2012 Directed by Rian Johnson
Hunted By Your Future, Haunted By Your Past
In the futuristic action thriller Looper, time travel will be invented but it will be illegal and only available on the black market. When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they will send their target 30 years into the past where a looper, a hired gun, like Joe is waiting to mop up. Joe is getting rich and life is good until the day the mob decides to close the loop, sending back Joe's future self for assassination.

Fucking brilliant!
Looper is easily the best film I've seen this year! I loved everything about it! I was in awe from start to finish. The directing, performances, and plot are all top notch. Pierce Gagnon pratical steals the show as Cid with the best child performance I've seen since Haley Joel Osment in The Sixth Sense. I teared up at one point because I was so happy with what I was seeing. I can't recommend this film highly enough and I think most people will love it.
Writer-director Rian Johnson made a splash with his genre mash-up debut, Brick, before struggling with his muddled sophomore effort, The Brothers Bloom. Rather than paring things back Johnson stubbornly ploughed forward with another ambitious, mind bending extravaganza. Although I've had to admire his playful blending of genres and styles I've never quite bought wholeheartedly into vision - until now.
Looper is still a film that suffers from the director's familiar problems - too ambitious and too unfocused - but here the ambition is matched with an energy that is infectious. Rian Johnson has managed to take elements from every major, and not so major, sci-fi film of the past thirty years, stick them together and then, miraculously, made it work.…
Taking the tried & tested formula of time-traveling in sci-fi films, Looper creates an original beauty of a film that is as satisfying as its smart plot. It's not so complex that you're gonna have a hard time figuring it out nor is it too simple that you can spare your attention away from it for a while. The balance this movie has between its sci-fi elements & action-drama is its real strength, making it one of the best films of its year.
Looper presents a future where time travel has been invented but outlawed. Run by criminal organizations, it allows them to erase their enemies by sending them back in time where they are cleaned up by the "loopers". This tells…
I want so desperately to shake anyone into oblivion who has rated Looper less than [a super] low three stars, but I need to just accept it as perception and if everyone loved all of the same films, then the world would be a very boring place, right? Bullshit, but ideal, I suppose. I just find it almost strange that so many people loved Django Unchained but found this almost average or with "flaws", when for me, it was the other way around. I just wonder, did we watch the same movies? Can we loop back in time and make you watch this again, please? I am not trying to offend anyone, I am just truly at a loss for…
Rian Johnson...you fucking genius you.
Not only did you make an awesome movie...you may have just become my favorite director working today. It's either you or Paul Thomas Anderson.
Joseph Gordon Levitt...even if you do look like a damn catfish in all that makeup...you gave the best Bruce Willis impression ever.
Bruce Willis...you haven't been this badass since Die Hard man and you are fucking awesome again.
Looper...you may have just became my favorite movie of the year.
Either this or The Avengers.
You know what...fuck it. At risk of causing some controversy, I think this IS the best film of the year; so far at least.
Now that's how you make a god damn movie.

it doesnt make sense. too many plot holes.
Pretty much the same experience I had with this when I originally saw it. Good, even very good perhaps, but some yawn-inducing clichés keep it from being great. For some reason Emily Blunt has sex with JGL for no reason because, like I mentioned in my Edge Of Tomorrow review, Hollywood cannot have two attractive people not act on their attractiveness that us mere mortals will never achieve. I'm starting to wonder whether Emily Blunt just takes these roles so that she can make out with hot actors. Josh Brolin's probably next in Sicario and then Chris Hemsworth in The Huntsman. Krasinski must not be putting out or something.
Also Willis has a scene late in the film where he…
Fucking fantastic! If you're looking for a thrilling and interesting sci-fi film, Looper is the one for you.
I need to rewatch this
Solider Action Film mit nettem Aufhänger. Nur leider ist Joseph Gorden-Levitt ganz furchtbar geschmickt sobald er mit Bruce Willes in einer Szene zu sehen ist, was dem Film sehr schadet.
Ansonsten machen alle vor und hinter der Kamera einen guten Job und der Film ist insgesammt gut, aber nicht bahnbrechend.
Enjoyment: 6/10
Quality: 8/10
Great futuristic sci-fi action flick with a twist on the time-travel genre
Pues quizás es que me esperaba mucho, porque todo el mundo decía que estaba muy bien, pero me ha decepcionado.
Le he encontrado varios fallos menores que deslucen la película y la parte en la granja rompe con el ritmo, se hace demasiado larga. La cara de Gordon-Levitt estirada para parecerse a Willis se me ha acabado atragantando, contra mas lo pienso, menos me gusta, voy a acabar ya porque si no le quitare más estrellas.
Nos quedamos con dos y media.
Será que num futuro distante realmente teremos viagens no tempo e pessoas com poderes telecinéticos? Difícil dizer. Porém, podemos esperar, num futuro próximo talvez, Looper como um clássico da ficção científica.
O realismo das viagens mostra um dos principais pontos positivos do filme. Apesar da parte mais fantasiosa, ou seja, os poderes telecinéticos adquiridos por alguns seres humanos, o filme consegue manter-se pé no chão e não se preocupa em explicar o por quê dessa evolução, fazendo uso interessante dessa possibilidade dentro do roteiro.
Rian Johnson consegue entregar uma trama bem escrita e dirigida, que oferece um ótimo longa aos fãs do gênero.

