"Mysterium tremendum et fascinans" is a Latin phrase for sacred mysterious awe and grace.

As mysterium, the numinous is "wholly other"-- entirely different from anything we experience in ordinary life. It evokes a reaction of silence. But the numinous is also a mysterium tremendum. It provokes terror because it presents itself as overwhelming power. Finally, the numinous presents itself as fascinans, as merciful and gracious. (Gregory D. Alles [1])

[edit] Origin

From [2]

The phrase is commonly attributed to Rudolf Otto writing about the Numinous feeling of the divine.

However, the phrase is also known as the "Rudolf Otto virus" because it may have in fact been coined much later in a book written about Otto.

Joseph Campbell has the authentic mysterium tremendum in Oriental Mythology (1962), as does Roy A. Rappaport in Ritual & Religion in the Making of Humanity (1999).

In The Sacred & the Profane and in Myths, Dreams & Mysteries (both 1957), Mircea Eliade adds his own coinage, mysterium fascinans, to Otto's mysterium tremendum. In view of this, it seems likely that it was Eliade who coined the phrase mysterium tremendum et fascinans in some other of his many works.

Søren Kierkegaard in "Fear and Trembling" (1843, original Danish title: Frygt og Bæven under the pseudonym Johannes de Silentio, meaning roughly John the Silent in English) introduces the "knight of faith" who relinquishes everything, and also trusts that he will receive it all back. An important theme is the conflict between theology and philosophy. According to Kierkegaard, mid-19th-century secular philosophers laughed at faith and saw no mystery in the story of Abraham while professing to find Hegel's philosophy exceedingly difficult.

The word "Trembling" is a reference to a line from Philippians 2:12, "...continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling."

[edit] Postmodern interpretation

From Post-modernism and its secrets: religion without religion (Cross Currents, Wntr, 2003 by Clayton Crockett) [3]

The essence of the Christian secret is the mysterium tremendum. Derrida focuses on the tremendum, and reads Patocka under the pressure of Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling. Trembling lies at the heart of ethical responsibility and moral reason, and we tremble in the face of a dreaded (even if desired) secret. "As different as dread, fear, anxiety, terror, panic or anguish remain from one another," Derrida explains, "they have already begun in trembling, and what has provoked them continues, or threatens to continue, to make us tremble. Most often we neither know what is coming nor see its origin; it therefore remains a secret." (45) Trembling is a physical affect that seizes the body and the soul, but "(o)ne doesn't know why one trembles." (46) Derrida compares the symptom of trembling with that of tears, which becomes part of the title and an important theme of Caputo's work. Trembling, like weeping, concerns a response whose cause is deeply mysterious yet exceedingly intimate, "the cause closest to our body. " (47) From the body, Derrida shifts registers to God, and remarks that the cause of the trembling in the mysterium tremendum is "the gift of infinite love... We fear and tremble before the inaccessible secret of a God who decides for us although we remain responsible, that is, free to decide, to work, to assume our life and our death." (48)

Threat of Global Market, Global Trade, Global Investment and Global Culture in the Next Decade Kamol Kamoltrakul

( Present paper at the Thai Australia Association Annual General Meeting September 2, 2006, Royal Thai Air Force Club, Bangkok, Thailand. )

Ladies and Gentlemen : It is my pleasure and honor to be here today to share my view with you on the global economic issues. But first of all I would like to thank you Professor Kriangsak Charoenwongsak, the President of the Thai Australian Association for giving me this opportunity. In fact, though my background education is Economics but I don’t want to claim myself an economist, I would prefer to be called a journalist. This story will tell you why?

   President Truman was the first president to appoint a council of economic advisers. Unlike some later presidents, he actually liked to listen to his policy advisers.  However, he preferred a clear recommendation, not a long discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of a particular course of action. 

He quickly grew tired of economist who gave a good recommendation, and then began, "On the other hand. . ." A journalist says what he saw, an economist also says what he saw but add - on the other hand !.

