ECONOMYNEXT – Sri Lanka'S rupee has fallen with amid two liquidity spikes in 2018 just as the economy started to recover, underlining the need to bring restrains to the central bank ability to generate monetary instability as the country moves into global and domestic uncertainty.
Monetary instability has tended to come faster after the central bank stopped issuing its own securities to mop up inflows a few years ago and started using short term repos instead. Since 2015 monetary instability is coming quick and fast.
Note: This column appeared in the November 2018 issue of Echelon Magazine and was written before a political crisis added to risks.
After the 2015/2016 balance of payments crisis, the rupee was pushed down in 2017 to maintain a real effective exchange rate peg, importing the monetary policy of the worst central banks in the region such as India.
The rupee has collapsed from 131 to 172 in the last three years. Up to September the rupee had collapsed from 152 to 173 by the third week of October, as the central bank switched from a peg to a float with excess liquidity in place as it tried to manipulate rates down. It then undermined a float purchasing dollars was also selling dollars to defend the currency recreating a peg.
The rupee has so far inflated around 29.1 percent against the dollar since the current administration came to power. Domestic inflation, which has non-tradables have not yet caught up. The Colombo CCPI has grown 17.1 percent since December 2014 and the CCPI core index has grown 19.9 percent.
The costs are heavy.
An entire free trade strategy of the administration is in a shambles. Anti-free traders are baying at the heels of the Finance Minister.Tax revenues are being lost because vehicle and other imports have been hit.
The currency fall is making it difficult for Finance Minister Mangala Samaraweera to market price fuel as the rupee falls as the currency peg adds to the costs like in India, making him lose tax revenues.
A fragile recovery has been undermined with both currency depreciation and interest rates giving a double hit on consumer spending.
The National Medicinal Regulatory Authority through its price controls have also hurt pharmaceuticals sector. It is a threat to businesses and it is a threat to the banking sector and its depositors.The falling rupee has worsened pharma troubles. Drug prices may not be in the inflation index, but the cost rises are real.
Fiscal Policy
All this is happening despite Finance Minister Samaraweera running a budget as tight as possible. There is primary surplus in the budget also.
Governor Indrajit Coomaraswamy, honest to a fault, has publicly said this.
In Malaysia in the early 1980s when Daim Zainudeen tightened budgets, Bank Negara Malaysia gave him strong exchange rate at around 2.6 to the US dollar to carry out his reforms.But Samaraweera had been denied this foundation.
A central bank will peg to the US dollar (external anchor) because monetary policy of the Fed is better and importing the policy of a stronger central bank will provide domestic stability.By targeting a REER peg, which may include bad central banks, a country will import the policy of the worst central banks in the basket. That is all there is to it.
There is political will to raise taxes and also market price oil, but the central bank has failed to deliver on the exchange rate either through floating or a sustainable peg. Make no mistake, the rupee is not even close to a floating exchange rate. In that case the rupee should have appreciated sharply like the Malaysian Ringgit in 2017.
It is said of Daim that he cut spending, raised taxes and forced state enterprises to tighten, which helped Malaysia ride out a bubble and a downturn. Daim is credited with repaying loans ahead of time before he retired.
Samaraweera had done quite similar things in the face of severe opposition, including from within the coalition, but the falling currency may leave him with a different epitaph.He has been denied a floating exchange rate as well, which may move down but will go back up again over time.
It is an outright lie to say that East Asian nations had undervalued their currencies. East Asian nations – including China from 1993 to 2005 – had used the exchange rate as a tool of domestic stability which helped keep nominal interest rates and inflation down.
A country with a falling currency will have high nominal interest rates compared to one that is running consistent policy involving a floating exchange rate or a fixed peg backed by floating interest rates.
Paper Principle
Sri Lanka's monetary instability, and blaming current account deficits rather than monetary policy for currency troubles could have a far more dangerous outcome.
This column has warned several times that if the central bank injects liquidity into money markets in a big way it will result in dollar sovereign default. The biggest danger to repaying foreign debt is central bank liquidity.
It is not clear exactly what the central bank would do under the new Liability Management Act.
If it will simply raises, and keep dollars as dollars for repayments no harm will be done. If the money is used to inject liquidity via Soros-style swaps instability will be the result.
If under the law any 'buffers' of a domestic nature are going to be built involving paying down state bank overdrafts, and running them up suddenly with lender of last resort printed money, there is also danger for the country.
Paying bonds prematurely by converting paper to liquidity with dollar conversions will also have deadly consequences.
There is danger for the country any time the central bank does not roll-over paper for paper and instead disturbs reserve money and therefore the exchange rate.The legacy central banks swaps are also a danger. All central bank swaps must be rolled over as paper.
The central bank must negotiate with banks to settle the maturing swaps with paper (T-bills) which are third party obligations and not its own paper (bank notes). Or it must structure the deal in such a way that the final outcome is a paper transaction, which does not involve disturbing the liquidity of third party banks.
Sri Lanka's banking system can stand a liquidity shock of about 15 to 20 billion rupees. But anything bigger will create a ripple and then a storm.
Sri Lanka has a proven way of raising dollars to repay foreign loans. Keep rates a little higher, mop up inflows, build forex reserves, (effectively) sell the reserves for Treasury bills to the finance ministry, sell down the Treasury bills, put the brakes on domestic credit, mop up more dollars. And so on.
If there is a true floating rate this cannot be done. Then the government will not have any foreign reserves to use. It can only be done by running a peg tighter than a currency board.
If the Liability Management Act allows the central bank to manipulate rates with new money and in any way undermine the rolling over of paper it is a new risk to the economy.
If the Public Debt Department wants to cut interest costs, then it must sell more short term debt and reduce longer debt sales.
The forced bond sales are also a new risk to the economy. Auctions must be allowed to work. If forced bonds are bought with printed money through lender of last resort windows, and rates forced down delaying the flow real money into bond markets, there will be pressure on the external front.
The tax difference between bonds and bank deposits is a new risk to the economy.
Mercantilist Dangers
If Sri Lanka has to repay foreign debt on a net basis, interest rates have to be a little higher, economic activity has to be a little slower and therefore the external current account will end up being a little narrower.
This will generate the resources to repay debt. Curtailing imports such as cars, which bring massive tax revenues is not the answer. It hurts the ability of the country to repay debt by hitting the budget. Dollars will be diverted to imports with lower taxes. This is an own goal.
Neither will curtailing gold smuggling. If that was the case it should have put pressure on the currency in 2017.
Anyone who is smuggling gold to India has to get money back from India to make a profit. Any money he parks abroad will only be the profit. To get working capital for the next shipment he has to get the money back from India.
Gold imports are simply the same working capital being re-cycled with part of the profits accruing to Sri Lanka.
Whether this money appears officially in the trade account or not is irrelevant. To say that gold is imported legally and is not reflected in exports is not economics reasoning, it is Mercantilist unreason. As predicted now the imports of gold is also smuggled.
Sri Lanka should forget about gold smuggling, it is an un-necessary distraction.
Mercantilism is a danger to the stability of this country and the lives of her people.
Whatever is done to the trade account, as long as there are liquidity injections by the central bank, the balance of payments will be negative by that amount.The exchange rate will also fall.
The exchange rate fall has huge fiscal costs, to explain this will take too long in this column. There are also matters like the Tanzi effect, especially on income tax.
But one reason people are misled into thinking that currency falls are good for budgets is that depreciation cost are not brought into the numbers.
While it is not necessary to bring the currency loss of all outstanding loans to the budget (Sri Lanka does not do accrual accounting budgeting which keeps thing pretty simple and clear), at least the cash cost involved in the repayment of foreign loans in the current year must be brought in the budget under cashflow based budgeting.
This will reveal the cost of depreciation.
In Sri Lanka where the currency is falling permanently, depreciation is a permanent cost, which is anyway reflected in outstanding debt.Unlike a floating rate, the rupee does not appreciate. It is not allowed to appreciate back on Mercantilist considerations, even when inflows are steadily sterilized like in 2017.
There is no path to prosperity in currency depreciation and monetary policy should not be used for trade outcomes but for domestic stability.
This time it is different
All efforts must be made to get the exchange rate back on line. A float will help restore confidence quickly and end the stalemate of sterilizing interventions. Prolonged liquidity shortages are extremely bad for credit system and businesses in general.
If under the current framework, there is a need for a 'flexible exchange rate' the only way to do it is to kick up short term rates, sit tight for two to three weeks and allow tight liquidity spread though the system and then, only then, float.
The Central Bank giving dollars to the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation under the counter will not help a float work.Buying dollars from the Treasury will not help any float.There is no need for this country to go into a meltdown.
But it must be borne in mind that the 2018 currency depreciation is not the same as 2011/2012 and the 2015/2016 crises, where a credit expansion was fired without depreciation for months on end after a downturn had ended driving a bubble up boosting consumption and property.
There is no expanding property bubble now. There are empty shopping malls. Construction firms are not doing well.
There is a National Medicinal Drugs Regulatory Authority. Big business groups involved in health care have been hit by the NMRA amid currency depreciation. It can have a cascading effect on other related businesses and their loan repayment abilities.
The health ministry is planning to bring price controls to hospitals, which will hit that sector as well, probably triggering bad loans and halting new hospitals and any growth. Sri Lanka has an ageing population and the country needs more hospitals.
When the currency is falling it is not a time to impose any price controls and kill another sector.
The health ministry can have a website where patients can put up costs, so that people will see the hospital and (more so the younger doctors who are fleecing patients) and allow them to choose. There is one new hospital that is notorious for charging 150,000 rupees minimum for anyone that enters it. But that is not an excuse for price controls.
Those in political power must talk to the health ministry. NMRA must give reasonable price increases based on at least a part of the fall of the rupee to drugs where margins have disappeared. It must stop new price controls in new drugs. Pharmacies are also seeing margins going down.
Business failures are the last thing this country needs right now.
The strategy must be to get more hospitals to come and let competition and price transparency keep prices in check.
The construction sector was slowed, which was fine. Currency depreciation will not help fill empty malls or supermarkets. They will be completely depended on tourists.
Nor will it help sell apartments, unless people are abroad.
But 2018 should have been the year of recovering with gently rising rates, not depreciating with a REER index in line with India after trying to manipulate rates down.
But India is at a different stage of their economic cycle. It is coming off a high.
If the Vietnam Dong collapses in the next year, despite rocketing exports, their people would have got many benefits during the decade long boom.
Sri Lanka is at the bottom, and was just starting to recover from 2016 bust when the depreciation hit again.It is one thing to have a boom-bust. It is quite another to have a bust-bust.
This time it is different.
The Federal Reserve is tightening rates. The US dollar is floating with private sector sterilization, which is unusual, and has led to unusual volatility. Fed is committed not only to pulling liquidity out but also hiking rates.
Trump is an extraordinary source of instability.
There is no need to panic. This country need not go into any meltdown whatsoever.
But there are enough countries that went into a meltdown in situationsclose to the current one.When there is a soft-pegged central bank with a depreciating currency, where the authorities do not understand the dangers of liquidity injections, conditions can change very fast.
An entire country can be turned into jelly in a matter of months. The April liquidity injections, that came thick and fast from all directions makes this columnist shiver in his boots. What happened in August makes hair stand on end.
It must always be remembered that there are valid reasons for harsh punishments for counterfeiting. Germany counterfeited fivers to undermine the British economy. (The UK Treasury was doing a good job of it on its own of course).
Classical economists who advocated free trade also advocated sound money. The two are inextricably interlinked. The result of not doing it can be seen now.
A monetary policy framework centered on domestic stability must be devised as an urgent measure. Mercantilist monetary policy giving subsidies to exporters and producers at the expense of society is not good for a country facing debt repayments.
This is a problem with IMF programs in general. Sri Lanka's 1980s open economy experiment did not take off also due to monetary instability.
Ecuador is a country to keep in mind. It also had a lot of foreign loans. Conditions are not exactly the same as in Sri Lanka but it is close. It was an oil producer that lost tax revenues as exports fell. There were socialist policies and state enterprises requiring credit.
Oil producers dependant on petroleum taxes need to either cut costs and have labour market flexibility (civil service salaries in particular) or have a sovereign wealth fund to remain stable.
In Ecuador the soft- peg started to fail as oil prices fell. Currency depreciation hit domestic demand which was already suffering.
Currency depreciation does not increase tax revenues, as some people claim, because in the short term people's nominal salaries do not go up. Owners of export businesses will get some profits. A lot of money will just disappear in inflation and working capital. Even some of the profits of exporters will be eaten up in working capital. That is also how floating rates work in one sense.
That is why imports fall when currencies fall and economies and living standards collapse. There is no linear short term relationship between nominal tax revenues and currency falls. The suspension of market pricing of diesel and kerosene and possible cutting of taxes is an example.
Even if taxes are not cut, CPC will borrow. The effect is the same on the credit system.
Ecuador suspended market pricing of fuel, cooking gas and electricity as the Sucre currency fell.Ratings were downgraded.
Electricity generators went bust. Other businesses went bust. Banks were bailed out with government bonds. The central bank printed Sucre to discount bailout bonds.
The exchange rate melted.
Ecuador defaulted.
Ecuador had Brady bonds from a previous soft-peg crisis.
This need not happen to Sri Lanka. Any falling of oil prices that comes from a strong dollar is good for this country. But if the currency falls, that advantage will not be available to the finance ministry.
Ecuador dollarized in 2000, dumping the Sucre.
Usually countries dollarizes after hyperinflation. But Ecuador dollarized when there were some central bank reserves left: at one dollar to 25,000 Sucre.
The IMF came into help. And they did. A liquidity management facility was given for banks with some residual central bank dollars. Bad debts were resolved. Loans were re-scheduled.
IMF's First Managing Director Stanley Fischer said later that if Ecuador had asked, IMF would have said the economy cannot be dollarized based on their reasoning. He said IMF should rethink their thinking.
But even now the IMF's analysis on 'overvalued exchange rate' of Ecuador is a joke.
Interest rates and inflation collapsed in Ecuador, while people watched.
Inflation collapsed in Ecuador after dollarization
Poverty which was about 50 percent has now fallen to about 22 percent despite some socialism. Many people in the mountains are still poor. But the central bank can no longer make them poorer.
GDP growth in nominal terms has been variable in Ecuador, which may mislead people. But per capita GDP has is now over 6,000 dollars 18 years later from around 2000 dollars before dollarization. This is not even a generation.It is the time it takes someone to complete school.
In a sea of turbulent soft-pegs in the region Ecuador is an oasis of stability.
Like Pananama. Like the Falkland Islands, where people just fish there but have developed country living standards and where the exchange rate has not shifted for a century.
China has already bailed out Sri Lanka with a billion dollar below market rate loan. It seems they are willing to give more. This means Sri Lanka probably does not have to go down the meltdown path.
But the big problem is China does not put conditions on loans to pull oneself out of the bootstraps like Western countries or the IMF does. Western countries have experience in giving loans and defaults that come from mis-management and corruption. China is learning now.
Sri Lanka will have to do the corrections on its own since China itself does not seem to know. Sri Lanka's Finance Minister seems to be willing to do the right thing.But the soft-peg is his Achilles heel.
Dollarization and currency boards are options to explore. And to be ready in case something happens and rating agencies act and investors panic amid the Trump effect.
There is no point in blaming rating agencies.
Rating agencies do not really understand about soft-pegs or the idiosyncrasies of individual countries, particularly Sri Lanka, this columnist would be the first to agree.
There seems to be an excessive focus on Sri Lanka as well. Our own policy makers who harped on the debt may be to blame.
The events in Ecuador also seem to expose a problem with statistics, which may need more study. GDP growth is highly variable but percapita GDP in dollar terms have grown faster than some countries with higher (real) GDP growth. Rising non-oil tax revenues seem to show that this is real.
Inflation indices lie. They are re-based frequently to lie. When re-basing is extended backwards we know that both the old and new cannot be true.
REER indices are meaningless for much the same reasons and more, not least because it is produced by government agencies, with shifting bases.
GDP and GDP growth lie, – may be not even intentionally. Vietnam produces a GDP number before the quarter ends.
That is honest too in a way, because GDP is a rough and dirty calculation. As long as the same method is applied it does not really matter.It is like an accounting policy. One has to measure something in a consistent way so that the same errors if any is made year after year.
But exchange rates cannot lie. The exchange rate is not produced by the government. It is produced by the market, based on the amount of money printed by the state.

