Wait Till Helen Comes: A Ghost Story by Mary Downing Hahn.
I don't think I'll ever outgrown my excitement for Scholastic book club order forms. I am just a big kid. I remember combing through them, looking at the latest paperback offerings, cool if impractical school supplies, Dynamite magazine, and movie tie-in product. Through the club, I read silly young readers' adaptations of Space Camp and The Karate Kid, Part II. My best friend and I discovered The Baby-Sitters Club. And I discovered my favorite ghost story.
A few days ago, I dug out my battered paperback copy of Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn. I hadn't read it in years, but I remembered it well, probably because I read it about ten times as a fifth and sixth grader.
I loved this book as a kid. As an adult, there are things that make me giggle now. I recognize some of more stereotypical plot conventions: old church and graveyard, ruins of an old house, etc. Moreover, I wonder how these two artists can afford this move. I want to scream at them to watch Heather themselves, instead of foisting her onto poor Molly and Michael, especially since Heather is such a monstrous little brat. The ending of the book, especially Heather and Molly's relationship, seems too neat and simple. But for a kid wanting to be spooked, this book is still rather perfect. It's scary, but not too scary.
Mary Downing Hahn is best-known today for her ghost stories. When I was a bookseller, the only books by her that lined the shelves in the Young Readers section were the scary ones, including this one with its latest cover. (I placed a hold on the other book I remember from the late '80s, The Doll in the Garden. Hope it arrives soon!) The only other book I own by Hahn is a non-ghost story, Daphne's Book, which I loved even more than this one. It's sitting on the shelf in the reading nook closet, in fact.
I know some of you probably know this one. What "scary" books did you love as a kid?
I can still see this book on my library's bookshelf staring out at me, 20 years ago! I still get the shivers thinking about it!
Awesome awesome awesome! And I never read it! Ok here's mine, and I'll do a post on it if you like :) b/c there is no image on Amazon for it....i looooooooved this on: 'Mirror of Danger' by Pamela Sykes and it's about a girl falling prey to a mean Victorian girl ghost, and it is SO GREAT! I've read that book at least 30 times. Ok off to find yours.....you made my day with this, I loved/love books like this!
I definitely want to read this one too! Not really scary or a ghost story, but I remember being spooked by Moondial -not that long ago either!


Editorial: Will we seek changes in our school district or fight for the status quo?
Over the past several months the Addison Central School District has held a series of public forums at which district residents have discussed the future use of its nine school buildings. Specifically, whether the district should continue to maintain and use all seven of its elementary school buildings along with its middle and high schools, or reduce the number of elementary schools.
Astonishing what we learn from others when we listen… I was talking with a friend only a few years younger, who offered a suggestion that in my self-absorption had never occurred to me.
Recently I have been considering possessions, and the excess in which we keep them. I was very fortunate to grow up in a warm, furnished house with food security and toys, and I am forever grateful for that. But as oceans fill with trash and wasteful consumerism continues, it's time for a shift in both lifestyle and mentality surrounding material things.
Editor's note: This is the 15th in a series of essays on the history and meaning of the American political tradition.
Before the United States of America achieved "a more perfect union" through the ratification of the Constitution of 1787, it was a Confederacy. This word itself, which became notorious because of the secession by seven southern states in 1860 and the horrendous war that followed between north and south, has an uncontroversial meaning.
The second Saturday in April is akin to Christmas morning in our home as it marks the opening day of fishing season in Vermont. There is a giddiness in the air, as waders, boots, and fly rods replace skis and poles at the door. Table talk is dominated by subjects of river depth, current speed and potential precipitation. Top shelf whiskey is purchased for the yearly salute and offering to the river gods and goddesses.
I'm a constituent and fourth-generation newspaper publisher from the Northeast Kingdom. My appeal is to you as a well-known champion of free speech.


This is the face of your milk. This is the face of an animal rescued from greed. Edda is her name and she was born on Christmas eve and rescued on christmas day. Her umbilical was not cleaned after birth and created an abscess which we have been treating with antibiotics. She was also born with salmonella and coccidia. These diseases are all the result of greed. The greed that puts such a low value on life that living beings become disposable.
Today Edda will be taken to CSU for surgery which will hopefully ease her pain and give her a better quality of life.

Steven Soderbergh and Richard Lester are a generation apart, but theyshare a sense of humour and a passion for cinema. Soderbergh's freshman film, sex, lies and videotape, inaugurated a movementin US independent cinema. Lester's freewheeling work in the '60s and '70s (Help!, A Hard Day's Night, The Knack, How I Won the War, Petulia) helped create a 'new wave' of British film-making. Here, the two cineastes discuss their mutual passion for the medium in a frank,funny and free-ranging series of interviews. Also included is Soderbergh's diary of an extraordinary twelve months in which he ventured into 'guerilla film-making' with offbeatprojects Schizopolis and Gray's Anatomy, before returning to the Hollywood fray with the George Clooney hit Out of Sight.
Steven Soderbergh won the prestigious Palme d'or at the Cannes Film Festival for his first full-lenth film, sex, lies and videotape in 1989, thus inaugurating a decade of American Independent cinema.
He won a Best Director Oscar in 2000 for Traffiic.
His recent films include Haywire and Contagion.

If there ever truly was a man that needed no introduction, he would go by the name of Picasso. He once famously stated that it took him four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child. Picasso excelled at art from a very young age and mastered by the age 18, dumbfoundingly detailed paintings. In order to pay dues to a man of this immense magnitude the Musée d'Orsay in Paris is holding an exhibition showing over 300 of Picasso's works. It will focus on 6 years of his earlier work which were defined by a period of blues and rose. A must-see for any art lover visiting Paris. The exhibition takes place through January 6, 2019 at Paris d'Orsay.

The airline says the practice of offering discounted fares to people flying to a family member's funeral is outdated, but quite a few Facebook users called the company heartless.
American Airlines announced on its website that it would no longer offer emergency or bereavement fares, and as news of that change spread, comments from angry flyers began popping up on Facebook.
American is adopting the policy of US Airways, the company with which it merged last year. The combined company's new CEO, Douglas Parker, came from US Airways.
We remain committed to doing all we can to relieve the burden of travel for our customers in times of need. With the advent of more choices, lower cost carriers and larger networks, the industry has started to move away from bereavement fares because walk-up fares are generally lower than in the past, and customers now have more opportunities to find affordable fares at the last minute.
American is moving toward that industry trend and the airline offers customers changeable and refundable options with the ability to apply future reservations to bereavement travel without change fees. We believe this policy is a cost-effective solution for customers in need of bereavement travel.
Discount airlines such as Southwest and Virgin have never offered bereavement fares, but Delta and United are continuing with their bereavement fare policies. United offers discounts of 5 percent on the cheapest fares available.
Don't have enough money for a plane ticket? American Airlines thinks your relative should have thought about that before they died.
American, which usually replies to social media complaints about lost luggage or missed connections, is letting comments about bereavement fares go largely unanswered.

