Has the euro been saved, then, after last week’s summit in Brussels?
The euro itself, that is the currency, has never been under threat. The risk was not to the stability of the single currency, but rather to the financial stability of the euro area owing to the fiscal problems in Greece. The euro is not in question: it is solid, strong and credible. The euro has kept its value for over 12 years. The European Central Bank (ECB) is an anchor of stability and confidence, which is very important, particularly in turbulent and difficult periods.
Yes, but aren’t the struggling countries in the euro area putting the single currency at risk?
The pressure observed on sovereign risks is not solely a European problem, it is also a global problem. The United States and Japan also have major fiscal problems, as you well know. The paradox is that, from a global perspective, the euro area is in a far better situation, with a consolidated fiscal deficit of around 4.5% of GDP this year, compared with approximately 10% of GDP for these other two countries. On the other hand, individual countries in Europe, in particular Greece, are in a much more difficult situation. All the decisions taken in Brussels by the Heads of State or Government are important for the financial stability of the euro area.
What part did the ECB play in the decisions taken in Brussels on 21 July?
In such circumstances, it is necessary to take a close look at the role of the central bank. We are responsible for ensuring that the currency, savings and purchasing power of 331 million citizens across 17 countries remain sound and stable. As you know, inflation hits hard on the poorest and most vulnerable among us. Our democracies entrusted us with this responsibility and we are living up it! Since the launch of the euro 12 years ago, we have achieved an average annual inflation rate of 1.97%, which is in line with our definition of price stability, i.e. below, but close to, 2%. Moreover, by being in charge of a single currency for 17 countries and 331 million citizens, the Central Bank has an overall view that enables it to convey messages to those taking government decisions, knowing of course, that they are in full control of their own decisions.
Was your participation in the meeting between Sarkozy and Merkel on 20 July in Berlin planned?
Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy invited me to join them at the Chancellery in Berlin. The Governing Council of the ECB advised me, in real time, that it would be useful if I accepted this invitation so that I could put across the views of the ECB.
Another €109 billion for Greece, after €110 billion last year. Do you believe that Europe is going to be able to raise such large sums of money for a single country just like that?
What matters above everything else – and it is absolutely essential – is that Greece regains control of its economic balances, that Greece itself implements the measures for restoring its budget, government accounts and competitiveness as quickly and as rigorously as possible. What matters is that it implements rigorous structural reforms and resolves to embark on a privatisation programme.
Last year, France raised €4 billion and after the summit in Brussels it is going to borrow an additional €15 billion between now and 2014 to the benefit of Greece. Are you sure that the French, who have their own problems, will accept this indefinitely?
Greece is committed to doing everything, and will do everything – under the strict surveillance of Europe, which is something we have always called for – to restore confidence, regain stability and pay back its loans from Europe. The Europeans are not subsidising Greece to never see their money again. They are investing in its recovery. Of course, they need to monitor their investment closely.
The 17 euro area countries have bought Greece some time, but that’s no guarantee that the country is going to accept the austerity measures being imposed on it.
We are not imposing “austerity” on Greece. Greece itself is correcting its years of mismanagement. Throughout the years in the run-up to the crisis, Greece continued to spend more than was coming in. Sound governance is the only way to once again achieve growth and job creation based on a newfound competitiveness.
Do you think that Greece’s membership of the euro area is partly to blame for its downfall? Despite the level of inflation in the country, Greece has been able to borrow at very low rates, thanks to the ECB. This gave rise to a credit bubble.
No, I don’t think so, because the euro area has only been in existence for just under 13 years, and prior to that, other countries, everywhere in the world, had experienced similar problems to those that Greece is experiencing today. Moreover, we are seeing today, unfortunately, that the issue of poor fiscal discipline is arising more often in developed countries, whereas before it was only an issue in developing countries – in Asia, Latin America or the Near East. Greece is a symbolic example of this turnaround.
And what is the reason for this turnaround?
The fact is that the monitoring of economic and fiscal policies in the euro area was not as good as it should have been. The ECB and the Banque de France – Christian Noyer and myself – have always said with regard to Europe that the Stability and Growth Pact was not an artificial creation conveying an ultra-orthodox view of the economy coming from across the Rhine. It was a fiscal framework that was absolutely necessary for a monetary union that had neither a federal government nor a federal budget. On behalf of the Governing Council, I publicly denounced the liberties that in 2004-05 Germany, France and other major countries wanted to take, and indeed took, in the form of a Stability and Growth Pact that was weakened both in letter and in spirit. We have constantly called for closer monitoring, not only of fiscal policies, but also of indicators of competitiveness and internal imbalances.
Today, in the light of the crisis, everyone can see that we were right.
Over the last few weeks, you have fought against the idea of asking the private sector (banks, insurance companies, funds, etc.) to incur losses to help Greece. It would seem that the Heads of State did not listen to you?
Once again, we have always said publicly that it is not the Central Bank that takes the decisions, but the governments themselves. With regard to private sector involvement and Greece, we have had three very clear messages. First, we said that any participation had to be voluntary. As far as this is concerned, our advice has been followed. Second, we said that it was necessary to avoid a “credit event”, and at the moment, it looks as though we have done so. Lastly, our third message was that a “selective default” should be avoided. However, in the event of such a default, governments would have to recapitalise the banks and provide credit enhancement for the collateral accepted by the ECB for its refinancing operations. We secured this guarantee which was essential to protecting the integrity of the ECB in the event of a “selective default”. It was essential for the ECB, and all the Eurosystem central banks in order to maintain stability and confidence in Europe. The protection of the integrity of the central bank is non-negotiable.
Following the summit in Brussels, the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) is to provide cheaper loans to programme countries and will also be able to purchase bonds and recapitalise struggling banks. With this, are we not getting sucked into in a costly and vicious circle?
We have advised governments to incorporate more leeway and flexibility into the EFSF – taking into account that we are experiencing exceptional circumstances since the onset of the worst crisis since the Second World War. A more versatile and flexible EFSF will be a more efficient tool for helping to ensure the financial stability of the euro area as a whole.
With regard to private sector involvement, the Heads of State have affirmed that these solutions would only be applied to Greece. Why the special treatment?
The credit worthiness of a country is absolutely essential. Whether you are a household, a company or a country, you will be granted loans on good terms if the lender is confident that he will be paid back. That’s why confidence is so important. The Heads of State or Government wanted to remove all ambiguity, and in their own words they said: “All other euro countries solemnly reaffirm their inflexible determination to honour fully their own individual sovereign signature. The euro area Heads of State or Government fully support this determination, as the credibility of all their sovereign signatures is a decisive element for ensuring financial stability in the euro area as a whole”. I could not have put it better myself.
Did you look into the possibility of Greece leaving the euro?
Not for a minute did anyone consider that option.
But what do you have to say to the many people who don’t believe that Greece will pull through unless its debt is drastically reduced?
The problem that Greece has is that it needs to return to a path of sound governance as quickly as possible, i.e. it needs to restore its budget to health, implement a rigorous privatization programme and carry out essential structural reforms. The proposals from the private sector and the decisions of the European governments, i.e. lowering interest rates and extending the duration of the loans, will ease Greece’s debt service burden considerably. Furthermore, the outstanding debt will decrease through bond swaps and debt buybacks. But what is important is that Greece carries out the adjustment itself, helped by this very important decrease of the yearly service of the debt.
After Brussels, will countries like Spain or Italy avoid the Greek contagion?
Without exception, every country is aware that it is experiencing an exceptional crisis. For example, the Italian government has just adopted a fiscal programme that will reduce its deficit to less than 3% from 2012. How many major developed countries, outside Europe, can say that? Spain has started to carry out ambitious reforms, as noted at the meeting on 21 July. The European Central Bank has called for all countries to strictly adhere to the letter and spirit of the Stability and Growth Pact, to strengthen competitiveness and, in particular, to monitor production costs and carry out the necessary structural reforms. That is the path to sustainable growth and job creation.
The crisis has been enlightening. Within the euro area, those countries that have been very attentive to their budget and their competitiveness, such as Germany or Austria, have succeeded in creating jobs and reducing unemployment, even during the crisis. The same applies to countries outside the euro area, for example Sweden, which has had much better results than any other country outside the euro area.
With each crisis, the usual suspects call for greater federalism in order to prevent the next crisis. This time, they want euro bonds and greater sharing of the debt burden. Is this a responsible and helpful response? And can we take steps towards federalism without asking the people for their opinion?
As you know, the summit in Brussels was not convened at all with the aim of causing institutional upheaval. That said, the view that Europeans need to reflect on their long-term vision of how they want European institutions to evolve is, for me, a valid one. The construction of Europe really started 60 years ago. Evidently, it has not yet been completed, and it is also very clear that it is up to our democracies to take the decisions and thus, ultimately, to the people of Europe to say what they want. Speaking as a European citizen, and not as the President of the ECB, I think that the Europeans will go on to invent in a long term prospective an entirely new type of confederation of sovereign states, which would not be a carbon copy of the United States of America.
We were sold the euro area as an area of prosperity and stability and instead we get austerity. Go figure!
Since the introduction of the single currency, the euro area has seen a growth rate per capita that, at around 1% a year, is comparable to that in the United States, and has created even more jobs: 14 million compared with 8 million in the USA. Not enough people know these facts and they do not receive sufficient attention. In addition, it was never claimed that the euro would do away with the need for good public finance management; indeed, we said precisely the opposite. The euro area is redressing its public finances, just as the United States and Japan must do, and as the United Kingdom has also started to do. Two things are certain. First, everywhere in the world, whenever budgets are managed carefully, the costs of production are controlled and the social partners act with prudence, the reward is growth and job creation, even after the worse crisis since 1945. Second, the euro area as a whole is faced with fewer problems than the United States or Japan, but it must take tremendous steps to strengthen its governance.
Is speculation the big bad wolf that will devour the euro?
The euro itself is not in question. The euro is a very credible currency that has done a remarkable job of ensuring price stability. Also, it is issued in an economic area for which the overall results are sound compared with other ones. As far as government or corporate bonds are concerned, the financial markets are complex and very sophisticated. Some investors have confidence (or not) and invest (or not), and others can forward buy or sell and speculate up or down. Market participants are thus motivated by varying degrees of confidence, as well as by fear and greed. When serious crises arise, such as the one that we have been in since 2007-08, they expose weaknesses as sure as x-rays show up the skeleton inside the body. A good way of not letting speculation take hold is to identify ones own weaknesses upfront and to correct them. In the years that preceded the crisis, countries in particular, had a false sense of security. Unfortunately, this sentiment was not only shared by some Europeans, but also by the whole of the international community, not to mention many economists. Once again, the lesson that we Europeans must draw from this is to strengthen the governance and monitoring of economic and fiscal policies. That does not mean to say that the functioning of the financial markets does not need to be substantially improved. At the moment, the key word for all industrialised countries is “confidence”.
Yes, but it is possible to speculate on whether Greece will default.
Such a speculation would be a sure-fire way of losing money given the decisions taken last Thursday. And let me say again, the euro, as a currency, is sound and credible, and is not affected by the pressures on sovereign risks.
Don’t the rating agencies play the speculation game?
You will be relinquishing your duties this coming November. What does this mean for you?
My professional life has been shaped by both the pursuit of long-term or very long-term strategies such as the construction of Europe and by a series of crises. When I started my career as a civil servant I had to deal with the first oil price shock in 1973-74, which was an enormous blow to the whole of the industrialised world. Unfortunately, because we responded poorly, particularly in Europe, this shock was the start of mass unemployment. I have also lived through the sovereign debt crises in Latin America, Africa, the crisis in the Soviet Union, the crises of the Exchange Rate Mechanism of the European Monetary System in 1992 and 1993, and of course the Asian crisis, the bursting of the dot.com bubble and the ongoing crisis that started in 2007-08. The truth is, I have always been living through crises. This has led me to conclude that, in a world that is undergoing extremely rapid transformation thanks to science and technology, the global spread of the market economy and the fantastic progress made by China and India, it is necessary to be constantly on one’s guard and in a state of alert. I first elaborated on this view in a speech I gave in 2005 at Jackson Hole in Wyoming, where central bankers from all around the world meet every year on an informal basis. Back then, I explained that one of the conditions for boosting long-term confidence was to remain visibly and constantly in a state of alert. The experience of the most serious crisis since the Second World War has only strengthened this conviction. More than ever, the benefit that the European Central Bank brings to Europeans is to be an anchor of stability and confidence in a turbulent and demanding period.

