What Are The Best ESG Bonds?
in Food
ESG strategies
When you think of ESG investing—that would be environmental, social and governance—it's often about how the movement is affecting stock prices.
This concept involves a complex mix of investors: public pension funds and college endowments (a number of whom want to divest oil and gas stocks), investors looking for other alternatives than stocks and bonds, plus traditional types who fear that ESG ignores earnings potential.
But too few look at bonds through an ESG lens. And let's face it, bonds are, or usually are, stalwart performers that seldom suffer the price swings that stocks do, and some of them offer decent yields. Assuming that interest rates will be rising, their yields should, as well.
Then the question is: what are the best bonds from an ESG perspective? SMBC Nikko Trading just did a survey of 136 fixed-income investors globally and found some fascinating results. "A lot of demand on ESG is coming from retail investors," said Doug Conn, executive director at SMBC, a global issuer of green bonds.
Like: ESG is a big deal in corporate America. Some 45% of respondents either incorporate ESG factors in their credit or internal risk rating, or use ESG metrics as a key part of their decision-making process.
Green bonds are universally rated as the most "invested" ESG asset class (33%). These raise money for renewable energy, energy efficiency, clean transportation, green buildings, wastewater management and climate change adaptions.
Social bonds (21%) are focused on food security and sustainable food systems, socioeconomic advancement, affordable housing, access to essential services, and affordable basic infrastructure. Sustainability bonds (22%) are a catch-all, and often refinance these other two categories.
Getting good data on ESG investing is rated a challenge by 22% of them. It can be tough to find a company, for instance, that is truly good for the environment, or otherwise treats people well and governs without cronyism.
There's a lot of "greenwashing" going on, where a company will make moves that really are just a public relations cover for the nasty stuff they continue to do. Right now, several firms have produced metrics to gauge ESG mindedness, but some of them are quite different and leave investors puzzled.
In judging possible companies to invest in, a lot of flexibility exists. Only 15% of respondents have completely disinvested from industries they believe to be controversial. What do they consider to be the most ESG-friendly industries then? Tech is the leader, with 25% of respondents naming it. Then comes banking/finance (14%), real estate (7%), pharma/healthcare (6%) and retail (6%).
People often think of stocks when investing in companies. But many businesses use bonds to raise the capital they need, so they deserve a good look from ESG-oriented investors. "ESG is getting a lot of attention on the fixed-income side," Conn says.

Sir John Chilcot has told the prime minister that after much public pressure and six years since his investigation's last hearing, he will publish the much awaited inquiry into the Iraq War in June or July 2016. You can read David Cameron's response to the former top civil servant below.
Thank you for your letter of 28 October setting out a timetable for the completion of the work of the Iraq Inquiry.
Whilst it is welcome of course that there is now a clear end in sight for your Inquiry, I am disappointed – and I know the families of those who served in Iraq will also be disappointed – that you do not believe it will be possible logistically to publish your report until early summer.
I recognise that you have a significant task, but would welcome any further steps you can take to expedite the final stages of the Inquiry. I have seen your letter of 28 October to the Cabinet Secretary requesting additional resource to support the publication process, which I can confirm that we are happy to provide. As I have underlined previously, we remain ready to provide whatever further assistance we can in order to support the conclusion of your work, and I am very happy to provide more resource if it would allow the Report to be published more quickly.
In relation to National Security checking, the Government will aim to complete the process as quickly as possible. As you know, National Security checking for the Savile Inquiry took two weeks to complete. It would certainly be our plan and expectation to take no longer than this, and we will look to complete the process more quickly.
I am content for you to publish this letter alongside yours.

Transgenderism Is A Mental Disorder, According To Johns Hopkins Psychiatrist
Well, this is something we (conservatives) have known for a while. OF COURSE IT'S A MENTAL DISORDER! For a man to truly believe he is a woman and get surgery done to "become a woman" is literally insane! And the same is true for women who want to be men!
But who am I to say it's a mental disorder? After all, liberals trust what scientists say as though they were the Word of God. So here's a scientist that very much disagrees with the Leftist narrative that it's ok for a man to think he's a woman and for a woman to think she's a man: Dr. Paul R. McHugh.
Dr. McHugh is a distinguished psychiatrist in Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins Hospital. He's studied transgenderism and sex-reassignment surgery for 40 years. And according to CNSNews.com, "he said the condition is a 'mental illness' and to enable it is equal to 'collaborating with madness.'"
Some pretty powerful words right there from a renowned psychiatrist. In his book titled "The Mind Has Mountains: Reflections on Society and Psychiatry", he dedicates an entire chapter to "Surgical Sex". In this chapter, he explains that transgenderism is a "mental illness" and to surgically alter a person's genitalia is to enable a disorder.
"I have witnessed a great deal of damage from sex reassignment," Dr. McHugh writes. "The children transformed from their male constitution into female roles suffered prolonged distress and misery as they sensed their natural attitudes" as these males develop. "As for the adults who came to us (at Johns Hopkins Hospital) claiming to have discovered their 'true' sexual identity and to have heard about sex-change operations, we psychiatrists have been distracted from studying the causes and natures of their mental misdirections by preparing them for surgery and for a life in the other sex."
"We have wasted scientific and technical resources and damaged our professional credibility by collaborating with madness rather than trying to study, cure, and ultimately prevent it."
Regarding the patients themselves, Dr. McHugh and his John Hopkins colleagues found that there were two types of men who were pushing for a sex change operation:
"One group consisted of conflicted and guilt-ridden homosexual men who saw sex change as a way to resolve their conflicts over homosexuality by allowing them to behave sexually as females with men." And the other group, which consisted mostly of older men: "consisted of heterosexual (and some bisexual) males who found intense sexual arousal in cross-dressing as females." So basically, most transgender men can be classified as either feeling guilty and conflicted with being gay and thought that if they were women, things would be better – and the others simply find it very kinky to dress like and be like a woman.
Let me tell you, when I first read the part about homosexual men feeling conflicted and guilty about being gay, I immediately thought about trying to find Christ in their lives. These men feel empty inside and the only way they think of filling that hole in their heart is to have sex with other people that they find attractive (in this case, other men). They are looking for value and worth and validation from other people. They want to be accepted by other people. But they don't think to look for Christ as an answer.
If they had Christ in their lives and hearts, and I mean truly have Him there, none of these men would feel guilty or conflicted with who they are. They wouldn't look for validation from some random person. They wouldn't be sexually confused and wouldn't be driven to change their natural gender.
Lastly, Dr. McHugh comes to the conclusion that: "to provide a sexual alteration to the body of these unfortunate people was to collaborate with a mental disorder rather than to treat it." "We in the Johns Hopkins Psychiatry Department eventually concluded that human sexual identity is mostly built into our constitution by the genes we inherit and the embryogenesis we undergo. Quite clearly, then, we psychiatrists should work to discourage those adults who seek surgical reassignment."
"The 'transgender' activists still argue that their members are entitled to whatever surgery they want, and they still claim that their sexual dysphoria represents a true conception of their sexual identity." However, he argues that those activists have shown "little evidence" to refute the diagnosis that transgenderism is a mental illness.
"One might expect that those who claim that sexual identity has no biological or physical basis would bring forth more evidence to persuade others. But as I've learned, there is a deep prejudice in favor of the idea that nature is totally malleable.", concluded the doctor.
So not only are some transgenders looking to fill the hole in their lives with gay sex rather than with Christ, but the whole idea of transgenderism goes against nature and science itself. Well, that last part I've briefly explained in a previous article titled "The Left Absolutely HATES Science!". But it also makes sense that some of these transgender men feel empty and think they can feel better by changing their sex.
And the Left PROMOTES this! THEY ARE LITERALLY PROMOTING A MENTAL ILLNESS! But that's to be expected from people as evil as those on the Left (at least those who hold government office and those in the MSM).
And just you wait. The Left will do what they can to refute the fact that transgenderism is a mental disorder in any way they can. But you know what happens when what's in the dark comes out in the light.
"And this is the judgment: the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the Light and does not come to the Light, lest his works should be exposed."

