It seems like centuries ago now, but the Trump administration's tariff parade really kicked off at the start of this calendar year when it levied import taxes on foreign-made washing machines. Announced back in January, the policy called for 20 percent tariffs on the first 1.2 million units imported annually, and up to 50 percent tariffs on additional imports beyond that limit.
Now—nearly 10 months later—that policy offers a pretty damning look at how this escalating trade war with China could impact product pricing and availability, and consumers' wallets.
For starters, it's important to understand the difference between the sweeping washing machine tariff and the various rounds of tariffs proposed and levied against Chinese imports. The washing machine tariff specifically targeted a complete, finished product and applies to all washing machine imports that come into the U.S. leaving no confusion as to what type of product is impacted. The Chinese tariffs, which currently apply to some $250 billion in Chinese imports, mainly apply to parts of the whole when it comes to the consumer tech industry. That is, components within electronic devices that contribute to the overall working nature of the product—things like circuit boards. So, these are not the same blanket tariffs that were applied to the foreign-made washing machines, but they still have their own supply chain costs that will ultimately be impacted by these impending tariffs.
Additionally, the rate of the import tax varies between the two policies. Whereas washing machines face tariffs on imports that range between 20 percent and 50 percent, Chinese goods are generally facing tariffs between 10 percent and 25 percent.
Still, the impact on the washing machine industry is worth looking at, because at the very least it offers a glimpse at what's to come for other products facing hefty import taxes. And, looking at the recent trajectory of the category, there's plenty to be worried about.
According to recent analysis done by the American Enterprise Institute, the washing machine industry saw its largest-ever three-month increase in prices. From February through May of this year washing machine prices were up 16.4 percent, per data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics data on laundry equipment pricing—the largest such increase in that report's 40-year history. By comparison, washing machine prices had been on the decline, falling more than 5 percent year-over-year in 2017, and edging even a little lower at the start of this year, according to a Business Insider report.
Going a step further, the impact extends beyond the cost of washing machines to the total number of washing machines being imported into the U.S. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, washing machine imports have drastically decreased in the months since the tariff was put in place. In analyzing that data, Forbes contributor Ken Roberts noted that washing machine imports fell more than 30 percent year-over-year in four of those five months—and that's after having grown in the seven previous months.
So, what we're looking at here are fewer options for consumers coupled with higher prices. And this is just washing machines that we're talking about. Imagine what the data will return in a year or less when we're reviewing the cost of goods associated with more than half of all Chinese imports that face still tariffs?

What Apps Do You Just Hate . . . But Just Can't Quit?
posted by CRob - Aug 6, 2018
I never really thought I was "addicted" to any apps until I spotted this discussion online over the weekend . . . and I realized I totally am. And that's not a great feeling.
People on Gizmodo.com are sharing the apps they HATE . . . but they just can't quit. And believe it or not, it's not JUST social networks, although those are definitely the most popular answers. Here are the apps that came up the most....
1. Instagram. Quote, "Just an endless fire hose stream of mildly interesting content."
2. Facebook. Quote, "A toxic hot mess, but the only way I can keep track of what [people] are doing."
3. Twitter.
4. Waze. When it gives you great directions it's amazing . . . but it's filled with pop-ups and every once in a while it totally screws you with a terrible route.
5. Pokemon Go.
6. YouTube. Quote, "I have a bad habit of going down rabbit holes . . . laying on my bed and just watching videos for hours."
7. Google Chrome. It uses up a ton of your computer's resources and kills your laptop battery . . . but it's the industry standard so it's hard to switch.
8. Pandora. Quote, "I like it enough to listen and always get annoyed at all the ads and weird song picks . . . but I don't like it enough to pay for it to make all that go away."

Click Here for the Updated Instructions Video Tutorial!
This program is written with a pixel resolution for display of 96 pixels per inch. This is what pixel per inch resolution most operating systems display images at and what typical 8-1/2"x11" sheets of paper are based on.
Pick an image from the image grid.
Pick the size of paper you are using, either 8-1/2"x11" or A4 which is slightly larger, often used in the UK.
Pick how long you want your finished bead to be. You can make them as little as 1/4" to 1-1/8" long.
These sizes above are all based on the actual diameter you want your finished bead to be. To determine what size you need, make a sample bead in the paper you want to use, then measure the diameter of it. This is the diameter you want. If the exact diameter is not in the list, go with the next size up to prevent a gap of your image.
The quantity of beads on the sheet will be calculated for you. You are choosing the size beads, not how many you want to make.
Pick a type of bead either a tube, sideways tube, tapered, variable tapered, allover print.
You can make several different diameters of beads with this program. Below you will see some examples. Just use your imagination but remember, you need to use paper that can fit and be printed in your printer for the image part of it. You can use other papers for your cores and wrap the printed paper around it.
Size 5 or 6mm: Use one strip, 8-1/2" long.
All styles of beads print in portrait orientation except for the side tube beads. The side tube beads print in landscape.
Size 7mm: Use one strip, 11" long.
All styles of beads print in landscape orientation except for the side tube beads. The side tube beads print in portrait.
Size 8mm: Use 2 strips 8-1/2" long butted up together end to end. First do a blank core with the same sized strip, then add the strip that has the image at the end for the 2nd strip.
All bead styles except for the side tube beads print on one sheet in portrait orientation. The side tube beads print in landscape.
Size 8.5mm: Use 1 strip 8-1/2" and one strip 11" long butted up together end to end.
All bead styles except for the side tube beads print on one sheet in portrait orientation. The side tube beads print in landscape. Use a 2nd blank sheet or recycled sheet and cut the opposite way.
Size 9mm: Use 2 strips 11" long butted up together end to end.
All bead styles except for the side tube beads print on one sheet in landscape orientation. The side tube beads print in portrait. Cut a 2nd blank or recycled sheet the same way.
If you are making tapered beads, you can layer and roll 2 or more strips together to achieve the diameter you are after. Or you can make the wide end of your first strip the actual length you want the bead to be and the narrow end the same width as the width of the wide end of the 2nd strip. Have the narrow end of the 2nd strip be the strip that has the printed picture on it.
Set your printer to print either portrait or landscape depending on what beads you make. This will also be set in the program also. You will choose which way to orient your paper and printer.
If your printer is capable of printing borderless and you don't want a white margin on the side of your paper, set up your paper to Letter Borderless in your printer set up and then put all 4 margins to 0.
If you are printing an allover sheet, make sure to tell your printer to print the background colors and images. If you have a newer browser, the all over sheet should display your image as a tiled image in the dimensions you chose, otherwise, you will get a right and bottom margin that is white.
This is the most basic of all beads designed with this program. This produces a sheet with all of the images down the left side of your screen. There will be as many images down the side as beads as is calculated for the size you are making. For example, if you choose to make 1" long beads, then you will get 11 beads down the side. The images may look distorted because the width of the graphic is a set width depending on what diameter bead you choose to make and the height is determined by how many beads end up being printed on the sheet. You can choose 20 sizes ranging from 5mm to 25mm. You will choose what orientation to set your printer at. To make beads from these sheets, cut the sheets into straight even strips as wide as the image height. Cut from the side of the image to the other side.
The quarter, one third, one half, two thirds and three quarters taper is the area of which the image is smaller than the wide end.
One Quarter: The image is 1/4 smaller than the total length of the bead.
For example Total bead height: 1", image height 3/4".
One Third: The image is 1/3 smaller than the total length of the bead.
For example: Total bead height: 1", image height: 2/3".
One Half: The image is 1/2 smaller than the total length of the bead.
For example: Total bead height: 1", image height: 1/2".
Two Thirds: The image is 2/3 smaller than the total length of the bead.
For example: Total bead height: 1", image height: 1/3".
Three Quarters: The image is 3/4 smaller than th total length of the bead.
For example: Total bead height: 1", image height: 1/4".
In other words, the quarter taper image is 1/4 the size of the wide end which has no picture. Depending on what diameter bead you choose, the orientation of how to print out the sheets will be displayed for you on the sheets. You will have the pictures on either side of the sheet, staggard. To cut these out, just put your ruler on the outside edge of the graphic at each edge and make diagonal cuts from one side of the paper to the other.
When you choose a variable tapered bead, the sheet will be printed on the left and right side of the sheet of paper in a solid strip as many times as indicated above with the length. You can then cut variable widths of tapered strips and there will be color on the outer edges of the bead as well as in the center of the rolled bead.
When you choose sideways oriented bead, the browser will have the images across the top as many times as calculated for the length of the bead. The height of each image is a set height according to which diameter size bead you choose to make. Make sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see what orientation to print out the sheet. When you cut and roll these beads up, the image will be sideways on the bead.
You can use the all over designs for what ever type of bead you want. Tapered looks best but you can also cut each individual image out and wrap it around a different colored core of paper such as construction paper or recycled paper of any type. When you choose to have an all over design, the clipart will be sized just like when you are choosing to make other types of beads. If the measurements are not perfect, the right edge and bottom edge will be adjusted so it will fit on a sheet of paper so it will look distorted. Set your printer's letter size to Letter Borderless to eliminate the border. You can do this if your printer is capable of borderless printing. Otherwise, just set your printers margins to the smallest margins possible.


