we do not question the need to clear Zuccotti Park, we do question your policy of keeping the press at a distance. The police had been instructed in advance to keep the press away, and you yourself said the media were banned “to prevent a situation from getting worse and to protect members of the press.” Mr. Mayor, that is a protection journalists neither seek nor welcome.
As one who has often defended the freedom of the press – indeed, who has benefited enormously from that freedom – you surely see the need to allow the press to witness actions such as the clearing of Zuccotti Park. It was an event of major public concern, and the citizens of New York have a right to know how their police officers behave toward demonstrators who have been overwhelmingly peaceful, however noisy, persistent and disobedient of the statutes. By extension, your government has no right to bar access to journalists, who serve as the eyes and ears of the public on such occasions.
The OPC has been defending the rights of journalists around the world for seven decades, but it is seldom that we have to do so within the United States. We regret that we are compelled to write this letter to the generally beneficent mayor of a city that is a beacon of freedom.
Very truly yours,
Freedom of the Press Committee

Police Commissioner of the City of New York

Drive Front-End Revenue.
Widen the College Enrollment Funnel and Improve Yield with an Agile Approach.
College enrollment growth across the country is on a steady decline. Established institutions now struggle to stand out in a fiercely competitive, resource-challenged market, and face unprecedented pressure over declining revenue. Old and fragmented marketing and enrollment services such as direct mail list-buying and lead aggregation can no longer be relied upon to drive new enrollment goals. Even “new school” digital marketing strategies are not sufficient without a fully integrated, data-driven process.
At Collegis Education, we help institutions buck the market trend and generate new enrollment revenue by optimizing performance through a conversion-based approach to marketing channel management and enrollment services. Our agileINTEL process combines data insights with your value proposition to generate a spectrum of highly relevant touch points throughout the enrollment funnel. We apply a continuous test-and-measure approach to channels and messaging to produce maximum yield for your marketing spend.
Our approach is driving new college enrollment growth under current market conditions. Is yours?

Schnitzel and Music?
Is there somehow a connection?
Dining on delicious schnitzel in Austria or Germany, myMEGusta hardly thinks about Italian food or tunes.
For example, a “must” in Vienna is a meal of wiener schnitzel, the Viennese version of this treat, best found at Plachutta, an upscale chain, her favorite unit being Gasthaus zur Opera, which claims to be “home “ of the “original”. Ad hype aside, it’s simply delicious, a slice of pounded veal, encased in ethereally light breading and fried to a crisp, and feels like the taste of Vienna.
Check out their website to see how it’s done:
Moving along the Danube to Munich, myMEGusta recently enjoyed schnitzel again at Andy’s Krablergarten, a low key, cozy restaurant, where there is a whole schnitzel menu, with different meats (pork or turkey), different marinades and the choice or to-bread or not-to-bread.
That evening, her schnitzel choice was the Bayerischesschnitzel, the traditional style of Bavaria, wafer thin pork marinated in horseradish and sweet mustard, then encased in a crispy crust. The flavor combination was fantastic, savory and crunchy.
The word, schnitzel, evolved from the old German word for cut, “schniz”, with the diminutive “le” for “little”. “Wiener” simply means “Vienna”. (Why Wiener and Frankfurter refer to the same sausage, aka hot dog, is a subject for another day.)
The concept of schnitzel preparation originated in Italy, where it’s called “milanesa”. Think of all the variations like veal (chicken, eggplant) parmesan, the fried fillet finished in a casserole with tomato sauce and cheeses, and the classic Veal Milanese (the same thing as a Wiener Schnitzel).
And here comes the connection with a well known tune, the Radetzky March, traditionally played by the Vienna Philharmonic during their New Years Day concert at the Musikvarein. This is the march during which the audience claps along.
This song by Johann Strauss, The Waltz King, is named for the famous 19th century Austrian Field Marshall Joseph Radetzky who was famous for his exploits in Italy. It was this gentleman who brought the concept of “Milanese” veal to Vienna in 1857. The dish became a craze, and took on a life of its own as the little cutlet from Vienna.
Postscript for travelers to Vienna: Hotel Pension Susanne, across the street from Plachutta Gasthaus zur Oper, is myMEGusta’s “perfectly adequate hotel” choice for accommodations when she’s not staying at a ritzier place on points. http://www.pension-suzanne.at/index.en.php
As Austrian I have no comment because your story is absolutely correct. Just as a little addition over the years non breaded version of Schnitzel have evolved named after the sauce or garnish that come along. Right now I am thinking about Paprika Schnitzel, Jaegerschnitzel (mushrooms and tomatoes), Zigeunerschnitzel – Gypsy Schnitzel – no longer politically correct made with some hot peppers and finally Rahmschnitzel made with cream sauce. Unfortunately veal has become incredibly expensive and pork or turkey took its place.

