Anything new on chockstone?

1:49:15 PM
Dear Moderator

The last update to the "What's New" section was back in 2006. Has anything new happened since then?

I am happy to interviewed if that helps - I can talk about all my big sends (N/A) and side projects (at the moment I am focused on getting drunk over cheap Malysian food on Elizabeth street after lack luster gym sessions).

2:05:42 PM
Nothing new here. Trad rules...

2:13:18 PM
Perhaps members of the community could step up and email a few things that have been happening? Maybe that section could also be extended to include news about significant things that members of chockstone have been up to? eg John K and his reach your Everest group, the development of new crags by members and so on.

3:17:00 PM
Mike Boniwell, who wrote the code, did the interviews and owns this site has semi retired from climbing, and hasn't done any updates for many years. The new content on Chockstone is what is contained in the forums, which still run by themselves. Mike Boniwell is the only person who can add new content I'm afraid.

4:44:44 PM
Mike seemed really open to the idea of ppl helping him to get chockstone up to date. Just contact him.

    The Problem with Young Men is Positive Male Influence – Plain Truth 101

The Problem with Young Men is Positive Male Influence – Plain Truth 101

The colleague-in-writing-crime Breazy Taylor recently dropped his post called “Are You Man Enough”. It deals with the emasculation of the male in the present American society. Impressively enough, it didn’t take on any racial slants. Rather, it was an all-inclusive look into how “men aren’t even being men anymore”. In his eyes, too many […]

Your Relationship is Unhealthy For You – Plain Truth 79

Oh, now this was one of those songs that went under the radar. Rza, better known as Bobby Digital, deals with relationship issues and domestic violence. As awful as the situations are, the lyrics reflect the anger, misguided passion, and madness that is associated with it. Even the video is graphically compelling. With Domestic […]

    Why I Do Not Particularly Care About The Paula Deen Situation – CCL 75

Why I Do Not Particularly Care About The Paula Deen Situation – CCL 75

“Ooooooo, Paula Deen used the word nigger!” many people have said as I work my way through Twitter and Facebook so I can increase my time of snappy put downs and unadulterated slander. I was too busy trying to avoid this conversation. Yet, all I kept hearing (and keep hearing) about is Paula Deen […]

Please Want Better For Yourself – Plain Truth 71

All feminine activities and foolishness aside, Marvin’s Room by Drake does explain how some people feel when they lose the ones they love. I don’t approve of the haterism and jealousy. However, I do admire the will to admit the feelings that do still exist. Drake actually gets honest with himself by explaining “she […]

You Love Her, But Do You Respect Her? – Plain Truth 58

I swear that Case may need a minor version of Unsung (or major). This song was the j-a-m. Case sings his poor heart out about missing a lost love. It gets to the point where his pain and loneliness is synonymous with an overextending desert (see the video). “Missing You” is that song for […]

Rumors: Talk What You Know, Know What You Talk – Plain Truth 56

Rumors, rumors, and more rumors.

It seems as if people want to talk about OTHER PEOPLE more than they want to be about their own business. I have noticed too many instances of women and men being highly intrusive and messy. I’m not sure what it is. Maybe it is unhappiness with relationships. Maybe it […]

To Abstain or Not to Abstain: Just Go Get Laid (CCL 60)

I always noted that people in bad moods should “get laid”. Usually, I said it out of pure jest. However, it wasn’t all for shits and giggles. Some people just needed to let go of their cares and worries. So, a suggestion of sexual satisfaction would always be the ace in the back pocket.

No, […]

Give Your Relationship A Chance: Plain Truth 51

This was the premier single off of John Legend’s second album, Once Again. Oh, and yes this is my favorite John Legend album (yeah, I said it). Hell, John had women “saving room for his love” by the multitudes. Love, sexuality, and amorous feelings can be funny like that. You can’t help who you […]

Finding Closure Part 2: The Reality of it All – Plain Truth 44

I don’t care what anyone says: Game dropped a heatrock with The Documentary. This is one of those songs that really took me within my mind. I mean, many of us had dreams. Plus, the Kanye West track is both menacing and serene. Thus, this song is just one of those musical treats for […]

Your New Year’s Resolutions May Never Happen: CCL 52

Exploring the Middle Portal 3

I planted the camera tripod legs in the red clay carefully to avoid disturbing the bones that littered the ground around me.

This portion of the Middle Portal features the ruin of a storage cellar surrounded by a jumble of bleached cattle bones. In the west, a lot of old settler’s cabins become sheltering places for cows as the land is fenced and cattle are confined to fields where people once lived.

It’s too bad really. The cows do tremendous damage to the old buildings. I’m sure the ranchers don’t feel particularly nostalgic about the old abandoned settlements but it seems a lack of respect to just let them fill up with cow manure and old bones. Old-time ranchers are usually more interested in scratching out what little money they can make from these arid ranges than they are in history.

I would like to explore the below-ground portion of the old cellar ruin. I wonder if antique sundries, old food tins and bottled preserves are still on shelves down there. I wouldn’t touch anything — that would be bad karma (take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints) — but it would be fascinating to see what might still be down there.

A quick examination of the entry way makes it seem impossible. The entry, at least, has collapsed. If I could get in there, it would be architecturally unstable. It would also likely be spider and snake infested which might be worse than worrying about the roof coming down.

Another time perhaps. Or not.

This photograph would look really cool hanging over your sofa. You can order it here if you like.

Something's Coming - John 9:4

Contact: Dr. Cliff Kelly, 719-661-2804

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug. 2, 2017 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following is submitted by Dr. Cliff Kelly:

    I have been writing for two years now, of A Storm Gathering over America. But recently, I sensed that it will arrive in the form of "A Storm of Truth," so far as I can determine. Meaning, yes, God's judgments are about to fall, but with an explosion of truth and righteousness, to offer powerful counter to the epidemic of corruption that we see all around.

    Therefore I have great hope, since The Blessed Hope is nearer now than ever before. This is why I wrote the book, The Sixth Seal (Stonebridge, April 24, 2017), to encourage the People of The Book and others interested in understanding our times, to make ready for what is ahead. Storms, without a doubt, but for those who are in Him, a solid Foundation on which to stand in the midst of them.

    So do ORDER NOW in either PAPERBACK OR E-BOOK, this timely work designed to offer us both spiritual and practical wisdom and instruction about the nation and world in which we now reside. Events are increasing in both intensity and frequency, toward this historic point: The Messiah's birth pangs are upon us as never before, thus was I was literally "ordered" to write this book. Now, for this time, for all of us, and most of all, for Him, DK

Origin - _Omnipresent_
(Agonia Records, 2015)
by: Chaim Drishner (9 out of 10)
Brutal death metal is probably one of my least favourite sub-styles of metal. Generally speaking, innovation is a rare commodity inside the circles of even the most aspiring, pretentious and technical bands out there who play that very extreme style of metal music.

