1. The 5-year fixed corral
Right now there is a fairly hefty premium built into 5-year fixed mortgages and with the new qualifying rules it is the only option available to marginal buyers. If buyers choose a variable mortgage or a short fixed term they have to qualify for the posted 5-year rate. This rate now appears to be arbitrarily high compared to 5-year government bonds and this will move buyers towards fixed mortgages.
Even the spread on the discount rates appears elevated. Lenders are moving marginal buyers into fixed rate mortgages and collecting wider margins for it.
See the chart below to compare the fixed 5-year mortgage to the 5-year government bond. Before the financial crisis (2000-2006) the posted mortgage averaged 2.42% higher than the benchmark bond. The premium has been above 3% for about a month.
Read the article from Canadian Mortgage Trends about this situation.
My opinion is that the restrictions to variable mortgages is a good thing and should be applied to discount 5-year fixed mortgages to avoid this problem.
It makes one curious about the logic that went into the final decision. Is there a real threat of sustained 4.35%+ higher rates? Or did the powers that be set the bar overly high to herd people into 5-year fixed mortgages—which just happen to be more profitable?
Maybe the latter is just too cynical a thought…
2. Prime rate premium remains elevated well after financial crisis subsides.
Must be nice to collect an additional 0.25% off indebted Canadians, which the banks are doing since the prime rate remains inflated long after the financial crisis faded away. Normally the prime rate tracked the Bank of Canada's overnight target rate with a 1.75% premium. However back in 2008 they decided to withhold part of the central bank's rate cut. See article: Canadian consumers shortchanged on rate cut.
"Continuing market turmoil has steadily driven up the cost of borrowing for financial institutions. This makes it challenging to match the Bank of Canada rate cut at this time,"
Tim Hockey, president and chief executive of Toronto-Dominion Bank, said.
To illustrate this additional 0.25% premium see the chart below with the BOC rate, prime rate and difference between them. There were the occasional spikes resulting from a small delay to move the prime rate, but this is the first sustained difference going back 10 years.
TORONTO - Toronto-Dominion Bank (TSX:TD) continued a string of big-profit announcements from Canada's largest banks Thursday, posting first-quarter results that handily blew away analyst estimates for both earnings and revenue.
The bank's net income rose to $1.3 billion in the quarter, essentially doubling the $653 million it earned a year earlier, helped by record earnings from its domestic banking operations.
It joined CIBC (TSX:CM) and Bank of Montreal (TSX:BMO) in beating Bay Street estimates, with only Royal Bank (TSX:RY) falling slightly short of expectations even as it posted a $1.5-billion profit.
3. The renewal trap.
Canadian mortgages are typically renewed every 5 years or less. With the recent mortgage changes to decrease amortization from 40 to 35 years, require 5% down and qualify on 5-year posted rate (not to mention future price decreases) there will be borrowers who fail to qualify at renewal. Since a change in lender requires requalification while renewal does not, borrowers have no choice but to renew at the rate given to them. Good deal for lenders who can set price arbitrarily. Another unintended consequence of loose lending. Again, from Canadian Mortgage Trends:
The kicker is that you can't change lenders at renewal without requalifying. Therefore, if you don't have 20% equity at maturity you could be stuck in another 5-year fixed mortgage (possibly at your existing lender's "rack rate"). If you instead want to switch to a variable or 1-4 year fixed term, your debt ratios will have to fit under the much stricter government guidelines at that time.

WAR KILLS black car ribbon $5.00
We all know the stark reality of war is that people die. Innocent people. Every day. While "Support Our Troops" and "God Bless America" ribbons are all well and good, there is something else that must be kept in mind - one very important and simple fact: War Kills
These magnetic car ribbons have been created with the purpose of keeping the reality of war in people's awareness. A portion of all proceeds will be donated to 'No More Victims', a non-profit, non-sectarian, humanitarian organization, whose mission is to restore health and well-being to victims of war and to advocate and educate for peace.