First comprehensive study of genetic risks for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in African-Americans performed.
Posted on August 28, 2015 by Healthinnovations	One comment
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic autoimmune diseases that affect as many as 1.6 million Americans. Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) have immune systems that attack their own intestines, resulting in inflammation. According to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America, recent years have seen a steady increase in reported cases of IBD in African-Americans. Now, researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Emory University and Cedars-Sinai, state they have performed an in-depth analysis of genetic risk factors of inflammatory bowel disease in African-Americans. The team hope that it's the first of many steps to better understand and treat these debilitating diseases.
Previous studies show that IBD genetics have been evaluated in more than 1,000 studies in white and Asian, primarily East Asian, populations. Although the risk is slightly lower than that of white Americans, it has been shown that African-Americans are at significant risk for IBD. Therefore, the primary goal of the group was to determine whether African-Americans share the same 163 separate genetic variations established in white Americans as IBD genetic risk factors. They go on to add that a secondary goal was to identify novel regions of the genome, known as loci, causing IBD risk in African-Americans.
The researchers also examined in the current study if, within the majority of these IBD genetic loci, there are genetic variations that are of particular risk for causing IBD in African-Americans that are distinct from those identified in whites. To validate this they also investigated whether there are regions of the genome that cause or protect IBD risk in African-Americans that arise from either their West African or European genetic ancestries.
The current study evaluated more than 1,500 African-American patients with IBD, which included 1,088 with Crohn's disease and 361 with ulcerative colitis. The participants were from 35 IBD centers across North America and used 1,797 African-Americans without IBD for comparison. The results found gene variants within three of the most highly associated regions for Crohn's disease in whites, namely NOD2, interleukin 23 receptor (IL23R) and a region on chromosome 5 known as 5p15.1, are also important risk factors for Crohn's disease in African-Americans.
The data findings revealed that in African-Americans, as in whites and Asians, the dominant region for ulcerative colitis genetic risk in is the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region, a region that is a major determinant of immune regulation and risks for other immune diseases, like celiac disease and type 1 diabetes. However, the results also show that the specific variant associated with African-Americans in this region is the same as the variant most highly associated with Japanese and Korean ulcerative colitis, and to a lesser degree ulcerative colitis in Europeans. The team note that it is also the same major risk variant in HLA for lupus in African-Americans, whose lupus risk is four times greater than white Americans.
The current study did not find evidence for the major risk variant for European ulcerative colitis as having a role in the African-American population. The lab found evidence for novel variations at a major IBD gene, the interleukin 12 cytokine subunit, IL12B, and for new regions, not previously identified in other IBD studies, of chromosomes 2 and 3, for IBD and ulcerative colitis, respectively.
Next, the researchers identified specific regions of the African-American genome that arise separately from the ancestral West African versus the ancestral European genome that are responsible for a portion of the genetic risk of IBD in the African-American population. Results showed regions on four of the 22 autosomal (non-sex-linked) chromosomes as causative for IBD. Data findings show that for each of these regions, the IBD risk appears to come from the Caucasian ancestral genome that makes up 20 percent of the African-American genome overall or, conversely, from unique African protective variants as demonstrated in the chromosomal 17 region within immune regulatory genes STAT3 and STAT5.
The group also analyzed cellular pathways that result in IBD development. Results show as in whites, the major pathways were those related to cytokines and chemokines, molecules that transmit inflammatory signals, and cell signaling, known as JAK-STAT. However, the lab observed that the top pathway for ulcerative colitis in African-Americans and fourth of importance to both Crohn's disease and IBD overall was related to measles infection, a pathway not previously found important to IBD in whites.
Conversely, the team note that not found in IBD in African-Americans was involvement of the Leishmania infection pathway, the second-strongest pathway for IBD in whites. Interestingly, data findings show that African trypanosomiasis infection, the cause of African sleeping sickness, was also found to be a significant and unique pathway for ulcerative colitis in African-Americans.
The lab state that their data shows several gene variants for IBD in whites are key risk factors in African-Americans. They go on to add that also important are unique African ancestral variants that cause protection against IBD. The team conclude that in African-Americans, as in whites and Asians, the dominant region for ulcerative colitis genetic risk in is the human leukocyte antigen region, a major determinant of immune regulation.
The researchers surmise that the hope for genetic advances is that the medical community will be able to develop new therapies and more precision medicine to managing these chronic and potentially debilitating diseases. They go on to stress that these benefits should be available to all sections of society.

