The alternative calculation of the temperature on the saturated-liquid line using the IAPWS-IF97 saturation-temperature equation Tsat97(p101(h1′(s),s)) or Tsat97(p3a(h3a′(s),s)) leads to worse numerical consistency.
The alternative calculation of the temperature on the saturated-vapor line using the saturation-temperature equation Tsat97(p201(h2ab″(s),s)), Tsat97(p201(h2c3b″(s),s)) or Tsat97(p3b(h2c3b″(s),s)) of IAPWS-IF97 leads to worse numerical consistency.
The calculation of the vapor fraction from the saturated-liquid entropy s′ and the saturated-vapor entropy s″ leads to worse numerical consistency.
When steam power cycles are modeled, thermodynamic properties as functions of enthalpy and entropy are required in the critical and supercritical regions (region 3 of IAPWS-IF97). With IAPWS-IF97, these calculations require cumbersome two-dimensional iteration of temperature T and specific volume v from specific enthalpy h and specific entropy s. While these calculations are not frequently required, the computing time can be significant. Therefore, the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) adopted backward equations for p(h,s) in region 3. For calculating properties as a function of h and s in the part of the two-phase region that is important for steam-turbine calculations, a backward equation Tsat(h,s) is provided. In order to avoid time-consuming iteration in determining the region for given values of h and s, equations for the region boundaries were developed. The numerical consistency of the equations documented here is sufficient for most applications in heat-cycle, boiler, and steam-turbine calculations.

My only excuse is that a.) i'm a girl and b.) i didn't know what to wear (story of any girls life!) So to prevent the disastrous anxiety and "i hate how i look!"/ "i have nothing to wear" I start planning my outfit as soon as possible. What was that? You're throwing a party in 3 weeks? I'm instantly thinking of outfit options.
So without further adieu, here are my current options...which may or may not change.
just call me ms. indecisive.
P.S. do you spy my snake bangle and jaguar ring? LOVE!
oh, and just for fun, check out Rachel Zoe's HQ (via coveteur)...Ummmm yes, Rachel, I die.
hahaha I love that Rachel Zoe's show room is your desktop pic.
Outfit one is my FAVORITE!! Have fun.
I loooove #4! I am a sucker for leopard print!
I like #1 and #3 - initially I thought #2 but have a bit of fun and go with something short! Regardless of what you wear, you'll look amazing.
I love the blue dress! Adorable.
Outfit 1 with the snake bangle and gold watch - gorgeous!

Jada Pinkett Smith Wanted 'The Most Horrific' Death in 'Scream 2′
Ian Gavan, Getty Images for Universal Pictures
In the late '90s, to get murdered in a Scream movie was the highest of honors in the film biz, especially if you were the first kill. Jada Pinkett Smith had that opportunity in 1997's Scream 2, as Drew Barrymore's first kill successor. The actress recently recounted the experience during an episode of PeopleTV's Couch Surfing, emphasizing the importance of having a gruesomely epic death scene.
"I remember saying to the director at the time, 'I want to die the most horrific death that has ever happened in a horror film,'" she recalls. "'I want it to be long and excruciating.'"
The director, who happened to be the king of macabre Wes Craven, happily obliged. Pinkett Smith's character perished while attending a screening of Stab (the meta film-within-a-film about a serial killer picking off co-eds) during the film's opening scene.
Watch the full clip below.
Last month, the Girls Trip actress penned a poignant open letter honoring the late Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade and revealing her struggles with mental illness.
"One thing I've learned in my life over the years is that mental health is something we should practice daily, not just when issues arise," she wrote. "We should take care of our mind and spirit in the same way we do our body. With the suicides of Kate and Anthony it brought up feelings of when I was in such despair and had considered the same demise...often. In the years I spent towards my healing, many moons ago, I realized the mind and heart can be extremely delicate without the foundation of a formidable spirit. What I eat, what I watch on TV, what music I listen to, how I care for my body, my spiritual practice, what people I surround myself with, the amount of stress I allow and so on... either contribute to or deteriorate my mental health."

