Why do we bury our heads in the sand like ostriches, fear or doubt that the Philippine economy has the potentials to become No. 1 in ASEAN? Why is it that our society has been so overwhelmed by this age-old culture of pessimism – caused by 333 years of psychological bludgeoning by Spanish colonizers, that we drown in talks on how to survive instead of winning?
Why is it that most of the goods in Divisoria and our malls are imports? When shall we vow to produce more and aggressively export to the world? Why is it that our eloquent politicians are only blabbering loudly on headline-grabbing issues like log ban, but few are raising the alarm bells at the closures of so many major factories and the conversion of numerous warehouses into badminton courts?
Why wallow in self-pity, fatalism, trying to just plug the holes of our government budget deficit, how to prevent international credit ratings downgrade, how to solicit more international aid for typhoon victims? Why awaken the whole society, plan and act boldly to make the Philippine economy self-reliant, investor-friendly and globally-competitive?
In competitive sports, isn't aggressive offense the best defense strategy? Shouldn't we help the Philippine economy be more efficient, wipe out mass poverty and be a Manny Pacquiao slugging it out against the best economies of the west and Asia? Instead of just targetting 10 percent, 20 percent or 30 percent yearly tourism growth, why not aim high and vow to vanquish our neighbor Thailand as ASEAN's No. 1 tourist destination?
Instead of pessimistically worrying about the rise of new global power China, SGV Group founder Washington SyCip, JG Summit Holdings founder John Gokongwei Jr. and shipping tycoon Endika Aboitiz recently told the Philippine STAR that we should learn to embrace this wave of the future, make preparations to cash in, learn Mandarin and ensure that the Philippine economy profits from close trade/investments ties. Why do we allow India to corner the lion's share of US outsourcing billions, why not leverage our being America's only former colony and boost our English-language education nationwide in order to become the world's No. 1 outsourcing power?
At the recent December 4 annual election of the Anvil Executive Club held at Rockwell Club in Makati, the new set of 17 officers immediately approved numerous new projects including canceling the annual Christmas reception so funds raised would be donated to the typhoon victims and our proposal for the Anvil Prize for Global Competitiveness. The officers went late at night to the Philippine National Red Cross (PNRC) headquarters in Port Area, Manila to immediately give the check to PNRC Chairman Richard Gordon and to pledge more support for their efficient relief efforts.
After our election as president, we nominated Confederation of Garment Exporters of the Philippines (CONGEP) president George Siy and steel industrialist/Manila Bay Rotary Club past president Jeffrey Ng to be co-chairmen of this Anvil Prize, which seeks to honor individuals, groups, corporations or institutions promoting a culture of Philippine global competitiveness. Other newly-elected officers of Anvil supportive of the innovative Anvil Prize for Global Competitiveness include EVP Roy Chua (who will organize the First Anvil Golf Cup and the First Anvil Badminton Open in 2005), VPs Danny Ching and Alvin Uy of Ortigas Home Depot, directors Bernard Go of Contract Designs Furnitures, Ronald Alan Ko, William Co Villanueva, incoming PAREB real estate group national president Bobby Sy, Wilfred Co of Robinson Handyman/Do It Best, Michael Chenglay, Jeffrey Cobankiat, Mark Sy Cabilangan, Eduardo Cobankiat and Charlton Ng.
Anvil Executive Club is an organization that molds future leaders not only in business and industry, but also in different professions and civic causes. The focus is on promoting traditional Confucian values, entrepreneurship and professional excellence. Instead of surrendering to the onslaught of globalization, giving up, migrating to greener pastures in the west or other parts of the globe, the consensus of the Anvil officers and members is to help reform the Philippine economy to become more globally competitive.
Past Anvil officers include Michael G. Tan of Asia Brewery and David Chua of Cathay Pacific Steel Corp., both of whose fathers were past presidents of the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce & Industry Inc. where they are now active; real estate businesswoman and PACES founder Elena Tanyu Coyiuto; Philippine Amalgamated Association of Supermarkets (Pag-Asa) president Steve Cua; Ateneo math whiz Prof. Dr. Queena Lee-Chua, flour mill businesswoman Aileen Uygongco-Ongkauko, Philippine Association of Electrical Industries president Peter Go Mangasing, and others. Can these and other Anvil officers help propagate a spirit of dynamic competitiveness, so that our many obsolete and inefficient Philippine industries will not perish but become future world conquerors and top exporters?
