Royal Bank of Canada, Canada's second-largest lender by assets, raised its dividend and reported a fiscal first-quarter profit that rose 17% from a year earlier, beating expectations.
Toronto-based RBC said Wednesday that its earnings set a record and were fueled by strong contributions from retail banking and its capital markets division.
RBC is the second big Canadian lender to report results this week. Its results stand in strong contrast to those from Bank of Montreal, which on Tuesday posted a lower first-quarter profit that missed expectations due to swooning oil prices, sliding interest rates and a sinking Canadian dollar. Analysts had expected those challenges to dent the results of other Canadian banks for the November-to-January quarter.
RBC posted a net profit of 2.46 billion Canadian dollars ($1.97 billion), or C$1.65 a share, in its latest quarter. That compared with a profit of C$2.09 billion, or C$1.38 a share, a year earlier.
On an adjusted basis, which excludes extraordinary items, RBC said it earned C$1.67 a share, beating the Thomson Reuters mean estimate of C$1.58 a share.
In conjunction with its earnings, RBC announced it would increase its quarterly dividend by 3%, or 2 Canadian cents, to 77 Canadian cents per share.
"We delivered a record first quarter, with earnings of over C$2.4 billion, reflecting the strength of our franchise and our commitment to serving our clients," said Chief Executive Officer Dave McKay in a release.
"Looking ahead, we are confident that our diversified business model, with our strong risk and cost management capabilities, positions us well to navigate macroeconomic headwinds in Canada and continue to capitalize on opportunities created by the changing environment," he added.
The bank's Basel III Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio stood at 9.6% at the end of the first quarter.
Toronto-Dominion Bank and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, ranking first and fifth in size, respectively, are scheduled to report results Thursday. Bank of Nova Scotia, the country's third-largest lender, will cap off bank earnings season on March 3.

Allowances for Deficiencies: Temperature, tolerances of account, and natural wastage
A temperature allowance is only to be made when:
- The quantity of oil is stated in bulk litres ( or a similar bulk quantity ) at despatch or receipt; and
- The temperature of the oil is taken and recorded at despatch and receipt.
The most satisfactory method of allowing for temperature deficiency is by conversion ofall quantities of oil to litres at 15ºC. If the deficiency in litres at 15ºC is lessthan the deficiency in bulk litres, the allowance is equal to the difference. If thedeficiency in litres at 15ºC is greater, no allowance is to be made.
At other installations the following allowances expressed as percentages of the bulkquantity despatched are appropriate:
- For light oil, 0.11% per ºC fall in temperature: and
- For heavy oil, 0.08% per ºC fall in temperature.
Adjustments are not to be made on the basis of indirect evidence, suchas ambient temperature.
Although allowances are made for decreases in temperature of oil in transit, it islong-standing practice that normal small increases in temperature should be ignored.
In exceptional circumstances, however, if large increases in temperature occur for a knownreason and there is no doubt about the accuracy of the recorded figures, they are to betaken into account in considering the deficiency.
Tolerances of account
The allowance for accounting tolerances is the sum of the separate tolerances on theaccounts involved in calculating the total deficiency.
For each despatch and receipt account taken in storage tanks by dipping or automatic tankgauge, the tolerance is the quantity represented by a dip of 2mm for each tank, asappropriate.
For each account taken in a rail tank wagon or craft by reference to a calibration table,the tolerance is the quantity represented by the unit to which it is dipped (e.g.millimetre).
For each account taken by weighing, whether the oil is weighed net or the container isgrossed and tared, the tolerance is the quantity represented by the unit to which it isweighed (e.g. kilogram)
Natural wastage
The maximum allowances for natural wastage including normal evaporation and handlinglosses are as follows:
|Means of Transport
where measurement is based on storage; tank dip on despatch and/or receipt
other pipeline movements 1. 0.1% of the quantity despatched for each storage tank dipped
Nil Closed drums Nil Ship or craft, except if both despatch and receipt quantities are based on craft dips 0.5% of the quantity despatched (EGAD Regulation 14.2 ) Other 0.5% of the quantity despatched

My trip to Soc Son province with Bloom Microventures is one of those things that just happened – I was looking around TripAdvisor for tours around the city. Yes, I know, tours. Me. The trouble with Vietnam is that there is very little public transport. Or rather, there is, but at a local level, there is a good chance that people will not allow a tourist to use it – an experience I made in Hanoi when trying to use the public buses. As a tourist in Vietnam, they expect you to pay. More than in neighbouring countries, but still only a fraction of what you'd pay in the west, so it's ok I guess.
Anyway, if you want to explore the countryside, you basically have three options: 1) Rent a motorbike – but even if you can ride one, maps are scarce, and not in English at any rate. 2) Rent a personal driver/taxi/motorcycle driver – expensive, and not the safest way to travel if you're on your own and at the mercy of the driver who can dump you in the middle of nowhere if he chooses. 3) Go on a tour. Cheap and easy. And surprisingly, in Vietnam, I took half a dozen of them and all were very interesting and didn't make me feel like I was tourist cattle being ushered around (well, 90% of the time).
So, the 4th best result for tours in Hanoi on TripAdvisor are BloomMicroventures' Microfinance Tours. If you aren't familiar with microfinance, it's a concept where organisations give small loans to people in developing countries to invest in their businesses. Because of the way finance and banking works, if you already have a house, car and a load of debt, it's easier to get another loan then if you live in a hut in the middle of nowhere, even if you only need $100 to invest. This is where microloans kick in. The most famous of such websites is Kiva, which has done extensive online marketing in the last couple of months.
Bloom Microventures was started by a group of students from the UK, was meant to be run in Central America, but through a couple of random events, they ended up working in Vietnam, lending money to women below the poverty line (that means less than $20 a month in Vietnam!) in Soc Son Province, a little north of Hanoi. They combine the concept of microfinance with tourism, letting small groups of people visit those benefiting from your money.
For my tour, we were picked up at the amazing Opera House in Hanoi in the morning. The group was a British family living in Hong Kong, four American ladies and me – and unlike Thailand, all of them had amazing things to tell and amazing projects or life stories! Vietnam seems to attract interesting people. The same goes for the Bloom team, with two Vietnamese girls who just started working there having their first tour that day.
We went for a walk in the countryside, went fishing with bamboo rods (well, some did...) had an amazing homecooked lunch (no place does tofu like Vietnam! Not even Japan), and went to visit the ladies...
To be continued, to not freak you out with a shitload of text ;)

