In his latest Investment Outlook, Bill Gross describes what events might trigger a retail exodus (thus tipping the first domino), and says investors should hold enough cash to ride out the storm without participating in a firesale caused by rising rates or some manner of exogenous shock.
* * *
From "It Never Rains In California":
Mutual funds, hedge funds, and ETFs, are part of the "shadow banking system" where these modern "banks" are not required to maintain reserves or even emergency levels of cash.Since they in effect now are the market, a rush for liquidity on the part of the investing public, whether they be individuals in 401Ks or institutional pension funds and insurance companies, would find the "market" selling to itself with the Federal Reserve severely limited in its ability to provide assistance.
While Dodd Frank legislation has made actual banks less risky, their risks have really just been transferred to somewhere else in the system. With trading turnover having declined by 35% in the investment grade bond market as shown in Exhibit 1, and 55% in the High Yield market since 2005, financial regulators have ample cause to wonder if the phrase "run on the bank" could apply to modern day investment structures that are lightly regulated and less liquid than traditional banks. Thus, current discussions involving "SIFI" designation – "Strategically Important Financial Institutions" are being hotly contested by those that may be just that. Not "too big to fail" but "too important to neglect" could be the market's future mantra.
Aside from the obvious drop in trading volumes shown above, the obvious risk – perhaps better labeled the "liquidity illusion" – is that all investors cannot fit through a narrow exit at the same time. But shadow banking structures – unlike cash securities – require counterparty relationships that require more and more margin if prices should decline. That is why PIMCO's safe haven claim of their use of derivatives is so counterintuitive. While private equity and hedge funds have built-in "gates" to prevent an overnight exit, mutual funds and ETFs do not. That an ETF can satisfy redemption with underlying bonds or shares, only raises the nightmare possibility of a disillusioned and uninformed public throwing in the towel once again after they receive thousands of individual odd lot pieces under such circumstances. But even in milder "left tail scenarios" it is price that makes the difference to mutual fund and ETF holders alike, and when liquidity is scarce, prices usually go downnot up, given a Minsky moment. Long used to the inevitability of capital gains, investors and markets have not been tested during a stretch of time when prices go down and policymakers' hands are tied to perform their historical function of buyer of last resort. It's then that liquidity will be tested.
And what might precipitate such a "run on the shadow banks"?

Samsung Galaxy S3 Smart Stay Problem
Some Samsung Galaxy S3 users complain about the Smart Stay feature of their devices. According to them, there are times when the Galaxy S3 Smart Stay feature is not functioning well. So, here is a quick look at the possible sources of the problem plus the solutions that you can apply to solve it.
Possible Causes of the Galaxy S3 Smart Stay Problem
Among the possible causes of the Galaxy S3 Smart Stay issue are having the feature disabled, insufficient lighting, physical barriers, software glitches and hardware problem.
Possible Solutions to the Galaxy S3 Smart Stay Problem
Here are the things that you can do to remedy the problem:
1. Check Settings
The first thing that you have to do is check if the Galaxy S3 Smart Stay feature is enabled. Simply follow the #2 solution shown in our previous article at this link. It should be noted that even if you are positive that you have the feature turned On, toggling the feature Off and On might help launch the feature successfully.
2. Refresh the System
Many problems are fixed by simply restarting your device. This enables its system to refresh and remove any possible bugs causing the problem.
3. Go to a Well-Lit Area
The sensor of your phone will not be able to detect your face if you are in a dim or poorly lit area. So, try moving in a place where there is enough lighting.
4. Remove Any Physical Barriers in Between
Make sure that there are no objects blocking or obscuring the area between you and your Galaxy S3's front-facing camera like an invisible film, dirt or other objects that are foreign to your phone.
5. Disable or Uninstall Rouge Apps
Check if there are apps that are disrupting the normal function of your Galaxy S3 Smart Stay feature. Try disabling the app or apps that you recently installed, or start your device in Safe Mode and test the Smart Stay feature there.
6. Factory Reset
If the problem persists even in Safe Mode, then that's the time for you to consider doing a Factory Reset. This will restore your phone into its original settings and remove any glitches caused by third-party programs that you have installed. Remember to backup your device before doing this though because this will completely wipe all the data stored in your phone.
7. Have the Hardware Checked
If your Galaxy S3 is experiencing frequent overheating especially in the camera area and you suspect that it is contributing to the issue, have it checked by a Samsung technician or someone who knows a great deal about the hardware of the Galaxy S3.

A Quiet Revolution
Some Social and Religious Perspectives on the Nigerian Crisis
Joseph F. Mali
About the book
In Quiet Revolution: Some Social and Religious Perspectives on the Nigerian Crisis, Joseph F. Mali argues that contrary to popular belief, corruption and failed leadership are not at the heart of the Nigerian crisis. Corruption and misrule, though they have done a terrible harm to the Nigerian society, are in fact byproducts of something much more sinister in the same way that smoke is the byproduct of fire. The real trouble with Nigeria, Mali puts it bluntly, is a lifestyle of profound selfishness, which the people and their leaders have in common. The nation is still bleeding because of this evil. Unless Nigerians cure this "disease," Mali maintains, no system of government is likely to succeed in Nigeria. In vain do Nigerians seek political solutions as long as selfishness remains their credo! Since Nigeria's problem is moral in nature, Mali insists, the remedy must also be ethical in character. Accordingly, he proposes "A Quiet Revolution" as a cure for Nigeria's ailment. This revolution is not a silent coup to overthrow the Nigerian government. It is not "a French-styled rebellion in which the masses on the streets, and peasants in the country put an end to centuries of absolute monarchy." Rather, the "Quiet Revolution" is an interior change; an individual transformation. As long as this change has not taken place, Mali declares, it will be difficult to repair and restore Nigeria.

Shake Your Faith
The Steepwater Band
CD Baby
Review by David Bowling
The Steepwater Band can now be considered a veteran outfit as they have just released their sixth studio album. Shake Your Faith represents their first foray into the studio as a four member, instead of three, band with new and added guitarist Eric Saylors taking part as a full member.
Singer/guitarist Jeff Massey leads the group through an album of original material. Songs such as "Mama Got To Ramble," "Bring On The Love," "Last Second Chance," and the title track have hooks and a beat that will keep you humming long after the music has ended.
The Steepwater band fuses a number of styles into their music. Blues, rock, roots, and pop all blend together into a nice mix that provides an upbeat listening experience. A good way to spend a hour of your time.

text: Policyholders will pay more, but it's still a good deal. By Kimberly Lankford, Contributing Editor August 1, 2008 John Hancock, one of the largest long-term-care insurers, plans to raise rates on policies it sold itself for the first time ever. It is filing for a rate increase on long-term-care policies sold in the 1990s and on some newer New York Partnership policies.The changes will affect about 275,000 people, or about one-fourth of the company's long-term-care customers. Premiums will rise by 13% on policies originally issued by John Hancock; they'll jump 18% on policies that the company took over from Fortis in 2000. The average increase will be $21 per month ($252 per year). The new rates do not apply to group policies. Sponsored Content Premiums are heading up because John Hancock anticipated more people would drop their long-term-care coverage before collecting benefits. Genworth, another major long-term-care insurer, made a similar announcement a few months ago, raising its rates by 8% to 12% for 440,000 existing policyholders. Before these moves, the two companies were standouts for keeping premiums constant once a policy was sold. Bottom line: Even if your rate increases, hold on to your policy. Most long-term-care insurers have raised rates for new buyers the past few years, so not only are new premiums on a higher plane in general, but you'll surely pay more because you are older and more likely to have health issues. If the rate boost is a strain, shorten your benefit period to three years or drop the compound inflation protection (especially if you're in your seventies or older), rather than give up on the insurance altogether and get nothing for it.