A DEADLY INTERROGATION by JANE MAYER
Iran Calls for War Crimes Charges On US, Including DU Use in Iraq
Iranian president calls for war crimes charges on US
26/11/2005 - 13:57:23
Iran�s hard-line president called for the Bush administration to be tried on war crimes charges related to Iraq and denounced the West for its stance on Iran�s controversial nuclear programme, state-run television reported today.
�You, who have used nuclear weapons against innocent people, who have used uranium ordnance in Iraq should be tried as war criminals in courts,� Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in an apparent reference to the US.
Ahmadinejad didn�t elaborate, but he was apparently referring to the US military�s use of artillery shells packed with depleted uranium, which is far less radioactive than natural uranium and is left over from the process of enriching uranium for use as nuclear fuel.
Since the 2003 start of the Iraq war, US forces have reportedly fired at least 120 tons of shells packed with depleted uranium, which is an extremely dense material used by the US and British militaries for tank armour and armour-piercing weapons. Once fired, the shells melt, vaporise and turn to dust.
�Who in the world are you to accuse Iran of suspicious nuclear armed activity?� asked the Iranian president during a nationally televised ceremony marking the 36th anniversary of the establishment of the volunteer Basij paramilitary force.
Iran has been under intense pressure to curb its nuclear programme, which the US claims is part of an effort to produce nuclear weapons. Iran denies such claims and says its nuclear programme is peaceful and aimed at generating electricity. But it insists that it has the right to develop its nuclear programme, including enrichment of nuclear fuel.

Here is a New Hampshire site on Bernard von NotHaus
The Free Market News article on Bernard von NotHaus-- I don't know what to
think about the Free Market News Network, but I'll be objective...
All the articles discuss Bernard von NotHaus as being the first to design an
Organic Monetary Standard. What does this mean? Is this about basing a
monetary system on food production? What about creating a dollar system
based upon the environment? Does the Cascadian dollar do that? Does
anyone have anything against Bernard von NotHaus? Sincerely, Collin

Campus Antiwar Protest Brutally Repressed,
Take Action to Demand: Drop the Charges Now!
Three days of protest engulfed De Anza Community College in Cupertino,
California when former Secretary of State Colin Powell came to speak
November 9-11, 2005. On Friday, November 11, over 150 protesters rallied
militantly outside the hall where Powell was speaking. One person was
arrested inside the hall disrupting Powell's speech. Outside the hall,
Campus Police, San Jose City Police and Santa Clara County Sheriffs - some
in riot gear - engaged in racial and religious profiling. Sheriffs
brutally arrested seven students singled out from among the protesters -
all of whom were people of color, six of whom were Muslim.

Corner of Geary and Stockton Close to Powell St. BART Station
Stand with Palestine and join the candle light vigil on Tuesday November 29, 2005; Stand with the children of Bethlehem and say no to the continuing repression, killing, imprisonment, torture, expulsion and occupation of the indigenous people of Palestine by Israel?s apartheid forces. Israel continues to receive monetary and political support from the US government.
On November 29, 2005 we will celebrate the International Day in Solidarity with the Palestinian People by raising a candle in Union Square and asking Christmas shoppers to remember Bethlehem and the star of Christmas by divesting from Israel. The star?s brightness will not return to Bethlehem as long as the apartheid wall is casting its racist shadow on Palestine's children. Our candles will shine over Union Square and call for the return of justice to the land of Palestine.
We will also join the international activities in the week of action against the illegal apartheid wall, erected by the Apartheid State of Israel in order to steal more land, and expel more Palestinians. The apartheid wall was declared illegal by the International Court, and violates the Geneva Conventions.

Every other Tuesday night, Encounter Studio presents classic and cult films on an amazingly bright, sharp digital projector in a comfortable home environment. Our feature presentation this week is "Videodrome" by the acclaimed Canadian director of the macabre, David Cronenberg.
Written and directed by David Cronenberg
Starring James Woods and Deborah Harry
Cronenberg's deconstruction of television's dark side is part horror film and part psychological thriller, with unforgettably disturbing imagery and dialog worthy of cinematic immortality. James Woods portrays a cable television programmer who stumbles upon a pirate satellite broadcast that features the most shocking and depraved content imaginable: apparently genuine scenes of torture and murder. This "Videodrome" program warps the minds of its viewers, causing hallucinations and ultimately resulting in the viewers' total detachment from reality. As Woods's character descends into madness, we see laid bare his terrifying visions of the distortion and mutilation of the body as it merges with technology. Despite its gruesome content, this is an important film from an intellectual and historical standpoint. Although it is not for the faint of heart, "Videodrome" should be seen by anyone who casts a critical eye toward the evils of media manipulation.
"...whatever appears on the television screen emerges as raw experience for those who watch it. Therefore television is reality, and reality is less than television." -- Professor Brian O'Blivion

