Superbike fans flocked to the The Willows Garden Centre at Glentham for a special bike night with three British Superbike champions: Jason O'Halloran, Lee Jackson and Ryuichi Kiyonari, known as Kiyo.

(NYSE:PAC) is a good investment right now by following the lead of some of the best investors in the world and piggybacking their ideas. There's no better way to get these firms' immense resources and analytical capabilities working for us than to follow their lead into their best ideas. While not all of these picks will be winners, our research shows that these picks historically outperformed the market by double digits annually.
Is Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE:PAC) a marvelous investment right now? Prominent investors were taking a pessimistic view. The number of long hedge fund positions dropped by 1 lately. Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE:PAC) was in 6 hedge funds' portfolios at the end of the third quarter of 2020. The all time high for this statistics is 8. Our calculations also showed that PAC isn't among the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds (click for Q3 rankings and see the video for a quick look at the top 5 stocks). There were 7 hedge funds in our database with PAC positions at the end of the second quarter.
So, why do we pay attention to hedge fund sentiment before making any investment decisions? Our research has shown that hedge funds' small-cap stock picks managed to beat the market by double digits annually between 1999 and 2016, but the margin of outperformance has been declining in recent years. Nevertheless, we were still able to identify in advance a select group of hedge fund holdings that outperformed the S&P 500 ETFs by more than 66 percentage points since March 2017 (see the details here). We were also able to identify in advance a select group of hedge fund holdings that underperformed the market by 10 percentage points annually between 2006 and 2017. Interestingly the margin of underperformance of these stocks has been increasing in recent years. Investors who are long the market and short these stocks would have returned more than 27% annually between 2015 and 2017. We have been tracking and sharing the list of these stocks since February 2017 in our quarterly newsletter. Even if you aren't comfortable with shorting stocks, you should at least avoid initiating long positions in stocks that are in our short portfolio.

Below, you can check out the change in hedge fund sentiment towards PAC over the last 21 quarters. So, let's check out which hedge funds were among the top holders of the stock and which hedge funds were making big moves.
More specifically, Renaissance Technologies was the largest shareholder of Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE:PAC), with a stake worth $80.1 million reported as of the end of September. Trailing Renaissance Technologies was Southpoint Capital Advisors, which amassed a stake valued at $8.9 million.

In terms of the portfolio weights assigned to each position Voss Capital allocated the biggest weight to Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE:PAC), around 0.29% of its 13F portfolio. Southpoint Capital Advisors is also relatively very bullish on the stock, dishing out 0.2 percent of its 13F equity portfolio to PAC.
Because Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE:PAC) has faced bearish sentiment from hedge fund managers, it's safe to say that there was a specific group of fund managers who sold off their entire stakes last quarter. Intriguingly, Peter Rathjens, Bruce Clarke and John Campbell's Arrowstreet Capital cut the largest stake of all the hedgies followed by Insider Monkey, valued at about $10.1 million in stock, and Greg Eisner's Engineers Gate Manager was right behind this move, as the fund said goodbye to about $0.4 million worth. These moves are important to note, as total hedge fund interest fell by 1 funds last quarter.

United Therapeutics Corporation (NASDAQ:UTHR) is the most popular stock in this table.

(NYSE:PAC) is even less popular than APPN. Our overall hedge fund sentiment score for PAC is 26.5. Stocks with higher number of hedge fund positions relative to other stocks as well as relative to their historical range receive a higher sentiment score. Hedge funds clearly dropped the ball on PAC as the stock delivered strong returns, though hedge funds' consensus picks still generated respectable returns. Our calculations showed that top 20 most popular stocks among hedge funds returned 41.3% in 2019 and outperformed the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) by 10 percentage points. These stocks gained 30.7% in 2020 through November 27th and still beat the market by 16.1 percentage points.

We know that all of you will wish to stay longer when visiting the Arenal area, sometimes not having enough time to explore is a problem and a shame, but hey… we have the best solution! Our 4in1 Combo Tours are the right way to see, visit and experience as much as possible in one day.
Our tours will start in the mornings, right after you have enjoyed of a healthy breakfast at the hotel, we will take you to the first natural activity at either the hanging bridges or the safari float so you can enjoy of some of the best spots to see wildlife, water, fruits and snacks will be provided and you will continue towards the second activity: the beautiful Fortuna waterfall, here you will go down the trail made up by stairs for about 20 minutes until you reached the waterfall, make sure to pack up your bathing suit and take a refreshing bath.
A fabulous lunch will be provided, you need to recharge the batteries… a local family ranch awaits you by the river to have a tasteful experience, take some fruit drinks and relax… The afternoon will end up by heading towards the Arenal Volcano area, you will take one of the popular trails and will go around the volcano, the guide will tell you everything you need to know about it and the history it made.
The day has come to its end and what a perfect way to finish than soaking at the natural hot springs of your choosing. A nice buffet dinner will be served when you are ready and will head back to the hotel at your convenient time.
It has been a wonderful day and still, there is so much more to explore!
Each 4in1 combo tour is considered to be a full day, will begin by 7am to pick up from the different hotels to be able to get started by 8am, after all activities and lunch has been completed successfully you will enter the hot springs of your chosen to relax, have a nice dinner and stay there as long as needed until 10pm which is the time most hot springs resort will close.
Since this is a full day trip, we recommend you have a nice breakfast at the hotel, often while on tours some snacks, fruits, water will be provided, also a delicious Costa Rican lunch after the second activity and to end up a great dinner is also included at the hot springs resort.
Sure they can! Everyone can have a great time at the hanging bridges and at the waterfall, although we believe is more enjoyable for kids 4 years old and over. It may seem like a very long, exhausting day, but there is plenty of time to relax in between tours and at the end of the day.
Hiking shoes or sneakers will be ideal for the hikes as well as comfortable clothes: shorts, t-shirts, tank tops. A change of shoes and clothes may be also required if you plan to go for a swim to the refreshing waterfall! Don't forget a bathing suit, there will be changing rooms before starting the hike down to the waterfall if needed or after the hike and at the hot springs resort. Bring also mosquito repellent and sunscreen and a raincoat in case of an usual rainshower.
Not entirely, the walk on the bridges is soft and goes at an easy pace so you can learn and see as much as possible of our rainforest. The length of the tour on the longest trail is of 3.2 kilometers (2 miles) and lasts 2 to 2,5 hours to complete. The same will apply when visiting the volcano national park. The hike to the waterfall though is a hike down on steep stairs, 520 stairs to be precise and then back up. Is worth the adventure, kids and people of all ages can do it. You can make it slowly at your own pace and enjoy the views, usually takes 20 minutes on the way down and 25 on the way up. We do not recommend the visit to the waterfall to the ones with hip or knee problems, but if you have any of these conditions and wish to be part of the tour you can remain at the main facilities of the waterfall park where there is an observatory, restrooms and a nice restaurant so you can enjoy of a drink or two. The safari float is a nice, relaxing time seating on the raft and the chocolate tour is a short walk.


