Private Unemployment Insurance
Private Unemployment Insurance
Many today are looking to extend their unemployment benefits. Some are looking into private unemployment plans to do this. There are several private companies that offer Unemployment insurance should you loose your job. For a small monthly fee, you can receive a pay out should you become unemployed through no fault of your own. In this article we will look at what you should know before you purchase private Unemployment insurance. We will talk about the pitfalls and things you need to look out for when you purchase these policies.
Before you take out a private unemployment insurance policy, you should first check to see what their claim recovery rate is. If the only ever pay out on 30 percent of their claims then you should definitely look elsewhere. There is no point in paying this extra money only to find out it was a complete waste of time. They are legally obligated to give you this information so don't be afraid to ask.
If your policy seems to have a lot of pages, think twice before signing. At very least make sure you or someone you trust goes through it with you. This could be an indication that there are hidden things in the Unemployment Insurance agreement. There is no reason you cannot be given a short document with everything outlined in layman's terms.
Make sure you understand the conditions in which the company will pay out. Many times they will only pay out if you were laid off, not fired. Some companies will try to hide this with clever language as well. If you want full comprehensive unemployment insurance then make sure that is what you are getting. There are several companies that offer this and will pay out provided you didn't quite or weren't fired for gross misconduct.
If you are hoping to include accident or sickness cover with your policy, again make sure you understand the terms and conditions. Some companies will only pay out with a very expensive, specialist diagnosis. Try to find a company that will pay simply by seeing your doctor.
Private unemployment insurance can be a good idea. It can offer extra protection in the event of job loss. Those who take on extra unemployment insurance must know what they are getting. Make sure your policy will pay out when you need it to, no when it is convenient for them.

Chlorine Flush Status
December 04, 2018
We have been in touch with State Department of Health and they have advised us that the Chlorine Flush they ordered CBB to undertake will not be lifted until the first part of January 2019 at the earliest. This has to do with testing that must be completed on Bossier City's water, which is our source of water. Hopefully we can get back to normal in early January. We will keep you updated. Thank you for your patience.

22 May 2015
The peak national motoring body, the Australian Automobile Association (AAA), has welcomed a new report from Infrastructure Australia highlighting the need for better long term planning and a new approach to road funding, capable of delivering improved liveability for the community.
"The report further highlights that growing congestion is impacting productivity and liveability", AAA Chief Executive Michael Bradley said.
"It also clearly shows how and why increasing consumer demand for new infrastructure, and decreasing capacity of governments to fund it, means a new approach is needed", he said.
"The telecommunication and energy sectors have changed in recent years to boost efficiency and allow consumers greater choice. Allowing access to similar arrangements that let people pay for what they use in the transport sector should now be considered and encouraged", Mr Bradley said.
Infrastructure Australia's report audits Australia's infrastructure and congestion problems and states:
"In 2011, the cost of delays on roads in the six largest capital cities was $13.7 billion. This figure is projected to grow by around 290% to $53.3 billion in 2031, in the absence of appropriate strategies, including integrated land use and transport planning, new road construction, additional public transport investment and the introduction of demand management measures".
"This is further evidence that congestion has huge economic and social consequences for the people living in Australian cities and cannot be allowed to become a central part of the Australian story", Mr Bradley said.
Federal Budget Papers show revenue raised through fuel excise in 2015-16 will increase to $15.2 billion and expenditure on and transport in that period will be $7 billion.
"The AAA strongly welcomes the Infrastructure Australia report and supports a system that provides a transparent link between taxes motorists pay and transport planning and expenditure".

Vintage Pompadour Pearls // Cleaning
Pompadour Pearls are a brand of faux pearl that were popular in the 1950s and 60s. This particular strand has a gorgeous ornate clasp and these were given to me from my mother who got them from her mother. Obviously they're quite old, and while still beautiful, they were looking a bit yellowed and aged. I did a bit of research on them and decided to give cleaning them a go.
They were so easy to clean- I took a bowl of warm (not hot) water, added some gentle hand soap and let the pearls soak in the solution for a few minutes. Then I just rubbed gently the necklace with a toothbrush so I could get into all the cracks. Once they looked clean, I just gently dried them with a towel, particularly the clasp.
As you can see from the photos, it has made a big difference and they're looking a lot whiter then before. No doubt you'll be seeing these in some upcoming outfit posts as they are just so beautiful!

