Extensive distribution networks endow insurance company with a wealth of opportunities
Bancassurance is one of the fastest growing industries worldwide as comprehensive financial support for ageing societies is becoming ever more widespread.
BOC Group Life Assurance Co Ltd is acutely aware of this growing need for protective financial cushioning in times of difficulty and has recorded robust growth in premium income year on year.
"As a member of the Bank of China group, we enjoy a prominent position with regards to the provision of exceptional services to our clientele. For example, our vast branch network boasts more than 280 distribution points in Hong Kong alone," says Candy Yuen, chief executive officer, BOC Group Life Assurance.
The combination of sophisticated sales channels and established client communities —k ey success factors in the insurance domain —h as paved the way for outstanding performance. Indeed, BOC Group Life Assurance registered more than 80 per cent business increase in the first quarter of 2008.
As a result of this rapid development, the company has expanded its workforce to cope with the rise in operational workload, exploration of new products and the addition of new service units.
In particular, an insurance specialist team is in place to provide insurance services to the customers at branch level. The specialist team currently comprises 19 members. To meet anticipated growth, the company is now looking to increasing this number to 80 by the end of this year. In a bid to offer customers added convenience, plans for a mobile sales team are also in the pipeline. It is expected that this team of 65 highly mobilised personnel will serve customers at a place and time most convenient for them.
Runaway growth
"Our goal is to increase the number of back office staff to a total of 200 by the end of the year," Ms Yuen explains, while expressing her appreciation to the current team of highly committed associates.
To this end, hiring activities are already firmly established in all sectors of BOC Group Life Assurance, including marketing and product development. The HR initiatives are aligned with the company's focus on advancing delivery of comprehensive and innovative insurance products based on customer requirements.
Mid-office recruitment for risk management, compliance and audit is also on the rise to ensure consistent quality levels are maintained as the company's sales escalate.
"In view of the company's penetration rate, there is ample room for further development. With the creation of various insurance-linked products catering to different sectors of our client base, we are confident about future achievements," Ms Yuen remarks.
Meanwhile, to capitalise on the potential of more than one million BOC credit card accounts, the company has a telemarketing team of 60 staff promoting simplified insurance-related products which do not require face-to-face consultations.
Rapid reactions
Telemarketers involved in the promotion need to have sophisticated soft skills and the ability to think fast. These skills help them capture business opportunities during typically brief conversations held with Hong Kong residents who have little time for chitchat.
Regarding quality control, according to Ms Yuen, only 30 people, despite a target of 60, were selected from almost 200 candidates when the team was first built last year.
"A major tenet of our hiring strategy is never to prioritise meeting staff numbers. Instead, we ensure the acquisition process is incredibly thorough to get the right people in terms of attitude and competence. Quality counts when it comes to sales goals and to this end we strive to provide all customers with the products best suited to them, rather than focus on a hard sell approach," Ms Yuen stresses.
In return, associates working at BOC Group life Assurance receive professional perks stretching beyond a competitive salary. "It is clear that within the greater BOC family, our employees' future is not limited to life insurance only. The broad spectrum of financial businesses in our group offers various opportunities for team members via different platforms, such as job rotation, cross-functional secondment and cross-border relocation," Ms Yuen notes.
Strategically placed to leverage the enormous opportunities resulting from regional growth, BOC serves as a gateway to and from the huge China market. Regarding the future, both BOC and its existing staff rest on the solid foundation of a banking group which is firmly established locally and regionally.
Being one of the biggest employers in Hong Kong, the BOC group actively encourages dynamic interaction among its people across all levels to promote synergy and life-long learning. For people who appreciate a "work hard, play hard" style, BOC Group Life Assurance provides a perfect opportunity because a work-life balance is one of the key elements of Ms Yuen's leadership philosophy. To achieve this, staff recreational activities are organised regularly, including parties, special interest classes, sporting events and competitions.
"On the one hand, our job nature is performance driven. On the other, we treat our people as our most important assets. We want our colleagues to enjoy life here —e specially after work. They are entitled to some fun, as well as quality time with their family," Ms Yuen concludes.

I thought it would be fun to photograph some easy wedding extras. We have all heard of dessert bars and candy bars right? 🙂 Bar's are good for anything and everything–I think it is because people get to make their own choices at a bar–and they get involved. Who doesn't love a mashed potato bar or salad bar? I know I do–I love that I get to customize it to fit me 🙂 You can make a wedding bar for anything–ice cream, fruit salad, waffles etc. Here are just a few that I did 🙂 Hot cocoa, cookies, popcorn, mimosa, and custom/themed wedding drink bar.

(DES MOINES, IA) October 14, 2013—David Young, Republican U.S. Senate candidate and former Chief of Staff to Senator Chuck Grassley, today announced he raised $112,334 in the third quarter, bringing total fundraising to $265,129—leading the race by more than $10,000.
"I am very grateful to the countless individuals who have gotten behind my message to rein in the federal government with fresh conservative ideas, and have donated their time, energy and resources to my campaign over the past few months," said David Young.
"As I visit all of Iowa's 99 counties, I hear from folks from the Mississippi River to the Missouri River that Washington is out of control with over-spending, over-taxing and over-regulating. I've seen the beast up close working for Senator Grassley, and I know how to slay it. I will restore trust and accountability to the government as U.S. Senator by dismantling the bureaucracy in Washington, DC and getting our great nation back on track."
David Young of Van Meter is Republican candidate for U.S. Senate and the former Chief of Staff for Senator Chuck Grassley. He has visited 98 of Iowa's 99 counties and will wrap up the tour this week. For more information on David or to receive campaign updates, visit www.YoungForIowa.com.