Former Anvil director Berck Y. Cheng first met his bride Lisa Y. Gokongwei of Summit Media/Entrepreneur magazine at an Anvil event. An Anvil member told us, instead of Summit Media licensing foreign periodicals like Cosmopolitan, Entrepreneur, Seventeen and FHM, maybe Lisa and her staff can export to the West their own homegrown brands like Preview or Yes magazines instead? A former Anvil member is Agriculture Secretary Atty. Arthur Yap; can his tenure possibly see the day the Philippines will again export agriculture like sugar and other commodities like decades ago? Another former Anvil member is Chamber of Thrift Banks past president and Asia Trust Bank president Dionisio Ong. Ong actively espouses the idea that encouraging small and medium-scale entrepreneurs with world-class quality standards is the true hope of the Philippine economy.
Did you see the recent comic episode in Sen. Jamby Madrigal's "Pythagorean theorem" and "elasticities" jargon in discussing cigarette tax issues, causing other senators to laugh in bewilderment or suffer from headaches? Was Madrigal making sense or just spewing out fancy theories to impress the gallery? How come most of our politicians in the Senate appeared like clueless students who just flunked algebra exams?
This column recently received an e-mail from the Mathematics Trainers' Guild, Philippines (MTGP) asking assistance for private sector sponsorships for their hosting of the 2005 Philippine Elementary Mathematics International Contest (PEMIC 2005), a five-day competition set for May 2005. Government supports this major project through the Department of Education and the Department of Science & Technology, but these state agencies are unable to give financial support.
PEMIC 2005 hopes to gather over 50 teams, including those from Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, South Korea, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, USA and Vietnam. The math trainers of the country are inviting sponsors to support this major event, which seeks to promote the country's international image and to elevate the mathematics standards of Philippine schools to world-class levels. Interested sponsors can contact Dr. Eduardo de la Cruz at 734-7371 or text 0917-3502686, or Roberto Degolacion at 0917-3246302. The vice president for internal affairs of MTGP is Lucy O. Sia, my former trigonometry math teacher at Grace Christian High School who is legendary for being quicker than a calculator in solving the most puzzling math problems mentally.
One of the best ways to promote global competitiveness in the Philippines is to upgrade mathematics education nationwide. How can we ignite a national entrepreneurial revolution of many of our people, even our politicians who control the state coffers, do not know how to count well? How can we have economic progress, industrial growth and technological innovations if we do not mass produce more engineers and technical experts proficient in mathematical principles?
Societies and individuals should work and dream beyond mere economic subsistence and survival, but aim higher for excellence. After the European Jewish refugees and others fought a guerrilla war against the British colonial regime and resisted attacks by Arab armies, they went beyond survival and sought to build a vibrant free enterprise economy in their democratic state of Israel. When Lee Kuan Yew-led Singapore was kicked out of Muslim-ruled Malaysia in the 1960s, their leader shed tears on national TV but worked not only for survival of the resource-poor city-state but built it up into a world-class economic powerhouse.
After the South Koreans fought back the Communist hordes invading from North Korea in the 1950s with the US, Philippines and aid from other UN allied nations led by Gen. Douglas MacArthur, they not only worked for survival of their war-torn nation. They dreamt and built up South Korea into a mighty industrial power rivaling former colonizer Japan in ship, steel, automobile and electronics exports globally. When the Chiang Kai-Shek regime was booted out of mainland China by the Communist revolution of Mao Zedong, resource-poor and backward Taiwan province under the Kuomintang/Nationalist leadership pursued a policy of national self-reliance. Taiwan not only survived Cold War era threats and diplomatic isolation, the dynamic free enterprise economy has prospered to become a globally competitive world leader in information technology (IT) and high-tech exports.
We should demolish our society's age-old culture of pessimism, go beyond survival of the Philippine economy with dependence on OCW dollar remittances, but we should export more and woo more tourists into our shores! We shouldn't just be fixated with log ban debates, but implement an aggressive reforestation campaign so that we can someday revive the once robust Philippine lumber export industry, inspired by the US example of efficient forest management. Instead of only shouting with sound and fury for less corruption and less pork barrel funds to solve the government budget deficit, let us woo more investors, encourage the launching of new enterprises, support existing firms, so that the state can collect more tax revenues!
Fearless and bold offense – not pessimism and fatalistic surrender – is the best defense against the onslaught of globalization. We do not have the luxury of time to delay far-reaching socio-economic reforms. We must shape up and compete, or we shall stagnate and be left inexorably behind. Let us make the Philippine economy more efficient and globally competitive!

