Soulcalibur V Announced! Trailer & Character Art
"Transcending History and the World, A Tale of Souls and Swords, Eternally Retold..." Brace yourself for the return of one of the greatest fighting game franchises.
It has been three years since the last entry in the Soul series (discounting the spin-off title, Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, exclusively on PSP) the other much-beloved fighting game series from Namco (with the other one undoubtedly being the Tekken series). In Soulcalibur IV, released in 2008 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, we had a pleasant surprise crossover experience with the run-in interference from our favorite Sith Lord Darth Vader on the PlayStation 3 and Yoda on the Xbox 360, as well as Galen Marek/The Apprentice character from the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Just what can we expect in Soulcalibur V?
Announced during a press conference at Namco Bandai's "Level Up Dubai 2011" event, Soulcalibur V, the sixth installment of the series is currently in development for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release in 2012.
Without further ado, hit the jump to check out the awesome (as always) trailer for the game.
Just a few days ago, we have seen game director Daishi Odashima giving us some really intriguing details on the respective breast measurements of the ladies in the series. Ever since the announcement, Odashima has been tweeting incessantly with numerous interesting information on the much anticipated sequel.
First and foremost, Soulcalibur V picks up 17 years after the events of Soulcalibur IV, and will be featuring an all-new protagonist.
Here's the first image of Patroklos, the son of Sophitia Alexandra (series veteran and resident Greek bimbo warrior)and Rothion (well, an unknown I guessed).
And his big, bad sword.
And as expected, Siegfried Schtauffen, the series' long-tortured protagonist who happened to be an emo dark knight with a cause, will be sporting a more grizzled look due to the 17 years gap between the title. Hit the jump and click on the image to check him out in high resolution.
While more details for the sequel were promised for this June's E3 event, stay tuned to Odashima's Twitter page for more breaking info. For example, he has just tweeted the below image earlier today.
And there's other interesting tidbits at his Twitter page, liked when he tweeted, Actually, I asked the company if we can call the game "Soul Edge 2" but they said "no".
Now that's an intriguing thought to sit on, especially when the series is heading into a nearly two decades jump. For the uninformed, Soul Edge, released in 1996 for the arcades and PlayStation (Soul Blade in USA, Europe and Australia), is the first title in the series, followed by Soulcalibur in 1998 for the arcades and Dreamcast. Here's a trip down memory lane with the classic opening CG for the 1996 title.
Brings a tear to my eye everything I watch this.

Underwire Bra a Terrorist Threat?
In Salon's Broadsheet today, there's an interesting piece about a new security issue: "Along with procedures guarding against explosive breast milk, we now have a new national threat: the underwire bra."
According to the Associated Press, Lori Plato set off security alarms when trying to enter an Idaho federal courthouse last month: U.S. Marshals Service not only asked Plato to remove her bra but gave her no viable options for doing so with any measure of privacy… "I asked if I could go into the bathroom because they didn't have a privacy screen and no women security officers were available. They said, 'No.'"
Have security measures just gone too far with their violation of a person's (or a woman's) privacy?
I've personally experienced the minor embarrassment of having my underwire set off airport security alarms, and I have tolerated the rigorous pat-down that resulted. But asking a woman to remove her bra infront of a group of US Marshals and numerous strangers seems a little extreme. It sems to be a form of gender-based humiliation, if you ask me:
In 2003 a Northwest Airlines flight attendant sued the Massachusetts Port Authority after her underwire bra triggered an airport metal detector in Logan Airport, and security guards searched her and compelled her to partially undress…In a 2004 story from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, several women complained of being traumatized by intrusive security searches.
There's even something called the frequent flyer bra, created by a Japenese company that promises the undergarment won't set off any bells and whistles when you fly.
If you read the last issue of Shameless Magazine (or if you have boobs) you'll already know that it can be rather difficult to find a bra without underwire and padding. My solution? Go commando next time you pass a security checkpoint. Or better yet: (One woman) whose belt was setting off the alarm took her pants off altogether.