Filling tax returns: 6 things to do before March 31
There are two weeks left to file income tax returns for the past financial year. The deadline is March 31. For most categories of taxpayers, there are a variety of tax-saving schemes. For example, did you know you could claim additional tax benefits if you bought your first home in 2016-17? Here are a few options you could still use to claim deductions.
Public Provident Fund eligible for tax deductions under Section 80C
Several investment tools can help you save on taxes, like the Public Provident Fund (PPF). PPFs have a maximum investment limit of Rs. 1,50,000 and are eligible for tax deduction under Section 80C. This is available for both salaried and non-salaried residents with a lock-in period of 15 years, extendable by another five years. Currently, the annual interest rate is 7.6%.
Tax-saving fixed deposits
These are like regular fixed deposits (FDs), but come with a lock-in period of five years. Investments of up to Rs. 1,50,000 are eligible for deductions under Section 80C. Interest offered by different banks range between 6.5-8.7%. Returns are assured but interest is taxable.
Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS)
With ELSS, you can claim a deduction of up to Rs. 1.5L under Section 80C. In contrast to PPF, NSC and tax-saving FDs, the lock-in period here is just three years, but returns are subject to market risks. However, it has given returns as high as 15% in recent times. For last-minute investments, lump-sum payment is preferable than instalments through SIP.
Schemes tailored for different groups
Then there are schemes tailored for specific groups. Those planning for retirement can go for the National Pension Scheme (NPS), which brings additional tax deductions of Rs. 50,000. Salaried individuals can invest in the Employee Provident Fund (EPF). Parents of girls aged below 10 can open a Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) account, again eligible for deductions. The current annual interest is 8.1%.
Health and life insurance
You can invest in life and health insurance to save tax as well as ensure a secure future for yourself. Buying life insurance term policy online instead of offline will save you money and complete the process faster. Deduction is capped at Rs. 1,50,000. Under health insurance, you can get deductions of up to Rs. 30,000 depending on age. However, none provides investment benefits.
Home and education loans
You can get tax benefits on loans too. The principal component of home loan EMIs is eligible for deductions under Section 80C, and interest component under Section 24. Additionally, a first-time home-buyer in 2016-17 can get extra benefits of Rs. 50,000. You can also claim deductions for interest paid on education loans. There's no upper limit of deduction, but interest rate is very high.

‘Stretch’ is the theme of the Dutch Design Week 2017, as was announced yesterday. At the same time, ticket sales have started and part of the program is online. By choosing ‘Stretch’ as the theme, the Dutch Design Foundation aims to encourage both participants and the general public to get involved and dare to break out of their comfort zone.
Martijn Paulen, the director of the Dutch Design Foundation, explains: “Today’s world is complex and poses enormous challenges. Designers have revolutionary ideas and innovative solutions for the future. Sometimes inspiring, sometimes confrontational. In this sense, Dutch design is yoga for the brain. Stretching exercises for people who don’t want to get stuck in their ways.”
The organization expects 2500 participants to attend this year, presenting work and concepts in more than 100 locations throughout the city. Highlights include the Graduation Show of Design Academy Eindhoven, the award of the annual Dutch Design Awards and Dutch Invertuals. In addition, this year will include exhibitions in the Van Abbemuseum, De Kazerne and the Klokgebouw. The full program will be unveiled in September. The 16th Dutch Design Week takes place from Saturday 21 until Sunday 29 October in Eindhoven.

Police have arrested the husband of a 64-year-old woman who died Monday, almost a week after being injured in an accident involving the vehicle her husband was driving.
The husband, 64, was arrested at Owen Roberts Airport on Tuesday, 17 May, on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
He was the driver of a Suzuki Liana that collided with a black Chevrolet Colorado on Jubilee Lane, off Batabano Road, West Bay, around 9.45pm on Tuesday, 10 May.
The 23-year-old local man who was driving the Chevrolet was not injured in the crash.
The husband sustained a cut to his shin, as did a 58-year-old male passenger who was in the back seat of the Suzuki.
The driver’s wife, who was a passenger in the front seat, was taken to the Cayman Islands Hospital after complaining of head and back pain and admitted for observation. Hospital staff informed the police Monday that the woman had died.
The couple had been visiting Cayman from Ohio, US.
Anyone who was in the area and witnessed the crash is asked to contact Inspector Adrian Barnett of the RCIPS Traffic Management Department on 946-6254.