There once lived a man, born to a mortal but blessed with powers divine. Conjuring a collection of glaives he dispelled the darkness plaguing our star. As a reward for his efforts, the god granted him a holy Stone—the Crystal, which he was to guard at all costs, for it would one day choose a King to see us through the coming disaster and lead us to salvation.
Kings of Lucis form the Lucis Caelum bloodline that wields the Crystal's powers by birthright in the Final Fantasy XV Universe. They are the monarchs of the kingdom of Lucis. According to legend, the Crystal is of divine origin and was bestowed to humanity alongside the Ring of the Lucii, which harnesses the Crystal's power for a chosen few.[1]
Lunafreya Nox Fleuret refers to the kings' spirits as the Lucii (pronounced: lucy-eye) in Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, saying "He who holds the Ring communes with the Lucii and commands great power." However, the kings are not called Lucii in Final Fantasy XV outside the lore tutorial "The Magic of the Lucii" and some of the bestiary entries, being referred to simply as "the kings of Lucis".
The Crystal is the divine cornerstone of the Kingdom of Lucis. The Stone has a will of its own, and channels its sacred power through the Ring of the Lucii to the monarch who bears it. Monarchs in the line of Lucis have the innate ability to conjure magical weapons. A handful of close attendants are also afforded access to this selfsame power. The magical barrier known as the Wall has long kept the empire at bay, and thereby maintained the peace, yet not entirely without struggle. Sustaining the Wall imposes an immense physical burden upon the king, but to let it fall for even a moment would be to invite destruction.
When a monarch of Lucis dies, their spirit is taken by the Ring of the Lucii. The one who wears the ring can communicate with the spirits of the past kings and queens, and the ring is what links the past monarchs spirits to the mortal realm. Although spirits that dwell in the "realm beyond" cannot usually influence the mortal realm, the past kings of Lucis are special in this regard, as the monarchs can combine their powers across generations in a phenomenon known as the bonding of the souls. The "bonding" can extend to those outside of the Lucian lineage at the monarch's behest, as shown in Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV where the Kingsglaive wield some of King Regis's magic, and in Final Fantasy XV where Prince Noctis's friends share in some of his powers, such as forging weapons from thin air and using magical potions and Elemancy. During Noctis and his friends' travels, potions and elixirs gain their healing power from Noctis[2]—without him, they would be just regular soda. In Final Fantasy XV: Comrades, the Glaives can use some of the Lucian kings' powers via sigils said to be protective relics of past monarchs.
The kings are entombed across Eos in hidden royal tombs, and leave behind weapons of their legacy known as royal arms to empower their descendants who seek them out. Only those of the Lucian lineage can brandish the royal arms, which glow when grasped by their rightful wielders. Using the royal arms drains the wielder's health, but they are especially good against beings of the dark, the antithesis to the Crystal and its light.
The Lucian bloodline has a special power to brandish their inherited royal arms all at once, although this state can't usually be sustained for long. The weapons will materialize as crystalline silhouettes that circle the king who can rapidly attack their opponent with a new weapon each hit. Royal arms in their physical form bear illustrious designs on their own, with elaborate details, including light ray indentations and protruding angel wing motifs, and hued with the color and finish of precious metals, keeping true as weapons once wielded by royalty.
The Crystal is a magical stone said to be of divine origin that is a source of immense power. Though its light is said to be for the benefit of all of mankind, only the kings of Lucis have been gifted the ability to wield its power. The Final Fantasy XV Scenario Ultimania posits that than being able to use the Crystal's true power, kings of Lucis have the responsibility of protecting it, and that the Crystal picks the "Chosen King" when disaster comes to the world.[2]
For the last 150 years, the king who protects the Crystal has shielded it from outsiders by maintaining the Wall, a magical barrier that isolates Lucis from the rest of the world. Upholding the Wall drains the king's life-force, accelerating their aging. Having conquered all other lands, bar Lucis behind its magic barrier, Niflheim Empire reigns supreme, only repelled by those who derive their power from the Crystal.
The Old Wall is a series of towering statues strewn throughout the Crown City of Insomnia. Honoring the ancient kings of Lucis, who dwell within the Ring of the Lucii, it activates when the city is in danger at the behest of the current king if they are strong enough, or one deemed worthy by the kings of old. According to the Final Fantasy XV Scenario Ultimania, the statues were created 2000 years ago to serve as coffins to each hold the soul of a dead monarch. From these coffins, the monarchs would await the coming of the "Chosen King." The statues were also intended to serve as the Wall that protects the kingdom of Lucis.[3]
The Immortal AccursedEdit
The man who was to become the first king of Lucis was rejected by the Crystal before his ascension to the throne for the darkness that had come to inhabit him. He was cast aside and the Crystal chose another in his stead.
The FounderEdit
The king who lived 2,000 years ago who was served by Gilgamesh as his sworn shield. Shield of the King from here on becomes a title given to the Lucian monarch's main bodyguard.
The WiseEdit
Believed to be the first king who raised the Wall of the Lucian Kingdom. Known to wield a simple sword. His spirit in the Ring of the Lucii appears with multiple dark wings.
The ConquerorEdit
A king said to have lived in times of chaos, who rose as a champion that united the Lucian continent and fought for his peoples, allowing them to usher in a great age of prosperity. Known to have wielded a halberd.
The CleverEdit
A king who was said to be well versed in the arts, be it the physical, the intellectual, martial, or that of skill. Known to have wielded a crossbow.
The WandererEdit
A king who found no boundary nor limit to the land and wandered the world, going where no man had gone to before. Known to have wielded daggers that could combine into an enormous besieging weapon.
The MysticEdit
The first king who rose to protect the Oracle. Known to have wielded a greatsword. Out of all the royal arms, Noctis displays a preference for the Blade of the Mystic, as he wields it the most out of all battle features in which he wields a royal arm.
The Mystic is the most prominent king in Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV. He talks to Nyx Ulric and is the last king standing at the battle's end. The Mystic has holes on his helmet and two wings on top of it. The back of his armor has something similar to a bony tail, like the Crownsguard does. The winged/horned helmet and the "tail" could allude to Bahamut. The Mystic statue's greatsword breaks in the last moments of the battle the Old Wall wages against Diamond Weapon, so he tosses it aside and punches the Weapon. Nyx digs his kukri into the Mystic's armor to follow the king warping away.
The OracleEdit
Though the Oracles are known as the royalty of Tenebrae, one of the royal arms is the Trident of the Oracle, and one of the thirteen statues of the Old Wall in Insomnia is a seemingly female figure who wields a giant version of the trident in the battle against the Diamond Weapons. In Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV Nyx and Glauca end up fighting on her shoulder, but she tosses her trident and warps away and Nyx and Glauca fall. The horn at the front of her helmet resembles a bird. The statue has a busty chest, long cape and heavier body compared to the others.
In Final Fantasy XV: Comrades, the Oracle's Sigil enhances the bearer's curative spells.
The RogueEdit
Believed to be the first queen, who disliked the watch of the public eye and took to the shadows to enact her rule. Known to have wielded a shuriken.
In Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV she jumps at the arriving Diamond Weapon and threatens it enough uses its main attack. She wears high heels, and in her statue form, she holds up a collapsing cliff after Niflheim's first attack.
In Final Fantasy XV: Comrades, The Rogue's Sigil enables the bearer to perform a mid-air step after attacking.
The TallEdit
A king known by his girth and strength, alluded to like that of a mountain. Known to have wielded a chainsaw-like greatsword.
In Final Fantasy XV: Comrades, The Tall's Sigil enhances the bearer's attack power, but prevents them from casting curative spells.
The JustEdit
A queen who devoted all efforts to uphold peace in her rule of the Lucian Kingdom, and was beloved in turn by her peoples for her serenity. Known to have wielded a tall shield.
The FierceEdit
A king famous for his personality; to his peoples, a kind, loving, and just king; to his enemies, a veritable demon of merciless brutality. Known to have wielded a great mace.
In Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV the statue wielding a colossal mace wreaks perhaps the most damage, destroying buildings as he goes. Even after losing his arms the statue still continues, but is the only statue who is defeated. His most prominent feature is the disc on his head.
The PiousEdit
A king known for his eponymous piousness, leading the Lucian Kingdom with a rule guided by divine principles and worked closely with the Oracle of his era. Known to have wielded a scepter that smote with a blade of light.
In Final Fantasy XV: Comrades, The Pious's Sigil enables the bearer to cast two offensive spells in a row.
The WarriorEdit
A king whose life was forever changed when his beloved queen was killed by assailants. Believed to have wandered the world and waged an era of global war fueled by a vendetta of bereavement, and is speculated to be the king whose worship inspired the Safety Bit accessory. Known to have wielded a katana, a weapon not of the lands of Lucis, and is the only king laid to rest outside of his home nation.
The FatherEdit
Regis Lucis Caelum, the 113th King of the Lucian Dynasty. Known for the love of his family, and for wielding a saber-like sword. Regis made a trip across the lands of Lucis before his coronation. Regis is the son of King Mors Lucis Caelum, who consolidated the power of the barrier over Insomnia.
In the Old Calendar Era, the Astral god Ifrit began the Great War of Old that killed millions, and became known as the Betrayer. Ifrit sent forth the Starscourge, a plague upon the planet that lengthens the night and turns people into daemons, and according to some accounts, was himself corrupted by it. Ifrit is opposed by the other Astrals who want to purge the darkness Ifrit brings forth by the powers of light. Bahamut handpicked two people who would become able to wield divine powers to counteract the Starscourge, and to one day save the world from it. This became the prophecy of the True King.
According to legend, Bahamut picked the first Oracle from the land of Tenebrae. The Oracle's calling is to help the king of Lucis, and has the power to commune with the Astrals and heal those afflicted with Starscourge. Bahamut also gifted the king of Lucis the Crystal alongside the Ring of the Lucii, so that one day the True King would be born of their lineage and banish Starscourge from the world. The Lucian kings are sworn to protect the Crystal until that day arrives, and gain the ability to use various magical abilities as facilitated by the Crystal. The Crystal exudes great magical power, and is said to hold the soul of the world.
The Lucian royalty can combine their powers across generations, as the one who wears the Ring of the Lucii can wield the powers of the kings of old. Thus, the power of the Crystal gradually concentrates until the king who wields all of the Crystal's power will be crowned the True King. The True King is said to surpass even the gods and have the power to banish the darkness from the world at the cost of his own life.
With the plan to cleanse the world of Starscourge in motion, Bahamut appears to have disappeared from Eos. Ardyn Lucis Caelum was going to be the first king of Lucis, chosen to save Eos. He was revered for a time as he absorbed countless daemons to save thousands across the world. He was denounced by the Astrals as unclean, denied entry to the Astral Realm, and demonized by a jealous future king (likely Ardyn's relative, as he also was of the Lucis Caelum royal bloodline) who later became chosen by the Crystal. As his transition rendered him immortal, Ardyn took the surname of "Izunia" and vowed to one day have his revenge on the Caelum dynasty and the Crystal.
Millennia pass, and the 113th king of Lucis is Regis Lucis Caelum CXIII. Though the Wall he upholds only now covers the Crown City, his health is failing him at 50, and he only has one heir: the 20-year-old Prince Noctis. Regis ponders for how much longer he can keep projecting the Wall, but is reluctant to pass the torch onto his beloved son, knowing it would in time do the same to him. Fifteen years ago the old kings of Lucis told Regis that Noctis will be the Chosen King spoken of in legend.[3] Regis eventually decides to accept a suspicious peace treaty with Niflheim, with whom Lucis has warred for hundreds of years, and sends Noctis away from the city before the signing is to take place to keep him safe and to give him the best chance of fulfilling the prophecy.
During the treaty-signing Niflheim forces draw their weapons upon the Lucians and war breaks out amid the Crown City. Emperor Iedolas Aldercapt and Ardyn—who has established himself as the chancellor of Niflheim—steal the Crystal and the Wall dissipates. The Crown City is invaded by daemons and magitek troops. General Glauca is tasked with taking the Ring of the Lucii from the king, and it is also sought by Ravus Nox Fleuret, the former prince of Tenebrae who is of the Oracles' bloodline. Ravus begrudges Regis and his kingdom for having abandoned Tenebrae when Niflheim invaded it, and believes his heritage entitles him to the ring's powers and could make him the True King. When he acquires the ring and puts it on however, he is judged unworthy by the past kings and the ring burns him, although he survives with a lost limb.
Regis is accompanied by Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, the Oracle and Ravus's sister who has never blamed Regis for Tenebrae's downfall. She is Prince Noctis's childhood friend and considers her calling to be helping him become the Chosen King. They are protected by a member of the Kingsglaive, an elite unit of soldiers for whom Regis has lent the ability to use his magic: Nyx Ulric. Regis passes on the Ring of the Lucii to Luna with instructions to take it to Noctis. He stays behind to fight Glauca to give Luna and Nyx time to escape, and is killed, his spirit entering the ring.
Nyx is soon attacked by one of his fellow Glaives who has turned against the monarchy, Luche Lazarus. Luche is tricked into putting on the ring and is deemed unworthy by the past kings and burned alive. Nyx's superior, Titus Drautos, reveals himself to be Glauca, and attempts to claim the ring. Nyx puts it on and finds himself in another dimension, where he speaks to the deceased Lucian kings and faces their judgment.
When the kings see Nyx fights for the future, at the spirit of King Regis's urging, they grant him their power in exchange for his life. Nyx passes the ring to Luna, then uses the Ring of the Lucii's power to engage Glauca. The resulting battle sees Glauca fatally stabbed by Nyx, with the empire's daemons destroyed by the Old Wall, summoned effigies of the past kings of Lucis. Nyx dies at dawn as part of the blood price of using the ring's powers.
Luna escapes Insomnia with the Ring of the Lucii and eventually makes her way to Altissia where she speaks with her brother Ravus. She asks him to take the ring to Noctis as she is collapsing from the strain of her duties, but he turns away at the sight of it, and says delivering the ring to the Chosen King is her duty. Although Ravus doesn't think Noctis is worthy of Luna's sacrifice, he has come to believe the prince is the only one who can become the True King.
Noctis is on a journey to collect the royal arms of his forebears and forge covenants with the Astrals with faraway help from Luna. He believes his mission is to reclaim his kingdom by toppling the empire, and is initially unaware of his role as the True King. He is being helped by Ardyn Izunia, although Noctis doesn't like or trust him. Though chancellor of Niflheim, Ardyn is actually Noctis's immortal ancestor and an embodiment of darkness and the Starscourge, as his soul has been corrupted by daemonic influence. Though also a Lucis Caelum, Ardyn has fallen from the gods' and the Crystal's favor and his name has been scrubbed from history books. He seeks to extinguish the Lucian bloodline as revenge, and defeat the True King. Knowing that this is Noctis's fate, Ardyn helps the prince get the full powers of the Crystal so that he could then destroy him.
Luna calls upon the souls of Lucian kings when Noctis fights the Astral Leviathan to forge a covenant with her. The kings answer, the royal tombs across the land light up, and Noctis enters a sustained mode of Armiger, the power of kings that lets him wield all of his royal arms simultaneously. Noctis receives the Ring of the Lucii from a dying Luna, and eventually makes his way to the imperial capital where the Crystal now lies. His mission has shifted from just reclaiming Lucis to that of saving the world, as without Luna keeping the darkness of the Starscourge at bay, daylight is rapidly vanishing from the world. Noctis believes he can use the Crystal's power of light to fight the darkness, but when he finds the Crystal he is absorbed inside it. He meets Bahamut and learns he must sacrifice his life to bring light back to the world. Noctis sleeps inside the heart of the Crystal for ten years, during which Eos is plunged into an eternal night and daemons take over the world. People's only hope is that the fabled King of Light of the Lucian lineage will come as per the prophecy.
Noctis returns ten years later and confronts Ardyn in the ruins of Insomnia to where the former has taken the Crystal. Ardyn ushers Ifrit upon Noctis, but he prevails with the help of the other Astrals. Noctis battles Ardyn both wielding the power of kings, but Noctis emerges victorious and ultimately kills Ardyn by drawing his royal arms and striking him with each one.
He calls upon the spirits of past Lucian kings to be able to confront Ardyn's spirit in the afterlife. The spirits of the old kings attack Noctis until his soul is taken by the ring, and his spirit enters a realm of full of light similar to the place inside the Crystal where he had met Bahamut. Noctis uses the power of light to banish darkness from the world and erase Ardyn's soul. The prophecy fulfilled, the Ring of the Lucii disintegrates as the Lucian bloodline ends with Noctis's death. His spirit appears upon the throne of Lucis marked Noctis Lucis Caelum CXIV with Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, the last Oracle.
Lucis, meaning "of the light," is the genitive singular form of the Latin word lux, which means "light."
Caelum means "sky" in Latin.
- There being thirteen past kings who aid Noctis in his final struggle, as well as thirteen royal arms, is an allusion to number thirteen, as per the game's origins as Final Fantasy Versus XIII.
- The Lucian kings could also be compared to l'Cie from the Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy series to which Final Fantasy Versus XIII was part of, as they have a mission to a Crystal. "Lucis", "Lucii" and "l'Cie" sound similar, although this could be a coincidence. Both the Lucian kings from Final Fantasy XV and l'Cie from Fabula Nova Crystallis are also homage to Warriors of Light, the traditional Final Fantasy heroes who answer the calling of a crystal.
- Lucis had a more overt relationship to the Grim Reaper in earlier drafts, but this was toned down due to ratings concerns.[4] Imagery relating to skulls still appears among the main cast's outfits and the insignia of Lucis. This may allude to the revering of the dead kings.
- The spirits of the past kings allude to the Knights of the Round, a recurring summon in the series. The thirteen Lucian kings of old appear during the final encounter, similar to how the Knights of the Round perform when summoned in Final Fantasy VII.
- Despite being referred to as the Kings of Lucis, there have been queens reported to rule Lucis as depicted in their royal arms that survived and found their way to Noctis.
- Gilgamesh can phase, similar to the power of the Kings of Lucis. When he phases, he leaves behind muted red holograms.
- According to the research notes found in Zegnautus Keep, Niflheim continues developing a Wallbreaker Wave that can neutralize all magical phenomena exhibited by Lucian royalty.

