The National Debt Of Hungary

There are many different ways to calculate a country’s national debt. As HUngary is part of the EU, it follows the guidelines laid down in the Maastricht Treaty. At the end of the first quarter of 2018, the country measured its national debt as 73.9% of its GDP. The Maastricht Treaty specifies that countries should get its debt to GDP ratio down to 60% in order to join the Euro. However, Hungary isn’t part of the Eurozone and has its own currency, which is called the Forint.

The Maastricht conditions counts the debts of all levels of governments as contributing towards national debt. The IMF doesn’t include as many factors in its calculation of national debt, although it also calls its measure “general government debt.” That organization calculated Hungary’s gross national debt to GDP ratio as 69.9% at the end of 2017. Net debt is gross debt minus all of the financial assets that the government owns. The 2017 net debt to GDP figure for Hungary as calculated by the IMF was 66.4%.

The OECD includes all of the debts of the public sector of a country, which includes state-owned agencies and utilities, such as the national rail service. The OECD worked out a debt to GDP ratio for Hungary of 91.8% at the end of 2017.

What is Hungary’s credit rating

The ratings given by the three main credit rating agencies is shown below.

AgencyFitchMoody'sStandard & Poor's
Foreign currency ratingBBB-Baa3BBB-

Local currency ratingBBB-Baa3BBB-
Local currency outlookpositivestablepositive

A credit rating in the B range is not so good and doesn’t compare favorably with the ratings of other EU nations.

Who manages Hungary’s national debt?

The national government’s Ministry of Finance (Pénzügyminisztérium) is responsible for the national debt of Hungary. However, although the Ministry in answerable to parliament for the debt, it doesn’t manage the debt directly. It gives this responsibility to an independent state-owned agency, called the Government Debt Management Agency (ÁKK). This organization was set up as a limited company, called GDMA Pte. Ltd, which is entirely owned by the state.

How does the Hungarian government raise loans?

The ÁKK operates an electronic platform, called WebTreasury, which details the different government securities in circulation.

WebTreasury is the trading platform used by ÁKK for its primary market in government securities. The agency publishes a schedule of sales dates for new issues and a circle of approved buyers, called Primary Dealers, then submit tenders through WebTreasury for part of that issue.

Financial institutions can buy government securities after that initial offering. They can either buy them direct from the Treasury, from one of the approved dealers, or on the secondary market. Hungarian government securities can be bought and sold through the Budapest Stock market, or through an electronic market, called MTS Hungary.

Types of Hungarian government securities

The Hungarian government requires financing on two time horizons:

  1. Short-term financing
  2. Long-term financing

Both of these types of financing are raised through commercial channels. The government also operates a national savings scheme as a source of both short-term and long-term funds.

Short-term government securities

The Discount Treasury Bill (DKJ) is a type of instrument used by governments all over the world for short-term finance. The Treasury bill does not pay any interest, but it is sold at a discount and redeemed at  full face value. The ÁKK sells Treasury bills with three month and one year maturities. These bills are tradeable on the secondary market and can be bought by anyone after the Primary Dealers resell their purchases. Auctions are held every Tuesday for the 3 month bills and every Thursday for the one year bill.

The one-year and half-year Hungarian Government Security (1MÁP and FMÁP), used to be known as Interest-Bearing Treasury Bills (KKJs and FKJs). These are short-term versions of the classic government benchmark bond. Interest is paid on the maturity date, both factors being printed on the bond certificate.

Long-term government securities

The standard, benchmark bond issued by the ÁKK is called the Hungarian Government Bond (MÁK). The government authorizes bonds with maturities of three, five, 10 , and 15 year with fixed interest rates. Floating-rate versions are also available. These are offered with maturities of three or five years. These bonds are initially sold to Primary Dealers through auctions and then circulated on the Budapest Stock Exchange and MTS Hungary.

Retail market bonds

The Hungarian government also issues retail bonds for savers. These are not sold at auction, but can be bought directly from the ÁKK or authorized agencies. These bonds fall into six categories:

  • Premium Hungarian Government Security (PMÁP)
  • Bonus Hungarian Government Security (BMÁP)
  • Premium Euro Hungarian Government Security (P€MÁP)
  • 2-year Hungarian Government Security (2MÁP)
  • Treasury Savings Bills (KTJ)
  • Treasury Savings Bills Plus (KTJ Plusz)

The Premium Hungarian Government Security is a floating-rate savings bond with maturities of three and five years. The rate is a expressed as a premium over Hungary’s Consumer Price Index. Interest is paid annually. The interest rate has a floor so that it would never follow the CPI below zero.

The Bonus Hungarian Government Security is also a floating-rate savings bond. These bonds are issued with maturities of four, six, and ten years. The interest rate is calculated as the weighted average of the yields of the previous four successful auctions of the 12 month Discount Treasury Bills. The bond pays interest once a year during its lifetime.

The Premium Euro Hungarian Government Security is a three-year floating-rate bond that is denomination in Euros. The interest rate is calculated as a sstated base rate plus a premium that follows the European Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices. The contract guarantees that interest rates on the bonds can never be less than zero. Interest is paid in 6-month installments.

The 2-year Hungarian Government Security is a fixed-rate Hungarian Forint savings bond with a two-year maturity period. All interest is paid together with the capital on the maturity date.

Treasury Savings Bills are denominated in Hungarian Forints and they are only available to residents of Hungary. The bonds last for one or two years and the interest paid on them increases over time according to a pre-stated scale. Holders can cash in their bills at any time with the Treasury. The one-year bill is classified as a Treasury bill, but the two-year bill is categorized as a government bond.

Treasury Savings Bills Plus are denominated in Hungarian Forints and are only available to Hungarian residents.  fixed, step-up rate securities in a dematerialised form with a tenor of one year. Interest is paid at maturity, when traders receive the amount of interest together with the principal. Owners of these bonds can cash them in at any time during the one-year lifetime, but they receive a lower rate of interest and only for the proportion of the year they they held the bonds.

What facts should you know about Hungary’s national debt?

