Evaluate investment options and anticipate future rate changes in order to set an optimal cash position and strategy.
Many financial decision-makers see today's rising rates as either a brand-new phenomenon or an operating environment that they haven't faced for more than a decade. Corporates will be required to analyze their short-term cash and cash position differently in order to prepare for the long haul.
The convergence of mobile technology and digital commerce is leading to real time payment innovation around the world.
Cash balances continue to remain high; there's a large investment in bank products and organizations have no plans to invest in prime money market funds. Could that change?
While much of the talk around money funds asks why corporates left, AFP's survey attempted to dig a little deeper. We asked practitioners what might entice them to come back. Would it be a stable NAV? Is it a certain number of basis points? Is it the uncertainty around it?
Real-time payments can help accelerate payments to speed up delivery, improve incoming cash flow or support cash on delivery payment terms.
Real-time payments represent a new phase in the evolution of digital payments. In the U.S., PNC Bank, along with other members of The Clearing House, is leading the way with the development of a Real Time Payments network -- the first new U.S. payment network in over 40 years. It's a totally new payment type.
Changes to the NACHA Operating Rules, which govern the use of ACH, now enable ACH participants to speed delivery of more time-sensitive ACH transactions.
Same Day ACH has been especially beneficial when businesses experienced a delay in creating their direct deposit payroll files. Activating Same Day ACH allowed the files to be processed immediately and their employees were paid on time.
Are you facing international cash management challenges without uniform internal systems – and with thinly-spread local staff?
According to a 2016 Ovum survey of 200 treasurers in 23 countries, only 13% of multinational corporates can see their real-time global cash position. Treasury teams need to achieve a greater degree of centralization and regain control of their company's most important asset: cash.
When you plan for the cost of new equipment, don't forget to plan for the significant portion of the total equipment expense called "soft costs."
Finding a lender with a strong specialty in equipment financing and who understands more than just the invoice amount is key. As long as soft costs stay within certain parameters of the total investment, you can fold them into your affordable monthly equipment payment, preserving your cash for more important needs.
Is your suppliers' reluctance or refusal to accept electronic payments a barrier to increased usage? Here are some tips for driving increased commercial card acceptance.
Integrate supplier calls into your Accounts Payable (AP) department to introduce commercial card as a payment option that creates benefits for both parties. Incorporate commercial card payment information into standard communications (e.g., emails, check communications) with suppliers. Contact suppliers regularly to engage them directly on commercial card acceptance.
Between 2009 and 2015, commercial card volume almost doubled, as more companies switched from checks to electronic payments.
However, the rate of growth in commercial card volume has been slowing in recent years and fell to just 8% in 2015. This slowdown can be attributed to a number of factors, including organizational inertia, reluctance to overhaul legacy payment systems, or the belief that suppliers will not accept electronic payments.
One of the operational areas that offer considerable potential for technology-based transformation is the payments system.
Your financial institution should support you in recruiting suppliers to accept electronic payments, continually monitor the effectiveness of optimization efforts, identify issues with supplier recruitment, and activation of suppliers who have agreed to accept electronic payments.
Today's rising interest rate environment may make it possible to improve your return on short-term cash.
Investment policies should include formalized forecasting and contingency plans to prepare key decision-makers for unexpected events. Contingency plans should include a scenario analysis that details events of varying risk or magnitude and how the company will react. For example — divest, stay the course or become more conservative.
Corporate financial managers must consider the impact of interest rate forecasts, future GDP estimates and potential tax reform on corporate cash strategies.
A number of short-term investment options have become part of the consideration set because of the rising market. They include variable net asset value prime money market funds, separately managed accounts and conservative ultra-short bond funds.
Three key areas of focus emanating from the new Administration and Congress are positive for the economy and growth: cutting taxes, infrastructure investment and less regulation.

Technological advancements have led to shortened product development times, faster products to market, better distribution systems and streamlined purchasing.
While banks and FinTech providers can at one level be seen as competitors, there is increasing recognition by both sides of the strengths and limitations each possesses. This mutual recognition of their relative strengths and limitations is leading to increased collaboration between the two.
FinTech's significance is underscored by the exponential growth in venture capital investing in the sector in recent years.
Going forward, FinTech is expected to impact a broad mix of financial service categories, including payments. Many financial service providers are preparing for this new reality by making strategic investments in and partnering with FinTech firms, as well as developing their own solutions.
Distributed ledger technologies record transactions in a decentralized network. The record of each transaction is shared across a network of computers.
While FinTech firms are helping to accelerate the pace of technological advancement within the industry, banks are investing in new technologies to provide better/faster/cheaper and more secure services to their client base.
Along with consistent growth, U.S. insurance firms are facing pressure on their bottom lines due to increased competition, low interest rates and regulatory changes.
By automating claims payments, insurance firms can reduce their reliance on checks and add disbursement options including ACH, prepaid cards and even same-day or real-time mobile solutions. Insurance firms can also improve receivables processing as well by accepting premium payments and contributions to annuities or other investment accounts in a variety of formats.
Long a trusted resource for financial institutions, SWIFT also supports corporate treasurers as they face expanding roles and shrinking resources.
SWIFT provides messaging standards that define a common means of structuring data for a broad range of financial purposes, from cash management and foreign exchange to trade finance. Additionally, SWIFT provides a highly secure proprietary communication platform and products such as SWIFT FileAct, which supports the exchange of bulk files between corporates and banks.
As e-commerce moves towards 10% share of total retail sales, mobile commerce is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years.
Widespread consumer adoption of payment technologies can lead to demand in the commercial space. For these reasons, trends in consumer payment innovation can be early indicators for changes in commercial payments.
The controls that come with the latest commercial payment methods enable CFOs, controllers and program administrators to exercise greater control over payment systems and practices.
The potential benefits associated with strong controls can be significant in terms of cost savings and peace of mind. Conversely, failure to implement appropriate payment controls can subject an organization to unnecessary financial risk.
You can find relief by improving management of invoice processing through payment.
Invoice automation can help you optimize the use of employee resources, significantly decrease the cost of processing invoices, help you capture vendor discounts more reliably and increase scale within your back office.

