32 colours are available, all of which can be mixed to create an endless palette of colours and used for more than one application. All shades cover 100% of grey and can lighten hair by up to 2 shades.
Naturtint hair colour products are manufactured to the very highest international standards and against animal testing.
Contains phenylenediamines and hydrogen peroxide. A skin test should always be carried out 48 hours before the use of any hair dye, even if you have used it before. If you experience any reaction to the test, you should not use the product. We strongly recommend carrying out a strand test at the same time, to assess the selected tone and determine how long the colour needs to develop, for example to cover grey successfully.

Q: Is Naturtint Permanent Hair Colorant going to damage my hair? A: No, Naturtint Permanent Hair Colorant is not only ammonia and resorcinol free but is also enriched with vegetable ingredients designed for restructuring and protection. Many customers comment on the improvement of their hair condition upon using Naturtint.
Q: Can I colour my current dark tone to a lighter one with Naturtint Permanent Hair Colorant? A: Although it is hard to lighten very dark shades, it is possible to lighten most natural colours by up to 2 shades.
Q: Is Naturtint Permanent Hair Colorant a new colorant? A: No, Naturtint Permanent Hair Colorant is a top quality colorant which has been successfully sold across Europe since 1984.
Q: How long does it take to colour my hair with Naturtint Permanent Hair Colorant? A: It simply takes 20-40 minutes once the colour has been mixed and applied.
Q: Is Naturtint tested on animals and is it environmentally friendly? A: No, Naturtint is not tested on animals and is manufactured to the very highest, international (GMP) standards of practice.
Q: Can Naturtint be used if the customer has suffered severe allergic reactions to other hair colour in the past? A: Allergic reactions vary and a skin sensitivity test must be carried out at least 48 hours before application. Naturtint Permanent Hair colorant has been dermatologically tested but in rare cases, reactions can occur. If the customer has previously experienced redness and itching as a result of previous hair colorants then Naturtint Permanent Hair Colorant may be gentle enough to use and if a skin test has been completed with no signs of reaction, the product may be applied. However, if the customer experiences swelling, blistering and/or burning then it is likely that they are allergic to PPD's and a skin test should demonstrate this - if so then the product must not be applied. In these cases, we recommend the use of Naturtint Reflex Non-Permanent Colour Rinses, provided a skin test is carried out before use. A skin test is an important precaution before the use of any hair dye but users should be aware that even if a sensitivity test has been carried out, an allergic reaction may still be experienced when the hair is coloured. The allergy alert test is not a guarantee of avoiding future allergic reactions. Medical advice should be sought in the case of any doubts.
Q: What are PPD's? A: They are p-phenylenediamines found in ALL permanent and some semi permanent hair colorants with the exclusion of certain hennas. They add colour to the hair but are severe skin irritants and in rare cases can provoke severe or extreme reactions. A PPD reaction would typically result in skin swelling, burning and blistering in the region where they are applied. Naturtint Permanent Hair Colorant contains minimum levels of PPD whilst Naturtint Reflex Non-Permanent Colour Rinse is free of PPDs. People allergic to PPD or those simply looking to avoid it should also be mindful that PPD has a number of alternatives that carry the same warnings and risk of allergy, such as toluene-2, 5-diamino sulphate and 2-dihydroxyethylamino or derivatives of PPD such as PPD salts and sulphates like N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine.
Q: Can Naturtint be used by cancer sufferers? A: We have had excellent feedback from customers who have used Naturtint Reflex after their chemotherapy has finished. Significantly, Naturtint Reflex is free from peroxide and PPD as well as ammonia, resorcinol and parabens. We do strongly recommend any such customers seek medical approval before use. Some months after chemotherapy treatment is completed, many customers move on to Naturtint Permanent Hair Colorant but we strongly recommend that the customer again seeks medical approval as to suitability.
Q: Can you use Naturtint whilst pregnant? A: Many ladies continue to dye their hair during pregnancy and it is a very personal decision to make. Naturtint provides choice. Naturtint Permanent Hair Colorant is free of two key chemicals - ammonia and resorcinol but Naturtint Reflex Non-Permanent Colour Rinse contains no ammonia, resorcinol, peroxide or PPD. Q: Can Naturtint be used on other parts of the body? A: Naturtint is not designed for facial or body hair and should not be used on eyebrows or eyelashes.
Q: Can Naturtint be used on top of previously coloured hair? A: Most customers have used another colorant previous to trying Naturtint and we suggest wearing that colour for 4-6 weeks before applying Naturtint. We always recommend a strand test before use to ensure the chosen colour brings the desired result. Our helpline can then help if any uncertainties arise.
Q: Will Naturtint Permanent Hair Colorant really cover Grey Hair? A: Yes, Naturtint Permanent Hair Colorant covers all normal grey hair from the very first application. If your hair is stubborn and resistant to colour, you should leave the colour to develop for the full 40 minutes.
Q: Can Naturtint be mixed? A: Yes, many customers mix colours – please see the Colour Guidance & Mixing tab for advice.
Most of the Naturtint shades are given a code consisting of a number and then a letter. The number tells you how light or dark a shade is, with 1 being the darkest and 10 the lightest. The letter after the number indicates the kind of tone you can expect from the colour;
1 = Black2345 = Mid-brown shade678910 = Lightest Blonde
N = Natural (basic black, brown & blonde shades)G = GoldenC = CopperM = MahoganyR = RedA = AshI = Iridescent
Our most recent and contemporary 5 shades; 9.31 Sandy Blonde, 7.7 Teide Brown, 7.46 Arizona Copper, 6.66 Fireland and 2.1 Blue-Black use a slightly different coding system. The 1st number indicates how dark/light the shade is, the 2nd number indicates the secondary colour used to produce the shade and the 3rd number is a reference to the addition of a 'splash' of a third colour.
For example, the 7.46 is the same depth of tone as a 7N or a 7G, but the additional colours are copper, with a hint of red.
Choosing a shade:Darker - Can go as dark as you like. If you are undecided between 2 colours, go for the lighter shade as it is easier to go darker if the shade isn't exactly right, than to try and colour lighter.Lighter – Naturtint can only lighten hair by one or two shades, e.g. if person's hair colour is a 6N, then you should not use a colourant lighter than an 8N, 8C or 8G. If you have very grey or white hair, it is best to avoid 10N & 10A (unless mixed with other colours) as they are too light to produce a significant colour change.Covering Grey – Very resistant grey will require 40 minutes development time and the 'Natural' colours are usually the most suitable. Brighter tones such as the Mahogany and Copper tones should be mixed with a Natural tone if applied to grey or white hair. Lighter tones can look more flattering against our skin tone as we age, so don't be afraid to go a shade lighter than your natural colour once was.Ash Tones – Shouldn't generally be used on their own unless you want to tone down hair colour i.e. if a light shade has gone too yellow, orange, brassy, golden, reddish. Otherwise they should be used as "mixer" tone to prevent these unwanted warm tones.
Common Blends - When using 'Natural' shades, if you tend to go too red, golden, brassy, yellow then blend in an 'Ash' colour. For example with 6N, 7N, 8N use 8A or with 9N or 10N, use 10A. To tone down Mahogany (4M, 5M and 7M) colours or if you are using these shades on grey hair, mix with similar number of a Natural colour. To mellow Coppers (5C, 7C and 8C) or if you are using these shades on grey hair, mix with similar number of a 'Natural' colour.