One can mention several seminal albums (not many though) that have pushed the walls of brutal death metal and explored uncharted musical territories, without losing their brutal edge, but those are too few and far between; from the viewpoint of a metal veteran, brutal death metal is a faceless sub-genre of metal that has lost its relevance and its appeal for the most part, generally speaking, of course.

_Omnipresent_ is one of those albums that bring this super-extreme style of metal music back from the dead into being relevant once more; it brings not only brutal death metal back into the heart of relevance, but it also establishes technical brutal death metal as being an art form.

_Omnipresent_ is an apt name, because this album is like an all-seeing evil eye scavenging for the best pieces of hard-hitting music that have existed since death metal's inception -- and once spotted, those pieces are picked up and thrown violently on a sonic canvas, creating a grotesque collage of death and transcendence, transcendence and death.

Those talented individuals comprising Origin have created one crazy album that sounds like everything and like nothing out there. Deicide, Hypocrisy, Agiel and Brutal Truth meet inside a futuristic spaceship that transforms into this sonic behemoth; ravaging, plowing, smashing, then taking you to a place of beauty, then snatching you violently and throwing you back into a universe of complete destruction and chaos galore.

I like the way Origin handle the dual-vocal approach, for instance; both guttural -and- screaming. It kind of reminds us of Brutal Truth's debut album (sans the grindcore leanings of the latter). At other times this mode of operation will probably remind you of Deicide's self-titled debut or even their sophomore one; this method of screaming versus growling lends the recording a more 'wild' or 'untamed' or even 'Satanic' sound, especially due to the fact the screaming vocals are spewed in such a vehemence and vitriolic blind fury, they almost sound like the shrills of a demented and hysterical black metal screamer; it's hard to remain indifferent to the sound of this sonic throat-generated animosity.

I also like the fact Origin know how and when to slow things down and let their tamer side emerge; moments in which Origin's superb musicianship shines the most, using leads and solos and gorgeous instrumental tracks as light sources. What I don't appreciate, however, is Origin's attraction toward metalcore / deathcore rhythms and slams. (Thankfully, those are scarce.)

_Omnipresent_ is this reviewer's first proper encounter with Origin, and although this album suffers from negative-to-lukewarm responses (as one will surely notice after reading reviews of this album scattered around the Internet), I can safely say now I see no reason why this album is being considered as a 'let-down' by Origin's fans complaining about the band's lowering of standards. So, it's either Origin's previous works have been all timeless masterpieces (which I doubt is the case) -- or those who criticize _Omnipresent_ as being a lesser product have absolutely no idea what they are blathering about (most likely).

True, on first listen this album sounds generic as fuck and you may wonder what is all the fuss around this band. But worry not, for most brutal death metal bands sound generic and rehashed at first; in Origin's case, it was enough to give this album another (proper) spin, to quickly realize that this is a work of musical geniuses, and the simple fact that this album -slays-!

Not only do Origin own some of the best lyricists ever, but also have they been blessed by true talent. Only talented musicians could have written a wonderful instrumental short (too short!) piece such as track seven, called "Continuum"; less than two minutes of pure sonic magic and poetry: dreamy, ethereal and epic yet dark and so very beautiful.

But that's an anomaly of course, as the better part of this album is technical brutal death metal of the highest order. Yet not everything here is blasting; Origin's doom/death moments are among the best, darkest and heaviest slow death metal I have ever listened to. Some of the slower death metal sections will probably remind you of the slow-to-mid-paced parts in Hypocrisy's grand opus _The Fourth Dimension_, owning that dirty, sharp and vile Swedish sound.

Origin even experiment with hardcore punk when they unleash the ninth track "Redistribution of Filth", which introduces a strong D-beat pattern throughout the whole track with a couple of blastbeat bursts here and there. But even this allegedly misplaced track among its more classic-sounding death metal brethren is an excellent song: powerful, full of crazy dynamics, heavy-as-fuck and varied. And indeed, variation is one of the key points of this excellent record. No one song has been left untouched by erratic rhythm changes, an insane amount of superb riffs and a weave of intricate scales, beats, arrangements, velocities, atmospheres; each song has been branded with singularity, each track unique.

You'd seldom hear someone refer to brutal death metal as a 'work of art'; least you'd expect it from someone who doesn't think about brutal death metal as his first choice of a musical fix, but let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, _Omnipresent_ is a work of art. It has refined the utter, perfect, enormous sound of death metal, making death metal sound like death -- like utter death, raining down in chunks of obliterating darkness. Dreadful, plodding, speeding, formless, shapeless, colorful yet somber, this album is such pure and perfect embodiment of brutality, it blows the mind. Innovation, experimentation, emotion and extreme hatred have all been artistically conjoined to form one of the best metal albums in the history of modern metal. Forget the naysayers -- you need to check this album out by yourselves and let your ears and intellect decide. I am sure you will nod in agreement once you listen carefully to what Origin have to say.

Community Development Incentives

The Community Development Department administers a number of incentives designed to support and encourage quality development and redevelopment to enhance the economic vitality of our community.

Downtown Facade Redevelopment Grant Program

Overview: The Downtown Facade Redevelopment Grant Program is a collaborative effort between the City of Galesburg (City) and the Galesburg Downtown Council (GDC). The Program is administered by the Community Development Department, with review authority provided by the Facade Advisory Committee (FAC) and final approval through the Galesburg City Council.

Objectives: The Downtown Facade Redevelopment Grant Program has been designed to encourage architecturally appropriate improvements to commercial facades through the use of higher quality products. The goal is to promote the attraction and retention of business operations and enhance the interest in visiting the downtown area. Crowded sidewalks indicate healthy economic activity and a safe environment for people to come and enjoy.

Eligibility: Any property owner (or occupant of the property with written consent of the owner to participate in the program) may propose a facade redevelopment on a taxable building within a designated geographical area known as the Downtown Area, which has 50% or more of its floor space devoted to a commercial use. Property insurance, real estate taxes and City service accounts must be current at the time of application for funding. A signed Facade Grant Agreement will be required if the application is approved by City Council, which will be recorded in the Knox County Office of Recorder of Deeds.

Funding limitations: For projects located in both the Downtown Area and the Special Service area, the total project cost for any proposed facade project must be a minimum of $40,000 to be eligible. The City and GDC are willing to participate in a reimbursement of 50% of the total project cost, up to a maximum of $40,000, subject to availability of funds. The applicant is required to inject a minimum of 10% owner’s equity into the Facade project.

For those projects located in the Downtown Area, but not within the Special Service Area, the proposed facade project cost must be at least $20,000 to be eligible. The City is willing to participate in a reimbursement of 25% of the total project cost, up to a maximum of $20,000. The applicant is required to inject a minimum of 10% owner’s equity into the Facade project.

