An economy in the throes of change
Singapore: An economy in the throes of change
Visiting Indians are unlikely to feel about Singapore that they have strayed into a typical Indian city, for no other reason than that they may not encounter any stray cattle on the city's tree-lined boulevards. But that has nothing to do with effective law enforcement against 'jay walking' of the bovine variety which, let it be said, the country indeed has an enviable reputation for.
No, the absence of stray cattle has to do with the simple fact that the economy boasts of practically no cattle in the first place. With a mere one per cent of the total land mass of the country being used for farming, agriculture is a negligible activity in the economic scheme of things in Singapore.
In fact, the Agri-food and Veterinary Authority lists a mere four goats and 123 oxen as having been slaughtered in its abattoirs during the year 2000. So, reverent Indians who are accustomed to starting the day with a darshan of the holy cow ought perhaps to try their luck at the Singapore Zoological Gardens rather than peer out of their hotel windows at the city streets below.
Forget cattle, on a weekday, beyond the central business district of the city, one is unlikely to see many human beings as well. The impression one gets is of a whole nation that is busy at work. That well might be the case. With an unemployment rate that is in the 3.5 per cent mark, a good 50 basis points lower than what the US economy experienced last year at the height IT led boom... there.
Singapore owed an impressive record of performance on the unemployment front all these years, to a flourishing economy that made jobs available to practically all those seeking it. But in more recent times, there are signs that economy is under some strain.
For two consecutive quarters, the economy has posted a net decline in output. The current debate now is whether the economy is in the grip of a full-fledged recession or not. One school of thought is that it is a recession as the output has declined in two successive quarters compared to their respective immediate previous quarters after adjusting for seasonal factors.
But the more orthodox view is that the basis of comparison should be in terms of the same quarter of the previous fiscal, which criterion would still show the economy as growing. The consensus view tries to reconcile the two viewpoints by claiming that what is on now is a 'technical recession' -- the expression having the beguiling quality of softening the impact.
It is something like, "Well, actually there is recession but you know one has got to humour these economists and so let us call it a 'technical recession'."
But whether economists agree or not, Singapore's taxi drivers say that they are certainly feeling the pinch of a downturn in business. As with taxi drivers the world over, their complaint is that after setting aside money for car rentals that taxi companies charge them, there isn't much left to take home. Some that this writer talked to felt that people aren't spending enough or, more specifically, aren't going out often enough. In a way both are perhaps interlinked.
But whether the cutback in spending is true of the local population or not, it certainly seems true of foreigners. They aren't spending enough in real terms nor staying long enough in recent times than what they were doing earlier.
The average visitor to Singapore spent in 2000 the same 3.2 days that he did in 1999. But far more than the average number of days spent, what should be a cause of worry for policy planners as much as it does for taxi drivers in that country, is the amount spent by them daily while on a visit to Singapore.
In 1999, visitors spent pretty much the same amount as they did in 1998. More recent figures are unavailable. Indians, however, are a notable exception. They are coming in, in ever increasing numbers, and what is more, outspent visitors from every other part of the globe in 1999.
If one is looking for a criterion to assess the state of the Singapore economy, the premium paid for the right to own a car in the City-State is as good as any. The premiums are lower in the latest Government auction than they were in March 2001, when recession, technical or otherwise, was farthest from anybody's mind.
They may be lower now than they were at an earlier point in time. But there is no question that these are much sought after. A figure of something like S$ 27,000 as the price for acquiring the privilege of owning a car -- roughly twice the sticker price at the factory gate, suggests that there is a large pent-up demand for automobiles among Singaporeans.
But for all that, the system of granting this privilege operates in a transparent manner. Prospective car owners can enter their bids through an online auction system that is conducted every month, over a three-day period. The Government is now talking of a complete switch-over to open auction.
It is just as well that supply of automobiles in India far outstrips demand or that for all the chaos on city roads, Indian lawmakers have not thought of limiting demand through a Government licensing system.
From martyrs of Kargil conflict to victims of caste atrocities (freedom-fighter quota is now passe), all kinds of reservations within the over-all quota would have been set up. To top it all, there would be a general purpose discretionary ministerial quota in public interest, no less, for handing out these `certificates of entitlements' as these permits are called in Singapore.
That Indians do things differently was brought home to this writer in a stark fashion at the Chennai airport, on return. I saw any number of passengers with hand luggage, whose duty value should go some way in denting the Government's fiscal deficit, if properly assessed. But whether this is done or not is in the realm of speculation.
A customs official, waiting in the sidelines of the immigration counter, collected passports of these passengers after they got past the immigration formalities as they wended their way towards the baggage area. Now, was the handing over of passports a demonstration of good faith before the customs officials that negotiations, post baggage-clearance, would be satisfactorily settled? I wonder. Read more