Paul Pogba is set to return from a brief absence as Manchester United looks to topple Sevilla in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash.
Manchester United return to the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in four seasons, when they travel to the Estadio Ramón Sanchéz Pizjuán on Wednesday evening to face Sevilla.
United come into the game in jubilant spirits, having comfortably dispatched Huddersfield 2-0 on Saturday afternoon to book their place in the quarterfinal of the FA Cup.
Meanwhile, hosts Sevilla recorded a 2-1 victory away at struggling Las Palmas to move up to fifth in La Liga.
Sevilla have already been pitted against English opposition in this season's European campaign, as they played out two entertaining draws with Liverpool during the group stages prior to Christmas.
Team News
Sevilla have received a double injury boost as playmaker and former United transfer target Ever Banega returned to training from a hamstring injury this week, while winger Joaquin Correa faces a late fitness test.
Former Manchester City wide man Nolito has also returned to training following a long-term injury layoff, and could play a part on Wednesday night.
United duo Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera have been forced to sit out their side's last two outings due to injury, but are expected to return for this clash. Paul Pogba should also be available after recovering from illness which sidelined him for Saturday's FA Cup clash.
Meanwhile, United boss José Mourinho has confirmed the injury absences of both Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo.
The good news for United fans comes in the form of Alexis Sanchez, who is eligible to make his European debut for the Red Devils due to Arsenal's lack of involvement in this season's Champions League.
Key Battle
Steven N'Zonzi vs Paul Pogba
With United likely to sit back and look for opportunities on the counterattack, subduing the creative spark of Paul Pogba could be crucial in denying the Red Devils a vital away goal.
This job will largely be the responsibility of fellow Frenchman - and former Stoke City midfield anchor - Steven N'Zonzi. N'Zonzi will know Pogba's game well having spent time with the French national team, and will look to this knowledge to halt Pogba's surging forward runs.
Sevilla's clashes with Liverpool produced 10 goals during the group stage, however Mourinho's approach to this tie will differ to that of Jurgen Klopp's.
United's managerial maestro is a master of the two-legged tie, and will be far more content to soak up Sevilla pressure before looking to strike on the counter-attack. Sevilla, meanwhile, will be desperate to take a positive result to Old Trafford if they're to give themselves a chance of progressing.
The Spaniards will likely take the game to United and their performances in the group stage prove their nous in front of goal - having scored 12 - however such expansive tactics could potentially leave themselves vulnerable to the pace of Sanchez, Martial or Rashford on the break.
Prediction: Sevilla 1-1 Manchester United

I suspect that citizens of our Guyana need to be reminded of the status of all Presidents they elected since 1980.
You see, dear countryman, article 89 of the Republic's Constitution asserts in unambiguous language that the country's President is, at the minimum, three things. He is Head of State. He is the Supreme Executive Authority over and above all other "authorities" except, I suspect the church. Thirdly he is Commander-in-Chief of the country's "armed forces." Coincidentally the current His Excellency happens to be a retired military officer. This columnist-citizen holds the view that this President – who also constitutes a critical portion of the Parliament – thrives on his military training which compels him to inquire into various issues. To me both his academic and political acumen are used to decide what inquiries should be established and just how to utilize those inquiries' recommendations.
So since his May 2015 election this President, using his constitutional "Supreme Executive Authority", has caused numerous Commissions of Inquiry to be established. The jury must still be out assessing the recent conclusions and remedies suggested. And like Donald Trump our President is bent on keeping certain specific Elections Campaign promises.
With a seeming propensity for naming things he has christened (2002-2008) "The Troubles." Somewhat strange, definitely quaint that. Now enter the series of inquiries which His Excellency vowed he would have done whilst on his 2014/2015 campaign trail.
What "closure"? What justice? Politics?
Inquiries, inquisitions, inquests by Commissions, coroners, Tribunals are usually meant to find out publicly and expertly, how and why significant offences and tragedies occurred Courtroom-type procedures hope to identify reasons, methods, perpetrators, victims. But what's this talk of "closure" attributed to the current inquiries and their findings? Closure?
It is my view, Frankly Speaking that real closure and comfort reside in one's religious faith. Does not your Omnipotent God offer solace, peace, even forgiveness? I suspect that the leading Green House Spokesman who often speaks about these investigations providing "closure" is really offering hope to the dead victims' relations; some form of final justice.
And again, Justice? What is that too? "Justice" comes from Just. The specific definition for that "just" is "morally or legally right" or "reasonable, deserved or merited." I submit that justice is not mauby-and-tennis rolls; it doesn't mean that you get a result that you think is right. Justice has to do with what is fair: (you might not ever be pleased with some finding or verdict). So now you work out just what is "Justice for all."
In this society wherein the President speaks of "Jagdeo–era killings" and "Troubles" the scent of politics will waft over all of these types of inquiries. Perhaps because of all the expressions of expectations coming from His Excellency himself. Check the following quotes to discern what His Excellency is hoping for.
Term of Reference-and expectations
The numerous 2002-2008 criminal-enterprise inquiries have and will have specific terms of reference hopefully to guide the impartial expert Commissioners to achieve objectives. But His Excellency has been fulsome and articulate in what he expects.
I quoted a letter to this newspaper a few columns ago wherein the writer stated that perception about these inquisitions might just become reality. He also wondered whether the chosen commissioners will seek to satisfy His Excellency. I too wonder …
Listen to His Excellency: "The Troubles occurred during the darkest period in our country's Post-colonial history… it revealed (???) complicity between security services and drug lords and the infiltration of rogue elements into the police (It rendered the security services vulnerable exposing their deficiencies…"
"The lesson of The Troubles must guide security reforms… the inquiry into the Lindo Creek massacre-and others-are intended to improve the force's administration and operations. They are not intended to demoralise or destabilise the force". Presidential intentions and expectations!
Since January 2016, His Excellency had declared that: "The last administration never bothered to account to the nation for the hundreds of lives that were lost through criminal violence… the agony, anger and alienation caused by violence against citizens, especially the innocent and the young still simmer…"
I ask (always)? Who were these hundreds killed? Who kept count? Are the real criminals and bandits included? Does the president's emotive language accommodate any hint of ethnic motives by the Jagdeo outfit?
You see friends, whilst I understand the need to identify the authors of the period's mayhem, I see old wounds opening that really will bring no closure. Some folks will experience what we call "satisfaction" – when the findings please or suit them.
The drama has already begun from those called to testify, Stand by for numerous more movie-like drama running the gamut of emotions. Politically Dr Jagdeo, scared or not, could turn the inquiries into strategic witch hunts by this government. The administration could also use its Troubles inquiries to intimidate, even prosecute certain opposition politicians. What will the bulk of our population believe or conclude? Will each inquisition sharpen division? Discuss…
Ponder today
●1) It's staggering, the likely inquiries to come: Kitty (2002) Lamaha Gardens, (2002) Bourda (2002), Buxton-Friendship (2003), Prashad Nagar (2003), Agricola/Eccles (2006), LBI (2006), Bagotstown-Eccles (2006) Blackbush Polder (2006), Bartica (2008) Lusignan (2008).
His Excellency says that all these killings "require investigation". Inquiries like peas! So you realise that there could be as many perpetrators as there were victims?
● 1B) How is our total security strategy along the borders coming along? Our Militia Reserve, our Brazilian allies assisting?
● 2) Name 5 companies advertising jobs in the burgeoning oil-and-gas sector.
● 3) Coming next week: Some ladies of Linden.
Til next week!

