Title: Above the Sun
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
John Scott Evans is acknowledged by many to be one of the finest fingerstyle guitarists in the country and is quickly becoming recognized as one of the rising stars of the guitar community. His artistry blends fingerstyle technique with a multitude of musical ingredients ranging from melodic pop to fiery flamenco and from lite jazz to heart warming gospel. John\'s unique touch on his instrument brings new life to the music world. His musical compositions speak to the heart and inspire the soul. John\'s guitar performances have shared the bill with an array of notable artists around the globe, including the legendary Chet Atkins. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, John was first introduced to the guitar at the age of 10 by his father, the late E.A. Evans, also an accomplished guitarist. John's studies continued as he later attended a variety of music schools including the prestigious Berklee College of Music. During this time, John performed throughout the southeast with his band, the John Scott Evans Band, that consisted of a stellar cast of worldclass musicians including Kansas violinist David Ragsdale. Since then, John has traveled throughout the world as a solo recording artist & guitar clinician. He has also worked as a sideman for a long list of internationally known artists including Billy Ray Cyrus, Mark Shultz, Corrinne May & Allen Levi.

Among John's TV credits include performances on major and local networks along with million viewer live TV broadcasts (CBS & Others) and live DVD projects . As a solo recording artist, John Scott Evans has released three timeless instrumental CD's. Their success has been noted across the Globe from the U.S. to Japan. John\'s third and latest album release, \'Above The Sun\', is a groundbreaking collection of original fingerstyle instrumentals and cover arrangements of Stevie Wonder's "Overjoyed" and Christopher Cross' "Sailing". The album was co-produced by Nashville producer/Grammy nominee, Brian Green and Mastered by Grammy Award winning engineer Robert Hadley at The Mastering Lab in Hollywood,CA. Other JSE Albums include: \'Live At The Loft\', a live recorded performance featuring A-list musicians including Kansas violinist David Ragsdale. \'Amazed by Grace\', a solo guitar album featuring a collection of favorite hymns and originals that are inspirational and soothing to the soul. John is also the founder and visionary of the music educational program \'Music Around the World\' and author of the \'Guitar Basics\' instructional series.

M.I.A. Incites Violence Against Redheads
M.I.A.'s new video for the single 'Born Free' hit the internet Monday, and immediately created controversy. It was reportedly banned on YouTube because of graphic content, though in truth the site removed links at the insistence of record label XL Recordings over copyright claims. More importantly, it's freaking me out.
For obvious reasons, the genocide of gingers in tracksuits is an incredibly personal issue to yours truly. Please watch the video and become appropriately outraged.

Y'all I made a video of this green smoothie I've been eating almost every single day for weeks. (Jump to the smoothie recipe!) Why would I do such a thing? Stomach issuez. Which I shall explain.
But before I get into that, a testimonial for this smoothie. My friend (who isn't a smoothie person) called this the best smoothie she has EVER had! Bam.
Also, video is new for me! ^ I took a mobile filmmaking class, and it got me off to a good start, but as you can see, I'm still working on lighting, and finding more fitting background music. LOL.
Okay truth time. Over two years ago now, I went vegan largely for my health.
Basically what happened is that in 2014, my wonderful cousin was visiting me in Texas from the U.K.. She had just become vegan, and I was worried about keeping her fed in Waco, where the dining choices are: cheeseburgers, barbecue, or Tex-Mex. To make it easier, I decided to cook for her the whole time, and just eat vegan food myself.
Fast-forward to 2 weeks into her stay, when my chronic hay fever was clearing up, along with my digestion issues. I went from taking 4–5 types of allergy and migraine medicines per day to just 1, if any. And, well, my stomach felt a lot better. 🙂
So it's been SUPER frustrating that my quick fix isn't working anymore. For the past year, I've been having loads of stomach issues, and here in NYC they've gotten unignorable.
I think this has to do with stress (more on THAT at a later date), but it's also the fact that I've been loading up my body with starches and cruciferous vegetables for two years, and basically putting it through an Iron Man of digestion.
To give you the version I won't be embarrassed for my boss to read: basically every time I eat, my stomach has these terrible pains that last for hours, and it feels super inflamed and painful.
And I really want to solve this without eating animals again. (That's the second part of the vegan story—after changing my diet, I realized that eating animal products made me part of a huge system of human and animal suffering and environmental damage that I don't want to contribute to if I can avoid it.)
So I've been reading lots of books about gut health, and yes, I'm going to the doctor soon, I promise. Really.
One book in particular from almost two decades ago has been really helpful—it's called The Gut Reaction. It's a little bit woo woo but also seems to be working? The book's all about how so many of our general health problems stem from "le gut" and how so many of our gut problems stem from having the pH balance in your system off, most people being way too acidic.
The long and the short of it is that in order to become "more alkaline," I've been doing all these things:
- Eating lots of probiotics (mostly sauerkraut, coconut yogurt, and kombucha)
- Avoiding sugar (I know, it's torture)
- Avoiding grains, including wheat (same)
- Chewing a whole lot, lol
- Eating more frequent smaller meals
- Eating more soups and smoothies (things that are already liquid are easier to digest…sorry that's super gross)
- Sitting for a while after I eat rather than stuffing a pizza in my face while running to my next thing
And when I stick to it, and don't eat cookie dough for breakfast (what? it's vegan) and vegan nachos for dinner, I feel a lot better.
And this smoothie is part of the new health regimen. Puréed is the only way I'm eating kale these days, and I still want those vitamins. Plus the aloe juice is so soothing. I can't explain it, but it's like when I take a sip, my stomach feels the way your sunburned skin feels when you rub aloe vera onto it. Plus the chia seeds are important for getting protein and staying full. And the lime, mint, coconut, and pineapple are just delicious. 🙂
PS – Please help me if you have tips for finding better music for my videos! I want to keep going with these and finding music that isn't $20 per song or SUPER cheesy is my biggest blocker!
Here's the recipe:
- 2 handfuls kale
- 4–5 mint leaves (or 1 sprig)
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
- Juice from ¼ of a lime
- ¾ cup coconut water (unsweetened)
- 2–4 Tablespoons aloe (start with 2 Tablespoons if you're a beginner)
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- In a blender, combine kale, mint, chia seeds, lime juice, aloe, and coconut water. Blend until the kale is puréed and you can't see any whole chia seeds.
- Add the pineapple chunks and purée until smooth.
- Serve immediately!
The Waco Vegan is no longer updated. You can find me over at RandleBrowning.com instead.

