This article is about the German title. For other uses, see Führer (disambiguation).
Führer (German pronunciation: [ˈfyːʁɐ], spelled Fuehrer when the umlaut is not available) is a German word meaning "leader" or "guide". As a political title it is associated with the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. Nazi Germany cultivated the Führerprinzip ("leader principle"), and Hitler was generally known as just der Führer ("the Leader").
Führer was the title demanded by Adolf Hitler to denote his function as the head of the Nazi Party; he received it in 1921 when, infuriated over party founder Anton Drexler's plan to merge with another antisemitic far-right nationalist party, he resigned from the party. Drexler and the party's Executive Committee then acquiesced to Hitler's demand to be made the chairman of the party with "dictatorial powers" as the condition for his return. It was common at the time to refer to leaders of all sorts, including those of political parties, as Führer. Hitler's adoption of the title was partly inspired by its earlier use by the Austrian Georg von Schönerer, a major exponent of pan-Germanism and German nationalism in Austria, whose followers commonly referred to him as the Führer, and who also used the Roman salute – where the right arm and hand are held rigidly outstretched – which they called the "German greeting". According to historian Richard J. Evans, this use of "Führer" by Schönerer's Pan-German Association, probably introduced the term to the German far right, but its specific adoption by the Nazis may have been influenced by the use in Italy of "Duce", also meaning "leader", as an informal title for Benito Mussolini, the Fascist Prime Minister, and later dictator, of that country.
After Hitler's appointment as Reichskanzler (Chancellor of the Reich) the Reichstag passed the Enabling Act which allowed Hitler's cabinet to promulgate laws by decree.
One day before the death of Reichspräsident Paul von Hindenburg, Hitler and his cabinet decreed a law that merged the office of the president with that of Chancellor, so that Hitler became Führer and Reichskanzler – although eventually Reichskanzler was quietly dropped. Hitler therefore assumed the President's powers without assuming the office itself – ostensibly out of respect for Hindenburg's achievements as a heroic figure in World War I. Though this law was in breach of the Enabling Act, which specifically precluded any laws concerning the Presidential office, it was approved by a referendum on 19 August.
Hitler saw himself as the sole source of power in Germany, similar to the Roman emperors and German medieval leaders. He used the title Führer und Reichskanzler (Leader and Chancellor), highlighting the positions he already held in party and government, though in popular reception, the element Führer was increasingly understood not just in reference to the Nazi Party, but also in reference to the German people and the German state. Soldiers had to swear allegiance to Hitler as "Führer des deutschen Reiches und Volkes" (Leader of the German Reich and People). The title was changed on 28 July 1942 to "Führer des Großdeutschen Reiches" (Leader of the Greater German Reich). In his political testament, Hitler also referred to himself as Führer der Nation (Leader of the Nation).
One of the Nazis' most-repeated political slogans was Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer – "One People, One Empire, One Leader". Bendersky says the slogan "left an indelible mark on the minds of most Germans who lived through the Nazi years. It appeared on countless posters and in publications; it was heard constantly in radio broadcasts and speeches." The slogan emphasized the absolute control of the party over practically every sector of German society and culture – with the churches being the most notable exception. Hitler's word was absolute, but he had a narrow range of interest – mostly involving diplomacy and the military – and so his subordinates interpreted his will to fit their own interests.
According to the Constitution of Weimar, the President was Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. Unlike "President", Hitler did take this title (Oberbefehlshaber) for himself. When conscription was reintroduced in 1935, Hitler created the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, a post held by the Minister for War. He retained the title of Supreme Commander for himself. Field Marshal Werner von Blomberg, then the Minister of War and one of those who created the Hitler oath, or the personal oath of loyalty of the military to Hitler, became the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces while Hitler remained Supreme Commander. Following the Blomberg–Fritsch Affair in 1938, Hitler assumed the commander-in-chief's post as well and took personal command of the armed forces. However, he continued using the older formally higher title of Supreme Commander, which was thus filled with a somewhat new meaning. Combining it with "Führer", he used the style Führer und Oberster Befehlshaber der Wehrmacht (Leader and Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht), yet a simple "Führer" since May 1942.
An additional title was adopted by Hitler on 23 June 1941 when he declared himself the "Germanic Führer" (Germanischer Führer), in addition to his duties as Führer of the German state and people. This was done to emphasize Hitler's professed leadership of what the Nazis described as the "Nordic-Germanic master race", which was considered to include peoples such as the Norwegians, Danes, Swedes, Dutch, and others in addition to the Germans, and the intent to annex these countries to the German Reich in 1933. Waffen-SS formations from these countries had to declare obedience to Hitler by addressing him in this fashion. On 12 December 1941 the Dutch fascist Anton Mussert also addressed him as such when he proclaimed his allegiance to Hitler during a visit to the Reich Chancellery in Berlin. He had wanted to address Hitler as Führer aller Germanen ("Führer of all Germanics"), but Hitler personally decreed the former style. Historian Loe de Jong speculates on the difference between the two: Führer aller Germanen implied a position separate from Hitler's role as Führer und Reichskanzler des Grossdeutschen Reiches ("Führer and Reich Chancellor of the Greater German Empire"), while germanischer Führer served more as an attribute of that main function. As late as 1944, however, occasional propaganda publications continued to refer to him by this unofficial title.
Führer has been used as a military title (compare Latin Dux) in Germany since at least the 18th century. The usage of the term "Führer" in the context of a company-sized military subunit in the German Army referred to a commander lacking the qualifications for permanent command. For example, the commanding officer of a company was (and is) titled "Kompaniechef" (literally, Company Chief), but if he did not have the requisite rank or experience, or was only temporarily assigned to command, he was officially titled "Kompanieführer". Thus operational commands of various military echelons were typically referred to by their formation title followed by the title Führer, in connection with mission-type tactics used by the German military forces. The term Führer was also used at lower levels, regardless of experience or rank; for example, a Gruppenführer was the leader of a squad of infantry (9 or 10 men).
Under the Nazis, the title Führer was also used in paramilitary titles (see Freikorps). Almost every Nazi paramilitary organization, in particular the SS and SA, had Nazi party paramilitary ranks incorporating the title of Führer. The SS including the Waffen-SS, like all paramilitary Nazi organisations, called all their members of any degree except the lowest Führer of something; thus confusingly, Gruppenführer was also an official rank title for a specific grade of general. The word Truppenführer was also a generic word referring to any commander or leader of troops, and could be applied to NCOs or officers at many different levels of command.
The word Führerstand translates to a "driver's cab"
In Germany, the isolated word "Führer" is usually avoided in political contexts, due to its intimate connection with Nazi institutions and with Hitler personally. However, the term -führer is used in many compound words. Examples include Bergführer (mountain guide), Fremdenführer (tourist guide), Geschäftsführer (CEO or EO), Führerschein (driver's license), Führerstand or Führerhaus (driver's cab), Lok(omotiv)führer (train driver), Reiseführer (travel guide book), and Spielführer (team captain — also referred to as Mannschaftskapitän).
The use of alternative terms like "Chef" (a borrowing from the French, as is the English "chief", e.g. Chef des Bundeskanzleramtes) or Leiter (often in compound words like Amtsleiter, Projektleiter or Referatsleiter) is usually not the result of replacing of the word "Führer", but rather using terminology that existed before the Nazis. The use of Führer to refer to a political party leader is rare today and Vorsitzender (chairman) is the more common term. However, the word Oppositionsführer ("leader of the (parliamentary) opposition") is more commonly used.