Christian Boarding Schools for Boys in Winston-Salem, North Carolina are Unlike Safe Harbor, Nor As Thrilling for Your Boy
As you are searching for Christian boarding schools in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, will you take a minute to look at Safe Harbor? Safe Harbor is a lower cost alternative to therapeutic boarding schools in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, with similar success.
Safe Harbor is Christian boarding school offering a one-of-a-kind maritime program designed to coach troubled boys in essential life skills and to instill character. The Safe Harbor boarding school story is portrayed in the 2009 movie "Safe Harbor" on the Hallmark Channel, which still airs periodically today. Safe Harbor has been featured nationally in People Magazine, and on CBS This Morning, NBC News Today, CNN, and CBN.
Safe Harbor is a Christian boarding school based in Jacksonville, Florida with over 25 years of experience in developing men of character, integrity, and vision. While we are located in Florida, we accept and provide education to boys from Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Safe Harbor turns at-risk teenage boys into mature and capable young men. Boys who find help at Safe Harbor may be dealing with depression, anger, behavioral and academic issues, minor drug use or trouble with the law, or the upheaval of a loss in their life. Often, young men in these situations need help gaining a broader view of the world, one not so centered on themselves or keeping up with their peers.
Though you may be looking for a Christian boarding school in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, please consider that the Safe Harbor maritime experience combined with the personal attention, counsel and training lead to an unmatched opportunity for growth and change in behavior.
For at-risk boys, Safe Harbor boarding school teaches maritime skills and seamanship, offers practical life skills, and promotes character in the context of vocational education, all while boys study for their high school diplomas. The boys (many have come from Winston-Salem, North Carolina) live on board vessels at this waterfront boarding school. They gain mastery in boating on the ocean and rivers while learning respect for self and others, self-reliance, perseverance, and much more. Each boy who successfully completes Safe Harbor learns to captain his own vessel, both literally and figuratively.
Enrolling Boys from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Safe Harbor is Christian Boarding School in Florida with Non-Stop Education
School is in session year-round, giving students a chance to catch up wherever they may be lagging academically. Boys who graduate Safe Harbor earn a high school diploma, and most continue their education at two-year and four-year colleges.
At Safe Harbor, practical knowledge is as important as academic knowledge. Besides all aspects of boating and seamanship, we offer vocational training in a variety of topics, such as carpentry, boat refurbishing, navigation, log keeping and map reading, welding, engine repair, and basic electrical work.
We also know boys should be able to handle basic life skills. Students of Safe Harbor are taught to balance a checkbook and handle personal finances responsibly, apply for a job using appropriate resume and interview skills, understand basic nutrition, and handle laundry and housekeeping tasks, to name just a handful of the topics we cover. Our goal is to make your boy respectful, self-reliant, confident, and competent.
Christian Boarding School that Helps Boys from Winston-Salem, North Carolina Make a Change of Heart and Attitude
Safe Harbor teaches boys practical lessons based on the biblical book of Proverbs, and our overall philosophies are grounded in God's Word. We want teens to ask the meaningful questions about life and discover the answers for themselves.
Concerning counseling, our program uses group and one-on-one counseling, both from a mental health professional and from a pastoral counselor. The small number of boys in our program gives an abundance of interaction time for boys from Winston-Salem, North Carolina with professional staff and mentors.
Because of the unique nature of the program, we take residents from all across the country, including from Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Chargers Fantasy Preview: Philip Rivers rebounds for a big game vs. Houston

Chargers Fantasy Preview: Passing and Catching
The Passing Game
Rivers is going to bounce back in a big way this week. The pass defense for Houston was decent enough last week against Gardner Minshew in his first start for Jacksonville, but they struggled big-time against Drew Brees on the road.
Rivers knows that he was over-reliant on Keenan Allen in Week 2, and he's going to spread the ball around better this week. Mike Williams had some impressive catches last week while he was dealing with knee soreness, but he's off the injury report this week.
Ekeler, of course, remains a big weapon for Rivers and you'll see some of those screen formations the Chargers always set up with him.
A sleeper for Rivers may be receiver Dontrelle Inman, as he went off against the Texans the last time the teams matched up. As the third receiver, Rivers will try to get him more involved this week if he can. Last week was only the second time in 18 games he didn't have a passing touchdown, and it's not happening again for a while.
The Receiving Game
Allen is the Chargers' lead receiver in fantasy by far. He's getting the ball no matter what. After that, the situation gets a bit murkier. In terms of confidence currently, the second receiver is probably Williams. He's a touchdown-dependent option in non-PPR leagues, but he could be in for a big game this week with Rivers wanting to spread the ball more evenly throughout the offense. After that, the last viable receiving target is probably Ekeler.
Travis Benjamin is always a guy who can catch a deep ball or two a game, but there's no consistency at the moment. The same is true for Inman. Virgil Green hasn't gotten many targets and while that may change, he simply isn't reliable at the moment.
Other than Allen, Williams, and Ekeler, there aren't too many viable options for now, until Rivers finds other consistent option or Hunter Henry returns.

Enrico Magenes (Milan,  – Pavie, ) est un mathématicien italien.