Streets is a small sized multiplayer map in The Conduit and Conduit 2. It is most likely best played with 2-6 players. By looking at the street signs in the map, one will find out that it is located between the streets Bermont and Sutter.
Streets takes place in a bright daytime setting in the war-torn Washington D.C. It is a symmetrical map, with the player bases opposing each other, with the street as the separator. Each side has two buildings that are divided by alleyways. The buildings offer a lot of vertical cover and are great for marksman with the SCAR or Strike Rifle. Debris litters the street to provide cover, while two masses of rubble on either side of the map act as extra spawn locations. In a Team Objective match using two ASEs, the teams' ASEs are found inside their corresponding buildings on the second floor. One can enter this room by using the building's stairs or by jumping through the second floor window from the neighboring building. When there is only one ASE, its location is in the middle of the map on the street.
Game ModesEdit
Each game mode can offers special rules and placement of the ASE.
- In Free-For-All, all fourteen areas within the map are available for players to spawn into.
- In ASE Football, the ASE is located in the middle of the map ready for a player to take.
- Some weapon sets will have specific weapon caches allowed.
Team ReaperEdit
- In Team Reaper, players spawn in their teams respected base color.
- Half of the spawn spots are available for each team.
- Some weapon sets will have specific weapon caches allowed.
Team ObjectiveEdit
- In Team Objective, players spawn in their teams respected base color.
- Half of the spawn spots are available for each team.
- In Single ASE, the ASE will be located at the center of the map.
- Some weapon sets will have specific weapon caches allowed.
Weapon LocationsEdit
In the blue team building in streets, there is a glitch where you can go through the wall and eliminate your enemies behind the rubble. To go through the wall, you punch and move your thumbstick forward/left. When your through, you can explore behind buildings.
Conduit 2 VersionEdit
Streets Prime is an improved version of the original multiplayer level from The Conduit that is Conduit 2. It features graphical improvements and modifications to fix glitches and to be used with the new game modes like Annexation and Power Surge that features additional objects in the map. The map also sports some minor modifications to make it less symmetrical. A critical change made to the map is the removal of the small platform that served as a connection between the team's buildings, this change forces players to take the only possible route to the first floor on the team bases.This one, Pentagon and Sanctum from The Conduit were chosen from a poll in the SEGA forums and The Conduit Facebook page to be featured in Conduit 2. Due to its large popularity, Streets won the Facebook poll by a good margin.[1]
- Likely due to the frantic pace of the map, it has been one of the more popular maps in the The Conduit. While recommended for 2-6 players, it often easily features more online, furthering the hectic style of its design.
- Streets is located on the intersection of Belmont Street and Sutter Street in Washington, D.C.
- The intersection of Belmont Street and Sutter Street is in fact in real life, but it occurs as "5th Street" and "6th Street," it is also not an intersection at all, instead 6th Street is a turn off of 5th Street with nothing on the other side of the road.

Suppose Butcher uses Ruthless Onslaught and is chasing a Hero. Is there a way for Butcher to manually cancel the action before reaching the Hero?
I thought I saw a teammate, playing Butcher, cancel the chase, but maybe there was a stun in effect. A related question, can other Heroes stun Butcher while he is chasing?

I ran into a guy named Mike the other day who was wearing a copper bracelet. I hadn't seen one in a while so I asked him if he thought the metal next to his skin was helping his health. He said yes, with no hesitation.
Now, I've heard tell for many years – decades, in fact – that copper is one of those metals that has the reputation of being a curative, especially for arthritis. Seeing that copper ornament set me to wondering what this buzz is all about.
First and foremost, we think of copper as a metal – which it is – but it is also a mineral all humans need in very small (trace) amounts just to stay alive. Copper is found in every bodily tissue. Just look at all the things it does for us:
- Helps the body's ability to manufacture red blood cells and support nerve cells and the immune system
- Aids the formation of collagen and elastin
- Absorbs iron
- Needed for energy production
Inside the body, we find the most copper in the liver, brain, heart, kidneys, and skeletal muscle. Although it is vital to good health, it's important not to ingest too much or too little.
In the brain, copper is important for normal development. Both copper deficiency – having too little – as well as excess copper – having too much – can seriously impair brain functions.
How much copper is enough? The recommended daily allowance (RDA) is around 900 micrograms (mcg) a day for adolescents and adults. The upper limit for adults aged 19 years and above is 10,000 mcg, or 10 milligrams (mg) a day. An intake above this level could be toxic.
Having a low level of copper in the body is a rare medical condition so supplements aren't recommended unless testing reveals an actual deficiency exists. Always consult with a physician before adding copper to your diet.
Copper imbalances have been linked to Alzheimer's disease.
Copper deficiencies may show up as Menkes disease, a medical disorder "characterized by sparse, kinky hair; failure to thrive; and progressive deterioration of the nervous system" and "weak muscle tone (hypotonia), sagging facial features, seizures, developmental delay, and intellectual disability."
Low levels of copper can lead to a condition called neutropenia, when the body doesn't have enough white blood cells (neutrophils) to fight off infection. Low copper levels in the body have also been associated with high cholesterol and high blood pressure. One research group indicated that copper supplements may help people suffering from heart failure.
Severe copper deficiency has been linked to lower bone mineral density and, therefore, a higher risk of osteoporosis (weak or brittle bones). Without enough copper, the body is unable to replace damaged connective tissue or the collagen that constitutes bone scaffolding (structural support). As this condition progresses, the breakdown of tissues can result in joints that no longer work properly.
Too much copper can cause oxidative stress, a disturbance in the balance between the production of free radicals and antioxidant defenses.
There is a delicate line between ensuring the body has enough copper to synthesize copper-containing enzymes without crossing over into oxidative stress caused by high copper levels, which may play a role in producing tissue damage in patients with diabetes mellitus.
Arthritis is a rheumatic condition with aching pain, stiffness, and swelling in and around one or more joints in the body. It usually afflicts the same joints on both sides of the body. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is "a long-term, progressive, and disabling autoimmune disease."
Nobody knows what makes a healthy immune malfunction. We do know that RA makes the immune system's antibodies attack the smooth lining of a joint (synovium), producing pain and inflammation. Inflammation causes the synovium to get thicker. Left untreated, this can penetrate and destroy the connective cartilage which protects and cushions the ends of our bones.
Did you know that copper was the first metal humans ever used? Jewelry, tools, containers, utensils, and weapons made around 5,000 B.C. have been discovered in the Middle East.
It seems the ancients knew that copper kills or inhibits the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms. One of the oldest books in existence today is the "Edwin Smith Papyrus" – papyrus being a type of paper common in ancient Egypt and surrounding areas. Experts reckon that this text was written between 2600 B.C. and 2200 B.C. The author documented using copper to sterilize chest wounds and drinking water.
People like my pal Mike who sports a copper bracelet believe firmly that small amounts of copper rub off the jewelry onto – and into – the skin. Once in the bloodstream, the copper travels to damaged joints where it helps regrow cartilage, restoring painless functionality.
Some folks store water in a copper container overnight to accumulate copper traces and then drink it to achieve the same effect as wearing it against the skin.
"The way copper helps reduce joint pain is not fully understood," wrote Dr. Sarah Brewer. However, one scientific study tested 240 people with rheumatoid arthritis. Subjects who wore copper bracelets "had a statistically significant improvement compared with those wearing a placebo. Each copper bracelet lost an average 13mg of copper during the trial."
Just remember to proceed with caution where copper intake is concerned. If you notice any negative side effects from adding this essential trace element to your diet or lifestyle, ease up and consult a professional healthcare provider.