What To Expect In 2023 From The Indian Economy

As a result of the Indian economy overtaking the United Kingdom in GDP terms, it was the country's most notable achievement. And that, too, is very early in the fiscal year 2022-2023. The Government is on track to hit $4 trillion in GDP soon, making it the 5th largest economy.
A sense of continuity will characterize the Indian economy in 2022 and in the future. As of 2014, coalition governments ceased making disruptive policy changes, and soon, even after 2024's general elections, they are unlikely to return. India's economic prospects are dependent on this.
Everything is up for grabs without continuity. India is expected to overtake Germany and Japan to become No. 3 by 2028. Only the United States will be higher than it at number one, followed by China at number two.
In terms of nominal gross domestic product (GDP), India is ranked No. 3. However, when measured in purchasing power parity (PPP), it is ranked eighth. Due to the low per capita income of Rs 1.5 lakh in 2022, India's massive population of 1.40 billion is also helped by this PPP.
The earning potential of two family members at the bottom of the pyramid is still Rs 3 lakh for each. In contrast, ordinary people in a 'developed' country such as Britain, whose per capita income was $46,510.30 in 2021, need help to cover basic food and energy costs.
India's excellent recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic has contributed to 2022's good performance. Inoculating over a billion people with at least one highly effective home-grown vaccine, most free of charge, at an unprecedented pace, was nothing short of spectacular.
In addition, the licensed vaccine manufactured by Astra Zeneca has also performed well. In both cases, over 75 percent efficacy has been demonstrated. Despite large budgets and small populations, this is the only country to claim such dramatic success.
Several countries have also requested Covid vaccines and other medicines from India at no charge. With this clear assertion of India's global significance, especially in the 'Global South,' it achieved immense international stature from 2020 to 2021.
In 2023, it will serve as the Chair of the G20 Summit, and this benign and beneficial position will not be forgotten. It is expected that more than 30 countries will be participating, including around ten invited countries.
Agreements reached with the G20 participants will have a great deal of influence over how 2024 turns out. Despite this, India made little money from its largely generic drugs and does not intend to profit from them in the future, even as they pose a long-term economic threat to western pharmaceuticals.
Consequently, India's quality and efficacy are misrepresented maliciously. Indian economic growth is currently estimated at 6 percent to 7 percent annually. Bloomberg reports that Morgan Stanley estimates its tally to grow by $400 billion yearly.
According to the World Bank's latest estimates, India's growth is expected to reach 6.9 percent in 2022-2023 and 6.4 percent in 2023-2024. Future forecasts indicate that this momentum will continue year over year for at least a decade.
Contrary to today, in 1990, the entire Indian economy was at less than $400 billion, just before a sharp balance of payments crisis and urgent reforms urgently needed.
The size of the Indian economy and its growth rate has grown significantly. There is no doubt that India's economy is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world.
As other economic sectors stagnated or went inactive during the pandemic, India's exports came to their rescue. It has always been a weak suit for India. By 2030, Piyush Goyal, the minister of commerce, predicts they will reach $1 trillion.
India has had a food surplus during just about a year's worth of the ongoing Ukraine war. As part of the Indian economy's development in the 1950s and 1960s, it heavily depended on food aid when the population was less than a third of today's.
Consumers and investors account for 70 percent of India's economy based on the vast domestic market. Its attractiveness to foreign investors is another reason for its popularity.
In contrast, India has increased its capital expenditures in infrastructure, capacity building, connectivity, and modernization to unprecedented levels. Thus, chronic bottlenecks and inefficiencies are being eliminated at a dynamic pace, benefiting the economy.
The Indian Government is offering incentives to relocate and manufacture in India at a time when multiple Western countries are attempting to reduce their dependence on Chinese supply chains.
There have already been several giants who have taken advantage of the opportunity, including Apple Industries. Several semiconductor manufacturers from Taiwan and other countries are opening factories in India.
It is already vital to employ many people in the electronics and automobile industries and the componentry. India is the unicorn and start-up capital of the world due to its many unicorns and start-ups valued at over $332 billion.
Millions of new jobs can be created simply by developing Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is not just the growth statistics that make India's macroeconomics look solid.
A rising dollar and foreign direct investment are helping finance the country's current account deficit, despite dipping mid-year to push back against a falling rupee. As it grows, India will increasingly rely less on the American dollar.
India will significantly reduce its petroleum import bill through the deployment of clean energy initiatives – which means using non-fossil fuels.
Currently, 80 percent of our fuel imports are imported, making it the most difficult inflationary item to manage and the most significant influence on the rupee's strength against the dollar.
In addition to international sanctions, OPEC (Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries) and other oil-producing countries have cut production sharply.
At the same time, Europe and America are experiencing higher inflation rates of between 6 percent and 11 percent, a rate not seen since WWII. In 2022, India's efforts towards aatmanirbhar manufacturing will bear fruit.
Both public and private industries benefit from the proscription of 68 percent of imports. In addition, Indian armaments have gained international attention because of their high quality.
The Philippines received Brahmos missiles in 2022. These and other missiles manufactured in India have been agreed to be exported to countries such as Vietnam, the UAE, and Egypt.
There have been purchases of radars and rocket launchers by Armenia from India. Besides filling shortfalls within the Indian Air Force, Tejas attracts foreign interest. The Indian drone industry is increasing.
A frigate, a submarine, both conventional and nuclear, and an aircraft carrier are among the types of vessels available. It has the potential to be a significant player in the global arms market at a fraction of its Western competition's cost in 2022.
Efforts are being made with France, the US, and Britain to establish joint ventures on certain things like a fighter and naval gas turbine engines. To combat a dual-front war with China and Pakistan, we are ramping up Indian R&D urgently.
A significant step toward ensuring our security would be manufacturing aircraft and naval engines. With the launch of heavy rockets and multiple satellites, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has made great strides, not to mention hosting private players to launch their satellites.
Years ago, the West and Russia denied cryogenic engine technology, and it had to develop it independently. It is also working to create a vehicle that can be reused for multiple trips into space, similar to NASA's.
With its share of GDP and the number of employees now rivaling agriculture, the real estate sector is one of the fastest growing sectors.
Agricultural activity has been and will continue to be an attractive source of rural surplus labor. It began to surge in 2022 following years of oversupply and is forecast to continue in 2023.
A country like India faces an almost insatiable demand for housing and commercial properties. Only gold is seen as more secure by people, and they refuse to be discouraged by economists or naysayers.
There is no doubt that agriculture contributes 20.19 percent to India's GDP. The service sector has 53.89 percent of the market, while manufacturing has 25.92 percent. Considering the growth of manufacturing, exports, real estate, etc., will the service sector's share shrink?
It will likely be only a small percentage of a larger pie, but it will still be significant. In the future, the Indian economy will be distinguished by its advanced degree of digitization, which is already far ahead of the West.
The deployment of 5G and 6G, developed in the United States, will play a significant role in delivering goods and services and cause the financial industry to bust.
As a result of Indian companies reaching billion- and multibillion-dollar status by 2023 and beyond, their numbers are expected to increase dramatically. This is the key to competing internationally.
As the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector, often referred to by Communists as the neglected Hoi Polloi, supplies these giant corporations, it will rapidly become indispensable.
The process will be more integrated, the quality will be higher, and the amount of waste will be reduced. India is moving on all fronts at the same time. To have a thriving economy, this is crucial.
It puts the Indian economy in a good position to attain its ambitions in 2023 and beyond since it is not overburdened with debt, especially external debt. In today's troubled world, these are the things the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) look forward to most, as they can count on less volatility in the future.

