Gold Today –New York closed at $1,198.30 on the 13th January after closing at $1,195.40 on the 12th January. London opened at $1,202.25 today.
– The $: € was stronger at $1.0593: €1 from $1.0633: €1 Friday.
– The Dollar index was slightly stronger at 101.70 from 101.33 Friday.
– The Yen was stronger at 114.11: $1 from Friday's 114.70 against the dollar.
– The Yuan was weaker at 6.9082: $1, from 6.8873: $1, Friday.
– The Pound Sterling was weaker at $1.2056: £1 from Friday's $1.2168: £1.
Shanghai gold prices, having corrected on Friday, are, again, moving higher touching 270.1 Yuan or $1,211.1 in today's trading [using the same quality of gold]. It is always tempting to make prices simple to understand even if it means attributing any moves in the gold price to any handy piece of news locally. But that would be misleading. Chinese prices are rising because of Chinese market conditions, not because of Trump's latest tweet.
New York closed $11.34 lower than Shanghai on Friday. London opened at $3.85 lower than Shanghai was trading today.
LBMA price setting: The LBMA gold price setting was at $1,202.75 this morning against Friday's $1,196.35.
The gold price in the euro was set higher at €1,135.96 after yesterday's €1,123.54 as the dollar weakened.
Ahead of the opening of New York the gold price was trading at $1,203.30 and in the euro at €1,135.98. At the same time, the silver price was trading at $16.84.
Silver Today –Silver closed at $16.80 at New York's close Friday from $16.78 on the 12th January.
While Shanghai continues to drive gold prices higher, we can now see a change in attitude towards gold in the U.S. as in both the Gold Trust and the SPDR gold ETF we are now, once again, seeing good purchases of gold volumes [not huge].
U.S. buying will not drive U.S. prices, as the physical gold bought into these two ETFs happens in London, not New York. But as the price upward pressure from this buying joins with Shanghai' demand, we expect a shortage of gold in London to be exacerbated and take prices higher.
It is becoming clearer to all that President Trump will bring his deal-making business tactics to foreign policy, much to the objection of current foreign policy makers. This is well illustrated by his attitude to China and Taiwan. He has made it clear he wants something in return for keeping that policy. We suspect that China is now confident enough in its own global power to stand up to his attitude. But Trump, as we have seen in his campaign and books, will not back off. This has to lead to global tensions ballooning. This will be positive for gold.
We expect the 'ripples' from the ensuing pressures to be felt first in global trade, but more so in the currency world spreading to changes in the monetary system. Again, this is positive for gold and silver as, perhaps, U.S. gold ETF buying is indicating.
U.K. – The Pound Sterling fell below $1.20, before recovering a little ground, ahead of Prime Minister May's speech on Brexit due tomorrow. We understand this as it has given Britain a tremendous trade boost, as the Pound has fallen from around $1.50 since Britain voted to leave the E.U. And Brexit has not yet been triggered! In other words, the Pound continues to fall against gold!
The E.U.'s Draghi would only wish to see the same happen to the euro.
Gold ETFs – Friday, in New York, there were purchases of 2.964 tonnes into the SPDR gold ETF but no change in the Gold Trust holdings, leaving their respective holdings at 807.96 tonnes and 198.30 tonnes.
These purchases into the SPDR gold ETF are the first since the Fed raised interest rates and Trump was elected!
We did not think this would happen until President Trump was well settled in the White House. But as a sign that market attitudes are changing in the U.S. towards gold, the buying has begun in earnest. The first purchases happened last week into the Gold Trust.

