Some cities, in addition to or in lieu of lender transaction regulations, have enacted various land use measures to address the proliferation of the lender storefronts. An informal survey (PDF) of Texas ordinances prepared by Texas Appleseed is now available, as well as a report (PDF) by national consumer groups.
Payday Lending: Are Cities the Last Line of Defense? City officials across the state have seen the proliferation of payday and auto title lender storefronts. How can these lenders negatively affect your citizens? What has the state done (or not done) to reign in predatory lending practices? What happened during the 2013 regular legislative session that leaves cities as the last line of defense? In this session, you'll earn the answers to these questions, how some cities are taking matters into their own hands, and about the lawsuits filed by the industry.

The Town of Flower Mound has become the seventh Texas city to adopt an ordinance. In addition, some cities asked about what fee is appropriate to charge for a permit under the League's example ordinance. The Flower Mound ordinance sets the registration fee at $50, and that is common. Of course, the common law rule is that a fee should approximate the amount needed to administer the ordinance. Thus, the fee amount can be set by each city accordingly.
While many other states have enacted laws to restrict predatory lending practices, meaningful reforms have failed to pass the Texas Legislature in the last three sessions. Free of any statewide cap on lending fees, limits on loan rollovers, and other restrictions, the number of payday and auto title loan stores in Texas has exploded with over 2,000 new storefronts opening in the last six years. In the absence of state action, Texas cities are stepping up to adopt ordinances to protect their citizens from some of the worst predatory practices of this industry.
Payday lending is a practice where a person can walk into a store, typically located in a strip mall, and take a cash advance on his or her next paycheck. Most such businesses offer a similar cash advance with a car's title as collateral. The interest rates on the loans are very high. In fact, legal loopholes used by the lenders exempt them from the state's usury laws.
Interest rates, when fees are included, often exceed 500% APR. Fifteen states limit the APR to 36%. The products are marketed as two-week or one-month loans, but the vast majority of borrowers refinance, often six to ten times. In addition to the traditional short-term payday loan, companies have started to offer expensive longer term installment loans. One company offers a five-month installment loan for $1500. Customers must pay back over $3,862, an APR of 612%.
Borrowers who fall behind on payments can refinance multiple times; meanwhile, the interest and other fees keep piling up. It's not uncommon on the auto title lending side for people to lose their car altogether after multiple refinancings.
In Texas and across the country, the payday and auto title lender industry (also known as the "credit access business") has grown dramatically. The Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner (OCCC) reports that there are an estimated 3,000 credit access business locations in Texas alone. With the proliferation of the credit access business industry comes increased concerns about the harmful effects of Texas citizens entering a cycle of debt and dependency. Some cities are also concerned about public safety and the effect the businesses may have on property values. As a result, both the state legislature and a handful of Texas cities have taken steps to regulate this industry.
In 2011, the legislature addressed some of these concerns by passing legislation that both requires credit access businesses to provide consumer disclosures regarding their loan products, fees, interest charges, and percentage rates, as well as requires them to obtain a license with the OCCC (operating under the oversight of the Finance Commission of Texas), which in turn has some ability to examine these businesses. Some Texas cities viewed the 2011 legislation as insufficient to address the growth in the credit access business industry in their communities, and have since adopted ordinances that place additional restrictions on these businesses. The ordinances that have been adopted include zoning restrictions, substantive business regulations such as a limitation on the total amount of the loan, or both.
Several bills were filed during the 2013 legislative session that would have increased regulation of the credit access business industry. Other bills were filed at the behest of the credit access business lobby that would have preempted all city ordinances regulating the industry, including (in some cases) generally-applicable zoning and other health and safety ordinances. In the end, no legislation dealing with payday and auto title lenders passed in 2013. Consequently, under current law cities are not expressly prohibited from adopting ordinances regulating the credit access business industry in any way, including ordinances restricting business practices.
A credit access business must apply for and receive a certificate of registration from the city.
A credit access business must maintain complete records of all loans made by the business for at least three years and make the records available to the city for inspection upon request.
The amount of a payday loan may not exceed 20% of the consumer's gross monthly income.
The amount of an auto title loan may not exceed the lesser of three % of the consumer's gross annual income or 70% of the retail value of the motor vehicle.
Any loan from a credit access business that provides for repayment in installments may not be payable in more than four installments, and the proceeds from each installment must be used to repay at least 25% of the principal amount of the loan. No renewals or refinancing of installment-payment loans are permitted.
Any loan from a credit access business that provides for a single lump sum repayment may not be refinanced or renewed more than three times, and the proceeds from each refinancing or renewal must be used to repay at least 25% of the principal amount of the loan.
Any loan made to a consumer within seven days of a previous loan has been paid by the consumer constitutes a refinancing or renewal.
Cities contemplating the adoption of an ordinance regulating the lending practices of credit access businesses should consider adopting substantially similar regulations to those adopted by the six cities mentioned on this page. If Texas cities that wish to regulate in this area continue to adopt essentially uniform ordinances, credit access businesses will not be able to use the argument that city ordinances vary from city-to-city if they seek preemption legislation in 2015.
City officials should be aware that adoption of any ordinance regulating credit access businesses will likely cause stakeholders representing the payday and auto title lending industry to file a lawsuit.
Each city should consult with local legal counsel prior to adopting any ordinance. That is particularly true in this instance.

