The reason why you'll find The Quincy Hotel by Far East Hospitality in our list of best hotels in Singapore with a view is because this is, in fact, an exceptional hotel with great value for money. In addition, the 12th floor infinity pool offers spectacular views over the city landscape. Some of the all-inclusive studios feature city views and premium amenities. The hotel facilities include a lobby restaurant, a gym, sauna and steam rooms. Location is also one of The Quincy Hotel by Far East Hospitality strong points: minutes away from Orchard Road, Singapore's prestigious shopping destination.
Park Regis Singapore is one of the best located 4-star hotels in Singapore, minutes away from Raffles City, Clarke Quay MRT Station and Singapore River. Many rooms feature city views but, most of all, there's one that caught our special attention: The Regis Suite. Filled wit natural light (the floor-to-ceiling windows certainly help), this well-appointed Regis Suite comes with 180º views of Singapore skyline and the 25-metre outdoor pool with its peculiar waterfall. Park Regis Singapore has modern facilities and interesting design.
Directly connected to Novena MRT Train Station and Novena Square 2 Mall, Oasia Hotel Novena, Singapore by Far East Hospitality benefits from a good location in Newton area, a region known as "District 10" by locals and popular among affluent Singaporeans. Interesting Singapore skyline views, specially from high-floor refined club suites. Speaking of The Club, this venue is located on the hotel's 22nd floor - the best place in the hotel to enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding skyscrapers and nearby Central Water Catchment, Singapore's largest nature reserve (we strongly suggest you to take the Treetop Walk and cross the 250-metre suspension bridge - stunning vistas guaranteed). | 2019-04-22T04:20:01 | https://www.themostperfectview.com/singapore-4-gallery-r |
The Liliales order includes many homeopathically relevant remedies such as Colchicum, Lilium tigrinum, Sarsaparilla, and Veratrum album. Although they belong to different plant families, they have striking similarities, including the vital sensation identified by Sankaran. Like Michal Yakir, the Indian homeopath is guided by the Cronquist system, which – in contrast to the APG classification – also counts Irises, Hyacinths, Agaves, and Asparagus as part of this large group.
The themes of all these plant remedies are about belonging to a group, social position, recognition as well as attractiveness and sexuality. Corresponding to the cultural imagery associated with the lily, we find the issues of love and purity, religion and morality, together with shame and suppressed feelings. Therefore the physical focus is the heart and the hormonal system. Jan Scholten further differentiates the themes of the Liliales according to the different families, which to some extent also belong to another order. This issue of SPECTRUM therefore offers the opportunity to compare and contrast the plant systems of Scholten, Sankaran, and Yakir via their differing understanding of the Liliales. | 2019-04-23T10:19:49 | https://www.editions-narayana.fr/Spectrum-of-Homeopathy-2019-1-Liliales-Series-E-Book-Narayana-Verlag/b24266?page=rss |
Cybercrime is responsible for the loss of more than half a million US jobs per year, a joint report sponsored by McAfee and the Center for Strategic and International Studies finds.
Released on Tuesday, “Estimating the Cost of Cybercrime and Cyber Espionage” aims to quantify the economic impact of cybercrime, estimating a $100 billion annual loss to the US economy.
The report, CSIS argues, is more representative of the economic impact of cybercrime than other research methods like surveys because companies can’t effectively estimate what has been taken and intellectual property losses are difficult to quantify. To build out its research model, CSIS created six classifications of malicious cyber activity including the loss of IP, cybercrime, the loss of sensitive business information, opportunity costs like service disruptions, and reputational damage.
In June, McAfee released a report that found the average firm takes nearly 10 hours to detect a security breach, which could lead to even more financial loss.
As more research emerges around the tangible impact of cybercrime, businesses will have no choice but to take security more seriously, and will turn to their web hosting and infrastructure providers for solutions. A recent report by IDC predicts that the global market for cybersecurity solutions will reach $870 million by 2017.
A second report is forthcoming which will look at the impact of cyber security losses on the pace of innovation, and the social costs associated with crime and job loss.
While cybercrime may impact innovation, patent trolls are another factor affecting US jobs and economic costs. According to Boston University, patent trolls cost the US economy about $29 billion in 2011.
The full CSIS and McAfee report is available for download on the CSIS website. | 2019-04-24T08:14:30 | https://www.americanis.net/2013/cybercrime-job-loss/ |

sewing in the past: chocolate emergency.
ever felt like you needed some chocolate? really, terribly badly. but had no time to cook a big chocolate cake?
Coat the inside of a mug with nonstick cooking spray. Put all ingredients in mug and stir with a fork until smooth. You can also stir in chocolate chips, nuts or anything else your heart desires. Microwave for 1 minute. Allow to cool a little before eating! If you're feeling crazy you could top it with a spoonful of peanut butter (which melts delectably on the warm cake) or maybe some ice cream. The possibilities are endless, really.
this is possibly the most efficiently way I've spent three minutes...EVER.
haha, "Emergency Chocolate Cake"???? I love it!
You are a life saver!! I have needed a recipe like this! Thank you!
Wow. Almost makes me wish I had a microwave. Looks totally yum-ish!
Yummm... That looks really good!
oooh! Just what every girl needs!! Emergency Chocolate Cake!!! It should be on a survival list! Awesome! Thanks for posting! | 2019-04-26T12:07:36 | http://www.sewinginthepast.com/2010/08/chocolate-emergency.html |
So you’re working hard to earn a living, putting in the hours week after week, and it’s about time you took a break. A holiday is out of the question, you just want a day off to relax and unwind. Maybe you’re coming to Manchester for a concert, for the Christmas markets, or maybe you live here – you lucky devil.
Take a minute to meet the Midland – it’s been around for over 100 years and is one of Manchester’s top hotels. Home to two restaurants by Simon Rogan, The French has four AA Rosettes, while the newer Mr Cooper’s House & Garden has two AA Rosettes and was named the best UK restaurant outside of London 2015. That’s a big deal.
Part of the Q Hotels family, they recently spent £1.5million on brand new spa facilities at the Midland. Since they went to such great efforts, I decided to try the hotel and spa, and the mildly exciting Mr Cooper’s too. A One-Night Spa Break at the Midland will cost you £129pp which includes your hotel room, full use of the spa and gym during the day, one spa ‘ritual’ treatment, lunch in the Spa Cafe and breakfast before you leave the next day. Here’s what I thought of the Manchester Midland hotel Spa Package.
The Midland is opposite the Central Library, just off St Peter’s Square. It’s a minute or two walk to the Town Hall on Albert Square (where the Christmas markets are), and right around the corner from both Manchester Central exhibition centre and the Bridgewater Hall. This area is really pretty and the council have been working hard to give the whole area a shiny new urban facelift – it’s a shame they are still busy tearing up the roads to finish new tram connections at present. If you’re staying longer than one night, there are loads of great restaurants and bars within easy walking distance, but don’t miss the restaurants inside the building first.
The hotel Spa Package includes a nice big double room with it’s own sofa area, a big bathroom and a desk for anyone who has work to do. Hopefully you won’t on this trip! I checked in with my girlfriend at around 11:30am so we could leave our bags before heading straight to the spa. The room was ready and waiting for us, and they also check as you arrive whether you’d like to eat in the hotel that evening. You will need to book as both of the restaurants are popular.
The Midland has a nice sense of grandeur to it, from the lobby to the decor throughout. It doesn’t all feel brand new but things like a piano bar in the lobby and the marble flooring set the Midland apart from a minimal modern outfit.
Head down to the spa a few minutes before your treatment time at least. The whole idea of the Spa at the Midland is for you to relax while you take your time using the facilities and enjoying the different spaces. You’re free to use the small pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam rooms on the day of your treatment, as well as the hotel gym. They have lockers for your belongings and once you’ve filled in a short form you’re set to use the facilities. If your treatment is first then you’ll be met by your therapist and taken to a treatment room. The first 5 minutes is spent as a consultation and you pick the scented ESPA oil you’d like to use. The one that smells nicest to you is supposedly the one your body needs most.
The One-Night Spa Package includes a choice of Ritual – they have five to choose from and they’re a mixture of massages, exfoliations, masks and hand/feet treatments. Each one lasts about 55 minutes, and being the backpacker I usually am, I went for the ‘City Living – Fit For Business Back Ritual’. This one sounds aimed more at the blokes among us and actually did wonders for my back (thank you Nicola!). The Deep Massage was the main reason I picked it, but my skin has never felt as fresh after the exfoliation and back mask too – a first for me. I was utterly relaxed as my back mask did its work, with the heated massage table and leg massage nearly putting me sound asleep.
Another option for couples (or anyone you’d happily go to a spa with, friends, family etc) is the Rasul Experience Ritual. We considered this and it sounds like a great way to relax with much more focus on treating your skin. There’s no massage element with the Rasul Experience though and I was glad we didn’t go for it in the end. There’s still plenty of time in your spa day to relax with whoever you bring along so don’t worry about that if you choose separate treatments.
After your treatment you get to enjoy the rest of the spa. The relaxation room is the biggest selling point here, my favourite being the cushioned pods that hang gently from the ceiling. They have lots of other chairs and spaces to lounge in, including some single beds with reading lights if you want to bring a book, and there’s a selection of teas and fresh water to keep you hydrated.
The pool area is nice although not big enough for a swim. It’s got some interesting features, like a ‘Hurricane shower’ that mimics different types of torrential downpours, and the usual jacuzzi, sauna and steam room.
If you’re planning to use the gym on your visit I’d recommend you book a later treatment and hit the gym beforehand. I felt so mellow and peaceful after my Ritual that attempting exercise was completely out of the question, even with loads of time before dinner.
Included in the spa package is lunch at the Spa Cafe. You choose when you’d like it to be ready as you first arrive, and then it will be waiting for you on one of the small café tables. We ordered two of the lunch platters, without knowing what kind of portions to expect. They are modest but very delicately put together with nice ingredients. Two of the 10 plates we tried lacked flavour (hello, the Panna cotta) or actually tasted bad (looking at you, strange vegetarian soup!) but the rest of the dishes were really tasty. It’s not a lunch that would fill you up but it’s perfect after a treatment, and especially if you’re saving yourself for dinner – which trust me, you should be!
The last thing your spa package in Manchester includes is a Full English breakfast. Breakfast is served in Mr Cooper’s just off the hotel lobby, and the staff are as attentive as they are during dinner service. There’s everything you’d expect from a really nice hotel breakfast, with most of the continental options self-service, hot food and anything else you just order with your waiter. Perfect if you have plans in the city centre for the day.
So, I really enjoyed my stay at the Midland and thought the Spa Package was good value for money. What do you think? Would you visit this Manchester Spa hotel?
For anyone who lives close enough I’d also recommend the spa treatments without necessarily having to splash out on the hotel room as well. Massages are around £65, and the 60 minute Rasul treatment for two people is only £50 for both of you.

“Days before the guests stepped onto the boat at Port Everglades, Fort Lauderdale to set sail to the Exotic Ports of Cozumel Mexico, Panama and Costa Rica every passenger assumed the identity of their highest aspiration. They were told, the moment the passengers stepped aboard they were on the set of a Hollywood film on health, wealth, love and opulence. With this mind set they were encouraged to present their best selves on the Marketing Cruise because they were showcased in the background as world-class entrepreneurs later green screened behind Hollywood stars in the movie “Opulas”. The Marketing Cruise passengers looked and felt the part of authority, business super stars as their success stories written in advance aligned reality with their healthy, prosperous, mental, emotional, physical and spiritual desires and intentions.
Locked into their sub conscious minds was the passengers’ ability to quickly identify and work with the best and skip they rest. Through the success template they co-authored with “Opulas” playwright, movie director and Scripting for Success founder over skype days earlier, they were able to exude the confidence and lazar focus of their business relationship and income desires as they were magnetically drawn to their ideal strategic alliance partners day one of the cruise.
The synchronicities were uncanny and wildly profitable, since they test-drove their ideal conversations, business connections and strategic alliances in a reality transforming Scripting for Success session before come aboard. During the Marketing Cruise they reinforced their desires and intensions by reading their scripts: short success stories, success headlines and ideal conversations whenever they wanted to feel good.
One of the most popular activities on the cruise was a whole day dressed the part as their childhood superhero and dream career. The staff and passengers were so accommodating. They treated the assumed characters as the special guests in the roles they were playing. When the characters did talk business or give talks they referred to themselves in third person speaking in the highest regard of what their best friend and strategic partner brought to the table. To their delight and amazement, this elevated the conversations to such a height of creativity, problem solving and wealth consciousness beyond what the veterans of Marketing Cruise had ever experienced. For example, on the second day a product developer took on the role as talented musician and dressed and acted the part. He felt the rush of people addressing him accordingly. A business consultant dressed the part as her childhood dream as a professional dancer and wore stage worthy performance attire, and a best selling author dressed as a fire fighter and went out of his way to help others in that be of service to other capacity.
With their ideal outcomes already scripted their conversations as a skilled musician, dancer and fire fighter easily gave way to the answers they were seeking in their professional careers with such clarity that they had wished they had stepped out of their limited stories much sooner!
When they fully threw themselves into character during the talks, group activities, meals and outings, major career challenges were solved and income miracles happened easily and naturally. Role playing with others as their dream come true selves generated the biggest breakthroughs of their careers while acting out the bountiful heart and mindset of their childhood aspirations. | 2019-04-24T10:33:49 | https://www.scriptingforsuccess.com/2012/02/marketing-cruise/ |