In recent years the School has been involved in a series of construction projects designed to both renovate existing infrastructure and to create new learning spaces that are coherent with the needs of 21st century education. The Early Years Centre was completed in 2010 – and still draws attention to the light, airy and "transparent" environment created for young learners. In 2012 a second floor was added to the Eastern Wing of Junior. These specialist learning spaces (Science, IT, Art and Music) follow this theme of a more expansive and open education.
During the summer holidays of 2013-4, the lower floor of this same building has been completely remodelled – with astounding results. Students of F5 and F6 will enjoy state of the art facilities from March 2014. The bridge, providing direct access to Senior school facilities in two buildings and, symbolically, finally uniting the two "schools", was formally inaugurated in May 2014.
The completion of the reconstruction of this wing signals a "pause" in the building cycle. Surely, there will be the need for the refurbishment of existing facilities, the need to respond to changing educational demands. Equally, however, it is time that construction took a seat a little further back in favour of consolidating and renewing the School's educational programmes.
VIRTUAL TOUR - COMING SOON!
Located in the suburbs of Montevideo, in the residential area of Carrasco, the School site (10 Hectares) encompasses the Senior School, Junior School, Early Years Centre (EYC), ICT Suite, Auditorium (seating capacity 420), Cafeteria, Sports House, Pavilion, Playing Fields, Hockey, Rugby, Football pitches, a synthetic Hockey pitch, outdoor Tennis Courts, Basketball Court, Gymnasium (1654m2) and Open Air Swimming Pool.
Over a period that spans more than 20 years, the landscape of The British Schools has gradually been transformed from its rather basic beginnings of tree plantation into the magnificent splendour of the gardens and grounds that the School community shares today. Such a transformation does not come about without an incredible amount of careful planning, preparation, hard work, and TLC (Tender Loving Care). All of which requires thoughtful guidance and expert advice, as well as the commitment of a dedicated team of individuals. This commitment does not only extend to the task itself but also to encouraging awareness about the importance of protecting our green spaces.
The results of this very British tradition of 'gardening' are simply spectacular. The vibrant mix of colours, textures, and scents, are a real treat for the senses. Whether for study, work, sports and recreation, family gatherings or visits from members of the wider community, these meticulously cared for School facilities are enjoyed by everyone.
As autumn gradually gives way to winter the evergreens maintain their hues and provide some welcome shelter from the prevailing winds.
The Early Years Centre provides facilities for students in Kinder and Prep. Designed with the future needs of the youngest students in mind, the facilities include classrooms with differentiated learning centres, an age-appropriate multimedia projection centre, and a hall/mini theatre with ample space for collaborative work, a psychomotricity area, a Library, an art studio and many other child-friendly "nooks" to arouse curiosity, creativity and encourage positive interaction, through play.
The Junior School provides facilities for students from Form 1 to Form 6. In addition to the classrooms, the facilities include a Library Resource Centre with its own ICT suite; a fully-equipped ICT Department/Suite with dedicated ICT classrooms. The Music Department has sound proofed facilities with rooms that convert into one space for larger gatherings. The Junior Hall situated on the ground floor can accommodate over 400 students is used for a wide variety of activities, including weekly assemblies and School plays There is also a Staff Room and Administration offices.
There are additional learning spaces for ICT, Science, Art and Music, located in the East Wing of the Junior Buildings, shared by students in both Junior and Senior.
The Senior School provides facilities for students from 1st Year to 6th Year Liceo. In addition to classrooms, these facilities include a Library Resource Centre, ICT Labs, Mobile Device Labs, Science Labs, Music Room, Technical Drawing Room, Visual Arts Room as well as a Multi-Purpose Room. The Auditorium - with a seating capacity for approximately 410 - provides a space for a wide variety of uses. Although located adjacent to the Senior buildings, the Auditorium facilities are enjoyed by all students School-wide. There is also a Snack Shop on the ground floor in the Senior building. additional student break-out spaces, a Staff Room and Administration offices.


We are using Adobe forms with xml schema based interface for invoice printing. We have 3 tables in the form and depending on some conditions 1, 2 or even all 3 tables might be empty. When any of the tables are empty the printing throws error.
In debugging I downloaded the data .xml and inserted in ALD as new data connection.
The SOM expression 'BillingDocumentNode.ZPeriodicDailyHead' for the dataRef specified on DailyHeadTbl, resolved to an incompatible node type of 'dataValue'.
I was thinking that there might be some settings in SEGW that puts all the fields and subnodes under the ZPeriodicDailyHead node with empty value, but no matter how I set the cardinalities it always show up in the .xml as an empty node (<ZPeriodicDailyHead/>).
I was playing around with the form and accidentally found the solution.