The Indian rupee suffered its second biggest fall in history as the US dollar continued to be sought by investors as a safe asset and expectations of foreign investor inflows were belied. The local currency dropped by Rs 1.24 against the dollar to close at 49.58 and is now expected to further weaken to below Rs 50 against the dollar.
Those planning an overseas vacation will have to spend nearly 10% more than what they would have set aside three months back for their dollar purchase. The weak rupee will make all imports, including oil, more expensive and add to inflationary pressures. Exporters, however, stand to gain as they will now get more rupees for their dollars. The fall in rupee value will also encourage overseas workers to send more money home and park them in domestic deposits.
Forex dealers said that the worst might still be ahead with the three-month forward trading at 50.21 in offshore markets as compared to 49 on Wednesday. Although the rupee is not convertible overseas investors hedge their exposure to rupee in the overseas through transaction in non-deliverable forwards – a future market where there is no delivery of rupee currency, but the exchange difference between spot and future rupee is settled in dollars.


The Bass Brewery /ˈbæs/ was founded in 1777 by William Bass in Burton-upon-Trent, England. The main brand was Bass Pale Ale, once the highest-selling beer in the UK. By 1877, Bass had become the largest brewery in the world, with an annual output of one million barrels. Its pale ale was exported throughout the British Empire, and the company's distinctive red triangle became the UK's first registered trademark.
Bass took control of a number of other large breweries in the early 20th century, and in the 1960s merged with Charrington United Breweries to become the largest UK brewing company, Bass Charrington. The brewing operations of the company were bought by Interbrew (now Anheuser-Busch InBev) in 2000, while the retail side (hotel and pub holdings) were renamed Six Continents plc. The UK government's Competition Commission was concerned about the monopoly implications arising from the deal, and instructed Interbrew to dispose of the brewery and certain brands (Carling and Worthington) to Coors (now Molson Coors Brewing Company), but allowed Interbrew to retain the rights to the Bass Pale Ale brand. In 2010, it was widely reported that AB-InBev are attempting to sell the rights to the Bass brand in the UK for around £10-15 million.
Draught Bass (4.4% ABV) has been brewed under contract in Burton by Marston's for AB-InBev since 2005. Bottled and keg products are brewed at AB-InBev's own brewery in Samlesbury for export, except in the United States and Belgium, where Bass is brewed locally. Bass Ale is a top ten premium canned ale in the UK, with 16,080 hectolitres sold in 2010.
Prior to establishing a brewery, William Bass transported ale for brewer Benjamin Printon. Bass sold this carrier business to the Pickford family, using the funds to establish Bass & Co Brewery in 1777 as one of the first breweries in Burton-upon-Trent.
Early in the company's history, Bass was exporting bottled beer around the world, serving the Baltic region through the port of Hull. Growing demand led his son Michael Thomas Bass (senior), to build a second brewery in Burton in 1799 in partnership with John Ratcliff. The water produced from local boreholes became popular with brewers, with 30 operating there by the mid-19th century. His son, Michael Thomas Bass, succeeded on his father's death in 1827, renewed the Ratcliff partnership, brought in John Gretton, and created 'Bass, Ratcliff and Gretton'.
The opening of a railway through Burton in 1839 redoubled Burton's preeminence as a brewing town. In the mid-1870s, Bass, Ratcliff and Gretton accounted for one third of Burton's output. A strong export business allowed Bass to boast their product was available "in every country in the globe". By 1877, Bass was the largest brewery in the world, with an annual output of one million barrels. Following the death of the second Michael Bass in 1884, his son Michael Arthur Bass, later the 1st Baron Burton, took the reins. Both Michael Thomas Bass and his son Lord Burton were philanthropically inclined, making extensive charitable donations to the towns of Burton and Derby. The brewer became a public limited company in 1888.
Bass' No. 1 Ale was the first beer to be marketed as barley wine, around 1870. The ale was called "No. 1" because it came off the first running, i.e., was the first beer produced from the mash, and Bass marketed the high-alcohol, low-bitter, malty sweet ale as a "barley wine" as a substitute for fortified wines like brandy and sherry.
Early in the 20th century, a declining market closed many Burton breweries, 20 in 1900 falling to eight in 1928. Bass took over Walkers in 1923, Worthington and Thomas Salt in 1927, and James Eadie in 1933.
Bass was one of the original London Stock Exchange FT 30 companies when the listing was established in 1935. Over the next half-century, Bass maintained its UK dominance through acquiring such brewers as Mitchells & Butlers (1961), Charringtons (1967), Bents-Gartsides (1967), John Joule & Sons (1968), William Stones Ltd (1968), and Grimsby's Hewitt Brothers Ltd (1969), being variously known as Bass, Mitchells and Butlers or Bass Charrington.
Following decades of closures and consolidation, Bass was left by the end of the 20th century with one of the two large remaining breweries in Burton. The brewing operations of the company were bought by Interbrew (now Anheuser-Busch InBev) in 2000, while the retail side (hotel and pub holdings) were renamed Six Continents plc. The UK government's Competition Commission was concerned about the monopoly implications arising from the deal, and instructed Interbrew to dispose of the brewery and certain brands (Carling and Worthington ) to Coors (now Molson Coors Brewing Company), but allowed Interbrew to retain the rights to the Bass Pale Ale brand.
Mitchells & Butlers lives on as the assignee of the licensed retail outlet business which separated from Six Continents.
Bass plc's brewing business was bought by the Belgian brewer Interbrew (now AB-InBev) in June 2000, its hotel and pub holdings absorbed and renamed Six Continents plc.
After the Competition Commission raised potential monopoly concerns, Interbrew disposed of Bass Brewers Limited's Carling and Worthington brands to Coors (now Molson Coors Brewing Company), but retained the rights to the Bass beer brand.
The beer was produced under licence by Coors, which acquired the Bass brewery facility. Bass Brewers Limited was renamed Coors Brewers Limited. When the licence to brew draught Bass came to an end in 2005, it was taken up by Wolverhampton & Dudley Breweries PLC, which started production at Burton's Marston's Brewery. Bottled and keg Bass formerly exported to the USA with a higher alcohol content are now produced there domestically by Anheuser-Busch at a Baldwinsville, New York, facility.
Sited next to the brewery, the Bass Museum of Brewing (later renamed the Coors Visitor Centre & The Museum of Brewing), was Burton-upon-Trent's largest tourist attraction until closed by Coors in June 2008. A steering group was established to investigate re-opening, and the museum was relaunched in May 2010 as the National Brewery Centre.
Bass was a pioneer in international brand marketing. "Many years before 1855" Bass applied a red triangle to casks of its Pale Ale. After 1855 the triangles were red, white or blue depending on which of three breweries it came from, but all bottles of Pale Ale had the red triangle from that date. The blue triangle was briefly revived after World War II for Pale Ale that wasn't bottle conditioned. The Bass Red Triangle was the first trademark to be registered under the UK's Trade Mark Registration Act 1875. The Act came into effect on 1 January 1876 and legend has it that a Bass employee queued overnight outside the registrar's office on New Year's Eve in order to be the first in line to register a trademark the next morning. As a result, Bass, Ratcliff & Gretton Limited received the first two registrations, the Bass Red Triangle for their pale ale and the Bass Red Diamond next for their strong ale. The trademarks are now owned by Brandbrew SA, an InBev subsidiary based in Luxembourg. In June 2013 InBev renamed Bass Pale Ale as Bass Trademark No.1.
Bottles of Bass with the Red Triangle logo have occasionally appeared in art and literature, including Édouard Manet's 1882 painting A Bar at the Folies-Bergère and in over 40 paintings by Picasso, mostly at the height of his Cubist period around 1914. In the "Oxen of the Sun" episode of James Joyce's Ulysses, Bloom observes the Bass logo.
Bass sponsored Derby County Football Club from 1984 to 1986.
Bass was the main sponsor of Bristol Rugby for 2006–07.
Bass was a major sponsor of Pontypridd RFC during the 2009–2011 seasons.
Draught Bass is a 4.4% ABV cask conditioned beer. Most prevalent near its Burton upon Trent and Derbyshire heartlands, it is brewed by Marston's in Burton in Yorkshire Squares using English hops and dry hopping and is described as "a classic ale with a malty, fruity, nutty aroma and a complex, satisfying flavour".
This is the exported version of Bass, usually brewed to around 5% ABV.
Bass Extra Smooth - A 3.6% ABV pasteurised keg version of Bass, brewed to the same recipe, and most popular in the South West of England.
Bass Mild XXXX - A 3.1% ABV keg mild.
Bass Best Scotch - A 3.4% ABV keg beer in the North East of England Scotch ale style. It was formerly brewed to 3.8% following its launch in 1986.
Shandy Bass is a 0.5% ABV shandy made with Bass beer and lemonade. Introduced in 1972, it is made by Britvic and is most popular in Northern England.
Bass Pale Ale has been brewed under licence in Belgium since the Interbrew takeover. It is typically sold in 25cl bottles at 5.2% ABV.
Draught Bass has been exported to America since at least 1966. In 2001, 66,500,000 litres of Bass were sold in the United States. However Bass seems to have suffered under the custodianship of InBev and later Anheuser-Busch InBev as it is undergoing heavy decline in American consumption, with 24,200,000 litres sold in the country in 2010. AB InBev have pledged funding to support the Bass brand in America, and since June 2012, Bass has been brewed in Merrimack, New Hampshire at 5% ABV for the American market.
In 1860, Bass was the first foreign beer to be sold in Japan.
Black and Tan, a British drink popular in the US, often made with Bass and Guinness.

