Overcoming the Middle Income Trap
The Western Balkans Case
The Western Balkans have a lot going for them: ideal location next to the world's largest economic bloc, a well-educated workforce, relatively low wages and decent infrastructure. FDI and investors should be rushing in … but are they?
Southeast Europe is the next frontier of EU expansion and includes six countries: Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. These countries have a lot in common and an equal amount of differences. They are all relatively small open economies, with a growth strategy premised on deeper international integration. Some, especially Macedonia, are more advanced in attracting international investors but as a whole, the region seems to be stuck in a classical Middle Income Trap: they are too rich to compete on low-cost manufacturing but are too poor to be global innovators. After a strong recovery following war and conflicts in the 1990s, the growth momentum has stalled over the last five years and the region has been particularly vulnerable to external shocks.
In order to exit from the trap, the greatest challenge is to boost –currently lackluster- export competitiveness. The combined exports of the region barely exceed Euro 30 billion. This is what some companies, like VW, produce in less than two months. Even though these are small countries with large immediate neighbors, exports only account for 40% of GDP. Macedonia is the only economy above the pack with exports slightly above 50% of GDP. Some emerging economies, even with a larger domestic market, have an export-to-GDP ratios hovering at 100 percent and the world's top performer Singapore has an export share of 205 percent! (see figure).
There is however a significant exception to such weak export performance. The Western Balkans are very successful at "exporting" talent and skills – not embedded in goods and services but in people. Today, a quarter of the region's population lives abroad; and the diaspora has a significant impact on these economies via remittances (even though these inflows of cash are not optimally converted into long-term investment). Some of the most well-known migrants are football stars, many of which play in the German Bundesliga or British Premier League (like the Bosnian Dzeko or Serbian Vidic).
Escaping the Middle-Income Trap is far from easy yet not impossible. Few countries have managed in the last 100 years but among those that did were several European nations that leveraged the Union's powerful "convergence machine". For Southeast Europe, there is only one straightforward way to succeed: The region needs to integrate with its neighbors and the world and boost exports. In turn, there are three natural ways for the region to gain export competitiveness:
- Integrate regionally and globally. Use the proximity to the world largest economic bloc and benefit from the European Union's "convergence machine". To do that, make sure trade can flow freely and investors can operate successfully as car manufacturers in Slovakia or Poland can attest. At the same time, look also outside Europe to find inspiration for growth-inducing reforms. New players, especially from Turkey and the Middle East (e.g. Etihad engagement in Air Serbia), are also making inroads and demonstrate the opportunities of European frontier markets.
- Improve the investment climate. With the exception of Macedonia, the investment climate in South East Europe is among the worst in all of Europe. Even Southern European countries, including Greece are now making headway in cutting red-tape and simplifying the entry and exit of businesses. To become a vibrant economic region, the investment climate in Southeast Europe still requires a lot to be done. For example, it takes more than 21 months to enforce a contract in Serbia and 177 days to get electricity in Albania.
- Invest in skills and keep labor costs aligned with productivity. Workers in Southeast Europe have good basic skills, especially when compared to other emerging regions in Asia and Latin America. However, as future jobs will not be in light manufacturing (such as textiles), the region needs to further enhance its skill base while at the same time maintaining competitive labor cost, which are about 40 percent lower than in the new EU member states (EU11). The labor markets are also increasingly demanding "new" economy skills, while many of the workers above 40 mostly have manual or routine skills.
The future can be bright for Southeast Europe. In January 2014, Serbia – the region's largest economy – has formally started negotiating to enter the EU (following Montenegro in 2012). The prospect of EU integration is a great motivator for carrying out needed reforms and the dividends in terms of export-driven growth can materialize in the short run given the region's favorable starting point.

Goa has been flooded by resorts and hotels over the last decade, but there are few elusive places that are worth your time for the fresh perspective they throw on staying. Jan and Aarti came to the old Goa adjacent this homestay and instantly fell in love with an old typical mansion. They set about renovating it keeping the same aesthetic language of the place. The finished wonder is their beautiful home which they have now opened to guests to enjoy Goa, the way they did when they first came here. Tucked away pleasantly untouched from the touristy clamour, this homestay is for those who want to experience Goa in a completely different way. Vast stretches of fields and a ferry to get you across and quaint small tea shops are scattered on the island â its main attraction. Aarti and Janâs renovated house is a great blend to have your own privacy and yet feel like family by joining in for a couple of drinks by the bar. The swimming pool adds a great touch for those who just want to catch the sun but not go all the way to the beach. Pet: Not Allowed.Read more

