China balances reserves against currency imperative By: Published on: April, 2013 China is keen to control the expansion of its foreign exchange reserves, but faces headwinds arising from the twin problems of its export-led economic model and policy in respect of the yuan. Print Order Share Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on googleplus The worlds second largest economy has changed out of all recognition in the 35 years since it adopted paramount leader Deng Xiaopings open door economic reforms and embarked on the long road towards western-style capitalism. Evolving into the worlds largest export economy, it has reaped incalculable economic and social benefits. However, the contradictions inherent in mixing free-wheeling capitalism with a tightly controlled authoritarian state are throwing up some roadblocks. The tendency to suck in vast amounts of foreign currency is one of the most pressing, with too much capital chasing too few real opportunities, and the potential for bubbles in areas such as real estate. The other main impact, the opposite side of the same coin, is the massive build up of the countrys foreign exchange reserves. Chinas reserves have grown from about $165 billion in 2000 to $3.44 trillion in the first quarter of this year. Strong reserves are not inherently bad. They act as a cushion to absorb currency fluctuations and capital outflows, and give confidence to foreign investors. However, there can be too much of a good thing. Qinwei Wang, China economist at Capital Economics, says that while China started out trying to shield itself from the capital outflows and currency crises that marked the 1997 Asian financial crisis, todays record reserves are a symptom of an unbalanced economy. The problem is central bank intervention to hold down the value of renminbi (RMB) through purchasing of foreign currency and assets mostly USD and US treasuries in order to maintain a trade surplus, explains Wang, a former economist at the Peoples Bank of China. When appreciation pressures on RMB eased in late 2011 and through most of last year, we saw the reserves stabilize as capital inflows slowed and exporters held on to their dollars. But now expectations of RMB appreciation are back, the reserves are rising again. The upward trend of RMB encourages short-term and speculative capital inflows as opposed to the long-term investments China desires on expectation of profiting from yuan appreciation, Wang explains. This in turn puts RMB under more pressure, forcing the central bank to buy dollars to prevent RMB from strengthening too much. Official figures show that capital is indeed pouring in. Credit growth rose 58% to RMB 6.2 trillion ($1 trillion) in the first quarter compared with the same period last year. There are various benchmarks to calculate the optimum reserves an economy should hold. Traditional calculations used by the IMF say there should be sufficient currency to cover three months of imports or 100% of external debt. The latest guidance from the IMF uses a weighted benchmark that combines short-term debt, other portfolio liabilities, plus an element of M2, and exports. By any of these, China would have been guilty of mismanagement had it not built up its reserves from the mid-1980s onwards in line with growth in imports of materials, goods and energy, and external liabilities. It did not always succeed and reserves went down as well as up in the 1980s and early 1990s. As recently as 2002, reserves were smaller than the optimum. However, from then onwards reserves have grown exponentially and are now more than double their optimum size, according to the Brussels Institute of Contemporary China Studies. Wang argues that the solution always comes down to the currency. A flexible RMB will appreciate making everything China more expensive thereby reducing the trade surplus, which will rein in the countrys foreign exchange reserves. A strong, flexible RMB will ultimately produce a more balanced economy as China moves away from exports-led development in favour of developing its domestic market, he says. In fact, China has been allowing RMB to appreciate. Since July 2005 when the central bank removed the dollar peg allowing RMB to move against USD within a fixed band, RMB has appreciated by more than 25% from 8.28 to the dollar to 6.17. Given the risks of exchange rate volatility to Chinas economy, its policy of trying to maintain a stable exchange rate while managing the orderly appreciation of its currency is entirely legitimate, says Patrik Säfvenblad, investment partner at Harmonic Capital. It is moving in the right direction but its not going to let itself be bullied into switching to a fully floating exchange rate before it is ready.