Known as "Mr. Rhythm," Ulano has played and recorded with the top names in traditional jazz, and in the 1950s made TV appearances on The Tonight Show with Steve Allen, and the Ernie Kovacs Show. In the 1940s and '50s he recorded a series called "Drum's Fairy Tales," in which he played wild percussion solos while simultaneously reciting hepcat Mother Goose. He's been a drum teacher for decades, has written 2500 instruction books, and he has shoes older than you. Oh, and he once gigged with Public Image Ltd. And recorded with Moondog.

On his new Table of the Elements label release February, much of the great 1980's Downtown tradition of percussion and open-tuned electric guitar-based minimalism at maximum volume continues, though with deliberate incorporation of the trance of North Mississippi blues heroes like Fred McDowell, Junior Kimbrough, and Otha Turner (whose fife-and-snare workouts were definitely a huge element in the Kropotkins).

He is accomplished on the guitar, the Turkish saz and electric guitarviol (a 14th century European bowed guitar), a traditional Persian lute, as well as other Turkish and Kurdish instruments. He also uses the Persian classical repertoire, known as the radif, within his own compositions.

Rihanna Is Now the Most Liked Person on Facebook
In the ever important world of social media statistics, Rihanna is shining bright like a diamond. She has won another popularity contest. The 'Diamonds' singer has cruised past rapper Eminem as the person on Facebook with the most "likes." Em was tops on Facebook for quite some time, but Ri has unseated him and usurped his throne. Guess he wasn't watchin' it.
Eminem hit 60 million "likes" back in July, but RiRi has been nipping at his kicks ever since. Ri has nearly 61,700,000 likes on the social networking site (heads up courtesy of WENN) with Em hovering at around 61,300,000. These numbers update all the time, so we're just posting estimates.
Rihanna's swell of activity -- her new single, her renewed romance with Chris Brown, her perfumes and her penchant for showing lots and lots of skin -- no doubt helped propel her to this impressive stat and have made her the new queen of Facebook. The Rihanna Navy is tops when it comes to its social media support.
The queen of Twitter -- of course, Lady Gaga, who just climbed the 30 million follower hump -- only has around 53.2 million Facebook "likes." But we doubt that bothers her as she works to build her own LittleMonsters.com site into its own social media army. Still, Latin queen (and expectant mom) Shakira is ahead of Gaga with nearly 55 million "likes."
Congrats to Rihanna on winning the Facebook popularity contest. If it translates to more revenue streams, then it's all worth it.

10 arrested in lighter than usual Stateline crowd
With a lighter than expected turnout, Douglas County authorities reported only a handful of arrests during the New Year's Eve celebration at Stateline.
Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Jim Halsey estimated the crowd at 30,000 people, with 10 being arrested for a variety of incidents.
"Charges included battery, domestic battery, battery on a peace officer, disorderly conduct, trespassing, minor consuming alcohol and civil protective custody," Halsey said. "One person was arrested outside the casino core area for DUI."
Highway 50 through the casino core closed to vehicle traffic at about 10:30 p.m., allowing revelers to flow onto the highway.
"The highway was reopened at approximately 12:30 a.m. after the crowd peacefully moved off the street and back into the casinos or other locales," Halsey said.
Carson Valley also was quiet during New Year's Eve, with two people arrested for DUI and one for theft during the evening.
"The various public safety and support agencies involved in this year's event worked extremely well together," he said.
Douglas County Sheriff Ron Pierini thanked all the agencies who participated, including: Nevada Highway Patrol, South Lake Tahoe Police Department, El Dorado County Sheriff's Office, California Highway Patrol, FBI, Tahoe-Douglas Fire Department, East Fork Fire and Paramedics, Douglas County Sheriff's Search and Rescue, Douglas County Emergency Communications Center, Douglas County Road Department, Nevada Department of Transportation and Cal-Trans.

