(Seal) of the imperial kommerkia of Thrace and of Hexamilion.
This seal is similar in its iconography to the folleis, Class 3, of Constantine V (see Grierson, Catalogue, III, 1, 11.1 ff, pl. IX).
Hexamilion (modern Bulayir) must have had significant economic activities, as is shown by our seals from there.
The see, a suffragan bishopric of Herakleia, was located at the site of ancient Lysimachia in the middle of the Dardanelles along the Thracian coast; it remained a bishopric until the fourteenth century when it was raised to the status of an archbishopric and metropolis (Laurent, Corpus V/1, 229; Asdracha, Thrace orientale, 249-50, 294-95). In a tenth-century notitia (cf. Darrouzès, Notitiae, 64), Hexamilion is equated with neighboring Chersonesos.

These are my projects that took a couple weeks.
This is my scratchboard project which I made through scratching a black paper to form an image of a man.
In class, we made a sculpture of one of our initials. Since my name starts with an 'S,' I used an S-shape to form my project. The project includes all principles and elements of art and is three-dimensional.
Using the art style of collage, I created a woman made of newspaper scraps and some paint. This could also be classified as mixed media because of the different elements that make up the portrait. Because of the art style, this artwork is not supposed to be very proportional and fixed.


As November and December nights draw in, the best Christmas markets spring up all over the UK. Think flickering candlelight, the smell of evergreens, the aroma of holiday goodies, the sounds of carolers and holiday brass bands and children's excitement at the glitter and twinkling lights.
From late November to mid-December, glowing market booths and stalls filled to bursting with tempting, exotic goods turn British city and town centers into festive wonderlands. These 16 are tops for original gifts, handmade and artisan crafts, delicious foods, mulled wine and entertainment.
Birmingham stages one of the biggest and longest German Christmas Markets outside of Germany. The West Midlands city is twinned with Frankfurt, and the Frankfurt traders go all out to bring real German gemütlichkeit to Britain. It spreads across most of the city's important squares and continues for more than a month. Alongside the German Market, a Christmas crafts fair highlights regional producers and artisans as well as more exotic gifts from Asia and Africa. Add in ice skating, a big wheel and a jewelry market and Birmingham is a very festive place indeed for most of the winter.
When: 10 am to 9 pm, Nov 17 to Dec 29, 10 am to 9 pm (in 2016 the festival has been extended beyond Christmas to mark its 50th anniversary).
It would be hard to top Manchester's huge Christmas market celebrations, visited by about 9 million people during November and December. Birmingham may have the largest German market outside of Germany but Manchester adds a French Christmas Market, a family market, and arts and crafts market and more. In fact, 10 separate markets flood the center of Manchester with music, twinkling lights, gifts, and good cheer. A markets map on the city's Christmas Market website can help navigate between them. There are 300 stalls in all, filled with gifts, crafts, jewelry, clothes and toys from European and local producers.

Leeds is such a great shopping city; to begin with, a Christmas market seems like icing on the cake. Or on the German lebkuchen actually, because there are bound to be some of those traditional German Christmas cookies among the 40 genuine German stalls that fill Leeds Millennium Square for more than a month - from mid-November onward. The market is organized by the City Council in partnership with Frankfurt am Main and it turns the city's Millennium Square into a wintry alpine village for the duration. Lots of crafty things to buy and plenty of good things to eat - including such German delicacies as stollen, gingerbread, goulash, soups, schnitzels, bratwurst and, of course, gluhwein. New in 2016, a central, open-air performance area with live entertainment and Sunday morning Santa's Breakfasts for the family.
Lincoln started the tradition of German Christmas Markets in Britain 33 years ago, giving it the distinction of being the first. It's also probably the most concentrated and intense, cramming hundreds of thousands of shoppers onto Lincoln's medieval Castle Hill for just 4 days (so no dogs except assistance dogs allowed). What started with 11 stalls has now grown to 350, filling this bijoux cathedral city to bursting. A very good place to get in the holiday spirit.

The traditional, German-style chalet stalls stretch along the riverbank and the reflection of the sparkling lights in the River Thames makes it extra special.

Getting to the Southbank - London Underground stations at Westminster, Embankment, and Temple (north of the river) and Waterloo (south of the river) are all within easy walking distance.

It's all very sparkly, with lots to eat and buy as well as street entertainment and a chance to see the historic core of this pretty East Anglian town in Suffolk in its holiday finery.