Audit Committee of the Association
Constitution of the Polish Judges Association "IUSTITIA"
Previous Authorities of Iustitia
Main Office and contact
We are an independent, apolitical and self-governing association of Polish judges.
Our main mission is to defend freedom and civil rights, which are the democratic foundations of Poland - a member of the the European Union.
We have been operating for more than 25 years, also as part of different international organisations of judges. We associate over 3,500 judges, most of them in Poland.
A detailed summary of the Judge Alina Czubieniak`s case.
March 22, 2019 was a breakthrough day for the Polish judiciary. On this day the government has indeed crossed the Rubicon River, shatteringly violating the rule of law and breeching the sphere of tie judicial independence of the judge. Alina Czubieniak the judge of the Regional Court (second level of the three level system of the common courts in Poland) in Gorzów Wlkp was convicted in the disciplinary proceeding by the judges of the new Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court for issuing the correct, consistent with the Constitution and the just judgment.
More: https://wiadomosci.onet.pl/tylko-w-onecie/alina-czubieniak-skazana-przez-izbe-dyscyplinarna-sn-na-kare-upomnienia/n1bf22e
Judge A. Brodniak - a Disciplinary Spokesperson at the Court of Appeal in Szczecin (third level of the three level system of the common courts in Poland) and the Minister of Justice put the judge Alina Czubieniak into two specific disciplinary allegations.
The first objection is that she ruled that the suspect should have a lawyer since the first hearing during the investigation held by tje prosecutor. The spokesperson and the Minister argued that the provisions of the criminal proceedings allow the defender to be appointed only in the judicial and not the investigation.
Meanwhile, the prosecutor got to know that the suspect was intellectually disabled, he could not write and read, it was clear from the psychiatrist's certificate that he was mentally ill. Nevertheless, the prosecutor continued his activities, handed the undecided read the documents and instructions in writing. The defendant was established only when the District Court in Międzyrzecz (first level of the three level system of the common courts in Poland) ruled on pre-trial detention. The lawyer lodged a complaint against the detention order and the case went to the Regional Court in Gorzów Wlkp. Judge A. Czubieniak, guided by the established case law, judgments of the European Court of Human Rights, the Constitution, issued the only possible and correct ruling- quashing the detention until further notice recognition because the fundamental right to defend a man who was mentally ill was violated. It should be noted that according to the Polish Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) appointing a lawyer is mandatory in any case that the defendant may be mentally ill.
The second complaint was based on the fact that when the judge overruled the detention order and remanded the case to the District Court for reconsideration, there was a threat to the injured party of the 9-year-old girl. This charge was not proved at all by the Disciplinary Spokesman and the Minister. The victim and the perpetrator did not know each other, did not live in a neighborhood, everyone was under the protection of their family. After the arrest and the case was re-examined in the District Court, the prosecutor took actions in the case. After 15 days, the perpetrator was arrested again, but retaining his rights of defense and the possibility of treatment, which was required by the state of health. Nothing happened to anyone.
The judgment over Judge Alina Czubieniak, released by the Supreme Court Disciplinary Chamber, has been widely criticized, because it interferes deeply with the essence of the judge's work, that is, independent, pressure-free decision-making according to the law.
Just after the Supreme Court judgment and the media storm, the complainant Spokesman and Minister of Justice, the nominee of Minister Z. Ziobro judge Piotr Schab the Disciplinary Spokesman of the Common Courts rushed with help. In his announcement of March 27, 2019 he claimed, that the Judge A. Czubieniak deprived the suspect's right of defense, because she did not provide him and his lawyer with participation in the proceedings of the District Court in pending proceedings for the application of pre-trial detention. In the opinion of the disciplinary spokesman, Judge A. Czubieniak obviously and grossly violated the provisions of art. 249 § 3 CPC.

The spokesman Piotr Schab after the conviction in the second instance prepared in the communique completely new disciplinary charges against the judge. They are based on false assertions and, intentionally or not, on a completely misreading of the provisions. Not only did he present in the communication allegations that were not the subject of the case, he still tries to assign duties to the judge, which he was not obliged to perform as a court of appeal.
The suspect is interrogated before the application of pre-trial detention. The provision of art. 249 § 3 CPC concerns only the court applying the arrest, in this case the District Court in Międzyrzecz. This Court was obligated hear the suspect and ensure attendance of his counsel. The Regional Court in Gorzów Wielkopolski only checked the legitimacy and legality of pre-trial detention as part of the lawyer's complaint and had no obligation to hear the defendant.
In the appeal proceedings before the Regional Court in Gorzów Wielkopolski held by judge A. Czubieniak, the suspect was already represented by a public defender, so he was not deprived of the right to defense. What is more, the Court accepted the appeal of the defendant's defender, so the defense proved to be effective.
Only the prosecutor and the defender, not the suspect (Article 249§ 5 CPC) participate in the hearing of the court hearing the appeal against the order of pre-trial detention. The defender was notified of the date of the Court session, and his participation in the meeting was not mandatory. In these circumstances, the statement of a Spokesperson on the violation of the rights of defense of the suspect by the Regional Court in Gorzów Wlkp appears to be completely unfounded - the content of the provisions governing the parties' participation in the appeal court session is unambiguous. Judge A. Czubieniak, by issuing the judgment, took care of human rights protection, and now the Spokesman P. Schab should not be not trying to change reality by giving facts that are untrue.
The Disciplinary Spokesperson from Minister`s nomination does not rectify anything by means of his message, he does not explain it and he gives public opinion untrue information, new "accusations" to judges who did not appear in the course of disciplinary proceedings.
P. Schab joined the Supreme Court disciplinary proceeding and the judge announced an appeal against the verdict. It may be an attempt to discredit the judges, and also to "add" time arguments for an unfounded conviction. Such behavior of the prosecutor in disciplinary proceedings is inappropriate and constitutes an unacceptable stress. The pro-government right-wing media are also using it propagating propaganda. The Spokesman, with the Minister of Justice behind him, a full range of ruling powers, has yet to attempt non-contentious forms of pressure in the disciplinary case.
The case of judge Alina Czubieniak and punishing her for a proper ruling, which may not please the prosecutor or the Minister of Justice, is a clear example of violation of the principle of independence of judiciary, which will certainly convince Europe and the Court of Justice about accusations against the Polish government for breaking legal standards. Citizens should be able to reflect on whether they want judgments dependent on the Minister of Justice in their own affairs.

