Fed unveils strategies for U.S. payments system improvements
Permanent link
WASHINGTON (1/27/15)--A paper released Monday by the Federal Reserve features the agency's recommendations for improving the payment system in the United States from the perspective of payment system service providers.
"Strategies for Improving the U.S. Payment System" examines ways to create a "safe, efficient and broadly accessible" system, which the Fed says is vital to the American economy.
The Fed previously released a consultation paper on this topic in 2013. The Credit Union National Association filed a comment letter in response to that paper, praising the agency's approach at looking into ways to improve the payment system.
"CUNA appreciates the Fed's willingness to work with CUNA and listen to the concerns of credit unions in developing its paper on the future of the payments system. I have asked my staff to review it in detail and work with our Payments Subcommittee on follow-up," said CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle. "As the next generation of a payments framework is developed, credit unions need the ability to access the latest technology without undue regulatory restrictions or high implementation costs."
According to the Fed, the payment system in this country is at a "critical juncture in its evolution," with a changing technological landscape that features high-speed data networks, sophisticated mobile devices and increasing real-time information processing. While this is changing the nature of commerce, rapid and evolving threats threaten security of data and the payment system itself.
To achieve these goals, the Fed has identified the following strategies to improve the payments system:
Actively engage with stakeholders on initiatives, including establishing and improving mechanisms for stakeholders to provide input and provide additional opportunities for those groups to stay informed about the latest developments;
Identify effective approaches for implementing a safe, faster, ubiquitous payments capability. This will include establishing a faster-payments task force in the coming months and creating a framework for implementing faster payments by 2016;
Work to reduce fraud and advance the safety, security and resiliency of the payment ssystem. This includes establishing a payments security task force to provide advice and determine priorities, as well as explore improvements to the Fed's anti-fraud and risk-management capabilities;
Achieve greater end-to-end efficiency for domestic and cross-border payments, including developing a strategy to accelerate secure electronic business-to-business, person-to-person and person-to-business payments; and
Expand the operating hours and other capabilities of Fed payments, risk-management services and interbank settlement for check payments. This includes same-day automated clearinghouse capabilities.
Nussle said CUNA looks forward to continuing to work with its payments system partners, which includes the Fed, NACHA--The Electronic Payments Association, the National Credit Union Administration and others.

RBC2 changes, improvements, outlook detailed in CUNA webinar
Permanent link
WASHINGTON (1/27/15)--Well over 600 credit unions tuned into the Credit Union National Association's webinar on the National Credit Union Administration's revised risk-based capital proposal (RBC2) Tuesday, as CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle highlighted the advocacy strength of the organization's three-tiered system.

That system, comprised of CUNA, the state credit union leagues and credit unions, helped spark positive changes in the NCUA's initial risk-based capital proposal, and are present in RBC2, Nussle said.
"Our work has paid off by greatly reducing the impact and reach of NCUA's risk-based capital proposal," Nussle said. "Over the last 10 days, we here at CUNA have had a chance to look very carefully at the RBC2 rule, and while we still believe it may be a solution in search of a problem, there's been some substantial improvements over where we were a year ago, and we're pleased about that."
The proposal is expected to be published in the
Federal Register
today, which marks the start of the 90-day comment period.
NCUA Director of Examination and Insurance Larry Fazio gave a presentation during the webinar and broke down some of the reasoning behind the agency's changes to the proposal.
Fazio said the risk weights were better calibrated in the RBC2 proposal to recognize that credit unions perform better in a financial crisis. The weights were also fine-tuned to better identify only outlier credit unions when it comes to risk.
Based on CUNA's analysis of the proposal using September 2014 data, 14 credit unions would be downgraded in their risk-based capital standard in the RBC2 proposal, a "significant improvement," Nussle noted, over the 163 that would have been downgraded under the first plan. The original proposal would have have increased by $6.4 billion the amount of capital credit unions would need to hold in order to remain well-capitalized. With RBC2, that amount would fall to $632 million.
"CUNA continues to question the need for a new risk-based capital proposal," said Mary Dunn, CUNA's deputy general counsel, during the webinar, but added, "Having said that, we are very pleased about the number of changes included in the revised proposal."
