Effective goal setting: How setting goals plays a significant role in everyday life
Tired of not reaching your goals?
Effective Goal Setting
Setting goals plays a significant role in everyday life.
It allows individuals to plan out both their long and short term objectives, and also helps them to organize their priorities in a manageable format. This is especially vital in regards to an organization, where individual careers or even entire businesses may not succeed if they fail to meet these objectives. Since every organization is comprised entirely of individuals, it is most important to first focus on personal goals. It is also necessary to focus on better ways to achieve these goals. Finally, it should be noted that not all goals are reached, in fact, most are not, but failing to achieve a goal can be overcome.
Effective goal setting can be a valuable resource for accomplishing any desired outcome an individual may have for both themselves and their organization.
It does this by first allowing people to decide what is important to achieve, which then enables them to prioritize their time and efforts to reach this goal. When setting effective goals it is important to have a strategy. These strategies include but are not limited to: having a precise objective, setting realistic goals, writing these goals down, setting performance goals rather than objective goals, and never setting your goals too low. Along with successful time and resource management, setting goals can serve as a motivational tool and can also build an individual's self confidence upon achievement.
While setting goals is a good starting point, it is also important to keep in mind what is needed to achieve these objectives.
In a business setting it is necessary to make sure that everyone understands what is expected, and that these expectations, or goals, have a realistic chance of being fulfilled. Failure to achieve a goal is often attributed to the fact that the people who created the goals did so in order to please their superior, rather than accepting their personal and organizational limitations. In order to combat this common problem, organizations should remain in close communication with its workers, and empower them by supporting them in achieving their goals.
Seven Strategies to rise above failure (by Victor Parachin):
According to an article written by Victor Parachin called "Rising above Failure", when failing to achieve a goal, it is important to realize that "failure is never final". These setbacks are bound to happen, and by looking over previous mistakes that led to the failure one can often overcome a similar downfall further down the road. I believe that we can learn a lot about setting and achieving goals by taking the time to look at our failures. So, I have paraphrased his lessons to rise above failure, but you can click here for the full article:
1. Look for the lesson.
2. Turn a Crisis into a coup.
3. View failure as merely one of life's hurdles to overcome.
4. If you fail once, simply try and try again.
5. Protect your mind.
6. Speak in ways that empower your mind.
7. Recommit your goals.
Summarizing effective goal setting
Setting effective goals is a strategy that allows people to maximize their time, resources, and effectiveness. Since every organization is made up of individuals, it is important for organizations to encourage effective goal setting for every member of their team. While achieving these goals is most often easier said than done, once mastered, this approach can lead to a more fulfilling life for the individual, and also increase productivity within an organization. By successfully setting goals, and a dedication to the achievement of these goals, an individual will discover much success. However, if failure should ever arise, it is important to remember to keep trying and allow yourself to learn from the mistake.

Q: What's the difference between a real estate agent and a REALTOR®?
Q: Why should I hire a REALTOR®?
Q: Do I really need a REALTOR® to sell my home?
Q: What questions should I ask when looking for a REALTOR®?
Q: What's the difference between a real estate agent and a REALTOR®?
"REALTOR®" and "real estate agent" are not interchangeable, although some real estate agents might like them to be. The term REALTOR® is a registered certification mark that identifies the quality of services rendered by licensed real estate agents who are members of The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). All real estate agents are not REALTORS®, but all REALTOR® members are real estate agents. REALTOR® members are committed to a strict code of ethics known as the REALTOR® Code, and are the only ones who have the right to list your property on the MLS® Systems of their local real estate boards. To correctly be referred to as a REALTOR®, a real estate agent must be a member of CREA.
Q: Why should I hire a REALTOR®?
You're trusting a REALTOR® with your most valuable possession, your home. REALTORS® take this responsibility very seriously. Here's what we promise you:
Q: Do I really need a REALTOR® to sell my home?
Many people who try to sell their own home end up using a REALTOR® in the end anyway. Before anybody decides to fly solo through this complex, time consuming and financially perilous process, they should consider these questions.
Will you really "save" the real estate commission?
When buyers see a home for sale 'by the owner', they see a bargain. They imagine the REALTOR®'s fee going into their pocket, not yours.
How many potential buyers will you reach?
Selling a home takes more than just hanging a "For Sale" sign. How will you promote your home? Will you write your own ads? How will you use the Internet? MLS® and the corresponding web site www.REALTOR.ca have changed the way people search for homes, and it's hard to court buyers without it.
Do you have the time?
Promoting a home is a full time job, and you may already have one. Will you be able to take calls at any time? How about screening the callers to figure out if they're suitable candidates? Not everybody who calls is even suitable to walk through your home, but how do you tell?
Do you know the market well enough to get the most for your home?
Lacking years of experience, the average do-it-yourselfer is merely guessing at their listing price. Often they set the price too low and miss out on thousands of dollars, or they price their home too high and drive away willing buyers.
Do you have the negotiation skills to keep a deal on track?
When an offer comes in, emotions can run high with so much money on the line. This is why direct seller-to-buyer deals often end in disaster. REALTORS® keep it professional and are indispensable when it comes to bargaining with buyers.
Q: What questions should I ask when looking for a REALTOR®?
Here are 10 smart questions to ask. But remember, this is just a starting point. Your REALTOR® should be willing to answer any questions you have. After all, that's why you hire the pros.