Street to be renamed in honour of Crimean War VC recipient.
Press release • Aug 11, 2014 15:14 BST
A street in Heywood is set to be renamed in commemoration of Private Anthony Palmer, a Crimean war hero and Victoria Cross recipient, who is buried in Heywood Cemetery.
A heritage sign will be unveiled on Wood Street, outside Heywood Library, at 1.30pm on Sunday August 24, to mark the official renaming of the street to 'Private Anthony Palmer VC Parade'.
Other activities on the day have been jointly organised by Rochdale Borough Council and the Lancashire Veterans Association and include the 'Private Anthony Palmer VC' parade, which all veterans are invited to take part in. It will leave The Bay Horse pub on Torrington Street at 1pm.
Councillor Alan McCarthy, Lead Member for the Armed Forces, said: "Private Palmer's story is one of gallantry and selflessness, he is buried in Heywood and, as such, we have an obligation to preserve his memory and to recognise his incredible heroism."
Private Palmer was born on the 10 March 1819 in Brereton Green, Cheshire. He joined the British Army and served with the 3rd Battalion, Grenadier Guards during the Crimean War (1854-1856).
He is buried at Heywood Cemetery, in a family plot with father James and mother Mary Rachel. The citation on his gravestone reads 'An upright, valorous, god-fearing hero much beloved'.
Following the War, he was presented with the Victoria Cross, the highest military honour, by Queen Victoria at Hyde Park in London in June, 1857.
A digest of his VC citation reads:
"During the Battle of Inkerman, Crimea, on 5th November 1854, Brevet Major Sir Charles Russell offered to dislodge a body of Russian soldiers from the Sandbag battery if anyone would volunteer to go with him. Private Anthony Palmer volunteered. The attack succeeded. Private Palmer was present when the charge was made in defence of the Colours. Sir Charles Russell also witnessed Private Palmer make a single charge against the enemy. He undoubtedly saved Sir Charles' life when he shot an assailant who was about to bayonet him."
Private Palmer is also believed to be one of only 13 recipients of the Bentinck Medal for Gallantry. First presented by Major-General Sir Henry Bentinck, KCB in 1855, the medal recognised Guardsmen who had performed outstanding service, at a time when insufficient official awards for gallantry were available.
After leaving the army in 1863 he rose to become the Head Constable of The Millwall Dock Company. He died on 12 December 1892 at the age of 73, in Crumpsall Hospital, Manchester.
The unveiling of 'Private Anthony Palmer VC Parade' follows that of 'LCpl Joel Halliwell VC Way' and 'L Cpl Stephen Shaw MC Way', in recognising servicemen associated with the borough, who have received awards for their gallantry.
The street renaming is one of a host of events across the borough this year commemorating the sacrifice of British service personnel. To find out more visit www.rochdale.gov.uk/armedforces

WellCare Settles, Accepts Deferred Prosecution Agreement
'Tis the season for deferred prosecution agreements for health care organizations. As reported by the Wall Street Journal:
WellCare Health Plans Inc. agreed to pay $80 million to settle a Florida Medicaid fraud investigation that has embroiled the company since the fall of 2007, previously prompting a management shake-up and restatement of more than three years of the company's earnings.
The settlement resolves federal and state criminal probes into allegations that WellCare defrauded Florida benefits programs for low-income adults and children of about $40 million by improperly inflating what it spent on care.
WellCare, based in Tampa, Fla., administers medical benefits for about 2.5 million enrollees in government-sponsored plans in several states.
Under a deferred prosecution agreement, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida in Tampa filed a fraud conspiracy charge against the company but said it wouldn't prosecute the case if WellCare meets all of the deal's terms.
U.S. Attorney A. Brian Albritton said in a news conference Tuesday that his office could have pursued a conviction but that it likely would have put the insurer out of business, hurting customers, innocent employees and shareholders. In penalizing the company, 'we have, at the same time, tried to avoid crushing it,' he said.
Under the terms, WellCare must forfeit $40 million and pay another $40 million in restitution to Florida's Medicaid and 'Healthy Kids' plans. WellCare also has agreed 'to accept and acknowledge full responsibility for the conduct that led to the government's investigations,' according to the deferred prosecution agreement. The company declined to elaborate.
In addition, the company also must retain an independent monitor to review its business operations, cooperate with the government's ongoing investigations and implement new procedures within 60 days to prevent future abuse or faulty reports to state health care programs.
This was not the first bit of trouble WellCare got itself into. We posted here about how the state of Connecticut stopped WellCare from running a plan for poor children after the company refused to reveal what it was paying physicians, and why it was failing to pay for particular services.
So, as we have found from blogging on Health Care Renewal for a while, organizations that are found to be committing one sort of mischief often are also found to be committing another sort.
We also see some other familiar patterns. While human beings authorized or committed the acts that got the organization in trouble, rarely do these people seem to suffer any negative consequences. At most, the organization may pay a seemingly large fine. This, however, may come out of dividends or the stock price, dispersing the cost to stock-holders, or out of salaries across the board. Thus, those who got the organization into trouble are unlikely to feel pain from it. Perhaps because of reverence for all organizations related to health care, and fear that the bankruptcy of any health care organization, even a health care insurance company, will leave patients in the lurch, prosecutors do not seem inclined to actually prosecute such organizations. The net effect, though, seems to be that dishonest executives of health care organizations can continue to act with impunity.
Until bad leadership of health care organizations leads to negative consequences for those practicing it, health care leadership can be expected to continuously degrade.
By the way, one member of the WellCare board of directors is Regina Herzlinger, a well known and prolific health policy expert, and holds the Nancy R. McPherson Professor of Business Administration Chair of the Harvard Business School. As far as I know, Prof Herzlinger is one of the many health policy experts who avoids discussing the sorts of problems with the accountability, integrity, and transparency of health care leadership which is grist for the mill here at Health Care Renewal. Yet under the stewardship of such an august expert, WellCare had to "accept and acknowledge full responsibility for ... conduct" that included fraud. Perhaps, Prof Herzlinger, like many other main stream health policy experts, should learn to acknowledge that health care leadership may be unaccountable, opaque, dishonest, and sometimes flagrantly corrupt. Furthermore, Prof Herzlinger, like many other well-paid board members of health care organization, should pay a bit more attention to the mischief being committed by those who answer to her.

