CINCINNATI--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT II, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "our," or "us"), a publicly registered, non-traded real estate investment trust ("REIT") focused on the acquisition and management of well-occupied grocery-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers, today announced its operating results for the year ended December 31, 2016.
"We are pleased with our performance in 2016, which focused on the acquisition of additional high-quality grocery-anchored shopping centers and increasing occupancy in our existing portfolio. In 2017, we will continue to build the portfolio through property acquisitions and utilize our operating platform to drive organic growth"
Key highlights for the year ended December 31, 2016, include:
- Net loss of $5.5 million during 2016, improved by $1.2 million over 2015
- Same-Center NOI growth of 8.1%
- Generated FFO of $48.4 million during 2016, compared to $19.1 million during 2015
- Entered into a joint venture with TPG Capital in 2016
- Addition of a $370 million unsecured term loan facility
- Portfolio of 74 Properties, 9.3 million square feet, across 22 States
"We are pleased with our performance in 2016, which focused on the acquisition of additional high-quality grocery-anchored shopping centers and increasing occupancy in our existing portfolio. In 2017, we will continue to build the portfolio through property acquisitions and utilize our operating platform to drive organic growth," said Jeff Edison, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company generated a net loss of $5.5 million, compared to a net loss of $6.7 million for the comparable 2015 period. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company generated modified funds from operations ("MFFO") of $52.4 million, compared to MFFO of $28.5 million for the comparable 2015 period. This growth was primarily the result of additional property acquisitions. During 2016, we acquired 23 properties.
Operating Results
- For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company generated revenues of $129.8 million, more than twice the 2015 revenue of $60.4 million. Growth in revenues is primarily related to acquisitions made throughout 2015 and 2016.
- For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company generated a net loss of $5.5 million compared to a net loss of $6.7 million for the comparable 2015 period. The improvement in results for the year ended December 31, 2016, was due to the increasing number of properties in the portfolio and their associated income, partially offset by cash asset management fees paid to the Company's advisor as a result of a change to the advisory fee structure as of January 1, 2016. Previously the asset management fee had been deferred via the issuance of Class B units in the Company's operating partnership. The fee is now paid 80% in cash and 20% in Class B units.
- For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company generated funds from operations ("FFO") of $48.4 million compared to FFO of $19.1 million for the comparable 2015 period. The growth in FFO was primarily the result of additional property acquisitions.
- For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company generated MFFO of $52.4 million compared to MFFO of $28.5 million for the comparable 2015 period. The growth in MFFO was primarily related to additional property acquisitions.
Portfolio Results
- For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company acquired 23 grocery-anchored shopping centers and additional real estate adjacent to a previously acquired center for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $506.5 million.
- As of December 31, 2016, the Company's portfolio consisted of 74 grocery-anchored properties, totaling approximately 9.3 million square feet and located in 22 states. Portfolio annualized base rent ("ABR") was $12.15 per leased square foot, compared to portfolio ABR of $11.63 per leased square foot a year ago. As of December 31, 2016, portfolio ABR per leased square foot for anchor and inline tenants was $9.04 and $19.34, respectively.
- The Company reported Same-Center Net Operating Income ("NOI") growth of 8.1% for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015. Same-Center NOI represents the NOI for the 20 properties that were owned and operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods. This positive growth was primarily due to a $0.22 increase in minimum rent per square foot, and an improvement in the tenant recovery income resulting from the combination of increases in real estate tax expense and our recovery rate.
- As of December 31, 2016, the Company reported leased portfolio occupancy of 94.6%, compared to 93.7% as of December 31, 2015.
- On March 22, 2016, the Company entered into a joint venture (the "Joint Venture") with an affiliate of TPG Real Estate, the real estate platform of leading global private investment firm TPG Capital, to acquire high-quality, value-added grocery-anchored shopping centers throughout the United States. The Joint Venture will invest up to $250 million of equity and plans to leverage this capital to achieve a $750 million acquisition target. The Joint Venture will focus on growing the platform through add-on acquisitions located in fundamentally strong markets that present attractive return potential through operational and capital improvements. The Company initially contributed six grocery-anchored shopping centers to the Joint Venture at inception. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Joint Venture acquired an additional five centers, bringing its property total to eleven.
