Will Virtual Currencies Get a "Safe Harbor"?
Some venture capitalists (VCs) and entrepreneurs are lobbying federal regulators so that virtual currencies won't be classified as securities.
As I discussed in this blog, bitcoin is the best-known and most popular virtual currency, but it's far form the only one. Hundreds of new virtual currencies are being launched every month, often via a process called an "initial coin offering" (ICO).
White Papers
An ICO is usually marketed via a document (called a "white paper) that's supposed to explain how the virtual currency will work and why it's being issued.
Many white papers are written (intentionally or not) in a way that most potential investors will find incomprehensible.
The federal Securities Act and Securities Exchange Act regulate securities.
But what's a "security"? And do virtual currencies qualify?
To determine whether something is a security, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applies what's called the Howey Test. Under this test, an offering is a security if:
- It's an investment of money
- There's an expectation of profits from the investment
- The investment of money is in a common enterprise
- Any profit comes from the efforts of a promoter or third party
To the surprise of many in the cryptocurrency field, almost all ICO's are considered securities.
Shock and Surprise
According to the Wilson Sonsini law firm,
There apparently has been significant shock and surprise over recent reports that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a large number of subpoenas to initial coin offering (ICO) issuers and to ICO gatekeepers who may have been involved in token transactions that potentially did not comply with the federal securities laws. To a large extent, this shock and surprise is shocking and surprising. The SEC has been as clear as it knows how to be that it believes virtually all tokens (and simple agreements for future tokens, or SAFTs) are securities for purposes of the federal securities laws.
Safe Harbor
As reported by the New York Times, VCs and entrepreneurs are trying to create a "safe harbor" for some virtual currencies — free of SEC regulation.
The "Venture Capital Working Group" met with the SEC in Washington in March. The Group seeks to have some virtual currency tokens categorized as "utility tokens" rather than securities.
As the Times explains,
Thousands of virtual currencies have been created through so-called initial coin offerings in which entrepreneurs sold digital tokens to raise money for their projects. The tokens are generally intended to serve as internal payment methods in software that the entrepreneurs are building.
Silicon Valley
For example, such tokens were a plot point in the most recent series of the HBO series Silicon Valley.
Entrepreneurs have raised more than $6 billion using ICOs, the Times reports.
The tokens, or coins, are mostly traded on unregulated virtual exchanges.
The chairman of the SEC has said that he believes that almost all ICOs should be registered as securities, but almost none are at the moment.
If an ICO is considered a security, then rather than merely sharing the opaque technobabble in many white papers, issuers will need to comply with federal disclosure requirements.

