Two facts about the current state of college football are fairly well known:
- The Big Ten is "down," and has an overall disappointing season relative to expectations; and,
- There are no "legends" left in the B1G coaching cupboard.
Turnover is a big issue in football, especially when it comes to the top leadership. The top performing programs in the country are generally helmed by head coaches who have been tenured at least four or five years, have established their programs, recruiting classes, systems, playbook, etc. Nick Saban, Mack Brown, Les Miles... they've all been steering their respective ships for at least 6 or 7 years. In fact, if you look at the SEC as a whole, the top-tier programs generally have the longest-tenured coaches in the conference.
I mentioned the issue of longevity in coaching last week in a piece on the disparity in coaching salaries between the SEC and the Big Ten, because I think the two issues are highly correlated. An excerpt:
One thing that I think is overlooked in the entire discussion over coaching and staffing expenditures is the simple fact that strong compensation yields longevity, and longevity in coaching - stability, in other words - yields dividends in the form of recruiting, coaching systems, and overall program development. The longer you are at a program as a good coach, the more chances you have to recruit high-quality coaches and players who can best execute your system.
Getting coaches to stick around takes paying them well enough to keep them from taking off the minute more money hits the table (yes, Wisconsin, I'm talking to you). Look at the Big Ten's longest-tenured coach, Kirk Ferentz. He's also been one of the league's best-paid coaches for more than a decade. He's not going anywhere, and although his teams' performances have been nowhere near what they should be for the money invested, the omnipresent Angry Iowa Running Back Hating God has a good deal to do what that.
Consider our own James Patrick Tressel. If he had left Ohio State of his own volition, it wouldn't have been for more money; he would have more likely retired than coached somewhere else. While many discuss Ohio State as a "destination job," part of that destination status is because it pays well. You're not going to make better money too many places outside the SEC, and Urbz compensation competes with the top-tier of that conference.
Look at the longevity of the head coaches steering top half of the SEC, by the way - see anything striking? The best-paid coaches are the longest-tenured in the conference, and those coaches are typically winning the most games. Saban, Miles, Spurrier, Richt and Pinkel have all been at their schools at least 6 years, all make more than $2 million, and four of the five won 10 games or more this season. Muschamp at Florida and Sumlin at A&M, likewise, each won 10 games and make more than $2.4 million - think they're going anywhere any time soon with those numbers?
Turns out I'm not the only one who noticed the turnover issue. Rittenberg pointed out earlier this week that B1G turnover has been at a level higher than any we've seen in 20 years. Paterno, Carr, Tressel are just a few of the names no longer in office at the league's top jobs... Aside from Big Ten Coach of the Year For Life Kirk Ferentz, no one in the league has been coaching here more than a decade - after Ferentz, Bret Bielema was tied with Northwestern's Pat Fitzgerald for old-man-on-campus at 7 years, Mark Dantonio is at 6 years at MSU, and Bo Pelini was in his fifth season.
As Rittenberg (frighteningly) points out: "Indiana's Kevin Wilson, who just completed his second season, will be the longest-tenured coach in the Leaders Division in 2013. Eight of the Big Ten's 12 coaches will be in their first, second or third seasons next fall."
The Big Ten, he notes, went through a similar shakeup in the early '90s, and hit a similar down cycle in on-field performance and national prominence. With 60% of the league's members hiring new head coaches between '89 and '92, the league had an abysmal performance in Bowl Games in the first three years of the decade.
"The good news is things improved the next few seasons, as the Big Ten posted winning bowl marks in 1993 and 1994 and won three consecutive Rose Bowls," Rittenberg noted. "Several coaching hires made between 1989-92 worked out well, namely [Barry] Alvarez at Wisconsin and Gary Barnett at Northwestern."
So the bottom line may be "Keep Calm, and Go Buckeyes!"

Anglicanism was the fastest-growing major Christian tradition in Africa between 1970 and 2010, while the centre of gravity of Christianity has shifted to the Global South, reports a study published by the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Massachusetts,.
Demographic data published in "Christianity in Its Global Context, 1970–2020: Society, Religion, and Mission" reports that while agnosticism and atheism has grown in Europe and Christianity plateaued, Europe remains the exception on the world scene as religions continue to gather new adherents round the world.

I'm glad George Conger has called attention to this major report from a highly reliable source. The Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell is the research team that will soon be releasing the third edition of the massive Oxford stat collection on Christianity around the globe. Former Anglican missionary David Barrett founded the ministry, and Todd Johnson has very capably carried the baton since Barrett passed it on to him. There's much food for thought, and much that ought to encourage us, in the global trends documented here. For example, Anglicanism is the fastest growing form of Christianity in Africa (i.e., in terms of percentage growth, the RC's outgrow us in raw numbers).
But did anyone else notice the astonishing forecast for the growth of Anglicanism in Africa during the decade from 2010-2020? This report predicts that African Anglicanism will swell from about 50 million in 2010 to around 65 million by 2020. We all know that Anglicanism is growing rapidly in sub-Saharan Africa, but that's truly amazing, an astounding increase of perhaps 15 million more Anglicans in just ten years. That would mean adding more new members than the combined active members of all the Anglican provinces in the Global North!! Wow. Praise God.