My Cardiff Met graduation will stay with me for the rest of my life
It only felt like yesterday when my Mum and Dad dropped me off at my halls of residence ready to begin my journey in Cardiff, a city I had only ever been to once before, for my course interview day. Three years later I was ready to graduate. Now I can all this city my home, and the journey that I have been on was incredible.
Before I write anything about what graduation day was like for me I have one top tip to share; It may sound cliché but you really need to LIVE IN THE MOMENT!
There is a massive build up to Graduation Day. You've spent ages thinking about what you're going to wear, you've been chatting to your course mates about it for weeks and no one can believe how quickly the last few years have gone.
You've definitely been overthinking that walking-across-the-stage moment and imagined yourself falling over many times (don't worry, we were told it has never ever happened – yet!). But despite all of this, on the day make sure you take in the atmosphere. Enjoy being surrounded by your friends and family, and as you walk across that stage to accept your certificate be proud of all the hard work you have put in to get there.
After a morning of getting ready I drove to the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay with my family, which is such a lovely venue for the ceremony. The first thing to do was to collect my gown and cap. It's the best feeling when you see every single person walking out of the gown fitting room with caps on their heads and massive proud grins on their faces – this is when it really starts to sink in that it's actually happening!
Before the ceremony starts all of us students headed into the hall to take our seats for a quick run through. This was fantastic for calming the nerves! We were told exactly what to expect, how to line up and walk across the stage, how to collect our certificate and how to get back to our seats afterwards.
Then all of our friends and family came in to sit behind us – at this point you should definitely take the opportunity to spot your relatives and give them a big smile and wave!
Then the ceremony began, my heart was absolutely racing as I was only the third person to go up on the stage. At this point I had remind myself that walking is not that difficult, and I that I did know how to do it! The moment when you shake the Vice Chancellors hand and accept your certificate is really emotional, and I've definitely never felt as proud of myself and my friends as I did on that day.
All of that built up energy then went into clapping and cheering everyone as they walked across the stage for their big moment. Afterwards, you get to keep your gown for a couple of hours for lots of photo taking opportunities – I remember telling my mum at the end of the day how much my cheeks hurt from constant smiling!
The memory of being surrounded by my amazing friends from the past three years and graduating in the city that I love will stay with me for the rest of my life. Have a fantastic graduation!
Visit our Class of 2018 page for more information on Graduation, and don't forget to share your day using the hashtag #CardiffMet! You can also find out what some of our graduates are up to now with our Life After Uni blog posts.

Corporate events are needed to be planned in the most systematic and impressive manner.

For the corporate events, you can hire venue security services in which the security personnel take care of the security of the guests. They are responsible for protecting the VIPs and the audience from the security threats.

Hire the licensed security companies
Look for the licensed security companies only. This is a great way to make your security more comprehensive. When you hire the services of the licensed security company, it is assured that they offer services of the trusted and reliable security men. Licensed security companies have commandos and armed security personnel also.

1 of 2 key American bike producers to survive the Good Despair (along with Indian),[2] the organization has lasted numerous possession preparations, subsidiary arrangements (e.g., Aermacchi 1974-1978 and Buell 1987-2009), intervals of poor financial wellness and product quality, as well as extreme global competition,[3] to become among the world's greatest motorcycle producers and an well-known company generally known for their dedicated following. You will find operator clubs and functions worldwide along with a company-sponsored brand-focused museum.
Noted for a type of customization that gave rise to the helicopter bike Indian Motorcycles 2019 style,[4] Harley-Davidson traditionally advertised heavyweight, air-cooled cruiser cycles with engine displacements greater than 700 cm³ and has broadened their choices to include their more contemporary VRSC (2002) and middle-weight Street (2015) platforms.
Harley-Davidson produces their bikes at factories in York, Pennsylvania; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Kansas Town, Mo (closing); Manaus, Brazil; and Bawal, India. Construction of a fresh place in Thailand is planned to start in late 2018[5]. The organization markets its products worldwide.
Besides cycles, the business permits and markets merchandise beneath the Harley-Davidson model, one of them apparel, house decor and decorations, extras, toys, and scale numbers of their cycles, and video gaming centered on Harley Davidson Logo Clip Art their bike point and the community.
Buell Bike Organization
Main report: Buell Bike Business
Buell Lightning XB9SX
Harley-Davidson's association with sportbike manufacturer Buell Bike Organization began in 1987 when they offered Buell with fifty surplus XR1000 engines. Buell continued to buy engines from Harley-Davidson until 1993, when Harley-Davidson acquired 49 per cent of the Buell Motorcycle Company.[71] Harley-Davidson improved its reveal in Buell to ninety-eight % in 1998, and to perform possession in 2003.
In an effort to entice beginners to motorcycling generally speaking and to Harley-Davidson specifically, Buell produced a low-cost, low-maintenance motorcycle. The ensuing single-cylinder Buell Boost was presented in 2000, and was made through 2009, Motorcycle Boots Women which, according to Buell, was to be the ultimate year of production. The Buell Boost was the training vehicle for the Harley-Davidson Rider's Edge New Rider Course from 2000 till Might 2014, when the organization re-branded the training academy and began using the Harley-Davidson Street 500 motorcycles. In these 14 decades, more than 350,000 players in the course realized to drive on the Buell Blast.
On April 15, 2009, Harley-Davidson Inc. released an official statement that it would be stopping the Buell point and ceasing generation immediately.[76] The mentioned purpose was to target on the Harley-Davidson brand. The organization refused to consider selling Buell. Motorcycle Braking Systems Founder Erik Buell eventually recognized Erik Buell Race and continued to manufacture and build the business's 1125RR racing motorcycle.
Bike engines
1,450 cc V-twin
Principal article: Harley-Davidson motor schedule
The classic Harley-Davidson engines are V-twin engines, with a 45° angle involving the cylinders. The crankshaft includes a simple pin, and equally pistons are attached to the pin through their connecting rods.
This 45° perspective is protected below several United States patents and is an engineering tradeoff which allows a big, high-torque engine in a comparatively little space. It causes the cylinders to fire at unequal intervals and provides the uneven "potato-potato" noise so clearly connected to the
To simplify the engine and minimize prices, the V-twin ignition was made to work with an individual set of items and number distributor. This is recognized as a double fireplace ignition system, producing both ignite connects to fire regardless of which tube was on their retention stroke, with the other ignite plug firing on their cylinder's exhaust stroke, efficiently "squandering a spark ".The fatigue note is simply a throaty growling sound with some popping. The 45° style of the motor therefore creates a put shooting sequencing as such: The first cylinder shoots, the second (rear) tube shoots 315° later, then there is Triumph Motorcycles For Sale a 405° difference before first tube shoots again, offering the engine its unique sound.[102]
Harley-Davidson has used numerous ignition methods through the duration of its record be it the early factors and condenser process, (Big Twin around 1978 and Sportsters around 1978), magneto ignition system utilized on some 1958 to 1969 Sportsters, early digital with centrifugal technical advance loads, (all versions 1978 and a half to 1979), or the late electric with transistorized ignition control component, more familiarly known as the black box or the mind, (all models 1980 to present).
Beginning in 1995, the business introduced Electric Gasoline Procedure (EFI) as an option Motorcycle Accessories Canada for the 30th wedding model Electra Glide. EFI became typical on all Harley-Davidson cycles, including Sportsters, upon the release of the 2007 item line.
In 1991, Harley-Davidson started initially to be involved in the Noise Quality Working Class, founded by Orfield Laboratories, Bruel and Kjaer, TEAC, Yamaha, Sennheiser, SMS and Cortex. This is the nation's first class to talk about research on emotional acoustics. Later that year, Harley-Davidson participated in a series of noise quality studies at Orfield Laboratories, based on tracks taken at the Talladega Superspeedway, with the purpose to reduce the sound level for EU standards while analytically acquiring the "Harley Sound".[citation
needed] This study triggered the bikes that have been introduced in conformity with EU requirements for 1998.
On Feb 1, 1994, the company registered a sound brand application for the exclusive noise of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle motor: "The tag consists of the fatigue sound of applicant's cycles, created by V-twin, popular crankpin motorcycle motors when the goods have been in use ".Nine of Harley-Davidson's rivals registered remarks opposing the application form, fighting that cruiser-style bikes of various manufacturers use a single-crankpin V-twin engine which produce a similar sound. These questions were followed by litigation. In July 2000, the organization dropped efforts to federally enroll their trademark.