GLOBAL Geopolitical-Macroeconomic-Investment OUTLOOK: Danger ahead in Fall 2015
By Christian Takushi MA UZH, An integrated Outlook for Geopolitics, Economics and Financial Markets
On August 1st we gave a last warning to clients and faithful followers to take steps to protect themselves, their businesses and portfolios over the next 10 weeks. Specifically to reduce stocks & the USD; in order to increase CHF cash, EUR cash and Gold. Based on our proprietary geopolitical-macroeconomic research we are convinced the world may see a crisis between Mid August to Mid October 2015.
Despite aggressive monetary and energy policies, the US economy seems to have peaked in the 2nd half of 2014. In our analysis the ideal time to begin normalizing interest rates has come and gone – it was Q3 2014. The FED Chair, Mrs. Yellen, may have put herself under pressure to raise rates at the worse possible time from a global geopolitical perspective: Fall 2015. The implications are far-reaching for US economic, energy, currency and foreign policy. Had the FED not overestimated US Potential Growth and not underestimated global geopolitical risks from 2015 onwards, it would have used the economic momentum of 2014 to begin normalizing rates. Now renewed money printing and currency devaluation by China, EU and Japan makes a FED rate hike a tough sell. With many economies facing the implosion of their labor force (deflationary) and an inflation buildup outside CPI baskets (bonds, equities, real estate etc) the FED should actually be ready and able to cut interest rates.
In May 2015 our Global Risk Barometer climbed to a reading of 9 (1-10) for the first time since 2008, indicating that conditions are present for a global crisis. Nevertheless our Global Risk Overlap Methodology (GROM) does not predict the exact trigger nor timing. Roughly two months later our Level of Alertness (or LEVAL) for Business & Investment Operations was also raised to 4 (5 – 1). LEV-AL 4 indicates that business owners and investors should prepare for limited disruptions to operations. Our LEVAL was designed for the economy in the same way DEFCON was designed for the military.
Obsessed with CPI, FED creates financial bubbles and puts a cap on growth: As we have been saying since 2010 the zero rate policy of central banks is having the opposite desired effect: after the first 2-3 years it actually leads firms to stop investing and to rather produce artificial profits (EPS) by borrowing money to buy back shares and other financial transactions. Thus, the FED, ECB and BOJ are depressing economic growth and reinforcing deflation. Even the Vice President of the FED of St Louis, Stephen Williamson, has boldly stated the FED policies have failed and are counterproductive: http://www.cnbc.com/2015/08/18/st-louis-fed-official-no-evidence-qe-boosted-economy.html
Fact is, deflation is driven by powerful forces such as demographics and printing money recklessly can't fix that nor the structurally flawed labor market. Specially not when your target is a government- managed political basket (CPI). Inflation outside the CPI has been too high over the past 5 years. The FED missed to normalize rates in 2014 and can hardly raise rates now. It is not too early as Mrs. Yellen says, it is too late.
FED and banks are enjoying zero rates for 7 years and say we can't raise rates to even 0.5%, because the economy has not reached its Potential Growth yet (i.e. it has not fully recovered). But as U.S. Commerce Department data reveals the U.S. has been only growing by 2% since 2011. And if you calculate GDP per capita, then US growth was even lower. Thus, consensus has been overestimating Potential Growth, arguing that as long as Americans can't find enough well paid jobs, rates should be zero. But this could be flawed for three reasons: 1) the consensus view takes little account of the high levels of tension and uncertainty in the global geopolitical & macroeconomic landscape; in that global context the U.S. performance is formidable and above other developed economies – Europe and Japan would dream of 2% steady growth; 2) The inability of many Americans to find better paid jobs is a structural issue that bankers can barely solve. The longer the FED tries to support a labor market that suffers from a flawed education, business and tax system, the longer politicians will delay the painful changes. Changes that could normalize profits at big businesses used to lobby lawmakers. 3) In their desire to analyze abundant data, many economists look too much backwards on labor and inflation data. Although difficult, economists should make every effort to better estimate Potential Growth. This includes monitoring global trends and looking forward to assess future risks to businesses and investors.
7 years into this extreme zero rate policy, its negative moral, political and economic side-effects outweigh the advantages. While Policy Makers receive praise for singlehandedly orchestrating a huge rally in bonds, equities and the USD over recent years, the financial system is entering a geopolitically vulnerable period with key central bank rates at zero. Thus, policy makers lack their most effective monetary tool to stabilize the economy in case of a systemic risk event. We reiterate that GDP growth in key economies will be much weaker than expected during the period of September 2015 and March 2016. Instead of 3% to 3.5% annual growth pace expected by IMF and most banks, it may be barely 1% to 2% annualized growth.
1) GLOBAL GEOPOLITICAL OUTLOOK (GROM 9: conditions for crisis now given)
The new course of US foreign policy pushed forward by the Obama administration – despite internal opposition – is the single most important event driving global geopolitics since 2010.President Obama has significantly downgraded the security of former Arab allies and Israel in order to reshape the Middle East, gain full access to Iranian Gas/Oil and build a stronger Islamic world. One around Turkey-Iran, both led by Islamic ideologists, perceived as radical by many Muslims and intellectuals in moderate Sunni-Arab states. Iran's expansion in the Middle East is gathering pace: It now controls to a large extent Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza and the masses across Sunni Arab states.
GROM 9: Following policy moves by Western states our Global Geopolitical Risk Barometer rose in May to 9 (1 to 10) for the first time since 2008. Our Global Risk Overlap Methodology (GROM) encompasses 20 geopolitical-macroeconomic factors, but does not forecast the exact trigger nor timing. We can only say that the conditions are given for a major global crisis.
This U.S. backed expansion of Iran, coupled with Obama's refusal to demand that Iran takes back her annihilation threats against Sunni Arab states and Israel, will lead inevitably to a large scale war. Fearful Sunni Arab states asked Israel to take out Iranian nuclear installations for their own common sake, but Israel declined to avoid a total breakdown of relations with the White House. Now, Arab states are seeking their own nuclear weapons and ballistic capabilities to defend themselves. Unlike the West, Arab leaders take Iran's threats seriously and will not be blinded by public offers of peace in front of Western media. As a result of the daring Obama policy all states in the Middle East are seeking military agreements with the USA, Russia, China, Turkey, Pakistan etc. "Everyone for himself" means the arms race will now accelerate. Formerly unconditional U.S. allies like Egypt and Israel are approaching Russia for their security. The Obama strategy aims at securing Northern Iraq and Northern Syria in order to give NATO full access to Iran Gas/Oil. This means the fate of Syria has been sealed and the war there will now die down.
Although Iran has been under a major U.N. arms embargo, Western powers have systematically looked away while China, Brazil and Turkey delivered goods and weapons to it. No surprise that large Emerging Nations feel emboldened by the West's weakness. Obama's Iran Deal means Iran's Islamic militias & terror organizations will have full access to hard currency to upgrade their weapons. Hizbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad will have finances and freedoms they could only dream of for decades. The 5-year-long destabilization of Sunni-Arab states (the White House helped remove their leaders, thrusting those nations into chaos) and the simultaneous backing of Turkey & Iran by President Obama puts the Middle East on course for a radicalized Islamic World.
USA is using both ultra low interest rates and ultra low oil prices as geopolitical-economic weapons to bring US-defiant Emerging Powers (China, Russia, Brazil etc) under control. Zero rates and QE have targeted BRICS' flawed monetary systems and their unhealthy credit markets. The U.S. has taken advantage of Russia's preoccupation with Ukraine to court and win over Russia's key ally in the Middle East, Iran. Flooding the oil market to keep oil prices very low was also necessary to bring Iran to the table and to send Russia's economy into a crisis. In light of so many risks, India's less aggressive foreign policy is attracting investments away from China.
The 2nd most significant event in geopolitics is the steady retreat of Great Britain from the global military landscape. Europe can't defend herself without Britain nor can Britain support the U.S. the way it did for 100 years. China, Japan and Russia are filling the void.
Although economists warn since 2010 that Greece is a failed and bankrupt economy, EU politicians are giving over EUR 30'000'000'000 to Athens again. Money that will never be repaid. But rather than reforming, Greece gets more money from the Troika to repay due loans to the same Troika. An economic and political farce of unprecedented proportions at the expense mainly of German and British taxpayers. The Greek people would do better by exiting, defaulting and reassuming their self-responsibility for their future. Political leaders and mainstream media will have to redouble their mis-information to convince UK voters not to exit the EU. A union of abused solidarity, trimmed self-responsibility (entitlement-thinking) and rising default risks. The longer Greece stays in the Eurozone, the higher the risk of a UK exit of the EU. A UK exit could trigger a German Exit. Consensus is complacent about a Brexitand in denial about a Gerxit.
Berlin will try to connect the Greece solution with the UK exit question, in order to increase pressure on reform-reticent EU nations (that want no change to the status-quo as they receive some 1'000 million euros a month in transfers) to accept a partial reform of the EU treaty. The EU can digest an exit of Greece, but not a UK exit. The UK is the only serious military power in the EU and vital to EU's global geopolitical aspirations. The UK is the largest ally of Germany for Market Economy, Fiscal Discipline and Reforms. Austerity without reforms lead no-where.
Tensions in the Middle East are rising and will reach a mid-term climax in September 2015. It is very likely that a major global crisis will be sparked between mid-August and mid-October 2015.
2) GLOBAL MACROECONOMIC OUTLOOK (Lev-Al 4: disruptions to business and investment operations are likely)
The world economy is growing at a 3.3% annual pace and the IMF expects it to accelerate to 3.8% in 2016. Although I agree economic momentum is gathering pace, I see the growing likelihood of a sharp decline in global economic growth in Q4 2015 from 3.3% to 2.5%. The shock could continue until spring 2016.