Flora Graeca Sibthorpiana, Volume 7 and 8
Just Published. Stock expected by end of January (2013)
Prepared and edited by Arne Strid and Barbro Strid, this is the 4th book in an annotated re-issue of the Flora Graeca Sibthorpia.
Flora Graeca, was originally published in 10 volumes between 1806 and 1840, and was the product of a survey in the late C18, by John Sibthorp who collected and described the flora. He was accompanied by Ferdinand Bauer who prepared and illustrated the specimens. The engravings for the printing were made by Sowerby and the work as a whole is considered one of the finest examples of botanical illustration.
This new edition is, according to the current editors, a 'pseudo -facsimile' version. The original Flora Graeca is in folio format. The plates have been reduced to fit a print area of 16 x 24 cm. Small plants sometimes occupy only a portion of the centre of an otherwise blank page in the original, with the calligraphed name at the far bottom. In such cases the size has been modified so that the drawing fills a reasonable part of the page and the name has sometimes been moved closer.
For each species there is a two - page spread. The colour plate is reproduced on the right-hand page. On the upper half of the facing left-hand page is a text block in English and on the lower half a dot map produced from the more than 70,000 records stored in the Flora Hellenica Database (for species not occurring within the borders of present-day Greece the map is omitted).
The text block contains the following elements: a) Currently accepted scientific name, with authority and place of publication, b)Important synonyms, with authority but without place of publication, c) Comments on taxonomic status, distribution, ecology, flowering time and other features of interest, d) A brief description, emphasizing diagnostic characters.
200 full-page col. plates. 200 col. distr. maps. With a new introduction.
The complete re-issue will be published in 5 volumes, each corresponding to two volumes of the original Flora Graeca. Indices will also be provided in the last volume.
In the introduction to vol. 1 it was stated that the original Latin text would be appended on CD in the final volume. In the meantime, however, it has become available at the Bodleian Library website (http://www. bodleian.ox.ac.uk/science/ eresources/flora_graeca) so will not be issued as a CD.
- New Title
- Condition: New
- Available to order. Usually dispatched within 1-2 weeks

Title I funds can be used to pay for community school events. Title I schools have federal funding to help increase academic levels. The main purpose of the funding is to help children from low-achieving area increase their scores to meet state standards. Hosting a school assembly can be done by hiring outside staff to instruct teachers and students about a certain topic like: Drug prevention, bully prevention and academic success.
By having a parent night in addition to a school assembly, not only can students learn but the parents can be on the same page with their children. It's mandatory in some states to have professional development events throughout the year and Title I funds can be used to pay to hire outside speakers.

Los Angeles - Michael Jackson is the only star Justin Bieber looks to for career guidance.
Both singers became international sensations when they were very young, and unlike many child stars, Michael went on to have a long career.
Although his later life was sometimes controversial and ended after he was administered a fatal overdose of hospital grade painkiller Propofol in 2009, Justin still sees him as his best role model.
He said: ''A lot of teen stars didn't really work did they? So I'm doing my own thing. The only person I look at for guidance is Michael Jackson.
"I definitely look at his career when he was young and growing up in the spotlight. Career-wise I would say he's the biggest artist ever.''
Justin, 18, has also said a track on his new album, Believe, is about fan Mariah Yeater's false claims he fathered her baby, and is inspired by Michael's similar but fictional account of a fan claiming he'd fathered her child, Billie Jean.
He told Q magazine: ''We definitely took inspiration from that song. I wanted to write something different and something the fans would be connected to and understand.
''I wanted them to think, 'Yeah that's Justin's life and he's talking about stuff that's really going on'."
I am shocked but not surprised that Channel 24 is using the term "Jacko" for Michael Jackson. The media tried to destroy him, and is still trying even after his death. MJ's fans DEMAND that the media quit using this racist hateful name.