This one could be controversial 😉
In a recent comment, Edd James (note to Edd: that link gives a 403) asks why Outlook and Excel "need this ability to run scripts/macros[?]"
First I want to clear up a common misconception about Outlook: Despite what the endless ill-informed posters on Slashdot might claim, no recent version of Outlook (or recent update to an old version of Outlook) is designed to run code out of e-mail messages in the default configuration. Every once in a while someone finds a bug in the IE rendering engine or in Outlook that enables such execution, and that bug is fixed. Customers who want "dynamic" e-mails can still enable the feature through the Outlook security settings, but it is not the default and is not at all recommended.
But moving on, let's turn the question around: why shouldn't Outlook have a rich object model? I challenge you to give me a sound answer to that question based on security concerns (I can understand why you might not want the feature for "code bloat" reasons, etc.)
The obvious answer is that having an object model in Outlook makes all those mass-mailing viruses possible. Apparently anyone who uses that argument hasn't heard of the recent viruses going around; that latest "virus technology" doesn't rely on Outlook to do its dirty work. It scans files on your hard-disc to scavenge e-mail addresses, and then it uses a built-in SMTP mailer to send out the mails. If you are running Lotus Notes or Pine or Eudora or Mozilla Mail or any other e-mail client and you execute a MyDoom-like virus program, you are in trouble. (At this point, someone may point out that their e-mail program of choice is not susceptible to the virus de jour because the virus only understands the Outlook address book file format. True, but that has nothing to do with whether or not Outlook exposes an object model, and everything to do with the size of the installed user base).
The next answer is that having an object model in Outlook makes all those mass-mailing viruses easier to write. It is too easy for a "script kiddie" to cobble together some VBScript code and take over the world, so the argument goes. But the term "script kiddie" doesn't necessarily literally refer to "kids" writing "scripts." It refers to relatively unskilled people (of all ages) downloading sophisticated attack tools (written by the "real hackers") and then using them in some possibly-automated fashion. I doubt the average "script kiddie" has enough m4d c0ding 5ki11z to even write "Hello World" in VBScript, let alone craft something sophisticated like MyDoom. What the kiddies can do is surf around on #hacker IRC channels, download pre-canned exploit code from hackers, double-click on the icon on their desktop, and then brag to all their other 1337 friends. Basically, the really bad people (the criminals) who write real viruses don't need the Outlook OM to do their dirty work; sure if it is there they might choose use it, but they don't need it.
Of course the other point is that having an OM makes it easy for legitimate developers to write applications that better meet their customers' needs, and that is A Good Thing. We don't want to make it arbitrarily hard for "the good guys" to build solutions using our technologies, and in the end it won't really buy us anything since the bad guys are more determined than the good guys and so they will persevere with writing their malware whether we "help" them or not.
In fact, by making it hard for ISVs to write against the Outlook OM, you can argue that the world has gotten worse because customers now typically install 3rd party applications such as ClickYes or Redemption to re-enable access to Outlook… and those programs may have security bugs of their own!
The next answer (and a slightly better one) is that many people don't need the object model, so in order to reduce the attack surface of Outlook it should not be installed. The same argument has been used for WSH (Windows Script Host) as well, and you could make it for all sorts of other features, too; installing anything on your system (even security software) increases the attack surface of your system in one way or another. But the fact is though that these kinds of features don't actually present a very compelling "attack surface" as we usually define it. The person making this particular argument is probably missing the point. Once the malicious code is running on your system, it's game over man, GAME OVER!
I think this calls for an analogy 🙂
One day a burglar breaks into your house. You surprise them in the kitchen, so they grab a sharp knife out of the drawer and stab you with it before running away. In an attempt to prevent this from happening in the future, you banish all knives from your house when you return from hospital. Sure, it might be hard to cut your steak from now on, but that's the price you pay for security. (Thanks to Randy for pointing out that "cheese" was not a good choice of words here for an American audience… 🙂 )
A few weeks later, the burglar breaks into your house a second time, and you surprise them in the kitchen again. This time they grab a big saucepan from the drawer and hit you over the head with it before running away. After returning from the hospital, you remove all saucepans and frying pans from your kitchen to improve the security of your house. No cheese and no fried food might be good for your waistline, after all!
A week or two goes by, and the burglar strikes again. This time you catch them in the bedroom, and bereft of cooking implements they pick up a shoe that is lying on the floor and throw it at you. One trip to the hospital later, you have no choice but to ban shoes from your house as well. Hmmm, this could make going out for a walk a bit tricky, but hey, you have to protect yourself, right?
What's the point of this analogy? Well, you have failed to perform a root cause analysis of the problem. The problem isn't that you have knives or saucepans or shoes in your house; it's that the burglar keeps getting inside! If only you'd invested in a good-quality front-door lock (and possibly a guard dog or an alarm) none of this would have happened. And to appease the "attack surface reduction" argument, removing knives and saucepans isn't a very effective technique because the burglar will just start packing their own weapons or perhaps they'll come in at night when you're fast asleep. A good attack surface reduction technique in this scenario would be to permanently seal the back door (so there's only one main entrance to the house) and to place bars on all the windows (so there's less room to crawl through).
In the same way, removing WSH or Outlook or any other piece of "end user" code on Windows doesn't really help with attack surface reduction, and won't improve the real security of your machine one bit (it simply makes you less vulnerable to the more "popular" attacks, which is cold comfort indeed). Now don't get me wrong — attack surface reduction is a great thing and we should be doing more of it. But a better example of attack surface reduction is the disabling of unneeded services, or the blocking of dangerous attachments in e-mail messages (the thing most responsible for the drop in e-mail viruses, until ZIP files became the infection vector), because both of these represent possible attack vectors for malicious code. Once malicious FullTrust (native) code is running on your system, it doesn't need any help from installed applications. As an extreme example, imagine that Outlook completely dropped its object model in the next version, and imagine further that nobody else in the world knew how to write a program to send e-mail. Mass-mailing viruses would still be possible; they'd simply bundle an old copy of Outlook '97 into their virus payload and use that to do their dirty work!
This is where threat modelling comes into play. If you yourself are writing some software and are worried about exposing features to COM or .NET clients because of the security implications, then think of it this way. If your threat is:
· User downloads malicious full-trust code that uses your application's OM to do harm
Then you also have the threats:
· User downloads malicious full-trust code that sends windows messages to your application to do harm
· User downloads malicious full-trust code that patches the binary (or in-memory image) of your application to expose an OM and then uses it to do harm
· User downloads malicious full-trust code that duplicates the functionality of your application to do harm
What is the root cause here? It is User downloads malicious full-trust code and that is the thing that you (or rather we 🙂 ) should be trying to address with things like firewalls, proxies, virus scanners, attachment blocking, Software Restriction Policies, and so on. We put a better lock on the front door so that you don't have to throw out all your kitchen knives.
Obviously this simple threat model doesn't apply if you have an ActiveX component marked "Safe for Scripting," or if you develop managed code that allows partially-trusted callers, or if you accept any kind of untrusted communications from other machines across the network. In those cases you have much more complicated threat models and you do have to start worrying about what happens when someone with restricted permissions talks to your application's OM, and it would be great for you to look at how you can reduce your attack surface. But for a rich-client full-trust-only application like Office 2003, these kinds of threats simply don't apply.
Finally, if you're still not convinced, then think of it this way: Outlook is nothing special. Sure, it's a great e-mail client and I spend most of my day using it, but at the end of the day it's just a piece of software. Whenever a destructive virus comes around, you don't see the whole world demanding that Microsoft remove the DeleteFile API from Windows because it makes it easy to write file deletion viruses; that would be ludicrous. It's the same with viruses like Blaster or Slammer — nobody asked Microsoft to pull networking from Windows just because there were viruses that propagated across the network (although some people have asked for "raw sockets" to be pulled, even though they are a standard part of most modern operating systems).
Another angle: A recent InfoWorld article shows the prevalence of spyware and adware on users' machines; a lot of that stuff is "willingly" installed by the user as part of some other application (typically file-sharing software), although a lot of it is also "accidentally" installed by users who do not read the (very poorly designed) IE download dialogs (which will thankfully be fixed in SP 2). These programs are probably more "destructive" to the average user than any e-mail virus, since they completely violate your privacy (monitoring web surfing, stealing passwords and credit card numbers, etc.), can include "backdoors" to allow later access and complete compromise of the system, and often cause instability of the OS.
And none of this has anything to do with Outlook, or, indeed, any kind of e-mail program. It has to do with the users' basic right to install software on their own computer and make bad trust decisions in the process. This is the problem that we need to fix long-term; not the ability of software to expose powerful, flexible object models that can be freely and productively used by suitably-trusted clients to build great customer-focused solutions. And of course, since trust is inherently a social problem, not a technological one, so the best we can do is educate users and guide them into making good decisions; we cannot make decisions for them.
There is no silver bullet.

