The chairman of the Senate Banking Committee is drafting sweeping regulatory relief legislation that could be the biggest overhaul to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act since it was passed, and may include provisions raising the SIFI bank threshold from $50 billion to $500 billion, altering the $10 billion threshold, and targeting specific GSE changes.
Sen. Richard Shelby's, R-Ala., bill would free smaller lenders from the heavy capital requirements and strict oversight currently enforced against the big banks.
The bill includes a provision that would increase the Dodd-Frank Act's $10 billion lender-size threshold to $50 billion. The dollar size on the threshold is based on assets held by the financial institution.
A client note from Compass Point Research & Trading says the shift in the $10 billion threshold would ease compliance burdens, such as supervision from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Durbin Amendment and likely result in increased M&A.
"While Sen. Shelby's package may include a provision altering the $10 billion threshold, our view remains that Congress is unlikely to alter the Dodd-Frank Act's $10B threshold as it is interwoven into the law's fabric and Democrats appear committed to protecting CFPB supervision authority," Compass Point said in the note.
The Senate regulatory relief package may also include a number of GSE proposals, analysts say.
"Given the inherently complicated nature of GSE reform, our sense is that if Senator Shelby's package does include GSE measures it will likely focus on peripheral issues such as CEO compensation at the GSEs, efforts to expand the Common Securitization Platform's reach, and Sen. Corker's 'Jumpstart GSE Reform' amendment," Compass Point says.
Of these proposals, analysts say, the "Jumpstart GSE Reform" amendment is the most notable as it would explicitly prohibit the U.S. Treasury Department from selling, transferring, relinquishing, divesting, or in any way disposing of its senior preferred stock holdings in the GSEs.
Passage of the Corker amendment would be viewed as a negative event for current GSE shareholders as it would foreclose on an administrative path for action and leave the issue squarely in the hands of Congress where it would surely languish until 2017 at the earliest.
Last month in a Senate committee hearing on mortgage lending, Shelby expressed his criticism of how Dodd-Frank has impacted mortgage lending.
"Five years after a sweeping new regulatory framework altered the mortgage market in unprecedented ways, it is time to re-examine its effectiveness and consequences. Dodd-Frank's stated intent is to protect consumers, but some of the regulations promulgated in response to the law have gone so far that they may actually prevent qualified consumers from owning a home," Shelby said. "And, borrowers who are able to qualify for mortgages today may face an increased cost of credit due to these rules.
"While record-low mortgage rates in recent years may have balanced out an increased cost of mortgage credit due to new regulatory requirements, this trend will not continue indefinitely. When interest rates rise, I believe that the impact of these new rules and regulations on homeownership will be clear," Shelby said.
Compass Point also says that Shelby's package will possibly include a provision increasing the $50 billion SIFI threshold to $500 billion while maintaining some degree of FSOC review.
"While we await the details, our initial read of this news is mixed. On the one hand, we believe that the use of a hybrid quantitative/qualitative approach for the SIFI bank threshold is the best mechanism for securing bipartisan support. On the other hand, we continue to believe that setting the quantitative threshold at $500 billion is politically unpalatable and instead view $250 billion as more realistic," they say.
The Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to mark-up the regulatory relief bill on May 14.
Compass Point suggests three possible outcomes.
- Aggressive Mark-Up. Sen. Shelby could hold a mark-up on May 14 with a more aggressive package that raises the SIFI threshold to $500B and the $10B threshold to $50B. In our view, holding a mark-up on the aggressive package would likely result in committee passage without the support of moderate Democrats which would make floor passage far more difficult. At that point, Sen. Shelby would likely rely on the appropriations process as an avenue of passage for selected elements of the broader regulatory relief package.
- Moderate Mark-Up. Sen. Shelby could hold a mark-up on May 14 with a softened version of the reported bill that would set the SIFI bank threshold at $250 billion and drop the $10 billion threshold change. In our view, holding a mark-up on a softened regulatory relief package would be a positive for the broader effort as doing so would likely gain the support of a number of moderate Democrats and thereby keep hope alive for floor passage.
- Mark-Up Delay. Sen. Shelby could delay the mark-up in order to negotiate with Democrats in the hopes of crafting a more bipartisan package. While a mark-up delay would likely be framed as a positive development given the prospects for more negotiations, we would view it as a negative given the remaining concerns and calendar constraints.