Full English Breakfast or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Bloat
23 September 2008
Sweet holy balls, do I love me some breakfast. Why we don't eat breakfast all day is beyond me, because breakfast has fucking everything you could ever want in a meal: Incredible, edible eggs? Check. Glorious sausage? Yep. Potatoes of all varieties? Right on. Pan fried pork strips of almost debilitating goodness? You bet your ass, hombre. From hash to fried egg sandwiches, frittatas to big ol' plates of bacon, breakfast may be just the thing to get your day started on the right note, but can also serve as a mid day pick-me-up, a comforting supper, or even a relaxing repast after locking your children in their cages for the evening. I love breakfast so much that I once burned down a McDonald's after being denied an egg McMuffin at 10:32 a.m. I even sponsored House Bill 329, which mandated that lunch be renamed "Lunchfrast", and dinner renamed "Nighttime Breakfast" (because I don't have much of an imagination, that's why.)*
Much like John Cleese in comedy; The Rolling Stones in rock & roll; and Jason Statham in kicking ass while trying to find an antidote to the poison he was given, but if his heart rate drops he'll die, so he's got to do a whole bunch of crazy shit until he eventually falls out of a helicopter, or something, I can't remember what actually happened at the end of that movie; the English version of breakfast happens to be the best. That they alternately call FEB's "Fry Ups" should tell you all you need to know**. Where I live, there are a number of English restaurants and pubs, all of which are happy to serve you up a wonderful FEB, and also a collective punch in the sack should you make a remark like, "soccer is so fucking boring, now football – there's a real sport." I have my suspicions as to the authenticity of these establishments, however, as they are all equally disapproving of my perfect English accent, which I honed by watching Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady, seventeen times in a row. Regardless of their ungratefulness at my attempts at cultural awareness, sitting outside on their quiet patios, in front of a plate so full of food that it looks as though I'm about to engage in a bout of competitive eating, is just about as good as it gets. Throw in several glasses of Bushmills (neat) and you've got yourself a little slice of heaven, not to mention the very strong possibility of a reinvigorating mid-day throw up. Eating an FEB out at a restaurant, however, may not be conducive to immediate nap-time, which is why I'm going to show you how to make an English Fry-up, right at home, so as to minimize any unnecessary movements between you and your couch.
Stuff to Put on Your Plate:
Baked beans
Sauteed mushrooms
Grilled tomato
Holy shit, that's a lotta food
Fried bread
Sweet, glorious, magnificent HP Sauce
Cook, Guv'na
You could probably scramble, poach, or serve your eggs over-easy, but why, oh, why would you do that when you can fry them instead? No, seriously, why the fuck would you do that? These luscious poultry zygotes will serve as the anchor for our Anglican breakfast bounty, and leaving the yolks nice and runny means that we'll eventually have a vibrant little cholesterol soup which we can later sop up with our meats. While you're frying shit, go ahead and throw some rashers of bacon in a pan and crisp-up those bad boys, too. In that same pan, saute some potatoes, thus making them taste just like the bacon. I see nothing wrong with this. I'll let you decide what kind of sausage you want, but try and stay away from those fancy new-fangled sausages with froo-froo ingredients in them, such as spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or the soundtrack to Funny Girl. These additives will take away from the over-all meatiness of the meal, and, besides, what are you, some kind of nancy-boy?
Here's where things get interesting (or, as Will Smith would say: "Shit just got real"). I don't know what genius tossed convention aside and decided to have baked beans with his breakfast, but he did all of us a favor, because beans at any time, but especially with eggs, bacon, and sausage, is delicious. Another curious addition to our breakfast is sauteed mushrooms, which, while delicious, seem rather arbitrary. Feel free to deep fry them, in keeping with the spirit of this meal, in particular, and that of this blog, in general. A grilled half tomato is also added, either as a means of making you feel as though you're eating something healthy, or, more likely, as an ironic means of affrontery to all things recommended by the FDA Food Pyramid.
Perhaps my favorite part of an FEB is the fried bread. Jesus Horatio Christ, is fried bread good. Why on earth would you simply toast your bread, when you could cook it in butter and/or oil, instead? Because you're a misanthrope and you hate our freedom, that's why. Blood sausage is another awesome addition to an FEB, but unless you feel like making a special trip to get some, you're probably okay leaving this off the menu. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, is the addition of the inimitable HP sauce. You could put HP sauce on a dead cat and it would taste delicious – trust me. Apply HP liberally to your meats, eggs, beans, bread, chest, and groin region. Apply it to your pet for a lustrous, shiny coat. Apply a little elbow grease to something and it may get done, but apply a little elbow grease and some HP, and it will get done deliciously.
And there you have it, the glorious Full English Breakfast. It should go without saying that this thing is going to give you a monstrous case of The Bloat, but don't worry about it: you'll probably be passed out from an advanced case of meat sweats, in no time, anyway. Hopefully you'll regain consciousness right before a nice light dinner of fish & chips, meat pies, and bangers and mash.
*I'm just kidding, I didn't actually do this. I'm not even in Congress… Yet.
**Some food critic for The Times of London – the very Britishly named "Giles Coren" – wrote a scathing review of the FEB (while peering through his monocle), in which he claimed that "you never see anyone with a degree eating a fry up…they're smart enough to know better." Well, Mr. Coren, not only do I have several degrees, and happen to be a registered scientist, but never once have I… Wait, what was I talking about? Ooooo, look: shiny pretty things and boobs…