A few of the many notable changes include:
Removal of interest-rate risk, the entire allowance for loan and lease losses being included in the risk-based capital ratio numerator;
Concentration tiers for first liens, junior liens and commercial loans reduced from three to one;
Separate risk weights for share secured, secured and unsecured consumer loans; and
No separate risk weight for credit union service organization loans or investments.
Although the NCUA did not add a provision on supplemental capital to RBC2 as advocated by CUNA, the agency board has asked stakeholders to comment on whether supplemental capital should be permitted in the context of this rule.
CUNA's Chief Advocacy Officer Ryan Donovan has stated CUNA's strong support for the ability of credit unions to use supplemental capital, both for this proposal and for the purposes of meeting prompt corrective action requirements. "This will be one of the issues we raise in our comment letter," he noted after the webinar.
CUNA flagged its ongoing concerns regarding the RBC2 plan. They include: whether or not the two-tiered risk-based capital system is permitted under the Federal Credit Union Act; the question of whether the NCUA should consider more factors than asset size when determining a credit union to be "complex;" and the need for complex credit unions to continually assess their overall capital adequacy on an ongoing basis.
Credit union stakeholders are encouraged to submit questions about the proposal to CUNA, and the organization will be posting an updated frequently-asked-questions document with answers as they become available.
For those who missed the webinar, or had trouble calling in, a recording will be available later this afternoon. Follow the Twitter-based @NewsNowLiveWire to get an alert as soon as the webinar is available.

Hybrids 'dominate' ARM offerings: Freddie survey
Permanent link
McLEAN, Va. (1/27/15)--Hybrid adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) are the most popular ARM offerings from lenders, according to Freddie Mac's annual Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Survey. This is the 31st year of the
, which was conducted Jan. 5-8 on prime loan offerings.
Hybrid ARMs combine elements of fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgages. It has an initial fixed-interest rate period (generally three to 10 years), followed by an adjustable-rate period, which is adjusted annually.
Click for larger view
According to Freddie Mac, the 5/1 hybrid is the most popular ARM. This means the rate is locked in for five years, then it will reset annually. The average 5/1 rate is 2.83% compared with 3.63% for a 30-year fixed. After 5/1 loans, 7/1, 3/1 and 10/1 are the next most common.
Freddie's survey found that the initial interest rate was lower for all ARM products compared with last year. One-year ARMs and 5/1s were down 0.2 percentage points, while 10/1s were down 0.3 percentage points.
In early January, the interest rate savings for a 5/1 with a 30-year term, the most common ARM offered, was 0.75 percentage points better than a 30-year fixed rate loan. For a loan of $250,000, the monthly principal and interest payment for a 5/1 would be about $103 less than the 30-year fixed over the first five years of the loan.
"The average loan size for a conventional ARM for home purchase was more than $400,000 during 2014 and about double the size of an average fixed-rate loan, according to data from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA)," said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president/chief economist. "On a $400,000 loan, a family would save about $9,000 during the first five years of a 5/1 hybrid compared with a 30-year fixed-rate loan, based on interest rates collected in our survey."
During 2014, ARMs comprised about 10% of home purchase loans, according to FHFA data.

"If fixed-rate loans become more expensive and home values rise further, we expect more consumers to take another look at ARMs and project the ARM share rising to 12% of the conventional home-purchase market in 2015," Nothaft said.
Credit unions have seen growth year-over-year in balloon/hybrid mortgages. The average such loan has risen to $274,879 from $194,094 in 2010, according to Credit Union National Association data. The value of outstanding loans rose 20.8% from 2010 to 2011, 11.8% from 2011 to 2012, 28.4% from 2012 to 2013 and 12.7% from December 2013 to September 2014.

I like this program. My notes is the same as knex's, and you already mentioned it in your author comments (about the keyboard). Also, what Saminat said: adding more keys to be played.
Another suggestion would be to allow keys to be played as you drag the mouse over them.
The samples sound great too. Only thing is they are so short. However, I can understand you doing that so you won't have samples with long durations, making the SWF larger.
Good job, soldier.

Amazon wishlist shows my basic address
This doesn't change anything to me... It says "List of..." and my name, ok, but below that there's a "Sent this to:..." with full name, city and province. And I cannot change that without removing the address completely (which defeats the purpose of the wishlist for me in a way). I would prefer only the first name to be displayed, no last name or city at all. I seem to remember this was possible. |

Aiden McGeady challenges Everton to go one better next season and break in to top four to match his Champions League ambitions
January signing McGeady admits Everton let it slip this season after they suffered defeats to Crystal Palace and Southampton having beaten rivals Arsenal
Republic of Ireland winger Aiden McGeady is targeting an assault on the Barclays Premier League's top four next season after a near miss.