text: MSCI A Share inclusion - symbolic rather than significant Mark Williams MSCI's inclusion of China A Shares(1) in its indices is symbolic but not immediately significant. The short-term impact on indices will be minimal. We currently hold no A Shares within the Fund, as we believe we can find better opportunities elsewhere. However, we expect this mainland market to become more representative of fundamentals in the future, which would increase the chance of us finding more attractive investments there. The Chinese A Share market by many measures is one the biggest in the world. The two mainland exchanges for A Shares, Shanghai and Shenzhen, have market capitalisations of US$5.1tn and US$3.1tn respectively (source: World Federation of Exchanges, 2017). This puts the country on a par with the world's larger exchanges. In Asia, the Japanese exchange alone is slightly bigger (US$6.2tn); Euronext, the largest exchange in continental Europe (US$4.4tn), is smaller than Shanghai; making the US exchanges the only ones with significantly greater scale (the NYSE and NASDAQ have respective market caps of US$22tn and US$10tn). Until now, however, it has been absent from the most prominent equity indices. This is why MSCI's decision to add China A Share to its indices has garnered such attention. An index review released overnight gives details of the A shares which will be included from 1 June. Partial inclusion restricts immediate impact on indices. These A Shares will initially only be added at 2.5% of their potential full weight, moving up to 5% at the next quarterly index change on 1 September. This 'partial inclusion' approach means that the changes to MSCI indices will initially be negligible. In June of last year, MSCI estimated that A Shares – following the September 2018 increase – would only account for 0.1% of the MSCI AC World Index (other Chinese equities make up 3% of that index); 0.8% of the MSCI Asia ex-Japan Index (China's weighting there is 33%) and 0.7% of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (v 29% for other Chinese equities). Accessibility improvements will, in time, drive greater prominence for the A Share market. It was not until the fourth time of asking, at the June 2017 index consultation, that the MSCI confirmed China A Shares would be added. At three previous consultations, the proposal had been rejected. That the fourth review saw a different outcome was due to the MSCI's assessment that there had been "ongoing improvements in China's market accessibility conditions". One of the main improvements to accessibility over recent years has been the introduction and growth of Stock Connects allowing investors in Hong Kong to buy mainland A Shares and the corresponding purchase of Hong Kong listed companies by those on the mainland. As further accessibility improvements are made, the A Share inclusion factor is likely to be increased. There are currently two Connects with mainland China, Shanghai-HK and Shenzhen-HK, and there has been a proposal for a Shanghai-London Connect to be opened later this year. In addition, foreign investors can access A Shares via routes such as a RQFII (Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor) licence. We are likely to see accessibility increase further. If the MSCI increased the A Share inclusion factor to 100% and also included mid-cap A Shares, then the China A Shares could account for around 17% of the MSCI Emerging Market index, with the China total at almost 41%. Such a prominence of A Shares within MSCI indices would clearly be significant, both for passive investors looking to replicate them and active investors such as ourselves who seek to outperform them. For our fund we are targeting companies with a combination of dividends, growth and attractive valuations, and we currently find more opportunities with these three factors outside the A Share market, often due to the expensive valuations of domestic Chinese equities. The Shanghai Composite and Shenzhen Composite trade on prospective price/earnings ratios of 12x and 20x respectively. In the Liontrust Asia Income Fund we currently invest in Hong Kong listed shares of Chinese companies with our exposure trading on an aggregate PE of 11x, less than the Hong Kong listed companies index and also less than the A Shares. A good illustration of the high valuations of Chinese A Shares is the Hang Seng China AH Premium Index, below. This measures the share price premium or discount of A Shares over H Shares for some of the largest China companies with both A Share and H Share listings. As the chart shows, A Shares currently trade at a premium of over 20% to their corresponding H Shares. Although there are a number of companies that have listings in both markets, equities in one company cannot be transferred between markets and so there is no scope to arbitrage significant price differences. Part of the reason for the lofty valuations of A Shares is that you have a group of domestic Chinese savers who have few alternatives in which to invest their money, despite the improving access to Hong Kong via the Connects. Bloomberg estimates that individual retail investors account for 80% of trading volume in mainland China. We believe that this increases the influence of investor sentiment compared to fundamentals in the market. As international market exposure increases, we believe that the fundamentals will become more assertive, and we stand ready to enter the market as and when opportunities appear. Key in this process will be the accessibility improvements being made to China's mainland exchanges, which themselves must be viewed hand-in-hand with China's wider economic transition. A narrowing of the A Share / H Share premium would be one signal that domestic investor sentiment is having a lesser influence on stock movements. As with so much in China's economic rebalancing and development it can be a case of 'two steps forward, one step back' and it is no different here. At the same time as improving capital mobility between mainland and offshore exchanges, China has been guilty in the past of intervening in its mainland markets, and allowing swathes of the market to be suspended, in an attempt to manage them through periods of volatility. Risks like these must be factored into investment decisions. Our investment approach is built around the analysis of the key investment drivers for Asian equities and the identification of companies with exposure to these drivers that offer an attractively valued combination of earnings growth and divided yield. The A share market is part of the investment universe we consider. Were our investment process to highlight any of these companies as attractive investments, then we would invest. In the meantime, we are in no hurry to dive in. If we screen the global equity universe for liquid stocks offering earnings growth (10%+) and dividend yield (3%+) we find that a third of them are to be found in Asia Pacific ex-Japan, excluding A Shares. The A Share market may be massive, but the Asian investment universe is already a fertile hunting ground for investors looking for income and growth. (1) A Shares are company shares that are traded on China's mainland stock exchanges in Shanghai and Shenzhen. H Shares are shares in Chinese companies that are traded on the Hong Kong Stock Sxchange. For a comprehensive list of common financial words and terms, see our glossary here. Key Risks Past performance is not a guide to future performance. Do remember that the value of an investment and the income generated from them can fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed, therefore, you may not get back the amount originally invested and potentially risk total loss of capital. The issue of units/shares in Liontrust Funds may be subject to an initial charge, which will have an impact on the realisable value of the investment, particularly in the short term. Investments should always be considered as long term. Investment in Funds managed by the Asia team involves foreign currencies and may be subject to fluctuations in value due to movements in exchange rates. The Fund's expenses are charged to capital. This has the effect of increasing dividends while constraining capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in Asian companies, which may be less liquid than companies in more developed markets.

