This week on family game night we played a really fun new dice game from USAopoly called Rollers. It was a ton of fun. A game full of matching, rolling, and strategic fun. We also got to try out some yummy cornbread crisps from Farmer's Pantry. They sent us three flavors that were all really tasty.
Rollers is a fun dice game. The basic goal of the game is to roll dice to collect matching sets of dice to fill up your game board. Along the way use a bit of strategy to collect chips from other players. It's a great game for a small group of players 2-5. It's simple enough that younger kids can play, ages 8 and up. I actually let my 7 year old play and she had not problems with it. It's fun, involves strategy and a great new dice game for all to enjoy.
The game is designed for groups of 2-5 players. Suitable for ages 8 and up. My 7 year old played it with no problems though. If you enjoy dice games then you will love this game. It's not to difficult so a large variety of ages and enjoy it but it's challenging enough with the earning chips portion of the game that it's enjoyed by older kids and adults as well. We all had a lot of fun playing it from my youngest at 7 years old all the way up to me and my husband in our thirties. It's really hard to find a game that is fun for all ages since we have younger and older kids but this one was really great for everybody.
Yes it is lots of fun. Fast paced enough that it keeps you on your toes. The strategy portion with the chips keeps it interesting and competitive. The play is easy enough that everyone can have a lot of fun with it and enjoy it.
To set up the game each player chooses a game board (each one is a different color) and a corresponding set of game board pieces to mark your progress. Each player also receive ten purple chips and five white chips. Decide who will be going first by rolling the dice. When it's your turn you simply roll the dice. You get three turns and you can save dice during your three turns and roll the remaining dice. You are trying to roll sets of numbers. So to get your 1 section you need to roll 1-1, to get your 2 section you need to roll 2-2's, 3-3's, 4-4's and 5-5's. On the sets you have two steps, first you need to open that number by rolling enough of each number (previously described). Once you open a set you can then close it by rolling 1 additional die of that number. So to open and close the 1's section you will need to roll two 1's and so on. You can open and close a section in one roll or you can just open it and close it in a later turn. The second part to this game is the chip earning portion. Once you have opened and closed a section you use dice that you have rolled in that section to collect chips from other players who have not closed that section yet. So for example if I have a closed 3's section and I roll 2 additional threes in a later round then I can ask the other players who have not closed their 3's section to give me 6 chips. The chips did confuse us a little bit at the beginning (so in our video we did not have the chips down yet but we quickly figured it out once we started playing). So chips are based on the number so if you roll a 3 you get 3 chips, 4 then you get 4 chips, etc. So you will count up the number of chips you get from each player based on your roll. At first I thought it meant you get a chip (either color) but then we figured out that you use the 5 point and 1 point chips to give them the amount they rolled so if someone needs 8 chips then you could give them a 5 (purple chip) and 3 (white chips) worth 1 each. Once someone has completed their board, opened and closed all of their numbers then that round is over. The person who completed their board first gets 2 points and the person with the most chips gets 1 point, it can be the same person or two different people. Keep track of your points at the top of the board with your board colored markers. The person to get 5 points first wins.
No concerns for this one. It's a fun and educational game for all ages.

Q: What is the method signature when it uses an external param name in Swift I'm using an NSTimer object in my Swift code, which requires a method signature to be passed to its 'selector' parameter in order to recurrently perform said method. When the method  signature does not have an external parameter name i.e.
func timerMethod(internal: String) { ... }

I can pass the timer object this signature as so:
var timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(1.0,
        target: self,
        selector: Selector("timerMethod:"),
        userInfo: userInfo,
        repeats: true)

However, if I give the method a signature with an external parameter name, such as:
func timerMethod(external internal: String) { ... }

I can't figure out how to call the method. I attempted to log it using:
println("\(__FUNCTION__)")

Which logs the following:
timerMethod(external:)

But whenever I try this or any of the following, I receive 'unrecognized selector' exceptions:
timerMethod:
timerMethod:external
timerMethod:external:
timerMethod:(external)
timerMethod:(external:)
timerMethod(external):

Stumped for now. Anybody running into something similar?

