Vietnam buys cruise missiles from Russia to threaten China
Russian media cartoon depicting friendly Russia-Vietnam relations during 1965-75, when Vietnam beat the US in the Vietnam war (RBTH)
Vietnam has purchased 50 (3M-14E Klub) supersonic cruise missiles from Russia, to be used in its fleet of (SSK Kilo-class diesel-electric) submarines.
There are two things about this deal. First, popular wisdom says that China and Russia are allies, but Russia is supplying China's enemy with advanced weapons. And second, the missiles can be used by Vietnam against Chinese ships and Chinese land targets. Vietnam is the first Southeast Asian nation to arm its submarine fleet with a land attack missile.
According to one analyst, the land-attack cruise missiles mark a "massive shift" advancing Vietnam's Navy capabilities. "They've given themselves a much more powerful deterrent that complicates China's strategic calculations."
As we've been reporting, China has been speeding up its military takeover of the South China Sea, using land reclamation projects to build military bases within territories that have historically belonged to other countries, particularly Vietnam and the Philippines. Vietnam and the Philippines have agreed to establish a strategic military partnership to counter China's belligerence. Vietnam last year announced that it will be purchasing several warships from India, and now Vietnam is taking another step, purchasing advanced cruise missiles from Russia.
The land-attack weapons are capable of precision strikes at a range of 300 km (190 miles). Beyond China's coastal cities, potential targets are the naval base at Sanya on China's Hainan Island, as well as any of the military bases that China is building on reclaimed land in the South China Sea. Reuters and Diplomat
China accuses Vietnam of 'double-dealing' with Russia, US
According to Chinese state media:
China doesn't want territorial and maritime antagonism with Vietnam standing in the way of implementing [China's regional initiatives]. Vietnam should be roped into this grand vision.
From the angle of Hanoi, the ruling communist party is unwilling and unable to go to extremes and launch head-on challenge against China over territorial claims. Exercising restraints and giving a timely handshake will ease down the tensions in the South China Sea so that it won't risk a spillover effect affecting economic and political interests. Vietnam desires reconciliation more than China does.
Although led by communist parties, China and Vietnam lack political mutual trust. Both nations have historical animosities, but the major crux of the current distrust rests on the quandary caused by sovereignty-related issues. …
[With regard to Vietnam's relations with Russia and the US], Hanoi is playing "double-dealer" without anyone who has its back, which might eventually put itself in danger.
China's concept that Vietnam might accept China's wonderful "grand vision" and ignore China's annexation of territories historically belonging to Vietnam is a fantasy of the highest order. People who write to me and give me logical reasons why China's vast military buildup does not mean that China is preparing a preemptive missile attack on the US should understand that China's massive state of denial is as bad as that of Washington and Brussels, and leads them to believe that they can easily win a war against anyone, including the US. This is not a rational belief, but an emotional fantasy belief, which is supported by many Chinese media reports that I've quoted over the years.
China clearly dislikes Russia's improved relationships with Vietnam, and accuses Russia of wanting to establish a base in Vietnam, which is probably true. In 2012, China called the relationship "unrighteous," and rebuked Russia for preferring to cooperate with "ill-doers" over nurturing a partnership with China. However, nothing in the Vietnam-Russia relationship is likely to deter China's accelerating military buildup in the South China Sea. Global Times (Beijing) and Jamestown
Russia and Vietnam agree to mutual defense cooperation pact to counter China
During the visit in early April of Russia's prime minister Dmitry Medvedev to Hanoi, the two countries approved a draft military cooperation pact formalizing bilateral defense cooperation. Although China was not mentioned directly in the pact, it's clear that China is the target.
From the point of view of Generational Dynamics, this is a logical turn of events. Russia and Vietnam have had a close relationship for decades, and it was Russian weapons that helped Vietnam win its war with the United States. On the other hand, Russia and China have centuries of hatreds and crisis wars between them, as do Vietnam and China. In fact, Russia and China were almost at war in the 1960s, while Vietnam and China actually were at war in the late 1970s.
The common wisdom is that Russia and China are natural allies, but nothing could be farther from the truth. It's true that Russia and China are the two countries today that are annexing other country's territories, as Hitler did in the late 1930s, and Russia and China support each other in the United Nations Security Council. But that relationship can be described as: "There's honor among thieves."
Russia recently signed a big energy deal with China to help bolster its economy, which is wracked by low oil prices and Western sanctions. However, many analysts have pointed out that this energy deal was a move of desperation by Russia, which was forced to agree to sell oil and gas to China at the lowest possible prices. So instead of being natural allies, Russia is desperately dependent on China.
Russia points outs that it is not a direct party to the territorial disputes in the South China Sea, but favors having the disputes adjudicated by the appropriate United Nations maritime courts, something that China rejects because it knows it would lose in court.
Russia's mutual defense agreement with Vietnam appears to be an attempt to counter-balance China's influence in the region, as well as Russia's own extreme economic dependence on China. Jamestown and Vietnam Net and Russia Beyond the Headlines
US requests access to Philippines military bases
The United States has asked for access to eight military bases in the Philippines to rotate troops, aircraft, and ships, to counter China's rapid military buildup in the South China Sea. These include bases in Subic and Clark, from which the Philippines ejected the US in 1992. Reuters

