Restore incentives for Capital Market
The Ghana Stock Exchange has called on the government to reconsider and restore the market incentives that were previously granted both local and foreign investors.
The Exchange said the introduction of the Income Tax Act 2015 had taken away all tax incentives that made the capital market attractive to investors.
The Chairman of the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) Council, Dr Sam Mensah, speaking at the GSE's 26th annual general meeting in Accra, said the idea to tax capital gains during the period that companies were struggling due to the macro economic instability was a setback to efforts aimed at making the GSE attractive.
The incentives included capital gain tax exempt status for listed securities, a three per cent rebate that companies listing on the Exchange enjoy for the first three years of listing and the GSE's own corporate tax exempt status even though the GSE is a company limited by guarantee.
"We are respectfully again asking the government for these market incentives to be reconsidered and restored to the status quo ante," he said.
On market performance, Dr Mensah said the GES Composite Index, which measures the performance of the entire market, fell 11.77 per cent in 2015 compared to the positive return of 5.4 per cent in 2014.
He attributed the negative out-turn to the difficult economic conditions in 2015, including the energy crisis and the depreciation of the cedi, which took a heavy toll on the listed companies on the bourse.
Dr Mensah said the subdued performance was also reflected in the market turnover.
The volume of shares traded for 2015 stood at 246 million shares valued at GH¢247 million compared to the volume and value of 207 million and GH¢346million the previous year.
The Market capitalisation of listed securities at the end of December 2015 was GH¢ 57.1 billion compared to GH¢ 64.4 billion around the same period in 2014, representing a decrease of 11 per cent.
Also, domestic market capitalisation fell by 19 per cent at GH¢11.2 billion compared to GH¢13.9 billion in 2014.
Despite the difficult economic and market conditions, the Exchange recorded a surplus of GH¢ 2.55 million.
On the Integration of the West African markets, Dr Mensah said the programme was making sustained and steady progress as seen in the number of online real-time cross-border trades between Ghana and Nigeria under the sponsored Access Phase.
He said the West African Capital Market Integration Council had decided that the second phase of the project, the common passport and Mutual Recognition, would be implemented in March 2017.

Lentils are derived from a bush-like plant and are part of the legume family. However, unlike most legumes, they are much smaller and only require a fraction of the cooking time. Coming in about 8 different varieties, ranging from yellow to red to green to black, they are extremely high in iron, protein, and nutritional value, while remaining low in calories. They also can be manipulated and used in a vast number of ways. I recently used them as a meat substitute for Sloppy Joes and they were delish! For the recipe, click here. Some of the benefits of lentils are; 1. Lower Cholesterol – Lentils help to reduce blood cholesterol since it contains high levels of soluble fiber. Lowering your cholesterol levels reduces your risk of heart disease and stroke by keeping your arteries clean. 2. Heart Health – Several studies have shown that eating high fiber foods like lentils reduces your risk of heart disease. Lentils are also a great source of folate and magnesium, which are big contributors to heart health. Folate lowers your homocysteine levels, a serious risk factor for heart disease. Magnesium improves blood flow, oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Low levels of magnesium have been directly associated with heart disease, so eating lentils will keep your heart happy! 3. Digestive Health – Insoluble dietary fiber found in lentils helps prevent constipation and other digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome and diverticulosis. 4. Stabilized Blood Sugar – Adding to the many benefits of fiber, soluble fiber traps carbohydrates, slowing down digestion and stabilizing blood sugar levels. This can be especially helpful for those with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia. 5. Good Protein – Of all legumes and nuts, lentils contain the third-highest levels of protein. 26 percent of lentil's calories are attributed to protein, which makes them a wonderful source of protein for vegetarians and vegans. 6. Increases Energy – Lentils increase steady, slow-burning energy due its fiber and complex carbohydrates. Lentils are also a good source of iron, which transports oxygen throughout your body and is key to energy production and metabolism. 7. Weight Loss – Although lentils include all these beneficial nutrients like fiber, protein, minerals and vitamins, they are still low in calories and contain virtually no fat. One cup of cooked lentils only contains about 230 calories, but still leaves you feeling full and satisfied.

