As climate change and air pollution continue to plague the world today, committed citizens are doing their part to minimize their environmental impact. However, financial limitations have hindered a majority of individuals from adopting clean, renewable energy such as rooftop photovoltaic solar systems. England Sustainability Consulting plans to reverse this limitation and increase affordability for residents across Northern California to install solar panel systems for their energy needs. The purpose of this proposal is to showcase a new approach to procuring solar panel system components while offering the same products needed by each customer. We will examine market data to further prove the feasibility of this business approach while remaining profitable and spread our company's vision across all of Northern California.

The following report addresses sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and its application in the fashion industry. The purpose is to draw conclusions on why companies implement sustainability into their processes, and how these sustainable monitoring practices contribute to operational, competitive and financial advantages. This report contains various methods of analysis. Research derived from numerous scholarly articles on measurement methods, theories and governance structures will be discussed to develop a background on the current status of SSCM in the fashion industry, including the notable strengths and weaknesses. To understand the depth of practices involved in managing a sustainable supply chain, four leading companies within the industry will be analyzed using their annual sustainability reports. Based on this analysis, it can be concluded that sustainable practices are abundantly present in today's leading fashion companies, each having different mindsets motivating their sustainable actions. With this conclusion, it's also important to acknowledge that there's far more progress to be made in terms of sustainable development on a company and industry level, in order to make a lasting impact.

The purpose of this project is to create an affordable and low-environmental impact housing model for high-density urban living. Detailed research was completed to select the Arizonan city of Tempe for the basis of this model such as author's preference and alarming demographic and economic factors. The finalized model will consist of shipping containers that will be converted into housing. These domiciles are ideal for a maximum of 1-2 occupants. The units will be stacked into communities to accomplish high density. These shipping containers will be used rather than brand new, the community landscape will consist of natural desert landscaping, a recycling program will be offered, and solar panels will be used to power the units. The decision for these features fulfills both the mission of the project and markets to the main demographic group of residents in Tempe, Millennials, who usually place sustainability in high regard. These units are meant to be purchased by the target market and other citizens to increase homeownership rates in Tempe. Their ownership rights will be analogous owning a condo, where they will own the converted shipping container itself, but not the property the unit is placed on. In addition, these units qualify for traditional loans and will appreciate similar to normal housing options. After conceptualizing the idea, various costs were analyzed for construction of the units. A critical component of the project is to receive government grants to fund the venture in order to continue the mission and keep prices of these units low. This model is expandable and could be moved to other cities within the state or potentially other states through future government grant attainment and success with the first installation. These communities will be managed by a company, Shipping Designs, which will be a limited liability company created by the author, Shauna Burgoyne.

The goal of this project is to gain and use knowledge of sustainability topics as a value-adding function for a business in the Tempe, AZ area and to develop the skills to approach and consult with business owners and staff about sustainable business options. Sustainability searches for a balance between society, economy and the environment where all three can thrive; therefore, the ideal project partner was a business that values the wellbeing of mankind, is locally owned and operated and promotes environmental stewardship. The Original Chop Shop Co in Tempe Arizona was appropriately selected. Throughout the duration of our partnership, I observed their daily routine, interviewed employees and managers and used the collected information to identify three areas of focus that have the largest potential to reduce The Original Chop Shop Company's impact on the environment. Information on the areas of recycling, composting, and food sourcing was researched and synthesized to make suggestions for ecofriendly changes to business practices. The scope of the project includes small changes in daily practices such as implementing a recycling and composting program and employee training sessions and minor investments such as purchasing a micro washer and silverware in order to eliminate nonrenewable plastic utensils. The scope does not include major renovations or investments in technology. The suggestions offered position The Original Chop Shop to conduct business in a way that does not compromise the health of the environment, society, or economy.

This thesis conducts research into the emissions from ocean going vessels and the ports that they dock at and current methods that are being pursued to help reduce the environmental impact of the ocean shipping industry. The main emissions from the industry analyzed are particulate matter, oxides of nitrogen, oxides of sulfur and greenhouse gases. One method of reducing the environmental impact of the industry is through the improvement of the vessels. The vessels are currently being improved through the exploration of using liquefied natural gas (LNG) instead of bunker fuel. It has been found that LNG takes up less space, costs less, and has fewer emissions compared to bunker fuel, making it an ideal replacement as a fuel source. In addition to changing fuel sources, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has created emission control areas around the United States and its territories mandating the use of ultra-low sulfur diesel within a certain range of land. There are two emission control areas with one being for the United States, Canada, and the French Territories of North America and the other for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. For the North American nations it is 200 nautical miles, while for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands it is 50 nautical miles. This is an external pressure encouraging current shipping companies to switch to LNG as a fuel source. A second method of reducing the environmental impact of the ocean shipping industry is to improve the ports. The ports are being improved by utilizing alternative maritime power, reducing the emissions of vehicles at the ports, and engaging all of the stakeholders of a port. Alternative maritime power (AMP) is the use of shore-side power sources to power the auxiliary engines of vessels while they are hotelling, at dock. AMP is also referred to as cold-ironing and is effective in reducing emissions from vessels because the auxiliary engines are powered by electricity as opposed to fuel. This is an expensive option to pursue because of the high investment costs, but the Carl Moyer Program provides analysis for the cost-effectiveness of projects to justify the high costs. The second facet of port improvements is decreasing the emissions from all vehicles at the ports. The Port of Los Angeles has gradually been phasing out trucks with old engines and even banning them from entering the port. Cargo handling equipment has seen similar restrictions to reduce emissions. Finally locomotives have seen requirements implemented causing them to improve their engines while implementing idling restriction technologies as well. These improvements have yielded tangible and effective results for the Port of Los Angeles. These initiatives have resulted in a decrease in emissions from the port since their inception in 2005 to 2011 (2011 being the last year that data is available). In that time frame diesel particulate matter has been reduced by 71% at 634 tons, NOx has been reduced by 51% at 8,392 tons and SOx has been reduced by 76% at a total of 4,038 tons. The final part of port improvements this paper looks into is the integration and engagement of all stakeholders. The Port of Los Angeles has all but approved the Southern California International Gateway Project (SCIG) by Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway. This project included the cooperation of BNSF, local unions, and local politicians to create a new rail yard that contains the highest sustainability standards for any rail yard. SCIG will employ numerous local people, require trucks to take alternative routes, reduce the amount of trucks on the highway, and help get products to consumers more competitively and efficiently. This will result in reduced emissions, decreased noise pollution, and less traffic congestion on Los Angeles highways. In conclusion it was found that real, effective, and cost-effective projects are being undertaken to improve the environmental impacts of the ocean shipping industry.