Are you discovering that online payday loans are about your only aspiring to acquire some supplemental income? If this solution is yes, then it's time for you to have a close examine your money. Perhaps you may simply need to learn how to budget your earnings in a far more monetary pleasant method, or like many Americans, search oneself from debt. Whatever the situation might be, your credit rating is determined by it.
Usually, when somebody is utilizing a payday loan for a lot more than an unexpected crisis, there are many of cash issues currently in position. Online payday loans tend to be attributed for damaging somebody is budget, when for that most element; the loans removed bad are simply the newest issue. To be able to maintain payday loans direct lenders from being the sole outstanding choice for the money aid, you might want to have a close examine your credit record. These details enable you to understand just how much debt you bring and just how you handle it. If that which you discover in your credit record is keeping you from utilizing banks or acquiring credit cards, you then may wish to work on improving your credit.
Among the first issues you'll have to do before any modifications will need position would be to arrange your money and differentiate your allowance. When the first problem is creating your credit, you'll have to assess your debt and work out how to handle your expenses. Developing a budget and adhering to fight your debt may be the first-step. Overdue payments quickly harm your credit therefore put up automated funds or put up online bank to be able to maintain anymore blemishes from your credit rating. Cost background is essential for your lenders. Can you loan cash to somebody who is usually overdue or does not repay their loans?
Concentrate on paying down your debt. There are lots of lenders who'll discuss your debt if you should be prepared to spend it down at the same time. Any kind of revolving debt, like credit cards, you'll wish to pay-down and sometimes even down. Revolving debt is debt which could carry on around and around by spending and spending then investing again. This credit is rated very in your statement. Payment loans for example house mortgages or vehicle loans aren't rated as extremely.
If you could possibly get a lender to work well with you, ensure that what gets documented towards the credit agencies is inside your benefit. That you don't wish to accept any discussions which is documented as "not paid-as decided", you'll be making funds that'll just do injury to your credit. Before you accept pay-as flexible, make certain the lender may record your installments as "paid-as decided". Do not close records. It may seem this can be a great thought to close them along when you spend them down, however it isn't. This can harm your credit usage percentage which steps your debt to how you handle it. Maintain cards available with reduced amounts to improve your credit report somewhat.

Remember the Jays signing Ramon Castro? Well, they kinda didn't
Dec 30, 2009, 1:28 PM EDT
I'm not going to say that the hot stove season moves a bit too fast for its own good these days, but it was probably only a matter of time before this happened:
It turns out that the power-hitting back-up catcher who everyone reported that the Blue Jays had signed earlier this month is still a free agent. The Jays never did sign him, despite getting involved in negotiations with him. I'm not sure how or why it fell through, or if it even got close enough to reach the point where one can even accurately say that it 'fell through', but it didn't happen.
Jorge Arangue reported that Castro signed (or that his signing was imminent). MLB.com had it too. MLB Trade Rumors picked it up. We picked it up. So did a bunch of other people. As I mentioned last week, we've gotten to the point where most of us don't wait around for the official announcement before running with stuff. I'm actually surprised other, low-wattage deals haven't fallen through, only to escape the notice of the tweeting masses. It's probably something all of us in the rumor-mongering business should pay a bit closer attention to going forward.
But you know what would be cool? If Castro just showed up at Jays camp like Willie Mays Hayes and acted like he was on the team anyway. Wouldn't it be awkward if no one said anything until after he beat out John Buck?
- Old Gator - Dec 31, 2009 at 1:20 AM
Power hitting? Well, I guess that depends which teenager he's hitting on this week. He'd better be careful in Toronto; they bundle up pretty heavily up there and it'd be tough to distinguish the legitimate jailbait from the acolyte drag queens.

