At the close of 2013, Opportunity International's four education finance products — school improvement loans, school fee loans, tertiary loans, and EduSave school fee insurance — had helped school proprietors add classrooms, ensured that children could stay in school, and funded higher education. Thousands upon thousands of children are starting on the right foot because of investments in their education. The exact number of children who benefited from these investments in 2013? A stunning 572,350.
Opportunity has increased its loans in all areas of education, from school improvement to school fees. School improvement loans allow proprietors to install proper toilet facilities, purchase textbooks and desks, and provide their students with a safe educational environment. School fee loans mean that children can continue their educations, even if their parents cannot afford tuition. Tertiary loans help students pursue their dreams of university or vocational school. In Uganda alone, Opportunity plans to support an additional 3000 students with school fee loans by 2016. Eleven schools in Rwanda had received school improvement loans by the end of 2013, just one year after the launch of the program.
But education is about so much more than just loans. That's why Opportunity provides training to school proprietors, to promote quality improvement and ensure they can effectively manage their schools. Training ranges from School Financial Management to Teacher Management to various pedagogical methods. 540 proprietors and teachers in Ghana – 80% of the school owners -- have participated in this training. Youth financial training has been implemented as well, with workshops on financial literacy and saving expected to affect 6000 at-risk Ugandan girls by early 2016.
Even after all the successes of 2013, we're still not satisfied. We believe in sustainable development, and are in the middle of studying strategies for expanding our educational footprint in Tanzania, Colombia, India, and beyond. With the power of education, we can transform the lives of young people worldwide and break the cycle of poverty once and for all.
Rich in natural resources, southern Tanzania is the country's most fertile region and is ripe for agricultural development. Opportunity Tanzania is making financial services accessible to its clients so they can take advantage of the high-potential land at their fingertips.
Although its low population density makes brick-and-mortar banking cost-prohibitive, the high incidence of cell phone usage among the rural population indicates that mobile banking would be a very viable solution. 190 loans have already been disbursed in southern Tanzania, through six cost-effective delivery channels that take the place of physical buildings.
Financial training is growing as well, with a 9% growth in outreach from 2012. Over 9000 clients are benefiting from resources such as new financial literacy training modules that are developed in the local language, Swahili, and distributed to Trust Groups. Opportunity Tanzania officers are also testing a pilot Individual loan product for clients who graduate from Trust Group loans. Opportunity's outreach to smallholder Tanzanian farmers was just launched in 2014 and has already accomplished so much — and it's only getting started.
In 2013, Opportunity International reached 1.2 million savings clients in Africa — a nearly threefold increase from 2009. Client deposits total $68 million. Over $120 million is circulating the continent in Opportunity loans, helping our clients work toward cleaner water, better education, safer homes, and a brighter future.
Agricultural finance grew tremendously in 2013, with 26% more loans disbursed to farmers than in 2012. The total amount loaned was $20.4 million, or more than double the amount loaned the year before. Opportunity increased its outreach to smallholder farmers in five countries — Ghana, Malawi, Uganda, Mozambique, and Rwanda — with plans to launch outreach in Tanzania in 2014. Technology will play a key role in agriculture as well, with Opportunity piloting loans to finance tractors and GPS technology.
Education was another major focus of 2013, with Opportunity Uganda disbursing over 100 School Improvement loans and 4500 School Fee loans. Opportunity Uganda also launched EduSave in 2013, a free education insurance that ensures school fee funding in case of a parent's death or disablement, and now covers nearly 13,000 families. Opportunity Malawi also launched EduSave in 2013, protecting the education of over 127,000 children.
Finally, Opportunity increased access to financial services in Africa, through the expansion of mobile banking in Tanzania, Uganda, and Malawi. Opportunity's branch in the Democratic Republic of Congo received its official deposit-taking license in November of 2013, meaning that poor families now have a safe place to save their hard-earned money.

