In the current debate about European legal integration, it is frequently asserted that for integration of the national systems to succeed, it is necessary to develop a common legal language for Europe. The diversity of legal languages is an obstacle to integration, and therefore the plurality must be eliminated.*1 This raises the issue of whether Europe can possibly develop a common legal language when it does not even have a common general language.
If we consider the relationship between language and law, we find the common opinion that the language of law differs from most other sub-languages in one important respect: while the language of natural science in particular is a universal language used by scientists across different societal and cultural boundaries*2, legal language is culture-bound and intertwined with one particular society and its legal system.
In past centuries, Latin played the role of a common legal language, which was applied across the boundaries of local law. In a way, Latin can be called the common mother tongue of Western European culture, which has influenced the development of all major European languages. Its influence on the development of other languages began with the conquests by the Roman forces, which left their imprint first and foremost on the vocabulary and the syntactic rules of literary language. The Latin language was carried by Roman soldiers, administrators, settlers, and traders to the various parts of their growing empire. Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Dalmatia, and the southern and eastern coasts of Spain had been brought under Roman sway by the end of the third century BC, and the expansion continued until with Trajan's conquest of Dacia the Roman Empire reached its greatest extent, including Britain in the far west and the Hellenistic kingdoms in the east, with the northern frontier on the Rhine and the Danube. The consequence was that a common civilisation was developed that varied little from country to country.*3 Latin, the language of the new ruling power, was from this point on the language of government and administration, legislation and the judiciary, trade and army operations.
After the collapse of the Roman Empire in 476 AD, Rome lost its political independence, but the significance of Latin, on the contrary, did not lessen. During the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance and Reformation and beyond, Latin was used in particular as the language of the church, education, and scientific realms. Communication between states and nations was conducted in Latin, as was the correspondence of intellectuals and scholars.
The place of Latin in the history of the development of the law in Western civilisation is also notable. The importance of Latin as a legal language may be traced back to 450–451 BC, when the Twelve Tables were created, forming the basis of the subsequent development of Roman law.*4 All major sources of our knowledge of Roman law are written in Latin — e.g., the collection of Roman Emperor Justinian known as the Corpus Iuris Civilis. This codification had a direct impact on the development of the legal systems of Europe, and it has even been considered*5 to be the most influential law book ever written. In addition, Latin was the language of the most prominent works on jurisprudence and legal philosophy, including famous tractates of Cicero, St. Thomas Aquinas, Hugo Grotius, and many others.
Europe today does not have such a legal lingua franca. It follows that lawyers belonging to different legal systems have no shared language. Legal languages are dependent on the legal systems and cultures to which they belong. Therefore, communication between European lawyers is often hindered by language barriers and is typically characterised by misunderstandings caused by differences in legal experience.
For instance, when a French lawyer refers to contrat, this concept is radically different from the notion of contract in the mind of a common-law lawyer. Superficially, the concepts are the same, but, at the deep level of legal thinking, they form opposite approaches to contract formation.*6
Lawyers from differing speech communities generally use English, but a good command of English is no guarantee of successful legal communication. On the contrary, English is probably the most inadequate language to apply as a legal lingua franca, because legal English is the language of Common Law.*7
Likewise, the lack of immediate understanding among Europeans can be remedied by translation only imperfectly, because translation of legal texts is always unidirectional, transferring the legal concepts of the source language's legal systems into another language (the target language).*8 Hence, neither English nor legal translation can compensate for the lack of a neutral common ground for international legal communication in Europe. Legal languages are dependent on the legal systems and cultures to which they belong.*9
Ilmar Tammelo in his 'Zur Philosophie der Gerechtigkeit' asserts that languages used for national-level and international communication have proven irrational and deficient for forming expressions that correspond adequately to the meaning desired.
To avoid the linguistic unfairness and constant problems with legal translations, he suggests creating a special methodical artificial language — an ideal language in the form of a 'trans?linguistic' instrument for communication.*10
Mutual understanding is achievable, irrespective of the linguistic and cultural differences of the communicators, if Latin is used as the neutral and common ground. For grasping the connections between English and other languages, including matters of verbal logic and conceptual extent, basic knowledge of Latin is often essential.*11
The usage of Latin terms and phrases in legal literature has increased markedly over the years, especially in the last couple of years. From the recent studies concerning the usage of the Latin language in Estonia and Finland*12 we can see that Latin today retains a certain and firm position in legal writings and terminology. More than 600 Latin terms and phrases are part of the active vocabulary of Estonian and Finnish lawyers, used in rhetoric and for illustrative purposes or as normative arguments with specific juridical information.
The principles of the usage of Latin in Estonia and in Finland are very similar. The words most frequently occurring in legal language are lex, ius, corpus,and forum. This is not very surprising, as 'the law', 'the right', 'the body', and 'the court of justice' are the basic elements of the law. Similarly, the words that follow on the list correspond to the expectations: culpa ('the fault, the negligence'), ratio ('the reason'), res ('the thing, the object'), factum ('the fact, the deed'), poena ('the punishment'), crimen ('the crime'), vis ('the force or violence'), and pactum ('the pact').
Commonly used terms and phrases in the legal works examined are corpus iuris ('the body of law'), lex mercatoria ('commercial law'), de lege ferenda ('according to the law it is desirable to establish'), culpa in contrahendo ('pre-contractual liability'), lex fori ('the law of the court'), de facto ('in fact'), de lege lata ('according to the law in force'), pacta sunt servanda ('agreements of the parties must be observed'), lex specialis derogat generali ('a special statute overrules a general one'), nullum crimen nulla poena sine lege ('there should be no crime and no punishment without a law fixing the penalty'), in dubio pro reo ('in the case of doubt, the defendant is to be preferred', the presumption of innocence), and ne bis in idem ('not twice for the same' — i.e., a man shall not be tried twice for the same crime).
In addition to juridical terms, commonplace Latin expressions and abbreviations are often used in legal texts: op. cit. for opus citatum or opere citato ('quoted book, in the quoted book') expressis verbis ('pointedly'), ca.for circa ('about, around', usually in a temporal context), sui generis ('of its own kind'), ib.or ibid. for ibidem ('in the same place or book'), ad hoc ('for this, for this special purpose'), a priori ('from the former'), supra ('above, upon'), prima facie ('at first sight'), and many others.
The above-mentioned terms and phrases are not found solely in the legal materials of Estonia and Finland. Also, even more Latin terms can be found in the languages used by Western European lawyers, especially German. More precisely, many new Latin terms have been created in recent years — for example, Societas Europaea and fumus boni iuris, which is in use in the European Court of Justice.
Language, the instrument for communication, is created, adapted, and refined in response to the manifold and ever-changing demands of society and the environment in which it is set.*13 Accordingly, it must be noted that the traditions of the usage of Latin can vary a lot among major legal cultures. The difference is distinguishable between Latin terms as applied in Common Law and Continental Law. For example, the term exitus comes from the Latin word exire ('to go out or away'). In Continental Law it signifies 'the death'; dictionaries of Common Law, on the contrary, denote the meaning as 'the children, offspring; the rents, issues, and profits of lands and tenements; an export duty; the conclusion of the pleadings'.*14
As most of the legal terms and phrases in Latin were adopted more than two thousand years ago, it is understandable that their meaning has changed over the centuries. For example, the term ius civile ('civil law') has numerous meanings. First, there are oppositions even within Roman law itself. There, ius civile refers to the portion of the law peculiar to one state (civitas) as opposed to that common to all peoples, the ius gentium. A different opposition contrasts the part of the law derived from statutes and juristic utterances against that part of the law based on the edicts of a magistrate, especially the urban praetor (ius honorarium).*15
During the time of the Byzantine Empire and the Middle Ages in Europe, the ius civile signified Roman law in general. In a wider sense, its meaning was also the positive (in the sense of prescribed) law, in contrast with the divine law (ius divinum) and natural law (ius naturae).*16 The Middle Ages also saw the development of the meaning of the ius civile concept as we use it today. At that time, jurisprudence focused on the study of the Corpus Iuris Civilis, especially the examination of those passages in which legal relations between private persons were explained. At times, this discourse affected the usage of the term as well. From this derives the meaning of civil law in contemporary Europe — the body of law regulating the relations between private persons.*17
Usage of Latin terms helps us improve and gain better knowledge of our own legal languages. Studies of legal language show that the synonyms are generally spread evenly through terminology, especially in legal translations.*18 Usually, except in the Romance languages, the same concept can be expressed both with a foreign word (with the Latin root) and with an 'original' word developed later, an example of this being delictum — delict — tort.
In legal language, partial synonymy (so-called quasi-synonymy) is used as well. In this case, particular care must be taken — if the meaning of the words coincides only partly, this may cause misunderstanding and misinterpretation. For example, the term 'agreement' can be expressed in Latin with the following words: contractus, pactum, conventio, consensus,and stipulatio — all coincide semantically, yet, according to their legal definitions, they are different concepts.
Usage of modern languages in international communication can often create misunderstanding. Therefore, the application of Latin in the position of common legal language of Europe would be effective in many ways, on account of:
1) this language's strong historical connection with the development of European law (a major portion of the legal literature until the most recent centuries was written in Latin),
2) Latin being an intensely economical language (translation into modern languages easily expands the original text to double its length), and
3) its complete and well-formed body of terminology (Latin terms and phrases create a basis for a legal discourse spanning the different legal cultures and various language boundaries of Europe).
The history of a language is nothing less than the history of a culture. Although we cannot use Latin today as extensively as in past centuries, it still helps us to understand better the meaning of legal concepts and use the terminology adequately.