Brammer Bio and Sarepta in long-term manufacturing partnership
Sarepta Therapeutics, a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of precision genetic medicines to treat rare neuromuscular diseases, has entered into a long-term strategic manufacturing partnership with Brammer Bio, a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) serving the cell and tgene therapy sector.
The deal will provide Sarepta access to clinical and commercial manufacturing capacity for its micro-dystrophin Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene therapy program and a manufacturing platform for future gene therapy programs, such as Limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). Sarepta will continue to build internal expertise in all aspects of AAV-based manufacturing, while Brammer Bio will provide scalable best-in-class manufacturing capabilities. The collaboration will integrate process development, clinical production and testing, and commercial manufacturing with the goal of bringing micro-dystrophin gene therapies to the patient community urgently and in sufficient supply.
Brammer Bio will partner with Sarepta to design and build dedicated commercial manufacturing capacity within their facility with cutting-edge capabilities. Once complete, the facility is expected to provide robust manufacturing capacity to support the unusually high demands typical for systemic administration of the micro-dystrophin therapy for DMD.
"As we have stated in the past, Sarepta is committed to becoming one of the most meaningful genetic medicine companies in the world over the coming few years," said Doug Ingram, president and chief executive officer, Sarepta. "The Brammer Bio partnership and dedicated gene therapy capacity, once complete, will represent more annual gene therapy supply than any currently existing facility.
"Brammer is delighted to partner with Sarepta Therapeutics to use our team's deep development, clinical and commercial expertise to support the rapid development of Sarepta's gene therapy products to serve patients in the United States and globally," said Mark Bamforth, president and chief executive officer, Brammer Bio.
Brammer Bio's team of more than 400 employees operates in Massachusetts and Florida. The 74,000 square-foot early clinical campus consists of three buildings in Alachua, FL, comprised of a process development and analytical development facility, adjacent to its cGMP Phase 1/2 clinical manufacturing operation with a third warehouse and office building. Brammer Bio's cGMP facility has been supporting gene therapy clinical development for 12 years at this location.
Brammer Bio has 165,000 square-feet of facilities in Massachusetts for Phase 3 and commercial cGMP viral vector manufacturing. The facility located in Cambridge was built out late in 2017 and the facility in Lexington will be operational in 2019; both are supported by the warehouse and distribution center in Somerville.

Music. Ah, what a vast iceberg we have landed upon here. For all the music you may have heard or known in your life, there is myriad more that has never crossed your ears or even, perhaps your imagination. The very concept of what denotes "music" is a curious contrivance with surprisingly diverse range. Not only can I never come close to knowing a drop in the bucket of all the bands in existence, there are numerous entire genres of music I'll never know. One could spend lifetimes exploring...
Some recent, random listening:
Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, KMFDM, 16 Volt, Chemlab, Rob Zombie, Celldweller, Criss Angel, Korn, Garbage, Plastikman, Squaremeter, and a bunch of obscure experimental ambient/noise/surrealism/soundscape stuff from the UK and Europe like Monos, Alio Die, Asmus Tietchins, Thomas Köner, Lustmord, and Nurse With Wound. I own all this music. I have a, shall we say, rather large, collection. My number one hobby for many years was going to lengths to amass music I love. I also have a great fondness for most of the music of the Beatles.
Early favorites forever ago: Larry Norman, Oingo Boingo, and also, yes: Tom Lehrer, thanks to Dr. Demento. How delightful to see Mr. Poisoning Pigeons mentioned not once, but twice, already. Favorite recent lyricists include Edward Ka-Spel of The Legendary Pink Dots, Jim Thirlwell (Clint Ruin) of Foetus: anyone who can belt out slightly twisted and clever lyrics like, "This isn't the melody that lingers on — it's the malady that malingers on," earns my most skewed admiration.
I was hit by a brick when I first heard (and saw the video for) Skinny Puppy's "Dig It" in 1986. This set me spiralling on an industrial music obsession that continued for many years. Skinny Puppy was the first real concert I ever attended (not including Petra, a Christian rock band in the early 80's...really, that doesn't count, does it?)
If I were a part of a SW band, I would contribute unspecificable noise and electronics, spoken/muttered/hissed/whispered lyrics of wry whimsy involving irony and wordplay.
Music is a magical trip I really get off on. I don't need drugs. I get high with a little help from my (musical) friends.

Today, spurred on by the Killers cover of "Shadowplay," I actually tracked down some old Joy Division, and some Bauhaus for good measure (since the two are often mentioned in the same breath), and while I was at it, I listened to the New Order that had already ended up on my computer somehow.
Damn, that is some good stuff. Joy Division in particular was great. It's funny, because it sounds like normal '80s New Wave/alternative, until you realize that it was released in the '70s, and everyone who sounded like that in the '80s was copying them. Suddenly bands that I hated and thought sounded awful, bands that seemed to be part of the New Wave thing but also seemed to be part of their own subculture that didn't make sense to me (and here I am thinking of Men Without Hats, among others), fit into the bigger musical picture as really bad imitations of Joy Division.

Joy Division FTW. If you've not seen the film about Curtis yet, do it. It's magical. I'm not a New Order fan though. That whole scene just doesn't click.
Oh, and OMG. I forgot to mention any Bob Dylan!
Nikki's Nook - bigger than Jesus?
My favorite musicians include the Beatles, Electric Light Orchestra, Bob Dylan, Tears for Fears, The Who, Kingston Trio, Billy Joel, Keith Green, Larry Norman, Leon Patillo (spelling?), CCR, Abba (Yeah, so what), Queen, Rolling Stones, Dionne Warwick, Simon and Garfunkel, Casting Crowns, the Doobie Brothers, Elton John, Steve Miller Band, and others.

1. What was the last song you listened to? I don't remember the last full song I listened to, but we stopped Chicken Little in the middle of ~"It's the end of the world as we know it."~
I think it was The Waiting's latest.
Uber difficult to discern... Different favorites for different genres... Pachabell's Cannon in D has been a favorite since I learned to play it. But I could listen to Petra's "Holy of Holies" forever. Then there's "Desert Rose", too, and "Cotton Eye Joe" can't forget him. Can I have two in country? Collin Raye: "That was a River" led me to buy all his albums whether I liked any of the songs on it or not.
The Waiting: Blue Belly Sky
The music that first came to my head was Jesu, Joy of a Man's Desiring, but I love to listen to most anything with great harmony.
Toughie... Blue Belly Sky is a top runner, but I think I enjoy Wierd Al more. How about Constipated? ~Why'd I have to go and get myself decapitated?~
I highly admire John Williams for the soundtrack of Hook.

My Saviour, My God by Aaron Shust I don't know why. Still to this day I don't notice the song till the chorus comes but then it's like, bam, gotta turn it up. I think it might be the passion of the chorus. Now if you're asking which song has been closest to getting me actually hit by a brick, well, that'd be Cotton Eye Joe. By the tenth time through, hubby's about had it.
Um, Ice Ice Baby?
If they're bad enough that I don't ever listen to them I probably don't know their name. Michael Jackson rubs me the wrong way, but it's his personality, not his music.
Realistically or metaphorically? I suppose it depends on who's got the tallent. I can play viola and I hear Thralni's got a trombone. Other then that, it'd be just a bunch of name dropping based on current popularity, right? We'd make our own genre, of course. What with all the creative minds that hover here.

