Ninkasi Brewing of Eugene, Oregon acknowledged they have a new majority owner. Legacy Breweries, founded by a former hop company executive, announced their plan to buy two more craft brewers of the same size as Ninkasi. Its strategy is to purchase one in the Midwest and another in the East; these would be augmented by approximately a dozen smaller breweries. The assembled breweries would benefit from centralized purchasing and by sharing production equipment. The larger, Ninkasi sized, facilities could supplement the production of the smaller plants.

Construction growth in Europe is still ongoing but at a slower rate
By Anna Dukhno
The construction industry is expected to enjoy moderate growth over the next two years but there are signs that it may be starting to plateau, according to new research into trends in 19 European countries.
Commenting on the research by the organisation Euroconstruct, Davide Maiello, our Head of Market & Business Intelligence for Europe & CIS, said construction output was still growing but likely to lose momentum in coming years.
"In 2017 growth was 4.2% and last year 3.1%," he says. "Those days are over. Euroconstruct expects growth of 1.9% for 2019, slowing down to 1.5% next year and 1.4% in 2021. Meanwhile, growth in civil engineering will be radically higher than residential and non-residential segments."
An underlying driver for the slow-down is the deterioration of consumer confidence for the first time in 10 years. "This may be the alarm bell that we are reaching a plateau for the construction market," says Davide.
'We must maximise opportunities'
Construction confidence and consumer confidence have gone hand in hand since 2009, growing gradually monthly until the start of this year when confidence levels started to slip.
"Overall the message is clear, construction growth will continue at least until 2021 but at a slower rate than the previous two years," says Davide. "In the past we didn't need to change our cards to win, but in the next two years we will have to play our cards carefully to maximise opportunities."
Across the countries surveyed by Euroconstruct, the market for building new houses is expected to grow just below 0.5% per year over the next two years, with the important countries of France and Germany stagnating due to slowing demographic growth and increasing interest rates.
"However, this is balanced by countries that are growing their new residential markets such as Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Poland and the Czech Republic where house prices are rising strongly with a positive impact on this construction segment," says Davide.
Renovation expected to enjoy steady growth
Residential renovation, meanwhile, is expected to enjoy more solid growth until 2021 with a yearly average of 1.2% across the 19 countries surveyed with the exception of Germany which is experiencing a negative trend.
"Euroconstruct expects the markets for non-residential new build and non-residential renovation to develop in line with each another at 1.2% and 1.3% a year," says Davide. "We are seeing a positive push due to European funds and tougher emission and energy efficiency regulations that are easier to enforce in public buildings."
In terms of non-residential, markets in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, the Netherlands and Spain are growing quickly, while Germany, the UK, Sweden and Ireland have slipped into negative growth.
• The 19 countries surveyed by Euroconstruct represent 19% of the world's construction market. Construction as a percentage of global Gross Domestic Product has fallen from a high of over 14% in 2000 to around 10% annually from 2013 to 2019.

I am not normally an animal lover. I like animals, but I don't normally have emotional attachment to them. Today, however, something changed. We went to the Zoo in Tambov. Seeing in what condition the animals were there, kind of bugged me for the first time. Here are a few shots.

None of these focus on 'dress' per se.
Neither does the rest of the post, which includes problematic words like 'sensible standards' and 'normal'.
How about... you're clean, don't smell, and don't exhibit behaviour which will interrupt the peace and quiet of the lounge (no loud conversations, no listening to music or video without earphones).
Can we just not ban all expats from the lounge then?
Not all, just the ones that I dislike.

Trudeau announces two-way investment deal with India worth $1 billion
Updated: February 21, 2018 5:21 PM EDT
MUMBAI, India — Some of India's biggest companies say they will invest more than $250 million in Canada, in everything from pulp mills to pharmaceuticals and the IT sector.
Canadian companies, meanwhile, plan to invest $750 million in India.
The news came after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spent his third morning in India meeting six of the country's most influential business tycoons, making deals that he says will create more than 5,800 new jobs in Canada.
"This was really a win-win morning, a win-win day for all of us and I'm excited for the opportunities in the Canada-India friendship," Trudeau said during an armchair conversation with Chanda Kochhar, CEO of the Industrial Credit and Investment Corp. of India, in front of 550 Indian business people.
My thanks to the business leaders I met with today in Mumbai for their commitment to Canadian talent. Find out more… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…
Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) February 20, 2018
Trudeau initially said the entire $1 billion was money coming into Canada but his officials later corrected that it was a two-way trade number, with one-quarter coming from India into Canada, and the rest going the other way.
More than half the $750 million Canadian investment in India comes from Toronto's Brookfield Asset Management, which is spending $480 million to buy a 1.25 million-square foot office complex in Mumbai.
Another $200 million comes from Fairfax India Holdings Corp. of Canada, which acquired a 51 per cent stake in the Catholic Syrian Bank in Kerala, India.
The government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made a number of economic reforms in the last few years that have helped open the Indian economy to international investment opportunities. Kochhar said these "huge" structural reforms — including a new goods and services tax to simply the tax system, a bankruptcy court and more transparency — have had a big impact on making it easier to do business in India.
The investments from India include a new operation in Canada from telecom equipment manufacturer Valiant Communications, a Canadian manufacturing facility to produce natural health products by Clarion Pharmaceutical and an Ontario operation for Vision Controls, which works on automation.
As well, Jubilant Life Sciences will spend $100 million to expand its existing facility in Kirkland, Que., which manufactures medical devices.
Later this week, digital transformation company Tech Mahindra, will announce a new partnership with Canada's superclusters initiative.

Anand Mahindra, chairman of the Mahindra Group, said he had recently joined the Asia Business Leaders Advisory Council but he said he can't find anything to "advise" Trudeau about other than "do more of the same."
"I think the rest of the world is learning about leadership from you," Mahindra told Trudeau in a brief, public portion of their meeting Tuesday.
"So, please continue to do what you're doing. With good leadership, business follows and as you learn from my team we have big plans for Canada."

Kumar Birla, chairman of the Indian conglomerate Aditya Birla Group and, according to Forbes, the country's eighth-wealthiest person, told Trudeau he finds both the federal and provincial governments in Canada to be very friendly for business.
"We are very happy investors," he said at the start of his meeting with Trudeau. "I think just the ease of doing business, the business friendliness of the Canadian government across the country I think is something that is a true delight for an investor. Someone who's tasted that will always want to come back for more."
The Birla Group — which already owns pulp mills in Ontario and New Brunswick— has plans to expand in three areas in Canada, in fibre, carbon black and aluminum products.

