There is a persistent succession of higher highs which favors a bullish EUR/JPY. Key resistance stands at 136.70 (11/02/2015). Support is located at 134.74 (rising uptrend line) then 134.31 (13/05/2015 low).
In the longer term, the break of the support at 130.15 validates a medium-term succession of lower highs and lower lows. As a result, the resistance at 149.78 (08/12/2014 high) has likely marked the end of the rise that started in July 2012. Key supports stand at 124.97 (13/06/2013 low) and 118.73 (25/02/2013 low). A key resistance can be found at 136.70 (11/02/2015 high).

Kalia is trashing Keith and called him an Uncle Tom Bitch.
(i.e. the black people)
Lawon: You know he's trashing you up there to them--you know that right?
Kalia: Oh I know that.
Now Lawon pulls Adam aside for a chat and tells him that he has to vote for Porsche to leave. He made a promise to Keith on the first day and that is why.
Lawon: My mental game is off the hook.
Adam points out that Keith asks for his vote every day, even though Adam already promised him. That makes Adam think that Keith's word isn't any good, since he can't rely on other's promises. Adam is going to wait to decide who to vote for after the Veto ceremony is over.
Lawon's gut is telling him to keep Porsche in the game. He knows that personally Keith is throwing him under the bus every chance he gets. (He is, Lawon.)

MANILA, Philippines – The Quezon City government has employed 300 contact tracers to contain the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19.
"Aggressive contact tracing is key to testing the right population. We have to keep pace with new infections by forming groups of contact tracers to be able to immediately identify those who had close contact with COVID-19 patients," Mayor Joy Belmonte said yesterday.
Rolando Cruz, chief of the city's Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit, said the contact tracers underwent intensive training on tracing protocols, proper use and disposal of personal protective equipment, effective communication and interviews.
"We have formed 30 teams of contact tracers. Our goal is to inform and educate those who have been exposed to the virus about quarantine protocols to reduce virus transmission," Cruz said.
He said the pool of tracers are composed of registered nurses, medical technologists, Philippine National Police contingents and at least two persons enlisted by each barangay.
The local government has reinforced its COVID-19 Response Center by adding 25 phone profilers and 30 encoders to attend to questions and concerns about the disease.

"Cash is king" is a well-used maxim for a reason: the implementation of sound cash management practices is essential to ensure the profitability and sustainability of any successful business. When cash is managed efficiently, the company stays healthy, flexible, and solvent. When it isn't, the opposite holds true.
Cash management is especially important in today's economic environment, where volatility and uncertainty are the only constants. To better understand the business priorities of Canadian companies and the place cash management and payments hold within those priorities, the Canadian Financial Executives Research Foundation has produced the research report entitled How finance is keeping cash flowing and business growing.
Canada's C-suite and senior managers appear to have a good understanding of the importance of cash flow management. The majority (82%) have a strong handle on how it is generated and spent. They consider cash management in their day-to-day decision making and when setting and executing strategy, deciding to make an acquisition, and considering the risks and vulnerabilities of the organization.
This appreciation likely comes from the fact that responsibility for cash flow health is almost equally divided between senior management (48%) and finance (52%) among representatives of organizations polled. This shifts when size is taken into account. The smaller the company in terms of revenue, the more likely senior management, and not finance, was in charge of cash flow. However, their larger counterparts are more likely to fully consider cash flow in their strategy and decision making, suggesting a level of sophistication not yet attained in smaller companies.
Growth is the top priority of respondents in the next 12 months. The majority plan to achieve growth organically (81% ranked it as a top priority), while 34% are looking to make an acquisition. To that end, 17% are focused on gaining access to financing. Not surprising, 76% of respondents identified becoming more efficient as one of their top three priorities for the next 12 months.
When asked to name the key challenges their organizations have faced in the last 12 months, the majority of respondents pointed to financial troubles on the part of existing customers leading to delayed payments or requests for extended credit.
Top operational cash business priorities in the next 12 months are improving cash flow (54%); improving cash forecasting (52%) and managing working capital (48%). Meeting annual cash flow targets (44%) is the top driver pushing respondents to improve cash flow and working capital.
Of those surveyed, 82% pay some of their suppliers in US dollars. Of that group, 76% report they have no issues doing so. However, almost one third of respondents cite financial/foreign exchange risk management as a top operational cash business priority in the next 12 months.
The top way companies plan to improve cash flow is by moving to a virtual payment system (44%), second to stretching payables (53%). Almost 8% are taking no measure to manage or improve cash flow.
Business leaders appreciate the importance of effective cash management and have prioritized it. They understand that cash flow management is a complex process that, done right, will help organizations navigate volatility and provide confidence to investors. It is also evident that there is room for improvement, particularly for smaller organizations that do not enjoy the same level of sophistication as larger companies.
Still, complacency is not an option when it comes to cash flow, regardless of size. Says one respondent: "When it comes to managing cash flow, you can never afford to sit back."
The Canadian Financial Executives Research Foundation (CFERF) is the research institute of FEI Canada (Financial Executives International Canada). CFERF's mandate is to study emerging financial management issues with the aim of increasing competitive capabilities of Canadian financial leaders and their organizations.

It was a verdict that shocked and rocked the nation. After what felt like a circus of a trial, Casey Anthony was acquitted of the murder charges filed against her in connection with the death of her two-year-old daughter, Caylee.
Hundreds of people protested, legal pundits and talk show hosts expressed their opinions as to why a Florida court freed her from the Orange County jail but, regardless of what anyone said or did, Casey Anthony was (and is) for all intents and purposes, an innocent woman.
We all got used to seeing the pictures of Casey drinking and partying, even during the time when her daughter was missing. We all heard the stories about why she waited so long to report that anything was amiss. We even heard about the fact that Casey was so unsure of who Caylee's father was that she had her own brother, Lee, tested.
So five years later, what is life like for her now?
Casey recently turned 30 and, apparently, does very little with her days in South Florida. She claims she can't find a job and she hasn't done much with the photography business she started. Basically, she survives off of the financial support she receives from some members of her legal team.
In stark contrast to her younger, wilder days, sources claim that "she gets up each day, hangs around, checks the internet, takes some pictures, and doesn't do much. She can't hold a real job, and she doesn't really make a lot of friends, for obvious reasons. When people find out about her history, they usually bail on her. She's 30, with very few friends her age… She's got enough money to live, but not enough to really do anything. She sort of lives like an old person, on a fixed income without much going on in her life. She's bored, and she complains about boredom all the time."
Speaking of older people, Casey's parents have suffered through this ordeal also and are struggling financially. They did make about $600,000 for an appearance on Dr. Phil back in 2011 but, somehow, that money is already gone. They, along with their son Lee, have little to nothing to do with Casey so it's safe to say that, for now, this family is horribly damaged.
No Activism or Advocacy?
There are many people who are falsely accused of committing crimes who are vindicated and go on to do great things with their lives. One option would be for Casey to become an activist, championing for the rights and safety of small children. It's a shame to let Caylee's death be in vain and, if truly innocent, one would hope that Casey would want to help other parents avoid making the same mistakes she made.
There is, of course, also the fact that Caylee's murder is unsolved. Doesn't Casey want answers or justice for her little girl? It's no one's place to judge, of course, we all deal with things in our own way but, if she's bored, there are things that can be done to occupy her time…

