April 8, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
15th July 2011
Ian Cowie blogs in the Daily Telegraph that immediately after News Corporation withdrew its bid for the broadcaster this week, the shares traded more than a fifth down than their peak of 850p before staging a partial recovery.
As a result, hundreds of thousands of savers with pension plans and some of the best-known unit trusts in Britain will have seen the value of their funds fall, the Daily Telegraph says.
Major asset managers including Fidelity, Scottish Equitable and AEGON admit they have more than £500m invested invested in the stock, says the report.
What are investors doing to limit losses?
The Financial Times (paywall) reports that pressure is growing among BSkyB's investors for some form of payback after the collapse of News Corp's proposed bid this week. It adds that most of those contacted by the Financial Times are calling for a special dividend.
The report says that the majority of the shorter-term shareholders, most of whom bought at a price between 750p and 800p, thought that a share buy-back would be the best move by the company if it was looking to compensate shareholders for the loss of a proposed bid that would have given them a premium of at least 50p to 100p to the current share price.
krisbei comments on the blog: "As a long term investment I get the impression that this is not a bad stock to hold. It may be a terrible one to sell today, but it gives respectable dividends and could become a target for another company, which could send the price shooting up again. "
Pressure is also growing on James Murdoch to step down as chairman of BSkyB as shareholders call for him to quit in the wake of the collapsed bid, reports the Independent.
The Co-operative Asset Management, which holds shares in Sky and News Corp, followed Pirc, the corporate governance adviser, in calling for the appointment of a chairman with no ties to the failed bidder.
The Daily Telegraph reports that Alan MacDougall of Pirc called for institutional investors to act to remove Mr Murdoch: "It is time for the board to review whether BSkyB and its shareholders would benefit from a new, independent chair. And if shareholders agree it is time for reform, they should say so."
He added: "Questionable governance practices have been tolerated at BSkyB for a long time, and unfortunately many shareholders have not effectively challenged them. That must change."
However, the Murdoch family controls almost 40pc of the voting rights, making it a major force in the company's management.
What do advisers say investors should do?
Advisers say that as a long-term investment, the stock has plenty of potential to recoup any losses.
Richard Hunter, head of UK equities at Hargreaves Lansdown says: "The withdrawal of the News Corp bid has certainly, for the moment, taken the wind out of the sails for the Sky share price. From a previous high of around 850p, with speculation intensifying that the company was holding out for 900p, the shares have fallen sharply – on Thursday standing at the initial bid approach of 700p per share.
"There is already a feeling that the withdrawal is for politically expedient purposes and that, at some point, News Corp will return to purchase the 60% of Sky it does not currently own. Meanwhile, Sky itself continues to power ahead, long since having passed its own target of 10 million customers. Its "triple play" offering of TV, telephony and broadband is still growing strongly, particularly the former where the introduction of HD TV has caught the public's imagination.
"Put together this means that the current market view is that the shares are a strong hold for existing investors and perhaps even a cautious buy for those with a more steely disposition."
The sinking share price demonstrates the value of portfolio diversification, says Gavin Haynes, investment director at IFA Whitechurch Securities.
He says: "The phone hacking scandal is best described as a "black swan" event from an investment perspective, in the damage it has caused to the BSkyB share price. What it does highlight is how stock specific risk can damage the value of your portfolio if you don't have sufficient diversification to dilute the risk. The fall would have been pretty painful for shareholders.
"Whilst investors in funds holding the stock would also have been affected, the diversification benefits of investing in collective investments would have helped limit losses. A fund with a 3% holding would have only seen a 0.6% fall in the value from a 20% fall in the share price – disappointing yes, but by no means disastrous."
Brian Dennehy from IFA Dennehy Weller & Co adds: "Takeovers always create volatility around a share price, but this has little or nothing to do with whether the company is a good long-term investment – it was just icing on the cake. No one should sell in the midst of the current mayhem if you bought them for the right reasons – allow the dust to settle."
What about a buying opportunity?
Smart Investor says on Citywire Money: "..many private investors wondered whether this could be 'another BP' – in other words the opportunity to buy a slice of a well-established, highly profitable company at what appeared to be a relatively low price."
He concludes on the blog: "Indeed BSkyB scores highly on performance, with an enviable free cash flow and impressive ROE. However it lives with high levels of debt and the current share price massively overstates the value of the company.
"So, is it worth taking a punt in case another, higher bid comes along in future? A better idea would be to invest in something which has performed well, is financially sound and offers good value – and stick to red or black for your punts."

