Real Estate Investing In the Philadelphia Suburbs
A good reminder to commercial real estate investors, is even the best plans go turn and not go as planned. BisNow has a recent report, Main Line Office Portfolio Last Sold Before Recession Hits The Market At A Discount, on how a suburban Philadelphia office park is being offered for sale at a price point $40,000,000 below the purchase price.
Pitcairn Properties bought Chesterbrook Corporate Center in Berwyn and Glenhardie Corporate Center in Wayne for $250M in 2006, and has put them up for sale expecting to receive only $210M, the Philadelphia Business Journal reports.
AmerisourceBergen represents the issue in microcosm: It will depart multiple buildings in a sprawling, suburban office park for a single, new-construction development in the mini-urban node of Conshohocken.
Whoever buys those buildings, whether as part of the full portfolio or if they wind up taking only one of the office parks, will be looking for ways to update the property for the new paradigm.
Definitely doesn't sound like this suburban office space investment went as planned. For those looking to invest in suburban residential and commercial properties, this article has a potential formula to improve your real estate investing, Philly's Suburban Growth Sticks To Established Areas And Formulas For Success.
Conshohocken and Main Line suburbs like Ardmore have dense development areas surrounding their train stations, and even as King of Prussia gains value in office and multifamily, the former two areas remain the cream of the crop as public transit becomes a greater component of workers' lives.
"I think we've doubled the amount of train riders in our [Conshohocken] buildings in the last two years," Oliver Tyrone Pulver Vice President of Marketing Esther Pulver said. "[Reverse commuting] is going to increase in a pretty big way. The lines have added trains to the schedule and added cars to the trains. I don't think transit is going any other direction."
According to Holton and Pulver, redevelopments of large industrial parks into mixed office and light industrial have enormous potential if they are near transit.
As both articles show there is ample opportunity for the savvy real estate investor. It will be the investor that can find the best opportunities that continue to see success in the new paradigm of commercial real estate.
Finding towns near mass transit that could be poised for strong growth can be beneficial for everyone from the residential fix and flip investor to those looking to revitalize the suburban office or apartment park into the type of property being desired by today's tenants.
Another look at the benefit of investing near a rail line can be seen in the recent purchase of a premium suburban office building in Conshohocken. American Real Estate Partners recently purchased Eight Tower Bridge in Conshohocken. GlobeSt has some highlights on the purchase including a quote from a principal at AREP highlighting the benefit of being near mass transportation.
"In Eight Tower Bridge, we have acquired a best-in-class asset in the very healthy Conshohocken submarket," says Michael Gribbon, AREP principal and executive managing director.
"The supply and demand dynamics of Conshohocken continue to improve, and the tenant community continues to favor this market due to its great rail access, its walkable amenities and its proximity to Philadelphia's most coveted bedroom communities."

This is a timely story for the start of Te Haerenga, as it involves a man that means a great to me personally and, in some ways, is the reason this blog was started at all.
Last night in the Natural History Museum, London, the Green Awards 2010 brought hundreds of people together to celebrate the best of the past years "creativity in sustainability". The glittering, 'green carpet' event was a great celebration of the green movement, now in it's fifth year, with awards ranging from Best Green Event Award, won by the National Trust for "A Plant in Time – A Touring Exhibition" (UK), to Green Awards Grand Prix won by the China Environmental Protection Foundation for "Green Pedestrian Crossing".
The star of the show, however, was the man who received Lifetime Achievement Award, the great naturalist and broadcaster, Sir David Attenborough. Attenborough has has over 50 years of documentary experience under his belt and at 83 years old he is still going strong. His reach and influence cannot be underestimated and with series such the Life to his name, he is rightly respected around the world. The label of the leading authority on nature and wildlife is well deserved, and he has been an inspiration to generations of film-makers and scientists, including this very blogger.
For my part, Sir David has, unknowingly, played no small part in shaping my path as an environmental scientist and was instrumental in developing my passion for the subject. The love that he showed for his craft and everything that was around, regardless of where he was, sparked an unending fascination when I was just a wee lad. My copy of the BBC's Planet Earth series is never far away and I'm hoping that some generous soul will buy me The Life Collection this Christmas (hint, hint ;)). Those shows always cheered me up when I was sick and still always recharges my batteries if I'm struggling for inspiration. I have never met the great man sadly but I sincerely hope that I have the opportunity one day. Who knows what the future will hold.
The most incredible thing of all is that despite years Sir David is still working hard on new documentaries, his latest being First Life on BBC Two. The man is a machine, and I look forward to all of his future endeavours.
David, you are my hero and I wish you many more years of extrodinary adventures and discovery.