THOMASVILLE, N.C. — A fresh waffle cone from Main Street Cone and Coffee on West Main Street in Thomasville.
It's a delicacy from one of three downtown businesses that had their grand opening over the weekend.
"I know that people want to come and spend time in downtown Thomasville so we're proving them with food coffee and deserts," said JJ Ring, owner of Main Street Cone and Coffee.
Ring Also owns JJ's Deli, the two shops are connected to the Thomasville Antique Emporium.
"They definitely feed one another, no pun intended," said Ring.
The emporium also draws tourists in from all over.
"Well I usually find something that I like and I buy it, so I just keep coming back," Eddie Goins said.
Goins is from McLeansville and goes antique shopping at the emporium monthly. Getting a glimpse of the town and it's growth for the past 30 years.
"It's pretty laid back, it's not hustle and bustle like a lot of the big cities, Greensboro for instance, and I like slow and calm and easy," he said.
Some even come from across the border.
"Thomasville emporium has been the staple of our downtown community and we actually had folks from Canada that were here they wanted to see the emporium," said Jarrod Dunbar, the Thomasville tourism director.
One more business is coming to Main Street — a home décor store called Scarlett Creek.
The tourism director hopes the new boutiques and eateries will continue to bring people to town.
They gauge tourism numbers by the occupancy tax collected from hotel stays.
"That means more people are staying in our hotels but then his gives us an opportunity to market and pitch Thomasville even more," Dunbar said.
This has been a record-breaking year and the hope is new businesses and more events will add to it.
"The parking lots and parking spaces are already starting to fill up on the weekends. I think it's going to continue to grow but still give you that small town feeling of people getting out shopping supporting local," Ring said.

"My mother pitied me, yet she did not allow me to come near her neighborhood."
"I cried buckets over the miserable reality I was facing, in front of a doctor I'd never met before."
Young unwed mothers Ka Young Jo and Kye Eun Lee openly and bravely shared their stories with the audience at the Human Library of a session hosted by the Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens at the JCI Asia-Pacific Conference 2019 on June 19th.
On the topic of "Empowering Unwed Mothers in Korea," the Centre co-organized the forum with Intree, an unwed mothers' club in Korea, and the Seoul Young Leaders Club of Rotary. The session aimed to address existing social stigma as well as societal and political challenges faced by unwed mothers in Korean society.
Introduced by President Choi HyungSuk of Intree, Secretary General Arrey Obenson of JCI, who also serves as a Board member of the Centre, and BKMC CEO Monika Froehler welcomed the participants, emphasizing on the importance of empowering women through cooperation.
"What would you like your child to see in the future?" asked Froehler to the gathered audience, answering her own question that she would like to show her child a society that "does not stigmatize unwed mothers anymore" when she visits the country again.
Chairperson Hyekyung Lee of the Korea Foundation for Women expressed her appreciation when giving a congratulatory remark:
"It is delightful that the Centre has selected the topic of the issues of unwed mothers. The Ban Ki-moon Centre's engagement with JCI, Intree and SYLC makes a huge impact," said Lee.
The first section entitled 'Human Library' was moderated by MC Myoung Ryoon Kim, a women's right activist, who facilitated heartfelt conversation with two young unwed mothers. For the second section, representatives from academic, private and public sectors gave presentations on the best-practice examples of supports for unwed mothers and discussed areas to improve in the Korean government's policies towards them:
- Heekyung Jo Min, Executive Vice President & Head of CSR, CJ CheilJedang
- Hyeyoung Kim, CEO of Korean Institute for Healthy Family (KIHF)
- In Gyun Baek, Executive Director of Business Administration Division, KDB Bank
- Jung Hyeun Sung, Professor of Social Welfare, Hyupsung University
- Lisa Kuzunishi, Special Researcher, Rikkyo University
- Simone Eun Mi, Adoption Human Right's Activist
Professor Sung talked about challenges and stigma that Korean unwed mothers face daily, stressing that providing them with psychological supports needed for each phase of pregnancy, childbirth, and child-rearing is also important. Dr. Kuzunish suggested residence as a solution to social issues, using the cases of single-parent families in Japan. The "Hello Dream" project of the CJ Welfare Foundation as well as the Triangle project of the KDB Welfare Foundation were introduced to the unwed mothers who were attending the session.
KIHF CEO Kim presented the current policies on single mothers and their children and the integrated framework. Simone Eun Mi shared that she was born to a Korean mother, who later became a single mother, and then was sent for an adoption to the Netherlands by her father. She shared perspectives of the overseas adoptees born to a single mother in Korea.
"[Some] society sees the unwed mothers as problems. For me, I see them as solutions," said
At the end of the session, as a women's right advocate, JCI Youth Peace Ambassador, UN Youth Champion, and a singer-songwriter, Tennille Amor also delivered a message on the importance of making the voices of women and girls heard and performed two meaningful songs that she wrote: "Bad Name" and "I am a Girl."

