3/16/2000: Hearings on Religious Persecution in China: Dr. Kim-Kwong Chan Oral Testimony |
March 16, 2000 (Note: These are unedited and uncorrected transcripts DR. CHAN: Honorable Chairman and the Commissioners, I began to be in touch with the Christian community in China as early as 1979, before the emergence of the officially recognized church or Protestant committee. I know since I've been working in China, I've been -- traveled to all the provinces except two, Xinjiang and Tibet, working with Chinese Christian community in more than 50 provinces, and with it preach and teach in more than 400 communities. And as of now, I am one week in China and one week in Hong Kong with staying with different groups and doing trainings, key things, not only with the government-recognized Christian communities, but also with the nonrecognized ones. Because my religious leaders of the nonrecognized churches, and they have been in and out of jails since the '50's. And I also work not only with the Protestants, but the Catholics as well because of my background: Born as a Catholic, raised up in the Protestant tradition, ordained in the evangelical tradition. I have also obtained a political license in Catholic theology. So I was able to be accepted by both communities in China, in both the underground, nonrecognized and also the recognized churches. My testimony are basically based on my observations and the facts that I have been observing. That's the categorical differences between the concept of freedom of religious in China, that in China it is basically a freedom of religious belief, not freedom of religion as what we understand in the west. Freedom of religious belief puts religion in the very personal domain; in other words, we are allowed to have religious beliefs, but not necessarily religion as a powerful entity in this society to express your faith. And what makes China quite different from other countries, is the concept of religious beliefs in which all the religious activities are being defined to operate in a confined framework of reference, including limited or confined space and time. Beyond that parameter is regarded as illegal. And furthermore, children are not allowed to have religious instruction, because anybody who is under 18 years of age does not have full right citizen. They are not allowed to be subject to religious faith. Therefore, in terms of Christian doctrine, pedobaptism is not allowed to be practiced in China. And furthermore there's quite a clear definition on state government over religion; in other words, all religious groups are subject, not only to the government of the government, but also under the definition defined by the government. "What do you serve the most?" It states the government has the total right to define what is a religion and what is not. As it was said here today, there are five religions officially recognized in China. But recently I think the government is beginning to recognize Judaism, as two synagogues are allowed to operate, one in Shanghai, the other one in Beijing; and maybe there are other religions who will be allowed too. But this is not in the hands of the Christian society but in the hands of the government. And furthermore, all those religions of religious groups in that category may be labeled as "further superstitions" or in some cases as a "cult," but again the definition is also in the hands of the government with no clear guidelines. And although to the government it seems to have very clear policies on religions, but there seems to be a wide diversity on the implementation of the religious policies. On the one hand, there are many cases that have been expressed by other witnesses and reports of grossly abuse of religious freedoms in many cases. In other cases it seems to be the implementation of the religious policy that is more relaxed than what we have been hearing; for example, there's a county right in the border of Mylan and Burma called Ibubuganty pangi (phonetic). Amongst the 85,000 population in those regions, 80 percent of those are Christians; and there were 273 religions and 273 churches there. And whenever the government wants to do anything, they have to consult the church. And this happen in China. And the former government is also an elder of the church. So in that particular county, it seems that the church has a strong domination over the politics, the local politics. But in a neighboring county with the same prefecture, I've been there several times, doing a few work studies, and there are several thousand Christians but they were not even allowed to register. Although they offered for the requirement of registration, in spite of the intervention of the government, the local government refuses to recognize the presence of Christians, and even the believers' houses are being burned down regularly. And it is all happening in China just one next to another. And there seems to be a very overlapping areas being treated as so-called registered and nonregistered groups. And the relationship between these two groups are more than trivial differences on church and state relationship, but also with the local politics, personality pressures, and also formal relations existing among the leadership. Within the Christian communities, for example, the government recognizes that churches there are more than ten million followers; and it's not very small number, and they are operating more than 25 to 37 