  • You could wrap $1 bills around the Earth 438 times with the debt amount.

  • If you lay $1 bills on top of each other they would make a pile 12,300 km, or 7,643 miles high.

  • That's equivalent to 0.03 trips to the Moon.

If I have multiple GPU's in a desktop, is there a way to select one to use for a game?

Question asked by doubledh on Aug 25, 2017
Latest reply on Dec 25, 2017 by taldren

ryzen 3 processor

4gb ddr5ram

GPU 1: radeon rx560

GPU 2: radeon rx580

If I wanted to mine with the rx580, and leave the weak rx560 to play games (since it can't mine if it wanted to), is there a way to set a default graphics card (at least per application, maybe)?
I've looked around and I only see people being able to switch to gpu on laptops, and also they have previous versions and have a "additional radeon settings" that I don't have on the radeon settings menu (It's been driving me insane). There are game profiles, but they don't seem to let you choose what gpu to use in them.... only how that gpu should work for that game =_=
Any help or clues would be appreciated, thanks.

Disable Ctrl+O shortcut mac

The Ctrl+O keyboard shortcut on mac is redundant, since we have Cmd+O to open files as well. This in itself isn't an issue. However, I often use the nano text editor in the terminal, which uses the same Ctrl+O shortcut to save the file being edited. Despite having removed Ctrl+O in the "manage shortcuts" menu, it persists. This obviously isn't a serious issue, but the inconsistency between Terminal.app and RStudio's terminal is mildly irritating

Anyone know of an easy workaround?

Go to tools and modify shortcuts and then you can change Any key to anything you want

I've tried removing it, setting it to something else but it hasn't had an effect. Does this suggest this is worth a bug report, or am I just being thick?

GUESTRUBY The first two characters mean "early winter", the 3rd and 4th characters mean "East China", not northeast. I cannot figure out the 5th character; it's blurring.

Start Up Advice

The most effective priority for any entrepreneur starting a brand new company should be to develop a solid company plan. New company owners often worry about details like getting a company license or negotiating a lease before they've figured out if their new business can be rewarding. Developing a company plan first forces you to think throughout your company idea, including its financial feasibility. Once your plan is in position, you can think about other things, like possession construction, permits, and insurance. For starters, decide what services or products you are going to offer. If you're going to open a bathroom and body shop, discover what kind of products you'll offer, how much stock you'll need, and how you will price your goods.

In addition think about your target client, possible locations for your company, what kind of marketing you will need, and how you will gain an advantage on the competition. Estimate how much you might have to spend on your company and compare that to simply how much you think your business brings in over the same time period. For more on company plans, see Write a Business Plan. Take Care of the Details. Once you finish your company plan and are comfortable that the new venture can be economically successful, you may turn your focus to the more bureaucratic jobs of starting a business.

For starters, you might have to select a legal framework for the business - sole, relationship, limited liability business, or business - and take any mandatory measures to sort your entity, including selecting your company name. Every business must obtain a tax registration certification by registering with their local city or county tax collector's office. State and federal employer id numbersa vendor's permit, that allows you to collect sales tax and also obligates you to occasionally remit these taxes to the state, anda specialised permit or license, like zoning or environmental or professional. Before opening your doors, assess your responsibility coverage and establish your insurance needs.

Set up a reliable and simple-to utilize system for monitoring your business money. Establishing good book keeping habits from the start will make running the company infinitely easier, do not let receipts pile up. You ought to be capable to handle these tasks mostly on one's own, with the aid of business books and on-line resources as needed. Even the most avid do-it yourselfers may be well served by consulting an accountant or other monetary or tax professional at least once per year.ext here ...

By Chuck Carroll

There she stood. In the center of a WWE ring in Tulsa, Oklahoma was a powerful, yet petite-framed, grappler dressed in all black. The dark color of her wardrobe matched her newly devilish persona but contrasted starkly with her full head of fiery red hair. On her face was a coy smirk, and in her eyes was the look of a fighter.

Less than 48 hours earlier, Becky Lynch’s frustratingly long and winding journey came to an end. She had dethroned her former best friend to become the SmackDown women’s champion. Lynch was queen once again, and tonight was her coronation.

The Ireland-born lass-kicker was the inaugural champion but hadn’t held the title for 654 days. And the gold and leather back in her possession felt as sweet as ever.

The climb back to the top wasn’t an easy one for the Lynch. In 2017, she remained one of the most popular women on the roster but would sometimes find herself buried in the mid-card shuffle with largely forgettable storylines. Her fortunes would begin to change with the new year. She was a standout in the first-ever women’s Royal Rumble match, lasting more than 30 minutes after drawing the unenviable second entrant position.

Then came a strong showing in the premiere women’s Money In The Bank ladder match and a succession of victories that earned her a title shot at SummerSlam. The crowd in Brooklyn erupted when she turned on new champion Charlotte Flair after failing to capture the title that night. The cheers dwarfed what she would have received had she won the match.

Becky was bad, and the WWE Universe loved it. Chants of “you deserve it” from thousands of fans in unison followed her to every arena she wrestled. The deafening sounds were impossible to ignore. So when it was revealed she was going to get another title shot at Hell In A Cell, you could sense her moment was coming. When it did, the thunderous applause in San Antonio could be heard 4,600 miles away across the Atlantic in her hometown of Limerick.

Her moment had finally arrived. She had been picturing it for years.

In an industry built on slick scripts and catchy plot twists, Lynch has been doing some writing of her own, seemingly crafting her own storylines. The 31-year-old Superstar believes in the philosophy that if you can visualize it you can make it happen. It’s hard to argue with that belief when the person telling you about it has a 10-pound championship belt around their waist.

On the night before she became a two-time champion, Lynch was likely sitting in her hotel and carefully wording how the next 24 hours would play out. Putting pen to paper has been the secret to her success in and out of the ring.

“I’ve been journaling my whole life,” she told me shortly before her major character shift. “I think when you write it down on paper it clears everything up and you’re able to picture it better.”

