The target countries of SwitchMed are Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine and Tunisia.
Approved for funding by the EU Commission in August 2015, the PROFIT project will develop an online platform for enhancing financial literacy among EU citizens and devising innovative solutions to financial crises. The project aims at developing a novel, knowledge-aware platform to ensure informed financial decision-making based on mining knowledge from multi-source, multidisciplinary, and heterogeneous groups and ‘crowds’. Using wide information monitoring, cognitive information refining, suitable presentation methods such as voting and visualization trend extraction in conjunction with advanced financial forecasting models, PROFIT endeavours to form a robust financial awareness platform where user entities will be acquainted to financial terms, and gain knowledge regarding financial trends.
Approved for funding in August 2014, implemented from September 2014 to September 2015, the 3E4SE project is now concluded. The project aimed at establishing and testing a strategy for cooperation between public funds and ethical and alternative or cooperative funds for the development of specific local/regional financial tools supporting social enterprises. FEBEA participated to the project with two of its members: Banca Etica and Ekobanken. SEFEA sc presented the project as Leader partner.
As a result, FEBEA, along with the other EU-level partners (SEFEA, REVES, ENSIE with FAEDEI, DIESIS, IMPULSE EU), signed a Memorandum to create a European platform committed to promoting the development of regional partnerships, combining private and public funds for the development of financial instruments in order to promote the local social economy, thanks to the tools elaborated during the project. Banca Etica and Ekobanken, along with local partners and stakeholders in Puglia (Confcooperative Puglia) and VastraGotaland Region (VG Region, Coompanion, Mikrofonded, City of Goteborg, BRG) signed a specific local memorandum for the setting up of a financial instrument dedicated to the social economy sector.

In discussing Tabung Haji prospects, it would be useful to first analyze the future directions of Islamic financial system in Malaysia and its readiness in meeting future challenges.
It is important to note that the world economy is witnessing radical transformation particularly in the last two decades. Geographical and cultural boundaries have increasingly been broken down with the advent of efficient communication, Internet and satellite. Rapid economic and financial changes all around can easily render yesterday’s winning business strategies obsolete. Even successful companies like ibm and General Motors have discovered that they can lose significant market share if they do not respond to fast changing business environment.
Progress in telecommunication has been the driving force in creating a huge global business landscape. Bankers, particularly Islamic bankers should take cognizance of this important development to strategize and position themselves. The notion that banks merely act as financial intermediaries between the ultimate savers, the households and the ultimate investors, the firms may no longer hold ground. Today, institutions that acquire telecommunication technology are able to encroach into the financial sector by their ability to offer products similar to banking products. It is only the state of readiness to manage the forces of competition that can ensure relevance of each individual institution, whereby in the long run, the regulatory environment which has long protected the encroachment of competition, both globally and domestically, may have to be prudently dismantled. On the other hand, technology-driven domestic banks can tap the vast opportunities in the huge global banking landscape.
To cope with increased competition, Islamic financial institutions should take advantage of the advancement of high technology in the conduct of their business. Notwithstanding the desire to be high-tech driven, they should not, however ignore the other important aspect of banking i.e. The “high-touch” aspect. This refers to the importance of being customer-oriented and customer driven in all their operations. Too many Islamic banks still design their products without customer input, only to find them rejected in the marketplace. And too many Islamic banks did not focus on consumer services, only to lose them to those who are consumer-driven.
Islamic financial institutions cannot be a passive spectator of these profound changes. Islamic financial institutions have to prepare themselves to play a more meaningful role and contribute significantly to enhance the economic wealth. Establishing an Islamic financial institution is already a no mean feat. But to sustain its commercial role in a competitive financial landscape is more challenging and daunting. One cannot afford to remain complacent. Islamic financial institutions are lagging far behind the level necessary to enable them to thrive and compete effectively in a freely competitive global environment.
