Deutsche Bank launches its new Values and Beliefs
Continuing the journey of cultural change
Strategy 2015+ and cultural change
Cultural change is an essential part of our Strategy 2015+. Since we launched our strategy, we have worked intensively on our culture. We implemented some essential short-term actions, such as redefining our compensation practices and policies, and creating an Independent Compensation Review Panel. We also rolled out a programme of measures to tighten our control environment. In parallel, we launched the process of deep, longer-term cultural change. Our goal was clear: to place Deutsche Bank at the forefront of cultural change in our industry.
Now, after 10 months of intensive consultation, discussion and reflection, we announce a milestone on that journey - our new values. These values lie at the core of all we do. They will guide our behaviour with clients, with each other, with our shareholders and with the communities we serve. They define the type of institution Deutsche Bank aspires to be.
Each of the values rests on a clear set of beliefs which set out how we seek to conduct ourselves as we live by our values. Our beliefs reflect our own history, the interests of our stakeholders, and the changing environment in which we operate.
"These values lie at the core of all we do. They guide our behaviour with clients, with each other, with our shareholders and with the communities we serve. They define the type of institution Deutsche Bank aspires to be."

'Taxi' and 'Grease' Star Conaway in Coma
You might remember him as Bobby Wheeler in the hit late 70s/early 80s sitcom "Taxi." You might remember him as Kenickie in the 1978 blockbuster "Grease." Sadly, most will likely remember him only as the pitiful, wheelchair-bound former star who occupied time and a patient room on VH1's voyeuristic and unpleasant reality series "Celebrity Rehab." And, now, Jeff Conaway has lapsed into a coma due to a drug overdose.

Knight Concert Hall at the Adrienne Arsht Center
George Benson, vocals, guitar
Freddy Cole, vocals, piano
Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra
A spectacular JazzRoots celebration honoring the career of the legendary singer, pianist, and trio leader Nat "King" Cole! An American icon, Cole's unique voice—a mixture of "velvet and smoke" and his perfect phrasing carried by superb diction—took him from the realm of jazz to the status of pop star and celebrated entertainer. This tribute program features one of the greatest vocal stylists and guitarists of our time, George Benson. Backed by his band and the Frost School's stellar Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra, they bring to life the lush orchestral arrangements that Cole made popular around the world with such signature tunes as "Mona Lisa," "Route 66," and "Unforgettable." The concert also includes classics interpreted by Nat "King" Cole's younger brother Freddy Cole, an international jazz favorite. He will open the program delivering a music sophistication all his own.
Presented in collaboration with Festival Miami, Frost School of Music, Jazz Roots and the Arsht Center

Yesterday the Salone del Mobile, aka the Milan Furniture Fair closed, and with it Milano Moda design, the side event created by the Camera Nazionale (Milan's governing fashion body) dedicated to "events and initiatives of the Houses of Fashion which present Home Design Collections and organize special events related to Design." This area is growing. Why? Well, partly because of the psychology of shopping: (apologies to Thomas Harris): "How do we begin to covet Clarice?…We begin by coveting what we see every day."

Did you know?
Great white sharks were declared a protected species in South African waters before anywhere else in the world.
Shark Alley is famous for being one of the top commercial cage-diving destinations in the world. This is not surprising, given that it is home to one of the largest populations of Great White Sharks.
Lying just a few kilometres south of the small fishing village of Gansbaai, Shark Alley is actually a narrow channel of water that runs between Dyer Island and Geyser Rock. It's thanks to the 50 000-odd Cape Fur Seals on Dyer Island that the channel is so named, for these furry mammals are favourite food for great white sharks. As a result, the sharks trawl the alley in numbers looking for their next meal.
Cage-diving is a thrilling activity where you are lowered into the water, in a secure cage, for a face-to-face encounter. Divers don't have to be scuba qualified to cage-dive, as the cage actually floats, with part of it remaining out of the water.
Visitors preferring to watch from the safety of the boat certainly won't miss out on any of the action, as the sharks remain just under the surface of the water and come right up to the boat.
During peak season, between June and September, onboard spectators may also see Great Whites breaching – a fascinating and awe-inspiring display of these sharks' unique hunting habits.
Whale-watching along the Gansbaai coast is also excellent, particularly between May and December, when Southern Right Whales come to mate, calve and nurse their young in this area.
There are also a number of hikes and walking trails around the cliffs of De Kelders at Gansbaai, which feature caves to explore, abundant fynbos, spectacular ocean views and a fascinating history of ancient people settling in this area.
Travel tips & Planning info
Who to contact
Gansbaai Tourism Information
Tel: +27 (0)28 384 1439
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
How to get here
Fly direct from any of South Africa's major cities to Cape Town International Airport. From Cape Town, take the N2 highway east to Hermanus and then the R43 to Gansbaai. The journey should take about two hours by car.
Best time to visit
Winter is the best season to see great white sharks, especially between June and September. This roughly corresponds to the best season to see southern right whales, which generally stay until December.
Around the area
Gansbaai has plenty to keep you busy, but you'll enjoy the drive to Stanford, a picturesque little town with a good brewery.
You could also visit nearby Hermanus, which has plenty of shops, galleries and good restaurants as well as some of the best whale-watching vantage spots in the world.
What to pack
While cold drinks and light snacks will be provided, you should bring along sunscreen (even in winter), a hat, a jacket and if you have a tendency to seasickness, appropriate medication.
Where to stay
Gansbaai has a number of excellent guest houses and other accommodation options.
What to eat
The fresh seafood along this part of the coast is particularly good.
What's happening
The Great White Shark Festival in October, the Crayfish Derby in April and the Fees van die Ganse (Festival of the Geese) in July, all in Gansbaai.

