Enhance Your Marketing Productivity: Hire an IIP
by Marjorie Desgrosseilliers
Independent information professionals (IIPs) help businesses make money.
Bold statement, yes. But its true.
We IIPs have always provided services that enhance the marketing productivity of our clients. Using our varied research expertise (knowing how and where to find information), professional insight and experience, we help our clients solve specific problems, make informed decisions, provide direction and guidance to their own clients and, in many cases, ultimately add to their bottom line which, if you think about it, is what marketing is all about.
So how do we do it? The proof, as they say, is in the pudding.
Providing Specific Marketing Services: SmartyPants Research & Marketing
Some IIPs, like my agency SmartyPants Research & Marketing (www.smartypantsresearch.com), provide marketing services to our clients; we make sure they get found by the search engines (enabling potential clients to find them), we tighten up website content to improve stickiness and (unlike traditional Yellow Page, newspaper, television and radio advertising) we market our clients to their targets more directly and inexpensively, pinpointing exactly which marketing tactic elicits what response.
Recently, SmartyPants worked with a city council incumbent in her bid for re-election. Four years before, shed won her race by a narrow margin of 157 votes, winning two of her citys 25 precincts. This time around, she was faced with some tough opposition and needed to win a preliminary election before the primary or main election.
We added analytics to and optimized her website; monitored her opponents via news alerts on Google and on social media outlets such as Twitter and Facebook and researched issues. We also wrote, created and delivered her email marketing campaigns.
She breezed through the preliminary election, and three months later, she won 25 out 27 precincts (the city had added two since the previous election) and landed an impressive 63% of the vote in the primary election. Though our client had built up her own credibility during the four years shed been on the council, she acknowledges that SmartyPants played a big role in her win. Influential groups and people are now watching her very closely. As a side note: candidates in neighboring cities liked her email campaigns so much, that they borrowed them and used them for their own campaigns. Didnt someone say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?
Leveraging Contact Networks: Red House Consulting
Many IIPs, like Jocelyn Sheppard of Washington, Pennsylvanias Red House Consulting (www.redhouseconsulting.com), have created vast networks of valuable contacts, which they are able to leverage in helping their clients. Recently, a teen health and wellness educator wanted to market herself more aggressively as a speaker and author of educational materials for children and adults. Shed also authored a book she wanted to target at a general audience.
Jocelyn and her team engaged in research of the clients specific target segments, providing essential market information. Combining that research with interviews conducted with their own network contacts, Red House assembled specific strategies for promoting the educators books and educational materials. Jocelyn arranged for a graphic designer to create a new logo and made recommendations on the print collateral design. She introduced the educator to an agent and created a road map for her to begin qualifying for speaking engagements on the college speaking circuit.
The client said that Red Houses services were worth every penny she paid.
Enabling Confident M&A Decisions: Carine Research
Carine Research (www.carineresearch.com) is an Australian IIP firm that specializes in merger & acquisition research. Principal Heather Carine has been preparing business proposals, looking at new business opportunities and formulating strategic ideas for businesses in the UK, the United States and Australia for over 10 years.
She was approached by a foreign private equity firm looking to invest over A$400M in a significant Australian business it was to be a new portfolio asset for the equity firm. Heather researched the Australian business people who would play a continuing role in the Australian businesses that were being evaluated, and she prepared detailed business profiles going back almost 25 years into the Australian executives experience. The report included the executives business and board experience, associated companies and their key business. These profiles helped to provide the foreign client with the reassurance it needed to proceed with the high profile transaction.
Without the timely and detailed information and analysis that Heather provided, her client would not have been able to confidently move ahead with the decision that quite lucratively expanded its portfolio and bottom line.
Supporting Sales and Marketing Personnel: Research-Ability LLC
Many IIPs work directly with sales personnel and marketers uncovering information vital to understanding a market, creating strategies to approach that market or even just simply providing lists and generating leads. By providing this crucial service, IIPs enable marketers and sales people to drill down to their target markets faster and spend more time doing what they do best getting on the phone and making sales.
Susan Wald Berkman has provided business information and strategic company overviews to sales and marketing personnel for over 20 years the last two as CEO of her own firm, Research-Ability (www.research-ability.com) in Coral Springs, Florida.
She recently worked on a project for a firm who develops marketing strategies and programs for associations. In order to market himself and his client appropriately and productively, her client needed research on a specific industry such as where it was, where it was going and major company players. The better her client could understand the market, the more relevant and practical his strategy would be to market his client association to potential members.
Susan compared the end clients membership tiers and their value proposition to those of other associations in the same industry. The final report to her client included an overview of the industry, challenges in the industry, the trends and opportunities, key players, demographics and a competitive analysis. Based on the information and input Susan provided, her client was able to construct a successful marketing strategy and plan for his client.
Expanding a Publications Reach: DLS Information Services
Wishing to increase his circulation/readership, a co-owner of a small local business periodical contacted Diane Stubbs Scottsdale, Arizona-based DLS Information Services (www.dlsinfo.com). He needed to identify the most beneficial geographic areas in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Diane identified circulation areas having a large percentage of business/professional people, a large lunch-time population, employment density by category, potential for employment growth, wealthiest zip codes and the highest number of daytime diners specifically, those who partake of mid-scale to fine-dining lunch.
As a direct result of the information DLS provided, the periodical was able to increase circulation from 18,000 to 111,000 copies, and attract higher caliber advertisers and award-winning writers. The success of this publication and the increased circulation is evidenced on newsstands, on street corners and in libraries and restaurants/cafes and by the number of awards they have won since the completion of that project.
Giving Strength in Numbers: Earthsense LLC
Some IIPs, like consultant Wendy Cobrda of Syracuse, New Yorks Earthsense (www.earthsense.com), develop databases and other informational tools. Earthsenses syndicated data helps manufacturers of products with green characteristics to understand trends in the market and to justify expansion, marketing and other plans. Wendy was asked to help determine which factors correlated with high sales for a destination retailer (a destination retailer sells specialty goods and draws from a larger pool of consumers relative to locations that are more convenience-oriented, such as grocery stores, convenience stores, gas stations). She spent a month analyzing the current 30+ locations and determined markets that had similar characteristics.
The numbers led Wendy into a side analysis, which revealed an unexpected and very interesting finding: she discovered that, in some markets, her clients current locations were too close together. As a result, they were cannibalizing each others business.