The issues and approaches I am going to touch on today would be from a perspective of a journalist not an economist, so don’t worry you will not hear me say : on the other hand ! The global issues including global market, global trade, global investment and global culture in the next decade are quite broad and boring so I don’t want to sell bad produce to a farmer. The positive and opportunity aspects of those issues which I am sure all of you know better. So, I will focus on the threat of those issues which is the protectionism in the developed countries. The topic today can be defied- globalization in the next decade. A short definition of globalization by many academics is “the growing liberalization of international trade and investment, and the resulting increase in the integration of national economies.” It may also be taken to mean the increasing tendency for firms to think, plan, operate, and invest for the future with reference to markets and opportunities across the world as a whole. So, globalization has a tendency toward uniformity (or “harmonization”), by which norms, standards, rules, and practices are defined and enforced with respect to regions, or the world as a whole, rather than within the bounds of nation-states.

Globalization refers to the implementation of free trade on a global scale, which is accomplished through international trade liberalization. A country liberalizes its trade with other countries by removing policies that serve as barriers to trade. Examples of trade barriers include tariffs, which are high taxes on imported goods that make them less competitive with domestic products, and subsidies, which are monies paid to domestic producers that allow them to sell goods more cheaply than their foreign competitors. Both policies keep foreign producers from selling very much in domestic markets, because when given the choice most people will buy what is cheapest. A policy agenda that seeks to maximize the number of tariffs and subsidies a government employs is usually called protectionism. Trade policy is extremely simple: it boils down to what tariffs or subsidies a government chooses to implement to keep its country’s markets closed to other countries (of course there are other policies governments can use, such as quotas on imported goods, expensive licenses for importers, and sometimes outright bans on foreign goods, but tariffs and subsidies are the main ones). Mr. Ernesto Zedillo, the former President of Mexico said , Developed countries have low tariffs on industrial and service imports and high tariffs (or other forms of protection) on agricultural imports. Industrialised countries have been the main beneficiaries of trade liberalization brought about by the previous eight rounds of multilateral trade negotiations. ( The report of a High-level Panel on Financing for Development appointed by the UN Secretary General on 15 December 2000. Chaired by Mr. Ernesto Zedillo, the former President of Mexico) Oxfam's report the "Rigged Rules and Double Standards," shows that 128 million people could be lifted out of poverty if the rules allowed Africa, Latin America, East Asia and South Asia each to increase their share of world exports by just one percent. In Africa it would generate over $100 billion - five times what the continent receives in aid and debt relief. However, rich world hypocrisy and double standards stop this from happening. The G8 countries (especially US, EU, Canada and Japan) and big corporations rig the rules by: • Subsidizing agribusiness to the tune of $1.5 billion a day. Surpluses are dumped onto world markets, depressing prices and destroying local markets in poor countries. • Using the IMF and World Bank to pry open poor countries' markets with little regard to social consequences. • Taxing goods from poor countries at four times the rate of goods from rich countries. • Profiteering off falling commodity prices that condemn many poor economies to failure. • Allowing corporations to ride roughshod over internationally recognized workers rights.

Subsidies in the developed countries In May 2002, US President George Bush signed a farm bill that would increase subsidies by $83 bn over a period of 10 years. This will raise subsidies to cotton growers by more than 60 per cent. Therefore, other things being equal, cotton producers in East and West Africa and other developing areas should not expect the world price of cotton to go up anytime soon Katherine Daniels, trade policy adviser of Oxfam America said in her report and published in the "Rigged Rules and Double Standards,":

The key point is that local Thai farm products are unlikely to compete with US counterparts, as the US annually spends billions of dollars in subsidies to its farmers, of corn and maize for example, allowing US farmers to sell their products in the world market, including Thailand, at low prices. According to Ms Daniels, Oxfam views that the US subsidies are not fair. The depressed market prices would affect Thai farmers as a whole, just like what Mexican cotton and maize farmers faced when the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) took effect. As a result, Mexican farmers had to migrate to work at factories in big cities and the United States in droves, she said.

