"For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." I was young and happy and did not know sorrow and grief, I blinked my eyes and then I saw that I had lived a lifetime. Now that it is over, it feels like a dream, but when I think back over the things I put up with to survive, I truly do not know how I made to this point.
They really loved me there, I had no idea, seriously. When I got to work, they had a cake for me and for whoever wanted to partake and wish me well. They took pictures which I'm sure will be posted on the bulletin board. At lunch time
they surprised me with a huge dinner that every one on my shift had participated in by bringing in a dish. I found out that one lady took yesterday off just to cook most of the food for this. They presented me with a card and some money as well. Finally, I was able to leave two hours early with pay. I managed to keep myself together almost all day, but I teared up a little when I hugged my supervisor goodbye.
I'm not excited. I don't even feel relieved. All I feel is an inexorable drive to make up for lost time. My appreciation has deepened over the years for my musical talent. I want to pick up where I left off in the '70s with 6-8 hour days of practise and composing. Ah well, alone in my room at last, surrounded by my objects/talismans, with the blue lights on and the wind chimes tinkling in front of the fan. And incense. The child David, back in his room again, with his dreams and imaginings floating in the air, ready for playtime again after such a long and mysterious interruption.

While I was playing around with this week’s Mojo Monday sketch I came up with the first part of my card relatively easily. I used an old colour inspiration palette (replacing Pear Pizzazz with Wild Wasabi) and this is what I came up with:
I was really tempted to leave it this way because I found adding the left ‘circle’ bit in the sketch quite hard. I really struggled to find something that fit with what I had. I ended up going with an embossed piece of Early Espresso that I then used an embosslit to make into a flower.
Thanks for looking and I hope you have a wonderful day!

By John Berrigan, Director-General in DG FISMA (Directorate-General for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union), European Commission
It’s becoming a cliché to say that the future of finance is digital. But there is no doubt that the digital transformation of financial services that we have experienced over the last few years has been profound. Technological innovation in finance is far from new. But investment in new technologies has increased substantially in recent years, and the pace of innovation shows little sign of slowing. Customers now routinely interact with their banks using mobile technology, which would have been unthinkable even a few years ago. The COVID-19 pandemic has, of course, accelerated this trend. Technology has much more to offer consumers and businesses, and we should proactively embrace digital transformation while mitigating potential risks.
The future is digital
Two key initiatives in relation to digital finance are open banking and open finance. Open banking is the practice of enabling secure interoperability in the banking industry by allowing third-party payment service providers and other financial-services providers to access banking transactions and other data held by banks and financial institutions. The European Union (EU) has been one of the pioneers in the field of open banking, and the key initiative in driving our approach was the revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2). The PSD2 has been in force for several years and was one of the first regulatory initiatives in the world to open up bank-held account data securely and subject to customer consent.
Open finance builds on our experience of open banking under the PSD2 but significantly expands the frontier beyond banks’ current accounts. Open finance will enable data sharing and third-party access for a wide range of financial sectors and products, in line with data-protection and consumer-protection rules. To borrow the title of a recent article in Forbes, “Open finance is what open banking wants to be when it grows up”!
The primary objective of open finance is to empower users of financial services (consumers and nonfinancial companies) by putting them in charge of who can use their data. It will also foster innovation and ensure better products are available. We recently launched consultations on open finance and data sharing in the financial sector, as well as on the PSD2 review, to gather the views of a broad range of stakeholders. This reflects the Commission’s desire to listen to both users of financial services and the industry itself, and we will use what we learn to shape our approach to open finance.
A safe digital space for users, with a level playing field
Open finance is also part of the Commission’s wider digital strategy. By making rules safer and more digital-friendly for consumers, we aim to boost responsible innovation in the European Union’s (EU’s) financial sector, including for highly innovative digital start-ups, while mitigating potential risks related to investor protection, money laundering and cyber-crime. Data management is also at the heart of our strategy. In keeping with the Commission’s broader data strategy, the objective of our policies is to promote innovative products and services for the benefit of consumers and firms through greater data sharing and reuse. A key condition of the success of our policies is consumer trust: Users must have full control over how their data is shared, in line with the EU’s very high standards on privacy and data protection.
Key recent initiatives under this strategy include the Data Act, the Data Governance Act and the Digital Markets Act, which together form a single set of new rules that will be applicable across the whole EU to create a safer and more open digital space. The main goals of this new set of rules are: (1) to create horizontal principles for business-to-business data sharing in key economic sectors, including finance; (2) to introduce new rules on data governance, which will encourage the interoperability of common European data spaces—including the financial data space; and (3) to establish a level playing field to foster innovation, growth and competitiveness, both in the European Single Market and globally. An open-finance framework would complement this broader framework by establishing specific rules around data sharing and reuse for the financial sector.
The issue of the level playing field is critically important in the context of open finance. We intend to follow two key principles to achieve this objective. The first is that data sharing needs to be enabled in all directions—in this respect, open finance will be able to rely on the level-playing-field principles introduced in the Commission’s data strategy. The second is to ensure that, as far as possible, the prudential treatment of the same activity is equivalent. We are not seeking to protect incumbents or favour start-ups. Both should be able to compete effectively for the benefit of consumers and vibrant markets.
Nothing to fear but fear itself?
The move to open banking was sometimes seen as a zero-sum game, in which incumbent banks would lose out to challenger banks and fintech (financial technology) companies. The reality, however, has been quite a bit more nuanced, and the same will likely be true of open finance.
Incumbent banks still retain a critical role in the payments ecosystem. They are the gatekeepers of their customers’ transaction data, and survey evidence shows that banks typically enjoy high levels of trust from their customers. Initiatives like open banking and open finance may well mean that incumbent banks and other institutions will face greater competition. But it’s worth remembering that new kinds of challengers currently don’t enjoy anything like the level of trust that traditional financial institutions do.
In view of this, there are good grounds for thinking that banks that are proactive in this space can use open banking, and now open finance, to build on their own strengths, thus providing a richer customer experience, improving the services they offer to end-users and perhaps improving their bottom lines.
Open-banking and open-finance policies are often thought of as means of benefiting start-up firms and fintech companies by ensuring that these new players, which have not yet acquired significant customer bases, can obtain the data essential for the development and provision of their services. Fintech companies, we were told, would end up eating the banks’ lunch. But experience with open-banking policies to date shows that banks are among the principal beneficiaries of the push to make bank data more available.
Acquiring new customers or getting them to move their accounts from other providers is complex, time-consuming and expensive for banks, just as it is for customers. But in an open-banking ecosystem (and, eventually, in an open-finance ecosystem), banks no longer need to go through the expense and effort of getting customers to move their accounts to them. Instead, banks can provide services to customers whose accounts are held by other service providers. And customers benefit, too. They can keep their accounts with their existing service providers if they so wish while still being able to access services on those accounts from different service providers of their choosing. This is already happening under open banking. Banks and payment providers no longer provide only access or payment-initiation services on accounts they hold themselves for customers but also on accounts held by other competing service providers. Expanding this to other financial-services products through open finance is the logical next step. It will enhance competition and choice while safeguarding financial stability and investor protection.
Thus, we need to see open banking and open finance as the natural progression of where the digitalization of financial services is taking us. By embracing change, banks and other financial institutions can future-proof themselves, contribute to mutually beneficial financial innovation across the value chain and provide a richer customer experience.