Currently the world economy is split in 3 distinct groups: (1) Developed nations in crisis mode but edging higher; (2) Large Emerging Nations like the BRICS slowing down below 5%, (3) by far the best group comprises developing and smaller emerging nations, many of which are growing at 3-5% p.a. In fact, 2/3 of mankind live in growing economies. Our prediction that large Emerging Economies would be in serious trouble has come true since 2013.
Expecting the first rate hike by the FED, many investors overlooked the rise in US interest rates in relative terms over the past year -magnified by a 32% rise in the USD vs key trading partners over three years. Main reason why we expect Europe to beat estimates in 2015 while the US slows down.
As we have maintained since 2010 the FED is depressing growth and contributing to low CPI, and a too-cautious FED has missed the ideal time to begin normalizing interest rates (that was Q3 2014). Markets will be caught by surprise if the FED hikes rates earlier or later than September. As a result US policy makers are trying to restart the US economy this summer. If a crisis or weak data hits before the rate hike, this overly cautious FED may call off the rate hike, triggering a USD sell-off. Traders have been buying the USD in expectation of a rate hike since 2012.
The zero rate policy of central banks is having the opposite desired effect: after the first 2-3 years it actually is leading firms to stop investing and to rather produce artificial profits (EPS) by borrowing money to buy back shares and other financial transactions. Thus, the FED, ECB and BOJ are depressing economic growth and reinforcing deflation. Even the Vice President of the FED of St Louis, Stephen Williamson, has boldly stated the FED policies have failed and are counterproductive:
Fact is, deflation is driven by powerful forces such as demographics and printing money recklessly can't fix that nor the structurally flawed labor market. Specially not when your target is a government- managed political basket (CPI). Inflation outside the CPI has been too high over the past 5 years.
Consensus seems too complacent on a "long USD, short Euro" view. We believe the USD is over-extended and we've been expecting a moderation since June, but have been obviously too early on this call. The Euro could surprise investors and recover swiftly if the EU accepts partial reforms of the EU treaty, something we expect Berlin will push through to satisfy UK voters.
As large emerging economies weaken and developed economies try to support growth with artificial asset price inflation, frontier and mid-sized emerging economies are proactively adjusting policies and laying the ground for continued growth. Some of the most pro-market measures of recent years were neither found in G7 economies nor BRICS, but in smaller emerging economies. Organic sustainable growth can be found in some younger economies (group 3).
We keep our outlook expressed in Q1 2015: The European economy will do better than expected in 2015, but the Autumn crisis will stop it. The USA and Japan will disappoint as artificial asset price inflation needs ever larger doses. The UK may cool down under the uncertainty of a possible Exit of Great Britain (Brexit) from the European Union and rekindled calls for Scottish independence. The uncertainty will also weigh on the British Pound. We keep still our 3-year-old Negative Outlook on most Large Emerging Economies. They are suffering, because they were spoiled by investors seeking simply "size" instead of "fundamentals". Investors went for the largest market, the largest population, the biggest so and so, all the way ignoring that most of these nations are far away from having a Free Market Economy and the transparency of a democracy.
Looking ahead we reiterate that GDP growth in key economies might be much weaker than expected during the period of September 2015 and March 2016. Instead of 3% to 3.5% annual growth pace expected by IMF and most banks, it may be barely 1% to 2% annualized growth depending on the severity of the global crisis, extent of the market crash and policy response. The FED, ECB and BOJ lack their most effective tool to support the economy: being able to cut key interest rates.
Despite multiple challenges, mid-sized economies like Nigeria, Peru, Colombia and Indonesia should fare better than the large EM's. Investors remain too pessimistic about Russia, and too optimistic about Thailand. Longer term though, the USA should be the most dynamic major economy (followed by Germany) powering ahead of the rest, specially vs China. This, provided the USA can avoid a large-scale disaster and breakdown of social order. Something the US military and FEMA are preparing for with vast mobilization of resources. China will be digesting the doubling of her demographic dependency ratios (old to young), which will choke discretionary consumption. Watch China import data. Thailand, Chile, Taiwan among other economies will see a similar implosion of their labor force, thrusting these nations into political instability and lower economic growth. Mid to long term the implosion of the Labor Force and the dramatic deterioration of the Old-to-Working Dependency Ratios in key economies such as China, Japan, Germany etc will weigh significantly on discretionary consumption, corporate profit margins and economic growth. Thus, potential economic growth will experience a renewed decline. The U.S. FED has been overestimating U.S. Potential Growth over the past 5 years; one of the reasons it failed to raise rates earlier.
Given the widespread negative sentiment on the whole commodity complex, related economies and currencies in recent years, a technical rebound in these currencies and economies is possible at any time.
While official CPI figures remain muted, inflation among asset prices outside of CPI baskets has been too high – driven by excessive money-printing. Asian giants China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are exporting deflation to Europe and USA.
WARNING: on 15 July 2015 our Global Business Risk was raised to LEV-AL Status 4, see details below. Businesses and investors should be aware that some disruptions to their operations are possible and prepare accordingly.
(With GROM 9 and LEV-AL 4 in place a significant correction is likely)
(this is only for qualified and seasoned investors – if you are not one, please, consult your financial and investment adviser before taking any decisions)
Against the backdrop of our two risk barometers deteriorating in recent weeks (crisis possible and businesses could experience limited disruptions) our Geopolitical and Economic Scenarios lead me to call for a cautious investment stance for the remainder of Q3 and Q4.
Given that cash can be opportunity cost, I reduce the time span for caution to the minimum: From mid-August to mid-October 2015 global investors should prioritize Capital Protection. They should consider reducing unnecessary risks, reducing structured products (i.e. capital guaranteed products) and derivatives. A well diversified and simply structured portfolio is more optimal in crises than an over- diversified one full of products depending on the issuer's credit rating. More specifically investors should consider reducing USD and Equity exposure in order to increase Cash, Swiss Franc exposure and Gold (at these depressed levels). If a global investor has an overweight in USD vs an underweight in EUR and has benefitted the past three years from it, now would be a good time to consider begin shifting from USD into EUR, step by step of course.
Short term the USD has the biggest downside of all major currencies, followed by the British Pound. Policy makers and major banks "pushed down" gold via financial transactions, partly to increase their gold reserves at lower prices. Do not trust official gold reserves data – we have credible indications many central banks have been buying more gold than what they report. And with no independent audits at central banks, I prefer to be a cautious skeptical economist. Many see the Swiss Franc as the top safe haven currency in case of a global crisis, but they miss one important type of event: large scale military conflicts. The USA being the only world military super-power would make the USD the top safe haven currency should such an event unfold. But we are not expecting events of that magnitude during Fall 2015.
Longer term: After all big central banks from the USA, Europe, Japan… to China have reverted to massive money printing to keep economic growth going rather than addressing structural problems, all major currencies are debased. With highly diluted inherent values, major currencies are now being driven by unstable growth and inflation expectations. The most vulnerable sector of the world economy is the global financial market. Fewer firms want to depend on bank-credit as they use their own free cash-flow to grow and their internal financial operations to shield themselves against undercapitalized banks.
Inflated asset prices: The major rally of the USD on the back of an unprecedented inflation in asset prices – driven by policy makers, leaves financial markets vulnerable and dependent on policy makers' ability to normalize monetary policy without unleashing asset price corrections and a steep recession. Rather than allowing the economy to shrink from 2008 to 2013 as excessive consumption normalized, policy makers kept consumption going by orchestrating a 6-year rally in asset prices. Now, bond and equity prices look vulnerable. If we adjust corporate earnings for share-buy backs and extraordinarily low borrowing rates, they look fully priced if not stretched. Especially when you know that Discretionary Consumption in large consumer economies will suffer over the next ten years due to a fast deterioration of the Age Dependency Ratios. Compared and plotted to the VIX Volatility the Equity Market also looks somewhat vulnerable. My guess is that both Volatility and Equity prices could normalize and trend back to their historical means, thus volatility could spike and equity prices drop.
As geopolitical, macroeconomic and financial forces converge in the 2nd Half 2015 a significant correction in risk assets (equity markets etc) is likely during Mid August to Mid September 2015. Stock markets could correct by as much as 25% to 50% over the next 24 months depending on policy makers' response. We think prudent institutional investors, pension managers, decision makers and governments should prepare for it. Not only by proactively reducing risk exposures and readying contingencies plans, but also by being ready to increase exposure to risk assets (i.e. quality U.S. stocks, Swiss Confederation bonds ..) in the aftermath of a correction. Company executives could for instance protect their "war chest" and track the firms they would like to buy during such a correction or crisis.
I am not just foretelling a crisis this Fall, all I do is to stress that many of the things I'm monitoring and analyzing point to the high probability of such an event. Conditions are given, but something has to trigger it still. Possible triggers are in place, but which and when depends on complex interactions beyond one single person's or even nation's ability to control.
WARNING: on 15 July 2015 our Global Business Risk was raised to LEV-AL Status 4, see details below. Businesses and investors should be aware that some disruptions to their operations are possible and prepare accordingly.

