The Regenerative Generation
by Christopher Lindstrom, Co-founder of Catalyst Bioenergy Group and the great-great grandson of John D. Rockefeller
As I write this COP21 meetings (www.cop21paris.org) are over, having culminated with a commitment to keep the planet's temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the path to achieve this goal is still vague with many questions remaining about how to implement.
As the real work begins, we must find strong leadership among younger generations—the ones who will suffer the most severe consequences of climate inaction—to break through the inertia of the old industrial economy in favor of a new regenerative world. After all, climate change is a symptom of a system of extraction, a system rooted in a worldview formed by a reductionist and linear thought process and relationship to life itself. I, and many of my peers, have major doubts that we will be able to realistically address climate change, and all of the other environmental and social crises that are wrapped up in it, within the existing framework. We need regenerative systems thinking. Reducing emissions is not enough. Nor is it enough to just replace fossil fuels with wind, solar and electric cars. The work is greater, more nuanced and more systematic: for we must regenerate the natural and social capital that has been depleted by over 150 years of callous extraction. There is a new generation of entrepreneurs and activists that are stepping up to this challenge by bridging philanthropy, investing, and systems thinking with social and environmental accounting.
As a fifth generation member of the Rockefeller family, I am aware of the best and worst of my family's iconic role in the time bomb of fossil fuels. John D. Rockefeller, the founding patriarch and my great-great grandfather, helped set in motion the unprecedented human experiment making standardized oil the world's primary energy source. By 1879 a small group of men, including his brother William, Henry Flagler and Samuel Andrews dominated 90 percent of the American oil refining industry amassing unprecedented sums of money, recycling it back into banking and finance, and shaped virtually every sector of the economy from agriculture, healthcare, transportation, chemicals and the military as extensions of the fossil fuel economy. After a superficial government crackdown on monopolies, his company, aptly named Standard Oil, split into several subsidiaries that we now know as Chevron, BP Amoco, and ExxonMobil.
Today, these corporations are poster children for the extractive economy. Whether it's the Exxon spill in Alaska, BP in the Gulf of Mexico or Chevron's relentless assault on the Amazonian rainforest, they have all demonstrated that they are not just destructive in their practices, but with the advent of climate change, we can say confidently that they are direct threats to life on this planet. And while I may be a benefactor from the wealth that they produce, I am not afraid to say that our survival as a species depends on their dissolution or radical transformation. Thankfully, this process may be underway. After the climate march last year and continuing at COP21, hundreds of financial institutions and foundations, including the Rockefeller Brother's Fund, have joined the Divest-Invest movement and are pledging to take their money out of fossil fuels and reinvest in clean energy. This is the tip of the spear that will end fossil fuel economic dominance.
But, again, this is going to require major shifts beyond conventional investing or politics.
Most important perhaps, is closing the gap between waste and energy. In nature, there is no waste. What is not used by one organism is energy for another. Nature is fundamentally cyclical. If that cycle is broken, life will collapse.
Fossil fuels, among other things, break that cycle. And in order to mend it, we need a new economic paradigm — an economy that doesn't just reduce the amount of carbon that is emitted, but one that sequesters more net carbon than is released. Because waste by definition is an open loop, we must implement systems of energy that help complete the cycle by transforming waste into a resource, i.e. energy, recycled materials and soil. By doing this we can begin to address the two major causes of climate change — fossil fuel energy and fossil fuel based industrial agriculture.