News story
Foreign Office Minister meets Libyan Culture Minister
- From:
- Foreign & Commonwealth Office and The Rt Hon Alistair Burt MP
- Part of:
- Peace and stability in the Middle East and North Africa and Libya
- Published:
- 7 February 2012
This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government
Foreign Office Minister Alistair Burt and Dr Atia Lawgali discussed the development of civil society during their meeting on 7 Feb.
Speaking following his meeting with Libyan Deputy Minister of Culture and Civil Society, FCO Minister for the Middle East and North Africa, Alistair Burt, said:
"I was delighted to meet today with Dr Atia Lawgali, Libyan Deputy Minister of Culture and Civil Society. We agreed that the development of civil society - associations, charities, and campaign groups that can represent different groups and stakeholders - is vitally important to the creation of a society where all views can be heard. Such groups were severely restricted under the Qadhafi regime but, as I saw when I visited Libya last December, a vibrant civil society is emerging. I am delighted that the Deputy Minister is visiting the UK to see how such groups work alongside government - both holding it to account and working with it to achieve common objectives.
"Tomorrow parliamentary colleagues and I will also meet with NGOs and MPs to discuss further how the UK government can strengthen efforts to ensure women are properly represented in the new Libya. As part of our support to Libya's transition, I am pleased that the UK will be funding projects to help civil society groups empower women, youth and minority groups (to play a full part in the political process). This follows our funding last year, for a groundbreaking conference on the role of women in Libya."

