Only The Tough Get Going In Tough Times

By July 28, 2016 No Comments

S Srinivasan, CEO, SNN Builders Pvt. Ltd.

Established in 1994, SNN Builders Private Limited has completed over 40 projects covering more than a million square feet. The SNN Builders’ property development portfolio is diverse in scope and style, which has attracted end consumers and investors alike. SNN’s sound financial backing, availability of large resources and high level of management expertise have been their key competitive advantages. With a corporate philosophy to focus on balancing the evolving needs of a modern city while maintaining and conserving the environment has enabled SNN Builders to maintain a Green & sustainable approach.

The Managing Director of SNN Builders, Mr Nitin Agarwal and the CEO, Mr S Srinivasan took time to respond to queries on their business, philosophy and the state of the industry.

Q: What is keeping SNN Builders busy these days?Srinivasan SNN

Srinivasan: Having worked on Apple when I was with the advertising agency, TBWA, I am a big fan of Steve Jobs.  One of his famous quote is “Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do”.  With the real estate market being on a slow track these days in India, we at SNN are taking this as a blessing in disguise to ensure that we withstand this pressure.  When the going gets tough, the tough get going may be sounds a bit clichÃ©d, but it still remains very true.  It is no secret that at the moment there is a lot of uncertainty regarding the property market and it is not something most builders will talk about because it can negatively impact the business.  But the truth of the matter is that everything in life has its ups and downs, especially the property cycle.  At SNN, we have taken up the challenge of the reverse market situation and have become more aggressive in our approach on communication in the media and the decision is proving very good as the months of January and February has been pretty encouraging in terms of disposal of existing inventory.  Also this has given us an opportunity to look into all our existing systems and process and have come up with programmes what will take the company to the next level.

Q: What has been the driving philosophy behind the growth of SNN Builders?Nitin1

Nitin Agarwal: “Customer first” is a policy we live up to at every level in SNN and merely adding this to your vision statement is not enough.  Thinking like your customer is the first challenge, and delivering a positive customer experience is even harder.  Achieving this requires bottom-up approach and rethinking the way business is done.  And this, in turn requires a holistic approach that encompasses from every division starting from the front line sales to post sales CRM, Legal, Finance as well as insights to strategy and customer experience.  The other major philosophy which has made us grow so fast is “when in doubt disclose”, meaning if you have any issues that needs to be conveyed to customer first, we just do it, be it delay in deliverables, shortfall in quality etc., and try to immediately take a course corrective measures so that the issues are resolved rather than chewing on them and dragging it for ever.  The most important and the best part is any customer can easily have access to me or the CEO.  They are always welcome to have a cup of “SNN Lemon Tea” which is famous in Bangalore by now.

Q: How do you see the recent measures of providing housing for all by 2022 materialising?

Nitin Agarwal: According to a recent reliable report, India has a housing shortage of about 60 million units.  At present, annual investments going into the housing sector stand at about US$ 100+ billion.  By 2022, though India needs to develop about eleven crore housing units for which investors of more than US$ 250+ billion be required annually.  The figures seem to be mind blowing but in reality the government should make this happen with a seamless policy with clear clauses on subsidies and other defined norms, single-window clearance not for just affordable housing projects, but on all real estate projects be it any residential,  commercial or infrastructure developments that are planned by builders on pan-India level as this sector is one of the largest drivers of the country’s economic growth in terms of large-scale employment opportunities as well as contribution massively to the country’s GDP.

In short, it is a very good initiative by the Government to make this dream project come true but an aggressive “step-change” in this direction must come from the top brass of Indian Government.  It is possible and will give that required impetus to the sector, so let’s wait and see..

Q: Indian developers are not among the early adopters of sustainable practices. What is your view on this?

Srinivasan: At SNN we always say that Sustainability = less stress on the nature and environment i.e. how do we curtail damages on the environment?  Sustainable development is all about limiting the destruction of natural resources and consumption of its gifts and ensuring that we keep the planet green and alive.  There is no need to remove this mismatch between the actual development and the so called “big visions” and concepts like “Smart Cities” that are generally borrowed from the western world.  In general, India is by no means lagging behind and particularly cities like Bangalore make a real good attempt on sustainable development front.  The fact that the number of certified green buildings is surging over the past few years is a direct indication to the growing popularity of the “sustainability” concept.  Having said that, we have a lot of catching up with more developed countries to do and we, from the property developers fraternity want the Government and their respective agencies to be more active and come up with plans that are workable and if possible, provide some benefits or subsidies for such developments so that developers also take initiatives from their side to ensure that by 2022 we also stand closer to other countries on the “sustainability” front.

Q: Is there any specific focus area for the real estate in general and SNN Builders in particular during 2015?

Srinivasan: FY 2014 has been quite a fruitful year for the sector in terms of business sentiment and announcements by the government, though the real effect of many of the policies will show effect only in some time. Starting from Union Budget where affordable housing was considered on par with infrastructure to relaxation of rigidities in the land acquisition and RE regulatory bill, the Government has been offering the sector consistent doses of energy.

