         <description><![CDATA[<div>Sally Caverly is not just the owner and curator of Hawkfield consultants, she is also the heart and soul of the establishment. Her fondness for art developed as she grew up with her parents who are both artists. With this kind of environment, she started to appreciate the importance of preserving and enhancing <a href="http://hawkfieldgallery.com/">arts</a> and its value. Art collecting came about as a natural product of interacting with her family and from her school and work environment.<br><br>Sally has a B.A. degree in Marketing from Simmons College, a diploma from Phillips Academy in Andover and later obtains a Master’s degree in Education. She was employed as a Market Research Department Head at Houghton Mifflin Company and currently serving as a Director at the North and South Rivers Watershed Association.<br><br>Being the youngest in the family, Sally was trained in the business in her early years as she was quite often tasked to serve as auctioneer for her parents who fortunately obtained a stunning collection of American impressionist paintings and sculpture. Later on in her twenties, she bought her first in her art collection which is a pastel drawing of wild ducks by William Henry Chandler.<br><br>You will notice on her collection her interest on artworks with ducks, geese and wild birds and animals. And even her attachment with her home environment in the East Coast is quite apparent in the art collection of Sally Caverly. Her love for art and vast experience has helped Hawkfield Gallery to maintain its charming appearance which attracts many clients in visiting the establishment.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Jay Berlinsky is the founder and owner of SC Advisors. Since the late 1980s, he has been a quiet force behind many of Orlando's most prominent development projects. A fifth-generation Central Floridian with over thirty years of <a href="http://www.sc-advisors.com/">real estate</a> development experience, Jay brings a wealth of knowledge, as well as a unique understanding of the Central Florida market, its history and its people. Many of the region's key stakeholders have chosen Jay to guide them through the development of their projects.<br><br>His advisory, oversight, and owner's representation roles cover projects and transactions valued in excess of $2 billion and comprise more than three million square feet of office, retail, and public venues. These include four corporate headquarters, the highly acclaimed Amway Center, and the Citrus Bowl Stadium.<br><br>He has also successfully navigated the complex regional planning process on behalf of two new master planned communities. He and his team have secured entitlements for 3,000 acres of mixed-use community development including over 5,000 dwelling units and three million square feet of commercial, retail, office and hospitality uses. He credits his role in the early governance of Disney's Town of Celebration as important in the understanding and shaping of great communities.<br><br>Coordinating highly complex, large scale, public/private projects is another specialty of Jay and his team. Our community's elected leaders have repeatedly turned to Jay for oversight of landmark public projects. His public service appointment to the Orange County Oversight Committee for the $580 million Phase V expansion of the Orange County Convention Center gave him valuable insight into the management of large scale projects. This experience led to later opportunities to work with community leaders on the $1.6 billion Community Venues Plan, to serve as Developer’s Representative for Amway Center, and his current role as Owner’s Advisor for the City of Orlando on the re-construction of the Florida Citrus Bowl.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>When a <a href="http://www.dmv.org/vehicle-history/odometer-fraud.php">vehicle</a> is sold or a title is transferred, the law requires written documentation of the total mileage as recorded on the odometer. If the odometer mileage is known to be incorrect for any reason, the seller is required to provide a written statement of this knowledge on the title to the buyer.<br><br>Often, odometer fraud is done in conjunction with other crimes in order to make a used vehicle appear to be newer or have less wear than it actually does.<br><br>If you think you've been the victim of odometer fraud, you must contact your local law enforcement agency. For large scale investigations, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Office of Odometer Fraud Investigation can provide assistance. You may help an investigation by reporting a suspicious VIN to the NHTSA Office of Odometer Fraud Investigation at (202) 366-4761.<br><br>The NHTSA Office of Odometer Fraud Investigation may help you with general inquiries about odometers and may be able to help you to determine if other legal or law enforcement authorities need to be contacted. Contacting your state motor vehicle department can also help you as each state law, on handling odometer fraud, will vary.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Recovering from Identity Theft</title>
