"I'm sometimes called a 'documentary photographer' but... a man operating under that definition could take a sly pleasure in the disguise. Very often I'm doing one thing when I'm thought to be doing another."
Walker Evans
Paul Graham (UK, 1956) belongs to that generation of photographers who were amonst the last to engage with the medium before it became part of the broader contemporary art world. Whilst later photographic based artists would approach the medium as 'artists using photography', this unaffiliated grouping - which includes such luminaries as Nan Goldin, Andreas Gursky, Rineke Djikstra, Thomas Struth and Philip-Lorca DiCorcia - engaged with the medium at a time when it was not simply a component in an artists' repertoire, but unique artistic territory in its own right.
At the beginning of the 1980's Graham was among the first photographers to unite contemporary colour practise with the 'documentary' genre. In 1981/2 he completed 'A1 - The Great North Road', a series of colour photographs from the length of the British A1 road, which had a transformative effect on the black and white tradition that dominated British photography to that point. This work, along with his other photographs of the 1980's - the colour images of unemployment offices in 'Beyond Caring' (1984-85), and the sectarian marked landscape of Northern Ireland in 'Troubled Land' (1984-86) - were pivotal in reinvigorating and expanding this area of photographic practice, by both broadening it's visual language, and questioning how such photography might operate. Many UK photographers moved to colour soon after, and a new school of British Photography evolved with the subsequent colour work of Richard Billingham, Tom Wood, Paul Seawright, Anna Fox, Simon Norfolk, Nick Waplington, etc.
Since then Graham moved outside of his UK roots, but continued to explore the fertile territory where the descriptive and artistic aspects of photography coalesce, often tackling difficult subject matter for a medium that engages with the observable world. 'New Europe' (1988-1993) used a poetic flow of images to look at the tension between the shadow of history and the rush to an economic superstate in Western Europe. 'Empty Heaven' (1989-1995), considers the relationship between historical trauma and the child-like fantasy world in Japan - themes that would later become central to the 'Superflat' movement of contemporary Japanese art. More recently his work has reflected an examination of what we expect from a photographic image, be it a portrait - as in the hard:soft images of young people in 'End of an Age' (1996-98); or what actually registers in our sight with 'American Night' (1998-2003), which reflected the landscape and social fracture of America through overexposed, near invisible white images. Graham moved to the United States in 2002, where he completed 'a shimmer of possibility' (2004-2006) which embraces everyday moments of life in todays United States, whilst embracing time's flow as a part of still photographic work through extended sequences of images. Most recently, 'The Present', completed this trilogy of works in the USA, with doubled moments taken unstaged from the streets of New York. These diptych works are separated only by a fraction of a second, yet highly specific focus shifts awareness between the images.
This unofficial trilogy of USA works - 'American Night', 'a shimmer of possibility' and 'The Present', each embrace one of the 3 principle controls of the camera: Aperture, Shutter and Focus. As the aperture controls the light, the shutter controls time, and focus specifies what we look at, the trilogy of American works could also be described as engaging with Light, Time and Consciousness.

I am a child of immigrants from the Ivory Coast in West Africa who dreamt of nothing more than a life in America. I have benefited from their American dream and been afforded the opportunity to pursue my own. However, not too long before I invested in these dreams, I was sent to my parent's homeland to study my roots. Instead, I faced their Ivorian War. I witnessed how this tragedy caused destruction and a sense of hopelessness for the Ivorian people. Those scary nights in the homeland ignited an inquisitive nature within me that is threaded in everything I do. Through this experience, I've realized how blessed you are to have the opportunities offered here in America.
I was born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in East Orange, New Jersey. I am in Montclair State University's Class of 2019. I have not yet decided what major I would like to pursue, but my determination is going to shape me into a successful woman. My long-term goals are to become an entrepreneur and, one day, build and own my own company. I would like to use that company as a platform through which to give back to the Ivorian people. My ultimate goal is to provide better health care facilities and a performing arts school for the Ivorian people. I don't want to just become a successful woman, but one whose is self-made and driven by her experiences.

Lusitania Romana exhibition
Visual identity and design of all exhibition related graphic materials, including the exhibition catalogue.
The main goal of this exhibition was to present the Roman province of Lusitania, founded between 16 and 13 B.C., an administrative entity which existed over 2000 years ago and perhaps one of the least known by historiography.
This exhibition brought together 207 objects collected from 14 Portuguese and 5 Spanish Museums. The exhibition was layed out over ten sections which tried to tell the story of almost 700 years of history of this peninsula.
The National Archaeology Museum of Lisbon, founded in 1893, is located in the west wing of the Jeronimos Monastery, once used as a dormitory area for the monks who lived in the building.
The museum is the main center for archaeological research in Portugal, with pieces from all over the country. The permanent exhibits include Egyptian Antiquities and Treasures of Portuguese Archaeology, with notable pieces of jewelery from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age. The museum also has the largest collection of Roman mosaics in Portuguese museums.

1-Big event planning start-up
An event planner would work with clients to meet their demands for parties, lunches, weddings etc. A lot of your job would involve organising with other businesses such as suppliers. As this is a service based business there would be little start-up costs and there would be no need for any storage so you could potentially run your business from home.
2-City parking space finder
When visiting a city it can often be difficult to find parking, especially during peak seasons. A unique business idea would be to create an application that tells users where the nearest car parks are and whether there are spaces available. Users would be willing to pay for this app if it is saving them time and they are getting reliable parking information
Related post: Business Ideas To Start in 2016
3- WordPress security & backup services
Website security is becoming increasingly important with more websites being hacked. WordPress websites can often be targets for potential hackers who could potentially bring all your hard work down. You could stop this by providing WordPress backup service that would allow users to quickly get back online after an attack.
4- Niche job boards
Job searching online is often a long process which often leads to little results. The problem is that different jobs, in different locations are all in one place. Niche job boards would allow users to view jobs that are just of interest to them without the need to spend time filtering jobs down. You could charge businesses to post jobs as you would have highly targeted traffic.
5- Data analytics start-up
With over 90% of the information on the internet being created in the last few years, big data is big business. You could start a data analytics business that processes big data to spot patterns and trends. There is a lot of potential profit in making the data valuable for businesses.