This is a rant that is not about computers, but is about a trying experience my wife and I are going through.
Buying a new house? Don't use William Lyon Mortgage.
About 4 months ago we signed a contract to buy a new house. The builder offered us a discount if we used their preferred lender, so of course we accepted. Big mistake.
Throughout this process this lender has assured us that everything was on track for us to close on time. This in spite of the fact that they don't seem to be able to keep anything straight. They have repeatedly asked for the same documents, and they have been unable to keep various facts straight, asking for non-existent information. They have also asked for documents that are none of their business, like my mother's bank statement because she gave us a one-time gift – she isn't helping us buy the house.
This last week has been the worst. Just over a week ago we got a list of "final sign off conditions", including as usual items that don't exist or don't apply. We provided either the items requested or explanations of why they didn't apply. This "final" list has been followed by more and more requests and duplicates. One request was for a new copy of a document that had been in their possession for about a month and a half and that they had just discovered was unusable; because we had not expected to be asked for a copy of it, our copy is in storage and thus inaccessible, yet we were asked multiple times – after explaining that we cannot access it – for various parts of it.
Today was the culmination of the mis-management of our attempt to get a home loan. Again we were assured that, with one more piece of documentation, we would be able to close today. Again, this request was followed by more, always with the assurance that we were on track. Until this afternoon. The requests kept coming, and we were told that we should not count on closing today. Nevertheless, we went to the bank to get a check for the closing, hoping that they would get it together and we could squeak the closing in by the end of the day. We were finally told that no, there was no chance of closing today, and they are now demanding a piece of documentation that will probably take at least a couple of weeks to get.
So we are left high and dry. We have no house, since we sold our old house in preparation for buying the new one. We had several deliveries scheduled for tomorrow, which we could not cancel in time; so I will be wasting time waiting for the deliveries to arrive so that I can tell the delivery crews that we cannot accept our stuff yet (who knows how much extra expense we will incur because of that). We don't know when, or if, this company will live up to their promises and provide us with the funding they have assured us would be no problem.
I know that this is a long rant, but it is all true, and right my level of frustration and anger is about as high as it has ever been. I was planning on today being a very happy day, and instead it has turned into a nightmare. I doubt that this will do any good, but I just needed to get it off of my chest.

The StimTracker supports high precision time stamps between iMotions' stimuli presentation and the ABM B-Alert EEG and Tobii TX300 eye tracker.
Some scientific research studies require to determine millisecond response times to stimuli presented within an experiment. The StimTracker from Cedrus allows researchers to eliminate timing delays caused by computer operating systems or monitor graphic cards in data analysis. It uses light sensors to precisely detect stimuli changes and writes this information as time stamps (event markers) in the EEG and eye tracking data. The common time stamps can then be used for easy multichannel synchronization and analysis.