Do you think you've spotted a bed bug in your home? If so, it's best to get in touch with a trusted pest management company as soon as you can. The earlier you treat a bed bug infestation, the sooner you can rest easy.
As the pest management company works to mitigate the local bed bug population in your home it's a good idea to educate yourself on some of the facts about these creatures. If you can dispel the myths you'll be more confident in the bed bug remediation process and decrease any anxiety you may have about bed bugs in general.
Myth #1 - You Can't See Bed Bugs With the Naked Eye
Although bed bugs are small, around the size of an apple seed, they are just as easy to spot as an ant and have a similar brown or red coloring. It's actually the eggs that are more difficult to identify since they are so tiny. However, bed bugs, nymphs and eggs are all visible to the naked eye if you know where to look and what to look for.
Myth #2 - Bed Bugs Indicate Unsanitary Conditions
Bed bugs do not discriminate based on your neighborhood, cleaning habits or thread count. Hotels, apartments and homes at all price points are equally subject to the threat of bed bugs – even 5 star hotels! Nor are bed bugs attracted to dirty or messy conditions (although piles and clutter give them more places to hide), they are only interested in the blood of humans and other animals.
Myth #3 - Bed Bugs Spread Disease
Bed bugs do not transmit any kind of disease. While they certainly bite, their bites do not indicate the spread of disease or pose a real threat to your health. While bed bug bites do cause itching for many people, any redness, raised bumps or welts are not tied to medical illness, rather just an allergic reaction of the skin.
Myth #4 - Bed Bugs Are Only Found in Beds
Unfortunately, bed bugs are not only found in beds. While they are commonly found in beds, bedding, headboards and bedframes they're also likely to have infiltrated the other furniture and fixtures within an infested bedroom. This might include your dresser, nightstand, closet, light fixtures, flooring, picture frames and other areas to hide in with easy access to the bed.
Myth #5 – Bed Bugs Are Only Active At Night
Bed bugs are often most active at night because that is when the majority of people are asleep. However, people with bed bugs that work the overnight shift entice bed bugs to come out during the day. It is merely the presence of heat and carbon dioxide (your breathing) that notifies bed bugs that it's time to feed, not the time of day.
There are many bed bug myths floating around which makes it easy to get overwhelmed by false information. We hope to have debunked a few bed bug myths and improved your general awareness and knowledge of bed bugs. Please let us know if you have additional inquiries about detecting the presence of bed bugs along with bed bug removal services.