Risk Management Calls for Team Effort
Corporate departments must hang together, or surely they will all hang separately.Is your IT department excluded from providing strategic input in such areas as marketing, sales, human resources and business development? Are you treated like a third-party service provider who happens to be on the payroll? If so, dash to a headhunter; your companys days are numbered. So says risk expert Emily Freeman, pointing to ITs integration with almost every aspect of business.
As the director of E-Business Risk Management & Consulting for Marsh Inc., Freeman studies the crises that befall e-commerce initiatives. While no two companies face exactly the same risks, Freeman said the one pitfall all enterprises must avoid is the "silo mentality" of departmental isolation.

You've been paying attention to recent discussions on email@example.com I see ;-) Glad to see this is a part of the release planning process. > But the most effective way to > uncover these unwritten rules is by proposing a RC for a release vote. I would caution against this approach, generally a vote (any vote) should only ever be called when you know it will pass. If you call for the vote indicating that it is likely to pass because of the process followed people are less likely to become involved and dredge up a half dozen edge cases as objections. I happen to be be sat with Nick Burch, during a fashion show in a hotel lobby in Sri Lanka believe it or not! Nick is a very experienced ASF member who until recently was chair of the POI project, a project that has experience of being under the IP microscope (he also hit significant problems with the first ODF Toolkit release). He and I have been discussing what we believe will be the least painful way of getting the first AOO release out. Between us we suggest that you invite the IPMC to start the review now in order to attract as many interested, but helpful, volunteers as you can. We both feel that by inviting some key IPMC members to participate now a stronger, more positive vote can be called later. Votes attract attention from many more people than requests for assistance. Consider sending a mail to email@example.com along the lines of... "The AOO PPMC is getting ready to prepare for our first release. As you can imagine we have done a great deal of IP work. We believe we are in good shape and our mentors have been asked to further review our work. However, we are also aware that releases from the IPMC can often highlight many grey areas in the legal policies of the ASF. Outlined below is the process we intend to follow in ensuring that our first vote on a release candidate is successful, if you are well versed in Apache policies relating to releases we welcome your input on this process and invite you to help us review our code prior to our first RC build and vote." I realise this is only a small difference from what you propose with multiple release candidates. My point is that calling a vote attracts much more attention than calling for help. Whilst feedback on a vote is often very useful it can also be contradictory. If we ask for input from experienced parties and document their recommendations and the actions taken in the issue tracker we can then refer to this in the vote, in some cases breaking the deadlock that can occur where feedback contradicts. All that being said. this is just an alternative approach to the multiple RC approach. There can be no predicting which is will be the least painless - whichever route is followed there will almost certainly be pain, even the simplest of projects usually have items that have been missed by the project community and mentors. > Of course we should first make sure were following all the written > rules. I think, in this respect, the project is doing well. Although I have not yet done my own complete review. Ross

This proposal describes "iMStrong", a remote monitoring system that uses state-of-the-art technologies to identify the onset and duration of cocaine use in cocaine-dependent patients under treatment. iMStrong comprises three integrated components. The first are unobtrusive, wearable sensors that continuously record and wirelessly transmit physiologic measures (eg, increased electrodermal activity, skin temperature, and motion) of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) arousal. The second component is a smartphone that functions as a mobile computing device for data entry and storage. The third component is the iMStrong application ("app") on the smartphone. The app will interpret the transmitted physiology data, looking for periods of intense SNS arousal that are characteristic of cocaine use. We will test iMStrong's ability to recognize cocaine use episodes over a 30 day period among patients (N=40) entering treatment for cocaine dependence. The iMStrong app will validate the identity of the user using commercial facial recognition protocols. The app will also identify periods of increased SNS arousal and request that participants annotate temporally dynamic social, behavioral, and environmental contexts surrounding these events. Three times a week we will obtain a quantitative urinalysis for cocaine. On a weekly basis, study staff will interview participants using the timeline follow back method to evaluate drug use episodes. After completion of the study we will evaluate user experience with iMStrong using summative interviews of participants.
The specific aims are: 1) Technology deployment: To deploy and test a mobile technology for the remote identification of cocaine use episodes;and 2) Technology evaluation: To evaluate experience with the developed technology to understand the barriers and facilitators of technology utilization with a specific focus on detection of cocaine use as well as mechanisms of action that might underlie the quality of the patient-technology relationship. This study, which will obtain four different measures of cocaine use (real-time, continuous biophysical monitoring;annotations from mobile space;sequential urinalysis for cocaine metabolite;and self-report), is supported by preliminary data demonstrating our ability to detect cocaine use in natural environments. iMStrong will not only identify the onset and duration of episodes of cocaine use, it obtain formative information on temporal events surrounding relapse. iMStrong's collection of continuous data regarding the timing, location, contexts, and durations of cocaine use in individuals under treatment will advance drug abuse treatment research by providing a new capability to demonstrate efficacy of drug abuse interventions.
High rates of relapse beset treatment for cocaine dependence;therefore we will evaluate "iMStrong", a mobile system that detects cocaine-induced changes in physiology in cocaine- dependent patients under treatment. iMStrong, through its state-of-the-art sensing function, will identify the onset and duration of cocaine use episodes and obtain information on the events surrounding relapse. The enhanced technology developed in this study will provide a new means of assessing the effectiveness of drug abuse intervention treatments.