Athens Shore Excursion: Athens Hop-on Hop-off Tour
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Athens Shore Excursion: Athens Hop-on Hop-off Tour. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Absolutely as described on the tin! Very helpful staff at Piraeus and in Athens itself. They even laid on extra busses to ensure all cruise passangers returned to the port on time. Well done.
Frustrating at first as we did not know that the Bus was a big red bus. We were looking for the Viator Tour bus and no one seemed to know that it was called a Hop on Hop Off bus. We called the Viator number and it all got straightened out. Viator needs to inform people about the BIG RED BUS.
I love the hop on hop off tours. We got to see the layout of the whole city and we learned a lot. When we needed rest from walking we would just get on the bus!
bartlomiej w
Great value,
Very good, are cruise ship was a day to late because of the problems in athens but we were able to change our ticket without any problems, thank ou viator we had a wonderful sight seeing trip petrus
It was a GREAT Trip to Athens. Thank you Viator for making OUR Trip to Athens so very ENJOYABLE and WONDERFUL. My Wife and I had a GREAT TIME in Athens.
"The SHROFFs"
The Hop-on Hop-off worked great for us. We got on at the port, stayed on for several stops, got off at the Acropolis, then back on, off a few stops later and walked around Athens and shopped, then got back on and took back to our port. I would definitely do it again
Excellent tour. Guide was very prepared and the small group size made this a far superior experience to ship-provided large bus trips
Michael M
United Kingdom
Well organised and friendly staff. Good informative commentary. Would use again, just a shame we only had 6 hrs in port and couldn't make full use of the service, would highly recommend. managed to see more of Athens than the official cruise our for 1/3 of price.
Clean, reliable, efficient transportation that included all of the major sites in Athens. Picked us up right at our cruise ship. Price was great.
We did Rome and Athens this way and loved it! Very easy to follow, find bus and follow map. Time to explore at your own pace with plenty of time to get back to ship, even with one hour train ride in Rome to the port. Istanbul tour with Omar was outstanding for half price of cruise ship. Would definitely use Viator again.
This service was waiting at the port gates when we arrived on a cruise ship into Pireaus. The young man who took our voucher and issued the ticket was extremely polite, spoke excellent English and explained the routes available to take. We took the blue route to the Acropolis and took the red route around the city before reconnecting with the blue route back to the port. The bus ran on time and as usual with these tours the commentary was excellent. A great way to quickly acquaint yourself with Athens and ideal if you intend revisiting the points of interest
We enjoyed our trip to Athens despite the weather, thank goodness you had a bus with a canopy covered top !! Your staff were most helpful and we saw as much as we could in the time we had. Will definitely use your service again.
An excellent service with personnel on hand at almost every stop. Most reassuring. Smooth boarding and seating. The audio guide was excellent. Our only query would be .. why does the bus stop for a 15 minute break at Syntagma Square when it would surely make more sense to have this break at the 'changeover' point of The Parthenon. That way, those needing to change buses to get back to the Port could do so as soon as possible. Would definitely use this service again and would highly recommend it.

This is an interesting question. If you could write a check today to achieve any one of your goals, would you do it? Of course you would. The problem is, too often we don't. Something gets between our wallets and our hearts. Today, let's talk about that "something."
A few months ago, my parents were up for a visit. One morning, I was having a cup of coffee with my Dad and I mentioned an opportunity to attend an upcoming coaching course. It's a rigorous training program to become a certified Gallup Strengths Coach. It costs $7500.
I love Gallup's products, especially the StrengthsFinder assessment. The assessment has shaped my life in so many ways. I like it so much that I have all my clients take it before our coaching sessions.
Gallup has some other unique products too. I read their book First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently, before taking my current position. From that book I learned about the Q12 assessment: 12 questions Gallup asked 25 million employees worldwide to measure employee engagement. They determined only 13% of the workplace is engaged and offered a strategy to increase engagement.
Gallup looks through mountains of data to determine essential factors that get results. Their ideas are revolutionary and sometimes unconventional. They challenge the status-quo. That's probably what I like most about them.
When I mentioned the coaching course to my Dad, I shrugged it off and said something like "it's too expensive." I told him I could learn just as much from their books and that I wanted to save my money to buy a shed this year.
I'll never forget his response.
"FORGET THE SHED!" he yelled across the table.
If I remember correctly, I think he also slammed his fist down on the table when he said it.
Later that night, my wife and I went out to one of our favorite restaurants. While enjoying a cocktail, I told her about the coaching course. I had no idea what her reaction would be. I figured she would think it was too expensive, just like I had.
She actually thought it was a great idea and told me to go for it.
Through this experience, I've learned that "I" am my best investment. And "you" are your best investment. Not your car, shed, investment portfolio, or even your house. First, fund yourself. Then, fund your lifestyle.
You may have a similar dilemma. Maybe there is a conference you want to attend or a class you want to take. But it's "too expensive." Today, I encourage you to go for it. Make the investment. You won't be disappointed.
"FORGET THE SHED!" as my Dad would say.
Maybe you're afraid it won't work out. What's the worst that can happen? If you can live with that, go for it. Your return will be exponential.
This is the key to having an "abundance" mindset. And this is the mindset you must have to live your life to the fullest.
If you're not willing to trade a material comfort for something you "really" want, then how badly do you really want it?
I booked my trip last weekend. It cost a lot but my goal is worth it. I'm worth it.
And you are too.