Finding time to quietly detach from the chaos that accompanies a celebrity living 80 percent of their life on the road is of paramount importance, according to Lynch.

“I’m generally a high-energy and high-strung person and need to bring myself down to just clear everything else out and visualize the task at hand,” she said. “I usually do that before any big match, sit down and journal. I imagine and walk myself through all the different steps and hopefully bring it to life.”

“Usually it works,” she added.

It certainly did this time.

>>MORE: From the world of Pro Wrestling

It was announced that Becky Lynch will defend the title against Charlotte at WWE Super Show-Down in Australia on October 6.

Rey Mysterio has signed a two-year contract to return to WWE, according to PWInsider’s Mike Johnson. The 43-year-old future Hall of Famer had reportedly been seeking only an 18-month deal.

Former Impact Wrestling women’s champion Madison Rayne has signed a contract with Ring of Honor.

Brie and Nikki Bella’s wine label, Belle Radici, received a nice bump this week. Bottles are now being carried by Total Wine stores throughout California. According to pictures on Nikki’s Instagram account, prices range from $36 to $50 per bottle.

Chuck Carroll is a former pro wrestling announcer and referee turned sports media personality who now interviews the biggest names in wrestling. He once appeared on Monday Night RAW when he presented a WWE title belt in the Redskins locker room.

Saskatoon artist William Perehudoff had a close relationship to the Emma Lake Artists' Workshops. During those held in 1962-63, he was introduced to Post-Painterly Abstraction by art critic Clement Greenberg and American artist Kenneth Noland. From here, he experimented with colour and sought to define his own unique voice. His voice would indeed become persuasive. In “Abstract Painting in Canada”, Nasgaard refers to Perehudoff's paintings' “plays of light and dark, of transparency and opacity [as] subtle and sensuous.” Many of the artist's wide horizontal canvases of the mid-to-late 1970s were constructed of coloured ground transversed by vibrant parallel bars of colour. “AC-78-33” contains what Dillow describes as “the horizontal stretch of colour...[that] vibrates like a violin string, activating the entire canvas.” The long parallel stripes incite thoughts of the prairie landscape; the purity of the level, immense fields which were central to the artist's life and work.

William Perehudoff
(1919 - 2013) RCA

William Perehudoff was born in Langham, Saskatchewan and maintained a connection to this area throughout his life. In 1944, the Saskatoon Art Centre opened, and this provided Perehudoff with early and important access to art. Within a couple of years he was exhibiting regularly in group exhibitions such as the Saskatoon Exhibition and the Art Centre fall show. Throughout this phase of his development as an artist, he farmed in the summer and devoted himself to painting and his art education in the winter. Like many artists of the time, Perehudoff had been influenced by the motivations and methodologies of social realist artists such as Diego Rivera.  Perehudoff took instruction from the influential French muralist Jean Charlot, as well as Amédé Ozenfant in New York, the French Purist and associate of Le Corbusier.  Kenneth Noland, a very important colour field painter, was also a major influence to his work. Since the 1960s, Perehudoff was a central figure in Canadian abstraction. The effect of the flat plains and open skies that are so dramatically present throughout Saskatchewan seem to be detectable in his work. William Perehudoff received the Saskatchewan Order of Merit in 1994 and an honorary doctorate from the University of Regina in 2003. He was named a Member of the Order of Canada in 1998.

Twisting Putin’s Words on Ukraine

Exclusive: Anti-Russian bias pervades the mainstream U.S. media in the Ukraine crisis, reflected in word choices “pro-democracy” for U.S.-favored protesters in Kiev, “terrorists” for disfavored eastern Ukrainians but also in how the narrative is shaped by false summaries, as Robert Parry explains.

By Robert Parry

Sometimes dealing with the waves of U.S. media propaganda on the Ukraine crisis feels like the proverbial Dutch boy putting his fingers in the dike. The flood of deeply prejudiced anti-Russian “group think” extends across the entire media waterfront from left to right and it often seems hopeless correcting each individual falsehood.

The problem is made worse by the fact that the New York Times, the traditional newspaper of record, has stood out as one of the most egregious offenders of the principles of journalism. Repeatedly, the Times has run anti-Russian stories that lack evidence or are just flat wrong.

Among the flat-wrong stories was the Times’ big front-page scoop on photos that purportedly showed Russian troops inside eastern Ukraine, but the story had to be retracted two days later when it turned out that a key photo allegedly of several men “clearly” in Russia before they later turned up in Ukraine was actually taken in Ukraine, destroying the story’s premise.

The other type of Times’ propaganda making assertions without evidence appeared in another front-page story about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s phantom wealth ($40 billion to $70 billion, the Times speculated) without presenting a shred of hard evidence beyond what looked like a pricy watch on his wrist.

However, in some ways, the worst of the New York Times reporting has been its slanted and erroneous summations of the Ukraine narrative. For instance, immediately after the violent coup overthrowing elected President Viktor Yanukovych (from Feb. 20-22), it was reported that among the 80 people killed were more than a dozen police officers.

But, as the pro-coup sympathies hardened inside the Times, the storyline changed to: “More than 80 protesters were shot to death by the police as an uprising spiraled out of control in mid-February.” [NYT, March 5]

Both the dead police and the murky circumstances surrounding the sniper fire that inflicted many of the casualties simply disappeared from the Times’ narrative. It became flat fact: evil “pro-Yanukovych” police gunned down innocent “pro-democracy” demonstrators. Also consigned to the memory hole was the key role played by well-organized neo-Nazi militias that led the final assaults on the police.

More recently, the Times’ Ukraine summary has challenged Putin’s denials that Russian special forces are operating in eastern Ukraine (the point that the bogus photo scoop was supposed to prove). So, now whenever Putin’s denial is noted, the Times contradicts him by claiming that he made the same denial about Crimea, that Russian troops weren’t involved, and then reversed himself later.

For instance, in Friday’s editions, the Times wrote: “Mr. Putin has said there are no Russian troops in eastern Ukraine. He made similar claims during the annexation of Crimea, however, and then later acknowledged the existence of a Russian operation.”

