HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER

DOCTOR DOCTORIAN FROM ANGEL OF GOD
then the angel said, Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.

JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

REVELATION 18:10,17,19
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed:(CONFISCATED) their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

LUKE 2:1-3
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2  (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3  And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

Greece looking for fresh money as deadlines loom By Eric Maurice-MAR 4,15-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 09:27-Greece is facing two deadlines on Friday (6 March) and Monday that will test its financial capacities and political abilities.On Friday, the Greek government is due to repay €298 million to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) from a loan from the first bailout in 2010. In total, it will have to disburse €6 billion in March for debt repayments.Yanis Varoufakis says Greece's debt repayment should be linked to growth (Photo: Council of European Union)-And on Monday, Finance minister Yanis Varoufakis is expected to present reform proposals at a meeting of euro finance ministers (Eurogroup) in order to convince his partners to unblock a part of the four-month loan extension approved on 24 February.Eurogroup president Jeroen Dijsselbloem said in a recent Financial Times interview that "maybe there can be a first disbursement" from the €7.2 billion extension if Greece "starts the programme before the whole renegotiation is finished".According to the Kathimerini newspaper, Greece will on Monday present six measures addressing the humanitarian crisis in the country and administrative reform, as well as measures to settle overdue debts to the state and improve tax collection.It should also announce the creation of a fiscal council and of a new body for targeted tax inspections.The measures should be presented first at a technical level on Wednesday or Thursday. Greece will then have a first indication of its partners' intentions.Varoufakis has promised his country will meet its March commitments."March is solved. We are in the process of securing funds to cover the entire four-month period," he said on Greek television on Tuesday.But with tax revenues falling since the start of the year and weak economic activity, Greece is estimated to have only €4 billion in its coffers and some experts are worried that it could run out of money in the coming weeks.The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported that the Greek government has started to borrow money from the country’s pension funds for a period of up to 15 days in order to have available cash.Varoufakis, for his part, repeated that Athens' priority remains restructuring the country's debt and setting sustainable growth goals."Debt repayment should be linked to the growth rate. This is a red line for us", he said.As a concession before Eurogroup talks, the Greek government removed a debt-cutting provision from its planned legislation.Yet tough negotiations are still likely. EU commission president Jean-Claude Juncker indicated as much in an interview with Spanish daily El Pais.He said Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras "has to explain [to the Greek people] that some promises with which he won the election will not be fulfilled"."Greece is a never-ending story, with two programmes that will become three", adding fuel to rumors of a third bailout at the end of the current loan extension.

Oil glut: US running out of room to store crude; prices for oil and gasoline could plunge-The Canadian PressBy Jonathan Fahey, The Associated Press | MAR 3,15-YAHOONEWS

NEW YORK, N.Y. - The U.S. has so much crude that it is running out of places to put it, and that could drive oil and gasoline prices even lower in the coming months.For the past seven weeks, the United States has been producing and importing an average of 1 million more barrels of oil every day than it is consuming. That extra crude is flowing into storage tanks, especially at the country's main trading hub in Cushing, Oklahoma, pushing U.S. supplies to their highest point in at least 80 years, the Energy Department reported last week.If this keeps up, storage tanks could approach their operational limits, known in the industry as "tank tops," by mid-April and send the price of crude — and probably gasoline, too — plummeting."The fact of the matter is we are running out of storage capacity in the U.S.," Ed Morse, head of commodities research at Citibank, said at a recent symposium at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.Morse has suggested oil could fall all the way to $20 a barrel from the current $50. At that rock-bottom price, oil companies, faced with mounting losses, would stop pumping oil until the glut eased. Gasoline prices would fall along with crude, though lower refinery production, because of seasonal factors and unexpected outages, could prevent a sharp decline.The national average price of gasoline is $2.44 a gallon. That's $1.02 cheaper than last year at this time, but up 37 cents over the past month.Other analysts agree that crude is poised to fall sharply — if not all the way to $20 — because it continues to flood into storage for a number of reasons:— U.S. oil production continues to rise. Companies are cutting back on new drilling, but that won't reduce supplies until later this year.— The new oil being produced is light, sweet crude, which is a type many U.S. refineries are not designed to process. Oil companies can't just get rid of it by sending it abroad, because crude exports are restricted by federal law.— Foreign oil continues to flow into the U.S., both because of economic weakness in other countries and to feed refineries designed to process heavy, sour crude.— This is the slowest time of year for gasoline demand, so refiners typically reduce or stop production to perform maintenance. As refiners process less crude, supplies build up.— Oil investors are making money buying and storing oil because of the difference between the current price of oil and the price for delivery in far-off months. An investor can buy oil at $50 today and enter into a contract to sell it for $59 in December, locking in a profit even after paying for storage during those months.The delivery point for most of the oil traded in the U.S. is Cushing, a city of about 8,000 people halfway between Oklahoma City and Tulsa at an intersection of several pipelines. The city is dotted with tanks that can, in theory, hold 85 million barrels of oil, according to the Energy Department, though some of those tanks are used for blending or feeding pipelines, not for storing oil.The market data provider Genscape, which flies helicopters equipped with infrared cameras and other technology over Cushing twice a week to measure storage levels, estimates Cushing is two-thirds full.Hillary Stevenson, who manages storage, pipeline and refinery monitoring for Genscape, says Cushing could be full by mid-April. Supplies are increasing at "the highest rate we have ever seen at Cushing," she says.Full tanks — or super-low prices — are not a sure thing. New storage is under construction at Cushing, and there are large storage terminals near Houston, in St. James, Louisiana, and elsewhere around the country that will probably begin to take in more oil as prices fall far enough to cover the cost of transporting the oil.Also, drillers are cutting back fast because oil prices have plummeted from $107 a barrel in June. And demand is showing signs of rising.While the Energy Department reported another enormous rise in crude stocks last week, up 8.4 million barrels from the week earlier, it also reported that diesel and gasoline supplies fell more than expected. That leads some to conclude that demand for crude will soon pick up, easing the surplus somewhat.But many analysts believe oil prices will fall through the spring, before summer drivers start to relieve the glut.___Jonathan Fahey can be reached at https://twitter.com/JonathanFahey .