If this was a boxing bout, chances are the battle of the five-eighths would have been declared a draw and a rematch scheduled immediately. Jarrod Mullen and Josh Reynolds did their Origin chances little harm with solid performances in a dramatic 26-all draw at Dubbo on Sunday afternoon.
While NSW coach Laurie Daley may have been looking for the knockout blow, he got two chargers who tried to jab their way to victory as both milked their respective right-hand sides. The puzzle of who should play five-eighth for NSW should James Maloney fail to recover in time from a shoulder injury remains unsolved.
Reynolds scored a try but a poor defensive read would later cost his team six points. He was the busier of the two, but Mullen stamped his class in the first half with a 40-20 and a second-half kick that laid on a try for Jamal Idris. Daley would have been searching for an "Origin" play and Reynolds gave him a glimpse of what he can do when he rushed out of the defensive line and put a heavy hit on Kevin Gordon to force an error. But he failed to gain further traction when City couldn't produce any early second-half points after enjoying the bulk of possession.
"At stages I thought I was OK," Reynolds said. "I tried my best, that's all I can do. I would love to get in the [Origin side] somewhere."
Strong performances from Idris, Beau Scott and Daniel Tupou could have them push for selection. Rookie fullbacks David Mead and Matt Moylan were also good.
The battle of the No.6s overshadowed a remarkable result, after City scored three tries in the final five minutes to crawl back from a 16-point deficit to draw the match. Adam Reynolds kicked a goal after the siren to ensure the match finished all square, after City scored back-to-back tries in the last two minutes through Daniel Tupou and Will Hopoate.
City coach Brad Fittler praised his halves.
"I thought our halves kept us in the game with good running, good kick pressure," Fittler said. "We started the game poorly. Our little blokes kept us in the game. Adam and Josh came up with some big plays."
Country started the more physical of the two sides, as their forward pack outmuscled likely NSW props in Andrew Fifita and Aaron Woods, with captain Scott punishing in defence.Trailing 6-0 after 11 minutes thanks to a Mead try, City side bounced back when Josh Reynolds crossed six minutes later.
City winger Tupou easily outjumped NSW incumbent winger James McManus to score City's first try from a well-timed cross-field bomb from Adam Reynolds.
A spilt bomb by Tupou hampered his first-half efforts, while teammate and fellow NSW wing hopeful Jorge Taufua missed a regulation tackle to allow opposite Kevin Gordon to level the scores.
When a simple decoy run fooled Josh Reynolds, it allowed Mead to score his second off a regulation sweep play to give Country a 16-10 lead at half-time in front of a crowd of 9627.
City dominated possession early on the second half but failed to capitalise. Country didn't waste their first opportunity to extend their lead when Mullen delivered a cross-field kick for Idris to climb high and score in the 63rd minute. Idris seemed to have ensured victory when he steamrolled opposite number Dylan Walker to give McManus some room, who, with some neat footwork, scored to extend Country's lead to 16 before a remarkable finish.
Country coach Trent Barrett said Mullen did "everything he could" to impress.
"I thought he was terffiic," Barrett said. "He played tough and was our leader on the field. I thought his defence was probably the biggest thing."

