  • An Industry Haunted by Its Own History | 1
    An Industry Haunted by Its Own History | 1 An Industry Haunted by Its Own History By Kerry Pechter Thu, Nov 1, 2018 The ghost of demutualization haunts much of the annuity industry today. But that topic was not on the agenda of the annual LIMRA conference in New York earlier this week (Photo: Former FBI director James Comey, the keynote speaker at the conference). Bob Kerzner, in his final address to the LIMRA membership after 14 popular years as their CEO, posed a perennial question: why hasn’t the life insurance industry capitalized on the Boomer retirement opportunity to the degree that it hoped, expected and, in its mind, deserved to? A complete answer to that question (which may stem in part from a post-demutualization misalignment of interests with the public) will fill a book someday (see note at end of story). Bob Kerzner Kerzner spoke at the annual LIMRA conference, which was held this year at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York. As the polyglot mass of tourists posed for snaps with the “Naked Cowboy” et al in Times Square below, a thousand or so dark-suited executives gathered soberly in the hotel ballrooms above. The conference was ornamented by the appearances of a celebrity guest speaker, former FBI director James Comey, and an inspirational TED talker, Simon Sinek (pronounced “cynic”). Both spoke of one’s duty to callings higher than achieving sales goals; both were also promoting new books. The most productive breakout session at the conference, for annuity issuers at least, may An Industry Haunted by Its Own History | 2 have been a discussion about potential synergies between various annuity industry stakeholders.

Out-of-state law enforcement agencies may contact the Instructors Library about the possibility of arranging a loan. How to Borrow North East Multi-Regional Training In-Service Training Tapes How to Borrow Tapes: Call, write, or Fax NEMRT's librarian (that's Sarah Cole). Calling is probably the most effective way to contact her, because you can get immediate feedback on what tapes are available. In order to insure that borrowers are authorized through their law enforcement agency to borrow videos, please submit the initial lending request on agency letterhead (not a fax cover sheet or internal memo form). Also provide the name of the department’s training officer. If a requested tape is in the library at the time of the request, it will be sent to the borrower’s agency immediately. If the tape is not in, the borrower's name will be put on the tape's waiting list, and it will be sent as soon as possible. The due date--the date by which the tape must be back at NEMRT--is indicated on the loan receipt included with each loan. Since a lot of the tapes have long waiting lists, prompt return is appreciated not only by the Instructors' Library, but the other departments using the video collection.

Plaintiff Robert Burck is a "street entertainer" who performs in New York City's Times Square as The Naked Cowboy, wearing only a white cowboy hat, cowboy boots, and underpants, and carrying a guitar strategically placed to give the illusion of nudity. He has registered trademarks to "The Naked Cowboy" name and likeness. Beginning in April 2007, defendants Mars, Incorporated ("Mars") and Chute Gerdeman, Inc. ("Chute") began running an animated cartoon advertisement on two oversized video billboards in Times Square, featuring a blue M&M dressed "exactly like The Naked Cowboy," wearing only a white cowboy hat, cowboy boots, and underpants, and carrying a guitar. In this case, Burck sues defendants for compensatory and punitive damages. He alleges that defendants have violated his "right to publicity" under New York law and infringed his trademarks under federal law by using his likeness, persona, and image for commercial purposes without his written permission and by falsely suggesting that he has endorsed M&M candy. Three motions are before the Court: Chute moves pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) to dismiss the complaint; Mars moves pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(c) for judgment on the pleadings; and Burck moves pursuant to Fed.

The “Russia 2017: three scenarios” report published in 2007 served as background material and provided a source of stimuli for this work. Examined in the report are both the progress of modernisation in Russia and prospects for the economy all they way up to 2030. A new approach in this work of updating and forecasting has been to seek visions of and scenario themes for development in Russia through a “neighbourly relations in the future” assessment. To deepen its expertise on cross-border neighbourly relations, the Committee visited Imatra and Svetogorsk on 23.4.2010.

  • Alexei Kojevnikov Alexei Kojevnikov Since 1948, the Lysenko Case Has Become Generally Known As the Symbol of the Ideological
    GAMES OF SOVIET DEMOCRACY IDEOLOGICAL DISCUSSIONS IN SCIENCES AROUND 1948 RECONSIDERED. Alexei Kojevnikov* Alexei Kojevnikov Alexei Kojevnikov Since 1948, the Lysenko case has become generally known as the symbol of the ideological dic- tate in science and its damaging consequences. It is often explained that in the years following World War II, the Stalinist leadership launched an ideological and nationalistic campaign aimed at the creation of Marxist-Leninist and/or distinctively Russian, non-Western science. Concepts and theories which were found idealistic or bourgeois were banned and their supporters si- lenced. In no other science was this process completed to the same degree as in biology after the infamous Session of the Soviet Academy of Agricultural Sciences in August 1948, at which Lysenko declared the victory of his "Michurinist biology" over presumably idealistic "formal" genetics. The August Session, in turn, served as the model for a number of other ideological dis- cussions in various scholarly disciplines. This widely accepted interpretation encounters, however, two serious difficulties. The first ari- ses from a selective focus on one particular debate which fits stereotypes the best. It was critics of the Stalinist system who singled out the Lysenko case as the most important example of the application of Soviet ideology to science. The communist party viewed it differently. It did re- gard the event as a major achievement of the party ideological work and a great contribution to the progress of science (until 1964 when the mistake was quietly acknowledged). But what is more interesting and less expected, is that communists claimed five main ideological successes in science rather than one.