Steel in the News
Back to all posts
Posted by Tasha Weiss on February 11, 2014 at 6:03 PM.
The new Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge made its public debut on Saturday, with various celebratory events and a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and opened to traffic on Sunday.
The 1,500-ft cable-stayed bridge connects Illinois with Missouri over the Mississippi River near downtown St. Louis and is the third longest bridge of its kind in the U.S. The photo at left shows the towers on the Missouri and Illinois sides of the new bridge lit up at night. (Click on the thumbnail image to enlarge.) Photo: Tim Parker Photography, courtesy of HNTB
The $230-million bridge was built to alleviate traffic on the nearby Poplar Street Bridge, which carries Interstates 55, 64 and 70 as well as U.S. 40, and runs between downtown St. Louis and East St. Louis, Ill. I-70 traffic has been rerouted to the new bridge, which accommodates two lanes in each direction, with the ability to expand to three lanes. Construction on the project started in February 2010.
HNTB Corporation, the bridge's structural engineer, created a design that employed steel anchor boxes inside of the pylons for the stay cable anchorages instead of using formed concrete corbels. The use of steel anchor boxes eliminated the need for complex forming of concrete inside the bridge's delta-shaped pylon legs. Ultimately, the use of steel saved time, reduced cost, increased accuracy in the tight tolerances of the cable geometry and reduced the amount of post-tensioning needed around the perimeter of the pylon legs.
The project uses 8,000 tons of structural steel in all, which was fabricated by W&W/AFCO Steel (an AISC/NSBA member and AISC Certified fabricator). Tensor Engineering (an AISC/NSBA member) was the project's steel detailer.
"The Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge is a significant and iconic addition to this nation's infrastructure and to the skyline of St. Louis, and W&W/AFCO Steel takes great pride in witnessing its grand opening," said Deane Wallace, senior vice president at AFCO Steel. "We appreciate the cooperation of the HNTB design team in helping translate their vision to workable solutions; Massman, Traylor, Alberici, a Joint Venture, planned and labored five years to build this massive structure, and we congratulate them on the success of their great efforts; AFCO Steel spent two years fabricating 8,000 tons of steel to form the strong and elegant backbone of the bridge; MoDOT and ILDOT bring this iconic bridge to the public and we expect them to take great pride in their new Steel Centurion for the next 100 years. The 'Stan Span' is truly a 'Grand Slam!'"
The new bridge got its name from a compromise between politicians on both sides of the Mississippi River, who had different ideas for the name of the bridge. The Missouri side wanted to name the bridge after the St. Louis Cardinals' legendary outfielder and first baseman Stan Musial, who died last year, and the Illinois side wished to honor military veterans. In the end both sides won, and this past summer the bridge was officially named the Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge (SMVMB). Photo at left: Tim Parker Photography, courtesy of HNTB
You can read more about the Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge project from the November 2013 issue of MSC.
Government officials from both Illinois and Missouri came together to celebrate the completion of the new bridge during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday. Pictured left to right: (bottom row) Charlie Dooley, St. Louis County Executive; Alvin Parks, East St. Louis Mayor; Francis Slay, St. Louis Mayor; Stan Musial Family members; (top row) Dan McLaughlin, St. Louis Cardinals Broadcaster; Jerry Costello, Former Ill. Congressman; William Enyart, Ill. Congressman; Dick Durbin, Ill. U.S. Senator; Pat Quinn, Ill. Governor; Anthony Foxx, U.S. Secretary of Transportation; Jay Nixon, Mo. Governor; Lloyd Carmichael, MoDOT Commissioner; Claire Mckauskill, Mo. U.S. Senator; Wm. Lacy Clay, Mo. Congressman; Ann Wagner, Mo. Congresswoman. Photo: Tim Parker Photography, courtesy of HNTB

Welcome to the Taxpayer's Tab -- the weekly newsletter for up-to-the-minute research from the National Taxpayers Union Foundation's BillTally Project.
Since 1991, NTUF has computed the legislative spending agendas of Members of Congress by analyzing the costs -- and savings -- of the bills that they sponsor and cosponsor. Our goal is to provide you with objective information about what Congress wants to do with your tax dollars in an open and transparent manner.
Each week, NTUF will bring you updates on the week's most and least expensive bills, the ones with the most cosponsors ("the most friended"), and a few bills we've termed Wildcards -- bills that we think you might find interesting.
For more information on the National Taxpayers Union Foundation or the BillTally Project, check out our website and methodology.
The Bill: H.R. 3577, Education Assistance to Realign New Eligibilities for Dependents (EARNED) Act of 2009
Annualized Cost: $477 million ($2.383 billion over five years)
Congressman Ciro Rodriguez (TX-23) sponsored the EARNED Act, which would allow members of the Armed Forces who have served for 20 years or more on active duty and received an honorable discharge between 2001 and 2009 to transfer their educational benefits to their dependents. This would expand upon the transfer options currently available to service members who have served for at least six years and agree to serve four or more additional years to transfer their benefits as allowed by the Post-9/11 GI Bill (H.R. 2642 of the 110th Congress). The bill was .
The Department of Veterans Affairs calculated that the benefits transfers would increase spending by $2.4 billion in the first five years and $4.2 billion over ten years.
The Bill: H.R. 3505, American Energy Production and Price Reduction Act
Annualized Savings: -$557 million (-$2.787 billion over five years)
Congressman Gary Miller (CA-42) introduced H.R. 3505 to augment traditional energy sources with increased exploration, to research energy alternatives, and to guarantee Congress will not raise energy taxes in the future.
The American Energy Production and Price Reduction Act would expand the Outer Continental Shelf Leasing Program to the entire U.S. coastline, while sharing the revenues with states. The federal share of offshore revenues would be used to pay down the national debt. The Act also opens the Alaska National Wildlife Reserve (ANWR) to leasing and drilling.
Alternative energy provisions in H.R. 3505 include: a nuclear certification credit for facility expenditures, funding for natural gas vehicle demonstration projects, and a coal-to-liquid project loan program. Numerous tax credits and deductions are included to cover other forms of alternative energy sources as well.
Significant cost savings would occur in the third and fifth fiscal years of enactment because ANWR drilling would result in offsetting receipts of $2.5 billion for the federal government. While the total receipts would be larger than that amount, Alaska would receive half of the proceeds.
The Bill: H.R. 463/S. 21, Prevention First Act
Number of Cosponsors: 145 Congressmen and 29 Senators
The Prevention First Act is intended to decrease the number of unintended pregnancies and reduce the number of abortions. The bill, sponsored by Congresswoman Louise Slaughter (NY-28) and Senator Harry Reid (NV), would appropriate additional funds for family planning services. The bill would fully fund the National Family Planning Program, expand such services within the Medicaid program, and develop an Emergency Contraception Public Education Program. H.R. 463 would also award grants to establish or expand teenage pregnancy prevention programs and provide contraceptives to survivors of sexual assault without charge.
H.R. 463 authorizes $417 million in new spending in the first year. $283 million is already being spent by the federal government to decrease unwanted pregnancies and educate the public.
Cosponsors include 143 Democrats and two Republicans in the House. Twenty-eight Democrat and one Republican Senators sponsored S. 21 in the Senate.