Many chemicals that can kill microbes or prevent their growth, but most of these materials are not permitted to be used in food interfere with human health reasons. Some chemicals are allowed in small amounts of sodium benzoate, sorbic acid, sodium or potassium propionate, ethyl format, sulfur oxides, etc..Preservative commonly used to preserve food that has perishable nature. This material can inhibit or slow down the process of fermentation, acidification or degradation caused by microbes. The use of preservatives in food should be just fine jnis and dose. A preservative may be effective for treating certain foodstuffs, but not effective for other types.In the U.S. agency the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) regulates the use of chemicals for food preservatives. Use of chemicals as preservatives must comply with FDA regulations. Some of the antibiotics used in food preservation such as penicillin, tetracycline chlorine, oxy tetracycline, bacitrasin and subtilin. In the U.S. chlorine oxy tetracycline and tetracycline permitted preservative FDA for uncooked chicken meat. In the U.S. there are no antibiotics are permitted directly as a food preservative, but antibiotics are allowed to be added in animal feed.KarbokdioksidaCarbon dioxide can be used as a preservative for meat and meat products because it has a bacteriostatic effect and fungistatik. Carbon dioxide inhibits the growth of some anaerobic bacteria, yeasts and fungi. Facultative bacteria can also be inhibited by CO2 while the lactic acid bacteria and anaerobic bacteria is not affected by CO2. The maximum concentration used was 25%.OzoneOzone is a substance contained bactericidal to microorganisms contained in air or in liquids. Aerobic microorganisms are relatively more resistant to ozone than bacteria and facultative anaerobic. The lower the storage temperature, the greater the effectiveness of ozone. Ozone is very toxic because it increases oxidative ransiditas developments such as ultra violet rays.Food sterilization process is generally still use heat or high temperatures that can damage the material. What looks beautiful on the surface may not be pretty well what is in it. That may be the right phrase to describe the fruits or vegetables that look fresh with a bright color but not necessarily a positive effect on health. Let's say tomato. The fruit of this one always seems to look fresh with a reddish orange color. However, tomatoes are not necessarily safe. So that always a good tomato growers often spray pesticides. Pests that farmers feared it could not damage the tomatoes. However, the nature of the pesticides that can not be cleaned by the water will actually cause negative effects for those who eat them. Then, how to resolve the issue? What assurances can be held by consumers of fruits and vegetables that they eat food safe from harmful substances such as pesticides?Currently, it has been dikembankan a preservative tool by using ozone. This tool is in addition to clean pesticides are also able to ward off bacteria or viruses carried in the process of preserving vegetables and fruits. Basically, any food can be contaminated with bacteria or virus after a long process, starting from the sorting of raw materials, the process of cooking, storage, cleanliness of the place of processing, and transportation. However, the sterilization process in the food industry are still largely revolves around the use of heat or high temperatures, which in some manufacturing processes can damage the material. Has found a technological tool that uses ozone ozone sterilization process using ozone-containing water. According to the research, technology can be utilized as an alternative ozone safe food preservative. This technology could replace the often used dealer formalin. Ozone technology that was developed using the method of sterilization processing using berozon water. Ozone is active oxygen species that have oxidation potential 2.07 V, higher than the chlorine that has only 1.36 V. The oxidation potential With a high oxidation potential, ozone can be used to kill bacteria, remove color, odor, and describes organic compounds. "The surplus compared to formaldehyde, ozone directly into oxygen. There is no substance left in the food, "he said. The tool is designed with a simple. Fruit or vegetables put in a glass box and then sprayed with water berozon. Long washing this way is only about 15 minutes. After washing, the ozone will react to preserve vegetables or fruits such as tomatoes for three weeks. Preservation is not going to change the color and nutrient content. Because, ozonnya own content will be lost by evaporation. Therefore, if there are drinks berozon then that means instead of foods that contain ozone but the drink was made by using ozone. Unfortunately, until now this technology can not be used for processed foods such as tofu or meatballs. Because, the character of ozone on processed foods will react with the preparation beforehand. So far, the raw materials that have been tested are tomatoes, peppers, chilies, and some types of vegetables. This tool has been used in plantations Lembang and Pangalengan. The use of such technology could reduce production costs. Now, the tool used is still very simple. However, in the near future, the design tools will be enlarged so that it can be used for the production of vegetables and fruits in large quantities. Where elongated shape, like the machines in the factory. Then the tomatoes will go in and sprayed water berozon.This technology is also great to use for preservation of fish and processed foods without. But for fish preservation at the farm level will be difficult. So far, fishermen using preservation by using ice. "As to the sea, the ice was already melted," he said. For that, so far is still used for pickling vegetables and fruits. Households can have those tools. If making your own then it will only remove one third of the market price of Rp 20 million per unit. Ozone from oxygen is incorporated into the electricity went out ozone (O3). If the sun would hit ozone into oxygen again. To be able to kill bacteria only need 0.1 grams of ozone. While these tools once production can produce 20 liters of water or to 30 kg of tomatoes. Iktisar: a. Until now this technology can not be used for processed foods such as tofu or meatballs. Because, the character of ozone on processed foods will react with the preparation beforehand. b. So far, the raw materials that have been tested are tomatoes, peppers, chilies, and some types of vegetables.AcidMicrobes are sensitive to acid because it can cause bacterial protein denaturation. Acid produced by microbes during fermentation one would normally inhibit the proliferation of other microbes. Therefore, the fermentation can be used to preserve food in a way against proteolytic bacteria or other spoilage bacteria.Acids in food can be produced by adding acid-forming cultures, or directly adding citric acid or phosphoric acid. Some foods such as tomatoes, orange juice and apples contain acids that each has a different effect as a preservative. This is influenced by differences in the degree of acidity (pH). Acid combined with the heat will cause the heat is more effective against microbes. Because the pH contributes to the inhibition of microbial growth of spoilage, then divided by the level of acidity:food low acidity (high pH) with a pH above 4.5foodstuffs having acidic pH of 4.0 to 4.5high acidic foods (low pH) has a pH below 4.0Microbes berspora generally can not live and breed in the lower pH of 4.0 and microbes such as Clostridium botulinum berspora can not live at a pH lower than 4.6.Acid for a preservative commonly used include:benzoic acid (in the form of acid, potassium salt or sodium benzoate), which is the material used to preserve soft drinks and soy sauce (600 mg / kg) and juice, tomato sauce, chili sauce, jam, jelly, sweets and other foods that ( 1 g / kg).Propionate (in the form of acid, potassium salt or sodium propionate) is a preservative for bread (2 g / kg) and processed cheese (3 g / kg).Nitrite and nitrate (in the form of sodium or potassium nitrite and nitrate) is a preservative for processed meats such as sausage (125 mg nitrite / kg or 500 mg nitrate / kg), canned corned (50 mg nitrite / kg) or cheese (50 mg nitrate / kg)Sorbate (in the form of potassium salts or calcium sorbate) is a preservative for margarine, fruit juice concentrates and cheese (1 g / kg).Sulfite (in the form of potassium salt or sodium bisulfite or metabisulfite) is a preservative for French fries (500 mg / kg), frozen shrimp (100 mg / kg) and pineapple juice concentrates (500 mg / kg).At this time there are still many who are prohibited from use of preservatives and harmful to health such as borax and formaldehyde. Borax is widely used for meatballs, wet noodles, oisang molen, kemoer, domestic poultry, dumplings, rice cake, rice cake and dumpling. Besides aiming to preserve foods can also make a more supple texture and improve its appearance. However, borax is harmful to health, is antiseptic, bacteriostatic, fungistatik. Formalin is also widely misused to preserve tofu and wet noodle. Formalin is actually a material to preserve the bodies and organs of the body and are harmful to health is therefore in the regulation of the Minister of Health Decree No. formalin 722/Menkes/Per/IX/88 is one of the prohibited materials are used as BTP (Food Additives).SugarSweet taste, like the salty taste, a flavor that is very well known. Mainly due to the sweetness of sugar, which is a type of soluble carbohydrate (in water) are small, found in fruits, plants and other natural products. Common sugars are fructose (levulose, fruit sugar), maltose (malt sugar), lactose (milk sugar), glucose (dextrose) and saccharose (sucrose, ordinary table sugar we know). Saccharose is mainly used in processed