Kendra and Hank have not finalized their divorce. A source recently revealed, "Kendra and Hank's divorce is not final yet. It has been a back and forth process and they have been sorting out the custody limitations and agreements, which is prolonging the situation."

Auditions for UI Theatre productions are open to everyone. For academic considerations, priority is given to theater majors first, and then all other students of the UI, but members of the community are also strongly encouraged to audition. Numerous nonmajors and actors from the community are cast each season. "Nontraditional" casting is the norm for all directors in all productions, except those in which race, gender, disability, or age is the explicit issue. Casting is "nontraditional" when all roles in a script are open to casting without bias in terms of race, gender, disability or age, so long as the actor can fulfill the artistic requirements of the role.

New Overtime Rule BLOCKED by Texas Court
With a 20-page ruling yesterday, a federal court in Texas has issued a nationwide preliminary injunction blocking the implementation of the Department of Labor's new overtime rules, which were set to go into effect on December 1, 2016.
Those new rules would have increased the salary threshold for the "white collar" exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act from just over $24,000.00 per year to nearly $48,000.00 per year, but because of this preliminary injunction, those rules will not go into effect — at least for now.
The court noted that under the FLSA, whether these exemptions apply requires consideration of not only the amount the employee's pay, but also the employee's duties. The court reasoned that by nearly doubling the salary test, the DOL overstepped its authority and essentially supplanted the duties test with the salary test. That, the court noted, is the responsibility of Congress, not the DOL.
What this means for employers is that for now, they may continue to use the existing salary threshold ($455.00 per week; $23,660.00 per year) when evaluating whether these exemptions apply to their employees. This does not, however, change the fact that in order to qualify for these exemptions, employees must still meet one of the "duties" tests set forth in the FLSA.
Also, it is important to note that the judge only issued a preliminary injunction, and it is subject to appeal. Therefore, it is possible that this decision could be overturned, but for the time being employers may continue to apply the current salary threshold.

Jack Link's Missing Link: Company Pays $50K to Settle Claim of Ongoing Sexual Harassment
A recently settled Minnesota Department of Human Rights charge against Jack Link's Beef Jerky emphasizes the importance of follow-through when responding to sexual harassment allegations. According to the Department, Jack Link's initially took the "right step" in disciplining the alleged harasser but then failed to monitor the situation, which included ongoing harassment.
Specifically, MDHR reports that shortly after being hired by Jack Link's, a female employee's supervisor made sexual advances toward her, called her "baby," said she was beautiful, asked if she was single, chanted "pack baby pack," and asked if he was too old for her. The Department also reports that although Jack Link's initially disciplined the supervisor, the company then promoted him to be woman's direct supervisor, after which he continued to harass the employee. Claiming she could no longer tolerate the work environment, the woman quit.
Thus, based on the MDHR's findings, the missing link in Jack Link's response was the lack of follow-through and monitoring. As noted by MDHR Commissioner Kevin Lindsey:
This is an unusual case in that the employer took the right step in originally disciplining the supervisor. The employer however undermined its efforts by not subsequently monitoring the actions of the alleged harasser. Employers need to maintain contact with the employee who has complained of sexual harassment to make sure that the measures that they have undertaken are actually working.
To settle the charge, Jack Link's agreed to pay the victim $50,000.00 and to provide training on the Minnesota Human Rights Act and how to properly respond to sexual harassment allegations.
Generally speaking, employers must first take steps to prevent unlawful workplace harassment. But if, despite those efforts, an employee claims that harassment has occurred, employers must take prompt action to correct and stop that behavior. As the Jack Link's case points out, this includes careful monitoring and follow-through to make sure the harassment does not continue or recur.

Target Settlement Sheds Light on Disparate Impact Discrimination
By now, you've probably read or heard about Target Corporation's agreement to pay $2.8 million to settle an EEOC discrimination charge. Unlike a "disparate treatment" case where the plaintiffs claim that an employer's actions were motivated by discriminatory intent, this was a "disparate impact" case where the EEOC alleged that screening tests used by Target disproportionately excluded applicants on the basis of race and gender and violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. So, what's the difference between "disparate impact" and "disparate treatment" discrimination?
Disparate impact discrimination cases typically arise out of pre-employment tests, medical exams, background check policies and similar assessments that are used to screen candidates for a job or advancement within a company. The theory was first recognized by the United States Supreme Court in 1971 in the case of Griggs v. Duke Power Co. In that case, the Court noted that:
[Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964] proscribes not only overt discrimination but also practices that are fair in form, but discriminatory in operation. The touchstone is business necessity. If an employment practice which operates to exclude [a protected class] cannot be shown to be related to job performance, the practice is prohibited.
The Griggs Court also stressed that good intentions do not matter, for "[G]ood intent or absence of discriminatory intent does not redeem employment procedures or testing mechanisms that operate as 'built-in headwinds' for minority groups and are unrelated to measuring job capability."
Thus, in a disparate impact case, the focus is not on evidence that the employer intended to discriminate. Rather, the focus is on statistics. If the statistics show that the employer's screening practice — no matter how innocuous on its face — has a substantial adverse impact on a protected group, the employer must show that the practice is job-related for the position in question and consistent with business necessity. The employer might still lose the case if there is evidence that the company refused to adopt an alternative employment practice that would have served the employer's legitimate interests without creating a disparate impact on a protected class.
In contrast, in a disparate treatment case, the focus is on evidence of the employer's intent. If the evidence shows that the employer intentionally discriminated against an employee or applicant on the basis of a protected classification, the employer will be held liable for unlawful employment discrimination based on the disparate treatment theory.
In addition to paying nearly $3 million to settle the EEOC case, Target also agreed to several non-monetary terms, such as:
- Not using the assessments again as part of its exempt-level employment selection procedures;
- Changing its applicant tracking systems to ensure that the collection of data is sufficient to assess adverse impact;
- Performing a predictive validity study for all exempt assessments currently in use and any new assessments the company expects to use;
- Monitoring its assessments for exempt-level professional positions for adverse impact based on race, ethnicity and gender; and
- Annually providing the EEOC with a detailed summary of the studies and the adverse impact analysis conducted.
As the Target case shows, even seemingly innocent employment screening practices can violate Title VII and other anti-discrimination laws. Therefore, employers who use such devices should carefully evaluate their potential adverse impacts before using or continuing them.