Many owners in Europe are also having some of the same problems as those in the US, that of constant upgrading when on holiday. One of the main tactics that has been used is the the price per point is about to go up, buy now and save money.
Many have been told the reason for the increase, is that it is to bring them in line with the price in the US. Some have even been told that today's price will be frozen for them until their next holiday, or even they are entitled to last years price only if they buy today. All timeshare has in the past been sold on the "stack and drop" model, it gave the impression of the purchaser getting a bargain.
It must be said that in Europe things are changing, although there are some who still use the old methods. Unfortunately, the lack of a resale market is one of the biggest concerns, especially when clients are told they can sell, usually for more than they paid. The following article explains the problems in the US, many readers in Europe may have come across this here as well.
Is this Timeshare Proposal merely Monopoly Money?
You decide based on facts
By Irene Parker – February 22, 2017
From Wikipedia
Monopoly money is a type of play money used in the board game Monopoly. It is different from most currencies, including the American currency or British currency upon which it is based,
Diamond Resorts points, according to Diamond Resorts sales agents, should be looked upon as "currency" in that Diamond vacation points can be used for a variety of uses – just like real money. But does a Diamond point equate real currency?
Diamond Resort owners rarely can even give their vacation points away should the need to sell arise. Seeking to sell our Diamond vacation points due to overly aggressive sales presentations, rising maintenance fees, and availability falling far short of what was promised, I contacted David Cortese of Magical Realty.
David Cortese is one of 64 Licensed Timeshare Resale Brokers who will buy and sell any major timeshare except Diamond Resorts non-deeded points, as the LTRBA members feel the restrictions Diamond places on the use of secondary market points is so onerous, it renders the points worthless on resale.
My husband and I paid $3.06 per point for 6,000 Diamond points in 2012.
Imagine the dismay of a consumer presented with the following figures during a sales presentation – after they learn the points they purchased are worthless when they try to sell. Is the buyer informed of the lack of a secondary market? The prices below are easily the cost of a nice home. Who would buy a $400,000 home that became worthless on resale the moment the contract was signed?
What difference does the inflated price make to anyone but the selling agent and the company?
- 2013 Price per point $5.06 to $7.50
- 2014 Price per point $7.70 to $7.95
- 2015 Price per point $8.11 to $8.20
- 2016 Price per point $8.28 to $8.51
The following chart was also presented:
- 8,500 points @ $72,420 ($8.52 per point)
- 17,000 points @ $144,840
- 25,500 points @ $217,260
- 34,000 points @ $289,680
- 42,500 points @ $362,100
- 51,000 points @ $434,520 ($8.52 per point)
Our existing owner was told, if they buy today, and with approval from above, they can buy points today for $4.80.
What benefit is this to a consumer if the points have no secondary market?
In addition to our personal price history, Roddy Boyd of Southern Investigative Reporting Foundation included a price per point history in a price chart included in his article "Diamond Resorts and Its Perpetual Mortgage Machine" showing the price per point trending down to the $2 to $4 point range until 2014. Diamond did review the article pre-publishing.
The Chart obtained from owner lawsuits:
The Kroll Bond Rating Agency, as reported by National Mortgage News, offered the following warning, concerned with Diamond's default rate:
Since the timeshare operator (Diamond Resorts) completing its previous offering, in November 2015, losses on the loans it makes to customers have been rising, primarily because more borrowers are seeking legal representation, according to KBRA. (Kroll Bond Rating Agency)
The ratings agency's pre sale report attributes this to "a handful of [law] firms, targeting certain timeshare borrowers" and to borrowers' use of "cease and desist" letters. The presale report does not elaborate, but TheStreet and The New York Times have reported that the company is battling two lawsuits over its business practices.
These reportedly include pressuring owners to upgrade their membership in order to obtain benefits that do not materialize or are not as represented.
According to KBRA, the legal actions have dropped from their peak in the first half of 2016, but remain high compared with historical levels.
The ratings agency has the subordinate tranche of notes issued by a deal completed in July 2015 are under review for a possible downgrade.
Defaults reported by the deal, Diamond Resorts Owner Trust 2015-1, are zero, but only because the sponsor has been exercising its right to repurchase defaulted loans or substitute them with new loans. The company has the right to do this for up to 15% of the defaulted loans. However, it is not obliged to do so, and KBRA does not assume it will do so when it rates the bonds.
Diamond has also undergone a change in ownership. In September, the company was taken private by Apollo Global Management, which acquired it in a deal valued at $2.2 billion.
KBRA notes that, while other timeshare operators, including Wyndham, are experienced higher losses as the result of legal actions, "Diamond seems to be most affected."
The presale report also notes that Diamond has made several changes designed to address the issue, including communicating with borrowers and attorneys on loans when possible and revising its sales and marketing training.
Bottom line: KBRA has increased its default expectation for the latest transaction considerably. Its base case is for gross losses of 17.9%-19.9%, compared with 13.05%-14.05% for the November 2015 transaction.
Roughly 99% of obligors are domestic and the weighted average FICO score is 732. However, the weighted average seasoning of seven months is approximately three months higher than in the previous transaction. The average loan balance remains high, at just over $25,000, which KBRA attributes to Diamond targeting obligors with higher FICO scores and incentivizing existing customers to upgrade into higher points programs.
Wells Fargo Bank will act as the "warm" back-up servicer in this transaction should the company experience deterioration in performance and be terminated as servicer.
At the very least, a timeshare buyer's greatest advice:
Stay Informed and Seek Support
We seek to provide Diamond Resort members a way to proactively address membership concerns; to advocate for timeshare reform; to obtain greater disclosure from the company; to advocate for a viable secondary market; and to educate prospective buyers.
Buyers should also beware a Diamond point at $8.52 is worth only pennies used for travel awards.
Inside Timeshare would like to thank Irene for the article, it has certainly shed some light on these practises. As we said in the opening, Europe is changing the way timeshare and points are sold, it still has a long way to go, but it is heading in the right direction.
Your comments and stories are always welcome, just contact Inside Timeshare and we will get back to you.

Not really. I've been fortunate enough to observe 100's (probably not far off the 1000 mark) in the space of 8 hours back in 1998.
If that happened again now, I'd bet quite a few people on this forum would be forecasting the end of the world as we know it.

