Bottom line with all this is that we can only find 2 cases where someone is convicted for "brandishing" and several where the person was taken into custody but not convicted and Trip 20's assortment of idiots sporting, musical and otherwise who like to use weapons to intimidate people in a criminal manner. We also have one unfortunate Pennsylvanian arrested but not convicted by idjits in the P.R. of Philthydelphia but charges dropped.
The situations where we do have criminal action are all assaults:
To my great misfortune, I have to do a lot of traveling in Texas, a place where every third poster seems certain of being arrested for brandishing whenever the wind blows his coat open.
Trip20(person from a state that he is not allowed to CCW in, although I hope that changes) , I did look it up myself. I was asking for the opinions and first hand information from others not snide remarks. Whether or not someone is triggerhappy is not something that even you can determine from a posted question and is quite an impolite insinuation.

brandishing firearm in Michigan
The following opinion is presented on-line for informational use only and does not replace the official version. (Mich Dept of Attorney General Web Site - www.ag.state.mi.us)
Reserve police officer carrying exposed but holstered handgun is not
brandishing firearm in violation of Michigan Penal Code
A reserve police officer, by carrying a handgun in a holster that is in
plain view, does not violate section 234e of the Michigan Penal Code,
which prohibits brandishing a firearm in public.
Opinion No. 7101
February 6, 2002
Honorable Bill Bullard, Jr.
State Senator
The Capitol
Lansing, MI
You have asked if a reserve police officer, by carrying a handgun in a
holster that is in plain view, violates section 234e of the Michigan
Penal Code, which prohibits brandishing a firearm in public.
The Michigan Penal Code, MCL 750.1 et seq, revises, consolidates, and
codifies the state's criminal statutes. Section 234e(1) of the Code
criminalizes1 the brandishing of a firearm in public as follows:
(1) Except as provided in subsection (2), a person shall not
knowingly brandish a firearm in public.
Subsection (2) of the same section states that "[s]ubsection (1) does
not apply to . . . [a] peace officer lawfully performing his or her
duties as a peace officer."
The term "peace officer" refers to members of governmental police forces
who have been given broad, general authority by law to enforce and
preserve the public peace. People v Bissonette, 327 Mich 349, 356; 42
NW2d 113 (1950). Most governmental police officers, i.e., officers who
are employed by the state or its political subdivisions, possess such
authority and are, therefore, "peace officers." 1 OAG, 1955, No 1891, p
72 (February 24, 1955); 2 OAG, 1958, No 3212, p 60 (February 21, 1958).
Conversely, police officers such as motor carrier enforcement officers
who possess only restricted or special enforcement authority do not meet
this standard and therefore do not qualify as "peace officers." People v
Bissonette, supra; OAG, 1987-1988, No 6530, p 362 (August 5, 1988).
Thus, a reserve police officer with limited law enforcement authority
would not qualify as a "peace officer" under subsection 2 of section
234e of the Michigan Penal Code. A reserve police officer with general
law enforcement authority who is regularly employed would qualify as a
"peace officer" under subsection (2) of section 234e. See OAG,
1973-1974, No 4792, p 78 (August 27, 1973), and OAG, 1979-1980, No 5806,
p 1055 (October 28, 1980).
Section 234e of the Michigan Penal Code does not define the crime of
brandishing a firearm in public. The Michigan Criminal Jury
Instructions, published by the Committee on Standard Criminal Jury
Instructions, does not include a recommended jury instruction on
brandishing a firearm. Research discloses that while the term
"brandishing" appears in reported Michigan cases,2 none of the cases
define the term.
In the absence of any reported Michigan appellate court decisions
defining "brandishing," it is appropriate to rely upon dictionary
definitions. People v Denio, 454 Mich 691, 699; 564 NW2d 13 (1997).
According to The American Heritage Dictionary, Second College Edition
(1982), at p 204, the term brandishing is defined as: "1. To wave or
flourish menacingly, as a weapon. 2. To display ostentatiously. –n. A
menacing or defiant wave or flourish." This definition comports with the
meaning ascribed to this term by courts of other jurisdictions. For
example, in United States v Moerman, 233 F3d 379, 380 (CA 6, 2000), the
court recognized that in federal sentencing guidelines, "brandishing" a
weapon is defined to mean "that the weapon was pointed or waved about,
or displayed in a threatening manner."
Applying these definitions to your question, it is clear that a reserve
police officer, regardless whether he or she qualifies as a "peace
officer," when carrying a handgun in a holster in plain view, is not
waving or displaying the firearm in a threatening manner. Thus, such
conduct does not constitute brandishing a firearm in violation of
section 234e of the Michigan Penal Code.
It is my opinion, therefore, that a reserve police officer, by carrying
a handgun in a holster that is in plain view, does not violate section
234e of the Michigan Penal Code, which prohibits brandishing a firearm
in public.
Attorney General
1Violation of this section is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment
for up to 90 days, or a fine of not more than $100, or both.
2 See, for example: People v Jones, 443 Mich 88, 90; 504 NW2d 158
(1993), People v Kreger, 214 Mich App 549, 552; 543 NW2d 55 (1995), and
People v Stubbs, 15 Mich App 453, 455; 166 NW2d 477 (1968).

