There's nothing quite like hearing new Bruce for the first time. No other artist will ever make me feel this way. Don't ever stop Bruce. Music needs you.

Just my opinion but I really think his standards have dropped over the last decade or so. There's no way a younger Bruce releases bang average pop rockers like this. I mean it's ok but this wouldn't get near a release in the 70s or 80s.

I'll also note the term "crowd," which is a strange term to describe trees. I'd expect him to say "canopy" or forest or, if he were feeling really pretentious, a bluff or a copse. Bruce thinks in terms of the "crowd" though, and the trees become an audience for him to bear witness to the experience of writing the letter. The song then becomes a kind of performance itself. Bruce performs the act of writing for a crowd of trees, and what he's writing are his songs, which he performs for us. And this song brings the two together: the writing of the letter will be itself a performance when, God willing, we get to see him perform this live on tour.

I just think I like it, at first listen it convinces me. 40 years have passed since I bought "The river" I have aged and he too, I no longer run at night in the car, my children are leaving the house (3 me too) I age with my body complaining, but the head is happy with what I have done so far. I'll be a grandfather next step. Bruce continues to sing what he lives and likes, if that's okay, if not we buy other people's records we don't have to spend money on an old rocker. I buy the record.

I'm not exactly sure what a bang average rocker is (I'm assuming it's an average rock song?) but I think the River has several of them.
On a different note, the beginning drum has been annoying me because I couldn't think of what it was reminding me of. Finally hit me this morning that it is Leap of Faith.

Agree, but eventhough I wish it was still 1978, it's not, & he's not 28 anymore, he's 71. Do you really expect him to put something out lyrically of the caliber of the 70s/80s? This is probably as good as it gets for right now, & it's good. Certainly better than his last few efforts.There's nothing wrong with "good pop/rock", especially considering with what's currently playing on commercial radio & MTV.

Well, he did last year, at 70. But I guess the main aspect of this new project is the live in the studio spontaneity. If it's true that in wrote the new material over a month or so, I wouldn't expect deep / high quality lyrics.

Bruce's recording and songwriting career has basically been his own life story. His songs and albums through the years have reflected the part of his life he was in both at that time and occasionally looking back to his teenage years and his childhood. He has written about the people he knew, the characters he encountered, the environment he was in, and the great and unique thing about him is that this has been universal. His songwriting has been one long essay on the whole human condition from childhood to old age with an American backdrop but universal in it's appeal. We all go through and experience these things.
He has chronicled his life, and now he is in his 70's he is writing about very different things and in a very different way to what he was in his 20's and 30's. The great thing about Bruce is that he has done so many varied types of styles in his records and they all have in my opinion, a magical appeal. When people ask me what my favourite era of Bruce's career is I can't tell them. He was a young, explosive dynamo in the 70's and early 80's, became more reflective in the late 80's and 90's. His post 2000 material has been astonishing. He has released some of the best albums of his career in the later part of his career, and especially recently when we were lucky enough to get another masterpiece in Western Stars. It's his variation in styles, his willingness to try new things, the sheer quality of his songs. So I don't think his standards have dropped at all. I just think he has changed his style of writing to adapt to the way the world has changed and how he has changed as he has got older.

Right. Some people expect every song to be a mix of Hemingway and the Beatles. He writes some great lyrics but sometimes he just wants to rock and that is what this sounds like. It sounds like good music to drive to (like Crush on You for instance, which isn't inspiring any particular deep thoughts from people listening but is a damn good rock tune) which is fine and a massive improvement over the last product.

Absolutely right. This type of song would not have got near a release of his in the 70's and 80's for this very reason.
I see why you say this. Bruce wrote so much amazing material from this period, a good deal of it discarded, left off albums, or performed only rarely because they didn't quite meet the standards or they didn't fit the album theme. The songs then were filled with a hunger, a longing, an angst. And many of them were great. Artists are lucky to get a one "Born to Run," but we got "Darkness" after it and the "River" and so on.
Others have suggested this already, but I'm not sure it's a fair comparison. A person in their 70s looks back and tries to make peace and sense of the journey because there isn't much road left to travel.
Our culture romanticizes youth; we become obsessed with artists who burn out, die young, or walk away when the youthful fire burns out. We don't get too many examples of artists who actually get old and talk openly about it.I think it's a remarkable thing to have watched Bruce age and write about that experience. I'm sure it's not unique, and there are other examples. I for one loved watching Sinatra sing when we was old; there was a beauty to what he was doing in all of its imperfections and failure to live up to his youthful efforts. It took some remarkable courage to show his frailty.
People do lose things as they get older, they lose their acumen, their ability to run and walk and slide across the stage and his high notes and tie their shoes. This is a natural part of life, and it's one that happens to us all. But that doesn't also mean that what older people say and do and create isn't valuable. It's just not the same.
I don't know what the album will bring, but the song's simplicity in its lyrics and its chord progressions, as well as the no-frills recording suggests a rawness and openness about the frailty and fragility of human life and creativity.

I've been scratching my head over this one too. The full lyric is "'neath a crowd of mongrel trees I pulled that bothersome thread."
Take this with a few heaps of salt: I see Bruce as setting the stage for where he wrote the letter. The focus is on him and his experience writing the letter. Trees in general provide a respite from the hot sun, a place to sit and rest and reflect, a being that provides us nourishment (as in fruit for us to eat as well as oxygen to breathe), and of course the knowledge of Good and evil and the Fall of Man. These are the themes of course he explores and he lives to explore the ambivalence in those things. Work and love, for example, give us life also bring us pain and hurt (think "Factory")
I read this line not as Bruce sitting under one "mongrel" tree, but under many different kinds of trees, possibly on many occasions writing many different letters (hence the "crowd"). Sometimes those trees bring nourishment and sometimes they bring the fall of man. In either case, he's pulling the thread and finding it's all interwoven.
In this case, you might argue that the "crowd" is mongrel and not the tree. Probably. There's a literary device known as a "transferred epithet" where an adjective qualifies one noun, but its sense really belongs with another. We do this all the time without thinking too much about it. A common example people give is "he spent many a restless night..." it's not the night that's restless, it's the person who is restless.
As I read "the letter," what he means is his whole body of work. Its actually multiple letters, which require multiple trees.
Or...something else. It wouldn't be the first time one of my wild interpretations of something has been way, way off.
I was thinking it was also self-referential. Mongrel nymphs are now mongrel trees. In the Broadway show, he talks about a particular tree that was his solace. "If he were a mystic," one of his inspirations is now rooted in nature, specifically the nature surrounding him in his home. He never knows which particular tree will make him feel rooted, a part of the ongoing link with the universe. But he also still identifies as a mongrel, not a purebred.

