Barbados financial system demonstrating resilience according to Central Bank report
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Monday March 9, 2015, CMC – The Central Bank of Barbados (CBB) says the island's financial system continued to demonstrate resilience in spite of challenging economic conditions.
In its 2014 Financial Stability Report released here, the CBB said that over the course of the 12 months ending September 2014, most deposit-taking entities including banks, trust companies and finance houses as well as insurance firms faced low demand for major financial products by the private sector. "Consequently, growth was weak and in some instances, entities recorded a contraction on their balance sheets," the CBB said, noting that for the banks, loan growth was driven by one particular loan to Government, as well as mortgage lending in the personal sector

Cuba's New Laws Will Be More Friendly To Foreign Investors
By Marc Davis
Investors worldwide, ever alert for opportunities, are now eyeing Cuba as the next emerging market with significant growth and profit potential. Cuba's agricultural sector, including forestry, cattle ranching and the dairy industry, are among the areas expected to receive infusions of foreign investment capital.
New Cuban legislation, now pending its anticipated approval in March, will open the nation's inefficient state-managed economy to foreign investments without its current restrictions.
Cuba's current law regulating foreign investment was passed in 2014, but experts say the law is inadequate and imposes too many limitations.
Among the old government rules expected to be eliminated is the requirement of all foreign funded enterprises to employ only domestic personnel and that they be paid in hard currency.
Foreign Companies Do Invest In Cuba
Despite these restrictions, "Foreign companies can and do invest in Cuba," said Raul J. Valdes-Fauli.
Valdes-Fauli is an attorney of Cuban descent based in Miami, former mayor of Coral Gables, Fl., and has extensive experience in taxation, banking and corporate matters both domestically and in Latin America.
"A Spanish company has a chain of hotels," he said. "There's a French fishing company. The Brits are there. The Israeli's have one of the biggest citrus companies. It's only the United States that doesn't invest in Cuba."
The only legal obstacle to U.S. investment in Cuba is the U.S.Helms-Burton Act of 1996, said Valdes-Fauli. The Helms-Burton Act is an American federal law that extended and ramped up the embargo against Cuba first imposed in 1960.
No Embargo On U.S. Sales of Food and Medicine to Cuba
Exempted from the embargo, is the U.S. sale of food and medicine to Cuba for humanitarian purposes. Sales of other U.S. products or services are still illegal under Helms-Burton.
But the Helms-Burton law may be repealed if relations between the U.S. and Cuba continue in its current warming trend. If the embargo is eventually lifted, as many analysts expect, the U.S. will be able to sell the full spectrum of goods and services to the Cuban market
And when the new Cuban legislation takes effect, U.S. companies and investors can invest in the Cuban economy, now undergoing profound changes.
After more than fifty years under an economy patterned on the failed Soviet model, Cuba's economy is moving in a different direction. Foreign investment "would [when the new law is passed] occupy a major role," said Pedro San Jorge, head of the economic policy office of the country's Ministry of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment in an official policy statement to Cuban media. San Jorge's comments reflect the new Cuban
interest in growing its economy through foreign investment.
Cuban Economy Evolves Along Chinese Lines
"Since the fall of the Soviet Union [a Cuban ally and trading partner] Cuba's economy has been evolving along Chinese lines," said Santiago Fittipaldi.
Fittipaldi is a managing director of Burson-Marsteller, Miami and director of its Public Affairs practice; a former journalist covering Latin American business and finance; author of Developing Business Strategies for Cuba; and a frequent visitor to Cuba.
China has moved step by step from a managed economy to a free market economy, but with certain government restrictions – based on Communist-era regulations -- still in place. Cuba has begun a similar transition, which is still in its earliest stages.
"There are already some elements of a freer economy," said Fittipaldi. "Small businesses are permitted, the tourism sector has grown, and partnerships are permitted between Cuban and foreign investors."
Under a re-engineered Cuban economy ready for what some analysts see as exponential growth, Cuba will attract capital, said President Raul Castro, according to a report in a government-controlled weekly newspaper.
The result will be more jobs, an increase in production and profits across many economic sectors, and a reduction of Cuba's reliance on imported goods, said Castro.
In another significant move away from a Soviet communist economy, the Cuban dual currency system will also be gradually abolished.
Under Cuba's two currency system a majority of workers are paid in the Cuban peso (CUC), valued at about four cents. Domestic purchases, however, must be made in the hard currency convertible peso (CUP), pegged to the U.S. dollar. Foreign governments and enterprises do not accept either currency for payment.
Cuba's Major Foreign Buyers
Cuba's major foreign buyers of its agricultural products include Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, and Vietnam. Cuba's main agricultural crops include sugar, tobacco, coffee, cocoa, cotton, rice, potato, bananas, avocado, cassava and a variety of other tropical fruits.
"Even if the Cuban economy lifts its restrictions on foreign investment, there's likely not to be a lot of new [foreign] players," said Fittipaldo. "Cuba will be tweaking what they already have to be more in line with its competitors. Current players will probably increase their [stakes] in Cuban [enterprises].
Cuba's agricultural sector could benefit significantly from an infusion of foreign cash.
Agriculture contributes about 10 percent to Cuba's GDP, according to a report prepared by the Center for Democracy in the Americas and others.*
Some 30 percent of the land is now devoted to agriculture.* But acreage devoted to agriculture could increase as demand and profits heat up, thus making previously unproductive sections of the island new revenue sources. Employment in the agricultural sector*, currently at about 20 percent of the labor force, could increase, expanding consumer buying power if profits increase with more efficient farming and if wages rise in accord with rising profitability.
U.S. Embargo Hasn't Worked
"More than fifty years of the U.S. embargo on Cuba hasn't worked," said Valdes-Fauli. "The Obama administration wants to try something different."