I was surprised last week by King Tuff’s new song, The Other, brilliant, but brooding and in no hurry to get where it was going. This one is closer to the King Tuff I know, catchy and upbeat, but still not the punky, economical, garage rock of the past couple albums. Dare I say this one veers toward pop? Whatever, still sounds good to me.
“Middle America” from a surely upcoming album.
Pavement master mind Stephen Malkmus is back at it with a fairly laid back, kinda country, kinda jammy, definitely catchy indie rock single in his singular style. If you like the more mellow side of Pavement or Malkmus’ previous output, I’d guess you’ll dig this, too. | 2019-04-20T16:20:40 | http://www.hissinglawns.com/2018/02/12/new-music-monday-2-12-18/ |

There is plenty at stake on the final day of another exciting season.
FOR A LEAGUE that is often degraded, there is never any shortage of entertainment in the SEE Airtricity League.
Another fascinating season comes to a head this evening with the destination of the title yet to be decided and while all eyes will be on Oriel Park, there is equally significant games being played elsewhere.
That both the race for the title and the less glamorous, albeit equally thrilling, relegation dogfight have come down to the final set of fixtures only underlies the virtues that makes the league what it is. The detractors are the ones missing out.
At the top of the table, the equation is simple. After Dundalk relinquished top-spot to Cork City last week, they know nothing less than three points will be enough to clinch the title that many feel their performances over the course of the last seven months have merited.
However, Cork, who have a slender one-point advantage, are in pole position. John Caulfield’s side just need to avoid defeat and the title is theirs. The stakes couldn’t be higher in the winner-takes-all bout.
In addition to the glory, acclaim and bragging rights (not forgetting the €100,000 cheque), the league winners go into the Champions League second qualifying round for 2015/16 season.
The clubs who finish second and third as well as the FAI Cup winners will enter the Europa League qualifying first round. But, here’s where you have to pay attention.
St Patrick’s Athletic’s superior goal difference means they’re all but assured of third spot but Shamrock Rovers, who will finish fourth, may sneak into Europe if their Dublin rivals end their cup hoodoo next week. Derry City might have something to say about that, however.
Firstly, the Candystripes will be hoping to secure a top-half finish when they face Bohemians at Dalymount Park. They do, however, require Limerick to slip-up in Tallaght to finish in sixth.
Bray Wanderers showed all their grit and tenacity in recent weeks to avoid being dragged into the relegation scrap. Yet, they could still have a significant part to play as the Seagulls, who secured their Premier Division status last week, travel to Athlone to face the league’s bottom club.
That the Midlanders go into the final game with their heads still above water is in achievement in itself. They started the campaign with ten consecutive defeats but halted that run with a point against tonight’s opponents. It would be a remarkable turnaround should they pull off the great escape.
It’s in UCD hands though. An unexpected, but priceless, win at the Brandywell last time out ensured the Students remained above the line but their cushion over Athlone is just a point.
Aaron Callaghan will be hoping his side can take care of their own business and not rely on results elsewhere. Victory over Drogheda would relegate Athlone and send UCD into the relegation/promotion play-off with either Galway or Shelbourne. Anything less than three points would open the door for Keith Long’s side.
Athlone’s superior goal difference means, should UCD slip to another home defeat, they would only require a draw to give themselves a lifeline. Got that?
The side that finishes 11th will face a two-legged tie against either Galway or Shelbourne. President Michael D Higgins will be at Tolka Park for tonight’s second leg between the two sides with Galway leading 2-0.

Some 100 major construction sites will soon receive a checklist from national water agency PUB that could help them prevent flash flooding ahead of the monsoon season.
The list will alert contractors to keep to approved drainage plans and practise good housekeeping and safety.
PUB will be rolling out the checklist starting next week.
It also recommends that worksites take measures, such as installing closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras to monitor construction works and establish good communication channels with the agency.
It will also intensify checks at worksites to ensure public drains around them are unobstructed.
These efforts are, in part, to avoid a repeat of the flash floods in Upper Thomson on Christmas Eve last year. PUB investigations showed that contractor Sato Kogyo had, without informing the agency, built a temporary diversion drain that was undersized at the Upper Thomson MRT station construction site.
The unauthorised drainage diversions led to flooding that cost businesses thousands of dollars.
Average number of flood days each year, over the past three years.
Number of flood days in 2013.
GA Construction general manager Joseph Liew said that while the company does not have the checklist yet, many of the recommendations are already present at some, if not most, of its sites.
He noted that there are already CCTV cameras at some sites. And while they were not put up to monitor flooding specifically, he said the hardware was in place. He added that the firm would adhere to PUB's recommendations.
At a briefing yesterday, PUB said it will focus more on construction sites that have major canals running through them.
Mr Choy Wai Kwong, PUB's chief engineer for drainage operations, said 28 sites have been identified.
Major drains traverse these sites, and any blockages would result in a knock-on effect during heavy rain.
"If there is a blockage, it will disrupt the flow of more minor drains, causing floods to affect more areas," said Mr Choy.
PUB is also working with the Land Transport Authority to check critical areas such as road tunnels, vehicular underpasses and some MRT stations with flood protection barriers.
Advisories will also be sent to residents and businesses in flood-prone areas.
PUB said the public can help by staying updated on weather warnings and ensuring that they keep drains clear.
In the past three years, Singapore has averaged nine flood days a year, with rainfall levels reaching 200mm to 300mm in some places.
This is much fewer than in the past. There were 36 flood days in 2013.
This year has already seen several incidents of flash floods around the island, with four locations flooding in the past three months.
Last Thursday, heavy rain caused flash floods in Hougang that subsided after about 15 minutes.
Student Chris Wong, 24, who lives near Balmoral Road, which flooded earlier this year, said he did not know if his family had received a PUB advisory, but he makes use of the PUB app during inclement weather.
He said: "It's good to keep track because if it starts flooding, I can avoid the hassle by staying at home or keeping away from the area." | 2019-04-18T18:32:30 | https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/pub-steps-up-efforts-to-prevent-flash-floods |

Being a premium VPN provider, there can be a few drawbacks to ExpressVPN when you compare it to its competitors. Though these drawbacks have zero effect on the incredible service offered by ExpressVPN. The major and maybe the only drawback of ExpressVPN when compared to other VPN services is its price. However, ExpressVPN does offer different discount offers which can give you the same excellent service at limited cost.
Let’s be honest, nothing comes for free, and if you’re looking for exceptional VPN performance and security, then ExpressVPN is probably worth the money.
Moreover, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee offered by ExpressVPN in all of their packages that means you can enjoy its service absolutely for 30 days. If you’re satisfied with their service and want to continue with them, it will charge you once your chosen subscription expires.

Slightly more expensive: the prices are high on all of their subscription plans, however, they frequently offer discounts on each plan and sometimes it also brings promotional packages that can give you up to 70-80% of discount.
Only 3 multi-logins: this is the only technical issue we found with ExpressVPN. You can only connect 3 devices with your ExpressVPN account.
ExpressVPN also offers Smart DNS service with each package. Smart DNS is a method used to access geographically-restricted content and websites. What this technology does is it replaces the default DNS assigned by your ISP in order to spoof your geographical location.
Smart DNS service is useful in unblocking streaming services like Netflix US and BBC iPlayer that are geo-restricted outside their designated regions. The services work by resolving your DNS requests from a specified location or region.
Smart DNS is fast since there is no encryption done, this means you won’t face buffering issues as often as without it. Smart DNS can be used on many internet-enabled devices including Roku, PS4 or Xbox. However, Smart DNS doesn’t provide you with any form of security or privacy online. But you can still get this service easily with ExpressVPN.
ExpressVPN’s Stealth Servers are based in Hong-Kong and specifically designed to defeat online censorship in mainland China and anywhere where VPNs are blocked. Although ExpressVPN hasn’t opened up about how these stealth servers actually work, however, from evaluation, they work pretty darn well.
It’s sometimes really difficult to access a VPN provider’s website to sign up, let alone defeat online censorship in China with a VPN. However, stealth servers can be just the thing you need to do that.
For those who frequently perform location-specific activities like gambling or betting, ExpressVPN gives Kill Switch feature that automatically switches off/kill any website or software you are currently using in case your network connection gets lost. This means, even when your secure network is gone, your device protection is still there to keep you safe.
You may have experienced a significant drop in your connection speeds, well it’s your internet provider throttling your bandwidth. But ExpressVPN stops your ISP from throttling and limiting your internet bandwidth. ExpressVPN gives you unlimited bandwidth allowing you to download and stream HD movies and videos without getting concerned about your internet speeds.
With ExpressVPN’s 2000+ servers in 148 countries worldwide, users can connect to as many servers as they want any time they want to. You can switch between different servers without any limitations and worries.
ExpressVPN is not only known for their exceptional services but also for the premium prices on their subscription plans. Yes, they may be charging you a few extra dollars, however, their service quality is worth the money they are asking for.
ExpressVPN is offering three standard subscription packages with prices varying on the duration of the subscription. The higher the subscription duration is, the less you have to pay.

ExpressVPN gives you a variety of payment options, approximately 23 to get your payments through. The payment options include credit cards, PayPal, Bitcoin and others. Payment through Bitcoin will be great for those who want to keep their payment process anonymous.
The best thing about ExpressVPN is its compatibility across all platforms, meaning users can use the service on a wide range of VPN-enable devices. ExpressVPN have user-friendly apps for a number of the device including Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. Furthermore, if your device is not VPN supported, you can configure ExpressVPN on router ExpressVPN’s VPN server addresses and connect your preferred device to the now VPN-configured router.

These browser extensions aren’t just simple browser-only proxy servers, but instead, they work like a full desktop software and they need to be installed. Once you turn on the browser extension, they will give you access to global content as well as online privacy and device security.
ExpressVPN is one of the best VPN websites we have come across. In terms of simplicity and user-experience, everything is just at the right place and you won’t have any problems in accessing or navigating through different pages. The website feels well-organized and there is a whole lot of information you could make use of.

We didn’t try the iOS app, however, the process is same as Android when downloading and installing the VPN on iOS.
ExpressVPN runs a wide network of servers, 2000 approximately, at 148 locations in 94 countries worldwide. This means that it will allow you to anonymously and safely access the website from 148 different locations without going anywhere.
ExpressVPN servers are distributed between physical and virtual servers. They have 34 servers in the US alone. ExpressVPN also has 61 servers in the UK while around 33 in the Asian region. Whichever server you connect to, it will have almost zero effect on the speeds and performance of the service.
To guarantee secure, fast, and reliable VPN connection, ExpressVPN is also offering virtual server locations in a number of countries. When you connect to a virtual location, your whole online traffic will come from the IP address of the country you connected to but the traffic will be routed through a secure server in a country with a better connection. It’s especially great when you’re connecting to a region far away from your current location.
Smart location is a feature that automatically picks the VPN server location suitable to your connection. The feature runs an algorithm that ranks servers locations based on key metrics like distance, latency, and download speed.

Being a British Virgin Island-based VPN provider, ExpressVPN does not follow the US online privacy or data retention laws. It is not obliged to share user’s data to ISP or government and will not keep logs of your online traffic. British Virgin Island is a British overseas territory and is not part of the 14 Eyes surveillance treaty.
Except for your email ID, ExpressVPN does not collect our personal information for its service. Your email is only required to address technical issues or sent service messages, and nothing more. In simple words, ExpressVPN doesn’t keep traffic logs that can be used to identify you or trace you. But instead, they follow the no-log policy to keep your activities private and secure.
ExpressVPN uses the highest encryption in AES 256-bit with SHA-512 HMAC authentication and RSA-4096 handshake to encrypt your online activities from prying eyes.
From the security point of view, ExpressVPN also allows bitcoin payment, which will enable you to send payments anonymously. Another thing to note is that ExpressVPN works using shared IP addresses, meaning that you don’t have to worry that someone will be able to track you easily.