Johnny Splawn Memorial Golf Tournament
The Tournament
Each year near the end of September or beginning of October, the Lubbock County Young Lawyers Association hosts the Johnny Splawn Memorial Golf Tournament. The proceeds are a fundraiser for the organization, and a charitable organization is also chosen as a beneficiary.
Previous charity beneficiaries are listed below.
2018 – The Boys and Girls Club of Lubbock
2017 – The Team Luke Foundation
2016 –
The Man
Johnny H. Splawn, Jr., a lawyer, was born March 15, 1914, in Greenwood, Texas. He attended the Splawn School through 7th grade and Greenwood High School, riding 5 miles horseback to and from classes before the advent of the school bus. After graduating from Richardson High School near Dallas during the Depression, he attended North Texas State Agricultural College in Arlington, Texas for 1 year. He then transferred to Texas College of Arts and Industries, Kingsville, Texas, and graduated with a B.A. degree in Business Administration. He spent 2 years in Alaska, teaching school for 1 year at the Eklutna Vocational High School, near Palmer. He worked at a trading post on the Yukon River before returning to Washington, D.C. and earning an LL.B. degree at George Washington University Law School in 1942.
During WWII, John H. Splawn, Jr. served in the United States Army and attained the rank of Major after serving in 5 major battle campaigns, including the Battle of the Bulge and the Rhine River Crossing, while serving on the staff of General George Patton. On the River Elbe, he was assigned to occupation duty in Pilson, Czechoslovakia, for 10 months, dealing with the Russian troops along the demarcation zone. While there, he met Margaret Valasta Kopecku, born July 13, 1923, in Belfort, France. With her brother, Anthony, she served in the underground movement working against the Nazi occupation forces until 1943. At that time, her brother was captured by the German Gestapo. Charged for aiding fliers to escape England, he was executed in prison. Margaret escaped the German dragnet and, after the American Liberation of Czechoslovakia, she worked as an interpreter for the Judge Advocate General, helping process displaced persons. Margaret now lives in Florida.

NC OKs $1B Duke Energy gas plant; decision on rates later
North Carolina electricity regulators say Duke Energy Corp. can replace an Asheville coal-burning power plant with two units fueled by natural gas that will produce 50 percent more electricity.
The North Carolina Utilities Commission on Monday approved construction of the $1 billion early conversion of the coal-burning plant to cleaner natural gas. The country's largest electric company will pass along the costs to customers plus a targeted profit margin of about 10 percent.
Environmental groups say Duke Energy profits are intertwined with new construction, so it's overstating the future electricity need in the North Carolina mountains to get the plant built. Others argue the move locks in dependence on fossil-fueled power for decades instead of shifting to renewables.