         <author>amarandeschmidt</author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Identity theft is a nightmare, but there are ways to restore your identity. Know what to do so that no time is wasted saving your credit rating and potential out-of-pocket <a href="http://www.dmv.org/identity-theft/identity-theft-recovery.php">costs</a> resolving identity theft. Act fast. The sooner you notify the companies you do business with, like your bank and credit card companies, the better. The longer you wait, the more you risk. In some cases you may choose, or the company may suggest, to close your account and open a new one.<br><br>The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) oversees identity theft cases, and provides an Identity Theft Affidavit for you to complete when your identity has been stolen. While a copy of your Identity Theft Affidavit and police report are crucial components, it's best to keep copies of every document you've used to report your identity has been stolen for your Identity Theft Report. This might include everything from IRS correspondence stating a return was filed using your information, to a letter you receive in the mail letting you know a credit card (you didn't apply for) has been approved.<br><br>Numerous businesses provide just as many credit-reporting services throughout America; however, because of the number of banks, creditors, and other companies they work with, three of those credit-reporting agencies probably have become the most well known and respected. Even though they're all publicly traded and for-profit companies, each one must comply with regulations set forth by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Aside from providing you with free annual credit reports , you can also use these credit bureaus to put a freeze on your credit and provide fraud alerts.<br><br>The credit bureaus can place a credit freeze, or security freeze, which restricts access to your credit report. Credit freezes are useful in stopping current identity theft because they stop access to your credit report. Without that access, ID thieves can't open fraudulent accounts in your name; most creditors simply won't open a new account without seeing your credit report.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Nearly thirty years ago, Moss Park Properties, LLLP purchased 1,200-plus acres of agricultural <a href="http://www.sc-advisors.com/projects.php">land</a> in southeast Orange County to hold for long-term growth. In 2005, when it became clear that the property was situated at the epicenter of one of Central Florida's most promising growth corridors, Medical City, MPP's General Partner retained SC Advisors to position the property for development.<br><br>SC Advisors has served as Development Manager for MPP since that time, creating the plan to secure entitlements and coordinate the infrastructure improvements for a Planned Development. This work has included a full interchange off of State Route 417 and a major local connector road network.<br><br>In March of 2013, Lennar Homes and MPP completed an acquisition and development contract for 366 acres and the future development of a new master planned community. This $50 million investment will advance the initial phases of the community with more than 2,000 residential units and supporting retail and commercial development.<br><br>SC Advisors continues to serve MPP as Broker and Development Advisor for the remaining parcels of the Planned Development.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>While it might seem like senior citizens have been around the block long enough to know how to recognize and avoid situations that put them at risk for identity theft, unfortunately they are actually becoming a highly targeted group of people.<br><br>Here are just a few reasons for reported increases in senior citizen identity theft:<br><br>• &nbsp; Sometimes, seniors especially those in retirement have larger checking and savings accounts than younger <a href="http://www.dmv.org/identity-theft/senior-identity-theft.php">people</a> who are still working to pay off car loans, mortgages, and other major financial obligations (such as college debt).<br><br>• &nbsp; Many seniors receive Medicare or Medicaid benefits, which opens the door for identity theft in the medical sector.<br><br>• &nbsp; Generally, seniors don't check their credit reports as often as do younger people, mostly because the main reasons for checking to take out home or auto loans, or to open a new credit card are no longer relevant to many seniors.<br><br>• &nbsp; Some seniors don't stay on top of the latest fraud attempts related to phishing e-mail and websites, or telephone scams, and they might not have many family members to help keep them educated and sort through any problems.<br><br>• &nbsp; Many seniors are reluctant to talk about a potential identity theft problem with their family members because they don't want to appear as though they're not capable of managing their own affairs.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Fastport Passport secures international driving permits within 24 hours for overseas travelers who want to drive a car, truck, or motorcycle legally in a foreign country. This is a companion document to your valid country's driver's <a href="http://www.dmv.org/international-driver-permits.php">license</a>. It is valid for 1 year. This is a vital document when your are on your travels.<br><br>In most cases, a driver's license issued in the U.S. won't be recognized abroad. However, if you need to drive for a short-term period, you have options. Many governments accept the international driving permit (IDP), which allows citizens of a foreign country with a valid driver's license to drive while traveling in a foreign country.<br><br>Many countries require drivers from other nations to hold an international driving permit to drive within their borders. Showing an IDP in these countries can prevent legal hassles such as fines and bail fees if you are stopped or in an accident and are unable to show proof of your eligibility to drive.<br><br>Note that while not all countries require IDPs, you might find it helpful to obtain one anyway. It serves as extremely useful identification because it is translated into 10 languages, so it can prevent communication issues during the process of ID checks. An IDP may also be necessary to rent a car in the country you're visiting.