As a kid, I was struck by the iconic scene from Back To The Future where Doc Brown shows up out of nowhere in his updated time machine and frantically stuffs garbage into its fuel intake. Perhaps this was some kind of subliminal message for our modern era. Perhaps, the future will require going back to our past for solutions to the present crisis. As it turns out, there have been two basic technologies from the 1800's (if not earlier) that can sustainably generate energy from waste: anaerobic digestion and gasification. But up until now, they have been seriously marginalized. Whether it be intentional marginalization by fossil fuel interests or complexities in maintaining a consistent output from a complex process, anaerobic digestion and gasification are barely included in the lexicon of sustainability. However, they both generate renewable fuel while recycling waste resources. This gas can be used as fuel for transportation or for generating electricity. But more importantly, they also produce valuable soil by-products. And this is a key carbon mitigating aspect. While aerobic digestion produces a bio-fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, gasification produces a char that is a very stable form of carbon, which, if placed in the ground, can store that carbon for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Next to waste, there are several other issues that must be addressed. As long as the vast majority of people in the world continue to live in destitute poverty while others have more money than they know what to do with, people will continue to ruin the environment. Human beings cannot afford to think about climate change or the environment if they are fighting to feed themselves. And those who live only for the pursuit of wealth at the expense of the vast majority of humanity will likely be just as oblivious to the environment. While this may seem out of context, I think it is a critical component of the Regenerative Economy. One of the most common sense means of helping to fight poverty is through instituting a citizens' dividend — not unlike what Alaska has been administering to every Alaskan citizen since 2005. While this has been given from the state's oil revenue, what if everyone in this country received a dividend based on renewable energy and sustainable agriculture? What if we were to establish a national trust where a percentage of all renewable energy was owned in common? That could function as the bases of a green energy dividend. The same could be applied for food production.
The move to a regenerative civilization will not be easy. But we should be wasting no time. If we are trying to limit global temperatures from rising past 2 degrees, radical action is needed. While we hope that governments will back up their commitments with action, I believe civil society will lead the way and make the initial investments to demonstrate the viability of this path. Foundations can exponentially increase their impact if they make the choice to leverage their assets towards regenerative investments. That could set a precedent that would help invite participation from pension funds, which have now been given the green light to invest for impact. After all, the time has come that we close the loop on investing and values. The rewards clearly outweigh the risks.

The current bearish condition in the crypto space has left a lot of suspense in the minds of all crypto users, investors, and enthusiasts. Millions of dollars have gone down the drain in a little space of time. One is left wondering if the digital currency space would rise again from this huge fall.
As we view and analyze the fall in the prices of cryptocurrency, it is important to also look critically at the environmental forces hitting down the market.
The Press
All eyes seem to be focused on the crypto markets, the press scratch everywhere to source news about the digital currency, giving a very cynical impression. All the attention which was formerly given to politics and entertainment are now diverted to the crypto space. So many financial experts have made negative statements about bitcoin and other cryptos.
Jamie Dimon, JP Morgan boss, once said that bitcoin is a fraud and it is not going to work, going as far as setting rules against bitcoin investment in his company.
Cryptocurrency is a product of an emerging technology, blockchain, there is a skeptical approach in the use of an investment in the crypto space. Major Institutions in both private and public sectors find it very difficult to adapt to the use of cryptocurrencies. Most of them have adopted a kind of sit on the fence approach watching what would become of the cryptos.
No Regulations
There is no firm hold on the control of the cryptocurrency by the financial regulators like the International Monetary Funds, IMF and the Central Banks. The security of financial wealth being reserved in digital currency is still in question.
Ripple Inc. seems to have made the analysis of all these challenges and decided to profer solutions, mostly in the area of institutional adoption as stated by Ripple CEO, Brad Garlinghouse in his recent interview with Bloomberg. This involves government, financial institutions, regulatory authorities and big multinational companies accepting cryptocurrency.
Ripple is laying a good example signing on a lot of banks and other financial institutions to its network. It focuses on developing decentralized financial tools to ease cross-border payment processing. Stability in the crypto space is likely to occur if the government would heed Ripple's call for institutional adoption.

David — Hero of Faith
by Abiding Love
Psalm 142 — When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way.
In the path where I walk people have hidden a snare for me.
Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge; no one cares for my life.
I cry to you, Lord; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living."
Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need;
rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.
Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name.
David was in a cave when he wrote this psalm. He wasn't exploring. He was hiding. Saul and his men were hunting David like an animal. Like an animal, David took refuge in a cave.
Does this sound like the David you learned in Sunday School? David — the man who saved his sheep by killing a bear. David — the man who could claim victory over Goliath. David — the anointed future king of Israel. This is the David hiding in a cave praying to God. What is heroic about that?
This summer at Abiding Love we are about to meditate upon "heroes of faith". What I pray we come to appreciate is how different the Bible's heroes of faith are from the modern concept of a superhero.
What is the big difference?
I would suggest this: a superhero looks to himself for the answer, but a hero of faith knows that God is the answer. A superhero makes his own plans, while a hero of faith prays, trusts, and obeys. A superhero saves. A hero of faith knows he or she has been saved by Jesus Christ, and all actions flow from there.