Heart rate (HR) is an excellent measure of exercise and your training intensity. In the human body heart rate is regulated to match the demands of the body and the environment. When exercise intensity increases, heart rate also increases to match the increased rate of energy expenditure and oxygen uptake.
Heart rate can be expressed as the absolute number of beats per minute (bpm) or as a percentage of your maximum heart rate (% HRmax) or heart rate reserve (% HRR). Absolute heart rate during training is not very informative on its own, but when it's expressed and interpreted in relation to HRmax or HRR it determines individual exercise intensity.
Your heart rate value in beats per minute (e.g. 125 bpm) is individual and cannot be compared to another person's value. A percentage of your maximum heart rate value on the other hand is comparable. For instance your friend may have a higher heart rate value in bpm, but the percentage of your individual HRmax can be the same. This means that you have the same relative training intensity.
Maximum heart rate (HRmax) is the highest number of heart beats per minute (bpm) during physical exertion. HRmax is individual and may somewhat decrease as you age. It sets the individual reference value for your training intensity and is used in the calculation of the default heart rate zones and many Polar Smart Coaching features.
An age-based HRmax is a rough estimate of your maximum heart rate, and it is used as default in most Polar training computers. The most reliable and safest way to determine your HRmax is to have it measured in a maximal laboratory test.
Provide an easy way to adjust and monitor the intensity of your training. By using hear rate zones you can also follow heart rate-based training programs. The default zones are based on your HRmax.
Different training intensities have different training benefits, for instance light intensity enhances basic aerobic endurance and hard intensity improves your body's ability to sustain high intensity exercise and your maximal oxygen uptake.
The default heart rate zones are divided into five intensity zones based on the percentage of your maximum heart rate:
You can define the zone limits yourself as you want. More detailed information about this can be found in the Polar Flow web service.
Help you to monitor your training intensity in cycling and running, and to achieve optimal effects out of your training. Power zones are based on power which is a direct measure of absolute exercise intensity.
Power output is an absolute value of the external work rate, whereas heart rate is the measure of physiological effort needed to produce the power output. Seeing how your heart rate corresponds to the power zones and how it changes over time gives more insight into how your performance is developing.
Power zone limits are calculated to you automatically, but you can change them if necessary. They are in Flow web service under cycling and running sport profiles.
Polar users can track Normalized Power® (NP®), Intensity Factor® (IF®) and Training Stress Score®(TSS®).
A moving symbol in zone display in your training computer showing whether you are inside the pre-set or desired target zone. This feature helps you to reach the desired intensity/pace/speed targets.
Make your runs and rides more exciting with Strava Live Segments. Get alerts about nearby segments, see real-time performance data during a segment and check your results right after you finish. Available for Strava Premium members.
Calculates the number of calories burned based on your individual data: your weight, height, age, gender, HRmax, HRrest, VO2max, and the intensity of your training/activity.
Heart rate-based calorie calculation is used when heart rate is measured, and it measures burned calories the most accurately also in conditions like cycling or lifting weights. Activity-based calorie calculation is used in training computers and activity trackers, when heart rate is not available.
You can see the cumulative energy expenditure (in kilocalories, kcal) during exercise and total kilocalories of the session after exercise. You can also follow your total daily calories.
Helps you to understand how each training session benefits your fitness. It also gives you motivating feedback immediately after exercise. With the Training Benefit feature, you can make your training more varied by altering your training intensity and duration.
The Training Benefit feedback is based on exercise intensity and duration. It reads into how much time you spend and how many calories you burn in each intensity zone. You get a quick overview after each session and for more detailed feedback, you can either check your training file from your training computer or later in the Polar Flow app or web service.
Training Load shows you how strenuous you training session was and helps you compare the load of different workouts. For example, you can compare the load of a long low intensity cycling session to that of a short high intensity running session.
Training Load is based on the intensity and duration of a training session. The intensity of a session is measured mainly by using your heart rate. The calculation is further affected by your personal information, such as age, sex, weight, VO2max and training history.
Your aerobic and anaerobic threshold values are used in the calculation. In addition, the sport you are doing is taken into account via a sport specific factor, which improves the calculation accuracy.
Available in Polar Flow.
in Flow web service
Recovery Status helps you to find balance between training and rest and estimates how much training load you can tolerate. It keeps track of your cumulative load – that is, the intensity, volume and frequency of your training as well as your daily activity measured by a Polar wrist unit. Recovery Status takes your training background into account and estimates your current and future level of physical strain.
Too much training in relation to time for recovery may lead to fatigue and decrease in performance. On the other hand, with too little training within a time frame, you may not take advantage of your whole capacity. By keeping an eye on your recovery status you can plan your training so that you avoid over- and undertraining.
The four Recovery Status levels are:
You can see your Recovery Status in the Polar Flow web service.

