Jewels Jade – Jewels Jade Interracial at Blacks On Cougars
December 09,2016
Meet Jewels Jade, Realtor. She's arranged a meeting to inspect a house that she would love to list. It's big, has a great view, and the owners are motivated to sell. As she conducted her walk-through, she kept thinking to herself, "I've seen this place somewhere before!" It's when she finally sits down with the homeowners that she makes the realization: this is a home where pornographic movies have been made! Who does she know? Jewels and her Hubby love dirty movies! In the midst of negotiating a sales commission, Jewels decided to give up all three holes in order to secure the listing. For Jewels, it was a snap: she's a cheater and loves fucking black men behind Hubby's back. Speaking of black men, watch these two take Jewels, make her cunt squirt, then double-stuff her before dropping large loads right down her throat. Jewels walked out with the listing…and some stretched-out holes!

Pio Cesare Barbaresco 2006
Nebbiolo from Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
A very classic Barbaresco, elegant with ripe and spicy fruit, great depth and complexity. The mild and ripe tannins provide this wine with gentleness and finesse, but also strength and opulence. Very long ageing potential.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2006 Barbaresco is an attractive, mid-weight wine. Red berries, sweet spices and crushed flowers are some of the nuances that emerge from this plump, juicy Barbaresco. With a little air, this is already drinking quite nicely. Sweet notes from new oak linger on the pretty finish. The Barbaresco is aged in a combination of 65% cask and 35% smaller French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022."
International Wine Cellar - "Good full, deep red. Complex aromas of plum, mocha, spices, coffee and dried flowers. Lush, sweet and deep, with more mineral lift than the 2005 version. Finishes quite dry and firm, with good grip and serious tannins that arrive late and build. This wine struck me as the most classically dry of Pio Cesare's 2006 Barbarescos and Barolos."
Pio Cesare Winery
Pio Cesare has been producing wine for more than 100 years and through generations. The tradition began in 1881, when Pio Cesare started gathering grapes in his vineyards and purchasing those of some selected and reliable farmers in the hills of Barolo and Barbaresco districts.
At Pio Cesare, there has always been a conviction that great wine can come only from the finest grapes and the winery's output has always been limited through adherence to the highest standards. Pio Cesare limits its production by using only the most mature and healthy grapes. The ripening of the grapes is carefully monitored and the harvest is rigidly controlled with each grape selected by hand.
Today, the estate is managed by Pio Boffa, great-grandson of Pio Cesare. Under his stewardship, the wines of Pio Cesare have become famous throughout the world. Great strides have been made in quality, and single vineyard offerings have dazzled the wine press. View all Pio Cesare Wines
About PiedmontView a map of Piedmont wineries (PEED-mont)
Notable FactsNot just regulated to red wine, Piedmont also produces some notable whites, particularly those near the district of Gavi and Asti. Gavi produces still white wine from the Cortese grape. The wine is dry with a crisp, citrus-like acidity – fairly neutral but pleasant. Arneis is another grape/wine made in the area, creating a fuller wine that displays some nuttiness in the aroma and taste. Asti is well known for its sparkling wine – in particular Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti. Asti Spumante is typically higher in alcohol, sweetness & fizziness, while its higher-class cousin, Mostcato d'Asti, contains lower alcohol levels, a few less bubbles, and a more restrained and delicate representation of Moscato fruit.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

The Real Life Hero
I don't think I have one...
I have thousands of ! But it depends in which domain : in sport, music, in politics (actually not really), etc..
John Lennon
We can remember John Lennon as a peace maker : for the reason that he was an activist in the Vietnam war, where the UK had nothing to do in. It was the pacifist hippy action, which had as slogan "Peace & Love". John Lennon was a "hippy" and he wrote and sang "Imagine", a soft rock song, which is still the first most downloaded song on Internet ! This song clearly explains John Lennon's point of view on the actual world, by suggesting a wonderful one, using "Imagine", as if it was a kind of dream. Imagine hurt millions of people who joined this cause, and with non-violent demonstrations and some other ways, led to political discussions between Northern and Southern Vietnams, to make them reunify !

Challenges and choices in post-crisis East-Asia: simulations of investment policy reform in an intertemporal, global model
The East Asian financial crisis exposed the problems of excessive government intervention in credit allocation and poor supervision of the banking system. We argue that the crisis is an opportunity to reformulate the strategies of growth by way of eliminating politicized intervention on investment. In an intertemporal general equilibrium model, we examine the adjustment processes of the crisis-hit region and the world economies, and investigate the removal of the investment subsidies. Our results suggest that the immediate impact of the crisis on the Asian economies is a contraction of GDP and investment. We also find significant welfare gains in the crisis-hit economies in response to elimination of the subsidies to firm's investment.