West African leaders call for international support in post-Ebola recovery-By Benjamin Fox-MAR 4,15-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 11:00-The leaders of the three West African countries worst hit by the Ebola epidemic called on the international community for a regional ‘Marshall Plan’ at an EU-hosted conference on Tuesday (3 March).The “Ebola: from emergency to recovery” conference took place in Brussels on Tuesday, co-chaired by the European Union, together with the Presidents of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, the United Nations and the African Union.The number of new Ebola cases in West Africa has dropped dramatically, but regional leaders want international support to help recover from the epidemic.The epidemic, which began in spring 2014, has killed almost 10,000 people out of more than 23,000 confirmed cases in the three countries. The World Health Organisation estimates that the true infection rate and death toll is significantly higher than has been reported.However, the disease, which has a very high mortality rate and is highly contagious - passed through through human-to-human contact - appears to be coming under control, with fewer than 100 cases being reported each week for the last month. It has no known vaccine or cure.“Victory against the virus is in sight, but we must guard against complacency,” said President Ernest Bai Koroma of Sierra Leone. “There won't be complete victory until we get to a resilient zero in each of the three affected countries.”For its part, the UN said it would continue to support “the drive to zero” cases.The epidemic, which effectively forced the affected countries in West Africa to quarantine themselves and restrict travel in and out of their countries, also delivered a severe setback to their economies in the process.“A regional approach would achieve the best recovery results,” Liberian president Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf told the 600 delegates, including ministers and health experts from across the world, adding that “there is no doubt that this will require significant resources, perhaps even a Marshall Plan.”“We believe however that this can be achieved through allocation of the additional resources committed by the European Commission", she said.The three recovering countries are drawing up a blueprint for a regional ‘Marshall plan’ to help their economies recover, which will be presented to the spring meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund in April.Speaking at the conference, EU development commissioner Neven Mimica said that 50 percent of the bloc’s development assistance was being used to provide budget support to the governments of three countries to help them deliver “urgently needed public services and cushion the economic impact of the epidemic.”"The European Commission, together with the bloc’s 28 governments, have so far pledged around €1.2 billion to Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Nigeria, the countries worst affected by the disease, as part of total pledges from the international community of $5 billion (€4.6 billion)."But the international community has been criticised by medical NGOs and the UN for failing to do enough and acting too slowly, while African leaders at the conference stated that only $2.4 billion (€2.2 billion) of the pledged money has actually been made available to the affected countries. The conference did not see any further donation pledges.When it came to Ebola, “the world was ill-prepared. It shows,” said Margaret Chan, director-general of the World Health Organisation. “We must reduce this vulnerability as a matter of urgency.”

Blackouts hit thousands across GTA-CBC – MAR 4,15-YAHOONEWS

Thousands across the GTA lost electrical power on Tuesday night and, by early Wednesday, it was unclear for many when the lights would come back on.Toronto Hydro said 25,000 of its customers were still without power by late Tuesday night — hours after the lights first started to flicker.Outages hit thousands more north of the city, according to PowerStream, while "momentary" blackouts were reported in Mississauga by Enersource.The utility companies blamed the blackouts on a combination of the bad weather that hit the region on Tuesday, and salt spray, which can interfere with electrical lines.There were more than 50 transformer and pole fires across the GTA, according to Toronto Fire Services."The weather wreaked havoc on our system the evening," said Toronto Hydro spokesman Brian Buchan. "It's been a real combination of the salt, snow and freezing rain.""All our crews are out there — they're working hard and we're calling other crews in," said Buchan."But it's like Whack-a-Mole. We get one [problem] taken care of and another one goes down."The weather improved late Tuesday night, which Buchan said will make it easier to restore power, though he did not provide an estimate when the lights will go back on for any of the affected neighbourhoods.Toronto Hydro says most of the blackouts are in Scarborough and Etobicoke. Its online outage map also shows blackouts in East York and across North York, though Toronto Hydro has said the map might not be accurate because of the high number of incidents.PowerStream's online outage map shows a number of mostly small blackouts scattered across its territory, including Woodbridge, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham and Aurora.Sharing on social-As is often the case during blackouts, Torontonians took to social media and the #darkTO hashtag to share quips, complaints and updates about their neighbourhoods.

6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

Floods leave 38 dead in Tanzania-AFP-MAR 4,15-YAHOONEWS

Dar es Salaam (AFP) - At least 38 people have died with 82 others been injured in heavy rains and floods in Tanzania's northwest, officials said Wednesday.Torrential rains, hail and high winds hit Kahama district in Shinyanga region late on Tuesday, a statement from the office of President Jakaya Kikwete said, expressing his "shock and extreme grief".Officials said an estimated 3,500 people in the region, a poor farming area south of Lake Victoria and near the Serengeti game reserve, had been affected by the flooding.

