Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from Term Paper:
Many employers refused to hire women despite governmental regulations, or hired them at much lower rates than their male counterparts. While society was expanding their gender role again, the limitations surrounding this expansion left women confused as to their position in society (Rupp, 74). Even those who supported the new roles accepted them only in a temporary fashion, expected women to return again to their role of homemaker and wife following the war years (Rupp, 75).
When America claimed victory, the positions held by women were extinguished. The men returned home, and resumed their roles as the main bread winner of the family. However, the gender role shift for women did not allow some to simply return to their previous lives. Women had found a freedom in employment, and had fought discrimination and achieved social and economic mobility without the assistance of males. Many women chose to continue their employment, even at lower wages, for an opportunity to continue their positions of power and independence (Rupp, 76).
By the 1950's, gender roles were further challenged as those women in the workforce began to fight for equality in society. Simultaneously, those women serving as housewives began again, as in the 1920's, to become concerned about fashion, music, and television. While one-half of single women were employed, only one fourth of married women were employed, showing again a clear definition of women in society. As in previous years, the sociological trend was for single women to appear as objects of desire and independence, but on marriage, were to revert to wife and mother (Milkman, 22).
By the 1960's, sociological trends of gender roles again showed a change. Birth control pills were approved, allowing women the freedom of sexuality without responsibility. The sexual revolution ensued, securing women in their role of sexy, appealing, and free spirits. Men, on the other hand, could now freely pursue sexual activity without thoughts of family or responsibility. This shift, unprecedented in history, allowed women to assume responsibility for their own sexuality, and forced men to give the power over family planning to the female (Cawthorne, 45).
In addition to the change of roles pertaining to sexuality, women were awarded equal pay for equal employment, allowed the right to abort, and found themselves again in control of their own decisions. Sociological trends again altered, giving women the freedom to make their own decisions, and have a say in their own education, employment, and future choices. Female independence became a mainstay in society as opposed to a forced effect of war or conflict (Cawthorne, 76).
From this point forward, gender roles continued to blend, furthering the equality of men and women. During the 1970's, women were allowed in the U.S. Army, making a previously male role open to both sexes. The Education Amendments act ensured women could pursue any academic field of their choice, further blurring the gender role line. During the 1980's, the first woman was allowed on the U.S. Supreme Court, showing women could assume the highest political and legal roles of the country. Women excelled in the Olympic Games, showing women could achieve the same physical attainments as men. By the 1990's, women were prominent in politics, military, education, and all other areas of society.
There can be no question that throughout history, society has shaped and formed the gender roles of both sexes to suit the needs of the country. But with each step, society introduced new opportunities to women that allowed them to cross gender barriers, and become equal members of society. From the homemaker of the 1920's to the flapper, from the housewife to the welder, and from the educator to the Supreme Court justice, women have consistently continued to broaden their roles in society. Trends of society, which originally deemed women as only useful for homemakers, altered with the changes in the world, and forced changes that made gender roles nearly extinct. Today, women and men are nearly equal in the U.S., and with each change in the social concepts of the world, this trend expands. It is clear that the future holds only more equality, and a further blurring of gender roles that will eventually eliminate the differences between the sexes and will provide equality and a single role for all of the population.

Americans judged the Chinese according to the own ideals and customs. This distorted the American view of China was that it was much like the United States in many ways (Jesperson, 1996, p. 8). When China came under communist control, Americans made the error of thinking that the Chinese were just like them in many ways. Regardless of how one feels about the westernization of China and Chinese culture, its
While the issue has become a states' issue, the main objection to narrowly construing marriage as a union between a man and a woman (as the Defense of Marriage Act, 1996 does) is based on substantive due process available under the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution . Therefore most of the efforts in this regard are aimed at re-establishing these parameters. 3. Talk about sexism in the workplace. Have you ever

Gender Back in history, the only roles of a Korean woman were to be a good daughter, a good wife, and a good mother. She was expected to sacrifice for her family, caring not only for her husband but also for her in-laws.

This company exceeded my expectations! I had read so many bad reviews AFTER I had already placed the order and paid, and was so worried about if I would get my dress on time for my wedding. I looked at my dress status every day. On the thirteenth day after placing my order, my dress was ready for delivery and then shipped out later that same day. I think they did super express shipping because I got my dress the very next day around three in the afternoon. I opened the box and pulled out the dress and it was as beautiful as the picture. I am very pleased with the quality and speed of shipping. I would order from this website again.

KAREN KINCAID BALMER, AS RECEIVER FOR OLYMPIA MORTGAGE CORPORATION, PLAINTIFF,v.1716 REALTY LLC AND 1716 REALTY CORPORATION, DEFENDANTS.