After a day of processing (and repeated listens), I agree that while this may not be the "best" song he's put out post-Reunion era... it's by far the most Bruce sounding to me. With the exception of maybe Radio Nowhere, this is undeniably Bruce in all regards (the sound, the band, the lyrical Springsteen tropes). Some are saying it's "Springsteen by the numbers," but I see it more that it's true to his sound. Everything about it feels so authentic. It's getting me very very excited about the album.
Thunder Roadie
I'm not sure of the point of comparing every release with pre1980 . Yes we can wax lyrical about those wonderful days but I do get a little irked by people writing off songs because they don't match this era . I find Letter to You a song with an average intro which improves dramatically by the time it reaches the chorus . I agree you can hear HT/LT era in those early notes but the chorus well and truly shakes off those comparisons and sets the tone for the rest of what is a very good song .
l particularly love the metaphor of letter writing to express his message. There's something poignant and romantic about it and I feel it adds some emotion to the song.
A note to Jon Landau - you had better explain letter writing on the album notes for the under 30 fan base though !

Under 30 year old fan here. You're right, I've never written an actual letter before haha, but for me that adds to the song. For me writing and mailing a physical letter implies more effort, heart and soul was put into the message. Which is exactly what the song is about.
Springsteen fan since?:2005ish
I haven't listened to it yet (deciding on if I wanna just wait for the album to release), but I think Bruce being more willing to release music in general now can be seen as a good thing, lest we forget how much of his previously unreleased material went a decade or two before seeing an official release. I think we had a thread here before the 2016 tour where we all assembled our preferred River album using the original release with its outtakes. That is to say, having more of his music that we can judge the merits of ourselves is a good thing in a lot of ways.

I love this. "Greetings" as an album is about being young and being able to make a record about the urban scenes he was trying to make sense of. "Does This Bus" is an urban scene, just all sorts of disconnected images that a young person is trying to take in, even if he can't make sense of them. It's words and images that are disconnected. Springsteen himself is still trying to find a voice that is distinct from his influences.
In this single, we exchange the urban for the bucolic, and youth has given way to old age, and now he can make sense of it. Self-referential indeed, and beautifully so.
Thanks for this wonderful suggestion.
Today I listened to the three 'old' songs that are going to be on the album. They happened to all be posted on BTX. Three versions of Song for Orphans, three of Janey Needs A Shooter and one of If I Were The Priest (I still prefer Allan Clarke's version of that). If the Orphans song is anything like his 2005 version on the D & D tour I'll be delighted - love the way he arranged it.
Personally I'm not bothered about having these ancient songs on this album as they're pretty much unknown to me, although some of you may have listened to them many times over the years. I don't tend to delve into all the outtakes, etc very much.
I AM hoping for a theme to run through this record though Bring it on!

Серпокрилець-крихітка антильський (Tachornis phoenicobia) — вид серпокрильцеподібних птахів родини серпокрильцевих (Apodidae). Мешкає на Великих Антильських островах.

Опис
Довжина птаха становить 9-11 см, вага 9-11 г. Виду не притаманний статиевий диморфізм. Крила відносно довгі, хвіст роздвоєний, середньої довжини. Тім'я і потилиця темно-бурі, верхня частина тіла і хвіст чорні, надхвістя з боків білі. Крила чорнуваті, махові пера мають бліді краї. Обличчя сірувато-коричневе. Нижня частина тіла переважно тьмяно-біла, вузька смуга на грудях і нижні покривні пера хвоста чорнувато-бурі. У молодих птахів нижня частина тіла блідіша, ніж у молодих птахів, а боки і гузка блідо-коричневі.

Представники підвиду T. p. iradii є дещо більшими, ніж представники номінативного підвиду, хвіст у них більш глибоко роздвоєний. Спина у них чорнувата, сірувато-коричнева пляма на обличчі більша, боки блідіші.

Підвиди
Виділяють два підвиди:
 T. p. iradii (Lembeye, 1850) — острови Куба і Ісла-де-ла-Хувентуд;
 T. p. phoenicobia Gosse, 1847 — острови Ямайка, Гаїті, , Беата і .

Поширення і екологія
Антильські серпокрильці-крихітки мешкають у Домініканській Республіці, на Гаїті, Кубі і Ямайці. Бродячі птахи спостерігалися у Флориді, на Пуерто-Рико, Кайманових островах, на півдні Багамських островів () та на островах Теркс і Кайкос. Антильські серпокрильці-крихітки живуть в сухих, трав'янистих місцевостях, порослих пальмами, чагарниками і тропічнимим лісами, а також в передмістях і містах. Зустрічаються невеликими зграйками, на Гаїті на висоті до 1700 м над рівнем моря, на Ямайці на висоті до 1200 м над рівнем моря.

Антильські серпокрильці-крихітки живляться комахами, яких ловлять в польоті низько над землею. Іноді приєднуються до змішаних зграй раозом з ластівками. Сезон розмноження на Кубі триває з травня по липень, на Гаїті з березня по травень. Гніздо мішечкоподібне, робиться з рослинних волокон і пір'я, скріплюється слиною, підвішується до сухої пальмової гілки. Птахи гніздяться невеликими колоніями. В кладці від 2 до 5 яєць. І самиці, і самці насиджують яйця і доглядають за пташенятами.