When the concept of Web 2.0 introduce, web designer had been rushing to follow this design trend. To better understanding what is Web 2.0 design concept, read this article. Basically they consist of apply bold and bigger text, central layout, gradient and reflection into graphical design element. You can say this concept had become the beginning era of beautiful web design creation.
Just like any trend, it got fade away over times. With SEO comes in mind first when designing a website, many web designer abandon the concept of applying heavy graphical element in their design. Every extra image added to web design will be bad for SEO, this is what today designer think. The creativity had been die down due to reason like "Google love fast loading site", resulting web designer preferred a simple and fast load website creation.
Even though today web design leaning more toward simplistic design, you'll still need to add your creativity into it. Here are five tips on creating your first website design:
1. Choose the Right Fonts
When people look at your brand or website, the first impression would be the typography use, if you're building a funny humor site, use a more fun and rounded fonts, if you're building a news oriented sites, use a more serious serif fonts, if you're building a tech site, choose a more techgy fonts. That's why fonts is important in your design.
2. Choose the Right Colors
Colors will influence people's emotion when visiting your site so you need to choose a suitable colors for your site. Your site niche will taking a big role on what site color you should choose. If you're building a nature or non-profit sites then a more subtle natural color such as green or brown would be suitable. If you're building a attention news sites, then you need a strong color such as red or blue. You could check out this modern colors palette that go beyond the single tone color. However according to Forbes, pantone color is becoming the trend in designs including fashion.
3. Choose the Right Web Layout
We are far beyond using a simple 2 columns web design. Nowadays you'll see more and more website used a multi grid for their web layout. The layout also categorize into sections where intro, blog, features and eCommerce etc fit into one page. This kind of layout are best for company or brand homepage design. Everything you need to know about a brand can be showed in one single page. Here's an example of modern web layout.