Plaintiff Karen Kincaid Balmer is the court-appointed Receiver for Olympia Mortgage Corporation ("Olympia"), the mortgage company alleged to have perpetrated a massive fraudulent scheme against Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"). See Federal Nat'l Mortgage Ass'n v. Olympia Mortgage Corp., No. 04-4971 (E.D.N.Y. filed Nov. 16, 2004) ("Fannie Mae v. Olympia"). In her capacity as Receiver, plaintiff brings this action to pierce the corporate veil of defendants 1716 Realty LLC ("1716 LLC") and 1716 Realty Corporation ("1716 Corporation"), two entities owned by Olympia's principals and formed to manage an office building from which Olympia could conduct its business. Plaintiff moves for summary judgment pursuant to Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, seeking a declaratory judgment that these entities are alter egos of Olympia and that Olympia is therefore the legal owner of defendants' assets. Alternatively, plaintiff moves for partial summary judgment on her claim for moneys had and received. Defendants also move for summary judgment on their counter-claim for rent allegedly due and owing from Olympia, or, in the event trial is needed, for consolidation of this case with the underlying action of Fannie Mae v. Olympia.
Olympia is a New York corporation that acted as a mortgage lender and servicer from 1986 until November 4, 2004, when the company surrendered its license following a suspension by the New York State Department of Banking. Olympia has no record of its directors being formally elected and only a single record of a corporate meeting held during its approximately 20 years of conducting business. From at least 1998, Olympia was an insolvent company.
On November 16, 2004, Fannie Mae, a government-sponsored private corporation that had purchased thousands of mortgages originated by Olympia and had retained Olympia to service those mortgages, filed suit against Olympia and various individuals and entities with an interest in that company alleging fraud and breach of contract.*fn1 In short, Fannie Mae alleges that, with respect to approximately 260 loans, Olympia failed to provide it notice when borrowers attempted to pay off their existing loans through refinancing. Instead, Olympia's principals collected the pay off amounts for themselves, and, in order to prevent Fannie Mae from learning of the refinancing, Olympia continued to make monthly payments on the loans and reported the status of the loans as "active."
On August 27, 2007, the court entered a Consent Judgment against Olympia on Fannie Mae's contract claims in the amount of $44,800,000. Olympia stipulated in the Consent Judgment that it breached its fiduciary duty to Fannie Mae and its contract with Fannie Mae to "remit loan payoff amounts owed to Fannie Mae in a timely manner and fully and honestly inform Fannie Mae with regard to the loans Olympia serviced for Fannie Mae." Olympia further admitted that, as a result of its breach, it "gained an improper financial benefit for itself."
Various other claims and counter-claims remain pending in Fannie Mae v. Olympia, including a claim against 1716 Corporation for actual and constructive fraud in violation of Article 10 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law. Although the Receiver alleged various cross-claims against several individuals and entities in that action, she did not name 1716 Corporation as a cross-claim defendant. However, on February 11, 2005, the Receiver filed this action against 1716 Corporation and 1716 LLC.
The following facts are undisputed unless otherwise indicated:*fn2
Olympia, 1716 Corporation, and 1716 LLC are all entities owned by various members of four families, namely those of Avruhum ("Abe") Donner, Barry Goldstein, Leib Pinter, and Sam Pinter.*fn3 Olympia's principals formed 1716 Corporation on June 23, 1998 under New York State laws and 1716 LLC on September 7, 2000 as a Delaware limited liability company. Both of the companies were capitalized entirely by Olympia's profits; none of the defendants' owners contributed any equity to the companies. All of the costs associated with 1716 Corporation's formation, including filing and legal fees, were also borne by Olympia.
Defendants were formed to own and manage an office building on a parcel of real estate that had been purchased by Olympia in February 1998, before either defendant had been formed.*fn4 The decision was made pursuant to a "general agreement" among Olympia's principals that the company needed a "better physical structure and location . . . to advance the needs of the business." Olympia did not document the decision in writing but entered into a contract to purchase 1716 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, New York ("the Property") for $575,000 and paid $10,000 on deposit. On or about September 17, 1998, Olympia sold the land to 1716 Corporation for $565,000, but funded $210,000 of the purchase price and guaranteed the balance in the form of a $355,000 loan from European American Bank. Olympia thereafter made all of the mortgage payments on the loan while it remained open and paid for subsequent property acquisition and development expenses, including architect fees, permit and extension costs, and mortgage lending fees. Olympia also guaranteed 1716 Corporation's construction loan obtained on June 22, 2000, without executing a written agreement regarding the terms of the loan, and it eventually provided all of the funds to pay off the loan. Defendants did not pay any interest or provide any security for repayment of the loan. Mr. Goldstein testified that because "[i]t was almost like lending it from one place to the other to be paid back . . ., [t]here was no interest that was supposed to have been paid."
In December 2002, 1716 Corporation entered into a new mortgage loan agreement, guaranteed by Olympia and 1716 Corporation's principals, with General Electric Capital Corporation for $1,550,000. Olympia's records indicate that the loan is a "receivable" from 1716 Corporation and that Olympia has made $208,370.00 in mortgage payments on the loan.
The loan remains a lien on the building. The proceeds of the loan, net of closing costs and final payment of the first mortgage loan with European American Bank, which amounted to $1,323,245.44., was wired to an Olympia account. Olympia's records indicate that the sum was distributed in the following manner: (1) $501,000 was immediately transferred to a purported religious not-for-profit entity named Kahal Somrei Hadath ("KSH") and controlled by Sam Pinter; (2) $200,000 was immediately transferred to Midwood Federal Credit Union ("Midwood") and used to pay off two personal loans to Sam Pinter and Leib Pinter for $100,000 each; (3) $205,000 was immediately transferred to an account at Midwood held by Yeshiva Yaakow Moshe and was later distributed to Sam Pinter and Leib Pinter's children and spouses through checks in either $15,000 or $20,000 amounts; (4) $426,946 was used for the following: operating expenses and construction costs for 1716 Corporation, other payments to related parties and related party noteholders, benefits for principal owners and related parties, personal credit card expenses, car payments, and payments to Fannie Mae for loans falsely noted as "active."