"CCW holder accosted by homeless man with knife. Man grips his Sig and tells the homeless man if the man advances he'll shoot. Man leaves, homeless person reports he was threatened by a man with a gun. Police arrest him, seize his firearm and carry permit, charge him for carrying without a permit, making threats etc. To top it off, they get a search warrant at his house and seize all his other guns. Months later, the felony carry without a permit is dropped, but the homeless man is still pressing charges for making "terroristic threats"
Sounds like he would have been better off to shoot the homeless man huh?

He would have been better off calling the police and reporting that HE had just been threatened by a man with a knife... HE then would have been seen as the victim. If you carry a gun , carry a cell phone! And use it ASAP when something goes down.

Where I currently live, about four or five times a month somebody gets arrested for brandishing.
Its not always scumbags getting an extra charge lobbed on them either. That is what "obstructing justice" is used for.
When I lived in Lexington, Ky, I knew of people who got arrested for "brandishing" a weapon, when in reality they just wore a holstered sidearm on a belt or shoulder rig without even moving a hand towards it. Yes, the law said that open carry was legal, but try and practice it, and you got so much heat (including unlawful arrests) it was just not worth the aggravation....
In fact, back in those pre-house bill 40 (our CCW law) days, lots of savvy handgunners carried concealed anyways because in those days, carrying concealed was a misdemeanor with a 100 fine.
Lots of people I know tell me they dont have ccw permits because you can carry openly in this state. I tell em its best to spring for the training and permit to avoid being arrested for brandishing.

First thing our CCW instructor asked us, was who had a cell phone. It was his opinion that it was better to leave the house without your gun than without your cell phone. Every time you touch your gun, you need to call it it in. EVERY TIME. I have had to pull my weapon several times, every time I have called it in. Cops come out see the circumstance and I get a pat on the back. PLUS I more or less get immunity from a scum bag saying i threatened him.
Last month i was collecting rent from a building and there were three punks who kept looking for me, I am in the buildings all the time and these guys were not from the building. I was on the third floor and i heard the front door open but no apartment door open nad close so i figured they were in the building., I called 911 and asked for a squad car on base of suspicious youths. I told the dispatcher I was on the third floor and would wait for the officers and I was armed. Before the cops got there i heard footsteps coming up the stairs and I pulled my weapon and got in a spot where it was dark but they would be in the light. They saw me and told me to give them the littlebag of cash, I said no way it was all checks, they just laughed at me and said no one in the building had a checking account. I presented the weapon and told them i was armed and the police had been called and were still on 911 (they were not, next time i will learn) as i held the cell phone toward them, I also hold still i wanted to take their picture with the phone...They made some comments but they ahd lost their will and walked away. by the time they got to the second floor they were flying to get out of the building. Few minutes later Cops called out from the door "POLICE OFFICERS!!" i said hello, I was the one who called and was on the second floor now, said "i put the gun away, here are my hands, i am walking to you now", and they said "ok fine." One officer asked me about my weapon, I indicated it was on my hip, and he looked to the other officers and they just shrugged. I showed them my id and my business card which tied me to the property management company who had a sign on the wall. I was asked if I was ok, I said I was, I said I have a picture of them on my phone and what did they want me to do with that, they looked at it and said save it for the detectives who will be calling you.
The point of this opus is had i just pulled my gun in fear for my life and property, (which i was) and not called the cops, I would have been at risk for being accused of displaying or brandishing. A CCW does not give the right to settle and arguement or threat by showing the gun without consequences. If you understand the process, you will mostlikely comeout ok. if you think you can just pull it out and scare them off and that is the end of it, it does not work that way.

I don't own a cell phone. And if I did, I would leave it at home before I left without my gun.
one of my freinds is a circuit court judge. He used to have a legal secretary who was a fairly good looking and intelligent young woman.
One time, we were talking and we got to discussing personal safety. She said that a lot of her female friends gave her a hard time about the fact she did not own a cell phone.
"They say, it could come in handy in an emergency, but I point out that nine times out of ten, when you would need it the most, you would not get a signal," she said.
I pointed out that I agreed, which was why I usually depended upon a firearm or other weapon for personal safety.
Cell phones are mostly toys carried by the majority of the public. A gun is a survival tool.
Granted some people use their cell phone like a tool, (guntotin fool being a good and wise example) and some people use their gun like a toy. (the Tactical Ninja/Chairborn ranger types).

moral of the story make sure the BG has a weapon in his or her hand and is closer then 21 feet and you fear for your life ,before pulling your gun.Then make sure he or her are dead,they cannot tell their side of their bull**** story that way.

At the class when I got my CWP the cop/instructor made it very clear '' you can only use/pull your weapon if/when your life, or the life of another is immediatly in danger''. That woman that pulled her gun on the mechanic gave all of the gun haters more ammo to fire back at us. People like her shouldnt have guns. Now in theory she could have started a fight with him and if he was beating the hell out of her and she felt her life was then in danger maybe that would be a different story. But our instructor warned all of us, he said '' if you have to use your gun, or brandish it you have to be able to 'articulate' to authorities that you had no other choice''. She was a idiot and didnt help people like me a bit.