Haiti is back on the map of banana exporting countries
coming months, the first containers of bananas Agritrans project will leave for Europe. A first since 1955. Year in which Haiti has exported this product for the last time. With this project, the country is not only back on the global map of banana exporting countries, but also hopes to find its place in a market dominated by giant India the world's largest producer of bananas to China and the Philippines.
The Agritrans project, first agricultural free trade area of the country is 2 million seedlings that will soon be planted on a thousand hectares with an annual production of 60 000 tonnes. According to the law on free zones, 70% of this production will be exported as against 30% for the local market.
With 17 million tonnes of bananas in circulation - for a total production of 130 million tonnes, mainly consumed locally - international exhibitions of bananas in 2014, according to FAO data, about $ 7 billion per year.
For Jovenel Moses Agritrans responsible for the project, the banana is a mine, a source that never runs dry. It is harvested throughout the year. Now this is very popular around the world, do not leave the country for 60 years. Meanwhile, other countries in the region are engaged in this culture and profit handsomely from the mass of their currency it reports annually.
This is the case, among others, the Dominican Republic, where, according to data from the central bank, banana exports reached between 2011 and 2013, 69% of total exports of fruits. Making it one of the largest exporters of organic bananas in the region.
Jamaica also, according to the Journal of the Caribbean, has high hopes for the banana industry. Indeed, the Minister of Agriculture, Derrick Kellier, announced to the press that his country will embark on banana production, with an initial target of 381 hectares of land.
Never mind! Jovenel Moses everything feels completely equipped to deal with regional competition. "The project is supported by 1,000 acres of Agritrans, the North has an area of 65 000 hectares [...] In terms of arable land, we have nothing to envy to other producers in the level of the Caribbean" said one who admits that he intended to go tickle the Dominican Republic we import almost all the bananas we eat.

Inflation decreases to 6% in T&T
Inflation decreases to 6% | Trinidad Express Newspaper | Business
Headline inflation slowed for the third consecutive month in February to just over six per cent from nine per cent in November 2014, the Central Bank said yesterday. "The slowdown in food inflation, as a result of higher food supply and favourable weather conditions, contributed to the deceleration in headline inflation. This easing in headline inflation may be short lived, as inflationary pressures are expected to pick up in the rest of 2015 due to a number of factors," the Bank stated in its latest Monetary Policy announcement.

Caribbean must unite, says former Jamaican PM
By Glenis A. Rose
MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica (JIS) -- Former prime minister of Jamaica, P.J. Patterson, says the region must unite in order to achieve economic prosperity and effectively address issues such as food insecurity, natural disasters and health challenges.
"We, who were called upon to serve at varying times in political leadership, must avoid the insular approach, which impels us to fight against each other, rather than pool our collective resources for mutual economic growth and shared prosperity," he said

IMF says Bahamas faces challenge to further economic recovery
NASSAU, Bahamas, Tuesday July 28, 2015 – The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says while the Bahamas economy is recovering, the outlook remains challenging. And even with the United States' recovery and the opening of the Baha Mar mega resort, growth is expected to remain below pre-global crisis levels.
Against this backdrop, the Washington-based financial institution has called for structural reforms to strengthen competitiveness, raise potential growth, and lower unemployment; and for continued efforts to strengthen the fiscal position.
The advice was contained in the IMF Board's full report, released yesterday, following the Article IV consultation with the Bahamas last month.
Real gross domestic product (GDP) expanded by an estimated one per cent in 2014 on the back of increased tourist arrivals. Potential GDP growth is estimated at about 1.5 per cent over the medium term, which the IMF said was insufficient to generate a significant reduction in the high unemployment rate.
"Absent structural reforms, including in the labour market and the energy sector, significantly higher growth than currently projected will be required to absorb new entrants to the labour force and reduce the unemployment rate to single digits over the medium term," it said.
"The full opening of Baha Mar and two smaller projects, together with the strengthening US economy could represent a major boost to exports in the near-term," the IMF added, although stressing that, beyond 2016, growth would taper off as US growth decelerates and the base effects from the opening of Baha Mar fade.
The IMF directors therefore underscored the importance of finalizing and implementing the National Development Programme to accelerate medium-to-long-term economic and social development.
The Fund said that over the medium term, enhancing the efficiency of labour market regulations and institutions and greater investment in human capital would be essential to increasing productivity and competitiveness.
It also stressed the importance of stepping up reforms of the state-owned enterprises, in particular in the energy sector.
As they commended the authorities for the substantial progress on fiscal consolidation, and successful introduction of the VAT, the IMF directors urged government to steadfastly implement the planned fiscal consolidation in order to rebuild buffers and place public debt on a declining path.
"In this regard, they stressed the need for continued revenue reforms, including strengthening tax administration. They also recommended rationalization of current expenditures in the context of a medium-term budget framework," the directors stated in a press release.
They also agreed that the exchange rate peg has continued to serve the Bahamas well. To support it going forward, they stressed the importance of structural reforms to improve competitiveness, noting that this would also avoid placing an excessive burden on fiscal policy.