A: It is timerMethodWithExternal: you can test that with object_getClass(t).instancesRespondToSelector(Selector("timerMethodWithExternal:"))
i used following code to introspect
func with(t: Test, inout count : CUnsignedInt) -> UnsafePointer<Method> {
    var mc : CUnsignedInt = 0
    return class_copyMethodList(object_getClass(t), &count)
}

var i=0
var mc : CUnsignedInt = 0
var t = Test()
var mlist = with(t,&mc)
var n : Int = Int(mc)
for (i=0; i<n;i++) {
    println(sel_getName(method_getName(mlist[i])))
}

A: Although the signature for your method doesn't look correct, in Swift you pass a selector simply as the string name.  The Apple documentation:

Because string literals can be automatically converted to selectors,
  you can pass a string literal to any method that accepts a selector.

As for the signature of NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval, the Apple documentation states (See NSTimer documentation, Swift info):

The selector should have the following signature: timerFireMethod:
  (including a colon to indicate that the method takes an argument). The
  timer passes itself as the argument, thus the method would adopt the
  following pattern:

func timerFireMethod(timer: NSTimer) { }

When you define your own method as:
func timerMethod(external internal: String) { ... }

then you are not meeting the required signature.  The expected call is:
someMethod(timer: ...)

but your call would be:
someMethod(external: ...)

Besides, the argument should be of type NSTimer, not String.  You were probably lucky that your first attempt worked.

A: FWIW, I ran into the same problem and was also able to confirm the proper selector name by inspecting the Xcode-generated header file in the derived data folder for my project.
Just search for your method's name ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData and for the original poster's example you would find that the selector to be used is timerMethodWithExternal: (from its Objective-C definition).
I believe this header is generated even for pure Swift projects, the project I tested on had some Objective-C in it though.

Staffing shortages in medical practices often create precarious situations in which physicians and their teams are forced into picking up slack to help ensure high-quality levels of patient care. Over time, this can lead to a culture of burnout and stress, as well as have negative implications on the overall patient experience due to limited appointment availability and/or a lack of timely follow up on test results, messages and other medical requests.
"In today's healthcare environment of being faced with a physician shortage and a fluctuating employment landscape, it is more important than ever to align with partners that share the same vision for creating positive change for medical providers," said Halee Fischer-Wright, MD, MMM, FAAP, FACMPE, president and chief executive officer at MGMA. "Our partnership with Jackson Physician Search will provide our members with a recruitment partner that has a proven track record of filling searches quickly and cost effectively."
"Quickly recruiting candidates who fit the culture and will succeed in the role is a testament to our commitment to be the only search firm to use an all-digital sourcing strategy," added Tony Stajduhar, president, Jackson Physician Search.

Digital innovation and its impact on the airport business
by Guest Author | Apr 1, 2018
Airport IT Digital Transformation Q&A
An interview with Rene Armas Maes, Managing Director, Jet Link International
Airports are testing and rolling out new biometric passenger facial recognition and fingerprint scanning devices to ease check-in and passenger flows to improve the overall passenger travel experience. As passenger traffics grows, airports are met with the task of creating more efficiency throughout their airport at every touch point. Digital innovation will not only streamline current practices bit potentially revamp the entire airport experience. Rene Armas Maes, Managing Director of Jet Link International provides his expert advice and unique insight into these new transformative technologies.
ACI World and SITA have forecasted airports will spend more than US$9 billion in IT investment this year. What are the top IT investment priorities for airports?
Passenger self-services continue to dominate airport IT investment strategies. These services include biometric-enabled self-services, such as bag drop, unassisted e-gate services and border clearance kiosks for travellers entering or returning to a country. In addition, mobile apps and cloud-based software, known as a SaaS platform, are top priorities especially for mega hub airports as it allows airlines and ground handlers to share physical space and IT resources at an airport. Also, one can observe a big push for location-based technology such beacon technology.
Regarding Wi-Fi strategy, we understand the discussion airports are having today on how to monetize said investment through a tiered Wi-Fi business model. But at the same time, airports are trying to push airport retail sales. Wouldn't they contradict?
That is a very good question. A commercial balance between free Wi-fi capabilities for basic internet browsing including retail and airport services purchase vs. more sophisticated high-speed service options should be evaluated.
In a typical airport, you will observe three classes of service with different economic models: unlimited complimentary Wi-Fi service supported by a sponsor, standard one size fits all paid services and subscription based for frequent business travellers who see the airport as an extension of their office.
But I see the opportunity to further add at least two other commercial opportunities:
Limited complimentary basic internet browsing time
And a high-speed semi premium internet browsing services up to 30 Mbps (megabits per second)
Therefore, we can observe why it is important that airports consider a tiered Wi-Fi strategy because consumers have different needs. Furthermore, when it comes to connectivity there is a need to further segment your customers and optimize revenues. As an example, a premium Wi-Fi service can be offered at a discounted price in exchange of passengers' willingness to complete a detailed passenger profile.
How can location-based technology or beacons help airports to maximize revenues and improve passenger journey through the airport?
Sensor or beacon technology can help airports understand and monitor passenger flows through the terminals especially at critical points and during peak times. Therefore, they can assist airports to avoid congestion, meet or exceed service levels and certainly optimize sales. Likewise, iBeacon-enabled mobile app can offer wayfinding for passengers to truly enjoy an immersive travel experience. A beacon located at a check-in counter area can help airports proactively manage passenger flows while minimizing bottlenecks. Collecting and analyzing this real-time data allows airports to optimize passenger flows and maximize time spent in areas with revenue potential such as airport concessionaires.
How an airport can get started in this digital transformation journey?
Today, a digital strategy for airports is a core strength.
For starters, airports need to map out passenger flows at terminals and processes to ascertain current airport travel experience by key areas from check-in to baggage claim. They must also identify where their "pain points" are by immersing themselves in their customers shoes.
Also, it is imperative to conduct a complete evaluation of the IT business from its infrastructure all the way to the operational challenges. Understanding global digital trends and identifying which technology can be employed to improve customer service, reduce cost and increase commercial operations is also a key component.
The ACI Airport Digital Transformation working group has also produced a Digital Airport Survey, which includes a self-assessment document for airports to be able to identify where they are along the digital transformation journey: from mobile app and Wi-Fi to innovation lab, chatbots and biometrics. ACI Airport Digital Transformation Best Practices also covers potential functional areas of application of digital transformation at airports.
ACI Airport Digital Transformation Best Practices
To conclude, keep in mind that digitalization yields potential for both additional revenues and cost efficiency as well as improved travel experience and human capital productivity.