Q: WLGeolocationPlugin.getLocation giving no answer on emulator or device Worklight 6.2.0.00-20120814-0824
Location code runs fine in Browser simulator but fails in Android emulator, neither success nor failure callbacks firing.
Logcat shows:
10-06 16:00:40.707: W/PluginManager(3193): THREAD WARNING: exec() call to WLGeolocationPlugin.getLocation blocked the main thread for 75ms. Plugin should use CordovaInterface.getThreadPool().
code:
var showPosition = function(position) {
        WL.Logger.debug("got a position");
        var latitude = Number(position.coords.latitude).toFixed(2);
        var longitude = Number(position.coords.longitude).toFixed(2);
        $("#currentLocation").text(latitude + " / " + longitude);

    };

    var positionError = function(err) {
        WL.Logger.debug("failed to get  a position");
        $("#status").text("position error" + err);

    };

    var geoPolicy = WL.Device.Geo.Profiles.RoughTracking(); // other profiles tried, same result

    WL.Device.Geo.acquirePosition(showPosition, positionError, geoPolicy);

Android manifest has
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS"/>

Before I added those I had different error conditions, indicating permissions errors, so I think permissions are now correct.
-------edited to add more info ----
I have deployed to a real Android device but still get no callbacks fired. I do see these messages in LogCat, indicating that Worklight is doing something with gps, but not providing answers so far as my code is concerned

A: The answer seems to be that I need to specify a maximumAge option
  var geoPolicy = WL.Device.Geo.Profiles.RoughTracking(); // other profiles tried, same result

  geoPolicy.maximumAge = 5000;

  WL.Device.Geo.acquirePosition(showPosition, positionError, geoPolicy);

The logs (shown above) indicate than an answer was obtained but discarded on the basis of its age. Seems like I need to specify maximumAge greater than the time taken to obtain a position.

Q: React-no-redux cant pass appstate through react-router Im trying to use React-No-Redux which is redux but without the redux package. i will put my code below because the issue im having is that i can access the props in my navbar which is outside the router but i cant access the appState from inside any of the components inside of my router.
AppState.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';

export default class AppState extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      test: 'hello im a test string'
    };
    this.setAppState = this.setAppState.bind(this);
}

setAppState(newState, callback) {
  this.setState(newState, callback);
}

render() {
  return (

    {React.Children.map(this.props.children, child => {
      return React.cloneElement(child, {
      appState: this.state,
      setAppState: this.setAppState
      });
    })}

  );
}
}

index.js
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import App from './App';
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Switch } from 'react-router-dom';
import registerServiceWorker from './registerServiceWorker';

import AppState from './AppState';
import StateConstants from './constants/stateConstants';
import Error404 from './views/errorPages/Error404';

ReactDOM.render(
  <Router>
    <AppState>
      <App
        setAppState={this.setAppState}
        appState={this.appState}
      />
    </AppState>
  </Router>
  ,
  document.getElementById('root')
);
registerServiceWorker();

App.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Switch } from 'react-router-dom';

import Error404 from './views/errorPages/Error404';
import Home from './views/pages/Home';
import Navbar from './partials/Navbar';

import './App.css';

class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return (

        <Navbar
          setAppState={this.props.setAppState}
          appState={this.props.appState}
        />
        <Switch>
          <Route exact path='/' component={Home} appState={this.props.appState} setAppState={this.props.setAppState} />
          <Route component={Error404} />
        </Switch>

    );
  }
}

export default App;

Navbar.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';

export default class Navbar extends Component {
  constructor(props){
    super(props);
    console.log(this.props);
  }

  render(){
    return (

Hello Navbar
</center

    );
}
}

Home.js the one it is erroring on it says cannot read property test of undefined
import React, { Component } from 'react';

export default class Home extends Component{
  constructor(props){
    super(props);
    console.log(this.props);
  }

  render(){
    return (

        {this.props.appState.test}

    );
  }

}

This should work as I have done it before and this is the exact same thing I did last time.