We are positive that FY 2015 onwards will be good for the real estate sector.  Now that the threat of inflation has subsided quite dramatically and the borrowing rates are sure to go down from the current levels, it’s all looking good for the property sector and this will for sure encourage potential buyers, be it end-users or investors to avail home loans to finally take the plunge.  Also, with the property prices currently staying stable and good deals being offered by developers in order to clear their inventory, the fence-sitting buyers be further encouraged to press the ‘buy’ button.

Another major development will be in the affordable homes.  With the budget echoing support to this segment through their vision to provide home for everyone, 2015 will see a major push on Affordable Segment pick up considerably.  So, to conclude, FY2015 onwards the real estate players need to be on the same path with the growing real estate market, more knowledgeable customers and need to adapt to a series of mega trends impacting society and the global economy in large and Indian economy in particular.  These mega trends include accelerating urbanization, developing projects in the growing rural areas, demographic shifts and the impact of disruptive technological advancements and changes.

Farmers lack access to relevant location and crop information that can allow them to improve revenue through increased productivity and higher outreach to the market. Most of the mobile-based solutions that have been developed in the past assume that farmers know what information they need and the syntax they have to use to retrieve the information. We have developed a platform that allows data to be pulled from different sources, organized and distributed to relevant subscribed farmers. vAIRS is an implementation of the platform that leverages the Technoserve database of the most efficient fertilisers for coffee productivity depending on the location and soil type. Subscribed farmers are able to receive precise fertiliser recommendations along with other relevant agronomy information depending on their location.

Start On Your Garden Today

Now is the time to begin preparing for the garden you want to have this summer. In most climates, you are in the midst of winter, and you may be wondering how it will ever get warm enough for the soil to nourish a garden! Rest assured that it will! You will be able to get out with your garden in no time.

Now, you may find yourself wondering what, exactly, you should be doing at this stage in the game. I am here to let you in on a few of the gardening planning efforts you can be making right now.

The first step is research, research, research. You should work on getting everything together. If you had a garden last year, ask yourself what you liked about it. What did you not like? What would you like to change? Decide if you will be expanding the garden, keeping it the same, or possibly even decreasing the size and scope of your garden. If you have never had a garden before, now is the time to begin looking for ways to make your garden a place where you can enjoy yourself and enjoy your time with nature. Spend some time at the library. Find out the basic information, such as what climate zone you live in, and begin to look at the various options you have. You will need to decide between flower, vegetable, herb, or perhaps a combination. Also keep your budget in mind. You can start a very small garden for $10, or you can have a large one for more.

Once you have the research down, you need to start planning. Get a list together of the seeds you want and what you need for each type of plant. Think about the watering requirements as well as the size of the plant and its root system when you begin thinking about the size of the containers you will need. You also should plan to go ahead and get the basic gardening supplies. For example, you will need a trowel (which looks like a small pitch-fork), and spade (small shovel), and a good pair of gloves. Those pieces are the minimum of the equipment you should get for your garden. Make a list and go shopping. Take your time and ask questions.

If you do not have a compost heap started, you are running behind! Never fear! You can purchase compost for this year and go ahead and start your own small compost pile. The easiest way to start a compost pile if you will have a very small garden is to use an old coffee tin or similar metal container. You can put anything organic, such as eggshells and cuttings from vegetables and fruits, into the tin. It will create its own heat and turn into compost. You will need at least six months to get good compost. If you want something larger, then you can search around online. There are a number of options available for you to build your own compost pile, but they all work on the same basic principle.

Finally, you should begin to work in your garden! If you can, try to begin tilling the land. Be sure that it is prepared for the upcoming gardening season. Check the Ph level and take care of anything that you need to do to get your soil prepared. Also drag out all of your equipment. Make sure that everything works and that you have everything you need. Many seeds prefer to germinate inside for up to 60 days, so if you live in a climate that will be warming up soon, you can definitely consider getting these seeds started now. Just find a dry place to put them and be sure that you water them regularly. Be aware that you will need to be careful when you transplant them to their permanent home.

You also can begin to put together some garden ornaments if you would like. You can add a little spice to your garden by getting inexpensive ornaments or wind chimes to add to your garden this year. Check out dollar stores or discount stores as they often have these items for very little money. Your garden can be more elegant this year if you begin planning now.

Federal Skilled Worker Program to Re-Open May 4, 2013

We’ve been posting quite a bit about how the Federal Skilled Worker Program has been temporarily halted while the government makes some changes to make the program more tuned-in to the Canadian economy and lower application processing times, which were exceeding several years.

Now, the government of Canada has officially announced the program will be re-opening on May 4th, 2013, and has also announced what those changes will be.

What are the changes to the Federal Skilled Worker Program?

The Federal Skilled Worker Program currently operates by awarding applicants with a series of “points” for their education level, language abilities, work experience and more. Some of the most significant changes the Canadian government is making in relation to these points is that more points will now be given for stronger language skills, Canadian work experience and those who are younger in age.

Language abilities will be the most important thing for applicants, with a new minimum language ability threshold having been set and points will now be awarded for applicants whose spouses have proficiency in English or French.

In addition, the government has created a program called the Educational Credential Assessment program, which will help them compare foreign credentials to Canadian ones more accurately.

Do you want to apply for the Federal Skilled Worker Program? It is a highly competitive program and there is likely to be a huge flood of applicants once the program re-opens. Do yourself a favour, and talk to a licensed immigration lawyer first.

