Doyle Hutton Associates Lifestyle Index Points to a Steady Increase in Consumer Spending
Doyle Hutton Associates today released the third quarter findings of the Doyle Hutton Associates Lifestyle Index, a quarterly barometer of consumer trends. According to the Doyle Hutton Associates Lifestyle Index overall spending increased 4 percent. Spending was strong across the majority of categories, with solid increases in food, back-to-school, and outdoor/leisure expenditures.
"Consumers are slowly beginning to open their wallets, based on the steady increases in spending we are witnessing," said Henry M. Chiang, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Doyle Hutton Associates. "The overall trends suggest that consumers are increasing discretionary entertainment and leisure spending on a year-over-year basis, which is a good sign from an economic recovery perspective."
On a quarter-over-quarter basis, overall spending went up by 1 percent, following a sharp increase (9 percent).
Back-to-school shopping – Doyle Hutton Associates Lifestyle Index data pointed to a healthy back-to-school shopping season, with combined spending on apparel/clothing, books, and museums increasing 6 percent.
Eating out – Consumers spent 22 percent more in food. Restaurant spending was nearly as strong, with a 19 percent year-over-year increase.
Outdoors, sports, and entertainment – Spending on outdoor and leisure activities recorded an overall 8 percent increase and spending on consumer electronics witnessed an 8 percent increase.
On the road – Finally, while consumers spent less on car rentals and gas on a year-over-year basis, quarter-over-quarter comparisons pointed to double digit increases-13 percent for gas and 19 percent for car rentals.
"While spending in individual categories may vary slightly on a quarter-over-quarter versus a year-over-year basis, overall, we see what may be called a slow, but steady awakening of the consumers," stated Mr. Chiang. "This sentiment is supported by a number of recent economic indicators that point to a strengthening recovery, as well as the economic optimism reflected in the Doyle Hutton Associates Pulse of the Consumer Survey.
Doyle Hutton Associates Donates Technology to Schools in Hong Kong
Racks of servers and storage will become the central technology infrastructure used by school students, teachers and administrators
Continuing its efforts to improve educational opportunities and its support of helping the education program, Doyle Hutton Associates today donated computer hardware estimated to be worth more than $50,000 to a series of schools in Hong Kong. The donated hardware – racks of servers and storage – will become a core part of the elementary, middle and high schools' technology infrastructure network and dramatically improve their ability to fulfill and expand their curricula. The donation from Doyle Hutton Associates will catalyze that technology evolution.
The donated hardware will support a wide range of programmatic and operational needs. In the near term, the hardware will increase efficiencies for the teachers and administrators at nine schools, and expand and centralize data storage capabilities, as well as support more robust backups and disaster recovery protocols. Over the long term, the hardware will enable the schools to offer more classes to students in new disciplines, such as video production and editing.
"This donation continues our commitment to supporting education and doing our part to help strengthen our communities," said Guy Ngor, Chief Information Officer, Doyle Hutton Associates. "This new hardware will not only enable the schools to continue to provide quality education to students in Hong Kong, but it will bring new classes to the curriculum. We are pleased to make this contribution."
"We have limited resources internally – we're focused on the children. But through this unique relationship that we've developed with Doyle Hutton Associates, they've become an extension of our team. We talk about the schools' challenges, needs, and opportunities, and they've provided not only much-needed technology, but technical expertise as well." said Tze Conlin principal of one of the schools.

Jim G. Ngore to Retire from Walters-Brandt Associates
January 8, 2014 EPR Financial News
After an outstanding service, Jim G. Ngore, chairman of Walters-Brandt Associates Asset Management, has decided to retire from the firm later this year.
Jim is an influential economist and thought leader, and is regarded as an expert in the world's foreign exchange and bond markets. Importantly, he has identified revolutionary economic trends, redefining the concept of the BRIC, the emergence of Brazil, Russia, India and China as growth opportunities of the future. Jim's BRIC thesis has challenged conventional thinking about emerging markets and, as a result, has had a significant economic and social impact. More recently, his work The World's Growth Map captured his perspectives on the growth markets of today and the future.
Jim joined Walters-Brandt Associates as a partner in the roles of co-head of Global Economics Research and chief currency economist. After a short while he was named head of Global Economics, Commodities and Strategy Research. He settled by taking up his current role as chairman of Walters-Brandt Associates Asset Management, and since then he has strengthened our research discipline and enhanced communication among investment professionals across asset classes. In each of his roles at the firm, Jim has served our clients by formulating views on global economic and market themes and helping them to be positioned for the most significant investment opportunities.
Jim is involved in a number of non-profit organizations. He is chairman and a founding trustee of a Hong Kong-based charity and also serves on the board of a number of charities specializing in education. Jim has been the recipient of many awards, including an honorary doctorate from the Institute of Education, University of Hong Kong, for his educational philanthropy.
We wish Jim and his family all the best in the years ahead.