A: My bad the only thing that I did wrong was that i put component={} not render={}

Azimut have adopted techniques seen widely in the motor industry in developing a single one fits all approach. The VW group in the motor industry do this very well with models sharing the same floor plan but having different exterior design and brand badges. The 40s shares its hull and interior plan with its sibling the 38 flybridge that was launched at Southampton boat show in September, however in the technique mentioned early the exterior is redesigned top side to emphasis the S ranges sportier and sleeker styling .
Below are pictures of how Azimut adopted the same techniques on the 43S model in the recent past. The S range concept has given Azimut superb growth with 50 plus orders coming in the first year of the S range launch back in 2003 with the 68S and was a simple yet effective formula of offering the living and comfort of a flybridge boat in a more aggressive sportier looking and performance platform. The 40S comes with a luxury fitted twin cabin interior with huge view windows in all parts of this sport cruiser taken from its sibling the 38 flybridge. The 40s benefits from a slightly higher horsepower from its twin Cummins shaft driven engines that produce 480hp giving the 40s a 35 knot plus top speed. A final innovation feature of the 40S are the two solar panels integrated in the hard top which charge the batteries during day time without the need of an external generator or shore power.
Azimut have produced a successful cost saving innovation in adapting the flybridge and S range hull sharing to their production line that has attracted clients for both options in strong numbers.

Full-Time Senior Associate, Flood-Prepared Communities (Public Policy Campaigner)
The Pew Charitable Trusts – Posted by gcallirgos@pewtrusts.org – Washington, District of Columbia, United States
Full Job Title: Senior Associate, Flood-Prepared Communities
The Pew Charitable Trusts uses data to make a difference. For more than 70 years, we have focused on serving the public, invigorating civic life, conducting nonpartisan research, advancing effective public policies and practices, and achieving tangible results. Through rigorous inquiry and knowledge sharing, we inform and engage public-spirited citizens and organizations, linking diverse interests to pursue common cause. We are a dedicated team of researchers, communicators, advocates, subject matter experts, and professionals working on some of today's big challenges – and we know we are more effective and creative collectively than we are individually. With Philadelphia as our home town and the majority of our staff located in Washington, D.C., our U.S. and international staff find working at Pew personally and professionally rewarding.
Wise stewardship of resources allows Pew employees to pursue work that strategically furthers our mission in significant and measurable ways. We collaborate with a diverse range of philanthropic partners, public and private organizations, and concerned citizens who share our interest in fact-based solutions and goal-driven initiatives to improve society. Pew attracts top talent, people of integrity who are service-oriented and willing to take on challenging assignments. We provide competitive pay and benefits, a healthy work-life balance, and a respectful and inclusive workplace. Pew employees are proud of their colleagues, proud of where they work, and proud of the institution's reputation.
The Environmental Portfolio at The Pew Charitable Trusts
For more than 25 years, Pew has been a major force in engaging the public and policy makers about the causes, consequences, and solutions to some of the world's most pressing environmental challenges. Our environment work spans all seven continents with more than 250 professionals working at the local, national, and international levels to reduce the scope and severity of global environmental problems, such as the erosion of large natural ecosystems that contain a great part of the world's remaining biodiversity, and the destruction of the marine environment.
Pew has worked in the United States and Canada since 1990 to protect vast stretches of wilderness and more recently expanded our land conservation efforts to Australia's Outback and Chilean Patagonia. Safeguarding these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines and landscapes for current and future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economics to advocate for practical and durable solutions to the loss of biodiversity.