That incident in your link was predicted as a regular meteor shower, and anyway there were only a few actual "fireballs" as it says in the link, no one reported "hundreds" of "fireballs", most were shooting stars, streaks in the sky.
Valentin Grigore of the Romanian Society for Meteors and Astronomy is an experienced meteor observer who monitored the Leonid shower from Targoviste, Romania on the night of 16/17 November. In a 6-hour observing period under dark skies he saw 796 meteors, of which 193 were fireballs. When the shower peaked in Romania, with 200+ meteors per hour, nearly 40% of the shooting stars were brighter than magnitude -3. Many were brighter than Jupiter, Venus, and the full moon.
Leonids '98: Fireballs Galore!
(First Reports from Observers)
By the Editors of
Sky & Telescope Magazine
THE LEONID METEOR SHOWER has come and gone! The deluge of reports that poured into Sky & Telescope's office over the last few days has now dwindled to a trickle. If not for these reports, S&T's editors wouldn't have much to say about how the shower went, because -- sob! -- we were 100% clouded out.
More fortunate observers all over the world tell the same story: this year's Leonids were rife with dazzling fireballs, many so bright that they cast shadows. Long-lasting trains were common. Many skygazers counted meteors at rates exceeding one a minute, though the hoped-for "meteor storm" with rates of many meteors per second never materialized -- despite some reports to the contrary (see the end of this article for an explanation).
Here are excerpts from some of the Leonid e-mail we've received, in chronological order as the zone of the shower's visibility swept westward around the world over the past two nights:
Stuart Atkinson
4:50 UT Nov 17
Just got back in from a brief look at the sky... and the show is still going on...! Even though it's rather cloudy -- not thick cloud, low, misty stuff leaving tantalising gaps -- the meteors are visible through the cloud, travelling very quickly, many of them ending with terminal flares and bursts. I just saw three magnitude -7 fireballs in the space of 5 mins, and one amazing -9 or so fireball which ended in a flare which lit up everything... Even in the areas completely hidden by cloud there are flashes and burst of light, making the sky look like there's a WW2 artillery bombardment going on, unbelievable, truly spectacular.... The meteors are travelling far, far quicker than I expected; if you think you're going to be able to follow them in binoculars, you're wrong, they're faaaaaaaaaaaast!!!
Malcolm Currie
3:40 UT Nov. 17
For telescopic [meteor] observers like myself [who monitor a shower's very faintest meteors with optical aid] tonight was a major disappointment. Where were the faint meteors? The incessant flashes of fireballs -- some coming just seconds apart -- were a great distraction too. At times I lost my night vision thanks to the -12 or brighter events peppering the sky. Then there were the demands to turn the 'scope on to the long duration trains (some as long as 20 minutes). To be fair, it was an awe-inspiring sight to see crepe paper, hollow spiral trails, and new nebulae in the sky.
Joost Hartman et al.
The Netherlands
4:15 UT Nov. 17
Oh, what a night. The sky was clouded over 95%. Through the holes in the clouds we observed for half an hour [3:45-04:15 UT Nov. 17). And we saw the most beautiful meteors we have ever seen. Sometimes the clouds were beautifully lit up by the fireballs behind them. To give a magnitude to the meteors is difficult because of the bad weather conditions, but I say most were -4 and brighter.
Francisco A. Rodriguez Ramirez
Canary Islands
6:00 UT Nov. 17
I don't have words to say what happened the last night. About 15 of us on the summits of Gran Canaria, at 0:00 UT Nov. 17, were preparing our cameras and finishing our preparations when the [shower's radiant rose and meteor rates began] ascending in moments, fireballs crossed the whole sky.... Some reached magnitudes of -9, most left a train of several seconds and the most brilliant with trains 5 minutes visually. As the radiant rose higher in the east we observed bigger activity, for moments we were not able to record our count because even in intervals of 2 seconds we saw up to 6 meteors. Until dawn the activity maintained, with some ups and downs, but always characterized by fireballs.... From 0:30 to 6:00 UT [one observer] counted about 800 meteors.
Roberta Burnes
9:15 UT Nov. 17
I observed the Leonids for a brief hour Tuesday morning (between 3:15 and 4:15 a.m. EST) and, despite at least 50% obscuration from clouds & fog, witnessed 2 meteors per minute right up until the sky completely clouded over! Several fireballs displayed bright green and violet.... Never before have I seen a meteor shower that made me scream and squeal with such delight!
Scott Degenhardt
11:00 UT Nov. 17
I was seeing meteor rates of near 100 per hour off and on this morning. I was seeing better than 300 PER HOUR THROUGH DENSE FOG after 5AM CST. This was only the fireballs and doesn't even count the fainter ones....
Mark Mikutis
morning of Nov. 17
Just came in to warm up. My feet are frozen. So far have observed for 3 hours Teff under nice clear skies -- limiting magnitude 6.0. SIMPLY UNBELIEVABLE!!! At times rates as high as 5-6/min. Fantastic fireballs illuminating the horizons. Geese on the lake going nuts. I've never seen anything like this before in my life!!!
Christopher Beau Dodson
10:00 UT Nov. 17
I headed for the countryside at 3 a.m. Central Time and watched the skies for one hour. We counted over 100 meteors including more than 50 fireballs. The fireballs left streaks of green, yellow, pink, and red. Two lit the sky so one could see the surrounding countryside.
The meteors were streaking from every direction.... We witnessed one spectacular pink fireball on the southern horizon that lit up the sky as if lightning had flashed.
I have watched a number of meteor showers but nothing compares. I will never forget the Leonids of 1998!

Many of the daytime fireballs we are seeing now, including this incident of four and the Russian meteor do not coincide with any known regular meteor showers.

I am pretty sure it would be hard to miss such an event, compared to these pea shooters. Till then party hardy like its 1998.