Kocaeli TV, 27 August 2010
Talut was the Mahdi of his own day. People of the time who had faith but had a sickness in their hearts were envious of Talut. They regarded Talut's material means and the people around him as inadequate.
There are various dimensions. Those in the 4th dimension are watching us, those in the 3rd dimension. And those in the 5th dimension are watching those in the 4th. One can see djinn, satans and angels in the 4th dimension. We exist in the 3rd dimension. But the 3rd dimension is not so clear, it is more vague. The view of the 4th dimension is sharper. Dreams are a lower dimension. More vague. The Prophet Jesus (as), for example. He no longer has any physical connection to this world or matter in the dimension in which he exists. The Prophet Jesus (as) is in another dimension. He has been taken from the material world. He can no longer see this matter. He can no longer see this world. And we cannot see his world. It is like entering a mirror. You look into a mirror and there is a world there. But it is invisible. Matter exists, this world exists, but the Prophet Jesus (as) cannot see it.
We are in an extraordinarily metaphysical age. But people are unaware of this because Allah has screened events from their eyes. Hazrat Khidr (as) is at work. We used to think the alleged Ergenekon organization was invulnerable. But it collapsed even worse than the Twin Towers on September 11. The alleged Ergenekon organization was demolished before people's very eyes. There is something metaphysical about that. They themselves are amazed by it. "Who did that to us?" they ask. People cannot understand who brought this about. They look for the source, but cannot find it. They are trying to find who leaked information. They are trying to find the source, but in vain, as they can never find it. And nobody will be able to oppose the course events are taking, not until the end.
The alleged Ergenekon organization never fully realized what it was up against. But nobody can stand up to Hazrat Khidr (as). The dajjal is also terrified of Hazrat Khidr (as), it is inaccurately described in accounts. He can never hold his hand or arm. He cannot hold Hazrat Khidr's (as) hand. He will immediately assume another form. He will instantaneously have 6 bodies. He is not an entity that our minds can understand. He can suddenly enter a file and become a piece of paper. He can instantaneously become a village elder, or appear in the garb of a judge. They cannot imagine. They have entered a process they cannot stand against. Hazrat Khidr (as) is most intelligent and efficient. He does everything very expertly and in a highly planned manner through Allah's creation.
Bediuzzaman says that in the End Times, in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), toward the end, the committee of the dajjal, of the sufyan, will be put down and ruthlessly crushed in phases. Bediuzzaman says that this committee will be very strong in his own time and that victory over it in his day will be impossible. It is impossible in terms of conditions and time and means, but they will be totally defeated and scattered in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), he says. Allah is using Hazrat Khidr (as) on this matter in the End Times to help Hazrat Mahdi (as) defeat the movements of the dajjal and the sufyan.
Presidents were usually very careful around the alleged Ergenekon organization. Prime ministers said they would not speak about it, nobody said anything. It looked impregnable, but now they are all in a wretched state. Every day, information flows in from somewhere, they do not know what is happening. They cannot understand what is happening since they are confronting a metaphysical event. BUT IN REFERRING TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ALLEGED ERGENEKON ORGANIZATION I AM NOT SPEAKING OF THE ONES ON TRIAL AND DETAINED, THE ONES WHOSE NAMES ARE IN THE OPEN. I am talking about its real leaders, the secret people, and they know who they are.
The alleged Ergenekon organization, the opponents of Islamic Union, the opponents of Turkish-Islamic Union have entered a time when they cannot resist any longer. They will resist with all their might and strive to prevent Turkish-Islamic Union, but they will be unable to. The movement of the Mahdi and the Messiah will rule the world to great cheers.
Satan ran the alleged Ergenekon organization. They say that themselves, that they received instructions directly from satan, that they prostrated themselves before satan. They promised him slaughter.
They can never defeat Hazrat Khidr (as), nor recognize him even in front of their very noses. Hazrat Khidr (as) attends meetings of the alleged Ergenekon organization, without them knowing. They embrace him as "Master," and are unaware. Hazrat Khidr (as) has them in the palm of his hand, but they fail to realize. But when satan they so trust saw Hazrat Khidr (as) in 1999, he fled and ran away. They are no longer in any state to summon satan.
The movement of the Mahdi, of the Messiah, is invincible. They need not bother pitifully trying.
The age of the Mahdi is now the main issue in the world. The system in America and Europe, the deep state in America, is built on the movement of the Mahdi and the Messiah. Israel is built directly on the movement of the Mahdi and the Messiah. All politics in the world is based on the movement of the Mahdi and the Messiah. Allah is hiding the metaphysical aspect from people, and they go wrong as they only analyze the visible side, so they are unable to fully comprehend what is going on.
The greatest religion of the alleged Ergenekon organization was Darwinism and materialism. Satan founded such a false religion and mocked the whole world with it. But we challenged him, revealed the science of the matter, and he abandoned the field.
They found a slave of Ours whom We had granted mercy from Us and whom We had also given knowledge direct from Us. (Surat al-Kahf, 65)
Abjad calculation of this verse gives the date 2010. Hazrat Khidr (as) has knowledge belonging to him alone.
Moses said to him, "May I follow you on condition that you teach me some of the right guidance you have been taught?" (Surat al-Kahf, 66)
He said, "You will not be able to bear with me." (Surat al-Kahf, 67)
Hazrat Khidr (as) says, "You may regard me as irreligious, as opposed to the sharia, as bombing and destroying places, as committing murder, and you will lack the patience to bear all this."
"How indeed could you bear with patience something you have not encompassed in your knowledge?" (Surat al-Kahf, 68)
The appearance and essence of a matter are two different things. Hazrat Khidr (as) tells a Prophet "You could not bear this."
Moses said, "You will find me patient, if Allah wills, and I will not disobey you in any matter." (Surat al-Kahf, 69)
The Prophet Moses (as) says, "If Allah wills [InshaAllah]." These are the key words in Surat al-Kahf. The Prophet Moses (as) says this, and this is what Hazrat Khidr (as) is looking for.
He said, "Then if you follow me, do not question me about anything until I myself make mention of it to you." (Surat al-Kahf, 70)
That means greater patience is necessary.
They continued until they boarded a boat and he scuppered it. Then Moses said, "Did you scupper it so that its owners would be drowned? This is truly a dreadful thing that you have done!" (Surat al-Kahf, 71)
Hazrat Khidr (as) speaks face to face, accepting no third party.
The Prophet Moses (as) says, "Did you intend mass slaughter? You have done something unlawful." But Hazrat Khidr (as) acted out of revelation, and what he did was right.
He said, "Did I not say that you would never be able to bear with me?" (Surat al-Kahf, 72)
Hazrat Khidr (as) admits no other possibility, he says "never." He does not say "it would be difficult," he says "you would never be able." That is because Allah tells him through revelation, beforehand. Allah tells Hazrat Khidr (as), through revelation, that the Prophet Moses (as) would not able to bear with him. Since he has been given revelation, he says he would certainly not be able to bear with him.
Moses said, "Do not take me to task because I forgot. Do not demand of me something which is too difficult." (Surat al-Kahf, 73)
One of Hazrat Khidr's (as) qualities is that he calls to account.
The Prophet Moses (as) says, "Do not demand of me something which is too difficult," because Hazrat Khidr (as) may demand things difficult when necessary, as this is one of his characteristics.
So they went on until they met a youngster whom he killed. Moses said, "Have you killed a boy who has done no wrong, without it being in retaliation for someone else? This is truly an appalling thing that you have done!" (Surat al-Kahf, 74)
"You have killed and done wrong," he says, but Hazrat Khidr (as) is acting out of revelation.
Moses said, "If I ask you about anything after this, then you should no longer keep me company. I will have given you excuse enough." (Surat al-Kahf, 76)
Shortly after, Hazrat Khidr (as) retires having done his duty. He will not remain constantly in contact with the same place.
So they went on until they reached the inhabitants of a town. They asked them for food but they refused them hospitality. They found there a wall about to fall down and he built it up. Moses said, "If you had wanted, you could have taken a wage for doing that." (Surat al-Kahf, 77)
Hazrat Khidr (as) has no need for food, but the Prophet Moses (as) does. Hazrat Khidr (as) can eat or not, as he pleases.
The people of the town are wary of their majesty.
He immediately builds the wall. Hazrat Khidr (as) is a master stonemason, and this is also one of his attributes. This means placing all masons under his control, all of them being under his command, and they have done so, insha'Allah.
Hazrat Khidr (as) asks for no reward. That is an attribute of his, he requests neither food, nor money nor anything. A human being needs things, but he needs nothing. He does not need to sleep or eat. His having no need of anything is one of the signs of Hazrat Khidr (as).
What the people whose ideas we criticize have in common is that you will never hear a word from them in favor of Turkish-Islamic Union or of Islamic Union. But you constantly hear them saying how Turkish-Islamic Union and Muslim unity will never happen. "If it were going to happen, it would have done so in our Prophet's (saas) time," they say. Or, "It will happen in 571 years' time." But they never support Islamic Union or Turkish-Islamic Union. Drawing attention to this danger is not politics, but a service to the faith. Would these people's supporters dislike us because we tell the truth? I tell the truth, and they all know I am telling the truth, but if they still dislike me, then they are disobeying the morality of the Qur'an. My complaint is that they do not accept Islamic Union. Let them say just one word in favor. Let them say, "May Allah bring us together, insha'Allah. May Islamic moral values rule the world, insha'Allah." But they don't. The really astonishing thing is that they never say such things, but that they behave as if there were no such issue at all.