I present a new framework for qualitative assessment of the current green purchasing practices of U.S. state governments. Increasing demand from citizens for green public purchasing has prompted state governments to adopt new, and improve existing, practices. Yet there has been little assessment of public green purchasing in academic research; what has been done has not provided the conceptual support necessary to assess green purchasing practices as a single component of the procurement process. My research aims to fill that gap by developing a conceptual framework with which to assess the status of green purchasing practices and by applying this framework to determine and describe the status of green purchasing in the five most populous U.S. states. The framework looks at state purchasing practices through the lenses of policy, policy implementation, and transparency.

Ecolabels are the main driving force of consumer knowledge in the realm of sustainable product purchasing. While ecolabels strive to improve consumer's purchasing decisions, they have overwhelmed the market, leaving consumers confused and distrustful of what each label means. This study attempts to validate and understand environmental concerns commonly found in ecolabel criteria and the implications they have within the life cycle of a product. A life cycle assessment (LCA) case study of cosmetic products is used in comparison with current ecolabel program criteria to assess whether or not ecolabels are effectively driving environmental improvements in high impact areas throughout the life cycle of a product. Focus is placed on determining the general issues addressed by ecolabelling criteria and how these issues relate to hotspots derived through a practiced scientific methodology. Through this analysis, it was determined that a majority the top performing supply chain environmental impacts are covered, in some fashion, within ecolabelling criteria, but some, such as agricultural land occupation, are covered to a lesser extent or not at all. Additional criteria are suggested to fill the gaps found in ecolabelling programs and better address the environmental impacts most pertinent to the supply chain. Ecolabels have also been found to have a broader coverage then what can currently be addressed using LCA. The results of this analysis have led to a set of recommendations for furthering the integration between ecolabels and life cycle tools.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is used in the chemical process sector to compare the environmental merits of different product or process alternatives. One of the tasks that involves much time and cost in LCA studies is the specification of the exact materials and processes modeled which has limited its widespread application. To overcome this, researchers have recently created probabilistic underspecification as an LCA streamlining method, which uses a structured data classification system to enable an LCA modeler to specify materials and processes in a less precise manner. This study presents a statistical procedure to understand when streamlined LCA methods can be used, and what their impact on overall model uncertainty is. Petrochemicals and polymer product systems were chosen to examine the impacts of underspecification and mis-specification applied to LCA modeling. Ecoinvent database, extracted using GaBi software, was used for data pertaining to generic crude oil refining and polymer manufacturing modules. By assessing the variation in LCA results arising out of streamlined materials classification, the developed statistics estimate the amount of overall error incurred by underspecifying and mis-specifying material impact data in streamlined LCA. To test the impact of underspecification and mis-specification at the level of a product footprint, case studies of HDPE containers and aerosol air fresheners were conducted. Results indicate that the variation in LCA results decreases as the specificity of materials increases. For the product systems examined, results show that most of the variability in impact assessment is due to the differences in the regions from which the environmental impact datasets were collected; the lower levels of categorization of materials have relatively smaller influence on the variance. Analyses further signify that only certain environmental impact categories viz. global warming potential, freshwater eutrophication, freshwater ecotoxicity, human toxicity and terrestrial ecotoxicity are affected by geographic variations. Outcomes for the case studies point out that the error in the estimation of global warming potential increases as the specificity of a component of the product decreases. Fossil depletion impact estimates remain relatively robust to underspecification. Further, the results of LCA are much more sensitive to underspecification of materials and processes than mis-specification.

BU's newest recruit comes with an NHL pedigree, and, according to several sources, a "laser" of a shot.
16 year old Bobo Carpenter is the son of Bobby Carpenter, a one-time first round NHL draft choice, the first American-born player to scored 50 goals in an NHL season and the first U.S. hockey player featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated--with the headline "The Can't Miss Kid," no less.
A sophomore at Austin Prep, the 5-10, 185 lb. right-shot center from North Reading was second in team scoring (one point behind the leader) with a 16-14-30 scoring line in 24 games. He helped lead the Cougars to the 2013 Super 8 championship game at TD Garden, where they lost to Malden Catholic, after assisting on the game winning goal in the semifinal that eliminated his father's alma mater, St. John's Prep.
According to The Boston Hockey Blog, the soonest he'd arrive at BU is for the 2015-16 season. Other pursuers included Boston College, New Hampshire and Providence College. Carpenter's sister, Alex, a sophomore at BC, led Hockey East in scoring and earned All-America honors this past season.
CNH reporter and editor of The Mack Report Mike McMahon, who tweeted about Carpenter's verbal earlier today, also added in a tweet, "Carpenter, from what I saw, had one of the quickest releases I saw last year ... HEA included, not just HS hockey. He has a laser."
Austin Prep Head Coach Louis Finocchiaro recently told the Eagle Tribune that ""Bobo's relentless...He's got one of the hardest shots I've seen from a schoolboy."
"His work ethic is phenomenal. His positiveness on the ice, off the ice, in the locker room is impeccable ... He is a phenomenal hockey player. [Quinn] is going to be extremely, extremely happy with his choice of Bobo Carpenter when it is all said and done. I think he has got a diamond in the rough."
Prior to Austin Prep's winter season, Carpenter played for the Middlesex Islanders U18s in the New England Prep League. Evaluating the league's top players, USHR wrote: "Good bloodlines, we'd say. Bobo can really fire the puck. Plays with a lot of energy and is as tenacious as they come."
►Rising senior defenseman Garrett Noonan talked with WTBU Sports about his goals for next year, his decision to return for his senior season and his relationship with now-retired Coach Jack Parker.
►Thanks to the blog reader who points out that former Terrier Adam Clendening was recalled to Chicago for the Stanley Cup playoffs following a standout rookie season at AHL Rockford. The blueliner earned second team All-AHL honors after putting up nine goals and 37 assists. The 37 assists and his 46 points both established new records for first-year IceDogs.

