PETITION: Call on Catholic university president to cancel Planned Parenthood fundraiser
An official campus group of Loyola Marymount University (LMU), the Women in Politics group, is scheduled to host a fundraising event on behalf of Planned Parenthood THIS COMING FRIDAY, November 5th, 2021.
Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which calls on LMU's president, Dr. Timothy Snyder, to cancel the event.
This decision should not be too hard to make.
As most people know, Planned Parenthood kills more unborn babies by abortion than any other organization in the United States - more than 330,000 per year (latest stats, 2017).
So, by giving Planned Parenthood space on the university's campus for a fundraiser, Loyola Marymount University would be tacitly endorsing the abortion behemoth, to students, alumni, staff, and the general public.
But, Planned Parenthood must be opposed, not endorsed!
And, it's not only we who are saying this, but the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
Indeed, the USCCB has produced an excellent, updated (2019) fact-sheet on Planned Parenthood.
The headings of the bishops' fact-sheet, which are reproduced below, explain exactly why Planned Parenthood must be opposed by all Catholics and people of good will:
1. PPFA is the largest abortion provider in the U.S.
2. Every Planned Parenthood affiliate must perform abortions.
3. Planned Parenthood provides 28 times more abortions than birth-oriented services.
4. Planned Parenthood promotes risky RU-486 abortions that have killed young women.
5. Planned Parenthood fights even modest laws to reduce or regulate abortions.
6. Planned Parenthood doesn't believe in a "right to choose" against abortion.
7. Planned Parenthood is not "pro-choice" for women.
8. Planned Parenthood's role in serving women's health is compromised at best, and is better taken over by others.
9. "Nonprofit" Planned Parenthood reaps enormous revenues, including tax revenues.
10. Even as Planned Parenthood's government funding has increased, the number of medical services it provides has decreased—but not abortions.
11. Planned Parenthood promotes risky "emergency contraception" to minors.
12. Planned Parenthood has promoted abortions worldwide, even where it is illegal.
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition!
In the context of a "fundraiser," number 9 on the bishops' list must be given special attention. To reiterate: "Nonprofit" Planned Parenthood reaps enormous revenues, including tax revenues (i.e., taxpayer dollars).
LMU proclaims itself to be "institutionally committed to Roman Catholicism," which is totally opposed to abortion and the promotion of abortion. And, LMU also claims that one pillar of its mission is to be at "the service of faith and the promotion of justice," which, again, is diametrically opposed to abortion and the promotion of abortion. [See the university's website below to read more.]
Therefore, LMU President, Timothy Snyder, should be encouraged to do the right thing and cancel this event which is an affront to the Church and to genuine justice.
It is clear that by allowing a fundraiser for the United States' largest abortion franchise to take place on campus, LMU would not only be causing grave scandal to its students, alumni, staff and the general public, but the university would also be going against its own principles.
Finally, it must be noted, here, that about two years ago, the president of another Jesuit-run university (Seattle University), Fr. Stephen Sundborg, SJ, had references to Planned Parenthood removed from his school's health website.
We now call on President Snyder to emulate Fr. Sundborg by canceling the scheduled Planned Parenthood fundraiser.
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING today!
After signing, please take a few minutes to call Loyola Marymount to politely, but firmly, voice your opposition to the university hosting a Planned Parenthood fundraiser on campus. Thank you!
The best number for President Snyder's office is: (310) 338-2775

We, the undersigned, urge you to take immediate action to cancel a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood which is scheduled to occur on the campus of Loyola Marymount University, this coming Friday, November 5th.
As you know, Planned Parenthood kills more unborn babies, by abortion, than any other organization in the United States - more than 330,000 per year (latest stats, 2017).
So, by giving Planned Parenthood space for a fundraiser, using university facilities, Loyola Marymount University would be tacitly and scandalously endorsing the abortion behemoth, to students, alumni, staff and the general public.
Loyola Marymount University students, alumni and staff deserve better than Planned Parenthood, and so do unborn babies.
We, the undersigned, urge you to take quick action to stop this event from taking place on your campus. May God reward you!


Ok, so most stereos, computers and television sets usually come with their own speakers. But what if you want to improve the volume or sound quality of your audio?
This is when a new amp or soundcard can come in handy. Let's start by explaining what exactly each one does and how it can be used to boost your audio experience.
An audio amplifier or 'amp' is an electronic device which amplifies low-power audio signals to a level suitable for driving loudspeakers. It is the final stage in a typical audio playback chain.