Holmen is investing SEK 400 million to increase value added and capacity at Iggesund Sawmill
SWEDEN (News release) -- The investment is a further step in Holmen's strategy to grow the wood products business and contribute to the green transition. This will increase the production at Iggesund Sawmill by 20 per cent as well as adding construction timber on top of its joinery products range.
"We grow houses. To develop the wood products business is a natural extension of forestry and an important dimension in Holmen's strategy of owning and adding value to the forest. Following the acquisition of Martinsons and the expansion of Braviken, the investment in Iggesund Sawmill is the next step in strengthening our position in wood products," says Henrik Sjölund, Holmen's President and CEO.
The investment will enable the sawmill to switch from lower grade joinery spruce to construction timber in both spruce and pine. This will increase the value added and improve the market mix by increasing the share sold to Scandinavian builders' merchants.
"Wood as a construction material is benefiting from the ongoing transition to a fossil-free world, especially if concrete and steel will carry their true climate cost. We continue to focus on adding value to the forest we own and are already part of the solution to the climate issue. Our strategic position is right on point financially and in terms of the climate," comments Henrik Sjölund, Holmen's President and CEO.

Check out our Bug Hotel!!
Home » Whitby Holiday News » Check out our Bug Hotel!!
Above is an image of how a Bug Hotel looks and this is similar to our Bug Hotel that we are building ready for 2016 season!
With lots of wildlife everywhere you turn we thought with being a Holiday Park we would cater for the wildlife visitors too!!
We have tried to provide habitat sections for the varied species of wildlife you would find on a holiday park or garden.
We have started to fill ours with bark and twigs for the beetles, centipedes, spiders and woodlice to live in. We have left room for larger animals such as hedgehogs to use as their new home!
By providing the right homes for the wildlife, we are then trying to encourage them to breed and increase their numbers for those animals and insects etc that are declining in the countryside.
We have built ours on a bank side, so that it is protected from the elements but easy enough for the wildlife to get to to build their new home!
We have also got in our plans to plant bee and butterfly friendly flowers and plants to encourage them to pollinate and provide a happy environment for them to live in. The preferred flowers to plant for bees are: Purple Flowers such as lavender and buddleja. Tubular flowers are also another favourite with bees are: foxgloves, honeysuckle and snapdragons.
The best flowers to plant in Spring are: bluebells, daffodils, hawthorn and rosemary and other flowers that are similar. Early Summer flowers to plant are: fennel, foxglove and hardy geranium. For ideas for Late Summer flower planting try: aster, buddleja, dahlia, fuchsia and lavender. The idea behind planting at different times of the year is to have enough pollen for the young to feed on and enough nectar for the adult bees to feed on throughout their life cycle between March and September.
So when you come and stay with us come and have a look at our Bug Hotel and see all the lovely Bee and Butterfly friendly flowers and plants we have planted.
You might even try and have a go at home! If you do then why not send in a photo of your Bug Hotel or Bee friendly flowers and we will gladly add it to our Facebook page and Twitter page!
Good luck and have fun in the garden!

Q: ConditionTimeout of async tests when using wiremock I have one instance of wiremock that is used across multiple test classes, It has worked fine until recently, when used to test
async methods, when the test classes are ran singly, tests pass but when the entire tests are ran(mvn test), some of the async class tests fail with
ConditionTimeOut error. The verify is failing because, I presume, the wiremock server was not done when the verify was called and the awaitility library is
waiting for it. Just my understanding based on this links -->
https://github.com/tomakehurst/wiremock/issues/565
https://github.com/tomakehurst/wiremock/issues/574
here is my wiremock class def :

here is an example test async class:

Shovels at the ready - let's get on with HS2
Cities round-up: UK and Ireland
HS2 rolling out new procurement strategy on next set of works up for grabs
By Will Ing2019-09-18T10:31:00+01:00
Railway looking at CM route for phase 2a of scheme running from Birmingham to Crewe
HS2 is looking for a single partner to manage construction of phase 2a – extending the rail route from the West Midlands to Crewe.
While the railway let two-part design and build contracts for much of the phase 1 civils work, HS2 has suggested it will employ more of the supply chain directly for phase 2a.
It will kick-start its hunt for a "design and delivery partner" in spring next year, Building understands, with a contract worth between £300m and £500m likely to be signed in 2021.
The construction manager will be responsible for design, systems integration and logistics and commissioning along the railway– as well as managing main works contractors.
HS2 is currently planning to split civils work for phase 2a, which does not have any stations, into seven packages – although procurement for these jobs is expected to begin after a deliver partner has been appointed.
Although none of the packages yet have prices, they are understood to have a collective value of around £3bn – with the whole of phase 2a predicted to cost between £3.6bn to £4bn.
Analysis: What else is blocking HS2? We all know about its ballooning budget but it could be procurement problems that take HS2 off track
Which construction firms have landed HS2 contracts so far?
In a notice posted to the Official Journal, HS2 said there were "differing procurement routes and commercial terms being anticipated in each" of the seven packages.
Civils work for phase 2b will include 2.5km of bored tunnel and 7km of viaducts, alongside 42 structures and one rail head.
The £88bn rail scheme is currently subject to a review led by former chairman Doug Oakervee on behalf of the government, which has vowed to decide on the scheme's future by the end of the year.
But for now, HS2 is operating on the assumption it will go ahead – including hosting an industry day on 8 October to outline its procurement strategy for phase 2a.
Firms wanting to attend the event, which will be held in central Birmingham, can sign up here.

As Kart4Kids starts off 2019, we are reminded of our fabulous sponsors and donors. As a result of 2018's efforts and generosity, we were able to provide Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital with three portable EEG units and one ECMO unit. In doing so, this story is near and dear to our hearts. ECMO machines help children like Julian, who are born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia have a higher than average chance at survival.
Please watch the linked video and celebrate Julian's life as well as the efforts of the many healthcare workers who were responsible for his excellent treatment while at JHACH.
The 8th Annual Kart 4 Kids Pro-Am Race will be held in downtown St. Petersburg on March 6 at 3:00 pm within the footprint of the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.

Previous participants also include Scott Dixon, Helio Castroneves, Tony Kanaan, Ricky and Jordan Taylor, and more from IndyCar and the World Challenge Championship racing series. They will join local amateurs to race around the temporary kart track on the airport runway.

Mothers' Coping Styles During Times of Chronic Security Stress: Effect on Health Status
Julie Cwikel, Dorit Segal-Engelchin, Sheryl Mendlinger
In this study, we investigated the coping behaviors used by Israeli mothers to manage various sources of stress, including security-related stress, based on a life-course perspective of women's health. A random telephone survey of 302 mothers who had children under age 18 living at home was conducted in the Negev area. Measures of stress such as domestic violence, sources of tension in everyday life, and time pressure were assessed together with indicators of exposure to the Intifada for their relationship to indicators of physiological health and depression. Factor analysis revealed three distinct coping styles: social-leisure style, loosening control style, and a restlessness style which were used by 91.4%, 68.5%, and 69.5% of the sample, respectively. Security-related stress was associated with greater reported health symptoms, particularly gynecological symptoms. A history of child abuse and domestic violence and exposure to the Intifada were associated with greater depressive symptoms, but not with physical health indicators. Other sources of stress particularly affected symptoms related to gynecological function. Most mothers used a variety of coping strategies during times of chronic security stress, some of which are health promoting and others that detract from health.

"Borat": Controversial perspective or perspective controversy?
Justin Horowitz ('10)/ For Eastside
The now controversial character "Borat" was originated by the character actor Sacha Baron Cohen (Talladega Nights) on the HBO "Da Ali G Show". As Borat, Cohen gives us one of most brilliant comedic performances in film history, joining the performances of Steve Carrel in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" or John Belushi in "Animal House." His actions appear fictional, but Cohen's fake accent is purely and electrifyingly hilarious; he never shifts character throughout the entire work.
Surrounding this film are many fans and even more opponents. "Borat" was a "mock"umentary, which, is a film which purposely feigns the appearance of a documentary. The people featured throughout the film, except for the fictional Borat and Bagatov, were real and totally unaware of that the two were, in actuality, mere imposters.
A news reporter, who was deceived by Cohen's unique acting and his fake credentials, interviewed Borat on a talk show and was fired for taking the fictional character seriously. Many are furious at the film's criticized super-sized bowl of racism and crude humor, showing no mercy to every religion and race in the world. Adding to the controversy are the films' "players", who were unaware that the documentary was actually a "mock"umentary, and that Borat was the product of a comic genius' imagination. The most angered were two members of a fraternity, who were oblivious to Borat's lack of credibility and said racist and sexist comments on camera.
This film is without a doubt one of the greatest comedies ever made, joining "South Park: Bigger, Longer, And Uncut" and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" as some of the best modern "simple enjoyment" films. This movie is, potentially, of the most talked about and beloved of the year.
As Borat said, "Please, you come see my film. If it not success, I will be execute."