Trident: Highly Recommended
Fund: Trident Capital
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-08-28
I am the CEO and co-founder of a privately held company. Our Series A round was led by Trident and Don Dixon sits on our board. I am surprised by some of the negative comments about Trident on this site. We have found Trident to be a great partner- very supportive, strategic, and well-connected. Prior to selecting Trident for the Series A round I asked two other CEOs that had raised money with Trident in the past about their experience. Each said that if they were to do it again, they would definitely go with Trident. I agree.PRIVATE: Members Only

Buchholz dazzles as BoSox bury Blue Jays
Toronto, ON – Clay Buchholz has had a sensational start to his seventh major league season, and is showing no signs of slowing down.
The Red Sox right-hander fired seven innings of two-hit ball and Boston beat up the Toronto Blue Jays, 10-1, in the second installment of a three-game set at Rogers Centre.
Buchholz (6-0), the first in the majors to six wins, didn't allow a run for the third time this season and racked up eight strikeouts.
He's allowed just five runs in 44 2/3 innings of work this season and is the first Red Sox starter to win his first six starts since Josh Beckett won his first seven in 2007.
"Its fun pitching good, like I said before, there's going to be bumps in the road, there's going to be starts out there when you don't have your best stuff and get hit around a little bit," said Buchholz. "Everybody has to go through it, but I'm going to try and ride the wave as long as its there."
Mike Napoli helped back Buchholz with three of Boston's 15 hits, finishing with two homers, a double, four RBI and three runs scored. Stephen Drew went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and Daniel Nava and Mike Carp each added a solo shot for the Red Sox, winners in six of their last seven.
Mark Buehrle (1-2) was shelled for five runs on seven hits and three walks over 6 2/3 frames. Toronto had just four hits in dropping its fifth game in six tries. Brett Lawrie's RBI triple represented the team's only score.
"I feel like I'm right there, I'm a few pitches away from a quality start," said Buehrle.
Buehrle gave up three homers in his last start, a loss to the New York Yankees, and surrendered his first of three on Wednesday in the second inning.
After plunking Will Middlebrooks on the foot with a 1-2 offering, Buehrle served up a two-run shot to Drew, whose homer stayed just inside the right field foul pole to stake Boston to a 2-0 lead in the second inning.
Napoli and Nava then struck in the third with back-to-back solo shots for a four-run cushion, and Boston's lead doubled three innings later.
Buehrle got the first two outs of the seventh, but then walked Jonny Gomes as his night came to a close. Esmil Rogers took the hill and promptly gave up a single to Dustin Pedroia. Gomes took third on the hit and then came home on a wild pitch from Rogers to give Boston a six-run lead.
Rogers then intentionally walked Ortiz, and Napoli again came through with a big blast, stroking a three-run homer over the center field wall to push the Red Sox advantage to eight runs.
Buchholz only saw a runner advance past first base in his final inning of work, but with runners and corners and two outs, he fanned J.P. Arencibia to get out of the frame unscathed.
Lawrie ripped an RBI triple in the eighth off Boston reliever Alex Wilson, but the Red Sox kept tacking on scores in the ninth, with Carp hitting a solo homer and Nava contributing an RBI single.
Game Notes
Boston's David Ortiz was 1-for-3 with a double and has recorded a hit in each of his first 10 games this season, and has a 22-game streak going dating back to last year ... Toronto' Edwin Encarnacion went 0-for-4, ending an eight-game hit streak.

Airmen can expect to see more solar panels throughout their bases, in their neighborhoods and even on their rooftops.
Plans call for solar power to make up 58 percent of the military's renewable energy capability by 2017, according to a report released in May by the Solar Energy Industries Association.
The Air Force expects to generate 1 gigawatt of renewable energy by 2016. Its goal is to have enough renewable energy to supply 25 percent of all installation electricity use by 2025, Air Force officials announced last year.
With solar energy already juicing up Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., and Davis-Monthan, Ariz., and projects in the works for others, the latest project is underway at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M. Dubbed SolarStrong, the program plans to provide solar power for up to 120,000 military homes within a five-year plan across the U.S.
"Our goal here is to generate cost-saving measures for the base, to create jobs and to help the military reduce its dependence on fossil fuels while securing more energy resources," said Jonathan Bass, senior director of communications at SolarCity, the company heading the project at Holloman.
If you're seeing changes on your base, here's what you need to know:
1. How it helps. As outlined in the May 2013 report, "Enlisting the Sun: Powering the U.S. Military with Solar Energy," the military will not only have lower energy costs but will also be better protected against cyberattack and storm-related power failures as solar power projects expand. For the Holloman base, the goal is to provide solar electricity to more than 600 military homes at Soaring Heights Communities, a military family housing community, and reduce its energy consumption by 20 percent. "Improvements to housing and facilities for our airmen and families depend on many things, but chief among them is the stability of expenses," said Jim Switzer, spokesman for the project at Holloman. "This solar project helps that effort by securing one electric rate for the next 20 years that is below our current cost of electricity."
2. The step-by-step. The solar panels are made up of photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight into direct current power. The DC power from the solar panels is converted into alternating current power, or standard electrical current used in the home. "Each house is also independently connected to a larger electrical grid," Bass said, for when electricity is needed without solar power, such as at night.
3. How much will it save? "We're 100 percent financing these systems ourselves and are selling power to the community," Bass said. "It's like taking [your monthly] utility bill from the local utility and offsetting a portion of that energy used with substituted solar power." Air Force officials have also made an example of the Nellis Air Force Base solar array, which spans 140 acres and is the second largest solar photovoltaic power plant in North America. Completed in 2007, the system generates 14 megawatts and saves the base about $1 million a year.
4. Bases on board. SolarStrong projects are underway at Fort Bliss in Texas, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii, Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Navy Region Hawaii and Tierra Vista Communities. A 900-home project at Soaring Heights Communities at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base provided the initial blueprint for SolarStrong in 2009.
5. The push for more. "Enlisting the Sun: Powering the U.S. Military with Solar Energy" cites the Navy has installed the most solar power generation projects, producing 58 megawatts of power as of early 2013. The Air Force and the Army each produce 36 megawatts. By 2017, solar energy will produce 1.9 gigawatts of power for stateside bases and 3.3 gigawatts by 2025. According to Air Force officials, the service is the second biggest user of renewable energy in the federal government. In fiscal year 2011, 6 percent of the Air Force's total facility energy came from renewables. The 131 wind, solar, ground source thermal and landfill gas projects underway at 56 Air Force installations are expected to generate 37 megawatts of renewable energy. Another 50 projects, either under construction or soon-to-be awarded, are expected to generate an additional 19 megawatts of renewable energy.