These low-power audio signals are composed primarily of frequencies between 20 hertz and 20,000 hertz, which is the human range of hearing, although this isn't something you really need to worry about. An audio amplifier can be used in conjunction with your stereo or television and a set of loud speakers in order to give increased sound volume and quality. It is becoming a mainstay in modern home cinema and audio.
A sound card serves much the same function as an amp, but is used in conjunction with computer equipment such as your home PC. Sound cards usually use a digital to analogue converter, which converts digital data into an analogue format. The output signal is then connected to headphones, speakers, recording equipment or even an audio amp for increased volume.
Buying a new soundcard for your PC can greatly improve the quality of the audio generated by your computer whether you're playing video games, listening to music or even if you just enjoy that friendly Windows start-up tune.
There are several different classes of amplifier, the most common being A, B, A/B and C. Each class has a slightly different method of amplifying your audio signal and provides different results. Let's have a look at the 4 most common classes.
Class B – The majority of modern audio amplifiers are Class B, as they are much more efficient. Although they generally produce more distortion, modern technologies have reduced this to the point where it can barely be detected by the human ear.
Class A/B – Class A/B was created in order to take the best parts of both methods in order to reduce the distortion created by Class B amps. Unfortunately, this method creates its own different form of distortion and so Class B technology remains the most commonly used.
Class C - Class C amplifiers conduct less than 50% of the input signal and the distortion as when the output is high, but high efficiencies (up to 90%) are possible. Some applications, megaphones for example, can tolerate the distortion. They are much more commonly used in RF transmitters, and do not make particularly good amps for stereos or television sets.
When it comes down to choosing the actual make and model of amp, it is largely down to personal preference. Many people in fact believe that all amps sound fairly similar, but experts insist that there are subtle differences which should help to determine your choice when buying your new amp. Always insist on a demonstration and choose the amp that suits you best.
A factor that might be even more important than the sound produced is the number of inputs and outputs available on the unit itself. Make sure it has enough inputs to take in all your applications (TV, stereo etc.) and enough outputs to facilitate all your speakers.
So how do you find the best sound cards? Well, the truth is, it is largely down to brand and price. Creative Labs are still widely considered to be the best manufacturers, followed closely by Audigy 2. Generally, the more you spend, the better the quality of the audio produced. As with amps it is also important to take audio outputs and inputs into consideration.
While a lot of low level sound cards will only come with 1 or 2 of each, higher end products will come with an array of different ways of feeding audio both in and out of your PC. Again this is a matter of your personal requirements and preference. It is also worth remembering that sound cards can have an adverse affect on your computer's processing power, therefore the more powerful your processor, the better the audio performance.

Robust and spicy, this cigar comes out of the Padron factory in seriously controlled quantities to ensure a flawless smoke every time. You can't go wrong with the most saught after Padron cigar around! Available in Natural and Maduro for your smoking pleasure!
This product is very rare and comes with a hand carved humidor box!
The Padron Serie 1926 line was created to honor Orlando Padron. However, until 2002, the only regular production sold were the Serie 1964 (created in 1994) and the thousand series. The Padron Serie 1926 essentially stepped up the aging (5 years) and quality of tobacco used as compared to the Serie 1964. Since 2002 (which celebrated Orlando Padron's 75th Birthday), Padron blended the Serie 1926 80 Years to celebrate Orlando Padron's 80th birthday and the 40th Anniversary cigar to commemorate 40 years of being in the cigar business.
The Padron family developed the Serie 1926 cigar in commemoration of the family's patriarch, Jose Orlando Padron`s 75th Birthday. (Jose was born in Cuba in 1926.) The cigar debuted in 2002 on Jose's 76th birthday, one year later than planned. As with all things Padron, their cigars cannot be rushed.
The Nicaraguan tobaccos used in the Padron Serie 1926 have been aged for a minimum of five long years. The 1926 Padron is a great, full-bodied, box pressed cigar with the aroma of well aged, mature tobacco right out of the box.
It's a complex smoke with perfect balance, showing flavors of chocolate, coffee, nuts and a hint of black cherry. The cigar has a finish so long it seems to never leave the palate.
The Padron Serie 1926 scored one of the highest ratings in the history of Cigar Aficionado. The 97 rating is an amazing feat for a recent-production cigar.
The 90th Anniversary Tubo marks the first time an Anniversary blend is released in a round format and was made to commemorates Jose Padron's 90th Birthday.