When you need to start talking about assisted living with your elderly mother, you may not know where to begin. Perhaps in the past you tried to discuss various senior care options, including the prospect of moving into assisted living, but she was adamantly opposed to that and it started an argument. The last thing you want right now is to get into another contentious debate about the benefits this type of decision can have for her.
When trying to discuss something as important and potentially divisive as assisted living with an elderly parent or other loved one, make sure you focus on the positive aspects of it. Don't necessarily focus on assisted living or a particular facility, but the things your mother may be able to do in the future, if she chooses this as her living situation.
For example, she may feel lonely and isolated. She may not be able to visit many friends all that often because she doesn't drive, they don't live very close to her, or some other factors.
If you focus on friendships, reconnecting with friends, and being able to make new friends, that's a positive thing for most people. Talk about things she may be missing in a way that helps her realize she could get back to this, if she only made a different decision.
Next, once you got her thinking about the positive things she could be enjoying in life, without mentioning assisted living upfront, focus on the challenges she's facing at the moment. These challenges can be physical, emotional, or mental.
Challenges make daily living more complicated. She may not want to talk about them, but she is fully aware of them. As a result, she will more than likely begin to put two and two together.
She will see the challenges she's facing daily as a key reason why she can't enjoy the positive aspects of life and is missing out on right now. This is when you begin discussing assisted living.
Keep focusing on those positive reinforcements and how the challenges can feel much less overwhelming, if she only had the right living environment around her. It may be a difficult road, and your mother has every right to determine the course of her life, but when you focus on the positives and how she can overcome those challenges more easily, she may be more open to discuss the prospect of making a move to assisted living.