Financial services, particularly banking are by nature long-haul business. Which is why there is a need for Islamic financial institutions to be adequately capitalized. An Islamic financial institution with a sound capital is able to assume greater risk and is, therefore, likely to be more willing to expand its operations and venture into new business. In view of the changing nature of financial services and the fast evolving financial landscape, size is increasingly important to compete in today’s financial world. Only large and strong Islamic financial institutions will have the capacity and ability to avail themselves of the opportunities. The future success of Islamic banking rests on the ability of this emerging sector to position itself strategically to overcome future challenges. The increasing globalization of the financial system and the prospects of further liberalization of the banking system in the time to come, both domestically and regionally, would pose challenges not only to conventional banking institutions, but also to Islamic banking.
Although size is important, but one should not ignore the other important aspect of banking, i.e. the need for an abundance of intellectual capital. Islamic banking lagged behind conventional banking and therefore has a lot catching up to do. Indeed the future of Islamic banking depends a lot on the capacity and ability of Islamic bankers to generate creative ideas and innovative products in order to convince the banking public that Islamic banking is at par if not better than the traditional banking. There is no substitute to this.
It is now commonly known that at the international level, Islamic syndication’s based on ijarah usually used the libor as the benchmark to price the product. It would be more meaningful if Islamic banks could come up and design their own reference rate rather than libor, so that Islamic banks can have their own benchmark in the pricing of its products. Relying on libor as the one and only reference rate without exploring into other Islamically-acceptable benchmarks would only prove lack of creativity and will-power. Therefore, creating an international benchmark for pricing of Islamic products is an urgent task and thus, it is timely for Islamic bankers to explore this proposition and give it the necessary attention. Malaysia is embarking on this project to establish a domestic Islamic reference rate which would serve as an indicator for investors to manage and plan their investments and for Islamic financial institutions to price their products. Unlike conventional benchmarks, which are cost-driven, the derivation of the reference rate would be sourced from the profitability trends of the spi banks.
It is time for Islamic banks to generate practical and implementable action plan that can elevate the standards of Islamic banking in the international market place. There is need for greater efforts and more effective means of networking to strengthen the relationship among Islamic banks. Strategic alliance arrangement and smart partnerships are some of the approaches that Islamic banks should seriously explore into.
Islamic banking has a bigger agenda than just providing alternative banking system to the Muslim community. It has to show that it has the dynamism and sophistication to strive for the betterment of the society, to address the ills of the nation and overcome economic imbalances. Co-operation among Islamic banks should not rest merely on operational and product development issues, but Islamic bankers should devise long-term strategies on ways and approaches to elevate the position of Islamic banking to greater heights.
Finally, the international Islamic financial system must be properly planned from now. The players must be identified, the products must be made available and the international Islamic Money Market must be in place. The institutions that shape up the financial system must be made aware of their role in the establishment of an international Islamic financial system. The next stage then is to capitalize and maximize on each others’ strengths so that Islamic banking and finance will not only prosper to benefit the Muslims but also contribute to the world as a whole. Perhaps the Islamic Development Bank and some of the international Islamic financial institutions should begin to explore the need to have at least a more structured although informal international Islamic financial system. The idea needs to be transformed into reality as early as possible.

Electric cars may not be commercially available yet in the US, and aren't expected to be widely available much before 2012, but when they are the San Francisco Bay Area will be ready.
Palo Alto-based Better Place has announced that it plans to begin setting up a network of electric car power stations in the Bay Area, to be ready by 2012. Coulomb Technologies has also announced that it will be building a network of 40 charging stations along California highways, beginning in 2009. But that's not all:Along with this, the mayors of San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland announced a nine-step policy plan which will, in the words of SF Mayor Gavin Newsom, "make the Bay Area—and eventually California—the electric vehicle capital of the US".
At the Better Place stations, electric car owners will be able to either swap out their run-down batteries for freshly charged ones (the process will be fully automated) or at other Charge Spot locations be able to top off their car's batteries while they shop.