THE mountain has been a source of clean water for drinking, bathing and washing among villagers in the lowlands not just in the past but probably today as well.
The lofty area is also believed to be a habitat for at least 30 species of amphibians and 19 species of reptiles, of which 14 are endemic to Borneo. At least 20 species of birds, 22 species of mammals, 86 species of butterflies and 1,178 species of plants are said to belong to some 69 families in the vicinity.
Moreover, there are about 150 groups of under-storey plants found within the mountain which can be used for landscaping, medicinal purposes, timber and handicrafts.
Located between Bau and Matang, Mount Singai was the abode of the Bisingai for more than 400 years before the villagers moved down to the lowlands in the early 1970's.
Legend has it that the Bidayuh Singai settlers at Mount Singai in the early 1800's were from Kalimantan. They left because of frequent attacks by their enemies, and were looking for a place to start a new settlement. Their choice was Mount Singai where they established their villages about a quarter-way up the mountain for better protection. The steep slope provided an impregnable buffer against attacks.
In the early days, the villages — Daun, Moti, Puot, Sajong, Saga, Somu, Sudoh and Tuben — were situated close to each other, yet separately administered under a village chief. The overall leader was the Orang Kaya Pemanca, locally referred to as Raja, a ruler of great power and influence.
The people practised paganism where Gawai Adat was then the Bisingai's religion. It was based on the worship of the ancestral spirit called Ieng Sumuk Ieng Babai. The people also believed in supreme beings and had some faint idea of God.
Along the pathways and in their farms, they were said to have planted fruit trees and cash crops, resulting in a mosaic of secondary forests and gardens while the forests higher up in the mountain were left untouched till now.
Mount Singai with its unique flat summit is, indeed, an iconic landmark gracing the skyline.
Today, the Bidayuhs from Mount Singai have moved down and resettled in villages called Sagah, Bobak Tengah, Browing, Daun, Sinibung, Tanjong Bowang, Tanjong Poting, Atas, Sudoh, Apar. There have been repeated calls by the Bisingai for the mountain to be protected in order to preserve the social system, cultures and traditions of the community.
A lot of folklore, arts and crafts — basket, mats, traps and the like — need to be conserved and only by safeguarding nature at Mount Singai can these cultural treasures of the Bidayuhs be perpetuated.
Climb up Mt Singai
Together with my family, I recently made a day trip to Bau to ascend Mount Singai and see for myself the surrounding natural habitants and the flora and fauna.
For me, the forests in the area truly present an excellent opportunity for biodiversity and forest succession studies.
Along the belian plankwalk and stairway on the way up, we could see lots of large bamboo plants, tapang trees, palm (Arenga Sp) or 'njuok' in Bidayuh, ferns, wild flowers and fruit trees, especially durian and langsat, among others.
While taking a short break at one of the stations, I imagined what could possibly be around the entire mountain far beyond the Singai area. Perhaps, the forests are still rich in resources like the numerous ancient tapang trees and other huge hardwoods, fruit trees, bamboo for home flooring and walls and rattan for baskets and mats.
I also believe there are many more 'njuok' palms which produce a juice call 'tuak njuok,' normally consumed by men while socialising.
Checking out the area undoubtedly gives one greater insight into the history of Mount Singai — the cultures, the original settlements and the places connected with rites and rituals practised by the Bisingai centuries ago.