Biographie

Formation et années de guerre
Enrico Magenes est né à Milan en 1923. À 20 ans, la Seconde Guerre mondiale l'oblige à interrompre ses études de mathématiques à l'École normale supérieure de Pise. De retour à Pavie, il devient directeur de l'Action catholique italienne et il est l'un des promoteurs de l'instauration de Démocratie chrétienne. En 1944, il est arrêté  en tant que membre du Comité de libération nationale de Pavie puis déporté au camp de transit de Bolzano-Gries, au camp de concentration de Flossenbürg avec le  et enfin à Kottern, sous-camp de Dachau. Il est libéré en avril 1945.

Carrière scientifique
Il reprend immédiatement l'étude des mathématiques à Pise, d'abord sous la direction de Leonida Tonelli (mort en 1946) avec qui il travaille sur le calcul des variations, puis il est diplômé de la Scuola Normale Superiore de Pise en 1947, sous la direction de Giovanni Sansone.
Il devient d'abord assistant à l'Université de Padoue en 1948 puis professeur extraordinaire à l'Université de Modène en 1952. Transféré à l'Université de Gênes en 1955, il arrive finalement à l'Université de Pavie en 1959 où il occupe la chaire des Institutions d'Analyse Supérieure jusqu'en 1996, devenant plus tard professeur émérite. Promoteur et directeur du Centre de calcul de la même université, membre de l'Académie des Lyncéens , président de l'Union mathématique italienne (UMI) de 1973 à 1975, Enrico Magenes fonde en 1970 l'Institut d'analyse numérique du Conseil national de la recherche (maintenant avec le nom d'IMATI ) qu'il dirige pendant plus de 20 ans, l'amenant au sommet des mathématiques appliquées internationales. L'IMATI sera nommé en sa mémoire le 2 novembre 2011. Toujours à Pavie, il devient président du , l'un des quatre collèges de mérite du système universitaire de Pavie. Il devient membre de nombreuses académies scientifiques, dont l'Académie des Lyncéens, l'Académie des sciences et des lettres de l'institut lombard, l'Académie européenne des sciences et des arts, la Société Royale des Sciences de Liège et l'Academia Europaea. Une partie de ses collections de livres a été donnée à la  de Pavie.

Travaux
La contribution scientifique d'Enrico Magenes à l'analyse mathématique est d'une grande valeur pour les mathématiques italiennes et au-delà, et a valu à Magenes, en 2003, le prix ICIAM Lagrange , décerné par le Comité des conférences internationales sur les mathématiques industrielles et appliquées nommé par les sociétés SMAI (Société de Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles) en France, SEMA (Sociedad Española de Matematica Aplicada) en Espagne et la SIMAI en Italie.

L'ouvrage fondamental en trois volumes Problèmes aux limites non homogènes et applications, écrit en collaboration avec Jacques-Louis Lions et traduit en diverses langues (dont l'anglais, le russe et le chinois), est devenu l'une des principales références de la théorie des équations différentielles. C'est précisément dans ce secteur, grâce à Magenes, que l'école de Pavie a formé des générations de savants, les ouvrant à la collaboration avec certains des protagonistes mathématiques du XXe siècle, comme le déjà mentionné Jacques-Louis Lions, ou Ennio De Giorgi, Guido Stampacchia, Carlo Pucci,  et .

Hommages
En mémoire du professeur, un an après sa mort, les étudiants, amis et collègues d'Enrico Magenes organisent une conférence internationale à Pavie du 2 au 4 novembre 2011, promue par le Département de Mathématiques de l'Université de Pavie, par IMATI -CNR et le Collegio Santa Caterina da Siena avec le patronage de prestigieuses institutions académiques italiennes.

Depuis 2015 l'Union mathématique italienne décerne tous les quatre ans le prix international Enrico Magenes.

The centrality, supremacy and humility of Christ fill the pages of these letters, along with heartfelt words to one of Paul's young co-workers. The prison cell did not seem to dampen Paul's wonder of both Jesus and the power of the Gospel, nor his commitment to protect the Gospel from those that would corrupt the message entrusted to him by Jesus on the road to Damascus.
The Supremacy of Christ fills the pages of this beautiful but practical letter, emphasized because of error creeping into the church in this small town of Colossae. As you apply your inductive Bible study skills you will get an understanding of what this is, why it is important for us today, and how this letter relates to Ephesians.
It is said that prevention is better than cure. In this circular letter to various churches in Asia Minor (including of course Ephesus), you will be thrilled again with the wonder of the Gospel, your identity in Christ and how the 'manifold wisdom of God' is revealed in his Church. The calling then is to 'walk worthy' of this calling. In this unit, there is the opportunity for you to learn about small group Bible studies, and how to lead an effective one. It will give you a chance to share some of what you are learning.
You will discover that in the atmosphere of rejoicing, Paul addresses a variety of relevant issues in this jewel of a letter, but central to all is Jesus the example of servant heartedness and humility.
The study of these two letters will bring you to the end of Paul's correspondence and to the end of Paul's life, as in 2 Timothy it seems Paul was expecting martyrdom soon. In 1 Timothy, you will engage with the important question of how to identify which New Testament instructions are culturally bound and which are timeless, and how to know the difference. As the Apostle addresses his son in the faith, the personal nature of these letters will impress and inspire you.

