It is our policy and obligation to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements when providing services to our customers. The provision of the payment services in the European Economic Area ('EEA') is regulated by the EU Payment Services Directive ('PSD') transposed in the UK through the Payment Services Regulation 2009. Checkout Ltd, as a payment institution, is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under the Payment Services Regulations 2009 for the provision of payment services (Register No. 584615), and this licence has been passported across the EEA countries.
Key features of the UK Payments regulation include:
- Capital requirements & liquidity – Payment institutions such as Checkout Ltd are required to maintain minimum levels of capital. We must also hold sufficiently liquid assets to be able to honour processed transactions and to meet our working capital requirements.
- Float Management – The payments regulations require authorised payment institutions to safeguard funds received from customers so that, in case of an insolvency event of the payment institution, the funds are protected at all time from other creditors' claims and can be repaid to customers.
- Management & Vetting – The FCA must be satisfied that all individuals who are responsible for the management of the payment service are of good repute and possess appropriate knowledge and experience. The FCA performed a "fit and proper test" on each member of Checkout Ltd senior management considering honesty, integrity, reputation, competence, capability and financial soundness.
- Systems & Controls – Checkout Ltd must maintain organisational arrangements that are sufficient to minimise the risk of the loss or reduction of our customers' funds or assets through fraud, misuse, negligence or poor administration. In addition, we are required to have effective risk management procedures, adequate internal control mechanisms and to maintain relevant records.
- Financial Crime – Checkout Ltd must comply with legal requirements to deter and detect financial crime, which includes money laundering and terrorist financing.

It is our policy and obligation to comply with the anti-money laundering legal and regulatory requirements, and we take these very seriously. As a registered payment institution operating in UK and in the European Economic Area ('EEA'), Checkout Ltd is subject to the Money Laundering Regulations 2007, the European Commission Wire Transfer Regulations, the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008, and the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (AML/CTF).
As it is supervised by the FCA, Checkout Ltd is required to meet, among others, the following legal requirements:
- Understand and interpret the legal and regulatory framework for AML/CTF requirements and systems;
- Understand standard industry best practice in AML/CTF procedures and proportionate risk-based approach;
- Design and implement the systems and controls necessary to mitigate the risk of being used in connection with money laundering or financing terrorism.
Checkout Ltd's AML legal obligations include among others:
- Verify customers' (including beneficial owners') identity and address;
- Keep full records of all transactions together with identification provided;
- Monitor any unusual or suspicious transactions of any size;
- Report any suspicious transaction to the National Crime Agency.
1.1 It is Checkout.com's policy to conduct all of its business in an honest and ethical manner. We take a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption and are committed to acting professionally, fairly and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships wherever we operate, and implementing and enforcing effective systems to counter bribery and corruption.
1.2 We will uphold all laws relevant to countering bribery and corruption in all the jurisdictions in which we operate, including the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Mauritius, the British Virgin Islands, Singapore and India. In particular, we remain bound by the UK laws, including the Bribery Act 2010, in respect of our conduct both at home and abroad.
1.3 It is of paramount importance to combat bribery and corruption. Beyond the legal and ethical reasons to not engage in these practices, corruption is one of the main obstacles to sustainable economic, political and social development, for developing, emerging and developed economies alike. Overall, bribery and corruption reduce efficiency and increase inequality and it is vital for us to take a strong stand against them.
2.1 The purpose of this policy is to: (a) set out our responsibilities, and of those working for us, or associated with us, in observing and upholding our position on bribery and corruption; and (b) provide information and guidance to those working for us, or associated with us, on how to recognise and deal with bribery and corruption issues.
2.2 It is a criminal offence to offer, promise, give, request, or accept a bribe. Individuals found guilty can be punished by up to ten years' imprisonment and/or a fine. As a company, if we fail to prevent bribery we can face an unlimited fine, exclusion from tendering for public contracts, and damage to our reputation. We therefore take our legal responsibilities very seriously.
2.3 We have identified that the following are particular risks for our business: discounts and rebates, sales, licenses and permits, intermediaries and country risks. To address those risks we have developed trainings, policies and procedures, including a company Expense Policy with follow up from the Finance Department, grid pricing applied to our customers, ABC training and close oversight from senior management.