Downtown Facade Redevelopment Grant Program Handbook

Enterprise Zone

The Illinois Enterprise Zone Act (20 ILCS 655) contains provisions for the Illinois Enterprise Zone program that is administered by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO). An Enterprise Zone is a creative partnership between state and local governments, local taxing bodies, business, labor and community groups. The purpose of the zone is to stimulate business investments and promote the creation of jobs by offering various tax incentives and other benefits to new and existing businesses that will, or are, located in the Enterprise Zone.

The City of Galesburg’s Enterprise Zone (GEZ) began January 1, 2016 and will be in effect for an initial fifteen calendar years expiring upon December 31, 2030. The GEZ has an emphasis on development and diversification of commercial, industrial, multi-family or upper story residential in the B3 zoning district . The GEZ is a geographically defined area that covers approximately 3.4 square miles (Enterprise Zone boundary map).

The Enterprise Zone program offers a number of incentives to encourage businesses to locate or expand in the zone. Some incentives require a business to meet certain requirements for job creation/retention, amount of investment and the type of business:

  • Enterprise Zone Machinery & Equipment Tax Exemption- a State exemption of 6.25% for all tangible personal property to be used or consumed in the zone in the process of manufacturing or assembly of tangible personal property for wholesale or retail sale or lease. This exemption is good for 5 years, and is contingent upon the eligible business investing $5 million and creating 200 full-time jobs; OR investing $40 million and retaining 2,000 full-time jobs; OR investing $40 million and retaining at least 90% of the full-time existing jobs.
  • Enterprise Zone Utility and Telecommunications Tax Exemption- a 100% exemption of the state tax on gas and electricity and the Illinois Commerce Commission’s .1% administrative charge for 5 years. This exemption is contingent upon the eligible business investing $5 million and creating 200 full-time jobs; OR investing $20 million and retaining 1,000 full-time jobs.
  • Enterprise Zone Investment Tax Credit- a State credit of .5% is allowed a taxpayer who invests in qualified property (machinery, equipment, building) in an enterprise zone.

  • Real Estate Tax Abatement- all local taxing bodies are currently participating to provide a 100% property tax abatement on any increase in the equalized assessed value resulting from a project. The abatement is for a 10-year period, or until the expiration of the enterprise zone, and is not to exceed $1 million abated per taxing body. Improvements can be in the form of new construction, substantial renovation or expansion of an existing building. The abatement is only given if the project creates jobs and does not reduce the prior assessed valuation. Real Estate Tax Abatement Application
  • State and Local Sales Tax Exemption- on building materials purchased within the State of Illinois and incorporated into real property located in the enterprise zone. Sales Tax Exemption Application
  • Construction Permit Fee Waiver- PERMITS ARE REQUIRED, but the fee is waived for building, demolition, electrical, sign, plumbing or heating permits (City Inspection Division); Water Service Tap Fees and Street & Terrace Opening Fees (City Public Works Dept); and Sanitary Sewer Tap Fees (Galesburg Sanitary Dist).

Tax Increment Financing:

Brief History

The Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act (65 ILCS 11-74.4-1) was passed by the Illinois General Assembly in 1977.  The Act authorizes Illinois Municipalities to designate eligible areas (redevelopment areas) for a period of 23 years that can then be developed or redeveloped through Tax Increment Financing (TIF). NOTE: An additional 12 years may be added, but needs approval through the Illinois General Assembly.

TIF is designed to encourage private investment in areas that have proven to be underdeveloped and would not have received such investment "but for" TIF assistance.  If an owner or developer has a project in mind, but there is a gap in the financing to get the project done, TIF assistance may be an option.  A Developers Agreement is required, which will need City Council approval.

TIF is not an increase in taxes.  It is only a re-allocation of how they are used.  Increases in property taxes experienced by property owners are due to reassessment and rate increases, not TIF.

Base EAV and Tax Increment

TIF calls for local taxing bodies to make a joint investment in the development or redevelopment of an identified, underperforming area.  When a TIF redevelopment project area is created, the Knox County Clerk certifies the current Equalized Assessed Value (EAV) of the property in the area, which is known as the Base EAV.

Establishment of a TIF does not reduce property tax revenues available to the overlapping taxing bodies.  The property taxes paid on this base EAV continue to be distributed to the various taxing bodies as they would if the TIF did not exist, with the amount of this revenue declining only if the base declines (something that the TIF is expected to keep from happening) or the tax rate goes down.

When new development, rehabilitation or improvements occur in the project area, the assessed value of those properties are increased above the initial base EAV.  This is called the Tax Increment.  The Tax Increment is then deposited into a Special Tax Increment Allocation Fund for use by the City to make additional investments in the TIF project area. This reinvestment generates additional growth in property value, which results in even more revenue growth for reinvestment.

Redevelopment Plan and Project

Each TIF area has a Redevelopment Plan and Project document that defines the geographic area, identifies redevelopment projects, discusses a comprehensive program for (re)development, provides an itemized list of estimated project costs and provides evidence the project area as a whole has not been subject to growth through private investment and would not reasonably be anticipated to be developed "but for" the adoption of the TIF Plan.

Joint Review Board

The Joint Review Board (JRB) is made up of one representative from each taxing authority affected by a TIF (i.e. school district, community college, sanitary district, county, etc.)  The JRB also includes at least one member of the general public.  The JRB meets annually to review the progress of each TIF.   Also, before a TIF is created, the JRB must review the Redevelopment Plan for the area.

Typical TIF projects

TIF funds may be used for costs associated with the development or redevelopment of property within the TIF, allowing blighted, declining and underperforming areas to again become viable.  Typical projects include:

  • The redevelopment of substandard, obsolete vacant buildings.
  • The development of residential housing in areas of need.
  • Cleaning up polluted areas.
  • Improving the viability of downtown business districts.
  • Financing general public infrastructure improvements, including streets, sewer, water, and the like, in declining areas.
  • Rehabilitating historic properties.

Types of Eligible Costs

The eligible uses for TIF funds are provided in Illinois’ Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-1 through 11-74.4-11):

  • The administration of a TIF redevelopment project.
  • Rehabilitation or renovation of existing public or private buildings.
  • Construction of public works or improvements.
  • Job training.
  • Relocation.
  • Property Acquisition
  • Studies, surveys, plans and specifications.
  • Marketing sites within the TIF
  • Professional services, such as architectural, engineering, legal and financial planning.
  • Demolition and site preparation.

Some restrictions may apply, see the full Act for list of TIF-eligible costs.

This information was compiled by the City of Galesburg Community Development staff utilizing information from the Illinois Tax Increment Association website and the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act (65 ILCS5/11-74.4).

The City of Galesburg currently has five TIF’s

TIF I Downtown was created April 1, 1985 for the purpose of renovating the Custer Hotel into the Kensington retirement facility.  In 2007, through cooperation of all taxing bodies, the Illinois legislature approved the extension as allowed by State Statute for the maximum 35 year term.  The tax increment, currently used to reinvest in the area, will begin to be distributed to all taxing bodies in the year 2022.  TIF has been integral in helping to rejuvenate the Downtown.  Projects have included the Dollar General, First Midwest Bank, Seminary Street loft apartments, Discovery Depot Children’s Museum, the downtown storm sewer project, complete reconstruction of South Kellogg Street (Main to Simmons).