Think Fast
Yes, you need to train your legs, but it's really your brain that dictates your pace.
by Matt Fitzgerald Published: Sep 5, 2008
If you're like most runners, you discovered the importance of pacing the hard way. You started too fast in your very first run or race, and ended up staggering and wheezing through the second half. But you learned your lesson and held back on your next attempt, allowing you to make it to the finish without the urge to vomit. Eventually, however, you may face a new dilemma: You become so good at running conservatively that you finish feeling too comfortable.
Perfecting your pacing-trying to run a certain distance in the shortest amount of time possible without falling apart-is a tricky art. That's because even when we watch the clock, we run largely by feel: We decide whether to speed up, slow down, or hold steady based on how much discomfort we think we can handle.
Until recently, exercise science gave little attention to this mental side of pacing. If you petered out midway through a run, most experts would say your body temperature got too high or there was too much lactate (a fatigue-producing chemical) circulating in your blood. But Ross Tucker, Ph.D., an exercise physiologist at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, and a growing group of exercise scientists believe there is a more complex system at work. Their research shows that your brain reads what's going on in your organs, tissues, and cells while you're running, and then uses that information to get into the right rhythm at the start of a run and then fine-tune your pace as you go. Learning how these internal sensors work is the key to becoming a better pacer and stronger runner.
The Science of Pacing
Exercise scientists were turned on to the idea that your brain controls pace by a German researcher. In 1996, H.V. Ulmer theorized that when you perform a task, your brain focuses on the endpoint (a finish line; when the treadmill clock hits 30 minutes), and it works backward from there, calculating how hard you can push yourself and still complete your workout. Several years ago, Tucker and his colleagues, including renowned exercise physiologist Timothy Noakes, Ph.D., started conducting experiments on Ulmer's theory, which they now call "anticipatory regulation," meaning your brain anticipates when you're going to be done running and regulates your pace accordingly. "The brain controls exercise performance to protect the body from reaching a failure point or a potentially harmful level," Tucker says.
How does your brain know this limit? "The brain receives signals from the body and interprets these signals in the context of the exercise bout," Tucker says. So your brain reads the exercise intensity and checks in with all the various systems in your body (Do you have enough fuel? Are you well-hydrated? What's your body temperature?) to determine if you can keep up that pace and still finish. "Then the brain changes the degree of muscle activation to slow the athlete down or allow him to speed up," Tucker says.
In one of Tucker's studies, two groups of cyclists completed time trials in hot and cold temperatures. It wasn't surprising that those exercising in the heat had slower times. However, those in the hot group dropped their pace without realizing it within five minutes of starting-well before their core body temperature rose to a high level. "The fact that they slowed down so early suggests that the pacing decision is made by the brain well before any physiological factor forces the athlete to reduce his speed," says Craig Kain, Ph.D., a sports psychologist and lecturer in the department of kinesiology at California State University in Long Beach. "So you're not slowing down because you're hot; you're slowing down in anticipation of becoming hot."
Although the anticipatory regulation process is designed to prevent you from hurting yourself, sometimes the brain can be overprotective and slow you down before it's necessary. How can you prevent your brain from hitting the brakes prematurely? "We've done research on this, and it seems like the best way your brain learns is from experience," says Carl Foster, Ph.D., professor of exercise and sport science at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse. "The more you experience fatigue, the more your brain becomes tuned in to your true limits. Mimicking a race experience-by running race pace-at least three or four times during your training will make your brain become familiar with what your body can handle."
Kain offers another strategy: negative-split training. "Running the second half of your workouts faster than the first half will train you to override your mind when it tries to slow you down during the second half of a run," he says.
These training techniques will help both your body and mind get used to the effort needed to do any workout or race at your perfect pace.
For more information on pacing and for sample race-pace workouts, click here.
Feelings of fatigue are often just in your head. Your body usually has the reserves to push on. Tell that to yourself when your mind tries to slow you down.
You can train to run a certain pace, but it also takes brainpower. Sports psychologist and lecturer Craig Kain, Ph.D., recommends breaking up the distance.
Tell Yourself: "Hold Back!"
"During the first part [first mile of a 5-K, first two of a 10-K, etc.], restrain yourself to counter the adrenaline that could pull you out too fast," Kain says.
"During the middle miles, you need to concentrate," says Kain. "Your mind will try to slow you down because it thinks you should conserve energy. Being aware of this helps you fight that urge."
"If you've trained properly, you won't need to slow down until after the finish," says Kain. "And if you've kept a steady pace, you won't have the energy to drastically speed up—except for a kick across the finish line." Also, dismiss spectators who shout "you're almost there" when you're not. "If you hear that at mile 20 of a marathon, block that thought. Otherwise, your brain could tell you to pick up the pace—a recipe for bonking—or slow down and walk."
More half-marathon records have been set with even-paced efforts. But marathon records fall with negative splits.