Home Android Huawei P10 Lite Review: A Scoop of Greatness (Video)
Huawei P10 Lite Review: A Scoop of Greatness (Video)
Huawei P10 and P10 Plus are still the best bang for the buck flagship phones of 2017, well unless you count the Xiaomi Mi6 of course. That's why a Lite proposition that draws its inspiration from these products is at least interesting. We reviewed the Huawei P10 Lite recently and found it to be a pretty solid midrange phone. You can find out why after the break.
Priced at $329 on Amazon, this machine debuted in March this year and it's a follow up to the excellent P9 Lite from last year. It's a glass and metal handset, available in black, blue, white or gold and it goes head to head with the Galaxy A5 (2017) and the ASUS ZenFone 3. While the P9 Lite had a polycarbonate back, this smartphone opts for the a metal frame and a glass back and front.
It's not as curved as its rivals and I'm talking about the sides and even the screen edges, so it opts for a more serious and angular approach. Huawei P10 Lite measures 7.2 mm in thickness and weighs 146 grams. This is not bad compared to the 145 grams of the Huawei P10 and its 7 mm waist. By the way it's also 1 gram lighter than the P9 Lite and 0.3 mm slimmer.
The phone provides comfy one hand usage and its buttons offer good feedback. The back side is not a fingerprint magnet, which is good news for a glass surface and this applies to the gold version we tested at least. Huawei P10 Lite feels like a very light phone, even lighter than its listed weight. It's pretty premium for a midrange handset, priced at $300.
Moving on to the screen, we get a 5.2 inch Full HD IPS LCD panel, with 1.21 mm thick edges and a 1500:1 contrast ratio. The video player on offer here offers a Pop Up Play feature, Enhance Audio and speed setup. The viewing experience involved OK brightness and colors, a contrast that's not that bad and wide view angles, at least horizontally. Vertically I was a bit let down by the angles.
Pixels have an RGB Stripes setup and I liked the white of the screen better than the one of the P9 Lite (2017). We did a brightness test, achieving 386 LUX units, which is quite OK and superior to the Huawei P8 Lite and LG G5. This also means we scored below the Huawei P10 and P9 Lite (2017), plus the P9 Lite itself, that had 443 LUX. In the end brightness could have been better, but it's also quite OK the way it is.
Settings for the display include font size, eye comfort (remove blue light), brightness and color temperature. Increasing sunlight readability is another option available in the Settings. Moving past the screen, we get an octa core 16 nm processor, the Kirin 658, clocked at up to 2.1 GHz and with a Mali T830 MP2 GPU in the mix. There's 3 or 4 GB of RAM here, 32 GB of storage a microSD card slot.
We didn't experience any lag and the apps started fast. We queued a lot of them, played games and encountered no delays. Games like Riptide GP Renegade or C.A.T.S ran fine, so there's no problem with gaming. We also did a bunch of benchmarks and in Quadrant we went past the ASUS ZenFone Zoom and Xperia Z3, while we also kept below the LeTV 1S and Motorola Moto M.
In AnTuTu 6 we achieved a higher score than the Huawei P9 Lite (2017) and Moto M, but scored below the Moto Z Play. Finally, in 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited, we went past the Sony Xperia XA and scored below the Huawei P8 and P9 Lite, which means the graphics aren't quite future proof here. In GeekBench 4 we surpassed the ASUS ZenFone 3 and Huawei Nova, so overall the benchmarks were OK, but this won't be much of a gaming machine in 2 years.
We also did temperature tests, achieving 34.8 degrees Celsius after running GFXBench and 38.9 degrees after running Riptide GP Renegade, so there's no overheating. As far as the battery goes, this phone comes with a 3000 mAh unit and 18W fast charging. Its video playback time, measured by us clocked at 12 hours, which is quite good and surpasses the iPhone 6, but also scores below the iPhone SE and Huawei P9 Lite (2017).
In PCMark we reached 7 hours and 10 minutes, which is rather OK and superior to the Huawei Honor 8 and HTC 10. We also scored below the Huawei P9 Lite (2017) again and the Lenovo Vibe X3. Charging is done in 2 hours and 24 minutes, which basically beats the Xperia X Compact's time. Still, the first minutes of charge are quite efficient, since 5 minutes equal 9% and 15 minutes 23%. 30 minutes mean 42% and 1 hour 79%.
Battery Settings include WiFi on during sleep, the option to close excessively draining apps and Power Saving Modes, including an Ultra Power Saving one. There's also the option to lower screen resolution and an Optimize feature. In the end the only thinb you have to remember is that this is an upgrade from the Huawei P9 Lite's battery, but also not a match for the excellent P9 Lite (2017).
As far as audio is concerned, we only get one speaker at the bottom, a SWS option in the music player and a pretty OK volume when listening to music. The bass was good, there was no distortion or vibration of the handset's back side. The voices and guitars were well rendered. We also did a decibelmeter test and achieved 86.6 dBA with our acoustic sample and 91.7 dBA with the multimedia playback (videogames).
This means we surpassed the P9 Lite with the first test, but scored below the P9 Lite (2017) with the second one. We're also below the Xperia XA and above the Huawei Mate 8 (first test). The headphones are rather typical and similar to what we've been getting ever since the Huawei P8, not very comfy, plasticky, but offering an OK volume. FM radio is also here.
Time to discuss the camera! We're dealing with a main 12 MP shooter with a 1/2.8 inch sensor, PDAF and CAF. It also has F/2.2 aperture and 1.25 micron pixel size. Upfront there's an 8 MP shooter and the camera itself starts up fast and takes pictures reasonably fast. Options are typical for a Huawei device of the past one or two years. I'm talking about Beauty Mode, Color effects, resolution, GPS, grid, timer and audio control.
There's also object tracking, saturation, contrast and brightness. Camera Modes are the following:
All Focus
The Pro mode offers tweaks for focus, white balance, exposure, shutter, ISO and metering. The gallery of shots taken during the day was done on a sunny day of May and the results were bright, clear and it all felt less burnt than the P9 Lite. Colors and focus were quite good and even when zooming in details were solid. Selfies were a bit underwhelming, which surprised me, because they were inferior to the P9 Lite and the P9 Lite (2017).
They were a bit too blurry on this phone. We also caught some good closeups and nice landscape shots, well detailed. Panorama had a resolution of 9984 x 2304 pixels and the lighting was good, plus the toys in the park had solid texture. One of the major achievements here is that this phone is able to capture better green hue than the P10 Plus.
The Huawei P10 Lite manages to handle even the strong sun in front of it. The colors were more realistic and well calibrated this time around, compared to the P9 Lite and P9 Lite (2017). I would say it can fight the Huawei Nova and ASUS ZenFone 3 with ease. It can also compete with the Galaxy A5 (2017), but that one has a boost in details and clarity.
Low light captures can be seen here and we registered long street light halos. The flash was bright and I was happy with the lighting and clarity. Colors were preserved in their natural state pretty well and we did experience some blur here and there. It's superior to the Huawei P9 Lite and if you zoom in you'll see some detail loss. The texture was rather good for the capture of this handset, during the night, but it all feels inferior to the ZenFone 3.
Video capture during the day was done in MP4 format, Full HD resolution, 29 FPS and 17 Mbps. The capture was burnt, the microphone can't seem to handle the wind, but when the wind is gone we caught some nice ambiance, with people walking around the park and children chatting. Clarity is OK and details are rather poor in the distance, if you look closely at the leaves of the trees.
Somehow in spite of the poorer details, if you zoom in things are kept pretty clear. The image is shaky and electronic image stabilization doesn't seem like much here. At least the colors don't feel as burnt as we've seen on the Huawei P10 Plus. We didn't break records here, but we did improve the colors and exposure of the Huawei P9 Lite. In the end it's not far from the P9 Lite, but the upgrade is real.
Low light video capture brought us a pretty good object tracking and some details were lost when zooming. Street light halos are once again elongated and there's some grain, but not as bad as you'd expect. Once again stabilization was modest , but the focus is OK. I'd say the P10 Lite films better than your average Chinese handset. Moving on to other things, we used Chrome as the web browser here and it was quite fast.
The benchmarks we pulled on it offered mid level results. We also had Swiftkey for input and used a numeric row. On the connectivity front, there's dual SIM, 4G LTE, GPS and Glonass, Bluetooth 4.1, WiFi b/g/n, microUSB 2.0 and NFC. The slots are nano SIM ones and we are promised up to 300 Mbps in download. The dialer offers a harassment filter, Pocket Mode and Speed Dial.
Calls are loud, the mic is good and the signal was strong. We did a SpeedTest as well and achieved 100 Mbps on 4G download and 25 Mbps on upload. WiFi was excellent with 224 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload. On the OS, UI and apps front we've got the familiar EMUI 5.1 on top of Android Nougat. Basically, what you saw on the Huawei P10 and P10 Plus also applies here.
We've got a black and blue dropdown area, that seems inspired by iOS and Samsung's Grace UX from Note 7. The multitasking is done via carousel, the notification area is wide and if you keep the homescreen pressed, we can access the wallpapers, widgets, transitions and settings area. You can tweak the layout, alignment and loop the homescreen.
All the widgets are mostly stock here. One can opt to use the device with or without an app drawer. Settings let you modify the nav bar, DND feature, floating dock, motion control, knuckle gestures and split screen is also here. One Hand UI, voice control, Simple Mode and App Twin also make the cut. The fingerprint scanner was also analyzed by us, letting you take a pic, answer calls and browse pics.
It has a 5 step setup and unlocks the device quite fast, but not flagship level fast. On the preinstalled apps list we found 53 names, which is quite a lot, but at least you can uninstall quite a few of them. Among the preinstalled apps we find a Phone Manager, Themes, Health, Notepad, Instagram, News Republic and HiGame. And now it's time for the verdict!
Here are the Pros and Cons:
nice looking design
good white hue of the screen
OK camera for midrange
EMUI 5.1 on board
solid connectivity
pretty good battery
nice acoustics
And the Cons:
selfies could be better
vertical view angles are a letdown
could be cheaper (look at P9 Lite (2017))
some burn in videos
no waterproofing
Overall, this remains an upgrade from the Huawei P9 Lite in some areas, like the battery and camera, plus hardware, of course. The screen is better than the one of the P9 Lite (2017), because it has a better white, even though it's less bright. Performance is solid and there's no big drawback here. A midrange good for music listening, video watching and the usual pics and vids.
Considering it even compensates for some P10 Plus camera drawback, I'd say it's a very good midrange alternative. The device is up for purchase here.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization "feels responsible" for protecting Zagros forests, according to a FAO official in Iran.
"We have plans to develop sustainable agriculture and feel responsible for helping protect the Zagros region," Fabio Grita, an assistant to the FAO representative in Iran, was quoted as saying by ISNA.
Covering large swathes of western and southwestern Iran, the oak-rich Zagros forests are precious resources threatened by a variety of factors, including drought, farming and high concentrations of particulate matter, not to mention rampant logging by locals in need of fuel and smugglers looking for a fast buck.
The forests have shrunk by 1 million hectares in the past 10 years due to climate change and the above-mentioned factors.
"Our sustainable agriculture plan spans from 2017 to 2021 and involves the development of rural region and providing food security, while preserving the environment and reducing greenhouse gas emissions," Grita said.