New Delhi: To ensure immediate and effective medication to soldiers and the public in the event of terror attacks and accidents, the Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) has developed medicines such as a wound-healing gel and freeze-resistant saline water that are extremely helpful at higher altitudes in saving lives in the absence of doctors.
The Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (INMAS) -- DRDO's Delhi-based bio-medical and clinical research lab -- has so far been providing the medicines to the Army and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) -- but now it is also planning to collaborate with the premier AIIMS health facility to take these to the common people. The INMASEAL Gel, INMASEAL Gauze dressing and Sodium Chloride solution have been developed to save the lives of victims in the periphery n the absence of doctors.
According to medical science, 60 per cent of deaths from combat injuries are caused due to excessive bleeding. INMAS Joint Director Aseem Bhatnagar explained that the INMASEAL Gel is extremely effective in stopping profuse bleeding.
"The Chitosen gel formulation can stop blood oozing within a minute even in case of venous rupture. It can be applied at multiple sites and is extremely useful in case of battlefield casualty, gunshot injuries, road accident injuries and falls," Bhatnagar told IANS.
Currently, this medication -- meant to stop profuse blood flow due to trauma injuries -- is available at a much higher cost of Rs 8,000. Till now, at least 11,000 units of the medication have been provided to security personnel and, of this, 4,000 units were given to CAPF personnel during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
The INMASEAL Gauze dressing, a single-time medication to stop bleeding but sterilised by gamma radiations, reduces bleeding and stops oozing of blood, INMAS scientist Amit Tyagi said. "The dressing gauze can be used in any environment, from high altitude to hot Rajasthan desert. It can stop oozing of blood in significantly short span of time with enhanced natural wound-healing process."
The dressing is even effective at a temperature of -40 degrees Celsius, where normally all other dressings and bandages do not work. Indian security personnel suffer trauma injuries while carrying out operations against Maoists and terror groups -- the most recent one being the death of 25 CRPF troopers in Chattisgarh's Sukma district.
INMAS Director A.K. Singh told IANS that around 5,000 tubes have been supplied to the armed forces in Jammu and Kashmir and the CAPF. The third product developed by INMAS is a Sodium Chloride formulation, also known as saline water, which does not freeze even at -17 degrees Celsius.
"Unlike normal saline which freezes at high altitudes, this formulation does not freeze at all. It has been developed for places where we cannot give blood-transfusion to the injured personnel," Singh said, adding that the medication is immensely helpful in reducing brain oedema.
He stressed that the saline water has additional uses such as reducing pulmonary oedema, reducing oedema from traumatic injuries and increasing blood pressure and blood fluid volume in case of blood loss. According to INMAS, though the medications are currently being supplied to the security forces only, an agreement with AIIMS was on the anvil to make them available to common people.
Various meetings have been held between AIIMS Trauma Chief Rajesh Malhotra and the DRDO in the matter. "A DRDO team came to the trauma centre a fortnight ago to look into various collaboration projects. They have developed very nice products to stop bleeding in acute injuries. There is a need for capacity building as combat-like casualties are very common in public life including gas cylinder blasts, burns and fractures," Malhotra told IANS.

Korean refineries on track for record-high profits
By Choi Sung-jin
The domestic oil refining industry is expected to register record-high operating profits this year, industry sources said Tuesday.
Korea's four major refineries -- SK Innovation, GS-Caltex, S-Oil and Hyundai Oil Bank -- reduced their third-quarter profit target by 4.9 percent in August as refining margins plunged amid high-capacity utilization by global plants.
But contrary to expectations, refining margins recovered to previous levels in September and international oil prices maintained a stable trend, reviving an optimistic outlook for this year's performance, they said.
According to stock market analysts, the four refineries' combined operating profit is expected to top 7.5 trillion won ($6.6 billion) this year, easily surpassing the previous high of 6.9 trillion won in 2011. They registered nearly 5.4 trillion won in profit in the first half of this year alone.
The foundation for improved prospects is the stability of international oil prices.
The price of Dubai light oil, which accounts for more than 70 percent of the nation's crude imports, stood at $49.12 a barrel in the Singapore spot market Monday, rebounding from $38 in early August. Refiners capitalize on this time-lag effect because it usually takes about six weeks for them to import crude oil, refine it into petroleum products and sell them. These refineries bought crude oil at low prices in August and are selling petroleum products at higher prices now.
Oil prices are likely to move within the band of $45-$50 until year-end, further contributing to the improved bottom lines of refiners, the analysts said. Although OPEC members agreed on production cuts last month, non-member producers, such as Iran and Russia, have increased production, forcing international crude prices to fluctuate within a narrow range, they said.
Another favorable factor is the expanded refining margin -- the difference between the price of crude oil and petroleum products -- which rose for seven consecutive months in the third quarter. The Singapore gross refining margin applied to Korean companies stood at $7.40 a barrel late last month, hovering way above the $4-$5 level the industry regards as a breakeven point.
"Some of the U.S. and Chinese refineries went into regular overhauls in the third quarter, reducing supply and pushing up refining margins," an industry executive said.
A possible stumbling block to breaking the profit record is the exchange rate. Because most settlements in the refining industry are in U.S. dollars, the rise of the Korean won can weaken the export competitiveness of petroleum products refined here.
The industry's answer is to enhance the "non-refining" business, such as petrochemicals and lubricants. SK produced half its operating profit in the non-refining sector in the first half of this year.
Noteworthy in this regard is the rising profitability of paraxylene, a chemical used for synthetic fiber. The "PX spread" -- the difference between the price of paraxylene and its material naphtha -- remains above $364 this month after hitting $427 in August.
"China's demand for paraxylene is expected to exceed its supply until 2018, forcing the world's second-largest economy to increase its imports," an industry official said. "The operational suspension of the two Chinese petrochemical companies -- Dragon Aromatics and Sinopec -- due to fire accidents and other reasons will benefit their Korean competitors."
The conversion of residue oil into high value-added gasoline and diesel by using upgrading equipment is also emerging as a new revenue source. Hyundai Oil is a front-runner in this area among domestic refiners, with an upgraded refining portion of 39.1 percent. If a company can raise this above 50 percent, it can produce high value-added petroleum products from cheap Bunker-C oil without having to import expensive crude oil.
"Predicting the movement of oil prices is so uncertain as to be said to belong to God's realm," another industry executive said. "Only when the domestic refiners minimize risks through enhancing the non-refining business and residue upgrading complex can they continue to grow."