In addition to helping defendants purchase and construct the Property, Olympia paid for other of defendants' expenses. From 1998 to 1999, Olympia paid for 1716 Corporation's income and franchise taxes, insurance, architectural fees, and demolition and construction costs from its own operating account. In some instances, Olympia recorded these expenditures as company expenses rather than loans. Olympia also provided personnel services to defendants, such as accounting, bookkeeping, purchasing, and administration, without receiving compensation in return. An Olympia employee maintained all of defendants' files at its office, and defendants' mail was frequently delivered "in care of" Olympia. Olympia employees even wrote letters on behalf of 1716 Corporation using Olympia letterhead, and vendors involved in projects with defendants sent proposals and invoices directly to Olympia. At all times, defendants shared office space, addresses, and phone numbers with Olympia.
In or about the middle of 2003, construction on the Property was completed. Pursuant to a lease signed by Olympia in December 2002, Olympia agreed to pay an annual rent of $345,000 for occupancy of the second and third floors of the office building. Olympia's books contain an offset of $13,333.33 per month for those months that Olympia could not occupy the building.
In November 2004, around the same time that Olympia was placed under receivership, Sam Pinter assumed control of defendants from Barry Goldstein. In addition to maintaining the two bank accounts held in 1716 Corporation and 1716 LLC's names at Independence Bank, Sam Pinter opened additional accounts at Chase Bank by the end of 2004. Since then, all of 1716 LLC's finances, including outstanding mortgage payments on the Property and all utility and maintenance expenses, have been run through the Chase accounts and paid for by 1716 LLC. All rents generated by the Property, apart from those allegedly due and owing from Olympia, have been deposited in these accounts as well.
I. Standard of Review
Summary judgment is appropriate where "the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322 (1986). A genuine issue of material fact exists where "the evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party." Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248 (1986). The court must view the inferences to be drawn from the facts in the light most favorable to the party opposing the motion. Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 587 (1986). However, the non-moving party may not "rely on mere speculation or conjecture as to the true nature of the facts to overcome a motion for summary judgment", Knight v. U.S. Fire Ins. Co., 804 F.2d 9, 12 (2d Cir. 1986), but "must come forward with specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial", Matsushita, 475 U.S. at 586-8 (emphasis removed).
II. Piercing the Corporate Veil
The concept of piercing the corporate veil is a limitation on the accepted principle that a corporation is independent of its owners and that, as a separate legal entity, the owners are normally not liable for the corporation's debts. See Morris v. N.Y. State Dept. of Taxation & Finance, 82 N.Y.2d 135, 140 (1993). Although New York courts are reluctant to disregard the corporate form, they will do so "when the form has been used to achieve fraud, or when the corporation has been so dominated by an individual or another corporation . . ., and its separate identity so disregarded, that it primarily transacted the dominator's business rather than its own and can be called the other's alter ego."*fn5 Gartner v. Snyder, 607 F.2d 582, 586 (2d Cir. 1979). Because the concept is equitable in nature, the decision to pierce the corporate veil is not "reduced to definitive rules" but will "necessarily depend on the attendant facts and equities." Morris, 82 N.Y.2d at 141. Generally, however, piercing the corporate veil requires a showing that: (1) the owners exercised complete domination over the corporation with respect to the transaction at issue; and (2) that this domination was used to commit a "fraud or wrong" against the plaintiff, which resulted in plaintiff's injury. Id.; American Protein Corp. v. AB Volvo, 844 F.2d 56, 60 (2d Cir. 1988), cert. denied, 488 U.S. 852 (1988).
A. Complete Domination
A showing of complete domination is "the key to piercing the corporate veil, especially when the owners use the corporation as a mere device to further their personal rather than the corporate business." Morris, 82 N.Y.2d at 141-42. There are a number of factors that can be considered when deciding whether such domination and control exist, including:
(1) the absence of the formalities and paraphernalia that are part and parcel of the corporate existence, i.e., the issuance of stock, election of directors, keeping of corporate records, and the like, (2) inadequate capitalization, (3) whether funds are put in and taken out of the corporation for personal rather than corporate purposes, (4) overlap in ownership, officers, directors, and personnel, (5) common office space, address and telephone numbers of corporate entities, (6) the amount of business discretion displayed by the allegedly dominated corporation, (7) whether the related corporations deal with the dominated corporation at arms length, (8) whether the corporations are treated as independent profit centers, (9) the payment or guarantee of debts of the dominated corporation by other corporations in the group, and (10) whether the corporation in question had property that was used by other of the corporations as if it were its own.
Passalacqua, 933 F.2d at 139. There is "no set rule as to how many of these factors must be present in order to pierce the corporate veil, [but] the general principle followed by the courts has been that liability is imposed when doing so would achieve an equitable result." William Wrigley Jr. Co. v. Waters, 890 F.2d 594, 600-01 (2d Cir. 1989).