foods. This can be obtained from sugar cane or from bit.Sugar is not only used in food because it tastes sweet, but also because of the reactions that occur during heating; of caramel and Maillard products. Caramel is obtained from heating sugars directly without any additional materials or water. The resulting caramel brown to black and has a delicious flavor. Maillard products resulting from heating sugars and protein. This is a very complex reaction, producing a variety of distinctive flavors like flavor breads, cookies, popcorn, fried meat, etc..Sugar can bind water efficiently. Therefore the addition of sugar into a product will give the effect of preservation because water is no longer available for the growth of spoilage organisms. Preservation of fruits or other products with sugar (like butter) or honey has been practiced for over 2000 years.Sugar is an important part of the basis on a variety of processed foods. Sugarless gum will lose its volume by 60%, while the various types of cake will lose 15-30% in volume in the absence of sugar.Sucrose in foodstuffs other than as a sweetener also serves as forming the texture, taste, and forming as a substrate for fermentation processes. Sucrose as a sweetener to enhance consumer acceptance by masking the unpleasant taste. In addition sikrosa also strengthen the food tastes as it balances the taste sour, bitter and salty. As a preservative of sucrose can reduce the value of relative balance and increased osmotic pressure by binding free water so that there can not be used by microbial spoilage. At a concentration of 30% sucrose can inhibit the enzyme ascorbate oxidase activity and the concentration of 50% will inhibit the enzyme activity of catalase.Some microbes can grow on osmofilik concentrated sugar solution, for example Zygosacharomyces and Sacharomyces can grow and cause damage to the honey which has a sugar concentration of 70-80%. Sugar is used in high concentrations above 45% can prevent microbial growth, so it can be used as a preservative, but the high sugared food products tend to be damaged by heat. When the microbes in a concentrated sugar solution, the water penetrates the cell membrane and flows out into the sugar solution. This is known as osmosis and events in this state have plasmolisis and inhibited microbial breeding.Sugar ChemistrySugar is chemically similar to carbohydrates, but generally refers to the understanding of sugar carbohydrates that taste sweet, small, and can dissolve. The word sugar is generally used as a synonym for saccharose (sucrose). In this section refers to the notion of sugar carbohydrates that taste sweet, small, soluble (in water).Sweetness usually found in plants is mainly caused by three types of sugar, ie saccharose, fructose and glucose. These sugars are individually or in mixtures with one another. Honey is a solution consisting of glucose, fructose and saccharose in water, with a composition of about 80% sugar and 20% water. Highly dependent on the actual composition of plant origin. In brewing, starch (carbohydrate that is not a big sweet) of the grains split into smaller carbohydrates, one of them is malt sugar (maltose), which has a slightly sweet taste.
SaltSalt (NaCl) used in the food industry banya. Low salt concentration serves as a shaper of taste, whereas in high enough concentrations can act as a preservative. The salt is ionized and attracted a number of water molecules, this event is called ion hydration. If the greater the salt concentration, the more hydrated ions and water molecules are trapped, resulting in decreased food Aw. Interesting
activity in the salt water is closely related to plasmolisis events,
where the water will move from a low salt concentration to high salt
concentrations due to the osmotic pressure difference.Pickling salt effect (NaCl) as a preservative Cl ionic strength, oxidation and reduction reactions enzymatis. Na
Cl solubility in water causes the O2 solubility in water decreases,
causing denaturation of the protein so that enzyme activity is reduced. Provision of salt as much as 3% in the immersion will affect the fruit tissue. Salt acts as a selective inhibitor of certain pollutants on microorganisms. It
also serves to remove the sap, improve taste and reduce the solubility
of oxygen in the water, so the fruit will always look fresh.Effect
of salt as a preservative is high so that the nature osmotiknya
membaran solve microbial cells, the nature of proteolytic enzymes
hidroskopisnya and inhibits the activity of the dissociated ions Cl. When
microorganisms are placed in concentrated salt solution (30-40%), then
the water will come out in the cell by osmosis and the cells undergo
plasmolisis and will be hampered in breeding.Microorganisms have different tolerance to the osmotic pressure of sugar or salt solution. Yeasts
and molds are more tolerant than bacteria, yeasts and molds that are
often found on foods that have high levels of sugar and salt which is
inhibited bacterial growth, such as the candied fruit, dried fish or
dried meat.Salt is very often associated with high blood pressure. Salt we mean here salt (Sodium Chloride (NaCl) or Sodium Chloride). Physician
is always recommended to reduce salt intake in people who suffer from
high blood pressure, what more if they are old enough information.Sodium or Sodium is a mineral that is vital to maintain osmotic balance or balance the flow of fluid in the body. Blood containing 0.9 percent NaCl. We
need approximately 200-500 milligrams of sodium each day to keep the
salt levels in the blood remains normal to keep the body healthy. Sodium is also very important for muscle and nerve function.Sodium
deficiency is often associated with various health problems such as
muscle cramps (cramping), limp, and often feeling tired (fatigue), loss
of appetite, decreased memory, decreased resistance to infection, wound
difficult to heal, visual disturbances, unhealthy hair and split ends, and the formation of white patches on the nail. However, salt intake should not be excessive. Healthy people are advised not to consume more sodium than 2,400 milligrams per day. This is equivalent to 6 grams of NaCl or about one teaspoon of salt. Excessive salt intake can be fatal. Sodium works in the body to retain water, so that the circulating blood volume will increase.Increased blood volume will increase the pressure experienced by the walls of blood vessels. This is called hypertension or high blood pressure. High blood pressure can affect the health area. He can cause a heart disorder, stroke, and so forth. Excess
salt in the body can also cause swelling of body parts, such as
swelling of the leg in pregnant women, and can also lead to obesity
because of water suspended in the body. How does a person's body response to salt is actually very varied. There are people who are not sensitive to salt. That is, excessive salt intake does not significantly affect their health.Rather, many people are sensitive to salt, especially if our systems have started to crash. Half of people with high blood pressure are the people who are sensitive to salt. Therefore, people with high blood pressure is always advised to reduce salt intake. Sodium Chloride is not only found in table salt, but also present in various foodstuffs. Therefore, high blood pressure sufferers as the father and mother you must carefully choose the food. Fresh foods such as fish, meat, eggs, vegetables, even fruits also contain salt. However, the numbers are not excessive and enough to maintain good health. However, many preserved foods is very high salinity. To reduce salt intake a lot of things to do. First, of course, avoid all foods that are salty. Salted fish should be left alone. If father and mother like dried fish, dried fish you can serve fresh (sold in many markets). Preserved
foods in cans, such as mushrooms and bamboo shoots in a can, canned
fish, corned beef (corned beef) and other generally contain lots of
added sodium in food is preserved, both as a preservative (sodium
chloride / table salt, Sodium Benzoate), as a flavoring (Sodium
Glutamate or MSG, commonly known as MSG), to enhance their appearance
(Sodium Nitrite) or for other purposes. Because it should be left alone. Besides
vitamins and minerals and other useful substances found in fresh foods
are usually damaged and lost in the preservation process. Instant noodles, instant soups, instant chicken porridge, and other instant foods generally contain lots of salt. Then, should be avoided. Besides a lot of fat cheese is also high in salt.Do not provide table salt. Sometimes we are compelled to add salt if available at the table even though not required. If you took my father and mother to eat in restaurants, ask for prepared foods that are reduced or no salt. Avoid fast food (fast food). For these foods usually contain quite a lot of salt and we can not ask for special orders are low in salt. Health
is more important than taste, not the taste anyway we can get used or
taste, can be'' educated''. If we accustom ourselves to eat foods low in
salt, no salt, over time the meal without any added salt taste good. In fact, if it is used to this, a little excess salt in the diet would be very bad taste. So,
the important thing to say to his father and mother about the dangers
of excess salt for their health, especially those suffering from high
blood pressure. Strive for awareness to reduce salt intake comes from their own. Bring
awareness of the desire or the will, and will educate the body's
willingness to continue to feel the delicious food in the condition we
want. The addition of various spices can also endeavored to increase the appetite.Our
traditional spices such as onion, garlic, coriander, cumin, turmeric,
ginger, galangal, kencur, bay leaves, lemon grass, lime leaves and
others can increase appetite while also having to maintain health