260 U.S. 490 - Osaka Shosen Kaisha v. Pacific Export Lumber Co the Saigon Maru
260 US 490 Osaka Shosen Kaisha v. Pacific Export Lumber Co the Saigon Maru
67 L.Ed. 364
OSAKA SHOSEN KAISHA et al.
PACIFIC EXPORT LUMBER CO. THE SAIGON MARU.
Submitted Nov. 23, 1922.
Decided Jan. 2, 1923.
Mr. Wm. H. Hayden, of Tacoma, Wash., Mr. Wm. H. Hayden, of Tacoma, Wash., for petitioners.
Mr. Erskine Wood, of Portland, Or., for respondent.
[Argument of Counsel from pages 491-494 intentionally omitted]
Mr. Justice McREYNOLDS delivered the opinion of the Court.
March 19, 1917, through its agent at Tacoma, Wash., Osaka Shosen Kaisha, incorporated under the laws of Japan and owner of the Japanese steamer Saigon Maru, then at Singapore, chartered the whole of that vessel, including her deck, to respondent Lumber Company to carry a full cargo of lumber from the Columbia or Willamette river to Bombay. In May, 1917, the vessel began to load at Portland, Or. Having taken on a full under-deck cargo and 241,559 feet upon the deck, the captain refused to accept more. After insisting that the vessel was not loaded to capacity and ineffectively demanding that she receive an additional 508,441 feet, respondent libeled her, setting up the charter party and the captain's refusal, and claimed substantial damages. The owner gave bond; the vessel departed and safely delivered her cargo.
The Lumber Company maintains that it suffered material loss by the ship's refusal to accept a full load; that she is liable therefor under the general admiralty law and also under the Oregon statute (Olson's Laws of Oregon, § 10281), which declares every vessel navigating the waters of the state shall be subject to a lien for the damages resulting from nonperformance of affreightment contracts.
Petitioner excepted to the libel upon the ground that the facts alleged showed no lien or right to proceed in rem. The trial court ruled otherwise and awarded damages upon the evidence. The Saigon Maru (D. C.) 267 Fed. 881. The Circuit Court of Appeals approved this action. 272 Fed. 799.
Little need be written of the claim under the state statute. The rights and liabilities of the parties depend upon general rules of maritime law not subject to material alterations by state enactments. The Roanoke, 189 U. S. 185, 23 Sup. Ct. 491, 47 L. Ed. 770; Southern Pacific Co. v. Jensen, 244 U. S. 205, 37 Sup. Ct. 524, 61 L. Ed. 1086, L. R. A. 1918C, 451, Ann. Cas. 1917E, 900; Union Fish Co. v. Erickson, 248 U. S. 308, 39 Sup. Ct. 112, 63 L. Ed. 261.
Both courts below acted upon the view that while the ship is not liable in rem for breaches of an affreightment contract so long as it remains wholly executory, she becomes liable therefor whenever she partly executes it, as by taking on board some part of the cargo. In support of this view, it is said: Early decisions of our circuit and district courts held that under maritime law the ship is liable in rem for any breach of a contract of affreightment with owner or master. That The Freeman (1856) 18 How. 182, 188, 15 L. Ed. 341, and The Yankee Blade (1857) 19 How. 82, 89, 90, 91, 15 L. Ed. 554, modified this doctrine by denying such liability where the contract remains purely executory, but left it in full force where the vessel has partly performed the agreement, as by accepting part of the indicated cargo. The Hermitage, 12 Fed. Cas. 27, No. 6,410; The Williams, 29 Fed. Cas. 1342, No. 17,710; The Ira Chaffee (C. C.) 2 Fed. 401; The Director (D. C.) 26 Fed. 708; The Starlight (C. C.) 42 Fed. 167; The Oscoda (D. C.) 66 Fed. 347; The Helios (D. C.) 108 Fed. 279; The Oceano (D. C.) 148 Fed. 131; Wilson v. Peninsula Bark & Lumber Co., 188 Fed. 52, 110 C. C. A. 190, were cited.
We think the argument is unsound.
Prior to The Freeman and The Yankee Blade, this court had expressed no opinion on the subject; but, so far as the reports show, the lower courts had generally asserted liability of the ship for breaches of affreightment contracts. 'It is grounded upon the authority of the master to contract for the employment of the vessel, and upon the general doctrine of the maritime law, that the vessel is bodily answerable for such contracts of the master made for her benefit.' The Flash, 1 Abbott, 67, 70, Fed. Cas. No. 4,857; The Rebecca, 1 Ware, 188, Fed. Cas. No. 11,619; The Ira Chaffee, supra. Since 1857, some of the lower courts have said that the ship becomes liable for breaches of affreightment contracts with her owner or master whenever partly executed by her; but it is forcibly maintained that in none of the cases was the point directly involved. The Hermitage, The Williams, The Ira Chaffee, The Director, The Starlight, The Oscoda, The Helios, The Oceano, and Wilson v. Peninsula Bark & Lumber Co., supra.
The Freeman and The Yankee Blade distinctly rejected the theory of the earlier opinions. They are inconsistent with the doctrine that partial performance may create a privilege or lien upon the vessel. And in so far as the lower courts express approval of this doctrine in their more recent opinions, they fail properly to interpret what has been said here.
While, perhaps, not essential to the decision, this court, through Mr. Justice Curtis, said in The Freeman:
'Under the maritime law of the United States the vessel is bound to the cargo, and the cargo to the vessel, for the performance of a contract of affreightment; but the law creates no lien on a vessel as a security for the performance of a contract to transport cargo, until some lawful contract of affreightment is made, and a cargo shipped under it.'
In The Yankee Blade, Mr. Justice Grier, speaking for the court, declared:'The maritime 'privilege' or lien is adopted from the civil law, and imports a tacit hypothecation of the subject of it. It is a 'jus in re,' without actual possession or any right of possession. It accompanies the property into the hands of a bona fide purchaser. It can be executed and divested only by a proceeding in rem. This sort of proceeding against personal property is unknown to the common law, and is peculiar to the process of courts of admiralty. The foreign and other attachments of property in the state courts, though by analogy loosely termed proceedings in rem, are evidently not within the category. But this privilege or lien, though adhering to the vessel, is a secret one; it may operate to the prejudice of general creditors and purchasers without notice; it is therefore 'stricti juris,' and cannot be extended by construction, analogy, or inference. 'Analogy,' says Pardessus (Droit Civ. vol. 3, 597), 'cannot afford a decisive argument, because privileges are of strict right. They are an exception to the rule by which all creditors have equal rights in the property of their debtor, and an exception should be declared and described in express words; we cannot arrive at it by reasoning from one case to another.' * * *
'Now, it is a doctrine not to be found in any treatise on maritime law that every contract by the owner or master of a vessel, for the future employment of it, hypothecates the vessel for its performance. This lien or privilege is founded on the rule of maritime law as stated by Cleirac (597): 'Le batel est obligee a la marchandise et la marchandise au batel.' The obligation is mutual and reciprocal. The merchandise is bound or hypothecated to the vessel for freight and charges (unless released by the covenants of the charter party), and the vessel to the cargo. The bill of lading usually sets forth the terms of the contract, and shows the duty assumed by the vessel. Where there is a charter party, its covenants will define the duties imposed on the ship. Hence it is said (1 Valin, Ordon. de Mar. b. 3, tit. 1, art. 11) that 'the ship, with her tackle, the freight, and the cargo, are respectively bound (affectee) by the covenants of the charter party.' But this duty of the vessel, to the performance of which the law binds her by hypothecation, is to deliver the cargo at the time and place stipulated in the bill of lading or charter party, without injury or deterioration. If the cargo be not placed on board, it is not bound to the vessel, and the vessel cannot be in default for the nondelivery, in good order, of goods never received on board. Consequently, if the master or owner refuses to perform his contract, or for any other reason the ship does not receive cargo and depart on her voyage according to contract, the charterer has no privilege or maritime lien on the ship for such breach of the contract by the owners, but must resort to his personal action for damages, as in other cases. * * * 'And this court has decided, in the case of The Schooner Freeman v. Buckingham, 18 How. 188, 15 L. Ed. 341, that the law creates no lien on a vessel as a security for the performance of a contract to transport cargo, until some lawful contract of affreightment is made, and a cargo shipped under it."
In Bulkley, Claimant of the Barque Edwin v. Naumkeag Steam Cotton Co., 24 How, 386, 393 (16 L. Ed. 599), the barque was libeled to recover damages for not delivering part of the cotton 707 bales—which the master had agreed to carry from Mobile to Boston. With most of the cargo on board the vessel was towed below the bar, there to receive the remainder from lighters. A lighter carrying 100 bales sank, and the cotton was lost or damaged. The barque delivered 607 bales at Boston in good condition. The owner of the vessel claimed exemption for her upon the ground that she never received the 100 bales. This court said:
'In the present case the cargo was delivered in pursuance of the contract, the goods in the custody of the master, and subject to his lien for freight, as effectually as if they had been upon the deck of the ship, the contract confessedly binding both the owner and the shipper; and, unless it be held that the latter is entitled to his lien upon the vessel also, he is deprived of one of the privileges of the contract, when, at the same time, the owner is in the full enjoyment of all those belonging to his side of it.'
Later opinions approve the same general rule.
'The doctrine that the obligation between ship and cargo is mutual and reciprocal, and does not attach until the cargo is on board, or in the custody of the master, has been so often discussed and so long settled, that it would be useless labor to restate it, or the principles which lie at its foundation. The case of the Schooner Freeman v. Buckingham, decided by this court, is decisive of this case.' The Lady Franklin, 8 Wall. 325, 329 (19 L. Ed. 455).
'It is a principle of maritime law that the owner of the cargo has a lien on the vessel for any injury he may sustain by the fault of the vessel or the master; but the law creates no lien on a vessel as a security for the performance of a contract to transport a cargo until some lawful contract of affreightment is made, and the cargo to which it relates has been delivered to the custody of the master or some one authorized to receive it.' The Keokuk, 9 Wall. 517, 519 (19 L. Ed. 744).
The maritime privilege or lien, though adhering to the vessel, is a secret one which may operate to the prejudice of general creditors and purchasers without notice and is therefore stricti juris and cannot be extended by construction, analogy or inference. The Yankee Blade, supra. The contract of affreightment itself creates no lien, and this court has consistently declared that the obligation between ship and cargo is mutual and reciprocal and does not attach until the cargo is on board or in the master's custody. We think the lien created by the law must be mutual and reciprocal; the lien of the cargo owner upon the ship is limited by the corresponding and reciprocal rights of the shipowner upon the cargo. See The Thomas P. Sheldon (D. C.) 113 Fed. 779, 782, 783.
The theory that partial acceptance of the designated cargo under a contract of affreightment creates a privilege of lien upon the ship for damages resulting from failure to take all, is inconsistent with the opinions of this court and, we think, without support of adequate authority. In The S. L. Watson, 118 Fed. 945, 952, 55 C. C. A. 439, 446, the court well said:
'The rule of admiralty, as always stated, is that the cargo is bound to the ship and the ship to the cargo. Whatever cases may have been decided otherwise disregarded the universal fact that no lien arises in admiralty except in connection with some visible occurence relating to the vessel or cargo or to a person injured. This is necessary in order that innocent parties dealing with vessels may not be the losers by secret liens, the existence of which they have no possibility of detecting by any relation to any visible fact. It is in harmony with this rule that no lien lies in behalf of a vessel against her cargo for dead freight, or against a vessel for supplies contracted for, but not actually put aboard. The Kiersage, 2 Curt. 421, Fed. Cas. No. 7,762; Pars. Ship. & Adm. (1869) 142, 143. It follows out the same principle that Mr. Justice Curtis states in The Kiersage, 2 Curt. 424, Fed. Cas. No. 7,762, that admiralty liens are stricti juris, and that they cannot be extended argumentatively, or by analogy or inference. He says: 'They must be given by the law itself, and the case must be found described in the law."