Dreaming of their special day since way back when...
Practicing their speeches again and again...
Brides Versus Best Men!
I've had today's Battle planned for quite some time now; it was, in part, inspired by my brother getting married last year-not that his Best Man was anything like the one on today's poster!
Funnily enough, someone made a suggestion for a Battle the other day, which would make for a nice follow-up to today's-I think that will be the first time a Battle has directly continued into another. More on that next week!
Today's Comic Strip is based on IP1 Magazine's Battle suggestion, Foppish Dandies Versus Gangsta Rappers. I had a fair few ideas for the comic strip & in the end, I decided to riff on a game me & some friends played on Facebook a while back; basically we translated popular rap & rock songs into more politically correct English & the results at times proved pretty funny. Here are a selection of some of the 'translations'-see if you can figure out the original songs;
'If your lady is acting in an inappropriate manner, well, I sympathise for you, my boy...however, I have a vast number of problems that require my attention, and my lady acting atrociously is not one of them...'
'Please take a hand to my lady companion. Ad nauseum.'
'Locomote thyself Madame! Preferably in a direction that extricates you from continuing to impede my journey toward my chosen destination!'

KUNASHIR, July 3 (Itar-Tass) —— Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has arrived in the Southern Kuril island of Kunashir. The premier's plane landed at Mendeleyevo airport.
It is the second visit by Medvedev to Kunashir. In November 2010, Medvedev, who was Russian president at the time, arrived in the Southern Kuriles for the first visit by a Russian leader to the islands. When returning from Vietnam, where he participated in the Russian-ASEAN summit, the head of state made a stopover in Kunashir for almost four hours. Medvedev then said he would visit the remote Russian islands again.

[p. 921] who is engaged in the hardware line at New Wilmington, in partnership with his son, John Wright, Jr., is one of the conservative business men of the place and is also an honored veteran of the Civil War. Mr. Wright was born in England December 30, 1842, and is a son of George and Anna (Smith) Wright.
John Wright remained in his native land until he was twelve years of age, when he came to America and joined his older brother, E. S. Wright, of Pittsburg, Pa., who was then filling the office of warden of the Western Penitentiary. With this brother he made his home until 1863, when he enlisted for service in the Civil War, entering Company F, Seventeenth Regiment, United States Infantry. After serving one year he was discharged on account of sickness. As soon as he recovered, Mr. Wright re-enlisted, entering Battery H, Pennsylvania Light Artillery, in which he served faithfully until the close of the war, his whole service covering a period of two years and four months. He is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic.
When his military life ended he came to Pittsburg, but shortly afterward went into business at Sharon, Pa., with Frank Davis, in a general mercantile business. The firm name was Davis & Wright, and business was continued for about five years before any change was made, Mr. Wright subsequently continuing in the same line for twenty-three years more. From Sharon, in February, 1894, Mr. Wright came to New Wilmington and bought the property lying across the street from his present store and continued in business there until 1907, when he went into partnership with his son, who had started the hardware business in 1903. Mr. Wright sold his former property for $10,000, and his stock for $3,000, his investment having been judiciously made.
Mr. Wright was married (first) at Sharon, to Alfretta Watson, who died in that place. He was married, secondly, to Eliza Maikle, of Trumbull County, Ohio. There were six children born to his first union and seven to his second, as follows: Samuel Watson, deceased; Fannie, widow of John Mealy; George, deceased; Alfretta, wife of William Porter, of Pullman, Wash.; John, his father's partner; Frank, principal of the Uniontown High School; Florence, a teacher at Zelienople, Pa.; Alfred E., a student at Westminster College; Leland and Mary, at home; Thomas, a student at the State College, Pullman, Wash.; Jennie and Edward. Mr. Wright takes a moderate interest in politics and is serving as a member of the New Wilmington school board. He belongs to the organization known as the Protected Home Circle.