If Miss Watson had told Huck what the Bible says about living in a resurrected body and being with people we love on a resurrected Earth with gardens and rivers and mountains and untold adventures-now that would have gotten his attention.
Christians are God's delivery people, through whom he does his giving to a needy world. We are conduits of God's grace to others. Our eternal investment portfolio should be full of the most strategic kingdom-building projects to which we can disburse God's funds.
A disciple does not ask, "How much can I keep?" but, "How much more can I give?" Whenever we start to get comfortable with our level of giving, it's time to raise it again.
Wealth is a relational barrier. It keeps us from having open relationships.
We should remember Christ's words, 'Let nothing be wasted,' when we look in our refrigerators and garbage cans and garages.

Yanked out of the present, Adam discovered the richness of the past in people's stories.
...if I try to make only enough money for my family' immediate needs, it may violate Scripture. ...Even though earning just enough to meet the needs of my family may seem nonmaterialistic, it's actually selfish when I could earn enough to care for others as well.
[Nathan] wasn't blindly obsessed with a possession. He wasn't crazy. He was a hero-a father who'd risked his life to rescue his son.
..tithing isn't something I do to clear my conscience so I can do whatever I want with the 90 percent-it also belongs to God! I must seek his direction and permission for whatever I do with the full amount. I may discover that God has different ideas than I do.
Given our abundance, the burden of proof should always be on keeping, not giving. Why would you not give? We err by beginning with the assumption that we should keep or spend the money God entrusts to us. Giving should be the default choice. Unless there is a compelling reason to spend it or keep it, we should give it.
God doesn't make us rich so we can indulge ourselves and spoil our children, or so we can insulate ourselves form needing God's provision. God gives us abundant material blessing so that we can give it away, and give it generously.

It spreads like a wild fire. “It can never happen to me! I can’t get infected; I am protected. I have taken all the precautions necessary not to get infected.” No, we are not talking about a serious disease. We are talking about ransomware. A virus/malware that encrypts not only the data on your computer, but can reach out to any “drive” on your network that you have access to and encrypts that information as well. This encryption holds the data “hostage” with the sole purpose of extorting money from the victim by requesting payment in exchange for the decryption key that will restore their valuable data.
Chances are that you know of a person or business that has suffered a ransomware attack. The virus does not discriminate, an outbreak can occur in small or large businesses, local municipalities (even police departments), school districts and hospitals. In fact, in February 2016, a California hospital (Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center) was hit with ransomware, as a result their network was offline for over a week. That means no access to email, patient data and other critical documentation that affected the daily operations of the hospital. What would the impact be if ransomware hit your business and you had little or no access to critical information for over a week? The global spread and impact of ransomware further indicates this is a pandemic!
There are a number of ransomware threats that have become prevalent, including CryptoLocker or CryptoWall. These malwares have been linked to a number of different emails and/or links on websites. No matter how the infection took place, the result is the same, the malware gets downloaded to a PC and will scan all physical and network (logical) drives and encrypt certain file types. The virus can also attack USB thumb drives that are attached to the infected computer along with folders that are mapped to cloud storage solutions (e.g. Dropbox).
Files that get encrypted are typically popular data format files including: Microsoft Office, Adobe programs, iTunes or other music players and photo viewers. The files are compromised using a combination of two different encryption schemes; 256-bit AES and 2048-bit RSA. This basically renders the files useless without the decryption key; brute force or other tools cannot break the encryption on these files. When the ransomware has finished encrypting files on the PC, the virus will typically display a screen regarding a payment program that prompts the user to send a ransom payment to decrypt the files.
A user is then given a limited amount of time to pay the ransom (typically 72 hours) or it will delete the encryption key, making the encrypted files permanently inaccessible. Typically, the ransom must be paid using Bitcoins; an untraceable payment system. Once a payment is made and verified, the victim will then receive the decryption key in order to decrypt the files held for ransom.
Once the ransomware virus has infiltrated a computer and a user takes notice, most of the damage has already been done. If a computer is infected with a ransomware virus, first disconnect the computer immediately from any wireless/wired networks. Although there are software tools that can remove the malware from a computer, once files have been encrypted, they cannot be decrypted without the decryption (private) key. Essentially, three options then exist; 1) pay the ransom, 2) restore any encrypted files from the most recent backup, or 3) assuming a good back-up does not exist, chalk this experience to a cyber-incident and format the hard drive to start from scratch (all too often even if the infected computer was “cleaned” from ransomware, remnants of the malware still exist and may cause problems later).
The key here is having a useable and viable backup. Many times as a result of a ransomware infection, businesses learn that their backup is not effectively working or not backing up all files. In either situation, the user may have to resort to option 1 or 3; pay the ransom or format their computer resulting in lost/not retrievable files.
Backup, Backup and Backup – Having a usable and viable backup (not just a copy of files) can substantially mitigate risks and protect your data. Make sure backup is performed daily and that all files are part of this process. Full daily backups will help ensure a smoother process if there is a ransomware attack. Make sure the backup process through a restore is effectively working. Restore files from backup on a monthly or quarterly basis to provide peace of mind.
Don’t Open Emails From Strangers – One of the most common ways ransomware is transmitted is through email. Try to not open emails from people that you are not familiar with. DO NOT open attachments or click on links that are in non-familiar emails.
Minimize Network Access – Perform an assessment to determine the level of access to information each user has on the network. As mentioned previously, ransomware can reach beyond the PC it originally encrypted to the files on the network, affecting the entire company. Limiting access to network files will help mitigate these risks.
Patch, Patch and Patch – Patches to various software (operating systems, firewalls, application software) systems become available on a regular basis. Patches should be applied to the various software solutions your organization uses (weekly or monthly) in order to mitigate risks and give the attackers fewer options for infecting your system(s) with ransomware.
Train Employees – More often than not, ransomware infections are a result of an employee accessing an email, opening an attachment or clicking on a link from an unknown source. Train employees on what to look for and how to avoid infected emails and/or websites. This will help mitigate risks with not only ransomware but other types of cyber-related issues (e.g. phishing attacks).
Maintain An Endpoint Solution – Many of the various virus/malware protection solutions (endpoints) for PCs will detect ransomware and eliminate the threat. Having up-to-date endpoint solutions (similar to patches) is important to ensure that variants of ransomware will be detected and removed. Having different virus/malware solutions on servers, firewalls and PCs can also strengthen the threat detection and removal process.
While we cannot eliminate the threat of ransomware, we can significantly mitigate the risk of an attack, and reduce the potential consequences. Organizations can no longer believe “it can’t happen to me,” because it can and most likely will. Start by understanding where your organization may have some areas of weakness and assessing where improvements can be made in systems, patches, employee training and most importantly in your backup solution.