TIF II East Main Street was created December 29, 1986 to acquire properties and assemble land for redevelopment.  In 2007, through cooperation of all taxing bodies, the Illinois legislature approved the extension as allowed by State Statute for the maximum 35 year term.  The tax increment, currently being used to reinvest in the area, will begin to be distributed to all taxing bodies in the year 2023.  Projects have included the Holiday Inn, Taco Bell, Mobil Oil, Turnberry Village apartments, Kiwanis Park improvements, Hy-Vee gas station, reconstruction of Washington Street (Michigan Ave to Virginia), widening and signalization of Michigan Ave (at Main Street) and reconstruction of Ohio Ave (Main to Berrien).

TIF III Regency was created in 1999 for the 23 year term.  This TIF is currently set to expire on December 31, 2022.  Any tax increment generated will be distributed to all overlapping taxing bodies in 2024.

TIF IV was established by the City of Galesburg on June 2, 2008 and is contiguous with both TIF I and TIF II.  The City’s role in the redevelopment effort includes land acquisition , as needed, to facilitate redevelopment activity and public improvements in the downtown area as well as improvements needed to upgrade the appearance and function of the East Main Street gateway into the community.

TIF V was established by the City of Galesburg on June 2, 2008 and is contiguous to TIF II.  The creation of TIF V was to facilitate the ongoing efforts to revitalize the area east of the I-74 interchange.

Interested Parties Registry

An organization or resident seeking additional information on a proposed new TIF district or potential amendments that may occur in existing TIF districts, must register as an Interested Party. An organization must also submit a copy of a one-page statement describing the organization's current operations in the City. A resident must also submit a copy of a current driver's license, lease, utility bill, financial statement or such other evidence as may be acceptable to establish the individual's current City residency.  Interested Parties will be sent notices required under the Act with respect to the applicable Redevelopment Project Area.

Scenes from the #FBAR Marriage: what can happen if #Americansabroad share a bank account with a non-US person

Part 1 – The problem of a U.S. person sharing financial accounts with a non-U.S. person – Probably better to NOT do it!

The above tweet references the following comment at the Isaac Brock Society:

Very timely post. After a weekend when my family was annoyed at me doing my taxes, I thought I was done, but unfortunately not. Try as I might, I could not convince my husband to remove his name from one of our joint checking accounts. Unfortunately, he didn’t tell his family. Various members deposited sums into the account for different reasons near the end of the British tax year, including the repayment of a large business loan that my entirely British husband had made out of his savings. So now instead of being done with my taxes, I have to fill in the dreaded 8938 because of money that isn’t even mine. For a while I was angry at my husband, but it is really the U.S. government with all of its fiddly rules that is at fault.

Part 2 – “Married filing separately” – The default tax filing status for a U.S. citizen who is living outside the U.S. married to a “non-U.S. spouse”

In most cases the non-U.S. spouse would NOT want to be a “U.S. taxpayer”. Once understood, you will see that “married filing separately” is a hidden tax on Americans abroad. This means that the U.S. spouse will use the “married filing separately” filing status. The “married filing separately” is problematic for reasons that include:

– you will enter higher tax brackets at lower levels of income

– the requirements to file certain information returns (including From 8938) will be triggered at lower levels of income

– both the Alternative Minimum Tax and the Obamacare surtax will be triggered at lower levels of income.

Part 3 – Never, say never. There are always exceptions. In some cases, it may be advantageous to for the “non-U.S. spouse” to choose to enter the U.S. tax system and for the spouses to file “Married Filing Jointly”.

The above tweet references an interesting post by Phil Hodgen. Read it once. Read it twice. It presents some interesting tax planning opportunities. The context and title of the post is: “Why become a U.S. taxpayer after you renounce?

An excerpt includes:

Why would you want to do this?

Simply put, you would do this in order to re-balance assets between the U.S. citizen spouse and the spouse who renounced citizenship. The objective would be to get all of the highly appreciated assets into the name of the nonresident spouse, and get cash into the hands of the U.S. citizen spouse.

Make the election. Do the rebalancing of assets. Then revoke the election. Have the expatriate spouse sell the assets without capital gain.

In my example, the wife ends up with $500,000 cash, and the husband ends up with the real estate. If he terminates the election to be a resident alien for income tax purposes, he can then sell the real estate tax-free.

The moral of the story is that a marriage between a U.S. citizens and a non-U.S. citizen come with both problems and opportunities.

Brit drops its Chaucer bid

BRIT Insurance withdrew its bid for rival Lloyd’s of London insurer Chaucer Holdings yesterday, as private equity group Pamplona ramped up its assault on Chaucer by further boosting its stake.

Brit said the board of Chaucer had decided not to recommend its £220m offer – worth almost a third less than for the group’s book value – to shareholders, forcing it to withdraw its interest.

This now clears the way for Pamplona, the private equity group headed by Russian-born tycoon Alex Knaster, to pursue its target of acquiring a 29.9 per cent stake in the insurer. It said yesterday it has now bought a further 3.99m shares taking its total stake to 10 per cent.

In the wake of the Brit retreat, Chaucer issued a separate statement revealing its chief executive Ewen Gilmour and chief financial officer Mark Graham are quitting the firm.

Gilmour is to retire and Graham is leaving to pursue other opportunities, the group said.

The move follows a rollercoaster period for Chaucer, which had to raise £75m earlier this year and has been in talks with potential suitors since January, after taking a hit from investment exposure to hedge funds last year.

Fifa evade technology debate

FIFA remains defiant in its decision to oppose goal-line technology, despite even Prime Minister David Cameron adding to calls for it to be introduced.

Cameron joined the debate after Frank Lampard was denied a goal in Sunday’s 4-1 defeat by Germany when the ball had clearly crossed the line.

Fifa blocked any further experiments with technology at a meeting of the International FA Board in March, and stood its ground at a media briefing in Johannesburg yesterday.

Communications director Nicolas Maingot said: “We will not enter into any debate on refereeing at the daily media briefing. I am not competent to do so. The International FA Board dealt with this topic in March. A clear decision on the use of technology was taken at the time.”

IN&M extends debt 'standstill'

Independent News & Media has reached an agreement with creditors to extend a “standstill” agreement, giving the media organisation more time to negotiate a restructuring of its debt. The company said a deal had been struck with bondholders, allowing more time for talks on how to restructure a €200m (£170m) that was due for repayment in May.

The “standstill” agreement was due to expire tomorrow, but was extended after the bondholders rejected the company’s latest offer.

Natixis says it needs no fresh capital injection

FRENCH investment bank Natixis, which recently returned to profit after the financial crisis, does not need to raise capital to comply with Basel III solvency rules, its chief executive said yesterday.