Advancing Women's Rights in a Changing Landscape for Development Co-operation
Advancing Women's Rights in a Changing...Development actors worldwide accept that advancing women's rights and gender equality is not only a desirable goal, but a cornerstone of any successful sustainable development framework. Women and girls are in the public eye and recognised as key agents in development as never before. "Investing in women and girls" is increasingly heralded as a keystone strategy for women's economic empowerment, and indeed, for broader development and economic growth. Variations on this discourse are coming from as diverse actors as the World Bank , Newsweek , and Walmart . Funding agencies and international NGOs have increasingly adopted the language of "investing in women" via new policies and programmes. Corporations are emphasising women...Read More

Officials of the GHMC picked up meat and biryani samples at Shah Ghouse restaurant in Gachibowli after rumours about meat adulteration surfaced on the social media. "There is no truth to the rumours. We are butchers and trade in meat besides owning these restaurants. Why should we mix meat of any other animal?" said Muhammad Rabbani, co-owner of the restaurant.
Trouble began on Monday afternoon with images of slaughtered dogs and heaped meat spreading on the social media creating incredulity and revulsion. On Tuesday, as rumours spread more, GHMC officials stepped in. "We have picked up samples and are sending them to State Food Laboratory, Nacharam and the report will be out in a week. I think these rumours have been spread due to business rivalry and these things keep happening from time to time," said P. Murthy Raju, Food Safety Officer, GHMC, West Zone and South Zone.
GHMC officials served notice on the restaurant for not using meat procured from certified slaughter houses at Chengicherla and Pedda Amberpet. "If they had followed protocol and procured meat from where they were supposed to get, they wouldn't have had to face this problem," said an official, who collected samples of both raw as well as cooked meat. All the three branches of the restaurant were inspected on Tuesday. "We do routine inspections but due to rumours, we had to do this special inspection," said GHMC West Zone official.

Lake Frederick Home Owners Association: Financial Reports
As you all know, last year we came together in a hurry and flew by the seat of our pants through the season. This year, we wanted to be a little more organized in our approach to fundraising and sponsorship opportunities….so we came up with something a little different. We wanted to incorporate some of the feedback we got last year which was to offer the opportunities earlier in the year, and allow for people to sponsor the season rather than coming back with each event.
Know any businesses impacted by our presence on the river or who might be willing to contribute their support of our cause? You can download the LFHOA Donation Letter to learn more about our cause and this year's progress and our LFHOA Sponsorship Form to donate to a specific event or events, or the entire season.
River rats are committed to patronizing the businesses who are in this with us. We appreciate your support!

If you have not yet filled out one of our official membership applications, please print out the attached copy and mail it back to the address below. We are aware many of you submitted addendums to us, to show your support. This is a little different. We must have a signed hard copy on file for each cabin that is still "in" with us on this plan and partner with SEI to develop it. For now, this membership is limited to residents on Shelly and Beshore, who are or are trying to become (transfer not completed) licensees, and we only need one representative member from each lot.
This is the just one of the first steps for us as our plan is still currently in progress. We will open this up to our friends on other islands at a later stage, we're still all in this together.

So we were asked a great question!!!
"What is a Poker Run?!?!"
If you were here in 2012 you will remember all of the fun had that day as we came together as a community after Bill & Betty Little lost their beloved cabin to a fire early in the season. We spend nearly a full summer planning the fun & giving that would follow!
After a fun day on Shelly we raised enough $ to donate over $4,000 to the Londonderry Township Fire Department. Which lead to great friendship & support that carries through today!
We are holding our 2016 LFHOA Poker Run on September 3rd!
So here's what you can expect!
Fun! Community! Giving! & Fundraising!
The Poker Run will start at the picnic area.
The donation is $10.00 (kids 12 & under are free.
Once you get your wrist band & playing card, you will move around the island stopping at different stations. You can walk, run, golf cart, tractor, bike, dance (whatever you feel like)
Each station is hosted by island volunteers who have been busy planning their themes and fun. (Think a cross between a carnival, pub crawl, and tailgate:)
Some of the stations are just for fun & will have games, drinks, &/or treats & some will include playing cards.
This is where the "Poker" comes in!
At each of the 5 card stations you will pick a card, adding to your "hand". You will pick up your final card at the Finish line! Whoever has the best poker hand at the end wins!
We will have a prize table & other fun at the start/finish line!
We will be donating 20% of our entry donations to the Londonderry Township Fire Co. Everything else goes to our fight to #savetheislands
Come PLAY with us!
Purchase your Poker Run T's at LFHOA.net by Clicking "Get Your Gear" (This appears at the very top toward the left if you are accessing it from a computer or way way at the bottom if you are accessing from a smart phone)
Started by one of our own river rats, Ms. Sherrie McCartney, we're looking to get 200 people to donate $10 each, and if we meet this goal, she will add another $100 donation! Such a smart idea! It's really picking up, and we've had a couple other people offer to match her donation, as well as a couple others who will double it if we can do this by 7/31.
Won't you help?