text: NORTH PLAINS, Ore., May 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. ("Jewett- Cameron") (NASDAQ:JCTCF) today is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has authorized the implementation of a share repurchase plan to purchase for cancellation up to 400,000 common shares through facilities of the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ"). This amount represents approximately 13% of the approximately 3.1 million common shares outstanding. Since the 4 th quarter of Fiscal 2010, the Company repurchased 1,646,826 common shares (adjusted for a 2 for 1 stock split effective May 1, 2013) under prior formal plans of repurchase. Transactions may involve Jewett- Cameron insiders or their affiliates executed in compliance with Jewett- Cameron's Insider Trading Policy. The share repurchase plan will be effected in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which contains restrictions on the number of shares that may be purchased on a single day, subject to certain exceptions for block purchases, based on the average daily trading volumes ("ADTV") of Jewett- Cameron's shares on NASDAQ. Purchases shall be limited to daily purchases in an amount up to 25% of the ADTV in its shares, or one "Block" purchase per week in lieu of the 25% of ADTV limitation for compliance with Rule 10b-18(b)(4). A "block" as defined under Rule 10b-18(a)(5) means a quantity of stock that, among other things, is at least 5,000 shares and has a purchase price of at least US$50,000. This share repurchase plan may commence on June 3, 2013 and will remain in place until August 16, 2013 but may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. The share repurchase program was approved by the Company's Board of Directors as part of its ongoing consideration of alternative ways to leverage the Company's strong cash position. The Board of Directors believes that a share repurchase program at this time is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and will not impact the Company's ability to execute its growth plans.

Video footage has emerged on YouTube showing a gamer being robbed at gunpoint while live streaming her gameplay on camera.
The 17-minute video shows Nikki Elise of Arizona - who plays the popular online video game Dota 2 under the handle Sajedene on streaming website Twitch - running off-screen after being alerted by shouting in a neighbouring room.
Shortly after leaving the room, shouts of "On the ground now! On the ground!" can be heard while the live stream continues, before a man armed with a pistol enters and proceeds to remove a number of items, which the police believe to be weapons, from the room. Some minutes later the same man turns off the lights and disconnects the webcam, ending the stream.
According to Arizona news site, AZFamily, two armed gunmen were involved in the incident, forcing their way into Elise's home as she continued to broadcast her gaming footage.
Matthew Bailey of website onGamers said on Twitter that Elise and a fellow Dota 2 streamer are "very shaken up but ok."
I can confirm that @Sajedene & @SUNSfanTV are ok. Very shaken up but ok.— Matthew Bailey (@Cyborgmatt) June 9, 2014
Elise's Twitch channel, which originally broadcast the footage, has since been closed down. A statement on the landing page of the channel reads: "The community has closed this channel due to terms of service violations."Reuse content

The Destination
It's hard to miss Mount Shasta. The second-tallest peak in the Cascade Range, this 14,180-foot beast seems to rise from nothing, its majestic snow-capped peak holding court over much of Northern California. Outdoor enthusiasts flock to the area for its prolific trout streams; its hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing trails; its golf courses; its majestic waterfalls and lake; and its downhill skiing resorts. Of course, lounging around in town, sipping vino, and maybe doing a little shopping is a perfect way to unwind, too.
The Digs
A stay at Mount Shasta Resort requires you to have your camera ready: Just beyond the lush, green terrain of the on-site golf course is the snow-capped brilliance of Mount Shasta. Tucked away in a forest overlooking Lake Siskiyou, this property also boasts beautiful views and quaint chalets with full kitchens, dining areas, living rooms, cozy fireplaces, spacious bathrooms, and homey décor.
The Diversions
Stroll out to the resort's par-70, 18-hole course and admire the rolling greens and crisp air. Walk the 6,035-yard course to sneak in some extra heart-healthy exercise. Then, watch the sun dip below the horizon from a table at Highland House Restaurant. Nibble a plate of coconut shrimp or tuck into a filet mignon as you watch the sublime blending of colors outside the window.
The chalet was beautifully furnished and lovely location on the lake. We had two dinners there, each one good and very nice staff.-- LivingSocial Member

Sixty years ago, the University of Chicago Press undertook a momentous project: a new translation of the Greek tragedies that would be the ultimate resource for teachers, students, and readers. They succeeded. Under the expert management of eminent classicists David Grene and Richmond Lattimore, those translations combined accuracy, poetic immediacy, and clarity of presentation to render the surviving masterpieces of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides in an English so lively and compelling that they remain the standard translations. Today, Chicago is taking pains to ensure that our Greek tragedies remain the leading English-language versions throughout the twenty-first century. In this highly anticipated third edition, Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most have carefully updated the translations to bring them even closer to the ancient Greek while retaining the vibrancy for which our English versions are famous. This edition also includes brand-new translations of Euripides' Medea, The Children of Heracles, Andromache, and Iphigenia among the Taurians, fragments of lost plays by Aeschylus, and the surviving portion of Sophocles's satyr-drama The Trackers. New introductions for each play offer essential information about its first production, Description, and reception in antiquity and beyond. In addition, each volume includes an introduction to the life and work of its tragedian, as well as notes addressing textual uncertainties and a glossary of names and places mentioned in the plays. In addition to the new content, the volumes have been reorganized both within and between volumes to reflect the most up-to-date scholarship on the order in which the plays were originally written. The result is a set of handsome paperbacks destined to introduce new generations of readers to these foundational works of Western drama, art, and life.

Simmons & Simmons, Freshfields and Herbert Smith were the winners last year in private company acquisitions, according to Acquisitions Monthly.
Freshfields has succeeded in ousting Slaughter and May from the number one slot in the league table. Slaughters moves from number one, where it had been for three years running, to number two. At number three is Herbert Smith, which was in eighth place last year, fourth is Linklaters & Paines, with Simmons & Simmons coming in fifth up from ninth in 1995.
All three big movers vastly increased their deal flow last year by their involvement with the railway leasing companies. Simmons acted with Pinsent Curtis for the buyout team that took control of Porterbrook Leasing for £527m, which was subsequently sold to Stagecoach for £825m. Freshfields advised Abbey National on its £1.4bn takeover of National and Provincial. Herbert Smith acted for the team that acquired Evershold Leasing for £580m.