Restoring from a Hyper-V Standard backup will give you the virtual hard disk file(s) for the virtual machines you want to recover. These files are restored to a specific point in time and will be ready to be imported into Hyper-V. This article will show you how to perform a Hyper-V Standard restore.
Note - In addition to the space needed to accommodate the restored (.vhd) or (.vhdx) files, expect to use a significant amount of space for the rebuilding of incremental changes. The base file and changes will be restored simultaneously then merged together.
Each VM has its own folder created within the specified restore directory.
Within that folder, the VM files are created with the same folder structure as when they were backed up.
All VHD/VHDX files (associated with VM disks) and the XML configuration file are restored with a VM restore. If the VM was backed up in offline mode and the memory state needed to be saved, the VM restores the associated BIN and VSV files.
Hyper-V lets you restore virtual machines to any system for import into Hyper-V or mount them as virtual disks.
After you have restored your selected virtual machines, you must Import them into Hyper-V to power on and access the VMs.
To access Hyper-V import options, launch Hyper-V Manager, select Import Virtual Machine, and then select the VM directory you have restored.
Choose this option if the destination you selected for the recovered virtual machines are the destination you intend to run it from.
The original ID of the VM is used when registering the VM with hypervisor.
Choose this option if the destination you selected for the recovered virtual machines are a temporary location (for example, on a share or removable drive) and you want Hyper-V to move the restored files to the appropriate location and register the virtual machines for you.
The original ID of the VM is used when registering the VM with the hypervisor.
Choose this option if you intend to import the recovered virtual machines multiple times (for example, you are using the virtual machines as a template for a new virtual machine). Hyper-V copies the restored files to the appropriate location for you.
A new ID is generated and used to register the VM with the hypervisor.
Refer to the third-party Hyper-V Manager documentation for more information.
A VM is imported in a certain state depending on the state it was in when backed up. The following table provides the various backup states.
Hyper-V Replication is a feature of Hyper-V 2012 and greater versions that allows users to replicate their production VMs to a secondary host on a near-continuous schedule.
If you are using Hyper-V replication, it is recommended that the agent be installed on the recovery host and backs up the recovery VMs. This method puts less load on the production server. This method also provides more data protection.
Refer to the third-party Hyper-V Replication documentation for more information.
To manage an active recovery, perform the following steps.
At the Computer page, click the Active Recoveries tab, and then click the Manage Recovery button, as shown in the example below.
The End test recovery and delete changes page is displayed.
Ensure the differencing disks are not mounted or in use by any powered-on VM, or the delete operation fails.
Select the Delete VM changes made during recovery mode and resume backup schedule check box.
Any changes made to this VM or its disks while in recovery mode are lost.
The differencing disks created during recovery are deleted.
The recovery VM is powered off and deleted.
All files created as a part of the test restore are removed from the user-defined location.
The recovery VM is deleted from the selected host's inventory.
To restore a Hyper-V Standard backup, perform the following steps.
Navigate to the Computer page.
Click the backup type you want to restore.
In the Current Selection pane, select the VMs and revisions you would like to restore.
You can choose only one revision to restore per selected VM.
Multiple VMs can be restored simultaneously.
Clicking the arrow at the right of the items displays more revisions.
The selection is displayed in the far-right pane. Click the remove icon to remove any selections or clear the item check box.
The Destination page is displayed.
Upon restore, a new directory for each selected VM is created in the storage location directory and each VM's associated files are restored into their respective, created directory.
Once restored, the VM files can be imported into Hyper-V.
At the Path field, type a path, or click the Browse button to select the storage location of the restore.
After selecting the storage location of the restore, click Next.
Important: Make sure to add the recovered VMs to a backup set so they are backed up properly.
Optionally, for more information about restoring Hyper-V data within various environments, click the click here link.
Note: This option opens a new page in the Barracuda MSP Knowledge base that allows you to access additional information.
Verify your selections, and then click the Restore button.
The Restore Selections page is displayed showing the status of the restore.


Climate University is a joint project of 11 universities in Finland to foster climate change and sustainability education.
Jyväskylä workshop "Teaching and learning for sustainable future" concentrates on the outcomes of the Climate University assessment of needs that was conducted in February 2019. Based on the assessment, we will workshop the initial idea of the new materials to be produced within the Climate University project. We will also hear local perspectives, and commentary from collaborators.


Rep. Bennie Thompson, chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, sent a letter to President Barack Obama asking that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) lead a new task force to address public-safety interoperability challenges.
The letter follows testimony last week at a House subcommittee on emergency communications, preparedness and response hearing from DHS Assistant Secretary for the Office of Cyber Security and Communications Greg Schaffer that such a task force was needed and technical issues need to be worked out before the FCC moves forward with D block auction plans.
"Regardless of how the D block is ultimately allocated, it will be important for the administration to develop a realistic plan for funding the construction and sustainment of a public-safety broadband network," the letter said.

24 November 2014 Partnership with local builder wins award
Defence Housing Australia's (DHA) partnership with Darwin builder PTM Group has seen its leading residential development in Darwin, Breezes Muirhead, take out top honours at the premier building industry awards.
The Master Builders Association held its national awards in Canberra last week, with the development winning the award for best medium-density project over five dwellings. DHA engaged the local company to build 20 new houses at Breezes.
'DHA is proud to work with small businesses all across the country to build outstanding homes for Defence members and their families,' DHA Managing Director Peter Howman said. 'We build in a variety of locations and we always partner with local businesses, most of them small to medium size businesses. In Darwin we have teamed with PTM Group to build some truly remarkable homes that not only suit the lifestyle of the area, but will also stand the test of time.'
The architecturally-designed homes, which were designed by DKO architects, feature modern, innovative floor plans and street facades suiting Darwin's tropical lifestyle. In awarding PTM Group it was noted that, 'PTM made notable efforts to improve energy efficiency by using effective materials and design principles. With large overhangs, sun screens and correct orientation these houses average an energy star rating of 6.7, with the highest being 8.2'.
'This award is validation of the partnership between DHA and the building industry. It signifies the direction that DHA, is taking its developments, and in turn the direction we are hoping to take the construction industry. We pride ourselves on being innovative, and creating communities to suit the local environment. Nowhere is this more important than in the Top End.'

