Pound Sterling Forecast Upgraded by Morgan Stanley as a Slowing Economy Tipped to Lead to Softer Brexit

British Pound forecast target lifted by Morgan Stanley who reckon the prospect of a more Sterling-friendly Brexit outcome has become possible because of a deterioration in the UK economy and persistent political instability.
- Pound to Euro exchange rate (19-7-17): 1 GBP = 1.1252 EUR, week's best: 1.1435, low: 1.1237
- Pound to Dollar exchange rate: 1 GBP = 1.3028 USD, week's best: 1.3126, low: 1.3004
One of the City of London's most prominent foreign exchange analysts has had a rethink about the whole Brexit-Pound debate and has come away a little more positive on the currency's prospects.
Hans W Redeker, a strategist with global financial services giant Morgan Stanley tells clients he is seeing a slightly more Pound-positive picture emerging because it appears the UK is headed for a 'softer-Brexit'.
The expectation for such an outcome comes amidst domestic political weakness and a slowing UK economy which are likely to place greater emphasis on the Government seeking a Brexit that works for business.
The Pound has over recent months moved as markets shift their expectations of the type of Brexit that will occur in 2019.
Typically a 'hard Brexit' is negative for Sterling, as is the suggestion of a 'disorderly Brexit' - the first sees the UK exit the single market and customs union; something the Pound has pretty much come to terms with.
The danger now lies with the 'disorderly Brexit' - a scenario where the UK crashes out of the single market without a transitional period. This is also sometimes referred to as a cliff-edge scenario.
For Redeker; the signs are that the UK will ultimately do whatever is necessary to avoid a cliff-edge Brexit.
And, he believes a hard-Brexit might be avoided; scenarios that are ultimately good for the Pound.
"Chancellor Hammond's suggestion of a multi-year transition period following Brexit and ex-PM Tony Blair's suggestion that, according to his information, the EU would be ready to provide the UK with some flexibility concerning immigration have increased hopes of the UK preventing a cliff edge when leaving the EU in March 2019," says Redeker.
Hammond told the Andrew Marr show on July 16 that senior members of the government are becoming convinced of the need for a phased British departure from the European Union to help protect the economy.
The comments might have been met with a more enthusiastic response by Sterling markets were it not for the fact that top ministers appear to be trying to undermine Hammond with confidential information concerning the Chancellor being slipped to the press.
This serves to remind markets that the UK leadership is unstable and political instability makes for a negative backdrop for Sterling which tends to react negatively to uncertainty.
There are talks of deep splits in cabinet with those favouring an hard-Brexit pitting themselves against those favouring a soft-Brexit.

But - a Slowing Economy Could be Good for the Pound
However, for Morgan Stanley, there are other reasons to believe things are looking up for the Pound.
Latest data suggest that the UK has moved from a G10 growth leader into a laggard with falling private investment arousing concern.
According to IHS Markit, UK business optimism has declined to its lowest level since 2011.
In June, the net balance of private sector firms expecting an upturn in business activity in the next 12 months fell to +35%, after rising sharply to +52% in February.
The fall in headline confidence was linked to "deepening concerns about the path to Brexit, a renewed wave of domestic political uncertainty and evidence of more subdued consumer spending".
A survey by the Confederation of British Industry showed 40% of businesses saying that Brexit had hit investment plans, with 98% citing a negative impact.
Surely this is negative for Sterling?
"Ironically, weak UK economic data works in favour of GBP for now," says Redeker. Particularly if weak data seem related to Brexit-related investment uncertainty, it may lead to a more constructive negotiation attitude on the part of the UK government."
For Morgan Stanley, a new front to watch is how a slowing economy forces ministers to pursue the most business-friendly type of Brexit possible.
"Friday's sharp GBP advance, while helped by weak US data, came with news of the UK accepting a Brexit bill," says Redeker.
The UK Government made their most explicit acceptance that a bill must be paid.
Chancellor Hammond used his appearance on the Andrew Marr Show to suggest the UK would stand up for its international obligations.
So the more the pressure grows on the UK, the more likely they are to cede to points that would see a softer-Brexit.
And the pressure is certainly growing.
Catherine McGuinness, the policy chief of London's financial district, has told Reuters that Britain and the EU must agree the outlines of any transition before the end of the year or it will be too late.
"Some firms in the sector have started relocating parts of their businesses overseas amid frustration at the lack of clarity about what any Brexit deal may look like," says McGuiness who says there is a risk up to 15 000 finance jobs might be lost to the continent.
Brexit talks will resume today and Morgan Stanley's Redeker says he is looking to see how the UK's increasingly constructive negotiation position is treated from
the EU side.
"It will not be an easy ride," warns the analyst.
The City's envoy to the EU reported that France is taking an increasingly tough position, in his opinion aiming to establish a detrimental outcome for London even if such an outcome were to weaken Europe on aggregate, and possibly result in it losing its current number one position as the globe's biggest supplier for financial services.
"Signs of other EU countries opposing France should work in favour of GBP too," notes Redeker.
Cabinet Reshuffle
And then there is the Prime Minister who is expected to discipline her top team, should this trend of misbehaviour continue.
PM May is expected to restore cabinet discipline, according to members of the 1922 Committee.
"Twice, Chancellor Hammond has fallen victim to cabinet meeting leaks. A potential government reshuffle possibly pushing Brexit Ministers aside could launch the next leg of the GBP rally," says Redeker.
So what does this mean for the Pound?
"Previously, we mentioned 1.32 for a corrective GBP/USD target. We lift this target to 1.33 to reflect recent developments," says Redeker.
Official GBP/USD forecasts see the exchange rate ending the year at 1.28 ahead of a gradual decline to 1.26 by March 2018 and 1.23 by mid-2018.
With regards to trade against the Euro, EUR/GBP is seen at 0.92 by the end of the year, 0.94 by March 2018 and 0.94 by June 2018.
This gives a Pound to Euro exchange rate of 1.0870 and 1.0638.