Plans to build a single storey home within Bottesford's conservation area have been approved despite villagers' objections.
Objectors had raised numerous concerns about the impact of the new home to be built on to the west of Mulberry House, on the corner of Station Road and Church Lane.
Among the main concerns were its impact upon the conservation area and character of that part of the village and its impact on highways safety.
The proposed development was debated by Melton Council's planning committee on Thursday night.
Paul Openshaw, on behalf of the applicant, told councillors the plans 'complied with all planning policies' and that Leicestershire County Highways had raised no objections. He added that the hedge would be retained and, where it was removed, it would be re-planted.

Shower-powered FM radio launched
A very green radio: Tango Group has launched its H2O Shower Powered Radio FM Radio, powered by water flowing through a micro turbine which drives a generator that creates the energy to power the device. It won't work in all showers, but it works when installed in-line between a standard faucet spout and shower hose.
The invention comes from the team behind the wind-up radio, reports The BBC, which noted the company had previously appeared on BBC's, Dragon's Den, where the celebrity investors chose not to back it.
The man behind the H2O, Vivian Blick, previously worked with the English inventor Trevor Baylis on his Freeplay wind-up radio.
That invention proved to be a particularly successful in Africa, where the cost of batteries or electricity put traditional radio out of the reach of many.
"Having seen huge success with the commercialization of the wind-up radio, we're constantly looking into new ways that further innovations in the radio sector could be made," said Blick, managing director of Tango Group, told the BBC. "We hope to encourage singing in the shower all around the UK."
The radio is now available at 34.99 Pounds UK and is available at stores listed at Tango Group's website at www.tangogroup.net.

Social media has become one of the most popular double-edged swords in today's world of technology. On the one hand it is a valuable free resource for companies to incorporate in their marketing strategy due to its global impact on a wide range of demographics. However, on the other hand social media is the largest poster board in the world for employees that want to vent and rant against their employers and open their lives for everyone to view.
What started off with MySpace as a unique way to connect with old friends and family members has significantly grown into Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and many others. Each one offers a different twist and function to appeal to users of all social media preferences but the end result is still the same. Any reputation can be made or broken in an instant and spread like wildfire with no way of being able to undo it. Understanding the power of this tool and having a company policy for employees is essential to safeguarding the future success of your business.
Just about everyone that has access to a phone, tablet or computer is on at least one type of social media platform so companies have no choice but to consider and address how this affects their business.
Look for warning signs of employees that could potentially speak out against the company. The easiest ones to spot are those that are continually complaining to others around them about practices or policies. Take the opportunity to sit down with them in private and find out what their complaints are and how the company can help re-motivate and address the issues. Low employee morale can be challenging enough to handle in-house but once it hits the Internet you know have a larger problem to deal with.
Disgruntled employees love to vent and what use to be limited to conversations around the water cooler or at the family BBQ are now posted for hundreds of individuals to view, comment on and re-post so that even more people are exposed. The speed at which negativity spreads is impossible to stop which is why you need to have a solid preventative plan in place before this happens. Expectations need to be clearly advertised and understood by both sides in order for measures to be effective.
It is important to ensure that your social media policy focuses on letting employees know that you are interested in protecting your brand not becoming the 'social media police.' Individuals will quickly rebel if they feel that their 1st Amendment right is being infringed upon by their employer and will find ways and reasons to go against the policy.
Policies should always be structured in a manner that brings the employer and employees together for the good of the company because without a successful business everyone suffers. Mutual respect for boundaries and relationships is a great way to address the issue and to let employees know that you value their input when constructively given.
Your employees are not marketing experts nor are they a viable advertising tool so it is necessary to ensure that your policy does not put them in this position. Employees have personal lives and will make comments about work that may be flattering or negative based on the day they had but that does not mean that they have crossed any lines.
The purpose of the social media policy is to let employees know where the boundaries and define the limits without coming off as overbearing and legalistic. Human nature is not going to change because of a piece of paper but laying out what is considered proper etiquette and what is deemed as unacceptable can go a long way to establishing open communication with the labor force. In some cases, individuals don't think about the results of their comments until after it is too late because they were never educated that it might be a problem. This is why having an updated social media policy can prevent issues before they start.
Training is one of the key factors in any company to give employees the tools and knowledge they need to be successful within the organization. Social media training is something that can easily be conveyed to employees in a fun and constructive manner. Not only will they learn how to use different platforms and be taught the policy but you may be surprised to find that they become willing promoters of the company because of the positive experience.
Respect is something that is earned and when you give this to employees then it becomes easier and reasonable to expect it from them in return. There is no way to completely prevent social media issues started by employees but laying out the expectations in a policy ensures that they understand the limits and what will incur company action. Once they are aware of this then you can hold them accountable.
Updating your policy is a great first step but the important part is to ensure that every employee is aware of these changes and expectations so that there is adherence and accountability. It is also good business practice to review social media sites periodically along with the policy to make sure that you are keeping up with new trends in technology. Whether you have a dedicated resource or someone who is computer savvy with the ability to take this responsibility on, it needs to be a delegated function that is accomplished regularly so that any problems are caught early on and addressed.