Hi all
I am selling my Bastila Shan outfit. The same is entirely handmade and crafted to fit a female between 1.60-1.70m in height, wearing a UK size 10.
The outfit is exactly as it appears in the KOTOR game and consists of the following:
1) Tan and brown bodysuit with long sleeves
2) Upper body tabard with neck, chest and shoulder detailing handpainted and aged
3) Lower body belt with thigh protector flaps attached, also with detailing handpainted and aged
4) Wrist guards with elastic straps
I will put up pictures of the costume parts over the weekend. The costume has been worn only twice and you may have seen me in it at STGCC 2012. For those who would like to join the Rebel Legion, the costume more than meets the RL's standards for this outfit.
Asking price for the full set, as detailed above, is $1000 but I am willing to consider good offers. Bear in mind the entire set (save for the bodysuit!) is 100% German leather, and has been put together by hand. The details to match what appears in the KOTOR game were similarly put on by hand, and everything was 'aged' to give the costume that good old 'battle-worn' look. $1000 is a good deal, all things considered.
PM me if interested.
Bastila Shan outfit for sale
For all Costumers .... your own place to hang out and talk about the world of costuming ....

text: Hello, I am new to this forum and am hoping to get some feed back as to how to talk to my Mother in law who has dementia. She is in assisted living and is very beligerent when we speak to her, as she doesn't feel that she belongs there. She threatens to leave there and blames my husband and myself for putting her there. She of course no longer drives, but threatens us that she is going to start driving again as she likes to gamble and wants only to go to casinos everyday. I am so frustrated and I get very anxious when the phone rings, because she is so beligerent. Any feedback on how to handle this situation would be greatly appreciated.

My second fencing project on Saturday was to replace the chicken wire on the bottom of the fence between my yard and barnyard.
Why would I have to do that?
Sky is pretty sure all those kids running around are just funny-colored, short-tailed squirrels.
I get that.
But I would be really irritated with him if he treated them like a squirrel, turning them into his own rawhide.
That sweet girl is not a chew toy. And if you really want to torture a German Shepherd, bring those funny-colored short-tailed squirrels into the house and say, "You can't touch them."
It really is mean of me, but Tiger Lily (Cinnamon's doe) was escaping at my mom's house, so she came back here.
I also needed to get Spaz away from her maa because she was nursing. That means I have kitchen kids!

The growth was helped by a strong performance in North America, where net sales were up 5% and the operating profit grew by 9%. Emerging markets are also proving to be a key area for the drinks giant, with net sales from that sector accounting for 42% of Diageo's business, following 11% net sales growth and "acquisitions which added £233 million."
Commenting on his first set of results as CEO Ivan Menezes said: "These results reflect Diageo's strengths. We have delivered 5% net sales growth reflecting the strength of our US spirits business and continued double digit growth in the emerging markets, despite weakness in some markets.
"Price increases in each region, positive mix in North America and Latin America and the rigour we have in managing our cost of production and controlling our overheads drove significant expansion in operating margin."
Menezes also acknowledged the growth of Johnnie Walker which grew by over one million cases, taking past the 20m case mark. He added: "The effectiveness of our marketing campaigns remains a competitive advantage for us and this year we have seen these campaigns extend the leadership of our brands in many markets during the year. This has been a key driver of our performance in scotch, our biggest and most profitable category, especially for Johnnie Walker which is now a 20 million case brand."
Western Europe remains a problem area for Diageo, with net sales down by 4% over the year and the company's CFO Deirdre Mahlan explained: "The strong positions of our strategic brands in Western Europe have of course left them exposed to market weaknesses here, primarily JεB in Spain, Guinness in GB and Ireland and Baileys in Southern Europe."
She added: "In Western Europe, the underlying trends are unchanged. The stronger second half performance was due to the comparison against a weak third quarter in France in the prior year and in the fourth quarter, we had good momentum in Western Europe from continued growth of Captain Morgan and from innovation with the introduction of Captain Morgan Spiced and the expansion of premixes."
In further good news for investors the results mean that Diageo will be increasing its dividend by a further 9%.
In making his first results presentation as CEO Menezes also paid tribute to the work done by his predecessor Paul Walsh, saying: "Paul Walsh provided Diageo with exceptional leadership and shaped our strength and global position, and I want to take this opportunity to thank him on behalf of the entire Diageo team. As these results again demonstrate, Paul did make a strong business even stronger."

Farmer marionette (Pelham Puppets)
From The Brighton Toy and Model Index
Farmer marionette (Pelham Puppets)
|Arch Two , Area 55
Puppet Theatres (display)
Puppet Corner
A Marionette of a Farmer made by Pelham Puppets
This puppet is an SM type, meaning that the puppet came with a moveable mouth controlled by an extra string. Earlier models in this line were sold without the rake accessory.
This puppet demonstrates the larger, open composite hands which were used from the 1970s onwards. The fact that this puppet comes complete with the rake and has a later type of hand allows us to give it an age range of around 30 to 45 years.

Sri lanka reviews
Post: #109/02/2019, 12:37 PM
Hi just wondering if anyone did a sri Lanka tour recently as can only find reviews from 2014 and I am thinking of going in October thanks Wendy
Post: #211/02/2019, 01:08 PM
Hi Wendy
I visited Sri Lanka in May last year but with a different company. The itinerary was slightly different and I chose this holiday because it visited Yala National Park. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country, the people are very friendly and I enjoyed the contrast of historical sites, developing cities and traditional tea estates.
The weather, in the main, was warm and sunny and I particularly enjoyed the free time at the beach at the end of my particular tour. My advice is go for it!
Hope this helps
Post: #311/02/2019, 06:06 PM
Thank you Lesley I think I will be booking soon
Post: #412/02/2019, 11:33 AM
I also did a tour a couple of years ago with another company. The itinerary was very similar except JY includes beach days while my tour did wildlife safaris at Yala. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The hotels were comfortable and never understaffed. I even managed to climb to the top of Sigiriya on the morning of my 60th birthday.
I was there in November which should have been getting into the rainy season but it stayed hot and dry for us until the last day. Then it poured.
The only downside for me was that the rest of the group were all English and Australians and they spent a lot of time arguing about cricket with our Sri Lankan guide....