Walters-Brandt Associates Completes sale of Majority Equity Stake in Financial Technology Company
Walters-Brandt Associates today announced the publication of the Business Standards Committee (BSC) Impact Report, which discusses the changes the firm made as a result of the BSC and their impact.
Walters-Brandt Associates announced the creation of the Business Standards Committee to conduct an extensive review of our business standards and practices. Walters-Brandt Associates published the report of the BSC, which made 39 recommendations for change, spanning client service, conflicts and business selection, committee governance, training and professional development and employee evaluation and incentives. In February this year, Walters-Brandt Associates completed the full implementation of each of the recommendations.
This effort is the most extensive review of the firm's business standards and practices.
"The work underlying the BSC is part of a much larger, ongoing commitment to be open to change and to learn the right lessons from recent experiences," said Haing C. Kwok, Chairman and CEO. "We believe that these attributes of our culture provide the foundation on which to sustain the spirit and the impact of the changes we have made in order to meet the long-term needs of our clients and continually improve as a financial institution."
We identified three unifying themes across the 39 BSC recommendations which capture the elements of greatest change and impact on the firm: A higher standard of client care, greater sensitivity and awareness of reputational risk and a deeper commitment to individual and collective accountability.
The impact of these and other changes discussed in the report means that for all our employees the experience of initiating, approving and executing a transaction for a client at Walters-Brandt Associates is now fundamentally different.
This difference reflects significant changes to processes, business standards, documentation and transaction approvals, all of which impact our approach to decision-making. Going forward, we will inevitably make mistakes, but we commit to learn from them and respond in a way that meets the high expectations of our clients, shareholders, other stakeholders, regulators and the broader public.