- Subsequent to the end of the year, the Company acquired four properties totaling approximately 356,000 square feet for an aggregate purchase price of $86.5 million.
Capital Markets
- In June 2016, the Company entered into a first amendment to the existing credit agreement, providing additional term loan borrowing capacity of $370 million. The term loan facility (the "Term Loans") is comprised of two tranches, which have a maximum term of four years, or five years with extension options. Proceeds from the Term Loans were used to fund our acquisition activities. The Company's objective in entering into the Term Loans was to restore liquidity on its corporate revolver, which was used to fund acquisitions, and ladder its debt maturity profile.
- As of December 31, 2016, $188.2 million was available under the Company's $350 million revolving credit facility.
- In 2016, the Company entered into four interest rate swap agreements, including certain forward-starting interest rate swaps not yet in effect, to fix the LIBOR rate at a range of 0.7%-1.7% on $370 million of the Company's Term Loans.
- As of December 31, 2016, the Company's debt to total enterprise value was 33.5%. Debt to total enterprise value is calculated as net debt (total debt, excluding below-market debt adjustments and deferred financing costs, less cash and cash equivalents) as a percentage of enterprise value (equity value, calculated as total common shares outstanding multiplied by the estimated value per share of $22.50, plus net debt).
- The Company's debt had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.0% and a weighted-average maturity of 3.3 years. 70.9% of the Company's debt was fixed-rate debt, and effective January 2017, an additional $127 million of variable-rate debt was fixed at lower than 3% through an interest rate swap agreement. Including this debt subject to the interest rate swap, 94.7% of the Company's debt was fixed-rate debt.
- For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company paid gross distributions of approximately $75.1 million, including $38.3 million of distributions reinvested through the dividend reinvestment plan, for net cash distributions of $36.8 million.
- Cash flows from operations were $45.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, greater than our net cash distributions for that period.
Share Repurchase Program
- During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company repurchased $23.0 million of shares of common stock under its Share Repurchase Program ("SRP"). The cash available for repurchases on any particular date under the SRP is generally limited to the proceeds from the Company's dividend reinvestment plan during the preceding four fiscal quarters, less amounts already used for repurchases during the same time period.
Stockholder Update Call
- The Company will provide a stockholder update presentation on March 27, 2017, on its website at www.grocerycenterreit2.com. An additional press release with further details will follow.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Same-Center Net Operating Income
We present Same-Center NOI as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define NOI as total operating revenues less property operating expenses, real estate taxes, and non-cash revenue items. Same-Center NOI represents the NOI for the 20 properties that were wholly-owned and operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods. We believe that NOI and Same-Center NOI provide useful information to our investors about our financial and operating performance because each provides a performance measure of the revenues and expenses directly involved in owning and operating real estate assets and provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. Because Same-Center NOI excludes the change in NOI from properties acquired after December 31, 2014, it highlights operating trends such as occupancy levels, rental rates, and operating costs on properties that were operational for both comparable periods. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Same-Center NOI, and accordingly, our Same-Center NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.
Same-Center NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it does not reflect the operations of our entire portfolio, nor does it reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, acquisition expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, other income, or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties that could materially impact our results from operations.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
FFO is a non-GAAP performance financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We use FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") to be net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP and gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable real estate property (including deemed sales and settlements of pre-existing relationships), plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets and impairment charges, and after related adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and non-controlling interests. We believe that FFO is helpful to our investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because, when compared year to year, it reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which are not immediately apparent from net income.