Based on that finding, the client closed several locations. The remaining stores quickly took up the sales slack and rose higher in sales rank for the chain. Because of Wendys keen understanding of the numbers, she was able to provide her client with crucial input that ended up saving them millions of dollars.
IIPs Enhance Marketing Productivity
As you can see, IIPs can differ greatly in the form our services take some (like me) offer actual marketing services, some offer statistical analysis, some offer telephone interviewing, some create databases or similar information tools and so on. The variations are infinite.
However, the common thread that runs through most IIP businesses is that the basis or the how of what we do to enhance our clients marketing productivity lies in unearthing, analyzing, synthesizing and even creating information providing clients with tools to make informed decisions and/or to help their clients make informed decisions about them.
In the end, what we do tends either to save or make our clients money. And in this economy, that makes us, and them, very happy indeed.
Marjorie Desgrosseilliers is the smartypants behind SmartyPants Research & Marketing and is its CEO and owner. An IIP for 15 years, Marjorie helps businesses market themselves effectively utilizing targeted, inexpensive ways to market their services, search engine optimization and Internet marketing.

Qui puoi trovare alcune utili istruzioni per mantenere la tua Canyon in perfetta forma! Seleziona l'argomento di tuo interesse e troverai la soluzione al tuo problema.
Adjust play in hub bearings
A minimum amount of play on the bearings is permissible. If, however, there is too much play then the bearings will need to be adjusted, otherwise they may suffer damage. In addition, the rim can then start catching on the brake blocks when the rider gets out of the saddle. If the bearings cannot turn freely, then the wheel cannot run freely. Therefore it is absolutely crucial that the level of bearing play is exactly right.
Checking bearing play
Hold on to the frame or place your Canyon in a work stand. Then wiggle strongly on both wheels. . Picture 1 If you feel a clear judder, the bearing play is too great.
If the wheel doesn't judder, lift the bike and turn both wheels. If it is difficult to turn the wheels, the bearings are adjusted too tight.
Tip for Mavic wheels:
The play on the hub is adjusted by the manufacturer in such a way that it is optimum when the wheel is fitted to the frame. If a Mavic hub has too much play, then tighten the quick release a little more. If the wheel is difficult to turn, then slacken the quick release lever somewhat.
Warning: When adjusting quick releases, it is very important to observe the instructions of the relevant manufacturer. Both wheels must be correctly fitted and secured in the frame at all times. Here in the Technical Support Center you will also find all the information you need on how to correctly operate quick release systems.
If that doesn't help, you can do the following:
Mavic wheels without QRM+ Technology (Cosmic Elite, Aksium)
1. Remove the wheel and quick release.
2. Place a flat cone spanner onto the inner cone. Then place a second spanner on the outer lock nut.
3. Now turn both spanners simultaneously clockwise around 5cm in order to reduce bearing play. If you wish to increase bearing pay, you turn the spanners anti-clockwise as shown in the picture. Picture 2
4. Re-fit the wheel to the frame and tighten the quick release. Do a short test-ride and then check the bearing play again.
5. If the bearing play is not satisfactory, repeat steps 1 to 3.
You cannot repeat steps 1 to 3 more than twice. If the bearing play still isn't as required, the bearings and cones must be replaced.
Mavic wheels with QRM+ Technology (Ksyrium, Cosmic Carbone, R-Sys)
The adjustment of bearing play on wheels with QRM+ Technology is very convenient and easy. The adjustment is made when the wheels are fitted in the frame:
1. Position the Mavic bearing adjustment tool with all the pegs in the holes of the bearing case. Now turn the tool clockwise to reduce bearing play. Turn the tool anti-clockwise in order to increase the bearing play. You should take great care when doing this work as the bearings are quite fragile. Picture 3
2. Do a short test ride and check the bearing play again. Correct play again if necessary.

Do you know if there is a difference in the image quality between the book-in-the-box program and web viewer?Has anyone tried viewing the issues online using Chrome?
Just one comment: if the email address you provide to register is from certain domains, there's an extra step before the confirmation email is sent (my guess is that it's email addresses from free email providers such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc). It's not that big a deal, but I thought I'd share it in case someone else encounters this.
Is it possible to legally dl English translations of the volumes and the young animal episodic releases?
Incidentally, does anyone know what exactly the 一気読み! "read gulp" edition is? It looks like it's just a digital repackaging of a couple volumes together?
Hey, thanks for this guide. I'm wanting to buy all the YA issues with post-vol 37 Berserk episodes in them, how do I find out what those issues are?
Any experience with buying digital Japanese episodes (of any series) which are later released in English? Do you have access to the English version or is it a double purchase scenario?
Would also love to be able to leverage our purchases into showing there is a demand for it. If anyone has any bright ideas on that front then please let me know.
One questions, do you know if there is kind of "Book in the Box" for Linux?
Thanks for the guide. Very detailed and useful information.One questions, do you know if there is kind of "Book in the Box" for Linux?
This is a step-by-step tutorial intended to walk you through the registration to hakusensha-e.net, the official online shop of Berserk's (and Young Animal's) publisher. Once registered, the process to buy and visualize a magazine is trivial and takes seconds at best, enabling a fan to support Miura directly (at very little cost) by purchasing the issues in which Berserk appears.
Hello, Aazealh. It seems the interface for hakusensha has undergone some changes. Like now I don't see those 2 buttons when looking to buy the digital version of the magazine. And if I click the cover, I directly go to buy, if I'm not mistaken, the material version. Think you could help me get the digital version? I would appreciate it.

Holy one,
We thank you for coming into our world as a baby brining your love, and your joy into the world.
It seems like just a short time ago we were celebrating his birth
and now we are taking a peek into the New Year.
We have no idea what the New Year is to bring;
and at the same time some of us are setting goals and making resolutions.
Lord, we pray for a good year for all, we pray that we all may grow in your wisdom.
We pray that all grow in your grace with you and with each other.
Lord our world could use more people who are wise and have grace with you.
But often Lord we don't know how to grow in wisdom and in grace with you so we pray you would clothe us in your wisdom;
with your love which brings perfect harmony to the disorder of our lives.
with your compassion that brings calmness and soothes the anger in us.
with your kindness that is a balm to our pain.
with your humility that allows the ire of pride to settle down to join
and collaborate with others.
with your meekness that stops the wars and bleeding.
with your patience that keeps us from impulsively giving into our urges.
with the ability to bear with one another instead of turning our backs on each other.
with your forgiveness that we can forgive others as you forgive us.
in your peace so that we could live in peace with one another.
in gratitude that we would praise you and thank you with grateful heart.