You won't believe this, but it was – wait for it – 58 degrees when I stepped outside this morning!!!! 58 may not sound like much to the northern folks, but to us Floridians 58 degrees means a nice cool breeze and virtual non-existent humidity.
Fall is in the air- I can finally feel it!
We've actually been enjoying those temps all week. This just happens to be the first time I can brag about it. It has been nice to run in and according to the Chicago Marathon Weather Alert I received in my inbox yesterday, this is the weather I should be expecting on race day. Score!
However, I didn't run in it this morning. Instead I grabbed my new Shopaholic book and headed to to the elliptical to zone out for an easy 30 minute session. Nothing heavy, just enough to keep my legs loose and my mind occupied.
After a quick shower and – you won't believe this part – taking a minute or two to actually do my hair (first time using my blow dryer in a couple of weeks), I sat down to a lovely breakfast of cantaloupe, yogurt, granola, and peanut butter.
Not just any yogurt, it was the amazingly delicious Chobani Pineapple Yogurt. A favorite of mine that I only purchase on special occasions because of the extra $$ compared to a large tub of the not-quite-as-delicious plain.
You also see on the plate a handful of Uncle Sam's Cereal, a large dollop of Honey Peanut Butter, and a crumbled Dark Chocolate Adora Disc.
Marathon Packing
Last night I began the packing process for my trip to Chicago this weekend.
Yes, I said process. It takes a village to raise a kid and apparently it takes the same to pack for a marathon.
Traveling for a marathon is tough. The saying goes 'don't try anything new on race day' so let's say you forget an important piece of your racing equation at home – such as your running shoes or your lucky socks – then you're screwed. Well, not really screwed, but definitely not a happy camper.
That's why there's a process for me to pack.
Step 1: Wash anything and everything in the apartment just in case you decide to pack it last minute.
Step 2: Write a list with everything and anything you might need. (this step may take a couple of days.
My list.
- Shoes
- Running Clothes (umm.. I may be bringing 3 or 4 different options)
- Socks (!!)
- Headband
- Hair stuff
- Garmin
- iPod + headphones
- Mid-race Fuel
- Morning Fuel (at least have a plan in place even if you don't bring anything)
- Armband iPod holder
- SpiBelt
- Flip Cam'
- Point & Shoot Camera
Step 3: CHARGE EVERYTHING! Even if you think it's charge, top it off just in case – better to be safe than sorry.
Step 4: Set everything aside that you may want to bring
Step 5: Go through pile of set aside things and think about if you really need to bring three pairs of jeans or not on your trip
Step 6: Repeat Step 5
Step 7: Make snack baggies for the trip
Step 8: PACK!
Step 9: Question yourself a million times and repack everything a million times over
What are your essentials when packing for a marathon?

Why do some think that a purely personal understanding of self-fulfillment is antithetical to any strong commitment to a community?
Page 43
When one thinks of self-fulfillment with a purely personal understanding, they view their relationships and communities as instrumental, as a means to their own end. These relationships and community ties become secondary to a person's own realization of authenticity. One would not think about the community as a whole, but on the lines of direct benefit for the individual.
What are two modes of social existence which are linked with the contemporary culture of self-fulfillment?
Page 45
Soft relativism defines the first model of society, where everyone has the universal right to be themselves without criticism. Our rights are given to us as long as they do not infringe upon anyone else's rights. The second way requires intimate, love relationships with others in order to recognize our own identity. Our identity require recognition by others.
What is the difference between honor and dignity as it is understood in contemporary culture?
Page 46
In our culture, dignity is an equality available to everyone. For example, everyone is given the sir-name "Mrs." or "Mr." in our democratic culture. Honor, however, is linked to inequalities, which still can make sense in our contemporary world. To receive honors, such as an award, is only significant if not everyone receives it.
How does instrumental rationality fortify this atomism?
Mobility results in more casual, impersonal contact (think of the people that you depend on for services but about whom you know very little), which lessens our connections to others. But, more specifically, instrumental reason develops atomism when we consider others as means toward our ends. Remember President Kennedy's injunction, "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." Taylor maintains that we primarily ask the former question, and this is the connection between atomism and instrumental reason. Our relationships are weakened, and we are isolated, when we consider only the benefits that our relationships and communities may provide for us (58-59).
What are the two "slides" to subjectivism to which Taylor refers?
Taylor addresses these slides mainly in terms of their cultural prevalence. One of them is the descent into self-centered forms of authenticity, where the focus is more on the development of the self and the discounting of one's surroundings and potential values as instrumental in nature. But Taylor also addresses a high-culture variant that more directly targets and aims to deconstruct the values themselves, giving great power to the individual anyway. Regardless of the travelers or the route taken, the destination is the same. Personal development is seen to be entirely grounded in the self, without reference to external values, roles, or guidelines (60).
What is the relationship between "authenticity" and "originality"?
Refer back to Herder (28-29). He said that we each have our own way of being human, and that we miss out if we don't discover and live in our unique ways. Not only do we have to determine what our way of living is to be, in order to be authentic, but we also, if we agree with Herder's view, develop a unique way of living in the process of being authentic, making our lives original. In addition, Taylor uses a nice aesthetic parallel here: a while ago, we went from imitating what we saw (mimēsis) to creating something new that didn't resemble what we perceived (poiēsis), and now we do this with our identities by creating something other than what society would, if allowed to work its will, decide that we are to be (61-62).
What are the component dimensions of authenticity which Taylor names (A) and (B)?
(A) consists of "creation and construction as well as discovery, […] originality, and frequently […] opposition to the rules of society and even potentially to what we recognize as morality" (66). These are the aspects of authenticity that we haven't lost. Taylor thinks that authenticity also requires "openness to horizons of significance […] and […] a self-definition in dialogue." Taylor maintains that we generally lose sight of these things, and he has just established why they are necessary for us to live authentically.
Why must one not privilege (A) over (B) or vice versa?
Remember, (A) and (B) are on page 66. (B) acts mainly as restraint and background for (A). (B) without (A)'s influence was present in society for a long time, with (A) only developing recently as the major constituent parts of authenticity. In a sense, (B)'s focus on external aspects of identity, like values and dialogue, is Taylor's reconciliation of the externally derived roles and identities that our ancestors had with the freer aspects from (A), like originality and discovery. So while omitting (B) results in anthropocentrism, atomism, and Taylor's other evils, omitting (A) and retaining (B) is more difficult when Taylor phrases (B) thus. We would more likely omit the crossover between (A) and (B), giving us only the societal definitions and constraints and, according to Herder, missing out on what our lives may become.
Why are intimate personal (or "love") relationships seen as the "crucibles of inwardly generated identity"?
Page 49
Our identity has a strong reliance on our relationships with others. We are vulnerable to the recognition and judgments given to us by our significant others, which makes relationships the key to our own self-discovery and especially our self-confirmation. Demeaning remarks are detrimental to our conceptions of identity.
Why can't mere difference itself be the ground of equal value?
Page 51
Taylor refers to his previous argument that just the fact that people choose different things does not make those choices equal. This is also true when two people find themselves different because of race, sex, or culture, these difference are not equal. There has to be a value to these identities that can be used to justify the difference. One can't just say that though someone is different, he or she can now be equal.
Why must there be substantive agreement on value so that the formal principle of equality does not become empty and a "sham"?
Page 52
We cannot just simply say that two different people are equal, or else our words are empty. We must agree on standards of value, such as the capacity to reason, memory, love, or dialogical recognition. We can only understand equality if we actually share something that we agree has value.
What is social atomism?
Page 58
When we see atomism one should think of isolation into the smallest form possible or basically radical individualism. Social atomism sees fulfillment as just the self, without consideration of demands that come from beyond our own desires and aspirations. These demands come from beyond us, and can come from history, tradition, society, nature, or God.
How is social atomism related to radical anthropocentrism?
Bottom of Page 58 –Page 59
Social atomism causes us to center on ourselves, and overlook the demands of the world around us; demands that come form history, tradition, society, nature, or God. When we center on our selves we become mobile, traveling around the country or the world in search of employment. This mobility means that we no longer form strong bonds with those around us, like neighbors or co-workers, but instead make more impersonal and casual contact, for example, Facebook.
Why did "recognition" never arise as a problem in earlier ages?
Page 47
In earlier ages, before the emergence of the ideal of authenticity, identity was moreso fixed with social position. The background that made sense of what a person recognized was mostly determined by his or her role in society.