Quality Price Value
I downloaded my unmodified software and it worked just like my other setup first time.
The only request I would make is concerning the DS1307. This RTC chip has a square wave output on pin 7 which is not connected to anything on the IBoard Pro. It would be useful if this pin was connected to a jumper so that it can be used without having to solder directly to the chip.

I am currently evaluating the board and so far, the board is excellent and offers the functions of ethernet, SD card, RTC and ITDB02 interface for the price of a normal Arduino Mega.
I used a 3.2" TFT with the board and it worked right away.
I used a 8x32 LED Matrix (with TFT removed to free up the pins)

Welcome to my home schooling online resources for beginners.
Homeschooling is the type of education of children typically conducted
at home, either by their parents or their guardians instead of in
the public schools.
Before the commencement of the law known as the compulsory school
attendance laws, most of the children education remained within
the family or the community. There were only a small fraction of
students attending public schools.
Nowadays, most children in the developing country has been receiving
their formal education either in public or private schools.
I've always have the passion for supporting the education of our
children. Hence I've created this website as a one stop resource
centre for all parents who want to home school their childreen.
Below are some of the article highlights which might interest you.
Do come back for more updates
Pros And
Cons On Home Schooling - The advantages and disadvantages of
homeschooling should be carefully reviewed prior to making a decision
about how to school your children. Be sure that you know what your
options are. An informed choice is always best
Affordable High

it is for free. This is far from the case. Curriculum can be very
expensive if you are not careful. This is where you need to find
out about Affordable homeschooling online.

Concrete Volume 2: Heights by Paul Chadwick
Book DescriptionBig as a boulder and strong as an ox, he's Concrete, seven-feet plus of stony celebrity. That he's a government-created cyborg is the cover story, but in truth he's the mind of one Ronald Lithgow trapped inside a rocky shell of alien origin. Possessing of powers allowing him to scale the highest mountain unaided or peel back the roof of a car like a pull tab, he is yet denied the simple human pleasures of fragile flesh. The return of Paul Chadwick's award-winning "Concrete" has ushered in a resurgence of interest in the acclaimed series that Harlan Ellison called "...[P]robably the best comic being published today by anyone, anywhere."