Anti aging Cream,Foundation,Face powder,Compact foundation,Lipstick,Suncream
ORLANE is a French house specialized in skincare. Luxurious yet simple products of the house are the result of 60 years of expertise and experience in high-end, anti-aging beauty care. The products are based on science, performance, pleasure that the house wants to offer each woman and achieve the ultimate goal of re-educating the skin. They retrain the skin and reactivate its various functions; they restore the skin's natural balance and preserve its youth.
The house of Orlane was founded as Parfums Jean d'Albret back in 1946. It is also the year when perfumer Jean d'Albret made the company's first fragrance, called Ecusson. Since the perfume achieved a great success the brand changed its name into Orlane and turned to production of beauty care. The name ORLANE was inspired by the character of the Duchess of Guermantes - Oriane - in Proust's Remembrance of Things Past. Ever since then the name of ORLANE has been eponymous with elegance, grace and beauty.
It was in late 40es that the house created the first creams containing active ingredients. The first Institute was opened in Paris. The house started an innovative advertising policy by introducing informative advertising, illustrated with cross-section views of the skin.
In 1966 the new ORLANE Institute was opened in Paris The Institute did not serve just as a beauty interpreter for its clients, but also became a training center for beauticians, hosting over 100 customers a day. This is also the place where treatments, devices and techniques accompanying each new product are developed.
Another breakthrough product was B21 Cream which marked the 21st anniversary of the brand. It was revolutionary in that it contained amino acids and 21 active ingredients. The product was advertised by an eye-catching motto: 'At 190 francs, it's the most expensive cream in the world, but youth has no price! B21, the cream that erases time.' The cream later developed into a whole range of B21 products excelling in the field of anti-aging products. Therefore, is worldwide famous today ORLANE as the anti-aging specialist.
In the early 70es the ORLANE Production and Research centers were moved from Clichy to Orléans, where products are still designed and tested.
Since 1985, ORLANE has been a part of a multinational, family-owned company. The brand is still growing and is particularly proud with their innovative concept: restore the skin's energy so it can carry out all of its vital functions. The company headquarters are located at 12-14, Rond-Point des Champs-Elysées, in Paris' 8th arrondissement.