bottom-line benefits for you.
Although U.S. companies have historically believed that negotiating international agreements in USD insulates them from exposure to currency volatility, it also puts them at a competitive disadvantage compared to companies that transact in local currency.
Changes to the NACHA Operating Rules will allow ACH participants to speed delivery of transactions that are more time sensitive than traditional ACH transactions.
Employers who want more flexibility in timing payroll, insurance carriers committed to fast payout of claims and reimbursements, individuals who need to get money to family members quickly, and billers wanting to offer a same day bill payment option are just a few of the groups looking forward to Same Day ACH.
Around the world, the momentum behind the move to real-time payments (RTP) — or "Immediate Payments," as they're often termed — is unstoppable and growing.
The U.S. has been conspicuous in its absence from the list of countries embracing RTP. That's changing fast, with a surge of activity and initiatives under way to bring payments in the U.S. up to speed with the rest of the world. These moves involve a broad range of players, and an approach specifically geared to the unique needs and requirements of the U.S. market.
In our fast-moving world, payment systems must evolve to keep pace. Quicker payout, more flexibility, better control and improved cash flow are what customers expect today.
With encouragement from the Federal Reserve, the industry is responding to the demand for faster payments. Three leading organizations are already rolling out new payment options.
Many companies have found growth opportunities elusive and are focused on maintaining operational efficiency.
The increasing speed of doing business, the rise of globalization, the continued drive to identify and capture efficiencies, and the need to optimize relationships with suppliers and customers are driving companies to incorporate new technologies into their business processes.

Many companies are interested in realizing the potential bottom-line benefits of payables automation but are unsure of how to introduce it. These 10 steps can help.
Among the steps companies can take toward payables automation are reaching out to their bank's treasury management officer, crafting a strategy, obtaining active buy-in from senior management, designating an executive sponsor and forming a payables auotmation project team with representation from various units.
In navigating through the sluggish growth environment of recent years, U.S. companies have increasingly focused on improving efficiency throughout their organizations.
Many companies have found significant opportunities for efficiency gains by introducing automation into their accounts payable opertaions. In addition to helping with efficiency, automation can offer a number of other benefits, including reduced costs and greater visibility into their pending financial obligations.
Companies are beginning to recognize the importance of having an investment policy that provides clear direction on how investments will be managed and how much risk is acceptable.
A solid investment policy include formalized forecasting and contingency plans to prepare key decision-makers for unexpected events. Contingency plans should include a scenario analysis that details events of varying risk or magnitude and how the company will react. For example — divest, stay the course, or become more conservative.
Does your company have a well-thought-out investment policy? Does your policy have clear, measurable objectives? Has it been written down and shared with the appropriate team?
Putting your investment policy in writing is the foundation of effective investing. Your policy should provide benchmarks to help you evaluate how well it is working and what changes may be needed to make it more effective. While every company is different several elements should be part of every policy.

Russian rhythmic superstar Yevgenia Kanayeva defended her Olympic gold medal Saturday in the final at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Kanayeva posted the top score on every event to easily take the gold medal over teammate Daria Dmitriyeva, 116.900-114.500. Belarusian Lyubov Charkashyna grabbed the bronze with 111.700.
With 17 world championship gold medals, the 22-year-old Kanayeva is already the most successful rhythmic gymnast of all time. On Saturday, she added another historic footnote by accomplishing what no other rhythmic gymnast has done: win a second Olympic gold medal in the individual all-around.
Prior to Saturday, only three rhythmic gymnasts have two Olympic medals in the all-around: Ukraine's Anna Bessonova (bronze in 2004 and 2008), Russia's Alina Kabayeva (bronze in 2000 and gold in 2004), Alexandra Timoshenko (bronze in 1988 for the Soviet Union and gold in 1992 for Ukraine).
The 19-year-old Dmitriyeva, a late replacement for injured teammate Alexandra Merkulova, had the second-best score on every event. Staring with 28.300 with the hoops, she increased her score by each event, scoring 28.350 with the ball, 28.750 with the clubs and finally 29.100 with the ribbon.
With the gold and silver comfortably sewn up by the Russians, the battle for bronze was the biggest fight of the day at Wembley Arena.
After the first rotation, Charkashyna put her in third ahead of Korean Son Yeon-Jae and Azerbaijan's Aliya Garayeva. Son's elegant ball routine, which scored just .025 behind Dmitriyeva, shot the Korean to third place at the halfway point.
But Son lost her chance for a medal with her clubs exercise, which brought only the ninth-best score on that apparatus, 26.750. Charkashyna moved back into the bronze medal spot with 27.525 on clubs, but Garayeva kept the pressure on her with 27.575.
Garayeva saved her best for last, earning 28.250 with the ribbon and moving into a medal position. But Charkashyna, 24, delivered 28.075 to knock her off the podium by .125.
Son closed with 28.350, the third-best ribbon score behind the Russians, but it wasn't enough to move her into the medals and she missed the bronze by .225. Son, 18, has quickly become one of the most popular faces in Korean sports and is sought after for endorsements.
Olympic gymnastics competition concludes Sunday with the group final. The Russian group, which topped Italy and Belarus in qualification, is favored to take another gold.