They describe the bloodshed and how the Islamic world has been made captive, but their solution is to say, "Let them come and kill us and we will square accounts with them in the Hereafter." This is not the path shown by Allah. He does not say this in the Qur'an. He tells us to strive on His path until there is no fitnah [tribulation, discord, mischief] on Earth and until the religion is Allah's. Strive with science, art, culture, love and compassion, He says. And this is what we're saying. There is nothing surprising about that.
All our brothers, Kurds, Assyrians and Arabs want Turkish-Islamic Union. Even the human body lives as a whole. We do not live with our heads and arms split off from one another. Division is not good, unity is good. The more they see the word division, the more people will see the value of unity and Turkish-Islamic Union. If they want people to be happy, they must want them to be united and they must want Turkish-Islamic Union. They must be like their ancestor Saladin and espouse Turkish-Islamic Union. Their ancestors were never fragmented. Kurds, too, can only be happy when Turkish-Islamic Union is founded.... Division is a disaster. There can be no strength if there is division. The wolves will gobble them up piecemeal. The wolves are waiting at the gate.
I swear that Turkey will not be split up and I swear that there will be Great Turkey and Islamic Union, insha'Allah. We have Allah's promise in the Qur'an, and the Messenger of Allah's (saas) promise. There is no other alternative. Our holy Prophet (saas) says so. Allah has promised. And Allah tells us in the Qur'an that He never goes back on His promises.
We sent you only to bring good news and to give warning. (Surat al-Furqan, 56)
Thinking in terms of the End Terms, this is an allusion to "We have sent you to bring good news that Islamic moral values will rule the world and there will be Islamic Union."
56 (the number of Surat al-Furqan) x 25 (the verse number) = 1400
Abjad calculation of the verse also gives 1400 (Hijri 1400)
"What has My Lord to do with you if you do not call on Him? But you have denied the truth, so punishment is bound to come." (Surat al-Furqan, 77)
We also pray, "O Lord, give us Turkish-Islamic Union, give us Islamic Union, and let Islamic moral values rule the world." We do not want blood and gunpowder or conflict. We want love and affection. And we also want to protect Christians and Jews too.
The great majority of scholars today are merely scholars of information; they do not use the kind of language that will cause rejoicing in people's hearts. There is no language that might open the heart or bestow depth of faith. There is merely transmission. They talk mechanically, with frozen faces and cold voices. There is no depth, joy, fervor of Islamic Union or sovereignty, no fervor for striving in the way of Allah.
Allah has protected Turkey through Hazrat Mahdi (as). Otherwise the alleged Ergenekon organization would not have been so shattered. Turkey would have been fragmented long ago. The whole world was putting pressure to fragment Turkey and split it up. It would have gone long before the September 12 coup. But Allah did not permit this, by way of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Because we have Allah's promise. Allah will make the moral values of Islam rule the world. Allah will not allow a hair on Turkey's head to be harmed since the bastion is here.
It is wrong to say "What good will my words do" on the subject of espousing Turkish-Islamic Union.
When Islamic moral values rule, not only Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be wealthy, not only Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be happy. Everyone will be. Everyone will be wealthy and happy.
Knowledge of the unseen was revealed to our Prophet (saas), and the signs of the Day of Judgment and, most important of all, these signs have come about in perfect clarity.
Except Iblis. He disdained to be one of the prostrators. (Surat al-Hijr, 31)
He said, "Iblis, what is it that prevents you being among the prostrators?" (Surat al-Hijr, 32)
He said, "I will not prostrate to a human being whom You have created out of dried clay formed from fetid black mud." (Surat al-Hijr, 33)
He said, "Get out from here, you are accursed." (Surat al-Hijr, 34)
"The curse will be on you till the Day of Reckoning." (Surat al-Hijr, 35)
He said, "My Lord, grant me a reprieve until the Day they are resurrected." (Surat al-Hijr, 36)
He said, "You are among the reprieved." (Surat al-Hijr, 37)
We see in the verses satan's hypocritical and arrogant character, and he foolishly regards himself as superior.
Allah speaks of the Day of Reckoning, while satan speaks of the day they are resurrected. There are two different expressions.
The Day of Reckoning may be a reference to the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Allah knows the truth.
He said, "My Lord, because You misled me, I will make things on the Earth seem good to them and I will mislead them all, every one of them." (Surat al-Hijr, 39)
Figuratively speaking, the character of the members of the alleged Ergenekon organization is also being described in the verse. Excluding the devout Turkish nation and the followers of Hazrat Mahdi (as), insha'Allah.
And [He] unified their hearts. Even if you had spent everything on the Earth, you could not have unified their hearts. But Allah has unified them. He is Almighty, All-Wise. (Surat al-Anfal, 63)
"I have unified them" says Allah. "I have made you into a single body," He says.
O Prophet! Spur on the believers to fight. If there are twenty of you who are steadfast, they will overcome two hundred; and if there are a hundred of you, they will overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they are people who do not understand. (Surat al-Anfal, 65)
Encourage the believers to the intellectual struggle, to Islamic Union, to the foundation of Turkish-Islamic Union. Unbelievers are weak in culture, intelligence and ideas. You can easily neutralize them. You can defeat them with knowledge, reason and ideas.
Harun Yahya TV
I cannot analyze character. Allah makes it and I see it. I say what Allah causes to be manifested in me. I do not speak myself. Allah causes me to speak, and I too listen to it. They can see how well Allah manifests this by logging onto the What He Said, What Happened pages on HarunYahya.com. By Allah's choosing, I do useful work, and these things are put into action. But it is Allah Who does it, not me. Allah causes me to make my choices and we really do good work. Allah makes us His instrument.
"I am not a prophet, I am a human being," I said. Allah has created people with deficiencies. I take the prophets as role models. Prophets are models, but I am not a prophet, I am not a model. I say, if I make a mistake I will put it right. I am not superhuman. I speak of superhuman entities; angels and Hazrat Khidr (as). I say that any success is entirely created by Allah. I believe that all power lies with Allah.
Let my brother make a comparison with himself. How many of his books have been published globally? I have written more than 300 books, and millions of people read them all over the world. They have been instrumental in guiding millions of people. How many people has my brother been instrumental in leading to faith?
I have burst the giant movement of irreligion like a balloon. Allah made me His instrument. Let him look and see how this happened.
Many of our brothers espouse the Turkish-Islamic Union, but I would like to hear about anyone who talks about it as lively and widely as I do. There is no-one, apart from a few specific groups.
Does anyone strive as much as me, day and night, for Islamic Union? Let him tell me that. Does he?
Has he set an example for many communities by showing them effective ways of working? Many communities and groups say that about me. So Allah has made me His instrument.
There are very few people who say as much as I do that communism is a threat and that the PKK is a communist movement. Is there anyone else who wages such a powerful intellectual struggle against the PKK?
We have put a stop to the worst movement of the dajjal in the world history. Darwinism and materialism are the worst movement of the dajjal in world history. They lead to the first and second world wars, to the deaths of 350 million people, to misery and suicide and to the fragmentation of the Islamic world. By Allah's help, as the forerunner of Hazrat Mahdi (as), we have demolished this false system.
When it comes to the signs leading to faith, there is no other model in the world today like us, of the kind we are instrumental in. Nobody makes such detailed statements. Bediuzzaman said this would happen in the End Times. Allah made me instrumental in that, too. Allah has ordained it. Allah prepared it, and gives the impression I am doing it, as a shadow entity.
Allah has bestowed the beauty of telling the Qur'an and faith related issues in a rational way on me and very few other people. Allah has made me His instrument, using a certain language which is 100% representative of the truth, instead of an artificial, false, insincere and unbelievable way of talking. Such people are very rare. I too watch myself doing it. Allah has bestowed it on me.
Who talks about building Islamic Union with love and compassion, and by eliminating weaponry? There are very few people.
Who else talks about the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) in this century, says that he has already come and that the Prophet Jesus (as) has also come, using such rational, realistic and sincere language in complete agreement with the hadiths of our Prophet (saas) and the Qur'an?
Who else tells the students of the Nur about their error regarding a collective personality? Such people are very rare.
Who else says that Hazrat Mahdi (as) and Jesus the Messiah (as) are at work, but using true hadiths of our Prophet (saas) that have actually come about and proven events, rather than using dreams and demagoguery?
Hypocrites are very unintelligent, and never imagine they can be easily exposed. But they render a great service to Islam. They cause us to tell about good things and always result in good things. They ride the devil's steed, but they actually benefit Muslims rather than harming them. They ride the steed of evil, but do good to us and evil to themselves. They bestow plenty on us and cannot harm us.
The Holy Cloak was repaired in 2010 for the first time in 1400 years, because the time when Hazrat Mahdi (as) will wear it is imminent.