Toronto deals with latest messy commute in relentless winter-CBC – Tue, 3 Mar, 2015-YAHOONEWS

It's happening again — Old Man Winter is making it ugly for people on the drive home.In Toronto, the snow has started falling and is set to continue well into the evening, according to Environment Canada.The city said it deployed salt trucks in the afternoon, as the snow began arriving.Snowplows will be making their rounds this evening, and officials are reminding drivers it is best not to get in their way.A special weather statement from Environment Canada remains in effect. It says Toronto is in a part of the province that could see five to 10 centimetres of snow. The city could also see some ice pellets and freezing rain.The weather has prompted the usual warnings from the city and from the police — to slow down and drive carefully.Similar reminders were given to drivers heading west of the city to Peel Region and north into York Region.Those flying out of Pearson International Airport are advised to check the status of their flight before leaving home, as winter weather in Toronto and at some U.S. airports is causing delays and cancellations.'What are you going to do?'Some people in Toronto are simply gritting their teeth at this point, as they deal with the weather hitting the city and wait for things to improve."I cannot wait until the warmer comes and it's springtime," said Daniela Parisi, when speaking to a CBC News reporter on Tuesday.Others are more pragmatic about the still-present snow and slush on city streets."I love spring, so I’m really looking forward to that coming around, but, you know, what are you going to do?" said Kim Trusty, when she stopped to speak to CBC News.Environment Canada has said the February that Toronto experienced was the first in 75 years in which the temperature did not get above the freezing mark.

Zimbabwe's tobacco production hit by heavy rains-Reuters-MAR 4,15-YAHOONEWS

HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's tobacco crop will fall to 190 million kilograms this year, down from 216 million kilograms in 2014, an official said on Wednesday, as late planting and heavy rains hit production of the country's biggest exporter earner.Andrew Matibiri, general manager of Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board said unusually heavy rainfall in December had hampered production.Zimbabwe's tobacco exports totaled $842 million last year, the bulk going to China, according to central bank data, more than the southern African country earned from platinum, gold or diamonds.Tobacco output has rebounded in the last five years after plunging to an all time low of 48 million kilograms in 2008 at the height of an economic crisis.At the largest auction floor in the capital Harare, farmers on Wednesday walked out in protest against low prices ranging between $0.25 and $3.90 per kg, below last year's average of $5.70 a kg.Zimbabwe is among the top 10 tobacco producers in the world, according to the World Bank, and its crop is used as a flavoring by some leading cigarette manufacturers.(Reporting by MacDonald Dzirutwe; Editing by Joe Brock)

Philippine cities most at risk from disasters, study shows-Reuters-By Joseph D'Urso-MAR 4,15-YAHOONEWS

LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Of the 10 world cities most exposed to natural hazards, eight are in the Philippines, according to research which also showed that over half of the 100 cities most exposed to earthquakes, storms and other disasters were found in four Asian nations.The study published on Wednesday by risk analysis firm Verisk Maplecroft analyzed the threat posed by storms, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, volcanoes and landslides in more than 1,300 cities.It said of the 100 cities with the greatest exposure to natural hazards, 21 were located in the Philippines, 16 in China, 11 in Japan and eight in Bangladesh.Of the 13 countries deemed least able to cope with natural disasters, 11 were in sub-Saharan Africa, with Somalia coming bottom for the fourth consecutive year, the study showed.Besides the risk of volcanic eruptions, quakes and floods, the Philippines is hit by more than 20 typhoons every year.The biggest typhoon in recent years was Haiyan which struck the Southeast Asian country in 2013, leaving more than 7,000 people dead or missing. More than 1 million houses were totally or partially damaged in the aftermath."Natural hazard risk is compounded in the Philippines by poor institutional and societal capacity to manage, respond and recover from natural hazard events," the report said.It added that disaster risk reduction strategies in the Philippines were improving after the "widely criticized" response to Haiyan.Better communication and the evacuation of 1.7 million people meant that Typhoon Hagupit, a category 3 storm, killed only 27 people in December 2014.The report rated the Philippines' capital Manila with a population of almost 12 million as the fourth most exposed city in the world. Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu in the South Pacific, was considered most vulnerable to natural hazards, followed by Taguegarao and Lucena in the Philippines.Port Vila and Taipei City, in Taiwan, were the only cities outside the Philippines to feature in the top 10.(Editing by Katie Nguyen)