BOSTON (CBS) – It's a spot that not many believed they would be in, but the Boston Celtics are just one win away from the NBA Finals.
They need to get that win Thursday night in Boston. And while it may say Game 6 on the tickets, the Celtics are taking it as a do-or-die Game 7.
"Right now, Game 7 is Thursday for us," guard Ray Allen said after Boston's 94-90 win in Miami.
"Listen, we have one home game left," head coach Doc Rivers said Wednesday afternoon. "And that's it in this series. We have to understand that, and we have to come with that sense of urgency. I think our guys get that. They know what's at stake. And so does Miami."
On Thursday, the Celtics need to exercise their close-out game demons and put the Heat away, saving them a trip back to South Beach for an actual Game 7. Everyone knows what can happen in those…
Since the new Big Three came together, the Celtics are just 11-13 in close-out games. This postseason, Boston is 2-2 in those situations, needing an extra game to close out both the Hawks and 76ers. In the first two rounds, both of the first potential series-enders came on the road. This time, the Celtics need to take full advantage of that "Jungle" atmosphere, where they are 9-2 in close-out games in the last five years.
Read: Celtics-Heat Game 6 Preview
The Celtics have the Heat on the ropes, doubting themselves once again as they have lost three straight. But the Heat were not out of any of those games, and the Celtics needed to withstand the runs that everyone knows the explosive Miami collection of players can go on.
The savvy veterans did just that with authority in Game 5. When the Heat went on a 9-0 run in the middle of the fourth quarter, giving them a 78-72 lead at the time, the C's responded with a 10-2 run of their own. It started with Mickael Pietrus' clutch three off a touch-pass from Rajon Rondo, and even when Mario Chalmers hit a three to end the run – and put the Heat up 83-82 – Pietrus responded with another three.
For Boston, the key will be to get out to a good start. Let Kevin Garnett continue to do his thing, and hope those that struggled in Game 5 can put it together. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo all struggled offensively Tuesday night, going 11-for-43 from the field. Getting them going early is a must, and if the Celtics can get Miami in an early hole, they need to keep pushing. Both teams will make their runs; the Celtics will need to respond the way they did Tuesday night.
On defense, stops are key. Keeping the Heat from attacking the basket, and away from the free throw line, is what has Boston one win from the Finals. Even with Chris Bosh back, and likely starting Wednesday night, Rivers said the Celtics won't be changing much. Because really, they can't.
"I think it's just us sticking to our original game plan," Rivers said Wednesday. "We've made some adjustments that have worked, but they've made some that have worked as well. So I don't know if there's been an edge there or not. I think at the end of the day, we know who we are. We are who we are, and we're not going to change who we are, because we really can't. We don't have enough guys to do it. The only change that I would say that we've made in a big way is that we've played small more than big. Other than that, we pretty much have stuck to our guns, because I don't think we have enough to change a whole bunch and our guys understand that."
The smaller lineup has worked wonders for Boston, especially with Pietrus finding his game — both on offense and defense — as of late.
Read: James' Season On The Brink In Boston — Again
The Heat will not go away easy. Their reputations, and coach's job, are on the line in Boston. If the Celtics can use this against LeBron, Wade and co., they'll be heading to their third NBA Finals in the last five years for a date with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
If not it's back to Miami for one final game Saturday night. And anything can happen in a Game 7.

Have the BIM Truth Talk with Your Boss, Part 28 Jun, 2011 By: Robert Green
Readers share their struggles with managing their managers' expectations.
In the previous edition of the CAD Manager's Newsletter, we talked about the realities of BIM (building information modeling) and how to convince your senior management team that despite what marketing hype might indicate, BIM implementation doesn't just magically happen. I hope that since reading that column, you've thought about how to present this information to your managers.
In this edition, I'd like to expand on a few of the comments I've received from readers. My goal is to broaden the discussion of what management expects from BIM, and explain how you can best manage those expectations. Here goes.
A BIM Reality Story
I received a very well-written response from a CAD manager who has taken a company through the grind of BIM implementation, and it perfectly illustrates how the process really works. G.S. writes:
"When we first started using Revit there were many obstacles, like learning the software, developing our library, and developing Revit elements to harness the power of the software, such as well-made schedules. This is why I really feel we have turned a corner in our development, but we have been working on this for over three years. Not everyone in the office is using the software, but we are getting closer each day. One obstacle to upgrading people's skills to include Revit is users resisting the change. For example, I worked for more than a year on a Revit project with the project architect saying, 'I will get into the program and learn it all through the process.' We finished the job and he has still not opened the file even once. He is too attached to how he has done it in AutoCAD, and has gone kicking and screaming through this project (almost literally). What has helped is management being there to back me up and say to him, 'This is what we are doing, and this is the future.'"
I love G.S.'s comments because they take us through the chronological progression of BIM implementation (learning, standards, customization) and the frustrations (user resistance, continued use of old tools), and the ultimate fallback strategy of having management back you up when times get tough.
Also note that in this example, the time frame cited is three years, and the implementation is still a work in progress! If your management team still thinks that the switch to BIM takes place overnight, use G.S.'s comments as a starting point for an honest conversation about a realistic BIM implementation plan.
BIM Economics
Another great reader e-mail came from a CAD manager at a mechanical contracting firm that works as a subcontractor to architectural firms. W.P. writes:
"Until a fee structure is decided upon and implemented for BIM, its implementation will continue to be a low priority in the architectural community. This comes directly from my boss, who is also the owner of our company."
This statement hits the nail on the head with respect to the lack of financial incentive for companies to use BIM. To put it another way, companies will never truly prioritize using BIM until they can get paid to do so. So until the building owner is willing to pay for BIM models, there's no compelling reason to provide those files.
CAD managers must be aware that when management feels that there is a lack of definition around the business parameters governing BIM, they will be skeptical until project contracts define those parameters. CAD managers should focus on being involved in project contract requirements and ensuring that any BIM-related issues are examined in detail, so management fully understands the ramifications.
You First!
A number of readers reported that their company sees no compelling reason to delve into BIM until everybody else does. A well-worded example of this was sent in by B.B., who writes:
"As a 2D CAD operator/manager for an HVAC/plumbing subcontractor, the conversation that I had with senior management went like this:
Me: 'The BIM software — even though it is new and untested, and will take months to a year or two to fully implement and run properly — is something that we should start looking into and understanding how it will not only affect how we do internal drawings, but also how we will interact in the future of our business doing design/build work.'
Management: 'None of the customers, GCs, and architects that we deal with are using it. The engineer that we hire to seal our work for permitting doesn't use it. We will deal with the BIM issue when our customer base starts using it and asks us to do the same.'
End of conversation. And this happened three years ago, before the bottom of the market fell out."
Amplifying this point, W.P. wrote:
"Autodesk and Bentley can push BIM all they like, but what we get paid for is generation of 2D legal documents on paper."
I've heard these exact lines of reasoning from many senior management staffs who are hesitant to take on the risk and cost to implement BIM until a clear requirement to do so is articulated by their clients. Since this argument is based on finance and market demand, there is essentially nothing a CAD manager can do to move BIM forward in this situation.
The best CAD management strategy to pursue in this case is to read as much as you can, download trial software, and generally be as ready as possible for the day when BIM becomes a project requirement. And since you'll have to confront BIM when customers demand it, you should understand that the need will be urgent once it does arise.
Uncertainty Rules
One of the most important conclusions I've come to regarding BIM implementation is that nobody really knows what BIM means yet. BIM is still in its infancy, and given the uncertainty of what will happen with BIM tools, it is totally understandable that many business owners will continue to misunderstand it.
Uncertainty is part of any new technology, and moving from where we are now to being fully BIM will take years and be very disruptive. In fact, I see little difference between the transition to BIM now and the transition to 2D CAD in the late 1980s! As a CAD manager, all you can do is manage the process as best you can.
Summing Up
In the next issue of the CAD Manager's Newsletter, I'll conclude this series on BIM by contrasting BIM implementation with 3D mechanical software implementation techniques that have been working for decades now. I think you'll find the comparison thought-provoking.
In the meantime, I welcome your feedback and stories about BIM at your company. You can reach me at email@example.com.