“Internal studies allow us to conclude that we do not need to raise capital,” Laurent Mignon told a shareholders’ meeting when asked about the impact of the Basel III requirements.

The group’s chairman added that there were no plans to delist the bank, and a merger with its biggest shareholder BPCE was not on the cards.

“A withdrawal from the Bourse is not on the agenda,” Francois Perol said.

Perol is chairman of both BPCE and Natixis.

Groupe BPCE, formed through the 2009 merger of Banques Populaires and Caisses d’Epargne, has a 71.5 per cent stake in Natixis.

Natixis shares closed over five per cent higher yesterday, in line with a banking rally that pushed Societe Generale’s shares up 7.3 per cent.

Q. Dear Josh, what are the markets expected to be like during the World Cup?

A. If you were thinking that traders are likely to be keeping a close eye on the World Cup and that this could affect volumes, then you are right. Historically, the financial markets have tended to be particularly quiet during any major sporting event.

With the sovereign debt crisis still having a strong and volatile influence on the financial markets, this could deter even more traders this summer. But this could be dangerous – low volumes can make the markets even more volatile. So, if you are spread betting during this period you will need to think about risk management.

That said, this World Cup could be slightly different since it is taking place at a time when the markets have already sold off quite aggressively. The FTSE 100 lost as much as 14 per cent from its April high to last week’s low and the Spanish Ibex has lost 26 per cent. This could well keep traders interested, particularly if they feel that there are bargains to be had.

And let’s not forget the emergency Budget due out next week which will grab the attention of the market.

Q. Dear Josh, BP’s shares are very volatile. How can I protect myself if I am trading the stock?

A. BP’s shares fell to a new 13-year low last week, and by as much as 49 per cent since its April high, which is an aggressive loss. The best way to manage your risk in spread betting is to use a guaranteed stop loss. A stop loss is an order to close an existing trade at a specific level in the market determined by you. But a guaranteed stop loss means that, regardless of moves in the underlying price, your order will be closed out at the level requested, even if the market gaps. But be aware that guaranteed orders do carry a small extra charge.

Q. Dear Josh, what economic data is there to keep an eye out for this week?

A. Lots, is the answer. Today we have some EU industrial production figures, economic forecasts from the UK Office for Budget Responsibility and the Bank of England’s Quarterly Bulletin. Tomorrow, traders will be keeping an eye out for UK inflation data, German economic sentiment and the US Empire manufacturing survey.

We also have UK unemployment and US industrial production due out on Wednesday, while the monthly report from the European Central Bank, UK retail sales, US inflation, Philly Fed and UK public finances are all likely to keep everybody interested as the week draws to a close.

If the World Cup hasn’t swayed your focus, that is.

One of those odd and probably meaningless encounters. But …

Wednesday was a heartbreaking end-of-summer day. Beautiful. Perfect. But sad because even without looking at the weather report, you know you might not have another one like it for a long, long time.

So Ava and I took advantage as much as possible. I worked and read and knitted (another dragon) outdoors while she lounged and barked at the neighbors’ invading chickens (which they’ve given up attempting to keep in their hole-y yard).

In the afternoon, we took a long drive, followed by a walk along the river. And there we had one of those odd moments where it’s hard to know what to think of it.

Our walking path began in the city, next to sidewalks and commercial buildings. But it ends, after a short distance, on high riverbank in what feels like country.

We’d taken only a few steps down the path and I’d just let Ava off her leash when I saw a young man seemingly come out of nowhere, behind us on the trail. He looked like another walker. Normal-seeming guy wearing sweats. But as I moved to put Ava back on leash to let him go past us, the man plunged — violently rooted — into what I’d always thought was an impenetrable thicket at the opening of the trail. He made guttural noises as he did so. Well, I’d make noise, too. That’s all brambles and steep slopes in that spot.

A moment later, he was back on the path, again without me being able to observe where he’d come from. Then there he went, rooting into the thicket again. Finally he emerged onto the trail once more and strode determinedly out of sight. I had no way of knowing whether he’d gone off or was just on the other side of all that brush. Never in all this did he appear to notice my existence, though he looked right at me a couple of times.

Now I had a dilemma. This clearly wasn’t Mr. Normal, and whether he was harmless or not I didn’t care to be spending my lovely summer afternoon in his vicinity. But. The trail is on an old, raised railroad right-of-way and has only one exit — back beside that thicket. In a pinch, I could jump off the trail into the river or a muddy wetland. But if I wanted to leave in orderly fashion, I’d have to go right past that spot. Having no idea whether Mr. Strange was still there. Having no idea what Mr. Strange was up to. Maybe he was just a homeless guy with an encampment in the thicket. Maybe he was looking for his lost dog. Maybe he was a psycho lunatic. How would I know?

So I decided to heck with it. I’m armed. I’ll have my walk. Give him a chance to go away. And if he doesn’t go away, but comes down the trail, I’ll be able to see him in plenty of time.

So Ava and I walked to the end of the trail, where I sat on the ruins of an old railroad trestle and she ran circles around the trestle, wading in the river and getting happily muddy. I was never completely at ease, nor should I have been. I kept an eye on that trail. But I was able to enjoy the sun and the fresh aromas of the river, the grasses, and the old cedar tree near where I sat. I was able to stay as long as I liked, feeling reasonably confident because I knew I was equipped to handle the situation if there was any situation to be handled.

After half an hour or so, I put Ava back on leash to make sure she’d be at my side, headed back down the trail (laying my hand on the butt of my gun as we approached the thicket), and we walked uneventfully back to Old Blue. No sign of Mr. Strange. I noticed that somebody had punched an opening into the thicket where none had been before, so possibly there’s a mini-encampment down there now, or maybe a teenage make-out spot, or who knows what else (I’m never stumbling down that steep slope to check it out).

But once again, merely having a firearm and knowing I could defend myself made all the difference between Total Female Freakout and being able to be watchful but calm and happy.

This is the second time within the year that I’ve laid hand on the butt of my gun because a situation seemed hinky. In neither case did the hinkiness develop into anything more and perhaps neither situation ever would have. Both encounters may have been creepy but innocent. I’m glad not to have to trust the mercy of the fates on that issue, though. Even in low-crime small towns, stuff happens.

Don’t plan to use that bit of trail any time in the near future.

  1. Pat
    Pat September 30, 2016 10:34 am

    Wasn’t the same guy as the first time, was it? And Ava wasn’t disturbed by him?

    He could have been vomiting or otherwise indisposed in that thicket.

  2. Joel
    Joel September 30, 2016 10:40 am

    Well done, Claire! David felt safe in the Valley of the Shadow of Death, because he was the baddest mofo in the valley.

    I didn’t go to RW’s link but assume it’s some “for the children” hoplophobic law. Screw’em, any law that leaves you open to violence is only a cause to be more sneaky.