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>All the <a href="http://www.bricon.com.sg/">business</a> owners out there should pay special attention towards commercial insurance. Managing a business cannot be considered as an easy thing to do. If you want to keep peace of mind while managing your business, you can think of spending money in order to purchase a commercial insurance. Both amateur as well as seasoned businessmen should think about it. <br> <br>Commercial insurance is specifically been designed in order to insure all sorts of business risks. It not only includes the physical objects that belong to the business. In other words, the financial belongings of a business are also being covered through a commercial insurance policy. This will assist the business owners to explore new ventures without worrying too much about the risk. However, it is important for the business owners to go through the policy carefully and check whether it meets their specific requirements or not. Otherwise, they will not be able to get required assistance during an unexpected situation. <br> <br>The main thing that commercial insurance covers is property damage and asset loss through issues such as vandalism and if workers go on strike. You can also claim insurance to cover liability costs that comes when an accident happens or someone sues your company. Motor, business and accident are what commercial insurance covers. At Bricon Associates Singapore, we have the best solutions for you at the best rates.</div>]]></description>

         <title>SC Advisors Land swap and purchase</title>

         <link>https://padlet.com/amarandeschmidt/ga/wish/139839603</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>For many years, the Caruso Family had generously leased the land to the City of Orlando for use as a park, known as Constitution Green, for one dollar per year. The family retained all of its ownership rights to sell or otherwise dispose of the <a href="http://sc-advisors.com/">property</a> at any time in the future.
<br>
<br>Dramatically increasing property values in the area led the Caruso family to consider an offer of over $7 million in late 2014 from a developer proposing multi-family housing on the site. As the possible sale became public knowledge during the zoning process, an outcry arose from the surrounding community to preserve the land as a park. Both the City of Orlando and the Caruso family were seeking a way to preserve the park while allowing the family to realize the proceeds from a sale to which they were entitled.
<br>
<br>The Caruso family engaged SC Advisors to seek a solution and to represent them in any resulting negotiations regarding the parcel. The solution was a property exchange between the Caruso family and the City. The City took possession of the Constitution Green Park and the Caruso family received marketable property and monetary compensation from the City. SC Advisors helped orchestrate this win/win solution which was finalized in September of 2015 and closed in January 2016.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Thurrock Council take on challenge of credit fraud rocketing in borough</title>
         <author>amarandeschmidt</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/amarandeschmidt/ga/wish/140410469</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>THURROCK Council staff were out speaking to residents last week as part of the ‘National Fraud Prevention Week’ across three areas; Thurrock, Castle Point and Southend. Cllr Shane Hebb, the Cabinet member whose portfolio includes tackling fraud, claims the increase ‘is a testament to the team delivering good results’ and ‘residents becoming more astute and reporting illegal practices’.
<br>
<br>“The <a href="http://amarandeschmidt.booklikes.com/post/1500924/thurrock-council-take-on-challenge-of-credit-fraud-rocketing-in-borough">fraud team</a>, by definition, has to work covertly in much of what it does. Awareness weeks such as this give us some space to acknowledge the good work the team does, but also to encourage more people to come forward when they spot something that isn’t right. “There are several types of fraud and economic crime that can affect council services. The council is committed to taking action against anybody who tries to defraud the public purse.”
<br>
<br>Some examples of the fraud the council investigates includes: housing benefit, housing tenancy, council tax, business rates, blue badge for disabled parking, social care, insurance, money laundering and council employee and contractor fraud, bribery or corruption. Cllr Hebb added: “It is disappointing we have to employ a team of people – an excellent team of people to combat those who are trying to steal from the public purse. That said, the team is doing something right as we’ve been approached by other agencies and councils to carry out investigations on their behalf.
<br>
<br>“With a successful prosecution, the investigating agency is awarded a financial incentive through the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA), which means the service is actually financially self-sustainable. “But, we do need the help of residents – if you think you know of suspect practices, you can report it anonymously for the team to look into. If you suspect it, report it.”</div>]]></description>

         <title>SC Advisors Wycliffe Bible Translators Project</title>
         <author>amarandeschmidt</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/amarandeschmidt/ga/wish/141659375</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>Wycliffe, like Campus Crusade, had been based in California and was contemplating a move of its US operations to a less costly location. Jay and his team arranged for Wycliffe to <a href="http://sc-advisors.com/">acquire</a> the necessary acreage from land and options held by Campus Crusade and began the development of Wycliffe’s $35 million, 140,000 square foot headquarters campus.