seminaries and Bible schools and also operating hundreds of training centers. But at the same time, within this so-called officially recognized churches, there is the gray areas existing and overlapping with other known registered groups. Some of those groups may be at odds with each other. Others may be fight with each other. The relationship is far from just a black-and-white, yes-and-no, cowboy-and-indian scenario. It is far more complex than that. And I realize that there are many cases of which they grossly abuse of religious freedoms; and many cases, they officially recognized the churches, both the Catholic and Protestant, are working totally on behalf of government to suppress other Christian groups. But there are also many, many cases especially occur in the new generation of the younger leadership who are fighting for the officially recognized space and time for more freedoms for the believers to express their faith. And the Christian community in general, both the Protestant and Catholic, are still growing. The Bible are still quite very readily available, and there is more Christian literature published than ever before, and published by the local and also central councils. And the community churches are being dedicated almost on a daily basis. For the past four years alone, Christian Council have helped to build more than 100 churches in China, and another 20 centers too; and those are being operated quite autonomously by regional Christian groups. Although the essential government policies would curb such a growth, but the local politics, the local situations seem to dictate most of the religious implementation of the policies and especially in the rural areas. Many churches now operate kindergartens, clinics, old-age hospices for old patients, even hospitals. And I can see that they are gradually opening up in many areas to outsiders, although there are policies that restrict the visitation of foreign groups with the local people. But there again seems to be quite an initiative on behalf of government, especially in the most remote provinces, to open up to have contacts so that they more responsive to recruiting in those -- through those church connections. However, there seems to be quite clear restrictions on the teachings and preachings. If there's anything on the preachings that seem to be against the government's policy -- in other words, the prophetic role of the church cannot be exercised in this case; otherwise you will be labeled as anti-government, and you will become automatically a political case. In such a case, the government will interpret it as a political issue, brought up in an issue of religious freedom. And all pastors are confined to the pastorates, and they cannot freely serve in other cases without the government's permission. There are certain restrictions, granted, existing in China, but on the other hand, there are certain rooms to operate in this current situation. And I would really appeal to the Commission and to the public that the situation in China is rather complicated. It is not a black-and-white issue. And the reports that we are getting are more or less from the areas that are more connected with outside groups, but the vast majority of the Christian corporation of the Christian population in the rural areas, their cases, not heard, not being reported, for better or for worse situations. And furthermore, there are huge groups of Protestants and Catholics who are operating within the government-recognized framework of references. They do deserve our support, sympathy, because they too are fighting for religious liberties in China. And they may not be necessarily labeled as agents of the Communist Party, although some may, some may not. Furthermore, for the unregistered groups, they are not that unified as one entity. There are lots of factions, split in groups, are kind of personality differences. And is not just one group, but many groups operating at the same time with different motive and difference in basics. And that seems to be a very confusing and complicated part of the China now. For the Catholic situation, I had the privilege to be in contact with some of the newly consecrated bishops and also hearing news of certain bishops who are being, quote, unquote, "reported arrested," especially Bishop Jon Burjo. And two days before I came here, I got a confirmation by the municipal governor of Fuzhou that bishop is actually now in hospital, not under detention. And there has been great pressure from the government to coerce the Catholic communities to be more distant from Rome and to be more aligned with the government policy, but it seems that this kind of pressure had been increasing but with strong resistance even from the government-recognized Catholic community. For example, recently for the last two months -- there are more than 15 dioceses in the Catholic Church, they were forced by the government to elect their bishop ready for consecration. But I talked to several of those candidates. They all say that they will refuse to receive any government-forced consecration, unless it is approved by the people. And that is a comforting sign, that although they are operating within a limit area, that they still clearly know where they stand. Thank you. Tags: |

"Trench Warfare" And "Civil War" Over Confiscatory Taxes In France
Similar Articles You Might Enjoy:
Only in France would there be an employER union
in Sweden to!!!