Deubiquitinating enzyme specificity for ubiquitin chain topology profiled by di-ubiquitin activity probes.
Posttranslational modification with ubiquitin (Ub) controls many cellular processes, and aberrant ubiquitination can contribute to cancer, immunopathology, and neurodegeneration. The versatility arises from the ability of Ub to form polymer chains with eight distinct linkages via lysine side chains and the N terminus. In this study, we engineered Di-Ub probes mimicking all eight different poly-Ub linkages and profiled the deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) selectivity for recognizing Di-Ub moietie...Expand abstract

Bulgaria Holds Worthy Place on World Wine Map - Agriculture Minister
ECONOMY - WINE - MINISTER - VISIT
Bulgaria Holds Worthy Place
on World Wine Map -
Vidin, on the Danube, February 14 (BTA) - Bulgaria holds a worthy place on the world wine map and is a preferred wine tourism destination, Agriculture and Food Minister Ivan Ivanov told journalists on Monday. Ivanov was visiting a 150 ha vineyard by the Danube River on St Tryphon's Day, the festival of vine-growing and wine-making.
St Tryphon's Day is celebrated across Bulgaria by vine growers, wine makers and wine lovers. In the vine growing regions, locals held processions and performed the ritual of vine pruning.
In Vidin, the Agriculture Minister said his trip to that part of the country was a sure sign that the region has a potential and the government is indebted to it. Investments in the local vine and wine industry show that the region has a future. Last year alone, Vidin Region received 1.7 million leva from State Fund Agriculture under an operational programme. Ivanov pledged that the government will be a good partner to vine-growers and wine-makers.
The 2022 state budget has 111 million leva for anti-COVID measures, part of which will go to the vine and wine sector. Ivanov said the sector has priority status for the Agriculture Ministry.
As he attended a vine pruning ritual in the southeastern village of Elenovo, Yordan Chorbadjiiski, the President of the National Vine and Wine Chamber (NVWC) told reporters that the government should introduce subsidiaries of at least 300 to 350 leva per 0.1 ha for winegrowers.
Currently, there are subsidies of 15 euro per 0.1 ha but the sector struggles with high electricity prices, he said. The prices of fertilizers, bottles, corks and packaging have increased as well. This will affect the prices of Bulgarian wines, Chorbadjiiski noted.
According to him, the government should introduce urgent measures to support the wine industry, otherwise there will be bankruptcies. The wine sector may even stage protests if no additional subsidiaries are included in the draft state budget between its first and second reading in Parliament, NVWC President Chorbadjiiski stressed. /MY/VE/KK