ExpresssVPN offers impressive customer service. There is a 24/7 live chat available through which you can contact them at any time, and they will respond straight away. We tried the live chat and their support team was quick to respond and were professional with their answers. Overall, their response was quick and we were satisfied with how they handled our questions.
Beside live chat, there is a contact form and email support as well through which you can contact them. Moreover, you will also find a huge support page on the website which basically provides you with all the detailed information about the service. Included in the support section are VPN setup tutorials, troubleshooting guides, and more. The tutorial section is all about how you can setup ExpressVPN on your device if you’re just getting started. The guides in the tutorials were really well put in a defined step-by-step manner, and it was pretty easy to configure devices using those tutorial guides. We tried to use one of the guides to setup VPN for iOS and it didn’t take long for us to finish. We browse a few things to see if the services are working properly and are any good, we are literally amazed by the speeds and ease of access we had with ExpressVPN.
Apart from setup tutorials, there is also troubleshooting guides, which are really helpful in times when you are facing a technical issue with the service. The troubleshooting guides also include step by step solutions that are thoroughly defined to help users immediately solve any issue they are facing.
To see how ExpressVPN performs in terms of speed and performance, we conducted a few tests to evaluate the downloading and uploading speeds we receive when connected to their servers in the different location. We also tried to access popular streaming platforms and see if we are able to stream high-quality content without any problems or delays.
The final results of our speed tests show that ExpressVPN indeed has great performance and speed. When we connected to their UK server, we didn’t saw any drop in speed. We were able to access geo-restricted websites as well as streaming platforms like Netflix and BBC iPlayer and were able to stream high-quality videos without any buffering.
Similarly, when we switched to its US server, there was a little drop in speed but that didn’t stop us from accessing Netflix US and Hulu and were able to stream in HD.
Netflix is protected with advanced security mechanism to stop international users from accessing the service. But don’t worry about that because ExpressVPN unblocks Netflix without any problems. To unlock Netflix outside US, simply connect to any of ExpressVPN’s US server, preferably New York or Los Angles server and you will be able to access Netflix from anywhere.
What other services can I access with ExpressVPN?
Apart from Netflix, you can access other streaming services like Hulu, BBC iPlayer, ITV, Kodi, PopcornTime, and more without any issues. If you’re an avid streamer who wants to watch all the latest TV shows and movies, then using ExpressVPN will give you instant access to all your favorite streaming services.
For those who want to access Hulu outside of US, you can do that by connecting to any US server and enjoy streaming on Hulu. If you want to access popular UK channels through BBC iPlayer or ITV, simply connect to ExpressVPN’s UK servers and instantly catch your favorite UK channels on your VPN-enabled devices.
For Kodi and PopcornTime Fans, you must know that these services work on BitTorrent protocols and fetches streaming content from illegal sources. This is where ExpressVPN can also help protect your online privacy while you’re streaming movies and shows on Kodi and PopcornTime.
When it comes to torrenting and P2P file sharing, ExpressVPN is certainly the VPN to go for. ExpressVPN offers P2P optimized servers that are ideal for torrenting. Moreover, ExpressVPN has the performance and privacy to let you torrent and share P2P files anonymously.
Another thing to remember is that ExpressVPN doesn’t keep traffic logs of its users and follows a strict no-log policy, which means every ExpressVPN user can enjoy anonymous torrenting and P2P file-sharing services without worrying about getting into trouble. Again, as we have shown you the results from our speed tests which indicates ExpressVPN servers are incredibly fast and you can easily download your favorite torrent files with complete anonymity.
Also, the wide network of servers allows you to connect to different locations and avoid the hassle of being tracked by your ISP or government. ExpressVPN offer server locations that are torrent-friendly, such as Netherlands and Switzerland. By connecting to these locations, you can torrent at high-speeds and with complete privacy and anonymity.
What Makes ExpressVPN better than other VPNs?
There is so much to compare when we talk about which VPN is better than the other, but in case of ExpressVPN, there is little to say against the dominance it has over other VPN in terms of value and quality. There may be other VPN providers as good as ExpressVPN but when it comes to consistency in delivering quality services and support, there is no one that can come close to ExpressVPN.
It’s possible to argue against the high subscription prices of ExpressVPN, however, as soon as go past the pricing stage, you will see that ExpressVPN comes out on top due to the greater value it offers for every dollar. For a little extra dollars, you will get an incredibly fast and secure VPN service with almost to zero drawbacks, plus highly-functional features like the kill switch, and exceptional performance. In addition, ExpressVPN also gives you immaculate online security and privacy thanks to its amazing VPN features that offer protection and convenience whenever you go online.
Many VPN users or even potential users will find ExpressVPN expensive, but it’s worth that extra money if you’re going for a reliable VPN service. ExpressVPN offers you complete device security and online anonymity no matter what purpose of use is, be it accessing geo-blocked websites or access streaming services like Netflix, or you are simply looking to protect your online privacy.
With ExpressVPN you can protect up to 3 different devices simultaneously. This may be a drawback for the service since many VPN providers now offer up to 10 simultaneous connections. However, the overall service is definitely better than other VPN providers. The number of servers offered by ExpressVPN is huge, and the speed is incredibly fast even when connected to a far location. The apps are really easy to use and come with all the features provided by ExpressVPN.
The subscription plans are what bugs many users, but ExpressVPN does include a 30-day money back guarantee. So, if you’re not satisfied with their service, you can simply ask for a full refund.
The customer service is also top-notch. You will find live chat available on the website if you’ve questions to ask about the services, you can connect them via the live chat and they will probably respond within a couple of seconds. Further, there is a great deal of information available on the website in form of support, so if you encounter any issues, you can check them out for quick solutions.
Overall, we were satisfied with the ExpressVPN service. The service may be lacking in some areas but they are still the best when it comes to providing strong online security and access to global content, which is what every user wants. | 2019-04-23T02:34:41 | https://topvpnservice.com/reviews/expressvpn/ |

During the first half of the program, Linda Moulton Howe, reporter and editor for Earthfiles, presented an update on unusual animal deaths and disappearances. Specifically, Linda spoke about an unusual case in Pondera County, Montana where a mutilated cow appears to have been dropped from the sky.
According to Linda, the dead cow's udder had been excised as well as the rectal/vaginal region. The animal's left eyeball and ear, jaw flesh and tongue had also been removed. There were no signs of predatory attack, she explained, noting that traces of blood and animal tracks (even from the mutilated cow) were also conspicuously absent in the vicinity. Linda said the cow's condition was typical of animal mutilations worldwide, and suggested that these unfortunate animals are being used by a 'non-human intelligence' for genetic research or food.
The evidence seems to indicate that the animal fell from a considerable height, as its body hit the ground with enough force to bounce to its final resting place several feet away, Linda said. She speculated that an advanced beam technology was used to pick up the Pondera County cow.

Whenever shares are bought from the market, the share gets transferred to the Client’s Demat Account which is also known as the Client Beneficiary or Demat Holdings. These are the clear holdings of the clients. There is no encumbrance or any third party’s interest in the shares as the whole value has been paid for those shares.
Even though the shares held in demat account form part of the client assets, they are illiquid in nature. The client cannot use these assets to use as security to buy or trade further. However, a client can pledge the shares held in his demat account with his broker to get additional trading margin against his shares. Such shares which are pledged with the broker is known as Collateral Holdings. They are also known as pledged holdings. The broker deducts a certain percentage as haircut for the price fluctuation of the holdings and allow the client trading limits for the balance amount.
The broker will deduct any debit balance in the client account while selling the shares or releasing the pledge. All the corporate action benefits like Dividend, Bonus, Rights Issue, etc shall accrue to the client and not to the broker since the client continues to be the end beneficiary of the shares. There would be a nominal charge for pledging and unpledging of shares.
To check the collateral holdings in NEST Trader, go to the menu option “View Order / Trade Reports” and select “View Holdings/Collateral Values” (Shortcut key – “Alt + F9”).
Here if there are holdings pledged as collateral would be shown in the window “Margin / Collateral Holdings”. | 2019-04-22T00:41:45 | https://www.samco.in/knowledge-center/articles/what-are-collateral-holdings-or-pledged-holdings/ |

I am a blogger. Perhaps not the most devoted yet, because some days I feel like what I want to say, people won’t really want to hear. I need to get over that.
People are surprised to learn that I blog. I started out blogging as a way to keep a written and visual record of all those wonderful things that my kids say and do – there are so many little “Boo-isms” that we had forgotten about, and someone reminded me of, and you can’t record all of that properly in a baby book. Heck, I don’t think most all any of Pea’s baby book is filled out.
However, over the past 2+ years that I have been blogging, the blog has expanded from its original intent. I no longer blog solely about what the kids do or about our trips (although, I still can’t seem to get away from that entirely..); now I also write about me vent share my thoughts and feelings – and frustrations.
One of the biggest benefits to me has been feedback from those who read the blog. Sure, it’s not all great (“I don’t like your blog right now”, said my mom in a recent conversation. Turns out she didn’t like the recent Wordless Wednesday post.) That’s ok. She won’t like this one, either. Too many words, not enough pictures of the grandkids.
But having others read, and connect with what I am saying? How cool is that!
An unexpected benefit has been connecting with different communities – and other mommy bloggers – via TwitterMoms, the SITS girls, Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop bloggers…BlogFrog – I’m finding new blogs, different voices, and lots of wonderful blogs to read and be inspired by.
Most recently, it has helped me ground myself, for lack of a better expression. Moving overseas knocked me off kilter – pulled away from our beloved church, my book clubs, my community – my tribe – I’ve felt lost and adrift. This blog has given me a purpose, if nothing else, and a place for me to write.
I have a tendency to drift from project to project – I haven’t really found something I like enough to stick with – other than this blog. I love to write, but I haven’t quite learned to trust my voice yet. (You should see how many drafts I have at the moment. It’s not pretty.) I’m getting better, though.
And, bottom line, on days when I’m fighting a headache and a cranky 4 year old and a whiny 6 year old, wondering where my adorable 2 year old and loving 4 year old went, well, I can write, find some perspective – and maybe the humor in the situation.
Blogging lets me flex my creative muscle, keep my sense of humor, record the amazing in the minutiae.
It makes me happy. Even if it isn’t for everyone, every time.
Pea "loves on" Macy. Poor puppy.
Thanks for hangin’ out with me. Mwuah. I really do love you all!
I had originally started blogging back in 2004 when I had my second daughter Hannah. I wanted to be able to have a place to talk about her updates. I had already been designing websites, but blogging has always been so much more fun. | 2019-04-25T23:45:44 | https://www.mommaontherocks.com/1127/why-do-i-do-this |
A visit to the Doñana’s marshes is only complete when you get to enjoy the sighting of one of these birds. They resemble terns and fly as agile as swallows, feeding often in flight like them but being closely related to waders. Long, pointing, narrow wings, deeply forked tail, short legs and a short bill with a bright red patch at its base along with and a thin black line framing a cream-coloured throat patch, a nice set of features to build a beautiful looking bird.
Its unmistakable repetitive call blows the whistle and make us look automatically up in search of them, you always hear them before you see them. Normally in groups, as soon as they come around they fill the skies over the marshes with their sharp cries and their skilled pirouettes. Beatles, dragonflies, ants and wasps are in their diet but if someone has to be really alert are grasshoppers, their favourite dish, they catch them easily flying low over the ground.
They nest in colonies, often locating the nests over cow dungs, and defend them actively from black kites and other flying predators. If one approaches the area they react in a very alarmist way, making quick flights over our head, then they land and pretend to be injured or walk quickly and stop suddenly to raise the wings aggressively accompanying their movements with their typical moans and cries. Brave birds they are, but also very elegant. A hidden secret in their design are the large reddish patches that decorate the underside of their wings, only visible in flight under the right light or when they land. It is not uncommon to find them on the road that crosses the marshes and be able to see them at a very short distance, starting to fly again only when our vehicle is only a few meters away.
Rare in Europe, they only breed in the south of the continent, locally in Greece, the French Camargue and the Danube Delta. The biggest populations breed in Spain, at Albufera in Valencia, Ebro Delta and mainly in the southern marshes of Doñana. Strictly migrant, they come back every spring from their winter grounds in the subsaharan area and they are very wellcome every year as one of the most elegant and beautiful birds of Doñana’s Marshes. They are starting to go now, we will miss them very much, but many are still around just in case you want to come and see them. | 2019-04-23T17:01:10 | http://www.discoveringdonana.com/collared-pratincole-marsh-acrobat/ |

The foursome used to bamboozle defenders with amazing speed, ferocious shooting, arrogantly complimented by unbelievable ball skill and clinical finishing second to none, making the “Desert Boys” the most feared football team in the business.
However, none of the dangerous quartet caught the attention of the neutral football fan than the light skinned stocky winger, one Petrus Haban Adams, elder brother to former Blue Waters’ overlapping fullback, the late Bakka Adams. May their collective soul rest in peace.
Despite his lack of height, Haban was Godly blessed with an astonishing football brain that defied his tiny frame as he cut through robust defenses with ease like a sharp ‘Okapi” slicing through a piece of hot cheese.
In today’s edition of your favourite weekly sport feature Tales of the Legends, profiling our sports heroes and heroines, past and present – New Era Sport posthumously revisit the untold football journey of this phenomenal football, known as Haban Adams.
WALVIS-BAY – The year 1969, will go down in history as the season when local football finally woke up from the wilderness.
To be precise, this was the year when the visiting Kaizer Eleven from Johannesburg, South Africa touched down at the Eros Airport for a number of exhibition football matches against regional invitational teams that included the star-studded Central Eleven, Black Marocco Chiefs (BMC) representing the North and of course, the exciting Western Invitational Eleven.
Back in the day, South West Africa (SWA) to be re-baptized Namibia in the intervening years upon the country’s democracy in 1990 was forcefully and regrettably pencil as the 5th Province of Apartheid South Africa, much to the disgust of her defiant militant indigenous inhabitants.
Unfortunately, the partly semi desert enclave was made to live in the shadow of her more celebrated sister provinces, Transvaal, Natal, Free State and the Cape Province.
Sports wise, the country’s athletes would be compelled to compete in South Africa’s second tier gatherings while the minority whites were enjoying more privileges, notably in the oval ball discipline (rugby) which propelled iconic flank, the great Jan Ellis, to earn Springbok colours with distinction.
And while the minority whites were disgustingly afforded preferential treatment in whatever area of social activities they ventured into, marginalized darkies were confined to the beautiful game of football as a sense of belonging to while away time.
Football became a much practice and well respected religion in all corners of the country, it became the staple food of the body and soul of every black child in the dusty streets of their respective locations and poorly constructed residential areas.
With no organized football structures in place, clubs would travel long and challenging distances between towns to compete fiercely in knockout cup tournaments in various towns such as Walvis-Bay, Tsumeb, Keetmanshoop, Mariental, Windhoek, Okahandja, Otjiwarongo, Swakopmund, Omaruru, Gobabis, Karibib, Otavi, Grootfontein and Outjo as well as engaging in exhibition matches against local clubs in Upington and Kimberly in neighbouring South Africa.
It was during those particular tourneys that coastal outfit Namib Woestyn would announce their arrival in domestic football via an exciting brand of football never experienced before in local football.
The gold and green Walvis-Bay outfit was a marvel to watch and people would flock through the turnstiles to watch the team in action.
Namib Woestyn’s firing line was without a shadow of doubt the main attraction and who will ever forget that freezing Saturday afternoon when the Desert Boys arrived in Windhoek to confront the equally dangerous Ishmael ‘Lemmy Special’ Narib’s inspired Orlando Pirates in the final of the Yoko Team Cup.
The two teams clashed at the adjacent gravel field at the old Katutura stadium to fight it out for supremacy in the much anticipated delayed semifinal, which was stood over after ill-fated match in Keetmanshoop.
Tension was at boiling point going into the eagerly awaited clash of the titans with sharp objects hidden in the visiting players’ socks for fear of intimidation and possible physical assault.
With the score line leveled at 1-all and the match destined for a stalemate with the dreaded penalty shout out looming – up stepped Haban to put the seasiders ahead with a trademark clinical strike (2-1).
Pirates’ winger Willem Eichab, did not take kindly to Haban’s strike and kicked the pocket size winger in frustration – pandemonium broke loose with both sets of players manhandling each other until darkness set in.
The ugly fracas led to the unavoidable postponement of the match with both teams agreeing to have the match replayed in the city of bright lights (Windhoek) to cut traveling costs since the remaining teams in the tourney were all from Windhoek and Walvis-Bay respectively.
Sadly, the boys from the Atlantic Ocean lost the replay 4-1 with the Ghosts pair of Eichab and his serial partner in crime Daniel Koopman in devastating form on that particular day. Though Haban was tightly marked by the robust Buccaneers fullback Mathews “Ou Growwes” Namaseb, the diminutive winger was still at his best as he bamboozled the Ghosts’ rear guard – only to be let down by his down hearted co-strikers who were clearly playing at a pedestrian pace. Pirates won the replay 4-1 to book a spot in the final against Eleven Arrows.
Despite the setback, Namib Woestyn continued to entice football followers through the turnstiles with their exciting brand of football earning the Desert Boys the admiration of the neutral fan wherever the team featured.
Such was the club’s dominance in domestic competitions that whenever a Coastal Invitational Eleven was assembled – the team would be considered incomplete without the presence of a decent presentation from the Namib Express.
Woestyn supplied the bulk of players in the Coastal Invitational Eleven when the team faced the visiting Kaizer Eleven in 1969. The club had five players to be precise, in the starting lineup spearheaded by Haban Adams, Axarob Doeseb, Eddy Cloete, Akino Garoeb and Lala Lombard.
Even though the hastily assembled coastal invitational side lost 3-0, the boys from the Atlantic Ocean made a serious statement against the South Africa professionals with the trickery Haban running rings around the visitors’ defense.
Sadly, as fate would have it – the adorable flying winger’s life was cut short aged 29, while still at the pinnacle of his flourishing football career. Haban succumbed from a chronic asthma ailment. May his soul rest in peace. | 2019-04-23T21:53:09 | https://neweralive.na/posts/remembering-the-great-desert-express-petrus-haban-adams-1948-1977 |

