A doctoral training for epidemiologists, statisticians and industrial hygienists. The Department of Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology at the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine, Lodz, Poland, offers an excellent opportunity to doctoral fellows for taking part in an exciting project on health effects of environmental contamination with asbestos. The project concerns an ecological hazard area in southern Poland due to asbestos contamination from an indiscriminate use of asbestos wastes by the local community. The main objectives include: (1) assessment of the risk of cancer for the inhabitants of the contaminated area; (2) evaluation of some oxidative stress parameters in blood, taking into account the type and magnitude of asbestos exposure. The studies will cover both cohort tracing and a case-control study. The project is designed for young researchers with a basic knowledge or occupational hygiene, descriptive and analytical epidemiology and biostatistics and meant to be a part of the doctoral training programme. The candidates should be well versed in computer skills (Word, Excel) and have a good command of English. Epidemiologists and occupational hygienists are preferred. While working on the project the trainees will be taking part in environmental study design, exposure assessment for the cohort members and calculation of a cumulated lifetime dose with a data analysis regarding environmental contamination with asbestos. They will also be able to perform on health effects evaluation among local community.
The expected benefits of the training include:
- familiarity with the methodology of exposure assessment used in environmental studies on asbestos
- identification of problems pertaining to assessment of individual dose in environmental studies
- experience in using the methods of analytical epidemiology and risk modeling in relation to asbestos exposure To get more information on the training site, its profile and research lines please visit our website:http://www.imp.lodz.pl

Hello everyone. This is a fantastic selection of vintage feuilles de papiers. I am currently working on creating a website for a local antiques shop and I would love to use a paper background, similar to what you have posted. Do you happen to have anything like this, but without any fees, maybe some older files which you aren't using anymore? The site will be for a local business only and it is just to promote the old man's shop, the books and vintage items he has to offer.

It what will be part of an explosive issue in the 2012 U.S. Senate race from Virginia, a Richmond Circuit Court Judge ruled Thursday that Jens Soering, a German man convicted of killing his girlfriend's parents in a gruesome 1985 murder, can stay in a Virginia prison.
In late 2009, then Governor Tim Kaine issued a transfer of Soering into German custody. Kaine was in the last months of his gubernatorial term and Bob McDonnell had already been elected as Virginia's next governor.
Shortly after McDonnell's inauguration, he and the newly elected Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, went to work to revoke the Kaine transfer of Soering, concerned that he would serve only a small part of his double life sentence in his native country.
Friday, a Richmond Circuit Court Judge ruled that McDonnell had the legal right to revoke that transfer. Back in 2010, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder informed Virginia authorities that they would not challenge the transfer revocation.
Soering's legal options are not exhausted quite yet. He still has the option of appealing this decision to the Virginia Supreme Court. However, with the Circuit Court's clear statement on the issue and the Federal Government's desire to not intervene his options are running out.
That leaves the impact it will have on Tim Kaine. Kaine has repeatedly tried to explain his decision to allow Soering to return to Germany. His main argument has centered around a desire to relieve Virginia taxpayers of the expense of detaining Soering for the rest of his life. It is an argument Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli doesn't buy.
"I don't think Tim Kaine has ever adequately explained what on earth he was thinking," Cuccinelli said.
According to Cuccinelli, Soering would've had the opportunity to be released from prison in Germany in 2 and half years. If things had gone in that direction, Soering could have been in a position to petition for his release right now.
Cuccinelli said that he believes that this issue should be front and center in the race for Senate from Virginia.
"This is a terribly unexplained exercise of the authority that he (Kaine) had at the time," Cuccinelli said.
The Attorney General told me that he believes that the General Assembly should consider legislation that would limit the ability of the Executive Branch to use their broad powers after the final election before their term ends.
Governor McDonnell, who is responsible for revoking the Soering transfer, was gratified by the court's decision.
"Jens Soering committed a heinous and gruesome crime when he killed two innocent Virginians," said McDonnell spokesman Tucker Martin. "The Governor believes he must serve his full sentence in the Commonwealth of Virginia."
The question now is how big this issue plays in November for Kaine. There are reports that behind the scenes republican media experts are preparing a significant ad campaign centered around the attempted Soering transfer. Already the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee is working to draw focus to the issue.
"Now that a judge has ruled on this matter, it's even more important for Tim Kaine to finally step forward and be honest with the citizens of Virginia about his decision to help a convicted double-murderer in the final hours of his Administration," said Brian Walsh a NRSC spokesman.
Cuccinelli told me he isn't sure what documents could even be produced that could explain Kaine's thought process. He also called on Kaine to provide a more thorough explanation.
"There is no reasonable motive," said Cuccinelli. "What could you possibly be trying to accomplish?'
I have a request into the Kaine campaign on the court's decision and a response to Cuccinelli's critisim. I will update you when I have more.