Mary Baker Eddy Biography
(Religious Leader)
Birthday: July 16, 1821 (Cancer)
Born In: Bow, New Hampshire, United States
Mary Baker Eddy was an American religious leader best known as the founder of a new religious movement called Christian Science. She was born in USA into a family of Protestant Congregationalists in the first half of the nineteenth century. From her childhood, she believed in a loving God, rejecting the Calvinist doctrine of 'predestination' and 'eternal damnation'. She was also a very sick child, suffering from different ailments for the first few decades of her life. At the age of forty-one, her search for an effective treatment took her to Phineas Parkhurst Quimby. Learning the importance of mind from him, she soon discovered her own methods of healing, which she called 'Christian Science'. Continuing to struggle, moving from one boarding to another, she tried to take her science to the public, being rejected most of the time. However, her persistence eventually paid off and she attracted a band of followers around her, publishing her bestselling book at the age of fifty-four. She founded her own church at fifty-eight. Known as the 'Mother' to her followers, she continued to work for the betterment of humankind until her death at the age of eighty-nine.

Childhood & Early Years
Mary Baker Eddy was born as Mary Morse Baker in Bow, New Hampshire, on July 16, 1821. Her father, Mark Baker, a religious man from a Protestant Congregationalist backdrop, was a firm believer in final judgment. He was very strict, often trying to break Mary's indomitable spirit with sticks.
Her mother, Abigail Barnard Baker née Ambrose, was also very religious; she once reprimanded Mary for picking up a pitch pine knot from a neighbor's property, as it amounted to stealing and violated of the Ten Commandments. However, unlike her husband, known for his temper, she was very soft and kind.
Mary was born the youngest of her parents' six children, having three brothers named Samuel Dow, Albert and George Sullivan, and two sisters named Abigail Barnard and Martha Smith. Among them, Albert was her favorite. She regarded him as her mentor and teacher.
As a child, Mary suffered from some kind of nervous problem, often falling on the ground, writhing and screaming. Sometimes, she was unconscious for hours, sending the family into panic. She also suffered from chronic indigestion, often eating only bread and vegetables, that too once a day, as a remedy.
From her childhood, she was opposed to the Calvinist doctrine of 'predestination'. Instead, she believed in a loving God, often wondering if "He" was really so benevolent, then why the world was full of misery, turning to the Bible for an answer.
At the age of eight, she started hearing a voice, calling her three times by her name in an ascending scale. The phenomenon lasted for twelve months until she mustered enough courage to answer it. An avid reader of the Bible, she soon began to wonder how Jesus healed people.
She was mostly educated at home, studying moral science, natural philosophy, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew grammar with Albert. By the age of ten, she was familiar with Lindley Murray's Grammar and the Westminster Catechism. She also began writing verses from an early age.
In 1836, the Baker family moved to Sanbornton Bridge, now known as Tilton. There she entered Holmes Academy. Later, she began to study at home with Reverend Enoch Corser, under whose guidance she began developing her spiritual and intellectual maturity.
Possibly in 1838, she entered Sanbornton Academy, the private school run by Professor Dyer Hook Sanborn in Bridge. In the same year, at the age of seventeen, she was received into the Congregational church in Tilton, despite the fact that she was vehemently opposed to many of its doctrines.
Quotes: Love, Heart
Cancer Women
Grief & Infirmity
In 1841, Albert, her favorite brother and mentor, passed away. Mary now began writing verses, investigating into the metaphysical implications of death. When she heard that Albert's political rivals were questioning his integrity, she wrote 'Lines on reading an attack upon the political career of the late Albert Baker.'
In June 1844, she lost her first husband and returned to her father's house, pregnant and penniless, lapsing into a state of chronic illness after the delivery of the child. For two years, she lived under the care of a household servant, trying to maintain herself by writing articles for various journals.
By 1846, she recovered enough to open a kindergarten school, but the venture was unsuccessful. Sometime now, she also worked as a substitute teacher in the New Hampshire Conference Seminary, which later became famous as Tilton School.
In 1849, her mother died. At that time, she was engaged, but her fiancé too died within three weeks of her mother's death. Her father remarried in 1850. Although she was allowed to live with the family, her son was sent away to live with the family nurse.
In 1853, she got married for the second time, becoming ill soon after that, trying various methods of treatment, failing in each of them. Finally, in 1861, she visited a water cure sanatorium, where she heard about Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, a magnetic healer.
Quotes: Love, Alone, Happiness
In 1862, Mary, at that time Mrs. Patterson, traveled to Maine, starting treatment under Quimby from October. By applying his idea that the mind is the key to good health, she began to feel better. She soon started holding lengthy discussions with Quimby on the methods of treatment, eventually becoming his student.
In 1864, she moved to Lynn, Massachusetts, with her husband. By then, she was well enough to take active part in social life, meeting friends, attending churches and writing for journals.
She also kept in touch with Quimby. However, she noticed that while she felt better when she was with him, her symptoms seemed to reappear as soon as she left his presence. Very soon, she started having reservations about some of his methods, especially about hypnotism.
On the evening of February 1, 1866, she slipped on the ice while returning from a meeting with her friends. The doctor found her condition to be critical. On February 4, she asked for the Bible, opening it at 'Matthew, 9:2', where Jesus Christ cured a man with palsy.