But that simply isn’t true. The Russians never denied having troops in Crimea, since that’s where they maintain a major Black Sea naval base in Sevastopol and had a contractual agreement with Ukraine allowing the presence of up to 25,000 troops. At the time of the Feb. 22 coup, Russia had about 16,000 troops in Crimea and that was well known as Crimea began to break away from the post-coup regime in Kiev.

On March 4, the Associated Press reported that “the new Ukrainian leadership that deposed the pro-Russian Yanukovych has accused Moscow of a military invasion in Crimea. The Kremlin, which does not recognize the new Ukrainian leadership, insists it made the move in order to protect Russian installations in Ukraine and its citizens living there.

“On Tuesday, Russian troops who had taken control of the Belbek air base in the hotly contest[ed] Crimea region fired warning shots into the air as around 300 Ukrainian soldiers, who previously manned the airfield, demanded their jobs back.

“The shots reflected tensions running high in the Black Sea peninsula since Russian troops – estimated by Ukrainian authorities to be 16,000 strong -tightened their grip over the weekend on the Crimean peninsula, where Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet is based.

“Ukraine has accused Russia of violating a bilateral agreement on conditions of a Russian lease of a naval base in Crimea that restricts troop movements, but Russia has argued that it was acting within the limits set by the deal.

“Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations, Vitaly Churkin, said Monday [March 3] at the U.N. Security Council that Russia was entitled to deploy up to 25,000 troops in Crimea under the agreement. Churkin didn’t specify how many Russian troops are now stationed in Crimea, but said that ‘they are acting in a way they consider necessary to protect their facilities and prevent extremist actions.’”

Putin’s Comments

Also on March 4, Putin discussed another public confrontation in Crimea at a Moscow press conference. He said: “You should note that, thank God, not a single gunshot has been fired there; there are no casualties, except for that crush on the square about a week ago. What was going on there? People came, surrounded units of the [Ukrainian] armed forces and talked to them, convincing them to follow the demands and the will of the people living in that area. There was not a single armed conflict, not a single gunshot.

“Thus the tension in Crimea that was linked to the possibility of using our Armed Forces simply died down and there was no need to use them. The only thing we had to do, and we did it, was to enhance the defense of our military facilities because they were constantly receiving threats and we were aware of the armed nationalists moving in. We did this, it was the right thing to do and very timely.”

So, Putin did not deny that Russian troops were present in Crimea. He even acknowledged that they were operational and were prepared to take action in defense of Crimean citizens if necessary.

Arguably, Putin did dissemble on one point, though the precise circumstances were unclear. When a reporter asked him about a specific case of some people “wearing uniforms that strongly resembled the Russian Army uniform,” he demurred, claiming “those were local self-defense units.”

A Formal Speech

Two days after a hastily called referendum, which recorded a 96 percent vote in favor of seceding from Ukraine and rejoining Russia, Putin returned to the issue of Russian involvement in Crimea, a territory that first became part of Russia in the 1700s.

On March 18 in a formal speech to the Russian Federation, Putin justified Crimea’s desire to escape the control of the coup regime in Kiev, saying: “Those who opposed the [Feb. 22] coup were immediately threatened with repression. Naturally, the first in line here was Crimea, the Russian-speaking Crimea. In view of this, the residents of Crimea and Sevastopol turned to Russia for help in defending their rights and lives, in preventing the events that were unfolding and are still underway in Kiev, Donetsk, Kharkov and other Ukrainian cities.

“Naturally, we could not leave this plea unheeded; we could not abandon Crimea and its residents in distress. This would have been betrayal on our part.”

Again, Putin was not claiming that the Russian government had no involvement in Crimea. He was, in contrast, confirming that it was involved. He continued:

“First, we had to help create conditions so that the residents of Crimea for the first time in history were able to peacefully express their free will regarding their own future. However, what do we hear from our colleagues in Western Europe and North America? They say we are violating norms of international law.  Firstly, it’s a good thing that they at least remember that there exists such a thing as international law better late than never.

“Secondly, and most importantly what exactly are we violating? True, the President of the Russian Federation [Putin] received permission from the Upper House of Parliament to use the Armed Forces in Ukraine. However, strictly speaking, nobody has acted on this permission yet. Russia’s Armed Forces never entered Crimea; they were there already in line with an international agreement.

“True, we did enhance our forces there; however this is something I would like everyone to hear and know we did not exceed the personnel limit of our Armed Forces in Crimea, which is set at 25,000, because there was no need to do so.”

However, several weeks later, when Putin reiterated these same points, saying that Russian troops were in Crimea in support of the Crimean people’s right to have a referendum on secession from Ukraine, the New York Times and other U.S. publications began claiming that he had reversed himself and had previously hidden the Russian troop involvement in Crimea.

That was simply bad reporting, which now gets repeated whenever the Times mentions Putin’s denial of Russian troops in eastern Ukraine. Clearly, there is nothing “similar” between Putin’s previous statements about Crimea and his current ones about eastern Ukraine.

Beyond sloppy reporting, however, something arguably worse is playing out here, since this distortion fits with the pattern of anti-Russian bias and anti-Putin prejudice that has pervaded the “news” coverage at the Times and other major U.S. media outlets.

Rather than show some independence and professionalism, the Times and the rest of the MSM have marched in lock-step with the propaganda pronouncements emanating from the U.S. State Department.

    thank you for your courage, and for something that is not afraid to speak the truth about Russia …
    usually all American journalists prefer to demonize Putin Russia, performing this order government agencies of the country-it’s disgusting

    Even today’s ridiculously biased story supporting the coup in the Ukraine in the NY Times contained fascinating nuggets. Here, residents of eastern Ukraine stand up angrily (and, beautifully, peacefully) to soldiers sent by the NATO-backed coup regime in Kiev:

    The residents argued with the troops standing at the front rank, at one point chanting, “Shame! Shame! Shame!” Three more busloads of troops stood behind sandbags and watched warily. …

    One woman scolded the soldiers unrelentingly. “You came with weapons and tanks!” she shouted, her face only a few feet from theirs. “What, you canâ€™t talk to us like normal people?”