Letter of Guarantee (LG, BG)
A Letter of Guarantee is provided by banks and other credit and financial institutions upon the borrower's (principal's) request. It is a written obligation to pay a sum of money to the principal's creditor (beneficiary) in accordance with the conditions of the obligation given by the guarantor, following the beneficiary providing a written demand for its payment. The principal pays to the guarantor a fee for issuing the Letter of Guarantee. A Letter of Guarantee may not be recalled by the guarantor and assigned to another party, unless stipulated otherwise.
As a general rule a Letter of Guarantee is irrevocable because it cannot be recalled by the guarantor issuing it. The beneficiary's rights cannot be assigned under a Letter of Guarantee, as the demand of the beneficiary to the guarantor may not be assigned to another party.
For our clients, we issue Letters of Guarantee – independent obligations in relation to the beneficiary to pay a certain amount against the beneficiary's written demand, with a statement about non-fulfillment by the beneficiary's counter part of its contractual obligations.
As with a Letter of Credit, a Letter of Guarantee is the bank's obligation to pay against documents provided, independent of the contract, however the essence of a Letter of Guarantee is ensuring fulfillment of obligations, i.e. payment under a Letter of Guarantee occurs in case of non-fulfillment of contractual obligations.
As a Letter of Guarantee is an instrument being totally independent from a contract, the bank receiving a demand under a Letter of Guarantee shall be obliged to make payment independently of the real state of affairs with the contractor fulfilling its obligations.
Letters of Guarantee (in case of import of goods, works, and services) are issued to secure more favourable conditions of supply.
Possessing a Letter of Guarantee, the beneficiary (seller) may provide to the principal (buyer) a supplier's credit (grace), increase the sum or period of grace, or provide an additional discount for products purchased etc.
The beneficiary (seller) is aware that the risk of the principal's (buyer's) non-payment for the goods supplied (works performed, services rendered etc.) is already covered by the Letter of Guarantee.
For the buyer, a Letter of Guarantee is an advantage due to its low price and possibility to receive additional commercial benefits from the seller.
A Letter of Guarantee is a very flexible and convenient financial instrument: if an agreement is reached with the seller regarding the use of a Letter of Guarantee, and the buyer is provided with a grace period for payment, the buyer may plan its purchases and account settlement with the seller, provided that the amount of the buyer's debt to the seller does not exceed the amount of the Letter of Guarantee.
To receive payment under a Letter of Guarantee, the seller has to provide to the issuing bank a written letter of application in free form about the buyer not fulfilling its contractual obligations.
Sometimes copies of outstanding invoices and/or transport documents confirming shipment of goods to the buyer's address are attached to the letter of application. The authenticity of the seller's letter of application has to be confirmed by the bank it is served at.
A Letter of Guarantee is governed by the laws of the country in which it is issued. Therefore foreign suppliers ask to provide a Letter of Guarantee to be governed by the legislation of the country of their location. This is not always convenient for the buyer because it is necessary to involve a third bank located in the seller's country, for issuing a Letter of Guarantee. In this case, our company offers to issue an irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit (analogue of a Letter of Guarantee), which is governed by the UCPURR (Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits) of the International Chamber of Commerce.
Main forms and types of Letters of Guarantees:
Letters of Guarantee are very diverse and flexible documentary instruments allowing reduction of not only the payment risk, but other risks as well, for instance the risk of contract non-fulfillment, of breach of guarantee and tender obligations.
We issue the following types of Letters of Guarantee:
1. Guarantee of payment obligations – guarantee of security of the buyer's obligations to pay the agreed sum under a contract.
2. Guarantee of advance payment – guarantee of security of the seller's obligations to return the advance payment transferred to it by the buyer under a contract.
3. Guarantee of contract fulfillment – guarantee opened to secure proper fulfillment of a contract (supply of goods of the agreed quality and scope within the established timing etc.). Such a guarantee is usually issued for 5%-20% of the contract fee.
4. Tender guarantee – guarantee of securing fulfillment by a tender participant of its tender obligations. As a rule, tender obligations lie in signing a contract of the established form and in provision of guarantee of contract fulfillment (issued, as a rule, for 1% - 5% of the contract fee).
5. Guarantee of loan return – bank's guarantee in favour of the creditor, securing the borrower's obligation to return the loan given to it by the creditor.
6. Reverse export guarantee – guarantee of securing the obligations of the party performing duty-free import of equipment to the territory of a country, with obligation of its export in a certain time (for instance, for demonstration at an exhibition etc.).
7. Guarantee of investment obligations – guarantee securing fulfillment by the investor of its investment obligations. As a rule, it is required as one of the conditions for participation in a competition for purchasing stock.
8. Usually, Letters of Guarantee are issued for 1 (one) year and 1 (one) month.
A Letter of Guarantee will be issued via SWIFT МТ760.
All confirmations and notifications are done only via SWIFT.
Attractiveness of the Letter of Guarantee:
1. Security of the interests of contract partners in diverse fields of activity.
2. No detraction of cash resources from circulation.
3. Possibility to receive from contract partners a commodity credit secured by the Letter of Guarantee.
4. Being a nominal payment obligation, a Letter of Guarantee is a cheaper product compared to a loan or factoring.

As the Cathedral of Notre Dame burned in Holy Week, Paris and the world reacted in deep sorrow. Now is the time to rediscover what it means to be a Church Triumphant. Some time ago, I wrote a post about the great 19th Century French writer, Victor Hugo and his literary masterpiece, the title of which was incorporated into "Les Misérables: The Bishop and the Redemption of Jean Valjean."