A recent study led by Thammasat University academic Rangsan Thanapornpan claims that the Australia-Thailand free trade agreement has benefited only a small group of industrialists, while people in the agricultural sector have been adversely affected. The study says Thailand enjoyed a trade surplus with Australia during 1998-2004. In 2005, the year the FTA was first enforced, Thailand had a trade deficit with Australia worth 3,199 million baht. Not to mention other repercussions that hurt the Thai farmers. In 2005, imports of milk and dairy products from Australia increased by 57%. Beef imports also increased because the tariff was reduced from 51 to 40%. Thai dairy farmers and cattle raisers were directly affected. Meanwhile, many groups have been concerned that the more vulnerable agricultural sector will not be able to compete with Australia’s agricultural businesses. For example, most dairy farms in Thailand are small, with only 10 to 20 head of cattle each. These are organised into 117 cooperatives. Dairy Australia, on the other hand, has more than 10,000 registered farms with about 200 cows each and receive subsidies from Australian government. . About 300,000 dairy farmers are suffering as a result of increased imports of powdered milk from both Australia and New Zealand, he said. “This oversupply problem could get more serious despite the quota restrictions to protect local farmers.”(www.ftawatch.org) Although the volume of Thai exports to Australia grew by 28.5% in 2005 because of tariff reductions. But only auto part of Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreankit, whose family owns the Summit Auto-Parts group, is well positioned to increase exports to Australia significantly under the new 5 per cent auto-parts tariff barrier – down from 40 per cent last year. The growth of the auto-parts sector is at the expense of 300,000 dairy farmers. The Rise of Corporations Today we know that corporations, for good or bad, are major influences on our lives. For example, of the 100 largest economies in the world, 51 are corporations while only 49 are countries. In this era of “globalization”, marginalized people are becoming especially angry at the motives of multinational corporations, and corporate-led globalization is being met with increasing protest and resistance. Large, transnational corporations are becoming increasingly powerful. As profits are naturally the most important goal, damaging results can arise, such as violation of human rights, lobbying for and participating in manipulated international agreements, environmental damage, child labor, driving towards cheaper and cheaper labor, and so on. Multinational corporations claim that their involvement in foreign countries is actually a constructive engagement as it can promote human rights in non-democratic nations. However, it seems that that is more of a convenient excuse to continue exploitative practices. The following are collected from a report by the Institute for Policy Studies. The report is called Top 200: The Rise of Corporate Global Power Of the 100 largest economies in the world, 51 are corporations; only 49 are countries (based on a comparison of corporate sales and country GDPs). 1. The Top 200 corporations' sales are growing at a faster rate than overall global economic activity. Between 1983 and 1999, their combined sales grew from the equivalent of 25.0 percent to 27.5 percent of World GDP. 2. The Top 200 corporations' combined sales are bigger than the combined economies of all countries minus the biggest 10. 3. The Top 200s' combined sales are 18 times the size of the combined annual income of the 1.2 billion people (24 percent of the total world population) living in "severe" poverty. 4. While the sales of the Top 200 are the equivalent of 27.5 percent of world economic activity, they employ only 0.78 percent of the world's workforce. 5. Between 1983 and 1999, the profits of the Top 200 firms grew 362.4 percent, while the number of people they employ grew by only 14.4 percent. 6. A full 5 percent of the Top 200s' combined workforce is employed by Wal-Mart, a company notorious for union-busting and widespread use of part-time workers to avoid paying benefits. The discount retail giant is the top private employer in the world, with 1,140,000 workers, more than twice as many as No. 2, DaimlerChrysler, which employs 466,938. 7. U.S. corporations dominate the Top 200, with 82 slots (41 percent of the total). Japanese firms are second, with only 41 slots. 8. Of the U.S. corporations on the list, 44 did not pay the full standard 35 percent federal corporate tax rate during the period 1996-1998. Seven of the firms actually paid less than zero in federal income taxes in 1998 (because of rebates). These include: Texaco, Chevron, PepsiCo, Enron, Worldcom, McKesson and the world's biggest corporation - General Motors. 9. Between 1983 and 1999, the share of total sales of the Top 200 made up by service sector corporations increased from 33.8 percent to 46.7 percent. Gains were particularly evident in financial services and telecommunications sectors, in which most countries have pursued deregulation.

Intellectual Property Rights

   The developed countries have tightened their protection of new technologies through the WTO's trade-related intellectual property (Trips) agreement, making it more difficult for developing countries to obtain advanced technologies than in the more permissive regime when today's advanced countries were developing. 