This season, it's been a pleasure hearing some familiar, well-established performers, such as violinist Gil Shaham and pianist Jeremy Denk. But it's even a greater pleasure to encounter an unfamiliar name and discover a musician of the first rank. Such was the experience on Tuesday evening, February 9, at the recital by the Hungarian pianist, Dénes Várjon.
What led me to select this concert when I was making my choices for the season? Initially, it was my attraction to the program:
Haydn: Piano Sonata in E Minor, Hob. XVI:34
Schumann: Fantasy in C Major, Op. 17
Janáček: On an Overgrown Path
Chopin: Ballade No. 2 in F Major, Op. 38
Chopin: Mazurka in A Minor, Op. 67, No. 4
Chopin: Mazurka in C Major, Op. 24, No. 2
Chopin: Nocturne in B-Flat Major, Op. 9, No. 1
Chopin: Scherzo No. 2 in B-flat Minor, Op. 31
And though I had never heard of the pianist, after many years of attending the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society concert series, I had come to trust their judgment that they had good reason to include Várjon as part of their piano recital series.
Várjon made an immediate impression with his crisp and energetic rendition of the Haydn sonata. But his performance of the next piece cemented that positive impression and demonstrated that this was a pianist of the highest caliber.
The Schumann Fantasy is one of the handful of defining piano works of the Romantic era, and a personal favorite of mine. Each of the three movements has its distinctive attraction, from the yearning and passion of the first movement, to the relentless drive of the second movement, to the unearthly, almost unbearable beauty of the concluding movement. It is a supreme test for the performer, and Várjon more than met those technical demands. But he was also able to find that elusive balance between emphasizing details through subtle changes in dynamics and rhythm, and, on the other hand, maintaining the grand sweep and momentum of this work.
After intermission, Várjon turned down the intensity level a bit with six pieces selected from Leos Janáček's On an Overgrown Path. I vaguely recall hearing these pieces performed in a recital many years ago, but it was a good experience to hear Várjon's distinctive rendition of these rather introspective works.
But just in case anyone had forgotten Várjon's virtuosic gifts, his Chopin set was bracketed with two formidable showpieces, the second Ballade and the second Scherzo. The entire set was performed with the requisite ingredients of elegance and dramatic flair.
So thank you, Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, for including Várjon in the piano series. Good choice.

Re: Finding Denes Varjon
According to this review in the New York Times, Varjon's Zankel Hall recital was "sparsely attended." Why was that? I can only surmise that not enough CMG members in NYC read my report on his Philadelphia recital, where he presented the same program.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/18/arts/ ... .html?_r=0
The lesson is: be sure to hear this outstanding pianist when he comes to your neck of the woods.

Pascal Gaigne (Gordos, Castillos de Cartón, Chaika, 80 Egunean) and the Finnish director Rax Rinnekangas are one of the most established teams in recent European independent cinema, having worked together on five films.
Following up on our release of Matka Edeniin, Quartet Records is glad to present and support these two minor (but certainly interesting) scores. The Last Days of Lucifer and Water Marked are the last two collaborations of Rinnekangas with Gaigne, sounding closer to contemporary music than to a conventional film score.
Surprisingly, The Last Days of Lucifer consists of lieder (songs), sung by mezzo-soprano Itziar Lesaka, with the notable participation of violin soloist Pascal Arnaud. For Gaigne this has been one of the biggest challenges in the field of film music, and the result, of course, will not leave anyone indifferent.
Water Marked is about a half-Jewish Nordic photographer, the main character of the story, who arrives in Venice, hoping to capture the beauty of the city the Russian-American poet Joseph Brodsky called the "other Leningrad." While there, the photographer unburdens his soul to Brodsky, whom he considers a spiritual brother, while taking pictures in the watermarked city. He is haunted by the actions of his Christian father, a University lecturer from Helsinki, who had worked as an informer on the Jews for Nazis during World War II. He carries also the pain of what he had finally done to this shameful father.
The dark, minimalistic score of Gaigne is conceived as an extended suite for piano, cello and viola.
An album recommended for those who are looking for "something else."

ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. And that's never more clearly felt than of late, as we are currently in the midst of a time of change in the NBA. Free agency has seen a bunch of NBA players change franchises and cities, and while at this point we're used to seeing guys move cities at the drop of a hat, it's still often difficult for a player to leave behind the fans and people who have helped them reach their current status. So how better to reach out directly and let people know exactly how you feel than via an open letter?
The open letter is not a new form — athletes on the move have done things such as taking out ads in newspapers to publish open letters for years. But the advent of the internet has allowed for new forms and forums.
Here are some of the letters we've seen over the last few weeks…
In a letter on The Players' Tribune announcing his departure from Oklahoma City for Golden State, Durant said he will always miss the relationships he built in Oklahoma City…
I'm from Washington, D.C. originally, but Oklahoma City truly raised me. It taught me so much about family as well as what it means to be a man. There are no words to express what the organization and the community mean to me, and what they will represent in my life and in my heart forever. The memories and friendships are something that go far beyond the game. Those invaluable relationships are what made this deliberation so challenging.
It really pains me to know that I will disappoint so many people with this choice, but I believe I am doing what I feel is the right thing at this point in my life and my playing career.
I will miss Oklahoma City, and the role I have had in building this remarkable team. I will forever cherish the relationships within the organization — the friends and teammates that I went to war with on the court for nine years, and all the fans and people of the community. They have always had my back unconditionally, and I cannot be more grateful for what they have meant to my family and to me.

Berkowitz's redemptions were probably near $1 billion in the first quarter if his total portfolio value grew approximately $1 billion and his total assets under management remained about the same. The fund has about $8 billion in assets under management.
His top holdings are still AIG (NYSE:AIG), AIA Group Ltd. (AAIGF), Sears Holdings Corp. (SHLD), CIT Group (NYSE:CIT) and Bank of America (NYSE:BAC).
In the first quarter he reduced American International Group (NYSE:AIG) and Berkshire Hathaway A (NYSE:BRK.A), and sold out of Berkshire Hathaway B (NYSE:BRK.B), Citigroup (NYSE:C) and China Pacific Insurance (CHPXF).
Berkowitz sold 0.34% of his holding of AIG, and now owns 4.44% of shares outstanding. AIG is the multinational insurance corporation that required a $182.5 billion bailout from the federal government during the 2008 financial crisis. From the second quarter of 2010 to the second quarter of 2011, Berkowitz amassed a position of 94,832,939 shares in the company.
In 2011, AIG posted its second profitable year and more than $1.2 billion in earnings, as revenue fell for the third year running. The company also repaid its debt to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in full in 2011 and has no debt remaining to the U.S. government. Year to date, the stock has increased 41.5%, greatly helping Berkowitz's performance as his largest holding.
Berkowitz has an in-depth thesis on AIG here.
He also reduced his holding of Berkshire Hathaway A shares by 36.95%. He had acquired his shares at an average price of $101,850 and today shares opened at $119,900 after increasing 4.4% year to date.
Berkowitz sold all of his 5,180,480 shares in Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) in the first quarter, after reducing 15,606,080 shares in the previous quarter. He bought the majority of his shares from the fourth quarter of 2009 to the third quarter of 2010 at average prices ranging from $35.70 to $47.30. The stock opened at $34.04 Wednesday.
Citigroup's first-quarter net income fell 2%, and it said that more than a quarter of its balance sheet was comprised of cash or liquid securities. The bank is also planning to resubmit plans to the Federal Reserve which could result in a higher dividend. In March the Fed rejected its dividend increase request saying it was concerned the bank's cash reserves were not high enough to withstand the most severe level economic crisis.
Berkowitz eliminated his 109,922,300-share position in China Pacific Insurance Group Co. Ltd. (CHPXF.PK), the fourth-largest life insurer in the country. China Pacific Insurance's stock has traded in a 52-week range of $2.58 to $4.51. The insurer had a difficult first quarter as premium incomes fell 7.5% and first-quarter profit fell 29.4% to 5.63 billion yuan ($892.62 million) on lower investment returns and weaker sales of insurance policies. The previous quarter, its profit fell a company-record 82%.
Finally, he closed his position in Berkshire Hathaway B shares (NYSE:BRK.B). He owned 3,438,350 shares in the fourth quarter after making reductions in the third and fourth quarters.
Berkowitz has produced 8.45% annualized returns over the last 10 years, and a continued recovery of the U.S. financial system will push his fund higher for the long-term gains toward which he aimed his investments.

Government Accidentally Releases Documents on "Psycho-Electric" Weapons

Government Accidentally Releases Documents on "Psycho-Electric" Weapons
Popular Mechanics, April 19, 2018
Posted: 2018-04-23 03:15:08
MuckRock, a news organization that specializes in filing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests with state and federal government bodies, received mysterious documents about mind control, seemingly by accident. Journalist Curtis Waltman was writing to the Washington State Fusion Center (WSFC), a joint operation between Washington State law enforcement and the federal government to request information about Antifa and white supremacist groups. He got responses to the questions he asked, but also a file titled "EM effects on human body.zip." At least some of the images [in the file] appear to be part of an article in Nexus magazine describing a 1992 lawsuit brought by one John St. Clair Akewi against the NSA. Akewi claimed that the NSA had the "ability to assassinate US citizens covertly or run covert psychological control operations to cause subjects to be diagnosed with ill mental health" and was documenting their alleged methods. The federal government has absolutely experimented with mind control in a variety of methods, but the documents here do not appear to be official. Waltman had no idea why these documents were included in his request and isn't sure why the government is holding them. The WSFC did not respond to requests for more information.