Invention Makes Healthcare More Accessible to Immigrants

Dakshana Bascaramurty of the Globe and Mail reports on an interesting new trend in immigration healthcare: automatic translation. Currently, many doctors have difficulty communicating with patients who cannot describe their symptoms in English or French, or who cannot understand what a doctor is asking them. A new translation guide for doctors lets them ask a patient if they have symptoms by reading a phonetic spelling of the symptom in the patient’s language.

Immigrant access to healthcare

Getting an immigrant set up to receive healthcare is an ordeal on its own. It can be a complicated process and often requires the help of an expert. Even more challenging however, is making sure that healthcare, especially emergency healthcare, is accessible to immigrants. This new translation guide is a helpful start, but it does not address all the concerns that immigrants might have.

Culturally appropriate standards

Dr. Joel Ray, the researcher that made the translation guide, has also done research on the different standards that could be considered ethnocentric. For instance, caucasian babies have higher average weight than ethnic minorities, so assessing these minorities by the same standard could lead them to be mislabeled as underweight. Another example is that the risk for gestational diabetes is significantly different for people of different backgrounds.

Research being done in hospitals is a good start, but if Canada is going to provide accessible healthcare to immigrants of all different backgrounds, it will be important to scrutinize our healthcare system, which has historically dealt mostly with caucasian patients. Dr. Ray’s translation tool is a good start, but there is much more to be done.

Italian technology machine tools

IMT Intermato represents the best of the Made in Italy in the turning sector. Established in 1983 at Crosio della Valle, in Varese province, and located on an area that presently covers about 15,000 square metres, IMT Intermato has become a reference partner for the design and implementation of high speed CNC vertical lathes for the turning of metals, both small-size models mainly intended for the automotive industry and big-size lathes able to perform machining up to seven metres of diameter. In 1996 they implement the first automatic line for machining light alloy wheels, while in 2004 they overcome the threshold of one thousand machines installed, with a production of about one hundred machines per year. In 2005 they install the first automatic volume-manufacturing line for the machining of pistons in the automotive sector, In 2006 the products of the “Standard Line” VL range make their debut and finally in 2007 IMT-Procast Line was born, thus widening the range of turning centres up to over seven metres of turning diameter.

Today IMT Intermato is the main Italian manufacturer of CNC vertical turning, drilling and milling centres for light wheels for cars, motorbikes, industrial vehicles and for the aeronautical sector, too. The first target was the starting up of a widespread presence in Europe through direct branche with spare part magazine, after sale service and sale assistance, besides centres specialized in supplying the technical after sale service only. A presence today extended also to Asia, with subsidiaries in Shanghai, Indonesia, Korea, Singapore and China, thanks to the distributor Shanghai H&D Science Technology Trading Co. Ltd. in Shanghai for sales, after sale service and spare part warehouse. A development that has allowed IMT Intermato to become a leader in the field of machine tools specifically designed for machining aluminium wheels for cars, whose production exclusively takes place in Italy, a credit recognized on a world scale.
The production by IMT Intermato is subdivided into three main competence sectors. The first is represented by the vertical lathes of the WN series, mainly dedicated to the machining of light alloy wheels for automotive applications, for over twenty-five years the reference machines in the world for the machining of light alloy wheels. The lathes of the W series, manufactured in several hundred units mainly in the fouraxis palletized version, have given birth to the new generation of WN lathes with a wide range of machines for the sectors of wheels for motorcycles and for industrial vehicles.

VisitScotland Launch Campaign To Boost Tourism

VisitScotland has launched a campaign to boost tourism for Scotland and hope by promoting the diverse landscapes of Inner and Outer Hebrides, it will boost the number of visitors to the splendours of Scotland.

The new campaign will coincide with the conclusion of the nature documentary on BBC titled Hebrides: Islands on the Edge, which has already seen a number of enquiries from people wishing to visit Scotland thanks to the BBC.

The campaign will promote things to do and see in Scotland and according to reports, £50,000 is being spent on the campaign which VisitScotland believe will be a huge success.

Mike Cantlay, Chairman of VisitScotland, said: ‘The Inner and Outer Hebrides have given a wonderful backdrop for our Year of Natural Scotland 2013 campaign, which has been boosted enormously by the Hebrides: Island on the Edge programme. We know that scenes from TV and film have direct impact on visitors’ potential holiday destinations, and our activity over the coming weeks seeks to capitalise on this.’

‘The series has been a great success both on BBC1 Scotland and on UK wide BBC2,’ said Nigel Pope, executive producer of Hebrides: Islands on the Edge.

‘A growing awareness of how important the Islands are to wildlife and conservation is a very positive outcome of the series. If more people visit the Islands to see the wonderful wildlife at first hand, that has to be good for the Hebrides. We are now also looking forward to distributing the series internationally with ITVGlobal who will also be working closely with VisitScotland in taking the programmes to tourism and programming markets across the world,’ he added.

With more people looking to stay in the UK for their holidays rather than travel abroad, Scotland could be the idea holiday destination, but bosses at VisitScotland are hoping not just to attract tourism from the UK, they also want to aim further afield and bring tourist to Scotland from America and other far away places.