A workers' struggle for their jobs and rights at Sinter Metal Đmalat Sanayi AŞ (located in the Dudullu Organized Industrial Zone, Turkey) has gone on for three months.
I join with the IMF, EMF and Birlesik Metal-IS in demanding that Sinter Metal immediately stops and remedies violations of worker and trade union rights at the operation located in the Dudullu Organized Industrial Zone in Turkey. I am increasingly alarmed that such violations continue to undermine workers' rights to form and join a union and to collectively bargain, enshrined in ILO conventions 98 and 87. I demand that Sinter Metal management immediately reinstates the dismissed workers, stops violations of fundamental worker and trade union rights, and in good faith considers the workers' demands and starts negotiations to reach a fair and just settlement with the union.


Whether you are talking about a breakfast cereal called Corn Flakes or one called Flakes of Corn may not sound a big deal in the human world, but when it comes to exchanging information about products in the supply chain it could mean the difference between getting paid or not.
Gathering product data and maintaining it accurately in a standard format so that it can be used in electronic trade sounds like a no brainer, but product data synchronisation, as its is called, has proved a tough nut to crack.
For four years GS1, the European body responsible for bar coding and radio frequency identification (RFID), has been building up a worldwide system for swapping product data called the Global Data Synchronisation Network (GDSN).
The GDSN, which started in August 2004, now consists of 26 local data pools covering 50 countries in which suppliers deposit information about the attributes of their wares according to strict rules. In January this year, GS1 announced it had amassed details of two million products worldwide, twice as many as a year earlier.
The data is accessed by retailers and others via a global registry that acts as a kind of telephone exchange, directing calls to the appropriate data pool. Product information – tied to the 14-digit global trade identification number (GTIN) – is used in logistics, accounting and warehouse applications.
Accurately identifying goods is vital to efficient business transactions. Cash and carry firm Makro, part of the German Metro Group, says it suffers from the fact that over three per cent of its invoices contain invalid GTINs that cause failures in its systems, at a cost of nearly €1m per year.
Makro has also been experiencing problems with missing or inaccurate product dimensions which resulted in queries on an average 500 orders per year. The company says the errors also cause problems in planning shelves and in warehouse operations.
The company has started to use data synchronisation to align supplier product data so that just one description for each item is used in the supply chain. The first step is to carry out data cleansing to eliminate errors from data already stored about products.
Although Makro has not completed the move to data synchronisation, it already sees improvements, according to Philip Steedman, the firm”s e-commerce manager. Introducing new lines used to take a week because of the time involved in gathering information and filling in forms. Now the exercise can be completed in 24 hours with the help of the GDSN.
However, both suppliers and retailers have been slow to adopt synchronisation. One of the reasons is that getting accurate data posted in the pools involves a lot of hard work. Information has to be collected from different parts of a manufacturing organisation and that can be quite labour intensive because individual products must be weighed and measured.
Another reason that suppliers have been dragging their feet is that retailers, who call the shots in such matters, have been slow to insist that they put data on the GDSN. This despite the fact that some of the leading lights in supply chain automation including Wal-Mart, Metro and Ahold are committed to synchronisation.
In the UK some 1,000 suppliers have joined the network and nine retailers including Boots, Comet and Spar. Originally, GS1 had forecast that there would be 3,000 suppliers and 300,000 products on its books in the UK by the end of 2005. The organisation admits its estimates have been over optimistic.
Significantly, Tesco, the UK”s biggest supermarket company, is not a part of the UK data pool. When GDSN was launched in 2005, Tesco”s IT director highlighted the question of data quality. Smaller and medium-sized companies, he said, had not taken steps to address the issue.
Accurate data is critical to making data synchronisation work, especially when data is used in important business documents such as orders and invoices. Often quoted research by management consultancy AT Kearney revealed some time ago that a third of data in retail catalogues contains errors.
When the company looked at invoices it discovered 60 per cent contained errors because of mistakes in the data used to draw them up. As much of 3.5 per cent of sales are lost each year due to supply chain inefficiencies, AT Kearny concluded. These glitches cost between €60 to €90 to rectify, said the consultancy.
GS1 is aware of the data quality problem. When it set up its UK operation it contracted a company called Udex to clean up errors such as spelling mistakes, bad punctuation and wrong abbreviations. Product data also suffers from multiple variations of the same product and missing or incorrect weights.
Data pools store data about a minimum 52 aspects of a product such as its weight, dimensions, GTIN and so on. The price of a product is not a compulsory part of the mix, although individual trading partners may exchange price information.
The information held in the synchronisation network has many uses. Retailers can use it to learn more about their business. One retailer has looked up information about packaging to estimate the amount of cardboard and plastic waste the company is likely to have to deal with.
Suppliers adopt data synchronisation to ensure that customers use the right GTINs and to simplify the process of informing customers about new lines. R & R Ice Cream, one of Europe”s largest ice cream makers, says data synchronisation has been a key factor in driving up service levels over the last three years. The company introduces a new product or change to an existing product each day in the fast changing ice cream business. It has to supply customers with details of up to 20 ingredients in a typical product.
R & R has used the UK data pool to provide more accurate information to customers at a lower cost. ”Because the data we deliver to customers is more accurate and they are using the correct GTINs we see fewer failures and exceptions when getting products listed in our EDI-based ordering and invoicing,” notes Bemrose.
For now GS1 is concentrating on the fast moving consumer goods that have been allocated GTINs. The EPC code that is used for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is not included. ”At the moment EPC is not part of the solution because it is not as developed (as GTIN codes),” says Besford.
However, experts point out that synchronisation is also vital to effective use of RFID. ”You can”t use RFID if data synchronisation is not 100 per cent,” says Eddy van Herbruggen, group specialist RFID at services company Zetes. ”I have no doubt it will happen, although that may be some time off.” But for now, GS1 is concentrating on persuading more retailers and suppliers of the business benefits of data synchronisation.