# The Veil of Berta Wed Nov 30 7:00 pm
The film is FREE but $5 donations are accepted
THE VEIL OF BERTA Presented by Yael Martinez
This film delicately narrates the story of Berta Quintreman, an
elderly indigenous woman who, at the age of 88, led the last group
opposing the construction of the Ralco Project, a gigantic dam that
will stop the flow of the Bio Bio River and flood the land where her
native Mapuche Pewenche community has lived for centuries. A woman
with a strong personality and a unique blend of humor and energy,
Berta lives alone on her small pieces of land and observes all the
traditions of her people. On a daily basis she greets the trees and
the sun, drinks mate (a traditional herbal tea) with her dead, and
says her prayers. But at the same time we will see that she confronts
the authorities of Endesa (a Spanish transnational company) and the
Chilean government. She manages to halt the machinery and works
together with other families to prevent the flooding of their land.
The Mapuche people are the largest indigenous tribe of southern
Chile. After the ending of Pinochet's military dictatorship and under
increasing pressure from forestry companies, the Mapuche took up the
struggle in the 1990's to recover their territory. This film is
directed by Jeanette Paill�n. Jeannette herself will attend the
showing to comment on her work and the situation of the Mapuche
people today. Jeannette's works have been screened internationally
since 1994. Her first documentary, Wallmapu, was awarded at the 2003
Human Rights Film Festival in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Jeannette was
also festival coordinator of the 2004 CLACPI Festival of Indigenous
Film and Video in Santiago, Chile.
Before and after the film, everyone's invited to indulge in our
Humanist Coffee House.

# "Stop Global Warming" Actions on December 3
Saturday, December 3, 2005 more on this date
Climate Crisis Coalition Organizing Nationwide
"Stop Global Warming" Actions on December 3
Climate Crisis, USA Join the World!
http://www.climatecrisis.us today announced that it is
organizing actions across the United States on and
around December 3 to demand that the U.S. government
support action that is commensurate with the urgency of
the deepening climate crisis.
"Scores of Stop Global Warming local actions will be
happening during the Nov. 28-Dec. 9 time period when
the huge, United Nations Climate Conference in Montreal
takes place," said Ted Glick, spokesperson for the
group. "We will be acting in concert with hundreds of
thousands of people in at least 28 countries around
the world who are making December 3rd an
International Day of Action to Stop Global Warming."
The Climate Crisis group is demanding that the U.S.
government join the world by ratifying the Kyoto
Climate Crisis also demands that the federal government
withdraw its annual $25 billion in subsidies for coal
and oil and create equivalent subsidies for clean,
safe, non-nuclear energy alternatives; that it
dramatically strengthen energy conservation and fuel
efficiency standards; that it plan for a just
transition for workers, Indigenous communities and
others affected by a change to clean energy; and that
it actively defend the world's forests and support
community-run tree planting campaigns.
States where local actions will be taking place
include: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado,
Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois,
Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and
In D.C. on December 3, scores of hybrid vehicles
organized by the Chesapeake Climate Action Network will
circle the White House. In New Orleans the Alliance for
Affordable Energy will be holding a Stop Global Warming
event in the French Quarter. In Los Angeles on December
2, the Labor/Community Strategy Center will be doing an
action calling for an expansion of the city's bus fleet
to provide badly-needed public transportation which
will also cut down on car-producing greenhouse gases.
And in New York, also on December 2, a coalition of
groups will rally in Foley Square across from the
Federal Building calling for the federal government to
stop its obstructionist efforts and instead act to
address this urgent crisis.
In many localities, following the lead of organizers of
a massive march on December 3 in Montreal, participants
in the actions will try to hold their breath for 60
seconds. USA Join the World! coordinator Glick
explained that, 'Doing so reminds us all how important
clean air is to all living things. It reminds us of the
urgency of our work. It is a metaphor for what people
on some Pacific islands may soon have to do as the
oceans rise and their islands disappear and breathing
becomes impossible.'