Real estate experts keep on advising homeowners to renovate their properties a bit if they are looking to sell them big. A run-down home will not sell easily for a high price. As you can imagine, all renovations cost money and most homeowners consider that if they start such a project and end up spending a lot of money, after selling and recovering their investment, the profit gained will not be that great. So, why go through all renovations? Well, the answer is simple. A good looking home will sell faster as opposed to a run down one. Plus, you don't have to spend huge amounts of money on renovating projects. Take bathroom renovations for instance. With the help of a professional company and a creative mind, you could significantly improve the aspect of your home. Here are a few tips on how to renovate your bathroom on a tight budget.
Using less tile for a greater effect
Each year, there are all sorts of trends that circulate and people find them quite interesting, really worth considering. Some are more popular than others are and this year, one of them can really help you fulfil tight budget bathroom renovations. To create a modern look, designers encourage people to use fewer tiles on the walls of their bathrooms. They can combine paint with tile. Cover the walls half and half, half tile and half paint. This way, you will have a modern looking bathroom and the amount of materials needed to renovate the space will be smaller, which means lower costs. The challenge will be choosing the colour of the paint for the walls. That's when creativity should step up and take over.
DIY details worth incorporating in the design
Keeping your budget low but also being creative often seems like an impossible mission. However, using DIY items is the simplest solution to your problem. Here's an idea on how to do that. You might be need bathroom furniture. Instead of investing in cold and lifeless pieces, you could look around your garage or in vintage store and buy wooden cabinets, old ones. These can replace the classic bathroom furniture, while adding personality and a touch of style to your space. Plus, wooden details are very much appreciated this year, so you can't go wrong!
Focus on the details
Think of the purpose of the project. What do you want to achieve by renovating the bathroom? Do you want to give this space a completely new look and impress those who might visit it? If this is the goal, you should consider details. Most people do not mind small details without knowing that these are the ones that carry the personality of the space. Change the details like the doorknob, the towel racks, drawer pulls and even the sink faucets and you will notice what a difference you gain.
Renovating your bathroom on a budget is possible and you can make it happen, especially if you are working with a dedicated company, experienced in bathroom renovations.

Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama on Friday expressed optimism that Ms. Fatima Mohammed, Nigerian/ECOWAS candidate, Commissioner for Peace and Security, African Union Commission would clinch the position.
Onyeama told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at the 28th AU Summit in Addis Ababa that given that Nigeria's priority was peace and security, it had a better chance of securing the seat.
He said Nigeria was not just focusing on intervening in conflicts but also ensuring peace after conflict.
Identifying Algeria as the strong contestant among five countries including Burundi, Malawi, Mauritania and Botswana, vying for the post, he said that should not however be a problem because the country had been occupying the post for more than 16 years now.
"We also feel that it is probably not appropriate for a union such as AU of sort to almost like reserve a portfolio for one particular country.
"I think every country must begin to play a role and as I said we have a good candidate, we are not just focusing on intervening in conflicts", he said.
The Minister however noted that the incumbent from Algeria had done a good job which Nigeria could build on.
`We also want to look at it holistically so that means conflict prevention, looking at strategies for that and peace building after conflict," he said.
The above issues, he said, are inter-linked and important and required different approaches for peace and security to reign on the continent.
According to Onyeama, in addition to having the backing of the Federal Government, Mohammed also has an impressive pedigree having worked on peace and security matters within ECOWAS as well as civil society.
"We believe we have a very good candidate and we believe that peace and security is a priority for Nigeria and that we can contribute a lot.
"We have peace keeping troops all around Africa; we have invested a lot in setting up the multinational joint task force in West Africa, and we are playing a very important role in the trouble spots".
"Nigeria's tradition of being in the forefront, dates back to the early 1960s in the Congo."
Onyeama said the quest for the post by Nigeria was consistent with the priority position accorded security by the present Administration.
He explained further that a high powered committee of prominent individuals of which he and the minister of state, Hajia Khadija Bukar-Ibrahim are members was set up by government to canvass for support for the post.
Others in the delegation he said included Minister of Environment, Amina Mohammed, Minister of Steel Development, Dr Kayode Fayemi, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari and Amb. Baba Gana-Kingibe both former Foreign Affairs Minister (NAN)

The Abbey of Farneta, dedicated to Santa Maria, rises on the small hill of Farneta, close to the beautiful town of Cortona, and excluded from the phenomenon of becoming a marsh thanks to the 320 metres of altitude that characterize it.
The foundation of the original monastery is reportedly to be attributed to the Benedictine and Olivetan monks between the 9th and 10th centuries, thanks to the intervention of the Counts Ronzano. However, the installation of much older materials re-used in the construction denote a preceding and older architectural significance. In fact, many archaeological findings from the Etruscan and Roman eras turned up in the immediate vicinity of the Abbey, such as the Etruscan vases and brick craters of the 4th century BC, so much so that we are led to suppose that the church with the apses oriented towards the east rose over the ruins of a temple dedicated to the god Janus or to Bacchus.
Roman civilization resided for a long time on this hill, to the point of making it possible to find coins dated from 217 BC and 275 AD and leaving its own imprint also in the place name of the locality. The origin of the word "Farneta" can in fact be traced back to the word "farnia" [English oak], from the Latin "farnea", a vulgate name for designating a typology of oak tree. Farneta also acted as a river port during medieval times, with a landing stage for the boats that navigated on the Chiana, thus enriching itself considerably and assuming total autonomy also in the religious sphere, considering that the Abbey was independent of the parish of Montecchio and had been raised to the role of free priory with the further privilege of a baptismal font.
Thanks to its current appearance, the evident interventions which the church has collected can be attributed to the 18th century, as well as to the first half of the 20th century. Its interior reflects the tendency to a co-mixed cross planimetry, with a more developed transept. The raised presbytery is enriched with a total of four of semicircular apses, one of which is lateral. Both the crypt and the holy water stoup, made from two Roman capitals, indicate the commingling of tastes between ancient and medieval that can be found throughout the building. Connected to the Abbey of Farneta, a small archaeological and paleontological museum has been prepared in the sacristy that is the custodian of important fossils, Etruscan urns, and other findings of more than minor importance.

