Since our last newsletter…
In May the Mortenson Center hosted 5 IFLA/OCLC fellows for two days. This is a long-standing partnership between OCLC and the Mortenson Center who have agreed to work together on hosting international visitors.
2014 Associates Program
16 librarians from 11 countries participated in the 2014 Mortenson Associates program. They were joined by 8 READ Global staff from India, Nepal, and Bhutan who also participated in the Illinois State Library's Small Public Library Management Institute designed for rural librarians and experienced customized programming at the Center. The Associates program focused on "Imagine, Question, Connect," designed for library innovators and decision-makers. The entire group was invited by the Chicago Public Library and the Urban Libraries Council to participate in the first US-based Next Library conference in Chicago, where they had the opportunity to meet Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel.
As always, the Mortenson Center is grateful to the UIUC and local library colleagues who help deliver the training for the Mortenson Center programs. In 2014, over 44 colleagues agreed to offer sessions; they include Linda Smith, Kate McDowell, Barry Pittendrigh, Julia Bello Bravo, Joe Lenkart, Laila Moustafa, Steve Witt, Sarah Williams, Sarah Christiensen, Ann Craig and incredible staff at the Illinois State Library, Alice Cisna, Madhu Viswanathan, Deborah Stevenson, Celeste Choate, Jeff Ginger, Vicki Trimble, Frances Harris, Marsha Grove, Meg Edwards, Henry Hebert, Amy Cougill, Mary Laskowski, Beth Sandore, Robert Watson, Sarah Shreeves, Lisa Hinchliffe, Sue Searing, Kathleen Kern, Tom Teper, Jen-Chien Yu, Alan Lanham, Merinda Hensley, Karen Hogenboom, Lynn Wiley, Melinda Miller and Cate Kompare, Anna Maria Watkin, Meghan Hayes Mahoney, and Jim Hahn.
In addition, the Mortenson Center ran its successful Friends program. Colleagues from the university agree to "friend" one of the international librarians and commit to spending time with them. Over 83% of the 2014 Mortenson Associates indicated that the Friend experience was "extremely satisfying." 2014 Friends included Atoma Batoma, Lesley Lee, Gretchen Madsen, Joe Lenkart, Lynne Rudasill, Laila Moustafa, Lisa Hinchliffe, Sue Searing, Kathryn LaBarre, Mary Mallory, Karen Hogenboom, Erin Kerby, Chris D'Arpa, Bill Mischo, Scott Schwartz, Qiang Jin, Greg Knott, David Griffiths, Mara Thacker, Kelly McCusker, Dan Tracy, Steve Witt, and Rand Hartsell.
Ford Retirement
On May 31, the Center saw the departure of Barbara Ford, who retired. Her leadership and energy have guided the Center for more than a decade, and her leaving will impact the Center staff as well as the University Library. She will be missed.
NIT Silchar Argeement
Early in June, the Mortenson Center signed a partnership Memorandum of Understanding with the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Silchar. The University has been developing a partnership with NIT Silchar, which will be formalized in September 2014. Our first activity of the partnership will be a conference and assessment visit to NIT Silchar early in 2015.
IREX invited Susan Schnuer to Namibia for two weeks in July. Rebecca Teasdale, a library consultant, was also a member of the Mortenson team. The purpose of the visit was to work with the Ministry of Libraries and Archive Services (MLAS) to develop a partnership and training program for public libraries. During the visit the Mortenson Center team toured one of the new regional public libraries. MLAS is very interested in working with the Mortenson Center on the development of a leadership training program.
Current and Upcoming
The Mortenson Center's major challenges for the future include the transition to new leadership, funding, and addressing the recommendations in the evaluation report from Arabella Associates.
Paula Kaufman has agreed to serve as Interim Director of the Mortenson Center for up to one year while the University Library carries out a search for the next Director and Mortenson Distinguished Professor. Paula serves on the search committee and she and Susan are engaging in the active recruitment of strong potential candidates.
2014 Distinguished Lecture
Barbara J. Ford will give this year's Mortenson Distinguished Lecture on October 7 th , as part of the Library Research Seminar VI. "Supporting Global Research: Libraries, Access, and Social Responsibility," will explore how international networks of librarians can integrate the global context into research to support knowledge production for a globalizing ere. Much research is inter-disciplinary and cross cultural and is best done with a diverse, knowledgeable, and socially responsible worldview. Librarians can help by building networks that provide access to collections, services, and people for researchers globally despite cultural and linguistic differences. A reception will follow the lecture.
Future Plans
As the first step in our new partnership with NIT Silchar, visit the institution in winter 2015 to assess its relevant needs, participate in the international conference it offers, and develop local capabilities.
The Center has just announced the topic for 2015's Associates Program: Innovative, Engaged, and Responsive Libraries. The program will be held May 28 – June 23, 2015.
For additional information contact Paula Kaufman at email@example.com or Susan Schnuer at email@example.com .