New T&T Govt faces tough economic times ahead*
THE new Government takes office at a time when the national economy faces formidable challenges, as Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley repeatedly emphasised during the closing weeks of the election campaign and in his victory speech on the night his party won.
It took a lot of courage for Dr Rowley to alert his supporters and other voters he wooed on the campaign trail to "rough waters and rapids" ahead, knowing that even a hint of sacrifices could have turned away voters who craved "milk and honey".
We do not envisage the Government having to impose IMF-style harsh austerity measures, since the country's macroeconomic fundamentals are not woefully bad.
True, the latest Central Bank data point to a decline in GDP of 1.2 per cent for the second quarter of fiscal 2014-2015, and we can expect a similar trend to continue for at least another year.

Healthy Urban Planning in Horsens
Detailed description of the Good Practice
The planning process in the City of Horsens is very open and structured around strategic principles including goals, action plans and evaluation. Every citizen in the city can follow and influence the process from the concept phase to final implementation. The city attempts to involve its citizens in the planning via all modern methods and tools, from general meetings to citizens' and users' councils with democratically elected representatives. We also work with the city's organisations, including NGOs.
The strategic planning process is both short- and long-term (4-25 years). The process also deals with all important policy areas such as the city's physical structure and its policies concerning senior citizens, health, children and young people, vulnerable groups, culture, environment etc. This form of planning (HUP) was developed over many years. The results to date include major urban lift projects, a green recreational structure for the entire city, an ambitious environment improvement programme, and implementation initiatives, traffic safety projects, health plan etc.
The city is currently working on a revision of the municipal plan (the master plan), the preparation of green recreational plans for all parts of the city, a traffic plan and a traffic safety plan for the entire city, a strengthening of environmental initiatives among other ways by including comprehensive assessment tools in the planning process such as SMV (strategic environmental evaluation), urban lift projects, and a general policy for open spaces and all of the municipality's outlying villages in cooperation with the council elected by the villages.

EU accounts true and fair and share of irregular spending further reduced in 2016, say EU auditors
There has been a sustained improvement in the estimated level of error in payments from the EU budget, according to the latest Annual Report from the European Court of Auditors. About half of EU spending audited in 2016 was below the 2% threshold for material level of error. As a result, the auditors have issued a qualified opinion on 2016 payments, rather than an adverse one. This is their first qualified opinion since they began to provide an annual statement of assurance in 1994. In addition, the auditors have given a clean opinion on the 2016 EU accounts' reliability, or "signed them off", as has been the case every year since 2007. Revenue in 2016 was free from material error.
The overall level of error for EU spending in 2016 was estimated at 3.1%, compared with 3.8% in 2015 and 4.4% in 2014.
"Entitlement payments", made for meeting specific conditions, account for about 49% of EU spending and showed levels of error below 2%. They include direct aid for farmers, grants to students and researchers, and staff costs. 'Natural Resources: Market and direct support' had an estimated level of error of 1.7 % and 'Administration', 0.2 %.
However, higher levels of error were found in "Reimbursement payments" made through refunds. For 'Economic, social and territorial cohesion', the estimated level of error was 4.8%; for 'Natural Resources: Rural development, the environment, climate action and fisheries', it was 4.9%.
"This year's qualified opinion reflects an important improvement in EU finances," said Mr Klaus-Heiner Lehne, the President of the European Court of Auditors. "Going forward, we will take a fresh look at how we audit the EU budget. We will take greater account of internal controls at the European Commission and in the Member States, so we can better promote accountability and further improve the management of EU finances. We will also increase our focus on performance to ensure EU citizens get value for their money."
Action by the Member States and the Commission reduced the overall estimated level of error by 1.2%. However, sufficient information was available to further prevent or detect and correct many errors. If this information had all been used correctly, say the auditors, the levels of error for 'Economic, social and territorial cohesion', 'Natural Resources' and 'Global Europe' would have been below the 2% threshold. "This means there is no need for additional controls, but the existing controls must be enforced properly," said President Lehne.
The auditors confirm that the European Commission's reporting on compliance with the rules is in line with their own results in most cases. But they recommend that the Commission should focus more on performance and simplify its measurement tools in line with international good practice.
Finally, the auditors warn that the total payments the EU is committed to making from future budgets ('outstanding commitments', known as thereste à liquider or RAL) were higher than ever in 2016, at €238.8 billion. Clearing this backlog and preventing a new one should be priorities for planning EU spending in the period starting in 2020, they say.