Current projects include technical skills in Javascript (jQuery, AngularJS, NodeJS), CSS3 (including Bootstrap 3), HTML5, MySQL, OrientDB (graph database), Sqlite, and Objective-C (iOS development). Web sites and applications are now trending towards Javascript on, both, the front-end and middle/application layer. With AngularJS on the front and NodeJS in the middle. Companies that wish to go mobile usually transition with a dynamic, mobile-ready site using Bootstrap to create break points at different screen sizes. This will allow customers to view the same site on a mobile smartphone as the site displayed on the desktop, just styled proportionally. For there a mobile app usually comes into play with more advanced user interaction. Manipulating images, notifications, and utilizing the many sensors included on the device. Cloud computing is a great way to start. Using Amazon Web Services (AWS), a small company can start a server with a "buy as much as you use" structure. Static pages running as low as pennies a day and full servers starting off at under $15/month. With a full knowledge of AWS services, I can get your server online as well with minimal costs and maximum speed. Your one-stop solution to your next web site or application is right at your finger tips!

Not sure if there has been any posts on this, did not notice anything recently. Just wondering if Hoke is an old-school, run a brutal camp to see who survives or if he is just trying to set the tone for this year. Could be bias in the reporting since there has been a staff change, but it seems that the physicality of the practices have been noted pretty often by a variety of sources. I am all for tackling drills and some live scrimmage, however, I also want the team intact (knock on wood everybody has been healthy).

Copper Mining's Environmental Challenge
Proposals by PolyMet Mining for an open pit copper-nickel mine just north of Hoyt Lakes, Minn., are raising environmental concerns, but the company says it will meet its sustainability obligations.
Containment of water from a tailings basin, as well as of snow and rain falling into mining pits and on piles of leftover rock, would comprise a "herculean feat of engineering that has never been successfully done before on this scale," Minnesota Public Radio reports. And while PolyMet plans to mine for 20 years, water that flows through the site would need to be treated for at least 200 years, and a processing plant site would require treatment for 500 years, according to a draft of the company's environmental impact statement.
The EPA found one draft of the EIS inadequate, and this Friday a new one is due to be released.
If the proposal can wend its way through the Minnesota regulatory system – including possible lawsuits, and final approval from the governor – it could open up a booming sector in the state, as 11 other companies are waiting to launch similar projects.
Polymet CEO Jon Cherry says his company will "set the standard" for further developments.
Mining is certainly a sector that could do with environmental trailblazers. As Dallas Kachan of Kachan & Co. notes, techniques and equipment developed in the early 1990s are still standard in many mining operations today. But environmental innovations and clean-tech cost reductions can make mining more profitable while also making it better for the planet.
New technology has struggled to find a foothold because few companies are willing to be first movers, but the attitude is changing because of the potential economic benefits.
Companies are also being driven by threatened margins. Production costs for commodities including copper, aluminum and nickel have already reached or exceeded London Metal Exchange prices for some operations, Kachan notes.
Takeaway: Proposed mining operations such as those in Minnesota face a number of drivers – including public opinion, regulatory pressure and economic concerns – driving them to adopt more environmentally friendly practices.