The Padron 1926 Series is a sophisticated 4-cigar collection of one of the world's most popular and highly acclaimed ultra-premium Maduro blends. After being aged for five years, the box-pressed masterpieces are packaged in a sophisticated cedar box. The opulent Maduro wrapper, along with the choice Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos are bursting with complex aromas and a full strength. This sampler pack is a brilliant gift idea and will be a welcomed addition to any humidor it is showcased in.
The Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series™ line was introduced in 1994 to commemorate our company's 30th anniversary. This line consists of ten sizes that are all available in sun-grown natural and maduro wrappers. All tobacco used in this limited production series is aged for four years, creating a smooth and complex flavor. In honor of the age-old Cuban tradition of box – pressing cigars, the 1964 Anniversary line was introduced as a box-pressed series. For the protection of our customers we have introduced measures to safeguard against counterfeiting with a specially designed double band featuring an individually numbered guarantee label.
The Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series™ is consistently ranked by industry experts as one of the top brands in the world.

A complex but smooth blend that has gone down in history as one of the most popular cigars in the world! A high demand item with a very special new price for the holidays. Don't miss it!
As with all cigars in this series, the Hermoso is box-pressed and hand-crafted with sun grown tobacco aged a minimum of four years, creating a smooth, complex flavor profile. The Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series is consistently ranked as one of the world's top brands.
The Hermoso – an exceptional complement to those moments best enjoyed with family and friends.
THIS CIGAR IS SPECIAL TO THE PADRON FAMILY BECAUSE THE NAME WAS CHOSEN IN HONOR OF THE DECEMBER 4TH BIRTH DATE OF SANTA BARARA, A CATHOLIC SAINT REVERED BY MANY CUBANS, OF WHOM JORGE PADRON AND FAMILY PERSONALLY CHOSE!

PE/VC investments in Q3 almost half compared to previous year quarter: Report
The decline has been attributed to a sharp fall in e-commerce investing witnessed across deal stages - $245 mn was invested in Q3 against $2.1 bn in the previous year's quarter.ET Online | October 12, 2016, 16:00 IST
NEW DELHI: Total Private Equity/Venture Capital (PE/VC) investments witnessed a 49% decline in value terms at $3.04 billion compared to $6 billion in the same quarter last year. The decline has been attributed to a sharp fall in e-commerce investing witnessed across deal stages - $245 million was invested in Q3 against $2.1 billion in the previous year's quarter.
"Though the third quarter has recorded the lowest investments in the last eight quarters, the deal street has been reasonably active," says Partner and Leader for PE, EY, Mayank Rastogi. "Some large deals are expected to close in the fourth quarter which can make up for some of the lost numbers," he added.
Big-deal activity also slowed down considerably, further contributing to the decline in the overall investment value. From a sector perspective also, most recorded a decline in both value and volume. E-commerce - which was the largest sector last year - witnessed 88% decline in value and a 67% decline in volume, conceding its top spot to real estate.
"In general, investments were expected to go down as e-commerce investing had cooled down," says Rastogi. "However, improving deal activity in sectors like real estate, infrastructure and industrials has been encouraging," he says.
Rastogi also feels that improved status of exits offers a big silver lining for the industry. Exits increased by 64% in value terms for the same period at $1.94 billion as compared to $1.18 billion in the previous year due to large strategic deals. "This trend bodes well for the long term sustainability of the PE industry in India," he concludes.

An End to the Reign of OTC Transactions: MiFID II and Transaction Reporting
Julian Korek JulianKorek
We were in little doubt that MiFID II would bring in further changes to the Transaction Reporting regime. It comes as no surprise that the proposals bring about a complete overhaul of the way financial markets operate in Europe. The European Commissioner was clear when he stated "we are putting an end to the rule of opaqueness, and an end to the reign of over the counter transactions".
How will the new proposals affect the UK transaction reporting regime?
The existing rules are to be extended in scope, content and reporting channels. Each will be further discussed below in detail. The overarching issue is that the scope of the transaction reporting regime will be extended to mirror the scope of the revised Market Abuse Directive. This makes obvious sense given that one of the main purposes of transaction reporting is to detect market manipulation and insider dealing.
The introduction of a new trading platform, namely the OTF, or organized trading facility, is a major development that will extend the scope of transaction reporting. The UK is in many ways ahead of the US on this point; we will force transparency into areas by pulling activity away from private markets (or OTC) on to new platforms or a trading facility where prices are transparent to all participants. This is because much of the 2008 crisis was focused on OTC derivative trading and the opaqueness of such trading. OTFs have been vaguely defined to avoid traders and the legal community from identifying loopholes to keep business 'private'. ESMA clearly wants to put an end to creative minds operating in this space.