Earlier this week, we discussed the intricate relationship between calcium and magnesium (read more about it here), and established the current dilemma we have with overemphasis on calcium consumption while minimizing the importance of magnesium. Because of this, an estimated 80% of Americans are deficient in magnesium. Not only is magnesium necessary for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body and responsible for a host of basic functions such as muscle contraction, nerve conduction, and our heartbeats, but studies have now shown that it may prevent heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and osteoporosis.
What are the risk factors for magnesium deficiency?
age – Our ability to absorb anything decreases with age. The elderly are also more likely to be on medications that may interfere with magnesium absorption.
over-exercising – Magnesium is lost in sweat.
diabetes – Diabetics have increased magnesium loss in their urine, especially if poorly controlled.
kidney disease – Those with unhealthy kidneys will also lose magnesium through their urine.
malabsorption or gut problems – Digestive problems such as Crohn’s disease or leaky gut syndrome will interfere with your ability to absorb magnesium.
use of certain medications – Diuretics, antibiotics, and certain cancer medications can result in magnesium deficiency as they interfere with its absorption.
eating processed foods with high sugar content and drinking soda – This depletes magnesium in our bodies, since magnesium is used to metabolize and detoxify these foods.
alcoholism – Alcoholics tend to have low magnesium levels.
exposure to heavy metals and environmental chemicals – Magnesium is depleted through detoxification of these exposures.
What does magnesium deficiency cause?
Review: How do I know if I am magnesium deficient?
With the depletion of magnesium in our soil, we are probably only getting 200 mg of magnesium from our daily diet versus 500mg in the past. The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of magnesium for young adults is 400mg for men and 310mg for women. In adults over 30, the RDA is 420mg for men and 320mg for women. It is important and necessary to supplement and perhaps even double this recommended allowance through food and supplements, especially if you have stress in your life (who doesn’t?), as stress uses up our magnesium stores even more.
Magnesium glycinate provides the highest level of magnesium absorption. Metagenics comes in 100mg tablets (take 2 twice a day for a total of 400mg/day) and OrthoMolecular Products offers 235mg in 2 tablets (also taken twice daily for a total of 470mg). It is probably best to start with the recommended dosage and adjust according to your levels.
1) Magnesium protects the heart.
Studies have reported a a 34% lower risk of sudden cardiac death in women who took higher levels of magnesium. When a heart attack occurs, there can be increased damage to heart muscle when calcium rushes into the muscle. Blood clots can block blood vessels to the heart. Decreased circulation can cause blood vessels to constrict. New formed arrhythmia in the injured area can occur. Magnesium counteracts these events by dilating blood vessels, preventing spasm in the blood vessels and heart, opposing the action of calcium which increases spasm (remember, magnesium is the “calming” mineral with a relaxing action), dissolving blood clots, lessening the site of injury thereby preventing arrhythmia, and using its antioxidant activity against free radicals that may form at the injury site.
2) Magnesium may prevent diabetes.
Magnesium reduces insulin resistance. In a study with overweight subjects, the group taking 365 mg of magnesium daily for 6 months had lower fasting blood sugar levels and less insulin resistance than the control group. It seems that magnesium controls the activation of the enzyme tyrosine kinase, which is required for proper functioning of our insulin receptors.
3) Magnesium may prevent and treat symptoms of stroke.
A study found that for every 100mg increase in magnesium intake, risk of stroke was decreased by 8%. Intravenous magnesium has also been used for neuroprotection in patients with acute stroke.
4) Magnesium may prevent osteoporosis and hip fractures.
Magnesium is involved in bone formation and bone health. It regulates osteoblast activity (cells involved in bone formation) as well as osteoclast activity (cells involve in bone breakdown). It influences parathyroid hormone and vitamin D, which are both major regulators of bone homeostasis. Researchers also discovered that women with osteoporosis had lower serum levels of magnesium than women with osteopenia or women without osteoporosis or osteopenia. In Norway, a study found that those who drank water with magnesium had a lower risk of hip fracture in both men and women.
4) Magnesium has been used in colorectal cancer prevention.
Higher intakes of dietary magnesium was correlated with lower risk of colorectal cancer. The data from this study showed that for every 100mg increase in magnesium intake, the risk of colorectal cancer tumor decreased by 13% while colorectal cancer risk decreased by 12%.
5) Magnesium promotes weight loss.
Finally, we see a positive correlation between magnesium intake and weight loss. The more magnesium we have in our bodies, the more our bodies are able to regulate insulin and control our blood sugar levels, leading to prevention of diabetes and obesity.
Hopefully, I’ve give you plenty of incentive to check your magnesium levels and start supplementing as needed! Have a great weekend!

