Jet2 extends flight and holiday suspensions
Jet2 had initially suspended all flights and holidays until mid-February
Jessica SansomeSearch and trends writer
Jet2 has issued a statement (Image: PA)
Jet2 has announced an extension to its flight and holiday suspensions.
The airline and holiday company had initially suspended all flights and holidays until mid-February following the national lockdown announcement earlier this month.
They have now issued an updated statement which will affect bookings up until the end of March.
The statement read: "Due to the ongoing uncertainty and travel restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, we have taken the decision to extend the suspension of flights and holidays up to and including 25th March 2021.
"Where customers yet to travel are affected by any programme changes, our approach to providing smooth and speedy refunds has been widely praised, and we will be automatically cancelling affected bookings with a full refund.
"For customers due to travel from 26th March onwards, we will provide another update closer to the time.
"We would like to thank our customers for their patience and understanding."
Most international travel has banned across the UK - unless in exceptional circumstances - since the introduction of the national lockdown.
Government guidance states that any travel of the sort is banned and one must only leave home for strictly essential reasons as permitted by law.
Under the latest restrictions, holidays and leisure breaks are not permitted, which state "you cannot leave your home or the place where you are living for holidays or overnight stays unless you have a reasonable excuse for doing so".

Sustainability Characteristics
Sustainability Characteristics can help investors integrate non-financial, sustainability considerations into their investment process. These metrics enable investors to evaluate funds based on their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities. This analysis can provide insight into the effective management and long-term financial prospects of a fund. Learn more.
The metrics below have been provided for transparency and informational purposes only. The existence of an ESG rating is not indicative of how or whether ESG factors will be integrated into a fund. The metrics are based on MSCI ESG Fund Ratings and, unless otherwise stated in fund documentation and included within a fund's investment objective, do not change a fund's investment objective or constrain the fund's investable universe, and there is no indication that an ESG or Impact focused investment strategy or exclusionary screens will be adopted by a fund. For more information regarding a fund's investment strategy, please see the fund's prospectus.
Review the MSCI methodology behind Sustainability Characteristics, using links below.

All data is from MSCI ESG Fund Ratings as of Jan 07, 2021, based on holdings as of Nov 30, 2020. As such, the fund's sustainable characteristics may differ from MSCI ESG Fund Ratings from time to time.
To be included in MSCI ESG Fund Ratings, 65% of the fund's gross weight must come from securities covered by MSCI ESG Research (certain cash positions and other asset types deemed not relevant for ESG analysis by MSCI are removed prior to calculating a fund's gross weight; the absolute values of short positions are included but treated as uncovered), the fund's holdings date must be less than one year old, and the fund must have at least ten securities. For newly launched funds, sustainability characteristics are typically available 6 months after launch.
Business Involvement
Business Involvement metrics can help investors gain a more comprehensive view of specific activities in which a fund may be exposed through its investments.
Business Involvement metrics are not indicative of a fund's investment objective, and, unless otherwise stated in fund documentation and included within a fund's investment objective, do not change a fund's investment objective or constrain the fund's investable universe, and there is no indication that an ESG or Impact focused investment strategy or exclusionary screens will be adopted by a fund. For more information regarding a fund's investment strategy, please see the fund's prospectus.

BlackRock business involvement exposures as shown above for Thermal Coal and Oil Sands are calculated and reported for companies that generate more than 5% of revenue from thermal coal or oil sands as defined by MSCI ESG Research. For the exposure to companies that generate any revenue from thermal coal or oil sands (at a 0% revenue threshold), as defined by MSCI ESG Research, it is as follows: Thermal Coal 0.00% and for Oil Sands 0.44%.
Business Involvement metrics are calculated by BlackRock using data from MSCI ESG Research which provides a profile of each company's specific business involvement. BlackRock leverages this data to provide a summed up view across holdings and translates it to a fund's market value exposure to the listed Business Involvement areas above.
Business Involvement metrics are designed only to identify companies where MSCI has conducted research and identified as having involvement in the covered activity. As a result, it is possible there is additional involvement in these covered activities where MSCI does not have coverage. This information should not be used to produce comprehensive lists of companies without involvement. Business Involvement metrics are only displayed if at least 1% of the fund's gross weight includes securities covered by MSCI ESG Research.

Non-U.S. securities whose values are affected by volatility that occurs in global markets or in related or highly correlated assets (e.g., American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts or substantially identical ETFs) on a trading day after the close of non-U.S. securities markets may be fair valued. On days where non-U.S. securities markets are closed, BlackRock Fund Advisors, an affiliate of BlackRock Investments, LLC, will determine the fair value of the stocks traded on that local market, in accordance with policies and procedures approved by the Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. Fair value adjustments may be calculated by referring to instruments and markets that have continued to trade, such as exchange-traded funds, correlated stock market indices or index futures. Please see the Determination of Net Asset Value section of each Fund's prospectus for additional information on the Fund's valuation policies and procedures.

The maturity breakdown above is based on Weighted Average Life (WAL). WAL is the average length of time to the repayment of principal for the securities in the fund. This metric considers the likelihood that bonds will be called or prepaid before the scheduled maturity date.
Credit quality ratings on underlying securities of the fund are received from S&P, Moody's and Fitch and converted to the equivalent S&P major rating category. This breakdown is provided by BlackRock and takes the median rating of the three agencies when all three agencies rate a security, the lower of the two ratings if only two agencies rate a security, and one rating if that is all that is provided. Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low quality. Below investment-grade is represented by a rating of BB and below. Ratings and portfolio credit quality may change over time.

For funds with an investment objective that include the integration of ESG criteria, there may be corporate actions or other situations that may cause the fund or index to passively hold securities that may not comply with ESG criteria. Please refer to the fund's prospectus for more information. The screening applied by the fund's index provider may include revenue thresholds set by the index provider. The information displayed on this website may not include all of the screens that apply to the relevant index or the relevant fund. These screens are described in more detail in the fund's prospectus, other fund documents, and the relevant index methodology document.