Hey fellas just figuring out how to post from my phone. Just a little background on myself I started boating when I was about 10 with my dad and his 16 foot skeeter had a race ready 120 merc on the back was crazy . I then bought my first boat a 76 glasitron carlson with a 5.8 and a berkley jet needless to say money pit lol. I now own a 92 boomerang had it for 4 years now and love it . I know its not the big boat most have but for the rivers and small lakes its a winner . As of right now I have all the interior getting recovered new deck carpet and windshield. Soon to get the new graphic put on also. Hope to have pics posted soon for yall.
Sounds like a good looking boat. Cant wait for some pics.
That's what I'm going to call my kids from now on, "The ROO Crew".
Can't wait for pics of the Boomerang. My Dad claims he had the first Berkely jet east of the Mississippi. He dropped a 400 Chevy in an old aluminum cabin cruiser with the jet. Man would that thing fly. He'd blow away those outboard guys all the time.
Welcome to the site! Do you ski, wakeboard, skate, surf, or just hang out?

Q: RSpec - accessing array methods I'm new to testing and struggling with some of the concepts. I understand the idea is to test things in isolation through mocks and stubs, however am struggling with the following:
class Circle
  has_many :jobs

  def accepted
    jobs.where('sitter_id > 0')
  end
end

class Job
  belongs_to :circle
end

And my RSpec:
require 'rails_helper'

RSpec.describe Circle, type: :model, focus: true do

  let (:circle_1) { FactoryGirl.create(:circle, title: 'London',
                                                location: 'London',
                                                administrator_id: 1) }

  let (:job_1) { FactoryGirl.create(:job, start_time: "2016-11-14 20:00:00",
                                          end_time: "2016-11-14 23:00:00",
                                          tokens_offered: 6,
                                          requester_id: 1,
                                          circle_id: 1,
                                          sitter_id: 5,
                                          actual_start_time: "2016-11-14 20:00:00",
                                          actual_end_time: "2016-11-14 23:30:00",
                                          tokens_paid: 7) }

  before do
    circle_1.stub(:jobs).and_return([job_1])
  end

  describe 'instance methods' do
    context 'accepted' do
      it 'should return jobs with a sitter' do
        expect(circle_1.accepted).to include(job_1)
      end
    end
  end
end

This results in:
NoMethodError:
   undefined method `where' for #<Array:0x007feb4ae72858>

Would I then stub the behaviour of the where method on the array? What I'm confused by is surely that's exactly what I'm testing, and by stubbing it I'm basically telling the test what the code does rather than testing the code itself?
If someone could explain if I'm understanding this wrong, and either way how I can either rewrite the test or get it to pass, it would be greatly appreciated.

A: The problem is that you stubbed AR collection to an array object, which of course does not have a where method.
You want to establish the association on the factory level. You can achieve it with
circle_id: circle_1.id # in job_1

Having this you won't have to stub the collection of jobs and your test will work as expected.

Gossip: Maurizio Sarri 'wants AC Milan defensive duo', Premier League clubs 'begin backtracking'
Dimitri Kondonis
Yahoo Sport UK September 10, 2018, 7:09 a.m. UTC
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is keen on AC Milan duo Romagnoli and Caldara, according to reports.
One down, one to go.
The international break pep-talk is hardly awe-inspiring, but we have survived the first round of fixtures and are almost out the other side.
The good news though, is that the gossip column is still here to keep you cosy and warm in these darkest of times.
We've even decided to take a break from the constant Paul Pogba talk. Remember last week when he spoke about leaving and then immediately said they aren't 'his words'? Good times.
Makelele backs Sarri to make history at ChelseaREAD MORE: Gilberto – Neymar has a lot of growing to do
This morning's news is that Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has already seen enough of his defence to suggest he wants to bring in two new names. (Sounds like his services could be required at Manchester United.)
AC Milan duo Alessio Romagnoli and Mattia Caldara are the two men being eyed up by the former Napoli coach, which poses all sorts of questions.
For starters, Caldara signed for Milan just last month and it is incredibly rare that a player moves on that quickly.
But even that aside, it's hard to see the Serie A giants willingly sell BOTH of the players they deemed as their future defensive partnership for years to come.
Ah well, maybe next time.
'We've made a huge mistake'
(Not actually quotes. Or are they?)
Meanwhile, The Sun are reporting that Premier League clubs have already had their Gob Bluth moment and realised what a mistake this season's early transfer window deadline was.
Regular reader (s?) will know how I feel about the entire shambles, but the tabloid is now reporting that top flight clubs will reconsider the move.
Probably for the best, given England's top flight was quite literally the only league handicapped by the decision.
John Terry to move to Russia?
Elsewhere, John Terry could yet get his final move, playing in Russia with Spartak Moscow. Presumably the driving decision for that move being the former one-club England man does not want to play against either Aston Villa or Chelsea.
West Ham, though, are said to be backing Manuel Pellegrini after a poor start to the season.
The Hammers, having splashed approximately £100million and appointed the highly-respected Pellegrini, are currently pointless. Not ideal.


Using a garlic press, press garlic cloves into butter and saute until garlic is fragrant and starts to brown.
Add peeled shrimp, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup white wine, if using. You can substitute more lemon juice or broth if you want more sauce, or simply leave it out. Simmer until shrimp is cooked through, about 4 minutes.
This recipe takes me back to a Spanish tapas restaurant I frequented in Boston when I first met my husband. We could walk to it from his condo and it had such delicious, fresh, real food. But for my new reality, this garlic shrimp is an easy delicious weeknight meal! It can be served alone with roasted vegetables on the side, or over zoodles, cauliflower rice, or brown rice.