When am I going to learn that I am not that chubby 11 year old boy entering the sixth grade? I'm all about staying in touch with my "inner child", but there are some parts of him that I am really ready to let go of.

What are the Best Debt Consolidation Companies in Ryde CA
Who has the best Ryde debt consolidation services?
Ryde consolidation services offer a way of taking multiple debts and taking them all and wrapping them together into one payment. So if you have 5 different Ryde loans, each with a different interest rate and length, a Ryde debt consolidation loan will pay these off and then you will be left with one Ryde loan with a total on the loan of all the paid off loans. The best part is that these types of Ryde consolidation loans typically have lower interest rates than the ones you are getting rid of.
What is the best place in California to find Ryde credit consolidation lenders?
Search online for the best debt consolidation lenders in Ryde CA. The reason the best place to find Ryde debt consolidation lenders in California is because you will be able to find the right Ryde lender for you. Your local Ryde banks may not specialize in the right Ryde consolidation loans for you or have California lending standards that are too stringent. By searching for the best California debt consolidation loans online, you can assure yourself of getting the right Ryde loan.
More On Debt Consolidation Loans in Ryde CA
As I said above, prior to the credit crunch we had basically "easy money" whereby the Ryde banks were encouraged to lend to pretty much anyone in California with a pulse. As the economy tanked and their Ryde debts mounted, a large portion of these people who got easy credit are now looking for Ryde credit card counseling programs. These Ryde loans can be obtained but they are just like any other Ryde loan. Your California credit rating, your ability to repay the Ryde loan, an availability of collateral to secure the loan and the current Ryde bank policies on California lending will determine if you get a Ryde consolidation loan or not.
Where Is The Best Ryde Loan Consolidation Service?
As I discussed above, the typical Ryde loan consolidation service usually has a lower interest rate than the standard California loan that is putting you in the poor house. Be aware that just because you are in trouble with your Ryde monthly payments, does not mean that you will automatically get Ryde loan consolidation.
Where Can I find The Best Ryde Debt Consolidation Help?
I spoke of collateral before and this is a big aspect of why Ryde debt consolidation lenders may give you Ryde loan consolidation. Unsecured Ryde loans are the riskiest loans to give by a California lender. This is because if the Ryde loan is defaulted on, the bank cannot get the money back. By requiring collateral to provide security on a loan (as some Ryde banks do for Ryde debt consolidation loans) the bank reduces their risk for the loan. A secured Ryde loan allows the lender to offer the loan to you and then to offer the Ryde loan at a reduced interest rate. Be careful to make sure you pay off the Ryde credit card consolidation loan on time. If you were required to put up collateral and you default, the Ryde bank will take that collateral as a way to recoup their loss.

Study was done on Indian men moving to UK. If you read the study, their testosterone level side by side was 626ng/dl (for common units in use in USA...) in India, but only 496ng/dl in UK. The study's purpose was to try to say it didn't matter as their free testosterone was 14.4ng/dl for migrants, but for non-migrants even with higher sex hormone binding globulin, their free test was still higher at 16.9. They said this was insignificant, but anyone who can do math knows this is still almost 15% difference. It should also be noted, the highest total testosterone was significantly different as well, the highest in India was 678ng/dl, whereas the highest in UK was 539ng/dl, this is 20% different. For the lowest levels, interestingly for total testosterone, the lowest Indian level is almost as high as the than the average UK level, 447ng/dl, whereas Indian was 591.Abstract
Serum testosterone measurement is an integral part of the endocrine assessment of men. Little is known about its variation in relation to migration. We examined within a South Asian group the effect of migration to the UK on androgen levels.
Circulating testosterone and SHBG concentrations were measured in 97 Gujarati men resident in India and in 79 men from the same villages of origin living in Birmingham, UK. Free testosterone was calculated by Vermeulen's method. Insulin sensitivity (HOMA-S) was determined from paired fasting plasma intact insulin and glucose values.
Circulating testosterone was significantly lower in UK Gujarati men (17.2 nmol/l [15.7-18.7]) vs. Indian Gujarati men (21.7 [20.0-23.5]) (P = 0.0002) (age-adjusted median [95% CI]). There was no difference by migration status in circulating free testosterone. Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels were lower in UK migrants (16.8 nmol/l [15.5-18.1]) than in nonmigrants (21.9 nmol/l [20.5-23.3]) (P < 0.0001). Testosterone level correlated positively with insulin sensitivity (HOMA-S) (rho 0.16, P = 0.04). In multivariate analysis, total testosterone was independently and positively associated with logSHBG (normalized beta (beta) = 0.29, P = 0.002) and independently and negatively with waist circumference (beta = -0.19, P = 0.04), in a model also including height, age, migration status, leptin and fasting insulin.
Lower circulating testosterone in UK Gujarati men and its association with markers of insulin sensitivity suggest a profound influence of body composition change with migration on testosterone levels. The lower SHBG in this group restores parity in free testosterone. Account should be taken of SHBG in interpreting testosterone levels in men, as well as in women.
So this is something to really think about, you may well be risking your health in a Western country. Even this study tries to state it equalized somewhat with lower SHBG to counteract it, there still was differences in insulin sensitivity, body composition, and waist size. I know this study is about migration, but I think that's inaccurate, as it didn't measure them moving to say, Saudi Arabia, or any other country, so we can basically only assume this is about UK vs India for testosterone levels. So that's pretty shocking.
Anyway, Western countries apparently are bad for your health if you are a man. This could be a reason why everyone feels so depressed, etc, in USA, this simple biological reason.