The struggle of modern women against conservative religious restrictions has heightened significance around the world today. Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem forcefully crystallizes the juxtaposition of hypocrisy, cynicism, frustration, and absurdity when a woman today is forced to abide with ancient rules. This realistic film intimately focuses on how this plays out in Israel, a democracy with no civil marriage for anyone.
Since its founding, the ultra-Orthodox rabbinical courts have jurisdiction over Jewish marriages, and they operate within the secular government's Ministry of Justice. When divorce is sought, contradictions abound: though only rabbis can preside over the dissolution of a marriage, their mandate is to keep couples together, under the Talmudic principle of peace in the family. Additionally, only the husband can actually grant the divorce decree, the gett. Without his consent, the woman faces social opprobrium for separating from her husband; she is agunah, chained to a dead marriage and her children considered illegitimate.
The bothersome facts of the case before the three-judge rabbinical court panel in the claustrophobic courtroom are: Viviane Amsalem, mother of four children, has been separated for three years from her observant Moroccan immigrant husband, and she wants to end their 20-year marriage, even though he has not obviously violated Jewish law against her—no beatings, no desertion, no destitution.
Viviane is vividly portrayed by the sensuous and mesmerizing Ronit Elkabetz, one of world cinema's great actresses, the Anna Magnani of today, intense (particularly in her frequent camera-facing close-ups) and volcanic. She uses every inch of her body for voluble expression.
This film is the capstone of the trilogy she and her brother Shlomi Elkabetz have written and codirected over a decade, exploring the deterioration of the Amsalem marriage, and inspired by their mother's struggles. It's the opposite of Richard Linklater's tracking of a couple's romantic trajectory in Before Sunrise, , and Before Midnight, which centers on falling in love and maintaining a relationship over time. Vivane and Elisha (Simon Abkarian) have been falling out of love in To Take a Wife (2004), set in Haifa in 1979, and Shiva (2008), set during the 1991 Gulf War. (Both had limited festival screenings in the U.S.; the latter is not available on Region 1 DVD).
While seeing the prequels adds to the audience's knowledge of who is lying more through this frequently comic procedure (comparable to how Americans used to fake following archaic state requirements until Puritanical divorce laws were liberalized relatively recently), Gett puts viewers in the same observational position as the perplexed judges.
But the process can't begin until the husband shows up in court. A demurely dressed and postured Viviane barely contains her anger when Elisha has failed to appear. (The time between each session is noted on the screen—six months later, three months later, two months later.) The chief judge (Eli Gorstein) does try to be helpful; he offers retaliation against the husband for his absence, including confiscating his driver's license—if he had one. Elisha's refusal to get one, and let his family leave their house, is one of the wife's charges against him.
The judges order him jailed, yet month after month he defies agreements he makes while incarcerated, including to answer Viviane's narrowly legitimate charges in court that "he has become insufferable for me." Still, the court forces her to return to him, to no avail. A year and a half after the trial first began, his brother shuffles in to make Elisha's case.
The two opposing advocates symbolize different world views, and how each shrewdly tries to manipulate the tribunal is very entertaining. Viviane's lawyer, Carmel Ben-Tovim (Menashe Noy), is a shaggy-haired secular counsel with a nice suit and attaché case who can barely contain his contempt for this antiquated system. The husband's brother, Shimon, is sagaciously played by Sasson Gabbai (Ronit Elkabetz's co-star in The Band's Visit), who puts on the Israeli equivalent of Sam Ervin's "aw shucks, I'm just a country lawyer" routine from the Watergate hearings. Wearing a yarmulke and carrying a shopping bag into court, Shimon insists on being addressed as "Rabbi," constantly quotes the Talmud to the impressed judges, and chides his counterpart for not living up to Carmel's eminent father's observance.
Meanwhile, the rigidly obstinate husband delivers zinging criticisms of his wife in French to rile her up. When he realizes one of the judges is translating his off-the-record comments to the others, he switches to Arabic. (Reflecting the complex issues of Israel's ethnic diversity, undercurrents of the Ashkenazi majority judges not understanding the culture of the Mizrahi family resonates throughout.)
Her lawyer seizes on the brother's overconfidence to insist on witnesses to explore just how contentious the marriage has been. A series of delays leads to a Rashomon-like parade of relatives, neighbors, storekeepers, and synagogue congregants, each with a grudge or distinct bias. Many of whom were seen in the earlier films. Even as Elisha's brother keeps insisting on the prohibition against listening to gossip, the rabbis can't help getting caught up in the colorful (and sometimes very funny) tales.
Three years on, the accusations become ever more personal, and between the advocates, too, in the tradition of classic courtroom dramas, such as Edward Dmytryk's The Caine Mutiny (1954) and Stanley Kramer's Inherit the Wind (1960). Even the chief judge gets fed up. Occasionally the scene shifts to the adjacent corridor full of those who fruitlessly wait and wait, where the filmmakers listened for their research because they weren't allowed inside any proceedings. The threats increase, and negotiated deals come and go, through five more years. If you find the final decisions inconclusive, the Elkabetzs are toying with revisiting the couple in the future.
One of the many ironies of this religious system is that there are ultra-Orthodox charities to help women waiting in vain for a divorce decree. The film has generated so much debate in Israel that it may be the first feature film screened at the judges' annual conference this month—if the administrative judge deems it modest enough, because the rabbis, like the husband here, stay away from the cinema just in case something inappropriate might be seen. It will be unfortunate if Ronit Elkabetz's (briefly seen) sandaled foot is considered too alluring, because the film is a thought-provoking indictment of government interference into women's bodies and lives.

Well done to Mr and Mrs Ed on the birth of their son. Ed is now on two weeks paternity leave apparently so we now have two weeks of the dynamic Ms Harriet to look forward to … hopefully no more tasteless jokes.
I have no wish to disparage our Harriet, but her dull monotone and over deliberate delivery is not exactly inspiring. In normal circumstances this wouldn't matter, but there are a lot of people starting to wonder if there is any spark in this new crew. It's now November, the general election was in May and the opposition has yet to find its voice. Can Ed afford two weeks off?
Ed has a limited time to show us what he's made of. Unless he starts to show some 'form' fairly quickly he runs the risk of being written off. Political leaders do not have the luxury of time, people form opinions very quickly. He would be well advised to get back to the office as soon as possible. The wrath of 'the wife' is a price worth paying.