It’s no surprise that American weather models have struggled in comparison with the European weather model ECMWF. The American large scale model, the GFS, received an update to it’s formulas last year, bringing closer to the caliber of the ECMWF. However, the ECMWF is scheduled for another update in the coming months, which will likely add to the models dominating history.
The United States Air Force used their own model over the past several decades, but is now dropping the usage of it for the U.K. weather model, the UKMET. Is it embarrassing that our Air Force has to use another countries weather model? Absolutely not. This is a classic case of working smarter, not harder. The Air Force will be able to save $1.9 million dollars a year by cutting their weather model out of the picture along with an increase in forecasting accuracy.
The Capital Weather Gang from the Washington Post has a full length article that gives all the details. Here is a quick excerpt from the article.
“The U.K. model selected by the Air Force, known as the Unified Model of the United Kingdom Met Office, is widely respected. The Air Force says it will improve its forecast capabilities and lower its costs. Within a single framework, this model is able to provide both short- and longer-range forecasts over large and small areas — which is not a seamless operation within the current U.S. system.”
I for one am glad to see the Air Force acknowledging a weak spot and taking care of the issue.

Bristol City are the first team to visit Coventry City’s new ‘home’ ground on Sunday when the Sky Blues play their first home game of the season.
There may not be a very good crowd at Northampton’s Sixfield’s Stadium as a lot of Coventry fans are simply boycotting the games. And who could blame them? They are getting the rough end of the deal from people who don’t seem to care very much about the paying public which every club needs to survive.
But putting Coventry’s problems to one side for a moment, (and we do wish the fan’s well), the Robins will be looking to go into this game with a realistic chance of making it two wins on the bounce after beating Gillingham at home in the Capital One cup last time out.
Sean O’Driscoll: ‘Playing on a Sunday will be strange. It’s another day and players will sit and look at all the other results.
‘It’s going to be a bit of a circus for a club as prestigious as Coventry, with them playing miles away at Northampton.
‘But whether we play in Coventry or Northampton, it’s just an away game and we’ve got to treat it like that.’
Coventry Team News:
Midfielder Carl Baker will miss this game as he starts a three match ban for picking up a red card in the defeat against Leyton Orient in the Capital One cup on Tuesday. Adam Barton is a likely replacement.
New signing Mathieu Manset could make his debut in this game; he arrived on Wednesday after Coventry had a transfer embargo lifted, although they will still be watched closely.
Player to watch: Franck Moussa
Made a good early start to the season for Coventry with two goals in two games.
Robins Team News:
Sean O’Driscoll has no fresh injury worries to contend with.
Louis Carey is still troubled by a dead leg while Albert Adomah was sold to Middlesbrough this week.
Player to watch: Jay Emmanuel-Thomas
Looks every bit as if he is going to be a big star for City. Very dangerous player