En fiscalité publique, le terme voies et les moyens représente les recettes totales d'un état, qu'elles soient fiscales, non-fiscales ou de capital. Le terme est une périphrase pour désigner dès l'origine les voies et moyens pour générer les revenus de l'état. En Angleterre, un comité des voies et des moyens a été créé en 1641.

Historiquement, dans les pays anglo-saxons (UK, USA, Canada, ...) le comité des voies et les moyens (ways and means committee) est chargé d'examiner les budgets gouvernementaux et de faire des recommandations à leurs sujets.

Royaume-Uni
Le comité est aboli en 1967 et la mission est confiée au chancelier de l'Échiquier. Cependant, la charge de Chairman of Ways and Means, qui préside le comité, est celui qui remplace, en cas d'absence, le président de la Chambre des communes du Royaume-Uni.

États-Unis
Le United States House Committee on Ways and Means(en) est un comité de la Chambre des représentants des États-Unis. Il a compétence sur toutes les mesures fiscales, tarifaires et autres mesures visant à augmenter les recettes, ainsi que sur la sécurité sociale, le Medicare et un certain nombre d'autres programmes.

Canada
Le comité a été aboli et la mission est confié au ministre des Finances.

France
En France, le ministère du budget produit le tableau des voies et les moyens en annexe de la loi de finances. L'annexe bleue appelée « Évaluation des voies et moyens » détaille et justifie l'évolution de ces recettes et permet de donner une information exhaustive sur les dispositifs de dépenses fiscales, et détaille leur impact global sur les recettes du budget de l'État. La loi de finance est adopté par le parlement. Art.32, loi de Finance 1980 précise:

Behind the Music in the Evening: I'll see you in court, Groening!
So, I'm watching Futurama: Bender's Game, and guess what the plot is? The main cast get transported into a Dungeons and Dragons fantasy kingdom! I'm in serious talks with my team of bloodthirsty lawyers, and I won't settle for less than ten million!
... actually, since this is an animated movie, their plot's probably been in the works since before there was a Music in the Evening, and no more than five people have even heard of MitE. But don't worry, I'm sure there's some loophole. In the meantime, guilt checks, preferably blank, may be mailed to me.


I tried a new sleeping pill recently. While perusing the sleeping pill aisle at the grocery store, I realized almost every brand is actually the exact same formula. Unisom is different, but it doesn't work well for me – or rather, it works too well.
This new one is called Alteril and markets itself as a natural, drug-free sleep aid. It has tryptophan, melatonin, and a handful of apothecary-sounding ingredients like skullcap herb extract and valerian root extract. You're supposed to take two tablets an hour before bedtime.
So I did that on Thursday night. I was already really tired, but I usually have trouble falling asleep, so the extent to which I slept well due to the Alteril (rather than just being tired) is unclear. But I slept most of Friday. I've been fighting off a cold, and lost my battle on Friday; Jarom stayed home from work so I was able to rest.
Since we had lots of company over for June's birthday cake on Saturday, I was up all Friday night cleaning and baking and trying to make the house somewhat presentable. Note to self: you are not 18 anymore. All-nighters are not an option.
When everyone had gone home after the party, I took two Alteril and went to bed. And slept beautifully for 15 hours straight.
I started thinking maybe a half dose would be better for me, so last night I just took one tablet.
Sure enough, an hour later I was extremely tired and ready to go to sleep. But I couldn't fall asleep. I went in and out of that in-between stage, where you think you might be awake and only realize after a noise jolts you into consciousness that you've actually been dozing. This lasted about four hours.
I did finally fall into a deeper sleep, but then the kids started waking up (and waking each other up). And Ender wanted out. And then I couldn't go back to sleep. I was officially awake from 5:30 this morning.
I'm glad you have found something that helps you – but I have to say the marketing for Alteril is pretty genius. It takes a few well known herbal supplements and combines them into a single pill, then gives it a vaguely pharmaceutical brand name "Alteril", with an accompanying pharmaceutical looking logo. The best part is the Latin subtitle "somnia latoril", which evokes the chemical names of well known pharmaceuticals like "Aleve" (naproxen sodium) or "Nexium" (esomeprazole magnesium). Of course, "somnia latoril" is not a chemical name, but rather a marketing message. I think it translates as "dream-bearing".
I'm not trying to say this is a bad product – if it helps you, that's great. But the marketing of herbs as pharmaceuticals, complete with faux chemical names is a new idea for me. My family always used herbs precisely because they were outside of the medical establishment, which we mistrusted. Now the exact same herbs are marketed in such a way as to convince people they're AMA approved medicines. Fascinating.
Maybe 2 is good and you slept 15 hours because you NEEDED it?