The firm’s employees received their education from top Ukrainian and Western universities. The team consists of 31 highly-qualified attorneys, including three partners, Mykola Stetsenko, Glib Bondar, and Dmytro Marchukov, who are actively involved in every transaction.
AVELLUM is recognized as one of the leading law firms in Ukraine by various international legal directories and Ukrainian legal publications such as Chambers & Partners, IFLR1000, Legal500, International Tax Review, Ukrainian Law Firms, and others.
The year 2016 was marked by relatively low M&A activity in Ukraine. Although transactions were carried out in almost every industry, their total number turned out to be quite moderate. In our view it is necessary to distinguish transactions relating to the Ukrainian market only and those transactions that were effected on a global scale, but which contained a significant Ukrainian element.
If we speak of Ukrainian transactions only, a number of transactions in the financial sector are worth mentioning, particularly the acquisition of Ukrsotsbank by Alfa Group and the sale of Universal Bank. The latter was acquired by the TAS Group owned by Sergiy Tigipko, who also acquired Aegon life insurance company from its foreign shareholders. In line with its exit strategy, UniCredit sold its leasing subsidiary in Ukraine to Alfa Group in early 2017.
We also witnessed a certain number of transactions in the agricultural sector (the sale of Creative Group, for instance), the IT segment (Soros investment in Ciklum), and the investment by Horizon Capital, a private equity fund, in Rozetka. Market rumors hint that several private equity firms are in the process of fundraising for new funds. This is obviously a good sign for 2017.
A huge event in December was the sudden nationalization of PrivatBank, the largest bank in Ukraine, by the Ukrainian Government. The consequences of this nationalization for the country as a whole are yet to be seen. In the meantime, a new management and supervisory board have been installed, while the bank itself received significant monetary support from the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine.
Unfortunately, no deals were concluded in the engineering and heavy industry sectors, and the FMCG segment also reported no intense activity.
The pharmaceutical market was a noteworthy exception, with several transactions taking place in the course of 2016. Farmak’s investment in Poland was the most prominent one. This investment of a Ukrainian company into Eastern Europe became a pleasant exception at a time of low business activity and general exits by Ukrainian companies from the Russian and Crimean markets. A vivid example of this exiting phenomenon is MHP’s withdrawal from the Russian business by means of exchange of its assets in Russia for the Ukrainian assets of Agrocultura Group. Some further consolidation in the pharmaceutical industry also continued with the acquisition by Darnitsa of a 30% stake in the Borschahivsky pharma plant based in Kyiv. This investment, however, created some tension between old management and the new shareholder.
In early 2017 Kernel, the largest vegetable oil producer in Ukraine, issued its debut Eurobonds for USD 500 million. While this event is not M&A activity by nature, it will likely spur some new acquisitions in the agricultural sector in 2017.
The infrastructure segment, particularly sea ports, is gradually drawing more interest from investors, both local and international. The establishment of a joint venture between MV Group and Cargill, the global agro-industrial giant, may serve as a great example here. As far as we know, Ukrainian and foreign investors are also discussing a number of transactions related to port infrastructure and transhipment terminals.
(i.e., the market for secured or unsecured default loans) became a new trend this year. Although the targets of such transactions are rights of claim under loan agreements, such transactions may in fact easily turn into hostile M&A transactions typical of an unfriendly or opportunistic nature.
Unlike the Ukrainian M&A market, the global M&A market once again looks likely to reach stratospheric level in terms of total transaction value. The USA remains the leader in the value and the number of transactions. These transactions sometimes involve Ukraine, if only from the merger control clearance perspective (if new financial thresholds are exceeded). Some transactions (e.g., IT transactions) are even more related to Ukraine, since many of the specialists employed by IT companies are concentrated here. An excellent example of such a transaction was the acquisition of Lohika, a premier software development firm, by Altran, a global leader in innovation and high-tech engineering consulting company. Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Lohika is a leading software developer most active in North America with experienced delivery teams in Ukraine and Romania coming to more than 700 employees, most of them software engineers. Another great example is the acquisition of a 48% stake in GlobalLogic Inc. by Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. GlobalLogic Inc. is one of the top-5 global outsourced product developers headquartered in the USA, having 11,000 employees with significant operations in Ukraine, India, Slovakia, Argentina, Poland, and the US.
What Has Not Happened so Far?
First, everyone expected massive privatization to be launched in Ukraine. Unfortunately, this has not happened yet, although there were two attempts in 2016 to sell the Odesa Port Plant, one of the largest fertilizer producers in the world. Privatization of state-owned electricity generation and electricity distribution companies has also been postponed until 2017. At the moment, privatization of Ukrspyrt, the largest state holding of spirit production plants, is actively discussed, though it has not yet been initiated. Although there are undoubtedly a number of reasons for these delays, the market continues to hope for one or more successful privatizations in 2017.
Second, the Ukrainian Deposit Guarantee Fund has not begun to sell its assets actively, even though it has so far accumulated an enormous amount of assets previously owned by liquidated banks. The Fund has already carried out an inventory of available assets, and its representatives report that they are working on the creation of transparent sales mechanisms involving the use of auction marketplaces, including the ProZorro public procurement system.
Both economic and psychological factors are working to restrain M&A in Ukraine.
Economic factors include the low purchasing power of the majority of Ukrainian investors and the absence of high-quality assets for sale. At some level, this is a repetition of the situation in 2009 when very many companies became insolvent, yet their owners refused to sell them at the actual market value. However, compared to that previous crisis, Ukrainian banks this time are more aggressively disposed and ready to enforce pledged assets. In our view, it is definitely good news that Ukrainian bankruptcy and financial restructuring laws have been actively improving.
The restraining effect of foreign exchange restrictions in Ukraine serves as an unconditional limiting factor. However, gradual liberalization of these restrictions — namely the permission to pay out dividends in part — is definitely bringing a positive impact. The National Bank announced in January 2017 that further liberalization should be expected in the course of this year.
The procedure for purchasing rights of claim under loan agreements has a number of drawbacks, which certainly restrict the free sale of default loans and serve as a restraining factor for foreign investors.
Psychological factors should also be considered, since the fear of corrupt Ukrainian courts still prevails. However, these fears may be gradually dispelled upon the successful implementation of judicial reform in Ukraine, which commenced in September 2016.
Unfortunately, the conflict in Eastern Ukraine, the annexation of Crimea, and potential Russian aggression still puts considerable pressure on the Ukrainian investment environment. Yet, as we can see, Ukrainian investors have already come to terms with these factors, while foreign investors are getting used to them.
— adoption of legislative amendments aimed against raiding, in particular the introduction of mandatory notarization of documents changing directors or making other changes in membership.
It is also crucial to highlight a number of draft laws submitted to Parliament for consideration, including the Draft Law On Limited Liability Companies, Draft Law On Shareholder Agreements, and Draft Law On Squeeze-out/Sell-out. The adoption of all these draft laws should improve the quality of corporate legislation in Ukraine and may create a climate for joint ventures to function properly in Ukraine and investors to rely on the substantial flexibility of new legislation.
In late December 2016 and January 2017 these laws were passed in the first reading by the Ukrainian Parliament and the legal community has big hopes for them that they will be adopted in their final readings by the spring of 2017.

