The Jubilee Scholarship Malvern College Switzerland Terms and Conditions At Malvern College Switzerland, scholarships are highly prized and are awarded in recognition of proven talent or exceptional potential. This June 2022, to mark the very special occasion of Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Malvern College Switzerland is proud to announce the Jubilee Scholarship. Since ascending the throne 70 years ago, Queen Elizabeth II has personified all the qualities we have come to respect and admire as being typical of everything it means to be British. From the tender young age of 25, Queen Elizabeth II has showed maturity, character, determination and commitment of the highest order. She famously addressed the nation via radio saying, “I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and service of our great imperial family to which we all belong”. As we now look back upon the last 70 years we can say without hesitate that Queen Elizabeth II has been true to her words. As The First British-Branded School in Switzerland, the Malvern College Switzerland community takes pride in belonging to the great British family referred to in Her Majesty The Queen’s address to the nation. We encourage all members of our community to embrace and adhere to the Malvern principles of humility, self-awareness, open-mindedness, independence, ambition, risk-taking, integrity, curiosity, collaboration, kindness and resilience. Malvern College Switzerland combines the very best of a long established tradition of academic excellence with the intellectual curiosity to pursue new innovations. We encourage considered risk-taking supported by self-awareness and resilience, we inspire our pupils to be curious, to collaborate with others, to be open-minded, to be ambitious and at the same time to display kindness, integrity and humility. With this in mind, we are delighted to launch the Jubilee Scholarship. Jubilee Scholars will become ambassadors of the Malvern Qualities. By personifying the Malvern qualities, our Jubilee Scholars will help to ensure that all members of our MCS community flourish in life and contribute positively to the world around them. We believe that the true purpose of education is the cultivation of inner virtues, life skills and character strengths that equip our young people with the confidence and direction to pursue meaningful and successful lives. Successful recipients of the Jubilee Scholarship will receive fee remission of CHF 7’000 per annum during their time at Malvern College Switzerland. In return, we will ask our Jubilee Scholarship to commit to acting as special ambassadors for our Malvern qualities. We will expect them to promote the qualities amongst their peers and lead by example as they personify these qualities in their day-to-day lives.Application process Candidates should select six of the Malvern qualities (humility, self-awareness, open-mindedness, independence, ambition, risk-taking, integrity, curiosity, collaboration, kindness, resilience) and give examples (in writing) of ways in which they will promote these qualities within the MCS community and provide examples of ways in which they have displayed these qualities to date. The proposal should be submitted in writing (preferably typed) by email to email@example.com by June 30th (deadline for 2022 entry; or September 2023 entry). Candidates will also undertake an interview with a senior member of staff at MCS. This will be informed by the written proposal. Successful completion of our MCS entrance assessments (comprising online papers in Maths and English) will also be required and can be arranged at any stage during the Jubilee Scholarship application.Scholarship offers We will aim to make our decisions within two weeks of the application submission and will then offer successful candidates a place at MCS commencing September 2022/23. You will be sent an offer letter including an Acceptance of a Place Form which needs to be completed and returned by two weeks after reception of your offer letter along with the deposit of CHF 5’000.- to secure the place at MCS and the Jubilee Scholarship.

In our ongoing tour of 2023’s top college football programs, today we’ll delve into another coaching staff: the University of Colorado, under the guidance of first-season coach Deion Sanders. This is the latest outing in a lineup that’s previously featured Charlotte, Western Michigan, Liberty, and USF. The key to a successful college football coaching staff isn’t an exact science. A range of factors go into the decision-making process, from past relationships with potential staffers, the ability to recruit top prospects, wealth of experience, learning from respected coaches in the field, and more. And, it is crucial for all these ingredients to cohesively fit within the salary budget. The Roster Overhaul Sanders and his Colorado coaching team wasted no time morphing the squad to their image, with more than 70 players leaving the fold in what was decreed by some as controversial. Regardless, the use of the transfer portal ensured those departing were swiftly replaced by enthusiastic new Buffs, primed to buy into Sanders’ vision. The Coordinator Recap Several members of Sanders’ Jackson State staff followed him to Boulder, two notable additions being Charles Kelly and Sean Lewis. Kelly, returning to defensive play-calling duties, was the associate defensive coordinator and safeties coach under Nick Saban at Alabama. He also brings coordinating experience from Georgia Tech, Florida State, special teams’ coordination experience in Tallahassee and Tennessee. Sean Lewis, on the other hand, vacated the head coaching position at Kent State to join Sanders. Lewis managed to turnaround Kent State’s program, leading them to two bowl games and a MAC East title in 2021. Prior to that, he was a crucial part of Dino Babers’ coaching family at Bowling Green and Syracuse. The Most Significant Hire Without belittling the significance of Lewis and Kelly’s appointments, Sal Sunseri’s acquisition is just as noteworthy. Sunseri has been a defensive coach at several SEC schools, including Alabama and Florida, and has even coordinated an SEC defense at Tennessee. He too joined from the Alabama staff, where his role was special assistant to the head coach. The Biggest Challenge Ahead The forthcoming season the Colorado defense will be under scrutiny, facing off against offensive masterminds like Lincoln Riley and Chip Kelly. This will be an essential test before they migrate to the Big Ten in 2024. To succeed in this arena, Sanders’s defensive panel will need to find ways to win against offensive-minded head coaches and their creative playbooks.

Supplies Extremely Limited - In Stock and ready to Ship! Excellent 30-cal ammo can and links are a Bonus! A word about our 5.56x45mm NATO and 7.62x51mm NATO Spec ammunition – FightLite® Industries generally designs its products around NATO Spec ammunition and more specifically, ammunition produced at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant which is the “gold standard” for military grade ammunition. Lake City is a government-owned, contractor-operated (GOCO) ammunition production plant in Independence, MO that produces most of the small arms ammunition used by US Armed Forces and warfighters. Established in 1941, Lake City has been operated by ATK (which was recently acquired by Northrop Grumman) since 2001 but will transition to Olin Winchester as its operator on October 1, 2020. Olin Winchester makes excellent products and it is our expectation that they will continue Lake City’s reputation for “gold standard” military grade ammunition; but what we don’t know is what Lake City ammunition availability may (or may not) be from Olin Winchester for civilian sales. So why do we gravitate toward NATO Spec ammunition when there are many other options and, in some cases, more accurate ammunition being produced or imported by civilian companies? To sum it up in three words: consistency, durability and reliability. NATO Spec ammunition usually has thicker case wall and base, which is less prone to damage and case blowout when used in chambers designed for automatic fire. Non-corrosive boxer primers are sealed against moisture intrusion and are staked into the primer pocket which prevents primer blowouts. Projectiles are sealed in the case to prevent moisture intrusion and the case mouth is crimped into the cannelure to prevent bullet setback under recoil loading; which when it occurs can drive case and chamber pressures up to extremely high and dangerous levels for the firearm and the operator. The Lake City propellants are non-corrosive and burn rates are also very consistent between production lots, as are the case sizing and case annealing processes. All of this translates to greater reliability with NATO Spec ammunition, because many civilian producers skip some of the listed production steps to keep their product costs down. Lake City ammunition spent cartridge casings are reloadable with common boxer primers for those who reload ammunition. NOTICE: This product is currently restricted for sale to, or possession by “individuals” in the States of Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Washington D.C., and may also be restricted in other jurisdictions.

It may come as a surprise, but I do have a good reason for making this offer. As you have probably already guessed, I can’t afford to continue to run our martial arts video production business by giving away all of our materials and best stuff for just $1. My sincere hope is you’ll love what you see and choose to stay. If you do, GREAT! If not, that’s ok, too. Just cancel before the trial days are up, and you’ll never be charged. But if you do love it (and I think you will), you’ll automatically be renewed at our charter member rate of just $47 a month. A paltry sum… ...especially when compared to how much your world will be changed by knowing more about these arts you love. In fact, I’ll make you a deal... If you don’t find the Fight Science Training Library the most helpful martial arts resource you’ve ever seen, then just send us an email and we’ll refund your money. Again, that’s how confident I am in what you’re about to have. So click the Enroll button below, and let’s get started...

Ms. D made it clear to us during our initial meetings that her greatest concern was avoiding the loss of her licence. While our greater goal was to help Ms. D avoid criminal sanctions at all, we aligned our focus on obtaining an outcome that did not result in the loss of Ms. D’s licence. We began supporting Mr. M not after his initial charge of assault, but after his failure to comply charge. He had been charged with assault in the domestic context after a small argument with his girlfriend, during which she alleged he shoved her. He was released on a promise to appear before the court, and one of the conditions of the release was to avoid contact with the complainant. If Ms. C plead guilty to Careless Driving, a Highway Traffic Act offence that did not included a criminal record, and agreed to pay a reduced fine and adhere to certain driving conditions, they would drop the Over 80 charge. An officer of the Belleville police department received the call just after 9:00 p.m. A citizen had phoned Dispatch to report a red pickup track driving erratically. Our client was a working professional. Charges were withdrawn and the client was able to avoid a criminal record that would have adversely affected her job. With an Over 80 charge, our client was able to avoid a criminal record and losing his driver’s licence as a result of cross-examination. CASE STUDY: Conviction appeal – Failing to comply with the regulations of the Occupational Health and Safety Act We successfully appealed our client’s conviction. This was a novel issue that had not previously been decided and was reported in a reputable law journal. In this case, the Crown agreed that our client’s rights had been breached by police, and the file was resolved with a creative plea. Our client, a young first time offender with hopes of attending university and starting a career, was able to avoid a criminal record as well as implications for his driver’s license.

Active way to School programme Towards active and sustainable ways of getting to school Exercise on the way to school can play a considerable role in children and young people’s physical activity, fitness and health. By walking or cycling a 3-kilometre round trip to school, it is possible to achieve 40–60% of the recommended daily amount of moderate-intensity physical activity. Physical activity on the way to school is also considered to have social, economic and environmental benefits. A physically active and sustainable way of getting to school reduces the carbon footprint effectively. Active way to School programme provides information, solutions and cooperation for the planning and implementation of more sustainable and active ways of getting to school. The target group of the programme consists of schools, pupils, guardians, municipalities, decision-makers and organisations. The objectives of the Active way to School programme are: More active and sustainable physical activity on the way to school - Every pupil has the opportunity to get active and sustainable exercise on at least part of their way to school. - Reducing the use of cars when the journey to school is 0–5 kilometres and removing possible restrictions on cycling to school. Better traffic safety on the way to school - Every pupil has the opportunity to get to school safely. - Improving traffic safety and reducing the number of accidents on the routes to school and in the school yard. Enhancing an active and sustainable physical activity culture in schools and teaching. - Supporting the competence and activities of schools, municipalities and homes. - Engaging pupils and guardians. Support for strategies and operating models for active and sustainable ways to of getting to school. - Supporting the decision-making related to active and sustainable ways of getting to school. - Increasing research information on physical activity on the way to school and during the school day, monitoring it and increasing its effectiveness. - Increasing cross-administrative cooperation between different actors and building networked cooperation. Fiksusti kouluun is a joint programme of LIKES Research Centre for Physical Activity and Health and the Network of Finnish Cycling Municipalities (Pyöräilykuntien verkosto) to promote physical activity on the way to school. It works in cooperation with the Schools on the Move programme, LIKES and the Network of Finnish Cycling Municipalities have worked jointly to increase physical activity on the way to school since 2018. The Fiksusti kouluun (Active way to School) programme is funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom. The programme offers information and advice for the planning and implementation of smarter ways of getting to school.

“No more!” That’s what I have to say when some young filmmaker begins the story of how their horror film is “old school” in the way of “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” or the original “Friday the 13th.” According to them, this film will set the record straight on how horror films are supposed to be. It’s a pleasant thought, but then again, most of these films wind up ripping off the films they’re trying to pay homage to with filmmaking skills that pale in comparison to say a Tobe Hooper or Wes Craven back in the day. I would like to say that it’s the thought that counts, but…nuh-uh. Eli Roth is another of these filmmakers whose first feature, about a group of college kids who find themselves ravaged by a flesh eating disease upon their vacationing at a cabin out in the middle of nowhere, is supposed to pay respect to the horror masters of yesteryear. And now that I’ve seen the film, I’ll be goddamned – THE F*****G GUY GOT IT RIGHT. Gory, scary, smart and funny, this is definitely one of the best horror films I’ve seen in years. While it plays kinda like “Texas Chainsaw,” it also comes with plenty of its own ingredients, so that this is in no way a rip-off, but a successful tribute of sorts and the meaty “Texas Chainsaw” flavoring is to die for. “Cabin Fever” will be released to theaters later this year. Once it does, the name Eli Roth will be nestled in the hearts of gorehounds and horror freaks everywhere. This is the real s**t.

One of the joys of being a part of Film Threat is seeing it grow and change, year in and year out. From Back Talk to video podcasts to blogs, Film Threat has been anything but stagnant. The improvements continue, with the announcement of mobile-friendly Film Threat, a certain unreal review milestone and more. MOBILE-FRIENDLY FILM THREAT That’s right, wonderful readers of Film Threat, we’ve got a mobile-friendly site just for you and your cellphone. Most cellphones will automatically be re-directed to the mobile-friendly layout but, if not, you can always just use the URL. As you can imagine, it’s a much simpler look (fewer graphics, text-intensive, etc), but for quick navigation while out and about, it’s dead-on. Need to search for an old review, headline or story? Simple, expand the ‘About’ link at the top of the mobile page and the search field is there for you in all its glory. WII-FRIENDLY FILM THREAT One of the awesome side perks of the site being mobile-friendly is that it also wound up being perfectly Nintendo Wii-friendly as well. What does this mean? Simply, if you’ve got a Nintendo Wii and you’re browsing the internet with it, you can get all your movie news and reviews straight from us with a simple interface. Tell your Wii-loving friends and family, Film Threat is Wii-friendly at http://wii.filmthreat.com! MOVIE REVIEW MILESTONE Two weekends ago, Film Threat hit a movie review milestone by posting its 10,000th review. Now, forget for a second that the 10,000th film reviewed on Film Threat was “Delta Farce” (proof of both our dedication and the sheer perils of our job) and think about what that number means: since Film Threat made the transition from magazine to website in 1996, it has run 10,000 reviews. To break it down further, FT is averaging about 909 reviews a year, or about 2 features and a short per day (that’s my interpretation of about 2.49 films/day). If that number seems small to you, think of it this way: on top of feature stories, interviews, videos, blogging, festival coverage and film news coverage, we’re also seeing at least 2 films a day EVERY DAY! Even more important than the quantity of the reviews is the quality of the writing and the type of films we’re reviewing. For every “Shrek the Third,” there’s a “Utopian Society,”, “Why Must I Be a Zombie in Love?” or “Mr. Reaper’s Very Bad Morning.” We at Film Threat care about the true independent film, and we champion great films period, whether they’re a $10 indie shot on an old VHS camcorder or a multimillion dollar mainstream film. If you’re a filmmaker and you’ve got a film you want reviewed, send it on! We’re ready and waiting, we have a daily quota to reach, afterall. FILM THREAT REVIEWS RSS FEED I know how hard it is to keep up with all your favorite sites, and I’m also one who subscribes to the “homepage overloaded with rss feeds” mentality. There’s few things as nice as loading the browser in the morning and having all the film, sports and world news I’m interested in waiting for me on one page. To that end, I’d like to assist all you other rss-loving media junkies out there by offering up the latest rss feed from Film Threat, Film Threat Reviews. Simply, the most up-to-date listing of the last 15 reviews on the site for you to peruse daily, anywhere you’ve got a feedreader. For you filmmakers wondering if your film has been reviewed (I know, I know, we’re sorry), monitoring the feed is pretty simple. See the title of the film, a brief teaser of the review and then, if you’re so inclined, click-on for the full review here on at Film Threat. Sound good? Here’s the links to all our current RSS feeds: CONTINUED EXPANSION AND TESTING This update concludes with promises and admissions. We at Film Threat promise more advances and improvements over the Summer and Fall (we never sleep, it seems) and I’m pretty psyched with what we’ll be rolling out. However, I do need to admit to being human, and let you know that as we announce these tweaks and changes to the site, there’s likely going to be a bug or two that you, the reader, will come across. To that end, drop us an email or post in Back Talk to let us know how we can improve things, and we’ll get on it. If this story seems like I’m bragging, well, I am. I’m proud of Film Threat, where it is going, where it has come from, and you should be too. For you, the reader, are a part of this as well. You want passionate film coverage, and we’re here to give you what you want! Don’t ever change… – Mark Bell, Editor-in-Joy

Lehigh University is implementing the use of the Electronic Personnel Action Form, more commonly known as EPAF. Rollout of the EPAF is happening during the 2023-2024 academic year. The EPAF rollout is not an “All or Nothing” implementation. Lehigh can use EPAFs instead of legacy processes or in parallel with legacy processes until the new process becomes routine. Because not all colleges and stems follow the same procedures, there may be some need for adjustments or modifications as we work through the EPAF rollout. A key component of this process improvement initiative is consistency across Lehigh departments. The EPAF allows our decentralized departments to examine current processes and learn best practices from one another. Thus, the EPAF was piloted with less complex cases in the Fall 2023 semester, with a complete rollout taking place during the Spring 2024 semester. EPAF is currently used to hire new staff. Eventually, use of EPAF will expand into other areas. It is our expectation that the EPAF process will simplify many administrative tasks so that business managers can efficiently and effectively manage their staff hiring processes . The EPAF replaces the paper forms PAN and PAF, which will soon be phased out for new staff hires. A key benefit of the EPAF is that you can attach other hiring documents to the EPAF. For example, you will be able to attach the offer letter. Other documents that need to reach payroll as a part of the new hire process can also be attached to the EPAF. General EPAF Questions An EPAF allows personnel actions to be created and approved electronically through Banner Self Service, speeding up the process by eliminating paper and removing redundancies. The EPAF mitigates the risk of human error as information is digitally transferred through the approval queues and ultimately transferred directly into Banner. The EPAF allows the Originator to track the progress of his/her EPAF throughout the entire process. The Originator creates an EPAF in Banner Self-Service 9 from the Employee Dashboard. One or more Approvers reviews and actions the EPAF in Banner Self-Service. Payroll Applies the approved EPAF directly into Banner. A Proxy can be assigned by the Approver to do their work for them while they are absent. The Originator is the person who creates an EPAF. This can be the hiring manager or a departmental business manager. This is typically the individual who would have submitted legacy versions of the paper PAF. An Approver is a person who carefully reviews an EPAF, and either approves, disapproves, or returns the EPAF to the Originator for correction. This is the person who would have signed off on the paper PAF as the financial manager who approves the use of funds from the applicable index. An EPAF must have at least one Approver (a mandatory approval level), but it will often have more than one. Examples of approval levels include the Department Head, the Dean’s Office, and ORSP if necessary. If there are multiple indexes with different financial managers, all of them would need to be included as Approvers. If a department requires more than one approval level on a given EPAF, the originator can add additional approval levels on any EPAF he/she creates. An Applier is a person who saves (applies) the information from an approved EPAF transaction into Banner. Each EPAF must have an Applier (this is another mandatory approval level). Approve – A person in the approval queue with a required action of “approve” reviews the EPAF for correctness before approving it. If there are multiple approvers for an EPAF, the EPAF will be routed to each of them, in order, based on their approval levels. FYI – A person in the approval queue with an action of “FYI” will be able to see that an EPAF is in process. This individual can view the EPAF but cannot approve or deny it. The flow of the EPAF is not dependent on any action by this person. Apply – Payroll applies the EPAF transaction information to Banner. This completes the EPAF. Only Approvers and Appliers can set up proxies to handle their EPAF duties while they are absent. Once you have been identified and set up as an Originator or someone in an Approval Level (i.e., available to be added to the Routing Queue), you can access the EPAF menu under “My Actions” in the Employee Dashboard through Banner Self-Service 9. Questions Frequently asked by EPAF ORIGINATORS Yes. A department can have more than one Originator. However, an EPAF can only be edited / corrected by the Originator who created it. No. An Originator cannot designate a Proxy. Another Originator in the department would need to create a new EPAF if the issue cannot wait. If there is no one else to create a new EPAF, contact Human Resources for assistance. Refer to the "Available EPAFs" appendix (not yet completed) Effective Date: The date the transaction will take effect in Banner. This will usually be a payroll date as noted on the payroll calendars. Personnel Date: The date the action actually took effect. This will generally match the effective date. Base Job Begin Date: The first date that an employee was ever placed in a specific position. If you are creating an EPAF for a rehire, the begin date should not change from when the employee was first hired into this position. Yes. You always need to save an EPAF after you have made changes. Once you submit the EPAF it will be routed for approval. You need to save your EPAF before you can submit it. You will receive a message at the top of the EPAF screen telling you that your save or submit was successful. If you receive an error message, you will need to resolve before you can save or submit. Use the Originator Summary screen to check the status of your EPAF. If the EPAF has already been submitted, it will appear under the “History” tab. Waiting means that the EPAF has not been successfully submitted. Locate the EPAF in the Originator Summary and view the error messages, if there are any. Click “Update” if necessary and then save and submit the EPAF. Warning messages are informational only. They will not prevent a transaction from being submitted, approved, and applied to Banner. Yes. Error messages will prevent an EPAF from being saved or submitted successfully. If you have read the error messages carefully, reviewed your EPAF, and still can’t resolve the problem, contact one of the following for assistance: - Please direct questions about the contents of the EPAF to Human Resources or Payroll. - Direct technical questions to LTS Enterprise Systems by submitting a Jira ticket. - You will get an error message about Routing Queues if you leave a line blank. If there is a line that you don’t need, such as the ORSP approval, please click the trash can to remove the line. That should also remove the error message. No. The position number is unique to each entry and cannot be changed after the transaction has been saved. You will have to delete or void your current EPAF and create a new EPAF. An EPAF that has been voided will remain in the Originator Summary. This selection is useful if you would like to keep a copy for future reference. Once an EPAF has been deleted, it will no longer appear in the Originator Summary. Be careful! There is no prompt to confirm that you actually want something deleted. If you have saved (but not submitted) the EPAF, you can access it from your Originator Summary and make your changes. If you have submitted the EPAF and it does not yet have a transaction status of “Approved,” you can call the next approver in line and have them return it to you for correction. If the EPAF has a transaction status of “Approved,” it has been approved, but it has not yet been applied to Banner. Call HR so that the EPAF can be returned to you for correction If the EPAF has a transaction status of “Apply” but has not been applied to Banner, please alert payroll. The originator may need to take action to void/cancel. The Originator and payroll will work together to determine the best course of action. If the EPAF has a transaction status of “Completed,” it has been applied to Banner. You should: - Call HR to delete the transaction (in which case you would want to “cancel” it from your Originator Summary) and create a new EPAF, or - Submit a corrected EPAF to override the incorrect one. Additional approval levels, as well as specific people, can be set up to automatically default by setting up a Default Routing Queue. A Default Routing Queue is specific to a type of EPAF, so if you use 4 types of EPAFs, you will probably want to set up a Default Routing Queue for each type. The Default Routing Queue can be accessed from the Originator Summary screen. You can choose an approval level, a person, and the required action for that person. All people in the Routing Queue must be defined in an Approval Level. If the person you need to choose is not available, please contact LTS Enterprise Systems using a JIRA ticket. You can contact LTS enterprise systems to return the EPAF to you. You will be able to update the EPAF and change the routing queue of the EPAF so that it routes to a different Approver. You must ensure that the proxy Approver has authority to assume that responsibility. - Waiting: The ePAF has not been submitted and needs to be updated and submitted or deleted. - Pending: The ePAF has been submitted but has not yet been fully approved. - Disapproved: The ePAF cannot move forward. - Voided: The ePAF has been removed from all approval queues and will remain in the - originator’s history. - Returned for Correction: The ePAF must be corrected and resubmitted. - Approved: The ePAF has been fully approved but not yet applied by Payroll. - Completed: The ePAF has been fully approved and applied by Payroll. Questions Frequently asked by EPAF APPROVERS It is understood that not all approvers will have the knowledge to approve all fields on the EPAF. For example, a PI wouldn’t necessarily know a student’s original hire date. However, they would know the dates they are expecting the student to work, the amount of money the student will earn, and the funding source - The Current tab displays EPAFs you need to act on. - The In My Queue tab displays EPAFs that have been submitted, but that have not reached you yet. - The History tab shows EPAFs you have already taken action on

Bream can be found in both fresh and salt water, so anglers have many options when it comes to fishing for this species. In general, bream are most commonly found in shallow, sheltered areas with plenty of vegetation. They are also often found around submerged logs or other structure. Bream are relatively easy to catch, but anglers should still take care to choose the right spot. Areas with lots of vegetation can be difficult to fish, as the bream can hide among the plants. It is often better to choose an area with fewer plants or to fish early in the morning before the bream have a chance to hide. Anglers should also be aware that breams are often found in large schools. This means that once a few bream are caught, it can be difficult to catch anymore. It is often better to fish for bream in smaller groups or to move to a new spot after catching a few fish. Finally, it is important to consider the time of day when choosing a spot to fish for bream. [caption id="attachment_1997" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Where to fish for bream in cold water[/caption] Breams are most active during the morning and evening hours, so these are the best times to fish. However, bream can be caught at any time of day, so anglers should not hesitate to fish during the daytime if they have the opportunity.