He also ghostwrites articles for numerous major trade publications. our editorial process Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Jeremy Laukkonen Updated March 24, 2020 Cheats & Codes Consoles & PCs Cheats & Codes Gaming Services Game Play & Streaming Mobile Gaming Tweet Share Email Fortnite is a free-to-play game that you can play on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. It includes cooperative, competitive, and creative modes that all allow you to play with other people. If you prefer to game with friends instead of strangers, then you'll need to learn how to add friends on Fortnite. Playing With Friends on Fortnite When you play Fortnite on a console, you immediately have the option to play with friends who also use that same console. For example, if you're playing on Xbox One, you can invite your Xbox Live friends. In that same vein, PlayStation 4 players can invite their PlayStation Network friends. Fortnite is a cross-platform game, which means that PC players can play with Xbox players, Nintendo Switch players can play with mobile players, and so on. If you want to play with a friend who is using a different platform, then you need to add them through Fortnite or the Epic Games launcher PC app. When Fortnite launched, Sony prevented PlayStation 4 users from playing with Xbox One and Switch players. That prohibition is gone, so you really can add friends on Fortnite from any platform, regardless of which platform you're using. How to Add Friends on Fortnite Fortnite makes it pretty easy to send friend requests to friends on other platforms, and you can also send them to people you have played with recently. Here's how to add friends on Fortnite: Launch Fortnite, and create a Save the World, Battle Royale, or Creative lobby. The type of lobby you create doesn't matter. Friends added in Save the World mode are also available in Battle Royale, and vice versa. If you want to play the game as soon as your friend accepts your request, then create a lobby for the mode you want to play to save some time. Click or tap the friends icon that looks like human silhouettes if you're playing on PC or mobile. On Xbox One press the view button (looks like two boxes); on Nintendo Switch, press the - button; and on PlayStation 4, press the touchpad button. Click or tap ADD FRIENDS if you're playing on PC or mobile. Xbox One users, press X. Nintendo Switch users, press Y. PlayStation 4 users, press Square. Select the ENTER DISPLAY NAME OR EMAIL, and enter your friend's Epic Games display name or their email. Xbox One users can access this field by pressing A. Nintendo Switch users have to hit B. PlayStation 4 users have to hit X. You will also find suggested friends and recent players on this menu. If you want to send a friend request to someone you played Fortnite with recently, select them from this menu. If you enter your friend's display name or email address correctly, you will see a Friend Request Sent message. If your friend accepts the request, they will show up in your friends list in the EPIC FRIENDS section. Can You Add Fortnite Friends From Outside of Fortnite? When you add friends on Fortnite, you're adding them to your Epic Games account. Epic Games is the developer and publisher of Fortnite, and they have a PC app that acts as a launcher for the PC version of Fortnite and a store where you can buy other games. If you have a friend who plays Fortnite, and you want to add them to play later without actually launching Fortnite, you can use the Epic Games app on your PC. This way if you're playing a different game on your console you don't have to launch Fortnite just to add someone. Adding friends through the Epic launcher is a great way to easily play cross-platform with all your friends, regardless of whether they play on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, or mobile. To add a Fortnite friend through the Epic Games launcher, click Friends > Add a Friend > enter your friend's name or email > Send.