The last two years have seen its fair share of emotions flood social media. But sometimes, words aren't enough. That's where emojis come in.
With 2,823 emojis in the Unicode Standard, it's safe to say, that there is a little something for everyone. And Brandwatch's latest 'The Emoji Report' reveals just that. Using Unicode's official positive and negative classifications, they analysed EVERY Twitter post featuring emojis from 1 September 2015 to 30 September 2017. They uncovered over 6.4 billion emojis, with the average monthly use of emojis at 250 million!
Check out what their 2-year study of Twitter posts says about the emotional rollercoaster that was 2015-2017.
The Emoji Report's Key Findings
Well, the top 20 emojis couldn't have described the last two years any better.
From happy to sad to literally crying our eyes out with laughter, the last two years have our emotions all over the place! And these are just the Top 20. But if we want to talk stability. On Twitter from 2015-2017, positivity reigned, with positive emojis accounting for 75% of the emojis posted over the period! And while the negative feels only took home 25%, they grew 9.5% over 2015-2017. Reflective of the 'moments in time' that divided the world? Yep.
According to Brandwatch:
"The largest volume of negative emojis was recorded during the month of the American election (8th November 2016). During the week of the election, negative emoji use grew to 28.9% (a two year high) 😢"
"Negative emoji use grew by 3% in the months before and during the British EU referendum (23rd June 2016) "
That explains a lot. Brandwatch took it a step further and broke down certain emojis to represent various sentiments such as joy, disgust, sadness, fear, surprise and anger.
Taking it a step further, Brandwatch mapped out the above categories peaks as well, showcasing the prominence of news, opinion and moments on Twitter. Joy was found to surround the holidays – in particular, Christmas BOTH years. Negative insights on the other hand, according to Brandwatch were:
"Fear emojis spiked to an all-time high in the run-up to the EU referendum. However, use of fear emojis dropped dramatically following the result 😨."
"Sad emojis spiked to an all-time high in May 2017 due to the Manchester terrorist attacks."
"Anger emojis spiked on Aug 20th, with 33% of angry emoji tweets referencing Donald Trump 🤬."
So, perhaps unsurprisingly, politics had a lot to do with our rollercoaster of emotions over the last two years.
At what point of the day were we using emojis the most?
That would be 9 pm! With the use of negative emojis growing as the day progressed, with a growth of 21% from 8 pm to 6 am. And like a lot of other trends, usage varied by gender, with females using emojis more than their male counterparts.
But that's JUST top level. For detailed insights, get Brandwatch's 'The Emoji Report.'

It seems not everyone likes the John Lewis Christmas ad.
Some complained it showed the father sorting out the gifts rather than Father Christmas.
Others said there was a danger that parents would encourage animals on to jump on trampolines.
But others aree angry for an entirely different reason: because it featured a black family. Yes, seriously.
A complaint aimed at John Lewis by 'Katie' on Twitter went viral yesterday:
Copy of John Lewis complaint. Sorry if it offends some,but I really do feel strongly about this. pic.twitter.com/4jdbujCfES
— katie (@K69atie) November 16, 2016
Katie went on to claim her complaint "nothing racist" about what she said, and that most Brits thought the same:
I speak for a vast number who are too afraid to speak their mind because of the racist bullies.
Apparently, people who object to discrimination on the basis of race are the real 'racist bullies'.
Some pointed out her hypocrisy:
The irony, of course, is that you're currently an immigrant in France complaining about immigration in Britain.
But others said they had also made similar complaints to the department store.
Political Scrapbook contacted John Lewis today to ask for their response. A spokeswoman responded with:
We haven't been contacted directly by the customer and we would not engage with this tweet.

A Guide To Pepper Varieties
Peppers (capsicum) are members of the nightshade family and have been cultivated for thousands of years. Varieties range from very mild bell peppers to extremely spicy chilies and have a wide variety of culinary applications.
Selecting and Storing Peppers
When choosing peppers at the market, look for one that has taut skin, a fresh green stem and no soft spots or blemishes. The shape of a pepper is usually irrelevant; just look for those that are firm and heavy for their size.
Store peppers, unwashed, in the vegetable crisper of your refrigerator for up to a week. Peppers can also be stemmed, seeded, diced and frozen with little loss of flavor or nutritional value.
A Guide to Heat Levels: The Scoville Scale
Just how hot is "hot"? A pepper's heat, or piquancy, is measured in Scoville units. Capsaicin, the chemical compound in peppers that inflames your taste buds or nerve receptors in skin, is measured in Scoville heat units or "SHU".
A chemist named Wilbur Scoville developed the scale and although it is not 100% accurate, a pepper's Scoville rating will help you determine how hot a chili really is. The higher the number the hotter the pepper.
|Pepper Name
|Scoville Rating
|Bell Peppers
|100 to 500
|Anaheim Pepper
|500 to 1000
|Poblano Pepper
|1000 to 1500
|Jalapeno Pepper
|2500 to 8000
|Pepper Name
|Scoville Rating
|Serrano Pepper
|10,000 to 23,000
|Cayenne Pepper
|30,000 to 50,000
|Thai Bird Chili
|50,000 to 100,000
|Habanero Pepper
|100,000 to 350,000
|Ghost Pepper (Jolokia)
|855,000 to 1,041,427
How To Handle Hot Peppers
When handling chilies with high capsaicin content, be extremely careful. If possible, wear gloves to protect your hands, and do not touch your face or eyes. If you come in contact with a chili, try soaking your hand in a bowl of milk to help neutralize the burning sensation, then wash thoroughly in soapy water.