Certain information contained herein (the "Information") has been provided by MSCI ESG Research LLC, a RIA under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and may include data from its affiliates (including MSCI Inc. and its subsidiaries ("MSCI")), or third party suppliers (each an "Information Provider"), and it may not be reproduced or redisseminated in whole or in part without prior written permission. The Information has not been submitted to, nor received approval from, the US SEC or any other regulatory body. The Information may not be used to create any derivative works, or in connection with, nor does it constitute, an offer to buy or sell, or a promotion or recommendation of, any security, financial instrument or product or trading strategy, nor should it be taken as an indication or guarantee of any future performance, analysis, forecast or prediction. Some funds may be based on or linked to MSCI indexes, and MSCI may be compensated based on the fund's assets under management or other measures. MSCI has established an information barrier between equity index research and certain Information. None of the Information in and of itself can be used to determine which securities to buy or sell or when to buy or sell them. The Information is provided "as is" and the user of the Information assumes the entire risk of any use it may make or permit to be made of the Information. Neither MSCI ESG Research nor any Information Party makes any representations or express or implied warranties (which are expressly disclaimed), nor shall they incur liability for any errors or omissions in the Information, or for any damages related thereto. The foregoing shall not exclude or limit any liability that may not by applicable law be excluded or limited.
Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Funds' prospectuses or, if available, the summary prospectuses, which may be obtained by visiting the iShares Fund and BlackRock Fund prospectus pages. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
If the Fund invests in any underlying fund, certain portfolio information, including sustainability characteristics and business-involvement metrics, provided for the Fund may include information (on a look-through basis) of such underlying fund, to the extent available.
Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments.
The Fund's environmental, social and governance ("ESG") investment strategy limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus. The Fund's ESG investment strategy may result in the Fund investing in securities or industry sectors that underperform the market as a whole or underperform other funds screened for ESG standards. In addition, companies selected by the index provider may not exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics.
Performance shown reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the investment advisor to the fund for some or all of the periods shown. Performance would have been lower without such waivers.
Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Any applicable brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Beginning August 10, 2020, market price returns for BlackRock and iShares ETFs are calculated using the closing price and account for distributions from the fund. Prior to August 10, 2020, market price returns for BlackRock and iShares ETFs were calculated using the midpoint price and accounted for distributions from the fund. The midpoint is the average of the bid/ask prices at 4:00 PM ET (when NAV is normally determined for most ETFs). The returns shown do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.
Index returns are for illustrative purposes only. Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. The after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.
Certain sectors and markets perform exceptionally well based on current market conditions and iShares and BlackRock Funds can benefit from that performance. Achieving such exceptional returns involves the risk of volatility and investors should not expect that such results will be repeated.
Distribution Yield and 12m Trailing Yield results may have period over period volatility due to factors including tax considerations such as treatment of passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), treatment of defaulted bonds or excise tax requirements; exceptional corporate actions; seasonality of dividends from underlying holdings; significant fluctuations in fund shares outstanding; or fund capital gain distributions.

CondoTop 10 Condo Appreciation Developments In The Past 5 Years
by Druce
FacebookTweetEmailShares7
With the highest capital gain on our condo appreciation list at 76.1% in the past 5 years, it's no surprise that many Singaporeans believe that owning a property is the key to success, or to achieve wealth. After all, on such a small island nation, land space will always be a premium. Furthermore, Singapore's remarkable transformation from its kampung days to a first world country (plus stable Government policies) have boosted the growth in the property prices. Which is why there is such an emphasis on condo appreciation in Singapore.
Before we get right into it, here is an explanation of how the data is presented. In simple terms, it is just the lowest PSF recorded in the development and the average recorded PSF in the past 5 years. We did not take into account that it had to be the same unit that was bought and sold.
Without further ado, here is the list!
Top 10 Condo Appreciation Developments in the Past 5 Years
1. Taipan Jade
Taipan Jade is a small freehold apartment with only 12 units located in Rose Lane in District 15. Having been completed in 2005, it is getting on in age and doesn't have the most attractive of names. Despite those shortcomings, if you consider condo appreciation for the past 5 years, it tops our list at 76.1%! With the lowest price coming in at $632 PSF and recently hitting an average high of $1,113 PSF.
2. Parc Vera
Parc Vera is a 99 year leasehold condominium located at Hougang Street in District 19. It was completed quite recently in 2015 and has a total of 452 units. It does not have the best links to the MRT, with Hougang MRT station a 15-minute walk away. Regardless, it was still enough to come in second on this list with a condo appreciation of 68.1%. The lowest price for the development was at $608 PSF and it reached an average of $1,022 PSF over the past 5 years.
3. Botannia
Botannia is a 956 years (as good as freehold) condominium at West Coast Park in District 5. It was built in 2009 and has a total of 493 units. Again, this is not a development that you would look for if you are reliant on the MRT. Nonetheless, it managed to achieve a capital gain of 45.8%. The lowest PSF for the development was at $829 PSF and it reached an average of $1,209 PSF over the past 5 years.
4. Domus
Domus is a freehold condominium located at Irrawaddy Road in District 12. It was built in 2012 and has 104 units. It is not too far from Novena MRT station at about a 10-minute walk. It achieved a capital gain of 45.1%. The lowest PSF recorded was at $820 PSF and it attained an average of $1,190 PSF over the past 5 years.
5. The Petals
The Petals is a freehold condominium situated at Hillview Avenue in District 23. It was completed in 2002 and has a total of 270 units. The closest MRT station is at Hillview on the Downtown Line but this is some distance away. Despite that, it has garnered a capital gain of 43.2%. The lowest PSF recorded was at $760 PSF and the average was $1,088 PSF over the past 5 years.