Wildfires rage through top South African tourist haven-AFP-MAR 4,15-YAHOONEWS

Cape Town (AFP) - Wildfires raged for a fourth day Wednesday through one of South Africa's most popular international tourist destinations, destroying homes, a hotel and scorching thousands of hectares of spectacular scenery.Firefighting teams and water-bombing aircraft were again in action as the flames swept down Cape Town's southern peninsula, a mountainous spine of land running from the city to Cape Point, Africa's most southwestern tip.Hundreds of residents of upmarket villages dotted along both the Atlantic and False Bay coasts grabbed pets and valuables as they were evacuated overnight ahead of flames fanned by strong winds and record high temperatures.A total of 13 homes have been destroyed or damaged by the fires, along with the five-star Tintswalo Atlantic Lodge perched on the edge of the ocean near the fishing port and commuter village of Hout Bay.A German tourist staying in a rented house in the same area told eNCA television that he had a lucky escape in the early hours of Wednesday."I never experienced anything like this," said the man, who gave his name only as Karl."When I saw (the flames) coming... I put my wife out of bed and we took what we could grab and went to the beach parking," before being escorted to a rescue centre."We are very happy to be here because we are very well-kept and looked after," he said.Appeals for food and cash to help victims, evacuees and volunteer firefighters have had an overwhelming response, officials said."The fires are now threatening properties at Clovelly," near Fish Hoek on the False Bay side of the peninsula, Onele Ndesi, spokesman for Cape Town Disaster Risk Management, told AFP.No fatalities or serious injuries have been reported, but dozens of people have been treated for smoke inhalation.
A sudden wind change overnight brought flames bearing down on Kalk Bay, a fishing village known for its seafood restaurants and antique shops.

- Strong winds fan flames -

Schools were closed and traffic snarled as residents awoke to a rain of ash and smoke drifting across an armageddon-like red ball of sun."The area affected by the change in wind direction is from Kalk Bay, all around the mountain towards the Hout Bay area and then on the opposite side towards Tokai," said Theo Layne of Cape Town Fire and Rescue.Firefighters were hoping that a change in the weather would bring some relief after temperatures soared to 100-year highs of more than 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) on Tuesday."Today we’re going to be having a little bit of a cooler day with expected rain, which is going to assist with damping or cooling down of the entire burnt areas," Layne said.The fire has ravaged some 4,000 hectares of flowering, shrublike vegetation known as fynbos, part of the unique Cape floral kingdom.The fynbos-covered mountains and spectacular coastline are the backdrop to the annual Cape Town Cycle Tour, a 109 kilometre race around the peninsula, which is due to be held on Sunday.The race is described as the "largest timed cycling event in the world", and has drawn 35,000 entrants from South Africa and around the world this year.Organisers were expected to announce this week whether the fires will force a change in the route.Western Cape Premier Helen Zille said she was confident the fire would be out in time for the race to take place."It is known as the most scenic cycle tour in the world but now it will tour through some of the greatest devastation that the peninsula has ever seen, which will be heart-wrenching," she said.

Latest Tory pitch for support: ‘Jihadi terrorists have declared war on Canada’-By Laura Beaulne-Stuebing | Canada Politics – MAR 4,15-YAHOONEWS

If the Conservative Party’s latest email to supporters were to be taken literally, Canadians should be shaking in their salt-stained Sorel winter boots: Canada is, according to the CPC, a war zone.In an email sent out on March 2, Tim Uppal, MP for Edmonton-Sherwood Park, suggested Canada is being targeted by terrorists and that the government’s anti-terror bill, the controversial Bill C-51 that has received plenty of criticism from security experts, will keep Canadians safe.“Jihadi terrorists have declared war on Canada,” Uppal wrote.“They hate us for our values. They hate us because we love freedom and tolerance.” Near the end of February, media outlets reported that the Somalia-based terror group Al-Shabaab, the same group that attacked a mall in Nairobi, Kenya in 2013, had posted a video online encouraging supporters to attack public shopping spaces, including the West Edmonton Mall.This, according to Uppal, is a reason why Canadians should get behind C-51."This hit home for me last week,” Uppal continued. "A terrorist organization identified the West Edmonton Mall – near my riding of Edmonton-Sherwood Park – as a target for a terrorist attack."

Terrorism survey: 50% of Canadians feel less safe than 2 years ago-CBC – MAR 4,15-YAHOONEWS

Nearly half of Canadians say they feel less safe from terrorism than they did two years ago, according to a survey conducted for CBC News.Two-thirds say it is likely that an attack will occur in Canada within the next five years, including 42 per cent who expect that it will result in mass death and destruction.However, only nine per cent think terrorism and national security should be the top priority for federal politicians, behind unemployment (20 per cent), the economy(19 per cent) and health care (15 per cent)."People aren’t hysterical about terrorism. They’re still focused on the things that do affect them directly on a daily basis, which is the economy and jobs and health care," said Craig Worden, executive vice-president of public affairs at Pollara Strategic Insights. "But terrorism is there."Although two-thirds said they were concerned about a terror attack in Canada, the issue trailed several others in the survey, including:- economy (89 per cent) - health care (87 per cent)- jobs and unemployment (81 per cent)- the value of the dollar (79 per cent)- the environment (75 per cent)- oil prices (70 per cent)- housing prices (68 per cent)-Nearly a third of respondents said the ability of a party and its leader to prepare and respond to a terror attack would be a major factor in the upcoming federal election, with only 15 per cent saying it won’t be a factor at all.Divided on party support-Twenty-eight per cent said the Conservatives were the best party to deal with terrorism, followed by 21 per cent for the Liberals and 11 per cent for the NDP. However, the largest group, at 38 per cent, said they were unsure."The overall message that this sends to me is that when you see a politician raising the spectre of homegrown terrorism," said Worden, "that those claims carry weight and credibility with a sizable proportion of Canadians."More than half said the federal government under Prime Minister Stephen Harper is on the right track when it comes to managing terrorism and national security.The government recently introduced anti-terror legislation, Bill C-51, that would give Canada's spy agency broad powers to disrupt alleged plots, allow suspects to be detained without charge for longer and let the government share information more widely.Critics say the new powers are too broad and the legislation doesn't include adequate safeguards to protect Canadians' privacy.

