Milaha posts higher profit
Doha-based Qatar Navigation (Milaha) reported a 10 percent rise in its profit in the first three months of the year.
The company's first-quarter net profit was 260 million Qatari Riyals ($71.4m), up from 236 million Qatari Riyals for the same period in 2017.
Operating revenues rose to 698 million Qatari Riyals while operating profit increased to 203 million Qatari Riyals, the company said on Monday.
However, Milaha Gas & Petrochem's revenue decreased by 5 million Qatari Riyals and net profit by 54 million Qatari Riyals.
"Low shipping rates and the knock-on effect on vessel valuations in the sectors we operate continue to put a damper on profits," the company said.
Milaha Gas & Petrochem owns two LNG carriers and also holds partial stakes in seven LNG carriers. It is also the largest shareholder in Qatari LNG shipping giant Nakilat.

Hi Annabelle,
I was wondering if you could help me out with something. My doctor has recommended that I get knee replacement surgery. I am trying to identify the best hospital for this sort of procedure. My doctor says she usually recommends City Hospital, but I have heard that upstate Hospital specializes in this kind of surgery. You had a similar procedure last year, didn't you? I think you broke your knee, or was it your elbow? which hospital did you go to? Were you satisfied with the results of your treatment, and were you well cared for by the staff? I would appreciate the benefit of your advice. I need to make a decision soon since my doctor thinks this should be done before another month goes by. Thanks.
|To: Henry Rice
From: Annabelle Pope
Subject: Re: Surgery
Hi Henry,
I am Sony you need surgery, but I am sure you will feel it is worth it. I had my procedure done at upstate Hospital, and I would recommend that place to any-one. The procedure I had was similar to yours, except it was my hip, not my knee. My surgeon was excellent, and I received good care from all the staff. The mission of the hospital is to provide the highest level of care possible, and the entire staff works hard to fulfill that mission. I was originally told that I would need to be in the hospital for a week, but when it became clear that I wouldn't be recovered enough by that time, the doctor didn't hesitate to keep me there for an extra three days. They wouldn't permit me to go home until they were sure I was ready.

Browse 9 facilities offering Wrinkle Treatment procedures in Malaysia - the cheapest price available is $157, that's 78% less than the best price in United States, at $700.
Ultherapy is a non-surgical alternative to facelift surgery. Currently, it is the only least invasive method approved by the FDA to tighten your loose skin. In this method, a focused ultrasound beam is used to boost collagen production in the deeper layers of your skin. Collagen is a natural protein that has different types. It gives firmness and tightness to your skin. As we grow old, this protein loses its strength and firmness and show laxity. This procedure gives its strength back.
Facelift leaves scars and has other associated risks such as nerve damage, clot formation, etc. However, its results are more obvious. Ultherapy requires plenty of time to make its effects visible. Also, more sessions are needed to maintain its effects. It strengthens loose skin of your face and neck and nullifies the effects of aging on your face. It has an advantage that there is no downtime for it. You can apply makeup immediately after the procedure. This procedure needs to be repeated every 6 months or a year.
Ultherapy tightens and strengthens your loose skin without giving incisions and stitches. Instead, a focused ultrasound beam is used to lift your skin. Before going through the therapy, you have lower eyebrow line, droopy lower eyelid, flat saggy cheeks and loose skin of the neck. After Ultherapy, your skin looks glowing and rejuvenated, cheeks look healthy and plumped and eyelids look lifted.
The procedure begins with cleaning your skin with an alcohol swab to kill any germs present at the spot. A specialized gel is applied to your skin. The focused ultrasound beam is used to produce thermal effects in the deeper layers of skin. The device is pressed firmly on to the skin of areas that needs strengthening. This induces new collagen production in these layers and gives firmness to the previous one. Ultrasound rays are applied over the areas including face and neck, where skin tightening is intended. The time of procedure varies with the areas which are to be treated. It produces thermal effects which can be the cause of discomfort during the process. It lasts for a small period of time when the energy is being delivered into skin layers. This slight discomfort is a sign that the collagen-boosting process has been started.
This procedure takes 1 to 1.5 hours or more depending upon the dimensions of the area which is being treated. It is an outpatient procedure. You can leave for home on the same day after the treatment. However, you should plan to stay in Malaysia for at least 10 days after your Procedure, this will allow for the initial recovery and follow-up check-ups and etc. Slight swelling and discomfort are normal. However, if it aggravates, there might be something wrong. Your health conditions are monitored during this duration.
As there is no downtime, you need not take any day off from work. You can get back to work immediately after the therapy. Minimal bruising is reported at the sites of Ultherapy where bones are present. This discomfort is for a small period of time. There might be tenderness and swelling in your skin which can last for one month after the procedure. 3 to 6 months are required for the results to become evident. A person continues to age, no process or treatment can stop aging. Therefore, the effects of Ultherapy subsides after a few years. Maintenance is needed. Touch up treatments help to maintain its effects.
After going through Ultherapy, take care of the following points to look after you:
This therapy is almost always successful. Results vary and their time of appearance varies. Some people show more positive results while others show a moderate difference in their physical appearance. But it works on all. According to a study, 95% satisfaction is reported by the patients after one year of the therapy. 65% of the patients reported improvement in their skin quality after 2 to 8 months. While 67% seemed very satisfied with the results after 3 months only. Its success depends upon your genes and other factors too.
The following are some alternatives to Ultherapy:
All the techniques mentioned above are minimally invasive with almost no downtime, pain and incisions.
Overall, you look younger than your actual age. But its effects last for only 12 to 15 months after which you will need more sessions