Everton passed up the chance to gatecrash the Champions League party at the end of a nevertheless hugely successful campaign, ultimately finishing in fifth place to claim a Europa League spot.
However, McGeady, who joined the club from Spartak Moscow in January, is confident they can split the big boys next time around after launching new manager Roberto Martinez's tenure in style.
He said: "It was in our own hands and we slipped up.
"We beat Arsenal at home and then we lost to Palace, we lost to Southampton, games that we should have won or we should be winning if we want to be in the top four.
"But ultimately those two defeats cost us and Arsenal went on and won every single one of their games, so in the end they deserved to be there.
"But we were challenging the top four, so the challenge next season is to go one better and get into that top four.
"With the squad we have got there, the manager and the backroom staff, the potential that the players have got, especially seeing as how many of the players are 22, 23, 24, young players, that's got to be our aim."
Everton's achievement was somewhat over-shadowed by neighbours Liverpool's title challenge, which came up only just short on the final day as they were pipped by Manchester City.
However, McGeady believes Everton's achievement was no less noteworthy.
He said: "We probably out-performed what everybody expected of us from the start of the season.
"At the start of the season, the first three games were draws and everyone was thinking, 'This is a different type of football, a different way of playing for Everton'.
"But gradually over time, the manager and the way we play, we have won everyone over. We play football the right way and I think everyone is enjoying it."
McGeady is currently on international duty with the Republic and desperate to make up for lost time after finding himself consigned to the youth team in the latter days of his spell in Russia and arriving on Merseyside somewhat rusty.
The chance to work again under former Celtic boss Martin O'Neill as Ireland face Turkey, Italy, Costa Rica and Portugal in preparation for the start of the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign in September, is one he is relishing.
He said: "I have got a lot to thank him for. He gave me my debut at Celtic. I played a few games towards the end of that season, then the next season, I was only 18 and probably played 35 games that season.
"I was hoping to be coming on in games, but I was playing Champions League games."
Republic of Ireland international Aiden McGeady is one of 7,469 players across 203 FIFA sanctioned teams in EA Sports 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, OUT NOW on Xbox 360 and PS3.

Betty DeGeneres never imagined herself being an activist. "Who would have dreamed it," she said today while chatting with HRC staff at our DC headquarters. In another world, she'd probably be "playing a lot more golf." But activist she is, and in the 15 years since her daughter Ellen's high-profile coming out, she's proven herself a tremendous ally to the LGBT community.

Inter-faith Discussion Aims to Build Bridges
| March 3, 2011
Faith2Faith panelists
In a world plagued by millennia of violence and warfare, what role—if any—can the world's religions play in resolving conflict and addressing other issues of global concern? That was the question considered by Regent University's Faith2Faith Dialogue on Saturday, Feb. 26, when six panelists representing six different faiths and worldviews came together to discuss Religion and Peace: Religious Answers to Global Crises.
Organized by Dr. Clifton Clarke, associate professor in Regent's School of Divinity and director of the Center for the Study of Global Missions, and Steve Carlin, a pastor at New Life Providence Church in Virginia Beach, Va., the discussion was part of the school's Modular Week offerings. Modular Week brings online students to campus for an intensive residency of classes and face-to-face interaction with faculty and fellow students. Also open to the community, the event attracted about 150 people.
"We live in a community where people are increasingly suspicious or one another and where opinions are formed from what is said in the media," explained Clarke, who also served as moderator. "This event highlighted the importance of the fact that although we represent different religious groups we all belong to the some community and society.
"Discussion such as these are important for the Regent community as it demonstrates that we are committed to building community cohesion and fostering positive relations between the different faith groups in Hampton Roads community."
Panel speakers included: Dr. M'hammed Abdous, secretary of the Muslim Community of Tidewater (Islam); Dr. Corné Bekker, associate professor in Regent's School of Global Leadership & Entrepreneurship (Christianity); Kamlesh Kapur, education chair of Asian Indians of Hampton Roads (Hinduism); Shelley Mountjoy, organizer of Capital Beltway Atheists (Secular Humanism); Gloria Stevenson-Clark, chapter leader and minister of ceremonies of Soka Gakkai International (Buddhism); and Dr. Israel Zoberman, rabbi of Congregation Beth Chaverim (Judaism).