As a related question: What are your favorite crhistmas albums? I prefer Vuoden synkin juhla (Year's gloomiest holiday) by Viikate. It's perfect fit for Finnish winter days. Here is a sample of what the album sounds like. (Viattomien lasten päivä translates to "Day of innocent children")
Just a little warning: Viikate is quaranteed to cause depression if you lack sense of black humor. Oh, and yes, I do hate modern christmas <3
Life is a neverending carneval where everyone has multiple costumes. I just hope mine are pleasing to the eye.

I don't like any Christmas albums, but I do enjoy a few songs: Silent Night by Franz X. Gruber, Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul McCartney, Sleigh Bells (title?) by Amy Grant, and White Christmas by the Drifters.

Joy Division has got to be the most influential band to take a new direction -- or at any rate the most name-dropped -- since Kraftwerk.

The lamestream media will ignore the illegal construction by the Palestinians due largely to their rabid anti semitism.
I would like to see the Israeli government send in bulldozers and remove the illegal construction.
All of the land was given to Abraham by God so it belongs only to Israel.
TEL AVIV – Amid reports that Israel has revived plans to construct a new neighborhood in the eastern sections of Jerusalem, it is instructive to review the largely untold story of Palestinians building entirely illegally on Jewish-owned property in the same areas.
Last week, Haaretz reported on the Israel Housing Ministry's decision to bring back plans to build a Jewish neighborhood in the currently defunct Atarot Airport, located near Qalandia just north of Jerusalem.
Atarot Airport, the planned site of the new neighborhood, was abandoned at the beginning of the second intifada some 15 years ago for fear that the Palestinians would shoot at planes taking off there. The airport is located next to the separation barrier, not far from the Qalandia checkpoint.
The plan also spans areas west of the airport, outside the municipal area of Jerusalem in the West Bank, in lands that are nevertheless under Jewish ownership.
Of the 15,000 units planned over the Green Line, the lion's share would be in two new residential neighborhoods: Atarot in the north of the city and Givat Hamatos in the south.
Another 2,000 homes would be built in Givat Hamatos, a mostly empty hill that critics say could cut East Jerusalem off from neighboring Bethlehem.
A further 3,000 would be built in Ramat Shlomo, an existing ultra-Orthodox neighborhood in the city's north.
Some in the news media are painting the homes as controversial because they are slated for the eastern sections of Jerusalem. Judaism's holiest sites – the Temple Mount and Western Wall – are located in eastern Jerusalem, which is steeped in Jewish history.
The Jews maintained a historic presence in Jerusalem, including in the eastern sections, until they were forced to leave the Old City en masse in 1948. Jordan illegally occupied and annexed the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem from 1948 until Israel captured the lands in a defensive war in 1967.
I also further reported in 2009 these de facto Palestinian enclaves in peripheral Jerusalem neighborhoods have become virtual no-go zones for Jewish Israelis due to security concerns. The Jerusalem police confirmed at the time that security arrangements discourage Israeli Jews from entering the neighborhoods. Those security arrangements are still in effect today.

From: An entity with real board/management conflict. To: A successful, thriving entity on the brink of large growth.
Employee perception of organizational leadership, training, communication, work effectiveness, customer image and performance all increased by more than 17 percentage points.
This company had no formal planning process and was in desperate need for a strategic plan that would align the board and the management team. They had recently lost their sponsor and were facing a major identity crisis.
The first step Steve helped with was to improve the relationship between the management and the board. The process of working through the model took the focus off the personality clashes and gave them a structure within which to work. With this step, the two groups were able to start to work together. They changed their name, their sponsorship, and their strategic direction, from a corporate sponsored entity to a community-chartered credit union. It also provided a process to document the strategic plan that the management could take to the staff and communicate the new direction and helped to get them all working together.
A major learning for this organization has been to keep the strategic plan in mind at all times. Steve has shown them how to not only focus on the tactical, but also to think every day about how their actions relate back to their strategic plan.

PETROTRIN chairman, Lindsay Gillette, yesterday declared there was "strong evidence" which suggests that two of the 11 oil spills which occurred over the last two weeks were acts of sabotage.
However, he said the exact causes of all these spills remain unclear, and under investigation. With the estimated cost of cleaning-up these spills at $8 million and rising, Gillette said Petrotrin is "going to spend whatever is required" to clean-up the spills, and is hoping to complete all of this work by the end of February.
Gillette made the comment at a news conference at the Office of the Prime Minister in St Clair, accompanied by other Petrotrin officials, after they briefed a meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) chaired by Acting Prime Minister Errol McLeod.
Reminding reporters the 11 oil spills were "highly unusual," Gillette said four were directly related to the State oil company. Four were related to Trinity Exploration, one to Neal and Massy Energy Services, two from an oil sheen in the Gulf of Paria, for which no source has been identified, and the one in La Brea.
While insisting there was no way these two incidents were acts of negligence, and saying the matter was being investigated by the police, Gillette could not say what was the cause of the other three oil spills attributed to Petrotrin. "We are also continuing our investigations," he said.

The new 2014 BMW 4 Series Convertible
The new BMW 4 Series Convertible open a new era in the premium segment of the middle class for BMW convertible models. The BMW 4 Series Convertible is establishing new standards of dynamic, elegance and driving pleasure. Compared to the BMW 3 Series Convertible, the new BMW 4 Series Convertible has an increased width, track and wheelbase.
BMW 4 Series Convertible
The BMW 4 Series Convertible design language is an unmistakable silhouette and elegance with balanced proportions. The interior roof is fully upholstered and has interior lights contributing to the atmosphere that the client expects from a top premium sports coupe. Low and sports seats provide more space for the head, and more leg space in the back compared to the previous model.
BMW 4 Series Convertible can be ordered with an in-line six-cylinder petrol engine (BMW 435i Convertible), a four-cylinder petrol engine (BMW 428i Convertible) and a four-cylinder diesel (BMW 420d Convertible). These engines cover a performance range of between 184 hp and 306 hp and feature the latest BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. The engine power is transferred to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission gearbox. BMW also provides automatic transmission for all engines.
BMW 4 Series Convertible's driving pleasure is complemented by outstanding fuel economy.