8 Essentials To Write A Western Wedding Invitation(Groom-&-Bride-to-be Must Read)

wedding invitation cards samples

wedding invitation cards samplesIn the last article we’ve talked about the things you should know about writing a Chinese wedding invitation.

But compared to the Chinese one…

…more to-be-weds would like to choose the western one, especially young couples.

It’s mainly because the western wedding invitation has varied style, not just with red…gold…or purple…

But Vintage… Watercolour… Modern… Whatever you like!

Also, the rules of western wedding invitation are much simpler and straightforward than the Chinese one.

Although you can personalize your wedding invitation, there are still basic elements that should be included no matter what.

The invitation is representing you to give your guest all the must-know-information,

To help guide you, INES WEDDINGS is going to share 8 essentials to write a wedding invitation with you.

1.Format of the Invitation

Before you start wording, have a look on what elements should be included on the invitation.

Don’t miss any of it, and place them in order (from the Top to the Bottom).

A. Monogram: a traditional western wedding pattern.

B. Host Name: who send the invitation?

C. Wedding Activity: you can use the word: Wedding Ceremony, Wedding Banquet, Marriage, etc.

D. The Bride & Groom: Bride’s name always precedes the groom’s name.

E. Time & Date: Day>Date>Time

F. Venue of your wedding: name & address of the venue

G. Post-wedding Activity: if there’s any party after your registration ceremony

H. Others: RSVP, dresscode

Now we will talk about the key elements in details! Don’t miss it!

2. Wedding Monogram

wedding invitation card templateA customized monogram can make your invitation unique and special.

The joint monogram usually combining the bride’s and the groom’s initials, placed on the top of the invitation.

But whose initials go first? And which letter goes in the middle?

Let’s figure it out now!

There’s are usually 3 options for you to create the monogram:

Option 1: If you are taking your groom’s last name.

The monogram consists of your first initial, your groom’s last initial, then his first initial, placed in a line from left to right.

The middle letter is larger than those on the sides.

Or, you can choose for a single initial—the first letter of his last name.

Option 2: If you’ve decided to keep your last name

Feature your first and last initials, followed by your groom’s first and last initials to crate a four-letter monogram.

The middle two letters would be larger than the two on the sides.

Option 3: A simple one

Use the bride’s first initial, followed by an “&”, and the groom’s first initial.

3. Cover of the invitation (the guests’ title)

wedding invitation cards samplesYou may not familiar with the titles in English and that’s the common mistakes the HK couple made in their wedding invitation.

It will be embarrassed or even rude if you make a mistake on your guests’ title…

So let’s get clear on it:

A. Married Couple

It is proper to use “Mr. and Mrs. (the husband’s first name)”.

B. Single Female

It’s proper to use “Ms XXX” if she is over age 16, while “Miss XXX” is acceptable if she is younger.

C. Unmarried Couple Living Together

In this case,  address the male first, followed by the female: Mr. XXX and Ms. XXX.

However, in tradition, the word “and” was used to represent a marriage.

Although this rule is no longer applies, some of you may still want to write it in traditional way, here it is:

First line: Ms. XXX

Second line: Mr. XXX

D. Divorced Female Who Kept Her Married Name

After a divorce, a woman might keep her married name and you can use Mrs. or Ms. to address the guest and use her first name.

E. Divorced Female Who Uses Her Maiden Name

Woman often stops using her husband’s last name after a divorce, so it is proper to use Ms. or Mrs.

F. Same Sex Couple

You can address either guest first or put them in alphabetical order:

Mr./Mrs. XXX and Mr./Mrs. XXX

G. Widow

A widow usually keeps her husband’s name until she is remarried.

However, some of them may prefer to use their own first name so it’s better to ask for her preference.

Mrs. (husband’s/guest’s name)

H. Both the married couple are Doctor/ The wife is Doctor

If both guests are doctors, but the female guest has chosen to keep her last name, it’s prefer to address her first and then her husband.

e.g. Doctor XXX(Female) and Doctor XXX(Male)

If the wife is a doctor but her husband is not, write it in this way: Doctor XXX(female) and Mr. XXX(male).

NOTE: Do Not make it an abbreviation “Dr.”.

4. The Host Line

wedding invitation card designIn Hong Kong, it is common that both the bride’s and groom’s parents are the hosts of the wedding, in this case you can write the host line as the following:

“Together with their parents, (Bride’s name) and (Groom’s name) request the pleasure of your company…”

However, in the following cases you need to rearrange the wording a bit to make it appropriate.

A. Any parents are deceased and you want to include the name of them

Here is the example:

“Whitney French, daughter of Mr. Elisa French and the late Ivan French,

Swain Mahoney, son of Mr. Andy and Olivia Mahoney, request the honor of your presence at their wedding…”

B. Any parents are divorced and/or remarried

If the bride or groom’s parents are divorced and you want to include them both as the hosts, just put them on a separate line.

And if you want to include the name of stepparent, keep in on the same line.

Here is the example of a bride with divorced and remarried parents’ wedding invitation wording:

“Dr. Avis and Elisa Gregory

and Mr. Jefferson Abner and Josephine Abner

and Mr. Ringo and Clara Hyland

invite you to the wedding of their children

Winnie Abner and Alex Hyland…”

5. The Request Line

There are usually 3 ways to ask for the pleasure of your guests’ company.