Al Fayed sought to soothe the nerves of supporters as the Londoners took a step into the unknown after 16 years of improvement and stability under the watchful eye of the Egyptian businessman.
Khan, owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars NFL franchise, assumed "100 percent ownership of the club, debt-free, as of today", the Premier League team said on their website (www.fulhamfc.com).
Al Fayed, who lifted Fulham from the third tier to the top flight, attracted a string of high-profile managers and steered the club into their maiden European final, stressed there would be continuity in the boardroom.
"My time of serving as the custodian of Fulham Football Club would one day come to an end and I feel that time has now arrived," he said.
"The time is right because I have found a very good man in Shahid Khan to accept the responsibility and privilege I have enjoyed since 1997. Fulham will be in very good hands with Shahid whose success in business and passion for sport is very evident."
The sentiment was echoed by Khan, keen to impress upon fans the principles that had underpinned Al Fayed's time in charge would be maintained.
"Fulham is the perfect club at the perfect time for me," Khan said. "I want to be clear, I do not view myself so much as the owner of Fulham but a custodian of the club on behalf of its fans.
"My priority is to ensure the club and Craven Cottage each have a viable and sustainable Premier League future that fans of present and future generations can be proud of."
Fulham fans have seen their club transformed since Al Fayed's takeover in 1997, from lower league strugglers to stable Premier League competitors who have forged traditions of playing open, attacking football.
When the Egyptian completed a six million pounds ($9.07 million) takeover at Craven Cottage in 1997, he promised the supporters they would be playing in the top flight within five years.
They made it in four. With former England captain Kevin Keegan at the managerial helm, the club gained their first promotion under Al Fayed and then former France international Jean Tigana led them to the promised land of the Premier League in 2001.
Managers came and went but Fulham stayed up, despite a few close shaves with relegation, and with the arrival of boss Roy Hodgson in 2007 they enjoyed a purple patch in their history.
During his three years in charge the current England coach took the club to the Europa League final in 2010 where they were unlucky to lose 2-1 in extra-time to Atletico Madrid.
Al Fayed's time in charge was not without the occasional odd moment.
He told fans they could "go to hell" if they did not like a statue of pop singer Michael Jackson that had been erected at the stadium but the wildly unpredictable owner was still a safe pair of hands when it came to the club.
The 62-year-old Khan is a billionaire car-parts manufacturer who was born in Pakistan but moved to the United States at 16.
His credentials in sport are founded on his stewardship of the Jaguars where he took control in 2011.
The Fulham website says "his personable approach, enthusiasm and bold vision for the Jaguars have since made him a popular figure in Jacksonville and throughout the NFL".
Last year the Jaguars signed a deal to play four games at Wembley Stadium over the next four years but they have struggled to fill their 67,000-seater home venue at times and are one of the NFL's weaker franchises.
Al Fayed told the supporters Khan would take the club to even better things.
"I am sad but proud of our achievements," said the outgoing owner. "I am very grateful to Fulham's fans, the most incredible fans in the world.
"They have given me their support and affection. I would never let them down. Now a new era dawns. Come on you Whites."

Orchids for taxpayers; Indonesia hopes for a surge in revenues
Article Abstract:
Indonesia is undertaking a revenue enhancement program to help finance an increase in government spending for FY 1993. Government expenditure is expected to rise to Rps 623 trillion while tax officials are counting on income tax revenues to rise 36% to Rps 14.8 trillion. However, most economists feel that the government needs to improve its tax collection efforts, since only a small percentage of Indonesians pay taxes.

|Project Interoperability
Share |
Project Interoperability is a collaborative, participatory, and transparent start-up guide for information interoperability across all aspects of government and the private sector. The IJIS Institute led the Project Interoperability initiative, funded and led by the Program Manager-Information Sharing Environment (PM-ISE) which is under the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Information interoperability is the ability to transfer and use information in a consistent, efficient way across multiple organizations and IT systems. From a technical perspective, interoperability is fostered through the consistent application of design principles and design standards to address a specific mission problem.
Projects like the New Jersey Information Sharing Environment have used a variety of tools and best practices – such as the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM), federal identity management, and the IJIS Institute's Springboard Certification and Testing Program – to enhance information interoperability capabilities. These tools have always been available to the public, but through Project Interoperability, they are being packaged and disseminated for broader use by the community.
Project Interoperability is taking the process outside of the four walls of government in order to increase the effectiveness of the community. These tools aren't new. They've been distilled from a decade of terrorism information sharing.
The goal of Project Interoperability is to help government and the private sector identify a baseline of terms, tools, and techniques to create an information sharing network in mission-agnostic terms and for any type of information sharing. Project Interoperability seeks to normalize the way information sharing technology is developed. If we're all using different terms to achieve interoperability capabilities, we aren't going to end up with interoperable systems, and we're going to pay for duplicative systems and excessive costs.
Information interoperability is important because it increases timely information sharing, can reduce costs and redundancy, and leverage best practices–all steps to improve decision making for government leaders, industry, and citizens.
What is the Standards Coordinating Council?
Information sharing and safeguarding is enabling organizations to do amazing and effective work in a variety of disciplines, including criminal justice, public safety, homeland security, public health, and transportation, just to name a few. Information sharing and safeguarding projects are supported by standards – these standards ensure that all the parties working towards information sharing are doing so in the same way, using the same terminology, and working towards the same goals.
Information sharing standards are numerous. They are generated by many types of organizations for a variety of audiences. These broad and far-reaching efforts require oversight and coordination, which is the purpose of the Standards Coordinating Council (SCC).
The SCC was an advisory working group to the White House's Information Sharing and Access Interagency Policy Committee (ISA IPC). The SCC provided advice and counsel on matters related to information sharing and safeguarding standards and other related issues in responsible information sharing. Visit www.standardscoordination.org to learn more about the SCC and get access to resources about information sharing standards, guidance on common terminology, and information about information sharing and safeguarding initiatives.

Embattled Rowland signs off on radio show
Under a cloud of suspicion for his role in an illegal consulting scheme, former Gov. John G. Rowland hit the mute button on his post-prison radio career Thursday, permanently signing off from his popular drive-time talk show as questions swirl about whether he could be sent back to prison.
Rowland, 56, announced to listeners on WTIC-AM that Thursday's program would be his swan song on the Farmington-based CBS radio affiliate.
"Tomorrow, the Red Sox will be on at this hour, and you'll be enjoying them, but I also want to say today will be my last show as I'm leaving the station to take care of some personal issues," Rowland began his sign-off.
A fixture on the airwaves since 2010, Rowland did not elaborate on his latest legal woes.
"I want to thank you all for listening," Rowland said. "I want to thank you for your tremendous support. I want to thank you for your loyalty. It has been a great experience, and we'll take it from there. God bless you all."
Rated the highest of any AM station in its market, WTIC-AM had been under increasing pressure to take away Rowland's soapbox, which the Republican used to comment on state and national politics, as well as the budget.
"We accept Mr. Rowland's decision to step down at this time," Jenneen Lee, the station's program director, said in a statement. "Pastor Will (Marotti) will take over the 3-6 p.m. show beginning on Monday."
Marotti, the spiritual leader of New Life Church in Meriden, previously worked as a co-host during the first two years of Rowland's show.
At the forefront of the public outcry for Rowland's removal was Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who on Tuesday characterized the allegations against Rowland as a disturbing violation of the public trust.
"The governor has already expressed his opinion when it comes to Mr. Rowland," Andrew Doba, a spokesman for Malloy, said Thursday.
The prevailing theory among political observers Thursday was that WTIC-AM capitulated to Malloy.
"I'm sure WTIC leaned on him a bit, too," said Gary Rose, chairman of the Department of Government and Politics at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield. "It's not good for their image to have Rowland as the host of a radio show."
State Republican Chairman Jerry Labriola Jr. declined to comment about Rowland's departure from the station.
Rowland resigned as governor in 2004 and served 10 months in prison for accepting bribes that included $90,000 in charter flights to Florida and Las Vegas from Key Air of Oxford, which enjoyed million-dollar tax breaks from his administration.
On Monday, Republican Lisa Wilson-Foley pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiring with Rowland to pay him off the books when she was a candidate for Congress in 2012. Under their arrangement, Rowland officially received $35,000 as a consultant to a chain of nursing homes owned by the candidate's husband, Brian Foley, who also admitted guilt.
The couple, who face up to a year in prison and up to a $100,000 fine, are expected to testify against Rowland in a possible prelude to an indictment.
"When you read about how they concocted this scheme, how stupid can you be?" Rose said. "Did you actually think you were going to get away with it?"
Numerous people close to the current investigation told Hearst last month that Rowland turned down an 18-month prison sentence as part of a plea deal.
Rowland's former campaign manager, George Gallo, is also under federal investigation for allegedly steering GOP direct mail contracts to a Florida firm as chief of staff for the House Republican caucus.
"Connecticut politics is certainly not what it once was," Rose said. "We used to have the reputation of being squeaky clean. It's going to continue to give Connecticut a black eye."