What contractors can do if owed cash by closed Coal IT
February the 10th 2017 was not a good day for the UK's contracting community, as London-based recruitment agency Coal Intelligent Technology Ltd entered administration, leaving dozens of contractors hundreds of thousands of pounds out-of-pocket, writes Adam Home of debt recovery firm Safe Collections.
Coal IT was a well-known company in contracting circles, with contractors working for national broadcasters, blue chips and FTSE 100 companies across the capital. Its last filed accounts for 2015 showed a turnover of over £15 million and a healthy pre-tax profit in excess of £250k.
But all hadn't been well with Coal for some time. The first sign of trouble that we saw was in December 2016, when contractors' invoices went unpaid. Things seemed to spiral quickly after that, and when invoices again went unpaid in January, the writing was on the wall.
Documents we have seen suggest that creditors were initially lulled into a false sense of security over the unpaid invoices by Coal's apparently healthy credit rating. However, by the time January's payment deadlines slid by with no sign of the cash owed to them, increasingly frantic contractors were contacting the firm en-masse to try to establish when the two months' worth of outstanding fees would be paid.
Coal IT had promised payment on February 17th, but before that date could arrive, the company was placed into administration by Bibby Financial Services.
So what now?
The administrators in this case, SFP, originally hoped for a quick sale of the business as a going concern, but this was apparently not to be, as subsequent correspondence sent to creditors on February 15th stated SFP "has not been able to complete a sale of the company's business and assets as a going concern and the Company has now ceased to trade."
It is still early days in the administration procedure and closure of the business at this stage does not mean liquidation is inevitable. The administrator is obliged to seek the best resolution for all creditors by recovering as much of the outstanding debt as possible.
They will write to all creditors of the company within 8 weeks of the date of the administration outlining their proposed course of action, whether this involves sale of assets, restructuring, sale or closure of the company.
In the meantime, if you are owed money by Coal IT, there is unfortunately not much you can do but wait. Entering administration means that creditors cannot launch any legal action against the company and any ongoing litigation is now paused indefinitely while the company remains in administration.
All you can do is make sure the administrators know of your claim. Whilst we understand most creditors have now heard from SFP, if you haven't already done so you must contact them as a matter of urgency to lodge your claim. SFP can be reached on 0207 538 2222 or by using their contact form here.
Will I get paid?
With a quick sale and corporate rescue apparently no longer on the cards, the outlook for creditors appears bleak. We conservatively estimate contractor losses to be upwards of £250,000, based on those creditors who have been in touch with us. We suspect the true figure may end up being significantly higher.
Until the administrators write to the creditors providing an update on the current financial position of the company and outlining its assets and liabilities, it is impossible to guess if contractors will receive all, part or none of the funds that are outstanding.
However, contractors will likely find they are 'unsecured' creditors of the company and therefore, if it is eventually wound up, come at the bottom of the list for repayment when its assets are sold off. In our experience, once a company has entered administration the likelihood of it returning to normal operation is slim. Creditors should therefore brace themselves to lose the funds they are owed.
This is obviously painful for contractors affected, but interesting too because it comes at a time when the Institute for Fiscal Studies has opined that it is "difficult to make a case that differential tax rates should be used to reflect…whether individuals [such as the self-employed] take risks." Well, the story of Coal will hopefully fuel the debate about the tax treatment of contractors and others who bravely strike out on their own to do business for themselves. However, a report in yesterday's Times newspaper indicates Budget 2017 will take action to deny such one-person ventures the potentially preferential tax treatment they can receive, despite the obvious risks of doing business with -- and losing all your earnings to -- the likes of Coal.

This Broad Right Here Is Trifling As A MuhFugga
Meet Daphne Melin, the 32-year-old Long Island woman arrested for assaulting A CHILD while encouraging two 12-year-old girls to catch fade outside an elementary school. This broad truly ain't shyte!
A 32-year-old Long Island woman was busted after egging on two 12-year-old girls to fight outside an elementary school and then beating up a child who was watching nearby.
Daphne Melin, of Shirley, encouraged the juvenile dust-up outside William Floyd Elementary School on Sunday afternoon, Suffolk County cops said.
Some reports suggested one of the girls was Melin's daughter but cops said they were unable to confirm the exact relationship.
As the two girls fought, Melin allegedly cheered them on and made no effort to stop the fisticuffs, police said.
When the brawl wound down, Melin was just getting warmed up – cursing and spitting at a young girl who was watching and then knocking her down and kicking and kneeing her to the neck and head, cops said.
Investigators arrested Melin late Monday and charged her with attempted assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
She was released on bail and will be arraigned on Dec. 1, authorities said.
A relative who answered the phone at a number listed in Melin's name declined to comment.
What the f**k is wrong with this broad? Who beats on an elementary age kid? She needs her a*s beat. We can't believe they let this ho out already and they had Charlamagne's dad overnight. SMH.

Soccer chief asks for HK$100 million to transform game in Hong Kong
HKFA boss asks government for 0.5 per cent of revenues generated from betting on overseas matches in new five-year strategic plan
The Hong Kong Football Association has asked the government and Hong Kong Jockey Club for annual funding of HK$100 million, which it says can be easily afforded from a tiny share of the revenue from soccer betting on overseas matches, said top official Mark Sutcliffe.
In a new five-year strategic plan to be unveiled next month, architect and HKFA chief executive Sutcliffe believes tripling the existing government funding "would transform the sport" and help Hong Kong climb back up the Fifa rankings.
To source the funds, Sutcliffe has already approached the government to either consider allowing betting on Hong Kong soccer; establish a new fund linked to the existing betting licence (on overseas matches); or use some of the interest and investment returns from the Elite Athletes Development Fund (HK$7 billion) set up to fund elite sports.
"At the end of the day it doesn't matter where the money comes from as long as it is there," Sutcliffe said. "Money shouldn't be an issue. I understand the problems over providing facilities which is a physical resource, but HK$100 million is peanuts for a place like this. If we got this sort of funding annually, it would transform the sport."
In a wide-ranging strategic plan called "Aiming High - Together", which builds on Project Phoenix, Sutcliffe outlines the urgent needs for change if the sport is to prosper again with funding being the critical factor to swing fortunes around, especially at the national level where Hong Kong are ranked 148th in the world.
The HKFA receives around HK$34 million annually in the form of government grants and charitable sponsorship, which Sutcliffe labelled in his blog as "a slice of the football betting pie you could hardly see".
"An annual surplus of around HK$20 billion is generated from football betting in Hong Kong," Sutcliffe said. "The HKFA receives an amount equivalent to 0.17 per cent of this in the form of government grants and charitable sponsorship, which is similar in scale to a one-year-old child standing next to the ICC building. If this was increased to half of 1 per cent [0.5 which is around HK$100 million] it would still be a drop in the ocean but it would literally transform the sport."
Jonathan McKinley, deputy secretary for Home Affairs, refused to comment on increased support from the government which under its Project Phoenix - a comprehensive plan to revitalise the game - pumps in HK$20 million annually.
"I would not wish to comment without having seen it [the HKFA strategic plan] and having discussed it with the HKFA," McKinley said.
The strategic plan will be presented to the HKFA's board of directors in the next couple of days, and once approved passed on to the government at next month's meeting of its football taskforce.
The Jockey Club's total turnover from soccer betting has continued to rise in its 10th year of operation. For its financial year of July 2012 to June 2013, turnover was HK$50.6 billion, a 7 per cent year-on-year increase.
Sutcliffe said the total revenue - Jockey Club profits and taxes paid to the government - amounted to around HK$20 billion and a tiny part of it should be given to the development of the game.
"I have already approached the government and their initial response is it would be hard to justify football getting more resources - they believe other sports would complain.
"But I can't think of any other sport in Hong Kong that generates a surplus of HK$20 billion a year. It might come from betting and from betting on foreign football but it is still money got from people in Hong Kong and it wouldn't exist without football," Sutcliffe said.
He rued the fact that football was not part of the elite sports programme, which this year was funded by the government to the tune of HK$325 million.
The HKFA representative teams received government subvention in 2013 amounting to HK$4.6 million.
"Football is not an elite sport because the criteria for gaining that status are based on the attainment of medals in international competition.
"The problem for us is that without the investment that is given to elite sports, we are unlikely to ever gain that level of performance - it is a chicken and egg scenario," Sutcliffe said.