Shippers with 'unreasonable' expectations are causing headaches for forwarders – big and small
SLA Logistics > News > Logistics Today/world > Shippers with 'unreasonable' expectations are causing headaches for forwarders – big and small
Exhausted forwarders have expressed that their job is currently extremely stressful, particularly in the air cargo peak, owing to quickly changing freight rates and capacity, and long delays.
One air freight source at a major forwarder said shippers, unsurprisingly perhaps, were furious to find that a rate agreed previously would no longer see their freight moved in a timely fashion.
"You can't blame the airlines," he said. "They can make more money right now, and they need to, so they are giving capacity to a higher-payer, leaving us to tell the shippers.
"Their freight will go, but it may take two weeks or more. If they want it faster, they will have to pay the new rates. But they can't understand it as they had booked freight at a certain rate, and expect it to move on time."
He added that even as a very large forwarder, he was losing allocations.
"It must be very hard if you are a smaller forwarder. We are able to use our market strength to keep some allocations, but it doesn't feel particularly good to do so. But you may as well, if you have it. You've got to do what you can."
He added that the opening-up of passenger markets over the transatlantic had cut capacity significantly, as bellies were filled with suitcases instead of cargo, yet another issue to explain to shippers who had thought it would mean more, not less, capacity.
Another, normally enthusiastic, forwarder mentioned: "I don't like my day job anymore – it's becoming a chore, and a stressful one at that."
He said his biggest challenge was "customer expectations versus reality".
"We are endlessly trying to fix problems – everywhere, by every mode, in every direction. It's a right laugh," he added, sarcastically.
Forwarders are feeling the brunt of the mismatch between demand and supply – although as most observers would point out, they are well paid for doing so. But issues such as lack of drivers and warehouse space mean they are unable to ensure freight moves smoothly.
Some have reported going to airports to physically look for their freight. One handler said the company had hired drivers to get freight off the airport and deliver directly to the forwarder, but there was no space available and the freight had to be returned. Shippers, meanwhile, are struggling with the concept of very high freight rates and charges, and poor service levels and delays. (Supplied news)