Anyone can find a Forza Horizon to love. They come in all types of interests with adjustable skill levels required. They can be an excellent way to escape reality for a moment and forget your hectic life. The following paragraphs have some really good ideas regarding video FH3 Credits gaming, so pay attention!
When you are playing a Forza Horizon with shooting and you have to reload, protect yourself first. Many times people are killed off in a game because they're just standing there waiting for a gun to reload. You do not want this to be you! Find shield and security first, and then feel free to reload.
Stretch every fifteen minutes during Forza Horizon play. Your body will quickly become tight and uncomfortable from sitting in the same position for long periods of time. Exercise your muscles to prevent cramps and blood clots. It's very healthy, too.
Save your games in the appropriate slots. Try using an different one every so often. Sometimes, you get stuck right after a save point and have no other recourse than to back up in time. You can't do this if you only saved your game in one spot every time you save.
Parents must review the ESRB rating assigned to games at all times. A lot of games look like they are okay for kids, but they are not. Review the rating itself and the basis on which it was awarded.
You should enjoy gaming with your child. This can be a fantastic way to spend some quality family-time together. It can also provide you with a way to make conversation with your child as you can share a particular common interest with them. They will also benefit from having you close by to see and aid in the progression of their developmental skills.
Make use of parent control settings on Forza Horizon 3. Does the game have an online playing mode? If so, you may want to limit the access to the Internet that your children have. Check their friend requests and limit how long they play so they can stay safe.
Many games offer new items or content through either hard earned in-game points or real world money. Make sure you choose the right option! On one hand be sure that you are getting your moneys worth with your purchases. Purchased items are a quick way to get to levels that may take massive amounts of time otherwise.
Prior to allowing children to play Forza Horizon 3, check the ratings. Some games contain violence or other adult themes so they carry an adult rating. Violence can give your children the wrong values, which may show later in life. Children who are exposed to these games may experience behavioral changes and nightmares.
Make sure that you stay hydrated when playing Forza Horizon 3 for long periods of time. Forza Horizon 3 are great at helping people to escape from reality, but many people can become so engrossed in a Forza Horizon that they forget to even take time out for a drink. Drink as much water as you can during the game to stay properly hydrated.
The PlayStation 2 is no longer the cutting edge console choice, but as an inexpensive gaming unit, it still rocks. There is a remarkable difference in cost when purchasing these Cheap FH3 Credits games. Another advantage is the number of previously used games available, due to the fact that they have been around for a decade now.
There is so much involved with gaming that one article cannot cover everything. Hopefully, you have gained information to help you out with your gaming experience. Go home, kick up your feet, and play some Forza Horizon 3. | 2019-04-26T08:53:01 | https://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/topic/465520-video-gaming-strategies-for-people-who-want-to-win/ |

(PUBG). In 2017, roughly 83.3% of his 42.9M total hours watched were accrued while playing this battle royale title.
Grzesiek’s channel was Twitch’s fifth most-watched channel in 2017, yet his playthroughs of PUBG only began in August, more than four months after the game’s initial release in March of that year. His sudden viewership growth demonstrates how a streamer can become a prime target for sponsorship by combining high-level gameplay, an entertaining personality and, of course, a game that remains consistently popular with the majority of the streaming viewership market.
Grzesiek also shows how a streamer’s popularity should not be limited to a single game.
However, Grzesiek also shows how a streamer’s popularity should not be limited to a single game. In 2018 so far, Grzesiek’s total hours watched have already increased by 73.1% from last year’s total, at 74.3M at the time of publication. His channel is also currently the third most-watched of the year so far, behind Riot Games and Fortnite streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins. However, despite being on track to double his hours watched year-over-year (YoY), only 67% of those hours has come from his time streaming PUBG. It seems that, rather than relying on a single game to bolster his viewership numbers, Grzesiek is experimenting with playing other games. And so far, it’s worked.
As discussed in The Esports Observer’s Top 10 Twitch streamers list for Sept. 24-30, Grzesiek has been experimenting with jumping over to Fortnite, going so far as to take lessons from some of the best players in that game. He had rarely played Epic Game’s take on the battle royale genre, instead sticking to his guns with PUBG, so the change implied that he was potentially looking to expand his horizons. Fortnite is currently the most watched game of the year so far by total hours watched, with a 31.7% higher average concurrent viewership (avg CCV) than PUBG.
In the last week, Grzesiek has taken his biggest departure from his standard schedule, eschewing his normal focus on competitive multiplayer titles to play the latest single-player release from publisher Ubisoft, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. It’s common for newly released single-player, high-budget videogames to become the most watched titles, even if only for a week or two. Streamers want to spend time playing the game from beginning to end (or as far as they can get), and viewers want to see them do so.
From Oct. 1-7, Grzesiek spent 71% of his airtime playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and that was reflected in his hours watched numbers.
Grzesiek has streamed Assassin’s Creed Odyssey for 56 hours so far, making it far and away his most-streamed single-player title in 2018 (for comparison, he streamed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for just over 21 hours this year).
Despite playing a game entirely out of his normal comfort zone, Grzesiek saw a minimal dip last week over the week before, when he was playing esports titles. For the week of Sept. 24-30, he earned 1.95M hours watched, with an average concurrent viewership (avg CCV) of 27K. From Oct. 1-7, he drew in 1.85M hours watched with an avg CCV of 25.5K—all the while playing a single-player title.
Traditional Twitch knowledge states that the biggest streamers tend to focus on a single-player game shortly after release for good reason. Viewers can expect certain titles to be played by the most popular streamers, and when those personalities experiment with other titles on stream, numbers can drop. It’s somewhat rare that streamers occupying spots on the Top 10 lists jump from game to game without taking a hit to their numbers.
As a result, the fact that Grzesiek was able to successfully play a game without dropping too much in viewership is a testament to the strength of his personal brand.
Granted, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is the latest in a very popular, long-running franchise, and was doing well on Twitch, going so far as to hit the No. 4 spot on the Top 10 Twitch Content list last week. But the fact that Grzesiek’s stream accounted for nearly 18% of Odyssey‘s hours watched last week implies that his success had just as much to do with him as an entertainer as it did with the game’s popularity.
For brands looking for a streamer to partner with, consistency is key. Having the knowledge that Grzesiek will be able to draw eyes to logos and activations no matter what game he is playing is a boon for companies like HyperX, Madrinas Coffee, and Postmates that have partnerships already in place.
A consistent level of viewership, week after week, is one of the most important factors that sponsors should be looking at.
When examining potential partnerships with streamers, a consistent level of viewership, week after week, is one of the most important factors that sponsors should be looking at. There’s a reason why the most popular Twitch streamer in the world, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, was able to secure partnerships with Samsung, Uber Eats, and Red Bull.
However, equally important is the ability of a streamer to continue to earn viewers, no matter how the tides of popularity turn. If Fortnite suddenly dropped in popularity, where would that leave many of the Twitch streamers topping the lists every week? Some may stick around by streaming other games, but many more could fall off the radar entirely, losing their ability to find an audience.
Grzesiek has shown that he has the potential to be flexible. He can jump from game to game or genre to genre, and still retain his viewership numbers. That is very promising for any future partners, and a standard which any top Twitch personality should aim for. | 2019-04-26T00:07:18 | https://esportsobserver.com/shroud-twitch-assassins-creed/ |