Swiss chard is a plant I love to have in the vegetable patch. It's easy to grow and, with stems in a range of colours, looks good too. And if that's not enough, I've only ever seen it sold in expensive bunches at farm shops and markets, so I feel like I'm saving money by growing it myself.
I grew the seed mix 'Jacob's coat' this year – a mixture of red, yellow and white stems. The white stemmed varieties are supposed to be the hardiest, and they've certainly done best over the summer. These are the plants that are still doing well now, the red and yellow veined leaves are much smaller and the plants have tended to bolt earlier in the year.
Now that the leaves are so big, they really need cooking – not for long, just enough to soften them a little. Here's a way to use some of those big, but still tasty, leaves. It's a dish that can be used as a warm salad or vegetable side dish, but it also makes a good lunch. And adding some feta and a glass of red wine would bring it into the league of a tasty autumn supper. The chard is combined with sweet pomegranate syrup, spicy cumin seeds and zingy fresh herbs, and the whole lot stirred through some warm couscous.
I'm linking this to November's One Ingredient challenge, and hoping that using pomegranate syrup qualifies it for inclusion. The challenge is hosted by Nazima at Franglais Kitchen and Laura at How to Cook Good Food. If you want to check out the other recipes in this month's challenge, or fancy joining in with a recipe of your own, all the information you need is over at How to Cook Good Food.
Couscous with Swiss chard & herbs
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp cumin seeds, crushed
a large bunch of Swiss chard, washed and drained
150g couscous
200ml vegetable stock
2 tbsp pomegranate syrup
a good handful of fresh flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp mint leaves, finely chopped
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until it starts to soften.
While the onion is cooking, prepare the chard. Separate the thick stems from the leaves and chop everything up into small pieces – the leaf pieces can be larger than the stem pieces, because they will cook more quickly.
Add the garlic to the onion and cook for a further 2 minutes, then add the cumin seeds and stir to mix everything well.
Reduce the heat slightly and add the chard to the pan. Stir and leave to cook for 5 minutes or so, until the chard has wilted down and is tender.
Meanwhile, put the couscous into a heatproof bowl and pour the hot stock over. Stir and leave the liquid to be absorbed by the grains. Then 'fluff' up the couscous with a fork, so that the grains are separated.
When the chard is cooked, turn off the heat, add the pomegranate syrup and chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir the chard mixture through the couscous and serve.

On March 30th 2017, Airbus successfully flew Liebherr-Aerospace's 3D printed spoiler actuator valve block on a flight test A380. It is the first 3D printed primary flight control hydraulic component flown on an Airbus aircraft. The valve block made from titanium powder is part of Liebherr-Aerospace's spoiler actuator and provides primary flight control functions on board the A380.
Liebherr-Aerospace developed the 3D printed hydraulic component in close cooperation with Airbus and the Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany. The first flight testing of a 3D printed primary flight control hydraulic component shows that Liebherr-Aerospace and Airbus are pioneering the way aircraft systems will be developed and manufactured in the future. Their continuous investment and research into 3D printing now clearly yields fruit.
Liebherr-Aerospace & Transportation SAS is already working on the next generation of 3D printed hydraulic and electro-mechanic components such as a highly integrated rudder actuator.

|Me and my two best boys - baby Dane (my awesome nephew) and baby Reuben (my 4-year-old Shih poo)
Makes 4 Servings
Adapted from What's Cookin' Chicago
Nutritional Information: 358 calories, 44 carbs, 5 fat grams and 35 protein grams.
I thought it had a great flavor, and loved the parsley with lemon taste, and that little bit of cream went a long way, too. I think it's a great fall dish and of course anything with rice is a win for me. My recommendations would be to make sure the chicken is more shredded then diced, use fresh lemon juice, and make sure you cook the onions and carrots to where they're soft not crunchy (which is why i'm a fan of matchstick carrots - easier to cook!). Check out the recipe on Healthified Kitchen!
|A bite - yum!
Thursday was just a fun, family day. Lots of food, a long game of spades, 2 glasses of pinot noir, blessings, beautiful weather, outdoor fireplace, laughs - a great Thanksgiving day. I made my slowcooker mac & cheese, and everyone made awesome dishes from brussels sprouts with bacon to squash casserole. We also had several desserts to enjoy - mine & Austin's snickers pie, the Martin's pecan pie, and my mom's awesome cream cheese brownies. AWESOME day, pics coming tomorrow when I download (can you tell my card reader is acting up?! so annoying!)
Today has been chill - slept in to 8, had my mom's yummy breakfast burritos, said bye to E as he headed to Auburn for the Iron Bowl, then said bye to my sis/Zach, Dane, and later to my mom. Then there were 5. Me, Austin's dad and his brother Tyler headed to the gym where I did it again - ran 3 miles straight at 6.3 mph. Good stuff! Did the 32 minutes again for 3 miles running and 1/4 mile walking. Then I did some circuit stuff with the boys - bunny hops, dips, boxing, ropes, etc. Then back to the house for a quick arugula salad before shower time, pasta and now settling in to the LSU vs. AL game!
Q: How was your Thanksgiving? What was your biggest indulgence? Mine was definitely cream cheese brownies.... I'm SO going to be up when I weigh myself Monday.
Q: Were you able to get in a workout or 2? I worked out Monday (spin + 1-mile run + triceps + shoulders), Wednesday (3-mile run + chest + triceps), and today (3-mile run + circuits). So tomorrow it looks like I need to do legs, abs and back - random. :)