6. Le Regal
Le Regal is a freehold apartment located at Geylang in District 14. It was completed in 2016 and has a total of 88 units. It is about an 8-minute walk from Aljunied MRT station. Over the past 5 years, it has achieved a capital gain of 41.8%. The lowest PSF recorded was $954 PSF and the average was $1,353 PSF.
7. Skyline 360
Skyline 360 is a freehold condominium located at St Thomas Walk in District 9. It achieved its TOP status in 2013 and has a total of only 61 units. It is currently a 7-minute walk to Somerset MRT station and will be equally close to the Great World MRT station on the Thomson East Coast Line when it is completed. It recorded a capital gain of 41.6%. The lowest PSF recorded was $1,574 PSF and the average was $2,229 PSF.
8. Spottiswoode Residences
Spottiswoode Residences is a freehold condominium located at Spottiswoode Park in District 2. It was completed in 2014 and has a total of 351 units. It is currently an 11-minute walk to Outram Park MRT station but its real selling point is its proximity to SGH and the CBD. It achieved a capital gain of 38.5%, with the lowest PSF recorded at $1,327 PSF and the average at $1,838 PSF.
9. Trevose Park
Trevose Park is a freehold condominium located at Trevose Crescent in District 11. It was completed in 1991 and has a total of 150 units. It is a short 8-minute walk to Stevens MRT station.

"If we love one another, God abideth1 in us, and His love will be perfected in us. In this know we that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He hath given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and are witnesses that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour ofthe world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him."
1. Love is a sweet word, but sweeter the deed. To be always speaking of it, is not in our power: for we have many things to do, and divers businesses draw us different ways, so that our tongue has not leisure to be always speaking of love: as indeed our tongue could have nothing better to do. But though we may not always be speaking of it, we may always keep it. Just as it is with the Alleluia which we sing at this present time,2 are we always doing this? Not one hour, I do not say for the whole space of it, do we sing Alleluia, but barely during a few moments of one hour, and then give ourselves to something else. Now Alleluia, as ye already know, means, Praise ye the Lord. He that praises God with his tongue, cannot be always doing this: he that by his life and conduct praises God, can be doing it always. Works of mercy, affections of charity, sanctity of piety, incorruptness of chastity, modesty of sobriety, these things are always to be practiced: whether we are in public, or at home; whether before men, or in our chamber; whether speaking, or holding our peace; whether occupied upon something, or free from occupation: these are always to be kept, because all these virtues which I have named are within. But who is sufficient to name them all? There is as it were the army of an emperor seated within in thy mind. For as an emperor by his army does what he will, so the Lord Jesus Christ, once beginning to dwell in our inner man, (i.e. in the mind through faith), uses these virtues as His ministers. And by these virtues which cannot be seen with eyes, and yet when they are named are praised-and they would not be praised except they were loved, not loved except they were seen; and if not loved except seen, they are seen with another eye, that is, with the inward beholding of the heart-by these invisible virtues, the members are visibly putin motion: the feet to walk, but whither whither they are moved by the good will which as a soldier serves the good emperor: the hands to work; but what that which is bidden by charity which is inspired within by the Holy Ghost. The members then are seen when they are put in motion; He that orders them within is not seen: and who He is that orders them within is known almost alone to Him that orders, and to him who within is ordered.
4. But perchance it will have struck some of you all along, while we have been expounding to you this epistle of blessed John, why it is only "brotherly" love that he so emphatically commends. "He that loveth his brother," saith he: and, "a commandment is given us that we love one another."14 Again and again it is of brotherly love that he speaks: but the love of God, i.e. the love with which we ought to love God, he has not so constantly named; howbeit, he has not altogether left it unspoken. But concerning love of an enemy, almost throughout the epistle, he has said nothing. Although he vehemently preaches up and commends charity to us, he does not tell us to love our enemies, but tells us to love our brethren. But just now, when the Gospel was read, we heard, "For if ye love them that love you, what reward shall ye have? Do not even the publicans this? "15 How is it then that John the apostle, as the thing of great concern to us in order to a certain perfection, commends brotherly love; whereas the Lord saith it is not enough that we love our brethren, but that we ought to extend that love so that we may reach even to enemies? He that reaches even unto enemies does not overleap the brethren. It must needs, like fire, first seize upon what is nearest, and so extend to what is further off. A brother is nearer to thee than any chance person. Again, that person has more hold upon thee whom thou knowest not, who yet is not against thee, than an enemy who is also against thee. Extend thy love to them that are nearest, yet do not call this an extending: for it is almost loving thyself, to love them that are close to thee Extend it to the unknown, who have done thee no ill. Pass even them: reach on to love thine enemies. This at least the Lord commands. Why has the apostle here said nothing about loving an enemy.
5. All love,16 whether that which is called carnal, which is wont to be called not "dilectio" but "amor:" (for the word "dilectio" is wont to be used of better objects, and to be understood of better objects:) yet all love, dear brethren, hath in it a wishing well to those who are loved. For we ought not so to love, nor are we able so to love, (whether "diligere" or "amare:" for this latter word the Lord used when He said, "Petra, amas me?" "Peter, lovest thou me?") we ought not so to love17 men, as we hear gluttons say, I love thrushes. Thou askest why he loves them? That he may kill, that he may consume. He says he loves, and to this end loves he them, that they may cease to be; to this end loves he them, that he may make away with them. And whatever we love in the way of food, to this end love we it, that it may be consumed and we recruited. Are men to be so loved as to be consumed? But there is a certain friendliness of well wishing, by which we desire at some time or other to do good to those whom we love. How if there be no good that we can do? The benevolence, the wishing well, of itself sufficeth him that loves. For we ought not to wish men to be wretched, that we may be enabled to practise works of mercy. Thou givest bread to the hungry: but better it were that none hungered, and thou hadst none to give to. Thou clothest the naked: oh that all were clothed, and this need existed not! Thou buriest the dead: oh that it were come at last, that life where none shall die! Thou reconcilest the quarrelling: oh that it were here at last, that eternal peace of Jerusalem, where none shall disagree! For all these are offices done to necessities. Take away the wretched; there will be an end to works of mercy. The works of mercy will be at an end: shall the ardor of charity be quenched? With a truer touch of love thou lovest the happy man, to whom there is no good office thou canst do; purer will that love be, and far more unalloyed. For if thou have donea kindness to the wretched, perchance thou desirest to lift up thyself over against him, and wishest him to be subject to thee, who hast done the kindness to him. He was in need, thou didst bestow; thou seemest to thyself greater because thou didst bestow, than he upon whom it was bestowed. Wish him thine equal, that ye both may be under the One Lord, on whom nothing can be bestowed.