Continental Cancer Institute
- Oncology revolves around the research, diagnosis and treatment of cancer, which is caused due to uncontrollable growth and division of cells.
- When old cells survive in the body instead of dying, and growth of new cells is hampered or advanced, cancerous tumors begin to form. These tumors can be Malignant or Benign.
- Malignant tumors can attack and damage neighboring healthy cells or develop new tumors away from the original location.
- Benign tumors are restricted to one location and do not spread aggressively.
- Cancer diagnosis is usually carried out by biopsy, CT & PET scanning, endoscopy and blood tests.
- There are more than 100 types of cancer, including breast cancer, skin cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer and lymphoma.
- Cancer treatment may include chemotherapy, radiation, and/or surgery.
The Continental Cancer Institute & Radiology Centre
- The Continental Cancer Institute & Radiology Centre is one of the best cancer hospitals in Hyderabad that employs collaborative, interdisciplinary approach towards identifying and treating cancer in all its forms.

Young people begins water drive for Flint residents
By St. Clair Murraine
Outlook staff writer
Hope Hall's role was simple – stand in front a podium among other young children holding bottles of drinking water to depict the message that they were about to deliver concerning the water crisis faced by residents of Flint, Mich.
The 10-year-old bespectacled fifth-grader at Bethel Christian Academy, stared straight ahead while other young people decried the situation at a mid-week press conference, where they announced their plans to collect 10,000 bottles of water to be taken to Flint. The effort is being led by the Youth Ministries of Bethel Missionary Baptist Church.
"What is happening to the residents of Flint, Mich., is appalling," Shanyia Evans, president of the BCA student government, said in a tone that belies her youth. "Dirty water to bathe in, cook with and drink; it should not happen to anyone, especially those living in the United States of America"
The water drive began last Saturday and will continue through March. The delivery to Flint is scheduled for the week of spring break. The drive will run every Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at BCA.
Hall wasn't at the mid-week press conference just to be part of the backdrop, though. She seemed proud to be a part of the effort to help others.
"We are trying to save their lives," she said. "I feel good because helping other people is my thing to do."
What could potentially happen without their help is a bothersome thought to Hall, who said she follows news reports of the crisis.
"I think that everyone in Flint, Mich., is going to die," she said. "I don't want them to die."
The bad water issue has become part of daily national news coverage for the past two months. That followed Gov. Rick Snyder's acknowledgement that pipes that funnel water to Flint have a high elevation of lead.
Black leaders across the country have been speaking out about the issue. Rev. R.B. Holmes, pastor at Bethel, took the initiative to start a youth movement for the water drive.
"I'm proud to help our people in Flint, Mich., with this water crisis," said Anthony Reaves, a senior at Leon High School, where he is a battalion executive officer for the Junior ROTC. "This mission means a lot to me because helping everyone is a big thing. This could have happened anywhere to the best of people."
Rev. Al Williams, who heads up Bethel's youth ministries, called what the residents of Flint face a "human injustice."
Williams said he finds it distressing to think that such a situation could happen in this country.
"Many families and children were suffering with the reality that they were using, bathing and cooking with contaminated water," Williams said.
"This can sometimes go overlooked and so these young people want to say they don't want this situation to be overlooked. They don't want people of a certain socioeconomic demographic to be overlooked because their family doesn't have the net worth of certain families in different area codes and zip codes."
Williams and Robyn Seniors, one of the others who spoke to the media, said they hope that their water drive sparks similar movements in other communities.
"This is a call to action," said Seniors, a junior at Chiles High School. "We are hoping that this can shed a light on other youths that we do have a voice. We can make a change (and) I'm excited about that."