ANGLE PLC (LON:AGL) shares pushed higher on Tuesday in spite of news the firm is raising £18mln from new and existing investors as it gears up for potential commercialisation of its Parsortix liquid biopsy early next year.
Parsortix is a simple blood test which can help doctors spot signs of cancer at an early stage.
READ: ANGLE scores early success in ovarian cancer trial
Results from a recent clinical trial showed the system was able to capture and harvest cancer cells from the blood of a significant proportion of metastatic breast cancer patients.
The plan now is to make a US Food and Drug Administration regulatory submission in the final quarter of 2019. If all goes well, ANGLE could receive approval in early 2020.
Although the company has been able to make some sales already – 200 or so devices are used by research organisations – regulatory approval would open up a huge new market.
No discount needed
Of the £18mln, which is being raised by the issue of 29.3mln new shares at 61.5p apiece, £11mln will be used to strengthen the balance sheet in preparation for negotiation of potential corporate partnership deals.
That chunk of money will also extend the firm's cash runway "significantly beyond" the expected timeframe for potential FDA clearance and completion of the ongoing ovarian cancer study.
Away from that, ANGLE will spend £2mln further refining the Parsortix system, another £2mln on establishing a breast cancer remission monitoring study, and the same amount again on setting up a service laboratory to support pharma services and accelerate clinical adoption.
That leaves £1mln left over, which will be used to develop techniques for culturing circulating tumour cells (CTCs) for drug testing.
Balance sheet strengthened
"We are grateful for the strong support of existing and new shareholders as we build our business to address the global liquid biopsy market," said chief executive and founder Andrew Newland.

It has been a few years now since I last wrote about our friends at Calfkiller, and not a second to soon. I am happy to say we still have a great relationship with the best small brewery in Tennessee. It is such a pleasure pouring one of their beers for a guest who has never had the Calfkiller experience. The compliments come quickly and continue through the second beer without fail. Being able to serve our food and drink with that kind of confidence is what we aim to do, day in and day out.
After watching Dave and Don and their hard working crew succeed at producing what they love and growing it into a sustainable business, you just get that feeling that you are witnessing history in the making. Calfkiller beer has gone from being a novelty draft we started serving a few years ago to a household name and our best selling beer by a long shot. I am still amazed by the number of folks who arrive from all over the state, recognize and ask for it with an enthusiasm only equaled from children on Christmas morning.
My continued enthusiasm for Calfkiller will come to a head (pun intended) on Saturday, August 9th at Evins Mill! I am proud and excited to announce yet another Calfkiller Tasting Dinner. The menu is in the works and will feature, as always, many Calfkiller tainted or inspired items, as well as Evins Mill produce and many other local Tennessee products. Dave, Don and hopefully their better halves will be here sampling their latest wares as well as their tried and true. This event has grown in popularity over the years and space is limited, so make sure not to get cut off (pun intended, again), and make your reservations now. We will see you soon, Cheers!

War strikes an Undisclosed country. Rebels fight to keep the armyless country secured, as a radio station broadcasts intel and music for them.
This Audio Drama focuses mainly on the Silver Ribbon Rebels Radio: a Radio Show made for the Rebels, by spies of the enemies. The Radio show shares intel through secret phrases only the Rebels know, and plays songs for the Tyrants to listen to as they massacre their foes.
The perspective changes throughout the Audio Drama. From Tango 33, to the "Moral Code" squadron. No mistakes, though, they both keep the radio running, as they send their enemies back where they came from.

Vi, ??. Androgynous Pyromaniac.

(Loading up on Explosives) Oh boy, I can't wait to use this stuff!
(In gunfight) Hey, Miller! Is it time for Fireworks?
(Lighting fire) Nice and warm.

Department of Health takes first steps towards statewide medical marijuana rollout
JEFFERSON CITY, MO – The Missouri Department of Health & Human Services (DHSS) has received more than 250 applications and $2 million in fees for medical marijuana facilities this week.
DHSS began accepting pre-filed license application fees on Monday after Missourians' voted to adopt Constitutional Amendment 2 in November. The amendment legalizes medical marijuana with a four percent tax to be spent on healthcare services for veterans.
The department is on schedule to establish program rules in order to regulate and control the cultivation, manufacturing and sale of marijuana for medical use, according to DHSS Director Dr. Randall Williams.
"We have a responsibility as public servants of Missouri to implement this process for qualified patients according to the Constitution, and we are pleased that the initial phase has been executed on schedule and with great success thanks to the tireless work of an adaptable staff," he said.
As part of its effort to gather all relevant input, DHSS has established a new page on its website where it will begin publicizing the initial drafts of the rules. Suggestions for these initial drafts may be submitted through the Suggestion Form on the page.
The collection of non-refundable pre-filed license application fees is ongoing; however, early submission of application fees does not guarantee a license or provide any competitive advantage in the application process. If approved, the licensees will be legally allowed to grow or distribute medical marijuana.
The Missouri Medical Cannabis Trade Association applauded the department's efforts to stay on the originally proposed time schedule.
"Missouri's medical marijuana program will help countless patients and veterans, but it will also create thousands of jobs and millions in economic activity in Missouri. The large number of pre-applications already filed with the DHSS reflect the impressive interest in participating in Missouri's new industry. We applaud the department in their effective implementation of the program thus far," said spokesman Jack Cardetti.
The department will begin accepting applications for cultivation, manufacturing, and dispensing facilities on Aug. 3, 2019.
Qualified patients and their primary caregivers can start applying for identification cards on July 4, 2019. DHSS anticipates that medical marijuana may be available for purchase by January 2020.