6. For in this the proud soul has passed bounds, and, in a manner, become avaricious. For, "The root of all evils is avarice;"18 and again it is said, "The beginning of all sin is pride."19 And we ask, it may be, how these two sentences agree: "The root of all evils is avarice;" and, "The beginning of all sin is pride." If pride is the beginning of all sin, then is pride the root of all evils. Now certainly, "the root of all evils is avarice." We find that in pride there is also avarice, (or grasping;) for man has passed bounds: and what is it to be avaricious to go beyond that which sufficeth. Adam fell by pride: "the beginning of all sin is pride," saith it: did he fall by grasping? What more grasping, than he whom God could not suffice? In fact, my brethren, we read how man was made after the image and likeness of God: and what said God of him? "And let him have power over the fishes of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over all cattle which move upon the earth."20 Said He, Have power over men? "Have power," saith He: He hath given him natural power: "have power" over what? "over the fishes of the sea, the fowl of the heaven, and allmoving things which move upon the earth." Why is this power over these things anatural power? Because man hath the power from this; that he was made after the image of God. And in what was he made after God's image? In the intellect, in the mind, in the inner man; in that he understands truth, distinguishes between right and wrong, knows by whom he was made, is able to understand his Creator, to praise his Creator: he hath this intelligence, who hath prudence. Therefore when many by evil lusts wore out in themselves the image of God, and by perversity of their manners extinguished the very flame, so to say, of intelligence, the Scripture cried aloud to them, "Become not ye as the horse and mule which have no understanding."21 That is to say, I have set thee above the horse and mule; thee, I made after mine image, I have given thee power over these. Why? Because they have not the rational mind: but thou by the rational mind art capable of truth, understandest what is above thee: be subject to Him that is above thee, and beneath thee shall those things be over which thou was set. But because by sin man deserted Him whom he ought to be under, he is made subject to the things which he ought to be above.
7. Mark what I say: God, man, beasts: to wit, above thee, God; beneath thee, the beasts. Acknowledge Him that is above thee, that those that are beneath thee may acknowledge thee.22 Thus, because Daniel acknowledged God above him, the lions acknowledged him above them. But if thou acknowledge not Him that is above thee, thou despisest thy superior, thou becomest subject to thine inferior. Accordingly, how was the pride of the Egyptians quelled? By the means of frogs and flies.23 God might have sent lions: but a great man may be scared by a lion. The prouder they were, the more by the means of things contemptible and feeble was their wicked neck broken. But Daniel, lions acknowledge, because he was subject to God. What the martyrs who were cast to the wild beasts to fight with them, and were torn by the teeth of savage creatures, were they not under God? or were those three men servants of God, and the Maccabees not servants of God? The fire acknowledged as God's servants the three men, whom it burned not, neither hurt their garments;24 and did it not acknowledge the Maccabees?25 It acknowledged the Maccabees; it did, my brethren, acknowledge them also. But there was need of a scourge, by the Lord's permission: He hath said in Scripture, "He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth."26 For think ye, my brethren, the iron would have pierced into the vitals27 of the Lord unless He had permitted its or that He would have hung fastened to the tree, unless it had been His will? Did not His own creature acknowledge Him? Or did He set an ensample of patience to His faithful ones? Ye see then, God delivered some visibly, some He delivered not visibly: yet all He spiritually delivered, spiritually deserted none. Visibly He seemed to have deserted some, some He seemed to have rescued. Therefore rescued He some, that thou mayest not think that He had not power to rescue. He has given proof that He has the power, to the end that where he doth it not, thou mayest understand a more secret will, not surmise difficulty of doing. But what, brethren? When we shall have come out of all these snares of mortality, when the times of temptation shall have passed away, when the river of this world shall have fleeted by, and we shall have received again that "first robe,"28 that immortality which by sinning we have lost, "when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption," that is, this flesh shall have put on incorruption, "and this mortal shall have put on immortality;"29 the now perfected sons of God, in whom is no more need to be tempted, neither to be scourged, shall all creatures acknowledge: subjected to us shall all things be, if we here be subjected to God.
8. So then ought the Christian to be, that he glory not over other "men." For God hath given it thee to be over the beasts, i.e. to be better than the beasts. This hast thou by nature; thou shall always be better than a beast. If thou wish to be better than another man, thou wilt begrudge him when thou shall see him to be thine equal. Thou oughtest to wish all men to be thine equals; and if by wisdom thou surpass any, thou oughtest to wish that he also may be wise. As long as he is slow, he learns from thee; as long as he is untaught, he hath need of thee; and thou art seen to be the teacher, he the learner; therefore thou seemest to be the superior, because thou art the teacher; he the inferior, because the learner. Except thou wish him thine equal, thou wishest to have him always a learner. But if thou wish to have him always a learner, thou wilt be an envious teacher. If an envious teacher, how wilt thou be a teacher? I pray thee, do not teach him thine enviousness. Hear the apostle speaking of the bowels of charity: "I would that all were even as I."30 In what sense did he wish all to be his equals? In this was he superior to all, that by charity he wished all to be his equals. I say then, man has past bounds; he would needs be greedy of more than his due, would be above men, he that was made above the beasts: and this is pride.