We pray for comfort those who have had deaths during this season
or facing painful and sad memories and anniversaries of loved ones.
We pray for healing for those who are ill, struggling with failing health, and whose loved ones are sick.
We pray for restoration for those who have been affected by tornados, hurricanes
and other forms of natural disaster.
We pray that violence would end and that your peace, love and joy may reign.

I'm currently reading Stolen Innocence by Elissa Wall on the heels of having read Escape by Caroline Jessop.
After having read Jessop's book, I get a better understanding of this one. What's different about it though is the author of this one was married by Jeffs at the age of 14 to a cousin who was abusive to her at a previous time when the prophet ordered Wall's dad to repent from afar because he couldn't control his family. "Control" in the FLDS meant not being able to keep the women "sweet" and obedient and their children likewise. Elissa and her siblings were forced to live on the ranch of an uncle who had an abusive son who Elissa was later forced to marry.
Like Caroline Jessop, Elissa Wall had plural mothers. They didn't get along. It created havoc and disharmony in the home and Wall's biological mother went to the prophet Rulon Jeffs for help. Jeffs was incapacitated from a stroke and his son Warren ordered her to leave for a while and allow Wall's dad to repent and work toward the prophet's good graces to let his other family come back. They were able to return but with the stipulation that her dad could control the family.
Another eruption broke out, leading Elissa's mother to once again call the prophet for guidence. This one lead to Wall's mother being "reassigned" to another man. In the meantime, Warren Jeffs had taken control of the sect and was putting out new proclamations from the lord which included no more public school because they were contaminated by the outside influences—-you know, like science, history, and the arts.
Another thing that both books mention is the rift in the community during the 80's in which women were being assigned to men in marriage by more than one councilman and/or the prophet. This lead to the prophet at that time, named Uncle Roy, to declare that assignments of marriage should only be proclaimed by the prophet. The council elders and a percentage of the community disagreed and this lead to the split. The ones that sided with the council elders were banished from the community and formed their own. Both communities were forbidden to have close contact with each other and the families who sided with the councilmen were called apostates.
As Wall points out, leaving all the decisions and power to one man can be a very dangerous thing.
to be continued…
Elissa got to talk to the prophet Rulon Jeffs and tell him tearfully that she believed she wasn't ready for marriage, that she was only 14 and she was being told to marry her first cousin. Still recovering from a stroke and being hard of hearing, she asked her to repeat what she said as he ate his lunch. When she was able to compose herself she repeated her story, only to have Warren jump in and tell him loudly that Elissa thinks she knows better than the prophet and says she's not ready. He said it in a tone that twisted her words. Finally, the old man prophet looked at her and told her to "follow your heart."
Of course Elissa took this to mean that she didn't have to marry the creep. When she left Rulon's side, Warren told her to expect to be married. She repeated what the prophet had said and he said what he meant was that you know in your heart what is right and that it's right to follow what the prophet says.
Elissa contemplated suicide and her mother was no help. She tried to intervene for her daughter and beg Warren to let her daughter wait a couple of years before marrying. No go. Those were the prophets command and must be obeyed. Pressure was on her mother to make sure she got her daughter married or she'd probably find herself in an even worse position—-damnation for all eternity. She feared that more than she loved her daughter. She would not protect her from statutory rape because she feared eternal punishment for herself and her children. She would also risk losing her status in the community, being treated like a leaper in the only world she had ever known.
So after being forced out of public school and away from the only true friends she had, and losing her older brother's protection when they were ordered out of Fred Jessop's house for "reeducation," Elissa was alone except for her mother and two younger sisters still living with them.
Now the day of the wedding has arrived and Warren Jeffs presides over the nuptials in Nevada (away from the scrutiny of authorities) and at the hotel that Caroline Jessop worked at for her husband. He orders the couple bound for all eternity and Elissa said it felt like she was condemned to hell either way.
This is a heart-retching story and I feel like I'm in prison just reading it.
Elissa's "husband," literally forced himself on her after several nights after being "married." Having grown up in a cult like this where sex education was taboo and girls were taught to view boys as "venomous snakes" until their wedding day, Elissa had no idea what Allen was doing to her. She cried to her mother and a few confidant sisters in her household that Allen was doing horrible things to her. They tried to explain to her about "man-wife" relations but she didn't understand. Her mother said that "Allen will teach you."
She was still naive enough to think the prophet, Warren Jeffs, would understand and "release" her from marriage. You can't get divorced in a marriage that the prophet has sanctioned. To do so would be going against "the priesthood" and you could risk losing your salvation. Jeffs sent her on her way and accused her of being disobedient and that she should never come to him again without her husband. Later, her mother was given orders to distance herself from her daughter and Elissa and Allen were granted their own home, a mobile home on FLDS property. Elissa "submitted" to her husband by laying there while he did his thing. She counted to herself until it was over.
Couples that are married in the FLDS are assigned living quarters. At least the newly wed ones are. If a woman is assigned to a man with previous wives, she moves in with the extended family.
Practically every life decision a woman makes in this cult must be approved by either her husband (the priesthood head) or the prophet. If one or the other said she can't go to college or work someplace or move to a new location, she won't. Her role is to be submissive, obedient, and child bearer to her husband.
I've got about 100 pages left to go, and now I'm up to the part where Elissa is meeting with prosecutors about the abuse she suffered under the control of Allen Steed and especially Warren Jeffs. Among the criminal charges against Jeffs—-rape of a minor, the banishing of under aged boys from their homes and families, and using the church communities' bank as a tool for control and manipulation.
Jeffs could decide where people lived and in what they lived.
When Elissa found the courage to stop staying under the same roof as her prophet appointed husband, her husband went to the bishop and Jeffs to complain that his wife was not being obedient and fulfilling her duties as a celestial wife. The best decision Jeffs made was releasing Allen from his obligation from her (code word for divorce). Their marriage was dissolved, not because of any abuse she suffered as a minor and getting raped and battered, it was because she had developed a close relationship with a man (whom she later married) who was kind to her and a recent refuge from the community.
Jeffs was found guilty of being an accomplice to rape of a minor and sentenced to two five year consecutive terms to life. After the verdict, new information came out about Jeffs. Not only is a sexual deviant who sodomized his own nephew and had "immoral" contact with his sister, he married underage girls while still in the sect. During a recorded conversation in prison he had with his visiting brother, he admitted he was a false prophet and that he had committed immoral acts. He tried unsuccessfully to hang himself in his prison cell.