It makes David not so different from us. While I can't relate to shooting fireballs or spiderwebs from my hands or having any other superhuman powers, I can relate to depending on the One who can still the wind and the wave. I can relate to having a spirit that grows faint within me and crying out to the Lord for refuge and freedom. I can relate to having a God who loves me so much He would move heaven and earth for me… or for you… And I can learn alot about a man like David praying his heart out while he hides in a cave.
Will you join us, when you can, for taking a fresh look at the heroes of the Bible? This Sunday we will meet some in our worship services. Then we will begin an adult/child Bible study hour on June 30, 9:15am, where we will weekly look at "Heroes of Faith" to help us and our children learn to put our confidence in our God.
Peace in Jesus,
Pastor John Gensmer

QV x NF 3.0 is here!
We're happy to announce the third edition of this brewing contest collaboration. For those of you joining us for the first time, QVxNF is a collaboration between brewers and artists. We host a brewing competition and invite anyone in the Newfermenters to submit a beer. These beer are then judged and 4 winners are chosen. We partner up with local artists to design the cans and release a fresh 4 pack later in the year! There's also a bottle share at the taproom where all entrants are encouraged to join!
Good luck to all! Any questions, feel free to drop us a line.
Key Dates
Friday, July 31, 2020
Submission available. Starting on this day, you can drop your entries at the Quidi Vidi Hop Shop. Be sure to check the entry guidelines below for details on submission format.
Friday, August 7, 2020
Submission deadline. All entries must be received at Quidi Vidi no later than this date.
Sunday, August 23, 2020, 1:00 pm
Bottle Share and Judgement Day. Note: You don't need to attend Judgement Day in person to participate in (or win) the competition, but it is recommended as it's always a lot of fun. Be sure to arrange a ride for this one.
Entry Guidelines
Registration is now closed, thanks to all who entered!
Entrants will submit 12 x 341ml bottles of homebrewed beer. Each bottle should be labelled with your entry number only. Please label the bottles, not the caps.
Each entry must include a completed recipe form. Be sure to write your entry number on both pages in case they get separated. Fill out as much of the information as you can. Download the form here.
Here's some tips on beer design and system limitations from the team at Quidi Vidi:
Please refrain from using ingredients that are not readily available. Certain items can be difficult to attain on a large scale and because we always hope to brew upscaled as true to entries as possible, ingredient selection can sometimes cause changes to recipes. Even hop selection can be affected by this, for example, Galaxy is a great hop! In large volumes, it's about as common as a May without snow.
Our system is a single infusion 2-vessel system. Step-mashing and decoction mashes are unable to be effectively reproduced.
If using fruit, please specify the format and at what stage it is added. Different formats will ferment at different rates and may carry sugars over to packaged product, resulting in secondary fermentation, or may yield different levels of character in finished product, IE: puree vs. juice vs. chunks.Quidi Vidi

Say what you will about The Force Awakens, but even the most adoring of fans admit that its plot was incredibly similar to the seminal films that had come before it. The return of Star Wars meant that new stories could be told, so why spend so much time in familiar material (albeit well-made and with some exciting new spins)? Enter Rogue One, the first in a series of various standalone films that Disney is making in addition to their new trilogy. From the very beginning of the trailer it is clear that this is Star Wars like you've never seen it. J.J. reintroduced us to the world we loved and gave us a great reminder of why we loved Star Wars in the first place. Without that reintroduction, a movie like Rogue One could never exist. Isn't it great to be in a word where it does?
Taking place just before the events of A New Hope, the film stars Felicity Jones stars as Jyn Erso, who from this trailer alone is already in the running for one of the great Star Wars characters. She is recruited by Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly, reprising her role from Episode III) to join a group of rebels hoping to steal the plan's for the Empire's new weapon. That weapon, of course, is the Death Star, and the adventure that Gareth Edwards and Chris Weitz have created looks bursting with intrigue, action, and excitement.
The film also features Diego Luna, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Donnie Yen, Ben Mendelssohn and Forest Whitaker. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story opens December 16, 2016.

Is content writing essential for a franchise business?
Is content writing essential for a franchise business?
According to Content Marketing Institute's statistics, 72% of marketers state that content marketing increases engagement and enhances lead generation.