After hosting a public hearing, Picture Butte town council decided to table further reading of the proposed Maple Estates bylaw pending more information.
The purpose of the proposed bylaw 874-18 — the Maple Estates bylaw — was to allow the town to identify the owner of Maple Estates Mobile Home Park manufactured home community as the assessed person for designated manufactured homes.
First reading had been performed during council’s Sept. 24 meeting.
According to accompanying documents, the Municipal Government Act (MGA) allows for a municipality to pass a bylaw requiring the owner of a manufactured home community to be the assessed person for designated manufactured homes in a manufactured home community.
According to administration, the bylaw became necessary due to issues the town has been having in collecting taxes on manufactured homes in the park dating back years.
“Town administration has not received the information that we require to effectively do our jobs. That lack of information results in negative effects on the town in two ways,” said Patrick Lyster, corporate services director for the town, during the Nov. 13 public hearing for the bylaw.
Coun. Cynthia Papworth asked that if they had a number that they were behind on in collecting in terms of tax arrears. Town CAO Keith Davis said that they have had no manufactured home go into the tax arrears process, but the issue is that they don’t have the required information, should it occur.
According to Division 8.1: Recovery of Taxes Related to Designated Manufactured Homes, of the MGA, under Reporting Requirements, it states that “(1) Unless a municipality passes a bylaw to the contrary, the owner of a manufactured home community must provide monthly reports to the chief administrative officer or a designated officer of the municipality regarding (a) the ownership of all designated manufactured homes in the manufactured home community, including the serial numbers of the designated manufactured homes, and (b) the movement of all designated manufactured homes in and out of the manufactured home community”.
That section of the MGA also grants municipalities the ability to pass a bylaw requiring the owner of the manufactured home community to provide the reports required under the above stated section to the municipality on the dates specified by the municipality, but not more than once a month.
Lyster noted that the serial number was a “very important part for that tax arrears process”, to ensure the town doesn’t become indebted by a community member they can’t collect from.
As they haven’t been receiving “complete information”, administration felt this was the best way to proceed, and a memo from administration containing an incomplete timeline of events dates back to 2007.
No one attending the public hearing spoke in favour of the bylaw, and no letters were received by administration supporting the bylaw.
When asked who opposed the bylaw, Dan Chronik, a Picture Butte resident and the owner of Maple Estates Mobile Home Park, was one of the people who spoke up, saying the issue wasn’t something that changes daily, as people weren’t “coming and going”.
Chronik said that that if he was going to have to start setting up bills to collect the taxes himself, the cost to do so would be passed down to residents of the manufactured homes park, who pay the same taxes as everyone else does in the town — despite not enjoying benefits such as sidewalks — but would have to pay him extra in order to pay the same tax.
Chronik also pointed out that is he was going to administer the assessment for the people who pay monthly as part of their rent, under the Mobile Home Tendencies Act, he can’t raise rent for six months, so he won’t be able to recoup those costs during that time.
One resident of Maple Estates, Donna Adams said she paid her taxes on time, and asked council, “what have you’ve given me”, noting the lack of amenities in Maple Estates compared to other areas in town.
As Chronik would now have to collect the town’s taxes from her, she will have to pay that additional cost and receive nothing extra in return.
“If I want to walk to work, I have to stumble across the schoolyard, because there’s no sidewalks, there is no town transit,” said Adams, adding she also did not like her personal information from her taxes being available for anyone to see.
In response to a question, Lyster said it was “a little bit of a misconception” that someone’s assessment was not public information, as anyone could come to the town office and request to see either a tax certificate for any property in town— which would show the tax status and assessment status of that property — or, as per the MGA, come in and, after paying the fee set by council, inspect the assessment roll — which is a report of every property in town.
“There isn’t an implied privacy there, and the reason for that is we want to be open with the assessments, to show that no one person is living in a mansion but pays best price with the assessor with something like that. It’s an open process,” said Lyster.
Another issue that was raised was that some of the residents in Maple Estates may pay their taxes in their mortgage payment, and concern was raised that if the bylaw goes through, how they would deal with that without the homeowner having to rewrite their mortgage. Lyster said that they would have to be an arrangement made with the mortgage company.
Other people speaking against the bylaw cited concerns including privacy, tax increases, school taxes, a lack of information on the issue and frustration over the town and the owners not reaching an agreement beforehand on what to do over the two trailers without serial numbers.
Davis stressed that if council were to pass the bylaw, it wouldn’t go into effect until after one year from the date of passing.
Davis said that over the years, the town has been asking “constantly” about the issue with the serial numbers, and there hasn’t been anything done to come up with a “compromise or workable solution”.
Mayor Cathy Moore asked if the issue was just over the serial numbers, to which Davis replied it was over “other things as well”.
Feist asked that for those mobile homes without serial numbers, what happens in case of a fire, asking if the owners wouldn’t need serial numbers for things such as insurance purposes.
Chronik said that although the resident would need it, he wouldn’t.
“My understanding is, all the information that we can give you, you’ve had for a while. If somebody who owns a trailer lives in northern Alberta, chooses to change his address and not inform me, it’s very difficult for me to give you that information properly because I don’t talk to him every month,” said Chronik.
“I give you the information as quick as I can and when I get it. You have every serial number except two.
Two letters were submitted in opposition of the bylaw, citing concerns raised in the meeting.
Later in the meeting, after the public hearing closed, council returned to the bylaw. During discussion, Feist noted there was “lots to think on” and proposed that they table the bylaw to allow for more discussion of what they heard during the public hearing.
“Is it mandatory, is it not mandatory? Do you know what I mean,” asked Feist. “Table it, and lets discuss all that was said here tonight.
Davis said that administration could ask and answer those questions “to the best of our ability” and get back to council.
Coun. Joe Watson noted that there was a “certain amount of urgency” for council to pass the bylaw before the end of December, so it would go into effect in 2020, otherwise t would go into effect in 2021.
“It’s a loose end that’s been flopping out there forever, and it’s got to get wrapped up. I’m just not absolutely clear on what our actions would be if we did not do this,” said Watson.
Watson said in the previous MGA, serial numbers could be fabricated in these instances, but that ability was taken away in the new MGA, which could have “solved our problem here”, and supported the proposal to table the bylaw for further discussion, although he recognized they had a deadline.
Council passed a unanimous motion to table the bylaw. | 2019-04-19T02:21:31 | http://www.sunnysouthnews.com/news/2018/11/27/picture-butte-council-tables-maple-estates-bylaw/ |
Fourth Street continues to advise Eristyle Kazakhstan on a new mountain resort in the Tian Shan mountains near Shymkent, providing recommendations on the product offer, positioning and delivery strategy, as well as producing the project financial plan and investment memorandum.
Kazakhstan is a large landlocked country equivalent in size to Western Europe but with a population of only 17 million. With such a small and dispersed population and limited inbound tourism, any proposals for new or unusual leisure concepts need to be carefully considered and tactically developed through a phased approach that allows for market growth over time.
Encouraged by a successful Asian Winter Games hosted in Astana and Almaty in 2011, the Government has acknowledged the opportunity afforded by the spectacular Tian Shan mountain range on southern edge of Kazakhstan. The Government invited Akmoinak TDC LLP – an established Kazakh contractor and developer –to lead on the delivery of a new mountain resort in Kaskasu.
After an initial terrain assessment by Ecosign Mountain Resort Planners, Fourth Street was commissioned to review the proposals, assess the market opportunity and provide specific recommendations on the development strategy, real estate mix, market positioning and phasing strategy.
With little existing demand for skiing product in Kazakhstan (most of it centred around Almaty), the project team lighted on a phased strategy with a diversified mix to meet the leisure needs of a fast emerging middle class in Shymkent, in aid of a longer term strategy to grow the resort over time and in pace with increased demand for mountainside product and property.
Fourth Street was recently re-commissioned to help advance the project, notably by advising on business models, delivery and operational structures, and the overall financial plan. Having made material advances on finance and investment, the project was publicly announced on July 2, 2014.
Role: Through a series of commissions, Fourth Street has supported the Foundation in securing major grant funding for the Painted Hall conservation project and developing a master plan for the Old Royal Naval College estate. | 2019-04-22T18:53:49 | http://fourth-street.com/projects/kaskasu-mountain-resort/ |
In this lesson, we're going to be going through seven killer bar chord drills for the guitar. Bar chords tend to be one of the more difficult challenges to overcome for guitarists, so adding some bar chord drills to your daily practice can go a long way to finding success on the guitar.
If you're brand new to bar chords, you may want to check out these 3 Steps To Better Bar Chords.
We'll be covering 7 different drills that you can incorporate into your practice schedule to improve your bar chords on the guitar. The first three are great for players that are newer to bar chords, and the last four are a little more challenging. Choose two or three of them and practice them for just a couple minutes each day and you'll notice some major improvements in just a few short weeks.
The first bar chord drill we'll look at is simply placing your bar chord shape down and taking it off repeatedly. Doing this will help build up some basic muscle memory for the bar chord shape you're working on. You can do this with any shape that you're working on. For this lesson, we'll be using a standard G major bar chord shape.
An important aspect of bar chords is moving the shapes up and down the fretboard. Starting with whichever shape you're working on, move the whole shape up one fret at a time. You'll notice you'll have to scrunch your fingers up as you move up the fretboard so that your fingers fit between the frets.
For the next bar chord drill, we'll work on changing between major and minor shapes. The most commonly used bar chord shapes are the E and A major and minor shapes. It's important to be able to quickly go between your major and minor shapes. Practice going back and forth between major and minor shapes on the same fret.
Another transition you'll need to have down when playing bar chords is moving between E and A shapes. It's important to be able to move back and forth between the shapes on many different frets to get used to the different spacing. You'll also want to do this with both major and minor shapes.
For the next drill, we'll apply our bar chords to a proper chord progression. A I IV V progression is one of the most common chord progressions you'll encounter as a guitarist. For this drill, you'll start by playing a G major bar chord using the E shape. Then you'll go to a C major, D major, and end back on the G major. This exercise is great because it gives you some more clear musical context.
For our sixth bar chord drill, we'll practice the same I IV V progression using different bar chord shapes. You'll start with a G major bar chord using the A shape. From there you'll go to a C major and D major shape, both of which will be using the E shape. Finally, go back to the G major A shape bar chord. This drill might be a little more challenging since the frets are so close together making it hard to fit all your fingers in there.
For the final bar chord drill, we'll try a workout pattern. For this exercise, we'll go from our E shape to our A shape, then move up one fret, and go from our A shape to our E shape. Next, you'll go up a fret and go from your E shape to your A shape, and back and forth as you climb up the fretboard. Remember, you may have to play the shapes differently as the space between your frets gets smaller.
Choose a few of these drills to add to your practice time depending on what skill level you're at, and be sure to change up the drills you're practicing to keep it interesting. Working on these drills every day will help you to see some major progress with your bar chords. | 2019-04-23T14:42:09 | https://www.guitarlessons.com/guitar-lessons/guitar-lessons-for-beginners/7-killer-bar-chord-drills |

[Dolezal] is an extreme example of a common phenomenon. The "immersion" stage is typified by White people taking more responsibility for racism and privilege and often experiencing high levels of anger and embarrassment for racism and privilege, which they sometimes direct towards other Whites. They sometimes try to immerse themselves in communities of color, as Dolezal did. She's not alone (The Huffington Post, 2015).
The right portrays racial identity as both something that requires purity and something that does not exist in a relevant enough way to matter as a character trait. The left portrays race as something more fluid. Taking on a racial identity is about infusing the struggles and history of a group into one’s identity in such a way where you feel imbedded into the “holy spirit’ of a racial group. In a sense, the left's argument also is based on a post-racial society. One where racial identity is fully detached from a criteria in which we are able to use the word “black” to describe everything. By using any content that seeks to fill the word “black”, the word effectively means nothing.
The Right and The Left are post-racial for the same reason. To confuse the masses. To encourage the masses to engage in a debate that has little relevant content to racism, race or the lived reality of Rachel Dolezal.
Dolezal makes an absurd comment for a professor of race studies, that she never used a peach crayon when drawing herself as a child. Dolezal’s and the Right’s reduction of race to purity echo’s the one drop rule. The rule legislated that if a person had even one drop of black blood he or she became black.
The problem with this whole debate is that no one individual or organization owns blackness. Nor does blackness own blackness. Ethnic color coded identifications are fabricated social constructions used to unnaturally subcategorize humans by naturalizing these fabricated colored identities. Which is not to say that ethnic identifications don’t matter, but to say they only matter in so far as they are used by competing groups to control human behavior and ideology.
The Right is right. We are taught from a very early age to cherish ethnic, cultural and family characteristic in such a way where we internalized these traits into our identity - our very sense of self. Blackness becomes not just a color but a whole complex network of behaviors, internal identities and way to codify the world. Racial identification, or any identification taken dogmatically, structures our very relation to the world in such a way where we engage with the world not as a free actor but as a black, white, brown, or red person trap to see ourselves through a racial amalgamation. This racial amalgamation blinds us to the fact that hegemonically uniting large groups of people who all have varying histories into one narrative post-racializes history. For example, by calling the civil rights struggle a black struggle, and using the word black to identify a multiplicity black social each group is denied identity.
The point that both the Right and the Left miss is blackness is owned by nobody. Not even black people. Blackness is not a brand like Coca-cola. If someone steals Coca-Cola’s recipe and begins selling the soda as Bacon-soda, Coca-cola would be in their legal right to sue for copyright in infringement. While blackness is created and recreated by the lived experience of the groups and individuals that perform blackness on a daily basis there was never a point where a group of people sat down to legally define and trademark what it is to be black. The category of blackness is something which changes over time and changes over time in different geographical locations independent of any ruling order’s mandate.
So, what can we say about Rachel Dolezal? Yes she lied, but not about her cultural identity. She admitted to lying as she developed her political persona in order to establish an identity that would be translatable to her political base. But a politician lying in America is not news. Lying is the only way a politician can be a politician in a capitalistic democracy. A politician getting caught in a lie is hardly something out of the ordinary.
What is curious about the Dolezal debate is the use of the word “transracial.” Is Dolezal transracial? Is transracial a coherent concept for describing the performance of non-normative cultural identity? Does this mean the Offsprings song, Pretty Fly For A White Guy was really about transracial identity? | 2019-04-21T20:02:02 | https://www.interrogatingideologywithachainsaw.com/2015/08/all-things-interrogated-rachael-dolezal.html |