9. And see what great works pride does. Lay it up in your hearts, how much alike, how much as it were upon a par, are the works it doeth, and the works of charity. Charity feeds the hungry, and so does pride: charity, that God may be praised; pride, that itself may be praised. Charity clothes the naked, so does pride: charity fasts, so does pride: charity buries the dead, so does pride. All good works which charity wishes to do, and does; pride, on the other hand, drives at the same, and, so to say, keeps her horses up to the mark. But charity is between her and it, and leaves not place for ill-driven pride; not ill-driving, but ill-driven. Woe to the man whose charioteer is pride, for he must needs go headlong! But that, in the good that is done, it may not be pride that sets us on, who knows? who sees it? where is it? the works we see: mercy feeds, pride also feeds; mercy takes in the stranger, pride also takes in the stranger; mercy intercedes for the poor, pride also intercedes. How is this? In the works we see no difference. I dare to say somewhat, but not I; Paul hath said it: charity dies, that is, a man having charity confesses the name of Christ, suffers martyrdom: pride also confesses, suffers also martyrdom. The one hath charity, the other hath not charity. But let him that hath not charity hear from the apostle: "If I distribute all my goods to the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.31 So then the divine Scripture calls us off from the display of the face outwardly to that which is within; from this surface which is vaunted before men, it calls us off to that which is within. Return to thy own conscience, question it. Do not consider what blossoms outwardly, but what root there is in the ground. Is lust rooted there? A show there may be of good deeds, truly good works there cannot be. Is charity rooted there? Have no fear: nothing evil can come of that. The proud caresses, love32 is severe. The one clothes, the other smites. For the one clothes in order toplease men, the other smites in order to correct by discipline. More accepted is the blow of charity than the alms of pride. Come then within, brethren; and in all things, whatsoever ye do, look unto God your witness. See, if He seeth, with what mind ye do it. If your heart accuse you not that ye do it for the sake of display, it is well: fear ye not. But when ye do good, fear not test another see you. Fear thou lest thou do it to the end that thou mayest be praised: let the other see it, that God may be praised. For if thou hidest it from the eyes of man, thou hidest it from the imitation of man, thou withdrawest from God His praise. Two are there to whom thou doest the alms: two hunger; one for bread, the other for righteousness. Between these two famishing souls:-as it is written, "Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled:"33 - between these two famishing persons thou the doer of the good work art set; if charity does the work by occasion of the one, therein it hath pity on both, it would succor both. For the one craves what he may eat, the other craves what he may imitate. Thou feedest the one, give thyself as a pattern to the other; so hast thou given alms to both: the one thou hast caused to thank thee for killing his hunger, the other thou hast made to imitate thee by setting him an example.
10. Shew mercy then, as men of merciful hearts; because in loving enemies also, ye love brethren. Think not that John hasgiven no precept concerning love of our enemy, because he has not ceased to speak of brotherly love. Ye love brethren. "How," sayest thou, "do we love brethren?" I ask wherefore thou lovest anenemy. Wherefore dost thou love him? That he may be whole in this life? what if it be not expedient for him? That he may be rich? what if by his very riches he shall be blinded? That he may marry a wife? what if he shall have a bitter life of it? That he may have children? what if they shall be bad? Uncertain therefore are these things which thou seemest to wish for thine enemy, in that thou lovest him; they are uncertain. Wish for him that he may have with thee eternal life; wish for him that he may be thy brother: when thou lovest him, thou lovest a brother. For thou lovest in him not what he is, but what thou wishest that he may be. I once said to you, my beloved, if I mistake not: There is a log of timber lying in sight; a good workman has seen the log, not yet planed, just as it was hewn from the forest, he has taken a liking to it, he would make something out of it. For indeed he did not love it to this end that it should always remain thus. In his art he has seen what it shall be, not in his liking what it is; and his liking is for the thing he will make of it, not for the thing it is. So God loved us sinners. We say that God loved sinners: for He saith, "They that are whole need not the Physician, but they that are sick."34 Did He love us sinners to the end we should still remain sinners? As timber from the wood our Carpenter saw us, and had in His thoughts the building He would make thereof, not the unwrought timber that it was. So too thou seest thine enemy striving against thee, raging, biting with words, exasperating with contumelies, harassing with hatred: thou hast regard to this in him, that he is a man. Thou seest all these things that are against thee, that they were done by man; and thou seest in him that he was made by God. Now that he was made man, was God's doing: but that be hates thee, is his doing; that he has ill-will at thee, is his doing. And what sayest thou in thy mind? Lord, be merciful to him, forgive him his sins, strike terror into him, changehim. Thou lovest not in him what he is, but what thou wishest him to be. Consequently, when thou lovest an enemy, thou lovest a brother. Wherefore, perfect love is the loving an enemy: which perfect love is in brotherly love. And let no man say that John the apostle has admonished us somewhat less, and the Lord Christ somewhat more. John has admonished us to love the brethren; Christ has admonished us to love even enemies. Mark to what end Christ hath bidden thee to love thine enemies. That they may remain always enemies? If He bade it for this end, that they should remain enemies, thou hatest,35 not lovest. Mark how He Himself loved, i.e. because He would not that they should be still the persecutors they were, He said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."36 Whom He willed to be forgiven, them He willed to be changed: whom He willed to be changed, of enemies He deigned to make brethren, and did in truth make them so. He was killed, was buried, rose again, ascended into heaven: sent the Holy Ghost to His disciples: they began with boldness to preach His name, they did miracles in the name of Him that was crucified and slain: those slayers of the Lord saw them; and they who in rage had shed His blood, by believing drank it.