IPRs are artificial monopoly rights to intangible goods and services — methods of doing business on the internet, trademarks, computer programmes, designs, manufacturing processes, drug formulations or types of rice. They give IPR owners the right to prevent anyone from making or using their "creation". As such, they provide companies a direct tool to control a portion of the market, to block out competition and to fence off territories. That is why they are seen as a thorn in side of free trade dogma. They are protectionist barriers to enterprise, administered by governments. Global Culture Ben Bagdikian, the former Dean of the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California in Berkeley. When the first edition of his book, The Media Monopoly, was published in 1983, fifty corporations controlled most major media outlets in the United States. When the second edition of Ben Bagdikian's book was published in 1987, twenty-nine corporations controlled most media outlets. When the sixth edition of The Media Monopoly was published in 2000, six megacorporations dominated the mass media. When Ben Bagdikian's last book, The New Media Monopoly, was published in 2004, only five, five megacorporations dominated the mass media, and control what most the world hear, see, read, and believe. — Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) — own most of the newspapers, magazines, books, radio and TV stations, and movie studios of the United States. These Big Five (with General Electric's NBC a close sixth) do not manufacture automobiles, or clothing, or nuts and bolts. They manufacture politics and social values. The media conglomerates have been a major force in creating global culture. They have almost single-handedly as a group, in their radio and television dominance, produced a coarse and vulgar culture that celebrates the most demeaning characteristics in the human psyche — greed, deceit, and cheating as a legitimate way to win (as in the various "reality" shows).

The Consequence of globalization is inequity, the cause of Poverty Around The World Inequality is increasing around the world while the world appears to globalize. Even the wealthiest nation has the largest gap between rich and poor compared to other developed nations. In many cases, international politics and various interests have led to a diversion of available resources from domestic needs to western markets. Historically, politics and power play by the elite leaders and rulers have increased poverty and dependency. These have often manifested themselves in wars, hot and cold, which have often been trade and resource-related. Poverty is therefore not just an economic issue, it is also an issue of political economics A few places around the world do see increasing rates of growth in a positive sense. But globally, there is also a negative change in income distribution. The reality unfortunately is that the gap between the rich and poor is widening. For example: • About 0.13% of the world’s population controlled 25% of the world’s assets in 2004. • 20% of the world’s population consume 86% of the world’s goods while 80% of humanity gets just the remainder 14%. • The first group has 13% of the world's population and receives 45% of the world's PPP income. This group includes the United States, Japan, Germany, France and the United Kingdom, and comprises 500 million people with an annual income level over 11,500 PPP$. • The second group has 42% of the world's population and receives only 9% of the world PPP income. This group includes India, Indonesia and rural China, and comprises 2,100 million people with an income level under 1,000 PPP$. (See Milanovic 2001, p.38). • As of May 2005, the 125 richest people in the world have assets that exceed the combined gross domestic product of all the least developed countries (calculation based on data from list of countries by GDP (PPP) and list of billionaires). The total wealth of the top 8.3 million people around the world “rose 8.2 percent to $30.8 trillion in 2004, giving them control of nearly a quarter of the world’s financial assets.” In other words, about 0.13% of the world’s population controlled 25% of the world’s assets in 2004. Half the world — nearly three billion people — live on less than two dollars a day. • The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the poorest 48 nations (i.e. a quarter of the world’s countries) is less than the wealth of the world’s three richest people combined. • Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names. • Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen. • 1 billion children live in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world). 640 million live without adequate shelter, 400 million have no access to safe water, 270 million have no access to health services. 10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5. . As the world starts to globalize, it is accompanied by criticism of the current forms of globalization, which are feared to be overly corporate-led. As corporations become larger and multinational, their influence and interests go further accordingly. Being able to influence and own most media companies, it is hard to be able to publicly debate the notions and ideals that corporations pursue. Some choices that corporations take to make profits can affect people all over the world. Sometimes fatally. Conclusion : What is the challenge?

Developed countries have low tariffs on industrial and service imports and high tariffs (or other forms of protection) on agricultural imports. Developing countries have substantial tariffs on industrial and service imports and on some agricultural imports. In the Doha round, developed countries are saying to developing ones: "You must make cuts in industrial, service and agricultural tariffs, and then we will make cuts in our agricultural tariffs and other agricultural supports. This will give you better market access for your agricultural exports, in line with your comparative advantage; and we will get better market access for our industrial, service and agricultural exports."