Many months back, I was browsing through a local jewelry store when I came across some funky crocheted beads and instantly thought, "Hey, I can do that!" Well, thinking and doing are two different things, so for a long time this idea was kept on the back burner, since I don't know many people who would wear such a large and colorful necklace. Even after going out and buying wooden beads to crochet around, nothing more came of it for weeks and months on end.
Finally, nearing the end of my project list and searching around in desperation for something to make, I rediscovered my earlier purchase. I aimlessly made a handful in purple, and then spent another good chunk of time wondering what to do with them now. In this way, I learned that it can be extremely difficult to finish a project when you're not exactly sure what you're hoping the end outcome will be.
Strangely enough, the grocery store has been a good place for inspiration lately. Picking over some grapes in the produce section, I glanced over beyond my typical choice (Seedless red grapes) and noticed how very large and round the seeded variety are. After fitting the pieces together, let's just say I shopped as quick as I could, rushing home to uncover those forgotten crocheted beads.
Don't they fit in perfectly with the other fruits? Sure these are a bit darker than your typical grape, but this is what I had on hand, so show me you have better color sense than I do and make your own in a more appropriate shade! But hey, atleast I hadn't originally made blue or black beads in the beginning… That would have made for one scary looking bunch of grapes.
Cut thread, gather remaining stitches together and pull tight, fastening off and leaving a long tail.
Cut yarn leaving a long tail, gather remaining stitches together and pull tight.
Okay, this is a little bit tricky and I'm not sure if I can fully explain it in a comprehensible manner.
What I did first was arrange the larger beads into positions that I thought looked alright, and then tied them together at the top. I then proceeded to tie the other smaller beads between the larger ones, allowing them more or less space to hang below. As my bunch of grapes grew, I continued tying the remaining small beads to the other small ones already attached.
Continue until you use up all of your beads, and weave ends into the sides EXCEPT for the ones up top. Tie the leaf around the ends at the top to secure. Finally, I twisted all of the remaining loose ends of yarn together and sealed them with a thin coat of mod-podge to form the stem. Let dry and enjoy the new addition to your fruit bowl!
Lovely! I've been gathering knit and crochet patterns for fruit and vegetables. I plan on filling my mothers large crystal bowl with what I make, and these will look perfect with everything else, thanks!
those are pretty cool! way to go!
thanks for the pattern, I am going to have to try it, hopefully it's not to hard. It's always nice to find jewelry stores that have unique art along with their jewelry.
Love the grapes! I'm collecting fruit and vegetable patterns for a Horn of Plenty that my daughter puts out every fall, and for a large crystal bowl on her living room table.
Thank you so very much for the pattern. I am a single mom of two boys so money is tight and I have a little boy who just loves to play kitchen/restaurant/picnic/etc.. So far he has done well pretending with what toys he has but he so very much wants a kitchen and food to play with. I can't believe how much plastic pretend food costs. Anyways, this pattern will help to make my son's wish come true. Thank you again.
They are beautiful. The color is great in my opinion.
Loooove them!!! thank you very much for sharing how to make them! my little guys will love this!
I had been looking for this pattern.
The pattern for these grapes are beautiful!
FINALLY! i have been searching forever for a suitable grape pattern! i found it!! i am going to make this tomorrow! cant wait!
No; you're welcome to use the finished item as a gift or in craft swaps, but I would appreciate it if you didn't sell it for profit, as I've made the pattern itself free.
This is wonderful! I have a grape theme in my kitchen and new to crocheting, but I want to give it a try. Anything you might want to add to starting out?
Awesome! I think a whole bowl full of different crochet fruit will be so much fun to make. I will be featuring and linking back in my blog so readers can come visit!
How very cute and generous of you to share with the crochet community! I plan on making these for my 2 y.o. granddaughter who's already practicing her grocery shopping skills. Has any one tried using scraps of fiberfill instead of wooden beads? I have so many small pieces leftover from previous projects and would rather recycle what I have vs spend the $ on additional materials. I do know those "white fuzzies" can stubbornly refuse to be tucked in. Just wondering if anyone has had success with that option. Thanks again!!
I'm just pleased as punch to know that my old patterns are still turning up on your searches of the vast interweb! I swear, those posts are still what bring in the most page views… If only I still had the time or patience to make new patterns. That would really bring the readers back in droves, it seems.
Holy macaroni, this blog post is almost 10 years old!