The investment deals are the first tangible delivery from Trudeau's trip and come despite the fact Canada and India trade is not growing as quickly as some had hoped. In 2012, former Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Indian government set a goal to reach $15 billion in trade between the two countries by 2015.
In 2016, the latest year for which statistics are available, it was at $8.4 billion. While that was double what it was in 2010, it was far shy of the $15 billion goal.
Kasi Rao, chair of the Canada-India Business Council, which hosted the Trudeau armchair chat Tuesday, said the slow growth between Canada and India comes from a lethargy on Canada's part and a lack of knowledge of Canada within India.

Trudeau says his trade message is being heard in U.S.
However, he said Canadians seem increasingly aware of the rise of Asia and India's importance and the Canada brand in India is growing. Rao said to prove that one need only look at the fact more than 550 people signed up to attend the Tuesday discussion with Trudeau and Kochhar.
"That would have been a hard sell a few years ago," said Rao.
Trudeau is also trying to push some of his domestic political priorities in India, including women's empowerment and human rights. To that end he hosted a round table with women business leaders on Tuesday, saying he wanted hear about their experiences and challenges.

The Small, Often Imperceptible Reasons Some Neighborhoods Feel Safer Than Others
Something like trash on the street can rejigger our entire sense of a place.
Your perception of any city or neighborhood is largely determined by things you can't quantify, like the vague feeling that a place just seems friendly, or clean, or well-lit. So much of our experience of cities is subjective like this. But if officials could figure out how to measure otherwise emotional or intuitive perceptions of, say, safety, they might be able to better intervene to make neighborhoods actually feel safer (add more park benches, turn up the lights, wash off the graffiti?).
"I had always assumed that I liked some [places] more, but I hadn't really given much thought as to why," says Phil Salesses, one of the authors on a new PLOS ONE paper studying the question. "For me it was always a kind of overall gut instinct, an overall feeling. But once I started this project, and I started paying attention to details, I realized that something like trash on the street can flip a bit in my brain."
Salesses and collaborators Katja Schechtner and César A. Hidalgo built an online comparison tool using Google Street View images to identify these often unseen triggers of our perception of place. Have enough people compare paired images of streets in New York or Boston, for instance, for the scenes that look more "safe" or "upper-class," and eventually some patterns start to emerge.
"We found images with trash in it, and took the trash out, and we noticed a 30 percent increase in perception of safety," Salesses says. "It's surprising that something that easy had that large an effect."
This also means some fairly cost-effective government interventions – collecting trash – could have a significant impact on how safe people feel in a neighborhood. "It's like bringing a data source to something that's always been subjective," Salesses says.
We've previously written about a similar, non-academic project to use Street View images to measure "beautiful" streets. This PLOS ONE paper models how the tactic might more broadly be applied, producing the kind of data that cities could use to influence our subjective feelings about neighborhoods.
Salesses and colleagues used 4,136 geo-tagged images from four cities, Boston, New York, and the Austrian cities of Salzburg and Linz (the latter two cities were photographed by Salesses himself instead of by Google). Users were then asked which of the images looked safer, more upper-class, or more unique.
"The Collaborative Image of The City: Mapping the Inequality of Urban Perception" by P. Salesses et al. in PLOS ONE
Not surprisingly, places perceived as "safe" were also more likely to be perceived as "upper-class." These maps from New York show the results of the three questions based on where the images were drawn, with green areas having positive perceptions (higher Q scores) and red areas having lower perceptions:
The researchers also looked at homicide data in New York City and found that, while controlling for things like income and population, these perceptions of safety correlate strongly with incidence of violent crime (from the paper: "We note from the start that our intention is not to make a causal statement, but simply to use this correlation to validate the value of the information contained in our measures of urban perception").
Unlike earlier Street View comparison projects, these researchers also photo-shopped individual elements out of a scene, refining their ability to isolate the role of individual objects, street art or trees on how people feel about place. The same tool could clearly be used to measure responses to other questions: Does this street look like somewhere you'd want to live? Is it family-friendly? Would you go shopping here? And the results might turn up concrete factors like flower planters, bike racks, pedestrians or potholes.
"We came up with the hammer and we were looking for things to whack with it," Salesses says, referring to why the project focused on perceptions of safety.
Ideally, in the future, he envisions officials using a tool like this to do cost-benefit analyses of removing trash or planting new trees: Where should cities spend scarce resources to produce the greatest improvements in how people perceive a place?

William Billington (1875 - 1952) was een Britse beul.

Als zoon van de beul James Billington assisteerde William zijn vader voor het eerst in juli 1899. Na de dood van zijn vader in december 1901 werd William de hoofdbeul voor Engeland, waarbij hij op zijn beurt werd geholpen door zijn oudere broer Thomas en later door zijn jongere broer John. Ook Henry Pierrepoint heeft een tijd als zijn assistent gediend. Vanwege zijn jonge leeftijd werd hij zelf een bezienswaardigheid tijdens zijn executies. Hij voerde ook executies in Noord-Ierland en Schotland uit.

William kon de druk als beul niet meer aan en voerde zijn laatste executie uit op 25 april 1905. In totaal heeft hij 70 ophangingen uitgevoerd.

William was getrouwd en had twee kinderen.