What people are saying about Vienna
This place was the sole reason for my vacation. The journey I took to reach this place came with a few sacrifices of rest and sleep but it was totally worth it. The beautiful journey starts from Vienna to this small village Hallstatt which is so awesome with snow-peaked Alps on both sides of the road , If you are lucky it might snow the whole day which makes it more beautiful (I was lucky enough) and mesmerizing experience. When you reach the village it's just so unreal that its jaw-dropping beauty. The famous picture of the village with alps moutions in the background is a must, this view was worth the sleepless night and spending the money on this tour. I had to make a run for it back and forth the bus because I was bit late , but worth spending every penny.

The kayaking tour was a surprise birthday gift for my boyfriend. We had so much fun! James was a great guide, experienced, he's been giving kayaking tours and wine tours in Vienna for a couple of years now and took care of everything for us - we got to just enjoy the water and the tour of the city from the Old Danube. l am a local in Vienna, but found the tour to be a real treat providing me with new insights into my city. It was a relaxing, beautiful day out on the water, paddling, swimming and learning about Vienna. I liked our small group of people on the tour and fell in love with my city in a whole new way. Highly recommended.

This tour is worth considering if you don't want to have to worry about where to go, and driving conditions. The guide kept us on time, although it felt rushed at our meal breaks/WC breaks along the way. The guide, Elena, was super knowledgeable about the region, and had great stories to share, suggestions on where to visit next time. Not sure I would go to Hallstaat if given the opportunity again. Felt like the local community is quite overburdened with tourists. I couldn't imagine living there, with the deluge of visitors they receive, and I went during Corona Virus fears had cut those numbers significantly.

Cape Town - The Tour of Good Hope's elevation to UCI status for 2019 will ensure that one of South Africa's premier road tours is a drawcard for local and international competitors.
"Having UCI status helps from a strategic point of view, allowing our riders to earn points in events close to home," he said.
"International teams don't look at anything that's not UCI-rated," he said.
"It's important to attract international competition to local races as it provides stronger competition for our cyclists and prepares them better for what to expect overseas."
He felt the Tour of Good Hope would grow and attract international riders, which would have a positive spin-off for local cycling.