<br>
<br>Wycliffe’s location and building site presented some significant challenges. Over 1,000,000 cubic feet of on-site earth work was required. Jay’s team was also responsible for a tri party agreement to rebuild three plus miles of Moss Park Road into a four lane roadway, a $6 million project that had to be completed before Wycliffe’s headquarters could open.
<br>
<br>These challenges were successfully met, along with the program management, due diligence and construction management and closeout required to complete the project. The result was a beautiful and functional headquarters campus that includes the Dayspring Discovery Center, an interactive learning center where Wycliffe’s vision is shared with thousands of visitors every year.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Mercury Capital Advisors: Hedge Funds Gain Ground</title>
         <author>amarandeschmidt</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/amarandeschmidt/ga/wish/141933246</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>Though <a href="https://mercurycapitaladvisors.com/press/">fund</a> managers face a demanding client base in insurers, which require much more transparency and detailed reporting than other institutional investors, the insurance marketplace still is new enough to hedge funds that managers may see few competing peers, says the report from Patpatia &amp; Associates. That could mean opportunities for forwardthinking hedge fund managers. “It’s still a comparatively underserved market,” says Bill Limburg, senior associate at Patpatia. “We believe there is room for firms that take a more solutionsbased approach to gain assets and share.”
<br>
<br>The report outlines how insurers pulled back from hedge funds in the wake of the 2008 financial meltdown, but then “steadily rebounded.” Insurance company assets invested in hedge funds totaled $11.1 billion in 2009, but nearly doubled to hit $21.1 billion by 2013, the most recent year data was available. Insurance companies have traditionally invested almost all of their general account assets in fixed income securities, though many have been slowly adding equities in recent years and, even more recently, alternatives. Especially in the low yield postcrisis environment, some insurance companies see hedge funds as a way to get a little extra alpha, though most observers say it’s mainly about gaining diversification.
<br>
<br>Insurers are also raising their exposure to other alternatives, notably private equity, but not by as much: allocations to hedge funds “have grown at an 11.4% CAGR from 2008, surpassing private equity allocation growth in the same time period” of 8.9%, the report says. Multistrategy “remains the most popular choice” for insurers, with 32% of investors holding such funds, according to Patpatia’s report, though this figure is down from 43% in 2008. Secondmost popular is longshort equity, although this too may not be as dominant: “Some [investors] expressed that it will not be their preferred focus moving forward,” the report says.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Online Info Blog: Visa will buy CardinalCommerce</title>
         <author>amarandeschmidt</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/amarandeschmidt/ga/wish/142207357</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>Cardinal’s payments platform analyzes 400 points of data in each online transaction to reduce fraud. “The acquisition will enable more secure, seamless payments, whether made through a browser, mobile app or connected device, and will help Visa’s clients and merchant partners accelerate digital commerce,” Visa said in a statement. Visa already provides Cardinal’s services to merchants and acquirers through its CyberSource merchant and acquirer unit. Visa says its global business will help Cardinal expand its international client roster.
<br>
<br>“By helping merchants, acquirers and issuers better distinguish between good and bad <a href="https://www.change.org/p/online-info-blog-visa-will-buy-cardinalcommerce">transactions</a>, Visa is in an even better position to strengthen consumer trust in digital payments, help merchants grow their businesses and accelerate innovation in commerce,” says Mark Nelsen, senior vice president of risk and authentication products at Visa. CardinalCommerce aims to improve communication about consumers between online retailers and banks, thus making it easier to authorize online purchases.
<br>
<br>CEO Mike Keresman said in July that Cardinal holds 63 patents, all proprietary inventions that the company developed. Among retailer clients, he says, there often is a divide between what they know about a consumer and what a financial institution knows. Retailers typically have one set of data about a customer, while banks have their own data. Cardinal’s payments services marry those data sets so that online retailers and banks can have more confidence that online transactions are legitimate.