Swacch Bharat: How Clean Is India?
We have heard people talk about this from the day 1 – The Swacch Bharat mission started to mark Gandhi Jayanti or even from the day of Modi's Speech at Madison Garden. There was a hue and cry when he mentioned the idea of clean India and I guess I heard more naysayers than the ones who were excited by it.
It sure started with a greate gusto, the top names of Indian newspapers, televisions like Salman, Aamir were all over the news and the idea of tagging these movie superstars was indeed very smart by our PM. However that being said, there was another set of people who were making a huge list of reasons for why this project would be an utter flop. Some of them prefer to call it opposition :P. Well whoever they are, they were clear of one thing -It is never going to succeed in a country like India.
And what were the reasons given?
– There is no infrastructure, not enough dustbins or toilets
– People do not have civic sense, they urinate on roads, throw garbage wherever they like
– People spit where we walk
– Even if I clean it , someone else will dirty it. So.. Why bother!
– Someone else did it to MY STUFF. There was no one to stop them, why should I do it for someone else.
And here is a very clever video giving the various reason as to why India can never be a clean country. If these people were given the bible or the Bhagawadgita, I am sure they would have sworn by it to say that it is never going to happen.
Truth is – I agree, I agree that it is never going to happen. And the reason is not that people are insensitive, it is because of these people who discourage the ones who actually want to do it.
My first question to any project is this :
1) What do you do to ensure that it is followed?
Why should someone do a good deed? I agree that it is a great feeling to do a good job and I would feel great doing it once in a while. But if you want me to do it continuously, it becomes a chore. How would you encourage someone to take a new step and keep taking it consistently.
The technical term says "Positive Reinforcement". I would rather call it the simple reward and punish mechanism. How do you reward these good people? And I do not mean money, this is a small responsibility, but I would really like to be appreciated for taking it. Here are a few ways you/I can reinforce this behaviour
– A simple thank you or a smile when you see someone doing the right thing
– We have all these celebrities cleaning the streets and I do understand that they are busy. How about a signed card from these celebrities, nothing extravagant, just a simple card which says Thank you for making this a better place! Let there be a slight competition.
– It need not be a permanent measure, it can be a simple, easy positive reinforcement which keeps people ticking
2) The punishments.
The same people when they are in US / UK do not spit on the roads, nor do they urinate in public places! Why?
Cos people look down upon them, they call the cops on them, they levy fines on them.
Why can't we do that here? And with the way the govt exchequer is spending money on new projects, I am sure we can use the extra money gathered from this to make more toilets or install more dustbins
How about moral policing? We have seen the so called brands who shout at women for wearing short skirts! Where are they when it comes to more sensible issues?
How about us, maybe we can raise our voices against these perpetrators. Maybe for once, we can stop complaining and do something about it. We all need not be Gandhis but we sure can be responsible people and if we do not make the change happen, then I doubt if any govt is ever going to do that for us!
Do join us for more such updates,

Jessy Tomsko
Piano, Guitar, Voice
Hailing from New York City, Jessy Tomsko has a love for music that transcends the simple pop tunes that plague much of today's music scene. With her heartfelt lyrics and self-penned melodies, Jessy celebrates life and love in her acoustic renditions brought to life on the many stages of New York City.
Jessy's love for music stretches back to early childhood where she became enamoured with writing short poems and stories, and shortly began to add music to the equation by composing little piano pieces. These early ventures into music cumulated in picking up the guitar in her late teens, and deciding then and there that she wanted to focus on music and pursue a career of her own. After some time spent earning a degree in classical singing, Jessy returned to writing music, reigning in her creative capabilities and challenging herself as a singer-song writer.
In 2010, Jessy worked closely with Greg Fisher of Evolving Sound Studios on her debut, full-length album, "The Light You Make". The album invites the listener to take part in Jessy's honest and unguarded musical interpretation of life's virtues and melancholies. The soft, lilting melodies featured on the record showcases her vocal skills, finessed with years of classical training.
Jessy's work is infused with a lightness and warmth that is equally embodied in her live performances. Maintaining a busy performance schedule, Jessy has played at venues such as The Bitter End in New York City and the World Café Live in Philadelphia, and major events as the Wave Gathering Music Festival in Asbury Park, New Jersey and the Launch Music Conference in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She's also had the honour of sharing the stage with artists such as David Berkeley, James Maddock, John Francis, Amber Rubarth and Ari Hest among many others.
"Little Reverie", a three track EP, was released in January 2011. Jessy continued to evoke emotionally charged responses from her listeners with acoustic tracks delivered with sweet and simple vocals. Her stripped down and honest delivery magnified the intimacy she strives to achieve with her audience.
Jessy continues to grow as an artist, garnering new skills from each musical experience and being inspired by artists such as Joni Mitchell, Ani Difranco and Ingrid Michaelson. These experiences can be seen in her new full-length album, "Join the Circus", to be released this year.
Known for her well-crafted songs and dynamic stage personality, Jessy's easy-going personality and warm vocals permeate her music and continues to do so with her latest single, "Come Get Me". As a member of ASCAP, she has teamed up with Concerthouse Music Management and Blue Pie Records in 2011 to further develop her music.
Jessy Tomsko is part of the Blue Pie Family of Artists. For More Information visit www.jessytomsko.com.