Warwick Professor appointed as Guyanas Ambassador to China
A University of Warwick Professor has exchanged academia for an ambassadorial role when he became Guyana's Ambassador to the People's Republic of China.
David Dabydeen, who has been a professor at Warwick for some 26 years, made an address to President Hu Jintao on 1 December to mark a new connection between Guyana and China as there hasn't been anyone in that role for the last 16 years.
Guyana was the first English-speaking Caribbean country to establish diplomatic relations with China, nearly 40 years ago, and their first President, from 1970-1980, was of Chinese descent. The Chinese population in Guyana dates back 200 years and it remains a valued and creative presence in the country.
David now lives in Beijing but remains part of the University of Warwick's Centre for Translation and Comparative Cultural Studies and the Centre for Caribbean Studies. He is honoured to have the responsibility of this new role and presented a book to the President which he wrote whilst at the University. He said: "My book is presented as a token of Guyana's great respect for Chinese culture and a desire to forge even closer relationships between our two peoples."

Grits -- they're not just for breakfast anymore.
DOr, to be more specific, they're not just for the kinds of breakfast enjoyed by good ol' boys called Bubba who drive around in pickups with gun racks in their rear windows and coon dogs named Blue in back.
As the previous paragraph attests, those not born in the heart of the Southland can be snooty about grits.
Many Northern types share the views expressed by a former Miss America, who was rash enough (and on a visit to Georgia, yet!) to sniff "What are grits? It sounds so awful!" (The New Yorker's comment, naturally, did not endear her to Americans below the Mason-Dixon Line, where they know all about both grits and beauty queen protocol.) Even President Jimmy Carter didn't do much more to raise the fortunes of his namesake dish -- remember "Grits and Fritz?" -- than he did the fortunes of the Democratic Party.

