Chapter Twenty-Eight: History
Rebbeca and I had spent the whole day browsing amongst the shoppers before Christmas Eve made its arrival. On our arrival at the hotel room we found that it was still vacant of Jonathon's presence and decided to go on to supper without him at Olive Garden, enjoying an environment away from the hotel and one where being loud was welcome. No amount of noise gained us any complaints or rude stares, and the six of us enjoyed eating until we were so full, moving seemed the least likely option.
"Well this feels just like the old days. Except back then our parents drove us everywhere." Natalie snorted, finishing off the last of her tiramisu. If she was pregnant, tonight it was impossible to tell compared to all the food the rest of us had eaten.
"I'd say. I do not miss having Jay's parents force Molly upon us every time we wanted to go out to a movie or something." Rebecca grinned, downing the rest of her raspberry lemonade.
"Or, having Olivia's mom glare at us each time we came through her front door laughing and actually enjoying ourselves." Nate grinned towards me.
"Hey! She just really liked her peace and quiet, it wasn't easy having a teenage daughter who had one too many male friends." The tension in my body had evaporated and everything back home seemed a little less important.
"Maybe because she had one male friend who made a little too much noise, perhaps?" Jay sneered.
"Bugger off." Aly slapped him.
"Oh no." Rebecca looked down at the watch on her wrist, her mouth moving silently as she cursed. "I have to get home Olivia, I have to leave for a gathering in Kelowna tomorrow so we're leaving really early. Sorry guys."
"It's no problem Becks. The rest of us have places to be tomorrow too." Nate shrugged and pushed Aly out of the booth and the rest of us followed.
The ride home with Rebecca was just as lively and entertaining as the trip to the mall had been. She left me at the front door to the hotel, giving me a hug and then driving off as I made my way through the lobby and back up to my room. I slipped through the door, half expecting it to be as empty as it had been when I left that afternoon. I had expected wrong for Jonathon was perched on the couch, lounging about and watching something quietly on TV. He barely even flinched as I came through the door, smiling and humming the song that had last been played on the radio in Rebecca's car.
"Just in time for bed." Jonathon muttered.
"Not quite." I plopped down on the couch next to him, folding myself against his side and let my head rest on his shoulder. Any thought of beating the hell out of him had lost my interest, and now all I cared about was enjoying our final evening of freedom together. His arm folded around my side pulling me closer to him and he kissed the top of my head, far too affectionate for me.
"Oh really?" He smirked as I glanced up at him with a daring expression.
"Yes, we have to go back to Morden tomorrow to all the stares and questioning glances and I would much rather spend the last night away from my Mother enjoying myself." I let my open palm rest against his cheek and pulled his face to mine, opening his lips when mine touched his. The fire exploded from within him and filled me with the same excited energy his touched always did. I pulled myself in to his lap and pressed my body against his harder, being in control felt better than lying below him letting him have his way.
He pulled a way for a moment with a bewildered look on his face, running his hands through my hair softly. "No further than this." Jonathon said breathlessly.
"What?" Now I was in shock, my mind scanning everything I had just done.
"I lost control before. Did you not feel it? Like you had no way to move your body?" Jonathon held my face softly.
So that's what that was, it wasn't me after all. Go figure. "I don't care." I pulled his hands from my face and caught up his lips in mine before he could fight me anymore. I wouldn't let him control my body again. I could be and was stronger than everyone I knew and nothing would stop me from proving that.
"You should." He laughed between kisses.
"I'm stronger than I look, remember?" I snorted and pressed my body harder against his, forcing his hands down my back.
In a single motion he was on his back, lying on the couch as I straddled his stomach. It was a strange feeling to feel his hard muscles below me instead of weighing on top of me. His hands rest on my hips while his head was propped up on the armrest and I lowered my lips to his neck and over his collarbone, as my fingers slid up under the light fabric of his shirt. Control. This is new territory. It felt amazing, having the heat warm me from the inside out rather than the other way around. My body welcomed the change, even when Jonathon moved us both in to the bedroom to escape our neighbors from further noise complaints.
The next morning came too quickly, too rushed and unsatisfying. Jonathon was still fast asleep next to me as I got up and showered and began packing up all my belongings. I ordered breakfast and tidied up the hotel room so that there wouldn't be any surprises on the bill when my Mother received it. A slight amount of guilt slid over me as I imagined what my Mother would think of what had transpired the other night. I was so lost in my own thoughts that I never even heard Jonathon sneak up behind me until his arms wound around my waist.
"Oh good, I see my maid service came early." The breath of his voice shifted the hair around my ear, tickling me.
"Mai oui." I turned towards him and kissed him softly. "Now hop in the shower. Breakfast is on its way and we have to leave to catch our flight in two hours."
"Plenty of time." His lips pressed against the hollow of my neck, but no heat permeated the skin there, it was just a normal kiss. I shivered.
"Not really. Go shower, I'm serious. I do not want to be late for our flight or my Mother will kill us both, simply with her scariest look. It's Christmas Eve and the least you could do for me, is bend to my every will." I pushed him towards the bedroom, patting his butt a little as I went in to the other half-bath and rummaged through the little soaps for something to take home with me.
Breakfast arrived in due time just as Jonathon finished packing up his clothes, his hair was already dry and caught in little waves around his ears. We sat on the couch and ate quickly so we would have enough time to return our rented car and still make our flight. His knees bumped against my thighs a few times while we sat there and I took it as his way of flirting without saying anything. We grabbed our bags and coats before dashing downstairs to check out with Rebecca's very charming love interest. I will have to make a point of e-mailing her more once we get home.