"Hero" picture or known as intro picture is crucial to your website. When visitor first arrived in your site, they will instantly know what the site is about when they see your intro picture. It is important to deliver the first message to visitors. Here are few example:
Geeky smart hero image show business wise video explanation.
Show you that the company is a thinker, help improved marketing.
Show that you can publish your idea, even on the outdoor.
5. Choose the Right Style
When comes to design style, there's a lot detail you need to consider, are you running a business site? or education site, maybe even a personal site? Business site need a more serious web design style, focus on message you need to deliver to your consumer, use less colors, less shadow, less fancy design element. For education site, the hero image will play a significant role, something bright and feel of hope is best style for education website. Personal website would be something that related to you, if you like skateboard, then add a skateboard icon or illustration into your site, add some design element that related your daily life. Here's a few best example of personal website style:

Try follow your own style when first design your website. Following trend is good but every now and then you need to input your own unique touch to the design. Read more design magazine such as howdesign and inDesign, don't particular focus on website or graphic design, sometime inspiration will comes even when you looked at billboard, ads, interior or home design style.

Looking into a piece of real estate, you may notice that there is an easement attached to the land title. When this happens, you may want to get in touch with a real estate attorney. An easement is a legal agreement that gives the right of using another person's land to someone who is not the owner for a specific purpose. Easements do not give the other person the right to do whatever they want on your land. If they do start using your land as their own, you can easily find an attorney who can properly deal with this issue. They are usually used to give utility companies the ability to run power lines and cable lines through land. However, there are other reasons why you may need an easement for your property.
To create an easement, you will have to create some sort of written document or deed that specifies the reasons behind the easement as well as the limitations to the agreement. These documents should be carefully written and read over by the property owner. Whatever is written as legal by the document can be used fully by the person that is not the land owner but is part of the easement. Both the property owner and the holder have rights to the land according to the easement. The owner should not do anything to the land that prevents the holder of the easement from doing whatever the easement specified they would be able to do on the land.
Types of Easements
There are two main types of easements. There is an easement appurtenant and an easement in gross. Easements classified as appurtenant deal with ownership of the land. When this is the case, the easement will transfer over to the next land owner should the original holder of the easement decide to sell their home or land. What this means is that the land owner will probably have to notify the new neighbor of the land in which they are able to use per the easement.
An easement in gross is a personal easement that does not transfer over to a new holder like the appurtenant easement does. This means that if the original holder of the easement sells their property, the new owner does not have the same legal right to go on to the other land owners land. Even though there was an easement with that owner before they bought the property. While a new easement may be established with the new property owner, it will have to be a separate document if the land owner keeps it as an easement in gross.
Easements are not a complicated thing to explain. But once it gets down to the applications and legal purposes of the easement, things can get a little tricky. Sometimes there can be legal consequences for things that you did not even know would block the easement. If you are a property owner and are thinking of having an easement with a neighbor, then be sure to discuss the terms. It's important for both parties to understand what they are entitled to legally do and not allowed to do.

Did Kendall and Kylie steal Tupac pics for their T-shirt fiasco?
Kendall and Kylie Jenner, already smarting from online outrage over their ill-fated "vintage" rock T-shirts featuring their own images, now face a copyright infringement lawsuit stemming from the public relations debacle.
Michael Miller, an acclaimed photographer in Los Angeles who has worked with celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, Eazy-E and Jack Nicholson, filed a lawsuit against the two youngest members of the Kardashian-Jenner reality-TV clan in federal court in Los Angeles on Friday.
He accuses the duo of using two of his pictures of Tupac Shakur, without his consent, on the T-shirts they tried to market on their website last month.
On June 28, the two models unveiled the "vintage" rock T-shirts — at $125 each — with their Instagram faces superimposed over some of rap and rock's icons, such as Shakur, Notorious B.I.G., Black Sabbath, Metallica, Pink Floyd, the Doors, Kiss and Led Zeppelin.
By June 29, following a deluge of critical comments and widespread mocking, including from the outraged mother of the late Notorious B.I.G., the sisters yanked the shirts from the website and expressed abject contrition on social media.
The designs were "not well thought out and we deeply apologize to anyone that has been upset and/or offended, especially to the families of the artists," Kendall tweeted. "We will use this an opportunity to learn from these mistakes and again, we are very sorry."
But Miller was still mighty ticked off, says his lead lawyer on the lawsuit, Scott Alan Burroughs, whose firm, Doniger/Burroughs, specializes in protecting artists and creators from copyright infringement.
"It was very upsetting to Mr. Miller," Burroughs told USA TODAY. "His photography and particularly these photos are extremely personal and extremely important to him. To see them out there being used by someone who never advised you they were going to be used would be upsetting to any artist."
Miller's lawsuit also names Kendall + Kylie Inc, the Jenner sisters' company, in the claim. Miller wants to be compensated with all of the profits, and for his own losses, from the alleged infringement to the greatest extent possible under the Copyright Act.
Burroughs said that because Miller registered his pictures with the U.S. Copyright Office, he could seek statutory damages of up to $150,000 per photo.
Miller, the suit says, had no interest in being associated with the Jenners, in part because of their known habits of "ostentatious displays of wealth on social media," and in part because of Kendall's involvement in "two of the worst public relations disasters in recent memory."
Kendall was widely mocked in April for appearing in a Pepsi ad that ripped off imagery from Black Lives Matter protests and that positioned Kendall as soothing race relations with a can of soda. And last month she was paid to promote the disastrous Fyre Festival music debacle that is now the subject of lawsuits and at least one federal indictment.
Burroughs says neither Jenner sister can argue that they were naïve about what they were doing with Miller's photos.
"They're not running their business out of their garage with no supervision," he said. "They incorporated two entities, the (T-shirts) appear to be professionally done. It would be shocking to me that they could incorporate their companies and market and sell this apparel and not be represented by lawyers or multiple lawyers."
Will the case go to trial or be settled out of court quickly, given the Jenners' apology? Hard to say, Burroughs said. "Most federal lawsuits are resolved out of court but we've tried numerous lawsuits for copyright infringement. It's not the rule, but it's not out of the question."
USA TODAY reached out to representatives of the Jenner sisters and their "momager," Kris Jenner, but messages were not returned.