In the sea, reforms to how our oceans are managed are essential to address overfishing, pollution, and loss of habitat. Pew began its oceans program in the United States, focusing on ending overfishing and protecting fragile marine habitat. Starting in 2005, Pew's ocean conservation program expanded around the world and played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas and creating marine reserves around the world. Our work is grounded in the best available science and pursues domestic and international conservation measures that are long-term and provide permanent, durable protections for marine ecosystems.
Flood-Prepared Communities
Pew's flood-prepared communities initiative works to reduce the impact weather-related catastrophes, such as flood and hurricanes, have on the U.S. taxpayer, communities, and environment through four main policy areas:
Reforming of the National Flood Insurance Program;
Increasing federal investment in mitigation programs to help communities prepare for future floods;
Improving resiliency and durability requirements for new and rebuilt infrastructure in flood-prone areas; and
Promoting nature-based solutions like open green space, marshes and mangroves to better protect property and the environment.
The senior associate works closely with the manager and campaign staff to execute campaign related activities for Pew's flood-prepared communities initiative. The senior associate supports the federal policy advocacy components of the program through efforts involving writing legislation, web analysis, white papers, fact sheets, e-advocacy, state field materials, and official campaign materials. The senior associate coordinates internally with communications, government relations, and field staff on policy analysis and advocacy outreach, and, at times, works with external consultants and partners.
This position, based in Pew's Washington, D.C. office, reports to the manager, flood-prepared communities. The position has a set time frame that could be extended based on the success of the program, funding sources, and board decisions on continued support.
Track and analyze national flood policy efforts, including the latest policy developments and research, to inform and advance campaign priorities.
Develop outreach materials to support government relations, communications and grassroots activities.
Draft campaign content such as web analysis, fact sheets, and e-advocacy materials for public distribution.
Identify opportunities for the campaign to publicize research materials such as educational briefings, events, conferences, publications, etc.
Represent the campaign to external stakeholders and coalition groups.
Work with external partners to manage advocacy strategies on behalf of the campaign.
Work with Pew's field operations to strategically deploy advocacy materials.
Manage e-advocacy outreach and strategy.
Edit and fact-check campaign materials; ensure accuracy of content, facts and data.
Bachelor's degree is required. An advanced degree is preferred.
At least four years of applicable experience with increasing responsibility working on a public affairs, public policy or political campaign.
Prior to commencing employment with Pew, candidates for this position who were registered to lobby in any jurisdiction must certify termination of previous registration(s) and provide copies of termination notices with said jurisdiction(s) to Pew.
Experience working on issues related to flood insurance, resilient infrastructure, and/or disaster mitigation.
Strong interpersonal skills, including the ability to work productively and diplomatically with a wide array of different people and institutions.
Ability to translate complex data and issues into user-friendly content for the web, Capitol Hill or media.
Ability to manage multiple projects and subjects and meet near-term and long-term deadlines.
Excellent written and oral communications skills, and the ability to make decisions, justify recommendations, and be clear and firm with colleagues and partners.
Excellent analytic and problem-solving skills and highly results-oriented.
Limited domestic travel for stakeholder conferences and meetings is anticipated.
We offer a competitive salary and benefit program, including: comprehensive, affordable health care through medical, dental, and vision coverage; financial security with life and disability insurance; opportunities to save using health savings and flexible spending accounts; retirement benefits to help prepare for the future; and work/life benefits to maintain a good balance.