Feminists, the group no one wants to admit to joining anymore, are stuck defending their dying university departments, and so have to come up with something novel to prove we ladies, er women...er, wimyn are completely equal to men. Unfortunately, that means denying reality--not that women are in any way inferior to men, but that women are physically hard-wired to be different. From an evolutionary point of view--and certainly these wimyn are pro-evolution and NOT pro Intelligent Design--gender roles make efficient sense. You'd think that over millennia, the fittest survived because the baby-bearers could tend to the young, and the non-nursers could go out and use their brute strength to club some animal for food. And while the Big Guy was out, the ladies could perfect their nurturing skills and communicating skills and the guys could refine their grunting about sports.
The proud and loud feminists don't care for such roles. Because the evolutionary explanation implies that somehow there's a reason other than acculturation and discrimination for why fewer women choose mathematics as a career, and why so many decide to derail their CEO aspirations to coo to infants.
Certainly Prof. Hyde and her cohort have gone to great lengths to support the feminist thesis. They played a few statistical tricks by taking a wide range of apples, oranges, nectarines, bananas and other fruity outcomes and applying a meta-analysis to them. That means the professor didn't tease out the methods of the studies she examined, or rate their quality, or separate out potential underlying factors such as varying goals of researchers--instead she took their outcome numbers and divided results into male and female and compared them, in big hunks. When you mish-mash together piles of studies--which were already conglomerated analyses of OTHER studies--you're sure to lose significance as everything regresses to the mean in a tired heap.
So she found that the differences in outcomes were not so very large. Surprise.
And then, oh yes, an aside--despite her glomming everything together, men STILL showed themselves significantly more agressive, more sexually oriented, and physically stronger. Shockeroo.
Naturally, the American Psychological Association made a big press release titled "MEN AND WOMEN FOUND MORE SIMILAR THAN PORTRAYED IN POPULAR MEDIA, ACCORDING TO RESEARCH ON GENDER DIFFERENCES"
Here's an excerpt of the APA press release for her Sept. 2005 article: Over-inflated claims of gender difference seen in the mass media affect men and women in work, parenting and relationships, said Hyde. Studies of gender and evaluation of leaders in the workplace show that women who go against the caring, nurturing stereotype may pay for it dearly when being hired or evaluated. This also happens with the portrayals of relationships in the media. Best-selling books and popular magazine articles assert that women and men can't get along because they communicate too differently, said Dr. Hyde. Maybe the problem is that they give up prematurely because they believe they can't change what they mistakenly believe is an innate trait, she added.
I see. I'm afraid her meta-analyses haven't convinced me that there are no innate differences between men and women. Certainly both genders have many similarities--both are human, both share goals, both strive to create together an integrated, harmonious life. But though men and women are in many ways similar, there's no denying their differences. Thirty years post-Gloria Steinem we've had plenty of practice being non-sexist. And somehow, girls still want dolls and boys still use their sisters' Barbies...as guns.

Corky Crafts
Feeling crafty in the dullness of winter? Start saving corks from wine bottles you've been enjoying on girls' night or with your hubby-to-be, and soon enough, you'll be able to transform your corks into cutesy crafts for the wedding. These ideas are perfect for a wedding held at a winery or vineyard or simply for the couple who loves wine. Cheers!
Cork marks the spot in this case, providing a simple and fun stand for place cards. Carefully cut a rounded edge from the cork's side to create a flat surface, and then cut a slit on the opposite side of the cork. Wedge place cards in the slit and arrange in an elegantly tasteful display.
This massive corked display of love was hung at Veritas Vineyards as part of the Virginia is for Lovers campaign. Represent your love for one another as well as your love of fine vino by constructing a smaller version of this display to spell out love, a monogram of your last name together or even your wedding date.
Incorkorate (sorry, couldn't resist) your centerpieces by purchasing clear glass containers, placing a candle in the center and filling the outside with corks. Mix and match shapes and sizes of containers, and play around with displaying different containers together as one centerpiece. Make sure your candles are encased in glass; otherwise it could end up a melted mess.
Give your guests a corky keepsake by creating key chains for each person. All you'll need is an abundance of corks, some key chain rings and screw eyes. Go a step further by attaching beads in your wedding colors or other sentimental trinkets to the keychain to dress it up a bit, and don't forget to attach something to represent your wedding such as a note with your names and the date.
Put your homemade stamp of approval on the envelope of the invitations by making your very own wine cork stamp. Trace your wine cork on a large polymer eraser, and carve whatever design you like—a heart, sweet lovebirds, your own imaginative creation—into the stamp. Cut out the circle using an x-acto knife, and glue the eraser to the wine cork. Press on an inkpad, and stamp away!
Get fun and creative with your corks! Just promise you won't go this far.

Texas Supreme Court Issues Bypass Rules That Are More Extreme Than H.B. 3994, the Law the Texas Legislature Passed to Rewrite the Bypass Law
The Texas Supreme Court issued rules today implementing the judicial bypass law that takes effect January 1, 2016. A judicial bypass allows a minor to obtain court approval to consent to her own health care rather than obtain parental consent for an abortion.
Although the Supreme Court's own Advisory Committee — a panel of prominent judges and attorneys — recommended rules that would minimize constitutional violations, the Supreme Court rejected them, and instead issued final rules governing the judicial bypass process that add unconstitutional provisions even the Texas legislature rejected.
"The rules advisory committee offered suggestions to make the new law, House Bill 3994, more useful for both the courts and the clients, and less unconstitutional," said Susan Hays, who served on a specially convened judicial bypass rules subcommittee as a resource expert. Hays is the legal counsel and a founding mother of Jane's Due Process.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the judicial bypass process must be anonymous, expeditious, and provide an effective opportunity for an abortion to be obtained. Teens often pursue a bypass when parents are abusive, missing, deported, incarcerated, deceased, or drug-addicted.
"Judicial bypass protects vulnerable pregnant teens who cannot find or safely turn to a parent," said Tina Hester, executive director of Jane's Due Process. "But the legislature and Governor Abbott decided to go after abused and neglected pregnant teens by amending this law." HB 3994 passed the state legislature and was signed by Governor Greg Abbott on June 12, 2015.
The new law imposes far-reaching restrictions. Most significantly by removing the enforcement of deadlines for the judge to rule, effectively allowing a judge to stall out a minor until she can no longer obtain a legal abortion. "When a minor cannot even get a hearing or a court ruling in time, the state is then making her decision for her. Such abuse of state power amounts to an "absolute veto" of her decision and is under U.S. Supreme Court precedent unconstitutional." Hays said.
The new law — as exacerbated by these rules — dismantles the longstanding judicial bypass law and places numerous limitations on pregnant teenagers seeking court access for legal permission to consent to their own medical care including:
- Extending the time for a judge to rule from two business days to five — then declaring a case denied if the judge does not rule or refuses to even give the minor her day in court. Considering the time-sensitive nature of a pregnancy, dragging out the process by even just a few more days could have the very harmful effect of pushing a minor into a more expensive or invasive procedure or past the legal limit for abortion, especially considering long clinic wait times since HB 2.
- Requiring minors to provide the judge her name, home address, and phone number, destroying her anonymity and violating her confidentiality.
- With few exceptions, requiring minors to file in their home county if its population is more than 10,000 (which covers 169, or two thirds of Texas' 254 counties, including almost every county in East Texas.) "How heartless for the law to have no exception for a rape survivor fearful of seeing her rapist at the courthouse," Hays pointed out.
To make matters worse, many courthouses are unwilling to assist minors in applying for bypass. A 2015 Jane's Due Process survey of more than 80 Texas counties found that 81% of counties did not have immediate knowledge of the judicial bypass process and 37% of the counties denied entirely a teenager's ability to file for a bypass. In counties with fewer than 50,000 people, the refusal rate was 58%. "When courthouse doors are slammed in these girls' faces, Jane's Due Process will be there to help," Hester promised.
Jane's Due Process is a non-profit legal referral organization that assists pregnant minors in Texas regardless of what choice they make about their unintended pregnancies.