SEC Nixes Stay of Statutory Disqualification
When FINRA finds a Respondent has engaged in a willful failure to disclose, that determination typical earns a statutory disqualification. You ask FINRA and the self-regulator will argue that it did not impose the SD but that it occurs by operation of law. FINRA claims that it does not impose a "statutory disqualification" but merely a finding of willfulness, which triggers the disqualification. That all may strike you as a lot of esoteric, legal mumbo jumbo. It may well be. On the other hand, an appeal of a FINRA finding of willfulness is now on the SEC's radar screen and the ramifications of this academic debate take on very serious real-life consequences.
In the Matter of Department of Enforcement, Complainant, v. Richard Allen Riemer, Jr., Respondent (Decision, Office of Hearing Officers, 2013038986001 / November 4, 2016) , the syllabus states that:
For willfully failing to timely update his Form U4 to disclose two tax liens and a bankruptcy petition and making false statements to his firm on annual compliance questionnaires, Respondent is suspended from associating with any FINRA member firm in any capacity for six months and fined $5,000. His willful violation subjects him to statutory disqualification. Respondent is assessed the costs of the hearing.
Respondent Riemer appeared pro se. In reaching its findings and imposing sanctions, the Office of Hearing Officers ("OHO") Panel explained in pertinent part that [Ed: footnotes omitted]:
Riemer testified truthfully at the hearing, repeatedly accepting responsibility for his decision not to disclose the IRS liens and bankruptcy. He convincingly expressed considerable remorse for his actions. Nonetheless, the Hearing Panel finds that Riemer's contrition is outweighed by the considerable length of time he failed to make required disclosures, the nature of the events he failed to disclose, and his repeated false statements to his firm.
Riemer urges the Hearing Panel to find that he did not act willfully because doing so subjects him to a statutory disqualification. He testified that National Life has told him it will discharge him if this disciplinary action results in a statutory disqualification. The Hearing Panel however does not impose a statutory disqualification as a sanction. Instead, it is a collateral consequence arising from the operation of Section 3(a)(39)(F) of the Exchange Act when there is a determination that a person willfully failed to disclose material information on his Form U4.

