Many compliance practitioners struggle with the questions
of how to measure the effectiveness of their company's Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act (FCPA) compliance program. In the January-February 2010 issue of
the Harvard Business Review, authors Ramon
Casadesus-Masanell and Joan E. Ricart explore business model innovation in an
article entitled "How
to Design a Winning Business Model". While the article focuses on how
companies might compete more effectively through business models, they present
several key mechanisms which can be utilized by the FCPA practitioner in
helping to determine the effectiveness of a company's FCPA compliance program.
The authors looked to writer Joan Magretta for a definition of a business model
and cited her for the following "the story that explains how an enterprise
works". This can easily be adapted by the FCPA compliance practitioner into,
"the story of how your FCPA compliance program works". The reason being is that
in its simplest form, a business model "consists of a set of managerial choices
and the consequences of those choices." The authors go onto to state that a
company makes three different types of choices when creating a business model,
they are 1) A Policy Choice to set the course the entire organization will
take; 2) The Asset Choice which relates to the resources a company will use to
deploy the policy; and finally 3) there is a Governmental Choice about which of
the first two choices are managed and governed.
For the FCPA practitioner, the authors list three characteristics of an
effective business model. They note that a good business model will meet all
three of the following, 1) Is your business model aligned with company goals?;
2) Is your business model self-reinforcing?; and 3) Is your business model
robust? These characteristics are easily translated into the compliance world
and can be used by the compliance practitioner in evaluating a company FCPA
compliance program.
I. Is your compliance program "aligned with your company's goals"?
This may seem basic, however the choices made in your
FCPA compliance program should deliver consequences which assist your
organization to achieve its compliance goals. This should start with your "Tone
at the Top" but it is also the "Tone in the Middle" and the actions of those
below in the organization. Moreover, such the communication and sustainment of
such goals must include third parties which a company does business with, and
business representatives through which a company conducts business, such as
third parties, agents, distributors, resellers, representatives, consultants,
joint ventures or consortia. All must all align with your FCPA compliance goals
and this alignment should also include vendors in the supply chain.
II. Is your compliance program
The choices that are made to create and promote an
effective FCPA compliance program should all complement one another. This means
that there must be reinforcement throughout the compliance program; both
negative and positive. If an employee violates the FCPA compliance program,
there must be clearly set out consequences for such action. These consequences
must be uniformly and fairly applied across the company. If a first offense of
making misrepresentations on an expense account is sufficient grounds for
termination in South America, then they should be sufficient grounds for
termination in North America as well. Conversely, there must be positive
consequences to employee actions, the company must promote and award those
employees' who conduct business in a manner consistent with the company's FCPA
compliance program.
III. Is your compliance program "robust"?
Just as a good business model must be adaptable to
sustain its effectiveness over time, a good compliance policy must be able to
adapt to changes in the compliance landscape. The key to this component is an
annual assessment of your company's FCPA compliance program to determine if
there are any areas which may need to be modified. A couple of clear examples
of this are (A) facilitation payments; and (B) UK subsidiaries or company
employees subject to the UK Bribery Act. As led by Transparency International
and the UK, many in the compliance arena are forcefully arguing for the removal
of the facilitation payment exception for bribery. Many companies ban such
payments in the compliance policy and require the same of those which do
business with them. The second area is if your company is subject to the UK
Bribery Act, which not only does not have any exception for facilitation
payments but also is broader than the FCPA in applying to private commercial
transactions, in addition to those involving foreign governmental officials.
Companies need to be aware of both developments and enhance their compliance
program to meet these evolving standards.
Authors Casadesus-Masanell and Ricart have provided a valuable guide for the
FCPA compliance practitioner to think through, in a logic manner, about how to
set up a compliance business model for a company.

In part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 and Part 4 of this series we learned all about e-mail encryption and how to download, install a program called GpG4win and create a security key and also how to send encrypted messages. If you haven't read the previous articles, check them out now.
In this final part, we will learn out to decrypt an encrypted message that's been sent to you.
As we mentioned before, in order for a person to send you an encrypted message, he needs first to have your public key certificate because he will use it to encrypt the message.
Remember: You are using your private key certificate to decrypt a message sent to you.
When receiving an encrypted message follow these steps to decrypt it:
- Open the email using MS Outlook,
- Go to the GpgOL tab in message Ribbon and click the "Decrypt" button.
3. A new dialog appears asking you to enter your passphrase in order to decrypt the message, enter it and click "Ok" to see you email decrypted.
4. If everything was "OK" and you entered the passphrase correctly, a success message will appears along with your email decrypted as follows:
In this tutorial I showed you how to install and use the main function of GpG4win encryption. In order to master this tool you need to practice it, so do this with your friends and begin sending and receiving encrypted emails!