Concerns about young people

When asked about challenges facing young people in Canada, 71 per cent said they are concerned that Canadian youth could become radicalized or recruited by extremists.However, those concerns trailed youth unemployment (80 per cent),  abuse of hard drugs (76 per cent), the cost of post-secondary education (74 per cent) and being recruited by organized crime (73 per cent).Two-thirds said they expected Canadian youth they don’t know will become radicalized or recruited by extremists in the next five years. More than a quarter said they expected a young person whom they know to do so the same in the next five years.Several high-profile cases of young people apparently becoming radicalized by Islamic extremists have made recent international headlines. Three British teens flew to Turkey in an apparent bid to join ISIS and six young Quebecers left Canada in January to join militants in Syria.In another case, the family of a young Canadian woman said she travelled to Syria after becoming radicalized by an ISIS recruiter in Edmonton.The poll was conducted by Pollara Strategic Insights for CBC. A total of 1,000 adult Canadians participated in the online survey between Feb. 8 and 11.Since the poll was conducted online, reporting on the margin of error is not applicable. However, as a guideline, a probability sample of this size would yield results accurate to +/- 3.1 per cent, 19 times out of 20.As part of CBC's Our Canada series, Adrienne Arsenault asks Are We Safe? on The National tonight.

EU ready with sanctions if Ukraine ceasefire violated, Merkel says-Reuters-MAR 4,15-YAHOONEWS

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned Russia on Wednesday that any serious violation of the current ceasefire in east Ukraine - which she described as "fragile" - would prompt Europe to impose further sanctions on Moscow for supporting the separatists."So far we've got a fragile ceasefire which needs to be stabilized," Merkel told reporters in Brussels."But if the Minsk agreement is seriously violated, European leaders and the (European) Commission stand ready to prepare and impose further sanctions," she said at a news conference with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.(Reporting by Stephen Brown and Michael Nienaber in Berlin; editing by Erik Kirschbaum)

Official says China to boost military budget by 10 percent-Associated Press-By CHRISTOPHER BODEEN-MAR 4,15-YAHOONEWS

BEIJING (AP) — China's official military budget will grow by about 10 percent in the coming year, a legislative spokeswoman said Wednesday, amid unease among Beijing's neighbors about its growing might and territorial ambitions.The increase to about $145 billion in spending would mark the fifth year in a row of double-digit increases despite the country's slowing economic growth, which fell to 7.4 percent last year from 7.7 percent the previous year.The spending reflects China's growing power and desire to assert itself in the region and globally. However, Beijing says the bigger budgets are only aimed at modernizing and improving conditions for the 2.3 million-member People's Liberation Army, the world's largest standing military."China has a tougher road to travel than other large nations in terms of national defense modernization. We can only rely on ourselves for research and development of most of our military technology," legislative spokeswoman Fu Ying said."Meanwhile, we need to ceaselessly improve conditions for our soldiers," Fu said.Fu told a news conference that China's military posture remains strictly defensive and that it has never used "gunboats" to advance its trade interests.Despite such assurances, neighboring countries have increased their own military spending in part to counter China's rise.In the past several years, Chinese and Japanese ships have frequently confronted each other near a set of contested East China Sea islands. China and India also have a disputed border high in the Himalayas.China also has disputes with several neighbors over territory in the South China Sea, where U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said last week that Beijing is expanding outposts as part of an "aggressive" effort to assert sovereignty.Japan increased its defense budget by 2.8 percent this year to a record $42 billion, the third consecutive year of increases following 11 years of declines prior to hawkish Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's rise to power in 2012. Planes and naval vessels to counter China's growing capabilities top the Japanese military's shopping list.Even more dramatically, India, the world's biggest arms importer in recent years, increased its spending this year by 11 percent to $40 billion, with big increases for its navy and air force. New Delhi has expressed concern not only about the disputed land border, but also about the Chinese navy's growing presence in the Indian Ocean.China's official military spending is still less than a third of the U.S. defense budget, a proposed $534 billion this year along with $51 billion for the conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. But it comes against a background of anticipated flat or falling American spending on its armed forces in coming years.The Pentagon and global arms bodies estimate China's actual military spending may be anywhere from 40 to 50 percent more because the official budget doesn't include the costs of high-tech weapons imports, research and development, and other key programs.Neighboring countries have come to expect Chinese defense increases, said Alexander Neill, a senior fellow for Asia-Pacific security for the International Institute for Strategic Studies."There's the expectation that it's not likely to plateau in the next few years, but will generally sit around that level commensurate with the PLA's reform and modernization goals," Neill said.China's low inflation could make this year's increase close to or bigger in real terms than rises in recent years, when rapid price increases eroded the military's buying power.The planned increase of about 10 percent — to be confirmed Thursday at the opening of the National People's Congress's annual session — is in line with the overall increase in government spending planned for 2015, NPC spokeswoman Fu said.Last year's increase was 12.2 percent.China's neighbors may gain a degree of reassurance from the dip in the growth rate, said Ni Lexiong, a military expert at Shanghai's University of Political Science and Law.Growth of less than 10 percent would likely "be not enough" to meet the PLA's modernization goals, Ni said.China is seeking to improve conditions for the military amid rising labor costs and competition with the private sector for top graduates in science and technology.The need for ever-more sophisticated weaponry is also increasing the costs, with the addition of an aircraft carrier combat wing, the roll-out of two prototype stealth fighters and cruise missiles that fly faster than the speed of sound.The PLA's traditional mandate had been to guard China's borders and prepare for contingencies involving Taiwan, the self-governing island that Beijing has pledged to take control of, by force if necessary.However, newer missions, including U.N. peacekeeping operations, are taking China's military much further afield. China is also poised to pass an anti-terrorism law that could authorize the sending of military forces overseas to take part in anti-terror missions if granted permission by the host nation.China's forces, under the control of the Communist Party, are seen as being hampered by political interference, and top commanders have lately come under scrutiny as part of a nationwide crackdown on corruption.Already, President Xi Jinping has overseen the arrests of two top generals, including the military's retired No. 2 officer, Xu Caihou. This week, officials announced that 14 other top officers are under investigation or have been convicted of crimes such as selling ranks, embezzling funds or taking kickbacks on housing contracts.While harming morale among some officers, the anti-graft drive could bring benefits to the military through a reduction of waste and losses from corruption, said Shanghai expert Ni."We don't know the exact figures, but a great deal of money will be saved and spent wisely on the development of the military, which is of great significance," Ni said.

