Will My Homeowner's Policy Cover My Jewelry?
Most homeowners policies limit coverage for personal valuables, and you could fall far short of replacement value if your item is lost or stolen. You need to add a low-cost insurance rider to protect jewelry and other valuables.
Homeowners insurance generally covers your possessions up to 50% of your total coverage. So if you have a $300,000 policy, your home furnishings and equipment are insured for as much as $150,000.
But most policies also place limits on specific kinds of items — promising to pay a maximum of, say, $1,500 to $2,500 for all of your jewelry in the event of damage or theft. Other categories that usually have reimbursement limits include silver flatware, firearms, coins, stamps and furs. (Read the "contents and additional coverage" section of your policy for the details.) Accidental loss is generally not covered if the item is not scheduled.
To raise your coverage limit and ensure that you're protected in case of loss as well as theft you will need to ad a rider or "schedule" the item. (You may need a written appraisal, although a detailed receipt may suffice.) Once you set a value and schedule the item, you're covered for the full amount if it is lost, stolen or destroyed. Scheduling your jewelry, collectibles and fine art will make the claims experience a lot easier. Plus, there's no deductible for scheduled items. So if you loose your engagement ring without having it "scheduled", you're out of luck.
Extra coverage is inexpensive. Averages are around 85 cents per $100 of coverage for jewelry kept at home and 35 cents per $100 for items kept in a vault. (Actual prices vary by company and geographical location.) Revisit your coverage levels frequently. We recommend that if you do schedule items on your policy, that you periodically get them reappraised to ensure a proper and up to date value. Plus, scheduled items such as jewelry can be checked for loose settings, etc. at the time the item is reappraised.

Glaukos iStent Glaucoma Program at Vance Thompson Vision
Glaukos iStent Top Line
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) procedures are creating new options for patients with mild to moderate glaucoma. These procedures have a higher safety profile with fewer complications and a more rapid recovery time than other invasive techniques. They have been shown to be effective in decreasing IOP as well as a patient's need for medications, which is important given a typically low compliance rate for medication adherence. The Glaukos iStent was FDA approved in 2012 in conjunction with cataract surgery and is the smallest medical device known to be implanted in the human body. It was created to serve as a bypass through the trabecular meshwork to allow physiological outflow and lower IOP. The iStent can be used in conjunction with cataract surgery or stand alone, although deemed off-label, for patients with mild to moderate glaucoma.
What is the Procedure?
The iStent Trabecular Micro-Bypass Stent (Glaukos, Laguna Hills, CA) received FDA approval in 2012. The device is a heparin-coated, non-ferromagnetic titanium stent with a snorkel shape to facilitate implantation. The device is placed using a single-use, sterile inserter through a 1.5mm corneal incision. The applicator is inserted into the anterior chamber and across the nasal angle. The pointed tip allows penetration of the trabecular meshwork and insertion into Schlemm's canal and three retention arches ensure that the device will be held in place. The iStent itself is the smallest FDA approved device, measuring at 0.3mm in height and 1mm in length. iStent implantation at the same time as cataract surgery has a greater safety profile compared to traditional filtration surgeries in combination with cataract surgery. Patients that undergo traditional filtration surgeries are at risk for complications, such as bleb leaks, bleb infections, or hypotony, which, are not a concern for patients implanted with the iStent.
When and Why Do It?
Indications and Candidacy
In patients with mild-moderate glaucoma with an IOP that has been unable to be controlled by medications or who have poor medication compliance, a Glaukos iStent appears to be a viable option. Clinical trials have shown there to be a significant decrease in IOP over periods of up to 24 months along with a significant decrease in medication usage. The procedure has maintained a high safety profile with minimal adverse effects. The Glaukos iStent can provide a method of treatment for glaucoma patients that decreases reliance on medications without the safety risks of more invasive procedures. Patients that are candidates are: - Patients with mild-moderate glaucoma, primary open-angle glaucoma, pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, or pigmentary dispersion glaucoma - Glaucoma is uncontrolled with maximum pharmacologic treatment or there are barriers preventing adequate medication dosing - Age greater than 18 - Patients with clinically significant cataract, as surgery may be performed simultaneously. All patients should have a pre-op comprehensive eye exam including gonioscopy and a detailed medical history. Contraindications: Relative contraindications for this procedure may include angle-closure glaucoma, secondary glaucoma, advanced glaucoma, previous glaucoma surgery, or severely uncontrolled IOP.
How is the Procedure Done?
Cataract extraction and IOL implantation occur first. The head is properly positioned to perform an adequate view of the angle anatomy with a gonio lens. A corneal incision is made and the anterior chamber is filled with viscoelastic. The iStent inserter is advanced across the anterior chamber and, with the magnified view of a gonioprism, the iStent is then implanted through the trabecular meshwork and secured into Schlemm's canal. There is typically an egress of heme from Schlemm's canal, indicating proper placement. At the end of the surgery, the corneal wounds are hydrated for a watertight seal as would be performed in cataract surgery alone; typically, no sutures are necessary.CLICK HERE the watch a video of the iStent procedure.
Post-Op Care
Cataract extraction plus iStent
Drop-A-Day Approach: Dex-Mox-Ketor injection at conclusion of the cataract plus iStent procedure. The patient takes Ilevro, Prolensa or Bromsite one time a day for one month.
Standard Approach: Vigamox four times a day for one week, prednisolone acetate 1% four times a day for one week then two times a day for three weeks, Ilevro, Prolensa or Bromsite one time a day for four weeks.
iStent in a Pseudophakic Eye
Vigamox four times a day for one week, Ilevro, Prolensa or Bromsiteone time a day for four weeks.
Post-op follow-up care is one day, one week, one month, and three months. The addition or subtraction of patient's glaucoma medications is done on a case by case basis. The severity of the glaucoma present and the level of IOP is considered when adding or subtracting glaucoma medications.
Placing a foreign object into the eye does introduce the potential risk of intraoperative complications, e.g., if the device is malpositioned and the tip becomes occluded by iris or if the device becomes dislodged. Postoperatively, there can be IOP spikes and hyphema. Also, because it is a fairly new procedure, it is considered experimental and not currently covered by many commercial insurances, although it does have excellent Medicare coverage. Preoperatively, candidates require a full glaucoma and cataract work up with ancillary testing (pachymetry, visual field, RNFL analysis, K readings, axial length, etc.). Blood thinners should be stopped preoperatively if possible. Post-op care is the same as traditional cataract surgery. Patients should be informed that their vision may be blurred for the first few days due to the mild bleeding during the surgery.