Pew considers qualified applicants for employment without regard to age, sex, ethnicity, religion, disability, marital status, sexual orientation or gender identity, military/veteran status, or any other basis prohibited by applicable law.

With the temps being so hot lately, we've been looking for fun indoor activities. We decided to get a family pass for the Science Museum as part of the twins' second birthday gift. They have moved locations because they're under renovation, so I didn't think it was nearly as fun as the old museum, but my boys had such a great time and didn't even seem to notice.
This ball is full of sort of soapy water, and has whirlpools when you spin it fast enough.
This is one of those pin tables, where you can press your hands underneath into the pins to look at the pictures you make.
Pierce loved this - he called it a record player. You can switch out the disks and spin them to see what happens to the colors and patterns. It was his favorite thing.
Rainbow glasses - put them on and you see rainbows everywhere.
What museum isn't complete without a HUGE talking mouth?
If they don't make the cut for the future Partridge Family, they'll totally be dentists, I just know it.
My 3 boys, taking over all the little booths. I really DO need eyes in the back of my head!
We also recently met up with my sister-in-law and the boys' cousin, Grady, at Amazement Square, a really fun children's museum in Lynchburg, VA. You can learn more about Grady at Frogs and Snails and Hokie Bird Tails.
Sharing this picture sampler of some of our summer adventures over at Things I Can't Say - you could join in too!
Well, since I didn't see the old museum, this looks pretty darn wonderful to me! I always liked that electricity globe thing you showed in the first photo!
I had to laugh about the penny funnel, because my kids were nuts about that too!
Both museums look like fun! My nephews loved Amazement Square!
That looks so fun for the boys!
I just love the wonder and excitement in the eyes of children exploring and learning. Great job!
Never, never can go wrong with museums!!!
that looks like fun. i wish we had something like that here. except for the mouth. i'm okay with out that.
Personally, I found the mouth to be a bit gross....but kids, hey, they don't think that way. Loved the last picture of Pierce with that great smile of his.
Oh my, that looks like a fun filled day!
Oh, what fun! I need to see if I can squeeze in a museum trip with my boys before school starts!
click on the Farm Market picture, then at the top, run the mouse over "Market", and hit "Event Schedule" on the drop down.
Oh the exploring! Seriously so much fun!
And that last picture is priceless!
Love all the pictures! Looks like they had a great time!
had a great time! Children have such auninhibited gift of wonder-I love it. I wish we all could look at the world through their eyes.
Partridge family? Wasn't there a girl in that family band? You'd better get busy!!
What awesome pics! I would be chasing kids all over but my kids are dying to go to a museum. We don't live near one on the prairie but may need to plan a road trip!
You are such a great mom!! What a great idea and such a fun place to spend the day out of the Summer heat!
What a blast that would be. I can't believe the twins were into it too. Again, we have NOTHING like that around here. Our children's museum is mediocre but not really set up well.
Thank you so much Lisa for taking the time to comment on my post at Yummy Mummy!
You live near Roanoke Virginia? How far do you have to travel to do all this - you have the greatest things there - the kids are exposed to so many wonderful places.
How neat, Lisa.... I'm showing a picture of my three sons in tomorrow's blog. Enjoy those little guys now --because they do grow up very fast.
That Science Museum is a great place to go back to over and over..... Kids love it!!!
GREAT pictures.... Made me smile.
What fun!!! Looks like they had a blast!
Sounds like a great time! Kids can really make so much fun out of anything huh. My kids always drain me of all my coins when we see one of those spin things too.
Ohhh & LOOOOVE the Mr shirts that the boys are wearing in the last pic! I totally remember those books from when I was little.
I went to Science museum when I was in Lodnon and I love it there. It's mainly for kids, but I still love it :) Science museums are fun!
Double fun with those museums.