»Uncategorized»I wanna talk about DATING….
So I have officially considered myself 'available' to date. For a while I just kept to myself and focused on me and my relationship with God. Almost scared to venture out because I didn't want to get distracted in my walk with God. (I know how satan works…he is devious and will do and use anything or anyone to side track you).
When I decided to make some changes in my life and be serious about my walk with God, I had no idea how my new life was going to fit into my old life. But I trusted God and followed him. One of the first things I HAD to do was stop some of my old habits, stop going to my old hangouts and hanging out with the same friends. Not because they were awful people or places where dangerous or harmful to me. I was making a genuine effort to change my lifestyle which meant that I didn't have much in common with my friends or the places anymore. It was a little awkward at first but when I allowed God to make the transition it went pretty smoothly. People are not gonna miss you as much as you think LOL believe me. Life will go on. Same party…different night. But one of the biggest things I did was take myself out of the worldly dating pool. I just removed myself. No, I'm not hangin' out tonight. No, I'm not up for company tonight. No, I'm not going out. On a few occasions I did say and explain that I changed my life, I'm in the church now. The responses to that statement is a whole 'nother blog post LOL. But I spent some much needed time with God. That real alone time that we don't get because our lives are so busy and full of people, places and things. We don't really sit in His presence and listen to Him. We may sit and talk to Him. But do we listen…then obey…then apply it to our lives. If we did, I think there would be more stories of our experiences with God, rather than our complaints and our mistakes.
So I spent a few years, almost 5 to be exact…working and building on my relationship with God. And during that time…he was also working and building on me. I was learning to love myself and be loved by God. I was learning to be a servant of Christ and how to help others. I was being pruned and transformed. One thing I do know…is that God has someone for me. That special someone is hand picked from God for me…so I need to be in the right place to be ready for him. No extra baggage, no trust issues, willing to be in a relationship, available to be loved and give it in return. I needed to learn about the love of God before I could be responsible for who gives me to love.
I'm facilitating a Dating Workshop and I talk about boundaries and self-control. And in learning and setting your boundaries, you are forced to look at yourself. Your worth, your values,what you will allow and what you won't, how responsibile you are and your respect for others. God has been showing me many things about myself and I've been very patient and open to the process. I'm in a much better place now because of Christ in my life and no way would I have been ready to handle the responsibility of a healthy God-led relationship 5 years ago. I would have messed it up. 1) Because I would have been trying to do it on my own, without God 2) and emotionally, mentally and spiritually I was not mature enough.
I plan to take you on my journey with me. Please comment and leave your suggestions. As I talk with other women…we are ALL on this same journey. I can't quite figure out when or why dating and relationships got to this place, where so many women are single. But I'm gonna look around and see what's going on.


I started at Caradco when I was eighteen years old. I didn't even have a Social Security number. I was born and raised in Lansing and right after high school I got a job with a church decorator, but I didn't like walking on those planks forty foot in the air, so I quit and migrated to Dubuque. I lived in a rooming house on South Locust Street. After three or four weeks I still didn't have a job and I was putting off paying the landlady because I didn't have any money. One day I went out to John Deere and they said they would hire me but they'd have to wait a week 'cause of my not having a Social Security number. So I hitchhiked back to Dubuque and I ran into some young guy who said, "Well, Caradco is hiring so why don't you go down there." I went down there and they sent me up to Central High School to get a work permit and I started the next day. I started at eighty-eight cents an hour, two cents more than John Deere was paying at the time.
I tell you one thing, I got married after I started working there and I had nine kids. I was renting and I wanted to buy a house. With all them kids it was like trying to pull a tooth with a marshmallow. I had five hundred dollars, but I needed another five hundred to make a thousand dollar down payment. Somebody suggested I go to the Dubuque Building and Loan Association. So one Saturday I got up enough gumption and I went in and seen this secretary and she said, "Well, have a seat and we'll let you talk to the president in a couple of minutes." So I sat there a few minutes and then they called me in and I talked to this guy and I gave him all the information—I had this wife and all these kids and I needed a house and I needed one thousand dollars but I only had five hundred and I would like to borrow five hundred dollars. He got to talking and asking me more questions and finally he said, "I'm going to have to deny you the loan." And I said, "Well, why is that?" And he said, "Well I'm president of Carr, Adams and Collier and we don't pay you enough money to buy a house." So I vacated that joint. Then on Monday when I went to work, one of the guys said, "Well why don't you go down and join the Credit Union. Do you have five dollars on you?" I said, "Yeah." He said, "It only costs five dollars to join. Give them the five dollars, join the Credit Union and tell them you need five hundred dollars for a down payment on a house. So I went down at noon and I joined the Credit Union. I worked on the third floor and the Credit Union was on the second floor. I went down and joined and I applied for a five hundred dollar loan and that night when I was leaving one of the guys from the Credit Union was standing in the stairway and said, "Hey, did you forget about your five hundred dollars?" So I got my five hundred dollars and went home and bought a house.
I had a lot of fun working at Caradco and I made friends there that I still call to this day. It didn't pay very well, though. That's one of the reasons I quit. I'd worked there twelve years and I was making $1.61 an hour. I went out to John Deere in 1960 and started for $2.61 and a half.

Las Vegas Shooting: Politicians React – Celebrity News

Former secretary of state Clinton, 69, posted a series of tweets calling on people to "stand up" to the National Rifle Association in wake of the shooting. "Las Vegas, we are grieving with you—the victims, those who lost loved ones, the responders, & all affected by this cold-blooded massacre," she wrote. "The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots. Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get. Our grief isn't enough. We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again."

Our grief isn't enough. We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again.
Former vice president Joe Biden echoed similar sentiments. "Appalled by the senseless loss of life in Las Vegas. Jill and I hold all those affected and grieving in our hearts," he tweeted. "How long do we let gun violence tear families apart? Enough. Congress & the WH should act now to save lives. There's no excuse for inaction."

TB Joshua says the President who is about to die is not from West Africa
1 April 2012 17:32
Nigerian preacher TB Joshua of the Synagogue church says the death of an old African president is now very close.
Repeating his earlier prophecy that an old African president will die soon, Joshua hinted that the president will not be from West Africa.
He was speaking at his church in Nigeria on Sunday, April 1, 2012.
He said it was getting close and that it would be due to sickness. He did not name the person or the country or give an exact time-frame.
'What I was saying is very close now, you want to hear more, and it's very, very close now. Whether you like it or not, this is what I've seen. Pray for a leader; well, God showed me everything but I'm praying to see if this thing can be changed.
'Pray for your leader, the head of a nation. I'm seeing a sudden death; this is as a result of sickness.
Quote me, but the Lord showed me the country and the person but I'm not here to mention anything but when it is very close I will mention but right now it's a bit close.
'Every time you pray, pray for Africa, so pray; this is not even in West Africa but I will not say anything more than that."