I wasnt sure where to place this type of question, so being a newbie, I thought this was a good spot.
I am having problems with IE and hotmail. When I try to download jpg and wmv attachments in hotmail, IE will instantly pop up a seperate window to display them. I have tried netscape and it works fine as well as Outlook express. Every time I try with hotmail and IE for these two types, it does not give me the option to "save as" dialog box. I have checked the file types in the control planel, and the "confirm dialog box" thing is checked. I have also checked to make sure that Jpg's and wmv file types are opening in there respective programs and not with IE. I have deleted cookies and temp/cache files as well. Rebooted and it still is doing the same thing.
One thing that I have noticed is that when I tried it with gif and tiff file attachements. I got a dialog box asking if I wanted IE to open the attachements. I selected yes to the gif and no to the tiff to see what would happen.
So you got it. The gif opened in a seperate browser and the tiff used the usual "save as " dialog box.
So now the real question is...how do I get IE to switch once Ive told it to make a change.
Thanks for any help you might be able to provide with this.

About Feed in Tariffs
Feed-in Tariffs were introduced on 1 April 2010, and replaced UK government grants, as the main financial incentive to encourage uptake of renewable electricity-generating technologies. Most technologies qualify for the scheme, including:
Solar electricity (PV) (roof mounted or stand alone)
Wind turbines (building mounted or free standing)
Anaerobic digesters
Micro combined heat and power (CHP)
The UK Government's Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) makes the key decisions on FITs in terms of government policy. The energy regulator Ofgem administers the scheme.
Your energy supplier will make the FITs payments to you. The large energy suppliers are required by law to provide them; smaller suppliers are not, but many have opted to offer them anyway.
For you to qualify for FITs, the installer and the products you use must both be certified under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS), except hydro and anaerobic digestion which have to go through the ROO-FIT process. The tariffs you receive depend on both the eligibility date and, for solar PV, your property's Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating.
For any Solar FIT a Energy Performance Certificate will be required. BEST Compliance can help you gain this vital certificate so that you can further progress with your renewable project. For a Commercial Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) please click here or contact us
For a better explanation on FITs please click here
Previous Feed In Tariff Work
BEST Compliances previous FIT work have involved many buildings from office blocks all the way through to schools. Below shows just a few of our most recently completed jobs.
Solar Panel Tariffs
Once you are receiving FIT payments, the rate you receive will increase in line with inflation in accordance with the Retail Price Index (RPI).
Evidence of property's EPC rating will be required when applying for FITs. If no evidence showing the EPC has a band D or higher then the lower rate will apply.
The tariff period (lifetime) is now 20 years.
The tariffs are to be reviewed every three months and will be revised according to deployment rates.
Hydro, Wind and Micro CHP tariffs
For hydro, wind and micro-CHP:
Evidence of property's EPC rating is not required for these technologies.
The tariff period is 20 years for hydro and wind, 10 years for micro-CHP.
Microhydro (<50kW) accreditation has to go through the ROO-FIT process not MCS.
The definition of 'hydro generating station' has been extended to include small tidal projects.

