Respondent's Response to Enforcement Opposition for Change to 120 Day Proceedings Re: Mark Feathers 3- 15755 Respondent's Response to Enforcement Opposition for Change to 120 Day Proceedings re: Mark Feathers 3- 15755 Enforcement shows strong opposition to Respondent's request for the Commission to modify these proceedings to a 120 day category from a 75 day category. Is this not the Commission's decision to make? Enforcement presents its normal assemblage of red herrings and alternative facts in its reply. The district court order enjoining Respondent against violating federal securities laws was issued in 2013. And, Respondent is under probation and criminal court order, as well, to not engage in violations of the securities laws through 2022. So, "urgency" as the basis to 75 day proceedings, as Enforcement argues in its opposition filing, is nonsensical. And the Stalker forensic accounting report of Respondent's investment funds, ordered by criminal court but only after civil court's adverse summary judgement against Respondent, clearly has added a level of complexity to these proceedings which the Commission could not have considered (and likely did not even hold awareness of), at the time it ordered 75 day hearings. The Commission should now be made aware of the Stalker Report, and form its own determination on Respondent's request to re-designate these as 120 day proceedings. And, since the public paid for the report, Respondent holds belief, which he hopes that the Commission and this court concur with, that the public benefits as well with knowledge that Enforcement is not allowed by this court to snuff out material and reliable third-party produced adversarial evidentiary information from being presented to this court and to the Commissioners. And, In its reply, Enforcement points to a statement in criminal court that civil proceedings were " prolonged" and "caused" by Feathers. Exhibit 1, which Respondent asks this court take judicial notice of, is the Receiver's "Seventh Interim Fee Application". The Receiver, appointed on Enforcement's district court request, not on Respondent's request, notes on line 4, page 9 of his report, fees in his "Totals" column of $1,830,930. Column 2 of the Receiver's report is labeled as "Defendant- Related". They total $66,415, or de minimis, at only 3.6% of the Receiver's fees. Yet, Enforcement would rather the Commission, and/or, this court rely on red herring arguments. The numbers speak for themselves, however. Right? In June 2012 Enforcement's licensed CPA added together the distributions of Respondent's funds to their investments, and on that basis -while under seal and using "proforma" and "prima facie" labels to his work, doubled the appearance of the actual distributions of Respondent's investment funds, doing so even while not informing district court that third party CPA audited financial statements of Respondent's investment funds, with GAAP basis CPA verified distribution amounts, thoroughly rebutted his false, uncontested, and sealed, assertions. Respondent asks this court, and the Commissioners, in the near future, to imagine they hold a checking account. Money goes in, and money goes out. Perhaps in a year's time $1,000 was deposited and $1,000 was withdrawn, for a net balance of $0. Now, imagine that a federal government CPA told a district court, under seal that $2,000 was actually withdrawn, and while so doing, asked the court to allow a seizure of the judge's checking account on the basis of providing false financial illustrations to that court which grossly exaggerated the actual amounts of monies withdrawn, with no explicable basis for doing so. And that the Enforcement CPA was able to adhere a "Ponzi-like" in his descriptive labels, but only by knowing that a court would hold reliance on that CPA's own false numbers, and in deference to the fact that the numbers were presented by an esteemed and reputable party such as an SEC ENFORCEMENT CPA. An accountant with 23 years of Enforcement experience and federal CPA licensing, as described by Enforcement in civil court pleadings, in fact. Clearly, in 2012, Enforcement's staff of accountants and prosecutors were willing to do anything, including engaging in criminal activities themselves, on appearance, to prove to the public that they were busting Ponzi schemes right and left. And to promote their efforts, Enforcement heralded its own duplicitous actions very publicly, and to the untold great harm of Respondent; see Exh ibit 2.