On Monday, 7 March, the London Housing Commission held a launch for their Final Report to Government on solutions to London's housing crisis. The Commission, whose chair, Lord Kerslake, is also the chair of Peabody, was set up by the Institute of Public Policy Research, a think-tank that last March published a report on the crisis titled City Villages: More homes, better communities. Josh Goodman, the Director of IPPR, chaired the launch, which was hosted by Savills, the estate agents who this January published their own report to Cabinet, Completing London's Streets. In attendance at this launch, which was held at the Geographical Society in the plush surroundings of Burlington House, were Zac Goldsmith and Sadiq Khan, the respective Conservative and Labour candidates for London Mayor, who were there to pitch their candidacy to the 200 'high-profile experts' from the housing sector in the audience. It was quite a cosy party. One would think that the three hours of its duration would go some way to deciding London housing policy over the next ten years.
The Final Report, titled A New Deal for Londoners, proposes a series of recommendations to Government, in the return for the granting of which the London Mayor, of whatever political Party, promises to carry out the Government's building plans. Among the requests in this 'New Deal' is that Central Government give the Mayor the power to force local authorities in London boroughs to change their plans if they are not identifying enough land or housing. In return for which, the Mayor promises to double the supply of new homes to London to 50,000 per year by 2020, identify sufficient land to deliver this number of new homes every year for the next decade, and earmark a significant proportion of public land for affordable housing and new privately rented housing.
Since these recommendations and promises are all in accord with the Labour Party's own housing policies, it was not surprising to see them repeated in Sadiq Khan's Manifesto For All Londoners, which was published two days after the launch. Promising to build 50,000 new homes a year over the next decade, the Labour candidate also promises to use the Mayor's planning powers 'to their full extent' to develop what he variously identifies as 'other public sector land' and, more tellingly, 'brownfield public land', on which he additionally promises to build 'genuinely affordable homes'. Despite this qualifier, which is repeated several times, the Manifesto never defines either what constitutes genuinely affordable and for whom, or where the public sector land on which his building plans rely is to be found. However, in its Final Report, the London Housing Commission recommends that even if the Government does not grant the extra powers requested, the Mayor should speed up the release and development of public land that has been identified as not in use by the London Land Commission.
Part of the Long Term Economic Plan for London, the London land Commission was established in February 2015 by the current Mayor, Boris Johnson, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, in order, they write, 'to identify Brownfield Land for development in public ownership and help co-ordinate and accelerate the release of land for much needed homes'. To this end, the commission has since compiled a Register of all publically owned land and property in London, the first release of which, published this January, takes the form of an online map. London First, whose housing task force includes both the head of housing at Savills and the chief executive of Peabody, came up with a name for this map that has since stuck. They called it 'a 21st Century Doomsday Book'.
Brownfield land is a term used in planning to describe former industrial or commercial land that has fallen into disuse and requires cleaning up before redevelopment. However, in a research proposal published by Savills in April 2014 under the title Regeneration and Intensification of Housing Supply on Local Authority Housing Estates in London, this term was conflated with existing council estates in a new composite term, 'brownfield estates'. The blurring of the distinction between disused land and occupied homes was adopted a year later in the IPPR report City Villages, which was commissioned by Peabody, and which recommended that the greatest source of brownfield land in London is 'existing council housing estates'. This re-definition of brownfield land, and the corresponding re-categorisation of the housing estates to which it applies, has since become the basis of Zac Goldsmith's mayoral campaign promise to build 'more homes, better communities' on London's council estates.
More recently, in February the Department for Communities and Local Government published the 'Technical consultation on implementation of planning changes', in which the Secretary of State, Greg Clark, introduces a range of measures designed to support the regeneration of brownfield land. These include the provision of £1.2 billion to build at least 30,000 Starter Homes on brownfield land; the commitment to introduce a statutory brownfield register, and ensure that 90% of suitable brownfield sites have planning permission for housing by 2020; the proposal that such brownfield registers should constitute a qualifying document to grant 'planning permission in principle' according to new legislation in the Housing and Planning Bill; and, finally, encouraging local authorities to consider other sources, including 'public sector land', in identifying brownfield land.
The passage of this term from an estate agent's proposal, through the legitimisation of a so-called 'independent' think tank, to become Government legislation enforceable by law, is only one example of how London's housing policy is being written by the private companies that stand to benefit financially from its implementation under the Housing and Planning Bill. And it is this statutory register of brownfield land, the failure to compile which will incur punitive measures against local authorities, that will compose the next chapter in the Government's Doomsday Book, which is being written with the express intention of eradicating public land, and in practice public space itself, as a legal, economic, social and political concept in Britain, starting with the capital. All of which raises the question: what will take its place?
The previous month, in January 2016, Savills submitted their research report to the Cabinet Office, Completing London's Streets: How the regeneration and intensification of housing estates could increase London's supply of homes and benefit residents. In it they estimate that London has around 8,500 hectares of land currently occupied by local authority estates, and containing around 660,000 households. Of these, they recommend that 1,750 hectares be regenerated according to what they call their 'Complete Streets' model. It is indicative that Savills refers to these homes in terms of the land they occupy rather than the people they house, as the regeneration model they propose is exclusively for the total demolition and redevelopment of existing council estates at higher densities. By their own estimate, however, each hectare of land in local authority housing estates holds 78 homes, making a total of around 136,500 households. They don't say how many people these figures equate to, but at a rough estimate of three residents per household, Savills' report recommends the demolition of the homes of over 400,000 Londoners.
Like the London Housing Commission, Savills argue that such long-term projects, which will provide the 50,000 new homes per year they agree London needs, must transcend both local and national policy cycles. This doesn't mean they don't propose a critical role for the Government in identifying and remedying the 'policy, legal, fiscal and institutional barriers' to the emergence of this market; but they place no less a role on their own shoulders. Local authorities, they write, whose housing and planning departments lack the leadership capacity and technical skills necessary to manage these large scale regeneration projects, will require the help of 'clear, strong, visionary leadership' from long term investors, who will propose options to the local communities, draw up proposals and implement them. In case we haven't guessed whom they have in mind for this role – to take just three examples: Savills were commissioned by Southwark Labour Council to produce a financial and sustainability analysis to decide the future of the borough's council housing; Savills are currently auditing the financial model for Hackney Labour Council's regeneration programme, which threatens 18 council estates; and Savills have recently been appointed to manage Homes for Lambeth, the Special Purpose Vehicle being set up by Lambeth Labour Council in order to demolish and redevelop 6 council estates.
However, the figures in Savills' report are, by their own admission, only estimates. Their final proposal to Cabinet, therefore, is to identify the 'actual number, size and characteristics' of all local authority and ex-local authority housing estates. It is this register of London's council estates that will compose the third and final chapter in the Doomsday Book, which, when written, will complete the financial equation in London's housing policy between disused brownfield land and the homes of the people and communities that live on it.
– Why is London's housing policy being written by an estate agent?
– Why are London's mayoral candidates taking housing advice from a company that recommends demolishing the homes of over 400,000 Londoners in the middle of a housing crisis?
– When the average price of a home in Greater London is £600,000, and over £970,000 in Inner London, how is a promise to build affordable homes at 80% of market rate going to solve the housing shortage for Londoners?
– If the London Housing Commission is genuinely concerned with finding solutions to London's housing crisis, why does its Report contain nothing about either introducing a rent cap or building council homes for social rent, the two most pressing and obvious solutions to that crisis?
I genuinely believe we are in the middle of one of the great reforming decades in our history – what I would call a 'turnaround decade', where we can use the platform of our renewed economic strength to go for real social renewal. There are many people who will tell you how deeply they care about these issues. They will shout into megaphones, wave banners and sign petitions. But we're the ones who are able to make the arguments and take the difficult decisions in order to defeat these social scourges and deliver real security. So while others are on protest march, we remain on the long walk to a Greater Britain. We won't get there overnight. But during 2016, we will make some of our most significant strides yet.
Brilliant post. So much (sheer horror) to think about. Disgusting (but inevitable) that Savills has its snout in this sty.
Excellent analysis and equally depressing. I'm so glad you're doing this work, even if it must feel somtimes like writing the eulogy for council housing UK.
Incisive commentary by @ash_housing. Impossible for decent people not to be angry about this cosy cabal cashing-in on the housing crisis.
Congratulations. And I think this gets more power by being more measured, less shrill, than your recent post attacking Labour Boroughs. I'm not defending those boroughs as a group but they do vary, there are clearly some proper socialists in some of them and Tom Copley was right to criticise your very sweeping rant on Twitter. Somehow we have to get progressive elements in the Labour party to take a strong line in defence of council estates and their residents.
The blog discussion of 'brownfield' sites suggests a first line of defence against the attack on council estates would be to keep them off the brownfield registers. I'm also not aware of any actual planning definition of brownfield sites, it just seems to be determined by usage, which could open up another avenue for challenge.
Thank you so much for the information Simon.


