Handels Securities and DayDra Holdings Group Announce Partnership to Form Saber Ultra Precision Ammunition

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Handels Securities and DayDra Holdings Group announced today a partnership to form Saber Ultra Precision Ammunition (SUPA) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Saber Ultra Precision Ammunition will introduce the highest-quality ammunition in the industry, at high production levels, and at relatively low costs. Using a new purpose-built automated manufacturing and inspection facility, proprietary advanced technology high-speed robotic inspection systems, rigorous quality standards, and the highest-quality components, SUPA will straddle both precision and standard supply markets. The new multi-million dollar facility will have a high production capacity to complete government contracts as well as anticipated consumer demand.

“We have been working closely with the state of Nevada Governor’s Office as well as the Nevada Development Authority (NDA) in 2012. Saber Ultra Precision Ammunition will create more than 500 jobs over the next 3 years and provide veterans in particular with important career opportunities starting in 2013.”

A study of the projected economic result of SUPA’s business activities, conducted by Nevada Governor Sandoval's office, values SUPA’s potential in excess of $165 million in economic stimulation to state and local communities. SUPA is part of a Nevada state program of economic diversification.
SUPA will incorporate sophisticated tactical training facilities and a shooting range to host various state and federal law enforcement training exercises and programs, as well as private and corporate tactical training programs. SUPA will largely be comprised of former military personnel. Lord Neil B. Gibson of Handels Securities explained, “We have been working closely with the state of Nevada Governor’s Office as well as the Nevada Development Authority (NDA) in 2012. Saber Ultra Precision Ammunition will create more than 500 jobs over the next 3 years and provide veterans in particular with important career opportunities starting in 2013.”
Philip Pritchard, Chairman of DayDra Holdings Group, added, “We are cooperating with the ‘Hiring Our Heroes’ program of the United States Department of Commerce, as well as the HirePatriots.com organization, in preparation of hiring US Veterans with the skills SUPA will need. We’re looking forward to offering our people outstanding career growth opportunities.”
Saber Ultra Precision Ammunition is one of several new partnerships between Handels Securities and the DayDra Holdings Group that will offer U.S. Veterans outstanding career opportunities.

Lord Neil Gibson Asks, Has Nevada gone blue?

Rest easy, Nevada. We’re still a battleground state.
At least so say political operatives on both sides of the aisle.
Admittedly, they may have a bit of a vested interest in saying so. Presidential battleground status opens the spigot to tens of millions of advertising dollars.
By the last count compiled by The Washington Post, $54 million was spent on Nevada airwaves to influence the presidential election here this year — that’s about $53 per vote cast here.
But some are questioning whether Tuesday’s results support the claim that Nevada’s six electoral votes are worth fighting over anymore.
President Barack Obama last week won Nevada convincingly for the second time. In fact, his margins in 2008 and 2012 far exceeded former President George W. Bush’s Nevada margins in 2000 and 2004.
Democrats have 90,000 more registered voters than Republicans. They have a well-financed party structure in place — an organization noticeably absent on the Republican side. And they have control of the state Legislature.
Some might say that doesn’t sound like the metrics of a true swing state.
Indeed, it’s starting to sound a lot like New Mexico — previously a battleground state before turning convincingly blue beginning about four years ago and disappearing from the presidential campaign radar screen.
Is Nevada in danger of becoming the dreaded flyover state that the presidential contenders pass by in between campaign stops in Colorado and fundraising stops in California?
Republicans, with a tinge of apprehension in their voices, say: Not yet.
“This is the bluest purple state in the country,” said Mac Abrams, U.S. Sen. Dean Heller’s campaign manager. “But we’re still a purple state.”
Perhaps Heller’s victory is an indication of that. The Republican barely defeated Democrat Shelley Berkley, whose campaign was hamstrung from the beginning by a House ethics investigation.
But Republicans also point to the fact that Nevada’s most popular politician, Gov. Brian Sandoval, is a Republican. The party represents half of Nevada’s congressional delegation. And although the GOP narrowly lost an attempted takeover of the state Senate, the number of voters statewide backing a Republican candidate for the Legislature almost equaled the number of voters backing a Democratic candidate.
“Yes, we’re still a battleground state,” Republican strategist Robert Uithoven said. “However, we need to do significant work within the Republican Party to keep it a battleground state.”
And that’s where the argument becomes more than just how much battleground status increases the bottom lines for television station owners.
If Republican presidential contenders cede Nevada, they’re pretty much handing it over to the Democrats. And that’s not necessarily good for Republican candidates down ticket.
“At this point, it’s the Republicans' responsibility to keep us a battleground state,” Uithoven reiterated.
Democrats aren’t about to take Nevada for granted, either.
“Clearly it’s more Democratic than it used to be,” one Democratic operative said. “I think you can call it a Democratic-leaning state, but I personally feel less confident about calling it a solidly blue state.
“I don’t think we’re there yet. And Democrats have to be careful not to go down the same flawed path Nevada Republicans went down.”
Just a decade ago, Republicans were the powerful party in Nevada. Democrats had no party structure to rely on, held only one statewide office and seemed unable to wrest control of the state Senate away from the Republicans.
The story is a cautionary indication that the political balance of power in Nevada can easily execute an about-face.
So will Nevada voters have the same level of television ads, robo-calls and door knocks to complain about again in four years?
“I think they will,” the Democratic operative said. “If either side takes Nevada for granted, I think they do it at their own peril.”