In a surprising development, issuers held on to the risk-retention portions of half of the single-borrower offerings that priced from January to June, instead of selling the bonds to high-yield investors.
Many observers had expected the 5% retention slice of such deals to find strong investor demand, especially from insurance companies. But for the 22 transactions during the first six months under the new regulations, dealers handed off the risk-retention responsibility to third parties only 11 times.
The reason? A combination of thin yields and complicated sales contracts, which require buyers to indemnify issuers from losses if the buyers are later found to have violated the retention rules.
In the first half, issuers addressed risk retention in one of two ways — either by retaining bonds themselves (typically 5% of each class) or by selling the junior 5% of the deal structure (a "horizontal strip") to an investor.
The 11 horizontal strips sold in the first half generally range in grade from single-B to double-B. Five carry fixed rates and in most cases have weighted average lives of 7-10 years. Five carry floating rates and have weighted average lives of 2-3 years. And one was divided into fixed- and floating-rate tranches.
The yield hovered around 6% on the fixed-rate strips and Libor plus 600 bp (or roughly 7% initially) on the floating-rate strips. Those were disappointing levels for investors that had expected yields to reach the high single digits or low double digits, according to a handful of pros.
"There were guys who went out and started raising funds to buy these bonds, but the returns came up short," said one sellsider. "There was a disconnect between what they had promised to their investors and what they could actually deliver." Such fund shops were forced to move to the sidelines, he said.
The returns are roughly in line with yields on mezzanine loans backed by institutional-quality real estate, which usually attract a mix of insurers, pension funds and sovereign-wealth investors. A big difference is that buyers of retention bonds are required to hold them for the long term.
The horizontal strips were acquired by Prima Capital (four), Blackstone (two), Oxford Properties (two), BlackRock (one), Oaktree Capital (one) and Square Mile Capital (one).
Notably absent were insurers. "If we're going to try to get yields like that, it's easier to just go and get mezz — and the mezz is liquid," said one insurance executive.
For some, the indemnifications required by issuers were a stumbling block. Generally, issuers want the retention buyer to have a minimum amount of assets under management, including a prescribed amount that can't be subject to any liquidity restrictions.
"They want to know that you have enough assets that they can get at to compensate them for whatever losses you cause them if you break the rules and get caught," said one investor.
It's unclear if a significant proportion of issuers will continue to take on the risk-retention portions of their single-borrower transactions, which are backed by one or more large loans on real estate with an individual owner. Some dealers said they could keep doing so indefinitely. "We'll continue on the way we've been going, and it's no big deal," said one.
Others said that investors will probably resume fund raising with lower yield goals and surface as retention buyers later this year or next year. "The market will catch up to raising the right money for this, and you'll start to see more [third-party] trades in the future," predicted one investor.

Signal will build a deaf friendly community in Shropshire reducing stigma, isolation and loneliness to 64,000 people helping them to improve the quality of their life and play a full part in their family,community and social life.
Hearing loss is a hidden disability affecting the quality of life for over 20% of the population. People can live with the effects of hearing loss for over 10 years before seeking help.This leads to serious issues of isolation, loneliness, depression and an increased risk of dementia and abuse for sufferers.
Provide a Shropshire location with easy access to practical and emotional support for hearing loss.
Success will be increasing awareness of the facility at The Hub, and measuring an increased number of people accessing ongoing practical and emotional support for hearing loss.
The project will be key to building a deaf friendly community in Shropshire by increasing awareness of this hidden disability enabling people to play a full part in their family, social and community life, and reducing the stigma around deafness and hearing loss.
There is a risk that the project will not raise enough money to become sustainable for the future. We are dealing with this by setting up a fundraising plan and looking to diversify income streams to become full funded within 3 years.
We will report to donors via our quarterly newsletter 'Wave' & Annual Report available to donors either in printed format or by email. Regular news is available on our website, blog and social media pages. Donors will be very welcome to visit our Hub in central Shrewsbury to see our work in action.
Currently the greatest need is to work with older people over the age of 50 in Shropshire who are most at risk in terms of isolation, depression and an increased risk of dementia and abuse.
Signal has over 160 years experience of working with the deaf community in Shropshire.This project is the result of over two years consultation with the community about their needs for the future.

Usher and will.i.am took to the stage for an electrifying Super Bowl 45 halftime performance of their hit collaboration, 'OMG.' 'So watch y'all think of that?' Usher tweeted after his daring performance, which included him descending from the top of the stadium.


Paris is on our list of things to do before we become a family of three. My husband can tell you that I've been talking about it since I found out we were getting a car.
However, when everything happened last week, I changed my mind.
The weekends in our house are for celebrating, being together, dreaming, and delighting in God. We have started taking Sabbath rest seriously around here. But the whole weekend felt ruined when I awoke that morning to the news of my dreamy Paris being stricken with bloodshed and tears.
My heart felt that kind of deep heaviness that doesn't go away with just a hug or an encouraging word. The tears came easily that morning as I sat with the Lord, but really, it wasn't Paris I was crying for.
It was for the world. It was for me. It was for us.
I was laughing and giving the kids a bath and suddenly I was panicking. Little did I know, that while cozy in my home, there were bombs going off in a train station in Ankara. People dying and screaming in pain, only a mile from my brother's apartment where he's staying while on his internship. His window overlooking the rising smoke from the horrific scene.
This is all hits too close to home, I thought.
I closed the curtains in the living room.
I didn't want people to see in. I wanted to shut the world out. I wanted to hide in my house and feel protected and safe, or at least try to deceive myself for another night.
First Ankara, then Beirut, now Paris, now this is definitely getting too close to home. Who's next?
Will it be my neighborhood, my street, my family?
The thoughts were robbing me of joy, stealing my peace, barging into the door of my mind like unwelcome and dangerous intruders.
That night I had yet another dream of getting separated from my children. Following that, another recurring dream of the plane I was flying on having to turn back because it was about to be shot down.
If it isn't through the world news or in my own thoughts, he comes into my dreams.
To shut the curtains. Close everyone out.
To never step foot on a plane…ever, again.
To never invite a refugee to our house for dinner, let alone befriend them.
To never go to Paris.
And sometimes, like last weekend, I begin to believe those lies again.
They are lies that tell me the world is dripping with evil, full of death, and gripped with hate.
The lies keep me curled up, shivering with fear and tears, dreaming nightmares, and living behind my iron curtains.
But the reason I'm unleashing these words and my worries today is because of this one thing.
There is always hope with Jesus.
It's a hope that comes across as offensive to some, a hope that still smiles when brokenness shatters our world. This hope that clings to life when death seems like it has the obvious upper hand. This hope that continues to resurrect and create new dreams for you and for me, for people, for the world.
This hope is unbelievable, too good to be true.
But that's what makes it so divine.
Hope is bigger than us. Hope is God's voice breaking through our sorrowful Sabbath weekends, our panic stricken evenings, and sweaty nightmares.
His voice is, and will forever be, breathing Hope into your heart, my heart, and having ripple effects out into the world.
Only Hope helps me to tear back the curtains once more, sleep peacefully next to my husband, live out my days with joy, believe that every human is still worthy of my trust and a place at our dinner table, and to one day soon step foot in the city of Paris.
Hope welcomes me into heaven on earth.
Hope definitely hits too close to home.