We take a closer look at the horses moving in the markets across the UK and Ireland today.
First up, in the 12:15 at Sandown, it's HONORABLE. Starting out at 8/1, he's now as short as 4/1, with a best price of 11/2. Showed good form in four French Flat starts last season, winning over an extended 1m6f, punters fancy him to go well for Gary Moore over 2m today.
Next, in the 13:45 at Lingfield, we have DUTCH UNCLE. Originally priced at 7/1, the odds have shortened to 4/1 in places, with a best price of 5/1. Steps back into a handicap having easily won a C&D seller eight days ago.
Finally, in the 14:00 at Newcastle, it's PERSEID. Steaming in from 14/1 as far as 5/1, the best price available is 7/1. Finished seventh last time out but didn't run badly considering, without a win since 2016 but plenty of backing today.

Hi everyone,
Just a short update you on recent events and a quick look ahead to the next few weeks. With the challenges we are all facing, it has never been so important that we continue to engage and interact with customers.
Customer confidence returning
The last number of weeks have seen another small rise in customer numbers to just over 170,000 per day. While this is well below the pre-pandemic figure of 450,000 per day, it does show that customer confidence is returning following the increase in capacity on board from 25% to 50% of normal levels in June.
I would like to pay tribute to our frontline employees - operations, engineering, customer comment teams - who have played a leading role in ensuring our services our safe and reliable, and provide a good customer experience for people using Dublin Bus. This has been vital to retaining and restoring customer confidence.
The return of more and more people to public transport means face coverings are more important than ever. They are now legally mandatory when using public transport and to reinforce this all bus scrolls now display a message reminding customers to wear a face coverings. We all have a role to play in protecting each other, so I would ask all customers to please wear face coverings when using public transport.
Building back better and looking to the future
While we are obviously focused on the day-to-day, Dublin Bus is also busy planning for the next few months and years. The pandemic provides us with an opportunity to build back better and it's an opportunity I'm determined Dublin Bus will seize. The bus unlocks so many opportunities for people. It is essentially a freedom pass for the city allowing you work, shop, socialise and relax. This freedom, albeit with responsibility, will be vital as week seek to not only rebuild the economy but also renew our society through coming together after so many months apart.
BeLonG To campaign
Strong public services are the back bone of a good society. This is why it is important that an essential service like Dublin Bus is representative and speaks to the values of the people and communities we serve. As you all know we have just finished pride month. This has been a very different Pride with none of the normal colour or celebrations of previous years.
The city has really suffered without the atmosphere and colour that it brings so that's why I was delighted to see the roll out of an eye-catching advertising campaign across 100 buses. They've definitely added a splash of colour to the streets of the capital while also highlighting the vitally important work of BeLonG To. BeLonG To Youth Services is the national organisation supporting LGBTI+ young people in Ireland. Working with young people, BeLonG To creates a world where they are equal, safe, and valued in the diversity of their identities and experiences
Thanks for reading and I will keep you informed of any other updates. Stay safe, healthy and well.

The court approved deforestation for the construction of the Tesla plant near BerlinFebruary 22, 2020
The German court reviewed its views and allowed to cut down the forest for the construction of a new enterprise of the American brand.
A few days ago in C, that European environmentalists reported that environmentalists had turned to a German court to suspend deforestation for the construction of Tesla's new Gigafactory plant near Berlin.
However, today the denial of the lawsuit of the Brandenburg Green League and the Association for Landscape Management and Species Protection in Bavaria was published on the website of the Berlin-Brandenburg High Administrative Court. Thus, the court allowed to cut down the forest for the construction of a new enterprise, since there are all legal grounds for the construction.
Note, environmentalists reported that the new plant will pollute water bodies and harm local nature.