The Nicaraguan highlands are known for some of the world's best coffee plants.
The coffee farm is now being further developed in a diversified farm (coffee, other food crop and animals) and shaped into a platform for exchange of knowledge and cultural values between the native people and individual travelers from around the world.
With this platform we want to improve the local economy and quality of life. Furthermore we strive to maintain Nicaragua's cultural values in times of growing tourism.
A space where travelers can learn and live the culture and also give some of their own experience and individual values to the local people. It's about give and take.
Based on our values we believe that every person has an individual way of how to approach a new culture. May be through music, meeting local people and learn about their history, get involved into coffee, one of the most precious goods of Nica's agriculture. We want you to find your individual bond to Nicaragua's culture.
We wish that this place may spread the experience how tourism and local cultural values should collaborate in order to protect and preserve the countries historical and cultural values.
We believe that every person has an individual way to experience or being touched by a culture. That's why there is no fixed planning or requests to leave space for individuality.
If you feel like a deep-dive into the finca life could be what makes your journey, we are happy to hear from you and are also available to respond to whatever remaining questions you might have.
This is where our main focus is on: we want you to interact with the people we work with on the farm and learn from their way of doing, help out where possible with what you like to do. Discover nearby towns and see how you can connect to people and your own fields of interest there. We won't push you into anything you don't like to do, but we want to give you the opportunity to discover yourself in a different light and under a different sun.
We place a huge emphasis on cultural understanding and mutual respect. This will be a complete cultural immersion in a Nicaraguan farm and rural life. Volunteers absolutely must be open-minded, humble and willing to learn about a culture which may be new to them, as well as sharing their own. This is key for a successful and happy experience that both parties can benefit from. This means respecting and adhering to the lifestyle and hours kept by the family and workers as well as co-operation and real efforts to collaborate and comprehend colleagues and their working styles within the project itself.
This is entirely up to you, we have a running coffee farm as a location. How do you see your life there?
What is your strength and what do you want to share? We're open to your suggestions and ideas.
You'll be living in the same conditions as the farm workers: you'll have a roof above your head, a mattress, running water and electricity. Food will be supplied three times per day.
Unlike many Workaway placements, we are asking a small fee per week to cover volunteers' food. We have a fully working coffee farm where we pay the workers on the farm, we want to give you the opportunity to spend time on this farm in the way that you want to, in the way that you see fit. That means no working hours are required from you, working is a great way to integrate but if you want to do it in another way that's fine too, this is about your experience and how you want to live there.
Because of our focus on integration in the culture we also ask volunteers to spend at least a minimum of three weeks.
Please, under NO circumstances whatsoever, give money to the people you work with, other than the specified amounts for food etc. We want to give them a hand up, not a hand out. We feel that giving money generates the wrong spirit and does not contribute to the sustainability of the project. If you would like to get them a small gift, please feel free but don't give out cash.
This was a big experience for us.
We had the chance to arrive at te best moment to discover the coffee process with Claudia and Tim. So the first part of our adventure was the meeting with Coffee world, unknown for us before.
We felt in love with all these news discoveries.
After these few days, we arrived at the Finca !
First days were… read more dedicated to meet everybody in the farm (at these time, there were like 10 people working there).
Everybody is used to meet foreigner, so it is easy, if you speak a little bit Spanish, to exchange.
The most difficult, for us in this adventure, was to find our own involvment at the Finca.
Claudia gave us the opportunity to have an intellectual approach really different that we were used to.
So, few days after, we found our way, and even if our activities gave us satisfaction, the process to find it was the more fulfilling.
This volunteer experience is not only an exchange of work against dorm and food. It is a real cultural discovery, with lovable people, and a lot of knowledge to earn.
Of course, it depend of your involvement and awareness, and in our case, we left the Finca with emotion, more than we could expect.
We spent a month on the Finca and absolutely loved the experience. It was genuine, everyone was welcoming and made us feel comfortable. We really appreciated that the farm experience was a 100% emergence within both the Nicaraguan culture and language, and after having left, I think we've really noticed the benefits of our time there.… read more Thank you Claudia and Tim for helping make this happen, our first work experience will be one to remember!
P.s. Tash is missing the gallo pinto!
I had a really good expierence on the coffee plantage. Claudia and Tim are so sweet and make you feel at home immediately. The farm in the jungle feels like a different world which is really nice to enjoy the simplisity of life. I also went to Spanish lessons who we're really good. Thank you so much for the expierence!
Hermance and I stayed 2 weeks in the finca and it was a wonderful experience in every way it could be...first of all, they made us feel at home from the moment we met. There are pretty good at creating this feeling and it was just like spending Time with family. During the days off there were taking us everywhere at the back… read more of the car (my favourite moment ehe) and made us discovered many places and the local food too !
And then about living in the finca...it's just something you live once in your Life. We've learnt a lot about the Nica culture and mentalities and any exchange with workers was - for me - really powerful and authentic. Well, it doesn't that it wasn't difficult sometimes and you have to be open-minded but once again Tim and Claudia are here to listen to whatever you need to Say.
I would like to thank you once more first for this beautiful opportunity and I want to say that I'm so glad to know you, it makes me feel good just to know that existing people like you who aren't afraid of the truth and the changes !!!
I would definitely recommand this workaway to any person who wants to live something real.
It was an amazing experience for me to spend a time with you and your family, and it was a very rich month at la finca.
I learned so much ; about coffee, about culture, and especially nicaraguan culture, about humans, about changes, about a lot of different things.
For me, more than a "host" (or a "dona", jaja ;D), you are now a… read more friend.
One of my goal, in Nicaragua, was to share with the people, to understand them, to listen to them & to discover their culture. With Claudia, I discovered a lot of aspects of that culture by talking (so many long discussions very interesting !!), she brought me to visit amazing places like an indigena pueblo or to see a big fiesta de Maiz (corn).
I really recommend your finca for the future voluteer who are in love with nature, especially with amazing mountains (coffee, pines and fresh air everywhere...just a dream !!) and plants and who want to work like the other workers at the coffee farm in sharing with them the same conditions.
It is an authentic, a true experience which doesn't lie, and for sure that you wil feel change after it.
Hasta luego Claudia, y gracias para todo !
Nunca voy a obliarte !
How wonderful it has been to spend some time together!
Thank you for your support on the farm (in every way), for your curiosity, for being so inquisitive, for being open to learning and knowing that it can be a hard process. I have learned a lot from sharing with you.
Tic & Tac miss you a lot. They are growing like a pair of… read more free kittens and without fear and you have influenced them greatly. I'm sure Bonny misses the walks together. Thank you!
Thank you for being a part of our memories!
A hug and hope to see you in a year :)!
I was only able to stay for a little over a week but I had an amazing experience, and I hope to return when I am back in Nicaragua! I met and became close with a group of wonderful volunteers and workers, and Claudia and David were incredible and so welcoming. I learned so much in the specialty coffee experience in such a brief time period. The… read more farm is beautiful and there's lots of calm, relaxing down time and it was great to get to know the town where Claudia lives and the surrounding areas. This is a wonderful opportunity to really get to explore and learn about Northern Nicaragua. Just wonderful!
Chris and Claire stayed with us at our homestay program in Mozonte, Nicaragua. They stayed with us for two weeks and it was a very nice experience to share with them. They were very keen on learning Spanish and found themselves in conversation with the family and often studying in the afternoons. They settled down well and even prepared treats for… read more the family! They were very kind, thoughtful, and involved with the family and were exemplary volunteer/travelers. I would certainly recommend Chris and Claire to future projects.
We had a wonderful experience staying with the family - they are incredibly welcoming and really made us feel at home. Though there wasn't as much farming as we'd expected, we enjoyed being the only tourists in Mozonte and getting to experience a totally different lifestyle to our own. If you are happy to take each day at a relaxed pace, are… read more interested in learning about life in Nicaragua and (if you need it!) improving your Spanish, this is a good choice. We didn't speak great Spanish and occasionally struggled, but the family are very patient and we muddled through fairly well! The food - and, of course, coffee - were fantastic too.
I am the volunteer coordinator here in Ocotal, Nicaragua. Nicole stayed with us for a bit more than 3 weeks and I think everybody involved was happy she chose to stay with us. She was very flexible with our new schedule and was always positive and interested to learn more about our program and to understand more about the coffee farm and how it… read more all worked. She shared, learned and was a fun and positive person to be around while she was with us. I would certainly recommend this Workawayer to future projects.
I participated in this program for three weeks (was a part of their first group) and it was absolutely amazing. Claudia, the woman who organizes the volunteer programs, David, the volunteer coordinator, and Benito, the man who provides a lot of guidance on the coffee farm, are all wonderful, intelligent, welcoming and helpful people. The workers… read more and the cook on the farm are very lovely people as well, and it was interesting getting to know them. Since it was the first program, they were still working out a few kinks, such as getting more work for the volunteers to do as we can't do the exact same work as the workers, but all-in-all it was a great experience and very educational. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to learn first-hand about coffee production, as well as the reality of the life of los trabajadores in Nicaragua, and would recommend staying at least 3 weeks, as there is so much to learn!
I stayed two weeks with Delia, Wilmar and their sons - a very warm and open minded family. They really let me be part of their family. We harvested beans and coffee, planted vegetables and weeded for about 4 hours in the morning. Delia is a great cook and explained me everything about their culture and took me to a political lecture. I was invited… read more to play the guitar at a cultural event in the village, discovered the near canyon with Andy the son, hung out at the campfire with his friends and played football with some kids. The family does not speak english. I and the other two volunteers had often stomach problems - because we are two weak or because something in the food or in the water wasn't quite good.
my girlfriend and i spent one week in mozonte with delia, wilmar, and their two kids andy and sandy. We SHOULD have spent more because it was an amazing experience. We were truly part of the family during our stay, they were extremly nice and warmful. Melina the coordinator of the project and the two other volunteers were perfect as well we were… read more sad to leave.
I spent an amazing month with this family, and was extremely sad to leave. They truly welcomed me into their home and shared their lives with me. They don't have much (monetarily speaking), but they were anxious to accommodate anything I asked for.
If you aren't ready to rough it a bit, you may want to consider other options, but this was… read more exactly the experience I was looking for. I felt totally immersed in a life that I was completely unfamiliar with. I helped with the beans, corn and coffee that the family lives off, and we were able to finish an impressive food garden that will hopefully bear fruit (literally) for the family.
I love this place, and this family, and I couldn't have been more content with my stay.
Me and my boyfriend were lucky to stay with Noemi and Bismark and their family in Mozonte, harvesting coffee in the mountains, playing cards in the evening, and exploding little bombs for christmas and new year. The family was great and treated us like proper guests, feeding us with all the delicasies and letting us sleep in the mornings if we… read more wanted to. We exchanged some stories, recipies, and smiles, and our broken spanish didn´t really matter.
The actual harvesting was pretty relaxed too, we got to see the prosess of making coffee from the beginning to the end, and Claudia from the organisation knew a lot about coffee and explained us some things about the bigger picture of coffee industry.
The only thing that made us a little confused, was the organising of the project. We didn´t really get much info from the coordinator or any kind of introduction to the project when we arrived, and there were occasions when we felt the coorinator wasn´t really following what was going on. But we managed anyway, and in the end had a really good time.
My husband and I spent two wonderful months with Bismark and Nohemi and their family in the tiny town of Mozonte. From the first night, we knew that the experience would be one we would never forget and it definitely proved to be exactly that. We worked 5 days a week in the fields, first clearing the land and preparing it to plant beans and… read more corn, then planting and then weeding. It was hard work, we were exhausted every day, but enjoyed the experience none-the-less and when we needed extra time to relax or recuperate it was never an issue. The family was so welcoming and always kind. They were very curious about us and we we equally curious about them, so conversation was always interesting and fun natured. We ate well (lots of beans, rice, tortillas and queso), slept well and learned a lot. One of our favorite weeks was the week we learned about coffee. We started by harvesting the coffee, then washing it, removing the skins, washing it again, drying it and finally roasting it and drinking it! Fresh coffee by our own hands, pretty cool!
The experience pushed us to our limits (both physically and mentally...the family strictly speaks Spanish!!) but also rewarded us deeply. It is not for everyone. There is very limited running water. Toilets are latrines and showers are either in a man-made creek or by sponge with a basin; laundry is done in the creek. Lots of hand sanitizer and making do! If this doesn't scare you off then you will have one of the best experiences of your life...truly unique, authentic and real! Enjoy!
We had Hiromi and Aaron with us for about two months. They were absolutely ideal as volunteers in our project. We have a focus on cultural and knowledge exchange and this pair lent themselves so wonderfully to it. They stuck it out through a rough first week with some stomach trouble and quickly adjusted to a very different lifestyle from their… read more own.
They worked hard and always kept a smile. They seemed to be able to make the best of everything. They shared their own cultures and habits politely and did an amazing job of trying to really understand their hosts.
By the end of their time with us there was such a strong bond between them and their host family. They really seemed like a part of the family, and I know the family was sad to see them leave.
Pasamos muy buen tiempo con Anael. Nos echo una mano con nuestro proyecto....rediseño todo el concepto :).
Come and help at forest campsite in Värmland, near norwegian border and enjoy wildernes.