Over the last 18 months, many people believed that the only reason the real estate market was slowing down was the election period and the wait and see attitude of buyers and investors. A year has passed since, it is also nine months since the 'hand shake', which officially marked the end of the election period and reality is presenting a different version of the story.
This might not be the one that desperate property investors would like to hear but it seems that it is the one that applies.
Real estate market in Kenya is not sustainable at these levels of pricing or these types of properties that developers and investors had preferred over the last ten years. The huge expectations for a boom after the election period are now fading out as one report after the other shows that the market is slowing down after a small rebound during the first quarter of 2018, which was not as strong as initially expected anyway.
According to the latest house price index report, released in September 2018 from the Kenya Banker's Association, there was a 1.76% overall increase in house prices during the second quarter of 2018. This represents a marginal decline from the previous quarter's 2.08% increase, reflecting a sense of price stabilization and therefore non-sustenance of the surge seen in the first quarter.
The report stated that the houses on offer in the market during the quarter represented a fairly equitable distribution amongst apartments, bungalows and maisonettes, albeit with apartments taking the bigger share. In quarter two of 2018, apartments accounted for 37.78% of the total units offered in the market as per the data used for analysis. Bungalows accounted for 33.33% with maisonettes accounting for the remaining 28.89% of the total units sold as per the data used for this analysis.
The state has offered incentives to facilitate the private sector in low income housing, including reducing the corporation tax and scrapping levies charged by the National Construction Authority.
Unlike in the previous quarters where the lower market segment has been active compared to the middle and upper segment, the market activity seemed to have been fairly uniform in all market segments. The biases posted in the earlier analysis where the market favors one segment at the expense of the other seems to have been fairly muted in the second quarter of 2018.
The recovery recorded in the quarter of 2018 came in the wake of strained market conditions after a series of lower rate in price growth for five consecutive quarters from the fourth quarter of 2016. This dismal trend was attributed to various factors, including shrinking private sector credit growth and market anxiety as well as political instability that preceded the 2017 General Election. The sharp increase in quarter one was considered a reprieve associated with transactions from previous quarters that were put on hold due to market anxiety and lower lending risk appetite after the rate cap.
In order to understand what is really happening in the real estate sector a bit more, we need to analyze market data. Apart from the market dynamics, loan market performance is also key to the future of real estate and its sustainability.
According to the annual report released by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) the last week of August 2018, personal loan borrowers and traders defaulted on Sh121.4 billion debt in the year, accounting for 45.89 per cent of the industry total.
The CBK data paints a picture of households and small traders who are taking loans that they are unable to service. This has caused a sharp rise of the number of properties going under the hammer or businesses crippled by mounting debt. Things are getting worse and the auctions are more compared to last year. The situation had been compounded by lack of buyers for property belonging to distressed borrowers being put up for sale by the auctioneers. According to auctioneers, the irony is that there are no buyers even for the property being put up for auction.
As per available data, real estate non-performing loans (NPL) account for almost Sh40 billion, representing a 14.3% share of the total NPL's in the country. The number is increasing day after day marking a new ERA for the real estate sector.
Close to 21% of non-performing loans were in the real estate, building and construction sector according to CBK available data.
Cement uptake in six months to June 30 fell 7.9%, signaling a slowdown in the property market, which started last year in the wake of the General Election jitters.
Data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) indicate cement consumption in the first six months of the year stood at less than 2.75 million tons, down from 2.98 million in 2017.
Consumption hit a four-year low after rising to a peak of 3.1 million tons in 2016 at the height of construction of the first phase of the standard gauge railway (SGR), Kenya's single largest post-independence infrastructure project.
Cement firms also reduced production during the period to 2.84 million metric tons from 3.18 million metric tons a year ago. Bamburi reported a 66.50% dip in net profit for the year ended December to Sh1.97 billion, while ARM Cement's loss widened 133.9% to Sh6.54 billion.
Production of galvanized iron sheets also went down by 6,500 tons to 111,562 metric tons, the data shows. The volume of construction material imports such as iron, steel bars and rods declined by 4.9% during the first quarter of 2018.
The value of building plans approved in Nairobi County decreased to Sh60.11 billion in the first quarter of 2018 compared to Sh61.72 billion in the first quarter of 2017. The decrease in production and consumption of cement, as well as building plans, clearly mark that the construction sector is slowing down , while the current oversupply in the market and low transactions have made developers hesitate to commence new-builds.
The KBA-HPI indicates that the increase should be considered in the context of being a reprieve, because the rise could be associated with transactions from previous quarters that were put on hold due to market anxiety and lower lending risk appetite following the enactment of the Banking (Amendment) Act 2016.
Prime residential prices improved by 0.4% in the first half of 2018 compared to a 1.8% decline in the second half of 2017. Prime residential rents also improved marginally within the same period by 0.33%, having remained unchanged in the second half of 2017. The increase in prime residential prices and rents is attributed to an improved political climate and the thawing of the wait-and-see attitude among buyers and occupiers. This trend is expected to continue into the second half, with transactions only occurring where landlords and sellers are willing to negotiate with potential tenants and buyers, particularly in areas currently experiencing oversupply such as Karen.
On the positive side, the state has offered incentives to facilitate the private sector in low income housing, including reducing the corporation tax and scrapping levies charged by the National Construction Authority (NCA) and the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA); and redeveloping high-rise buildings in areas with large populations such as Eastlands.
In line with the State's plan to provide affordable housing, the government has proposed to set up the National Housing Development Fund (NHDF) under the proposed Housing Bill. In April, the government incorporated a mortgage liquidity facility named the Kenya Mortgage Refinancing Company (KMRC), to be launched in February 2019. It will provide secure long-term funding to mortgage lenders, which is expected to subsequently boost the availability and affordability of mortgage loans to Kenyans.
This will be achieved by financing commercial banks and Saccos to enable them offer affordable home loans to low-income earners. KMRC will have an initial capital of Sh1.5 billion, 20% of it from the government and 80% generated from local lenders. Additional funding is also being considered from international financiers such as the World Bank. KMRC is expected to facilitate commercial banks and SACCOs to issue 50,000 additional mortgages by 2023. The affordable housing initiative is expected to result in a 'housing multiplier effect' and benefit the entire economy.
This, hopefully, will change the preferences of investors who have been focusing only on high-end properties, creating an oversupply to the sector while there is a huge demand for affordable housing in the country.
As we approach the end of 2018, we note the stabilized economy after the election period and therefore nothing much to expect in terms of creating further positive changes in the market trend. All available data, reports and market observations converge towards the fact that the property market has entered a recession period after an amazing 10 years of growth.
It is a fact that nothing is absolute and anything might happen in the forthcoming months, which could trigger a new trend. In the meantime, investors, sellers, buyers and anyone involved in the industry should be very careful and follow up with the market trend, be realistic and try to make rational decisions rather than having surrealistic hopes and expectations that could increase risk exposure and cause further losses.