Since the definition of FFO was promulgated by NAREIT, GAAP has expanded to include several new accounting pronouncements, such that management and many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of FFO alone to be insufficient. Accordingly, in addition to FFO, we use MFFO, which excludes from FFO the following items:
- acquisition fees and expenses;
- straight-line rent amounts, both income and expense;
- amortization of above- or below-market intangible lease assets and liabilities;
- amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments;
- gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt;
- gains or losses on the extinguishment of derivatives, except where the trading of such instruments is a fundamental attribute of our operations;
- gains or losses related to fair value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting;
- gains or losses related to consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting;
- adjustments related to the above items for unconsolidated entities in the application of equity accounting.
We believe that MFFO is helpful in assisting management and investors with the assessment of the sustainability of operating performance in future periods and, in particular, after our acquisition stage is complete, because MFFO excludes acquisition expenses that affect operations only in the period in which the property is acquired. Thus, MFFO provides helpful information relevant to evaluating our operating performance in periods in which there is no acquisition activity.
Many of the adjustments in arriving at MFFO are not applicable to us. Nevertheless, as explained below, management's evaluation of our operating performance may also exclude items considered in the calculation of MFFO based on the following economic considerations.
- Adjustments for straight-line rents and amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments—GAAP requires rental receipts and discounts and premiums on debt investments to be recognized using various systematic methodologies. This may result in income recognition that could be significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments and aligns results with management's analysis of operating performance. The adjustment to MFFO for straight-line rents, in particular, is made to reflect rent and lease payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis.
- Adjustments for amortization of above- or below-market intangible lease assets—Similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate-related assets that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangibles diminishes ratably over the lease term and should be recognized in revenue. Since real estate values and market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, and the intangible value is not adjusted to reflect these changes, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.
- Gains or losses related to fair value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting—This item relates to a fair value adjustment, which is based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions and specific performance of the holding, which may not be directly attributable to current operating performance. As these gains or losses relate to underlying long-term assets and liabilities, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information by focusing on the changes in core operating fundamentals rather than changes that may reflect anticipated, but unknown, gains or losses.
- Adjustment for gains or losses related to early extinguishment of derivatives and debt instruments—These adjustments are not related to continuing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods and to other real estate operators.
Neither FFO nor MFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations under GAAP, nor as an indication of our liquidity, nor is either of these measures indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to fund distributions. MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate our business plan in the manner currently contemplated.
Accordingly, FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements. FFO and MFFO should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than our net income or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our FFO and MFFO as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.
The following section presents our calculation of FFO and MFFO and provides additional information related to our operations. As a result of the timing of the commencement of our initial public offering and our active real estate operations, FFO and MFFO are not relevant to a discussion comparing operations for the periods presented. We expect revenues and expenses to increase in future periods as we acquire additional investments.

Q&A: Scott Anderson and Jack Fairweather
Monday, November 17 @ 7PM
Jack Fairweather, in conversation with
Scott Anderson.
THE GOOD WAR: Why We Couldn't Win the War or the Peace in Afghanistan
From an award-winning Middle East correspondent and war reporter, the definitive history of the war in Afghanistan
In its earliest days, the American-led war in Afghanistan appeared to be a triumph — a "good war" in comparison to the debacle in Iraq. It has since turned into one of the longest and most costly wars in U.S. history.
The story of how this good war went so bad may well turn out to be a defining tragedy of the 21st century — yet as acclaimed war correspondent Jack Fairweather ex-plains, it should also give us reason to hope.
In The Good War, Fairweather provides the first full narrative history of the war in Afghanistan, from the 2001 invasion to the 2014 withdrawal. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and months of reporting in Afghanistan, Fairweather traces the course of the conflict from its inception after 9/11 to the drawdown in 2014. In the process, he explores the righteous intentions and astound-ing hubris that caused the American strategy in Afghanistan to flounder, refuting the long-held notion that the war could have been won more troop and cash. Fairweather argues that only by accepting the limitations in Afghanistan — from the presence of the Taliban to the ubiquity of the opium trade to the country's unsuitability for rapid Western-style development — can Amer-ica help to restore peace in this shattered land.