text: Heavy Safes The weight of the safe plays an important role. Insurance companies, in most cases, will indicate the weight of the safe according to the type of the content. The most common requirements - safe weighing 13 kg or more for personal weapons, 51 kg or more for personal belongings, 250-330 kg for use in jewelry stores etc. Massive safes can range from 100 kg and up to a weight of 2-3 tons. The weight of the safe is, of course, not the only indicator of the quality of protection and there are additional factors that should be taken in account. However, weight is very important and seriously complicates burglary attempts. Series D and RS provide high quality solutions in terms of weight and additional protection. These are considered flagship series produced by the company. All safes are manufactured in Israel.

Answer: Cabbage is delicious, easy to find, and keto-friendly.
Crunchy with a light flavor, cabbage is an easy vegetable to incorporate into keto menus. It has tender leaves that are great in slaws or salads. Cabbage is also hearty enough to hold up in soups, stir-fries, or braises.
Green cabbage – maybe the most common variety in your local grocery store – has just over 3 g of net carbs per 100 g serving. This superfood is also packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as magnesium, antioxidants, fiber, and other nutrients. Savoy cabbage has about the same number of net carbs as green cabbage. Red cabbage is the one to skip, as it has 5.3 g of net carbs per serving.
The easiest ways to incorporate cabbage? Try making a vinegar-based coleslaw or salad, toss a handful into soup, or braise a few thick slices.

Bev Pantry, of Carmel College, asks :-
Why does the speed of sound in air increase with temperature?
John Campbell, a physicist at the University of Canterbury, responded.
Sound is transmitted as a pressure wave which moves through the material by the atoms jostling their neighbours. Solids and liquids are almost incompressable, which means that the atoms/molecules are touching one another and cannot get much closer. Hence a sound wave travels much faster through solids and liquids than through a gas. For example, 5100 metres per second in aluminium, 1500 m/s in water but only 330 m/s in air.
A gas is easily compressible, as we know from our use of hand-operated cycle pumps. If you take a liquid and turn it into gas the volume increases by about 700 times. That is close enough to 1000 (10 times 10 times 10). So each gas molecule is about 10 atomic diameters apart from its neighbours. Before a gas molecule can pass the wave to a neighbouring atom it spends time in transit. Therefore sound travels slower in gases than in liquids or solids.
For most of the time a gas molecule is travelling between collisions, surprisingly at a speed faster than sound travels in the gas. Although the molecule is travelling very fast, its direction after a collision with another gas molecule can be in any direction, forwards, sideways or even backwards. So the speed with which it progressess in general in the direction of the sound wave, ie the speed of sound in the gas, is less than the average instantaneous speed of the molecule which can be travelling in any direction.
The average speed of a gas molecule depends on its temperature. The higher the temperature the higher the kinetic energy of the molecule and hence the faster it travels and the sooner the molecule reaches its neighbour. Therefore, the higher the temperature of the gas the faster the speed of sound is through it.
For air the speed of sound increases by 0.6 metre per second for each degree Celsius rise in temperature of the air.
I remember hearing about the early days of research into the nature of the high altitude atmosphere. In the 1940s and 50s these altitudes could be cheaply reached using small rockets. An early technique for measuring the temperature of the high altitude air was to eject a hand grenade from the rocket. The delayed explosion was used as a sound source to measure the speed of sound reaching the rocket, and hence the temperature of the air the sound passed through.

Foster-Scholz Club
The Foster-Scholz Club was formed during the late sixties to provide an informal social group providing events for early Reed alumni in the local area. Its purposes included:
- to provide older alumni opportunities to maintain and renew ties to the college as it has evolved;
- to provide a setting for fellowship among older alumni;
- to create a group that would honor the 50th and other early reunion classes.
The club was named for the first two presidents of the college and has included alumni from the beginning of Reed's history (class of 1915) through the most recent 40th reunion class, as well as a small group of honorary members.
The Foster-Scholz Club has traditionally met about four times a year. Programs have included speakers, usually from the college (faculty, students, or staff); workshops; and occasionally, off-campus outings.
The last event of the year is traditionally the annual luncheon, held during Reunions in June. This luncheon honors the 50th reunion class as special guests; also, the distinguished service award is given to one or more club members who have made contributions to the community and/or college. The history of the award and a full list of past recipients is available from the Office of the President.
For more information, please call the alumni relations at 503/777-7589 or send email to email@example.com.
To contact the steering committee you can look up individual members using the alumni directory in IRIS.