Q: Вычисление значений рядных функций
    Здравствуйте! Мне был дан для вычисления такой ряд, я написала программу, однако преподаватель потребовал сделать ее без рекурсии для факториала и степени -1, так как неэффективно используется память. Нужно использовать частное от последующего и предыдущего члена суммы (Zn - Zn+1) и для остановки счета рядов необходимо использовать следующее условие: |F(xn )| < eps, но я не понимаю, как это воплотить в программу, очень прошу вашей помощи!

After completing cancer treatment patients are often faced with the concern of what to expect and the uncertainty of what the future holds. Worry and anxiety are common feelings shared among people newly diagnosed as "cancer free". After finishing treatment and receiving the good news people expect to feel like they did before they were diagnosed. Many have the impression that they can jump back into their old routines, soon to find that they are unable to return to what was once considered normal. Now they find their selves worried and anxious because they fear the cancer has returned. Understanding what to expect after cancer treatment is very important. After finishing treatment the patient should ask their physician or nurse what to expect. If the patient and their families have the knowledge and an understanding of what to expect after treatment they can prepare and make lifestyle changes, while staying positive. After the treatments are finished follow-up care will begin, during this period the patient will have many questions and should speak with their physician.
Should I continuing seeing you or see my family physician?
How often will I need to come to the doctor?
Will tests be run to check to see if the cancer has came back?
If problems arise after treatment who should I contact?
How long will it take to return to feeling like myself?
How should I expect to feel? What is "normal" after treatment?
If you or family members have worries or concerns do not be afraid to discuss it with your physician.
Fine-needle aspiration: a fine needle is used with a syringe to remove (suction) clumps of cells from a mass or tumor. To qualify for this procedure, the tumor must be large and not located near a hollow organ or blood vessel. This can often be performed without anesthesia.
Needle Biopsy: A small core of tissue is obtained through a large-bore needle and local anesthetic.
Incisional Biopsy: The surgical removal of a small area of tissue. This can be performed with local anesthesia and on an outpatient basis.
Excisional Biopsy: The removal of an entire tumor for analysis through surgical removal. This procedure requires local or general anesthetic. Normally used for breast tumors that are less than an inch in diameter, procedure called a lumpectomy. Before undergoing a biopsy there are questions that you should ask your physician. Below are samples of the types of questions that you should ask.
Will I be awake and will it hurt?
After the procedure how soon will the results be back?
If the results come back indicating cancer who will talk to me about treatment?
When will treatment begin? Should treatment begin immediately?
In some cases the true extent of a tumor's development is not known until the patient undergoes surgery. Surgery will be performed by a surgical oncologist who can determine the size of the tumor and the extent that it has spread. This is known as tumor staging.
Tumor staging is important because it plays a vital role in determining a patient's prognosis, what treatment and therapy is appropriate and if it is successful or not. After the pathologist has determined the classification of the tumor the diagnosis begins.
The physician will determine the "stage" or the extent of the cancer. This is how the physician determines the best treatment for a specific type of tumor. The physician may order more tests to determine if the cancer has spread and if so, to what parts of the body. Lymph nodes near the tumor may be removed to check for cancer cells. If cancer is present in the lymph nodes this may indicate that the cancer has spread to other areas of the body and to other organs. The earlier cancer is diagnosed the greater the opportunity for survival and a cure.
What is follow-up care? Follow-up care is very important because the physician monitors the patient to make sure that the cancer has not returned or spread to other parts of the body (metastasis). The physician checks to see if the patient has any side effects from treatment and will perform regular medical checkups by reviewing the medical history and examining the body. The physician may run diagnostic tests and take blood work as precautionary measures. The physician that provided your cancer treatment will normally be the physician you will see for the follow-up care. The decision will be up to the patient.When you go for your first follow-up appointment your physician will recommend a schedule. Normally during the first 2 to 3 years a patient will return to their physician every 3 to 4 months. After three years of being cancer free the physician will generally want to see the patient once or twice a year for follow-up appointments but you must remember each case is different. Follow-up care will depend upon the person, the type of cancer, and their general health.
When planning your follow-up care it is always a good idea to check with your insurance company to see if there are any restrictions on follow-up care, for example, how many visits are allowed in a year?
After treatment some people fear that the cancer has returned. It is important to notice any changes that occur. Be sure to discuss the changes with your physician so that he/she can determine if the cancer has returned, if it is related to the treatment, or an unrelated health problem. In most cases if the cancer comes back a patient will detect it before their physician because the patient continually monitors any changes that occur in their body.
If the cancer returns, it important to stay positive and not lose hope. Today many people are living with cancer and continue to live good lives for many years.
What tests and follow-up care you need, and how often.
If there will be any physical problems from the treatment and if there is, is there anything you can do to relieve pain, reduce side effects, or prevent them.
Any long-term effects of the treatment and if so, are there any warning signs to watch for indicating a side effect.
Signs that indicate that the cancer has returned and if so what to do and who to call.
Any fears, concerns, or worries.
At each visit it is important to discuss with your physician any pain that concerns you, any physical problems that get in the way of normal everyday activities, and any symptoms that you have.
Every survivor (presently going through treatment or finished with treatment) wants to know what symptoms indicate that their cancer has returned. Everyone is different and every cancer is different, you must remember that there are over 400 different cancers so the symptoms that indicate a return for one type of cancer might not apply to another type. There are symptoms that are common to certain cancer recurrences, but they do not always apply. This is why it is important to speak with your physician and to notice any changes in your body.
Today there are a number of complementary and alternative medicines available. People turn to these medicines to help prevent illness, reduce stress, prevent or reduce side effects, or control or cure disease. Methods that are called complementary are often used with the treatments that are prescribed by their physician while alternative are used instead of methods prescribed by their physician. Some people turn to yoga, visualization, relaxation, acupressure, acupuncture, messages, herbal supplements, vitamins, or relaxation.If you are considering using any complementary or alternative medicines it is important to discuss with your physician even if you have finished your treatment. It is important to discuss any medicines or therapies you are considering using because they could be harmful to you or interfere with your treatment or current medications.
It is a good idea that while; a patient is undergoing follow-up care that they keep records of their health history. This is important because a patient may not always see the same physician and having their own health records would be beneficial to the new physician as well as to the patient.When keeping medical records here is information that should be included.
Type of cancer treatment; include dates and where treatment was received. Include any surgeries, names and doses of all medications, and radiation therapy.
Names, addresses, phone numbers of all physicians who treated you along with the dates of treatment. Include name of physician providing follow-up care.
Complications during treatment and after treatment.
Keep documentation of all phone calls to the office concerning pain, nausea, etc. and the information received.