More injuries for Red Sox as Pedroia is placed on 15-day DL
BOSTON (AP) – The Boston Red Sox placed second baseman Dustin Pedroia on the 15-day disabled list Friday with a hyperextended right thumb — the same finger he hurt earlier in the season.
"I'm pretty frustrated by it," the 2008 AL MVP said before Friday night's game against the New York Yankees. "You work so hard in the offseason to prevent injury and you get a couple of freak accidents, same thumb. It stinks. I'll be fine. I'll produce in a major way this season to help our team, I promise you guys that."
The move was retroactive to Wednesday. Infielder Pedro Ciriaco was selected from Class AAA to take his place, and Rich Hill was transferred to the 60-day disabled list to make room for Ciriaco on the 40-man roster.
The Red Sox also activated outfielder Scott Podsednik from the 15-day disabled list and optioned him to Pawtucket.
Pedroia hasn't played since injuring his thumb on Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics when he landed on the back of his thumb trying to make a diving catch. The team said in a statement that the injury was not related to the one that sidelined him for six games in May.
"My other injury is healed. It's 100% healed," Pedroia said. "That's the part that's frustrating. I was about to get on a huge run the rest of the way, like I always do, and this happens. But there is still a lot of games left. I'll heal this thing up, get out there and it will make a huge difference.
"I'm a lizard. I heal while I play. I'm a freak healer. I heal great."
Pedroia is batting .266 with six home runs and 33 RBI.
Ciriaco hit .301 with four home runs and 21 RBI in 64 games with Pawtucket this year while appearing at every infield position except first base.
Hill has been on the 15-day disabled list since June 10 with a left elbow strain. Podsednik had been on the DL since June 19 with a left groin strain.

Battōjutsu is a field of kenjutsu which deals specifically with the rapid drawing and sheathing of a sword. It is the predecessor of the art of Iaido, in that their differences stem from the fact that Iaido is much like Kendo as a form of spiritual training and sport, where Battojutsu practices and studies the dynamics of sword drawing and hand eye coordination regarding live action factors of timing, distance, targeting, and the specifics of one's sword, including its size and blade, to strike readily. It is hence practiced with live swords, in contrast to kata and sparring needs eventually developing the safer bokken and shinai.
In most cases, a katana being drawn from its sheath moves with a much greater speed and force than when it is being wielded normally. Additionally, greater drawing speed gives a swordsman more of an advantage in combat than an opponent whose speed is inferior. This is due in part to the fact that a katana's sharp blade curves upward against the inside of the sheath, allowing the swordsman to use more strength in drawing it without having to worry about applying extra control to his movements - the sword's path is guided by the sheath while the blade meets no resistance, moving two to three times faster than normal.Himura Kenshin is known as the Battōsai ("Unsheather") due to his complete mastery with battōjutsu and can even manage to use his godspeed battōjutsu with a sakabatō with its dull edge curving up against the inside of the sheath as well as use the same godspeed for Nōtōjutsu (the art of sheathing).

From the Spanish root word "chancla," which means "flip flop" (like the cheap shoes). A "chancluda", literally meaning "A female wearing flip flops," but in Mexico, prostitutes pride themselves on their shoes, and a prostitute wearing flip flops is the cheapest, skankiest, sluttiest, nastiest hooker out there because she charges so little (because of her disgusting appearance) that she can only afford to buy flip flops with her meager earnings. Hence, a "chancluda" is a whore of the very lowest standards in Mexico.
One might use the verbiage of: "Your mother is a skanky ass chancluda, bitch." when attempting to insult a spanish-speaking rival.

The £10million-rated forward, who has been the sensation of the Premiership season, is almost certain to leave Bolton if they are relegated at the end of this campaign.
Ricketts is set to win his first England cap in tomorrow's World Cup warm-up against Holland in Amsterdam.
He has impressed Spurs manager Glenn Hoddle and the White Hart Lane club will continue to monitor the situation.
Birmingham-born Ricketts scored a fine goal against Spurs when Bolton lost 3-2 in a Premiership match this season.
The 23-year-old striker, who has scored 15 goals this season, is bound to provoke plenty of interest among other Premiership clubs as well.
His form has prompted England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson to include him in his plans for the match in Amsterdam.
He could even make his debut from the start now that Liverpool's Michael Owen has dropped out with an injury.
Ricketts recently signed a new, long-term deal at Bolton but that will not prevent him leaving if the club go down.
The sale would represent fantastic business by Bolton manager Sam Allardyce, who snatched Ricketts from Walsall for £250,000 in the summer of 2000.
It is clear that Hoddle is looking to sign a new striker at the end of the season. The 6ft 2ins frontman would be an ideal long-term replacement for the 35-year-old Les Ferdinand and a perfect foil for another England striker, Sunderland's Kevin Phillips, who has also been linked with a move to Spurs during the close season.
Spurs would hope to fund at least one of the transfers by parting with Sergei Rebrov who has made it clear he wants to leave in the summer.
It has also been revealed that Spurs made a recent enquiry about Middlesbrough's Croatia striker Alen Boksic but were told he was not available.