United Technologies: Bottom Line Improvement Continues [Seeking Alpha]
United Technologies Corporation (UTX) is a diversified conglomerate, providing high technology products and services to the building systems and aerospace industries worldwide. Despite the mixed earnings results, UTX continues to hold strong cash position while focusing on integration to boost profitability.
Mixed Results
For Q1, 2013, revenue increased to $14.4B, which is below analysts' estimate of $14.9B. However, net income of $1.39 per share is well above the estimate of $1.29 per share. The management also reaffirmed a forecast for full-year profit of $5.86-$6.15 per share on $64B-$65B of sales.
Declining Organic Sales due to Tough Market Conditions
The acquisition of Goodrich and IAE had provided $0.21 of earnings for Q1; however, organic sales declined 2%. However, North America and emerging markets continue to recover while Europe continues to be a headwind. On the positive side, UTX's portfolio is well positioned for a resumption of top-line growth as the year progresses on.
Integration, Growth, and CapEx
Climate, Controls and Securities continued to realize savings from the integration (profit increased 8% while organic sales declined 3%). Otis, on the other hand, is gaining momentum with two consecutive quarters of sales growth. The CapEx for the quarter was $295M, which was up 60% comparing to the same quarter last year, as the company prepares for the ramp in commercial aerospace.

General Electric: Disappointed? Focus On Its Cash Position And Backlog [Seeking Alpha]
General Electric Company (GE), with a market cap of $226.16B, is a diversified technology and financial services company and a leader in all markets in which it competes. On April 19, 2013, GE reported in-line operating profit of $3.6B or 35 cents per share. However, GE's share price dropped more than 4% due to declining revenue from the industrial end.
The Good and Bad for Q1, 2013
For Q1, GE reported the continuing operations revenues of $35B. Industrial sales were down 6% to $22.3B. Power and water dragged the overall results, whereas Europe services remained tough. The industrial segment profits were about $200M below the management's expectations due to the worsening condition in Europe and some short cycle push outs from March into Q2. The gap was offset by cost control and better than expected GE Capital performance. Further, shipments should improve significantly in the second half.
GE Capital continued to improve and delivered a solid quarter. The ending ENI balance was reduced by $17B, and the earnings had increased to $1.93B as compared to $1.8B in Q4, 2012. The GECC Tier 1 common ratio had increased to 11.1%, as seen from the table below.

3 Conglomerates On The Long-Term Uptrend [Seeking Alpha]
While the S&P 500 had gained 11.44% year to date, leading conglomerates stocks had been outperforming the market, including General Electric Company (GE) with 13.10% increase, United Technologies Corporation (UTX) with 15.96% advance, and Textron Inc. (TXT) with 20.10% surge as seen from the chart below.

General Electric Company
General Electric Company (GE), with a market cap of $240.41B, is a diversified technology and financial services company and a leader in all markets in which it competes.
GE's latest M&A move was to acquire Lufkin Industries Inc. (LUFK), which is a move to take advantage of an oil-drilling boom, as reported by Bloomberg. It is a move for GE to buy the synergies and growth, as said by an analyst at William Blair & Co. GE continues to expand into the industrial end and shrink GE Capital, where the last reported ENI balance had been reduced to $419B in Q4, 2012 as compared to $461B in Q1, 2011. GE also took a notable step to divest its 49 percent stake in NBC Universal on February 12, thus to better focus on the industrial market as well as return more capital to shareholders while retaining more cash for future M&A.
Analysts currently have a mean target price of $25.60 for GE, suggesting 10.73% upside potential. Analysts, on average, are estimating an EPS of $0.35 with revenue of $34.70B for the current quarter ending in March, 2013. GE is expected to report its Q1, 2013 earnings on April 19, 2013. In the last four quarters, GE had three positive surprises and one in-line result.

GE: Improving Baseline With More Focused GE Capital [Seeking Alpha]
General Electric Company (GE), with a market cap of $239.26B, is a diversified technology and financial services company and a leader in all markets in which it competes. While all industrial segments had positive earnings growth with expanding margins in the last quarter, the progress of GE Capital (which comprises around 28.6% of GE's value currently) had significantly improved GE's bottom line in the past 2 years.
Improving GE Capital, Declining ENI Balance and Improving Earnings
The management continues to shrink GE Capital while improving its quality. GE uses ENI, Ending Net Investment, to measure the size of GE Capital segment. Investors should monitor ENI Balance to quantify how GE is performing against its previously communicated goal to reduce the size of financial services segment.
Below is the detail for GE Capital's ENI as of Q4, 2012:
In the past 2 years, ENI had declined from $461B to $419B and achieved progress every quarter. The GECC Tier 1 common ratio had also improved from 9.9% in Q1, 2011 to 10.2% in Q4, 2012. Most importantly, the earnings had improved from $6.6B in 2011 to $7.4B in 2012, with the breakdown seen in the table below.