11. These things have I said, brethren, and somewhat at length: yet because charity was to be more earnestly commended to you, beloved, in this way was it to be commended. For if there be no charity in you, we have said nothing. But if it be in you, we have as it were east oil upon the flames. And in whom it was not, perchance by words it hath been kindled. In one; that which was there hath grown; in another, that hath begun to be, which was not. To this end therefore have we said these things, that ye be not slow to love your enemies. Does any man rage against thee? he rages, pray thou; he hates, pity thou. It is the fever of his soul that hates thee: he will be whole, and will thank thee. How do physicians love them that are sick? Is it the sick that they love? If they love them as sick, they wish them to be always sick. To this end love they the sick; not that they should still be sick, but that from being sick they should be made whole. And how much have they very often to suffer from the frenzied! What contumelious language! Very often they are even struck by them. He attacks the fever, forgives the man. And what shall I say, brethren? does he love his enemy? Nay, he hates his enemy, the disease; for it is this that he hates, and loves the man by whom he is struck: he hates the fever. For by whom or by what is he struck by the disease, by the sickness, by the fever. He takes away that which strives against him, that there may remain that from which he shall have thanks. So do thou. If thine enemy hate thee, and unjustly hate thee; know that the lust of the world reigns in him, therefore he hates thee. If thou also hate him, thou on the other hand renderest evil for evil. What does it, to render evil for evil? I wept for one sick man who hated thee; now bewail I thee, if thou also hatest. But he attacks thy property; he takes from thee I know not what things which thou hast on earth: therefore hatest thou him, because he puts thee to straits on earth. Be not thou straitened, remove thee to heaven above; there shalt thou have thine heart where there is wide room, so that thou mayest not be straitened in the hope of life eternal. Consider what the things are that he takes from thee: not even them would he take from thee, but by permission of Him who "scourgeth every son whom He receiveth."37 He, this same enemy of thine, is in a manner the instrument38 in the hands of God, by which thou mayest be healed. If God knows it to be good for thee that he should despoil thee, He permits him; if He knows it to be good for thee that thou shouldest receive blows, He permits him to smite thee: by the means of Him He careth for thee: wish thou that he may be made whole.
13. "And we have seen, and are witnesses, that God hath sent His Son to be the Saviour of the world."42 Set your minds at rest, ye that are sick: such a Physician is come, and do ye despair? Great were the diseases, incurable were the wounds, desperate was the sickness. Dost thou note the greatness of thine ill, and not note the omnipotence of the Physician? Thou art desperate, but He is omnipotent; Whose witnesses are these that first were healed, and that announce the Physician: yet even they are made whole in hope rather than in the reality. For so saith the apostle: "For by hope we are saved."43 We have begun therefore to be made whole in faith: but our wholeness shall be perfected "when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality."44 This is hope, not the reality. But he that rejoiceth in hope shall hold the reality also: whereas he that hath not the hope, shall not be able to attain unto the reality.
14. "Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him and he in God."45 Now we may say it in not many words; "Whosoever shall confess;" not in word but in deed, not with tongue but with the life. For many confess in words, but in deeds deny: "And we have known and believed the love which God hath in us."46 And again, by what hast thou come to know this? "Love is God." He hath already said it above, behold he saith it again. Love could not be more exceedingly commended to thee than that it should be called God. Haply thou wast ready to despise a gift of God. And dost thou despise God? "Love is God: and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God dwelleth in him." Each mutually inhabiteth the other; He that holdeth, and he that is holden. Thou dwellest in God, but that thou mayest be holden: God inhabiteth thee, but that He may hold thee, lest thou fall. Lest haply thou imagine that thou becomest an house of God in such sort as thine house supports thy flesh: if the house in which thou art withdraw itself from under thee, thou fallest; but if thou withdraw thyself, God falleth not. When thou forsakest Him, He is none the less; when thou hast returned unto Him, He is none the greater.47 Thou art healed, on Him thou wilt bestow nothing; thou art made clean, thou art new-made, thou art set right: He is a medicine to the unhealthy, is a rule for the crooked, is light for the bedarkened, is an habitation for the deserted. All therefore is conferred on thee: see thou imagine not that ought is conferred upon God by thy coming unto Him: no, not so much as a slave. Shall God, forsooth, not have servants if thou like not, if all like not? God needs not the servants, but the servants need God: therefore saith the Psalm, "I have said unto the Lord, thou art my God."48 He is the true Lord. And what saith it? "For of my goods Thou hast no need." Thou needest the good thou hast by thy servant. Thy servant needeth the good he hath by thee, that thou mayest feed him; thou also needest the good thou hast by thy servant, that he may help thee. Thou canst not draw water for thyself, Canst not cook for thyself, canst not run before thy horse, canst not tend thy beast. Thou seest that thou needest the good thou hast by thy servant, thou needest his attendance. Therefore thou art not a true lord, while thou hast need of an inferior. He is the true Lord, who seeks nothing from us; and woe to us if we seek not Him! He seeks nothing from us: yet He sought us, when we sought not Him. One sheep had strayed; He found it, He brought it back on His shoulders rejoicing.49 And was the sheep necessary for the Shepherd, and not rather the Shepherd necessary for the sheep?-The more I love to speak of charity, the less willing am I that this epistle should be finished. None is more ardent in the commending of charity. Nothing more sweet is preached to you, nothing more wholesome drunk by you: but only thus if by godly living ye confirm in you the gift of God. Be not ungrateful for His so great grace, who, though He had one Only Son, would not that He should be alone a Son; but, that He might have brethren, adopted unto Him those who should with Him possess life eternal.

Nersa sets May 24 deadline for comment on overhauled SSEG exemption rules
Photo by Creamer Media
The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) has finally released a consultation paper for an updated Licensing Exemption and Registration Notice for certain categories of small-scale embedded generators (SSEGs), which was submitted to the regulator for its concurrence by Energy Minister Jeff Radebe late last year.
Stakeholders and members of the public have been invited to comment on the draft amendment to the Electricity Regulation Act, with a deadline of May 24 set for submissions.