Would you want to look like your older sibling? Seems like the 307 had no choice, as four years after its debut the 307 gets a new face inspired by the controversially styled 407. The shorter bonnet, revised lights and larger grille bring the 307 face in line with the family look – which for Peugeot means a gaping mouth. While the look is not as uncomfortable as the 407's, especially on highly-specified models which gain horizontal chrome strips across the grille, you'd struggle to describe it as elegant.The redesign is not without merit though, as it does give the ageing 307 a more modern look, and the bigger light units make the frontal aspect look smaller, losing the frumpiness of the original design. Inside the changes aren't so dramatic; new dials, different heating controls and a plusher interior for the more basic models.In addition to the updates to the range Peugeot has introduced a luxury-cum-performance hatch version. The curiously labelled Feline gets the 2.0 180bhp engine, until now only available in the CC, 17" alloys, a rear spoiler and a leather-clad interior. Without the weight of the CC's folding roof the engine feels eager if not quick. But it's a shame the performance is achieved using a low-geared gearbox, which without a sixth gear makes the Feline buzzy at motorway speeds. With swathes of leather across the doors, seats and dash the cabin feels pleasantly upmarket and the revised dash layout is an improvement. But at £17,600 the Feline is an expensive luxury - especially when you consider the basic 307 architecture is four years old.Jamie Corstorphine

Phishing & Suspicious Email
What is Phishing?
Phishing is an online attempt to gain sensitive information (login info, credit card details, money, etc.) by pretending to be a trustworthy entity.
Spear Phishing is phishing that is targeted toward a specific individual or organization. Criminals are targeting you and other members of the SRU community with phishing schemes to trick you into revealing your personal information and SRU password. They are hoping to gain access to your personal and financial information, as well as sensitive university information and access to SRU resources.
Learn to Spot Phishing attempts
Malicious emails typically:
- Use urgent language and may ask you to validate, verify or update your account.
- Ask for personal information such as passwords, bank account numbers, user names and/or credit card numbers.
- May have grammatical, typographical, or other obvious errors.
Learn to recognize Phishy links:
- With your mouse, hover over the link to see the actual address where the link is directing you.
- Note the entire URL. Criminals may use pieces of legitimate URLs but not the exact thing.
How good are you at catching a Phish? Take this Phishing Quiz
Phishing Examples: What to Watch For
If you are questioning whether an email or web page is fraudulent, remember these two points:
- SRU will never ask you to validate your account or provide your password in an email.
- Compare examples of a fraudulent email and an email SRU actually sends to people.
This Email is a Fraud
Clues that indicate this email is fraudulent:
- It directs you to a non-SRU website. With your mouse, hover over the link to see the actual address where the link is directing you. In this case, the URL that the link goes to is an offsite location. Do not click the link if it looks wrong to you.
- It asks you to update your account or it will become inactive. SRU will never ask you to validate or verify your account. SRU accounts only become inactive when you leave the University and are no longer eligible for an account OR your account has been reported as compromised and disabled. Learn more about Compromised Accounts.
- The "From" address is fake. Although it says, "Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania", the actual email lists someone at "psu.edu" as the sender. Beware, because criminals can forge the "From" addresses to look real.
This Email is Safe
Clues that indicate this email is safe:
- It does not ask you to verify or validate anything.
- When you hover over the link, it directs you to our SRU web page.
- It does not ask you to click on a link to change your password.
If You Suspect a Phish
You can report suspicious emails:
- Phishes that appear to impersonate an SRU address or service. Phishing attempts will often impersonate SRU communications. If a phish contains an SRU email address, SRU logo or branding element, is addressed to students, faculty, and/or staff, or uses other key words targeting our SRU community, please report it. Send the entire message with full email headers to email@example.com.
Key Points to Remember
- Use caution with emails asking you for personal information.
- Be suspicious of any request for personal information.
- Verify that the request is legitimate before you provide any information.
- Do not send personal information via email.
If You Get Caught
If you gave personal information in response to a phishing email or on a suspicious web page, your account may be compromised.
- Change your SRU password and follow the instructions under "Compromised Accounts". Do NOT set your password back to something you have used previously.
- Carefully review any online account that may be vulnerable as a result of responding to the message.

Cutaneous Manifestations As the Initial Presentation of Ulcerative Colitis in the Post-Partum Period
Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2016, March 6-9, San Diego, Calif.
Abstract number: 781
Categories: Adult, Clinical Vignettes Abstracts
Case Presentation:
A 39 year old woman with a history of an uncomplicated pregnancy 3 months prior presented to the Emergency Department with recurrent crampy abdominal pain, poor appetite, and alternating constipation and diarrhea with tenesmus, lasting for 2 weeks. She was recently diagnosed with complicated mastitis due to persistent breast ulcers, and more recently developed genital ulcers. The breast and genital lesions were red, non-tender, and without drainage.
She was febrile, tachycardic, and hypotensive upon admission. Abdominal exam was notable for bilateral lower quadrant pain without rebound. Breast exam revealed a non-purulent, non-tender, erythematous ulcer sparing the areola. Genital exam showed a similar ulcer on the medial thigh. Initial labs revealed a WBC count of 8,800/uL, Hgb 9.4 g/dl, Na 127 mg/dl, creatinine 0.83 mg/dl, ESR of 73, CRP of 23. She was admitted for sepsis from cellulitis.
Antibiotics and IV fluids were started and infectious disease, gastroenterology, and dermatology were consulted; the latter performing a skin biopsy. On hospital day 2, the patient developed further hypotension that was nonresponsive to fluids. She was transferred to the ICU and had an abdominal CT scan showing pancolitis. Blood cultures became positive for Bacteroides and her lactate was acutely elevated at 7mmol/L. General surgery was consulted and performed an emergent exploratory laparotomy. Gross appearance was consistent with toxic megacolon requiring a total colectomy. Pathology read of her skin biopsy was consistent with pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), and colon consistent with ulcerative colitis (UC). The patient had slow clinical improvement postoperatively, and was discharged home 12 days after surgery.
UC is an autoimmune disease that commonly presents in early adulthood, often exacerbated by pregnancy including the post-partum period. PG occurs in 1-2% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and is rarely the initial presentation. In this patient, both the breast and genital lesions were thought to be PG while most cases present in the lower extremities. Attention to atypical presentations, timing of symptom onset and progression, along with early diagnosis was crucial as extensive colonic involvement portends a poor prognosis. This case demonstrates the importance of keeping a broad differential for presumed "cellulitis", especially in patients who fail to respond to empiric management.
PG is an under-recognized cause of skin lesions in otherwise healthy young patients. Diagnosis can be difficult, but autoimmune conditions must be considered when multiple organ systems appear to be affected. Timely identification and treatment of IBD will lead to disease control and avoidance of potentially life-threatening complications, like toxic megacolon. Early involvement of subspecialty services should be considered in these cases.