We were asked to write in my senior yearbook about what we thought we’d be doing years down the road. I don’t remember the assigned numeric value of said reach. Of course answers ranged from silly to sillier with a dash of serious. Without searching through dozens of boxes for the exact words, I can tell you that my attempt was a mixture of the silly and the serious. I predicted that I would be taking over the 700 Club from Pat Robertson. That was my plan… or some version of it.
Truthfully I spent a good portion of my adulthood as the anarchist who revolted against planning. I took pride in the fact that I was a go-with-the-flow guy. This began to change when I became a leader of leaders and learned that my style did not translate to the majority of those I was attempting to lead. They wanted to know the plan. Where are we going? How do you expect us to get there? These became questions that would simultaneously frustrate me and mature my ability to lead.
The older I become the more I value planning. I try not to get uptight about it, but I do my homework, pray about it much, and read incessantly to help me formulate my plans. This was certainly my practice in getting ready to start a church. I read every book that was even suggested to me, interviewed dozens of guys who had done it, and even learned from people who had rejected faith for a variety of reasons. I had a plan. In all the ways that matter, my plan worked. My greatest boast is that there are a few dozen people (most of whom are still in my life today) who have a different impression of Christianity because of the actions associated with those plans. But in May of 2012 it was time to stop. In the ultimate sense, depending on your perspective, the plans had either run their course or they had not worked. I choose to think the former.
Yes. Yes. And, yes. This is what I’ve been learning. Admittedly I have had a tough time moving on from this life event. But as I rewound and replayed that quote last night I felt a freedom in my spirit that has been mostly absent. Sometimes we have to let go of the things we had planned so we can get on with the things that are yet to come. Be free. These verses from Scripture say mostly the same thing.
For now I continue to work as a salesman for my day job and am starting to serve again through our great church that we’ve been called to be part of at The Bridge.
But I like the idea that in letting go you are preparing for what’s next.