But here's something to consider: if sin is the common human experience, why do we allow ourselves to be outraged when people sin or make mistakes? Wouldn't we be more constructive to celebrate the moments when humans don't behave sinfully? What about when a driver makes space for you instead of cutting you off? That's noteworthy! What about when a government does something positive that exceeds your expectations? This might not be often, but that's exactly why we should celebrate it! And when a Christian leader has a moral failure, let's not be so much outraged as we should pray for them & have sincere compassion because we identify with our own shortfalls.

'As far as I am concerned, this is ... the most complex crisis we've ever seen due to the number of factors in play'
Spanish Economy Minister Pedro Solbes speaking to the Spanish radio station Punto Radio September 2008
"'The global imbalances have to add up to zero and so, if the US is going to be less the consumer importer of last resort, then other countries are going to need to be in different positions as well."
Director of the US president's National Economic Council Larry Summers, speaking over lunch with the FT's Chrystia Freeland.
Basically what we now have before us - as Pedro Solbes pointed out before being uncerimoniously defenestrated from the inner circle of the Spanish government - is an extremely complex situation and problem set. The background has evidentally been an unprecedented global financial and economic crisis, but this crisis has affected countries unequally, and it is noteworthy just how many people in what could be called the "weaker" countries have often sought refuge in the global nature of the crisis, rather than asking themselves just what it is exactly about their own particular economy that makes them "weaker", and more vulnerable, and why the crisis has struck more severely "here" rather than "there". Thus there is a great danger that people take refuge in the fact that the crisis is global in order to avoid thinking about the actual reality that faces them. This danger becomes even more of an issue as some countries begin timidly to return to growth, leaving others stuck in the mire - and possibly in danger of bringing the whole pack of cards tumbling down on top of them again. One such danger is evident in China (for which see the numerous warnings from Andy Xie) but others are for me somewhat nearer home, on Europe's periphery. A number of countries in Eastern Europe immediately come to mind - not only the Baltics, but also Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Serbia and Croatia. And in Southern Europe Spain and Greece stand out as in particular need of what Jean Claude Trichet would undoubtedly call "extreme vigilance".
If we leave out Russia (which is arguably a rather special case due to its dependence on energy revenue), then the simple fact of the matter is that what all of these countries had in common during the bubble years was that they were all running large (unrealistically large) current account deficits, which were produced to fuel strong credit driven housing and consumption booms. The crisis has struck all these countries like a shot of lightening for the simple reason that under present conditions such current account deficits are now no longer sustainable.
Now, the only way forward for such countries, as Paul Krugman points out (citing Reinhardt and Rogoff) is to export their way back to growth, and to demonstrate how this might work Krugman produced a simple chart in his Lionel Robbins lectures, which although rather rough and ready does serve the purpose adequately well.
So the central point I wish to make is that all these countries now need to run current account and trade surpluses to generate headline economic growth and to start paying down the external debt they accumulated during the heady years of the boom. Countries are no different to households in this sense. And the wider the current account deficit at the height of the boom, the bigger the correction needed. Without the much needed correction these countries simply will not recover, and we will see the famous "L" shaped recovery. If people think otherwise they are simply deluding themselves.
The situation in the US and the UK is, of course, not that different structurally from that which is to be found in some parts of Eastern and Southern Europe, but it is less extreme, in that the Current Account deficit peaked at between 5% & 6% of GDP. This is still large, and correcting it is going to be one of the very good reasons that the global economiy ISN'T going to return to any kind of strong growth anytime soon, given the strategic importance of the economies concerned.
The UK and the US do, however, have one large and significant advantage over the worst affected countries in South and East of Europe, and this lies in the fact they can issue debt in their own currency, and they can allow that currency to devalue, and that in fact is the road that both these countries are now going down. But remember, the result of this is that US and UK consumers will now play little part in facilitating headline growth in the global economy, since they themselves will now be net savers. But most of the worst affected East European economies are either locked-into currency pegs with the euro (the Baltics and Bulgaria), or cannot devalue very far due to the strong dependence on forex loans (Romania and Hungary) or both. Nor can these countries realistically expect to issue debt in their own currencies. So they are in effect in a very parlous situation, on financial life support from the EU and the IMF, while unable to make sufficient adjustments sufficiently quickly to stop unemployment rising out of hand, and non performing loans piling up in the banking sector.
Which brings us to Southern Europe. Italy is a case apart - since it is "simply" suffering from a kind of ageing-related terminal slow death "Venice style", and thus has a different problem set - in particular, while the Italian government is heavily in debt, Italian households are strong net savers, and thus any eventual default would be largely a "home team" issue. Portugal, Greece and Spain, on the other hand, were all running large CA deficits between 2000 and 2008, and these are deficits are now being forceably closed. But of course, and here comes the rub, these countries don't have their own currency - they have to issue debt in euros, and they can't simply fuel inflation (like they did in the past) since they can't print money, only the ECB can do that, and the ECB is a multi-national not a national institution.