Seaman (the "Receiver"), the court-appointed Permanent Receiver 2 for Small Business Capital Corp. ("SB Capital"), Investors Prime Fund, LLC 3 ("IPF"), SBC Portfolio Fund, LLC ("SPF") and their subsidiaries and affiliates 4 (collectively, the "Receivership Entities"), submits this seventh interim application 5 for approval and payment of fees. This application covers the three-month period 6 May 1, 2014, through July 31, 2014 (the "Seventh Application Period"). 7 During the Seventh Application Period, the Receiver and his staff spent 1,220.3 8 hours at a weighted average hourly rate of $163 per hour for a total cost of 9 $198,712.00 to service the loan portfolios, prepare for the sale of the remaining 10 assets, administer investor inquiries, and otherwise execute the duties set forth in the 11 Temporary Restraining Order and Order Appointing Receiver entered on June 26, 12 2012 (“TRO”), the Preliminary Injunction Order entered on July 10, 2012 (“PI”), 13 and subsequent orders of the Court. Significant progress in all aspects of the case 14 was made during the three month period of the fee application, including the 15 ongoing managing and servicing the loan portfolios in accordance with SBA and 16 DRE requirements, financial reporting and preparation of tax returns, the CBB 17 litigation, and marketing the remaining loans and SBLC license for sale.

The amount for loan servicing during the Seventh Application 24 Period was incurred prior to August 1, 2014 and future fee applications will account 25 for any such amounts approved by the Court. 26 During this period, the gross receipts from all sources were $1,256,805.34. 27 The cash balance as of July 31, 2014, was $5,767,665.83. The Receiver’s fees as a 28 percentage of the gross receipts during the Seventh Application Period were 15.8%.

The Receiver seeks approval 3 of his fees in full and authority to pay 90% of the approved fees. 4 The Receiver notes that while the foregoing metrics indicate that the amount 5 of the Receiver’s fees is reasonable based on the size of cash flow and receivership 6 assets, many of the Receiver’s activities which are necessary and properly incurred 7 do not generate revenue to the estate. These activities include supporting discovery 8 requests of interested parties, quarterly reporting to the Court and interested parties, 9 administration of claims, investor communications, and the interference of 10 Defendant Mark Feathers. During the Seventh Application Period, the Receiver 11 and his agents responded to numerous investor inquiries about distribution checks 12 and related matters. In addition, efforts to sell the remaining loans accounted for 13 nearly a third of the fees during the Seventh Application Period, which will generate 14 a substantial recovery for the estate when the sales close. 15 16 WORK PERFORMED BY THE RECEIVER 17 During the Seventh Application Period, the Receiver and his agents and 18 counsel worked diligently to operate the Receivership Entities and administer the 19 receivership estate. Significant progress and completion of substantial requirements 20 of the case have been achieved. The primary work still to be completed is the sale 21 of the loan portfolios and the SBLC license and resolution of the litigation against 22 California Business Bank. Once this work is done, the Receiver will be in a position 23 to make a final distribution to investors and conclude the receivership case (if 24 approved and authorized by the Court).

  • Start a Premium Handcrafted English Willow Cricket Bat Manufacturing
    Y-1743 www.entrepreneurindia.co www.niir.org INTRODUCTION A cricket bat is a modified piece of equipment that batsmen use to strike the ball in the sport of cricket. It usually consists of a cane handle connected to a flat-fronted willow-wood blade. A batter who is making their ground will do it to prevent being run out if they keep the bat and hit the ground with it. The bat must be no longer than 38 inches (965 mm) in length and no wider than 4.25 inches in width (108 mm). The first time it was seen was in 1624. Since 1979, a law has required bats to be made entirely of wood. www.entrepreneurindia.co www.niir.org MANUFACTURING OF ENGLISH WILLOW CRICKET BATS Willow wood and cane are used to make the cricket bat. The handle of the bat is made of cane, and the blade of the bat is made of willow. Willow wood has properties that allow it to absorb shock. When the ball is struck hard and quick, it is difficult to bat. The shock is absorbed by the willow tree. The production of cricket bats goes through many stages in order to produce the highest quality bats. Various steps in the production process are included, from planting willow trees to playing cricket on the field. Kashmir willow and English willow are the two major bat-making woods in India. www.entrepreneurindia.co www.niir.org Step 1:- Plating willow trees and cane: Wood is the most popular raw material used in the production of cricket bats.

In the last decade, new energy dissipating composites based on the use of certain complex fluids have flourished, due to their non-linear relationship between stress and strain rate depending on the flow/field configuration. This manuscript intends to review the different approaches reported in the literature, analyses the fundamental physics behind them and assess their pros and cons from the perspective of their practical applications.