A federal court has ruled that banks can't foreclose on surviving spouses of reverse mortgage holders when they are not able to pay off the mortgage upon their spouse's passing. The ruling should lead to regulatory changes that will help surviving spouses stay in their homes even if they are not included on the reverse mortgage paperwork.
Previously, if only one spouse's name was on a reverse mortgage and that spouse died, the surviving spouse has been required to either pay for the house outright or move out. This might happen if one spouse is under age 62 and ineligible to sign the mortgage, while some lenders actually encouraged couples to put only the older spouse on the mortgage because the couple could borrow more money that way.
With the housing downturn, however, many homes are worth less than the balance due on the reverse mortgage, meaning that the non-signing spouse cannot repay the loan and faces eviction.
AARP sued the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") on behalf of three surviving spouses who faced imminent foreclosure and eviction from their homes. AARP charged that in not protecting spouses from foreclosure, HUD was violating federal law. In a decision issued September 30, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia agreed with AARP and told HUD to find a way to shield surviving spouses from foreclosure and eviction.
"The decision marks a turning point for surviving spouses such as our clients and ensures that they will receive the protections guaranteed by the law: that they will be able to remain in their homes, despite the loss of their husband or wife," said Jean Constantine-Davis, a senior attorney with AARP Foundation Litigation.
It's not clear yet how HUD will correct the problem, however. So, in the meantime, AARP still discourages aging couples from doing a reverse mortgage that leaves one spouse off of the paperwork, at least until it is clear what HUD will do to fix the problem.

Practicing mindfulness is really about paying attention to the little things in your life. The nice thing about it is that you can practice one minute at a time. You don't have to set aside hours of your day just to be mindful. You can be mindful every single minute of the day if you choose to be.
One of the easiest ways to do this is to take advantage of all the small moments where you're doing something that you might think of as a mindless task. By being mindful of what you're doing in these moments, you can grow your mindfulness practice a little bit more each day.
Here are 20 opportunities to be mindful that you may not have thought of.
1. Focus on your breathing when you wake up in the morning.
Feel each breath. After a few minutes, get up and see how long you can be mindful of your grooming activities.
2. Practice body awareness in the shower.
Feel the water touching every part of your body. Focus on how it feels.
3. Flossing your teeth.
Many people forget to floss. Now is a good time to incorporate it into your routine. Being mindful makes it easier to develop new habits.
4. Observe your thoughts while driving.
Are you thinking about driving or worrying about work?
5. When you're outside, notice the weather.
Describe it to yourself. What do you see and hear? How does the air smell?
6. Practice good listening skills.
Are you intently listening to the person who is speaking or are you thinking about something else?
7. When you're eating.
Focus on both the taste and texture of your food. How does it feel in your mouth?
8. Practice your focus.
Time yourself and see how long you can focus your thoughts on one object in your environment.
9. Pick a worthwhile activity that's outside your comfort zone.
Do it and see if you can focus without experiencing negative emotions.
10. Practice meditating in the bathroom.
It might be the only peaceful time in your day.
11. Observe the person standing in front of you in line.
Describe them in complete detail to yourself. See if you can complete the activity without having your attention wander.
12. Find a quiet place and do nothing for 10 minutes.
Let your thoughts wander and observe your thinking.
13. Breathe.
Focus on your breathing for 5 minutes each hour.
14. Think about a person you dislike.
Notice the changes in your body as a result of these feelings. Now let go of those negative emotions.
15. Slow down.
It's easier to focus when you're not being rushed. Think about this saying, "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast."
16. Exercise.
Pay attention your body and thoughts while exercising.
17. In traffic.
When you're sitting at a red light, watch the light until it changes.
18. While you're in pain.
Focus on the pain and notice what happens to the pain. Now focus on your environment and notice what happens to the pain. (But, by all means, get medical attention if you need it.)
19. When you're falling asleep at night.
In bed, count your breaths until you fall asleep. In the morning, ask yourself the last number you remember.
20. While you are sleeping.
See how long it takes to become mindful in your dreams. Our thought patterns in everyday life tend to stick with us in our dreams.
Final thoughts
As you can see, there are opporunities to be mindful throughout your day. From waking to sleeping, before more mindful of your thoughts and actions can help you be more energetic, more productive, and less stressed.
What do you think? What other times during your day could you take the opportunity to be more mindful?