Hotel News Now recaps the opening afternoon of the HotelsWorld conference in Sydney with takeaways, quotables and more highlights from the event.
SYDNEY—Boutique and lifestyle hotels are the current darlings of the hotel world—even if they can't be defined universally throughout the industry.
Depending on who you talk to, that definition may be determined by a property's number of rooms, by the size of its rooms or by the unique aspects it provides guests, according to speakers at Tuesday afternoon's boutique and lifestyle program on the opening day of HotelsWorld.
The two words used most often during the discussions were "experience" and "unique"—both of which are hard to quantify.
The bottom line is developers and investors have a keen interest in these types of properties, Burke said. STR data indicates that 3,272 (21%) of the 15,000 luxury and upper upscale rooms under contract in Australia qualify as boutique or lifestyle.
"There's a growing appetite for these types of properties," Burke said.
Richard Crawford, senior director-development for Marriott International, summarized the lifestyle push during "The dynamic world of lifestyle & soft brands" session.
"Lifestyle is a trait; it's a characteristic. Every one of our 30 brands no has lifestyle characteristics. … Lifestyle and soft brands are not a panacea to success. For us, it is the minority of our business but an important part of our business," he said.
Investors need to be cautious as they explore opportunities for these types of brands, said Abhijay Sandilya, senior director of development for InterContinental Hotels Group.
The soft-brand concept is gaining momentum because the properties generally have a story to tell, speakers said.
The overall importance of design became a primary discussion topic as the day progressed.
"Design is the one thing that reaches everybody—it either delivers your expectation or it disappoints," said Jennifer Davey, director of AHS Advisory/Horwath HTL, who served as moderator for the "Designing for differentiation" session.
"Design is so important to us because we're globally connected, it impacts every age group, and it's particularly relevant to the hotel sector to try and provide a different perspective to all user groups," she said.
The trend of developing smaller guestroom sizes threaded its way throughout the afternoon's conversation. Jeffery Copolov, director for Bates Smart, said the smaller rooms create a much greater challenge for designers than the larger rooms of the past.
—Tracy Atherton, group general manager for Jackalope Hotels, on why the company decided to go the independent route and develop its own brand instead of going with an established brand company.