Courts have ruled in the past that you cant start a fight when you are armed, and just because you are getting the worst of it, come up shooting.
Happened in Martin County a few years ago.
Some guy was sitting in another guys public housing apartment 'drankin' a few byars" and the husband came home and told him to leave. The Byar-drankin' Hay-ull raiser decided he did not want to and picked a fight with the husband. The husband kicked his ass good, so he pulled a gun and started shooting and later tried to claim self defense.
I was there when the judge actually laughed at him, and pointed out that you can't pick fights when you are armed.

I was a lurker and saw this thread and it prompted me to register and reply w/ real world expierence. We live in Holland, Michimexico and I was convicted of brandishing 4 years ago. I'll try to make a long story short. A Latin King drug house across the street 5 years ago when we moved in. Loud parties, drug traffic,all that BS. The bangers built a 2 story tree house behind our place, not on my property but just outside my property. Late night parties and screams, not of passion but pain. I worked w/ local LE for a year on this, calling in every time there was trouble. I found burgalar tools back by this tree house, turned those over to law enforcement and of course grafitti. Latin king and gangster disciple crap. Ottawa County S.D. told me the screaming late at night was probably initiations. The residents of this house across the street were all convicted felons, mostly burglary of other houses in the neighborhood. A father, and two sons lived there. All members of the kings. Well January 22nd 2001 I had left for the car wash and coming back to our place I saw a person wearing yellow/black jacket walking in the woods behind our house, on my property. [email protected] are latin king colors so I knew it was one of them. I got out of my truck, went in the house and immedietly out the back door and could see this little ******* go back to the tree house and pick up a canvas bag. I went inside, grabbed my 12 guage and went back into my yard, out of sight to him. He grabbed the bag and started heading back towards my house. At this time I went outside the fenced in area of my yard and into the woods. I had my dog and the 12 guage. Our property extends out into the woods and I was still on our property when this punk came onto my property still carrying the canvas bag. I came from behind some trees and surprised him. I asked him what he was doing, he said nothing. I asked him if he was the one pulling B&E's in the neighborhood or if it was his little bitch brother? He was scared ****less, I NEVER pointed the gun at him the whole time. I went on to tell him that I was not going to stand for gangs or drugs in my neighborhood and he laughed. He then started to walk away and when he was 140 ft. away and down a 4 ft. grade I turned 180 degrees away from him and fired a shot into the ground. I thought it was over but 15 minutes later the Ottawa ounty Sherrif Dept. called me and told me to come out of the house w/ my hands up. I went out to meet the deputies, knew most of them because of all the calls I had made about the drug house, the S.D. knew what the house was and knew me. They asked what happened and then left. I was never arrested but 6 months later I get a letter from the ottawa county prosecuter, (name of valesquez) see a pattern developing here? He was charging me w/ brandishing! I had to go to the station and be fingerprinted and then came back home. In my interview w/ the probation officer before my arraignment, she the probation officer (Alma Valenzuela) see the pattern continuing? She told me and put in her report to the judge that I was more of a threat to the community that the latin kings!!! At my arraignment my attorney told the judge I was going to plead innocent and wanted a jury trial. That's when the prosecuter told my attorney if I didn't plead to brandishing he was going to charge me with felonius assualt!! My liar, sorry, lawyer told me to plead to the brandishing. I did and got 1 year rpobation and had to take anger management. They drug tested me every time I went in to report, never used drugs so the couldn't get me on the piss tests but the were trying to get me on a violation. I was released from probation after 8 months but I feel I was railroaded into pleading. At the court hearing after I pled my lawyer, my wife and I were approached by a greaser and threatened. He walked right upon us and said "I got a problem w/ you and paybacks are comin" My lawyer went right back into the courthouse and reported this to the first deputy he saw but nothing was ever done about it. Since then I have been threatened by the latin kings, though not for over a year now. They know I like guns and probably figure I'm crazy. I later found out the greaser that thought he could punk me is a leutinent in the latin kings and is hardcore. I , we I mean now live in condition yellow and have added security measures at our place. Two of the enforcers for the kings in Holland are Eric Ruibal and Javier "chewey" Rodriguez, both in prison right now but they will be out one of these days and I'm sure I am still on the kings to do list. Sorry to be so long winded but felt a need to tell my story w/ you folks here. I guess what I learned is even if the bangers are on your property let 'em be but if the come into my house thay will be terminated w/ extreme prejudice!
Ghost Rider out.

Gun Totin Fool,
I'm glad nothing bad came out of your situation. Three punks against 1 person is considered potentially deadly or bapable of great bodily harm. In those circumstances, lethal force is justified. In addition, they were tresspassing and you were at your place of employment. I think that gives you further rights as opposed to being on public property. I'm not advocating shooting them, but if they continue to approach in a menacing manner, I would probably shoot. One thing to consider is getting a camera system to cover your butt. The cost of a decent digital recording system and "vandal proof" cameras have dropped to the point where they are quite affordable. PM me if you want some more info.
As for Ghost Rider,
Sorry to hear about your situation. I think you crossed the line when you fired the shot into the ground. I think most members of this forum would agree that would be considered illegal discharge of a firearm. It sucks that you have gang bangers for neighbors. They obviously know where you live and there are probably many of them. You don't know most of them. I would say get the hell out of dodge and find a better place. You can't take on a whole gang. They could pop the dog easily or poison it so don't think you will get some kind of advanced warning. If the police are not will or able to do anything about them, it is time to up and leave. I know it is your home and all, but what good is it if you don't even feel safe in your own home.
The ATF should be a convenience store instead of a government agency!