The Mormon church was founded in 1830 in New York State. Missionaries came to Britain in 1837 and preached their first sermon in Preston, Lancashire and it was only in the late 1840s that they trekked to Salt Lake Valley in Utah, now the church's international headquarters. Mormons place a big emphasis on missionary work - nearly 1,600 missionaries serve in Britain - and on the family as a basic unit of society. Family relationships, they believe, continue into eternity.
Now Preston is the focus again. Next Sunday, 7 June, the Latter-Day Saints, as they prefer to be called, will dedicate their second largest temple in the world. Not in Utah, but in Chorley, just outside Preston. For the past two weeks, it has been open house at the new temple. More than 100,000 visitors stepped inside before it was closed forever to the uninitiated. About half were paid-up members of the Mormon church (no pun intended, but members pay ten per cent of their income to the church.)
Among the visitors were American descendants of the first missionaries. The rest of the visitors had come out of curiosity, to feast their eyes on the interior of a building which is rumoured to have cost between pounds 50m and pounds 100m.
"The baptismal font will blow your socks off, I promise you. There's been nothing like it since the Temple of Solomon," promised Bryan Grant, who became a Mormon 30 years ago after a missionary knocked on his door.
The 35-carat gold trumpeting angel at the top of the temple's steeple can be seen from miles around. The building itself bears down on motorists whizzing along the M61 below, a testament to the growth of the church, particularly locally.
"The church in Chorley has doubled in the last year," said Mr Gould, now the church's director of public affairs. "There are 280 worshippers each Sunday. They're going to have to divide the ward into two congregations. Over the last quarter of a century we have opened a new congregation somewhere in Britain every two to three weeks, and a new chapel every six weeks."
It is rare for a state or country to have more than one Mormon temple. But the temple in Preston is the UK's second (the first is at Lingfield in Surrey).
Regular Anglican church attendance has diminished by more than half in 50 years - dipping below 1 million for the first time in 1996. "The churches feel a little bit threatened by the success of the Mormons and so like to perpetuate the stereotypes," said Mr Gould. "People like to think we've been here 10 minutes and we're all Americans."
Don't you believe it. There was an abundance of Mormons with British accents in the queue last week. Take, for example, Margaret Bridges, a 47-year-old civil servant from Bristol, who converted seven months ago. "Three weeks after I found out about the church I joined, and three weeks after that I was baptised. It was the best move I've ever made," she enthused. "I just knew I had to join. I went in, saying my first prayer and singing my first hymn, and thought: 'I've got to do this'."
Ms Bridges was brought up in the Church of England, but never felt inclined to pursue that faith. "The Mormon church is not so much a church as a way of life," she said. "It's not something you do for an hour on a Sunday. You get up with it on Monday morning and go to bed with it on Sunday night."
Since becoming a Mormon, Ms Bridges has felt much calmer. "Everybody looks after each other," she said. "You all live by the same rules so you know this lady [pointing to the woman standing next to her] will be doing exactly what I'm doing."
Mormons are law-abiding citizens, who follow a health code which forbids stimulants such as tea, coffee, alcohol, harmful drugs and tobacco. They attend weekly services on Sundays in a chapel, also the venue for other religious activities. Their temples are reserved for special ceremonies. It is here that family members are "sealed together", not just for this life but for "time and eternity". It is also where they perform baptisms, saving their ancestors retrospectively.
Heather Fell, 47, from Scunthorpe, had come for the day with her children and grandchildren. "I think it's the way the family lives," she said. "Families are very important because, to us, we're going to be with them for eternity."
Some visitors, like Philippa Dunn, 16, from Blackburn, emerged none the wiser. "All I knew is that they wear suits and are American, and I don't know much more now," she said. "It's more like a hotel than a church. All those chandeliers. It's not really religious. The way you look around, it's like a stately home."
Helen Sadler, 17, took the day off college to visit the temple with her Mormon boyfriend, Craig Collier, 19, a funeral director, whom she met a year ago. Whenever she accompanies Craig to church she says, she feels that: "I want to be a part of this. I want some of that goodness."
The tour of the temple, not least the lavish Bride's Room, impressed her. "Magnificent is an understatement," she said. "It really brings home to you that the most important thing is your family and home and the love you have there." Craig was keen to point out that, should they get married, Helen would be his only wife. Many people think that Mormons are polygamous, but the practice was brought to an end in 1890.
Mr Gould believes the reason that the Mormon faith is expanding is "all about families" - the conventional, nuclear ones, that is. Monday evenings are set aside worldwide for "family home" evenings.
Couples have their marriage vows "extended for eternity" in the "Sealing Room" One of 150 rooms in the temple, it has multiple mirrors to "give the feeling of eternity". "This to me is the pinnacle of the temple," explained Mr Gould. "It's a family factory, where families are made."
The fabled baptismal font is in the basement, to symbolise death and rebirth. With changing rooms, lockers, tiled floors and marble surfaces, the area is reminiscent of an upmarket health spa. The font rests on the backs of 12 marble oxen, symbolically representing the 12 tribes of Israel. Here Mormons perform baptisms on behalf of their ancestors. "We admit we don't know whether our great, great grandfather wants to be baptised," said Mr Gould, "but we do it as a labour of love."
Mr Gould spoke with pride of the materials: the American cherry wood, the crystal chandeliers from Austria, the font from Germany, the crushed marble from Spain, the granite from Sardinia. "The Lord has commanded only the best of materials," he said, pre-empting the next question by adding: "Over the last 15 years the Church has given pounds 100m to the Third World."
Besides baptismal work and sealings, there is "endowment". A session lasts two hours and includes instruction on "the three great questions of life" - where did I come from? why am I here? where am I going?
Armed with the answers, the Mormons proceed from the Endowment Room to the Celestial Room where they can "ponder the purpose of life" in an ambience designed to give a feeling of "going into the presence of God". This requires a 300kg chandelier, a plush honey-coloured carpet, lemon yellow leather, and artificial pale pink roses adorning the side tables. Silence prevails.
James Beckford, Professor of Sociology at the University of Warwick, who has made specialised studies of religious movements and the public's reaction to them, believes that the combination of efficient marketing and its emphasis on family life accounts for the growth of Mormonism.
"Someone coming cold to the Mormon religion is offered a ready-made, friendly, community atmosphere where they can simply slot in and everyone shakes their hand and is nice to them. It's seductive and some people respond well to that very direct marketing approach. I think Mormon evangelists do what people who have taken courses in salesmanship and marketing do. But that is not say they are not doing it sincerely.
"It is the kind of religion in which all members of the family are expected to participate. It's an all-purpose community.Mormons like to have sing- songs around the piano. They do all the things that, if you read the community studies of British village life in the pre-war period, we used to do."
Asked whether the world was soon going to be taken over by Mormons, Mr Grant replied swiftly: "2036. We've worked it out. Well, that's if we continue at this rate."Reuse content