Poll: Obama's push for mandatory paid sick leave is not a good idea
President Barack Obama has recently pushed for mandatory paid sick leave for American workers. He asked for federal, state and local measures that would allow workers to earn up to a week of paid sick time annually. His proposals include a request for more than $2 billion in new spending to urge states to create paid family and medical leave programs.
For more details on his proposal, see reports by the Washington Post, USA Today, Baltimore Sun, Fox News and numerous other media outlets.
I asked my readers what think about this idea. Their response? They don't like it:
Only time and politics will tell whether their views are reflected in Washington.

MDHR Mediation — a Cautionary Tale
I am a strong advocate for mediation as a form of alternative dispute resolution ("ADR"). However, a recent Minnesota Department of Human Rights ("MDHR") case should cause anyone with charges pending before that agency to think twice before participating in MDHR mediation.
For the uninitiated, mediation is an ADR process where someone trained as a neutral (usually an attorney) is hired to meet with the parties and facilitate a discussion which, in the majority of cases, results in settlement of the dispute. It is a highly effective form of ADR.
When employment discrimination charges are filed with MDHR, the agency will often offer to mediate the dispute. Parties who agree to MDHR mediation hope for the same outcomes to be achieved as in private mediation; that is, saving the expense and delay of litigation, fashioning their own relief, maintaining a level of confidentiality, and avoiding the risk of a judge or jury publicly deciding their fate. An additional benefit of MDHR mediation is that the agency provides the mediator at no cost to the parties, whereas the parties typically share the cost of a privately retained mediator.
One recent MDHR case highlights the potential for unintended consequences of MDHR mediation. The case involved discrimination charges filed against Alexandria Light and Power ("ALP") by an employee who had resigned. The case was settled through MDHR mediation with an agreement for the claimant to paid $65,000.00 by ALP's insurer and with no admission of liability or findings of wrongdoing by ALP. This part of the process seemed to accomplish the parties' goals of saving costs and minimizing risk.
However, after the settlement was reached, MDHR publicized the outcome with a press release that was posted on its website and then re-distributed by local and statewide media. The problem with the MDHR press release was that it did not accurately describe the case or the settlement. Consequently, ALP issued its own statement to correct the misinformation.
Because ALP is a municipally owned utility, state law required that the settlement be public information; therefore, the parties did not expect the settlement to remain confidential. However, having the settlement inaccurately described in an MDHR press release was an unexpected twist.
Thus, parties facing MDHR charges should bear in mind the possibility of the agency publicizing the outcome of a settlement. To minimize that risk, consider using a private mediator, include confidentiality clauses (to the extent allowed by law), and if utilizing MDHR mediation, discuss beforehand with the agency any publicity limits that may be imposed.

Dazed and confused: medical marijuana and the workplace
Minnesota's legalization of medical marijuana is intended to provide relief for patients suffering from a narrow list of qualifying medical conditions. Minnesota employers may, however, feel a bit dazed and confused about its workplace implications. Let's try to clear that purple haze.
The main thing employers need to know is that the law prohibits them from discriminating in two distinct ways. First, employers must not discriminate in hiring, termination, or any term or condition of employment, or otherwise penalize a person, if the discrimination is based upon the person's enrollment in the state's medical marijuana registry program. In other words, employers cannot take adverse action against someone just because he or she is a patient enrolled in the program.
Second, employers must not discriminate against someone who tests positive for cannabis unless the person used, possessed, or was impaired by medical cannabis on the premises of the place of employment or during the hours of employment. Thus, being on the registry is not permission to show up stoned or light up at work.
It's important to note that under this new law, these two forms of discrimination are actually permitted if not discriminating would violate federal law or regulations or cause an employer to lose a monetary or licensing-related benefit under federal law or regulations. Because of this exception, employers need to take a close look at whether or not they are subject to any federal laws or regulations or licensing restrictions regarding their employees' marijuana use.
The law also allows a person to present, as part of his or her explanation of a positive test under Minnesota's Drug and Alcohol Testing in the Workplace Act, verification of his/her enrollment in the state's patient registry. Although the verification might help explain the positive test, the law does not say that such a verification justifies using, possessing or being impaired by cannabis at the workplace or during work hours. Thus, employers with MDATWA-compliant drug and alcohol testing policies will need to be prepared to address such explanations if provided.
Finally, although the law passed on May 29, 2014, the workplace implications of medical marijuana will not hit until mid-2015. According to the Minnesota Department of Health, patient registrations will not be accepted until May or June of next year, and medical cannabis will not be available until July 1, 2015. Nevertheless, employers should prepare for this by adopting or modifying workplace drug and alcohol policies, including MDATWA-compliant testing policies, to address these issues.

Minimum wage hike takes effect Friday
The first phase of Minnesota's minimum wage increases will take effect this Friday, August 1, 2014. Starting then, small employers must pay at least $6.50 per hour, and large employers must pay at least $8.00 per hour.
The law also allows for a 90-day training wage and a youth wage, both of which mirror the small employer minimum wage rates. It also includes automatic increases on August 1, 2015 and August 1, 2016, and it allows for inflationary increases starting in 2018.
For minimum wage purposes, state law defines a large employer as any enterprise with an annual gross dollar volume of sales made or business done of $500,000.00 or more. A small employer is any enterprise with an annual gross volume of sales made or business done of less than $500,000.00.
For more information about this article, please see the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry's fact sheet on minimum wage rates, the DOLI's related Employer Fact Sheet, or contact me at email@example.com.