Leading Edge Law – Can the Police Force You to Unlock Your Phone?
Can the Police Force You to Unlock Your Phone?
What can your face do for you?
In Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus, he muses that Helen of Troy’s face was so beautiful that her abandonment of her husband and elopement triggered the Trojan War and the launching of a thousand ships.
A classic Timex watch commercial from the 80’s shows an ugly woman’s face cracking all the glass in town except for a Timex watchface.
But can the police use your face to snoop through your phone?
The new iPhone X replaces optional fingerprint unlock with optional facial recognition unlock. Could the police use your face against your will to unlock your phone? For other phones, could the police force you to provide a fingerprint to do so? What about a passcode?
Aside from searches at the border, whether the police can force you to unlock your phone is a two-step analysis.
First, unless you consent to the search, the police generally must have a warrant based on probable cause to search your phone. The Supreme Court held that the Fourth Amendment requires that.
If things get that far, could you use your Fifth Amendment constitutional privilege against self-incrimination to refuse to provide the login credential?
This law is developing, but early lower-level court decisions hold you can be compelled to provide a fingerprint because a fingerprint isn’t testimony. But you can’t be required to divulge your passcode, because giving that passcode is testimony.
A Virginia Beach trial-court judge drew that distinction in 2014. Some federal courts have followed that view, although not uniformly. Neither the U.S. Supreme Court nor the federal appellate courts have yet addressed this issue.
No court has yet held whether the police can use your face to unlock your phone. But if you can be compelled to provide a fingerprint to do so, it’s hard to imagine a court ruling the police can’t use your face for that purpose.
Things are different at the border. Under the “border search exception,” federal agents can search your possessions without probable cause, regardless of whether you are a U.S. citizen.
At the border, if you refuse to unlock your phone when asked, you can be detained for hours for questioning, even if that causes you to miss your flight. A non-citizen can be denied entry into the U.S. based on a refusal to unlock.
Federal border agents need only “reasonable suspicion” to keep your phone to try to inspect its contents. No probable cause is required.
Practically speaking, this means you could be forced to unlock your phone to get through.
The odds of this happening are small. Reportedly phone searches at the border rose to 5000 per month in February 2017. Because about 400 million monitored border crossings occur per year, that means less than .02% of all border crossings trigger a phone search.
If you wish to guard your phone privacy from the police, what can you do?
You could disable biometric unlocking (i.e., unlocking by fingerprint or face). That’s inconvenient, though.
If you believe a police confrontation is imminent, you can quickly disable biometric unlocking by powering off your phone. Unlocking after powering back up will require your passcode – biometrics won’t work.
You could use an unusual finger (e.g., pinky) for your fingerprint unlock. Most phones are set to require a password after a certain number of fingerprint fails. My iPhone, running iOS 11, requires a passcode after three failures. Thus, if you are compelled to provide a fingerprint, your right index finger or thumb won’t unlock the phone.
But keep this issue in perspective. Most of the stuff on your phone is communicated through your phone service provider and stored in the cloud, where it might be reachable by subpoena. Stuff you place on social media can be obtained by subpoena from social media. Overall, there are other avenues for getting to your private electronic communications that don’t require your unlock face, finger, or code.
Perhaps the best line of defense is to keep what’s on your phone clean rather than hoping you can keep the bad stuff locked away.