Publication Date :- August, 2014
Although proliferation of mobile services in emerging economies like India has made it possible to provide a variety of services such as banking, health, education etc., to low income segments (LIS) through mobiles, it is challenging to do so. This is owing to a variety of factors, including, low levels of digital infrastructure and literacy and poor propensity to pay. On the other hand, given the poor state of basic services delivery, these networks offer a mechanism to improve this state. Therefore start-ups that develop contextual business model innovations (BMI) are important. Notwithstanding its importance, there is very little work on what factors contribute to BMI for LIS in emerging economies in this area.
This paper contributes to both empirical and theoretical knowledge by developing case studies on business model innovations using ICT based services in India. It identifies the dimensions of differences between developed countries and emerging economies with respect to i) the factors that contribute to ICT based business model innovations for LIS and ii) the role of the start-ups in this situation.
Further, it integrates two existing strands of theory: value creation through BMI in e-business and low income segments in emerging economies by developing a conceptual model. It posits that the start-ups act as boundary spanners between the institutional and infrastructure environment on one hand and the business model innovation embedded in the ICT based service delivery model on the other.

Latest Economic News
The latest news that the UK economy grew at 0.4 per cent from July to September has led to a mixed reception from economists. Whilst the growth is up from 0.3 per cent in the previous quarter and slightly higher than predicted, the economy is still growing at a slower pace than it was last year. According to the Office of National Statistics, year-on-year growth is at 1.5 per cent. If this trend continues to the end of 2018, it would be the slowest annual expansion of the economy for 5 years.
The 2 sectors boosting the figure are Services (which makes up around 80% of the UK economy) and Manufacturing. However, the construction sector fell into recession after shrinking for the second quarter in succession. The current deadlock in the Brexit talks also continues to make businesses cautious about the future and the economy is running slower than it was prior to the EU referendum last year. In addition, the better than expected growth increases the prospect of interest rates rises for the first time since 2007.
Whilst this growth is an unexpected positive, there is no doubt that the next set of figures will be eagerly anticipated for a number of reasons!

I am very much a Summer baby but I am enjoying the fact that it has started to cool down so I can start doing my low and slow dishes! Last time I tried doing a ragu it unfortunately didn't turn out very well so I was put off a while… (a year or so) but I appeared to have redeemed myself with this one because the meat was succulent, pulled straight off the bone and the sauce was rich as.
I find that with a lot of good tomato based sauces you have a few staple ingredients and it's just about alternating the ratios to switch over the dominant flavour. This time, I really wanted the tomato flavours to sing through and so you will see based on the measurements below that that is the result you will yield if you follow my recipe.
I chose to serve this dish with pasta but you could easily serve it with mash, roasted veggies or even on a burger.
Lamb ragu with fettucine (serves 6-8)
What you're going to need
Roasting the lamb
2kg lamb shoulder (bone in)
2 cloves garlic, roughly sliced
5 sprigs rosemary
5 sprigs thyme
1 brown onion, roughly chopped
1 cup chicken stock*
1/2 cup red wine
cracked salt and pepper to season
olive oil
The sauce
2 rashers of middle bacon with fat on, sliced into small pieces
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 carrot, finely grated
500ml Passata
1/2 cup red wine
1 cup chicken stock*
handful fresh basil, roughly chopped
cracked salt and pepper to season
olive oil for frying
For serving
500g fettucine, cooked per packet instructions (I used Barilla's Collezione range for this recipe found here)
*I used chicken stock in this instance as it was all we had at home at the time. If you have a preference to beef, lamb or vegetable stock feel free to switch it out.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius. In a large baking tray that can hold liquid, place the lamb shoulder inside, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper and the herbs. Place the stock and wine in the tray around the meat. Throw the garlic and onion into the liquid. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes until the outside has browned.
- After 45 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and cover with foil (caution, tray will be very hot!). Return the tray into the oven and reduce the temperature to 120-130 degrees Celcius and cook for at least 5 hours. (if you have time to cook it longer, do so!)
- Once the meat has cooked in the oven for at least 5 hours, remove the tray from the oven and transfer the meat to a clean chopping board so you can begin shredding. Using two forks, begin to shred the meat (removing any excess fat) until you have collected as much of the tender meat as you can. Set aside.
- In a large fry pan or casserole dish, heat up some olive oil on a medium heat. Add in the bacon, garlic and carrot and fry off until fragrant and bacon has changed colour. Add the passata and shredded meat and stir well.
- Once the passata and shredded meat are bubbling, reduce the heat and add the wine and stock. Mix until well combined and leave on a low simmer for at least 30 minutes. (The ragu will be quite thick already so this is more about building extra flavour into the meat)
- With 5-6 minutes to go, cook the fettucine and add in the fresh basil into the ragu. Serve immediately to ensure best results.

If your tenant is responsible for paying council tax on your property, it's important that they register their new residential details with the local authority for taxation purposes.
Ultimately, it is the tenants responsibility to do so. However, "tenants fresh out of the box" may not be aware of this process. It's always best to remind your tenant of his or her responsibilities.
I got a letter from my local council, which had attached a big fat Council Tax bill addressing a property I let. My tenant evidently forgot to register. I take blame though, because I should have reminded my tenant. That's the penalty if your tenant fails to register (or if you fail to remind your tenant)- you'll end up with the council tax bill. It's not really a huge deal, but it's just unnecessary hassle. Some Landlords may not realise what's going on. Also, some Landlords may not even realise that their tenant is responsible for the Council tax Bill (check the contract), consequently will pay the bill just to avoid hassle.
To resolve the issue, I called my local council and explained the situation, and they basically confirmed what i already knew- my tenant hadn't registered with the local authority.
The council will now send my tenant a form which she needs to complete, and after having done so, she will receive the council tax bill.
Additionally, regardless of whether your tenant is responsible for the council tax bill or not, they need to get on the electoral role with their new residential details. The electoral enrolment is for voting purposes.
For further information, it's probably best to contact your local authority directly.

(AFP) - Malaysian badminton king Lee Chong Wei brushed off challenges from fast-rising Chinese rival Shi Yuqi on Friday at the Yonex Open Japan, advancing to the semi-finals as he seeks to regain the title.
Lee, silver medallist in the last three Olympics, took just 40 minutes to secure a comfortable 21-12, 21-12 victory in the men's singles.
The 33-year-old world No. 1 will now face 15th-ranked Marc Zwiebler of Germany in the semi-final as he campaigns to reclaim the Japanese trophy that he lifted in 2014, 2013, 2012, 2010, and 2007.
Lee gave a stunning performance after recently hinting at possibly extending his career to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics for another shot at an elusive badminton gold, despite earlier indicating the Rio Games would be his last.
Meanwhile, sixth-seed Son Wan Ho of South Korea clinched a 21-18, 21-13 win to stop second seed Viktor Axelsen of Denmark, the Rio bronze medallist who staged a dramatic upset against double Olympic champion Lin Dan.
Son will face third seed Jan O Jorgensen also of Denmark, who knocked out Khosit Phetpradab 21-6, 21-16.
In women's singles, home fans hailed the victory of 12th-ranked Akane Yamaguchi against compatriot and Rio bronze medallist Nozomi Okuhara, who was out to defend the title.
The 21-11, 23-21 win was 19-year-old Yamaguchi's first triumph against her 21-year-old rival in their seventh international face-off.
Yamaguchi was the first Japanese to win the Yonex Open Japan in 2013 at age 16.
In men's doubles, Indonesian pair Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan, winners in 2013, beat Huang Kaixiang and Wang Yilyu of China 21-18, 21-15.
In women's doubles, Rio gold-winning Japanese pair Misaki Matsumoto and Ayaka Takahashi overwhelmed Thai duo Jongkolphan Kititharakul and Rawinda Prajongjai in a quick 35-minute, 21-11, 21-8 win.
Denmark's Christinna Pedersen and Kamilla Rytter Juhl, silver medallists in Rio, squeezed by Malaysians Vivian Kah Mun Hoo and Khe Wei Woon with a 20-22, 23-21, 21-14 victory.