2.4 In this policy, "third party" means any individual or organisation you come into contact with during the course of your work for us, and includes actual and potential clients, customers, suppliers, distributors, introducers, business contacts, agents, advisers, and government and public bodies, including their advisors, representatives and officials, politicians and political parties.
Checkout.com ABC policy applies to all persons working for Checkout.com or on our behalf in any capacity, including employees at all levels, directors, officers, agency workers, seconded workers, volunteers, interns, agents, contractors, external consultants, channel partners, sponsors, or any other person associated with us wherever located (hereafter also referred to as 'you')
4.1 The senior management has overall responsibility for ensuring this policy complies with our legal and ethical obligations, and that all those under our control comply with it.
4.2 Management at all levels are responsible for ensuring those reporting to them understand and comply with this policy and are given adequate and regular training on it.
4.3 You are invited to comment on this policy and suggest ways in which it might be improved. Comments, suggestions and queries should be addressed to the Legal and Compliance Department at firstname.lastname@example.com.
5.1 Bribery is offering, promising, giving or accepting any financial or other advantage, to induce the recipient or any other person to act improperly in the performance of their functions, or to reward them for acting improperly, or where the recipient would act improperly by accepting the advantage.
5.2 An advantage includes money, gifts, loans, fees, hospitality, services, discounts, the award of a contract, or anything else of value.
5.3 A person acts improperly where they act illegally, unethically, or contrary to an expectation of good faith or impartiality, or where they abuse a position of trust. The improper acts may be in relation to any business or professional activities, public functions, acts in the course of employment, or other activities by or on behalf of any organisation of any kind.
5.4 The Transparency International, a global coalition against corruption, defines "Corruption" as the abuse of entrusted power or position for private gain. The UK Financial Conduct Authority explains further that corruption includes bribery.
6. WHAT YOU MUST NOT DO You must never: • offer, promise or give a financial or other advantage to any person (including a public official) with the intention of inducing or rewarding improper performance by them of their duties; • directly or indirectly accept or agree to receive a financial or other advantage as a reward for the improper performance of your duties. It makes no difference whether the advantage is for you or a third party. In particular, it is not acceptable for you (or someone on your behalf) to: (a) give, promise to give, or offer, a payment, gift or hospitality with the intention of influencing, inducing or rewarding improper performance ; (b) accept a payment, gift or hospitality from a third party that you know or suspect is offered with the expectation that we will provide a business advantage for them or anyone else in return; (c) accept hospitality from a third party that is unduly lavish or extravagant under the circumstances. (d) offer or accept a gift to or from government officials or representatives, or politicians or political parties without the prior approval of the compliance manager; (e) threaten or retaliate against another individual who has refused to commit a bribery offence or who has raised concerns under this policy; or (f) engage in any other activity that might lead to a breach of this policy.
7.1 We do not make, and will not accept, facilitation payments or "kickbacks" of any kind.
7.2 Facilitation payments, also known as "back-handers" or "grease payments", are typically small, unofficial payments made to secure or expedite a routine or necessary action (for example by a government official). They are not common in the UK, but can be common in some other jurisdictions in which we operate such as India.
7.3 Kickbacks are typically payments made in return for a business favour or advantage.
7.4 You must avoid any activity that might lead to a facilitation payment or kickback being made or accepted by us or on our behalf, or that might suggest that such a payment will be made or accepted. If you are asked to make a payment on our behalf, you should always be mindful of what the payment is for and whether the amount requested is proportionate to the goods or services provided. You should always ask for a receipt which details the reason for the payment. If you have any suspicions, concerns or queries regarding a payment, you should raise these with us.
8.1 This policy allows reasonable and appropriate hospitality or entertainment given to or received from third parties, for the purposes of: (a) establishing or maintaining good business relationships; (b) improving or maintaining our image or reputation; or (c) marketing or presenting our products and/or services effectively.