Congratulations to the 62 finalists who emerged from 11 markets across the Asian region.
Table of finalists
This is the 5th Asia Trusted Life Agents & Advisers Awards. Over the past editions, we have been enlightened by the rich and dynamic role that agents and advisers play in being the face of life insurance to the buying public. What is most heartening is that to many of these agents and advisers, it is so much more than just a job. Many of them do a great deal of social work and charity beyond the call of their duty. This is what we really want to salute. They are still very much the unsung heroes of the industry.
The second group of people we want to salute is the insurance executive and managers from insurance companies who do so much behind the scenes to help these agents excel. What they do in caring and nurturing the agents and advisers is truly remarkable, too.
So, for now, we are all set to spot the stars of the industry for 2020 in a world which is still very high-touch despite being so high-tech. We are looking for those stars who help to spread trust in the insurance industry in their everyday chores and routine.
The last four years, we have saluted some 45 winners from 21 companies and 11 markets, and we can see what rich pageantry this is. We have also through AAN – Asia Advisers Network – reached out to professionals like you online with over 16,000 followers on Facebook alone.
With co-organiser LIMRA and Founding Patron, Mr Mark Tucker, Group Chairman, HSBC, and a distinguished panel of judges drawn from the various leading insurance companies, associations, and training institutes, we are very proud to launch this 5th ATLAA. It stands out as a truly professional Awards given its defined criteria and transparent judging process that is independently audited by EY.
We remain committed to the search for excellence as our CSR for the industry which we so love and honour. We see the professionalism in the industry only rising. So all is good as they say.
Keep the entries coming. Remember there is no fee to enter the awards and self-nominations are most welcome. All it takes is believing in yourself and standing tall to be counted for the industry. We want to see the best win, always.
Dare yourself to shine.
LIMRA is honoured to co-organise the 5th Asia Trusted Life Agents & Advisers Awards 2020, which recognises accomplished agents and advisers, and their commitment to serving their customers. The world continues to change at an incredibly fast pace, and our industry must keep up with this pace to remain relevant to our customers.
Agents have to continuously evolve and think of new and unique ways to engage their customers.
With Asia's rapidly ageing population and widening retirement savings gap, there has never been a greater need for financial advice. Understanding the best approaches to connect, communicate, and educate customers is critical to success.
LIMRA is a research-led organisation, offering actionable, credible insight into insurance and retirement trends. We focus on research and training programs that help you and your companies develop successful strategies to address industry challenges, fulfilling our common mission to protect families' financial security throughout their lives.
It is important to recognise the people that are working with customers every day to achieve financial security. I encourage you to nominate an agent or adviser who represents the best and brightest of our industry.
As Founding Patron of the Asia Trusted Life Agents & Advisers Awards, I am delighted to see the Awards continue to go from strength to strength.
The long term success of the life insurance business depends on marrying the best customer service with the best new technologies. These awards demonstrate how agents and advisers are already doing so to great effect, and show why they are so critical to the future of the industry.
For many customers, agents and advisers are the human face of life insurance, with the ability to build trusted relationships with customers, understand their needs and recommend the right products and services to meet them.
As life insurance becomes increasingly linked to wellbeing, they play a significant role in helping people to live healthier lives.
In addition, by embracing digital technologies, advisers and agents can increase coverage, offer new products and services and help to close the protection gap.
The accelerating pace of change creates an opportunity to innovate, invest and partner with others, to make insurance more accessible and engage with a wider range of consumers, especially younger people. Agents and advisers have a key role to play in making the most of that opportunity.
I would like to thank Asia Insurance Review and Asia Advisers Network for helping us to celebrate the best of agency and advisory, and the enormously valuable contribution that they make to the industry and to the communities in which we work and live.