Stabbing at Upper Mt Gravatt4:30
A woman has been stabbed to death and a man wounded at a hotel in Upper Mt Gravatt overnight.
DETECTIVES are investigating if a murdered Singaporean student found in a Brisbane hotel was to be involved in an arranged marriage.
Police sources told Th e Courier-Mail horrific stab wounds were inflicted on the student's stomach in one of the most brutal attacks seen.
Meena Narayanan, 27, was stabbed to death, her body found inside a third-floor room at the Travelodge in Upper Mount Gravatt early yesterday.
#MH370 Australian family: The message nobody wanted
Clive Palmer skips Parliament to party
Screams were heard coming from the hotel room and police forced their way in, where they found the dead woman just after 12.30am, after a staff member called triple-0.
A man, 31, who police will allege stabbed the student to death, was found with suspected self-inflicted wounds and taken to the PA Hospital in a serious condition.
The man, an Indian from South Africa, was under police guard last night.
A knife was also seized by police after the stabbing.
Detective Inspector Tod Reid said the woman's family were assisting police investigations.
The woman's brother arrived in Brisbane last night from Singapore and was too distraught to speak.
"Her family are quite distraught obviously and we're speaking with them at the moment to gather background as to why this incident happened," Det Insp Reid said.
Online profiles stated the 27-year-old had worked in finance and accounting positions in the past few years in Singapore and was studying a masters of business in Brisbane at QUT.
Meena in February last year wrote on social media that she was enjoying her life after passing an exam.
"I'm very happy. Today marks another milestone in my life. A lot has happened and is still going on. Goes to show that when going gets tough … the tough gets going. However I wldnt have made it half as far without the support from my loved ones. You know who u all are!" the post read.