8.2 The giving and accepting of gifts is allowed if the following requirements are met: (a) it is not made with the intention of influencing a third party to obtain or retain business or a business advantage, or to reward the provision or retention of business or a business advantage, or in explicit or implicit exchange for favours or benefits; (b) it is given in Checkout.com's name, not in your name; (c) it does not include cash or a cash equivalent (such as gift certificates or vouchers); (d) it is appropriate in the circumstances, taking account of the reason for the gift, its timing and value. For example, in the UK it is customary for small gifts to be given at Christmas; and (e) it is given openly, not secretly; (f) it complies with any applicable local law.
8.3 Promotional gifts of low value such as branded stationery to or from existing customers, suppliers and business partners will usually be acceptable.
8.4 Reimbursing a third party's expenses, or accepting an offer to reimburse our expenses (for example, the costs of attending a business meeting) would not usually amount to bribery. However, a payment in excess of genuine and reasonable business expenses (such as the cost of an extended hotel stay) is not acceptable.
8.5 We appreciate that practice varies between countries and regions and what may be normal and acceptable in one region may not be in another. The test to be applied is whether in all the circumstances the gift, hospitality or payment is reasonable, proportionate and justifiable. The intention behind it should always be considered.
9.1 Checkout.com does not make contributions to political parties.
9.2 We only make charitable donations that are legal and ethical under local laws and practices. No donation must be offered or made without the prior approval of the local compliance manager.
10.1 We must keep financial records and have appropriate internal controls in place which will evidence the business reason for making payments to third parties.
10.2 You must declare and keep a written record of all hospitality or gifts given or received, which will be subject to our review. These will be noted in our gift registry and be made in accordance with our gift and hospitality policy (see section 8).
10.3 You must submit all expenses claims relating to hospitality, gifts or payments to third parties in accordance with Checkout.com Expenses Policy and record the reason for expenditure.
10.4 All accounts, invoices, and other records relating to dealings with third parties such as customers, suppliers and business contacts, should be prepared with strict accuracy and completeness. Accounts must not be kept "off-book" to facilitate or conceal improper payments.
11.1 You must ensure that you read, understand and comply with this policy.
11.2 The prevention, detection and reporting of bribery and other forms of corruption are the responsibility of all those working for us or under our control. You are required to avoid any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy.
11.3 You must notify us, as per section 12, as soon as possible if you believe or suspect that a conflict with this policy has occurred, or may occur in the future. For example, if someone offers you something to gain a business advantage with us, or indicates to you that a gift or payment is required to secure their business. Further "red flags" that may indicate bribery or corruption are set out in clause 16.
12.1 You are encouraged to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of bribery or corruption at the earliest possible stage.
12.2 If you are offered a bribe, or are asked to make one, or if you believe or suspect that any bribery, corruption or other breach of this policy has occurred or may occur, you must contact immediately Checkout.com Legal and Compliance Department at firstname.lastname@example.com
13.1 Individuals who refuse to accept or offer a bribe, or who raise concerns or report another's wrongdoing, are sometimes worried about possible repercussions. We aim to encourage openness and will support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith under this policy, even if they turn out to be mistaken.
14.1 The one situation where a bribe may be paid is if faced with blackmail, extortion or the threat of violence. These dangers must be real and imminent. It is the individual's responsibility to report such an occurrence immediately.
15.1 We reserve our right to terminate Checkout.com's relationship with individuals and organisations working on our behalf, or associated with us, if they breach this policy.
16. POTENTIAL RISK SCENARIOS: "RED FLAGS" The following is a list of possible red flags that may arise and which may raise concerns under various anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws. The list is not intended to be exhaustive and is for illustrative purposes only. If you encounter any of these red flags while working for us, you must report them promptly: (a) you become aware that a third party engages in, or has been accused of engaging in, improper business practices; (b) you learn that a third party has a reputation for paying bribes, or requiring that bribes are paid to them, or has a reputation for having a "special relationship" with foreign government officials; (c) a third party insists on receiving a commission or fee payment before committing to sign up to a contract with us, or carrying out a government function or process for us; (d) a third party requests payment in cash and/or refuses to sign a formal commission or fee agreement, or to provide an invoice or receipt for a payment made; (e) a third party requests that payment is made to a country or geographic location different from where the third party resides or conducts business; (f) a third party requests an unexpected additional fee or commission to "facilitate" a service; (g) a third party demands lavish entertainment or gifts before commencing or continuing contractual negotiations or provision of services; (h) a third party requests that a payment is made to "overlook" potential legal violations; (i) a third party requests that you provide employment or some other advantage to a friend or relative; (j) you receive an invoice from a third party that appears to be non-standard or customised; (k) a third party insists on the use of side letters or refuses to put terms agreed in writing; (l) you notice that we have been invoiced for a commission or fee payment that appears large given the service stated to have been provided; (m) a third party requests or requires the use of an agent, intermediary, consultant, distributor or supplier that is not typically used by or known to us; or (n) you are offered an unusually generous gift or offered lavish hospitality by a third party.