General Electric: A Better Buy After The Downgrade [Seeking Alpha]
General Electric Company (GE) is a diversified technology and financial services company and a leader in all markets in which it competes. GE was down 0.63% and closed at $23.62 on March 11, 2013. GE had been outperforming the market with 15.56% gain YTD (vs. 11.66% increase for Dow Jones).
On March 11, 2013, Nomura Securities downgraded GE from buy to neutral with a price target of $24.00 saying the positives are already reflected in the stock. Analyst Shannon O'Callaghan commented,
GE has made key positive steps in the last few years and sentiment has turned more positive. We applaud these positives, but we think they are now reflected in the valuation adjusting for accounting differences. The P/E (adjusted for accounting differences) is now in line with premier industrial peers despite GE still getting 40-45% of its earnings from GE Capital. On a comparable GAAP pension basis, we estimate GE's 2013 P/E is 15.7x, which is a slight premium to peers EMR, UTX, and MMM. Given the 40-45% of GE's earnings still coming from GE Capital, this implies GE's industrial earnings are already being awarded a premium P/E. GE has made a lot of progress in the last few years, and we think portfolio moves such as these could be important next steps. At this stage we think a lot of the good news is priced into the stock, and we see more potential for outperformance elsewhere in our sector.
Analysts Estimates
Analysts currently have a mean target price of $25.07 and a median target price of $25.00 for GE. Analysts, on average, are estimating an EPS of $0.35 with revenue of $34.84B for the current quarter ending in March, 2013. For 2013, analysts are projecting an EPS of $1.68 with revenue of $149.59B, which is 1.50% higher than 2012.

Demographics, Water Scarcity, And How To Invest [Seeking Alpha]
Accessibility to potable water had been improved compared to 30 years ago; however, long term trends for water scarcity are not too optimistic. According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), "Water use has been growing at more than the rate twice of population increase in the last century. By 2025, 1.8 Billion people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity, and two-thirds of the world population could be under stress conditions." Population growth and economic development are putting unprecedented pressure on renewable, but finite water resources.
Understand Water Scarcity
The term, "water scarcity", needs to be understood as a relative concept, which is fundamentally dynamic. Water scarcity is defined in relation to needs and livelihoods where climate, geography and, increasingly, technological interventions determine the distribution of water around the world.

Extension of road tolling on Germany's agenda
Proposals to extend road tolls designed to counter congestion and emissions have been on the agenda in Germany this week. At their latest twice-yearly meeting on Wednesday, state transport ministers adopted a resolution. In this they voted by a narrow 7-6 margin against extending to cars an existing toll on lorries using motorways. One day before the meeting, outgoing federal transport minister Manfred Stolpe opposed the move in a newspaper interview. But Mr Stolpe also expressed an intention to increase existing lorry tolls for more polluting vehicles. See transport ministers.

Ryli had a great day today! She competed in her first indoor tournament of the season. It was an IFAA, and she ended up with a PB score of 260/300. Afterwards, she checked out the speed of her arrows and they fly at 134 feet per second.
Testing the speed of her arrows.
Scoring one of their ends. Great way to keep up with her math :)
Both her and Cathy shot PB's. Ryli made Olympian 260 and Cathy made Olympian 270 ;)
Speed of her arrows.
Ryli's target at the end of the competition. Her sight still needs some adjusting, so hopefully we'll get that fixed tomorrow.
Ryli's perfect end 25/25 :)