The Bill: S. 3078/H.R. 4757, Health Insurance Rate Authority Act of 2010
Annualized Cost: $255 million (first year cost)
Senator Dianne Feinstein (CA) and Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (IL-9) sponsored the Health Insurance Rate Authority Act to help "ensure that people in all states have access to a meaningful [health insurance] rate review process to protect them from unfair increases." The bill would give the Secretary of Health and Human Services the authority to block increases in health insurance premiums. While 25 states have their own Insurance Commissioners to review and approve or block proposed rate increases, S. 3078 would add a federal level of decision-making to "provide unprecedented authority to block unreasonable premium increases before they are allowed to take effect."
The bill also establishes a Medical Insurance Rate Authority -- a seven member advisory group -- charged with prioritizing potentially unreasonable rate increases for review by the Secretary, producing an annual report detailing insurance market behavior, and assigning regulators to each state to review rate increases.
Debate over the bill pits health care reform advocates against state regulators. Consumers Union calls for Congress to pass the Health Insurance Rate Authority Act because "[t]oo often, consumers are left at the mercy of health insurance companies, as many states allow companies to increase rates with little or no oversight." However, in a recent Politico article, Robert Zirkelbach of America's Health Insurance Plans says "states have the infrastructure, experience[,] and expertise to review premiums."

New Pepsi Prank shows OOH at its best!
We're suckers for a bit of clever public transport advertising over here at Cream Global but Pepsi Max has just taken it to a whole new level with its latest out-of-home prank.
Picture this. You're standing at the bus stop waiting patiently for your bus to arrive when all of sudden, through the other side of the bus shelter you see an alien ship come down from space, a killer robot on a rampage, comets flying everywhere, monsters appearing from the ground or a tiger on the loose running towards you? What would you do?

Youngsters win chance to visit police station
5:10pm Thursday 21st February 2013 in News By Rebecca Perring, Reporter
POLICE said ello' ello' ello' to three children who were given the chance of going behind the scenes at Watford police station.
The children coloured their way to the police station doors, as they were named winners of a poster competition when they designed a crimebuster poster to highlight key crime risks.
Poppy O'Sullivan from Nascot Wood Junior School in Watford, Hannah Sugars from Hartsbourne Primary School in Bushey and Amy Salisbury from Maple Cross Primary School were given the chance to explore the police station on Wednesday, February 20.
During the day the children saw police officers at work, were given the opportunity to sit inside a police van and hold police riot equipment, as well as set off the sirens in a police car.
The eight-year-olds were also shown around the magistrates court, taking on the role of the magistrate and criminal, when they sat in the magistrates chair and stood in the dock.
Education support PCSO Sue Lowther said: "The poster competition aimed to highlight to children and their families about how to prevent a burglary at their home.
"The children really enjoyed their half-term visit to the station. There were lots of exciting things for them to experience."

Does anyone make a small high temperature and high pressure pump?
by Jack_O
Tags: pressure, pump, temperature
|Share this thread:
Feb8-12, 07:53 AM
Hello, I have recently started work as a researcher at a university investigating heat transfer fluids (HTF). One of the tasks is to build a pumping test rig to simulate plant conditions. One of the fluids being tested is a eutectic mix of biphenyl and diphenyl oxide which is similar in density and viscosity to water but boils at 257C.
Testing will be up to 460C at 35 bar so ideally I want to find a pump that can run up to 500C at 40 bar. The test loop would be fairly small with around 1-2l of HTF in the loop, pressurised before running the pump so it only needs to push the htf around the loop, a pumping rate of 2-5l per minute would be fine. I have contacted several companies so far without luck.
The rig will be made of parts from swagelok, either 1/4" or 1/2" stainless steel piping. If I cannot find a pump I may end up using some kind of piston arrangement to pump the HTF back and forth without a loop.

Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
Hope you had a great time at Illuxcon. You guys in America get all the best events, it's not fair.
Seeing your paintings framed up like that really makes them shine. Traditional work, no matter how well photographed or scanned, just doesn't seem to look as good on a screen as it does in real life. Would love to see some of your stuff for real. Get up close and personal and see all your brush marks and decisions.
P.S. How do you go about choosing frames? Do you have set types or do you run on instinct for each separate painting?
Some new plein air pieces
and some gallery work
Damn, those gallery paintings are stunning. Love the colours and light in them. you guys get some lovely weather in your part of the world.
Also, thanks for answering my questions and sorry I took so long to respond. I actually forgot I'd asked them, oops. Interesting to hear about the frames you use. I worked in a picture framing shop for a while and was always completely overwhelmed by the range on offer. Choosing a few good types and cycling through them sounds like a good way to go.
And I've another question, lol.
When you first started out on the gallery circuit, did you take plein air pieces or finished gallery ready paintings in your portfolio?
I took both because back then galleries wanted to see work from life as well as large studio work. Its changed quite a bit since then (its been fifteen years now) but even now most galleries want to see work painted from life to a finished state especially for landscapes.
Oh wow! The last one in post 215 reminds me of the beach next to our family cottage.
Going away with the family ain't all that fun anymore now when I am '' older '' so I just stay home ( privacy ftw ) hehe, but I do kinda miss it a tad.
Beautiful work!
"A man chooses. A slave obeys."
I have one last question for you then I promise I'll leave you alone.
How do you get such good photos of your work? Is it about a good camera/lighting set up or do you find you still have to tweak things on the computer after?
I don't think they're that good as far as color matching the originals, but they work. I go for the overall relationships and shoot outside in shade. I do tweak them in PS but I make sure they don't look better than the original painting when I correct them. I use a mid price range camera and have done so for all of my career. What they call the pro-sumer models in the $800 to $1200 range. I upgrade every couple of years when they double the res or functionality.
Interesting. I have been noticing more lately about how different different colours/paint thicknesses/values etc affect how my work turns out in reproductions. Been finding scans seem to work better than my camera - though thats probably because I'm using one thats not very good and cant get outside at all in winter here. Light levels are through the floor this far north and if it's not raining or snowing, it's just about to.
All that said, I cant keep limiting myself to 12x16 canvases, so a better camera and more attention to values/colours etc is probably the way to go. Been itching to get back to bigger scale paintings for a while now so this might be the kick I need.
Thanks again for answering. Really useful info and much appreciated. It does all go in, though it may not seem like it, heh.
If you have to shoot indoors I recommend full spectrum fluorescent bulbs. Get the ones that are at lest 90% of the sunlight spectrum and at least 4 feet in length, should cost less than a hundred dollars for a set of four and the housing they go into.
I love the seascapes! I think they're some of your best work. Especially that last one with the dunes and the grass.
Also, congratulations on the hotel deal!
I have a question about frames. I'm going to be talking to some local galleries soon, but I'm not sure how to go about framing my paintings. I've been making my own floater frames for art fairs but I'm not really a good enough woodworker to make gallery-quality frames. I also don't think my acrylics are really gold-leaf closed-corner frame quality paintings, but then again I don't just want to go to some random frame shop and have my work encased in crap. How does one go about finding a good middle ground? I've looked around online but haven't found any solid information.

"There are two kinds of students: the self-taught and the hopeless."
- Dr. Piotr Rudnicki
I use the 10 percent rule. My frames do not cost more than ten percent of the retail price of the painting. Galleries are going to take 50% on average. So 60% of your cost is right there. What I did when I got into my first gallery is I doubled my prices to cover the cost of the gallery commission and framing.
I don't know about Canada, but here the US if you have a resale license you can buy things wholesale. That is how I buy my frames. It helps to buy in larger quantities of five or more than just one frame at a time.I can get most of my metal leaf closed corner frames for 30 or 40 dollars for small ones and under 200 for large ones plus the shipping cost which is another reason to buy in quantity.
I just looked at my framers site, they have a distributor in Toronto so depending on the rules for wholesale in Canada you can buy frames from them. omegamoulding.com

Man this is amazing this sure deserves its spot in the top row of epicness. The colour are so bright and the landscapes are just breathtaking. Just sitting behind my desk staring at those beautiful blue waves you painted, well done and good work all I can say.

Thanks for sharing and good luck at the show.
You're welcome!
I'm a huge fan of your work, and hope some day to be able to capture light even a fraction as well as you. So I keep popping up like the proverbial bad penny, drooling over and analysing your paintings. Seems kind of rude to visit and not comment.

Hey dpaint,
Thanks for posting, it's refreshing to see someone working in a traditional medium, and so effectively! I'm not sure if you agree but I feel like the paintings have matured a bit as the years have gone on. For sure the nuance of your brush is still there, but they feel much more vibrant with their contrasting colors now. Do you think there has been a noticeable change in your work over just these few years? Thanks again.