US election 2012: Mitt Romney must carry Colorado to win the presidency

Glamorous Las Vegas may not seem like the place where American politics would be a hot issue, but beyond the historic strip of five-star luxury resorts high unemployment, rampant home foreclosures, and economic hardship have made it a battleground state – where President Barack Obama and Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney are fighting hard for the six electoral votes that could secure a win for either candidate.

The latest polls out of Nevada are inconclusive – some showing Mr Obama in a slight lead, others showing the duo in a dead heat. So while Nevada can seem overshadowed by the battleground eastern states – like Ohio and Florida – it is no less a critical win for either candidate.

Colorado in the Rockies was considered to be a Republican stronghold until President Barack Obama won its nine electoral votes in 2008.

Mitt Romney "needs to be carrying Colorado" to have any chance of winning the White House, Dr Boys said.

Clark Kent tipped to become blogger as Superman quits the day job

When you’re faster than a speeding bullet and more powerful than a locomotive, it’s hard to stay quiet when your boss starts complaining. And after at least 40 years at the Daily Planet, Superman’s alter ego Clark Kent has finally had enough.

Call of duty: Superman will have more time to foil the forces of evil after going freelance (Picture: DC Comics)

The latest issue of the superhero’s comic series sees him resign – after editor Perry White berates him for not writing enough Superman stories.
‘News should be about news,’ Kent rants.
He’s welcome at Metro to work on our hard-hitting page three stories about (ahem) human scarecrows, talking whales and singing mice.
But the man behind the new episode – out today in print and online – thinks he’ll more likely start his own blog.
‘Superman is arguably the most powerful person on the planet,’ writer Scott Lobdell said.
‘How long can he sit at his desk with someone breathing down his neck?’

Panama leader tells Germany he wants to adopt euro

BERLIN (Reuters) - Panama would like to introduce the euro as legal tender alongside the U.S. dollar, President Ricardo Martinelli told German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday during a visit to Europe.

"In Panama the currency in free circulation is the American dollar and I told the chancellor we are looking for ways for the euro to become another currency of legal circulation and to be accepted in the Panamanian market," President Ricardo Martinelli told a joint news conference with Merkel in Berlin.

Martinelli provided no details about the switch but he expressed "full confidence" in the German and European economies and said he expected the euro zone debt crisis would soon pass.

Seventeen of the European Union's 27 member states are in the euro zone but euros are also in circulation in a number of non-EU countries, including Kosovo and Montenegro in the Balkans as well as tiny Monaco and Andorra, and in overseas territories.

Panama's dollarized economy - almost 10,000 kilometres from mainland Europe - is one of the fastest growing in Latin America, expanding 10.6 percent last year with help from heavy infrastructure spending including the expansion of the Panama Canal.

Financial markets' fears of a possible meltdown of the common currency have eased since the European Central Bank said it was ready to buy unlimited quantities of sovereign debt to reduce borrowing costs of vulnerable countries such as Spain.

But Merkel, head of the currency bloc's largest economy, has said Europe needs to persevere with tough austerity measures and move towards closer banking, fiscal and political union in order to secure the euro's future.