Weil, Ann (1952). Red Sails to Capri. New York: Viking.
It isn't surprising that contemporary middle grade fiction would contrast starkly with books written for this age group sixty-five years ago. Today's books for ten to twelve year olds reflect themes formerly only seen in young adult fiction. Most reflect our culture in ways that we, as homeschooling parents, would prefer to shield our kids from- if only until they are old enough to be firmly rooted in the truth, and capable of deciding for themselves what is "true, noble, right, and pure" (Philippians 4:8). Finding chapter books that capitalize on a fourth grader's newly acquired fluency in reading, and which will develop their understanding of characterization, plot, and dialogue, can be challenging. Red Sails to Capri does a beautiful job with all of these, free of the concerns of adolescence. It is usually the first book I recommend to those looking for literature for fourth grade boys.
Fourteen year old Michele helps his parents run an inn on the island of Capri. It is 1826, and they are eking out an existence on this "mountain island" when three visitors arrive in search of beauty, truth, and adventure respectively. Michele takes on the role of valet and guide to these gentlemen and in this fictional rediscovery of "The Blue Grotto of Capri", experiences the adventure of a life time.
The entire book will bring smiles, but my favorite scenes are those where Signora Pagano is in the kitchen:
"There, there!" The words came from the kitchen along with a wonderful odor. "There, there! Cook slowly now. Do not hurry yourselves. The men have not arrived."
Signor Pagano looked at Michele and smiled. "Your mother," he said, "is a remarkable person. Does she cook by recipe? No. Does she cook by taste? No. Does she cook by smell? No. Your mother, Michele, takes a few fish, and she talks to them, and argues with them, and scolds them, and flatters them, until finally she talks them into cooking the way she wants them." (p.21)
With a cast of eight unforgettable characters and in ten simple chapters, Weil's book humorously depicts the quests of Lord Derby, Herre Nordstrom, and Monsieur Jacques. Superstition is overcome, reason and courage prevail. And Michele learns to appreciate beauty, the value of friendship, and to let his mother continue to sing the soft boiled egg song. This is one of my favorites to take turns reading with my eight and nine year olds, and a truly well-crafted novel. It's no wonder it shared the accolade of being a Newbery honor in 1953 alongside Moccasin Trail, The Bears on Hemlock Mountain, and Charlotte's Web. (Secret of the Andes took the Newbery itself).

SUCCESSFUL MERGER DECISIONS IN GREECE: FACTS OR DELUSIONS?Download This Article
Michail Pazarskis, Panagiotis Pantelidis, Alexandros Alexandrakis, Panagiotis Serifis
This study examines the success of merger decision in Greece during the last years through an extensive accounting study. The events of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) that have been performed from all merger-involved firms listed on the Athens Stock Exchange in the period from 2005 to 2007 are evaluated using accounting data (financial ratios), and from them the final sample of the study that is finally investigated consists from thirty five Greek firms, which executed one merger or acquisition in the period from 2005 to 2007 as acquirers and have not performed any other important acquiring decision in a three-year-period before or after the examined M&As transactions. For the purpose of the study, a set of sixteen ratios is employed, in order to measure firms' post-merger performance and to compare pre- and post-merger performance for three years (or two years or one year) before and after the M&As announcements (with data analysis from 2002 to 2010). Furthermore the impact of the means of payment, of international or domestic M&As and of conglomerate or non-conglomerate mergers are evaluated. The results revealed that mergers have not any impact on the post-merger performance of the acquiring firms. Thus, the final conclusion that conducted is that the M&As activities of the Greek listed firms of this research have not lead them to enhanced post-merger accounting performance. Last, from the research results, it is clear that there is no difference from the mean of payment (cash or stock exchange) on the post-merger performance at the acquiring firms, and there is a better performance for international and conglomerate M&As.