Uladzimir Labkovich: Martin Uggla denied entry to Belarus for protests against Hockey World Championship
18:17, — Politics
The Belarusian regime is going to welcome only "proper" human rights activists, politicians and journalists.
Such an opinion has been expressed by Uladzimir Labkovich, a member of Viasna human rights centre, as he commented to charter97.org on the detention of a well-known Swedish human rights activist Martin Uggla in Minsk airport.
"The ban for entry to Belarus for Martin is connected to his active position as a citizen, as he is a prominent human rights activist, and his organisation, Östgruppen, deals with problems of Belarus. In cooperation with his teammates he staged a number of rallies in Sweden, and attracted attention to the fact that the Ice Hockey Wolrd Championship is held in the country where political prisoners exist, and amid gross violations of human rights. It is even more relevant now in view of illegal preventive arrests carried out by the Belarusian regime ahead of the championship," he noted.
According to the legal expert, "such incidents mean that the so-called openness of Belarus for the period of the World Championship in no way covers human rights activists, public leaders and politicians, and is absolutely artificial."
"On the contrary, we state that ahead of the World Championship the human rights situation in our country has deteriorated considerably. And the vivid example of that is arbitrary detentions, which have mass and total nature all over the country. Undoubtedly, the people who could not get visas for entering Belarus before, will have obstacles for the period of the championship as well, like Martin Uggla," Uladzimir Labkovich stressed.
We remind that the head of Sweden-based human rights organisation Östgruppen Martin Uggla, who planned to visit Belarus, was detained in the transit area at Minsk National Airport. The human rights activist was proposed to live in the airport for a week expecting deportation.

Very nice.
Very epic, perfectly depicts the feeling of beginning something new, something epic.
Two things though: There is a tiny gap between the loop, but I think that happens because when you render something as an .mp3 it adds a very small silence at the beginning and end of the file.
Also, the wood stick/clackers or whatever kind of annoy me as time goes on but it's bearable.
Also, I completely understand the whole "I HATE NG! The Audio Portal is SHIT and they NEED to find these 0 bombers and MURDER THEM" but... honestly, I think you just have to stick with it. Eventually you get a hit and people start paying more attention to your works. At least, that's how it happened for me.
I got my Lance Battle thing on the "Top Tracks of All Time" and started gaining a small amount of attention. Not a lot, but enough to show me that the NG community is like 90% cool people, and you can't let those assholes that make up the other 10% push you down.
Plus, someone with your musical talent can't be brought down by this kind of crap. Come on, are you kidding me? With the happy little positive melodies you make? Seriously, you can't be THAT bummed about it.

Two Federal Agencies Battle In Federal Court Over Whistleblower Treatment
Talk about your inter-family disputes: one federal agency – the Department of Labor – has filed suit against the United States Postal Service, an independent federal agency (but one of the few explicitly authorized by the Constitution). The reason for the federal lawsuit, filed in Missouri: the Postal Service's alleged poor treatment, firing, and alleged harassment of an employee who claims he blew the whistle on safety hazards in a mail facility.
Here's the background, delivered despite any contrary weather: Thomas Purviance worked for the Postal Service for 35 years, most recently as a maintenance supervisor at a mail distribution center near St. Louis. He had no record of disciplinary or performance issues. In late December 2009, Purviance complained to his supervisors about what he perceived to be carbon monoxide and fuel oil leaks from some of the equipment at the center, as well as a pile of oil-soaked rags which he thought was a safety hazard. Getting no response, Purviance eventually called the local fire marshal and made a 911 call to report the carbon monoxide leak. Read More ›
SEC's First Anti-Retaliation Action Under Dodd-Frank Act Carries Warning for Employers
The Securities & Exchange Commission gained significant new enforcement powers in the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010. Under the Act, the SEC can award bounties to whistleblowers who provide information leading to successful enforcement actions. It has already exercised this power, making eight whistleblower awards since starting its whistleblower program in late 2011. The Dodd-Frank Act also allows the SEC to sue an employer who retaliates against a whistleblower, but the SEC hasn't previously taken that step.
Ten days ago, that changed. The SEC announced that it had charged Paradigm Capital Management and owner Candace King Weir with engaging in prohibited trades and retaliating against a head trader who reported the trades to the SEC, and that Paradigm and Weir had settled the charges for $2.2 million. Without its new enforcement authority under Dodd-Frank, the SEC wouldn't have been able to bring the retaliation charge.
According to the SEC's press release, Paradigm "removed [the whistleblower] from his head trader position, tasked him with investigating the very conduct he reported to the SEC, changed his job function from head trader to a full-time compliance assistant, stripped him of his supervisory responsibilities, and otherwise marginalized him."
The formal order issued by the SEC further describes what happened to the whistleblower. The day after the trader told Paradigm that he had reported these particular trades to the SEC, Paradigm removed him from his position. The trader and Paradigm tried to negotiate a severance package, but when that fell through, Paradigm brought him back to investigate trades and work on compliance policies – but not to resume his head trading responsibilities.