U.S. says 'seriously concerned' about North Korea's nuclear work-Reuters-MAR 4,15-YAHOONEWS

(Reuters) - The United States remain seriously concerned about North Korea's nuclear work which it said breached international agreements, it said on Wednesday, a day after the isolated Asian country said it had the power to deter a U.S. "nuclear threat."The Unites States said North Korea's graphite moderated reactor could enable it to produce additional plutonium for weapons in the near future, among other nuclear activities."These activities are clear violations of multiple (U.N.) resolutions and must cease immediately," the United States said in a statement on the website of its mission in Vienna, the Austrian capital that is home to the International Atomic Energy Organization.(Reporting by Shadia Nasralla; Editing by Robin Pomeroy)

French nuclear industry in turmoil as manufacturer buckles-Associated Press-MAR 4,15-YAHOONEWS

PARIS (AP) — France's nuclear industry is in turmoil after the country's main reactor manufacturer, Areva, reported a loss for 2014 of 4.8 billion euros ($5.3 billion) — more than its entire market value.
The government of France, the world's most nuclear dependent country, has a 29 percent stake in Areva, which is among the biggest global nuclear technology companies. The loss puts its future — and that of France as a leader in nuclear technology — at risk.Energy and Environment Minister Segolene Royal said Wednesday she asked Areva and utility giant Electricite de France to work together on finding solutions, amid reports of a possible merger or other link-up.The government said in a statement that it's working closely with Areva to restructure and secure financing, and would "take its responsibility as a shareholder" in future decisions about its direction.Areva reported Wednesday 1 billion euros in losses on three major nuclear projects in Finland and France, among other hits.Areva has lost money for years, in part linked to delays on those projects and to a global pullback from nuclear energy since the 2011 Fukushima accident.The industry employs 220,000 people in France.Royal, describing the situation in the strategic industry as "very difficult," said job cuts aren't expected as Areva tries to get back on its feet, but said the company is studying voluntary departures."Perhaps in the past, these companies remained too inert, too static, but today they are changing," she told reporters after a Cabinet meeting.

03/ 2/2015-VATICAN INSIDER-“There’s no mystery behind delivery of book in defense of marriage to Synod fathers”-The Synod discussions-The Vatican Secretariat of State stated that all parcels that arrived, were delivered to recipients’ mail boxes without any knowledge of the contents. Nobody made anything ‘disappear’. "What is more, the book was available at the Vatican Publishing House book desk, at the entrance of the Synod Hall"-ANDREA TORNIELLI

vatican city-Four months after the Extraordinary Synod on the Family, German news agency Kath.net reported an alleged censorship. Other English-speaking and Italian websites and blogs immediately republished the news. It was suggested that the Synod Secretariat had deliberately prevented the book “Remaining in the Truth of Christ: Marriage and Communion in the Catholic Church” from reaching Synod Fathers’ mailboxes. Readers will recall that the book contains essays by five cardinals – including the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith – who staunchly opposed Walter Kasper’s proposal for the Church to open up to the prospect of readmitting remarried divorcees to the sacraments in certain cases and under certain conditions.According to Kath.net, when the Synod’s organisers found out what was in the parcels, they “apparently simply removed the parcels from members’ mailboxes. Only two or three of the prelates apparently received them.” Kath.net claims the Synod’s Secretary, Cardinal Lorenzo Baldisseri, was responsible for this action, adding that “the incident took place in the Vatican, not in the Kremlin”.What really happened? Was preventive censorship really carried out on a book that had been commented on by newspapers the world round, well before the Synod was held? Vatican Insider asked the General Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops for explanations.“There was no censorship and the parcels that arrived were delivered. When they were delivered, the parcels only had an Italian stamp on them but had not been stamped either by the Italian or the Vatican postal services. Before distributing the parcels to the Synod Fathers, the Synod Secretariat asked the Vatican postal service to stamp them. Each parcel that arrived was then placed in each of the Synod Fathers’ corresponding named mailboxes. The contents of the parcels remained confidential as happens with all post distributed as normal.”“The stamping process delayed the delivery of the parcels by half a day. Nobody made the parcels disappear and if anyone did not receive their parcel, this is simply because it did not arrive. What is more, the book in question was available at the Vatican Publishing House book desk, at the entrance of the Synod Hall.”