Ingredients Instructions
Ingredients Instructions
We moved away from UT 3 years ago and Cafe Rio is the only place we miss. You guys have been life savers with these cafe rio recipes. Thank you. If I can ask one request. Do you have the recipe for the hot enchilada style sauce they cover the burritos with?
We live in Texas and loved Cafe Rio when we went to visit family in Utah. I LOVE your recipes and have been so happy that we can have our own "cafe rio" in our home. I really do love this site and use so many of your recipes. Thank you for sharing and taking the time to do this blog!
Hey, I came across your blog and love it. Thanks! I was wondering if you have a recipe for their chicken that they put in the enchaladas. My husband loves the pork, but I much prefer the chicken. I would love to know if you have one and if you could post it or email it to me. Thanks!
I got this recipe from a friend, so i am not sure where it came from, but This is a recipe we have used for Chicken and it is TRULY amazing!
Cafe Rio Chicken
1 small bottle Kraft Zesty Italian
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp cumin
3 garlic cloves, minced
5 lbs. chicken breast
put all ingredients in crockpot. Cook on low 4 hours. Shred chicken. Cook additional hour.
There are a couple of other Cafe Rio recipes you can find at: http://bestfoodontheplanet.blogspot.com/2008/09/cafe-rio-recipes.html The Tomatillo Dressing is great.
I have the pork in the crockpot but I was just thinking last minute do you by chance know or have an idea how to make the red hotter sauce they have??? My husband is picky and hates how the green looks and he loves things more spicy! Thanks!
I have the pork in the crockpot but I was just thinking last minute do you by chance know or have an idea how to make the red hotter sauce they have??? My husband is picky and hates how the green looks and he loves things more spicy! Thanks!
I haven;t made the hotter red sauce before. I don't know about you but the red sauce they have tastes pretty basic. I am sure you could get away just using a hot enchilada sauce from the store. I will try and figure out how they do it exactly next time I try it!
Love your Cafe Rio recipes! I have a question, though. Have you found an affordable place to buy the tins?
Yes! We get ours at the Dollar Tree!
For the can of diced chilies…is this diced green chilies or chile peppers? When I went to the store, there wasn't a can that said diced chilies. Sorry, it is probably a dumb question, but I'm serving this to 50 people, and I don't want to do it wrong!
@ Carl & Amber.. not a dumb question at all, I assure you! It is the diced green chilies.. you were right. Sorry I should have been more specific! I will change it now!
We love, love, love Cafe Rio when we lived in Utah and Vegas but now we are in Alaska and we miss it SO much!! Hey, if the Stanley family still owns it, have someone ask them to open one in Anchorage!!
Found your recipe on Pinterest. Made it for Sunday dinner tonight. It was fabulous and my husband and I thought it tasted exactly like Cafe Rio/Costa Vida. Thanks for sharing!
I can't wait to try out some of your recipes! I wanted to ask, is there any chance you know how to make the mild sauce as well?
I'm making this tonight for dinner! Soooo excited to have a taste of something we crave so desperately 🙂
Question about the sauce,
Is it ONE 7oz. Salsa Verde
17 oz. Salsa verde???
Just want it to be perfect 🙂
It is ONE 7 oz. can of Salsa verde. If more than 2 people are having burritos, you may want to double the recipe.
Good luck!
Oooooohhhh my Gooodness! It turned out AMAZING! They said it was just like they remembered 🙂 I am one happy camper knowing that we don't have to go cross country for a Cafe Rio fix!!!
Thank you soooo much!!!
Cafe Rio uses the medium green chile sauce for their rice (their rice is a green chile not a cilantro-lime rice). I have seen them make the rice, they take a fresh steamed batch of rice (may have been done with water or other stuff not sure) and they scoop several ladles of the green chile sauce right over the rice and toss it all together. So this recipe is great for both the sauce and the rice!
I miss Cafe Rio so much! I went to school at Southern Utah University and it was a treat to head down to St. George and get Cafe Rio! I have to try this! Thank you so much for posting this! BTW, the medium green sauce is my fav!!
I'm from Australia and love love love cafe rio but therecis nothing at all that even comes close to it!!!! So I'm going to try and re create it here with your recipes… It maybe a little hard though as we don't have all the same things though but I shall give it a crack!! I wil also be attempted alot of your recipes so thank you soooooo much for allowing me to experience some American food in Australia haha
Thanks for your recipe, Question though, i went to walmart yesterday to look for some ingredients but cannot find any. Do you have any suggestions where i get the died green chile can and salsa verde? thanks!
how do i do the sweet pork? it says click here but it wont allow me to do so… any tips would be greatly appreciated thank you 🙂
I made this recipe awhile back and it was GREAT! So I am trying to do it again but I can't get the other links to work (where it says click here). Specifically the beans and rice. Sorry but thank you in advance!
I wanna make this, but can click on the links where it says CLICK HERE….
sorry, meant to say CANT click on the links.
Thank you for this recipe. I made the burritos today and turned out fabulous. I do believe marinating the pork overnight made the difference. I have some picky eaters in my home and they ate their plates clean. Thanks again.
Did you figure out how to make the hot red sauce yet?
My husband LOVED this green sauce! The only other green sauce he likes is Betos but he was all over this! He said we should have it in our fridge at all times ha. He was even eating it with Fritos while I was making everything else ha. Do you know how long it will last in the fridge?
My green sauce is very liquidy. Im afraid that i would make the tortilla too wet and soggy? What can I do to thicken it?
Hello! The links aren't clickable in your recipe, so I'm unsure which bean and rice recipes you're suggesting for this meal. Could you post the links or names here? Thanks so much! This recipe has me drooling! 🙂 YUM.
Another one of your recipes on my list for this week – thank you, ladies! May I suggest a delicious and beautiful change-up? Up here, in the Detroit area, a lot of our Mexican places actually use thickly sliced Muenster cheese to top their wet or baked burritos.. I know, who'da thought? It melts beautifully and is chewy/creamy/mild. One manager I was talking to told me they cut off the orange rind – and not because its bad, but for looks.. I've done it at home w/o cutting off the orange because I don't care to lose that money, lol.. Thanks again.. I'm spending my entire weeks dinner budget on this site. It rocks! Are yall on facebook? Would be nice to get updates there instead of hunting back/forth. 🙂
How many burritos does this make?

Download Gods Of Egypt (2016) WEB-DL 1080p [1.7GB]
The film takes place in an alternative Egypt, where the world is flat and gods live among mortal humans. The Egyptian gods are distinguished from humans by their greater height, golden blood, and ability to transform into animal-headed deity forms.
Bek, a mortal thief with little faith in gods and their good will towards mortals, with his love Zaya are attending the coronation of Horus, lord of the air, by his father, the abdicating King of Egypt Osiris. However, during the ceremony Osiris is killed by his jealous brother Set, god of the desert, who seizes the throne and declares a new regime where the dead will have to pay with riches to pass into the afterlife. Horus duels Set in deity form, but is overpowered, and during the chaos, Bek is separated from Zaya. Set tears out Horus' eyes, which are the source of his power, and is prepared to kill him, but Horus' lover Hathor, the goddess of love, begs for his life.