Nama NI loan sale: PAC criticises 'failure' to remove Frank Cushnahan
The failure to remove Frank Cushnahan from Nama's Northern Ireland advisory board was "a failure of corporate governance", a report has concluded.
The report, which examines the sale of Nama's Northern Ireland portfolio, was carried out by the Irish Parliament's Public Accounts Committee (PAC)
Mr Cushnahan, a Belfast businessman, was on the board from 2010 until 2013.
He was a financial adviser to seven different Nama debtors, an interest he disclosed at the time as required.
- The key figures in Nama's NI property loan sale
- Timeline of Nama's NI property portfolio deal
- Nama NI deal jargon buster
However, the PAC said the he should have been removed from the board when those interests were disclosed.
'Seriously deficient'
That goes further than an earlier report by the Irish Auditor General.
It said Nama should "have formally considered" whether Mr Cushnahan's involvement in discussion of its Northern Ireland strategy was consistent with his involvement as a financial adviser to debtors.
Nama, an Irish state agency, was established in 2009 to take control of billions of euros of bad property loans which were damaging the Irish banks.
It sold its entire Northern Ireland portfolio to Cerberus, a US investment fund, for £1.24bn in 2014.
The PAC has concluded that the sales process, which lead to a loss of £162m, was "seriously deficient" and Nama had been unable to show it got value for money for the state.
It said that key elements of the sale were influenced by one of the bidders, US fund Pimco.
The report also finds it was not "procedurally appropriate" for the Irish Minister for Finance, Michael Noonan, to meet with Cerberus, as it could have given the perception of preferential treatment.
This conclusion was disputed by committee members from Mr Noonan's Fine Gael party.
Mr Cushnahan has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to the deal.

San Francisco psychedelic/shoegazing/garage/beach-pop quintet Young Prisms are preparing for the January 18 release of their debut full-length Friends For Now on Kanine Records who have described the Young Prisms' sound as "this music will make you want to drop acid and become a recluse. Or it will make you even less excited to work your shitty day job. Or it will make you jump up and down in a dark crowded room while your eardrums bleed. Or it will make you feel something secret like happiness, minus any sentimental whimsicality. Or it will make you want to read Sarte, or graphic comic books, or maybe Hunter Thompson. And in one hundred years when people want to know what it felt like to be young on the West Coast in the early new millennium, they might just put on this record, by these rising kings (and queen) of Psychedelic Slackerdom."
The single "These Days" was released as a 7″ split with Mathemagic on Atelier Ciseaux.

Copper traded limit down for the third time in a week in Shanghai. For those who don't work on a futures exchange, this means prices crashed 5 percent and trading was suspended because the Chinese don't want it to fall anymore.
Copper is down 9 percent over the last month. Yes, the economy in China is slowing down and it buys less of it, but the real reason is another: Chinese traders' propensity to game the system to get something for nothing to the tune of $500 billion, using copper as a conduit.
Why Copper?
In order to understand why people use copper to funnel dollars into China and profit from it, we have to look at interest rates, the Chinese yuan, and capital controls.
Chinese and foreigners alike have two large incentives to change dollars into yuan. The first is the interest rate differential. The risk-free rate on short-term deposits in the United States is near zero percent. In China it's about 5 percent, so if you are Chinese and you have dollars, you make more money investing them in China.
The second reason is the 27 percent appreciation of the yuan against the dollar since 2005. So on top of a positive interest rate spread, you make money on the exchange rate too.
There is only one problem, and that's where copper comes in. Chinese companies—or foreigners—cannot just exchange dollars for yuan because of capital controls imposed by the People's Bank of China (PBOC).
So Chinese companies devised a clever way to use copper and other commodities to conduct the so-called carry trade.
A Chinese company would use a foreign company and banks (mostly based in Hong Kong) as well as its own foreign subsidiary to trade paper warrants and letters of credit back and forth. These papers have a claim on the copper, which is usually stashed in a warehouse in a Chinese port (for example, not yet officially imported) or in transit to China.
So the Chinese company could effectively short dollars to invest in higher yielding yuan assets. The banks would make their fees on the transaction services and the offshore trader would buy the copper at a discount to market.
Because the copper never moves, the transaction can be repeated up to 30 times within a typical six months period.
Yuan Reversal
This carry trade worked so well over the years, everybody started doing it. Because the issuance of warrants and letters of credit increases total credit, it also contributed to the rise in the Chinese shadow banking system. This is something the PBOC wasn't too happy about because it can't control it.
So in order to stop hot money inflows into China and to stop the carry trade, the PBOC did something that most people didn't anticipate: it devalued the yuan by almost 1 percent in one week ending Feb. 25.
This is nothing compared to the moves in the euro or the yen, but traders thought the PBOC was serious and the first few hands quickly started folding. If the yuan keeps dropping against the dollar, speculators stand to lose money on their yuan deposits, so they started to sell their copper positions to exit the trade.
As happens normally with the carry trade, liquidations and the drop in the price of copper led to margin calls for other speculators, which in turn have to liquidate their holdings. This cycle will continue until either the PBOC sends a different signal to the market and stops devaluing the yuan, or until only commercial users of copper are left.