As she read the passage, the truth behind Jesus' healing became clear to her. Very soon, she got up and dressed, feeling far better than she ever had. She had gained a new insight and was hungry for more.
Founding of Christian Science
In 1866, Mary's husband deserted her, forcing her to move in with her sister. But as she was required to give up her unconventional belief, she had to leave her sister's home as well. For the next few years, she moved from place to place, living in poverty.
She spent her time on Biblical study, searching the scriptures, trying to find what she called the 'Science of Mind'. Soon, she became certain that ailments could be cured through an awakened thought arising out of awareness of God and rejection of drugs. This, she called 'Christian Science'.
She now delved deeper into her discovery, trying to find practical application, ready to apply it on anyone desperate for a cure. Sometimes, she was loved and welcomed, but in most cases, she was misunderstood and taunted.
In spite of being rejected, she never gave up, putting up her first advisement as a healer in 'The Banner of Light', a weekly spiritualistic journal in 1868. However, she always made it clear that she was not a spiritualist, clearly distinguishing 'Christian Science' from 'spiritualism', which took help from the spirits.
Although she was not spiritualistic and abhorred the idea, she knew many clients who believed in the concept and acted as a medium for them, sometimes out of goodwill and sometimes for money, possibly till late 1872. Concurrently, she gave lectures opposing spiritualism, weaning away many erstwhile spiritualistic clients.
She also taught small classes of students, while continuing to write. While her first student, Mr. Hiram S. Crafts, became an expert mental healer, she was disappointed with many others. Nonetheless, she continued to heal, teach and write, finishing 'The Science of Man' in 1870.
In February 1872, she began working on her most important book, having it published in 1875 as 'Science and Health'. Later renamed as 'Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures', it became the central text of the 'Christian Science'.
In 1876, she established Christian Science Association as a fellowship and professional organization. In the following year, she married Asa G. Eddy, becoming Mary Baker Eddy and setting up her new home in Boston. It provided her with the right ambience for healing and teaching.
Quotes: Love, Will, Need
Establishing a Church
In Boston, Eddy's lectures began to attract increasingly larger crowds. But the established churches continued to reject her theory. Undeterred, she founded the 'Church of Christ, Scientist' on August 23, 1879, becoming its first pastor.
Soon, her work began to blossom and in 1881, she opened the 'Massachusetts Metaphysical College' in Boston, where she taught Christian Science to 800 students until she closed it down in 1889. The tuition fee was $300 per student, a huge amount in those days.
In 1883, she launched 'The Journal of Christian Science', serving as its chief editor and also writing a number of articles for it. Later, some of these articles were collected and published in the form of a book, 'Miscellaneous Writings'.
In 1884, Mrs. Eddy took her movement to Chicago, from where it spread to other parts of USA. But along with many followers, she also had some detractors, who accused her of plagiarizing Quimby's work. Nonetheless, she continued with her own work.
In 1888, she opened a reading room, which began to sell the Bible along with her books and other publications. Very soon, other branches began to open similar reading rooms, and today there are more than 1,200 Christian Science Reading Rooms worldwide.
In 1892, she reorganized her church as 'The First Church of Christ, Scientist' and by 1894, the Mother Church in Boston had its own magnificent edifice built. In 1895, she gave up her post as the pastor, ordaining the Bible and 'Science and Health' in the position.
In 1898, she founded 'The Christian Science Publishing Society' for publishing her works and also the works of her followers. In the same year, she also launched 'Christian Science Sentinel', a weekly periodical written for the general audience.
In 1903, Eddy launched 'Herald of Christian Science' in response to a demand for a monthly publication on Christian Science in Germany. First published in German, it soon began to be published in twelve languages, catering to a worldwide demand for Christian Science literature.
Continuing with her work, she launched 'The Christian Science Monitor' in 1908. Thereafter, she busied herself with revising the 'Manuel of the Mother Church', which was published two weeks after her death in 1910.
Major Work
According to Eddy, 'Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures' is her most important work. In it, she has tried to establish that man is a spiritual being, not made out of matter and that "God is All-in-All… God is Mind, and God is infinite; hence all is Mind".
Personal Life & Legacy
In 1843, Mary Baker Eddy married George Washington Glover and moved to South Carolina with him. Within seven months of her marriage, her husband died of yellow fever and she returned to her father's house, pregnant and penniless, giving birth to her only child, George Washington Glover II, on September 12, 1844.
After her mother's death, her father married again and sent away her son. In 1853, she married Dr. Daniel Patterson, a dentist, with the explicit hope of being reunited with her son. But that did not materialize; they could not meet before 1879. She divorced Patterson in 1873.
In 1877, she married one of her patients, Mr. Asa G. Eddy, moving to Boston with him, at last finding peace and security. He died five years later, in 1882.
In her later years, Mrs. Eddy withdrew more and more from the activities of her church, spending quiet time in her home in Chestnut Hill, in the suburbs of Boston. There she died of pneumonia on December 3, 1910.
She was buried in Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where her memorial continues to attract popular attention. Around 1,700 Christian Science churches in 76 countries continue to carry her legacy to the present day.