Mars society is conducting a program by simulating conditions as on the planet Mars. They have chosen Utah's rocky, arid desert – red hot rocky area with hot winds blowing. The space research station base is 40 miles from Hanksville.
They (team of four men and two women) live there with limited ration and no outside connection with the world. In their research. They bath once every three days and continue their study of two weeks of the tour. Whenever the team has to leave the station, they have to ensure that exit can only take place like in a science fiction movie with perfect air lock. They need to don heavy helmet, boots and carry the radio units.
Photo: Dainik Bhaskar
The research project's aim is to know how difficult it is to live on the red planet. They sleep in coffin-like beds in a two story-hut. A few mails are allowed per day. They have the only outside connection with the Mission Control and have to report daily by giving details of the way they feel, leaving no aspect of their experience. All this would help the project scientists to learn how to overcome difficulties on the trip that will last between one year to for five years.
Psychological and engineering problems need to be sorted out prior to any program to land on the red planet. The mission commander Lara Vimercati, 27, is a Biologist with NASA. She says to enter the Mars it will take 20 years more. The engineers will be the first to land on the Mars' surface as they can repair any breakdown but as a Biologist, she might be the first one to reach there.

Quarterly Economic Update January 2009
This month the National Bureau of Economic Research dating committee officially listed December 2007 as the start of the current recession due to weakness in labor and consumer markets. As the unemployment rate inches up to 6.5% workers may receive a little comfort from sinking gasoline prices, but they still wonder how long this period will last and how severe it will become. Taking cues from economic indicator data and other forecasts, Dr. Bruce Yandle will provide perspective on the latest economic trends in a way that is understandable to the economist and non-economist alike. This "birds-eye-view" of the economy will be valuable to staffers interested in promoting policies intended to aid economic performance.
Topics to be discussed shall include:
- Is it possible to predict the length and severity of a recession?
- How can we tell which states or regions may fare better or worse in a recession?
- Should we be glad to see lower gasoline prices and what does the dramatic shift from the summer mean for the economy?

What We Stand For—A Reflection by S. Rita Woehlcke SSJ
As we approach election season, we begin to hear about platforms – what a person stands for, a set of criteria against which you can measure the integrity of their lives, their beliefs, their efforts, their choices. I find myself longing to cut through the bombast and spin, to discover what psychology calls "congruence." Congruence is the place where the ideal self and the actual self-living in the world match. Words and actions come close to aligning albeit leaving room for the fact that we are all works in progress.
On Saturday October 12, we Sisters of Saint Joseph and our Associates in Mission gathered to make a public commitment to the documents each group had spent two years formulating together. These documents describe the attitudes and actions that will claim our attention and allegiance for the next five years. In our tradition they are a daily reminder of how we wish to live as we begin each morning and an instrument of reflection on our choices each evening.
The point of a morning reminder is to set a sacred intention for the day, to attune our hearts to our deeper desires that can sustain us through the vagaries of any given 24 hours. It reminds me of who I am, who others are and who God is. It unites me to sisters, associates and all persons of good will who share these values and similarly dedicate their days.
The point of the evening reflection is not a score card! It is an invitation to savor those moments of being in the flow of grace, faithful and attentive to the who, when, where, and how I got to be inclusive love, where I got to put skin on the kind of God I believe in. It allows me to humbly see missed opportunities, to remind myself we are all on a journey of "progress, not perfection." It gives me a chance to notice what derails me.
I am privileged and grateful to be part of this ever-widening circle of sisters, and lay women and men who are willing to go public with their beliefs. May we live these documents with joy– " eyes open, ears attentive, spirit alert, sleeves rolled up," " ready for any good work."

Latin Academy hockey team rocked by car crash
The Latin Academy hockey team was rocked by Friday afternoon's car crash on the Arborway in Jamaica Plain.
All four teens in the crash were Latin Academy students according to a story in Sunday's Boston Globe and two were hockey players. The team's coach, Bob McCormick, happened to be on his way home on Friday afternoon and was caught in the traffic caused by the crash.
One students remained in critical condition Saturday, according to the story.

Late goal lifts Latin Academy past Martha's Vineyard in first round
Making its first appearance in the state tournament in five years, the Latin Academy girls' hockey team could not have made a more dramatic entrance than the one it made Monday at Murphy Memorial Rink in South Boston.
Going into the final period trailing Martha's Vineyard, 2-1, the Dragons tied the game on freshman forward Julia Pano's goal with 7:13 left, and sophomore forward Bridget Fehily scored the go-ahead goal with 1:26 to play.
An empty-netter by freshman forward Danielle Baldassari with two seconds left put Latin Academy's 4-2 victory on ice.
"It's an unbelievable feeling, I feel like we worked really hard," Fehily said. "We never wanted a game more than this and I think we showed that when we came out to play. We just knew we had this game if we worked hard enough and we'd get it. And we just had to believe in ourselves to be able to do it."
Pano tied the game on a shot from about 30 feet that bounced out of the goaltender's glove and into the net.
"I just came down, crossed the blue line, and just took a shot to try to get a goal because we needed it to tie," said the freshman, who has been on the team since sixth grade. "We haven't been to states in so long. I haven't been to states and I've been here three years. There are some girls on the team who are seniors and they've only been once and they lost in the prelims.
"So it's a lot of hope for us."
On the go-ahead goal, Fehily knocked in a rebound after senior forward Tayla Duarte attempted a shot from behind the net that deflected off the goalie.
"I was just going to the net trying to get any puck that I could and I hit it and it went in," Fehily said. "To score that goal, I couldn't believe it."
Second-year Latin Academy coach Ronald Ford said he told his players to "anticipate what is going to happen" when he addressed them before the final period.
"If you anticipate correctly and you're ahead of the play you'll have a better opportunity to score," he said.
Ford said once Latin tied the game he was confident the momentum would push his team to the victory.
"It's amazing ," he said. "It really is, the girls truly put their heart on the ice and left it there for the game to decide what happens. They played as hard as they could and they played really well."
Martha's Vineyard outshot Latin Academy, 24-14. Natalie Lombardi made 22 saves for the Dragons.
"Natalie has been amazing this year, it's her senior year," Ford said. "The two years I've worked with her she's been amazing and we're lucky to have her."
No. 18 Martha's Vineyard, which made states for the first time in program history last year, finishes its season 10-8-3.
"It was a tough loss," Martha's Vineyard coach John Fiorito said, "obviously having the one goal lead going into the final period. You want a better result but I told the kids the program has come a long way. … We just couldn't get out of our own way in the third period. Clearly they came out, we were on our heels. We had a couple opportunities … It was tough. They worked hard. They are in our league so we've seen them a couple times.
"It's a nice little rivalry we got going even though we are on opposite ends of the world in the big scheme of things."
Latin Academy (11-6-4), the 15th seed, advances to play second-seeded Falmouth.
"We're happy to be advancing beyond the first round but we're trying to go as far as possible," Fehily said.