Prices on Samui
Here you will find comprehensive information about what to expect to pay for food, transportation, spa treatment, activities, excursions etc. during your stay on Koh Samui.
What can I expect to pay for things on Samui? So we're often asked, 'How much money do I need for my holiday on Samui?'
Well, how long is a piece of string? This depends entirely if you intend living large like a superstar, dining at fancy five-star restaurants, or living like a local and trying street food and roadside cafes. But, in order for you to plan your budget, we've compiled a list of what you can expect to pay for certain items, services and entrance fees so there are no unpleasant surprises.
Prices mentioned in "Prices on Samui" are estimates and intended as a guideline. We cannot be held responsible for different prices being charged to what is listed. This is not a comprehensive list of all there is to do on the island, but merely a taster to give you an idea on what you might pay. Please browse this site for the full list of what there is to see and do.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Hi there,
I am in need of learning if the immigration judges also tend to look at joint evidences of spouses who have been divorces? For example, if one gets a notice to appear for failing to convince the IO that the marriage was legit while already divorced at that time, what type of evidences the immigration courts require from the divorced LPR during the hearings?
Would I be required to provide the judge with my joint bills, bank accounts, joint tax returns or will I be required to provide this only to the USCIS while the immigration judges would conduct their hearing with just questions about why the marriage ended and making his or her decision based on the personal story of the LPR?
Perhaps directly asking whether your clients were required to provide their (even if divorced
joint bills, tax returns, credit accounts, insurances to the judge was part of the immigration court hearing or not. There is not much info online about specifically how the immigration hearings get conducted specifically from the point of what the judge wants to see from the LPR before determining whether the immigrant should stay in the US or get deported instead?
Hi this is difficult to answer as many questions arise as I read your question. For one, what relief are you applying for in Immigration Court. If you are having an I-751 Petition reviewed which was filed based upon being divorced but having had a bona fide marriage, the Judge will absolutely review the documentation pertaining to whether the marriage is bona fide. On the other hand, if you are requesting voluntary departure, the Judge may not get into those details.Ask a similar question
Hi there and than you for your helpful answer. You re right, the I-751 is the issue here. I wanted to know/learn whether there are any reliefs available for I-751 adjustment of status. Interesting that you mentioned that for the I-751 petition review, the bonafides of the marriage will be reviewed by the judge. This is very important aspect to know beforehand and I would like to ask the types of bonafides the judges (in general) in my situation would be asking for. So what are those documentations you mentioned pertaining to the bonafides? Thank you very much for your answer.
Hello. Each judge, government prosecutor and case are different, so the evidence and strategy in a particular case will also vary. Work through the details with an attorney. Removal defense is a complicated area of the law and you wouldn't want to go through it without representation. Best of luck.
Kindly note that this posting is offered for informational purposes only. It does not constitute an attorney-client relationship. Remember, this site is akin to an internet blog. Do not rely on information here to make important decisions in your life. Make an appointment to meet with a licensed attorney in his or her office (or via Skype or phone) to obtain competent personal and professional guidance.Ask a similar question
Each case is different and the evidence presented in each case depends upon the various facts and circumstances in each case. You should consult an immigration attorney to discuss the specific issues in your case.
Disclaimer: The information provided here is generalized and should not be relied upon as legal advice. This communication does not create an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
If you fail to convince USCIS that the marriage is legitimate, USCIS will deny the U.S. citizen's I-130 petition on your behalf. The immigration judge has no jurisdiction over the I-130 petition - you will have to appeal the initial denial to the Board of Immigration Appeals or file a new I-130. But if you are already divorced by that time, you are, most likely, out of luck.