A timely lesson in the perils of nation-building and a sobering reminder of the limits of Ameri-can power, The Good War leads readers from the White House situation room to American mili-tary outposts, from warlords' palaces to insurgents' dens, to explain how the U.S. and its allies might have salvaged the Afghan campaign — and how we must rethink other "good" wars in the future
"Fairweather's richly-narrated history of the conflict is a soft-spoken but scathing indictment of military tactics and lack of preparation." —Publishers Weekly
"A thorough, elegant reassessment of America's 'irresistible illusion.'" —Kirkus Reviews
"A remarkable account of the longest shooting war in American history. The Good War is the kind of book one would not ordinarily expect to see for decades, encyclopedic in sweep and yet rich with colorful detail. Jack Fairweather writes with respect but often damning insight. He seems to have digested everything written about the war, and to have talked with every player, open and clandestine. This timely, absorbing narrative captures the essence of an infuriating place, illustrating once again a seemingly unlearnable lesson: There are strict limits to what can be accomplished by force." —Mark Bowden, author of Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War
"It has been America's longest war, yet there is no real history of the conflict in Afghanistan. Now this war has finally found its chronicler. Jack Fairweather has reported deeply from the White House Situation Room to the deserts of Kandahar to tell a riveting story with an outsized cast of characters. It's a sweeping work of history written with great verve." —Peter Bergen, author of Manhunt: The Ten-Year Search for Bin Laden from 9/11 to Abbotta-bad
A former foreign correspondent for the Daily Telegraph and the Washington Post, Jack Fairweather won the British Press Award for his reporting on the Iraq invasion and is the author of A War of Choice. Fairweather is currently a Middle East editor and correspondent for Bloomberg News, and he lives in Istanbul with his wife and two daughters.
Scott Anderson is a war correspondent and novelist who has covered foreign conflicts on five continents over the past two decades. A contributing writer at the New York Times Magazine, his work has also appeared in Vanity Fair, Esquire, Harper's, Outside, Men's Journal and many other publications. Along with his journalism, he is the author of four non-fiction books, including The Man Who Tried to Save the World and, with his brother and fellow journalist Jon Lee Anderson, Inside The League and War Zones.
His first novel, Triage, was translated into eight languages, and his second novel, Moonlight Hotel was recently published by Doubleday.
A film inspired by his misadventures in Bosnia, in which he and several journalist friends were mistaken for a CIA hit squad, was made into The Hunting Party starring Richard Gere and Terrence Howard.
Scott is currently co-writing a screenplay with director Scott Elliott, under contract for Kennedy/Marshall Productions, based on his article, "Bringing It All Home," (New York Times Magazine, May 29, 2006) about a Pennsylvania National Guard unit returning home from a tour in Iraq. He has also been contracted to write three screenplays based on his books or articles.

Astronomy Debate
Astronomy Debate
By Sofie Howard
Mrs. Yokitis's astronomy/ meteorology class recently had a debate about the natural and human influences of global warming and climate change.
Each student chose a stance to represent:
anthropogenic (human) or natural.
Then students had to choose a topic to research in preparation for the debate.
Next students presented their research findings to the class.
On debate day, students were encouraged to dress professionally in order to earn extra points for their side.
During the debate, the subgroups from each side debated each other.
After each subgroup debated, the two sides gathered to prepare to a final statement.
The debate was judged by Mrs. Yokitis's former astronomy students.
During the debrief students discussed to what extent their own opinions were influenced by the debate.
"My views definitely changed after the debate.
I know feel that both anthropogenic and natural causes contribute to global warming," explained Dylan Immundo.

Curiosity gets a software update to 560 million kilometers
Curiosity got this weekend its first "patch" for your software, an operation performed remotely over 560 million kilometers to be completed today. A lesson for those upgrading their equipment problems here on Earth.
"We designed the mission from start to upgrade the software as we needed for different phases of the mission," said Ben Cichy's Jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA. "The version of flight software that has now Curiosity was really focused on making land the vehicle. That includes many capabilities that no longer need, "he explains.