  3. Claire
    Claire September 30, 2016 10:59 am

    Pat — no, not the same guy. And Ava didn’t particularly react to him. He was maybe 25 yards away from us and she isn’t terribly reactive to human beings (though I’m sure she would react to an immediate threat — or a Chihuahua).

    I don’t think the guy was physically ill. He actions seemed very purposeful and deliberate, even though I couldn’t discern the purpose.

  4. Claire
    Claire September 30, 2016 11:02 am

    Joel — Thank you (though I am far from being the baddest mofo in any valley).

    RW’s link is to — yet another! — UN anti-gun treaty that will END VIOLENCE forever. Even in places like Congo and Sudan. Because NO BAD PEOPLE WILL EVER BE ABLE TO GET GUNS once governments control the firearms trade. The current Senate probably won’t ratify the silliness, but next year’s Senate might.

    Claire, I hope you are doing your dry fire practice, it doesn’t cost anything and makes a world of difference. You need to be practicing the very motion you will be using even to draw your weapon whereas it comes 2nd nature.

    Fear is something we all have to a certain degree, it is in our genes (maybe that is why our genes are still in the live pool too) but confidence relates to practice, the more we do it the more we are gonna to have it when we need it.

    Dry fire practice may be boring but I’ve seen huge differences in myself and others when we do. The main reason I work at training is because I know how much improvement I need, and it’s a bunch!

  6. John
    John September 30, 2016 11:25 am

    So it’s,
    “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for I am mentally alert and situationally aware. Besides, I am the meanest sob in the valley.”?

  7. Claire
    Claire September 30, 2016 11:50 am

    John — LOL! Yeah, that’s more like it. Except that I’d bet, push come to shove, that Ava is a meaner SOB than I am.

  8. Claire
    Claire September 30, 2016 11:56 am

    Comrade X — You caught me. I am, I confess, generally neglectful when it comes to drawing and firing practice.

    And yeah, I need improvement.

    As a local cop in my semi-rural semi resort East Coastal town told me after an incident, we’re not living in Kansas anymore.

    And I don’t think the people in Kansas are living in Kansas anymore, that’s where the meth labs are!

    You’re never overdressed with a pistol.

  10. MamaLiberty
    MamaLiberty September 30, 2016 2:02 pm

    Dry fire indeed! Mental imaging of possible scenes too, sometimes while you draw and simulate firing. Then take it to the range and verify with a few precious rounds. They work better together. 🙂

  11. M Ryan
    M Ryan September 30, 2016 2:03 pm

    Good for you Clair. I have known and dealt with people who would have freaked out in similar situations I have always maintained t is better to have and not need than to need and not have.

    Over the years I’ve had the “you should not have a gun” argument many times. I’m more convinced now then I ever have been that banning firearms does not prevent violent acts. Banning guns just enables the bullies and thugs on your block, in your town and in your government..

    Clair Wolfe – Forever ready to do bad things to bad people. Kinda has a nice ring to it, don’t ya think?

  12. RW
    RW September 30, 2016 2:12 pm

    Re the un small arms treaty, thinking it is new that the sec of state (Kerry) has signed it.
    “The main objective of the treaty is mandatory global gun registration. It does this by requiring signatories to report all firearms transfers, down to the level of “end users.” This is the backstory to the current push for “common sense gun laws” like “universal background checks,” or backdoor registration.”.
    This is not about tanks and cannons, its about us. I wouldn’t put money on this senate not going along, not to mention the usual payoffs, graft, etc.

  13. Comrade X
    Comrade X September 30, 2016 3:10 pm

    ML, I agree completely.

  14. LarryArnold
    LarryArnold September 30, 2016 6:47 pm

    I wouldn’t put money on this senate not going along, not to mention the usual payoffs, graft, etc.

    Well, they haven’t so far. If you check the source story Kerry signed the treaty Wednesday, September 25, 2013.

    Of course the first Dem-majority Senate might be another story. It does, though, take a 2/3rds vote.

  15. Claire
    Claire September 30, 2016 6:51 pm

    “Well, they haven’t so far. If you check the source story Kerry signed the treaty Wednesday, September 25, 2013.”

    Thank you, LarryA. I’ve been looking all evening for anything new that might have happened with the small-arms treaty or any similar new anti-gun treaty and have found nothing. Not sure why that commentary should appear now. Same old. Of course the point that WE are the ultimate target of this is spot on. But it’s not new news.

Pharoah Sanders – Healing Song

The first half of 2016 has been a really tough year on many fronts, but especially in terms of loss and grief. The events in Orlando a few days ago have many of us in the US depressed, angry, scared, confused and defiant all at the same time. As horrific as tragedies like this can be (and there will likely be many more tragedies, of smaller and greater scope, throughout the world and throughout our lives), the outpouring of compassion in their wake is often comforting. I often find hat music provides solace in these times and there are few songs that I turn to more than this song from Pharoah Sanders. From his live album recorded in 1971 at the venerable East in Brooklyn, New York City, “Healing Song,” is Sanders at his finest. While Sanders has often made great use of vocalists, the world-less chanting and voices here (credited to Harold Vic and Carlos Garnett, but I suspect there are others involved as well), right from the start give this song an almost otherworldly sound entirely all it’s own. I hope that sharing it will help to heal you and yours in trying times as it has continuously done for me.

Springtime in LA is Magical

Milton Nascimento & Lô Borges – O Trem Azul

Here in the States, it’s almost time for Memorial Day weekend, which is the unofficial start of Summer for us (even though it doesn’t actually start until June 20th)…but I’m not ready to give up this Spring. While we all know that eventually things are going to turn unbearably hot here in SoCal, right now we’ve been in the midst of breezy and cool May, almost an early version of June Gloom (a title I’ve always disliked, since the weather is like this all the time and I love it, but then again I’m depressed, so I’m used to “gloom”), with temperatures in the 70s and cool air all around. The kind of feelings generated by this kind of weather tend to be as breezy as the wind. Musically, there might not be a better representation for how this period of time feels than “O Trem Azul,” from the landmark Clube Da Esquina album released in 1972. Though credited to Milton Nascimento & Lô Borges the album (which I’ll likely feature here at a later date) is really a collective effort from the whole “Clube,” or collective of musicians associated with a particular location in Minas Gerais. Of late, I’ve had this on repeat, which involves a bit of effort, since until I got this post together I only had it on vinyl, so I’d have to get up and start the needle at the beginning again and again and again. But as soon as the song starts you understand why, and also why it so perfectly fits this moment of the year in LA.