Who hasn't heard of acupuncture? Most persons have I assume, and I venture to say with various levels of understanding. Some, like me, know fairly little about this procedure but may at sometime have this treatment as an option for an annoying ache or some other ailment. I have for sometime now been plagued with a pesky lower back ache, the type that visits at odd times in your life, like on one of the busiest months of the year, or the day of your great niece's wedding.
The pain from my latest visit was at its peak and I decided to try, no not acupuncture, but consultation with a natural medicine practitioner . This of course was decided on after consultations with a conventional specialist yielded no relief and no serious findings. I approached the exercise with caution but at the same time comfortable since the practitioner was recommended by someone I trust with these matters, however a little while into the consultation some of this comfort soon disappeared when acupuncture was suggested . The procedure was painstakingly explained, some of which I did not hear nor grasp, since I was distracted by the thought of having to face the unknown and thinking of my version of the exercise. Of course my imagination had gone wild, I sat there going through my slide show of pain, torment, screams and moans . I was told to digest the information and then make my decision . I was grateful for that approach, great I thought to myself I'll see about that. However the pain itself and the uncomfortable postures that the pain continued to force upon me caused me to pay urgent attention to my options. I decided to seek out persons with experience of acupuncture. Friends, relatives any willing informant. The experiences ranged from neutral to wonderful, the absence of any horror stories was very encouraging and I decided to take the plunge .
I arrived for the appointment at the set time, entered the space, sat down and engaged in the usual patient practitioner exchange all the while doing the same thing that I had started earlier, not focusing on the task at hand. A few minutes later I was fully prepared for the commencement of the procedure, this is when I started to home in on everything. My mind started running really wild this time. I had clear visions of the ambulance arriving with blaring siren to transport me to the hospital in order to retrieve a get away needle that had disappeared deep into my body from somewhere in my back and many other similar incidents of acupuncture gone wrong. It seemed that I was (thankfully) so engaged in my images of horror that I forgot the one thing that I would normally do in any such situation, just simply express my discomfort and discontinue the exercise. Instead I sought to fight my wild imaginations with weak images of life with a better back . It was while struggling in this battle that I was told that the greater part of the job was done, and I was now only required to lie still and wait the uneventful end of the procedure.
Minutes passed and I had slowly returned from my horror movie, I was at peace with the situation, realizing that all was well, that no drama was forthcoming and that the faint buzzing massage I was feeling on the target spot on my back was the closest sensation to pain I would experience . I finally relaxed and allowed myself to be still and enjoy the wonderful energy that seems to never escape my awareness when ever I visit this space. The treatment ended, I left fully satisfied. My back felt better, I had endured no punishment, and there were no extraordinary situations . It has been a little less than a week since the treatment and my back is still progressing. I am now able to do much more without pain or awkward posture.
As my back slowly gets stronger and I enjoy the freedom of movement without pain I find myself looking forward to future treatments with a good level of ease and confidence. I thank everyone, my sister Norma and Diane Sinclair whose endorsement of the practitioner really helped in a big way and everyone else who so kindly shared with me their experience of this wonderful Art, and encouraged me to give it a try.

Surprising news today is that Mega Upload has been raided by the FBI and shut down with seven arrests today. Megaupload is a Hong Kong based company with managers around the planet, and the CEO being in the music industry themselves.
This is breaking news so expect changes in the story line as we learn more from the government, RIAA, and Megaupload. The interesting part is that this was closely followed by retaliatory attacks by Anonymous taking out the main sites for RIAA, MPAA, and the Department of Justice. Reports are that the Whitehouse.gov is also under attack but has not been taken down yet.
This also demonstrates the fact that the US Government and its corporate allies have shown that they can take down an international site with international arrests under existing US laws. There is absolutely no need for an additional set of rules and regulations like SOPA and PIPA. What makes this more problematic though is that for us ordinary people who were hosting their working files on the system they might just be gone and not recoverable. It is time to back up all your personal files off systems like this and only put things on systems like Drop Box if you need them today or while traveling. I personally use Drop Box to store off many of the books I am working on at any given time, and use that to share larger files with a small group of people I work with where having a collaborative environment is critical to the success of the story line. Honestly, I have been a happy fan of Drop Box and it is one of the few times the service has been worth paying for.
Something like this does not bode well for document sharing outside of Google Docs. Of course, there are probably going to be issues with that too as highlighted by Techdirt in December.
The bad part is that this puts the thought of document sharing or file sharing via systems like Drop Box, Spider Oak, and others into a seriously tenuous legal state today. It also makes the sharing of legitimate files problematic across systems like Megaupload and Dropbox because systems like this have slowly become a critical part of collaborative document work. We grow used to being able to engage in document and file sharing, and being able to do updating on the fly within these kinds of systems. I know a lot of sales people who have drop box shares or Google Doc shares that are critical to the sales team when they hit the road. I share videos and music/video projects though these systems when we are working on them, and we also share pre-published books, book covers, and you name it we probably share it somewhere in the system.
Megaupload's raid today shows that the music industry really does not need PIPA or SOPA; this is an international raid, with people arrested around the globe, and DNS possibly altered just because they can although that will take a while to propagate through the system. While it is unlikely that the domain will ever return to operations, this is going to be a tough case for people to prove that all the files that were on Megaupload were not legitimate or owned by the people who put them up there. We know that there were serious strong-arm tactics against the company in the past.
There is still the remaining court case with the takedown of the Mega Upload song. In all though this is some very interesting breaking news on the subject of file sharing, and the position that companies like Dropbox, Megaupload and others put themselves into as a business model. Unfortunately, while it has seriously good non-infringing uses, we are once again looking at a dual use technology that is dependent upon the users to use wisely. In this case, Megaupload caught the ire of the copyright police, and as of about three or four hours ago is down, seized with its operators arrested.