I have a little question to pose. Tomorrow is exam day (which is why this post will be shorter than usual) and after exams we will need to rank which of the three directed research projects we want (wildlife ecology first, environmental policy second, wildlife management third, this is just an example). The three directed research projects are:
Wildlife Ecology: Do a quality assessment of critical wetlands in the Group Ranches and examine human encroachment and use.
Wildlife Management: Examine how wildlife disperse and use the Group Ranches.
Environmental Policies: Examine how land tenure affects wildlife conservation.
I know I want wildlife ecology or wildlife management, but the question is which one should I put first? I know how the research will be conducted (WE through vegetation transects, water sampling, human buildings/water use assessment; WM through transects and observations of large wildlife [probably in a car, because we can't really be in the sanctuary on foot technically I think but I might be wrong]) and I enjoy both of them, and I like both of the professors and the research topics. So I don't know what I'll choose, but I'm feeling lucky, so I'll probably get it.
Talking about research, I have had a few problems with the way it is conducted here. Not with the staff or professors, they are great. The research procedures are awesome, as are the issues they are investigated. The issue I have had is with other students. We did a transect through Acacia tortilis sparse woodland/scrubland to assess damage to vegetation by humans and damage by elephants. The group I had was on a transect that went through some of the denser portions of the rangeland (though dense in a rangeland is not really that dense at all), so we had a lot more shrubs and trees to examine and assess. The other members of my group wanted to rush through it, so they started pushing to cut corners which, while they might not compromise the data they might as well, and one of them even said, "We can make that up. It's not graded." It really shocked me. We came here to learn how to do research, and how can you do it correctly if you refuse to learn it correctly? Also, the study we did in Tanzania on bird density and abundance in habitats in the Serengeti is going to be submitted by Kioko (our wildlife ecology teacher there) to a paper. Did their groups cut corners in that one? These studies that they have us practice on our meant to not only teach us but to also be useful. It really surprised me that these students, of all people, would be so quick to, while not falsify (except maybe, if the person was serious), potentially compromise data. There was also talk in the car afterwards, complaining that we had to write it up, and someone else said that they didn't come to Africa to write papers. They, and I, came to Tanzania and Kenya to participate in this academic program. Academics include communicating the information you find through papers. If they wanted a non-academic study abroad they could have chosen it. We were told it would be academically rigorous before we came here. It just annoys me how quick we are to forget why we came here (to learn how to conduct field research and possible solutions to current issues facing wildlife) and the importance to maintain integrity in research. Just recently an eminent psychologist, Diederik Stapel, has been cited for falsifying data on many of his studies, and we all know about the autism and vaccine link study. How can we trust any research if some scientists are willing to make up data so that it looks like that their studies make a difference, when they don't.
All I can say is that I hope the other members, whoever they are, of my directed research group will take it as seriously as I will.

Both major indices — Sensex and Nifty50 — ended flat. Globally, investors reacted with caution after the incumbent British government lost the Brexit vote triggering a no-confidence motion. However, positive macro-trade data kept the benchmark Sensex and Nifty in the green for most part of the day's session. Consequently, the NSE Nifty50 gained a meagre 3.50 points or 0.03 per cent to settle at 10,890.30. The BSE Sensex closed higher 2.96 points or 0.01 per cent at 36,321.29, from the previous close of 36,318.33 points. It opened at 36,370.74 points and touched an intra-day high of 36,462.03 and a low of 36,278.61 points. The trade deficit in December narrowed due to fall in imports — $41.01 billion or 2.44 per cent down from $42.03 billion in the same month in 2017. Interest-sensitive banking stocks led the gains on both BSE and NSE as investors expect the central bank to cut policy rates in the Monitory Policy Committee (MPC) meet scheduled for February 7. Recent data has indicated a cooling inflation providing room for the RBI to go for the rate cut, analysts said. Nifty PSU Bank index gained 0.60 per cent, the most among the 11 sectors on the NSE. Banking stocks on the BSE also edged higher, gaining 0.68 per cent. Globally, markets traded on a mixed note amid political tension in the UK as Prime Minister Teresa May lost the Brexit vote in Parliament by a historic 230 margin — 432 voted against and 202 for, triggering a no-confidence motion against the government.