The ride was filled with the sound of the radio buzzing in the air; it was a comfortable silence to the airport. We returned the car and checked our bags before waiting in the line of other passengers boarding the same flight as the two of us. It only took us a moment to find our seats and Jonathon put my carry-on bag up above for me. There were days when, no matter how good my Hunter bloodline was, being short was still a huge handicap. I plunked down in my seat and buckled myself in while Jonathon did the same, casting a weary glance at the other passengers.
"You realize," he began, leaning in closer to me to keep our conversation private, "that if this plane crashed, you and I would likely be the only two to survive."
I shot him a look of slight amusement and a little horror. "Those aren't great odds."
"To me, they sound pretty good. There's a baby in a seat three rows up, and I for one can't really stand listening to those dreadful things cry."
"Things? It's a baby, Jonathon. They cry because they can't tell you what they need."
"Demon younglings can talk from day one." Jonathon tapped his temple and winked.
I shivered. "That is so beyond creepy and you really have no idea."
Jonathon smirked before running a too-warm hand through my hair and turned my face back to look at me. He kissed my forehead and yet there was no warmth flooding across my skin like before, it was just hit lips on my skin. It felt too intimate for being on a plane even if it only lasted but a moment. I closed my eyes and leaned against him, letting what little exhaustion that still clung to my bones slip me under the velvet cover. Sleep was easier than watching the ground vanish as the plane ascended in to the air, it was even better than waiting for it to land.
By the time I had opened my eyes again, Jonathon was removing my seatbelt and hand my carry-on bag clutched to his chest. I stirred enough that the movement caught his attention and his hand shot out instinctively to help me out of my seat. I took it willingly, still a little groggy from my nap, and not entirely certain where I was at the moment. He pulled me tight to his side and slid his arm around my waist as we maneuvered down the aisle with the other patrons. With each step I came to a little more, away that it was snowing incredibly hard outside of the airport, and that our bags were the first on the conveyer. Jonathon caught them up and together we pulled them along behind us as we made our way to the parking garage.
"I slept the whole way, hm?" I let my shoulder bump against his arm playfully.
"Sure did. I actually started wondering if you had slipped something in your o.j. this morning before we left. You didn't, did you?"
I shook my head, red curls bouncing over my shoulders and falling in to my face. "No. I guess I didn't get a lot of sleep last night."
A low rumble of laughter escaped Jonathon's throat as he hit the unlock button for his car. The trunk popped open and he hoisted our luggage in to the open, empty space. "I guess you should've gone to bed at a decent time last night, hm?"
I laughed and tucked a curl behind my ear as I walked around the side of his car and let myself fall in to the passenger seat. The engine started with a soft purr as Jonathon let himself sink in to his own seat, his body slumped upright in it. The tires squealed a little as he pulled out of his parking spot and through the garage and then out in to a blizzard. It was pure white everywhere as heavy snow dropped from the sky in heaves and landing as softly as it could on the hood of the car.
"Good thing I'm a demon and have an excellent sense of direction, right?" Jonathon pulled out on to the road outside the airport and we traveled on streets fill with cars and plows as they tried to get through the Christmas Eve snowfall.
"I actually think I'll go back to sleep because having to drive through this, not really being able to see where we're going, well I will more than likely drive you bat-shit crazy." My head thumped against the headrest.
"Don't sleep. I need some conversation for an hour at least, and I think it was extremely rude of you to fall asleep on the plane ride. I had to listen to that baby cry for at least an hour."
I rolled my eyes and took a deep breath. "Fine. I will stay awake out of courtesy but there better be good conversation at least."
"I promise to talk about something other than the snow and the roads." Jonathon laughed.
"How about some Hunter history, or demonology? I could really use the help with some of those subjects." I pulled my bag in to my lap from the backseat and rummaged through it for a pad of paper and at least one working pen.
"Alright. What would you like to know first?"
"Just give me a second." I dug to the bottom of my purse and found a black pen that worked. "First off. Do you know how the first Hunters came to be? No one has really explained that much to me."
Jonathon sighed. "That really isn't my strong spot, but I can tell you what I know at the very least. First off: there were no Hunters amongst the first mortals but there were demons and the fey and what the mundanes call …angels."
My pen stopped dead on the paper. "Angels? Angels exist? Why has no one ever told me that?"
"It is believed that they exist, only Gaia and the original Hunters have ever actually ever met one." Jonathon snorted.
"I knew that was coming." His grip seemed to tighten around his steering wheel. "Gaia … Earth. Haven't you ever picked up a Greek mythology textbook?"
"Sure. She was one of the first, otherwise none of us would be here right now. She gave birth to the Titans, the mountains and what not."
"Exactly. Anyway, the mortals were born from Earth because they were made out of clay and the Gods breathed life into them. Gaia's mortals took a turn for the worst, there was raping and stealing, murdering and all sort of horrible crimes. As you know, my kind – demons – were born out of all that hatred and continued murdering and raping the humans without any type of consequence but with all her children's blood that had been spilled over, it gave her the power to create herself a human form. Alone, she wasn't strong enough to stop all the demons and there was so much evil that she could take down one but there were twenty more in its place." Jonathon's turned on the car's blinker while the car slowed a little.