In this paper, we describe experiences from a future laboratory.Future laboratories allow users to experiment with prototypes of futuretechnologies in as realistic conditions as possible. We have devised thismethod because, to realise the potential of advanced ubiquitous computingtechnologies, it is essential to anticipate and design for future practices, but forprospective users, it is often difficult to imagine and articulate future practicesand provide design specifications. However, they readily invent new ways ofworking in engagement with new technologies and, by facilitating the realisticuse of prototype technologies in future laboratories, designers and users candefine and study both the opportunities and constraints for design. We present11 scenes from a major incidents future laboratory held in September 2005.Many raise tough questions rather than provide quick answers. In addition,many also bring desirable and realisable sociotechnical futures into relief,illustrating the value of the future laboratory approach.

She's dead, now, but I can still hear her speaking as though she were right next to me. "All they ever want to see or hear is something about the fucking Occupation." I could sympathize with my friend, standing next to her one hot summer afternoon, in front of her house near Kikar Hamedinah. If only they could stop expecting it of us. If only we could stop producing it ourselves. If only, I remember thinking on the drive home that night, it didn't need to be written about at all.
That was nine years ago. Yet, for the past year, I cannot help but hear Naomi's words again. Writing on the controversy over the selection of Beaufort for an Oscar over The Band's Visit, Tom Tugend indicated his preference for The Band 's Visit because he found it so much happier than Joseph Cedar's noir, anti-war drama.
Reprising the theme yet again in a review of Etgar Keret and Shira Geffen's award-winning Jellyfish, Ella Taylor describes the film as" belonging to a new breed of Israeli movies — domestic rather than political in focus, and formally more sophisticated than the realist war dramas and blunt comedies that until recently kept Israeli cinema in the boondocks of international cinema." As much as I would like to agree with both Tugend and Taylor, I'd be hard pressed to see the non-political in yet another new Israeli production.
One can sympathize with the impulse, though, to want to encounter Israeli culture as thought it were a reflection of something a little more peaceful than what it actually reflects. Indeed, to be able to experience it as such ought to be a goal; a consequence of a new state of affairs, in which it would be possible to make films that weren't necessarily about politics. However, to press such a position in a contemporary context is tantamount to pretending that form is equal to content.
Though both films are more narratively complex than traditional Israeli political films such as Amos Gitai's Kippur or Eran Riklis' Cup Final–and the politics more allegorical–the 'new' breed of Israeli filmmakers are no less political than their predecessors. They are also equally engaged. The difference is simply that the way they incorporate politics is more subtle, more organically ingrained in their narratives, rather than being structured around straightforward accounts of war. Take, for example, the fact that not a single character in Jellyfish is the least bit happy, and that their lives are consistently connected to death. Combine a young, suicidal waitress; a Filipina guest worker whose lot is consigned to attending to dead and dying elderly German women; and a young bride whose frustrated Russian-immigrant husband finds himself charmed by an older native Israeli writer who kills herself after giving the couple her suite on their honeymoon, and it's quite hard to argue that the ideologically-focused sensibilities of early Israeli cinema have somehow disappeared. The difference is that the collectivism of what may have once characterized the way politics expressed itself in Israeli film has changed. This is not to say that more traditional forms of political filmmaking have disappeared with directors like Etgar Keret substituting the literal for the metaphorical. If every character in a film about three women in Tel Aviv is confronted by death, does that not still say something about a common experience, a shared sense of fate? It may not be happier state of affairs expected of a film that's not about war, but the same fateful shadows we associate with conflict are still very much there.
If anything, Israeli film is in the process of diversifying the way it deals with the political. That is not something to see as a sign of stasis. It is, in fact ,something that ought to be celebrated, in the same way that my late friend might have embraced it as a necessary compromise. To the extent that any progress has been made away from the literalism which we associate with documenting conflict, at least now we've developed the capacity to deal with its immediacy and its after-effects in other ways. Ways which indulge the subtleties and the sophistication we associate with affluence, with an absence of conflict.

Branch offices: practical application of Method 6
In cases where there is a transaction value for the imported goods which is used as the basis for settlement between the Branch and its Head Office, this transfer value should be examined in the same way as a transfer price between related parties. Thus the aim should be to ensure that the transfer value equates to an 'arm's length' price and it is not influenced by the relationship between the Head Office and its Branch.
Where the importer can demonstrate that the Head Office is trading with its Branch on the same terms as it would trade with an unrelated customer operating at the same commercial level and purchasing in the same quantities, the intracompany transfer value may be used as the basis for determining the customs value under Method 6.
This approach is considered to be consistent with the principles and general provisions of the WTO Valuation Agreement. For administrative purposes it is regarded as the application of Method 1 flexibly.