Hi, everyone
I have 2 script here:
First script is using the dialog () function without the search feature.
While second script is using the new window () function with the search feature which is improvement script.
The problem that I face is when I run the first script(the dialog () function) is it able to return the value and can get the bin information after click OK button.
While for the second script, i able to search the product by using word, but the problem is when i click the OK button, it unable to get the product's information.
I not sure what problem cause me unable to capture the product's information.
Does anyone can help me see my script?
Any answer is appreciate.
The deprecated Dialog() function automatically returns a list with assignments for you to unload. The New Window() function also returns a list but by default it includes only an indication of which button was clicked. This behavior is the same as the older Dialog() function.
There are now three ways to unload a dialog box when using New Window(). For details, select Help > Books > Scripting Guide. Then see the explanation of Extract Values from Window starting on page 444. The first method uses the inline message << Return Result. This message causes the window to behave like the old dialog. You should not have to change anything else in your second script.
Thanks @markbailey for reply.
For the second script is the improvement of the first script, so now i need to use the second script to run the program.
You mention I no need change anything in my second script. But how can I capture the information of the product? I no need declare any variable in order to capture the value? Because when i run "aa" in the second script, it return empty.
And i can't find the explanation of extract value from window in scripting book, i using jmp 12 version.
I didn't mean it literally. I meant that your New Window() approach is basically correct. You need to make specific changes (that is, assign result of a function that creates a display box to a variable) so that it behaves like the old Dialog() function (returns a list of assignments to unload).
You did not read the section of the scripting guide that I cited. It shows you exactly what you have to do. Then my explanation will be clear.
Hi, Thanks @markbailey for reply.
Well, i have use the << Return Result in my script, it really behave like the dialog() function, it can extract the products when I run the program.
But I still have face one problem, is there any function that can return a number in the New Window() Function?
How are you unloading the variable aa from the dialog? Also, how are you using this variable aa after the dialog box is dismissed?
The varaible aa that i use is from New Window.
I use the << Return Result to capture the value aa.
You can use a Combo Box in New Window():
Names Default To Here( 1 );
New Window( "Example",
cb = Combo Box(
{"One", "Two", "Three"},
selection = cb << Get Selected();
Print( "Selected: " || selection );
This object is meant for one selection. The List Box() creates an object for zero or more selections. The choice between these two objects depends on the UI design and needs.
This example is based on the explanation cited above from the JMP Scripting Guide. It shows how the New Window() function will behave like the deprecated Dialog() function and return a list of assignments that can be used to obtain the number entered by the user.
win = New Window( "Set a Value",
<<Return Result,
Text Box( "Set this value" ),
var number = Number Edit Box( 42 ),
Button Box( "OK" ),
Button Box( "Cancel" )
Show( win );
If( win["Button"] == -1, Throw( "User cancelled" ) );
Remove From( win );
Eval List( win );
Show( var number );
I had solve the above problem.
Thanks a lot ya

Diane and Family
May the Lord wrap you in his arms during this difficult time. Ted was such sweet person always treated me (Sara) with a smile whenever I saw him. He will be missed.
The Carnes Family.
The Reverend Tedrow William Dingler, age 80, of Mount Vernon, Ohio, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, February 1, 2019 at Knox Community Hospital. He was born on October 21, 1938 in Miami, Florida, the son of Iradell and Gertrude (Tedrow) Dingler. Ted earned his Bachelor's Degree in English from Davidson College in 1959. He later graduated from Union Theological Seminary with a Master's Degree in Biblical Studies in 1962. He pursued doctoral studies at McCormick Theological Seminary.
Ted was a devoted pastor to churches in Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin before retiring in 1994 while serving a church in Edina, Minnesota. Ted was active in the Democratic Party and MTV Arts in Knox County. He enjoyed reading, theater, classical music and was an avid musician. Ted was an active member of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Mount Vernon where he sang in the choir. He was a gifted preacher who supplied pulpits at St. Paul's and Fredericktown Presbyterian Church.
Ted was a gentle man with a kind heart who always found the best in everyone. He adored his family and was the type of man who never met a stranger. He will be dearly missed by his family and numerous friends.
He is survived by his wife Diane (Mishey) Dingler; his children, Laura (Dick) Jensen of West Chester, Ohio, Tim Dingler of Hebron, Kentucky; step daughters, Lauren (Jeff) Heffelfinger of Mount Vernon and Elena Reiss of Seattle, Washington; three grandchildren, Jacob (Emily) Jensen, Justin Jensen and Maggie Dingler; a step granddaughter, Olivia Jane Heffelfinger and a brother, Peter (Elizabeth) Dingler of Miami, Florida.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Friends may call on Friday, February 8, 2019 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at St. Paul's Episcopal Parish house. A celebration of life service will be held on Saturday, February 9, 2019 at 11 am at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 100 E. High Street, Mount Vernon, Ohio 43050.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Paul's Episcopal Church or MTV Arts.

The Carnes Family.
It feels like I always look for Ted when I walk into the public library or go to a MTVArts show. He was such a kind person, and it seemed like he was game for trying almost anything. So many people besides me and my family will miss him, and for a long, long time.
May he be remembered forever for the life of service he gave and the love he showed to all.
With greatest condolences,
Fred Mayville
Dear Diane and Family,
Ted was a dear friend of my late grandfather's, and I always enjoyed hanging out around the reference desk listening to the two of them recount their memories of the past and talk politics. Ted was a gentleman, a scholar, and a fine man- I am glad to have known him, and called him friend. May happy memories comfort you in this time, and the promise of faith.
Ted was such a kind and genuine man-he will be missed!
Diane and family
We are saddened to hear of Teds passing. He was always so kind , and had such a warm welcoming smile. I know he will be missed greatly by all who knew him.
Prayerfully ,