This can be especially effective when using live bait, as the movement of the bait can attract the fish's attention. To slow down your presentation, you can use a variety of techniques, such as fishing with a slower retrieve, using a heavier line, or fishing with a heavier weight on your rig. [caption id="attachment_1996" align="aligncenter" width="300"] How to fish for bream in cold[/caption] Experiment with different techniques to find what works best for your specific fishing situation. Remember to be patient and keep your bait in the water as long as possible to give the bream plenty of time to find and bite The best way to fish for bream is by casting a bobber or floating over the water at the depths where you suspect the bream are holding. The bobber or float must be baited with a mixture of fish food, corn, and breadcrumbs. Fish such as bream will attack your bait and drive the hook into the bottom if you don't set up your fishing rig properly. Fish deeper in the Cold Fishing deeper is an important tactic to consider when fishing for bream in cold water. Bream tend to move to deeper water in cold conditions, as the deeper water tends to be more stable and comfortable for them. To fish deeper, you can use a variety of techniques, such as using a heavier weight on your rig, using a longer leader, or using a sinker or jig to help get your bait or lure down to the desired depth. The challenges of fishing for bream in the cold The rewards of a successful day on the water, including a cooler full of fresh fish, make the effort well worth it. Fishing for bream in cold water can present a number of challenges for anglers: Decreased activity of the Fish: Bream are generally less active in cold water, which can make them more difficult to catch. Decreased oxygen levels: Cold water can hold less oxygen than warmer water, which can affect the health and activity levels of the fish. Cold water is denser than warm water, which means that it can hold less oxygen for the same volume. This can be a challenge for fish, as they rely on oxygen to survive and function. In general, fish are more active and healthy in water with higher oxygen levels, so the reduced oxygen levels in cold water can make them more sluggish and less likely to bite. To help mitigate the effects of decreased oxygen levels in cold water, it is important to use live bait and to fish in areas with good water circulation, such as near inflows or outlets. It is also important to be mindful of your catch and release practices, as stressed or injured fish may have a harder time recovering in cold water with low oxygen levels. The biggest challenge when fishing for bream is often simply finding them. In conclusion, fishing for bream in cold water can be a rewarding and challenging experience for anglers. Whether you are an experienced angler or new to fishing, we hope that this guide on fishing for bream in cold water – where to fish and what gear to use – has provided you with valuable information and inspiration to help you catch these elusive fish. Thank you for reading, and we hope you have a great time fishing for bream in cold water!

How it all began... My name is Jessica Smith and I am the sole owner and operator of Flippin’ Fabulous LLC. I currently reside in the small town of Wind Lake, Wisconsin. I am a mother, a wife, and a lover of life who designs and creates all things fabulous! I love what I do and love sharing my creative talents with others. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve had a passion for decorating and art. I always loved drawing and painting, and kept a stash of sketchbooks and paint supplies in my bedroom closet. Doing crafts was therapeutic for me and I performed best when I was being creative. As a young adult, I quickly learned that I had a passion for home décor and decorating. I often received many compliments on how beautifully decorated my home was. Before I decided to launch my business in 2016, I felt stuck in a vicious work cycle in corporate America. I was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I was burnt out. While talking with friends, family, and co-workers, I was oftentimes told that I had missed my calling. I knew I was at a turning point in my life, and that God had something bigger planned for me. God gave me the gift of creativity. After completing several months of research and self-reflection, I decided to quit my career of working 14+ years in the insurance industry to open my own business. I followed my dream of becoming an entrepreneur and starting my own company and thus, Flippin’ Fabulous LLC was born. I decided to pursue my dream of being a full time artist and owning my own small business. I started out by renting a small booth inside a local antique mall in Waterford, Wisconsin. My main focus was creating handmade wood signs from repurposed wood. I started to learn the process of refinishing furniture, and my pieces moved quickly and I was addicted! My business was growing fast, so I decided to add a 2nd booth to the antique mall. From there, I expanded into several other locations in southeast Wisconsin and northern Illinois. I decided to work with local artists on a consignment basis, and that helped my business grow and prosper. When Covid hit in early 2020, I had to pivot my business in order to stay afloat, despite many other small businesses being forced to shut down and close doors. I did a ton of research, worked with a business mentor (Jennifer Allwood), and worked diligently on my website to move to e-commerce. I then launched my online shop. Fast forward to late spring of 2022, when I received the news that the location I called home to for 6 years (Waterford Unique Antique Market) was for sale and the owners were closing the business. I was not ready to close my business and knew I needed to pivot, yet again. I looked at a few potential locations but nothing caught my eye, until I came across the charming downtown area of Waukesha, Wisconsin. They say when one door closes another opens and this is exactly what happened in my case. On September 16th, 2022, I opened the doors to Flippin’ Fabulous’ first brick & mortar storefront in Downtown Waukesha. I am the sole owner and operator of my award-winning small business boutique that features a curated collection of refinished furniture, home décor, apparel, accessories, and gifts. Most products are handmade by select artisans located in Wisconsin and the USA. Classes, workshops, and pop-up vendor events are held year round. Design consultation services are also available. I work with customers who need help decorating their home and finding unique and trendy home décor pieces while keeping their budget in mind. I worked hard to build my business from the ground up and continue to bring my customers, who I call my fabulous fans, fabulous finds from artists like myself and other small businesses. My goal is to bring you fabulous quality pieces at fair prices. It’s not just a house, it’s your home. Make it fabulous! “Turning ordinary into extraordinary and drab into fab!” Follow along on my creative journey! Thank you for supporting my small business!

All of my pieces are created inside my studio office and workshop. Flippin' Fabulous Manifesto I believe that your home is your sanctuary, and represents every aspect of your life. It should make you feel safe, secure, and grateful. A house is a place, but a home is a space that supports the absolute best version of you. Home is where your heart is, and you should always start each day with a grateful heart while remembering that each day is a gift and tomorrow is never promised. I believe in the importance of family and friendships. I appreciate the friendships that have turned into family. Family comes first above all and I love my family more than anything else. My father gave me roots and my mother gave me wings, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support of my family and friends. I strive to build a community over competition. Empowered women empower other women. I encourage other women to remain goal-oriented, strong, and self-sufficient. What I want for myself is what I want for others. I don’t support bullying or intimidation. There is room for everybody at the table. If you run out of room, then it’s time to build a bigger table. I am never too busy to help anyone struggling. I will continue to do what I can using the resources that I have. I believe it is important to help others and give back when possible. I believe in working hard and staying humble. It is important to reflect back on where you came from, staying humble in the journey, and continue to learn and grow to be your best self. It’s never too late to follow your dreams. Do what you love and love what you do. Dreams don’t work unless you do and nothing worthy comes easy. I believe it is important that you always stay true to yourself as authenticity cannot be replaced. I believe kindness is priceless. No act of kindness, no ever how small, is ever wasted. Keep compassion and empathy in your heart. I try to help others when I can and live by the Golden Rule. In a world where you can be anything, be kind. I strive to do better, be better, and lead by example. I believe in the importance of progress over perfection. Trust the Process. Be where you are today. I believe in pushing thru despite your failures, remembering your why, practicing gratitude daily for all that you have in the moment, and manifesting your dreams until they become a reality. I believe in the importance of self-care. If you don’t take time for your wellness you will be forced to make time for your illness. I think it’s important to eat well, exercise often, and travel when I can. I try to live in the moment, slow down, and enjoy the little things in life, for most often, they are the big things. Everyone has the opportunity to be their own version of fabulous! I believe in purpose. I believe in a higher power and following the signs along the way. I trust God’s plan for me. I strive to consistently add value to the lives of my customers. My goal is bring my customers fabulous quality pieces at affordable and fair prices while providing the best customer service possible. I believe in the power of shopping local and supporting small businesses whenever possible and embracing the American dream. I am committed to doing what I love and sharing my gifts and talents with others.

Every day since the Bridal Extravaganza I’ve done multiple consultations with brides. They have two things in common. First, they’re all getting married. Of course. The second thing is that they’re all looking at Pinterest for inspiration. I’ve found myself repeatedly referring to the article I wrote about two years ago, “Effectively Use Pinterest to Plan Your Wedding“. I reread the article today and realized most of the information is just as relevant today as it was then. Consequently, I think you will too! I encourage you to read it if you’re overwhelmed, new to Pinterest, or just want to have a plan before diving in. Because of this, I created this updated condensed version of Pinterest tips for brides and grooms. My most effective Pinterest tips for brides Don’t focus on trends Trends come and go. If you follow them your wedding photos will look dated in a few years. Don’t believe me? Tell me what you think of when I describe a perfectly pointed cascading bouquet with white lilies and dendrobium orchids. The 90’s, right? There’s a good reason for that. The trend in all the bridal magazines back then was perfectly pointed cascading bouquets. I don’t even want to guess how many bouquets I made in that style. Now think about some of the trends you see on Pinterest today. In my opinion, pampas grass and spray painted flowers are the perfectly pointed cascading bouquets of today. Instead of trend-surfing, you’ll be much happier sharing your gorgeous wedding photos with your grandchildren knowing you’ve chosen things that reflect your personality. And, speaking of reflecting your personality. Using sentimental items as wedding decor is the easiest way to infuse your personality. In Easy Ways to Personalize your Wedding, I brainstormed a few ideas to get you started. Most importantly, your wedding should be about you. A generic wedding may look great on Pinterest, but your wedding is a gift from you to your friends and family. It’s about sharing your love for each other and that’s what makes it special. Focus on the concept rather than a specific element A lot of brides find the perfect vase, lantern, candelabra, etc. on Pinterest. The problem is finding it for sale or rent in time for your wedding. A lot of the images on Pinterest are from styled inspiration shoots. Professional wedding vendors all contribute their talent to produce a stunning image to help you envision your dream wedding. The perfect lantern you just have to have may actually be a family heirloom. The perfect vase may be from a collection a decade old and is out of production. And that perfect candelabra may have been found at an antique store. My best Pinterest tip for brides is to focus on the overall look rather than on a specific piece. Save yourself time and choose something your local event rental company or florist already has available. Chances are they have something similar that will give you the same overall effect. Are you a bride using Pinterest as a mood board for your wedding? If you have some Pinterest tips for brides we’d love to share them. Drop us a line!

One of the things I remind my students of most often is that when it comes down to it, we all want more time, never more money. This week, the Guardian published an article on a book written by a palliative care nurse on the top five regrets of the dying. The top five include: 1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me 2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard 3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings 4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends 5. I wish that I had let myself be happier Read the full article and the accompanying book for more details.

Cajun Chicken Rice Instant Pot We love easy, economical, flavorful and express one-pot meals that don't require much elbow grease. Today's Instant Pot Cajun Chicken and Rice fits the bill perfectly. Just a little bit sauteing and dump and cook is all you've to do. In fact this Instant Pot Chicken and Rice dish is our most favorite Cajun dishes that we enjoy eating and a lot. So flavorful and so good! The sweetness from the bell-peppers and the onion, the tang from the tomato paste, the smokiness from the paprika perfectly balances the spicy kick from the Cajun seasoning. We went a little heavy on the Cajun seasoning because we love the kick and the taste. However, you can always scale it down and also totally skip adding the paprika. You can also use either boneless Chicken Breasts or thighs for the recipe. We chose chicken thighs and hence, the meat is darker. Instant Pot Cajun Chicken and Rice Ingredients - Chicken: I used boneless skinless chicken thighs and flash marinated them with little bit of Cajun seasoning and paprika. You can also use chicken breasts. - Rice: Long Grain white rice rinsed and drained well. - Water or Chicken Stock. - Onion: Yellow Onion roughly chopped. - Celery: Chopped finely. - Bell Peppers: Green, yellow, orange and red varieties finely chopped. - Tomato paste: Use store bought either from the tube or the can. - Cajun Seasoning. - Paprika. (optional) - Oil: Extra virgin olive oil. What is Cajun seasoning made of? Cajun seasoning is made of a combination of flavorful dry ingredients like onion powder, garlic powder, seasoning salt, cayenne pepper, oregano and thyme. However, DIY homemade Cajun seasonings might also contain paprika, black pepper and chili flakes. Those extra stuffs lend a whole new kick to the Cajun seasoning. What does Cajun seasoning taste like? Cajun seasoning tastes smoky, garlicky, peppery with a good kick from the cayenne pepper. It's a delicious seasoning spice blend perfect for summer barbecue and grilling and so much more.

A huge collection of easy Instant Pot Recipes from Foodies Terminal Step #1 Braise the Chicken Braising the chicken will greatly increase the flavor of the dish. Lightly fry the Chicken both sides until lightly brown on SAUTE kept at HIGH in your Instant Pot. Set aside and use the same oil for the rest of the recipe. Step #2 Saute the Veggies You can dump the Onion and the other veggies all at once and saute just for a couple of minutes to develop flavors. However, you also take our route and saute the onions first until just beginning to become translucent. Than, quickly add the bell peppers and celery and saute them for about 1 minute. Step #3 Add Chicken, rice & pressure cook Add the cajun seasoning, give everything a good mix. Add back the braised chicken to the pot. Pour water or chicken stock, mix in the tomato paste. You'll get a gorgeous bright colored gravy. Also, de-glaze the pot very well with the help of a spatula so that there are no bits and crumbs stuck at the bottom of the pot. This will prevent the BURN message. Gently mix in the rinsed rice (READ NOTES). Do not stir too much because the rice grains will break. Pressure cook on HIGH for 5 minutes and than wait for 10 minutes Natural pressure release. After that release the rest of the pressure manually and open the pot. Gently fluff the rice with the help of a fork. For the best fluffy Cajun chicken and rice allow the dish to rest for at least 10 mins before serving. How long does Instant Pot Cajun Chicken and Rice last in the fridge? Instant Pot Cajun Chicken and Rice shall last you for 5 days in the fridge in air tight containers. Re-heat the dish in microwave oven with sprinkles of water or just grab a skillet and re-heat on the stove top over medium heat. And do not forget to drizzle a few drops of water. This helps keep the rice moist and fluffy. Cajun Chicken Rice Instant Pot Freezing Tips Instant pot cajun chicken and rice is extremely freezer friendly. It will last your for 2 months in the freezer. We love storing the portion sizes in freezer safe bags. That way it's way easier to grab the bags and re-heat them as required. Why not try these EASY Rice Recipes from the world? Instant Pot Cajun Chicken and RicePrint Recipe Pin Rate Watch Recipe Video - 1.66 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into 2.5" large chunks - 2 cups long gran white rice (rinsed very well) - 2 cups and additional 50 ml water or low sodium chicken stock - 2 tbsp Cajun Seasoning - 1.5 tsp Paprika (optional) - 1 tbsp Tomato Paste (diluted with 2 tbsp water) - 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Salt (to taste) - ½ cup green bell pepper finely chopped - ½ cup yellow bell pepper finely chopped - ½ cup orange bell pepper finely chopped - ½ cup red bell pepper finely chopped - ½ cup celery finely chopped - ½ cup onion roughly chopped (yellow onion) - Flash Marinate the chicken with 4 dashes cajun seasoning, 2 dashes paprika and salt according to taste. Cajun seasoning already contains salt so you need to keep that in mind. This step is totally optional, however, flash marinating and than braising the chicken does build up excellent flavors. So, if you have a few extra mins on hand do this step. - Now, set the Instant Pot on SAUTE and set it on HIGH. Add oil. When the oil becomes moderately hot add the flash marinated chicken pieces and braise (fry them) them both sides until lightly golden or golden brown. Set them aside. You'll have some bits and crumbs sticking at the bottom of the pot while braising the meat, that's perfectly normal. Moreover. we'll be de-glazing the pot very well before pressure cooking. - Use the same oil, add more if needed. Keep the SAUTE settings to NORMAL. Add the chopped onions and saute until they begin to become translucent. - Now, add the colored bell peppers along with the celery and saute for 1-2 minutes. - Next, add the Cajun seasoning ( I mixed in the paprika too in the cajun seasoning just before adding). Mix everything well. - Add back the braised chicken chunks to the pot and give everything a very good mix. - In the meantime rinse the long grain white rice with enough water several times until you see clear water running through. This step is very important. It helps make the rice fluffy and prevents them from becoming messy, sticky and gooey. The surface starch of the rice is all drained out this way. Also, drain the rinsed rice very well. There should not be any excess water left. - Come back to the pot and add exactly 2 cups + additional 50 ml water and mix well. At this point de-glaze the pot really well with the help of a spatula. There should not be any bits and crumbs stuck at the bottom of the pot. De-glazing the pot well will prevent the BURN message. - Add the tomato paste and mix well again. - Next, add the rice and gently mix the grains in the water. Avoid over mixing, it will break the rice grains. - Check the seasoning and add salt if you need to. - Close the lid of the pot and seal the valve. Pressure Cook on HIGH for 5 minutes. - After 5 minutes when the Instant Pot begins to beep wait for 10 minutes natural pressure release. Than, release the rest of the pressure manually. - Open the lid carefully and fluff the Cajun rice gently with the help of a fork. For best result allow the Cajun Chicken and rice to rest for 10 mins before serving. This helps the rice become more fluffy. Enjoy! - Measuring Units used, 1 cup = 240 ml and 1 teaspoon = 5 ml. - What is Braising anyway? Braising means lightly frying or browning the meat both sides. And than cooking the meat covered in the same juices. This adds tons of flavor and depth to any recipe and also makes any tough meat fork-tender. - Don't want to braise the chicken pieces? Flash marinate them as already mentioned in the recipe and add them directly in the pot. Saute them for 2-3 mins along with the other ingredients. - DO NOT ever skip rinsing the rice well. You can find the huge difference once you make the recipe using rinsed rice. No more gooey, sticky and messy rice ever! - Drain the rinsed rice very well. There should not be excess water left. - Use the same cup to measure the rice and the water. - Use the exact amount of water mentioned in the recipe for best results. - Avoid BURN message: De-glaze the pot very well with the help of a spatula after adding chicken stock or water. There should not be any bits and crumbs stuck at the bottom of the pot. That eventually leads to the BURN message as Instant Pots are sensitive. - You can reduce the amount of Cajun spice and also skip the paprika totally from the recipe if you prefer a milder Cajun chicken and rice. - We went a little heavy on the Cajun spice because we love the flavors and the kick. - NOTE: You can skip sauteing the onion, instead dump the onions and the veggies together in the pot and saute everything for 2-3 mins and follow the rest of the recipe. Sauteing the onion brings out the sweetness and makes the dish more flavorful. - STORING TIPS: This Instant Pot Cajun Chicken and Rice stores upto 5 days in the fridge in air tight containers. - RE-HEATING TIPS: Re-heat the Cajun chicken and rice in the microwave oven until warm with sprinkles of water. The water will prevent the rice from drying out. You can also re-heat the rice on a skillet with sprinkles of water and over medium heat. Stir often to prevent it from getting stuck at the bottom of the skillet. - FREZZING TIP: The Instant Pot Cajun Chicken and rice freezes very well upto 2 months. I often freeze it in freezer safe bags, thaw them over night in the fridge and than reheat with sprinkles of water. Works beautifully every single time.

betPawa has announced a shift in focus in its sponsorship arrangement for Ghana Premier League clubs. This was confirmed by the betting firm after an agreement with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) was achieved. According to the statement, BetPawa will focus on providing direct financial benefits to clubs in the form of locker room bonuses. Instead of continuing as the headline sponsor of the Ghana Premier League, betPawa has decided to redirect its focus towards providing direct benefits to players. The increase in the Locker Room Bonus is pegged at 167% culminating in an increase from 150 Ghana Cedis ($12.49) to 450 Ghana Cedis ($33.31). Additionally, the company will complete the first phase of the betPawa Park, which is currently under construction at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram. The decision to revise the partnership comes after betPawa initially signed a three-year contract in August 2022, pledging to invest a total of $6 million, with an annual contribution of $2 million earmarked for promoting the league. The betting firm added, “We want to assure the sporting community that BetPawa and GFA will continue to work together to develop and improve football standards in the country.” Full statement below:

“I thought Mom went to college to be a Mom,” Sammy said, and he was completely serious, and we all paused for a moment before laughing hysterically, and therein surfaced one of this family’s major problems, from beginning to end, stated in ten simple words. * * * * * Once upon a time two English majors, both writers, fell in love and got married and lived a quiet life in Florida where they spent entire Saturdays reading on the couch and finding their way as a newly-married couple and traveling up and down the East Coast. These were simple times, though they did not realize it. For two years they had their little routines which included milkshakes every night over Scrabble, and lots of sex, and counting their pennies, and, when a few extra dollars came in, going out to eat at the Outback Steakhouse around the corner. And afterward feeling guilty because who had $30 extra to spend on steak and cheese fries? Not them. For two years. Such a simple life. Then the crazy took over, and a kind of eternal crisis mode set in, and at first it was crisis mode set into the mold of an exciting move to England and young children and a business that devoured days and then Virginia with four children and good friends and a business that devoured days and then it was the kind of crisis mode that arises out of huge debt and disappointment and struggling to keep heads above water, the kind of crisis mode where everyone does what they have to do to keep the house together and moving and bills paid, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. What started as an exciting overseas move led to fifteen years of discombobulation and searching for direction and falling into a life that worked. For me, anyway. It was a life that worked because I was lucky enough to stumble into a way of making a living that I loved: writing. Let’s be honest. It’s a life that has worked for me. And somewhere along the way, Maile lost herself. * * * * * I came back from a work trip and I can’t remember if it was when I came back from Istanbul or Iraq or Nashville or maybe all of them but there we stood beside the bed and Maile told me she was flat-out gone, flat-out not someone she recognized anymore. She was nearing forty and didn’t know who the person in the mirror had become or where the last fifteen years of her life had gone or if she’d ever be able to find herself again, the self she loved. The self who wrote beautiful words and stories, the self she had been at eight years old writing in lined journals. And what if this is it. What if this is life. That is a hard thing to hear, especially when you feel like you have found yourself, especially when the last fifteen years have been you finding your way, only to realize the person you were with, the person who came along on the journey with you, the person who supported and pushed and cheered you on, wasn’t on a trail that worked for them. Those are hard conversations to have. Those are long nights. Can two humans ever not fail each other? Is this what it means to be unequally yoked, one going one way, the other going the other? Can two people find their way after so many years of wandering? Both of them? * * * * * Last week we were at the Festival of Faith and Writing, and Maile met some kindred spirits. You know who you are. And she asked, “How do you make time to write?” and “How do you stay married and have children and take care of a house and still make time to write?” and “When do you write?” and a hundred other questions. This, I think, is what makes a writers’ conference worth it. Not the speakers, though they might be very good. And not the information, though it might be very helpful. No, a writers’ conference is a good one when it puts you in contact with people who will help you find your way. They said, “You have to set aside the time, and maybe dinner doesn’t get made or children eat cereal or toast and maybe the house doesn’t get cleaned or maybe you have to go out somewhere. But you have to make time. You have to. You will die if you don’t.” We are trying to make time. No. Scratch that. We are making time. Tuesday night from 4 to 6 was the first time, and the children chose to make Caribbean Pineapple Quinoa and they did an amazing job and I played video games with them for an hour before that because that’s what happens when I’m in charge. And a little before 6, Maile came down and we ate dinner together that the children had made and behold, it was good! We had a long conversation with them about how in a family it’s important that everyone gets to follow their dreams and it’s important that we care for each other in this way, that we tend gently and faithfully to the fire that each of us carries, because this is the kind of caring that families have to do for one another. Often, no one else will do it. We looked our little girls in the face and said that they, in particular, have to be careful about losing themselves. This is how it can be if we’re not careful. This is how it can go. This is when I told them that their mother loved to write stories, always had since she was their age, and that we hadn’t done a good job helping her find time to do this but that was about to change. Abra volunteered to make dinner every night. I said that was generous. “Well,” she said, “maybe not every night,” and we laughed and said we will see. This is when I told them their mother and I both studied English in college, and this is when Sammy said, “I thought Mom went to college to be a Mom.” In that one sentence, I realized by how much I had missed the mark. A crisis mode that set in a decade ago, the mode in which we tried to survive by doing what we had to do, the mode in which I wrote for a living and Maile held everything else together, had slipped into our daily lives, and our months, and our years, and it had become our way of life, and it is my fault that we never came up out of that. We are emerging, and we are all catching our breath, and we are all looking around, trying to see how it might be in this new world.