The notice seeks to replace the November 2017 Licensing Exemption and Registration Notice, which is widely accepted to be "flawed" and which has also caused significant market uncertainty.
The new notice exempts various categories of SSEG plant under 1 MW from the requirement to apply for and hold a licence under the Act, including a facility that supplies electricity to a customer who is an end-use customer.
One operated to supply an end-use customer, or related customers by wheeling.
And the operation of a generation facility for demonstration purposes only, whether or not the facility is connected to a transmission or distribution network.
The notice also covers existing generation facilities, including those that filed for registration with the regulator within six months of commencement of the registration process by the regulator.
It also covers the trading of electricity by a reseller.
Separately, Nersa's electricity subcommittee approved, on May 13, registration applications for 16 SSEGs and one cogenerator in line with the 2017 Licensing Exemption and Registration Notice, which remains in force until the new notice is promulgated.

South Africa welcomes Nersa's withdrawal of SSEG registration rules
Nonprofit organisation, the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa), has welcomed the National Energy Regulator of South Africa's (Nersa's) decision to withdraw the proposed rules to govern the registration of small-scale embedded generation (SSEG) below 1 MW.
The proposed SSEG rules were published for public comment by Nersa on its website last month.
On Monday, Nersa executive manager for electricity regulation Mbulelo Ncetezo said the draft rules had been withdrawn until the Department of Energy (DoE) gazettes a revised notice.
Outa believes there is a lack of clarity by those in authority as to the need and purpose for the registration of SSEG.
The organisation is also concerned about Nersa's readiness to administer the registration process, says Outa energy portfolio manager Ronald Chauke.
Earlier this month, Outa formally objected to Nersa's proposed rules and called on the DoE to level the playing field and create an enabling environment.
Outa says the DoE should clarify to what extent the public and commercially interested entities would be empowered to introduce self-sufficiency initiatives to meet their daily electricity requirements.
"Tapping into free natural resources, such as solar and wind power, should not be controlled or subjected to an onerous registration process, especially if these systems are ringfenced and not linked to the grid," notes Outa.
The organisation believes the new direction of energy self-sufficiency poses a significant threat to State-owned power utility Eskom's future, with an envisaged dip in sales volumes, and that government's unnecessary interference is likely to attract a legal challenge to the constitutionality of such actions.
Outa calls on the DoE to draft its amended regulations in such a manner that reduces government inference and encourages the promotion of the rights and processes of energy self-sufficiency in SSEG.
Additionally, Outa believes the DoE should not meddle with the safety and specifications of the requirements or standards of SSEG, as this is best overseen by the South African Bureau of Standards and other regulatory bodies – which take their guide from other countries where the specifications for solar panels, generators, wind turbines and other systems have already been set.

NERSA Consultation Paper on the Guidelines on Electricity Resellers' Tariff
The National Energy Regulator ('the Energy Regulator') is embarking on a consultation process on the Guidelines for the Electricity Reseller Tariffs in South Africa. This consultation process follows six regional stakeholder workshops conducted by the Energy Regulator in October 2011 at Cape Town, Nelson Mandela Bay, Bloemfontein, East London, Durban and Johannesburg.
With the amendment of the Electricity Regulation Act, 2006 (Act No. 4 of 2006) which
might have an impact on the definition of reseller, the Energy Regulator has refocused
the approach to develop a resellers/traders tariff instead of the regulatory framework of
electricity resale. To continue with the consultations process, the Energy Regulator is
requesting that stakeholders comment on the issues and proposals set out in this paper.
The Energy Regulator will subsequently make its decision based on the written
comments on this consultation paper as well as the scheduled public hearing.
Stakeholders are requested to send their comments on the issues raised in this
document to the following email address: electricityresale@nersa.org.za

Information for Prospective Governors
Every school has a Governing Body which could consist of between 9 and 20 people depending on the size of the school. Weatherhead has 20 Governors made up as follows:-
7 Community Governors
2 Partnership Governors,
4 Staff Governors (1 Support Staff, 2 Teaching Staff and the Headteacher)
7 Parent Governors
The term of office of a Governor is usually four years, but Governors can resign earlier if necessary. It is estimated, that it can take a couple of years to fully get to know the job and therefore, Governors are encouraged to carry on for a further term of office if circumstances allow, although Parent Governors must be re-elected by parents of students at the school.
The Headteacher is an ex officio Governor. Staff Governors are either teachers or support staff at the school and are elected by their colleagues. Community Governors are appointed by other Governors as representatives of the wider local community, as business representatives, or because of particular skills they can bring to the Governing Body.
The Headteacher is an ex officio Governor. Parent Governors are elected by other parents, Staff Governors are elected by their colleagues and Community Governors are appointed by other Governors as representatives of the wider local community, as business representatives, or because of particular skills they can bring to the Governing Body.
As an Academy, being appointed as a Governor, also means you become a Trustee and a Company Director. (Please see links to 'General Duties of Directors' and 'The Essential Trustee' below).
Why do schools need Governors?
Every school has a Governing Body to represent the public in the running of schools. The Governing Body supports the Headteacher and staff and is accountable to its stakeholders for the school's overall performance and for decisions it has made.
The Governing Body has a strategic role to promote high standards of educational achievement, ensuring that adequate plans are made and legal obligations are met. Governors will contribute to the strategic discussions at Governing Body meetings which determine:-
The vision and ethos of the school
Clear and ambitious strategic priorities and targets for the school
That all children, including those with special educational needs, have access to a broad and balanced curriculum
The Academy's budget, including expenditure of the pupil premium allocation, determining the staff complement and making decisions on staff pay
The Academy's staffing structure and key staffing policies
The principles to be used by Academy leaders to set other Academy policies
Will ensure the Academy and staff have sufficient resources and support required to do their jobs well, including external advice where necessary and suitable premises and that the way in which resources are used has impact
The Governing Body will be involved in the appointment of the Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher and determine how the appointment of other staff will be managed. It establishes procedures for management of staff conduct, discipline and staff grievances. It annually reviews the Academy's Performance Management Policy for staff appraisal.