Marine Radio
Licences and certificates
Under federal regulations, operators of VHF and MF/HF radios are required to hold an operating certificate; the normal certificate for recreational operators is the Marine Radio Operators Certificate of Proficiency (MROCP).
Many Coast Guard and VMR stations provide this course or may advise where a local course is available.
Operators of 27 MHz equipment are not required to hold a certificate but are strongly encouraged to obtain one for their own and other users' safety.
Station (equipment) licences are no longer required for 27 MHz or VHF radios but are still necessary for MF/HF long-range radio equipment.
Marine radios are essential and in most cases the only method of lifesaving by communicating with other boats, marine rescue groups and to receive navigational warnings and weather updates.
There are many factors for you to consider including:
the area of operations
location of local volunteer marine rescue group
the number of boats in the same area
your budget
size and type of boat
There are four main types of marine communications equipment.
– this is the preferred radio for short range communications.
All large boats and an increasing number of smaller boats monitor Channel 16.
Areas with large boating populations have marine rescue stations monitoring channel 16 and 67 on a 24-hour/7-day basis.
Weather information is regularly broadcast on channel 67. Channel 16 is for emergencies or initial calls and should not be used for routine messages or 'chat'.
Most areas throughout Queensland have a local 'chat' frequency or a common use rebroadcast frequency.
The local marine rescue station can advise on this practice.
– this has very limited range and, although better than no radio, you should check that a limited coast station is in your immediate vicinity before relying on this equipment for your safety.
Most marine rescue groups monitor channel 88 but larger boats at sea do not listen to this radio.
– these radios have a greater communication range if traveling long distances from shore although they are reliant on atmospheric conditions and to some extent on hull material.
They can be difficult to operate without training and practice.
All states and territories operate 24-hour/7-day monitoring on the frequencies 4125, 6215 and 8291 kHz from 'Coast Radio' stations Cairns, Gladstone, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Hobart, Perth, Port Headland and Darwin.
Queensland HF services cover coastal waters to a minimum of 200 nautical miles seaward from sites located at Cairns (call sign: coast radio Cairns) and Gladstone (call sign: coast radio Gladstone).
Weather broadcasts are made on frequency 8176 kHz. Navigational warnings are also broadcast on this frequency at the scheduled times.
All operators should be competent in the operation of radios, know the frequencies dedicated to distress and safety and be able to properly format and transmit distress and safety messages.
Satellite equipment
– although relatively expensive, the range of satellite equipment and telephones provides excellent coverage and are the preferred long-range communications devices.
Training and operator certification are necessary before operating this type of equipment. As the long-term future of HF monitoring by coast stations is uncertain, investment in this type of equipment is recommended for boats on offshore voyages.
Equipment check
Is the correct frequency/channel selected?
Is the volume adjusted correctly?
Is the squelch adjusted correctly?
Is the RF gain set to maximum sensitivity?
Power supply – is the battery fully charged?
Antenna – are the leads and whip intact, not corroded, have proper earthing and connections in good order?
Mobile phones
Although commonly carried on boats, mobile phones can be considered only as a 'backup' device.
They should not be seen as a substitute for emergency radio communications as:
The cellular system does not provide for distress priority alerting.
Mobile phones may be out of range, have low batteries or become water-damaged.
Marine radios are used to broadcast so that all parties involved in an incident can listen.
Mobile phones call only point to point. If you don't know a number, you can't call for assistance even if the boat is in sight.
Rescue organisations cannot use a radio direction finder to trace a mobile telephone call.
Few volunteer rescue boats are equipped with mobile phones, resulting in delays (and misinterpretation) while calls are relayed from shore.
In an emergency the most vital link between the rescuers and the rescued is radio communications.
Operating procedures
Standard radio procedures are used internationally.
Routine calls
Queensland has a large number of volunteer marine stations which, as limited coast stations, provide an invaluable service to the boating public.
Boats are strongly encouraged to log on/ off with their local station and update changes to location and intentions.
Recent fatalities in Queensland highlight the disadvantages of not using this service.
When making a routine call to another boat or limited coast station, state clearly:
The boat/group you are calling (spoken three times if communications are difficult).
This is – name of your boat
(spoken three times if necessary)
Distress calls
The distress call 'mayday' may be used only if the boat is threatened by grave and imminent danger and immediate assistance is required.
For example, the boat is sinking or on fire.
This distress call has absolute priority over all other transmissions and may only be transmitted on the authority of the skipper or the person responsible for the safety of the boat.
Calls are made on distress frequencies (VHF 16, 27.88 MHz or HF 4125, 6215, 8291 kHz).
Call procedure:
Mayday Mayday Mayday.
This is – name and radio call sign of boat in distress
(spoken three times)
Name and radio call sign of boat.
Details of boat's position.
Nature of distress and assistance required.
Other information including number of people on board, boat description and intentions.
Urgency calls
The urgency call 'pan pan' should be used when use of the distress call cannot be justified but a very urgent message concerning the safety of your boat or the safety of a person needs to be transmitted.
For example, your boat is disabled and drifting onto a lee shore or a crew member is seriously ill.
You may make an urgency call only on the authority of the skipper or person responsible for the safety of your boat.
Distress call frequencies (above) may be used for these calls.
Call procedure:
Pan pan, pan pan, pan pan.
Hello all stations hello all stations hello all stations.
This is – name and radio call sign of boat (spoken three times).
Details of the boat's position.
Details of assistance required and other information.
Safety calls
The safety call 'securities' should be used if you wish to broadcast an important navigational warning to other stations.
For example, you have sighted a large floating object that could damage the hull of a boat.
A safety call is more likely to be made by a coast station or a limited coast station operated by a marine rescue group and may include important weather warnings such as severe thunderstorm, gale and cyclone warnings.
Call procedure:
Say-cure-e-t ay say-cure-e-t ay say-cure-e-t ay.
Hello all stations hello all stations hello all stations.
This is – name and radio call sign of boat or shore station
(spoken three times)
Details of the warning.
You may make the initial safety call to all stations on a distress frequency.
However, you should change to a working frequency to make the broadcast of the safety message.