Boyfriend Jeans: Cotton On, Shirt (underneath): Target, Button-up Top and shoes: Big W, Watch: Elite, Bangle: Gift, Bracelet: Sassy Lemonade (more on it another day)
For a long time, I hated the idea of boyfriend jeans. I'm not really sure why, I just did. Then when I had Connor, I wanted some comfy jeans, that I would be comfortable wearing snuggled on the couch with him or heading out. I wanted not to have to change from comfort to fashion if I wanted to duck to the shops or out for a bite to eat.
And you guessed it boyfriend jeans fit the bill perfectly. They are so comfortable. And I feel good in them, so that's really the main thing. They got the Todd seal of approval too, which is also important to me, because lets face it, other than the kids, he sees me the most.
I wore this outfit to go and visit with my sister and her two not so little anymore girls. It was such a great day, the kids all hung out, played and laughed and Connor was never short on snuggles. And I got to talk, drink coffee, eat and just hang out with my big sister. Sounds like an awesome day to me.
With both of us having families and responsibilities and living over an hour away it doesn't happen nearly as often as it should. That actually embarrasses me to write it, because really an hour of so drive is nothing when it comes to family! Wow, wake up call Em! I really want to make a bigger effort to spend more time with my sisters, its so worth it.
Oh and before you go, only a couple of days left in my Starbucks giveaway. You can enter here.

What is an infrared thermometer according to you? The answer to this question is very important for the readers who want to know why it is important for your BBQ so the answer to this simple question is that it's a thermometer which infers the temperature. Simple? Okay now, let's know its uses. Why is an infrared thermometer used?
The use of an infrared thermometer is for convenience, it allows you to measure temperature from some distance you don't need to get up from your seat to check the temperature you can just sit and check it from there only.
There are some myths about infrared thermometers and it is important for you to know about the myths because there days it is easy to buy the myths but it is not easy to accept the fact. so the number one myth is that it allows you to measure internal temperature whereas it is not made for measuring the internal temperature it can only measure the external temperature.
if you are grilling and you want to check the temperature you would be able to check the temperature of the surface which is external and not internal and the other myth is about the equal surface people think that all the surfaces are created equally but that not true the truth is that all the surfaces are actually not created equally it basically depends on what you are pointing your gun at once you get done with your deeds your gun send variations, variations which are called emissivity now you would be thinking what emissivity is so let me tell you emissivity is the ability of the material to emit energy ( infrared energy ).
The chapter of myths and facts closes here.
Why do we really need infrared thermometers for our BBQ?
We need it because it somehow ensures safety it tells you beforehand if it's okay to pick that food item up or not. it helps you cook your delicious food perfectly, its fast in telling the temperature so there are fewer chances that you would spoil your food and it's very handy.
once we eat the food we and some of it gets left we leave it outside only at room temperature and you know what happens next? it basically causes bacteria to grow so infrared thermometer helps you to save that leftover food which you wish to eat later on.
Infrared thermometers are very useful for the BBQ lovers as it helps you to maintain the temperature inside the grill or the smoker and it gives all the control in your hand , its all about the convenience and the control being a grilling lover I purchased it long back because I consider it to be a need and not waste money in fact after some time it actually starts paying for itself and I think this quality is would by a lot of people once you know about the myths and the facts, get cleared about what it actually does you start feeling the need to buy it.