    Nearby, a man demanded to know who had ordered the operation. “Who called you here?” he asked.

    “There are illegal weapons being used here,” the soldier replied.

    As the day progressed, residents created new checkpoints, many that appeared under the control not of militias but of angry citizens with wooden rods.

    How does the Times explain the mass public opposition to the coupsters in Kiev?

    “There were signs as well that the dark undercurrents of suspicion that can accompany civil war had gripped some of the populace and the militias.”

    In other words, irrational dark undercurrents of suspicion grip the populace and such undercurrents are simply part of civil war — opines the NY Times’ ‘objective’ writers in a news story — and the people who peacefully oppose tanks and armed soldiers are portrayed, pretty much, as “conspiracy theorists” who don’t know what they are doing and are simply out of their minds.

    How else to explain the local populace’s welcoming of support from Russia and their opposition to NATO and the U.S.-backed coup, if not to label them as crazy?

    I think, the true democratic society is only possible in a country without private and state(governmental) mass media but just public(social) mass communication media. Private media sould be kept only for the entertainment.

    New York Times has a proven history in twisting and misleading its readers.

    As for the US, UK and France – with their relentlessly aggressive Neocon ` Outrageous Lies ` – style reporting – one should caution here to follow the ill-advised recent past when > legions of neocon writers who repeated the party line about the need for a preemptive war against Hussein < as history has it.
    Instead,it should be in the interests of all nations,especially those of Europe,to find ways in terms of their continuous cooperation in preventing any possible hostile confrontations and finding instead peaceful solutions and deescalation's.

    The US should keep ` F*ck the EU `- Victoria Nuland locked up and out of sight.

    This just in: Anti-Nazi protestors in Odessa sought refuge in the Trade Union Building. Right Sektor patriots set the building on fire to contain the outbreak of anti-regime sentiment, and thirty of the protestors inside died of smoke inhalation. Eight additional protestors jumped from windows to avoid suffocation. Those who survived the fall were promptly beaten to death by pro-Kiev “freedom fighters”. Riot police wisely declined to intervene, stating that they were unarmed. Unconfirmed sources could not verify that State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki’s commented, “The riot police are to be commended for their remarkable restraint”. In other news, EU pundits applaud electoral strides made by Neo-fascists in the new wave of enlightenment sweeping Europe. Sweden and France have made outstanding progress. In Italy, Fascist leader Beppe Grillo spoke to cheering crowds saying, “The democrats and the labor unions used hope to stick it in your ass. Here we celebrate the death of labor unions, the Democratic Party and the Red Menace”. Economists were quick to play down any notion that the EU may be facing fragmentation and withdrawal from the current monetary union. EU analysts denied any speculation that continued unemployment above 20% and failing economic strategies would deter their support for current finance and foreign policy initiatives. May Day riots around Europe proceeded with few fatalities indicating that harsher austerity measures can be implemented without risk of significant social unrest. They insist there is no truth whatsoever to rumors that some see EU membership as a handicap to renewed nationalistic yearnings. Germany and Japan have pledged to endure the hardships of further sanctions in order to stem the relentless expansion of the Russian neo-Soviet empire. Portugal, Ireland, Italy and Greece could not be reached for comment. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania vowed to shoot terrorists should they exercise free speech in opposition to democratic principles.

    Hey, let’s face it. This is truer than anything they’ll publish in the NYT. I certainly hope Victoria Nuland is proud of herself.

    Thanks again Mr Parry.

    I can no longer stomach daily reading of the Times in this much detail.

    (Usually look at Michael Gordon’s “reporting” to see what the Times should be retracting in the next week.)

    What makes me sick, furious and feel utterly helpless is the fact that most Americans BELIEVE the MSM/State Dept. propaganda. This is an extremely volatile situation and one little thing could spark WWIII. Are these people insane or power hungry or ??
    Thank you Robert for trying to get the facts out there, but we both know the power of controlling the message.

Every woman wants to have her personal aspiration wedding turn out to be a reality. Many women may believe that to attain this they require to invest a great deal. This ought to not be so. There are methods on how you can have your aspiration wedding ceremony come true without having to spend too a lot or go way past your budget.

Meet the photographer well in progress of the special day. Have a dialogue about the fashion you want and make certain they are comfy with it. Get to know the photographer and make sure you and your long term spouse are comfortable with them. Don’t forget to talk about how many pictures you want taken, exactly where they will be taken, the rate they cost, and any other concerns you might have.

My friends paid out their personal pastor $50.00 to carry out the ceremony and his wife, who dabbled in pictures and was trying to set up herself as a toronto wedding photography donated her services in exchange for use of the pictures to market her business. An additional buddy opened his stunning and roomy home to the pleased couple for the reception after the ceremony and everyone pitched in and brought meals with them. One of our friends baked a fantastic wedding cake that was a massive success.

Wedding is the right opportunity for the photographers to glow in their occupation. If they are doing obviously they will make even more money than the award winning camera men. The reason is award successful is just based on the luck. All the photos will be great looking. The extremely little modifications in the image will get award the photographer will obtain prize money. After that he has to function difficult to get to consider an award successful image it will consider many years for him. The same time the emotional Denver Photographer will earn everyday earnings. If the employer is satisfied with the photographer he will offer even his utilized vehicle to him as current.

When my friend and his wife decided it was time to tie the knot, they did so understanding that they could not afford a large wedding ceremony just yet. They also understood that to have the type of wedding ceremony he thought she deserved and that she was secretly dreaming of they would have to function and conserve for many years. They determined that the previous adage is accurate; two can live just as cheap as or cheaper than one. They knew they could combine their utility expenses into 1 and save money. The also knew that two individuals can share food and waste less than one because the majority of food is currently packaged for two. Their lease, cable bill, and nearly anything else that we spend for in this world can become less burdensome when two people break up the bill.