The main position to remember is that adding a bath around a bath is not similar as adding a bath in an entirely closed cubicle. While showers in offices can provide a regular or strong movement of water to match your personal choice, a shower over a tub shouldn’t be over powerful and massage planes – common in shower cabins – are incompatible with a shower that’s perhaps not completely enclosed.
Appliance showers are the most typical kind of bath found in a shower bath: you’ve a lever to alter the flow of water from your bath taps to your shower mind, according to everything you require. Although older designs needed you to mix the water to the right temperature your self, by adjusting the flow from the hot and cold sinks, it’s more common for a modern appliance choisir douche économe system to really have a single temperature get a handle on lever.
You could choose an electric shower. These have the main advantage of being driven individually from the house’s warm water boiler, so you will be able to really have a warm shower even though your boiler is malfunctioning, and they may be mounted in nay house, whatever the kind of main heat or warm water process that is in place. They offer quick warm water, which is convenient; nevertheless, if your home has a warm water container an electrical shower might not be for you: while your electrical shower warms a way to obtain water for your morning ablutions, your split heated water process is heat and saving a reservoir high in heated water which could entirely go to waste.
The main thing to take into account when getting any bath is the height, position, and movement power of the water when the bath is in use. If you are very large, it’s possible that fine apply could find its way over the top of one’s bath screen in to the bathroom. Bath monitors do vary high (although you might have to look around for a high one), so try to have one which matches the heights of the highest members of one’s household.
If the bath is defectively straight so your force of the water presses against the gaps where the screen matches the bath or meets the wall, you may find that you’ll get some water leakage. This can be a problem that is likely to own more to do with the height of the bath in relation to anyone utilizing it, and with their preference regarding where the water jet is angled. Should you discover that the shower water is dripping onto the floor, decide to try transforming the direction of the water once you bath, and check for gaps between the tub and shower.
Ultimately, if the plane of water is quite powerful, you are prone to end up with water more or less every-where, and certainly merely a downhill flow of water is going to be suitable for a shower bath agreement: as I mentioned earlier, human body planes will only create a mess.
A full tub monitor, detailed with moving home, is actually a great way of protecting your bathroom floor from the usually expected splashes, but it is rather an obtrusive look. As many individuals select a shower bath rather than shower and split shower box, we should believe that the bathrooms into which a shower tub is apt to be mounted are somewhat small. Avoiding a splash option which appears major and cumbersome, thus, is just about the sensible thing to do generally in most cases. Nonetheless, this really is an option.
Another choice could be the simpler, standard sized bath shower monitor which you will see in domiciles up and down the country. They’re popular as they’re reasonably inexpensive and aren’t also complicated to install. They don’t really search too bulky and they keep nearly all splashes from your shower limited in the shower area. You are able to fold them right back to get into the taps and for easy cleaning, but otherwise they are an omnipresent element of your bathroom decor – so make sure you like usually the one you decide on!

Diametros (58):34-48 (2018)
AbstractThe article is devoted to an analysis of David Hume’s position on God’s benevolence in his Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion. The focal point is the problem of inference and the accompanying arguments concerning the relations between good and evil, as well as the four circumstances in which evil enters the world. In the conclusion, I discuss the hypothesis of moral indifference as Hume’s skeptical voice in the debate on the possibility of inferring the moral attributes of God on the basis of experience.

I decided to give this build a slightly worn and aged look to compliment the box. I stained and sympathetically "aged" the sapele neck and fitted brass frets. The box was lightly sanded, waxed and polished to bring out the colour detail. I made the nut, bridge saddle and the rear mounting bracket for the strings from brass bar. Pickup is an Original Flatpup Classic wound to 8k with a stained/aged wooden surround. Tone/Volume knobs are made from 14mm stained wooden beads embedded with 6mm Gold MOP fretboard dot inlays. The action is set so that I can comfortably play fretted and slide. Tuning is CGC. It produces a pleasant trebly tone when played unplugged.

Slovenian rookie, Luka Doncic has given enough evidence that he is ready to be included among the best in NBA basketball, to the point that he is winning - in his rookie year - a spot for the All-Star Game next February.
In the most recent cut of the votes for the mid-season classic, the 19-year-old Ljubliana-born player ranked second in the Western Conference behind the star LeBron James and ahead of figures like Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant.
The forward has given a new look to the Dallas Mavericks, beyond what his averages of 20.2 points, 5 assists and 6.7 rebounds per game can show, as he has allowed forgetting at times that a historic like Dirk Nowitzki will no longer be full time with the team for the rest of the season.
That will give Doncic more time in the court and more prominence, especially after knowing the injury of the Puerto Rican JJ Barea, sixth man of the team, for the rupture of the Achilles tendon of the right foot.
That talent was recognized by the current NBA champions, the Golden State Warriors, in the most recent clash against the Mavericks. The gunsmith Stephen Curry advised him to continue doing the same as until now.
Kevin Durant also had words of praise for Doncic, indicating that a 19-year-old boy with averages of 20 points, six rebounds, and five assists can now be considered an All-Stars.
Those are numbers speak for themselves, and surely will take him to the All-Star Game next February 17 in Charlotte, and that if nothing happens in the second half of the season, they will give him the Rookie of the Year award.