Required fields are marked *Comment Name * Email * Website Business Qualcomm to invest Rs 730 cr in Jio Platforms RIL said recently that the funds raised by selling stakes in Jio Platforms, along with a Rs 53,124-crore rights issue, have made it net debt-free much before its stated March 2021 deadline. Published 30 mins ago on July 12, 2020 By IANS New Delhi, July 12 : The investment spree into Reliance Industries' Jio Platforms continues, with technology major Qualcomm coming in with Rs 730 crore to pick up 0.15 per cent stake. This is the 12th investor to pick up a stake in Reliance Industries Ltd' (RIL NSE 2.95 %'s) telecom and digital business in less than two months. Qualcomm Ventures' stake buy will take the total investments in Jio Platforms to Rs 1,18,318.45 crore for a combined 25.24 % holding. The investment, which is subject to regulatory and other approvals, pegs Jio Platforms' equity value at Rs 4.91 lakh crore and enterprise value at Rs 5.16 lakh crore, Reliance said in the joint statement. Jio Platforms houses RIL's telecom business under Reliance Jio Infocomm, the largest in the country with nearly 400 million subscribers, besides other digital properties and investments. " Qualcomm has been a valued partner for several years and we have a shared vision of connecting everything by building a robust and secure wireless and digital network and extending the benefits of digital connectivity to everyone in India," said Mukesh Ambani, chairman and managing director for Reliance Industries. "As a world leader in wireless technologies, Qualcomm offers deep technology knowhow and insights that will help us deliver on our 5G vision and the digital transformation of India for both people and enterprises." he added. Qualcomm's investments come at a time when RIL is pivoting itself as a consumer technology company, away from being just an energy conglomerate. RIL's Jio is also betting big on 5G for propelling the next set of services . In fact, RIL has stressed that Reliance Jio is more of a technology company than just a telecom firm, underlined by the fact that the 11 investors who have picked up stake mainly focus on the global technology space. ""With our shared goal of extending the benefits of digital connectivity to everyone and everything, we anticipate Jio Platforms will deliver a new set of services and experiences to Indian consumers," said Steve Mollenkopf, CEO of Qualcomm Incorporated. Prior to Qualcomm ventures, Intel Capital , social media firm Facebook, Abu Dhabi's two largest sovereign investment arms – Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Mubadala, private equity firms Silver Lake (which invested in two tranches), Vista Equity Partners, General Atlantic, KKR, TPG, L Catterton and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), have invested in Jio Platforms. Amongst the earlier investments, Jio Platforms has received all the approvals for its stake sales to L Catterton, Public Investment Firm (PIF) , Silver Lake and General Atlantic Singapore, and has got a total of Rs 30,062.43 crore against a 6.13,% stake. On July 9, Jio Platforms received the investment amount from Facebook for Rs43,574 crore against a 9.99% stake – highest among the investments. The Competition Commission of India (CCI) approved Facebook's purchase of the deal marking the culmination of a deal which saw possibly the largest FDI investment in India's tech landscape. RIL said recently that the funds raised by selling stakes in Jio Platforms, along with a Rs 53,124-crore rights issue, have made it net debt-free much before its stated March 2021 deadline. Morgan Stanley acted as financial advisor to Reliance Industries and AZB & Partners and Davis Polk & Wardwell acted as legal counsels. Trilegal acted as legal counsel for Qualcomm Ventures. Continue Reading Business V-shaped recovery unlikely for Indian economy: Survey The package focussed broadly on saving lives and on undertaking deep structural reforms, the report said. Published 60 mins ago on July 12, 2020 By IANS New Delhi, July 12 : India is unlikely to witness a sharp turnaround in its economic growth amid the pandemic as there has been limited fiscal support from the government so far, according to a survey of economists by FICCI. FICCI"s recent Economic Outlook Survey has shown that economists feel majority of the steps taken by the Centre and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) address only the supply side constraints, while there have been no major moves to boost demand, which is the need of the hour. The current round of the survey was conducted in the month of June 2020 and drew responses from leading economists representing industry, banking, and the financial services sector. "Economists also stressed that India was unlikely to witness a sharp turnaround in economic growth given the limited fiscal support extended till now," said the FICCI report. The opinion of economists gain significance as many people including from the government and industry have time and again raised hope that India will see a "V-shaped" recovery. The survey predicts a 4.5 per cent contraction in India's GDP in the ongoing financial year. The survey showed that participating economists were of the view that government measures in the stimulus 2.0, which is popularly called the "Aatmanirbhar Bharat" economic package would take a long time for on-ground implementation and tangible results to be witnessed. The package focussed broadly on saving lives and on undertaking deep structural reforms, the report said. "They strongly felt that the package could provide more measures to boost demand conditions in the economy as reviving demand should currently hold greater importance. Therefore, a need for undertaking direct income transfers to the most vulnerable section of the population and unemployed poor was felt by a majority of the participants," it said. Economists were of the view that apart from pure cash transfers, the government could also consider GST reductions especially in the non essential goods segment which has the potential to drive demand. Furthermore, some sort of tax waivers could also be undertaken for low income groups. Alongside, sector specific measures could also support recovery in a big way, the FICCI report said. Sectors with high backward and forward linkages such as automobile, construction among others could be revived without incurring much fiscal strain, it said among other suggestions.