143 Part 1
Chapter 143: Calm before the Storm (4)
(He longed to reach the level that was higher than our entire race combined. He envied our flesh, and ultimately, he had ascertained it. He had even declared himself a golden dragon. From there on, everything is as you know it. And the relationship has soured with no way of turning back.)
The war between Fran Page and the dragon race. Reseese Rajendu reminisced about the memories from that time. It was a very painful memory to recall.
(Fran Page, who has ascertained the dragon's body, half of the race was sacrificed while fighting that imperfect being. As he was invincible in that form and couldn't be killed, a decision was made to seal him as the next best option.)
The war in which half of the dragon race had been sacrificed. Although it wasn't recorded in human history, it was certain that that war was of the greatest scale, and the fiercest one of all the wars in history.
"The invincibility that you are referring to…" Ian who has been listening in silence. He brought up a topic to talk about. "…What exactly is it?"
The power of the entire dragon race was certainly not weak. That was, it would be stronger than even Ian's own power, rather than weaker. It was the invincibility which even those beings couldn't defeat? It was hard to imagine.
(He took his original form in the end- after he was burned, sliced, and even completely annihilated. Of course, he even came back in perfect shape as well. It appeared as if he had transcended beyond the realm of humanity, perhaps, even from the realm of life.)
Ian's eyes narrowed upon hearing that response. It seemed like a very familiar way for some reason.
'It's the same as the masters.'
The eight masters that Fran Page had left. Six of which have fallen into Ian's hands. It was the same eternal youth and immortality. To borrow the masters' expression, it would be the 'blessing of eternal life'. It seemed like the blessing that was also a curse.
"Do you, by any chance, have any ideas on that power of immortality? Maybe a way to destroy it, or the source of it. Anything that you may know."
(Should I have known such things, sealing would not have been chosen as the alternative.)
Reseese Rajendu replied lingeringly. Had he known of a way, it would have been tried a long time ago.
(However.)
He didn't stop speaking even after that. He seemed to have a response to Ian's question.
(What is certain is that the capability of his being was not confined to magic. He truly stood out in many different areas. Especially in alchemy, he has left great marks in the field of alchemy. He would normally say that the link between sorcery and alchemy could never be separated.)
Ian was also very familiar with the expression with respect to the unbreakable link between the sorcery and alchemy. This saying was still applicable in the present world. Of course, the sorcerers were seen as having a higher class, and they, themselves, wanted to be treated in that way as well, it appeared to be an unshakable truth that survived through many thousands of years.
(Based on my race and my estimation, we think that the power of that invincibility did not simply come about from the power of the language, or the power of techniques. It's like with the Repository of Time, the fact that you met my spiritual being implies that you have been to the Repository of Time, correct?)
"The Repository of Time, that's right."
(The secret elixir that allows passage to that space was also Fran Page's creation. It was as if he had extracted the power of the dimensionless space, which was in the gargoyle's eyes, through alchemy. Likewise, I had also thought that the power of invincibility was a product, resulting from the combination of many fields. Of course, I can't be sure of it, and even if it was true, I wouldn't know his weaknesses.)
Like having created the dimensionless space using the gargoyles' eyes, could the power of invincibility, too, have been made by something other than magic? That was the thought of Reseese Rajendu, the leader of the dragon race.
'Hm.., alchemy…..'
Come to think of it, Fran had eight masters. Two of them have never returned. Could one of them have been an alchemist?
'I need to ask the masters about it.'
The weakness of Fran Page. It would definitely be helpful if it could be learned. Having engraved it deep in his thought, Ian continued to ask.
"May I ask another question?"
(Speak.)
"The seal, how long do you intend to maintain it?"
(I intend to maintain it forever, or as long as the time permits.)
"Are there any unstable factors that could cause the seal to break?"
(Should the gargoyles become extinct, it could become unstable. That is because that seal is being maintained solely based on the power of the dimensionless space which exclusively exists in the gargoyles' eyes.)
At that moment, Ian felt a sudden tingling sensation. He suddenly remembered what he had done just before entering this space. 'Diamond Dust', the 9th class level magic. Did he not apply that spell in annihilating all the gargoyles in the vicinity of the mountain range? Of course, a few would be found alive, here and there, if one was to search really hard.
(What's wrong? You don't look too well.)
"Hmm, I feel like I might have killed too many."
(Killed? What? You mean the gargoyles?)
"Since they kept standing in my way….."
Ian's tone of voice has been firm up to this point. However, that tone has begun to quiet down.
(That's fine. Isn't the king of the gargoyles still alive? With his capacity to reproduce, there is nothing to worry about.)
"…..That's a relief"
Ian cleared his chest. It was truly a relief for Ian.
"Are you in a perfect position to defend against Fran's spiritual beings?"
(The spiritual beings are the mediums of this space, that is, they cannot encroach, even a single step, into the mountain range that the gargoyles and their king reside. As soon as they enter, they would be annihilated instantly due to the trap set by the power of the language.)
"Wouldn't it be possible that he might have found a way to destroy the trap?"
(There is always a variable in everything.)
"So, you mean, it is still worrisome."
Ian drew a short conclusion. He spoke as he unfolded his arms that had been crossed.
"….What if. What if Fran Page was to lose his invincibility, or was to become annihilated, so you no longer have to maintain the seal. What would you do from then on?"
When all oppressions and duties disappeared with the dragons returning to the world… That life was the most important thing than anything.
(I would want to rest first.)
"And after resting?"