I used the REST API function /deployment/create to deploy a bpmn file. After the file got deployed successfully, the database table ACT_RE_DEPLOYMENT has a record, but the ACT_RE_PROCDEF table is still empty, and no process definition was created. Which REST API function should I use to insert a record into the ACT_RE_PROCDEF table? Thanks. Can you post the model you’re using - It’s common that people for forget to tick the is executable tick box in models. this can prevent deployment. Thanks for the tip. It worked. This was asked and answered in the google group as well: Been there… done that. Later on, you might also want to make sure you’re looking at the correct (most current) version of your model when testing code. Camunda does a VERY good job at maintaining model versions - meaning that, once your model gets deployed and you begin testing, don’t forget to clean up instances prior to stepping through tasks/code (etc). A trick I’ve grown to depend on is watching the server logs during deployments - checking to insure the model is both deployed and without errors. The Camunda server provides excellent verification at deployment.

Please find below the BPMN files. form-identify-site.form (582 Bytes) test_identify-instance-change-task.bpmn (6.8 KB) Thanks for your help, I believe that below example is what you are looking for Hi @hassang , Thanks for your response. This should solve my issue but I only use camunda modeler to configure my workflow. You can implement the task listener using scripting and as external resource (script file to be deployed along with the model in a single deployment) so the same script could be reused by multiple user tasks. Kindly find the attached simplified example. tasklistener_script_example.bpmn (3.7 KB) And below is the content of taskName.js file Deploy the script file “taskName.js” along with the model as illustrated in the below snip I appreciate your help. This work for me. Please keep in mind that each time you have a new version of your model, the new version should be deployed along with the script file.

Nextcloud External Storage - mounting external services with Rclone? I am looking for a solution for the following scenario: We need to upload & download approx 250GB of large video files per week. There would probably be about a maximum of 500GB but could reach more, on the server at any one time. This is in addition to our normal Nextcloud use for internal files. I don't really want to add this as Block storage to our server as that would be too expensive. I tried adding External Storage to a Hetzner Storage box (that's what we use for backups via SMB) but we have found that it is a bit slow. Our users are used to sharing our large unedited video files via mega or google drive & their upload/download speeds are much faster with those services. The Google Drive External Storage app for Nextcloud doesn't work anymore with the current versions of Nextcloud. I was thinking of maybe using RClone to locally mount a mega or google drive account & then add that as local External Storage. I noticed in the Cloudron docs that: Mounting an existing server directory as 'external storage' on Nextcloud is currently not supported. So will this not work? I have also tried out Wasabi S3 storage which is very competitively priced but they have a model that you are charged for any upload for a full 90 days even if you delete the file within 90 days. This wouldn't really suit us as we are generally deleting the files within a few days once a client has downloaded them. Does anyone have in mind any suitable solution for our needs? Not sure how much that has changed with recent Nextcloud versions, but generally we have had quite bad experience with that. Many non-block storage types are simply not well suited for regular file usage, while network mounts often are, as you also mentioned, quite slow. What could help you here is to get some kind of storage box in the same datacenter as where your server is and then experiment between sshfs/samba/nfs, depending on what is supported and see which one works best. Thanks for the quick reply nebulon. Regarding what I quoted from the docs about mounting an existing server directory as 'external storage' not being supported, - is it not recommended or is that it simply can't be done with a Cloudron Nextcloud install? What I mean is - let's say if I use Rclone to mount a Google Drive or Mega account to /mnt/webstorage could I then use the 'local' option in External Storage to 'attach' that drive as External Storage to the relevant users. This can work on a non-Cloudron Nextcloud, is there something that stops it on Cloudron? The local mount would not work, since Nextcloud runs in its own container and does not have access to folders on the host system. This requires more changes on the platform and is unlikely to happen any time soon. The only option is to try the mount options from the external storage addon in nextcloud. Though when I look in the documentation (specifically the disk layout): https://docs.cloudron.io/storage/#app-data-directory after installation there is a new folder made in the appsdata folder. Does this mean that the data put in the nextcloud docker instance are stored on the disk/folder itself and are not stored within the docker instance? This would be a good thing, storing all the data inside of the nextcloud instance would seem like bad practice @girish Interesting, any ETA on when 6.0 is coming? Concerning the volume concept. I read another post (maybe you or another dev around here) mentioning that a "shared" folder/volume is not working as it should be. E.g. nextcloud is ignoring files when added to the volume and don't show up inside of the Nextcloud web UI. Is that still the case or is that fixed? Another brief update: - We added auth wall functionality that apps without any notion of login can use - i18n is mostly done, just lots of testing before we let translators do their work. @nebulon can give some updates on how the language is selected etc. - We added httpPathsfunctionality so that @MooCloud_Matt can work on his OLS app. Also, see https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3755/apache-ols-and-nginx-custom-benchmarks/5 - Reworked a lot of the internal dns stuff, so that we can have apps as dns servers (ad blocker apps) - solr fts search was merged today. Looks like we are set for a release next week!

Welcome to DATING SCAMMER Behind the account of any, even the most ordinary person, may be hiding AFRICAN SCAMMER! Please report romance scams and dating scams here, also write your story about communication with a scammer. My Dear Beloved Friend, Greetings and thank you for your response. Please let this not sound strange to you because I am not asking you for money, for my only surviving lawyer who would have done this, died early this year. I prayed and got your email address from your country's guest book which I got from my late husband's archive and I wish to visit once more if God will in his infinite mercies grant me. In function of your good profile, I want to solicit your assistance in the discharge of my Will. I am Mrs. Marina C. Paulson, from London and am aged 68 years suffering from endometrial cancer. Please, I want you to help me create a charitable project with the money that I inherited from my deceased husband who died in a motor accident. I was brought up from a motherless baby's home and was married to my late husband for twenty nine years without a My friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness and I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them anymore, so I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the sum of £9,000,000 GBP (Nine Million Pounds) with my bank. All I need is an honest person who will use at least %60 of the funds as I would instruct, then the rest %40 will go to you for helping me accomplish this mission because donating this money to charity is the only legacy I can leave behind after my death. No money is required from you to carry on with this project because it is my heart desire to make a generous gift to you to work for a charity in your country. I don't mind if you are a Christian or Muslim or Hindu or Buddhist rather my only paramount concern here is whether I can trust you because this generation is filled up with greedy and fraudulent people all over the world. I will give you more details as soon as I hear from you. Looking forward to your urgent response. Mrs. Marina C. Paulson. Email: [email protected]

But it would be amazing if I could do 1 or both things: - leave a comment, but it’s an audio and/or video comment - be able to put a video right on the figma project that viewers would be be able to view right in the figma file as they go through it.

If that was the case, why did you spring for the second. They do have guarantees for things like that I bought one of these from woot. I love it! Great performer. I dont wanna drop 300-400 on a tablet, yep I’m a cheapskate. I was considering putting cyanogen on it, but ICS is smooth in and of itself. I have several tablets (none are today’s deal though) and I will say that if you need something that can do most of what laptops/net books can do, but don’t need the harddrive space, then a tablet is a good, cheaper alternative. Tablets are also more robust than laptops/net books are, where kids are concerned. I have this and a Nexus 7. I think that you should just go with the Nexus 7. This was deal of the day about a month ago, purchased one, received it, set it up and then it froze and wouldn’t do anything. Called Acer and they wouldn’t honor 90 day warranty for this refurbished unit. woot refunded after two weeks. Buyer beware. I bought a Motorola Xoom tablet from woot a few months ago, it is running Ice Cream Sandwich and I am able to move apps to the SD card. This has a 90-day Woot warranty. If you have any issues, you should contact firstname.lastname@example.org, not Acer. (Sorry you had problems with your Acer. ) OK, that’s just plain wrong, my friend. You absolutely CAN install apps to a removable sdcard IF you have one in the unit. The thing is, the Nexus does not have removable storage. I contacted Woot and they said all they could do was refund as they didn’t have anymore. Acer called me a few days after I sent it back and said they were wrong and that it was under warranty. Since I had already sent it back I couldn’t get them to repair. Wish they hadn’t told me it wasn’t under warranty when I called them to begin with after woot advertised a 90 day manufacturer warranty. At least woot backed it up and refunded my money Is this manufacturer refurbished or seller refurbished? I bought one of these about a month ago. It seems to be working just fine. However, while playing videos from YouTube it couldn’t keep up and I needed to watch the videos on my laptop instead. $30 cheaper today at Ben’s Outlet, + free shipping–makes for a $35.00 savings. [MOD: That is an 3.2 Android with 8GB. Ours is 4.0 Android with 16GB (TT)] But 8GB at Ben’s. This one is 16GB. Again, that’s the Android 3.2 model with 8GB. The one on Sellout is Android 4.0 and 16GB. untrue…you can move your apps to an SD card. I just bought a 16 gb card for my polaroid tablet, and i had to tweak a system setting to get it to recognize it - now all my apps are on the extsd card Yes - I use mine for Hulu all the time. I LOVE this thing! I have been looking to buy a tablet but I don’t know what kind to get. I just want to use the internet, play some games, read books, and download apps. I was thinking about getting one of those budget 7 in tablets for like a $100. Would this be a better deal? Are the 10 in tablets easy to hold? I loaded all of my media files to the Cloud. Google and others offer for free, no need to store on your tablet unless you plan to use it where there is no wifi. I just use my ipod for that. There is always Pandora also. I have this exact tablet, and for extensive internet browsing the 10 inch display is almost a “must have” for me. But I find it’s really too big and heavy to hold in one hand for reading books. So I’m thinking of getting one of the cheapie 7 inch for that. Just my opinion, but: for occasional light internet use, frequent book-reading and better portability - get a 7 inch cheapie. For frequent internet use, fastest operation, running multiple apps at once - get something like or better than this 10 inch Acer. Can you play Facebook games on this? Such as Words with Friends or Cards? What about watching videos from Netflix?

This week the repertoire for Sunday’s Organ Mass has a Marian theme. It was such a shame not to celebrate the feast of the Assumption with solemnity today and while the Mass of the day will be XI Sunday after Pentecost, in Scotland the bishops have transferred holy days that fall on Saturdays to the following Sunday and before the 1962 Missal, the Assumption had an octave (yes, I realise that Sundays are not included…) So, those are my excuses, if any are needed for a dose of hyperdulia, for paying musical tribute to Our Blessed Lady, Assumed body and soul into Heaven and reigning as Queen over all! Introit- Chorale, Suite Gothique, Leon Boellmann Offertory- Prier du Notre Dame, Suite Gothique, Leon Boellmann Communion- Ave Maria, Op. 65 Alexandre Guilmant Communion of the Faithful- Versts on Ave Maris Stella, Improv and Op. 65 Alexandre Guilmant Programming music for liturgy is a delicate business- the last thing that we want is to have consecutive items which clash in key or style. Although most folk don’t realise it, which is kind of the point, I always programme music that is from one particular style and try to ensure that consecutive items are related in key so as to avoid any subtle yet distracting gear changes! The current covid-compliant liturgical arrangements have some bearing on the music chosen; mainly that rather than an uplifting ‘sortie’ a second communion piece is required after Mass as the people ‘receive and leave.’ Timing is also a factor since usually I only programme the Prelude and Postlude with only improvisations after the offertory and communion motets (unless we don’t have enough singers for motets in which case I do programme organ music.). This makes timing the end of the music to the end of the liturgical action quite straightforward. With full pieces, there may be a need to improvise an ending if the priest is ready earlier than expected, especially at the moment when playing for Low Mass with no ceremony (no incense etc). Recent organ Masses have been in the French Classical (what we call baroque) and French Romantic styles with all of last week’s music being by J.S. Bach. This week we have an English flavour with music by the 18th Century London composer John Stanley. Introit- Adagio, Voluntary IV, D Minor, Op.VII Offertory- Andante, Voluntary IV, DMinor, Op.VII Communion- Adagio, Voluntary VII, E Minor, Op.VII Communion of the people- Voluntary VII, G Minor, Op. V

The so-called “rescission doctrine” has long been utilized by tax professionals to correct erroneous transactions that occur in the same tax year. Under that doctrine, if the parties to a transaction can effectively be placed in the same position as they were prior to the transaction and in the same year, federal tax law will look the other way and consider the transaction a nullity. But, how far does the rescission doctrine go and does it apply to all transactions? In a recent decision by the Fourth Circuit, Estate of Kechijian v. Comm’r (4th Cir. June 23, 2020), the Court explores the contours of the rescission doctrine in addition to other areas of federal tax law. The decision in Estate of Kechijian is discussed in this Insight. The taxpayers were partners in a distressed debt loan portfolio business. In 1998, the taxpayers reorganized their business. Prior to the reorganization, the taxpayers had been owners and operators of a group of corporations and limited liability companies known as “UMLIC entities.” However, as part of the reorganization, the taxpayers chose to consolidate all of these entities into a single holding company, UMLIC Consolidated, Inc., which was treated as an S corporation for federal tax purposes. To effectuate the reorganization, the taxpayers executed a series of documents. First, they each transferred the entirety of their ownership in the UMLIC entities, each valued at $142,566, to UMLIC Consolidated, Inc., in return for 47,500 of its shares. At the same time, the taxpayers executed two collateral agreements – the Restricted Stock Agreement (RSA) and the Employment Agreement (EA). Together, these documents provided that if either taxpayer voluntarily terminated his employment with the company before January 1, 2004, he would lose at least 50% of the value of UMLIC Consolidated, Inc. This 5-year “earnout” period was designed to incentivize the taxpayers to continue working for UMLIC Consolidated, Inc. so that the new company would benefit from their skills. Thereafter, the taxpayers also created an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) for UMLIC Consolidated, Inc. The ESOP purchased 5,000 shares of UMLIC Consolidated, Inc. common stock at a price of $500,000. Later, the taxpayers transferred 24,500 shares of their UMLIC Consolidated, Inc. stock to irrevocable trusts established for the benefit of their families. As of August 1999, the taxpayers, their trusts, and the ESOP were the only shareholders of UMLIC Consolidated, Inc. The Tax Deferral Scheme The taxpayers’ actions were designed to limit their tax liabilities and depended on several provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and a Regulation. First, Section 83 applies where property (including stock) is transferred to a taxpayer “in connection with the performance of services.” Unless a specific election is made under Section 83(b), the taxpayer may defer the inclusion of gross income related to the transfer of stock until the tax year in which his rights in the stock “are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.” Here, because the taxpayers’ rights were subject to the conditional performance of future services, the stock was subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture under Section 83(a) and not includible in income until that risk was gone (i.e., 2004). Second, the Internal Revenue Code provides that an S corporation does not separately pay income taxes. Instead, it passes (or flows through) that income to its shareholder. Third, restricted stock in an S corporation that is issued in connection with the performance of services and that is substantially non-vested (e.g., subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture) is not treated as outstanding stock of the corporation for tax purposes. See Treas. Reg. § 1.1361-1(b)(3). Under this rule, profits from the S corporation do not flow through to the holder of a non-vested stock and therefore is not included on the holder’s tax return. Fourth, an ESOP is a tax-exempt entity. Taken together, the taxpayers took the position on their returns that they did not need to report income from UMLIC Consolidated, Inc. because their shares (and the shares held in trust) were subject to substantial risks of forfeiture. In addition, the taxpayers took the position that the ESOP, which was a tax-exempt entity, was the only entity required to include income from UMLIC Consolidated, Inc. for 2000 through 2003. The Second Reorganization In late 2003, the taxpayers sought again to reorganize their business operations. They did so for two reasons. First, they hoped to attract greater outside investment from hedge funds and private equity firms, which they felt would be difficult with the business continuing to operate as an S corporation. Second, Congress had amended the tax laws to close the loophole by which the taxpayers had avoided reporting taxable income on the earnings of UMLIC Consolidated, Inc. Thus, to effectuate the second restructuring, the taxpayers formed UMLIC Holdings, LLC. After the restructuring, the taxpayers each owned 50% of the new entity. In November 2003, UMLIC Holdings, LLC purchased all of UMLIC Consolidated, Inc.’s assets in exchange for a $190 million interest-bearing promissory note and the assumption of various liabilities. UMLIC Consolidated, Inc. recognized $174.6 million of capital gain but allocated the entirety of this gain to the ESOP, the tax-exempt entity. Vesting of the S-Corp Shares On January 1, 2004, the restrictions imposed by the RSA and EA on the taxpayers’ UMLIC Consolidated, Inc. shares lapsed and their shares became fully vested. When those shares vested, they had a fair market value of approximately $45.9 million. However, on March 30, 2004, the taxpayers entered into “surrender” and “subscription” agreements with UMLIC Consolidated, Inc. in which they returned the entirety of their newly vested shares to UMLIC Consolidated, Inc. and simultaneously repurchased 47,500 identical shares of UMLIC Consolidated, Inc. in exchange for a $41.5 million promissory note. In accordance with these transactions, the taxpayers reported $4.5 million in compensation income on their 2004 income tax returns. The IRS Audit The IRS examined the taxpayers’ tax returns for the years 2000-2004. On January 15, 2010, the IRS issued notices of deficiency to the taxpayers. In the notices of deficiency, the IRS took the following alternative positions: (1) the taxpayers’ stock in UMLIC Consolidated, Inc. was substantially vested upon receipt in 1998, and (2) even if the stock did not substantially vest until the RSA restrictions lapsed in January 2004, the taxpayers should have reported the fair market value of the stock as taxable income in 2004. The IRS also assessed accuracy-related penalties under Section 6662. The taxpayers timely filed Tax Court petition. At the Tax Court, the taxpayers contended that the rescission doctrine applied to negate any tax liabilities that may have resulted from the vesting of their UMLIC Consolidated, Inc. stock in 2004. Moreover, after the Tax Court issued its Opinion, the taxpayers raised for the first time that they should be entitled to an NOL carryback. The taxpayers lost on all of those issues and appealed the decision to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Fourth Circuit’s Decision During the Tax Court and Fourth Circuit proceedings, the taxpayers argued that they were not required to report the approximately $45 million in gain that they realized when their shares in UMLIC Consolidated, Inc. vested. Although the taxpayers seemingly acknowledged that those shares had vested in 2004, they contended that the surrender and subscription arrangements they entered into resulted in no taxable gain. In so arguing, the taxpayers contended that the rescission doctrine should apply. In addition, the taxpayers argued that they should be entitled to an NOL carryback, which was raised at the first time during post-trial proceedings. Rescission Doctrine and Economic Substance Doctrine In the words of the Fourth Circuit, they did “not see it.” Specifically, under the rescission doctrine, the transactions at issue are required to restore the taxpayers “to the relative positions that they would have occupied had no contract been made.” See Rev. Rul. 80-58; Hutcheson v. Comm’r, T.C. Memo. 1996-127 (“For the rescission to be effective, both buyer and seller must be put back in their original positions.”). Thus, according to the Fourth Circuit, “if you can’t restore, you can’t rescind.” In this regard, the Fourth Circuit reasoned: The contracts at issue here were for personal services, namely the five years of services performed by petitioners on behalf of UMLIC S-Corp. When a personal services contract has actually been performed, it is essentially impossible for the individual who rendered the services to be ‘returned’ to his position ex ante. See Jasper L. Cummings, Circular Cash Flows and the Federal Income Tax, 64 Tax Law. 535, 602 (2011) (noting that ‘compensation arrangements are not well suited’ to analysis under the tax rescission doctrine ‘because the employee cannot usually give back his or her performance’). What is more, as part of the underlying contracts, petitioners transferred the entirety of their interests in the UMLIC entities to UMLIC S-Corp, but they did not receive those assets back in the Surrender Transactions. As such, the Surrender Transactions are completely unlike the prototypical instance of rescission, in which all property that changes hands is returned to its original owner. See Rev. Rul. 80-58. Stated differently and summarily, the taxpayers lost on their rescission argument. But, the Fourth Circuit went further, alternatively deciding that even if the rescission doctrine applied, the transactions the taxpayers entered into lacked economic substance and should be disregarded for federal income tax purposes. See Frank Lyon Co. v. U.S., 435 U.S. 561 (1978) (“the objective economic realities of the transaction rather than the particular form the parties employed” determine the tax effect of a transaction). In addition, the Fourth Circuit held that the taxpayers were liable for the accuracy-related penalties. Significantly, the Fourth Circuit noted that the taxpayers were unable to show reasonable cause for, among other reasons, because “[t]hey did not obtain or rely on the opinion of a tax professional in adopting their position regarding the tax effect of the Surrender Transactions.” Another unhelpful fact was that the Fourth Circuit specially found that the taxpayers had “structured the Transactions with the specific purpose of evading tax liability on the compensation income that even petitions admit they realized at the moment their shares substantially vested.” After the Tax Court’s opinion, the taxpayers contended that the tax liabilities for 2004 should be reduced due to an NOL carryback. However, the Tax Court’s rules for addressing issues after an opinion has been issued are under Rule 155. Under that rule, the Tax Court may conduct further proceedings after it “has filed or stated its opinion or issued a dispositive order determining the issues in a case,” for the limited purpose of calculating a taxpayer’s tax liability. However, during these Rule 155 proceedings, parties are not permitted to raise “new issues” that go beyond “computation of the amount to be included in the decision resulting from the findings and conclusions made by the Court.” Vessio v. Comm’r, T.C. Memo. 1990-565; Vento v. Comm’r, 152 T.C. 1, 9 (2019). For purposes of Rule 155, a new issue is one that “was neither placed in issue by the pleadings, addressed as an issue at trial, nor discussed by [the Tax] Court in its prior opinion,” or one that “would necessitate retrial or reconsideration.” Vento, 152 T.C. at 8. Under these rules and procedures, the Fourth Circuit found that the taxpayers’ NOL carryback claim was “clearly a new issue within the meaning of Rule 155.” Thus, the taxpayers could not raise it. The decision in Kechijian is not surprising. Although the rescission doctrine can apply in a multitude of different circumstances, it is hard to see its application in the context of restricted stock and compensation arrangements. Moreover, the decision in Kechijian serves as a cautionary warning that taxpayers should raise all relevant issues during the Tax Court proceeding or risk having those issues waived.