There are THOUSANDS of unions in America for employERS and business...THEY'RE CALLED LOBBIES...the people who paid off your Congress to destroy the middle-class by destroying worker's unions. Only when the working class asks for a union does the pig society call it "socialism".
The unions representing American workers do not speak of central banks sucking the value out of the dollar nor do they speak of the conditions of workers who make things so much cheaper or the unrestrained immigration. Most union workers buy their share of foreign crap. I would open a business tomorrow if I thought a. Americans would buy local and b. my risk would be appreciated instead of leeched off by bureacrats. Why is Michael Jordan not employing the inner city to design and make shoes? Because that would be a risky investment.
Because some people as employees would produce negative wealth. They talk about raising the minimum wage without thinking that some people aren't capable having adding anything to the productivity of an enterprise.
The socialist piggish unions don't create any jobs at all. Neither does that jug-eared moron in the white house. All those horrible businesses provide the jobs and resulting taxes that the left wing parasites need to survive.
I was with you untill "left wing". Rothasshole would be pround. Keep that two party meme going.
Sorry You Sir have no brain to wash
Well.... he is in a sense partly right. I think we have to learn to distinquish between a business and a welfare recipient. There are many corporate welfare recipients. They are no better or more moral than their lower class brethren. It has to stop.
That being said unions have also sucked at the tit of gvoernment for far to long and are due for a house cleaning and a change of rules as well. No offense to hard working union people - and I've said it here before - but you have no right to crush freedom of association simply because another worker does not want to join. If you want respect you first have to be respectable.
Nuff said.
Now if the french could only escape French taxes, we would all be better off!

You know what i think.
Intresting ;)
THis is my opinion of guy that never even drive the real car. This car looks good but you (xj220) can do lot better.
@ Rafel & Will: Thanks :)
@ Geminiyo: What do you mean exactly?
I tryed to say about ur design. Im sure thats what i said is actual. My knowlage about 91' daytona is really lamo. But you can make better the way u make it more agressive... so when player will think yeah i want this car bad...even i want to buy this car...thats where the cars design is agressive. I dont think this car is based truely car recreation for HS. Maybe its just prototype, thats where ill stop the talk.
Uh, well, I'm not sure if I got you right, but this was an actual production car so my possiblities to make it more aggressive in any way are kind of limited. I know this isn't a "typical" NFS car since it's neither rare nor expensive nor fast, but that's just the way a Daytona is.
But don't worry, you can expect faster and more aggressive cars to be released in the future.

Subject: Death under suspicious circumstances
Date: Sat, 5 Feb 2000 09:12:25 -0000
I am new to this list, and am posting my research interests:
Percy READ married to Jean ??
I have two different family stories of how Percy died. How do I go about
verifying or rejecting these stories:
Percy died as a result of a felon's blow, when he disturbed a burglary in
progress at his home. Another version states that he was killed by a crooked
policeman who wanted Percy's farm. ????
Percy's father was Jonathan Cornelius READ. Percy came to Australia from
Beccles, Suffolk, England. He died in Australia. He served in the British
Army in WWI and I believe was given land here as part of a soldiers
settlement. He and Jean may have lived at Mallanganee NSW. I believe Jean
lived at maurooba (Sydney) in a nursing home which closed. She then went to
live in Ballina.
Unfortunately, the only information to date any of this is Percy's parents
d.o.b's and marriage date:
Jonathan Cornelius READ - b. Oct 05 1867
Emma BUCK - b. July 23 1866
Married : June 1888.
Percy eldest sister (Eva Alice May READ) was born oct 10, 1989.
Help please!!!!

Shit gave me more nightmares than any Silent Hill or Resident Evil could ever hope for. When it comes to games that have cute dolphins on the cover, this one is the most misleading.