We started this blog out of our love of Disney media and a desire to have a way of sharing that enthusiasm with other people who are interested in the same stuff we are. We want to be as transparent as possible so that everyone who visits feels comfortable knowing what info we see of yours on the back end.
We collect limited personal information about who you are and where you are, as well as technical data about how you are accessing this site. Although the info we collect at Add More Mouse is extremely limited, the same cannot be said if you click any of the links in our articles; any websites you visit via this one have their own privacy policies, data collection methods and tracking abilities, and we have nothing to do with any of that.
One of the things we like to do is make lists of interesting Disneyana we find online. We certainly do not own all the things we highlight on this website – if we do own an item on one of our lists we'll be sure to include that info in the post. As of the writing of this disclosure page, we have not received any free or discounted items to feature on our blog – if that ever does happen, we will be sure to include that info in our review of said items. We promise to never let a free or discounted item (including books and movies) sway our opinion about the item itself.
We will at times utilize affiliate marketing links – this means if you click one of our links and buy an item from that website, the purchase is tracked back to Add More Mouse and we may receive a small percentage of that sale (at absolutely no additional cost to you).
We want to state once more – we often do not own all the items on the lists we make of Disney items out there in the world. Mostly we highlight a mix of items we do own with items we think would bring some genuine Disney Magic to your lives. We get no incentives to feature anything – if we see stuff in stores or online that wish we had ourselves, we'll feature it in case one of our readers might dig it, too.

You may not realize it, but your garage door can say a lot about your house. It can be shabby and not well kept, or it can be clean and well preserved; each will tell a different tale. Not only that, there are certain aspects of your property, like security and insulation that can be greatly enhanced by having a modern door installed. Here are a few of the different benefits that this type of door can offer your home.
One of the clearest examples of the benefits a garage door can offer you is very obvious. It can improve the curb appeal of your home. Beautifully designed wood can offer it a classic wholesome look, while a stylish steel door may present a vault-like sturdy appearance. The options are plentiful and limited only by your imaginations. There are additional decorations that can be hung or attached to the surface of the panels in order to distinguish your home even more from the rest of your neighborhood. If you're looking to sell your home or to be the envy of your cul-de-sac, then a new garage door has a lot to offer you.
Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world. The reason why garage door security technology has advanced so much in recent years is because there was a need for it. They say necessity is the mother of invention, and that certainly is the case here. Nowadays your door could use rolling code technology which will prevent tech-savvy thieves from getting in, or it can be connected to motion sensor lights and even your home alarm system. Many people store all sorts of valuables and personal belongings in their garage, not to mention their car, so it's important that your door provides adequate security for your home.
Speaking of stored belongings. The weather conditions outside of your home, mainly moisture and temperature levels, can come to affect things inside your property. If you want the things that you keep inside your garage to be properly protected from the elements, you need the door to be weatherproof and insulating. This isn't just for physical objects, it's for your sake as well. An insulated garage door will make staying inside the room a lot more bearable during the cold winter months or the hot summer season. What's more, it will also reduce heat transfer, which means your HVAC unit won't have to work as hard to maintain your desired indoor temperature. That comes down to less money spent on energy and more money spent on whatever you'd like.
As you can tell, an automatic garage door system has a lot to offer you and your home. Some problems may occur, however, as is the case with any complex mechanical system. When you find yourself in need of assistance, don't hesitate to contact our team at Garage Door Repair Deer Park. We're always happy to help.