U.S. Congresswoman elect Ilhan Omar's win is seen as a global triumph and symbol of hope for refugees worldwide.
Last Tuesday in the U.S. state of Minnesota, thousands of miles away from Kenya, a former refugee made history. Ilhan Omar, a Somali-American who once called the East African country home, was elected to the United States Congress.
Omar, 36, fled Somalia’s conflict when she was just a child of eight years. She spent four years in a refugee camp in Kenya before she was resettled to the U.S. where years later, she would make history. As she gave a rousing victory speech following her historic win, she listed the many ‘firsts’ behind her name.
“I stand here before you tonight…as the first refugee ever elected to Congress,” she said amid applause.
Omar has also made history by becoming the first Somali-American, first hijab-wearing Muslim woman and the first woman of colour to represent Minnesota in Congress.
Ambassador Mohamed Abdi Affey, the UN Refugee Agency’s Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa reflected on Omar’s win, terming it a global victory for refugees.
The Horn of Africa is home to over 1.5 million refugees, majority of whom are from Somalia. The Special Envoy believes that Omar’s story is one that resonates with refugees, especially those living in this region, and is a symbol of enduring hope for them.
“Ilhan’s case is a true example of how refugees can contribute to their country of return,” he said, adding that Somalia has a great future because Somalis in the diaspora and in the Horn of Africa hope to return to Somalia one day to rebuild it.
Ambassador Affey, who is a strong proponent for the inclusion of refugees in the societies they live in, saw Omar’s victory as an example of how inclusion can be beneficial to host countries.
He expressed his gratitude to the host governments for their generosity, kind attention and hospitality towards refugees, adding that the best way to treat refugees is to include them in national plans.
Your election as member of the USA congress is an inspiration to the millions of #refugees on the globe and the power Of keeping hope alive.
“Refugees need to feel like part and parcel of the communities that have hosted them over a long period of time,” he added.
The Special Envoy explained that when refugees get a quality education and find opportunities for work, they are able to grow and can contribute to their country of origin more effectively when they finally return.
He also saw an opportunity for countries to invest in refugees, noting that refugees can contribute to their economic development. | 2019-04-21T00:43:14 | https://www.unhcr.org/afr/news/latest/2018/11/5be9883e4/former-refugees-historic-us-congress-win-is-a-global-victory-for-refugees.html |
In addition, a major factor in the degradation taiga are frequent forest fires, which are related both to the development of forest people, and with global warming. As they note, only 40% of the boreal forests around the world remains in pristine condition, with the greatest losses are the Russian forests, greatly run down on the area and have become much more fragmented than a few decades ago. It is sad, but if cutting boreal forests will continue at the same pace, then very soon the taiga may suffer the same fate as the Amazon forest, irreversibly degraded as a result of the economic activity of people. Scientists have identified the most unhealthy places in City Research Associates International Laboratory for Air Quality and Health Queensland University of Technology have identified the most harmful and hazardous places in the city. According to scientists, the dirtiest air in the city is concentrated in road tunnels. Concentrations of exhaust gases and fine particles exceeds all acceptable norms there at times. The study researchers found that in the tunnel of harmful substances have been thousands of times more than in other parts of the city, and when driving on such sections of the road must be closed car window. Especially dangerous is staying in the tunnel for the old (less than airtight) cars and motorcycles.
Scientists pay attention of city authorities to the fact that the design of road tunnels should be a huge responsibility to approach the clean air in them. It is also harmful to the health of citizens is a long Stay at the stop vehicles and indoor dance club filled with tobacco smoke. Global warming may be replaced by global cooling Latif, one of the world's leading climate scientists from German Marine Research Institute named after the Leibniz believes that the trend of global warming for the next two decades will change the temperature decreases. Latif predicts that in the next few age-related natural causes to a cooling trend will dominate the warming caused by human activities. This cooling is explained by cyclic changes in ocean currents and temperature in North Atlantic, a phenomenon which is called the North Atlantic Oscillation. This vibration determines the weather in North America and Europe. According to Latifah, namely the North Atlantic Oscillation may be responsible for some episodes of strong temperature increase in the last three decades. But now it has passed the phase of providing cooling on our planet. | 2019-04-22T16:10:43 | http://www.allensoftware.com/leibniz-warming/ |
With millennials shortly to make up the majority of the UK’s workforce, businesses need to understand what motivates and drives this generation when it comes to work and their career. So how can small businesses attract and retain millennials?
Born into a digital world and witness to financial corruption and corporate scandal, they are motivated less by financial wealth and more by making a difference in the world.
Millennials understand that they can use their economic power to encourage companies to make a positive contribution to the world around them. In fact, 84% of millennials said that making a difference in the world was more important than professional recognition, according to Bentley University.
Changes in priorities are also affecting recruitment and retention. Seventy-six per cent wouldn’t take a job at a business with a bad reputation for corporate social and environmental responsibility (CSR) even if they were unemployed and 45% of millennials say they would take a pay cut to work for a company with a good reputation, according to a report by Project ROI.
HR Departments seem to be struggling with this change in priorities, with two-thirds reporting difficulty in finding the right applicants for job openings. Retention is an issue two, with 91% of millennials expecting to change jobs at least once every three years.
While this is an issue for some, it can be a great opportunity for others – especially small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs). Good CSR is open to businesses of any size, not just big multinationals, so it presents more of a level playing field than competing on salary.
But they need to act fairly quickly. According to PwC’s annual Global CEO Survey, 64% of companies are already making CSR ‘core’ to their business. That gives them a head-start, even if only 29% are focusing on CSR for recruitment and retention.
Unlike the workplace of yesteryear, you will struggle to get passionate people who believe in your company simply by bumping up salaries.
Instead, you need to demonstrate that you are committed to making a positive impact in the world and that it’s a core value of your business, not just a tagline.
As Simon Sinek has pointed out, people are more motivated by why companies and people do what they do than what or how they do it.
Why do you feel passionately about what you do? Why do you do it the way you do? Why does that benefit the world?
If you can answer these questions with clarity and conviction, you’ll have an engaged and motivated workforce.
It’s also beneficial to be very vocal about the opportunities you offer employees, the systems and policies you have in place, and the demonstrable impact that your CSR programme has.
For example, including a section on CSR in your recruiter profiles and talking about your CSR work during interviews are two great ways to demonstrate your social conscience to prospective employees.
The cost of recruitment can be incredibly high. Recruitment experts estimate the cost of filling a vacancy at between four and 15 times their annual salary, depending on the position. So, retaining top talent once you’ve got it is essential both to performance and finances.
Engaging employees by offering opportunities to support the causes they feel passionate about brings a new depth of meaning to their work.
When times get tough, employees will be buoyed by the positive impact they are having, and will offer you the benefit of the doubt. Unhappy employees will simply leave, telling everyone they know of their bad experience.
Research supports this idea as well, finding that CSR led to a 25-50% reduction in employee turnover – the same effect as offering staff a £2,800 pay rise every year. For SMEs who are unable to compete on salaries, this is a huge benefit.
Simply having some sort of CSR, such as annual donations to a charity, isn’t enough to attract top talent and keep employees engaged. You need to demonstrate the positive social impact you are having.
What has that enabled the charity to do?
What other ways of getting involved do you offer employees?
Benchmarking not only serves to show the comparative impact you have, it can also expose new ways of supporting a cause.
Offering employees volunteering opportunities or time out to volunteer is an often-overlooked way of contributing to a cause. It is relatively inexpensive and gives employees a hands-on experience, leaving a lasting impression.
A staggering 93% of employees who volunteer through their organisation are happy with their employer. And happy employees are more engaged, more productive, and more loyal.
Benchmarking can be easier said than done. A good CSR tool can prove invaluable, however, helping both to organise CSR opportunities and events, and to constantly benchmark against other businesses of a similar size.
When time and money are tight, good software eliminates the need for a full-time CSR Manager and helps demonstrate your social impact.
Simply choosing a charity to support may work from a brand perspective, but it may not be a cause that resonates with your employees. The best way to find out what causes they’re passionate about is to ask them.
An employee survey is the best way to identify causes and opportunities to support them. Some employees may already support causes outside of work hours, providing first-hand insight as to what would make a real impact.
Perhaps the cause needs exposure – in which case your team could use your brand to spread the word. If they need practical support, it may be most cost-effective to complete the work pro bono than to donate money which would then be used to hire an agency.
Once you have identified your cause(s) you’ll need to embed the support you’ll offer into your day-to-day business.
Create time to volunteer or offer practical support, schedule fundraising events into your yearly planner, develop a plan for activities and stick to it. Simply asking employees to contribute, “when they have time” is the fastest way to ensure it lands on the back-burner.
Once you’ve identified and embedded your CSR, you’ll need to track, benchmark, and review your progress. You may discover that passions have changed and new employees want to support other causes.
And, of course, make sure you tell the people you want to attract all about your great CSR work throughout your recruitment procedure – in your job adverts, selection interviews and as part of your induction process for new employees.

We’ll be happy to sit down with you and once we have a clear understanding of your requirements, suggest the best and most cost-effective plan of action.

It is important that leaflets be visually stunning so as to give them the best chance of capturing the attention of the public. It is for this very reason, that we offer a wide range of printing options, tailored to suit all designs and occasions.

Doctor Who spin-off moved production to California.
Originally filmed on location in Cardiff, Torchwood moved to the Los Angeles Warner Bros. studios after executive producer Russell T Davies signed a deal with US TV channel Starz last year.
The move, which was arranged because of the series’ increasing popularity with American audiences, upset many Torchwood fans, but the drama’s star John Barrowman insists they won’t be disappointed with the new series.
‘Weâre filming a lot of scenes in American locations,â Barrowman told the Daily Mail.
Barrowman’s co-star Eve Myles, who plays Gwen Cooper, added: âA lot of people were worried the show would lose its identity, but I can assure you we havenât abandoned Wales altogether.
The new series, entitled Torchwood: Miracle Day, debuts on BBC1 this Thursday at 9pm. | 2019-04-23T22:31:36 | https://metro.co.uk/2011/07/09/torchwood-hasnt-become-too-american-insists-john-barrowman-71876/ |
The Boys' Brigade is the world's oldest Voluntary Uniformed Youth Organisation. Since its beginnings in 1883, they have spread to more than 70 countries. Despite this, the Boys' Brigade have featured on very few stamps around the world, especially when compared to the Scouts! Perhaps that is what comes of being first and foremost a Christian organisation. Our only consolation is that the Boys' Brigade appears on more stamps than our sister organisation, the Girls' Brigade!
This website, will let you see how many I have found. Most were produced for the Centenary of the Boys' Brigade in 1983, but there are some others. For many of the stamps, First Day Covers were also produced.
Over the years, some Companies & Battalions have also taken the opportunity to publicise themselves and their own anniversaries by publishing commemorative covers of their own.
It should be quite possible for a boy to collect a reasonable number of these stamps in the course of a year, paving the way for a general interest in stamps, while earning a BB interest badge along the way! Internet auction sites, stamp shops and stamp fairs are all very good ways to find these stamps.
Follow the links below to see the Boys' Brigade on stamps. I doubt very much that this site is exhaustive. So if you come across some stamps or covers that are not featured here, I would be delighted to hear from you. Please send me an email. Where I know about an item but do not have it in my collection, it is listed in the relevant section, but there is no picture of it. If you have any questions or comments, then please email me.
If you would like to find out more about the Boys' Brigade, click here. For the Girl's Brigade, you can choose between the Scottish site, or the site for England & Wales. There are of course, other Boys' and Girls' Brigade internet sites around the world.
If you have any comments about the site, then again, please just email me. | 2019-04-26T11:08:28 | http://bbstamps.boys-brigade.org.uk/ |

The world is bursting in the seams with young women looking for older men for relaxed dates and connections that are more significant. They are women who just want to have fun,enjoy life one-step women looking for couples at any given time and take it easy’s type; therefore most often would move set ‘NO STRINGS ATTACHED’ sort of connection.
Within the talk of older males younger womenThere are a few women who’ll fight that older guys only question them out simply because they consider longer to develop up and mature need a prize girlfriend on the supply to improve their ego.
Which means you can enter terms that you associate with abundant women (success, income, estate) and you’ll get a list of profiles where these terms look. Blend this a lady who results in as at the helm of the SS organization in handle as Spock, having a successful job, then you certainly have two inconsistent regions of fascination for guys.
Everbody knows, you can find forget about tricks about these lovers, older women dating younger males and seeking is just a trend that is booming and these couples are now being released the woodworks; what was generally acutely forbidden is a thing that has become a convention.
Now internet sites will be joined by lots of males looking for appointments with younger women like “Facebook” or ” . ” This is actually the tactic that is mistaken should you be especially searching biherpesdating for fresh girls who want to day males over the age of themselves.
If an older female it is able to project enough electricity and health, and has electricity enough toughness and success to meet her own desires, she will get himself a male that is younger.
Females who do not accept these transformative facts, what triggers men’s a reaction to women, the things they seem for even though unconsciously, where they experience they are able to normally take care of, nurture and how, or do not understand this, offer.
I’ve been out with significantly older and far younger women and can confidently say that every single word of my hub could be followed back to one of those encounters. the gentleman that wound up dating her was in his late 20s, as well as this girl was not young enough to be my grandma, in my opinion. Teenagers trying to date she should not be assumed by an older woman is willing to pay for anything, depending on your geographical area it could not be acceptable conduct. I am a 58 year old gorgeous and hot (look 20 years newer than my age)person who’s having a relationship having a 26 year old qualified male.
Basically could just identify the total amount of suffering and discomfort that the complete family is brought to by this possibly is time to stop this lunatic selfcentered women that has no ideals, moral or any value for almost any other person. | 2019-04-20T10:37:48 | http://www.i360insight.com/the-most-effective-sugar-dating-sites/ |

Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline Leau de Parfum 40ml Spray is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 6.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ezza8411 from A favourite This perfume is gorgeous. It's fresh and light but with a surprising depth you don't usually find in the fresh sort of perfumes, but a depth that doesn't become cloying at all. It's classy enough for important occasions but nice enough that you want to smell it whilst snuggled up with a book too.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vanessa86 from Beautiful perfume! I brought this product from chemist warehouse as they have the best prices!! It fits perfectly in my bag and has a long lasting fragrance!

Since we live in a condo, we only control about 10 feet behind our back door. And we have to ask permission to change any of that.
That's a lot of plants on the deck. It was fantastic.
I love to garden and we've had no space. We do have a deck that is rather wonky; the previous owners had a hot tub that was too heavy for it and now it is askew. After a summer when we used it twice, we decided to replace it with raised bedded gardens When I say we, it is a bit of an exaggeration. I came up with this plan and David was happy to go with it. Mostly he isn't too invested in the backyard or growing things, but is happy to build things that make me happy. Basically best husband ever.
This is David and this is his garden bed.
I always say I will plant only a handful of things and then I get too excited in the nursery and buy too many plants and go hog wild. I just needed a space that was big enough to put all my plants in it to start. Pretty much I stick to planting vegetables and herbs. Flowers are lovely but if I'm doing all that work, I want to eat it at the end. We demolished the deck, disturbed a vole nest and dug holes to drop the raised garden beds into. Also do you see how rocky that soil is? It's awful fill that is almost entirely large rocks.
The first bed ready to be filled!
Our original plan was to reuse the wood from the deck for the raised garden beds. However after reading up about it, we didn't want to use treated wood and risk the chemicals leeching into our soil and our veggies. Dave got untreated cheap wood and built raised beds. We also lined the beds with garden weed fabric to hopefully keep the chickweed out for a while. The beds are 4 feet by 10 feet.One was just an empty box and the other had a divider down the middle. The simple box will be veggies and herbs. The divided box will have raspberry bushes transplanted from David's family's patch on one side and strawberry plants on the other.
Pretty beds filled with good soil! (And extra wood from the deck that we are going to use for stairs in the spring).
Since the gross rocky fill is useless, we had to have dirt delivered. (Did you know you can have dirt delivered?) A nice person in a dump truck dropped 4.5 cubic yards (over 4 tons) onto tarps on our driveway. We then moved it by wheel barrow into the boxes. I did use the larger rocks from the fills to make pretty rock paths all along the edges of the boxes. The fill was used to level out a dip in our neighbor's yard. Before winter fell, I transferred my chives (an annual) into the herb box and the strawberry plants into the fruit box. Then we mulched them with straw and waited for winter. I can't wait until spring when I can fill the boxes with plants!
Strawberry plant we will see you in the spring!