LMAO! I love Ecco the Dolphin - it has such a unique feel to it. I love both soundtracks, too. They give the game so much feeling. When I was younger, the octopus in the Undercaves scared the hell out of me. I also couldn't even pass the Undercaves because the game was so hard (I had it on PC... it came with the Windows 95 Packard Bell we had). The first time I played it properly and completed it was back in 2008 when I bought it for XBLA.

In the wake of the election, following predictions that Republican Mitt Romney would definitively beat President Barack Obama, commentators and politicos like Karl Rove and Dick Morris have received a great deal of criticism. And it seems, at least according to sources who spoke exclusively with New York Magazine, that Fox News is now intentionally keeping both men off the air.
In the wake of the elections, "multiple Fox sources" told the outlet that the network's president, Roger Ailes, has been repositioning on-air coverage to comply with the post-election climate. Among his changes, he has purportedly sought to remove from air any "faces associated with the election."
This change, in effect at least temporarily, has meant that Morris and Rove, two men who had prominent placement during the 2012 presidential campaign, have appeared more infrequently since Obama's re-election win. New York Magazine explains the details of the regulatory changes:

ST. LOUIS (AP) - One year removed from a one-win season, the St. Louis Rams are one win away from the postseason.
All they need is a win Sunday night at Seattle, where they haven't prevailed since 2004, to win the NFC West. After living through the misery of 2009, they're overjoyed to have the chance.
And in prime time, too. The NFL used its flexible scheduling policy to move Rams (7-8) vs. Seahawks (6-9) to an evening time slot. If the Seahawks win, they'll become the first division
champion with a losing record in league history.
A win would give the Rams, the sad sacks who were 6-42 from 2007-09, their first playoff berth since 2004 and first division title since '03, when the Greatest Show on Turf was still going strong. So what if they'd be only 8-8? They'd get a home game to open the playoffs.

Buffalo came back with a 4-3 win the nightcap. The Bisons got all the offense they need on a Matt Den Dekker grand slam in the second inning.

0Intelligent data mining used to fight gun crime
A project to test the feasibility of a pan-European ballistics and crime information network has chosen data mining and analytics software from SAS to achieve key technical goals.
Called Project Odyssey and coordinated by Sheffield Hallam University (SHU), the main objective is to develop a database containing firearms crime information jointly compiled by sources, including the Royal Military Academy and Europol, with sensitive information invisible to certain groups for reasons of operational security.
"Throughout Project Odyssey, SAS has provided extensive training and technical support as well as help in implementing its data mining software on servers at SHU's Sheffield headquarters," says SHU's Professor Simeon Yates.

Landlord Scott Robins said that both before and after Kane, he turned away easily a dozen restaurateurs interested in the space. He either didn't believe in the management, the chef or the concept. But with DeRosa and Reginbogin, he embraced their vision.
"I don't rent space to people I don't think are going to survive," Robins said. "These guys had the background and the Miami Beach experience. I felt Jamie's food was unique and different. I wanted to give them a chance because they have earned the opportunity. That is the kind of tenant I want, someone who is going to put their heart and soul into it."
Tongue & Cheek is about fulfilling a dream for DeRosa, 40, and Reginbogin, 34. The two have known each other through the industry over the years and worked together most recently at Tudor House in Miami Beach. But for both of them, running a restaurant didn't start out as an initial career choice.
DeRosa worked as a cook at Outback Steakhouse in high school and college just for extra cash, while majoring in criminal law at the University of Florida. After dropping out because he hated it, DeRosa found his calling in the late 1990s working at Chef Allen Susser's restaurant in Aventura while going to culinary school at Johnson & Wales. Over the years, his culinary career has taken a winding road from South Florida to California, England and China with high-profile positions at Chef Wolfgang Puck's empire in Florida and California and stints at Fat Duck in England, Campanile in Los Angeles and most recently Iron Chef Geoffrey Zakarian's Tudor House in South Beach.