PIA adding 7 more flights to Jeddah for Umrah season
ISLAMABAD - Starting from next week, national flag carrier Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) will add seven more flights for Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, bringing the total to 42 per week, an official said.
PIA recently added two weekly flights from the southern city of Quetta to Jeddah in addition to new flights from Multan. The last added routes to Saudi Arabia were from Sialkot city in January this year with one flight to Jeddah, two to Riyadh and one to Dammam every week.
The PIA currently flies four destinations a week from Pakistan to Jeddah, Dammam, Madinah and Riyadh.
The increase in flight frequency to Saudi Arabia comes ahead of the Umrah season which PIA is seeking to capitalize.
"In the coming months, the quantum of traffic will definitely increase due to Umrah" Mashood Tajwar, PIA's general manager and an official spokesman said in an interview with Arab News.
Asked if PIA will maintain the additional routes to Saudi Arabia, Tajwar said "it depends on the market dynamics" adding that "Umrah season continues for a good eight to nine months".
"Normally, Umrah alone is above one million passengers excluding routine visitors," he said.
According to the Saudi Hajj Ministry, the largest number of Umrah pilgrims this year were from Pakistan (1,353,625) followed by Indonesia (881,459).

Liquidity management is a very important tool for a commercial bank (CB) in meeting its reserve requirements, customer withdrawals, and loan demand. In a well developed money market the CB has many options or meeting these liquidity needs including: Treasuty Bills, CDs, commercial paper, eurodollars, and interbank loans. The paper offers an explanation why these problems may arise due to problems in CBs attempting to manage their liquidity in and underdeveloped money market where only T-Bills and an interbank market are present.

Philip Morris International Granted Right to Challenge EU's Tobacco Products Directive Before the Court of Justice of the European Union
LAUSANNE, Switzerland - Tuesday, November 4th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Subsidiaries of Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) (NYSE/Euronext Paris: PM) today obtained a green light from an English Court to challenge the EU's Tobacco Products Directive (2014/40/EU) before the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). Key questions regarding the Directive's validity will be referred to the CJEU as ordered by Mr. Justice Turner during a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice.
Commenting on the decision, Marc Firestone, Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Philip Morris International, said:
"This marks an important first step for our challenge of the EU's Tobacco Products Directive. We believe the Directive disrupts the balance that the EU treaties establish between the Union and the Member States, and we are looking forward to a thorough, objective review by the EU's highest court.
"There is no disagreement that tobacco products should be strictly regulated, but measures must honor the EU treaties. The Directive purports to improve the internal tobacco market, yet instead includes a mix of product bans, mandates, and delegations of authority that raise serious questions under the EU Treaties about consumer choice, the free movement of goods, and competition."
PMI requested the reference to the CJEU when it filed its case on June 27, 2014. The company is seeking a review of whether the Directive complies with the EU Treaties in the following areas:
Legal Competence: The EU's power to adopt the Directive under the EU Treaties is limited to measures that improve the internal market in tobacco products. While the Directive claims to serve that objective, it demonstrably lacks any real internal market rationale. For example, the Directive claims to be harmonizing differences in Member State laws by forcing Member States to ban menthol, even though menthol is legal in all 28 Member States. Meanwhile, it actively encourages disharmonization by inviting Member States to adopt a patchwork of other measures such as "plain packaging" even though they obstruct the free movement of goods and violate EU law. Provisions such as these ignore clear precedent from the CJEU establishing the limits of the EU's authority under the Treaties, and create obvious incentives for illegal trade.
Fundamental Rights: The Directive appears to ban truthful and non-misleading claims on the packaging of tobacco products. PMI intends to seek review of whether this ban respects the fundamental rights of consumers to information about the products they are choosing.
Delegated Acts: The Directive delegates a number of powers to the Commission to enact rules on essential aspects of the Directive. PMI intends to seek review of whether these delegations of power comply with the EU Treaties.
The CJEU is expected to issue a judgment within two years.
Philip Morris International Inc.
Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) is the leading international tobacco company, with seven of the world's top 15 international brands, including Marlboro, the number one cigarette brand worldwide. PMI's products are sold in more than 180 markets. In 2013, the company held an estimated 15.7% share of the total international cigarette market outside of the U.S., or 28.3% excluding the People's Republic of China and the U.S. For more information, see www.pmi.com.