Here, as to many, if not all, of the factors, the record is replete with evidence that defendants and Olympia were inextricably intertwined entities and that, through their common owners, defendants completely dominated Olympia and used the corporate form to further personal rather than business ends. To begin with, there is no evidence to indicate that these entities abided by any of the corporate formalities associated with incorporation. As to Olympia, which acted as a mortgage lender and servicer for nearly 20 years, there is only a single record of a corporate meeting and no records indicating that its directors were ever formally elected. Apart from one corporate resolution, which granted a loan to defendants but did not contain any terms relating to interest, security, or repayment, none of the other financial transactions between Olympia and defendants are documented. There is also no evidence that Olympia even attempted to place a value on, or keep records of, the various administrative and personnel services it provided defendants.
The record also establishes that Olympia was an inadequately capitalized company. From 1998 until 2004, when it was placed under receivership, Olympia was insolvent and possessed a growing liability to its creditors that exceeded its cash, shareholders' equity, and net income. Yet despite its insolvency, Olympia funds were taken out of the corporation for the owners' personal purposes. Olympia's records indicate that the proceeds of the General Electric mortgage loan, the sum of which was wired to its corporate account, was not used for Olympia's purposes but to pay off the personal loans and expenses of its owners.
There is undisputed evidence in the record establishing that defendants and Olympia maintained an informal relationship in significant respects. At all times, defendants and Olympia shared office spaces, addresses, and telephone numbers. Mail for defendants was delivered in "care of" Olympia, and vendors handling construction and development of the Property sent proposals and invoices directly to Olympia. Olympia employees wrote letters on behalf of defendants on Olympia letterhead. In addition to the administrative overlap, defendants and Olympia were owned and directed by nearly the same group of people. Of the six owners of defendants, Leib Pinter was the only member who did not also possess ownership interest in Olympia. Barry Goldstein, Abe Donner, Fagie Pinter, Sam Pinter, and Shaindy Pinter were all owners of Olympia as well as of defendants. Before Sam Pinter assumed control of defendants in late 2004, Barry Goldstein acted as the President of 1716 Corporation, Managing Director of 1716 LLC, and the Vice President and Managing Director of Olympia.
Defendants' principals admitted during their depositions that the reason for an absence of corporate formalities between defendants and Olympia was this common ownership. Their testimony also corroborates other evidence in the record that defendants, through their common owners, were able to dominate Olympia to the extent that they stripped Olympia of any business discretion and caused it to enter into transactions that were neither arms-length nor profitable for the company. Despite its insolvency, Olympia advanced money for the Property, paid for other related expenses, and guaranteed defendants' construction and mortgage loans without providing for any terms relating to security, interest, or repayment. Barry Goldstein, who often directed and authorized Olympia to pay defendants' expenses, testified that these "loans" did not provide for repayment terms because "[t]he same people owned Olympia as owned the realty company . . . [and it] was almost like lending it from one place to the other to be paid back." An Olympia employee confirmed that Barry Goldstein would direct her to pay defendants' bills from Olympia's operation account because "[a]s far as [the owners] were concerned, [the Property] was an Olympia project", and since defendants and Olympia were under common ownership, "it did not matter which company paid the bills." Sam Pinter unequivocally testified that Olympia was "hijacked" by its owners and "used for their own purposes." He similarly testified on a later date that "[t]here was no benefit to Olympia from making these payments" to defendants but that "the benefit was to the owners of Olympia and 1716."
Taken together, the above evidence demonstrates that defendants dominated and controlled Olympia to use it for the personal purposes of their common owners. While defendants argue that "superficial indicia such as common offices and telephone numbers between corporate entities is not enough" to establish alter ego liability, they do not dispute the other pieces of evidence establishing the element of domination and control. Defendants' one submission, an affidavit from Sam Pinter, contains conclusory statements and no evidence that raises a genuine issue of material fact. For instance, Sam Pinter states that "1716 has been fairly run as a separate business from Olympia and is not in any way, shape or form the same as Olympia", and he attaches defendants' earliest bank statement, dated November 30, 2004, and several tenant leases, all but one of which were entered into during 2004 and 2005. At most, defendants' evidence establishes that, only since late 2004, defendants have abided by certain corporate formalities, such as maintaining bank accounts, paying the outstanding mortgage loan, and leasing other units to independent tenants. Indeed, defendants admit as much in their brief by arguing that "[c]learly since November 2004, 1716 has functioned as a viable business without any involvement by Olympia." Dfs. Mem. at 16. These recent changes implemented by defendants, however, do not contradict the evidence presented by the Receiver regarding the owners' domination and control over Olympia. Indeed, Sam Pinter's assertion of independence is belied by the fact that he himself identified the Property as an Olympia asset that could be liquidated to pay off certain debts he owed to an Olympia creditor. In a letter dated October 31, 2004 to Independence Community Bank, Sam Pinter "compiled a thorough list of assets that [Olympia] feel[s] can be liquidated in the next six to twelve months" and included "1716 Coney Island Avenue -- a six story office building" within that list.