Mpheni's company loses 11 vehicles
MBABANE – The MPD Group of Companies directed by Mpheni Dlomo has lost 11 of its vehicles and two canopies.
The property has been attached for a debt the former senator's company has with Roots Construction.
The vehicles that go under the hammer this week are three trucks, seven motor vehicles, a tractor, a skid front loader and two canopies.
The property belonging to Dlomo's company will be auctioned to recover a debt of E461 895.
Roots Construction has obtained a default judgment in its favour, declaring that MPD should pay the above amount.
According to the combined summons filed by Roots Construction in court, it concluded a construction agreement with MPD Group of Companies, which was in a joint venture partnership with a certain FED Investments (Pty) ltd, conducting business as a developer of the Big Tree Shopping Complex in Matsapha.
"A construction agreement was concluded between the plaintiff, as building contractor and the defendant as an employer," states Roots Construction in the combined summons.
The company says it provided quotations where it was represented by Rueben Msibi while the MPD Group of Companies was represented by Dlomo.
Roots Construction was to construct the Big Tree Shopping Complex in Matsapha and its car park, in accordance with MPD's plans.
MPD would, in turn, pay to Roots an amount in respect of the construction work equal to the sum of E3 689 902.
Also, an amount of E572 438 was to be paid to one of the supervising officers appointed by the defendant, this being Andreas Mkhatshwa.
Rose Maphanga was to state the exact amount required to complete the construction work.
The contractor stated that it duly executed and completed the construction work and FED effected certain payments to Roots Construction on behalf of MPD.
Mkhatshwa issued three certificates on behalf of MPD, in aggregate sums of E643 839 namely an amount of E135 000 on September 6, 2006 and E144 951 on September 18, 2007.
A further sum of E363 888, which remain unpaid by the defendant was also certified.
These amounts remained unpaid, notwithstanding the lapsing of a period of 14 days from the date of issue of the certificates.
MPD neither defended nor opposed the application thus the High Court granted a default judgment. "Be pleased to take notice that the auction commences at 10 am at the MPD Group of Companies head office, (opposite Unitrans) December 9, (Wednesday) 2009.
Thereafter, to the premises of Autoland (old Ngwane Mills premises) where the remainder of the vehicles will be sold," reads part of the writ of execution.
The auction will be conducted by Deputy Sheriff Martin Arker.

King's Lynn Town looking to capitalise on home form against Bishop's Stortford
Matthew Usher Photography
King's Lynn Town will look to build on their proud home record this season when they entertain Bishop's Stortford at The Walks this evening (kick-off 7.45pm) in the Evo-Stik Southern Premier Division.
Only Frome Town have taken points off Lynn on their home patch in a 0-0 draw in August and Ian Culverhouse's men will be confident of taking victory against the Hertfordshire side, who the Linnets beat 3-2 earlier in the season.
The Linnets were without a game on Saturday as their clash against Gosport Borough was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch to the frustration of Culverhouse.
"I was really disappointed with the game being off as I was keen for our momentum to continue," he told the club's official website.
"Thankfully we didn't get all the way down there and then it was called off because that would have been very painful.
"It's a shame as well for the supporters who were well on their way down there but I suspect this won't be the last time something like this happens as we begin to see the winter weather affecting things.
"It did though give the players a chance to rest up following Tuesday's fixture and it gave me the chance to do some extra preparation ahead of the Bishop's Stortford game."
Bishop's Stortford have picked up in recent weeks, registering three wins away from home, but Culverhouse is hopeful his side can stay in the mix at the top of the table.
"We have found ourselves in a run of games against teams who for one reason or another have struggled a bit and our in lower positions in the league than they would wish," he added.
"It's a chance for us to add further points to our tally and keep our run going.
"Grant (Holt) and Simon (Lappin) are getting some minutes towards their match fitness which bodes very well for the club as a whole.
"Leon (Mettam) is nearing a return although we will not rush him back as those kind of injuries need careful management and time to ensure a complete recovery.
"Yes, we are in a good place but we have to keep focused and fully concentrated on the job in hand and keep picking up the results."