A Question of Conscience: Martin Sheen & Fr. Roy Bourgeois
Newman Hall 2700 Dwight Way at College Ave. Berkeley
In conversation about their lives, work & the legacy of Fr. Bill O�Donnell
With music by Francisco Herrera Benefit for the San Carlos Foundation
TICKETS $25 program, $25 reception, available from the San Carlos Foundation,
Black Oak Books in Berkeley, and the Newman Center
Eight years ago, San Carlos Foundation Co-Founders Fr. Bill O�Donnell and Actor Martin Sheen teamed up for the first of three popular public �Conversations.� The School of the Americas (SOA), the US Government�s Torture Training Academy for Foreign Military Officers, was a prime focus of their conversation. It is fitting -- two weeks after the annual protest and a week shy of the 2nd anniversary of Fr. Bill�s death -- that SOA Watcch Founder Fr. Roy Bourgeois take Fr. Bill�s seat for this, the next conversation. For more information contact: Dr. Davida Coady, President
San Carlos Foundation 510-525-3787 Bill Joyce 510-482-1062
# FYI the US runs a school of torture at Ft. Benning, GA
Previously called School Of the Americas (SOA),
now called Western Hemispheric Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC).
Congress demanded SOA be closed down. So they simply renamed it.
SOA used to be in Panama, until Manuel Noriega said it had to go.
Noriega was an important drug smuggling ally for the CIA.
When he broke with the CIA because he was not happy about the US school of torture in Panama, his days were numbered.
Two other notable men who the CIA made alliances with:
Sadam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden.
The CIA makes allies of people it can use to torture and murder it's enemies.
The CIA was arming, training and using Osama Bin Laden to fight the USSR in Afghanistan.
Before Sept 11, 2001, the CIA was negotiating an oil pipeline through Afghanistan to be built by Haliburton, paid for by Enron, to supply Unocal 76. Those negotiations broke down. That was plan A.
Plan B was flying our own airplanes into our own buildings and blaming them.
SEE: Operation Northwoods (1962) Plan B has been on the table for 43 years.
Cheney, Perle, Wolfowitz, et al are part of Project for a new American Century (PNAC) who wrote: (5 years before 911)
Without a Pearl Harbor style invasion the American people will not accept
the empirical mobilization necessary to seize middle eastern oil.
CIA initiated Saddam Hussein by having him commit an assasination in Iraq to prove himself.
Once installed to power by CIA, Saddam did oversee the torture and execution of an entire generation Iraqis.
Every Iraqi student or activist who had political aspirations was killed by Saddam who was a CIA operative.

# The Heydey of Natural History Thu Dec 8 7:30-9 pm Free.
Never has the status of science been held in higher esteem and the
public taken a bigger interest in natural history than during the
mid-19th century in America and Britain. This was a time of great
voyages of discovery, when fabulous fossil beasts were first
unearthed and put on public display. Most of today's renowned science
museums, including the California Academy of Sciences, were
established amid this enchantment with natural history. No middle-
class home was thought complete without a display of butterfly
collections or stuffed birds. John Dillon, Science Director at the
Randall Museum and President of the San Francisco Amateur
Astronomers, will explore the nature and extent of this fervor and
how Charles Darwin's Origin of Species influenced it. San Francisco