(Sony Classics) Daniel Auteuil, Juliette Binoche, Maurice Benichou, Annie Girardot, Bernard Le Coq, Walid Afkir, Lester Makedonsky, Daniel Duval, Nathalie Richard, Denis Podalydes, Aissa Maiga, Caroline Baehr. Directed by Michael Haneke.
I have to admit that as a young man, I was abysmally ignorant of French cinema. I tended to look down on it, feeling that it was too cerebral and too pretentious for my tastes. I demeaned critics who had an appreciation for it, sneering that they didn’t like anything that wasn’t subtitled.
Times change and people change with it. I have grown to embrace French films and French culture. I’ve come to appreciate that not every director in France is making movies that require one to think about and puzzle over until one’s head explodes. Some of the most charming comedies I’ve seen recently are French; some of the most intense action movies I’ve seen have also been French. I’ve even seen some terrifying horror movies that are French. In my opinion, French filmmaking is as alive and vibrant today as it has ever been. It has even prompted me to catch up on some things I used to turn away from.
Cache begins with a video, innocently enough, of the front of an innocuous looking house. People come and go down the street, completely oblivious to the fact that they are on camera. However, the occupants of the house are considerably more puzzled. A videotape has been delivered to them of their home, without any note or explanation. Georges Laurent (Auteuil), who hosts a literary round table discussion program on French television, is puzzled. Why would anyone videotape the front of their home? It’s not an architectural gem – far from it. It’s just an ordinary suburban townhouse. His wife Anne (Binoche) finds it unsettling. The videotape itself is unthreatening – it just seems to indicate that somebody is watching them.
Days go by and additional videotapes arrive. They are of different locations, but of the same nature as the first; an unwavering eye on a place that is of some importance to the Laurents. Coming as well are postcards with unsettling drawings, but again no explanation. The police won’t help them because there are no overt threats.
In one of the videos, a streetscape, Georges is able to freeze-frame one image on which he is able to read a street name. Deciding to take action, he follows the path of the video without telling Anne about it. He eventually arrives at an apartment and the person inside is someone he knows – more I will not say about the identity of this person, other than to say he is not likely the author of the videos. In the meantime, the Laurents life goes on with some degree of normalcy; they give dinner parties, they deal with their exasperating son Pierrot (Makedonsky).
Anne eventually finds out about Georges’ investigations, and feels betrayed. Georges is obviously keeping secrets from her, secrets about his past. The videos continue to arrive. She is unable to trust him; he is unable to fully explain what she wants to know. He is emotionally detached, and growing less and less able to remain in touch with his feelings.
This is as unsettling a movie as you are ever going to see. Director Haneke (who won an award at Cannes for his work here) echoes the looks of the video by keeping his camera stationary most of the time, offering an unflinching look at the Laurents and their lives. It is a fascinating insight into the lives of the Parisian upper middle class, showing a home full of books but with the television constantly on. It’s a slice of life with a side of subversive.
Auteuil and Binoche are two of the best actors in France, and they are dependable time after time. They make a believable married couple – on the same page most of the time, but not always. They have their issues, but they also are drawn close together. Auteuil can be frustrating and difficult to read, but he is exceptional here; he’s genuine and real at every turn; nothing about his performance rings false. Binoche is not just a beautiful movie star; she’s a terrific actress. She is not glamorous at all in this role – she’s a housewife, after all – but her chemistry with Auteuil is undeniable.
This is not the kind of thriller that makes you jump out of your seat. It’s more of an undercurrent of tension that grows slowly and organically. You know something is wrong, something is not quite right and it just raises the hair on the back of your neck, but you can’t put your finger on it…and as the movie progresses as things begin to be pieced together, that feeling of unease grows.
I’m deliberately omitting much of the detail about the movie – this is a movie meant to be experienced as a whole without its secrets being spilled. It’s a movie that isn’t always what it seems to be, and those in it aren’t always who they seem to be. There is much delight in the details, and often you can glean information from seemingly unimportant visual clues. This is the kind of movie that is going to appeal to people who like jigsaw puzzles; it very much feels like something that you have to put together for yourself. The best part is that the image it forms won’t be the same for any two people.
WHY RENT THIS: A slice of life of the French upper class intellectuals that has a disturbing edge. The chemistry between the leads is genuine, and they portray a couple that certainly could exist in real life.
WHY RENT SOMETHING ELSE: It’s very subtle and can be infuriating trying to figure out where the movie is going. Certain segments of the DVD-renting audience will find it too much work.
FAMILY VALUES: There is a horrifying scene that happens very suddenly and dramatically that may be too much for youngsters.
TRIVIAL PURSUITS: There is no music whatsoever in the film save for the theme to Georges’ television show.
NOTABLE DVD EXTRAS: A documentary on director Michael Haneke.
FINAL RATING: 8/10