Offshore banking in Panama is a kind of gold standard for offshore banking in general. The system of relations, laws, values, and traditions of this country makes Panama very attractive to business people from different countries.
But what makes Panama one of the best offshore accounts countries? In this country, the concept of banking secrecy is taken extremely seriously, and the terms of cooperation are maximally optimized for the client.
Offshore industry experts from International Wealth told us about all the benefits of Panama for opening offshore bank accounts.
Why choose Panama for offshore banking services?
Offshore banking in Panama received a second wind with the beginning of the deoffshorization era. It turned out that the package of services does not differ much from similar offers of Swiss banks with a similar level of reliability, while bank fees are significantly lower. In addition, internal rules for working with new clients are softer, and the general level of comfort is pretty high.
Panama is indeed one of the best options for offshore banking. Among its advantages are:
- High reputation status of Panama.
- Stability of the financial system.
- The conservative policy of Panama’s banks guarantees the absence of abrupt and unmotivated changes.
- A strong, diversified, and promising economy (think of the Panama Canal connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean).
- Sufficient level of security. The economy of Panama is one of the most stable in the region.
- Good main macroeconomic indicators, as for a developing country (a typical example is a low ratio of external debt to GDP).
- Stability of sources of budget revenues – operation of the Panama Canal, banking / financial sector, insurance, registration of ships under the flag of Panama, tourism. They do not depend on the presence or absence of minerals, so they are little affected by price fluctuations in world markets.
- The use of the US dollar as the national currency (simultaneously with PAB, rigidly pegged to the USD).
- Well-thought-out policy of the financial regulator (National Bank of Panama).
- A large selection of banks, which creates competition in the financial sector and contributes to the expansion of the list of services and the growth of their quality.
How to open an offshore bank account in Panama?
Usually, choosing a specific bank is recommended as a first step, but this strategy is not entirely correct. After all, even a personal account, not to mention a corporate one, can be opened for several purposes, and each of them requires its own individual approach and set of services.
Wealth International experts strongly recommend that you treat the preliminary stage thoughtfully – only in this way will your offshore bank account fully meet all your requirements.
Recommended order of steps:
- Determine your personal offshore banking strategy. Here you should take into account the purpose of opening an account, your financial capabilities (present and expected), and requirements for the general list of services. You must calculate all the details before taking any specific steps.
- Find suitable banks. At this stage, you should not choose a specific financial institution – first, identify those banks that, in principle, meet your requirements and are guaranteed to ensure the implementation of your personal offshore banking strategy.
- Find your bank. If several financial institutions fall under your conditions, then you will have to choose a specific bank in the face of limited information to make a decision. Look at the reviews of other customers, check the latest ratings, and explore the corporate website. The bank has to confirm its readiness to open an account for you based on the existing conditions (citizenship, residence status, asset structure, and expected activity on the account). As a result, you should have only one candidate and 2-3 alternate options.
- Determine the strategy for opening an offshore account in Panama. At this stage, you should take into account, among other things, purely practical aspects – the need for a personal visit to Panama and the organizational requirements of the bank itself. Make sure that you have free time (for a personal visit to the bank), a clear understanding of all stages of opening an account remotely (if you chose this option), or your intermediary is ready to complete the task (if you want to outsource the chores).
Common mistakes when opening an offshore bank account in Panama
If you use experienced professionals to represent your interests, these mistakes will not affect you. But if you are planning to act on your own (not the most correct strategy), information about potential pitfalls will be extremely useful.
The most common mistakes are:
- Incomplete, erroneous, or outdated information. Offshore banking in Panama is less demanding than European or Asian, but this does not mean that you will be opened an account in violation of the regulations. Panama is a solid offshore jurisdiction, and no one has canceled compliance in local banks. If there are problems with the documents, at best, the account opening procedure will be delayed, at worst, you will be denied.
- Inconsistency between the declared account profile and actual usage. One of the most popular mistakes is using a personal account for doing business or using a business account for personal financial transactions. If the bank detects signs of such a combination, you will have big problems with financial services up to blocking/freezing the account.
- Additional fees. Cashing out money at an ATM is not always a free service, as well as preparing a bank statement, transferring money to an account in another bank, or even paying utility bills. Make sure that you clearly understand the cost of customer service in the selected bank.
- Minimum account balance requirements. Some banks impose conditions on the balance at the end of the month, and if it turns out to be lower, the account may be frozen or closed. If this moment does not bother you, then there is no problem, but you must understand the terms of service before submitting documents for opening an offshore account in Panama.

Batman Black & White: An Innocent Guy
DC Comics (posted to comiXology June, 2010)
WRITER/ARTIST: Brian Bolland
This short story (see my previous review of a story from this series, a bunch more got released for free on comiXology recently) focuses on a man using an old camcorder to tape his plan to kill Batman for no other reason than to see if he really wants to be good or evil. His thought is that he does one act of evil to prove to himself that he isn’t, as the title says, an innocent guy just because of the law or avoiding hell. We don’t see if he actually attempts it but at least he isn’t going to do the crime he planned to a little girl (nothing sexual though given what he was considering you’ll have to judge if it’s worse).
My personal thoughts were I didn’t enjoy the story. The man’s motivations are different than a usual Batman villain but it’s no less disturbing what’s going through his head. He somehow believes that he needs his evil act to be real evil and real big, even admitting he’d miss Batman when he’s dead but still considering going through with it. I would have rather seen it end with him rethinking it, realizing his own conscience was what was keeping him from killing Batman, or the Pope, or leaving a little girl to die in a sewer. Instead it ends with him saying he’d just go about his life. Again, this is my personal thoughts, I wasn’t a fan at all.
From a critical perspective however the story is brilliant. It’s just a short tale of a guy plotting to kill someone big just to see if he’s truly choosing of his own free will to be a good guy. The artwork is fantastic. Whatever my personal distaste is with the story as a critic I wouldn’t talk someone out of reading this one unless I know they’d have the same problem with it. On it’s own merits it really is a good story and otherwise worth checking out if you have the chance.