Now people over at the ECB are well aware of this problem, and the bank is facilitating all the liquidity these countries need in the short term, but it is so very important important to understand this only aids liquidity, it does not resolve the solvency-related issues (which the individulal countries have to sort out for themselves) and in fact the short term palliative only adds to long term accumulated debt problem if the breathing space offered is not taken advantage of. And, here comes the problem, since all the available evidence suggests that the correction the ECB would like to be funding is either not taking place, or is taking place too slowly to be of much use. That is, the ECB has the funding capacity, but it does not have the necessary political clout.
Take Spain for example - Spain's external debt is continuing to rising even as I write, while at the same time GDP is falling, and will continue to fall untill we get back to export competitiveness. Worse, nominal GDP (that is current price GDP) is now falling faster than real (inflation-adjusted) GDP, so the value of the debt remains - in money terms - where it is, while GDP shrinks in relation to this absolute reference point - both in real terms, and even more so in nominal terms. I have been following this problem in Japan for the best part of a decade now, and the solution is evidently not an easy one, since - if you take the core core price index - Japan never really came out of deflation after 1998, and land prices are now back at the levels of somewhere in the early 1980s. Needless to say, if this repeats itself in Spain, the mess will not be a pretty one, and the problem for the ENTIRE global financial system will be substantial, due to the counterparty risk element.
So we are really caught on the horns of a dilema here, Spain and other EU periphery countries have to deflate (willingly or unwillingly, they need to carry out what has now come to be known as "internal devaluation") but so long as they fail to do this and to attract sufficient investment for new export industries to turn the economic dynamic around AND as long the rest of the global economy doesn't recover strongly enough with some countries starting to shoulder significant deficits again, then we are all only going to plumb the bottom. Worse, unemployment will continue to mount, and bad debts pressurise the banking system, which is where the next shoe might then not only drop, but be forced right off the foot first.
The only way in which it would be possible for these countries to attract the necessary investment to be able to start to create employment employment again would be to restore competitiveness, and over the time horizon we should be thinking about this is impossible for them to do via productivity improvements alone: hence the pressing urgency for the "internal devaluation" solution.
And let's not be fooling ourselves here - the main reason those famous government bond "spreads" have all tightened so impressively recently has been the willingness of the ECB to discount the national government bonds which are first purchased by local financial entities and then passed on for discounting at the ECB - a practice one of my Spanish friends calls the "truco del almendruco" (that is, you sell the 10,000 euro new car for 9,995 euros thus changing the key headline digit, giving everyone the impression there has been a large and significant discount, and, oh yes, first of all you need to dump a wheelbarrow load of cash on the banks - in this case on a one year financing basis).
"Between October 2008 and April 2009 MFIs' net purchases of debt securities issued by the euro area general government sector totalled €217 billion in the context of rapidly declining short-term interest rates. This entirely reversed the net sales of €191 billion observed between December 2005 and September 2008 in the context of rising short-term interest rates."
ECB Monthly Bulletin, June 2009
So what I am saying is that the ECB is effectively conducting expansionary fiscal policy in the Eurozone countries - by buying a large part of the new government debt, a state of affairs which is in fact equivalent to conducting Quantitative Easing via the back door, while the EU/IMF tandem is offering similar support to the key countries in the East. Anatole Kaletsky made a similar point in the Times back in June, when the ECB announced its €442 billion of new cash into the euro money markets in what was the biggest long-term lending operation in the history of central banking and roughly equivalent to half the Fed's entire monetary expansion in the past 18 months.
The Fed has "monetised" roughly $1 trillion of US Government debt since 2007, if we combine its Treasury and agency bond buying. Meanwhile, the ECB has lent $1.5 trillion to the euro-area banks. But what have the euroland banks done with this new money? They have lent most of it straight to their governments. Indeed, the governments in Ireland, Greece, Portugal, Spain and Austria would long-since have gone bust had it not been for the willingness of the commercial banks in these struggling economies to buy unlimited quantities of government bonds with money borrowed from the ECB. And these bond purchases have, in turn, been used as collateral for more ECB borrowings, which could be used to buy more government bonds.
In effect, therefore, the ECB has been lending money by the shed-load to governments, with commercial banks acting merely as a fig leaf for what would otherwise be seen as a blatant monetisation of the most insolvent European countries' public debt.
Now Anatole only has it half right here, the objective is not to finance dubious government debt in semi-bankrupt countries (Italy, for example), but to enbale those countries who had been running extraordinarily large current account deficits (Spain, Greece and Portugal) to close the deficits gradually (ie without precipitating a dramatic implosion in their economies) by facilitating government borrowing to fill the gap left by domestic and corporate deleveraging. The situation I am trying to describe is perhaps best illustrated by the following chart on Financial Balances prepared by PNB Paribas Chief European Economist Dominic Bryant for a recent research report on Spain.
As households and companies desperately try to save, to put some sort of order back into their balance sheets, government steps in (Krugman's push button "G") to help ease the transition. Such a policy is, of course, all well and good and totally justified (since there is effectively no alternative), so long as the structural transition which such support is meant to facilitate is actually carried through. And this is a big if, especially since most of the evidence we have seen to date suggests it isn't.
And then there is the Irish case, and the proposal to create a "bad bank" (NAMA). According to Minister of Finance Brian Lenihan the Irish State plan to buy up toxic property loans with a current face value of €60 billion and investment property loans with a book value of €30 billion, all in exchange for Government bonds. And how will the Irish government finance a possible €90 billion (or two thirds of 2008 GDP) in bonds? We the government plans to pay the banks in bonds which they can then redeem for cash over at the ECB. Obviosuly there is little other way, with such a high proportion of GDP, but has anyone started to think what will happen if the Spanish exchequer is faced with an equivalent proportional sum to clean up bad loans in Spanish banks. Spain, remember is the only major country where there was a property bubble where the banks have not had a substantial capital injection.