In Walls book, she said the trial of her husband in the FLDS is pending.
A new trial has sentenced Warren Jeffs to the possibility of life in prison. Several other men, including Walls ex-husband from the cult, have previously been convicted of sex crimes.

New DFW shows its political colors
One of the best things the old Department of Fish and Game did was mix science and outdoors skills, free of political faction, at its clinics.
The new Department of Fish and Wildlife, with its new enviro-powered name less than a month old, canceled one of its best clinics over the weekend when political science trumped biological science.
Under pressure from the anti-hunting faction, the DFW canceled a predator hunting clinic scheduled Saturday in Davis, according to a statement from Fish and Wildlife director Chuck Bonham on Friday. It was an unprecedented move.
Jennifer Fearing, the California director of the Humane Society of the United States, opposed the clinic with support from other anti-hunting groups, and the DFW wouldn't stand up to them.
Despite its similar name, this humane society is not part of the community-based one that sponsors pet rescues, but rather is a separate political entity with a $100 million budget that underwrites anti-hunting laws, initiatives and actions, like last week's, all across America.
At one similar Fish and Game clinic I attended, a wildlife scientist explained how the "balance of nature" works in the wild, and the influence of predators.
The "balance of nature," the scientist said, "is based on the carrying capacity of habitat." Each habitat provides enough food, water and cover to support so many animals, he said. "The populations will rise and fall according to that carrying capacity."
"That," he explained, "is the balance of nature."
He called the arrival of high volumes of large predators, such as packs of coyotes or wolves, "often outside the scope of a habitat's carrying capacity."
In a wildlife range with abundant deer or elk, for instance, high numbers of coyotes or wolves will kill many of them, especially the fawns and yearlings. The wildlife get eaten or driven out. With no food left, the predators leave for the next spot and a habitat can be left with few animals.
Last summer, to protect its threatened deer herds, Utah established a $50 coyote bounty. In Natrona County, Wyo., it's $20, set in November. In parts of North Carolina, $25. In 2011, Grundy County, Ill., approved a $15 coyote bounty, Chippewa County, Minn., a $10 bounty, and Halifax County, Va., $25.
Meanwhile in California, under political pressure, the DFW canceled a science-based clinic.

Your Written Exam: How To Think Like A Cop
Sergeant George Gody
Preparation for judgment/situational test questions on the police written test may seem daunting, but in reality, you need to capture only one thing — the mindset of a police officer.
Thinking like a police officer is not simple, yet the elements that make up a police officers mindset are simple, straightforward and support effective, correct actions and decisions in situational dilemmas.
Preparing yourself to view situational questions with the mindset of a police officer involves establishing a solid analytical foundation based on three fundamentals:
1. Common Sense
2. Police Priorities
3. Police Hierarchies
When these fundamentals are combined and applied to police situational questions, they become a single, skilled viewpoint that ensures the most effective and equitable actions and decisions. Using these fundamentals as your primary information filters; you can approach any situational problem and determine an effective and appropriate course of action.
Common sense is knowledge acquired through trial and error, experience and commonly accepted animate and inanimate behaviors, and the laws of physics.
For example: Is it safer to talk to someone involved in an auto accident in the street or on the sidewalk? Common sense indicates: Sidewalk. If you were knocking on someone's door, would you stand in front of the door or off to the side? Common sense indicates: Side. If you're pursuing a traffic violator at a high rate of speed through downtown traffic, do you continue the pursuit or let him go? Common sense indicates: Let Him Go. The risk of injuring innocent people is too high versus upholding the law by stopping a traffic violator.
Another example: What would you do if you saw a naked man walking down the street with only a cell phone in his hand? Arrest him? If so, on what charge? You should first ask questions and determine what happened. He may be a victim of a crime, so don't jump to conclusions.
In police work, and in police situational test questions, using common sense to evaluate the situation means basing actions and decisions on knowledge that is generally common to everyone, but is occurring in a situation that involves a need for police action.
Common sense should temper your reactions, allowing you to control the urge to jump to conclusions before gaining all the available facts. Often the set of circumstances seen at first glance seems to warrant a certain conclusion, however, common sense allows us to see where circumstances simply could not coexist in certain situational conflicts.
Police Priorities are defined by each law enforcement department in particular, but can also be identified in general for the purposes of preparing for police situational test questions.
Assessing a situation and the information pertaining to it requires relying on your common sense and using Police Priorities to determine the most effective, appropriate course of action.

Yellow House, Blue Sea
This new Swedish summer home has been built using traditional construction methods, but here and there the two architects have added more modern features, such as in the living room shown here. Pivoting steel lacquered windows, slightly larger than the traditional windows, allow more light in while still preserving heat. The simple white colour scheme is enlivened with touches of colour from a red lampshade and ottoman. The barbed wire chandelier is by Tove Adman, and the lacquered metal chair is by Jasper Morrison. At the far left can be seen the large contemporary fireplace in grey stone.
In the simply furnished parents' bedroom, the mobile suspended above the bed adds a touch of colour. Texture provides additional visual interest, seen in details such as the bedside table, a traditional Swedish basket made from woven birch slats.
Overlooking the living area is the kitchen, where owner Nils Tunebjer prepares breakfast for the family with the help of his daughter. A hanging pleated lampshade and a red wool carpet add a warm note.
Streamlined and functional, the bathroom, lined floor to ceiling with grey sandstone mosaic tiles, is spacious and well lit by large windows. A partial wall protects the rest of the bathroom from stray tub splashes.
The design of this charming Swedish summer home -- by the architects Thomas Sandell and Anders Landstrom -- was based on the classic wooden house of Scandinavian architecture. Built according to traditional methods of construction, its roughly squared logs were slotted together by tenon and mortise joints -- not a nail or screw was used in the entire house. Because this was the prototype house of a firm of architects, Nils Tunebjer, the proud owner of this house, actually bought it at auction! He then had to dismantle and store it (a feature of these traditional wood houses is that they can be dismantled and lifted easily) while he searched for an appropriate piece of land to install his new home. Now settled happily into its permanent locale overlooking the sea, this lovely home is a relaxed place to while away the long Swedish summers. Via Marie Claire Maison.

PROPHETSTOWN – For a month, there's been a pile of rubble where eight buildings once stood in downtown Prophetstown.