Interview with Tigran Mkrtchyan on the Armenian-Turkish protocols (in Armenian)
Tigran Mkrtchyan, ESI Analyst from Armenia, was invited to comment on the Armenian-Turkish protocols in Petros Ghazaryan's "Urvagits" talk-show. The topic of discussion was a detailed analysis of the nature of the protocols. While there is a debate in Armenia and abroad that the protocols include certain Turkish preconditions as posited by Turkey since 1991, Tigran argues that the protocols do not include those preconditions. Tigran argues that the current government continues the policies of former governments (ie. relations without preconditions and campaign for international recognition of the Armenian genocide) and contradicts earlier official statements that there is an apparent deviation from the main policies of the previous government.

Halcyon House is a unique and luxury hotel in Australia that is situated in the tranquil beach town of Cabarita Beach and in one of the best surf spots in the country.
Region Information
Australian Favourites
Australia's most easterly point - Byron Bay is popular with surfers and tourists, due to its combination of breathtaking coastal scenery, consistent world class surf, wildlife, whale watching, snorkelling, sky diving, dining and nightlife .
The Byron region delivers hollow sand bottom barrels at The Pass, Broken and Lennox Head, not to mention the dozen or so quality beach breaks within half an hour's drive.
If you want a change of pace the Gold Coast is only an hour's drive north. The Gold coast boasts five outstanding point breaks on a short 12km stretch, two of which are world class and one – Kirra Point is often voted world's best point break.
Surf spots like Snapper Rocks, Greenmount and Currumbin Point are as good as anyone might want and often less crowded than the bigger name spots: Burleigh Heads and Kirra Point. There's great shopping, dining, nightlife and theme parks for the kids.
The Villas of Byron offer you unique and luxurious surf and stay experience like no other place. Conveniently but discretely nestled in the heart of Byron Bay, this 5-villa complex is a sanctuary for the soul. The Villas of Byron suit singles, couples or groups for a romantic couple getaway, family surf holiday or a blissful honeymoon, in proximity to stunning beaches and great waves.
Where to stay
Fitting the right accommodation to suit your Australian travel requirements is our specialty.
If you are seeking a fully guided surfing adventure exploring remote beaches in search of good times and fun waves complete with surf lessons than Mojo surf tours that travel up and down the NSW coastline could be ideal for you.
Alternately you may prefer the sound of Smiths Beach Resort, or Injidup Spa Retreat. Both are located in the famous Margaret River wine region, which is of course world famous for its spectacular coastline and the world class waves that have long been a drawcard for visitors. With over 75 major surfing breaks within an hour's drive, anyone from the novice to the experienced surfer can enjoy the ultimate surfing experience in Western Australia.
Go exploring
For anyone hoping to learn to surf while in Australia we can book you a lesson on world famous Manly Beach at Manly Surf School. Alternatively if you are planning activities outside of surfing in Australia, we can recommend surf camps and surf shops, and book activities beyond the great Australian beaches. Ask about shopping, the arts, music gigs or honeymoon options. Whatever your preference we can match you with activities, locations and accommodation to suit your needs.
The general rule on Australia's surfable stretches is that autumn and winter (March to August) are the best seasons for surf. Winds blow pre-dominantly off the land (offshore) and intense low-pressure systems frequently zip across the bottom of the continent in the Southern Ocean, before migrating east into the Tasman Sea sending lines of thick, powerful swell onto the exposed stretches of the Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, New south Wales and Queensland coastlines. The beauty of winter swell window you could still luck into quality waves pretty much any month of the year.
West Coast
The biggest and most spectacular surfing of Australia hits the coast in winter and spring, however summer and autumn also offers consistent swells. It is very rare to find the ocean flat for more than a few days, even in summer. There is a wide variety of breaks, way too many to mention. Below is a list of the better ones in WA and some of the main ones in the Margaret River region.
- Ningaloo Reef - There are countless awesome breaks on offer at Ningaloo Reef, which once held the Billabong Super Challenge events in the mid-90s. The area offers some of the most spectacular scenery and secluded surf spots in WA.
- Esperance - Esperance is one of the best-kept surfing secret, with hundreds of islands and reefs breaking on the horizon. Particularly the break Cyclops is one of the most talked about but least surfed waves in the world.
- Lancelin & Yanchep - Around an hour north of Perth, you'll find an array of waves with perfect surf conditions for all levels. Eddie Island and Backbeach in Lancelin are favourites for intermediate surfers, while the isolated Alkimos beach in Yanchep suits the pros.
- Geraldton - Geraldton's uncrowded waters has breaks to suit everyone, from beginners to pros. Mahomet's Back Beach offers consistently good surf in summer while Sunset Beach is best in winter.
- Rottnest Island - 16kms off the coast of Perth, Rottnest Island offers several extraordinary reef breaks, the most renowned is Strickland Bay.
- Kalbarri - Jake's Point in Kalbarri is a beautiful area that delivers some of Australia's most powerful lefts.
- Rockingham & Mandurah – in between these sprawling coastal towns is a stretch of coastline where you'll find consistent rolling surf. Check out Singleton, Golden Bay and Secret Harbour.
- Perth Beaches - For Perth's most popular surf areas, go to Scarborough, Trigg & Watermans on the north of the city, or City Beach, Floreat & Cottesloe.
Margaret River Breaks :
- Boranup - With the best surf in the area generally being found south of Margaret River, Boranup is well worth the drive. Here you'll find pristine, isolated beaches and clean surf.
- Redgate - The surf here is usually quite good on a small swell and holds shape well up to a 3 metre swell. The area is out of the main thoroughfare which means less crowding.
- Surfers Point – Surfers Point is internationally renowned as the best break in the area and home to the Margaret River Pro. There is nearly always a wave here and when it gets over 12ft the left lines up right into the bay. South side is another sizable and heavy wave that can require lots of paddling. If you can handle even bigger check out the break a couple of hundred metres to the south. There is also a few outer reef breaks south of the boat ramp.
- Margaret River Mouth - This is quite a bit smaller with rights and lefts breaking on a sandy bottom so it's a great spot for beginners.
- Injidup Car Park - Injidup is renowned for its right hand break and has a couple of peaks that handle size and even a slight onshore. If you find it crowded here, go north to Pea Break and Mitchells, where there are long lefts with a couple of take off points making it better when there are large numbers of surfers.
- Yallingup – Another infamous area, Yallingup is has a big left hander and a more shapely right hander that will handle up to 20ft. When it's really cranking the left will clean up everything in its path.
- Three Bears - One of the premier surf spots due to a series of rights and lefts that always seem to have a wave. This break handles anything from 2 to 10ft.
East Coast
- Sunshine Coast - this area has some consistent beach breaks and the Noosa Heads area has some perfect point breaks, but can get crowded.
- Stradbroke Island - Straddie's beaches are also worth checking out.
- Gold Coast - The Goldie is a legendary swell magnet and home to many surf competitions :
- Burleigh Heads – Burleigh is a world class right hand point break, but gets very crowded. The wave is long and tubular especially after the drop
- Kirra – This break is another world class right hand point break and really hollow with the possibility of multiple barrels. Possibly one of the most popular and well known point breaks in Australia. With a southern swell and winds, Kirra Point provides big, fast, hollow tubes. Quick take offs are required.
- Currumbin - Currumbin is a classic right hand point break that holds size well and reels off long rides with tube sections.