This Court Battle Could Force Trump to Stop Separating Migrant Families
Advocates have filed a petition with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in hopes of reversing the administration's policies.
by Paul DeBenedetto

In February, Vilma Aracely López Juc de Coc fled her remote Guatemalan village with her 11-year-old son after her husband, Remigio Coc Choc, was beaten and brutally murdered. She did what she could to stay in her home, contacting the Guatemalan government to seek protection. But the government said it couldn't protect her (the men who killed her husband were never arrested). Fearing for her own safety and the safety of her family, López Juc de Coc took what little money she had and made the arduous journey with her son from Central America to the southern United States border in the hopes of escaping certain death from the people who killed her husband.
What followed, according to court documents, was a nightmare that has become all too familiar in recent weeks. On May 22, López Juc de Coc was detained by border patrol agents and her son was taken from her. She was charged with illegal entry, a misdemeanor, and the agents told her she would be deported, according to a petition that was later filed. Distraught, she asked if and when she would see her son again and got no answer. She has not seen her son since, and it was not made clear if she would ever see him again.
Legal, civil and human rights groups say they see stories like this every day, often to people trying to legally seek entry to the United States as refugees and asylum-seekers. This is a consequence of a new policy, announced last month by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, to prosecute every person who crosses the border illegally. The Trump administration says that this is meant to deter such crossings, but now several groups are challenging the policy as a human rights violation.
"We have never seen anything like this horrific, cruel policy of separating mothers and children, fathers and children, pulling young children from the arms of their parents, the parents who brought them here to seek protection," said Denise Gilman, director of the University of Texas Law School's Immigration Center, during a press call on Friday. "There is no way to seek that protection from the home country."
The Texas Civil Rights Project, the Women's Refugee Commission, the Immigration Clinic, and the Texas-based law firm Garcia & Garcia on Thursday filed a petition with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) on behalf of López Juc de Coc and other parents who have been separated from their children at the US-Mexico border, hoping to reunite these families and put an end to the practice altogether.
According to the petition, even those trying to gain legal access to the country are being targeted. "Importantly, under the zero-tolerance policy, even asylum-seekers are being criminally prosecuted for the simple act of seeking asylum, and separated from their asylum-seeking children," the petition reads.
That includes families like María Andrés de la Cruz and her three children, all under the age of 12. They left Guatemala earlier this year after being threatened with violence by people in her village, according to the petition. She was arrested near the Rio Grande Valley in late May, and her family was taken to a shabby, freezing facility known as a hielera—"cooler" or "icebox" in English—infamous among advocates for undocumented immigrants. De la Cruz claims she was never questioned over why she left her country, but she was fingerprinted and put in the system. Her children were taken from her. She has not been able to sleep since, according to the petition.
If successful, the legal action could provide quick injunctive relief for immigrants and refugees facing family separation. But it could also be a test of whether the Trump administration will honor US obligations under the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man, a 1948 treaty between the members of the Organization of American States.
"Of course, the commission doesn't have troops to go in and enforce the order, nor would we want the commission to have that, but nor does the Supreme Court of the United States," Gilman said on the call. "Really, implementation depends on the US meeting its legal international law obligations, and in the past the US has recognized that the statements of the commission and the requests of the commission are important authority."
In their filing, the groups say the parents and children have a right to be together during this process, and that the "deliberate break-up of the family unit" runs the risk of "irreparable harm and further separation." The petition asks the IACHR to declare that the policy of prosecuting parents and separating them from their children should immediately cease and that the children in detention should be processed and released.
The petition also requests López Juc de Coc and four other petitioners be reunited with their children and be provided with their whereabouts and a method of communication, as well as medical care, therapy, and counseling "for the trauma caused by the forcible separations."
Though the case highlights a few families' cases, the consequences of the Trump administration's new policy have been widespread. On Friday morning alone in McAllen, Texas, 12 families were split up, according to Efren Olivares, racial and economic justice director for the Texas Civil Rights Project. Every day over the last two weeks, Olivares says there have been more than 70 immigrants in court, with anywhere between 25 and 40 percent being parents separated from their children.
"This crisis is continuing every day," Olivares said on the call. "This is happening in Brownsville, in Laredo, El Paso, and all the way to San Diego. It's important to highlight that this is not isolated, that this is systematic, and it's happening all throughout the border, and it's dozens if not hundreds of families going through this. That is the magnitude of what is before us."
The DOJ did not immediately return a request for comment on the petition.
Now that the petition has been submitted, the IACHR is expected to notify the US State Department, after which it will begin its investigation, collecting data and documents from the government and asking questions. The groups also plans to submit additional cases of families separated at the border.
"This cruel treatment is the civil and human rights issue of our time," said Gilman, of UT Law. "And history is going to judge this moment of family separation very, very harshly."