That sounds like a good title for a book – and in fact I'm sure that the many readers of Agatha Christie's wonderful stories will recognise this title. However, in this case, my dear, the title is somewhat retrospective and should have been "A Murder Wasn't Announced" as at the time of the event in question we didn't realise that there had been a premeditated attempt to kill someone. In fact, immediately after the event, we were all certain it was a tragic accident.
However, within a very short period of time it became apparent that "poor Patricia" as she is now invariably referred as, was mown down by one or more persons unknown. Over the past few months no-one has, to my knowledge, been charged with any offence to do with her death and I would have expected that someone would have been charged with manslaughter after all this time. It couldn't be called "death by dangerous driving" as it was done in order to cause the death of an innocent woman and certainly wasn't an accident.
Fortunately Patricia wasn't aware of anything as she died immediately at the scene – which was at the zebra crossing on the road directly in front of my flat. I believe that the sports car used as the lethal weapon hasn't ever been seen since. There wasn't any legitimate reason why Patricia had to die.
Apparently the person behind many of the local crimes thought that she had seen a couple of people talking together; people that you wouldn't have expected to see chatting!! He then thought that if she was questioned about some of the strange events going on here, she may have mentioned seeing them together. To my mind, that is a very tenuous thought, and one that most innocent people wouldn't consider.
Now from what I have learned, Patricia wouldn't have connected any of the dots together. She was happy in her life – helping folk who couldn't manage to visit the shops and being in charge of the flower arranging at the church in the village. She was an elderly woman who loved nothing more than sorting out raffle prizes and coffee mornings etc. She also loved talking to anyone who had a spare five minutes to chat with her. Her latest interest was flower arranging and she had been to a couple of workshops at the library.
It has only recently become clear that our original building manager, Mr. Roach who is serving quite a long sentence at Belmarsh prison – unless he has been transferred elsewhere by now – was quite heavily involved with our resident gentlemen criminals, Gordon and Peter. I had nearly forgotten that they moved here while he was still in charge!!
Now you may remember that Mr. R was another person who seemed to have brown envelopes of cash about his person on regular occasions. I don't have any details about the whys and wherefores, but I understand that Patricia's death was likely to have been undertaken by a professional killer under what is known as a "contract". Why anyone would feel threatened by an elderly woman who wouldn't say "boo to a goose" I don't know, but it appears to be connected and is part of the same ring of criminals. The driver would have been given several photos of Patricia, together with details of her day to day movements around the village. It was well-known that she always popped round to various residents to ask if they needed anything from the shops or pharmacy, or even the library on occasion. She had her own little routine and went out at about the same time every day, and would chat to folk as she meandered around the village. Of course, she sometimes deviated from her route, depending on what she was bringing back with her. She had a very large shopping trolley into which she piled her goodies. She usually only collected a couple of items for each person, but she wouldn't have been able to carry everything in bags. The trolley was invaluable and it had a waterproof cover so nothing got wet.
I understand that someone had followed her from a distance for a couple of days, to make sure that they knew her route. She would normally wear the same coat too. We know that the criminal elements in Albert's family were responsible for the three deaths in this building, and I understand that they have held their hands up to some involvement in the death of Patricia. I think one gang member followed Patricia on foot and another was in touch by phone so that they were sure that everything was going in accordance with their heinous plans. When I have further details I'll obviously pass them on to you, but I feel happier to know that perhaps, as things are being tidied up, life is becoming more straightforward.
Changing the subject completely, the work here is still moving along very slowly – in fact, I would venture to suggest that it has ground to a halt which isn't very helpful. It's been rather windy the past couple of days and it's starting to rattle in the roof space again which is rather annoying.
I had a visit from Mrs. M today who reports that her arm is now feeling a little better, and that she has found that she can stop the itching by using a knitting needle inside her plastered arm. Unfortunately, the first time she tried, the silly woman didn't think it through properly!! She used a dpns from one of her sets – well actually if I think about it, I think it was one of mine – and then let go of it when it slipped inside her plaster!! That necessitated a trip to the hospital for them to change her plaster as it got completely stuck inside. Fortunately the nurse saw the funny side of it and they soon cut the old plaster off and replaced it, with strict instructions not to do it again. At least she didn't lose the needle!
I've seen Georgie this week as well. We both are quite busy at the moment so have to make specific arrangements to see each other, or else we just end up talking in the corridor, which isn't very satisfactory. We are getting ready to send the invitations out at the weekend. We do now have a guest list, which I've been told is definitely IT. No more changes – we are now up to just under 100 folk on the approved list. I've spoken to the hotel where anyone who isn't local will stay, and they have very generously said that they will reserve all the motel rooms for our visitors. It isn't huge place, and it will be good to have everyone in one hotel. They are very reasonably priced, so we decided to pay a deposit for the rooms to show willing. It does make a difference when local businesses know you. It is easier to discuss things with them and they are able to contact us if they want to query anything.
I understand that Giselle and Jane have completely agreed on a menu, and as we had a slight problem with deciding on a wedding cake – Georgie and Billy don't like them – we have decided to have a display of cupcakes which both Jane and Giselle enjoy baking, and the bride and groom enjoy eating!! That's got to be a good result for everyone. Hazel will be looking after the younger members at the party and I've left her to decide what she needs, and told her to let me know when she wants to buy things, or order them online and I'll send her some cash.
I've started to look at some websites which seem to have some lovely outfits suitable for both Georgie and myself. I would be very surprised if we couldn't find something suitable in the next couple of days. I'm sure that we will probably have to send some things back, once we have chosen them. They always look so much better on the models – you know the ones who are usually about 5ft 9ins tall and a size eight!! Oh well, nothing we can do about them. We are the sizes we are, and neither of us have any intentions of going on crash diets for the next two months.
Well the day is running away with me again so I better get a wiggle on if I want to actually do something useful. Oh yes, please remind me to update you about the building site and the Knit and Natter group at the library. If I start talking about them now, then another half hour will have vanished and I may as well forget having any sort of evening meal at all.
I'm expecting several visitors tomorrow which will keep me busy. Right I'm off to investigate my fridge and freezer to give me an idea of what to eat later. Now then, have you any ideas? As Always –

Groups Urge FCC Chairman to Delay Net Neutrality Vote
Note: Please take action to support net neutrality and Title II regulation for the Internet. Join our campaign at Protect Our Internet and participate in upcoming actions.
Update: The FCC promptly responded that it is going forward as planned. The FCC told Ars Technica that: "This is just evidence that supporters of heavy-handed Internet regulations are becoming more desperate by the day as their effort to defeat Chairman Pai's plan to restore Internet freedom has stalled. The vote will proceed as scheduled on December 14."
Popular Resistance Joins Public Knowledge Organized Letter of 40 Organizations Calling for Delay of FCC Vote on Repealing Net Neutrality and Title II Rules
Today, Public Knowledge joined 40 other consumer protection groups, digital divide advocates, and local government agencies — including New York City — in a letter urging Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai to delay the vote on the "Restoring Internet Freedom" Draft Order, which would roll back the agency's net neutrality rules if adopted. Specifically, the groups propose the FCC delay the vote until a pending court case before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit — the en banc review in Federal Trade Commission v. AT&T Mobility — resolves.Groups urge this delay because the Ninth Circuit might decide that the FTC has no jurisdiction over broadband providers. If so, and if the FCC rolls back the net neutrality rules December 14, then neither the FTC nor the FCC will have the authority to regulate broadband providers. Public Knowledge contends that this would leave consumers at the mercy of internet service providers.The letter states:
"Rushing to a vote before the Ninth Circuit resolves this decision cavalierly risks the purported safeguards that you and other supporters of the Draft Order have repeatedly declared will protect consumers from abusive or anti-competitive practices.
"Astoundingly, after committing the entire future of consumer protection from broadband access providers to the FTC, the Draft Order cavalierly dismisses the ongoing litigation that deprived the FTC of any jurisdiction to carry out the job[…] The question that should concern the Commission is whether or not the en banc panel will likewise deprive the FTC of jurisdiction over broadband access providers."
The following can be attributed to Harold Feld, Senior Vice President at Public Knowledge:
"If Chairman Pai and his fellow Republicans truly believe that the FTC will protect consumers, they have a responsibility to wait for the Ninth Circuit to decide if the FTC can actually do the job. Charter has already sought to have NY State's consumer protection lawsuit dismissed based on the FCC's broad preemption of state law in the Draft Order. If the Ninth Circuit affirms the original decision in favor of AT&T, the 'enforceable' commitments of broadband providers will be unenforceable by either the states or the Federal Trade Commission. If that happens, what protections would consumers have left? None. And apparently, the FCC is fine with that."
Public Knowledge is a Washington D.C.- based public interest group working to defend consumer rights in the emerging digital culture. More information is available at http://www.publicknowledge.org