Tamil expats hold pro-LTTE rally in Los Angeles
By Hassina Leelarathna
(April 18, Los Angeles, CA , Sri Lanka Guardian) - LTTE operatives and supporters in Southern California are not known to hold public protests or demonstrations. They operate in the shadows, lobbying US lawmakers and raising funds in circles totally outside the Sri Lankan community's radar. In a move that signals they're pulling out all the stops in a last-ditch effort to breathe life into the now-vanquished Tigers , Sri Lankan Tamils stood today outside the Federal Building in Westwood carrying anti-Sri Lanka signs and distributing LTTE propaganda material.
Allegations of 'genocide' and 'civilian deaths' were the central theme of the protest in which about 130 Tamils participated – a not-too-shabby turnout on a working day.
The event's chief organizer was Mr. Ravindran Balasingham, a software engineer who has lived in the US for about 13 years. Balasingham, who had his young son by his side, said the rally was the outcome of several individuals spontaneously coming together to protest military action that was 'killing civilians.' He said the protests would continue in the coming weeks.
A man who identified himself only as 'Sivanesan' said the purpose of the protest was to call on the international community to put pressure on the Sri Lankan government for an 'immediate ceasefire' and to allow the presence of international observers and media at what he called were 'internment camps' in the Wanni.
"The US has a big role to play. We want President Obama to appoint a special envoy who will be sent to Sri Lanka to make sure there is a political solution. The safety of the civilians and the Tamil people is our biggest concern."
Asked why they don't call on the LTTE to let the civilians go, 'Sivanesan' gave the same slick answer often cited by the LTTE: "The civilians don't want to leave because they're afraid of the Sinhalese army. No one is holding them."
A thick booklet titled Humanitarian Crisis in Sri Lanka: We are knocking at your door with Our Wounded Hands, Will You Help Us? distributed to media showed a well-organized propaganda effort to paint a dire Rwanda-type situation of 'slaughter,' 'slave camps,' and 'death by starvation,' to mention a few of the outrageous, unsubstantiated allegations. Some of this material is credited to an unnamed 'Vanni correspondent' for Tamilnet, the LTTE's official online news organ.
The protest lasted about four hours.
An estimated 5000 Sri Lankan Tamils live in Southern California with a heavy concentration of older immigrants in Lancaster, about 70 miles north of the City of Los Angeles in the Antelope Valley. Most of today' protesters, however, appeared to be younger, recent arrivals.

Super-Pan 9 Baccarat – How to Play the Casino Card Game Online
You will find games of Super-Pan 9 with varying rules from one casino the next. We've seen some tables play with the 10s taken out and others that only have Ace-6 and face cards in play.
But the main goal and gameplay in Super-Pan 9 is thankfully quite similar to a game of regular baccarat. Each player is still meant to reach a total card score as close to 9 as possible.
The role of the banker and players are where the game differs slightly. Let's check it out.
Game Rules in Super-Pan 9
In the online version of Super-Pan 9, players take turns to shoulder the role of the banker. At the beginning of each game, one player gets designated as that role.
To open the game, all players except the banker must place wagers within the limits of the minimum/maximum bets that are specified per table.
Once bets are placed, everyone (banker included) is given 3 cards. According to their total card scores, each player can then choose to either stand or draw one more card.
The banker may only act after all other players have chosen whether to stand or take a hit. When playing online, player hands are all calculated automatically according to general baccarat rules & card values.
Here's where it gets interesting, at least for the banker.
- Player wins: 1:1 even money
- Banker wins: collects everyone's bets!
- Tie = push, everyone's bets are returned to them.
Card Values in Super-Pan 9
Just as a quick reminder in terms of Super-Pan 9 card values: these are the same as for regular baccarat. Once again, you'll find certain cards won't even be in play in versions of Super-Pan 9, like the 10 card.
- Ace: 1pt
- 2-9: face value
- 10: 0pts
- Face cards: 0pts
How to Optimize your Strategy in Super-Pan 9
The only real "strategy" that you can implement in Super-Pan 9 is choosing when to hit or stand. A little like in Blackjack.
"Hitting" here means to be dealt an additional card. Players are generally encouraged to hit if their total card score adds up to 0-5. If the score is between 6-9, then players should stand.
When it comes to the banker strategy, it all depends on what the players are doing.
If the player hits, you should hit at 0-5pts, and stand at 6-9pts. But if the player stands, then you should hit at 0-6 and stand at 7-9.