Running a quiz?

Celtic Nations 2015: day 1
April 26, 2015 in Celtics, Quizzes
Gareth Kingston welcomes us to the individual quiz.
Day 1 of the 2015 Celtic Nations kicked off at 10am and, from then until after 9pm, was full of quizzing. Personally, it also contained some major disappointments, along with minor triumphs for yours truly.
The day began with the first set of international matches. These featured the hosts taking on the defending champions Scotland. As I mentioned yesterday, the way the event works is that for each of the international matches the nation not taking part is in charge of the questions. Myself and Lorcan Duff wrote this first set of questions (I'll upload them later, if you'd like to give them a go). I took charge of the A match, featuring the like of Anne Hegarty (from The Chase) and 2014 Brain of Britain champion Mark Grant, whilst some of my team mates hosted the B, C and even an informal 'D' match. I'm glad to say the feedback on our questions was very positive (even the ones which were deemed "a bit hard" for this august group!). In the A room, Wales got off to a terrible start and never could catch up; Scotland ended up winning by 10 points.
Straight after this match everyone was in action in the weekend's individual event. This saw us all taking on a 100-question paper over 75 minutes. The questions were good, hard, as one would experience at the EQC itself. To be honest though, I felt the 75 minutes was a tad long. You know what you know. At the end, Mark Grant successfully defended his title, comfortably so, as his 79 points total was nine ahead of Scotland's Rob Hannah. Ireland's Mark Henry has been in great form in the Hot 100 lately and he carried this in to the individual quiz, emerging at the top Irish player on 67, which was good enough for fourth overall. Our new player Hugh Brady had a terrific debut: his score of 62 saw him finish in ninth, just two points behind Dave McBryan and one behind Lorcan. The top eight players from each nation contibuted points to the overal competition, based on where they finished. My own 52 points was only good for 21st in the room but it did see me contributing some points to this table.
Dan, with his winning team.
After a break for lunch, the championship was parked for an hour or so, as we all took part in an adhoc team quiz. The teams for this were created from the final standings in the individual and it made for a competitive event. Whilst some of the teams had four players, most had three. I was paired off with my team mate David Lea and Alan Morgan of Wales. We were in touch right through until the final two rounds before eventually fading and finishing joint-fourth. Ireland's Dan O'Malley was on the winning team however, alongside the already-mentioned Ms Hegarty and Scotland's Michael Clark. They each received a mug – the standard prize for everything this weekend!
Ireland's teams for the pairs event were: myself and Lorcan, Mark and Kevin Jones, Derek Cray and John Groarke, Dave L. and Hugh, Dave McB. and Dan, Karen Crofton and Paul Philpot. This was a tough quiz. Divided in to five rounds of 20, round one saw myself and Lorcan score a not-so-magnificent nine! We steadily improved, I'm glad to say, eventually scoring a frankly amazing 17 in the final round. Cue old GAA cliche: we didn't want the game to end. 🙂 Anyway, our storming finish saw us jump right up the standings, finishing fifth overall and the top Irish pair – albeit just one point ahead of Mark and Kevin. Again, the finishing positions in this event contributed points to the overall table.
Ireland finally got to take to 'the field' in an international match at 6pm. The less said about my B team's performance in our match against Scotland, the better. Myself, Mark, Hugh and Dan were very much in touch against a powerhouse team of Anne H., Andy Tucker, Ross Goodwin and 2015 Mastermind champion Marianne Fairthorne until the half-way point. Then, a misjudged category selection by ourselves – in which we were asked to identify a selection of French monarchs who died whilst taking part in sporting events – saw the wheels come off the wagon. We collapsed to a 20-point-defeat.
For the subsequent match against Wales, Kevin Jones came down from the A team (who had, alas, also been defeated, by 11 points) with Mark taking his place at the top table. We took on David Edwards, Ewan Thomas, Sean O'Neill and Gareth Aubrey. During my last appearance at the Celtics two years ago, I was on the wrong end of a one-point defeat to Wales in an A team match. I'm not going to sugarcoat this but I'm afraid the exact same thing happened again. 🙁 We lead for the entire match this time. Indeed we were 11 points ahead with just two categories remaining. Unfortunately we chose badly and ended up facing questions on members of the raccoon family. Wales pinched two of these from us (worth three points each) and then scored two out of three in their own final category, about Greek paradoxes. An 11 point lead became a 45-44 loss in the blink of an eye. Even the losing bonus points this narrow margin gave us didn't soften this particular blow.
There was some great news from the A game though. Mark turned out to be what the top team needed as he, alongside the two Daves and Lorcan helped Ireland to its first ever win in a top class international match! They too had a bit of a scary finish but, luckily for them, had already been 17 points ahead going in to the final pair of categories.
Just before the start of the 15-to-1 final, with my "neighbour" Michael Clark.
Back to myself and, thankfully, one doesn't get too long to wallow in self pity around here. 20 minutes later we all lined up for the qualifying round in the 15-to-1 event. As there were three semi-finals, the goal in this round was to finish (or survive, more accurately) in the top five and thus qualify for the final. I drew #1 in the semi-final but thankfully survived what felt like a very obvious location to make it to the big match itself! I was joined in final by my fellow Irish players Dave L., Dave McB (who has some history in 15-to-1, of course) and Kevin.
In the final, I drew #10. Again, I'll kill the suspense right off and reveal that I didn't win. However, I did survive until there were only about seven left, eventually being defeated by questions on some of the lesser-known United Arab Emirates… and Taylor Swift. The final three in the event were Scottish pair Michael Clark and Iam Thoms, alongside Wales captain (and chief organiser of the event) Gareth Kingston. Michael had been my neighbour in the final (he was #9) and I was delighted to see him emerge as the winner at the very end.
The official quizzing drew to an end at this point. Well, it was something like 9.30pm at this point! After a badly-needed fuelling stop (involving a very expensive burger) I was good to go for some of the informal events. Strangely though, I ended up not quizzing at all. Instead, along with about 15 others, I spent the next 2.5 hours playing a game of Cards against Humanity, organised by my team-mate Karen.
And that was that. Quite the day. Here's today timetable:
10am – 11am Ireland v Scotland A, B, C
11am – 12pm Ireland v Wales A, B, C
12pm – 1pm Scotland v Wales A, B, C
1pm – 2pm Prizegiving for A/B/C events
Scotland are miles ahead in the overal championship. We though do stand a great chance of not finishing last, something we have unfortunately done for the past two years.