The expected price tag of setting up this network: $1 billion.
Electric vehicle owners would be able to use these charging units under a subscription service.
The company is also setting up a demonstration project of five of the units in downtown San Jose next month.

Outrage is inevitable when "protecting our nation's children" turns into state-sponsored kidnapping and perversely unnecessary trauma to families who don't follow the rules.
Yesterday’s news story about the 10- and 6-year-old siblings who were picked up by police for walking alone in their Silver Spring, MD, neighborhood provides a scary glimpse into the state’s desire to impose its version of good parenting on all American families.
The two Meitiv siblings, who had already been picked up by police last December, are “free range kids,” which means that their parents have consciously chosen to let them explore and wander freely.
“This is a counterpoint to the hypervigilance of ‘helicopter parenting,’ with the idea that children learn self-reliance by being allowed to progressively test limits, make choices, and venture out into the world,” the Washington Post reported at the time.
This is not neglect. Free-range parents base the amount of freedom their children receive on how much responsibility they can handle. In the Meitiv case, the children had a curfew and were expected home by 6:30 p.m., a reasonable hour when it’s still fully light outside. When they didn’t come home, the parents drove around the neighborhood frantically looking for them. They did were not notified of their children’s whereabouts until 8 p.m.
This is an outrageous and sickening abuse of power that really should be hitting the news as “Police kidnap children.” This is state-sponsored kidnapping. From what, exactly, were they intending to protect those children? The claim about a homeless man nearby is hardly substantial if all he was doing was looking at them. It appears more as if the police have been looking for an opportunity to harass this family, to the profound detriment of the children, who will likely be deeply affected by such a traumatizing incident.
How dare the state think that raising independent, self-reliant, and aware children is a crime? The way in which the majority of North American children are being raised nowadays – parked in front of screens for hours on end with minimal parental interaction and almost no time spent exploring outdoors – is what should be punished. Those are the truly irresponsible parents, who are unwilling to take the natural risks associated with raising well-rounded, confident individuals and who prefer to keep their children guarded, trapped, and fearfully indoors all the time.
If the police are so worried about the dangers of that particular neighborhood, then it appears they have their work cut out for them. How about addressing those issues, rather than wasting resources and time kidnapping other people’s children under the guise of protecting them?

Crystal and Energy Healing is a holistic therapy that treats the whole person, rather than individual symptoms. It can also be used as a complementary system of healing alongside both orthodox medicine and other complementary therapies.
Rather than treating the end result of an illness (the physical symptoms of our body), it instead deals with the original cause of why something has manifested, which can lie on an emotional, mental or sometimes spiritual level. All of this information is located in the subtle energy field which surrounds our body. By dealing with the original cause of an illness, a healing addresses why such symptoms would need to manifest in the first place.
A session takes place on a therapist’s couch. Jewellery and shoes need to be removed. A client’s energy field is then assessed, in order to evaluate which crystals are appropriate for the healing. Crystals may be placed on or around the body depending on what is needed. Healing energy is then channeled and is shaped, focussed or amplified by the crystals. Sound is also used during sessions as a sonic tool. This can be vocal sounds or sounding the Tibetan bowl.
During a session you could experience mild sensations such as a tingling, or sense of a breeze around you, or nothing at all. Sometimes after a treatment issues can intensify for a couple of days before they are released. Sessions last for an hour.
Crystal Healing sessions take place with Robert Burlinson from AIR at the Holistic Centre in Godalming. They cost £40.00. To book or for further information please fill in the form below.

Monkey has had eczema since he was 6 weeks old. He has now just turned 6 so I can totally relate to the consistency piece. It get so tiring for him, always having to be covered in cream. Laundry is so important and I found natural cotton too in the early years. Will look into this brand more as its not one Ive used.
Me and my daughter have mild eczema and we use a moisturiser regularly to keep it to a minimum.
Lots of cool baths and loads of lotion.
I always have Epaderm and piriton in the cupboards!