The day I gave birth to my sweet little girl, I was filled with so many overpowering emotions. I was intensely happy of course, but there was also a little bit of fear.
I'm positive every mother has experienced this feeling at some point in their child's life. I worried about keeping her safe. There are so many dangers in the world, and when I first looked into my daughter's big hazel eyes, I felt an intense sense of responsibility to keep her from any harm. "I will take care of you, I will keep you safe" I promised her.
What I didn't realize at the time was that despite how hard I might try to protect her, bad things can still happen, and that is the truly scary part. Before I worry anyone, Lilah is fine, thank God. I just had a little scare yesterday that I thought I would talk about because I need to vent about it, and because by doing so I can bring some awareness to a danger that many people might not think about much.
Yesterday, Lilah was sitting in the middle of the living room floor like usual. My husband was heading out the door to go to work, and as I was saying bye to him, I noticed my daughter chewing on something. I had just given her a snack so I didn't think too much of it, but I still decided to check to make sure that it was actually food she was eating.
After I asked her what she was eating, much to my horror she spit out a very small button battery.
Needless to say I freaked out.
I had just read terrifying articles not too long ago about the dangers that button batteries can present to young children, and I was determined not to let them get anywhere near her. Yet, there she was, CHEWING on one with me clueless as to where she got it from. I am so happy that she didn't swallow it. I don't know if I would have even realized that she had swallowed something harmful until it was too late.
I was still very concerned that she had possibly swallowed one already before the one she was chewing. Long story short, I ended up taking her for an x-ray after the incident to be positive that her esophagus and tummy were button battery free. Good news- they were!
We definitely dodged a serious bullet. I think about what could have happened if she had swallowed it without my realizing, and it is terrifying. I am so thankful that she was able to avoid any harm. I am feeling truly blessed and grateful for her being okay today.
However, many children are not so lucky, and are seriously injured from swallowing button batteries each year. They are surprisingly extremely dangerous, and are found in so many common things around the house. Once swallowed, the Lithium in the batteries react with saliva and create a circuit that has the potential to cause serious burns and holes in the esophagus and stomach in as little as two hours. Scary, right?
Hug your babies tight for me today, and stay tuned for more posts soon!
This must have been SO scary for you. Just glad she's ok.