Autocompleted address widget:the google address engine also needs to capture the unit number for AustraliaAsked by Benflips on July 20, 2016 at 07:27 AMI've just done a submission to see the output, and you're right, it only had the 6 data fields. This is a major fault that needs to be fixed in this widget (hopefully asap).
It looks like, despite a profound amount of coding I asked for to customise this widget, I now have to revert to the more basic google address engine, because this data is lost.
If someone puts an address in, and it includes a unit number, that unit number MUST be captured.
I hope it can be fixed asap.
Please let me know, because as I say, if it won't be, I have to remove that widget completely
JotForm Support
I've also tested the autocomplete widget on a sample form and I also encountered the same issue on a cloned form.
Here is how it works on my side:
I have forwarded this to our developers to have it checked and fixed. Apologies for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience on this matter. We will update you on this thread as soon as this has been fixed. For now, I suggest you use our address field instead of autocompleted widget.
Basically all it needs, is a 7th box to be added to capture any unit number
separate from a street (house) number.
That will work for Australian addresses at least!

Thank you for providing basic info. I've updated your feature request as you see below:
For now, I recommend using a basic text field for unit number.You will be notified about it if they decide to implement it via this thread.

There's no such thing as an "inactive campaign" in public relations – there is either an active campaign or a dead campaign that needs to immediately be reconfigured. If you have an "inactive campaign" you think is just fine running on the rails, you're in serious trouble.
Why? Because just like everything else in life, you have to constantly work at a PR campaign. We've all seen pro athletes who go stagnant because they start to believe in their own hype. They grow a little soft, they stop practicing so much, and their performance suffers. Eventually, they're on the bench, wondering what in the world happened.
It's important to continually challenge yourself and your campaign or you'll go soft just like that pro athlete. Even though you think your campaign is just fine, it deserves a little tweaking to keep it fresh.
What Are You Missing?
When you look at the results of your campaign, you've probably always thought there was something missing. No matter how great you're doing and how much the numbers moved up there's always a little something you wish you could achieve. It's just that over time you forget those little things and concentrate on all the other results.
However, what could you do to achieve even more with your campaign? For example, if you've always wanted to capture a specific demographic but didn't think it was possible, now is the perfect time to strive for that goal.
Before, you may have been distracted getting the campaign off the ground and running smoothly. After this is all accomplished, you can nitpick it to make sure every aspect is working.
If It Ain't Broke…
But what about the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?" Will this ever apply to the campaign you're running? What if you amend something and ultimately end up breaking it?
The thing about PR is you will always be in a constant state of "broken." If public opinion about your product isn't dramatically shifting, then the way your customers prefer to be approached is. If that isn't swinging violently, something else in your campaign is changing.
You may even find that your normally complacent customers suddenly want a product LIKE yours that isn't exactly yours. Maybe they're convinced you're too "corporate" for them and they need a change.
In this case, you need to find out why this is happening, and fast. Moreover you must find out how to either sway their opinion back your way or change your approach altogether. If you start to think your PR isn't in a constant state of repair, you could be in for a nasty surprise around the corner.
What's the biggest shock you've ever encountered during a PR campaign?

Jesse McCartney Goes on Mystery Date (PHOTOS)
Who's that girl? Jesse McCartney and a mystery date turned heads at BOA Steakhouse Monday night as they left hand-in-hand.
Jess looked sharp in all black — dark wash jeans, black shirt, jacket and matching scarf. The nearly 24-year-old (his birthday is in April) and his lady friend appeared to be enjoying their night out, though it's worth noting the young star appears to be in the paws of a cougar!
The former child star is still making his voice heard in the industry with his voice over skills in the animated TV series Young Justice. As Celebuzz reported earlier, he's also writing a few songs for Justin Bieber's next album.

Plymouth, N.H.—Whether student, alumni, faculty, staff, guest or student family member, the 2010 Homecoming and Family Celebration at Plymouth State University October 1–3 will make you welcome and keep you busy.
|2009 Homecoming and Family Celebration
The hustle and bustle actually starts earlier in the week, with activities such as Homecoming Court voting, student banner contest, student trivia night and a lip sync contest putting students in the mood for a great weekend with their families, alumni, faculty, staff and members of the greater Plymouth community.
"If you are somehow a part of Plymouth State, past or present, we want you to participate, says Director of Alumni Relations Henry "Joe" Long. He says there simply are not enough weekends of reliable weather throughout the year to host the number of events and activities various constituencies on campus would like to hold, so combining Homecoming and Family weekends into a single larger event made good sense. "It's an opportunity for everyone to put on their PSU hat and celebrate our university," Long says. Last fall more than 4,000 people participated in Homecoming and Family Celebration.
Registration begins Friday, Oct. 1 from 4-8 p.m. in the Hartman Union Fireplace Lounge. Guests can pick up their reserved tickets, weekend schedule and information about local discounts.
At 8 p.m., student performers will present a Musical Theatre Showcase of popular works for music theatre and opera at the Silver Center.

Also at 8 p.m., Hawthorne Heights will make the only New England stop on their current tour promoting their album Skeletons.

If you remember the Cellar Pub or Biedermans, you won't want to miss Patti and Scott's 35th anniversary celebration of their businesses Friday at Biederman's Deli and Pub from 7–10 p.m.
The Panther Pub & Grill will pick up the action Friday from 9–11 p.m. at their Main Street location.

Student organizations will host activity tables, Mo the Clown will strut his stuff, and a DJ will keep the action lively with music while participants enjoy novelty games. Sodexo will also host a barbecue featuring locally grown and produced foods.
Saturday athletic events will include women's soccer vs. Western Connecticut State University at 11 a.m., field hockey vs. Eastern Connecticut State at 1 p.m., and football vs. Nichols College at 2 p.m.