A new high-order method for the accurate simulation of incompressible wall-bounded flows is presented. In the stream- and spanwise directions the discretisation is performed by standard Fourier series, while in the wall-normal direction the method combines high-order collocated compact finite differences with the influence matrix method to calculate the pressure boundary conditions that render the velocity field exactly divergence-free. The main advantage over Chebyshev collocation is that in wall-normal direction, the grid can be chosen freely and thus excessive clustering near the wall is avoided. This can be done while maintaining the high-order approximation as offered by compact finite differences. The discrete Poisson equation is solved in a novel way that avoids any full matrices and thus improves numerical efficiency. Both explicit and implicit discretisations of the viscous terms are described, with the implicit method being more complex, but also having a wider range of applications. The method is validated by simulating two-dimensional Tollmien-Schlichting waves, forced transition in turbulent channel flow, and fully turbulent channel flow at friction Reynolds number Re-tau = 395, and comparing our data with analytical and existing numerical results. In all cases, the results show excellent agreement showing that the method simulates all physical processes correctly.
A new method to perform direct numerical simulations of wall-bounded flows has been developed and implemented. The method uses high-order compact finite differences in wall-normal (for channel flow) or radial direction (for pipe flow) on a collocated grid, which gives high-accuracy results without the effectfof filtering caused by frequent interpolation as required on a staggered grid. The use of compact finite differences means that extreme clustering near the wall leading to small time steps in high-Reynolds number simulations is avoided. The influence matrix method is used to ensure a completely divergence-freesolution and all systems of equations are solved in banded form, which ensures an effcient solution procedure with low requirements for data storage. The method is unique in the sense that exactly divergence-free solutions on collocated meshes are calculated using arbitrary dffierence matrices.
The code is validated for two flow cases, i.e. turbulent channel and turbulent pipe flow at relatively low Reynolds number. All tests show excellent agreement with analytical and existing results, confirming the accuracy and robustness ofthe method. The next step is to eciently parallelise the code so that high-Reynolds number simulations at high resolution can be performed.
We furthermore investigated rare events occurring in the near-wall region of turbulent wall-bounded flows. We find that negative streamwise velocities and extreme wall-normal velocity uctuations are found rarely (on the order of 0:01%), and that they occur more frequently at higher Reynolds number. These events are caused by strong vortices lying further away from the wall and it appears that these events are universal for wall-bounded flows.

CalExotics inks 'biggest exclusive deal in its history'
Posted: July 17, 2018
Scala has announced it has signed an exclusive European distribution agreement with CalExotics, which also includes upmarket sister company Jopen, and it has been described as 'the biggest exclusive deal in CalExotics' history'. Scala will now be the official distributor for CalExotics and Jopen products in 26 European countries, and director Trudy Pijnacker described the deal as 'an honour', adding: "CalExotics is the premium name on the adult market. Its rich heritage of experience and knowledge about the industry, combined with its innovative approach to new products and collections, has established CalExotics as the go-to name for trendy erotic pleasure. As Scala is the go-to name in erotic distribution, we're confident this exclusive partnership will only pave the way for many more exciting ventures, projects and mutual successes."
Scala says that one of the immediate benefits that retailers will enjoy from this deal is consistency in product pricing and availability. Scala and CalExotics will also work together to help retailers maximise their sales, including offering marketing materials and detailed product information.
"We have already started working on exclusive content and materials for our customers to help them maximize sales potential," said Trudy Pijnacker. "We can't wait to expand the CalExotics brand and take it to the next level on the European market."
Scala is also appointing a CalExotics brand ambassador, and CalExotics will be an integral part of September's Scala In-house Experience Event, which will include product trainings, workshops and other activities.
"This is the biggest exclusive deal in CalExotics history," said Susan Colvin, founder and CEO of CalExotics. She added that Scala has long been a strong supporter of CalExotics, and done well with exclusive projects such as the Inspire, Jack Rabbit Signature, and Red Hot Collections, and with the recent changes at Scala, it was a great opportunity for the two companies to make a strong partnership and consolidate distribution channels in the EU.
"Scala has been an invaluable partner for us for many years and we are thrilled to work exclusively with them," says Jackie White, executive vice president of CalExotics.
Sharp-eyed readers will have spotted that this deal covers 26 European countries. As the UK will be leaving the EU, it is not included in this distribution agreement, and current distributors in the UK will continue to sell CalExotics and Jopen products.

text: Qigong is an aspect of traditional Chinese medicine that involves coordinating breathing patterns with physical postures to maintain health and well-being. Wu Qin Xi: Five-Animal Qigong Exercises is an accessible, fully-illustrated guide to a particular qigong exercise that imitates the movements of animals and birds. The book explores the development of the five-animal exercises from the work of Hua Tua, a leading physician of the Eastern Han Dynasty whose inspiration came from the observation of tigers, deer, bears, monkeys and birds. He came to the conclusion that wild creatures regularly performed certain exercises which can be replicated in order to build up the constitution and improve life skills. Each routine is described step-by-step, and is illustrated with photographs and key points. The authors also point out common mistakes and offer advice on how to correct these. Complemented by an appendix of acupuncture points and accompanied by a DVD, this book will be of interest to Qigong and Tai Chi practitioners at all levels, students of martial arts and anyone interested in Chinese culture.

Valero to Local Farmers: What Contracts?
"Investing in Excellence: Focused on the Future" toots their homepage slogan. Evidently that focus on the future doesn't recognize any excellence in the contracts VeraSun had with local farmers: San Antonio-based Valero says it won't honor the contracts VeraSun had with local farmers to pay prices negotiated when the corn market was a little better before VeraSun's bankruptcy. "We bought hardware, not contracts," says a Valero spokesperson. Clever devils.
Valero does at least promise to run the Aurora ethanol plant at full capacity. But farmers who thought they had their books balanced for the year will have the pleasure of renegotiating with a new batch of corporate sharks from Texas.
Forgive me if I don't send a basket of fruit to welcome Valero to town.
3 comments:
The farmers could have no one to buy their corn if Valero didn't step in...ReplyDelete
If any farmer thought they were going to get those prices after Verasun filed for chapter 11 they were living in a dream-world. I know it's terrible and it would have been nice if Valero would have honored them, but they didn't need to. I will say that they should have for a PR standpoint. They would have gotten a lot of great press had they said "yeah, we're going to honor them." But here is the deal as well, what about all of the stock? Valero didn't buy the company, just the plants. This means that they get all of the plants but don't have to pay for the stock of the company, which means people are going to be out a lot of money...so it doesn't surprise me that they also didn't want to honor the contracts...ReplyDelete

Cleverer. For Valero its win-win-win. They pay about $477 million for about 440 million gallons per year of production. The petroleum blenders' tax credit of $0.45 per gallon then gives Valero a $198 million dollar per year tax credit. So the tax credits alone pay for plants in a little over two years. Plus they receive an unimpeded supply of oxidizing agent.ReplyDelete