In the first place, let me thank the leaders of the Republic of Kazakhstan, your country's President Nursultan Nazarbayev and you personally, as the Chairperson of this meeting, for the hospitality and support that Kazakhstan has accorded and continues to accord ever since the Astana format was launched. I am sure that these feelings are shared by my colleagues and friends, the ministers of foreign affairs of Iran and Turkey Mohammad Javad Zarif and Mevlut Cavusoglu.
During the time that we have worked here, Astana has confirmed its role as one of the main capitals in the heart of Eurasia, where tradition and modernity, the East and the West harmoniously intertwine. With the start of the Astana process, the city has become a crucial platform for decision-making on a Syrian settlement, one of the most acute international problems. To speak in a lofty style, when the name of the capital of Kazakhstan is heard in the media, millions of Syrians look to Astana with hope.
The Astana format, which was set up by Russia, Iran and Turkey a year ago, has proved its significance and become synonymous with progress along the path of normalising the situation in Syria and the promotion of a political and diplomatic solution. I will not enumerate all the concrete positive shifts in the situation in the Syrian Arab Republic, which became possible thanks, above all, to the initiatives coordinated here, in Astana. I will only say that the de-escalation zones are really working, that the principles of humanitarian mine clearance have been worked out and that a working group has been formed to liberate the detained hostages and it held its first and very productive meeting here yesterday. Without doubt, our efforts have greatly facilitated the delivery of humanitarian aid and paved the way for the resumption of a fully-fledged political process on the basis of UN Security Council Resolution 2254. This was very clearly expressed in the Final Statement of the Syrian National Dialogue Congress, an unprecedented conference that we convened in Sochi, with representatives from all the main ethnic and religious groups of the Syrian society.
It is worth mentioning that not everyone is satisfied with the progress made through our efforts and based on full respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic. Our efforts and the things we are seeking to achieve in Astana are not welcomed by those who, in breach of all international norms and in gross violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2254, have evidently embarked on a path towards division and regime change in Syria with the aim of splitting this very important Middle Eastern country into small principalities controlled by outside players. I am convinced that we are on the right side of history and definitely on the right side of international law. Along with the ongoing fight against terrorism, we will keep moving forward in all the areas identified as priorities in UN Security Council Resolution 2254 and reflected in the documents of the Astana talks and the Sochi Congress. I hope that the US-led international coalitions will eventually realise that instead of exonerating terrorists, as is now happening in Eastern Ghouta, it is necessary to wage a principled, consistent, uncompromising struggle against terrorist organisations, including Jabhat al-Nusra, no matter what it mimics or what new names it takes. One of the main problems in this connection (something we discussed with our American colleagues from as far back as ex-President Barack Obama's administration) is the need to separate the right, constructive armed opposition from terrorists, above all Jabhat al-Nusra, against which the American coalition is still refusing to take action, despite the fact that the UN Security Council's resolution qualifies it as a terrorist group.
I will not elaborate on our further work. This is an internal matter. We will tell the media about what has been agreed today. At this stage, let me once again thank our Kazakh hosts and friends and express confidence that the Astana process will continue to succeed in providing effective assistance to the Syrian settlement in full compliance with UN Security Council resolutions.

Die Depfa Bank plc ist eine ehemals unabhängige Bank mit Schwerpunkt auf der Finanzierung der öffentlichen Hand. Sie ist seit 19. November 2021 eine hundertprozentige Tochtergesellschaft der BAWAG Group AG. Von 2007 bis zum 19. Dezember 2014 war die Depfa Teil der Hypo Real Estate. Vom 19. Dezember 2014 bis 19. November 2021 war sie Teil der  bundeseigenen Bad Bank FMS Wertmanagement.

Geschichte

Staatliches Unternehmen zur Kommunalfinanzierung
Gegründet wurde sie 1922 als staatliche Preußische Landespfandbriefanstalt zur Finanzierung des Kleinwohnungsbaus. 1949 wechselte der Hauptsitz von Berlin nach Wiesbaden. 1951 änderte man den Namen in Deutsche Pfandbriefanstalt, aus der sich der heutige Name noch ableitet. Ab 1954 war die Bank eine bundesunmittelbare Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts. In den 1970er Jahren erstarkte das heutige Geschäftsfeld Kommunalkredite. 1979 erwarb die DePfa eine Mehrheitsbeteiligung an der Deutschen Bau- und Bodenbank AG. 1997/98 erfolgte der Versuch einer feindlichen Übernahme der DePfa durch die schweizerische UBS. 1998/99 wurde die Deutsche Bau- und Bodenbank AG mit dem Geschäftsbereich "Immobilienfinanzierung" der Depfa zusammengelegt.

Privatisierung
Im Rahmen der Privatisierungspolitik der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wurde die DEPFA zum Jahreswechsel 1989/90 in eine Aktiengesellschaft umgewandelt und 1991 für umgerechnet etwa 275 Millionen Euro an die Börse gebracht.

Der Börsengang und die damit verbundene breite Platzierung der Aktien fand im März 1991 statt. Seit 1990 arbeitete die Depfa nicht mehr auf der Basis eines öffentlichen Auftrages, sondern fühlte sich (so die eigene Darstellung) als markt- und ertragsorientiertes Unternehmen dem Shareholder-Value-Prinzip verpflichtet.