Greetings fellow Linux users! I use Linux regularly, but I am still learning!
I am trying to move a bunch of files that are in nested sub directories into one common folder. They all end in .dcm. To do this in the past I have done the following:
foreach sub (subject1 subject2 . . .subjectn)
pushd $sub
mkdir common_folder
set files = (`find ./ -name "*dcm"`)
mv $files ./common_folder
For some reason this is only working for a portion of the subjects. For the others, this is happening:
set: No match
But when I'm in that subject's directory and execute
find ./ -name "*dcm" (no tilted quotes, var assignment, etc)
I see a list of the files I want to move and their paths. So then I do this:
set files = (`find ./ -name "*dcm"`)
and I get
set: No match.
I have tried the following:
set dcms = "*dcm"
set files = (`find ./ -name "${dcms}"`)
set files = (find ./ -name "${dcms}")
set files = `find ./ -name "${dcms}"`
set files = (`find ./ -name \*dcm`)
set files = ( `find ./ -name "*dcm" -print` )
set files = ( `find ./ -print -name "*dcm"` )
set files = (`find ./ -print`)
What, pray tell, am I missing?

By: State Senator Mary Kay Papen and Congressman Steve Pearce
Washington, DC (Dec. 7, 2014) Today, we in the United States face an unprecedented variety and quantity of threats against our safety. From Chinese cyber aggression, to the possibility of ISIS terror attacks – our nation must defend itself. In order to do that, our military requires the ability to train and adapt to threats as they emerge and evolve, as well as the ability to develop and test new technology that will assist in strengthening our security.
There is only one military installation in the world that is able to provide this dual capability for the U.S. – White Sands Missile Range (WSMR).
WSMR is the nation's premier development and test facility. Unlike any other range, WSMR allows the military to conduct live tests of everything from Patriot missiles to laser interceptors.
This diversity is possible because of WSMR's size and location. Covering roughly 4,000 square miles, with 100 percent restricted airspace; the Army, Navy, and Air Force have a unique environment to create and engage in virtually any test that is needed.
Under current global conditions – this versatility makes WSMR invaluable to our national security and the protection of our men and women in uniform. Unfortunately, some appear to believe that corporate profits come before the defense and security of the United States.
In 2008, the SunZia Corporation began plans to construct a 515 mile long transmission line across New Mexico to Arizona. Utilizing alternative energy sources, the line will support Phoenix and other large Arizona cities with significant energy assistance.
To be clear, we support the prospects of alternative energy development in New Mexico, and we do not oppose the construction of the SunZia transmission project. What is unsupportable is the route.
Currently, the route would directly impact WSMR by cutting through an important section of the installation. It is utilized for nearly 30 percent of the test and evaluation operations ongoing at WSMR, and this percentage will increase in coming years. Routing the line through this area will cripple the military's ability to conduct critical tests, jeopardizing not just the survival of WSMR, but the safety and security of American soldiers and American citizens.
The SunZia transmission line is projected to cost more than one billion dollars, but construction has not begun. Final environmental impact studies have yet to be completed, and so, alterations to the route can still be made with little difficulty, delay or cost. Not to mention it would be easier to construct next to existing power lines – like those already along Highway 60. Yet, for the last 6 years, SunZia has fought to route the transmission line through WSMR.
We have yet to understand why, and our support remains solidly behind the mission of the Range.
Earlier this fall, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel agreed to mitigation terms that would allow the line to cut across WSMR, with the requirement of three small buried sections.
From day one, the Department of Defense opposed any effort that would impact the viability and flexibility of WSMR, while the Department of the Interior seemed determined to approve the line regardless of the security and economic implications it has for New Mexico and the nation.
However, after senior officials at the White House were briefed on SunZia's project and the conflict that existed, Defense suddenly agreed to approve the transmission line, despite crossing WSMR.
We struggle to understand how anyone could believe it is more important to prioritize the construction of a transmission line, than to protect the nation's top test and evaluation site, which is unlike anywhere else in the world. In the end, it seems as though an unfortunate compromise was made, placing corporate profits over national security. This is unwise and dangerous.
The Albuquerque Journal, Las Cruces Sun-News, Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce and Governor Martinez, have all opposed SunZia compromising WSMR's mission. The Range provides nearly $1 billion annually in revenue for New Mexico, and employs roughly 10,000 of our friends, family members and neighbors. Most importantly, it provides our military with the spring board to conceptualize, develop and test the next generation of defense capabilities to face any threat against the United States head on.
White Sands Missile Range is fundamental to national defense, and to obstruct its mission is to invite peril.