Q: What's the enterprise value of this audio processing technology company the following financial profile?
Q: Less than 5x annualized operating income? Why is the valuation so low?
A: It's primarily attributable to customer concentration. 89% of ADNC's Q2 revenues came from two customers – 66% from Samsung and 23% from Apple. The company also forecasted a challenging Q3 before resuming growth in Q4. Efforts are being made to diversify away from Samsung handsets and expand the product lineup to include audio chipsets for PCs, tablets, gaming consoles and even automobiles. These growth initiatives are very promising but not yet established.
Note to self: no matter its dominance in its core product area, a company with excessive customer concentration and low product diversity may be destined to trade at a mid-single digit multiple.
We're not the only ones puzzled at the current valuation. ADNC's CFO bought 20,000 shares of stock at $14 in May.
Disclosure: Twinleaf clients have small positions in ADNC, not all of them underwater at the current stock price. The portfolio manager is not a seller at the current share price.


Groundhog Day is celebrated on February 2 in United States and Canada. Groundhog Day lore, which traces its routes back to perhaps Scotland or Germany, or a combination of both, says that if a groundhog emerges from its burrow and fails to see its shadow, winter will end soon, but if the groundhog sees its shadow, the groundhog, who is thought to be a fearful creature, is said to scurry back into its burrow and winter weather will last for 6 more weeks. One of the most celebrated Groundhog Day celebrations occurs in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, USA, where the star of the festivities is the groundhog known as Punxsutawney Phil, who prognosticates the weather. Candlemas, a Christian holiday, is celebrated around the same time and has a similar weather predicting function – if there is good weather on Cadlemas, there will be bad weather for the rest of the winter, and vice versa."

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA TV) A strong snow or ice storm could knock the power out and keep you stranded at home.
If that were to happen, are you prepared by having an emergency kit?
The first step is to find a container, then you start collecting items.
"In your home we're gonna start with the flash light, having those things. Having some extra medication in case you're not able to get out. You always want to have a little supply of medication, having that there. Then having water is always gonna be the most significant thing that you can have," Red Cross executive director Richard Smith said.
You will also want to include foods high in protein, items to keep you warm like blankets, jackets, gloves and hats and a first aid kit.
"Typically we want you to be prepared for 72 hours that you can take time to take care of yourself until other responders can get in and start helping out," Smith said.
Store your kits in an easy to find location so you know exactly where to find it and if the power goes out.
"It's important to kinda pick a room that you wanna be in and then try and just maintain your life in that room, so that you don't have to open doors and that you can maintain the heat of the house," Smith said.
Minimize opening and closing your refrigerator and freezer so food doesn't spoil.
"If you have extra blankets, you can put those on top of a freezer to help kinda insulate that and keep it cold longer so that you can hopefully save your food," Smith said.
Also, make sure you turn your light switches off.
"So that when the power does start to come back on, there's not this sudden rush of voltage in your house," Smith said.
If you have any furry friends around the house, make sure you have enough food and water for them to survive as well.
Be sure to check the batteries for your electronics and expiration dates for your food about every six months.


Home Sabbath Is it right to take exams on the Sabbath Day?
The spirit of true Sabbath keeping will lead one to improve its sacred hours by seeking to understand more perfectly the character and will of God, to appreciate more fully His love and mercy, and to cooperate more effectively with Him in ministering to the spiritual needs ourselves and others. Jesus is our example and He kept the Sabbath by going to the temple (Luke 4:16), preaching (Luke 13:10), and the doing acts of mercy (Mark 3:1-6).
So, whatever contributes to these primary objectives is appropriate to do on the Sabbath. And whatever contributes primarily to the pursuit of one's own interests is not appropriate to the purpose of the Sabbath. Therefore, Sabbath hours are not to be spent in school activities such as studying and exams. The Sabbath hours are holy and should be spent only on that which brings us closer to the Lord.
The Lord promised a great blessing for Sabbath keeping: "If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable, and shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words. Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord; and I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the Lord has spoken" (Isaiah 58:13,14).


View of the permanent exhibition of The imprecise limits of Segarra. Photo: MCC.
This new permanent exhibition revolves around three main characters: the city, the individual and otherness, to lead us through the history of Cervera and the district of Segarra.
It deals with physical and identity transformations through history: from the walling of the city to the markets and religiosity of medieval times and the great transformation into modern Cervera with the foundation of the university, the most emblematic building. In fact, the year 1714 has become a quite significant moment since it will be the starting point for a better understanding of the relationships between the city and its territory, its urban and economic growth, but most of all, the construction of an identity.
It tells us about the creation of memory through the eyes of travellers, through the eyes of the city's chroniclers, and the creation of symbols, actions and local festivals.
The discourse starts with the exhibition of the Sikarra coin: the oldest artefact where the name of Segarra appears as a place name and which is thus the first physical object that draws us closer to a territory - changeable and with blurred boundaries - and closer to an early awareness of belonging to a specific place.