The quality of your life is largely determined by the quality of the decisions you make.
This post is part of a larger series in which we learn about rationality and decision making from some of the world's best decision makers and cognitive behavior experts. I break down their concepts and bring you practical, ready-to-use-tools you can apply in your everyday life for better decisions, more confidence, and less bias.
Ray Dalio was an up-and-coming hedge fund manager. The small fund he'd started in 1975 in his bedroom was posting decent returns for his clients and was steadily gaining more attention and business.
In 1982, Ray Dalio went broke.
He predicted a big recession and positioned his hedge fund accordingly.
But the Federal Reserve Bank massively lowered interest rates which sent markets soaring.
Ray Dalio was dead wrong and lost his clients and himself a lot of money. So much he had to let go of his staff and borrow $4,000 from his dad to make ends meet.
So what led him to say this in an interview 35 years later?
This seemingly little shift in mindset had large consequences. He started developing and writing down principles and practices for understanding reality, uncovering blind spots and making better decisions. He constantly analyzed his decisions, learned from mistakes and steadily improved and refined his principles.
Today his fund BridgeWater is the largest hedge fund in the world, with over $100B of assets under management.
Ray Dalio attributes much of his success to the principles he's developed and recently shared those in a book called Principles.
In that book, the prolific investor describes the 5-Step algorithm he has used to get what he wants.
Of course, I recommend that you read the book yourself.
But here is a Flavio colored sneak peek on the algorithm that hopefully may make you want more.
I have done the following to make it as applicable as possible.
Grouped sub-points into major themes so that they are easier to apply and remember.
Left out points that may be critical but I didn't find as applicable.
Expanded on a few key points that made them more understandable for me.
Where applicable, I created checklist questions that will make it easier for you to apply this to your own life.
If you're serious about applying the 5-step algorithm into your life, I recommend that you take notes and come up with your own checklist questions around each point.
Let's look at the five steps with an example to see how to implement this in practice.
Example: I want a political organization that I believe will help fight climate change to raise a lot of money so they can win seats in the next elections.
Prioritize. While you can have virtually anything in life that you want, you can't have everything you want.
Do I have the appropriate amount of goals given my time and responsibilities that I'm not willing to negotiate? Which goals are the most important to me and which need to be cut out?
If I'm also trying to set up a successful business at the same time, raise a child and write a novel, I'll likely not get very far in any of those areas. Seems like good advice, so let's prioritize on raising money.
I've noticed how my brain is a natural problem-solving machine. So is yours. It doesn't care if you give it a big problem or a small problem, it will start thinking about how to solve it. So you might as well be ambitious in your goal setting.
Checklist Question: Is the goal I'm pursuing big enough? Can I make it 10x bigger?
If I ask myself: "How do I raise $100,000 in the next three months", I'll come up with a certain kind of action plan.
But if I ask myself: "How do I raise $1,000,000 in the next three months?", my brain will start thinking about a different strategy altogether. It could mean that I should think about different donors, a different pitch, involving more people to help me get there and so forth.
If you have a goal of losing weight, you can't succumb to the desire to eat extra ice-cream every day.
Getting this right is critical. If you set a big goal that makes it hard to have fun on the way and get hits of dopamine for little successes (like publishing articles, closing deals, watching users use your product), you likely won't stay on track for very long.
Checklist question: Are there enough day-to-day activities where I will either enjoy the work so much I'll be 'in the zone'? Are there stepping stones along the way where I will get feeling of success that will keep me going through the inevitable hard and boring times?
I actually enjoy meeting people, finding out what their goals are, and if what I'm selling is helpful to that end, convince them to purchase my services (more of a short-term desire, dopamine spike than a long-term goal). So, in this case, (some of) my desires are supporting my goals for my fundraising plan.
Admit painful problems and view them as opportunities to grow.
Acknowledging weaknesses is not the same as surrendering to them.
Ray advises us to look at the pain signal as a sign of potential improvements that are screaming at us.
Checklist Question: What about am I lying to myself? What is the painful truth that needs to be acknowledged?
The "painful" truths in my example case are that we have virtually no existing fundraising efforts, no database with donors and no track record and that I have limited time and don't really know what the heck I'm doing.
Here Dalio specifically admonishes us to differentiate between problems arising from a lack of skill and problems arising from innate weaknesses.
Checklist Question: To solve this problem, do I lack the know-how or do I have an innate weakness in this area?
In my case, while I've spent some amount of time selling products and projects and have some track record in that area, I've never fundraised for a political organization before. I enjoy meeting people and I don't see myself having trouble asking for money (I've done so many times in sales before). So this is a case of a lack of skill and not an innate weakness.
This part is probably the one most people trip up. Either by neglecting to this in the first place or by jumping from an identified problem to a solution in a nanosecond.
Make sure you've spoken with all the relevant people (to uncover blind spots) and have stepped back from the situation enough to properly get all the evidence together.
Checklist Questions: Have I spoken with the relevant people to assess the situation? Do I have all the relevant facts? Where am I biased?
In my situation, I've spoken with a few people about what our current fundraising status is, but there is still quite a few things I want to learn from other believable people about the best practices in fundraising before going into action mode.
Big point here. Finding the root cause of all of our problems should help solve the problem once and for all.
Is this a symptom or a cause?
Q1: Why is there no money in the bank?
Q2: Why are there no fundraising operations?
Q3: Why was there too little time and too little knowhow?
Q4: Why were the right people with the right time not in place?
Q5: Why didn't we know we'd need those people?
Sometimes this exercise gets a bit existential. Probably time to stop.
It's probably accurate to learn more about blind spots and mental models for virtually anyone (confirmation bias, anyone?). But the root cause at which we can solve this issue in a reasonable amount of time is by bringing in the right people now.
If the answer however was, we couldn't recruit the right people (even though we knew we needed them), then we'd need to look one level deeper and understand why these people didn't want to join our organization and solve problems at that level.
As he does throughout the book, here, Dalio calls us to be as honest as possible about our own mistakes and weaknesses and to point them out in others. This part is not for everyone, but I do see the benefit of knowing more about how you are really like. Doing this gives you the ability to plan around your weaknesses, for example by partnering with others who are strong in those areas.
Checklist Question: Is there a fundamental weakness within myself or within my colleagues that is part of the root cause?
In this case, maybe the previous leadership of the party didn't prioritize well enough. I'm not sure. That problem seems addressed for now.
Maybe a good place to use Lateral Thinking Techniques to generate more creative ideas.
Sketch out the plan broadly ("Hire those great people") and then go into specific tasks and timelines ("In the next two weeks, choose the headhunters who will find those great people").
Dalio says that by visualizing the entire movie into the future, things like costs, time and personnel will surface naturally until you have all the gears in the machine meshing smoothly.
I think he wants us to use our inner simulator (same function we intuitively use to predict where tennis ball will land, vs. calculating the position through Newtonian physics) to predict what we need to pay attention too.
I think he means to create a Gantt-Chart with all the tasks, deadlines and owners into one document.
Here is also where my most read medium post so far seems helpful to mention: Systems vs. Goals, where I talk about the importance of setting up systems you can execute every day to achieve goals.
Time to murphy-jitsu and refine the plan.
If you can't execute your plan, you won't go anywhere. So if you're ever losing sight of that connection, ask yourself "Why?". If you lose the 'why', you will lose sight of your goals too.
Probably a good time to review that Getting Things Done book you bought and haven't read yet.
Dalio says that it's ideal to have someone else measure and report on your success. If you aren't hitting your targets, that's another problem that needs to be diagnosed and solved.
There many successful, creative people who aren't good at execution. They succeed because they forge symbiotic relationships with highly reliable task-doers.
If you discover you aren't great at execution (seems as the data shows me I'm great in some parts of execution and bad in others), then it's time to find some more reliable folks who maybe aren't as creative, and you can go far together!
So that is it for the 5-step process. Now as always, I try to bring you the full picture as far as my know-how and mental biases allow me to.
One challenge I see with the 5-step process is the existence of potential unknown unknowns.
Steve Jobs would not have designed the Apple the way he did had he not taken that calligraphy class.
There are many more examples of innovations and insights, such as the discovery of penicillin and LSD-25, that came from activities that had nothing to do with the original problem statement.
It's crucial that you keep learning about things that don't seem to benefit you directly in achieving your goals. A self-reflective walk in the woods, a random book you read or conversation with a stranger in a coffee shop could lead to unlocking significant insights, either shifting your goal altogether or your fundamental approach to the problem.
You never know when you will connect the dots. The process seems to limit itself to things you either already know (known knowns) or know how to ask about through research and questioning others (known unknowns).
Intuition tells me 5-Step process works best for relatively well-defined goals in relatively short time frames that depend less on unknown-unknowns.
When you want to learn tennis, you also can't get there just by reading books about tennis. Much better to practice tennis regularly and learn how to move your feet and arms for optimal outcomes. The learning happens less explicitly but more on body/subconscious level. The acquired knowledge is called tacit knowledge.
So another challenge with the 5-step process is that you can't just take the 5-step process laid out here and start having massive results in a field you have little to no experience.
Because on top of applying the structured 5-steps, a lot of the value created by the approach lies in knowing how to actually apply the 5-steps in your context. The more you practice the 5-steps for the goals you have, the better you will get at the steps over time.
The biggest challenge I faced when I first learned about the algorithm, was to remember to use it day to day.
The root cause of that problem seems to be that I just hadn't spent enough time reviewing and learning the process.
What is the answer to this problem (based mostly on science)?
Overlearning: A 1992 meta-analysis suggested that overlearning does significantly affect recall over time.
Teach someone else one-to-one. Seems to work by retrieval, as a recent study found.
Create a system to use this once a day or once a week for a few months.
Those actions will force you to truly understand it and remember it on a much deeper level.
So what are your goals!??
What is most urgent in your life or career?
What do the people around you need?
Pick a goal and try it out right now using the worksheet!
If you've read so far, my goal is that you actually start implementing this stuff and my second goal is that you send me some claps, so that others can benefit as well!