Ever wonder how you can increase your credit limit? With the right intention, it's not a bad question to ask.
Increasing your credit limit so that you can shop irresponsibly is probably a bad idea. However, increasing your credit limit so that you can make a necessary purchase, or even just make ends meet, can be a great idea.
There are a few ways you can go about trying to increase your credit limit. We'll walk through those further below.
What is a Credit Limit
A credit limit is the maximum amount of money you can spend on a credit card.
Your credit limit would be the sum of all the individual credit limits from all of your credit cards. If you have only one card, then the math is easy.
So, if your credit limit is $1,000, then that is the maximum amount you can put on a credit card before having to pay some of it off.
How is a Credit Limit Determined
Credit card companies determine your credit limit by rolling two dice and then multiplying the numbers together.
Just kidding…
As expected, your credit limit is determined through a complex mathematical process that includes a number of factors, such as your:
- Income.
- Current debt levels.
- Credit history (how trustworthy you are).
- Current credit limits from other cards (As a cue for what the credit limit should be for this one).
- And more…
Obviously, higher income and lower debt levels are good signals to give you a higher credit limit. Similarly, if you have a long credit history of paying back debt on time, this will signal trustworthiness and increase your chances of a higher credit limit.
There is no way to know exactly what your credit limit will be as it varies by credit card as well. But, improving the factors above will increase your chances of getting a better credit score.
Reasons to Increase Your Credit Limit
As Mentioned, there are good reasons to increase your credit limit, and bad ones.
Bad reasons to increase your credit limit would include things like to be able to shop more or go further into debt that you cannot pay back. As much as a credit card can feel like "monopoly money," I promise you, it's not. You have to pay it back. With great power comes great responsibility.
That's enough from Uncle Ben…
Of course, there are good reasons to increase your credit limit! They include things like increasing it to make ends meet, to make a large purchase, or to increase your credit score.
To Make Ends Meet
The first good reason, to make ends meet, is pretty self explanatory. For example, if your monthly expenses are $1,000 but your credit limit is only $500, that means there are $500 of expenses out there that you cannot put on your credit card. You're missing out on reward points by not using a credit card! So, it's in your best interest to try to increase your limit.
To Make a Large, Planned Purchase
Another good reason to figure out how to increase your credit limit would be to make a large, planned purchase. For example, a medical expense or home good. If this item is in the budget and outside of your credit limit, similar to the first point, you want to get it on a credit card if you can.
Related to this reason would be if you are moving large purchases up to hit a credit card bonus. For example, a lot of premium credit cards offer a sign up bonus if you spend a certain amount (like $2,000) within the first 2 months. If you would not regularly spend $2,000 in 2 months, but there are necessary purchases or payments that you can move up to hit this payment, it may be good to take the hit and pay them now in order to hit the bonus and then not have to pay them later.
To Increase Your Credit Score
Last, increasing your credit limit can be a good way to increase your credit score. One key measure of your credit score it utilization – how much of your credit limit you are using. The lower your utilization, the better. And obviously a high credit limit would lower your utilization (assuming your spending stays the same).
Plus, there are countless benefits to having a good credit score.
The one watch out is that opening a new credit card will result a short term dip in your credit score. This is due to a hard credit check.
3 Ideas on How to Increase Your Credit Limit:
Let's say you have a good reason to increase your credit limit – here are some ideas on how to go about doing it.
1. Simply Ask
The first idea is the easiest – simply ask.
Some credit cards have an online application you can fill out for an increased credit limit. For others you have to call in. Either way, it's a pretty straight forward process.
It's best to come with some hard data to help substantiate your ask just in case. For example, if your salary has increased or if you have been reliably paying off the card in full for over a year, be sure to bring that up.
2. Apply for a New Card
The next route if you cannot increase your credit limit on one card is to open another. Even if your credit limit is the same on the second card, you have essentially just doubled your credit limit. And spending power.
The one watch out here is that opening a second credit card will lower your credit score temporarily. It's not something you want to do frequently (or before buying a house), but once or twice a year is no problem.
Be sure you are getting the best second credit card for you before applying!
3. Increase Your Income
Last but not least would be to address one of the root cause's of this issue. This might be the most effective way to increase your credit limit if option 1 fails and option 2 is not right for you.
Of course, increasing your income is no easy feat. But it is one of the most important factors that goes into determining your credit limit. If you can get a raise at work, or even start making some extra money through a side hustle, it will raise your chances of getting an increased credit limit down the road.
If you are successful in option 3, then you can go back and try option 1 (simply asking!) a few months down the road.
And if you are looking for the perfect credit card to open next, check out our credit card tool! Its designed to find the best credit card for you!

Canada to Invest in Delhaven Harbor
Minister of Digital Government and Member of Parliament for Kings-Hants, Scott Brison announced yesterday that the Government of Canada is investing in harbor infrastructure in Delhaven, Kings County, Nova Scotia.
According to the announcement, work is expected to begin this winter to replace the wharf approach and wharf structure which is showing significant deterioration.
Scott Brison commented: "Investing in this local small craft harbor helps not just the commercial fishing industry, but Delhaven and communities on the Minas Basin. The work carried out will not only renew and maintain the infrastructure that is essential to the community, but also stimulate job opportunities that will benefit fishers and support our local communities."
"Small Craft Harbor investments demonstrate the federal government's commitment to local economies. We are proud of this investment to support the fishing industry—a key economic sector that helps support coastal communities across the country," said Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard.
In order to renew its network of small craft harbors, the Government of Canada will invest $250 million over two years. This is in addition to $100 million that will be invested in 2018-19 for repairs, maintenance, construction, and dredging at core commercial fishing harbors across Canada.

What happens during my examination?
On your initial visit, expect us to ask you about the health complaints that brought you to our office and what, if anything precipitated them. The doctor will ask you about any trauma, injury, accident, or any other event that may have contributed to your current level of pain. Then, the doctor will ask about your family history, previous chiropractic care, medical care, surgeries, etc.
The doctor will also inquire about your job and any other situations that may contribute to your symptoms and then determine the best way to treat your symptoms.
A physical examination will be performed in accordance with your chiropractors clinical judgment, which may include x-rays, laboratory analysis, and any other diagnostic procedures. In addition, a careful spinal examination and analysis will be performed to detect any structural abnormalities which may be affecting or causing your condition. All of these elements are important components of your total health profile, and vital to the doctor in evaluating your problem
Once the doctor has identified the problem, he or she will begin your care by way of physical therapy modalities followed by "adjustments". The term adjustment means the specific manipulation of vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns or fail to function normally. Doctors of chiropractics spend many years learning motion palpation (the art of examining by movement or touch) and other forms of spinal examining procedures, so that they can administer specific and appropriate spinal adjustments. Particular attention will be paid to the area of your spine where a spinal derangement or "subluxation" has been detected. The adjustment is usually given by hand or "activator" type instruments which apply pressure to the areas of the spine that are out of alignment or that do not have their normal range of motion.
To prepare you for the adjustment, various forms of physical therapies are used to help relax the affected supporting tissue structures. The various forms include, Electrical Muscle Stimulation, Vibration Therapy, and/or Hot / Cold packs. Their purpose is to reduce muscle spasm and rigidity, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. After the physical therapy, the spinal adjustments will be performed, usually at minimal to no discomfort to you.
Allowing us to get you back on track both chemically and structurally will bring your body back to the proper state it should be in to perform at its peak. The fastest and easiest way to schedule your appointment with one of our doctors is to first use our contact page to select your location. One of our staff members will promptly schedule you with a convenient time to see one of our doctors.
Our Methods
Heat therapy works by stimulating your body's own healing force. For instance, heat dilates the blood vessels, stimulates blood circulation, and reduces muscle spasms. In addition, heat alters the sensation of pain.
Reduces swelling by constricting blood vessels. While cold packs may be uncomfortable at first, they can numb deep pain.
Therapeutic Ultrasound is a method of stimulating tissue beneath the skin's surface using sound waves. It is a very high frequency massage that can penetrate up to 5″ below the surface of your skin.
This may include stretching, core exercises, weight lifting, and walking. Your Chiropractor may teach you an exercise program so you can do it at home.