Operation Stack has been back with a vengeance lately but here’s when it all began more than 25 years ago.
This photograph, taken on February 8, 1988, shows lorries queued up on the M20 because of a docks strike in Folkestone.
It was one of the first times the queuing system was introduced and is to this day being used, usually at times of severe weather, industrial action or fire or derailments in the Channel Tunnel.
In the last week it has been due to the knock-on effect of a fire at the Channel Tunnel and Phase Two of the emergency system, between Junctions 8 and 9, was introduced yesterday.
The 1988 scene stems from a countrywide seamen’s strike that began that January 31.
The National Union of Seamen had then called for a strike throughout British ports in support of 161 crew sacked by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company for refusing to accept new terms and conditions.
After three days of stoppage the NUS bowed to a High Court order to end the action but individual groups of seamen defied the union’s call to return to work.
With the action continuing, tailbacks of up to 300 lorries built up in roads to ports up and down the country.
Protests shifted to more localised concerns and there was a particularly bitter struggle between P&O seafarers and management at Dover.
Previous delays at the entrance to Eurotunnel have led to Operation Stack on the M20.
Folekstone, which then had a ferry service to Boulogne, also suffered a knock-on effect.
The M20 in 1988 was closed for 14 weeks between Junctions 9 at Ashford and 13 at Folkestone.
Capacity to store lorries was limited because the motorway between Junctions 8 and 9, then locally called the Missing Link, had not yet been built.
In the following years Operation Stack has recurred, causing chaos on east Kent’s roads. Neighbouring main roads are clogged up as drivers search for alternative routes.
By February 2007 Ashford MP Damian Green told the House of Commons that since 1988 the system had been used 74 times for Phase 1, (between Junctions 11 and 12) and 17 for Phase Two.
He told MPs: “It must be the worst piece of emergency transport planning anywhere in Britain.
“We all accept that motorways can be closed if there is a serious accident or if weather conditions dictate.

Former education minister Baroness Gillian Shephard joined international education experts at a conference in Norwich on Wednesday.
The event, organised by Norfolk County Council, gave teachers and education leaders from across the county and international partners the chance to share the best aspects of their work in schools and universities. It had a particular focus on how to tackle the challenge of teaching of modern languages in schools.
Speakers at the International Norfolk Conference, that attracted 100 people, included Professor Emerita of the School of Education at Salem State University (USA), Dr Louise Swiniarski.
The conference, held at the University of East Anglia, welcomed 20 visitors from abroad, including China, Serbia, Germany, Belgium, Norway and Ghana, who discussed the strengths and challenges of their own education systems.
Baroness Shephard, who is fluent in French, said she had a special reason for placing great value on learning foreign languages.
She said: “I’m interested in social mobility, and when you learn a language you are absorbing skills you can use in other areas of life, listening, responding and improving how you interact with people – ‘soft’ skills which are very, very important.
Education adviser for Norfolk County Council and conference organiser Robert Rickard said: “It’s fantastic to have so many people from different countries coming together to encourage each other to organise exchange visits and sharing the best aspects of their education system that could be replicated in other countries.
“We are encouraging schools in Norfolk to look outwards beyond not only our county but also our country and to seize the rich opportunities that come with international partnerships.