What was the main feature of President Obama's first year policy?
- print Print
- list Cite
The main feature or main goal of President Obama's policies during his first year in office was to try to improve the economic situation in the United States. While Obama did take other actions during that time, the major goal of his first year was to help pull the US out of the recession that had followed the financial crisis of 2008.
The most important law that President Obama signed during his first term was the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, better known as the economic stimulus package. This law put hundreds of billions of dollars towards trying to restart the economy. Obama also signed such laws as the "Cash for Clunkers" act and the "Helping Families Save Their Homes" act. Both of these were similarly meant to jumpstart the economy and/or to keep it from slipping further into recession.

Democrats have been fighting a candidate curse in the Montana Senate race, and they're losing.
First, in July of last year, former Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer decided to forego a bid for Senate, shocking many Democrats and paving the way for Lt. Gov. John Walsh to run.
But, on Thursday, Walsh quit his bid for Senate too, having flailed for two weeks after the New York Times uncovered multiple serious instances of plagiarism in an academic thesis.
Now, Democrats will need to find a third suitable Senate candidate before Aug. 20 — but the climb is steeper than ever.
The candidate will need to launch a campaign with only three months until Election Day, for a Senate seat most Democrats have given up on winning. "I think it's accepted as a lost cause at this point," said one Democratic strategist with ties to Montana.
These Democrats have said they won't run, but at least some people in their party are floating the idea in one last effort to keep the Senate seat in play:
Brian Schweitzer
For a brief moment Thursday, there seemed to be a glimmer of hope that Schweitzer might run when one Schweitzer ally, Montana political strategist Bob Brigham, tweeted: "Today's a good day for everyone to follow @brianschweitzer. Follow him all the way to victory in November!" But, not long after, Schweitzer took to Twitter to clarify. "I respectfully decline to seek the Senate nomination," Schweitzer said. "Many thanks to John Walsh & I'll support whoever the next nominee turns out to be."
A bid by Schweitzer would have no doubt been complicated by some inflammatory remarks he made recently, such as that former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor sets off Schweitzer's "gaydar." And Republicans have boasted about potentially damaging opposition research against Schweitzer, which might have led him to decide against running in the first place.
Nancy Keenan
The former president of the National Abortion Rights Action League-Pro-Choice America (NARAL Pro-Choice America) returned to Montana this year after a 13-year hiatus in Washington, D.C., to work for the political firm Hilltop Public Solutions. Her work has included advising Walsh's campaign; now, some Democrats see her as a logical successor to him, although Keenan has not indicated publicly whether she would be interested in taking up Walsh's mantle.
Stephanie Schriock
Schriock, president of the major pro-Democratic group EMILY's List, is a Montana native who was heralded as a top potential recruit for the Senate seat — until she said thanks but no thanks. "I would love to say yes, but this is not the right time," Schriock said in July 2013. If the time wasn't right then, it likely won't be now.
Carol Williams
Although she does not have the national profile of some other potential Senate candidates, Williams is well-known in Montana politics as the first woman to serve as majority leader in the Montana state Senate. Since leaving the statehouse in 2012, Williams has taken up the cause of electing more women to office, and she is on the board of Carol's List, a group — named for her, in the vein of EMILY's List — established for that purpose.
Last year, Williams said she was approached to run for Senate or for Montana's House seat but opted out. "I didn't really think a lot about it," she said at the time, as reported in the Missoulian. "I was flattered that they thought about me. I'm doing what I really want to do — raise money and help elect Montana women to the legislature."
Adding to her potential appeal, Williams is part of a well-known political family: She is married to former Rep. Pat Williams, who also fielded calls to run for Senate, and also declined.