The Governing Body will hold senior leaders to account by monitoring the Academy's performance, this includes:-
Agreeing the outcomes from the Academy's self-evaluation and ensuring they are used to inform the priorities in the School Development Plan
Considering all relevant data and feedback provided on request by school leaders and external sources on all aspects of academy performance
Asking challenging questions of school leaders
Ensuring senior leaders have arranged for the required audits to be carried out and receiving the results of those audits
Ensuring senior leaders have developed the required policies and procedures and the school is operating effectively according to those policies
Acting as a Link Governor on a specific issue, making relevant enquiries of the relevant staff and reporting to the Governing Body on the progress of the relevant Academy priority
Listening to and reporting to the Academy's stakeholders i.e. students, parents, staff and the wider community, including local employers.
The Governing Body provides a sense of direction for the work of the school, Governors work together with the Headteacher as a team and support the work of the school as a critical friend; to hold the school to account for the standards and quality of education it achieves.
A good Governing Body will therefore:-
Take a strategic view
Be a 'critical friend'
Ensure accountability
Do school Governors need qualifications?
Schools need volunteers (whether parents or not) with experience of life, but some Governors may have qualifications/professional skills. Governors do not have to be educational experts, and are here to provide an independent view and common sense approach. Governors bring a range of experience and interests from many walks of life.
What you do need is: enthusiasm; energy; time; a willingness to be open to new ideas and attend basic training; along with good communication/interpersonal skills.
Being a Governor involves being committed and giving significant amounts of time and energy. There are also additional duties to have regard to under the Companies Act and the Charity Act. Careful consideration of these commitments should be made when agreeing to serve on the Governing Body (see below).
How much time does a school Governor have to give?
This depends on what you are able to offer. You will need time to attend at least one Full Governing Body meeting per term, this is a statutory requirement.
Most Governing Bodies have a number of Committees. This is the case here at Weatherhead. Governing Body obligations may have been delegated to Committees as appropriate. These Committees are usually made up of perhaps 3–5 members to look at specific areas of work, e.g. Finance & Resources, Curriculum or Staffing. The Committees make decisions on behalf of the Governing Body, or recommendations depending on its Terms of Reference. Most of the statutory termly meetings are held during the evening, but committees may meet in the day or evening.
As you gain confidence in your role as a Governor/Director/Trustee, it will be anticipated that you will want to join at least one Committee. Committees usually meet once or twice a term. You may be asked to serve on panels of Governors to appoint or appraise the Headteacher, set the Headteacher's pay and agree the pay recommendations for other staff. You may also be expected to deal with matters regarding students or staff e.g. student exclusions or staff grievances or disciplinary matters.
As an Academy, Weatherhead Governing Body must work within its Articles of Association. The school and Governors are also subject to duties and responsibilities as laid out in the Companies Act and the Charity Act.
As a Governor, upon your appointment, you will also become a Director and will be registered as such against the Academy at Companies House. You must therefore ensure that there is no reason why you may not become a Director when considering applying for a Governor vacancy. You will also be appointed as a Trustee under the Charity Act involving regulations and monitoring by the Charities Commission e.g. ensuring duties regarding the spending of public monies by the school are in accordance with all rules, regulations and guidance. Details of general duties are set out in the two documents below entitled General Duties of Directors and The Essential Trustee. However, please do not be put off by these duties. Upon appointment you will receive a Governors' Handbook and other information to assist you in your role. During your term of office there will also be regular in-house training sessions and training available from outside providers that you will be able to attend. Governors are encouraged to challenge or question any aspect they are unsure of during training, meetings, or upon receipt of information and the Clerk to Governors, the Chair of Governors or the Headteacher are always available to answer or clarify any question you may have.
So, in a nutshell, what does a Governing Body do?
The Governing Body has a responsibility to:-
Promote and maintain high standards of educational attainment
Agree the School Development Plan
Set an annual budget detailing planned spending
Approve a staffing structure
Make sure that the curriculum is balanced and broadly based and report on students' achievement and examination results
Draw up an action plan following an Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education) report
Produce policies on a number of issues including Sex Education, S.E.N
Appoint staff, ensuring the implementation of a range of personnel procedures
Secure high levels of attendance and good standards of student behaviour
Ensure the safeguarding and health & safety of students and staff
Develop the strategic plan for the Academy, acting as a critical friend and ensuring accountability
Deal with complaints against the Academy

Demonstrating that solid human process drive stock performance
To demonstrate the effectiveness of the M&E Value From Human Factors method (formerly known as M&E Ratings), M&E ran two indexes in Brazil and Hong Kong. These "Stars Indexes" applied the M&E method in selecting and weighing their component companies. The Stars Indexes were operated in cooperation with Euromoney media in Latin American and Asia. Most importantly, the Brazil Stars Index consistently outperformed the Ibovespa between 60% and 70% over the period of 9 years. The Hong Kong Stars Index outperformed the Hang Seng by roughly 20% over a period of 4 years.
The approach employed in the M&E Stars Indexes is fundamentally different from other portfolio approaches in that it,
financially quantifies component companies according to their management performance (M&E rating score) and weigh them in the index´ according to this value,
includes fewer companies because the weighting according to management performance obviates having to diversity across numerous companies and sectors; risk is reduced because of high, sector adjusted management scores
has a higher predictive value because it uses management values which drive future financial performance.
M&E LatinFinance Brazil Stars Index
M&E BDO Asiamoney Hong Kong Sustainable Stars Index
M&E was the first to publish ethics ratings in 2002, and since then has pioneered calculating the financial impacts of ESG for companies and investors. The long term outperformance of our Brazil and Hong Stars Indexes is public proof of the effectiveness of M&E´s proprietary ESG methods.