It was very exciting to learn about this process and we look forward to more projects to do with leather working and other traditional arts.
Please send us your projects and ideas to help children learn about the rich cultural history of Islam.

CENTRE, Ala. (AP) — Authorities say a man suspected in a killing in Alabama was arrested on a DUI charge in Georgia.
Cherokee County Sheriff Jeff Shaver told Al.com that a man was shot to death Saturday night at a home in the Salem community in east Alabama. The victim's name was not immediately released.
Shaver said the Georgia State Patrol took 19-year-old Matthew Gonzalez into custody early Sunday. Shaver said some of his investigators interviewed Gonzalez at the Paulding County Sheriff's Office in Georgia.
Georgia troopers charged Gonzalez with DUI, a violation of the open container law, driving without a license and a taillight violation.
Shaver says Gonzalez faces a capital murder charge in Alabama and will be extradited back to Cherokee County.
It was not immediately clear whether Gonzalez has a lawyer.

Post Woolly Race Survey
Wow, what a weekend! The entire Woolly Crew would like to thank each and every racer, family member, spectator, sponsor, and Mother Nature for a great event.
If you joined us this weekend we would really appreciate it if you would participate in a very brief survey. The purposes are two fold. One we want your honest feedback so we can make the event even better next year. Second, we'd love to have some data to help support our belief that Bikes Mean Business to St. Croix Falls.
The survey is 8 questions, 9 if you count optionally entering your email address for a chance to win a sweet Woolly T. It shouldn't take you more than a couple of minutes.
We hope to see you back in Woolly Land soon.

Woolly Weekend Update - Race Weekend!
We have clearly done something right! You can't possibly ask for better weather than we are going to have for the big Woolly Weekend. So, shall we run down a few reminders about the weekend?
Come on out today and pre-ride the course. I'm not sure we've got everything fully marked yet, but grab the map here and you should be able to figure it out fairly well. Keep your heads up, we will have folks out doing some final trail work to make sure everything is in perfect shape for the weekend.
|Sport, Comp, and Elite course map
|Kids Comp and Citizen course map
Before or after riding, be sure to stop at one of our sponsors for some fueling. We highly recommend Valley Sweets, Mama T's Sweet Treats, and Dalles House Restaurant and Lounge. You will find something for everyone at one of those establishments.
Saturday afternoon is of course the innagural Woolly Wander. Come check out our trails and the city of St. Croix Falls as part of this scavenger hunt. Its FREE, family friendly, and has $200 in CASH PRIZES plus additional SWAG PRIZES. Hit up the Woolly Trailhead between 1pm and 5pm (must be returned by 5pm so don't start then) to pick up a clue sheet and start exploring.
Additionally the city of St. Croix Falls is hosting a bunch of other fun family friendly events all day. Check out the St. Croix Falls Spring Awakenings page for all sorts of fun activities.
Then of course we have the big day on Sunday. A full schedule of racing to kick off the Minnesota Mountain Bike Series. Last year we set an attendance record. With weather like this on tap, I say we try and outdo ourselves.
If you don't want to race, but still want to pitch in, we can always use a few more volunteers. Send an email to email@example.com and we will gladly find you a place to pitch in for a few hours.
Thank our Sponsors
As always, we couldn't do this without the generous support of our sponsors. Check out these awesome local businesses and be sure to thank them if possible. If you hit up any other local establishments be sure to tell them you are in town for the Woolly. We want people to know that the Woolly means business!

Enjoy hassle free energy
Smart meters are a great way to manage your energy. With a smart meter, your meter readings are sent directly to your energy supplier – meaning no more manual meter readings.
The major benefit of a smart meter over a regular analogue meter is that a smart meter comes with an In Home Display (IHD). This means you'll have a display in your home which shows you how much energy you're using and how much that is costing – enabling you to make better informed decisions about your energy use.
If you'd like to take more control over the energy usage in your home, a smart meter is the ideal solution for you.
How do smart meters work?
Smart meters connect wirelessly to both your energy supplier and to the In Home Display (IHD) unit.
The IHD sits in your home and allows you to see in real time how much energy you're using, which gives you better control over your energy use. That means that it's much easier for you to top up and control your energy use.
Because it's also connected to your energy supplier, your smart meter will be sending constant updates on energy use, meaning you no longer have to submit manual meter readings.
What are the benefits of a smart meter?
With a smart meter, you get:
- more control over your energy use – smart meters enable you to keep an eye on your household energy use and control those energy guzzling areas and appliances by using them more efficiently
- more control over your energy spending – your smart meter sends information to your IHD. This will display your current spending for credit customers as well as your credit levels if you are a prepayment customers. You can even programme your IHD to warn you if you're approaching a credit limit
- flexibility to top-up – If you're a prepayment customer your smart Pay-As-You-Go top-up card can be used to top-up online, over the phone or at your nearest PayPoint retailer
Using your smart meter
If you'd like further information on your Robin Hood Energy smart meter then download our guide here.
Smart Metering Installation Code of Practice
The Smart Metering Code of Practice (SMICoP) is the set of rules or standards that all energy suppliers must follow when installing a new Smart Meter. You can read the full SMICoP or find out more by visiting the SMICoP website.
For more information on SMICoP you can download it here.
Smart meter in-home display (IHD)
Your smart meter in-home display IHD sits inside your house where you can clearly see it and helps you monitor your energy use.
Powering your IHD
It's a good idea to plug into the mains power (electricity) to power your IHD as it is much cheaper than batteries. If you need to use batteries, you can see how to do this in the Secure Quick Start Guide which is included with your IHD installation pack.
Getting your IHD working
Our meter installer will fit your meter and IHD at the same time. The installer will talk to you about your new IHD and advise you of the best place for the unit to sit.
Where to put the IHD
Your IHD needs to be a certain distance from the smart meter to 'talk' to it. When the connection icon (below) shows, then the IHD is connected to the Home Area Network (HAN). This means that your IHD is 'talking' to the smart meter. If your IHD displays the disconnection icon (below) then it has disconnected from the meter and you will need to move it nearer the meter or try resetting.
What happens if I move?
Your IHD should stay in your property as it is linked to your meter. If your new home doesn't have a smart meter or an IHD, contact us/contact-us and we can help.
Your IHD home screen
Your IHD's home screen will be different depending on whether you're a single or dual fuel customer, or whether you pay monthly (by Direct Debit or when you receive your bill) or have a Pay As You Go meter. It will show your estimated bill or your smart PAYG credit balance on the default home screen when your IHD 'wakes up' after it has been powered down.
Paying monthly (by Direct Debit or when you receive your bill)
If you have both your gas and electricity with us, your IHD home screen will look like this:
If we supply you with only one fuel (electricity or gas), your IHD home screen will look like this:
Pay As You Go or by prepayment meter
If you just have electricity and gas with us, your IHD home screen will look like this:
If you just have electricity with us, your IHD home screen will look like this:
IHD main menu
Waking up your IHD
Your Smart IHD is set to backlight 24 hours a day but don't worry, it costs less than 20p a year to be lit all the time.
If you would like to programme your smart IHD to power down when you're not using it, just pop into the Settings button from the home screen and press Backlight. Pressing Backlight means your screen will go dark after 60 seconds and light up again when you tap the screen.
If the display is black, just tap the display area to wake up your IHD.