Source: Trudeau's Cabinet Has Diversity, But Conservative White Men Will Keep the Purse Strings | Common Dreams | Breaking News & Views for the Progressive Community
An excerpt from the above linked-to article by Dru Oja Jay follows:
…which leads to me to the fact that the two most important positions, Treasury Board and Finance — the folks that control what can get funded, when and with how much — are a former Tory and a Bay Street boys clubber, respectively.
Scott Brison and Bill Morneau are decidedly status quo choices, continuing the tradition that saw Obama bring in Timothy Geithner and Jean Chretien appoint Paul Martin as finance minister. We all remember how well those appointments went, right?
Finance Minister Bill Morneau went to the University of Western Ontario and the London School of Economics. He is the multi-millionaire founder of a company that provides "human resources services" and manages pension funds for companies and government agencies. (According to SEC filings, his net worth is north of $26 million; his annual salary before he left to run for the Liberals was $1 million.)
From 2010 to 2014, Morneau served as Chair of the C.D. Howe Institute, a nonpartisan, economically conservative think tank that credits itself with having an impact promoting continental "free trade," lower corporate tax rates, and reducing inflation. As Finance Minister, we can expect him to wield nearly as much power as the Prime Minister — perhaps more…
There's a lot of talk about what kind of message this diverse cabinet sends to Canadians about new eras and new ways of doing things.
There's another message that is unspoken, but can also be heard quite clearly: talented young MPs, women and people of colour can be the face of a new Canadian government, but conservative white men will hold onto the purse strings, thank you very much.
My online response to the above linked-to article follows:
In this one area alone, namely the appointment of Bill Morneau as finance minister, Trudeau has put his name in stone on a monument to the success of anti-people and anti-livable earth and pro inequality neoliberalism. Bill Morneau (http://bit.ly/1PcwTVv) is the former Chairman of the C.D. Howe Institute. It's bad enough that these anti-democratic rightwing think tanks have, through corporate owned media and Canada's zombie Liberal class, poisoned the minds of Canadians. But here, residents of Cabbage Town in Toronto (Toronto Center) have, to a great extent, elected the bloody C.D. Howe! Way to go fellow Canadians!
From Donald Gutstein's "Harperism," the following:
"The combined firepower of neo-liberalism think tanks over forty years has reshaped the Canadian climate of ideas to such an extent that it will take years – perhaps decades – for those views to change again. On top of these ideological underpinnings, [Stephen] Harper has fundamentally modified the relationship between state and society. The theme is simple: we must remove obstacles to the attainment of a state governed not by duly elected officials but by market transactions, because economic freedom is more fundamental than political freedom." -pg 16
Translation: The prosperity of the 1% ('economic freedom') is all that matters. And, taking into account the heavy influence of neoconservatism in Canada's Conservative and Liberal Parties, that economic freedom 'should' come at the expense of the 99%. Class warfare is a positive. It makes the 'warriors', who are doing fine, feel alive. The paradigm is 'riches for the strongest', a contradiction in terms if we accept that we were not meant to live like dogs eating dogs, with winners and losers.
Continuing with Gutstein's book…
"In 2006, a new foundation began funding neo-liberal infrastructure after Donner cut back its direct support. Peter Munk, who made a fortune as head of Barrick Gold, created the Aurea ("golden," in Latin) Foundation. The foundation grabbed public attention as sponsor of the Munk Debates, which pits high profile liberals against conservatives to debate controversial topics such as: "I would rather get sick in the United States than Canada," "Climate change is mankind's defining crisis and demands a commensurate response," and "Foreign aid does more harm than good." The debates serve two purposes. They elevate conservative positions to parity with long-standing liberal viewpoints, crowding out progressive ones. They also mask the foundation's more financially significant activities: doling out nearly two million dollars a year to Canadian neo-liberal organizations. Major recipients (20017-2012) include… the C.D. Howe Institute ($644,000)…" -pages 63 & 64
There can be no more powerful rightwing think tank in Canada than the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, who former Liberal prime minister Jean Chretien [when finance minister under Pierre Trudeau] was proud to tell everyone "I never prepare a budget without seeking out the opinions of the Business Council on National Issues." Recall how Paul Martin was shilling for Trudeau in the recent election. The corporate owned press marvelled at how ironic it was that deficit fighter Paul was helping to sell deficit spender Justin. Even the (fake) Left kept (and keeps) yammering about how the Liberals outflanked the NDP by pledging to do deficit spending, completely ignoring the fact that, as Emma Lui with the Council of Canadians (suddenly silent on this subject, like Duncan Cameron, who also raised the alarm) pointed out, Trudeau plans to utilize Harper's P3 fund to do his deficit spending, something that rightwingers like Paul Martin would actually have no problem with, since P3s are essentially privatization by stealth.
Here's what Maude Barlow and Bruce Campbell have to say about Paul Martin and the BCNI (now Canadian Council of Chief Executives), on page [134] of "Straight Through The Heart – How The Liberals Abandoned The Just Society And What Canadians Can Do About It":
Who wins in the total transformation of these Liberals? The business community, which has shown its appreciation to the Liberal Party (to "Welcome [it] back from the wilderness," as Tom d'Aquino explains). At a recent Vancouver dinner featuring [Paul] Martin, businessmen showed their support of his budget by raising $85,000 (after expenses) for the party."
From Tony Clarke's "Silent Coup – Confronting The Big Business Takeover Of Canada," pages 15 & 16, the following:
In Canada, the economic think tanks and advisory bodies provided the starting place for the infiltration of [Milton] Friedman's theories in government bureaucracies. When the NDP under Dave Barret came to power in British Columbia, a small group of powerful B.C. corporate executives led by Pat Doyle of MacMillan Bloedel met in 1975 and discussed the formation of a propaganda think-tank to combat the "socialists." As author Murray Dobbin explains, they brought in Michael Walker, a Newfoundlander working for the Bank of Canada, who told his backers: "If you really want to change the world, you have to change the ideological fabric of the world."
Walker went on from there to establish the Fraser Institute, an agency explictly based on the free market theories of Milton Friedman. Focusing on the promotion of market values and cultural change, Walker and his associates at the Fraser developed a multi-faceted program that included writing anti-government and free market articles for weekly newspapers, engaging university students in discussions about free market philosophy, and distributing free market studies to legislators across the country.
However, it was the adoption of Friedmanite theories by established mainstream economic advisory bodies like the C.D. Howe Institute and the Economic Council of Canada that began to turn heads in the Ottawa bureaucracy, as well as several of the provincial capitals. During this period, the president of the C.D. Howe Institute, Carl Beigie, emerged as one of the country's chief economic gurus in the fight against increased government intervention in the economy. On almost a daily basis, Beigie made pronouncements in the business press, warning against rising budget deficits and the threats of increasing protectionism, and calling for free trade with the United States and a new role for government.
In effect, the C.D. Howe Institute became the staging ground for the resurgence of free market theories in official circles within Canada. To be sure, the Fraser Institute was known to be Canada's No. 1 cheerleader for Friedmanite doctrines. But it was the Howe Institute, which had become recognized as Canada's most prestigious economic think-tank under Beigie's direction, that paved the way for legitimizing Friedman's market theories in government circles and the mainstream press. Later, it would come as no surprise to discover that both the Howe and the Fraser Institutes were heavily funded by some of Canada's major corporations and banks."
Tony, in his above book, refers to the BCNI as a shadow cabinet. Indeed, It might be in that book (I'd have to closely check) or some other book or article I read many years ago, but I recall how researchers found that the papers (these orgs are hardcore pro active and have papers on everything, ready to present to legislators as 'suggestions') put out by the BCNI, as proposals or advice, ended up being adopted almost verbatim by the government. That's bad enough. Today, members of the rightwing think tanks must be laughing their butts off and clanking wine glasses together at their good luck. We now just elect them, pretty much.
One more point. Just as it was never true that Stephen Harper was an economist or had a clue how to contribute to a healthy economy (from the standpoint of regular people), so too these think tanks aren't primarily about the elevation of the economy over all else. (Harper 'studied' economics. Anyone, sane [http://bit.ly/1UwF5zL] or insane, can.) Talking about the importance of the economy, without qualification, is just their language but it's also language that they must employ to hide the reality of their embrace of inequality. But, like Stephen Harper, it's more accurate to say that they are all about elevating their 'riches for the strongest' paradigm above all else. (Individually, Leaders like Harper and Tony Blair and Bill Clinton, and most of them now, are simply in it for the power, the glory and the riches, in whatever proportion each prefers. To be a player with power, you please other players with power. That's the game and the people, some who foolishly think they should play it too, pay dearly for their 'leaders' to play.) They've all been (or 'chose' to be) fervent believers in neoliberalism, which, as Donald Gutstein and others note, entrenches inequality. In other words, there 'has to be losers'. There can't be an economy that works for all. When neoliberals blather about the economy, while promoting free trade agreements that transfer political power to unaccountable corporations, killing the voice of the people (through neutered, in relation to democratic power, political representation; the democratic deficit), you know that what's in the works isn't good for the people. That's why capitalists want to preempt people's pushback against exploitation with things like free trade deals. Together with propaganda, and the apathy of the people (now extreme), induced by an element of propaganda called consumerism (capitalism is the true religion; Show your devotion by spending and if you don't have money to spend, then work more), the business community, not a nice bunch, can't lose.