Ok, this might be overload of blog posts - but who knows when I'll get on the internet again...
When I was feeding baby Elizabeth last night, I almost couldn't handle the contrast.
I've got to correct myself from last night's post: she's 10 months old, not 9.
The exact age of my grandson Gideon.
Just a few hours between me holding him, feeding him, playing with him
And now (trying to) do the same with Elizabeth.
OH, the contrast!!!
Gideon is full of life, smiles, spunk, sounds, loved to the max by not only his parents but his extended family. He's crawling, standing, close to walking (don't you dare take your first step, Gideon, until I'm back!). He eats just about the same food we do, drinks his milk bottles like a champ -
and weighs 3 times as much as Elizabeth!
What I fed Elizabeth last night, was a tiny bit of watery broth/soup with a little fruit juice.
I was told she hardly eats, and doesn't take the bottle, doesn't drink milk.
|Elizabeth is lethargic and can't hold her head up yet, but look - she grabbed my necklace! That's more than what she did 5 months ago!
And all I could think of is this quote I read a while back:
"Where you live shouldn't decide IF you live."
Don't get me wrong. Elizabeth lives and I do believe that she has a bright future ahead of her.
But had Remmie (see article in last post) not stepped up and been willing to face MANY challenges because of it (she's also had to stay with Elizabeth in the hospital LOTS lately, on top of running the home),
Elizabeth wouldn't be here today.
This is just what it WILL take for us Christ-followers to be HIS hands and feet in this hurting world!
Taking a step of obedience and faith and going beyond ourselves and our comfort zone,
holding on to GOD for all we're worth
and then persevering when we feel like we can't do it...
There are more "Remmies" out here - and I'll get to meet some as I move on today!
When I was at Dubai airport, lugging around my 7kg hand-luggage and a heavy backback for a couple of hours (I maxed out on every kg I was allowed to take), I noticed that some people had small carts carrying their hand-luggage - and I thought, heck, why don't I get one of those? And I did manage to find one. What a difference!
The weight of my stuff hadn't changed a bit, and I was still the one "carrying" it.
But because of the carts with 4 wheels, I hardly felt the weight.
I just pushed it along and it was a breeze, whereas before it was getting heavy and tiring.
Part of my mission is to encourage the "Remmies", the ones who do the hard nine yards, caring for the orphans under VERY challenging circumstances and with often very little support.
I feel like God's calling me to provide such carts - some "wheels" to make the burden lighter for these precious ones - through:
(lots of emails have been going back and forth since my last visit)
(Remmie was SO THRILLED when she found out I was visiting again)
And obviously practical and financial help
(I haven't been able to do much of that for Remmie yet)
If she had more money, she could hire more local Mamas to care for the kids, which is a real need and even better than ever-changing volunteers that the kids bond with just to loose them again.
She could also get some new clothes - and cloth diapers (the kids are "wet" most of the time)
She could also get them fresh veggies and fruit.
Oh well, enough rambling - the day is starting - and I'm gonna sign off to have some time with
Thanks for your prayers as this is a big day - including a 4-hour drive to my next destination - and I haven't slept much.

I have four weeks off, while half the class go out on practical. The time I have off is for doing assignments and study. I go out in May for four weeks.
So I am starting off on a good foot. Tomorrow I am going to tech as normal like I normally would and after a meeting with my lecturer about the family study we have to do. I am going to get as much of my first assignment done as possible.
Then pick the kids up and do the housework, dinner, family thing. I want to go to tech as much as possible because if I just come home after dropping the kids off I know I will just muck around. I have just decided (right now on computer) that I am going to go to tech 3 days a week and the other 2 days will be spend here at home, doing bit of study and I have a few things around the house that I need to get done. However my main priority is my assignments. I have been given an amazing four weeks of study and I intend to use it. It could be so easy to sit back for four weeks and procrastinate.
Greys is on tonight :) yay!!!!