Gregory Romanovsky, Esq.
I did not have in mind I-130 at all if I am talking about the immigration judge and the courts. Not sure how the I-130 come into play in here. I also mentioned the notice to appear, which has nothing to do with I-130 in this case. I think you got the question wrong from the beginning )))
Your question asks what happens when "one gets a notice to appear for failing to convince the IO that the marriage was legit". This happens only in two contexts (a denied I-130 petition or a denied I-751 petition). You seem to be confused, and I would strongly suggest seeking professional representation.
It sounds to me like you are asking about removal of conditions of residence. You haven't provided enough information about your situation. I am assuming you are asking about removal of conditions, and that you are a conditional LPR who's marriage ended prior to filing the form I-751. USCIS generally adjudicates these applications and waivers, which are filed together on the form I-751. If USCIS denies your I-751 you are placed in a removal proceeding, but permitted to renew your application and waiver before the Immigration Judge.
In such a circumstance the legal issue is still the same, whether you qualify for a waiver of the joint filing requirement. Their are a few different waivers available, but generally the "good faith" waiver is the most common. You will need to establish that the marriage was entered into validly and in good faith. The evidence of this is not the same as evidence to establish the validity or bona-fides of your marriage in an I-130 petition. However, many times the evidence will overlap. If this is in fact your situation you will need to prove both that you entered into a marriage in good faith (or whatever justification you have for the waiver of the joint filing requirement) and also must establish the bona-fides of your marriage as you would in a typical I-751 application. You will definitely want to speak with an immigration attorney to make sure the evidence submitted is sufficient and will meet the necessary criteria.
You will need to provide evidence to the Immigration Judge, statements (or testimony) is also evidence, but subject to the IJ's determination of your believability. Testimony alone could very well be enough in some cases, but it is best not to rely solely upon that testimony if at all possible. Any evidence which helps to establish the necessary facts is appropriate and I wouldn't limit yourself in any way whatsoever. Generally you would provide all the evidence which is normally submitted to USCIS plus additional evidence to convince the IJ of your eligibility for the relief sought.
Removal is complicated, you should find a good immigration attorney to help. Good luck.
This answer should not prevent you from speaking to a lawyer and disclosing all facts about your case. Additionally, it should not prevent you from filing to see if you are eligible. Please seek an attorney for an initial consultation to review all the specific facts of your case.Ask a similar question
You said "You will need to provide evidence to the Immigration Judge, statements (or testimony) is also evidence, but subject to the IJ's determination of your believability. Testimony alone could very well be enough in some cases, " 1) No documented evidence for me, unfortunately. 2) Only testimony, but the USCIS has written fraud on the Notice to Appear because my wife sent them some materials about me; 3) I can only give them affidavits, but they are all from my own friends and I do not know if this would sound like I am telling my friends what to write.
I hate to give you the boiler-plate answer, but you really should locate an experienced immigration attorney to represent you in removal. You have two parts to the removal hearing. 1) you may want to contest grounds of removability, i.e. - defend against the allegations against you. 2) You will want to seek affirmative relief in the form of renewing your I-751 and waiver request before the Court. USCIS has to prove their case against you, they cannot simply allege fraud. They will have to present witnesses and other evidence, which you can contest. Their is no way around the need for witness testimony in your case. I doubt there is no document evidence which you could use, but you may need to be creative. If possible, bring your witnesses to the removal hearing rather than relying on the affidavits by themselves. The IJ will assess their credibility and if he finds them credible, it may be enough to counter any negative evidence against you. Again, the information you are seeking is highly specialized and technical legal advice, which I cannot give you without being your attorney. The proper way to defend against your removal is something only your attorney can tell you after reviewing your case and agreeing to represent you.

Currentfilm.com Review:
The latest from director John Schultz ("The Honeymooners" remake) is this rather cookie-cutter kiddie comedy, starring Ashley Tisdale in her first effort since appearing in the "High School Musical" series.