So, you're interested in selling on Amazon and want to know if Fulfillment By Amazon (FBA) is right for your business?
Here's how Amazon FBA works, how it can help grow your business, and the pros and cons to help evaluate if it's the right fulfillment method for your brand.
Fulfillment By Amazon (FBA) is an order fulfillment solution for retailers that offers storage and distribution of products through Amazon's global supply chain and distribution network.
Amazon offers this turnkey service to retailers to help them scale their business through warehousing, fulfillment, and distribution of their products — at a fee, of course.
Retailers that choose to use Amazon FBA enjoy many benefits like having an extensive distribution network and the prized FBA logo on your product detail page that customers have come to trust.
Not only do retailers benefit from the storefront and exposure of selling their products on Amazon, but they also benefit from the scalability and best-in-class global logistics capabilities that Amazon has become known for.
One of the prime reasons many businesses apply for Amazon FBA is that it allows them to rely on Amazon as their logistics partner, rather than having to create their own fulfillment process or search for a third-party service.
You can apply for Amazon FBA within Amazon Seller Center.
Next, you'll send Amazon your products to store in one or more of their fulfillment centers near your customers across the Amazon footprint.
Amazon will receive your products, sort and store them on their shelves, and enter them into their inventory.
When a customer places an order for your product, Amazon will handle the transaction entirely.
They will pick the items, box and ship them directly to the customer of your company's behalf.
The inventory count is updated, receipts and invoices are created, and order tracking is available to the customer.
What About Amazon FBA Returns?
After the order leaves the warehouse, Amazon provides customer service through its Returns Processing Center.
Customers call Amazon with any issues and use the Amazon website and app to track orders, provide feedback, and access the Help section with FAQs for assistance during the delivery process.
If there's a problem with an order, the customer processes their return through Amazon.
For a fee, Amazon FBA does nearly everything for you.
It's still your responsibility to pick the products to sell through FBA and keep the inventory of those products in stock.
For more information on how to handle FBA returns, read Why Amazon FBA Returns Are a Problem (and What You Can Do).
Exposure to the retail giant's broad-reaching network: When you become an Amazon FBA seller, you gain access to everything retailers envy about their business model. On top of that, your product is also shared on Amazon's platforms in Canada and Mexico so you receive all the benefits of Amazon across North America, not just the US.
Search placement: Amazon's algorithm favors FBA clients and ranks their products higher in search results. So not only are you purchasing a shelf in their store, you're given prime real estate to increase your visibility as the product to buy in your category on Amazon.
Operational excellence: Amazon is the standard in ecommerce retail and has been the catalyst for change across dozens of industries due to their impeccable operational efficiency. Retailers that use Amazon FBA enjoy the benefits of operational excellence by being able to offer Two-Day Shipping for Amazon Prime members, as well as create a sticky relationship with customers with the Subscribe & Save subscription service Amazon offers for automatic replenishment of goods direct to consumers.
Convenience: Products and packing materials will go to an Amazon warehouse instead of your own warehouse or stores. Any issues in the fulfillment process are solved and handled by Amazon, not you or your staff.
Cost: As with any business service, it's important to know if the value of working with Amazon FBA outweighs the cost for your particular business. Costs are determined mainly by the quantity you sell per month, size and weight of a single unit of your product, and profit margin. Additional fees apply to products that sit in inventory too long, certain categories of products (DVDs, books, flammable or risky product types), and referrals.
For 2019, Amazon made some changes to its Amazon FBA fees. To help you calculate anticipated costs, check out our Amazon FBA Calculator.
Loss of branding opportunities: With any Amazon FBA arrangement, you get the benefits of the Amazon network. However, you do have to sacrifice some branding opportunities to set yourself apart from your competition, such as your brand name on your shipping boxes, storefronts, or your own large warehouse with your logo on it.
Well, it really depends on a few, key factors related to your business and the products you plan to sell.
Estimate your FBA fees based on the type of products for sale and how many you plan to sell. Compare the estimated fees of the service against the cost to replace this service by building it yourself or using a third-party fulfillment option like ShipBob.
If you're interested in getting started with Amazon FBA, you can apply here.