P and I agreed to exchange gifts on the wedding night. The agreement was that the present would be [a] Inexpensive, and [b] More Sentimental Than Practical. So after all the festivities, I gave him a pocket knife with a whole "through it all, no matter what, I'll be there for you" spiel... Cheesy but I honestly couldn't actually think of anything better. (And true, I broke Rule B since a pocket knife is actually very practical.)
P whips out a photo album, with a picture that we'd taken together on the cover, and our favorite engagement picture on the inside cover, along with a beautiful note written inside about how we would fill the album with memories, etc. etc... All beautiful and romantic, and I absolutely loved it...
And then he jumps up and says "But to make the most of this, you'll probably like this too..." reaches into another bag and hands me a brand new Canon 30D, digital SLR camera, at which point I start blubbering...
So yes. We are now the proud owners of a great new D-SLR, even though P broke the rule and made my present look hideously inadequate!! *sigh*
Anyway... here are a few snapshots from New Zealand, taken on our lovely new baby.

Fed Black Ops and TAO stop me from submitting FOIA Military on two websites.
TAO (Tailored Access Operations) has officially been renamed TAO Terrorist Access Operations because they terrorize and make miserable the good decent people in America like me.
From what I can piece together I get the TAO regional call center in San Antonio (was FBI gangstalking harassment call center) and whenever I make a phone call to TWC Aetna, HC.gov, BofA, Fidelity, TXU (any utility), State Farm, my doctors (I am a medical experiment and my doctor dentist neck surgeon visits are televised on CCTV and I get a lot of street theater because of it). TAO is on my radar and they are going to prison. Period. Dot. The End.
TAO also makes weapons used against me that I will not disclose in a separate facility in San Antonio.
Anyway, TAO hacker/computer guys stop me from submitting two different FOIAs on these two sites and I filed a tips.fbi.gov (sounds stupid but it is a big statement). Progenitors will be making bigger statements.
It will not let me upload all the screenshots I have (all are under 100k and are jpgs). Two socom.mil foia error messages below. wont let me upload national archives screen error at end after I put in all the information (classic TAO). I get the same types of error messages when I try to put in a credit freeze with any of the three agencies because it will enable TAO and Fed Black Ops to steal my money faster. I go to Bank of America branches and try to file my 9 page Fraud by Fed Black Ops writeups and no one will take them because when we call 'Fraud' internally we get TAO and the phony BofA employees there are ALWAYS reptilian hybrids... shit it looks like the Star Wars cantina (bar) scene when Luke Skywalker walks in to me... not that I can kinda 'see' again.
All of TAO is going to prison and when we are at our lowest everyone will understand why. Fed Black Ops knew back in 2012 after the alliance hacked the cabal darknet and the opm they are cooked and done and they know it. TAO was not even on my radar until they turned it all up recently. Maybe... just maybe... I have been surrounded by holographs my entire life and all the horrific things done to me (and our country / world) have come from holographs. Just maybe. Progenitors get things done the way they want.
When I try to upload a couple of my super soldier photos from the infamous 1992 Somalia Beach Landing CNN covered where I yell, 'GET THAT LIGHT OUT OF MY FACE' they magically disappear because the within a few years to be imprisoned TAO lizards will not allow me to post any super soldier photos. I am going to put TAO on a gerbil and hamster only diet (even though the food replicators will be everywhere) and they will be so happy come feeding time. Might change them over to snakes as an experiment to see if they will eat their own type. Oh... NO human babies or any blood for you to keep up you holographs. You will just have to rot in prison after we defeat you. You have to be soulless and satanically evil to torture me all these years... because anyone with a soul would see I am the good guy real quick and feel bad about it. At BofA when you lean into me and your eyes glaze over and you enter into that orgasmic feeding of loosh off of me... well.. it is all on CCTV and everyone can see you as the baby eating shit that you are. I can see it. And you know it.
If (or when) we are at our lowest point I will have many important things to do. So to speed up the system I will make myself judge, jury and prosecutor. I will have your internal records to go over and will deal with you appropriately. And whatever I do it will be 1% of what the Reptilians would have done to you if... Luke didnt show up.
They dont use human or ETs or aliens for fighter pilots out in space especially for long range across the galaxy flights. All computers. Everything is too fast even for the ETs to react so computers are used (from what I have been told).
After the 1996 Archon invastion of the Congo I had Fed Black Ops walk up to me and say (exactly), 'Dont worry, we would have been eaten, too'. From what I remember, they had big smiles. Happened in 96 97 98 2012 and 2013 and probably many more years.
7:58 am
February 2, 2016
I forgot to mention... I went to tips.fbi.gov and filed a criminal activity tip with the feds.
When you stop laughing and come back into reality you will 'see' that things have changed a bunch and me filing criminal tips with the feds for fed activity...
something has changed. the worm has turned. It turned a long time ago. you holographs at tao are too f'ed up on meth and ice and your intense hatred of me to notice.
oh yeah... no human kids for you to rape in my prisons. and no meth or any other drugs. yeah.. I know you think you are the holographs with all the connections (and right now you are) but all that black ops money is going away. drugs are being cut off. and maybe on the outside you could score 'some'... not like you do now. you wont be on the outside. you will be incarcerated at a correctional facility where you will receive intensive behavioral therapy (that I will supervise closely and with love) hope to change your holographs from meth/ice addicted degenerates who eat and rape human babies into something that can be allowed among the human population again. I doubt it will work. But 'rehabilitating' your behaviors will never get old and will always bring a smile to my face. Like it does now.
Why do you continue to screw with a possible Progenitor? If I bust off that holograph you wear everyone will know why.