As moderator, Clarke asked a series of questions that allowed each panelist to describe the major tenets of their faith, their views on the meaning and purpose of human existence, their views on truth, and their religions' teachings about peace and war.
"Jews created the word for 'peace'—'shalom,' explained Zoberman. Kapur said that Hindu prayers are "aspirations for peace, within ourselves and for everybody else." Stevenson-Clark, whose organization is a non-governmental organization under the United Nations, emphasized that, "There is no way we can bring about peace through war. It's necessary to create a culture of peace," referencing a U.N. peacemaking document. Mountjoy expanded on this concept, discussing the importance of building a community of justice, respect and fairness for all.
Abdous talked about the Golden Rule—found in both Muslim and Christian teachings—that instructs people to treat others as they want to be treated. "Peace can be accomplished by keeping the two Golden Rules in mind individually and at the state/nation level," he said.
As for the causes of war, Bekker noted two: the sins of envy and selfish ambition. In his view, attaining peace requires a better example, and he said that peace can be found in Christ. He added that peace comes at a cost, however, requiring a transformation in people's hearts and minds.
Responding the question, "Is there ever a time when war is justified?" most of the respondents emphasized that all other avenues for conflict resolution must be exhausted first, with war being the last resort for defense of country and protection of human rights. Stevenson-Clark disagreed, however, saying, "There is absolutely no time for war."
Panelists also explored the relationship between religion and politics. While most agreed that "separation of church and state" is a valid concept, the responsibility of citizens to participate in the democratic process is equally vital.
Audience members also had a time for questions where they asked panelists what they value about religions other than their own and how they came to accept their belief system.
Wrapping up the discussion, Clarke asked the panelists to comment on the current unrest in the Middle East. "The crisis is mind-boggling, and I don't believe it's one of religion, said Kapur, who said she has a background in economics. "It's a question of politics and the control of oil and other resources. Should it be controlled by dictators or should the citizens share in the profits?"
Bekker offered two solutions that he alluded to previously. "First, it requires a transformation of hearts, from hearts of stone into hearts of flesh," he said. "Second, it will require forgiveness. It is extraordinarily hard to forgive and to also ask for forgiveness."
Concluding by affirming Abdous' earlier comments about the Golden Rule, Bekker added, "If we can [apply the Golden Rule] not only in our personal practice, but also on the international stage, maybe that could precipitate peace."

SHUKI, A CAB DRIVER IN HIS early 40s, says it's easy to find the Orot Girls' religious public elementary school in Beit Shemesh. "That's where all the police cars are," he explains.Since the beginning of the school year, five conspicuously marked squad cars constantly surround the school to protect the girls, ages 6-12, from violent verbal and physical attacks by extremist ultra-Orthodox Jews. Groups of ultra-Orthodox men have been protesting, often violently, against the girls' school because, they say, some of the children walk through, or close to, their homes. Although the girls are religious and the school dress code mandates that they wear long sleeves and skirts, the ultra- Orthodox groups insist that the "immodest presence of the girls in their field of vision," as worded in pashquivillim (posters) plastered on the walls in their neighborhood, is a violation of their rights and religious beliefs.The fanatical activists gather, almost daily, screaming in Yiddish "pritzas" (whores) and "Nazis" at the girls. On September 14, a fourth grade girl was assaulted with raw eggs while walking home alone. The child's family, new immigrants from France, have filed a complaint with the police. The police have since increased their surveillance and have deployed members of an elite squat team, who stop cars driven by men wearing ultra- Orthodox garb if they slow down anywhere near the school.The city of Beit Shemesh, population 72,000, is located on the site of a once-thriving pre-biblical city along an ancient trade route. In biblical times, it was the border between the kingdoms of Judah and Israel. The modern city was founded as a development town in the 1950s and settled primarily by immigrants from Morocco. Despite its location – on the western edge of the Judean hills, about 22.5 kms (14 miles) from Jerusalem and 42 kms (26 miles) along good roads, with efficient bus and train service – Beit Shemesh remained a backwater town whose name was synonymous with social failure – that is, until the 1990s. Then, large numbers of immigrants – first secular Russians and then national-religious immigrants, many of them from English-speaking countries – moved in and the city began to thrive once again.But in the past decade, large numbers of ultra-Orthodox Jews have also moved into Beit Shemesh, primarily from Jerusalem; many of these newer residents are members of the most extreme sects in the ultra- Orthodox community. Each religious group has chosen to live in separate communities, but the proximity between the neighborhoods has led to numerous turf and cultural wars.The most recent battle is being fought on the backs of elementary school-age religious girls.THE OROT GIRLS' RELIGIOUS public elementary school, attended by