I'll be disappointed if sneering Mourinho wins tonight... Giroud is hopeless, Arsenal could have had a better striker for FREE... Lerner must respect Villa's proud history
Anyone else going to feel disappointed if Jose Mourinho is successful at Old Trafford tonight?
He has plenty of trophies on his c.v. but he also has plenty of negatives. He once questioned a referee who then got death threats and decided to retire. So much for respect.
He poked his finger into an opposition coach's eye on the touchline as part of a detailed plan to destabilise Barcelona at the height of their greatness.
His sneering and bold accusations of conspiracies and cheating against Real Madrid led to one of the greatest and most innovative coaches football has ever seen – Pep Guardiola – growing too tired to do the job any more.
Not everyone's favourite: There is plenty to dislike about Jose Mourinho, despite his phenomenal success

Mourinho has reportedly sent Tito Vilanova his best wishes but, for me, there is something deeply wrong with the amount of celebrating Real Madrid have done in the Barcelona faces after recent victories in El Clasico. Vilanova is in the USA having treatment for cancer.
If Real Madrid go through they will have deserved to go through I suppose, but I prefer people who love football to be winners, not people who depend on off-the- field nonsense as part of their tactics.
Let's face facts – Olivier Giroud isn't Robin van Persie. Watching Giroud lumber around White Hart Lane in the north London derby on Sunday made me wonder what direction Arsenal are taking.
When Mertesacker was thrown up front towards the end of the game it was clear all innovation had gone out of the window and they were lumping it up to the lumps up front. Arsenal lost.
The previous day at Blackburn one of the Football League's hottest properties right now, 5ft 9in Londoner Dwight Gayle, scored a hat-trick to lift my team Peterborough United off the bottom of the table. It was a perfect hat-trick: the first with his left-foot, the second with his head and the third with his right-foot.
Gayle, a 22-year-old pacy striker who feels his biggest strength is his finishing, could have been playing for Arsenal. He was with the Gunners as a schoolboy, but released at the age of 12 when the club told him he was too small, that he lacked height and strength.
Main man: Gayle scored a hat-trick against Blackburn as Peterborough climbed off the bottom of the Championship
That rejection led to Gayle losing interest in becoming a footballer, so he went from Arsenal to kicking a ball around with his mates until, at the age of 19, he started on a path that took him from Stansted (who of course are nicknamed the Airportmen) in the Essex Senior League, to being named the Championship player of the month last December.
The man who brought him into professional football, John Still (now Luton Town manager), believes he is definitely a Premier League player, but can't say for certain if he is top four material.
Years after Gayle was told he was too
small, Arsenal paid £12m for Giroud. He's big and he was ineffective in a
game that really mattered on Sunday.
I can't say Dwight Gayle would
have done better. But I do know the person who made that decision on
12-year-old Gayle was basically saying he wouldn't become a professional
footballer. He was very, very wrong.
What a shame Arsenal didn't work hard with a young player and turn him into their first homegrown English star striker to come through under Wenger since... well there hasn't been one during Wenger's reign.
Contrast: Olivier Giroud (left) struggled for Arsenal but Dwight Gayle (right) has impressed at Peterborough
The big clubs in England have a terrible recent record at producing strikers through their academies.
Only Manchester United's Danny Welbeck currently stands out as a striker who has established himself at the top level at the club where he came through.
Man City gave up producing their own strikers in the 1980s – apart from Daniel Sturridge, who they couldn't hold on to; Arsenal have to go back to Kevin Campbell in the early Ninetiess for a regular first-team striker through their youth system (Bendtner joined as a 16-year-old and isn't very good), although Andy Cole came through the Gunners' system but was allowed to leave after just two substitute appearances.
Rare breed: Danny Welbeck (left) and Daniel Sturridge are two of just a handful of homegrown English strikers
Chelsea gave us Carlton Cole and before that Tommy Langley in the 1970s but have Tottenham ever produced a top striker through their youth system? Peter Crouch I guess, but they let him go without a first team appearance after he graduated from the academy. They had to pay £10million to get him back. Mark Falco? Really?
There are success stories – I'm hopeful that Liverpool can still produce strikers like Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen, Everton gave English football Wayne Rooney, Newcastle deserve credit for producing decent Premier League strikers in Andy Carroll and Shola Ameobi.
All those have had an impact at the clubs where they came through (if you're laughing at Ameobi's inclusion check out his record against Sunderland – second only to Jackie Milburn).
Hero: The much-maligned Shola Ameobi has a phenomenal scoring record for Newcastle against Sunderland
The big clubs in England should be ashamed of their poor record of producing strikers. Do academy coaches really know what they're doing?
If Aston Villa finish in the bottom three after 38 Premier League games they will deserve to go down.
But for me that is unthinkable and I believe owner Randy Lerner will have to take full responsibility. Villa are a huge club, and their European Cup win in 1982 remains for me the most amazing achievement of any club in the history of English football.
Champions in 1981, Villa went into Europe's top competition as outsiders. Halfway through their campaign and after successive seasons where he had to sell star names and work on a reduced budget, manager Ron Saunders fell out with the board and quit, leaving the inexperienced Tony Barton in charge with a quarter final against Dynamo Kiev looming. Villa didn't concede another goal in the tournament.
Glory days: Peter Withe scored the winner for Aston Villa against Bayern Munich in 1982
Celebration: Villa's Withe and Nigel Spink with the European Cup after their famous win over Bayern
The final in Rotterdam was ridiculous. Nine minutes in, keeper Jimmy Rimmer had to go off injured, making way for young Nigel Spink, who had played only one senior game prior to that night. Bayern Munich battered Villa, but Peter Withe shinned one in off the post for the only goal of the game.
Villa were European champions but not one of those players featured for England in the World Cup that summer. Incredible.
I wonder how much Lerner knows about that glorious run, or that famous final. How much does he know about Dennis Mortimer's incredible leadership, Tony Morley flying down the wing, or Gary Shaw's dynamism and finishing?
And if he knows about them why can't he see how much Villa have been lacking those kind of players this season?
Dejection: Aston Villa are staring at relegation from the Premier League after a shocking season
Owners need to respect history first and foremost and maybe then managers won't be left in a position where they are trying to steer a great club to safety with mainly inexperienced youngsters being asked to perform miracles beyond their capabilities.
I don't need anyone to tell me I'm
right – it's all about opinions after all - but I was delighted Gary
Neville shocked a few people when he declared that the
record-breaking Chelsea champions of 2005 were a better side than the
Arsenal Invincibles of the previous season.
Chelsea reached a stunning 95 points that season, five more than the Gunners, who drew their way to that unbeaten record. Don't believe me? Four of their last five games were draws that season. They became a side that didn't play to win. An achievement, but they were massively overrated.
If you think it's an anti-Arsenal rant, then think again. That Chelsea side wasn't the best in Premier League history. Like Neville, I believe Arsenal's 1998 double winners (left) were better.