SO MOnday: 14th March 2016
Views 14/03/2016
Abbey Torrance and Emma Saddleton round up the best social and mobile news from the past week... including Thomas Cook's 360' video, British Vogue on WhatsApp, soaring mobile ad spend and key trends from SXSW…
British Vogue tests live alerts on WhatsApp
Following on from news updates from the BBC and Huff Post, Vogue has taken a step to become the first fashion magazine to use WhatsApp to send its audience live updates from New York Fashion week. Users can text Fashion to Vogue to get alerts and in the moment photos from the Chanel, Saint Lauren and Alexander McQueen runway shows within an hour of the unveiling. Whilst not releasing any numbers for now, Vogue have said numbers of those joining the group are "impressive".
The brand have limited themselves to a maximum of two alerts per day in order to maintain WhatsApp as the predominant place for conversations with friends and families. There are no official plans to launch ads onto the platform but this is an interesting way for those truly passionate about the category to engage with a leading brand in a relatively uncluttered environment.
Thomas Cook create 360' video to allow travellers the chance to 'try before they fly'
Thomas Cook have used 360' video to show off their new planes and give users the chance to experience the cabins before they choose to fly long haul on a range of Thomas Cook's new routes. Users can view the videos on their mobile (though they can also be viewed through traditional browsers) and experience the different cabins. The brand has already championed VR experiences in a live store in London but this extra step is another move towards mobile VR becoming more mainstream.
Mobile ad spend is driving UK ad growth
eMarketer have released their latest forecast for UK ad spend, which has called out the increase growth of mobile specific ad spend. Predicted to rise by 35% this year, for the first time mobile will overtake TV ad spend in the UK (£4.5bn compared to £4.18bn). Mobile's increasingly central role is demonstrated at the expense of all other channels, and is predicted to surpass desktop across all elements, including search. With mobile specialists embedded with our network, we have plenty of opportunity to educate our clients on how to capitalise on this increasingly important touchpoint.
Alongside CES, one of the biggest technology shows in the world, South x SouthWest kicked off last week in Austin, Texas. We will cover the key takeouts once the conference wraps up but a number of key trends have already been identified, and align with our own Dan Calladine's trends for 2016:
- Virtual Reality is becoming an increasing part of user experience
- Social will not just live in media, but move into an overarching 'social messaging'
- Artificial Intelligence and how this will move into everyday life.
- Dark Social and our ability to track sharing outside of our traditional news feeds.
- Our connected experience throughout life – from when we get up to when we go to bed.
The conference has already seen a keynote from Barack Obama who has highlighted the connection between technology and government. With technology a central part of everyday life, it becomes increasingly important that this connected experience is used in a positive, and not a creepy or intrusive, way.
We'll report more when the conference wraps up but follow the hashtag #SXSW if you want to follow the action before next week.

If this were you or I we would get Life Prison Sentences or State Execution

Will he have to sign up as a 'sexual predator?'
US soldier sentenced over Iraq rape and MURDER
A military court has sentenced a US soldier to 27 months in prison as an accessory to the rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl in Iraq and the killing of her family.
The court concluded on Wednesday that Private First Class Bryan Howard overheard his friends planning the crime and lied to protect them, the Houston Chronicle newspaper reported.
Howard had earlier pleaded guilty to the accessory charge and conspiracy to obstruct justice, and was sentenced at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
Murder and rape charges against Howard were dropped "based on his limited role in the crimes", the military said.
Five soldiers with the 101st Airborne Division have been charged in the rape and killing of Abeer Qassim al-Janabi in Mahmudiyah, south of Baghdad. Her mother, father and six-year-old sister were also shot dead.
Howard told the court that he was left behind at a checkpoint while four other soldiers went to rape the girl, and that he had overheard the four planning the attack.
"I was slowly starting to believe what they had done, that they had committed the crimes, the rape and the murder," Howard said.
He reportedly said in a statement to the court: "If I could go back, I would not have let it happen in the first place. I definitely would have told somebody."
The Mahmudiya case was one of several killings and abuses involving US soldiers that prompted Iraqi officials to call for a review of foreign troops' immunity from prosecution in Iraq.
Two soldiers had previously pleaded guilty to the rape and murders in Mahmudiyah.
Last month Sergeant Paul Cortez was sentenced to 100 years in prison for his part in the rape and murders, while specialist James Barker was sentenced to 90 years in prison last November.
The alleged ringleader, Steve Green, was earlier discharged from the army and is to be tried in a federal court.