Thom Hartmann: Libertarian Economics Responsible For 'Lost Generation'
I am generally very appreciative of Thom Hartmann's staunch anti-war stance and his overall rationality and intelligence, but this is a completely insane and baseless argument.
When has there been a Libertarian in power? Reaganomics and Libertarianism are not the same thing. How does a Conservative Keynesian like Reagan get compared to Liberal Austrian ideals? How do you blame the Libertarian party for policies enacted by Republicans and Democrats and two or three independents?
Last time I checked, it was Democrats and Republicans that deregulated our economy and allowed corporations to bring our country to what it is today. Where do Libertarian economics from their independent candidates come into play?
The student loan crisis is also a crisis invented by government. It is government that backs the loans that allows anyone to go into tens of thousands of dollars into debt for any degree. Libertarians, while growing rapidly, are not a decisive force in our government.

Willmar City Council approves liquor ordinance amendments
WILLMAR -- The Willmar City Council has approved a series of ordinance amendments that alter the penalties for licensed liquor establishments that sell alcohol to minors. The ordinance establishes penalties for violations of state law and ordinances regulating the sale of alcoholic beverages.
The amendments remove the most contentious provision, which was suspension or revocation of a license and replaces it with higher fines.
The policy adopted by the council in 2001 of having the police department conduct twice-a-year compliance checks at licensed establishments will continue.
But the amendments change the status of accumulated violations: When a license holder has not had a violation for three consecutive years or when a license holder has successfully passed three consecutive checks, whichever time period is shorter, the violation level drops one level and each subsequent successful compliance check drops one additional level.
Previously, the status period for no violations was five consecutive years or successfully passing five consecutive checks.
A new amendment requires persons directly or indirectly selling alcoholic beverages to attend a police chief-approved servers training program.
Council members Denis Anderson and Ron Christianson proposed the amendments in response to compliance checks during the past two years in which seven of the city's 22 licensed liquor establishments failed a police department compliance check and one establishment, Green Mill, closed for 10 days.
Christianson said the ordinance allows the council to impose a greater penalty than the minimum established. He said establishments support the amendments. The increased fines are still a penalty on the businesses.
"We have authority to impose a stiffer penalty or close them down if we think that's what needs to be done,'' he said. "I could not support closing down an establishment one more time in this city.''
However, Christianson wanted a way to judge how well the checks are working. He did not believe that underage people go to a bar or establishment to drink and get drunk, but that it's persons of legal age buying alcohol for younger people.
"They intend to break the law. That's where most of the alcohol is consumed. I believe that 95 percent of the liquor that is consumed is liquor purchased at a liquor store. The servers do not intend to break the law. They make a mistake, we all make mistakes.''
Two Green Mill employees voiced their support during a Tuesday night hearing.
Candace Huisman of Atwater, delivery and dispatch manager in Willmar, said one employee's wrong choice "might be the end of our business.''
Joe Kohaut of Burnsville, vice president of food and beverage for Torgerson Properties, which operate the Willmar Green Mill, said the company does not want minors drinking. He said the company supports the changes and understands the company is responsible for servers.
He said the training is a great addition and he listed the company's requirements and penalties for servers. Kohaut said the server whose mistake led to the 10-day license suspension was terminated and others earning wages and tips were penalized because of that one person.
Offering an opposite opinion was Laura Lindeman, coordinator of the Kandiyohi County Drug Free Communities Coalition. She said the amendments tend to remove the council's authority to suspend or revoke an establishment's right to operate after having a second or more violation.
Lindeman said the coalition would like options to suspend or revoke retained because serving underage youth is a serious matter. Lindeman said she was pleased the council proposed adding the server training requirement.
"We would like to see stiffer monetary penalties than what is proposed to deter servers and establishments from serving underage youth and the suspension and revocation options returned in the language as it was,'' she said.
Willmar resident John Sullivan agreed that businesses should not be shut down, but he said an employer "has to own up'' for what that employee did wrong. He recommended a larger fine increase and suggested the amendments be returned to committee for more discussion.
Council member Tim Johnson said there is some consequence for the terminated server who was charged with a criminal offense and dealt with in the courts.
Johnson said he has no problem with the requirement that the license holder who has a fifth violation appear before the council. He said discussions at the Finance Committee, where license holders who have their first violation tell how they will avoid future violations, are very fruitful and work well.
Johnson said it's a "humbling experience for the proprietor to own up to what happened. To me that's a bit of a penalty.''
The amendments were approved 7-1 with Anderson, Christianson, Johnson, Bruce DeBlieck, Rick Fagerlie, Jim Dokken and Doug Reese voting in favor and Steve Ahmann against.