NAC Decision
On appeal to FINRA's National Adjudicatory Council ("NAC"), Riemer again represented himself. In the Matter of Department of Enforcement, Complainant, v. Richard Allen Riemer, Jr., Respondent (Decision, NAC, 2013038986001 / October 5, 2017) http://www.finra.org/sites/default/files/NAC_2013038986001_Riemer_100517_0_0.pdf In affirming OHO's findings and sanctions, the NAC Decision explains that:
Riemer's primary argument on appeal is that the statutory disqualification resulting from his willful failures to update and timely update his Form U4 is actually a sanction imposed by FINRA, which renders the sanctions imposed excessive and punitive. Reimer's argument has no merit.
As discussed above, Riemer's statutory disqualification is a consequence imposed by operation of Section 3(a)(39)(F) of the Exchange Act and is not a sanction imposed by FINRA. See McCune, 2016 SEC LEXIS 1026, at *37; see also Anthony A. Grey, Exchange Release No. 75839, 2015 SEC LEXIS 3630, at * 47 n.60 (Sept. 3, 2015) (explaining that a "statutory disqualification is not a FINRA-imposed penalty or remedial sanction"). The imposition of the statutory disqualification is "automatic" where, as here, a respondent has willfully failed to disclose material information of a Form U4. See McCune, 2016 SEC LEXIS 1026, at *37.
Page 10 of the NAC Decision
SEC Order
On October 20, 2017, Riemer appealed to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and moved for a stay of FINRA's Decision. In the Matter of the Application of Richard Allen Riemer, Jr. for Review of Action Taken by FINRA (Order Denying Stay, '34 Act Rel. No. 82014, Admin. Proc. File No. 3-18262 / November 3, 2017), we are informed that:
[R]iemer requests that the Commission stay "the final disciplinary action of FINRA," set forth in its decision, and argues that he will be terminated from employment in the insurance industry if FINRA's statutory disqualification finding remains effective during his appeal. FINRA did not respond to Riemer's motion . . .
Artful or not, pro se litigant Riemer moved for a stay of FINRA's "final disciplinary action." The gist of his arguments appear to be focused on getting the SEC to stay the finding by FINRA that his conduct was "willful," and, as such, triggers the characterization of his conduct as falling under the ambit of a "statutory disqualification." Notwithstanding the imposition of only a six week suspension, Riemer's statutory disqualification amounts to a Bar subject to his right to apply for a waiver.
SIDE BAR: FINRA Rule 9370: Application to SEC For Review states that the mere filing by a respondent of an application for review by the SEC stays any sanction in a final disciplinary action except for a Bar or Expulsion. Assuming that the stay of FINRA's sanction is perfunctory upon filing for review, one then has to consider why the SEC has Rule of Practice 401(d): Stay of an Action by a Self-Regulatory Organization. Despite appearing to address the same issues, the FINRA Rule addresses the stay of its "sanction," whereas the SEC Rule addresses the stay of an "action." Pointedly, if the SEC's response to a requested stay of a FINRA sanction is that "we don't need to impose a stay on our end because FINRA has imposed one on their end," then such an explanation suggests a need for the two regulators to review their separate rules and provide meaningful clarification. As minor or "semantic" as the confusion may seem to you, keep in mind that not all parties seeking an SEC review of a FINRA action/sanction are lawyers, as is the case with Riemer. Consider the following:
FINRA Rule 9370: Application to SEC for Review
(a) Appeal to SEC; Effect
A Respondent aggrieved by final disciplinary action pursuant to the Rule 9200 Series or the Rule 9300 Series may apply for review by the SEC pursuant to Section 19(d)(2) of the Exchange Act. The filing with the SEC of an application for review by the SEC shall stay the effectiveness of any sanction, other than a bar or an expulsion, imposed in a decision constituting final disciplinary action of FINRA for purposes of SEA Rule 19d-1(c)(1).
(b) FINRA Notification to Member
FINRA shall promptly notify any FINRA member with which a Respondent is associated if the Respondent files an application for review to the SEC.
SEC Rule of Practice 401: Issuance of Stays.
(a) Procedure. A request for a stay shall be made by written motion, filed pursuant to Rule 154, and served on all parties pursuant to Rule 150. The motion shall state the reasons for the relief requested and the facts relied upon, and, if the facts are subject to dispute, the motion shall be supported by affidavits or other sworn statements or copies thereof. Portions of the record relevant to the relief sought, if available to the movant, shall be filed with the motion. The Commission may issue a stay based on such motion or on its own motion.
(b) Scope of Relief. The Commission may grant a stay in whole or in part, and may condition relief under this rule upon such terms, or upon the implementation of such procedures, as it deems appropriate.
(c) Stay of a Commission Order. A motion for a stay of a Commission order may be made by any person aggrieved thereby who would be entitled to review in a federal court of appeals. A motion seeking to stay the effectiveness of a Commission order pending judicial review may be made to the Commission at any time during which the Commission retains jurisdiction over the proceeding.
(d) Stay of an Action by a Self-Regulatory Organization.
(1) Availability. A motion for a stay of an action by a self-regulatory organization for which the Commission is the appropriate regulatory agency, for which action review may be sought pursuant to Rule 420, may be made by any person aggrieved thereby.
(2) Summary Entry. A stay may be entered summarily, without notice and opportunity for hearing.
(3) Expedited Consideration. Where the action complained of has already taken effect and the motion for stay is filed within 10 days of the effectiveness of the action, or where the action complained of, will, by its terms, take effect within five days of the filing of the motion for stay, the consideration of and decision on the motion for a stay shall be expedited in every way, consistent with the Commission's other responsibilities. Where consideration will be expedited, persons opposing the motion for a stay may file a statement in opposition within two days of service of the motion unless the Commission, by written order, shall specify a different period.
SEC Rule of Practice 420: Appeal of Determinations by Self-Regulatory Organizations.
(a) Application for Review; When Available. An application for review by the Commission may be filed by any person who is aggrieved by a determination of a self-regulatory organization with respect to any
(i) final disciplinary sanction;
(ii) denial or conditioning of membership or participation;
(iii) prohibition or limitation in respect to access to services offered by that self-regulatory organization or a member thereof; or
(iv) bar from association as to which a notice is required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 19(d)(1) of the Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. 78s(d)(1).
(b) Procedure. An application for review may be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 151 within 30 days after notice of the determination was filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 19(d)(1) of the Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. 78s(d)(1), and received by the aggrieved person applying for review. The application shall be served by the applicant on the self-regulatory organization. The application shall identify the determination complained of, set forth in summary form a brief statement of alleged errors in the determination and supporting reasons therefor and state an address where the applicant can be served with the record index. The application shall be accompanied by the notice of appearance required by Rule 102(d).
(c) Determination Not Stayed. Filing an application for review with the Commission pursuant to paragraph (b) of this rule shall not operate as a stay of the complained of determination made by the self-regulatory organization unless the Commission otherwise orders either pursuant to a motion filed in accordance with Rule 401 or on its own motion.
(d) Certification of the Record; Service of the Index. Fourteen days after receipt of an application for review or a Commission order for review, the self-regulatory organization shall certify and file with the Commission one copy of the record upon which the action complained of was taken, and shall file with the Commission three copies of an index to such record, and shall serve upon each party one copy of the index.
FINRA Belt and SEC Suspenders
In considering Riemer's Motion for Stay, the SEC Order explains in Footnote 7 that:
FINRA Rule 9370(a) ("The filing with the SEC of an application for review by the SEC shall stay the effectiveness of any sanction, other than a bar or an expulsion, imposed in a decision constituting final disciplinary action of FINRA for purposes of SEA Rule 19d- 1(c)(1)."); see also Thaddeus J. North, Exchange Act Release No. 80490, 2017 WL 1397541, at *1 (Apr. 19, 2017) (denying applicant's motion for a stay of monetary fine and time-limited suspensions imposed by FINRA as moot given operation of Rule 9370(a)).
To better frame Riemer's motion and underlying issue, consider this {Ed: footnotes omitted]:
FINRA found that it was undisputed that Riemer knew about and did not disclose his bankruptcy and federal tax liens on his Form U4. FINRA concluded that Riemer acted willfully by failing to update his Form U4 under these circumstances, and that the tax liens and bankruptcy were material. Based on these findings, FINRA concluded that Riemer was subject to statutory disqualification. FINRA rejected Riemer's argument that its statutory disqualification finding was an excessive and punitive sanction. FINRA concluded that statutory disqualification was not a sanction, but rather a consequence imposed by the Exchange Act
Page 2 of the SEC Order
Notwithstanding the SEC's reference to the automatic nature of the stay of FINRA "sanctions" and the parenthetical commentary about the mootness of such motions, Riemer argued that:
On October 20, 2017, Riemer filed an application for review of FINRA's decision with the Commission. At the same time, Riemer moved for a stay of FINRA's decision. Although FINRA rules stayed Riemer's suspension and monetary sanctions during the pendency of his appeal to the Commission, Riemer asserted that absent a stay, he "will be subject to statutory disqualification during the pendency of any review by the SEC and will lose his job." Riemer explained that he "currently works outside the securities industry as an insurance agent for National Life of Vermont," which he says has told him "it will immediately terminate" his affiliation if he is subject to statutory disqualification. "Without employment, Riemer[] . . . fears being unable to provide for his family."
Pages 2 - 3 of the SEC Order
Although the automatic nature of the stay of FINRA's sanctions on Riemer seem -- well, you know, automatic -- the SEC denied Riemer's requested stay. Keep in mind that the denial of the Motion to Stay does not go to the merits of Riemer's appeal but solely to his attempt to hold off what he views as the implementation of the statutory disqualification. The SEC Order explains in pertinent part that [Ed: footnotes omitted]:
In deciding whether to grant a stay under Rule of Practice 401, the Commission considers: (i) the likelihood that the moving party will eventually succeed on the merits of the appeal; (ii) the likelihood that the moving party will suffer irreparable harm without a stay; (iii) the likelihood that another party will suffer substantial harm as a result of a stay; and (iv) a stay's impact on the public interest.The moving party has the burden of establishing that a stay is warranted.
Riemer has failed to meet his burden. First, although our analysis of the merits of Riemer's appeal is necessarily preliminary, and "[f]inal resolution must await the Commission's determination of the merits of [movant's] appeal," it does not appear at this stage that there is a strong likelihood that Riemer will succeed on the merits. Indeed, Riemer does not even assert that his appeal is likely to succeed. Rather, Riemer addresses the merits of his appeal only in his application for review (and there in summary fashion), which repeats arguments that FINRA rejected below. Riemer does not attempt to rebut FINRA's findings or further develop his arguments, let alone explain why they now are likely to succeed before the Commission. And it appears from his application that Riemer may have narrowed his arguments on appeal: Riemer's application for review does not specifically challenge FINRA's finding that he acted willfully, a core determination with respect to statutory disqualification.
Second, Riemer does not identify any irreparable harm that he will suffer in the absence of a stay of FINRA's decision. To establish irreparable harm, Riemer must show an injury that is "both certain and great" and "actual and not theoretical." A stay "will not be granted [based on] something merely feared as liable to occur at some indefinite time," and a "movant must show that the alleged harm will directly result from the action which the movant seeks to [stay]." Moreover, "�[m]ere injuries, however substantial, in terms of money, time, and energy necessarily expended in the absence of a stay, are not enough' to constitute irreparable harm."
Riemer's claimed injuries do not satisfy this standard. Riemer asserts that without relief he will lose his job working for an insurance company, and thus his income. Assuming that a third party's threatened termination of Riemer from the insurance industry satisfies the direct causation requirement, "the fact that an applicant may suffer financial detriment" -- here the potential loss of income -- "does not rise to the level of irreparable injury warranting issuance of a stay." Riemer also states that if he loses his job he fears he will be unable to provide for his family. But these speculative "fears" do not meet the irreparable harm standard, particularly where, as here, Riemer does not assert (much less establish) that he could not find other employment.
The remaining elements, which Riemer fails to address, do not support granting a stay. FINRA found that Riemer willfully failed to disclose tax liens and his bankruptcy. The Commission has explained that a registered representative's serious undisclosed financial problems "raise concerns about whether [he] could responsibly manage his own financial affairs, and ultimately cast doubt on his ability to provide trustworthy financial advice and services to investors relying on him to act on their behalf as a securities industry professional." And it has sustained prior FINRA determinations that a willful and material failure to disclose on a Form U4 renders the violator subject to statutory disqualification. Any relief staying FINRA's statutory disqualification finding here while the Commission considers Riemer's appeal of that finding could endanger investors. It would allow Riemer to seek employment in the securities industry without the protections provided by FINRA's membership continuance application process, which considers the public interest when weighing whether to allow a proposed association that is otherwise prohibited. The public interest and the risk of harm to others therefore do not support Riemer's motion. Particularly in light of Riemer's complete failure to attempt to establish a likelihood of success on the merits, we find that the public interest and risk of harm to others far outweighs any claimed irreparable harm.