I am sorry I could not post on this yesterday but I was attending and moderating a panel at the Vancouver Cambridge House show. Tune in to the second hour of the weekend show to hear what people were saying while on the floor.
Back to the major discovery… Orex Minerals (TSX.V : REX) (in full disclosure I own this stock and have owned for a while) released a seriously impressive drill result on the Sandra Escobar property in Mexico which is under an option agreement from Canasil Resources (TSX.V : CLZ). Here is the table from the press release and notes on what it means to me.
High-grade silver over a long distance of 62 metres.
The silver starts right at surface with the best grade starting at 4 metres down.
With silver grades this close to surface it is important to see what comes out of deeper drilling and step out drilling.
While the news release focuses only on the results from the one hole the Company has already stated this is part of a larger drill program. Back on December 10, 2015 Orex issued a release outlining a total of "about 2,000 metres in as many as 12 drill holes". There is a lot more news to come from Orex in the next couple months.
The weather in Durango State has been on the cold side recently so we should expect to wait at least another few weeks before another hole or two is released. I am sure the markets will be paying close attention.
Clearly the market took notice yesterday popping the stock $0.125 to $0.335 (up almost 60%). Today the stock has pulled back $0.06 to $0.275 on continued high volume. I am not worried about the sell off today. Investors are clearly taking some money off the table and waiting for the next results. This is an inherent problem with exploration, people will sell on the news and wait until just before when they think the next results are to be released to buy back in. These results are too good for me to think that the stock will move significantly down from here.
Looking at Canasil, this stock made an even more impressive jump. Trading at $0.05 and under for the past long time the stock jumped to $0.15 yesterday and had pulled back to $0.125 today. Canasil will continue to ride the coattails of this drilling if the results of this one hole will be confirmed.
A factor that I like about Orex and a reason why I continue to hold is the track record of management. Gary Cope (CEO and President) along with Ben Whiting (VP of Exploration), both of whom I know very well, were the team behind Orko Silver. Orko was a silver exploration company focused in Mexico and sold to Coeur Mining back in 2012. I like when management sticks to locations they are familiar with and metals they have already found as well as management that can get a sale done.
I also like to see insiders buying their company stock out of the open market. It shows that management believes in the company and helps support the overall price in down markets. This is exactly what Gary has been doing for more than a year. Check out CanadianInsider.com to see for yourself.
Let's take a look at the financials. As at October 31, 2015 Orex had over $4.5 million in the back plus another $2.6 million in receivables. Net this cash (some of which would have been spent) with the very low payables and no debt Orex has more than sufficient funds to carry out this drill program and move the company forward.
** Do not constitute this as investment advice. As stated above I (the author, Cory Fleck) hold shares in Orex and is a personal friend of management. I was not paid for this article in any form. Please do not use this article as a reason to buy or sell any shares. I am working to keep our listeners up to date on major news in the mining industry. Do your own due diligence.
If you have any questions please leave them in the comment section below or email me directly at fleck@kereport.com.
Thanks Cory. I saw CFS post on this exploration yesterday and was pleased, because I like the management that took Orko Silver to a successful buyout. Maybe they can do it again….
Gary and his staff are good friends and good people. Brahmin Yamini and his family are truly the salt of the earth.
What is the OTC symbol for OREX…i try ORXIF but get nothing??? anybody??
Their OTC symbol was (ORXM) at one time, and then recently it was (ORXIF). You're right, I can't seem to pull up anything charts on it now.
* Their TSXV symbol (REX) is much more liquid and is really the ticker to follow. There doesn't appear to be a working OTC equivalent for it at present.
I checked Interactive Brokers and nothing came up for either ORXIF or ORXM, fwiw.
Yes. This demonstrates the explosive of percentage gain on small Jr Miners, when a standout discovery is made and when their is quality management with a proven track record. People have no idea if this will be a mine or profitable, but the vision is there for where things could go. I would also argue that this is the value of fundamental analysis, as well as technical analysis. I'm not sure the technical indicators would have indicated such a swift and large move.
ditto on the quality management……..
Big Al – I even tried going to stockwatch and Orex Minerals old tickers are Defunct.
I'm not sure if they still have a US listing.
I want to add a word of caution. That is to check their warrant situation if you are thinking of speculating. My memory carries a flag of over 3 million warrants until 2017, which will imply, as far as I am concerned, a potential for Canadian scum-brokers to play shorting games with the stock.
Thanks CFS. Definitely something to consider.
They have more warrants than I remembered, and on their website are still citing ORXIF on OTC.
The immigrant situation in Europe will come to a climax, but when?
Denmark just quickly passed a law allowing a search oif all asylum seekers and temporary confiscation of assets in excess of $1500 approx to be used to offset cost of benefits; housing, clothing, food, etc.
I am told that during these autumn/winter months up to and possibly over 50% of those claiming refugee status are, in fact, immigrants from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya, travelling on forged Syrian passports. (ISIS is obtaining considerable financing!) It is clear that Moroccans have no cause to claim any refugee status. I am also told that quasi-government organizations seem to be funding some of the trans-mediterranean crossings and that several sources have pointed to Soros are partly backing this. No one could explain why.
That suite than just a bit interesting, Professor. Thank you.

Its looking that way, and it was overdue for Silver to play catch up.
Is it Time for a Silver Price Turnaround?
Featuring VRIC comments from Keith Neumeyer, Phillips S. Baker, Jr., Randy Smallwood and Ross Beaty.
Very very far from a major discovery! A good hole.
Agreed. It just goes to show how far a positive news blip can move a small speculative Jr explorer. There is no promise of a major resource, mine, or a profitable future, but….. markets are run on emotional over-reaction to the upside and downside.
*** CHARTSTER YOU ARE DEAD WRONG, THE SHANGHAI INDEX HAS NOT DOUBLE BOTTOMED!
Shanghai market is now down more than 4% now, these markets are going lower!
Yesterday when it hit the August lows, it was a double bottom.
Yep Chartster NO double bottom.
Headed much lower…..MUCH lower. I live and work in Asia. Big issues everywhere.
When gold broke through $1111-$1112, then came back and tested it, there was a floor there and it rallied well yesterday. I really don't want Gold to close below that level if there is any juice left on this rally.
First resistance target that I was watching was $1122-$1123, and this is where Gold stalled out and retreated. Chartster pointed out the 200 day MA was at $1134 (so that is next resistance higher), and I expect the top target for this rally to be in the $1142 (top of trend line in descending wedge) or $1146.30 (prior peak from Sept 25, 2015).
I was checking out Kitco and the title of this video interview with Peter Hug caught my attention. He also sees $1122 as a key resistance area that must be broken if Gold has a chance at a decent rally.
This Gold chart shows the 200 day SMA at $1134 and the 200 day EMA at $1130. Those are next resistance if gold can take out $1122-$1123.
At the moment, gold is backtesting the bearish breakout of a huge modified Schiff fork. We'll know soon if this is a significant resistance….
COMEX…………SOMETHING SNAPPED………..541 to 1……..zerohedge…gold for delivery going bye bye.
I commented on that earlier………..this is really going to get interesting going forward!
I will be reading that COT Gold Report on Friday!
Thanks….sorry, I did not see, but, you are correct on it getting interesting.
That is just ridiculous, 541 fools for every one ounce in house!
This is nothing but a very sad and sorry fake house of mirrors, they have no more credibility at all.
Something has got to give soon………………….it can't be long now, there's nothing there!
After reading that, somebody has to be eyeing a major purchase!
I would think so…………..the number of $169mill is chump change….
Yes Holter will comment on it!
THIS could be the PLAY OF THE DAY………………..COMEX goes no bid………or COMEX CLOSES due to no inventory………………Fiat gold for everyone.
Update………just zipped over to jdsmineset, and Holter did mention it in his report.
*** Shanghai markets did bounce back big but it has no ways neared a double bottom!
We will see what it closes at on Friday morning!
Yeah and don't forget the fed……..will they or wont they continue to raise!
Markets are waiting and watching and the Fed knows it!
The PPT………..is backed by the ESF………which is the control at the treasury that no one wants to admit exist. SO, anything is possible at this time.
Wait and see what European markets do………..there is a lot of turmoil going on in France, Germany, Italy……you name it…..the immigration problem is out of hand, I would think that the Europeans are getting a bit excited.
A bit mad! Any fool knows that the whole adjective of Islam is to rule the world by demographics!
America and the world is full of none believers……and have never read anything on the subject of Islam ….even the So called Christians are out of the loop.
Average Chinese considers stock market casino.
*** BALTIC DRY INDEX CONTINUES TO CRASH NOW DOWN 345 PTS!
You got to just laugh at this point………this sh#t is so sad!
WOW………..I'm getting a moderation notice on all of my post!
They had my name spelled wrong that's why……..
Me too! That was a great read by Bill Holter on the Comex!
Actually gold ups up in British pounds, and Indian rupies…….
* Bill Holter would be a good guess for the weekend show Big Al.
After reading this recent editorial on Seeking Alpha, I am wondering if I should consider Hecla a Gold company more than a Silver company now. It seems that through their different acquisitions over the last few years that their Gold profile has increased to be the primary driver over the Silver, and base metals.
It is odd because it tracks Silver pricing more than Gold. Maybe most investors don't realize how much of Hecla's asset base is not tied to Gold more so than Silver.
Hecla will certainly be interesting to keep an eye on.
Note the amount of Iranian oil supply projected.
Merkel is beginning to realize she will be voted out of power.
The attack on her opposition from the "right" begins.
BERLIN (AP) — The German government on Wednesday banned a far-right Internet platform that it accused of spreading "racist, xenophobic, anti-Semitic, homophobic and anti-Islamic content," and federal prosecutors said two people were arrested.
The prosecutors' office said that two Germans, identified only as Jutta V. and Ralph Thomas K. in line with German privacy rules, were arrested on suspicion of founding a criminal organization and incitement. Three other suspects weren't arrested.
Intermedia Deutschland actually uses a server system in Russia, which it thought would provide safety from attack.
Thia may have implications to broadcasters like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, etc., who have mentioned broadcasting from Mexico as US freedom of speech rules are tightened.