text: hi, I did describe noise/glitches on the screen. I will try to describe it a little bit: --------------------------------------- It is like an old CRT with a weak high voltage supply - the screen may shrink or expand. And there are noise streaks across the screen. As this is a laptop with LCD, it has to do with updating of the screen. Loading is typical if you open a folder on the screen, and it will update/paint to the screen. In such cases the shrinking/expansion may be 20-40 mm for a brief half second or so. Sometimes leaving a horizontal band for in the middle. The reason: ----------- The "new" cpu scaling can not keep up. I have it set to "on-demand". 800MHz - worst, as described above. 1600MHz - very improved, the shrinking/expanding is only 5-10 mm 1800MHz - the effect seem gone. 2000MHz - have not seen any noise/glitches. Discussion: ----------- Watching the System Monitor, the graphs are smooth, the loading on CPU1 and CPU2 seem nice compared to earlier kernels with abrupt switching from one to the other. The "new" scaling algorithm have at dropped CPU temperature with more then 10 degree centigrade. For a couple of years of running Linux, you could not keep your hand against the underside of the machine for any long time. And you would burn yourself if holding your hand close to the ventilation port. I have never checked with AMD what cores temperatures would be reasonable, but above 70 centigrade was not uncommon. As I write, the CPU is running at 800MHz and the CPU temp is 55 centigrade. I would rather live with some noise/glitches on the screen and keep the temperature down. For a couple of years, I have almost never been running without power attached, as you run out of battery power within an hour ?? ( have no good figure on this ) The computer behaves somewhat closer to how it is running Microsoft Vista, yet I have never seen glitches and noise there. But the lesser loading, the fan speed and temperature is much more close to each other. To remove noise on the screen, perhaps a sharper controller term could be used, at the cost of the more smooth behaviour it has now. Perhaps the refresh of the screen could be held off/protected during scheduling. I don't know. Knowing some reasons for this and if need be, just enable a higher prosessor speed, works for me. //ARNE

July 17 (Reuters) - A unit of Brazilian state-run lender Banco do Brasil SA plans to launch its first Islamic fund to help raise the profile of its Singapore unit, joining a growing list of asset managers returning to the sharia-compliant sector.
The last few years have been difficult for Islamic funds as a whole, with Western firms pulling out as slumping equity markets reduced investor interest and local managers often lacking wider distribution capabilities.
The sector is reviving: Islamic mutual funds now hold $58 billion of assets under management, up from $41 billion at the end of 2012, recovering from a low of $36 billion in 2010, according to Lipper data.
Firms such as Threadneedle Investments, Britain's fourth-largest retail fund manager, plan to grab a slice of this by launching a range of sharia compliant funds in Malaysia.
Last year, the Malaysian unit of Britain's Aberdeen Asset Management launched two such funds. Malaysia's RHB Asset Management plans Islamic funds in Hong Kong, Singapore and Indonesia in the coming year.
In turn, Banco do Brasil's asset management division, BB DTVM, will launch its Islamic fund through its three-year old Singapore subsidiary to help it win business in the region.
"We do believe that this is one of the strategies to attract Asian and Middle East investors to help BB Securities Singapore build a more diversified and competitive portfolio," said BB DTVM's chief executive Carlos Massaru Takahashi.
"If we have a clear perception and commitment of some investors about other types of funds, we will launch them."
BB DTVM conducted a roadshow for the Irish-domiciled fund in June and plans a second one in coming months, aiming to raise as much as 500 million reais ($224.9 million) for the fund.
This will include marketing tie-ups with Islamic banks, such as Singapore's Islamic Bank of Asia, which will advise on the fund's sharia-compliance matters.
Islamic fund managers screen their portfolios according to religious guidelines such as bans on tobacco, alcohol and gambling, in much the same way as socially responsible funds.
But unlike their ethical counterparts in Western markets, many have struggled with a lack of scale and limited distribution capabilities, issues which fund managers are increasingly tackling head-on.
"We do not have any exclusivity in terms of distribution, for this reason we are able to do other partnerships for distribution even in Singapore, including the Middle East," Takahashi said.
Distribution platform Allfunds Bank is also eyeing the Islamic funds market. The Madrid-based firm is expanding its presence in Asia and the Middle East, planning to add more Islamic mutual funds to its product range.