You might not have chemistry with a photographer you’ve never met. So, why risk it with a studio that rents out their name. Go over exactly what you expect and want from the photographer. This includes time body and options if they offer deals. Figure out if you’ll require more than one photographer. You might have a wedding party that’s so big that you require to have a second photographer. Make sure they don’t shoot more than 1 wedding ceremony per working day. You may discover your photographer rushing you if they require to get to their subsequent wedding. A accurate professional photographer ought to focus on you and your special working day. Operating off to defeat traffic to the next wedding is unacceptable.

How do you know if you will be in a position to get on with the photographer? This is another great reason for arranging to have a meeting with them. At the same time as viewing their work you will be in a position to make an knowledgeable viewpoint as to whether or not you and your companion would want them at your wedding ceremony. Everybody has heard the horror tales of photographers becoming as well controlling, impolite and even downright arrogant at weddings. These are not just tales they truly do exist! A expert photographer should improve your wedding working day and not make taking your photos appear like they are performing you a favor.

Give it all some thought and create it down then do it. That is how you get issues done. The above suggestions will assist you to start pictures company in an effective way.

Effective Leadership

Do you ‘CYA’? Well, C U L8R!

An Anonymous Reader Asks…

I recently joined a company where the term ‘CYA’ is thrown around quite a bit. I am used to the small company environment where using this term was career-limiting.  What are your thoughts on the matter and what should I do?

The MBA Responds…

Thanks for the great question!

To those readers who are not familiar with the acronym, CYA stands for “Cover Your Assets” (there are variations to the term, but we’ll stick to this one). It basically means to demonstrate workplace behavior that aligns with doing things to protect yourself when the blame game starts.

I recently conducted a small poll where I asked the question, “Is ‘CYA’ an appropriate term for the workplace?”. The answers were as expected – “It depends.” or “You betcha.” or “I live and die by it.”  I appreciate these responses and respect the opinions, however, I have to respectfully disagree and make the argument for why CYA is dangerous in the workplace – whether it’d be in practice or stated.

In my humble opinion, CYA, by it’s fundamental nature, impacts two very important factors that have a strong correlation with creating shareholder value and building sustainable organizations: accountability and productivity.

In a lot of organizations, you’ll find accountability as a core value or core principle cast in stone or framed in gold-bordered frames in the lobbies.  However, it is these same organizations that gave birth and continue to nurture the concept of CYA.  Not by choice, but by the implicit culture that has developed.  Let’s first establish a definition of accountability.  I view accountability as the acknowledgement and assumption of responsibility for one’s actions/decisions and the resulting outcomes – be it positive or negative.  As agents for the shareholders or stakeholders of organizations, we all (from CEO to Analyst) have been provided the privilege and endowed with trust to run or participate in these organizations and create value (however that is defined).  In order to honor and preserve that privilege and trust, accountability (as defined above) is a must – not only for the sake of the organizations but also for the sake of your personal reputation.  Considering this, if you are a CYA organization or engage in CYA as an individual, then you are constantly faced with the fundamental conflict of being accountable or protecting yourself in the blame game.  And you’ll find that CYA usually prevails because everyone surrounding you in doing it!  Michael Hyatt has a great post on Leadership Accountability – see here.

Michael Krigsman, of ZDNet, sums it up best about IT project failures (our proxy to discuss productivity), “Most IT [project] failures are driven by hidden dynamics related to political, organizational, and cultural issues, but Machiavelli isn’t the answer.”  Raise your hand, if you agree with this statement?  (I anticipate all hands to go up now!).  In my humble opinion, one of the key factors or hidden dynamics contributing to project failures is CYA behavior and it manifests itself in the form of emails, public displays, meetings, etc.  All of this activity takes a lot of time and effort – valuable and high-demand resources that can be dedicated to doing more productive things.  Companies like Apple and Google that focus on innovation and growth are able to do so because of a keen focus and practice on these objectives as opposed to a focus and practice on office politics and/or counter-productive behavior.  Imagine Scenario A, ending a 60 minute meeting with nothing resolved where 50 minutes was dedicated to the blame game and now imagine, Scenario B ending a 30 minute meeting with an action plan/resolutions where the 30 minutes were dedicated to identifying the challenge/issue, accepting the root cause of the issue, working together to devise a solution, and walking away with an action plan.  Such work environments do exist – it takes one analyst or one team to be the example.

How do you transform your organization from a CYA culture to a Zero-CYA Tolerance culture?

The following bulleted list provides some initial thoughts on how to transform your organization from spreading CYA to instill Zero-CYA Tolerance culture:

    • Gain Leadership & Management Support.  Use the organization’s Executive Leadership and Sr. Managers to build a culture that focuses on accepting and learning from mistakes, moving forward and devising solutions, and promoting zero-tolerance for the blame game.
    • Reward exceptional behavior.   As humans, we tend to respond best to rewards/incentives.  Accordingly, if you want to promote positive behavior, then provide extrinsic rewards (bonuses, days off, praise/recognition, etc.) and encourage the individuals intrinsic rewards (self-motivation drivers that come from inside the person).
    • Lead by example.  A common solution to everything because it works!  As humans, we are all wired to be tribal; i.e., we all want to be part of and belong to a group.  Accordingly, the CYA nature may be spreading in your organization because the CYA tribe is the only option.  So, why not lead by example and create a new?  If you find CYA behavior frustrating, don’t become a part of the problem, lead by example and create the solution.
    • Make coaching & mentoring a priority.  Create an internal platform for coaching and mentoring.  Lots of companies promote their mentor ship models, but rarely does the marketing align with reality. Be different and make coaching & mentoring a priority.  Do this by making it a part of performance reviews/evaluations, allocate time (for leaders/managers) for coaching/mentoring in the HR policy, and finally provide the right coaching/mentoring by first, assessing the individual needs and then, delivering a customized configuration.
    • Document, improve & standardize your processes.  You can extract and limit the subjectivity, emotions, and interpretation factors in your organization by documenting, improving and standardizing your processes.  By doing this, you provide your organization not only a prescriptive approach or way of doing things and but also a platform and focus for continuous improvement.

Hope this helps!  Say No to CYA!  As always, please leave your feedback/comments – would love to hear your thoughts!