Foreign Minister Westerwelle on Syria
Commenting on the announcements made by the Syrian Armed Forces as well as by the Free Syrian Army to adhere to a ceasefire for the duration of Eid Al-Adha as proposed by the Joint Special Representative Lakhdar Brahimi, Foreign Minister Westerwelle said:
"The announcements made by both sides to adhere to a ceasefire over the course of Eid al-Adha provides for a small glimmer of hope for the suffering people in Syria and for a success of Mr Brahimi.
Now it is crucial that deeds follow words and that the ceasefire will be fully implemented as of Friday morning.
Only if this is successful, it could turn out to be a first step to prevent a further slide into civil war and violence and to allow for a new political beginning to be reached."

Plymouth Gin
Plymouth Gin
Design Bridge redesigns the bottle, bringing back a touch of heritage
Next time you reach for Plymouth Gin, you'll notice their newly redesigned bottle. A welcomed transformation from the tall, square-shaped vessel with a navy blue and silver color scheme to a rounded antique-style shape and distinctive oval label—the trademark Mayflower stamp remains—the new bottle still houses the same gin made in the same single Victorian copper still since 1793.
When Pernod Ricard asked Design Bridge to redesign the Plymouth Gin bottle, their team delved into the company's archives for inspiration. The goal: to create a bottle that would not only stand out on the shelf behind a bar, but also tell the story of the spirit in an authentic way. This process led them to focus on Plymouth's rich heritage and to codify a thematic idea for the project, "Looking Back to Look Forward".
According to the historical record, the pilgrim fathers spent their last night in the Black Friars Distillery where Plymouth later began production in the 18th century. With this in mind, Design Bridge made the Mayflower more prominent on the new label.
Below the ship reads the caption, "In 1620 The Mayflower set sail from Plymouth on a journey of hope and discovery," the additional focus taking the bottle design closer to earlier versions of the logo. Design Bridge spared no detail, creating a copper cap to depict Plymouth's original 1793 gin still, while the uneven glass bottle shape is meant to look like it fell out of the back pocket of a 19th century sailor.
Plymouth Gin is available in its new bottle online as well as liquor stores throughout the world for prices starting around $33. Learn more about Plymouth Gin in our video tour of the 214-year-old facility with master distiller Sean Harrison.