Every business needs content to reach out to its target audience, and engage them in a conversation. No matter the type and size of a business, content plays a crucial role in the success of its marketing strategy.
Table of Contents
Is content writing essential for a Franchisee Business?
Content writing is essential for a franchisee business to create brand awareness and drive sales growth. However, the type of content required by franchisors and franchisees is different.
Franchisors require content that establishes the credibility of the brand on a national or international level and attracts interested parties to sign up for the franchise. Whereas, franchisees require localized content that connects with the local customers, increases footfalls in the stores, and ultimately boosts sales.
Content marketing for franchisee businesses is different from that of other businesses due to the complexity of the franchise business model. While most regular businesses have only one store to market, a franchise business has multiple stores.
This makes content marketing for franchise business a tedious task that requires proper planning and strategy.
Reasons Why Franchise Businesses Need Content
Content marketing is essential for every type of business, whether it is B2B or B2C. According to the latest statistics, content marketing generates 3 times more leads than traditional marketing, whereas it costs 62% less.
Helps To Connect With Customers
Content marketing helps you to connect with your customers by providing them useful information. When you give out information for free, viewers will flock to your website or social media pages.
Helps to Build Credibility
When you provide valuable information to the viewers and engage with them on a regular basis with your content, you can develop a rapport with them. Once the potential customers believe that you are a trustworthy and credible brand, they do not think twice before buying your products or services.
Helps to Build Reputation
Most people believe what other users have to say about your rather than your promotional materials. Publishing case studies and customer testimonials about how your brand can solve customers' problems can help to build a good brand reputation.
What types of Content Do Franchise Business Need?
There are multiple types of content that can be used on different platforms. Every business does not require to publish all types of content. Here are some types of content suitable for franchise businesses.
- Articles and blog posts to share information about your products and services and how they can be used to solve the everyday problems of your potential customers.
- Testimonials to showcase the accomplishments of your franchisees.
- Social media content to increase brand followers and expand your customer base.
- Video content that educates the viewers about the latest happenings in your industry, or company.
- Infographics that present data in an eye-catchy and easy-to-understand manner.
- Call-to-actions for your landing pages that motivate the users to delve deeper into the website or share their contact information
- Ebooks to establish your industry authority by providing in-depth information about the latest updates from your industry and enticing the viewers to provide their contact information.
How To Develop content for Franchise Business
As we have already discussed, developing content for a franchise business is complex due to the nature of the business. Here are some factors to consider while developing content to market your franchise business.
Know the Brand
The initial step before creating content for your franchise business is to know the brand. You have to understand crucial aspects like what the brand stands for, its target customers, the brand personality and tone, and their marketing strategy. As a franchise, it is always prudent to ensure that you build an image that matches the overall corporate brand image.
For example, all the stores of McDonald's are expected to use the same colors and decor in their interiors, offer the same schemes decided by the corporate brand and wear the same uniforms. This helps them to maintain a uniform brand image across all their franchisees and enhance customer experience.
Know Your Competitors
Study the market closely and understand who your competitors are at the local level. Though the corporate brand has some competitors, the competition gets fierce at the local level as there are more players on the field. Once you shortlist your competitors, do market research to know their strengths and weaknesses. This will help you in creating your own marketing strategy.
For example, if you are a franchise of McDonald's, the obvious competitors for the brand are companies like Burger King and KFC. Apart from them, there may be lots of popular coffee shops, cafes, and breakfast joints in your area that offer tasty food at budget-friendly prices. All these are your competitors.
Set Content Marketing Goals
Before you start creating content, set your goals. Determine what you want to achieve through content marketing. Set short-term and long-term goals that you wish to accomplish through content marketing. These goals should be actionable, achievable, and measurable.
Some examples of goals can be increase traffic to the website by publishing blogs and articles regularly, improve social media presence by sharing valuable tools on your social media pages, increase engagement by updating the content in your blogs at regular intervals, etc.
Perform Intensive Keyword Research
Keywords aid in identifying the content that your potential customers are actively searching for. They also help in improving your search engine rankings and enable your target audience to find you easily. Make a list of the keywords and analyze their popularity and competition. You should also research the competitors who are currently ranking for these keywords and the type of content published by them.
For example, if you are a franchise for a plumbing business, you should identify the keywords used by viewers when searching for plumbers or plumbing services like plumbers in my area, plumbing tips, etc., and create content using these keywords.