Grattan Institute superannuation findings "broadly consistent" with Treasury
Tags:Super Guarantee rate
The findings in a controversial report from the Grattan Institute are broadly in line with internal Treasury analysis, documents recently released under FOI reveal.
A Grattan Institute report released late last year, called Money in retirement: more than enough, found that most Australians would have enough money for retirement, and so recommended against increases in the Super Guarantee rate.
Documents released under Freedom of Information, including a Treasury Ministerial Submission, show the Treasury summarised the Grattan Institute report by saying: "The conventional wisdom that Australians do not save enough for their retirement is incorrect. Overall, retirement incomes are currently adequate for retirees and will remain so."
"Most retirees today are more comfortable with their finances than younger Australians who are still working. Retirees spend less and many are net saves, often leaving their nest egg as large as their savings on the day they retired".
The documents say the findings of the Grattan Institute are "broadly consistent with internal Treasury analysis".
Treasury is of the view – which is disputed – that an increased Super Guarantee comes out of wages.
"Though compulsory SG contributions are paid by employers, wage setting generally takes into account all labour costs. As such, it is widely accepted that employees bear the cost of higher SG in the form of lower take home pay."
"This means there will be a trade-off between people's income during their working lives and their income during their retirement."
This is part of the motivation of some Coalition MPs who have been calling for another pause, if not freeze, for increases to the SG rate. Though senior Treasury Ministers have committed to the currently legislated increases.
Treasury also says that increasing the SG rate could widen the superannuation gender gap.
"The main drivers of women having lower balances than men are women's lower incomes and longer career breaks. While the increase in rate of SG would increase retirement balances for women, it would likely lead to an even larger increase in male retirement balances due to their higher lifetime earnings."
While the modelling may produce similar results, there is differing views on the implications for policy.
One of the recommendations of the Grattan Institute is that the Superannuation Guarantee rate should stay at 9.5%. Treasury says: "The SG rate will increase to 12 per cent by 2025. The Government has no plans to change this at this time. It is important that people have certainty around how much their compulsory superannuation contributions will be into the future so they can plan accordingly."
The Treasury documents indicate the Government is not interested in adopting any of the other recommendations either – including considering raising the age pension age to 70, lowering the taper rate to $2.25, and increasing Commonwealth Rent Assistance.
Treasury emails, also released, highlight the finding that "no one is drawing down on their assets (ie. spending) at a rate fast [sic] than their assets are growing at".
"Retirees of tomorrow can expect to be even better off. The average worker today can expect inflation-adjusted retirement income of at least 90 per cent of their pre-retirement income – well above the 70 per cent benchmark endorsed by the OECD," says another document.
The findings of the report are "broadly consistent with Treasury analysis that finds a replacement rate above 90 per cent for the median salary and wage earner where incomes are deflated by CPI and based on average retirement life income as a percentage of the average of the last five years of working life salary and wage income".
Though using CPI for these calculations has been criticised.
Rice Warner's criticism that the use of CPI by the Grattan Institute is inappropriate is also noted in Treasury correspondence, as it "amounts to saying that retirees shouldn't participate in improvements in living standards above inflation".
Though an email to the Treasury Retirement and Income Modelling Unit says use of different spending data by the Grattan Institute (which uses the ABS Survey of Income and Housing data instead of the HILDA survey used by "AIST/super industry") is a "pretty robust rebuttal to the criticism of CI deflation on the grounds of costs rising faster than CPI in retirement".
But the criticism of the Grattan Institute report is broader than just CPI.
"The superannuation industry criticised the Grattan Report. This includes the Industry Super Australia describing as 'deeply flawed' Grattan Institute claims that the SG at its current rate will deliver adequate incomes for future retirees."
Emails point to some of the criticism by ISA of the Grattan Institute modelling, including that it "hides low contributions and savings cohorts by grouping them together with higher contribution", there are "no couples or gender splits", "no work breaks assumed", and "home ownership is assumed".
Though another email says the criticisms by ISA "look pretty specious", and points out that ACOSS (Australian Council of Social Service) and the BCA (Business Council of Australia) are "quietly in favour of Grattan's proposals".
In a list of "Treasury comments" on a draft of the Grattan report, Treasury said that is would be "beneficial" if the report considered alternatives to Account Based Pensions, such as Comprehensive Income Products for Retirement (CIPR).
Large sections of the documents released are blanked out, with references to the FOI Act for exempt or irrelevant matter.