# Panel Discussion: Int'l Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers
Dec 17 10AM-2PM $5 donation
Dec 17th, Third Annual International Day to End Violence Against Sex
International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers is meant to
call attention to hate crimes and violence against sex workers all
over the globe. Originally thought of by Dr. Annie Sprinkle and
started by the Sex Workers Outreach Project USA as a memorial and
vigil for the victims of the Green River Killer in Seattle
Washington, it has grown to be a day for strategizing to end these
acts as well as remember the victims. Over thirty cities around the
world have participated in this event.
This year Sex Workers Outreach Project is expanding events to cover
the entire week of December 17th so that we may diversify the forums
for discussion around violence against sex workers.
The Panel Discussion portion of these events on Dec. 17th from
10AM-2PM will focus on both identifying forms of violence against sex
workers, including structural violence and stigmatization, as well as
thinking of solutions. Panelists will include sex workers' rights
activists, sex workers, prison abolitionists, law enforcement, and more!
Our tentative schedule for this entire week is as follows:
Thursday, December 15th: 6:30 PM-8:30 PM
Memorial and Community Discussion
Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists
1924 Cedar x Bonita
Saturday, December 17th: 10 AM-2 PM

Wed Dec 21 DAY OF GENOCIDE: Pillgrims Landed 1620
# Unsilent Night Wed Dec 21 6:45 PM Free
----/ Event Description /-----------------------------------------------
"Unsilent Night," composer Phil Kline's free, all-volunteer outdoor
boombox holiday concert, returns to San Francisco for its third
annual performance on Wednesday, December 21, 2005, at 6:45 PM.
A moving piece of ambient public art, Unsilent Night can be compared
to a holiday caroling party, except that participants don't sing.
Instead, each carries a boombox playing a separate cassette, CD, or
MP3 that becomes part of the piece. In effect, Kline and his co-
performers become single elements in a huge, mobile sound system.
Performed within the confines of the city streets, Unsilent Night
reverberates off the cars and buildings, resulting in a magnificent,
drifting cloud of shimmering, echoing sound. The 43-minute piece
includes chiming bells, choral voices, and various electronic
effects. (Kline cites Brian Eno and Charles Ives among his influences.)
Kline has performed Unsilent Night in Manhattan every year city since
1992. In San Francisco last year, some 500 people took part. This
year marks the first chance for iPod users to participate, as Kline
will make MP3 files of the piece available on his website.
Participants are invited to bring a boombox to Mission Dolores Park
at 18th and Dolores Streets, gathering at 6:45 PM. After Kline
distributes tapes and CDs among the players, the group will begin the
piece, strolling a mile-long, predetermined route though the Mission,
Noe, and Castro districts. The event will be held rain or shine.

Cloud Integration should allow the accessibility of high level data which modern organizations require to operate their businesses. Constellation estimates that more than 2,300 cloud software applications are available for the enterprise, and recent surveys show that organization uses more than 23 enterprise cloud software applications on an average. The importance placed on having access to data rather than owning it also results to the prioritization of cloud integration. The report also cites the Internet of Things as a major driver for cloud integration. For enterprises that have recognized the need for more efficient integrations, have already started to handle their cloud integration challenges. Though a difficult task, cloud integration is the main requirement for digital business effectiveness. Understanding cloud integration is a key requirement for that success. Read more at:

John Ramsland reviews 'Monash' by Grantlee Kieza and 'Maestro John Monash' by Tim Fischer
John RamslandMonday, 21 December 2015
While A.J.P. Taylor's famous assessment of John Monash was that he was the sole general of creative originality in World War I, the word 'creative' here is misleading. The real measure of Monash's celebrated genius, as Grantlee Kieza frequently points out in this massive tome, was that he learnt, not without mistakes, how to maximise every tool he was given in an in ...

Live in Switzerland in 2002.
We are Motörhead and we're gonna kick your ass!, has become a legendary sentence that Lemmy bellows out as an opener for every Motörhead live show. It all started in 1975, when bassist/singer Lemmy formed his own group Motörhead with two of his buddies after he had been sacked from the psychedelic hard rock outfit Hawkwind. Named after the last song Lemmy had written for Hawkwind, Motörhead set out to conquer the globe with their own version of high speed rock 'n' roll. Also in 2002 'The World's Loudest and Hardest Band' rocked the Open Air in Gampel, Switzerland for swiss-TV. And still, their motto is: 'a guitar riff shouldn't be longer than it takes to open a bottle of beer.'