When Israel killed 2,200 Palestinians, including 577 children, in its 2014 war on Gaza, Cameron says it was just 'defending itself'.
BRITISH Prime Minister David Cameron has defended the Israeli regime's 2014 military aggression against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Cameron said in an interview with the UK-based Jewish Chronicle on 30 April 2015 that Tel Aviv had a right to "defend" itself when it began its war on Gaza in July 2014.
Israel started airstrikes against the besieged Palestinian territory in early July 2014 and later expanded its military campaign with a ground invasion. The war ended in late August that year.
Nearly 2,200 Palestinians, including 577 children, were killed in Israel's 50-day onslaught and over 11,100 others, including nearly 3,380 children, 2,088 women and 410 elderly people, were injured. Tens of Israelis were also killed during the war.
Cameron said it was "important to speak out" about standing by Israeli.
The British prime minister's remarks are his latest ones in showing support for the Israeli regime.
Cameron's support for the Israeli war on Gaza last summer resulted in the resignation of Britain's then Foreign Office Minister. Sayeeda Warsi. Warsi stepped down in August 2014 over Cameron's "morally indefensible" failure to condemn the sufferings in Gaza.
Numerous rights groups and NGOs have also condemned the 2014 Israeli war.
Last month, the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) declared month in a report that Israel perpetrated war crimes and crimes against humanity during its devastating military onslaught on the besieged Gaza Strip in July-August 2014.
Furthermore, chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat announced on March 30 that the International Criminal Court (ICC) had started investigating war crimes committed by Israel during the war on Gaza.
The Palestinian Authority formally became a member of the ICC on April 1, which enables Palestinians to sue Israeli officials for war crimes.

David Cameron with that line of thought is himself a murderer.

Unfortunately, this caused me great concern. Here's why.
SunBreeze Oil & SunBreeze Balm penetrate quickly for deep, soothing relief.
Dermal absorption is the transport of a substance from the outer surface of the skin into deeper layers of the skin and the body. Studies show that our skin absorbs constantly, even without our awareness. In some cases, the skin may represent the most significant exposure pathway. Many commonly used chemicals in household and health & beauty products could potentially result in systemic toxicity if they penetrate through the skin. Then they enter the blood stream and cause health problems away from the original site of entry.
The rate of dermal absorption and affectation of other areas of the body depends on many factors. The main factor is the epidermal or outer layer of the skin. The purpose of this layer is to a gatekeeper that prevents molecules from passing into and out of the skin, thus protecting the lower layers of skin and the bloodstream that feed the rest of the body. The extent of absorption also depends on several factors including any existing skin allergies, infections, injuries, irritants and the overall health of the individual.
The more product that is applied and the longer that product applied causes long term absorption into the body.
Most over the counter health, beauty and medicinal products are not fully regulated by the FDA. Manufactures are allowed to use ingredients and materials without the FDA's review or approval. This means that you are being exposed to thousands of chemicals in everyday products. Many of these ingredients are carcinogens and contaminants that can be harmful and even deadly to humans. These ingredients can affect reproductive health and the health of an unborn child.
Simple. The Ingredients in SunBreeze are better than any other products.
All natural SunBreeze Balm has soothing health benefits.

Sunrider owns the manufacturing facilities and oversees the entire process with strict quality controls throughout.

It also ensures that SunBreeze Oil and SunBreeze Balm products remain potent, safe and pure.SunBreeze Oil and SunBreeze Balm are made with organic ingredients like Mint extract, Cassia (Chinese Evergreen Tree – Cinnamon) and Eucalyptus Oil. These botanicals have been used for hundreds of thousands of years, especially in ancient Chinese cultures, to treat and relieve painful muscle and joint ailments; alleviate arthritic pain, soothe the mind, relieve tension headaches and stress; and, calm the body and the soul.
SunBreeze is highly effective and will not cause adverse effects. It promises only pure, powerful pain relief designed to heal and restore the entire body naturally.
Is SunBreeze Oil safe for my child or baby?
Sends soothing relief to tired, sore and sprained muscles and joints.