To the editor:
More than 20 years ago, my new friend at our parish would take time to explain the Catholic Church's teachings on pro-life to me. That led to meeting the pro-life prayer warriors outside the Madison Abortion Clinic across from St. Raphael Cathedral in Madison.
We were rejecting the politically correct mantra that promiscuity, contraception, and abortion are good for us. We were praying and witnessing for God's plan for marriage and family.
On Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2018, we thanked God for the 15th Anniversary of the installation of Bishop Robert C. Morlino as fourth bishop of the Diocese of Madison. This event included the Rosary, a Mass celebrated by Bishop Morlino, and a reception following in the school at St. Mary Catholic Church of Pine Bluff. It was well attended by the faithful of the diocese. This event was sponsored by Vigil For Life Madison and Pro-Life Wisconsin.
Bishop Morlino has set a great pro-life example. We thank God for the gift of our Bishop. We thank our dear Bishop for working with God for pro-life.
Thank you to all in the diocese and from around the diocese and the state of Wisconsin who worked with God to make this event possible.
We are humble in our blessings and thankful in our strife. We are the Mystical Body of Christ. I love you all. Please continue working with God for pro-life.
Please sign up with Vigil For Life Madison to pray and witness outside Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin at 3706 Orin Rd., Madison. They commit abortion five days a week. We are there five days a week throughout the year, except during 40 Days For Life, which covers 24 hours a day for 40 days straight. This year it runs September 26 to November 4. Please contact Gwen at 608-393-8545 or email
Thank you and God bless you.

It was great looking at everyone's FB posts and twitter messages about what their valentines did for them. My true love gave me a gorgeous bunch of flowers and breakfast in bed.
And the lovely Harlequin Australia office gave all its authors this beautiful tea cup!
But the thing that me happiest, that made me smile and laugh and even cry a little on the great world wide day of love was the ultimate expression of that – my lovely godson and his wife welcoming their second baby, a gorgeous little girl called Lillian May Nellie Grice.
New Book Covers
Two new covers landed in my inbox this week. Ask me Nicely is my Brazen that's coming out on 3rd March. No, it's not a medical but its set in a vet practice. There are animals inlcuding a foul-mouthed galah and an obese labrador with a tick. It is a little bit…saucy (dirty) but if you're into that kind of thing….
In May I have a crazy/different/new/exciting/scary project coming to fruition. The book is called Limbo. It's still me but with ghosts and a PI and I really love the cover!
Also I'm putting this cover up even though its a couple of months old now because it's a medical and I just adore it. I think it's one of my best medical covers yet!
Puppies and babies. What's not to love?
What's making you happy lately and how did you celebrate Valentine's Day?


text: The US is the biggest supplier of 'major arms' to Saudi Arabia [Evan Vucci/AP] Washington, DC - The US Senate on Thursday delivered another strong rebuke of President Donald Trump's handling of the US relationship with Saudi Arabia, expressing disapproval of the administration's move to bypass Congress to complete eight billion dollars in US weapons sales to the kingdom. The 53-45 vote rejects Trump's claim that "emergency" circumstances require the United States to provide Riyadh more precision-guided bombs because of "Iranian threats". Senator Bob Menendez, a top Democrat leader on foreign affairs, and Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican and political ally of Trump, led the challenge to the Saudi arms sales. "These weapons won't counter Iranian threats. This is all about using them in Yemen," Menendez said in remarks to the Senate on Wednesday. Trump and his advisers used the emergency declaration to bypass a requirement in the Arms Export Control Act that Congress approve such arms sales amid growing opposition by politicians to providing US precision-guided weapons to Saudi Arabia. The planned sale also provides for co-production and manufacture of hi-tech bomb components in Saudi Arabia for the first time. Outrage over Yemen, Khashoggi The vote shows continuing bipartisan political opposition within Congress to the White House's "business as usual with Saudi Arabia" approach. It is unclear if there would be enough votes to overcome a likely Trump veto of the measure should it make it to his desk. Senate Republicans, however, are preparing legislation to impose new parameters on the US-Saudi strategic relationship, including potential financial sanctions on persons involved in the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. 190512140945972 US legislators have grown increasingly uncomfortable with the Saudi-UAE aerial bombing campaign in Yemen that has caused thousands of deaths and a severe cholera outbreak. "What's happening in Yemen is a humanitarian disaster that has been exacerbated by the very weapons we have been giving the Saudis," Menendez said. Outrage in Congress peaked after the former Washington Post columnist Khashoggi was killed in October 2018 in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. The CIA has concluded Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) played a role in the assassination of Khashoggi, who had been critical of Saudi human rights abuses. Saudi officials have rejected that conclusion. In a long-anticipated report released on Wednesday, UN extrajudicial executions investigator Agnes Callamard said Khashoggi's death "constituted an extrajudicial killing for which the State of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is responsible" and said MBS should be investigated. "This report has reignited and even deepened the concern about why this administration seems incapable of holding Saudi Arabia accountable," Menendez said, citing its "horrific details" about a discussion between the killers of how to cut up Khashoggi's body. Trump has declined to apply available US sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Act to the Saudi government for Khashoggi's killing. Since the murder, the administration gave a regulatory green light to US companies to offer the sale of nuclear power technology to Saudi Arabia, despite concerns it could lead to Saudi development of nuclear weapons. Saudi slams UN report on Khashoggi killing as 'unfounded' (5:12) Separately, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently blocked the inclusion of Saudi Arabia on a forthcoming US list of countries that recruit child soldiers, dismissing State Department experts' findings that the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen has been using under-age fighters, Reuters News Agency reported, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter. Trump vetoed a resolution in April that would have withdrawn US military support for the Saudi-UAE war in Yemen. Politicians in Congress were not able to come up with enough votes to override the veto. Tensions with Iran R Clarke Cooper, the State Department's assistant secretary of state for political-military affairs, defended the arms sales in an appearance last week before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, saying the weapons were necessary to reassure US allies in the Gulf faced with Iranian aggression. 190612202018562 Thursday's vote came just hours after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) shot down a US drone. The IRGC said the drone was downed after it flew into Iranian airspace. US officials rejected those claims, saying the drone was in international territory at the time. US President Trump tweeted after the downing of the drone that "Iran made a very big mistake!" When asked by reporters if the US will attack Iran, Trump said, "you'll soon find out", US media reported later on Thursday. As tensions between Iran and the US escalate in the Gulf, Democrats have expressed concern that the US president may launch a military confrontation with Iran without consulting Congress. On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the top Democrat in Congress, said that the US has no appetite to go to war with Iran. Separately on Thursday, the UK court of appeal ruled that British arms sales to Saudi Arabia for use in Yemen were unlawful - a decision campaigners called "historic".