Thank you, I do have Premium. Yes, I know this computer won't last forever, and I have a Windows 8 computer for backup. I just don't like Microsoft pushing the hard sell ... the rebel in me Many thanks!!
Windows 7 will not stop working, it just won't receive any more security updates from Microsoft. Malwarebytes will continue to work on Windows 7 as well, and will protect you from any know threats. If you are using the Premium paid for version it will go a long way into keeping you safe. Eventfully just like with Windows XP, you will have to upgrade.
Oh you know what ? Some points tend to confirm what you say, and some infer some doubt. On one side, Firefox could not access the authentication on the Airbox either with a new profile, or while using a portable installation, or by using it on a smartphone. On the other side, the payable program that is proposed on your site arises an alert at the level of the password input field, and the authentication is quite OK with Internet Explorer. So, do you mean that program arises a false alert, and Orange programmed an authentication page that seems not to be compatible with Firefox ? Except if there is something that is not detected by FRST and I have to analyse my smartphone too ?
When I logged onto my HP desktop work horse computer this morning - the one sporting Windows 7 and working like a champ thanks to your services - it reminded me that Microsoft will no longer support Windows 7 after January 2020. They say it has been 10 years ... that's enough. It's hard to predict what will happen in the next 8 months, but I plan to continue scanning and maintaining my computer like usual, and I'd like to continue using it into the foreseeable future. So my question ... will running Malwarebytes be sufficient to keep my machine safe from the predators out there?
Hi, Good, all should be well.
Hi, There are may entries in your logs referring to Baidu should we remove them all. Are you using the service? I can remove them all is you wish.
Large companies holding Personally Identifiable Information ( PII ) and their failure to protect that data and/or share that data without your expressed permission is a problem. Limiting your exposure to having a large number of web sites having PII is a start. For example if you have five doctors that each tell you to create an Internet, web, account, don't do it for any of them. Send companies you have subscription and leases with a Right of Privacy and Opt-Out notification. Tell them they are legally bound to protect your data and they are NOT allowed to share that data or collect meta data. However, if a stolen password is current and can be used at a banking or other financial site or a site that contains PII can lead to Identity Theft and can have greater and more profound consequences. You stated... " Also, once all that info is in the wrong hands, no amount of Password changing will make up for the SS #'s, mother maiden names, etc will get it off the internet. " With fixed data such as a SS#, yes. However sites that have challenge questions or ask your mother maiden name have them change the information or ask something new. This would go for any compromised challenge question answers.

PROBLEM with "Symantec Encryption Desktop Professional 10.4.2 MP2"
Thanks for the file. Testing shows that Symantec Desktop Encryption 10.4.2 MP2 registers an LSP/Winsock DLL which is causing MBAMService to crash. This is a known issue with Malwarebytes version 3.7 on Windows 10 due to the introduction of an Early Launch Anti-Malware (ELAM) driver. We're currently working on a fix for this issue. I'll provide an update once it's released. Support have informed me that you also have a help desk ticket, so you will get a response to that as well.
No. Basically it shows that that email address ( or addresses ) were associated with a data breach and that would indicate how this occurred...

PUP.Optional.MySearchDial - What is it?
Shouldn't Malwarebytes remove the infection?
Looking at the VBA code you posted, it doesn't look like there's any Mac-specific code, which is good. Also good is the fact that recent versions of Microsoft Word are sandboxed, meaning that the VBA code they contain should not be able to access files on the hard drive, as they would need to in order to install malware. There are some known sandbox escapes, but I don't see signs of that kind of thing either. I suspect this is targeting Windows specifically. I'll run it on a test machine later just to make absolutely sure, but I think it's likely that no harm was done. You should probably alert your friend to the problem. There are two possibilities for why you got the e-mail from him. One is that someone spoofed his address, without having access to his account. However, that seems unlikely, as this wouldn't allow that person to have knowledge of the connection between you and him. The other, and more likely, possibility is that his e-mail account has been hacked and used to send malware to all his contacts. Because of this, I'd tell him to change his e-mail account password ASAP. Then, he should also change the password on any online accounts using the same password, as well as any accounts using a different password but associated with that e-mail address. (Such accounts could have their passwords reset with access to the e-mail account.) If he's not using different password on every account, and keeping track of them with a password manager, he should start doing that.