Notre Dame boys basketball advances to Class M quarterfinals
Recommended Video:
FAIRFIELD -- Two down and three to go for the Notre Dame of Fairfield boys basketball team.
Sixth-seeded Notre Dame advanced to the Class M quarterfinals with a 75-60 victory over 22nd-seeded Granby Memorial in the second round of the state playoffs. The Lancers raised their record to 20-5 and need three more victories to cut down the nets at Mohegan Sun next weekend.
They play at third-seeded Kaynor Tech of Waterbury (20-2) Monday in the quarterfinals.
Granby Memorial ended its season at 11-12 despite giving Notre Dame fits in the first half. The game was tied 28-28 at the break because the underdog Bears forced 12 Lancer turnovers before the break while committing only seven.
But in the second half, Notre Dame picked up its defensive pressure and forced 17 turnovers, 10 in the third quarter, to take control of the game.
"Our second half was good," Lancers coach Vinny Laczkoski said. "We had too many turnovers in the first half. What helped us in the second half was our defensive rotations and pressure, which helped turn the game around."
Junior Danny Upchurch deftly ran Notre Dame's offense setting up junior Earl Coleman's layup. Coleman drew contact, and hit the free throw for the 3-point play, giving the Lancers the lead for good, 33-32, with 6:34 remaining in the third quarter.
"I just try to get my teammates the ball in good position," Upchurch said.
The play started a 15-0 run and turned the tide. Freshman CJ Davidson stole the ensuing inbounds pass and laid it in.
"CJ, Danny and Earl were fantastic on the press," Laczkoski said.
Coleman had five steals, two off of inbounds passes.
"We decided to press them in the second half," Coleman said. "I was able to read them and get the steals."
Upchurch set up senior Arkel Miles' layup to cap the run after another steal.
Granby Memorial tried to claw back and cut the lead to 47-39 behind Nick Mazotta (20 points) and Carlin Champion (16 points).
However, Upchurch answered by swishing an off-balance trey at the buzzer to extend the lead to 50-39, after three quarters. Miles' (19 points, 18 rebounds) work in the paint helped push the lead to 73-53 with 1:20 to go in the game.
"I just concentrated more on my layups, free throws and rebounds," Miles said.
Upchurch said, "Arkel came out ready to play in the second half, and got to the foul line."
The Bears' biggest lead was 14-10 in the first quarter.
"Our kids can play," Granby coach Walter Hansen said. "We thought we could negate what they do with their guards and big fellow (Miles), but we had a rough six minutes in the second half. They have more depth than us and wore us down. Their pressure got to us."
Nick Mazotta 9 1-2 20 Carlin Champion 6 0-0 16 Danny Clark 2 0-2 4 Michael Noyes 7 0-0 14 Curtis Field 0 0-0 0 Zach Quinn 1 0-0 2. Totals: 27 1-4 60.
Danny Upchurch 4 4-4 15 Arkel Miles 5 9-16 19 Earl Coleman 6 6-8 18 C.J. Davidson 4 2-2 10 Jaylen Jennings 2 0-0 4 Jake Heaton 2 0-0 6 Nnamdi Gogoh 0 0-0 0 Donte Peeler 1 0-0 3. Totals: 24 21-30 75.
3-pointers: G--Champion 4, Mazotta. ND--Upchurch 3, Heaton 2, Peeler. G--Mazotta had 15 rebounds. Clark had 10 rebounds. Noyes had 6 assists and 5 steals. ND--Upchurch had 5 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals. Coleman had 4 assists, 6 rebounds, 5 steals and 2 blocked shots. Miles had 18 rebounds and 1 blocked shot. Davidson had 5 rebounds and 4 steals. Jennings had 4 rebounds. Peeler had 4 rebounds. Heaton had 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 blocked shot.