A. If you and your spouse are religious (Christian/Catholic)

It is essential to write it in traditional way if you are religious.

i. Must use “request the honour of your presence…” as the request line

ii. Writing in third person, use “They/Their” instead of “We/Our”.

B. If you and your spouse are non-religious-Formal Version

i. Use “request the pleasure of your company“ as the request line.

ii. Writing in third person.

C. If you and your spouse are non-religious-Formal Version

i. No specific word, as long as it is smooth. e.g.. “would love for you to join…”

ii. It’s acceptable to write in either first/third person.

NOTE: if you and your spouse are non-religious but your wedding will be held in a worship place, you have to write the invitation in formal way.

6. Date and Time

wedding invitationFor formal invitation, you should write the time and date in FULL.

  • Use “In the morning/ afternoon/ evening” instead of “a.m./ p.m.”
  • Time of day is spelled out using “o’clock” or “half after X o’clock”e.g. “Sunday, the twenty-third of March, Two thousand and sixteen at half-past three o’clock in the afternoon.”

For informal invitation, you can write in a casual way:

  • Can use numerals
  • The use of a.m. and p.m. is optionale.g. “Sunday, 23th March, 2016, 3:30 p.m.”

NOTE: if you and your spouse are religious or your wedding will be held in a worship place, you have to write the invitation in formal way.

7. Reception Information

If the ceremony and reception are held in the same location, you may print

“Reception immediately following” / “Reception to follow” / “Banquet to follow” right under the location.

If the reception is elsewhere, the location and time goes on a different line.

Usually you can print the reception information on the wedding invitation…

But if you are going to make it a very formal invitation, you have to include this information on a separate card.

8. Other Information—RSVP & Dress Code

There are usually 2 options of having people respond to your invitation:

Option 1 is to include a separate response card for guests to fill out and return in the mail.

Option 2 is to have people RSVP via email.

Most couples in Hong Kong chooses the Option 2, in this case…

Just remember to include the following sentence in the end of the invitation

“Please RSVP by e-mail to xxx@xxx.com

Dress Code

If there’s any dress code for your wedding, include on the invitation to tell the guests—

At the lower right hand corner OR middle of the bottom. （After the RSVP line)

Double Check, Make it Perfect, Make it Beautiful

wedding invitation cardsThe invitation represents you, your love, and it shares the happiness.

Make it perfect, make it beautiful.

Do you want to receive a wedding invitation with your name spelled wrong?

I bet you don’t.

double check after your final wording,

Did you included all the must-know-information on it? Are the titles of the guests appropriate? Is there any spelling mistakes? …etc.

Just make sure there’s ZERO mistakes.

As once the invite goes out, whatever is in it, is set.

On this day in ...
... 1899, representatives of 26 states concluded a conference they'd begun more than 2 months earlier, on May 18, by adopting the Final Act of the 1st Hague Peace Conference. Russian Czar Nicholas II had convened the meeting, which came about after "[t]he various peace societies led by the indefatigable Baroness Bertha von Suttner, kept up a veritable drum roll of urgings and entreaties." The conference concluded with the adoption of several instruments, among them the 1899 Hague Convention (II) with Respect to the Laws and Customs of War on Land.

His was not the 1st frozen-food product, but it was the 1st to maintain an acceptable level of the taste of the vegetable in the course of the freezing process. It also appears, perhaps coincidentally, that today is National Housewives Day. Birdseye, who died 4 years later, was the subject of a highly publicized biography, published just this past May.

New Tools for Bond Shopping

Post-publication note:  After this column ran in print, TD Ameritrade, which had previously exclusively licensed the Knight BondPoint technology, forced TradeKing to remove the questionnaire referred to below.  We will run an update in the 5/18/09 column.

FED UP WITH VOLATILITY? JUST WANT TO PARK your money in a conservative fixed-income holding and not worry about it? Online broker TradeKing ( recently announced an expansion of its fixed-income search capabilities, achieved by teaming up with Knight BondPoint, which provides electronic access to fixed-income inventory.

The TradeKing Bond Wizard features five questions, on desired yield, tax status, desired rating, time to maturity and how much you’d like to invest. After you’ve specified what you’re looking for, the Wizard displays a list of bonds or certificates of deposit that match your criteria. An interactive table of fixed-income investments shows a snapshot of the entire fixed-income marketplace and what yields are available in a variety of time frames. Click on a yield to drill down for more detail about that particular item. Only TradeKing clients can access this feature.

TradeKing’s commissions for bond trading are $4.95 per bond, with a minimum of $14.95 per transaction. Treasuries and CDs are $24.95 per transaction.

“As investors strive to preserve capital and create balanced portfolios, we’ve seen a new wave in the growth of fixed-income investing,” says Don Montanaro, TradeKing’s chief executive officer. “These new tools will be especially helpful to investors seeking a way to quickly search thousands of fixed-income choices to find the bond or CD with the yield and time frame that best rounds out their portfolio,” he notes.

its customers feel about the markets every quarter, and its late April survey of 360 retail options and equities traders shows an overall lessening of despair. Twenty-eight percent of options traders and 16% of equities traders described themselves as either “bearish” or “very bearish”; but that’s down from 36% for both groups in January 2009. The current figures represent the lowest percentage in bearish sentiment since April of 2008.