I believe there was a case of a woman in Mass. that was being harrased by a truck driver while on the road and she held up her pistol to scare him off. He called the police and I believe she went to jail. There may be a link to this at the GOAL website.

Here's a recent horror story: BEYOND Brandishing!!!
One of my rehab patients, a fellow in a wheelchair due to a lumbar fusion gone bad, has the misfortune of having a former son in law with serious mental,moral, and impulse control problems; recently my patient and his wife were, legally, babysitting their grandchild, when the former son in law, illegally, demanded visitation. LongStoryShort, he threatened to run his car into my patient's home, and verbally threatened to "kill you and your whole family if you don't let me see my daughter."
The thug drove up my patient's driveway, pulled into his front yard and spun round and round, yelling obscenities out his window. My patient went to the front porch with an UNLOADED 357 in his hand, and told the thug to leave or he would kill him. This was after calling the sheriff, who basically said they could do nothing unless the thug had harmed someone.
The local sheriff's government thug (this patient lives in buttlick, TN were the genelines are thin) came and arrested my patient for assault with a deadly weapon. He was booked and released on bail and his gun was confiscated.
Hearing of this, I called NRA and SAF (two organizations upon which I dump serious money every year); both were very concerned but were in my opinion unhelpful/functionally useless. I finally got the patient hooked up with a lawyer who went to court with him two weeks ago. He got a
situation where if he has no problems with the son in law for 6 months, the charges are dropped; o/w, the charges are reapplied and he is tried for assault. This seems a major travesty to me, and if a frontier state like Tn is like this, God help anybody in a blue state or worse.
Any thoughts on this?
(Tennessee is supposedly a "Castle Doctrine" state wherein a man's home is his castle and he has the right to defend it; now I wonder. My personal attorney gave me a bunch of blah, blah about how this is a criminal matter, not a gun issue (yeah right!))

You may forget important things when you're hurrying to drive to the next destination or to catch a flight. The article below will help you some tips that you may know or can use on your next trip.
Be aware of food allergies when you visit a foreign country in order to avoid bad liaisons. If you have food allergies, you must become fluent in the words the natives use when it comes to their food. This will allow you the ability to alert your waiter or waitress of the foods that you have an allergy to so that they can be kept out of your meals.
Make travel arrangements way ahead of your trip. Despite the different ways you can spend your money on your travels, many share one feature: the earlier you buy them, virtually all of them have a common characteristic: they are cheaper the earlier you purchase them. You can save more money by planning properly.
When being serviced by a smaller airport, look at their website to see which airlines offer flight service to the airport.
Try to work in a big workout before your flight. This will help you avoid the monotony of a long flights. Sitting in the same position for a long periods of time can cause leg and back cramps.
Let a family access to the travel itinerary. This will allow someone knows where you should be. Stay in touch with that contact with them as well. They will not be as concerned if they hear from you.
Cash in traveler's checks before going shopping or eating. Be safe and make sure you may see that you don't get shorted.
You probably don't need any extra insurance even though rental car agents may try to sell you more. Vehicle insurance may have some third party coverage.
To adjust to a new time zone faster, try to stay up until about 8pm local time. Though you may be tired, succumbing to sleep earlier than you should may end up making your jet lag worse because you have not allowed your body to recalibrate.
Your dream vacation can go horribly wrong if you do not carefully planned. Read online reviews from experienced travelers. Their experience can prevent you avoid staying at a dangerous town or seedy hotel.
Bring a spare passport photo along on your trip. It can take quite awhile to replace a lost passport. Carrying a photo is one way to speed the process up. You should also carry any other documentation to help you might need.
If you have problems with your trip, it is easy to get annoyed. There might be an airplane delay or the rental car. The discussion is between you and the error. Make sure that you work to solve the problem, otherwise it can quickly escalate into a major issue.Try to be polite and calm. You won't be as stressed out and will get more accomplished this way.
Make sure you take along all important documents before you leave. Keep the copies of your insurance, passport, and any other important documents in a safe place.
If you plan to take a very remote trip, you might want to buy insurance that pays for search, rescuing and search. This kind of insurance could be a real lifesaver.
You can use the bus for traveling when you travel by bus. Even though buses do have a fee for extra weight and big bags, the allowance for bigger bags is much great than flying. You can bring on your travel baggage if you go by bus.
Research the laws and customs prior to traveling.You could get in trouble for doing something judged offensive or illegal, despite you thinking otherwise. Always be respectful and conduct yourself properly when you are visiting.
Sometimes a broken piece of furniture or a hole in the wall.
Label your cords when traveling. It can be difficult to keep up with which appliance. Label each cord clearly so you leave the house to make it easier. You can also wrote a list that you use for the items.
Take turns at driving when you are going to be on the road for long hours. If you drive until you are too tired to continue driving, the new driver will have to drive alone while you sleep. Do not wait until you are too tired to do so safely. You should change drivers at least every three hours. This will keep you from becoming exhausted.
When looking for deals, make adjustments to your travel dates if you can gain a better deal. You could get a better deal and save money by being flexible. By the way to improve your hearing sense just visit this link over here 助聽器公司 and read the best tips!.
Then pick which one that best for your needs.
TSA will randomly inspect packages thus ruining the nice wrapping right off. Instead, pack wrapping paper in your suitcase, or buy paper at your destination.
Be safety conscious when you travel.Know about your surroundings and inquire with the hotel about areas in which you are staying in. There are sure to be safe areas in all countries that you may visit.