In a new offseason series, Insider takes an in-depth look at NFL teams before free agency begins March 12. What is each team's philosophy on offense and defense, biggest needs and one player who could make for an ideal signing in free agency?
Team philosophies
Offense -- A lot of people assume that new head coach Chip Kelly will install an offense with similarities to the one that he ran at Oregon, but that is not necessarily the case. Early indications are that the fast-paced unique Ducks offense will only be a part of the new Eagles attack and Kelly seems to be a guy who will adjust this philosophy to better fit the NFL. A big adjustment for this new offense will be pass protection, which will be a challenge for Kelly. Bringing in former Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur will really help because he is a strong run game advocate. We will see combo blocking looks, mostly between the tackles, with more heavy formations, likely using multiple tight end sets and a lead fullback. The passing game will be creative with the screen pass as part of the offense, and play-action off of the running game should be productive. This will be a hybrid offense and the creativity will be fun to watch.

Excellent fit and look as expected from Memphis Shades!
Fit the bike perfectly. The "adjustibility" requires some compromise as far as the look of the plates are concerned (they can't be a "clean" as rigid plates) but they are definately well designed.
Using this part my sport windshield looks clean and blends into the front of my 09 dyna nicely.

Mike Ramsay, co-founder of digital video recording pioneer TiVo, is stepping down as chief executive as the company reshapes itself and struggles to fend off stiffening competition...
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Mike Ramsay, co-founder of digital video recording pioneer TiVo, is stepping down as chief executive as the company reshapes itself and struggles to fend off stiffening competition.
Ramsay, 55, said yesterday he will remain as the board chairman but will give up the helm he held for eight years after a successor is found.
The announcement comes one week after the company had shining and dampening moments.

TiVo unveiled details of how it plans to take its digital video-recording services beyond the basic set-top-box onto other devices and to help deliver Internet-based video content. Its new TiVoToGo service feature was highlighted by Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft, which has agreed to support TiVo-recorded television programming on its portable media players.
Then DirecTV, whose satellite customers accounted for about two-thirds of TiVo's 2.3 million subscribers as of the end of October, announced it will soon introduce a new set-top-box using the software of its sister company NDS Group, and not TiVo's. The move had long been expected and did not help TiVo's sagging stock, which has dropped precipitously in the past year — down 50 percent — amid concerns about the company's future prospects.
TiVo shares closed up 3 cents, at $4.23, yesterday.
DirecTV's move, however, had nothing to do with the resignation, Ramsay said. Nor will the satellite-TV provider's plans affect TiVo's path to reach profitability by the end of the year, he said, noting how DirecTV-related sales amounts to about 10 percent of TiVo's revenues.
"There was no trigger point," for the resignation, Ramsay said in an interview. "I've been driving this for some time."
He said he initiated discussions with the board about a succession plan a year ago and intends to stay involved in TiVo's future as chairman, allowing him to focus on the company's long-term strategy.
Now that the company has reached a critical mass of subscribers and has embarked on a new approach, "it's a good time to think about new leadership bringing the company forward," he said.
Analysts agree.
"I think this is good news for TiVo because if you have a fresh set of eyes looking at the competitive landscape, it may be beneficial in terms of where TiVo is going to fit in the marketplace," said April Horace, a financial analyst at Janco Partners.
Digital-video recorders, or DVRs, allow users to easily record television shows onto hard disks, fast-forward through commercials and pause live broadcasts.
TiVo, founded in 1997 by Ramsay and Jim Barton, the company's chief technology officer, helped introduce DVRs to consumers in 1998 and has become the industry's leading brand name.
But others are fast encroaching, namely cable operators, which are introducing their own DVR features in their set-top-boxes. Digital-video recording is also being built into media-oriented computers and other consumer electronics devices such as DVD recorders and televisions.
The company has also tried to distinguish itself as a technology leader, introducing features such as TiVoToGo, a long-awaited service that lets subscribers transfer programs from their TiVo units to their computers. The company also announced plans last week for a new unit that will use a cable card, which will eliminate the need for an additional cable set-top box.
Ramsay was "a good guy for the company, not just as a founder; he had the right approach to the business … on the other hand, clearly, shareholders disagreed with me," said Dan Ernst, an analyst at Hudson Square Research in New York. "It could be very positive" for Ramsay "to step down and keep with the vision but get someone else to execute day to day."