Sticking to your targets
Your IHD has three LED lights on top of it which reports your target progress:
- Green Light = You are fine! You are below 60% of your set target.
- Orange Light = You are above 60% of your target but below 100% so it's time to check which appliances may be guzzling energy.
- Red Light = You've reached the maximum amount that you want to spend for the day. If you need to keep using energy, check your heating settings and appliances and see if there's anything that you can turn off or down.

Rovers face Scouse trip
Story courtesy of Burton Mail
A daunting trip to Merseyside is Gresley Rovers' reward for reaching for reaching the last 16 of the FA Vase for the first time in their history.Gresley must travel to Knowlsley of the North West Counties League on February 9 with manager Frank Northwood insisting: "It's a tough one – but we're going up there to win."
Northwood has already spoken to the manager of Beazer Midland club Spalding, who were beaten 3-0 at Knowlsley in Saturday's fourth round while Rovers were progressing with a 2-1 victory over Billingham Town.
"He told me he believes Knowlsley can be beaten," said the Gresley boss today. "But he say's they're a very good side and if we go there looking for a draw we'll get punished.
"I've no intention of doing that. We're going up for a win and we believe we can do it."
Formed as recently as 1984, the Mersyside club were promoted from the North West Counties League Division One as runner's up to Gresley's former Vase adversaries Warrington last season but beat Warrington on penalties to lift the league cup.
Former Paget striker Derek Christopher is a surprise inclusion in the Gresley squad for tomorrow night's Banks's League match against the Sutton Coldfield based outfit (7.30pm).
Christopher joined Gresley from Paget last season but scored only once after struggling to fit in.
He has remained on Banks's League forms with Gresley this season but has played regularly in the Beazer Midland Division with Redditch.
Northwood said: "Derek rang me to say he'd finished with Redditch and to ask me if he could back to Gresley. He's a quality player and we're pleased to have him in the squad – but he knows it won't be easy to get a shirt."

I tryied to play my mod with -vr in oculus rift. While the original hl2 works fine, mod has several problems: the arm with weapon was not displayed and the game was crashing when changing levels.
I made the mod directory a long time ago, before the steampipe convert and vr support in hl2. I made some tweaks recently to make it work after the steampipe convertion. I think that I need to add/remove some files in the mod directory to get rid of those vr problems but I have no idea what files I need.
If anyone has any information or at least knows any sites where I can find it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Stay connected after graduation: the ClubUNIGIS network
UNIGIS Salzburg students & alumni a.k.a ClubUNIGIS is an international GIS-Community of 800 active students and more than 2,700 alumni, who graduated from UNIGIS Salzburg. This global network in Geoinformatics encourages the communication, fosters the exchange of news and ideas and offers discounts and services.
The membership to ClubUNIGIS automatically begins with the UNIGIS studies and is a life-long offer to all alumni after graduation free of charge. With ClubUNIGIS, students and alumni stay connected, keep up-to-date with the trends in Geoinformatics, profit from discounts, and are welcome to take UNIGIS optional modules also after graduation.
In addition to face-to-face meetings that we frequently organise at events and conferences, the ClubUNIGIS communicates through social media groups. Active students and alumni are invited to join the UNIGIS Alumni & Students Worldwide network on Linkedin.
ClubUNIGIS – Discounts and Services
UNIGIS alumni have the life-long and exclusive right to sign up for optional modules. This offer is popular amongst alumni to keep up-to-date with new trends in Geoinformatics and advance knowledge and skills in a broad range of topics.
u_Lectures are presented by invited speakers from academia, the GI industry, public administration, NGOs and other actors in the field of Geoinformatics and GIScience. Available primarily to UNIGIS alumni and active UNIGIS students, this online lecture series serves as a professional and academic 'updating' opportunity within a generic 'lifelong learning' framework.
The GI_Forum is an annual GIS conference at the University of Salzburg. With about 1,000 participants it is one of the largest conferences for Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing in Europe. It thus provides a vibrant platform for dialogue among geospatial minds. GI_Forum runs concurrently with the highly renown German-language conference on Applied Geoinformatics – AGIT. The two symposia share the innovative AGIT EXPO exhibit and stimulating social events.
Once a year, UNIGIS students and alumni enjoy the opportunity to meet in person. The ClubUNIGIS Come2gether has established as a popular side event of the Salzburg GI-conferences GI_Forum / AGIT in early July each year. In the relaxed atmosphere of an informal lunch meeting, participants catch up with colleagues of the same intake, students benefit from the experience of alumni and lecturers are happy to discuss their topics.