- Snapper Rocks - This is a classic point break where the waves are formed by southern ocean swells converging towards the rocky point. Snapper Point is surrounded by deep water, so the wave formations tend to be full. This break is a favourite for long boarders.
- Duranbah - Known as D-Bar, this is a great fast breaking beach break that picks up heaps of swell particularly works well on a south east swell and breaks both ways. With bigger swells this wave gets faster and hollower.
- Byron Bay - Around Byron Bay there are a number of great beach and point breaks. Byron Bay is Australia's most easterly point, so is more open to some of the winter swells that are generated in the Tasman. Lennox Head is a popular classic right hand point break, quite a long ride.
- Lennox Head - Endlessly photographed & filmed, the right hand point break at Lennox Head is one of Australia's most famous waves, consistently ranked in the top 10 waves of Australia's 10,685 beaches. The Lennox Head point break is powerful and not for beginners. Lennox Head was declared a National Surfing Reserve in February 2007, the third site in Australia to be recognised for its significance to recreational surfing and the largest in Australia, it runs 7kms from the Surf Club to Flat Rock. The "Magic Miles" between Lennox Head and Ballina offers a mixture of beach breaks and reefs that work on a variety of wind and swell directions.
- Coffs Harbour - Coffs is made up of 6 different beaches offering lots of beach breaks & sandy bottom point breaks that can handle big swells. There are great options for beginners.
- Angourie - The swell needs only be one or two metres for the point to start breaking, at which stage it's rideable for surfers of most abilities, but anything bigger should only be tackled by confident surfers. Angourie Beach was declared a National Surfing Reserve in 2007, the second site in Australia to be recognised for its significance to recreational surfing and, as such, is considered sacred by Australian surfers.
- Mid North Coast – This area's most popular surf areas are Cresent Head and Port Macquarie.
- Central Coast - Here, winter ground swells from the Tasman Sea can start affecting the breaks. Surfing is generally good all year in the Newcastle area.
- Sydney - Sydney is blessed with scores of surfable points and reefs, some of the more popular being Narrabeen, Dee Why, Curl Curl, Queenscliff, Manly, Cronulla, Maroubra & Bondi.
- North Narrabeen – North Narra is a left hand point break with barreling sections and is renowned as one of the best surf breaks of the world. The lake emptying into the sea here creates a deep channel which is instrumental in forming the sand bank that creates this classic break. The deep water off shore allows these swells to break with more power than at most beaches in the area.
- Long Reef - There are offshore reefs in the north (the Long Reef Bombora's) and beach breaks running the entire 1.6km south to Dee Why. The Long Reef Bombora's starts to break at one metre or so and in a big south swell can produce a beautiful wave up to five metres. Reliable sandbanks shape beach breaks that are great for beginners and intermediate surfers, especially in summer with the northern headland blocking the sea breeze.
- Dee Why Point – The Point is a hollow right hand point break with a somewhat critical take off.
- Curl Curl – Curlie has a large area of consistent beach breaks with a variety of waves. North Curlie is sheltered from N/NE winds and there is an occasional left of the point. On bigger swells there is a decent outside wave in the middle and a heavy hollow right at the southern end.
- Freshwater Beach - This is known as the birthplace of Australian surfing. In 1915 Hawaiian surfer, Duke Kahanamoku, surfed at Freshwater on a locally made surfboard based on traditional Hawaiian design.
- Manly - Manly Beach is made up of South Steyne, North Steyne and Queenscliff beaches. Manly works best in north east swells and is one of two beaches only on the north side to be able to handle cyclonic swells. Manly closes out a lot in the winter southerly swells, but the summer winds break up the banks and that can provide some good quality waves. North Steyne in the middle of the beach is a lot more open to all swells and winds and the banks there are generally better than South Steyne. The break between North Steyne and Manly was the venue for the first ever world surfing championship in 1964, won by local surfer Midget Farrelly. Queenscliff at the northern end works better in south swells and can be offshore in the north east winds if you can get close enough to the point. Doesn't hold the bigger swells as the outer banks are affected by the Queenscliff Bombora. Queensie Bomby breaks about 800m off the shore in large south swells. It's an angry reef break that needs a swell size over 3m to break. Fairy Bower is a reef break South of Manly Beach off North head, the outer reef sometimes links up with the bower which is then named racecourse due to the speed you need to get through 'surge rock'. The outer reef breaks heavily on a ledge and barrels for up to 4 seconds on a good ride. Bower can get crowded in good surf and finishes with the shoulder dropping off into deep water.
- Bondi is a very busy beach break but often closes out. Not a destination for die hard surfers, though there is something to be said for telling everyone back home you went surfing on Bondi Beach! South Bondi is the better end of the beach for surfers, where south swells load up across a rocky reef and unfurl as powerful right handers. Sandbanks around the middle of the beach shape two or three separate left and right hand breaks.
- Maroubra - The reef at the south end creates Maroubra's premium wave, which on a south swell and with a southwest breeze breaks as a classic barreling right hander. The beach itself has some great long waves and it's generally an easy paddle out.
- Cronulla has both beach & outside reef breaks. From monster barrels at Shark Island, Cape Solander and Voodoo; to mellow beach breaks at South Cronulla and Boat Harbour to the north, Cronulla has something for everyone. Cronulla Beach was declared a National Surfing Reserve in 2008, the fifth site in Australia to be recognised for its significance to recreational surfing
- South Coast - Sandon Point, Windang Island and The Boneyard at Kiama will all handle waves well over 12ft. Further south and the coast gives way to isolated towns and a largely undeveloped coastline. There are still "secret spots" on the south coast. Waves such as Black Rock and Merimbula Bar rival any in the world for quality.
South Coast
Although Tasmania blocks some swell, Victoria is still very consistent.
- Around Torquay and Anglesea - Torquay is considered by Victorians to be the surf capital of Australia. Torquay itself is ideal for beginners while good intermediate reefs and beach breaks can be found at Point Impossible, Point Danger and Jan Juc. From Bird Rock, at the west end of Jan Juc, to Bell's Beach is a rocky shoreline with a series of reef breaks below the cliffs more suitable for advanced surfers. Anglesea and nearby Fairhaven have good beginner and body surfing beach breaks, while the long stretch of coast between Airey's Inlet and Lorne is a favourite..
- Bells Beach – The most famous break in the South Coast is Bells Beach, an icon of Australian surfing, where the Rip Curl Pro is held every Easter as part of the ASP WCT. World renowned Bells Beach has two main breaks, the Bowl and Rincon, both right handers and are best during autumn and winter. Excellent right hand breaks can also be found at nearby Winki Pop and Centreside with Southside providing one of the few lefts in the area.
- Lorne to Apollo Bay - Lorne has beach breaks for beginners and bigger right handers running into the rocky shores of Lorne Point and, on its western side, at Vera Lynn and off St George's River. Along the coast, between Lorne and Apollo Bay, there are good surf spots at Cumberland River, Wye River, Baldy Rock, Skene's Creek, Sawmills and Kennett River. The main surf breaks around Apollo Bay are Marengo, Boneyards and Juniors, all just past the town. 35kms west of Apollo Bay is Johanna Beach, one of the top surfing beaches in Victoria.
- Phillip Island further west has great beach breaks and some point breaks.
- Bellarine Peninsula - Surfing is a popular activity along the southern coast of the Bellarine Peninsula where Bass Strait provides plenty of wave action. Some of the best places to catch a wave are at Point Lonsdale, Ocean Grove and Thirteenth Beach near Barwon Heads.