Mortgage Costs About to Rise
Robert McLister·
· May 9, 2016
Non-bank lenders rely heavily on securitization (selling mortgages to investors to raise money). They then lend that money out to new borrowers. This July, that's about to get a whole lot more complicated…and costly.
Big changes are afoot in the mortgage business, and they're coming to a lender near you in two months. They include:
Higher fees for lenders who use government-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities (MBS)
Restrictions on securitizing mortgages in non-CMHC guaranteed securities
A requirement to securitize portfolio (bulk) insured mortgages within six months
New Guarantee Fees
The Department of Finance (DoF) wants to spur development of "private market funding sources" for mortgages. The goal is to reduce Ottawa's direct exposure to mortgage risk. CMHC's answer is to raise the cost of government-sponsored funding. The losers here are lenders that depend on securitization methods, like the Canada Mortgage Bond (CMB). These extra fees will likely be passed straight through to consumers in the form of higher rates.
Banning Non-CMHC-Sponsored Securitization
Effective July 1, lenders will no longer be able to directly place insured mortgages in non-CMHC approved securities. Lenders who rely on asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP), which include a few of the top non-bank broker-channel lenders, will have to find another way to sell their mortgages.
That's a problem for these lenders. Normal securitization, like NHA MBS, require lenders to assemble $2+ million pools of mortgages that are very similar in attributes (similar term, similar interest adjustment dates, similar coupons, etc.). ABCP wasn't as restrictive. It helped key broker-channel lenders sell off different and odd types of prime mortgages more easily (read, more cost effectively).
There are still a few workarounds for getting insured mortgages into ABCP conduits (e.g., by turning them into NHA MBS pools, paying a guarantee fee and then selling them into ABCP conduits), but that's more expensive. Once again, these extra costs will be passed straight through to consumers.
The New Purpose Test
Here's where things get dicey. The DoF has a new "purpose test" starting this July for mortgages that are portfolio (a.k.a., "bulk") insured. Lenders that bulk insure mortgages will have six months to securitize them. If they don't, the insurance on those mortgages will be cancelled. (There are a few exceptions, including but not limited to, a 5% buffer and an allowance for delinquent mortgages.)
The goal of this purpose test is to ensure lenders use bulk insurance for securitization purposes and not capital relief (a strategy where big banks insured mortgages and used the "zero-risk" status of those insured mortgages to avoid setting aside capital against them).
This new "purpose test" sounds fairly innocuous, until you look at it from a small lender's eyes. Small lenders don't have balance sheets like the major banks. If they fund a mortgage that isn't eligible for securitization, they have a problem.
Small lenders, for instance, can't securitize 1- or 2-year terms very effectively. Securitization pools must be at least $2 million, be grouped by amortization, have similar interest rates and cannot be overweighted with big mortgages. As such, the little guys don't have enough of them to pool and they don't have a large array of buyers for these short-term mortgages.
The net effect is that smaller lenders (and new entrants) probably won't be able to price 1- or 2-year terms as competitively. They'll likely have to sell to big balance sheet lenders (a.k.a., "aggregators"), potentially at margin-squeezing prices. Even if they could pool them, the result would be a larger number of small pools, which are more expensive to sell to investors.
Practically speaking, this could be a real problem for:
renewing borrowers who want a shorter term from a non-bank lender
borrowers who want to refinance (e.g., Someone with two years left on their mortgage who wants to add $50,000 to it can typically blend and increase with no penalty. Going forward, smaller non-bank lenders may limit this feature on terms less than three years)
variable-rate borrowers who want to convert into a shorter-term fixed mortgage (more lenders may start restricting variable-rate conversions to 5-year terms only)
This latest onslaught of mortgage regs could soon reduce liquidity for non-bank lenders with less diverse funding sources than the banks. Remember that when you hear the DoF and CMHC lauding how their policies foster competition in the mortgage market.
These changes are especially painful to smaller lenders who can't pool enough mortgages cost-effectively. The result could be more one-dimensional product offerings (e.g., 3-year and 5-year terms only, and fewer mid-term refinance privileges) for these very important bank challengers.
This, in turn, raises costs for customers both directly and indirectly. For mortgages funding after June, there will be a literal step-up in rates. In addition, there's the indirect impact from less rate competition from smaller lenders. Remember, rates are set at the margin. Consumers have been increasingly exposed to competitive rates from bank challengers, and that in turn influences big bank pricing.
All of this is in the name of reducing government exposure to mortgages, mortgages that have proven time and again to be one of the lowest-risk asset classes in Canada.
Did the federal policy-makers envision all these side effects when they instituted these rules? We have to assume they did, and chose to do it anyhow.