The Kadison–Singer problem for the direct sum of matrix algebras
Open AccessArticle

Let Mn denote the algebra of complex n × n matrices and write M for the direct sum of the Mn. So a typical element of M has the form
where \({x_n \in M_n}\) and \({\|x\| = \sup_n\|x_n\|}\). We set \({D= \{\{x_n\}\in M: x_n\,{\rm is\,diagonal\,for\,all}\,N\}}\). We conjecture (contra Kadison and Singer in Am J Math 81:383–400, 1959) that every pure state of D extends uniquely to a pure state of M. This is known for the normal pure states of D, and we show that this is true for a (weak*) open, dense subset of all the singular pure states of D. We also show that (assuming the Continuum hypothesis) M has pure states that are not multiplicative on any maximal abelian *-subalgebra of M.

Iranian Dissidents Visit Israel, View Iran after the Nuclear Deal
After the Iran nuclear deal, a group of Iranian dissidents met with researchers at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs to discuss Iran in the post-agreement era, as part of the Center's long-term project analyzing the Iranian role in the Middle East. While the dissidents who visited Israel cannot be identified, two Israeli experts who met with them – Dr. Avi Davidi, Director of the Jerusalem Center's Iran project, and Brig.-Gen. (res.)

King Abdullah: Jordan Is Responsible for Arab Interests in Jerusalem, Not the Palestinians
King Abdullah of Jordan made some very strong statements against Jews going to the Temple Mount. Should Israel be concerned?
Jerusalem Center Arab Affairs analyst Pinhas Inbari noted: "I think that the Muqata in Ramallah should be more concerned than Israel because King Abdullah's main message was not against Israel, as strange as it may seem, it was against the Muqata in Ramallah, because King Abdullah of Jordan was representing the Palestinian problem instead of the PLO, and he mentioned his sole responsibility over Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa mosque, which is the role of the Palestinians, as far as they are perceiving their role in Jerusalem. And he did not mention the Palestinians in Jerusalem, but he mentioned the Arabs in Jerusalem, which means there is no legitimacy to the PA in Jerusalem." Read More »

The anti-Semitism issue is overshadowed by the many consequences of Brexit, which include a major crisis in Labour. Read More »
The Nature of Radical Islamic Warfare and the Western Response
What is "Islamic Warfare?"
* We in the West are in a war with Islam. It's not a religion; it's a civilization; it's a culture. The religion is part of the civilization.
* The goal of Islamic warfare is to terrorize the other side, that they become afraid and run away.
Why don't Western leaders see that?
* Because they refuse to.
* The American government … won't even use the word "Islamic terrorism" … If you don't identify your enemy you cannot defeat him. Read More »
How the West can Win
Why are the millions of Muslim refugees from Syria, Libya, and Yemen trying to get to Europe?
* A significant portion of refugees are young males – the high testosterone age, imbued with a spirit for making Europe into the world of Islam.
* The Muslims were stopped twice in their advancement on Europe. They got to Vienna twice (last time 1683) and they were stopped in Spain at the Pyrenees Mountains. Now the Muslims are taking the airplane around Vienna and they're skipping Spain. It is the resumption of the Islamic attempt to Islamify Europe. Read More »
European-Israel Relations
* When Abu Mazen gave his speech to the EU Assembly with his "anti-Semitic 14th century blood libel about Israelis poisoning Palestinian waters, nobody said a word; he even received a standing ovation."
* The recent Quartet/EU document shows two attitudes: the first says "Palestinian terrorism and incitement are a big obstacle to peace. Afterwards is the same old point about settlements which is the European fixation. That's a European mantra."
* Abu Mazen thinks "the Europeans will always be on his side…. The Europeans always vote together like a superstition. [The EU representative for foreign affairs] Federica Mogherini repeats all the time 'the unity, the unity, the unity of the EU.' Why do they say that? Because the unity is not there. The only kind of union they can repeat is the unity against Israel." Read More »
European Anti-Semitism
* We must never ignore that Europe has been an anti-Semitic continent, not only Germany and Italy.
* Europe never avoided fighting anti-Semitism after World War II.
* Now, anti-Semitism is connected to "Israelphobia."
* The EU was born to destroy borders, to overcome ethnic and religious identities. In the eyes of Europe, Israel is a country with borders, defends its borders, searching for roots, identity and has a strong religious drive …. Israel is always at war; "war" is a word that Europe cannot stand. Read More »