Commercial and Residential Misting - High Pressure Nozzle Systems
Coldmist Cooling is designed to operate where conventional air conditioning is not practical, possible or simply too expensive. As a derivative of the climate control systems used in livestock cooling applications such as chicken houses, piggeries and dairies, the design incorporates the injection of water under high pressure through specially designed and patented nozzles.
The resultant finely atomised 5 micron water droplets, when introduced into the surrounding air effectively flash evaporate and cool the contacted air.
With correctly applied methodology a temperature reduction of up to 10° C is achieved with virtually no increase in humidity. As our partners, we have chosen the Danish company SKOV , international suppliers of highly specialised climate control components.
The heart of the system revolves around the unique patented FLEXCLAMP nozzle system which allows for easy installation without the requirement for special tools making it ideal for self installation resulting in reduced costs.
All components, from the stainless steel tubing, pipe joiners, fans and high pressure pumps are of the highest quality ensuring maximum reliability and efficiency.
The system can be removed and re-installed into different premises should you be moving and dependent on size, can be supplied for 240v or 415v operation.
Used across a broad spectrum of applications and industries, the ColdMist System is an ideal solution where heat stress is affecting the productivity, quality or comfort of people, animals and produce.
We have designed our system around 3 Basic Sizes and applications:
- Light duty/domestic
- Commercial
- Industrial

Free spin bonuses are one of the best type of bonuses you can score at online casinos, especially when they come without wagering requirements attached. Where play-through requirements are applied, free spin bonuses can still be worth taking advantage of.
We take a look at the types of free spin bonuses you can opt in for at the safest online sites, plus detail any terms and conditions which may be attached so you know what you are getting into.
Online casinos with free spins
Guts Casino – no deposit, new player, daily and promotional free spins
Guts have a plethora of free spins for both new and regular players.
As soon as you click on our Guts URL above, enter your details, and sign up for an account you will be credited with 10 free spins on Piggy Riches.
Then you can opt in for the welcome bonus, which involves an unlimited amount in AUD matches, plus 100 free spins on Starburst.
Neither of these free spins have any wagering requirements attached which is why we love Guts for free spin promotions.
There's also daily free spins you can opt in for on Monday and Thursday, on the popular pokies of the time, and regular promotions awarding players with free spins – all wager free (read the terms and conditions however as there are capped withdrawal limits).
G'day Casino – no deposit and welcome free spins
When you register an account with Aussie-themed online casino G'day you instantly receive 50 free spins on NetEnt's highly popular pokie, Guns N' Roses, no deposit required.
While these are wager free, the withdrawal limit of any winnings is capped at $50.
Casino-Mate – sign up free spins
New players are awarded 30 free spins when they register an account.
However, any winnings with these free spins have a huge 50x wagering requirement attached so perhaps it may be best to stick to the aforementioned sites for free spins and Casino-Mate for their premier Microgaming catalogue instead.
Royal Vegas Casino – social media free spins
Royal Vegas have regular free spin promotions via their social media channels, specifically their Google Plus account.
Follow our links to the Royal Vegas homepage, click the Google plus icon up in the panel of social media icons and here you will find free spin giveaways. Be sure to read their terms and conditions to see if any wager requirements are attached.
Tips for free spin promotions
There are a number of important factors to consider before opting in for free spin promotions.
- Always ensure you are playing at secure online casinos, such as the ones we have detailed above. If you don't put your security first, rogue operators can lock your account when you have accrued winnings or impose unfair terms and conditions which they didn't clarify
- Always read the terms and conditions of the bonuses. This may take some time, but you need to determine if it is worth opting in
- Decide whether you want wager free, with capped withdrawal limits, free spins or wagering requirements attached to your free spins before jumping in
- Be prepared to make a deposit. Even if you opt in for no deposit free spins, you may still have to make a deposit if you want to withdraw your winnings or continue playing for real money
Even if you decide to avoid free spin bonuses altogether, there are other amazing promotions at the aforementioned online casinos, plus incredible catalogues featuring Microgaming, NetEnt, BetSoft, and more.

49 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5This was among the least-appealing chai teas I've had so far—decent-tasting with some effort, but also, having an important turn-off and separate weakness that preclude a better rating.

Tchuggin' Okie (121 reviews) on Nov. 3rd, 2017
The dry-bag and poured cup smelled dutifully spicy, but also somewhat urinary. That caught me off guard, and probably isn't the "golden" that Numi intended. I hope a mouse didn't find the parent batch in the truck, on the ship or at the factory, and pee in it. What an unfamiliar and unwelcome background aroma to experience from a tea! Fortunately the wet-bag aroma was better, and the taste better still. Had someone opened the packaging and poured this for me, I might not have detected the scent of excretory fluids so soon, if at all.
When I tasted the tea after about 5 minutes of steeping, it was well-flavored but much weaker than the style (chai), origin (Assam) and color (rich, dark brown) suggested. So after swirling the bag around, I left it soaking in there another 5 minutes or more as the water started to cool some, then squeezed out the wet bag into the cup. Finally it tasted like a reasonable attempt at chai, yet *still*, somehow, a little more feeble than others. Too bad...as I love cardamom, and this clearly is a cardamom-dominant chai.
70 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5Interesting tea. The spice combination isn't my favorite, but it isn't bad. I think the cardamom is a little too strong relative to the other flavors. I definitely think this is one to drink with milk, in which case it could be exactly what you're craving when the mood strikes you. The black tea works well and isn't at all bitter.