ITV sorry for actor's swearing
ITV has apologised after actor Rupert Everett swore during a live interview on daytime panel show Loose Women.
Broadcasting watchdog Ofcom investigated after viewers complained about the section on the popular show where Rupert was talking about the effect the rise of Aids in the 1980s had on him.
Speaking to the panel, he said: "I was bitten by a mosquito ... I looked at the mosquito bite and thought 'F***, this is it' ... Oh ... sorry...".
Ofcom's report said presenter Carol Vorderman immediately apologised, and did so again at the end of the interview for Rupert's "fruity language".
ITV said it had reminded the star the show was live and that he should not swear and confirmed it had edited the language from the version of the show that appeared on its +1 channel and its on-demand services.
The report stated: "ITV offered apologies for any offence caused and said that following the interview, Rupert Everett and his managers told the production team that he was extremely apologetic, that it was not deliberate, and that he acknowledged he had been fully briefed before the show."
It said that although the broadcast breached the code, ITV's apologies and subsequent actions meant it considered the matter resolved and would not take any further action.

Jenari is a Grade 2 winner over hurdles and made a fine start over fences here in October but has failed in better company subsequently. He had Mount Benbulben 5l behind when scoring here and should take care of that rival again but Beeverstown benefited from a superb Robbie McNamara ride when poaching a long lead at Limerick and is unlikely to be given such leeway again.

text: XenForo Template You Can't Have Everything DVD ReviewAlice Faye's gradual rise to the upper echelon of box-office stars took a major leap forward in 1937 by her appearing in five movies, all of them successes and all of them trading on the softening of her image from a hard-bitten chorus girl in her early films to a more girl next door, apple-cheeked singer whose warm voice and lovable, open-hearted personality was a strong lure for the many top male stars who had begun to appear in her orbit. In You Can't Have Everything, the third of her five 1937 films, she's top-billed above the co-star with whom she was destined to make quite a few future pictures: Don Ameche in a backstage show-biz musical that gives her ample opportunities to shine. Studio: FoxDistributed By: N/AVideo Resolution and Encode: 480I/MPEG-2Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1Audio: English 2.0 DDSubtitles: NoneRating: Not RatedRun Time: 1 Hr. 39 Min.Package Includes: DVDAmray caseDisc Type: DVD-RRegion: AllRelease Date: 12/03/2013MSRP: $19.98 The Production Rating: 3.5/5 Judith Poe Wells (Alice Faye) is a struggling playwright determined to write serious dramas instead of the simpering musical comedies being churned out by George Macrae (Don Ameche). Macrae meets Judith in a restaurant where she's eaten an enormous dinner she can't pay for and is charmed by her warm personality and ample singing talent (which she refuses to use as a way into show business). He arranges to have her latest dreadful play optioned by his producer Sam Gordon (Charles Winninger) as a ruse to get her into the theater so she can replace a recalcitrant leading lady (Phyllis Brooks) whom everyone detests. Judith and George begin to fall in love as they work together, but that doesn't sit well with George's long-time girl friend Lulu (Gypsy Rose Lee acting under her real name Louise Hovick) who's determined to put a stop to this growing romance.The Harry Tugend-Jack Yellen-Karl Tunberg screenplay is typical fluff of its era (they don't seem to consider how bad Judith ends up looking walking out on the show hours before opening night just because she's heartbroken; it closes the show and puts dozens of people out of work just because she's disappointed in her love life), and they twist and turn things so that everyone ends up with a happy ending even if, as with the grasping and conniving Lulu, they don't deserve one (though she ends up with Harry Ritz; maybe she DOES deserve him). The show biz saga allows for a great deal of music, dance, and comedy, all of it wonderfully performed. Alice gets three solos: the toe-tapping title tune (how did it not score an Oscar nomination that year?), "Please Pardon Us – We're in Love," and the most entertaining "Danger – Love at Work" sung and performed with Louis Prima and his band. Don Ameche gets only a couple of late choruses of "Afraid to Dream," possibly the least of the score's songs, and Darryl F. Zanuck favorites the Ritz Brothers get "Long Underwear" (just exactly what you expect it to be with that title) and their own version of Alice's "Danger – Love at Work." Alice's real-life husband Tony Martin appears as the show's leading man singing "The Loveliness of You" in a piercingly high tenor. A couple of specialty acts also get a moment in the limelight: radio star Rubinoff does a number with his famous fiddle, and the less than spectacular finale brings out Tip, Tap, and Toe who do a slap happy tap number, the kind of the thing the Nicholas Brothers would claim mastery of a few years later at Fox.Alice Faye is chipper and winning even with the script's lapses in developing her character, and Don Ameche makes a more than acceptable leading man for her. As always, the Ritz Brothers overstay their welcome (if only their shtick were more variable; yes, they end up in drag again, this time as charwomen), and Charles Winninger has fewer opportunities to shine than in some of his other film appearances especially at MGM. It's always great to see Arthur Treacher do his butler thing, and Clara Blandick has a showy scene in which she dresses down poor Judith when she returns home after leaving New York. Gypsy Rose Lee/Louise Hovick is a problem as Lulu. Her line readings are a bit affected, and she lacks presence and noticeable chic in attempting to play an ultra chic character. One can see why she didn't have a very distinguished career as a film actress. Video Rating: 3/5 3D Rating: NA The film's original 4:3 theatrical aspect ratio is faithfully reproduced in this made-on-demand disc. Though there has been no clean up of the master used and there are dust specks, debris, damage, and reel change markers throughout, the film still does look more than acceptable. Sharpness is quite good, and the grayscale, while not possessing the deepest black levels possible, certainly isn't bad, and contrast has been consistently applied. The film has been divided into chapters every ten minutes so there are 10 chapters here. Audio Rating: 2.5/5 As with almost all of the Fox Cinema Archive releases, the volume level is way too high for enjoyment without distortion so one needs to attend to volume levels before playing the disc. The Dolby Digital 2.0 sound mix seems to be one of Fox's attempts to produce a stereo track by taking different directional audio stems produced during recording and mixing them. It isn't half bad actually with voices mostly in the center channel (with some obvious spill into the other channels) and the accompaniment filling the front channels. As the film runs, there is an increase in noise on the track with some hiss, pops, and noticeable crackle in quieter moments of the film. Sound is sometimes shrill, and there's a definite lack in the lower end of the sound spectrum, but the singing still comes across rather splendidly. Special Features Rating: 0/5 There are no bonus features on this made-on-demand disc. Overall Rating: 3/5 Alice Faye fans will be happy to add this disc of You Can't Have Everything to their collections of entertaining musicals the star made on her rise to the apex of Fox's top-tiered roster. While some of her more famous musicals of the 1930s have received much better handling on DVD than this release, at least it's now available.