Common Doubts during IAS Exam Preparation
Common Doubts during Civil Services Exam Preparation
Among UPSC aspirants there are numerous doubts and questions regarding IAS exam preparation like books that need to be referred, how to read newspaper etc. The above-mentioned questions are doubt regarding IAS exam preparation strategy.
Beyond exam preparation strategy, students will have doubts about preparation for IAS examination like how to have a proper study plan, how to make time table and how many hours to study in a day and so on.
In this article, we will address doubts among UPSC aspirants while preparing for IAS examination.
Some of the popular doubts about IAS exam preparation
How do I plan my day?
It completely depends on the aspirant. Some individuals will be comfortable with reading during the day while some during the night. So, don t change your routine.
Here is an ideal plan for the day, if it suits you then try to follow it or follow your own.
Practically speaking students can efficiently read for seven hours and around the time of examination 12 hours. So, divide a day into four sessions and each session read for 2 to 3 hours.
Say for example:
Session 1: Morning 7 to 9
Break: 9 to 10 Breakfast and newspaper reading.
Session 2: Post Breakfast 10 to 1 pm
Lunch Break: 1 to 2 pm
Session 3: Afternoon 2 to 5 pm
Tea break: 5 to 5.15
Extracurricular activity or Hobby: 5.15 to 6. 30 pm
Session 4: Evening 6.30 to 9 pm
Dinner: 9 to 10 pm
How many hours should I study?
There are no hard bound rules like UPSC aspirants should study for 10 to 12 hours on daily basis. In the initial stage of preparation students are advised to read at their comfort without any fixed time limit. Say for example, if student is comfortable reading for 4 to 5 hours in the initial stage then it is fine.
As time progresses, say after 5 months of preparation, students can gradually increase their preparation time 7 to 8 hours.
Finally, at the time of revision before the examination dates candidates can read up to 10 to 12 hours. As revision plays an important role in the UPSC exams, students should utilise this period properly.
Note: One cannot consistently prepare for UPSC exams upto 7 to 8 hours on a daily basis. On a given day depending upon the student s performance it varies from 4 hours preparation to 16 hours preparation. So students are advised not to worry about the amount of time spent on preparation but give importance to the quality of content.

How to overcome tiredness?
UPSC exam preparation itself is tiresome as it takes minimum one year to prepare for this exam. Even if the student clears in his/her first attempt it takes 2 years to clear the examination. Yes, it is tiresome and long exam process.
The only way to overcome tiredness is enjoying the preparation, there will be ups and downs in the preparation period. But don t worry about it. Students are advised to concentrate on their preparation progress.
To overcome tiredness, students can spend some quality time on extracurricular activities and hobbies. So by way of spending quality time on hobbies the aspirant will overcome tiredness and at the same it also reenergizes students for a better tomorrow.
In a way having a good hobby on regular basis is also helpful for students who appear for IAS Mains Interview, since in Detailed Application form (DAF), there is provision for hobbies and extracurricular activities done by candidates. If students have a genuine hobby, then it will help him/her in the long run.
Note: Start developing a hobby of individual interest.
Also Read: How to prepare for IAS Interview
How to stay focused and committed?
Since it is a more than a yearlong exam preparation, staying focused and committed to exam preparation is hard for UPSC preparing students.
If any students prepare for IAS exam without any focus means he/she doesn t have any strategy for exam preparation or else is preparing for this exam by force. (Note: Students can t prepare IAS exam without self-interest and self-motivation.)
IAS exam preparation is one of the toughest journeys for aspirants, during the course of preparation students will go through many emotions and struggles. It is not just an exam preparation; it is also a lesson for life.
The only way to overcome the struggle of IAS preparation is the aspirant should always try to be calm and composed.
Enjoy your preparation.
All the Best.