Those surveyed shifted their trade triggers from political to economic, stating that quarterly earnings announcements were more influential in their decision-making than were the new administration’s programs and promises. Traders also are eyeing consumer spending and U.S. unemployment claims. All these trade triggers represent a change from a year ago, when oil prices and interest rates were the two top concerns.

Notes Montanaro: “Given the high degree of volatility in the markets today, we know there is a tremendous amount of uncertainty still out there among investors.... But what we see and hear from our clients is that there’s a sense of optimism, and a belief that opportunities exist for investors in this climate, if you’re willing to look for them.”

MAKE A PLAN: Simplifi, a Winston-Salem, N.C.-based outfit, has launched a financial-planning tool at its Website, Currently in beta-testing, the site is free to users. It appears to be aimed at those who don’t want to spend a lot of time with a calculator when deriving a financial plan and is, as its name implies, simple.

When you’re setting up your plan, you enter approximate figures for, say, your checking-account balances, the value of your home, and other assets. You don’t need to enter any account numbers or passwords, which is appealing from a security point of view, but means that you will have to update the figures manually when you want to review your plan at some later date. As you go along, Sophie, a virtual financial planner, offers advice and guidance.

Each goal you set, such as saving for a child’s college education or your own retirement, is graded with a goal-point average (GPA) from A+ to F. The GPA is based on a formula that calculates how much your financial goals will cost over time, and what you are currently saving to reach those goals. If you want to improve your GPA, you must either save more or pay off debts, or remove or lower the cost of some of your goals.

Simplifi makes money when you purchase a product from one of its partners that can help you implement one (or more) of your action items. The Website might be too simple for some of our sophisticated Barron’s readers, but if you don’t have a plan in place at all, consider checking it out.

Keep watch on the Securities and Exchange Commission from Twitter; the commission now has three Twitter feeds: new (SEC—news), investor education (SEC—investor—ed) and a jobs listing (SEC—jobs) The news feed, for instance, breaks stories such as insider-trading charges.

If you want to keep up to the minute on swine flu, be sure to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Twitter feed at CDCemergency.

I started carving in Belfast in 1980 originally as some light relief from the tensions of the time. An early introduction to bog wood  quickly turned to an obsession and I have experimented with the material ever since. I have exhibited regularly in Ireland, Northern Europe and USA since my first solo show in Kennys (Galway) in 1991.

About the Wood

It’s the ancient nature of the timber that intrigues and confuses … a 5,000 year-old wood buried and preserved in the extensive bogland of Ireland. Some of these ancient trees died due to climatic changes, others due to the farming techniques of our stone age ancestors. Thousands of years later, they re-appear due to turf-cutting, drainage and occasionally, tidal action. Bog Oak, Bog Pine and Bog Yew.

That’s when I find them…..The bog wood seems to emit a haunting power – the perfect medium for a sculptor’s imagination who chooses to work with the material. Such treasures refuse to be forced.        ronniegraham@eircom.net

Brexit has increased hopes for Irish unity but is not ideal for creating a stable 32-county state

Posted By: December 09, 2017

Arlene Foster described the difference between Monday’s draft and the final agreement as “substantial”, while Leo Varadkar said there had merely been “stylistic changes in language”.

John Manley.Irish News. Belfast. Saturday, December 9, 2017
The public’s suspicion is naturally aroused when all sides in a negotiation claim to be satisfied with the outcome, but then politics is said to be about the art of compromise.

It’s important to point out, however, that the deal announced early yesterday morning in Brussels is a principles-based, political agreement and not a legally-binding document. It provides the parameters for future negotiations rather than a rigid framework, which is why the language is often deliberately ambiguous.

The deal serves an important purpose though, in that it enables the UK’s withdrawal from the EU to advance from the state of limbo that has existed since June last year. Whether you agree with the referendum decision or not, uncertainty is in nobody’s best interests.

No doubt there’ll be more high drama and brinkmanship over the coming months but for now, the two sides remain on talking terms at least, and yesterday’s agreement surely lessens the possibility of Britain driving off a cliff with no deal.

How much the revised text differs from the one the DUP rejected in dramatic fashion on Monday remains a source of some debate but in contrast to the megaphone exchanges of recent weeks, the argument is being couched in more diplomatic language. Arlene Foster described the difference between Monday’s draft and the final agreement as “substantial”, while Leo Varadkar said there had merely been “stylistic changes in language”.

DUP sources say its misgivings were overcome “through additions rather than deletions”.

Mrs. Foster’s party[DUP] has clearly lobbied for written reassurances about Northern Ireland’s constitutional status, which until a Border poll proves otherwise, is a given, though their inclusion does help the party sell the agreement to its more Eurosceptic elements.

Much kudos meanwhile must go to the Dublin government, which held its bottom line about no hard border without having to make a major concession elsewhere. The backing of 26 other EU states made the job easier but its firmness – wrongly characterized by the DUP as aggression – ensured Dublin kept its home front well guarded.