B. Use of Domination to Perpetrate a Wrong
A showing of complete domination is the key to piercing the corporate veil, but such domination, standing alone, is not enough. New York law requires a showing that the owners, through their domination, abused the privilege of doing business in the corporate form to perpetrate a wrong or injustice against plaintiff, which resulted in plaintiff's injury. See Morris, 82 N.Y.2d at 141-42; Passalacqua, 933 F.2d at 137-39. A plaintiff may be considered injured when a company is rendered unable to pay the claims pending against it by third parties because of another company or individual's domination of the business. See, e.g., Austin Powder Co. v. McCullough, 216 A.D. 825, 827 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995).
As already discussed, the record is clear that defendants and Olympia were operated as one entity without regard for their separate corporate structures. Significant here, there is undisputed evidence that defendants siphoned off millions of dollars from Olympia during a time when the company was insolvent and faced increasing liability to its creditors. As a result, Olympia was not able to satisfy its debts. The Receiver, bringing suit on behalf of Olympia's creditors, has demonstrated sufficient injury resulting from defendants' domination of Olympia.
The ultimate question in piercing the corporate veil cases is whether "in light of the circumstances, the policy behind the presumption of corporate independence and limited shareholder liability-encouragement of business development-is outweighed by the policy justifying disregarding the corporate form-the need to protect those who deal with the corporation." Carte Blanche (Singapore) Pte., v. Diners Club Int'l, Inc., 2 F.3d 24, 26 (2d Cir. 1993) (internal quotation marks omitted). The totality of the circumstances, as supported by the record evidence, indicates that the harm suffered by Olympia's creditors was the result of the domination and control of Olympia by defendants' owners. Imposing liability here reaches an equitable result. See Brunswick Corp. v. Waxman, 599 F.2d 34, 36 (2d Cir. 1979). Defendants cannot now, after using the corporate form to further their personal ends, seek to use the same corporate form to avoid their obligations and protect their assets from Olympia's creditors.
III. Relief Requested
In Count I of her Amended Complaint, the Receiver requested the court enter a declaratory judgment that: (1) Olympia is the legal owner of all of defendant's assets, including the right, title, and interest to the property known as 1716 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11230 (the "Property"); (2) the Receivership extends to those assets formerly owned by defendants; (3) Olympia owes no past or future rent or other amounts to defendants in connection with its occupancy of the Property; and (4) defendants and all other persons claiming interest thereunder are barred from all claims to legal estate or interest in the premises and Olympia is entitled to sole and complete possession of the premises as the legal and equitable owner. Am. Compl. ¶ 34. In the Receiver's motion for summary judgment, she requests the same relief and argues that it ought to be granted for equitable reasons. Specifically, the Receiver argues that defendants' assets should be applied to compensating Olympia's outstanding creditors rather than benefitting the same owners who caused defendants to dominate Olympia for their personal benefit and that alternative remedies, such as claims for moneys had and received or unjust enrichment, will be inadequate and necessarily involve "guesswork" given the lack of recordkeeping regarding the resources and services provided to defendants by Olympia. See Pl.'s Mem. at 16-17, 19. Although defendants argue that the court should not pierce the corporate veil, they fail to respond to the form of the declaratory judgment sought. Given the absence of an opposition to the Receiver's requested form of declaratory judgment and, upon the court's own review of the record evidence, the court finds that the declaratory relief requested by the Receiver is appropriate.
Because there is no issue of material fact with regard to whether defendants dominated and controlled Olympia to commit a wrong against plaintiff, the Receiver's motion for summary judgment to pierce defendants' corporate veil is granted.Accordingly, the Receiver's alternative request for partial summary judgment on her claim for moneys had and received is dismissed as moot, and defendants' motion for summary judgment for rent due and owing is denied. Defendants' request for consolidation of this action with Fannie Mae v. Olympia in the event trial is necessary is also denied.
The Clerk of Court is directed to enter a declaratory judgment for plaintiff that provides that: (1) Olympia Mortgage Corporation ("Olympia") is the legal owner of all of the assets belonging to 1716 Realty Corporation and 1716 Realty LLC, including the right, title, and interest to the property known as 1716 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11230 (the "Property"); (2) the Receivership, as ordered by the Court on November 23, 2004 in Federal Nat'l Mortgage Ass'n v. Olympia Mortgage Corp., No. 04-4971 (E.D.N.Y. filed Nov. 16, 2004), extends to those assets formerly owned by defendants; (3) Olympia owes no past or future rent or other amounts to defendants in connection with its occupancy of the Property; and (4) 1716 Realty Corporation, 1716 Realty LLC, and all other persons claiming interest thereunder are barred from all claims to legal estate or interest in the Property and Olympia is entitled to sole and complete possession of the Property as the legal and equitable owner.

Jews Speak the TRUTH About The Holocaust.
Poster Handle
Post Content
I think what happened was the Germans did with the Jews the same thing the Americans did with the Japanese.
The only difference is the Germans lost.
If you look at the piles of dead folk in all of those pictures, they're all emaciated. Starved, sick, whatever. If you're gassed as soon as you step off of the train (which "they" said occured) you don't abruptly starve to death.