Shortlist the Content Forms
There are multiple forms of content such as full text, infographics, and video content. You should choose which form of content is more apt for your target audience and for the content you intend to share with your viewers.
For example, infographics are ideal to share data-rich content, videos can be used to explain product features, vlogs can be used to connect personally with the customers and showcase the special services of your franchise.
The final step is to start creating content for your franchise business. You can either create the content in-house or hire an expert content writing agency to do the job for you. Hiring a content writing agency has many benefits as it will help you save time, money and leverage the potential of your content marketing efforts.
Towards 90 is a reputed content writing agency in India. We work with the best freelance content writers in the country, who can create multiple types of content for franchisee businesses.
Five Content Creation Tips For Franchise Businesses

- Create social media pages for your franchise on all the platforms frequented by your audience.
- Participate in local events, and community projects and create content around them.

Federico Mussini takes it all in after one of his five three-pointers, leading St. John's with 17 points in Red Storm's 84-72 victory over Syracuse. (Photo courtesy of Amy Rio and Chris Barca of the Queens Chronicle)
NEW YORK -- Prior to today, St. John's had not won two straight games against Syracuse since 1993. To put that in perspective, Bill Clinton had just been inaugurated as President of the United States, Brian Mahoney was in his first season coaching the then-St. John's Redmen, and Chris Mullin was fresh off winning an Olympic gold medal in Barcelona with the "Dream Team" the previous summer.
Twenty-two years later, Mullin, now in his first season at the helm of his alma mater, now has a signature win around which to further build the dreams of the St. John's fan base.
Five players ended the afternoon in double figures for the Red Storm, led by 17 points from Federico Mussini, as St. John's (7-3) took advantage of a Syracuse team that could not get out of their own way as the game progressed, overpowering the Orange (7-3) and their questionable execution to an 84-72 triumph before a largely pro-Syracuse crowd at Madison Square Garden.
"I've watched a lot of their games," said Syracuse interim coach Mike Hopkins, who replaced Jim Boeheim as the Hall of Famer serves a nine-game suspension, "and they've done a heck of a job. They're all getting better. They really executed against our zone."
Mussini was the catalyst in both halves, finishing the afternoon with five three-pointers on a day where the Italian freshman channeled his inner Phil Greene, whose clutch shooting guided the Red Storm to victory at the Carrier Dome last December.
"It was the best win of my life," an exultant Mussini proclaimed after his marksmanship whipped St. John's fans into a frenzy, with both student sections breaking out chants such as "drive home safely," "New York's team," and "where is Boeheim?" "Playing here is unbelievable," Mussini continued. "With this crowd, it's something special. It's an amazing experience."
Indeed it was for the home team, who was on the ropes late in the second half when Syracuse started to press the inexperienced Red Storm. But the Orange's inability to convert layups and point-blank shots inside the paint, coupled with a general malaise on offense on a day where they shot just 36 percent from the floor and 19-for-31 at the foul line, contributed to the mild upset.
Durand Johnson, Kassoum Yakwe, and Amar Alibegovic; the latter of whom set the tone for the Red Storm with his timely baskets in the opening stanza, each tallied 15 points apiece. Ron Mvouika contributed 10 of his own, while Yankuba Sima finished one point and two rebounds shy of a double-double, collecting nine points and eight boards. Michael Gbinije paced Syracuse and all scorers with 21 points, with freshmen Malachi Richardson and Tyler Lydon adding 15 and 11, respectively. However, the story of this day was the statement win for a young team that could use a major confidence boost as it finishes the non-league schedule and heads into Big East play.
"I told them that sometimes when I'm pushing them, I truly believe this team can keep getting better," a proud Mullin gushed as St. John's won their third straight game since losing to Fordham on December 2. "This win was really important. It shows them there's more there."

Nobody expected Ohio State wrestling to beat Penn State in Rec Hall this weekend. Three, maybe four matchups were toss-ups. The only sure thing was Logan Stieber, who was taking on a freshman in Zain Retherford. Retherford was 10-0, but hadn't really faced any of the "big boys" yet. Keeping it to a major decision was probably the best that he could hope for.
The match started as many expected. Stieber scored the early takedown and went to work with his armbar series. He sunk in the armbar and went for the turn, but a potentially dangerous call reset things and Stieber couldn't score. Eventually, Retherford escaped, giving Stieber the 2-1 advantage after the first period.