Hi, I'm a finance grad student and I'm not young (>30 yrs old). I've never learnt any programming before, but during the coursework I did I had to use some statistical software. I then found out that I was attracted so much to programming and so I bought a couple of C books to learn from them (K&R2, Beginning C, etc.). I visited quite many forums including this and I've read threads about programming and programmers. One thing I notice is that so many programmers who are helping newbies and intermediate-level programmers and others are very young and have learnt programming since they were like 12 years old or so.
So my question is, am I too late to learn programming so that I can in fact use programming skills effectively in my future jobs? I'd like to learn C++ as it's applied extensively to finance/business. I like programming a lot the instant I read an extremely simple code from a statistical software I used. I spent time everyday reading books and typing in examples and doing exercises. I just would like to become not a programmer (b/c it's too unrealistic for a person at this age like me), but a person who has a basic knowledge/working knowledge of C and C++.
Is that too late? Are there people with similar experience who can later on become a true programmer?
Thanks a lot for your time and patience.

uptownriders.net is a website exclusive to The Lost and Damned DLC pack for Grand Theft Auto IV.
The Uptown Riders website is designed to promote the Uptown Riders street gang, to which Malc and DeSean belong to. Uptownriders.com follows the same format as the other two websites in The Lost and Damned that are centred around the gangs in the game (angelsofdeathonline.com and Lostmc.com). It has a shop, with similar items in it to the other gangs shops and it has an overview of the gang which has a positive spin on it.
It also has a list of some of the street bikes that can be found in the game. Although some of them aren't able to be found exactly as they appear.

One of the great things about the Jets this year—the only great thing, perhaps—is that by dealing for Tim Tebow, emphasizing the extent to which they'd use him (they said it would 25% of snaps), and not using him nearly that much (it was 10.1% before week ten and inched slightly higher after), they've put the lie to the relentless Tebow hype-machine that is ESPN. The line in Bristol—"You can't talk enough about Tebow"—was never logical, but it at least made a modicum of sense when Tebow was, against all odds, playing in and winning games for the Broncos.
Now? Now it's just completely irrational. Every time the Jets play, it makes less sense to talk about Tim Tebow. Controversy aside, keeping Tebow more or less glued to the bench is starving the raging ESPN-Tebow fire of oxygen, and perhaps bringing it closer to being extinguished.
Are the Jets managing their QBs this way because they hate ESPN? (They'd be well within their rights—ESPN has singlehandedly made the Jets' most prominent public faces also the most "overrated," in the eyes of other NFL players.) No, probably not: The answer is actually a lot simpler, if a little baroque in its specifics. It's cheaper not to play Tebow, and right now, the Jets are making a lot of decisions based on cost.
A post titled, "Is 2013's Salary Cap Driving the Jets 2012 Decisions?" on NY Jets Cap builds the case that the Jets are holding down the number of Tebow's snaps purely so that incentives in his contract don't kick in, and that they've done the same with other players. The post admits towards the end, "Maybe it's an Oliver Stone conspiracy on my part," but it sounds good to us. Sic'd, but it's the numbers that matter:
Tebow is one of the last remaining players that should be playing under the old CBA rookie contract structure. Under the old CBA 1st round draft picks often had low base value deals to comply with CBA rules with easily attainable escalators based on playing time. For instance Dustin Keller this year saw his salary increase to $3.052 million as he entered the final year of his deal. As a QB drafted in the 1st round those incentives are increased dramatically. Tebow's rookie contract had a base value of $9.7125 million with an easily achievable value of $11.125 million based on reaching the standard playing time escalators of either 35% as a rookie or 45% any year thereafter. He unlocked that in 2011 when he played in about 76% of the Broncos offensive snaps. As a first round QB he had the potential to turn the contract into a $33 million dollar deal through incentives that would only be realized if he turned out to be the next John Elway. The more realistic number was that the contract would be worth $22.5 million if he developed into a starting QB.
The additional $11.25 million, if earned, would be added onto the backend of Tebow's 5 year contract in 2013 and 2014. He had two avenues to earn the escalators. If he played in 55% of the snaps in two of his first three seasons (2010-2012) he would earn an additional $5 million in 2013 and $6.25 million in 2014. If he plays in 70% of the snaps in 2013 he earns the full payment in 2014.
Tebow's current cap number in 2013 is $2,586,875 which includes a guaranteed payment of $1,531,875 that goes to the Denver Broncos as part of the terms of the trade. If Tebow was to earn that escalator his cap charge would balloon to $7,586,875. That is a number the Jets cant handle next season, considering they owe Sanchez $8.25 million guaranteed next year and a cap charge of over $12.8 million.
The whole thing comes together pretty elegantly, such that you may end up believing that Jets management—including billionaire owner Woody Johnson—is playing a role in keeping Tebow's play count low mostly in order to ease a messy cap situation (that they created partly by signing him). Which would be kind of perfectly Jets: trade for one of the league's biggest stars, realize you can't afford to play him, play him sparingly as opposed to trading him, create a titanic media shitstorm, and make everything awkward and confusing.
Of course, it could also be because he's not very good. J-E-T-S!