Canadian-born director James Cameron wrapped up a three-day tour of Alberta Wednesday. He toured the oil sands with industry, met with the premier and two opposition parties, as well as a leading academic and a host of first nations groups. When it was all over, Mr. Cameron appeared alongside the first nations groups and urged the Alberta government to do more to protect their land from pollution caused by oil sands development. He spoke with The Globe and Mail Wednesday afternoon.
By appearing here, are you effectively lending your name to the people of Fort Chipewyan who have long complained about water quality, in an effort to get them some more attention?
I don't know if you lend your name. I think you have to lend your energy. You're not lending, you give your energy, give your personal resources, in the sense that if I call a press conference and people show up, and I can do that in a way that's helpful to the plight of first nations people who really need that voice, I'm going to do it. As long as people keep showing up, why not?
Your visit was greeted with some hostility; namely, Wednesday's Edmonton Sun featured your photo on its front page above the word "Dipstick!" Some have suggested this is Hollywood eco-tourism. Were you surprised by that reaction?
Pretty surprised, pretty surprised. You know, I don't think it's just about me showing up here. I think it's the fact an outsider showed up to form an opinion. And I think everyone was leaning forward to find out what would happen there, what would oil say, what would government say, what would first nations say, what would the scientists say. Everyone had a story to tell and it was fascinating. And I want to be clear - I don't feel that I'm some independent arbitrator, you know, completely unbiased, coming down from some Tibetan mountaintop to arbitrate on this thing. I've got my own opinions. I don't want to say an agenda, because I didn't really come here with a strategy per se. But I did come here with a very, very strong set of opinions - you might even say passions - about what we need to be doing to save ourselves, and to save the natural world around us. Everything I learned I had to fit into that framework, and nothing that I saw challenged it. In fact, a lot of what I saw just reinforced that framework. You see the devastation of the surface mining around Fort McMurray, just north of Fort McMurray, you know, it's appalling. Then you see the efforts to restore that back to a mature boreal forest, and you see how difficult that is and certainly how expensive that's going to be.
You toured some of those reclaimed sites. Syncrude has a "fen," or a marsh, that it has reclaimed. Suncor lifted the curtain on its reclaimed Pond 1 last week.
Syncrude has a little patch, you know, I think in terms of certified reclaimed boreal forest, it's one per cent of the area disturbed. But you know, to complete that thought, it's all sort of appalling in its scope and scale. And then when you think it's two to three per cent of what it will be when the entire deposit, which covers a fifth of the province is mined one way or another through in situ or surface mining - You think, my God, you can't even get your mind around it. You cant even get your mind around what's going to happen here. On the other hand, you have to balance that against: well, you know, we need energy, no matter how optimistic one is about how quickly we can convert to a green, clean energy economy, we're going to still need oil for a while. It's just a question of if that's 10 years, 20 years, 30 years [away] And I would always [qualify]any of this with the given [fact]that I think it needs to be as quickly as possible by whatever means necessary. But even with that as a given, we still need oil. Why not have that oil come from Canada? And have Canadians benefit economically from that? Why not have Canadians be the saviours of North American oil security?Report Typo/Error

Published on May 26, 2016 Editor's Pick The Kia Soul hamsters are back to kick-off the summer season in another fun-filled ad from David & Goliath. The furry mascots long have been associated with thumping dance beats since they were introduced in 2009, but in this latest ad, they kick off a multi-genre musical duel with Nathaniel Rateliff, lead singer of the folk-soul R&B band Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats. The spot opens with Rateliff in the park plucking the opening notes of Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith's tune "Dueling Banjos," perhaps most infamously known as the backdrop to the dark story of the 1972 film "Deliverance."But the song is all about positivity in this ad. The Kia Hamsters happen by and one of them "responds" to Rateliff's challenge with his own banjo, leading into a full-blown performance by the hamster posse. That sets off a musical siren that beckons other musicians from around the city--percussion players, brass performers, even a sitar player--to come join in on the fun. The tag reads, "The World Needs More Soul." See how Kia and David and Goliath pulled it all off in the Behind the Scenes video. Rate this Ad You must be registered to rate the ad.

Lorene and Champion Dexter
I fell in love with Poms when I was a child. It was a dream of mine to adopt one someday, but I was 41 years old before my dream came true. I was lucky to receive sweet Shelby Lickie Lickie for a birthday present, and she became very special to me. I loved her so much that I searched everywhere to find a suitable mate for her. Four years later we found Dexter.
We didn't even know Dexter was show quality until a friend recognized it and suggested that we show him. I took a few classes to learn what needed to be done in the show ring, and Dexter did the rest. He pulled me around the ring and showed me how to do it. Then miraculously, he achieved his championship title after competing in just seven shows.