The code in the viewController.m is:
#import "ViewController.h"
@import LocalAuthentication;
#import "SVProgressHUD.h"
@interface ViewController ()

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

        LAContext *context = [[LAContext alloc] init];
        NSError *error;

        // check if the policy can be evaluated
        if (![context canEvaluatePolicy:LAPolicyDeviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics error:&error])
        {
            NSLog(@"error:%@", error);
            NSString *msg = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Can't evaluate policy! %@", error.localizedDescription];
            [SVProgressHUD showErrorWithStatus:msg];
            return;
        }

        // evaluate
        [context evaluatePolicy:LAPolicyDeviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics
                localizedReason:@"Please login through TouchID"
                          reply:
         ^(BOOL success, NSError *authenticationError) {

             dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{

                 if (success) {
                     [SVProgressHUD showSuccessWithStatus:@"Everything Worked!"];
                     //Code for new viewController should come here!
                 }
                 else {
                     NSLog(@"error:%@", authenticationError);
                     [SVProgressHUD showErrorWithStatus:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"FAILED! %@", authenticationError.localizedDescription]];
                 }
             });
         }];
    }

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

@end

viewController.h is standart. Nothing changed in it.
Thanks for support :)

A: To present a view controller we normally use following methods

*

*If we are using storyboard,then call following method
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"indentifierForViewController" sender:self];

*If we are not using storyboard then we can use

 NextTaskViewControler *add = [[NextTaskViewControler alloc]
                         initWithNibName:@"NextTaskViewController" bundle:nil];
     [self presentViewController:nextTaskVC animated:YES completion:nil];
I suggest you to use UINavigationController, a specialized view controller that manages other view controllers to provide a hierarchical navigation for the user. Present a viewcontroller only for specific purpose such as presenting a photo with few actions in it.It's easy to maintain when view hierarchy becomes complex
Please go-through  UINavigationController Refrence

In the beginning of the documentary it was said "United States has the most incarcerated people, with that number over 2 million". Also in the short clip it was starting to get into Regans "War on Drugs", and saying how that got a lot of people in jail.
One thing that I thought was interesting was how the United States have the highest rate of mass incarceration from the 1900's to the early-mid 2000's. Also apart of that mass incarceration rate, black people are the highest incarcerated.
In the beginning of the documentary it was said that "United States has the most number of people incarcerated, with that number being over 2 million". I'm the short clip it as also talking about how Regans "War on Drugs" got a lot of people in jail.
The film provided insight and information into the period of civil war to modern day. This includes relevance to the current prison system, which became a for-profit or private system.
I can't simply just write one thing I found I interesting because I was completely mind blown when watching the movie. The movie is very sad, I was pretty emotional when watching it. I learned about slavery, Jim Crow law, segregation, etc. although I did not learn about it all in depth like the movie showed. One thing the movie said that caught my attention was something along the lines of, "black people didn't move to the north for a better life they moved north because they were seeking refuge from terror". This really caught my attention because like I've said previously, every skin color, nationality has once been a refugee.
I found the 13th amendment interesting. Because I didn't know that it said slavery was illegal unless you were a criminal. And that the south used this as a loophole to keep slaves.
What I found interesting about this film was that it was relatable to what I see today. Mass incarceration has a been a systematically convention made to imprison black people after not having the right to control their lives "legally" after the 13th amendment was passed.
They mentioned that the 13th amendment says that slavery and involuntary servitude is abolished unless it's punishment for a crime. This tells us that slavery still exist within the system. It's crazy to think even after about 200 years this still exist. The law made a loophole to it so that the system still has control over African Americans and it continues to oppress African Americans through the criminal justice system.
Watching the film for the second time helps me understand it better and makes me see certain things I might not have noticed before. What I enjoyed and liked about this film was how theirs people in the film that discuss more in depth of the 13th amendment and also how they discuss about the issues going on during this century. Made me learn more about the 13th amendment and it's history of how it was established due to the Civil Rights War. Another thing I liked about this film is that they included images and clips from another film called "the birth of a nation" that was published in 1915. To me this was a great experience to know more about history and it's background which I am grateful to have a chance to have done this in campus, thank you for this experience!
What I thought was interesting about todays short film, was how people can treat people in such a manner. If people were leaning towards a space of peace and respect, todays society would have been more evolved and prosperous. Also as the 13th amendment abolished slavery but allows slavery to portrude as long as it is a form of retribution. Acknowledging this, as long as they lock you up for whatever specific crime you can or will be used for slave labor.
" How did the 13 th amendment both " end" slavery and also allow for its constitution? After the civil rights movement, the 13th amendment was passed by law that black people got equal rights with white people except the criminal ones. But in reality, white supremacy and racial violence were still prevailing at that time. They were threatened by violence and discrimination. Even today, it still exists in the criminal justice.
One thing that I found interesting about the film was that President Nixon was on board for there is a war on drugs which led to higher incarceration rates for African Americans. It may have seemed like a great idea for him but it meant that many blacks caught with less dangerous drugs to be unfairly judged.
THE FILM I WATCHED TODAY LOOKED BACK AT THE RATIFICATION OF THE 13TH AMENDMENT. I AM IN SHOCK DUE TO THE FACT THE A LOT OF THE STUDENT WHO VIEW THE VIDEO AND PARTICIPATE DID NOT HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THE PART OF THE 13 AMENDMEMT THAT STATES AND APPROVED SLAVERY AND SERVITIDE AS PART OF A PUNISHME.T FOR A CRIME WHEN THE PEROSN HAS BEEN FULLY CONVICTED. I WAS NOT AWARE MYSELF OF SUCH IT Injustice AND HOW THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN SLAVERY IN OUR MODERN DAYS WITH THIS AMENDMENT. I ALSO LEARNED BRIEFLY ABOUT THE GERMAN COUNTRY PRISON SYSTEM.
I find it interesting how the United States after the civil war portrayed the african americans as criminals so the government could incarcerate them. Slavery was replaced by mass incarceration.
By 1870, the Ku Klux Klan had branches in nearly every southern state. Even at its height, the Klan did not boast a well-organized structure or clear leadership. Local Klan members–often wearing masks and dressed in the organization's signature long white robes and hoods–usually carried out their attacks at night, acting on their own but in support of the common goals of defeating Radical Reconstruction and restoring white supremacy in the South. Klan activity flourished particularly in the regions of the South where blacks were a minority or a small majority of the population, and was relatively limited in others. The KKK could kill a lot of African American. It became a habit to see every morning to see a death black body on the street. The KKK organization consider their crime as normal because they have to protect the white supremacy.
The documentary was very interesting to watch but what was really informative to me was the fact that the justice system used the war on drugs as an opportunity to not only incarcerate more African American/ Hispanics but used it as a tool to discriminate on communities of color and those living in poverty.