Reginbogin studied political science at the University of Southern California, and his first job was working in mergers and acquisitions during the .com boom. But when the boom turned to bust, he ended up begging for a three-month internship at Houston's in Century City, Calif., as a waiter, where after proving himself he went on to cut his teeth in the chain's industry-leading management program. Over the years he has been a general manager or regional manager at high-profile restaurants in New York, Los Angeles and Miami including Tao, Blue Water Grill, Sugarcane Raw Bar and the South Beach opening of Estiatorio Milos.
"We've seen a lot of what works and what doesn't," Reginbogin said. "That should account for something, at least giving us a steady platform to build on."
Working together at Tudor House, a concept that lasted about a year in Miami Beach, further cemented the pair's desire to become restaurant owners rather than operators. At Tudor, they lived through the challenges of having to juggle the interests of too many different parties, including a hotel owner, management company and celebrity chef. Reginbogin left Tudor House to open Milos and DeRosa left after Zakarian announced he was pulling out of the partnership with the Dream Hotel.
"It reiterated the fact that if we're going to do all the work and put everything we have into a concept it should be our own," DeRosa said.
Their skills complement each other with DeRosa presiding over the kitchen and Reginbogin the operations of the dining room, as well as taking the lead on financial matters. But together they have made all the major decisions on everything from the branding to the design of the restaurant.
"You have to have the Yin and the Yang to make it work," DeRosa said. "It's the separation of church and state."
They have spent a lot of time focusing on the little details like the restaurant's five signature characters that appear everywhere from the coasters to T-shirts worn by the wait staff and doggy bags for the leftovers. There's the horse dressed in a business suit with designer glasses, who represents Reginbogin, and the ox with a top hat, who is DeRosa. There's also a cigarette-smoking bunny girl (DeRosa's wife), an owl with a top hat and a woman with a parasol who is also part octopus.
That humor also carries through to the apparel pins the servers will wear and that customers will be able to take home with them. They have catchy slogans like "Don't sweat the technique" and "B-O: Bourbon-omics. You never share Bourbon." Don't be surprised if you find hip hop slogans from Rapper's Delight or other popular songs hanging on the walls.
"Everything with Tongue & Cheek has to have a little fun with it," said Alex Martinez, creative director and principal with Deep Sleep Studio, which designed all of the restaurant's branding. "What I tried was to take 1920s and 1930s classic elegance and infuse it with some humor."
They wanted to bring the same edginess to the employees' uniforms with T-shirts, denim aprons and trucker-style caps designed by Flavour Gallery, a Los Angeles company best known for designing apparel for such premier events as the South Beach Wine & Food Festival and TV personality Andrew Zimmern.
The Tongue & Cheek apparel will be the first restaurant merchandise available for sale on Flavour Gallery's website.
"We wanted to create apparel that looked like something you would see off the rack and is on point with what's going on in contemporary fashion trends," said Alfredo Malatesta, owner of Flavour Gallery. "We think the designs are cool enough that our fan base will respond to them."
That kind of branding could only help build Tongue & Cheek's name recognition on a long-term basis.
But for the early stages of the opening, the focus is on building buzz through social media. Tongue & Cheek has its own Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts, plus the website at tandcmiami.com. DeRosa and Reginbogin are also active on social media. They hired a local social media consultant because they wanted to be sure to maximize their exposure and engagement with potential customers.
"Real time news is what everyone is looking for," DeRosa said. "If you do it properly and tease things it build excitement. If we can put out three, four or five posts a day we're building a relationship with people and they're getting excited about the product. It's another form of guerilla marketing without having to put people on the street corner with signs that say, 'Eat Here.' "
The big question is will social media, branding and traditional public relations bring people into the restaurant?
The goal is for Tongue & Cheek to generate $3 million to $3.5 million in revenue during its first year. Projections call for operating losses during the first three months but after six months to be generating a profit of 18 percent to 20 percent, a level they estimate they will need to be successful, Reginbogin said.