Derek Christiansen says:
All sounds like continued protection of Big Bank profits… this along with disclosure of commissions in BC that will spread to all brokers eventually (but not banks)…. this is bank lobbying at it's best…
Ron Butler says:
I don't really see that the banks brought this about. There is more than enough opportunity for a government agency to develop over baked policy without any help from a bank or a lobby group. When the starting point of policy development is: "we think something will go wrong soon in the real estate market and we need to mitigate against a public bail out" well, if that is the starting point then the policy development is just guess work because no banker has actually experienced significant arrears from a real estate portfolio for a generation.
Ian Leverington says:
We all know gov't agencies are adept at creating over baked policies all on their own that typically have as many or more adverse affects as benefits but, when you look at the direct and indirect end results of these changes (recent BC disclosure changes included) it's hard not to believe this is all a result of bank lobbyists. With the kind of resources and thirst for profits that banks have, it wouldn't be irrational to think there's more going on beside the scenes than what we see or hear.
The question is: What are we going to do about it?
LVC says:
I don't think people realize how big of a deal this is. When I started out in the securitization industry back in 2009, Canadian mortgage lenders had ample funding sources. With the covered bond changes (2.0), removal of mortgages from ABCP conduits and changes to bank leverage ratios, the market is becoming radically more centralized and, ironically, much riskier.
All these rules designed to reduce liquidity and slow down the housing market are just bandaid solutions. Until interest rates increase, not much is expected to change…

Porsche is a major auto manufacturer, yes? Back in 2014 I saw a press release from Porsche crowing about their sales rate, about 200,000 cars per year worldwide. At the time Tesla was selling about 25,000 cars a year but had plans to grow that a lot. I wrote a post in May 2014 asking when Tesla would be outselling Porsche, and what would be the significance.
Porsche has had a good sales record the last few years, with 8 years of successive sales records. In 2017 they sold about 246,000 cars worldwide, and about 55,420 in North America.
So far in 2018 Tesla has sold 84,127 cars in the USA - 55,882 were Tesla Model 3's. Going by August 2018 sales, the 17,800 Model 3's sold by Tesla that month annualizes to over 200,000 cars per year. Presumably Tesla will keep growing Model 3 sales for awhile, for example they plan to install some new machines at Gigafactory 1 that will ramp up the manufacturing rate and lower the cost for batteries to $100/kWh. That last move is supposed to enable Tesla to finally begin sales of the $35,000 Model 3, and possibly bring Tesla's manufacturing to over 400,000 cars per year - in 2019.
So far in 2018, Tesla sold 14,645 Model S's and 13,600 Model X's in the USA, which annualizes to 42,367 of both in the USA. Ergo, Tesla is close to outselling Porsche in North America/USA just from the Model S and Model X lines.
Shortly Tesla is extremely likely to be selling twice as many cars as Porsche. Today they are on the cusp of outselling Porsche, and Tesla is quickly climbing the ranks of automakers.
To get into the top 20 automakers Tesla would have to be selling 1 million cars per year. To be the largest would require selling over 10 million a year.
In January 2015, Elon Musk suggested in an interview that by 2025 Tesla would be selling a "few million" cars per year. No details, just a broad brush stroke. Assuming that means 5 million, it's more than Honda sells.
To get there Tesla would require 10 or more car factories - they're apparently looking for a factory location in China right now - and maybe as many battery factories. That of course requires a heck of a lot of investment dollars from somewhere.
I don't have enough confidence to say YES ... but the trend line is there for Tesla to be one of the big five automakers within a decade?
None of the other US car manufacturers have started that process yet!