We have been to Los Olivos before but not had the experience of a penthouse apartment. So for a change we decided to book one as I really wanted some sunshine and had been told that with the second rear terrace we would have sun all day long.
That was absolutely true and as I intended to spend most of my time on a sun lounger it was a real bonus. Apart from venturing to the indoor pool and my favourite restaurants I did not leave my terrace. It was good to see some new places to eat at La Manga Club and some in the nearby village, Los Belones.
It was a great short break and we just enjoyed the luxury of our Los Olivos apartment, blue skies and good food, can not really ask for more.
Los Olivos 2 Bedroom Penthouse Apartment La Manga , Recommended Restaurants in La Manga ,
Having read so much about the Los Olivos properties at La Manga Club I was tempted to book one for a change and as it was a special birthday to treat myself to a top floor penthouse apartment.
I was really pleased when I arrived to discover that it was as spacious as described and the views fabulous, as promised. You get great views from all of the apartments but I did enjoy being on the top floor because we had two terraces, front and back, so you will get the sun all day long.
The tennis courts are just a stones throw away and you can walk to either of the supermarkets with ease.
Only negative I would say is that they are not suitable for those with young children. The stairs up to the apartment and the stairs inside to the second terrace would not be good to have to contend with. Definitely opt for a ground or middle floor if you have little ones.

Luxury Los Olivos 2 Bedroom Apartment at La Manga Club ,
The thought of staying in a penthouse apartment was very appealing and something different from our usual choice of holiday accommodation. We chose to go and try La Manga Club and a Monte Verde penthouse apartment as they looked spacious and with nice large terraces for eating and cooking outside. We have been to other resorts in the same area in Spain.
We were not disappointed when we arrived and the people who look after the property were very welcoming and pointed us in the right direction for shopping and eating out. We enjoyed walking around La Manga Club and have to say everywhere was very well maintained. We managed a round of golf which was a little expensive but very enjoyable.
Unfortunately I had to visit one of the pharmacies, I understand there are two, during my stay and must say how fantastic the staff were. They could not have been more helpful and spoke excellent English. I went to the one opposite the petrol station. I think it is very reassuring to know that such a good service is on site and available.
Thank you for a great holiday.

La Manga is a very well-maintained resort with a range of amenities and activities to suit all ages. Its in a convenenient location, easily accessible from the airport and from the main shopping town of Murcia. The resort is a mix of privately-owned and corporately owned complexes with their own, swimming pools, with some even having their own poolside bar and restaurant.
Within some of these complexes are further shops and restaurants, with even more available in the purpose built areas, and even access to its own private beach. There is so much available, that there is no need to even go off-site.
For the sporting enthusiastic, there are tennis academies, football academies and championship golf courses, suitable for all ages and abilities. For those wanting a little more in the way of pampering and relaxation, there are also fantastic spa and beauty facilities as well as high-quality retail outlets. The owners pay a management service agency to maintain their properties, and they're certainly done to a very high standard. Accommodation is flexible enough for couples, small families and larger gatherings and ranges from flats in lively communities to a more secluded villa. All in all, having visited La Manga several times, I would not hesitate to recommend it. My favourite community is the Los Olivos area, which has great accommodation, 3 swimming pools and just a few minutes walk from the tennis centre.