You have to provide electricity to the cluster nodes, cooling for them, space for them, and they cost money to maintain and administer. If one assumes a cost per node of (say) $2000 and a cost of electricity etc per node of $200/year -- not insane numbers -- and then count out the years with an 18 month presumed doubling time of performance, then at the end of three years performance is 4x, at the end of five years performance is at least 8x year 1. At that point one is paying $200/year for 8 nodes ($1600) where for $400 extra you could replace them with a single node that ALSO very likely costs you $200/year, so that you break just about perfectly even, except that you really win because your old nodes are old enough to start breaking, use up 8x as much space, because Amdahl's law favors fewer faster systems in most task scalings, because you reset your warranty, because (more) modern hardware typically has other advantages. If somebody else pays the power bill, if you've got plenty of empty rack space and can afford the power bill for still more nodes, if your nodes are extremely reliable and you are a linux god and have the systems configured so that human maintenance costs are nearly zero, then sure, running the nodes past this point is fine and more beneficial than throwing them away. If you have fixed rack space and cooling and power capacity, if you pay your own power bill, if you have "poor" hardware that is starting to have lots of little niggling problems leading to downtime and human effort being wasted, if you have to upgrade linux to get it to run on your newest nodes but your oldest nodes don't have enough memory to hold your computations and a modern kernel and you'd be forced to run an OS heterogeneous cluster throwing them away (or donating them to the poor -- e.g. a nearby high school) is a better choice. And no matter what, by year 6 if you DON'T replace them then SOMEBODY will be paying more for electricity alone for the cluster than it would cost to replace the entire cluster with 1/16th as many machines that would get more work done, faster, for less. Hence the assertions below. If you run your cluster in a relatively "expensive" environment with high fixed costs per node per year (for example if your nodes are sited in a commercial cluster room, where they are likely to charge you a LOT more than $200 per node per year) then your ideal replacement is likely to be a lot less than 5 years. If your work is valuable, your replacement cycle is likely optimal at less than 5 years. If your time is valuable and reliability is important, replacement cycles that match your hardware maintenance agreement aren't crazy. But no matter what, by 6 years your nodes need to be taken out and shot UNLESS you're just running a training cluster, not trying to get work done. For a high school that's great. For somebody doing regular computations, at some point in there an $800 Wal Mart Blue Light Special can outcompute your whole 16 node cluster. I've lived through several turns of this particular wheel, and at some point nodes aren't really worth turning on. Strange, really, but there it is. I'm fortunate to be at a University which DOES pay for the power, and have run nodes out past five years several times, but yeah, I've also spent a tiny bit of money and bought desktops (or even laptops) that were faster than all those old nodes working together. rgb > > On Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 2:40 AM, Robert G.

The topics of these fragments range widely from CSP's comment on his habit of thinking in the syntax of existential graphs to discussions of probability, orders of induction (crude, quantitative, qualitative), the divisions of deduction as corollarial and theorematic introduction of the term "adduction," with a note that the adductions of Socrates were of a crude order. Also notes on the history of logic (Aristotle, Bacon, English logicians) and reflections on the meaning of "pragmatism," and its connection with signs and habits. In regard to the origins of the word "pragmatism," CSP writes: "It was about 1870 - I don't think it could have been as late as 1872 - that I invented the word...."

Purdue University freezes tuition for two years
LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Purdue University is freezing its tuition costs for
the next two years in response to the nation's lingering weak economy.
The freeze
announced Friday means the cost of basic in-state tuition at Purdue will
remain about $10,000 until the end of the 2014-15 school year. The last
year without a tuition increase at Purdue was 1976. Tuition increases
during the past 10 years have averaged about 6 percent, according to a
Purdue news release.
"In this
period of national economic stagnation, it's time for us to hit the pause
button on tuition increases," Purdue President Mitch Daniels said in a
Under the
freeze, the current base tuition for Indiana and out-of-state students on
the West Lafayette campus will remain unchanged for two years, The Journal
& Courier reported.
Purdue will
announce a savings plan with a focus on administrative efficiency sometime
in the next few weeks.
"I have found
a broad consensus among faculty and staff to put the interests of our
students and their families first," Daniels said in a statement. "Our
students and their families deserve a high-value education that they can
afford. We will fit our spending to their budgets — not the other way
The tuition
freeze applies to Purdue's campus in West Lafayette. Regional campus
tuition is determined separately based on factors such as enrollment,
programs offered and the state funding for that campus.

As you enter the driveway of the homestay you are greeted by a magnificent, old Banyan Tree. The greenery of the region and the property itself makes it's temperature 3-4 degrees Celsius lower than the rest of the city. As people familiar with Delhi's weather will know, this is a huge asset during summers. Major Gen Dugal, who is a successful businessman himself, bought the Farmhouse in November 2005 and turned it into a B&B one year ago. His own experience as an avid traveller and corporate giant ensures that the homestay has 7 star facilities with the warmth of a home. And thanks to his eye for detail, in just one year's time, the homestay has acquired an enviable reputation amongst discerning travellers and corporate clients. Initially, it was bought for private use but one thing led to another and soon it became a thriving homestay. The "New Wing" was added with 4 rooms and a large-size pool.
All the 6 guest rooms are huge. Most have their own dressing rooms, balconies and lavish ensuite baths. View from all homes is an integral part of their decor. A self-sufficient suite, with its own pantry, lounge and outdoor terrace lawn seating area is available for people looking for an extended stay. Both the Old and the New Wings share a similar ethnic facade but the rooms in the New Wing are more modern. Rich colours, unique furniture and artifacts embellish the home. In spring, a "waterfall" of hot pink bougainvilleas is seen from the large breakfast room. This Homestay is extremely soothing and almost therapeutic in nature. It is a wonderful option for corporate clients due to its close proximity to Faridabad and Gurgaon. In fact, senior executives have checked out of 5 stars hotels in Delhi/ Gurgaon and moved here for the rest of their stay. People who stay at the homestay love to swim, listen to the chirping birds and stare at the starry sky. Qutub Minar is 25 mins away if there's heavy traffic. REACHING HERE: This homestay is 12 kms away from the popular MG road and the nearest metro station is Chhatarpur a little over 12 kms or 15 minutes drive. So it is easy to reach yet far from the maddening noise and pollution of the city center. Delhi airport - 35 mins drive connected by six-lane roads leading straight to DLF - 20 mins drive.