Network Controller in Sony® VAIO E Series
A computer right now is not just a device that can be used to type documents and print them. There is so much more fucntionality in laptops like the Sony Vaio E Series that is just waiting to be recognized and revealed. Networking and connecting to the internet are two of the most important functions of the laptop right now. Without it, we feel incomplete. Since the Internet has become a mega sensation, we need a device that can help us connect. The Network Controller is a device that helps the user to connect to the Internet and make networking possible. Of course, there ar possible issues that could lead to the device not fucntioning well.
- The importance of the device
- Driver issues
- Hardware problems
The importance of the device
The network controller enables the Sony VAIO E Series to connect to a network. It has a phyical layer and it provides security using the MAC address. The MAC address is a form of low level addressing. Through the Network Controller, Sony VAIO E Series can connect using wired or wireless connections. We also call the Network Controller as the Ethernet card and with the help of this device we can gain connection to the outside world with ease. Of course a broadband subsctiption is needed to connect over the internet.
Driver issues
One of the possible issues regarding the Network Controller on Sony VAIO E Series would be driver issues. The driver is a software component that is necessary to effectively communicate software commands to the hardware. This means that if the driver is malfunctioning, it could lead to devastating results like system crashes. You need to update your drivers. Use 'Device manager' to check on the status of your device driver. If the Network Controller has no distress or warning symbol, it means the drivers are updated. If it has a symbol, then it means you need to do something about your Network Controller or you might not be able to connect.
If the hardware controller has issues witht the hardware it could mean that it has a factory defect or it was not installed properly. Check the installation and also check if you can detect the network controller via 'Device manager'. If not it means either the driver could be not installed properly or is loose or damaged.

Islamist fighters who captured a Christian village north of Damascus have moved 12 nuns to a nearby town in what may have been a kidnapping, the Vatican's ambassador to Syria said on Tuesday.
The militants took the ancient quarter of Maaloula on Monday after heavy fighting with government forces. Syrian state media said they were holding the nuns captive in the Greek Orthodox monastery of Mar Thecla.
Ambassador Mario Zenari told AFP that 12 Syrian and Lebanese Orthodox nuns had been abducted by rebels. All communications with the town have been cut since Monday, an AFP correspondent in Damascus said.
But pro-rebel sources cited by Reuters said the nuns were safe and that the real threat to them came from what they described as random Syrian army bombardment of Maaloula.
Zenari said that the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate had told him armed men had entered the monastery on Monday afternoon and believed that they had taken the nuns from Maaloula to Yabroud, about 20 kilometers (13 miles) to the north.
"They forced the sisters to evacuate and to follow them towards Yabroud. At this moment we cannot say if this is a kidnapping or an evacuation," he told Reuters by telephone from Damascus.
A military source told Syrian daily Al-Watan that government reinforcements were headed to Maaloula.
The fighting, which pits al-Qaeda-linked Al-Nusra Front fighters and other rebels against government forces, is part of a wider struggle for control of the Damascus-Homs highway in central Syria.
An official at the Greek Patriarchate confirmed that he believed the nuns were taken to Yabroud, but gave no details.
Syrian state television said Christians had held a service in Damascus on Monday to protest against the capture of the nuns and the kidnapping of two bishops near Aleppo in April.
The village was the scene of heavy fighting in September, when it changed hands four times in a series of attacks and counter-assaults by rebels and government forces.
Zenari said the nuns were among the last residents left in Maaloula after most fled south for relative safety in Damascus.

Now he flies at Sevier's riflemen, who had just made their way to the top of the hill.
Mr. Sevier was a descendant of the famous Tennesseean of that same name.
Now Shelby and Sevier, leading his Wataugans, had reached the summit.
The deer he had hunted back on the Sevier range were much smaller than these.
Sevier then turned southward into Georgia and inflicted a severe castigation on the tribes along the Coosa River.

A delegate from Sevier County objected to the word "white" and moved that it be stricken from the record.
Dr. Sevier turned his face quickly toward the window, and so remained.
An understanding of the history of the Sevier River Valley will probably clarify this distribution of pocket gophers.