Stieber began the second period from the bottom and that's when things started to get strange. Retherford kept top position as Stieber looked almost passive from the bottom. Two minutes passed and the period ended with the defending national champion still on bottom. Retherford chose neutral to begin the third period. The two wrestlers traded takedown attempts with neither being able to finish. The riding time accumulated in the second period gave Retherford a point resulting in a 2-2 score, and overtime.
Then it happened. Retherford shot. Stieber defended. Both wrestlers adjusted. Retherford came behind Stieber. The referee raised two fingers. A winning streak spanning two seasons and two NCAA tournaments was over in a flash. Retherford 4 Stieber 2. Retherford would later say that he dreamed about a win over Stieber the night before. His dream came true, but the Buckeyes' nightmare was just beginning.
Down 8-3 after the Stieber loss and Nathan Roberts' loss by tech-fall to Nico Megaludis (Johnni DiJulius won a close decision at 133), Ian Paddock was up at 149 pounds. Paddock was the only "favorite" left for the Buckeyes. He also went down to a Freshman, dropping a 5-3 decision to Seth Bietz. Randy Languis was up next, and he dropped a 12-5 decision to backup James Vollrath at 157.
After intermission, it was David Taylor, arguably the best wrestler in the country, versus Joe Grandominico. Taylor scored a quick takedown and led 9-1 by the end of the first period. In the end it was a 20-5 tech fall victory for the Penn State senior. Next up was Mark Martin who was thoroughly dominated by #3-ranked Matt Brown 16-4. Kenny Courts followed at 184 pounds, taking on 2x national champion Ed Ruth. Courts, the heavy underdog, surprised Ruth with an early takedown but it was all Ruth from there. Courts would score only one more point as Ruth worked his way to a 14-3 decision.
With only two matches left, #5 Nick Heflin was set to take on #3 Morgan McIntosh. However, Wes Phipps replaced the injured McIntosh at the last minute.Heflin, an All-American in 2013, used a late takedown to score a 3-1 victory. The final match of the evening saw Nick Tavanello drop a 12-4 decision to Jimmy Lawson at heavyweight.
The final team score was 31-6. With the loss, the Buckeyes' record now stands at 4-1. Where Stieber goes from here will be a story to watch as the season progresses. He will still be favored in every match that he wrestles, but winning three straight Big Ten and NCAA championships is no longer a foregone conclusions. One thing is for sure: This spring all eyes will be on the Big Ten tournament as Stieber and Retherford are on a collision course for a rematch.
The Buckeyes next take the mat Dec. 19 at Kent State University.

- Largest shareholder now controls 67.63% of the Company.
- Management controls the largest shareholder.
- Previous time Management bought shares in the Company was February 2016.
- Expect to see a price floor at $0.82.
What is the news?
- 800 Super Holdings Ltd (the Company) announced that Yong Seong Investment Pte. Ltd. (YSI) has increased its interest in the Company.
~ SGinvestors.io ~ Where SG investors share
Largest shareholder, Yong Seong Investment, now controls 67.63% of 800 Super.
- Yong Seong Investment previously controlled 66.96% of the Company. Yong Seong Investment had purchased 1,191,000 shares at an average price of $0.823/share (total 178,800,000 shares in the capital of the company).
Yong Seong Investment is held by Management.
- Mr Lee Koh Yong (Executive Chairman), Mr Lee Hock Seong (Brother of the CEO and Executive Chairman) and Mr Lee Cheng Chye (CEO) hold a 28%, 28% and 24% stake in Yong Seong Investment, respectively.
How do we view this?
Previous time Management purchased shares in the Company was February 2016.
- Yong Seong Investment had purchased 1,461,000 shares over two days at an average price of $0.437. The share price had subsequently rallied more than 150% within two years, as at February 2018.
Expect to see a price floor at S$0.82.
- We believe this purchase by Management sends a positive signal to the market that they are willing to buy at this price level. As such, we expect to see a price floor at S$0.82. Since our previous report last week (Sept. 3), the share price has pared about half of its fall, following the surprise 4Q FY18 loss.
Investment Action: Maintain BUY, unchanged target price of $1.03
- The outlook is positive. New projects of the sludge treatment facility and Pasir Ris-Bedok public waste collection contract start contributing in 1Q FY19.