I'm always going on about how my line of work can be very unpredictable, and I regularly end up with an unexpected call or email, asking me if I'll shoot something I haven't done before. Well, this month was no different. At the end of July, I received a WhatsApp message from Richard Foster (Owner of Strom Sports Nutrition, in Shrewsbury) and Kate Theodore, one of his clients, asking if I would be interested in doing a fitness photoshoot. I'll be totally honest, initially I panicked a little, but after some careful thought, and a pep talk from my partner, I decided to take the chance, after all, it's an idea I had been dabbling with in my head for a few months now.
The night before the shoot I was buzzing with excitement, all the plans had been laid, the gym had been booked, Steve was coming along to help as a lighting assistant for the shoot, the equipment was prepped, all the was left was to get a good night's rest and have my game face on for shooting the next day.

Pros and cons of a credit card balance transfer
That credit card debt you've managed to pile up is about to get more expensive.
The Federal Reserve is poised to raise its benchmark interest rate twice more in 2017. That means the interest rate you pay every month on your credit card debt could increase by half a percentage point before the year is out.
It may be time for you to shield yourself from the impacts of a rate hike by applying for a balance transfer credit card .
What is a balance transfer credit card?
Balance transfer credit cards can reduce the interest you pay on your total credit card debt, effectively lowering your monthly payments and saving you money on finance charges. These cards allow you to consolidate all of your credit debt onto 1 low-rate card.
A credit card offer that features a low- or 0%-interest introductory period on debt transferred from another credit card can be an efficient way to vanquish a large credit card balance over time without shelling out any (or very little) interest. It's also the only practical way to pay off one credit card with another. Credit card companies won't allow you to directly use a credit card to make a monthly payment.
Who should (and shouldn't) get one?
These cards are typically designed for and offered to individuals with good to excellent credit. You may not qualify if your credit isn't in tip-top shape. If you have damaged credit, a personal loan might be a better option, particularly if you can find a fixed-rate offer that is lower than your credit card's annual percentage rate.
Balance transfer cards are ideal for individuals struggling to pay off the principal of their credit card debt due to high monthly interest payments. With balance transfer cards, you can make one low-rate monthly credit card payment instead of several.
"If you can really keep yourself on a budget. (a balance transfer credit card) can be a useful tool" for paying down debts, says Thomas Nitzsche, a certified credit counselor and communications lead at Money Management International, a Sugar Land, Texas-based nonprofit credit counseling agency.
But if you're simply transferring balances from card to card, the new one won't eliminate your debt woes. In fact, you could wind up exacerbating them because balance transfers often involve fees and could carry high go-to interest rates once the introductory period is over.
"You have to do a balance transfer for the right reasons," says John Ulzheimer, a nationally recognized credit expert formerly of FICO and Equifax. "To do it to tread water for another 12 months before sinking is not worth it. To tread water while aggressively paying down your debt in 12 months — that's the right strategy."
Tips on balance transfer cards
Before jumping at an offer, read the fine print and calculate the costs. The key figures are the:
- Introductory interest rate.
- Annual percentage rate (APR) after the intro rate.
- Balance transfer fee.
- Minimum monthly payment.
Under federal law, the teaser rate must last at least six months. Many balance transfer credit cards will offer introductory rates for longer periods, anywhere from 9 to 18 months or sometimes even longer, Nitzsche says.
Use a credit card balance transfer calculator to figure out if you'll be able to pay off the balance in full before the promotional period ends. Otherwise, you may end up paying a much higher rate on your credit balance.
In addition, stay away from using the card for further purchases while paying off the balance. It's important to steadily reduce your credit card balance on a monthly basis.
Don't forget to add in the cost of the balance transfer fee, which is typically around 3 percent of the balance. Also factor in what the new card's minimum monthly payment will be; often, it's a percentage of the balance transfer.
Can I qualify?
Even if all the numbers pan out in favor of a balance transfer, you still have to qualify. That means you should have a good idea of what your credit looks like before applying. Check your credit report for free now.
Those with stellar credit (750 or above) will likely qualify for the best teaser rates. If your credit score falls below that, you may get a higher teaser rate, but it still may be lower than what you're paying now.
"You have to set your expectations within the realm of reality," says Bruce McClary, vice president of public relations and external affairs with the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.
The other factor is the credit limit. There's always a chance the new issuer won't dole out a large enough credit line for you to transfer your entire balance, says Linda Sherry, director of national priorities at watchdog group Consumer Action.
Check the fine print to see if there is a cap on the balance transfer amount. Otherwise, you may not find out if your new account will be able to swallow your balance until after the account is opened, Sherry says. Then you'll have two credit cards you need to pay off.
Living with a transfer
You qualified for the balance transfer and moved your debt to a no-interest account. Now what?
Make sure the old card has been paid off by getting a statement from your old issuer. Sherry recommends keeping the old card open, charging very little each month (such as gas) and paying off the balance in full. That will help boost your credit score while you pay down your debt. If a balance still remains on the old card, continue to make payments on time.
Meanwhile, attack the balance transfer debt before the introductory period is up. And make sure every payment gets in on time. Otherwise, the intro rate could disappear.
People who don't utilize these best practices risk digging a deeper hole for themselves.
"They've just doubled the amount of debt they are dealing with in a short amount of time and then the debt becomes unmanageable," McClary says. "Hold your feet to the fire when it comes to paying down that balance so you don't get burned later."