Great atmosphere in this stunning old home. We had lunch (soup and fish) and it was superb. Would be happy to return for another meal.
Lovely park with great restaurant attached. Nice place to go in summer and feed the ducks. On Saturday they have a Farmers Market here which is fantastic and sells food from all over the world as well as fresh produce.
The weekend market here is really fantastic and has heaps of different stalls for everyone. Food is really delicious. The house itself and the grounds are really worth seeing and wandering around.
There is something here for everyone. The place is worth the early Saturday rise to not miss out on anything. The funky, fun, innovative, young, delish food stalls cater to everyone. Take plenty, not because it is expensive, because it is not - purely because you will want to buy one of everything! The coffee and food smells entice one...
Came here for a walk with the kids. It's amazing that such a beautiful place is only 5 mins from a huge mall. The kids loved the trees, walkway and birds. It's now a regular feature in our weekends.
Would thoroughly recommend the tour around the old Deans family home to anyone after an experience in the rich pioneering history and culture of Christchurch. The grounds also include the oldest building in Canterbury, the original Deans Cottage, which I found fascinating.
Fantastic team to deal with, worked with us to create a conference that met our budget, stunning food, unique environment, very professional and special.
There is a farmers market on Saturday and a craft market on Sunday, but both days have nice food, good coffee and many interesting stalls.
If you like markets, don't miss this one!
I found out about these markets through TripAdvisor and as my wedding reception had been at Riccarton House, I was keen to go back for a visit. The markets are sensational with a huge selection of foods and home made products - not generic stuff you see at other markets. We were able to look around inside Riccarton House and...
What a glam-market in Christchurch City. Again was pointed out by our lovely host from B&B, insisted we have to make the trip on our departure day. Where all the yuppies and locals spend their Saturday morning market mixing.