Few DJs and producers can claim as much diversity as Nick Riley and Andi Durrant… Best known as 2 of the UK's favourite and musically diverse DJs, defying genres and resisting the usual rules of electronic music. They are producers, players and presenters, reaching over half a million people a week on their massively popular radio shows and pulling in crowds of thousands to their events and parties.
Playing and making a concoction of house, techno, electro, progressive and melodic, their tracks are being supported by a wide cross section of DJs – from underground legends Laurent Garnier and Sander Klienenberg to trance superstars Armin and Tiesto, to house hero's like Pete Tong. They also produce music for television and film. In 2008 Riley & Durrant remixed international chart hits from Mark Brown ("The Journey" – UK no. 11), the Cube Guys club smash "Baba O'Riley", alongside a stack of more underground club focussed records which have seen the boys among the top of the Beatport download charts. As the summer 2009 season gets under way, the boys have already remixed 6 tracks for independent and major labels, including the new single from the Utah Saints, Just Jack and Blue Pearl and found their way into sets by DJs like Krafty Kuts, Micky Slim, Dave Spoon and many more.
Between them they present 2 of the Galaxy Networks flagship specialist dance programs, including Andi Durant's Saturday Warmup (now the biggest and most listened to Saturday radio show in the UK) and their cutting-edge Friday night showcase for the underground, unsigned and unheard. This year Andi was also awarded his third prestigious Sony Award and joining the ranks of previous winners Zane Lowe and Colin Murray as Music Broadcaster of the Year.
This year the boys made their first entry into the prestigious DJ Mag Top 150 and were voted as Britain's No. 6 in the Datatransmission UK DJ Poll, alongside Errol Alkin, Sasha, Digweed and James Zabeila.
For the entire 2008 season Riley & Durrant were part of the biggest and busiest night in Ibiza when they were asked to be weekly residents at Privilege to provide the sound of the second room at Tiesto's sell-out concerts. In 2009 they return as weekly residents at the Worlds Biggest Club and continue to provide an alternative eclectic sound to the night.
As co-owners and promoters of the massive Electrik Playground club nights, Riley & Durrant have been touring across Europe with a regular party at the infamous Ministry of Sound in London, Privilege Ibiza and one off events at clubs and arenas around the UK.
No strangers to some of the world's biggest parties and festivals, Riley & Durrant have rocked the main stages of Creamfields, Gatecrashers Summer Sound System, Godskitchen's Global Gathering and Fort Dance in St Petersberg, alongside arenas and stadiums across the UK, Russia, Asia and America.

Gerresheimer extends medical devices operations in the US
Gerresheimer AG, one of the world's leading partners of the pharma and healthcare industry, is extending its production capacity for medical plastic systems at its plant in Peachtree City, Georgia/USA. The production area will be increased by an addi-tional 5,600 m² (60,000 square feet). Production of new medical devices will start right after completion of the infrastructural enlargements. Gerresheimer is investing double digit Million Dollars in the project in Peachtree City, which will create around 120 additional jobs in the medium-term future.
"We're experiencing worldwide growth in demand for user friendly, safe and easy to use medical devices such as inhalers and insulin pens. As a result of this growth, and new customer projects, our excellent plant in Peachtree City will be significantly increasing its production capacity. There are a great many opportunities for us in this business segment in the US and our Peachtree City facility will play a crucial role in helping us to exploit them. We greatly appreciate the generous support of the state and local authorities in Georgia in this challenging project," commented Andreas Schütte, member of the management board of Gerresheimer AG with responsibility for the Plastics & Devices Division.
The additional production area will significantly increase Gerresheimer's Peachtree City plant's production capacity. Two thirds of the additional production area will be ISO class 8 cleanroom.
Gerresheimer is taking advantage of Georgia's internationally acclaimed workforce training program, Quick Start. The approximately 120 new jobs to be created in the medium term will include executive, adminis-trative, supervisory and production positions.
"Georgia's healthcare industry is uniquely poised to help Gerresheimer grow," said Governor Nathan Deal, State of Georgia/USA. "This leading global company is taking advantage of an eager, skilled workforce and an advanced life science and healthcare ecosystem. Our state is the ideal location to support Gerresheimer's newest expansion."
Gerresheimer established its first Peachtree City production facility in 1993 and expanded it in 2009 with the establishment of a Technical Competence Center (TCC). The plant in Peachtree City is part of Gerresheimer's Medical Plastic Systems business unit. Gerresheimer Headquarters is based in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Susan Alex Percival is a student on the BA (Hons) Illustration course. She was initially introduced to the possibility of studying an art degree online by a friend who explained to her how online study worked. Susan already had to split her time between working and taking care of her family, and had ruled out an attendance based course; the possibility of a flexible online course that lead to a qualification from the University of Hertfordshire appealed. Now settled into the online BA (Hons) Illustration course, she has found that being able to choose where and when she studies, as well as the reduced fees, just what she was looking for:
"If I couldn't do this course online I wouldn't be able to do it. This is such a wonderful opportunity for me, I am so happy to be doing this now."
Susan has always been interested in art and design, but when she was younger felt that it wasn't the right time to pursue her talent:
"After school, I didn't have the confidence to follow my art career, and as I felt financially insecure I did not attend university and sought well paid work instead."
However, her interest in art never went away:
"I believe I have always been an illustrator at heart and it took years for me to realise this, as I only began to pursue art again 10 years ago."
Susan began studying a degree in Humanities online but soon decided that it she really wanted to do a more practical course. After searching for an online course that was focussed on the creation of art, and not just the theory, she found the perfect opportunity in the BA (Hons) Illustration course delivered by IDI:
"I researched very thoroughly, even internationally, and finally settled on what I believe is the very best course available. I'm actually really proud to be one of their students and I am excited to be working towards my degree."
So far Susan has found the course to be just the challenge she was looking for:
"I am always happy to be doing the studies; it doesn't seem to matter what aspect or module. To be studying illustration is a dream come true, so that's what is enjoyable."
Despite the difficulties of time management and finding some of the coursework to be challenging, Susan has found that the IDI tutors and Student Support team have always been very helpful:
"The tutors are great, I feel like they are very connected to where I am at. I feel understood."
Studying illustration online with IDI has already given her the confidence boost she needed to begin planning for a future career in the art and design industry:
"I would like to re-launch myself as an illustrator and earn my living with that. I would like to have a thriving internet based business and possibly one of my own illustrated books published."
For anyone considering studying art and design degree online with IDI, Susan believes there is no time like the present:
"After you have taken account of your time and the commitment online study requires, I would say: Do it!"
"If do find yourself on a course, never give up. There's support and there is always a way to get through. You really have to be ready to get on a roller coaster, so if you get on, stay on for the whole ride."