Billy Paul – Let The Dollars Circulate

Before recently leaving town for Cuba, I’d meant to post something brief in tribute to Billy Paul, who passed at the age of 81 a little over a week ago. Just the day before his death I had finally run across this album, When Love Is New, at Amoeba (where against all hope, I also ran into the 12″ version of “Take Me With U” from Prince). I’d been looking for this album for years and years because it features my favorite Billy Paul song, eternally linked to one of Dilla’s greatest productions, “Let The Dollar Circulate.” As I sit and write this from Cuba, unable to get my money changed over because the banks are closed for fumigation (even the Hotel is out of money), the general message of the song still rings true. In fact, it could be a good anthem for ending the Embargo, since letting the Dollars circulate more freely would do a lot for the Cuban people and the Cuban economy, as long as it happens on their terms…sense of hope that this will happen is palpable in Havana and Santiago, and that, along with Paul’s passing, has kept this song in my mind of late.

Modrý Efekt & Radim Hladík – Cajovna

So…it seems it’s taken me a bit longer than I originally thought it would to get through all of that vinyl I picked up on my recent trip, but now that I’ve been through all of it, there definitely are a few records and tracks that stand out (most of which will end up in a mix I’ll post in the next couple of days), but probably the single track I’ve come back to the most in the two weeks I’ve been back home has been this one from the Czech band Modrý Efekt (Blue Effect), led by guitarist Radim Hladík. Part of why I was so excited to return to Spain, and especially to Discos Wah Wah in Barcelona, was access to not only Spanish, but other European music that we rarely see here in the States. Yes, most of these records can be found on the web somewhere, but nothing beats being able to browse the physical records, hold them, gaze at the artwork and ponder the sounds. “Cajovna” is perhaps the group’s most famous song, and deservedly so as you’ll hear, with it’s breezy proggish feel. It’s a song that sounds VERY familiar to me, and something that though I can’t confirm it online, must have been sampled previously by someone (a buddy of mine thought perhaps an Oddisee instrumental, something in me leans towards Madlib though), perhaps hearing it will cause one of you to recognize who has used it before, if so, let me know, so I can stop losing sleep over it…

Adrian Younge feat. Loren Oden – Sandrine

While it’s been four years since Adrian Younge released the first volume of “Something About April,” you can forgive the man for taking that long on a sequel, because he has been a truly busy fellow. Multiple collaborations with Ghostface Killah, Bilal, Laetitia Sadier and others have graced our ears in the ensuing years between these albums, and in that time Younge’s music has taken on a very specific retro-funk sound, very specifically read through a Hip-Hop mindset. This has led to Younge being one of the few contemporary artists who music is routinely sampled in Hip-Hop. But you could make a case that Younge’s music is best when it is completely his own vision. Something About April II certainly seems to provide ample evidence to that assertion, with more than a few songs that sound nothing like anything that Younge has produced thus far. The particularities of his sound are all there, but when you hear “Sandrine,” or “La Ballade” you could be easily convinced that it is another artist’s work, that’s how new and fresh some of this music sounds. I don’t know if we’ll have to wait another four years for Part 3 (lately Younge has been busy getting ready to open up a new Artform Studio in Highland Park, which now I think will now bring the total to six of LA’s finest record stores being within 5 minutes of each other), but I sincerely hope he doesn’t wait that long to immerse us within his own personal musical world. This album is definitely a strong early contender for my “Best of 2016.”

KING – The Right One

When KING debuted their self-released video and music for “The Story,” they started a legitimate phenomena. At that time, all the way back in 2011, it seemed that all of the best new indie/future soul music was being made by Europeans like Quadron and Little Dragon. KING’s music and their vocal harmonies set thousands of people’s hearts aflame, and they garnered quick and deep appreciation from heavy-hitters like Phonte Coleman, Erykah Badu and even his purple highness Prince. One of my absolute finest and most cherished moments was bringing in the trio to record a session on KPFK, and of all of the sessions we did, there is no doubt that that particular one was the most downloaded and most shared on the web. The world had to wait a seemingly endless four years after “The Story” dropped for the full-length debut to finally be released, but that wait is now finally over with the release of We Are King. It’s fitting that the release came just ahead of Valentine’s Day, since virtually every song covers matters of love. The band has re-recorded new versions of most of the songs we knew already, adding new elements to “The Story,” “Hey” and “Supernatural” and introducing us to other songs that fans had only previously heard in their live performances in LA and elsewhere. Sometimes I find it hard to describe exactly why a certain son or artist moves me in a particular way…that is not the case with KING. Musically there are definitely elements in Paris Strother’s production that recall the late 1980s/early 1990s, but the way she weaves layer upon layer upon layer of sound is distinctive and a wonder in it’s own right. The vocal harmonies produced by Amber, Anita & Paris are some of the absolute sweetest I’ve ever heard…EVER! The result is a music that envelops the listener completely, into silky pillows of sound, softly soothing but never allowing you to drift away. The music of KING holds you in it’s lovely embrace and now that we’ve finally gotten our first release, the only question is when we’ll get more, because that ultimately is the feeling you get when the debut has finished, please let there be more…and please, Paris, Amber and Anita, don’t make us wait quite so long for what comes next.

Orchestre Poly-Rythmo – Min We Tun So

As you’ll see once we move into 2016 proper, there will be many changes to this blog now that I’m connected to a radio station or radio show, and likely won’t be in the foreseeable future. One of those changes is that I’ll likely not be posting as much newer music. For pretty much the entirety of this blog’s close to 6 and 1/2 years, “In Heavy Rotation” has been about showcasing newer music that I was especially digging. From here on out, it’s likely to be a category that sticks more truly to the concept, being the things that I’m listening to more than anything else that week or month. It’s possible anything might find it’s way in here, including songs that I’ve shared before, but likely under a very different context. That’s the case with this song, from Orchestra Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou. This is a song that I’ve talked quite a bit about, featured before, and even played it on my last show at KPFK. But it wasn’t until fairly recently that I actually picked up a vinyl copy of the collection, which I was very happy to find included translations from Fon into English. It’s always fascinating hearing music from languages that you don’t understand, which forces you to relate to the music “itself.” What’s equally as fascinating to me is how the songs that seem to resonate most turn out to be the ones with very satisfying lyrics and messages, which is absolutely the case with “Min We Tun So” (which translates to “Who Knows The Future?”). Based on the lyrics above I think you’ll agree this seemed like a pretty close to perfect song to close out 2015 with as we move forward to 2016.

Dexter Story – Lalibela

One of the unfortunate realities of no longer doing a radio show is that I don’t feel much pressure to keep up with new releases. But here at the end of the year, with “Best Of” lists on everyone’s mind, it’s a nice period of time to play catch up on Fall releases and anything else that might have slipped through the cracks. I’d heard some of Dexter Story’s new release, Wondem, but hadn’t really spent much time with the record to form any real opinion of the record. NOw that I’ve got some down time, with the end of the semester and the holidays, I can fully get on board with Story’s album. Given Story’s history with the LA collective Ethio-Cali, it’s perhaps no surprise that much of the inspiration for Wondem is clearly in East Africa, but it’s in the way the elements come together, in a thoroughly contemporary way. When I heard about the record before actually hearing the record I expected something much more along the lines of Ethio-Cali, with very clear Mulatu Astatke references, but Wondem is something else entirely, drawing on a variety of sounds to create one of the more enjoyable listening experiences of 2015.