They Actually Do Most Of The Enticing. Another telling signal is when you have quit contacting render plans16 Novembre 2021
and alternatively type delay for the lover doing all jobs. While it’s true that some individuals are more effective at organizing get-togethers than others, Murray states this will be also a telltale signal you never really would see the site like the partnership going anyplace.
Should this be familiar, she states, you might frankly determine whether you and your partner were pleased with the connection as it is,” Murray claims or if you’d become pleased moving forward.
You Have Been Creating Key Chats. You Can’t Prevent Thinking About Your Ex Partner
You should not overlook that strong desire to slip into a cute stranger’s DMs. As Stephanie Moir, MA, CRC, LMHC, an authorized counselor, informs Bustle, this is exactly a kind of emotional unfaithfulness; one which often things to fading interest.
It may be a first try to move ahead, she says, as “you might be searching for a difficult connection to change the connection you’d along with your companion.”
Will you be usually thinking about your ex lover, comparing your present spouse towards ex, or wanting you can get back once again using your ex? If so, Moir claims it’s a definite indication something’s up.
In this situation, it can help to speak with your lover. Enjoyable dates and strong conversations can cure lots of things, so if you’d want to see if the relationship was salvageable, spend back in they and determine whether or not it makes a difference.
You Examine The Link To Other Individuals. You Do Not Think About The Upcoming
Its OK to examine a friend’s partnership for motivation, or even recognize that they look really happy. However shouldn’t feel envious or proportions your situation facing theirs.
“Evaluating their relationship to different relationships is actually a warning sign,” Moir claims. “this may mean your identify anything are lost but are perhaps not ready to conclude products.”
If you were certainly thinking about your spouse, you would posses an eye fixed on the future. You’ll think about trips you may like to just take, flats you may like to are now living in, and just how their union might take a look one, to five, to 10 years down the road. If you hunt toward the long term and do not discover all of them as part of they, it could be far better proceed.
You Almost Never Laugh
While interactions can not be fun and joke-y everyday, it might probably point out insufficient interest should you sit around quietly plus don’t frequently see each other’s business. As difficult as points may have been over the past seasons, fun is a must towards navigating existence today,” therapist Hillary Schoninger, LCSW, says to Bustle. “How much we’re chuckling with one another is a great signal of just how much we love one another.”
You “Cannot Care”
Another top tier sign you destroyed interest? Apathy, Krevalin states.
As soon as mate requires the place you should check-out lunch, you state that you do not care. If they inquire just what motion picture you may like to enjoy, you inform them to put on whatever they need.
Essentially, you’re don’t playing the partnership not-out of frustration or animosity, but because you really aren’t engrossed.
You’re Not As Affectionate
Anything might-be up any time you always hug, cuddle, and hold palms, but all that have totally ended, Trombetti claims. And same is true if you are no longer into becoming physically close with your spouse.
“There is other variables present,” she claims, “nevertheless when that individual is not sparking you anymore, there might be a fall in closeness signaling you’ve got missing interest.”
That You Do Not Walk Out Your Path
Positive, you spend time along with your partner on the way residence from operate, but it is only because you go their own apartment on the road.
You’ve realized that, unless this really is convenient, you won’t want to gather. Therefore’ve undoubtedly dropped the grand motions, like prep their birthday celebration people or getting all of them fun gifts your vacations.
If perhaps you were nevertheless thinking about your spouse, these might be things’d wish to accomplish. You may well be capable turn situations about, particularly if you nevertheless like all of them. But do not hesitate to judge how you feel, including whether this connection is right for you.

Proposed EITC Funding Shift Reveals another Budget Hole
TANF Funding Squeeze Creates a Substantial Budget Challenge
The Department of Children and Families (DCF) budget proposes a very large cut in the portion of funding for the Earned Income Tax Credit that comes from the federal welfare reform block grant, which is known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Specifically, the department’s 2015-17 budget proposes cutting $55.8 million from the TANF funding that gets transferred to the Department of Revenue, which would mean that state General Purpose Revenue (GPR) has to fill the very substantial gap.
Assuming the Walker Administration isn’t planning to cut the EITC, I applaud DCF for wanting to use state funds rather than TANF funds to finance that credit for low-income working families. Unfortunately, the Department of Revenue (DOR) budget proposal doesn’t currently include an increased GPR appropriation for the EITC. Taking both agency proposals together, we have a $55.8 million hole that needs to be filled by state policymakers, and that problem is on top of the other structural budget challenges that have gotten more media attention. [See UPDATE below.]
Wisconsin’s TANF allocation has been frozen since the inception of the block grant almost 20 years ago and has lost 34% of its value in that time. In addition, during the early years of the block grant, states weren’t allowed to use TANF funds to supplant state spending for the EITC. Because of the decline in the real value of the block grant, the use of a large portion of TANF dollars to replace state support for the EITC, and cost increases in some of the other supports for low-income families, DCF is in a severe fiscal bind.
It was for those reasons that the use of TANF funds for the EITC was reduced to an average of a little under $20 million per year from 2007 to 2010; however, Governor Walker’s last two biennial budgets increased that amount to $43.7 million a year, and then to $62.5 million yearly in the current biennium. (Yet despite the fact that the amount of Wisconsin’s TANF allocation being spent for the EITC has increased sharply over the last several years, state lawmakers cut total EITC spending by significantly reducing the size of the credits for families with two or more children.)
The state has managed to use more TANF funding for the EITC in recent years by substantially reducing the appropriations for the Wisconsin Shares child care subsidy program for low-income working parents. Policymakers have achieved those cuts by changing how child care is reimbursed and by freezing rates for most providers since 2006. The combined impact of those changes has greatly reduced the number of providers participating in Wisconsin Shares and is hurting child care quality.
In the coming weeks and months we’ll take a closer look at the DCF budget and the stakes for child care quality and access. For now, we urge state policymakers to support the DCF proposal and restore GPR funds for the EITC to a level much closer to where it was five years ago. Failure to do so could have very damaging consequences for Wisconsin Shares and other TANF-funded assistance for low-income families.
Dec. 2014 UPDATE: Although none of the agency budget requests included the additional $55.8 million GPR that would be needed if the DCF proposal to reduce TANF spending for the EITC is approved, in November when the Dept. of Administration (DOA) put together its summary of all the agency requests, it decided to account for the needed GPR funding. That decision reflects the reality that since the EITC appropriation is a “sum sufficient” amount the requested reduction in TANF funding would necessitate a GPR increase.
Two years ago the DOA summary document did not reflect the need for the additional GPR funds, so I wasn’t expecting it to do so this time. I was pleased to find that I was wrong about that. The fact that their budget summary now reflects the need for the additional $55.8 million GPR does not indicate a commitment by the Walker administration to approve the DCF request; it simply provides a more accurate accounting of the size of the GPR budget hole ($2.2 billion) that would need to be filled if all the agency requests were approved. Kudos to the DOA budget analysts for more accurately sizing up the budget shortfall in the November document than in the comparable document two years ago.