I have been studying Feng Shui since 2005 and have had the unique opportunity to meet many potential Feng Shui Practitioners. I also receive a lot of inquiries from potential clients looking for a Feng Shui Practitioner or Consultant to help them create a better life.
Generally speaking, I would say that Feng Shui Consultants are motivated by a heart of compassion and the desire to truly want to help people. That’s really quite a simplistic view, but that’s usually the type of person who wants to be a Feng Shui Practitioner.
Are all Feng Shui experts Consultants? No, they aren’t – they may mentor or teach or write books – but the actual consultation is not what motivates them to their highest level.
Can you be an expert in Feng Shui, and still find it challenging to perform an effective consultation? Absolutely! In fact a Feng Shui Practitioner also needs to learn how to be a Consultant – to be able to implement a proven methodology to their consultations. Understanding the ‘Business of Feng Shui Consultations’ is crucial to your success as a Feng Shui Practitioner.
I love how David Kennedy describes the Feng Shui Consultant – something to think about.
The environment is continuously conditioning our chi with both positive and negative effects. Your job is to help improve the energy of the client’s environment so that it benefits their chi and life.
A Feng Shui Consultant is an agent for change and transformation. Both a metaphysician and a practical adviser, your success has one foot in the energetic and spiritual world, dealing with subjects of karma, destiny and life’s mysteries. The other foot is firmly planted in concrete, everyday reality to help the client with practical issues such as wealth, health, relationships, bed placements, children’s health, career desires and so on.
The professional Feng Shui Consultant carefully analyzes where the energy of the client and the energy of home and its surroundings are in harmony or imbalance, with the goal of making the energies more compatible and supportive.

Whether you practice Feng Shui for your own personal use or as a Practitioner, enjoy your Feng Shui journey!

I have been a professional freelance writer since 2005. I have studied copywriting with some of the best in the industry including Lorrie Morgan of Red Hot Copy, John Carlton, Dan Kennedy, The Children’s Institute for Literature, and American Writers and Artists Institute (AWAI). I am certified with AWAI also and you can see that verification logo on my website at www.erinalli.com if you scroll to the bottom and if you click the logo it will bring you to the verification page to tell you what exactly that means.
I have been writing for as long as I could hold a pen and written many different forms including poetry, fiction, nonfiction, blogs, and copy for business growth. I continually increase my knowledge in the writing world in all different formats and I write daily. I am not just someone that writes when there is a project to do. I love writing so much that I spend time daily doing it for fun as well as for clients.
Copy is what your prospects see first when they go to your website, or when they get your free offering, or when you send an email or a newsletter. Copy is everything and when you have compelling copy that sells what you are offering, you will have success over and over no matter what you do as a business. Your copy is what your prospects see to get to know you first before they talk to you or work with you or buy your product. It is what gets them to take that next step to learn more and ultimately buy from you or work with you.
Copy is how you are able to build a lasting relationship with your potential clients. I’m sure you know that repeat business is what keeps you in business right? Good copy is what keeps that person coming back and purchasing your next offer and the one after that. Your copy is friendly and informative. It establishes rapport, grows trust and builds loyalty.
I may, but it doesn’t matter either way. Why? Because when I work with you, I research your business and gather all types of information so that I can write for your industry and in your voice. That is a gift I have…to find your voice and write in a style that reflects you and easily builds that know, like, trust factor with your audience. I look for what will make you stand out from your competitors. I put in the time to get to know you, your business, your industry and what is working and not working to get you results.
I like to get to know my clients and build a relationship. I care about my clients and what is going on in their life as well as their business. I will only work with clients that I enjoy and can have fun with. In order for me to write excellent copy for you, I think it is important to have a good relationship. If we don’t have compatible personalities, things don’t run as smooth as they could so only if we connect and I am confident that I can help will I work with you. I will review your copy from time to time and also suggest new ideas and changes that could be made to have better results. If I find information in your industry that I think you would find valuable I will pass it along. I am always thinking of my clients and keeping an eye out for new ideas that will benefit them. I consider my clients as friends and will look out for you and your success just as I would for any friend of mine.
I work best with clients that are open to ideas and suggestions. I work best with clients that understand the importance of good communication and can get me the information I need from them in a timely fashion so that I can move forward on my end to ensure any deadlines are met. I am always open to feedback and questions. I feel that if we don’t openly communicate things can’t improve and results won’t be what they should be.
It all depends on what type of project we are working on. I will always make sure you are happy with your copy and when I write for you, I submit the first draft for you to review then do revisions based on your feedback. I want you to be proud of what is going out in the world as your message. Results will depend on you as well and what you are doing to get the copy out in the world and in front of people. I don’t guarantee any specific results but I do promise that you are getting great copy that you will be happy to get out there and that is up to your standards and what you are looking for as far as your message.
It all depends on what type of project we are working on but generally 2-4 weeks minimum. That way I have time for research and to write the first draft. Then we will edit and do a rewrite based on your feedback. If there is an absolute deadline let me know and I will make sure it is completed by then. If you are on a monthly retainer I will have your projects all scheduled out ahead of time.

October 31 - Fairstar Heavy Transport has been awarded a contract by Oando Energy Services, a leading indigenous, energy and energy services company in Nigeria to transport the drilling rig Respect from Lagos, Nigeria to Galveston, USA.
The contract is valued at USD3.05 million and Chris Muilwijk, sales team Leader for Fairstar's Client Services Group, states: "Oando Energy Services is a new client for Fairstar. The contract tender was managed byAmerican Shipping and Chartering through their Houston and Lagos offices.
Muilwijk claims that Fairstar's semi-submersible vessel Fjord was the only vessel capable of loading in Lagos and discharging in Galveston. He said: "The shallow-draft of the Fjord is a powerful competitive advantage. Converted oil tankers have severe limits on their ability to submerge in many shallow water ports. We expect to load the Respect on to the Fjord in the second half of November."
Philip Adkins, Fairstar's CEO added "Fairstar has won three critical contracts in the spot market in the last month. Fjord and Fjell will achieve the financial results in Q4 2011 that we required to maintain liquidity and financial strength in the face of a historically weak market. There is no sign in the current market that time charter rates will pick up. Spot market economics are at or below break even for everyone in the marine heavy transport industry.
"Fjord and Fjell are now fully booked for at least the next two years. Fjell is expected to depart Gabon with theHercules and Nabors rigs later this week and will then sail to Alaska once they have been discharged in Pascagoula, USA.
"Fjord will return to Africa after discharging Respect and load FPSO components in Angola, for the DSME CLOV Project. Once Fjord has arrived in Korea to complete the DSME contract, it will ready itself for Gorgon.
"2011 has been a challenging year for our company. We are looking forward to 2012 and the beginning of the "Red Box" era of high value, multi voyage, long term contracts for Fairstar."