The film opens with Stuart (Kevin Nealon) and Nina (Gillian Vigman) taking children Bethany (Ashley Tisdale) and Tom (Carter Jenkins) and little sister Hannah (Ashley Boettcher) away for a getaway at their vacation house in a cottage at a sleepy Michigan town. Joined by Uncle Nathan (Andy Richter), cousins Jake (Austin Butler), Nana Rose (Doris Roberts) and twins Art (Henri Young) and Lee (Regan Young), the group plans on having a family reunion. However, things don't exactly go according to plan.
What initially starts off as "The Great Outdoors" (although nothing can be quite like that Candy/Ackroyd classic) gets merged with a bit of "Men in Black" (John Debney's score under the opening credits sounds an awful lot like some of Danny Elfman's work from "Men in Black") goofiness when a horde of aliens lands on the house and take up residence within the attic (hence the title.) Of course, the kids are well-aware of the threat (while the parents remain oblivious, as parents often do in these sort of films) and try to do what they can to stop the creatures before certain doom.
The actors are a little bland (although Richter, Nealson and Tisdale try their best) and one-note (and the alien creature designs are not exactly imaginative), but the movie does manage to get a few decently funny moments (an enjoyably bizarre kung fu sequence featuring Doris Roberts of "Everybody Loves Raymond") and lines (in a wild situation, one of the kids comments, "This isn't like XBOX, it's real, like Wii!") together. Additionally, the picture manages to zip along at a very brisk pace with a running time of just under 90 minutes.
"Aliens in the Attic" is cotton candy entertainment for kids and has a few moments , but one wonders if the picture would have been a bit more memorable and imaginative in the hands of a different filmmaker.
The DVD
VIDEO: "Aliens in the Attic" is presented in 1.85:1 (1080p/AVC) by Fox. While the presentation isn't without some minor concerns, this is otherwise a fine effort from the studio. Sharpness and detail aren't exceptional, but remain firmly above-average (although I wasn't crazy about the rather generic creature design of the aliens, the wrinkles of the alien skin looked well-defined), with only the occasional scene looking mildly softer.
No instances of noise or pixelation were noticed during the show, but a few light traces of edge enhancement were seen. Still, the majority of the running time looked clean and smooth.
SOUND: The DTS-HD 5.1 audio presentation delivers a moderately lively effort, with the surrounds kicking in to deliver effects and ambience during the handful of more lively sequences during the film. Audio quaity was fine, with well-recorded dialogue, music and effects.
EXTRAS: Tisdale provides intros to the film and the special features. We also get an alternate ending, deleted scenes, a gag reel, "Behind the Zirkonians" animated short, an interactive featurette, "The Ashley Encounters" featurette, "Lights, Camera, Aliens" featurette, "Kung Fu Grandma" featurette, "Life After Film School" featurette and Brian Anthony music video.
Final Thoughts: "Aliens in the Attic" is cotton candy entertainment for the kids; while it will likely entertain most in the single-digit audience just fine, one wonders what another filmmaker could have done with the concept. The Blu-Ray edition boasts very nice audio/video quality and a decent array of minor supplements. A passable rental for the younger crowd.

This blog was submitted by a friend of Giving Families, Sarah: Growing up I knew that my father donated blood on a regular basis. I remember him coming home wearing stickers that said, "Be nice to me, I gave blood today." I was always a little creeped out by the idea of his blood going into someone else's body. I remember asking him why he did it. His response was a simple one, "Other people need it and I have more than enough to share." My older siblings followed in his footsteps and became blood donors once they came of age, but I did not. The fear of the unknown was enough to keep me away.
That mindset changed in 2011. I was married. The mother of an adorable baby boy named Landon. And loving my life as a wife, mother and teacher. In July my husband and I were surprised to find out that we were expecting another child. We had hoped to expand our family at some point but hadn't planned on it happening quite so soon. We blissfully prepared to welcome our second child the same week our first would be turning one!
I began bleeding at 28 weeks. I was terrified that we were losing our baby. A trip to the hospital confirmed that thankfully our baby was fine, but I was not. Doctors informed me that I had a serious pregnancy complication known as Placenta Accreta. This complication occurs when blood vessels and other parts of the placenta grow too deeply into the uterine wall, making it difficult for the placenta to detach after childbirth, and often causing severe blood loss at the time of delivery.