Published 5 hours ago on July 12, 2020 By WeForNews Desk New Delhi, July 12 : Around 77 per cent business organisations have witnessed a drop in their revenue as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, according to a recent global survey. As per a joint survey by 720 Transform of Dubai, Prophecy FZLLC-Middle East and India-based Insights3D, around 7 per cent firms in India and the Middle East have registered an upward revenue growth, while about 16 per cent of the companies remained unaffected. Around 282 executives, including CEOs and MDs from across industry segments were interviewed for the survey. Out of the negatively impacted companies which recorded fall in revenue, 30 per cent companies logged an over 50 per cent drop while another 30 per cent firms recorded 30-50 per cent decline. The report said that around 30 per cent of the companies surveyed will need to undertake drastic measures such as higher levels of rationalisation, sale or merger. Commenting on the report, Raja Marur of Prophecy FZLLC said: "Our belief that a new normal is being envisaged has been validated by the survey. Further, the impact to organizations varies by scale and level of global integration of their supply chains." Most leaders foresee a new normal in terms of remote working and decentralization, coupled with process automations and an increased reliance on artificial intelligence and analytics, the survey showed. However, these changes are likely to pose challenges in governance structures as also in communication lines and objective performance management. Businesses see challenges with regards to demand, liquidity and availability of finance with MSMEs being the hardest hit amongst all, the survey found.

Feb 19, 2020 Newsdesk Latest News, Macau, Top of the deck
Casino operations at City of Dreams (CoD) Macau (pictured) and at the Studio City complex will reopen on Thursday, Melco Resorts and Entertainment Ltd confirmed to GGRAsia in a Wednesday message. The company however could not provide a date for when gaming operations at its Altira Macau casino hotel in Taipa would relaunch.
Melco Resorts' Mocha Clubs – a network of slots-only venues – are also to reopen on Thursday, the gaming operator told GGRAsia. The company did not clarify if all existing clubs would reopen on that day. The Mocha Clubs brand features a total of eight clubs in Macau, three of which are linked to casino properties.
The reopening of the firm's gaming venues at its Cotai-based City of Dreams Macau and Studio City properties follows a 15-day suspension of all casino business in the city as part of local containment efforts regarding the novel coronavirus Covid-19.
The closure period expires just before the stroke of midnight on Wednesday.
The Macau government had announced on Monday it would not seek an extension of the market-wide closures, but would give the option for the city's six licensees to ask to keep venues shuttered for up to a further 30 days.
As of Tuesday, five of Macau's six casino operators had confirmed to GGRAsia that they would adopt phased reopenings of their respective gaming venues, but the details provided were scarce. The companies said normal operations would resume as "guest demand" picks up.
The local regulator said on Tuesday that all reopenings would involve special arrangements regarding density of seating for customers at gaming tables and a minimum space being required between operational tables. Those measures were understood to relate to reducing the risk of human-to-human transmission of Covid-19. Taken together, they amounted to a scenario where each venue's operational gaming capacity would be more than halved until further notice.
Hotels at casino resorts were not included in the original shutdown order, but some casino operators had chosen to shutter some of their hotels for operational reasons, with occupancy levels said to have plummeted coinciding with the casino shutdowns and a temporary ban on exit visas for residents of mainland China to visit Macau. The hotel at Altira Macau has been temporarily closed since February 10 "until further notice in order to curb the spread of the new strain of coronavirus," according to the property's official website.
As of Wednesday lunchtime, City of Dreams Macau and Studio City still had notices posted on their respective websites offering to reschedule or offer a no-penalty refund on any booking for their hotels from now until February 29 inclusive.