U.S. Military Wanted to Provoke War With Cuba
2001-05-01, ABC News
In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's ... Fidel Castro. America's top military brass even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," and, "casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation." The plans had the written approval of all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and were presented to President Kennedy's defense secretary, Robert McNamara, in March 1962. But they apparently were rejected by the civilian leadership and have gone undisclosed for nearly 40 years. The Joint Chiefs even proposed using the potential death of astronaut John Glenn during the first attempt to put an American into orbit as a false pretext for war with Cuba. Should the rocket explode and kill Glenn, they wrote, "the objective is to provide irrevocable proof … that the fault lies with the Communists." The scary thing is none of this stuff comes out until 40 years after.

Inside the secretive Bilderberg Group
2005-09-29, BBC News
How much influence do private networks of the rich and powerful have on government policies and international relations? One group, the Bilderberg, has often attracted speculation that it forms a shadowy global government. Every year since 1954 [they have brought] together about 120 leading business people and politicians. At this year's meeting in Germany, the audience included the heads of the World Bank and European Central Bank, Chairmen or Chief Executives from Nokia, BP, Unilever, DaimlerChrysler and Pepsi ... editors from five major newspapers, members of parliament, ministers, European commissioners ... and the queen of the Netherlands. The chairman ... is 73-year-old Viscount Etienne Davignon. In an extremely rare interview, he played down the importance of Bilderberg. "I don't think (we are) a global ruling class because I don't think a global ruling class exists." Will Hutton ... who attended a Bilderberg meeting in 1997, says people take part in these networks in order to influence the way the world works, to create what he calls "the international common sense". And that "common sense" is one which supports the interests of Bilderberg's main participants. For Bilderberg's critics the fact that there is almost no publicity about the annual meetings is proof that they are up to no good. Bilderberg meetings often feature future political leaders shortly before they become household names. Bill Clinton went in 1991 while still governor of Arkansas, Tony Blair was there two years later while still an opposition MP. All the recent presidents of the European Commission attended Bilderberg meetings before they were appointed. Informal and private networks like Bilderberg have helped to oil the wheels of global politics and globalisation for the past half a century.
Note: Why is this meeting of top world leaders kept so secret? Why, until a few years ago, was there virtually no reporting on this influential group in the major media? Thankfully, the alternative media has had some good articles. And a Google search can be highly informative. Explore many other revealing major media news articles on powerful secret societies. And for those interested, check out reliable, eye-opening information covering the big picture of how and why these secret societies are using government-sponsored mind control programs to achieve their agenda.
[9/11] Hijack 'suspects' alive and well
2001-09-23, BBC News
Another of the men named by the FBI as a hijacker in the [9/11] suicide attacks on Washington and New York has turned up alive and well. The identities of four of the 19 suspects accused of having carried out the attacks are now in doubt. Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September. His photograph was released, and has since appeared in newspapers and on television around the world. He told journalists there that he had nothing to do with the attacks. He has contacted both the Saudi and American authorities. He acknowledges that he attended flight training school at Daytona Beach in the United States, and is indeed the same Waleed Al Shehri to whom the FBI has been referring. But, he says, he left the United States in September last year [and] became a pilot with Saudi Arabian airlines. Abdulaziz Al Omari, another of the Flight 11 hijack suspects ... says he is an engineer with Saudi Telecoms, and that he lost his passport while studying in Denver. Meanwhile ... a London-based Arabic daily says it has interviewed Saeed Alghamdi. He was listed by the FBI as a hijacker in the United flight that crashed in Pennsylvania. And there are suggestions that another suspect, Khalid Al Midhar, may also be alive. FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged on Thursday that the identity of several of the suicide hijackers is in doubt.
Note: The deceptions in the 9/11 official story are clearly shown in this key story. The FBI never revised its list of alleged hijackers.

UFOs exist and everyone needs to adjust to that fact
2019-05-28, Washington Post
UFOs have historically been associated with crackpot ideas. The obvious reason for this is that the term "UFO" is usually assumed to be a synonym for "extraterrestrial life." Alexander Wendt and Raymond Duvall ... argued that the real reason UFOs have been dismissed is because of the existential challenge that they pose for a worldview in which human beings are the most technologically advanced life-forms: "UFOs have never been systematically investigated by science or the state, because it is assumed to be known that none are extraterrestrial. Yet in fact this is not known, which makes the UFO taboo puzzling." In recent years ... discussion of actual UFOs has been the topic of some serious mainstream media coverage. There was the December 2017 New York Times story by Helene Cooper, Ralph Blumenthal and Leslie Kean about the Defense Department's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, which was tasked with cataloguing UFOs recorded by military pilots. DoD officials confirmed its existence. This story ... represented the first time the U.S. government acknowledged the existence of such a program. Then, there were the reports last November about Oumuamua, "a mysterious, cigar-shaped interstellar object [that] fell through our solar system at an extraordinary speed," according to New York's Eric Levits. What appears to be happening is that official organs of the state are now acknowledging that UFOs exist. They are doing so because enough pilots are reporting UFOs and near-air collisions so as to warrant better record-keeping.
Note: The fact that the media is no longer debunking UFOs suggests that a gradual acculturation process is being used. Those in the know have been aware of many intense UFO encounters reported by military officers and more for many decades.

Pfizer had clues its blockbuster drug could prevent Alzheimer's. Why didn't it tell the world?
2019-06-04, Washington Post
A team of researchers inside Pfizer made a startling find in 2015: The company's blockbuster rheumatoid arthritis therapy Enbrel, a powerful anti-inflammatory drug, appeared to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease by 64 percent. The results were from an analysis of hundreds of thousands of insurance claims. Verifying that the drug would actually have that effect in people would require a costly clinical trial - and after several years of internal discussion, Pfizer opted against further investigation and chose not to make the data public, the company confirmed. Researchers in the company's division of inflammation and immunology urged Pfizer to conduct a clinical trial on thousands of patients, which they estimated would cost $80 million ... according to an internal company document obtained by The Washington Post. Pfizer's deliberations, which previously have not been disclosed, offer a rare window into the frustrating search for Alzheimer's treatments inside one of the world's largest drug companies. Pfizer did share the data privately with at least one prominent scientist, but outside researchers contacted by The Post believe Pfizer also should at least have published its data, making the findings broadly available to researchers. "Of course they should. Why not?" said Rudolph E. Tanzi, a leading Alzheimer's researcher and professor at Harvard Medical School. "It would benefit the scientific community to have that data out there," said Keenan Walker, an assistant professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins.