The Claimant's application suffers from a fatal defect, however. At no point prior to the issuance of any of the final orders in the Covered Action did the Claimant qualify as a "whistleblower" in connection with any submission for which Claimant is now seeking an award. The Commission's whistleblower rules provide that, to qualify as a whistleblower for purposes of the Commission's award program, an individual must submit his or her information through the Commission's website, or mail or fax a completed Form TCR to the Commission. See Exchange Act Rule 21F-2(a) & 21F-9(a).
1. This matter concerns Mizuho's failure to maintain and enforce policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent the misuse of material nonpublic customer order information concerning the repurchase of shares by issuers ("customer buyback order information"), in violation of Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. In particular, although Mizuho had established certain policies and procedures to prevent the misuse of material nonpublic information, from approximately December 2012 through December 2014 (the "Relevant Period"), Mizuho failed to maintain and enforce its policies and procedures aimed at preventing Mizuho execution and sales traders from disclosing material nonpublic customer buyback order information internally to other Mizuho traders and externally to customers. These policies and procedures required, among other things, effective information barriers between Mizuho equity trading desks and measures to protect confidential Mizuho customer order information, including the identities of buyback customers that had placed trade orders with Mizuho. Mizuho's failures created a risk that Mizuho execution and sales traders could misuse material nonpublic customer buyback order information, including by disclosing the order information to Mizuho customers.2. As a result of these failures, during the Relevant Period, Mizuho's execution and sales traders received confidential issuer buyback trade information on nearly every day that Mizuho executed buyback trades. Moreover, the head execution trader on Mizuho's U.S. Equity Trading Desk was given direct access to Mizuho's International Trading Desk's order management system, which included buyback purchase trade orders, and he also routinely disseminated such information to traders on his desk.3. In addition, on several occasions, Mizuho execution and sales traders disclosed to certain firm customers nonpublic customer buyback order information. The information often included the order size, the limit price, and key terms that indicated to the recipients that the orders were issuer buyback orders. This trade information was valuable to other market participants, particularly given that the party placing the trade was the issuer. Moreover, many of the issuer buyback orders that Mizuho handled during the Relevant Period comprised a significant portion of the daily trading volume in the stocks being bought back, which increased the potential impact of the buyback orders on the prices of those stocks.
Operator Of Bitcoin Investment Platform Pleads Guilty To Securities Fraud And Obstruction Of Justice (DOJ Press Release)
Jon E. Montroll a/k/a "Ukyo," pled guilty in the United States District Court for the Southern District to one count of securities fraud and one count of obstruction of justice in connection with his issuance and sales of securities related to a bitcoin investment platform, and his false sworn testimony to the SEC. Montroll operated the bitcoin depository and currency exchange service WeExchange Australia, Pty. Ltd.and BitFunder.com platform, which facilitated the purchase and trading of virtual shares. Montroll converted without authorization a portion of WeExchange users' bitcoins to his personal use. Further, he promoted Ukyo Loan as a so-called round-about investment in BitFunder and WeExchange and, at the same time, described Ukyo.Loan as "a personal loan" and "for private investment purposes." During the summer of 2013, hackers exploited a weakness in the BitFunder programming code to cause BitFunder to credit them with unearned profits that resulted in their wrongful withdrawal from WeExchange approximately 6,000 bitcoin. During an ensuing SEC investigation, Montroll provided the SEC with a falsified screenshot purportedly documenting, among other things, the total number of bitcoins available to BitFunder users in the WeExchange Wallet.