Nobody wants to have the ugly property on the row but it is easy to get caught up in home or business life and put rendering work on the back burner.
MPC Plastering can help bring the facade of your home or commercial premises back up to a high standard using your choice of economical or cutting edge rendering techniques and finishes.
Planning on DIY rendering?
If you are planning to take on your own rendering project, make sure that you have all the facts to hand. Will you need to book scaffolding? If so, how long for? Will you need to arrange alterations to your power and telephone cables? Do you know the pros and cons of different render systems? Do you have a grasp of the techniques involved (e.g. using beading on a new build home to ensure the corners are neat).
If you have any doubts, rather than risk the appearance and security of your property, we recommend contacting MPC Plastering for a site survey and free quote. We can manage the entire rendering project or liaise with other contractors as necessary. We can even bring in local subcontractors to carry out additional works such as mechanical and electrical first and second fixes.
We will always provide honest advice tailored to your needs not ours. We will be sensitive to your budget and priorities from start to finish.
Render options: a brief guide
There are several render options and the correct choice for your home or business will depend on your budget, type of property, personal preference and other factors. Here is a brief guide to the most common types of rendering:
Sand and cement render
Sand and cement render is usually the least expensive option. It is mixed on site and applied in two to three coats with a smooth final coat left ready for painting. Sand and cement render is labour intensive, relatively inflexible and requires regular maintenance. For these reasons, sand and cement render is becoming less popular.

Protecting your smart home digitally is not only vital to your personal security, but the the world at large. The Internet of Things is still new and attacks are being developed not just to spy on IoT users, but use the Internet of Things to do harm.
There are some basic steps you can use to make sure your smart home is safe, but a new product aims to save you time by monitoring your traffic for intruders. The Dojo connects to your router, monitoring traffic and looking for exploits.
The device is constantly updated with the latest threats, helping even the least tech-savvy users stay safe. From the Dojo app, users can see what's connected and cut off intruding devices. The device also automatically blocks dangerous devices and will alert you to suspicious behavior.
It uses machine learning to do that, looking for spikes in traffic between devices or to the cloud to help spot problems. So if your smart fridge is suddenly sending huge amounts of data somewhere, it can cut the fridge off.
However, it probably can't stop every attack. While Dojo tries to stay as up-to-date as possible on the latest threats, passing those along to the Dojo devices, it protects best against known attacks. The sneakiest attacks could still get through, and dedicated hackers may be able to bypass Dojo altogether in the future.
However, it does seem to provide a good baseline for security in the connected world. In fact, it's probably far better than what you're doing now.
The Dojo is available for pre-order now at $199, which includes a year of monitoring. After that, monitoring costs $99 per year or $9.99 per month. It should ship within two months.

Intro to the History of Yoga online course
From self-study
arises union with the desired deity.
(Patañjali, Yoga-Sūtra 2.44, tr. Chapple)
Intro to the History of Yoga: Philosophy, Practice, Transformation
with dr. Sean Feit Oakes
A university-level introduction to Yoga history from an engaging scholar-practitioner, designed for serious students of yoga and meditation.
Dive into the ocean of ideas, practices, and culture that evolved into modern yoga, looking at over 2500 years of South Asian cultural and spiritual innovation, including profound philosophical inquiry into the nature of the human experience, and the disciplines of meditation, mantra, ritual, and breath that are the heart of Yoga as a spiritual path.
Integrating history & practice
The course explores Yoga from two perspectives: history & practice.
- Through the lens of history, ideas are explored by looking at the cultural conditions that surrounded them, the dynamic social and political contexts in which Yoga developed.
- Through the lens of practice, we engage with the teachings of yoga as spiritual practitioners, concerned with the result of dedicated practice in our lives and relationships now.
The creation of this course was born out of Dr. Oakes' passion for supporting and strengthening modern Yoga education and his extensive research of the material to create a robust and thorough curriculum for Yoga teacher training programs. After years of presenting this course in both 200 and 500 hour YTT programs, Dr. Oakes is making this course widely available so that more practitioners can have access to, and benefit from engaging with, this material.
A deeper relationship with your practice awaits. One with a stronger understanding and reverence for the culture from which these transformative practices arose.
This course lays the foundation for a lifetime of study and growth.
Meet your guide, Dr. Sean Feit Oakes
Sean Feit Oakes, PhD, E-RYT, SEP, teaches Buddhism and Haṭha Yoga with a focus on the integration of meditation, trauma resolution, and social justice. He studied in Theravāda, Zen, and Vajrāyāna Buddhist lineages, including training as a monk in Burma, and was authorized to teach Insight Meditation by Jack Kornfield.
After beginning in Ashtanga practice, Dr. Oakes studied yoga with Alice Joanou, Rachel Shaw, Amanda Moran, and David Moreno, and taught mindfulness-based vinyasa for 10+ years. He now focuses his yoga teaching on individualized āsana and prāṇāyāma for experienced students, and a somatic approach to inquiry, ethics, and meditation as the heart of the path.

Sample a Lesson
Enjoy a sample video from the course on one of the most widely covered topics in Yoga philosophy: Patañjali's Yoga-Sūtra.

Pricing: The radical practice of Gift Economy
If you are familiar with Dr. Oakes' work, you know that widespread access and affordability are integral to his offering and he is committed to using the Gift Economy model to transmit his teachings. The term "Gift Economy" is borrowed from academic analyses of some pre-industrial societies, and refers to a culture or community that sees the movement of resources between people as a means to deepen connection, not as competition or commerce. We encourage you to read more about the philosophy and practice of Gift Economy here.
In keeping true to the fundamental belief that all interested practitioners are welcome to receive the teachings, regardless of material wealth, enrollment is set up on a sliding scale, with additional scholarship options.
The sliding scale is based on self-assessment of your ability to offer your resources in a way that supports others with lesser resources to attend. Please support us to offer this radical anti-Capitalist pricing structure by offering the highest amount you can afford, and by giving above the suggested price if you can, which directly gifts scholarship support to those who need it. Thank you for your generosity!
$200: base / "non-profit" level price
$250: suggested price / keeps us sustainable
$300+: supports scholarships & future offerings
Scholarships are offered as widely as possible and based on request. Our goal is to not turn anyone away for lack of resources, both for this course and future offerings.