Aufspaltung und HRE-Übernahme
2001 wurde das Unternehmen aufgespalten in eine Bank zur Staatsfinanzierung (die heutige Depfa Bank plc, eine Aktiengesellschaft irischen Rechts mit Hauptsitz in Dublin) und eine aus dem Geschäftsbereich der Immobilienfinanzierung, die ausgegliederte und ebenfalls an der Börse notierte Aareal Bank. Eine der größten Finanzierungen im öffentlichen Sektor der Depfa war die des Viaduc de Millau. Nach dem Umzug nach Irland geht die Depfa Inc zu risikoreicheren Finanzierungen über. Mit kurzfristigen Anleihen am Kapitalmarkt finanziert die Bank langfristige Darlehen.

Die Aktie war bis 1. Oktober 2007 in Deutschland im MDAX gelistet. Im Juli 2007 wurde ein Zusammenschluss mit der Hypo Real Estate ausgehandelt, die je Depfa-Aktie 0,189 eigene Aktien sowie 6,80 Euro in bar bezahlte. Die HRE bezahlte insgesamt 5,2 Milliarden Euro für den Kauf der Depfa Bank AG. Der damalige Vorstandsvorsitzende Gerhard Bruckermann erhielt für seine 7 Millionen Aktien die Summe von 100 Mio. Euro. Kurz nach dem Verkauf der Anteile an die Hypo Real Estate geriet die HRE auch aufgrund schlechter Wertpapiere, in welche die DEPFA investiert hatte, in Schwierigkeiten. Bruckermann veräußerte seine Aktien direkt nach dem Tausch.

Unter anderem Refinanzierungsschwierigkeiten der Depfa im Zuge der "Subprimekrise", brachten Ende September 2008 auch die Hypo Real Estate in Schwierigkeiten, die in Folge großes Aufsehen in der deutschen Öffentlichkeit erregten und dazu führten, dass die HRE u. a. hohe staatliche Hilfen zu ihrer Rettung erhielt. Die Depfa Bank plc benötigt dabei nach Schätzung von Anfang 2009 etwa 10 Milliarden Euro an direkter Finanzhilfe.

Gemäß einer Auflage der EU-Kommission betreibt die Depfa kein Neugeschäft mehr.

Abwicklung und Verkauf
Am 13. Mai 2014 beschloss der Lenkungsausschuss des Finanzmarktstabilisierungsfonds SoFFin – entgegen der ursprünglichen Planung, die Bank nicht zu verkaufen –  das gesamte Kreditgeschäft der Depfa im Wert von rund 34 Milliarden Euro durch die bundeseigene Bad Bank FMS Wertmanagement abwickeln zu lassen. Die Vorstandsvorsitzende der HRE, Manuela Better, hatte einen Verkauf der Depfa für zuletzt 320 Millionen Euro vorbereitet und trat in diesem Zusammenhang zurück. Die FMS Wertmanagement hat am 19. Dezember 2014 die Depfa Bank übernommen und am 19. November 2021 an die BAWAG Group AG verkauft.

Historical Restoration | A & A Window Products, Inc.
Serving as the general contractor, A & A Window Products, Inc. furnished and installed 250 aluminum windows with historic integrity. After reviewing numerous options for partial repair or replacement with CBI Consulting Inc. and the City of Lowell, it was determined that the most cost effective and historically-appropriate option was a hybrid solution; replacing the sash with a historical aluminum window with break metal sills. In addition, the exterior wood trim was to be repaired with epoxy and a Dutchmen method, then painted. The job went off without a hitch in the summer of 2013 all leading to a wonderful letter of recommendation.