July 7, 2013 (JUBA) – The Secretary General of the South Sudan's ruling Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), Pagan Amum Okiech, has openly criticized the recent suspension of two national ministers by President Salva Kiir Mayardit, saying Kiir's action was wrong and politically motivated.
Minister of Cabinet Affairs, Deng Alor Kuol, and minister of Finance and Economic Planning, Kosti Manibe Ngai were suspended last month for alleged corruption over request and transfer of nearly $8 million to an account abroad without authorization from relevant higher institutions.
Kiir, also the chairman of the SPLM, lifted the immunity of the two ministers who are also senior party officials in politburo and formed an investigation committee to dig out the truth of the matter, promising to prosecute them if they are found guilty of stealing the money.
However in a press conference he conducted in Juba on Friday, Amum said Kiir's action left the real culprit untouched and instead landed on the wrong victim, referring to Kosti Manibe.
"The Minister who approved the transferred amount is different, how can you withdraw the immunity of Kosti and leave the person who decided and signed the transfers? I agree with Kosti that the issue was political," Amum said, almost confirming speculations that the current acting minister of finance and economic planning, Marial Awou, was the true culprit.
He decried victimization of people seen to be political adversaries while leaving the real culprits, indicating the wrong way the leadership has been trying to fight the rampant corruption which eats up the country.
Kiir last year wrote a letter to 75 former and current senior officials of his government, asking them to account for the disputed figure of $4 billion lost in the system.
This could be his first time to seriously investigate and/or prosecute a senior official for corruption after the failed attempt to arrest the first minister of finance, Arthur Akwen Chol, in 2007.
The top administrator of the ruling party, Amum, warned that such politically motivated actions may general mistrust and tribal tensions in the two-year old nation.
He is the first senior party official to publicly react to the suspension of the two ministers who are seen to have been opposed to Kiir's bid for a third term in office either in party or government.
The party SG is also among the senior party officials who want to contest against the incumbent who has been the party chairman since 2005, criticizing him of failure to lead the nation-state building.
Vice-president, Riek Machar, who is also the ruling party's deputy chairman and late John Garang's widow, Rebecca Nyandeng de Mabior, who is a presidential advisor, declared their opposition to Kiir's bid for another term.
Machar commended Kiir for implementing the 2005 peace deal, conducting the referendum and declaring independence of South Sudan, saying this would be a good legacy for him. He announced his intention to succeed him in the party chairmanship this year and in the 2015 presidential elections in order to rigorously address the challenges of nation building.
The speaker of the national parliament, James Wani Igga, reportedly said he would only contest if Kiir abandons the chair. Analysts however say Igga has no considerable support even within his home state of Central Equatoria where he is being challenged internally and this could well explain his current lukewarm position.
The party was supposed to pass its basic documents such as the constitution, manifesto, internal regulations and code of conduct before any leadership elections but the processes have mysteriously come to a standstill.
The spokesman of the SPLM, Yien Matthew, in a Sunday debate on the Juba-based UN-sponsored Miraya radio involving panellists from different political parties and activists, admitted that there have been unfortunate attempts by the leadership to avoid the conduct of the national liberation council meeting and the convening of the national convention where the basic documents could be passed and new leadership elected.
There have been widespread speculations that president Kiir has been thinking of either removing Amum from the party position or giving the office of the president the power to organize such events due to mistrust he has upon Amum.
However, the party chairman would have difficulty removing Amum by a unilateral order since he was elected by the national liberation council and not an appointee of the chairman.
Similar speculations also suggest that if Kiir continues to bend on resisting the internal democratic transformational processes to change his leadership he may also decide to remove the current vice-president Riek Machar by a presidential decree.
The current transitional constitution however also requires 2/3 majority yes-vote of the national parliament in order for the president to remove the vice-president, making it yet difficult to go through.
Also concerns arise that any unilateral action against Machar by Kiir would be unconvincing to many of the former's supporters and can cause resistance and tensions.
Analysts suggest that Kiir has no many other healthy options to look at in the situation of such mounting embarrassing internal criticisms and opposition by his most senior officials and closest aides in government and party.
"In real politics he would rather call for an emergency national convention of the party to elect a new leadership or step down from the government and allow for fresh elections in order to save his legacy," said an anonymous analyst, who also expressed fears that Kiir's continuous act of lending a deaf ear to the unfolding situation may groom tensions and even violence.
The spokesman of the ruling SPLM, Yien Matthews, has admitted failure of the leadership of the SPLM-led government, citing corruption as the most challenging disease.
Matthews, who expressed the party's official view during a Sunday debate on the status-quo with representatives of other South Sudanese political parties and civil society activists, blamed the failure on the top leadership in government, saying they had detached themselves from the party.
He said it was true that the party had lost "vision and direction" as confirmed by the reports from the ten states.
He said the SPLM as a party was doing well but its leadership in government was responsible for the failures such as lack of services delivery to the people.
The party spokesman did not however explain how the same leadership personalities in the two institutions could perform well in formulating the party policies while at the same time failing to implement the same party policies in government.
The party SG Amum recently came under fierce criticisms for failure to implement the party policies to the grassroots level.
Amum has been in charge of administration and all the party states secretariats and directly reports to the chairman.
Then, the question is: who is next in line? Of course, the weak target are next in line, but the King of the Jungle.
I like Kiir's madness because this marks the end of his leadership. The prophesies of Ngundeng are coming true. Kiir will be mad and you will hear him removing people one after another before he is gone. Something is melting in his incompetent brain. And his future is in limbo now.
The millions of stolen monies are not carried in suitcases from one bank to another; the money is wired from one bank to another; therefore there is a wired transfer trails of where the money went and under whose names. The people here cannot be easily bamboozled!
hardball or weakball, u are out of ur sense. Kiir can apiont sone today & 2morrow remove u if u don't gave Bahr el gazal money. Kiir remove Deng Alor because of money & his daughter issue. Who doesn't know the fact.
For those advocating for Riek, you first have to look at Riek records before thinking of him taking SPLM chairmanship. Any way non of current leaders have what its takes to be good leader.they are all bunches of greed, corrupt,jungle minded like bashir, unscientific minded and above careless about the lives of ss.people.
Yep.Mi Diit,incompetent Salvatore is nasty camp is collapsing n falling apart day by day,minute by minute which is political healthy for his rivalries n nationalist of South Sudan who call for democratic transformation in the country. I heard that Kiir want to remove SPLM Secretary General Pagan Amum,SPLA General Chief of Staff James Hoth Mai n lastly the Vice President Dr.Riek Machar Teny.