Hi, I was doing a search on google for Westlaw v. Lexis I and came to your blog. I am looking for good research on why one is better than the other and facts to back it up. If you can help me can you contact me? Thank you kindly.
Personally, I'm happy with either for their research capabilities, but I favor Lexis because it includes Nexis, the news database. Other opinions?
Unhappy with what they perceive as corporate bureaucracy, impersonal treatment and fewer chances for career growth, some partners are defecting from big-box firms and heading for smaller practices, where, they say, they have more input and opportunities.
Link: "More Lawyers Flee Megafirms," by Leigh Jones.
There is no doubt about the guilt of Saddam Hussein and his men. They will be convicted, and it is likely that some will be sentenced to die. But they need to be well defended if it is ever to be believed that they were well tried.
According to Langewiesche, Saddam is "playing to history" on a "thousand-year plan." If the trial seems like a sham, it's more likely a conviction will make him a martyr to his cause. The trouble is that Saddam's lawyers--2000 volunteers, most of them ignored by the lead lawyer, Ziad al-Khasawneh of Jordan--do not inspire much confidence. Ziad himself, who Langewiesche says is "probably intelligent enough," is portrayed as being in way over his head. He's also being ignored by American and Iraqi officials at the special tribunal in Baghdad.
It's an interesting article which unfortunately isn't available in full online. If you're interested, you'll have to visit Barnes & Noble. And don't miss the few paragraphs about an American on Saddam's defense team: former U.S. attorney general Ramsey Clark, who agrees that "fair trials in Baghdad are now in America's interest, and that Saddam and his lieutenants must be well defended."
HUMOR FROM AN UNEXPECTED SOURCE . . . Over the weekend at The Volokh Conspiracy, Orin Kerr wrote about his latest article project, titled "From Critical Theory to Abu Graib: Akhil Amar, Paris Hilton, and the Reconstruction of Due Process in Cyberspace."
Later, in response to reader mail, Kerr had to confess the article was "just a joke." Were you able to figure it out without being told? If so, you have a law professor's sense of humor. Please don't consider stand-up as a vocation!

BLAWG REVIEW #8 is up at Crime & Federalism. Good job, Mike!
ANSWER YOUR BURNING QUESTIONS this Memorial Day by reading free magazines online. . .
THE ASBESTOS COMPANIES OF THE WORLD THANK YOU, MA'AM . . . In an amazing story, a reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Paul Hampel, came across a juror after last week's asbestos trial in Madison County, Illinois, celebrating with the defense team who'd held the verdict to an amount much less than had been requested by the plaintiff, who was dying of mesothelioma.
In the reporter's presence, the juror lifted a glass and toasted the defense attorney. "This man is awesome," Hampel quoted her as saying. The woman said that before the trial, she'd known "all about the bad reputation" of Madison County and was "tired of people saying we're the lawsuit capital of the United States." That's why she helped convince the other jurors not to award as much as they'd wanted to award.
Wow. That's a woman with some strong opinions. I wonder if she thought to share them during jury selection. I bet we'll find out soon enough.
THANKS FOR BLOGROLLING ME* Thanks to the proprietors of Lady Themis, a weblog from Quezon City, Philippines; Your Mom goes to Law School, whose author just finished law school; Another Law Student Blog, a weblog which is (apparently) just getting started; and mythago, a weblog that's been around for quite awhile.
*Blogroll (1) n. A list of favorite weblogs, typically found in a column on another weblog; (2) v. To add a weblog to a blogroll.
So even though I settled the case yesterday, there's still a lot of work ahead. Maybe I'll write some more about the process as it proceeds. It's not a bad case to write about. Not only will the class members receive 100% of their alleged damages, but just about everyone would agree, I think, that the attorneys fees are reasonable.
Finally, in a nakedly self-serving marketing plug for Schaeffer & Lamere, I'm happy to report that this marks our third class action settlement for firm clients in two years. The other two cases, which I filed in 2000, involved 400,000 and nearly 1 million class members respectively.
Not a bad track record, although tort actions--and specifically, mass tort actions-- remain my first love. | 2019-04-25T20:07:53 | https://www.legalunderground.com/2005/05/index.html |
Assassin's Creed Black Flag on the Nintendo WII U takes place in 1715. Assassin's Creed has abandoned the quiet killing days of the American Revolution and set sail for adventure on the high seas! Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag continues the story of the Animus, a complex system that allows the user to explore the genetic memories of their ancestors, and this time players will inhabit the shoes of Edward Kenway, a previously straight-laced lad who finds himself becoming a secret killer among pirates.
Shiver me timbers, ya landlubbin' bilgerat, Assassin's Creed has abandoned the quiet killing days of the American Revolution and set sail for adventure on the high seas! Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag continues the story of the Animus, a complex system that allows the user to explore the genetic memories of their ancestors, and this time players will inhabit the shoes of Edward Kenway, a previously straight-laced lad who finds himself becoming a secret killer among pirates.
Ubisoft has once again changed the setting of its popular stealth and platforming series, but if you're looking for the kind of roguish charm found in something like Pirates of the Caribbean, a replay of a Monkey Island game might suit you better. Playing Black Flag means a lot of following and tracing subjects until you can get your greedy assassin hands around their necks. Again, the controls have been changed and streamlined for the worse, as longtime players will greet moments of confusion as they adjust to new ways of doing old things that aren't particularly any better. One exception is the gun controls, which are significantly improved over Assassin's Creed III.
Instead of making substantial improvements to the stealth engine, Ubisoft has opted to again dial up all the optional things a player can do in their historical setting. There is a truly dizzy array of what Ubisoft calls "content," but what a lot of increasingly disgruntled players call "check boxes." If you enjoy said content, there isn't a lack of it in Black Flag; the game will keep you playing for days. But much like Tomb Raider, from earlier this year, it's hard to shake the feeling that it's more highly bureaucratic office work than a game.
The graphic environment players explore is breathtaking, detailed and enchanting, but from a character perspective, it's dull and significantly less colorful than one would expect from everyone's favorite swashbuckling era of daring escapades. If you always wanted a more down-to-earth example of what life was like on the islands back then, you might warm up to the landlocked assassin's life.
If, however, you're the type who loves to sing along to the "Yo ho, yo ho" song at Disneyland, the sea is where it's at in Black Flag. Everything about the ship mechanics in this game screams of far more originality, soul, fun mechanics and fresh ideas than the staid land portions. Boarding other ships, in order to climb the mast and silently destroy your target while the chaos of a storm or a pirate raid erupts around you is an exhilarating and heart-thumping, original take on how the series has always set dizzying heights for its assassins to climb and conquer. Outfitting and improving ships, firing cannonballs, hunting sharks, recruiting nasty new pirates -- if this was the majority of the game, we'd have a masterpiece here.
Unfortunately, it's more like half the game. We're left with a good game saddled with a boring open world tax duty between the juicy parts. | 2019-04-19T20:56:04 | http://uk.reviewanygame.com/assassins-creed-iv-black-flag-wii-u.html |

I once saw a tweet of some dumb video but they used this song as the background music. It reminded me of my Pokemon days so I mapped it. My fondest memory of Pokemon Pearl would be snapping my DS in half when my sister deleted my save file.
The map constantly switches between 64 BPM at 1/12 snapping and 96 BPM at 1/8 snapping. It starts at the former, switches to the latter about 47 seconds in. The 96 BPM section only lasts 20 seconds, ending at around 1:07. The section also comes up again at 1:52. Despite the timing changes, the whole map plays like 192 BPM snapped at 1/4. In tandem with the song changing, the map's patterns also change from short snappy jumps to longer streams.
Not going for rank. If you want to mod the map, feel free to do so. I should respond to it within a few days.

This and part 2 are mostly just an update to http://pauldotcom.com/2011/11/safely-dumping-hashes-from-liv.html but without the need for VSSOwn, that and we are doing it remotely without the need for shell on the DC. Ever run into a Domain Controller that wasn’t allowed to talk to the Internet, had insane AV and GPOs not allowing anyone to RDP in (Even Domain Admins) unless they provided some kind of voodo happy dance?
Mimikatz is now built into Metasploit’s meterpreter, you can do load mimikatz from the meterpreter prompt, but if you don’t want to go through the hassle of dealing with AV, reverse or bind payloads, meterpreter binaries, and you have clear text credentials for an admin, you can just use Mimikatz’s alpha release that allows you to run Mimikatz on your machine against a process memory dump of LSASS. The great thing about this technique is that the only thing on disk is a Microsoft tool.
This is one of those stupid simple things that are easy to forget so I’m posting it here. Wordlists and dictionaries are awesome for cracking password hashes, and although, thanks to things like Mimikatz and WCE I don’t have to, but there is times where it’s important. Now, having John, Hashcat, or Cain go through a dictionary is a 1-for-1 hit, no time wasted no matter how it’s sorted and usually is best to sort them by most common first so you get earlier hits.
You’ve found an NFS share on a pentest, it’s sharing out your target’s home directories (/home) and some SAN with all of the Windows AD users “home” directories under /volumes/users/. You only have a meterpreter session though… enough back story, problem is that Metasploit doesn’t really have any auxiliary modules or otherwise to access the things on those shares. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but there also aren’t any tools for talking to NFS shares over TCP only proxies.
It seems like every week there is a new compromise of some service or another. But as a user what are you supposed to do with this knowledge? Here are some suggestions on things to do or think about when reacting: Do you use the password you use there anywhere else? Think about starting to use a password manager like LastPass, 1Password, KeePass, or a product like Yubico. This way you can very easily use different passwords for different sites.
The following has been a concept for me for a long time and recently I tweeted the idea which really put me under the fire to prove it. (re: justanidea hashtag) And a few people came up with some very valid points: 1) Doesn’t work so well with HTTPS sites He’s right, but that forces the attack to use SSL, and doing so can yield the defender more information about the attacker, and offer other avenues of defense. | 2019-04-24T15:00:21 | https://malicious.link/post/page/9/ |

This year's theme for National Consumers Week is "service signals success." Service is an indispensable element of success over the long term in both business and government: service that is responsive, convenient, and courteous, service that meets the expectations of consumers and taxpayers. Clever promotions and deceptive pricing may generate short-term profits in business. Promises alone may gain brief support for Government agencies and programs. But American consumers and taxpayers aren't easily deceived. They expect quality service, and those who cannot or do not provide it will ultimately fail.
That is why I added the right to service to the Consumer Bill of Rights. It is why we have made the reinvention of government -- requiring more responsiveness and efficiency -- a keystone of my Administration. It is why I issued an Executive Order that directed all executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government to embark upon a revolution to change the way they do business and establish and implement customer service standards that match or exceed the best in the private sector. And it is why our policies continue to emphasize the paramount importance of service excellence to the success of our Nation, our economy, and our efforts to compete in the global marketplace.
The goal of service excellence is not easy to attain. Consumers must demand it, and everyone in an organization, be it a business or a government agency, must be committed to it, both in everyday interactions and in longer-term goals. Their ultimate success depends on it.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 20 through October 26, 1996, as National Consumers Week. I call upon government officials, industry leaders, and the people of the United States to recognize the vital relationship between our economy and our citizenry and to support the right of all Americans to excellence in products and services.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-first. | 2019-04-18T10:26:03 | https://clintonwhitehouse6.archives.gov/1996/10/1996-10-21-proclamation-of-national-consumers-week.html |
An Olypmpic-themed assembly to look at how self-sacrifice is better than winning.
An Olympic-themed assembly to look at how self-sacrifice is better than winning.
You will need some chains, a boat or picture of a boat.
Show the chains and boat pictures. What do a slave from America and a sailor in the Olympics have in common?
Take some guesses before telling these stories.
A long time ago in America, there were a lot of African-American slaves in the south of the country. In the north of the country, they could be free, and sometimes some of them escaped from the South to the North. They would travel secretly for hundreds of miles on the ‘Underground Railroad’ – not a real railway, but secret houses and hiding places where people agreed to shelter escaping slaves and give them food and brief periods of rest on their long journey to freedom.
It was very dangerous – everyone had to travel at night and if the slaves, or the people helping them, were caught, they would be severely punished.
One day, a slave called Harriet Tubman decided to make the very dangerous journey to freedom in the North. A white neighbour told her how to find the first secret house. There she was put in a wagon, covered with a sack, and driven to the next secret place. In this way, in stages, she made the journey to Philadelphia in the North. She had escaped!
But rather than enjoy her freedom, Harriet risked being caught again and again – thirteen times she went back down the Underground Railroad to rescue first her family, and then at least seventy more slaves. She got them all out, always saying that God helped her.
She was given the name ‘Moses’ because she led people out of slavery like Moses in the Bible (Show the poster of Harriet Tubman.).
Another person who gave up something amazing to help others was a sailor called Lawrence Lemieux from Canada.
(Show a picture of Lawrence.) In 1988 he was sailing on his own in a sailing race in the Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. There were many boats competing. Halfway through the race Lawrence was in second place – with a chance of winning a medal!
But then a very strong wind blew up, tearing at the sailing boats and causing high waves. Looking behind him, Lawrence saw a boat with two sailors – except that one had fallen into the sea, and the other was leaning out of the boat. Their boat then turned over in the water. Lawrence shouted out to them, but nothing could be heard above the noise of the wind and waves.
Without a second thought, Lawrence turned his boat around and went back to rescue the two sailors, immediately losing his second place. He managed to rescue the sailors, who were injured. Then he waited for an official patrol boat, helped to move the sailors on to this boat, and at last returned to the race.
As a result of this delay, Lawrence passed the finishing point in twenty-second place. However, when it came to the time for the judges to award medals, they still decided to give Lawrence second place – they realized he was a true Olympic winner. ‘By your sportsmanship, self-sacrifice and courage, you embody all that is right with the Olympic ideal,’ said the Olympic president.
Harriet and Lawrence were both willing to give up something precious, and risk losing things themselves, to help others. Christians believe that is what Jesus did. The Bible says that he gave up everything he had for us.
God is more interested in what we give up to help others than in what we win for ourselves. That applies to sports and to the whole of life. God’s medals are handed out for how much you love, not how fast you run.
and thank you that you gave up everything for us.
Help us to run your race. | 2019-04-19T10:33:25 | https://www.assemblies.org.uk/pri/1491/giving-up-your-place |

Roofs can end up being really unsightly due to organic growths like moss and lichen. Roofs are also regularly discoloured and stained by a prevalent bacteria called gloecapsa magma. Roofing associations and producers do not recommend high pressure washing to clean roofs. It may eliminate moss from the roofing, but the aggressive jets of water may likewise damage tiles, ridge capping and other roof fittings as well as increase the danger of flooding. There is also a good chance that the moss will grow back. Cleaning up with the manufacturers preferred detergent is recommended. This is what we do! Softwash roof washing is by far the most effective method to clear moss or other bacterial developments from the roofing, whenever they are at risk of ending up being a major problem.