Your Council
For the latest Covid-19 (Coronavirus) information - click here
A £4 million three-screen cinema with a restaurant and food court is being moved forward for Sleaford.
North Kesteven District Council has already committed £1.5 million to a cinema project and the authority has now agreed to allocate an additional £2.5 million to the Heart of Sleaford regeneration scheme.
This will bring forward a long-held aspiration for a cinema and also deliver a food court, public open space and a footbridge over the River Slea connecting Money's Yard to the Market Place.
Following the unanimously supported investment decision by Full Council last night (Thursday July 11), work will proceed on the design concepts and in processing a planning application for submission as soon as possible. Ultimately the build contract will be managed by the landowner.
A selection process will take place to find a cinema operator. No opening date has yet been scheduled.
Leader of the Council, Cllr Richard Wright, said the new building would be sited on unoccupied land, behind shops on Bristol Arcade and the complex of buildings alongside the Library, where recent work to enhance the historic frontages has just been completed.
"Local people continue to tell us that they want a modern multi-screen cinema and this proposal will deliver that as a central part of a major economic boost to Sleaford town centre. Providing a cinema is a bold expression by the District Council in support of a modern, multi-use town which meets the needs of a growing and changing town," said Cllr Wright.
"This is much more than a financial investment; it is a game-changer for Sleaford and a massive investment for the whole District. It is the fulfilment of a long-term aspiration for this Council and the people of the area and a commitment to the future vibrancy of our market town."
Across three screens, the new cinema will have a seating capacity of 300 which means it will be commercially viable and capable of hosting the latest cinema releases.
As part of the design concept, the cinema construction will incorporate and regenerate the currently vacant and derelict historic vaulted Buttermarket to become a landmark building and contribute towards a visual focal point for central Sleaford.
"Another great plus for this scheme is that the new pedestrian bridge over the River Slea will help to regenerate this hidden part of historic Sleaford. We are also planning to invest in quality hard and soft landscaping to compliment the setting of the new cinema and food court. There will also be a public art feature to give a focal point and draw the eye of visitors from Market Place and Money's Yard," said Cllr Wright.
Funding towards an earlier scheme for a two-screen cinema was approved in April 2018, but it has now become clear that three screens are needed for the project to be economically viable.
"With the imminent opening of a five-screen cinema in Grantham and plans to increase the Kinema at Woodhall Spa to three screens, this underlines the need for three screens in Sleaford to enhance the town's vibrancy and appeal. This development will be great for the evening and night time economy as it will draw lots of people into the town," said Cllr Wright.
Members from across the District spoke enthusiastically in support of the difference it would make, with Sleaford Member Cllr David Suiter saying: "It will bring people to Sleaford and additional business to the town's traders" while Cllr Robert Oates said he knew townsfolk would 'very much look forward to the additional facility' and the uplift it would bring the town.'
Although Cllr Ian Carrington represents an area almost 20 miles away, he said what was good for Sleaford was good for the entirety of North Kesteven, promoting a vibrant and active economy and cultural scene.
It is estimated that the local spend on cinema tickets could be £750,000 a year which would generate an extra £1.5 million in spending on other goods and services in the town without including food and drink.
Robert Hodgson, a director of landowning company, said "North Kesteven District Council has been incredible proactive and positive in its vision to bring this scheme forward in order to meet a long-held aspiration of the town and restore some of the town's historical legacy whilst opening it up for a new generation to enjoy and benefit from. It's a very exciting proposal."