First National Real Estate Blog

At First National we put you first

How to renovate your home for less than $10,000

Large scale renovation has become a way of life for many property investors, however this should not deter first home buyers and people on a tight budget who also want to improve on their investment. As well as keeping on top of the general costs of home ownership, there are plenty of small things that can be done at low cost that, if done properly, improve not only the appearance, but also the value of your investment property or first home.

Where do I start?

The first step is to work out what you are unhappy with and what changes you can make that will actually make a difference to the value of your property. If you haven’t recently had a property appraisal, this can be a good way to get an outsider’s (and a professional’s) perspective on what needs to be done and where your money would best be spent. An agent can advise you on things that should most urgently be addressed and things that are not worth investing in. Then you can start to make a ‘To Do’ list based on their advice, but also fleshed out with the improvements you would like to make.

To manage your budget, it might be useful to split the list into upgrades and renovations. Upgrades could include things like repainting, new lighting, window dressings, floor coverings, door handles, taps, new plants etc. Basically, things that are more cosmetic than structural. Renovations are generally larger scale but might also include replacing kitchen benches, retiling bathrooms, adding customised storage solutions, along with perhaps knocking out a dividing wall, adding a new room or rebuilding half the house.

Once you have all the ‘things’ listed, you can then break that list down further into costs and time frames. Think about the things you can do for under $500, or under $2,000 and then what requires a larger investment – maybe $5,000 or more. You can then plan what jobs you can do in the near future and which ones might need to be postponed until you have a little more cash available.

How much can you afford to do now?

Obviously, renovations need planning and a greater investment than some simpler upgrades. But dividing up your priorities in this way means you can start on your list today. Sometimes it is just a matter of biting the bullet and jumping in. There may never be a time when you can afford to do everything you want to do, but starting small will get the ball rolling and the results can then inspire you to keep going. Upgrading small elements of a room can make a big difference to how it looks and feels – all in the course of an afternoon.

You might spend $20 at Kmart or Target on a pot plant or a picture frame, or $500 at Ikea or Bunnings on storage solutions, paint, taps, door and cupboard handles, or curtains – the key is to just get started with whatever you can afford today. While those small and motivating things are happening, you could start on some DIY renovations, or talk to tradespeople and get quotes and time frames for bigger jobs. Sometimes the small shopping will give you ideas for the bigger projects too – you wouldn’t be the first person to go to Ikea to buy a rug and come home with a custom flat packed kitchen.

Kitchens, bathrooms and laundries

Taking a room by room approach is a useful way to tackle your improvements from a practical and a financial perspective. However, there can also be some benefit to grouping similar jobs in together to maximise your opportunities. If you are upgrading then you might buy new handles, taps, or tiles for all of your wet areas at the one place to get a bulk order discount. If you are renovating the same applies - getting one plumber in to look at all your plumbing needs in one call out, is much more economical than getting them out multiple times and paying two or three call out fees.

In your wet areas, you should consider whether things can just be upgraded rather than totally replaced. New bench tops and tiles, extra storage, new fittings and fixtures and a fresh paint job could be all that’s needed and ends up much cheaper than knocking things down and rebuilding a whole new room from scratch. Your appraisal will be useful here – an agent can spot a death row kitchen or bathroom a mile away and a contemporary top of the range oven in a shabby 1960s kitchen does nobody any favours. If it looks like you are replacing or upgrading everything in the room then a full renovation may be a more efficient and cost-effective approach than the band aid that some upgrades can end up being.

Bedrooms, studies and living spaces

Though these are often simple rooms, there is a lot that can be done to improve them or in fact convert one in to the other. Start with floor, wall and window coverings – pull up old carpet and polish floorboards or concrete, freshen up paint or add a feature wall, buy new blinds or curtains. Upgrade light fittings and storage solutions and consider whether the spaces you have are being used in the best way possible. A 4-bedroom house with a study and a home cinema in 2 of the rooms may be much more attractive to the market than a home with ‘too many’ bedrooms.

Renovations can be game changers in these rooms too – knocking out a wall between two small bedrooms to make one master suite or second living space, brings more light and space into the home. Removing dividing walls between kitchen, dining and living rooms will offer an essential conversion of an older property into a more modern open plan version of itself. Adding extra windows, doors or skylights can also transform a space and make it much more functional and meaningful.

Don’t miss your bonus round

There are various grants, incentives and bonuses available to Australian homeowners, related to making improvements to properties. These vary from state to state, so it’s worth checking your local government website to see what you might be eligible for. In the Northern Territory for example, there are homeowner incentives for first home buyers (up to $2,000 towards household goods) and stamp duty rebates for your principal residence (up to $7,000 off stamp duty) that can be put away for future renovations and upgrades. It’s useful to check what energy rebates you may be eligible for too to reduce your costs on heating, cooling, lighting, water and electricity solutions.

Press Release: Ottawa County Parks seeks public input for proposed acquisition of dune property

Bookmark and Share

January 18 - for immediate release
Media Contact: Jessica VanGinhoven, Ottawa County Parks, (616) 738-4810

Ottawa County Parks seeks public input for proposed acquisition of dune property

Ottawa County Parks is offering multiple opportunities this winter for the public to provide input on the proposed purchase of 353-acres of dune property in the cities of Ferrysburg and Grand Haven.

The public input will inform the grant application process for the proposed acquisition, which is known the “Ottawa Sand Acquisition Project.”

The Ottawa Sand property is located on North Shore Drive near Lake Michigan. It includes 219-acres of state designated critical dunes, 5,585’ of Grand River frontage, and an 80-acre man-made inland lake. The sand mining site is bordered by publicly owned land, including North Ottawa Dunes and open-space dunes property owned by the City of Grand Haven.  If the purchase is able to be completed, the property would be the final piece of a 2,400-acre coastal corridor of Lake Michigan dunes that also includes P.J. Hoffmaster State Park and Kitchel-Lindquist-Hartger Dune Preserve.