Summer is convention season in Sacramento, starting with Sinister Creature Con June 16 and 17.
Located at the Scottish Rite Center — 6151 H St. — Sinister Creature Con encompasses an array of horror genre craftsmen and craftswomen that give monsters and the genre its tangible essence. This includes painters, filmmakers, sculptors, tattoo artists, comic book artists, graphic designers, practical fx companies, actors, writers, haunted attraction engineers, and much more.

With the tagline "a new comic convention experience," Sacramento will also welcome the Fandemic Tour, June 22 to 24.
This event will take place at the Sacramento Convention Center — 1400 J St. — and feature artists and exhibitors from near and far.
This event will also welcome a handful of celebrity guests, including Norman Reedus, Michael Rooker, Scott Wilson, Steven Yeun, Chandler Riggs and Jeffrey Dean Morgan from "The Walking Dead."
Milo Ventimiglia from "Heroes" and Bruce Campbell from "Ash vs. Evil Dead" are also on the guest list.

And finally, on the tail end of summer, SacAnime returns.
Also at the Sacramento Convention Center, SacAnime welcomes thousands of people each year, including hundreds of cosplayers. The event runs from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2.
Unlike the aforementioned events, I have attended SacAnime on more than one occasion and recommend it for nerds who want to connect with other nerds. My last round, I simply bought art, but the exhibition floor features merch from anime and pop culture in general.
For more information, visit sacanime.com.
Center Stage is a column exploring the arts in and around Yolo County.

"Success Does Not Consist In Never Making Mistakes, But In Never Making The Same Mistake A Second Time."
Crude Oil looks bearish at first, but one BIG CLUE from the moving-average is telling us this afternoon's move lower is most likely a pullback, rather than a reversal.
E-Mini S&P is bullish, but a key trend-line on the chart is telling us to look for the next buying opportunities after a trap below the lows.
Gold is bullish, but two big clues on the chart tell us that we need to be careful buying here and be ready to buy the next deep pullback off the highs tomorrow.
Euro is bullish, and if you missed that beautiful 'trap low' earlier today, not to worry because we have a key trend-line on the chart telling us where to be looking next.
FDAX looks bearish at first, but the same pattern from last night's newsletter is telling us that buyers are most likely going to see this recent pullback as a great buying opportunity going back to the highs tomorrow.
Crude Oil
Crude Oil is bullish and pulling back off today's high with a great example of how we can use the moving-average to define who really controls this market. Looking at the move higher this morning, we can easily see the clear separation from the moving-average. Later in the day, as the market pulls back, you can see that price appears to be stuck around the moving-average, unable to get that same separation, which is a big clue that this pullback is most likely just a pullback and not a full reversal. Buyers will be looking for traps below 54.23 and a successful breakout-pullback above the triangle for buying opportunities tomorrow, while the sellers can take control if they show us some strength pushing lower.
E-Mini S&P
E-Mini S&P is bullish and trading with a triangle this evening, which tells us to look for buying opportunities below the low of the triangle, or after a successful breakout-pullback above the highs. Buyers will find it easy to find trading opportunities if price pulls lower, but if price tries to poke through the highs, we need to beware trying to buy into the highs, so our plan is to use the triangle and look for a trap.
Gold is bullish, but after reaching the 'quadruple-up' and seeing the buyers get two chances to 'buy low' today, we know that only a VERY strong trend will keep going without a deep pullback, so we're waiting patiently to see where this market wants to go next. The most reliable buying opportunity will come after a pullback into the 'battle zone', where buyers can look for traps and failures for a move back to the highs. If price keeps going higher, we need to see confirmation with a successful breakout-pullback above the 'quadruple-up' in order to keep buying higher.
Euro is bullish and trying to complete a measured-move tomorrow, which is just above last week's closing price. You'll see that quite often; towards the end of the week, the market will start making its way back to the prior week highs, lows, and closing prices. The bulls took control earlier in the session, they just got a perfect 'trap low' and now they're looking to run back to the high and continue up to the high of the channel and the measured-move tomorrow.
FDAX is bullish and trying to re-test the high again tomorrow after a deep pullback into the 'battle zone' from last night's newsletter. Just as we expected, the bulls ran out of bullets at the highs, and now we're getting that important pullback to allow the buyers to 'buy low' and send price back to the target at the high. The sellers do have a chance here, but they need to hold this pullback and show us some strength or else the buyers will keep looking for ways to grab this price on the way back to the high.