He's tried to be conservative in his projections and keep costs in line with industry norms. "I'm always a glass is half empty guy," Reginbogin said. "If the bar business happens, brunch gets hot or the late night takes off, it's all a bonus."
Industry experts contacted by The Herald agree that Tongue & Cheek's numbers are in the ballpark. A restaurant's prime costs — food, paper, beverages, labor and benefits — should be 60 percent or less of revenues with some variations depending on the concept, said Dean Haskell, an industry consultant with National Retail Concept Partners, whose career has included stints as both a restaurant operator and Wall Street analyst.
At $900,000 for start-up costs, Tongue & Cheek is keeping costs well below the average, considering new restaurants can run anywhere from $1.8 million to $5 million, Haskell said.
"You want to hit a 30 percent return on your investment; if you spend $900,000 you want to bring $300,000 to the bottom line," Haskell said. "The goal is to move toward that as quickly as possible because it shows that the concept is sustainable and replicable."
Any new restaurant should have enough cash on hand to pay rent and labor for three months.
"The number one problem with most restaurant start-ups is under capitalization," Haskell said. "If you're under capitalized you're going to start cutting costs here and there, and the customers are going to see it. That's counterproductive to what you're trying to do. It starts a downward cycle that's very hard to turn around."

How To Sell Using Both Chaos And Organization
This is a tale of two stores.
One store sells furniture and home decor items. The other sells books. One store is organized down to directing the flow of customer traffic. The other does the same, but through disorganized limitation. And each store does, indeed, sell. How can organization and disorganization work when it comes to sales?
They both function on a principle of discovery and permission, but do it very differently.
An Orderly Buying Experience
IKEA is a fun store to visit. Customers walk in, and the process begins — and it is a process. Everyone starts in the same place, and the layout of the store guides each person from one tastefully designed display after another. Customers can stop for lunch and take a break while staying within the system of the store. Each item is tagged and numbered for customers to write down and add to a cart later. IKEA sells using three key parts to their system:
- Management. IKEA presents their products in best possible way, giving the customer permission to let IKEA make the decisions and manage possibilities. They show an optimal setup in their showcase, but present it as merely a suggestion. The customer is free to decide as much or as little as they want on their own. They can be passive and accept what IKEA offers, or individualistic and creative and come up with their own ad hoc design.
- Efficient. The system of writing down the location and number of items to add to a cart at the end of the shopping excursion frees customers to pick up the smaller-ticket items as they walk through the store. Customers can avoid struggling with large boxes and fill their bag with smaller items (a win for IKEA) before the larger boxes are added at the end. While sometimes confusing (Aisle X, Row X, ID number), it is a system built on moving customers and products through the store efficiently.
- In Action. The showrooms present the products in action. Customers see what they want to buy in different settings. They can try them out first. If they stop for lunch, they will be sitting at tables on chairs that are what they've been seeing through the store. They can get a feel for what using the products will be like before buying them.
The IKEA method works for people who are highly organized, who carefully consider their purchases, and who want to see a product in an optimal setting to avoid the work of trying to envision it themselves. It is favored by those who like discernible structure with a clear start and finish. It works well for those who have a specific need in mind and want to find the solution.
A Chaotic Buying Experience
A local used bookstore in Mandan, North Dakota does something very different. When customers walk in, the entryway wall is covered in the signatures of other customers. There seems to be very little "white space" or places of visual rest in the store, with books stacked everywhere. Aisles are small and feel like paths through canyons; customers are directed through the store simply because there are limited areas to move. The bookstore uses three key ingredients when it comes to selling:
- Overlap. The store is divided into sections based on book categories, but the books overlap and bleed into each other. There is no clear division where one section ends and another begins. Customers find themselves being led from the store section by section without realizing it. They may have come for a cookbook, but they might find themselves in the history section without realizing it.