Action Bank Slot : Play and Gamble Free-Spins or Win the Big Bank Bonus! Action Bank is a Barcrest/SG Interactive online slot that takes betting on reel-outcomes to a different level. Here, a player who gets a chance to activate the free-spins round may gamble his or her bonus spin rewards further. Staking a round of free-spins may result to winning more bonus spins.However, there is a chance that a bonus player might instead lose the free-spins initially won. Some players may get lucky, by instantly unlocking the Big Bank Bonus and win one of three Multiplier prizes. The game has only three (3) regular reel icons; the classic 7, BAR and X. The Lucky Number 7 pays the highest, awarding 20x, 100x, 500x the Line Bet on every 3, 4, or 5 winning symbols. The BAR icon correspondingly awards 10x, 20x, or 100x the Line Bet, while the X Symbol pays 5x, 10x, or 50x the Line Bet. At random occasions, icons bearing double 7, BAR or X images appear in any row or reel. If such an image finds a match in any payline, the payout for that particular win, will be doubled as well. The Zero Symbol is a non-winning icon. Yet it holds the key to the Free-Spins Bonus Game or possibly, the Big Bank Bonus. Another important element is the Joker Wild. As a suitable substitute symbol for only three regular icons, its appearance in any reel increases the odds of completing one or more payline wins. Action Bank Online Slot: Wild Symbol A Joker poses as Wild Symbol that may appear in part or in whole as Stacked Wilds in any reel. It can stand-in as alternative for a 7,BAR or X if the matching symbols are positioned in the same payline as the Joker Wild. The Joker Wild's configuration in the game though, does not result to winning combinations. Action Bank Online Slot: Zero Symbols The Zeroes appear frequently, and often times abundantly across the slot screen. Although in place as non-winning symbols, they randomly turn into Vault Dial icons. Three or four emerging still do not make the Zero-cum-Vault Dial symbols into winning combinations. Yet if five (5) Zeroes, one in each reel, become Vault Dial images, the Action Bank Free-Spins Bonus Game initiates. Action Bank Free-Spins Bonus Game A prompt to select a round of free games will replace the five (5) Vault Dial icons. Each image has a hidden number of Bonus Spins ranging from 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, up to 30. The number revealed by the Vault Dial selected by a player will then be the ante, if a player chooses to proceed with another gambling game. Otherwise, he or she may collect and continue by playing the Free-Spins Bonus game revealed by the Vault Dial. When Action Bank bonus players stake their bonus spins, a prize panel lights up higher number of free-spins as potential rewards. They can gamble until they get to win more bet-free spins or land on the same number of spins. However, the betting game could go south, which entails losing a round of free games altogether. Yet a bonus player may get lucky, if he or she instantly selects a Vault Dial that opens the Vault Door leading to the Big Bank Bonus. Action Bank Big Bank Bonus This game segment presents players with 15 Vault Dial icons to select. Every icon unravels a Diamond, a Ruby, or a Sapphire. In order to win a Big Bank Bonus, a player must unravel the right Gemstone combination. Revealing a combination of four (4) Diamonds, five (5) Rubies, or 6 Sapphires, triggers the awarding of a Total Bet Multiplier. The highest Big Bank Multiplier Prize is 500x the Total Bet wagered on the spin that produced the 5 Vault Dial icons. The Multiplier Prize though depends on the Gemstone combination completed.

A few weeks ago there was a featured post that contained a survey about Spiceworks applications. A few Spiceheads asked for those results to be shared back, and I wanted to follow up on the survey too. After all, there is no such thing as bad feedback from the people who use our products every day! My goal here is to be as transparent as I can when interpreting the survey's results while giving everyone another chance to get their voice in (or help realign our goals if I've read into something incorrectly). The better aligned Spiceworks is with what all of you want, the happier everyone will be. To start things off I'll go through four of the responses, and tell you what those mean to me: This question was meant to sense of how simple reports need to come out so that non-IT members can read them, and how this data gets passed around. The big question we weren't sure about was if the Finance people wanted the data, since that would encourage a lot more dollar signs being attached to pieces of hardware and software that makes sense of what the assets are. For a handful of you, that is probably true, and perhaps even your Executive teams would like that as well. Otherwise, this data is still mostly used by IT Pros directly, and though good charting would make things easier, it isn't nearly as important as being able to query raw data directly. I was actually initially surprised by this result, since I was expecting the Direct Query and CSV Download sections to be way higher. But after thinking about it, the Online Dashboard group probably expects those by default as part of their dashboard, while those who voted for it can go a long ways with nothing else but a CSV download or SQL query. I think our goal is to have all of these things, but the true Dashboard will just be an amalgamation of the rest. We just may deliver them once piece at a time. These results weren't too surprising but was a good baseline about the relative importance of metrics to other data we could see adding. But this could be the Spiceworks applications user bias showing, since our main products already deal with Inventory and Ticketing. This question was the the most informative, seeded with a few features that we kind of know how you feel about (monitoring status, barcode scanner, etc.), and then trying to fill in some gaps about individual pieces of reporting data. Clearly there are still items to improve upon that aren't in this category, but this is where my attention is currently focused. My personal take away is that we still have a large gap in what we report back to y'all and that needs to be filled. Without making any promises, the best bet for this is that we'll - Build some better options for custom attributes into the cloud tools. - Make sure the data is easy to export as a csv or excel file - Have some sort of query system so y'all can customize exactly what the reports are showing you, even if the data is hosted elsewhere. - Make sure all this data can be turned into easy to read charts or tables. - You can do this on your own network with our Virtual Appliance (currently being worked on) Please share feedback about that in the comments! Lastly, I've gone through the survey comments and cherry picked a few that addressed some common questions that echoed throughout, and responded to them below. Sorry if none of these address what you asked, but I'm happy to follow up with more! “I have yet to find a good way to manage all data. Every tool has its strengths, but we always end up with an Excel or Access DB that does exactly what we need. The best tool will be the one that gathers the most data but gives me the flexibility to slice and dice it any way I want.” This is what we were thinking as well. Prior to the survey I talked with a few people who stated all they want was a good data export, and they already knew how to turn that data into excellent report with Excel if they could gather it all in one simple place. Once we’ve done that I know that y’all can more readily depend on Spiceworks as a source of truth while we try to deliver some other greater reporting features. “We are starting to use Microsoft PowerBI more and more to visualize data.” We’re looking into if we can integrate PowerBI or another reporting system directly into the tool to take advantage of their features. Not sure if that’s what will end up happening, but feel free to tell me how that makes y’all feel. “I would love to see some development of the on-prem Spiceworks solution. It seems like it has been abandoned and if we have an internet outage the we don't have access to any of our data.” Spiceworks still has a plan going forward to support an on-prem version of our application, but we are transitioning to a new version that's built off of the cloud codebase so that we are not supporting two completely different apps. This was spoken about at SpiceWorld and in the following post: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2157638-state-of-desktop-app-v8-0. I recommend people who haven't seen that to read into it. There is also a beta page for that effort if you want to check it out yourself! It currently only supports a Help Desk, not Inventory. “I tried the inventory app, but didn't get very far with it as it seem i was going to have to run around and run it on every workstation. That's not going to happen. I was under the impression that wasn't necessary.”Correct, this is the solution we have chosen for now, to work around many issues that we have encountered with WMI in Desktop Inventory (on-prem). Granted there is a bit more work upfront – GPO or your favorite software distribution can help a lot – but when deployed, we expect the solution to be more reliable and easier to maintain. “The data is good when it works, I found more useful data from ESET or AV. If you guys could tie into other pieces of software you could aggregate all that data and present it in a much better way than some of these applications do.” We would absolutely love to do this. We've ramped down a lot of our direct integrations like we used to do with the Spiceworks Apps for a variety of reasons, but we know we aren't always the best source of data you can find. As we're looking into reporting tools we considering a kind of evolution to work in tandem with your IT solutions as a Business Intelligence system -- something that is good at aggregating data from multiple systems in order to give you dashboards and single pane of glass, and I'd love to know if that sounds like a good direction to head in from you all. “I would like to see more networking tools from Spiceworks! Network diagnostics have been a huge need. Troubleshooting and diagnosing network traffic (Read/write speeds on shares -local vs network resources/bottlenecking), connectivity between clients, route optimization, highlighting of errors/misconfigurations, dns troubleshooting. These would would be nice tools to see from Spiceworks, and for the Network Monitor already provided by SpiceWorks, the ability to load MiBs for SNMP would be even better. Also, more flexibility in adding devices to the Network Monitor.” I think we outlined our plans for networking and monitoring back with this post: https://community.spiceworks.com/blogs/products/2706-network-monitor-update, so let me know if that needs a further update. "The tools offered by Spiceworks is good as it is. My only concern is the security of the data Spiceworks has access to. I know you guys do your absolute best to keep things safe, but to my client it looks risky." I know Security is top of mind for a lot of you, especially as you see us invest heavily in Cloud products that store data far away from your work servers. I encourage you to read through our Security Center pages: https://community.spiceworks.com/support/security-center/security-details and highlight that Spiceworks is already GDPR compliant which gives you as our users a lot of power over your own data. Thanks again for helping out with product research!

The first known cyber extortion attack dates back to 1989, a decade before the invention of bitcoin. Targeted at the healthcare industry, AIDS researchers fell prey to a social engineering tactic involving a Trojan virus on 20,000 floppy disks which were distributed to them at the World Health Organisation AIDS conference. With data now perceived as more valuable than oil and possibly human lives, were criminals quick to see through human frailty as an easy gateway to data? Or was being “Rick-rolled” in the late 2000s the light bulb moment for cyber criminals? The turn of the decade saw a spike in cyber hacking that had even led to the shutdown of national healthcare systems and endangering lives for such illegal money-making. The growing use of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has further emboldened these criminal activities. Ransomware has proliferated and has become a substantial drain on business resources. With the pandemic-induced spike in the use of digital platforms, it is no surprise that the incidence of ransomware has been on a steep incline both globally and in Singapore. According to the Sophos’ State of Ransomware 2022 report, 65% of Singaporean organisations surveyed were hit with ransomware in 2021, up from 25% in 2020. To make matters worse, the average ransom paid by organisations in Singapore that had data encrypted in their most significant ransomware attack increased by more than sixfold from US$187,500 in 2020 to US$1.16 million in 2021. Regulators have preached “never pay the ransom” to ransomware victims, and some have legislated a ban on paying ransom in any circumstance. That said, this may not have drilled into enterprises and our society at large on the implications of this faceless crime. Does stopping ransomware payment just boil down to regulations? Does it pay to pay? The issue of paying the ransom to recover your files, especially customer and employee data, and proprietary information presents a moral dilemma for many. The ransom could be used to fund terrorism and perpetuate other criminal activities, and paying up does not guarantee that your data will be decrypted or will not be published by the threat actors. Ironically, those who pay up may suffer repeated attacks as it reinforces the perception that they are a “soft” target. According to Cybereason’s 2022 study on ransomware’s true cost to business, 80% of organisations were hit by ransomware again after paying up. 68% reported that the second attack with higher ransom demand took place less than a month later. Organisations covered under a comprehensive cyber insurance policy could seek reimbursement for the costs associated with rectifying the network disruption caused by the malware. The decision to pay any ransom payment would rest with the insured. For the insurer, reimbursing these funds to stop a cyber extortion event is a double-edged sword. While it could reduce the overall financial losses and the cost of an insurance claim, it also brings up moral and ethical issues where the reimbursement is seen to be directly and indirectly funding illegal activities by the perpetrators. Such reimbursements could therefore trigger regulatory concerns and would require a sensible review from the insurers. Targeting the insured For many of these affected companies, paying these hefty sums is seen as the only way to protect their business. Even if they have data backed up elsewhere, they may feel obliged to give in to the hackers’ demands to prevent confidential information from being exposed. The same Sophos study found that 48% of the organisations that had data encrypted paid the ransom to get their data back, even if they had other means of data recovery, such as backups. Bad actors are now using a form of “double extortion” where data is taken out and the system is locked up; so even if data is backed up else, companies are incentivised to pay. They are also getting smarter, searching for those who are insured to demand a higher payout. Building on the same methodology as of double extortion, the hackers have recently added another layer to ransomware attacks – “triple extortion” – in which they attack or extort from a victim’s clients and even suppliers. The ethical dilemma of paying the piper While paying the piper may seem like the path of least resistance for nearly half of the affected organisations, acting for the greater public good by deterring criminal activities remains the moral imperative for businesses. Businesses and insurers can also face substantial reputational risks from fuelling the ransomware business with the payment and reimbursement of ransoms respectively. Some insurers have taken a hard stance against reimbursing ransomware payments. Over at MSIG, we believe that the payment of ransomware does not sit within our broader mission of developing a sustainable and vibrant society, and we do not encourage our policyholders to succumb to cyber extortion. Regulators need to send a strong message On the regulatory front, legislators could double down on the repercussions of paying ransomware and consider tightening laws against paying cyber extortion ransoms. While it is not illegal to pay ransoms in Singapore, authorities generally do not recommend that victims of ransomware pay the threat actors. This is because the payment does not guarantee that the perpetrators would provide decryption and may even increase the likelihood of more ransomware attacks. Ransomware attacks are unfortunately not going away and are only becoming more common. The need for a more effective response to these threats is no longer a priority for businesses alone. Our society at large needs better defences against these criminals before the cyber threat turns into far-reaching systemic problems. Rather than kicking the can down the road, the public and private spheres should work together to navigate the ransom payment dilemma and the conflict of values.

Even though she is a fashionista who catches up with the trends of each season, sometimes she still falls into a situation where she does not know what to suit the environment, weather, or mood. Especially the office girls will encounter this situation the most. Understanding this, MARC will simplify the selection of clothes for her by choosing the 10 most typical female office fashion sets to introduce. This will optimize the time to choose and coordinate for the girls, and at the same time give her great suggestions to vary with familiar office items. In the case of too lazy to choose clothes or have ideas, she wears the safest set of clothes that is the best for the workplace, which is the whole set of vests. The vest along with the skirt is always an outfit that scores 10 in terms of politeness, a bold breath of an office lady, and almost no minus points. This outfit is only a bit inconvenient if worn in hot weather. Because of that, she should prioritize choosing this set for cool-climate days, especially on days with important events. Continuing to be an interesting suggestion for lazy girls. Instead of trying to match the color of the items she owns, she can completely wear a single color set when she goes to work. This is not boring, but on the contrary, the monochrome set will make her look more impressive and stylish than when wearing normal clothes. MARC’s suggestion is that she should choose either white or black, these two basic colors are impressive enough in the office environment. The pencil skirt is effective but does not always make the wearer feel comfortable, especially when moving, so MARC suggests that sometimes she should try switching to the midi skirt. The way the shirt and skirt are combined makes her fashion style somewhat feminine, especially this outfit is the ideal choice for the ladies. Girls who are not confident with their feet can also choose this method to conceal leg defects.

James Oglethorpe was born at Westminster, England, on June 1st, 1689. While he was yet a babe in the cradle it might have been expected that he would become a great man, for he came of a family of great people. Six hundred years before he was born, one of his ancestors, Sheriff Oglethorpe, was a high officer in the English army and was killed in the famous Battle of Hastings while bravely fighting for his country against the invader, William the Conqueror. This brave soldier had many distinguished descendants, the greatest of whom was James Oglethorpe. James’s father. Sir Theophilus Oglethorpe, also was a noted officer in the English army. He fought with great valor in many battles and rose to the high rank of Major-General. When he was forty years old, he retired from the army and settled down in an elegant home in the little country town of Godalming, about thirty miles from London. He lived in great affluence with his family, and his children had the best educational advantages that could be obtained in Europe in that day. James’s mother was a Scotch-Irish lady of fine family and of good education. She was counted one of the cleverest and shrewdest English women of her day. She was one of the Ladies of the Court to “Good Queen Anne” and was a leader in society and a power in politics. She was a woman of strong will and no doubt had great influence in forming the character of her distinguished son. James grew to be a tall, lithe, handsome youth, quiet mannered, good natured, and high spirited. Here is a story that illustrates both his good nature and his high spirits: When a youth of seventeen, while on a visit to Paris, he was invited to dine in company with a number of distinguished niilitary men. He sat at the table by the side of the Prince of Wurtemberg, an officer of high rank and a noted society man. The prince, thinking to have some fun at young Oglethorpe’s expense, by a dexterous twirl of his glass flipped some drops of wine into his face. The prank was noticed by the company, and a smile went round the table. Young Oglethorpe did not relish being made a butt of ridicule, even by so great a man as the Prince of Wurtemberg, but he kept his temper. With a smile on his lips he said, in polite French, “Well done, prince; but we do it even better than that in England,” whereupon he dashed a whole glass of wine full into the prince’s face. The prince flushed with rage and it looked as if the affair would end in a serious difficulty, but an old officer on the other side of the table quickly exclaimed, “Come now, prince, don’t get angry; it was rightly done by the youngster; yon started it!” Then the prince joined the others in a hearty laugh and the incident passed off pleasantly. Oglethorpe was educated at a military school, and before he was twenty he joined the English army. He served with the rank of ensign under the great Duke of Marlborough in The Duke of Marlborough, the Flanders War. After the war was over, he withdrew from the army and attended college for a year or two, but he was a born soldier and did not like the “weak, piping times of peace.” As England had no wars to fight at that time, he went over to the Continent and joined the Austrian army, which was then engaged in a war with the Turks. The leader of the Austrian army was Prince Eugene of Savoy, the most brilhant soldier of his day. He was a small man but a great general, “a bright little soul with a flash in him as of heaven’s own lightning,” as Carlyle, the famous English writer, said of him. Prince Eugene took a very decided liking to }oung Oglethorpe and Prince Eugene of Savoy. made him his aide-de-camp, with the rank of Captain. By the side of this “bright little soul with a flash in him as of heaven’s own lightning,” Oglethorpe thoroughly learned the soldier’s trade and fought with dashing valor in many desperate battles. These were his romantic days, and he always loved to talk about them. When he was an old, old man, nearly a hundred years old, he would charm brilliant company with his vivid descriptions of the battles in which he had fought by the side of Prince Eugene. When the Turkish war was over, he returned to England and settled down to ways of peace. His father and elder brothers died, and he inherited the family estates. He was now a very rich man, but he lived a simple and sober life. He was elected to Parliament and served as a member for many years. While he was in Parliament, an event occurred that The Houses of Parliament, turned his attention toward America and caused him to become the founder of Georgia. This is how it happened: There was a cruel law in England at that time by which a person in debt might be thrown into prison by his creditors and kept there until his debts were somehow paid. Many poor, unfortunate people, innocent of any crime, languished in these debtors’ pris’ons. Oglethorpe had a dear friend, a Mr. Robert Castell, who was a scholar and an artist. He wrote a fine book on architecture, which he illustrated with splendid pictures drawn by. his own hand. He was so much taken up with writing the book that he neglected his business affairs, and when the book was published instead of making money for him it brought him heavily in debt, and he was condemned to be cast into the debtors’ prison. In the prison to which he was assigned, smallpox was at that time raging, and he had never had the disease. He begged the prison keeper, a heartless wretch by the name of Bambridge, to let him lie in the common jail until the prison should be freed of the smallpox or until his friends could arrange to pay his debts for him, which he was sure would be done in the course of a few months. Bambridge agreed to do so if Castell would pay him down in cash a certain sum of money as a bribe, but poor Castell bad not the money, so he was thrown into the small-pox-infested prison, where he soon contracted the disease; and after a few days’ suffering he died an awful death, leaving his wife and little children poverty stricken and helpless. When Oglethorpe heard of this outrage his blood boiled with indignation. He at once introduced a bill in Parliament to have a committee appointed to examine the prisons of England and bring about a reform in their management. The bill was passed, Oglethorpe was made Chairman of the Committee, and, with the other members, he spent several months visiting the prisons. He found in them many practices of shocking cruelty, all of which were immediately abolished. II. Oglethorpe’s Georgia colony enterprise. If Oglethorpe had done nothing more than bring about this reform, he would deserve the lasting gratitude of humanity, but he did not stop at this. While visiting the prisons his sympathies were deeply aroused for the poor debtors whom he found languishing behind iron bars, though innocent of any crime. He determined to try to do something to help them out of their sad condition. By his earnest appeals he got Parliament to pass a law by which they might be set free, provided they would agree to go to America and establish there for England a new colony on a broad strip of unsettled country already claimed by her, south of the Savannah River. It lay next to Florida, which then belonged to Spain and had been colonized by her. The Spaniards were at that time one of the most pow^erful and warlike nations in the world, and in their hearts they were very hostile to the English, although not openly at war with them. The Spanish soldiers were bold, skillful, and heartless; so much so that some one said of them, *’A Spanish soldier is a machine of steel with the devil inside of it!” Fortunately for Oglethorpe’s enterprise, King George II of England was anxious to plant colonies in his unoccupied possessions south of the Savannah River as a protection for South Carolina against the bold and unscrupulous Spaniards of Florida. So he gladly granted to Oglethorpe “for the use of debtors and other poor persons” all the country between the Savannah and the Altamaha Rivers, and as far westward as they might choose to go. This strip of country was named Georgia in honor of King George. A Board of Trustees, consisting of thirty-six members, among whom were some of the most distinguished men in England, was appointed by the King to have entire charge of planting, establishing, and governing the new colony. They were to serve without pay or compensation of any sort. It must be purely a labor of love with them. The good and great Lord Perceval was president of the Board, and Oglethorpe was one of the members. The Trustees set about raising money to pay the cost of establishing the colony, for the poor people who were to go were not able to pay any part of their own expenses. Parliament made quite a liberal appropriation for the purpose, and a larger amount still was raised by public subscription from benevolent people in all parts of England. Altogether, the Trustees soon had in hand $150,000, which was sufficient to establish a small colony. At one of the meetings of the Trustees it was suggested that some member of the Board, a man of education and ability, should go over to America with the first colonists as their Governor and live in Georgia with them until they were well and thoroughly established. Oglethorpe nobly volunteered to go, and the Trustees were delighted. In undertaking this trying service, Oglethorpe would have to give up his luxurious home, the pleasures of refined society, and the splendid public career that was fast opening to him in England and would have to endure untold hardships, privations, and dangers; and from it all he had nothing, in a worldly sense, to gain for himself. The Trustees had chosen as the official seal of the Board a group of silk worms spinning their cocoons and, written underneath, the noble motto, “Non sibi sed aliis!”* “Not for themselves but for others !” As those of you who have studied Latin know, the word sibi may also be correctly translated himself. The motto truly expressed the spirit of Oglethorpe in volunteering to go on this trying expedition, “Noji sibi sed aliis!” “Not for himself but for others !” He was at this time forty-three years old and was yet unmarried. So far as we know, he had never had a sweetheart. Perhaps he was so busy that he had never had time to fall in love ! When it was known that the great and good Oglethorpe himself would accompany the expedition, hundreds and hundreds of poor people, debtors and others, were anxious to go, but only a few could be taken. Out of the hundreds of applicants, the Trustees carefully selected forty strong, healthy men of good morals and with small families. All together, men, women, and children, the party consisted of one hundred and twenty souls. Many poor wretches who begged to go had to be turned away with tears in their eyes and bitter disappointment in their hearts. The good ship Anne, a sailing vessel of two hundred tons burden, was chartered to take the emigrants across the ocean to America. In her hold, as she lay moored to the wharf at Gravesend, were stored provisions and all kinds of tools and implements for the journey and for getting the colony well established in Georgia. Everything was then ready for the voyage. * The original of this famous seal is in the British Museum, London. A few years ago a wax impression of it was obtained from the curator of the Museum by the Oglethorpe Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, at Columbus. It is the only copy extant in America.

Hence, whoever the responsibility is bestowed on cannot have any type of professional shortcomings as this could affect the quality of their work. Hence, before you select a wedding photographer or two, you’ll need to sit down for a Q&;A session with them. Call it an interview, to determine if they’re in the best capacity to materialize your visions. Here are the most important questions to ask them. These questions will be grouped under certain factors. Before you even see the portfolio of the wedding photographer you’re interviewing, you should ask if they’re available to work on your wedding day at the slated time with questions like: *Is my wedding day available? *How many events do you have scheduled the same weekend? *Do you have assistants? *Would you be personally covering my wedding or you’ll outsource to your staff? By answering these questions, the wedding photographer informs you of what your expectations should be on the said day. 2. Background check You want someone with not just the experience but the skill set as well and this is where you find out answers. Remember, never compromise in quality. *How much experience do you have with shooting weddings? *Have you ever covered a wedding with a similar style to the one I’m planning? *What’s the largest sized wedding you’ve covered? *Galleries to match your claim? This is where you’ll figure out if the photographer is the best match for your wedding style and size. 3. Style and equipment You need a photographer who’ll bring your visions to life and these questions will help you decipher their capabilities in that aspect. *What are the best gadgets in your flock? *How would you describe your style of photography? *Do you prefer to work invisibly or by highlighting your presence? *Digital or film? You have a wedding photography budget and here’s how you find out if the applicant can work with that. *What are the different packages you offer and how much are they? *Do you charge hourly or by package? *Do you offer photo booths or retouching services? *Can you travel? How much would the logistics cost? *Rights and reservations? Weddings aren’t a one size fits all kind of event and every one is unique. Photos commemorate the event and a wedding photographer is an essential part of that. Thus, with the above- categorized questions, you can eliminate all photography contenders until you find the best match for your wedding day.