Finally Off the Starting Line
Because all of my players liked the Yuthi desert so much, the game has started there, specifically in a small desert town named Lostant. The game started with the PCs arriving in Lostant around 7:30 pm, with gas tanks running low and the temperature dropping as it does in the desert.
Lostant is not a big community – it's about 3500 people or so, and it's basically just a wide spot on a highway that runs through the Yuthi. It has a number of small businesses, but most weren't open by the time they got into town. They passed a small newspaper, an auto garage, and a few other places on their way into town and finally came to the one open gas station which was manned by a tired and bored young half-orc who was busy with some homework and only paid half attention to them as they filled their gas tanks, then moved on to the local diner to get a meal.
Their meal went smoothly enough right up until their server was headed to the table with their checks.
At that point, a man (quickly revealed to be the server's fiance, a typesetter and printing tech for the local newspaper they'd passed on the way into town) stumbled in, wounded and bleeding profusely. The server, predictably, freaked out.
The PCs, being PCs, reacted almost instantly and implemented some quick healing magic. As they were treating him, they took note of the number of shallow, straight, and incredibly clean cuts on the poor guy, shouted for the cook to call the doctor (which he did, immediately) and headed out to the building the local newspaper to find out what had done so much damage to this guy.
Nasty Paper Cut
The PCs reached the newspaper without incident and immediately started scouting. Hala (Grant's PC) spotted the owner of the newspaper through a window, barricaded in his office with a shotgun. He made eye contact with her and she indicated she was going around. The PCs entered the newspaper to find it completely ransacked. A quick conversation with the owner indicated that the office had been attacked by a group of dragonborn who trashed the place, hit the owner in the head and left him stunned on the floor, called up some kind of monster and left with the order of "kill everyone in this building." He'd crawled to the office and shut himself in.
The PCs warily approached the printing press area and were immediately attacked by a mob of origami warriors and a paper drake. Both of those creature types were described as being made of (or being like) folded paper, so it seemed thematic. After a fight that was tougher than I'd intended it to be (two of the PCs went down, although thanks to the presence of multiple healers in the party, that only lasted about a round) the PCs prevailed, and the paper blades of the origami warriors did a good job of explaining the wounds Bradley (the print tech they treated and spoke to at the diner) had suffered.
I went with the paper monsters for the first encounter because I'm sick to death of rats, wolves, and goblins for the first encounter of a game (so was Grant, if you remember – in the first battle of his game we fought sahuagin and a reef shark) and the attack on the newspaper (hopefully) is a little more interesting and implies a more active world than skeletons in the tavern basement.
With a wounded Kristoff (the newspaper owner) in tow, the PCs returned to town and went to the office of the town doctor, Dr. Cassandra "Cassie" Larkin. Krissi's character is a paladin, so she noticed something unusual on the wall of the office: a White Rose Sword, the badge of office and favored weapon of the Order of St. Argan. Dr. Larkin was a little vague about her past with the order, but she revealed that she'd left on good terms and simply considered herself to be more of a healer than a warrior. She also revealed herself to be a considerate person and a thoughtful one, helping the PCs out with a bit of extra medical care and updating them on Bradley's condition (stable).
While the PCs were there, she also mentioned she was treating two of the three deputies of the local sheriff who had been mauled in a recent manticore attack. By that point, it was getting on close to midnight and the PCs retired to a local hotel she recommended. Thanks to a note she sent, they received a discount on their lodging, and all four PCs turned in to sleep off the fight of the previous day.
Other Notes
Though the session was successful overall, I will admit to having struggled with Roll20 a bit, as this was my first time using it from the GM side of the screen. Also, as the ranger is kind of a sniper build, I need to be cognizant of the battlespace and give him some opportunities to pull back and snipe things. I described his sniper rifle as having been almost defeningly loud in the close confines of the printing room.
The players did find a bunch of useful features in Roll20 that we haven't been using in Grant's game and put them to use, though, so that was definitely cool. Hopefully, next session will go a little smoother, logistically-speaking.
It does feel good to be back in the GM saddle as well. Everyone seemed to have fun and the PCs have become involved in the goings-on in Lostant, so I'm going to call this first session a success.

[Editor's Note: With the regular season underway, our Cubs correspondent finally got around to writing this up. It is pretty mean and surprisingly belligerent, as to be expected from the self-described "best fans in baseball." Rivalries and cross-town pettiness aside, The 35th Street Review looks forward to another terrible season by, of, and for Chicago's minor league baseball team.]
You might have noticed this Cubs preview wasn't posted until after the season started, but I think it's important to look at just what would have transpired between the offseason, which was just two days ago, and right now, which is how long it took the Cubs to reach a level of unfiltered suckitude beyond even a remotely acceptable level.
You might also have figured out by now I am a Cub fan. This will need some explaining.
The editor/writer/web-guy/blogg-o/whatever-you-call-it of this site, who is kind of jerk when it comes to things like my baseball-related pain, asked what he, as a Sox fan and by extension a general ignoramus about things related to matters other than where to get a replacement water pump for an '82 Trans Am and the going rate for a
six-pack case of Stroh's and a bottle of Night Train, needed to know about "what's it like being a Cub fan right now," or whatever kind of hippie crap they teach you to ask at art school these days, and after reading my 9,487,303-word response and not understanding many of the terms used therein ("crowds," "sunshine," "fun," "life on the outside" and what-have-you), decided to hand me the microphone instead. So.
I was going to write up all kinds of reason for optimism this year, especially now that Carlos Zambrano has been traded to the Mets and Alfonso Soriano got sent to Peoria, but then I remembered neither of those things actually happened. Then I stabbed myself in the face to feel a new kind of pain. I can happily report it worked.
Then I was going to take a serious look at the competition, and while I did this Carlos Zambrano gave up six runs. During my lunch hour. That sound you Sox fans heard, assuming you didn't have your Very Best of Dokken
records tapes turned up too loud, was the sound of Cub fans welcoming back that old sinking feeling. Usually this happens much later in the season, and it's much quieter since Chad and Trixie are safely back at John Barleycorn doing Diesel Bombs, or whatever the kids are mixing with their well vodka these days, and the rest of us who should know better by now all knew it was going to happen. But this year will be different! No more heartbreak! No more waiting for it to be over, because it's already over!! Can you see this is killing me?!?
Also, there are already at least four Cubs players I wish could contract something incurable. Not literally, but you know, at least the kind of disease where they go ruin someone else's year instead of mine. Derrek Lee, I'd add, is not one of them. I actually really like Derrek Lee, and I hope the Cubs re-sign him before he runs off and wins a World Series with the Diamondbacks. The rest of you jerks can go fall from a high place. The Bears got Julius Peppers, by the way. Five months to kickoff. Can't wait.
So anyway, to answer your question, since you obviously worked so hard to get your job as editor of this site and have honed your journalistic/investigative skills through years of honest, well-researched sports reporting coupled with thought-provoking interviews about subjects that actually matter: it feels awful. It feels like having to go to the DMV every weekday, but only when it's nice out. It feels like having an ulcer in my brain. It feels like someone running over me with a car that has steak knives protruding from the tires. Probably an '82 Trans Am with a Sox sticker on the back, because that's just the way things go when you root for the Cubs: first your best pitcher gets shelled, and then someone hits you with a car, then you lay there in pain wondering when this guy forgot you're not supposed to throw low-speed fastballs over the middle of the plate, which I think my dog could do a better job of, except he isn't old enough to punch out a catcher and, no matter how hard I try to teach him, simply refuses to point to the sky in celebration before and after dropping fresh turds all over the field.
So how about those Braves, huh? Eh? Meh.
C. David Kearney is a lifelong Cubs fan from the Chicago area. If he owned an Alfonso Soriano jersey, he would put it on and then burn it.

Past Life Regression
Past Life Regression Treatment in Andhra Pradesh, Past Life Regression Therapy in Andhra Pradesh, Past Life Regression Therapists in Andhra Pradesh. Past life regression is a technique that uses hypnosis to recover what practitioners believe are memories of past lives or incarnations, though others regard them as fantasies or delusions or a type of confabulation. Past life regression is typically undertaken either in pursuit of a spiritual experience, or in a psychotherapeutic setting. Most advocates loosely adhere to beliefs about reincarnation, though religious traditions that incorporate reincarnation generally do not include the idea of repressed memories of past lives.