Mayor's Notice April 24
Mayors COVID 19 updates |
Village Folks:
So, Village residents appear to have COVID-19 protocol down. We've sort of settled into a new routine.
Village government has been holding virtual meetings to keep providing essential services. If you have a question, please contact us at 534-4200 or [email protected] for Village business. Visit our website (www.cornwall-on-hudson.org) for information on the Village.
A number of local events have been postponed or canceled due to the virus. The vehicle parade, planned by Cornwall-on-Hudson Elementary School that had been tentatively scheduled for today, has been postponed. The American Legion will conduct a brief ceremony on Memorial Day but no parade. I'm sorry to report that RiverFest has been canceled.
Governor Cuomo has not said anything new about when our schools will open. And the pause button is still on until Friday, May 15.
While life has come to a standstill in many ways, lots of activities are taking place virtually. People are setting up gatherings, taking classes and touring all over the world. You can get some ideas by joining Things to Do in the Hudson Valley on Facebook. Please continue to support our local businesses by ordering take-out food when you can.
In addition to our health professionals and first responders, let's be grateful to clergy and therapists who help us deal with anxiety and saying farewell to loved ones.
I thank you for your patience in complying with safety protocol. Let's continue to help each other get through this challenging time.
Stay healthy!

On Tuesday April 21st thru Friday April 24th the South bound lane will be milled and paved. There will be NO PARKING on that side during working hours (7:30am until 5:00pm) as they will be milling and paving from curb to center line. They will be posting NO PARKING SIGNS.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation.
David Halvorsen
Superintendent of Public Works
The Village is handling COVID-19 well. We are fortunate to have caring residents and dedicated employees. Contact us at 534-4200 or [email protected] for Village business.
My thanks to Storm King Fire Engine Company for helping the Easter Bunny tour the Village on Easter Sunday - for making us smile and lifting our spirits. The teachers and staff at Cornwall-on-Hudson Elementary are tentatively planning to have a car parade throughout the Village at 2:30 Friday, April 24.
In case you haven't heard, St. Thomas and the Cornwall Presbyterian Church in the Village, and other churches in the Town of Cornwall, are holding services online.
Following the installation of the new gas lines, repairs to Hudson Street will begin Monday, April 20. Be aware of changes in traffic patterns and parking.
We still don't know when the Village election, originally scheduled for March 18, will be held. As I mentioned last week, the annual re-organization meeting, which generally occurs the first Monday in April, must take place after the election. Until then the Village is holding over all current officials, both elected and appointed.
The Village Board will hold its monthly Business Meeting at 7 p.m. Monday, April 20, a virtual meeting, as it did its March 23 meeting. The public may watch and speak during public hearing and public comment segments. Directions on how to participate will be available through the Village's Facebook page and website (www.cornwall-on-hudson.org). I ask that if you do wish to speak, please be brief and understand the unusual format. And remember, you can always call or email me.
Of course, health professionals and first responders are always on our minds in times like this and we thank them for their sacrifices. Let's also be grateful to our farmers, farmworkers and food preparers.
As you have probably heard, Governor Cuomo has issued an executive order that we must wear masks in public when are unable to maintain the distance of six feet. And he has extended the pause button until Friday, May 15.
So, let's keep on keeping on. Let's remember our families, friends and neighbors and lend a hand, or an ear, during these tough times.
Dear Village Folks:
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation as the Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson deals with COVID-19.
Village Hall Office doors will remain closed through Friday, May 1. Village employees are continuing to provide essential services and conduct village business, onsite and remotely. Please contact us at 534-4200 or [email protected] for questions regarding Village business. You may visit our website at www.cornwall-on-hudson.org.
The spring bulk cleanup will begin the week of Monday, May 18. The Village election has been delayed until June; we will be getting further guidance on the election next week. The annual re-organization meeting will take place after the election; the village is holding over all current officers, including trustees and appointed officials, until then.
Lots of people are enjoying Donahue Memorial Park at Cornwall Landing. Others are hiking Storm King Mountain. The Esty & Hellie Stowell Trailhead for Storm King Mountain is located where Hudson Avenue becomes Bayview Avenue (Route 218). There's plenty of parking.
More to do: Cornwall Public Library now subscribes to Hoopla, a video streaming service that provides access to hundreds of thousands of digital Items for free with a Cornwall Library card. The Arts Mid-Hudson website offers many virtual events, exhibits and resources.
We are grateful to our health professionals and first responders. Let's also remember to thank our truckers, news reporters and radio DJs.
Police Chief Steve Dixon has been distributing flyers reminding people to keep distancing. And the Centers for Disease Control is now recommending wearing masks when we go out. As always, let's deposit trash in their proper receptacles.
Cornwall-on-Hudson is a vibrant community. Let's keep it so by being in touch with our families, friends and neighbors during this challenging time.