Jason Fletcher is associate professor of health policy at Yale University and one of the report’s authors.
The Texas law that guarantees admission into a public university for students who graduate in the top ten percent of their high school class “lives up to some of the expectations of its proponents,” but there is little evidence that the law leads to notable increases in diversity.
That is one of the key findings of a new study released this week by the National Bureau of Economic Research, or NBER.
The study, titled Tracing the Effects of Guaranteed Admission Through the College Process: Evidence from a Policy Discontinuity in the Texas 10% Plan, also found little evidence that the law leads to “mismatched” students from relatively weak high schools crowding out more “deserving” students from higher quality high schools.
“The policy may increase diversity — versus having no policy — and does not seem to be bringing students to campus who then struggle and fail out of school,” one of the study’s authors, Jason Fletcher, associate professor of health policy at Yale University, told Diverse.
Fletcher noted that the purpose of the study was not to evaluate the Ten Percent Plan as policy, but rather to compare the decisions, behavior and various outcomes, such as GPA and four-year graduation rates, for students who were barely eligible for the Top Ten Percent plan versus those who were barely ineligible. The study relied upon data from the two flagship universities, UT Austin and Texas A&M University.
“We find some weak evidence that the 10 percent rule increases minority enrollment at UT, otherwise we cannot detect differences in the characteristics between enrolled students who graduated just inside or just outside the top high school decile,” the study states. “At A&M there is no evidence that students with a prior admissions guarantee perform worse than similar students without guaranteed admission.
Contacted by Diverse for reaction, some experts said the study’s findings are consistent with what other research has found, but that meant different things based on their respective views, and each expert offered caveats with their response.
“This looks like an interesting, though preliminary, contribution to the literature,” said UCLA law professor Rick Sander, an adherent of mismatch theory, which holds that minority students admitted under race-conscious admissions tend not to fare as well because they are less academically prepared than their peers.
Sander said he was not surprised that the study’s finding of mismatched students under the Ten Percent Plan was small because of the relative similarity between the two studied groups — those just above and those just below the threshold of being in the top 10 percent of their class. The Ten Percent Plan was meant in part to substitute for race-conscious admissions and still broaden diversity.
“It’s important to note that this is a working paper and has not been peer-reviewed, so one should be cautious about reporting any of its results,” Sander said of the new NBER study.
senior fellow at the Century Foundation, had a different take.
“The authors conclude that the Texas 10 percent plan does not result in much mismatch of students, a conclusion that is consistent with other research findings,” Kahlenberg said.
For example, he said, 29 and 6 percent of students admitted under the top 8 percent plan were Hispanic and Black, respectively, compared with 14 and 5 percent in the discretionary admission program.
Similarly, he said, 23 percent admitted under the top 8 percent plan were from households making less than $40,000 a year, compared with 10 percent under the discretionary admissions program.
The NBER study comes as the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision in a higher education affirmative action case known as Fisher v. UT Austin. In the case, Abigail Fisher, a White student, claims she was wrongfully denied entry into the Fall 2008 entering class in favor of minority applicants with lesser credentials.