"She prayed and begged and pleaded for someone to help her, but none of the Gods were interested in helping her with the mortals – or maybe they never truly existed – but she continued asking. One day, a creature with wings that spread as far as the branches of a great oak came to her. The creature – presumably an angel – made her a deal, that he would mix his blood and tears with those of hers and she would create new children, children that would be strong enough to defeat the demons. He warned her however, that these children would be bathed in blood on a daily basis and would never be able to resist the temptation to be evil.
"Gaia took his deal and created five-hundred new children, and that was all she was granted. They were strong, intelligent, fast and lived longer than most of her humans did, but they were more than just defective. Hunters are unable to produce more than one child, although there have been some rare cases of twins amongst the Society. The creature warned Gaia that unless the – Hunters – mated with one another their bloodlines would be tainted and would fade over time, leaving her mortals without protection from the demons.
"It didn't seem like a big deal back then because it seemed that they were doing their job and knocking down the demons in swells, but not even a century later the demons attacked and destroyed half the Hunter ranks -"
"Stop. I don't want to know that." I shook my head as the grip on my pen tightened and I chose to look out the window into the swirling snow.
"It's part of your history, Olivia. I thought you wanted to know more?" The car sped up a little after he turned once more and it was obvious that we had been driving much quicker than it seemed.
"So this … creature. She thought it was an angel?"
"No. Gaia thought he was evil, a demon of a different nature, and yet she still took his deal. Later on as the Hunters assimilated with Christian beliefs they took on the idea of this creature being an angel. There was never any proof and for all any of us know, he was a very strong solitary fey."
"What are fey? There is so much lore on them, it makes my head hurt trying to figure it all out."
"Fey are a mixture of evil and good, I guess this is also where the angels come in. Fey are believed to be a mixture of angel and demon blood, a mixture of beauty and elegance and trickery and evil. Honestly, only the first fey know that answer, and unless you would like to ask the Unseelie Queen about it to her face, it is just best to leave it be." He glanced over at me with a cheery smile.
"I think I can manage that." I sighed again, bored of looking out in to the snow as we drove. "Angels, hm? What makes Gabriel so important?" I let my eyes drift back to him.
"Diedre – your Grandmother – trapped an 'angel' and bore his son."
"Calm down. It's just a story, no one besides the demons know that it is actually true. While she was young she foresaw that the creatures would return and where they would be, but she kept it a secret or something." Jonathon quieted. "This is a story only demons know, so you can't go spouting it off to Alex, okay?"
I nodded hastily.
"She found them on the crags as they bathed in the moonlight and while they began to leave she managed to capture one. A male." He gave me a sideways glance to see if I was following, and so far I was. "She trapped him in a prison beneath the Hunter's fortress and tortured him to comply with her demands. After twenty years of being imprisoned he finally agreed, on one term – that she destroyed him when it was over. Diedre agreed and he gave her a son that had pure angel blood coursing through his veins and his Mother gifts but none of her appearance. It is said that she did destroy him, others believe that he's still down in that prison. By the way," Jonathon's voice was nervous, "she died giving birth to Gabriel. It was a curse the angel had placed upon her on the condition of giving her a child."
"How awful."
"She deserved it." Jonathon snarled.
"I wasn't talking about her, I was talking about the fact that Gabriel grew up without any parents."
He relaxed a little and the car slowed as the snow lifted once they passed the sign that signaled they were moments from Morden. "It must have sucked, but he is the strongest of all the Hunters and you, Olivia, are his daughter." His hand wrapped around mine and he lifted it to his lips and pressed them to the back of my hand. "And I have the supreme pleasure of having had you all to myself for this past little while. Merry Christmas Olivia."
I felt my cheeks burn as they turned crimson and I leaned towards him and kissed his cheek. "That may be the sweetest thing anyone has every said to me, and it's breaking my heart a little bit."
"Why is that?" He squeezed my hand tighter.
I was about to tell him that the thing between us was a fling, something that would only last up until the point where I went to Ireland and chose to never return. It was a bad idea to destroy the moment so I clamped my lips together as we pulled in to Morden and drove down my street. We pulled in to my driveway which just so happened to be the least festive house on the block, but Marley still came flying out of the house towards the car.
I pulled myself out of my seat into the light snow as Marley wound her arms around me, kissing my forehead over and over again as he embraced me. I blushed with embarrassment but allowed her, her Motherly kisses and hug as she held me so tightly I thought my eyes might pop out of my head.
"Merry Christmas my little girl." Marley beamed.
"Merry Christmas, Mom." I hugged her back as Jonathon unloaded our luggage and walked us inside. I should go away more often.

Baker & McKenzie has overhauled its global remuneration system, rewarding partners who focus on major international clients with an additional slug of money.
The firm has introduced more credit for partners who perform well on client management, one of the global firm's core areas of focus.
That focus was underlined earlier this year by chairman Eduardo Leite who, in an interview with The Lawyer, said that "being a client-centric firm is our top strategic priority".
Bakers has now decided to back that with cash for partners who do a good job looking after clients.
"Clients are globalising and you need to be very focused on managing them well," said Bakers' London managing partner Gary Senior. "We're responding to that with a marginal, incremental increase in the weighting of remuneration allocated to partners who do a particularly good job with client management."
Senior downplayed the change as a "tweak", describing it as part of a trend stretching back more than a decade.