Gaganjeet Bhullar Stays Positive Ahead of Asia-Pacific Open
Gaganjeet Bhullar made only one cut in nine appearances this year but he is confident of turning the corner at the $1.2 million event sanctioned by the Asian Tour and Japan Golf Tour.
Indian golfer Gaganjeet Bhullar hopes his hard work will pay off when he tees off at the Asia-Pacific Open Mitsubishi Diamond Cup, which starts here on Thursday. (Click here for latest Golf stories)
The five-time Asian Tour winner made only one cut in nine appearances this year but he is confident of turning the corner at the $1.2 million event sanctioned by the Asian Tour and Japan Golf Tour.
Bhullar will be joined at the Otone Country Club by defending champion Hiroyuki Fujita of Japan, an in-form Roy Ishikawa, who won in Japan last week, compatriot S.S.P. Chawrasia, Jason Knutzon of the United States, who finished tied second last year, and 2011 Order of Merit winner Juvic Pagunsan of the Philippines.
The 27-year-old Bhullar believes he will bounce back from an uncharacteristic run of poor results after working tirelessly on a new swing change.
"I've been practicing almost every day for a good three to four months. There's no reason in general why I haven't made as many cuts as I would like to. I didn't make a big swing change; it was more of working on my basics, the stance and posture. Once I get that in my head then you will start seeing the results," said Bhullar.
"I was facing a problem with my driver on the right to left holes. That was the motive behind the change. The main principal of golf is to repeat it over and over again. I'm trying to make it easier so I can keep repeating it."
Playing in his eighth year on the Asian Tour, Bhullar knows he has to stay patient and keep a cool head.
"For me, patience is important. I need to have some patience and things will come back soon. I've played a lot of golf and the more I play, the more mature I get. This will help me in the long run and staying patient is what I'm trying to do," said Bhullar.

text: Animal Print with Strappy V-Neck January 12, 2019 / Saturdays are the best. I used to spend the day cleaning and end up more exhausted than during the week. I've long since changed that schedule and clean a little most every day so that when the weekend arrives I can have free time to run errands or just relax. What is your cleaning schedule? Do you prefer to do it all at once or space it out like I do? I changed up this cardigan by wearing a strappy sleeveless underneath and pairing with suede ankle boots rather than black knee highs. I am drawing out the brown of the cardigan rather than the black this time. I am still in awe of the price of these suede Frye booties. They were less than $100 and I can only assume they were phasing out the style because I can't find them anywhere now. The Frye price point, in case you are not familiar, is almost always $250 plus and they rarely go on sale. They are high quality and last forever. Well, maybe not forever but almost! I've linked a few similar styles below. DSW Frye DSW This cardigan is very warm even though it isn't lined. It is still available here in gray print and petite sizes. Belk I like the added interest the strappy sleeveless top gives to the outfit. I wore a simple cami the last go around.

Dr. Jeff Is Devoted to Your Community
Community service is a cornerstone of the Just family and Dr. Just continues to carry this torch forward.
We're proud to support a wide range of projects that support our community, from helping fund a new city aquatic center to supporting our local high school's renovation of their old field house.
Becuase we love our community so much, it struck a nerve when we heard about the issue of bullying in the Spring of 2013.
Taking on Bullying with EOB
When the issue of bullying came up in conversation in 2013, it struck a nerve with Dr. Just.
That conversation sparked the idea for EOB, a brand new short film about the problem of bullying.
It's an issue that young people face too often.
EOB is the fictional story of Elizabeth Octavia Baxter. She is the young victim of extremely harsh bullying. EOB was filmed by a professional production company during the summer of 2013 and features over 80 local actors from the Manitowoc area.
EOB is Just Orthodontics' outreach effort deal with this difficult problem. The film, created by Jim DeKock and Associates, is their vehicle. The film premiered on October 23 to a packed house of cast, crew and area VIPs, including Manitowoc Mayor Justin Nichols.
"We did it because we see the problem every single day. Children come in to our practice unwilling to smile because they're embarrassed and teased daily.
We see the amazing transformation orthodontic treatment has on a child's self-confidence and perception of themselves.
Yet, we feel helpless in addressing the real problem- the bully. Attached to the smile is a human being, still in pain." – Dr. Just
Spreading the Message Further
Thanks to the positive reception from the community, Just Orthodontics is working on distributing the film and study guide to all the school in the Manitowoc and Sheboygan areas. Other communities in Wisconsin are also interested in using the film and study guides in their schools.
EOB is a story that kids can relate to no matter where they are. This was a goal for Dr. Jeff Just when he set out to make the film. He says, "Kids all over America face these issues and we want to help anyone who's in crisis. We're dedicated to making a difference within our own community and the community beyond."

Project Linus
Project Linus is a non-profit organization that provides homemade blankets to children in need. The blankets are lovingly made by adults and children from all walks of life.
We started collecting blankets for Project Linus in the Fall of 2011 as a way to give back to our community.
We've partnered with other local businesses to hold collection events that we call Snuggle With a Smile.
Giving a blanket brings a smile to the person making the blanket as well as the person getting it. We hope that each child who gets a blanket will have years full of snuggling.
The support from our patients, family, and friends has been overwhelming. In the 5 years since we have started this project over 4500 blankets have been given to children in need all over the USA.
Many blankets go to our own communities. They find their way to places like the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin and Camp Odyain, a camp for children with congenital heart defects.
We love to see the look on people's faces when they bring in the blankets they have made with love.
You never know who your blanket will go to, but you can be sure it will make someone smile.
Just Orthodontics Youth Apprenticeship
Our youth apprenticeship is an opportunity for high school juniors and seniors to try out different careers.
Students work side by side with our staff and learn all about working in orthodontics. They interact with patients and help our team create beautiful smiles.
The youth apprenticeship program opens doors from students by letting them try out a career while gaining valuable real-world experience.
We can all be inspired by the future good these students will do in our community.
Just Orthodontics Scholarship Program
Each year Just Orthodontics awards a past patient with a scholarship to help them attend a four-year university/college or technical school.
To apply, students write a 500-word essay about how their smile has changed their life.
Dr. Just and the team at Just Orthodontics believe in giving back to the community, and helping students with their education is a great way for us to do that.
With a great smile and a good education, our scholarship winners are headed for a life full of success. This year's scholarship is worth $500.