A Time to Pay (TTP) arrangement is an agreement with HMRC to spread your tax payments over a number of months rather than when they fall due. It can be an option for businesses experiencing temporary cash flow problems, but which are technically-speaking not yet insolvent.
HMRC may agree to a Time to Pay arrangement if your business has fallen behind with PAYE, NIC, VAT or corporation tax payments, or if you're expecting problems with meeting one or more upcoming tax commitments. With Time to Pay, you might be able to avoid late payment penalties, but will still be charged interest on overdue tax.
Time to Pay arrangements are open to all types of businesses including Sole Traders, Partnerships and Limited Companies.
A Time to Pay arrangement isn't suitable for everyone. It's essentially a short-term solution that provides breathing space to get your company's finances back on track and overcome a temporary cash-flow crisis. If HMRC suspect there are deeper financial issues, or you're just trying to avoid or put off your tax liabilities, they won't agree to a Time to Pay arrangement and will take immediate steps to recover any tax already owing.
HMRC are more likely to enter into a Time to Pay arrangement if:
We'll help you decide whether or not a Time to Pay arrangement is an option for your business. If Time to Pay isn't suitable, we'll talk you through alternative solutions and how they work. These might include a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA), which lets you repay all of your debts over a longer time period. Alternatively, if your current business cannot be saved, you may need to look at a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL).
If HMRC agree to a Time to Pay arrangement, you'll be required to make monthly payments to repay the full amount of tax owing. Most arrangements last between 3 and 12 months; but in exceptional cases HMRC can agree to extend payment terms beyond one year.
You'll be expected to start making payments by Direct Debit immediately, so it's important that you don't expect a payment break. And whilst your arrangement will be tailored to your individual business and its needs, note that HMRC will never agree to reduce your tax liability under any circumstances.
Once a Time to Pay arrangement is in place, you must stick to its terms and make all your payments on time. If you don't, the arrangement will be cancelled and HMRC may take formal debt recovery action against your company. A key condition of any Time to Pay arrangement will be that all future liabilities are paid on time, as well as your payments into the Time to Pay arrangement.
If we've agreed with you that Time to Pay is a good option for your business, Bridgewood will negotiate with HMRC on your behalf. We deal with HMRC every day and fully understand how they operate, so you'll have the best possible chance of reaching a realistic agreement that suits both parties.
Your Bridgewood debt advisor will work with you to create a Time to Pay proposal. This will include:
As well as considering our proposal, HMRC will also look at your company type and industry sector to assess your future viability and decide whether you present an acceptable level of risk. In some cases, they may require further information to make this decision.
Time to Pay arrangements are open to sole traders, partnerships and limited companies. Some industry sectors present a higher risk than others and are therefore less likely to be approved for an arrangement. Please ask your Bridgewood debt advisor for further details.
Yes, but you stand a better chance of reaching a realistic agreement with HMRC if you let us act for you. This is because we have in-depth knowledge and experience of how HMRC work and how proposals for Time to Pay arrangements should be presented.
The important thing to remember here is that HMRC require the highest possible payment amounts over the shortest possible duration. As a result, most arrangements are for 3 to 6 months, although you may be allowed up to a year. Arrangements longer than 12 months are extremely rare. So if you can't clear your tax bills within this time, we may need to look at a different solution, such as a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA).
HMRC may cancel the arrangement under certain circumstances. For example, if they suspect you've provided them with false information, if your circumstances change during the arrangement, or if you miss one or more payments. If your arrangement is cancelled, HMRC may require the total outstanding debt to be settled immediately, plus penalties.
HMRC may agree to change or extend your Time to Pay arrangement due to an unforeseen change in your circumstances. However, this is rare and depends on the level of risk posed by your business and whether you still meet the Time to Pay criteria.
If you miss a tax payment, the Real Time Information (RTI) systems introduced in 2013 mean that HMRC will know straightaway. They will view any failure to meet your tax liabilities as a sign of insolvency and won't hesitate to take formal debt recovery action, such as issuing a winding-up petition. If you're behind with your NIC payments, HMRC could also issue you with a personal liability notice. This is why it's so important to be proactive with HMRC and let them know as soon as any problems arise.