I'm in the exact same boat as you, I'm in prelims and my school is ranked in the 250's and I do
3U Maths
I would like to know the answer to the question as well
I'm currently in year 11 and in a 250s ranked high school in NSW, I'm planining to get 90+ ATAR for my HSC and unfortunately I'm in a crap school with lots of drop-kicks which is not so good. I do:
Ext 1 Maths
Maths Advanced
and in every subject there are a few hard working student. can my school ruin my dream of a nice atar even if i work fairly hard?
I'm in the exact same boat as you, I'm in prelims and my school is ranked in the 250's and I do
3U Maths
I would like to know the answer to the question as well
if you work hard and rank highly in all your subjects it won't affect you. but you should know that your cohort can drag you down. it is possible to get 90+ atar at schools that aren't ranked highly if you work hard and aim to be in the top 1-5 in each of your subjects
Get in the top bands and in the top ranks and your school won't really affect your ATAR. Pretty much was c8 said
If you're first you won't be affected at all since first place's assessment mark is the highest external mark as well. My friend from a school around urs got 99.75 and another one in ranked 400s got in the 95s for atar so dw

Yea the only downside to not going to a selective school, is that your not getting the competitiion with ranks, that makes you want to study harder. Although if you are motivated enough, then you can any atar you want, just make sure if your 2nd or 3rd, the people above u, are not going to fuck up their hsc and are going to study
that friend is you
don't worry, my school's rank was 250+ and I still managed to get a decent atar, just make sure you get good rankings
If you work hard, and after trials share your notes and resources then you can succeed in getting a good ATAR. At the end of the day it is not the school as such that sets the ATAR, rather the performance of students within the school. Plus if you rank first then you set how well you do.