Aveeno cream twice a day.
Use a good nasal spray and wear wraparound sunglasses.
wear cotton and buy a decent slient fan!
Cotton sheets and clothing – always washed in soapods or ecoeggs or very gentle detergent.
Avoid outdoor activities from 10 am to 2 pm, when the sun is most intense. Also, it is usually the hottest time of the day.
I so badly need these!!
I use E45 cream – swear by it. It’s the only thing that works on the eczema on my hands!
Hydrocortisone cream 2.5% helps me in hot weather if used as a prevention measure.
Ooooh would be interested to try this !
Use a decent moisturiser aimed at eczema and sensitive skin. Use mild products in the shower so not to aggravate it.
Keep skin cool. Use a good cream.
moisturise regularly! I suffer from allergies and I find that a shower at the end of the night helps and I always keep anti histamines close by and use an eye mist to help with the itching!
I keep my fan on, use my creams more often and shower daily to soothe my skin.
Use household and bathing products with as few additives as possible – these products you have reviewed sound perfect.
Moisturise and try not to itch!!
The heat always trigger my eczema on my arms and back of my knees, the best thing I find is having cool baths and showers and products of any kind aggravate it more.
make sure my sons skin is well creamed and bath in the prescribed bath stuff we get from the doctors. this seems to help him and luckily hes been ok this hot summer.
We are clearly not the only family to dread the change in seasons. Our tip when the weather suddenly becomes very warm is to cool the worst affected area as much as can be stood. Works particularly well immediately before bed to numb the area to allow sleep.
My daughter only gets mild eczema so using a non bio detergent & natural mild skincare products is enough to keep it under control, how ever she does suffer badly from sun allergies & an allergy to sun lotion so when it hot out we have to find a balance between keeping her cool and keeping her covered.
Use lots of moisturisers and keep yourself cool.
My husband’s eczema on his arms is definitely worse in winter when the air is dry, but his feet get very dry in summer so I try to make sure he puts cream on his heels each night before he goes to bed.
I make sure all our bedding and bed clothes are 100% cotton.
Wearing cotton rather than synthetic fabrics seems to have a positive impact on sensitive skin so that would be my recommendation.
Wear cool cotton fabric garments, I remove labels & we use non-perfumed toiletries.
I put vaseline around my nostrils to catch the grass particles on their way up my nose and so therefore prevent hayfever, sneezing and red eyes.
My tip would be to moisturise and keep the fluid intake up.
If I’m having a flare I put the machine on for an extra rinse.

monkey has had eczema since he was 6 weeks old. he has now just turned 6 so i can totally relate to the consistency piece. it get so tiring for him, always having to be covered in cream. laundry is so important and i found natural cotton too in the early years. will look into this brand more as its not one ive used.
me and my daughter have mild eczema and we use a moisturiser regularly to keep it to a minimum.
lots of cool baths and loads of lotion.
i always have epaderm and piriton in the cupboards!
aveeno cream twice a day.
use a good nasal spray and wear wraparound sunglasses.
wear cotton and buy a decent slient fan!
cotton sheets and clothing – always washed in soapods or ecoeggs or very gentle detergent.
avoid outdoor activities from 10 am to 2 pm, when the sun is most intense. also, it is usually the hottest time of the day.
i so badly need these!!
i use e45 cream – swear by it. it’s the only thing that works on the eczema on my hands!
hydrocortisone cream 2.5% helps me in hot weather if used as a prevention measure.
ooooh would be interested to try this !
use a decent moisturiser aimed at eczema and sensitive skin. use mild products in the shower so not to aggravate it.
keep skin cool. use a good cream.
moisturise regularly! i suffer from allergies and i find that a shower at the end of the night helps and i always keep anti histamines close by and use an eye mist to help with the itching!
i keep my fan on, use my creams more often and shower daily to soothe my skin.
use household and bathing products with as few additives as possible – these products you have reviewed sound perfect.