LeoVegas tests out wireless headphones with Manchester silent disco
With the new iPhone 7 taking over from its predecessor as the priciest version of the handset to date, mobile casino LeoVegas carried out a study to find out just how much Brits are spending on the latest tech.
According to the research, it would have cost a staggering £6070 to buy the highest-spec handset each time an updated version of the iPhone was released, however, back in 2007 when the iPhone was first introduced, the 8GB device would have set you back just £269. Looking at today's figures, that's 241% less than the recently announced iPhone 7 Plus, coming in at £919.
So why do we spend so much to have the latest technology? The study revealed that one in five of us feel social pressure from our peers to have the hottest tech at our fingertips, with three quarters (74%) of those surveyed admitting to starting a new mobile phone contract before the end of their current deal. However, 40% claimed that they buy the latest tech simply because they have a genuine interest in new smartphones and gadgets.
Surprisingly, only 15% of those surveyed said that they noticed a big difference in the features available on new mobile phone handsets prior to the iPhone 7 launch. However, after much speculation, Apple confirmed at August's launch that a major update would be the removal of the headphone jack that could not go unnoticed.
In support of Apple's update, LeoVegas took to the streets of Manchester to encourage people to embrace wireless music and the freedom it offers users. The gaming company handed out Bluetooth headphones to passers by who took part in a spontaneous silent disco.
Shenaly Amin, UK Country Manager at LeoVegas, said: "We wanted to show our support for Apple's latest update by demonstrating just how much fun you can have with wireless headphones. As Monday is notoriously glum, we took to the streets of Manchester to bring some fun to the city.
"We are a mobile first company, so it's key for us to find out what people think of the latest handsets and make sure we're offering our customers the best experience possible and that means embracing mobile technology as much as possible."
LeoVegas is encouraging people to show how they find play in the everyday by Tweeting @LeoVegas using the hashtag #everydayplay for the chance to win a set of Bluetooth headphones.

Results based on an independent survey of 1007 UK residents.
iPhone costs based on RRP when purchasing from Apple at the time of release.

Here's another combination post to make sure you stay informed about the many things we come across as we seek out interesting blog posts. And we will get to it, but no. Gelotophobia is not a fear of gelatin.
Aha! Sudden insights or "epiphany learning"
You've probably had those rare moments of insight when you are suddenly able to see a solution to a vexing problem. Scientists call them moments of epiphany and they only recently discovered a way to study them. As it happens, the way to study this sort of learning requires eye tracking and pupil dilation software. Apparently, when scientists observe that participant's pupils are dilating, they know the participant is both paying close attention and learning. What they found was that once the learning had ended (i.e., the 'Eureka!' moment had passed), pupil dilation decreased. They concluded that epiphany learning only occurs when you are thinking and focusing on the feedback you are given about your performance rather than looking to see what others are doing.
Secrets you keep and the development of the Common Secrets Questionnaire
If you've ever wondered what sorts of secrets people keep, wonder no more! Columbia university researchers have done this snooping for you and the ever-helpful Neuroskeptic blog has listed them in order of frequency. Sex plays a big role in secrets as do many other common issues like theft, ambition, money, trauma, mental health, and concerns about relationships.
Here, courtesy of those researchers, is a secret to well-being: Do not be preoccupied with your secret concerns—the more your mind wanders to them, the lower your overall well-being. Here's a link to the Common Secrets Questionnaire if you would like to take it yourself.
Incivility in academia, and in medical offices
The Chronicle of Higher Education recently had an article on incivility at work that tells us this sort of behavior remains quite common is the US, Canada and Britain according to a 30-page survey completed by more than 830 people across the three countries. More than 64% of the respondents said they had been the target of faculty incivility and 77% had seen others targeted. Unfortunately, reporting the behavior didn't always get results. Of the 71% who reported it, half said the behavior continued. In short, academics don't just think and teach in universities—some of them use their power to bully and intimidate others.
Unfortunately, incivility is not just rife in academia but also in medical office — not just doctors, but by nursing staff and patients as well. The New York Times recently documented this and ended their article with a clear statement about the importance of civility for healing:
"Rudeness affects your spirit, your morale, your connection to your job, and your effectiveness in that job. It gets in the way of health, and it gets in the way of healing."
Gelotophobia makes you think all laughter is bad laughter
We've heard a lot about laughter being the best medicine and its role in extending our lives and boosting the immune system. But not for the gelotophobic among us according to this article from Scientific American. Gelotophobes (as the article refers to people with this phobia) are phobic about being laughed at and are prone to think any sort of laughter is directed (maliciously) at them. The good news is that gelotophobia should respond to the same kind of therapies as do other phobias (if the person will actually pursue treatment).