A/N: Yes, I'm back to wreak havoc on all your heads with yet another piece of writing. Hopefully, by the time you finish reading it, you'll have enough sanity left to give a review.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
"180º55'32"… 180º55'30"…180º55'29"- Wait! Their numbers are dwindling. They no longer have the entire front covered. Mizaki you fool! You told me they were advanci-"
Neji hissed; his lungs felt as if they were being pierced by icicles as he took in a breath of the cold winter air. The signal's been cut. Hiro was backup for the third division. Lee…"
The Hyuuga shifted his eyes through the foliage, his Byakugan taking up the last of his chakra as he searched in vain for comrades. Lying by his feet was Hinata's bloodied body, and near a tree stump to his right, was a dead Shino.
He had carried both of them for miles, leaving behind the clearing littered with corpses and the echoing cries of battle. Unfortunately, his efforts at healing them had been unsuccessful.
"We are near the rendezvous point. But it seems as if everyone else had yet to arrive. He tapped his headphone, but he knew it was no use trying to communicate. The batteries had long since frozen.
Snow crunched beneath his feet as he carried his cousin and lay her down next to her former teammate.
He turned, giving the two one last glance, before leaping onto a branch, scanning the path, and moving on.
I need to find Lee.
He turned his head upward for a moment, taking note of the barren canopy.
This war couldn't have started at a better time, could it? With no leaves, where is a shinobi to hide? There is only snow and muck and-
His brows furrowed as he sensed a faint chakra signature. So oblique was it, in fact, that it fluctuated to nothingness from time to time.
Either they are attempting to conceal their chakra, and failing at it might I add, or they want to confront me. In either case, however, the result most likely will not be in their favor.
He stopped, concentrating on his surroundings. His head throbbed and the world occasionally spun in a complete circle. When everything had stilled once more, another chakra signature made itself obtrusive, and then another and another.
They seemed to waver in their paths, moving from branch to branch in alternating patterns illogically.
They're toying with me, aren't they? Why would a shinobi move in such a dotty manner? If they are trying to hide, they are making quite a show of it. But still…wait, are those-are those kunai?
Neji's eyes widened at the prospect. He turned to face them, the shape becoming clear to him. And so did the fact that there were exploding tags on every single one of the weapons.
I have to move. He leapt down from the branches, on to the icy ground. And suddenly, he was slipping, sliding, sputtering as he tried to regain control of his body.
He cursed as his Byakugan gave out, his chakra depleted to zero. He could hear the familiar whiz of kunai cutting through the air and a "thunk" as they lodged themselves in the tree trunks and detonated.
He raised his arm, shielding his head from debris.
Damn it! But this doesn't make sense! How is there a chakra signature- a thread of chakra! Of course! From that, I can safely deduce they're a long-range fighter. But… wait! Why have the attacks stopped? What is going on?
The Hyuuga glanced about him wildly. He had long since come to a stop by grabbing on to a tree trunk and pulling himself against it. He panted, feeling vulnerable without his Byakugan to guide him.
"Neji!" He spun, his ankle twisting painfully as he slipped on the ice. He searched his surroundings for the source of the voice.
Suddenly, something collided with his back, forcing him onto the ground, gasping for air.
"Neji! Lee, he's in trouble!"
The Hyuuga growled when he realized his other teammate, Tenten, was in fact the boulder that had just knocked the air from his lungs.
"Tenten, get off me," he hissed in pain.
When he managed to stabilize himself on his feet, he gave her a measured look.
"Stop being so reckless," he scolded. Tenten scowled, rolling her eyes and placing her hands on her hips.
"Where is the rest of your squad?" she questioned.
"Dead," Neji told her, not one hint of remorse in his voice. He turned, "Let's go," he called over his shoulder and began to walk.
Tenten stood still, shock ebbing itself in her mind as she digested the information. She watched her teammate's back for a moment before running to catch up to him.
"They're dead?" she asked again.
"I will not repeat myself," Neji responded, keeping his eyes on the path. Tenten slipped in front of him, forcing him to meet her gaze.
"Where are their bodies?" she demanded.
"In a clearing somewhere."
Tenten frowned, "Why didn't you bring them with you?"
Neji sucked in a breath. He was tired, wounded, and cold. He was in no mood to converse with his teammate. "Tenten, shut up and follow me." He knew she wasn't going to listen, and he couldn't understand why he bothered to waste his breath on her. But to his utter surprise and relief, she quieted, falling in step beside him.
Together they trudged through the forest.
Trees and fallen branches lay covered in snow and mud. Pine needles littered the ground. Icicles dangled like daggers from tree limbs above their heads, promising harm if one were to walk underneath.
Virgin snow layered around their ankles, only to be tainted by their footsteps. They were being careless, they knew. Neji was on edge, his fists clenched, and Tenten clutched a kunai in each hand.
"Can you see anything?" Tenten whispered after about an hour. Neji shook his head. His chakra had slowly begun to restore itself, but with the Byakugan activated, it would diminish in minutes.
Tenten wrapped her arms about her, "It's so cold," she commented. The Hyuuga watched her from the corner of his eye, realizing that she was no longer wearing her cloak.
He sighed and stopped. Tenten went on ahead a few paces, deep in thought. But she soon stopped too, when she noticed Neji was no longer next to her. She spun around quickly, her heart pounding. Her kunai were poised, ready to kill.
"Relax, Tenten, and wear this," Neji told her, tossing her his own cloak. She caught it with ease, but did not put it on immediately. She glanced at him wearily.
"Will you be alright?" she asked. The Hyuuga could already feel goose bumps rising on his skin, but he did not tell her so. He merely nodded and started to walk once more after she had put it on.
"I wonder where Lee is," Tenten murmured.
"I'm sure he's fine," Neji assured her. They were quiet, ears straining to detect enemies. Suddenly, they heard a soft crunch of snow behind them.
Tenten caught her partner's gaze from the corner of her eye. Together, they turned around, preparing themselves for an onslaught of attacks. They were surprised, so much that Tenten clutched Neji's sleeve and gasped, realizing it was only a deer.
"We mustn't be quite so paranoid," the Hyuuga whispered, his voice hoarse. He grabbed Tenten's hand, holding it for a few seconds as she calmed down, and then pried it off his arm.
They didn't continue walking, however, until the deer disappeared.
They had only gone a mile, when they encountered their second scare: the dead body of their sensei. Tenten pressed a hand to her lips, stifling a cry of grief. Tears warped her vision till the world seemed like a kaleidoscope. She knelt down next to Gai's body, shakily touching his face. It seemed wrong; how peaceful he looked when he must have been tormented so.
Neji knelt down beside her, placing a hand on her shoulder. He did not utter a word, but let her cry and express her sudden insecurity. Tenten leant down and kissed her sensei's temple, before turning to look at Neji.
The Hyuuga watched as his teammate attempted to wipe the tears that would not cease. He pulled her hands from her face, and wiped her cheeks with his thumbs. They were callused and rough, but they were familiar in a world now so full of oddities. Tenten relished the touch.
Neji pulled her to her feet, keeping his hands on her shoulders to prevent her from collapsing. Slowly, he pulled her closer, and brushed his lips against her hairline.
This seemed soothing enough, for Tenten stopped quaking and crying. In fact, she allowed herself to close her eyes for a moment (something she hadn't done all day), feeling fully protected.
They gave their sensei one last glance, a memory that burned in their minds for the rest of their lives, for they never saw his body again.
Slowly they picked up speed and moved on.
The sun began to set, soon followed by the appearance of a few stars on the horizon. "We should set up camp," Neji said, pausing in his gait. Tenten nodded, shifting closer to him as a shroud of darkness blanketed the forest.
They found a small clearing, protected on all sides by twisted, mangled branches and bending trees.
They didn't eat much, and only took a few sips of water each. Neji offered to take the first watch, seeing at how worn his partner looked. She curled up next to him. The ground was hard, dirty, and cold, but she felt safe being close to the Hyuuga.
Soon after she had gone to sleep, Neji gently shifted her body, so that her head rested on his lap. He placed two fingers on the side of her neck, feeling her pulse. The constant beating calmed him. She was alive, a fact he cherished. He had seen so many pairs of lifeless eyes, numerous battered bodies, all in too little time.
When Tenten awoke, early the next morning, she nearly screamed when she felt something cold on her neck. Fearing it to be a knife, she slowly reached up to touch it. Upon realizing they were fingers, Neji's fingers, she turned onto her other side.
She was asleep in his lap, a revelation that caused her to flush in embarrassment. Fearing she had rolled onto him in the middle of the night, and her partner had let it slide for once, she sat up and scooted away.
In that instant, Neji's eyes shot open and he snapped his head in her direction. "Where are you going?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow.