Market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has issued a show cause notice to HSBC for allegedly using fraudulent and unfair trade practices with its client, singer and actor Suchitra Krishnamoorthi. This case was first exposed by Moneylife way back in April in 2012
In a strongly-worded notice issued by the market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on 1st November has asked Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) to explain why its acts in handling the portfolio of Suchitra Krishnamoorthi are not in violation of its regulations governing fraudulent and unfair trade practices and violation of the code of conduct governing mutual fund distributors. After an extensive investigation of her complaint, SEBI found out that:
SEBI argues that this is in violation of SEBI (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices relating to Securities Market) Regulations, 2003 and SEBI circular MFD/CIR/06/210/2002 dated 26 June 2002 prescribed under Regulation 77 of the SEBI(Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 read with Clauses 1,9 and 13 of the Code of Conduct of Intermediaries of Mutual Funds.
Warning HSBC of a strong action, including but not limited to barring the lender from markets, SEBI called upon the Bank "to show cause as to why suitable directions under sections 11, 11(4) and 11B of the SEBI Act, 1992 read with regulation 11 of SEBI (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices relating to Securities Market) Regulations, 2003 should not be passed against you for the violations specified above, which may include but not limited to disgorgement of the commission earned by you from the complainant while executing transactions in her name, directing all the fund houses not to allow you to act as a mutual fund distributor for their funds, debarring you from accessing the securities market and prohibiting you from buying, selling or otherwise dealing in securities for an appropriate period of time and/or any suitable direction deem fit by the Board in the facts and circumstances of this case under the aforesaid provisions."
As Moneylife reported in April 2012, Ms Krishnamoorthi, a well-known singer and actor, was taken for a ride by HSBC Bank for over five years by promising an extravagant assured return of 24% from mutual funds as well as insurance.
Whenever she complained about losses in her account, the standard reply from HSBC Bank was that the relationship manager has been fired and that the bank will make up for the losses with judicious investments. Needless to say, the losses were never made good. The one-way road for the customer was downhill. If a well-known celebrity could be cheated with such impunity, it is surely happening routinely with others.
The modus operandi for HSBC in this case had been a combination of toxic churning of the portfolio management system (2% entry load on every purchase made by it on behalf of client), insurance products promising 24% returns, insisting on her taking a loan instead of withdrawing funds without even disclosing that the client was entitled for a smart loan.
The officers of HSBC Bank also informed her that "portfolio management is one of the prime businesses of HSBC Bank other than banking" and assured her "a minimum of 24% pa return" on her investments. However, following her complaint to the officials of the bank, she said that "HSBC Bank now claims that they have not acted as portfolio managers but merely advised me on the management of my wealth."
Ms Krishnmoorthi refutes this saying, "This is a false claim as they have clearly performed the duties of portfolio managers as stated by law and as per the power of attorney obtained from me in 2004."
Moneylife reviewed Ms Krishnamoorthi's mutual fund transactions and found massive malpractices by HSBC
• Her mutual fund portfolio was continuously churned resulting in high transaction costs in the form of entry loads and exit loads. While several transactions led to huge losses for her, HSBC was the gainer of commissions.
• Out of the 75 transactions made, nearly 60% of the transactions were in equity schemes kept for a period less than one year. Here investments were made in schemes like HSBC India Opportunity Fund and HSBC Mid-cap Equity Fund, both of which have been underperformers. Apart from these, majority of the investments were made in balanced schemes of HDFC Mutual Fund, ICICI Mutual Fund and Sundaram Mutual Fund.
• The worst part of the transactions came around the market peak in November 2007 where nearly Rs3 crore was invested across five schemes on a single day which included over Rs1.67 crore invested in three sector schemes—ICICI Prudential Infrastructure Fund, Sundaram CAPEX Opportunities and Reliance Diversified Power Sector. Nearly Rs50 lakh was invested in Sundaram CAPEX Opportunities which has a current corpus Rs200 crore.
• The investments from all sector schemes were withdrawn between June and August 2010 at a loss of nearly Rs40 lakh, almost half her initial investment. The schemes from ICICI Mutual Fund and Sundaram Mutual Fund went down by nearly 50%. The other schemes were also withdrawn at a value 15%-30% lower resulting in a total loss of Rs86 lakh. These schemes included JP Morgan India Equity Fund (a poorly-performing scheme) and IDFC Premier Equity Fund.
• Surprisingly, in the whole portfolio there was not a single debt scheme and just one liquid scheme— HSBC Cash Fund. Ironically, commissions paid on debt schemes and liquid schemes are much lower.
• Ms Krishnamoorthi says an entry load amounting to over Rs29 lakh was deducted from her investments. If the bank had opted to only invest her amount of Rs3.60 crore in performing equity schemes for the long term, without any further buying or selling, the entry load of 2% at that time would have worked out to just Rs7.20 lakh.
The end result after five years was Rs83 lakh—direct loss from investment, about Rs28 lakh in commission to HSBC, Rs8 lakh (50% of investment) lost from an insurance policy, Rs10 lakh (again, 50% of investment) valuation decline in insurance policy still in force, Rs4.5 lakh tax paid on redemption of short-term mutual funds (including Rs1.85 lakh penalty to the Income Tax department due to non-disclosure of gain by HSBC to the client) and Rs58 lakh interest on home loan earned by the bank.
When Ms Krishnamoorthi wished to surrender her insurance policies, HSBC refused to act for her by contending that they no longer had any tie-up with Tata AIG and that it was not their business to get client's money back that they had recommended in the first place.
"It took my chartered accountant six months to authenticate the figures of losses—as not only was the HSBC team adept at covering its paper trail. They also very conveniently refused/ evaded furnishing me the documents to which I am legally entitled for over a year—giving me one silly excuse after another like mismatch of signature/officers being on leave," she told Moneylife.
Unfortunately, in several such cases, banks tend to get away scot-free because the consumer is conned into signing a number of documents based on misplaced trust in their bankers. For instance when Ms Krishnamoorthi took her issue up with the Banking Ombudsman, the bank replied stating that she had signed on all the letter of instructions (LoIs) to carry out the transactions in her account. The manner in which bank officials discharge their fiduciary duties was not even taken into account.
On 18 April 2013 Moneylife Foundation had presented a memorandum to RBI Governor on unchecked mis-selling by bank relationship managers. It says, "Banks' relationship managers have been particularly brazen in recommending financial products to their customers while completely disregarding their financial situation. It is commonplace to hear of a senior citizen being conned into investing in a mutual fund, unit-linked insurance plan or a hybrid-derivative product on the promise of higher returns. In many cases, private bank executives go over to their homes and persuade them to break secure fixed deposits and invest the money in Unit Linked Insurance Products (ULIPs) with the false assurance that these are as safe as fixed deposits and offer a higher return and security."