This is the third time we have stayed in Los Olivos and we selected a penthouse this year. We had a great holiday as usual and the apartment was fantastic, but not 100% sure the penthouses are worth the extra cost. It was great to have the the use of the extra terrace but we only used it once during the the whole week. Would definately recommend Los Olivos and La Manga Club to all - the location and views are the best and the large terraces are special.

Infested and Out Of Control Lemon Tree
Hello, I found your website while looking for solutions for Citrus mites. My lemon tree has a severe Citrus mite problem and has had one since I took the property over years ago. I will attempt to make my own White Oil and see if I can correct the issue. I assume the black residue on the branches and leaves is also from the mites? My question is regarding pruning. The previous owner allowed the tree to get very big. It is very large and needs to be cut back significantly so it doesn't climb up the house. I read your article that states not to prune more than a certain amount, however, I'm not concerned with losing the crop this year due to the mite issue. Is it okay to cut the leader and scaffolds to a more manageable height/size? Do you have any suggestions for this kind of major pruning?
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
You can do this relatively safely, even with improper pruning with little harm. In response, the tree will send up many small shoots that you will need to keep pruned in order to keep the tree manageable. This is best done right before the tree starts to grow vigorously for the year.

Besides the poker game there was a cocktail party and appetizer buffet for mingling, and donations were taken directly to support Breast Cancer Research, with players encouraged to "Go All In for the Cure".

Earthquake Expert
There are those days you will never forget. They stay with you forever. Not that we always want to, but they do. Just take a second. While reading this, I'm sure something is popping up in your head 'while we speak' so to speak. And for your sake, I surely hope so. No life can possibly be so boring that it has not one moment of deep hardship or glorious fortune, not one moment of lonely obscurity or unbridled fame; not one moment that you will always remember. All that to say: today was just one of those days.
It started off normal: an early morning cup of tea with a little cloud of milk; an orange juice. The kids -who normally sleep a black hole in the day- had just surprised mum for her birthday: a dim sum breakfast in Shangri-La's Shang Palace. One day late, but so early that it was hardly noticeable. It was just after 8 when the rumbling started and our normal day ended. First we thought it was the street cleaner with his new noisy cart. Then a truck. A very heavy truck. But when doors and everything else started trembling and shaking, we knew an earthquake was on the way. Memories of the 2008 quake popped up -surprisingly similar, really: the cart that became a truck that became a very heavy truck that became a startling immobilizing shake, it came all back again- and we were all rushing out to leave the building. No need to duck for cover: our 100-year old worm-eaten table already cracks when a fly lands on it. And the door was near. The street and parking lot in front of our house was soon filled with people in their pajamas. Some were only half dressed. Some not at all.
After a few minutes and some calls -the phones were still working- and we realized that this earthquake was less severe than in 2008 and when the worse had passed, we went back inside. Back to normal, or so we thought.
We got ready and drove off to downtown. With a bit of luck, we could be eating our much anticipated breakfast by 9. But we had no luck. We did have traffic jams. Many traffic jams. It was obvious that we weren't the only one up this early. Ambulances were heading the opposite direction, but like us, weren't really going anywhere. Traffic didn't move and surely not for an ambulance or two. By now, we had learned that the epicenter of this earthquake was in Lushan, near Ya-an, about 115 km south of Chengdu. Boaxing, a county in the first mountain ranges of the Tibetan Plateau that we had often visited and in which valleys we had walked and camped, was also heavily hit. But with a magnitude of 6.6, the quake was still one fiftieth in strength of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Nevertheless, many people had died and even more were wounded or unaccounted for and the damage in a radius of about 25 km around the epicenter was enormous.
But there was nothing we could possibly do and thus we focused on getting our breakfast. Time passed, hunger grew and hope shrank. Just after 12, we took our table. We decided to call it lunch. A dim sum lunch. And for a fleeting moment, we enjoyed a normality. Eat. Chitchat. Eat. Chitchat. Eat. Until the phone rang.
"is this Mr. Dorgelo?"
"Yes. Speaking."
"I am calling from CCTV-Beijing. We are operating China's national TV-stations."
I knew very well what the CCTV -the China Central Television- was; their new skyscraper in the center of Beijing had caused its own social earthquake when it became apparent that historic hutongs had to be bulldozed and the unexpected costs in renminbe had risen far beyond the building's height in centimeters. It was now called the dà kùchǎ, 'big boxer shorts', and home to the Party's main 'communication' tool: TV-stations.
"I am working for the news department and I would like to know if you are available for an interview."
"Excuse me?"
"Did my colleague not call you earlier?"
"No. How did you get my phone number?"
"From a colleague."
"You are Mr. Dorgelo, living in Chengdu, are you not?"
"Yes. I….."
"And you are the earthquake expert. Mr. Dorgelo, could you, as an earthquake expert give us and our viewers your first professional impression about this latest earthquake?"
"Ahem, Miss CCTV, I can hardly call myself an expert."
"Oh, you most certainly are."
"Madam, listen! I don't know how you got my name and cell phone number but your intelligence department must have suffered a mix up. My expertise -as you call it- is limited to the experience of the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008. Believe me, there must be a mix up!"
"But you are …."
"Yes, I am who I am -who you say I am, but I am not the expert you are looking for and need."
"I'm sorry."
"So am I, really. Good afternoon, madam."
"Thank you. Yes, good afternoon."
I'm not sure, but just before I hung up, I thought I heard Miss CCTV explain to her audience that her expert was mixed up. But as I said, I'm not sure.
Later that afternoon I received another phone call from Beijing. This time it was the China Daily. Now I really started to doubt myself: maybe I was the expert they were all looking for after all. I couldn't help to feel a pinch of disappointment when I realized that this time it was just a friend who works for the Daily.
"Did CCTV call you?"
"Yes, how do you know?"
"I gave them your number. I wanted to call you earlier but couldn't get a hold of you. They wanted to speak with an expat who had also experienced the 2008 earthquake."
Silence. An expat with 2008 earthquake experience. An expert with earthquake expertise. Two pairs of words so different, but when spoken by a Chinese, so similar. Two words away from China-wide unbridled fame! Two words away from 1.3 billion people. Oh, how clearly I now understand China's princeling-yups' fighting for a celebrity status, whatever it takes. And the soon-to-be king of the Netherlands -KING Willem-Alexander, how good that sounds!- who, in an interview that even reached China, can be heard saying: "I'll accept everything. That's why I am king. And if my signature is needed, then I'll sign." Oh yes, what we do for fame. Two words. Two words only.
"Steven, are you there?"
"Yes,… yes, I am there –here, I mean."
"It must have been a mix up", he continued, "They had 2 piles of contacts to work with: one for interviewing expats, the other for experts. You must have ended up on the expert pile."
"Tell me, John, the interview was live, wasn't it?"