Argument of type '{ selector: string; template: any; styles: any[]; directives: (typeof PropertyBindingComponent | ...' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Component'.
  Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'directives' does not exist in type 'Component'.

What should I do?!?!

A: directives was removed from component.
See the following: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39410642/5487673
The solution to the problem is simply to remove the directives attribute from your component. So long as the components listed under your directives attribute are declared at the NgModule level then you should be right.

A: I encountered that case and solved.
As directives, you don't need to import and plug them to specific component.
You could use them like this.
First, import them on the app.module.ts.
Second, add imported directive into declarations.
Then they would be working.

Betfred mobile casino have released one blackjack and four new Playtech slots for mobile phones & tablets. We do a quick review of each and which are worth playing.
Playtech have decided that they are going to go into Spring with a host of new exciting releases to clear the cobwebs of winter.
Why play the same old cold mobile slots and games, when you can try something totally hot and different?
And different you certainly get here. There's a mobile blackjack table with a real twist, and slot machines that will appeal to all levels of players.
We look into each carefully and decide which are worth your while.
All have been recently added to Betfred casino, where you get a 100% up to £$€200 bonus to help you play for that little bit longer.
We begin with what we think is the most exiting one of the lot.
Bet you thought we'd go straight for the new Playtech casino slots right? WRONG! Because for once we are given a Blackjack table that's more than your classic Vegas rules.
There's a twist to this tale, and it provides blackjack casino players with a little variety on mobile. Something that is seriously lacking in all the other casino software providers.
Play in CAD, AUD, EU, GBP, ZAR and more.
You play with two hands, where you can decide to swap the two top cards to maximise perfect combinations.
You can do a 'Super Match Bet' where you can get more than just you 1:1 win on blackjack. You're betting that over your four cards you'll get a 3 of a kind (pays 5:1), 2 pairs (8:1), 4 of a kind (40:1). If this is too 'far out' for you, you can simply not bet or use it.
We loved the format. Not only does it allow us to play a little more strategically with our blackjack cards, but there was the potential for huge wins with the super match bet option.
It does make the table a little more expensive than most other Blackjack mobile games (min bet is 1 chip, but once you bet both hands and the super bet, it's more like 3), but worth it.
This truly is a very pretty slot machine, with regal blues bringing out the beautiful pride of white cats in a gorgeous mountain setting.
But then, we always expect Playtech slots to be stunning.
What makes White Lion appealing is that it's probably the easiest to play and simplest of the lot.
It's about low to mid variance in the volatility scale, so beginners to slots should easily enjoy it without it killing your budget quickly. Especially as the betting range varies from 0.40 to 16 in real money cash spins.
The crowning glory here is the white male lion which is wild and comes stacked. The game logo is the scatter and when it shows up on reels 2, 3 and 4 gets you five free spins.
Not much perhaps, but the stacked wilds are far more plentiful, and whilst you might not make a killing to retire on, you can still have some roaring entertaining wins.
We start going up the variance scale here.
With 9 paylines and some OK wins in the base game, you'll have to start watching your budget to make it through till the free spins.
And it's not the wild dragon or the scatter painted lady that will catch your eye (though both are high paying symbols), it's the Samurai man who, when he appears on reels 1 and 5, triggers the mini-game.
Fancy playing bingo, lottery, live casino or bet on sports? Betfred is for you.
Hit ninjas to collect free spins and multipliers. Hitting a magic ninja will automatically hit 3 extra ninjas awarding their prizes. Hitting an evil ninja that doesn't explode will start your free spins.
You can, sometimes, get some decent multipliers, but it's probably the weakest of the new slots releases.
The minimum bet it 0.09, going up to only 9 in cash.
And what's very interesting about this 20 paylines, 5 reels Playtech slot is that it has what's called the XtraWin function.
You can only activate it if you have all paylines active of course, but then we'd never recommend anything else anyway.
It does raise the minimum bet from 0.20 to 0.30, and the max bet from 40 to 60. So bear that in mind.
Which, when you get 3 pyramids, you'll get to choose from three symbols. It's basically a pretty way of making you think you have a choice in a random pre-determined choice.
Best Casino Games at Betfred?
You'll get anything from 15 to 100 free spins. We usually hit 24 to 30 free spins, but even getting the 50 or 75 free spins would be truly thrilling.
The good news is that the wild expands as standard, and comes with a 2x multiplier. Imagine that on 100 free spins.
Be careful though, Pharaoh's secret slot starts to go up the variance scale, sitting in the medium-high bracket, and will easily eat your budget in a few spins if you're not careful.
And last but not least, an unpronounceable slot machine that will either have you running towards it… or as far away as possible.
It's actually a ridiculously simple game. It has 9 paylines and 5 reels and all the symbols you've come to expect from an asian theme.
Literally meaning 'let riches and treasures come into the house'. It's used in Chinese to wish good fortune in business by invoking the god of wealth.
Though all you really need to know (cultural points aside) is that this Playtech slot pays both ways and has a wild symbol that appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4. And that's pretty much it.
Oh and the wild also replaces the scatters. And thats… yeap… that's really it.
Simple yes, but don't misunderstand simplicity for idiocy. Zhao Cai Jin Bao knows exactly what it's doing.
Namely providing you with the largest wins of all the slots on this new release.
And that without taking into account the 2x multiplier on the wild, which makes a five of a kind win into a fireworks frenzy of joy.
You'll have to be a little brave to play it though.
But you know what they say. Fortune favours the bold.