Clarification needed. I have no problems working with human holographs of satanic, reptilian hybrids. Check my Fed Black Ops profile. Or all the CCTV footage. My entire life has been broadcast and if I was a criminal I would be in prison (and even if I was not a criminal I could be in prison). I 'see' that I have a large and committed fan base out there.
Hive minded, satanic, reptilian hybrids all have a really big problem working with me even though they have had unlimited powers (black magick, military, courts, law enforcement, elected officials, FBI Q under DC, TAO in San Antonio, DHS drones and chinooks, Reptilians... it goes on) and black ops money (CCTV mega off the books cash, drug and whatever else money) to destroy or murder me and they can't. Why is that? You know the answer better than I do.
I also understand that hive minded, human holographs literally OWN all positions of power in government (all levels), religion, law enforcement (all levels), media (literally everyone you see on tv or movies is a holograph. I have yet to see a human like me). military (higher you go, more holographs) and business (look through corporate officer photos online... even after retouching and taking the best shot available most of them do not even look human... buy you know this... I am preaching to the choir).
Human holographs are the reason we are about to go through what we will go through... the Reptiles who run the world are trying to jackhammer hell on earth into us. Even the most rabid, insanely meth'd up lizard out there knows and understands all of this and might or might not admit it.
Anyway, I can work with human holographs and have no problems as long as they stop fucking me over again and again and again... Reread this paragraph.
I had been up all night before I typed the comments above and I reread it. is 4am here.
I believe what I typed above is moderately restrained for someone who:
1 has been abducted 39 times (once for 3 years and I do not know which 3) by military and Reptilians (both on world and off world) for 'medical experimentation' which is also known as torture.
2. discovered back in spring 2015 I was in Project Mannequin and Nov 2015 Super Soldier
3. awoke in Sept 2014 when the earth's rotation (or whatever) changed 3 degrees
4. is absolutely the most alone human on the planet. Literally no one can or will help me. And when I email anyone who can help me they get a NSL (National Security Letter) they are not allowed to read and do not get a copy of to prove what it says. If I am allowed to speak to someone there are boundaries (from what I can see. Have only spoken to one person). The ultimate evil in our galaxy must see my good as a tremendous threat. Fed Black Op and TAO will not even let me try to get my military records online. I believe they want me to mail or fax so they can sabotage everything off the books (without electronic trail of online). I will not allow this and Fed Black Ops and TAO will allow me to get my military records online.
5. There is no law enforcement to go to. If I call 911 I get the TAO call center in San Antonio and if I ever get to see law enforcement they will be Federal Black Ops cut outs in local LEO uniforms because they will be on CCTV so they have to get their street theater together. Of course, local, state, Federal LEOs are Masonic (I just discovered within the last year... it is ok to laugh. That is how powerful the Reptilian attacks are (NSA psychotronics are from Reptilians). I had no idea why Masons (which include the KKK) wanted to torture or murder me dead (like all the other groups out there Unions, certain Churches, Big Corporations, Defense Contractors, Fed govt institutions, certain Military groups). I had no F'in idea why all these groups that should really like me wanted me tortured and dead. Wasnt until spring 2015 that I finally accepted that ALL INSTITUTIONS that we know of have been horrifically Satanized (or Reptilianized... same thing).
Stop and think for minute... I am not a criminal in any way. Why would any level of law enforcement hate me. I have an accounting degree and understood business... why would any corporation do all those bad things to me? I always supported the military... why would defense contractors have it out for me?
And if I was the Last Starfighter or Luke... why would all of this be done to me? If doesnt make sense to someone who has been denied info, memory wiped too many times, caged and tortured for 40+ years and has no memories.
The worm has turned.
One more thing... I realize that posting here is a waste of time. It will be like AR15.com on Texas forum where literally ALL OF THE OTHER POSTERS WERE FEDERAL AGENTS, CONTRACTORS AND INFORMANTS and nothing else. After I shot the trophy boar in March 2010 there was a tidal wave of supporters who went to ar15.com to see the photos and arfcomm had real server/bandwith issues. They had to limit Texas forums to just users who had userids from Texas ip addresses.
Also, I do not see the actual internet. And my cell and internet connections used to go through a military server at then EDS (now HP) who took a look at that server and hit the eject button on it for it to land at then McAfee security (now Intel Security) just down the street on Preston Rd and whatever that street name is. HP and Intel Security are literally within a mile or two from each other and probably under 7 miles from me when I am up there.

NBC 1992 Super Soldier video youtube feature=youtu.be
I tried to post a super soldier Somalia photo again. Was landing with Navy Seals and Force Recon. To all the passive/aggressive Federal Black Ops TAO bitches... I did not say I was in the military or in Seals/Marines. I said landing with Seals/Marines. You little clit sized penis bitches will be imprisoned due to stopping me from getting to file online foia's and will be dealt with in a legal manner. Smoke that ice/meth while you can to forget what is coming. No matter how much you smoke, TAO is still going to prison and the people could possibly be running you down in the streets to turn you in. Possible? or Probable? Time will tell if I am right.
Who put you on my radar and why? If you had stayed off the Progenitor radar you could have slithered off to the bushes at the truck stop where you would go back to your previous job of selling $5 blowjobs to big fat truckers. 5 military bases in San Antonio can do the take downs. I hope to supervise or be there. I am smiling big.
I have been told that when Progenitors repeat everything over and over again the probabilities of what they say goes way up. I repeat all of this so much that we have to be in the mid to high 90 percentile.

Golden Rule Life Statement Read to Walter George
I am documenting what was repeatedly read to me over the years.
Over the past few years these 3 groups of people
-Federal agents / contractors / informants who were gang stalking me
- Friends / handlers / private gun range members
- Honeypot dates paid for by the FBI sent to me
have repeatedly read (at least 30 times) Preston James' Golden Rule statement from http://www.veteranstoday.com below:
The Ruling cabal's greatest secret is that they are unable to infect and control those Americans who refuse to violate the Golden Rule (except in self-defense) know and keep a strong commitment to the US Constitution and Bill of Rghts and refuse to be compromised or accept the lies and evil of the Ruling Cabal or its representatives or agents. These researchers believe that individuals cannot become infected with this Cosmic Parasite or demon unless they have been somehow compromised to believe that it is okay to violate the Golden rule.
Those born with a lack of conscience, extreme narcissists or psychopaths can obviously become infected quite easily if this is true. So as this narrative goes, the Cabal recruits by searching for those that are easily compromisable. If someone has strong character, deep integrity and refuses to harm others unless in self-defense, the cabal is not interested in these folks. Cabal wannabees must be comfortable pedophiling and sacrificing young innocent children and creating mass-murder and mass suffering through the pre-arrangement and provocation or wars and mass death and destruction.
When this was read to me I had no idea what a cabal or elite or anything like that was and I just didn't care. FBI 'black ops' told all these people to read this for a reason that I can only speculate about. I did not stumble across this article until Dec 2014.
Honeypot dates (paid for by FBI and were Monarch betas) would read this long statement to me from their cell phone and go, 'Awwwwwww. You live by the Golden Rule and dont do any of this stuff'. In other words, I am a solid, good guy and they know it.
What were the possible reasons this statement was read to me over and over again?

TAO is going to prison forever. I want TAO lizards to live as long as those holographs can because I dont want those satanically rotten Reptilian spirits to reincarnate. I promise they will receive excellent health care.