- Solidarity. Starting with an entryway with the signatures of other customers all the way to the core product — books already used by other people — makes this store as much about the community of reading as it is about books. Customers feel like they are part of a group, just by being there. They are part of something larger than themselves, something unique, just by walking in the door.
- Adventure. This bookstore is built on adventure. Customers don't usually go in expecting to find a specific book. It's meant to be a time of exploring, seeing what's there, digging in stacks and finding gems. Sales happen less on the books found and more on the adventure it takes to find them.
Through disorganization, customers aren't told what and how to buy. They are merely encouraged to come in and wander around. This method is favored by customers who aren't afraid of impulse buying, and who don't feel the need to plan out their purchases. For those who see buying as an activity and not a means to an end, it is the perfect commerce adventure.
The Similarities Between The Two
Despite the very evident differences, both stores have some basic similarities.
They are both built on a tangible system. IKEA's is more apparent, but the bookstore has one, too. Both stores allow customers to serve themselves, and decide and buy at their own pace. There are salespeople, but there isn't a constant pressure to decide on what to buy. Each store encourages a "wander and discover" sensibility.
And in that way, both stores have found the same key to successful sales that exists outside of the surface appearance of organization: the opportunity to buy.
No pressure. No constant up-sell. No "what can I help you find today?" to force a decision right when a customer walks in the door. No "buy now!"
Instead, a subtle system guides customers to a sale — if they want to do that — while leaving room for customers to enjoy themselves and not buy anything. The stores make suggestions for buying, and provide a way to do it if and when customers want to do that. The stores guide customers through their sales floor the way they want them to go, while letting customers retain a sense of autonomy.
When done correctly, customers will give us the permission to present to them what we want and how we want it, and they won't even hold it against us. In fact, they'll buy. And do it again and again.
How does your business, whether online or as a store, apply these principles?

Ex-Gwent police chief now Ambulance boss (From South Wales Argus)
Get involved: Send your photos, video, news & views by texting ARGUS NEWS to 80360 or email us
The former chief constable of Gwen Police Mick Giannasi is now chairman of the Welsh Ambulance Service
2:01pm Saturday 17th August 2013 in News
THE former chief constable of Gwent police has been appointed interim chairman of the Welsh Ambulance Service.
Mick Giannasi has been appointed to the role until March 31 next year and replaces Stuart Fletcher who will stand down on August 31.
Mr Giannasi retired from the police service in April 2011 after a distinguished career spanning 31 years.
During that time, he served in three police forces and ultimately attained the rank of chief constable at Gwent and was awarded the Queen's police medal for his contribution to policing in the 2011 birthday honours.
Mr Giannasi began his police career in Staffordshire in 1980 where he served in a variety of uniformed and specialist roles up to and including the rank of chief superintendent.
In 2002, he was appointed assistant chief constable in Merseyside where he was responsible for specialist operations and gained significant experience in dealing with gang related violence, drug trafficking, gun crime and counter terrorist operations.
He transferred to Gwent Police in 2005 as deputy chief constable and was appointed chief constable in 2008.
As the chief constable of Gwent, Mr. Giannasi was responsible for control of the force, and accountable for a budget of £122m and a workforce of more than 2,500 people.
Following his retirement from the police service, he was appointed by the Welsh Government to act as a commissioner for the Isle of Anglesey council. He carried out this role until May 2013, when the Government's intervention in the council's affairs was brought to a successful conclusion.
Health minister, Mark Drakeford said: ""I am extremely grateful to Stuart for his dedication and commitment to the NHS in Wales and would like to wish him all the best for his retirement.
"Mick's experience will help us to lead the organisation through a period of very significant change, including full implementation of the output of the McClelland review".
Mr Giannasi has been appointed until 31 March 2014 and will receive a pay of £59,760 per annum for a time commitment of 15 days a month.

Got to love these senior police officers, who go from job to job without ever having actually proven they were any good at what they did when they were in the police. "It's a copper's job....." as they used to say.