Club careerEdit
Atlético MadridEdit
Born in Krobo Odumase, Partey was a product of local club Odometah's youth ranks.[5] He signed with Atlético Madrid in 2012, after a short spell with Leganés,[6] and was subsequently moved to the reserves a year later. On 10 March 2013, Partey was called up to the main squad for the match against Real Sociedad.[7] However, he remained unused in the eventual 0–1 home defeat.[8]
Mallorca and AlmeríaEdit
On 12 July, Partey was loaned to Mallorca, freshly relegated to the second level.[9] On 18 August, he made his professional debut, in a 0–4 away defeat against Sabadell.[10] Partey scored his first professional goal on 15 September, netting his side's second of a 2–2 draw at Hércules.[11]
On 27 July 2014, Partey joined La Liga side Almería on a loan.[12] He made his debut in the competition on 23 August, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Espanyol.[13] Partey scored his first goals in the main category of Spanish football on 11 April 2015, netting a brace in a 3–0 home win against Granada.[14]
Return to Atlético MadridEdit
Partey made his first team debut for Atlético Madrid on 28 November 2015, replacing Luciano Vietto in a 1–0 home win against Espanyol.[15] On 2 January of the following year, he scored his first league goal for the club, netting the game's only strike in a home success over Levante.[16] On 28 May, he played in the UEFA Champions League Final against Real Madrid, replacing Koke in the 116th minute as his side lost on penalties.[17]
Partey signed a contract extension with Atlético Madrid through 2022 on 14 February 2017.[18] On 31 October, he scored his first European goal with a long-range strike to equalise at home to Qarabağ in a 1–1 draw in the Champions League group game; he became the first African to score in the competition for Atlético.[19] Following his impressive performances for the club, he was rewarded with another contract on 1 March 2018, this time until 2023.[20] On 16 May, he played in the 2018 UEFA Europa League Final, as his side won 3–0 against Marseille.[21]
On 1 September 2019, Partey came on as a late substitute and netted the match's winner in the last minute of the game, as Atlético came back from 2–0 down to win the game by 3–2 against Eibar.[22] He marked his 100th La Liga appearance for Los Rojiblancos with a man-of-the-match performance in a 0–0 draw against Real Madrid in the Madrid derby four weeks later.[23] Despite leaving Atlético at the beginning of the 2020–21 season, Partey made enough appearances at the start of the season to become eligible for a winner's medal as Atlético won La Liga that year.[24][25]
ArsenalEdit
On 5 October 2020, Premier League club Arsenal announced the signing of Partey on a long-term contract, after activating his £45 million (€50 million) release clause with Atlético Madrid. He was given the number 18 shirt, which had been vacated by Nacho Monreal the previous season.[26] Upon signing, Partey stated his desire to help Arsenal "back where [they] belong", describing his decision to move being based on "[wanting] to experience new challenges", while also crediting the transfer to manager Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu.[27]
On 17 October 2020, Partey made his debut for Arsenal as a substitute for Granit Xhaka in a 0–1 away defeat in the league against Manchester City.[28] Five days later, Partey started his first match for Arsenal in a 2–1 away win over Rapid Wien in the UEFA Europa League.[29] Midway through a match against Aston Villa on 8 November 2020, Partey suffered a thigh injury which saw him miss the rest of the month's games.[30] On 6 December 2020, he would make his return in the North London derby, but suffered another injury at half time. Arsenal lost 2–0 to Tottenham eventually.[31] He would not play again until a month later, which he came off the bench in a 0–0 draw against Crystal Palace.[32][33] On 22 October 2021, Partey scored his first goal for Arsenal in a 3–1 win against Aston Villa.[34]
International careerEdit
In May 2016, Partey was called up for the first time to the Ghana national team by manager Avram Grant, ahead of a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Mauritius.[35] He made his debut on 5 June, replacing Frank Acheampong for the final 11 minutes of a 2–0 away win that booked the Black Stars' position in the finals.[36] On 5 September 2017, Partey scored his first international hat-trick in a 5–1 win against Congo in 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification.[37]
Partey was chosen in Kwesi Appiah's 23-man squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.[38] In their last group game, he scored in a 2–0 win over Guinea-Bissau at the Suez Stadium as the Black Stars topped their group.[39] He netted in the penalty shootout at the end of the last-16 game against Tunisia on 8 July, though his team was eliminated.[40]
Partey won Ghana Player of the Year in 2018 and 2019.[41][42] Ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, as well for qualifiers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Partey was named Ghana's vice-captain.[43][44]

The House today is very interesting. The facade looks like a House modern ones that are you uncomfortable to dwell, but to see the distribution we have a rather nice design and which undoubtedly invites us to enjoy. It has a total of 237 square meters allowing architects to play a little with the space giving some really interesting.
As we can see in the plane of the ground floor we have to front the garage for two cars, the garage is open and works as a great Gallery of entry. We entered directly to the living room, not very big, but with enough space. From there, we can access to the dining room and a small office. Next to the dining room we have the kitchen with breakfast area and there are rear exit to the garden where will raise a zone type kinch/Grill. As they have been observed under the stairs we have access to the toilet on the ground floor.
In the distribution of the top floor we can see a corridor that we distributed among the three bedroom. We also have a small study area and access to the balcony of the front. The main room deserves a mention apart since it has a huge walk-in closet (or dressing, as they say in Spanish), bathroom en-suite and to an area that functions as a living room.
Do you think this work? To my I love, especially taking into account that it fits perfectly in an area of 10 meters wide by 25 meters deep, which makes it adaptable to large number of batches that are on the market.

ShareFEST 2012 Announces Keynote Speakers and Live Demos of New Microsoft Technologies for Life Sciences
ShareFEST 2012, the premier Microsoft SharePoint conference for life sciences, announced today the speakers who will deliver the keynote address and present a live demo of new Microsoft technologies.
Microsoft senior executives Steve Aylward, General Manager, U.S. Commercial Health and Life Sciences at Microsoft, and Mike Gannotti, Technical Solution Professional, Malvern Technology Center, will detail the advantages of using Microsoft SharePoint in life sciences today with a preview into how Microsoft cloud computing and SharePoint will impact life sciences in the future. The conference will be held on April 19- 20, 2012 at The Loews Philadelphia Hotel.
"Our keynote speakers will outline how the industry will build a bridge from today to the future through a compelling product roadmap," says Zikria Syed, Chief Executive Officer of NextDocs, which is hosting ShareFEST 2012.
"This year's keynote rounds out a compelling conference filled with experts and proven leaders who will share innovations that demonstrate how SharePoint and related technologies drive quality, efficient, and compliant business processes."
Aylward and Gannotti will deliver their opening keynote, titled "Microsoft's Role in Today's Life Sciences Ecosystem: SharePoint, the Cloud, and Beyond," on Thursday, April 19, 2012 at 8:30 a.m. The joint session will detail how Microsoft technologies, especially SharePoint, are being used to drive innovation in healthcare delivery, regulatory compliance, and collaboration.