Very well written. Great article. As a former ex-pat of South Korea and Saudi Arabia, I've had similar experiences.

I am pretty sure, this was all my fault some how
I became a Corn Husker unexpectedly in 1997. At that time I was of the opinion that NCAA football was pretty pointless, based largely on my Golden Gophers alum background.
Real Football happens on Sunday.
What an education you all gave me!!!
The magnificent feeling of anticipation on Game Day, and the glowing pride that radiated from every single red-dressed Nebraska body was simply intoxicating! I guess it was the first time I had ever encountered such a feeling of extreme Community.
I drank the Kool-Aid and I liked it!!
It was like; "Man I am proud to be an American, but even better yet, I am a Nebraskan!"
..and, just wait until you see, what a real Football team is capable of:
We are the Big Red Machine - Fear Us!
That was 1997 Remember?
Then came 1998
1998 25 years of tradition and excellence watched the retirement of our legendary Coach Tom Osborne, and I really didn't think much about it at the time. Hey, no big deal, this is Nebraska! Just being here pretty much guarantees excellent football, it is all that corn and fresh water.
Things were so great here, for 25 years and then I show up, and right down the tube it goes. I mean Solich, then ...Callahan ..ugh..
Last Year 2007, was the most depressing, embarrassing, infuriating display of incompetence .. Nebraska shirts were in the bargain bins. The red was disappearing from Game Day.
Ok, we needed a miracle, and we got one - back from retirement
The one that created the legacy of Nebraska Football
and with his leadership we convinced Bo Pelini to return to Nebraska as our head coach!!
That leads us up to this Saturday, 8/30 at 6PM
Oh, man - I want this to work
I want my Game Days Back!!!
Bring It On!