- Our target price gives an implied FY19e forward P/E multiple of 13.0x. As FY19e is transitional, we think that FY20e is a better representation of a normalised full year. We estimate 8.18 cents EPS and 7.84 cents free cash flow per share in FY20e.
- The current price of 86.5 cents/share is 11.0x of FY20e free cash flow per share and gives a 2.3% dividend yield (based on our FY20e assumption of 2 cents).

Uber and Lyft are convenient but they may not be worth the cost. The rideshare companies have a long history of questionable conduct and failing to protect passengers and drivers. Now, a woman who was injured in an accident after an Uber ride is accusing the company of trying to take away her right to seek compensation after accidentally clicking on an email.
Uber will do what they can to avoid liability when drivers and passengers are injured in car accidents. This includes trying to classify drivers as contractors, making passengers sign away their legal rights, and refusing to compensate injured passengers. Do not leave your claim at the hands of large tech companies and talk to a local attorney who can help you get compensation for your injuries.
Dropped Off in the Middle of the Road
Emily Wu was a college student in New York, training to be a nurse. Like a lot of young people in big cities, she relied on rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft to get around. On July 25, 2020, her Uber driver stopped in a traffic lane to let her out. She tried to look both ways but was suddenly struck by an SUV. She suffered a severe road rash, lost most of her front teeth, and injured her knee.
After requiring multiple surgeries, including multiple dental implants, Wu sought compensation from Uber. Her claim against the company alleged that the driver unsafely let her out on the road and failed to drop her off near the sidewalk. Months later, she got a mass email from Uber about updated terms and conditions, and clicked through so she could continue using the app for rides. However, the company is now claiming that clicking through means she lost her rights to a court trial for compensation.
Arbitration Instead of Rights to a Jury
The updated terms and conditions, hidden among pages of dense information, retroactively waived her rights to a trial. Instead, her prior claim would have to be brought before an arbitrator. Why arbitration? Arbitration is generally much more business-friendly. Arbitrators often award much smaller damages than a jury of your peers might. Arbitration is also much cheaper for corporations compared to a jury trial.
There are also public interests in keeping these types of cases in the courts instead of behind closed doors. The discussions and terms of arbitration are generally not part of the public record. Another problem with arbitration is that it impairs class action lawsuits where multiple defendants have similar claims against the same company. This makes it harder for people to get justice when they only have minor damages.
Common Causes of Rideshare Accidents
Dropping off passengers in the middle of an active traffic lane is dangerous. Unfortunately, for Uber riders in cities like Denver and New York, drivers don't always want to wait to find a safe place to pull over. They may stop in the middle of traffic to drop someone off or pick them up. This creates a danger for passengers, cyclists, and other drivers.
If you were injured in a rideshare driver accident in Denver, talk to our experienced Colorado auto accident attorneys who will fight to get the maximum compensation available for your injuries. Contact us today for a free consultation.

Tribal Warfare/China Salesman is bad even by my low standards; Seagal is wasted in a pointless role and Tyson is generally quite terrible. Avoid for the sake of your sanity.
Plot: Yan Jian, a young Chinese IT engineer who volunteers to go to North Africa and help the company he works for to win a competition. The winner can own the right to control the communication between south and north. French spy Michael works for the West. His boss ordered him to go to the North Africa and win the competition, and they can control the great mineral resources of Africa. He hired the best mercenary in Africa whose name is Lauder and a former general Kabbah to help him. Yan has discovered their conspiracy, he is the only one who can stop them.
Review: Do you hear that sound? That's the sound of the bottom of the barrel being scraped in yet another Steven Seagal Straight to DVD dud. I was actually rooting for this movie as I thought the premise sounded interesting and the addition of Mike Tyson to the cast promised a battle for the ages. Yeah… that didn't happen; instead we get Tyson vs Seagal's body double in one of the dullest fight scenes of the year. Tyson himself isn't about win any Oscars but he does at least have some choice dialogue like "dethroy them all" which was the most entertaining aspect of the movie.
As expected Seagal is also only in a small and pointless role and the main protagonist is the China Salesman called Yan Jian (Li Dong-xue); if I were him I'd pissed that I didn't even get mentioned on the DVD packaging considering he is the lead. It's all "Seagal vs. Tyson" in big writing. Lies.