Sensitive plant has been used for millennia to nourish the physical nerves, according to Ayurveda. This Sensitive Plant Transdermal Cream allows you to use sensitive plant even if your digestion or metabolism is weak.
Normally, herbs taken internally must be digested and metabolized before the body can use them, just like food. This cream does not contain the physical herb, but only its essence which does not require digestion.
The subtlest essence of sensitive plant (sukshma bhag) and its healing vibrational properties (prabhavas) are captured in this cream, and can be easily absorbed through the skin. From the skin they travel to the nerves and provide the needed nourishment.
According to Ayurveda, a common cause of nerve problems is too much amavisha (reactive toxins) in the body. And for the toxins to have reached the deep nerve tissues, they usually have been accumulating in the body for a long time.
The liver tries to filter out the toxins before they permeate into the nerve tissue and other areas of the body. But if toxins have been accumulating for a long time, they eventually spill over into the other tissues.
If there is significant toxicity in tissues like nerves, it is quite probable that the liver may be full of toxins, and the liver metabolism may be very weak. Likewise, digestion is commonly weak when there is high toxicity in the body.
Without good digestion and a healthy liver, taking sensitive plant, or other herbs will be of little use. The body will simply make ama (partially digested material) of the herb. Also, the special healing properties (prabhavas) can easily be destroyed by the high toxicity of the liver.
It is for cases like this, which are quite common in the modern world, that Vaidya Mishra created this transdermal cream. By delivering the prabhavas (special healing properties) of sensitive plant directly to the nerve tissues through the skin, it is possible to essentially bypass the liver and digestive systems completely and start healing right away.
Another advantage of Sensitive Plant Transdermal Cream is that it can be applied to specific areas of the skin to target specific nerves. By using Vaidya Mishra's Transdermal Marma System, it is possible to deliver the healing properties of sensitive plant to very targeted areas.
There is a disease described in the ancient Ayurvedic texts called raktapitta. This disease is characterized by hemorrhaging all over the body due to high pitta and amavisha (reactive toxins) in the blood.
Sensitive plant is one of the herbs used to treat this problem. It's cooling (sheetala) nature helps to pacify the highly reactive toxins in the blood.
Sensitive plant is also said to be helpful in the case of certain female disorders due to lack of estrogen, due to aging, or due to lack of sufficient bone marrow (majja dhatu).
Sensitive plant strengthens and nourishes majja dhatu. In this way, it can help female disorders such as muscular atrophy of the vaginal wall, which are sometimes caused by low majja dhatu, according to Ayurveda.
You can learn more about this valuable Ayurvedic plant in a 9 minute downloadable MP3 audio file. In this lecture, Vaidya Mishra goes over the verses of Bhava Prakash regarding sensitive plant word by word from the original Sanskrit.
You will learn several other uses and properties of sensitive plant in this information-packed lecture: Sensitive Plant - Learn About A Great Herb To Nourish The Nerves
"Total Sensitive Plant" (Vaidya Mishra's proprietary blend), Grapefruit, Lavender and Sweet Orange in a base of organic Shea Butter with Vegetable Glycerine, Bee's wax and Jojoba oil
2 oz.
Take a small amount of the cream on the end of a small spoon (try to avoid putting your fingers in the container). Apply as indicated by your Shaka Vansya Ayurveda practitioner. Leave the cream on the skin for at least a half hour or for many hours of steady transdermal absorption, such as before sleep. Rub into the skin when done, or shower to remove.
Use under the guidance of a Shaka Vansya Ayurveda practitioner. As with all herbs, please consult your physician before using.
Cream may cause oil spots on clothing.

This amazing product has exceeded all my expectations! I have three fingers on my right hand that have limited feeling, mostly tingling. This product was recommended to me by a expert at the Bodhi Ayurveda Wellness Spa in Mequon Wisconsin. I rub it on and my fingers feel like they use to! I would have given 5 stars but I am holding out to see if I use this product every day and get my feeling back for good. She knew exactly what I needed and I am eternally grateful!

Sunday Gospel reflections: Love — Are we up to the challenge?
Fifth Sunday of Easter (Year C)
In Jerusalem, Jews are forbidden to walk on parts of Temple Mount in order to prevent possible desecration of the Holy of Holies, the place where, in the Temple of Solomon, the tablets of the Ten Commandments given to Moses were kept. So holy were those tablets received from the hand of God that only the high priest could see them, and then only once a year, on Yom Kippur.
This Sunday, we hear of a promised New Jerusalem — a city even more sacred than the old, a city where peace and harmony reign, a city where all distinctions, all barriers have been removed. This city is the whole world, a world founded on a new law: a law broader and yet simpler than the old. That simplicity is based on a single word: love.
The law Jesus gave us tells us simply to love one another as he has loved us. Jesus said we would be recognized by the way in which we treat one another. It does sound simple; but in practice we are being asked to love as perfectly as God loves. We are being asked to put aside our petty differences, jealousies, dislikes, and hatreds. We are being asked simply to love, to strive for a world of peace and harmony.
Are we up to the challenge? When we can answer yes, we will be building that New Jerusalem.
— Patrick Doyle