<br>
<br>Cardinal’s payments platform analyzes 400 points of data at each transaction to reduce fraud. Keresman says the company monitors 750,000 merchant identification numbers, which are what banks and other financial institutions use to identify businesses; plus bank identification numbers, which are the first six numbers of a credit card used to identify the issuing financial institution. Together these ID numbers help to verify a customer’s identity when they make an online purchase.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Today, living also involves dealing with pollution; especially to those people living in major cities, and because of the frequent use of cars and other modes of transportation in those places, having a smoky environment is quite normal. If there were good effects the modern society gave to us, it also had bad effects. With constant use of combustion engines, its damaging outcomes still linger in our environment. Millions of people are prone to its harmful consequences and chances of being suffocated are high due to the fumes expelled into the environment by large numbers of vehicles each day. Tyre&amp;Auto Southbourne Group listed below some of the benefits of having a good exhaust control:<br><br>Noise level becomes minimal<br><br>A proper <a href="https://amarandeschmit.wordpress.com/2016/12/15/tyreauto-southbourne-group-benefits-of-a-good-exhaust-control/">design</a> and installation of an exhaust pipe system can reduce noise pollution, and with the help of a professional car servicing company, this could be achieved with lesser trouble.

         <title>Erie Insurance Can Cover Hail Damage</title>
         <author>amarandeschmidt</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/amarandeschmidt/ga/wish/144413961</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>“Most homeowner’s <a href="http://amarandeschmidt.over-blog.com/2016/12/erie-insurance-can-cover-hail-damage.html">policies</a> provide coverage for damage by hail,” says Terry McConnell, vice president, Personal Lines Underwriting, at Erie Insurance. “Just note there may be restrictions as far as a separate hail deductible that may apply.”<br><br>McConnell says the average financial cost of hail damage to a home can be around $10,000. That varies depending on the length of the storm, the size of the hail, the amount of damage done to the roof and the siding, and the condition of those structures before the storm began. A directional storm, hitting only one side of a home or roof, will affect that number as well.<br><br>McConnell advises homeowners take a proactive approach toward protecting their homes from hail damage. “Don’t use your insurance policy as a maintenance policy,” he cautions, “as this could expose you to surcharges that come with filing claim.”<br><br>Instead, McConnell says you should inspect your roof yourself before a storm hits. Roofs with higher-quality shingles ward off hail damage better than roofs with low-cost shingles. Likewise, newer roofs hold up better to hail damage than deteriorated roofs. If your home is in a hailstorm and you suspect it suffered hail damage, McConnell says you should contact your insurance agent to inform them of the situation.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Extending the lifespan of your car and maintaining its worthwhile value involves regular maintenance.

Your car definitely needs their innovative tools and distinct techniques, along with their years of expertise in handling cars. Individuals, especially car owners, should also value their cars and take care of them properly. Tyre&amp;Auto Southbourne Group enumerated below some car parts that need regular check-ups:<br><br>Catalytic converters<br><br>A catalytic converter was released in 1993 and was then included in all petrol exhaust systems. It is specifically designed to reduce the harmful effects of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen being released into the atmosphere each day. The dangerous effects of those toxic gases could be reduced by catalytic converters by converting them into water vapour and far less harmful gases. Catalytic converters can last for a fair period of time but still needs regular check-ups according to Tyre&amp;Auto Southbourne Group. You may contact your respected car service provider to help you in this matter to avoid being cheated.<br><br>Brakes<br><br>Seeking the skills of brake experts?