Soon, that rubble will start being removed. It's a process that could take about 3 weeks, Mayor Steve Swanson said, and it's just another in a long list of steps the town must take in the process of rebuilding nearly a quarter of its historic downtown.
On the morning of July 15, paper inside a recycling bin behind Cindy Jean's Restaurant, 324 Washington St., was set on fire. By 4:50 a.m., just 2 hours later, the Prophetstown water tower was down to only 10 feet of water. Fire crews, from an estimated 30 departments, started trucking in water and pumping it from the Rock River.
There were no injuries reported, but about a half dozen residents had been displaced and eight buildings, including the Prophetstown Historical Society, had what was left of them knocked down for safety reasons.
Two brothers, 16 and 12, were arrested July 16 and charged with residential arson, arson, and criminal damage to property, all felonies. The boys are due back in court for their next hearing Tuesday.
The Rev. Cheri Stewart, of Prophetstown United Methodist Church, 200 W. Second St., who led a July 17 prayer vigil, said there's a sense of forgiveness in the town.
"I don't hear this: 'Those kids, they have to pay,'" she said. "I'm hearing the opposite. I'm hearing people hoping this can turn these kids' lives around."
That day, and the days that followed, the town started to put itself together and plan for how it would rebuild. There were prayers and fundraisers and support. The town started the healing process and now is closer to the rebuilding process.
"The grieving process is over – similar to a death, I suppose," Swanson said. "The process is over. Now it starts moving ahead. To go on."
The first physical step to rebuilding the affected portion of downtown could begin Aug. 27, when Fischer Excavating of Freeport starts to clear the rubble that's stood as a reminder of the fire. It could take 3 weeks to complete, Swanson said.
The town wants to rebuild, and it wants to do it fast, that much is clear. But it won't be a quick process, and the community leaders know that. The town may not even have enough cash upfront to pay for the rubble removal.
Fischer's bid was for $207,306.23 – but the building owners' insurance policies might not cover the cost, Swanson said. So to help, there's been a fund set up at Farmers National Bank and at IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union. The "Rebuild Prophetstown Strong" fund.
Eileen Detra, executive director of Prophetstown Main Street, said the town is moving as fast as it can and its remaining businesses, much like its residents, are moving on.
"We're here. We want people to know that there are still stores open," she said. "The rest of the stores are in business and ready to serve people, and we don't want people to forget that."
But the question of what will replace the old businesses if some of the owners choose not to rebuild is never far from the minds of the Prophetstown residents. Everyone has his or her opinion, community leaders said, but there needs to be a consensus before planning can begin.
Detra said the town's Economic Development Committee will meet at the end of August to discuss grants or loans for the rebuilding process.
"There's still so many things that we can't do [yet]," she said.
The town also is presented with an opportunity to set the downtown up for success in the future, said Dr. Norman Walzer, a senior research scholar at Northern Illinois University's Center for Governmental Studies.
"Think through how do you rebuild," Walzer said. "Do you really want to rebuild to July 15, 2013? Or do you really want to rebuild to a place that's exciting in 2020?"
Getting control of the properties under a unified body, likely the town, is an important step, Walzer said. When rebuilding, the town also should consider a nontraditional, tourist- and youth-focused approach.
That approach, Walzer and NIU Reseach Associate Mim Evans said, worked in Genoa, after several downtown buildings went vacant during the recession.
"What we found, and I think it'll be true of Prophetstown, when you do things in a traditional way, you find that everyone is doing the same thing," Evans said. "There is no competitive advantage. Businesses have anywhere they can go. You're just one of the crowd."
Evans helped Genoa introduce a small business incubator program downtown. After the first year, a second incubator opened and there are plans for a third, she said.
At one point, she said, the town's main street didn't have any vacancies, after having about six before the program started. The incubators became a marketing tool to attract new businesses.
"You have to make them think that your town is the place to be," Evans said. "If you want to start a business, this is the place to be. You have to be the place that rises to the top of the list."
Bob Vaughn owns and is renovating four buildings in Morrison, all built between 1880 to 1900, he said. Creating a viable economic environment, having patience and maintaining a unified downtown feel are key, he said – especially the patience.
"You need to morph that into scheduling and phases of projects," he said. "There's always folks on the sidewalk saying that you aren't doing anything."
But much of the work goes unseen, he said, and involves finding out what the foundation and the ground can support. Bringing in experts to find potential problems, he added, will pay for itself in the long run.
"I would not look at it as a barren form of land," Vaughn said of Prophetstown's downtown. "I would look at it as what the bigger picture is."
Stewart is confident that that bigger picture will start to take shape, and the town, which she said has rallied, will move on.
"With the can-do spirit of this community, it's only going to be a temporary roadblock," she said. "It's only going to be temporary."
You can help
Several efforts have begun to help victims of the July 15 fire:
– Prophetstown has set up a fund, "Main Street Fire Victims," to help people start to rebuild their lives. Donations can be made at any of the three Farmers National Bank branches, in Prophetstown, Geneseo and Morrison.
– Prophetstown has set up a fund, "Rebuild Prophetstown Strong," to help clean up and rebuild the downtown. Donations can be made at Farmers National Bank branches, in Prophetstown, Geneseo and Morrison, as well as IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union locations.
– Cragel's, 345 Washington St. will host a fundraiser from 4 to 8 p.m. Aug. 24, featuring a 50/50 raffle, a silent auction and guest bartenders, including first responders and Mayor Steve Swanson, organizer Julie Pope said. Proceeds will be donated to the "Main Street Fire Victims" fund. For more information or to make donations, call Pope at 815-632-7806 or Muck Meier at 815-590-7756.
– Tampico residents Kate Fisk and Jamie Mosher are selling "Support Prophetstown" T-shirts for $15 or $17, depending on size, and hoodies for $30. According to a Facebook account, money raised will go to support victims of the fire. Orders can be dropped off at the following locations: Prophetstown Park District, 410 W. Riverside Drive; Kickback Saloon, 102 N. Main St. in Tampico; and Adami Insurance, 712 First Ave. in Rock Falls. To order or get more information, call 815-766-0732 or 815-499-4160.
– Prophetstown resident Sena Warkins, owner of Imprintable Memories in Rock Falls and niece of the owner of D's Variety, which burned in the fire, is selling "We will rebuild" T-shirts for $20. The shirts feature a collage of color photos of the fire and the downtown buildings. Warkins is also selling coasters and mouse pads. Money raised will go to help rebuild the community. Orders can be made by calling Warkins at 815-535-0931 or 815-499-0201.