Author: Rainer Mahr
According to the bioenergetic concepts everything that happens in the human psyche expresses itself in the body. That means it happens with biological, chemical and physiological processes and it can be influenced by physical interventions. If this theory is true then these processes must be described in biological categories and must comply with them.
This paper tries to describe Bioenergetic Analysis from the biological point of view. The biological processes are seen as the base, as the grounding of bioenergetic concepts.
The biological processes are not described in detail but somewhat like a blueprint to understand a little bit more what is going on in body psychotherapeutic work.

JANESVILLE—When police officer Lindsey Bittorf came to the door earlier this month, 8-year-old Jackson Arneson saw her light brown shirt with U.S. flag emblem and mistook her for a Boy Scout.
He did not know the stranger who came to save his life.
"I have an early Mother's Day gift for you," Lindsey told Kristi Goll, Jackson's mom.
Then Lindsey handed Kristi and Jackson creatively framed messages saying that she would donate a kidney to young Jackson.
Kristi cried in disbelief.
For months, the Janesville mother had worried whether a suitable kidney donor would be found for her third-grade son.
At one point, Kristi was so discouraged she almost gave up hope.
Then Lindsey appeared, and Kristi could do nothing but weep.
"We cried a lot," Kristi said. "We hugged a lot."
After all, what do you say to someone who appears out of nowhere to give your child the gift of life?
Lindsey, an officer with the Town of Milton Police Department, came to the door with her husband, Ryan Bittorf, a deputy with the Rock County Sheriff's Office.
They came in uniform because they know Jackson likes law enforcement officers.
And they came only hours after Lindsey received the green light as a donor.
Lindsey, the town's first female police officer, has taken an oath to serve and protect her community.
"My kidney will now be able to serve and protect you," Lindsey told Jackson.
Lindsey, who also is a mom, learned about Jackson on social media.
She immediately contacted University Hospital in Madison to find out if she qualified as a donor.
"I would hope that someone would save my child's life," Lindsey explained. "It takes a village to raise a child. We're all in a village here."
Lindsey sent Kristi a Facebook message saying that she was in the process of being tested.
"I just knew it would be me," Lindsey said.
A child typically must be at least 24 months old to receive an adult kidney, and there is usually enough space for the new kidney to fit, Kristi said.
Lindsey goes into the surgery with her eyes wide open.
"I have a master's degree in psychology," Lindsey said. "I understand the positives and negatives of the situation."
She will take two months of unpaid leave from her job for the surgery in June and recovery.
"I'm excited," Lindsey said. "It will be summer, and I will get to hang out with my kid."
Kristi still can't believe Lindsey's unexpected support.
"She is helping to give Jackson a great future," Kristi said. "With such a big life event, I am so glad we have formed this bond. She is going to always be a part of us. She is completely selfless."
Both women are 31. Both know many of the same people. But they did not meet each other until earlier this month.
Lindsey insists she would volunteer for the surgery, even if she was not a mom.
"Children are our future," she explained.
Lindsey went into law enforcement to help people in bad times.
"I want to make their worst times better," she said.
Young Jackson, when learning about the kidney donation, wondered aloud if Lindsey's kidney will help him run faster.
"He's really excited," Kristi said, about feeling better.
A student at Van Buren Elementary, Jackson told his class about his upcoming surgery, and one student asked if Jackson could buy a kidney at Target.
Lindsey told Jackson that, after the surgery, a part of her will always be with him.
"I'll be there if you ever get pulled over for speeding," she said, smiling.
Lindsey dismisses any reference to herself as a hero.
Kristi and Jackson are the real heroes, she said.
Jackson was born prematurely with a congenital condition called posterior urethral valves, which caused severe damage to his kidneys. He spent two month in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Doctors said the child would need a new kidney someday. Last year, they said it was time to search for a donor.
Kristi reached out via social media. After a story about her family's plight on television earlier this month, a number of people came forward.
But Lindsey was the only one with the right blood type and other factors that make her a good match.
Jackson is one of 2,174 people in Wisconsin waiting for transplants, and most are waiting for kidneys, a hospital spokesman said.
Last year in Wisconsin, 389 people donated organs, and 160 were living donors. Most living donors are family and friends.
Kristi and Jackson do not know how to thank Lindsey for being the life-giving stranger at the door.
"It's been a long journey," Kristi said. "This is the best Mother's Day gift I will ever receive."