Land Development Code
Growing up: Council wrestles with competing water and housing needs
Between an invasion of zebra mussels, an extended boil-water notice due to continued flooding and the concerning results of the Atlas 14 regional rainfall study, city water problems have crowded to the surface in the months since the last land use code rewrite attempt was scrapped.
Preparing to pick up where that process ended, City Council asked city staff Thursday to give water a central role when drafting a new code with a text and map that will coordinate with the city's Water Forward plan, decrease citywide allowable impervious cover, improve water quality, and reduce flooding.
Given the city's housing goals and growth projections, Council Member Alison Alter said constituents are struggling to reconcile the apparent contradiction between increasing entitlements to promote development while reducing allowable impervious cover.
"Overall we're increasing the capacity of our zoning code a lot with this direction," Alter said. "I'm still not totally understanding how you do this big change and end up with a reduced amount of allowable impervious cover."
Alter specifically mentioned the interiors of single-family neighborhoods, where so-called "transition zones" extending outward from Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan activity corridors and Austin Strategic Mobility Plan transportation priority network routes would encourage multiple units to take the place of or be added onto current single-family lots.
Those transitions zones are indeed likely to see an increase in total allowable impervious cover under the new code, explained Greg Dutton, a principal planner with the Planning and Zoning Department. In contrast, due to decreases in impervious cover in other – mostly commercial – zoning categories, Dutton said the net impact in citywide allowable impervious cover is likely to be neutral or slightly less than what is zoned today.
As Council Member Jimmy Flannigan emphasized, impervious cover will continue to increase whether or not the development code is updated due to the inevitability of new projects going up on greenfield tracts. Rather than actually reducing impervious cover, Council is asking that the code reduce how much may legally be added as the city continues to grow.
For example, total impervious cover projections were trending downward in various previous code rewrite drafts due to adjustments to large-scale commercial zoning categories, explained Matt Hollon, manager of the Watershed Protection Department Planning Division.
Referring to language in Draft 3 of CodeNEXT that would have doubled the percentage of allowed impervious cover in some parcels along corridors, Alter said counterbalancing those relaxations with tighter restrictions in other areas may not be adequate to mitigate flooding along those corridors.
But according to both Hollon and Dutton, increasing the density along corridors doesn't necessarily mean harming the watersheds or drastically increasing impervious cover.
One solution, Hollon said, is to build up rather than out.
"Watershed Protection is sort of neutral on height, so we're okay as long as we're leaving the impervious cover and natural function intact," he said.
Council Member Leslie Pool further pressed the issue with adopted language directing staff to make sure impervious cover and water quality changes are considered in individual watersheds, not just citywide.
Echoing those concerns, Council Member Ann Kitchen mentioned the need for more thorough consideration of drainage and flooding in individual site plans, using South Lamar as an example of that failure.
"Currently in the South Lamar neighborhood area, there's been significant infill development, which is fine – that neighborhood has not objected to that – but at the same time that has caused increased flooding and there's been no assessment of the impact on increased flooding in our site development process," Kitchen said.
Hollon, however, countered that narrative, which appeared to place too much blame for the city's water problems on development.
"South Austin, unfortunately, has gotten bombed a couple of times with record flooding, so you have a lot of overlapping things going on where people are seeing a lot of development going in, they're seeing this incredible rainfall, there's flooding, and then it turns out that a lot of the drainage systems can't even handle what we call, maybe, a two- or five-year flood," Hollon said. "So those are already overwhelmed and development is not necessarily … adding to the problem, but people kind of associate it with the problems."

Austin City Council: The Austin City Council is the body with legislative purview over the City of Austin. It offers policy direction, while the office of the City Manager implements administrative actions based on those policies. Until 2012, the body contained seven members, including the city's Mayor, all elected at-large. In 2012, City of Austin residents voted to change that system and now 10 members of the Council are elected based on geographic districts. The Mayor continues to be elected at-large.
CodeNEXT: CodeNEXT is the name given to the land development code rewrite process undertaken in the early 2010s by the City of Austin.

Paul Pogba did not look like he is near a return to fitness when he turned up at Old Trafford on Sunday with a crutch and a huge bandage covering a cast on his right foot.
The Manchester United midfielder has not played since 30 September with a foot injury, believed to be a cracked toe.
The Frenchman posted a picture on Instagram on Saturday showing him in training, which he captioned 'almost there' but this may have been optimistic.
There had been hope that Pogba could be fit again by the time United travel to take on Partizan Belgrade on Thursday in the Europa League, but this looks highly unlikely based on Sunday's evidence.
The Red Devils return to Premier League action after their match with Liverpool on Sunday afternoon when they go to Norwich next Sunday.
Whether Pogba will be back in time for the trip to Carrow Road is yet to be seen, but it again looks unlikely as he is still reliant on a crutch.
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer explained that Pogba had been playing with the injury and was in pain in matches against Rochdale in the EFL Cup and Arsenal in the Premier League, but he is on the road to recovery.
'He's been playing through the pain barrier and he's been criticised left, right and centre,' said the United boss. 'But when he came back for Rochdale and Arsenal he could easily have opted to not try to play them, but he wanted to play, he wanted to try to get back.
'It was too painful so he had that scan but he's on the way back, he's mending, he's recovering.'