some 450 girls in grades one through six, is a public school that, according to its website, has a strong religious Zionist ethic and is part of the "Sha'alei Torah" chain of religious schools. Highly prestigious, it is one of the premier schools in Beit Shemesh and takes in girls from the city as well as from the surrounding towns and villages.Until last year, the school was located in an old, inadequate building closer to the more secular sections of town. The location for the new school was chosen because it is adjacent to, but separate from, the Orot Boy's religious elementary public school and because of its proximity to a new neighborhood, in which most of the residents are modern Orthodox "Anglos" (immigrants from English-speaking countries).At 12:30 p.m. on a school day in mid- September, two weeks into the school year, Hannah Glasser, a member of the school parents' committee and the mother of two girls who attend the school, steps out as a guard unlocks, and then carefully relocks, the gate to the courtyard.Glasser is modestly dressed in a blue skirt and T-shirt, her short hair covered. She speaks rapidly in Hebrew with a clear American accent. "Ever since the riots began, my youngest daughter has nightmares and the older one is frightened," she tells The Jerusalem Report. Glasser immigrated to Israel with her family 17 years ago and has been living in Beit Shemesh for the past 14 years. "We are very happy here and we won't leave."The Ministry of Education supports the Orot schools' Parents Committee. In a statement to The Report, Ministry spokesman Shauli Peer writes, "The Orot school for girls was established, following a request from the municipality of Beit Shemesh, as a religious public school for girls. As a result, the school was opened on September 1st. The Jerusalem district of the Ministry is closely following the functioning of the school, to make sure that the educative process is succeeding."The weak link in support for the school has been Mayor Moshe Abutbul, a representative of Shas, the Mizrahi ultra-Orthodox party. In late August, just before the school year opened, Abutbul announced that the municipality had not approved the opening of the school, thus adding fuel to the protests.Shalom Lerner, a representative of the Beyahad (Together) party, which is part of the opposition in the Beit Shemesh municipal council, says that Abutbul is motivated by both ideology and politics. "Sadly, he actually does believe that these extremists are better Jews than we are," Lerner tells The Report. "And he's playing for time, hoping that the problem will go away, so he won't have to alienate his ultra-Orthodox constituency."The mayor, says Lerner, wants to turn Beit Shemesh into an "ultra-Orthodox city." Capitalizing on his political relations with the national Ministers of the Interior and Housing, both of whom are also members of the Shas party, Abutbul is attempting to gain permits for housing projects to be marketed solely to the ultra-Orthodox community."We won't let him do that," says Lerner.Matityahu Rosenzweig, spokesperson for the Beit Shemesh municipality, refused to respond to The Report's repeated requests for information and comment.In the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood near the school, the walls along the sidewalks are plastered with pashquivillim warning, "Daughters of Israel: The Torah demands that you dress modestly," along with death notices, information regarding sales and events, and a call to residents to "prepare for war over our houses."Men and women walking along the streets refuse to be interviewed; some of the men cover their faces with their hats, to avoid seeing a woman.A young woman dressed in heavy black despite the autumn heat steps out from one of the buildings. In an advanced stage of pregnancy, she holds the hand of a toddler and pushes an infant in a baby carriage. She is reticent to answer questions about the conflict with the school, but when pressed, says only that the national-religious residents "bring their dogs to the neighborhood every day. We are afraid of dogs." She refuses to say more and darts away, dragging her small son.THE CLASHES BETWEEN THE two communities are about control of public space and turf, activists say. According to Dr. Benjamin Brown, senior lecturer in the department of Jewish Thought at the Hebrew University and an expert on ultra-Orthodox communities in Israel, Beit Shemesh is a "bastion of zealots."Many of these people have moved to Beit Shemesh, Brown says, not merely because of the available housing, but also because they want to escape their rabbis, who have tried to restrain their extremism. These zealots, Brown says, will listen to no one but their own. "Even the most venerable rabbis and leaders hesitate to issue rulings," says Brown, "for fear that they will be publicly disobeyed by the extremists."Among them are small, cult-like groups of radicals, many of them newly religious, who place extreme emphasis on women's "modesty." Residents of Beit Shemesh have become accustomed to seeing Jewish women, and even girls as young as five or six, dressed in burqa-like clothes that cover their entire bodies and their faces. In a more troubling development, in July 2009, the Jerusalem District Court convicted the member of one of these sects – popularly dubbed "the Taliban mother" because she and the other women in her group wear multiple layers of clothing to completely cover themselves – of child abuse, committed as part of the rituals of a cult run by a self-appointed "rabbi" and spiritual leader.Others are members of the radical ultra- Orthodox group known as the Sikarikim, named after the assassins who, during the time of the revolt against the Romans, would hide small