At 32 weeks gestation, at the age of 32, I delivered my second child. My son, Jackson, was born via emergency c-section/hysterectomy. During his delivery I lost massive amounts of blood and received a life-saving blood transfusion. Waking up in the intensive care unit, and hearing doctors tell me I wouldn't be alive if it hadn't been for the blood products I received, was a wake up call. I suddenly realized why my father, and so many other selfless individuals, choose to donate blood…..it literally saves lives!
My son, Jackson - now five-years-old.
So many people want to help others but are hindered in doing so by the lack of time or money. Donating blood takes very little time and requires no money. It is quite honestly one of the easiest ways to make a significant difference in the lives of others.
I had to wait a year after my transfusion before I was eligible, but I have been a regular donor since that day. I'm not going to lie, the first time I went to donate I was terrified. I had all of the typical concerns….Is it gong to hurt? What if I pass out? How will I feel afterwards? But I quickly remembered that if someone else hadn't faced those same fears then I wouldn't even be here.
Me, giving blood to save someone's life the way someone saved mine.
In facing my fears I learned that blood donation is quite simple. It astounds me that something so easy for me can make such a difference to someone else. My goal is to donate back the full amount that I received, and then to continue donating for as long as I'm physically able to do so.
When I go to donate blood I often bring my boys (now ages 5 & 6) with me. They know that blood donors are the reason that their mommy is around to watch them grow up and they know that I'm doing my part to help make sure other people's loved ones are around for as long as possible. The first time they accompanied me they were a little worried about me. They probably had feelings similar to the ones I remember having as a child. I wondered if bringing them was the wrong thing to do, but I wanted to teach them to not be scared of the unknown, to embrace the opportunity to make a difference, and to share when they are able to do so.
My sons, Jackson (5) and Landon (6).
Through continued exposure they are now completely comfortable with the process. They talk about how Mommy saves lives and how they are going to do the same thing when they are old enough. They think coming with me to Hoxworth is fun. I'd like to think that they enjoy watching me be a super hero, but I'm pretty sure the free cookies help too!
If you're in the Cincinnati area - please mark your calendars for the 3rd annual Hope for Accreta blood drive on April 6, 2017 at all neighborhood Hoxworth donor centers open on Thursdays. Stay tuned for more info!

In order to lead, one must empower
Estimated reading time: 3 minutes
After a few posts having been based on teamwork and the importance of collaborating, it is time to talk about how the leader of the group can bring about those circumstances that will convert them into the being the leader.
To illustrate this, we will base ourselves on the model shown by Ken Blanchard in his book Leading at a Higher Level. Blanchard is one of the biggest experts in the world when it comes to the subject of leadership. His focus on the empowerment of teams can be of great use when it comes to managing a team.
Blanchard defines empowerment as "allowing people to take their minds to work and provide them with the possibility of using their knowledge, experience and motivation to create the expected results. A business climate must be created in which the knowledge, experience and motivation that reside in people can be freed.
Changing a hierarchical company culture for a culture of empowerment demands effort from the top. This is something that has to be born in the heart of the leader. To achieve this, there are three basic steps:
- Sharing information with everyone. This can mean having to reveal key or sensitive data but people need to have all of the information in order to make decisions. By seeing the big picture, each member of a team can understand the repercussion of their actions in a global context. In addition, the fact that they understand what their contribution means towards the end result, is psychologically more satisfying. Tools like Zyncro greatly facilitate this information exchange.
- Create autonomy. Boundaries according to the abilities of each individual and their position are created, but not in a rigid and arbitrary fashion. Steering away from the "this is your position and in it you do this particular work without stepping outside the line". Within these more flexible frontiers, the team members should have the liberty to make decisions and take responsibility for the results. This requires constant learning, but it turns standard employees into people that think for themselves. For example, it is the difference between, a service provider employee that resolves your problem or one that passes you with a supervisor.
- Replace hierarchies with teams that lead themselves. When people obtain the necessary information, receive the necessary training and feel empowered, they can create teams that manage themselves. These teams can carry out a wide range of decision making and organisation without the need for bureaucracy or the typical hierarchy. All of this largely facilitates processes and makes way for interesting initiatives. This leadership style is more in line with a social world, with a 2.0 world. An environment in which hierarchies are levelled out more each time, where each person can share their unique vision and add it to that of the rest of the team members. 2.0 companies are organisations that grow and grow and adapt themselves to what the 21st century market requires.