Over the past nine years, just 48% of the new buildings in Mumbai were able to get occupation certificate, raising serious questions on the monitoring system of the BMC
Brihan Mumbai Municipal Corp (BMC), the country's richest local body with a Budget of about Rs27,000 crore does not have any system or infrastructure to keep an eye on builders. The BMC does not even know the exact number of buildings that do not have the occupation certificate (OC) in the city.
According to information procured by Anil Galgali through Right to Information (RTI) Act, over the past nine years, the BMC on an average received 1,597 new proposals from builders to construct buildings each year. However, out of this only 48% or 766 buildings were issued OC by the Municipal Corp, says Galgali.
During 2003-04 to 2012-13, the BMC received 14,370 new proposals. Out of this 9,841 were issued the intimation of disapproval (IOD) and 13,313 were issued the commencement certificate (CC). While 6,888 buildings received OCs, just 1,146 were able to get the building completion certificate (BCC) from the authorities.
Obtaining OC is an essential requirement under the MOFA (Maharashtra Ownership Flat Act) and the flat buyers cannot legally occupy the same, unless the developer or builder gets the OC. If the flats are occupied by the buyers without occupancy certificate, the Municipal authority can ask for eviction of their flats or have heavy penalties levied on them.
The markets suffered a massive bout of volatility today, rising and falling 180 points on the Nifty intraday. The bias remains weak until Nifty closes above 6,230.
On Wednesday, we predicted that Nifty may hit 6,260 but may not sustain it. This is exactly what happened on Thursday. The markets opened flat, without much fanfare and stayed flat through the first hour of trade. After that, it suddenly picked up pace and shot up, led by technology and metals, hit an intra-day high of 6,288.95. However, this was a pump-and-dump operation. The momentum didn't last long and Nifty fell precipitously after 1.30pm. It is the third consecutive session when the indices ended in the red.
The Sensex and the Nifty opened at 20,896 and 6,228, respectively. The Sensex moved up to the level of 21,142 before dropping off to 20,797, while the Nifty moved up to the level of 6,288 then dropped to as low as 6,180. The Sensex closed at 20,822 (down 72 points or 0.35%) while the Nifty closed at 6,187 (down 27 points or 0.45%).
The National Stock Exchange (NSE) recorded almost the same volumes as yesterday, with 68.46 crore shares trading hands. Of the 1,228 shares on the NSE, 396 advanced, 787 fell while 45 remained unchanged, signifying broad weakness and lack of depth.
All sectoral indices were in the red except for IT (up 1.28%), metals (up 0.75%) and pharma (marginally up by 0.06%). PSU Banks and Bank Nifty were the worst hit, down 3.54% and 2.10% respectively.
Of the 50 stocks on the Nifty, 18 ended in the green. The top five gainers were Tata Steel (4.28%); HCL Tech (2.03%); Hindalco (1.43%); Infosys (1.29%) and TCS (1.19%), while the top five losers were Bank of Baroda (-6.19%), DLF (4.71%), BHEL (4.10%), Axis Bank (3.78%) and BPCL (3.69%).
After a brief respite from this year's fall, the rupee once again went down, on demand from oil companies. The rupee (INR) hit a 6-week low against the US dollar, making it the worst performer in Asia. A Reuters poll revealed that the INR is unlikely to strengthen more. In order to stabilise the rupee, it is reported that PSU banks sold dollars on behalf of the RBI. At the same time, S&P, the ratings agency, affirmed India's sovereign at BBB-/A-3. Yet, it remains negative unless government manages to reverse growth.
Meanwhile in the US, markets continue to scale new heights. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at a record high on Wednesday. Traders are betting that the accommodative monetary condition will not change in the near future. More than this, there's newfound global hype over Twitter's IPO which has been set at $26 a share. However, all eyes are on US third quarter GDP data as well as jobless claims which is due to be released today.
European market players are sitting by the sidelines, waiting for European Central Bank and Bank of England to take action. European markets were seen flat ahead of the decision. Asian markets were down except for Taiwan, Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur. Hang Seng was down 0.68% while Nikkei was down 0.76%. US futures were trading in the red.