Student under fire for yelling:
'Remember Chappaquiddick!'
Self-described liberal hollers phrase as Kennedy begins on-campus speech
A community college student in Massachusetts faces possible disciplinary action for shouting "Remember Chappaquiddick!" during an on-campus speech by Democrat Sen. Edward Kennedy yesterday.
Paul Trost, 20, a student at Massasoit Community College in Brockton, Mass., says he was upset by an introduction of Kennedy given by Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., in which the congressman noted how the long-time senator overcame hardship in life on his way to success.
Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.
"Lynch said Kennedy had overcome such adversity to get to the place he was, and that's a bunch of bull," Trost said of the introduction, which occurred in the school's student center yesterday morning.
Just as Kennedy began speaking, Trost was walking out of the room when he shouted, "Remember Chappaquiddick!"
"Most of the crowd gasped," Trost said. "Then I walked out of the student center."
The student says a campus police officer went outside and stopped him. He also saw some state troopers go outside, the type who accompany Kennedy around the state to provide security.
Trost says the cop took down his information and told him he would be hearing from school officials about disciplinary action. A spokesman with the campus police verified the incident but stressed that Trost was not arrested.
The student said one of his teachers confronted him after a class about the Chappaquiddick issue.
"One of my teachers called me ignorant and told me this was an embarrassment to the school," Trost told WND. "She said to me, 'Can't you forgive him after all these years?' And I said, 'No, he killed somebody.'
"If it had been me or any other person, we'd be in jail," Trost says he told his instructor.
Referring to his two-word shout, Trost said, "I did it because I know about Kennedy's past. I know what happened at Chappaquiddick.
"I wanted to send a message to him that my generation still knows about it. We haven't forgotten about it."
Mary Jo Kopechne
Trost said he was satisfied to know that students on campus were talking about the Chappaquiddick incident later in the day – some of whom, in fact, were not familiar with it.
In 1969, Kennedy was driving a car that went off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island, off the coast of Martha's Vineyard, Mass. His passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, was killed after the car landed upside down in the water. No autopsy was ever performed to determine her exact cause of death.
At the time, Kennedy claimed he tried several times to swim down to reach Kopechne to no avail. He came under fire for not reporting the incident to authorities until the next morning. In the interim he reportedly made an effort to call a family legal adviser.
"I haven't yet found out what's going to happen to me," Trost said, referring to the warning from campus police.
Trost, a liberal arts major who has protested the Iraq war, says he's not a right-winger.
"I tend to have what would be considered liberal views," he explained, "but I go with whatever I think is right."
"I don't regret what I did," Trost said. "And if they ask me to apologize, I won't do it."
Trost's father, Edward, who calls himself a conservative, says he's proud of his son.
"He didn't do it to be obnoxious," Edward Trost said. "He was really offended."
Today is Kennedy's birthday, as he turns 74.

text: The skepticism attached to beer cocktails can be summarized with one question: Who has ever walked into a bar and in that moment when he can choose anything said, "barkeep, what beer cocktails can you make me?" Sure, okay. If that's the situation you want to envision the outcome will almost always be a bottle of beer, a glass of wine, a two-ingredient mixed drink, or maybe a selection from the menu of classic cocktails. Personally, I like beer cocktails – my cookbook has a chapter of recipes to make them – and I would like to see them made more often, but I will admit that I don't know how popular they actually are.

Accrington have re-signed goalkeeper Paul Rachubka on loan from Leeds until the end of the season.
The 31-year-old former Blackpool and Huddersfield shot-stopper made six appearances for Stanley in a loan spell before Christmas that was cut short by a red card in the 1-1 npower League Two draw with Plymouth.
"I'm just glad it's all sorted now and I can concentrate on the football," said Rachubka, who will be available to face Port Vale on Saturday, subject to Football League approval.
"It's been a long couple of weeks and the weather hasn't helped and I just want to get back playing and back into the routine of being involved in first-team football.
"All the lads have welcomed me back and it's been great. You know what you're dealing with and there's no settling in to do."
In the weeks following Rachubka's initial return to Elland Road, Bury's Cameron Belford has made five starts for the Reds having penned a succession of emergency loan deals.
First-choice goalkeeper Ian Dunbavin is out for the season with a shoulder injury.

NBC is cutting the commercial clutter during "Saturday Night Live."
Just two weeks before NBC starts selling ad time for the 2016-17 season, the network announced Monday that the legendary late-night sketch program will have two fewer national commercial breaks starting this season, its 42nd.
"As the decades have gone by, commercial time has grown," the show's creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels said in a statement. "This will give time back to the show to make it easier to watch the show live."
"Saturday Night Live" runs 93 minutes. About one-third of that is devoted to national and local...

What should I do if my TV will not turn on and the power indicator LED is not flashing?Follow these troubleshooting steps:
- Make sure your TV's power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet.
- Make sure the electrical outlet the TV is plugged into has power by testing known working device in that outlet.

(Updates with Rio mine investment in fifth paragraph.)
--With assistance from Elisabeth Behrmann in Sydney and Michael Kohn in Singapore. Editors: Peter Langan, Todd White
(Updates with Rio mine investment in fifth paragraph.)
Feb. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Sapaar is 23 and he's a "ninja" miner, hauling low-quality coal from a pit in the Mongolian steppes for 12 hours a day.
Sapaar's coal is not the steel-making variety the bigger mines export to China, a trade that helped the economy expand a world-beating 17.3 percent in 2011. The boom brought luxury retailers such as LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA to Ulan Bator, Mongolia's capital, to sell $4,500 handbags. Sapaar doesn't shop there.
As companies such as Rio Tinto Group, Mongolia's biggest investor; Peabody Energy Corp.; and Mitsui & Co. plan to keep the momentum going by exporting more of the country's $1.3 trillion trove of resources, about a fifth of the population of 3 million are getting by on $1.25 a day.
The explosive growth of Mongolia in just 10 years makes for a sharp disconnect between French handbag boutiques and hand- digging coal out of frozen rock. That's raising warnings of public unrest and driving controversial renegotiation of mining deals by the government to keep a larger share of profit at home.
Rio Tinto's $6.2 billion investment in the first phase of the Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold mine in Mongolia is the biggest test case and tensions are rising.
Most of Mongolia's population are unhappy with the big mining projects, said Dale Choi, an Ulan Bator-based associate with Origo Partners MGL, a private equity investment firm.