On 4 March 2015 the FCA issued a consultation setting out their revised regulatory approach to advice on DB to DC transfers. The consultation document can be found . The NAPF's response welcomes the extension of FCA's regulatory powers to cover advice on transfers from occupational DB schemes to occupational DC schemes as well as some other minor regulatory tweaks. However, we also express concern about an apparent inconsistency in the treatment of GAR benefits between the FCA and DWP as we have urged FCA to clarify this as soon as possible to avoid confusion.


This strategy is generally used when demand exceeds the number of core positions needed to accommodate minimum production goals. Now would be a good time to call Green Arrow, we've got the right stuff. In this case that would be qualified, pre-trained, non-core staff on a temporary/contract/project basis. Using our short-term/contract staffing also saves you the trouble of layoffs and unemployment after the extra help is no longer needed.
It's kind of like buying a new car. You wouldn't spend all that money without test-driving it first. So why would you want to permanently hire a new employee without seeing how they perform on the job? Green Arrow has resource specialists that recruit employees who meet your company's standards and qualifications. Hiring the right person the first time saves your company the time and expense that comes with advertising, interviewing, and possibly, hiring the wrong person. Contract-to-Hire gives you the chance to take your potential new-hire for a spin. When the contract ends, companies have the option to hire the employee, or move on to the next.
Let's get down to business. Your business is our business and business is business. If your business is booming and you need a little more than traditional staffing, Green Arrow offers a customized program that focuses on the recruitment, performance, and success of the non-core workforce. We make it our business for this program to include matching specific candidates to company requirements for permanent employment within client companies. In addition, this program integrates Green Arrow as a business partner to your business, once again making it our business to increase your business' profitability….which makes Green Arrow more than just a service provider. If we say "business" one more time (which we did) that makes twelve times in one paragraph.

Q: Unable to install Python GAE correctly in ubuntu Trying to learn how to use GAE Python SDK. I have unzipped the package to my home directory in Ubuntu, made a new directory with the name "GoogleApps" in the home directory too. I wrote the two files mentioned in the Hello, World! Example at GAE help putting them in a directory I named "helloworld" placed inside "GoogleApps". But I wasn't able to test the application, I entered the following to the terminal:  google_appengine/dev_appserver.py helloworld/ it returned a lot of things ending with "IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'helloworld'"
I tried opening the dev app server using the command mentioned here, it returned "dev_appserver.py: command not found". Through some googling I managed to insert the path to GAE commands in .profile, I put PATH="$PATH:/home/mohamed/google_appengine. Why isn't it working?
A marginal question:Is there is a GUI for GAE Python SDK on linux?