WARNING: The World's Financial Market is Undergoing Total Collapse
It has begun the unofficial collapse of the Euro that I have announced back in late June has started to run into the massive canyon like fissures of the financial world. As web site after web site and expert after expert talk endlessly about the failing frame work of the whole western financial system; they over look one main point. That point is this; when a patient is brain dead, you may debate that there is still blood coursing through their veins, that their heart still beats, that there is still a modicum of respiration still occurring. The fact remains though the vestigial systems of the organism works, it's main source of control that dictates every one of its voluntary mechanical operation IS DEAD. So it is with Western Banking. There are still "signs" of life, the ATMs work (for most anyway) online transactions are for the most part operational (again for most) but the arguments of liquidity and solvency rage because of the simple lack of omission that the very needed rudiments of the financial system, it's modus operandi, it' s organized brain of safeguards and cognition has ceased functioning.
The Unofficial Euro collapse has hastened the hemorrahging of various sectors around the financial world. Lets start with a few shall we.
Derivatives- I have documented that the real loss of JPM's previous London trade debacle is not the purported intial $2billion or the now admitted $9 billion but $150 billion total loss. This coming from a Zombie Bank that recieves 77% of its profits from the government trough. The IR Swaps that are played in this field is astronomical and is accounting for more than 85% of all derivative trades. So what does this mean? I stated many times, when people have asked me, "what is THE SIGN of a financial collapse?" I have always said that it will begin in the derivative market first. After all we have an unsustainable world wide derivative debt that is in the Quadrillions. $1.4 Quadrillion by most estimates. What does this mean and how will it play out? (more)
Japanese government could 'run out of money' by October
• Bill to allow the government to sell bonds to fund the budget is languishing in parliament
• If it is not passed, government spending will grind to a halt
By Damien Gayle
Japan's government could run out of money by the end of October because a standoff in the country's parliament has blocked a bill to finance the budget deficit.In a crisis that echoes ones felt by other countries like the U.S. and Greece, all state spending - including salaries, pensions and unemployment benefits - could be halted if no solution is found.
A new bill to allow the government to sell bonds to fund almost half the budget has languished in parliament as the ruling Democratic Party tussles with an opposition-controlled upper house.Shinjuku, Tokyo: Japan's government could run out of money by the end of October because of a standoff in the country's parliament
If the bill is not passed, government spending would grind to a halt, the world's third-largest economy would be put in jeopardy and its standing among credit ratings agencies could suffer.'Without this bill, the budget will collapse,' Jun Azumi, Japan's finance minister, said earlier today, pleading for cooperation from the two largest opposition parties.

$15 Trillion To Be Added To Money Supply & Gold To Ascend
from KingWorldNews:
KWN has been getting bombarded from readers around the world on the Michael Pento piece titled, "This Major Fed Move Is About To Cause Gold To Skyrocket." Today we followed up with Michael Pento because there was such tremendous interest in knowing more about this major move he expects from the Fed. Today Pento told King World News that this move he is predicting could add a staggering $15 trillion to the money supply.
Pento, of Pento Portfolio Strategies, also said that if this move happens, "you will see the gold market fly far past its nominal record high in extremely short order." Here is what Pento had to say: "So let me put it together for your listeners. We have $1.42 trillion of excess reserves. We are now going to be told that there will be no capital reserve requirements on owning sovereign debt. You will have commercial banks flooding the market with the purchase of sovereign debt. Not just US debt, Portuguese debt, Spanish debt, Greek debt, all of that debt will have zero capital requirements."
"Let me be clear on this, I'm not saying it could increase M2 money supply to $15 trillion, this could increase it by $15 trillion. So we're talking perhaps about $24 trillion. It has the potential to increase to rapidly increase the global money supply, and it would be a tremendous boost to commodities, oil and precious metals.

Merrill Lynch`s Bullish/Bearish Stock Indicator
Financial Astrology: Gold and Silver Update
By Karen Starich
On August 1st last year I wrote in an article titled "Gold Breakout Is Here" illustrating a Saturn transit to the chart of the Federal Reserve that had the potential to propel the metal to a new high of $1650. I also described how gold would continue to move higher within days. Gold broke $1650 the next day, and it did keep going all the way up to $1900 on August 22nd. Since then the metal has lost it's momentum falling back to under $1550 for most of 2012. Silver has likewise not been able to maintain it's highs in 2011 and continues to limp along under $29.
Pluto rules mining and is currently retrograde in the sign of Capricorn since April 10th of this year, and will continue to produce effects that are like an undertow in the economy until September 17th when it will then move direct. In January 2013 Pluto moving direct will enter 10 degrees Capricorn for the first time since 1767 when the original Tea Party was gaining momentum.
In the Fall, after Pluto moves direct, there could be a very positive change for both gold and silver, gaining new momentum to make new highs. I will also add that Pluto at 10 degrees Capricorn is very positive for the United States, the economy, and mining, and we could see some very powerful moves that could propel gold over it's previous high of $1900.
For the short term we could see a pullback in both metals from their recent gains. Beginning July 5th- July 19th we could see a pullback for gold and silver with an opportunity near July 20th for a long position into the end of July. Watch out on August 2nd, there could be another big drop of $100-$150 on gold.
For the long term, the pullbacks can be great opportunity to purchase the metals at a discount.
The Gold Silver Ratio As An Early Warning Indicator
acting-man.com / Pater Tenebrarum / July 6, 2012
The Gold-Silver Ratio and Credit Spreads
We recently presented a long term chart of the gold-silver ratio. Traditionally it has been a leading indicator of credit spreads, as during times of declining economic confidence silver, which has a large industrial demand component, tends to fall against gold (which is what this ratio depicts, only vice versa).
Our comment below the chart went as follows:
"The 'fly in the ointment' chart. In spite of the big party the markets threw on Friday, the gold-silver ratio has broken through a long term downtrend line this year. This bodes ill for the medium to long term outlook for stocks and junk bonds, as the ratio tends to work as a proxy and leading indicator for credit spreads. Note in this context that junk bond issuance has recently diverged bearishly from the stock market (namely at the early April high in the SPX). This is a phenomenon that was last observed in 2007."
This prompted a reader to ask us to clarify this comment further in an e-mail exchange. We thought it might also be of interest to other readers and our further thoughts on the matter follow below:
Per experience, major trend changes in this ratio precede credit distress with a lead time varying from a few weeks to a few months (as always, this is more art than science). It is a heads-up that 'risk assets' of all kinds could get into trouble as the year goes on, provided the ratio does not reverse convincingly.
Since the AU-AG ratio's peak during the 2008 crash, it has been in a long term downtrend – since the downtrend line has recently been breached, a warning signal is currently held to be operative.
The industrial and fabrication demand for silver has remained fairly constant (or rather, has grown very slowly) over the past decade. The loss of demand from the photography sector was more than made up by demand growth in other sectors. What growth there has been has mainly come from investment demand.
Weak Jobs May Mean More Printing and Higher Precious Metals Prices
Gold (GLD) is consolidating after hitting a two-week high. Investors are witnessing renewed strength in precious metals after the Fed announced the expansion of Operation Twist until at least the end of the year.
Similarly, gold and silver (SLV) have been recently moving higher based on the eurozone and stocks are breathing a sigh of relief as the summit came up with a purported solution to reduce funding costs, particularly for Italy and Spain, worth $149 billion. This may stimulate the eurozone. In addition, precious metal investors appear to be optimistic as the European Central Bank, Bank of England and the People's Bank of China concurrently ease interest rates to stimulate global growth in the depressed eurozone, which is experiencing record unemployment. So optimism is returning to Europe while the U.S., which has heretofore been a safe haven, is beginning to show signs that unemployment may be lurking higher.
U.S. jobs data on Friday was lackluster. Weaker numbers going into the election could once again restart discussion of QE3. A possible coordinated stimulus by the ECB and China could be a catalyst for fund managers and traders returning from their 4th of July holiday vacation.
This week should be quiet but next week could be exciting, especially if we witness this worldwide coordinated effort to stave off a pandemic meltdown before the 2012 U.S. presidential election.
Over the past three years we have seen positive reversals in gold bullion in the summer months. The second half could represent an explosive move in the yellow metal as a coordinated worldwide stimulus begins. Nations such as Japan, EU, England and the U.S. are attempting to devalue their currencies in order to create growth and payoff soaring debts. Austerity is unpopular and the only solution is to continue to monetize the debt.
Gold is regaining the 50-day moving average at $1600 and $1640 would be the next area of resistance. Traders are looking to see if silver gets to $29 regaining the 50-day moving average and breaking the four-month downtrend to the upside. Gold is moving into the favorable third quarter, which has proven the past three years to make powerful reversals higher. This may also benefit the wealth in the earth undervalued gold producers (GDX) and the bargain-priced junior explorers (GDXJ) which are hitting multi-year lows.
In conclusion, increasing amounts of money is being printed worldwide. Inflation may be the only recourse for governments in trouble. We raise an unimaginable consideration. Could it be that the bankers and Federal Reserve Board eventually must devalue the dollar to keep pace with other nations to pay off soaring debts? We are fully aware that such a scenario might exist somewhere down the fiat paper road. Just a thought.