Rodriguez hangs onto lead as Kessiakoff wins time trial
Fredrik Kessiakoff, stage winner, Vuelta a Espana 2012, stage 11 time trial
Joaquin Rodriguez (Katusha) clung onto his overall lead in the Vuelta a España by just one second after finishing seventh in today's time trial between Cambados-Pontevedra.
Swede Fredrik Kessiakoff (Astana) was the surprise winner of the stage, 17 seconds ahead of Alberto Contador (Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank).
Britain's Chris Froome (Team Sky) was third a further 22 second further behind Contador. Having started the day in second overall seven seconds ahead of Contador, he consequently slipped a place in the general classification.
The emergence of the climber and former mountain biker turned Kessiakoff at the head of affairs was perhaps indicative of the importance of the third category climb that featured midway through the stage.
10km long and starting from near sea level to ascend almost all of it's 490m altitude, it was by far the most significant section of the 39.4km course which zig-zagged it's way across a corner of the Galician countryside between the coast and an estuary.
Although Contador was quicker through the first time check at 13.5km, it was the Swede who put in a more consistent ride.
He was fastest through the second check on top of the climb and extended his margin further on the wooded descent and finale through the finish town's streets.
"I've been thinking about this stage for a few days," he explained after the stage. "I came here ready to suffer."
Given his time trial results of late, Froome -riding in the white skinsuit of leader of the combined competition- might have expected to move into the lead today.
While he looked somewhat tired on the bike, immediate rivals Contador, Rodriguez and Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) enjoyed relatively good rides.
Nonetheless, if Froome failed to seize an expected advantage from this stage, it remains tight at the top and there will be plenty of other opportunities over the remaining week and a half.
The first of these possibly comes tomorrow with a savage but short uphill finish high above the Atlantic Ocean.
If, at 2km, that proves more to Rodriguez's liking, an onslaught of four more mountainous days start on Saturday.

Authorities have arrested a suspect in a fatal hit-and-run crash in 2017 that claimed the life of a bicyclist.
Huff is accused of striking bicyclist Kevin Frick, 54, with his car on Sept. 6, 2017, as Frick wascrossing North Ninth Avenue and Creighton Road by bicycle.
Frick was traveling east on Creighton Road and crossed behind Huff's car, which was in the left turn lane, according to authorities. Police said at the time of the crash that Frick was struck by the car, which had been traveling north on Ninth Avenue.
Earlier this week, a witness helped lead police to Huff, said Mike Wood, spokesman for the Pensacola Police Department.
"We obtained a witness that put us on to the vehicle," he said.
Once investigators located the vehicle allegedly involved in the crash, they managed to gather forensic evidence that provided enough probable cause to obtain a warrant for Huff's arrest, according to Wood.


Factors that can increase the risk of getting a yeast infection are pregnancy, stress, chronic health conditions, diabetes, use of oral contraceptives, steroids and antibiotics. Women can also get yeast infections after menopause due to declining estrogen levels, which thin the vaginal walls. Most men and women suffer from a yeast infection at least once.
Boric acid is a chemical substance with mild antiseptic, antifungal and antiviral properties. Boric acid is not recommended for pregnant women.
Dilute some boric acid with water. Apply the diluted solution over the affected skin area and leave it on for a few minutes. Then rinse the area thoroughly with water. Do this daily for two weeks.
As a treatment option for vaginal yeast infections, you can take boric acid capsules.
Because boric acid can be toxic, it should not be taken internally or used for a prolonged period of time.
The most effective treatment favours restoring long-term healthy flora balance over short-term symptomatic relief.
Your nutrition habits are an important component of your treatment plan. Yeast feeds on particular foods, so avoiding them will help with long-term relief. These foods should be eliminated for a period of four to twelve weeks. However, if you experience a flare-up of symptoms upon reintroduction of these foods, you should extend your candida diet.
Limit these higher-carbohydrate foods to one serving maximum per day: sweet potatoes, white potatoes, parsnips, and cooked carrots.
Sweeteners: Stevia is a herbal sweetener. It is the only sweetener that Candida does not feed on, and therefore can be used freely.
Condiments and oils: Braggs amino acids (non-fermented wheat-free soy sauce), hummus, tahini and raw nut butters, garlic, lemon, onion, dulse (as a salt alternative), any dried herb or fresh herb, ghee (clarified butter), and extra-virgin olive oil.


WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is hoping to counter Chinese efforts to bolster its economic influence in the Americas during his inaugural trip to Latin America next week amid an escalating trade fight and his harsh rhetoric on immigration.
The White House said Thursday that Trump is set to attend the Summit of the Americas in Lima, Peru, and will travel to Bogota, Colombia, to promote good governance and democracy in the Western Hemisphere. The trip will bring the president face to face with the targets of some of his fiercest ire and follows his announcement that he will direct the deployment of National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border.
The deployment has sparked widespread outrage in Mexico, which had already been enraged by Trump's pledge to construct a border wall.
Trump is also set to face scrutiny over his recently announced tariffs on steel and aluminum — though exporters to the U.S. who will be in attendance have been granted temporary waivers.
Administration officials said no news is expected at the summit on the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement or any on new sanctions on the Venezuelan government. Trump will hold meetings with several regional partners, though the final roster was still being finalized. Trump will meet with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos in Bogota.
Trump is not expected to hold a meeting with Cuban leader Raul Castro, who will be attending the summit in one of his final acts before stepping down from office later this month.
As China has sought to make inroads in the region by funding infrastructure works and investing in businesses, the White House said Trump will argue that the U.S. should be the "partner of choice" for the region. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross will also travel to Lima to participate in an associated summit for business leaders, the White House said.