"Our global remuneration system has evolved over years and changes don't tend to be revolutionary," he said. "The trend at the firm has been towards more integration and one of the obvious things to gather around is clients."
The changes to Bakers' remuneration system coincide with the ending of the firm's financial year on 30 June. Bakers' 2010-11 results are not yet available but London profitability is expected to show a slight decline compared with last year's £650,000.

When Worlds Collide
Alien life forms that think earth is a threat because of all the pollution and waste.
People were screaming, buildings were tipping, the ground was crumbling and I stood there in the moment of confusion and fright. I knew this was coming we had angered them and I had warned the people this would happen, but no, I was written off as the psycho.Normaly I would have basked in glory and rubbed it in the presidents' face but there was no time, the world I knew was being slowly destroyed. I started to run. There was only one person that was going to be able to help. Running while the ground was split wasnt such a brilliant idea, I was falling all over the place, but time was short there was no time to worry about bloody hands and knees.
I reach my destination about five blocks from where I was origanly standing. I catch my breath for a moment and take back off. It surprised me that this building was even still standing it was shakey when the world wasnt being attempted to be destroyed. "Room 13" I repeated over and over again to myself. Which this is where his invention making place was. When I reached the bleeched white door I let myself in to see a tall man with brown short hair and thick glasses working on one of his latest inventions, it seemed to be a oven, toaster, and microwave all together but she had known him longer to know that this was untrue.
"Ah Jane I have been expecting you although you look different" the man said while jesturing to her hair.
"Indeed you have Arthur and I got a hair cut but no time for talk you understand what is happening now dont you?"
"Absolutly, just as we prodicted how could I forget that day it is when I made my first working machine, the fortune teller. 'Beware in the future for harm will come shortly signs shall be shown but nobody will believe, the strange life forms will come and destroy even the most innocent of human beings.' I remember the exact words by heart, luckily you and me took it seriously or we wouldnt have been expecting this."
"I have to know though is the machine complete?" Jane askes questioning his poor skill to invent.
"Amazingly, yes I have" he states proudly.
"You did! You completed it, then we can go back and stop this from happening we can stop using gas cars and start using electric, we can cut plastic bag usage, we can stop being waistful which is why those things that are attacking us dont have to destroy the world we can stop earth from messing up the solar system!"
"Yes, yes but we still need to set what date where we can go and not end up stuck inbetween times we need to plan this caref-" but just then there was a loud crack and the roof of his apartment flew off and fell crushing the helpless bystanders.
"Just do what you have to do and lets go!" Jane cried. "People are dying by the dozen." Jus then a tornado touched down on the ground sucking everybody in. Jane felt the pull but wasn't being completly sucked in.
"All right we will go back to about 6 months that should be about enough time to clean the planet." He said to himself hoping to believe his own words.
"Well it had better work"Jane stated plainly
"Right, well, put on this helmet" he said tossing her a red helmet "lets go". Jane puts on her helmet grabs her belongings to get prepaired for the journey. Arthur heads over to a machine that looks like a a giant washing machine, he hits buttons on the control panel and takes a step back. The light was unexpected nearly making me blind but the machine was working and that is all that mattered. "I'll jump in first" he screams over the loud roars coming from the machine. "See you on the other side" and he dives into the object disapearing in an instant.
" Okay here goes" she says to comfort herself "here's to being the first women to travel throught time" and jumpes in.

"We conducted this survey because we've been receiving more inquires for home insurance by those living with roommates," states Daniel Mirkovic, Square One's President. "We wanted to understand what was driving this trend."
While there are many reasons why renters choose to have roommates, the top reasons for those surveyed were:
According to Statistics Canada, residential property values across the country increased by 11% in 2016. While increased property values build equity for homeowners, they make it even harder for first-time buyers to enter the real estate market. This, in turn, causes more pressure on the already tight rental market. In fact, the average cost to rent a two-bedroom apartment continues to rise every year across Canada.
"With the high cost of rent, it makes sense that most renters have roommates for financial reasons," states Daniel Mirkovic, Square One's President. "However, it is surprising how many renters (and their roommates) go without home insurance given the increased risks faced when living with unrelated persons."
Square One's survey found that renters in British Columbia are the least likely to have home insurance whereas those in Alberta are the most likely.
Based on Square One's experience, renters have three common misconceptions about home insurance:
Square One has created an online resource centre for tenants. It offers tips to Canadians on how to find the perfect roommate, structure a lease, and prepare a roommate agreement.