And in my humble opinion the ECB will only be willing and able to continue with this kind of policy for a limited period of time, since they will not be in a position to keep accumulating Irish, Austrian and Southern European bonds ad infinitum, and the sovereign governments won't be able to keep increasing their debt load for ever. Just look, for example at the kind of dynamic Spanish public finances have entered in 2009 (see the acceleration in the cash basis deficit shown for 2009 in the chart below - the evolution is almost exponential, and it still hasn't stopped the haemorrage of jobs out of the economy).
We also need to think about the risk the ECB is running of accumulating substantial capital losses if there is a sovereign debt problem (which there most likely will be at some point if the correction is not carried out) in one of the member states as the size of the ECB position simply grows by the day, and ultimately the German and French taxpayers will have to pay the losses being steadily accumulated, something I feel they will be very reluctant if those in the worst case scenario countries continue to harp on about a global economic and financial crisis whilst effectively doing nothing to put their own house in order.
Precisely this point was raised a while back by Willem Buiter on his Mavercon Blog:
The first vacuum is that there is no single fiscal authority, facility or arrangement which can re-capitalise the ECB/Eurosystem when the Eurosystem makes capital losses that threaten its capacity to implement its price stability and financial stability mandates.
The second related vacuum is that there is no single fiscal authority, facility or arrangement which can re-capitalise systemically important border-crossing financial institutions in the EU or the Euro Area, or provide them with other forms of financial support.
When the Bank of England develops an unsustainable hole in its balance sheet, Mervyn King knows he only needs to call one person: Alistair Darling, the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer. If the Fed were to become dangerously decapitalised, Ben Bernanke also needs to call just one person: Tim Geithner , the US Secretary of the Treasury. It is possible that no-one in the US Treasury will pick up the phone, as none of the senior political appointments below Geithner are in place yet, but Geithner clearly would be the man to call.
Whom does Jean-Claude Trichet call if the Eurosystem experiences a mission-threatening and mandate-threatening capital loss? Does he have to make 16 phone calls, one to each of the ministers of finance of the 16 Euro Area member states? Or 27 phone calls, one to each of the ministers of finance of the 27 EU member states whose NCBs are the shareholders of the ECB? I don't know the answer, and I doubt whether Mr. Trichet does.
Maybe one day all those phones will be ringing, only for the caller to hear that old Elvis automated operator resonse - "no such number, no such zone".
The G20 Needs A Real Rethink And A New Plan
So, coming back to where we started, growth in Germany and France. Such growth is unlikely to be anything like as strong as most commentators and analysts seem to be expecting. France will most likely do rather better than Germany, given that the German economy can't really move forward till other key economies move, due to export dependence. The German economy may well even ultimately contract over 2009 as a whole by more than the Spanish economy, and I expect Germany's problems (like Japan's) to continue well into 2010, simply because both these countries are now very high median age societies which are completely dependent on exports to grow - which means that now that the UK, US, Eastern and Southern Europe are no longer running current account deficits, Germany and Japan are very hard pressed to get the level of trade surplus they so badly need for achieving sustainable headling GDP growth, which brings us back to Krugman's joke about which planet is going to do the importing?
Structurally the previous drivers of growth will now fail to work, since as Krugman suggests, all the former CA deficit countries now need to export and run trade surpluses to grow and straighten out their financial imbalances , and it is not clear which countries can buy all the added output, especially when countries in general are still reducing imports, and certainly not about to open up deficits which would soak up all those new surpluses.
Essentially, I would close by emphasising that I am not a complete catastrophist, since I think there is a mid term solution out there - and that the answer lies in steadily unwinding the global demographic and wealth imbalances, through the economic development of a number of key emerging economies - in a way which would perhaps be similar to the implementation of the Marshall Plan which is what really brought the first great global depression to an end.
The problem is that I think we are still some years away from being able to get any sort of agreement on such a programme - as everyone will have noted the G20 isn't really talking about this yet, although I think they eventually will. In the meantime we all have to stagger forward. And it is the risk of further "events" occuring in countries like Latvia and Spain that make all this staggering onwards and downwards ever so dangerous. In all the key countries involved - the Baltics, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary in the East, and Portugal, Greece and Spain in the South - government support is simply not sufficient to arrest the contraction in Krugman terminology simply hitting the "G" button will not work, and these economies are steadily "imploding" in on themselves, with the result, as I keep stressing, that unemployment inexorably rises, and bad debts simply mount up in the banking system, and if nothing is done to change course the outcome is surely a foregone conclusion.
The principal difference between the East and the South is that in the East governments no longer have the capacity to continue to sustain large deficits, while in the South they continue to be able to do so, though even here they cannot hold out indefinitely. Sometime in late 2010 or early 2011 all of this will, with a horrid and almost deterministic inevitability, all come to a head.
And this is why, I personally take the view that the global financial and economic crisis is far from over. There is another stage yet to come, and the focus of the problem will be Southern and Eastern Europe.