After being reelected as the president of FIFA last Friday, Sepp Blatter announced his resignation earlier today. The news of his leave comes amidst the scandal and controversy that is currently surrounding the soccer organization.
'Shots' were fired on social media from figures and FIFA fans alike as people took advantage of the situation to make jokes and remarks about the issues that have been plaguing FIFA.
Just landed. Half the airplane has switched on smartphones and is rejoicing over #SeppBlatter resignation.
During a press conference today, Blatter said,"I appreciate and love FIFA more than anything else, and I only want to do the best for football and for FIFA." As can be expected, Twitter erupted with reactions and responses to the president's decision to leave amid this massive controversy.
I am really upset that #SeppBlatter has resigned. He seems like such a great guy.
CONSPIRACY THEORY: the FIFA movie opens in the U.S. this weekend. What if this is all a marketing ploy to make sure the movie makes money???
FIFA to-do list: 1) Change the fields for the women to grass 2) Elect Bob Ley the next president 3) Move 2022 World Cup to anywhere else.
BREAKING- #SeppBlatter has announced he will resign to spend more time with his family and his shredder.
Breaking News: #SeppBlatter resigns as president About bloody time!
I would have liked it if Sepp Blatter had ended his news conference with: "Stay thirsty, my friends."

Is This the Inspiration Behind Lorde's Ink-Stained Nails?
Here's proof that when it comes to beauty and fashion, everything has been done before—even nails that make you look like you just gave your car an oil change. For her Grammy performance, Lorde went with a crisp white shirt and wide leg black trousers, letting her ink-stained nails take center stage. Out of the box for sure, but another witchy woman owns this look.
Rick Owens' wife and muse, Michele Lamy, has been using Japanese henna to get The Craft look for years. At the ELLE.com office, we couldn't stop talking about Lorde's nails. But apparently not many people ask Lamy about her manicure. As she said to AnotherMag, she thinks most people shy away from the subject because they might think it's a disease. Maybe we want to get infected?

Whether you’re swapping out a tired computer or moving files between devices, you’ll want a hassle-free way to transfer your vital data.
If you’re transferring a couple of small files, like a few photos or documents, simply attach them to an email and send away! It’s quick, easy and won’t cost you a cent.
If you’re copying a small amount of data, like a photo album, a flash drive or CD/DVD may just do the trick. But if you’re dealing with a lot of media (especially videos) then an external hard drive is the way to go! With drives growing in capacity and affordability this is a simple plug-and-play option.
A fast data migration method is to use a transfer cable to connect two computers with compatible ports. You may rock a USB, firewire, thunderbolt or similar cable connection to transfer between two Apple computers.
If you’re a bit more tech savvy, files can be transferred through wi-fi or ethernet on a local area network (you can actually use an ethernet cable or wi-fi hot spotting to build a LAN without a router). This process can be set up through your computer operating system. You can use software to instantly share files or alternatively, drag them into folders manually.
A popular way to transfer or sync files between computers, or other devices for that matter, is using a free or paid cloud service. Consider uploading and downloading your files via Dropbox, Microsoft’s OneDrive, Apple’s iCloud or Google Drive as they’ll shout you some free online storage space! Cloud is great for back-ups too – read more in our article about ways to back-up data.
If you’re the ultimate tech guru or hobbyist and your old computer has completely called it quits, you can remove a hard disk or solid state drive and connect to another motherboard manually using a SATA cable. The operating system will recognise that a new drive is connected and you can transfer your data very quickly. You’ll need to be a true expert to undertake this method… it’s not for the faint hearted!
Are you stumped on which method is best for you? Is your data transfer task becoming a time consuming chore?
Get in touch with our tech experts and they’ll walk you through a solution!


text: Gathering performances from late 70's "Game Set Match" sees a revived interest in one of the most crucial folk figures in British music. Having recorded five solo records and gone on countless solo tours, Nic Jones' career was cut short in 1982 when he was severely injured in a car accident. The live recordings contained on this compilation allow us a look into this man's particular insightful mind - a styling that set off many careers [I wouldn't be surprised if Richard Thompson considered Nic a hero]. His voice was one that told tales of hardship, gut wrenching love and misery. This was the reality he was surrounded with in rural England during the 70's. He wrote about what he saw. He sang about what he knew best. Guttural subject manner combined with his utmost, really emotive voice provide for some intense listening. His guitar picking is straight-forward and this is often the best policy. No way in hell do you want the guitar to take anything away from Nic's lyrics. If anything, the guitar self-accompaniment allows for greater emotions to come through. Painfully real and simplistically beautiful, "Game Set Match" is an important reminder of a man that helped to put the British folk scene at the forefront.

You may or may not be affected, but between Thursday the 24th and Tuesday the 29th Intuit will be doing some upgrades and various services (mostly payroll) will be affected from time-to-time. So, if you do plan to do any work be prepared for possible delays. The interruptions are not expected to last for long periods, so if you hit a glitch take a deep breath, go for a walk, and come back to try again. I wish you an enjoyable Memorial Day!