Eastman Chemical Co. (NYSE: EMN)
Eastman Chemical Company, a chemical company, engages in the manufacture and sale of chemicals, plastics, and fibers in the United States and internationally. The company operates in four segments: Coatings, Adhesives, Specialty Polymers, and Inks (CASPI); Fibers; Performance Chemicals and Intermediates (PCI); and Specialty Plastics. The CASPI segment manufactures resins, specialty polymers, and solvents that are used in the production of paints and coatings, inks, adhesives, and other formulated products. The Fibers segment offers Estron acetate tow and Estrobond triacetin plasticizers used in cigarette filters; Estron natural and Chromspun solution-dyed acetate yarns for use in apparel, home furnishings, and industrial fabrics; and cellulose acetate flake and acetyl raw materials for acetate fiber producers. The PCI segment offers intermediates; performance chemicals; and complex organic molecules, such as plasticizers, diketene derivatives, specialty ketones, and specialty anhydrides for medical, pharmaceutical, fiber, and food and beverage ingredients. The Specialty Plastics segment primarily offers engineering and specialty polymers, specialty film and sheet products, and packaging film and fiber products.
Before discussing potential trading opportunities, please take a look at the 1-year chart of EMN (Eastman Chemical Company) below with my added notations:
As you can see from the chart above, EMN has a very important price level at $50 (red). Not only was that $50 level a support back in March and February, but it was also resistance in May and June. Now that the stock has broken back above that level, $50 is acting as support again. The $55 resistance (navy) would be the next key level if the stock were to move higher.
The Tale of the Tape: EMN has key levels at $50 and $55. A long trade on a pullback to $50, or on a break above $55, with a stop placed under the level of entry would be advisable. However, if the stock were to break below that $50 level, a short trade could be made.

European Investment Funds bail out Plantation and save Jobs
Congo (Democratic Republic) / 14 Nov 2014 14 Nov 2014 / By Ralph Ertner
Development funds from European governments have helped to rescue a Canadian company that pays workers as little as $1 per day to toil on some of Africa's largest palm oil plantations in the impoverished Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Government-backed investment funds from Britain, France and Spain, designed to help poor countries develop, stepped in to buy 60% of Toronto-listed Feronia for about $35m in two separate investments in 2012 and 2013. The investments came after shareholders fled the Cayman Islands-registered company as its share price fell about 95%.
Officials at the government-backed funds say this is an investment in African agriculture over the long-term, creating jobs in one of the world's poorest and most unstable countries, and they expect private investors to eventually return. But rights groups question whether the investment in the DRC is a suitable use of public funds, with the cash propping up a loss-making company shunned by private investors that has done little to help workers, paying them about half the minimum wage. "Workers are living in crumbling homes, in severe disrepair. There is malnutrition in the communities near the plantations," Jean Francois Mombia, a campaigner with RIAO-RDC, a non-governmental organisation that works with labourers at Feronia's operations, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Devlin Kuyek, a researcher with Grain, a Spain-based land rights organisation following the DRC, raised similar concerns. "(Feronia) has not brought improved working conditions on the plantations or improved living conditions for the local communities or even (brought) decent returns for the people whose money was used for the investment," Kuyek said. Scrutiny of Feronia follows a wave of foreign investment in African farmland that has raised ethical questions about "land grabs" and led to unrest on some projects. Badly devised investments can harm or displace local people, according to US-based non-profit Landesa that works to secure land rights for the world's poorest farmers, but development agencies have in some cases backed hedge funds with projects considered ethically dubious by some activists.
h3. Biggest Planting in Africa's History
Feronia was set up by Canadian hedge fund TriNorth Capital Inc and venture capitalist Ravi Sood in 2008 to buy three plantations in the DRC and is now one of the country's largest employers with more than 3 500 workers. When Feronia and Sood initially promoted the purchase of the three DRC plantations to investors, they sold it as a potentially high yield deal in a country emerging from five years of civil war, which ended in 2003. Memories of record-high food prices were still fresh in investors' minds and the future initially looked bright for Feronia, a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands to avoid "double taxation" in Canada and the DRC.
Through TriNorth, Sood enlisted nearly 5 000 investors to create Feronia which bought Plantations et Huileries du Congo, a set of three 100-year-old plantations, from Unilever. To raise funds for replanting and to upgrade infrastructure, Feronia floated stock on the Toronto exchange in 2010 at C$4 a share, becoming the first African agribusiness and the first palm oil producer to list on a North American stock exchange. It raised $21.8m after targeting a $15m fund raising. "We planted 5000 hectares (in one year), the size of Manhattan," Sood, Feronia CEO, said in a phone interview. "That is all manual, by hand – a staggering undertaking. It was the biggest (palm oil) planting in the history of Africa."
In 2011, Feronia raised an additional nearly $30m from investors and at one point the firm was valued at more than $100m, company spokesperson Paul Dulieu said in an email. After the second financing, TriNorth's ownership of Feronia was reduced to 11.8%, company statements show. But the company posted losses each year and shareholders started to lose patience and left. Its share price was at C$0.56 this week after falling from a high of C$9.50 in March 2011. Company spokesman blamed the share price fall on a drop in palm oil prices, political risk in the DRC, and a 2012 land law designed to make Congolese citizens the majority holders of land concessions.
h3. Fall from Grace
Critics, however, believe the firm oversold its potential. It posted a loss of US$ 10.1m in the 2013 financial year, up from $6.7m in 2012. By 2013, Feronia needed new funding and attracted development agency interest in its plantations, which cover 107 000 hectares – the size of 230 000 football fields – and produce food oil exclusively for sale in the DRC. The UK government-backed investment vehicle CDC and the African Agriculture Fund (AAF), managed by private equity fund Phatisa with backing from French and Spanish development agencies, invested US$ 14.5m and US$ 19.5m respectively. This fitted the agencies' mission as the DRC is one of the world's poorest nations despite its resource wealth. More than 70% of its 68 million population live below the poverty line, the World Bank says. Average life expectancy is 50.
As of November 2013, the CDC owned 27.5% of Feronia, the AAF had 32.5%, and other investors held the rest. Julian Lakin, equity analyst with Mirabaud Securities LLP in London, said Feronia appeared to have the lowest valuation of major African palm oil producers on a hectare basis. Supporters of the investment believe Feronia's commitment to selling products locally is crucial for food security in the import-dependent African nation and justify the cash injections. "The challenges are huge," Stuart Bradley, a senior partner of Phatisa, and a manager of the AAF, said in an email.
David Easton, CDC investment director, said the capital injection into Feronia shouldn't be viewed as a bailout but as a longterm investment in Africa and other investors would return. "They need to recognise the long time horizons involved in crops like oil palm, where there is a multi-year period from planting to harvest," he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. The CDC has a strong track record of picking winners and its London-based officials believe the DRC investment protects the jobs of local workers by keeping the plantations working. The CDC has, however, been criticised for routing more than two-thirds of its development investments through tax havens, according to a European Network on Debt and Development report.
Feronia has defended its Cayman Island registration, saying it pays all its taxes and paid US$ 2.64m in taxes to the DRC government in 2013, much-needed revenue for authorities. But activists resent that Feronia's purchase of the plantations, partly with public funds, has not led to improved conditions for workers beyond maintaining their jobs. Most are poorly paid, often earning just over US$ 1 a day. Sood, Feronia's CEO, agreed that wages are "too low" but stressed it was challenging to get the company into the black. Mombia said unions are currently negotiating with the company over wages and benefits. "They are not taking care of the workers … None of the schools (for the children of employees in the remote area) are functioning," he said. Part of CDC's investment in Feronia is a ring-fenced US$ 3.6m to be invested in infrastructure but Easton said it could take a decade to upgrade and rebuild houses, clinics, schools and hospitals damaged before and during the conflict.
The DR Congo's embassy in London did not return phone calls or emails seeking comment.