Kong is back, and literally bigger than ever. It's the 1970's, so you know the music is good, and the group of explorers, scientists, and soldiers that go to Skull Island is extra, extra large -- full of red shirts, and people who don't need to survive to the end of the movie. Mayhem is in the air. And it smells delicious.
And a bit like monkey breath?
The movie is directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, a name I didn't recognize at first, but his style I did. He directed The Kings of Summer, a movie that most are less likely to have seen than Kong, but a great movie with a love for nature and an eye for stylish macro shots. That style translates magnificently to this film, and is enhanced to epic proportions. As the steadily dwindling group explores the island we get to explore it too, through the camera's wondering eye. The beauty and the creativity is not what you conventionally see in a monster flick, but with how well it works you'd think it would be.
Vogt-Roberts did not hold back on any visual aspect of the movie -- any. The location shooting and the attention to detail for the era made it almost impossible for me to shake the feeling that I was actually watching a movie from the 70's -- an unexpected but welcome feeling. Of course the special effects were miles better than anything 40 years old could give us, and in fact were a good distance better than what most CGI-heavy flicks crank out these days too. This movie was made to be a visual feast of epic entertainment, and there was no skimping on achieving that goal.
Every sequence was a new array of colors and shapes and textures and immaculate focusing and sweet music...
I only have one question: how did they manage to collect this cast? A bunch of them hail from (or will soon join) Marvel movies -- Tom Hiddleston is the cool-and-collected tracker-for-hire, Brie Larson is the spirited war photographer, Samuel L. Jackson is the squad leader, John C. Reilly is oddball scene-stealing highlight of the whole movie, and Shea Whigham, and Toby Kebbell (yes I'm counting Fant4stic) are soldiers. (Kebbell also provided some facial mo-cap for Kong, though the vast majority of Kong was Terry Notary.) Otherwise, there's John Goodman as the expedition instigator, and his scientist colleges Corey Hawkins and Tian Jing. Jason Mitchell and Thomas Mann round out the soldiers with memorable roles. I said it was a big cast! And that's just the people who, if they die, you feel sad for.
The deaths are pretty sad too, in spite of the overwhelmingly fun tone of the film; or maybe because of it, with dramatic contrast. The characters were defined well by all having their little niche or quirk which made them memorable, but they were also underdeveloped in the classic action flick way. It seemed particularly as though Hiddleston and Larson's characters were purposefully being held back -- saving the development for sequels perhaps. Still, they were effortlessly charming together. I was on board with this film since Tom was announced to star, and he didn't let me down.
Even though he was a little pointless. I think the movie got a few conflicting rewrites. You can almost see the plot that was removed.
John C. Reilly stole the whole movie of course, was hilarious and simultaneously the backbone of the film's heart, which yes, it did have plenty of for its genre. Another who unexpectedly left a big impression was Toby Kebbell's human role. I've always been interested in his work but was so far unable to properly appreciate it due to disappointing role choices and lots of motion capture parts. Because of how expressive he is, he's great at mo-cap, but that means that without the CGI translation he's even better -- and here he is finally a live-action, well-written, sympathetic character, and thus he has finally turned my head. And he was the only character whose name I learned!
In my favorite scene he comes across Kong at a lake and watches the giant ape take a drink -- the excess water sounding like a waterfall as it pours back into the lake -- and then battle a giant lake-squid and eat it in a humorous manner. And that pretty much sums up the whole movie for me. It's odd, ridiculous, epic and funny, with realistic attention to detail, and there's a bunch of faces in the background who look really good under a macro lens.
Pretty location, pretty filming, pretty people.
There were a few aspects that could have been improved without creating an imbalance. The ending was a bit sudden and messy, character's names are nice to know, and whenever the plot strayed from the basic goal it couldn't spend enough time away to satisfy and threads were cut short. But, mostly, the things you'd instinctively think are flaws were really conscious decisions for the sake of the tone and style of the movie. Focusing on character, or going deep into a moral themes or a complex plot is all well and good, but Kong included those things only as far as they didn't detracted from the beautiful, gleeful spectacle -- its priority. And considering that this is a movie about a fantastical island full of jumbo-sized monsters and wacky fantasy creatures that do battle with each other, I feel like the priorities were in the exact right place.

Sounds really good! I'm looking forward to seeing it. But I'm really curious how it was compares to the 2005 version. Cause the 2005 version blew my mind and I'm not sure if it can get any more epic than that.
Mayank Nailwal March 12, 2017 at 4:52 AM
It doesn't tops the 2005 Peter Jackson starrer King Kong. But it's damn entertaining. Watch it 👍👍
Sarah March 16, 2017 at 10:35 AM
It's really different from PJ's King Kong! I enjoyed them both differently. It's super epic, but in a unique way that doesn't demand comparison. :) Hope you enjoy!
Superb review Sarah 👌👌
You are the first one to appreciate the miraculous cast of Kong 😃
I have been noticing a lot of people complain about the film's mediocrity. Like it doesn't break new grounds. Or it's an old wine in a new bottle.
I think it was perfect. Even the ending which bothered you was solid imo. I was surprised by its immersive appeal. In spite of being just 2 hour long, it felt much lengthier (in a good way ofcourse). There were so many characters to juggle but everyone got ample amount of time to leave an impression.
Also, about John C Reilly, I think he was great. He added the emotional appeal but it was L. Jackson who did the best work. As the strong headed Colonel, he was simply phenomenal (and pure evil). It was his villainy which actually competed with Kong rather than the Skullcrawlers 😀
Thanks a bunch! Yeah I noticed a lot of critics hardly mention the cast or characters, but even though they were underdeveloped they were my favorite part! Like you said they all have their moment to shine and make us feel for them. :)
I wouldn't describe it as groundbreaking, but I think the people who wanted that simply had a different vision from the filmmakers. I think it was 100% what it was meant to be, and I'm glad that was what I wanted too!
True, I didn't really talk about SLJ... trying to avoid spoilers I guess, but I agree he was excellent! He had some really decent development (I disagree that he was pure evil -- he thought he was doing the right thing!) But yeah he was actually significant next to the monsters!
I agree. It wasn't groundbreaking. But it never intended to be one as well. It delivered what it promised.
And lol okay. Let's not talk about him (SLJ) then :D
Katy March 12, 2017 at 7:32 PM
Nice review Sarah! I'm not much of a Kong fan with the older movies, but my sister is really looking forward to this. It's nice to see that this one is getting a lot of good reviews. :D
Thanks Katy! I am too -- I was really expecting more criticism but it turned out really good in a really unexpected way!

"I thought I was doing the right thing." That is what Barbara Buckley of Brockton, Massachusetts said after police officers killed her husband. Her husband of 20 years, Douglas Buckley, had been drinking. Barbara went to the police station about 12:30 a.m. on July 2, 2015, hoping they could intervene and take Douglas to the hospital. Barbara said that she told police that Douglas probably would not go quietly, but that he had no weapons, only some BB guns.