Today we start another week of the blogging marathon and my theme is Mango Mania. When I sat down to make a list of recipes to cook for this theme and all the mango recipes I posted thus far, I was astonished that I posted only three mango recipes; no bake mango pie, mango corn salad and mango chocolate cake. I was surprised I blogged so few mango recipes! After last week's marathon, before I started cooking for this week, I asked Mr. U if he wanted sweet or savory mango dishes and not to my surprise he said sweet/desserts. So for this week, I will be posting sweet dishes. To some extent I was happy he chose sweet as all the recipes I had listed down for this category are easy. I have not cooked or clicked anything for the blog in almost a month and am going through a bloggers block. Despite a month's break, still haven't gotten back my cooking and clicking for the blog mojo yet. I am hoping I will get it back soon, so that I can head start the preparation for the next mega marathon
Last month I made Shrikhand hoping to use that sweet for Maharashtra but I ended up posting sabudana vada instead. When I made shrikhand, I felt adding some fruits to that sweetened yogurt would have been awesome. This time I added some mango pulp to make this delicious mango flavored shrikhand. We liked it lot. The recipe is such an easy and versatile recipe. I adapted Nupur's shrikhand recipe to make this mango shrikhand. Mango pulp and sugar can be adjusted to taste. Traditionally yogurt is hung in a cheese cloth for few hours to get thick yogurt and I used Greek yogurt instead.
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
- 500gms Non Fat Greek Yogurt
- 2-4 strands Saffron
- ½ – 1 tbsp. Milk
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar
- ¾ – 1 cup sweetened Mango Pulp (I used Swad Kesar brand)
- ¼ tsp. Cardamom Seeds Powdered
- 1 tbsp. Pistachios chopped or sliced
- 1 – 1 ½ tbsp. Sliced Almonds
- Take saffron and milk in small bowl and microwave it for 20 seconds. Milk should be hot. Keep it aside for the saffron to soak in the milk.
- Take yogurt in a bowl, add sugar and, mix well until sugar dissolves and is well incorporated into yogurt.
- Add mango pulp and mix it.
- Add saffron, cardamom powder and mix.
- Taste the shrikhand, adjust sugar and mango pulp.
- Chill the shrikhand until ready to serve.
- Before serving, garnish it with sliced almonds and pistachios.
- Mango: I used store bought mango pulp but it can also be made at home by pureeing mango pieces. I used 1 cup and we liked it as it is. But for more mango flavor add another ¼ cup pulp.
- Saffron: I soaked saffron in milk for few minutes and added it to yogurt. I would suggest soaking saffron for 15 – 20 minutes in hot milk and once the saffron flavor is infused into milk, remove the saffron strands and then add the saffron infused milk to yogurt.
Recipes I posted this month in 2008, in 2009, in 2010, in 2011, in 2012 and in 2013.

Theresa May is to call for "concrete measures" to ensure girls in Commonwealth countries spend at least 12 years in education.
The prime minister will pledge £212m, which Downing Street said would allow almost one million more girls to go to school.
Too often they are forced out by "discrimination, poverty, or simply the expectations of society", she will say.
It comes ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in London.
Formerly known as the British Commonwealth, the Commonwealth of Nations is a loose association of former British colonies and current dependencies, along with some countries that have no historical ties to Britain.
The CHOGM summit is held every two years.
Announcing the £212m from the foreign aid budget, she will urge Commonwealth nations to agree to the 12-year goal, calling for "concrete measures that will allow it to become a reality".
She will also focus on the fight against malaria, saying the Commonwealth has a "particular duty" to tackle the disease.
"We cannot, in good conscience, talk about the young people of the world, about securing a legacy for our children and grandchildren, without tackling a disease that, worldwide, kills one of them every two minutes," she will say.