The firm is now around $550 million behind Zoetis in the animal health industry rankings, which marks the smallest gap between the sector's top two businesses since 2010 (when Merck Animal Health was approximately $600m behind Pfizer Animal Health).
Boehringer is only the second animal health company to report annual revenues over $4bn. This is the first full year since Boehringer closed its acquisition of Merial, with the transaction helping revenues rise 167% over the course of the 2017.
The firm told Animal Pharm it reported 1% sales growth in the year of integration when factoring out the Merial acquisition and the product lines that were spun-off due to anti-trust regulations. Michael Schmelmer, the company's chief information officer, said it is very unusual for a company to go through such a large acquisition integration process and still report underlying growth.
At the company's Ingelheim headquarters, chief executive Hubertus von Baumbach said the Merial integration had been a demanding undertaking both internally and for the firm's external partners.
He indicated Boehringer's human and animal health businesses will now be focusing on organic growth. Mr von Baumbach said the company is currently not seeking any "major M&A" but did not rule out any small deals.
The impact of the Merial transaction is now being reflected in Boehringer's new status as a market leader across many segments. It is now the largest company in terms of global sales of products for companion animals, horses and pigs.
Boehringer is also the third-largest firm in the poultry health sector and fourth in cattle. It is also the leading business for vaccines and antiparasitics – the two product categories driving the company's focus on preventatives.
From a geographic perspective, as well as being the biggest European animal health business, Boehringer is the top international veterinary medicines firm in China. Boehringer also told Animal Pharm it is now the largest animal health company in Mexico.
Animal health now represents 22% of overall Boehringer group turnover. Last year, the animal health portion was 9% of Boehringer annual sales.
Boehringer's top-selling products now feature several important former Merial brands. Nexgard is the company's best-selling product generating €546 million in 2017, followed by Frontline at €381m and Heartgard at €284m.
The firm's swine vaccine Ingelvac Circoflex recorded revenues of around €300m, which was a year-on-year improvement of 7%.
The company, which now has 10,000 employees, highlighted three key areas for the growth of its animal health business. It will focus on product innovation, as well as the combination of research in human and animal medicine – something the company is already working on in the area of diabetes.
Mr von Baumbach used Apoquel from Zoetis as an example of how a product originally from the human health sector can "lead to a breakthrough".
"There are even fewer companies now that have human health and animal health research," he said. "We are making an effort to get people to sit at the same table and talk about potential solutions."
Interestingly, the third pillar of the firm's strategy is "new digital platforms to establish direct connections between users of our medications".
Across 2017, Boehringer invested €65m on new R&D plants and the expansion of existing facilities. Recently, the company signalled investment in its infrastructure in France and the US.
The company initiated over 500 clinical trials during 2017. It also registered more than 80 patents and gained around 200 product authorizations globally.
According to Animal Pharm's Industry Rankings, Boehringer was the 19th largest animal health business in 1990, with sales of just $107m. By 2000, the firm had risen to 17th with turnover of $275m.
Animal Pharm's latest top 20 industry rankings will be published next week.
The infographic below shows how Boehringer has evolved over the last decade. The company has only failed to record annual sales growth once in the last 10 years.

Chinese President Xi Jinping's concern that the world could fall into a trade war is premature because it's too early to know the outcome of President-elect Donald Trump's plans, Bank of America chief Brian Moynihan told CNBC on Tuesday.
"Xi spoke earlier this morning, and he's quoting Abraham Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address about development being 'for the people, by the people'," Moynihan said on "Squawk Box" from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
"You start to say this is a pretty interesting world where you have the president of China quoting the great American president," he added.
In his speech, Xi said: "It is true that economic globalization created new problems, but this is no justification to write off economic globalization altogether." He also warned that populist approaches could lead to war and poverty.
Moynihan, who had lunch with Xi, reported the Chinese president is "very much concerned that there will be a retraction from trade, and the ability of trade to help the world grow, and the ability rebalance the imbalances in economies."
As one of the five co-chairs of the World Economic Forum, Moynihan said: "That's the fear out there."
But the Bank of America chairman and CEO added: "I think we've just got to let it play out for a while.
"There's always around elections ... a lot of hand-wringing about what will happen next," he added. "When you get into it, everything takes more time. People have to think it through."

To your right is a dirt trail known as the Frey (fry) Trail. Steep switchbacks lead up to the canyon rim and Juniper Campground. Named for early park concessionaires, this trail marks one of the easier (but still extremely steep) accesses to this canyon. Ancestral Pueblo people would have had to make their way into and out of the canyon to tend mesa fields and to trade.

When this tea showed up on day five of my tea advent calendar*, I was immediately intrigued by the ingredient inclusion of chestnuts. Like, the roasting-on-an-open-fire kind? What does a chestnut even TASTE like, I thought to myself.
And then I brewed it up, immediately picked out the warm, toasty, nutty notes and went, oh yeah! I know what chestnuts taste like! I just had forgotten, apparently. If you've forgotten, too– well, they're nutty. Warm. A little bit more savory than your garden variety almond, but not in a gross way, just in a way that evokes all the good holiday feels. Top it off with the creamy vanilla in this delightful black tea, and you've got a great cuppa. I don't know if I'm picking up on the "meringue" flavor so much as I'm just getting delicious vanilla notes, but either way, it works here. With a splash of cream and honey, this makes for a decadent and festive morning cup that has nothing to do with peppermint or spice. Yum! I'll at least *sip* this one over an open fire, any day.
*Can we all agree this is the best idea ever? I switched it up from my usual David's Tea 24 Days of Tea to a calendar put out by my favorite Plum Deluxe this year, and it was a great call. I still like DT, but their offerings were getting boring (same thing! every year!) and PD's is more than just tea. So fun!

Ginger Ninja from BlendBee. . . .
Let me take you on a little adventuring in brewing this tea, friends. Imagine: a normal office environment. One woman… her desk, full of tea. Her morning: slow and in need of a pick-me-up. Everyone else around her: hacking up a lung from the winter-sick that sets in every year around this time. She's desiring something that feels a little medicinal, but also tastes good (obviously). Skeptically, she picks up this tea from her stash– "Ooh, ginger!" she thinks. "Oh… green tea?" This isn't looking good for one such green tea skeptic.
Regardless, she pours some hot water from the tap, giving it a second to cool down, and hesitantly scoops the dry leaf into her cup. Two and half minutes later…
She takes a whiff. "Ooh, grassy– not my favorite," she ponders. But she persists. A quick sip– "where'd that grassiness go?" she wonders. It's gone! It's replaced with spicy, warming, peppery ginger, a light hint of floral and her favorite: sweet and mellow licorice root. Sure, there's a hint of green-ery (if you will) in the background. But it's not overwhelmingly herbaceous, as her first sip would've had you believing. It's sweet and warm and unusual, and surprisingly addictive– within a few minutes, she's downed the whole cup. Who's a green tea skeptic? Not her, anymore. Another cup? Don't mind if she does…
And scene.