Townsend, a 6-3, 285-pound defensive tackle, attended high school at San Jose (Calif.) Valley Christian and played one season (2006) at Los Altos Hills (Calif.) Foothill C.C.
In his one season at Foothill, Townsend was named first-team all-league in the Northern California Conference, recording 36 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, four sacks and 17 quarterback hurries. Foothill went 10-1 and won the Silicon Valley Bowl.
Townsend was ranked among the nation's top JuCo defensive tackles last year, earning a four-star status from Scout.com. He was also ranked the No. 18 JuCo player in the country by SuperPrep.
He originally signed in Feb. 2005 out of high school with Washington State, but spent 2005 trying to qualify and then headed to Foothill. After an impressive 2006 season, he was then recruited by Tar Heel assistant John Blake at Nebraska, and signed with Nebraska in Feb. 2007, but didn't qualify in time for enrollment and didn't play during the 2007 season.
Towsend had still planned to attend Nebraska until a late decision by the Cornhuskers.
"I didn't sign on Signing Day because I was committed to the University of Nebraska and then they decided they didn't want any JuCo players," Townsend said. "So they kind of left me with a month to try to find some schools. I looked around and everyone was pretty much full."
The prior connection with Blake enabled the two to re-connect.
"I knew Coach Blake when he recruited me [when he was at] Nebraska," Townsend said. "We called a close family friend of ours and he told us to call John Blake at the University of North Carolina. We called him and he kept in contact with me telling me to get my transcripts so that he could get everything set-up. He said he's very interested in me and knows I'm a good player. And then they sent me a letter-of-intent on Saturday."
Blake was the main reason that Townsend, who has never been to the state of North Carolina, decided to sign with UNC.
"When he was recruiting me at Nebraska we had a good connection and he puts guys in the NFL," Townsend said.
Kansas State, Hawaii, Oregon, and Texas A&M also pursued Townsend.
Townsend sat out both 2005 and 2007, and he now has three years of college eligibility remaining and no available redshirt season. He turned 20 years old in December.
His older brother, Larry Jr., lettered for the Huskers as a defensive tackle for Nebraska's national championship teams in 1994 and 1995.
Having received Townsend's Letter of Intent on Saturday, UNC will review the letter and make sure his documents and transcripts are all set. If everything is approved, the football program will then send out a press release announcing that he is officially signed.
Townsend said he will graduate in May and plans to enroll at UNC this summer.

The investment world is divided into owners (those who invest in equities, or stocks) and loaners (those who invest in debt, or bonds). Owning equity in a company is perhaps the most common and widely accessible means by which investors meet their financial objectives. Individual investors become owners of a publicly-traded company by purchasing stock in that company; by doing this, they can participate in the company's growth over time.
Investors may also choose to loan money to companies, governments or municipalities in return for regular interest payments and the eventual return of their principal at a given date in the future. They can purchase Treasuries from the U.S. government for safekeeping, municipal bonds from state or local municipalities across the country (or even as far away as Guam) to save taxes, or corporate bonds from a multitude of companies to provide a regular stream of income payments for retirement. Investment companies also buy these securities, albeit in greater quantities than the individual investor, to make up their mutual funds, which may appear in a variable annuity.
You may not know it, but when you keep your money in a money market account, you are actually lending your money in return for interest. The interest is small compared to other types of loans and you get your principal back very quickly, but you are still lending money.
The three basic types of investment securities are money market, debt (bonds) and equities (stock). Each of these is detailed in the sections below. Another way to classify securities is by the type of issuer. Corporations can issue both stocks and bonds. Governments (such as federal, state or municipalities) can issue either money markets or debt securities.

NRO Targets EPA In Its Misinformation Campaign Against Civil Rights Laws
Blog ››› ››› SERGIO MUNOZ
National Review Online misrepresented civil rights precedent to attack the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), continuing right-wing media's campaign against the validity of a long-standing civil rights doctrine that prohibits certain racial discrimination.
Right-wing media have repeatedly stated their intense dislike of the effective civil rights doctrine of "disparate impact" analysis, a type of anti-discrimination protection that can prohibit seemingly neutral law and policy that has a disproportionate effect on certain groups. For example, its use in the context of fair housing law on behalf of victims of color - unanimously recognized as legal by appellate courts - has been consistently attacked by both NRO and the Wall Street Journal, an attack that has shifted to the use of the doctrine by Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez, current Labor Secretary nominee.
In addition to fair housing, in which the doctrine has resulted in significant settlements from banks that engaged in predatory loaning and related discrimination, compliance with disparate impact law has also been identified as a way for the EPA to ameliorate environmental actions that have a disproportionate effect on communities of color. This "environmental justice" approach was recently criticized by NRO as "wacky," dubious," and "inconsistent" with Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act:
[T]he Obama administration has taken the already-wacky concept of "environmental justice" to even-wackier extremes. The basic idea here is that whether pollution is illegal or not can depend on whether its possible victims reflect a politically correct racial balance.
Now EPA has made it "significantly easier for environmental groups to establish" a violation under this dubious approach to the law....And, what's still more, the whole approach is inconsistent with the underlying statute involved, Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Despite the NRO's antipathy to the disparate impact doctrine, it is currently constitutional for the government to utilize it in both the fair housing and environmental justice contexts, consistent with Title VI. The EPA guidance NRO criticizes is a clarification of how administrative complaints are processed under the agency's constitutional Title VI enforcement powers. A bitterly split 2001 Supreme Court decision, Alexander v. Sandoval, that overturned precedent to eliminate private disparate impact lawsuits under Title VI, explicitly noted that it was not prohibiting agency enforcement under this title. As explained recently by a Congressional Research Service report:
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 generally prohibits discrimination in federally funded programs or activities. Section 601 states that "[n]o person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." Section 602 directs federal agencies that administer federally funded programs to implement the nondiscrimination provision through the promulgation of regulations and related enforcement proceedings. Agencies have issued regulations under Section 602 that prohibit actions with a discriminatory intent as well as actions with a discriminatory effect (also referred to as disparate impact).
[D]espite recognizing agencies' authority to issue Section 602 regulations to prevent disparate impact discrimination, the Court [in Sandoval] held that there was no private right of action under these regulations. Thus, since 2001, legal claims of discriminatory effect have been limited to the administrative complaint process.
Beyond the legal misinformation, NRO also trivialized the fact that environmental inequity on the basis of race is a documented problem. The Center for Disease Control recently confirmed that air pollution, for example, affects Latinos (and Asian-Americans) significantly more than other racial and ethnic groups, due to the fact that "close to 50 percent of all Hispanic- Americans live in counties that frequently violate groundlevel ozone standards."
Furthermore, the principles of environmental justice that seek to alleviate this harm are not radical new initiatives of the Obama administration. The EPA has identified the importance of environmental justice for over two decades, begining with the administration of former President George H.W. Bush. From the 1992 EPA report, Environmental Equity: Reducing Risks For All Communities:
Among the findings were that there are clear differences between racial groups in terms of disease and death rates; racial minority and low-income populations experience higher than average exposures to selected air pollutants, hazardous waste facilities, contaminated fish and agricultural pesticides in the workplace; and great opportunities exist for EPA and other government agencies to improve communication about environmental problems with members of low-income and racial minority groups.
Among the recommendations in the report are that EPA should increase the priority that it gives to issues of environmental equity; identify and target opportunities to reduce high concentrations of risk to specific population groups; and increase efforts to involve racial minority and low-income communities in environmental policy-making.
"EPA's basic goal is to make certain that the consequences of environmental pollution should not be borne unequally by any segment of the population," said EPA Administrator William K. Reilly. "EPA has a responsibility to identify and target these populations."