Refernce Ticket Id: https://care.ginesys.in/a/tickets/205563 Issue- User is unable to add/edit factor/sign in charges at the time of document creation/modification. Reason - The client has disabled the option "Allow change of purchase term as flown from master" under Procurement in the user profile because he does not want the user to change the term once selected. Anlaysis- In user profile > Procurement, we have recently in last one year introduced one new check: Allow Purchase/procurement Term change as flows from the master [Check/Uncheck] Purpose of introducing this check was to enable user with the provision to allow modifying Factor and Ledgers for GST charges, because GST charge is a system charge and option of allow modification in transaction is hardcoded disallowed unlike Non GST charges. But during release, we have some how restricted the modification of Non-GST charges also based on Term check in profile. This is causing issue at client's end, because round off and rate diff charges need to manually modified during transaction. Proposed Solution- Do not check Purchase term from profile for Non-GST charges. (Follow behaviour as in S&D) Detailed CR is attached in internal comment section for reference.

Manchester City star, Bernardo Silva, has sent a warning to Arsenal that his team will not relinquish control of the Premier League title race after dealing a blow to the Gunners. “We aren’t going to be complacent about the title,” Silva said at his post-match press conference after Man City defeated Arsenal. “We are going to take this job very seriously and try to win every game, now focused on Fulham away, which is a tough game. “If we don’t beat Fulham, we put ourselves in a difficult position to win the Premier League. “I remember in my second season we were ten points behind Liverpool as well and we beat them to win the title.”