Day 8 of the 52Teas Countdown to Christmas!
On the 8th Day of Christmas 52 Teas gave to me…Creamy Eggnog Dusted with Nutmeg Green Tea! (Every time I write that line, I totally sing it in my head) So, I feel like eggnog is one of those things that you either love or hate. However- I am one of those people who actually is a little in between. I don't really drink a glass of eggnog, I feel like I'm drinking cream. I do, however, enjoy the actual taste of eggnog and eggnog-flavored desserts. For example- I'm pretty sure McDonalds comes out with an Eggnog Milkshake in the winter and I do like that. Another example is I just saw a recipe for Eggnog French Toast that looks really good and I'm actually planning on making it for my family on Christmas morning!
Now, back to tea! I love, love, love the green tea base here. It's light and not overly-grassy or bitter. It has almost a buttery quality. This is the perfect green tea base. I steeped this for exactly 2 minutes to make sure it was not oversteeped. The eggnog flavor is delicate but present and it's not overly sweet or in-your-face, which I really enjoy. The nutmeg gives a little twist, and I feel like it was also very necessary to this tea! I always sprinkle some extra nutmeg on whatever eggnog-flavored item I'm making! It's not a holiday box without something eggnog, is it? I feel like people who are on the other side of the fence with the flavor of eggnog would probably enjoy this anyway, as it's a festive and yummy blend!

Wouldn't you know it – after a couple of weeks of roasting hot weather – the weather has now turned nasty (Scotland has had several inches of snow after temperatures over 20degC last week!) and we have temperatures less than 10degC and rain. It's just because round here it is the first week of the school Easter Holidays….. Thanks goodness we aren't going off to some part of the UK hoping for a sunny week or so.
Anyway, the weather has put something of a stop on working outside but I did manage an hour or so yesterday and finished digging over plot C so at least that is done – (see pic below) and not a moment too soon as some of the broad beans are just about big enough to go out now (they are already in the cold frame). Also, I finally put the chitting potatoes into the containers with a couple of inches of compost over the top. At least the rain today will help them get going (and the rest of the garden which was rather dry).
In spite of the rain I managed long enough in the greenhouse to get some tomato seeds into pots – yes I know it's late but I just haven't had the time. Next I need to get my climbing french beans going, so that's another target for the next few days.
The fruit bushes in the garden are now bursting into leaf and all seem to have survived, though some look healthier than others. The damson trees are in full flower as well, quite a sight, but only time will tell if they are going to produce a reasonable harvest. The rhubarb is coming on nicely (covered over of course) – may be a meal in a week or so.
Wildlife wise – the blackbirds are nesting and above the 'normal' bird visitors, we have had quite a few greenfinches visit so far, which is unusual, plus a couple of chaffinches (though I'm never sure why so few – there ought to be more finches)

Looking back on SGMT's history, it is impossible not to see an organization determined to overcome the incredible odds against it and rising to the challenges before it. The brainchild of playwright Mark Ogden who passed away in 1994, the reins were turned over to Don and Dawna Kenworthy who guided the small organization from a fledgling company of passionate followers to the most successful community theater in southern Utah. By 2007 SGMT was producing 8 shows annually with over 50,000 passing through its doors each year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I love to act but I can't sing or dance. Can I just do the acting portion of the audition?
A: Each student needs to prepare all three aspects of the audition, not just the one you are comfortable with. Although you need to sing, dance, and act in the audition, that doesn't mean we will make you sing a solo or dance a crazy ballet if you aren't comfortable with it. There are scenes in a musical where the entire cast sings, dances, and acts, and its important for us to know that you are willing to do your best at each.
Q: I have never even heard of a monologue. How am I supposed to prepare one?
A: There are 3 places I recommend looking for a monologue. The first? THE INTERNET! Try googling "teen girl monologues" or something else that fits you. You can also search for movie scripts (but make sure it is long enough) or the city library. The library has a lot of books with monologues in them that you will be able to check out or copy pages from.
Q: What are the requirements for the song portion of the audition?
A: You can find suggestions for your 16 bar audition under the "Musical Theater Solo & Duet List" tab above. Google a song that sounds interesting to you and choose one you like! They are only divided by girl and boy solos, so make sure you pick one that is appropriate for your voice part. Mrs. Bird and Mr. Wright have the music for most of these, and others you can buy online and print off yourself. If you have questions about picking a solo appropriate for you, just ask! We will gladly give you advice :) You DO need the piano accompaniment for your song, so practice with it! We will not accept any a cappella auditions.