daggers (sicarii) in their clothing and assassinate both Romans and Jews who, in their opinion, were not loyal to the revolt or were not observant enough.In the ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods of Mea Shearim, the Sikarikim attack women whom they feel are immodestly dressed, deface and damage stores where modesty is not observed to their standards, and have tried to impose separate sidewalks for men and women. They have instilled so much fear that residents prefer to obey them or to leave the neighborhood rather than incur their wrath. They are, Brown says, apparently trying to do the same in Beit Shemesh.The obsessive focus on gender and "modesty" issues, says Brown, is somewhat of a fad, since, in their attempts to maintain the struggles that distinguish them from other communities, these ultra-Orthodox extremists chose different issues over time. "For years, the Sabbath was a very high-profile issue for their protests and violent demonstrations," Brown explains. "Then, for many years, it was archeology. Today, perhaps in response to growing permissiveness in secular and ultra- Orthodox society, they are focusing on modesty issues. The issues come in waves."Author and community activist Rabbi Dov Lipman is more blunt. "To view an eightyear- old girl in sexual terms is perverse," he says. "Some of these people really believe that women are Satan. And their willingness to terrorize little girls is child abuse."According to Debbie Rosen-Solow, a member of the Orot school's parents' committee, several discrete meetings between representatives of the parents' committee and rabbis from the ultra-Orthodox community have taken place. She attaches great importance to these meetings because, she reports, the rabbis expressed their clear objection to the actions of the extremists in their community. "But we are disappointed that none of the rabbis went public about their objections," she adds.Rabbi Shlomo Pappenheim, the Jerusalembased head of a more moderate ultra-Orthodox faction, is more forthcoming. He tells The Report that "these are people who are causing great damage to the ultra-Orthodox community and to the Jewish religion." Adds haredi publicist Dudi Zilberslag, "This indiscriminate violence is giving the entire haredi community a bad name."Indeed, on the ultra-Orthodox street, there is open talk of a split between the "moderate" non-Zionist ultra-Orthodox and the extremists. Broadsheets posted in ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods in Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh announce the formation of a special ad hoc committee to take a stand against the sect's members. "Help! Help! Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh are crying out," the posters read, referring to the "Taliban women" as "a new sect of cruel women making people miserable and destroying homes, risking lives and showing no mercy to little children."No official from any of the ultra-Orthodox institutions in Beit Shemesh agreed to speak to The Report for this story.OPPOSING THE ultra-Orthodox extremists are the approximately 3,000 Anglos who live in the Beit Shemesh area, according to activist David Morris, a high-tech professional who established the well-known "Lema'an Achai" (For the sake of my brothers) non-profit social services agency. Over the past two decades, they have been attracted to Beit Shemesh not only by the housing that is still affordable by Western standards – especially when compared with Jerusalem – but also by the opportunity to live in a close-knit modern Orthodox community, often centered around a synagogue and a rabbi, that is similar to their lives in the US and other English-speaking countries. In moving to Beit Shemesh, they did not only buy property – they bought a lifestyle.And they intend to maintain it."To give in to the ultra-Orthodox community's demands that the school be moved will not solve the problem," Glasser says. "Our girls aren't the problem," she says forcefully. Our being here is what bothers the ultra-Orthodox.""The girls are not what is troubling the Haredim," agrees Rosen-Solow. "They want the building, the neighborhood, the entire city. We understand that this is a struggle not only for the residents of Beit Shemesh, but for the residents of Jerusalem and other places, too. We have had enough and are putting our foot down! We will not move from here.""This is a turf war," says Morris. Referring to the extremists as kano'im, a derogatory Yiddish term for zealots, "They want to live their way, and they don't want to allow us to live our way. But we aren't going to give in."The national religious, modern-Orthodox community has mobilized. A Facebook page in English and Hebrew serves as an open forum for the exchange of ideas and information. On the second Friday of the school year, women from all over the region came to the school and handed out flowers to the girls as they sat in an assembly on the sports' field. "As these flowers bloom beautifully, so you, too, are beautiful. From a sister to a sister," the principal read the message from the women, as the young girls cheered and clapped.Lipman says that until now, the Anglo community has been "too nice. We're not going to act in ways that aren't part of our values. We're not going to break any bones. But we will actively protect our culture and lifestyle. We bought our homes here. We are part of this country. We will use our Anglo know-how to organize and be forceful," he says.In mid-September, on a pleasant Friday night, hundreds of members of the modern- Orthodox community walked along the streets of Beit Shemesh. "It was a delightful, peaceful walk," says Lipman – and it made the point to the extremists that we are a presence."