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a well‐described condition resulting from compression of the brachial plexus, subclavian artery and/or vein. Though symptoms of pain, numbness, tingling and signs of muscular weakness associated with this condition usually begin insidiously, on rare occasions the presentation is of acute onset and may represent an acute vascular compression. An unusual form of "effort" thrombosis of the subclavian vein may require emergency care in order to ensure controlled clot lysis and thrombus dissolution. Confirmation of subclavian thrombus is obtained by venography and makes use of real time videography to assess for venous flow impairment. Definitive treatment for the underlying cause of this form of TOS is first rib resection and scalenectomy. This case report presents a competitive swimmer who developed an acute onset of limb cyanosis and turgidity during swim training. Awareness of the possibility of acute thrombosis obstructing venous return and producing such signs and symptoms should lead the astute clinician to consider recommending contrast venography to assess the lesion and lead to appropriate medical intervention.
Shoulder pain from impingement syndrome is the most common musculoskeletal complaint among competitive swimmers. Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), though rare, has been reported on occasion among upper extremity athletes.1‐3 This disorder is characterized by compression of the subclavian artery, vein, or brachial plexus and may present as neurogenic TOS (brachial plexus involvement) or vascular TOS (venous or arterial compression). Signs and symptoms of TOS include any combination of pain, numbness and tingling, weakness or evidence of vascular compromise in the upper extremity.1‐3 Venous TOS is more common than the arterial variety and is characterized by swelling and cyanosis of the extremity, pain, a heavy feeling and venous distension in the upper arm and shoulder region. Thrombosis of the subclavian vein which may be caused by TOS is referred to as Paget‐Schroetter Syndrome4 and represents a medical emergency when it occurs. The following case describes a subclavian thrombosis in an elite collegiate swimmer that necessitated initial intensive medical care followed by surgical excision of the first rib and simultaneous scalenectomy to achieve ultimate resolution.
The patient was a 21 year‐old male collegiate swimmer who had experienced a 15‐20 pound weight gain over a two‐year period with a weight lifting program in support of his swim training. He first noticed acute onset swelling and pain in the left non‐dominant upper extremity during an intense preseason swimming practice. The athlete was examined by the on‐site athletic trainer and advised to discontinue practicing and put ice on the shoulder. Symptoms and signs subsided over a 24‐hour period and the athlete was allowed to return to a modified practice regimen with emphasis on lower extremity training in order to avoid over‐using the upper extremities. Ten days following initial onset of symptoms, an identical episode occurred during swim practice and the swimmer was instructed by a physical therapist to go to the local hospital emergency room where a Doppler venous ultrasound of the upper extremity could be performed. This study failed to identify any impairment in blood flow in the left arm (Figure 1). Color Doppler sonography has the benefit of being non‐invasive and is reported to be 70–100% sensitive with a specificity of 93%.4‐6 A complication in completing sonography at this location is the surrounding bony anatomy that often makes direct compression of the subclavian vein during the procedure difficult or impossible.7 The best use of sonography is perhaps as a screening tool and not for consideration regarding surgical intervention.8 Despite the negative sonographic results, clinical suspicion persisted based on examination findings, which included virtual obliteration of the radial pulse with Wright's hyperabduction test (Figure 2), arm distension and limb cyanosis. Particular suspicion was warranted given the combination of such vascular symptoms known to common with thoracic outlet syndromes1‐3,8 and the athlete's presence in a high‐risk group for such conditions. Further examination indicated the patient to have normal skin sensation in C4T1 dermatomes, normal deep tendon reflexes for the biceps, brachioradialis, and triceps and no evidence of radicular symptoms arising from the cervical spine. Muscle testing demonstrated general weakness (4/5) of all muscles in the left upper extremity during the period in which the arm was cyanotic and distended. All peri‐scapular muscles were graded at 5/5 by manual muscle testing at the time of this clinical examination. The weakness demonstrated in the left upper extremity reverted to normal over a 24‐hour period as the signs of venous distention subsided. A vascular surgeon at the hospital, upon having the athlete's case described to him, strongly recommended a venogram be obtained in order to rule out vascular compromise. A contrast venogram from the level of the proximal forearm to the superior vena caval confluence was performed 12 days following the initial onset of acute symptoms. This test revealed a major blockage in the subclavian vein, venous stenosis, and concomitant thrombosis (Figure 3). Venogram is considered the "gold standard" for diagnosis of venous vascular TOS, but requires the challenge of cannulation distally of the edematous limb.8 The venogram and clinical exam findings necessitated admission to the Intensive Care Unit and immediate administration of heparin and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) over a three day period in order to achieve thrombolysis. A repeat contrast venogram following the three‐day course of medical intervention revealed 70% patency of the subclavian vein with apparent permanent stenosis accounting for the failure to achieve 100% patency. The patient was begun on a therapeutic dose of Coumadin® and began daily abdominal self‐injections of Lovenox® as a blood thinning regimen. Emergent care in a case such as the one described herein is based on the avoidance of potential catastrophic consequences that may ensue should a thrombo‐embolus be dislodged from the subclavian vein. In the case of such an event, severe regional tissue anoxia and consequent necrosis may occur in the heart, lungs or brain.7