Agrium: TD Newcrest Raises to Buy, Prefers to Potash
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of fertilizer makerAgrium (AGU) are off 2 cents at $59.62 after TD Newcrest analyst Paul D'Amico raised his rating on the stock to "Buy" from "Hold" while simultaneously lowering his price target to $72 from $74.
Agrium yesterday reported Q1 revenue below expectations and a net loss where analysts were forecasting profit.
Agrium's profit or loss is "messy," D'Amico notes, with hedging losses and stock-based compensation items, and a 17-cent-per-share tax "recovery." However, he regards the pro-forma number of 41 cents as generally beating the consensus 33-cent estimate.
However, the important thing for D'Amico is that weakness in the retail segment of fertilizer sales was because of inventory overhang in fungicides that brought down margin in that segment. That is being worked off, giving him greater confidence Agrium will meet his Q2 EPS estimate of $2.79.
D'Amico lowered his EPS estimate for this year to $4.04, from $4.87, but most of that is to reflect the reported dip in profit in Q1.
He thinks the stock is still a better buy than Potash (POT), trading at just 6 times his projected Ebitda next year, versus 9.8 times for Potash.
That discount should narrow overtime as investors come to view the relative "diversity" in Agrium's business, D'Amico writes.
His price target goes down due to higher net debt forecasted next year.
Potash, meanwhile, is the favored by the broader market today, rising $1.54, or 1.5%, to $103.68.
Correction: A previous version of this post mistakenly referenced "Q1" in D'Amico's forecast for quarterly earnings. In fact, he was referring to Q2's forecast. My apologies for the error.

Government agencies on track for online
- 06 August, 2001 10:58
Federal Government departments and agencies are on track to have all appropriate services online by the end of 2001, according to the latest Government Online survey.
The survey found that as at March 2001, 93 per cent of federal agencies will meet the Prime Minister's 1997 Investing for Growth online deadline for appropriate services.
Senator Ian Campbell, parliamentary secretary to the Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts, said a small number of agencies were finding some elements of the Government Online Strategy "challenging", but progress was being made.
According to a recent Accenture report, Rhetoric versus reality: Closing the Gap, and assessment by the Economist Intelligence Unit, Australia is in the top tier of nations as far as e-government and e-readiness are concerned.

The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides an opportunity to rethink information security, according to Palo Alto Networks.
"Hopefully the new regulation expected to be in force by spring 2018 will prove to a catalyst for change," said Greg Day, the security firm's chief security officer for Europe.
"It is time for most organisations to bite the bullet, to let go of what has worked in the past, and to transition to a more modern approach to information security."
According to Day, most organisations are still trying to address a "digital problem" with "analogue solutions".
What worked in the past, he said, simply no longer scales, because many attacks are automated and work at computer speed.
"Organisations need to move to security systems that respond in near real time and eliminate multiple alerts relating to the same thing and false positive alerts," he said.

When all decisions in life is determined by others
can you even call it your own?
If everything is predestined and karma all powerful
why even placate the Gods?
We all should lead lives as it pleases us
but what happens when your pleasure lies in pleasing others?
If neither questions nor answers come from inside
Why bother thinking at all?
Well all said and done, one has two choices
either to live in the illusion that we determine our lives
or accept & resent that we are mere spectators of the grand play called 'la vie'.

The New England RV Dealers Association is encouraging members to highlight RV Professional Certification Week, March 11-17, by featuring their certified technicians during the event organized by the Society of Certified RV Professionals and the Mike Molino RV Learning Center.
"If you plan a special event next week let me know, and we will be happy to promote it for you on our Facebook page and our Wednesday evening 'RVing in New England' Facebook television show," says NERVDA Executive Director Bob Zagami in a message to members this week. "Let's elevate the importance of technician recognition and training in 2018."
Fixed‐ops professionals can earn certification as parts managers, parts specialists, service writers/advisors, service managers and warranty administrators through the Mike Molino RV Learning Center, which offers testing, certification and recertification.
"As part of RV Professional Certification Week, we hope you take time to recognize the certified technicians in some way at your dealership," Zagami says. "These men and women are the key to providing a wonderful RVing experience for our customers. This is also a good time to look at your own internal training programs and external training programs, such as our NERVDA events, PRVCA (Pennsylvania Recreational Vehicle and Camping Association) learning programs, the FRVTA (Florida RV Trade Association) online education programs, manufacturer-specific training and supplier/distributor training programs."
Zagami notes that during the 25th anniversary of RVIA technician training programs there are only 2,700 certified RV technicians and 500 fixed op professionals nationally.
"Depending on whose numbers you use, we have approximately 1,500 RV dealerships in the country," he says. "That works out to only one or two certified technicians per dealership. As an industry, we have to do better. And we will."

Sidebottom Family Crest
As anybody 'normal' does on a Friday night near to midnight when the mind starts to churn out random phrases etc to type into various search engines blah blah blah, I happened to stumble across this page by accident of course, Sidebottom Family Crest (not that anybody searches their own Surname for beneficial bragging rights etc).
I wonder if anybody has walked into a tattoo artist's shop and asked for their 'so-called family crest' as a tattoo and had random military regalia, parts of suits of armour, crests and the odd animals head(sometimes with an implement skewered thru it, like a shovel or a brush,) chucked in for good measure scrawled across their body and then proceeded to present the said doodle at the peak of an arguement when their surname has been brought into question to prove their loyalty to the family name and honour?... Well they have, ..... to discover the lost world and it's inhabitants click on the link in the tags that says tattoo...
Piss taking apart it does state that the family name derives from Lancashire like my dad's family, so maybe the people at house of names aren't just there for the nasty things in life like a blocked drain or a leaking gutter.....
"I were reight baht that saddle tho', be like sittin' on a razor blade..."
Have any other readers ever pondered this sort of thing before, and if not why?
Sidebottom, family crest,
tattoo, Lancashire, house of names