CLAYTON, MO (KPLR) - Police are seeking the public's help in finding who killed a prominent community activist Tuesday morning in Riverview.
29-year-old rapper and activist, Darren Seals, has been identified as the man found inside a burning car Tuesday morning dead from a gunshot wound. Mya White is a local artist and fellow activist who knew Seals well.
"He was always a good support system for me" said White. "A great friend, a brother".
White met Seals during the height of protests in Ferguson following the killing of Michael Brown, Jr.
"Community, community, community" said White. "He was always promoting and reinforcing the principles of community" she said.
White says while Seals' approach to bringing about change may not have aligned with everyone, it was his dedication to the cause that is to be admired.
"Darren always spoke up for everyone else and it didn't matter in what way they lost their life he was just concerned that a life was lost and I think that that is the bigger picture" White said.
Police don't have suspects in the case and are asking the community to come forward with any information that could help.
"With the victim being who he is, he's been very prominent in the community, we're hoping this helps us out with people calling us because we want that to happen- we need to solve this together and without the communities help we're my going to be able to solve it" said St. Louis County Police Sergeant Shawn McGuire.

The Business Value Hierarchy:A strategic approach to cure underperformance
Jan 17 2019
6:00 pm
45 mins
Christopher Ryan, The B2B Revenue Growth Expert
Your mission is not just to generate more awareness, leads and revenue, but also to increase the financial and brand equity value of your company. To do this, you need to rise above the noise in the marketplace and truly understand your company's place in the customer's widening array of expectations.
Step one is to uncover the current value of your offerings to your customers and prospects (the existing state). Truth here is an absolute must.
You then need to protect and enhance your marketplace value by either being a top player (perhaps "the" top player) in your value category or better yet, launching yourself into a higher-value and more profitable category. Topics include:
How to find your current place on the Value Hierarchy Scale.
What four value measurements to capture and track.
How to identify and close your value gap.
Your best options for moving up the value scale.
You will learn how to:
1.Measure where you are in relation to your competition.
2.Achieve lasting competitive differentiation
3.Increase the financial and brand-equity value of your company.
4.Become a leader in your existing value category or catapult to the next category

How to Sell at "C" Level
Jan 15 2019
10:00 pm
45 mins
Steve Hall, The "C" Level Sales Expert
One of the biggest things that impacts sales productivity is insufficient access to senior decision makers – the C Suite – and one of the key things I get asked when I'm coaching my clients to help with their sales development is "how do we get access to people at "C" Level?"
There's little benefit in having a pipeline filled with deals where you're engaged with people too low in the food chain but that's what a lot of standard prospecting creates – meetings with people who may influence the decision but don't who sign off on it.
One of the best ways to impact sales acceleration is to start at the top – at executive or "C" level – and retain access while also working at lower levels in the organization.
Knowing which organizations to approach and which people in those organizations to target is aided by effective sales and marketing alignment.
This talk covers which organizations to target, which senior executives to target, what they care about, how to reach them, how to create a message that will compel them to talk to you, what to do when you get that critical first meeting and how to follow up.
You will learn:
1.Why you should sell to "C" Level
2.What "C" Level executives do and don't care about
3.Who to approach and how to approach them
4.How to prepare for, conduct & follow up an initial meeting

my young boys jumped into rock climbing the Summer of 2010. then hubby joined them. after a little prodding, i took the plunge myself. chalk bags have been my latest obsession. i've been playing around with different chalk bag creations since the Fall of 2010 - after my final design and creating, i sell them here.
i work hard to create one of a kind arty chalkbags. each one is created with wonder and passion. the chalkbag is my canvas. why not have a piece of functional artwork hanging off your harness... climbers are my traveling gallery.
climb with wild. climb with funky. climb with art.
i love words. i love fibers. i like mixing them together. making things is in my blood. i love to rock climb. and i love to stare at the sky. i'm my sweetheart's honey. i'm mama to my 4 littles. i daydream in my journal of poetic dribbles. i wonder. i ponder. i pray. i wander and sometimes i almost believe i can fly.
fiber-artist climber experimenting with different forms of fiber art in my chalk bag designs. i have tons of ideas that have yet to be fleshed out.
if there's an idea you have in mind - contact me for a CUSTOM ORDER - i'm happy to work with you on one.
climb on! rok on!

Nobody has written a book on caste and untouchability keeping in mind Western readers. This is first of its kind that sets forth documented details that normally are not available at one place with very well reasoned argument about their status, predicament and struggles. Oliver's book does that job with commendable expertise." -
Dr Kancha Ilaiah , Author "Why I Am Not a Hindu' and other books
Detailed, Extensive,
Structured As someone who has been supporting dalit children in India, I was looking forward to reading this book about the caste system and the dalits - the untouchables. The book surpassed my expectations on both counts. I have read other books on Dalits but most have been incomplete. It is extensively researched and everything written in it is supported by hard evidence.
Rob Richardson
(Texas, US)
An eye opening book on Dalits By reading this book one can become fully aware of the Caste System in detail and about the suffering of the dalits in India. I hope everyone takes the time to read this excellent book. I am looking forward to other works by the author in the future.
Willhem Bernhoff (Frankfurt, Germany)
Captivating book for all Truth Seekers!A extensive book. I have personally travelled to India and have involved myself with a couple of dalit outfits and got only basic exposure and learnt bits and pieces about them from the internet. I was surprised to learn the expanse of the caste system even in modern India and of the problems of the dalits. It is truly captivating for all truth seekers - it exposes the difficulties of the dalits in a matter-of-fact, straightforward approach.
John Wellinborough,
(Essex, United Kingdom)
Almost three thousand years after the caste system was created, and sixty after untouchability was banned in India, the caste system and untouchability remains as a cruel reality that impacts over 170 million Dalits. And it still takes courage and acumen to write the truth about it all. Oliver Dsouza has done an exceptional job in this book; a must read" -