��meant a uniform rate of slower time, so that the whole passage marked ritcnuto would be taken at the same time, while each bar and each phrase in a passage marked rallentando would be a little slower than the one before it. That there exists a difference in their uses is conclusively proved by a passage in the Quartet op. 131 of Beethoven, where in the 7th movement (allegro) a phrase of three recurring minims, which is repeated in all five times, has the direction ' Espressivo, poco ri- tenuto' for its first three appearances, which are separated by two bars a tempo, and for the last two times has ritardando, which at length leads into the real a tempo, of which the former separ- ating fragments were but a presage. This is one of the very rare instances of the use of the word ritenuto by Beethoven. The conclusion from it is confirmed by a passage in Chopin's Rondo, op. 1 6, consisting of the four bars which im- mediately precede the entry of the second subject. Here the first two bars consist of a fragment of a preceding figure which is repeated, so that both these bars are exactly the same ; the last two bars however have a little chromatic cadence leading into the second subject. The direction over the first two bars is 'poco ritenuto' and over the last two ' rallentando,' by which we may be quite sure that the composer intended the repeated fragment to be played at the same speed in each bar, and the chromatic cadence to be slackened gradually.
Ritenente is used by Beethoven in the PF. Sonata, op. no, about the middle of the first movement, and again in the Sonata, op. in, in the first movement, in the seventh and fif- teenth bars from the beginning of the Allegro con brio. It would seem that the same effect is intended as if ' ritenuto ' were employed ; in each case, the words ' meno mosso ' might have been used. Beethoven prefers Ritardando to Rallentando, which latter is common only in his earlier works. [J.A.F.M.]
RAMANN, LINA, musical litterateur and educationist, was born at Mainstockheim, near Kitzingen, in Bavaria, June 24, 1833. Her turn for music and her determination to succeed were evident from a very early age. It was not, how- ever, till her seventeenth year that she had any instruction in music. At that time her parents removed to Leipzig, and from 1850 to 1853 she there enjoyed the advantage of pianoforte lessons from the wife of Dr. F. Brendel, herself formerly a scholar of Field's. From this period she adopted the career of a teacher of music, and studied assiduously, though without help, for that end.
In 1858 she opened an institute in Gliickstadt (Holstein) for the special training of music- mistresses, and maintained it till 1865, in which year she founded a more important establish- ment, the Music School at Niirnberg, in con- junction with Frau Ida Volkmann of Tilsit, and assisted by a staff of superior teachers, under MissRamann's own superintendence. With a view to the special object of her life she has published two works ' Die Musik als Gegenstand der Erziehung' (Leipzig, Merseburger, 1868), and
'Allgemeine Erzieh- und Unterrichts-lehre der Jtigend' (Leipzig, H. Schmidt, 1869 ; 2nd ed. 1873), which were both received with favour by the German Press. Since 1860 Miss Ramann has been musical correspondent of the Hamburg ' Jahreszeiten.' A volume of her essays con- tributed to that paper has been collected and published, under the title of ' Aus der Gegenwart' (Nurnberg, Schmid, 1868). In the early part of 1880 she published a study of Liszt's 'Christus' (Leipzig, Kahnt), and later in the year the first volume of a Life of Liszt (1811-1840; Leipzig, Breitkopf & Hartel). This is an important work. It suffers somewhat from over- enthusiasm, but it is done with great care, minuteness, and intelli- gence, and has obviously profited largely by direct information from Liszt himself. Her cousin,
BRUNO RAMANN, was born about 1830 at Er- furt, and was brought up to commerce, but his desire and talent for music were so strong, that in 1857 or 58 he succeeded in getting rid of his business and put himself under Dr. F. Brendel and Riedel, for regular instruction. He then for five years studied under Hauptmann at Leipzig, and is now a resident teacher and composer at Dresden. His works have reached beyond op. 50, but they consist almost entirely of songs for one or more voices, and of small and apparently senti- mental pieces for the pianoforte. He does not appear yet to have attempted any large composition. [G.]
RAMEAU, JEAN PHILIPPE, eminent composer, and writer on the theory of music, born at Dijon, Sept. 25, 1683, in the house now No. 5 Rue St. Michel. His father, 1 Jean, was a musician, and organist of Dijon cathedral, in easy circum- stances. He intended Jean Philippe, the eldest of his three sons, to be a magistrate, but his strong vocation for music and obstinacy of character frustrated these views. According to his biographers he played the clavecin at seven, and read at sight any piece of music put before him: music indeed absorbed him to such an extent when at the Jesuit College that he neg- lected his classical studies, and was altogether so refractory that his parents were requested to remove him. Henceforth he never opened a book, unless it were a musical treatise. He quickly mastered the clavecin, and studied the organ and violin with success, but there was no master in Dijon capable of teaching him to write music, and he was left to discover for himself the laws of harmony and composition.
At the age of 1 7 he fell in love with a young widow in the neighbourhood, who indirectly did him good service, since the shame which he felt at the bad spelling of his letters drove him to write correctly. To break off this acquaintance his father sent him, in 1701, to Italy, where how- ever he did not remain long, a mistake which, in after life, he regretted. He liked Milan, and indeed the attractions of so great a centre of music must have been great ; but for some un- known reason he soon left with a theatrical manager whom he accompanied ns first violin to Marseilles, Lyons, Nimes, Montpellier, and