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Katsuya Watanabe, Partner and Tax Accountant, Tax Gym Watanabe Katsuya Accounting Office. Manages own accounting office, works as tax accountant who does more <a href="http://amarandeschmidt.booklikes.com/post/1507634/kaori-fuchi-advisors-client-testimonials">tax review</a> than a tax inspector. Ms. Fuchi has helped me with cases such as a soccer player’s international tax consulting, corporation’s international tax consulting, and incorporation of a company in foreign country. She exchanges information with accounting firms in Asian locations such as Hong Kong, and I admire how up to date she is in various matters. She had a career in a major tax firm and her work is very thorough - I imagine all the clients are satisfied with her work.<br><br>Yoko Mashima, Representative Notary Public, Mashima Notary Public Office. Manages notary public office specialized on handling foreigners’ affairs. Ms. Fuchi is very dynamic, participating in variety of activities and is expanding her scope to overseas. She is also full of ideas, and extremely fast in turning those ideas into reality. So working with her is very stimulating. Most of my clients are from overseas, and even in the present environment where a tax accountant who can properly explain to client in English is scarce, I can introduce Ms. Fuchi to my client with sense of confidence.<br><br>Ayano Morimoto, Representative Judicial Scrivener, M.D. Law Office. Provides legal service across boarders. People might have image of a tax accountant as a difficult person, but Ms. Fuchi is always cheerful; I have never seen her in a bad mood. It is not hard to imagine that clients find it easy to ask for help from her. As our office cater to foreign companies and foreigners living in Japan, it is great to have Ms. Fuchi who can cheerfully answer questions on international taxation system and questions asked in English, so we rely on her a lot.<br><br><br><br>Miyuki Tsuboi, Certified Social Insurance and Labor Consultant, Representative Director, HR Advisory Services. Among the many companies that claims to be “supporting global business”, I felt Ms. Fuchi’s tax and consulting was the one with the most guts and that I could cooperate with her in business immediately. Soon after our encounter, I had a case where Ms. Fuchi assisted as an emergency help. The first meeting with a Spanish company that has launched its renewable energy business in Japan recently and knew nothing about Japan took over four hours, but Ms. Fuchi was flexible in her handling of the meeting, and explained about the Japanese taxation system very patiently.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Cyberattackers pose many threats to a wide range of targets. Russia, for example, was accused of hacking Democratic Party computers throughout the year, interfering with the U.S. presidential election. Then there was the unknown attacker who, on a single October day, used thousands of internet-connected <a href="https://www.change.org/p/online-info-blog-cyber-deterrence">devices</a>, such as digital video recorders and cameras compromised by Mirai malware, to take down several high-profile websites, including Twitter.<br><br>Deterrence focuses on making potential adversaries think twice about attacking, forcing them to consider the costs of doing so, as well as the consequences that might come from a counterattack. There are two main principles of deterrence. The first, denial, involves convincing would-be attackers that they won’t succeed, at least without enormous effort and cost beyond what they are willing to invest. The second is punishment: Making sure the adversaries know there will be a strong response that might inflict more harm than they are willing to bear.<br><br>Cybersecurity aids deterrence primarily through the principle of denial. It stops attacks before they can achieve their goals. This includes beefing up login security, encrypting data and communications, fighting viruses and other malware, and keeping software updated to patch weaknesses when they’re found.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Tyre&amp;Auto Southbourne Group: Why Car Exhausts Matter</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>At no time in the history of human civilization have we suffered more respiratory diseases than when we began using the combustion engine at the start of the Industrial Revolution. Today, the levels of pollution in major cities around the world have reached extreme levels. Think of such cities like LA, Mexico, Bangkok and Beijing and you can imagine the thousands of people who suffocate under the <a href="https://www.change.org/p/tyre-auto-southbourne-group-why-car-exhausts-matter">fumes</a> expelled by millions of vehicles into the atmosphere.<br><br>With the introduction of alternative energy sources to operate vehicles, however, we are beginning to cope with this growing menace to human health. In the meantime, new techniques have been developed to minimize the effects of exhaust fumes from combustion engines.<br><br>A defective exhaust pipe decreases the ability of the engine to maximize its burning capability, hence, diminishing its power and performance. In fact, a big percentage of an engine’s power is lost due to the inefficient disposal of the waste gases resulting from the combustion process. Think of a person’s sinusitis which prevents one from breathing out the carbon dioxide from the lungs. What we expel is as important as what we take in. So it is with a car.<br><br>In short, not only do we pollute the atmosphere with a faulty exhaust pipe system, we are practically burning money that virtually escapes from our pockets and enters ours lungs in the form of toxic gases and black soot. Controlling the quantity and the quality of exhaust fumes is every person’s responsibility to maintain a healthy environment.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The 25th of May 2015 marked our new beginning; on that day, Japan Asia Group was listed in the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. We are the 1,890th company to be admitted to this esteemed group. I hereby express my gratitude to all who supported us and our endeavors to create green communities.