A trustee under a will properly was instructed by a Probate Court to pay to a certain charitable corporation a distributive share directed to be paid to it by the will, notwithstanding the fact that under a court decree it had transferred all its assets and charitable activities to another corporation engaged in the same type of charity, and thereafter had paid to the transferee all sums received by it, where it appeared that, continuously since such decree and to the time fixed for distribution by the trustee, the corporation named in the will had kept its corporate organization intact.
PETITION for instructions, filed in the Probate Court for the county of Middlesex on April 8, 1948.
The case was heard by Monahan, J.
J. H. B. Edwards, stated the case.
J. E. Angoff, for Massachusetts Pythian Sisters' Home Association, Inc.
H. Parkman, for The Winchester Home for Aged Women and another.
H. Campbell, for New England Deaconess Hospital.
F. E. Kelly, Attorney General, & G. J. Barry, Assistant Attorney General, for the Attorney General, submitted a brief.
LUMMUS, J. This is a petition by the trustee under the will of Mary E. Robinson, late of Somerville, for instructions as to the distribution of the trust property. The testatrix died on August 25, 1932, aged eighty-six years. At her death her residuary estate amounted to $40,000, but now it amounts to $114,000. The facts are agreed.
Page 259
After some pecuniary legacies, the testatrix gave "to such of the following named institutions as are in existence at the time of my death," namely, Winchester Home for Aged Women, Massachusetts Pythian Sisters' Home, and Palmer Memorial Hospital, the sum of $200 each. A nephew of the testatrix, William A. Dickey, survived her, and died on November 20, 1947. In the event that said nephew survived the testatrix, the will gave the residue to Old Colony Trust Company, in trust, to make certain payments to said nephew during his life, and then provided as follows: "Upon the death of my said nephew, William A. Dickey, my trustee shall pay over all the principal of the trust estate, together with the accumulated income in equal shares to the said Winchester Home for Aged Women, Massachusetts Pythian Sisters' Home and Palmer Memorial Hospital."
The Winchester Home for Aged Women was incorporated in 1865. In 1931, while it was caring for thirty-two aged women at its home on Eden Street in the Charlestown district of Boston, the value of its assets was found to be so greatly diminished that it could no longer maintain that home. For that reason, it was authorized by a decree of this court on May 19, 1931, to transfer all its assets to Home for Aged Women, which assumed all its liabilities including its obligation to care for the inmates of its home. The Home for Aged Women is a charitable corporation which maintains a home on South Huntington Avenue in Boston for the care of aged women. The Home for Aged Women enlarged its home, and received therein twenty-eight inmates of the Eden Street home. They were in the Home for Aged Women at the death of the testatrix. After the decree of May 19, 1931, the organization of the Winchester Home for Aged Women was maintained unimpaired to the present time, and nothing has been done looking to its dissolution. Annual meetings have been regularly held, and officers have been elected annually. All receipts of the Winchester Home for Aged Women since that decree have been paid over promptly to the Home for Aged Women.
Page 260
The Palmer Memorial Hospital is not a corporation, but is one of the three hospital units owned and operated by New England Deaconess Hospital.
The Massachusetts Pythian Sisters' Home contends that no distribution should be made to the Winchester Home for Aged Women or the Home for Aged Women, but that the third given in the will to Winchester Home for Aged Women should be distributed to Massachusetts Pythian Sisters' Home under the cy pres doctrine; or, in the alternative, should be divided between Massachusetts Pythian Sisters' Home and Palmer Memorial Hospital. The guardian ad litem for certain heirs of the testatrix contends that the third given in the will to Winchester Home for Aged Women should be distributed to the heirs of the testatrix as intestate property. The judge, by his decree of November 17, 1948, ordered distribution to Winchester Home for Aged Women, Massachusetts Pythian Sisters' Home, and New England Deaconess Hospital, one third to each. Massachusetts Pythian Sisters' Home Association, Inc., [Note 1] appealed, stating that it was aggrieved by that portion of the decree that ordered a third distributed to the Winchester Home for Aged Women.
The appellant contends that the requirement that the beneficiary should be in existence at the death of the testatrix should be read by implication into the provision for the ultimate distribution of the residue. Even if that should be done, it would not be decisive in favor of the appellant. Winchester Home for Aged Women is still "in existence," although not active. In Old Colony Trust Co. v. Third Universalist Society of Cambridge, 285 Mass. 146, legacies were given to "Third Universalist Society of Cambridge." That society had voted to discontinue active services, and to transfer its property to the Massachusetts Universalist Convention; and the transfer was made. It voted to take necessary steps for the dissolution of the society, but no effective steps were taken to dissolve the society. Each of
Page 261
the testators died subsequent to those votes. Rugg, C.J., said at page 149, "It [the society] continues to exist with full corporate powers. It has not been dissolved. It is capable of accepting such legacies as here are in question without overstepping the bounds of its corporate competency. Nonuser by the corporation of its corporate powers works no forfeiture of them and does not operate as a surrender of its charter." See also Boston Safe Deposit & Trust Co. v. Stratton, 259 Mass. 465.
The decree is affirmed. The matter of the allowance of costs and expenses is to be in the discretion of the Probate Court.
So ordered.
[Note 1] This is the corporate name of Massachusetts Pythian Sisters' Home, named in the will. -- REPORTER.

Equine Mortality Insurance
The Full Mortality equine insurance policy, also referred to as "All Risk", will provide coverage on the life of the horse. "All Risk" is the broadest coverage form available, subject to exclusions which are stated in the policy.
Your horse is covered for death due to accident, injury, illness, disease or humane destruction (when deemed necessary by a veterinarian) and theft. In addition, companies may include up to $5,000 in colic surgery expense at no extra charge.
Is my horse eligible for equine mortality insurance?
Horses from 24 hours of age to age 20 are eligible, depending on the carrier. They must be sound and must have a substantiated economic value as indicated, for example, by show records. Note that in general horses can only be insured for their actual purchase price during the first year of ownership.
Requirements to begin equine mortality insurance coverage: A completed signed application is required for new and renewal business along with information to substantiate the insurable value. Depending on the value of the horse and any pre-existing conditions, either a Health Statement completed and signed by you or a current Veterinary Certificate of Examination will be required. Usually, the vet exam can be waived on sound horses valued at $100,000 or less, depending on the requirements of the insurance company.
Important Note: There are additional requirements for foals under 31 days of age. Please contact our agency for more information.
Cost: The cost to insure for Full Mortality depends on the risk – the age of the horse, breed and how the horse is used. For example, the rate applied to new born foals will be higher than the rate on a mature horse. The rates on hunters or jumpers are usually higher than on horses that are not used over fences. Overage rates may apply after age 13, again depending on the carrier. Minimum policy premiums apply.
Note: Detailed information is needed when requesting a quote.