Tenten jumped at the sound of his voice. "I'm sorry," she said.
"Pardon?" the Hyuuga waited patiently for her to respond.
"I'm sorry," she repeated.
"For what, may I ask?" Neji's cocked his head to the side.
"For, you know… rolling on top of you at night." Tenten's cheeks reddened, and she prayed the Hyuuga would just assume it was the cold.
"I moved you onto my lap," her partner told her, as if it were absolutely normal. Tenten sputtered, eyes growing the size of saucers.
"You moved me?" she squeaked.
"You would hurt your neck if you continued to lie on the ground," Neji told her. It was a lie, of course. He had just wanted her closer to him, but this he would never admit.
Tenten blinked, before responding with a quiet "oh." Neji caught the slight note of disappointment in her voice, but decided not to pester her about it now; they needed to get moving.
Breakfast was a simple mixture of dried fruit and water. After a half hour of preparations, they strapped their packs onto their backs and leapt to the branches. Chakra and strength fully restored, they made good time.
Neji activated his Byakugan, pleased that he was no longer limited to seeing what was twenty feet away from him.
By the afternoon, however, the two were blind. Clouds, ready to unleash a full-fledged blizzard upon their heads, had crept over the forest during the night. It was snowing quite heavily, and combined with the slippery conditions, the two were forced to walk.
Neji entangled his hand with Tenten's, as to not lose her. They trudged, wet and freezing, until they stumbled upon a fox's den.
It was abandoned, as far as they could tell, and both quickly crawled inside. They sat, pressed together, trying to trap some heat in their bodies. Tenten began to sniffle and sneeze, and much to her chagrin, fell ill.
She urged Neji to move on without her, but had been quickly silenced by a slender finger pressed to her lips, and a stern glare.
"I'm not leaving you alone," he told her, and she left it at that.
Neji held her under his chin for hours, rubbing her back soothingly. Tenten soon fell asleep, her fingers clutching the fabric of the Hyuuga' shirt with much force.
He gently pried them loose, and laid his cheek on her head.
They had grown to trust each other immensely over the course of their years on team Gai. Tenten allowed herself to be vulnerable around Neji. Neji only let down his guard when Tenten was around. They were inseparable, and only picky about missions they were not assigned together.
Tenten began to stir. Neji held perfectly still until she opened her eyes. He then inclined his head and pressed his forehead to hers.
"Are you feeling alright?" he murmured. Tenten's eyes were still glazed and thick with drowsiness. He waited a few more minutes as the haziness lifted.
She yawned, and Neji loosed his arms around her, allowing her ample room to stretch.
"Where is Lee?" she asked, leaning back against him.
"I don't know," Neji answered, wishing quite the opposite was true. Sure Lee could be obnoxiously loud at times, but his cheerfulness had begun to grow on his other two teammates. Eventually, they learned not to become irritated by his attitude, but to simply nod along. It was just the boy's nature, something that had become very endearing about him.
"Well wherever he is, let's just hope he's alive. Even if it means he's barely breathing," Tenten said. Neji nodded in agreement and the two again prepared themselves for the journey.
The blizzard had turned from large sheets of snow, to flurries. However, the sky was still darkened by angry gray clouds.
Neji scanned the path with his Byakugan. This time, they weren't alone.
"There are about five shinobi up ahead. I'd say about seven miles. If we take an alternative route that way, " he paused to point in the direction, " we may be able to ambush them."
Tenten considered this. "Do we have to fight?" she asked. Neji spun to face her, quite surprised. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
"Are you sure you're all right?" he questioned, pressing the back of his hand to her forehead.
She swatted it away. "Neji, we shouldn't waste time picking a fight. We need to find our friends," she reasoned.
The Hyuuga knew she had a point, but he hadn't done anything productive for a whole thirty-six hours! He was itching to feel the adrenaline course through his veins as he cut down his enemy.
"Tenten, we won't kill them right away. We can always interrogate them to see if they know of anyone's whereabouts. Alright?" he said, turning back around. He leapt to a tree branch.
"Coming?" he asked. Tenten was reluctant, but followed. She traveled a bit slower, as a result of her recent sickness. Neji slowed down to match his pace with hers. He made a mental note to not let her out of his sight during the battle.
Even with their decreased speed, they still moved remarkably quickly. Gai's vigorous training had not been without reason.
As they approached the shinobi, one in particular caught their eye. They had found Lee.
He was terribly beaten and his clothing was tattered. He was bound and pushed along, probably half unconscious.
Tenten bit her lip, wanting so badly to look away. She could feel anger roll off Neji's form in thick waves. No one messed with anyone he cared about, absolutely no one.
"You ready?" he asked, his fists tightening. She answered with a soft "yes".
He turned his head sideways, gazing at her out of the corner of his eye. "Stay close to me," he instructed, "Call for help if you need it. I will not tolerate you ending up in the same position as Lee. Understand?"
She nodded and readied her scrolls. The plan was for her to unleash her barrage of weapons as a distraction while Neji swept in and took Lee to safety. He would then help her finish whoever survived.
Tenten bit her thumb and smeared blood on the parchment. Quickly performing a few had signs, she leapt into the air and began stage one of the attack. Neji waited for the shinobi to turn around and face her, but they never did. Lee was the only one who looked over his shoulder.
They're all clones! All, but Lee! Neji thought, eyes widening, He jumped to the ground and sprinted to protect Lee using his kaiten.
"Stop!" he called. "These aren't the real ones!"
Lee mumbled something incoherent, before he slumped against Neji. The Hyuuga cursed under his breath, his Byakugan frantically searching for hidden chakra.
They've been following us. They waited till we caught up with the clones carrying Lee to attack. But why didn't I… the kunai! Of course! When they exploded, my Byakugan gave out. The smoke was a cover up while they stationed themselves. But then again, how did they know my range limit? And how could they… Hinata! I left her in that clearing. She doesn't have the curse mark; her Byakugan won't deteriorate! They must have used some jutsu or-or revived her-or something of the sort, to figure out the information. We-I was such a fool!
Neji picked up a faint chakra signature and growled. He grabbed Tenten's arm and pulled her against him.
"Take Lee and get to safety. These guys are clever and you both are in no condition to fight," he whispered in her ear, before pushing her behind him. "Wait till I distract them, then run!"
He slipped into his battle stance, glaring at his opponents. Tenten shifted Lee onto her back, preparing to escape. But she would come back. She refused to leave Neji to fight all alone.
Neji charged, in the mood for much blood shed. Tenten darted the opposite way, not pausing till she was a mile away. She panted, and placed Lee on the ground. She had to make sure he remained safe, but how? She looked about her, searching for a space to hide him.
Grumbling when she could find no such spot, she set out to make one. She dug a hold in the ground and placed Lee within it. She then covered the hole with branches and shrubbery. Passing shinobi would obviously think it was a trap and would avoid it. She then strung kunai and senbon needles dipped in poison on barbed wire and prepared a real trap, just in case.
Satisfied, she made her way back to the battle scene, only to find a nightmare come true when she arrived. Neji lay covered in blood on the ground. An enemy ninja was preparing to decapitate him with a sword.
Tenten did not know how to stop him, her mind blanking at the thought of losing her partner. And so, she screamed.
Unknown to her, Neji was trapped in a genjutsu. In the illusion, he was watching helplessly as Tenten and Lee were stabbed to death. It had led him to believe Tenten hadn't really followed orders, but instead stuck around to aid him.
But her scream, he did not know how it reached him, but that scream brought him to his senses. He rose from the ground and blindly dashed towards his assailant. He tried again and again to jab him, but each time, he only felt air.
And then he felt a sword go right through his stomach. He slumped to his knees, coughing up blood.
"You're not strong enough to protect them. You're a failure!" the shinobi jeered, kicking him in the face.
"No," the Hyuuag rasped, "You're wrong. I will defeat you… because… I have a reason I cannot lose!" Neji managed to say between gasps and shoots of pain.
He was punched and sent flying back into a tree. He swore he felt his neck crack from the impact. He was paralyzed, from the collarbone down, he soon discovered. The enemy approached him, ready to kill him.
"NEJI! GET UP!" The same plea repeated itself, until he found himself saying it too. He felt a dull pain in his hip, and when he opened his eyes, he realized the genjutsu had been broken.
Tenten was peering down at him, tears streaming down her cheeks and plopping onto his face.
"Tenten? What-" But he did not bother to finish his question when he saw her shake her head. She buried her face in his chest, crying hard.
"You idiot! What if they killed you? What then, huh?" she scolded.
Neji couldn't help but chuckle. "I wouldn't ever leave you alone," he told her.
He held true to his word, for in the morning, when she and Lee awoke, he was still there.