At dusk, the bars and restaurants that crowd the underside of the tracks at Yurakucho Station come alive.
Lanterns flicker on, sign boards are propped up on the sidewalk, and charcoal grills are lit.
The patrons stream in from every direction. Dark-suited professionals arrive from the office blocks to the north and west alongside curators of fashion and culture from Ginza to the south, and workers from the last of the mom and pop operations in Hatchobori join from the east. Even executives from Marunouchi, who could easily afford a high-end sushi dinner, often opt for a weak plastic stool, a mug of beer and a plate of something cheap under the tracks.
Drinking under the tracks near Yurakucho Station has been the unofficial neighborhood pastime since the 1950s, when a thriving postwar black market helped draw shoppers to the area. These days, the informal atmosphere unites people from across the social spectrum in raucous celebration of the completion of another day's work. It is the perfect antidote to hours of keeping up appearances for clients and customers.
Yurakucho is not unique — it is just the apex of a phenomenon seen throughout Japan. Lively clusters of shops and restaurants can be found under elevated train tracks across Tokyo, from Koenji to Ryogoku. But for the most part, these spaces are holdovers from an earlier era. Most newer station developments follow a different model, typically involving a glitzy mall and a charmless bus plaza.
Recently, though, developments under rail lines have been making a comeback, taking inspiration from Yurakucho and its ilk. One example is mAAch ecute, a cluster of shops under the Chuo Line tracks near Kanda Station. The complex is built in the shell of the former Manseibashi train station, which operated from 1912 to 1943. The wide brick arches and granite cornerstones that support the elevated train platform are nearly identical to those in Yurakucho. The design of mAAch ecute, however, exposes and celebrates the architecture rather than cluttering it with haphazard additions and signage.
Smooth new concrete walls reinforce the brick arches of mAAch ecute, creating a bright, modern enclosure for the shops inside. The majority of the continuous space is taken up with an eclectic, design-oriented market where a brewery, a clothing store, a furniture showroom, a stationery shop and a cafe all mingle together.
There is also an event space that hosts a changing lineup of crafts classes, pop-up stores and workshops. On my last visit, the space was filled by a weeklong pop-up shop put on by Neko, a magazine for cat lovers. In addition to their magazine, they offered toys, treats and many volumes detailing the finer points of cat ownership. I pretended to peruse these items while observing a class on embroidery.
About 15 people had gathered to try their hand at cat portraiture, each carefully stitching the face of their pet onto a piece of cloth, which could then be transferred to a shirt or pillow.
MAAch ecute also includes a number of small, independent shops such as Obscura, a coffee roaster from Hiroshima that has set up a Tokyo outpost. The shop has made a name for itself by stocking a variety of single-origin beans, and by offering free tastings before you buy. The coffee is a welcome companion while wandering through the complex, which includes a meticulously detailed model of the station and its surroundings circa the Taisho Era (1912-1926).
MAAch ecute is also a good place to take in the surroundings. The main shopping area opens onto a long outdoor terrace that hangs over the Kanda River. From here, one can lounge and watch people, trains and even the occasional boat go by. A staircase inside leads to an upper-level cafe that sits between two sections of active rail track, with trains passing within a meter or so of the glassed-in dining area.
Meanwhile, Koganecho, a gritty neighborhood a few train stops west of downtown Yokohama, provides an entirely different spin on what is possible under the tracks. The bars of Yurakucho and the shops of mAAch ecute both rely on atmospheric architecture and a central location to attract visitors, but Koganecho is attempting to build a reputation as a vibrant cultural center in its own right.
For years, the small shops near Koganecho Station were centers for drug trafficking and prostitution, blighting the area and drawing it into decline. As recently as 2004, some 200 illegal businesses operated in Koganecho, but efforts by the local community have transformed the district over the past decade into a hub of the Yokohama art scene.
New galleries, art studios, public spaces and shops have been constructed piecemeal under the tracks, part of a slow but steady revitalization that will take years to complete. Several community groups stage events and shows in the flexible spaces, sometimes in collaboration with the Yokohama College of Art and Design. There are also several small live/work studios that host a mix of Japanese and international artists in residence. Their work is often on view in the small venues that dot the neighborhood.
The Koganecho Art Book Bazaar, a bookstore in a sleek glass box tucked under the tracks, is a standout. The warm wood interior is filled to bursting with artist monographs, magazines and works of art history. The shop also stocks old maps, advertisements, prints, VHS tapes and a seemingly random assortment of other knickknacks. It is easy to lose track of time here, leafing through rare books on 1960s Japanese avant-garde performers or 19th-century European landscape painting. The staff don't seem to mind if you make the shop your home for an hour or two, which fits the laid-back atmosphere of the area.
The revitalization of Koganecho has begun to spread out from the train tracks, transforming small buildings nearby. Formerly vacant storefronts are now filling with coffee houses, cafes and crafts shops. For now, at least, some of the older watering holes and dive restaurants remain. These elements of the district's seedy past mix pleasantly with the newcomers, creating a unique texture.
Nakameguro Koukashita, on the other hand, is decidedly upscale. Koukashita, in the popular Tokyo neighborhood of Nakameguro, is the most recent example of the under-the-tracks revitalization trend. Like Koganecho, Nakameguro was once a down-and-out district that in recent years has seen successive waves of gentrification. The area is home to luxury clothing stores, pricey bars and a cafe specializing in French toast and champagne. Koganecho might look something like this in a decade or two.
But not everything at Koukashita requires a big budget. Samon, a well known Nagoya oden hot pot restaurant, has opened a location here. You can choose from between 20 to 30 reasonably priced items that simmer in their massive, meter-wide vat of broth. And a stylish new branch of Tsutaya, the bookstore chain, is open daily until 1 a.m., making it a pleasant place to lounge after touring the row of shops and eateries that rambles on for the better part of a kilometer, almost as long as its cousin in Yurakucho.
Spending time under the train tracks cannot be called a "traditional" Japanese activity, but in some ways the practice is more socially relevant than neighborhood festivals or fireworks shows. Unconscious daily rituals are what hold cultures together, and life under the tracks is tied intimately to routine. In a city where roughly half of commuters travel by train, the community and commerce that develop around stations take on a special importance. These areas are well worth exploring, whether in Yurakucho or Nakameguro, Tokyo or Yokohama.
Personally, I most often find myself in Yurakucho. When I'm in the neighborhood, I usually head a few blocks south of the station to Motsuyaki Fuji, a bargain-basement izakaya bar where everything is coated in a thin film of something else. A sticky countertop, a dusty jar of dried squid, a damp forehead, a sopping skewer of chicken, and a floor caked in ash and dried liquor. The air itself is laced with smoke, distorting vision in a way that complements the effects of alcohol. The beer flows, the people come and go, the trains rattle overhead, and I am always sad to leave at closing time.
Getting there: MAAch ecute is within walking distance of Akihabara and Kanda stations, among others. Visit www.maach-ecute.jp.e.of.hp.transer.com/access.html for more information. Others areas of interest can be found under the tracks of Yurakucho, Nakameguro and Koganecho stations.