Edward 'the bonobo' is a Catalan economist of British extraction based in Barcelona. By inclination he is a macro economist, but his obsession with trying to understand the economic impact of demographic changes has often taken him far from home, off and away from the more tranquil and placid pastures of the dismal science, into the bracken and thicket of demography, anthropology, biology, sociology and systems theory. All of which has lead him to ask himself whether Thomas Wolfe was not in fact right when he asserted that the fact of the matter is "you can never go home again".
He is currently working on a book with the provisional working title "Population, the Ultimate Non-renewable Resource".
Apart from his participation in A Fistful of Euros, Edward also writes regularly for the demography blog Demography Matters. He also contributes to the Indian Economy blog . His personal weblog is Bonobo Land . Edward's website can be found at EdwardHugh.net.

Penshurst Place wins essential support
Penshurst Place and Gardens receives grant from Government's £1.57bn Culture Recovery Fund
Penshurst Place and Gardens in the Weald of Kent is among almost 450 heritage organisations in England that have been awarded cash from the first round of the Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage
Grants of up to £1 million will deliver support for the heritage sector in England with further support to follow and larger grants for capital projects awarded through the Heritage Stimulus Fund
First major tranche of funding from the Government's £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund
Penshurst Place and Gardens, a family-owned historic house and garden in the Weald of Kent is one of 445 heritage organisations across the country set to receive a financial boost from the government thanks to the £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund to help them through the coronavirus pandemic.
445 organisations will share £103 million,to help restart vital reconstruction work and maintenance on cherished heritage sites, keeping venues open and supporting those working in the sector.
Penshurst Place and Gardens have been awarded just over £107,000 which will be spent on much needed infrastructure improvements in the Garden including a new irrigation system, a new digital interpretation of the House and Gardens, outdoor wedding equipment and improvements to the CRM system.
General Manager Ben Thomas says "Like many other businesses, we have not been immune to the devastating impact Covid-19 has had on all facets of our operations. This funding has provided a welcome opportunity for us to safeguard the House, Gardens and wider estate for future generations to continue to enjoy. We are grateful to the Department of Culture Media and Sport for this vital funding and are looking forward to getting started with the new projects it has enabled us to work on".
This vital funding is from the Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage and the Heritage Stimulus Fund - funded by Government and administered at arms length by Historic England and the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Both funds are part of the Government's £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund which is designed to secure the future of Britain's museums, galleries, theatres, independent cinemas, heritage sites and music venues with grants and loans.
433 organisations will receive a share of £67 million from the Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage to help with costs for operating, reopening and recovery. As an awardee, Penshurst Place sits among many other famous heritage sites across the country who also received funding, including Wentworth Woodhouse in Yorkshire, Blackpool's Winter Gardens, Blyth Tall Ship, The Kent and East Sussex Railway, the International Bomber Command Centre in Lincolnshire to the Piecehall in Halifax. The funds will help sites that are a source of pride for communities across the country.
12 organisations, including English Heritage, Landmark Trust, Historic Royal Palaces and the Canal and River Trust, will receive £34 million from the Heritage Stimulus Fund to restart construction and maintenance on cherished heritage sites to preserve visitor attractions and protect livelihoods.
Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said:
"As a nation it is essential that we preserve our heritage and celebrate and learn from our past. This massive support package will protect our shared heritage for future generations, save jobs and help us prepare for a cultural bounceback post covid."
Ben Thomas, General Manager at Penshurst Place, said:
Penshurst Place is a truly special place. It has been cared for by the Sidney family since 1552 and remains in their hands today. Supported by a small and dedicated team of staff, the historic house, gardens and wider parkland have a legacy spanning the literary, horticultural and architectural worlds.
The wider 2,500 acres estate continues to support tenant farmers and a variety of sites of ecological importance, whilst the myriad of public footpaths and cycle paths provide welcome green space to all who wish to make use of them.
It is of the upmost importance to preserve heritage sites wherever possible, the history, the people and the love that has gone into Penshurst Place throughout the centuries is priceless, and we are thrilled to have been awarded the funding to ensure this legacy continues.
Duncan Wilson, Historic England's Chief Executive said:
"It is heartening to see grants, both large and small, from the Government's Culture Recovery Fund helping heritage sites and organisations across the country which have been hit hard by the effects of Covid-19. These grants range from giving skilled craft workers the chance to keep their trades alive to helping heritage organisations pay the bills, and to kick-starting repair works at our best-loved historic sites. The funding is an essential lifeline for our heritage and the people who work tirelessly to conserve it for us all, so that we can hand it on to future generations."
Ros Kerslake, Chief Executive of the National Lottery Heritage Fund said:
"It is absolutely right that investing in heritage should be a priority during this crisis and this support by Government is crucial. Heritage creates jobs and economic prosperity, is a major driver for tourism and makes our towns, cities, and rural areas better places to live. All of this is so important for our wellbeing and will be particularly vital when we start to emerge from this incredibly difficult time.
"Our heritage is still facing a perilous future – we are not out of the woods yet. But this hugely welcome funding from Government, and the money we continue to invest from the National Lottery, has undoubtedly stopped heritage and the organisations that care for it being permanently lost."
Kate Mavor, Chief Executive of English Heritage, said:
"This support for our nation's heritage is fantastic news. Over the last few months, our teams have been working hard to welcome visitors back safely to the great castles, stone circles, abbeys and historic houses in our care.