Emperor W&J 2018 Net Profit Surges 68% to HK$269 Million
Adjusts Business Strategies Timely, Strengthens Foothold Proactively
HONG KONG, Mar 20, 2019 - (ACN Newswire) - Emperor Watch & Jewellery Limited (the "Group" or "Emperor W&J") (Stock code: 887), a leading retailer of European-made watches and fine jewellery, is pleased to announce its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2018 (the "Year").
Driven by the robust growth in the luxury consumption market in the first half last year, the Group achieved satisfactory performance during the Year. The Group's total revenue increased by 15.9% to HK$4,722 million (2017: HK$4,075 million). Watch segment remained the largest revenue contributor, with revenue grew by 13.1% to HK$3,664 million (2017: HK$3,239 million), accounting for 77.6% (2017: 79.5%) of the total revenue. As a result of an expanded "Emperor Jewellery" store network plus successful marketing strategies, revenue from the jewellery segment increased by 26.6% to HK$1,058 million (2017: HK$836 million). Stable growth has been recorded in Hong Kong market, with revenue increased by 19.6% to HK$3,643 million (2017: HK$3,047 million), accounting for 77.1% (2017: 74.8%) of the total revenue.
Gross profit rose 19.8% to HK$1,305 million (2017: HK$1,089 million). The gross profit margin increased to 27.6% (2017: 26.7%), attributable to stronger market demand for watches. Due to an improved gross profit and disciplined control over the operating and administrative expenses, net profit of the Group surged 65.0% to HK$264 million (2017: HK$160 million). Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition of the flagship store at Nos. 4-8 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong by the Group as a self-owned store in December 2018, a depreciation charge of HK$4.8 million (2017: Nil) was incurred. Excluding such depreciation charge, the adjusted net profit rose 68.1% to HK$269 million (2017: HK$160 million). Basic earnings per share was HK3.87 cents (2017: HK2.32 cents). The Group has recommended the payment of a final dividend of HK0.55 cent (2017: HK0.58 cent) per share. Together with the interim dividend of HK$0.70 cent (2017: 0.17 cent) per share, the total dividends for the Year are HK1.25 cents (2017: 0.75 cent) per share.
As at 31 December 2018, the Group operated 95 stores (31 December 2017: 80) in Hong Kong, Macau, mainland China, Singapore and Malaysia. During the Year, six "Emperor Jewellery" stores were opened in Hong Kong, all of which are located in shopping malls with heavy foot traffic, such as Telford Plaza in Kowloon Bay, APM in Kwun Tong and MOSTown in Ma On Shan.
The Group continued to enrich its product offerings in an effort to penetrate the affordable luxury jewellery segment. During the Year, signature collections were launched including new "Yo Yo" Collection featuring unisex designs, "Mini Me" mother-and-baby pendant sets, "One Vow, Two Love" Bridal Collection, "Emperor Jewellery x Joey Yung Heartbeat" Collection and Chinese Wedding Fine Gold Collection, etc, all of which were well received by the market. The Group also launched the "Nuo by Cindy Yeung", the new high jewellery brand led by Ms. Cindy Yeung, Chairperson & Chief Executive Officer of Emperor W&J, which embodies perfect artwork imbued with boundless creativity and passion, delivering an extraordinary experience. With the meaning "promise", the word "Nuo" is taken from the Putonghua pronunciation of a Chinese character in the names of Ms. Yeung and her daughter, which also symbolises a distinctive family lineage that continues through generations.
Ms. Cindy Yeung said, "As a result of the macro-economic headwinds, the growth pace of the retail market has been moderated since the second half last year. Nevertheless, the Group adhered to its responsive and flexible strategies, adjusted its business plans according to the market environment, and strictly controlled its operating and administrative costs to remain its competitiveness, the Group managed to achieve satisfactory results during the Year."
Ms. Yeung continued, "Unfavourable external factors would continue to pose threats to the industry in the near-term, the Group would stay alert and respond to market change proactively. Against the backdrop of rising income levels and people's pursuit of quality of life, and riding on its "Emperor" brand established in the past decades and its widely recognised leading retailer position, we are confident about the development prospects of the watch and jewellery sector and the Group."