Hi all!
So today marks one month since arriving here in Paris! Time flies quickly when you're having fun, am I right?
I arrived here four weeks last Wednesday and have been living in my residence for four weeks come Monday. I feel like I have settled in well, although everything still feels very new, despite having been here in Paris for a month and already been at work for three weeks! It feels more normal each week, and my routine is gradually, gradually settling down.
The first week and a half that I was here was a bit manic, trying to find somewhere to live, getting used to the change from Spain (keep your eyes peeled for a post about the changes I will be putting out later today!) and then moving in and spending a week working on an important project for my university in England.
My 'second' week (I am now not counting the first five days I was here before I moved in to my residence) was my first week at work, which was a little bit scary to think about beforehand, but put me right at ease once I finally got there. I learned that it is a lot more casual and flexible than I was expecting (in a very good way!) and spending time around lovely people all day has made me feel a lot happier in general, and a lot better about living alone. It also helps in making me actually want to go to work, haha!
My third week was my first week of proper lesson, not counting the first few days. It was a little nerve-wracking, and I'm still not 100% sure if I'm doing this teacher thing correctly! I also spent my third week booking new rooms for all my lessons, and rearranging my timetable as new people wanted lessons and old people were told that their lessons were being stopped (you don't turn up for six lessons and don't explain, apologise or reply to any of my emails? You're being cut off, mister!)
This week, my fourth week here and my third week at work, was a lot quieter and I was less nervous. The quiet part had something to do with what felt like almost half of the people at the office being on holiday for the two-week school holiday. The nervous part had to do with the fact that I feel happy and comfortable here, and I am also starting to do things after work during the week (pancake day, aw yeah!) as well as doing some things on the weekends, so I feel a little more human! Also during my fourth week I discovered that my amazing local bakery is open early, so I now get my breakfast from there every morning…
I have lots of things to look forward to in the next few weeks – my first payday at some point at the end of the month being the closet, most exciting thing! After that, I'm super, super excited for my birthday! I have almost my entire close family coming to visit for the weekend three weeks from now to celebrate three of our birthdays (including my 21st!!!) I'm also looking forward to going to the Chinese New Year parade in the Quartier chinois (Chinatown) tomorrow, which is supposed to be very impressive.
(I understand I haven't been on my video game for the past month, but now I am settled I am going to try to do a video at least twice-weekly, starting with a video of the parade, tomorrow!)
So that's about it! All in all, the past month has been pretty good, and has gone so quickly! I'm almost a little upset that it has gone so quickly because I am enjoying myself so much and I don't want the next five months to rush by!
To all of you on placements, new or continuing, how are they going? I hope you're all having a wonderful time and embracing the language and cultures of your countries!
Until next time,
H x
I can't believe it has already been a month! And I've really got to get your package out if I want it to arrive before your birthday. Ahh.
<3 So looking forward to come videos, love you!

Large Envelope Chain Bag
From: $220.00
Expert Italian craftsmanship meets Parisian elegance meets Aussie chick rocking the socks off the whole party.
Retail price $3,310.
Crafted in Italy from de poudre textured matelasse navy leather.
Saint Laurent's fusion of refinement and rebellion continues with this large rectangular bag in envelope style, featuring front flap closure and iconic gold-tone YSL plaque. The quilted stitching and fine grain texture deliver a rock edge with an unprecedented standard of luxury.
Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture house to introduce the concept of luxury pret-a-porter. Saint Laurent remains true to its principals of youth and freedom, while continuing to exude elegance at every move.
Gold chain and leather strap to be worn on the shoulder, or doubled for a reduced drop or for carrying by hand.
Exceptional with monochrome outfits of the crispest whites and deepest blacks, we also love the Envelope Bag with short hemlines and boxy jackets.

The front flap lifts to grosgrain lining with an internal zipped pocket. This large compartment is roomy enough for essentials and a small bottle of water. Or we might suggest a sneaky hip flask…depending on the occasion, of course.

Douglas Kirkland on Photography: A Conversation with Gerd Ludwig
MP4 | Video: 720p | Duration: 54:07 | English | Subtitles: VTT | 1023.9 MB
MP4 | Video: 720p | Duration: 54:07 | English | Subtitles: VTT | 1023.9 MB
In this installment of Douglas Kirkland On Photography, Douglas Kirkland talks with his friend and colleague, Gerd Ludwig. A photojournalist best known for his work in National Geographic magazine, Gerd Ludwig has taken a special interest in Russia and the former Soviet Union—in particular, the people and stories surrounding the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
As the installment begins, Gerd is packing for this third major trip to Chernobyl. Gerd shares his techniques for choosing and packing gear for a photojournalism expedition.
Next, Douglas and Gerd sit down for a wide-ranging conversation. They discuss the changing business landscape of photography and Gerd's approach to photojournalism. Gerd also describes how and why he works in Chernobyl and details how he financed his latest trip through the crowdfunding site Kickstarter.com.
After Gerd returns from Chernobyl, he and Douglas meet again to review some of the photographs and video that Gerd shot during his latest trip. They talk about Chernobyl today, about how video is impacting photojournalism, and about the future of Gerd's "Long Shadow of Chernobyl" project.

All Our Storage tubes have unlimited uses, such as storage for, posters, blue prints, maps, documents, large photo prints, drawings, artwork, arrows, fishing rods, drum sticks, or whatever else you can imagine
Key Features

"Works just as described, and included detailed instructions on how to adjust the length of the tube. The carrying strap was very comfortable, and had no problems flying with my poster to an international conference. Make sure to write you name on your poster tube! I got the black one, so it's easy to mistake it for somebody else's poster tube. Highly recommended!"
HM- 5 Stars
"The mailing tube works well. The first time you try to expand it you have to work it a bit (it opens near the cap end). Once free, you can expand and lock it in place quite easily. The twist off cap works great and had its own clear lid where you can insert a return address. Carry strap works fine - you have to release it by slowly feeding fabric through the catch, but once open it stays in place and the length is definitely sufficient even if you open the tube to its maximum length.
The plastic did have a horrible smell when first opened - probably outgassing of the lubricant used as a plastic mold releasing agent. But, a few days later no problems with smell. The seller gets high marks - kept in touch and ensured I received the product on time, which I did."
RF- 4 Stars
"Great customer service! I was initially having trouble lengthening the shoulder strap but after posting about my problem I got immediately detailed instructions on how to adjust it. The tube does extend to 40" and can fit multiple posters."

10 Gems Of Classic European Cinema Screening In Israel
The Culture Trip.com | 20 January 2016
Already in its fourth year, Another Look – The Restored European Film Project lets Israeli audiences catch some real gems of classic cinema. This year's program includes 10 films, which will be shown at the Cinematheques in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, Holon, and Herzliya during the months of January-February, 2016. As in previous editions, the 2016 selection is centered on a theme. Titled Role Play: Femininity and Masculinity on Film, this thematic focus binds the program's films around what they say about the relationship between traditional gender roles and greater political, cultural, and economic forces. The purpose here, however, is not only to discuss historical European definitions of what conventionally constitutes 'feminine' and 'masculine', but to locate in them, at least in part, the roots of contemporary Israeli gender roles. As such, Another Look 2016″provides its audience with a unique vantage point for questioning what attributes and attitudes are associated with masculinity and femininity in Israeli society today.