IPO Prospect of PP Properti
In April 2014, Wijaya Karya (WIKA), one of the state-owned construction company in Indonesia, brought one of its subsidiary, Wijaya Karya Beton (WTON), to the Indonesia Stock Exchange through IPO. The proceeds were Rp1.2 trillion (about US$ 100 million), and the initial price of WTON was Rp590 per share. Before the IPO, the equity value of WTON was only Rp680 billion, which after divided by 6.7 billion shares, then the book value per share of the company was Rp102 per share. So it is quite clear that the public investor has paid the new shares of WTON at a very expensive price, ie almost 6-fold higher (590 versus 102) than the price 'paid' by WIKA as the majority shareholder of WTON.
Nevertheless, and probably because WTON' financial performance was quite good throughout 2014 (its profit grew 33.6% compared to 2013), plus driven by positive sentiment related to the plan of infrastructure development by the Government during the year 2014, WTON still rose significantly until briefly reached 1,400, an increase of more than two-fold from its IPO price (though it has recently moving down back).
So when another state-owned construction company, Pembangunan Perumahan (PTPP), also bring one of its subsidiaries, PP Properti (the ticker has not been determined, but let us call it PPRO), to the trading floor, then investor's attention may focus on the following question: Could the IPO of PPRO follow the IPO of WTON, who successfully made two-fold gain?
Because, just like IPO of WTON which was managed by four underwriters at once (so the 'salesmen' of its IPO were many), then this time the IPO of PPRO is even managed by five underwriters at once. I was initially wondered, why I received a lot of questions from investors about the prospects of PP Properti? But then I found out that that's because these investors received an offer from their brokers (who also the underwriters of the IPO) to participate in the IPO of PPRO. Including, the ads of the IPO are also exist everywhere, usually in the form of a review article about its 'prospects', written by brokerage analysts in the media, both print and internet (but do not worry, I can guarantee that you are now reading a completely independent analysis without any sponsor because just like you, I'm also an investor, not just a mere analyst).
In short, PPRO looked attractive because the IPO are very promoted, not because the company's fundamentals are actually good. If the IPO only managed by one underwriter, then perhaps its IPO will not be so sounding like today. On the other hand, since the birth of PPRO to the world of Stock Exchange was taken care of by five underwriters at once, then the chance of success (read: the stock rise) is fairly large unless the fundamentals of the company are very bad, say like the IPO of Garuda Indonesia (GIAA).
Anyway, let's try to learn this PP Properti since the beginning.
In 1991, PTPP as a construction company, for the first time went into the business of property developer by building Perumahan Otorita in Jatiluhur, West Java, this time in its capacity as the developer, not constructor. Since then, PTPP work on many other property projects. In 2010, PTPP made its property portfolio as one of the main business lines outside the construction as the core business of the company. And in 2013, PT PP Properti (PPRO) was officially established as a home for property business units under PTPP.
If we look at the young age of the firm, then of course PPRO did not have a solid track record in the long term where its recorded financial statements has just started in 2013, or two years ago. In the business of property development, PTPP' experience is also not more than 24 years (counted from 1991). With Rp2.7 trillion (about US$ 240 million) of assets at the end of 2014, PPRO is a small company especially when compared with the top property developers in Indonesia (Lippo Karawaci/LPKR, the largest property developer in Indonesia, had an asset of about US$ 3 billion at the end of 2014). Related to the company's prospects, PPRO also does not offer any significant prospects of future developments. At the end of 2014, PPRO has landbanks of 54 hectares only which will be developed within the next 15 – 20 years (including using the proceeds from its IPO). When compared with the landbank of Bumi Serpong Damai (BSDE) which more than 7,000 hectares, for example, then PPRO is clearly insignificant.
However, PPRO still has an advantage from its position as a subsidiary of PTPP which is one of the largest and well-established construction company in Indonesia, and the stock of PTPP itself has been gained much since its IPO in 2010, at the price of 560 (currently PTPP is traded at Rp3,850 per share). As a result, PTPP become one of the most popular construction companies in Indonesia, or at least in the eyes of investors in the Stock Exchange, so PPRO itself also became popular. In addition, the small number of company-owned landbanks is because PPRO is focus on building the superblock, which does not require vast land.
And perhaps the most important factor is, PPRO financial performance is currently in a tremendous growth momentum because there are a lot of property projects that have been started since 2012 (PPRO was then one of the divisions under PTPP), which began to produce net profit in 2014 in which the company's profit soared compared to 2013 (percentage of the increase can not be precisely calculated because PPRO financial statements for the year 2013 is only for a period of two months, ie from November to December), and the growth trend shall continue in this 2015. At the end of 2014, PPRO have at least twenty-one property development projects ranging from Patria Park Hotel to Grand Slipi Tower, where there are many of them who have started to 'bear fruit', but the fruit itself has not been 'harvested'.
So if we look at the experience in WTON, if PPRO posted an increase in net profits in its financial statements for the first half of 2015 (PPRO will listing on the Stock Exchange for the first time on May 19, so the company would not have time to publicly release its financial statements for the first quarter of 2015), the shares would likely to rise significant even if the valuation is already high. In this case we won't need to looking forward at the future prospects of the company related to the use of proceeds from the IPO, because PPRO would require a long time (at least 2 – 3 years) to use the proceeds to generate additional profits.
And what about the valuation of the shares? Is it also expensive like WTON was?
For those of you who still unfamiliar with value investing, you may be confused about how to determine whether the stock of PP Properti is expensive, reasonable, or cheap. But it is so simple: At its IPO, PPRO will sell new shares to the public at the price ranging from Rp185 to 350 per share. Before the IPO, the equity value of the company was Rp1.0 trillion PPRO, while the number of shares is 9.1 billion shares. Thus, the stock value is Rp1 trillion divided by 9.1 billion of shares, equal to Rp113 per share. If the new shares released at the lowest prices 185 per share, then it means that you as a new shareholder in the company only needs to buy the shares at a slightly higher price (185 compared to 113, meaning 1.6 time) than the paid-up capital from PTPP as the original owner of the company who is also in charge for the company's operations.
And I think it is a relatively low price, or even very low if compared to the price of WTON a year ago. If PP Properti is actually sold at the price of 185, and if in next May the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) is is still stable at the current position (5,400's), then the stock will likely to rise significantly since its first listing, and will continue to rise if its latest financial statements (financial statements of first half of 2015 will be published at the end of July 2015) of the company successfully recorded a growing performance.
However, if the new shares are released at a price of 350, then of course it can not be said to be cheap anymore. Besides, the larger increase in PPRO equity (because of the large fund from the proceeds of the IPO) will also cause the company's ROE to be very small, and it could be a negative catalyst for the stock. But well, let's hope that this PP Propert will be sold at a price 185, or (maybe) even lower.