Well, we'll see how he does, won't we? I've my own suspicions as to why he's been brought in and probably 'ability' isn't the main reason!

hmv rip off.
whats going on with hmv online i was browsing for 2 blu ray music discs simply red live at montreux 2003
and sade bring me home live 2011, the sade disc is £20 to buy and simply red £23 a total rip off
i bought the sade disc for £13.99 and simply red £13,99 both brilliant sounding discs imo,
the price of some blu ray discs on hmv online site is really silly, and its no wonder they are in
such financial difficult position, so are blu ray discs to dear to buy your opinions welcome.
There pricing is pretty weird.
I had £100 in vouchers at Xmas. I still have some left. I only use them if HMV are competitive, which is rarely.
I've had my moans about HMV, both online and instore in the past, but in their defence, they will be cheap, if not the cheapest on some titles, just depends what you're after.
The titles that you were after are probably not big sellers, and from experience, it's usually quite hard to find deals on these kinds of titles.
I use http://www.find-dvd.co.uk/ to compare prices, though there are many more price comparison sites.
I had £100 in vouchers at Xmas. I still have some left. I only use them if HMV are competitive, which is rarely.
I had trouble in the past trying to find something reasonably priced to spend the vouchers on instore, and contacted HMV head office. They did say that they were looking in to ways of being able to use the instore vouchers online, as they are two seperate businesses, not sure if this is possble yet though.

Kevin, Hey. Thanks for again speaking up. From my up close and personal perspective, 90% of the IDEO is 100% Marmaduke with Marmaduke openly crediting his colleagues and predecessors for their contributions. The CFI should be commended for answering Marmaduke's challenge and expending some of their significant resources for the limb salvaged wounded warrior requiring orthotic care. They should also be commended for their "return to running program" (developed after Marmaduke showed them it could be done). However, the CFI also needs to be questioned about the pursuit of a patent. What's up with that? Kevin, thanks for your service to our country. Doug Van Atta, CPO -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Matthews <[E-mail Address Removed]> To: OANDP-L <[E-mail Address Removed]> Sent: Thu, Sep 8, 2011 8:14 pm Subject: [OANDP-L] Politics Hello all, Following is a quote from a local San Antonio newspaper. It includes a link to the article. The advancement they are discussing is an awesome design that I will also soon be making in my practice. I have been involved since the beginning in an odd way. This all started with an active duty patient of mine several years ago. Long story short, I got my friend and sometimes mentor, Marmaduke Loke, involved with the military. He started in Hawaii and when word got out about the results he was getting he was invited to Brooke Army Medical Center, Home of the "Center For the Intrepid, CFI. He dazzled them with his brilliance and soon he was making many lucky soldiers his 'DBS AFO", in my opinion the most amazing orthosis on the planet. After treating more than thirty soldiers issues arose, no comment, and the realionship was severed. The CFI soon developed their IDEO, Intrepid Dynamic Exoskeletal Orthosis (Is there such a thing as an endoskeletal orthosis?). I recently held a golf tournament locally and many soldiers were sponsored. Several were wearing this design. I sent an email to Ryan Blanck, the inventor, asking where he got the struts he used in his design. He told me he couldn't tell me because they were in the process of patenting the design. I have since found the source and will be playing with the material. I have grand ideas. My question is this. It has always been my understanding (11 1/2 years active service) the government cannot patent anything. Can they profit off the taxpayer with an invention derived from taxpayer dollars? I would like to know because I'm gonna start making them and don't want to be sued by Uncle Sam. Thoughts? The link to Sundays article follows, with a quote from a primary contributer. They sure are taking a lot of credit for Marmaduke's idea. "The IDEO could be the most significant orthopedic advancement to come out of the war on terror," said Dr. Michael Bosse, co-principal investigator with the Major Extremity Trauma Research Consortium, which oversees research on orthopedic trauma treatments. "It may be a game changer in the way we treat and view lower-extremity injuries."