Retirement Needs, Part 3
Developing a goal
by Ann Coleman (TMF email@example.com)
Reston, VA (July 2, 1999) -- Most of us are either future or current retirees. Oh, you don't think of yourself that way, Stud? Hey, I don't blame you a bit. If it helps, don't think of it as retirement, think of it as "living off your investments." That has a nice ring to it.
Right now we are in an unprecedentedly fantastic market that is making early and/or more comfortable retirement possible for a larger percentage of the popular than ever before. Don't ask me how much longer it will last. I have no idea, but there are good reasons to believe that the current boom is not going away soon. With a little luck (cross your fingers), you can translate today's good times into a far more comfortable retirement than us working stiffs ever expected.
But first I need to make an apology. Tuesday I printed an e-mail from a reader to illustrate how carefully one needs to think about retirement needs. The writer was pointing out that when you are retired you will have more time for activities and for some people, those activities can cost quite a bit. Unthinkingly, he said, "Unless you are crippled you will want to do something with that time." I don't know how I could have let that slip by. It's not the writer's fault -- he was writing to me off the cuff, and not thinking about a wide audience. I am sure his intent was simply to point out that anyone who is able to enjoy life will have more time to spend enjoying it when they are retired. Only one very kind person wrote in to explain my stupidity to me, but I am sure I owe you all an apology for that gaffe.
For the last two days we've been talking about coming up with some kind of reasonable annual income figure (in today's dollars) for your post-retirement spending needs. I've been offering rather general suggestions about that figure because I firmly believe that you are the best person to assess your own needs. Today I am going to give you one simple illustration of how to turn that figure into a goal.
Your goal is the stash you need to accumulate before you can make your break from the 9-to-5 world. I've been saying for two days that much retirement planning advice is too generalized and that you shouldn't rely on rules like your post-retirement income will need to be 70% of your pre-retirement income or you will need X dollars based on a certain life expectancy. Today I will give you a general rule that works pretty well for estimating your goal, and next week we will talk about how to get there.
OK -- you have your post-retirement, gross annual income figure in mind, right? Here's the drill. First, multiply by 20. Now, how many years are there between now you your retirement (pardon me, the year in which you begin to live off your investments)? Got it? OK, get out your calculator and multiply that income*20 figure by 1.02. Multiply the answer by 1.02 and keep multiplying the answer by 1.02 for as many times as you have working years left.
If you have a calculator that will do exponential operations (the Windows calculator will do it in Scientific View using the x^y key), just multiply your annual income figure by 20 then multiply by 1.02^Y where y is the number of years to retirement. Either way works.
That's your inflation-adjusted savings goal. Looks HUGE, doesn't it? You've probably noticed that I am using a low figure for inflation. If you want to up it, you can use 1.03 (for 3% per year) or 1.04 (for 4 per cent per year). The longer you plan to work before retirement, the more likely it is that inflation will average higher than 2% per year. But if you have lots of time for planning, you can also plan to minimize inflation's impact by seeing to it that your housing is paid for by the time you retire and that much of the stuff that we all love to accumulate is already accumulated.
Next Thursday we will talk about how to reach that goal. In the meantime, have a fun Fourth of July and don't worry and fret about that number. One of the nicest things about investments is how they appear to grow slowly at first but snowball once they get going.