This is one of the best fake trailers I've ever seen. I could totally see this movie plot happening, likely starring Will Smith to show his dramatic range.

As China has become the largest oil consumer replacing the U.S., it is pertinent that the country starts thinking about its energy security. In the same direction now Chinese oil companies are competing in Brazil's auction which is going to be held today. The giant Libra field in Brazil represents a change in strategy for Chinese oil companies in the sense that it will be their riskiest Latin American investment if successful.
Chinese oil companies are known for investing in safe oil fields; however, in Libra field two companies i.e. Cnooc Ltd. and China National Petroleum Corp. are contesting with nine other companies for what may become one of the world's two largest deep-water fields. According to experts, if Chinese companies are successful in bidding, they would need to invest an estimated $185 billion.
Chinese Companies Would Need to do Heavy Investment if they Win the Bid
Heavy investments are definitely going to be a major contention for bidders; however, Brazil has vowed to press ahead with the auction of the first of its giant offshore oil discoveries which it is selling under a new regulatory regime. The country thinks that it will gain from the auction despite lower-than-expected industry interest and union opposition.
The union opposition has come from employees of Petrobras, the state-owned oil company. The employees at Petrobras contest that the impending auction of the Libra ultra-deepwater field to foreigners is not a good idea. According to estimates Libra holds as much as 12 billion barrels, or three years of China's consumption.
As China's energy requirements widen, the country will have to think of investing in riskier oil fields that will need a lot of investment. The other competitors of Chinese oil companies are Royal Dutch Shell Plc. and France's Total SA. According to some energy market observers it is too big an opportunity for the Chinese companies to miss.
According to energy market observers winning the license to exploit oil in Libra field would shift strategy for Chinese state producers to one of drilling and developing new deposits. Currently, China's state-controlled oil companies are not doing much of drilling in deep waters and this will be an opportunity and challenge as well.
According to Brazil's regulator Libra field has a reserve of 12 billion. However, some skeptics say that the estimates are still based on relatively limited information and could be subject to important adjustments as more information becomes available.

Friends teased Joanie Kotick when she bought her Sutton Place apartment a few years ago. She was in her early thirties, and the formal co-op seemed better suited to her grandmother (who did, and does, actually live there). I truly thought I was the only [person my age] there, says Kotick. But lately, three units in the building have changed hands, and all went from elderly residents to twenty- and thirtysomethings. Kotick's spotted other young folks in the laundry room, too. Now, when visitors stop by, they'll no longer run into four 90-year-olds in the elevator, she jokes.
As parents stay in New York to raise children, buildings like Kotick's are being transformed. Many of those changes haven't gone so smoothly. Carol Burstein, a psychologist, says her Upper West Side building is livelier now that it has kids around, but she dislikes the strollers and car seats stashed in the hallway. It just looks unseemly, she says. (Some co-ops have added rules about common-space clutter; one Park Avenue prewar has a designated carriage area.) Bellmarc broker Julie Friedman, who's a mom, isn't surprised. It's as if public spaces have gone private, she says. Doors papered with school artwork and kids running amok in lobbies are also the source of regular complaints. Graduate student John Franchak says every time he throws a party at his Stuyvesant Town apartment, he worries that he'll be turned in by the noise police. Everyone seems middle-aged or older, he says.
Generational differences are only the beginningthe real strife is, inevitably, over money. John deBary just moved to Washington Heights, and he senses that his neighbors, mostly rent-stabilized immigrant families, have kept him and his roommates at arm's length. There's no animus, but it feels like we portend the future, he says. One board member in a Manhattan co-op that used to be very low-key says that ever since the building has welcomed wealthier types, she's been been facing regular demands to hire doormen. When they spend lots of money on their apartments, they feel more entitled, she says with a sigh. I watch this stuff coming inthe Sub-Zeros, the Wolf rangesand I think, Oh, what have we wrought?