The MWC "Depthmaster" range Military Diver models are MWC's latest heavy duty range and are both extremely robust with a sapphire crystal as well as being suitable for diving with mixed gases at extreme depths due to the 100atm water resistance rating, they also have a wider strap at 24mm (most military divers watches use a 20mm strap) and a non scratch ceramic bezel which is easier to grip in extreme cold. This model also has tritium GTLS tubes for maximum nighttime and low light performance. The Depthmaster range are specifically designed for use by professional divers under challenging conditions.
This particular variant has a 24 hour military format dial and is finished in black PVD stainless steel. The special covert matt black non reflective PVD finish used for this watch is often specified in military contracts for many special forces units as well as by anti terrorist units and for various covert operations. In the PVD process the steel is not black all the way through because the color is created by a special chemical PVD plating process which is vastly superior to the painted finish used on some lower quality watches which can easily fade or rub off. This PVD process means that the color of the steel is altered at a molecular level, therefore it will not deteriorate even during heavy usage although it can be destroyed if the case is badly damaged by a piece of metal being gouged out or if the case is worn down by continuous heavy abrasion against rocks etc.
The movement is a high quality 24 jewel automatic NH35A with hacking function to enable synchronisation. The movement also has a 41 hour power reserve.

NPs can provide a diagnosis and recommendations for a wide range of acute and chronic diseases (within their scope of practice) and provide appropriate treatment for patients, including prescribing medications in some states. NPs can serve as a patient's primary health care provider, and see patients of all ages depending on their specialty (family, pediatrics, geriatrics, etc.).
Similar to all medical professions, the core philosophy of the field is individualized care that focuses on patients' conditions as well as the effects of illness on the lives of the patients and their families. NPs make prevention, wellness, and patient education priorities. In addition to health care services, NPs conduct research and are often active in patient advocacy activities. To become licensed/certified to practice, Nurse Practitioners hold board certification in an area (such as family, women's health, pediatrics, adult, acute care, etc.), and are licensed through the state nursing boards. NPs must practice within the scope of their certification.

Henry King's 1957 film adaptation of Hemingway's Lost Generation classic features Tyrone Power as Jake Barnes, writer for the Paris Herald, whose cynicism is only increased by the war injury which has left him impotent; Ava Gardner as Brett Ashley, with whom Barnes has a platonic affair; and Mel Ferrer as Robert Cohn, the controversial character portrayed as the couple's sometime friend and constant nemesis. King captures with great flavor the Paris of their aimless meanderings, and takes us on what Hemingway wryly called "a splashy Cook's Tour of Europe's lost generation bistros, bullfights, and more bistros."
"The characters indeed drink their way through Paris, Pamplona and Madrid, occasionally perplexing and indeed shocking the locals with their drunken behavior.... Except for some slight bows to the censorship code, the film is in fact a faithful and loving account of Hemingway's book....
"But by the 1950s, not only the book but also the 'lost generation' it portrayed was a legend from another age.... (I)n portraying the 'barflies' as culture heroes, the film faithfully reflects a theme of the Prohibition era in which the book was set and written.... For the generation which were college students in the late 1920s and 1930s...the Americans in Paris of the early postwar years became mythic forerunners. To drink, even to drink heavily, was now cosmopolitan, avant-garde, politically progressive, de rigueur for anyone with artistic or literary pretensions. Those who made The Sun Also Rises in 1957 were from this generation; the movie pays homage to the icons of their youth - not only to the book, but also to the Dionysian revels of its heroes." --Robin Room

Lamson Meat Cleaver, with Riveted Walnut Handle, Stainless Steel, 12"
A little surprised at first by the weight of this. Global knives are mostly featherweights which is perfect in most cases, because you don't need the weight to cut, the blades are like razor blades. The blade does the work, which eliminates much of the need for heavy weight. Enter the cleaver. The blade is less sharp (as you might expect) but the weight gives a nice follow through. A perfect balance and with all the Global precision I have come to expect from this fine company. Not super heavy, but perfect in every respect. Master craftsmanship and balance.
5.0 out of 5 starsI'm glad I decided to buy this on a whim as it's become a major part of my cutlery arsenal.
This was an impulse purchase but it's turned out to be extremely useful. It's become my go to knife for more things than I could imagine. I use it to smash garlic cloves then chop them effortlessly. It hacks away at almost anything that seems otherwise impossible and it's weighted perfectly for me. It requires no extra pressure to chop anything - merely the weight of the cleaver itself is fine but it's not unwieldy at all.
As ever, Global didn't disappoint. The best cleaver I have ever owned. And the first one that I can actually use to chop through bone without it being destroyed in the process (like the Henkels one I made the mistake of buying a few years back).
Solid, not too heavy, well-balanced, easy to clean... another fantastic Global knife.
Very pleased with the quality, balance, weight, and sharpness of this cleaver. Another great Global knife in my collection. It fits in my in-drawer knife block as well as my drawer. Very pleased.
5.0 out of 5 starsMy wife loves this. She's a big fan of Global.
My wife loves this. She's a big fan of Global.
Bought it as a gift for my in-laws, they love it. They use it pretty much for everything. Amazing.