In the current early autumn series, Phillip Lim also gives simple and full of modern contemporary design, creating a leisurely itchy possessed people to see my heart straight texture features hermes replica handbags section.
Kiir and Riek might have failed to govern and delivered service South Sudanese, but Amum too, is somebody sitting on huge share of failures for not being able to engage SPLM party members. he did not kept us connected with views of our party. we were and are indeed, the lost sheep wandering in the wilderness. Yien Mathew is the only clean man in this mess.
"...... said, an anonymous analyse." This statement as make ST lost its credibility. How can you tell whether s/he is an analyse?!
Yea,SPLM top official are accepting their party failure after long last, but is well known to every citizen in this nation. SPLM is only planning for looting public money for their individual interests rather than planning for nation building. Therefore, let us not waste our votes for SPLM candidate in 2015 coz they are all in one truck. Shame!!!on S P L M.
What if this coward Slava reject Converntion and elections altogether? The ball is now seems to be in Dr. Riek's Court and his disciples (Nyandeng, Pagan, Deng Alor... ), either to declare "Kac-lora," or let this coward Slava loot the revenues of the country.
Here is a time SPLM will be out of map,she is playing now like care no fuel,,,,,what are you doing SPLM?
Phoooo Pagan is one of the 75 thieves and he is trying to preempt the President.He stole billions of dollars and bribed judges when he was sued.
Wow! the relatives of former minister of finance are now talking. Are you among those soldiers who stormed the prison to free the minister. You have served the minister and you r eating now the loots (nyesi ta tojo ta a gbugbuki=eat till your stomachs bloats up). but remember the minister will be prosecuted some day.
George bol why are trying to fueling this situation, plse let kiir try to remove the following guys Hoth Mai PAgan Amum and the vp Dr Riak kiir will kiss feaces in Exile believe or not and Machar now gaining more popularity over chief kiiiir.
Deng Alor and other who are being fire for political motivation must form there own party and we will support them in anyway for them to come to power. This government been lead by blind, enough is enough. who are we waiting to be fire by this dumb president.
Amum was one of the 75 people because 50 billion South Sudanese Pounds have disappeared in the SPLM/A account during election and he burned down his office with the document together now he blaming Kiir about failing and corruptions government he want to show people that he is better person to be President no we are warning you guys and we will step in soon to show you really democracy.
Talking of political motivation, SG Pagan Amum has burning agenda. Why not wait for result of ongoing investigation?
Coming to the Former Minister of Finance and his Deputy Amum is also lying does he think that we are very stupid like him even some one who have not study law can judge the case because the Minister can authorized his Deputy to act according to his orders not Deputy Minister who can give his Minister orders to act under his orders just tell President not the World I disqualify you to be a leader.
Now is our time to laught at Dinka's Kirr fighting his seat not corruption, he's feeling with hot on his seat, better for you to start killing youself with alcohol, how can Dinka's uneducated person just finish senior 2 class to be President of the country, no shame at all with Dinka's, they don't admit their failer for anything, Kirr lost vision and direction same with Dinka's looters.
what ngundeng said are now coming remember all of them nothing to be left behind.
Shame to you General for depending theft, that mean 60 millions that you were accuse off were in wrong track of your account. please correct your self before you think of leading because you run the party and blame some one else for failure while you the one falling the party. who ever think or dream of taking President Kiir , please remember that you have turn Southsudan into Somalia Country.
I do not think the entire citizens of South Sudan who voted for Separation can be coined or convinced by your failure to take South Sudanese to a bright future. Kiir, Riek, Wani and Pagan, all of you have failed or collapsed and hence beyond rehabilitation. Ur struggling for wealth and power cannot divide the people. Let Marial Awou also be arrested with Koriom- Bank Governor.
Dear Citizens, there is bad political strategies of the SPLM cliques. Each one is pretending to be holly and want to stick or cling himself to the next branch of political housing in the forthcoming 2015 and beyond. Pagan was saved by Kiir when he was accused Akuien and Nhial. I do not believe wether the court ruling was indeed free and fair without intimidation!!!!
I want to advice SPLM senior Politicians not to take the country upon themselves. None of the current wealthy politicians of the SPLM did fire/shoot directly to the enemy/army during the years of fighting. It was we whom they are now exploiting who did. And we must survive these exploitation as we survived from the bullets of enemies. God will continue to save us.
"He said the SPLM as a party was doing well but its leadership in government was responsible for the failures such as lack of services delivery to the people".
and if the leadership is not performing well then this does not be blame to the party as well? who can check executive members of the party if they are not doing what the party expected from them, is not the party leadership? so please people know who failing the and who is not.
Pagan Amum is the most corrupt officials in the ruling party. He is responsible for the disappearance of $30 million USD and additional 3 million referendum money in 2010 the scandal that end Dr Lual Achek's political career until today. He is barking out before President Kiir arrived at his door for related charges similar to Deng and Manibe. He own many factories, where does he get money from?
I'm calling upon the President to removed Pagan from his position because his working against Kiir while he himself is lacking of support from his own Shilluk kingdom. He is a man without grassroots support let him go. General Kiir Strongman for change.
President Salva Kiir.have been working with thiefs,cheaters and greedy pple Like Pagan for instance and Riek.there4 Pagan is the most corrupter and stupid guy who destroyed the party cheating the president of working hard. he must be sake by all means available.we don,t want him at all.
Hey,SPLM party leaders be cool&calm some of you will be like the president of Egypt Mohammed Almorsi,you cannot manager the country if Kiir step down,leadership is not easy,if not careful,you gonna lost the vision,that will mark the end of the party,the son of Nuba.
Pagan are u trying to show to blind nation that u are clean-skin when come to corrupts people are u not on top of the list or u know very well that when these people are trial then it remain u? even if u want persuade them they will not vote u in. Are u not aware that they blind nation is somehow opened their eyes against u guy who dubbed saboteur of this government STOP U ARE KNOWN NOW.
We know now that the president is looking for soft landing with his defected SPLM plane. However, there will be no soft landing anywhere; infact, the president is heading straight to the seen of the crash where, Riek Machar, Pagan Amum, Deng Alor ang Kosti Manibe Ngai, who will be the examinants and the last people to see the president. Moreover, when two thieves are quarrelling; however, the loot will be recovered. So, let them fight among themselves, because, it will be good for the people of South Sudan to figure out where their money went.
what agreat liar you are the one who brought these promblems the down fall of party and corruption belong to you.
That is interesting if the SPLM gurus just realize from the report from 10 states that party has lose support and direction. What are you still waiting, leave and go. You are the worse leaders South Sudan has at the moment. Kiir you better act or Go down with the group. you cannot compromise tomorrow because of today, for tomorrow will sureley come.
8 July 2013 16:14, by American Missile.
I thought our SG should not criticized the party leadership while is a part of all these blame.
clean your house before you criticized somebody's house dirty.
The recent comment of HE Pagan Amum, the General Secretary of the Sudan people's Liberation Movement (SPLM) point to disarray in the Leadership of the SPLM.