Will Air India sale fetch government anything meaningful?3 min read . Updated: 30 Mar 2018, 07:33 AM IST
The only hope for the government is that buyers get into a bidding war over the Air India sale, and prop up valuations
The only hope for the government is that buyers get into a bidding war over the Air India sale, and prop up valuations
The Air India sale has been code-named Project Royal, although the plain truth is that the national airline isn't the king of Indian aviation. The company has run losses for years and is laden with debt. Even so, like its affable mascot Maharajah, there are things Air India brings to the table that will attract some buying interest.
More importantly, the government has decided to take over roughly 50% of the company's debt on its own books, along with a smattering of non-core assets such as Air India's regional airline operations, maintenance and repair, and parts of its ground handling operations.
With half of the debt load off its back, the new look Air India may well start generating cash profits soon after its new owner takes over. In fiscal year 2017 (FY17), profit before depreciation and tax, a rough proxy for cash profit, stood at a negative Rs1,420 crore. Assuming 50% savings on interest costs, annual cash profit would have been Rs830 crore in that year.
Along with the company's domestic and international operations under the Air India and Air India Express brands, the buyer will also take home a 50% stake in a joint venture with SATS Ltd. The venture provides ground handling and cargo handling services at five airports, including three metros, and is profitable.
"The national carrier has the benefit of possessing more wide-bodied aircraft and a network that has rights on superior time slots and routes in the international sector, compared to peers such as Jet Airways Ltd," says Mahantesh Sabarad, deputy vice president at SBICap Securities Ltd. Still, it's not all rosy for prospective buyers. "Air India's advantages are somewhat offset by other factors such as a high cost structure and the burden of flying some unviable routes," adds Sabarad.
Some analysts also worry about the possibility of continued interference from the government, which has decided to retain a 24% stake in the company. Besides, companies and consortiums considering bids need to factor in challenges such as employee unions and the work culture associated with government-owned firms.
Given this backdrop, a moot question is whether the government can expect a significant valuation for the Air India asset. InterGlobe Aviation Ltd, which runs IndiGo airline, has an enterprise value (EV) of around Rs72,000 crore, including the present value of lease rentals. But the two airlines are hardly comparable—both in terms of operational efficiency and the nature of business. IndiGo gets most of its revenues from domestic operations, while Air India gets the majority of its revenues from international routes.
Jet Airways isn't strictly comparable either, says Sabarad, despite the fact that it gets a large chunk of revenues from international routes. Even so, he says that since Air India's advantages over Jet Airways are more or less offset by some negative factors, it wouldn't be off the mark to ascribe similar valuation multiples to the two airlines. The two airlines are also fairly similar in terms of revenue and cost metrics.
As the table alongside shows, Jet Airways trades at an EV to Ebitdar multiple of 9.6 times, using FY17 earnings. Ebitdar stands for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and lease rentals. EV includes the present value of future rentals (bit.ly/1WlrTlm), using a rough capitalization factor of eight times current rentals.
Applying the same multiple for Air India results in an EV of Rs45,000 crore, most of which will be offset by the remaining debt on its books (roughly Rs25,000 crore) and the capitalized value of lease rentals. As such, the government may end up with only Rs5,000 crore or so, which may well lead to criticism that the national airline is being sold for a song.
Some companies may also factor in gains from cost-cutting and improved efficiencies, which may result in higher valuations. But on the other hand, note that Jet Airways' pre-tax profit has fallen over 60% in the first three quarters of this year, partly because of the rise in crude oil prices. As such, the rosy numbers reflected in FY17 financials are no longer a reality.
In this backdrop, the only hope for the government is that buyers get into a bidding war for the asset, and prop up valuations. Needless to say, they will also be setting themselves up for failure, in the process.

Silicon Valley education start-up AltSchool has added five new executives to help take its software platform — built in eight private "lab schools" — to more schools.
"We're staffed to really support not just independent private schools like ourselves, but in the future, public schools where the majority of kids are educated," said AltSchool CEO Max Ventilla.
AltSchool has an ambitious plan to revolutionize education with its software platform, and to offer a more personalized learning experience. The company has raised $133 million in venture capital funding for research and development, and counts Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg among its backers.
The company has also drafted former Airbnb executive Laura Hughes Modi to run its services and operations. While a background at a consumer tech company might seem like an odd fit for an education startup, it actually makes a lot of sense, said Modi.
"My role here is to take a lot of those learnings that I had at Airbnb where it was about transforming an archaic system that really needed a revamp — for there it was travel and here it's education," said Modi, now AltSchool's vice president of operations and services.
AltSchool will have to offer a lot of hands-on training and spend a lot of time onsite working directly with educators to help them get onto the platform, she said.
AltSchool's platform comprises of two key products. Educators log into "Portrait" for a dynamic picture of each child's progress and history, both academic and non-academic. Students log into their "Playlist" to complete a customized set of assignments, submit work and communicate with teachers.