This rare sword is from a small but well known group, best represented by the work of Italian (Ferrara) goldsmith Ercole dei Fedeli, four examples of which are illustrated in Armi Bianche Italiane, #293-298. All are dated 1505-10. They currently reside in museums in Paris, Vienna and Leningrad. Two are identified as from the Knights of Saint Peter and were given by Pope Julius to Maximillian I. As with the others, this example mounts a wide blade, 24" in length. It is narrow double fullered, of pattern welded steel struck with a maker's mark, a serpent, each side, at the forte. The iron hilt is of the form which distinguishes the group. The cross guard is two elegant ribbon form elements, tapered in section from top to bottom, with fine scrolling terminals, flanking the quillon block. The junction is defined by spirals on the front and a simpler rounded end on the back, an exceeding rare feature, as cruciform swords are invariable indistinguishable, one side from the other. The pommel is of the four lobed form specific to the group. The guard and pommel are inlaid in silver, now mostly lost, in curvilinear and helix designs. These designs and the flowing form of the guard are precursors of Mannerism art which infused movement, flow and drama into art. The forms seen here are not transitional as would be expected, but revolutionary, practically reinventing the sword hilt considering the context. That the Pope would present two to Maximillian attests to the esteem in which they were held who surely recognized their seminal place in the Mannerist movement. An exceedingly rare late Gothic sword.

Q: Ctrl-Alt-Del not working at unlock screen I am at work, and one of the machines running XP was left on overnight. This is a common occurrence. The machine went into standby mode, so on starting it up this morning I was presented with the Locked screen as usual. The usual sequence is:

*

*Hit Ctrl-Alt-Del

*Enter password for currently-logged-in user

Unfortunately, for whatever reason, Ctrl-Alt-Del is not working. I cannot get past the locked prompt. Nothing I do has any effect. In order to get some kind of response, I have tried:

*

*Ctrl-Alt-Del

*Ctrl-Shift-Esc

*Start-R

*F1
I know the keyboard is working, because the lights are responsive. Also, when I hit any non-function key (the Q or the 4, for example) I get the usual 'dum' sound that XP gives when you use a key that is not allowed to be used at this time.
I am aware that I could simply do a hard reboot, but I am worried that there might be an important document open that has not yet been saved, and I don't want someone to lose their work because of this. It's a shared machine, and the person who was using the computer yesterday is not here today, and so I cannot ask them what they were doing. However, given my past experience it is likely that there were many Excel documents open, not all of them properly saved.
It's hard to explain why, but this is not uncommon here. I'm aware that you should always save, but for various reasons it is not always possible where I work - people often have to run out at a moment's notice. Given that caveat, please refrain from pointing out the obvious - "If they didn't bother to save the work, then it's their own fault; just do a hard reboot!" I'm looking for an answer that will unlock the computer without rebooting it, if it is possible.

A: I found that using the on screen keyboard under the accessibility mode, will at least let you get past the place of logon not popping up. You could then make sure all is saved and do a hard start later.
That's what worked for me just now.

A: I had this issue not so long ago, if you are using an USB keyboard just switch to a ps2 port keyboard and it would work.

At Camp Highlander, we understand that you've trusted us with the most precious part of your life - your child - and that is why safety is our top priority.
Camp Highlander has maintained the highest standards of safety through our facilities, programs and qualified staff for more than 60 years.
In addition to the proactive approach we take toward the health and safety of our campers, we have a caring, qualified health care staff available to tend to the needs of your child while away from home. We have full-time registered nurses, working 24 hours a day, whose sole focus is the health of our campers and staff members. They administer daily medications and provide professional health care treatment for any camper or staff member who needs it.
Camp Highlander is only four miles from our on-call physician, eight miles from an urgent care facility and 15 miles from Pardee Memorial Hospital should an emergency situation arise.
All campers are required to have a health history form and a physician's examination completed prior to participation in camp activities. These forms must be completed and turned into our office by May 1st. Any changes to your child's health condition, medication, or insurance information after the form has been submitted should be given to the office so our records can be properly updated. Please visit Preparing For Camp for more information.
We require that all prescription and over-the-counter medication be packaged in blister packs or unit-dose packaging, which you can often arrange with your local pharmacy. If you are unable to do so, the camp office will mail blister packs to your home for $2 per pack. Please contact the camp office to order these.
This type of packaging prompts for the day and time of each dose. Parents are responsible for making sure campers arrive with their medicine properly packaged. Other medications such as liquids, inhalers, creams and ointments should also be individually labeled.
This medication packing program is required. This system is designed to standardize our medication procedure and improve the efficiency of disbursement. This allows our nurses to have more time to devote to the well-being of your child.
All camper and staff medication must be stored in the Health Hut during the summer. The Camp Highlander Health Hut stocks standard over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, antacids, antibiotic ointments, Cortaid, Band-Aids, etc… Therefore, it is not necessary to bring these medications/items to camp.
For any special needs (such as an allergy to bee stings), please speak with the nurse on opening day of the session to make arrangements. DO NOT MAIL MEDICATIONS OR PRESCRIPTIONS TO CAMP.
We offer our campers and staff a variety of delicious and nutritional food options at every meal. Many of our campers, however, have dietary restrictions due to health concerns and/or food allergies, and we are happy to oblige our campers and staff in every way possible. Whether it's peanuts, dairy, gluten or a highly-selective diet, our kitchen staff will gladly offer alternative options to meet the needs of all our campers and staff members. We simply ask that you contact our camp office prior to arriving at camp to discuss your child's dietary requirements and help us develop a plan to best serve them.
Preparing for Camp It can be overwhelming preparing for camp, especially for first timers. The pages in this section will help outline everything you need to know before arriving at camp.

We're always looking for useful tips to share with you and today we have some good ones about ESD Control. The folks over at ACL Staticide have taken the definitions of the ESD Association and created a list of Top Five Basic Rules for ESD Control.
Define the boundaries of the environment in which unprotected electrostatic sensitive devices will be present. This is the ESD protective area.
Define the sensitivity of devices to be handled in the ESD protective area.
Do not contaminate the area with unnecessary non-static controlled materials.
Establish a suitable static control program that both limits static generation to less than the damage threshold of the most sensitive device in the environment, and provides a safe, defined path for the dissipation of static charges.
Audit the ESD protective area regularly to ensure that static control is maintained. Document the findings for future reference.
Our ACL Staticide section includes many excellent products in a variety of categories including: ESD-Safe Cleaners, Bench Grounds, Static Neutralizers, and more. So, if you're looking for an ESD-Safe Floor Finish, an ESD Tester, or even an ESD-Safe Trash Can, visit QSource.com and find your ESD Control solutions.
And, as always, if you have further questions about any of these products, or about other ESD Control solutions, please feel free to call (800-966-6020) or email us and one of our expert associates will be happy to help you.