Although the site has been an area of interest to the Parks Commission, the property was not expected to be available for years to come. This changed in the fall of 2017 when the property owner offered to sell the property based on an appraised value of $11.2 million and donate 25% of the land value to serve as grant match in a grant proposal to the State.

Therefore, Ottawa County Parks made the unprecedented step of submitting a $8.4 million grant application to the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund outside of the typical grant cycle. In December 2017, the Trust Fund Board recommended that a $4.2 million grant be awarded with an informal commitment to recommend the remaining amount in 2018 (depending on funding availability). The grant recommendation must be approved by the State Legislature and Governor.

Typically, the County Parks Commission would have sought public input in advance of the grant submittal but due the condensed time frame a meeting could not be held. However, the County Parks Commission would still like to encourage public input on the project and is offering three opportunities:

At the meeting in Ferrysburg, there will be brief presentation by Ottawa County Parks staff with additional details about the project. Following the presentation, the public will have an opportunity to provide input.

T-shirt to Tank

I love a craft project that saves me money instead of costs more!  You know the ones I mean.  The ones that give you a ton of gratification but until you buy all the odds and ends and the glue gun you lost track of you are spending waaaaaay more than anticipated.

This is a great craft for those t-shirts from high school or a trip that you can’t bear to throw away, but really don’t want to wear as is.  For me, this was a case of a trip to Disney where I wanted us all to have cute Mickey shirts, but I couldn’t find any that I liked that were good for 100 degree weather.  The solution?  An XL t-shirt from the little boys section for $8.99 – jackpot!

Check out the simple way I changed this shirt up to be lighter for the hot weather as well as a lot cuter!

  1.  Start by turning the shirt inside out so you can draw on it and not be as distracted by the print.

2.  Draw a design on the front and back of the t-shirt to have clean lines to follow.  For me, I used a liquid chalk marker that will wash right out. I made sure the neck was centered and drew a curve from the neck to the bottom of the arm pit on both the front and back.  I free-handed it, but you can easily use a plate to make a smoother line if need be.

3.  Next, use cloth scissors ( or a great new pair of other scissors) and using long smooth strokes, cut off the sleeves.  I found it best to start at the neck by poking a hoke to ensure that was done correctly.  Bonus when you are done?  Awesome hat for your kids…?

4.  Take one of the sleeves and cut off the finished hem edge to use as a clean bow/tie-back.

5.  Pull the sides of the back together and tie it with a bow.  If you want it to be a little fancier you could use a ribbon instead, but knowing this will be sweaty and going on rides all day, the cotton bow is perfect!

6.  Try it on and be amazed at your awesomeness and creativity!  You can always go the extra step and sew your cut lines, but with this look being in right now i am keeping it as is and am super happy with the results!

I don’t think anyone would guess that this is a little boys t-shirt and I am in love!  I know i have a whole bin full of old cheerleading T’s from high school I can rescue from my mom’s house and make some more for workout tanks.

I hope you enjoyed this and i’d love to see how you used this tutorial to make your own!  Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out on any new ideas coming out soon 🙂

Coyote at Burning Man, by Bryan Tedrick

I’m happy to include this piece of art in the blog. I think it is fantastic! I asked Bryan if he would write something about it and this is what he sent:

To understand why I made “Coyote” you first must have some idea of what Burning Man is. The festival takes place in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada and is attended by thousands of people who enjoy open spaces and the freedom to live freely, not unlike Coyotes themselves.

2013 was the 5th year of my receiving an art grant from Burning Man. In past work for Burning Man I had made insects, birds, snakes and architectural pieces but never a four legged animal. I am a professional sculptor and some of my most successful work includes life-sized horses, a bull, and a lion.

I decided to build “Coyote”, but on a monumental scale, for the event as it seemed the natural four legged animal given the context. At 26′ tall, this giant beast is climbable and has a rotating head that can turn into the wind. Weighing in at 7 tons, this steel and stainless steel creature will be with us for many years to come, as I am sure wild coyotes will be too.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the ‘buckeyes’ tag.

I am working on a bunch more pottery projects right now but here are a few of my recent ones that came out of the kiln.

I am currently working on this Neti Pot as a gift to my man. He requested one since our old one fell off the bathroom sink and broke.

Then there is the plate I fell in love with and almost, just almost, could not bring myself to selling. But alas, I will have to make more of these!

Then I made a special plate for a good friend of mine. I can’t say who because it is a Christmas gift surprise! But here is the plate. I handbuilt it, used a plastic doily to impress the pattern, covered the whole plate with floating blue glaze and wiped it off as to leave it only in the cracks, and clear coated it with a clear glaze.

And finally, I made a buckeye leaf platter for a good friend who is obsessed with football. For those of you who are not local Ohioans, the buckeye leaf and nut are both symbols for the Ohio State Buckeyes football team stationed here in Columbus, Ohio. You may hear people screaming “Go Bucks!” at random times when you are in Ohio. It happened to me one day when I first moved here from the East Coast that a random stranger guy screamed “GO BUCKS” to me and I just kind of stood there totally confused. Sometimes I still am confused, but alas, here is the Ohio State Buckeye platter, made using a real Buckeye Tree leaf.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Winter Solstice and beyond… Each day after December 21st promises to have more and more daylight gradually each day up until the Summer Solstice. Let’s enjoy the increased daylight and the wonderful winter season. May it be bright and full of merriment for everyone. I look forward to creating a ton more pottery this winter in preparation for the craft shows next year. We are planning ahead although we don’t know all the craft show dates just yet, and looking forward to an awesome and auspicious 2013!!!

Here’s our plans for shows so far…

Happy Solstice everyone!

cleanerR: How to Handle your Missing Data

How to deal with missing data?Based on the concept of almost functional dependencies, a method is proposed to fill missing data, as well as help you see what data is missing. The user can specify a measure of error and how many combinations he wish to test the dependencies against, the closer to the length of the dataset, the more precise. But the higher the number, the more time it will take for the process to finish. If the program cannot predict with the accuracy determined by the user it shall not fill the data, the user then can choose to increase the error or deal with the data another way.