I see I have the same problem as Johan (See topic: Business Blog Top Text Box ). I cannot even change the blog title away from BUSINESS BLOG.
Tammy says
Johan: It's set under appearance > theme options.
… But with no other instructions. When I go there, I see a BRANDING section, and I do put the name of my site in; however, this does not replace BUSINESS BLOG.
I have followed Tammy's instructions, including deactivating all of the plugins.
I am trying not to be critical, but the 2 issues I am having again are:
1) This theme is not working
2) Although I like the clean and minimalist style, I have concluded that the documentation for this and some other themes is way too minimalist. There is pretty much no contextual help or documentation, at all. Why is this?
I have worked with wordpress for 5+ years now, have wasted an hour trying all of the pages of this theme , but without success. I can see why johan just gave up and chose another theme.
As an aside, it would be good if users could actually rate themes, as they do for themes and plugins at wordpress.org. Does this exist somewhere on the WPMUDEV sites?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Asylum Information
Below is information about the "Hobbits_n_Orli: LOTR Real Person Fiction" asylum on InsaneJournal. To join this asylum, click here. You may leave the asylum at any time.
|hobbits_n_orli (38285)
LOTR Real Person Fiction
(no userpics)
|Hobbits_n_Orli: LOTR Real Person Fiction
Hello, and welcome to Hobbits'n'Orli, a LOTR 'Real' Person Fiction community dedicated to the wild and wacky (and gorgeous and talented, natch!) actors who play Those Hobbits and That Elf in the Lord of the Rings Movies.
This community accepts slash, het and gen, from G to NC-17. The only stipulation is that the main pairing has to include one of: Billy Boyd, Dom Monaghan, Elijah Wood, Sean Astin or Orlando Bloom. [Genfic has to have at least one of those people as a main character.]
So, your fic could have any variety of pairing, from monaboyd to Orlijah to Dom/Evie to Orlando/Richard Taylor/Sean A. to Elijah/Optimus Prime/Minnie Mouse... well, you get the idea. :D
A few other guidelines:
1) All fic must have a header, with title, author, rating, pairing (if any), disclaimer (aka the 'this is not real' blurb), warnings (if any), and summary. Warnings can be at the author's discretion (especially if it's a spoiler), though I'd encourage such for violence, rape, incest, character death, and heavy kink. If members of this community request it, I will create a more comprehensive and detailed list. I hope that everyone here will be able to use their good judgement, and the back button when necessary.
Warning: I will laugh at requests for authors to warn for either het or slash. That's what the pairing part of the header is for. If het or slash (or really, any other genre of LOTRPF) bothers you, feel free to join a different asylum - or create your own!
2) All fic, artwork and banners must be behind a cut. Yes, even drabbles.
3) I have a very low tolerance for stupidity. Thus, if I see people getting nasty in the comments (concrit per se does not count as nasty IMNSHO), trolling, spamming, starting flame wars, or claiming that the actors in question REALLY ARE SO DOING IT!!!111!OMG!!!, the offenders will be warned, and then banned if necessary. This is not a comprehensive list by any means, so remember to turn on your brain before you post.
4) Fic with characters below the age of 16 depicted in sexual situations is not allowed in this community. Not really an issue with these actors, but it needs to be said.
5) Age restrictions will be finalized as I get input from people, here and elsewhere.
6) While I do accept input regarding disputes, the final decisions are mine.
7) Have fun. That's an order. :D

Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph! For the Lord Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth. He will subdue the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet. He will choose our inheritance for us, the excellence of Jacob whom He loves. God has gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises! For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with understanding. God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne. The princes of the people have gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God; He is greatly exalted. (To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. Psalm 47)
God Is The King
Today is a day of rejoicing. There is great reason to begin this day with a lot of confidence, hope and joy. We serve a God that is awesome. Don't let the word fool you. When we say that God is awesome, we just do not mean He is somewhat cool. The meaning of awesome in the Hebrew suggest a fear or reverence. The Lord inspires thanksgiving because no one can stand before Him and His glory. His love is immeasurable. The kindness of His expression of mercy is without bounds. Nothing in the world is as great as the love of God. He is a great king over all the earth. His wisdom is everlasting. Everything in the world is held together by His word. Life is sustained through His spirit. Rejoice in the presence of the awesome Lord Most High.
Men fear one another as nations seek to subdue other nations. What they have always forgotten is that God controls the affairs of men in determining their habitations and boundaries. The nation of Israel was given as an example of God's working among His people. His will is accomplished in the lives of the saints who live for Him each day trusting in His overpowering rule in the affairs of men. He is not quieted by the wrangling of men. The shout of the Lord and the sound of His trumpet herald the fulfillment of His divine will. There is rejoicing in the knowledge of the power of God.
Singing praises to the Lord is telling the story of His might and power among men. We sing with joy in our hearts because He is the king of all the earth. That understanding helps us see clearly through the events of our lives. He reigns over the nations. Think about that. The entire world is contained within the sphere of His power and His wisdom. Nations rise and fall according to the eternal will of the Father. There is good reason to sing with joy and thanksgiving. We serve the one who rules over all the earth.
This year is a time of great political upheaval. We have seen things most would never have dreamed would happen in our society. But here we are. The one true confidence in the matters of this radical year is that no matter what happens – God still rules. The election in fall will not change the power of God over man. He will still maintain His sovereignty and the flags of the nations of men will remain under the control of the Almighty Lord God. Men do not rule the world. An awesome God does. Now that is something to sing praises too.
I have lived, sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proof I see of this truth – that God governs in the affairs of men. (Benjamin Franklin, During the Constitutional Convention, 1787)

There are many colloquial names for boxwood (Pachystima myrsinites) including Oregon boxwood, myrtle boxwood, myrtlebush, mountain lover and falsebox. To further confuse, the genus name, Pachystima, is also spelled Paxistima and Pachistima in the literature. What a multitude of names and spellings for this low, densely branched, very leafy native shrub.
Boxwood grows in coniferous forests, on mountain slopes and in dry shady woods between 2,000 and 7,000 feet. It can be found in the Rocky Mountain States westward (except Nevada), Texas, Alberta and British Columbia.
An evergreen, boxwood usually does not grow more than 3 feet in height. It can be erect or prostrate. The bark is brown or reddish and the twigs are four-angled. After fire, new plants can sprout from buds on the taproot or the root crown.
The simple, opposite (or nearly opposite) leaves have oval to elliptical leaves, which are leathery, smooth and glabrous (not hairy). On short petioles, the leaves are rounded at the apex, narrow or rounded at the base and usually serrulate (toothed) above the base.
The numerous, small flowers are single or clustered in the leaf axils. The four greenish sepals are united at the base. Boxwood has four maroon or reddish petals. The four whitish stamens have filaments that are twice as long as the anthers. The superior, two-celled ovary has a two-lobed stigma and a short style.
Boxwood fruits are two-celled capsules which contain one or two seeds. Each seed is surrounded by a white, fleshy aril (appendage or extra growth associated with a seed). Boxwood seeds have a short period of viability.
Deer, elk, moose and mountain sheep use boxwood as winter browse. Grouse also use boxwood for winter survival. The decorative greenery of boxwood is much in demand for floral arrangements. Care must be taken in populated areas to not deplete boxwood stands for commercial reasons.
Pachystima, the genus name, is from the Greek "pachus" and "stima" meaning "thick" and "stigma" respectively. This name refers to the slightly thickened stigma in members of this genus. The species name, myrsinites, means "like myrsine (myrtle)".
These boxwood specimens were growing along Spring Hill Trail in Mount Shasta CA (Shasta County).

There has been a huge emotional response to pictures of a small boy on the shore of Turkey, which sparked petitions and huge amounts of vitriol directed towards David Cameron for not opening the doors of our country to refugees. The emotional response is fine but the direction of it is completely wrong!
What is the long term aim that simply taking in refugees aims to solve? If we look past the sudden outburst of media covering the situation, this situation has been around for a long time and in the period that the media didn't sensationally report on it, this was still happening. Looking at the Syrian crisis specifically, by opening all our doors to Syrians, this has a detrimental effect on the very country we are trying to help. If a huge amount of immigrants are displaced to Europe, Syria is losing the people that it needs to stay who are so important for rebuilding the country.
What we, and the media, should be focusing on is pouring money into the camps housing the refugees in the countries surrounding Syria and supporting the well being of the refugees there, not waiting until they get to us and then helping them. The Syrians won't have to travel across huge distances of sea in un sea-worthy boats and vast expanses of land to find a better place. They are displaced small amounts to neighbouring countries, where if we pour money into these camps to give them a better standard of living and quality of life then they can be close by to re-populate the region once the conflict has calmed down.
Are we really saying that the compassionate message we're sending out is "risk your lives paying traffickers and smugglers to board an un sea-worthy boat that has little chance to reach its destination, then in the miracle that you do arrive in Europe, please travel enormous distances on foot with no food and water until you reach our doors. We will kindly let you in once you have overcome this simple task. But we won't help you until you have done this."? Surely not.
Is this the right attitude we should be approaching with and saying that we are being compassionate in our response? Often the answer isn't clear cut and it's not about people being "inhumane". It's about looking for long term answers that will stay around once the initial reaction has disappeared from the media.
13.2% of the international response to the Syrian Crisis has been funded by the UK government which is a huge chunk to pay considering how many other countries are involved. More focus should be put on this response which helps the camps in surrounding countries. This is the compassionate response.