I was asking for early collections, on the phone all the time trying to get things from them, they ran about after me left, right and centre. You get a feeling they appreciate your business. They are the only place to go for Range Rovers!

Matt was recommended to me from a friend. I initially went to view a car he was selling and I went there with the intentions of just buying it but had no idea about the running costs and potential costs if things went wrong. Matt was very honest he outlined everything rather than just taking my money. What I liked about Matt was his honesty and efficiency. I viewed another car he had just got in, this was on the Monday and by the Friday I was driving it away! This includes sorting the finance and fitting trackers!! I would highly recommend Kendrick Cars if you want piece of mind!!
Pleasure to deal with

Good Enough (September 6, 2005)
In considering the upcoming Xbox 360 that has been on many people's minds, I've thought about why I may or may not get that system.
(in fact, my next article will be specifically on that subject) While making this consideration I have thought a good bit about the value of graphics. It is a discussion that comes up from time to time, and really there isn't any resolution. However, there is a fair amount of data available in regards to system sales, so using that information, I thought I'd consider if better graphics leads to better system sales.
When making this argument, it is important to note that sales doesn't = profit.
For example, the Xbox has a narrow lead on the GameCube in terms of sales, but
is 2 billion in the red while Nintendo has never had a negative quarter with
GameCube. Profit is linked to what you do with the money you make, not
just how much you make. If you are selling your system at a loss (i.e.
paying people to buy it) you will have a lower profit, while you may in fact
have higher sales.
So instead of looking at profit, I choose sales as they show clearly what the
public values. Nothing speaks louder than where you put your money. The hope I have is that the numbers will help show something that should be obvious. Graphics are not the most important factor in determining what we purchase.
A secondary goal is just to present system sales figures that are interesting in their own right and can be applied to many contexts.
Each of the figures below are listed in the order that the console was released.
I start with what I term '2nd Generation,' which is really the rebirth of video games with the NES and SMS after the game industry went belly up with the early systems such as the Atari 2600 and Colecovision
(though notably the Intellivision and Atari 7800 had more of the market than the
SMS did in my so-called 2nd Generation, but are not listed below).
After going through each of the console generations I also look briefly at the handhelds.
For those who just want to see the numbers, there are two charts at the end of
the article that show things visually.
Finally, appreciation goes out to the
forum at PVC for
focusing on the numbers. Many of the numbers they collected were used as a
basis for this article, though wherever possible I've confirmed them through
independent research. Nevertheless, due to the fact that game companies
rarely release numbers, the numbers below may not be 100% accurate.
First to Market: NES
Most Graphically Capable: SMS
Most Successful: NES
Nintendo firmly owned the 2nd generation, a generation that started very slowly as department toy stores, still hurting from the huge losses incurred in the 1st generation of games, had to be convinced before they would start carrying console systems again.
The SMS had better graphic capabilities than the NES graphically, but the Nintendo Entertainment System was a cultural phenomenon both in the US and abroad. Other than its handheld systems, Nintendo has not since enjoyed the market dominance or the sales that it achieved in this generation. This is the only generation where the first console to market had the most console sales for the generation. This generation also is the only time where the first to market survived to the next generation of consoles.
First to Market: TurboGrafx 16
Most Graphically Capable: Super NES
Most Successful: Super NES
I think the 3rd generation is perhaps the most interesting of the generations as it is possibly the most similar to the change we are currently seeing in the move from the current generation to the next generation. The quality in graphics jump from the
previous generation to this generation was not as significant as it was from the 1st (Atari 2600/5200) to the 2nd (NES). There were also more players in the field with the addition of NEC and the pseudo home console Neo Geo.