Crispr gene-editing will change the way Americans eat – here's what's coming
2019-05-30, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
Soon, soybeans will be bred to yield stable oil without the addition of dangerous trans fats. Lettuce will be grown to handle warmer, drier fields. Wheat to contain less gluten. And pigs bred to resist deadly viruses. Ten years ago, such genetic changes would have been considered science fiction – or so far off into the future of breeding as to be almost unimaginable. But gene editing, particularly with a tool called Crispr-Cas9, has made it much easier and more efficient to tinker with the genomes of plants and animals. The first Crispr-edited products will begin reaching the market this year, and researchers believe it's only a matter of time before US grocery shelves could be filled with gene-edited produce, grains and meat. The technology will be subject to stringent health and environment review, as well as labeling requirements in the EU, but not in the US. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued a statement last March saying it would not regulate crops whose genetic changes could have been produced with conventional breeding. The European court of justice, by contrast, ruled last summer that gene-edited crops should be regulated as GMOs. The scientific challenges have been largely settled. But political and social ones remain. Jennifer Kuzma, co-director of the Genetic Engineering and Society Center at North Carolina State University, said US consumers are willing to pay 20% more to avoid GMO foods, and nearly half of the public reports actively avoiding genetically modified ingredients and food.
Note: Read an excellent addendum to this important article by GMO expert Jeffrey Smith recommending caution in these little-tested new products. For more along these lines, see concise summaries of deeply revealing news articles on GMOs and food system corruption from reliable major media sources.

The MiPow PlayBulb is one of the more unique accessories we've carried at PureMobile. This lightbulb with a built-in bluetooth speaker is all kinds of cool. I finally got one to try out and I'm happy to report that every concern I had before I even got my hands on it was alleviated after I finally tested it out.
The PlayBulb is controlled using bluetooth and an app that is available on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App store. Once you download the app your device becomes a remote, controlling the music and even the light. In addition to turning the light on or off, the PlayBulb app turns your device into a dimmer switch, letting you set the tone of the party.
The light itself is well put together and surprisingly large. I was sure when it was announced that corners would be cut, but I am happy to report that the MiPow PlayBulb is a winner and a very great gift idea for yourself or a friend!

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer says the Office 365 cloud service is set for general availability this month, but some experts think the product is not ready to leave behhind its beta status.
But is Office 365 really ready to ditch the "beta" tag? One analyst who has been testing Office 365 for a few months says no -- and a quick look at Microsoft help forums shows that numerous beta testers are experiencing problems.
"I'm a big fan of Office 365. I think it's going to do well," says analyst Paul Burns of Neovise, who spent 20 years as a software engineer and senior product manager at HP, a strong Microsoft partner, before becoming an industry analyst. "But if they are moving out of beta at the end of June, then yes, I'm surprised."
Burns signed up for the Office 365 beta for himself and five part-time employees, and plans to continue using the service at the small-business rate of $6 per person per month once it becomes generally available. Burns is using Exchange for email as well as SharePoint, Lync, Office Web Apps and the regular version of Microsoft Office.
One missing capability, in Burns' opinion, is the ability to import contacts from, say, an Outlook client into a shared global address list that can be accessed by all employees through an Exchange server.
Currently, Microsoft requires Office 365 customers to either manually enter each email address one by one, or use Windows PowerShell.
Burns isn't the only one complaining about this, as a help forum thread shows.
A Microsoft support specialist told users on May 12, "If you'd like to import a list of contacts into your Global Address List, you'll need an Enterprise subscription. In Enterprise, you can use Remote PowerShell."
A week later, the Microsoft moderator followed up and said, "Small Business subscribers can now use Remote PowerShell."
But PowerShell requires users to work in a command-line interface, and "not everyone has the expertise to do that," Burns said. It's also time-consuming.
Because of the global address list snafu, and another issue that made it difficult to create properly functioning email aliases, Burns says, "I went to download PowerShell, but very quickly I realised this is going to be time-consuming -- and if I write the script, how do I test it? How do I know it's right? Now I'm afraid to run the script on my data. What if I biff it and delete all my stuff instead?"
One Office 365 beta user complained in the global address list help forum, "This is another example of how such a basic requirement from any business cannot be executed unless you have the Enterprise package. Why the heck should you need to have the Enterprise package simply to be able to import contacts into the GAL?"
In response to a query from Network World, Microsoft said it provides tools to small businesses to migrate users and mailboxes from other services.
"Office 365 for small businesses is designed specifically for smaller businesses and professionals who are looking for cloud-based productivity tools without the IT hassles," Microsoft said in an email statement.
At the same time, Microsoft did not deny that it requires PowerShell to import addresses into the Global Address List. PowerShell is also required to create shared mailboxes for email aliases -- which, for example, would let any employee respond from a generic address, such as "[email protected]"
We received no word from Microsoft on whether this will change once Office 365 exits beta.
Office 365 is getting some positive reviews. ComputerworldUK's sister title Network World reviewed the enterprise version of Office 365, with tester Mike Heck reporting, "Overall, Office 365 for enterprises' Web-enabled tools let me access email, important documents, and efficiently collaborate with those inside -- and outside -- my test organisation's boundaries. This cloud service works handily with Microsoft's desktop office application that workers may already use. Additionally, Office 365 gives enterprise IT departments control over policies and configuration -- while delegating server maintenance and software upkeep to Microsoft."
But any online service is bound to have problems, and the Office 365 help forums illustrate which issues are frustrating users. One user complains that while Office 365 lets you connect to up to five POP or IMAP email accounts, it only checks the extra accounts once an hour by default. Checking them manually requires a couple of steps.
"In this beta exchange environment you have to wait an hour before connected mail accounts will be checked. This is unacceptable," the user wrote this week. "Will this change in the final version? If not, I will move on. For me, as a freelancer it is not [a] workable situation."
Another user complained about calendar tasks not syncing properly with a Windows mobile phone, and others had trouble creating SharePoint sites.
Burns also complained about non-delivery of emails, coupled with a status dashboard that is less than informative. In a case where multiple people told him they received bounce-back emails while trying to contact him, the Office 365 dashboard insisted there were no problems at all.
"Office 365 can have problems on its side, and I'd like to be informed via an administration tool when that happens," Burns says.
Another nagging issue was configuring Office 365 to work with a website hosted by a non-Microsoft provider. Microsoft offers documentation on how to do this, but Burns says the process was full of snags and took many hours.
Burns temporarily had problems inviting people to Lync meetings via email, until that issue was fixed. He's also struggled with importing Word documents into Office Web Apps while keeping the right format, even though Microsoft has loudly touted its ability to import documents and criticised Google Docs for its failure to do so.
Overall, though, Burns is impressed by Microsoft's new cloud service. "I'm totally impressed with that price, and I'm really impressed that they're letting people even just buy one seat per company," he says.
But will the transition from beta to general availability go smoothly? We'll find out soon.