Looks like the Wu-Tang Clan will be releasing that reunion album after all — that is if Method Man has his way. During a recent episode of "RapFix Live," Raekwon told us he was just waiting to get the business right before committing to the new Wu LP, which would time perfectly with the group's 20-year anniversary. Mr. Meth, on the other hand, is all in.
"November 10 of this year will be our 20th anniversary officially. How many brothers you know kept a job for 20 years?" Tical asked the crowd jokingly at a Hollywood performance over the weekend. "We got the Wu-Tang anniversary album coming up, we're working on that now."
RZA, the leader of the Wu, first proposed the idea of an anniversary album, which will mark the release of their debut, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), back in November 1993. The producer/MC said that if the now-eight member crew relinquished complete creative control to him, that they could craft a formidable comeback LP.
The group's last album, 8 Diagrams, released in 2007, was a bump in the road creatively for the crew. It was a point that Raekwon was vocal about when the LP was released. As far as the new Wu album is concerned, the Chef wants to see it come to fruition; he just wants everyone in step.
"The bottom line is: Of course I want to see a Wu-Tang reunion. Of course. Who wouldn't?" Rae said last month. "I just want everything to be right, the business. When we made a lot of our great music, it was because we were in harmony. You cannot put guys together if there is no harmony, and on top of it, we're doing business. As a man with children, I have to always look at that. It's bigger than sometimes just the thought of it — the fact of it, it just gotta make sense."
Ghostface Killah is down with the idea as well and revealed to us last year that he too has begun recording for the comeback LP. "I believe in [RZA] because if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be standing here today, regardless of what," GFK said . "He still got this same hungry for this Wu sh–."

DUBAI Security forces in the United Arab Emirates have arrested a cell of UAE and Saudi Arabian citizens which was planning to carry out militant attacks in both countries and other states, the official news agency WAM said on Wednesday.
The U.S.-allied UAE, a federation of seven emirates and a major oil exporter that has supported Western counter-terrorism efforts in the region, has been spared any attack by al Qaeda and other insurgency groups.
But some of its emirates have seen a rise in Islamist sentiment in recent years, and Dubai, a business and tourism hub and cosmopolitan city that attracts many Westerners, could make an attractive target for Islamist militants, analysts say.
Those arrested had acquired materials and equipment for use in what WAM called terrorist operations.
"The security authorities in the UAE, in coordination with the related security parties in Saudi Arabia, announced the arrest of an organised cell from the deviant group that was planning to carry out actions against national security of both countries and some brotherly states," WAM said without elaborating.
The phrase "the deviant group" is often used by authorities in Saudi Arabia to describe al Qaeda members.
Emirati political analyst Abdulkhaleq Abdullah told Reuters he believed it was the first time the UAE had announced a suspected attack plot of regional significance.
It "looks like it is a big one, mainly because it includes Emirati citizens and is not confined to the UAE but also has a regional dimension."
In August, Saudi authorities arrested a group of suspected al Qaeda-linked militants - mostly Yemeni nationals - in Riyadh.
Saudi Arabia has arrested thousands of suspected militants since the 2003-2006 attacks on residential compounds for foreign workers and on Saudi government facilities in which were dozens of people were killed.
The United States has poured aid into Yemen to stem the threat of attacks from al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and to try to prevent any spillover of violence into Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter.
In 2010, AQAP, a merger of al Qaeda's Yemeni and Saudi branches, said it was behind a plot to send two parcel bombs to the United States. The bombs were intercepted in Britain and Dubai.
The UAE has escaped the upheaval that has shaken the Arab world but moved swiftly to stem any sign of political dissent by detaining more than 60 local Islamists this year over alleged threats to state security and links to a foreign group.
Those detainees, who belong to an Islamist group called al-Islah, have confessed to setting up a secret organisation with an armed force whose aim was to take power and establish an Islamic state, local media reported in September. Islah denied the accusations.
Many of the detained Islamists come from the more religiously conservative northern emirates such as Sharjah and Ras al-Khaimah, which produced one of the September 11 hijackers.
In May 2002, al Qaeda militants sent a letter to UAE authorities saying continued UAE cooperation with Washington in arresting what it called holy warriors would "bring the country into an arena of conflict," according to al Qaeda documents captured by the U.S. military and published by the Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. military academy at West point.

Oil demand is recovering, but are we susceptible to irrational exuberance?
By Vandana Hari | June 19, 2015 12:01 AM Comments (3)
The world seems to be using more oil now that it is 40% cheaper than a year ago and especially so in countries enjoying some economic growth momentum.
Depending on who you are listening to, the US, China, India and the Middle East are cited as the main drivers of demand growth in 2015, with consumption in Japan and the Eurozone improving from a low base last year, in line with their economic recovery.