File photo of Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife Dhanashree Verma
Digital content creator Dhanashree Verma posted the same message in her Instagram story as her cricketer husband Yuzvendra Chahal on Thursday, asking fans not to believe rumors about their relationship. Social media is buzzing with messages about the alleged separation of the duo. In an Instagram story, Dhanashree wrote: “A humble request to all of you not to believe in rumors about our relationship. Please put an end to it. Love and light to all.”
The same message was previously posted in a story by her husband Chahal.
The couple is very popular on social media for their roles and posts. They often post videos showing them dancing together.
During the IPL, a video had also gone viral in which Dhanashree taught dance moves to Chahal and his Rajasthan Royals teammate Jos Buttler.
The duo tied the knot in December 2020.
Dhanashree Verma is a Youtuber and dance choreographer and has a wide following on social media.
Chahal on the other hand is one of India’s leading spin bowlers in limited overs cricket and a star player in the IPL.

In comments to the World Cocoa Foundation conference on behalf of Ghana and its west African neighbour Ivory Coast, Joseph Aidoo, chief executive of Ghanaian regulator Cocobod said on Thursday that cocoa and chocolate companies in West Africa were thwarting government attempts to combat farmer poverty.
As a result, their sustainability schemes, which allow companies such as Barry Callebaut and Nestle to charge consumers a premium for chocolate certified as sustainably sourced, could be suspended.

The July 4 holiday took on a special meaning for 487 immigrants and refugees who were sworn in as naturalized U.S. citizens in a Seattle event marked by tears, smiles and much flag-waving. "This used to feel like someone else's holiday. Now it's my holiday, too," said Mario Campos, originally from Mexico City, who now lives on Washington state's Bainbridge Island.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday said it would not consider the appeal of a school district that was found by a lower court to have violated a student's right to free speech. A Vermont seventh-grader was suspended for wearing a shirt calling President George W.

Although he will continue to shape California policy on the state Board of Education, long-time San Diego-area superintendent Ken Noonan retired last week.

The U.S. economy is sending mixed signals, which have puzzled both investors and observers. Recent, well-publicized problems in the housing market and with rising inflation have been offset by strength in the jobs market.

China in space for cooperation, not zero-sum race
by Staff Writers
Beijing (XNA) Jun 16, 2021
China's Shenzhou-12 manned spacecraft with three taikonauts aboard blasted off from northwest China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center Thursday morning, marking another major milestone in the country's space exploration endeavor.
It has been almost five years since China sent its taikonauts into space last time. During the current mission, the Chinese astronauts, the first visitors to the space station core module Tianhe, will spend three months conducting multiple tasks in and out of the cabin.
The vast space is a common wealth for the human race. The Chinese people share with people worldwide both the dream and the right to explore the mysterious universe. China's purpose of space exploration has all along been the peaceful use of what many call the final frontier of humanity. Beijing has never intended to join a zero-sum space race or compete for global space leadership.
From the moon to Mars, from unmanned planet roaming to manned space missions, China goes into the deep space with an open mind as well as steadfast readiness to cooperate with others and to share its achievements.
One tangible proof is that China and the United Nations released in 2019 the first nine international cooperation projects for China's then planned space station. They involve 23 entities from 17 countries in the fields of aerospace medicine, space life sciences and biotechnology, microgravity physics and combustion science, astronomy and other emerging technologies.
In contrast, U.S. lawmakers have set a legal bar for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to cooperate with China. Their narrow-mindedness and selfishness have failed to undermine both the ambition and progress of China's space program.
Shenzhou-12, China's seventh manned space mission so far, is also a comprehensive test of the country's cutting-edge technologies and innovation capabilities.
Thursday's successful launch comes just weeks ahead of the centennial of the Communist Party of China, an occasion reminiscent of the fact that while international cooperation has been a key booster for China's space quest, the spirit of self-reliance and the country's growing overall national strength over the decades have been fundamental for the development of its space enterprise.
The beautiful Chinese names of Shenzhou and Tianhe, which literally mean "the divine vessel" and "harmony of the heavens," crystallize Chinese people's infinite longing for the distant stars and unknown space.
As China is building the new space station as an outpost for humanity's future exploration of the unknown universe, it intends to turn the outer space into a new field for cooperation instead of another battleground for you-win-I-lose competition.