But arguably the greatest triumph from yesterday’s, as yet unnamed, the agreement is the groundwork it lays for a soft Brexit. The UK government’s lack of a clear strategy for leaving the EU was laid bare this week, suggesting it is reluctant to confront the true consequences of severing ties with Brussels. While there are elements within the Tory party – and within the DUP – who would happily throw caution to the wind and exit the EU without any sort of deal, thankfully those with the upper hand at the moment are more pragmatic and may even regret the referendum outcome.

With the DUP’s insistence on no divergence for Northern Ireland from the UK as a whole, coupled with across the board desire for a frictionless border, Britain has been maneuvred into a position where the prospects of broader regulatory alignment with the EU in the future are increased. The name ‘Customs Union’ is unlikely to be employed but a localized trading bloc involving Ireland and Britain is one potential outcome. It can be argued that the UK negotiators weren’t entirely passive in this process and used Northern Ireland as cover for initiating a soft Brexit.

Disappointingly for some, the agreement may also have the effect of putting the brakes on the recent surge in nationalist optimism which regards the negative fallout from Brexit as an opportunity to push for Irish unity. Sinn Féin has been most vocal in this regard and its reticence in the aftermath of yesterday’s deal spoke volumes.

While there is merit in the argument that a hard Brexit would increase the likelihood of Irish unity, it hardly provides the ideal circumstances for creating a stable 32-county state.

Dialogue State Tracking for Conversational Image Editing.

PhD student
Friday, October 5, 2018 - 12:30pm - 1:00pm

In this talk, I’ll discuss the “conversational image editing”, a novel real-world application domain combining dialogue, visual information, and the use of computer vision. I will specifically focus on designing one of the main components of the system including Natural Language Understanding and State Tracking. State tracking refers to exploiting distributions over the user's goal at every step in the dialog as they are making edits to an image. I will further discuss the findings and challenges specific to this application domain.

Transport Canada to enforce seatbelts on highway buses

First published17/07/2018
Seatbelts will become mandatory on all medium and large highway buses built from 1 September 2020 in Canada, following new safety rules established by Transport Canada.

The government department develops transportation regulations, policies and services.

Marc Garneau, minister of transport, says: “By having seatbelts on highway buses, we can help reduce injuries in severe collisions, such as rollovers, and improve safety for everyone.”

Medium and large buses weigh over 4,536 kg. Smaller buses already feature lap and shoulder belts.

More information is available on the website.

Please exit the stadium in a calm orderly manner

5789872So yeah, politics in America today… I think it’s just a big-ass football game with the red team vs. the blue team, and the object of the game is to keep everyone in the stands, rooting for whichever team they were taught to root for, while the really big earth moving machines change the real landscape outside. These machines don’t give a rat’s ass if blue wins or if red does.

I’ve been watching this game for years, being a child of the Nixon age. I have a clear favorite team in this game, because I do think there are many shades of evil, and you know, I prefer being Chaotic Good usually, when I play stuff. But the things going on outside this stadium are the things I’m afraid to face, to learn about. Which means, of course, that I’m learning about them. Our country has committed, and is committing heinous acts here and around the world in the name of freedom, all while we vote over our rights to retain certain freedoms we assumed we’d always have.

To keep us “safe” our government has suspended a lot of the rights we used to have, or thought we had. Things like privacy, free speech, not being tortured or held without charges… Very big deals. Also, drones scare me, and nobody talking about them scares me more. Have we learned nothing from all the best SciFi out there? These things are killing people on “our behalf” – keeping us safe by attacking weddings and funerals in the mountains of Afghanistan… And then we think we have the right to be outraged when these people hate America. Wouldn’t you hate a country that used machines to fly in and kill innocent people? Here at home we call that terrorism.

I’ve always contended that most of the SciFi stuff I grew up reading and watching will happen, or has or is already happening, somewhere. The same goes for crazy conspiratorial stuff like Orwell’s 1984. But you know, ignorance really is bliss, right? And Soylent Green isn’t the worst way to end up…

But I’ve seen Conspiracy Theory and many like it, so really, this was all a joke. This looks like a really good game. Who’s winning? Go Team Blue!

P.S. I’m not linking anything on purpose, but I encourage heavy use of Google.

What do you think?

Green Jobs: Not For Men Only

The bright spot on the economic recovery horizon is green jobs. Community colleges are partnering with Workforce Investment Boards to provide education/training to prepare the workforce for this new sector. But is it so new?

At a conference panel I recently attended, many of the green jobs being discussed were in power plant and construction-related occupations.  Women, who represent less than 10% of workers in these areas, have been trying to break in for years with little progress.

In 1993, I collected data on the small percentage of women in U.S. Department of Labor School-To-Work sites and testified before Congress.  Wow, here we are 17 years later and green jobs – the crown jewel of job training – is likely to have less than 10% females.

When asked how many women work in the power plant, the panelist replied, “One very hardy woman.”  We don’t need a lone “hardy” woman.  What we need is a unified program of change, similar to IWITTS’ achievements with the CalWomenTech Project.  We work with eight community college technology programs to develop their capacity to recruit and retain women.  The Project is being highlighted by the National Science Foundation for effective practices.