HUF is planning a homecoming of sorts with a new San Francisco location slated to be opened at some point in the near future. While an official announcement has yet to be made, a Store Manager's position was posted on Shop Eat Surf today revealing the expansion.
The original HUF store opened on Sutter Street in S.F. in 2002. The operation grew to an additional San Francisco location, and one in L.A., before exiting retail in 2011 to focus on its shoe line.
In 2015, a new HUF store popped up on Fairfax in Los Angeles. Since then, the brand has opened a New York store, and two in Japan. The upcoming San Francisco location will be its fourth in four years.
This announcement comes at a time when San Francisco's retail landscape is evolving. Thrasher opened a store on Sixth Street last year. And Supreme is slated to open around the corner sometime in the near future. FTC and Deluxe are still holding it down as stalwarts of the scene on Haight and Market, respectively.
There's currently no word on when the upcoming HUF S.F. location will be opening. We'll update when more information becomes available.
UPDATE 01.15.19: In a letter posted on Instagram, Benny Gold announced that he is discontinuing his brand, and handing over the keys to his store on Valencia to HUF in February. An official launch announcement regarding HUF's San Francisco location should be forthcoming. We'll continue to follow this story as it unfolds. You can view the portion of Benny's letter that pertains to the store transfer below. Scroll through the embedded IG post to read it in its entirety.
It's no secret that I got my start in streetwear designing for the esteemed Huf brand created by pro skater Keith Hufnagel. Keith was integral in helping me find the confidence to start my own brand. Huf closed their SF retail store right around the time I was opening the doors to my first storefront. Life has a funny way of coming full circle and I now have the honor of helping them come back to San Francisco. After the month of January we will be handing over the keys to our Valencia storefront to Huf and I can't think of a better brand to inhabit the space.

What started out as a side hustle while pursuing a future in skateboarding, I has been churning out signature graphics since the early '90s. From designing party flyers, sticker bombing the streets of SF, and producing T-shirts for myself and friends, I would have never guessed that years later my eponymous brand would grow into what it is today. . . . With the changing landscape of retail and consumption habits. Rather than have my cherished brand morph into something that I no longer recognizes or feel connected to, I will be closing down the namesake brand to begin a new chapter of my life. . . .

Most 55+ Communites have a fitness facility. A Fitness program for 55+ Active Adults makes for a healthier and more enjoyable life. It helps keep your body strong, reduces health problems and helps control blood pressure, body weight and cholesterol levels. It cuts the risk for hardening of the arteries, heart attack and stroke. What does that all mean, well it means that you can add years to your life.
But wait!!! That's not all. (Sounds like a commercial, right?)
Below are some other benefits you'll get from a fitness program:
- Conditions Muscles, Tendons, Ligaments and Bone to combat osteoporosis.
- Reduces the risk of everyday injury
- Improves digestion
- Helps manage low back pain, arthritis and diabetes
- Can lower the risk of some cancers
- Help you sleep better
- Manages Stress
- Best of all – IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER
Before starting any exercise program, find out from your primary care physician whether you should do them and if you have any restrictions.
A good exercise program includes cardiovascular exercise and resistance exercise (weights). Exercise classes are a good way to begin (and continue doing). You may enjoy group exercise classes, since they offer an opportunity to socialize and develop friendships. At our age, consider some cardiovascular exercises that are non-jarring exercises such as walking, swimming and cycling. Start out easy and gradually build up. 30 minutes a day is a good target to shoot for.
Going to the fitness center is not the only way to exercise. Gardening, dancing, house cleaning are other ways to incorporate exercise into your daily routine. I know what you're thinking, "I can do that", but don't take the easy way out, do as much as you can. If you go the fitness center, it works to your benefit.
Resistance exercises (weight exercises) help to maintain muscle mass and promote bone health. Find your comfort level as to what you can do. Don't be lazy, push yourself as much as you can. Make sure you know what and how to do weight exercises. Working the major muscle groups is important. If you are unsure of what and how, find out from someone who knows what and how.
You should end each workout with stretching exercises. It helps to maintain mobility, range of motion and can decrease the risk of injury.
Always remember to keep safety in mind when exercising.
- Wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes.
- Avoid outdoor activities in extreme temperatures.
- Drink plenty of fluids to stay well hydrated.
- Listen to your body when determining an appropriate exercise intensity (and keep in mind that monitoring intensity using heart rate isn't accurate if you are on heart-rate-altering medications such as most medications for hypertension).
- Be aware of danger signs. Stop activity and call your doctor or 911 if you experience any of the following: pain or pressure in your chest, arms, neck or jaw; feeling lightheaded, nauseated or weak; becoming short of breath; developing pain in your legs, calves or back; or feeling like your heart is beating too fast or skipping beats.
After all is said and done and you've heard everyone's opinion of which exercises are the best ones t do, choose the exercises you enjoy.
Look at your 55+, retirement or senior years as an opportunity to do things you have never done before. Most of all, enjoy yourself!
15 Minute exercise program for seniors