Rocket blasts off carrying first Chinese crew to new space station
Jiuquan, China (AFP) June 17, 2021
The first astronauts for China's new space station blasted off Thursday for the country's longest crewed mission to date, a landmark step in establishing Beijing as a major space power. The trio launched on a Long March-2F rocket for the Tiangong station, where they will spend three months, in a much-anticipated blast-off broadcast live on state TV. Lift-off happened at 9:22 am (0122 GMT) from the Jiuquan launch centre in northwest China's Gobi desert, with the rocket rising in clouds of smoke a ... read more

Jon Corzine, through his spokesman, defended his actions in light of Thursday’s new report on MF Global Holdings, saying he “worked tirelessly and in good faith to turn the business around,” before the company collapsed in October 2011.
The new report, by investigator Louis Freeh, laid the blame for the firm’s collapse at the feat of an aggressive trading strategy led by Mr. Corzine. The report called Mr. Corzine “negligent” and questioned the company’s oversight.
Mr. Corzine’s statement says “there simply is no basis for the suggestion” that he was negligent or breached any of his duties. It calls the entire report “a clear case of Monday Morning Quarterbacking.”
Here’s Corzine’s statement in full:
Thursday the world was treated to another long report detailing the collapse of MF Global in October 2011.
This report was written the famed investigator Louis Freeh, working as the trustee for MF Global Holdings, the parent company of the more-well-known brokerage firm MF Global Inc. Freeh laid the blame at the feet of MF Global’s management, particularly Chairman and CEO Jon Corzine, whose trading in European debt felled the firm during the European debt crisis.
Here’s the 174-page report broken down by the numbers.
The bankruptcy trustee responsible for unwinding MF Global Holdings Ltd. issued a report today that condemned former CEO Jon S. Corzine and his management team for contributing to the firm’s collapse in October 2011.
Many of the report’s findings echo those released last year in a separate report from James Giddens, the bankruptcy trustee responsible for unwinding the firm’s brokerage unit. Both blamed faulty controls, inadequate treasury and risk systems and negligence by top management for the firm’s failure.
Here are some key details from the latest report by Louis J. Freeh:

A year after a collapse of a rival put Jefferies in the cross hairs of Wall Street’s bears, the investment bank has sold itself to conglomerate Leucadia.
Jefferies and CEO Richard Handler were able to avoid a fire sale last year in the wake of MF Global’s collapse, as shares fell at one point below $10. Instead, by waiting the year, it earned $17.66 a share in stock for the sale.
Shares are up 19% to $16.95 in premarket trading Monday.
Here are some key details from the press release confirming the deal this morning.
Where Jefferies falls in the conglomerate: Jefferies, which will be the largest business of Leucadia, will continue to operate as a full-service global investment banking firm in its current form. Jefferies will retain a credit rating that is separate from Leucadia’s. Jefferies’ existing long-term debt will remain outstanding and Jefferies intends to remain an SEC reporting company, regularly filing annual, quarterly, and periodic financial reports.
James Giddens, MF Global’s bankruptcy trustee, issued his report on the firm’s collapse last October this morning. The 275-page report is a stinging rebuke of MF Global’s management.
Giddens said that the firm’s management “seriously underestimated both the speed and extent” of the panic that overtook the securities firm and that he might pursue claims against the company’s former chief executive, Jon S. Corzine.
Julie Steinberg joins the Markets Hub to discuss:
MF Global’s bankruptcy trustee filed a stinging rebuke of the fallen firm and its management this morning.
James W. Giddens says he is considering filing lawsuits against several MF Global executives, including former CEO Jon Corzine to try and recoup the still-missing portions of the estimated $1.6 billion shortfall in customer funds. And he also blasts MF Global’s management for poor oversight and recognition of the problems before the financial firm collapsed.
Management “seriously underestimated both the speed and extent” of the panic that overtook the securities firm in late October, Giddens said, as reported by WSJ colleagues Aaron Lucchetti, Mike Spector and Julie Steinberg this morning.
Here is the full 275-page report.
When Jon Corzine took the reins of MF GLobal in March 2010, he had a simple goal: transform the brokerage firm into an investment bank.
A little more than 18 months later, MF Global had collapsed. The reason? A $6 billion bet Corzine had made on European sovereign bonds.
The outsized bet led to a run on the bank at MF Global. More than $1 billion went missing from MF Global customers’ accounts. Investigators are still trying to get it back and piece together what happened.
Last night Frontline aired a piece titled the “Six Billion Dollar Bet” examining the collapse of MF Global.
The Wall Street Journal’s Aaron Lucchetti, who broke the news about MF Global’s problems, appears in the film and today at 3 p.m., Lucchetti will join the films producers in a live-chat to answer reader questions.

A Republican member of the House Financial Services Committee sent the Justice Department a much anticipated letter asking for the department to turn over its investigation of failed futures firm MF Global Holdings Ltd. to a special independent counsel.
The letter, co-signed by 64 House Republicans and no Democrats, started circulating earlier this month and was sent Monday.
MF Global filed for bankruptcy protection in October. Regulators and prosecutors are investigating a shortfall in customer accounts estimated at about $1.6 billion. Criminal and civil investigators have been looking into the case, but so far have said little about progress.
That has led some Republicans and customers of MF Global to question whether the investigation is being slowed by a desire to show deference to the firm’s former chief executive, Jon S. Corzine. Corzine is a former New Jersey governor and U.S. senator.
The letter by Grimm doesn’t allege that MF Global probes have been compromised by Corzine’s political leanings or contacts in Washington. But it says that a special counsel for the investigation would help in restoring “trust and confidence” in government. A spokesman for the Department of Justice had no immediate comment.