O'Halloran closes book on East Boston hockey career at city championships
With the final seconds of the Boston City League hockey championship game at Matthews Arena winding down on Thursday morning, East Boston senior goalie Sean O'Halloran allowed his fifth goal of the day.
Five seconds later he buried his facemask into the top of his goalie pads. Almost immediately he was surrounded by his teammates as Latin Academy celebrated its ninth straight city championship at the other end of the ice.
"It made me break down even more because I know that they are always there for me, we're still a team win or lose," O'Halloran said after the Jets' 5-1 loss. "It's kind of like the last time you'll ever be playing high school, it's kind of disappointing.
"To go out on a loss is obviously disappointing too. And to let up the late goal kills."
O'Halloran, who has been the starter since splitting time his freshman year, said he's never beaten Latin Academy in four years, including a loss at Fenway Park last year.
But O'Halloran has a lot to be proud of during his tenure at East Boston, sometimes making 40-60 saves per game and creating a buzz in the stands.
O'Halloran, who made about 40 saves against Latin Academy on Thursday, made about 60 the previous night in a 9-2 loss to Nashoba Valley Tech.
"He gets so much recognition from other coaches and parents," said O'Halloran's mother, Valarie Murphy. "I heard one of the other parents from another team say, 'That goalie is phenomenal.' I said, 'Thank you very much, that's my son and that's really nice to hear from someone on the other team,' and he was like, 'All the parents are talking.' "
O'Halloran's task was even harder on Thursday because East Boston only had 10 players compared with Latin Academy's 22. Two Jets went were out with a concussion, two were academically ineligible, and one couldn't play for disciplinary reasons.
East Boston coach Robert Anthony said O'Halloran is one of the best goaltenders he's ever had.
"Sean is up there but we didn't have the bodies behind him," Anthony said. "When you are skating nine or 10 players behind him it's kind of hard."
Latin Academy coach Robert McCormack said O'Halloran is an excellent goalie.
"He's been playing us strong for the past few years," he said. "And we knew we were going to run into him. He makes a strong initial save and he's good at covering up rebounds."
Even though East Boston finishes with a 3-13-2 record, O'Halloran was able to look at the sunny side this season.
"My uncle always tells me look at the bright side; you get a lot of shots, you're never really going to see that if you are on a good team," O'Halloran said. "So if you are on a bad team you can benefit from it too, just getting a lot of shots, quality shots."
And if nothing else, deflecting all those shots is a great workout.
"Since I was a freshman I kind of got used to it," he said. "I wasn't really used to it before because [in] youth hockey you don't really get anything. It's definitely something to get used to. It is draining at times. At the end of the day I feel drained getting that many shots but it just keeps me up and gives me the will.
"I want to win every game. No matter how big of underdogs we are I still want to go out on top. I just kind of push myself."
O'Halloran has not gotten any scholarship offers from colleges. Murphy said her son will try to walk onto a team. She said he has applied to 15 schools and been accepted to three: Southern New Hampshire, UMass-Dartmouth and Bemidji State in Minnesota.
"That's the one he's wanted since he was a sophomore," Murphy said of Bemidji State.
Murphy also said she would have liked to see her son end his high school career on a high note.
"We usually lose to them just by one point," she said. "I thought maybe we could win by one today and just give him something to remember his high school years by but unfortunately it doesn't look like that."
She was speaking as the clock wound down and her son was swarmed by his teammates one final time.
"I think they know he's kind of the one who holds this team together," she said. "He has been for the last couple years. I'm very proud to say that he's my son."

Latin Academy and East Boston meet for boys' city hockey championship
East Boston and Latin Academy are set to meet at 10 a.m. on Thursday morning at
Matthews Arena for the Boston City League boys' hockey championships.
While Latin Academy (8-10-1) will move on to the state tournament, the city championship is the last game of the season for East Boston (3-12-2).
"Your ultimate goal is to get to the big dance and get into the state tournament, but if you can't get that far because you just don't have talent or numbers, the next goal is to play in city championship so you don't come back with nothing," said East Boston coach Robert Anthony.
"I don't consider the city championships a consolation prize. The city championship is a superb game. It's a good chance to get out on the ice and fight each other and the best man wins."
The Dragons have won the city championships for eight consecutive seasons and this season are led by top scorers Mark Guerard, Paul O'Keefe, Pat Owens, and Daniel O'Connell.
"We hope that we can do our best to win and be successful in the tournament," said Latin Academy defenseman Peter O'Donnell. "I think our strengths are our readiness to work with each other as a team. We have our own specific talents and use it as a team to do our best."
Anthony took over East Boston's program in 2001 and so far he has beaten Latin Academy in the city championships twice. When they met during the regular season, Latin Academy won the first game, 7-2, and the second game, 5-4.
Anthony is still optimistic that his team can win.
"Hopefully my goaltending will be there, and I have a couple kids who are good scorers," Anthony said. "If we can put the puck in the net and play superb defense and keep them off the boards, we can come back with a W and that's what I'm hoping."
East Boston goalie Sean O'Halloran has saved 304 shots this year out 376 attempts.
"My goaltender, when he's on his game, it's hard to beat him," Anthony said.
The top scorers for East Boston are Steven Considine (16 goals and 11 assists), Brennis Scales, and Donnell Dunn.
"Here's a kid with potential to break 100 points by the time he reaches the top level and gets up to be a senior." Anthony said about Considine. "He's got 63 points and I can't see him not reaching 100 points."
Eliza Mauro is a junior at Latin Academy.

Goaltender for state-tournament bound Latin Academy is All-Star for second straight year
Natalie Lombardi can remember the first time she put on her Latin Academy hockey jersey. Even though the senior goaltender described her performance as a seventh grader as "entertaining" she still smiles when reminiscing on her high school career.
That's not her only reason to smile. Lombardi has been selected as an All-Star for the Southeastern Massachusetts Girls Hockey league for the second straight year.
And the team will play as a No. 15 seed in the Division 2 state tournament against No. 18 Martha's Vineyard at 3 p.m. on Monday at Murphy Memorial Rink in South Boston.
"It's special. Being on this team for six years, I just always try putting my best out there and getting to go to the All Stars just means a lot because it just means my hard work paid off and people see that," Lombardi said.
One person who has enjoyed seeing Lombardi's work pay off is her coach, Ronald Ford. The goaltender's effort has propelled them to a 10-6-4 record this season, clinching a spot in the state tournament nearly a month ago.
"Natalie has been a solid performer her whole time at Boston Latin Academy and this year we have the team to support her, so it's great to have the full complement of what you need for hockey," Ford said.
While highlighted as being consistent, Lombardi could not emphasize her improvement throughout her six years enough.
"I wasn't that good, just because going from U-12 to varsity, it's a big difference just shot wise and now I know a lot of the shots and I have more quickness and agility than I did when I was little," Lombardi said.
However, starting at a young age and competing against experienced athletes proved to be one of her best decisions as a hockey player.
"It made me realize early on how tough every other team is and it showed me that high school hockey is a big competition for girls," Lombardi said. "It showed me that there's a lot of good players out there."
Lombardi may be right about the surplus of good hockey players on the high school level but for her coach, no one seems to a fit as a replacement for the senior goaltender.
"It's tough because we've relied on Natalie a lot the past five years or so," Ford said. "Having to replace her is going to be a very difficult task."
While a senior season can be bittersweet, Lombardi said she would savor it all as Latin Academy prepares for the state tournament.
"The girls are amazing, I would do anything for my teammates," Lombardi said. "It's just one of those things where you want to take everything in and cherish all the moments."