'Ayushman Bharat': How It Benefits A large Segment Of Society?
Ayushman Bharat,
Ayushman Bharat –Pradhan Mantri Jan Aarogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Ranchi, Jharkhand on Sunday. It is an effort to provide accessible and affordable health care to the common man.
Under the vision of AB-PMJAY, each and every citizen receives his due share of health care. This is the "world's largest government-funded healthcare program" targeting more than 50 crore beneficiaries.
It is a paradigm shift from a sectorial, segmented and fragmented approach of service delivery through various national and State schemes to a bigger, more comprehensive and better converged and need-based service delivery of secondary and tertiary care.
Benefits Of Scheme
# Ayushman Bharat will provide a cover of up to Rs.5 lakhs per family per year, for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization.
# Over 10.74 crore vulnerable entitled families e. approximately 50 crore beneficiaries, will be eligible for these benefits.
# This scheme will provide cashless and paperless access to services for the beneficiary at the point of service.
# Entitled families will be able to use the quality health services they need without facing financial hardships.
After fully implemented, PMJAY may become the world's largest fully government-financed health protection scheme.
Features Of The Scheme
Ayushman Bharat adopts a continuum of care approach, comprising of two inter-related components: Creation of 1,50,000 Health and Wellness Centres which will bring health care closer to the homes of the people. These centers will provide Comprehensive Primary Health Care, covering both maternal and child health services and non-communicable diseases, including free essential drugs and diagnostic services.
The second component is the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana which provides health protection cover to poor and vulnerable families for secondary and tertiary care.
The Health and Wellness Centres will play a critical role in creating awareness about PMJAY, screening for non-communicable diseases, follow-up of hospitalization cases among others.
PMJAY primarily targets the poor, deprived rural families and identified an occupational category of urban workers' families as per the latest Socio-Economic Caste Census data for both rural and urban areas as well as the active families under the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana.
The services will include 1350 procedures covering pre and post hospitalization, diagnostics, medicines etc.
The Yojana beneficiaries will be able to move across borders and access services across the country through the provider network seamlessly.
Pradhan Mantri Aarogya Mitra
The scheme is creating a cadre of certified frontline health service professionals called Pradhan Mantri Aarogya Mitras (PMAMs) who will be a primary point of facilitation for the beneficiaries to avail treatment at the hospital and thus, act as a support system to streamline health service delivery.
A MoU was signed between National Health Agency and Ministry of Skills Development & Entrepreneurship on 27th August this year in New Delhi.
Aarogya Mitra's training is being conducted in collaboration with National Skill Development Corporation and Ministry of Skill Development to strengthen implementation and operational preparedness.
Training has already been conducted in across 20 states and around 3519 Aarogya Mitras have been trained so far. Training programs for State, District and PMAMs have been conducted in 27 states.
A total of around 3936 personnel have been trained at state, district and PMAM levels.
Focused workshops have been organized to train the state level officials in operating the developed IT systems.
Robust measures are being put in place in the IT platform to ensure the privacy and security of the data.