Plastic Apocalypse is set in the world where only these factions of army men remain (and mysteriously able to shoot each other up). Those little men that we used to play with now declare an endless war with each other. For now, the main focus of the conflict is between the Greentorians and the Tanolians.
Do you have any animations made?

About five minutes after the RV-6 departed from the airport in Sauk Rapids, Minn., an air traffic controller notified the pilot that an Airbus was 30 miles southwest of the airport and inbound.
About seven minutes later, the pilot reported that he had the Airbus in sight and then stated that he was going to take a picture of it.
No further communications were received from the pilot.
A witness reported observing the RV-6 "rocking back and forth" before the "nose went down" and then seeing two objects come off the airplane when it entered a descent.
Another witness reported hearing engine noise before observing the airplane enter a steep nose-down descent. The airplane hit a house and was destroyed by a post-impact fire. Both people aboard the plane were killed.
The two objects that the witness observed coming off the RV-6, which were a headset and PVC material, were later located near the accident site and did not exhibit thermal damage or soot.
The exit of the two objects from the airplane's interior indicates that the canopy likely opened in flight, which led to the loss of pitch control.
Fire damage precluded examination of the airplane's canopy and systems, so the reason for the canopy opening in flight could not be determined.
There was no radar or recorded position and time data for either airplane so the effects, if any, of wake turbulence from the Airbus on the RV-6 could not be determined.
The NTSB determined the probable cause as the pilot's loss of pitch control due to the in-flight opening of the canopy during cruise flight for reasons that could not be determined because fire damage precluded examination of the airplane's canopy and systems.
NTSB Identification: CEN14FA306

Uncertain financing for parts of the budget will ultimately add to the deficit.
In the budget, Obama provides financing for the so-called "doc" fix, a part of the red ink in Medicare finances.
For years, the government has assumed in every budget that it will reduce Medicaid payments to doctors by 1 percent to 2 percent – but it never does. By last year, there was a 21 percent gap between what Congress assumed it would pay and what it did pay, says Pete Davis of Davis Capital Investment Ideas, in Washington.
In the budget, Obama funds that gap – for two years. By 2014, it reappears as a $24 billion hole in the budget. By the following year, it's up to $32 billion.
"I think they are just assuming that the way to pay for it will emerge," says Mr. Davis.
That's also true for two other major programs: the annual effort to keep middle class individuals from having to pay the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) and the Highway Trust Fund.
The budget funds the AMT patch for three years, but only two years for the highway spending, says Davis.