Anyway, I liked how Yan Jian Li doesn't have fighting skills and is just an ordinary man trying to overcome extraordinary circumstances using his brains however, I had trouble understanding what he (and several cast members) was saying and I never cared what was going on with any of the characters.
The acting (and dubbing) in general is hilariously bad and I was laughing unintentionally at several "dramatic" moments; some of it was genuinely amateurish but really it adds to the entertainment factor. The script was appalling too with unnatural dialogue so it's no wonder some of the cast were struggling with it.
There are a few decent set-pieces with real tanks and explosions about half way through but then the movie drags on and despite having a runtime of an hour and 46 minutes it felt like several days.
There was the potential for the story to be interesting but it got overly convoluted at times and hard to follow mostly because I was barely paying attention which isn't a good sign. There were also too many supporting characters whose motives I didn't even care about so by the end I had completely tuned out.
Also, why do they say China Salesman? At no point was he selling anything made of China nor was he selling China the country; Tribal Warfare was a better title but no matter what you call it you still can't polish a turd.
Overall, Tribal Warfare/China Salesman so wishes it was telling this epic tale of heroism but in reality it is wasting your life and slowly boring you to death; I wish I could say there was something to recommend but I'm afraid you really should avoid it even if you're a die hard Seagal fan.

05 April 2019
By Ellie Palmer
The legendary Croatian pianist is due to release a brand new album this autumn.
Sony Classical has signed an exclusive long-term recording contract with legendary pianist Ivo Pogorelich. Scheduled for release in autumn 2019, Pogorelich has turned to Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Sonata in B flat minor, Op. 36 as the centrepiece for his first new project, bookended by Beethoven's Piano Sonatas No. 22 in F major, Op. 54, and No. 24 in F sharp major, Op. 78.
Pogorelich first came to the classical music world's attention when he was eliminated in the third round of the 1980 International Chopin Piano Competition. Martha Argerich was on the jury, proclaiming him a 'genius', and she was so dismayed he didn't make it into the finals that she resigned from the jury in protest.
Pogorelich performs Chopin's Scherzo No3 Op 39 at the 1980 Chopin Competition.
Deutsche Grammophon saw his talent and signed him up shortly after the Competition, becoming an exclusive DG artist in 1982. His recordings from DG divided his critics continuously. He often went against what the composer notated, however, it was always with a stupendous technique to support him.
Pianist editor Erica Worth often heard him in recital, including at the Grafenegg Festival in Austria in the mid-2000s where, during his performance of Beethoven's last Sonata Op 111, the festival's director walked out during his idiosyncratic performance. His following performance of Mily Balakirev's Islamey was earth-shatteringly amazing.
Of his new collaboration with Sony Classical, Ivo Pogorelich said, "I am very glad that Sony expressed interest in my current work. Many years ago the founder of the company, Mr. Akio Morita, presented me with a gift - a remastered set of the original recordings of Sergei Rachmaninoff. On my first Sony recording – soon to be released – I play a work by Sergei Rachmaninoff, his Sonata No. 2 in B flat minor, Op. 36 and I am very pleased by this association!"
Bogdan Roscic, President, Sony Classical added: "Ivo Pogorelich's discography is one of the seven wonders of recorded music, and I have been trying to add to it for a long time now. We couldn't be happier that he has decided to go back to the studio and Sony Classical will be releasing his new work starting later this year."
Pogorelich's 1983 DG release is one of his most famous.
The Rachmaninoff recording was made in the concert hall in Raiding, Austria, next to Franz Liszt's birthplace, the Beethoven at Schloss Elmau in Germany.

Our Homage
In 1964, Luis Barragan published an astonishing design for the city of Lomas Verdes located on the outskirt of Mexico City, but the project was not realized as he dreamed. In Archivo's garden next to his former studio, we propose to create its homage.
It is a model in a shape of scaled fragments of his unrealized design, and digital visualization of the entire un-built city is superimposed over the model on tablet computers driven by Augmented Reality technology. A visitor to Archivo's garden will experience Barragan's dream city by walking directly on this scale model as well as by looking at additional virtual buildings and details through the hand-held device.
At the same time, fabrics of the scale model of the city serves as benches for events and beverage kiosk of Archivo's café.