The update will allow Curiosity move safely on the Martian surface, with the ability to check for obstacles in the path and identify potential risks, plotting a safe path for your journey. The new software will also improve the capabilities of the robotic arm.
NASA called the process a "brain transplant", which sounds quite as complex, although the organization says this was planned from the beginning of the mission. The operation is necessary because of limitations in the memory of Curiosity, which is about 4 GB available for storage. While there are phones with more memory – which does not have to land on Mars – the small size is that the piece had to pass rigorous tests to withstand radiation in space. In addition, Curiosity was designed and built 8 years ago and at that time was the best that was available.
Not for the first time you do a remote update of this type: Spirit and Opportunity had already received changes to update his 9 years on Mars. While downloading the update, the installation and testing, Curiosity can not do much, but once you finish this process the researchers hope to begin to recognize the Gale crater which is now parked.

KSSZ (93.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a talk radio format. Licensed to Fayette, Missouri, United States, the station serves the Columbia, Missouri, area. The station is currently owned by Zimmer Radio Group of Mid-Missouri.
The station was initially licensed to Boonville, Missouri, and featured a Soft Adult Contemporary format as "Lite FM 93.9." At the time, however, the station only broadcast with 6,000 watts. After upgrading to 25,000 watts, the station became known as "Lite 93.9" and "93.9 K-Lite" while still airing the same Soft Adult Contemporary format.
In 1996, the station adopted a Classic rock format, which was initially successful but a 1998 realignment of Zimmer Radio's Mid-Missouri stations sent much of the classic rock programming to co-owned KCMQ. At this time, the frequency became Adult Contemporary "Mix 93.9," still with the KLSC call letters.
Late in 1999, the station became "Kiss 93.9" and featured an oldies-heavy Soft Adult Contemporary format, adopting the KSSZ call letters. "Kiss 93.9" failed to gain traction in the market, largely due to a lack of promotion and the heavily-automated format, which utilized personalities recorded from Seattle, Washington.
In the weeks following September 11, 2001, the station broadcast an all-news format, largely featuring the audio from Fox News Channel. In October of that year "Kiss 93.9" briefly returned to the previous format before becoming "The Eagle 93.9" featuring a talk radio format. It has become the longest-lasting, most stable and most competitive format in the frequency's history.

Bounty from the garden this morning-one zebra zucchini.... one bowlful of sweet juicy grape tomatoes....
Friday, August 20, 2010
When the Golden Glows make their appearance in late summer, they remind me of a story my mother shared with me not so very long ago. When I was a small girl living on the Island I had the good fortune to have my Great Grandparent's reside in the house next door. Grammy Eva and Grampy Herbert would arrive in early Spring and stay on till Fall. I can still smell the aroma of Grammy's homemade molasses cookies baking and fondly recall running across the dirt road one summer morning, whereupon Grammy would slice me a piece of her homemade bread and toast it on top of her old fashioned cook stove. Isn't it amazing what memories we keep, either evoked by sight or smell. When Fall made it's appearance my great grandparents would once again return to their apartment in Portland. One day when my mother and I were together she happened to spy a patch of Golden Glow's and shared this story with me "When Grampy Herbert saw the Golden Glow's begin to open it was his own personal signal It was time to leave the Island and return once again to Portland". Now I have Golden Glows in my garden, a tribute to my great grandparent's and all the wonderful memories they left me with.

If you want to learn about the bicycle, you can visit here for all the best hybrid bikes for men. Besides it, I will tell you the story about the guy who has the hobby about bicycle.
Joe is a mighty hand bike tour guide stunned a decade, with the area of operation stretches from north to south, and then squeezed both Laos and Cambodia … The stories and experiences with his bike often cause listened blankly as a pleasant surprise. He did not want to write about themselves and their cars, but to be experienced when the dragon saw movement play "iron horse" is back with the young:
A New Game Starts
Today, cycling is a sport that is stylish. Those are the Giant, Trek, and Cannondale… colorful, diverse styles. Cycling is to enjoy the clear air of the dawn, rode to the lake and watching the ripples water light, and cycling to … watch together. There are hundreds of models, there are also thousands of people a reason to city cycling, of course, and play bike components are no longer limited to the athlete or tourist world as before.