Screen (DVD) Ray Harryhausen: The Early Years DVD Think of the most amazing stop-motion animation in history – The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Jason and the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans – Ray Harryhausen created it. This DVD set is a portrait of the artist as a young man, who was so enthralled by King Kong that he created a home studio to experiment with the form. The results: lots of dinosaur clips and family-friendly adaptations of Grimm fairy tales (which appear here with new introductions from the man himself). His talent is evident despite the low-budget nature of the work – dig the way Rapunzel's hair magically braids itself for easier climbing. Bonuses include cool test footage of a Martian from an aborted War of the Worlds film, and rhapsodic approbation from Tim Burton and Peter Jackson. – Chris Baker
Screen (theater) Nobody Knows Life for a Japanese teen should be about anime, videogames, and cramming for exams. Not so for Akira, the lead character in Hirokazu Kore-Eda's harrowing tale. Nobody Knows follows a boy left for months to care for three siblings after his mother abandons the family. Hirokazu's minimalist approach, which focuses in on the fear on the children's faces (especially Akira's, played by a 14-year-old novice who won Best Actor at Cannes), makes the film that much more chilling. – Beth Pinsker
Screen (DVD) Napoleon Dynamite Director Jared Hess's movie follows the misadventures of high schooler Napoleon Dynamite and along the way pays homage to the 1980s �bergeek – you know, the guy with the nylon-and-Velcro wallet. The DVD's killer commentary track reveals which scenes were ad-libbed (like the hilarious chatroom bit), and the new epilogue provides hope for all nerds (wedding bells, anyone?). Was it only, like, one of the best movies I ever saw? Heck yeah! – Erik Malinowski
Music Bright Eyes Digital Ash in a Digital Urn / I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning These two discs find Conor Oberst exploring two very different sides of his repertoire. Digital Ash is a terrific collection of '80s-inspired synth pop. Meanwhile, the acoustic I'm Wide Awake�showcases his singer-songwriter chops; its bare-bones sound is the perfect backdrop for lyrics about love and longing. Oberst has been compared to mope-rock luminaries Robert Smith and Elliott Smith. Here, he's worthy of such praise. – Jolie Lash
Music Michael Mayer Touch Techno's reigning tastemaker (Mayer is cofounder of the legendary Kompakt label in Cologne, Germany) steps forth with a stunning trove of bold, brassy dance tracks. Mayer's DJ sets are famous for long builds and melodic climaxes, and his studio productions are no different. He exploits trance's ecstatic crescendos without being predictable and fuses obscure samples with rock-steady drum programming to make beautiful, boombastic house music. – Philip Sherburne
Music Solex The Laughing Stock of Indie Rock The latest from Dutch record-shop owner Elisabeth Esselink is stocked with enough glib melodies and chutzpah to satisfy even the most humorless music lover. Laughing Stock is a beguiling pastiche of lo-fi folk guitars and disjointed drum machine beats. As apt to conjure Suzanne Vega as the Beta Band, Esselink ultimately calls it a draw on tracks like "Honkey Donkey" and "You're Ugly." This is pop made potent by electronics. – Ryan McCarthy
Music Blood Brothers Crimes The Brothers combine abrasive guitars, math-rock time changes, and stop-start screams to create a sound that's undeniably weird and unnervingly enthralling. "Peacock Skeleton With Crooked Feathers" features a jubilant organ melody, while "Teen Heat" throbs with a Roland 808 bass-drop reminiscent of 2 Live Crew. But the band's attack is best summed up on "Trash Flavored Trash," a punk anthem for disaffected Hot Topic kids who've scrawled "I Hate" on their old Nickelback T-shirts. – Jess Harvell
Games (Cube) Resident Evil 4 The series that digitized the living dead is back for another scare. RE4 eschews stereotypical mindless, staggering zombies for aggressive, crafty ones that can gang up on you to throw weapons and set booby traps. The story unfolds smoothly, aided by zooms, pans, and great shot composition. The incredibly detailed visuals make the game's grimy world come alive and push the limits of current graphics-processing technology. – Brandon Sheffield
Games (PS2) The Getaway: Black Monday The original Getaway was a breakthrough in digital storytelling but a letdown in the gameplay department. This gritty, violent sequel gets both right. It revolves around a London bank heist gone bad, with a cast of more than 20 motion-captured actors. You can race any of 150 licensed vehicles through crowded streets or ditch your car to explore famous buildings and the Underground on foot. It's the closest you can get to a starring role in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. – John Gaudiosi
Games (PS2, Xbox) Mercenaries You're a gun for hire looking for work in the Korean DMZ. You can accept missions from South Korea, China, a faux UN, and even the Russian mafia. To hunt down the 52 most-wanted criminals within the 4-square-kilometer demilitarized zone, you can commandeer tanks, blow up attack choppers with ground-to-air missiles, or call in a plane to drop a bunker buster. The freeform play gets an extra jolt of authenticity from the Havok 2 physics engine (as seen in Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault). – J.G.
Games (PC) Matrix Online Can't we humans, machines, and renegade software programs all just get along? This Matrix-based MMORPG picks up where the movies left off. You're a redpill who's just awoken from pod slumber and is jacked back into the Matrix. You fly, do kung fu, and hack mainframes as you navigate shifting alliances among Zion, Machines, and Exiles. The Wachowskis got comic book vet Paul Chadwick to write the episodic storyline, which will culminate in a world-threatening cataclysm in early 2006. – Matt Brady
Print Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking Malcolm Gladwell Choosing a mate, launching a radical new product, diagnosing a heart attack: Such crucial decisions, argues Gladwell, can be made more efficiently with less information. Counterintuitive? Sure, but Gladwell cites compelling research in neuroscience and psychology that proves out "thin-slicing," or focusing on slivers of relevant, common-sense experience in order to make better choices quickly. – Reena Jana
Print Five Quarts: A Personal and Natural History of Blood Bill Hayes For Hayes, blood is both life force and lethal syrup. He deftly weaves light historical trivia (Roman gladiators drank the blood of vanquished foes) with poignant stories about his relationship with an HIV-positive man. In the end, Hayes turns his morbid fascination with plasma into something approaching a paean. Blood, he writes "makes us blush, bruise, and go pale." His account of the vital fluid is sure to make your heart beat faster. – Jennifer Kahn
Print The Fly in the Cathedral Brian Cathcart Hunching over microscopes and racing to submit papers to Nature hardly make for an obvious page-turner. But the eurekas of the 1920s and early '30s – from quantum mechanics to the particle accelerator – come quickly in journalist Brian Cathcart's history of the quest to split the atom. He aptly captures the rush that scientists felt when, questioning the very foundation of matter, they cracked it open to peer inside. – Douglas McGray
Print Astro Turf: The Private Life of Rocket Science M. G. Lord While on a mission to understand her dad, a Cold War-era NASA engineer, Lord unearths a good-ol'-boy, anticommunist culture inside the Jet Propulsion Lab. Her witty criticisms of rocket men who could imagine living on Mars but couldn't dream of women becoming astronauts, are tempered by heartfelt observations about her father. Although he wasn't the space cowboy Lord envisioned, his dedication to designing ship actuators was no less heroic. – Terry Tang

Sega has today released an announcement trailer for its upcoming free-to-play mobile title, Sonic Runners.
Packed full of footage and music from the original Sonic the Hedgehog trilogy on the Sega Genesis, the teaser makes no mention of the recent ill-fated Sonic Boom games, and will certainly pique the attention of classic Sonic fans, many of whom are unhappy at the direction the franchise has been taken in.
While no gameplay footage for Runners was revealed in the video, Sega's focus on the classic 2D Sonic titles certainly hints that the game will be in that traditional style, rather than that of the company's previous endless runner, the 3D Sonic Dash.
Sonic Runners was originally announced at a fan event back in December by Sonic Team senior producer Takashi Iizuka. Today's trailer and official website confirm a Spring 2015 release for the title.