Whale of a Problem: Regulators Subvert Will of Congress
Note: The Trade is not subject to our Creative Commons license.
The path to gaming the Volcker Rule has always been clear: Banks will shut down anything with the word "proprietary" on the door and simply move the activities down the hall.
To look like they were ready to comply with the Volcker Rule, the part of the Dodd-Frank Act that aims to prevent banks from gambling on their own account with money that taxpayers insure, financial firms quickly spun off or shut down their hedge funds, private equity firms and proprietary trading desks.
But the suspicious-minded among us wonder whether it was all that simple. This is the specter raised by the news that a JPMorgan Chase trader in London, made instantaneously notorious thanks to his colorful nicknames ("Voldemort" or "the London Whale," take your pick), was amassing such huge positions in indexes related to corporate defaults that he was distorting the market. (Apparently, it wasn't just one trader but more than a dozen, according to a person at JPMorgan, but the nicknames are too good to let go.)
Bloomberg followed up with a powerful article about how Jamie Dimon, the chief executive of JPMorgan, has transformed the sleepy chief investment office, which takes care of the bank's treasury operation, into a unit that hires former hedge fund portfolio managers and slings around giant sums of money in what walks and quacks like prop trading. The chief investment office seems not to just be risk-mitigating, but profit-maximizing.
The Congressional authors of the Volcker Rule worried about this very thing, and you can trace their concerns through their drafts. The original language of the rule had a broad exception: banks couldn't trade for their own account, but they could hedge to mitigate their risks.
The authors quickly realized that the exemption was absurdly broad. After moving these businesses to other divisions, banks would then argue that their bets were either market-making activities or simply hedges that offset risks.
Such "hedges" could encompass a lot of trades that looked awfully proprietary. A trade could seem to hedge a large business risk, like suffering loan losses if companies they lent to went broke in an economic downturn. But that might just be a bet on companies going belly up.
So Congress tightened the language. It wrote that the hedges had to be specific. When the Dodd-Frank financial reform law came out, the Volcker Rule provision defined "risk mitigating activities" as trades that were "designed to reduce the specific risks to the banking entity in connection with and related to such positions, contracts, or other holdings." No macro-hedging, only micro-hedging. That is the will of Congress.
But then federal regulators got their hands on Volcker and set about interpreting the meaning of Dodd Frank. This has been a Talmudic exercise in reverse: It has taken the clear and simple intent and made it muddy and complicated.
Regulators decided that banks could say that they were hedging for an overall portfolio. And the banks could argue that a hedge was legitimate if it merely had a "reasonable correlation" with the security or position being hedged. It was as if the regulators had not only questioned the basis for the rules of being kosher, but had also served up a cheeseburger — with bacon on top — all very nonkosher.
"One of the great fears was that banks could avoid the rule by simply pretending that their prop trading was somehow their market-making or hedging," a Congressional aide told me. "Congress tightened the language to prevent this, and yet banks still may get away with this under the proposed rules."
The rules aren't finalized, so there's a chance the regulators will make adjustments. The authors of the Volcker Rule raised objections in a comment letter in February. "Banks could easily use portfolio-based hedging to mask proprietary trading," Democratic Senators Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Carl Levin of Michigan wrote in a letter to regulators. "There is no statutory basis to support the proposed portfolio hedging language, nor is there anything in the legislative history to suggest it should be allowed."
The problem of allowing a broad "portfolio hedging" exception is obvious. Follow the logic to its end, and you could expect to find a bank arguing that it needed to hedge its commercial banking business by buying an investment bank and hedge its banking business with an insurance company and so on.
And lo, JPMorgan says exactly what we might expect a bank that knows how the regulators are interpreting Volcker would say: that the trading of its chief investment office is merely hedging.
But the bank is unabashed: "The purpose of this is to hedge the macro risk of the company," a JPMorgan executive explained to me. "It's what we are supposed to be doing, we do it well, we write about it in the annual report and we show it to every regulator," he added.
Alas, it wasn't the regulators who brought this to light. Instead, it took hedge funds on the other side of trades. This has led to a cynical reaction: hedge funds are hardly the epitome of upright regulatory citizens, burning to bring violations of the Volcker Rule to light.
But just because a hedge fund is biased doesn't mean it's wrong. It can be simultaneously true that hedge funds have gotten themselves into a bad trade and that JPMorgan is doing something more than hedging.
And it matters what the banks' trading partners think because the banks invoke them constantly in order to protect themselves from the Volcker Rule. The big banks wrap themselves in the mantle of market-making. Without them, they warn, liquidity — or how easy it is to enter and exit trades — will dry up.
In the case of these JPMorgan trades, however, we can see how a huge position can undermine liquidity. A big bank can become the market. JPMorgan's big position now makes trading in these credit indexes less likely, not more, which could lead to more volatile markets.
So is this legitimate trading? The hedge funds don't really know what's going on at JPMorgan's chief investment office. Nor can the public tell from the bank's disclosures. The only ones who have a chance to get a true picture are the dozens of regulators who are sitting in the bank's office.
But given how bent the regulators are to subvert the will of Congress, it would take an act of extraordinary naiveté to believe they will actually get to the bottom of it.