In addition to the bike a little morning to start a new day, many young people consider bicycles as the main means of transportation, are loath to dynamic automobile or motorcycle. It's remarkable, whence easy when every day to go to work, go to school, hang out, see friends only by bike, in the summer the heat. On the board have had many "mirror" so remarkable.
The bicycle has a decent budget reduces spending by individuals, and contribute to clean air was too heavy pollution. Someone will think: Reducing emissions are the job of governments and the United Nations, their best lo stars ENDING? If everyone thought that way, future generations would be like? It is the very plausible talk of so many young people on some forums when it comes to playing bike problems.
Unlike line hardy bicycles plying the country's pre-reform period, today the bike on the road has blown a new life to urban life, both fresh and modern, just calming rhythm noisy life.
When the bike is not for the poor…
Tour guide, bankers, and employees of non-governmental organizations and foreign enterprises … are the first to participate given up playing bike was formed about five years ago, then spread to many other components of the youth, of all ages, occupations.
That is the road bike bearing the well-known brands, such as BMC cars – are produced joint venture between Switzerland and the US; Italian Cinelli and COLNAGO, healthy shape, in line with the flat and still can be used for athletes Rally.
Very different is the wheel, called MTB (Mountain bike), has a structure that is dedicated to providing mountain road, known as the Lit speed brand, Yeti, Intense, or Moots produced in the US, with a knack is the steep mountain roads that drive high or buffalo elephant drive … but quite expensive, it is not consistent with the majority of players today bikes.
This explains the appearance of the car pretty strong Trek, Giant and Cannondale have more affordable prices, by the provision of roads is not too difficult mountainous and rural areas, as consistent as walking in streets. Few people are willing to spend several hundred million to play bike, but most content with the cost about ten million.
Play bike both easy and difficult. Ease in place, if only to buy a car average class is almost anyone can do, but difficult for enthusiasts to pursue the medium requires a financial investment, just time consuming.
Ordinary people, it knows that a brand phosphate neck reputation to the tens of millions, as hard to believe that there are patterns in Vietnam bike that just present a few pieces, rare as that Rolls-Royce cars. Played vehicle must know about the accessories, and not just want to be there a right pair of pedals, the saddle … like that.
From this movement, the shopping centers, and the spare bike was born, with models and different activities, offering a time before purchasing a bicycle. Now your boss can store detailed advice to customers should use the car in any class.
And this also seems not different to play camera movement attracted young people each – have been involved in the car industry, the rivalries play toys and equipment will not stop. A lot of people cared and invested in his car with enough items, from flashlights to GPS, from leather bags mounted in the rear to gauge the speed … the items variable nature of cycling races pure sports become romantic journey
An American professional road racing cyclist. Serious, quiet, with loner tendencies. Enjoys solitude and tends to sit back and observe.

Ottawa -Jan 22,2014 The Bank of Canada today announced that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at 1 per cent. The Bank Rate is correspondingly 1 1/4 per cent and the deposit rate is 3/4 per cent.
Inflation in Canada has moved further below the 2 per cent target, owing largely to significant excess supply in the economy and heightened competition in the retail sector. The path for inflation is now expected to be lower than previously anticipated for most of the projection period. The Bank expects inflation to return to the 2 per cent target in about two years, as the effects of retail competition dissipate and excess capacity is absorbed.
Global growth is expected to strengthen over the next two years, rising from 2.9 per cent in 2013 to 3.4 per cent in 2014 and 3.7 per cent in 2015. The United States will lead this acceleration, aided by diminishing fiscal drag, accommodative monetary policy and stronger household balance sheets. The improving U.S. outlook is affecting global bond, equity, and currency markets. Growth in other regions is evolving largely as projected in the Bank's October Monetary Policy Report (MPR). Global trade growth plunged after 2011, but is poised to recover as global demand strengthens.