The number of home loan approvals fell by 0.9 per cent in November, and economists warn the weakness in the housing market is likely to be felt for some time.
There seems to be no sign of a turnaround in the housing market, with tougher lending standards continuing to put pressure on loans for owner-occupiers.
The November 2018 housing finance figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics show the number of home loan approvals fell by 0.9 per cent, which was better than market expectations of a 1.5 per cent fall.
The value of total housing finance was also down 2.5 per cent at $29.13 billion, with the value of new home loan for owner-occupiers down 1.4 per cent, and down 4.5 per cent for investor loans.
Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) President Adrian Kelly says the value of investment housing commitments decreased by 1.5 per cent in November, in trend terms, and is currently at 2013 levels.
"In trend terms, the number of established dwellings purchase commitments decreased by 0.1 per cent while the purchase of new dwellings decreased by 0.6 per cent and new dwelling construction fell by 0.9 per cent.
"The proportion of first home buyers, as part of the total owner-occupied housing finance commitments, increased in November to 18.3 per cent from 18.1 per cent in October and the number of loans to first home buyers increased by 3.5 per cent," Mr Kelly said.
He told WILLIAMS MEDIA the figures are reflective of the market conditions.
"The continued decline in housing finance reflects the slowing market, APRA restrictions on investors which went too far for too long, the fallout from the Royal Commission into Banking and concerns about changes to property taxation and its impact should there be a change in Government.
"With the Government formulating its 2019 Budget the property sector should be at the forefront of its considerations so that it doesn't become a drag on the economy," Mr Kelly added.
Housing Industry Association (HIA) Principal Economist Tim Reardon says the figures are one of the leading indicators of activity in the housing market, and reveal the level of building activity likely to take place in the second half of 2019.
"The fall in lending in November is consistent with the decline over the course of 2018 and tells us that the volume of work builders have in their pipeline is continuing to fall.
"The fall is in a large part due to the credit squeeze imposed by the banks.
"The credit squeeze started in 2017 when APRA imposed a range of restrictions on the market. It is now occurring at the behest of the banks, which have tightened lending above and beyond APRA's requirements.
"Our research has found the time taken to gain approval for a loan to build a new home has blown out from around two weeks to more than two months.
"Policymakers and lenders alike need to be cognizant that ordinary home buyers are now facing excessive loan processing times and also much greater rates of loan rejection. Today's results show how this is weighing substantially on the new home building sector.
Mr Reardon told WILLIAMS MEDIA there's a risk the downturn could get even worse.
"We've long been anticipating the current downturn in new home building, but there is a risk it could develop more quickly and strongly than expected if additional restrictions are imposed on the market," he said.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Sen. Hillary Clinton got "teary eyed" responding to a personal question at the end of a New Hampshire campaign event today. Over on MSNBC, the National Journal's Athena Jones is describing it as a revelatory moment of real emotion.

One does not have to be a financial genius to pose this question and formulate a response. The common sense provides the answer and conclusion. Enough said, enough has been written already … let's just scan the press.
In the latest news, a full week after European Commission have acted, the US Federal Government finally lifts a finger … will it be God's punishing finger? Time will tell but I have my doubts.
Goldman Sachs boss says banks do "God's work"
Reuters, November 8, 2009
The chief executive of Goldman Sachs, which has attracted widespread media attention over the size of its staff bonuses, believes banks serve a social purpose and are doing "God's work."
Testy Conflict With Goldman Helped Push A.I.G. to Edge
The New York Times, February 7, 2010
In just the year before the A.I.G. bailout, Goldman collected more than $7 billion from A.I.G. And Goldman received billions more after the rescue. Though other banks also benefited, Goldman received more taxpayer money, $12.9 billion, than any other firm.
In addition, according to two people with knowledge of the positions, a portion of the $11 billion in taxpayer money that went to Société Générale, a French bank that traded with A.I.G., was subsequently transferred to Goldman under a deal the two banks had struck.
Goldman stood to gain from the housing markets implosion because in late 2006, the firm had begun to make huge trades that would pay off if the mortgage market soured. The further mortgage securities prices fell, the greater were Goldmans profits.
Wall Street Helped Cover Up Greek Debts, Fueling Crisis
The New York Times, February 14, 2010
Wall Street tactics akin to the ones that fostered subprime mortgages in America have worsened the financial crisis shaking Greece and undermining the euro by enabling European governments to hide their mounting debts.
As worries over Greece rattle world markets, records and interviews show that with Wall Streets help, the nation engaged in a decade-long effort to skirt European debt limits. One deal created by Goldman Sachs helped obscure billions in debt from the budget overseers in Brussels.
Even as the crisis was nearing the flashpoint, banks were searching for ways to help Greece forestall the day of reckoning. In early November three months before Athens became the epicenter of global financial anxiety a team from Goldman Sachs arrived in the ancient city with a very modern proposition for a government struggling to pay its bills, according to two people who were briefed on the meeting.
The bankers, led by Goldmans president, Gary D. Cohn, held out a financing instrument that would have pushed debt from Greeces health care system far into the future, much as when strapped homeowners take out second mortgages to pay off their credit cards.
Goldman Goes Rogue Special European Audit To Follow
Baselinescenario.com, February 14, 2010
At 9:30pm on Sunday, September 21, 2008, Goldman Sachs was saved from imminent collapse by the announcement that the Federal Reserve would allow it to become a bank holding company implying unfettered access to borrowing from the Fed and other forms of implicit government support, all of which subsequently proved most beneficial. Officials allowed Goldman to make such an unprecedented conversion in the name of global financial stability. (The blow-by-blow account is in Andrew Ross Sorkins Too Big To Fail; this is confirmed in all substantial detail by Hank Paulsons memoir.)
We now learn from Der Spiegel last week and todays NYT that Goldman Sachs has not only helped or encouraged some European governments to hide a large part of their debts, but it also endeavored to do so for Greece as recently as last November. These actions are fundamentally destabilizing to the global financial system, as they undermine: the eurozone area; all attempts to bring greater transparency to government accounting; and the most basic principles that underlie well-functioning markets. When the data are all lies, the outcomes are all bad see the subprime mortgage crisis for further detail.
A single rogue trader can bring down a bank remember the case of Barings. But a single rogue bank can bring down the worlds financial system.
Goldman will dismiss this as business as usual and, to be sure, a few phone calls around Washington will help ensure that Goldmans primary supervisor now the Fed looks the other way.
But the affair is now out of Ben Bernankes hands, and quite far from people who are easily swayed by the White House. It goes immediately to the European Commission, which has jurisdiction over eurozone budget issues. Faced with enormous pressure from those eurozone countries now on the hook for saving Greece, the Commission will surely launch a special audit of Goldman and all its European clients.What happened to the global economy and what we can do about it
Goldman's Debt Swaps Are 'Destabilizing': Economist
CNBC.com, February 17, 2010
The European Commission should thoroughly investigate the case of debt swaps involving Greece and Goldman Sachs, as these types of operations are destabilizing financial markets, Simon Johnson, Professor of Entrepreneurship at MIT Sloan School of Management, told CNBC.com.
Goldman Sachs was widely reported to have arranged a debt currency swap transaction for Greece at the beginning of the past decade, providing it with money up front in exchange for higher payments later.
The reports sparked the European Union's wrath and the group requested Greece to explain the debt swaps arrangements by Feb. 19.
"That's clearly a huge affront to the EU," Johnson, who propposed 10 questions for the EU investigation on his web site Baselinescenario.com, told CNBC.com.
"It's more than an insult, it's fundamentally destabilizing," he said, adding that the debt swaps were "undermining what the EU, Maastricht want to achieve."
Goldman Sachs officials declined to comment.
Under the Maastricht rules, EU member states' budget deficits must not exceed 3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), while public debt must remain under 60 percent. Press reports suggested that the swap arranged by Goldman allowed Greece to push its debt problems into the future.
Fed to Examine If Wall Street Is Betting On Default by Greece
CNBC.com with Reuters and AP, February 25, 2010
The Federal Reserve will look into a report that several Wall Street firms, including Goldman Sachs, have been betting on a default by Greece on its sovereign debt, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke told the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday.
"We are looking into a number of questions related to Goldman Sachs and other companies in their derivatives arrangements with Greece," Bernanke said in response to a question for Senate banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd.
Bernanke said the Securities and Exchange Commission was also "interested" in the issue.
"Obviously, using these instruments in a way that potentially destabilizes a company or a country is counterproductive," Bernanke said. "We'll certainly be evaluating what we learn from the activities of the holding companies that we supervise here in the U.S."
Bernanke was reacting to a report in the New York Times that Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street firms were buying credit-default swaps in which they would profit if Greece reneged on its debt.
It was these same kind of trades that nearly toppled the American International Group, the Times said, and is making it harder for Athens to raise the money it needs to pay its bills, according to traders and money managers.