The scope will be extended to financial instruments admitted to trading on MTFs and OTFs. OTC transactions are currently only reportable if they are linked to an instrument admitted to trading on a regulated market. Hence this is an extension in scope (more detail below).
The proposed changes to the content are driven by a desire for a harmonized transaction reporting regime across Europe. There are currently differences across Europe in approaches to collecting data that identifies the person who has made the underlying investment decision. It is argued that this may hamper effective detection of Market Abuse and the proposal is to extend the data to capture trader ID or to identify the algorithm if the decision was made by an automated system.
The reporting channels are discussed, including in Article 21 (9) a provision for the Commission to take steps to propose changes, including providing for transaction reports to be transmitted to a system appointed by ESMA instead of to competent authorities. This would allow all European competent authorities to have access to all – and the same – transaction reports in Europe. An effective tool for monitoring market abuse.
Finally, although it is our view that the new proposals will have a significant impact and be a further cost to firms, the combination of order and transaction data will prove to be a powerful surveillance and enforcement tool.
The existing rules are extended significantly and this will result in much greater volumes of transactions being reported to trade repositories and the FSA; a new obligation for regulated markets, MTFs and OTFs to store order data in a manner accessible to supervisors for at least five years. This will allow competent authorities to monitor for attempted market abuse as well as order book manipulation across trading venues by combining order and trade data to build and replay a full chronology of events.
The scope of transaction reporting, which was, until now, limited to financial instruments admitted to trading on a regulated market, including transactions in such instruments executed outside the market, will be substantially extended. The only financial instruments escaping the requirement will be:
instruments not admitted to trading nor traded on an MTF or OTF; instruments whose value does not depend on that of a financial instrument admitted to trading or traded on an MTF or OTF; and instrument, the trading of which do not or are not likely to have an impact on an instrument admitted to trading nor traded on an MTF or OTF.
firms will need to report on-exchange and OTC commodity, interest rate and FX derivatives. The FSA may however decide to continue to rely on certain exchanges to provide them with (at their request) on-exchange transaction data in non-security derivatives (commodity, FX and interest rate derivatives) though this is not yet established.
In order for transaction reports and stored order information to identify the client and those responsible for the transaction's execution, including computer algorithms, investment firms will need to pass this information on when sending an order to another firm. They will also have the option to report an order as if it were a transaction in case they do not wish to pass this information to other firms.
Firms will therefore have the choice to report transactions where it receives and transmits orders to a third party for execution or to pass on the necessary information to the third party for it to transaction report.
The reports shall, in particular, include details of the names and numbers of the instruments bought or sold, the quantity, the dates and times of execution, the transaction prices, a designation to identify the clients on whose behalf the investment firm has executed that transaction, a designation to identify the persons and the computer algorithms within the investment firm responsible for the investment decision and the execution of the transaction, and means of identifying the investment firms concerned.
There has been talk of a National, European or International standard to identify the parties involved in a transaction. Although this would lead to a huge data reference exercise, this is yet to be decided though ESMA will clearly drive the detailed rules through accompanying regulation called "MiFIR".
Reporting channels
The proposals allow for increased regulation of third party providers. These entities will only be approved as ARMs (approved reporting systems) if they meet Article 25 conditions and they will be subject to the same sanctions that apply to the investment firm for whom the report is made. As well as Regulated Markets, this will affect MTFs and OTFs because they will have to report transactions, including those which are executed through their systems by firms not subject to MiFIR. The dark pools will be brought into the light.
For cost and efficiency purposes, double reporting of transactions and trades under MiFID and the recently proposed reporting requirements to trade repositories (EMIR) should be avoided. Therefore, trade repositories will be required to transmit reports to the competent authorities. Firms may need to transaction report to both trade repositories and the FSA and ensure they have robust systems and controls in place to prevent duplicate reporting. The Directive waives the reporting obligation when an investment firm has already reported an OTC contract, for example, to a trade repository in accordance with EMIR.
The Commission's proposal includes a provision for direct reporting to a central EU mechanism. If these changes proposed on Thursday prove to be insufficient to achieve a complete and accurate overview of trading activity and individual positions, a review clause stipulates that two years after the entry into force of the regulation the Commission may introduce measures to require transactions to be reported to a new system appointed by ESMA instead of to a competent authority such as the FSA.
All MiFID firms may ultimately end up reporting transactions to ESMA instead of the FSA.