Bringing Relief to Iraq

Lord Neil Gibson:

In our highly politicized age, it’s difficult to talk about Iraq in bipartisan terms. Everyone has strong feelings about the state of affairs in that country, and of the United States’ involvement in it, especially. What many of us are inclined to say is that, regardless of the strategy and political maneuvering that went into the military endeavors in that country, the Iraq we see before us today is one that desperately needs to be rebuilt—rebuilt into a peaceful and prosperous nation. But of course, the ravages of war and the nature of politics being what they are, this is easier said than done. It takes real leadership, and clear ideas, to enact positive change in that nation.
And these, of course, are a couple of characteristics that Lord Neil Benjamin Gibson has in great abundance. Indeed, we have already spoken at some length about the different ways in which this man has brought about positive change in nations across the world, and how he has done so through a combination of diplomacy, practicality, and alliances with both heads of state and corporate giants. That’s certainly the way we could view his collaborations with the royal family in Lesotho, or even his partnership with Firestone in bringing relief to West Africa. And that’s also the way we can view Lord Neil Benjamin Gibson’sinvolvement in Iraq.
A big part of Lord Neil Benjamin Gibson’s humanitarian work is centered on rebuilding economic infrastructures in crumbling nations, and Iraq certainly fits that bill. But how can one man rebuild the entire financial system of a nation in chaos? The answer, of course, is through an ingenious partnership with a major financial investment firm, specifically Wontert Capital AG, whose involvement in Iraq is critical to the success of Lord Neil Benjamin Gibson’s endeavors.
And these allies are not just rebuilding the financial system. No, they are also building new hospitals in areas of the nation that desperately need them, offering further evidence of just the kind of positive change a man like Lord Neil Benjamin Gibson can bring to a needy country!

‘Queen of Versailles’ serves as an indictment of years of false prosperity

Along with a lot of misery, the 2008 financial crisis and the resulting Great Recession have produced excellent films, both dramatic and documentary. In the former category, “Margin Call” took us inside a failing Wall Street firm that, though fictionalized, was clearly based on the events of 2008, exposing us to the anguish and ignorance of the collapse. “Inside Job” was an investigative documentary into the causes of the crisis.
But the best film yet may be “Queen of Versailles,” a documentary made by the celebrated photographer Lauren Greenfield about a family building the largest house in America before it all collapses — figuratively, if not quite literally — under the weight of folly. Real estate speculators and subprime lenders and borrowers in Southern Nevada played a more-than-minor role in causing the financial crisis, so it’s fitting that a significant part of the film takes place in Las Vegas, specifically in the troubled Westgate time share project adjacent to Planet Hollywood. The film is currently playing at the Suncoast.
The film begins in 2007, as David and Jackie Siegel have begun construction on an Orlando house said to be modeled after Versailles, which ordinarily might serve as a metaphor for waste and arrogance, but not so in this case. They’ve made hundreds of millions in the time share business, and the Westgate Tower in Las Vegas is a crown jewel.
As much as we laugh a bit at their reality show-style hijinks — Jackie is at an airport Hertz counter and seems baffled that she won’t have her own driver — it’s hard not to like them. They come from modest upbringings, and David is mostly sheepish about his success while Jackie is unpretentious and a loving, if not entirely attentive, mother of seven children.
David concedes that his middle-class time share customers rely on financing, which means he relies on cheap and easy credit from the banks to keep his business growing and thriving.
Once the credit markets freeze in the fall of 2008, the story takes a sudden turn because Westgate customers can no longer get financing. Suddenly, we’re in the Tom Wolfe novel, “Man in Full,” when the rich commercial developer who is overextended is getting a “workout” from the banks, squeezing him for everything he worked a lifetime to build.
David Siegel fights the banks to keep them from seizing the Westgate. Construction on the faux Versailles stops. Its half-finished skeleton, familiar to anyone who drives around here and sees similarly unfinished buildings, is a crass symbol of economic collapse. The kids are sent to public schools. The huge household staff is trimmed. If we can’t exactly feel sorry for them, we can see ourselves in them, largely because of the arresting and largely sympathetic portrait painted by Greenfield. (David apparently disagrees with that assessment — he’s suing Greenfield.)
Still, intentionally or not, the movie for me serves as an indictment of those years of false prosperity, when everyone had a house or a time share or a time share building he couldn’t afford, when the financing was cheap and easy, and when all was too good to be true.