Matt Duchene, Avs forward, falls to T.J. Oshie in NHL 15 cover vote
Sorry, Avs fans — Matty Ice isn't gracing the cover of NHL 15.
Colorado center Matt Duchene lost to St. Louis forward T.J. Oshie in the quarterfinals of EA Sports' NHL 15 cover vote, the company announced Monday.
Oshie will match up against Boston's Patrice Bergeron in the semifinals. Montreal's P.K. Subban will face off against Los Angeles' Drew Doughty on the other side of the bracket.
Admittedly, Oshie had a better campaign for the cover than Duchene did.

Southern 401 was built in December of 1907 and was at the time a larger locomotive, built with simplicity in mind. It is a 2-8-0 wheel arrangement, with a total locomotive weight of 82 tons, spread over 4 pairs of driving wheels, and a two wheel leading "truck". This locomotive was purchased by the museum in 1967 from Alabama Asphaltic Limestone, in Margerum, Alabama. It was then shipped on a flat car to Decatur, IL, arriving there in January of 1968. It was unloaded and stored at Decatur until October of 1971, when it and 12 other pieces of equipment were moved by rail to the Museum site in Monticello. It was towed on its own wheels from Decatur to Monticello in 1971. From 1971 to 1995, the locomotive was on display in our collection of equipment, with occasional work being done to stabilize and prevent further deterioration to the locomotive.
In 1995, a donor stepped forward with a proposal to return an operating steam locomotive to Monticello Railway Museum, one not having run here since 1987. To that end, a process was begun to identify what we felt was the best candidate for restoration. After considering several alternatives, it was decided to restore #401 to operational status.
So what do you go through to restore a steam locomotive? Click Next above to start the show. Already seen this show? Jump to the most recent slides
Here's what you start with.
401 at Decatur in 1968
First step was to start the disassembly.
401 in the back shop with its drivers removed.
More parts removed and the boiler is ready to come off the frame.
We found many parts with quite a bit of wear.
The lead truck has yet to come out.
That's Milwaukee Road 1649 in the background.
The drivers were sent to Birmingham, AL where they shared the shop with some large brethren in remaining days of the NS steam program.
The restoration started with the rear cab support.
Nothing like the smell of a new boiler.
401's boiler at the factory in St. Louis, ready for delivery.
A little frame straightening was needed. Here the burners are setup to heat the frame so it can be bent back into alignment.
It fits! The new boiler is the on the frame.
Boiler supports start to appear as well as cab supports and two sets of drivers are back under the locomotive.
Cab supports start to appear.
The remaining driver sets are installed.
All the wheels are back under and the running boards start to appear.
Handrails start to appear.
Work on the cab begins.
Work continues with walkways and cab supports.
The turret is added.
Injector piping starts to be fitted.
Injectors are mounted.
The cab ready to set on the frame.
Meanwhile, in front of the shop, attention turns to the tender.
It hasn't held water for a long, long time.
Like the engine, the tender is stripped to the frame.
That's 401's old boiler in the background.
The tender frame, or what's left of it.
Tender frame repairs begin. We'll replace the trucks and a major portion of the center sill.
The frame was set upside down of the ground in order to provide better working conditions on the underside. Here the steam connection is fitted.
More fitting goes on and the new roller bearing trucks appear.
New draft gear supplied by Miner Enterprises is installed and we're ready to set it back upright on its trucks.
The completed frame ready to be set upright.
The Bates and Rogers steam crane getting ready to go to work.
Back upright and painted a few days later.
A quick trip over to the car shop gets the wood decking installed on the frame.
The tender is placed behind 401 and assembly begins.
401's cab has been installed.
Tender tank assembly begins.
More tender tank assembly.
The tender tank begins to take shape.
It's not just a big empty space. Baffles and supports makeup the inside of the tender tank.
Work is moving on all fronts at the current time. 401's cab is being outfitted and remaining items on the tender continue. Continue to the latest slides.
The Monticello Railway Museum depends upon many sources of income to acquire, restore, maintain and operate the museum and we welcome donations. Donors help fund and facilitate many projects at the museum and provide income above and beyond train tickets, gift shop sales and membership dues.
While our volunteers perform the majority of the required labor for restorations at the museum, the need for money to purchase materials and equipment is increasing. Now that work on steam locomotive #401 is complete, the amount of consumable shop materials used is increasing. For example: acetylene and oxygen for the cutting torch; drill bits and cutting tools for the machine shop; grinding wheels and wire wheels for metal preparation and LP gas for heat to allow our volunteers to work during the winter are costing several-hundred dollars each month.
A gift donation towards restoration work would be greatly appreciated. In addition, thoughtful family members, in your name, can make a donation to the museum.
Either way, your donation is appreciated and contributes to our overall financial security and will help us collectively facilitate much needed improvements at the museum. As a reminder, the Monticello Railway Museum is a registered 501 (C 3) not for profit organization and all donations to the museum are tax deductible. All donors to the museum will receive a letter acknowledging the donation.