I now have 2 clients where their ACT database via ACT Mobile hangs doing a search.
Both customers have a large number of user defined fields. Tested with ACTDemo database and both work OK.
Is there a maximum field count ACT Mobile will work with? Is there any other other problem with mobile that could cause this. One client will not pay Swiftpage for the licences untill this is resolved as that is why they upgraded.
Many thanks for this advice - will try it and let you know.
Fixed first database which is great. Second one is slightly different as it just says no matches found to any search. Checked knowlegebase and tried them all.

During the 1960s Tilson became one of the leading figures associated with the British Pop Art movement. Making use of his previous experience as a carpenter and joiner, Tilson produced wooden reliefs and constructions as well as prints and paintings. As a student at the RCA Tilson associated with Frank Auerbach, Leon Kossoff, R. B. Kitaj, Peter Blake, Allen Jones, Patrick Caulfield and David Hockney. His first one-man show was held at the Marlborough Gallery, London in 1962. In 1977 he joined the Waddington Galleries and also exhibited at the Alan Cristea Gallery and the Giò Marconi Galleries in Milan. Tilson's work gained an international reputation when shown at the XXXII Venice Biennale in 1964, which led to a retrospective at the Boyman's Museum, Rotterdam in 1964. Further retrospective exhibitions followed at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 1979 and the Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol in 1984. Growing disillusionment with the consumer society led to a change in Tilson work in the 1970s.

This body of work was called Alchera. Tilson's work has been exhibited regularly in solo shows throughout the world: Cortona Centro Culturale Fontanella Borghese, Rome (1990), Plymouth City Museum (1991), Palazzo Pubblico, Siena (1995), Mestna Gallery, Ljubljana (1996) and Galleria Comunale d'Arte, Cesena (2000).

'We are international, we are everywhere': women unite in global strike
International Women's Day 2017 set to be one of the most political yet, with women in more than 50 countries downing tools
Follow International Women's Day around the globe in our live blog

Women in more than 50 countries will go on strike from paid and unpaid labour on Wednesday while millions more will be taking part in direct action on what is set to be one of the most political International Women's Days in history.
From Thailand to Poland, the United States to Australia, the first International Women's Strike will see action on both the industrial and domestic fronts, with participants keen to show solidarity with an energised global women's movement.
International Women's Day: protests, activism and a strike – live
"We are united, we are international – and we are everywhere," said Klementyna Suchanow, a Poland-based organiser of the International Women's Strike, adding that the walkout would put governments and institutions under pressure by giving women a voice that has long been ignored. "We are an army of women across the globe and we are no longer asking to be listened to. The world is being forced to listen to us."
The theme for 2017's International Women's Day – which celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women – is #BeBoldForChange.
Organisers of the International Women's Strike have joined forces with coordinators of the Women's March and hundreds of human rights and women's campaigners to capitalise on momentum in the movement in the wake of Donald Trump's election. Up to 2 million people around the world marched for equality in January the day after his inauguration.
The Women's March – which now has organisers across 200 cities in 80 countries – has called on supporters not to engage in paid or unpaid labour and only spend money in small and female-owned businesses.
Wear red, down tools and buy local for International Women's Day
Recognising that the poor financial situation and rigid work laws mean many will not be able to take part in a physical strike, organisers are urging supporters to wear red, a colour historically associated with the labour movement, in solidarity.
In other countries women will wear black, or different colours, while the focus on issues from femicide to abortion will be decided in each nation.
The International Women's Strike, meanwhile, is suggesting that women "boycott local misogynists", stop shopping, go on a sex strike, block roads and streets, and take part in marches or pickets. Women are also encouraged to leave creative and impassioned "out of office" replies, talking about why they are striking.
The strike is partly inspired by the women of Iceland, where in 1975 25,000 women gathered on the streets of Reykjavik and 90% of the female population did not go to work, cook, clean or take care of children. Last year thousands of female employees across Iceland walked out of workplaces at 2.38pm to protest against earning less than men.

In the US, where the feminist movement has been galvanised by the election of a president who has bragged of grabbing women "by the pussy", organisers are expecting small demonstrations across the country, with some major gatherings of strikers expected in Chicago and Washington DC.
"We have the sense that people will spontaneously make a call for demonstrations in their town," said Tithi Bhattacharya, an associate professor at Purdue University and one of the march's organisers. "I think the most exciting thing about 8 March is the way it's being interpreted in diverse ways by different groups."
In some parts of the US the impact of the strike is already evident. In two districts of North Carolina and Virginia, so many teachers announced plans to miss work on Wednesday that school closures were announced. In the district of Alexandria, 300 staff requested the day off.
Sex bans, strength and solidarity: women's strikes through the ages
The day of action comes amid a recognition among campaigners that mass, headline-grabbing actions are the key to furthering the cause of women's rights around the world.
"If we only fight our own battles – if that is abortion in Poland, or femicide in South America – we are only fighting one finger of the giant," said Suchanow. "And we need to be taking down the giant, not the finger."
Suchanow joined in the mass women's strike in Poland last October, in which up to 100,000 women dressed in black took to the streets to protest against a near-total ban on abortion. Following the march, Poland's parliament overwhelmingly rejected the ban drafted by the ruling Law and Justice party.

On Wednesday in Britain the "one day without a woman" mobilisation will urge women to refrain from labour. In London, there will be a protest outside the family court in Holborn at 9.45am, followed by a "speak out" outside parliament, said Nina Lopez, a coordinator for the International Women's Strike.
In Argentina many women will strike. Last year there was a national protest after a week of extreme violence against women including the violent rape and murder of 16-year-old Lucía Pérez in Mar Del Plata.
International Women's Day: how can you support the global strike?
In Peru women are demanding an end to "violence against women in all its forms: physical, sexual, emotional and economic", and marching in 10 regions, said Jill Ruiz. "This is a historical action in our country and worldwide. Solidarity is our weapon."
In Brazil, where actions are planned in more than 70 cities, organiser Mariana Bastos said the focus would be on femicide.
Actions will range from a total strike at home and in the workplace to an hour's strike at lunch, where people will gather with their colleagues to discuss equality issues. Supporters are being asked to wear violet in solidarity. "We are a huge country and it is a very complex picture, but each city and each woman will decide how they take part," said Bastos.
In Kenya, women's groups joined with government officials from the Nairobi county department of gender and health to mark the day on Tuesday – holding a procession and forum with speeches and testimonials, as well as offering free HIV testing and free cervical cancer screening at the event, said Ritah Mutheu Muia, founder of the women's group Her Voice.