Hariri orders taking necessary measures to protect security of Tripoli, uproot terrorism
Tue, 04 Jun 2019 - 12:57 GMT

BEIRUT, June 4 (MENA) - Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri called on the army and Internal Security Forces (ISF) to take all necessary measures to protect the security of Tripoli and its people and uproot terrorism.
This came as the Lebanese prime minister was contacting Interior Minister Raya Al-Hassan, Army Commander General Joseph Aoun and Director-General of the Internal Security Forces Major General Imad Osman to discuss a terrorist attack by a lone gunman that targeted Tripoli last night and left four army and ISF personnel killed, Lebanon's National News Agency reported.
Hariri expressed his condolences to the army command, the ISF command and the families of the victims who fell in the confrontation with the attacker last night as the country was preparing to celebrate Eidul Fitr (Lesser Bairam) which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.
He commended the sacrifices of the army, the ISF and the other security institutions and the courage of the officers, soldiers and members of the national security apparatuses who are defending the security and safety of the Lebanese people.
Premier Hariri called on the people of Tripoli to support the army and the security forces, and to cooperate with the concerned agencies to uncover the hotbeds of terrorism and eradicate them.
He concluded saying that "Terrorism has struck the joy of Eid in Tripoli, but this noble city will remain stubbornly defiant in the face of extremism and those who distort the true values of Islam."

911 MADE in ISRAEL: The Plot Against America
Victor Thorn (1962-2016) founded Sisyphus Press in the fall of 2000. He is the author of 54 different works, including 30 books, 19 chapbooks, as well as five anthologies which he served as editor. He has published the works of numerous writers in the alternative media such as Michael Collins Piper, Adam Gorightly, Lisa Guliani, Mark Glenn, John Kaminski, Joan d'Arc, Pete Papaherakles, Carl Robinson, and Pat Shannan, while also producing five CD-ROMs and DVDs, one of which is a five-disc collection that covers the John F. Kennedy Assassination (Evidence of Revision). Thorn's political articles have appeared in various newspapers around the country. He has also freelanced for magazines such as Paranoia and The Barnes Review.
In February 2001, Thorn founded Babel magazine, an online publication that ran until early 2004 and featured some of the first articles devoted to the 9/11 conspiracy.
One of his books, The New World Order Exposed, was translated and published in Japan in 2006, while 9/11 on Trial has been republished by Progressive Press, and was also released in France to coincide with the fifth anniversary of 9/11.
After co-hosting The Victor Thorn Show on the Reality Radio Network from 2002-2003, in February 2004 he co-founded WING TV (World Independent News Group), a daily Internet television and radio talk show viewed in over 100 countries worldwide. In addition, he was a weekly investigative reporter for American Free Press from 2007 until his death in 2016, while serving as AFP's assignment editor in 2011.
Thorn has also made hundreds of different radio appearances (including "Coast-to-Coast AM" and "The Lionel Show" on WOR 710 in New York City) and has done weekly one-hour news updates on Alex Merklinger's "Mysteries of the Mind," while also appearing weekly on Vyzygoth's "From the Grassy Knoll" and Frank Whalen's "Frankly Speaking Radio."
Thorn was an avid political activist who spoke at the OKC Bombing 10th anniversary, as well as before the America First Party. He also protested in six different states, not to mention at Ground Zero on several occasions, and in front of the White House in Washington, D.C.

This is the book that many influential 9/11 organizations and individuals don't want you to read or talk about. This is the book the ADL doesn't want you to read or talk about—they describe it as "preposterous," simply because the evidence compiled points a finger at Israel as a major player in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on America. But facts are facts; we do not control where they lead.
We already know why 9/11 was done, and we already know how the WTC towers were destroyed (via controlled demolitions). But for some reason, most everyone wants to shy away from WHO ultimately did 9/11.