Cognitive Psychology is the psychological study of thought processes. The basic idea is that the human mind can be studied using the scientific method. Various human cognitions that can be studied include memory, perception, language processing, learning and even concept formation. Cognitive psychology even has applications in computer science, linguistics and neuroscience. Students interested in becoming cognitive psychologists can expect to spend a lot of time in school.
Understanding different mental states is an important part of cognitive psychology. Different mental states that can be studied are desire, knowledge and motivation, to name a few. Psychologists that are interested in developmental, social or abnormal psychology can all apply cognitive theories to their research and work. Fans of Freudian psychology will be disappointed in the lack of introspection involved in cognitive psychology. The scientific method is strictly adhered to while conducting cognitive research. How people process information remains the core component of cognitive psychology.
Research in cognitive psychology leads scientists and psychologists to theories in human behavior that have application for public, private and educational sectors. By applying research discovered by cognitive psychologists, scientists have been able to create such medical advancements as the retinal and cochlear implant. Cognitive psychological studies have played a large part in developments in artificial intelligence. Cognitive psychology research has extended into marketing and human resources for large corporations as well. Options for studying human perceptions and applications are endless.
Cognitive psychologists should expect to earn at least a master's degree to attain jobs in this competitive field. Doctorate degrees are highly recommended. Most students at the post-graduate level can expect to dedicate a large amount of time to research. In addition to educational expectations, licensing requirements may vary from state to state. Some cognitive psychologists may find employment options to be limited at the undergraduate level. Having a master's degree is a must for suitable employment opportunities. Those with doctorate degrees will have the best choices for employment. Even licensed cognitive psychologists find that continuing their education only furthers to enhance their understanding of the ever expanding field of cognitive psychology.
Teaching and administration positions are common for people that become cognitive psychologists. There are even opportunities in corporate positions such as marketing and branding. The average pay for cognitive psychologists was approximately $90,000 in 2010. Many cognitive psychologists find the educational sector to be incredibly rewarding. Cognitive psychologists in corporate offices tend to earn more money than teachers and administrators. Cognitive psychologists that are just starting out can expect to earn around $41,000. The upper end of the pay scale can tip over $117,000.
What do Cognitive Psychologists do?
Cognitive psychologists are often found in the private and educational sector. Cognitive psychologists strive to discover how knowledge is applied by basic human discovery. The typical day for a cognitive psychologist can vary widely depending upon what type of organization they work for. Teachers and professors will spend time developing lesson plans and teaching classes. Those in corporate positions may implement and execute marketing campaigns and branding strategies. There are many different career paths available for cognitive psychologists. There are even clinical opportunities available for cognitive psychologists that are interested in hands-on research. Studying and continuing to educate one's self in the field of cognitive psychology remains an important element of practicing in this field.
Listed below are some fantastic resources for students interested in becoming cognitive psychologists.
The AACBP The American Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral Psychology has a great website for future cognitive psychologists. Their website includes information on education and licensing.
Cognitive Daily Cognitive Daily is an archived blog for relevant psychological news.
Psychology Press Psychology Press has a great list of books, journals and websites for cognitive psychologists.
Ashbourne College's Psychology Blog This Psychology Blog has a wealth of information for those interested in the field of cognitive psychology.
Simply Psychology Simply Psychology has an entire section of their website dedicated to cognitive psychology.
Cognitive psychologists can choose a wide variety of career fields to work in. Understanding thought processes remains the main objective of cognitive psychologists. Adhering to the scientific method is required of those interested in this field. In cognitive psychology, the name of the game is education. The more education one attains, the better job opportunities are available. Although the educational journey is long, it is incredibly rewarding. Cognitive psychologists get the chance to help people through educational, corporate, research and clinical positions.


For a 3 star restaurant, the food of Le Bernardin is not complicated. It relies on pristine fish and relatively simple preparation with few grand embellishments. Reading through Eric Ripert's book On The Line about the NY city restaurant is a fantastic look into how a high caliber restaurant is run. The book deals with everything like history, menu creation, service standards, a typical day in the life of Le Bernardin and how fish is bought and butchered. I find this kinds of stuff fascinating. That was the first half of the book. The second deals with several recipes. Most of them do not have a crazy long list of ingredients but each one, as deceptively simple as it might look, might have taken months from inception through several stages of refinement to finally making it on the menu. The end results are models of elegance, clean plating, classic techniques and clear flavors.
This dish has two main ingredients, the fish and the beets. They come together with a drizzle of citrus sauce that is a bit Japanese in its flavor. Looks and sounds very simple but it does involve a few steps. First I made the Citrus-Coriander Oil that forms the base of the sauce down the line and also seasons the cooked beets. It's made from a mixture of lemon and orange zests, chopped tomato, fennel and coriander seeds, basil, cilantro, olive oil and lemon oil. The mixture is allowed to steep for at least 24 hours before straining and using.
The beets, golden and red, are cooked seperately in sherry and red wine vinegars and water until tender. I actually bagged them and cooked them sous vide instead. They are then pealed sliced on a mandolin and, using a round cookie cutter, trimmed to neat rounds. Before serving, the beets are laid on a parchment lined baking sheet, seasoned with salt and pepper, drizzled with the citrus-coriander oil and warmed in a hot oven for a few minutes.
To make the sauce for the dish, the emulsion, I heated up a mixture of orange juice, shallots , lemon juice and ponzu (a Japanese sauce of citrus and soy sauce) till simmering. Then I whisked in the citrus-coriander oil. I kept this sauce warm while finishing the fish.
Chef Ripert poaches the fish in a liquid of water, citrus juice and vermouth thickened with a bit of roux. This is supposed to give the fish a wonderful velvety texture. I was juggling a few things that evening and saw no reason not to cook the fish sous vide. So, I bagged the halibut with the same mixture (used less of it though) minus the roux and cooked it for about 20 minutes till perfectly done. I patted the fish dry and plated the fillets on top of the beet rounds. I sauced with the emulsion and garnished the fish with a julienne of basil.
Thanks Stefan. Looking forward to checking out your blog some more.