We'll work through one topic per week. Each topic is comprised of multiple, pre-recorded video lessons, inquiry questions and practices, as well as suggestions for further study.
Course prompts will be emailed weekly, offering added discussion points for the class that just concluded as well as preparation for the next class. The course has 8 classes, so you will receive 8 of these emails, over 8 weeks time.
You can go more slowly or move ahead, if that works best for you. You will have access to the full course from day 1, allowing total flexibility.
We'll have three live Q&A sessions so that you can have an interactive discussion with Dr. Oakes. They are placed at the beginning, mid-way point of the course, and at the end. The calls are held via Zoom, and you will receive a log-in link (no account required). No worries if you miss a session, the recordings of the sessions will be shared.
You can ask questions anytime in the private group forum, where both Dr. Oakes and the full community are engaged. You may also be interested in joining Dr. Oakes' dynamic Facebook group to continue engaging with a global community of practitioners devoted to study and discourse.
Learn anywhere, anytime. Let's face it, everyone is busy these days and not everyone has time to time to spend in personal study. This course is delivered on a digital learning platform that can be accessed from your home computer or on-the-go from any mobile device.
Stop, start, repeat. Online learning allows you to take a break when needed without missing anything. You can repeat those words that didn't quite sink in a few more times, rewatch a whole video, or even the whole course as many times as you'd like!
Improved information retention. Studies have shown that the ability to cater the online experience to your own needs and return to the material as much as needed can vastly improve retention. This can be especially valuable when working with dense material such as history and philosophy.
Ultimately, you control the pace. Course prompts will be emailed weekly, over the span of 8 weeks, but you will have access to the full course from day 1, allowing total flexibility to move through the material as slowly or quickly as desired.
You can expect to spend about 2-4 hours per week, if you follow our 8-week course flow. Watching the video lectures accounts for roughly 2 hours per week, and the remaining time fluctuates depending on your personal desire to engage with the practices, inquiries and group discussion board.
We provide lifetime access to our course, so that you may take your time completing the course and return and refresh your knowledge long after the 8 weeks is over.
Yes! You will receive a PDF certificate after completing this course.
Yes! This course is registered for 20 hours of CEUs with Yoga Alliance. We've made this process super easy for you, our course is listed under the Continuing Education tab on YA's website, so you can simply upload your PDF certificate to verify your hours.
Of course we hope that you love the course experience and find value in being able to keep access to the content indefinitely. And if that's not the case, just reach out. We're human and prefer not to have formal policies but to meet all unique situations with understanding and a unique solution.
Is this course right for me?
This course is the result of years of experience teaching the history and philosophy of Yoga to Teacher Training courses, and we put the full force of our care and effort into crafting the most engaging, culturally-appropriate, and professional online presentation possible. We're super proud of the finished product but know there are many factors for you to consider while making this choice.
We think this course is a great fit for you, if any of the following resonate for you:
You enjoy practicing Yoga and feel called to learn more about the origin of the traditions and context of how these practices were developed.
You are looking to immerse yourself in a depth of information and inspiration, and you would like an option other than taking a full teacher training program.
You have taken a Yoga teacher training but felt there was not an adequate amount of time spent on the history and philosophy component.
You are a Yoga teacher and wish to refresh your knowledge, perhaps learn a few new concepts, or just hear the information from a fresh perspective.
You know Yoga is more than postures but find the majority of opportunities to engage with Yoga are only scratching the surface of how impactful the practices can be in your life.
You enjoy history and storytelling and would like to learn about another culture and it's traditions, whether or not you have any previous experience.

7 Fun and Cheap Valentine's Day Ideas
February 1, 2019 | By Mason Roberts
Looking forward to celebrating Valentine's Day with someone special? The thought of spending time with a loved one may sound like a great idea, but if you are on a budget, the reality of pulling off a romantic evening together may not seem financially possible.
Keeping Valentine's Day on a Budget
If you don't have a creative bone in your body, then take a look below for some fun and cheap ideas for celebrating Valentine's Day on a limited budget this year.
1. Dine-In
Avoid the over-priced and crowded restaurants and plan a romantic dinner for two at home. There are many great meals that you can prepare that will impress that special someone without breaking the bank.
Pasta is always an excellent choice and very low in price. Or you can make a dinner packed with protein, like a nice filet mignon or fish. It may be more expensive than pasta, but check out what sales or coupons your local supermarket or fish market have running. A cozy candlelight meal at home could be just the romantic night your loved one is expecting.
2. Bake Off
Some couples enjoy a little competition. If you are the type that likes to stay active and has a healthy appetite for a little friendly competition, then select a few desserts that you and your loved one can prepare, and enjoy afterward. It can be as easy as baking cookies, cupcakes, or if you want to get serious how about some crème brûlée? It can be a fun night of excitement and laughter. It's what you make of it.
3. Write a Love Letter
Too often, technology replaces the art of writing. Don't text your loved one a Valentine's Day message or post it online for the world to see. Keep the love you have private and special. Write your feelings down in a poem or a letter. Show your sweet side to the one that holds your heart and just watch the sparks fly.
4. Music and Dancing
Who said music and dancing were only for the dancefloor? Save time and money and dance at home. Set the mood for romance with some slow music, light candles, pour wine, clear an area, and take your loved one by the hand. This is a full-proof way to show off your romantic side, as well as a way to get a little more intimate this holiday.
5. Recreate the Day you Met
If you and your sweetheart have a special memory of the day you met, try recreating it for a sweet Valentine's Day treat. Decorate your home, backyard, neighborhood park with small mementos from that special day. You may even want to string some lights and light a few candles to make it even more romantic.
6. Bubble Bath
Think about your significant other. Does he or she work hard? Never have time to relax? Then maybe a night of pampering them is just what you need to create the perfect Valentine's Day. Draw a warm bath, add some bubbles, and light some candles. You can even add a bottle of wine and soft music to the scene for some extra romance.
7. Scavenger Hunt
Have some fun by sending your loved one on a scavenger hunt full of clues that lead to you. It can be clues from your relationship or for the night your special someone can expect with you.
How Will You Save This Valentine's Day?
When you think of Valentine's Day, you probably think of flowers, fine dining, and chocolate hearts. Those are some of the more traditional ways of celebrating the holiday, but they aren't the only ways that you can celebrate your love. There are several low-cost ways to have a romantic evening you want. The key is to be original, so get those creative juices flowing.
Remember it is all about celebrating the love you share, not the amount of money you think your relationship is worth. You don't want to over-extend yourself. That will only lead you into more of a financial struggle causing you to take out another auto title pawn or maxing out your credit cards.