For most people, good business means having a great deal of profit rolling inside the doors of their homes or offices. How about you, up to what extents will you do just so you can earn a handsome profit out of your investment? What is the best mode that you will take so as to assure good business for you?
There is what we all know as bank foreclosures of real estate properties. These banks foreclosure procedures are nonetheless legitimate and are supported by the laws. Such act is geared towards the advantages of the creditor. The usual cases of repossession of properties happen when the debtor fails to follow the designated terms in the contract of the mortgage.
Being in the business world, the creditor is bound to push through the stipulated terms on the contract. The banks are very strict in repossessing properties when the debtor fails to meet the requirement regarding the payment scheme. One of the most possible proceedings is the property foreclosure.
Bank foreclosures happen all over the world. In the United States itself, since 2005, there is a 38 percent increase in the bank foreclosure of real estate properties on a yearly account. This is deemed to rise up to 72 percent in the upcoming quarters. To draw things vividly, in a scale of 350 houses, the bank forecloses one property.
The banks in turn need to make profit of the foreclosed properties in their hands. They cannot make money on these foreclosed properties if they will not sell them. Therefore, real estate auctions transpire. These banks are connected with a bunch of real estate agencies which in turn announces the sale of the foreclosed real estate properties.
Real estate auctions are settled in one venue wherein the bidders try to offer the highest prices. The bidder who offered the highest rate will be awarded the property. In reality, real estate auctions sell or dispose the properties in legal way and likewise offer affordable rates.
Real estate auctions are made available in several listings which are all credible and legitimate. The online market provides a comprehensive list of the visual representation of the series of real estate auctions.
The banks know for a fact that there are thousands of people who will want to participate in the real estate auctions in relation to their ultimate dream of escaping the burdensome troubles of renting a place. Most people also see the great advantage of buying a new home through the real estate auctions.
The picture behind the offer of the government to provide the employees with housing loans can in fact be turned into a nightmare especially if the person fails to pay his debt in due time.
As the real estate property gets foreclosed, here come the business-eyed and business-minded personals who are too delighted at the news of real estate auctions. The cycle goes on and on thereby making clear that there are individuals who are made to suffer while there are those who are benefited by real estate auctions.

According to this study, people living in neighborhoods with more birds, shrubs, and trees are less likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and stress. The study conducted at the University of Exeter, involving hundreds of people, found benefits for mental health of being able to see birds, shrubs and trees around the home, whether people lived in urban or more leafy suburban neighborhoods. The study, which surveyed mental health in over 270 people from different ages, incomes and ethnicities, also found that those who spent less time out of doors than usual in the previous week were more likely to report they were anxious or depressed.Share
After conducting extensive surveys of the number of birds in the morning and afternoon in Milton Keynes, Bedford, and Luton, the study found that lower levels of depression, anxiety and stress were associated with the number of birds people could see in the afternoon. The academics studied afternoon bird numbers – which tend to be lower than birds generally seen in the morning – because are more in keeping with the number of birds that people are likely to see in their neighborhood on a daily basis.
In the study, common types of birds including blackbirds, robins, blue tits and crows were seen. But the study did not find a relationship between the species of birds and mental health, but rather the number of birds they could see from their windows, in the garden or in their neighborhood.

NEW YORK (Forex News Now) – Daily Market Overview – The U.S. Dollar turned in a mixed performance against the other major currencies on Monday according to the daily forex news. The Greenback rose against the Euro and the New Zealand and Canadian Dollars, but fell against Sterling, the Yen and the Aussie.
The decline in the Euro seen during yesterday's session was due in part to recurring sovereign debt concerns after Italy auctioned 5 and 30 year bonds for a total of €5.18B at slightly higher yields compared with the previous auction. The market will now look to Wednesday's important auction for €0.75B to €1B of Portuguese Treasury bills and Thursday's auction for Spanish bonds as the main focus for the euro forecast this week.
Also weighing on the Euro, was news that Dusseldorf based WestLB, a major German lender, was having trouble coming up with a restructuring plan to present to the European Commission. Concerns grew that this could jeopardize any plans for expanding the European Financial Stability Facility before April.
February 13-14th Important Economic Developments:
- Japanese GDP Release Beats Consensus – This important economic indicator for the Japanese Yen boosted the currency overall after coming out at -0.3% when the market was expecting a worse decline of -0.5%. Although Yen favorable on balance, this result was worse than the previous month's rise of +0.8% that was revised downward from +0.9%. USDJPY was trading at 83.40 immediately before the number, but then briefly rose to 83.48 before giving back all of its gains as it fell further to find support at 83.18.
- New Zealand Retail Sales Disappoints – Retail Sales in New Zealand fell by a worse than expected -1.1% last month that compared poorly with the market's consensus of a -0.3% drop. To make matters even worse, the prior month's +1.5% rise was toned downward to a more modest +1.2% gain. The Kiwi had peaked at 0.7591 before the release, but soon came off to a low of 0.7542 shortly after it was announced.
- Australian Home Loans – Australian Home Loans showed an impressive increase of 2.1% last month, versus an expected gain of 1.8%. Nevertheless, while better than expected, the release was still below the previous rise of 2.5% seen the previous month. Realtime forex analysis shows that AUDUSD was trading as low as 1.0017 just before this report's release but has since rallied as high as 1.0057 in reaction to this positive news.
- Chinese Trade Balance Narrowed– The Chinese Trade Surplus narrowed significantly last month to only 6.5B compared to the expected 10.5B result. This was also less than the previous month's result of 13.1B that went without revision.
- Eurozone Industrial Production Falls – Industrial production in the Eurozone declined by -0.1% in the last reporting month, right in line with the market's consensus call. Nevertheless, the previous result was revised upward to a +1.4% rise from its former +1.2% gain. EURUSD found some support after this net improvement was released.
February 15th Forex Events for Traders to Watch
- Australian Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes – The RBA's minutes from its February meeting were largely a repeat of previous statements by Governor Glenn Stevens, who stated that policymakers were comfortable with the decision to keep rates at 4.75%. While flooding in Queensland may have a strong impact on the Australian economy, it seems that the RBA does not foresee any changes in monetary policy in the near term.
- BOJ Rate Decision – The BOJ has released its decision to maintain its benchmark Overnight Call Rate at the expected <0.10% level. The Japanese central bank also be released an associated Monetary Policy Statement that helps explain how its latest rate decision was made.
- U.K. CPI and Possible Inflation Letter – This important economic number tends to affect the GBP/USD rate considerably upon its release since the CPI represents an important measure of inflation in the U.K. that has been of particular concern lately. The Consumer Price Index for January is currently expected to increase by +4.0% year on year versus last month's +3.7% result. If the CPI is over 3%, BOE Governor King is required to write an open letter to the U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne explaining what steps are being taken to address the excessive inflation.
- U.S. Retail Sales Numbers – An important indicator of U.S. consumer spending, Retail Sales data measures the change in the total value of sales at the retail level, with the core data excluding the large but volatile automobile sector. Core Retail Sales is currently expected to rise by +0.6% compared with the previous +0.5% increase, while the consensus for Retail Sales is +0.5% versus the former +0.6% result. A higher number usually favorably affects the U.S. Dollar, so a limited risk bet to profit from this result could involve purchasing a USD Call/Euro Put binary forex option.
- German Preliminary GDP and the ZEW Economic Sentiment Survey – These important economic indicators are presently expected to come out at +0.5% and 20.1 respectively, compared with the previous results of +0.7% and 15.4.