It’s 2010.  It’s just not acceptable to have women vastly underrepresented in green jobs and IWITTS can help.  I’ll be sharing our proven practices in an upcoming WomenTech Training on Feb 18/19 in the San Francisco Bay Area. We’re offering great group rates, including a  3-for-2 special and discount for groups of 10 or more.   Hope to see you in February!

Funding for Green Jobs Training

 Green jobs are a priority at the U.S. Department of Labor (U.S. DOL). The department believes that strong partnerships “are the key to the country’s success in strengthening not just training programs but also employers and industries” and “that’s why the training initiatives at the Department of Labor frequently involve strong partnerships with community colleges, local businesses, and workforce development boards.”

In fact, over $305 million in grants were awarded by U.S. DOL in 2009 to support training for green jobs.  And just this month it announced $100 million in Energy Training Partnership Grants and another $150 million in “Pathways Out of Poverty” grants to help disadvantaged populations find employment in energy-efficiency and renewable energy industries.  This month’s grants are part of a larger Recovery Act initiative totaling $500 million — the department expects to release funding for two remaining green grant award categories this year.

Community colleges are already collaborating with workforce development boards to take advantage of grant dollars for green jobs, and there is a good chance that U.S. DOL is looking to partner with more educational institutions in 2010. So keep an eye on the U.S. DOL website for more funding opportunities in green jobs training!

Is There a War on Christmas?

Is the real issue hidden beneath a catchy headline “the war on Christmas?”

A war on Christmas is a war against what we call a decorated tree. It is a war against what we call the school break that arrives each year around Christmas time. It is a war against public display of Christian themed decorations. It is a war of political correctness of whether one should wish you a Merry Christmas, offer you a sanitized season’s greeting, or refer to an alternative list of faith based and made up celebrations, all so as not to offend. To that extent, I suppose you can conclude that there is a war about defining the holiday.

The war is not against Christmas. The war is against Christ, against Christianity, and against Christians.

God gave us many gifts. He created the heavens and the earth and Charles Darwin. He is the one source of freedom, the principle on which our nation was founded. He gave us his Son, whose birth we celebrate on December 25, a date established by men rather than by the actual event.

For Christians, everyday is a celebration of the birth of Christ.

I might be a cynic and most certainly I have a biased point of view, but do you really believe that people around the world would flock in droves to their favorite market place to purchase winter solstice presents. So, God gave us another gift important to our survival. Celebrating the birth of Jesus helps businesses turn a profit each year and as a result keeps many millions of people employed. The employed are able to support their families and purchase the goods that are produced in our waning environment of economic freedom. Without His celebration, the current economic ruin brought to us by politicians would be infinitely more disastrous. Clearly, He does a better job stimulating the economy than any politician’s fictitious stimulus plan. Of course, that means little to the men longing to replace God in our lives.

The war on Christianity is not reserved for one day or one season of the year. It is continuous. I recommend that your read David Limbaugh’s book, Persecution.

Do you recall when George Bush during debates responded with Jesus Christ when asked who the most influential figure in his life was? He publicly professed his faith, although there are pundits who questioned it, and was not timid about it. He was not afraid to state that he prayed to God for guidance. The liberals and many squeamish establishment types openly questioned whether a president should “wear his Christianity on his sleeve.” I always thought that wearing it on your sleeve was a curious expression. Obviously, it is preferable to liberals that one hide his true identity from scrutiny while seeking public office, unless maybe he is atheist or homosexual.

Politicians routinely profess their faith because all of the polls indicate a Christian believing majority resides in the United States of America. For most liberals and other pundits, this does not raise any eyebrows or elicit wearing it on your sleeve comments. Professional athletes have been crossing themselves before stepping into the batter’s box and pointing skyward when slugging a homerun for ages. Could it be they are grateful for steroids? Could they be praying that they not get a nasty breaking fork ball? I do not profess to know their hearts. Football players have been taking a knee in the end zone in a prayerful pose for quite some time now – just before the dance and spike. But, when Tim Tebow did it the liberal pundits were beside themselves. Why does he insist on wearing it on his sleeve?

Why do you reckon the response was different for President Bush and Tim Tebow than it is for others? It is simple really. Faux Christianity does not frighten or threaten liberal beliefs, atheists and moral relativists. The real deal does.

If you profess Christianity with a political wink or if your body is covered in tattoos and all of your hair does not fit inside your hat, your pose may well be just that – a pose. Again, I do not profess to know anyone’s heart, but be assured no one will ask you why you wear it on your sleeve. It is when your Christian walk matches your talk that you become threatening to the many facets of moral relativism one encounters in free America. You are a challenge to the liberal America that insists other groups of people wear their identities on their sleeves.

Just one final thought that may highlight our national direction. Hillary Clinton announced to the United Nations Human Rights Commission (an oxymoron by the way) the President’s national strategy for the protection of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LBGT) rights. I support the protection of the basic human rights of any person, but I do not recall such a national proclamation of support when the Egyptian army was killing Coptic Christians or for any of the many documented cases of Christian persecution and murder in Islamic states. Maybe we are no longer a Christian nation – or at least not Christian led.

Pray that God gives Tim Tebow the strength he needs to resist the multitude of temptations most assuredly headed his way.

The war is on Christ. Christmas is just one battleground.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.

Merry Christ-mas, Mr. President: An Open Letter to President Obama