Upper Cervical Health Centers Welcomes Dr. Dalzell
Upper Cervical Health Centers (UCHC) is pleased to welcome Dr. Ryan Dalzell to the practice. Dr. Dalzell was born and raised in the Melbourne/Palm Bay area. He graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic and has studied under the world-renowned Upper Cervical doctor, Dr. G.S. Pierce, Sr.
Upper cervical care focuses on the top two bones in the neck where the brain stem becomes the spinal cord. It is responsible for transmitting nerve impulses from the brain to every part of the body. If one of those bones is misaligned, it can affect the nerve transmission to any part of the body and cause various conditions and symptoms.
A precise, state-of-the-art percussion sound wave adjusting instrument is used for the upper cervical correction and gives patients a gentle, painless, and precise treatment for removing the interference. "Correcting this interference restores balance and proper function allowing the body to heal itself naturally without the use of harmful drugs or surgery," says Dr. Dalzell.
UCHC invites you to attend an informational movie, The Power of Upper Cervical, which will be shown on Thursday, June 22. Call for reservations, seating is limited.
Location: Upper Cervical Health Centers, 1600 W Eau Gallie Blvd, Ste 104, Melbourne. For more information, call 321-622-4447 or visit UpperCervicalCare.com. Facebook @UCBrevard. Twitter @UCBrevard.

Bike Racked
Gotta love it.
These island bikes apparently have been locked up for months at the ferry terminal. A couple more weeks of freedom (sort of), and if they are not removed by their owners, their locks will be cut. The bikes will be repaired, if necessary, and sold or given away by the city. Here are a few more pressing problems faced by small town police nearby.
1.) Suspicious person reported on Great Falls Road was the homeowner shoveling his driveway.
2.) Five domesticated ducks had been abandoned by tenent. Officer left some food. Will check back.
3.) Animal Control Officer checked on a bull. It had food, water, shelter and did not appear in distress.
4.) Caller expressed concern about horses left out in the snow on Dow Road. Officer found that the horses had food, shelter, blankets and water.
5.) New Portland Road caller said she might have lost 40 quarters but was not sure.
6.) Suspicious person on the bypass had pulled over, because a friend was vomiting.
These were just a few of the recent calls recorded on a local Police Blotter.
Country towns around here get a lot of snow, but the days are broken up by some humor too.
Small town livin'.
Gotta love it.

I would rather have that than what you get in big cities, "shots fired at a middle school dance, first officer to arrive called a '99'....need more officers".ReplyDelete
I did love it when I lived in a small town in central Africa, and I guess compared to many Perth would be considered a small city.. Small is good :)ReplyDelete

that's the kind of police activity we need more of... or maybe it is 'criminal' activity.ReplyDelete
When is the bike sale? I need one without a killer seat . . .ReplyDelete
Small town life has its advantages.ReplyDelete
Ha, sounds like a nice place to live.ReplyDelete
Small towns are safer places to live than big cities, but then so are many city neighborhoods. Looks like some decent bikes will go on sale soon benefiting everyone but the former owners who forgot they had bikes. Put air in my bike tires yesterday.ReplyDelete
I'm so glad those ducks are okay and the horse has water, food, and shelter. Love it!ReplyDelete
How wonderful that this is the worst that has happened in Portland lately!ReplyDelete
Other parts of the world have horrible problems, enjoy yours for what they are..ReplyDelete
The newspaper in Nacogdoches reports these kind of calls daily. Some of them are pretty hilarious.ReplyDelete
That definitely sounds very small town!ReplyDelete
Bicycles would have disappeared after one night here...ReplyDelete
The problems of daily life.ReplyDelete
Yeah, same as in Livorno here. I wish this was all our police had to deal with...ReplyDelete
Hmm, I could be in the market for a good trail bike. . .ReplyDelete
Sounds like many news items in my small town. We do have our troubles, but they are few, thank goodness.ReplyDelete
You get that in the paper, too? It's the only interesting part of our local suburban rag.ReplyDelete
Had the woman who lost the quarters visited a casino lately?
Yeah. Real stuff happens too but my favorite here was the guy in the banana suit harassing people at a fast food place, then taking off with cops in pursuit. I know it was real because we got caught in a traffic jam when they pulled him over and stopped traffic in both directions for a long, long time. Cops: Making the world a safer place, one banana at a time.ReplyDelete
I guess even the police have to keep busy!ReplyDelete
I find it odd that so many people would leave their bikes though. I can understand one or two - but twenty? That's weird.
Gotta love small towns and Island living is the best!!ReplyDelete

Westerkamp uses environmental sounds her instruments. She refrains from using any effects, and feels it is important to do her own field recording as opposed to using pre-recorded sounds and it encourages her to listen actively. When in the studio, re-listening to her field recordings, Westerkamp often picks up on other sounds that she had not previously heard because she does not have as many other sounds competing for her attention.
"To be in the present as a listener is a revolutionary act. We absolutely need it, to be grounded in that way."
She comments that people no longer practice listening to the environment, are afraid of silence and so turn to music to fill the perceived void.
"People are afraid of silence, because it's perceived as a vacuum. It's not perceived as a source of inspiration…. The tools to search out the environmental sounds that heal us have been lessened as a result."
"Listening will help us reconnect to the environment. If we can understand what listening can do to reconnect us to our environment, we can understand what's happening to our environment... we would be enriched, hugely."

Pivot Table With Text in Values Area
July 10, 2018 - by Bill Jelen
Can you build a pivot table with text in the values area? Susan from Melbourne Florida has a text field and wants to see the before and after of that text.
Traditionally, you can not move a text field in to the values area of a pivot table.
However, if you use the Data Model, you can write a new calculated field in the DAX language that will show text as the result.
- Make sure your data is Formatted as Table by choosing one cell in the data and pressing Ctrl + T. Make a note of the table name as shown on the Table Tools tab of the ribbon.
Insert, Pivot Table. Choose "Add This Data to the Data Model" while creating the pivot table.
Drag fields to the Rows and Columns of the pivot table.
To add the text to the values area, you have to create a new special kind of calculated field called a Measure. Look at the top of the Pivot Table Fields list for the table name. Right-click the table name and choose Add Measure.
If you do not have this option, then you did not choose Add This Data To The Data Model in step 2.
- Type a field name of ListOfCodes
The formula is
=CONCATENATEX(Table1,Table1[Code],", ")
- Leave the format as General
Click Check DAX Formula to make sure there are no typos
Click OK. The new measure will appear in the field list.
When you drag ListOfCodes to the Values area, you will see a list of codes for each cell in the values area.
It is probably important to remove grand totals from this pivot table. Otherwise, the intersection of the Grand Total Row and Grand Total Column will list all of the codes in the table separated by columns. You can go to PivotTable Tools Design, Grand Totals, Off for Rows and Columns.
Amazingly, as you re-arrange the fields in Rows & Columns, the CONCATENATEX updates.
After using this method for a few weeks, I and others noticed that in some data sets, the concatenated values would contain duplicates, such as the Fig, Fig data shown in the East region above. Thanks to Rob Collie at PowerPivotPro.com, you can remove the duplicates by changing
=CONCATENATEX(Table1, Table1[Code], ", ")
=CONCATENATEX(Values(Table1[Code]), Table1[Code], ", ")
The VALUES function returns a new table with the unique values found in a column.