Filed under: P Letter to the Ephesians
Starting into the second chapter of Ephesians is truly remarkable! After Paul paints an incredible portrait of Christ and His church, whereby "God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way" Paul immediately contrasts this with how far we were from Christ.
In the literal translation it says: "And you being dead in the trespasses and in the sins of you, in which then ye walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit – now operating in the sons – of disobedience; among whom also we all conducted ourselves then in the lusts of the flesh of us, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the understandings, and were children by nature of wrath as also the rest…" In chapter 1 Paul told the church in Ephesus that "in love he predestined us to be adopted (placed) as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his good pleasure and will – to the praise of his glorious grace"! At one time we were "sons of disobedience" but now we are "sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus"! As Paul told the churches in Galatia: "Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, 'Abba, Father.' So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir. Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods." Have we really thought about how much He took away in giving us of Himself? Jesus said "the Spirit gives life, the flesh counts for nothing."
"But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions – it is by grace you have been saved." "His great love for us" is literally:"because of the much love of his with which he loved us." Can we really get into these few words? The depth of there meaning! No wonder Paul kept "asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better." The song by David Crowder Band "How He Loves" comes to mind (http://www.onlylyrics.com/hits.php?grid=11&id=1034792). Oh, how He loves us. he loves us so much that "even when we were dead in transgressions" He "made us alive with Christ." To the church in Colosse Paul said that "when you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature (literally "flesh"), God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross." It's been taken away! Wow! "It is by grace you have been saved!" (I think Paul would have put an exclamation point their!) Being saved is about being made "alive with Christ."
We "were dead" and walked by our flesh and were "sons of disobedience." But now because of Christ, receiving Him as Lord, we have been made "alive with Christ." That IS salvation! He is salvation! While we are now sons of God here on this earth at the same time "God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus." We are no longer of this world! Christ sees us with Himself in eternity, right now! "Our citizenship is in heaven!" But God has a purpose. Being made "alive with Christ," being saved, being a citizen of heaven was according to "his good pleasure and will," "the mystery of his will," "the purpose of his will" which was that we "might be for the praise of his glory!" "He chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ." His purpose was that "in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus." He desires that His Son be manifested to all of creation through His sons and daughters! As Paul told the church in Rome: "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God."
The Father desires to see us live by His Spirit that dwells in us in a corporate way not just individually, because it is when we do we together begin to "show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus." "There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." When we listen and follow the Spirit together then His life will be shown forth. I cannot reveal all of Christ by myself, I need my brothers and sisters to see the fullness of Christ. His life of love, His life of grace which are "incomparable" to anything we can think of or imagine! "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." The church is God's workmanship or literally "poem." I get the sense that another way of saying this is "For we are God's poem, created in Christ Jesus to be His song." A song expresses the heart. The church is Christ's expression, His song, that shows His beautiful life of grace! When the church of the living God is living by His Spirit in close loving relationship with one another with their Lord His life will be made manifested. And we will see His life expressed, "the incomparable riches of his grace"! "The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed." Let us ask our Lord together "that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better." How we need to know Him better, how we need to know "His great love for us with which He loved us!" Let us be His song, let us live by His life together so that the world may see a different a new creation, a different kind of people, a family of God, a life of faith, love, hope, grace, and freedom. The world awaits such a song.

I need to make a couple of points here:
1. This rested for a couple of days without comment so I thought I'd at least get the ball rolling.
2. I was delivered the solution whilst we reviewed this puzzle and
therefore, since I had a conflict of interest, I could not ethically
offer a solution.
3. A medical team recently confirmed, "No, you do not have a stomach ulcer".
Tomarken, you have indicated by the "light bulb" that you have a solution (?), what was Andre's message?

(Chicago) July 2, 2018 - Honorable Dorothy Brown, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County, successfully kicked off mandatory eFiling in the Circuit Court of Cook County this morning in accordance with Illinois Supreme Court Order M.R. 18368, which required that effective July 1, 2018, all court users electronically file civil cases and that the Cook County Clerk's Office transition its electronic filing service to eFileIL, the statewide system.
Beginning today, court customers filing civil cases in the Clerk's Office, including all suburban offices and the Chancery, Civil, County, Domestic Relations, Domestic Violence, Law and Probate divisions in the Daley Center, had to register with eFileIL and electronically file their court documents. E-Filers may register with eFileIL and file from their home or office computers or they may use public access computers located throughout the Clerk's Office.
The Cook County Circuit Court, which is the largest court system in Illinois and one of the largest in the country, has worked diligently with Tyler Technologies, Inc., the state's chosen E-File Manager (EFM) to implement the state's mandated system. Clerk Brown has, personally, closely monitored the progress of eFiling for the authorized civil case types to ensure the efficient delivery of service by the July 1, 2018, deadline.
At a June 18th presentation on Mandatory eFiling that drew more than 1,100 attorneys, pro se litigants and other court users to the Thompson Center in Chicago, Clerk Brown thanked the Illinois Supreme Court for issuing Order M.R. 18368. "This was an action that I pushed for from the time I first took office. I fully agree with the Supreme Courts' argument that 'Court users, including self-represented litigants, increasingly benefit from paperless court systems that allow for electronic filing, service and access to case documents,'" she said.
"The Supreme Court of Illinois' decision, rendered nearly two years ago, was intended to drive efficiencies into the court system improve access to information, and promote transparency," said Clerk Brown. "While the change to mandatory e-filing in Cook County may cause some initial uneasiness to those impacted, it will ultimately result in a more simplified process for everyone involved," Clerk Brown noted today.
The Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County has provided electronic filing for civil case types for several years through On-Line Information Services, Inc., (OLIS). However, the OLIS system was decommissioned at 11:59 p.m., June 30, 2018, and replaced with the EFileIL system. "I thank OLIS for serving as the Clerk's Office's eFiling service provider since 2009. OLIS built a customized system for the Clerk's Office that worked very well for its users these past nine years," said Clerk Brown. The Clerk's Office had registered more than 45,000 users on the OLIS system, which was installed at no cost to the County.
Now all eFilers have to register with EFileIL to electronically file in Illinois. Non-attorney eFilers need a personal email address and an accepted form of payment (debit card, credit card or eCheck) to register with eFileIL. It is very important to note that with eFileIL attorneys will need their ARDC numbers to register, and, unique to Cook County, attorneys also need their Cook County Attorney Code to be entered on each filing.
Court users may access special instructions on mandatory eFiling through the eFile portal on the Clerk's Office's website (www.cookcountyclerkofcourt.org/EfileInfo) or receive extra assistance on the system at the Clerk's Office's self-paced eFile Center located in the Daley Center, 50 W. Washington, Lower Level, Room LL-12.
Mandatory eFiling is rolling out just as Clerk Brown is also implementing a new case management system at the Clerk's Office. In 2017, the Clerk's Office signed a multi-year contract with Tyler toward installing Odyssey Case Manager throughout the entire Cook County court system. In February 2017, the Clerk's Office completed Phase 1-County Division, the first of five separate implementations toward upgrading all areas of law across Cook County. Odyssey Case Manager is scheduled for deployment in all areas of criminal law in the first quarter 2019 and to civil and traffic case types by November 2019.
"As promised, we are moving forward with major enhancements to the efficiencies of our busy court system," said Clerk Brown. "Gaining efficiencies in our court room operations, decreasing manual entry thereby improving data accuracy through automation, and enabling better public access to information are among our top imperatives," Clerk Brown explains. "We are well on our way to realizing these benefits."
To register or for additional information about Mandatory eFiling, visit the Clerk's Office website at www.cookcountyclerkofcourt.org or call (312) 603-HELP (4357).