The TurboGrafx-16 and Genesis both had a near 2-year jump on the Super Nintendo when it launched, but were beat out by a technically superior machine. Interestingly enough, this is the
only time that the most powerful machine was the best selling machine.
(as long as you don't include the Neo Geo as a home console for this
Among the losers the TG-16 or the Genesis was the more graphically capable of the two losers
the Genesis beat it soundly in the market (based on some tremendous advertising
that made the Genesis appear as the more graphically capable system).
Perhaps most interesting is that the number of consoles sold was only up 8.5%
from the previous generation. The trend of the "first to market this generation,
fail to survive to the next generation" begins here with NEC's TurboGrafx.
First to Market: 3DO
Most Graphically Capable: N64
Most Successful: PlayStation
Generation four saw the largest changes in graphic quality in any generation with the move from 2D to 3D.
In addition, there was one more player in the market with the release of the 3DO. Notably
3DO was the first to market and continued the trend of the machine that was first to market being the worst selling of the generation.
Sony stepped into the game at this point with the Sony Playstation, launching long before Nintendo as Nintendo continued its strategy of being last to market but packing the biggest punch
in its hardware. However, this time the much more technologically advanced
machine was trounced as the PS1 soundly beat out the N64 leading to the argument
that 'people don't care about graphics.'
Furthermore, 2 of the most critically acclaimed games of all time were released on the N64 (SMB 64 and Zelda: The Ocarina of Time
the later of which is still ranked number one all time based on review scores at
Game Rankings), but Nintendo's market share plunged from 60% to 23% of the market,
which could perhaps begin a 'the quality of the game doesn't matter crusade,'
but then we would really have to fess up to the fact that in the end it is all
about marketing.
Notably, with the advent of 3D gaming and the large change in graphic quality that went with it, not to mention a little Sony marketing power, the number of systems sold increased 74%
over the previous generation. Notably PS1 sales are still continuing to increase
as the system is still available.
First to Market: Dreamcast
Most Graphically Capable: Xbox
Most Successful: Play Station 2
Following the continuing trend of 'first to market, fail to make it to the next generation' Sega released the Dreamcast ahead of the pack and
though sales were above that of the Saturn, they left console business (noting
the lackluster Xbox and GameCube sales, Sega may have pulled the plug on
Dreamcast too quickly). Sony followed Sega to market with the PS2, Microsoft entered with the Xbox and Nintendo entered with GameCube, a system that fell a half step behind the Xbox technologically, but a full step above the PS2.
This generation also continued the trend of the strongest system technologically (graphically) not finishing first,
though the graphic improvements were not as significant as in the previous
generation (when gaming went from 2D to 3D.
With the expected end of production of the Xbox in Spring of 2006, the expected price cut,
but continuation of the PS2 and the release of Nintendo's Zelda (perhaps sometime in 2006)
this generation is not over yet. Due to the expected cessation of sales on the Xbox, it is likely that the most graphically capable of the systems will
in the end finish 3rd in sales (though both Nintendo and Microsoft have very
small shares of the market).
The sales figures when the generation is over should be even with or slightly above the previous generation, showing that the home console market may have reached saturation.
With the increasing costs in creating games and graphically competitive
systems the cost of the systems and games will increase in the next generation,
which could lead to further contraction in the number of consoles available in
the following generation.
Based on the information provided so far by Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo, it
the difference in graphic quality improvements in this generation will not be as
great as in the past. The most similar comparison may be found in the differences between generations 2
(NES) and 3 (Genesis) in terms of the jump in technology between one generation and another, which
perhaps foreshadows a more equal market share among the different console
makers in this upcoming generation than in previous generations as the third