"Following the theme of this year I felt women in Kenya are now boldly standing up for their rights, that more men are joining us in this journey for equality and equity - they are taking a stand and being bold for women," she said. "Women have taken the reins and are the ones spearheading change in society."
The day's origins go back to a mass mobilisation in 1908, when 15,000 women marched through New York City demanding the right to vote, better pay and shorter working hours. The first official National Women's Day march, led by the Socialist Party of America, took place a year later on 28 February.
International Women's Day moved to 8 March in 1913, and was recognised by the United Nations – which now decrees an annual theme – in 1975.


What is Big Data and what does it do to how we do business? Ask the people doing it. That's what Matt Turck, of FirstMark Capital, did at the 28th Data Driven Meetup, which he organizes. He gave four Big Data stars the mike – two entrepreneurs, a data scientist and a VC who used to be an entrepreneur. Robbie Allen of Automated Insights, and Joe Hellerstein, of Trifacta, were the entrepreneurs; Rachel Schutt, of Newscorp, was the data scientist, and Chris Lynch, of Atlas Venture, was the VC.
So what are these companies doing?
Delivering automated narrative reports of quantifiable data in real time that are designed for individual user groups.
Enabling users to easily transform raw, complex data into clean and structured formats for analysis so that analysts can have direct access to Big Data and both analysts and data scientists can be significantly more productive in delivering business decisions.
Building a corporate data culture led by a cross-functional team headed by the CTO that combines data science, IT and product management in order to help journalists tell stories and develop a sustainable content/publishing/media company business model.
Using lessons learned from running a Big Data pioneer to help new Big Data companies understand the importance of simple messaging that dummies can understand, ease of use, security and designing the business to connect directly to user value in order to optimize monetization, even using someone else's Big Data platform to achieve this.
His theme: Let Your Data Tell Its Story. His company has developed a patented platform, called Wordsmith, that writes insightful, personalized reports from client data – reports comparable to an expert talking in plain English to each user. Its cloud software turns raw data into compelling content customized for specific users and groups of users. It delivers automated insights as narrative content at scale, in real time, on any device.
Visualizations require mental gymnastics to translate. They also suffer from the baseline effect – small changes are imperceptible, which renders most dashboards useless. But pictures don't tell stories. Words tell stories. Data density can obscure meaning. A single word can sometimes do the job best.
Media companies are the target customers for the Wordsmith platform, which creates reports from quantifiable data.
The data can come from anywhere – external databases, real-time data, proprietary data, and historical data.
The platform creates algorithms that create facts and lists of facts.
It then describes those facts as narrative.
Yahoo fantasy football grades users on their drafts – using any tone desired, including snarky.
Wordsmith Marketing can generate fully automated personalized websites and performance reports that replace Google Analytics.
Newscorp owns multiple major news media. The parent company has begun leveraging all its companies instead of acting as a holding company in order to create new business models based on their content.
Data is at the heart of its future.
Schutt, who has a PhD in statistics, reports to the CTO. Her two peers are people who head the platform and the product. The goal is to build a data culture, investing in people rather than tools. They build cross-functional teams, and everyone codes.
Examples of data science in action: churn models. Propensity analysis. User behavior modeling.
The plan is to make data-based decisions to help journalists tell a story and to make sound business decisions that can build a longer term sustainable media business model.
Vertica was the first new database in 3 years. Chris, previously a sales and marketing business entrepreneur, was CEO. The engineers couldn't communicate except to data scientists. He had to simplify the message so it scaled. Vertica was a real-time analytics database that was faster than others and delivered actionable insights in time to make decisions It was sold to HP for several hundred million dollars. But Zynga was sold for billions. Zynga was an analytics company that masqueraded as a gaming company. It used Vertica's real-time database to analyze user behavior and target sales of virtual products. Vertica was disintermediated. You need to be close to the customer for monetization – to connect directly to customer value.
Chris has been a VC for two years. His thesis is that big data can be transformational if democratized so that it talks to dummies, not the 1 percent. Scale, security and simplicity are issues. Individuals will own their own digital footprints. Simplicity means ease of use so the magic is behind the curtain and users have an intuitive interface.
Think about monetizing someone else's platform. Disintermediate those guys. Leverage the apps an platforms you can put under a problem. What's the problem you're solving? Moving up the stack creates more value for the customer.
What he looks for in a company is people with courage, character and conviction – people with a soul. You need people to build stuff.
The venture model is broken. Too much money in the market (Lazy VCs). Too few good ideas. Chris takes pride in being a company builder.
Trifacta has developed a platform designed to "transform the way the world works with data." It is designed to make it easy for analysts to have direct access to Big Data and to increase productivity for both analysts and data scientists. They asked analysts what they did and how long it took and found that 80 percent of the work on data is cleaning data. So, Trifacta takes raw logs and transforms them for immediate analysis. Joe demonstrated this, transforming a typical log of restaurant violations in minutes into a straightforward list of where not to eat in San Francisco!