PACAF commander speaks of enhancing partnerships
Published Sept. 26, 2006
By Staff Sgt. Julie Weckerlein
Air Force Print News
WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- Unlike European nations who have come together under NATO, the Pacific theater does not have a joint organization for defense and peacekeeping within its nations, said the Pacific Air Forces and Air Component commander here at the Air Force Association's annual Air & Space Conference and Technology Exposition.
Gen. Paul Hester, PACAF commander, spoke with media at the conference about efforts to enhance partnership between the U.S. and Pacific nations.
"This has been a slow opening," he said of the rare windows of opportunity to work and train with countries such as China.
"We actually hosted the Chinese during a combat search and rescue exercise in Guam, and we were able to invite other countries as well, and let them see Andersen and what we do there," the general said. "Our hope is that they return the opportunity for us to visit with them."
He said that for the time being, CSAR exercises are the easiest way to unite the countries, as PACAF is located in "the ring of fire, in regards to natural disasters," he said.
"We have earthquakes, volcanoes, monsoons and we saw the effects of the tsunami in late 2004 and 2005. Those are situations that will most likely bring everyone together into international waters."
PACAF's primary mission is to provide ready air and space power to promote U.S. interests in the Asia-Pacific region during peacetime and war. It's one of the largest commands, with about 45,000 military and civilian personnel serving in nine major locations, ranging from Alaska to Hawaii to South Korea. Working over such an expansive area of the globe and with vastly different cultures and nations has proven challenging, but worthwhile.
"We've been able to develop positive relationships with the people in Guam, Singapore, South Korea and other countries in that area, and we're still looking to invite more to join us," he said.
"Over in Europe, NATO has, since after World War II, agreed to come together for self-defense, to continue the conversations even when they don't agree, and we're still looking for ways to do that as well in the Pacific -- for people to come together in a non-threatening way for other nations to do business together."

Before your tenancy begins, your property manager must inspect the property and record the condition of the premises on a signed condition report. As the tenant you must then inspect the premises and complete the tenant section of this condition report to see if you are in agreement or disagreement with the condition of the various listed features. A copy must be returned to the property manager within seven days, keeping the second copy for yourself as a record, to be used at the end of the tenancy. Nowadays, photos are invariably used as part of the record on the property's condition.
Check who pays the water rates and any other specifically separate charges.
Your bond is security for the landlord if you stop paying rent or damage the property. It is generally the equivalent of four weeks rent for unfurnished properties but can be significantly higher for exclusive or fully furnished homes. You will sign a bond lodgement form and the landlord/property manager must lodge the money with the Rental Bond Board or statutory authority within seven days.
If all is in order you can claim the bond at the end of the tenancy and receive a refund. You must generally also pay a minimum of two weeks rent in advance at the start of the lease.
You and the property manager will agree on the rent you will pay and the method of payment before you move in. Rent can be paid weekly, fortnightly or monthly, via a variety of methods depending on your agency, most often direct debit. Cash payments are seldom accepted today.
The property manager must give you at least 60 days' written notice of any rent increase, subject to the terms of the rental agreement.
Requests for all repairs and maintenance must be made in writing or via an agreed medium to your property manager, usually via email or fax. These will be attended to as rapidly as possible with minimal disruption to you.
For any urgent emergency repairs such as plumbing, electrical or dangerous structural issues, phone your Property Manager immediately. If they are unavailable, check your tenancy agreement for the details of a nominated tradesperson to contact, or call emergency services where necessary.


Waste batteries and accumulators often contain hazardous substances such as mercury, lead and cadmium and thus should not be disposed of with household waste. That is why many countries have passed laws that regulate the take-back and proper recycling of batteries and include material restrictions.
In this context, the EU played a leading part and issued EU Directive 2006/66/EC for Waste Batteries and Accumulators. It establishes, for instance, uniform EU-wide collection and recycling quotas for waste batteries and accumulators as well as limits for the use of lead, cadmium and mercury. Manufacturers, importers and distributors of batteries and battery operated devices are responsible for taking back and disposing of waste batteries and accumulators.

Q: 2013 on-prem print to paper from Word web app? Something that just blew my mind. Yesterday I discovered that from the 2013 Word web app that users can't print to an actual printer, they can only print to pdf. This includes pdfs opened in the word app -- how recursive.
This page about 2010 suggest that a PDF plugin is required, but it seems that is can print.

Word Web App prints a document as it appears in Reading view. To print a document, click the File tab, and then click Print.