Vanguard Group plans to simplify its Target Retirement Funds and certain other funds-of-funds in an effort to improve the products' international diversification.
The Valley Forge, Pa., company plans to replace the funds three underlying international portfolios with a single broad international stock index fund. Vanguard will also increase the overall international equity exposure of these funds.
Assets in the funds' current international component funds – the Vanguard European Stock Index Fund,the Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund and the Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund - will be moved to the Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund.
The transition is expected to occur in the next few months in the 12 Vanguard Target Retirement Funds and three Vanguard Managed Payout Funds.
Gus Sauter, Vanguard's chief investment officer, said by making these changes investors will have "more streamlined portfolio construction and more diversified international exposure."
Under the simplified approach, most of the Target Retirement Funds will comprise three broad index funds. Target Retirement Funds with target dates greater than five years from the current year will offer allocations constructed using only three funds.
Vanguard also plans to increase the international equity exposure of Vanguard Target Retirement Funds, Vanguard LifeStrategy Funds, and Vanguard STAR Fund from approximately 20% to approximately 30% of the equity allocations. The exposure to domestic equities in these funds will be reduced so that the overall allocation of stocks and bonds remains the same.
"This increased international allocation will incrementally increase diversification and hence, marginally reduce the volatility of the funds over the long term," Sauter said.
Vanguard, Which had $1.4 trillion in mutual fund assets under management as of Aug. 31, offers more than 165 index and actively managed funds and ETFs to U.S. investors and more than 50 additional funds in non-U.S. markets.

D'on Cook
Once I thought of myself as a failure, states D'on Cook. It seemed as if life couldn't get any worse. I felt like I was following an endless routine of sorrow and doubt. I felt like I was losing my mind and wondered if I had a purpose, or was I just another number to the human race placed on this earth, or an extra gathered on the set of a movie.
In 2008, I became ill due to a physical impairment and ended up spending my junior year of high school at home. Since I missed so many days of school, I was advised that I must repeat the eleventh grade. That was not acceptable because I worked hard to maintain a 2.5 grade point average that year despite my attendance. I decided to withdraw and eventually enrolled in Dearborn YMCA's Pathway To Employment Program so that I could obtain my General Education Diploma (G.E.D).
Since, attending Dearborn, I have been inspired physically and spiritually. I attained my G.E.D and learned about job readiness and career development skills. Thanks to the counselors at Dearborn YMCA, I plan to get an associates degree at Bishop State Community College and major in Electronics Engineering Technology.

Shibuya has partnered with the established American archery lens manufacturer Feather Visions to provide a wider selection of scopes. Feather Vision has been providing OEM lenses for several popular manufacturers since 1997. Their focus has always been to provide excellent quality scope lenses and optical accessories for use in archery.
The Verde lens is Shibuya's standard option. Using a specific curve structure that provides a clearer image than the truly flat lens design, this glass lens performs extremely well in most conditions. The specific curve structure combined with the clear optical properties of glass minimizes traditional reflections that often plague flatter designs while allowing a sharp clean view of the target. The premium AR Coating is provided by Zeiss and provides over 99% light transmission.
Offered lens powers are: +.25, +.37, +.50, +.62, +.75, +.82, and +1.00 diopter.
We will be offering the Verde Plus and Verde lens options directly for the 29mm scope. Both of these lenses feature high-quality material and Zeiss coating for over 99% light transmission. All lenses are perfectly optically centered, and checked for fit against the Shibuya 29mm scope housing.