DREYER'S HISTORY
DREYER'S HISTORY
William Dreyer opened his own ice creamery in Visalia, Calif., and won first prize at the 1921 Pacific Slope Dairy Show. Over the next two decades, he taught ice cream courses at the University of California and served as an officer in the California Dairy Industries Association.
Dreyer found a business partner and kindred spirit in renowned candy maker Joseph Edy after moving to Oakland, Calif. Dreyer's ice cream expertise and Edy's candy-making acumen created a winning combination. Their small ice cream factory on Grand Avenue quickly became a gathering place. "Grand" has been part of the company name ever since — both as a reminder of the company's birthplace on Grand Avenue and a declaration of the outstanding quality of their ice cream.
In 1929, almost all ice cream was made in three flavors — vanilla, chocolate and strawberry — and was always served as sundaes. Dreyer added walnuts (later replaced with almonds) to his chocolate ice cream and, using his wife's sewing shears, cut marshmallows into bite-sized pieces to make the first-ever batch of Rocky Road. Dreyer and Edy picked a flavor name to give folks something to smile about in the face of the Great Depression. Rocky Road became America's first blockbuster flavor and remains one of the best-selling flavors of all time. Dreyer invented a number of other flavors that are still made today, including Toasted Almond and Peppermint Stick.
In 1946, William Dreyer's only son joined the ice cream business and Joe Edy focused on his candy business. In July 1947, Edy and Dreyer dissolved their partnership.
In 1963, Dreyer's son sold the company to his key officers — Al Wolff, Bob Boone and Ken Cook. Dreyer remained active in the company until his death in 1975.
The company was purchased in 1977 by T. Gary Rogers and W.F. (Rick) Cronk. Under Rogers' and Cronk's direction, Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream expanded its distribution to become the leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of packaged ice cream in the United States.
In 2003, the company merged with Nestlé Ice Cream Co. LLC to form Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream Holdings Inc. That same year, after 26 years in the ice cream business, Dreyer's President W.F. (Rick) Cronk retired.
A year later, Dreyer's introduced its resoundingly successful Slow Churned® Ice Cream with half the fat and one-third fewer calories than full-fat premium ice cream. A few months later, Dreyer's acquired Silhouette Brands, producers of low-fat and low-carb snacks marketed under The Skinny Cow® and Skinny Carb® brands.
In 2005, Dreyer's launched two revolutionary new products: Häagen-Dazs® Extra Rich Light, with half the fat as the original; and Dibs® bite-sized ice cream snacks, recognized as the best new product of the year by four industry publications.
In 2006, Dreyer's became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nestlé. Today, Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream is a $2 billion company. Dreyer's and its subsidiaries manufacture and distribute a full spectrum of ice cream and frozen dessert products.
Brands of frozen dessert products currently manufactured or distributed by Dreyer's in the United States include Grand, Slow Churned, Dibs, Häagen-Dazs, Nestlé Drumstick®, Nestlé Crunch, Eskimo Pie® and Starbucks.
The company's premium products are marketed under the Dreyer's brand name throughout the Western states and Texas, and under the Edy's® brand name throughout the remainder of the United States. Internationally, the Dreyer's brand extends to select markets in the Far East and the Edy's brand extends to the Caribbean and South America.

The new "Halloween" gets solid reviews
October 18, 2018 / Staff
With the flood of reboots, it's hard to get excited about yet another "Halloween" movie, but this one bringing back Jamie Lee Curtis is getting some very solid reviews.
Here's a take from the Bullz-Eye.com review:
Those elements aside, "Halloween" is an engaging, brutal, creepy and occasionally hilarious horror film. All of the actors, including Will Patton as a local police officer and Toby Huss as Karen's husband, deliver great work, covering the emotional gamut while feeling natural and very relatable. It's a wonder to see Curtis inhabit the role again, stepping into Laurie's shoes once more but in a different way. The character is written and performed beautifully; she's a flawed person who is still broken in many ways but also contains a well of strength in the face of evil. The fact that her pain and anger have caused so many problems in her life and with her loved ones is a sad but recognizable facet of her traumatic experience. The filmmakers take great care not to paint Laurie as a misunderstood genius or a basket case but instead as someone whose life was forever altered in ways she may never understand due to her violent encounter.

Weekend box office: greed is still pretty good
Things turned out at this weekend's box office more or less as predicted on Thursday. "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" came in on top at an estimated $19 million for Fox, according to the Box Office Mojo chart, about a million or two shy of the figures being bandied about, but close enough for an adult skewing film expected to have decent legs. Nikki Finke thinks it may have missed it's moment in terms of being a topical must-see and also avoiding some bad press provided by the mouthy Oliver Stone. Maybe. She also points out that Fox hasn't exactly been on a hot streak this summer. Still, this is actually a career high, raw cash wise, for Stone and not too bad a showing for the longest break between an original and a sequel since Martin Scorsese and Paul Newman dared to follow-up the genuine classic, "The Hustler," with his underrated non-classic, "The Color of Money," a quarter century after the fact.
Following not so far behind, really, is Warners' "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" which earned an estimated $16.3 million. Anthony D'Allesandro is calling the film a "bomb" along the lines of the recent "Cats and Dogs" sequel. That may be accurate compared to what family films like this usually make and in light an as yet unspecified large budget but it's still within a couple of million of this weekend's $50-70 million live-action hit.
While the books might have had an audience, something just seemed generally awry and the film lacked a clear premise for non-fans other than "owls fighting." Whether or not Zack Snyder, whose early hits are receding in the memory of Hollywood, no doubt, gets to remain in the high end movie big leagues may now be largely dependent on what happens when his strange and zany looking action fantasy, "Sucker Punch," comes out on 3/25/11.