QSource.com's selection of North Safety products includes many ways to promote the safety of your employees. When it comes to hearing protection, we offer two main options from North Safety: earplugs and earmuffs.
The two most important factors to look for in hearing protection products are the noise reduction rating (NRR) and comfortable usage. The NRR is the maximum noise reduction, in decibels (dB), achieved from using that particular hearing protection item. The higher the dB number, the more noise that is being cancelled. To provide the customer with the most accurate ratings, North Safety tests its hearing protection products at independent, NVLAP-certified (National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program), third-party laboratories.
North Safety's DeciDamp2® Uncorded Earplugs offer an NRR of 29 dB and the North Safety Intruder Cap Mounted Earmuffs come in at a 24 dB NRR and both products were designed to be comfortable to wear. These impressive hearing protection products are powerful and inexpensive solutions for providing protection for your employees.
Please visit QSource.com to place your order, or if you'd like further information about these or other North Safety products, you can give us a call (800-966-6020) or send an email and one of our helpful experts will help you find the answers to your questions.
Structured cabling can be expensive and highly labor-intensive to install, yet it is a critical component to any business' operations. One of the most important steps in preserving this investment is properly identifying your infrastructure.
Like many companies, yours may be struggling with how to get started with cabling identification. Given the nuances of the industry and different preferences from installer to installer, there are a variety of options for identification solutions, from printers to label materials to software. How do you know what systems will work best for you?
Where will the printer be used?
How many labels will be needed—a few at a time or thousands in a day?
Where, and in what type of environments, will the labels be used?
What are the items that will need identification (patch panels, cables, cable bundles, etc.)?
Asking where a printer will be used helps narrow down whether the printer needs to be portable or stationary and how large it can be. For some large projects in the cabling industry, labels may be printed in the office or warehouse by a "label guru" and then taken to the job site. If a lower volume of labels is required, or labels are needed on the spot, printing them on-site with a portable printer proves to be the best option. When developing a printer for the structured cabling applications, Brady looks at where the device will be used along with what features are needed. From this, we strike a balance between form factor and functionality needs.
To increase long-term benefits, it's critical to also think about how adaptable you'll need the printer to be. One of the most powerful tools to make a printer adaptable is software. Label design features built into the software simplify the creation of complex labels. Optional software also lets users easily manage large amounts of data and create more detailed and complex labels.
At Brady, when our team is developing new materials, these are all essential questions to answer. Self-laminating and cloth labels are best for labeling curved surfaces (like cables and pipes), while polyester is best for flat surfaces, (like equipment and hardware identification). There also are a number of customer-requested specialty label materials that are ideal for unique applications (examples include glow-in-the-dark and reflective label materials). While these materials may not be necessary for every customer or project, they might meet requirements for certain projects where it is necessary for the label to be easily seen in the dark or in low-light situations.
For structured cabling projects, another aspect of adaptability is the printing network. Many companies want the ability to produce consistent, professional identification labels across multiple printing systems while also maintaining a clean and crisp look for their projects. If you will be using both large desktop printers and portable printers for a job, you want the labels to look consistent and seamless. Brady takes this into consideration so our latest portable printers offer the same variety of materials and label sizes as many of the desktop printers.
A special thank you to our guest blogger, Annie Ropella, from Brady Worldwide.

Brady Worldwide's (Brady) back with another member of their exciting portable printing family: The BMP®51 Label Maker. The BMP51 is innovative, fast, and compatible with an extensive choice of label materials.
The BMP51 features the same great specifications and label material choices as the BMP53 (plus 58 new label cartridges), but the BMP51 has a display screen and keyboard that help get the job done faster and even easier. So, although they're not quite identical twins, the BMP51 and BMP53 are definitely cousins that share many of the same powerful traits that run in the Brady portable printer family.
The first trait these portable thermal transfer printers share is the ability to help you work faster. The BMP51 prints at a speedy 1" per second. It also uses the hassle-free, top-loading, drop-in label cartridges with automatic label formatting that were new on the BMP53. The label cartridges can't be loaded incorrectly and with no manual calibration needed the user can get to printing right away.
As with the BMP53, the BMP51 Label Maker also has several connectivity options to help you print faster. USB and Bluetooth® are standard on the BMP51, and through optional Brady network cards the printer can be controlled through Ethernet or WiFi. Brady's FREE Android® Apps, Brady Mobile Electrical and Brady Mobile DataComm, work directly with the BMP51's built-in Bluetooth connectivity and allows users to wirelessly create, edit, print, and save labels via an Android device.
What distinguishes these two powerful printers is the BMP51's large, backlit display that shows exactly how the text and/or graphics will print. It also indicates battery level, remaining material, and more. And the built-in QWERTY keyboard helps users create labels quickly.
* For a limited time: When you purchase a BMP51 printer and register it online at BradyID.com you will receive a FREE Li-Ion Battery Pack (an $85 value).
With the release of the BMP51, Brady is also releasing 58 new label cartridges compatible with both the BMP51 and BMP53 bringing the total number of label cartridge options for both printers to more than 190. These cartridges all feature the same ribbon and label materials in one cartridge design, "No Jam" technology, and a locking mechanism that prevents labels from retracting back into the cartridge.
The BMP51, as with the BMP53, is a very versatile portable printer. Users can create, edit, and print a variety of label types via an impressive choice of creative options including Brady's FREE Mobile Apps and Brady's LabelMark 5 software.
Brady has made it easy to find a BMP51 portable printing solution to meet your exact needs. The standard printer ships with a hard carrying case, a battery tray for AA batteries, a USB Cable, a Drivers CD, a Product CD, the Quick Start Guide, and one MC-1500-595-WT-BK label cartridge. Options for the standard printer package include an AC adapter, rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack, and the LabelMark 5 software.
Each printer in Brady's portable printer family offers features to help the user print quicker and more conveniently. The BMP51 Label Maker does that and more and presents itself as the complete portable printing solution to meet most any needs.
QSource.com is once again your number one resource for Brady portable label printing. We have the complete line of Brady BMP51 printers, starter kits, cartridges, accessories, and even Brady's 360® Printer Replacement Plan, all available right now on our Web site.