But in 2013 that feature seems to be replaced with print to pdf.
Oddly the Excel web app allows you to print to a printer.
All my searches talk up how awesome it is that it prints to PDF and then you can open that and print it. But users really don't like that intermediate step. It is really an awful UX.
Does anybody know if there is a way to enable actual printing in Word Web app? Are there any other work-arounds?

A: Word Web App has no direct option to print to a printer, only print to PDF. This true for on-prem and Office Online. The best user experience seems to be using Chrome with SharePoint Online, where Chrome will automatically open the standard Chrome print dialog box. It does not work on-prem, though.

A: Click File >Print > Print.
Word for the web generates a PDF copy of your document.
Click Click here to view the PDF of your document to open the PDF preview of your document.
Print your document:
On Windows 7, choose a printer and change or keep any other settings you want, and then click Print.
On Windows 8, in the Reader app, swipe up from the bottom of the screen (or right-click anywhere) and select Print. On the Print page, choose a printer, choose the settings you want, and then click Print.
On Windows 10, in the Reader app, swipe up from the bottom of the screen (or left-click anywhere) and select Print. On the Print page, choose a printer, choose the settings you want, and then click Print.
Hope You Find This Useful,

There has been a sense of renewal about England this week in the build up to Thursday's first Test against Pakistan at Lord's.
Joe Root has laid down the law on how he wants his team to train and prepare for matches, injecting a new level of discipline after a winter in which England lost six out of seven Tests and were dogged by stories of off-field boozing.
Dominic Bess will become England's youngest spinner for 87 years when he is handed his cap and has said he wants to attack like Graeme Swann, a confidence that was not heard from Moeen Ali and Liam Dawson, the two spinners who played at Lord's this time last year.
Jos Buttler will be unleashed at No 7 with orders to play his freestyle batting that makes him England's closest equivalent to AB de Villiers, just as that true great of the game retires from international cricket.
Jonny Bairstow has been installed at No 5, a show of faith in his superman abilities to combine keeping with a place in the top order, while Ben Stokes is back and free of injury for the first time since he returned to playing cricket for England following his legal troubles.
The rhetoric has been a far cry from the downcast days in Australia with Buttler speaking about making a 'second debut' while Stuart Broad feels "reignited" after a poor Ashes.
Root is expected to field at mid off to coax reluctant bowlers to pitch it up if that is what conditions dictate rather than take the backseat role in the slips where he stood last summer when he first took on the captaincy.
Now he has to hope all the pieces fall into place and his selection hunches are well-founded for he cannot afford to lose this series.
Root will decide his final XI this morning but if England are serious about putting their winter behind them then Mark Wood should play ahead of Chris Woakes. England badly lacked variation in Australia and Wood brings that extra zip.
Pakistan have also not faced any genuine pace on this tour and their Ireland Test was about surviving a swinging new ball. Batsmen were not required to duck. Pakistan will attack England, knowing they do not have the experience to see off James Anderson and Broad. It will make for entertaining cricket and possibly a short Test match.
England have thrown themselves into training this week and some even started netting at Lord's on Saturday.
They have taken up Root's challenge to prepare better. Mark Stoneman, criticised for not practising hard enough in the past, has lost weight and taken the hint on board as he fights for his Test career in this two-match series.
"I wanted more than anything the start of this year set down how we go about things going forward, regardless of what has gone before, this is the standards we need to meet and this is what I expect from us and how to prepare for the rest of the summer and beyond," said Root.
For Alastair Cook this is a significant match. He plays his 153rd consecutive Test, equalling the record held by Allan Border, but how many he adds to that number will be decided in the coming weeks. He is not exactly playing for his place in this series but has admitted he came close to retirement in the winter and as a player ages a lack of consistency leads to more inward reflection. His past year has included the Mont Blanc heights of two double hundreds but he flatlined the rest of the time.
For the team to have sustained success this summer it is Root and Cook who have to lead the way for both have underperformed to their high standards for the past two years and England have been inconsistent as a result. The power hitters lower down need a base to build from and it is Root and Cook's job to provide it. If that does not happen, then Ed Smith, the national selector, will have to think again.
Root's problem has not been technical, just lapses in concentration as he adjusts to captaincy and the burden it brings. This week he has started to stamp his mark on the team with his call to raise standards in training and perhaps that clarity will help his own batting and end his run of 12 fifties without a hundred that has cost England.
Moving to three cuts down his time to adjust from captaincy on the field to thinking about batting, but the fact he agreed to the shift shows he has more confidence in his leadership and ability to handle the responsibility.
It brings him a spot closer to Cook and when one does well the other usually follows. They have scored nine centuries between them over the past two years and six have been in the same matches. Root's highest Test score, 254 against Pakistan at Old Trafford, was accompanied by Cook scoring 105. When Cook made 243 against West Indies last summer, Root hit 136. England won both games at a canter.
For the next phase of Root's captaincy they could both do with a similar outcome.