You are Your Cell Phone
Yes, the internet is anonymous. Shielded by the screen, keyboard, and different online IDs, we'll all capable of being completely open, revealing the good and bad natures of our personality. This is already a given.
Yet despite some of the rather sinister comments posted on forums and articles, it always reveals something we tell our children and each other, "Honesty is the best policy."
Whether behind an online handle or even Facebook profile, people express themselves honestly. Hence that's why I tell my closest friends that "You are Your Cell Phone." Which apps you use, which websites you visit, even how you arrange your icons explicitly showcases your personality.
But enough of the social aspects of it, what about the utilities? I don't need a watch to tell time anymore. Also don't need a flashlight. Ditto for music player, pedometer, notebook and pen, book reader, camera, video, maps, etc.
Actually, let's talk about maps. I'm afraid I'm part of the generation that had to print out maps to get to unknown locations. But with my cell phone, I'm everywhere at anytime. Good thing or bad thing, I'll let you decide.
But for this woman, after falling into a river while attempting to save her dog, she was her cell phone. Police managed to save her and her dog by locating her cell phone signal. Without it, it would have been a different ending. While this worse case scenario isn't likely to happen to you, imagine flat tire, a wrong turn in a small road, or being lost in a remote area. Don't tell me then how much your cell phone would mean to you.
You are your cell phone.

But is that always a bad thing?
In a short space of time, we have replaced 'go on the internet' with 'go online' and then 'look on my phone'.
The language we use to describe technology has become more real, less technical, and simpler.
However these changes can create lots of problems with communication when the words we use have a different meaning to the sender and the recipient.
Take 'e-commerce' for example. I've been reading an excellent book called 'Leading Digital Strategy' by Christopher Bones and James Hammersley. They define e-commerce in a really broad sense of all digital technologies in business, a methodology for thinking about strategy.
For most people though, e-commerce means online retail (or Amazon, if you're going to get really simple about it).
Ask a web developer about e-commerce and you're more likely to start talking about a plug-in for the shopping cart and checkout, a much narrower and specific definition.
This creates a need to dig deeper into the other person's understanding of what they are asking you, which can give us a richer and deeper understanding of what they really want and need.
In a world of rapidly changing, ever-increasing, superficial communications, developing the skills to dig deeper and ask better questions creates an opportunity for us to have more meaningful conversations and make a lasting impact.
"I think that's part of why our language is changing," she says, "because we're not thinking about anything we don't want to get involved with."

We experimentally demonstrate the orbital angular momentum (OAM) conversion by the coupled nonlinear optical processes in a quasi-periodically poled crystal. In such a crystal, third-harmonic generation (THG) is realized by the coupled second-harmonic generation (SHG) and sum-frequency generation (SFG) processes, i.e., SHG is dependent on SFG and vice versa. The OAMs of the interacting waves are proved to be conserved in such coupled nonlinear optical processes. As we increase the input OAM in the experiment, the conversion efficiency decreases because of the reduced fundamental power density. Our results provide better understanding for the OAM conversions, which can be used to efficiently produce an optical OAM state at a short wavelength.

Under all is the land. Upon its wise utilization and widely allocated ownership depend the survival and growth of free institutions and of our civilization. REALTORS should recognize that the interests of the nation and its citizens require the highest and best use of the land and the widest distribution of land ownership. They require the creation of adequate housing, the building of functioning cities, the development of productive industries and farms, and the preservation of a healthful environment.
In the interpretation of this obligation, REALTORS can take no safer guide than that which has been handed down through the centuries, embodied in the Golden Rule, Whatsoever ye would that others should do to you, do ye even so to them."
(Preamble - REALTOR Code of Ethics)
Our members take the "Golden Rule" one step further....
We believe in the "Platinum Rule". Not only should you treat others as you would like to be treated, but treat others as they would like to be treated!

Communicate: Share or exchange information, news or ideas (Oxford Dictionary).
In The Communicate Blog I ask questions to people I want to learn from: experts and thriving talent in the fields of technology, communications, managements, business and arts. As I reach out to them to ask questions and seek some mentorship, I share (communicate!) these Q&As in this blog as it may be of great value to you as well.
I truly believe we all can learn great things from one another. All we need to do, is to communicate!
About me
Hi! I'm Yadira, born and raised in Puerto Rico, I entered the University of PR as a Philosophy major with the goal of becoming a psychologist. After an internship at the university's radio station newscast, I decided to pursue the field of communications and enrolled at Florida International University to complete a Masters in Journalism. After a couple of years in journalism my career shifted and I became a communications consultant working with customers in the Department of Defense. In the past ten years as a consultant, I have worked in the development of multiple projects and areas: magazine editing and publishing, translation, systems administration, knowledge management, project management, business process improvement and others.
Currently, my job has taken me to Germany where I live with my husband and our two little boys.

Hunting for a Skyhole on Hawaii
After having visited the islands Honolulu and Maui we reached Big Island (also well known for its Triathlon) with Kilauea volcano.
Besides some waterfalls and the summit of Mauna Kea the excursions at the Kilauea volcano have been THE highlight of our trip:
A helicopter flight, two nights at the lava ocean entry (fascinating the never-ending "fight" between the elements water and fire), sneaking through the night to Halemaumau crater and especially the adventurous "hunt" of a skyhole (degassing hole of the lava flows) detected while the heli flight.
The big turtle at our departing day has been a great ending of this unbelievable trip.