Tellarites are short humanoids from the planet Tellar. They have stubby noses and a very argumentative personality. They were one of the founding races of the United Federation of Planets, along with Humans, Andorians, and Vulcans.
Tellarites are a player race in Star Trek Online for the Federation faction. The race is unlocked for all players starting with Season 5.
Physical features[edit | edit source]
Tellarites are a stout porcine species with a distinguished snout. Sometimes they have hoof-like hands and feet. Their skin is pinkish-brown and coarse, and normally heavily covered with hair, so males tend to be bearded. Tellarites have a higher average body temperature relative to humans. They also have a greater perception of distance, dimension, and depth.
Other information[edit | edit source]
Tellarites possess a stubborn pride and arguing is practically a sport on their homeworld. An argument is initiated by either a series of complaints or an insult. They enjoy mud baths and consider canine to be a delicacy. Among their strengths is a talent for engineering.
Traits[edit | edit source]
- Species trait: Tellarites are known to be stubborn and prideful, and they have strong emotional responses. Tellarites' pig-headedness gives them resistance to Physical and Kinetic damage, and makes Placate, Hold, and Knockback effects less effective on them. Tellarites' stubbornness also allows them to break free from Confuse and Placate effects with great effort.
- On Ground: +Res (Physical, Kinetic), +Res (Placate, Hold, Knock)
- 50% chance for +20% All Damage for 20 sec when receiving a critical hit.
- On Ground: Click "Stubborn" to free yourself from Confuse and Placate effects.

The couple had dated for three years before splitting in June of this year, but the couple were rumored to have rekindled their romance in late last month.

The District Administrator licensure program is a 21-credit program that leads to certification for the Superintendency license in the state of Wisconsin.
The District Administrator licensure program leads to certification for the Superintendency license in the state of Wisconsin. The 21-credit program can be completed in 14 months and is delivered in an accelerated cohort model. Classes are offered one or two weekends per month, enabling students to pursue this licensure while simultaneously continuing their careers. The faculty is a mix of doctoral faculty and practicing and retired superintendents.
The program emphasizes effective, moral leadership from the superintendent perspective, district economics and finance, working with the school board, leading the learning organization, and a thorough understanding of the standards for teachers and administrators.
The District Administrator Licensure program is designed for working professionals currently holding school administrator positions. The cohort model provides a diverse forum for discussion and a rich, ongoing professional environment for learning. This program offers students enrichment and practicum opportunities in addition to class meetings. Students develop teams, which meet between class sessions to provide additional study and preparation time and to extend the professional conversation.
A practicum of several months provides each student with superintendent experiences under the guidance and supervision of a practicing superintendent and a Cardinal Stritch University supervisor. The practicum provides the full range of experiences so the student is familiar with the superintendent role in all of its leadership aspects. The DPI Administrator Standards serve as a guide for the practicum.
All 21 credits earned in the District Administrator Licensure program transfer into our Doctorate in Leadership programs, so graduates can earn the first third of an Ed.D. or Ph.D. while working toward their District Administrator License. Program faculty are practitioners as well as expert instructors and Stritch has a very high job placement success rate. Currently there are approximately 57 superintendents in the greater Midwest that are graduates of Stritch.
To qualify for admission to the District Administrator Licensure Program at Cardinal Stritch University, students must have:
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
Students, families, and employers know Stritch as a university that helps students find their mission, develop new skills, gain relevant career experience, and expand their professional networks. With a network of more than 34,000 graduates, our alumni are successful in their roles at nonprofits, schools, small companies, health care organizations, corporations, and entrepreneurial ventures.