KK'S PRIEST's Second Album Is Being Mixed: 'It's Imminent', Says K.K. DOWNING
On November 11, former JUDAS PRIEST guitarist K.K. Downing spoke to Danny Stoakes about the status of the sophomore album from his KK'S PRIEST band. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "It's imminent, for sure. Everything's gonna be sticky-taped and glued together, and we'll fire it out very soon. It's more than well on the way; we're in the mixing process."
He continued: "It's great. I can't wait. It's so frustrating. You just want it out now. But it will happen. So I'm looking forward to that."
Downing is joined in KK'S PRIEST by former JUDAS PRIEST singer Tim "Ripper" Owens (vocals),along with guitarist A.J. Mills (HOSTILE),bassist Tony Newton (VOODOO SIX) and drummer Sean Elg (DEATHRIDERS, CAGE).
KK'S PRIEST's debut album, "Sermons Of The Sinner", was released in October 2021 via Explorer1 Music Group/EX1 Records.
Downing spent four months writing and recording "Sermons Of The Sinner" and, along with new ideas, he even resurrected a few archived riffs from the '80s.
K.K. formed KK'S PRIEST after JUDAS PRIEST turned down his offer to rejoin the band for their 50th-anniversary tour. It followed a couple of celebrated stage appearances, first with former MANOWAR guitarist Ross The Boss in the summer of 2019, then with a one-off lineup that included former MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson and former PRIEST drummer Les Binks later that year.
Downing was reunited with JUDAS PRIEST for a performance at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony on November 5 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
PRIEST received the Musical Excellence Award at the event, which honored Eminem, Dolly Parton, DURAN DURAN, Lionel Richie, Pat Benatar, EURYTHMICS and Carly Simon in the Performers category.
Downing left PRIEST in 2011 amid claims of band conflict, shoddy management and declining quality of performance. He was replaced by Richie Faulkner, nearly three decades his junior.
In 2019, Downing said that he reached out to JUDAS PRIEST about taking part in the band's 50th-anniversary tour but that their response was that they were not interested in including him in the celebrations.
In 2018, Downing revealed that he sent two resignation letters to his bandmates when he decided to quit JUDAS PRIEST. The first was described as "a graceful exit note, implying a smooth retirement from music," while the second was "angrier, laying out all of his frustrations with specific parties."
Downing later said that he believed the second letter was "a key reason" he wasn't invited to rejoin PRIEST after Glenn Tipton's decision to retire from touring.
Owens joined PRIEST in 1996 and recorded two studio albums with the band — 1997's "Jugulator" and 2001's "Demolition" — before PRIEST reunited with Rob Halford in 2003.
A little over a year ago, Downing said that he had no problems with fans making comparisons between PRIEST and KK'S PRIEST. "It's absolutely fine, because it's who I am and what I am and what I do and how I do it," he told Brazilian journalist Igor Miranda. "It's too late to change; I can't change. I can't go out and buy different guitars and different amplifiers and start to write differently and think differently. I have to do things the way that I like them to be done. And that's what I did in JUDAS PRIEST for all those years to the best of my ability. But even now that I don't have to consult with anyone else, really, then I feel a lot more freedom to be able to do this.
"I think I can do what I do better now than I did before, if that makes any sense," he continued. "Because I'm working and writing and putting things together for me — and, obviously, of course, the rest of the members in [KK'S PRIEST] as well. But I was on my own, for the most part, in the lockdown doing this. But there was a lot of things I wanted to say and get off my chest.
"The [KK'S PRIEST] album's full of emotions, sentiments and messages and also rejoicement. It's a lot of things, all in one package. And it was very important for me to be able to express myself through this album.
"I know that people will make comparisons, but that's fine. I either succeed or fail, like everyone else in life. But I'm a fan of this wonderful style of music, and if I like it, I'm hopefully sure that the fans will like it too. And I really hope they do. And I'm very much looking forward to the feedback from everybody all over the world.
"Towards the end for me in JUDAS PRIEST, it wasn't as energized as it was in former years, and I missed that. I remember the days when Rob [Halford, PRIEST singer] used to come offstage and he used to empty his boots out, and the water — which was sweat — used to just pour out of the boots. And it was the same for all of us. It was like we ran a marathon or something. So, hopefully we deliver that up. So I'm looking forward to doing that. I'm definitely gonna do my best, put it that way."

District decision-making for health in low-income settings: a feasibility study of a data-informed platform for health in India, Nigeria and Ethiopia

Download DIPH Feasibility study 181KB
Low-resource settings often have limited use of local data for health system planning and decision-making. To promote local data use for decision-making and priority setting, we propose an adapted framework: a data-informed platform for health (DIPH) aimed at guiding coordination, bringing together key data from the public and private sectors on inputs and processes. In working to transform this framework from a concept to a health systems initiative, we undertook a series of implementation research activities including background assessment, testing and scaling up of the intervention. This first paper of four reports the feasibility of the approach in a district health systems context in five districts of India, Nigeria and Ethiopia. We selected five districts using predefined criteria and in collaboration with governments. After scoping visits, an in-depth field visit included interviews with key health stakeholders, focus group discussions with service-delivery staff and record review. For analysis, we used five dimensions of feasibility research based on the TELOS framework: technology and systems, economic, legal and political, operational and scheduling feasibility. We found no standardized process for data-based district level decision-making, and substantial obstacles in all three countries. Compared with study areas in Ethiopia and Nigeria, the health system in Uttar Pradesh is relatively amenable to the DIPH, having relative strengths in infrastructure, technological and technical expertise, and financial resources, as well as a district-level stakeholder forum. However, a key challenge is the absence of an effective legal framework for engagement with India's extensive private health sector. While priority-setting may depend on factors beyond better use of local data, we conclude that a formative phase of intervention development and pilot-testing is warranted as a next step.