The developed countries are insistent that developing countries make big cuts in protection on non-agricultural imports, so much so as to yield the acronym Nama (non-agricultural market access). The developed countries are making a big push to get developing countries to accept Nama proposals. Most developing countries face serious dangers of de-industrialisation if they accept the basic terms of this negotiation. They risk becoming more specialised than at present in the production of primary commodities and simple, labour-intensive products, and even less diversified in the production of more complex, rich country goods. So the developing countries should strenuously resist the Nama agenda. They should push for rules that allow developing countries more latitude to set tariff levels in line with the maturity of their industries, and with variation rather than uniformity in tariffs across industries in line with differences in the time needed for upgrading. And they should push for relaxation of Trips. The Nama may suit the collective interest of developed countries quite well, but it would be a bad result for the world. I take it as given that the world interest (at least of the human species) favours a more equity and equal distribution of income and wealth. My argument is that faster, catch-up economic growth and industrialisation in developing countries is unlikely in conditions of free trade. The issue of complete deregulation allows corporations to benefit but at the possible expense of people in that nation or region if that deregulation means relaxation of environmental rules, health and educational services including control of natural resources and energy. Neither seems to answer the notion of fairness, though. Often those nations that promote free trade for all, want protectionism for themselves. Globalization can be seen most clearly in the quickening pace and scope of international commerce. Global exports as a share of global domestic product have increased from 14 percent in 1970 to 24 percent today, and the growth of trade has consistently outpaced growth in global output. Poverty trends have worsened. The number of poor people living on less than US$1.00 a day rose from 1,197 million in 1987 to 1,314 million in 1997, that is 20% of the world’s population. Another 25%(1.6 billion) of world’s population survive on between US$1 and $2 per day (UNHDR 1999). The richest fifth of the world’s people consume 86% of all goods and services, while the poorest fifth are left with just over 1%. The wealthiest fifth also enjoy 82% of the export trade and 68 % of Foreign Direct Investment, the bottom fifth, just over 1%(UNHDR 1999). When we talk about global market, global trade, global investment and global culture in the next decade, we want to see this statistic being reversed. I hope I don’t confuse you with the perspective of the other side of a coin. So I would like to end my presentation with another story.

An architect, a surgeon, and economist. The surgeon said, 'Look, we're the most important. God is a surgeon because the very first thing God did was to extract Eve from Adam's rib.'

The architect said, 'No, wait a minute, God is an architect. God made the world in seven days out of chaos.' 

The economist smiled, 'And who made the chaos?'

Thank you for the opportunity to share my view with you today, and I wish you the best of luck.

The West's Asleep is a traditional Irish Song written by Thomas Davis. The words are as follows:

The West's Asleep (Thomas Davis)

When all beside a vigil keep, The West's asleep, the West's asleep- Alas! and well may Erin weep, When Connaught lies in slumber deep. There lake and plain smile fair and free, 'Mid rocks-their guardian chivalry- Sing oh! let man learn liberty From crashing wind and lashing sea.

That chainless wave and lovely, land Freedom and Nationhood demand- Be sure, the great God never plann'd, For slumbering slaves, a home so grand. And, long, a brave and haughty race Honoured and sentinelled the place- Sing oh! not even their sons' disgrace Can quite destroy their glory's trace.

For often, in O'Connor's van, To triumph dash'd each Connaught clan- And fleet as deer the Normans ran Through Coirrsliabh Pass and Ard Rathain.* And later times saw deeds as brave; And glory guards Clanricarde's grave- Sing oh! they died their land to save, At Aughrim's slopes and Shannon's wave.

And if, when all a vigil keep, The West's; asleep, the West's asleep- Alas! and well may Erin weep, That Connaught lies in slumber deep. But-hark! -some voice like thunder spake: " The West's awake, the West's awake'- Sing oh! hurra! let England quake, We'll watch till death for Erins sake!"

This decision of the enlarged board of appeal of the EPO was subsequently overturned in the later decision G9/93. It is therefore of historical interest, rather than reflecting current legal practice. Under G1/84 it was permissible for a patent proprietor to oppose his own European patent (since patents can be opposed by "any person" - Art 99(1) EPC).

However this is no longer the case according to G9/93. A patent proprieter is explicitly barred from opposing his own patent. Such a procedure would have been useful for example to enable centralised post grant amendment of a European patent, at a lower cost than amendment of each nationally validated European patent.

[edit] Future legal developments

The present lack of a centralised procedure for the amendment of granted European patents is being addressed in the EPC 2000, which is due to come into force in December 2007.