Real Estate
Retail & Commercial Development
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic forced many retailers to close their doors to customers beginning in March 2020, just as the overall economy was pushed into unprecedented disarray. Because of these circumstances and questions surrounding the unusual situation where municipalities were ordering stores to close, Landlords and Tenants looked to the four corners of their leases to determine their rights and obligations. Certain key lease provisions, like force majeure clauses, insurance provisions and operating covenants, warranted careful scrutiny as the parties sought to clarify their contractual responsibilities in light of the impacted retail landscape.
While many of those issues have yet to be resolved and most businesses are not yet operating at full capacity, it is not too early to analyze key lease provisions for the (hopefully not too distant) future, when new deals start getting done in the context of an uncertain and unstable landscape. What follows is a brief discussion of five common lease provisions that may need to be revisited to account for COVID-19 issues, and to put Landlords in a better position to respond and react to the "new normal" that will exist until a vaccine is developed and widely distributed.
The most obvious provision in a lease that will require attention is the so called "force majeure" or "act of God" provision. This provision typically includes a list of specific force majeure events, usually defined as events or occurrences that the parties do not control. If there is a force majeure event, the party who is obligated to perform is excused from such performance. This "tolling" tends to be for the number of days such party is prevented from performing. Prior to COVID-19, it was relatively rare to find a force majeure provision that included pandemics, viral exposures and related outbreaks as events that would result in the obligations of the parties being tolled. However, on a going forward basis, such events should be included in force majeure provisions, and rightly so. A force majeure provision that references "government imposed restrictions" is likely broad enough to include "shelter-in-place" and "safer-in-place" type orders which require businesses to close, but it may be prudent to specifically reference such orders.
Landlords may want to require Tenants to provide notice that they are making a claim under the force majeure provision, and to try to cap the amount of time that such force majeure tolling is effective. If possible, Landlords will want to require that, under all circumstances, Tenants continue to be obligated to pay Rent (including triple net charges), even during a force majeure event like a pandemic. As Landlords are acutely aware, rent payments are a critical component of Tenant's bargain to lease and occupy space, and many Landlords rely on the Tenant's covenant to pay rent in order to cover debt payments to lenders and otherwise keep their projects running.
In addition, Landlords will want to make sure that any co-tenancy provisions in their leases contain carve-outs for tenants who are forced to close or operate at a reduced capacity due to such orders. Finally, since both parties may be affected by closures of governmental offices relating to permitting and other administrative issues that may occur during a pandemic, such closures should probably also be included in the definition of force majeure.
Landlords should make sure that the control of Common Area language found in most leases is broad enough for Landlords to respond and adapt to pandemics and similar emergencies, such as by installing items to improve health and safety conditions and making other (perhaps currently unforeseeable) changes to the Common Area to comply with recommendations or requirements of the CDC, WHO, or state or local authorities. As a result of physical distancing and store-capacity requirements, Tenants may need the right to use portions of the Common Area (like sidewalks) for customers to form lines outside the stores. A Landlord should not decline a request by a Tenant to use the Common Area for queuing. Nevertheless, a Landlord can condition such use upon Tenant fulfilling certain conditions, such as giving Landlord prior written notice of such intent and the expected duration, peak times, and specific area the Tenant wants to use. Additionally, Landlords may want to specifically require that the Tenant cleans up the area used for queuing on a daily basis.
In leases where a Landlord provides a Tenant with a cap on increases in Common Area Costs, such cap does not typically apply to "uncontrollable" costs. Following COVID-19, Landlords should consider expanding the list of "uncontrollable" costs. For example, costs associated with a pandemic and the related health or safety measures the Landlord takes (i.e., installation of hand sanitizing stations, upgrades to automatic doors, use of more personnel to administer cleaning and to make sure guests comply with social distancing requirements, etc.) should be deemed "uncontrollable" and not be subject to any cap.
In addition, if it turns out that the "base year" for setting the "floor" for Common Area Costs occurs during a year when the Common Areas are used less because of a pandemic or related outbreak, the Landlord should consider including a "gross up" concept to bring the "floor" up to a number that is more reflective of what Common Area Costs would have been but for the pandemic. Another alternative would be to modify the "cumulative" vs. "non-cumulative" nature of the cap for any period during which Common Area Costs are artificially low.
While some leases provide that any alterations made in the Premises are the Tenant's responsibility, others split the responsibility between the parties based on the nature of the alteration, whether it is required by law and whether it applies just to the Tenant's space or to retail spaces in general. In light of the general uncertainty following COVID-19, Landlords should make sure that their leases require Tenants to make (at the Tenants' expense) any and all alterations required by law, including those borne out of force majeure events. For example, from a Landlord's perspective, the cost of any barriers within the Premises required to force customers to "social distance" or to further separate customers from employees should be the responsibility of the Tenant. If such barriers are structural in nature, a Landlord will also want approval rights over the location of, and materials used for, such barriers.
Some leases provide specific lists of Rules and Regulations that a Tenant must follow, while others give Landlords the right to impose reasonable rules at any point during the Term. Either way, a Landlord may want to impose various rules to protect against the potential spread of COVID-19 and to comply with relevant governmental (i.e., CDC or WHO) requirements or recommendations. For example, Landlords may want the right to conduct temperature checks of all people who enter the Shopping Center, including Tenant's customers, employees and contractors. In addition, it may make sense for Landlords to have the express ability to limit the number of customers present at one time. Building off of these rules, Landlords may also want the specific ability to eject or remove people from the Shopping Center who refuse to comply with the Rules and Regulations or relevant government requirements. For instance, if a customer of a Tenant refuses to wear a mask in the Common Areas of the Shopping Center, the Landlord would have the right to remove that person from the project.
Other lease provisions, like those dealing with insurance requirements, are also important in light of COVID-19 and will be the topic of future Retail Perspectives articles. In the meantime, if you have any questions about implementing the changes referenced above to your lease form, or any other questions relating to retail leasing and operations in the COVID-19 era, please contact us.