Your leads delete 48% of the emails they get every day (Source: Boomerang). Sadly, your quotation may suffer the same fate if it fails to catch the recipient's attention. That is why people created follow-up emails, which may redress this situation and turn your lead into a customer.
At NetHunt CRM, we've interviewed 2000+ sales reps who faced a 0-5% conversion rate on their sales prospecting email and figured out tips that make perfect email.
The next ten steps will teach you how to follow up on a quote and compose an email people would love to respond to. And once you learn how to draft a perfect follow-up email, you can become even more productive by automating this type of tasks in your Gmail.
1. Do Your Homework
Before you follow up on a sales quote, you have to make sure you are addressing the right person. Unfortunately, it's quite a common practice to send a proposal to such email addresses as email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com. Of course, you won't achieve your goal this way since you need to talk to a decision maker. That's why do research and understand who you should address to get your offer noticed.
See which factors influence the decision making the process and adjust your message so that it fits the current customer needs. You should know how long does the decision making process take, which information the company requires, etc. And don't be afraid to ask follow-up questions to get more information and establish good relationships.
2. Set Clear Objectives and CTA
Sending follow-ups to your perspective clients is a part of your sales pipeline. Therefore, the first question you should ask yourself is What am I trying to achieve with this quotation follow up email?
In case of a quote, the objective is generally to sell. Yet, when it comes to the follow-up, the goal may change. For instance, you may aim to provide more details, schedule a meeting with your prospect, or offer them a discount. So, pick the objective and craft your letter around it.
Your primary goal defines the call to action that you include to the email. Try to express the CTA as clear as possible, letting your lead know what you want from them. Some of the possible options may include:
- Invite a prospect to a product demo.
Let us schedule a product demo where I will explain how the product works and how it may benefit your business. What time is convenient for you?
- Offer a short call.
How about we schedule a short call to discuss all the details tomorrow at 5 pm? Is this time suitable for you?
- Add a link to your calendar, offering your lead to schedule a demo, call, or a meeting any time it is convenient for them.
I know that you may still have some questions about the product after our quotation. Please feel free to schedule a call, a meeting, or a demo with me any time you want. Here's my calendar, you can add a new event just in a couple of clicks: [link]
3. Include a Reference
As your prospect opens an email, they may not remember the initial offer instantly. Well, unless you cite your primary email with a quote. Remind your lead about the previous correspondence with such phrases as "Following up on the letter…" or "In reference to…". This way they will quickly catch up with the quote and hopefully continue the conversation.
4. Write Email Subject
Most of us choose whether we want to open an email or send it to trash based solely on the subject line. For that reason, you have only 2 seconds to impress a person and make them open your email when it gets to the inbox.
The first thing you should remember is that your subject line has to be precise and catchy. Don't make it too vague or too "salesy". Better point out how the content may be useful to the client (step 6 will give you an idea on how to do that).
According to Boomerang's study, the perfect subject line consists of 3-4 words. Moreover, they claim that subject lines written in all caps decreases response rate by 30%. So this is one more thing to keep in mind when composing a follow-up after you send a quotation.
DO: Cook like a Chef
5. Mind Your Length and Tone
Nobody likes to read long correspondence, right? The most effective emails contain between 50 and 125 words, which is actually the length of a short paragraph. Such follow-ups will allow you to express your idea and keep the prospect interested.
Besides, it is important to be consistent in your tone of voice. Of course, it may vary depending on the industry and a specific prospect that you lead. Yet, in most of the cases, the best choice would be to stick to a friendly but formal tone.
And one more important thing to keep in mind is the readability of your emails. Have you known that the simpler you write, the better response you get? Well, according to Boomerang, the optimal level of email readability is 3rd grade. So try not to overcomplicate things, okay?
6. Include Triggers
Psychological triggers allow you to bring your email campaigns to the next level. When writing a follow up email to a client after sending quotation, always include a couple of triggers to boost their interest and close the deal. Some of the most common ones include:
- Limited offer. Say that there is some limited amount of product left or it is a limited time offer.
Only 5 left in stock!
Sign up today and get a 10% discount.
- Bright future ahead. Articulate your lead's goal, so that they associate you with it and buy your product.
Live in a house of your dreams.
Travel more. Spend less.
- Simple way. If you facilitate something for your leads, there is a higher chance that they purchase from you. So make it simple!
Lose 10 kilos with only one exercise.
The easiest way to start a business online.
7. Choose a Perfect Timing
The best time for a follow-up email after the quotation is 3-5 days. Try to keep the balance: if you send it too early, you may scare the prospect away. But if you send it too late, you may also lose the lead as they will no longer care who you are.
But there are other metrics you should consider. The day of the week, the part of the day, and even the exact time matters.
- According to several studies, the best day to send out emails is Tuesday, followed by Wednesday and Thursday.
- People mostly look through their emails in the morning, so consider sending your proposals and follow-ups around 5 – 6 am.
- Random time looks much better than precise one. That's why if you are scheduling your emails for the future, don't set them for 6:00, better use something like 6:24.
But even if you fail to turn a lead into a client with the first follow-up, don't give up. A series of short reminders is a good practice. Create an email funnel and send out follow-ups in the right sequence once a week.
8. Use a CRM
To get more insights and constantly improve your results, use the customer management platform (CRM) that allows you to track views and interactions with the email. Among multiple amazing features, CRM helps you track if the addressee has already opened your letter and if they clicked on any links/attachments in it.
If you work in Gmail, the easiest way would be to implement a Gmail-based CRM system, which stores all the customer records within your inbox. In NetHunt, you can create customizable email campaigns and track their performance with built-in analytics. Besides, it allows you to see the performance of individual emails: the number of views and interactions.
Follow up is never the last step in your sales process, therefore CRM helps you map out the customer journey, see which leads need special attention and which deals are dragging for too long. Apart from that, CRM provides handy features to organize your daily workflow:
- Keep all leads in order and never lose a single lead.
- Create and monitor sales pipelines.
- Setup tailored and fully automated bulk emails and follow-ups.
- Keeping all customer details such as purchase history, the reason for their last call, etc.
- Timely reports and extensive data.
9. Provide Further Explanation
Of course, your lead may easily convert into a client from the first email opened. But who are we kidding, it's rather an exception than a rule. For this reason, be ready to persuade your lead that you're the best option in the market. For example, you may answer some additional questions, conduct a demo, or a personal meeting. You may also need to provide extra materials, so get ready to work.
10. Don't Push
Let's face it: people don't like saying "no". Mostly, they feel awkward and uncomfortable, and try to avoid this word as much as possible. That is why, if your prospect hasn't responded after several follow-up emails, accept the fact that they are not interested in your service.
Don't get upset as you have other leads who may convert into clients any time soon. Better make an extra effort to get them. Develop your email campaigns, conduct A/B testing, and never lose hope.
Sample of a Follow-up Email after Quotation
It's high time to get down to business. After all the theoretical part, you are finally ready to write your own follow-up email after quotation. We hope that our sample will help you with it.
Post Scriptum
The average email campaign open rate is 21.09% (Source: Mailchimp). Hopefully, with our advice, you'll be able to increase this rate and get more response. Using this simple technique, you have the opportunity to boost your sales and get higher response rates via email. You already know why and how, now, it is time to make it happen.