Note: My second cup was better than my first due to being lighter. So if you don't have milk to mix with it, it's probably best to keep that first steep under 4 minutes.
53 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5I have to start off by saying that Numi is probably the first tea bag I ever had that really "wowed" me. I have tried many of their teas and if I see their name, I feel that it is going to be quality. So, that is why I got this Chai. I have been on a Chai kick, with the colder weather. This Chai is good. Not great, but I did enjoy it. I think that the cardamon may have been a little off for me, when I try to put a finger on it. I still love Numi, just will try a different Chai next time. The Holiday one sounds good.

47 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5This chai is average, today I almost made 99 percent of beautiful chai as being drink In India, making a base of assam golden tip Koenga Tea estate second flush hard boiled for 5 minutes. Added milk and boild the mixuture with 2 cloves, 2 black pepper, a green cardomom and small stick of cardomom. The liquor was thick brown chai with not so dominating aroma of spices, the result was more of tea flavour and less ofspices. This is chai. I have seen most of the company offer loose leaf tea for making chai with added spices. For the best result CTC is recommended. The companies should offer CTC mixed with a tinge of few flavoured spices more of green cardomom , cloves. To finish the iquour at last I use few tinges if safron to enoy my daily cuppa of chai.

83 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5I like this tea a lot, even though I didn't follow the steeping instructions exactly for the perfect cup, which involve dancing with a loved one while the tea is steeping. But the tea still turned out very good. I like to drink it with sugar and cream.

Sylvia (214 reviews) on Apr. 4th, 2011
57 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5Surprisingly weak given that this contains Assam black tea as the main ingredient. I brewed this in a small 6 oz. cup, for 3 minutes, with boiling water, and it still came out fairly weak (and a golden color, not a rich brown color like most black teas). My impression is either that less tea was used, or that a gentler, lighter Assam tea was used...one that has been bowled over by the strong presence of spices.
Alex Zorach (1339 reviews) on Oct. 18th, 2010
Alex Zorach (1339 reviews) on Oct. 18th, 2010
I also found the aroma of this tea a bit confusing given the ingredient list. It really smells like there is some clove in here, but none is listed. I don't notice as much cinnamon, even though cinnamon is the main ingredient. Cardamom is also listed, but I don't notice it as much. The ginger is muted--none of the ginger kick like fresh ginger adds.
Overall, this was not bad, and was pleasing to drink, but it was not anything like what I was expecting. It was also a disappointment when compared to Numi's other teas, which have been consistently higher quality than I felt this one was.
67 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5This is pretty tasty. Very spicy, perhaps too many sharp as opposed to sweet notes for my taste. A little expensive but a nice, strong chai.

It's been about a week since I downloaded Visual Studio Express Editions and I have done some fair (not too much) bit of coding using VC++ Express and not so much with Visual Web Developer. Didn't touch any other editions as yet, so I am going to be very C++ centric with this one. Generally, the UI in new Visual Studio Express has become more responsive. Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying 2005 was unresponsive but sometimes it took judicious amounts of time to open Dialog boxes. For example the Configuration dialog box took some time to come up initially, I mean the first time it was brought up, so did the search dialog. No such problems with this version, cool, that was a nag!
The compiler speed has increased, not by too much but it has. I must say I do use the /MP option a lot, but I still generally feel the speed of compilation is a little bit faster. Maybe on a faster machine the compiler could be a magnitude faster, but I still run a 3GHz 2 core machine that is 2 years old now. It's always nice to have a faster compiler, especially if your project takes about 15 min to compile from scratch and is heavily templatized!
On the other side I have had crashes with the express editions, 4 times to be exact. Considering it's been only a week, that's just too many times I must say. Not much has changed since 2005, even then, I must say the express edition is pretty good. It does a lot of things not easily attainable in other IDEs and C++ compilers. People have complained about not having a resource editor; it's not too much of a hindrance to a game developer like me who pretty much has no need for a resource editor. In any case there are a lot of free resource editors around that you could easily use to edit your resources, or just use wxWidgets!
On the whole the express edition of C++ is good. Hey and best of all, the express editions are free, should we even be complaining!