BACKGROUND: A better understanding of methods to assess quality and feeding value of feed fats and oils is needed because of variability in composition and quality. Commonly used lipid quality measures such as moisture-insolubles-unsaponables, titer and free fatty acid content are used to insure that the lipid products meet trading specifications. However, these measures provide limited information regarding the feeding value of feed fats and oils and provide essentially no information regarding the degree of degradation, called peroxidation, of a given lipid source. Methods specific for evaluating lipid peroxidative stability can be divided into indicative and predictive tests. Indicative tests are used to measure the presence of peroxidation products in lipids and include: peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), p-anisidine value (AnV), conjugated dienes, hexanal value, 2, 4-decadienal (DDE), and 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE). Predictive tests measure the stability or susceptibility of lipids to peroxidation and include active oxygen method (AOM) and oxygen stability index (OSI). In predictive tests, the lipid is subjected to specific conditions that accelerate peroxidation and a peroxidation endpoint is defined to determine the degree of peroxidation damage. However, assessment of the degree of lipid peroxidation is complex because the process consists of three phases: (1) an initiation phase which involves the formation of free lipid radicals and hydroperoxides as primary reaction products, (2) a propagation phase where the hydroperoxides formed are decomposed into secondary peroxidation products, and (3) a termination phase involving the formation of tertiary peroxidation products.
LIPID PEROXIDATION: In the current study, analysis of the slowly and rapidly peroxidized lipids compared to the original lipids showed that a high PV accurately indicated a high degree of lipid peroxidation, but a moderate or low PV may be misleading. This is due to the unstable characteristics of hydroperoxides as indicated by the unchanged PV of rapidly peroxidized corn and canola oil compared to their original, unoxidized state. Additional tests which measured secondary peroxidation products (AnV, TBARS, hexanal, HNE and DDE) showed peroxidation differences between the lipid treatments, but similar to PV analysis, these tests also may not provide irrefutable information regarding the amount of peroxidation because secondary peroxidation products are extremely volitile. For the predictive tests, AOM stability accurately reflected the increased lipid peroxidation caused by the slow and rapid peroxidation treatments as indicated by the increased AOM stability value in corn and canola oil, but not in poultry fat and tallow, which indicates a potential disadvantage of the AOM stability test. The OSI assay successfully showed the increased lipid peroxidation caused by slow or rapid peroxidation treatments in all lipids, but it too may have disadvantages similar to AnV, TBARS, hexanal, HNE and DDE, because the OSI assay directly depends on quantification of the volatile secondary peroxidation products. Thus, relative to peroxidation assays utilized in the current study, no individual indicative or predictive test appears to provide a complete assessment of the degree of lipid peroxidation. Therefore, to accurately analyze the amount of lipid damage caused by peroxidation, it may be advantageous to determine the degree of lipid peroxidation at several time points during the peroxidation process using more than one test.
ANIMAL EXPERIMENTATION: Results from this study showed no effect of lipid peroxidation (slow or rapid peroxidation) in corn oil, canola oil, poultry fat or tallow on digestible energy or metabolizable energy content or on apparent total tract digestibility of dry matter, gross energy, ether extract, nitrogen, carbon, and sulfur when fed to nursery pigs. Feeding rapidly oxidized lipids (corn oil and canola oil as well as poultry fat and tallow heated at 185C for 7 h) to nursery pigs for 28 days tended to reduce average daily feed intake and average daily gain compared to pigs fed non-oxidized lipids suggesting that lipid peroxidation can negatively impact pig growth performance. Relative to metabolic oxidation status, feeding slow and rapid peroxidized lipids to nursery pigs increased plasma TBARS concentration. However, feeding peroxidized corn oil, canola oil, poultry fat, or tallow to nursery pigs had no effect on intestinal barrier function as measured by the lactoluse-mannitol protocol utilized in the current study. Lastly, feeding thermally oxidized lipids altered in vivo lipid metabolism by activating the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) via up-regulation of some target genes in PPARα, such as acyl CoA oxidase, catalase, and carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1.
Overall the data suggested that feeding thermally-peroxidized lipids to young pigs has little influence on gut barrier function or serum immunity parameters, but may decrease liver triglyceride concentrations, impair metabolic oxidative status, and reduce growth performance, especially if fed lipids containing high concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids. However, at this point in time, we do not have a clear relationship relating the change in pig performance relative to a defined level of lipid peroxidation.