Here is a brief description of my circumstances. If anyone can shed any light on this for me, please do!I was taken on to work as a contractor at a large organisation (LA), by a preferred supplier recruitment consultancy (RC). RC bills LA for my services on a weekly basis.When I first started with LA I stayed with the umbrella company I had used in my previous contractor role. So the umbrella billed RC, who in turn bill LA.Now, instead of using an umbrella company I have set up my own limited company. So now Gugster Ltd bills RC, who in turn bills LA.Many of the IR35 questions point me in the direction of being a quasi-employee of LA, e.g. I go to their building, use the resources they provide, and go home at the end of the day like the official employees. However, if there was no limited company and no RC, I would still be on a contractor basis and not a full time employee, as the role is not a permanent one (although it is rolling 3 months and could be so for as long as a year).I'm have no intention of trying to wriggle out of paying tax and NI, I just don't want to do the wrong things and be faced with fines I could otherwise avoid. The fact that it's a temp role and the additional intermediary of the RC just muddies the waters for me a bit. Can anyone offer guidance here?
IR 35 was a very hot topic at one point but I gather it has gone somewhat out of fashion for the Revenue (others may comment differently)There are several tests that the Revenue use around IR35; all are directed at determining whether you are, in fact, an employee.They consider all of them and judge on the weight of evidence.One is length of contract - at a year I would expect you to be safe (but there are no guarantees).You would be even safer though if your Ltd Company could undertake work and bill other clients.I assume you are working to a Service Contract; this would ideally specify that Gugster Limited can provide whichever personnel it determines to undertake the work (even if the client has a right of veto), it should not in any circumstances specify that Mr Gugster is undertaking the work.Some other precautions would be NOT having your own office; NOT appearing in the Internal Phone Book; NOT using a mobile that they provide: NOT having a designated Parking Space; NOT using their equipment; I'm sure you get the picture.I expect you'll receive some more advice shortlyHTH
Another couple of things which may affect my status are that I don't receive holiday pay from the organisation, or any other non cash benefits e.g medical insurance, pension etc.. I charge a daily rate and I receive this for the days that I work, no more and no less.On the down side, I am named in the contract as being the person who will provide the services.
It's probably impossible to give any concrete help one way or another as this is such a grey area.Perhaps using the inland revenue employment status indicator is a good place to start and also ensuring contracts are as IR35 friendly as possible would seem a sensible option.Also have a look at the PCG website for further advise if you have not done so already.http://www.pcg.org.uk/cms/index.php?option=com_content&v...Unfortunately if you are caught by IR35 the penalties imposed will be huge in comparison to the amount of tax you save by trading as a limited company - so proceed with caution.I would not proceed on the basis that just because a contract is for shortish duration IR35 will likely not apply.There are alot of circumstances where employees are also taken on for short periods.Finally as Glorious points out so clearly whatever you do don't give the false impression that you are an employees when you are not !!!
Can anyone offer guidance here?Employment status is a duck test.If it looks like one and quacks like one, then it probably is one.It doesn't really matter what the paperwork says. It matters how people treat you.For me the acid test is this. If you'd worked up in a morning and faced an afternoon of twiddling your thumbs because the next bit of work is blocked waiting for something or other, could you decide not to bill for the afternoon and go golfing instead?NeilW
Gugster,I think you are getting some good advice here.Just to be clear I think being named on the Contract/Services Agreement is not ideal, but would not trigger a problem (in isolation)I assume you have signed their Agreement? I normally have my Clients sign mine; but it's not the end of the world.If you have a good workable relationship with the Client and it won't cause waves, would they reissue in the name of Gugster Limited? If not, don't sweat it.I still think, from experience, that the duration of the Contract would also matter.Again from experience, 12 months won't be a problem, 7 years could well be but I've known someone defend even that successfully. Again though I emphasise that the Revenue would look at all tests as they make their judgement and not anyone in isolation.Billing other clients, during, before or after your assignment will help greatly.
So the test would be for the IR inspector to take a look at you and see if you look like a duck or just a contractor with a large bill...I'll get my coat!John
Ultimately there is only one person who decides whether you fall foul of IR35 and that is the tax man. If you ask him up front, there's a fair chance he will lazily say you're caught with barely a glance at your contract - so that's not a good idea! :-) So all you can reasonably do is get someone qualified to assess your status - fortunately there are a range of options here, from former tax inspectors to tax lawyers. Charges vary and some also offer insurance against their decision such that they will cover your legal costs and even potential tax bills. If you don't have a documented assessment of your status for each contract, you have not justified avoiding the IR35 legislation and I understand the revenue can (have?) add fines to the backdated taxes and interest penalties they recover.As for the comments in the thread so far I'm not sure I agree with all of them in terms of what is most relevant. The length of contract, in my opinion, is almost irrelevant. The time spent at one client is also now considered pretty irrelevant. The things you want in your contract are business-like terms rather than employment-like terms - so whilst it's acceptable that you might be named as the initial person providing the services, your contract should have provisions for allowing your company to substitute you with anyone else of a similar experience. There should be no mutuality of obligation - if the work isn't there, or you don't like it, could you and would you go home? Using client equipment is usually mandatory at larger clients due to security - something that can be documented.As NeilW says, the duck test is really how you behave - although the precursor to this is getting a contract that reflects your intentions! Having a 3 month rolling contract suggests you and the client are both viewing this as an ongoing "do what work turns up" arrangement, which is not very IR35-friendly. It is generally preferable to have a project-based contract where you are contracted to do a given project with an estimated completion date. Otherwise, how exactly have you defined the services your company is providing to the client?Ultimately you should get your contract reviewed and consider taking out insurance. You can also look at defensive practices such as closing down your Ltd Co after a period of time.Hope that helps - FYI there is a lot of discussion on the IT Contactors board so you might want to look through some old threads there.Cheers-luckyjonah.
Visit the Professional Contractors Group website - all the guidance you could possibly need is there.
Recs all round. Many thanks for all your answers. THe work I do is not in IT though for these purposes I don't this this will matter, so I shall have a peek over at the other suggested boards.