Trap book
this wiki
A method devised by the D'ni people that involved tampering with linking books and trap or imprison unwanted persons.
The procedure involved subtly altering key lines of text of a linking book, not altering itself but rather partially severing its connection. The changes needed are so slight that anyone unfamiliar would overlook them. The Gateway Image would look proper, however anyone who would use such book, would be permanently trapped in the dark void of the Link. However if someone else use the Book, they would switch places, thus freeing the former prisoner (but at the cost of trapping oneself).
Atrus discovered that technique during a hunting expedition through the ruins of D'ni City with Gehn. He found a formula but as he feared that Gehn would confiscate once more his discoveries, he decided to leave the document behind. Years later, however, wishing to find a way to safeguard the Myst Library from greedy explorers, he managed to recall most of the formula, and recovered it with little experimentation.[1]
In MystEdit
According to the Myst scenario, the Red and Blue Books are Trap Books, and after Atrus left for D'ni, Sirrus and Achenar had eventually been trapped in the inter-Age void, while looking for more Ages to rule. They sought for the Stranger to find the 5 pages in order to link to the books, thus freeing the brothers, while s/he'd be trapped there. This is seen in the two of the losing scenarios.
Some fan theories tried to reconcile these: At the end of the Myst game, it is believed that the brothers were indeed trapped in the void, but Atrus before burning the trap books, rewrote them back into into normal linking books, and the brothers each finally linked to their respective prison Ages (i.e. ages with no linking books in them).
In RivenEdit
In Riven, Atrus' journal makes an analysis of what Trap Books are, and an essential puzzle for trapping Gehn, includes this exclusive property of Trap Books, getting trapped while switching places with another. Finding a way to incapacitate Gehn, Atrus tapers with a linking book to D'ni. At first Gehn puts the player to link to D'ni to check if the book is safe. The Stranger is indeed trapped there, but Gehn eventually can't resist and decides to link there himelf, freeing the Stranger.
These events are explained by Cyan Worlds as artistic license, as well as the communication through the Gateway Image.
The switching of places between Gehn and the Stranger in Riven can not be explained unless the book used was a trap book and not a prison book; however, Atrus could not have subsequently sent Gehn to a prison age in the same manner as his sons because that particular trap book was made from a D'ni linking book, and converting it back would release Gehn there. Under this theory, Gehn thus remains in the void indefinitely. The trap book used to capture Gehn was presumably slightly different to the two encountered in Myst; unlike the latter, the former evidently continued to show a normal linking image even after it held a person, otherwise Gehn would subsequently not have used it himself. Another theory is that Atrus didn't need to rewrite the prison books, but rather the destruction of the books forced Sirrus and Achenar into their respective prison Ages. This means that Gehn would remain in the void so long as the D'ni prison book remains in tact.
After the production of Riven, Cyan Worlds (specifically Richard A. Watson) announced that Trap Books are not canonical and the D'ni did not have the power to write them. Instead, he revealed that Trap Books are merely Prison Books and that Cyan did not want to reward the player for losing the game. This information was given in an e-mail written by Richard A. Watson, who was the first official mouth to dismiss the established canon set forth by the games. Watson mentioned that trap books were added in to help the gameplay[2]. Rather, the trap books link to prison ages (Spire and Haven, in the case of Sirrus and Achenar), though the first two games show them as black desolate ages, due to Cyan not wanting to reward the player for getting a bad ending.

Dear Aunty,
I don't think you're my Aunty any more. Maggie & Simon have made such a differenc....
To view full entry click here
Tonight Simon revels in his favourite Thai food, and encourages heat- avoiding Maggie to dip a toe into this chilli laden cuisine. The resulting savoury and sweet dishes are delicate, exquisitely complex and beautifully balanced in flavour, and surprisingly Maggie friendly!