Syllabus - What you will learn from this course
Six Sigma and the Organization
Welcome to the Six Sigma Green Belt Specialization! Six Sigma skills are widely sought by employers both nationally and internationally.

Your team of instructors, Dr. Bill Bailey, Dr. David Cook, Dr. Christine Scherrer, and Dr. Gregory Wiles, currently work in the College of Engineering and Engineering Technology at Kennesaw State University. They have collaborated to create a specialization that is all encompassing of the Six Sigma methodologies for both Yellow and Green belt. Completion of this specialization will provide you with the knowledge to either continue to full Six Sigma certification or simply advance your knowledge professionally. In this module you will be introduced to how Six Sigma interacts with the organization, lean principles, and project management basics.
Lean Principles in the Organization
In this module, Dr. Bill Bailey will introduce you to the history of lean as well as new lean concepts. Dr. Bailey will also explain the five lean principles. In addition, this module will introduce you to more quality tools used in lean. This module also begins with a Yellow Belt Refresher Area, since some learners may have entered this course without having taken the previous yellow belt material. This refresher area does not serve as a "replacement" for taking the yellow belt material. It is only a "patch" for those who already have some knowledge of six sigma, but find the yellow belt specialization to be too introductory for their current situation. If you find yourself struggling with the green belt material in this course, it is highly recommended that you travel through the yellow belt specialization before attempting the green belt content.

A great course to go for. It will literally strength the basic ideas and concepts of six sigma, which i feel is really important for understanding of the DMAIC methodology. Thank you Coursera
This is a great course. Each of the important topics were discussed and illustrated well. And, the Yellow Belt refresher information was an unexpected bonus (a Delighter or Exciter if you will).
The course makes sure that you know the basics of six sigma, VOC and tools to identify. I wish there was actually some guided projects to use these tools or links. Practical aspect was low
I liked it, informative easy to understand, Would have been better if quiz questions would have been more challenging instead of exact copy paste of trainer's verbiage in the course.