"Locals don't benefit from them directly," Choi said. "The country as a whole benefits, the tax revenue benefits, but the people don't feel it" and are getting more irate, he said.
'Minegolia' Nickname
The gold, copper and coal rush earned the nickname "Minegolia," made the landlocked nation China's top supplier of coking coal, and spawned sushi bars, $3,500-a-night hotel suites and Bayerische Motoren Werke AG car dealerships.
Meantime, Mongolians have flocked to Ulan Bator in search of work. About half the residents in the capital, which is home to almost 50 percent of the population, live in traditional huts known as gers without running water, and some without power. They burn coal in stoves for heat and cooking.
Mongolia's President Tsakhia Elbegdorj said his country should have more control of Rio's Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold mine in southern Mongolia, according to a statement on his website, referring to a discussion in parliament on Feb. 1.
"It's important that the government takes the Oyu Tolgoi matter into its own hands," Elbegdorj said.
Rio Considers Halt
Rio -- which owns 66 percent of Oyu Tolgoi, the world's biggest copper mine under construction, and Mongolia the rest -- is considering a temporary halt to work on the mine to protest government demands, two people familiar with the plans said last week.
On at least two previous occasions in the last 18 months, the government has requested Rio renegotiate the terms of Oyu Tolgoi. The miner refused.
"We continue to work together with all stakeholders, including the government of Mongolia, to bring the benefits of Oyu Tolgoi to all parties," Rio Tinto said yesterday in an e- mailed response to questions. "We are now focused on first commercial production. We are on schedule to deliver that in the first half of this year."
Although it's not an industrial hub, Ulan Bator "is among the cities with the worst air quality in the world," according to a 2011 report by the World Bank that cites pollution from the ger stoves.
The circumstances have the elements for a public revolt along the lines of the "Arab Spring" in the Middle East, said Jack Weatherford, an author and anthropologist who has split his life between the U.S. and Mongolia for the last 17 years.
Property Ownership Alien
Mongolia's broader public isn't feeling the benefits of mining investment, said Weatherford, a professor at Macalester College, Minnesota, before he retired.
"People are not convinced it's going to help the country to develop," as concepts such as property ownership and land exploitation rights are literally foreign, said Weatherford, best-selling author of "Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World."
"If they themselves have no tradition of owning the land, how do foreigners get to come in and own it?" Weatherford said. "Mongolians go so far and then they stand up and fight."
Protests over the results of the 2008 parliamentary elections killed at least five people and the government invoked a four-day state of emergency.
Moving Goalposts
Mindful of growing public disquiet, the government has delayed a decision on which overseas companies will develop Mongolia's biggest coal field. It has also proposed mining laws to give the public a broader say.
A draft of the laws released in December would give even villagers power to block exploration by miners in their areas, according to Choi of Origo Partners. That will make it tough for all but the largest to operate in the country, he said.
Rio Tinto's Oyu Tolgoi mine, due to start up this year, will account for 30 percent of the nation's gross domestic product once in full production. The deal took six years to complete with Mongolia's government.
The Oyu Tolgoi accord is good for Mongolia and good for Rio, Chief Executive Officer Tom Albanese said Nov. 28, almost two months before he quit following $14 billion of writedowns in failed deals in aluminum and coal.
Disputed Billionaires
Investment has been good for some Mongolians. Odjargal Jambaljamts is chairman of Mongolian Mining Corp. and was the country's richest man with a net worth of $2.3 billion in 2011, according to rankings by local publication Hero magazine.
Hero is "not accurate and not based on grounded information," said Mongolia Mining spokeswoman Ariunaa Baldandorj. Rich lists compiled by U.S. media rely on facts and surveys, while local rankings are "mostly speculative," she said.
Former Prime Minister Batbold Sukhbaatar is fifth on Hero's list with $1 billion from stakes in Altai Holdings LLC, which runs hotels, supermarkets and cashmere outlets. Number eight is current Foreign Minister Bold Luvsanvandan with $800 million from Bodi Group, which spans banking, real estate, media and property development.
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokeswoman said she couldn't comment on the rich-list rankings. Two phone calls made to the mobile phone of Batbold weren't answered. Questions e-mailed to Altai Holdings, Bodi Group and Batbold's personal website didn't receive a reply.
Coal Pit
While Hero ranked politicians among the wealthiest, the fortunes of some have unraveled in the last year under the administration of Elbegdorj. Former President Nambaryn Enkhbayar was jailed for corruption along with D. Batkhuyag, the former chairman of Mongolia's mineral resources authority.
Back at Sapaar's pit, which is about 40-meters (131 feet) deep and has a one-meter-diameter entrance, his partner is at the bottom shoveling coal into 25-liter plastic containers. There's a tug on the rope and Sapaar winches in the haul.
The pit is one of dozens on the steppe outside of Nailakh, a town on the outskirts of Ulan Bator where coal mining started less than a century ago.
Sapaar and his partner pick a spot, mine it every day, not stopping for holidays or the minus 30-degree Celsius (minus 22 degrees Fahrenheit) winter freeze, and when it's exhausted, move on.
Ordinary People
"Well, this is what we do," Sapaar said, his smile revealing a slash of white teeth against his coal-blackened shirt. "At least in winter being down there is warm. I know it's dangerous. There are no other jobs."
Mongolia may have between 60,000 and 100,000 subsistence miners, according to Patience Singo, manager of the Swiss state- funded SAM project that aids the workers. The figures are from the World Bank and government surveys, he said.
Sapaar's coal travels 40 kilometers to Ulan Bator, where one customer, 50-year-old librarian Ganbaatar, uses it in a stove to heat his ger. Like many Mongolians, Ganbaatar goes by one name.
"Mongolia's economy has grown a lot in the last few years, but it hasn't touched the roots of the lives of ordinary people," Ganbaatar said. "It benefits top business owners and politicians."
Mongolia's resource boom has made little difference to unemployment figures over the last decade, according to a November report by the International Monetary Fund. Unemployment was at 9 percent at the end of 2011, according to a World Bank report in June, based on informal labor surveys. Government figures put it at 4.4 percent in March 2012.
In 2011 the number of people living in poverty shrunk to 30 percent from 40 percent the prior year, but that was mainly due to state cash handouts, the IMF said.
Life & Death
After a string of mine accidents a few years ago, the pits where Sapaar digs were closed by the authorities, which drove up coal prices in the capital, said Singo at the SAM project. The authorities soon allowed mining to resume.