Athletes for Hope is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization founded by 12 prominent athletes of exemplary character who share a deep commitment to philanthropy. The organization educates and encourages professional athletes about ways to get involved in the community, connects them with charitable organizations and events, and recognizes these efforts in order to inspire and pass the passion of philanthropy onto others.

1. History
In 2005, Andre Agassi, Lance Armstrong, Mia Hamm and the leaders of their charitable foundations began discussing the formation of an organization to support athletes who share their desire to help others. After eighteen months of work, they founded Athletes for Hope in 2006. In April 2007 all 12 Founding Athletes:Andre Agassi, Muhammad Ali, Lance Armstrong, Warrick Dunn, Jeff Gordon, Mia Hamm, Tony Hawk, Andrea Jaeger, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Mario Lemieux, Alonzo Mourning, and Cal Ripken, Jr publicly launched Athletes for Hope in an effort to inspire and help other athletes to get involved in philanthropy as well as inspire millions of non-athletes to volunteer and to support community and charitable organizations throughout the world. The 12 founding athletes have to-date raised more than half a billion dollars for charity and they founded Athletes for Hope as a way to connect thousands of athletes with businesses and individuals to support community and charitable causes.

2. Launch
In April 2007, Athletes for Hope was launched on live network television with an appearance on Good Morning America featuring eight of the 12 Founding Athletes and four additional segments on ESPN. With the Athletes for Hope launch as the centerpiece of a week about athlete philanthropy, Good Morning America also ran programs about Andre Agassi’s College Preparatory Academy in Las Vegas and Muhammad Ali’s Center in Louisville, Kentucky. Within the first few days following the launch, over 100 professional athletes and charities reached out to the organization to get involved.

3. Misson and Purpose
Athletes for Hope’s mission is to educate, encourage and assist athletes in their efforts to contribute to community and charitable causes, to increase public awareness of those efforts, and to inspire others to do the same.

Its purpose is three-fold: First, Athletes for Hope works to educate athletes about the opportunity to contribute to community and charitable causes. Athletes, with the proper information and tools, can make a tremendous positive impact on the charitable community. By connecting with professional athletes and teaching them about their philanthropic options, Athletes for Hope equips them with the tools to effectively give back to their community, educate their peers, and inspire others to support charitable causes.

Second, Athletes for Hope connects athletes with charities, corporations, and individuals to create a movement for positive change. Athletes for Hope believes that many athletes have strong philanthropic objectives, yet do not know how to identify and get involved with organizations that best suit those objectives; likewise, many charities do not know how to utilize an athlete's time efficiently to best serve their objectives. Athletes for Hope matches athletes' philanthropic goals with the needs of charities. Athletes for Hope also works with businesses that want enhance their philanthropic efforts by partnering with the professional athlete community. The organization helps corporations design and implement effective charitable activities and programs that involve athletes.

Finally, Athletes for Hope recognizes the hard work and contributions that professional athletes make in the charitable world and further increases public awareness of these efforts. There is an undeniable bond between athletes and their fans, and Athletes for Hope builds upon this connection to inspire millions of people to follow the lead of athletes to become a part of the philanthropic movement. Through recognition, Athletes for Hope celebrates the significant impact athletes can have on the lives of others, shows its gratitude for their dedication to making a difference, increases the visibility of the athletes, charities and businesses involved, and inspires others to become part of the philanthropic movement.

4. Passing the Passion
Athlete for Hope’s tagline “Pass the Passion” represents its 12 Founding Athletes’ desire to pass their passion for philanthropy onto others in the sports community. It is also a call to action to the general public to find their passion, get active in their local communities, and inspire others to do the same. Each of the Founding Athletes wears an AFH Tag, bearing the Athletes for Hope logo and tagline. Each AFH Tag represents support not only for all 12 Founding Athletes and the work they do, but also for philanthropy in general. The Tags do not represent one specific cause, but instead signify a commitment to philanthropy and the passion to create positive change in the world. These Tags can be purchased online at [[10]].

5. Corporate Partners
5.1. Stanford Financial Group

Copyrighted text removed. Powers ^T 17:26, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Athletes for Hope’s CEO, Ivan Blumberg, has stated that, “Stanford Financial is an ideal corporate partner for us because philanthropy is already such a fundamental part of their corporate culture. Stanford really understands the importance of giving back and doing good and has been working with us since the beginning. I have to commend them for seeing the vision of Athletes for Hope and providing funding to support our efforts.”