Most car magazines are written by and for people who move their lips when they read. This is a little disconcerting for the thinking gearhead. Honest, intelligent opinions about cars and the auto industry can be hard to come by. But without Car & Driver magazine, finding such opinions might well be impossible.
The magazine celebrated its 50th year of publication during 2005 with a year-long flood of special content, peaking with a special 50th anniversary issue this July, along with a weekend-long party at (where else?) the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. But one part of that celebration is just now trickling out to customers: a high-quality coffee-table book published by Hachette Filipacchi, the magazine's current owners.
Written by former C/D staffer Martin Padgett, the book covers the magazine's history, from its roots as a regional racing-enthusiast publication, through its difficult first few years as a pro-import voice amid the golden age of big Detroit iron, lingering extensively during the muscle-car era of the late 1960s, then sort of rushing the reader through the magazine's most recent quarter-century. A number of the magazine's greatest articles and editorials are reproduced in whole or part, including the infamous "GTO vs. GTO" article of 1964, which established C/D's tone as an irreverent, iconoclastic voice for the thinking car geek. You can also read Brock Yates' account of the real "Cannonball Run," an actual coast-to-coast road race held on multiple occasions in the years prior to the Burt Reynolds/Dom DeLuise farce. An infamous multi-car comparison held in Baja California is also reprinted, along with lurid accounts of dead cows, morditas, and flooded Nissans. Long-time C/D staffer Patrick Bedard was the first automotive journalist to qualify for the Indy 500; his account of a horrific crash in the 1984 race is compelling reading for anybody who's ever dreamed of racing at Indy, and fortunately, it's in this book. Padgett even includes his own very funny account of a one-night stint in the Joie Chitwood Thrill Show as a "human battering ram."
What has always made C/D unique among car magazines has been its continual editorial policy of finding good writers and letting them write. The personalities of C/D's staffers always come through in their writing. This has had the effect of making C/D one of the better-written magazines on any subject, let alone cars. Padgett allows the reader to peek behind the curtain a bit at some of the larger-than-life personalities who have shaped the magazine, editors like David E. Davis Jr. (who would go on to found Automobile magazine), Brock Yates, Patrick Bedard, Don Sherman, and many others. For long-time fans of the magazine like myself, this is a real treat and I found myself greedily wanting more of it. But I suppose Padgett had an obligation not to drag down the book with too much "inside baseball" talk.
The book looks fantastic. The quality of photography and typography is simply stunning. Magazines aren't printed in such a way as to last forever; this book allows longtime C/D readers to really see some of the magazine's stunning photographs for the first time.
One quibble I have is that much–make that much–of the book's content is lifted more or less verbatim from the 50th anniversary issue of the magazine. Virtually all of Patrick Bedard's comments come from the several pieces he wrote for that issue, for example. There's really nothing wrong with using the magazine's own version of its history as a source, but for most C/D fans it represents a redundancy. And if this $50 (suggested list) book isn't for C/D fans, who is it for?
Nevertheless, radical C/D completists such as myself (I have every issue since December 1969) know they have to have this book. It probably isn't as good as it could have been. But it's still very, very good. Just like the magazine.Powered by Sidelines

Since Q1 2014, Russia has faced a political crisis and a sharp loss of market confidence, as a result of the annexation of Crimea, its continued involvement in the conflict in east Ukraine, and the ensuing response of Western nations in the form of sanctions against it. In H2 2014, sharply falling global oil prices adversely impacted Russian exports and government revenues, which was exacerbated by an equally sharp depreciation of the RUB. The economic fall-out has been severe. Since Q4 2015, the synchronised fall of oil prices and the RUB has intensified once again.
A preliminary estimate indicates real GDP declined by -3.7% in 2015. The strongest downturn came in gross capital formation (-18.3%), reflecting a -7.6% fall in fixed investment and a sharp drop in inventories which subtracted -3.3pps from full-year growth as companies sold off stocks in the wake of diminishing demand for their products. Private consumption plunged by -10.1% as households were hit by the sharp RUB depreciation, falling real wages and a reduction in working hours. Government consumption was down by -1.8%. Net exports mitigated the overall contraction of GDP somewhat, making a positive contribution of +6.7pps or so. However, this was the result of a collapse in real imports by -25.6% while real exports still grew by a modest +3.1%, thanks to the weakened RUB. The outlook for 2016 remains dismal against the backdrop of the renewed falls in oil prices and the RUB at the start of the year, though due to base effects annual GDP should decline at a more moderate pace. Euler Hermes projects a contraction by -0.9% in 2016. However, the possibility of very low global oil prices for longer poses a downside risk to this forecast.
The "perfect storm" of sanctions, capital flight and, in particular, falling oil prices has had a severe impact on the Russian currency. During 2014, the RUB fell by -72% against the USD (-51% against the EUR), despite heavy foreign exchange (FX) interventions by the Central Bank of Russia (CBR). In 2015, the RUB remained very volatile and, in the second half of the year, depreciated once again strongly, mainly due to the renewed slump in global oil prices, but also because the CBR discontinued large-scale FX interventions in order to halt the decline in its FX reserves, which indeed have stabilised at around USD320bn since mid-2015. At the end of 2015, the RUB was down by another -30% y/y against the USD (though unchanged y/y against the EUR). In early 2016, the RUB's downtrend continued before a moderate recovery began in mid-February, both in line with oil price movements. Euler Hermes expects the course of the RUB will continue to depend mainly on oil price developments. Changes on the economic sanction fronts and CBR actions will have only limited impact on the exchange rate. Under the assumptions that sanctions against Russia do not change substantially in 2016 and the average Brent oil price is USD38/barrel, the USD:RUB exchange rate is forecast to average at around 1:74 during the year. However, volatility will remain high.
The sharply weakened RUB will continue to have a severe impact on companies that have significant FX-denominated liabilities and will have difficulties to refinance maturing debt. Taken together with the effects of the deep recession, EH expects corporate insolvencies to rise by +7% in 2016 (+7% in 2015).
Owing to the RUB depreciation as well as increased food prices due to Russia's ban on certain food imports from the EU, inflation accelerated from 6.5% at end-2013 to a peak of 16.9% y/y in March 2015 and averaged 15.6% in 2015 as a whole. During 2014, the CBR had raised its key policy interest rate by a cumulative 1150bps to 17% and announced an inflation-targeting plan after the free floating of the RUB in November of that year. However, as the CBR's measures were not successful in containing depreciation and inflation, but probably also because of political pressure, it cut the policy rate to 11% in five steps from February to August 2015, shifting its focus to address concerns about the banking sector and economic growth. As inflation has fallen to 8.1% y/y in February 2016, mainly thanks to base effects, further moderate rate cuts are likely this year.
In late 2014 a RUB830bn bank capital support programme was launched, aimed at supporting large banks. It has helped to stabilise the banking system and – although profitability and capital will remain under pressure – the IMF believes that the programme is sufficiently large. A credit crunch has been avoided so far and non-performing loans have increased only slightly to 8% of total loans in 2015 from 6% in 2013. Russian authorities continue to have the resources to avoid a systemic crisis and we are not concerned at present about their resolve to provide support. However, smaller banks remain at risk of bankruptcy or losing their licence: the number of banks fell to 733 at end-2015 (923 at end-2013).
Russia's fiscal position remains robust. Public debt will remain low (forecast at 20% of GDP in 2016) even if the fiscal deficit could rise to -4% of GDP in 2016. Moreover, two Sovereign Wealth Funds worth about USD121bn (11.6% of GDP) will provide resources to finance the fiscal deficit and further anti-crisis measures in 2016.
The current account surplus increased from +3.1% of GDP in 2014 to about +5% in 2015, because the decline in imports (-35%) due to the RUB's collapse exceeded the drop in exports (-31%). However, the combined surplus of 2014-2015 was more than offset by net capital outflows of the private sector (USD153bn in 2014 and USD57bn in 2015). As a result, FX reserves dropped from USD470bn at end-2013 to a low of USD308bn in April 2015, though they have stabilised at around USD320bn thereafter. While current FX reserves are still comfortable in terms of import cover (13 months) or in relation to external debt falling due in the next 12 months (estimated at USD140bn), the future development needs to be monitored closely and is not fail safe.