As a bonus, Story has created some short films/videos culled from time spent in Ethiopia, in this case for the song “Merkato Star”:

Gloria Ann Taylor – Deep Inside Of You

A compilation far too long overdue, Luv n’ Haight has collected the music that singer Gloria Ann Taylor recorded for her own (and husband Walt Whisenhunt) record label Selector Sound. Taylor cut a few sides elsewhere, but never hit it big. Several of these sides, “Love Is A Hurtin’ Thing,” “World That’s Not Real” and both the 7-inch and 12-inch versions of “Deep Inside You” have been much beloved by fans of rare soul and funk. The original 12″ for “Deep Inside You” is a bit of a holy grail release, fetching big time money on the open market. There was a reissue of that release recently, but this one has the full cooperation of the artist and is the most definitive release compiling this work. Of particularly interest to me, and something I suspected, is the clear and distinct influence of Dale Warren. While Walt Whisenhunt deserves a good deal of credit for the sound of these songs, it’s undeniable that the two tracks touched by Dale Warren, “World That’s Not Real” and the 7-inch version of “Deep Inside Of You” have a sound all their own. The 12-inch version of “Deep” sounds as if it’s the exact same recording, with the drums dropped out and some disco drums dropped in to excellent effect. Most definitely a sound that reaches deep inside of you, and one of the major highlights of 2015.

Bruce & Vlady – Blue Variations

There really was a time, bot to long ago where I thought we’d run out of “rare grooves,” and such. It seems comic now, but it was something I believed. Instead as the years have passed, there’s been more and more funky material dug up and reintroduced through many fine reissue labels, so much that I can’t even keep track of it all. Vampi Soul has long been one of my favorite labels, and a couple months ago they sent me a real doozie of a record. Bruce and Vlady’s “The Reality” is the kind of record you dream of finding while diggin’ in the crates. It’s deep, soooooooooooooooooooo very deep. It’s so incredibly deep that I was pretty shocked in hearing it that I’d never heard anything from this album before. Apparently it was a Swedish only release, which seems odd given that Bruce came from the States and Vlady was a Polish drummer. But Hansson & Karlsson had already made a name for themselves as a organ and drums duo by this period of time, so there might have been a market for this over there. I’m just thankful that someone had the good sense to put some mics in gront of these two dudes and give us a taste of their “reality.” One of my fave reissues, not only of this year, but of the last several years.

'Hood' Cornelius Quabeck
Monograph, 2007

Publication about the work of the artist Cornelius Quabeck. The wrapped sections isolate the different bodies of work and suggest continuity; as if another section could easily be added. The wrappers also function as information-holders, the captions don't have to appear on the works it self. In this way, reinforced by placing the images with overfill on the page, the paintings stand on their own.

Initiating and Receiving instant payments

More and more companies worldwide are demanding payment transactions without any delay. Some countries have local instant payment standards already. Now new initiatives have been started. The EPC introduced “SEPA Inst”, a new scheme for instant payments in Europe. SWIFT already works on global solutions. Based on these initiatives, instant payments, also called ‘real-time’ or ‘immediate’ payments, might become the ‘new normal’ in transaction banking over time.

The advantages for companies are obvious: immediate and last-minute payments help the banks’ treasurers and their counterparts on customer site to gain more transparency and control over liquidity and cash management. The immediate confirmations between payers and payees additionally facilitate new interactions in buying and selling processes.

CoCoNet’s digital banking solutions will support the associated front-end processes and related routing workflows. Thus, MULTIVERSA products are the perfect and convenient digital banking solution to send and receive instant payments.

MULTIVERSA IFP users can initiate instant payments easily via the payment entry form. After authorisation, the system sends the payment directly to the bank’s back-end and gets the response immediately within a few seconds.

MULTIVERSA IFP informs the user about the positive or negative status of the transaction.

MULTIVERSA IFP presents incoming instant payments immediately in the cash management reports, next to the current intraday reports.

Users can set an alert to get immediate information about incoming instant payments via SMS, for example.

With the support of immediate payments in MULTIVERSA IFP banks can support new innovative business models of their corporate customers.

The digital banking server MULTIVERSA IBS will process instant payments according to the different standardisations and demands.

The system enables the entry of instant payments through various access channels (EBICS, web services, etc.). MULTIVERSA IBS immediately performs the necessary checks: access, format validation, account permission, maximum amount, double entry and authorisation; and routes the instant payment to the bank’s back-end system via a bank-specific real-time interface. Optional further checks are possible, e.g. AML, embargo and account coverage.

MULTIVERSA IBS accepts the execution confirmation of the instant payments from the bank’s back-end system via the bank-specific real-time interface and returns the processing result immediately to the customer.

With MULTIVERSA IBS there is no need for the bank to implement a customer-bank interface, and it ensures the permissibility and correctness of the payment.

Stain-Resistant Carpeting Offered to Lansing, MI, Residents from Flooring America Carpet Studio

September 07 00:24 2017
This fall season, homeowners looking to redecorate can save on select Stainmaster carpet flooring at Flooring America Carpet Studio. Serving clients in Lansing, MI, this flooring store helps customers make their stain-resistant carpeting purchases more affordable by offering up to $500 on select styles.

Homeowners typically want quality products at affordable prices whenever they renovate their properties. Flooring America Carpet Studio makes it easy to stay within budget by hosting a Refresh Your Home for Fall event. During this limited time offer, customers can save up to $500 on select Stainmaster carpet styles.

While many people love the classic look of hardwood or tile, carpet flooring has benefits you can’t find in hard-surfaced floors. It’s great for homes with young children or accident-prone people because its increased friction prevents more slips and falls.

Carpets also help insulate a room in terms of both temperature and sound. With a higher degree of temperature insulation, homeowners won’t have to spend as much as they’re used to on their monthly utility bills. Plus, the sound insulation creates a quieter, more peaceful environment.

The problem some people have with carpets is that they stain too easily. However, quality brands like Stainmaster repel stains and soil, keeping the surface up to 30% cleaner than traditional carpet floors. They’re also strong, resilient, and versatile.

People who want to purchase Stainmaster may think carpeting like this is too expensive. But during the Refresh Your Home for Fall event, Flooring America Carpet Studio makes this stain-fighting product available at a much lower price. Even the brand’s line of PetProtect carpets, which guard against pet stains, are included in this offer.

Flooring America Carpet Studio ensures customers’ new Stainmaster carpets have optimized performance by offering installation services from an in-house team. This way, homeowners can take full advantage of the brand’s stain-repelling abilities.

Call (517) 351-6310 or visit the store’s website to learn more about the Refresh Your Home for Fall sale. The showroom welcomes customers from Lansing, Haslett, Mason, Holt, and Okemos, Michigan, as well as the surrounding areas.