Sunday, August 30, 2009 With Japan having general elections today and Germany facing them next month, I though now might be as good a time as any to have a look at a topic which could turn out to be very important in the months to come: the real underlying rate of unemployment in both these countries. While the present focus of most press attention is on the fact that GDP in Germany and Japan nudged upwards between April and June (over Q1), we should never forget that this increase follows substantial falls in output. Japan’s real GDP fell at a record pace in Q4 2008 and Q1 2009 (annualized declines of 13.5% and 14.2%, respectively), and German GDP fell by a quarterly 3.5 percent in Q1 and an annual 6.7% - making for the fourth consecutive quarter of negative growth. In both cases the fall in output was accompanied by only a much more moderate decline in employment. Part of the explanation for this recent return of both economies to growth lies in the fact that both countries have very substantial stimulus and employment protection programmes in place, and these to some extent mask the extent of the output slump. At the same time both countries have been in run up periods to national elections, while both of them have rapidly ageing populations, rising health and welfare costs and steadily deteriorating gross debt to GDP positions. It is therefore highly likely that the positive stimulus programmes will wane somewhat after October as both governments are forced to move from very expansionary fiscal positions, to more or less "belt tightening" ones, and the big issue which lies in front is estimating just how far the respective labour markets can deteriorate in the two countries as a result. Fortunately analysts at Nomura (for Japan) and Societe Generale (for Germany) have recently produced what are very timely studies which help us get a better appreciation of the true underlying situation. Japan's Sruggles To Raise Exports In The Face Of Tepid Domestic Demand Apart from the temporary relief which came from a headline GDP growth reading in the second quarter, the news coming out of Japan at the moment is almost uniformly bad. The unemployment rate is now at a record high, raising even more doubts about the real sustainability of the recent economic recovery. The jobless rate rose to a worse than expected 5.7 per cent in July, up from 5.4 per cent in June. By Spanish or Latvian standards this may seem very tame, but if you take into account the extent of government subsidised "hidden unemployment" the true underlying rate may be nearer 12 or 13%, or at least this is what analysts at Nomura (see below) have recently been arguing. In addition, Japanese core consumer prices fell at the fastest annual pace on record in again in July, potentially putting pressure on a reluctant Bank of Japan to rein in deepening deflation. Core consumer prices - the bank of Japan's preferred measure - which exclude volatile fresh food prices but include oil costs, fell 2.2% in the year to July. Average monthly Japanese household spending fell in July by a price adjusted 2.0 percent from a year earlier to 285,078 yen, down for the first time in three months, while Japan’s July exports fell 1.3 per cent on a seasonally adjusted basis from June, a real big deal this in a country whose economy is almost entirely dependent on exports. Shipments in July fell 36.5 per cent by value year on year, outpacing the 35.7 per cent decline in June. Under the Japanese employment protection scheme, the government pays two thirds of the wages of workers in certain specified situations. As of June 2009, some 2.383mn workers had applied for employment adjustment subsidies for 2009 onward (see chart). Although only 1.891mn had been approved as of June, Nomura expect this figure to eventually rise closer to the number of applicants. In order to try to get a measure of the impact of this scheme on the unemployment level the Nomura analysts did a number of tests, and found that when indexing the number of those employed and real GDP to the output peak of Q4 2007 there was a considerable gap between the output adjustment and the employment one. Based on a simple calculation which assumed this "gap" to offer a good proxy for the amount of “hidden underemployment”, they arrived at a figure for “hidden jobless” in Q1 2009 of 4.7m. This number is far higher than the June unemployment figure of 3.48m. If the hidden jobless are included together with the registered “unemployed”, they calculate that the unemployment rate would have leapt from 5.4% to 12.2%. This chart below shows estimates made by the Nomura analysts of the extent of hidden joblessness during previous economic downturns. In the majority of cases the number of hidden jobless did not rise at all, or employment fell by more than GDP did, suggesting that employment adjustments were quite swift. They did find, however that there was a comparatively large rise in the numbers of hidden jobless in Q4 1973, triggered by the first oil shock and in Q2 1997, following the Asian currency crisis, problems in the Japanese financial system and a consumption tax hike. The number of hidden jobless, estimated at about 4.7m in Q1 2009, seems to be well above the figures associated with these two earier downturns. However, as the Nomura analysts point out, even if the difficult labour market conditions are not fully reflected in the unemployment figures, a deterioration in adjusted labor supply-demand could easily lead to major declines in wages even while companies keep the number of hidden jobless down by means of government support. In fact, according to Nomura it would be hard to explain the fact that the decline in wages (total cash earnings of full-time employees) in H1 2009, at 4.7% y-o-y, was far bigger than the equivalent declines in annual average wages of 2.3% in 2002 and 0.4% in 2003, when unemployment also reached new highs, if you don't take the hidden jobless factor into account (see chart). Thus the resulting pressure on wages and household income could easily become a serious impediment to any genuine fully fledged economic recovery. As of June 2009, payments under the government's subsidy scheme for employment adjustment totalled ¥101.14bn. If the number of approvals grows to meet the number of applicants, Nomura estimate total payments will increase to ¥127.42bn, placing additional strain on fiscal finances. The Nomura analysts argue that dividing the cost of the hidden jobless and in-house unemployed between companies, households and government could well represent a major policy challenge for the new Japanese administration when it assumes office. Given the seriousness of the social and political problems that result from sharp rises in unemployment, it is quite possible the next Japanese government will strengthen the employment adjustment subsidy scheme by, for example, further relaxing its terms and conditions, and it is rather unlikely to try to limit the number of eligible cases by tightening conditions. The net upshot of this, will, of course, be a further deterioration in Japan's gross debt to GDP position. Given this, and despite the distortions being produced by the huge number of hidden jobless, Nomura think the unemployment rate is unlikely to be allowed to rise too far beyond 6.0%. We will see. And Germany Does The Same Despite some small improvement in headline GDP numbers, the great German job machine effectively ran out of steam last autumn, and since that time the German economy has been adding jobs at an ever slower pace. Now the rate of job creation has turned negative, and less Germans are employed every month than they were a year earlier. German unemployment rose again in July. The number of people out of work increased 52,000 to 3.46 million on an unadjusted basis. The seasonally adjusted total actually fell by 6,000, according to the statistics office due to statistical changes. Without the impact of the changes, the office estimates unemployment rose by 30,000. German unemployment began to increase in November after falling steadily for more than three years. The seasonally adjusted jobless rate was unchanged at 8.3 percent in July. Analysts at Societe Generale, have examined the case of the German employment protection programme, and point out that while official unemployment in Germany has in fact only risen moderately in the current recession the underlying real effective rate is much higher. The unemployment rate (using the ILO measure) has risen by just 0.6ppt from its 7.1% low in Q4 2008, while in the euro area as a whole, the rate is up by 2.2ppt to 9.4% from its March 2008 low of 7.2%. As they say, it is also quite clear that this relative stability owes much to the widely-used practice of so called short-time working (Kurzarbeit). The Societe Generale interpretation is broadly supported by survey evidence which suggests that the rate of contraction in employment has eased, suggesting there will be an even slower increase in unemployment in coming months. For example, the employment component of the PMI survey in manufacturing industry rose to 37.9 in July from a low of 32.9 in April, and in the services sector to 49.0 from a low of 45.2 in May. Employment intentions (in the European Commission survey) have also come off the lows in all sectors, but still remain in negative territory, implying further job losses. This evidence tallies with other recent evidence from official unemployment data, which show unemployment up by an average of 8,000 per month in May-July, a big shift downward from the average monthly increases of nearly 60,000 in Q1. This level of improvement will, according to Societe Generale not be sustained, although they do not expect to see a return to the pace of unemployment gains witnessed earlier this year. Of course, as SocGen point out, company employment intentions could easily deteriorate again if growth expectations get revised down, but for the nearer term, the evidence suggests that unemployment in Germany will rise at slower rates than observed earlier this year. On the other hand they also underline that such short-time working arrangements evidently have a "sell by" date, and can't run forever. As a result there is some concern that a major increase in unemployment in Germany is merely a matter of time. In fact the Societe Generale analysts are not that convinced by this line of argument, since they think that German legislation has already extended the period for which companies can run short-time working from 18 to 24 months. Examining in detail the evolution of the numbers on short-time working they find that the vast majority of companies only resorted to the programme in the very recent past, so that the 24 month limit will not bite until late-2010. Until the turn of the year 2008/09, the recourse to short-time working was very small indeed. Aside from the seasonal increases in the first quarters of 2007 and 2008, the numbers were small at around 50,000. To put the number in context, they point out that this represents 0.1% of the labour force and is equivalent to the monthly gains in unemployment that were recorded this year. Since then, the numbers resorting to the programme have indeed exploded and by March of this year (the latest available data), there were 1.3 million workers with shortened hours, and this number has probably now risen to around 1.4 million. These are clearly big numbers, amounting to about 3% of the labour force. If they were added to unemployment figures, total unemployment would rise to the previous historic peaks of around 5 million. However, given that this increase only began in the final two months of 2008, these schemes could easily run for another 18 months, at least as far as the administrative rules are concerned. Whether the German fiscal position will allow this once the new government is installed is another question entirely. Indeed, according to an article in the Financial Times last week, Germany faces a potential wave of corporate restructurings just after the elections, restructurings which will involve substantial job losses and which have not been announced previously due to the existence of an implicit "pact" not to announce big job cuts ahead of the September 27 ballot. We will, as they say, see the proof of the pudding here in the ultimate eating, but levels of German fiscal support at the present level cannot run for that long unchecked after the election results are announced. Monday, August 24, 2009 In this post I would just like to ask a very simple question. What is the real rate of growth of unemployment in Spain? Are things improving, getting worse, or simply staying the same? Now, before you jump to too many conclusions on this it is important to remember that in the world of economic analysis there are lies, damn lies, and then there are press releases. So if you read in the headlines in your paper recently that the number of jobless in Spain fell by 20,794 in July after a 55,250 decline in June (cutting the total number of unemployment benefit claimants to 3.54 million), you might like - bearing in mind what I have just said - to ask yourself what else could lie behind such statistics? Well, if you look at some of the more informed commentary - say Reuters writer Paul Day - you will also note the little detail that "A huge public works programme in Spain slowed further layoffs in the beleaguered construction sector and helped unemployment claims to fall for the third straight month" - as a result of which the picture you have in your head may start change. In fact, in the first six months of 2009, the Spanish government poured some 5 billion euros into local infrastructure projects as part of a total state-funded public works package worth up to 11 billion euros. Then you might notice the quote from PNB Paribas's Diego Fernandez -"'Keep in mind these figures are distorted by the fact that people taking state funded, back-to-work training courses are not counted" But there is another little detail you should never forget, particularly in a country that has a lots of seasonally related employment, like construction, agricultur and tourism, and that is the lack of seasonal adjustment in the data. It is normal for unemployment to weaken somewhat in the summer. So if we look at the Eurostat data - scandalously Spain doesn't give a monthly unemployment rate to the public, and much less a seasonally adjusted one - we find that unemployment has gone up steadily from month to month, even if the rate of increase has weakened. The number of unemployed has now gone up every month since May 2007 in my Eurostat datasheet. That is 27 consecutive months of increase. And just wait till we get to the autumn! All of this is very curious, since the way the Spanish National Statistics agency report data to Eurostat, and how they adjust it, remains something of a mystery to me. The June published rate of unemployment is 18.1%. In fact the unemployment number shot up rapidly in the employment survey in March - to a then published 17.4% (source Reuters). This surge surprised me greatly at the time, since I could see no reaon why it should exist looking at the underlying speed of the economic contraction. I even contacted reseachers in the Bank of Spain -via a friend - to ask whether there had been some seasonal correction or something, and received the following reply: "Los datos de la EPA no se revisan. El INE hace una encuesta posterior para evaluar la calidad de la EPA, pero no hay revisiones. El incremento de las cifras del paro es muy preocupante, sobre todo porque pasaran varios trimestres hasta que se estabilicen. Y las cifras de paro registrado no contradicen en nada a las de la EPA." (Basically, the survey data is not subsequently revised). Which is very very strange, since the data which are supplied monthly to Eurostat are being continually revised with every passing month at the moment (first up in March, and then down again, the current March reading is 17.2%), which is very acceptable, since seasonal corrections must be difficult at the moment, but it would be nice to have an explanation, since otherwise we might be lead to think that the EPA numbers shot up in March so the INEM numbers for April and May would come down, which they did. And those of us with really bad minds would remember that there were European elections in June. It would be ridiculous to suggest that these numbers were being massaged simply to give the impression unemployment was coming down, wouldn't it? But as I say, the underlying seasonal trend as reported to Eurostat (but not revealed to voters in Spain) have continued to climb. Only in a country where the generally understanding of statistics is low could this happen, and pass un-noticed. On the other hand, the rate of annual increase in the INEM numbers is definitely slowing - or if you prefer the second derivative has turned south, and the annual rate of increase has fallen back from a peak of 56.69 in March to 46% in July - which is hardly surprising since unemployment cannot go up exponentiallly (or there would soon be no one left working) and is also what you would expect to find when manufacturing is contracting less slowly, and significant numbers of people are being employed on public works or going on training courses. So the fact of the matter is, that the latest good data we have for Spain are the June unemployment data (supplied to Eurostat based on the EPA) which showed 4.186 million out of work, and an unemployment rate of 18.1%. And unemployment is rising every month, and that is the sorry and woeful tale of Spanish unemployment at the moment. That and my forecast that, if nothing is done to stop the runaway contraction, unemployment could be up and hitting the 30% mark come December 2010. 25% before Easter 2010 is now a done deal as far as I am concerned, and we will probably break the 20% psychological threshold in October or November of this year. Sunday, August 23, 2009 "The banking sector in South Africa has insubstantial leverage and did not enter in to excessively risky lending practices that were the hallmarks of the credit-boom days. However, South Africa’s Current Account Deficit remains wide and its ability to service its short-term debt is on the wrong side of comfortable. These factors, along with the size of the banking sector in relation to that of other emerging markets, would bring unwelcome attention to the economy in the event of a deterioration of global risk sentiment (perhaps precipitated by a sovereign debt crisis elsewhere in the world)."Summary Simon White - Variant Perception As was expected by most analysts, South Africa's GDP shrank in the second quarter of this year at an annualised rate (q/q saar) of 3% over the first quarter (which represents an actual seasonally adjusted shrinkage of 0.75%) as comparted to the 6.4% rate (1.6% actual) seen in the first three months of the year. The improvement in GDP was largely due to better performance in mining, manufacturing and the energy sector. Activity declined 2.8% year on year from the 1.3% drop recorded in Q1 2009. Agriculture was a serious disappointment, with a 17% (q/q saar) from a 2%(q/q saar) drop in Q1. Evidently the pace of decline is easing, manily due to expansionary fiscal measures and an increasingly accommodative monetary policy and in part to the impact of what have become colloquially known as global green shoots (that is demand stimulus from other countries). The figure is unlikely to significantly influence interest rate decisions next going foward as it was broadly in line with consensus expectations, and was effectively factored in at the last RBSA monetary policy meeting. Going forward, downside surprises on inflation and continued weakness on real economy could potentially lead the Reserve Bank to further reduce interest rates. The Analyst View Cees Bruggemans, First National Bank: "Q3 2009 will be a transition quarter, between the recession proper (4Q2008 and 1H2009) and the recovery proper in GDP growth (Q4 2009).Interest rate-sensitive sectors should benefit from the cumulative 500 point interest rate easing since December 2008." (18 August, 2009) Danelee van Dyke, Standard Bank: "The prospects for rejuvenation in depleted inventory levels, a catalyst for a rebound in production should bolster the economy’s growth potential in the second half of the year." (18 August 2009) South Africa's economic performance has steadily been strengthening recent years, with real GDP growing at an annual average rate of 4.6 percent in the years between 2005 and 2008. Inflation had declined to mid-single digits and employment had been growing steadily. Growth in recent years has been driven by strong domestic demand, with private consumption and investment spending supported by robust consumer and business sentiment. Household consumption was also boosted by growing disposable income, rising employment, and wealth effects from rising asset prices until late 2007. However, 2008 saw a slowdown in activity reflecting the cumulative impact of electricity power shortages, the global slowdown, and a policy of monetary tightening. Real GDP growth slowed to 3 percent as the country entered recession.The deceleration in the pace of growth is clearly seen in the in the evolution of the Reserve Banks preferred measure of money supply (M3, see chart below which comes from the RBSA) with increases slowing sunstantially after Q4 2007, but with the slowdown clearly deepening in early 2009. Twelve-month growth in M3 decelerated from 14.8 per cent in December 2008 to 10.6 per cent in March 2009 and further to 8,5 per cent in April. On a quarter-to-quarter3 basis, M3 growth amounted to 4,1 per cent in the first quarter of 2009; down from 15,1 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2008. Comparing this year's first half with that of last year, the economy is down only 2%. It is expected to stabilise next quarter, and move back into growth by the fourth quarter, making it unlikely that the full-year decline will be as bad as the 2% plus that more pessimistic economists had predicted. Excluding the volatile agriculture and mining sectors the economy actually improved by as much as four percentage points to minus 2.4% in the second quarter from minus 6.2% in the first quarter. Construction, government and personal services (such as healthcare) carried what growth there was, and export-oriented sectors of mining and manufacturing did better than in the previous quarter. But the big disappointment was the retail and wholesale trade sector, which did far worse than expected and the decline accelerated to 4.5% in the second quarter from 2,5% in the first. The manufacturing sector continued to contract in the second quarter, but the 10.9% drop should be seen against the first quarter's steep slump of 22%. The financial sector also contracted again, by about 2.5%. Mining expanded 5,5% after the first quarter's 32% fall as it started to benefit from better commodity prices. Unemployment Continues to Be A Major Problem South Africa's unemployment rate increased very slightly - to 23.6% in the second quarter from 23.5% in the first quarter of 2009 - what is perhaps surprising is that this was despite the fact that 267 000 lost their jobs during the quarter. Part of the explanation for this is that the number of discouraged work seekers rose by 302 000. Had that number been added to the unemployment total, the result would have been an unemployment rate of more like 29.7% (compared to an equivalent calculation of 28.4% in Q1 2009). Most importantly, the latest rise takes the total number of discouraged workers to 1.5 million from 1.1 million in Q2 2008. As a result the number of people who are not economically active in the working age range increased to 13.58 million, from 12.86 million in Q2 2008 with the consequence that the economically inactive population, of which discouraged workers form 11.2%, is currently larger the employed workforce and almost one and-a-half times the size of those in formal employment. Retail Sales Continue To Fall Price adjusted retail sales decreased in June by an annual 6.7% following a 4.4% drop in May. For the three months to June, sales contracted by 6% relative to the corresponding period a year earlier . Anxiety about job security, comparatively high levels of household debt, still high inflation which is still relatively high and a low level of consumer confidence are the likely reasons for the negative growth in real retail sales and this may well continuer for most of 2009. Ultimately declining interest rates, lower inflation and improved household balance sheets should see a recovery in retail sales in early 2010. The household debt-to-disposable income ratio continued to rise in the first three months of the year - if only marginally to 76.7% from 76.3% in the last quarter of 2008 - implying that financial strain on households remained significant. Debt consolidation should gain traction during the second half of the year, when the debt service cost-to-income ratio falls to around 8% from its current level of 10.9%, at the same time as lower inflation frees up some additional cash in the household sector. While Manufacturing Struggles Although the final result was not as bad as many expected, manufacturing production still fell by an annual 17.1% in June, little changed from the downwardly revised 17.2% contraction in May. South African industry still appears to be in the throes of an inventory stockpiles rundown. Iron and steel were down 24.3%, the automotive sector 32.8%, and petroleum and chemicals were down 14.7% . Output did increase by a miniscule 0.1% seasonally adjusted setween May and June, but more to the point the rate of contraction in production did slow down significantly in the second quarter, showing minus 3% q/q s.a. as compared wuth minus 6.9% q/q s.a. in Q1. Encouragingly, electricity consumption, often a useful indicator of economic activity, rose in June by 1% over may (s.a.) and by 2.9% (s.a.) in Q2 over Q1, which would seem to confirm that the recession eased markedly in Q2. The latest manufacturing purchasing managers index reading, however, did not give as much grounds for optimism as might have been hoped for, since the PMI weakened in July to 37.3 from 37.9 in June following two consecutive monthly gains, suggesting the rate of contraction in manufacturing activity accelerated again, even if only slightly. The weakening was pretty broadbased, with business activity, new sales orders, suppliers performances and input prices falling in the month. In fact South Africa’s manufacturing PMI seems to be lagging the PMIs of the country's major exporting partners (US, Germany, Japan and UK) by two-to-six months. While these economies reached the troughs in their PMIs between November 2008 and February 2009, their PMIs have rebounded nearly seven times as much as the South Africa one, since hitting their respective troughs. This suggests that by October the decline in production could be over and out of the system, provided that is that the slow but steady recovery in the three above mentioned economies continues, which is far from guaranteed. Inflation Still A Problem The inflation measure targeted by the South African Reserve Bank until the end of 2008 was the consumer price index excluding mortgage interest costs for metropolitan and other urban areas (CPIX). The year-on-year inflation rate as measured by CPIX peaked at 13.6 per cent in August 2008 and then declined continuously to 10.3 per cent in December. According to the central bank the main drivers of inflation during the last quarter of 2008 were food prices, fuel and power (electricity prices), and transport (petrol prices). Average CPIX inflation for the calendar year 2008 was 11.3 per cent. Since the release of the January 2009 CPI data, the targeted inflation measure has been the headline CPI (CPI for all urban areas). This new CPI includes a number of changes of methodology when compared to the previous CPI. The year-on-year CPI inflation rate was 8. 1 per cent in January 2009. It then rose to 8.6 per cent in February before declining marginally to 8.5 per cent in March (Figure 1). Inflation in the first quarter of the year was driven mainly by increases in food prices, alcoholic beverages, household maintenance and repair, electricity, and in financial services. Since that time the inflation rate has fallen back slightly - from 8.0 per cent in May 2009 to 6.9 per cent in June - but given the extended recession and the low levels of capacity utilisation this rate is still noteworthy for its size. One of the underlying problems is evidently still the rate of administered price inflation, which (excluding petrol prices) was running at 9.1 per cent in June, with electricity prices increasing by 28.6 per cent. Producer prices, on the other hand, do show the impavt of the fall in energy prices and the economic slowdown, since they declined at a year-on-year rate of 4.1 per cent in June, compared with a decline of 3.0 per cent in May. Prices of mining and chemical products were the main contributors to this trend, but there was also further moderation in food price inflation. Interest Rates In A Bind Basically, having headline CPI inflation still running at 6.9 percent is something of a headache for the central bank, since given the recession they would evidently like to ease more (which would also help take some of the upward momentum out of the Rand), but the bank will be wary of going too far, given the extent to which its credibility will be under test. South Africa’s central bank unexpectedly cut its benchmark interest rate by half a percentage point, the sixth reduction since December, to curtail the economy’s first recession in 17 years. The repurchase rate was lowered to 7 percent. Governor Tito Mboweni said in a televised statement after the monetary policy meeting that the decision to reduce rates had been a “very closely debated one”, and it seems unlikely that further rate cuts will follow rapidly. Carry Trade Monetary Policy Dilema The problem is that the central bank is on the horns of a real and very important dilema here, as it struggles to apply text book inflation targeting monetary policy in times which are most definitely not of the text book variety. One of the issues is that interest rates which are set high to contain inflation can often have the perverse effect of attracting fund flows which are drawn by the yield differential, and the expectation of further currency appreciation (among other things South Africa's is a commodity producing economy) - and the swift reversal of the fund outflows witnessed last winter (see chart below) gives some hint that this kind of counter intuitive effect may now be at work in South Africa. Thus South Africa’s rand, despite the current severe recession, has in fact been the second best-performing currency, after Brazil, across the globe this year. But is this impressive performance of the ZAR supported by the underlying macro fundamentals? Negative growth, depressed confidence and steadily rising unemployment certainly do not make it look like it is. The rand appreciated the most in a month against the dollar last week - maintaining its first weekly advance since July 24 - on the back of consensus feeling the global economy is moving out of recession, increasing appetite for high-yielding assets. On Friday (August 21) the currency strengthened by as much as 1.9 percent to 7.7474 per dollar, its biggest intraday jump since July 20 and best level since Aug. 4. It was up 1.1 percent at 7.8139 per dollar as of 5:06 p.m. in Johannesburg, for an increase of 3.4 percent over the week. The rand has now climbed 21 percent against the dollar this year as benchmark interest rates fell to near zero in the U.S. and Europe compared with 7 percent in South Africa, making the South African currency a favorite for the so called carry-trades where investors borrow money in countries with low interest rates to invest in markets with higher returns. The rand offered the third-best carry-trade return of the 16 major currencies monitored by Bloomberg last week. Much of the ZAR move has been closely correlated with the return of investor risk appetite. One of the main catalysts for this has been the upside surprise from US economic data (as Varinat Perception's Simpon White put it the second derivative of the data turned positive while the second derivative of the consensus estimates remained in negative territory). Unsurprisingly, as Simon points out, there is a very good fit between ZAR and the Citigroup US Economic Surprise Index (this measures the degree of "surprise" in the data releases). This close relationship simply serves to emphasise the seductive power of emerging markets to investors – now wallowing in liquidity. In fact the ZAR has moved more closely with unexpectedly good US economic data than either the S&P or US 10y Treasury yields. This liquidity-driven geared-play on emerging markets is now a central part of the global recovery. A softening attitude to the prognosis for the South African economy is also reflected in risk spreads. Sovereign CDS continues to fall, approaching levels seen last summer, and the spread between South African and US 10y Treasury yields has returned to its average over the period late 2007 to the present. The stock market has also bounced back, and is so far up 36% from the trough. With the rally in equity markets that began on the 6th of March this year and on the 13th of July continued with renewed vigour, money inflows to South Africa began to recover after a sharp rout in the fourth quarter of 2008. In fact there was huge net outflow of portfolio flows in Q4 2008 which quickly reverted to a net inflow in Q1 2009. The current account deficit as a whole – perennially wide in South Africa - narrowed from a low of -8.8% of GDP last March to -5.8% in the last quarter of 2008, driven in part by falling import prices (primarily oil). More recently the deficit has widened again due to mining and manufacturing exports falling faster then imports. Further widening in the current account deficit from this source will likely be limited as the trade balance has recently improved somewhat (but due to falling demand for imports rather than an increase in export trade). On the positive side, the composition of South Africa’s relatively large current account deficit looks healthier than in previous years as net foreign direct investment has improved dramatically: it was over 100bn ZAR in 2008 compared to an average of close to zero in the preceding 3 years. The Liquidity-Driven Gearing-Play Is Certainly Bad For SA Exports With almost half of South Africa's goods exports destined for the US, Europe and Japan, the recession in the developed economies has naturally severely affected South Africa's trade performance. But with the real effective exchange rate of the rand also increasing - according to central bank data it was up by 4.9 percent between March 2008 and March 2009 - then evidently South Africa's exporters are facing a price competitiveness problem. So it is no surprise to find that the volume of goods exports was down at a 21 percent annualised rate in the first three months of 2009, and this on the back of a decrease of 6.3 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2008. Relative to real gross domestic product, the value of goods exports dropped from 20.8 per cent to 16.7 per cent during the first quarter. Although declines were noted in all major export categories, the decrease in the volume of manufactured exports was strongly related to the sharp contraction in manufacturing activity among SA's most important trading partner countries. In addition, the deceleration in the Chinese demand for raw materials used in production processes had a negative impact on South African mining products. As a result, it is understandable that the country's goods trade deficit was widening - from R19,6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008 to R53,4 billion in the first quarter of 2009. A trade deficit of similar magnitude was last recorded in the first quarter of 2008 as a result of the fact that the country experienced severe power outages. South Africa’s government is no so concerned about the situation that Economic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel warned last week that the current recession might irreparably erode the country’s manufacturing capacity. “We are deeply concerned about a permanent decline in productive capacity as factories close rather than simply reduce output,” Patel said to the South African Parliament, "Manufacturing output has been declining since mid-last year. It has now reached levels last seen some five years ago.” All of which naturally enough feeds directly through to the pretty substantial current acount deficit. Credit growth in the private sector has slowed subtantially, and while it still remains positive, it has now dropped from a 20.3 percent in the year ending in June 2008, to more like a 5% annual rate of increase in June 2009. Household debt rose slightly to a record level of 78.25 percent of disposable income by the first quarter of 2009. Pushed mainly by rising interest rates, household debt service has risen to about 11.25 percent of disposable income, but remains below historic highs. Total loans and advances extended to the private sector continued to decelerate in the first quarter of 2009. The deceleration was partly a consequence of the decline in income and deteriorating outlook for economic activity, restrictive credit conditions and the cumulative effect of the tighter monetary policy stance introduced since 2006. Growth over twelve months in total loans and advances extended to the private sector decelerated from 14.0 per cent in December 2008 to 7.3 per cent in March 2009, and further to 6.3 per cent in April. The annualised quarterly growth fell from 6.2 per cent in the final quarter of 2008 to a mere 0.1 per cent in the first quarter of 2009 – the lowest rate since the first quarter of 1966, when this rate was negative. Adjusted for inflation, loans and advances fave contracted significantly in recent quarters. With the exception of mortgage advances, all the other main credit categories contracted in the first quarter of 2009. Mortgage advances, which comprise about 52 per cent of total loans and advances, continued to rise, but their twelve-month growth rate decelerated from 13,2 per cent in December 2008 to 11,3 per cent in March 2009 and further to 10,6 per cent in April as stricter lending criteria and higher deposit requirements by the banking sector continued to dampen mortgage business, especially residential mortgages. Not surprisingly, given the economic and credit environment, South African house prices have been falling, and were down 4.2 percent in July from a year earlier, according to Absa Group Ltd., the country’s biggest mortgage lender. The average nominal house price dropped to 925,100 rand ($115,548). Prices fell 0.2 percent in the month, after declining 0.4 percent in June. After gaining 3.7 percent in 2008, house prices will probably fall between 3 percent and 3.5 percent this year, according to the Absa Group forecast. Twelve-month growth in instalment sale and leasing finance has also slowed noticeably and showed negative growth of 0.2 per cent in April 2009, largely reflecting the slump in sales of motor vehicles and other durable goods. Other loans and advances contracted for the second consecutive quarter in Q2. Twelve-month growth in other loans and advances decelerated from 17.9 per cent in December 2008 to 3.9 per cent in March 2009 and further to 2.8 per cent in April. Demographic Processes Favourable, But Massive Strain On The Labour Market Demographic processes are now very favourable to South Africa, as fertility declines, and the mdeian age of the population steadily rises, and more and more of the population are to be found in the working age ranges. This creates the favourable situation where the country can reap the benefits of what is known as the "demographic dividend", as the percentage of dependent population steadily falls. However, this process puts enormous pressure on the labour market, as more and more young people enter looking for work. As can be seen in the chart below, South Africa's working age population is increasing at a rate of 375,000 a year, or nearly 100,000 a quarter. That is a lot of jobs to find. But, as we can see in the next chart, due to the recession employment actually fell between Q4 2008 and Q1 2009, while over the course of Q2 2009 it more or less moved sideways. Little wonder there is such a large problem of "discouraged workers". The Immediate Future The current protracted recession is putting substantial pressure on the South African administration and is increasingly calling into question president Jacob Zuma's pledge in May to create half a million job opportunities by the end of 2009 through public-work programs. At the same time the deterioration in South Africa's labor market has both weighed on consumption and deteriorated the level of credit quality Economic growth is expected to return slowly - especially given the creit squeeze, which is of course reflected in the weak performance of retail sales. The economy is expected to contract by 0.3% this year by the IMF, but many expect the contraction to be nearer 1.5%. Standard Bank anticipates formal job losses totalling more than 400 000 in the current cycle and then -depending on the duration of the economic slump - further job losses which will evidently hamper economic growth. Such labour market trennds will also have negative knock-on effects on household spending and income growth. Soft labour market conditions could aggravate the current contraction in real disposable income growth, also affected by a sharp decline in bonus payments, operating hours, and lower property income, and this trend is likely to endure for at least another six months At the same time there will be growing pressure on the fiscal side. South Africa’s borrowing needs are likely to be double the government’s projection according to estimates from JPMorgan Chase & Co. They suggest government borrowing may surge to 183 billion rand ($22.4 billion) in the 2009-10 fiscal year to cover spending, compared with the forecast of 90.37 billion rand outlined in its February budget. If confirmed this would increase the budget deficit to 7.4 percent of gross domestic product, compared with a government forecast of 3.8 percent, she wrote. “The increased borrowing will be driven predominantly by a revenue shortfall rather than over-expenditure. The economic recession is taking a bigger toll on the fiscal position of South Africa than previously thought.”The national government fiscal balance moved into surplus (0.9 percent of GDP) in the financial year 2007/08, bringing the total government debt level down to around 28 percent of GDP. The surplus, the second in a row, reflected a large increase in tax revenue, owing to strong economic activity over most of the period and continued collection efforts. Total public debt, including obligations of public enterprises and local governments, dropped to about 35 percent of GDP. Sonja Keller, Johannesburg-based economist for JPMorgan Sonja Keller estimates that South Africa is likely to miss its 643 billion rand revenue-collection target by between 75 billion rand and 80 billion rand in the current fiscal year (forecasting the economy to shrink by 2 percent). Some confirmation of her view can be found in a recent statement of Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, who admitted the government may miss its target by as much as 60 billion rand this year. Pressure on public finances may come from higher wage settlements in the public sector, since civil servants look set to push government expenditure above the budgeted 738.6 billion rand by about 10 to 15 billion rand. South Africa’s government granted a 13 percent wage increase to about 125,000 striking municipal workers on July 31 to end a wage dispute. In conclusion I see four main downside risks in the South African Economy at the present tim: 1) The current account deficit. 2) The fiscal deficit 3) The overleveraging of South African households in the context of a weak labour market 4) The serious structural distortion which can be produced in South Africa's industrial and economic development by the kind of strong geering-related liquidity play to which the country is currently being subjected by the financial markets, since this is producing substantial distortions in relative pricing and in the country's real effective exchange rate, a factor which is critical for those contemplating long term serious greenfield site invement projects. Saturday, August 22, 2009 Well, euphoria in Germany is certainly on the rebound, with a sudden surge in the ZEW investor confidence index and newspaper articles all over the place predicting the imminent renaissance of European economic growth, despite the fact that in 3 of the 5 big European economies - the UK, Italy and Spain - there is little in the way of evidence to back this view up. The French economy is certainly holding up reasonably well, but the situation in Germany still remains deeply problematic due to the complete dependence of the economy on exports. Despite this we have a shower of articles (Below I present an extract from Frank Atkins writing in the Financial Times) explaining how "Europe's Economic Recovery is Gaining Steam" and the "German economic recovery powers ahead". I have already written up a an extensive summary of the actual state of play in the German economy, which is largely supported by a strong government stimulus programme, and a recovery in industrial output for export to levels which are more in line with the actual current level of demand than were the extremely low levels seen at the turn of the year (which were the product of demand being met from inventory run downs). German economic recovery powers ahead By Ralph Atkins in Frankfurt Germany’s economic recovery has leapt into a higher gear, according to a closely watched survey that showed private sector activity expanding this month at the fastest rate for 15 months and lifting the overall eurozone economy’s performance The purchasing managers’ index for Europe’s largest economy jumped to 54.2 in August, from 49.0 in July, signalling an unexpectedly brisk pace of expansion. The growth was driven by the service sector, where employment actually rose, but manufacturing also showed a further rebound. The figures were the latest economic data from continental Europe to surprise on the upside and suggested the region had overtaken the US and UK in the pace of its recovery. France’s economy is also now expanding clearly, according to a separate purchasing managers’ index for the eurozone’s second largest economy. The euro gained 0.5 per cent on the dollar to $1.43 and 0.2 per cent on the pound to £0.86 Germany’s rebound appears to have been powered by the country’s pioneering “cash-for-clunkers” incentives for new cars purchases and a pick-up in global demand for its exports. Earlier this week, the Bundesbank reported that consumer spending was likely to have risen further in the second quarter and described German shoppers as “remarkable in continuing to defy the negative effects of the global economic and financial crisis”. The Bundesbank argued that a “further marked pick-up in overall economic output is possible in the third quarter”. However, Axel Weber, Bundesbank president, has sought to rein in expectations, warning in a German newspaper interview this week that “the economy is not yet standing on its own feet, and the financial markets are still reliant on central bank help”. Other European Central Bank policymakers have also warned that a self-sustaining recovery may take longer to emerge – which also suggested the ECB will be in no rush to reverse the exceptional steps it took to combat the eurozone’s recession. Evidently Frank Atkins is right up to a point (and his position may indeed even seem more extreme than it is due to poor headline writing). It is certainly the case Europe's economies continued to show signs of improvement in August - following a better than anticipated perforemance in Q2 - with the Markit Flash Eurozone Composite Output Index rising to 50 from 47 in July, thus ending a fourteen-month sequence below the no-change mark of 50. The Flash Purchasing Managers Index for the manufacturing sector stood at a 14-month high of 47.9 in August compared to 46.3 in July, while the services PMI rose to a 15-month high of 49.5 versus 45.7 in July. Markit only publishes flash readings for two eurozone economies, France and Germany. PMI readings give us the best up to the moment snapshot of where activity is at at any given point. The Markit Flash Germany Composite Output Index stood at 54.2 in August, which was the highest reading for fifteen months, following an index reading of 49 for July. The German Flash services PMI rose to 54.1 in August from 48.1 last month. A very strong rebound for a single month, but do watch out, since elections are coming, and beyond that tricky little data point there is no evident explanation for this impressive rebound. It is suspicious for its strength, in what is an otherwise tepid environment. Whilet he Flash Manufacturing PMI moved up to 49 from 45.7. A solid improvement, but we are still just short of expansion. So obviously we should also take into account the latest PMI readings for the Eurozone, which were certainly positive, but hardly sufficient to start uncorking the champagne bottles. Basically, I would note two more things about the recent German performance. i) We are in the direct run up to an election. This phenomenon has well known side effects for public spending etc. Certainly every project which can be will be being brought forward at this point. We need to wait and see what things look like in October before drawing too many conclusions. Indeed, on this point, note what the Federal Statistics Office said in their latest press release on German public debt: "As reported by the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), the core budgets of the Federation and the Länder – as defined in public finance statistics – recorded a considerable financial deficit in cash terms in the first half of 2009. For the Länder, the financial deficit totalled EUR 15.4 billion, while in the first half of 2008 a financial surplus of EUR 3.1 billion was recorded. In the core budget of the Federation, the financial deficit rose to EUR 14.7 billion compared to EUR 13.1 billion in the first half of 2008. It should be noted, however, that the financial burdens of the Federation caused by the financial and economic crisis become obvious mainly in its extra budgets “Financial Market Stabilisation Fund” and “Investment and Redemption Fund”. Relevant statistical data will not be available until the end of September." Please note that last little line - "Relevant statistical data will not be available until the end of September." - ie after the elections which will be held on 27 September. ii) Bundesbank president Axel Weber may be over optimistic when it comes to the deflation threat, but he is far from being full of "irrational exhuberance" about the present timid bout of growth. This kind of view, however, is seldom reflected in those attention grabbing headlines. It would be a pity if all this new found German growth, like those famous wave of babies who were supposed to have been being born in Dussledorf last year, should turn out just to be a blip, undetectable when the annual figures are counted up. Indeed the present situation (even down to the headlines) is very reminiscent of the reaction after the first quarter of 2008, when that famous decoupling thesis was first launched in all its splendour, which is why I am reproducing extracts from an article by Karl Zawadzky written at the time. He said then "the indicators suggest that the German government is on the safe side with its growth prediction of 1.7 percent. Some economic experts are already speaking of 2 percent or more." In fact German GDP started shrinking almost immediately after the words were written and 2008 whole year growth came in at only 1.3% according to the Federal Statistics Office (and more like 1% on a calendar adjusted basis, allowing for the extra day in February) as I was already more or less forecasting in July 2008 (just for those of you who think economists never get anything right). My feeling is that by the time we get to the end of the third quarter of 2009 we will all be back to reality, including those among us who write newspaper headlines. Opinion: German Economy Powers Ahead by Karl Zawadzky: business editor Deutsche Welt Radio The German economy surged in the first quarter of this year, defying a global slowdown. DW's Karl Zawadzky remains optimistic about Germany's ability of maintaining its current financial boom. Experts are predicting that economic growth will slip this year. They cite the financial crisis, high oil and gas prices and the expensive euro. But the German economy is currently quite robust -- perhaps even more robust than many experts think. The surprisingly strong jump in economic activity during the first quarter is evidence of this. While gross domestic product increased by only 0.3 percent in October, November and December, it rose by 1.5 percent in the first three months of 2008. Domestic markets get attention For years, business activity has been fuelled by ever increasing export records. But now, focus has shifted to domestic markets. There were few impulses from abroad that spurred the German economy during the first quarter. The rising prices of key imports crude oil and gas, but also the expensive euro, which put the breaks on German exports, played a decisive role. Little reason for pessimism But the German economy is still on track for growth. Even in the first quarter, personal consumption rose after many weak years. Employment was up 1.8 percent compared to spring 2007 and the rise in wages in some sectors promises the biggest increase in buying power in years. That will boost consumption. The German economy is powering ahead, propelled by its own strength. The indicators suggest that the German government is on the safe side with its growth prediction of 1.7 percent. Some economic experts are already speaking of 2 percent or more. Compared to other countries in the EU, Germany is proving to be the bloc's economic engine and is powering through the current financial crisis quite well. While the German economy grew by 1.5 percent in the first quarter, the EU reported an average growth rate of only 0.7 percent. Certainly German analyst and investor sentiment rose sharply in August to its highest level in over three years. The ZEW economic think tank's closely-watched monthly survey, said rising industrial orders and a pick-up in exports had brightened the outlook for Germany. The Mannheim-based institute's economic expectations index for Germany rose to 56.1 in August from 39.5 in July, taking the indicator to its highest level since April 2006. But we should never forget that while German exports swang back to solid growth in June, surging by 7 per cent in June, optimism was also boosted by a 4.5 per cent rise in industrial orders in June - powered almost entirely by export orders - they are still significantly down on the level they attained one year ago. While industrial production output numbers for June, tempered hopes for a further rebound, since they fell back 0.1 per cent compared with the May’s figures which showed a 4.3 per cent rise over April. And in terms of domestic consumption it really is difficult to see any powering ahead in German retail sales, since while the rate of decline may have eased somewhat in July as only a marginal drop was shown in month-on-month sales (the index rose from 46.0 in June to 49.8) the index has now been registering contraction since sales began falling in June of last year. And I doubt things are going to get much better on this front anytime soon. Oh, and one last little detail. Germany's economy is not - as Frank Atkins again had it in last Friday's FT - offering a ray of hope for the global economy, since Germany is running a current account and trade surplus, which is to say that, on aggregate it is actually draining demand from the rest of the world, rather like those famous energy inefficient solar panels, it uses up more energy producing itself than it actually supplies. Tuesday, August 18, 2009 Amidst a huge fanfare of euphoria from the press, Japan's GDP expanded by 0.9% quarter on quarter between April and June, or at a 3.7% annualized rate. In doing so it clocked up the first positive growth in five quarters. Many now claim the worst is over is over for Japan, and in terms of the depth of contraction it may well be, but I fear that recovery may be a much more distant prospect than some imagine, and even when it does come may be far more tepid than is being factored in by the consensus. I am not alone in having there doubts. The Financial Times this morning has already begun to qualify its initial response: "Japan returned to growth in the second quarter after a year of contraction, but economists warned that the recovery remained vulnerable to any faltering in export demand or tightening of the government’s fiscal stimulus spigot........Yet with unemployment still rising and deflationary pressures growing, Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso acknowledged the world’s second-largest economy was still far from a return to real health. “We are only halfway there,” the prime minister said during a pre-election debate with rival party leaders."As has Bloomberg: Japan’s 3.7 percent economic expansion last quarter ended the country’s worst postwar recession. The bounce may be as good as it gets. Growth will slow to an annual 2.9 percent pace in the three months ending Sept. 30, according to the median forecast of 10 economists surveyed after yesterday’s gross domestic product report. Falling business investment and rising unemployment may hamper a recovery that has been fueled by $2.2 trillion in emergency spending by governments worldwide.Morgan Stanley analyst Robert Feldman was equally forthright and to the point: “We have our doubts about the durability of this......There’s isn’t enough demand to get us back on a very strong recovery path. We don’t see a huge downside, but nevertheless the upside is pretty limited.” Exports, and public investment were the main growth drivers in Japan this quarter, while private consumption remained notably weak. The principal impetus came from exports that jumped 6.6 percent (quarter on quarter), led by demand from China. At home, Taro Aso’s 25 trillion yen ($264 billion) in stimulus helped consumer spending rise 0.8 percent on the quarter and lead government investment to climb 8.1 percent. The figures evidently show hallmark of a worldwide rebound in factory demand (after inventories have been run down) and large-scale economic stimulus measures in Japan. The expansion in exports, benefits from economic stimulus measures, and inventory building are unlikely to continue, and growth will most likely slow again, especially after the last quarter of this year, as their impact fades. Deflation will remain a feature of the Japanese economy and I thus expect the BOJ to maintain its policy of monetary easing into the indefinite future. Personally I do not expect to see anything resembling a full-fledged recovery in Japan until the second half of 2010, although the present slight expansion phase may well continue through the July to September quarter, and certainly the July PMI suggested this. Thereafter, however, economic growth is likely to slow through to the end of the fiscal year, and we may well see further quarters of negative growth. The principal reasons for this expectation are: (1) fading support from economic stimulus measures, especially after the elections, when the deteriorating fiscal situation will need to be addressed. (2) prospects of a slowdown in economic activity overseas, especially in China, which has become a key customer, and (3) downward pressure from household spending as employment adjustments have an effect. Industrial Output Improves Japanese industrial output rose for the fourth month in a row in June and is expected to keep climbing as manufacturers restart production lines halted during the highpoint of the slump. June industrial production was up 2.4 per cent month-on-month, a rate of increase lower than the revised 5.7 per cent growth recorded for May but still an increase. It is now obvious that the drastic output cuts of the last quarter of 2008 and first quarter of this year have successfully cleared the excess inventory backlog despite the extraordinary speed at which demand declined. The Industry and Trade Ministry (Meti) reported that inventories were down 1.0 per cent month-on-month in June, while the inventory ratio - which compares inventory to actual shipments and is seen as a leading indicator - was down 9.8 per cent. This the sharp fall in the inventory ratio suggests that the driveing force behind the current production growth has shifted from excessive inventory reduction to responding to overseas and domestic demand fuelled by government stimulus policies across the globe. July PMI survey data provided further evidence that Japan’s manufacturing sector may continue to sustain the economy into the next quarter. The seasonally adjusted headline Nomura/JMMA Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) rose to 50.4 in July, from 48.2 in the previous month, pointing to the first improvement in operating conditions for seventeen months. Although only marginal, growth of the sector was slightly faster than the survey’s historical average. Manufacturing production increased for the second month running in July, rising at the most marked pace since September 2006. Where an expansion of output was signalled, PMI survey panellists frequently linked this to renewed growth of new orders. It was the first improvement in firms’ order books for seventeen months. Those respondents that reported a rise in new order levels widely attributed this to firmer demand from home and overseas, with export sales rising for the second month in a row. The survey organisers stated that anecdotal evidence suggested improved demand from China was providing the main boost to workloads at manufacturers. Deflation A Done Deal, And Digging In For A Long Winter The shortfall in demand is already weighing on prices, making it likely that deflation will once again become entrenched in the economy. Consumer prices plunged a record 1.7 percent in June and yesterday's GDP report showed wages fell a record 4.7 percent from a year earlier. Capital spending, which accounts for about 15 percent of the economy, fell 4.3 percent last quarter. A survey published this month by the Development Bank of Japan showed companies expect to cut fixed investment 9.2 percent this fiscal year. Reductions by manufacturers will be the steepest since 1993. While the falling energy prices that have been the main driver behind the decline in the consumer price index to date, deepening deflation fuelled by job insecurity and massive manufacturing over-capacity could become a major feature of the Japanese economic environment and effectively undermine the economic recovery process. The fall in "core-core" consumer prices, which exclude both food and energy, accelerated to 0.7 per cent in June, while more recent July price data for urban areas of Tokyo showed a fall of 1.1 per cent. Unemployment On The Way Up Japan’s unemployment rate rose to a six-year high in June and consumer prices fell at a record pace, adding to evidence the domestic economy is struggling to recover even as exports start to improve. The jobless rate advanced to 5.4 percent from 5.2 percent in May, the statistics bureau said today in Tokyo, higher than the 5.3 percent median forecast of economists surveyed. Economists expect the jobless rate to rise to a record 5.8 percent as companies cut costs. Deflation may erode profits even as factory output rebounds, further hampering Japan’s recovery from its deepest postwar recession. In addition there is the so called "hidden unemployment" problem - employees retained by Japanese companies who are effectively surplus to current needs. A recent study by analysts at Nomura found that when indexing the number of those employed and real GDP to the output peak of Q4 2007 the result showed a considerable gap. Based on a simple calculation and assuming this gap to represent the amount of “hidden underemployment”, they arrive at a figure for “hidden jobless” in Q1 2009 of 4.7m. This is far higher than the June unemployment figure of 3.48m. If the hidden jobless are included together with the registered “unemployed”, they calculate that the unemployment rate would leap from 5.4% to 12.2%. Consumer Confidence Rises Japan’s household sentiment rose for a seventh month in July, adding to signs the world’s second- largest economy is edging closer to a recovery. The confidence index climbed to 39.4 from 37.6 in June, the Cabinet Office said today in Tokyo. It has improved every month since tumbling to a record low of 26.2 in December. A number below 50 means pessimists outnumber optimists. The Economy Watchers index, a survey of barbers, taxi drivers and other small businesses who deal directly with consumers, climbed to 42.4 from 42.2 in June, making for a seventh monthly increase. Storm Clouds Ahead So despite the sigh of relief that everyone must have gasped on seeing the growth number for the second quarter, it is obvious that Japan's problems are far from over. Unemployment - with or without the hidden variety - is going to remain a problem, and the consensus view among economists expects the unemployment rate to climb to an unprecedented 5.9 percent by next year. On the other hand real wages continue to fall, sliding by 5.2 percent in June from a year earlier, the fastest decline on record. And while the Bank of Japan this month announced that economic conditions had “stopped worsening”, it also highlighted doubts about the robustness of recovery by predicting the contraction in the fiscal year would be greater than previously forecast. The BoJ now expects gross domestic product to contract 3.4 per cent in the year to March 2010. Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa stresssed that demand for the country’s products and services may well not gain momentum. It is now highly likely that the next central bank inflation forecast will predict that deflation will extend into 2011, which will force them to prolong their policy of keeping rates near zero for some considerable time. Shirakawa himself has admitted that prices are falling worldwide because of a dearth of demand and excess supply in the wake of the global economic crisis, adding that it will take “considerable time” before price drops moderate. On top of this there is continuing political uncertainty. Opinion polls show the ruling Liberal Democratic Party is likely to lose the lower house election to the opposition Democratic Party of Japan, which has never held power before. The DPJ has made considerable promises to the Japanese electorate for spending increases, but it is unclear how they will, in fact react give the very strong constraints on public spending which actually now exist. On thing. however, is certain: if they do win the coming elections they will inherit an economy which even after last quarter’s expansion is still at its 2004 level.