Guess who feeds the Broncos sushi and Chinese fare every Thursday during their football season each year? If your answer is Volcano Asian Cuisine, you are absolutely right! Not only is this Chinese-Japanese restaurant favored by Denver's favorite NFL team, it is also popular among the local community, offering authentic Chinese, Japanese as well as American-influenced Asian dishes.
Recently relocated, Volcano Asian Cuisine is now housed within the plaza along East Arapahoe Road in Greenwood Village. While they retained both their Chinese and Japanese menu, the hibachi cooking station has been removed and replaced with more traditional Chinese dishes.
Owner Jay Zheng says, "Right now, we hope to focus more on Chinese dishes. Our Chinese menu has expanded, with twice as many dishes. We now have more Jiangzhe and Canto dishes, all handmade by our chefs from Shanghai and Guangdong. For fans of our hibachi-style menu, we can still prepare them in the kitchen upon request." Zheng is also the founder of the National Association of Asian American Professionals (NAAAP).
Highly influential in the Asian community here, Jay started his restaurant business in late 2010. "Food is something that brings everyone together, and I felt that it is a great platform for people from all walks of life. I love to see different ethnicities and nationalities come together and exchange cultural ideas over a satisfying meal," Jay says.
New to the menu are the pan-fried mini buns. A delicious Shanghai snack, the mini buns brought back fond memories of my college exchange days in Fudan a few years ago. Handmade by their Shanghai chef, each bun is filled with juicy vegetables and ground pork. Every bite bursts with flavor. Be careful! Do not eat these while they are still piping hot as the soup might burn your tongue!
I also greatly enjoyed the Fish in Wine Sauce, made with high-quality fresh flounder fillet, cooked in specially prepared wine sauce. The smooth and tender fillets work well with the sauce, elevating the flavor of the entire dish.
Jay also introduced me to the Seafood Tofu Hot Pot, which is a sensation during this winter season. Served piping hot in a mini clay pot, I enjoyed pairing the dish with a bowl of rice, as the gravy is filled with the essence of the seafood ingredients cooked over low heat for a period of time. I love tofu, and this one-pot dish has definitely become my new favorite comfort food.
Volcano Asian Cuisine also serves crab rangoons, a classic American creation. These crab and cream cheese filled wantons are deep fried to the perfect crunchiness. While diners can find variations at almost every Chinese restaurant and buffet, Volcano's version uses the best cream cheese, which gives a sweet taste instead of sour. The dish is a hot favorite among the American patrons, along with their Sesame chicken.
Voted Asian Avenue magazine's Best Asian Fusion Restaurant in 2012, Volcano Asian Cuisine has continued to serve fresh and delicious food to the local community consistently. "We are confident that our customers will enjoy our new menu, and welcome everyone back to our latest location," says Jay.


Boa Sr was the last member of the Bo tribe.
One year after the death of the last member of the Bo tribe of the Andaman Islands (January 26), Survival International has warned that the neighbouring Jarawa tribe is also in danger.
Boa Sr, the last of the Bo, died last January aged around 85. The Jarawa tribe number 365 people, and fiercely resisted contact with outsiders until 1998.
Now an illegal road cuts through the Jarawa's rainforest, and poachers and tourists invade their land. Poachers steal the animals the Jarawa need to survive and, like the tourists, risk introducing diseases to which the tribe have no immunity. Survival is urging the Indian government to close the road and to keep outsiders out of the tribe's forest.
The MP for the Andaman Islands, who wants to keep the road open, called last month for India to 'civilize' the Jarawa.
The Bo, the Jarawa and other tribes are thought to have lived on the Andaman Islands for about 55,000 years, making them the descendants of some of the oldest human cultures on Earth.
The Bo were one of ten tribes now collectively known as the Great Andamanese. Most of the Great Andamanese were killed or died of diseases brought by the British, who colonized the islands in 1858. The British tried to 'civilize' them by capturing them and keeping them in an 'Andaman Home', where many died.


Deleted Scene, the book (2015) from Yury Toroptsov on Vimeo.
On a mission to photograph the invisible, with Deleted Scene photographer Yury Toroptsov takes us to Eastern Siberia in a unique story of pursuit along intermingling lines that form a complex labyrinth. His introspective journey in search of a father gone too soon crosses that of Akira Kurosawa who, in 1974, came to visit and film that same place where lived the hunter Dersu Uzala. Yury Toroptsov is not indifferent to the parallels between hunting and photography, which the common vocabulary makes clear. Archival documents, old photographs, views of the timeless taiga or of contemporary Siberia, fragments or deleted scenes are arranged here as elements of a narrative. They come as clues or pebbles dropped on the edge of an invisible path where the viewer is invited to lose himself and the hunter is encouraged to continue his relentless pursuit.

One of the most beautiful tomato plants we have seen with deep green rugose leaves on dwarf, bushy plants. We grew ours in the ground but everyone's comment here was that they would beautiful in a container on a patio or deck. The foliage is not the only stand out with this variety; we have never seen such enormous trusses of fruit like this before, anywhere from 20-60 fruits on one, with 3-4 of these sized bunches per plant. The tomatoes range from 1-2 ozs, have pointed ends with a simple tomato flavor.
Tips: Plant in fertile soil, amended with compost. Mulch and provide even moisture throughout the growing season with good drainage. Plant deeper than they were growing in the containers, it makes a stronger roots system. Apply a compost tea every few weeks. Do not apply excessive nitrogen, which can promote excessive foliage and poor fruit set.