A few questions:
- Are you prepared to survive without any services for at least 3 days?
- Are you trained to be able to help others after a disaster?
- Do you know what the Seattle Fire Department will do after a disaster?
- Are you familiar with the response plans of the Seattle Office of Emergency Management, Seattle Police Department, the Red Cross and King County Public Health?
West Seattle Be Prepared launched a new Training and Education Series in 2010 with the intent of making West Seattle citizens the most educated, well-trained and most prepared community in the area! This series features informative lectures, hands-on training, panel discussions and presentations by agencies and city services; presenters will speak not only to their plans for Seattle, but more specifically to the plans for West Seattle. What resources will be available? What resources or training do we still need?
Topics include medical options for West Seattle during an emergency; the local emergency procedures and plans of West Seattle Fire Department Battalion 7; and how radios, social media and technology can be used. We'll focus on concerns that many of us have: disaster preparedness for vulnerable populations, which include children and seniors, psychological (as well as physical) first aid, pet preparedness and pet first aid, and more! The series kicked off on Thursday, April 7th with a presentation and some training by the King County Red Cross.
If you have additional training or presentation suggestions, or if you are able to donate your time/training as a presenter, please contact email@example.com.
Watch our Event Calendar for future events in this series.

I joined a company back in 2014 for a package of training and incentives to take my career to the next level. Approaching 30 my husband and I had put children on hold for me to take this next step – the promises never materialised and after a year we decided to start a family. Thinking it may take a while, a bit shocked when I fell pregnant rather quickly.
I worried myself sick about telling my boss who already had made his feeling clear about the recent pregnancies of other staff and how inconvenient they were. I decided to tell work after an early scan (thinking it might help to protect me at work).
They appreciated the early notice, but I said I would prefer to wait until my 12 week scan to make it public knowledge. They probably didn't even wait an hour to share my news round the management team – one manger being told she ' better not be next and to wait 6 months'
I was asked immediately how much time I intended to take off and when I said most likely a year I was met with 'I assume you won't be returning then'
Quickly I was called into a meeting so they could ask what my intentions were and would I be looking to return to a more junior role. It was also made clear my job role was a full time job role and that's all they wanted. I found the pressure too much and just said it was before my 12 week scan and too early.
I was then met with warnings of 'targets need to be hit so I would get my maternity pay' or 'I hope I work hard so there is a business to pay my SMP'. I didn't even bother to respond with the fact my SMP is my money as they didn't offer company pay.
I had no risk assessment even after a fall at work and I refused to make anything an issue.
I was asked if i could afford so many antenatal appointments off unpaid. I had to have a meeting so I could show them the government website about paid leave. In the end I just made appointments in my own time if I could.
If anything needed doing to improve the working conditions, staff were told if I doubled my target we could have air con, no leaks, fix the water machine etc
Shortly before I left they applied more pressure saying they had certain information for disciplinary but wouldn't take it further- I believe just to make sure I really felt alienated.
I am currently starting my maternity leave so I'm sure they will find a reason to make sure I don't return.

Lions Gate's liquidity is "adequate" over the next 12 to 18 months. Our assessment incorporates the following expectations, assumptions, and factors:
-- We expect sources of liquidity (including cash and unused revolving credit facility capacity) over the next 12 to 18 months to exceed uses by 1.2x or more.
-- We expect net sources will be positive, even if EBITDA is slightly negative over the next 12 months.
-- We expect Lions Gate to remain in compliance with the covenants under its credit agreement. Liquidity to finance film production is provided under separate facilities.
-- It has good relationships with its banks.
As of June 30, 2012, Lions Gate had $68 million of cash on hand and $41 million of availability under its $340 million revolving credit facility (maturing July 2013). Over the next 12-18 months, it has potential debt maturities of about $220 million of production loans, about $36 million outstanding under its Mandate film financing facility (maturing April 2013, and a $65 million Pennsylvania Regional Center secured loan due April 2013. We expect the production loans and the Mandate facility to be repaid with the revenues of the films financed under these facilities. We also expect discretionary cash flow (modestly negative for the 12 months ended June 30, 2012) to turn about $100 million positive in fiscal 2013. Lions Gate has minimal annual capital spending needs of about $4 million (assuming no additional advances to affiliates), and we assume it will not initiate a shareholder dividend.
The stable rating outlook reflects our view that Lions Gate's financial performance will be, on average, more profitable than in the past with the addition of the Summit film library and franchises, and retention of key Summit talent. We expect earnings and cash flow will still fluctuate widely, depending on the timing and success of new releases. We believe the chances of a downgrade or an upgrade are equally likely. We could lower our rating if the film slate underperforms at the box office, causing EBITDA and discretionary cash flow to remain minimal and straining liquidity in advance of upcoming debt maturities. Conversely, we could raise the rating if Lions Gate's film slate over the next one to two years exceeds our expectations, thereby improving liquidity through higher discretionary cash flow and enabling the company to pay down debt. A key consideration will be its progress in developing new film franchises that assure healthy ongoing EBITDA and positive discretionary cash flow.