What is Bond Cleaning?
If you have not moved out of a rented home before than you may not understand what bond cleaning is or what's involved. Bond cleaning is also known as move out cleaning or end of lease cleaning depending on who you talk too. You'll find it is a mandatory requirement made by the property manager to the tenants, in order to receive their bond deposit back. It differs to one time and recurring house cleans as the aim is to clean the entire house in order to bring it back to a point where it is ready for a new tenant to move in.
Kamerunga is one of Cairns suburbs, with Cairns CBD at 10 kilometres to the southeast. Kamerunga has mostly farmland to the east, while the west is undeveloped bushland. The residences are picturesquely set in the central area.
Kamerunga has a lot to offer its locals and tourists. Among the public services and small businesses here, there are a Community Care Centre, a pet sitting shop, lots of schools, as well as plenty of restaurants and small boutique cafés. You can try Asian food, Italian food, as well as a variety of Western cuisine, and the accommodation provided by the many hotels and motels here is great.
There are a few important attractions in Kamerunga, like Kamerunga Island, with a 20-metre elevation above sea level. You can also visit Kamerunga Conservation Park, that's a bushland area. Also known as Stoney Creek Reserve, this place offers enchanting views of this tropical creek, making its way through the rainforest.
Harley Street North Park is another one of Kamerunga's leisure places. Located on Lower Freshwater Road, this park is perfect for nature observation. This is another bushland area, that's not really set up for tourists, but rather for conservation purposes. With all the endemic species of plants and animals, the tropical vegetation and fauna in this area, is representative for Queensland.