A Hamilton businesswoman is accused of "grossly inflating" figures on the number of children attending two childhood centres she owned - which earned her hundreds of thousands in government funding she was not entitled to.
Trixie Rosina Leigh is on trial in the Hamilton District Court on four charges of using a document for pecuniary advantage.
At the first day of proceedings yesterday the court heard Leigh, the owner of Trixie's Learning Centre and Trixie's Early Learning Centre - Babies, had allegedly submitted four forms to the Ministry of Education during the first half of 2012 in which she exaggerated the number of children attending the two centres and the hours they were there.
Crown prosecutor Philip Crayton said the allegedly falsified RS7 forms led to an overpayment of $247,000 from the ministry. There was also an $80,000 "bonus", also from the ministry, which was paid to Leigh because the attendance figures at the centres had been increasing.
"This amounted to $327,000 to which she and the business were not entitled . . . The fraud managed to increase funds paid to the accused by around 75 per cent."
Trixie's Learning Centre was licensed for a maximum 38 children, while Trixie's Early Learning Centre - Babies could have up to 20 youngsters on the roll.
Up until the start of 2012 the number of children attending the main childcare centre was in single figures - "massively under capacity", Crayton said.
But then, according to figures supplied to the ministry by Leigh, the attendance suddenly soared into the mid 20s.
The two centres maintained records based on parents and caregivers signing their children in and out, and a computerised role called First Base was maintained.
At the time when the alleged false figures began to be sent to the ministry, Leigh temporarily dispensed with the First Base system in favour of handwritten notes.
Crayton said staff at the two childcare centres had allegedly said Leigh had told them child numbers at the centres needed to be increased.
Leigh had also been borrowing money from New Zealand Childcare Finance, a private lending company specialising in the childcare sector.
She began with a $60,000 loan in December 2011.
"It was sought right at the start of the period for which the first fraudulent form was submitted."
Further loans were sought over the following month, including one on October 12, after a ministry audit of the businesses had taken place, requesting $327,000. During this time, both businesses had been on the market, with one being offered by Leigh to one of the facility's staff members for $300,000.
Crayton said Leigh's allegedly inflated figures had raised the sale price of the business to $427,000.
"It significantly improved the impression of the business as a viable concern."
Crayton said after notification a ministry audit was imminent, the attendance figures provided by Leigh dropped back down, "because the accused knew the game was up".
Defence lawyer Sasha Nepe opted not to give an opening address to the jury yesterday.
The trial is expected to continue until Thursday this week.

I Question Any Tea Party Group That's Against E-Verify
E-Verify is THE only way we have to prevent illegal aliens from getting jobs in this country. If the program were expanded and the government actually put some resources into it, it would make it extremely difficult for illegal aliens to get any job worth having in this country. In other words, it's the single most important thing we can do to fight illegal immigration. Although I'm in favor of putting a fence on the border, hiring more border patrol agents, and Arizona's immigration law, E-Verify is more important than all of those things. Why? Because if illegal aliens can't get jobs in this country, they won't come here in the first place. Why? Because if the illegal aliens who are already here can't get a job, most of them will self-deport and go home.
An open letter from leaders of the groups Take Back Washington, Tea Party Nation, Downsize DC, GOProud, the D.C. Tea Party and other conservative groups calls on members of Congress to reject the Legal Workforce Act, a bill sponsored by U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) that would mandate the use of the electronic identification system E-Verify by all businesses nationwide.
Promoting illegal immigration in America is not a conservative position and it's not a Tea Party position. There are, on the other hand, plenty of establishment conservatives who want to promote illegal immigration because they incorrectly think it will help the GOP with Hispanics. There are also country club, conservative corporatists who like illegal immigration because they think they can benefit from it personally while the rest of society is left to pick up the tab. But, being pro-illegal immigration is not a Tea Party position, I don't trust any Tea Party group that opposes E-Verify, and I have no qualms about asking them publicly to let everyone know if they have any donors who've asked them to take that position.

I'm totally with you on that, I shall keep searching too :)Delete
BB creams need to wait a couple of minutes to set and the shade changes a little. The gray undertone usually disappears after that and suits your skintone. But you have to wait a little before setting with your powder, otherwise you will set this greyish shade...ReplyDelete