<br><br>The UN Member States adopted the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the SDGs (Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development ), and the Paris Agreement on climate change in 2015. The actions that must be taken by countries in the developed world, to address climate change, protect the environment and Earth, and to develop sustainably, have been outlined, and green energy affirmed; we will start debating on our collective practical steps in 2016. My expectation is that our society itself will be required to change, unrecognizably, in the process of transforming our world, not only nations, local governments, businesses and all kinds of organizations, but even down to the individual. Businesses will be required to innovate in the direction of low carbon or de-carbonized products and services while maintaining their corporate growth. <br><br>Our society is rapidly ageing with falling birthrates; at the same time, expectations towards corporate citizens to address environmental issues including climate change has never been so high. We are at a turning point as a society right now. As a company that aims to solve societal issues through technology and <a href="http://www.japanasiagroup.jp/english/">finance</a>, Japan Asia Group has been presented with an opportunity to make great strides towards our own sustainable growth.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Above all else, hackers are all about the money. New research from cybersecurity and application delivery solutions provider Radware revealed that the top motivation behind cyberattacks is ransom, followed by insider threats, political hacktivism and competition. The biggest challenge in combating cyber ransom, Radware’s Global Application &amp; Network Security Report 2016-2017 report noted, is that ransom is not only easy, but also every attack has its own vector, technique or angle. With hundreds of encrypting malware types available to <a href="https://tackk.com/onlineinfoblog-fraud-on-the-rise">cybercriminals</a> today, the individuals perpetrating these malicious attacks are able to leverage various networks and applications to demonstrate their power and capabilities.<br><br>“One thing is clear: Money is the top motivator in the threat landscape today,” Carl Herberger, VP of security solutions at Radware, explained. “Attackers employ an ever-increasing number of tactics to steal valuable information, from ransom attacks that can lock up a company’s data, to DDoS attacks that act as a smoke screen for information theft, to direct brute force or injection attacks that grant direct access to internal data.<br><br>“Our report shows that most organizations are still not prepared to fend off many of the more sophisticated attacks. There is a vast market for mitigating attacks in progress and for defending against threats, both new and established, that grow in severity by the day. From our Emergency Response Team to our extensive products and services, Radware stands ready to guard organizations’ data, systems, and customers from harm,” Herberger continued. Last year saw a significant surge in the number of extortion threats, with the majority (56 percent) of the 600 organizations surveyed by Radware admitting that they have fallen victim to a cyber ransom attack and 41 percent identifying ransomware as the biggest cyber threat.</div>]]></description>

The Better Business Bureau offers some suggestions for consumers concerned that their PII has been stolen:<br><br>-- Do not take a “wait and see” approach as you may have done with breaches involving credit card data. You must act quickly. Breaches involving Social Security numbers have the potential to be far more detrimental to victims, and the damage can be difficult to repair.<br><br>-- Consider taking a preemptive strike by freezing your credit reports. This will not impact existing credit cards and financial accounts, but will create a roadblock for thieves seeking to create fraudulent accounts using your personal information.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hendley Market offers antiques, such as books and medical equipment, but the real draw is the store's large selection of nativities and santons. Shoppers will find over 200 nativities from far away <a href="http://fliphtml5.com/kyec/zlpy/basic/">places</a> like Bethlehem and Germany. The santons, or small collectible figurines often associated with religious themes, come mostly from Mexico. Located in the 1891 Van Alstyne House, The Gingerbread House features 14 different rooms adorned with eye-catching antiques. Items include china, crystal, furniture, and jewelry, as well as Victorian dolls and hats. Historic cities always seem to have a local artist who dedicates time and energy to capturing the spirit of the city's past. Pam Heidt specializes in Galveston's rich Victorian history, and J. Bangle Gallery specializes in her artwork. Heidt's oils and watercolors are not all that shoppers find, however. The gallery also offers frames and a respectable collection of coins and other antiques.<br><br>Wherever you travel, it's always interesting to see what regional artists are producing. Buchanan Gallery is your best bet for a wide range of contemporary art, including paintings, sculptures, and a variety of other media. A traditional beach-town souvenir shop, Lafitte's Beat presents over 2,500 square feet of gift items, beachwear, and nautical-inspired merchandise. In the early 1800s, the store remains rooted in its coastal surroundings. Shells and local coral are popular souvenirs, but shoppers can also find ship's wheels and lamps. Of course, as in most stores of its kind, you can also buy shot glasses, children's toys, and salt and pepper shakers. During the 1800s and early 1900s, The Strand Historic District was the most affluent area of town and still features many of the city's upscale establishments. Visitors can choose from one of over 100 shops and restaurants to pass their time, or take a horse-drawn carriage ride to enjoy the romantic charm of the neighborhood.</div>]]></description>