03/ 3/2015-VATICAN INSIDER-Statutes for economic reform are in force: Pell will oversee but not manage assets-St. Peter's-The Pope promulgated them on 22 February before the Spiritual Exercises took place. They came into force as of March 1st. There will be three general revisors as per the proposals made by the Council for Legislative Texts-andrea tornielli

vatican city-A general revisor assisted by two two others revisors, a Secretariat for the Economy with a strong oversight element, that is able to control and advise on the correct management of human and material resources. The body that was established a year ago and is headed by Australian cardinal George Pell is not going to become a “super-dicastery” with powers of control, investment and expenditure as was suggested on a number of occasions. In fact, the Pope has established that the Secretariat will remain a body with powers similar to those of a reinforced Prefecture for economic affairs, which has some of the powers APSA has and the ability to regularise budgets. A read of the statutes of the Secretariat, the Council for the Economy and the general Revisor which were published today but approved by the Pope on 22 February, before he set off on his Lenten retreat to Ariccia, it emerges that Francis took into account the most significant suggestions sent by the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts. The Council had advised increasing the number of revisors and keeping monitoring and management tasks separate.The Pope has approved three documents. All of these entered into force “ad experimentum” on March 1st. As the institutions in question are new, things have been done in such a way as to allow for adjustments and any potential corrections to be made in the next few months. The first article of the Statute states that the Secretariat for the Economy is the dicastery of the Roman Curia that exercises functions of administrative and financial control and oversight of  the dicasteries of the Roman Curia, institutions that are either linked or refer to the Holy See and the administrations of the Vatican Governorate.The new law stipulates that the Secretariat acts in collaboration with the Secretariat of State which has exclusive responsibility for relations with States and with other subjects of public international law. It goes on to add that the Secretariat guarantees that issues relating to entities and administrations mentioned in article 1 will be dealt with taking the independence and responsibilities of each of these into due account.The dicastery headed by Pell is split into two sections, the section for control and oversight and the administrative section. There will be two prelate secretaries (the first will bear the title of general secretary) who will oversee the two sections. The first section will control and oversee activities relating to planning, expenses, budgets, final balances, investments and the management of human, financial and material resources of controlled entities: the aim is to reinforce the powers so far held by the Prefecture for the Economic Affairs of the Holy See, established in 1967 by Paul VI for the purpose of checking balance sheets. The tasks of control and oversight will now also have a preventive element and the dicastery will have a lot more freedom of movement and intervention and will promote inspections. When this section learns about any losses relating to the patrimony of the entities and administrations mentioned in article 1, the former will ensure that corrective measures therein included are adopted and that civil or criminal action or administrative sanctions are resorted to where appropriate.The second section – the administrative section – will provide guidance and model procedures for tenders aimed at ensuring that all assets and services requested by the dicasteries of the Roman Curia and institutions that are linked or refer to the Holy See  are acquired in the most prudent, efficient and economically advantageous way, in line with appropriate internal  checks and procedures. It will give guidelines to optimize the management of resources in order to prevent waste and rationalize expenses. This section will also follow the establishment of wages and hiring of new staff. It is to be understood, however, that the Secretariat of State will ascertain the required qualities and skills of candidates applying for a position. The emphasis placed on this point shows that the Secretariat of State is maintaining an influence.What this first article of the statute referring to the second, administrative section of the Secretariat for the Economy seems to indicate is that while the monitoring (first section) will be exercised over the offices of the holy See and the Vatican Governorate, the actions relating to procedural guidance (second section) will only regard the Holy See’s dicasteries and institutions linked to the Holy See, not the Vatican City State.The statutes make no mention of the possibility of the Secretariat for the Economy taking on the management of moveable and immoveable property which has so far been administered by APSA (Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See), as Pell would have wanted, also in view of the assumed creation of a Vatican Asset Management body for the unified management of investments under the aegis of the Secretariat, to be entrusted to IOR president, Jean-Baptiste de Franssu. So APSA is still responsible for the management of properties and its powers have not been transferred to the secretariat for the Economy. The new statute for the Council for the Economy, defined as an entity in charge of overseeing the structures and administrative and financial activities of the dicasteries of the Roman Curia and the Governorate, stipulates that the Council will protect the entities’ assets, reduce financial risks and rationalise human and financial resources. The Council will check budget plans and annual and consolidated financial statements which it will send to the Pope for approval. It is composed of 15 members, 8 cardinals or bishops and 7 lay experts. It will also have a prelate secretary and will meet four times a year. It will exercise significant influence on policy in this field but will not have the power to create legislation. Finally, Francis has also approved the statute for the general Revisor who will be assisted by two additional revisors, as suggested by the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts. So there will be three revisors in order to make their work more autonomous, mutual checks and more independence should any pressure be exercised from outside the office. They will be in charge of auditing and carrying out administrative checks on entities. The Revisor will be alerted as to any irregularities, he will carry our specific checks into activities that move away substantially from the set guidelines and approved budget plans. He will look into any irregularities that may arise in the allocation of tenders or contracts for external services or in transactions or in cases of alienation.The three new statutes, the Secretariat statute, the Council statute and the general Revisor statute, confirm that the documentation acquired is protected by professional secrecy. Significantly, is is also stated that the languages used are Italian and English.The documents, which have been pinned to the board in the San Damaso Courtyard for a few days now, show that additional proposals and observations have been included in the texts  which the Secretariat for the Economy took nine months to prepare. So it seems it is the fruit of a collective effort which has taken different sensibilities into account in order to try to create a system that is able to function efficiently.