The trustee unwinding the brokerage operations of MF Global Holdings said Thursday that he may pursue claims against former officers and directors of the company, a group that includes former Chief Executive Jon S. Corzine and other top officials.
The trustee, James W. Giddens, said in a statement that he may assert claims for, “among other things, breach of fiduciary duties owed to both [the MF Global Inc. brokerage] and its customers, and violations of the segregation requirements of the Commodity Exchange Act.”
While Giddens spokesman Kent Jarrell said he wouldn’t name names, he added that the list of people against whom claims may be asserted would be anyone listed as an officer or director on MF Global’s most-recent form 10-k filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as “other employees.”
MF Global is back on Capitol Hill.
A hearing that had been scheduled to start at 2 p.m. ET in front of a subcommittee of the House’s Financial Services committee will feature two panels, one with four MF Global executives, another with a J.P. Morgan lawyer. The committee is headed by Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R., Texas).
It is expected that Edith O’Brien, the assistant treasurer at the center of what happened to the missing $1.6 billion after Jon Corzine earlier testimony, will plead the fifth, but still be questioned in the first panel. The Wall Street Journal has reported she’s told people she disagrees with what her former boss said.
To read along with prepared remarks that have been given by the other witnesses, go here to the committee’s website. One can also watch the live feed along with Deal Journal here.
Or just stay right here. Deal Journal, and various colleagues that have been consumed with MF Global news will be filing regular updates of what is likely to be another tense congressional hearing on the brokerage’s collapse.
So right now, there is no hearing. The House is holding several votes which is looking like it might delay the hearing's start.

MANCHESTER — The town’s 10-year long journey to redevelop Broad Street and replace a blighted shopping plaza hit another milestone Tuesday with town leaders’ choice of a developer whose conceptual plan includes housing, offices, a hotel, restaurants and a fitness center.
On the recommendation of the redevelopment agency, the board of directors voted unanimously to enter into a memo of understanding (MOU) with Manchester Parkade I, one of three groups that responded to the town’s request for proposals. The company’s principals are Michael Licamele, owner of a New Milford-based development company, and Harry Freeman, a former economic development leader in Hartford and Windsor.
Licamele said market-rate apartments and condominiums occupy 40-45 percent of development in a conceptual plan for the 23-acre town-owned site, once known as the “dark side” of the Manchester Parkade. The rest of the 500,000- to 1 million-square-foot development is to include office buildings fronting Broad Street and restaurants and a black box theater in an entertainment area near the Parkade Cinemas. The developers also propose a greenway along Bigelow Brook, which skirts the property, and a “microgrid” employing a natural gas generator to power and heat the development.
The MOU will be in effect for four months. The next step is a development agreement between Manchester Parkade I and the town, including a purchase price for the property, a definitive mixed use plan, a timeline to completion and project financing details. The developers, town officials said, plan to employ federal Opportunity Zone legislation, which provides tax incentives to investors.
Licamele said he hoped to sign a development agreement with the town by September. He and Freeman said they would like to begin construction no later than the spring of 2020.
“This is huge for our community,” Mayor Jay Moran said at the directors meeting in Lincoln Center.
Board Minority Leader Cheri Eckbreth, along with board member Sarah Jones, said she was cautiously optimistic, but Eckbreth said she also was concerned about the impact of new housing on town resources and schools. Licamele responded that the housing will be targeted to young people without children and empty nesters.
Town officials and residents have been through many discussions of the now vacant parcel off Broad Street in the last decade. In 2009, voters approved an $8 million bond issue to redevelop the 148-acre Broad Street Redevelopment Area, which includes the town’s 23.2 acres.
Since then, the town has purchased and demolished the decrepit shopping plaza, bought and demolished former automotive businesses (Nichols properties) on the other side of Broad Street, completed a $5 million reconstruction of Broad Street and bought and tore down a vacant restaurant to open a connection between Center Springs Park and the redevelopment area. Along with eventually taking title to the main 23-acre site, the MOU says Manchester Parkade I also seeks to obtain the Nichols properties.
The town had been working toward a mixed use development with consultant and master developer LiveWorkLearnPlay, but that relationship ended last year without even a proposal.
Under his New Milford development company, Licamele also is working to open a wood pellet factory on Apel Place in Manchester, in the spot once occupied by a former livestock feed mill called the “farmers co-op.” He said outside the meeting Tuesday that town planning and economic development director Gary Anderson approached him about the Parkade site while he was working on the other project. Licamele said he was impressed by how much had been done to prepare the Broad Street site, including demolition, environmental assessments and infrastructure improvements.
Directors removed a last legal hurdle Tuesday night with the approval of a $70,000 settlement to the Kocian Law Group, which owns property on the West Middle Turnpike side of the Parkade. The settlement removes a deed restriction that could have have blocked mixed-use development on the site.
Redevelopment agency Chairman Aaron Wlochowski said, “As a lifelong Manchester resident, I believe this to be the best plan to revitalize this area into a destination.”
“We are excited with the concept and their anxiousness to get started,” Wlochowski said of the developers.