If you're planning to study in Australia, you may well have your sights set on one of the two highest-ranking universities in Australia: Australian National University (ANU) and the University of Melbourne.
Placed at joint 19th and 42nd in the QS World University Rankings® 2015/16, both are among the world's very best universities, making the choice between the two leading universities in Australia a pretty tough decision.
Below is an overview of various factors to consider when choosing where to study in Australia, including subject strengths, tuition fees, location and student population, followed by a more in-depth comparison of the top two universities in Australia in each category.

Student community
Over 22,500 students in 2015
No recent stats on number of undergraduates, postgraduates and international students (2013 stats here)
In 2013, 5,590 of the 15,523 students were international (26% of students).
45,411 students in total, including 15,208 international students (33.5% of students) (2015 figures)
Fees and funding
Annual undergraduate fees for domestic students range from A$6,256 to $10,440 (US$4,500-$7,500).
Annual international undergraduate fees range from A$31,008 to $37,104 (US$22,300-$26,680). (2016 figures).
Annual international graduate student fees range from A$31,008 to $39,024 (US$22,300-$28,075).
Annual undergraduate fees for domestic students range from A$6,256 to $10,440. (US$4,500-$7,500) – 2016 figures.

Annual international graduate student fees range from A$30,240 to A$36,512 (US$21,780-$26,300).
*Based on the QS World University Rankings by Faculty (2015/16)
QS World University Rankings® 2015/16
Ranking well within the top 50 of the QS World University Rankings, both Australian National University and the University of Melbourne are established members of the world's higher education elite. They both score extremely well on QS's global academic reputation survey, with the University of Melbourne taking a slight lead in this indicator, ranking at 22nd in the world, while Australian National University is close behind in 26th. Melbourne also comes out ahead for employer reputation, ranking 18th in the world, while ANU is a little further behind, in 59th place.
ANU is ranked 191st for student/faculty ratio, while the University of Melbourne is outside of the global top 400 on this measure. This indicator aims to give an approximate idea of the level of support students may be able to expect, given the number of full-time faculty members employed per student.
ANU claims a slightly stronger score than University of Melbourne for citations per faculty member, which aims to assess research impact; it is ranked 61st on this measure, while Melbourne is 100th.
For international diversity, both are again strong performers – unsurprising in light of Australia's long history of welcoming students and academics from overseas. Both are within the global top 55 for their percentage of international students: Melbourne 43rd and ANU 53rd. For international faculty members, ANU is even stronger – ranked 30th in the world to Melbourne's 170th.
In short, it's a close race all round; ANU and the University of Melbourne lead in three indicators each.
Subject strengths
The latest edition of the QS World University Rankings by Faculty (based on global surveys of academics and employers, as well as research citations data) indicates that ANU is slightly stronger in arts and humanities and natural sciences, while Melbourne comes out ahead for life sciences, social sciences and engineering and technology subjects.
For more specific insights, the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2016 highlights each university's performance in 42 individual subject areas. These rankings further highlight the strong international standing of the top universities in Australia across a broad spectrum of disciplines; in most cases, both ANU and the University of Melbourne feature among the world's top 50.
Especially strong areas for Australian National University include anthropology (7th in the world), politics (8th), development studies (8th), archaeology (8th), agriculture (11th), Earth and marine sciences (12th), history (12th), social policy (14th), law (15th), sociology (16th), and geography (17th). This shows that, although ANU is not ranked as highly as the University of Melbourne for social sciences, it is still a strong contender in this field.
Meanwhile Melbourne's strongest positions come in education (joint 7th in the world), law (8th), accounting (12th), computer science (13th), psychology (14th), business (15th), environmental sciences (15th), anthropology (17th) and medicine (18th).
While there may be little difference between the two top universities in Australia in terms of the high quality of education they provide, there is a lot to distinguish them when it comes to location.
Often referred to as the nation's cultural capital, Melbourne is an arty city featuring impressive architecture, world-leading museums and an on-the-pulse theatre and comedy scene. The city also offers a myriad of ultra-cool restaurants, clubs and shopping districts, as well as a healthy love of sports.
Coming second in the QS Best Student Cities 2016, Melbourne is a popular study destination due to its large and diverse student community, excellent quality of living and high concentration of world-class universities. Besides the University of Melbourne, the city is home to six more Australian universities which feature in the QS World University Rankings. These are Monash University (67th in the world), the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT, joint 273rd), Deakin University (joint 324th), La Trobe University (joint 394th), Swinburne University of Technology (501-550) and Victoria University (601-650).
Home to Australian National University (ANU), Canberra is Australia's capital city. It's actually far smaller than Melbourne, both overall and in terms of its student population, which helps to make this city a somewhat calmer place to live. This could be a good or bad thing, depending on your perspective and personal preferences!
However, as Australia's political hub, Canberra couldn't exactly be described as sleepy. During parliamentary sittings in particular, the city is alive with national politics. And while it may be one of the country's few major settlements further than stone's throw from a beach, Canberra boasts a different kind of natural attraction. Surrounded by mountains, hills and bush-land, as much as half of Canberra itself is protected as natural park and reserve land – so if you're used to living in the countryside, Canberra may be the place where you'd feel more at home.
Aside from ANU, Canberra is also home to the University of Canberra, which is ranked 551-600 in the QS World University Rankings. The city itself is ranked 17th in the QS Best Student Cities 2016, and continues to improve its place in the index year on year.
Student community
The University of Melbourne is over double the size in terms of student community, with 45,411 students in total, including 15,208 international students. That means internationals account for around a third of the student population, reflected in the university's high score in the international student ratio category of the rankings.ANU had 22,500 students as of 2015, while statistics from 2013 show a fairly equal divide of undergraduate (10,052) and postgraduate (10,840) students. Of these, 5,590 were international students in 2013, which was 26% of the student population at the time.
Tuition fees and living costs
Based on the latest figures for incoming students in 2016, ANU and the University of Melbourne both offer the same costs for domestic students, thanks to the nation's commonwealth support scheme which allows Australian residents to make a smaller 'contribution' to their higher education costs, with the amount dependent on their chosen subject. Arts and humanities subjects (band 1) are typically the cheaper programs, while medical-related subjects, business and law programs (band 3) tend to be the most expensive.
International student fees are towards the upper end of the international spectrum, with tuition costs of around A$26,000-$38,000 (US$18,700-$27,400) at both schools. Again, medicine is the most expensive subject, with annual tuition fees of US$63,000 at the University of Melbourne.
Scholarships and funding
With such high tuition fees, prospective students will be pleased to learn that both the University of Melbourne and Australian National University offer scholarships for international students, with both offering online search tools to enable students to identify scholarships relevant to their particular situation.
There are also a number of government scholarships available to study in Australia, including the Australia Awards, aimed at students at all study levels from developing countries, and the Endeavour Postgraduate Scholarships. You can find more scholarships to study in Australia here.