generation saw the smallest margin between the number 1 and number 2 company.
The first two generations of handhelds I'll report here as a single generation as the generation dividing line (moving from the Gameboy to the Gameboy color) is difficult to track statistically.
(the numbers below include both Gameboy and Gameboy color) In addition,
considering the dominance that Nintendo had on the market it is of little value
to split the generation into segments.
The first Gameboy was grayscale, but attracted a market share that no system has since been able to show. Despite what were considered 'inferior' graphics, the Gameboy outsold all its competitors including the 8-bit Sega Game Gear and the 16-bit Atari Lynx and TurboExpress (which played the entire TurboGrafx card library) not to mention the Sega Nomad that played all Sega Genesis games, while making few changes to the hardware, later simply adding color.
The handheld market has been less focused on graphic quality than even the console market. While the console market hasn't had the most graphically capable machine win the generation since the early 90s, the most graphically capable handheld has never won in the handheld market.
There have been a few handhelds that have come and gone in this generation including the Zodiac, Pocket Neo Geo and Wonderswan, most without the majority of the public becoming aware of them. The Game Boy Advance, including the later SP revision and soon to be released Micro revision have dominated this generation, and the sales numbers for the Gameboy advance are
far from finished as it continues to sell very well, rivaling a console from the
next generation, the PSP in Japan.
The 3rd generation of handhelds started off with the release of the DS, which was followed soon after by the Sony PSP, a machine that graphically is a generation ahead of the DS.
Early PSP sales show promise of capturing a healthy share of the market, though
beating Nintendo seems unlikely at this time.
Over the past 4 months the DS has outsold the PSP 3:1 in Japan, while the US market numbers are thus far holding fairly even (in Japan the PSP is currently struggling to outsell the GBA on a weekly basis).
Certainly the end result is not yet in on this the newest of the game system battles
(the PSP only recently was released in Europe), but based on the trend it appears that generation 3 will again show the most graphically advanced system falling to an inferior system (which explains the
recent tirade of one Sony executive). Though notably neither of the two systems has yet sold as many systems as the Game Gear, which could point to a potential slow-down in the handheld market or indecision by the public on which system to purchase.
The argument of how important on graphics are won't be solved here, but the data is rather interesting. While there is certainly a segment of the market that purchases the most graphically powerful system, the majority of the market has rarely purchased the system
that has the best graphics.
For indie developers this is good news and bad news. The good news is, graphics are not the most important thing. This is really pretty obvious as mentioned before. No-one says 'you've got to buy this game that sucks because the graphics are great!' Instead people say 'this is a great game, and the graphics are awesome, you should get it!' With tools such as the Torque engine at their disposal, indie game developers can create graphics that are 'good enough.'
What does 'good enough' mean? That means that the game is good-looking enough that the customer doesn't think about the graphics and instead just focuses on how the game plays. Clearly from the console data the
VAST majority of buyers are satisfied with games with lower quality graphics and don't feel that they are settling for something less by choosing a game that don't have top of the line graphics. This may create some issues for the next generation of consoles, which by all accounts don't show as big a jump in graphics as has been made in previous generations,
but it should be a boon to indie developers. Many game players may feel that their current system is 'good enough' and not feel initially inclined to upgrade.
On the Indie game side, Indie developers are at a golden period where the graphic tools available allow for games to look 'good enough' to compete with the average console game. From the growing number of people playing indie games, it is clear that the people playing games are taking notice and agree that graphics aren't everything. When you are playing a good game, graphics just need to be good enough to make you want to play.