If you got a group of economists in a room in 2013, and asked them if they had to name one factor- just one, as to what brought down the world economy in 2008, there might be quite a few diverse answers to the question. Many of those in the room might say that out of control speculation, in stocks and other investments had caused the devastating economic collapse when the economic bubble burst. This could certainly be justified when describing the tech bubble that burst just before 9/11. Others would say that it was 9/11 itself, with the accompanying deflation of consumer confidence- not to mention, right after the terror attacks, a basic fear of gathering in public places, such as shopping malls.
But I’d be willing to bet that the number one cause of the economic debacle that started in the last decade would be attributable to the mortgage meltdown. It was bad mortgages that brought down Lehman Brothers to a great extent, and put insurance giant AIG on the ropes due to the large stake they had in insuring mortgages. And of course there was the tremendous collapse in real estate values. As the U.S. went, so went the rest of the industrialized world, as many foreign investors has placed their money in what seemed like a rock solid investment- U.S. mortgage-backed securities.
To take this line of thinking to an even more micro level, it is widely felt by many economist and analysts that what brought down the mortgage market was fraud. There was fraud in the fact that many who applied for a mortgage made up their financial profiles out of mid air. It’s hard to believe now, but as late as 2008, an individual or a couple could finance a home purchase strictly by stating their income, their liquid assets, and put next to nothing down with a credit score as low as 580! This is thought of a preposterous today, but until the middle of 2008 it was a common occurrence. And by the way, the mortgages that were obtained with these types of fantasy financials might very well have allowed for a balance that rapidly increased and/or monthly payments that could quadruple in a single month under the perfect storm of circumstances.
It’s seems harsh today to blame to near collapse of world markets solely on the U.S. mortgage industry, but bad mortgage loans made on fraudulent information certainly played a major; if not the major, role in the economic meltdown.
Mortgage lenders have learned plenty from their mistakes, however. In 2013, it is virtually impossible to obtain a mortgage loan without documenting the borrowers’ financial profile every which way from Sunday. It might even be said that in today’s environment, lenders are overbearing on their insistence for documentation on the part of those who would like to borrower money. Overbearing it may be, but in light of the aftermath of the mortgage-induced economic crisis that still affects us today, it is also understandable.
There is really no room for fraud in today’s mortgage market. I’m not just talking in a legal sense here, but also from an auditing sense as well. There are so many checks and cross-checks in mortgage lending today, that fraud is next to impossible to pull off.
Let’s take income verification for an example. Whereas pre-2008 a borrower could state their income and have the lender believe whatever they were told, today a borrower must present their income taxes for the last 2 years, and these taxes are audited between the lender and the IRS. The buyer must sign a form called the 4506-T, which allows the IRS to provide transcripts of the borrowers’ 1040’s. The numbers on transcripts must match what is on the 1040’s supplied to the lender, or there is no deal. Even if the transcribed tax returns would otherwise qualify the borrower, the fact that they don’t match the 1040’s presumes that there has been an attempt at fraud and the borrower will have no recourse with the lender. In the case where taxes were amended, most lenders will not accept a 1040-X if it was filed after the initial loan application; and furthermore, the IRS will not usually verify amended returns for the lender for 6 to 12 weeks after they are filed. And of course, increasing the income on an amended return will almost always increase the tax liability to the tax payer. Let’s just say that filing an amended return in the midst of applying for a mortgage loan is, well… messy!
Then there’s the question of assets. A lender will want to verify that the borrower actually has the money that they need to close a real estate transaction, and there are some sources of funds that are not acceptable to most lenders. If a buyer’s bank statement indicates a deposit that cannot be linked to his payroll that deposit will have to be explained and sourced. Maybe the large deposit was a tax refund. In the rare instance that the refund is not direct deposited (in which the bank statement would indicate that it was derived from the U.S. Treasury), then a copy of the tax refund check would have to be displayed to the lender. Deposits that derive from strictly cash for the most part must be discounted; that is, removed from the total of acceptably certified funds. For instance if a borrower shows $15,000 in a bank account, but $5,000 can be explained only as a cash deposit, the borrower generally gets credit for only $10,000. If the extra $5,000 is needed to close the real estate transaction, then it must be gotten from another acceptable source. In many cases this can be a gift from a family member. But even then, the donor must fill out a gift letter and supply his bank statement to show an ability to provide the gift. This can be a severe nuisance, especially to the donor. But it also guards to some extent against money laundering; that is, having the borrower supply non-sourced funds to the donor only to be given back to the buyer in the form of a gift. It’s not going to happen!
In regards to appraisals, those who originate loans, and those staff people who support them, cannot order appraisals. In the old days, pre-2008, a loan officer could call up his favorite appraiser and ask him to appraise a property and to hit a certain value. Most appraisers were honest, but there were a few here and there that, out of fear of not getting future business from the loan originator, would massage a number to make it come out just right. These days an appraisal must be ordered by someone within the mortgage company that will not benefit based on whether or not the appraisal comes in at value. Appraisers are usually picked in rotation from a panel or gotten from appraisal agencies that work with the lender. And in most companies, loan originators are not allowed to have any salient conversations with the appraiser as to property value. In the case of a purchase, the appraiser will obtain a copy of the buyer/seller contract, but influence on the part of the originating party is severely reduced or even prohibited.
Another important aspect of mortgage fraud prevention that was not around in force a few years back are Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems reports; otherwise known as MERS reports. These reports are particularly adept at finding other properties that may be owned by the borrowers but were not reported on the loan application. This would apply to properties that are free and clear- even out of state vacant land. If other properties are revealed in the report, they must be accounted for by the buyer and taken into consideration in regards to the borrower’s qualifications.
It’s simply amazing that there are still those who attempt to pull off mortgage fraud. Every month, many of us in the mortgage business received electronic newsletters from a couple of prominent real estate law firms that tell us who has just been indicted for mortgage fraud throughout the U.S. and its territories. How anyone thinks that can get away with this is beyond me. All the time, in these newsletters, we hear of people going to prison for 10 to 20 years or more, and being fined 100’s of thousands of dollars for being implicit in mortgage fraud. Sometimes I think that the perpetrators’ prison sentences should be doubled just for the stupidity that they demonstrate!
I’ve heard from many people, and sometimes feel myself, that mortgage lenders are a bit overbearing in their zealousness to stop mortgage fraud. I’m mean; let’s face it, just because person deposits cash into their checking account doesn’t mean that they’re trying to pull of the crime of the century! But as I’ve said many times before, the key to getting though that gauntlet that is very often a part of obtaining a mortgage loan in just knowing that rules that are in play. This is where an experienced mortgage professional can be invaluable to prospective borrowers. The housing market is way up, in California at least. So there are an awful lot of folks who are succeeding in financing home purchases. It can be done with a professional team comprised of a knowledgeable lender and experienced Realtor®. There are plenty of examples out there.


At the culmination of their undergraduate careers, SUNY New Paltz’s newest Liberal Arts & Sciences graduates received their degrees before an audience of their families, friends, faculty mentors and College staff at the Saturday Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony, on May 20.
Nearly 2,000 total undergraduate degrees were distributed over the course of a two-day Commencement weekend on the New Paltz campus, as students representing the graduating classes of August 2016, December 2016, January 2017, May 2017 and August 2017 took advantage of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to don cap and gown and be formally recognized for their hard work.
The participants at the Saturday Ceremony spent their time at New Paltz developing expertise in a wide array of fields and subjects, including psychology, English, digital media and journalism, Black Studies, communication disorders and economics.
These newest alumni of SUNY New Paltz hail from diverse backgrounds and are looking ahead to a variety of career, graduate school and life paths, but will forever have this place and this time in common.
“This ceremony is a centuries-old tradition to formally and joyfully acknowledge the close of one chapter in our graduates’ lives and the beginning of the next,” said President Donald P. Christian. “In a few moments, today’s graduates will no longer be our students. Instead, equipped with the intellectual tools, habits of mind and inquisitive spirit they’ve developed at New Paltz, they are embarking on the next stage of their life’s voyage.
The Commencement Address at the Saturday Ceremony was given by New Paltz alumna and United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Latin America and the Caribbean Jessica Faieta ’85 (Economics/Business Administration), who shared insights from a truly international career that began when she left her home country of Ecuador to enroll at New Paltz.
“Some 30 years ago, I was standing in your shoes, on this same lawn, wearing the same cap and gown,” Faieta said. “When I look back, my life and career feels so unexpected – so full of turns and twists, victories, but also many mistakes. Careers are about trial and error, about taking risks, about perseverance, and about taking pride in every small step that you take.
Student Speaker and Salutatorian Jonathan Baez ’17 (Communication Disorders) of Monroe, N.Y., offered his peers some valuable perspective before they stepped to the stage to formally accept their degrees.
“It’s always good to have a plan, and a strong work ethic has rarely betrayed the one who employs it,” Baez said. “But it is important to remember that even the best laid plans may not pan out. Even in those spaces when life doesn’t quite go as you’d like, allow yourself the experience of what comes your way, because a full life is one in which every minute has been thoroughly inhabited.
In the anticipatory moments just before the ceremony got underway, a few grads-to-be took a moment to reflect on their time at New Paltz, and gain some perspective on the magnitude of what they have accomplished.
The Saturday Ceremony was part of a weekend-long celebration of New Paltz students’ academic fulfillment, as more than 2,500 graduate and undergraduate degree recipients were honored at Commencement ceremonies held on May 19, 20 and 21.