Lessons From A Day In The ER
Wednesday - February 27, 2008
I spent an entire day in a hospital emergency room for something that turned out to be a very minor medical matter.
But it was an education about our health insurance system.
I have coverage through my wife's employer and her contributions to the plan. Medicare as a backup.
A thin-curtain-partition away from me was a 47-year-old local man with high blood pressure, and head and groin pains so severe that he could not stand up. He had no health insurance.
He's a "cash basis" worker for his brother, has no property or investments. He fell through the crack on QUEST for reasons seemingly traced to his inability to navigate the paperwork of the state's low-income health-care safety net.
A nurse asked if he was taking medicine for his high blood pressure. "Sometimes, when I can afford it," he said.
He was being admitted for longer-term observation and it appeared from what I heard (you can hear everything in a madhouse ER) that the hospital would be eating the costs.
Why do we keep slapping the cost of the uninsured on even the not-for-profit hospitals?
I'm not sure I can fully support making health insurance a cost for employers. They cannot control the health habits of their workers but they pay for health abuse in the workforce.
I'm a universal health care fan, preferably with the U.S. government as the single payer.
I'm no socialist. I think capitalism is a good thing. It built our railroads, our military prowess and - in the case of industrialist Henry J. Kaiser - our Kaiser Permanente hospital system.
But sometimes government has to be an arbiter between unbridled capitalism and the public need for health care, safety and the general welfare. Letting health care and medicine sales stay in the hands of those who say "pay me my price or do without" is not good governance.
I know there are people who will game a universal health insurance plan. Writers often say that most people don't want to be on welfare; it's shaming. Truth is that there are some people who'd just as soon go through life on somebody else's dime.
So yes, we the universal insurance payers through our taxes will be scammed by some who could pay but manage not to.
I guess that's a price you pay in a society that decides not to let any of its members fall through the cracks.
So rather than any national plan that includes some of us buying private health insurance, some of us getting it through our employers and some of us falling back on the dole, I vote for one national insurance plan, with all doctor, hospital and drug fees negotiated by the government administrator, and everyone required to pay in.
But I know many of you want to do it yourself through some non-government provider. That's going to be a stickler.
It's doable but probably will be lobbied to death by private insurers, private hospitals, drug companies and many doctors. And plenty of you ordinary users who insist on doing it your own way.
If the court master studying commercial use of Kapiolani Park needs more evidence, he can look at this month's Pro Bowl In The Park event.
Most of the park space was utilized to sell geegaws, food and NFL merchandise. Some recreation but mostly commerce booths. On the beach side of the park, the city authorized tents selling jewelry and assorted trinkets.
Clear violations of the park trust which prohibits commercial use.
We did ourselves a disservice in strictly applying the Sunshine Law to those transit experts who picked the fixed-guideway transit technology for Honolulu.
The five panelists were prohibited from meeting in other than open sessions.
That's no way to come to a technical, non-political decision. They needed to challenge each other, no holds barred, and no in-public politeness required. There was a lot of private, proprietary information among the 10 companies that competed for the contract.
So we got five experts with five pieces of the transit puzzle and they could not talk among themselves on how to put them all together.
We'll never know if we got the best or just a quickie, one-week, majority rules decision.
Nobody can under-estimate the powerful military message transmitted by the USS Lake Erie's shoot-down off Kauai of an errant American spy satellite last week.
It puts us years ahead of Russia and China and says we can probably knock down enemy missiles and eyes-in-the-sky at will.
It's an enormous leap of technology and gives the U.S. a huge stick to use in weapons negotiations.

Tony Pulis defends his Stoke record and insists he's ready for a new club - even in the Championship
Having turned Stoke into regulars in the Premier League the 55-year-old would love to repeat the trick elsewhere

Ready for work: Former Stoke boss Tony Pulis is looking for a new managerial challenge (Image: PA)

Former Stoke City manager Tony Pulis has declared that he is ready for a new managerial project and that he would be more than happy to drop into the Championship to take up a new role.
The Welshman was dismissed as Stoke boss at the end of last season, having built the club from a mid-lower Championship side upon his arrival in 2006 to a mid-table Premier League outfit who have remained safe in the top division for the past five seasons.
Moreover, he also took the Potters to the FA Cup final in 2011, whilst also leading them into Europe the following season.
And the former Potter has today spoken of his keenness on getting back into management and building a club up, in a similar manner to the job he did with the Staffordshire club.
"I want to get back in and I want to get working again, but it's got to be the right club," Pulis told talkSPORT.
"That's very important for me. It doesn't have to be a Premier League club. If it's the right Championship club then I'll do that.
"It's been nice to build things. Everybody talks about what happened on the pitch at Stoke, and rightly so, but nobody talks about the improvement off the pitch as well.
"To build their own training ground, the millions that have been spent on the Britannia, they've got category A academy status - because of them staying in the Premier League there's been enormous amounts of money that they've been able to invest in the football club.
"And the football club now is a completely different club to the one I started at."
To cap it all: Tony Pulis celebrating in 2011 as Stoke hammered Bolton 5-0 in their FA Cup semi-final clash at Wembley (Image: Michael Regan - The FA)
Nevertheless, Pulis has been widely criticised for the style of football Stoke played, not to mention their lack of goals during his final campaign - just 34 goals scored in 38 matches.
Moreover the new season has seen some Stoke players take a swipe at their former manager, leading chairman Peter Coates to ban them talking about their former boss to the media.
However, Pulis remains unperturbed by such critical lashings - even though he knows that being associated with a direct, physical style could well work against him as he looks for a new job - while comparing his public perception with that of Liverpool's Brendan Rodgers.
"Psychologically, maybe to my detriment at times, I would actually build that [the physical nature of Stoke's play] up," added Pulis.
"Our record at the Britannia was absolutely fantastic.
"I think the biggest thing in sport and in building teams is actually looking at the team you've got, and then you can evolve the team as it goes along.
"A lot of people talk about how well Brendan [Rodgers] did at Swansea, but he inherited a footballing team. Brendan had come from Reading and not been successful, he'd gone to Watford and not been successful, where he tried to implement things that didn't work.
"We had to stay in the Premier League, so which is the best way of staying in the Premier League - you play to the strengths of your team."

"Detecting IV infiltrations using a Venoscope®" by Carolyn B. Yucha, P. Russ et al.
This research evaluates the Venoscope® for its ability to detect infiltrations when present (sensitivity) and to detect the absence of infiltrations when not present (specificity), and compares these findings with those obtained via ultrasonography. Healthy adult volunteers were randomly assigned to receive or not receive an intentionally made 5-ml normal-saline infiltration. The Venoscope® had a sensitivity of .92-.93 and a specificity of .89-1.0. Ultrasound had a sensitivity of .92-.93 and a specificity of .22-25. The Venoscope®, which is simple and easy to use, is a valid indicator of the presence and absence of IV infiltrations.