Usually a fund manager only slashes management fees to pacify investors suffering poor returns. Should our decision to cut APN's Asian REIT Fund management fees in half for all current investors, and new ones applying before the end of the financial year, therefore be a concern?
Absolutely not. Currently delivering an attractive distribution yield of more than 6%, to date the APN Asian REIT Fund has delivered a total return of 17.63% per annum since it was launched in 2011*. So why are we reducing the management fee and changing dividend payments to monthly rather than quarterly?
Well, given that performance, this fund should be more popular with investors than it is. That though, is not the only reason. In our view, many income investors disregard Asian investment opportunities at their cost. We hope cutting our management fee will help investors wary of Asian exposure to think more deeply about how their income-based portfolios might benefit from careful exposure to developed, rather than developing, Asia.
That distinction is important. When investors hear the word 'Europe' they think of London, Paris and Berlin, rich cultures that symbolise how we think of Western civilization, with its democratic origins, political stability and separation of powers. Asia provokes a different reaction. Instead of mental images of creative, dynamic economic hubs like Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong, we ruminate on political despotism in places like China and army rule in Thailand, on their weak property rights and unpredictable legal systems.
Investing in Asia can mean many things, but for APN's Asian REIT Fund it means exposure to high quality commercial property investments in Asia's most globalized cities – Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo.
There's a reason for that. In the same way that Germany is not Greece and Sweden is not Portugal, Singapore is not Indonesia, Tokyo is not Tianjin and Hong Kong is not Huangzhou.
This vital distinction is how we've delivered reliable, attractive returns for income-driven investors that want exposure to Asia's booming middle class, without the risks that investing heavily in, say, Indonesia and China might entail. We think the performance of the APN Asian REIT Fund offers stout support for this strategy.
Consider the 50% reduction in our management fee a sweetener, an inducement to evaluate a fund that features a distribution yield of more than 6%*, paid monthly, generated from cities that link the world to its greatest-ever industrialization. Now, isn't that worth a closer look?

Important Information
Change from quarterly to monthly distributions
Effective from 1 January 2016, the APN Asian REIT Fund ('Fund') is paying distributions monthly (previously paid quarterly).
We understand a large number of investors appreciate frequent and regular income payments from their investments and we are pleased to be able to increase the frequency of the Fund's distributions. The annualised distribution amount paid by the Fund will not change as a result of the move to monthly distributions. Investors will receive the same annual distribution amount, but paid in 12 monthly payments, rather than in four quarterly payments.
The first monthly distribution was paid on 10 February 2016 and distributions will be paid monthly thereafter.
Investors are also reminded of their ability to participate in the Fund's Distribution Reinvestment Program which continues to be available.

Recently, XDA Developer forum announced that android experts in the forum have figured out a way to estimate the production of Android smartphones. The estimation is done based on the IMEI number of each device shipped by the manufacturing company. Reportedly, a post came up in the XDA forum recently, claiming that the production of LG Nexus 4 smartphones has crossed one million, since November last year.
By the end of 2012, the estimate was that about 400000 LG Nexus 4 handsets were shipped. The 999,998th Nexus 4 handset was reportedly sold in Turkey according to XDA. This is questionable as Google Play presently doesn't offer the handset in that market. Nevertheless, the much hyped post in XDA, notes that the device stored in Turkey was black and was produced on the 5th of February.

Google's Nexus 4 devices, manufactured by LG have been reportedly going out of stock in many markets around the world. However, neither Google nor LG have made comments on the matter yet.
Members of the XDA forum have also calculated that the handset peaked in production on the month of January, shipping more than 500,000 units. The smartphone powered by a quad core processor runs in the Jelly Bean version of the android OS. With this specification, its demands can only be assumed, unless LG or Google are willing to shed more light on this topic. The handset is presently out for sale only in 7 markets which include the USA, Australia, France, Spain, Germany, the UK and Canada.