Notes From Carol
July Muse & Notes
Summer is in full swing but like so many other people I have not taken a vacation, travelled, performed or enjoyed my usual summer fanfare. My 4th of July was spent at home watching fireworks on TV and burning sparklers in my back yard. While this summer has been so different from all my other summers I have found hope lying in so many hidden aspects of my life.
I have hope for the future. I have hope that as an Artist I can tap into this experience and create my best work yet. I have hope and inspiration from my daily surroundings from my garden, nature and family. I have hope due to the innovations and creativity that has risen in all facets of life from this time. My biggest hope is that we can learn from this and treat others with more kindness, respect and love.
With some extra time on my hands I have had a renewed interest in history. Looking back through history I'm reminded of the despair and unbearable events humans have suffered throughout the ages through disease, tyrants, incredible cruelty, wars, but also the hope in the human spirit that has allowed survival and renewal.
Music continues to provide inspiration, healing, and unification. I continue to write and practice and hope to be able to share with you in the future through performances and new recordings. As tough as this time has been, it has also been a time of hope.
I want to close with my latest video "Love Again" from my new Album Stronger Now which embraces this theme Hope and Love.
Just say yes (June Notes)
As we are approach the 2nd half of 2020 I'm reflecting that time has passed so quickly and so differently than what I had expected the year to be like. When I started writing my notes for June I asked myself "What can I write about that's uplifting?".
While I have been bummed about cancelled shows, cancelled jobs & paychecks, staying home quarantined and not seeing friends or doing the things I usually do, I have embraced that it's not about me. So many others are suffering in different ways. It is a time of change and growth.
I got a letter yesterday in the mail from a fan who had purchased my new Album "Stronger Now ". I was so moved by his note that I decided to share the comments I've been receiving about the Album from letters, YouTube comments and messages. The comments have opened my heart because the ultimate compliment is for someone to say they "felt something" when they listen to my music and that it "meant something" to them. I'm very humbled to share a few testimonials below and have removed a few names for privacy.
As I move into the last half of 2020 I accept the challenge to "Just Say Yes" to new opportunities that come along. And will keep you posted.
May - April Notes
During April and May "Stronger Now" Single continued to be in the Top 20 Billboard Smooth Jazz Chart and is currently on its 16th week , Top 10 MediaBase for 16 weeks peaking at #1, Top 5 Smooth Jazz Network and Smooth Jazz Global, #2 Groove Jazz and RadioWave the week of May 25th. Many positive personal comments have been made on my UTube Video of Stronger Now as well as increased listeners on Radio Outlets, 75.8K listeners on Spotify for May , Apple Music and others. My Album Stronger Now and Merch is available directly from the Official Store by clicking here.
While I haven't performed during this period due to Lockdowns and postponed events, I have been booked for Catalina Island Jazz Trax Festival for the closing weekend October 18 http://jazztrax.com/ , Re-booked for Elkhardt Jazz Festival June 2021, and have other dates soon to be announced.
My students have continued to take piano lessons via Facetime. I was able to have a Spring Piano Recital via Zoom. It hasn't been an easy time but there are some Silver Linings. Several families had relatives all over the world to tune in via Zoom for the Recital which was a new experience for all of us and made the families very happy.
On a personal note, I have had some time to catch up with my family, my home and garden, and some friends on Facetime and Zoom. I also have a new puppy named Marigold. She and Zeno have had lots of attention and play all the time. We have enjoyed some walks along the river trail and other outdoor trails.
Zeno and Marigold
As Summer approaches we're faced with continuing challenges. I continue to write at home and have several projects I'm working on. Stay safe.
March Notes
March 2020 blew in with a whirlwind of anticipation. I performed at The Tin Pan March 5 in Richmond, Virginia with the best Band imaginable, which included Joseph Patrick Moore, Dan Baraszu, Jay Williams, and Art Sherrod. We absolutely killed it on the Stage. Unfortunately it was clouded with the oncoming storm of Coronavirus COVID-19. It was the beginning of the storm overtaking the US and we were very concerned on our travel through the airports. But we had no idea it would be our last show for a while to come.
As March is coming to a close I have spent time picking up on projects that I have put on the backburner for a while. One of these is putting to Sheet Music my Piano Pieces for others to learn on the piano. I've been working on "Stronger Now" and "Sun's Out" to start with. My goal is to have all my piano pieces available from my website so please check out my web store from time to time to keep up with the latest available.
I have Performances lined up for the Summer and Fall and I am hopeful that I will be able to Perform at these and we will see a resurgence of Festivals and Live Concerts return in a new healthy environment for all of us.
In the time I have had at home while sheltering in place I've spent some time in my Garden pulling weeds and tending to neglected plants. It's been a time of self-examination and quiet introspection. I've explored some ideas for new music and had lots of melodies run through my mind.
During this time I have also had great pleasure in seeing "Stronger Now" rise to #1 on MediaBase Smooth A/C, Top 20 on Billboard, Top 10 on Smooth Jazz Top 20, #1 Smoothjazz.com , #3 GrooveJazz Chart, #5 RadioWave Smooth Jazz now we will all emerge "Stronger" and more resilient at the end of this. Check with your favorite Radio Station for "Stronger Now".
Stay tuned for more upcoming news…

Year in Review (2019)
October - November Notes
First and foremost, my heart is full of gratitude for the amazing reception of my Single "Sun's Out"!! When we went to Radio with Gorov Music Marketing the week of July 4thit wasn't an expectation that "Sun's Out" would still be on Billboard at Thanksgiving. Now entering the 22nd week, "Sun's Out" is celebrating its 18th Week on Billboard Smooth Jazz Chart, and still rides on Groove Jazz at #2, RadioWave #2, and peaked on MediaBase Chart at #1 , being my 1st Number 1 Hit.
During October "Stronger Now" Album was finished and has already received rave Reviews from Critics. I was fortunate to have amazing talent add to the integrity of my work. Please visit the dedicated page for "Stronger Now" for full details.
On a personal note I visited family in Washington, DC at the end of October. It was a really great trip full of fun and laughter but I caught a nasty bug on the plane ride back. Flying is great but has also been termed a" Germ Tube" for many reasons. I'm fully recovered now and have a renewed appreciation for my health.
Yesterday I found out that I was Nominated Best Smooth Jazz Artist 2019. I was completely overwhelmed at the Honor. Voting takes place now through January 3rd. Please check out the Website to Vote and have a look at the other Artists as well.
Currently I'm making preparations for the Holiday Season. I'm performing several gigs, preparing my Piano Students for the Holiday Piano Recital, and Booking Shows for 2020.
Celebration (Aug-Sept)
Late Summer has proved to be a time of celebration and completion.
I celebrated my birthday in August with friends on a Girl's Trip to Rosemary Beach, Fla. It was a much needed time to catch up with my friends after a very busy season of performing and working on my new Album.
August/September also heralded "Sun's Out" Single to the Top Smooth Jazz Charts with current status on Billboard at #14, Smooth Jazz Top 20 #5, Radiowave #3, Groove Jazz Music #4, MediaBase # 17, and Smooth Jazz .com #26.
I had the honor of Recording at Orange Peel Studios with Lil John Roberts who added drum tracks, Sam Sims and Joseph Patrick Moore added bass tracks, Paul Brown and Dan Baraszu added guitar tracks and engineered by Raheem Amlani. I went to Silent Sound Studios in Atlanta to work with TK Kidd on the legendary Yamaha C7 for piano tracks. While Paul Brown was in town I also sat in with his band at Suite Lounge Jazz Series in Atlanta and played some keys. I am finishing up the last track for the Album with Lew Laing in California.
I was also honored to participate in the WCLK Fundraising Event Sept 25 and joined other celebrities at the Festivities.
Stay tuned for more news on the new Album release Date and Events.