The consequence of the Volta Lake overflowing its banks has left many residents in Ghana’s southeastern region homeless and exposed to devastating occurrences. This tragic incident calls for individuals, organizations, and the government to come together to identify solutions that will protect the victims and communities, improve safety, and restore trust. Given the above, Global Volunteers Corps (GVC) visited some impacted communities with relief items including drinks, biscuits, sanitary pads, water, and toiletries. In addition to providing interim support, the team aimed to identify the needs of the victims to provide sufficient support. A thorough need assessment via direct interactions with the victims revealed that the victims have pressing needs for more relief items, accommodation, medical services, and supplies as well as toilet and latrine facilities. Responding to these issues, GVC undertook a medical outreach to address public health needs in these communities and aid in our goal to empower individuals and communities.

Wastewater from hospitals can contain traces of anything from viruses and multi-resistant bacteria to medical contrast agents and chemicals for cancer treatment. Small amounts of hormone-disrupting substances and other medicine residues are also part of the mix that passes from patients through hospital toilets and into public sewer systems. According to the World health Organization all medical waste can be classified as follows The health-care facilities should operate their own wastewater treatment equipment to ensure discharging into municipal sewage system only non-hazardous, fully disinfected wastewater. Typically, wastewater treatment involves three stages: – (I) Solids removal; – (II) converting of dissolved biological matter into a solid mass using indigenous waterborne bacteria; The third stage removes any residual suspended solids and other materials which were not removed in the previous stages. The effectiveness depends on the quality of the water being treated. The major objective of disinfection is to reduce the number of microorganisms in the waste water to be disposed of in the natural environment. Common methods of disinfection like electrolysis, chlorination, germicidal rays are outdated or require highly skilled operators and investment costs. And for all that, considering that hospitals are overloaded, the current system requires qualitative changes. Biomedical waste management solutions. VORTEX LAYER DEVICE BY GLOBECORE Electromagnetic Vortex Layer Devices AVS-100 and AVS-150 by GlobeCore are - can be integrated into existing wastewater treatment systems, and - come in a mobile version, for use in a container. It is possible to arrange multiple units for increased processing capacity of a production line. The AVS electromagnetic devices with ferromagnetic elements are designed to intensify various physical and chemical processes. In the case of medical wastewater AVS device allows achieving removal of more than 95% of bacteria, pathogens and helminthes eggs. The patented Vortex Layer technology has already shown its efficiency. It takes only fractions of a second to complete oxidation reactions in this device. The oxidation reaction in a rotating magnetic field device occurs in a matter of fractions of a second. The entire process ends in 1 or2 minutes. At the same time, in a reactor with agitators, oxidation is much slower. Beside electrolysis, the following reactions occur in the process section of the vortex layer device during the treatment of wastewater in rotating magnetic fields under the influence of a plasma cloud and a combination of the factors described above: - deposition of metal hydroxides from solutions; - chemical reduction of various compounds; - destruction of pathogenic microflora and microorganisms; - ionization of water with the release of hydrogen and OH ions; - anomalous acceleration of chemical reactions. The combined effect of all the factors sharply increases the activity of all components of the substances involved in the process and allows to change from diffusion type of mass transfer, common for all traditional technologies, to kinetic. This makes it possible to improve the productivity of a process by two or three orders of magnitude and drastically reduce the material and energy costs. The AVS device can be integrated into existing process lines.

In order to carry out high-quality centralized power supply management, a substation map is required. Electrical substations are used when transmitting electricity over long distances in order to convert voltage. The consumer does not need a voltage of 6 or 10 kV, so it must be reduced to a value of 0.4 kV. The substations are serviced by electricity companies, each of which usually operates in its own region. At the same time, one has to deal with hundreds of substations and coordinate the work of many people for the maintenance and repair of operating equipment. To facilitate this task, it is necessary to have an idea of the global picture: how transformer substations are located on a large territory, how they are interconnected, etc. Therefore, now the substation map is actively used, which is a display of substations in the form of symbols. What information does it contain In general, a substation map allows you to obtain the following information: - dispatcher name of the substation; - year of commissioning; - substation voltage class; - radius of the power supply zone; - number of power transformers; - installed capacity (MVA). Since the commissioning of the first substations, their maps have undergone significant changes. If earlier it was a drawing on paper, which later was used in the events such as emergencies or maintenance, now everything is much more interesting and convenient. The development of Internet technologies has allowed the creation of interactive substation maps based on Yandex, Google maps and other services. Such maps are especially convenient for potential investors. Now they can easily get information about the presence or absence of electric power in a specific area (via online mode) without written requests to the relevant energy companies. In addition to maps of existing substations, there are also maps of substations, which companies are only planning to build within the framework of the so-called plans for the development of the electric power industry both in a single region and throughout the country.

The guys were fantastic at looking for the best possible option to meet my requirements and were happy to answer any questions I had at any point leading up to the booking. The driver was a great choice and was also extremely helpful.! 💃 🍷 Service was absolutely spot on. Communication was clear and they went above and beyond to get me what i required on such short notice. Would highly recommend. 👍 Go2.co.uk helped me reserve exactly the kind of car I was after and was really helpful answering all my questions. I very much look forward to the limo arriving in July and seeing my daughter and her friends’ reaction to being able to travel to their prom in such style. It’s a huge plus that the driver will take some photos of them as well. Thank you very much in advance! Booked the party bus for our works Christmas night out, the bus made the night, we laughed and danced and drunk ( too much) all the way to The Depot! Great service nothing was too much trouble ( even a must needed toilet stop!) and the driver was great! We are definitely booking again! What a treat! 💃 🍷 There is nothing like a day at the beach with your friends and if you live in or around Ipswich, you probably make the most of every opportunity you get to head over to your favourite part of the Suffolk coast line and enjoy the sand and the surf. However, while you may think you have the organisation of a day at the beach down pat, we have a suggestion which can make your beach fun even more fun and that is coach hire. hiring a coach in Ipswich for a day at the beach with your friends means that you have spacious, reliable transport on hand all day, plus there is plenty of room for towels, beach chairs, surf boards, wet suits and all of the other paraphernalia which clogs up a normal car. Also, while you are enjoying a swim or just lying in the sand, you can organise for your coach chauffeur to be on hand with your coach full of beach equipment. This way you don? have to lug everything down to the beach and back again, most of which you probably wouldnt end up using anyway. Plus, by hiring a coach from Ipswich to the beach for the day, no one has to worry about driving home, and we all know how annoying driving home after a day at the beach can be, when you?e relaxed and happily tired the last thing you want to be doing is trying to negotiate traffic. The other majorly annoying thing about a day at the beach is trying to get the sand out of your car for the next month, and failing. Well, by hiring a coach in Ipswich with your friends, you don? have to worry about that because all of our coaches are thoroughly cleaned after each ride anyway and there are worse things for our chauffeurs to vacuum up than a bit of sand. Was this helpful?

By Murray Gleffe GREEN BAY – It’s good to have depth and be healthy as a team again. The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay men’s basketball team welcomed back three players Jan. 20 in a 70-63 Horizon League victory over Detroit Mercy at the Resch Center. The Phoenix played 10 players, with returnees Manny Ansong, Nate Jenkins and Ryan Claflin logging a combined 45 minutes. Green Bay played with seven healthy bodies the past couple of games. “It’s a huge win for us,” Cade Meyer, who led the Phoenix with 16 points, said. “We’ve had several guys out. Getting them back in the loop made the difference. I’ve been using my strength more and attacking the glass. Our guards have been doing a great job of feeding me the ball.” Donovan Ivory and Japannah Kellogg had 13 and 12 points, respectively, for Green Bay. The Phoenix (4-13 overall, 3-5 Horizon) had 19 assists on 26 made field goals and enjoyed a 31-23 advantage on the boards. Do-it-all guard Antonie Davis led the Titans (5-10, 3-3) with 25 points but needed 26 shots to accomplish the feat. Green Bay torched the nets from the get-go. Ansong connected on an elbow jumper and Kellogg a baseline jumper for a 19-11 lead. It was part of an 8-for-10 start from the floor. “I had a strong feeling (Detroit) would zone us,” Green Bay Head Coach Will Ryan said. “Let’s face it, our shooting numbers aren’t where they need to be at this point of the season. We did a great job of passing the ball inside and out. We made (Detroit) move a bunch on defense. We got numerous looks where our feet were set, and the guys knocked down shots with confidence.” Davis had to earn every point, as the Phoenix had a hand in his face on every attempt. Davis, averaging 24 points per game, jacked up 12 first-half field goals, making five. Green Bay built its biggest lead of the first half, 31-21, after Jenkins buried a triple from the top of the key. The Titans clawed back with the help of Noah Waterman and Willy Isiani, who combined to score 13 points in the first stanza. The Phoenix led 38-32 at the break. After a fastbreak basket by Meyer to open the second half, Detroit scored 18 of the next 25 points to grab a 50-47 lead with 11 minutes remaining. In the past, Green Bay might have folded. This time, the Phoenix rose up and went toe-to-toe with the Titans for the remainder of the game. After regaining the lead at 62-60, Ivory drove into the paint and was awarded two free throws after a blocking call on the Titans. It was a big momentum play, as Ivory’s two makes from the charity stripe gave Green Bay a four-point lead. “I’m pretty sure (the defender) was inside the restricted arc,” Ryan said. “It was a good call.” Down the stretch, Waterman buried a deep 3-pointer pointer to cut the lead to three, 66-63. On Green Bay’s next possession, however, Ivory sealed the deal with a nifty left-handed layup off the glass to seal the victory. “Hat’s off to our guys for persevering when (Detroit) took the lead in the second half,” Ryan said. “You knew they would make a run with Davis and how talented a kid he is. He can score in bunches. We held our ground, and we didn’t waver. I’m proud of our guys for finding a way to get it done.”

Sometimes it’s nice to just hear some good old-fashioned guitar-based post-punk. A record does not always need a lot of frills (or even a lot of originality) to be top-notch material. This record – the sole release by North Carolina band UV Prom (not to be confused with UV Pop!) is a perfect example of US post-punk done right. I’ve had this for at least 10 years or so and completely forgot about it until I found it stored away in my parents’ closet during a recent visit. The band liberally grabs elements from UK luminaries like Echo and the Bunnymen, early Killing Joke, The Chameleons, add a bit of punk sensibilities (especially with the chanted "HEY"s in the first song - it almost reminds me of an oi band). They combine these elements on an excellent four-song one-sided 12”. The music is certainly familiar, and the band does not really take any chances or experiment too much – but in this case that works to the record’s advantage, as all four tracks flow together perfectly, and there is not a bad track among them. It’s a shame the band never released anything else, as their imitation of their musical heroes is quite excellent. I believe this band has yet to be “discovered” by anyone, as copies still regularly float around online for pretty cheap.

Children at ZOE’s Home in Thailand Have Fun Making Handmade Items to Sell as Part of Their Vocational Training Vocational training is crucial to ZOE’s holistic, survivor-centered approach to combat human trafficking. ZOE’s rescued children and at-risk youth accumulate a wide range of vocational skills and training and are taught to set realistic short and long-term goals. For youth survivors living at our ZOE Home, our goal is that they will experience total restoration and learn how to build a future where they are no longer vulnerable. Recently, the ZOE youth put on a market at ZOE in Thailand to showcase and sell their handmade items as part of their vocational training. Members of our staff, field workers, and other youth were able to buy these handmade creations to support their work which will build confidence to support themselves in the future. Our ZOE staff shared, “The children were thrilled and excited to have the ZOE staff, volunteers, and guests who visited ZOE support their work.” There were many different items for sale, including baked goods, pieces of woodworking, embroidered fabrics, handmade crafts, and more! Thank you for supporting ZOE’s critical restoration efforts in Thailand for our youth! *ZOE protects the dignity and identity of children. The faces shown are of or staff and volunteers.

Third Sunday After Epiphany - The Word of the Lord - The Joy of the Lord SERMON TEXT: Nehemiah 8:1-3, 5, 6, 8-10 All the people came together as one in the square before the Water Gate. They told Ezra the teacher of the Law to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded for Israel. So on the first day of the seventh month Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, which was made up of men and women and all who were able to understand. He read it aloud from daybreak till noon as he faced the square before the Water Gate in the presence of the men, women and others who could understand. And all the people listened attentively to the Book of the Law. Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was standing above them; and as he opened it, the people all stood up. Ezra praised the Lord, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, “Amen! Amen!” Then they bowed down and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground. They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that the people understood what was being read. Then Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and teacher of the Law, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to them all, “This day is holy to the Lord your God. Do not mourn or weep.” For all the people had been weeping as they listened to the words of the Law. Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” FIRST LESSON: Isaiah 61:1-6 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations. Strangers will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards. And you will be called priests of the Lord, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast. SECOND LESSON: 1 Corinthians 12:12-21, 26,27 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many. Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. VERSE OF THE DAY: Alleluia. Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching, preaching, and healing every disease. Alleluia. GOSPEL: Luke 4:14-21 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside. He was teaching in their synagogues, and everyone praised him. He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

The GrEco Project The GrEco project aims at promoting academic researches on Lord William Wyndham Grenville’s economic thought. Since most of his economic writings are still-at the launch of the project-unpublished, a first task consists in locating, dating, transcribing and publishing Lord Grenville’s economic works and correspondence. Initially, this material will be published online on the GrEco Project website. However, one ambition of the project is to publish a paper edition of Lord Grenville’s economic writings. The corpus thus gathered and made available to researchers is intended to feed into a regular seminar which will allow the members of the GrEco project to discuss their respective researches on Lord Grenville’s economics. Grenville’s numerous exchanges with the economists of his time and the diversity of the issues raised in his economic writings, should allow a significant number of researchers to join the GrEco project. Without claiming to be exhaustive, these issues include: the theories of value, of population, of wages, of the accumulation of capital, freedom of trade, the corn laws, the poor laws, the convertibility of currencies, the financing of the public debt, the slave trade, the method of political economy, the links between economy and politics and between economy and religion, the training of civilian employees of the British East India Company, or political economy as an academic discipline.

The Chief Marketing Officers Council and Executive Networks Inc. collaborated in 2015 to produce a report titled, “Making the Workplace a Brand-Defining Space.” The report explored ways in which marketing and human resource leaders could engage employees to bring a company’s values, ethics, commitments and qualities to life within the organization. What I loved about the report is that it explored social media platforms being used by leading consumer brands to retain and recruit, build customer-centric cultures, recognize and reward innovation and output, and drive productivity, performance and motivation by “gamifying” the workplace. Start the conversation According to the report, areas of conversation included such questions as: - Does your company have a formal brand platform with shared values, ethics and collective buy-in? - How important is your brand persona to employee recruitment and customer gratification? - What value does management place on organizational branding and employee engagement? - Do you have a well-defined corporate culture that is universally embraced by the organization? If so, how has this been achieved? If not, what is lacking? - How well do your employees reinforce and deliver on brand promises and claims - How are you encouraging, rewarding, measuring and amplifying this? - To what degree is your brand personality reflected in your people and workplace? - In what ways are you engaging, motivating and recognizing employees to underscore brand qualities? - How are work styles changing and what are you doing to adjust to the millennial mindset? - Which platforms, methodologies, mobile applications or protocols are you using to do this? - Which business events, milestones or commitments require active employee participation and partner support? - How does your organization use social media, and how are employees and partners contributing to this? These questions are a good starting point for assessing where your organization stands and may provide some insight to ways you could better align the company’s brand clues within your organization. Finding the disconnect Here are some of the report’s findings, as gleaned from the executive summary. Nearly 70 percent of marketing and human resource leaders believe their management teams are strongly committed to their company’s image, identify, culture and collective ethos, as well as shared values and employee participation in organizational branding. Yet, just 37 percent say they have a well-defined corporate culture that is universally embraced by the organization. Brand persona is seen by almost 90 percent as essential, very or moderately important to attracting new hires and building a lasting relationship with customers. Only 62 percent, however, reported having a formal brand platform that defines shared values, ethics and collective buy-in to a singular value proposition. In order for marketing and human resources to succeed in making the workplace a brand-defining space, a company must first uncover its brand. This is a top-down, CEO-driven initiative with the company’s leadership team as the main brand ambassadors. The leadership must first embrace the value of the brand and its impact on the company’s future growth, customer loyalty and employee satisfaction, as well as its ability to drive greater profitability and competitive advantage. From this foundation, a brand that is enculturated into an organization is a game-changing, transformational market advantage. From Smart Business

Palermo Post Office goes ahead with Poste Italiane’s green strategy.The Center now has 28 special three- and four-wheeled motorcycles, eight cars and one van, all 100% zero-emission. The 37 vehicles will be powered by the same number of electric charging stations, which are part of a phased plan of installations that has currently resulted in the activation of 260 charging points in delivery centers around the island. Before joining the Poste Italiane fleet, the cars were made functional for the needs of the postal service: special compartments and racks allow boxes and parcels to be transported in the cars, while tricycles and quadricycles are equipped with large luggage compartments to optimize and facilitate delivery work. The enrichment of the company’s fleet with new totally “green” vehicles is also part of the days of “Green Month,” which has seen Poste Italiane committed to supporting awareness of good eco-sustainable practices, including with initiatives on the Sicilian territory. These include the dimming or turning off of lights in several locations in Sicily on March 25. The month dedicated to environmental awareness will end on April 22 with Earth Day, an event established by the United Nations to celebrate the preservation of the planet. Poste Italiane’s commitment to the green transition, which in terms of mobility currently translates into 13,000 environmentally friendly vehicles, aims to contribute to the company’s 2030 goal of Carbon Neutrality – or zero net greenhouse gas emissions.