Sapaar's coal output doesn't register in Mongolia's gross domestic product, yet to ger dwellers like Ganbaatar in Ulan Bator, it's the difference between life and a freezing death as annual temperatures average below zero degrees Celsius, the world's coldest for a capital city.
A cluster of five-star hotels and the all-glass Blue Sky Tower on the edge of Ulan Bator's central square suggest the city is setting its sights on becoming the next Asian business hub in the mold of Hong Kong or Singapore.
An office block and mall with boutiques selling Montblanc, Ermenegildo Zegna, and Hugo Boss has opened opposite the Mongolian Stock Exchange and close to the government palace.
Ulan Island
The transformation is all in central Ulan Bator, said Weatherford.
"Today, it's the island of Ulan Bator down here and then there's Mongolia," Weatherford said. The growing wealth gap adds to potential for public unrest, he said.
"Mongolians have completely overthrown the past and wiped out the elite," Weatherford said. "These things have happened before."
In the 1930s, when under Soviet rule and acting on Kremlin instructions, Mongolia's Communists sought out descendants of Genghis Khan and executed them, with the final purges cutting the population by about 10 percent, Weatherford said.
"This country idolizes Khan," he said. "Yet they killed every one of his descendants."
Mongolia's transformation into a democracy starting in 1990 from a Soviet satellite state began a period when those who understood mining and business could build fortunes.
Pothole Point
In 1990 there were about 450 cars in Mongolia, Weatherford said. Now, Ulan Bator alone adds 35,000 vehicles each year, the local government said in a February 2012 report. The city may have more than 210,000 cars, according to official estimates.
On weekends, Ganbaatar the librarian says he watches black SUVs zoom by on the road through his district, No. 16. The road leads to an area known as the valley of the villas where the new rich go for rest and recreation.
The road's two crumbling, potholed lanes intersect newly painted facades of roadside buildings, beyond which the district is made up of gers and wooden huts.
"This is a main road and everyone uses it, but it doesn't get fixed," Ganbaatar said. "I look at them and think: 'If you can't fix the main road, you're never going to fix the side streets and beyond.'"
When it rains in Ganbaatar's district, roads between the nomad huts turn to mud. There is no garbage collection, no sewage treatment, and no hot water, he said.
The air pollution in Ulan Bator from coal-burning stoves causes respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and annual associated health costs have reached $727 million, according to the World Bank. Mongolia's economy is worth about $10 billion.
Roy Orbison
Mortality rates from pollution in ger districts are as much as 45 percent higher than if the air quality met national standards, according to the bank. Ambient annual average particulate matter in the city is six to seven times higher than World Health Organization standards and is worse than in China, the bank said.
The World Bank started the Ulan Bator Clean Air Project to distribute more efficient, clean burning stoves to ger families. Ganbaatar said he threw his new stove away because it didn't properly burn the coal he buys.
In the town of Nailakh near the ninja mines, pensioner Puruvdorj, 73, sits on a bench in a tree-lined alley opposite the statue of communist-era workers' hero D. Davaajav.
Dressed in a navy blue track suit, slippers and playing with his granddaughter, his sunglasses give him a look like Roy Orbison with a crew-cut.
Rivers of Alcohol
Puruvdorj says he's lost faith in government because he's seen no improvement in Nailakh over the last 10 years no matter who was in power. The town, where most make a living in subsistence mining, needs new equipment as the coal reserves close to the surface are being exhausted.
Instead, the government sends cash handouts, which has only encouraged more bars and karaoke parlors, he said.
"There are rivers of alcohol, but no real development."
Subsistence mining in Mongolia is a job of last resort, said Michael Priester, who's been involved in the country for seven years as head of mineral resources at Projekt-Consult GmbH, a German corporate and government advisory business.
When extreme cold in the early 2000s killed off livestock, many herders either moved to Ulan Bator to find work or took up shovels to dig for coal, gold, and other minerals, he said.
Ninja Thousands
"It's for people who don't have other economic opportunities," Priester said. Subsistence mining is practiced in Africa, South America, and other places and may involve as many as 10 million to 13 million people globally, far more than the professional mining industry, he said.
Mongolia's subsistence miners got the nickname "ninja" in the early 2000s. The gold miners carried blue-green plastic washpans slung across their backs and looked like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters in the movie, Priester said.
Ninja miners outnumber those working in large mines two-to- one and operate in 18 of Mongolia's 21 provinces, the United Nations said in a June 2012 report. Given that they spend their earnings locally and support their families, they are estimated to support 13 percent of the national population, the UN said.
In rural Mongolia, subsistence miners account for a fifth of the economy, earning an average of $176 a month, or 57 percent more than the country's minimum wage, according to the UN.
No Ladder
Still, ninja mining is a one-way street that doesn't lead to better jobs with bigger companies that rely on machinery for mining, Singo, a mining engineer and a Zimbabwe native, said.
"Most of them don't have the necessary skills to switch over," he said.
Developing an industrial economy is problematic in other ways. The ideas of land ownership and exploitation of what lies beneath it are new concepts in Mongolian culture, according to anthropologist Weatherford. So is selling those commodities to China, a neighbor many Mongolians openly dislike, he said.
The issue came to a head in April last year when state-run Aluminum Corp. of China Ltd. offered to buy Mongolia's coal producer SouthGobi Resources Ltd. from Ivanhoe Mines Ltd., a Canadian entity now under Rio Tinto control.
'Just Shocked'
"They were just shocked how a foreign country can own something in Mongolia and then without asking the Mongolian people can sell it to another foreign country," Weatherford said. "In this case, because it was a Chinese corporation, it just heightened it."
What the China bid succeeded in doing was uniting rival lawmakers in Mongolia to draw up and pass in two months the Strategic Entities Foreign Investment Law, which scuttled the takeover. Aluminum Corp. gave up on the bid in September.
In June 2012 elections, the public voted in the Democratic Party on policies that included a fairer distribution of wealth, ousting former communists now known as the Mongolian People's Party.
"Our party's goal is to enable every citizen to take part in economic development," Foreign Minister Bold said in an interview in Tokyo on Oct. 2.
The Democratic Party wants shares of state companies that own Mongolia's main mineral deposits to be distributed to all citizens, Bold said.
As Mongolians become owners of their land and resources, there will be motivation in supporting the country's industrial and mining development, and with it foreign investors, Bold said. "It'll change Mongolia dramatically."