Three lawmakers refused to attend the Idaho Senate's daily invocation given by Hindu cleric Rajan Zed-March 3, 2015 9:49PM ET-aljizeera

Three lawmakers refused to attend the Idaho Senate's daily invocation after objecting to the offering of a Hindu prayer.Rajan Zed, guest chaplain, gave a lengthy prayer in both English and Sanskrit on Tuesday that focused on selflessness and peace. Senators from both sides of the aisle shook his hand and thanked him for coming.However three lawmakers, all Republican, only came back onto the floor once the prayer was over: Sens. Steve Vick of Dalton Garden, Sheryl Nuxoll of Cottonwood and Lori Den Hartog of Meridian.Prayer is a common event in Idaho's Republican-controlled Statehouse. The Idaho Senate and House convene each day with a prayer by the chamber's chaplains from Christian denominations followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. And most lawmakers cite their religion in the heir bios for the state's legislative directory.Nuxoll says she declined to attend because she believes the United States is a Christian nation."Hindu is a false faith with false gods," she said. "I think it's great that Hindu people can practice their religion but since we're the Senate, we're setting an example of what we, Idaho, believe."Nuxoll added that she wished the Senate had conducted a Christian prayer along with the Hindu invocation.Vick had announced his objections the day before, saying that he would ask his colleagues to join him.Den Hartog said it would've been disingenuous to her Christian faith to attend.Zed said he reached out to Senate Pro Tem Brent Hill to offer the invocation. Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, has delivered traditional Hindu prayers to both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate and in nearly a dozen state legislatures.The Associated Press

4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Like a famous WWII Belgian General,Paul Henry Spock said in 1957:We need no commission, we have already too many. What we need is a man who is great enough to be able to keep all the people in subjection to himself and to lift us out of the economic bog into which we threaten to sink. Send us such a man. Be he a god or a devil, we will accept him.And today, sadly, the world is indeed ready for such a man.

National governments punch holes in EU data protection bill By Nikolaj Nielsen-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, 3. Mar, 21:06-National governments are unraveling a EU data protection bill for the benefit of big business, according to leaked documents published by pro-privacy campaigners.Digital rights advocate Joe McNamee at the Brussels-based EDRi on Tuesday (3 March) said the regulation is now at risk of becoming “an empty shell”.He said member states are “undermining the meaning of every article, every paragraph, almost every single comma and full stop in the original proposal.”Raegan MacDonald, European policy manager at Access, accused the member states of “carving out so many loopholes there’ll soon be nothing left.”The bill aims to update two-decade old EU data protection laws and create one set of rules across all 28-member states via a legally binding regulation.First proposed in 2012, the bill has undergone intense lobbying over the years with the European Parliament having adopted its position in March 2014 before passing it onto the co-legislating member states.MEPs spearheading the bill at the time had to sift through some 4,000 amendments.Despite the lobbying, parliament’s version was largely seen as an improvement on the privacy protection rights initially proposed by the commission.Member states have since held protracted internal debates with signs suggesting that Germany is now leading the pack in rolling back key points in the original draft.Wording in the latest texts dated from the end of February (see here,here, here, and here) show government representatives diluting issues of consent, a number of other rights, and a central oversight and arbitration feature known as the one stop shop.

Marketing

On consent, anyone can authorise a company to process personal details for things like marketing.
However, national governments say that the same company should then also be able to pass on the details to another company – through a “legitimate interest” clause - without the person being informed.Those companies can then process the data for reasons that are entirely unrelated to the original authorisation.“If a company you have never heard of can process your data for reasons you've never heard of, what is the point in having data protection legislation,” note the digital advocates in an eight-page analysis of the leaked texts.Another anomaly is that member states have removed the concept of “explicit consent”, initially proposed by the commission.Default browser settings may automatically accept cookies, which can be used by advertising websites to track sites visited. According to the leaked texts, a user provides consent to be tracked and profiled, if, for instance, those default browser settings remain untouched.Other sensitive bits include removing an article that requires people to be informed on “concise, transparent, clear and easily accessible policies” whenever their personal data is being used.

Profiling

They have also reinserted an article, removed by the parliament in their text, that would allow governments to claim national security interests to profile their own citizens.“This is basically providing a blank cheque to governments which, under various excuses, may start to profile people based on their online political activities,” notes the analysis paper.On oversight, the commission's plan allows companies to tackle EU-wide data cases through the data chief in the EU country in which they have their HQ, instead of dealing with 28 national regimes.A single data protection authority would also be responsible for taking legally binding decisions against a firm. Their final decision applies to all other member states.In case things go wrong, a European Data Protection Board (EDPB) would step in to make sure the rules are applied correctly.But member states do not like the idea and instead have proposed a more complex arbitration feature that would require the consent of two data protection authorities in some cases. Ministers had already expressed dislike of the dea last December.EU lawmakers are hoping to enter into negotiations with the member states before the summer in the hope of having the bill passed before the end of the year.