The TBTF banks will always find a way to do an end-run around legislation because they have pecuniary incentive to do so. The regulators, on the other hand, are under-resourced and can never compete in the compensation arms race. So the only real answer is to allow a credible threat of business failure, i.e. remove the government backstop.
A better question is why the regulators are making decisions on what the law covers. I don't agree with Congress about much, but in no case should an unelected official be overriding the laws passed by our elected body of legislators.
Why isn't Congress investigating the regulators? Or is Major League Baseball as far as they're willing to dig? Or, if they're turning a blind eye, why might that be?
This doesn't even approach the "rolling long" commodities problem where, apparently, hundreds of billions of people need to be supplied with oil (i.e., alleged demand in futures for fuel and food are dozens of times the world consumption). In comparison, this Chase trading is positively adorable.
"Every firm in the industry has legal and compliance divisions whose primary purpose on paper is to ensure they are compliant with regulations. The vast amount of complexities in banking and finance law necessitates this. But the equally important duty of these legal teams is to find "creative" ways to get around laws and still be in compliance. Perhaps this would not be such a big deal if it did not have the negative impact on society that it does."
Derivatives Lobby Has U.S. Regulators on the Run
By Roger Lowenstein Apr 17, 2012
Successful banks follow the Golden Rule: Those with the gold make the rules! The umbilical cords of regulators lead directly to the political placenta.
The real question is - are these regulators left over from the Bush/Cheney Junta? In other words, given that virtually every bureaucrat appointed by Bush had the specific purpose of evading regulations & controls, and paralyzing the regulatory functions of every agency or bureau they were appointed to, are they continuing the purposeful destruction of the federal government that was begun as far back as 1980 - and accelerated from 2000 on? And, if so, why hasn't Obama gotten rid of them? The damage done to the federal government by Bush was structural. Why hasn't it been reversed?
Banks think that the law doesn't apply to them. Irf it might, they get it changed.
Jamie Dimon…. Jamie Dimon… now *where* have I heard that name before?
This kind of play could you killed in a craps game.
As I see it, we have a situation where we have regulators who don't regulate, but accomodate those who they are supposed to regulate. Could it be that the regulators in this case have a philosophical opposition toward regulation? It's like sex in that people who don't like it aren't going to be very good at it. So, people who don't like the concept of regulation aren't going to be very good at doing it. Also, pardon my cynicism, but could money be a factor? It might be interesting to see what happens to regulators once they leave government service.
Forget "audacity of hope" and "change we can believe in" and "yes we can." oh, and transparency also.
The regulators are part of the executive branch and the executive branch is too timid, too compromised, too worried about reelection or some combination of these to do anything about the "regulators."
good heavens, better to have a Republican in the White House - the devil you know, rather than a smooth talking individual whose approach is based on glossy promises with no real commitment. The administration is loud and furious to criticize Republicans in Congress, yet nary a word about the "regulators."
i agree with you Barbara,. both of us voted for obama lamma ding-dong and although he isn't as bad as a gop, he is a long way from doing anything about this stuff. i tore my obama sticker off my car after about a month of waiting for him to send oil skimmers to the gulf in 2010. then after Reckless Endangerment was published and i learned about all the crooks that are in his cabinet i pooped a pink twinkie. although the crazy Ron Paul is nuts in deregulating everything i will vote for him if i can, because he is in my mind, uncorruptable, and i like his promise to bring all troops home from where ever in the hell they are across the globe. I know he's got as much chance as a snow flake in hell. But so does Romney.
Just read Bernanke's remark that the banks will need more time to prepare to meet the Dodd-Frank statute requirements; apparently they failed English 101 and have forgotten how to write a clear sentence. Joking of course! These odious people will lie, cheat and steal their way to success. For gods sake, Congress, step in and for just a little bit take your hand out of their pocket and fix this freight train of theft.
Let's assume that most readers are appalled by this story and that every word in it is true. What will Romney do about it?
Romney wants to gut the Volcker Rule and Frank-Dodd. He's not fit to be president because his party is too immoral to admit it's been wrong about their version of crony capitalism.
Pat—Romney was my governor and he elminated a $3 BILLION deficit he inherited, from a Democrat, all without raising taxes. He is a very honorable man and can't be bought. He's already filthy rich by his own making and good for him. Who would prefer as POTUS—Obama the amateur?!?
It's not hard to give this oversight…thinking about hedge accounting like author mentions above where you gotta "staple" the long position to the hedge position for the files. Any loose-ness in definition of sufficient "correlation" between the 2 is pretty well expressed through math that's become standard market lingo for decades for derivatives positions.
Trouble may be that the SEC/FED/CFTC don't speak that language and doubt they've got spreaddsheets up showing things like "delta flat" which is best guess that long/short exposure is about even… helps traders sleep better at night. Jamie Dimon speaks fluent "delta" btw
Looks like Congress blew it again
Barney Frank , Maxine Waters , and the rest of those bumbling dopes can't do anything right
VOTE them out
but I'm improving myself. I absolutely enjoy reading everything that is written on your website.Keep the posts coming. I liked it!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/12/2013 (1332 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
ON BOARD OASIS OF THE SEAS -- I had a couple of reasons for being on the largest cruise ship in the world (sister ship Allure of the Seas is about five centimetres longer but that's splitting hairs).
I was with the first group of reporters to board Oasis in 2009 (skeptically, I must admit). I was doubtful anyone could build a cruise ship for 6,000 passengers and make it work. So I came back to see if the builders lived up to their promises to Royal Caribbean customers and executives alike.
The second reason? It's winter in Canada.
I recall four years ago, my immediate reaction to Oasis of the Seas was, "Wow!" Here was a ship almost four football fields long capable of carrying 2,000 more passengers than her next-biggest rival.
She was designed to cater to everyone -- families, adults of all demographics... even honeymooners, we were told. Another promise was getting on and off the ship would be simple and, by creating themes around the ship, it would be an easy place to navigate.
Fast forward 48 months. I showed up at 2 p.m., dropping my bag outside the terminal. At 2:25 p.m., I was putting the key in my stateroom door. That's fast. Most ports we visited worked just fine, too, although I heard embarking in Nassau was slower.
Next, I was off to explore. I soon learned if an Oasis entertainment venue calls for reservations, then make them. For example, the comedy club was full for most shows.
Because the ship is so big, designers carved out the middle and created the "neighbourhoods" Central Park and Boardwalk, both overlooked by windowed cabins and balconies from staterooms.
Boardwalk houses the AquaTheater and its high-dive and water acts, which have the ocean as a backdrop. Central Park offers high-end restaurants -- Chops Grille, 150 Central Park and Giovanni's Table -- all at a fee less than what comparable restaurants on shore would charge.
Besides Boardwalk and Central Park, there are theme areas for entertainment, adventure and sports.
Children and teens can indulge in 30,000 square feet of space, divided by age, and a partnership with DreamWorks means characters like Shrek and Princess Fiona are all over the ship.
The dining room covers three stories, and from below it has the appearance of opera balconies. Nearly 3,000 diners can be served at one seating, yet the curves and corners on each level disguise the enormous size of the room. However, the Windjammer Café buffet is one area that could use more space.
Staying in touch with family and friends ashore was a cinch. Royal Caribbean is testing a new Wi-Fi system on Oasis and Allure using technology that works everywhere on the ships and at much higher speeds than what we've become accustomed to at sea.
I bought the 24-hour-a-day weekly package for $179, which worked well for my needs. Many passengers were busily using the Internet to talk with family members back home. The faster this technology gets to all Royal Caribbean ships -- and to in-the-family lines like Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Club Cruises -- the better.
In short, Oasis is four years old but still looks good. She commands a premium price in the seven-day Caribbean market -- higher even than her stablemates in the Royal Caribbean fleet. But she does need refreshing, which will happen with a refit next year.
For the most part, the promises were fulfilled and management is so satisfied a third Oasis Class ship is coming in 2016.
I am now on Celebrity's Eclipse, cruising to Caribbean Islands less travelled, including ports like Bonaire and Curaçao. You'll find lots about this trip at portsandbows.com.