"Free the People" Caravan Converges in Bakersfield
June 3, 2015
Last Saturday, a broad network converged at the Mesa Verde Detention Facility to demand and end to Mass Criminalization.
On May 30th, a multi-racial network of Undocumented Youth, Faith Leaders, Immigrant Rights Activists, and Community Members led by the Black Alliance for Just Immigration organized a "Free the People" caravan to Mesa Verde Detention Facility in Bakersfield CA. This private prison owned and operated by the GEO Group is where immigrants like Christopher Henry, a Jamaican father of three, is being held in unconstitutional indefinite detention for profit.
The Caravan already succeeded in winning the release of Ghanaian asylum-seeker Kwesi Amuzu from detention at Mesa Verde. Read the Black Alliance blog for the full story behind the Caravan, and how a month of resistance led to victory and freedom for Kwesi. http://www.blackalliance.org/free-kwesi-baji-oak-leads-free-the-people-caravan-may-30/
"Kwesi's case reminds us that Black Lives Matter in the Migrant Rights Movement. The successful campaign to release Kwesi signifies our power. When we resist, we win. And we will not stop until we are all free," writes BAJI organizer Devonté Jackson. "These issues are systemic and we are only beginning the work of strengthening the movement against Mass Criminalization. We celebrate Kwesi's release as a short term victory in a longer term struggle."
The demands of the caravan are:
1. Immediate Freedom for Christopher Henry, a Jamaican father who is being held in immigrant detention indefinitely in Bakersfield. For 3 years, ICE has separated Christopher from his three daughters, mother, and sister, all of whom live in the U.S.
2. End the Detention Bed Quota, a Congressional guarantee to the prison industry that 34,000 immigrants will be held in detention each night.
3. End Mass Criminalization of our Communities, which is resulting in the loss of Black lives every day, and the incarceration of 2.5 million people in the United States
4. Divest from the Prison Industrial Complex, we must stop funneling our public resources to expanding mass incarceration and detention. We need to divest from the prison industry and reinvest in community.
Enlace joined the Caravan in recognition that Black Immigrant populations are targeted and terrorized by ICE and police at significantly high rates given their population size within the larger Immigrant community in the U.S. Black Immigrants from Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America are overrepresented in immigration detention and deportation proceedings at a rate 5 times their actual presence in the undocumented community.
The Black Alliance for Just Immigration is a Steering Committee member of the Prison Divestment campaign.

[ ŭm′brə ]
Plural umbras umbrae (ŭm′brē)
The darkest part of a shadow, especially the cone-shaped region of full shadow cast by Earth, the Moon, or another body during an eclipse. In a full lunar eclipse, which generally lasts for one or two hours, the entire disk of the Moon is darkened as it passes through the umbra. During this period the Moon takes on a faint reddish glow due to illumination by a small amount of sunlight that is refracted through the Earth's atmosphere and bent toward the darkened Moon; the reddish tint is caused by the filtering out of blue wavelengths as the sunlight passes through the Earth's atmosphere, leaving only the longer wavelengths on the red end of the spectrum. See Note at eclipse.
The dark central region of a sunspot. Compare penumbra.

This stuff is awesome!! It is so much fun and my skin feels clean, exfoliated and fantastic after. The sensation of the bubbling and the foam growing is so bizarre even if you look like something from a horror movie. I noticed a definite improvement after first use and am using it twice weekly. Even after the bubbles are removed, add a little more water and massage again before rinsing. Works really well for me!! Even my son had a go - and he has his own bottle now (pictured) hehehe
I'm not really sure about the results. Is it me that I don't have blackheads more likely whiteheads is that why I can't see if this product really works or not?! Coz there's no changes on my nose. I think the ads makes me buy this product even if I don't really need to..
love this product. It actually deep cleanses my face and really removes blackheads off my face.
Works wonders!! Loving my skin after using this
It's good for removing the blackheads.

If you give a mom a washcloth she will wash the toddler's face. After she washes the toddler's face she will notice the mess he left at the table and she will wash that too. As she turns around she will notice all the crumbs on the counter so she will give the counter a wipe down. As she rinses out the cloth, she will notice the faucet needs to be polished, so she will do that also. Just when she thinks she can hang up her washcloth, out of the corner of her eye she sees the messy stove top. As soon as finishes that, she turns around and sees…a toddler with a messy face!
If any of you have ever had mothers, been mothers, or know any mothers, you have probably experienced the truth of this little story. I know I do it all the time and I quietly giggle to myself when I visit my friends and watch them go through this routine.
For some reason it seems that it is mostly mothers who can see all the little messes and crumb topped counters. That's okay though, because if Jesus has called us to raise children, our washcloths become tools of our ministry. We are not always called to foreign mission fields or even ministry out in the public. Sometimes the most difficult place we can serve is in our own homes. In the past, I know my attitude was not always the best as I was washing the table for what seemed like the fourteenth time that day.
I think Oswald Chambers expressed what I am trying to say perfectly in his book, 'My Utmost For His Highest:' "The things that Jesus did were of the most menial and commonplace order, and this is an indication that it takes all God's power in me to do the most commonplace things in His way. Can I take a towel as He did? Towels and dishes and sandals, all the ordinary sordid things of our lives, reveal more quickly than anything what we are made of. It takes God Almighty Incarnate in us to do the meanest duty as it ought to be done."
So the next time you reach for your washcloth to wash the table for the fifteenth time, know that you are making a difference. And also that Jesus is right there with you filling you with grace to smile at that little messy face.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Jesus you serving." Colossians 3:23-24