This chapter will explain some important issues you have to deal with.
A several engines are build with the drivers stand at the right side of the footplate, even as on some loco's like the King Class. Now for the European mainland this is not really an issue because some countries drive at the right side like the Netherland, Germany and Austria. Though the the majority drives left while the road traffic is right handed. Countries such as France, Belgium Spain trains drives left handed.
Right handed drivers side:
The blind spot for drivers at the right hand is tremendous. It is hard to see at the left in order to read the signals properly. The driver has often to move from the right to the left to scout the track when the fireman was shovelling.
Reading signalling is part of the run you have to deal with. When you are running in different countries within TS2015. It is necessary to know the country restricted signal system in order to run properly and safe. The main target of signalling is to avoid collisions and accidents.

Mobile ad-network InMobi has released its Super Bowl XLVI Mobile Consumption Survey showing that, not surprisingly, mobile engagement was high during one of the most important advertising events of the year.
According to the survey, nearly 40% of respondents used mobile devices in response to TV ads and 45% estimated that they spent 30 minutes or more on their mobile devices during the game. Interestingly, the survey showed that almost twice as many respondents used their mobile devices during the first half of the game compared to the second half – a powerful take-away for advertisers indeed.
"Mobile is an amazing channel for reaching consumers when they are in a lean-back entertainment-oriented mindset," explained Anne Frisbie, Vice President and Managing Director, North America, for InMobi. "Savvy advertisers will allocate more dollars to mobile advertising, either in conjunction with TV ads or through mobile-only advertising campaigns during similar sporting events and key holiday weekends throughout the year." Other takeaways from the survey include:
- 39% used their mobile device in response to a TV commercial during the game by doing one or more of the following: discussing commercials, getting more information about an advertised product, or watching TV ads again.
- 30% reported using their mobile devices most during commercials.
- 27% downloaded a Super Bowl app.

Blame Wall Street, Not China, for Job Losses
Blame Wall Street, Not China, for Job Losses
By Jan Ting
As the recession continues, the hunt for a scapegoat intensifies.No one in Washington wants to hold Wall Street accountable for its mega-profits from unregulated credit default swaps, packaged subprime liar loans, and incompetent credit ratings.Despite the resulting housing, banking and market collapse, and continuing foreclosure crisis, it's still business, profits, and bonuses as usual on Wall Street.None of those who got super-rich from the bubble economy is in prison or handcuffs.
With the 2012 national elections on the horizon, politicians want to position themselves as doing something about the lack of jobs resulting from the economic recession.Because of political gridlock, they are unable to agree on a jobs bill or anything else.But they have to do something, or at least make voters think they're doing something.
So this week the U.S. Senate voted 79-19 to move forward legislation the senators hope will result in tariffs on Chinese imports to punish China for keeping its currency artificially depressed, or in other words for charging the U.S. too few dollars in exchange for goods imported from China.
Why is the Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act a bad and potentially dangerous policy for the U.S.?Let me count the ways:
1. At best it will raise costs to U.S. consumers, not only for Chinese imports, but also for other products that become competitive in the market burdened with import tariffs.
2. It won't cause China to change its monetary policy of maintaining a stable currency, which is central to its economic development strategy.China has experienced rapid monetary inflation in the past, and never wants to risk its recurrence again.
3. It won't create U.S. jobs.At best it may accelerate the shift of some jobs from China to other countries like India, Vietnam, and Malaysia with growing ability to manufacture at low cost to worldwide quality standards.
4. U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports will invite Chinese retaliation, not only against U.S. exports, but also in many other areas where the U.S. depends on Chinese cooperation, like combating the piracy of U.S. intellectual property, and trying to negotiate controls on North Korea's nuclear weapons.
5. At worst, a new tariff statute may set off a trade war which triggers a worldwide economic depression, as the 1930 Smoot-Hawley tariff act did prior to the Great Depression.A worldwide depression causes people to lose faith in democracy and turn to authoritarian leaders and political parties, and that leads to international conflict and war.
If our politicians were honest, they would tell unemployed voters that their jobs were lost as the result of greed and fraud on Wall Street, which caused the continuing economic recession.And they would tell them that because of automation, new technology, and new competition from China and other developing economies, many of those jobs are never coming back regardless of what we do.
Future job growth in the U.S. will depend on constant innovation, to produce new things faster, with higher quality, and more efficiently than can be done in other countries.There's no logical reason why U.S. workers should be paid more, or have a higher living standard, than workers in China, India, or any other country, unless we can supply the world with a constant stream of new innovations that can't be produced as efficiently anywhere else.
To do that we need trained and educated workers who understand science, technology, and engineering.Our politicians should be discussing how to train and educate that work force for America's long-term benefit, rather than setting off a trade war in an effort to get themselves re-elected.