Cosrx Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Power Essence ($20) is yet another fabulously great Korean skincare product that’s low in coast and extremely effective. You might recall earlier this month I reviewed CosRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence which might have made you turn away in disgust. If the idea of using snail extract on your face isn’t terribly appealing yet you’re still intrigued by the highly moisturizing formula you might find Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Power Essence a better option.
I’m of the strong belief that those suffering dullness or finer lines will see a smoother, brighter complexion if they inject a healthy amount of moisture into their diet. I can’t say I have finer lines on my face yet unless you count under my eyes. I do however, suffer from dullness and I always find that the more moisture I’m using the better my complexion looks.
Cosrx Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Power Essence is one of those star products that will not only hydrate your skin but also, helps to retail moisture and that to me is very important.
Finding a product to hydrate your skin quickly and effectively is a pretty easy task! Moisturizers are loaded with ingredients like glycerin, jojoba, argan, and ceramides to smooth, soften, and hydrate your skin. But sometimes results can be fleeting depending on the ingredients in the formula and your skin is back to being dry again if you aren’t consistent with application. Find a product that retails moisture is key. You want something that not only hydrates your skin but also helps you to retain that moisture and even works to draw more moisture into your ingredient.
In recent years, Hyaluronic Acid/Sodium Hyaluronate has become a star product for moisture retention. This particular ingredient acts like a magnet, drawing moisture into your skin and holding it. Apparently it can hold up to six liters of water and it does so without being heavy, greasy, or oily.
Cosrx’s Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Power Essence is a thin runny gel-texture that has a slightly tacky texture with absolutely no fragrance. The thing most fans of Cosrx is the fact they don’t include a lot of fillers in their skincare. They include the very important basics and that’s it. And in doing so, they create a very effective formula. One of the few ingredients in this essence is Sodium Hyaluronate which acts to draw moisture into your skin. It’s a very gentle formula that when used daily will improve the texture of skin as well as ease dullness while hydrating dull, dry, and dehydrated skin types. It’ll work across the board for a variety of skin types because the formula is so gentle and doesn’t create unnecessary oil or shine nor will it clog pores. Of course, everyone’s skin varies but this is a formula that should work for many.
You do want to remember to seal this product so, using it alone isn’t going to be as effective as using it in conjunction with your own moisturizer. Apply one to two pumps to your face and gentle place your palms against your skin to allow the product to absorb. It does have a slightly tacky feel at first but once absorbed that tackiness disappears. After application, apply your favorite moisturizer.
Smooth, soft, well hydrated skin that will be well protected against environmental damage (but please don’t forget your SPF as well!) and even acts to reverse damages caused by the environment.
If your skin is looking a little dull lately I’d wildly suggest trying this out for yourself and seeing the visible difference.
Cosrx Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Power Essence is available now at ulta.com and comes with a Muse Approval.
Have you tried their Galactomyces? I’m curious about it, but since my skin is dry, maybe this HA essence will work better.
I have but I really didn’t notice any major brightening from it!
Do you prefer this over the Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Hyaluronic Acid Lotion – or are they not comparable products/the same step in a routine?
Different textures, different formulas, Monica! This is more a runnier gel and it absorbs a little easier. Hada Labo Lotion (not milk) is literally a liquid and a lot sticker, tackier. In comparison, both hold and retain water well but you might benefit more from Hada Labo if you have drier skin because it really is a supremely good pick for retaining moisture and keeping skin plush and pumped! I prefer Hada Labo in the evening and Cosrx in the AM as it wears better under makeup versus Hada Labo’s formula that takes a little longer for application and also to set.
How does this compare to the Hada Labo Gokujyun HA Lotion?