I happen to know quite a bit about this because I had lunch recently with Hillary Rodham Clinton, although she was probably unaware of this fact, because the room also contained several thousand newspaper executives belonging to the Newspaper Association of America (motto: Keeping You Accurately Informe-bkljskfxc"). It was one of those mass banquet luncheons where squadrons of waiters come swooping out of the kitchen carrying trays stacked high with plates protected by steel covers, which they whisk off at your table to reveal, to your astonishment and delight: chicken. The reason you always get chicken at these affairs is the Federal Interstate Chicken Transport System (FICTS), which was built during the Eisenhower administration to ensure that the nation would still be able to hold banquet luncheons after a nuclear war. All major hotels are connected via a vast underground network of pneumatic tubes to huge chicken factories in Delaware and Arkansas, where thousands of chicken parts per second (c.p.p.s) are fed into the tubes under extremely high pressure. These parts sometimes travel thousands of miles before blasting out into hotel kitchens all over the nation, where workers frantically convert them into banquet meals to make room for new incoming chicken, which arrives constantly. (There is no way to stop it; this is a federal program.) Each year hundreds of kitchen workers are injured by chicken breasts traveling at upward of 400 miles per hour. This is yet another reason why we need to be concerned about health care. So I was so eager to hear Mrs. Clinton's speech before the American Newspaper Association luncheon. It was great. She kept the crowd in stitches with a series of hilarious health-care jokes, such as the one about the guy who goes to see the doctor because he keeps finding turtles in his undershorts. No, I am kidding. Mrs. Clinton did not tell jokes. I have heard funeral speeches with a higher humor content. Mrs. Clinton is VERY serious about health care. She knows TONS of facts about it. I can tell she's the kind of person who, in sixth grade, had her Science Fair project done early, and it featured elaborate, neatly lettered diagrams and a meticulously executed experiment involving test tubes and petri dishes, clearly demonstrating some complex scientific thing involving enzymes; whereas people like me showed up with last-minute projects featuring Dixie cups and a hastily scribbled cardboard sign with a tide like "THREE KINDS OF DIRT." So I tried to pay close attention as Mrs. Clinton discussed the administration's health-care plan. I would say she's in favor of it. I'm afraid I can't offer much more detail, because health-care is one of those issues — another one is the bond market — that my brain refuses to think about. "PAY ATTENTION!" I'd tell my brain. "The First Lady is explaining health care!" But my brain would drift off, pursuinfc .is own interests, trying to remember the words to the Beach Boys' 1963 song, "Our Car Club," which never gets played on the radio, and for good reason. Mrs. Clinton would be talking about the administrative expenses of Medicare, and my brain would be singing: "We ll nave the roughest and the toughest initiation we can find..." Then Mrs. Clinton would be talking about the inequities of drug pricing, and my brain would be singing: "And if you wanna be a member, we'll really put you through the grind!" It's a good thing I'm not in charge of national health care. I can't understand my own medical bills. Last spring my son suffered some injuries requiring medical treatment, and ever since I've been receiving incomprehensible bills from dozens of random medical computers. I'm pretty sure that I'm now paying for medical care given to people injured in the Hindenburg disaster. There's no way to tell because the bills all look like this: "With reference to the above referenced account, your 73 percent deductible differential has not been satisfied with respect to your accrual parameter, and therefore you arc obligated to remit S357.16 no make that $521.67 here are some more random amounts S756.12 $726.56 and $3,928,958.12 bear in mind that we would enjoy nothing more than seeing your pale skinny body in prison." This is a true story: A while back, out of the blue, I started receiving threatening letters from a collection agency representing a hospital, demanding SIO 1.76. So I sent the agency a check. Last week, on the SAME DAY, I received (a) a letter from the collection agency returning my check, with a note stating that I did not owe the money; and (b) a NEW threatening letter from the same agency, demanding S101.76. I'm thinking that the only way out of this might be the Federal Witness Protection Program. Of course I'm sure medical care will become much simpler and more efficient once it's being handled by the federal government (motto: "We Are Not Authorized To Tell You Our Motto"). I'm hoping that Mrs. Clinton and the Congress work out some kind of plan soon, and I'm hoping that it covers routine doctor visits. Because I need to see somebody about these turtles. (Dave Barry is a syndicated columnist for the Miami Herald.) Jimmy Carter negotiates with North Koreans SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Former President Carter, in North Korea to ny to ease nuclear tensions, has held out a Carnot: the possibility of full diplex matte tics with Washington. Caner met with North Korean President Kim ll Sung fur three hours today al a presidential palace on the outskirts of the North Korea capital of Pyongyang. The two men covered a wide range of issues but U.S. fears that North Korea is building a nuclear arsenal dominated the talks. Another meeting was scheduled for Friday morning. Washington has said Carter, who is on a private tnp, was carrying no formal message from the Clinton administration. Bul he is making unofficial overtures to the hard-line Communist Today in historyAnalysis government. President Kim ll Sung told Carter through an interpreter "What is imper-tant between us is trust, confidence in each other." The meeting between us is the starting point for die first confidence in each other," he said, as translated on Cable News Network. CNN was die only Western news organization allowed into North Korea lo cover Carter's visit. Upon arriving in Pyongyang on Wednesday. Carter held out die possibility of full diplomatic lies wadi Wash ington if North Korea permits full inspections of its nuclear projects. 'The time has come lo establish full friendship and understanding, open trade, exchange of visits arid full diplomatic relations between our two countries," the former president said at a welcoming banquet. But dial will not happen until North Korea opens its nuclear facilities to inspections, he was cited by CNN as saying. Nordi Korea has indicated it wants exit of its political and economic isolation. Yet for the past 15 months the Communist state has refused lo open its nuclear sites to full U.N. inspections. The government in Pyongyang insists its nuclear program is peaceful, but the secrecy of its nuclear operations has heightened suspicions it is uying to build atomic bombs in violation of treaty obligations. While Carter sought to lessen the chances of conflict on his four-day mission, the United Stales proposed a package of sanctions to be brought before the U.N. Security Council. The package provides for a ban on weapon purchases from North Korea and suspension of U.N. development projec ts. Bul a does not attempt to hall trade with the Pyongyang government and a contains a 30-day grace period. South Korea expressed full backing lor the proposed sanctions. "Our views are well reflected, and if a resolution is adopted as drafted, it would put significant pressure on North Korea," Foreign Minister Han Sung-soo told a news conference today.