The Unpredictable Impact of the Inescapable Jesus. Jesus' impact on our world is highly unlikely, widely inescapable, largely unknown, and decidedly double-edged. It is unlikely in light of the severe limitations of his earthly life; it is inescapable because of the range of impact; it is unknown because history doesn't connect dots; and it is double-edged because his followers have wreaked so much havoc, often in his name.
He is history's most familiar figure, yet he is the man no one knows. His impact on the world is immense and non-accidental. From the Dark Ages to Post-Modernity he is the Man who won't go away.
And yet . . .you can miss him in historical lists for many reasons, maybe the most obvious being the way he lived his life. He did not loudly and demonstrably defend his movement in the spirit of a rising political or military leader. He did not lay out a case that history would judge his brand of belief superior in all future books.
His life and teaching simply drew people to follow him. He made history by starting in a humble place, in a spirit of love and acceptance, and allowing each person space to respond.
His vision of life continues to haunt and challenge humanity. His influence has swept over history bringing inspiration to what has happened in art, science, government, medicine, and education; he has taught humans about dignity, compassion, forgiveness, and hope.

The interim rule issued with today's FAC 2005-67 adds a new FAR clause at 52.232-39 to make clear the government is not bound by the terms of online service agreements containing an open-ended indemnification clause. The rule addresses concerns raised in an opinion from the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel involving the use of unrestricted indemnification clauses in acquisitions for social media applications. The opinion noted that the Anti-Deficiency Act (31 USC 1341) is violated when a government employee with authority to bind the government agrees, without statutory authorization or another exception, to such open-ended clauses. The rule requires contracting officers to insert FAR 52.232-39, Unenforceability of Unauthorized Obligations, in all solicitations and contracts. The rule also makes corresponding changes to FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions—Commercial Items. Comments on the interim rule are due by August 20.

A liquor store in Southwest Detroit has lost its license.
According to the Michigan Liquor Control Commission, Vienna Market is responsible for selling alcohol to minors.
It was found liable for five violations involving three different cases that happened within a 7-month period. Investigators say the underage buyers were between 18 and 20 years old.
The commission said the licensee, Amer Nahhas, sold to two minors in both the first and third incidents. It also found that there was nothing in the liquor store to indicate that any efforts, policies or technology had been implemented to prevent the future sale of alcohol to minors.

Precedential No. 37: Cancellation Respondent's Laches Claim Survives Section 8 Cancellation of its Registration
In a rare precedential interlocutory ruling, the Board held that a cancellation Respondent may pursue a laches defense even though its challenged registration has been cancelled due to the inadvertent failure to file a Section 8 declaration. The Board, however, denied Respondent's summary judgment motion grounded on laches because there exist genuine issues of material fact regarding when Petitioner had actual notice of respondent's use or registration of its mark, and whether any economic prejudice resulted from the delay. Fishking Processors, Inc. v. Fisher King Seafood Ltd., 83 USPQ2d 1762 (TTAB 2007) [precedential].
Petitioner sought to cancel, on Section 2(d) grounds, Respondent's registration for the mark FISHER KING SEAFOODS for "fresh and frozen seafood," based on alleged prior use of FISHKING and FISHKING PROCESSORS INC. for fresh and frozen fish. Respondent raised the affirmative defense of laches and moved for summary judgment on that issue.
While the cancellation proceeding was pending, the subject registration was cancelled because Respondent failed to file the requisite Section 8 declaration of use. Pursuant to Trademark Rule 2.134, the Board gave Respondent time to show cause why judgment should not be entered against it. Respondent responded that the failure was inadvertent. The Board then gave Petitioner the option of continuing with this proceeding or having it dismissed as moot. Petitioner decided to proceed in order to have the priority and likelihood of confusion issues decided sooner than later. [Respondent had already filed a new application and Petitioner had opposed it].
Petitioner argued that, in view of the cancellation of the FISHER KING SEAFOODS registration under Section 8, the basis for the laches defense "no longer exists because there is no registration upon which to base a claim of laches." I.e., Petitioner's constructive knowledge of the registration had been eliminated, since the registration is now cancelled.
Respondent countered by arguing that, regardless of cancellation of the subject registration, Petitioner had "actual knowledge of respondent and sat on its rights."
The Board sided with Respondent, ruling that Respondent may attempt to prove laches even though the subject registration has been cancelled. "The expiration of the registration does not extinguish either actual notice or constructive notice during the term of the registration."
Turning to the merits of the summary judgment motion, the Board found that conflicting statements made by the parties created a genuine issue of material fact regarding when Petitioner had actual knowledge of Respondent's use or registration.
Moreover, although Respondent submitted evidence of increased sales, it "has not demonstrated that any economic prejudice resulted from petitioner's delay." [TTABlog note: Respondent's president did testify, however, that "the company has grown exponentially since its incorporation in 1996" and that "the damage to our reputation and our recognition if we were to have to rebuild a brand under a new trademark if inestimable."]
And the Board found a genuine factual issue regarding when Petitioner knew or should have known about respondent's registration. [TTABlog question: Wasn't Petitioner on constructive notice as of the issue date of the registration?]
"Thus we cannot say that Respondent has met the requirement of showing that there is no genuine issue that petitioner's delay was unreasonable or inexcusable and that it was prejudiced by petitioner's inaction ...."
The parties also filed cross-motions for summary judgment (for the second time) on the Section 2(d) issue, but again genuine issues of material fact precluded the grant of summary judgment. The Board went on to tell the parties that further summary judgment motions may not be filed without leave.
TTABlog comment: The Board stated that Respondent must show economic prejudice resulting from the delay, but is the Board saying that the delay must somehow cause the economic harm? Isn't it enough that some change of economic position occurred during the delay period?
In the recent precedential decision in Teledyne Technologies, Inc. v. Western Skyways, Inc., 78 USPQ2d 1203 (TTAB 2006), affirmed, Appeal Nos. 2006-1366 and 2006-1367 (Fed. Cir. 2006) [TTABlogged here and here], a three-and-one-half year delay was sufficient for laches when "respondent has asserted economic prejudice based on its development of a valuable business and good will around its GOLD SEAL mark during the time petitioner raised no objection." Such recognizable damage may ensue "whether or not the plaintiff overtly lulled the defendant into believing that plaintiff would not act, or whether or not the defendant believed that the plaintiff would have grounds for action."
Isn't Respondent arguing the same thing here? I.e., that it developed its business during the delay period? Why was the change in economic position in Teledyne sufficient for a finding of laches, but not sufficient here? And why wasn't the Teledyne decision even cited in this case?
There's something fishy here!