Boston Latin secures 4-2 win over North Andover in boys hockey
Boston Latin got a victory, beating North Andover 4-2 Wednesday at Matthews Arena, but coach Frank Woods wasn't impressed.
"We expected a very difficult game and I think that's pretty much what we got," he said. "It was not a very pretty game. It was not a well played game on either side."
The game was extremely physical and there were frequent penalties, and the first quarter ended tied at 0-0.
"In the first period we weren't playing very well and our competition level was very low," Woods said. "We weren't doing a good job on our end getting the puck out cleanly.
Boston Latin got it together at 11:25 in the second quarter when freshman forward Jimmy O'Leary pushed the puck into the net, assisted by senior captain Ryan Dougherty.
"We had the younger kids step up with the goals; two were by freshmen and the first of their career," Woods said. "It was something we talked about the entire game - get pucks in the net. We didn't do enough of that tonight, but we were able to create some opportunities."
Boston Latin struck again at 6:09 when senior forward Joe Petruzziello positioned himself in front of the net and tapped the puck off an assist from senior forward Greg Penella from behind the goal.
North Andover began to get frustrated and moved to Boston Latin's side of the rink for the remainder of the quarter, but was stopped by the defense of senior CJ Duella and senior captain Brian Forgione.
When Penella scored just 30 seconds into the third quarter after a mad dash, as well as freshman Sean Burke at the 7-minute mark, it looked like Boston Latin was on its way to a shutout. North Andover had other plans.
Although it struggled to get the puck into the net for the entire game, North Andover scored the last two goals in the last six minutes.
"We definitely underestimated them out there and let them get back in the third period," Forgione said. "Two goals in the third period is not good. We didn't play the way we are capable of playing. We could have played a lot better."
Senior forward Jake Silk had a beautiful shot that opened the scoring for North Andover and senior forward Dan Rivet finished in the last minute.
Boston Latin will face one of the top teams in the league, Lincoln-Sudbury, on Saturday at 12 p.m. at Matthews Arena. Woods hopes two days of practice will be enough to get his team ready.
"[Lincoln Sudbury] is one of the best teams in our league and we're going to have to be a whole lot better than tonight if we want to beat them," he said. "We just have to play a lot smarter."

Eastie's O'Halloran looking to turn season around
If anyone knows losing isn't easy, it's senior captain Sean O'Halloran who has been goalkeeper for the East Boston Jets hockey team since he was a freshman. Last year was tough as the Jets finished their season with only four wins and 16 losses. What's even worse, says O'Halloran, is that many of the losses were by one goal.
"I'd rather lose by ten goals than one," O'Halloran said. "When it's that one, you keep thinking about it, trying to figure out how you can get it back.
"It haunts you."
Last season the Jets lost 1-0 to Nashoba Valley Tech, Trinity Catholic and Latin Academy – all in a row. They lost by one again, 3-2, to Cape Cod Tech, Mystic Valley and Fenway.
Those close losses weren't easy for O'Halloran, who believes that he was responsible for the single goals that determined the losses.
"When we versed Fenway I had 50 saves but all I could think about is that I wish I had 51," he said. " I just wanted to play those teams again and prove we could beat them."
Now that O'Halloran is a senior, he wants revenge for his last year on the ice. The Jets are 1-2, leaving plenty of time for improvement. O'Halloran believes there is no time to waste, however, and has already started making changes.
"To get more wins we need to improve on goal scoring, defense, offense, everything," he said. "Also as a captain I make sure to keep the boys in line in school and on the ice.
He said another reason the Jets had a tough season last year was because many players weren't doing well in school. This year, he's making sure it doesn't happen again.
"I make sure they're always in class keeping their grades up and getting to practice on time."
In addition to keeping the team in line, he's also making sure his goaltending skills are top notch.
"I'm working hard on rebound control and just pushing myself every day to do better in practice," O'Halloran said. "My coach isn't too hard on me because he knows I'm hard on myself."
In addition to longtime coach Robert Anthony, East Boston has also recruited David Hunt, manager of the Eastie rink, to ensure the Jets have their best season yet. He said both coaches help the team improve simply by going over the basics, working on systems and breakouts.
"When he's focused. he plays like gangbusters," Anthony said. "When he steps his game up, the other boys capitalize on that.
"The strength of the team is from goaltending on out."
It's especially important for O'Halloran to improve and finish his career on a good note because of the hockey culture in his hometown, Charlestown.
"Growing up in Charlestown, you're pretty much pushed to play hockey," said O'Halloran, who has been playing since he was seven years old. "Everyone knows each other in the hockey community and kids only two years older than me are getting drafted into the NHL.
"It pushes me to work hard to succeed every day."
After graduation, O'Halloran hopes to attend a college where he can play in the highest division possible. He knows that a successful season this year could get him closer to his ultimate goal.
"I think one thing every game: I might never get to do this again," he said of being a goalkeeper. "I'm going to push my team every day and make it clear that winning is our goal.
"This season, instead of losing by one, we're going to win by one."

Latin Academy dominates Brookline, 6-1, in girls' hockey
The Latin Academy girl's hockey team defeated Brookline, 6-1, Sunday night at Matthew's Arena, and the domination came as a surprise; fueled by tons of action in a thrilling third quarter.
Even more surprising was that star of the game, Dragons freshman forward Danielle Baldassari is new to the school.
"This is my first time even playing with girls," Baldassari said. "I've played with boys my whole life in South Boston."
Following only one score in the first period by junior forward Kathleen Torpey, Baldassari started her hat trick at 11:42 in the second quarter. Freshman defender Margaret Whalen assisted on the goal by Baldassari, who shot the puck into the low right corner.
Down by two, Brookline (0-5) worked to pick it up at the end of the second period and succeeded when senior forward Devin Crowley shot the only puck that passed Dragons senior goalkeeper Natalie Lombardi.
The game was close at the start of the third period, 2-1, until the Dragons (3-1) took control over a four-minute span.
"The girls just put everything together and couldn't stop scoring," Latin Academy coach Ronald Ford said. "They got four goals in four minutes – that was pretty great."
Baldassari scored with 6:22 left in the period after a cluttered fight for the puck near the crease. She scored again for the hat trick with 3:01 left after a rink-length rush.
"My first hat trick actually feels normal, scoring goals just feels natural to me," Baldassari said, while her team chided her for her modesty. "But I guess it is pretty awesome."
The Warriors' defense collapsed over the remainder of the period as sophomore forward Bridget Fehily and senior forward Jordan Fleming also scored.
"We were doing all right but we just came in so strong in the third period," Baldassari said. "We crashed every rebound and our defense stopped [Brookline] every time.
"This was our best game by far."