Going to the movie theater should be a pleasant experience, but there's a good reason a lot of us stay home and wait for the movies we want to see end up on Netflix. Ticket prices are high, after all, and when you add in the cost of a beverage and a snack, you're often better off just watching movies in your living room when they become available.
When you do make it a point to go out to the movies, though, you generally don't expect to get physically assaulted. That, sadly, is exactly what happened to a two-year-old girl during a screening of Star Wars: The Last Jedi in Long Island, New York.
A 25-year-old woman named Keri Karman allegedly dumped her popcorn—which apparently cost almost nine dollars—on the aforementioned kid, who she did not know. She then proceeded to hit the kid with the popcorn container.
Keri was at the theater, located in Levittown, with her father Charles.
So why did Keri hit the kid? Well, it all started because the little girl named Harley asked her mother for popcorn. This occurred on the 2nd of January during the 4 PM showing of the movie.
According to Celia Riggs, the mother, all the little girl said was "popcorn"—the child didn't even speak a full sentence.
Riggs stated that she ran out of the theater with her daughter because the child was crying, and all Riggs wanted to do was get her daughter "out to safety".
While the incident occurred in early January, it wasn't until last Friday that Keri and Charles were charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
Riggs used social media to help identify the pair. On January 3rd, she posted what happened on Facebook. She explained that her 2-year-old daughter was assaulted while sitting by her side, adding that the police were involved—but the person who assaulted her daughter got away. She asked people with information to contact her as soon as possible, and referred to the woman who assaulted her daughter as a "lunatic". The post ended with #justiceforHarley".
In this case, it looks like justice will likely be served. Keri has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child, and her father has also been charged because he did not do anything to stop the unfortunate incident when it was happening.
During the incident, Keri allegedly started cussing at the 28-year-old mother of little Harley after Keri told Harley to be quiet. Keri then put her hand around the girl's mouth, dumped her popcorn on the girl's head, and then used the container to hit Harley. Nassau County Police ended up becoming aware of the situation because Harley had to go to the doctor that very day—she was complaining of head pain.
Using surveillance footage and receipts, police were able to identify the Karmans, and they were eventually arrested.
It is not known at this time exactly what sort of sentence the Karmans can expect.
That said, child endangerment is a pretty serious crime, and the penalties—if found guilty—can be harsh. It is considered a class A misdemeanor in the state of New York. Those found guilty could serve up to one year in prison as well as end up on probation for up to three years.
What allegedly happened to little Harley is awful, but it isn't the worst thing to ever happen in a movie theater—which is why so many people don't even bother going to the movies any longer.
If you'll recall, back in 2012 during a midnight screening of the Batman movie The Dark Night Rises in the state of Colorado, a man named James Holmes entered a theater and opened fire on the audience. He did so after he detonated tear gas canisters. Twelve died in the attack, and 70 were injured. One victim, Veronica, was only six years of age at the time of her death.
Other incidents that have occurred in movie theaters include stabbings and suicides. There have been several other shooting incidents in addition to the one that happened in Aurora, Colorado.
Consider staying home. Most of the really good movies end up being aired on television eventually anyway.

Let's swiftly implement 'New' New York blueprint
In this Crain's New York Business op-ed, CUF's Jonathan Bowles and Fisher Brothers' and Area15's Winston Fisher urges city and state leaders to re-imagine economic development to focus more on transit, open space, cultural vibrancy, housing, sanitation, and safety, which in today's talent-driven economy are as vital to the city's future economic competitiveness as any tax incentive or sectoral strategy.

In the months ahead, New York will need to build on the goodwill between the mayor and governor to move swiftly toward implementation of the "New" New York Panel's blueprint recommendations. And the city will have to go even further by bringing agencies together to execute a modernized economic development strategy that recognizes that transit, open space, cultural vibrancy, housing, sanitation and safety are as vital to the city's future economic competitiveness as any tax incentive or sectoral strategy.
In this op-ed, CUF's Jonathan Bowles and Fisher Brothers' and Area15's Winston Fisher highlight five core policies that should be a part of a new approach to economic development that is more nimble and less bureaucratic and prioritizes things that keep New York attractive, vibrant and convenient, including: improving transit; expanding open spaces; making new public and private investments in housing that is affordable; ensuring New York's cultural vibrancy; and making streets cleaner, safer, and more accessible.

Roughly 95% of people live in areas with 'unsafe' levels of air pollution
Don't breathe too hard.
in Health & Medicine, News, Pollution, Science
A new study published by the Health Effects Institute might just make you hold your breath — according to the findings, almost 95% of the world's population are breathing air that's deemed unhealthy by the World Health Organization (WHO).
According to the State of Global Air/2018 report, almost 95% of people in the world live in areas with higher levels of fine particulate matter than deemed safe by the WHO's guidelines.
The Institute used satellites and ground-level monitoring to obtain raw data for their study. They report that "an estimated 95 percent of people live in areas where ambient (outdoor) fine particulate matter concentrations (small dust or soot particles in the air) exceed the World Health Organization's Air Quality Guideline of 10 µg/m3. Almost 60 percent live in areas where fine particulate matter exceeds even the least stringent WHO interim air quality target of 35 µg/m3."
The report also takes a look at indoor household air pollution, stating that over 1/3 of the world's population is exposed to polluted air indoors as well. The prime source is the burning of fossil fuels for heating or cooking.
"For them, fine particulate matter levels in the home can exceed the air quality guidelines by as much as 20 times," the document reads.
Another worrying find is that the gap between the most and least polluted countries is also increasing: it's gone from six-fold in 1990 to over 11-fold today, Health Effects Institute vice president Bob O'Keefe told The Guardian. However, he also notes that there's reason for hope — most notably India's focus on electrification (which should help replace much of the country's domestic and industrial need for fossil fuels), and China's "aggressive" fight against air pollution, such as implementing stronger controls against pollution and making an effort to reduce coal use.
Air pollution plays a central role in all sorts of respiratory diseases and complications, contributing to poor public health and early death. It's become a huge issue, claiming more lives than wars, AIDS, and traffic accidents combined. Estimates place the number of air-pollution-associated deaths to over six million around the world last year.
The full document is available here.