July Notes From Carol
July has flown by with lots of happenings.
"Sun's Out", my new Smooth Jazz Radio Single, was Released the Week of July 8. It was the #1 Most Added the 1st week and Most Increased Plays for the past two weeks. The response from "Sun's Out" has been very positive.
"Her latest single, "Sun's Out" will give you a vision of an exotic beach with that perfect coastal breeze. Yes, I'll have a Pina Colada!"...Brenda Lorenzo, Beat Atlanta Online Magazine
I also decided to take a little detour on the way to my scheduled performance in Waterbury, Connecticut July 6 at the Brass City Jazz Fest through New York City for a few days. It was a great experience to take a Ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island on the 4th of July and see Fireworks off the Harbor of the Hudson River. I also went to the Empire State Building, One World Trace Center, walked through Central Park and saw "The Lion King" Broadway Play. It was great to walk everywhere to offset all the fabulous food. New York City never disappoints with sights and Events.
It was also announced that "FEMME FLIGHT" received an Official HMMA Award in the Jazz Division, 2019. The finals will be announced in November, 2019 in none other than Hollywood, California.
The Atlanta Chapter of the Recording Academy held its Summer Celebration Meet and Greet. It was great hearing some new music Performances and running into so many Professional music friends.
My new 5 month old puppy, Zeno, continues to get bigger every day and he is absolutely adorable.
July 2019 - wow!
Carol Albert
Spring Whirlwind
May/April 2019
WOW!! What a whirlwind spring it's been. April flew by too quickly. The April 12 show in Las Vegas at Myron's Cabaret Jazz at the Smith Center was a huge success. I had a stellar band with Ragan Whiteside as guest Artist, Joseph Patrick Moore, Chris Harris, Carlos Mata-Alvarez, and Wayne Viar. We had a Standing Ovation and cheers for more at the conclusion of the show. While I was in Las Vegas Ragan and I visited and conducted an Interview with KUNV Radio Station in Las Vegas with Kim Linzy and Steve Edwards. We had a great time meeting the staff at the Station and sharing some laughter. It was also great seeing my friend Myron Martin, Founder of the Smith Center, at my show (read more about it here).
I came back to Atlanta and started on my City Winery Show for May 9. It was great fun having Justin Rogers shoot some video and seeing some of my old friends at the Show. I debuted some of my new songs during the show as well as played some of my older songs. It was great to see such a positive reception of my new material.
I continue to perform at Chateau Elan on weekends that I'm not travelling and work on my new recordings. I'm also looking forward to my upcoming show at Jazz in the Park June 9 at Birmingham, Alabama and Brass City Jazz Fest July 6 in Waterbury Connecticut. If you live in one of those areas drop by and make sure you say hello to me.

What is the ICD-10 Code for Huntington's Disease?
The ICD-10 Code for Huntington's Disease is G10.
G10 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The 2018 edition of ICD-10-CM G10 became effective on October 1, 2017.
This is the American ICD-10-CM version of G10 - other international versions of ICD-10 G10 may differ.
ICD-9-CM 333.4 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 333.4 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.

So basically, ever since ive bought this bike brand new its been having a few issues. First off, its likes to bog down when you say "drop the clutch to do a wheelie, of pop the wheel off the ground to get over a rock." But after it, its wont let you give it throttle for 10 seconds and then run like normal. If you give it gas during those 10 seconds, it dies. So what ive done is change the fuel line because it was kinked in some places( it helped a bit, but not the problem.). Also had a problem where it died once from giving it gas, and had to bump start it to get it going. Im thinking its running to lean. Has like 10 hours on it. It is rideable, but this hinders it bad. Will check plug. I will be updating this. but leave me suggestions.
Check the carburetor's float height.

Sustainable technologies lie at the heart of ABB's business. More than half of our global revenues come from solutions that directly address the causes of climate change, and a large part of our value proposition is centered on improving the energy efficiency of our customers' operations while reducing downtime and waste.
With our ABB Ability™ offering of digital solutions, launched in 2017, we have an innovative and truly digital portfolio for customers in utilities, industry and transport & infrastructure that is based on two clear value propositions: bringing electricity from any power plant to any plug; and automating industries from natural resources to finished products.
As a pioneering technology leader, ABB contributes to the delivery of many of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We have identified seven where we can have the most impact and we are seeking to maximize our contribution to the specific targets of these SDGs. Our technologies are transforming the way energy is generated and delivered; helping industries increase productivity to generate more jobs and greater prosperity; and improving the urban environment with e-mobility and smart buildings and infrastructure.
For ABB, 2017 was a transition year. We streamlined and strengthened ABB, in accordance with our Next Level strategy, further executing on the plan that began in 2014. Key milestones were the acquisition of B&R (Bernecker + Rainer Industrie-Elektronik GmbH), which closed a historic gap in our automation portfolio, giving ABB the most comprehensive industrial automation offering in the industry; and our white-collar productivity program, which has delivered a simpler, more agile ABB, increased our customer focus, and improved the efficiency of our business and support functions. The launch of ABB Ability – with more than 210 digital solutions – strengthened our global leadership in energy-efficient automation and control for industry, as well as in electrification and power transmission and distribution.
75% lowering
of carbon emissions through our microgrid on Robben Island
These advances were exemplified by the microgrid system we installed on South Africa's Robben Island, the World Heritage Site and museum where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned during apartheid. The island previously relied on diesel generators but now uses ABB technology to run a solar-hybrid microgrid, operated remotely from Cape Town, nine kilometers away. The microgrid is expected to lower fuel costs and carbon emissions by 75 percent.
Complementing ABB's expertise in power grids is our leadership in electric-vehicle charging solutions. We have one of the world's largest installed base of fast-charging stations for electric vehicles, with more than 6,000 in 57 countries, and we are partnering with cities and bus companies all over the world to install high-power charging solutions for electric buses. In 2017, our innovative "TOSA" flash-charging technology, which recharges buses in 20-second bursts at stops while passengers are embarking and disembarking, went into service in Geneva and was chosen for a new bus line in the French city of Nantes.
40% reduction
in the need for onboard fossil fuel using our Azipod ship propulsion units
ABB's sustainable transport solutions extend to railways and trains, as well as to oceangoing tankers, freighters and cruise ships, which increasingly use electric propulsion to ply the world's waters more cleanly and efficiently. ABB's propulsion units, known as Azipod systems, power vessels with steerable, high-efficiency, electric-drive propellers that makes ships significantly more maneuverable and can reduce the need for onboard fossil fuels by 40 percent or more.
ABB supports the Paris Agreement and views it as a critical opportunity to accelerate the shift to renewables and e-mobility as well as dramatically improve energy efficiency. ABB's commitment to a sustainable future underlies our full participation in the UN-led "Sustainable Energy for All" initiative.
ABB's efforts to drive safety and integrity continued in 2017. We refined our targets for safety and security according to a single metric to strengthen our focus on reducing injuries, and introduced a single ISO-compliant HSE (health, safety and environment) management system. We made progress on reducing injuries – 91 fewer incidents than were recorded in 2016 – but tragically three people died working for ABB last year. It is our clear objective to eliminate fatalities and to bring injuries down to negligible levels and we will not rest until this is achieved.
Following the unfortunate embezzlement scheme that was exposed in our South Korean subsidiary in February 2017, the company took swift and decisive action. We identified the relevant control issues and remediated the material weakness in our internal controls and replaced the management team in South Korea.
Our robust sustainability framework, adopted in 2013, prioritizes pioneering technology, responsible operations and responsible relationships. It clearly articulates how ABB creates value across a wide range of stakeholder issues. In 2017, we consulted with both internal and external stakeholders on our nine current sustainability objectives to explore how these measures and targets could be updated and improved. That process resulted in many of the reporting changes described in this report. For the first time, we have introduced ambitious targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve gender equality in our senior management team.