On May 8, 2015, Airborne Media Group, Inc. filed a voluntary chapter 11 petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The voluntary petition was filed after several creditors commenced an involuntary chapter 11 case in Colorado on April 17, 2015. The chapter 11 case has been docketed as case no. 15-11018 and has been assigned to The Honorable Kevin Gross.
In support of the chapter 11 filing, Airborne filed the Declaration of Cordell R. Brown, CEO of the Debtor. According to the Declaration, the Debtor started in 2011 as an idea to permit patrols at a bar or restaurant to listen to the muted live sports or other events being shown in the venue through their smart phone or ipad. The Debtor created smartphone applications and other products to permit this device interactivity. As of the time of the filing, the Debtor had 9 employees, over 100 equity holders (with $6 million invested) and a $250,000 unsecured line of credit and about $1 million of unsecured debt (not counting a judgment obtained by certain of the shareholders.
The Declaration describes events leading to the filings as beginning with a dispute where certain shareholders commenced an action to value their shares. While the Debtor attempted to reach a deal with the shareholders, they were ultimately unsuccessful, and the state court in Nevada found in favor of the shareholders at a substantially higher value, and entered a nearly $2 million judgment against the Debtor. The Debtor appealled that judgment. Shortly before a scheduled mediation conference, certain petitioning creditors filed an involuntary chapter 7 case in the Delaware bankruptcy court.
According to the Declaration, the Debtor hopes to continue to operate its business as it had pre-petition, and is seeking continued investment and customers for its products. It will also seek to dismiss the pending Colorado chapter 7 case or convert it to a chapter 11 case, transfer it to Delaware, and consolidate it with the Delaware chapter 11 case.

Not everyone can ride fast, but equally not everyone can ride slowly.
Have you ever witnessed riders wobbling all over the place at slow speeds, or paddling their feet while trying to negotiate a carpark?
It actually takes a bit of talent and training to ride slowly and it's something that the police learn, not just for parades where they might be escorting royalty or pollies, but for control of their bike.
Possibly the best display of slow riding I've ever seen is by police in motorcades.
Five years ago at the Harley 105th anniversary celebrations in Milwaukee I spoke with a police officer who was competing in the annual police riding competition which was being staged in the carpark at the celebrations.
I asked him for some tips on riding slow and steady.
This is a summary of what he said.
Tip 1: Learn to be smooth with the controls. Throttle, brake and lots of clutch slip to even out the drive.
Tip 2: Ride the rear brake. This steadies the bike. Avoid using front brake which can tuck the front wheel.
Tip 3: Look up and ahead. Tightrope walkers look at the horizon to get their balance and so should you. Don't look at the ground or that's where you'll end up.
Tip 4: Keep your feet on the footpegs as this helps you balance. Don't be tempted to put your feet on the ground or this means you will have to rely on the front brake and that will make the steering jerky and erratic.
Tip 5: Keep your body upright and let the bike tip to turn. At slow speeds you don't countersteer; you steer in the direction you want to go.
Tip 6: Breathe deep. Don't get nervous. Relax and be one with the bike.
Find a nice quiet carpark, cul de sac or industrial estate where you can practise slow riding techniques and tight feet-up turns. It's fun and it will improve your bike skills.
You can't have control of a bike at speed if you don't know how to be smooth and in-control of a slow bike.
Click here to see the police in action at the Harley 105th anniversary.
How to ride slowly
Not everyone can ride fast, but equally not everyone can ride slowly.

All is Well
I left the house with Merlin and Minette in the car .. we took a drive.
A couple of us seem to find car rides are good for making you take a nap.
The motel was too expensive and I didn't like the mans attitude so I didn't make a reservation but went home to mull things over ... I called the owner of the business and told her how I felt about the whole thing.
Are you ready ?
She came here .. agreed that the worker was a bit sloppy with his use of pesticides splashed all over the place ... she then proceeded to ....
1- mop the kitchen floor
2- mop the sun room floor
3-vacuumed the rugs in the bedroom and living room.
And apologized.
I told her in a couple of weeks I am going to call her and complain about something again.
And leave out the ironing board.
All is well. She totally understood my concerns and has pets and a small child so we were both totally in sync with our feelings about poisons etc.
I was / am so lucky. I have had such good luck in my life. a few horrible bad things have happened but the good sort of outweigh the bad.
I have been very stressed and worried and weepy and missing my husband so very much but I still totally appreciate all the kind people I meet all the time.
The cats were happy to go on a ride in the car but they seemed super happy to see their dishes, bed and get back in the window and keep an eye on things.
All is well.

I'm sorry your home got fleas. Sometimes they get the way in! I would prefer dracula, too....I know the pain of itching from bug bites.
Sounds like the owner of the business is very nice. Glad all is well now! I'm impressed your kitties were happy riding the car. My boys don't like it at all.
Have a happy weekend!!

Every basketball player wants to dunk. The problem is most can't. Ben Dickinson, Jack Hamilton, Thomas Matthews, Logan Samuels, Malcolm Smith, Cahli Thomas, and Danny Williams couldn't.
But after following a 10-week training program with personal trainer Alan Stein, many of them can.
Now you can learn how, too.
All seven players were selected to participate in a 10-week training program with StrongerTeam.com trainers Stein and Blair O'Donovan. The goal was to be able to dunk at the end by training in a series of workouts to build the muscle, flexibility and explosiveness needed to dunk.
In this series with ESPN RISE, Stein will teach you the drills in the program, explain how to do the workouts properly, and will train you to increase your vertical.
Here is a rundown of the seven players who took part in the training:

Who Loves You
If you want to see another day, getting through the night is a requirement. The weight of the day can often be too much for one person to bear. Getting help can all come down to who loves you. Giving help can all come down to whom you love. There is an awesome song about all of this. I love the album version of Who Loves You (1975) by The Four Seasons. Listen to what it has to offer.