Second Circuit To Weigh Whether Whistleblower Protections Extend Internationally
While we're talking about whistleblowers, it's worth noting that two days ago, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit heard oral argument on appeal from the a federal district court's opinion in Meng-Lin Liu v. Siemens AG, 978 F.Supp.2d 325 (S.D.N.Y. 2013). This case raises the significant question as to whether the anti-retaliation provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, 15 U.S.C. § 78u-6(h)(1)(a), apply to an employee who is terminated by a non-U.S. corporation that does business in (and is regulated by) the United States.

Mandatory Arbitration Clauses Do Not Necessarily Protect Employers From Whistleblower Suits
One recurring topic here at Suits by Suits is the default corporate practice of including mandatory arbitration clauses in employment contracts; we've written frequently about that practice. Such clauses typically specify that "the parties agree to submit any dispute arising out of this Agreement to binding arbitration." Read More ›
Does Dodd-Frank Protect Whistleblowers Who Don't Report to SEC? Another Court Chooses Sides in the Debate
In 2010, Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act, strengthening legal protections for employees who report violations of the securities laws. However, as we've covered here, here, and here, the courts have diverged widely as to whether an employee must report directly to the SEC in order to be shielded from retaliation.
In Asadi v. GE Energy (USA), LLC, which we addressed in this post, the Fifth Circuit decided that to meet Dodd-Frank's definition of a "whistleblower" – and to be protected by its anti-retaliation provision – an employee must in fact provide information to the SEC. However, most of the district courts that have addressed the issue have decided that an employee need not report to the SEC in order to be protected from adverse actions by his or her employer.

When Employment Relationships Break Bad
On this blog, we frequently cover employment relationships that go wrong. Sometimes, really wrong. But only rarely do we cover events that could land someone in the slammer.
The recent case of Stephen Marty Ward is one of those rare events. Ward's case shows that employment relationships gone sour can result in more than hurt feelings and lawsuits – they can result in jail time.
As reported by Law360, Ward worked for Corsair Engineering, Inc. During a three-month project for Insitu, a Boeing subsidiary, he gathered information about a "small tactical unmanned aircraft system" – i.e., a drone – that the Navy was working on. In particular, Ward had access to a "maintenance manual for an integrator system" that had flown over 500,000 combat flight hours. Here's a link to some nifty pics of the "integrator system" from the Insitu website, if you're curious.
When Ward was fired in October 2011, he called a Corsair employee and said that he had a lot of information and wanted a "healthy settlement" to go away quietly. In a ruse worthy of Hank Schrader and Jesse Pinkman, Corsair executives negotiated a $400,000 settlement with Ward. Ward came to pick up his down payment of $10,000, and found himself in handcuffs.

Political Intrigue, Sex, And Money
We see – and report on – plenty of whistleblower complaints here at Suits-by-Suits. We're mostly interested in how those complaints play out legally, and what they can teach us about ways to avoid, or manage, whistleblower disputes and what leads to them. But outside of the law, some complaints include alleged facts that just tell a compelling story in and of themselves.
How about these allegations in Glenn Meeks' wrongful termination complaint against Chicago State University: Financial mismanagement, a romantic relationship between top university executives, high-level posts filled with unqualified personnel, intrigue on the university's board of trustees after Meeks complained of these things, and – a bonus, from a storytelling perspective – a suspicion of improper interference by the Governor of Illinois in the whole thing.
And another bonus: Meeks filed his complaint in Illinois state court just two weeks after another whistleblower at the same university was awarded $2.5 million. Read More ›
The Inbox - Blarney Edition
Top 'o the mornin' to ya! In honor of St. Patrick's Day, we considered writing today's inbox entirely in Irish-speak. We could have told you to sit down and wet the tea, or sip on a pint of Gat, while we spun tales of how an executive's suit put the heart crossways in his employer. But because we didn't want anyone feeling the fear tomorrow, we decided to stick with our tried-and-true approach of (somewhat) plain American English.
- Bonuses on Wall Street are flowing like Guinness, says The Age. New York's state comptroller says that firms paid their highest bonuses since 2007, with an average of $164,530. However, for those looking to get a piece of that pot of gold, the news wasn't all good: jobs in finance declined.
- Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post's Fact Checker put together this interesting piece on Edward Snowden's claim that federal law did not protect him from whistleblower retaliation. Kessler concluded by awarding Snowden only one Pinocchio for "some shading of the facts." Snowden has many Pinocchios to go if he wants to reach the levels achieved by many illustrious citizens of Washington, D.C.
- Andrew Burrell of The Australian reports that BHP Billiton's decision to pay large bonuses has boomeranged on the executives of the resources giant, with shareholders voicing their disapproval (subscription required). Yes, we included this news solely to use the pun. No, we do not have a subscription to The Australian.
- TheTownTalk.com brings us news of a Louisiana College VP's lawsuit against his employer in state court. The vice president, Tim Johnson, claims that the Baptist school and its president retaliated against him for blowing the whistle on the president's diversion of funds. An outside law firm has already advised the college that the president "misrepresented material information to the Board of Trustees on countless occasions," but a committee appointed by the board rejected that conclusion.
- A New York trial judge questioned a hedge fund's efforts to have a former analyst jailed for stealing trade secrets, reported Stewart Bishop of Law360 (subscription required, and yes, we do have one). Justice Jeffrey Oing told lawyers for Two Sigma Investments LLC that it might be "going over the top" by pursuing jail time for Kang Gao, who is accused of illegally accessing and copying Two Sigma's confidential information.
A Look at the Concurring and Dissenting Opinions in the Supreme Court's Sarbanes-Oxley Whistleblower Decision
In yesterday's post, we covered the background of Tuesday's Supreme Court decision in Lawson v. FMR, LLC, and took an in-depth look at Justice Ginsburg's majority opinion. Today, we look at what the other Justices had to say.
Justice Scalia, joined by Justice Thomas, signed on to Justice Ginsburg's opinion in principal part, but also authored his own opinion. Justice Scalia and Justice Thomas subscribe to the position that a judge, in reading and interpreting a statute, should not examine what Congress said in places other than the statutory language, such as in committee reports and floor speeches. Based on that judicial philosophy, Justice Scalia criticized Justice Ginsburg for her "occasional excursions beyond the interpretative terra firma of text and context, into the swamps of legislative history." Read More ›
Supreme Court Allows Employees of Private Contractors to Bring Sarbanes-Oxley Whistleblower Retaliation Claims
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court issued an opinion that may have sweeping implications for whistleblowers and employers. In Lawson v. FMR LLC, the Court decided that the anti-retaliation provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (18 U.S.C. § 1514A) allows an employee to bring a claim even if that employee works for a private contractor or subcontractor of a public company. The Court's decision could lead to a wide range of Sarbanes-Oxley lawsuits by outside counsel, private accountants, cleaning services, and others.
Lawson was a split decision. Justice Ginsburg, joined by Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Breyer, and Justice Kagan, and by Justices Scalia and Thomas "in principal part," wrote for the majority. Justice Scalia wrote a separate concurrence, joined by Justice Thomas. And in an unusual grouping, Justice Sotomayor authored the dissent, joined by Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito. Today, we'll tackle Justice Ginsburg's opinion; tomorrow, we'll take a look at what Justices Scalia and Sotomayor had to say.
But first, a little background. Read More ›