Cartoon, Turner South Gain Carriage
Turner Network Sales has closed a number of carriage deals for its networks, including a pact that adds Turner South to DirecTV Inc.'s lineup and an additional commitment from AT&T Broadband for Cartoon Network, officials said last week.
Direct-broadcast satellite provider DirecTV will add regional entertainment network Turner South to its "Total Choice" package for subscribers in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina and parts of North Carolina. The DBS company will identify the Turner South customers in the specified Southern states by using ZIP codes, according to officials.
EchoStar Communications Corp.'s Dish Network also offers Turner South to its DBS customers in the Southeast region, according to Andrew Heller, president of domestic distribution for Turner Broadcasting System Inc.
The addition of DirecTV will give Turner South roughly 4.6 million subscribers, Heller said. Neither he nor DirecTV would specifically detail how many homes Turner South will gain from the DBS launch.
Turner South offers movies and news programs that reflect Southern culture, including original fare such as Live fromthe Bluebird Café and Southern Living Presents. It also airs games involving three Atlanta pro sports teams-Major League Baseball's Braves, the National Basketball Association's Hawks and the National Hockey League's Thrashers.
The service, which launched in October 1999, recently bowed the series Liars and Legends, which examines the people and products that have shaped the South's history.
Cartoon Network, another TBS Inc. service, picks up about 650,000 subscribers through an additional distribution commitment from AT&T. The deal will push the network's subscriber base past 69 million.
AT&T will add Cartoon to nearly 600,000 more homes in New England and another 50,000 homes in Helena, Mont.; Farmington, Neb.; and Edmonds, Wash.
Heller conceded that Cartoon's quest for full distribution-to grow from almost 70 million homes to 80 million and more-is now "down to the nitty gritty.
"The remaining pockets are harder to get," he said. "But when you've got a network that's inching toward No. 1 ratings in primetime, those systems that don't carry it have a lot of consumer pressure to try to find room for it."
Boomerang, Cartoon's retro spin-off, is having a slow go on the carriage front. It now has distribution at 1.5 million subscribers, with the lion's share on DBS. The network, which celebrates its first anniversary April 1, is now available through tiered family packages from DirecTV and Dish Network.
The service, which airs cartoons featuring classic animated characters, also has carriage deals with MSOs such as Cablevision Systems Corp., Charter Communications Inc. and Blue Ridge Communications. That includes some digital carriage on a few systems owned by those MSOs in California and Long Island, N.Y., Heller said.
"We are in discussions, and hope to have a few big cable launches soon," he added.
Three other TBS Inc. networks-Turner Classic Movies, Cable News Network and Turner Network Television-also reached distribution benchmarks.
TCM, the classic movie network, has surpassed the 47 million subscriber milestone. The channel recently gained about 750,000 subscribers through launches by AT&T in Devils Lake, N.D.; Charter in Bay City/Midland, Mich., and Long Beach, Calif.; Comcast Corp. in Detroit and Burlington, N.J.; Cox Communications Inc. in Amarillo and Huntsville, Texas; and Time Warner Cable in Palm Desert, Calif., and Raleigh/Durham, N.C.
CNN and TNT, in turn, are now distributed in more than 80 million domestic households. As such, they are inching up on TBS Superstation, which, at 82.4 million subscribers, is the most widely distributed cable network of all..

This project was the second completed for one of our developers. The design accommodates 6 units while presenting a comfortable scale to the suburban street. A complex steep site allows the upper level units to have a presence at street level, while units on the level below spread out to take advantage of ground floor external areas. Utilising a 2-storey unit assists in increasing the yield over the site. Slight variations in colour and textures across the development mean that there is individuality and identity for the units, while maintaining consistency for the whole project.

I think y'all will recall the pictures I had posted at the end of the buck I'm gonna chase this year--been watching him for about 4 years and estimate him to be at least 6. He's a 220 lb buck easily. These next three pictures are from night before last.

Hellurr…. It's Friday! Hope your week was great! This jumpsuit was one of the things that made my week. I couldn't get enough of it. It made me smile a little, maybe a little more than a little and I hope it does same to you too. Before we continue, tune of the day! I won't apologize for the fact that I'm about to feature another greatest showman tune. The other side is one of my favorite. The choreography in this particular scene plastered a huge smile on my face.
Hellurrr…happy new week! Who has noticed the beret trend for men on the rise recently? I have! At first I felt this accessory is better left for the men in the military but then I've repented of my old ways. Meanwhile, I'm still hung over the greatest showman soundtracks. This one, never enough, will drop your jaw! Like literally. Listen and enjoy! Back to the matter. Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham tried the Parisian accessory and looked dapper with them, in Expendables 2, but then they were in the military! See where
Hellurrrr…. thank God it's Friday! Thank God for this pretty Maxi dress! Thank God for the ability to love oneself. And thank God for the 'epicness' that is the movie 'The Greatest Showman'. Oh my God!! It's no surprise that the song of the day is one of the soundtracks in the movie, titled, this is me. I can't begin to describe what I felt watching that movie. I was blown away by the story, the choreography, the music, the act!! In fact the entire production blew me away! But