Sixty five years ago as Japan surrendered chaos reigned in China, Manchuria and Korea. Russian soldiers swept through Manchuria as Japanese soldiers surrendered while in the South American troops landed to assume control of the country. Russian and Army commanders agreed to halt their armies at the 38th parallel in order to avoid confusion. This accidental decision resulted in formation of a Communist government in North Korea and a pro-American government in South Korea. Sixty years ago this month, North Korean soldiers invaded South Korea in what would be named, the Korean War. After three years of fighting, both sides agreed on a temporary truce, but this "temporary truce" has lasted over a half a century leaving the peninsula divided. We who served in the US armed forces during this war are the forgotten veterans of American history. Few films have been made, and few high school teachers give other than a passing mention to the first limited war in our history. It was the first war in which military leaders recognized the full power of America could not be employed in order to avoid plunging the world into a terrible world war. We held back in hope eventually the Soviet Union would end communism and China would moderate its brand of communism.
We forgotten soldiers never returned to celebration or to hatred, we simply were ignored by our contemporaries and future generations. However, it was during our watch the American armed forces were integrated, it was during our service massive war was avoided, and we helped create the nation of South Korea and ensured Japan could continue its economic and political revival.
I sometimes wish Vietnam soldiers had met our indifference. Of course, the slogan of American soldiers during the Korean War was symbolic: "that's the way the ball bounces, sometimes she goes up, sometimes she goes down."

Please stop with the sales pitch whining.
Doing it in every short video clip is excessive and plain desperate.
Its like watching an ad before a video and the ad is longer then the video, which pisses most people off, including me.
So stop with the video ads and just put a link to your book in the video description section, if people are interested they will click it.
Interesting point. So far you are the only person to mention this but if more people give similar feedback I will certainly consider it.

2014 Jeep Cherokee review by Edmunds
In Moab Utah. :cool:
Personally I wish they would stop with the comparisons to the older Cherokee. It's not really replacing the Cherokee, it replaces the Liberty (admitted called the Cherokee overseas, but I don't think that's what they are talking about here.)
It is apples and oranges... the original Cherokee was from a different time and place.
Mostly good points... if you want to serious off road go to a Wrangler (and you won't have any Jeep purist anxiety attacks over its styling).
I think the quality and styling will get a lot of people looking.
They test drove a TH and then apparently compared its on road manners to a CX 5 or Escape. Even if a 2wd CH is softer in turns then the other two... it isn't something a good pair of sport shocks won't change. You could tighten up a TH for on road driving but you can't convert a SUV from any other company to do what this thing can. That is a point that should be "driven" home.
I haven't seen any comparisons between this and the Liberty off-road. If anyone has thoughts on the Liberty's off-road capabilities I'd love to see them. I've never seen a Liberty off-road.
The Trailhawk is better off road. A few people have lifted/modified Liberties but there isn't much comparison.
2014 cherokee
I'm considering buying this new verson of the Cherokee Lattitude. I'm puzzeled at the change in the final gear ratio when adding the tow package. They are going from a 373 final to a 351 final. What benifit will that bring to the car ?? If anything made sense they should go to a 410 !!. When the 4 cyl .motor is used there will not be enough power available in the mountains with the 351 final.
Also you can not buy the Trailhawk for the published base price. I tried and was told that the option of interior leather package @ $1295.00 and the decal option @ $150.00 was required .
If they will not allow you to order the Trailhawk without those options then they should reprice the vehivle and increase the base price. It is a blatent misrepresentation of the actual sales price. When I questioned it with Jeep they told me to read the legal section of their priceing guidelines and they could do whatever they wanted . My response was if you believe that publishing prices that can not be honered then so be it !!.
The gear ratio issue is probably an issue with the online configurator. I noticed a couple of other discrepancies, that did not match the published information or my personal experience when I placed my order.
It also may be that adding the tow package to the 4 Cyl. does not change the gear ratio at all. There is a note in the information for the package that says it may not apply to all configurations. This is right next to the gear ratio in the notice.