It may have broken a cultural boycott, but Paul Simon's Graceland probably helped hasten the end of apartheid by presenting black South Africans as other than faceless victims.
The character of the base music here is overwhelming: complex, ebullient and life-affirming, and in yoking this intricate dance music to his sophisticated New Yorker sensibility, Simon created a transatlantic bridge that neither pandered to nor patronised either culture. This 25th Anniversary Edition includes outtakes and demos, along with Joe Berlinger's wonderful film about the project, Under African Skies.

Lost Cherrees: Singles 1982-1985 12"
Antisociety Records
12" compilation of the first three singles by this early 80s UK anarcho-punk band. Pretty straightforward anarcho stuff, with elements of both Crass's shambolic progressivism as well as the tunefulness of the Mob / Zounds. Still, it's very, very raw and primitive, just how the punks like it.

With Colombia rapidly approaching a historical production record of one million barrels of oil per day, and Ecopetrol, the state oil company, celebrating its 60th anniversary, it is worth reviewing the events that led to these milestones.
There are relevant lessons that Colombia should not forget, and that have application not only in other Latin American countries but around the world.
The first commercial oil well in Colombia was drilled in 1918. For many decades the country was a modest producer, yielding 100-150,000 BOPD.
After the discoveries of Caño Limón in 1983 and Cusiana-Cupiagua in 1992, production rose to a peak of 820,000 BOPD, which then gradually declined to 520,000 BOPD.
Colombia's oil and gas production has rose to record highs because of:
Underlying these positive results are two important historical facts of Colombia's petroleum industry:
Ecopetrol was born out of the reversion to the Colombian state in 1951 of the De Mares Concession in the central part of the Middle Magdalena Valley. It is the site of the La Cira-Infantas field (EUR 800 MBO), which was for many years Colombia's largest oil field – a prominent surface anticline that produces from shallow Tertiary continental sandstones.
At midnight on Aug. 25, 1951, the reversion of the De Mares Concession was formalized at a surreal ceremony held at the town of Barrancabermeja. It was attended by government and industry officials, including Manuel Carvajal, minister of industry; L.P. Maier, president of Imperial Oil; managers from operator Tropical Oil Co. (a subsidiary of Imperial Oil); Emilio Sardi, the first president of Ecopetrol; the bishop of Barrancabermeja; and others.
The ceremony took place at the exact date and time on which the Supreme Court had ruled the concession should expire after a total of 30 years.
Surprisingly to some, this reversion occurred in a peaceful and amicable way, according to the terms and conditions agreed in the original concession document 30 years before, a period of high labor unrest and political upheavals – not only in Colombia but throughout Latin America, including the expropriation of private oil companies in Mexico in 1938.
Maier said at that moment, "This is to my knowledge the first time in the history of the petroleum industry in which an important property, developed by private capital under a concession, returns to the patrimony of the state by virtue of the strictly legal expiration of the contract."
Minister Manuel Carvajal replied saying, "As rightly pointed out by Mr. Maier, the event that we are celebrating today has world repercussions. Different has been the fate of exploration contracts celebrated in other countries where misunderstood nationalism has resulted in political and international commotions in order to obtain what Colombia has received by complying strictly with the agreed commitments.
"From now on, the field will be developed by the Empresa Colombiana de Petroleos, Ecopetrol."
This reversion and the creation of Ecopetrol are widely considered as the most significant events in the history of Colombia's oil industry in the first half of the 20th century. It stirred deep patriotic emotions around the country. At the exact moment of the signing of the concession's transfer the national anthem was played, bells in churches tolled, river steamers on the Magdalena River sounded their sirens and cars honked their horns through the country, all displaying the country's joy in receiving "the oil riches."
How did all this happen?
The story begins in 1905, when Colombian land speculator and promoter Roberto De Mares obtained a concession from the government, which eventually allowed Standard Oil of New Jersey to enter Colombia, a company that became the dominant force in the Colombian oil industry in the first half of the 20th century.
De Mares traveled to the United States many times to promote his concession. In 1914 his efforts began to pay off when Standard sent geologist F.C. Harrington to Colombia to study the area.
Although Harrington's assessment was positive, Standard took no action.
That same year De Mares signed a deal with M. Benedum, J. Tress and G. Crawford, who had experience developing fields in Mexico. On May 20, 1916, they incorporated in Delaware the Tropical Oil Co., and subsequently De Mares transferred the concession rights to Tropical Oil.
Work began in the area with the drilling of the discovery well Infantas 2.
In 1920, Standard Oil reached an agreement with Benedum, Tress and Crawford to purchase Tropical Oil for $100 million – but because of the delay in beginning to build a petroleum refinery, which was part of the concession obligations, Tropical requested an extension to complete the construction of the plant.
The government granted an extension and fixed Aug. 25, 1921, as the refinery's on-stream target date. The decree granting the extension implied that the concession should end 30 years after this date.
Relations between Jersey and Colombia were difficult through the years because of different legal interpretations of the contract. Critics long argued that because exploration activities had begun in 1916, and because the transfer of the concession's rights to Tropical Oil occurred on June 14, 1916, that date should have been the beginning of the 30-year-term, and therefore the concession should expire in 1946 and not in 1951.
At stake was the economic value to the nation of five years of oil production and refinery profits from 1946 to 1951 – and also whether the concession could be extended at the end of the 30-year term.