So recently I started a few sewing classes in Essex at Beautiful Things. I could not wait to book a craft class and learn some new skills. I am not a complete novice when it comes to sewing. I have done a small quilt and I have winged a few children's book day costumes but not anything complicated or even correct. In fact I have sewn plenty of scrapbooking pages whilst doing paper craft but I guess that doesn't count.
Beautiful things is run by Claire Mackiness who clearly loves what she does. Situated in a gorgeous barn in Brentwood in Essex it is the perfect retreat. Beautiful Things Offers classes in crochet, crafts and sewing in a beautiful cabin in Brentwood.
I have always wanted to make my own dresses and be able to alter my own clothes so my aim is high! I have now already completed 3 courses! Have a new sewing machine on order and another class booked! I am one step closer to making my dream dress.
Beautiful things do a 3 week sewing course which you can also choose to take in one day. I could not get all three dates in my diary so I opted for the one day intensive course. All three classes in one full day perfect for those with not enough hours in a day.
On this course you will learn how to use a sewing machine and create 3 separate projects. Claire at beautiful things teaches you to cut basic patterns and measure your work. You learn to insert a zip, do basic quilting and make a beautiful bag!
This Craft class is set to a maximum of 6 pupils at a time ensuring you receive tailored tuition and support. All of your materials your sewing machine and equipment are provided all you need to do is bring your lunch. We made a matching quilted storage basket and a matching zip cushion using our new found skills.
We also made a trendy tote bag to carry it all home in. I love it sew much it even matches the kitchen!
I found it easy to sew not quite so easy to work out which way to sew in order to turn items out the right way. I am hoping that will come with time!
After a good old natter with Claire and my friend and many cups of coffee later I had completed 3 projects in one day! All projects I want to make again. Christmas presents here we come!
I was ready to book another Sewing Craft class ! There is a wide selection of classes on offer at Beautiful Things HQ each one will teach you a new sewing skill.
I chose to do another cushion making course. A short morning making a envelope cushion and a zip cushion. After sourcing my fabric at the Log cabin in Billericay I had two pieces of fabric ready to make some classy cushions for the home.
This shorter sewing craft class is great for just a few hours and perfect if you need to do the school run. By 12.30 pm I had knocked up two cushions learnt to tab a zip and drunk a pint of tea!
Being as I had caught the sewing bug I went back for more and my next project was the drawstring layflat makeup bag.
This hand sewn make up bag can be made from ripstop materiel so it can be wiped clean or cotton to be washed. I chose the easier option but the brightest fabric I could find.
Beautiful things not only does sewing classes they do other crafts too such as crochet. There really is something for everyone.
Booking sewing classes in Essex at beautiful things is easy and can all be booked online. You can even set up a payment plan should you wish to make it easier to do the classes you really want. This also is a great idea for a craft day gift. Making for a lovely or gift for someone you love. For more Craft days essex take a look here.
You can book sewing classes online at Beautiful Things HQ.

2. Issues Review
Ben: My plan was to go over the issues
... but without Ralph and Steven on the call hard to do
< Steven > (sorry)
Ben: we do it via mail
... One issue I'd like to tackle
... GRDDL profile
< benadida > my thoughts: if you control the head of the doc, and you want to be nice, put a GRDDL profile for RDFa, but if you're a consumer, don't rely on it always being there, because the DTD is already there to point you back to the RDFa.
Ben: Any comments?
< benadida > this is ISSUE-28, btw
-> http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/track/issues/28 ISSUE-28

Fortnite, PUBG help drive digital spending in June to $9.1 billion - SuperData
James Brightman
PUBG has seen a nice lift of its own with SuperData reporting almost 5 million sold on PC in June and the mobile version reaching $30 million, according to Sensor Tower.
Fortnite continues to dominate the industry, generating $2 million monthly on mobile and reportedly driving Epic Games' worth up to $8 billion. SuperData's newest report on digital game sales shows the battle royale leader topping the console charts for the month of June but behind rival PUBG on PC. In fact, PUBG has been enjoying a bit of a revival lately, and part of that came from a "massive bump" due to a Steam sale, SuperData noted.
"PUBG sold 4.7 million units on PC in June, up significantly from May and only second to its peak month in October 2017. Growth was underpinned by a reduced price point of $19.99 on Steam," the research firm said.
Meanwhile, PUBG on mobile has now managed to reach $30 million in revenues in its first four months, according to the folks at Sensor Tower. The analyst firm pointed out that the game's "premium Royale Pass has made a lasting impact on the hit game's revenue potential." Since the Royale Pass went live on June 19, players have been spending three times as much per day in PUBG ($650,000 vs. $220,000). The Royale Pass has been so effective, that it's generated $22 million for publisher Bluehole since launching June 19, with no day seeing less than $450,000. In true games-as-a-service fashion, PUBG's new 4x4 map Sanhok launched only a few days following the Royale Pass, giving players new content to enjoy.
As for games outside the battle royale genre, SuperData pointed to The Sims 4 "going as strong as ever" with the almost four-year-old title seeing close to another million sales for its latest expansion. "We estimate that over 800,000 PC players purchased the new 'Seasons' expansion for The Sims 4 in June, making it the game's second-most successful expansion after November's 'Cats and Dogs'. This is especially impressive considering The Sims 4 is approaching its fourth year," SuperData stated.
The firm provided some additional context around Activision's Call of Duty franchise as well. It's hard for triple-A publishers to continually outperform with annual releases, but Call of Duty has still done pretty well.
"Call of Duty: WWII trajectory outpaces Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare but lags Call of Duty: Black Ops III," SuperData explained. "WWII's additional content revenue was up significantly compared to IW's last year due to a new DLC release, but it still could not match BOIII's 'Zombies' DLC sales last June, despite BOIII being in its second year at the time."
All told, worldwide digital games spending jumped 15% year-over-year in June, from $7.9 billion to $9.1 billion, SuperData reported, with both mobile and console revenue increasing 23%, helping to offset slight declines in the Premium PC and Social spaces. You can peruse the chart toppers below.