On our last trip to Barnard Castle in September, I had a few new beers and a couple I had had before but I will cover them all here.
Black Sheep, Baa Baa from England
4.0% gold in colour with a poor head, it was just like all new beers in this country, gold, hoppy and average. I used the older photo here but I did have it again but by accident.
Grey Hawk, Pippin from England
3.9% gold in colour with a poor head, not much aroma and a bitter hop taste.
Pt. Multi Bintang, Bintang Bir Pilsener from Indonesia
4.7% gold colour with a very thin head, slight malt aroma and taste, it was ok in the heat of Bali and still not bad here at home.
Sonnet 43, Aurora from England
4.4% gold in colour with a nice head, citrus aroma, it also has a citrus taste.
Consett, White Hot from England
4.0% gold colour with a good head, not much aroma but a mild hoppy lager taste. Another old one that I have had before.
Heineken Italia, Ichnusa from Italy (Sardinia)
4.7% pail gold with a nice head, not much aroma and a light lager taste. Had this one in the Italian.

the 2nd mate, who was not a good walker, and two men started down the coast afoot as the ice was crowded so hard against eh shore that they could not use the boat they had saved. At the river Cogrna, 10 of the men turned back discouraged to Cape Smith to wait the arrival of some vessel after the ice should leave rather than attempt to ford the river. The rest of the party were directed by a native 20 miles back where it was not very wide or deep, where they crossed, stripping themselves and carrying their clothes on their heads so as to have them dry after crossing. Both parties suffered from hunger as well as from cold and fatigue, for they had to depend on the natives who good naturedly gave them seal meat, none to carry away however, and they were forced to eat roots and grasses, sedge, etc. for several days. At Pt. Beltcher they found a traveling party of Eskimos that after the Shaman had duly consulted the spirits, consented to take them to the nearest ship below Icy Cape in their canoe. The canoe was driven by dogs attached by a long thong of walrus hide, a narrow strip of water having appeared by this time along the edge of the pack. For this service, which required 4 days, the Eskimos exacted 2 rifles and a lot of tobacco. They were not sure whether they

Institutional Disrespect: The Structural Marginalisation of Refugee Migrants in Australia
Free Public Lecture
Room 608, Level 6
Melbourne Law School
185 Pelham Street
More information
Whose responsibility is it to address the disrespect felt by immigrants and other marginalised groups in their dealings with government institutions? In this seminar Ibi Losoncz, the author of Institutional Disrespect, argues that when disrespect comes in the forms of injustice or institutional mistreatment or is systemic in governance arrangements, the responsibility lies not with individuals but with the state, its institutions and its appointed bureaucrats.
Combining theoretical analysis of institutional engagement through the lens of respect with examples of the resettlement experiences of South Sudanese Australians, the seminar examines how blocked pathways to develop positive self-identities and meaningful lives can lead to a breakdown of social bonds between immigrants and social institutions.

Maybe everyone was too busy listening out for headline fodder on Brexit or anti-Semitism, but it went relatively unreported that when Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell addressed the Scottish Labour Party's conference in Dundee last weekend, they spelled out a vision for a "Green Industrial Revolution" – situating climate change firmly as a class issue.
Closing the first day of conference, Corbyn told the Dundee audience: "It's working class communities that suffer the worst pollution and the worst air quality. It's working class people who will lose their jobs as resources run dry. And it is working class people who will be left behind as the rich escape rising sea levels."
Despite its origins as a British idea, the US conversation around a Green New Deal – now firmly associated with everyone's favourite Democratic Congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – has left many on this side of the Atlantic wondering what a UK version might look like. Could Corbyn's rhetorical shift to a "Green Industrial Revolution" signal an answer?
Like the Green New Deal, Labour's green policies bring together straightforward climate measures – reduction of net emissions, a switch to renewable energy – with an emphasis on industry and jobs, and a transition which is fair and socially just. While Corbyn used his speech to reassert these commitments, McDonnell followed up the next day with promises of 50,000 new well-paid, unionised jobs in Scotland's renewables sector and a call for the nationalisation of energy.
But as in the US, it might be the framing rather than the substance of these policies which is key to capturing the imagination of the public – and the Green Industrial Revolution has a ring to it.
It makes sense that it was Scotland, and indeed Dundee, which set the stage for this new branding. Once famously known for jute, jam and journalism, the city – which also historically enjoyed a thriving shipbuilding industry – suffered profound post-industrial decline and was better known by the 1980s for widespread poverty and derelict mills. As in many UK counterparts, the first industrial revolution brought prosperity and progress, only for it to crumble away, gutting communities for generations to come.
Dundee is something of a success story, with investment and growth in the creative and scientific industries revitalising the city and providing employment opportunities. But for those in communities across the UK still struggling to find an identity – or make a life – post-industry, the language of a new industrial revolution could be appealing.
While calling back to the role of the first in creating the climate crisis we now face, a Green Industrial Revolution firmly makes the working class case for tackling climate change. It's an issue which has sometimes struggled to resonate with people's everyday lives – an emphasis on high-quality employment can surely only help to make the connection.
And while Corbyn and McDonnell's speeches spent little time on the constitutional dramas of Brexit, their Green Industrial Revolution gets right to the heart of the issue. If large swathes of the Brexit vote came from working class post-industrial communities frustrated by austerity and degeneration, the green aspect of a new industrial revolution might just be a bonus.
Perhaps most of all, the language of a Green Industrial Revolution communicates the scale of the climate crisis and the action needed to counter it in a way we have so far struggled to quantify. It became clear when pupils across the UK first threatened to strike over climate change that there was a disconnect between those who see it as the biggest threat to their future and the adult generation they accused of not caring enough and not acting quickly enough. Maybe that same disconnect is the reason Corbyn's Green Industrial Revolution made few headlines following the Dundee conference.
But if Labour can pull it off, truly putting working class communities at the heart of a climate change solution – and ensuring the rest of their manifesto follows suit – a Green Industrial Revolution could be one of the most exciting things to come out of Dundee since the jute mills closed their doors.