In order to examine the possibility of a concomitant neurogenic TOS a standard electromyogram (EMG) and nerve conduction study (NCS) was performed four weeks after the date of original presentation. This electrical study emphasized nerve conduction across Erb's point (brachial plexus stimulation site) and needle EMG of muscles commonly involved in neurogenic TOS (those supplied by C8T1 nerve roots and the lower trunk of the brachial plexus). Nerve conduction across Erb's point was completely normal at 70 meters per second, well above the standard lower limit of normal of 50 meters per second. The Median nerve F‐wave for this 74 inch tall individual was 31.0 milliseconds and the Median nerve H‐reflex to the flexor carpi radialis muscle was 17.88 – all values within the normal range. The F‐wave and H‐reflex values represent action potentials that provide evidence of neural conductivity in proximal segments of the nerve. For instance, significant proximal nerve compression from a brachial plexopathy or nerve root compression would produce a slowed F‐wave or H‐reflex, alerting the examining clinician to focus additional attention in this area. Furthermore, the needle EMG failed to reveal any evidence of muscle membrane instability associated with denervation (no positive sharp waves or fibrillations present), nor were any motor unit recruitment abnormalities identified in any of the muscles studied. Muscles examined by EMG included the following: Upper trapezius, serratus anterior, rhomboids, deltoid, biceps, triceps, pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, flexor digitorum superficialis, extensor digitorum communis, extensor pollicis longus, first dorsal interosseous, abductor digiti minimi, abductor pollicis brevis and opponens pollicis.
The student‐athlete returned to a modified swim training schedule and was able to complete the season, competing in the conference swim meet approximately three months following initial onset of signs and symptoms at which he won the 100 and 200 yard breaststroke conference championships. Though having qualified for national competition the swimmer declined to participate further, electing to proceed with definitive surgical correction. The patient underwent transaxillary first rib resection in the manner described by Atasoy.9 The surgical procedure involves sectioning the first rib into two pieces to permit removal. Surgical resection of the attached middle and anterior scalene muscles is also accomplished with this procedure, due to their origins on the first rib. Post‐surgically, the patient was again begun on a one week course of Lovenox® injections, followed by a three month regimen of oral Coumadin®.
Five days following the surgery the patient complained of an unusual feeling in the posterior aspect of the shoulder. Careful examination of the shoulder revealed a winging scapula produced by impairment of the serratus anterior muscle (Figure 4). The long thoracic nerve, supplying the serratus anterior muscle, lies in close proximity to the site of rib resection and the surgeon acknowledged that stretch of this neural structure could have occurred during the procedure. Three weeks following surgery clinical examination revealed continued scapular winging and weakness of the serratus anterior muscle, but all other muscles tested manually in the left upper extremity were graded at 5/5. Another EMG was undertaken at this juncture in order to objectively document the nature of the neuromuscular impairment noted following surgery. The deltoid, biceps, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, upper trapeziues, pectoralis major, and serratus anterior muscles were examined by EMG, using an 28 gauge Teflon®‐coated EMG needle. All muscles except the serratus anterior were normal with needle insertion, at rest and during recruitment. By contrast, examination of the serratus anterior muscle demonstrated increased insertional activity, 2+ positive sharp waves and fibrillations potentials and 50% reduction in motor unit recruitment (all electrical signs of muscle membrane instability usually associated with denervation). The presence of 50% reduction of voluntary motor unit recruitment, though an indicator of neurologic impairment, was, nevertheless an encouraging sign of likely recovery from this state of partial denervation. No significant increase in small amplitude polyphasic motors (usually interpreted as a sign of initial re‐innervation) was identified in this early post‐operative electrical study.
In light of the patient's neuromuscular condition post‐operatively, a generalized rehabilitation regimen was instituted. Specifically, the patient was instructed to be aware of scapular position to minimize stress on the denervated serratus anterior muscle and other soft tissues restraining the scapula. It is believed that minimizing the extent of winging by limiting the demands on the surrounding musculature provides an optimal environment for re‐innervation and eventual full recovery. Emphasis was placed on interscapular stabilization exercises and closed chain movement patterns that minimized scapular winging events. No electrical stimulation was applied during the post‐operative recovery as evidence is inconclusive and conflicting as to value of this intervention toward promoting re‐innervation and functional recovery.10‐12 The patient responded favorably to this exercise‐based protocol and improvement was noted in upper extremity function while minimal scapular dysfunction was experienced. Full strength (5/5 by manual muscle testing) was achieved in all muscles except the serratus anterior within three weeks of surgical excision of the first rib. The patient was placed on a home program in which he continued the upper extremity strength training, worked on soft tissue stretching of the shortened pectoralis major muscle and began a protocol of scar mobilization to limit the tendency to develop adhesions in and about the surgical scar.
Though scapular winging persisted for approximately five months, a repeat EMG examination of the serrratus anterior at three months post‐operatively revealed numerous small amplitude polyphasic motor units (so called "nascent motor units") in the serratus anterior muscle, generally indicative of motor unit recovery. Complete resolution of scapular winging occurred at the five months post‐op with 5/5 muscle strength in the serrratus anterior muscle noted by clinical examination. The patient experienced no further sequalae and has been able to participate in all desired activities with no restrictions since the time of complete resolution.
This case report demonstrates the multifaceted nature of assessment for patients with unusual clinical presentation. Effort‐induced limb cyanosis, swelling, and limb weakness strongly suggested a vascular cause for the findings. Definitive identification of subclavian venous stenosis and thrombus was obtained by venography following standard clinical examination. Ultimate resolution of the anatomical abnormality in this case required surgical resection of the first rib and scalenectomy. Post‐operative complication of long thoracic nerve injury was confirmed by standard electrophysiological assessment using EMG examination and nerve conduction studies. Scapular winging persisted for several months following surgery and eventually resolved at five months post‐operatively. Clinicians working with upper extremity athletes are cautioned to be especially alert for signs of vascular compromise, as noted in this case, as the condition may require specialized imaging studies for confirmation (venography) and emergent medical intervention.