Are you missing the fact that you need solid infrastructure to spur new pedestrian oriented development? You're living in the PAST and in the NOW. You have to plan for growth and density for the FUTURE. My goodness, you can't be this pessimistic. That is honestly the issue with how this city has dealt with growth. It's that mentality of "Oh well nobody is going to use it." that has stalled progress. Idc if you worked on Post Oak for the past 30 years. If you give people an option to walk, THEY WILL DO IT! If you need any proof of this then look at damn near every other city in the entire world. You can stay stuck in your car for all I care.
Vy, would you consider the Galleria a "major draw"?

Idc if you worked on Post Oak for the past 30 years. If you give people an option to walk, THEY WILL DO IT! If you need any proof of this then look at damn near every other city in the entire world.
Again, we're talking past each other. I'm not suggesting infrastructure is not important. What I am suggesting is that putting a bus and some trees is not going to magically inspire people to take a strole on "the boulevard," considering it's filled with the likes of Gallery Furniture and Luby's.
People already walk up and down Post Oak everyday. Can you point me to any evidence that suggests putting in some more sidewalk or a bus line will spur urban development here or is some kind of missing link between the status quo and said urban development? What specifically do you anticipate being developed/built as a result of this project?
Connecting the two transit centers, as discussed before.
Allowing people to go to the Galleria via those transit centers easily, where before it would have been more difficult.
Encouraging visitors to the Galleria to venture up and down Post Oak, where before they'd have to spend time finding a parking spot and driving in traffic. It makes the whole strip an extension of the Galleria, more so than it is now.
Also, during rush hour these buses will almost certainly be substantially faster than driving, and there people who live along this corridor. Even if they don't walk except from the station to their destination, it will be a tempting alternative to sitting in traffic. Or at least, it would be for me.
I'm impressed by METRo/TxDOT's hard work in connecting the galleria to more parking lots via bus.
The intersection of POB and San Felipe is less than a mile from the mall. Is that half mile distance currently discouraging urban development? Can people not walk to CPK or the Verizon store currently?
The "boulevard" already is an extension of the Galleria and yet there's none of the development being claimed in this thread. It's specious to think a bus and some trees will transform the strip malls and Starbucks into something else.
I think that it is very safe to assume that the lives of the remaining strip malls, fronting POB was very limited already. The BRT will certainly expedite the transition.
Is it? I wonder where your optimism comes from?
It comes from an overall trend in development not just in this city but across the country. I mean it's pretty obvious. The fact you minimize the impact of "sidewalks and trees lining a boulevard" says enough. Those very specific features is what draws developers to build with no setbacks. They look at it as an opportunity for not just motorists but those walking and taking transit as an opportunity to better their business. Again I don't know what else to say but look at other cities.
I discount trees and sidewalks because this is Houston, not the rest of the country.
This is a suburban, sun belt city. That is it's DNA. That I've been told one of the advantages to the bus is easier parking underscrores that fact.
What evidence specific to Houston that supports your that sidewalk and trees will spearhead urban renewal? Why isn't Apache building its new HQ?
Vy, my optimism comes from what I have witnessed in this city and in this general area in the city. Look at the area just East of the West Loop, between San Filipe and Westheimer. Within just a few years, it has transitioned from low density apartment communities, to high rise, high density towers and up scale high density shopping/Mixed use areas. All of these come along with off-street parking structures. Also, look at BLVD Place right on the BRT line...more Density, with multi level commercial/retail buildings and high rise apartment buildings, with more garage parking. Low density retail, is giving way to more high-rise residential structures, at San Filipe. Those large parking lots, just will no longer make sense...they probably don't now. With more people along the street and on the sidewalks, retailers and other commercial enterprises, will find it to their advantage to have their front doors where the people are and put the cars in the back/under or over. There are also more hotels proposed for 'the boulevard'. Next, imagine a high speed rail station adjacent to the NW transit center and terminus for the BRT Line. Sure Hit!