In November 2009, the world was losing its head over climate change. The scientists and those who stood to gain financially from their outrageously corrupt data were waging a phony war against the ordinary people of the world.
Unknown to us, greedy, corrupt and incompetent climate scientists around the world were receiving billions of pounds from shady global leaders and even shadier global speculators to falsify the science behind the fake global warming lobby.
What happened next should have shocked the world. But instead, the world's media conspired to contain and kill the story dead. It worked. Nobody talks about the worlds greatest and most expensive scandal. In fact, it carries on, even more powerfully than ever before. The same scammers are still in control, pumping out the same fake data, taking billions in funding and infecting our children's minds through universities, schools and the media.
With gratitude to journalist Tony Thomas for his essay at Conservative Woman we cannot recommend his article more highly. We shall provide a taster of his essay, then you can click in the link provided to read on… The only question we ask, before you read his excellent piece, is, how on earth have we not done more to stop the new wave of anti-capitalists like Greta Thunberg and Extinction Rebellion from increasing the taxes on the average working taxpayers with the aim of destroying our economies and our way of life under the scam of a 'so-called' Climate Emergency?
IT'S the tenth anniversary this month of the 2009 Climategate email dump that exposed top climate scientists' chicanery and subversion of science – and did so in their own words and out of their own mouths, or keyboards. I'll list a few emails-of-infamy shortly, but first some background.
For the three years before Climategate, the climate crowd was ascendant with its pseudo-narrative of 'settled science'. Al Gore's error-riddled propaganda movie An Inconvenient Truth of 2006 had swept the Western world and its schoolkids. In 2007 Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change shared the Nobel Peace Prize. In late 2008 Barack Obama won the White House, proclaiming in his modest way: 'This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.'
The Climategate emails hit the blogosphere just a month before the Copenhagen summit was scheduled to lock Western countries into Kyoto Mark 2, a legally-binding commitment to renewables from 2012. Climategate destroyed warmists' moral high ground and reinforced the natural reluctance of most governments to up-end their economies with emission controls. The Copenhagen circus fell apart, resolving merely to 'take note' of the exhortations to action by Obama and like-minded leaders.
The mainstream media strove to ignore and bury the Climategate revelations. The climate establishment ran half a dozen inquiries with limited briefs and ludicrous lack of rigour, all of which purported to clear the climate scientists of wrong-doing. [1] But even today, ten years after, scientists faithful to their calling and disciplines can only shudder at what Climategate revealed. Those who subverted the scientific method were not fringe players but at the pinnacle. They were doing the archetypal studies 'proving' catastrophic human-caused catastrophic warming (CAGW) and shaping the content and messaging in the six-yearly reports of the IPCC……..

TIBCO Software Inc., a global leader in integration, API management, and analytics, today announced its plans to add Apache Pulsar as a fully supported component in TIBCO® Messaging. Continuing its commitment to open source technologies, this addition will ensure that users of the highly popular Apache pub-sub messaging system can now leverage TIBCO Messaging to create a single, fully integrated application integration infrastructure, giving developers the freedom to choose the right messaging tool for the job at hand.
With the addition of Apache Pulsar, TIBCO puts a stake in the ground as the only messaging vendor to offer a comprehensive, versatile, best-of-breed approach to open source and both commercial messaging and streaming solutions. Customers will now benefit from seamless connectivity from a data distribution solution that provides the broadest support of streaming and messaging infrastructure, allowing for flexible solutions for streaming, event processing, data analytics, and AI/ML.
"This is a major differentiator for TIBCO as it strengthens our position as a true partner in the open source community and raises the bar for competitors in the messaging and streaming space. Notably, our support of Apache Pulsar gives customers the freedom of choice when navigating the need for a solution to assist with the real-time processing of high volumes of data for the most demanding enterprise use cases," said Denny Page, chief engineer and senior vice president, TIBCO. "No other vendor in the market is able to deliver this breadth of offering, while still being cognizant of the importance that open architecture holds for a client."
Key benefits of Apache Pulsar include the following:
- Seamless Deployment – Apache Pulsar enables easy–to–deploy, lightweight compute logic using developer-friendly APIs, without needing to run a stream processing engine, through Pulsar's native support for streaming and event processing in a single package. This ensures horizontal scalability with low latency, allowing for flexible solutions for streaming.
- Native support for multi-tenant, geo-replication – Unlike other open source solutions, Apache Pulsar provides native support for geo-replication and multi-tenancy without requiring add-on components to manage.
- Cloud Native – Born in the cloud and with support for Kubernetes and bare-metal deployments, Apache Pulsar allows for flexibility in deployment options that span single, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.
TIBCO customers and partners now have the most comprehensive choices of messaging options in a single, seamlessly integrated platform. With TIBCO Messaging, users are free to choose from multiple messaging and streaming options, and can work with a single vendor that delivers all their messaging needs, including fully distributed, high-performance, peer-to-peer messaging; certified JMS messaging; and open source, broker-based messaging including Apache Kafka®, Apache Pulsar, and Eclipse Mosquitto™.
For full insights into how TIBCO Messaging is changing the face of application-to-application messaging as well as its updates on Apache Pulsar, join our on-demand webinar with Bill McLane, product evangelist, TIBCO, or visit the TIBCO Messaging web page.