When Germany was losing the war, food and medicine was scarce...And in those last days, I am sure many prisoners the Germans had taken, as well as the jews in the camps, didn't get all the medical attention they needed and died, or didn't get the food required and starved. If the US lost, our camps with the Japanese may have looked very similar. When there isn't enough food for even a quarter of your soldiers to have a meal, and there isn't enough medicine to treat combat troops, POWs aren't given priority when it comes to rationing those things.
Also, people don't realize just how nasty war is. Those emaciated prisoners...That's not unique to Nazi Germany. Look at POWs from any war, any country, and you'd swear it was from the "Holocaust". Look up pictures of Andersonville prison from the Civil War. Many of the infamous pictures of "Holocaust" bodies are indeed POWs and not innocent Jewish civilians.
So, many of the pictures show legitimate POWs, and it's pretty clear they weren't executed, and there are similar examples of emaciated prisoners coming from many countries and any war you can think of. That's certainly doesn't make what happened to all those poor people any less horrible, but it wasn't a deliberate genocide against people of the jewish faith.
People like to think that those horrible pictures they saw of the "Holocaust" are the result of a particularly evil people during a particularly evil period, something that never happened before and never happened since, but it's just not true. That happens in war, every war. That kind of thing isn't unique, and it's that troubling fact people don't want to accept.
This is of course, just how I see it. I wasn't there, nor were you, so we don't really know for sure what went down.
Please verify you're human:

The Not-So-Anonymous InternetMonday, August 01, 2011
Rule of thumb: if you post something online, assume anyone can find and read it. Your boss, your clients, your mother, your mother-in-law, your siblings, your boyfriend from five boyfriends ago.
Emails and Twitter DM's get forwarded. Facebook updates and private forum posts get copied and pasted and then forwarded. Your blog gets read by strangers in remote parts of the world.
The fact of the matter is that six degrees of separation is real. Somebody somewhere will always be randomly connected to one of your connections. It's easy to get comfortable when using the web or social media and slip into a mode of assuming that the only people reading your blog posts or updates are the ones you see commenting or following you. This couldn't be further from the truth.
You may be venting about a situation to what you think is a limited group of people, but in the end it could cause irreparable damage to a relationship. Some things are better shared over cocktails or coffee, not online. It is possible to be both transparent and maintain appropriate boundaries. Guard your relationships; they are what matter in the end, both in business and in life.

After EU Audit, Corruption Could Become an Expensive Problem for Ramallah
(JTA) — When Israeli police found thousands of contraband cell phones in the car of senior Palestinian Authority (PA) official Rawhi Fattouh, he was promptly removed from office — for about two months.
A consultant to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Fattouh was reinstated in May 2008 after his driver, a state employee, confessed to the smuggling, which Israeli border police discovered when searching Fattouh's car at a border crossing between Jordan and the West Bank.
The scandal drew international media attention, but by 2011, the case had been closed. PA prosecutor Ahmed al-Moghani said his office had no information implicating Fattouh.
Still, critics say, the scandal and others like it are part of a lingering corruption problem that has plagued the Palestinian Authority since it was formed under Yasser Arafat following the signing of the 1993 Oslo Accords.
Long ignored internationally in favor of more urgent business, the problem is now prompting an unprecedented degree of scrutiny from the European Union, the largest donor to the Palestinian Authority. Since 1994, $7.7 billion in EU funds have been transferred to Ramallah.
In December, the European Court of Auditors reported that the Palestinian Authority had been using European money for years to pay Gaza workers, some of whom had not actually worked in seven years. PA Labor Minister Ahmed Majdalani defended the payments, saying the employees had families to support and couldn't just be cut off, but the European Parliament took a less sanguine view.
Last month, it adopted a nonbinding resolution saying that payroll problems raise concerns about money laundering and terrorist financing.
It noted the Palestinian Authority's controversial salary payments to the families of terrorists serving time in Israeli jails. In an unprecedented move, the parliament also called for future EU funding to be conditioned on Palestinian compliance with reform recommendations.
"Until now, EU aid was unconditional," said Guy Bechor, an Israeli expert on the Arab world and a former lecturer at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya. "Now, for the first time, we are seeing serious moves for conditionality and transparency."
Some analysts connect Europe's sudden vigilance to anger over the recent collapse of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The EU's ambassador to Israel, Lars Faaborg-Andersen, warned in January there would be "a price to pay" by both sides if the talks failed.
Others trace it to frustration over Ramallah's spending habits and a general donor fatigue in Europe, where high unemployment rates and sluggish economic growth have led to belt-tightening across the continent.
"How can the European Union preserve its credibility back home when it pays salaries to people who don't work, while millions of European citizens are unemployed?" Michael Theurer, chairman of the European Parliament's Committee on Budgetary Control, wrote in The Wall Street Journal on April 9.
In his op-ed, Theurer linked the Palestinian Authority's accountability problems to success of Hamas, the governing power in Gaza regarded as a terrorist group by the United States and Europe.