Hey Muse! I was just shopping at rose rose shop earlier and she has all her cosrx stuff 30% off. I’m not affiliated, just an enabler. 🙂 Thought I would let you know!
Oh exciting!! Have you tried their Cosrx Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream? If not, will you? I would love to hear your opinion on it.
I have 😀 I’m actually going to try and follow up with a review on it this week 😀 maybe today!
Prob will try this after I finish the Hada Labo orange top. Adore Cosrx. Low ingredient lists are good for those of us with reactive skin. Easier to figure out what causes the problem. And being anti-fragrance in skincare is not easy, when you lost your sense of smell. Great tip, Siangali. Thanks.
Ms. Muse, I am a 40 something with generally “normal” to slightly occasionally dry skin , but dessicated under eyes. By the end of a 15 hour day, my face generally looks and feels kind of tight and my foundation can get a bit flaky. Do you think I would be better off with the Cosrx snail musin, hyaluronic acid, or both? If both, one in the a.m. and one in the p.m., or can you layer them without feeling as sticky as a movie theatre floor? Thanks!
My pleasure 🙂 Let me know how it works out!
Good morning, Isabella. I ended up buying the Cosrx snail mucin at Ulta, using points (win!) and liked it, so I got the hyaluronic acid power essence from Cosrx also. So far, they seem to be great additions to me skin care routine. I am using: (a.m.) hydrating toner, AHA/BHA toner, snail mucin, antioxidant serum, and moisturizer with SPF. (P.m.) hydrating toner, hyaluronic acid essence, retinol serum mixed with a drop or 2 of jojoba oil, and moisturizer mixed with a drop or two of argan, Maryland, and/or rose hip oil. found that adding oils to my routine at night really reduced the amount of oil my skin produces during the day, such that I am no longer combination/oily, but normal to dry. I actually prefer normal to dry, because my make up where’s much better throughout the day. The addition of the two Cosrx essences really seems to be helping to avoid my skin getting to dry by the end of a long workday. Thanks for the reviews! Two thumbs up!
Ugh, Siri. Marula, not Maryland oil.
You say to “seal” this product with a moisturizer. I use facial oils every night after my essences is that ok? After i let the oil sink in I follow with an aloe Vera gel. Would I still get the benefits of this hyaluronic acid essence doing this.
Can you please suggest a moisturizer to use for combination skin type, after applying that cosrx hydra power essence? Thanks!
I’m not really sure, I have dry skin so most of my recs come from that place! I’m sorry, wish I knew a good combo moisturizer but honestly, at a loss since I shop dry skin everything!
So what’s your nightly skin routine and does it differ during the day? I live in Colorado and the dryness/ lack of humidity is killing my skin! I actually peel in the winter!
Nightly and daily are most definitely different. I rotate a lot of products but this is mainly what I use in the evening.
laneige firming sleeping mask (I rotate sleeping masks often but right now this is what I’ve been using).
I haven’t tried the ordinary can’t compare 🙁 sorry!
I’m sorry! No thanks needed, I didn’t do anything 🙂 <3!

I once again hopped on the Comic DNA podcast for my fifth time as a guest to talk about the Image comic SkullKickers by Jim Zub, Edwin Huang, and Misty Coats. As I say in the podcast, SK was definitely an inspiration for Clusterf@#k and I enjoy this comic a great deal.
If you haven’t checked out this great mix of adventure, comedy, and fantasy, now would be the time to do so. It is even online as a webcomic and available via all standard comic purchasing ways.
Check out the podcast and if the book sounds up your alley, pick it up. I feel like you will enjoy it.


Director Jean-Stephane Sauvaire brings us Johnny Mad Dog, the gritty and gruelling story of an ongoing civil war in Africa. Johnny Mad Dog and his young army shouldn't be fighting, they're all 15 years or younger with the weight of the world on their shoulders, their self-proclaimed mission is to unseat the government. The platoon of soldiers wear odd outfits and have given themselves odd nicknames like No Good Advice. The shots that follow show the realistic reality of war.

View Full Version : http headers added to Ajax request end up in "Access-Control-Request-Headers"
Are you trying to make an Ajax request to a server with a different origin? Sounds like you're straying into a CORS request to me.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean. It is a request to a different server than the one that served up the original page (though it is within the same domain).
The same domain isn't really relevant from the point of view of the browser's same origin policy.
Go back a couple of years and Ajax requests were not allowed to be made to a different server, you'd have had to use JSON-P instead.
Recently browsers have introduced something called CORS (cross-origin resource sharing). This is only available in certain browsers so you should be careful to assess your requirements before using it. To ensure security is maintained there are some extra restrictions on what you can and can't do. In all cases the server must be configured to return appropriate headers to allow the requests.

While the poor dream of having riches, the wealthy long for simplicity.
If there’s one thing you can count on (besides death and taxes), it’s the desire to “get rich quick.” Why do you think lottery fever shows no sign of cooling off? Millions of people buy lottery tickets for no other reason than to instantly acquire unimaginable riches.
What a hopeless illusion! Nevermind that you have a greater chance of getting struck by lighting while standing on your head in a bowl of corn flakes than winning the lottery. Quick riches never did anyone any good. They certainly never brought anyone happiness.
We’ve never been rich, so how do we know that? Simple. We’ve never heard anyone say, “I’m rich, and I’m finally happy.” Instead, we’ve heard stuff like, “Wealth is a burden,” or “I wish my life were a lot simpler.” The truth is, wealth can do a lot (both good and bad), but it inevitably complicates your life. There’s nothing wrong with wealth (and neither is there any dishonor in proverty). What matters is your contentment with what you have.

An account of the decade-long conflict between humankind and hordes of the predatory undead is told from the perspective of dozens of survivors who describe in their own words the epic human battle for survival.
The subject of this book is Shakespeare’s investigation of religious ideas and phenomena that, from the Church’s perspective, range from traditional orthodox belief to radical unorthodoxy. The book is the first to suggest that Shakespeare accommodates both secular and religious readings by embedding them simultaneously within his plays.
In his virtuosic new book noted cultural critic Mark Seltzer shows how suspense, as art form and form of life, depicts and shapes the social systems that organize our modern world. Modernity's predicament, Seltzer writes, is a society so hungry for reality that it cannot stop describing itself, and that makes for a world that continuously establishes itself by staging its own conditions. Employing the social theories of Georg Simmel, Erving Goffman, Niklas Luhmann, and Peter Sloterdijk, Seltzer shows how suspense novels, films, and performance art by Patricia Highsmith, Tom McCarthy, Cormac McCarthy, J. G. Ballard, Karl Ove Knausgaard, and others outline how we currently live and reveal the stress-points and mood-systems of the modern epoch. In its focus on social games, depictions of violent and explosive persons, along with its cast of artists, reporters, detectives, and others who observe and report and reenact, the suspense mode creates and recreates modern systems of action and autonomy, and defines the self-turned world's practices and aesthetics. By epitomizing a reflexive, self-legislating, and autonomous world, a suspense art with humans in the systems epoch provides the models and sets the rules for our modern, official world.

While many folks are still debating the specific financial pain the carbon tax will inflict on everyday Albertans, virtually every economist and academic agrees on one thing: the carbon tax won't make Albertans change their behaviour and adopt so-called "low carbon lifestyles". The carbon tax is simply a hidden consumption tax. While some politicians talk about "revenue neutral" carbon pricing, the NDP is using this tax boost government revenues to pay for their bad decisions. They have already increased corporate taxes, income taxes, and taxes on alcohol. Their new carbon tax could be described as a tax on keeping your house warm during winter and your car filled with enough gas to get you to work.
And let's remember - it's a tax they didn't mention once in their campaign platform in the last election. They have no mandate from Albertans to bring in what is the single largest tax increase in Alberta's history.
Last month the Fraser Institute published a stody showing that Alberta under the NDP has sunk to the 45th best place to invest in oil and gas in North America. Today they revealed that where Alberta was once the lowest taxed jurisdiction in North America, it is now the 16th highest. Who will choose Alberta as a place to do business under this government? Our competition is thrilled, the NDP is sending jobs, investment, and opportunity across the borders to BC and Saskatchewan.
We simply can't continue in this direction. We must take pride in our industry, unite under a competent, united, principled alternative to the NDP and bring back the Alberta Advantage.
And let's axe the carbon tax!