LSU CS Professor Studies COVID-19 Disparities on Social Media
BATON ROUGE, La., July 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — During the COVID-19 pandemic, a plethora of information has gone out from various news sources about how the virus is being tracked, how it is spread, how many cases exist, and so forth. The problem is much of this vital information can be inaccurate, leaving people to ignore advice from public officials. For this reason, LSU Computer Science and Engineering Assistant Professor Kisung Lee and LSU Environmental Sciences Professor Nina Lam are evaluating how a population reacts to multiple sources of information, hoping to eliminate disparities in the messaging."Studying different COVID-19 responses to trustworthy information will contribute new perspectives and improve our fundamental understanding of the human aspects of information trustworthiness during a pandemic," Lee said.Lee, principal investigator on the project, and Lam recently received a $200,000 grant from the National Science Foundation for the project and will have University of Washington Center for Studies in Demography & Ecology Director Sara Curran and Cybersecurity Research Fellow Jessica Beyer work alongside them.Lee will collect and analyze Twitter and linked media data using artificial intelligence-based techniques; Lam will map the data into administrative regions and analyze the data geographically (state- and county-level comparisons); and Curran and Beyer will collect policy and media source trustworthiness data and analyze it with other contextual information, such as media framing. Data will be collected and analyzed in Louisiana and Washington.They will collect three waves of Twitter and associated data to compare sentiment and language use patterns among users and analyze how these characteristics evolve through the recognition of the emergency, the peak of the crisis, and the mitigation of the pandemic in the U.S. The tweets and entities will be classified for relevance (individual, organization, or bot) with derived age and location. The tweets will be associated with daily disease-specific rates and annual demographic and socio-economic information."Data about the surrounding information context, including reporting trends and framing of the crisis, sources of health information, and information-seeking behavior about COVID-19, will provide tools for assessing the validity and reliability of our inferences about the patterns of sentiment and language use," Lee said. "This project will provide insight for targeting effective public messaging by public health and government officials during a crisis and ultimately improve disaster resilience."Like us on Facebook (@lsuengineering) or follow us on Twitter and Instagram (@lsuengineering).Josh Duplechain

I wasn't tagged by anyone, but this looks really fun so I figured I would give it a go!
1. Greed – What is your most inexpensive book?
Hmmmm… Right now my most inexpensive book I bought lately is Sophie Kinsella – I've Got Your Number. I grabbed it off the clearance shelf at my local bookstore for a buck.
2. Wrath – What author do you have a love/hate relationship with?
Kresley Cole is who first pops in my mind. While a lot of people don't like Jack I love him and where some people don't like Death I love him. Cole has Evie in this love triangle and it is tearing me apart and I hope to get a conclusion with the next book. (If it were my choice she would choose Death) but I still love Cole at the same time I am referencing her Arcana Chronicles Poison Princess and Endless Knight
3. Gluttony – What book have you devoured over and over with no shame?
Any Sandra Brown book. I can read her older romances over and over . If we're talking YA I would say, Honestly I don't read many books over because I have such a large TBR, but I have read Twilight a few times. Great book hangover book
4. Sloth – What book have you neglected reading due to laziness?
Vampire Academy Series. There are so many and it is a big commitment I need to just marathon the series.
5. Pride – What book do you most talk about in order to sound like an intellectual reader?
Hahaha, Um Im going to switch this up a bit! and I am going to change it to Pride – What book do you have the most pride in on your shelf. The one you try to show off or recommend the most. Ummmm…. Poison Princess . I love the Arcana Chronicles series, Im proud of it and I try to get everyone to read it
6. Lust – What attributes do you find attractive in male or female characters?
Funny. smart. And a bit sarcastic. I like the guy who is a good guy and isn't scared of being the good guy! In females I look for good strong heroines. I don't want one who weakens and turns into mush for the guy. I like a girl with a little snarkiness but not overboard
7. Envy – What book would you most like to receive as a gift?
Well I just hinted to my husband I want "These Broken Stars" or Abbi Glines too Far series
I don't know who to tag or how to tag so Im gunna try and hope I get it right (this will be very random)