"The more the Palestinian Authority is perceived as corrupt by the Palestinian people, the greater their support will be for Hamas," he wrote. "Thus, to promote peace and stability, Brussels must help the Palestinian Authority build strong and transparent institutions." The reference to Hamas touches on yet another potential complication for EU funding. Last month, Hamas signed a reconciliation agreement with the Fatah movement of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
An EU-funded Palestinian Authority government with Hamas aboard "would not only mean EU funds for terrorists but would conflict with the two-state solution, which is the very declared goal of the funding in the first place," said Arie Zuckerman of the European Jewish Congress.Cnaan Liphshiz / JTA

That means web sites that stream lots of digital movies and TV shows like Netflix, Amazon and Hulu may face substantial fees for their Internet service in the near future, experts say.

Citigroup Smith Barney cuts 50 US stocks
Citigroup Smith Barney, the independent equity research arm of Citigroup, is understood to have ceased coverage of more than 50 US stocks after firing at least half a dozen analysts in its New York office last week.
A spokeswoman for Citigroup Smith Barney could not be reached to comment on the departures, which are understood to affect the airlines, leisure, packaging and containers, gas utilities, semi-conductor equipment and supply chain analysis sectors.
The cuts are in addition to the 1,000 redundancies expected as part of a forthcoming restructuring of Citigroup's corporate and investment banking business to be detailed in the next fortnight. Dozens of analysts at Citigroup Smith Barney are facing the axe.
The equity research cull comes as Sallie Krawcheck, new chief financial officer of Citigroup, admitted in a conference call for fixed income investors last Friday that the bank's controversial eurozone government bond trades last summer may have cost it business.
Bloomberg reported Krawcheck as saying Citigroup's business in Europe in the fourth quarter of 2004 was "not as strong as we would have hoped...some part of it may have been from folks not doing as much business with us."
Financial News revealed a week ago that since the bond trades last August, Citigroup had fallen from third to 28th in a league table of eurozone government bond underwriters compiled for Financial News by Dealogic, the investment banking data provider.

I do not write a great deal of reviews. However, I had to write this one in hopes of preventing someone from wasting their money. I purchased these in yellow. While carrying them to the laundry room, they got all over me before reaching the washing machine. I'd hoped that this problem would be resolved after washing and drying. To my surprise, the problem worsened. You'd need an additional bath and a new set of towels to remove all of this towel off of your body. They are not worth me putting forth the effort to send them back. They will decorate my closet only. I am almost at a loss for words that a company could manufacture a product of such poor quality. I really don't like wasting money and these towels are a total waste of money. Believe this review, I come in total truth.Read More

The color is gold but has an orangey cast to it. The jacquard is only on one side, the reverse is just plain loop, and not that good. The wash cloth is actually a finger tip towel and is listed as such on the package. The hand towel is too large and doesn't fit well on an average towel bar. I am returning these. Very disappointed. Don't think they are worth the money.Read More
The towel is smaller than a normal bath towel but still works as well. I like the 2 different textures on each side of the towel. I have washed them several times and they are holding up well and the look great. Remember this is a towel set, I actually thought I was getting 6 towels but you get 2 towels, 2 hand towels, 2 wash clothes.Read More
These towels sort of shriveled up when washed. Therefore they are not as attractive after being washed, and I use them in the guest bathroom where my hope was that they would be stunning. Maybe that is what this type of towel does. I have never used Egyptian before. They are a pretty color though so I will use them.Read More

IP&TV News gets the lowdown on the vibrant state of Chilean connected entertainment and pay-TV from Gonzalo Dona, CEO, Stel Chile.
IP&TV News: Hi Gonzalo. Pay-TV in Chile really seems to have exploded in this last year. What are the reasons for this?
Gonzalo Doña: There are mainly two reasons. The first is the increase in coverage and competition. The most important factor that explains pay-TV growth is the entrance of new satellite operators. Players like Entel, Claro, Telefonica, and TuVes are now competing with VTR, the largest Cable TV operator, and Directv, the first satellite operator. Claro also offers Cable TV services. Then we have much more coverage and competition than a few years back.
The other is the reduction of piracy in 2012. The pay-TV industry got stuck in 2012 due to the high level of piracy with massive selling of open STBs. All players reacted to this and dramatically achieved a reduction of piracy levels by the end of 2012, allowing the industry to show that explosive growth rate in 2013.
Are telcos well positioned to take advantage of this?
It is not clear that telcos are well positioned to take advantage of the current market growth.
Pay-TV players (Cable and Satellite) are reacting to the OTT pay-TV service, especially Netflix, responding with better and more aggressive bundled offers. By the end of 2013 some of them offered Internet TV services, such as Claro Video and Movistar Play. This move is more an immediate reaction to the threat of connected entertainment players than a decision to drive innovation in this space.
Additionally, HBO and MovieCity initiated the provision of OTT services with HBO GO and MovieCity Play, that for the moment apply only to current Cable/Satellite customers.
There are many threats coming from connected entertainment that will affect both the TV and the Internet Service businesses of current pay-TV players.
What is the demand like for connected entertainment in the Chilean market?
Connected entertainment is clearly growing. At the very least it has the sympathy of customers that are looking for more diverse and complete content, and the possibility to watch what they want at any moment, on any device. On-demand content includes information from different sources, properly sorted and displayed: movies (not only the most recent ones), sports, content for children, documentaries, customized information channels, etc.