Based on a marginal value approach, we derive a nonlinear expression for evolutionarily stable (ES) dispersal rates in a metapopulation with global dispersal. For the general case of density-dependent population growth, our analysis shows that individual dispersal rates should decrease with patch capacity and-beyond a certain threshold-increase with population density. We performed a number of spatially explicit, individual-based simulation experiments to test these predictions and to explore further the relevance of variation in the rate of population increase, density dependence, environmental fluctuations and dispersal mortality on the evolution of dispersal rates. They confirm the predictions of our analytical approach. In addition, they show that dispersal rates in metapopulations mostly depend on dispersal mortality and inter-patch variation in population density. The latter is dominantly driven by environmental fluctuations and the rate of population increase. These conclusions are not altered by the introduction of neighbourhood dispersal. With patch capacities in the order of 100 individuals, kin competition seems to be of negligible importance for ES dispersal rates except when overall dispersal rates are low.
We present the results of individual-based simulation experiments on the evolution of dispersal rates of organisms living in metapopulations. We find conflicting results regarding the relationship between local extinction rate and evolutionarily stable (ES) dispersal rate depending on which principal mechanism causes extinction: if extinction is caused by environmental catastrophes eradicating local populations, we observe a positive correlation between extinction and ES dispersal rate; if extinction is a consequence of stochastic local dynamics and environmental fluctuations, the correlation becomes ambiguous; and in cases where extinction is caused by dispersal mortality, a negative correlation between local extinction rate and ES dispersal rate emerges. We conclude that extinction rate, which both affects and is affected by dispersal rates, is not an ideal predictor for optimal dispersal rates.
The exploitation of landscapes increases fragmentation of valuable areas with high biodiversity. Consequently, many populations nowadays exist as metapopulations. In such cases, the balance between extinction and colonisation of patches determines the regional survival of species. To determine long term survival of species and to assess the impact of different management regimes proper knowledge of species habitat requirements as well as information on their dispersal behaviour is needed. The aim of this thesis was to develop methods and measures for the identification of suitable areas for grasshoppers and bush crickets, as well as to quantify the reachability of single patches by individuals. The first part of my work focuses on the quantification of habitat suitability for grasshoppers and bush crickets. Based on presence/absence data, I developed statistical habitat suitability models using logistic regression analyses. The resulting models are evaluated and validated in space and time. It turned out that habitat selection of the species mainly took place on an intermediate spatial scale. The relevant scale falls into the same range as the species' mean dispersal distances. Besides the rather coarse grained factor 'type of habitat' structural factors as well as abiotic factors are correlated with the occurrence of the species. The model of S. lineatus, including the parameters 'type of biotope' and 'vegetation height' was most successful in predicting the occurrences of the bush cricket species. To further test whether the occurrence of species of different insect groups can be predicted with a common model, I tested the usefulness of the orthoptera models for the prediction of butterflies in the same region and vice versa. While transferability of the orthoptera models was poor, the model of the moth Z. carniolica performed quite successful. It included the proportion of suitable habitat as well as the occurrence of the two sucking plants C. jacea and S. columbaria as relevant factors. Z. carniolica is classified as stenoecious and thus represents other species typically found on fringes and mesoxerophytic grasslands. The high mobility of Z. carniolica simultaneously guarantees the reachability of regional suitable areas and thus ensures that the influence of the random effects of colonisation on the model are marginal. Unfortunately, the factors predicting habitat quality for a species are normally not available at the landscape level. Thus, they cannot be used for the prediction of occurrences without extensive censuses in the field. Nevertheless, my results show that the sole use of the variable 'type of habitat', which often is available landscape wide, will be sufficient for the classification of habitat suitability in a landscape. I conclude that for practical use in conservation biology the type of biotope can be used to predict occurrence of the studied species. Besides quality/quantity of suitable habitat, dispersal of individuals between patches is a key factor influencing the survival of populations. Thus, the second part of my work concentrates on theoretical as well as empirical studies on the dispersal behaviour of bush crickets. In field experiments I could show that the assumption of a dichotomous movement behaviour does not apply for bush crickets. Instead, movement pattern changes continuously with structural resistance, temperature, mortality risk and resource availability. This result is confirmed in my experiments on the behaviour of bush crickets at habitat borders. For different borders I could demonstrate different edge permeabilities. Additionally, I observed that grasshoppers could detect suitable habitat from a certain distance. Because the dispersal behaviour plays an important role in theoretical models, my empirical data can be used to parameterise such models. In addition to the influence of movement pattern on the reachability of suitable habitats, I could demonstrate, with simulation models, that the influence of the landscape context in which dispersal takes place has a critical impact on the exchange of individuals between patches. This effect is enhanced if mortality risk during dispersal is accounted for. The results from my studies on habitat suitability can be used to identify suitable habitat for grasshoppers and bush crickets in a landscape. Consequently, the potential suitability of an area as habitat, based on predictions on changes in the type of biotope by management regime, can be predicted. But this information alone is not sufficient to determine regional survival probability of a species. My investigations concerning the dispersal behaviour clearly show, that the reachability of suitable areas is dependent on the spatial configuration of patches and the structure of areas between habitats. Additionally, factors specific for individuals, like motivation and physiological factors play a crucial role for the reachability of suitable habitats.
Male-killing endosymbionts: influence of environmental conditions on persistance of host metapopulation (2008)
Background: Male killing endosymbionts manipulate their arthropod host reproduction by only allowing female embryos to develop into infected females and killing all male offspring. Because of the reproductive manipulation, we expect them to have an effect on the evolution of host dispersal rates. In addition, male killing endosymbionts are expected to approach fixation when fitness of infected individuals is larger than that of uninfected ones and when transmission from mother to offspring is nearly perfect. They then vanish as the host population crashes. High observed infection rates and among-population variation in natural systems can consequently not be explained if defense mechanisms are absent and when transmission efficiency is perfect. Results: By simulating the host-endosymbiont dynamics in an individual-based metapopulation model we show that male killing endosymbionts increase host dispersal rates. No fitness compensations were built into the model for male killing endosymbionts, but they spread as a group beneficial trait. Host and parasite populations face extinction under panmictic conditions, i.e. conditions that favor the evolution of high dispersal in hosts. On the other hand, deterministic 'curing' (only parasite goes extinct) can occur under conditions of low dispersal, e.g. under low environmental stochasticity and high dispersal mortality. However, high and stable infection rates can be maintained in metapopulations over a considerable spectrum of conditions favoring intermediate levels of dispersal in the host. Conclusion: Male killing endosymbionts without explicit fitness compensation spread as a group selected trait into a metapopulation. Emergent feedbacks through increased evolutionary stable dispersal rates provide an alternative explanation for both, the high male-killing endosymbiont infection rates and the high among-population variation in local infection rates reported for some natural systems.
Habitat quality matters for the distribution of an endangered leaf beetle and its egg parasitoid in a fragmented landscape (2009)
Fragmentation, deterioration, and loss of habitat patches threaten the survival of many insect species. Depending on their trophic level, species may be differently affected by these factors. However, studies investigating more than one trophic level on a landscape scale are still rare. In the present study we analyzed the effects of habitat size, isolation, and quality for the occurrence and population density of the endangered leaf beetle Cassida canaliculata Laich. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and its egg parasitoid, the hymenopteran wasp Foersterella reptans Nees (Hymenoptera: Tetracampidae). C. canaliculata is strictly monophagous on meadow sage (Salvia pratensis), while F. reptans can also parasitize other hosts. Both size and isolation of habitat patches strongly determined the occurrence of the beetle. However, population density increased to a much greater extent with increasing host plant density ( = habitat quality) than with habitat size. The occurrence probability of the egg parasitoid increased with increasing population density of C. canaliculata. In conclusion, although maintaining large, well-connected patches with high host plant density is surely the major conservation goal for the specialized herbivore C. canaliculata, also small patches with high host plant densities can support viable populations and should thus be conserved. The less specialized parasitoid F. reptans is more likely to be found on patches with high beetle density, while patch size and isolation seem to be less important.
Sex-specific dispersal and evolutionary rescue in metapopulations infected by male killing endosymbionts (2009)
Background: Male killing endosymbionts manipulate their arthropod host reproduction by only allowing female embryos to develop into infected females and killing all male offspring. Because the resulting change in sex ratio is expected to affect the evolution of sex-specific dispersal, we investigated under which environmental conditions strong sex-biased dispersal would emerge, and how this would affect host and endosymbiont metapopulation persistence. Results: We simulated host-endosymbiont metapopulation dynamics in an individual-based model, in which dispersal rates are allowed to evolve independently for the two sexes. Prominent male-biased dispersal emerges under conditions of low environmental stochasticity and high dispersal mortality. By applying a reshuffling algorithm, we show that kin-competition is a major driver of this evolutionary pattern because of the high within-population relatedness of males compared to those of females. Moreover, the evolution of sex-specific dispersal rescues metapopulations from extinction by (i) reducing endosymbiont fixation rates and (ii) by enhancing the extinction of endosymbionts within metapopulations that are characterized by low environmental stochasticity. Conclusion: Male killing endosymbionts induce the evolution of sex-specific dispersal, with prominent male-biased dispersal under conditions of low environmental stochasticity and high dispersal mortality. This male-biased dispersal emerges from stronger kin-competition in males compared to females and induces an evolutionary rescue mechanism.