Online Tutoring Jobs Home offer the opportunity to earn extra money.
Online Tutoring Jobs Home offer the opportunity for many people to earn extra money legitimately. While some tutoring agencies require formal education and experience in teaching, others don't. To begin with, do you have a passion to help others in their intellectual growth? In case you have the skills and knowledge to teach a particular age group or subject you can apply to do Online Tutoring Jobs Home.
In particular, this post shares some top agencies that you can check for Online Tutoring Jobs Home. If you are actively teaching or a retired teacher and looking for a way to earn more money, then this could be the ideal for you. Similarly, if you are a stay at home mom or dad, a college or senior high school student, you can also check out these opportunities. As a matter of fact, anyone who meet the requirements can do Online Tutoring Jobs Home.
Actually some people do tutoring from home and earn enough money on a full time or part-time basis. In reality, you can help to prepare students for exams, understand and complete their homework assignments. In addition you can help students to catch up on missed classwork, and reinforce and practice concepts that are difficult to grasp. Likewise, you can teach kids something new. Albeit, you help students with mastery skills in different subjects.
Once you have a desktop or laptop with stable high speed internet service, then you can work flexible hours from anywhere. To clarify, you set your work schedule or select the most suitable time slots available. Additionally, you also need to use a webcam and a headset with microphone. Once you have extra time on hand, you can certainly tutor students at home, at a public library, or other places with internet access. Of course, you want to feel comfortable too.
Generally, some online tutoring jobs require a college degree and experience, but there are others that don't. As long as you show competence in the subject area or grade level, you can be a tutor. Bear in mind that you can work with both young kids, adults and even students at college. For sure, you can determine which level suits you best.
Notably, there are several online tutoring companies and you can put in an application with them. Usually, you get tutoring assignments easier through them. Online tutoring involves communication via Skype, the use of a webcam, or even by phone.

Bear in mind that you also use teaching aids to enhance learning and to inspire students. Even though you are teaching online, remember you still use teaching aids to support the students learning so they can have greater success. To emphasize, these learning materials can significantly speed up students achievement.

In light of this, you can choose the subject that you are most knowledgeable and comfortable with. In fact, you can even show that you are familiar with the exam that the student will take. No doubt, you will be able to give more help during tutoring and of course success for the student.
By all means, try to engage students in each lesson, for instance make them interactive. To put it another way, make learning fun for students to understand and master the concepts for success.

Clinton ad casts doubt on Obama's readiness; his response could predict general election clashes with McCain.
Barack Obama's response to a new ad casting doubt on his readiness to lead in a crisis could determine the outcome of the Texas primary. And if he responds successfully, the exchange may form a template for a general election against John McCain.
Hillary Rodham Clinton's commercial falls into a celebrated genre of political advertising, known as "red phone" ads for a famous 1984 attack by Walter Mondale on Gary Hart, but which dates back at least as far as Lyndon Johnson's 1964 campaign. Clinton's spot, like the earlier ones, features an emergency call to the White House during an unnamed crisis.
"It's 3 a.m., and your children are safe and asleep, but there's a phone in the White House and it's ringing," says the narrator in Clinton's ad. "Something's happening in the world. Your vote will decide who answers that call, whether it's someone who already knows the world's leaders, knows the military — someone tested and ready to lead in a dangerous world."
"We've seen these ads before," he said in Houston. "They're the kind that play on people's fears to scare up votes."
But Republicans said it was just the faintest preview of what voters are likely to see in a general election — whether from McCain, the Republican National Committee or an independent group.
"It's a love tap compared to the Wu-Tang fist of fury that's coming at this guy in the fall," said Rick Wilson, a Republican media consultant.
A spokesman for the Republican National Committee, Danny Diaz, put it in somewhat less colorful terms.
"Republicans will focus on the critical issues confronting the nation," he said. "Sen. Obama's record on issues related to national security will be central to that discussion."
Clinton's ad was notable for coming so late in the campaign, just days before a climactic pair of votes in Ohio and Texas. And it seemed to pull its punches: The crisis is not described, and the ad makes no overt reference to Obama.
Clinton's chief strategist, Mark Penn, called the spot "positive" and noted that it uses "soft images" of sleeping children, rather than the frightening images that have accompanied such commercials in the past, like the wolves that roamed through the forest in a 2004 George W. Bush commercial.


UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday urged all parties meeting in Geneva this week to discuss the Western Sahara dispute to be constructive and impose no conditions for formal talks.
Morocco, the Polisario Front, Algeria and Mauritania are taking part in two days of roundtable discussion with a UN envoy starting on Wednesday to try to relaunch negotiations, which have been stalled since 2012.
Guterres "urges all to engage in good faith, without preconditions and in a constructive spirit in the discussions," said a statement from his spokesperson.
The United Nations has repeatedly failed to broker a settlement in Western Sahara, where Morocco and the Algerian-backed Polisario fought for control from 1975 to 1991.
A UN peacekeeping mission has been deployed in the contested territory since 1991 to monitor a ceasefire and organize a referendum on the status of Western Sahara, which never materialized.
Morocco insists that any negotiation on the territory should focus on its proposal for autonomy while the Polisario maintains that the status of Western Sahara should be decided in a referendum on independence.

Plebiscit (latinsko plebis scitum = sklep ljudstva (v starem Rimu odlok ljudske skupščine Concilium Plebis)), je glasovanje prebivalstva na kakem ozemlju o priključitvi le-tega določeni državi ali o razdružitvi od nje.

Najbolj znana plebiscita na Slovenskem sta bila koroški plebiscit leta 1920, po katerem je Koroška pripadla Avstriji ter plebiscit leta 1990, s katerim so se prebivalci Slovenije odločili za samostojno državo.

Omembe vreden je tudi plebiscit iz leta 1866, ki je odločil priključitev Benečije (it. Veneto) Kraljevini Italiji. Po tretji italijanski osvobodilni vojni je moralo namreč Avstrijsko cesarstvo odstopiti Lombardsko-beneško kraljestvo Franciji, ki naj bi to ozemlje posredovala Italiji, ko bi se prebivalci opredelili za odcep od Avstrije. Zainteresirani prebivalci so se s plebiscitom morali izreči ali za ohrano avstrijske nadoblasti ali za priključitev nastajajoči Kraljevini Italiji, kar se je tudi zgodilo. Lombardsko-beneško kraljestvo je takrat zavzemalo tudi območje današnje Beneške Slovenije. S tem plebiscitom so torej Beneški Slovenci prešli pod Italijo, čeprav seveda ne po lastni volji, saj je bil njihov glas le minimalnega pomena.