Oppo A71 Price Cut in India
January 24, 2018 Mobile news
Oppo A71 was launched in India back in September last year. The smartphone at launch was priced at Rs. 12,990, and has since seen a drop to Rs. 10,990 for its market operating price (MOP). Gadgets 360 has learnt that the smartphone is available at Rs. 9,990 (MOP) via offline retailers, with the new market operating price effective from Wednesday, January 24. Notably, the price drop is not yet visible on Amazon India or Flipkart, where the smartphone is still listed at Rs. 11,990, while Paytm Mall still lists it at Rs. 12,290. We've reached out for a statement from Oppo India, and will update this space when we hear back.
Prior to the India launch in September, the Oppo A71 was seen listed on the Oppo Pakistan and Oppo Malaysia sites. The Oppo A71 is a dual-SIM (Nano) smartphone that features a metal unibody and 4G VoLTE calling technology. The smartphone runs on Android 7.1 Nougat based ColorOS 3.1 custom skin. It is powered by a 64-bit octa-core 1.5GHz MediaTek MT6750 SoC coupled with 3GB of RAM and Mali T860 GPU. The Oppo A71 sports a 5.2-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) TFT display.
For photography, the Oppo A71 boasts of a 13-megapixel camera with 1/3.06-inch sensor size, LED flash, PDAF, and an f/2.2 aperture on the rear side. For selfies, the smartphone has a 5-megapixel front camera with an f/2.4 aperture. Oppo says that the rear camera on A71 is equipped with "Multi-Frame Denoising technology, making for clearer pictures under low light conditions, with greater details and more realistic colours." Even though the smartphone doesn't carry a dual camera setup, Oppo claims that the cameras offered in A71 are capable of producing Bokeh effect for portraits.
Oppo's A71 bears 16GB of inbuilt storage that is expandable via microSD card (up to 256GB). The connectivity options include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth v4.0, 3.5mm audio jack, and Micro-USB (with OTG). The sensors on board include accelerometer, ambient light sensor, digital compass, and a proximity sensor. The smartphone gets its juice from a 3000mAh battery that supports fast charging functionality. The Oppo A71 measures 148.1x73.8x7.6mm and weighs 137 grams.