text: Corn Drops Amid Reduced Concern About Ukraine Export Disruption March 5, 2014 02:05 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email Corn and wheat fell in Chicago on reduced concern that Russia's military incursion into Crimea will disrupt grain exports from Ukraine, where ports were reported to be working normally. Russian President Vladimir Putin said yesterday he saw no immediate need to invade Ukraine while leaving open the possibility of using force. Ports in Ukraine were working as usual, according to Eurogal Surveys, which provides information on shipping risk in the country to Lloyd's of London. Corn for delivery in May slipped 0.2 percent to $4.835 a bushel at 5:49 a.m. on the Chicago Board of Trade after touching a six-month high of $4.85 yesterday. Wheat for the same delivery month fell 0.1 percent to $6.4275 a bushel and milling wheat for delivery in May traded on NYSE Liffe in Paris rose 1.2 percent to 206.50 euros ($283.23) a metric ton. "The markets are still hanging on the evolution of the crisis in Ukraine," Paris-based farm adviser Agritel, which has an office in Kiev, wrote in a market comment. "Black Sea loadings nevertheless continue without noticeable distortion at the moment." Port and shipping operations mostly continued as normal, with cargo movements out of Ukraine's Black Sea ports yet to be affected by the escalation, according to Western Bulk ASA, which operates more than 120 vessels moving commodities. Spring Sowing Ukraine, set to be this season's third-biggest corn exporter and sixth for wheat, put its military on high alert after Russia seized control of Crimea. While export or spring- planting disruptions in Ukraine may bolster prices for now, global inventories are sufficient to offset modest disruptions, said Goldman Sachs Group Inc. "Easing concerns over export disruption in Black Sea region are weighing on prices," Vanessa Tan, an analyst at Phillip Futures Pte, said by phone from Singapore today. Ukraine is forecast to export 18.3 million tons of corn in the 2013-14 season through June, ranking behind only Brazil and the U.S., according to the International Grains Council. The nation may boost wheat exports this season to 9.5 million tons, the IGC estimates. Soybeans for delivery in May were little changed at $14.225 a bushel in Chicago. Back to news

Everybody says that they all have business intelligence applications. Everybody says that they develop business intelligence applications, including me . But all BI applications are truly giving BI? What it provides? An indicator formed with a traffic light? A speedometer showing performance or actual of a KPI?
I have been designing and developing many modules related to business intelligence for years. Yes, we tried our best to convert data into information spending considerable, costly time with cleansing, validating, structuring formed/unformed data. I assumed that I had truly implemented BI. Although the success was seen with many cases, sometimes it ended up with just a centralized repository. A stranded repository, a stranded treasure. That is where I felt that I have lost in BI.
There can be many reasons for such unsatisfactory finale. I looked back, figured out few. They looked very simple but they have been ignored partially, sometime fully but not purposely. You may do it too, you may not, however, let me share them, you may consider them as precautional steps.
Neglect the champion (not purposely)
This is the most common mistake we always make. Being an IT guy with experience, I still think that I am not qualified enough for structuring the data warehouse in terms of business types or the domain. I am not talking about setting up ragged hierarchies, setting up slowly-changing dimensions or partitioning OLAP DW for real-time BI. This is all about structuring information for the domain, for the business, using their own business language. That you in deed need a business user, a champion. Once I faced for this;
"Dinesh, I see a discrepancy in financial figures, have you taken "control accounts" into consideration when calculating revised budgets for projects?"
That was something I was unaware. He started seeing inaccurate info in my BI solution and he lost the interest in my BI solution. This simply explains that no matter how hard you struggle to implement the solution, if business users see it as useless for them, you fail. The lesson I learnt from this was, never implement a BI solution without a champion.
Visualization is the key
Here are two quotes from two different business users;
"I like these graphical representations, I love this slicing-dicing feature that truly shows the insights"
"This dashboard makes me confused, too many gadgets, can I see the revenue of my companies in a simple manner?"
Many get attracted by interactive widgets but some do not. This is what we need to understand, this is what I realized. When you make a solution, make sure that right visualization is available regardless of the level of the business user because we cannot insist or force them to use what we have implemented without a proper business case. One could be looking for a simple scorecard that shows green-amber-red traffic lights, another could be looking for a trend-chart combined with what-if analysis. Requirements could be different from company to company, user to user but having a fully-fledge solution will allow you to win the heart of any sort of audience. Therefore, do not just design the data warehouse without thinking the visualization of the output and profiles of consumers.
Analysis cannot be performed
This is what I have witnessed with most BI solutions, they provide standard way of reporting, either production or analytical, or some dashboards. It can be a set of reports that have static columns with collapse and expand feature. It can be a dashboard with pre-defined, in other word, static graphical widgets. What if user says that I cannot perform what I have been doing, here is an example, I was questioned;
"Why can't I add sales and distributor vehicle unavailability in to same chart and do a comparison? I have been doing it manually with Excel."
The information on vehicle unavailability was not programmatically maintained, it was a manual, irregular recording which was performed on demand. But he has been doing it with his own Excel sheet. Yes, we can argue that information is not electronically available, hence it cannot be fulfilled with current BI solution but what if I simply allow him to upload his manual work and combine them with facts in DW supporting his analysis? If I had known all sort of analysis performed by business users, I would have made sure that everything was covered, at leaset with workarounds.
Though there are more, I think these three are the keys for failing BI solutions, making DW/BI solutions handicapped. If your solution is being built, make sure they have been considered.

Text appeal: Women describing themselves as sweet, ambitious or thoughtful are more likely to attract male attention and receive admiring messages on online dating websites (illustrated), while men who claim they are physically fit or describe themselves as perceptive, passionate or optimistic prove more irresistible to women A study of 12,000 online dating profiles posted on e uk found that women describing themselves as sweet, ambitious or thoughtful are more likely to attract male attention and receive admiring messages.
But did you know that one in three couples now find love online?