Turkey was central to the Eastern Roman Empire, and then the Ottoman Empire and has lived through turbulent times with conflicts, alliances and grand projects.
Further to the north, the Turkish coast shares with the Greek islands the vestiges of antiquity and the characteristic Mediterranean landscape: olive groves, port villages facing the clear waters of the inlets… On the western side of the Bosporus, between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, minarets and domes of former Ottoman palaces mark the outline of Istanbul's Golden Horn. The Romans called the city Constantinople when Hagia Sophia was built there, at the time themostmagnificent church in all of Christendom. Its monumental volumes, colorful marbles and mosaics inlaid in gold are still as awe-inspiring as ever. Nearly ten centuries later, the architect of the Blue Mosque, its neighbor, tried his best to surpass the beauty of the basilica — and at least equaled it.
Sitting in the shade with a glass of çay (the local tea) or a Turkish coffee whose grounds scour the tongue, this is the perfect vantage point for contemplating the slowly shifting tableau of ships on the strait. An endless rotation linking Europe to Asia that echoes the entranced whirling of the Sufi dervishes, whose rotation is intended to link the earth with the heavens. In Cappadocia, the mysticism is geological. Erosion has sculpted the volcanic rock of the central Anatolian plateau into otherworldly chimneys, canyons and caves in which the Byzantines painted frescoes, still preserved in a landscape frozen in time.

How Fault is Determined in California Car Accidents
UPDATED: February 5, 2014
It's all about you. We want to help you make the right legal decisions.
We strive to help you make confident law decisions. Finding trusted and reliable legal advice should be easy. This doesn't influence our content. Our opinions are our own.
There are two primary methods of determining fault for auto accidents in California. The first and oldest method is the common law theory of negligence. To show that the other driver is at fault using the common law theory of negligence, the injured party must show that the other driver didn't operate the vehicle with enough care, often using police reports, witness statements, and investigatory tools. The injured party must prove that the negligent actions of the other driver were the cause of the damage and injuries. The second main way that California accident fault is determined is by statute. If the driver of a car involved in a car accident violated the California Vehicle Code, then the driver will often be presumed negligent, which is called negligence "per se."
Determining Who Was at Fault by Proving Negligence
Determining fault by proving negligence in accidents in California began as a "common law" tort theory, meaning that over time the courts created the theory to find a way for an injured party to receive compensation from the party at fault. In modern times, the legislatures of California and other states have altered the theory of negligence by creating laws that change the way negligence is evaluated and proven.
To show that the other party was at fault for a California accident, the injured party must generally show that the other driver didn't operate their vehicle with an appropriate level of care. The standard by which drivers are judged is called the "reasonable person" standard. Every driver on the road has a duty to operate their vehicle with ordinary care, or in other words, every driver has a duty to use a reasonable amount of caution when operating their vehicle.
Injured parties in auto accidents in California must also show that the other driver "breached" their duty to drive with caution, or that they didn't use the level of caution or care required. The injured party must then prove that the negligence of the other driver was the cause of the accident, and that there was damage or injury that resulted from the negligence.
If the injured driver proves that the other driver didn't use the required amount of care in operating the vehicle and was therefore negligent, and that the negligence was the cause of the injuries, the injured driver will be entitled to compensation in the amount of their damages as a matter of law.
Determining Who Was at Fault by Showing Violation of a Statute
Another common way to determine fault is to determine whether either party violated California laws. If a driver violates a provision in the California Vehicle Code, for example, which then results in an accident, that driver can be considered "negligent per se," which means that he or she is presumed to be negligent or, again, is presumed to have failed to exercise enough care and caution in the operation of his or her vehicle. Negligence per se, like regular negligence, was originally a "common law" doctrine, meaning that judges designed it as a way to assign fault in accidents. In California, the negligence per se doctrine was adopted as a statute by the legislature and is represented in the California Evidence Code under Section 669. Basically, Section 669 just requires that the statute violated was designed to prevent accidents of the type that occurred.
It's fairly easy to show that a driver was negligent in a car accident when the driver violated the California Vehicle Code, as most of the statutes in the Vehicle Code were designed to prevent car accidents and protect other drivers. If a driver involved in an accident is presumed to be negligent, they essentially have to prove they weren't negligent or they will be held responsible for the accident. Often, the police report from the accident will state whether there is negligence on the part of a driver under the statute.
Comparative Negligence and Fault in California Accidents
An auto accident doesn't necessarily end when one party shows the other party was negligent. In California, as in many other states, the amount that a negligent party may be required to pay to the injured party can be reduced if the injured party contributed to the accident by acting negligently themselves. California operates under a pure comparative negligence theory of liability, which theoretically allows a party to collect money for their injuries even if they were 90% at fault for the accident. Pure comparative negligence works in California accidents by providing for the assignment of a certain percentage of fault to each party, then reducing the damages by that percentage. For example, if an injured party suffered $100,000 in hospital bills and pain and suffering, and was determined to be 90% at fault, the damage award would be reduced by 90% from $100,000 to $10,000.
If you were in a car accident, particularly if injuries were involved, be sure to contact a California attorney to help you sort through who was at fault and what, if any, compensation you can expect to recover. Your lawyer will discuss the details of the accident with you, carefully read police reports, negotiate with other attorneys or insurance adjusters on your behalf, and may hire an accident reconstructionist or an investigator if those resources are necessary.

- meadows, mainly in the Grosswoerth, where big reed beds cover the most humid ground
"Euphorbia palustris"
Aquatic areas :
- The Sauer and its different branches more or less connected to each other depending on the water level.
- Gravel pits excavated more recently.
Between these two distinct important types of environment there are mudflats that vary in size according to water level during flooding.