Current coal seam gas approach not covering risks
28 March 2012
"The grand Australian coal seam gas project is just getting started, so there is still the opportunity to slow things down, learn more about its impacts and apply what is learned to control the direction, scale and speed of future development," says Randall, Professor of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University, in an article to be published in the forthcoming edition of the Environment and Planning Law Journal.
"Regulatory approaches are continuing to evolve but I am suggesting something much more comprehensive than anything currently under serious consideration."
Coal seam gas is trapped in pores inside the coal and held in place by large volumes of water. It is released by withdrawing this water, producing huge volumes of waste water (an estimated 300 gigalitres annually) which is very salty.
"Coal seam gas development (CSG) has a much greater footprint on the land and environment than the fairly modest area devoted to its well-heads would suggest, given the need for accompanying infrastructure such as roads, pipes, processing and waste storage and treatment facilities.
"It will impact rural and community ways of life and reduce agricultural productivity everywhere it operates."
While the necessary modelling exercise for CSG would be enormous, the problem goes beyond that, according to Professor Randall. The cumulative shock to the system from CSG will be so large that standard modelling methods, better suited to modelling marginal changes, will be increasingly inaccurate and perhaps literally misdirected.
"The scale of planned CSG development is far beyond anything yet experienced. It is not just that we have not convincingly modelled the cumulative impacts of projected groundwater withdrawals for CSG, we simply don't know how to do it for shocks as great as CSG will create."
The key elements of a "slow down and learn" approach to CSG, as outlined by Professor Randall, would include curtailing CSG expansion until the completion of in-depth scientific studies and analysis of the impacts of existing CSG extraction technology on soil, the surface and the aquifers and developed and tested models of cumulative impact including:
- a study of impacts on groundwater
- research to design state of the art and cost-effective waste water treatment technologies, and
- a comprehensive plan to direct, manage and control future expansion of CSG extraction.
In addition an integrated risk management approach to CSG would require adequate regulatory protections at the project level for future and, where feasible, existing projects.
"Of course, slowing down future CSG development will entail opportunity costs in the form of foregone economic benefits, but these costs could be less than we might think," Professor Randall said.
"It will take some time until we know better how to identify projects that entail manageable risks, how to manage those risks and where to draw the line on unacceptable risks. But when we do, the gas will still be there and depending on developments in energy markets, it may be even more valuable later than it is now.
"If the 'slow down and learn' approach seems rather banal, compare it with adaptive management, which seems to be the Australian regulatory answer to the issue of unpredictable impact.
"Adaptive management is essentially reactive - basically, feeling our way in the dark - and is a perfectly acceptable trial-and-error approach to unanticipated problems. Defaulting to adaptive management in the case of CSG, where we still have time to be proactive, is more like standing aside while the lights go out and then feeling our way in the dark," Professor Randall said

International recognition of university degrees from Canada is something you can count on for your future, since universities in all parts of Canada are known around the world for their high-quality teaching and research. According to the Institute of International Education's "Atlas of Student Mobility," Canada is among the top 7 most popular destinations for international students at the post-secondary level. Canadian universities-including those in Canada--continue to win national and international recognition in annual rankings of top universities in the world. As well, university programs across Canada often seek and receive accreditation, certification and/or recognition from specialized international organizations, which is a testament to their quality and internationally recognized standards.
Canadian universities are also known world-wide as active partners committed to the principle of international or cross-border education. For instance, the Association of Universities and Colleges in Canada (AUCC) is an active member of the International Association of Universities, which works to promote and facilitate student mobility around the world.
For a university education that will serve you well wherever your future takes you, trust the international recognition of degrees from universities in Canada.