2007 Round ups – the blog
As 2007 draws to the close, we're going to be doing some round ups of the war memorial news this year.
But, we'll start with some blog news.
We started this blog at the end of April this year, and in that time we've published 120 posts. This works out to be a respectable 3 1/2 posts a week, so make sure you come back regularly to check out the new entries.
These articles have been written by several different people, including UKNIWM staff, office volunteers and volunteer fieldworkers. We're happy to receive submissions from anyone, including members of the public, so please write in if you feel there's something that should be publicised here or an interesting war memorial story you'd like to share.
The day in 2007 when we had more visits than any other was 11 November, which is not surprising as this was Remembrance Sunday. We're also very pleased that each month has seen more visitors to the blog than the last.
In the next round up we'll look at some of our most popular stories of 2007…

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of being in Riga, Latvia for SAF's annual sales meeting. Latvia is a beautiful place with a fascinating history and an exciting future. If you have the chance to visit, I recommend taking the opportunity and I'll gladly share my experience there with anyone who asks. Today, however, I'm writing about something different.
During the course of our 3 days of meetings, our CEO, Normunds Bergs, gave a great presentation on SAF's design philosophy. His presentation was centered around SAF's name badges. When I first received my new badge here at SAF, I didn't give it a lot of thought. It's simple, with a large picture of the employee, the employee's name, and the company logo on both sides. The lanyard is a single piece of fabric with one twist, looped through the top of the badge. The single twist allows it to hang neatly around your neck and you can slip it into a pocket without too much trouble. There's a picture of it at the top of this page.
This badge was used as an illustration to explain SAF's design philosophy. Normunds pulled out a whole host of clips, lanyards, reels, and badges to show us.
For anyone who's worked in a large organization or been to a trade show or conference, these are all familiar. These are generally of the one-sided variety and are attached via a reel or lanyard with little metal clips. For some reason, the badge is almost invariably blank side out when worn. The strings on those reels break. The clips break. The clips break the thin plastic holding the badge. The annoyance is minor, and we just grab a new lanyard or plastic sleeve from the pile that we've accumulated over the years. We don't give it much thought and do nothing to address the root of the problem. But SAF does. And did.
This annoyance frustrated our founder, so he designed the name badge I described above. No one was making the one-piece lanyards he wanted, so he had them made. It's about the simplest, most effective design possible. It took some time to come up with. It took more time to implement. All for a name badge. But this philosophy, this relentless pursuit of simplicity permeates SAF's culture. This approach applies to our microwave radios, our test tools, and the software that complements these products. It's a difficult way to approach design. It takes a lot of time and effort. It requires a vigilant, critical eye and has no room for personal ego. The results? Incredibly reliable radios, spectrum analyzers that are as easy to use as multimeters, and software that's elegant, intuitive, and useful. It's what SAF does, and it makes me proud to be a part of this company.

Our stories – Faridah
Training end work
A job that supports a whole family
Faridah decided to leave her village to look for a more profitable job in the city. Her husband and her children remained there, waiting for Faridah to find a better job. She used to work as a seamstress, near the village but the earnings were very little and not enough to support the family.
When Faridah arrived at the mission home, the staff listened to her and they proposed her to work in the tailor's workshop. She immediately accepted. In the workshop she has learnt to use the different machines and she has improved her knitting.
Thank to a regular income, she could buy a small land in her village where her husband grow vegetables and also some animals to produce and sell milk.
The best news is that now also her children can go to school. Faridah has a new dream: open a tailor's in her village to give job to the needy people like her.

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – According to a special report by the American Chamber of Commerce in South China (AmCham South China), 66 percent of global companies are set to review or cancel investment in China, in response to the ongoing China-U.S. trade war.
The Special Report on the Impact of U.S. and Chinese Tariffs found the majority of companies surveyed said that both U.S. and Chinese tariffs will have negative effects to varying degrees.
AmCham South China surveyed 219 companies from Sept. 21 to Oct. 10, with over half of respondents in the service sector and one third involved in manufacturing. The study included companies from Australia, China, European Union, Japan, South Korea, and the U.S., among others.
Investment by international companies in the U.S. is set to equally suffer, with 67 percent saying they will review or cancel investment.
Nearly half of respondents said they have lost market share due to the trade war. Germany, Japan and Vietnam were revealed to be the greatest competitors for U.S. companies, while India, South Korea, and Vietnam are Chinese company's greatest competitors.
Overall, 50 percent of respondents said they have some form of plan to move manufacturing out of China and into Southeast Asia. Chinese companies were most enthusiastic about this idea, with 63% revealing this intention.

We all know that Japan has some pretty advanced mobile phones. But it's not so widely recognised that networks also provide simpler versions for people not bothered about phones with everything on.
The latest such cut-down handsets from market-leader NTT DoCoMo can be found in the 3G FOMA 704i series , which was announced yesterday. Each should sell for around ¥20,000 (£81) with a contract.
Chocolate on top
The phone most likely to win friends and influence people is the L704i, AKA LG's Chocolate phone. It comes with 3.6Mbit/s HSDPA for fast downloads. And it includes a GSM radio for overseas roaming - an increasingly common feature in non-GSM Japan.
Other likely winners are the P704i, which has a technology that maker Panasonic calls Smart Flash for enhancing night-time photos. And the SH704i and D704i (from Sharp and Mitsubishi respectively), which include 1-seg digital TV tuners.
Perhaps we should reconsider that party line about these being 'simple' handsets?