Sensex ended with net gains of 1.67% whereas Nifty gained 1.77% w-o-w.
Pattern Formation: On the weekly chart, we are observing that the prices have closed above the downward gap area of 10736 to 10702 which was earlier acting as resistance. This suggests further upside. On the daily chart, we are observing series of narrow range body formations with higher highs which suggests that markets are cautious positive at current level.
Outlook: Combining the above two pattern formation it is evident that the undertone in the market is positive. In coming week if Nifty trades and close above 10845 levels then it is likely to test 10897 – 10949 – 11009 levels. However, if Nifty trades and close below 10766 level then it can test 10714 – 10662 – 10602 levels.
Broadly, we are of the opinion that 10610 levels for current month remains crucial support for the indices. Hence as long as Nifty holds the mentioned level there is high probability that Nifty may test 10897 – 10949 – 11009 levels in couple of weeks.

A new crossing maybe on the horizon for one small town. Nearly thirty miles across the Chesapeake Bay lies Maryland's western shore. The state is spending $5 million on a study to find out where to put a third span across the bay.
One option has that new bridge connecting to Crisfield, Maryland. It's something that younger people, like Markie Harrison, says may make her want to stay in town.

Hungary: New rules set for posted workers
New rules designed to better track employees posted to work in Hungary took effect this month.
What does the change mean? As of Sept. 1, EEA companies or their proxies must complete an online registration process and provide the names of employees who are transferred to work in Hungary. The change was made to keep Hungary compliant with a European Union directive on posted workers, but questions remain about how the changes will be implemented and enforced.
- Implementation time frame: The regulations took force Sept. 1. BAL and its network partner in Hungary are awaiting further instructions on how they will be implemented.
- Who is affected: EEA companies posting workers to Hungary and the Hungarian companies hosting posted workers.
- Business impact: The change adds to the administrative requirements of posting a worker to Hungary and hosting a posted worker there. EEA companies or their proxies can begin the registration process on this website and may continue to use the site to notify the government when posting workers to Hungary.
- Next steps: Hungary will soon implement new rules on intra-company transfers as well. BAL continues to follow the matter and will alert clients when additional information becomes available.
Background: The regulation was adopted in July to keep Hungary in compliance with an EU directive. Affected companies must register online and, after completing registration, notify the Hungarian government of any EEA-based employees who are transferred to Hungary. Employers may use third parties to complete the registration and notification processes and will not be required to provide any company documents when submitting the names of employees posted to Hungary. Authorities stress, however, that legal entities not have more than one username and password. EEA employers should also note that the online reporting process does not replace any previously existing immigration or labor reporting requirements.
BAL Analysis: EEA companies and Hungarian host companies should take note of the change. BAL, through its network partner in Hungary, continues to seek clarification on how the new regulations should be interpreted and how they will be enforced. In particular, the regulations place the burden of online registration on EEA companies posting employees to Hungary, but indicate that enforcement checks and sanctions, if warranted, will be imposed against the Hungarian host companies. Until further clarification is provided, both EEA sending companies and Hungarian host companies should be prepared to follow the regulations as written, coordinate with each other and contact BAL with any questions about what procedures should be followed when workers are posted to Hungary.
This alert has been provided by the BAL Global Practice group and our network provider located in Hungary. For additional information, please contact your BAL attorney.

Having a kitchen garden had always been a dream of mine.
To walk outside our backdoors, to pick fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables was once the norm and for many still is.
Connected to our mother Earth, being in tune with her heartbeat provides a security not found in daily commutes and eight-plus hour work days. Beginning in May and continuing though to the first autumn frost I know I will be provided for.
I plant seeds and she waters and fertilizes new growth.
We co-create a garden that provides not only for the human family but also for a myriad of creatures who share our space. Birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects and arachnids compete for a space to create a home or food for themselves and their young. I too compete in the reaping.
Tomatoes, cabbages, peppers, sometimes I am not the first to harvest from the garden!
I do not mind sharing, they give back by strengthening the web of life through our inter-connectedness.

PARIS (Reuters) - Paris St Germain could be without their most prolific strikers, Edinson Cavani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, when they take on Anderlecht in the Champions League on Tuesday, coach Laurent Blanc said on Monday.
"There are two questions marks for tomorrow: Edinson and Ibrahimovic," Blanc told a news conference, adding that Brazil centre back Thiago Silva should be back after a six-week injury layoff.
"We will wait for this afternoon's training session and see if they can be included in the squad," Blanc said of Ibrahimovic and Cavani.
Both players have thigh pains but Blanc hinted that Sweden striker Ibrahimovic, who scored four times in a 5-0 win at Anderlecht two weeks ago, could be fit.
"It is not a serious injury but it can become one. That is why he didn't play against Lorient (in Ligue 1 last Friday)," said Blanc.
"He is supposed to train with the group today and if he doesn't feel any discomfort he will be in the squad.
"He felt some pain in his thigh; we will not take any risk," Blanc said of Cavani, who tops the scoring charts in Ligue 1 with nine goals from 12 matches.
Thiago Silva, who has been sidelined with a thigh injury, is to make his return.
"Unless we have some bad surprise during the training session today, he should be in the squad," said Blanc.
PSG have a maximum nine points from three games in Group C.