Gig Alert: Freedman, Wilonsky and Grimes Bring Snark Off Blog, Into The Loft
Typically, us Observer peeps keep our ever-simmering hearts of hate hidden behind the gentle curtain of the written word. But, tonight, we are coming out from behind our mixed metaphor to make an exception for you, our readers, whosoever of you are foolish enough to get drunk and sing in front of us.
For we have been asked to judge you, and judge you we shall.
The good and fine and schadenfreudin' folks of Rock Star Karaoke--that thing where you get up and sing pop songs with a live band's backing--aligned the stars such that myself, music editor Pete Freedman and blog editor Robert "Bobsky" Wilonsky will be at The Loft this evening, drinks in hand, to decide which karaoke-er is the most deserving of a chance to advance to the Rock Star Karaoke July contest finals next week on the 28th.
Here's the deal: You can get to the Loft at 10 p.m. and sing regular karaoke, judgment-free, if you are a pansy-souled sniveling coward of the lowest order. Or you can check out RSK's available set list, sign up for the contest which starts at 11:15 p.m. like a grown-ass whatever-gendered-thing-you-identify-as, and get judged by us.
Your pick. Totally up to you. Whatever sounds good.

Little Black Books: London fashion designers
London Fashion Week's hottest designers reveal their favourite London locations
Twice a year, London Fashion Week draws around 5,000 industry insiders to the capital for a week of style exhibitionism. We asked the leading lights of the London Fashion Week schedule what they do when they're in town, from industry heavyweights like Matthew Williamson and Richard Nicoll, to talented newbies like Tim Soar and Camilla & Marc.
Lou Dalton
Unusually for a female designer, Shropshire born Dalton designs exclusively menswear. After training as a tailor at the age of 16, she went on to establish her own eponymous line which has a free-spirited, grungey feel with a tailoring sensibility.
Shop: Labour & Wait. It's all about nostalgia.
Café: St John Bread & Wine, not really a cafe but with it being a stone's throw away from the studio, it is a regular haunt.
Bar: 69 Colebrooke Row, mighty fine cocktails.
Favourite place to stay when in town: Chelsea Arts Club, though you do need to be a member.
What are you looking forward to seeing in 2012? David Hockney at the Royal Academy of Arts.
Secret London spot: Sir John Soane's Museum.
Hairdresser: Vision, east London. AB (the owner) has been working his magic on my fine locks for way over a decade.
Market: Sunbury Antiques Market or Covent Garden flower market.
Treat: Afternoon tea at The Wolseley.

Social Wine Discovery
Wine Blogger
August 15, 2007
Gorgeous dark purple color to this wine, the definition of "inky". Rich but tight nose, right after opening the bottle. It slowly opens and develops into almond, pepper, and a breadiness. With time it allows fresh raspberry, brambles, and cherry to come forward. Pure and silky in the mouth with good acidity and fine tannins.Cherry and anise are the first flavors out of the glass followed in time by pepper, cinnamon, clove and other dark fruits. Really need to drink this over the course of a night to fully understand it.