It Ain't Easy Being Catholic
I am not sure when we came to a place where we thought our faith was to be without sacrifice, and was to be filled with happy and joy-filled thoughts. Now, don't get me wrong, we should be filled with great joy in receiving our Lord in the Eucharist and in living out our vocations in our daily lives, but every day is not filled with sunshine and roses.
When was the last time you went to the gym or went on a run and the entire experience felt like bliss? I can't think of a single one, and I have logged a lot of miles in my day! The bliss comes only after the agony of training, the sacrifice of watching what you eat and what you drink, hours of dedication, and the pain of sore and aching muscles. I can confidently say that no great athlete in the history of the world came to their place in physical fitness without great sacrifice. But, they knew that the journey was worth it because with great sacrifice comes great reward.
Seek as we may to find shortcuts to fitness and weight-loss, nothing works better than sacrifice, prudence, and hard work. The same holds true for us in our faith life. I have had many a discussion with individuals who see the teachings and "rules" of the Catholic Church as burdensome and as requiring of too much sacrifice. I am not going to tell you that being Catholic is without sacrifice. Surely, great sacrifice is involved. We make sacrifices in our careers as we lose promotions to others who are willing to lie and cheat and steal to get ahead. We make sacrifices for our children as we say "no" to devoting our Sundays to sporting events and practices because we know that Sunday is meant for Mass, prayer, and time as a family. We make sacrifices as a family when we donate to the poor rather than buying the latest tech gadget that just hit the market. We make sacrifices in our diets when we abstain from meat, or make some other form of penance, on Fridays throughout the year, not just during Lent. We make sacrifices in our comfort level when we speak our sins aloud to a priest instead of saying "it's between me and God." We make sacrifices in our marriage when we practice Natural Family Planning and the abstinence that comes with it, rather than choosing contraception. Surely, our lives are filled with sacrifices.
But, just as we follow the commands of our trainers on our road to fitness, we follow our Church on the road to Heaven. And what greater reward for our sacrifices than the gift of God's blessings showered down upon us and our arrival in heaven after we leave this world. Jesus and the Church have laid down a great road map for us. It is a marathon, not a sprint, and every day requires hard work and dedication. In the end, though, when you cross that finish line into the glory of Heaven, we will all know what that sacrifice and dedication was for! For no greater bliss exists than standing before our Lord in Heaven.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
On the biggest box-office weekend in history, Diana and Steve Wedgwood decided not to see a movie. Not at the Alameda Theatre and Cineplex, anyway. After heading over from Oakland for a Saturday matinee, the couple caught sight of International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees projectionists picketing beneath the marquee and opted — as a "union family" — to go elsewhere.
It's a scene the city of Alameda doesn't want to see repeated. Facing a projected $5 million budget shortfall for the 2008-2009 fiscal year, Alameda has been forced to cut back services and put a property-transfer-tax increase on the November ballot. And with $30.5 million in public funds invested in the new movie complex, the city is hoping that the facility will draw repeat business to the Park Street district and help increase revenues.
The July 18-19 picket by IATSE Local 169, which alleges that owner Kyle Conner is scratching prints and stalling negotiations, is the latest in a handful of potential image problems the theater has encountered since opening in May with a black-tie-and-slight-projection-glitches gala. And though the Art Deco picture palace, adjacent seven-screen cineplex, and municipal parking garage have netted attention and visitors from within the city and beyond, not everyone who's come to marvel at the natty new Alameda is planning on a return trip.
"This was all sold as this grand theater for Alamedans that we'd pay for to be the shining jewel of downtown," said resident Adam Gillitt. "And now I have no interest in having anything to do with it." Gillitt said he soured on the cineplex due in large part to technical problems after experiencing poor sound and attending a WALL-E showing that was "out of focus for pretty much the entire film." The picture eventually ground to a stop, he added, yet "no one acknowledged it. No staff said anything to the patrons. And then after twenty minutes it just started again. I can't remember the last time I went to a movie where the movie stopped. I mean, it might have been in the '70s. ... From what I understand, union projectionists would actually prevent things like that from happening, so I'm all for it."
Will Viharo, programmer and publicity director at Speakeasy Theaters, said the Alameda has been gaining a reputation for "butchering" first-run prints and turning off some filmgoers. "As an Alamedan, I love the new theater, but as someone who is also in the business, I can both sympathize with their problems and also recognize that they are unnecessary and easily solved," he said. Viharo believes that they "need some professionalism in their projection" or will run the risk of sacrificing "a lot of goodwill with customers. And also, I don't think the studios will put up with getting their prints returned like that." The competitor said he takes no side in the union dispute, but added that his theaters employ union projectionists because "if you want a job done well you hire people who know how to do it."
Conner, who partnered with the city to refurbish the landmark theater and build the cineplex, conceded that his operation experienced a handful of "opening issues" inevitable with such a giant undertaking. "Considering what we've accomplished and what we've delivered to the public, there's going to be a period of time in any opening of a business like this that there will be some bugs to work out," he said. "We're constantly striving to perfect, and the people are getting better and better every day."
There is indeed evidence that standards are improving at the Alameda. Viharo caught The Dark Knight twice on opening weekend. Projection was "stellar," he said, except for a serious DVD glitch before the credits rolled. Likewise, patrons leaving the 12:30 matinee on July 19 were wildly enthusiastic about the movie and the service. "Everything was fine," said Ruth Brown of Oakland, though she reported that the previous week she did wait 45 minutes when Hancock was delayed by "projection problems." Patron John Fagan, on the other hand, hasn't had any problems. Picking up his ticket on Saturday, he said that no amount of picketing would discourage him. "The historic theater looks awesome. And it's so convenient. I can walk here."
Still, Conner noted that 35-millimeter film is bound to get scratched on occasion. But his antagonists on the picket line dispute this claim. "We had No Country for Old Men for three months, and it still looked good the day it shipped out — no scratches, just a little wear," said projectionist Charles Rosenthal of the Cerrito Speakeasy Theater. And the Cerrito is a second-run house — meaning that it receives prints already shown at other theaters. Part of Rosenthal's work is inspecting and repairing the used prints he receives. He believes that a first-run house like the Alameda should have no damage at all. "See a movie at the Alameda and then go to the Grand Lake," he added. "There's a difference."
The difference between Allen Michaan's first-run Grand Lake and Kyle Conner's first-run Alameda, according to IATSE, is the skill disparity between expert projectionists in the booth versus regular employees running the machines. Local 169 business agent Jason Mottley believes a theater like the Alameda should employ "top-quality professional projectionists and technicians." He added: "This is the Alameda Theatre; this is supposed to be the jewel of the bay, the best theater there is."
Conner points to his sixteen-year history as owner of CinemaTECS for anyone who wants evidence of his own expertise with projection equipment. Conner knows his way around a projector; his company services such machinery across the state. "And I have a very capable projectionist crew in place already," he adds. "If I have one complaint, I have five hundred compliments. And that's no exaggeration."
Yet Conner himself pines for the day when projection problems and scratched celluloid are a thing of the past. He currently has one digital projector in the cineplex and said he expects to go completely digital soon. "The reality of it is that when I convert to digital, there is no projectionist," he said. "There's no projectionist anymore. I'm trying to make them [the union] understand that." The barriers to going digital involve conversion costs and fee arrangements. "It's an eight-hundred-thousand to million-dollar investment to go digital," Conner explained, and independent operators like himself face a distribution system controlled by conglomerates. Speakeasy's Viharo said he thinks going all-digital anytime soon is a "pipe dream," and that the new machines are "extremely complicated" to run.
Mottley doesn't believe that the Alameda will go digital in six months or a year, and opined that if Conner were able to go digital in that time he wouldn't have invested in different equipment for just the first six months. He said that after nearly two months of attempted contact with Conner proved largely fruitless, he and Conner sat down on July 5 and discussed terms and digital projection. "I said if you really think you're gonna go digital and you won't need us anymore, let's put a clause in the contract that says as soon as you go, let's say, 50 percent digital, we'll either reopen the contract or renegotiate it or even end the contract. And he said no."
The July 5 meeting came about, Mottley claims, when the union finally took up picket signs after receiving no responses from Conner or Alameda Mayor Beverly Johnson regarding calls, fliers, and letters about starting negotiations. "It was July 4th weekend, and I think he would have said or done anything to get us to leave," said Mottley. The impromptu negotiations lasted twenty minutes, with Mottley proposing "something that was partial union, partial nonunion," including basic terms and transitions to digital technologies.
Alameda's mayor was involved in facilitating the 2006 negotiations between the United Food and Commercial Workers union and the owners of the new Nob Hill grocery store, which was a city redevelopment project. At the time, she told the Oakland Tribune that she had personally spoken to officials at the new development and said "It's not acceptable that Nob Hill is considering opening nonunion."
Conner said he and the mayor have discussed the union issue. "I think what city officials are urging is that I make a prudent decision about what's best for the theater," he said. "It may or may not be with the union is what I understand."
But at least for now, understanding is in short supply between all parties. What Conner understands as negotiation, IATSE calls stalling; what IATSE understands as excuses, Conner calls diligence. While city redevelopment officials say they see two parties working it out between themselves, IATSE said Conner is not actually engaging in talks.
Mottley claims that Conner promised him a substantive proposal by July 7; Conner said he wanted to see copies of IATSE's contracts with other area theaters. "It's not an unreasonable request to look at some contracts before I have discussions with them further. They're not entitled to what they're asking for. I don't know for sure what they're asking for until I see these contracts."
IATSE has contracts with theaters throughout the East Bay, including AMC Bay Street 16 in Emeryville, the Oaks and Elmwood in Berkeley, and the four area Landmark theaters, among others. They are currently in negotiations with United Artists/Regal, the largest chain in the country, but do not have a contract with the Century chain.
Conner said he is waiting on receiving contracts from Landmark and North American Cinemas, for whom he once worked as a general manager when they owned the Elmwood Theatre in Berkeley and the South Shore in Alameda. "I had hoped to further the discussions this week, but I'm still waiting to get the information," he said. "I'm still waiting to get them. I don't care, send me a blank contract. Send me anything so that I can review what they're asking for."
Mottley said Conner has not made good-faith contact regarding the status of those contracts. He says Conner is welcome to locate them, but claims they are irrelevant to any future negotiations, both because one of the contracts is for jobs unlike those at the Alameda and because "even if nobody else had union contractors, this is about the jewel of the bay. They should be setting the standard."