In 1941 the government notified Tropical Oil Co. that its concession rights would end on Aug. 25, 1946.
The company rejected the decision – and facing an impasse, the government requested the Supreme Court settle the issue.
In 1944, the Supreme Court ruled – in a controversial decision – that the expiration date of the contract was Aug. 25, 1951, and that on that date all the reserves, assets, equipment and the refinery would revert to the nation.
The court's decision left the government in a quandary, however, as to what to do with the concession at the moment of its reversion. Hence, the government in 1944 created the National Petroleum Council, a technical advisory entity attached to the Ministry of Petroleum, which began exploring options to manage the concession: private company, JV between the government and private investors, and state oil company.
After failed efforts to find private investors – both Colombian and foreign – the Colombian government created Ecopetrol on Jan. 9, 1951. After long and difficult negotiations the government signed a contract by which International Petroleum Colombia (an affiliate of today's ExxonMobil) provided technical assistance in running and managing the field for three years and for the upgrading of the Barrancabermeja refinery for another 10 years.
The refinery finally reverted to the state in 1961.
Starting from humble origins 60 years ago as the administrator of the La Cira-Infantas field, Ecopetrol today is a modern petroleum corporation. It is Colombia's largest oil and gas company, accounting for about 60 percent of the country's total production.
It is the fourth largest company in Latin America and one of the top 40 oil companies in the world.
It is involved in upstream activities in Brazil, Peru and the U.S. Gulf Coast. It also owns the main refineries in Colombia, most of the network of oil and products pipelines, petrochemical plants and is now entering into the bio fuel business – and it has set itself a production target for 2015 of 1.3 million BOPD.
Breaking with the traditional Latin American state oil company mold, Ecopetrol has been partially privatized. It is listed on the NYSE and on the Toronto, Lima and Bogota stock exchanges, and about half a million Colombians now own shares in it.

text: (AP) – Police say they have recovered $75,000 worth of jewelry, silver coins, cameras, electronics and other valuables believed stolen in a rash of burglaries in central Maine over the past several months. Kennebec County Sheriff Randall Liberty said Thursday the items were recovered from a vehicle and an Augusta home this week. He said many of the items were family heirlooms, including jewelry and old military medals that had been passed down through generations. Deputies have arrested 36-year-old Luke Greenlaw and his girlfriend, 27-year-old Sarah Vitale, of Augusta on theft and other charges. The couple was arrested Sunday when they attempted to trade in some of the stolen items at a Hallowell pawn shop. Liberty said the burglaries were committed to support the suspects' drug habits.

The Haunting Synopsis
Dark and forbidding, Hill House was built 130 years ago and has been filled with stories of tragedy which over time turned into ominous tales of death that left the house uninhabited ... or so it seemed.
A century later, Dr. David Marrow (Liam Neeson), intrigued by the mansion's storied past, has drawn three people to Hill House, for what he tells them is a sleep disorder study: Theo (Catherine Zeta-Jones), a woman of the world whose outward bravado isn't all it seems; Luke (Owen Wilson), the cynic of the group, who is the first to suspect that Dr. Marrow's study has nothing to do with sleeping; and the most sensitive of them, Nell (Lill Taylor). From the moment of her arrival, Nell seems strangely drawn to the mansion ... and the attraction is frighteningly mutual.
Before long, the ghosts of the past manifest themselves in terrifying visitations that might explain why the group was warned that no one stays in the house in the night...

From Forbes on August 25, 2016:
Building on a strengthening housing market, Home Depot and Lowe's each recently reported Q2 gains that bucked general shopper trends for traditional retailers, leading many to speculate that the home improvement titans were more immune to current digital pressures, aptly titled the "Amazon Effect." With Home Depot arguably the stronger performer of the two – I've previously detailed the struggles Lowe's has had in the past with attracting male shoppers as well as with its regional competitor Menards – recent analysis of the digital generation, a.k.a. Millennials, exposes vulnerabilities that Lowe's in particular faces with this next great generation of spenders. Continue reading

USD/JPY: Yen in thought
Tatiana Norkina, FBS analyst
Set a maximum in the 120th figure, the currency pair have fallen sharply to support of the upper boundary of the four-hour Ichimoku cloud. Senkou Span A keeps the price a little higher than 118th figure, but at the same time, dead cross which formed yesterday Tenkan and Kijun is relevant.
Obviously, in the near future auctions will be conducted within the cloud. If Tenkan-sen will not keep bulls under the 118.70 / 80, it is possible to recover of the course to the level of Kijun-sen line. Otherwise we wait fot testing the lower boundary of the cloud.
Technical levels: Support - 118.00; resistance - 118.80.
Trading recommendations:
1. Buy- 119.00; SL - 118.70; TP1 - 120.40; TP2 - 120.90.

T.W. Shannon, Speaker, OK House is offering a powerful speech for Capitalism and free markets. He's not mentioned "need for diversity", but says standing on true conservative principles is what will bring EVERYONE to our party and what makes this nation great. He said the best answer to poverty is not government, but a good paying job. He sounds like a great conservative with a bright future in the party.
I have to admit that I wasn't familiar with Clarence Mingo and had to look him up! It's good to see a young conservative Black man from Ohio - speaking out.

Building a new home is an exciting and challenging experience. When it comes to financing a new build, there are unique challenges and important considerations to keep in mind.