Battlefield Royal: Prince Friedrich Karl of Prussia
A major military figure in the conflicts which brought about the unification of Germany was the Prussian Prince Friedrich Karl, the nephew of Kaiser Wilhelm I and grandson of Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III. He was born on March 20, 1828 in Berlin, the son of Prince Karl of Prussia and Princess Marie von Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. His father was the younger son of King Friedrich Wilhelm III and the formidable Queen Luise von Mecklenburg-Strelitz. As his father had served as a general in the Prussian army, it was not surprising that Prince Friedrich Karl was groomed from early in life for a military career. It was his good fortune that his life coincided with the appearance of some of the most brilliant military minds in the illustrious martial history of Prussia. From 1842 to 1846, for example, his tutor was Major Albrecht Graf von Roon who would later rise to the position of Minister of War and become one of the preeminent military figures responsible for the unification of Germany under Prussian leadership. Once his term as tutor was up, the count followed Prince Friedrich Karl to the University of Bonn in 1846 as his military escort. He joined the "Corps Borussia Bonn" fraternity, which would include numerous Prussian royals as members, and in 1847 was decorated for saving the life of a child from drowning in the Rhine River.
Prince Friedrich Karl finished school in 1848 and served with the rank of captain in the Schleswig-Holstein war under General Friedrich Graf von Wrangel and he distinguished himself for his skill and dauntless courage under fire. The following year he served on the General Staff, with a promotion to major, during the campaign in Baden and was badly wounded leading the Prussian hussars in a bold charge at the battle of Wiesenthal. He recovered and earned further promotion in the peacetime army, rising to colonel in 1852, major general in 1854 and lieutenant general in 1856 as he devoted himself to studying military theory and shared his ideas with a select circle of Prussian army officers through a series of lectures and essays and in 1860 this group published a book on their proposed military reforms based largely on the ideas out forward by Prince Friedrich Karl. That same year he was posted to command the Prussian III Army Corps and the Prince was able to use this position to showcase his ideas and put them into practice.
In 1864, when Prussia went to war with Denmark, Prince Friedrich Karl (promoted to General of Cavalry) and commanded the Prussian contingent of the joint Austrian-Prussian expeditionary force. There was though some friction as the Prince clashed with chief of staff General Leonhard von Blumenthal who would be credited with winning the war and become a field marshal. Prince Friedrich Karl suffered some setbacks but himself went on to win some key victories in the Jutland campaign as commander of the allied forces after the resignation of General Wrangel. Prussian King Wilhlem I rewarded him for his exceptional service during the conflict and he cemented his status as one of the leading military figures in Prussia. In 1866 the Prince was appointed to the prestigious command of the First Army which he led in the war against Austria. Taking the field against the Austrians and Saxons in Bohemia, Prince Friedrich Karl greatly distinguished himself throughout the short conflict, particularly at the decisive battle of Koniggratz in which he and his outnumbered troops held their ground against determined Austrian attacks until Crown Prince Friedrich and his forces arrived to save the day and claim the final victory, ensuring an Austrian defeat.
The next major test came with the Franco-Prussian War in which Prince Friedrich Karl was given command of the Second Army. His forces, including the Prussian Guard, made up the right wing of the German forces and advanced from the Rhine toward Saarbruecken. However, an unauthorized move by another general brought about an unexpected battle at Spicheren which found Prince Friedrich Karl cut off from his advance units. However, the Prince kept his head and despite heavier losses from the French, still won the battle. He played a key role with a bold move at the battle of Mars-La-Tour where the Prussians again suffered higher casualties than the French but still won the day. There were similar heavy losses at the battle of Gravelotte but Prince Friedrich Karl again played a crucial part in saving a faltering section of the army and gaining a Prussian victory.
The Prince participated in the pivotal siege of Metz, another Prussian victory, and while the combined German forces advanced on Paris, Prince Friedrich Karl was sent to the Loire valley to secure Orleans and prevent other French forces from coming to the aid of Paris. He carried out these duties with his usual determination, winning more battles at Orleans and Le Mans. Because of his meritorious service, King Wilhelm I, after 1871 Kaiser Wilhelm I of course, promoted the Prince to Field Marshal and awarded him the (extremely rare) Grand Iron Cross. With the war over and the German Empire created, Prince Friedrich Karl was tasked to put his military expertise to work as Inspector-General of the army, which also enabled him to spend more time with his wife (daughter of the Duke of Anhalt) and five children. Other countries also recognized his accomplishments; Tsar Alexander II gave him the rank of Field Marshal in the Imperial Russian Army and in 1878 Queen Victoria of Great Britain made him an honorary Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath. He traveled around the world for a time, however, the life of Prince Friedrich Karl was cut somewhat short when he died, at the age of 57, in Potsdam on June 15, 1885 one of the most honored military figures of the campaigns for German unification.

Barillet, Jean
Death Year: 1997
Description: Jean Barillet followed in the footsteps of his father Louis Barillet (1880-1948), who had a stained glass studio in Paris. Louis was very influential in the evolution of contemporary stained glass in France as early as 1920, and a book has been published (in France) about his endeavors. Jean probably grew up assisting in the studio with simple tasks, but when he became an adult and more of a partner in the studio, the studio was selected by the French Commission of Historical Monuments to restore World War II damaged stained glass windows in Saint Chapelle and the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, and the Cathedral of Beauvais. The influence of his father's involvement in the progression of contemporary stained glass and his association with some of the burgeoning artists in the field made Jean aware of the times in which he was growing up. As he became more involved in his father's studio, the studio began to fabricate windows for other French artists working in the new contemporary style. In the European system, the artist does not build the windows, but will carefully supervise glass selection and any additive treatments, such as painting or etching, all the way through the final output.
Window Name: Baptism of Christ