- Cyano Clean - Korallen-Zucht
Target the root cause of a Cyanobacteria outbreak with Cyano Clean from Korallen-Zucht.
- Formulated with nutrient-scavenging bacterial strains that diminish Cyanobacteria's food source
- Reef-safe and does not alter nutrient composition of tank
- Dose weekly for preventative measure
- Contains no antibiotics
- Will not affect biological filtration
Cyano Clean's performance can be considerably enhanced when utilized as a companion product to Coral Snow and/ or Zeozym; to safely eliminate unsightly red slime algae from your saltwater aquarium.
Korallen-Zucht Dosing Instructions
- 2 drops per each 100L of net water volume, daily
It does work, with patience.. By Carlos on 11/17/2019Carlos would recommend this product to a friendI had a stubborn case of red cyano in my SPS tank. I decided to try Cyano Clean along with Coral Snow. Started to see a results after the sixth week of daily use of both products. I preferred not to use a chemical temporary solution and choosed a long term biological solution. It took a total of 40ml of Cyano Clean to see results in my 130 gal system. Did use almost double the recommended dose.
KZ Cyano Clean By Eric on 5/30/2019Eric would recommend this product to a friendIt does work. I might use ChemiClean for any kind of big cyano problems but if you have a small cyano problem cyano clean works.
side effect from this product ??? By scott on 4/10/2019scott would recommend this product to a friendI would recommend this product overall. PRO's : 1) It does work over time 2) side effect- reduced/eliminated Dino's CON's : 1) Effect takes 3-4 weeks to actually see results 2) felt I had to over dose alittle (6-8 drops total/day) 65g of actual water.
NOTE: Patience is req.as actual result are seen around the end of recommended treatment time. grrrr
Patience pays off By Lake on 2/2/2019Lake would recommend this product to a friendTook 6 weeks of patience and I went a few drops over the recommended dose and all but a few small areas are gone.
It works but you gotta keep dosing!! By Vincent on 8/4/2018Vincent would recommend this product to a friendIt takes about 2 weeks but it works. But I found that you have to ween your tank down to twice weekly to keep it gone.
No progress after 1 month. By Chris on 10/4/2017Chris wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI've been using it on my 120 gallon reef. I dose 8 drops a day and it has not done any noticeable damage to my cyanobacteria. I'll give it another month before I use the Chemiclean.
Not a cure all for cyano, but hoping it'll be a good preventative going forward By Jay on 4/23/2017Jay wouldn't recommend this product to a friendThis won't get rid of a cyano problem. I had to dose Chemiclean to completely getting rid of cyano, but that then caused other issues. I'm dosing Cyano Clean on a preventative in the hopes of keeping cyano from returning.
Does not work in my tank By lawrence on 3/26/2017lawrence wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI didn't have a large cyano outbreak - I just had some stubborn cyano for a while after adding carbon. Quickly I ordered Korallen Cyano Clean from BRS and stopped the carbon. I started dosing Cyano Clean for 10 days and I did not see any improvement. Fortunately I still had some leftover of ChemiClean in the drawer. I added 1/4 of recommended dose of ChemiClean and cyano was gone in 48 hours. Now there is no cyano.
Zero impact By Tom on 2/15/2017Tom wouldn't recommend this product to a friendHasn't done a thing to my cyano problem. No dosing instructions. Money down the drain and I still have cyano.
This is the real deal By Anthony on 9/9/2016Anthony would recommend this product to a friendHey guys who ever has a cyanno problem this is the answer you are looking for dose what it calls for and watch your skimmer do the work and bacteria clean it up for you I had a big one and this clean it all with a 10% water change. My tank it's 150 gallons so if I could do it you can do it too.
not great... By merlinpi on 1/25/2016merlinpi wouldn't recommend this product to a friendused it in conjunction with A-Balance, Coral snow, Zeozym, and Bio-Mate, then progressively upped the dosage until i got to 5 times the recommended dosages, almost starved fish to death, with no nitrite, nitrates or ammonia measurable, the best it could do was a slight improvement. Stopped it, dosed Chemiclean according to instructions, skimmer went crazy, and cyano is gone. for how long? only time would tell, but disappointed with this product.
Works, but with a little help. By David on 1/15/2016David would recommend this product to a friendFirst off let me state I do not run a zeo system but do have an ULNS through carbon dosing and 10% weekly WC schedule. As one of the side effects of carbon dosing, Cyano can be a big problem. I have tried other products and 3 day blackouts in the past with only temporary success. I tried using this product for 6 straight weeks with no visible change in cyano. Then I decided to try a 3 day blackout along with the kz. As with times past the blackout seemed to get rid of the cyano. I kept dosing daily expecting to see the nasty stuff to return, but it didn't! It has been 6 weeks since the blackout and I have yet to see even a trace of cyano. I am very pleased as this has been a struggle for me for 2 years and tried every other reef safe product on the market. I have always been intimidated by the KZ line, now I am confident you can use bits and pieces of the kz line with no problem.
Should it be refrigerated after opening?
Question posted on Nov 3, 2016 2:33:00 PM
Great question! It is recommended to refrigerate after opening. :-)

This IS a challenge
Their mother didn't seem stressed out. They just followed her around like the sweet little ducklings that they are. Maybe I should have gotten some pointers!
** On a happy note the librarian said that they could join the toddler story hour early (it is typically for 2 yr. olds) as long as they could sit still. I plan to try one and see how it goes because I truly am not sure that their little active selves can handle a 1/2 hour story time.

Who Are YOU...
and what have you done with Alex and Eli????
My children have decided to begin to pick up food for themselves. This is crazy because as of 2 weeks or less ago they still opened up their mouths baby bird style and waited for Mama bird to feed them. Today in order to give me something to blog about they decided to even use utensils. I handed the forks to them thinking this should be entertaining and they LOVED it. They were particularly interested with the stabbing of the food. I'm pretty sure they may have done this a while ago but with them being my first I just continued to feed them myself. Now, however, I sit there like hmmm what should I be doing??? I guess I will continue to watch in awe of them :) Boys, you continually amaze me with all of this growing up stuff but please don't be in such a hurry!!!

- Alex today at Target today we turned to go down an aisle where there was a cute girl stocking the shelves and you proclaimed "HI!". It was hysterical because it was in the right context and everything. She kindly returned your "hi" and we were on our way.
- Eli your Leap Frog table said "yellow" in it's weird female leap frog voice and you repeated "yellow" as if this is a word you'd been practicing.
- You are EVERYWHERE. Not walking yet but very quick crawlers.
- You love playing in my curtains and hiding behind them.
- You love putting your hands all over Daddy's new plasma TV and he dutifully wipes off your grungy finger prints nightly.
- Eli you make the funniest face that I have yet to get a good picture of but I will and someday it will probably embarrass you.
- You both are at a stage where you protest almost everything but at the same time you are unpredictable so sometimes laying you down for a diaper change puts you over the edge and the next time as I hunker down for a battle you sweetly lay back and patiently wait for me to finish.
- You are enjoying biting apples (preferably the ones Daddy is trying to eat). We tried popsicles per Dr.'s order due to Alex's sore throat and fever and while Alex learned to not bite into it this concept is foreign to you Eli. You continually try and bite down on it and make this hideous scraping noise with your teeth and look at us like "why does anyone enjoy this kind of pain?".