Looking after your health is important at the best of times, but when you're considering moving abroad it's vital to make sure that you are going to be provided for in your new country of residence.
Leading health experts BUPA are urging expats to make healthcare a priority before they make their move, especially if they have pre-existing medical conditions which are going to need ongoing treatment, which can prove expensive without adequate cover.
"Healthcare systems overseas differ enormously - in many countries there is no state healthcare provision for expats and a routine visit to a doctor can be very expensive. Investing in international health insurance means you can set off safe in the knowledge that whatever happens, your health is protected," a spokesperson for the company commented.
For more information, visit www.bupa-intl.com or call one of the company's advisors on +44(0) 1273 322336
BUPA will be one of the exhibitors at A Place in the Sun Live which takes place at between the 30th of March- 1st of April 2012 at London Earls Court, Advance tickets are available to book now, priced at two for £15 and include a FREE six-month subscription to A Place in the Sun magazine.

The Myth of Early Cancer Detection
"It matters not wether you detect cancer with any test because the treatments offered by allopathic medicine is only palliative. They do not address the cause of the disease. Amputation of the appendages is NEVER REQUIRED but continues to be practiced because surgical remedies are incredibly lucrative. Tumors dissolve on their own if the necessary digestive enzymes are permitted to perform their primary function without the distraction of having to divert their powers for the emaciation of excessive animal proteins. Cancer, like diabetes, is a disease of the fork and spoon. People don't 'catch' this disease, they earn it through inadequate nutrition and improper hygiene.
Early detection is moot! Absolutely no one needs to die from this totally curable disease!"

Blood test finds breast cancer at its earliest stage
By LUCY BALLINGER, Daily Mail 15:47pm 4th August 2006
"A new blood test that detects breast cancer at its earliest stage could become a vital weapon in fighting the disease.
Scientists found the test could pinpoint cancer long before it would show up using other methods.
They believe it could be adapted to identify ovarian and prostate cancers as well. Trial results showed it was up to 1,000 times more sensitive than existing tests."
Response from: Michael T. / Ohio,USA
I'm skeptical about new medical 'break-throughs'. The medical profession is running a scam upon the population and anything they claim to be new and/or whatever, too often turns out to be another smokescreen. Professor John Beard published his findings 100 years ago, and to this day, no one has been able to refute his thesis. Cancer tumors and trophoblasts are one in the same, and thus, both emit hCG. The hCG titre is used in the form of blood tests and urine excretions to determine the estimated amounts of tumors in the body, and it is these figures that oncologists use to state that cancer levels rise or fall. The levels are total nonsense, of course, because the applied treatments do nothing to eradicate the disease which always returns unless the pH of the body fluids are normalized. Should the public ever come to understand this, the treatment of cancer, as it is applied today, will be exposed for what it is, a scam. Cancer is a disease of civilization. It develops because Progenitor Cryptocides pleomorphically evolves into BX & BY mycoplasmas which Drs. Rife and Kendall proved when they created cancer in a test tube along with other diseases by simply altering the growth media and observing the results 36 hours later. Dr. Rife stated this action clearly in the Crane tapes surrendered by Dr. Stafford to the Kinneman Foundation.
Everybody believes that detecting cancer early has some great benefit in curing the disease. It does not. Nor does it make any difference as to which stage one begins to treat it correctly. Extirpation only exacerbates the condition, causing it to return with a vengeance. One is better off leaving it alone. This is especially true with breast cancer, which is an off-shoot of uterine epithelial cells contaminated with chemicals produced in combination with environmental toxins along with excessive estrogens and autointoxication due to inadequate elimination of the waste products of cellular metabolism, coupled with missing essential minerals. Otto Warburg was awarded the 1931 Noble Prize in 'Physiology in Medicine' for his discovery of this metabolic mechanism. The lack of elemental selenium* is a major cause of cancer. It is totally missing from the soils having been depleted with the development of modern farming methods with its chemical fertilizers.
* Also a lack of elemental Iodine. Simple measures such as eating at least 4 Brazil nuts for Selenium daily and taking a couple of drops of Lugols with a healthy dose of Vitamin C and B vitamins should go far in preventative measures then mainstream testing palliatives... Chris Gupta

Further to the above ... these words are almost identical to those that Harold Foster wrote to me, regarding the status of HIV and AID$ 2 years ago ... yet matters have only gotten much worse, with even more drug peddling and constant media warnings of imminent DEATH.
Last night I viewed a new TV AID$ "advertisement" depicting a group of smartly dressed upmarket Black teens having a quiet social gathering, then a voice ended this brief scene with the words "IF YOU ARE 15 YEARS OLD, YOU ARE PROBABLY ALREADY INFECTED WITH HIV". Chris, this is OUTRAGEOUS. It's the work of KFF (Kaiser Family Foundation) and I so want someone (an investigative journo) to assist me in exposing them for what they really are, so that we can get them to leave our country and continent ALONE! They are doing so much harm. Over the past 10 years, all SA children have integrated beautifully, but now, the KFF's tactics are driving a massive wedge between the various races again ... this they're doing, by constantly honing in on HIV and AID$ being a Black disease. GRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrr

"hCG pregnancy testers were reduced in sensitivity a few years ago because too many people were objecting to their cancer diagnoses by challenging their doctor. The tests sold in the U.S. can only pick up a few very severe cancers and are thus useless. More sensitive testers in the 10mIU/ml can be obtained from Europe. Ironically they are made in the USA by ACON of San Diego who are forbidden to sell them in the U.S. Their part #FHC-U111 ...a government by the people, for the people....ha!" M.T. Ohio, USA
Then, further to my silly comments:
Hi Michael
Thanks so much for sharing this useful info!
What about professional urine pregnancy tests done through one's pharmacy, GP or Gynae? Surely they use the more accurate one that you've mentioned?
One doesn't have to tell one's health care provider or whomever, that there's no chance of being pregnant ... although, a little ODD if a man requests this test!
Oh! well, nothing's stopping a loving couple from squashing into the cubicle together if need be.
@ nne
"Don't know about the Gp or Gyno clinic tests. They are probably the same as the ones at the drug store rated at 20mIU/ml. In any event, if the more sensitive ones are in use by the 'profession' they are not available to the public. Incidentally the titer tests that are done in the lab for cancer markers is, in fact, hCG testing. The look at the levels to determine the amount of kill-off that occurs with chemo treatments. Its mostly a waste as chemo really isn't effective against the majority of cancers. 90% of cancers are carcinomas of one form or another and several studies have clearly indicated that chemo has no long term effect upon them."