Earlier this year, on Jan. 16, 2019 the World Health Organization issued a report ranking "vaccine hesitancy" as one of the top "Ten Threats to Global Health in 2019". This alongside air pollution and climate change; noncommunicable diseases; global influenza pandemic; antimicrobial resistance; and infectious diseases such as ebola, dengue fever and HIV. Far from being an accurate assessment of health threats, this statement was put out to cause hysteria, both from the pro and anti-vaxxers, no doubt.
So with vaccines once again dominating the news cycle, we decided it would be good to dive into the subject and counter the ridiculous propaganda the media is putting out about the ominous anti-vaxxer threat and establish an objective perspective on vaccines.
The Venezuela 'regime change' bandwagon rolls on, with the Western media doing its best to create the 'reality' where millions of Venezuelans are starving or fleeing the country, no one supports the Maduro government because he is a 'brutal dictator', and everyone loves the new US-appointed leader Juan Guaido. This is 'Iraqi WMDs' redux, it's Qaddafi 'bombing his own people' rehashed, Assad 'using chemical weapons against his own people', all revisited and retooled for Venezuela.
The first physical salvos in this latest chapter of the globalists' war on normal human beings were fired yesterday when US stooges set fire to 3 trucks carrying 'humanitarian aid' at the Colombia-Venezuela border crossing. For good measure, a handful of 'defectors' from the Venezuelan Gendarmerie rammed border barriers with armored vehicles, seriously injuring several people. Western media outlets tried to claim that the trucks were set on fire by Venezuelan security forces firing tear gas canisters, but the culprits were undoubtedly US/Guaido agents tasked with creating the right 'optics' to support the bogus narrative that the Western media has been pushing for months. In the southeast of the country, near the border with Brazil, clashes broke out between opposing factions and 4 people were killed as 'unknown gunmen' fired on the crowds. In short, for anyone familiar with the details of the previous 68 coups carried out by US governments around the world, the situation in Venezuela is following the worn-out playbook, line for line.
Meanwhile in France, the 15th consecutive weekend of Yellow Vest protests took place with no sign of diminishing numbers. The much-hated Macron government has repeatedly tried and failed to tarnish the image of the protestors. First they were labeled 'far-right extremists', then they were denounced as 'Russian agents', but now the 'big guns' have been brought out and, according to much of the Western media, the Yellow Vest protestors are, to a man and woman, 'dirty anti-semites'. Someone should tell Macron that when you have to resort to such discredited canards, you really should cut your losses and admit defeat. There's little chance of the 'Princes of Paris' doing that, however; they (and most of the Western elite) have spent many years increasing and consolidating their power, and the very last thing they will do at this stage is relinquish even a small part of it.
On this week's NewsReal podcast, Joe & Niall discuss the 'revolutions' in Venezuela (1st hour) and France (last 20 minutes).
What is the only way to demonstrate one's faith in the God's complete power over the fate and destiny of humans? Under what conditions is it permitted to let a non-Jew die, or to kill unarmed civilians in warfare? These are the kinds of questions asked and answered by the theologians and ideologues of the more radical forms of Islam and Judaism. But the reasoning by which the answers are found, and the assumptions about human nature that determine the answers, say more about the individuals doing the reasoning than they do about the ideologies themselves.
Today on the Truth Perspective we continue our look at the work of Shiraz Maher on Salafi-Jihadism, the ideology behind groups like ISIS and al-Nusra, and introduce the work of Israel Shahak, author of Jewish History, Jewish Religion, on how the modern state of Israel has been shaped by the ideology of classical Judaism. While diametrically opposed in some ways, the two religious ideologies share much in common, specifically a peculiar view of human nature and a doctrinaire, legalistic mode of reasoning and enforcement of religious rules.
How much do you really know about your skin? It may surprise you!
Skin is our interface with the outside world - it's the place where we're in constant physical contact with the environment that surrounds us. But we tend to take the health of the skin for granted. Skin problems are often regarded as cosmetic - 'surface level problems' - and we often think creams, lotions and topical medications are the best way of dealing with them.
However, the skin can be, and usually is, a reflection of what's going on inside the body. Problems with the liver and detoxification, an imbalance in the microbiome or any number of other imbalances can all be reflected in the state of the skin. This is why dealing with skin issues often requires going beyond 'Skin Deep'.
Join us for this episode of Objective:Health as we give the straight skinny on skin health - what your skin could be telling you, how to deal with skin issues and look your glowing best!
Also stay tuned for Pet Health with Zoya. This week she shares with us how to deal with a pet that excessively licks its paws.
The 19th century saw a wave of theories claiming to provide the answers for everything: Marxism, psychoanalytic theory, utilitarianism, Zionism, Darwinism, and more. But what did all their creators have in common, besides impressive beards? They all seemed to have a hollowed out, psychologically primitive understanding of human nature which denatured their own theories, and which has denatured the thought of all those influenced by their theories in the process.
Today on the Truth Perspective, we look at some of these theories, with an emphasis on Darwin, with reference to excerpts from Andrew Lobaczewski's writing on schizoid personality disorder and the creation and propagation of ideologies.
When is abortion okay and when is it just killing babies? What are the limits? Is it really a women's rights issue, or is there more to it?
The so-called Reproductive Health Act states that "every individual who becomes pregnant has the fundamental right to choose to carry the pregnancy to term, to give birth to a child, or to have an abortion." This erases the state's recognition of preborn babies older than 24 weeks as potential homicide victims, removes abortion from the penal code entirely, and allows licensed health practitioners other than medical doctors to perform abortion procedures.
This has many people up in arms as it essentially removes the limits on abortion. The Left frames it as a victory for women's rights while the Right are calling those who promote the new mandate participants in a culture of death who authorize infanticide.
Join us on this week's episode of Objective: Health as we get down to the nitty gritty on abortion.
Antifa thuggery, Right Sector barbarity and the political policies that sometimes sweep a nation: How is it that ideologies - whether from the right or from the left - can end up becoming the instruments of evil on a scale that seems unimaginable? Whether liberal and conservative, what happens when a 'spellbinder' or pathological individual attaches him or herself to a movement and hypnotizes those involved into their distorted vision of reality? How does such a process occur and then, like a virus, become a macrosocial phenomenon? And if such dangerous developments are occurring all around us, how does one properly immunize themselves from being infected before its too late?
On this week's Truth Perspective we'll be revisiting Andrew M. Lobaczewski's Political Ponerology and examining some key concepts that can help inoculate us from the ideological fever and fervor that has historically led whole whole nations of individuals astray. Green Deals, Black block heels, and neo-nazi ultranationalists have more in common than most think.
Now into its FOURTH month, the Yellow Vest protest movement in France shows no signs of going away. Despite some financial concessions from Macron's government to French workers, the popular cry remains On ne lache rien! ("We're not letting go"). This weekend, French security forces were again directed by the government to violently suppress the protests in Paris and other major cities.
On this episode of NewsReal, French SOTT editor Pierre Lescaudron joins us to discuss the deeper historical, economic and cultural reasons behind the persistence of this movement, and why the French establishment is so vehemently opposed to it.