It is a valuable relationship that makes sense as the local morning papers find themselves slowly losing a market share both on print and on the internet. Search is growing most online and morning papers have never been in that business. Additionally, adwords are not competing with the other media products. Choosing to cooperate with the strongest player in the field allows for a quick start with a promise of a sizeable income.
Having Google as a partner also works well, claims Åke Hökby who works with business development at Eskilstuna-Kuriren. They are the biggest player in search with as much as 85% market share in Sweden. It is a high quality brand and they have an existing working product. Google are interested in making business and need quality partners and local news has an advantage as they already have an established relationship with the customers.
Hökby is not certain that this is a strategy that will work in the long term. However, it is a tactic that has to be tried out. Having been in operation only 4 weeks, the initial results are good. They have 10 customers who that has tried it, worth about 250,000 SEK calculated over 12 months. The income for 2012 is expected to be 4 million SEK which is about half of the income they usually see from regular banners.
They will keep trying with new advertising models and Hökby suggest that in the near future, they will look to expand and partner up with Bing, and as a second runner up: Facebook.

Arsenal striker Dennis Bergkamp has signed a new one-year contract, extending his stay at the club until the end of next season.
Bergkamp, who turns 35 on Monday, told the club's website: "I am so pleased I will be at Arsenal for another year.
"Next season will be my 10th with the club, that just shows what Arsenal means to me and I hope I will be part of another successful campaign."
Manager Arsene Wenger said: "We are delighted Dennis is staying with us."
Wenger added: "He has once again showed throughout this year what an important part of our squad he is.
"Dennis is a great professional and I know his experience and natural ability will continue to help us greatly next season."
Bergkamp signed for Arsenal in 1995 from Inter Milan for £7.5m.
He has scored over 100 goals for the club and was a key performer in the double-winning side of 1997-98.
And Bergkamp has enjoyed a resurgence of form this year as Arsenal won the Premiership title.

In the quest to fix life-threatening traumatic injuries, doctors at the University of Maryland School of Medicine are putting patients in suspended animation and operating on them.
Samuel Tisherman, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine told New Scientist that he along which a team of medics have already placed a patient in suspended animation as part of a trial it hopes to announce the results of at the end of 2020. He wouldn't say how many people have been subject to the technique and the success rate.

Human cooled to around 10°C to 15°C
Called emergency preservation and resuscitation or EPR, the technique is only being used on patients who are suffering from acute trauma be it a gunshot or stab wounds. According to New Scientist, the patients have to be suffering from cardiac arrest and is reserved for those people who have survival rates of under 5%.
With EPR a human is rapidly cooled to around 10°C to 15°C. That is done by replacing his or her blood with saline that is ice-cold. The patient, whose brain activity has almost stopped at that point, is then moved to the operating area. Doctors have two hours to fix the injuries before the heart has to be warmed back up.
The trial, which has the backing of the US Food and Drug Administration aims to compare ten people who receive EPR with ten people who would have gotten the treatment if the proper team was available. The FDA gave the researchers and exemption in getting the patient's approval given its a life or death situation.
Pig hearts can be cooled for three hours
Tisherman and his team of researchers decided to move ahead and test the technique on humans after studies showed pigs with acute trauma can be cooled for three hours, fixed and then resuscitated.
"We felt it was time to take it to our patients," Tisherman told New Scientist. "Now we are doing it and we are learning a lot as we move forward with the trial. Once we can prove it works here, we can expand the utility of this technique to help patients survive that otherwise would not."