Grammy Award winner Bob Katz is one of the most uncompromising andrespected mastering engineers in the business. His book MasteringAudio: The Art and the Science ($39.99) is not so much a how-tomanual for do-it-yourself mastering engineers as a thoroughintroduction to the unique procedures and technical issues involved inmastering.
This book is poised to become the authoritative text on audiomastering. Because most of the top mastering engineers are unwilling todivulge their secrets to the masses, Katz's book is indispensable foranyone interested in mastering as a profession.
Beyond this admittedly narrow topic, Katz offers his personalperspective on rarely discussed topics such as critical listening, themonitoring environment, depth and clarity in recordings, anddigital-audio specifics (such as dithering and jitter). To his credit,Katz is also generous with informed opinions on the myths that permeatethe often misunderstood world of mastering, including his causecélèbre, the uses (and abuses) of compression.
Divided into five parts — Preparation, Mastering, AdvancedTheory and Practice, Out of the Jungle, and Appendices —Mastering Audio begins with the basics. Part one offers anoverview of mastering philosophy and gear, along with useful tutorialson listening, monitoring, and the fundamentals of bit rates, dithering,and decibels.
Part two continues to lift the veil of secrecy that often obscuresthe mastering engineer's practices. In this section, Katz delvesfurther into the art, science, and philosophy of mastering, as well asthe practical applications of equalization, dynamics processing, noisereduction, and other types of mastering processes. In addition, heoffers opinions on some of his favorite high-end mastering gear andmanufacturers.
Don your pocket protectors for part three, as Professor Katz getstechnical on the topics of jitter and clocking, high-sampling-raterecording, monitor calibration, multichannel audio, miking techniques,and acoustics. The chapter titled "How to Achieve Depth andDimension in Recording, Mixing, and Mastering" will appeal torecordists at all levels of expertise, as will a grab bag of insidertips and tricks related to a variety of analog- and digital-recordingissues. This section also includes several deluxe color plates and adetailed explanation of the K-System approach to standardized meteringand monitoring.
Having convincingly played the role of Mr. Science, Katz shows hisphilosophical side in part four with a short essay titled "Out ofthe Jungle." Here, the author addresses quality control,standards and the need for industry-wide education, and the thornytopic of mastering audio in nonprofessional or personal studiofacilities. He also includes a poetic meditation on the future of audioas he envisions it.
Part five collects useful information into appendices, includingtechnical specs, short papers, charts, a bibliography, and bios. Thebook also includes a handy foldout chart that equates musical pitch tofrequency (in hertz), referenced with the notes of the piano keyboardand common instrumental and vocal ranges.
With the strong academic focus of his writing, Katz succeeds atbeing the college professor we all wish we could have had. At the sametime, he never loses sight of the importance of listening, the value ofexperience, and the enjoyment of music as the ultimate goal ofmastering.
By maintaining this careful balance, Bob Katz is an inspiration toanyone wishing to improve their recording projects and become, inKatz's words, "a master of audio." As a mastering engineerand recording instructor myself, I would recommend this book withoutreservation to anyone in any sector of the audio industry.