Last Friday Gemma Ingason and Katie Card joined pupils at Baden Powell and St Peter's Middle School to each deliver five one-hour workshops on the Tudors for Year 5 and World War Two for Year 6.
The sessions began by introducing how maritime archaeologists find out about the past by using different methods such as diving, research and geophysical survey.
Year 5 became detectives identifying artefacts from a mystery box and trying to work out who their owner was. Children examined coins, medieval pottery, wooden pulley, nit combs and a potato. They discovered the owner was a Tudor sailor. Students discussed what life would have been like on board a Tudor ship.
Meanwhile in Year 6, the children identified fragments recovered from the seabed and tried to work out what they came from. They were excited to discover that the artefacts belonged to a German aeroplane called a Junkers JU 88.
One lucky pupil from each class donned an authentic aviator's suit. The class discussed the different parts of the uniform, including a scarf map, knife tied to the suit with a string and woolly gloves.
The children were brilliant and very much enjoyed learning about their maritime past.

Join us for a performance and workshop with our Swedish colleagues and collaborators Teater Sláva.
Deep under the earth's surface, at the root of the Life-tree, sits the three Norns of Nordic mythology. They have heavy duties: they keep the roots healthy by covering them with mud from the edge of the well of wisdom. They are eternal yet connected to time by the constant making of their hands. They twine the roots to fine threads.
They twine them, measure them by some random logic, and cut. The life of Gods and men are made like this, some troubled by knots and rough fibre, some smooth. Some are measured short, some long, and not by any good deeds, just by chance. The blade met your thread just now, that's all. Cut. Next.
This notion of the three mighty women is re-appearing in fairy tales, myths and even in Shakespeare, but how do we understand the ancient imagery today? Are we still questioning the human condition, trying to find meaning in our life and loss? Can the Norns still speak to us?
The three performers in Twine.Measure.Cut. have worked for a long time together in the ensemble. In the process of making this performance we wanted to find a new sound just for us. So we found new songs, and turned to Bulgaria, where there is such a strong tradition of women voices in coral music. We also wanted the ancient language of the nordic countries, not understood by common man anymore, to be heard.
So we invite all members of the audience to decipher this visual concert through their own experience.
Second show added! Sunday, May 22, 2:00pm at Pig Iron Studios.
Pig Iron Theatre Company is happy to announce the return of Teater Sláva to Philadelphia. We met these artists back in 2001 and their distinctive, highly physical training methods have become part of our shows and our pedagogy. You may remember back in 2008 we co-created SWEET BY-AND-BY with Teater Sláva's Daniel Rudholm which premiered at Live Arts and continues to tour Scandinavia to this day.
This two-day workshop will be led by three core members of Teater Sláva and will introduce professional actors and singers to the basics of their techniques. Find new dimensions in your performance work, and plunge into a world of high-energy movement and vocal production, both individually and in ensembles.
Teater Sláva has developed their distinctive working methods over the course of 20 years. It's hard work and a lot of fun.

Sierra Leone will cut govt spending by 30 pct
PUBLISHED: Tue, 04 Oct 2016 08:31:02 GMT
CNBC Africa
Sierra Leone will cut the cost of running its government by 30 percent to try to tackle an economic crisis triggered by falls in commodity prices and the aftermath of an Ebola epidemic, President Ernest Bai Koroma said in a statement.
The measures will come into effect immediately and continue for the rest of the year. The budget for the first half of 2017 will face similar cuts, the statement issued by Koroma's office on Monday said.
Spending in the 2016 budget was set at 4.65 trillion leones ($831 million) of which 3.1 billion leones was marked for the cost of running the government, the rest being for capital investment.
The IMF forecasts that the Sierra Leone economy will recover by 4.3 percent in 2016, but public finances are still reeling from a 21.5 percent economic contraction in 2015.
The world's worst recorded Ebola epidemic, which began in late 2013 and killed some 11,300 people in Sierra Leone and its neighbours Guinea and Liberia, shattered the country's economy.
"If we are able to fight Ebola, we should be able to put up a fight that will turn around the economic fortunes of the country," Koroma said in the statement, which came after an emergency cabinet meeting.
Diamonds and agriculture form the backbone of Sierra Leone's economy, although iron ore is also a significant source of revenue.
Measures include tasking all government departments with a 50 percent cut to fuel allocations, travel budgets and vehicle maintenance; restrictions on overseas travel, and an outright ban on buying office equipment.
At least 70 percent of all contracts with suppliers would have to be paid in leones, instead of the preferred currency of dollars, and all businesses owing back taxes had 30 days to clear them or face a penalty, the statement said.
($1 = 5,595.0000 leones)

The civil war and the Syrian presidential elections
Sona Hakobyan
Public Radio of Armenia
Syria will hold presidential elections on June 3. Unlike 2007, several candidates will run for President. Although it's hard to say how the elections will be organized and conducted in a war-torn country, expert in Arabic studies Sargis Grigoryan is confident incumbent President Bashar Al-Assad will win. He does not exclude that the elections may be cancelled because of the war.
Speaking about presidential elections in a country where military actions are underway is naive, Sargis Grigoryan said, adding that the events in Syria are civil war, not revolution. "What's happening in Syria is a civil war between the government forces and the opposition – the radical Islamist groups. There are fears that if the latter win, this will split not only Syria, but also the whole Middle Eastern region.
For the first time in Syrian history a female candidate has been nominated; there will no opposition representatives running in the elections. Irrespective of the number of candidates, Sargis Grigoryan is confident that Bashar Al-Assad will be reelected.
"Many experts predict that Bashar Al-Assad will again be reelected, and nothing will change at large. Elections will be held in areas controlled by the government forces. There will be no voting in the regions under the control of the opposition," he said.