Beautiful place We stayed here 3 times whilst in the North of India. This meant that we could leave our luggage there and travel with a small suitcase. Navin the manager was very helpful. It felt more like a hotel and we would of liked to have met the owners but was told that they were away. The place was very peaceful and about 30 mins from the centre of Delhi. Rooms were very clean and warm (as the nights and early mornings were very cold). Would recommend anyone to stay there and very good if you are doing the Golden Triangle and want a base.

Feedback on home stay An excellent place for a home stay. The whole place is beautiful - the rooms, gardens, amenities in the room, furniture, decor - absolutely fantastic. Only the service was a little slow - but the overall ambience more than made up for it.

Fabulous homestay in the heart of Delhi A fantastic 1920\'s house with a superb lawn and a great swimming pool. The rooms are more like suites with amazing antic furnitures. One of the best places to stay in Delhi by far and would definitely recommend this homestay to everyone.

Talks of a Chinese slowdown and hardlanding are surfacing again after the HSBC flash manufacturing PMI fell to 48.1 in March.
But former chairman for Morgan Stanley Asia, Stephen Roach was on CNBC saying that talks of a hardlanding are overblown.
"While there is a slowdown, it's benign. And too much is being made about the 7.5 percent target by the premiere. These government targets have been too low for 10 years in a row and I think this one will turn out to be the same. Growth will slow to 8 - 8.5 percent which is a number the rest of the world would die for."
Roach said the slowdown right now is mostly driven by weak external demand which is unsurprising given the recession in Europe. He said Chinese import growth is strong reflecting resilience in internal demand and added that the Chinese government has lots of ammunition, firepower to spend if the economy slows and room to maneuver:
"I would definitely subscribe to the view that these fears over a hardlanding are vastly overblown. You've had a lot of people on your show and other shows talking about a banking crisis, that China's a massive property bubble, that there's a runaway inflation problem. Like most of these stories there's a shed of truth to some aspects of it, but it's a shred. It's been vastly exaggerated.
Inflation for example, the government has done a fantastic job of controlling inflation which was a problem last summer and they've used multiple tools, administrative measures in the food area. A slowdown in bank lending through adjusting these required ratios and five monetary tightenings last year and inflation's come in. So give them a little credit here."

I mentioned a while ago that major dietary changes seem to have completely screwed up my skin chemistry and rendered many of my old HG / faves obsolete. Now I have way too much perfume to just go out and buy more but sadly I am far from my collection at the moment so do need to choose alternatives.
Anyway, the dietary changes were:
Cut out 90% processed sugars
Cut out all dairy products
Cut out egg and egg protein containing foods - including egg lecithin
There have been many Perfume Catalyst / Milestones for me but today these are the three that loom most prominent in my mind...:
CDG EDP (the original) - A gift to my younger self at a time when I had nothing... not even a sense of self. That this person saw such fantastic qualities in me and picked a scent that was all I wished to be (original, unique, unforgettable) just blew my mind. I was too young and emotionally brittle to wear it well then but it is one that I will always have.
One of the most influential fashion designers of the 20s and 30s, French-born Jeanne Lanvin started her career as a milliner in Paris. She hand-made clothes for her daughters that were so beautiful that they attracted the attention of Paris wealthiest residents, who began requesting Lanvins designs for their own children. Soon Lanvin opened her own boutique in the city, which became famous for its mother-and-daughter outfits. The Lanvin brand went on to produce menswear, furs, lingerie
First I reach for and love Dior Dior Addict EDP - a scent I have not worn in nearly 7 years and which I found horridly cloying, smothering, and synthetic due to an excess of that evil note Tonka bean. But a night or so ago it was divine. An addictive miasma of orange blossom, bourbon vanilla, sandalwood and musk. (I think the sandalwood oil I layered with it help keep it in check.)
Then last night I actually reached for and wore that cruel demon rouge, DIOR HYPNOTIC POISON!!! and...and...and