“We think what Athletes for Hope is doing is terrific,” said Suzanne Hamm, President of Stanford Foundation. “It represents a unique philanthropic model for engaging athletes and ordinary citizens in order to make a real difference in local communities across the United States. We’re glad to partner with this unique initiative and to be part of a movement that helps us all do well by doing good.”

5.2. Genworth Financial
Athletes for Hope announced in April that it will partner with Genworth Financial, a leading insurance holding company, serving the lifestyle protection, retirement income, investment and mortgage insurance needs of more than 15 million customers, and has operations in 24 countries, including the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and 17 other European countries.

Genworth Financial, and their charitable giving arm Genworth Foundation, have stated that they believe it takes just one to effect change in the world - one hammer, one nail, one phone call, one step. And by joining forces with Athletes for Hope, they can extend their philanthropic reach through one organization to make a difference in the lives of millions of people.

6. Website Athletes for Hope is online at [[11]]. On the site, both athletes and charitable organizations can register and join the network. Visitors can also share their own stories of inspiration, get involved by volunteering in their area, purchase Athletes for Hope Tags and merchandise, donate to the organization and sign up for the newsletter.

Matthew loughran was imprisoned on the 31st of July 2006 for money laundering the some of £300,000 (three hundred thousand pounds). He was raided while boarding a chartered aircraft at miami airport while on his way way to Zurich. It is believed that his plan was to deposit the illegally obtained funds in an off shore account.

People who previously were associated with Mr Loughran are in shock at his cunning ability to live dual lives. It is also believed that at the same time as conducting illegal business he was also a student at a London based sixth form college where he sat exams for A-levels in Media, Business and Art. A previous school friend of Mr Loughran, Ivan Borovich said "I had absolutely no idea of his actions or dealings." Later Ivan was arrested and detained in Peckham young offenders institution for Class A drug abuse and deadly assault on a police officer in a local Pizza Express. Mr Loughran is also believed to be involved with the Russian Mafia through a relationship with Anastasia Solovieva.

New reports from the Jackson and Davis detective agency found that he had already formulated the deal to purchase a villa in Marbella for £750,000. The origin of these funds is currently under investigation along with a series of inquiries relating to a bucket shop which he is claimed to have established. This is according to his previous business partner James Bunaince who is currently imprisoned in the Ji Jiang provence, China for fraud. His appeal is currently in discussion and the courts decision will be publicly disclaimed later this year.

He was released on the 25th of March 2007 after an appeal. It is now believed that due to a lack of substantial evidence there was no possibility to take the case further.

OC-TV is the official television channel for Ocean City High School in Ocean City, NJ USA. Founded in 2004, it's purpose is to inform and entertain. The most notable program regularly produced is "The Morning Wave", also branded as "TMW". It airs weekly and is rebroadcast to communities such as Upper Township (on UT-TV) & Ocean City (on Access 2 Ocean City). "TMW" was piloted on UT-TV for a brief stint in the late fall of 2006 until the early spring of 2007. The show features high production values coupled with an up-beat style of delivery while maintaining the standard news format. Students are responsible for all phases of production from concept to on air live delivery. Its technical crew members have worked on motion picture sets and gone on to expand their skills as young journalists/directors at universities and colleges throughout America.

Other endeavors the cast/crew have been tasked with include the production of "Mayor's Forum", "Access2OC", and state-wide public service announcements (PSAs) regarding traffic and pedestrian safety. The 30 second PSA spots have aired in rest stops along major routes and interstate roads throughout NJ, on local network television, and cable television (as well as local access/gov't access channels). OC-TV has a partnership with the SJTSA (Southern New Jersey Traffic Safety Alliance) for such PSA work. In 2006, the production students of OC-TV at OCHS were featured on Comcast NewsMakers, a television round-table discussion style program (on CN8).

Behind the creation of OC-TV and its members are its full-time professional staff. The students are led by executive producer & instructor Greg Wheeldon (a former Warner Bros. animator who came to OC-TV with extensive background & experience in the film/education industries) and Steven Trauger (television facility engineer and broadcast designer whose production credits range the gamut from broadcast & network television to regional & campaign advertising).