5 mistakes small business make on their terms of service and privacy policy
Starting a business takes an extreme amount of work. There's countless hours spent on developing your product, graphics, websites, business cards, apps, partnerships, and operating agreements, and this is usually before the company earns its first dollar. Somewhere in that tornado of activity is the website's terms of service and privacy policy. Usually a quick copy and paste from another site will check off this box, and it is time to move onto the more interesting parts of running a business.
The quick and easy route can be very expensive.
What are the terms of service and privacy policy for a website?
What many small business owners do not realize is both the privacy policy and terms of service are the agreement between the business and the user. Failing to abide by these documents expose companies to fines and ligation. These documents may limit liabilities, set choice of law and choice of venue, and state what actions the business will do to protect user and customer information. A business founder would never sign a sales contract or lease without reviewing it in full. However, the same founder may enter an agreement with every website visitor and customer that they pulled from another website and never read. The website visitor probably isn't reading these documents, until, for whatever reason, they start looking for ways to sue.
Even this website includes a privacy policy and terms of service, including a popup letting you know our standard practices. Without it, we would be inviting a lot of trouble.
1. Copying and pasting from another website, or using a template.
Google employs a lot of very smart attorneys, but their terms of service will not fit every company. Netflix can't copy and paste's Google's terms of service, because while they are both tech companies, what they do are very different, resulting in very different legal issues. These are not boilerplate agreements, but highly tailored to what the company does, how they do it, and where it's located. If there's an app, the terms of service will cover the specifics of the app, too. The privacy policy will set the guidelines for what happens to customer information naturally gathered from the app. Edits must be done with an eye on all four corners of the agreement. These agreements will typically reference exceptions, examples, and guidelines within the document. If those references are gone, you may have a huge problem.
Simply put, these documents are not one size fits all.
2. Authorizing the use of cookies.
Nearly every website uses cookies, mostly for innocuous purposes to improve the user experience. For instance, after a visitor dismisses that aforementioned popup, our website saves a small text file on their computer saying the alert has been shown and to hide it on future visits. It helps limit unnecessary popups, which the user should appreciate. Websites have used cookies for decades, saving dozens of pieces of information to improve how the user interacts with the website. However, that may be illegal unless it is spelled out in a privacy policy. There is currently a court split indicating this standard practice may or may not violate the Wiretap Act.
For a business owner, a "court split" means a lot of legal fees before we find out if a court will allow suit. It is much easier to include a section where the user agrees to allow the use of cookies.
3. Setting choice of law and choice of venue.
Here's another common problem: a business is sued in a court on the other side of the country. The business has never operated there, never sold a product there, and no employee has ever been within hundreds of miles of the court. The problem? The terms of service, copied from elsewhere, states any disputes will be brought in that court, following that state's law. If you copied Google's terms of service, you are now stuck paying Silicon Valley attorneys to apply California law in a court in Santa Clara County, California. Plan on plenty of plane trips for hearings and depositions.
If a business is stuck suing a customer for failing to make payments, that suit will have to come in the court specified in the terms of service. If you sue a local customer in a local court, their attorney is likely to have the case thrown out. They can use your own terms of service against you, and toss the case because it's filed in the wrong court.
This can become an expensive and logistical nightmare frequently encountered because no one ever reviewed what they put on their website.
4. Failing to make the terms of service enforceable.
Remember that popup? Websites don't like adding popups, especially for something that isn't driving sales. It is becoming industry standard to include a popup with links to the privacy policy and terms of service. You might remember in May getting dozens, if not hundreds, of emails about updates to privacy policies and terms of service. The European Union instituted the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), setting guidelines on privacy policy practices. Those emails were required by GDPR, and provided privacy policy updates and changes. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) hasn't put these standards on US companies yet, but you still need to show users and customers had a chance to review the agreements.
It's not clear if solitary link at the bottom of a webpage ever reached the visitor. Get ahead of both GDPR and possible FTC standards, and use a small popup on your webpage with links to both the terms of service and privacy policy. It could save thousands in legal fees proving those are enforceable.
5. Not doing what is in the privacy policy.
This is surprisingly popular. We explained how Facebook keeps getting in trouble with the FTC: they haven't followed their privacy policy and terms of service. Facebook has, at times, unintentionally let unauthorized people access to client information. They have also moved their platform improvements ahead of their privacy policy. For instance, a new service might not comply with their old policy. Since the FTC has been very slow with providing guidelines for privacy practices, businesses are more or less bound by their own privacy policies.
For instance, a company gets in trouble when their privacy policy states client info will never be sold or transferred to another entity. For tax or legal reasons, a company may switch from an LLC to an S-Corp, or even switched to multiple entities. Transferring client information could run afoul of the privacy policy. Even using Google Analytics may involve a third party (Google) reviewing information covered in the privacy policy.
This can be particularly dangerous with a copied and pasted privacy policy, or even using an online template. If it's not what your business actually does, you have broken your agreement and put the company under pretty hefty liability.
Many small businesses don't understand the importance of having a good terms of service and privacy policy. Avoiding these five pitfalls can save a lot of headaches, but there are many more mistakes frequently seen in these documents. Overlooking the importance of these documents can cost thousands the very first time problems arise. A qualified attorney should review terms of service and privacy policies.