This post-Mother's Day episode of this weekly segment is nothing but bonggelz. I mustered enough courage (aka kapal ng mukha) to get her to be featured here. I am one lucky blogger and fan to finally have her in my palace.
I knew about Mommy Fleur when she's already famous, vying for the Sangobion Mommy Award; then she was mostly the reason why I attended Babypalooza Bazaar November last year. Okay, this is like a Julia Powell-Julia Child relationship. I feel like our fate's kinda intertwined. Charot. She's gayer than gay like your royal bekiness, she has a very kikay little lady like LB, and she and her husband are Nanay and Tatay to their tot like me and Rhambo. The only differences are: she has a job and I don't; she gets to shop like crazy whenever she wants; and she's like the Judy Ann Santos famous of a blogger and I'm only a starlet. Famous as she may be, she's ever humble and real. One of the many things that her readers like about her.
Unknowingly, she has taught me how to deal with bashers. She had a few ones, if you've been reading her blog. I had, too. I learned not to get too affected, because after all, they paid my blog a visit. That's a +1 hit for me. Haha!
Atop all these that are made of her, she's human like us who gets hurt, too; with emotions and decision to heal by herself.
Anywayyyyy, I asked her to do my mala-slumbook questionnaire and I didn't edit a single thing from her answers. Mga mudrabelles, I'm sure you'll agree with me on this --- there can only be one Mommy Fleur. PAK.
FAVORITE DOMESTIC DUTY: None. Seriously. Hahahaha.
Queen B says: This is fine with me, actually. Kesa naman yung iba na mega confess they can cook, clean, iron clothes, etc pero pagdalaw mo sa balur --- ay teh, bonggang shontot ng CR and dungis ng kitchen 'di ba. Daig pa ang mga iskuala lumpur, Malaysia sa resettlement areas. Tsaka afford naman ni Mommy Fleur ang yaya villania eh. So, gow.
Queen B says: Platitong may mani sa "mga pakialamera"!
Queen B says: Supet bet ko ito. Slightly ganito din ako in real life. Kasi nga carpe diem ang peg ko, ever. But sometimes, nahahawa ako kay Rhambo na 10 years ahead kung mag-isip.
Bakla, na-touch talaga ako dito!!! Grabe!!! Alika nga at magHongKong tayo together! PAK! Hahaha!
But seriously, maraming maraming salamat for this. Thank you sa mga comments, mails and support mo mudra. I really, really appreciate it.
I was there at 1st babypalooza bazaar.I love reading blogs.since i started won a prizes from FB.Im full time mom too with 2 kids.Fb ang pamtanggal stress ko.nice reading ur blogs mommy Bebengism.
I love mommy Fleur too,,, i know her in person kasi! nakakatuwa tong post na to touch at super true! btw nice blog po! nakaka tuwa din po kayo parang si Mommy fleur! din... masarap basahin ang blog!

When Austrian referee Gerd Grabher blew for full-time, it was one of those rarest of occasions in international football when fans of the winning team just wanted to play on some more.
Terry Venables' England had gone into this final group fixture level on points and goal difference with Guus Hiddink's latest incarnation of Dutch masters. Both teams needed a win to be sure of progression to the knockout stages, and either could fall foul of the Scots or Swiss playing in the other game, should either win by a sufficiently decent margin.
In the past, such circumstances had seen England players wilt under pressure. Not on this day, though. Today, the Three Lions roared and by the end of the game more than 75,000 fans in Wembley stadium were belting out the anthem 'Football's Coming Home' because, after a performance like that, we could all believe it now.
Venables had selected his usual 4-4-2 line-up. Seaman was in goal, yet to beaten other than by Türkyilmaz's late penalty in the opening game, behind the backline of Neville, Adams, Southgate and Pearce. With McManaman and Anderton on the flanks, the centre of midfield had the fire and ice Gascoigne and Ince.
Turandot it wasn't, and plenty would sleep contentedly on this night, 'loving' the way Teddy Sheringham was there to prompt and probe for Shearer, whose goal-a-game strike rate in the tournament had dispelled all memories of his earlier international drought.
Facing them, Hiddink's 4-3-3 looked both experienced and progressive, and any front line boasting the names of Bergkamp and Cruyff – although this was the son, rather than Johan – would always look dangerous. Couple that with the threat of the emerging Patrick Kluivert coming from the bench and there was plenty for Venables to be concerned about.
This game, however, wasn't about the Dutch threat; it would go down in the history of England greatest triumphs as the day when football's very own SAS proved that 'who dares wins'.
The game had started pretty evenly, but with 20 minutes on the clock, all that would change. Anderton broke down the left as support chased to join in and the Orange-shirted Dutch funnelled back to cover. Ince was cool as a cucumber in the centre of the field, and as he collected Anderton's pass, he cleverly dragged it past Danny Blind with his back foot.
Bewildered, Blind's attempted tackle was a yard away from the ball and merely served to trip Ince. "Penalty!" Screamed the crowd and millions watching on television. "Ja", conformed Grabher. Blind lowered his head. Shearer put the ball in the net. It was no less than England deserved. At the break, the lead was intact, but more would follow.
Five minutes into the second period, an England blitz of three goals in ten minutes blew the Dutch away. First, a Sheringham header from Gascoigne's corner defeated both Van der Sar and the collection of defenders apparently pointlessly trying to defend the goal line. Then the magic of Gascoigne flared into life again.
What 'could have been' for a brief moment became 'what is' as he cut in from the left, beat one, and drew another before playing off to Sheringham. The Tottenham forward always seemed to have more time than so many other players in tight areas. He used that quality here, coolly feigning to shoot, then angling his foot to set up Shearer. Boom! Back of the net: 3-0. Done and dusted.
To cap it off, an Anderton shot was deflected causing Van der Sar to palm the ball out. In came Sheringham to complete the rout. Commentating, Martin Tyler confirmed what all England fans were feeling. "It gets better and better and better." Sure, the Dutch would get a late goal, but who cared? Not England. Actually, Scotland did as it cost them a chance of progress.
So, we're off to the quarter-finals now and whoever England face, they'll be worried after this display. Three games from glory, England are on the march. Football's definitely coming home.

4 1/2 (ig)noble truths
Thomas McKechnie
Pi Provocateur Series
Pi Provocateurs presents 4 1/2 (ig)noble truths from April 25-27!
Let's pretend for a second that we're OK. What does that feel like? A lot of things are not OK with Thomas but he's got a ten-pound sledge hammer and is pretty sure that could solve at least one of his problems. This is a show that he wrote. Because we are walking around polishing silverware or running schools or arresting jaywalkers, and dying all the time and no one is saying anything. We aren't talking because we don't have words. Or we have those words but to say them could be worse.
If he howls will you howl back? If we howl together will we be healed?
Thomas McKechnie's 4 1⁄2 (ig)noble truths is a deeply personal attempt to articulate his experience living with clinical depression. Framed as a matter-of-fact lecture, when this method falls short Thomas makes use of objects, poetry, sound, and violent action to offer 4 1/2 totally useful pieces of advice for battling depression.
As part of Pi's Close Encounters Series, the bar will be open after each show and Thomas will be joined by a special guest moderator for a conversation. We hope you can join us.
Written and performed by Thomas McKechnie
Directed by Michael Reinhart
Scenography by Claire Hill