🙂 Whichever username you choose, make sure it is not obscene or overly dramatic.
In this fast-paced, social media-dependent world, we rely on the Internet for everything – from keeping in touch with old school friends and career networking to ordering takeaways and finding a cat-sitter for that weekend away.
So it only seems logical you would use the good old Internet for finding that special someone, too. Sometimes they know you better than you know yourself.

88 Handbags Review
Written by: Marquardt Chick
About 88
I love the symbolic meanings behind the brand 88. There 88 constellations in the sky and in ham radio 88 is the sign off that means love and kisses. These two meanings stand out to me with this company since 88 is a vegan brand and no animal products are used. It's great to see more and more vegan designer bags on the market as an animal-friendly option. Keeping the environment in mind with all aspects of production as well as keeping the quality of their products to high standards ensures that 88 is proud of every product they ship out.

Party Has Renewed Confidence That It Can Hang On to Congress
SAN DIEGO -- For GOP members of Congress, it has been almost giddy out here this week.
After taking a beating all year, Republicans are leaving this sunny city with renewed confidence that, win or lose at the presidential level, they can now hold on to their power in Congress.
House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott...

A few years ago, someone said to me, "I choose a new word to carry with me through the new year."
So I thought I'd try it. It started with "Introspection" in 2016. And that continued into 2017. Not because I hadn't done enough the first year, but because our lives changed so much in the last few years, and we continued to face challenges in 2017. Challenges that really tested us. Our strength, our perseverance, our faith.
Like many, we are concerned about the deepening divide in our country, and what that means for our future and the future for our sons. But at times, political issues were almost a welcome distraction from what was happening in our personal lives.
I have continued to struggle with my health, living with an illness we have chosen to call "Moriarty". I refuse to own it, to call it 'my' illness, or 'my' diagnosis. So it needed a name, a proper villain name. Something bookish for this bibliophile, something clever and cunning; not one that fights with brute strength, but really gets into your head. What better adversary that Sherlock Holmes' arch nemesis?
Along with physical issues, I have also dealt with mental health issues, some as a result of living with chronic illness, but also dealing with PTSD triggers. All while having to move out of one rental into another. But what a blessing! I believe we hit the landlord jackpot with this one! Quick to take care of things, and very kind. And gave us flowers for a housewarming gift!
We also suffered loss in 2017. Our sweet Sissy Kitty became ill, and despite my best efforts, we lost her. She was the first pet we had adopted into our family as a couple, and the first pet my children have ever had. And the first time we had to make 'the decision'. Ugh. If you have ever had to deal with a seriously ill pet, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Much greater loss for us was that of my dear parents-in-love. Watching their health decline so quickly, and from so far away (we live in the Midwest, all of the family is in the NW), was heart wrenching. We lost my Honey's mom in February, his father in July, a week after our move. I continue to walk with my husband through this loss, through the recent holidays and their 41st anniversary yesterday (they were married on New Years Eve! How awesome is that?) The idea that we are starting a new year without loved ones that started last year with us feels unreal. We miss them so much, and I am so thankful to them for raising the wonderful man I married.
Through all this, all we walked through, we learned a lot about ourselves and our family. But now it's 2018 and it's time for a new word: Healing.
Yes, some of this is driven by my desire for more energy and less pain. But it is more than that. It's also a desire to see the beginning of healing of our divided country. To see peace in the city I live in. And to see growth in the people serve and love.
And with this new year, also comes a renewing of this blog. It will still include stories of my own adventure, with maybe a bit of humor sprinkled here and there, and hopefully insights that will touch someones heart. But I'm also looking to include more. We have taken on the honor of homeschooling three of our sons, so we will see a bit of that journey. Health will definitely be a frequent subject. Next week is the beginning of an 'elimination' diet to find sensitivities and maybe reset our health a little. You'll all get a peek into the good, the bad, and the ugly of that ride. Maybe I'll share books I've read (so many good books!), maybe tell you about a new gadget I can't live without. And of course, I will include some of my art, because I live to create!
I would like to say I have a 'schedule', like health on Tuesdays, and reviews on Fridays. And I kind of do, or at least had the intention. But adventure is rarely so regimented. Neither am I. So this blog will reflect who I am. It will be a free-spirited, free-flowing, quirky, bright, bold, earthy, real adventure.
See you soon!

"I've tried a lot of different ways of making spaghetti sauce, and this is the way I do it most often. It has a flavor that can't be beaten, at least not easily. It was originally a recipe for Chicken Cacciatore in a Betty Crocker cookbook, but I've modified it a bunch, so it's just not the same any more - and this tastes better than the original."