Do you believe in empowering leadership? Or do you believe in the hierarchical setup?

Well, you see, they could, if Japanese agricultural protectionism didn't get in the way. But it does and so they can't.

Aquifers under deserts tend to have rather saline groundwater, to the point the issue is often reducing the salt content enough to be potable. A supply of distilled water would be quite easy to handle; you just blend it with the water you're already drawing from wells.
It can be done pretty easily -- let people kill any wolves that come into populated areas, like they used to be allowed to do. The wolves that survive will be those that fear people and stick to the wilds.
And it's not like it would actually endanger the wolves -- the IUCN listing for them is Least Concern. The "Endangered Species Act" listing of them as "endangered" merely indicated they were rare in the lower 48 states; Canada, Alaska, Russia, and China have plenty.
But only if you're watching HD-DVDs in active-shutter 3D.
Pale Moon is a long-established fork of Firefox that, among other things, is maintaining NPAPI support.
If your plan for employing people is to waste their labor in inefficiency, it's trivial to invent make-work for them. So go create a Hole-Digging Administration and a Department of Hole-Filling and set both sets of workers loose with spoons.
An approximation of this was done by many publishers with textbooks. The result was importation of the cheaper overseas editions of textbooks into the US. And the US Supreme Court ruled that the First Sale Doctrine covers imported copyrighted works.
There was at one point a section in the Red Book for genuinely quadraphonic audio CDs, but there was no uptake on the format, and it was dropped from the IEC versions of the standard.
First, it's explicit in the Constitution that "Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two thirds, expel a member." Whatever rules a House likes for its proceedings are the rules, and whatever punishment it designates for violating them is the punishment. The case law on that goes on to state that this means that the courts may not hear a case on such matters; no Federal court has the authority to even hear a case on the rules, much less get to the point that it can rule whether something is free speech or not.
Second, the Speech or Debate Clause only protects members form being held responsible "in any other Place"; their own House is perfectly allowed to hold them responsible for what they say. In accordance with the previous bit.
Third, this isn't a law, it's a proposed rule of the House, in the decidedly non-public forum of the floor of the House. The First Amendment doesn't remotely apply, at all, either literally or in any of its court-extended meanings. Even if the courts were allowed to rule on the rule (see the first problem), current precedent would fall on the side of the rulemakers.
Well, I bought "this crap" (that is, a Netgear router) because it was a dual-band AC router, supported by my favored third-party firmware, on sale for under $60.
I didn't give a crap about any deficiencies in the native firmware because I was using my own.
Over/under on the expropriation of the hardware by the Cuban government?
Yep. The R6400 and R7000 are both supported by both DD-WRT, and Tomato by Shibby. I think OpenWRT only supports the R7000
It's the size of a Poland. Bigger than an Italy, smaller than a Germany.
Read the summary again. It wasn't a "dummy" bomb, it was a real Mark IV nuclear bomb.
What it didn't have was the fissile core loaded. Which is exactly what would be expected; the Mark IV was designed to have the core loaded into the bomb by the aircrew during the flight.
So, it certainly wasn't a dummy bomb; it was a real Mark IV, with the normal uranium and TNT in the casing. But it almost certainly wasn't a live nuclear bomb, because there would have been no reason at all for the plutonium core to have been loaded on the plane, and even if the plutonium was on the plane, no reason at all for the aircrew to load the plutonium into the bomb.
Real bomb and no plutonium core.
Mmm. There was an underlying social movement involving the engagement ring. As US courts became more reluctant to award damages in breech-of-promise suits, valuable rings as a mark of engagement became more common. If the man broke the engagement, the woman kept it, thus collecting the value of the ring without having to go to court. If she broke it off, she was expected to return it; courts, in fact, would enforce the demand for the return.
The standardization on diamond rings was very much DeBeers marketing; initially, rubies were actually more popular. But the underlying phenomena didn't have particularly much to do with the traditional wedding ring at all.