Mission Minute: May Update
We recently celebrated our second wedding anniversary and were excited to look back at the year that had been. We've had some great times of joy, some significant times of sadness and some times where we've felt overwhelmed by everything we've had going on, but God has stayed faithful throughout it all. How have you seen God's faithfulness recently?
"Do you want my old ipad?" Nicolle's brother, Marcus, casually said as we were back in Sydney over the Christmas break. "I guess we could probably use it on campus sometimes" we thought, and gratefully took it. A week later we were at our national missionary conference and Nicolle was challenged to participate in an on- campus trial using an evangelism tool called 'The Parting Gift', a short Jilm developed by our Jilm strategy in Melbourne. Knowing that she now had a handy iPad, she agreed. Fast forward 4 weeks and Nicolle was trying to reach her goal of using The Parting Gift 20 times by the end of March. Out on a usual hour of evangelism with her team leader, Taryn, Nicolle approached a young Australian girl named Olivia to share The Parting Gift.

A child predator who used Facebook and Snapchat to lure a 16-year-old girl from Lindfield to fly to Los Angeles so he could sexually abuse her has been sentenced to 35 years' jail in the United States.
Sean Price, 40, from Queens, New York, started sending daily messages to the girl on Facebook in 2016. He coaxed the teenager to leave without her parents' knowledge and, in March 2017, paid for her flights.
A few weeks later she flew on a return-trip ticket from Sydney to Los Angeles where Price was waiting for her. They rented a car and drove across the US to Price's home in Jamaica, Queens.
Price admitted they had sex during the cross-country trip and while they were in New York.
The teen was reported missing by her family in April 2017.
On May 12, New York police officers visited the house Price shared with his mother after receiving a tip-off from Australian police that the girl had boarded a plane from Sydney to Los Angeles on April 11. The officers caught Price and the girl hiding in the basement.
The girl's mother said in a submission to the US District Court that her daughter was traumatised and her family continued to struggle with the aftermath of Price's actions.
Price was found guilty in December 2017 of charges including interstate and foreign enticement to engage in sexual activity and attempted sexual exploitation of a child. He was sentenced on Friday.
US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Richard Donoghue, thanked NSW Police, the Australian Federal Police and the New York Police Department for their help with the investigation.
"Sean Price preyed upon the vulnerabilities of a young teenage girl, luring her across the world and away from her home for his own illicit purposes," Mr Donoghue said.
Federal police acting Commander Joanne Cameron said the case highlighted the reality that children could be communicating online with complete strangers who may be trying to prey on them.
"When our kids are online, we are helping them to discover the wealth of information out there – and this access to technology should never be discouraged," she said.
"But what we would encourage is for parents to be alive to the risks and to educate themselves, and their kids, about them."
Price reportedly has a lengthy criminal history, including 11 prior convictions dating back to 1990.
In 1995 he was jailed for criminally negligent homicide after crashing a car at high speed, killing a passenger.
He also had convictions for robbery, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, criminal trespass, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a controlled substance, US Assistant Attorney Monica Castro told the court, Daily News reported.
Price had a young daughter with his estranged wife, Rhyse Price, and played stepfather to her other daughter from a previous relationship.
"This is horrifying", she told The Mail Online in May last year. "I am broken for my four-year-old daughter. She adores [her father] despite his absence."
North Shore Police Area Commander Detective Superintendent Allan Sicard said the use of the internet by predators was "an emerging trend and growing exponentially" because the web is so widely used by people of all ages.
"This is a timely reminder for all parents to spend time talking to your children about the dangers associated with online conversations, particularly when communicating with someone they have only ever met online," he said.
The ThinkUKnow online safety education program has been developed with state and federal police input to help keep children safe online.