I have a maven eclipse problem with the "jbpm-examples" of the GitHub repository (Version = 5.3.0.Final). I found a solution that consists on add the following code in the POM :
<ignore />
but I can't modify the POM of "droolsjbpm_parent".
If somebody encounter this problem and have a solution or a way it ill be very nice.
Also, I don't know if it is linked to the maven problem but the library of "org.jbpm.process.workitem" and "org.jbpm.task" are not added and so the imports failed.
But when I go to the console and use the command mvn clean package the examples compile and create well the jar in the target folder.

We all have to work hard to get our due success: Varun Dhawan
"I am just back from Bangkok to celebrate Diwali with my family. I have finished shooting 90% of my upcoming film and will go back to finish the remaining portion.
With three films in hand, I am busy as a bee. But I am enjoying this phase of life. After all, this is the time when I can give my 100% to prove myself." Varun Dhawan in a no-holds-barred mood.
A welcome change
I feel lucky to be born and brought up in a family associated with films. As a child, I remember always wanting to entertain everyone around me, I loved being the centre of attention. Since then, it was a secret desire to be a part of the entertainment industry, as an actor, singer or dance. So it makes me happy to be be accepted as a part of the fraternity. I also feel happy for those who make it big in films without a filmy background or connections. We all have to work hard to get our due success. What helps is the current scenario--new technicians, directors, writers and actors who are supported by big banners.
Comedy is challenging
I am excited about my upcoming film with my dad (David Dhawan). It will be my second release and I have attempted comedy which is extremely challenging for any actor. I simply surrendered myself to my director's vision. It's the story of a boy who is street smart and witty. How he solves the uncommon situations in life forms the crux of the story. The film is entertaining with a social message.
Being famous
It's quite surreal, Fame is just a by-product of my career. What matters is the quality of of work I do in my films. Its been a year and a half since Student of the Year released. In this industry, one has to prove himself with every film and I am ready for it with my next film.
Mentor matters
Karan Johar is my mentor; I always seek his advice on important professional decisions. I also consult dad when I need his feedback on certain matters. All said and done, the final decision is always mine (smiles).
Fitness mantra
I am in an industry which requires me to look good all the time. I keep fit by hitting the gym and keeping a check on my diet. I am eternally grateful to my physical instructors for this. I am currently into marshal arts, cardio, flexibility exercises and weight training as part of my fitness regime.
Love can wait
Right now, I am completely focused on my career. That doesn't mean that I don't want to be with someone, but this is not the right time for love. As I said, I am living my dream of entertaining people with my work.

4000 - Advisory Opinions
Insurance Coverage of Attorney Escrow Account Containing Clients' Down Payments on Real Property
November 9, 1990
J. William Via, Jr., Counsel
This is in response to your inquiry regarding insurance coverage for a deposit account held by your firm which consists of funds owned by clients.
In order for such an account to qualify for "pass-through" (or pro-rata) deposit insurance, the deposit account records of the bank must disclose that it is held in a representative capacity (e.g., by an agent, custodian, trustee or nominee) and the records of either the nominal depositor or the bank maintained in good faith and in the regular course of business must reveal the ownership interest in the account of each beneficial owner. See 12 CFR §330.4. A deposit account identified by your firm's name followed by "Special Account" or "Attorney Investment Account" does not in either case disclose that the account is held in a representative, or fiduciary, capacity.
When the applicable requirements for "pass-through" deposit insurance are met, then each beneficial owner of an interest in the qualifying account will be recognized for deposit insurance purposes in the same manner as if he or she had made a deposit in his or her own name. See 12 CFR §330.6(a). Thus, assuming that the ownership interest in such an account is the only "single ownership account" (see 12 CFR §330.5) that each beneficiary owns in the institution, the deposit would be insured up to $100,000 per beneficial owner.
In the case of funds held by your firm that consist of down payments in real property purchase and sale transactions, the question of whether the funds are owned by the buyer or seller pending closing ought to be ascertainable from the applicable contract provisions and state law. Typically, the down payment is required by the contract to be applied by the seller to the purchase price. The right of the buyer (and the concomitant obligation of the seller) in this respect exists independently of what actually happens to the funds once payment is duly made to the seller, or the seller's agent (i.e., it is the seller who bears the risk of loss if, for example, the funds comprising the payment are thereafter lost). An amount equivalent to the down payment is repayable to the buyer as a matter of right only on the contingency of a default by the seller (or on the contingency of the failure of a contractual condition that is not the fault of the buyer); further, in the case of the seller's default, the buyer may elect to seek specific performance of the contract. In short, under the typical contract, the buyer relinquishes ownership of (and thus risk of loss in) the down payment when it is paid to the seller or its agent and retains a potential cause of action for the amount paid, or for specific performance of the contract, together with damages in either case, if the seller does not fulfill its part of the bargain; this potential cause of action does not give rise to an ownership interest for the buyer in any specific funds held by (or for) the seller, and does not provide a basis for "pass-through" deposit insurance for the benefit of the buyer. Rather, in the typical case, it is the seller who owns the down payment, and bears the risk of its loss, and who is eligible, therefore, to claim beneficial ownership in a qualifying representative deposit account comprised of down payments.
Enclosed, for your convenient reference, is a copy of our regulation that governs deposit insurance coverage.