A torrential downpour inundated Istanbul, Turkey, and other northwestern cities of the country on Saturday, resulting in the death of at least one person. The torrential downpour produced 110 mm (4.33 inches).
The rain started to fall around noon local time, tapering off around 6 p.m., according to AccuWeather Meteorologist Courtney Travis. The downpour came just a few days after a heat wave that brought temperatures about 4 degrees Celsius (6 to 7 degrees Fahrenheit) above normal. There had been previous flash flood warnings over the past few days, according to the Turkish news outlet Daily Sabah.
Lower and seafront areas of the city reported flash floods, according to the news source. It also reports that the pedestrian underpass in Eminönü Square was filled with flood waters, severely damaging the shops inside.
Videos from euronews show shopkeepers trying to save their merchandise from the nearly waist-deep floodwaters that had filled the Grand Bazaar, a 558-year-old complex. Another video shows torrential river from rain water sweeping through an old town street, tearing a cobblestone up from the road.
According to government officials, the body of a homeless man under the Unkapanı Bridge during draining operations. No other fatalities or injuries have been reported at this time.
Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu tweeted that Istanbul had been receiving rainfall above the seasonal norms as it had for many years. The average amount of rainfall for the month of August is 23.6 millimeters (0.9 of an inch).
The storm also brought cancellations to ferry services and caused the Kabataş-Bağcılar trams to temporarily suspended services due to flooded tracks, according to the Daily Sabah. Services have since resumed.
"The storm that brought the heavy downpours to Istanbul will move away from Turkey, allowing for dry conditions and sunshine for both Sunday and Monday," Travis said.

New painting, The Moonstone
Hello, it's been a long time since I've posted here but I am finally working on some new art! I have been doing a lot of art inspired by gothic novels and movies over the years but at the moment I'm thinking of some specific books and scenes to base some art on (books from pre-1920s, sometimes as old as the 1700s). This is inspired, in a vague sort of way, by Wilkie Collins' "The Moonstone" and by Victorian mysteries in general. Thank you for looking!

The drops of blood were just steaming for a brief moment as they dug themselves in the powdery snow. The flash of coldness in his face numbed the pain and woke him up at the same time and jolted Dorian, that meager little boy from his short passiveness. He jumped back up and Kyle, his older brother was again taking him down landing on top of his chest....
10 years later
....But this time his muscle memory kicked in. He threw up his hips and pushed Kraveks hairy knee at the same time. The young Klingon sitting on Dorians chest huffed and puffed and seconds later the horn sounded and Dorian was the new district champion in Kevora'h, a traditional style of klingon wrestling. "That's it, that was the last one, tomorrow I gotta leave this place and no one will care about my trophys and medals, I will be a face among faces, boring..."
Starfleet years passed by rather quickly, in the beginning he was just in it for the exobiology lectures, you simply can't find better ones anywhere else. The specific starfleet training bothered him, he just reluctantly attended, a fact that became evident rather quickly to his teachers. Also not the most sociable guy he dedicated himself to his two passions, science and martial arts, both made him hang out more with klingons and vulcans than humans. As time passed he became more in more interested in starfleet procedures, intersted more in idealized code and ceremony than in day to day business.
After one synthehol dominated night he gave it a shot and asked for assignment to a ship, he himself was not so sure what happened with him in that night, but suddenly it felt right maybe he just needed a chance to redefine his life and his personality. The U.S.S. Liebig transported him to Deep Space Nine, where he is supposed to embark on the U.S.S. Bremen, but before he still had a whole week ahead of himself, a week he planned on spending in the Holosuites, their klingon battle simulations should be outstandingly brutal and good, and...drinking.

I swear I am not biased, even though I wore this gown to an audition…MIAMAI brings you "Estaria" the rich, baroque, detailed and extraordinaire gown made of shimmery silks, with a sexy bare back and a sculpted and jeweled collar that recalls a precious flower. The gown itself is wide, flowy, layered and absolutely full of life. It comes with a matching headpiece to complete the elegance of the dress. Yet again, I don't know where monica Outlander finds inspiration to create these wonderful things but everytime she does I am wowed each and every single time. Definately, this is a shop where you want to go whether you are looking for a gown for a special occasion or to spice up your casuals! Ooooh don't forget, there's also an array of eyelashes, hair, make up (for 2.0, sorry girls), poses created by the wonderful Mavi Beck and….of course…the Bridal section! Oh oh oh! Almost forgot…there is something for the guys too (which I will blog as soon as I grab my model *cough* and get him in some MIAMAI wardrobe).
the "Estaria" in Gold, Green and Black
last but not least, in Lilac, Wine, Teal and Rose
All hair attachments are from Baiastice (I will link you to them asap)
Now…if this doesn't make you want to gown up and go to a ball…then I don't know what will!

Today we have successfully poured 52 cubic metres of concrete to form the walls, balance tanks and cover lid. As this post goes live, the concrete is curing; resisting the low temperatures with double sided insulation. This stage is a key development within the project and could not be achieved so quickly with alternative pool construction methods.

Moscow, April 11, 2011 -- 11 April 2011 -- Despite pursuing different growth strategies,
the ratings of Mobile TeleSystems OJSC (MTS) and Vimpel-Communications
OJSC (VimpelCom) remain comparable , says Moody's Investors
Service in its new Special Comment on two of Russia's largest telecommunication
service providers.
Moody's notes that MTS has maintained a dominant share of the Russian
mobile communications market through its strategy of acquiring local companies.
In contrast, VimpelCom elected to buy fewer companies early on,
building networks as it integrated the acquisitions before turning its
expansion efforts abroad.
Moody's notes that the VimpelCom-Wind Telecom deal,
which was approved by VimpelCom shareholders on 17 March 2011, will
change VimpelCom's geographic footprint considerably; just
34% of the combined entity's revenue will come from Russia,
compared with nearly 85% under VimpelCom OJSC in 2010.
Moody's views MTS as a more stable credit provided it maintains
its current commitment to developing its existing business. The
rating agency sees more potential for synergies and easier integration
of acquired companies in the approach MTS has taken towards M&A.
However, its Ba2 rating remains on review for downgrade, pending
clarity on the implications of a dispute between one of its subsidiaries
over the purchase of a Kyrgyz telecom operator.
In contrast, given VimpelCom's track record of large bolt-on
acquisitions and alliances, Moody's believes that VimpelCom's
appetite for further geographical diversification, and the accompanying
event risk is at this stage considerably higher than that of MTS.

Different Routes to Growth" is available on www.moodys.com.

You should see some of the prices in London. I think they've started to erroneously believe that vinyl records are intrinsically valuable. Saw first Led Zeppelin album in an Oxfam recently. Cover, OKish, record scratched way beyond the point of unplayability. £10.
In a charity shop?