Coattail investing is a strategy whereby smaller investors follow on in the footsteps of larger investors. So a money manager working for a large investment house begins a new investment strategy, this information eventually reaches the wider financial markets and then other investors, based on the perceived strength of the investment houses new investment strategy, follow on and also invest. Also known as copycat investing, it is a strategy that has stood the smaller guys in good stead for many years, and also inevitably leads to a rise in the price of the asset being invested in which also benefits the big boys who got in first. However this coattail strategy can backfire in certain situations, namely when the the investment house being copied is only investing for short term benefits. In these cases by the time the information reaches other investors further down the food chain it may not be as good a prospect. The good thing about it is that many if not most of these types of big investments are conducted under a buy-and-hold mentality, making the information valuable for far longer durations.


Olives!! - Permaculture Research Institute Sunshine Coast Inc.
This morning as usual I had a plan to do quite a few tasks however sometimes what you want and what you get don't always end up the same. It even took 4 matches to light the rocket stove so out the window went my "one match challenge" that I urge on myself and all others. It only takes one match to light a fire so make it the first one!
However the day got better.
We had a visit today from a peer and so after a great conversation we did a tour of our place and literally bumped into OLIVES! This is the first olives on our trees and I had given up on expecting any so I'm a very happy chappy.In my previous post on the food forest chop and drop I mentioned on a noticeable improvement and surely this is showing through into production.
And then as we went past the pond my young planting of acerola cherries had young fruits!
Then I thought "the Jaboticaba tree" better go check it out. Cool, tomorrows pre-breakfast fruit will be supplied by Tom!
It is so gratifying to see yield as your systems develop!

Augusta County won't allow chickens in residential areas
Supervisors who spoke against the change were concerned about threats to commercial poultry.
VERONA – People in residential areas of Augusta County won't be able to keep hens legally in the near future after a majority of the Board of Supervisors turned away a proposal to extend poultry ownership beyond agricultural areas.
Only Pastures Supervisor Tracy Pyles and North River Supervisor Marshall Pattie voted in favor of allowing backyard chickens. The supervisors opposed to the idea who spoke cited the disease threats to commercial poultry operations that support thousands of jobs in the region and the potential to burden the county's animal control, among other reasons.
Chairman Michael Shull, who represents the Riverheads District, emphasized the financial threat from disease. When avian flu hits poultry farms, Shull said, "those people are out of money for over six months," he said. "Their operations, their farms could be in jeopardy."
Pyles had tried unsuccessfully years prior to bring the proposed ordinance change to permit restricted ownership of "micro-flocks" to residentially zoned areas. He echoed the comments of the speakers who addressed the board in favor of the change who considered it a civil liberty matter for property owners who want to enjoy the presence of a few hens.
"I think it's a property rights issue. I think it's a joy issue," Pyles said.
Nearly all those who spoke at the public hearing on the proposal spoke in favor of keeping backyard chickens. They touted the simplicity and nutritional value of having chickens that reduce waste and provide fresh eggs.
Michael Rosenthal, who spoke in favor of allowing residential "micro-flocks," told supervisors that keeping a few hens is less of a burden to owners or a nuisance to neighbors than other allowable companion animals like dogs and cats.
"These are four hens in a residents' backyard, and they are really effortless and inexpensive," Rosenthal said.
After the hearing, Middle River Supervisor Larry Wills said permitting backyard chickens with a permit will encourage people to keep flocks without permits, heaping enforcement costs onto Augusta's animal control.
"Unfortunately, we have to make laws for bad actors." Wills said.

The Zapruder Film as Representational Crisis
Covert, Andrew (2018) The Zapruder Film as Representational Crisis. PhD thesis, Concordia University.
Covert_PhD_S2019.pdf - Accepted Version
Available under License Spectrum Terms of Access.
Abraham Zapruder's 26-second film of the assassination of John F. Kennedy is an indisputably unique piece of cinema. Despite its incredible currency in the world of national political history, and the shadowy world of conspiracy, it has a checkered past with regards to its assimilation into the discourse of film studies. Looked at, variably, as a piece of documentary, reportage or abstract fragment, it has been discussed largely for its cultural, historical or legal impact. This dissertation will chart its deeper implications when considered as a discrete film text and theoretical object, and will contend that, in this light, the Zapruder film participates in a fundamental disruption of the cinematic apparatus' promise of a holistic representation of reality.
This disruption will be fundamentally connected to the film's interaction with the primary theoretical concepts of attraction, indexicality and contingency as they are understood in the discipline. An investigation of the Zapruder film's formal and structural similarities to the earliest cinematic products and the disruptions connected to the cinema of attractions and early types of "event" filmmaking will be essential.
Connections to the use of attractions in experimental film will also show productive comparisons. Fiction film's connection to these issues and their engagement with the disruption proposed by the Zapruder film will also be important. Here it will be necessary to chart the way narrative can act as both a palliative and intensifying force for the epistemological uncertainty of the images proposed. Finally, we must understand the extent to which the dynamic and ever-changing context of digital remediation has affected the disruptions of the Zapruder film.
All of these considerations are not intended to fix the meaning of the Zapruder film or to detract from its impact in other realms. The key intervention of this dissertation is to open a space for it, not as an orphan child of circumstance, but deeply connected to the process and fundamental structure of cinematic representations as such. This work then is not so much recuperative as it is meant to fully understand and appreciate the depth to which film texts on the borders of the discipline can speak to its very core.