ModuleWorks switching to Visual Studio 2013
We have recently switched our main development environment to Visual Studio 2013 because we are seeing a continuous shift to this platform among our partners.
As part of the continuous regression testing process, we have identified changes in the behavior of the standard trigonometric functions. We see different results not only across different compilers, but even across different CPUs. CPUs that support the AVX2 advanced vector extensions give slightly different results when using the sine, cosine or tangent functions inside Visual Studio 2013.
To solve these issues, we have created our own implementation of these functions and we now see consistent behavior across different compilers and hardware platforms. Although differing slightly from standard implementations, we believe these new functions will result in more stable and reliable calculations from now on and for the foreseeable future.
We have included these functions in our API to make them available to our partners, in case they would like to re-use our implementation and not have to worry about re-inventing the wheel.
ModuleWorks is a software component provider for the CAD/CAM industry. ModuleWorks' expertise in 5-Axis simultaneous machining and Simulation is recognised throughout the CAM industry and its software components and development services are used by the majority of the leading CAM vendors. ModuleWorks 5-Axis and Simulation software has been used in the manufacture of complex parts for over a decade and they have many 1000's of users in the global CAD/CAM industry.

ModuleWorks at LIGNA 2015
We have recently returned to work after a busy week at LIGNA, the trade show for the woodworking industry, held at the Hanover Fairground in Hanover, Germany. The biggest woodworking trade show in Europe runs for 5 days and takes place every other year.
More than 1500 exhibitors took part, showing their latest technology to more than 96,000 attendees on over 120,000 square meters of floor space. Integration and high efficiency were the watch words of the show.
The ModuleWorks booth was located in Hall 14 and well attended over the course of the show, keeping our team very busy. Many of our partners stopped by to talk through our latest developments for the woodworking industry and show how they were using ModuleWorks technology to make their customers more effective. We were also pleased to meet many new prospects who are looking to expand their software products for woodworking.
We took some time out to visit the machine tools hall and see the latest developments. From our look around it appears the established machine tool companies are increasingly developing high technology processing products for the automotive, facade, yacht building and aerospace industries.
Jens Beissel, Marketing Manager for ModuleWorks, talked about the show, "It was a very busy week for all of us, but a very enjoyable one. It was good to meet so many of partners in the woodworking industry who are reaping the benefits of our technology with new and expanded software products for woodworking. It was clear the industry is on an upswing driven by the uptake of new manufacturing technology".
Until the next time

Students experiment with ModuleWorks and Virtual Reality
Through our 3rd semester MATSE (Mathematical-Technical Software Developer) student, Kilian Henneberger, we were delighted to get involved with an interesting project at our local university, FH Aachen. We have close links with the university and a number of the ModuleWorks team have studied there so we're always pleased to help out with student projects.
For this assignment, students have to work with a company on a software engineering project to apply their learning to a real world application. The chosen project was an innovative idea and a lot fun (almost too much fun to count as study).
Our student Kilian combined ModuleWorks Simulation with a newly developed Virtual Reality (VR) headset, the Oculus Rift, developed by Oculus VR LLC. The headset is wired with sensors that track head movement and a software application can use the eye movement as an input into the program via a C++ interface, usually a gaming environment. The project was titled "Machine Simulation with an Oculus Rift"
By interfacing the VR headset to our Machine Simulation application, the user is able to view the simulation of a CNC Milling machine from all sides, getting easy visual access to the entire machining process. In this virtual world the user can spot errors much more precisely than on a 2D screen, particularly potentially expensive collisions between the machine, cutting tool and/or stock well ahead of trying it out in the real world.
The results from the project were shown on a Software Engineering show at RWTH Aachen University on 12 March 2015. We were suitably impressed at all of projects on show and had the chance to meet many talented student engineers in what was a rewarding experience for everyone involved.
Until the next time

The American Canoe Association (ACA) Instructor Training Courses are designed to provide experienced paddlers with the tools needed to share their skills with others. ACA Certification is a two-part process: the Instructor Development Workshop (IDW) is an interactive learning/teaching exercise and the Instructor Certification Exam (ICE) is the formal evaluation of skills.
The IDW focuses on modeling effective instruction of the skills, knowledge, and techniques necessary for successful completion of the ICE (which is primarily an evaluation process). In other words, this first portion is designed to "teach you how to teach stand-up paddling" and the second portion will test you on your ability to do so. Each candidate will be assigned basic teaching topics and instruction methods. The instructor trainer will then critique candidates on his or her presentation skills, general knowledge, and stand up paddling ability.
Certification is based upon both paddling and teaching skills and is not guaranteed. The instructor trainer (IT) makes the final determination of whether a candidate may be certified, and if so, at which level: Intro to SUP, Essentials of SUP, or River SUP.
Sunday, April 14 – Wednesday, April 17 (4 days)
Class will start at 8:00 AM on all four days.
We will be meeting at our Rockville, MD store on Sunday. Meeting location for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to be determined.
Beginner SUP Lesson Package or Equivalent River SUP Experience. All registrants must join the ACA before the course and purchase an ACA Instructor Manual.