Last week we discussed the basic mechanics of the thesis statement, focusing primarily on The Magic Thesis Statement and brainstorming ideas for a concise, convincing thesis. This week I’d like to introduce a concept that will make coming up with that thesis statement even easier: motive.
This entry was posted in Writing and tagged essays, thesis statement on November 11, 2013 by Kathleen McGunagle.
You’ve glimpsed its name between the pages of (maybe) your tenth-grade English grammar book. Your teacher might have written it on the board several times. Most probable of all, it has appeared numerous times in glaring red letters in the margin of your essays, right next to that first paragraph. That’s right: the thesis statement.
Most students shiver at the very name. But I want to prove to you that the thesis statement is not worth shivering over. It is certainly fundamental to every academic essay, and you will spend the rest of your time in school refining it as a skill. (Trust me; I’m about to graduate college and have only just figured it out!) Nonetheless, the thesis statement is quite simple conceptually. Starting to understand it now will make all of those future essays much, much easier.

Whitewashed houses, blue windows, small fishing ports, sandy beaches and many windmills - this is the landscape of Paros. This attractive island of the Cyclades had kept its secrets until the beginning of this century when mass tourists discovered it and photos of the island started to appear in magazines and websites. Today photos of the scenic Naoussa port of Paros can be seen in all articles about the Cyclades group.
Paros is located in the middle of the group and it is very close to Naxos. It is connected with daily ferries to the ports of Piraues, Rafina and Lavrio on mainland Greece, and to many other islands of the group so getting on Paros by sea is very easy. There are also links to some of the North Aegean islands (Ikaria, Fourni and Samos) and to the Dodecanese (once or twice a week in the summer). The ferries arrive at the capital Parikia, on the west coast, and the small airport of the island is in the south part. Paros is very well developed for tourists and it offers numerous hotels and places to stay.
Traveling around Paros is easy. The island has a good road network and almost no highlands, except in the middle. The coastal road encircles the entire island and the distance from the northernmost to the southernmost part of Paros is about 30 km. Parikia, the capital, is the largest settlement of the island but Naoussa is the one that you see on most photos. Naoussa is the old capital of Paros, famous for its picturesque fishing port and old quarter with maze-like streets. It is also a place popular among artists and craftsman, and plenty of shops there sell original hand-made souvenirs and clothes. Other popular seaside villages are Piso Livadi, Aliki and Parasporos. The inner villages are recommended for a walk, especially Lefkes, Marpissa and Kostos.
Paros is very rich in beaches and almost all of them are sandy, with shallow water. There are both organized beaches with beach bars, entertainment and water sports, and more isolated ones where people rarely come. The southwest coast of Paros is known as a kite spot due to the north Meltemi wind, and the long beach of Chrysi Akti (Golden Coast) in the east is popular among surfers.
The small island of Antiparos lies just 1 one km off Paros and its southwest coast. It feels like a part of Paros but yet it is a distinct place with its own character. Boats to Antiparos leave from the harbor of Pounta every 20 minutes in the summer. On Antiparos you will find one main village with tavernas, cafes and hotels, and beautiful small coves where you can enjoy privacy on the beach are scattered all over the island. Some small hotels and villas can be found on the beaches, too. The main village is also called Kastro because it was built around the walls of an ancient Venetians castle, the ruins of which can still be seen. Another interesting place on the island are its sea caves (reachable only by boat).


Love to gorge on chocolates? According to a research, consuming up to six bars of chocolate a week may lower the risk of developing a common and dangerous type of irregular heartbeat linked with higher risk of stroke, heart failure, cognitive decline, dementia, and death by 20 per cent.
Atrial fibrillation also known as heart flutter affects more than 33 million people worldwide, with one in four adults likely to develop it at some point during the life course.
The study showed that men and women who ate one to three servings per month had a 10 per cent lower rate of atrial fibrillation.
While those who ate one serving per week had a 17 per cent lower rate, on the other hand those who ate two to six servings per week had a 20 per cent lower rate.
“Our study adds to the accumulating evidence on the health benefits of moderate chocolate intake and highlights the importance of behavioural factors for potentially lowering the risk of arrhythmias,” said lead author Elizabeth Mostofsky, from Harvard Chan School in the US.
“Despite the fact that most of the chocolate consumed by the study participants likely had relatively low concentrations of potentially protective ingredients, we still observed a significant association between eating chocolate and a lower risk of atrial fibrillation — suggesting that even small amounts of cocoa consumption can have a positive health impact,” she added.
For the study, published in the journal Heart, the team included 55,502 (26,400 men and 29,100 women) participants, aged between 50 and 64.
“Eating excessive amounts of chocolate is not recommended because many chocolate products are high in calories from sugar and fat and could lead to weight gain and other metabolic problems. But moderate intake of chocolate with high cocoa content may be a healthy choice,” Mostofsky noted.

This hurricane was one of the most devastating hurricanes in American history, if not the most. This hurricane started out on August 23, 2005 and by the time it was done almost two thousand people were dead and damage estimates could be as high as two hundred billion dollars. In both lives and money, this was one of the most devastating hurricanes for the United States ever. As far as hurricane categories go, Katrina was a five.
This hurricane was a category five storm that hit South Florida on August 24, 1992. Winds were clocked at one hundred and sixty five miles per hour, and caused thirty billion dollars in damage at the time. South Florida was devastated, and many buildings and homes were completely demolished. At the time Hurricane Andrew was considered the costliest hurricane ever to hit the USA.
This hurricane started in September of 1975, and was responsible for twenty one deaths and more than one billion dollars at the time. Winds reached one hundred and fifty six miles an hour, and this was the first serious hurricane that had managed to affect this area, so it was unexpected.