The smell of fresh coriander and kaffir limes leaves takes Simon back to one of his favourite periods when he was able to immerse himself in a bit of Thai cooking and he jumps at the opportunity to celebrate the influence of Thai cuisine in Australia. First up Simon makes the wonderfully intricate but surprisingly simple egg nets. A dish inspired by his favourite Thai chef, David Thompson, the egg nets are made from a egg mixture that Simon has strained and left over night. Simon then uses his hand, fingers spread, to weave the mix across a hot wok. The resulting net is then peeled off the wok and filled with a delicious stuffing of cooked minced prawn and pork, flavoured with chilli, lemon grass, garlic, pepper and coriander. Its a dish that not only demonstrates the beautiful Thai trade mark balance of sweet, salty, sour, and acid but it looks spectacular and as Simon says makes him fell like "King of the Universe". After a long search Maggie found a Thai recipe without too much heat that she felt she could enjoy, and her choice, a chicken and plum sauce dish, is inspired by another great Thai chef, Martin Boetz. A whole chook is encrusted with a roasted spice mix which includes cassia, salt, and star anise before being steamed and then quickly deep fried to crisp up the coating. It is served with a tangy, rich plum sauce and a mix of spices for dipping which includes, yes, Chilli! It is a dish with a real explosion of flavour made all the better by the succulence of chicken that is cooked on the bone.
When Maggie and Simon discussed doing an episode on Thai food they felt that it wouldnt be a program without mention of Australian Thai chef, David Thompson. Chef, restaurateur and cookery writer, David is known world wide for his expertise in Thai cuisine, so much so that he was invited by the Thai government to the Suan Dusit College to assist in preserving Thai recipes.
With his attention to detail and an intuition for flavour David essentially turned what had been considered in Australia to be mainly take away food into quality restaurant fate. David made his name at Darley Street Thai in Sydney , then set up Sailors Thai and in 2001 he opened the Nahm in London, the first Thai restaurant to receive a Michelin Star.
Davids selection of recipes provides Maggie with a sweet, chilli free option for her second dish. Her sticky rice dessert is a deliciously creamy, sweet rice mix balanced with some lovely tangy mango. Simple and colourful the dish just sings. Simon is inspired by David to tackle prawn crackers. Its a really interesting process to watch and forget about any commercial images you have of prawn crackers, Simons are delicate, lightly flavoured and completely "moreish".

Published: 00:01, 01 September 2014 |
Maurice appeared in our weekly Anim-Mates column, which hopes to find new homes for animals which are being cared for by the rescue centre in St Mary, Hoo.
But what Anim-Mates didn't realise was that Maurice, as he was named by staff, was actually a beloved pet called Woody who had gone missing from his Strood home.
Woody is now back with his delighted owner Christine Ross.
She said: "Whilst I had never given up hope of finding him, when I saw the photo in the paper I couldn't believe my eyes."
Woody disappeared after Carol moved home nine months ago.
She explained: "We kept Woody in for two weeks after we moved, but as soon as he was let out he disappeared, no doubt trying to return to our former house.
"We went back to the old house several times in our search for him and spent many days calling his name."
She added: "Now he's back he follows me everywhere and doesn't leave my side."
"Their reunion was quite emotional" - fosterer Teresa Bloomfield
His fosterer at Anim-Mates Teresa Bloomfield said: "When we rescued him in June and named him Maurice he was quite scruffy and battered looking.
"When Carol first called me I was doubtful that Maurice was her missing cat as she said he was 15 years old.
"We thought he was only about nine or 10 years at the most. He really is a live wire for his age.
"We immediately put on hold any plans to rehome Maurice.
"When Carol came to see if Maurice really was her Woody any doubts I had disappeared.
"Their reunion was quite emotional. I am so pleased we were able to return him to his rightful family.
"Carol had Woody from a tiny kitten and realises that if she had got him microchipped he would have been returned to her immediately he was found.
"As all cats taken in by Anim-Mates are given a heath check and then microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, defleaed and if necessary neutered, Woody is in fine fettle with his new chip."