This cozy and elegant home within walking distance from the courthouse square has all the amenities for a luxurious getaway. Indoor and outdoor comfort boasting a furnished deck overlooking private landscaped yard with mountain views and privacy of more than a half acre of land. Don't miss out on this lovely three bedroom Prescott home located in the historic district nestled in the tall ponderosa pines for a true woodland vacation experience.
The home, located in a quiet neighborhood, is just a few minutes walk from the downtown Prescott area! There are two outdoor barbecues, one built of stone for charcoal and one free standing propane gas. The large deck off the back of the living room offers both shade and sun for outdoor gatherings and outdoor dining.
In addition to the deck the are 2 large flagstone patios: the side patio outside the kitchen includes the outdoor cooking area of the property and antique glass wrought iron table for dining. The other flagstone patio is off the front of the home has a seating/dining area for four with views to the north and Granite Mountain. There is a covered car port for parking adjacent to the kitchen entrance and a large parking are on the lower portion of the property.
The interior is elegantly decorated with three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The kitchen is functional and newly remodeled with all the dishes needed for everyday cooking or for a gathering. The home is two stories and the master with a queen bed and HD TV, a second bedroom with a trundle bed that opens to two twin beds, and a full bath with shower are located on the main floor. The kitchen, dining area for six, living room with fireplace and HD-TV, access to the outdoor deck with seating and dining area, are also on the main floor.
On the lower level there is a second queen bedroom with HD TV, bath with shower, private seating area with a fold out couch sleeping one, and office furniture to set-up a computer. There is a private entry with a large parking area on the lower floor for easy access.
On the lower end of the property there is a quaint bunkhouse which sleeps two for extra guests or play area/bunk-beds for older kids. Electricity is available on request. The large yard offers plenty of space for children to safely play and enjoy the outdoors.
Don't miss out on the perfect location in a beautiful cottage nestled among the pines trees for your next visit to Prescott!
This is a very nice and cozy place. Location is quiet and beautiful, yet within walking distance from downtown. The house is very well equipped ie cooking for 6 people in the kitchen was very easy. The owner is responsive. It is nice to have a place where one can take the dog, of course with some restrictions.
This was my first VRBO experience, and it did not disappoint! This property provided the exact experience I was looking for! I rented this house for a weekend to celebrate a friends bachelorette getaway, for a total of 7 girls. The house sleeps 6 in beds, but we made do. Upon arrival, Kathleen met me there, and gave me a tour of the property, which is adorable from the outside and beautiful on the inside. She provided great customer service, easy to get a hold of. Perfect balance of property owner, and host. She doesn't live too far from the property, so would have been available at any time if we needed her to be.
The Prescott area is so great, and this location made it so easy to explore - 2 minute drive to downtown/whiskey row ($4 cab ride). Grocery store was a 5 minute drive, and Walmart was less than 10 minutes. We also spent an afternoon at the Granite Creek Vineyard, which was 40 minutes away, but totally worth it. The property was so comfortable that when we weren't out on our adventures, you could lounge inside, or on one of the two gorgeous decks outside. We even had a deer visit our yard in the afternoon and relax while we sat on the deck.
I wish we could have stayed longer, I would recommend this place to families and small groups! It is a 2-level house, where the main level is on top. The stairs to get down to the lower level (3rd bedroom + Bathroom) were pretty steep, just took time to get used to. Everything else was as advertised! Just loved this trip!
We planned a last minute trip to Prescott and decided to use VRBO. We were lucky enough to come across this property and able to book at the last minute. Kathleen was in touch with me right away and very pleasant to work with. She greeted us at the property and was very friendly and ready to show us around. The house was clean and welcoming. It was just as described in the listing. It was close to town yet far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. We had a wonderful time and will be back to enjoy Prescott again.
We enjoyed the property immensely. We were allowed to bring our dogs, which why is we chose this property. Everything was great. We had to leave a week early due to business at home, and after notifying the owner of our early checkout, a few days later I received a text message as follows: "thank u so much for leaving the house so clean. Way more than we ask for and very thoughtful. We have requested the release of your deposit." Now, a full week later, I received a notice from VRBO that $0.00 was refunded due to dog urine on tile that now has to be replaced. There was no dog urine left anywhere in the house, because the dogs didn't have any accidents in the house. Even if there had been dog urine on tile, I fail to understand how it could ruin tile? I am very disappointed that my damage deposit was handled this way. I would not trust these people again. I have no way of knowing who came in before or after we did, with pets that may have done something that I am being blamed for.
The house is a real charmer, full of character and surrounded by beautiful grounds. The back deck is super inviting and the neighborhood is lovely. The house is conveniently located to get wherever we wanted to go in Prescott, including walking distance to downtown square. We loved our brief two-night stay here.
The only problem -- and it was a significant one, while it lasted -- was that the property manager failed to send us check-in/access instructions until it was almost too late, despite our repeated attempts to contact her. Reaching her was very difficult, leaving our travel plans up in the air; we thought we were going to have to cancel the trip, ask for our money back, etc. Finally, on the afternoon before the morning we were to drive to Prescott, we did finally hear back from her. She was very apologetic and provided all the info we needed to access the property. She, and the home's owner (whom we met upon check-in) are super nice, so it pains me to have to deduct the one star, but I can't ignore how hard it was to obtain those access instructions (nor our resulting anxiety in the days before our trip).
We were SO impressed with this rental! Wonderful, comfortable beds, all the amenities, and the property itself feels a world away from everything. Sitting out on the deck surrounded by the huge trees was my favorite. Highly recommend this property to anyone!