In all honesty it felt like shit.
I have a biological mum, I have a biological sister. I know them, they know me. But I don't truly know them and they truly do not know me.
I grew up my whole life without a motherly figure, without a sisterly figure. It's one of the hardest challenges I face even to this day.
At the age of 5 I remember my Dad struggling to tie my hair.
At the age of 8 I remember my first crush. I had a step sister who I told everything. She was like my real sister. She still is to this day. But there is nothing like wanting to tell your big sister things like this.
At the age of 10 I remember the first time we moved far away from my mum and sister. I remember being confused and yearning for them. I remember wanting a motherly hug, or a sisterly talk. I remember waking up in the middle of the night in Porirua and wondering how they were.
At the age of 11 I remember my first day of being a "sister-mum". My brother and I were split from both our parents. Crying. I told him everything would be ok. I remember feeling protective.
At the age of 12 I remember how uncomfortable it was going through puberty. It was the worst experience.
At age of 13 I remember having my first kiss. I had no idea back then. I hadn't been taught. Are we supposed to be taught?
At age of 14 I fell in love and I never even knew what it was.
At age of 15 my father left and my sister mum kicked in again. I had no idea how to take care of a home, let alone myself and my brother. I remember crying myself to sleep almost every night.
At age of 19 I still struggle with the challenges of being a woman.
Now that I think of it. I had all the role models anyone could ever ask for. My Aunty Shirleanne showed me how to be a sister. My Grandmother taught me how to protect myself as a woman. My cousins taught me how to dress like a lady. My step sisters showed me what a sister was. My step mum gave me love. My Aunties on the Coast showed me a mother I will forever be grateful for.
My mum is an amazing woman. My mum just isn't the type of mum I ever want to be. But I love her and thank her everyday for making me who I am.
Love and light to you all. My sisters holding it down! Xox.

Ex-BBNaija housemate, Cynthia Nwadiora a.k.a Cee-C launched her new fitness clothing line, Cegar on Sunday, 19th May, 2019. It's called the 'Cegar clothing line', and the event had as its host, Uti Nwachukwu. Meanwhile, co-BBNaija housemate, Vandora was the red carpet host. Others present at the Cegar launch were Nina Ivy and Ahneeka.
Being the most aggressive housemate, Cee-c is however great for a boss lady, and she has proven her determination to succeed in all spheres of life with everything she has achieved so far.
The collection features biker shorts, hoodies, tights, sports bras and more fitness wears. What inspired Cee-c was her love for fitness and the difficulty to find fitness wears for herself. She also got inspiration from other designers to make this collection a huge success. Cee-c is definitely going to make big bucks with this new Cegar clothing line.
Huge congratulations to Cee-c!

It's been a while since I have last posted, or frequented the blogosphere for that matter. I had pretty much limited myself to only blogging about my races, and sometimes about my running in between, because it was taking more time than I wanted to spend on it. Add that to the bad weather, smoke and pulled muscle in July, then I have most certainly not been active. In fact, I have only ran a combined 48 miles for last month and this month (30 last, 18 this).
It is amazing how long it takes to get yourself in to shape to be able to run a marathon and half marathon, to improve your pace and run comfortably. What is even more amazing is how quick you lose the endurance and fitness. For me, even though I have run intermittently, I feel as though I have returned to my pre 2007 fitness and am running an uphill battle again.
So I have had to not run the Headlands 50k coming up this weekend, even though I know I could finish it. It just wouldn't be fun at all, and would probably be painful. So I am running a crash course training. I ran earlier this week in the the trails around Lexington Dam for 8 miles. It has been a while since I have ran hills, and it showed. It took me 1hr31m to finish, something that had previously taken around 1hr20m. So on paper it looks slower, but not too bad, but in reality it felt a lot worse. Very out of shape. But it felt great none the less.
So instead of the trail 50k this weekend, I have opted for a flat half marathon in Mountain View. I've ran this before and it took me 1hr50m, my previous best for a stand alone half (with only the first half of the Napa Valley Marathon coming in faster). I am certainly not expecting to set a PR, which would also be a Course Record (CR). What I am intending on doing is giving my legs a crash test and shock them into condition. Why? Because I've got the Stevens Creek 50k coming up on September 7th, one that I most certainly will run since this 50k was my very first 50k I ever ran last year. I would be doing myself a disservice if I did not return to the scene where my virgin trail ultramarathon legs were broken in.
Hopefully this time I will not get lost for an hour and find myself wandering around steep hills wondering where I went wrong.
I love trials by fire. I did this with my first marathon in 2006, and with my first 50k in 2007, as well as my first triathlon in 2007 (with a mountain bike). Should be fun.