PETERBOROUGH will need to win away to Lakeside next Sunday to reach the Championship Grand Final.
The table-topping T.Balfe Construction Panthers were beaten 46-44 in a close-fought first leg at the East of England Arena, and now head to Hoddesdon facing a narrow deficit.
That was despite the remarkable efforts of skipper Simon Lambert, who piled up paid-17 from a stunning seven-ride shift from reserve, but the hosts were unable to find the consistency required elsewhere in the order.
Panthers did make a welcome start to proceedings by winning each of the first four races – in stark contrast to the Hammers' recent visits where their heat-leaders had dominated.
Lambert started his incredible night with a Heat 1 win in which the top men were upstaged, Panthers guest Steve Worrall finishing at the back with Lakeside No.1 Richard Lawson third.
Lambert made it two out of two in Heat 2 after a race-long duel with Ben Morley, just getting the verdict on the finish line, and Ulrich Ostergaard made a fast start from gate two to take control of Heat 3.
The first maximum of the night came in the next as Lambert and Michael Palm Toft got out ahead of Nick Morris, who lifted spectacularly during his chase on the second lap and careered into the fence with Panthers being awarded a 5-1.
But the Hammers hit back through Lawson and Zach Wajtknecht in Heat 5, and Morris prevented an immediate Peterborough response in the next with a last-bend move to stop Lambert from making it four unbeaten rides.
The visitors boosted their containing job with a 5-1 from Adam Ellis and Kyle Newman in Heat 7 as Palm Toft was out-gated, an outcome which levelled the scores on the night.
Panthers, though, took their own maximum in Heat 8 courtesy of Ostergaard and the busy Lambert, who just managed to repel a late challenge from Wajtknecht to put the home side four points up again.
However, a mistake from Emil Grondal on the first turn of Heat 9 enabled Morley to take third place, and a win for Morris narrowed the gap to two – and Panthers were forced into a major Heat 10 rearguard with Lambert and Worrall doing just enough to keep Newman at the back.
A brilliant Heat 11 saw Palm Toft make it around Lawson at the same time as Jordan Stewart was getting the better of Wajtknecht, giving Panthers a four-point advantage.
But it was the Hammers who hit harder in the closing stages with three successive 4-2s, Morris rounding up the entire field to take a fine Heat 13 success whilst Lawson re-passed Palm Toft for third.
Morley was a surprise winner of Heat 14 to help Lakeside into the lead for the first time as Ostergaard missed out, and although Palm Toft rode strongly to keep Morris at bay in Heat 15, a third place for Ellis over Worrall maintained the Hammers' narrow advantage at the halfway stage of the tie.
Panthers boss Carl Johnson said: "People know how big these meetings are, and you want everybody on their 'A' game – unfortunately some of them were way off that tonight.
"It's not what we wanted or expected, but now we've got to pull it out of the bag at their place next week, which we are capable of doing. It's tough, but it's do-able.
"I still feel it was the right choice for us to pick Lakeside, it was the better tie for us. If everyone had performed then there wouldn't have been an issue, and we still know we can run them close there and we've beaten them already there this year.
"But we really have to dig in deep now. We know we've got to win, and I'm sure we'll put up a good fight.
"Simon was absolutely fantastic, I think now he's got his wedding out of the way he's become a different rider, and he showed again tonight that I can rely on him. The only trouble is that I can't use him for more than seven rides – tonight if I could, I would have given him at least ten!"
PETERBOROUGH 44: Simon Lambert 16+1, Michael Palm Toft 9+1, Ulrich Ostergaard 9, Steve Worrall 6+1, Jordan Stewart 4, Emil Grondal 0, Bradley Wilson-Dean r/r.
LAKESIDE 46: Adam Ellis 12+1, Nick Morris 10, Richard Lawson 7+1, Ben Morley 7, Zach Wajtknecht 5+1, Kyle Newman 4+2, Alfie Bowtell 1.

It all started when Michelle brought her older shitsu Tequila into the office…He was a faithful employee for
2 years until he passed away. Since then, both Sally and Heather got new puppies and they became
our new office dogs. And we certainly couldn't imagine the office without them!

Serving Refugees and Immigrants
Because of the continuing refugee crisis in Central America and other parts of the world as well as the separation of children at the US-Mexico Border, we wish to remind our readers of these items from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and from BYU Studies Quarterly. Knowledge of the issues involved can help us know how to lift where we stand.
Church Statement on Separation of Families at the US-Mexico Border, June 18, 2018, states that separating children from their parents is harmful. The statement encourages U.S. leaders to take swift action to find compassionate solutions.
Immigration: Church Issues New Statement, June 10, 2011, states that the Church supports secure borders and using legal methods to cross any border. It also encourages "an approach where undocumented immigrants are allowed to square themselves with the law and continue to work without this necessarily leading to citizenship" and having compassion for immigrants.
I Was a Stranger—An Effort to Serve and Include, lists ways to serve in our communities, using JustServe to help people in need and other organizations. We can support those who are facing the challenges of learning a new language, accessing medical care, and securing employment.
"'Ye Are No More Strangers and Foreigners': Theological and Economic Perspectives on the LDS Church and Immigration," by Walker A. Wright, BYU Studies Quarterly 57, no. 1
When we understand how common fears about immigration are often overblown or fueled by misinformation, we have a better understanding of the role of people in countries receiving migrants. This article looks at migration in scriptural history, public opinion on immigration, the positive effects of immigration on national economies, global poverty, and common misconceptions about immigration.