About VMTwatch.org
VMTwatch.org looks at the controversial healthcare businesses run by D.C. contractor Solanges Vivens and is part of an effort to stop VMT's misuse of public funds and improve the care it offers District residents.
VMTwatch is a project of the caregivers of 1199SEIU-United Healthcare Workers East. 1199SEIU caregivers have been working to fix the problems at three of VMT's D.C.-funded facilities: VMT Home Health Agency, J.B. Johnson Nursing Center, and Washington Center for Aging Services (a District-owned home that VMT ran until 2010, when it lost the contract). In all three instances, VMT CEO Solanges Vivens has refused to work constructively with the caregivers and denied them a fair first contract.

[K:NWTS 7/2 (Sep 1992) 39-41]
A symphony is the composition of a single author. It is composed of a central theme or motif which is woven through several movements or stages of development. In the great classic symphonies, this central theme penetrates each movement so that the climactic finale has been anticipated in each previous movement. There is, in a sense, an intrusion of the central motif throughout the composition.
The Scriptures are unified by their composer—God himself through the Holy Spirit. They are harmonized by their central theme/motif—the incarnation of the Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, Savior of Sinners. The Scriptures are united by their perspective—the eschatological orientation of the people of God toward their Maker and Redeemer. Tis a heavenly symphony from beginning to end!
Mark Strom is certain that God is the composer of his word. He is convinced that Jesus Christ is the central theme of Scripture. But Strom does not appear to have a clue about the eschatological perspective which permeates Scripture from the intrusion of the seed-of-the-woman promise (Gen. 3:15) to the descent of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:2). Perhaps two out of three is not bad. But the missing eschatological element makes Strom's Opus No. 1 an 'unfinished,' if not 'tragic' symphony.
Strom attempts to trace the biblical history of redemption from Genesis to Revelation. The chapters are arranged canonically. We begin which the creation, move to the fall, the patriarchal history, the exodus and wilderness era, conquest, era of the judges, monarchy, Psalms and wisdom, prophets, New Testament gospels, epistles and Apocalypse. A concluding appendix provides dates for the period Israelite monarchy to Roman empire (800-63 B.C.).
As a survey of redemptive history for the uninitiated, the book has some merit. It is plain, straightforward and written in a somewhat folksy style. In simple outline form, it presents a retelling of the Bible story in historical/canonical sequence. Along the way, we find moments of insight. His treatment of the exodus theme is quite good (pp. 45-47) as is his brief discussion of the Pauline "flesh"/"spirit" contrast (p. 232). He has Rom. 1:3, 4 right (pp. 198-99). But apart from these moments of 'brilliance,' the treatment is dull. Why? What was it that caused this reviewer to feel he was slogging his way through 279 pages of print? Was it the impression that he was reading condensed classroom notes from seminary survey/introductory courses (n.b. the names frequently footnoted—Harvie Conn, Ray Dillard, Tremper Longman, Vern Poythress, Moises Silva—all Professors at Strom's Th.M. alma mater, Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)?
I admit that I picked up Strom's volume hoping for a popular version of Geerhardus Vos's Biblical Theology. Hoping for "Vos for Everyman," I also expected a grasp of Vos's method by our author. Alas, Strom shows only the ability to copy Vos's well known diagram of New Testament eschatology (cf. p. 122, where the diagram is credited to Vos and p. 259, where it is not). Strom shows no ability to penetrate to Vos's starting point—the priority of eschatology (p. 257 notwithstanding). Strom is consistently linear, typological, topical in his approach. He is rarely vertical, eschatological, organic. The book thus becomes obvious, superficial, bland and boring.
Each chapter concludes with "discussion questions" and "exercises." These telltale conclusions reveal our author's penchant for the topical. The final word to every chapter is an attempt to make practical and relevant the content of the previous pages. Praxis uber alles ("practice over all"). As with all moralism, Strom must manufacture applications which fit the section of Scripture he has been treating. Having presented his data, it is now time to conclude each chapter by making the data relevant/applicable.
Strom never seems to understand that the real symphony of Scripture is always the reverse of his method. The drama and vitality of the word of God draws the reader/hearer into the very life of the text—a life which is hidden with Christ in God (Col. 3:3). Herein lies the music of the spheres.
Strom leaves us ultimately with a hermeneutical dualism: (1) exposition; (2) application. The two, however, are not organically related. In fact, the "discussion questions" and "exercises" often lead the reader to dismiss the preceding exposition as irrelevant to "real" Christian living. We may honestly ask: does the application even need the preceding exposition, or is that exposition merely a pretext? It is clear that the application does not need the eschatological orientation which characterizes genuine biblical theology.
Sadly, we leave this symphony disappointed. Strom's symphony is not sharp—it is, in fact, consistently flat!
—James T. Dennison, Jr.