I am pleased to have discovered PC-Canada. I have been searching for years for a online source in Canada to buy my pro-printer supplies. I will use PC-Canada for now on. My normal experience in Canada was, No Inventory and way overpriced! I had resorted to buying my supplies solely in the US for the last 10 years. But now I can keep my money at home. So far, the items I need regularly are listed in stock and the prices are quite fair and competitive. My only real complaint is that the description of the Genuine name-brand ink cartridges I've seen, are ambiguous and could be misconstrued as fake, 3rd-party ones ( ex; genuine OEM carts should not be listed as re-fillable) . I emailed customer service, and they promptly replied that indeed the cartridges in question were indeed genuine, original name-brand OEM cartridges.
Today's savvy buyers deserve an unbeatable shopping experience.
PC-Canada.com delivers an unparalleled selection of brand name products at the lowest possible prices and same day/prompt shipping.

Run a lot.
Spend enough time in PWP so that you know where the hills are, how long they are, and how stupid your decision was to sign up for the marathon.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Speaking of which, Jeff, when can I expect your registration?

foot is a fungal infection of the skin. A vesicular (blister) infection usually
begins with a sudden outbreak of fluid-filled areas under the skin. The
blisters most often develop on the skin of the instep but may also develop
between the toes, on the heel, or on the sole or top of the foot.

The signs and symptoms of acoustic neuroma develop from direct effects on the main nerve or from the tumor pressing on adjacent nerves, nearby blood vessels or brain structures.
As the tumor grows, it may be more likely to cause signs and symptoms, although tumor size doesn't always determine effects. It's possible for a small tumor to cause significant signs and symptoms.
You may experience signs and symptoms such as:
In rare cases, an acoustic neuroma may grow large enough to compress the brainstem and threaten your life.
See your doctor if you notice hearing loss in one ear, ringing in your ear or trouble with your balance. Early diagnosis of an acoustic neuroma may help keep the tumor from growing large enough to cause serious consequences, such as total hearing loss or a life-threatening buildup of fluid within your skull.

You know you need the cloud, but you're hesitant to simply dump everything at Amazon since you know that not all workloads are suitable for cloud. You know that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the public cloud a non-starter. You're looking at private cloud solutions based on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you're concerned with the limits inherent in those technologies.

DevOps is under attack because developers don't want to mess with infrastructure. They will happily own their code into production, but want to use platforms instead of raw automation. That's changing the landscape that we understand as DevOps with both architecture concepts (CloudNative) and process redefinition (SRE). Rob Hirschfeld's recent work in Kubernetes operations has led to the conclusion that containers and related platforms have changed the way we should be thinking about DevOps and...

When shopping for a new data processing platform for IoT solutions, many development teams want to be able to test-drive options before making a choice. Yet when evaluating an IoT solution, it's simply not feasible to do so at scale with physical devices. Building a sensor simulator is the next best choice; however, generating a realistic simulation at very high TPS with ease of configurability is a formidable challenge. When dealing with multiple application or transport protocols, you would be...