Worldwide there are new providers similar to Netflix, but with a different focus on content. Claro Video, Movistar Play, HBO Go and MovieCity Play launched in 2013, are a good example of this. In Chile, VTR is working to launch a similar service; in fact they own a company called Bazuca that has been providing this kind of services for several year. There are also other small providers like Kanguroo, launched last summer.
What factors distinguish Chile from other LATAM markets?
Chile is an open market with a high level of competition and a good enough level of regulation in the telecommunication industry.
In addition to the above, the correct handling of the Chilean economy has permitted telecommunication companies to innovate and grow.
This growth is also displayed in the Broadband Internet Services, and this will help Internet TV Services to develop faster. I expect Chile to probably show a faster growth on this service in comparison to the rest of the region.
In terms of the evolution and diversification of telcos (and excluding Stel Chile just for the moment), what are the most exciting stories in the LATAM market at present?
Telcos that provide pay-TV services using Cable or Satellite technologies delayed their entrance to connected entertainment services because it could cannibalize their current business. However, new participants in the telecom industry that wants to provide TV services are completely open to the idea and are pushing for the use of Internet-TV services.
Clearly Netflix has opened the door to connected entertainment with good content, good quality, and good user interface solutions. Telcos are now responding with their own kinds of "Netflix" services. They are really reacting not leading the evolution.
I think the TV industry is in a transition from the old pay-TV services to the new connected entertainment services, but it is not clear how the business case behind it will evolve.
And what kind of innovations has Stel Chile introduced in terms of connected entertainment, and what kind of response have these innovations received?
Stel has been focused primarily in the Broadband Internet Services and now is planning the second step to include TV for its customers. In this initial phase we are moving to have two complementary kinds of TV services. The first one includes an alliance with a pay-TV operator to offer bundled services. The second one considers an OTT complementary offer with specific niche content.
You'll be appearing at TV Connect LATAM this year. What is the main appeal of attending an event like this for an operator?
It is an event that provides operators with a big picture perspective of the industry and its major trends, where the industry is heading: what are the relevant topics, realise how trends are changing, and how they can affect the strategic plan to innovate and drive growth.
The event also gives the operators the opportunity to get in contact with others' realities at different levels of development and to be exposed to distinct approaches to business, including the chance to engage in alliances or partnerships.
Gonzalo Dona will be appearing at Broadband and TV Connect Latin America 2014

Motorola - A Google Company
Save because it's summer
June 4-5
A no-contract, 32GB Moto X is $100 off for two days only starting Wednesday, June 4, at 12 a.m. ET.
I'd like the additional storage but I think I'm going to wait for the X+1 to get it. That or get the One E8 and an SD card...
But for someone waiting for the Moto G 4G LTE (8GB) to ship this week, it is a no brainer to switch to the Moto X, right? OK so it is $80 more.... but it is worth the price difference?
"Worth it" is a personal decision that depends on what you value in a phone (and what you can afford). I use my phone every single day, so for me, I think it is worth every penny of the $80 to have the nicer device. That said, the Moto G is a great deal and the two phones share similar performance specs. Some of the big differences will be 32GB vs 8GB of storage, a better camera on the Moto X, and niceties like the Active Display and Touchless Control on the Moto X. A slightly larger screen in similar form-factor is also a plus in my book for the Moto X. Plus the ability to customize your own phone (colors, wood, etc) is pretty compelling for a lot of people.
So, worth an extra $80? Depends. For me I would say yes. But for someone who just wants the most phone for the dollar and doesn't care about the differences above, then the Moto G might be your pick...
I just bought another used mint Moto X for $335 and this sale got announced the next day.
Overall it will last longer than the Moto G in the long run, except for storage space maybe. I can see the phone being very usable even 2 years from now.
Thanks for posting this OP.
Bought my 32GB Moto X on Monday. Hopefully they'll match the offer.
When I tried to place an order for the 32GB Moto X at checkout it shows the $399.99 price before the $100 discount. Even though I'm selecting No contract the site forces me to select a carrier and they are all priced at $449.99 except for Republic. Why are they charging an extra $50 for a no contract GSM unlocked phone? Next photo shows what happens when I select the GSM unlocked option.
I'll hit up chat tomorrow but thought maybe there was a quick fix so I can complete my order tonight.
Update: The only Moto X you can get for $299.99 is the CDMA Republic branded phone locked to that network. Wow lame move, Motorola.
cnet does a good job of explaining today's "summer sale":
However, there is some confusion regarding your final price tag. When you select the 32GB Moto X via the customization process, Motorola shows the full retail price as $400 ($399.99 specifically). That means your final price with the sale should be $299.99. But when you're prompted to choose your carrier, the site lists the full price as $449.99 with all but Republic Wireless. Even the unlocked GSM variant takes on the $449.99 price. So that means in all but one case, your sale price upon checkout actually shows up as $349.99.
A Motorola spokeswoman told CNET that the initial page lists the starting price for the Moto X, namely $399.99. But the carrier list shows the actual prices. In the end, the $299.99 sale price is good only for Republic Wireless subscribers. Those of you who purchase the phone for other carriers or buy the unlocked GSM model would pay $349.99 over the two-day sale.
Motorola should certainly make the pricing clearer right from the start so as to avoid any final sticker shock.