Gifts in Honor of the 125th Anniversary of the Philadelphia Museum of Art
Organized by Alice Beamesderfer2002
216 pp.; 207 color and 33 black-and-white illustrations
Hardcover ISBN: 0-87633-159-2
Softcover ISBN: 0-87633-160-6 Published on the 125th anniversary of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, this book records the fabulous works of art acquired in honor of this momentous occasion. Some two hundred color reproductions beautifully document the range and quality of these gifts—from an ancient Japanese earthenware jar to spectacular works by Jasper Johns and Gerhard Richter. Brief essays by the Museum's curators discuss each of the new acquisitions and place them in the context of the Museum's collections. An introductory essay on gift-giving makes clear the vital relationship between museums and donors and the way that gifts of art influence the life of an institution and the experience of its visitors. An easy-to-use checklist at the back of the book provides additional black-and-white reproductions and a guide to the body of the book.

While all the recent talk around MLB centers on Mark McGwire and steroids, it's easy to forget that Spring Training is creeping up.
Cactus League play begins on March 3 and Grapefruit League starts a day before that.
This is a good time to look at the future baseball odds to win World Series that sportsbook currently have posted.
New York Yankees
When we last left MLB, the New York Yankees were hoisting their 27th World Series title.
The "Evil Empire" will enter the 2010 season as defending champions and as a matter of fact, the Yanks are odds-on favorites to repeat at +300.
The Bronx Bombers' roster will look a little different going into the season as 2009 World Series MVP Hideki Matsui migrated west to the Los Angeles Angels and his place in the lineup, as it stands, will be taken by Nick Johnson, according to an mlb.com report.
The Pinstripes re-signed southpaw Andy Pettitte to a one-year deal and dealt outfielder Melky Cabrera and pitchers Michael Dunn and Arodys Vizcaino along with some cash to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for righty Javier Vazquez and lefty Boone Logan, who was subsequently signed for one year.
In Vazquez's last 16 starts last season, the Braves went 12-4.
Philadelphia Phillies
On first glance, the fact that the Phillies traded away pitcher Cliff Lee to Seattle doesn't make sense, as Lee went 13-4 (including the playoffs) after joining the Phillies from Cleveland in late-July.
In the postseason Lee went 4-0 with an ERA of 1.56 and he was on the mound for both of
Philadelphia's World Series victories.
But when you factor in that Philadelphia added Roy Halladay to its rotation, there is logic behind the Lee deal.
Doc Halladay started 32 games for the Toronto Blue Jays last year and had a record of 17-10 with an ERA of 2.79 and will be a welcome addition to the Phillies' pitching staff.
Philly is listed at +600 to win this year's World Series and if it does, it would be its second title in three years.
New York Mets
The New York Mets fell well short of expectations last season, finishing with a record of 70-92 so there was a need to bolster the roster with the 2010 season approaching.
While the Yankees are the ones that usually make the big splashes in free agency, the Mets one-upped their cross-town rivals this offseason, in terms of big-name signings, when they inked former Boston Red Sox leftfielder Jason Bay to a four-year deal.
The Mets are hoping that Bay will be a big piece of the puzzle in their pursuit of the NL East title and hopefully, a World Series.
The Metropolitans are listed at +1900 to win it all in 2010.
Seattle Mariners
Despite not making the playoffs last year, the Seattle Mariners still had a relatively successful season, going 85-77.
If its offseason is any indication of how its regular season will be, Seattle should make the playoffs or better.
As mentioned, the club traded for Philly's playoff ace Cliff Lee and it did a number of other things to improve.
The Mariners plucked 3B Chone Figgins away from the division rival Los Angeles Angels; re-signed Ken Griffey Jr. to a one-year deal and extended young ace Felix Hernandez's deal by five years.
The only move that can be considered something of a head-scratcher is the trade for volatile Chicago Cubs outfielder Milton Bradley.
Seattle is listed at +1600 to win the World Series in MLB futures betting.
Spring Training will be starting up again soon and shortly after that, the start of another MLB season.

eastcoast cowboy necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 119 diseños de 34 diseñadores freelance.
Looking for a logo that will 1) create a positive first impression with "potential" clients 2) Be memorable, 3) Provide a hint of what kind of business we're in. Nationwide audience.
Buell Recreation
Our company supplies a variety of park & playground products (play structures, slides, swings, benches, tables, shelters) to elementary schools, daycares and city parks throughout the U.S. Our logo should have appeal to the following individuals: PTA Mom's, Principals, Teachers, Facility & Grounds Managers, Park Managers, Park & Recreation Directors, City Managers & Mayors. Our branding/image is focused on successfully communicating these 4 strengths that make our company unique: 1) Resourceful 2) Experienced 3) Passionate 4) Quality.
Possible tagline: Park & Playground Products. Consider using a "double slide" to represent the two LL's or a swing frame to frame business name. Our hope is to convey "fun" and "adventure" just like playgrounds; perhaps even bring a smile! Yet on the other hand we still want it to be "professional" and represent our high degree of integrity, quality products, customer service and trust. Can be one or two colors, but must present well in black & white or grey scale. May be some advantage to using green as many of our clients are sensitive to environment friendly products and love the outdoors.
We don't want the text to look childlike or with reversed letters. No more than two colors please.

Silent Bio
It was funny to see Mr Martini report the "silent bio" room, as if it were some sneaky thing someone did. Check it out and see if you like it. I sort of miss the friendly banter, but not that much. That nice warm dish is frequently served with some cold sticky old mess. I don't miss the omnipresent lobbying, nagging, theorizing, etc. I feel free of the need to dish out rebukes and taunts to novices. What a relief!
Re: Silent Bio
I hypothesize that there will be an initial popular preference for non-silent rooms (say 3 to 1), but that anger and frustration will steadily drive customers to peace and quiet. Constraints on that dynamic might include difficulty moderating and trouble avoiding disorientation as players can't abide not being able to use diplomacy and rhetoric. There could be interesting divergence among surprising subgroups and characters. What of the habitual whiner (in shopi's terms)? What of the red herring? What of the impertinent rhetorical question or other trolling discourse? So exciting!