Posted by Steve H.
My 18 year old son got a speeding ticket in April '11 in Collin County for going a ridiculous 103 MPH on George Bush (70 MPH). We hired J. Randall Stevens at a cost of $65 plus $150 due to the severity of the ticket, and J. Randall got the case dismissed!
I am still in shock that this ticket was dismissed. The fines and insurance premium hikes would have been well over $1,000!!
I have never hired an attorney for a speeding ticket in my life (I am 51) and I would recommend Randall Stevens to anyone!
Posted by Martin
my attorney didnt only save me hundreds on my fines, he gave me peace of mind!!! He was honest, professional, & worked fast!!! I can drive now without worries!!!!!
Posted by Jeff
Everytime i get a traffic ticket I call Mr. Stevens Office. I have yet to ever have one ticket show up on my record. It is very important that i don't have anything show up on my driving record, I have a C.D.L. I gurantee that if you need an Attorney Mr. Stevens is the one. I promise you wil love the outcome when it is all over. I can't say thank you enough to Mr. Stevens and all of the Staff at his office.
Posted by Michelle
I have (sheepishly) had to use Mr Stevens services for speeding tickets in the Dallas Forth Worth area over the last 10 years on several occasions. He is prompt, courteous, and from a client's standpoint.....was able to have all my tickets dismissed. I appreciate his professionalism and refer all my friends as needed.
Posted by Marquita
It has been over 20 years since I needed the assistance of an attorney. I asked another law professional who should I retain regardng my ticket. Without any hesitation the response was "Call Randy Stevens (J.Randell Stevens)!" Mr.Stevens provided excellent representation for my case. Not only was he great but also the administrative staff kept me informed on everything concerning my case and they were always polite and just a joy to work with
Posted by anonymous
Excellent, conscientious, hard-working attorney. Diligently handled my speeding ticket for a reasonable fee and had it dismissed. I refer all of my family and friends to J. Randell Stevens.
Posted by Tom
I have been using Gioffredi & Associates now for over 10 years and Mr. Stevens has helped me in the majority of the past cases as well as the current one and really knows the ins & outs of the system because he has never failed.
Posted by Greg
Randell was great had two tickets, both speeding, one was deferred and the other was speeding and his prices for his services in Dallas are great! Gal's in his office are also "SO NICE AND HELPFULL"
Posted by anonymous
His staff was great they took great care of me explained everything for me. As well one of my cases got dismissed and the other i got i minimum fine. He did a terrific job exceeded expectations in every way.
Posted by Richard Geyer
Thank you for your expertise with my case, You've made my Week!!! Thanks a million times over. I will recommend you for sure.

The Week in Review
There are cool things happening at Hilsman this week! Many students worked on finishing up their science fair projects. The Hilsman science fair will be held next Tuesday, December 17th. If you would like to view the science projects, they will be set up in our cafeteria. Parents and community members may visit the Science Fair Monday 12/16, from 2-4 PM, and Tuesday 12/17, from 11-2 PM. Here are a few photos of students working hard:
Additionally, several Hilsman students participated in an Hour of Code in the media center and in their classrooms! (http://code.org/educate/hoc) Several students designed their own animated holiday cards using Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu/). One student designed his own computer game and others learned processing (http://hello.processing.org/). Everyone should try out the free online tutorials for themselves! (code.org/learn)
Benchmarks: December 10-17Our Quarter Two benchmark assessments began this week and run through mid-next week. The schedule is below:
Monday, December 16th: Make ups
Tuesday, December 17th: Math
Wednesday, December 18th: Make ups
Thursday, December 19th: Make ups
Student Incentives
Over 200 students earned "uniform free day" incentives for performance in Quarter One. Today, we recognized these students and gave them wristbands good for Uniform Free Days during this last week of school before the break. The wristbands are color coded as follows:
Monday - Perfect Attendance: Orange
Tuesday - A/B Honor Roll: Yellow
Wednesday - A Honor Roll: Green
Thursday: Pride of the Panther: Festive
If your student did not receive their wristband today, or their name wasn't called and they believe they earned one, please have them email Dr. Blankenship or see Mrs. Brinkley on Monday morning. We are human and sometimes make a mistake, so if that happens we will make the correction!
December- Acts of Kindness Month
Throughout this month, we encourage the Hilsman community to commit intentional acts of kindness toward others. Sites like Random Acts of Kindness and Kindspring have lists of ideas to help you get started. You might even want to take the 21 Day Gratitude Challenge from Kindness.org. At Hilsman, each classroom will have a Grinch, and the goal will be to fill the Grinch with hearts that have our acts of kindness written on them. Please join us in helping to make our community a kinder place during the month of December.
Pax Panther is Coming to Hilsman!
The Hilsman administration and athletic program have had as a goal over the past several years to start a tradition of having a costumed mascot to attend sporting and other Hilsman events. At the same time, the Hilsman community has been searching for a way to remember our beloved Coach Paxson, who passed away two years ago November 4th. I am happy to announce that the PTO has graciously offered to help us raise the funds to purchase a top quality panther mascot costume! Additionally, we have decided to name our mascot Pax, to honor Coach Paxson's memory. Coach Paxson was a true Panther, and an avid sports fan. Not only is Pax a part of Coach Paxson's name, but also it is an international name that means "peace." As an IB candidate school, this name fits our mascot perfectly, and as a Hilsman family, we are honored that Coach Paxson's family has given their blessing to our naming Hilsman's mascot as a tribute to him. I hope you will join us in welcoming Pax Panther to Hilsman when he makes his debut, hopefully sometime early next year.
Update: The PTO will be selling wristbands that say "I support Pax Panther" when we return to school in January. The faster the wristbands are sold, the sooner Pax can take up residence at Hilsman!