Self-love is a big topic nowadays. Everyone and their cat talks about how you must love yourself, put yourself first, and spend time taking care of your body, mind, and spirit. However, for many of us, it is not something that comes easily or naturally. In fact, in many cases, it’s damn difficult to do. Self-love is a choice that can only be made by us, so why do we give that power away? As an empath, I know how difficult it can be to sometimes put yourself first and how easy it is to disregard your own feelings. In this day and age, we rarely give ourselves a moment to stop and ask ‘what do I really need right now?’. I know how many of you are just starting to embark on the self-love journey. That is exactly why I wanted to write about Self-Love for Beginners. I want to inspire you to let go of your fears and share some proactive tips that have helped me along my own journey. So without further ado, let’s dive into the world of self-love. WHAT IS SELF-LOVE? If you would ask what does self-love means to me, my answer would sound something like this: Self-love is acknowledging your own needs and setting healthy boundaries between yourself and other people. It is the ability to be selfish and stand up for yourself without being narcissistic. Self-love means having compassion for yourself and forgiving yourself of past mistakes. As true love knows no boundaries, it spreads. It quickly becomes not only self-love but love for other people and organisms. Self-love means loving not only yourself but this whole entire experience here on Earth. THE COMPLEXITY OF SELF-LOVE Self-love can be an extremely complex topic. Some people believe that you have to love yourself before you love others. Some people believe that your love for yourself has no connection to your love for others. Others believe that self-love is overrated. Whatever your belief is, I am not here to tell you not to feel that way. I personally see self-love as multilayered. It doesn’t mean that you won’t have your bad days or days when it feels like you simply cannot go on anymore. Self-love doesn’t mean being ignorant towards your own actions and having a total disregard for how it affects others. Basically, self-love doesn’t mean being hit on your head and pretending to be unaware of what’s happening around you. Sometimes we will have to put others first. At times, we will have to sacrifice our own well-being in order to show up for another person. All in all, as I already mentioned, I do believe that self-love and love for others are intertwined. One cannot fully exist without another. In order to truly love and respect someone else, you have to love and respect yourself and vice versa. WHY IS SELF-LOVE SO DIFFICULT? Self-love sounds great but for many of us it can bring up all sorts of uncomfortable connotations. Someone who grew up in a loving environment and was put as a priority will find it easier to prioritize themselves in the future. Unfortunately, throughout our lives, we go through all kinds of experiences. As children, some of us start associating self-love with being cocky, arrogant, lazy, and selfish. That is one of the reasons why I wanted to address the complexity of self-love earlier in this post. In the most simple way, someone who is loving, kind, and compassionate towards others is considered good, right? Therefore, why do we automatically put self-love on the opposite side of the spectrum as if it cannot co-exist with love for other people and organisms? Self-love and self-care is something that many of us have to learn or re-learn once we step into adulthood or many years after. If we are taught these values when we are young, it is way easier to learn them as our minds are like a fresh piece of paper. ‘Breaking your mind’ on the other hand is definitely more difficult but more than possible. WHY SELF-LOVE IS SO IMPORTANT? I see self-love as important for three major reasons. As this is a post about self-love for beginners, I truly believe that understanding the importance of self-love plays an important role here. To begin, self-love is important for your inner balance. In the same way, we give to others, we need to be able to give to ourselves. Whether it’s accepting help or learning to say ‘no’, self-love comes in many forms. If a person is not able to receive love (from themselves or others), this will usually manifest as an imbalance in one (or more) of their chakras. Additionally, their left side which is the receiving side is going to be imbalanced as well. CULTIVATING LOVE & UNDERSTANDING As I already mentioned previously, I see love for others and self-love as intertwined. To feel unconditional love for others, you have to love yourself unconditionally first and vice versa. Remember, we are not talking about arrogant and narcissistic love. You may think to yourself ‘I truly love others, but I struggle with appreciating and loving myself’. Yes, there are thousands of amazing people around the world who struggle with self-love but they feel love for children, their partners, their friends. However, I want you to see love as limitless, something that can grow and never reach its limit. Once we start appreciating ourselves, once we fall in love with ourselves, it suddenly becomes easier to understand others. Your patience, compassion, kindness, it all grows. You become a better parent, a better partner, a better friend, and a better stranger. I also truly believe that self-love can help us stop comparing ourselves to others. As a consequence, this releases anger, envy, and many other unpleasant emotions. MANIFESTING ABILITIES & healthy relationships Circling back to the topic of chakras and inner balance, I want to emphasize how our inability to receive can impact our ability to manifest. When we feel worthy of love and acknowledge our own magic, we are open to receive the gifts from the Universe as well. When we are unable to receive, we are closed off to the abundance that would otherwise enter our home. This is the base of the Law of Attraction. You attract what you are. This is also very prominent in attracting healthy relationships and gaining respect from others. If we do not love and respect ourselves, how can we expect others to do that for us? We lead by example and those who practice self-love usually are honoured by the people around them as well. If we do not love and respect ourselves, how can we expect others to do that for us? We lead by example and those who practice self-love usually are honoured by the people around them as well. HOW TO START CULTIVATING SELF-LOVE? As a ‘self-love for beginners’ post, it demands some powerful tips on how we can all start cultivating a little more self-appreciation and love in our lives, right? 1. LEARNING TO SAY 'NO' This is one of the things you need to start getting comfortable with, especially if you know that this is an area you have to work on. Recognizing your own needs and respecting your own time is an important component when it comes to self-love. Sure, in the beginning, it might feel extremely uncomfortable and it may spark feelings of guilt as well. However, you will soon grow this ‘muscle’ and start getting in tune with your own needs. 2. CARVING OUT SOME TIME FOR YOURSELF Having some personal time for yourself is important and of course, it is easier to find that time if you do not have people depending on you. Some of us have children or are taking care of our family members, therefore our personal time becomes very limited. Nonetheless, try your very best to carve out some special time for yourself. Whether that would be having a 5-minute meditation session or scheduling a Yoga class which you cannot skip, do what you can to find time JUST for yourself. Prioritize YOU. 3. LOVING MIRROR EXERCISE I’ve spoken about this exercise before and I think it can do wonders for your self-esteem. I have it included in my morning routine and it can be as short or as long as you would like it to be. Simply stand in front of the mirror and admire yourself and your features, give thanks to your body and its health. You can do this naked or clothed, whatever feels more comfortable for you. You can also talk to yourself, however make sure to do this in the most loving way possible. Even a simple ‘you can do this’ is already a beginning. 4. REIKI & CHAKRA HEALING Reiki and chakra healing can improve your health immensely. This is where we work with our subtle body, therefore for those of you who are a bit skeptical, this may seem totally useless. However, I promise you, it works! The balance within your chakras can help bring confidence and love into your life (and so much more). You can always read my Chakras For Beginners Guide to learn more. Reiki is a Japanese form of holistic healing and it can help bring balance between your left (receiving) side and your right (giving) sides. While practicing Reiki, we work with chakras as well. In fact, these energy points are extremely important whilst performing Reiki. You can either do self Reiki or book a session with a Reiki master. 5. HONOUR YOUR BODY Honour your body through physical exercise and healthy foods. Choose an activity that you like or could potentially like and build a routine. It can be something as simple as walking because showing up for yourself in any shape or form is better than not showing up at all. Consider the foods that you put into your body. It’s okay to have unhealthy crap from time to time, however, make sure that you always keep a balance. Remember, that foods hold energy as well. The more processed something is, the less value it gives us. If you choose to consume animal products, please be mindful of where they come from. Most importantly, give thanks to your food, especially when it’s an animal. 6. STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS I have an entire blog post dedicated just to this topic and I try to practice what I preach every single day. It’s not always easy but the more you catch yourself doing it, the easier it becomes. Understand that your uniqueness is your power and there’s no point in trying to fit in. Moreover, everyone’s circumstances are different and you need to focus on your own journey. The truth is, if you try, you will always find somebody in a better (or worse) situation than you are. Therefore, instead of putting your attention on others, come back to yourself. Work on your own betterment. I promise, your life is going to change. Remember, though, there is nothing wrong with admiring other people. However, contrary to comparison, admiration tends to create a positive feeling. 7. LIMIT THE TIME SPENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA As I’m concentrating on the self-love for beginners topic, I cannot skip this advice. Even if you think you do not spend that much time on social media, be mindful of how and when you use it. Do you find yourself scrolling through empty content when you’re on a bus? Do you bring your phone with you to bed? The truth is, social media is the number one reason why so many people experience issues with their confidence. I, myself, am going through a mini social media cleanse at the moment. I haven’t deleted my apps but I only use them to reply to the messages. You can try something similar and tailor it to your own needs. Thank you so much for taking the time to read about self-love for beginners. I hope this has sparked new ideas not only for someone who is just starting this journey but for someone who has been practicing self-love for a while now. Namaste. I am proud of you.

It’s been over two months (birthday was November!) but I’m finally getting around to this. I think it’s because I was wishing for a holiday this past weekend, and naturally looked through these photos. This wasn’t exactly a planned holiday, but when our initial trip to Dubai didn’t happen, in April, we considered moving our tickets. Since we had a birthday getaway in November 2015 – to Spain & Portugal, we thought maybe a birthday getaway could become one of our yearly couple traditions so we managed to move the tickets to November. We flew from Heathrow, and I was pretty excited because I’d heard lots of good stuff about the Emirates A380, which is a double decker plane. If you’ve also seen the ad with Jennifer Aniston, you’ll agree it’s quite something – with the business class section on the top level with an entire bar. Thanks to air miles, we bumped up our tickets to business class – and if nothing else, the ease of the process would make me pay for it if I had the money! It was really stress free. A chauffeur picked up us from home, and the waiting lounge at the airport was so comfy with so much free food & drinks. It really did take out the entire stress of travelling. Tip: if possible, try to fly with at least 3 airlines most of the time. And don’t delay, register for those travel miles and collect them! But you could probably tell I was going to take advantage of all the freebies! Before boarding I loaded my arms with about 30 of the free magazines. The air hostess and other business class passengers seemed to be having quite a laugh, possibly knowing it was my first time. And one guy jokingly asked if I was travelling to Dubai or Sydney – as there was no way I was going to read all those magazines on a six hour flight! He was right, as I still haven’t read them till this day!. The bar stood out, and a few passengers in PJs and socks gathered by the bar for drinks. Totally couldn’t tell I was in a plane! We arrived Dubai & immediately got driven to Abu Dhabi. The idea behind the holiday was to really just chill – so we really didn’t attempt to take loads of blog or Instagram worthy pictures. So although I had my camera, I barely used it. The weather was also perfect. As it was November, it wasn’t too hot or humid. But of course, once we arrived at the hotel, we let them know it was my birthday (or did we say honeymoon?!) and asked for freebies. They sent a cake on the house. This was simply exploring Abu Dhabi – and finding lots to eat. We really wanted to go the Yas Water World – a water park, but unfortunately when we arrived we were told that as it was a Monday & only open to women. I wasn’t too fussed, as I had being to the Wild Wadi Water Park in Dubai which is really similar. But still, I wanted a fresh experience because Tee didn’t let me know on that first experience, that I’d need a swim suit at the water park – so I did all of the water games in my play suit! That was slightly embarrassing. Tip: Always do your research on destinations before you head there! So we headed to Ferrari world & explored the malls for a bit. The rest of day 1 was spent in the hotel, the outdoor bars, the gym and the spa! The one thing I however wanted to do while on this trip was the desert safari. And for me, that was the highlight of the entire vacation, and pretty much most of day 2. I’d heard stories of how crazy those rides were and wanted to experience it! We were in the jeep with another older couple from the US, and two gentle men who were on holiday from Japan. Maybe I’d prepared my mind so much that it didn’t seem too bad. But it’s definitely one to do! At the end of the ride, we had a buffet dinner under the stars with just one belly dancer as entertainment. I got a henna, and we both rode on a camel – now that took me by surprise! I didn’t realise how tall it was! When in Abu Dhabi, everyone says to stop at the Sheik Zayad Mosque as it’s quite a breathing piece of architecture and design. So we did. The one thing to point out though is that you have to be fully clothed to enter. So no knees or arms exposed – and ladies had to have their hair covered in a scarf! Obviously, again I didn’t do any research and got there with an off the shoulder summer dress, that was very clearly above my knees! But it’s fine and provided you don’t mind they give you an abaya to wear. The rest of Day 3 was a quick stop by the beach behind our hotel. Can’t believe we didn’t have a proper beach day! After that we headed to dinner at our friend’s house. They recently moved from the UK to Abu Dhabi and she loves it more at the latter! And finally, it was time to bid farewell to Abu Dhabi and we took a taxi back to Dubai – an hour and a half travel time thereabout. We arrived Dubai at about 11 pm! Early hours of Wednesday and my birthday, Tee had to head back to the UK for work. So we had to leave at about 12 midnight. *sniff sniff*. But not before he got me this cute birthday cake, and as usual prayed for me! I guess it technically wasn’t a birthday getaway. But it couldn’t be avoided. I spent a lot of the day sleeping, ordering room service & planning for the year ahead! The great thing about being a blogger (and social media in general) is there’s probably a person in another city you can always meet up with. So for the rest of day 4 & 5, I met up with Tega of TegaEnai.com and Lara of LaraTeshola.com. We actually had quite a bit of fun – window shopping, exploring the malls and streets of Dubai – and taking a million photos! Kachee, Lara & Tega All in all, it was a pretty relaxing holiday. It could have been a bit more adventurous but I guess I was just exhausted and needed to rest! That said, I’ve fulfilled my desert safari tour desire, so I really don’t think I’d be headed there for a vacation soon – well, except it’s free because there’s still so much to do there – including swimming with the dolphins and skydiving. But if not, I think this is fine to tick the UAE off the list of countries I’ve been to, and I could always do these outstanding activities in some other locations. Have you been to the UAE? What was your experience like? pS: Kemi’s 30Countries by her 30th birthday obviously made me count mine. Little chance of meeting that, but I’ve been to 9 (including Nigeria & the UK). You can check out our Barbados & Malaysia trips. And 4 countries in Europe. Hopefully I can add a few to that list the year. ppS: Interesting that I’ve gone on all of the 7 destinations with Tee. He’s been on a few more without me – mostly for work, and a couple of times with his male friends alone. What do you think? Should your husband go on a men-only vacation? You may also like:

Corporate gifting is an art. It means getting the right amount of bulk gifts. It is also a must that these gifts must be handy and useful to the end users. Most corporate companies also expect their corporate gifts to create a good impression on the person being gifted – Be it the customer or the client or the employee. It can be a weary and time-consuming job to select the best corporate gift. Once the gift is chose, it is even more tiresome to search for the best vendor who can supply these products in bulk. Here we have summarised 5 simple steps for you to follow when choosing a vendor to buy corporate gifts in bulk. Step 1 – Do Your Research The basic and elementary step to finding the best vendor is to do your research. Make sure you have a database of the vendors as you venture out to find the perfect vendor who will supply the corporate gifts for you. Once you are clear about what gift you plan to buy, it will be useful to decide upon the places to find vendors. Step 2 – Check Local Markets in Person It could be a tiresome activity, but most deals are signed off by finding out it in person. The local wholesale dealers will often get you the best bargains and it is also a good way to get the best possible gifts in bulk and at the manufacturing price. If there are any regular suppliers of bulk gifts, they will be a safer option as they would be disciplined about order delivery. Step 3 – Check out Customization With customised gifts, the meaning of gifting is triple fold. Make sure that you either engrave your text or logo in the gift you choose. It is important to provide a personal touch. Also, embossing your logo adds to the remembrance factor. Step 4 – Online Price Check Online stores also sell at wholesale and discounted sales. Always check if there are any other quotations available. It is much easier to do the purchase online as bulk orders often fetch a lot of freebies and more services. More services include getting a free delivery and free customization also, at times. Be tech savvy and always check before you commit to a vendor. Step 5 – Back Ground Verification Do some basic background checks about the vendor before you actually buy the product or order for the same. It is essential that the product vendor must essentially be a person who has a good history of selling goods and is usually a person committed to timely deliveries and perfect orders. It would not be advisable to hire a new person in the market to do bulk orders for corporate gifts, the service could be faulty or the order remains undelivered. On the other hand, new sellers give away a lot of discounts to fetch business, so it could be a win-win situation if they happen to deliver on time. If you are looking for someone to customised your corporate gifts in Singapore, we would recommend Ministry of Print. They may not be cheap but every product they produce is definitely of quality. We have seen many people who go for the cheapest corporate gift company and end up with a unsatisfactory corporate gifts, not delivering on time or in worse case scenario, not even getting their product at all. It is definitely not worth the time, effort and money to be risking just for a few cents over your ideal corporate gift. Feel free to mail me a comment in the contact us section above if you would find out more on printing corporate gifts in Singapore! Cheers to the end of 2015 and hello to 2016 🙂

AbstractGlobally, extreme temperatures have severe impacts on the economy, human health, food and water security, and ecosystems. Mortality rates have been increased due to heatwaves in several regions. Specifically, megacities have high impacts with the increasing temperature and ever-expanding urban areas; it is important to understand extreme temperature changes in terms of duration, magnitude, and frequency for future risk management and disaster mitigation. Here we framed a novel Semi-Parametric quantile mapping method to bias-correct the CMIP6 minimum and maximum temperature projections for 199 megacities worldwide. The changes in maximum and minimum temperature are quantified in terms of climate indices (ETCCDI and HDWI) for the four Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5). Cities in northern Asia and northern North America (Kazan, Samara, Heihe, Montréal, Edmonton, and Moscow) are warming at a higher rate compared to the other regions. There is an increasing and decreasing trend for the warm and cold extremes respectively. Heatwaves increase exponentially in the future with the increase in warming, that is, from SSP1-2.6 to SSP5-8.5. Among the CMIP6 models, a huge variability is observed, and this further increases as the warming increases. All climate indices have steep slopes for the far future (2066–2100) compared to the near future (2031–2065). Yet the variability among CMIP6 models in near future is high compared to the far future for cold indices.

When I want to activate it, it says it needs a base plugin called "EliMZ_Book" to work. Is this supposed to happen? If not, where can I download that base plugin? (Assuming from the title I can get it from you?) Hakuen Studio Character Manager for RPG Maker MV MZ A downloadable RPG Maker Plugin This plugin has the intention to let you have more control over the character's sprites. By character sprites, you can understand Events, Player, Follower, and Vehicle. Changing color, scale, position, and much more! - Change the following character configurations: - Hue Color, Blend Color, Tone Color. - Fade In/Out Characters - Scale, Angle, Rotation, Offset, Skew, Z Index - Positions(x, realX, y, realY) - Image Index, Blend Mode, Move Speed/Frequency, and bush depth - You can change them by: - Plugin Commands: You can use easing animations! - Event Notes - Works for: - Events, Players, Followers, and Vehicles! - Animations can be saved and resumed on loading a file or changing maps! Click download now to get access to the following files: - Version 2.1.2 - Compatibility fix!52 days ago - Version 2.1.1 - Compatibility FixOct 07, 2023 - Version 2.1.0 - New feature!Oct 03, 2023 - Version 2.0.0 - Big update!Sep 22, 2023 - Version 1.4.2 - Fixed a crashSep 16, 2023 - Version 1.4.1 - Bug fix and compatibility fix!Sep 12, 2023 - Version 5.2.0 - New feature!May 13, 2023 - Version 5.1.1 - Bug fix!Jan 07, 2023 Log in with itch.io to leave a comment. Ok! So make sure of these things: 1 - Eli book must be somewhere above all other Eli Plugins. 2 - Make sure you are using the right versions for your RPG Maker. For MZ, the plugin names always start with EliMZ_PluginName... So make sure you are using the MZ plugins for MZ and not for MV. 3 - You can also check my sample project to understand and test all the plugins. If none of the above works, create a sample project replicating the error, and send it to me here or through my discord: hakuenstudio **Edited to reflect the new compatibility update. It's a great plugin, thank you for making it compatible with VisuStella MoveCore~! Yes, I can take a look at it! Please add me on discord: Although, I may only be able to see it on/after day 26th! When that error happens, can you press F12 or F8 and show me the full error log? Also, make sure you are using the latest Eli Book plugin(5.4.14). Been looking into character sprite manipulation like offsets for player vehicle and event vehicles and this plugin may solve some issues i've been running into concerning the graphics side of things, I was reading through the help document and I was wondering if parameters can be made to automatically change all relative sprite sheets that have a character command or name type in there file? For example "$" and "!" image codes. Do you think this would be suitable for mass vehicle eventing? If you are curious to look into the matter I made a topic on the forums concerning this venture. Yeah, I can think of some ways of doing this! But first, just for me to be sure(I saw your thread), try to change the offset of the car sprite with my plugin. Make it with just one sprite, and one vehicle, and see what kind of configuration will make it work. If that did not solve, I just saw that on my plugin, although you can change offset, you cannot change anchors, I don't remember why I did that. But maybe, changing the character sprite anchor according to the character's direction could solve your issue. Or even, if you could provide me the sprite sheet, I could try something here. As I understand, you want the car to fit on that spot when facing up/down, the same way it fits when facing left/right, is that it? The offset mechanic works really good graphically, I set the Y offset to 48 so visually it's aligned more central, so sprite offset I think is viable still, though if there was preset parameters options in the plugin itself that would add alot of quality of life to the plugin, namely also if there was options for parameters sprite offsets dependent on characters that use a global name or something that would be essential for mass vehicle eventing which I intend to have in my project. If you wish to experiment with my sprite sheet I can provide it to you :) I use the grid lines to help me see which spaces are occupied during play tests and the saturation changes dependent on the step animation for testing. Thank you for helping me out! I hate to double post but I forgot to mention the overlapping part, I realize there is a mechanic for overlapping graphics but I am not so sure about overlapping graphics when it comes to offsets, if you see this screen shot demonstration you may notice where I am coming from. I will try to make a patch to help you with this. It seems a thing that I will also need for my project! About the overlapping, what my plugin does is give an extra value for the z index. By default, RPG Maker decides that index with the character priority. So just for example: - Below Characters → Index = 0 - Same as Characters → Index = 1 - Above Characters → Index = 2 My plugin adds an extra z index value, that by default, is 0. So you can change that to increase or decrease a character index: - Below Characters → Index + extraZindex - Same as Characters → Index + extraZindex - Above Characters → Index + extraZindex If you have an event set as Same as Characters, with the extra z index as -2, the real index will be -1. So they will appear below a character that has the priority Below Characters. Is that your doubt? Ah I've been testing that with the limited time I have today, setting the Z value to -1 definitely makes the event (boat) in question behind the player but I have noticed that when walking above the graphic (above the actual event place of origin) the player sprites+shadow are overlapping the boat -so at this point I am unsure how to adapt to it because any given time any other character or graphic of some sort comes by above the event with it's offset settings enabled there may be some visual confusion. Still I am extremely fascinated with this plugin and I wish to learn more about it, excited still to see where you updates take you. Howdy, I think I ran into a bug? Setting an effect, tone, hue, blend, etc then removing the filter, and then trying to re-apply it again results in nothing happening after the filter is applied once and will not re-apply. Basic event to show what I mean ◆Loop ◆Plugin Command：EliMZ_CharManager, Change Blend Color ：Plugin Command：Character Id = 0 ：Plugin Command：Duration = 1 ：Plugin Command：Wait for finish = true ：Plugin Command：Blend color = 0,0,0,255 ：Plugin Command：Auto delete color filter = false ◆Wait：8 frames ◆Plugin Command：EliMZ_CharManager, Delete color filter ：Plugin Command：Character Id = 0 ◆Wait：8 frames ◆ ：Repeat Above Tested with only the Hakuen Studio plugins I have enabled, and with any other plugins the same issue occurs. Nothing in console either. Using version 5.2.0 Indeed a bug! Thanks so much for the feedback! :D Will fix this tomorrow, and let you know here! ^^ Just let you know that I fixed this issue on the latest version! Thanks for the feedback! ^^ How would you set up a constant color-changing effect like you show near the end of the demo video? I'm a big fan of using the Hue Shift commands that are available by default for parallax and fog layers, but I want to do something like that with characters and other sprites. I guess I miss your comment here. Sorry. You can try to check the sample project to see how I did it. But basically, this: I check the hue color value of the event, and based on that, I change the hue color to the opposite value. On the sample project, I used events 20 to 181. But that was just my case. You can do it with only one character if you want. Let's say the player, so you should use: $gamePlayer.hueColor, for example. Ah, that's so ridiculously simple, I don't know why I was expecting it to require more steps... And I guess I kinda forgot about my question too, lol, but thanks for finally responding! And the new feature is gonna be super-handy too, great work! Hello, is there a way to save the changes when the player leaves and returns to the map? I am making an in-game map editor and being able to resize events etc and have those changes saved would be great. I am cloning events from a base map, is it possible to make the alterations saved to each clone uniquely? Edit I tried to use comments but they would not function to change the scale of the event. Hello. I tried implementing this plugin to my project, but some functions are not compatible with other plugins. - Angle Rotation/Speed does not seem to work with Visustella Events Move Core (v1.36) - Scale Sprite does not seem to work with MOG Character Motion (v1.0) I done my test on MZ 1.3.2. If the incompatibility was indeed true, would it be a possibility for you to find a fix? The Visustella being the most important one considering the number of features. Looking forward your plugins. Edit: It seems the "CharManager" comment line is also necessary for single lines comments for the function to operate. Is this intentional? Edit 2: There's also another bug with the scaling function via comment, with no other plugins ON. If there's events using "<" or ">" in their event note, some events with a scaling comment will ignore it. Deleting events with "<" or ">" in their event note will randomly affect wich event ID will get its scaling comment ignored. I don't know if it affects other CharManager functions. - Yes you need to set the first line of the comment with "CharManager". This information is on the help file: I will take a look into the Mog compatibility and figure out the EDIT2 problem. Try changing the plugin order to see if something can work. But can you show a screenshot of how you set up the comments? I noticed the same compatibility problem where Events Move Core disables the character rotation, but I just looked at another plugin with similar functions and the person who made it also noted the exact same problem -- and mentioned that it is specifically the dash tilt option in the Events Move Core that is causing the conflict. If you don't feel like you need that turned on, you can turn it off and the character rotation will work. I kinda like the tilted dash though, so I hope someone eventually figures out a way to get them to work together... The thing is that the tilt option is probably something that is messing with the angle/rotation property of the character sprite. When the character is dashing, the angle is set to an X value. When it is not, it is probably set the angle to 0. So when you try to rotate, it will not work, because the angle is constantly being set to 0. At least, that is my guess. But I can easily create a workaround for this on code. Will do it on the next update. can x and y be set to variables? also thanks for the mv port! I presume you are talking about the offset values, right? If you are using plugin commands, you can use \v[id]. I was taking a look into the code and saw that by note tags I did not implement this. Only on plugin commands. Will implement it on the next update though! Hey, great plugin, I would love to see a MV virsion of this, if that's passibble to create. In any case great job!