The Fed's own "document dump."
Well, the Federal Reserve has, under orders from Congress, released a huge mass of data on its extraordinary interventions into the financial sector during the height of the crisis, from 2007-2009. These documents make for interesting reading. In a word, the Fed was throwing money at everything that moved. Never has “lending of last resort” been realized so radically. The variety of institutions partaking of the acronymic cacophony of lending facilities and other devices is something to behold. I was amused to see that Harley-Davidson was a regular participant in a commercial paper lending operation. Motorcycles and shadow banking: an interesting business amalgam. Then there is the sheer size of these loans to the big banks. We’re talking about firms borrowing $15 or $20 billion in overnight loans, every night, for weeks. And foreign banks no less than domestic ones were clinging to the Fed for dear life. The documents leave no doubt that the private banking system was in ruins. Here are several good summaries of the documents.
Relatedly, Martin Wolf of The Financial Times has an excellent column yesterday describing in overview the crisis in Europe. What’s going on is that private obligations are being converted into public obligations: government and finance are merging. This is a historical and global trend, most acutely evident in Europe right now.
"private obligations are being converted into public obligations: government and finance are merging."
CSL wrote that it might be better to be governed by robber barons than by moral busybodies. I wonder what he'd have thought of this -- the intertwining of the two into a robber baron/busybody state?
Interesting observation Rob, the problem is that there are no "moral busybodies" involved here. Those who you would consider "moral busybodies" would have put the banks involved into resolution, ruined the shareholders, given the bondholders a serious haircut and jailed those executives who broke the law. Then they would have passed a financial reform bill that was considerably stronger and a single payer health bill and a host of other things that didn't happen.
What we have now is a revolving door between large corporations and government - a plutocracy.
"Recipients of the loans expressed gratitude. "The Fed's actions were timely and critical, and we commend them for providing liquidity and stabilizing the financial system during that period," Morgan Stanley said in a statement."
Real gratitude would involve actually participating in the economy instead of sitting on piles of cash and doing carry trades. And no bonuses.
"What we have now is a revolving door between large corporations and government - a plutocracy"
No argument from me there. But how is that plutocracy fleshed out culturally? In the form of bureaucratic nanny-statism -- moral busybodies, IOW. The corporate Right and the cultural Left have no problem hooking up and gettin' jiggy wi' one another, provided the former gets to keep its money (and therefore power and influence) and the latter its power and influence (and therefore money).
-"I would ask that you kindly refrain from the usual antics."
The usual antics being your instinct to equate my arguments with run of the mill center-Right ones. You know, the Weekly Standard and What's Wrong with the World, peas in a pod.
Anyway, one puzzle of that otherwise excellent Eichengreen column is why he smacks around the Germans so fiercely. In fact (unless recent reporting was mistaken) it was the Germans who made the fuss about including "private investors," i.e., bank debtholders, in the haircuts or cramdowns. All anyone else could say in response to that eminently sensible proposal was that its timing was all wrong. Eichengreen ought to have noted this.
Al, I'm glad you are so confident that simply "putting the banks involved into resolution" would have worked all the wonders you ascribe to it: this confirms my suspicion of your hindsight bias.
You may recall, however, that the bankruptcy (which is a version of resolution, no?) of Lehman Brothers triggered the crisis that produced the circumstances where companies like Harley-Davidson and McDonalds had to go the Fed, hat in hand, just to find a counterparty for their commercial paper issuance. Without the Fed, in other words, they couldn't have even done things like, you know, make payroll and keep the freaking lights on at their buildings. But here comes Al to assure us that all we needed to do back then was roll up a few more banks, wipe out their shareholders and bondholders, and jail some bankers; then everything would have been hunky-dory.
Thus the wisdom of the Left, I guess.
My comments are often directed at other commenters and the views of some of the principals here would likely shock the sensibilities of your average social darwinist. Still it is my responsibility to make the direction of my comments clear and, regrettably, I must admit I do fail from time to time.
Paul, resolution is orderly; everyone knows the outcome. In resolution the dubious assets are dealt with, in a bankruptcy like Lehman's they aren't and that shakes the trust of everyone which is why the commercial paper of even sound firms finds no takers.
"But here's the thing: The funds needed to bring these banks fully back to life would greatly exceed what they're currently worth. Citi and BofA have a combined market value of less than $30 billion, and even that value is mainly if not entirely based on the hope that stockholders will get a piece of a government handout. And if it's basically putting up all the money, the government should get ownership in return."
"Still, isn't nationalization un-American? No, it's as American as apple pie."
"Lately the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has been seizing banks it deems insolvent at the rate of about two a week. When the FDIC seizes a bank, it takes over the bank's bad assets, pays off some of its debt, and resells the cleaned-up institution to private investors. And that's exactly what advocates of temporary nationalization want to see happen, not just to the small banks the FDIC has been seizing, but to major banks that are similarly insolvent."
"The real question is why the Obama administration keeps coming up with proposals that sound like possible alternatives to nationalization, but turn out to involve huge handouts to bank stockholders.
"When a large financial institution is insolvent, the IMF should take it over, guaranteeing its short-term obligations, but wiping out the shareholders and repaying the long-term creditors only after all the other creditors (including the IMF itself) are repaid. Some people would scream that this is tantamount to nationalization, but it is no more a nationalization that the US Chapter 11 bankruptcy process is."
So yes, had the government used the crisis as an opportunity to clean house things would have worked out better. As long as it was made clear that the Fed stood ready, harley, et al would have still found a market for their paper. This isn't hind sight bias as plenty of folks were suggesting this course at the time and i agreed with them. This also would have involved limiting the size of financial institutions.
"Simply" isn't the correct term as my preferred path would have quite upset the apple cart. Politicians with vision would have read things correctly and preemptively channeled the anger that was behind the Tea Party in a productive direction.
Paul, resolution is orderly; everyone knows the outcome.
What hogwash. The whole reason for the acute crisis in fall 2008 is that no one knew the bloody outcome. One possible outcome was that everyone's paychecks started bouncing like basketballs.
And what about the obvious problem of British, French, German, and Swiss banks? What institution could accomplish, over a September weekend, the orderly resolution of all these banks -- plus GE, Walmart and all the shadow banks, along with the money market funds and who knows what else?
But I find it preposterous to assert that Swedish-style nationalization was a viable option at the point of acute crisis. Probably there was no good option.
The window for bank nationalization was several months later, under a new administration that was not a lame duck and, more importantly, once markets had stabilized.
In my opinion, the world economy is moving towards a place where the monetary functions are separating in order to allow the economy to find a new equilibrium. That is, at present the three functions of money: income, transactions/trade, and savings, are all being preformed by paper money/debt. The massive instabilities in the world economy are due to the fact that for decades debt has been the primary vehicle of world savings as well as the primary currency reserve asset, allowing the quantity of debt in the system to grow beyond all limit. We're moving towards a paradigm where the first two monetary functions of income and trade will still be carried on through the use of paper currency but people will no longer save their wealth in paper and debt but physical gold instead. The primary currency reserve asset also will no longer be paper or debt but physical gold which will float against national currencies on an international market for physical delivery. With paper still serving as transactional currency, hoarding gold will not adversely affect economic activity and the middle class will regain the ability to save for the future and this will make possible serious entitlement reform and massive reductions in federal borrowing and spending.
However, I think it's inevitable that most savings currently held in paper and debt will be lost and the longer the government props up the current system, the larger the losses will be. I suppose all of this is to say that I agree with al and that it would have been better to suffer the losses in 2008 (presuming that such an event would have moved us away from debt-based savings) than to suffer greater losses at some point in the future, given that the collapse of our current paper/debt-based economy is a certainty.
"What hogwash. The whole reason for the acute crisis in fall 2008 is that no one knew the bloody outcome."
No, nobody knew the actual value of much of the assets various institutions were using for collateral. We never know the future for sure. Read the section of the Federal Reserve Act I copied below. Between the powers of the FDIC and the FRB there were ample powers to effect the nationalization or de facto nationalization of such institutions that were necessary in order to stabilize things.
In unusual and exigent circumstances, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, by the affirmative vote of not less than five members, may authorize any Federal reserve bank, during such periods as the said board may determine, at rates established in accordance with the provisions of section 14, subdivision (d), of this Act, to discount for any individual, partnership, or corporation, notes, drafts, and bills of exchange when such notes, drafts, and bills of exchange are indorsed or otherwise secured to the satisfaction of the Federal Reserve bank: Provided, That before discounting any such note, draft, or bill of exchange for an individual, partnership, or corporation the Federal reserve bank shall obtain evidence that such individual, partnership, or corporation is unable to secure adequate credit accommodations from other banking institutions. All such discounts for individuals, partnerships, or corporations shall be subject to such limitations, restrictions, and regulations as the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System may prescribe."
"[12 USC 343. As added by act of July 21, 1932 (47 Stat. 715); and amended by acts of Aug. 23, 1935 (49 Stat. 714) and Dec. 19, 1991 (105 Stat. 2386.]"
Tarp allowed for equity stakes and hence could have allowed for control. You are, of course, correct that this should have been done in early 2009, I am merely pointing out that it could have been done in 2008 and should have. Your '"hindsight" observation is simply wrong as there were folks, moi included, who were in favor of such action back then.
My favored recommendations would have also stabilized the markets but in a way unfavorable to the usurers and rent-seekers. We had an opportunity from late 2008 through early 2009 to wrest control from the financial malefactors and destroy their political power but we didn't no doubt due to the revolving door betwixt Washing and Wall Street that persists regardless of who's in power.
This is a coup of sorts and seems to have succeeded beyond its undoing. If that was your point, i'll grant it but not so much if we are only voicing our druthers.
The problem with Merkel, as I understand it, isn't her calling for a bondholders' haircut per se as it is with various statements that seem to undermine the whole Euro project as well as general German intransigence re; the European crisis - tight money, etc. The PIGS need to deflate but, as they don't control their currency (compare and contrast with Iceland and New Zealand), the only way do so is to cut wages and government expenditures which devastates the populace.
"...people will no longer save their wealth in paper and debt but physical gold instead. The primary currency reserve asset also will no longer be paper or debt but physical gold which will float against national currencies on an international market for physical delivery."
How is this not deflationary?
Because paper still serves as transactional money. | 2019-04-24T12:08:23 | http://whatswrongwiththeworld.net/2010/12/the_feds_own_document_dump.html |

This year at The Great Notts Show we are really looking forward to our Kitchen Demos, we have loads of really different chefs bringing their unique style to the table…. be it a foldable table in a marquee.
As you can imagine cooking in a Marquee with a very basic kitchen set up can bring all sorts of disasters, fires and downright scary outcomes. But that’s all the fun of it, Teresa Bovey a professional home economist from Nottingham shared some of her experiences with us and what she will be cooking at this years show.
This year Teresa will be making a selection of quick seasonal starters and dessert ideas. All of the dishes are easy summertime recipes with lots of hints and tips showcasing good quality produce to demonstrate that cooking does not have to be a chore or be complicated. She makes a lot of promises for her demos and she follows them through, she shows us how cooking can be simplified and still healthy and delicious. Teresa will be making 4 recipes in her 40 minute demo, that alone is a very impressive promise, but we have no doubt she will manage it!
Having worked in the Kitchen Demo World for over 10 years she is more than aware of all the different things that can go wrong, unsurprisingly A LOT can go wrong. ‘Chefs do not always turn up, food flambes when it shouldn’t, the gas on a hotplate runs out half way through a demo, equipment breaks, chocolate seizes, cream curdles under the bright lights, food freezes in the marquee overnight. It’s a live show, expect the unexpected and be prepared.’ We will Teresa, we will.
Have you ever seen one of Teresa’s Demos? What dish are you looking forward to learning about? Let us know in the comments or on any of the social media below. | 2019-04-20T10:31:18 | https://thegreatnottinghamshireshow.wordpress.com/2014/06/07/kitchen-demo-teresa-bovey/ |