What makes buying a newly built home different from buying an existing home?
- Options and upgrades. Homes can be customized with options — from floor plans and paint colors to faucets and light fixtures. You might also be able to modify rooms and layouts or include walk-in closets, whirlpool baths, and custom appliances. Use our home wish checklist (PDF) to identify which features are important to you.
- Potential builder incentives. Some builders may offer to pay closing costs, points, or provide special interest rate incentives.
- A longer wait. Newly built homes typically have lengthier time spans between contract signing and moving day for a variety of reasons.
What are the benefits of buying a newly built home or condominium?
New homes may offer many advantages:
- More space. Newly built homes are typically larger than existing homes and offer more closet, garage, and storage space. New homes are also thoughtfully laid out with efficient space planning designed for today's lifestyles.
- Improved safety. Today's new homes have hard-wired smoke detectors and alarm systems with battery-powered backup.
- Energy efficiency. Improved heating and cooling systems and better insulation techniques offer efficiencies.
- Health considerations. New construction materials are free from asbestos, lead, and formaldehyde emissions. New radon control systems are also available.
How can I lock my interest rate range while my new home is under construction?
Our exclusive Builder Best® Extended Rate Lock program can help protect you from changing interest rates. With a required, non-refundable extended lock fee, you can lock down a range of interest rates and focus on what really matters most — building your new home.
What if interest rates rise?
Your interest rate is protected. Lock in your interest rate range anywhere from 5 to 24 months depending on the type of loan you select.
What if interest rates drop?
You have options. You may be qualified for a one-time float down option to a lower rate or a different loan program.
Talk to a home mortgage consultant about this possibility.
Let building your new home be your top priority.
What are the different types of new single-family homes?
Newly built homes
Located in a new community or on a builder's lot, these homes typically come with limited warranties on the house and appliances.
Newly built homes offer features that often are not available in existing homes, including:
- Energy efficiency from improved heating and cooling systems
- A variety of home styles and floor plans
- Options for cabinets, appliances, and lighting
Download our free guide for details on buying and financing newly built homes.
Custom homes
Built from scratch by collaborating with an architect and a builder, these homes enable you to design a home to your specifications.
While custom homes offer the opportunity to create a home optimized to your lifestyle needs and tastes, these projects can require additional consideration:
- A builder might require that you purchase the lot and secure your own interim construction financing before any work begins.
- Depending on your builder or the type of financing you obtain, you may be required to make advance deposits.
Factory-built homes
Built and inspected in a factory environment, these homes provide a combination of quality, speedy construction, and lower cost.
- Quality. Designed to meet or exceed local building codes and virtually indistinguishable from traditional homes, they often allow owner customization.
- Speed. Factory-built homes have shorter construction periods than site-built homes. The homes are usually up to 90 percent complete when shipped and typically take builders weeks to assemble.
- Cost. A modular or manufactured home can save on costs. Projects are less likely to go over budget and lower costs can make these homes more competitively priced.
What are the benefits of condo ownership?
- Condominiums exist in a variety of styles, locations, and prices.
- They may provide ownership opportunities for first-time homebuyers.
- Usually a homeowner association is responsible to maintain the building exterior, grounds, and common areas.
- Some condos provide convenient vacation getaways; others combine the opportunity for homeownership with the convenience of urban living.
What should I consider when purchasing a condo?
- Monthly fees. Homeowners association dues provide the funds to insure and maintain the common elements.
- Insurance coverage. A shared insurance policy, known as a master policy, covers the building's common elements. You may be required to purchase insurance for the interior of your unit to cover the replacement of fixtures.
- Resale restrictions. Determine any limitations on your ability to sell your unit.
- Association rules. Set by the homeowners association, these requirements govern what you are allowed to do with the exterior of your condo unit in order to keep up the project's appearance. For example, the rules may prohibit satellite dishes. The use of common elements may be governed by rules, for example parking spaces may be assigned.
- Project approval. Even if you're not applying for government financing, finding out whether a condo is approved by housing agencies such as the FHA and VA can help with resale by ensuring that future buyers can obtain this financing. It also indicates that the community is performing to certain standards set by government housing agencies. If you're thinking of buying a condo and want to find out if the project is approved, ask your home mortgage consultant to submit information about the project for review.
What is the process for financing a newly built home?
Generally, there are six steps for financing a new home from a builder or developer.
- Initial stage. Now's the time to discuss your financing. You can start by getting prequalified, which provides a rough idea of how much you may be able to borrow based on basic financial data you provide. You can also request a preapproval letter, which tells the builder you're preapproved for a specific loan amount based on a preliminary credit review.
- Application. When you're ready to sign a purchase contract, complete your mortgage application and explore options with your home mortgage consultant to protect your loan from interest rates changes during construction. Consult our application checklist (PDF) for items you may need when applying.
- Approvals. Work with a home mortgage consultant to obtain mortgage financing approval so you can enjoy seeing your home being built.
- Exercise rate-drop options. During construction, extended lock programs may help protect against interest-rate fluctuations. Many rate lock programs protect your interest from increasing and allow you to float down to current rates should market rates decline. Stay in touch with your home mortgage consultant to find the right financing option for you.
- Completion of construction. A final inspection determines that everything is ready so that you or your builder can get a Certificate of Occupancy (or its equivalent) from your local authorities.
- Move in. Your construction and financing are now complete. Congratulations and best wishes on your new home.