Colin Maillard Italy Show all reviews | Ellenisia by Penhaligons is a rich yet discreet floral scent quite on the white-green-sweet side with a watercolour rose heart, somehow quite conventional but really pleasant and pleasantly British as regards of its soapy, slightly nostalgic sense of refinement, as much classy as restrained. Plus, it also feels quite youthful and lively, albeit a bit melancholic shortly nothing outdated or too formal/mature. Some metallic-camphorous nuances ruin a bit the romanticism here, but theyre subtle: what you get is mostly jasmine (quite clean, nothing indolic), sandalwood, something greenish providing a crisp and crunchy leafy feel (think it is that violet leaves note), resins, and a really quiet but dense tuberose note - dont expect any headache-inducing note, it is there more just to add an earthy stout vein to the floral accord. The evolution is quick and well, much evolving, as it passes through different stages at some point it almost feels an osmanthus-fruity-tea note emerges, then it all goes back to greenish-white territories, finally drifting towards earthier-camphoraceous nuances. Overall a totally solid and compelling fragrance, really elegant, clean, sharp and to me, perfectly composed and with totally good materials, as far as I can tell. The persistence is good and vibrant, with a subtle carnal feel but with a Victorian mood a pale, restrained, pulsating yet bourgeois kind of carnal (shortly, a bit frigid, no offense). Cold and luminous like a London garden in mid-March, with clouds coming and going. Nice! 24th January, 2015 |
Elsie United Kingdom Show all reviews | One of my most favourite florals of all time. So pretty, but not too granny-ish. It lasts well and I'm always being complimented whenever I wear it. Even the bottle is perfect on my dressing table! 23rd August, 2012 |
MsMaryO United States Show all reviews | ELLENISIA is so pretty and happy, like a clear morning in spring still clinging to winters chill. (LOTR fans should get that reference.) Sometimes violet can make me sad, as in Apres L'Ondee, but not Ellenisia. It stays green and upbeat, all the way through. It's slightly green opening is surprisingly similar to AL'O but without the anise. Although I love ALO, I think I would prefer Ellenisia as it must be the anise in the opening that seems to pull my mood down. 11th February, 2011 |
Nukapai United Kingdom Show all reviews | This reminds me of the (now discontinued, little-known) scent Trussardi Action for Women. It has taken florals in the same kind of somewhat sterilised, yet sweet direction with heavy emphasis on the green/powdery/violet accord. 09th February, 2011 |
teardrop England Show all reviews | This opens with the tuberose, & a fleeting herbal note from the violet leaf. Then, instead of the "tumble of scented petals" l was expecting, the plum note comes right to the fore on my skin, coming off as stale & overripe. There's a hint of vanilla, & jasmine hovering in the background, but l don't get any gardenia, & that stale note totally gets in the way of the florals for me. lt becomes richer & creamier around 40 minutes in, but then fades fast, with not much sillage. Not for me. 09th February, 2011 |
ladymorrigan Netherlands Show all reviews | *swoon* Im in love with this scent! 08th August, 2010 (Last Edited: 22nd January, 2011) |