Used medical equipment can be an answer to prayer when you're broke but desperately in need of a wheelchair or other DME device. It is our privilege to connect you with agencies that can provide you with free, refurbished, gently used medical equipment.
Of course, these programs are usually very local so you'll need to scroll to find your state!
What is used medical equipment?
Used medical equipment refers to clean, refurbished durable medical equipment. These items, like wheelchairs and hospital beds, are no longer needed by their original owners. They have been donated, fixed up, cleaned thoroughly and are now available to others who may need them. Since most of these items are donated, they are usually available for free.
Obviously, the inventory varies depending on the donations received by each agency. You'll need to contact the provider nearest you for details.
Who qualifies for free used medical equipment?
We have listed many, many different used medical equipment providers in this list. Each one sets their own standards for who qualifies for their items. Some agencies serve everyone, with no restrictions. Some have income guidelines, location guidelines or other criteria.

The McLeod County Planning Advisory Commission made quick work of six items at its Wednesday, May 24, meeting.
Two of those involved conditional use permit applications for secondary dwellings on farm sites for family care.
One of those applications was from Matt and Amanda Dallmann for property owned by Delmer Schmidt on 130th Street near Glencoe.
Zoning Administrator Larry Gasow said that once the dwelling occupied by the person or persons needing health care was vacated, one of the dwellings would need to be removed from the property. Depending on whether the building was stick-built or a mobile unit, there would be time period of six to 12 months to remove the dwelling.
For the full story, see the May 31 edition of The McLeod County Chronicle.