Why U.S., UK,Others Are Monitoring Magu's Probe
July 13, 2020 Crime, News, World, World News
Some of Nigeria's strategic partners in the anti-corruption battle have taken more than a passing interest in the ongoing probe into activities of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) under suspended acting Chairman Ibrahim Magu.
Key countries – some of them having mutual legal assistance treaties with the country – are monitoring the process of the investigation, it was learnt at the weekend.
They include the United States (U.S.), the United Kingdom (UK), the United Arab Emirates (UAE), France and Switzerland.
For one week, Magu has been detained. He was accosted on the road in Abuja and dragged to appear before the Justice Isa Ayo Salami Presidential Investigation Panel, which is probing allegations levelled against him by Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami.
On Sunday, he denied the claim that he failed to account for the interest in the N550 billion recovered fund kept in CBN's custody.
In a statement by his lawyer Wahab Shittu, Magu said such recovered fund kept with the Central Bank of Nigeria do not generate interest.
The statement said: "It is falsehood that Magu placed N550 billion recovered loot into a deposit account.
"The alleged transaction never featured in the proceedings before the Salami panel. Magu was never confronted with any such allegation by the panel and the news is blatant falsehood.
"To the best of Magu's knowledge, no such amount is in any such account and he remains aghast at such outrageous figures. No one has confronted Magu with such allegations.
"All recovered funds are lodged in the Treasury Single Account (TSA) with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Such recovered funds do not generate interest. This is elementary and can be verified from the CBN and the federal ministry of finance.
"This can also be confirmed from other government revenue generating agencies. Funds kept in TSA account do not generate interest."
Investigation by our correspondent revealed that the United Kingdom, the United States and others are closely monitoring development on the allegations against Magu and the activities of the Presidential Investigation Committee.
There are some investigative cases in which Nigeria and some of these foreign nations are collaborating on.
Looted funds, which Nigeria is battling to recover, were stashed away in some of these countries.
A top diplomatic source said some of these nations are taking their time to monitor what is going on which is why they have not issued a joint statement on the development in EFCC.
The source said: "Despite the fact that we have our individual intelligence on the development in your country, we are sitting and watching what is going on at the investigative committee.
"We want to know if the allegations against Magu are true; if the process of investigation is in conformity with international best practices; whether there is fair hearing and the implications of the challenge at hand for the anti-corruption campaign in your country.
"We are as curious as every Nigerian in knowing the truth about all these allegations. Ultimately, we desire strict commitment to the Rule of Law, social Justice, upholding the fundamentals of democracy and human rights, fairness and equity to all and a corruption-free Nigeria."
Another senior diplomat, who has deep knowledge of Nigerian politics, said: "My country knows a lot about power play in Nigeria ( even as it may apply to this case) but we are careful in dabbling in the affairs of your country.
"We are being meticulous in monitoring the fact-finding committee because its findings and recommendations might determine your commitment to the anti-graft activities."
An expert in one of the international agencies said: "All members of the Diplomatic Corps, global financial institutions and donor agencies are interested in the ongoing investigation of EFCC's activities under Magu.
"We have been comparing notes at the diplomatic level, especially by countries like the UK, the U.S., France, Switzerland, Italy, UAE and others. We are giving all the parties the benefit of the doubt, even though the activities of some political office holders are predictable in this circumstance,
"Whatever is the outcome, it will assist in reaching conclusions on where Nigeria is headed in fighting corruption and ensuring justice."
Also at the weekend, a global coalition against corruption wrote to President Muhammadu Buhari over Magu's travails.
It alleged that the former EFCC boss may be "a pun in the desperate attempts by corrupt officials to kill the EFCC or turn the agency into a willing tool of corrupt politicians."
The letter was signed by Mr.Lucas Manes (Re:Common); Nicholas Hildyard ( Corner House); Simon Taylor (Globalwitness) and Mr.Olanrewaju Suraju(HEDA)
The groups have been investigating corruption by Nigerian politicians and officials and the complicity of European and U.S. banks, companies and others in facilitating such corruption
The groups said: "What is going on in Nigeria is of concern to the international community. Mr Magu has proved himself to be up to the task. His determination to fight corruption is evident by the recovery of stolen funds and properties plus his own high moral ground earned at the cost of diligence and hardwork never before seen.
"His removal questions the will of Nigeria to deal with a major cause of the country's underdevelopment which is corruption.
"Some of the groups' most significant contributions to Nigeria's anti-graft effort is the historic exposure of Nigeria's top oil companies linked to large scale corruption and their on-going trial in Italy and other European courts.
"We are therefore greatly alarmed – as are others in the international anti-corruption movement – by reports that Magu has been detained and/or suspended following allegations against him that were reportedly made by the Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr, Abubakar Malami (SAN).
The groups said the international community was not opposed to Magu being investigated since all allegations of corruption must be thoroughly probed.
But it alleged that due process and the proper disciplinary procedures have not been followed.
It added: "The procedures are clearly being hijacked by detractors of Magu in the political space and this is eroding the potential credibility of the outcome of the panel constituted to probe these allegations. The hounding of Magu through seemingly politically connected sponsored media harassment only makes matters worse", the groups stated in the letter.
The coalition alleged that Nigeria's image may be dented if the situation at hand is not well handled.
The groups said: "We have been hugely impressed by the dedication of its investigators and by the disciplined leadership shown by Acting Chairman Ibrahim Magu.
"The agency is completely different from the sclerotic, timid, politically captured bureaucracy that it was In the receipt period. The credit for this is due in large part to you for appointing Magu and sticking with him despite efforts to unseat him.
"The respect that Nigeria has gained is exemplified by the recognition accorded to Magu, not least by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, which recently honoured him with an Award of Excellence.
"Indeed, in meetings we have had with this, and other agencies, conversations have often referred to the impressive current leadership of the EFCC.
"The Attorney-General of the Federation has apparently sought to bypass the usual administrative procedures of issuing a query to an accused officer under his ministry in favour of a political approach.
"The procedure risks severely denting Nigeria's reputation abroad and urging the President to enforce a "zero tolerance to political interference" as recommended by the Edinburgh research group.
"We note that many of the allegations reportedly made by the Attorney-General of the Federation have already been investigated by same AGF under your instruction in 2017 and that Magu was exonerated in respect of the corruption allegations: only those related to insubordination were freshly leveled.
"We are concerned that accusations of "insubordination" risk crossing the line that ensures the independence of prosecutors from political interference. Despite bearing false witness being illegal, no-one has been investigated or charged in relation to bringing the false allegations against Magu in 2017.
"We realize that you have been placed in an invidious position by the AGF. However, we very much hope that you will find a way forward that protects the huge strides made by the EFCC under Magu's acting chairmanship.
"We very much doubt if the Italian case on Malabu Oil Block (OPL 245) would have reached the stage that it has without his committed and diligent response to Mutual Legal Assistance requests. At this critical stage in the trial, his replacement for political reasons would be wholly regrettable and would only give succor to those being prosecuted."