Appreciate the response. And, I agree that there has been development on the east side of 610, and it's a welcome sign.
That said, I don't see how you can extrapolate that development to POB. For starters, they're divided by 610. I don't see people walking from the ROD under the highway, through some commercial office buildings, just to take a bus to go to a mall. If the BRT system included a stop at the ROD, I'd be able to muster some enthusiasm for it.
The Galleria has been a major draw for decades. Yet those shopping plazas have remained. You still have large, empty parcels along POB, San Felipe, and on the interior. The market hasn't moved to prod development in those places - and suggesting that trees + sidewalk is the lacking catalyst doesn't pass the straight-face test. Will the area change over the course of decades? Maybe. But to suggest that anything is imminent (i.e., within the next couple years) is beyond optimistic in my book.
That's fine, walkability is a major component. Yeah the lack of solid infrastructure is the failing component. You continue to ignore the small details that make a city great and more desirable to pedestrians, transit riders, and motorists. The market hasn't moved because those areas haven't maximized their potential for development. In other words, if the city encourages sprawling growth, then developers will follow because the end game is making money. However if you direct and guide development, then you change that mindset. Idk why that's so difficult to understand. My point isn't sidewalks and trees, it's guided infrastructure for strong development/redevelopment. AGAIN look at other cities.
If the city encourages sprawling growth, then developers will follow because the end game is making money. However if you direct and guide development, then you change that mindset.
100% agree with this. The problem is that there's no zoning here. There aren't restrictions in when/how developers develop land. That is far more for accomplishing an urban/pedestrian environment than a bus and some trees. Again, look at other cities (Austin would be a great example).
AND Vy ignores the extent to which the market has already moved... BLVD Place for example. Also, The shopping center across POB from BLVD Place seriously considered a more dense redevelopment several years ago, but decided the time wasn't quite right. They made it clear that such a redevelopment is likely to happen in the future.
"Vy, my optimism comes from what I have witnessed in this city and in this general area in the city. Look at the area just East of the West Loop, between San Filipe and Westheimer. Within just a few years, it has transitioned from low density apartment communities ..."
That's what I was responding to.
Austin is a sprawling city other than their downtown.
You kinda missed the point. Would you consider Austin a city with a high amount of regulations on real estate development?
No just not enough incentive yet. Which AGAIN is my point. I'll bet that development picks up on those lots once the BRT is finished.
So bus + sidewalk is the missing link to development of those pieces of land?
Others suggested that the market had already moved on the area.
Pick a lane: either the area is moving (so why several empty tracts) or its not (but will be once we get some more sidewalk put in).
No it's actually pretty loose. Austin is sprawling more than ever. It's downtown is growing denser but that's just the overall product of people moving to the city and developers taking advantage of it. That's a city WITH zoning. Again zoning has nothing to do with just having good infrastructure. You don't need to be zoned to accept that concept. Zoning also fails in some areas to create strong urbanism.
This is getting to be besides the point, but would Austin have the highly dense downtown it enjoys without zoning?
It is moving. I made that clear. Developers aren't going to budge on something that won't make them money. Is that so hard to understand? If the city doesn't provide a strong incentive then why should a developer build just to build? Empty lots have nothing to do with this.
Didn't answer my question: are the bus + trees the only thing keeping the strip plazas and empty lots from being (re)developed?
You and I have very different takes on what constitutes a "strong incentive"
True, the suburban sprawl from downtown to Tomball clearly shows a strong desire to live in/near the city of Houston.
Then you tell me what you think a strong incentive is??? For Houston, not anywhere else. The only thing you've done is argued every point and you haven't provided anything. Other than the fact you worked on Post Oak for 2 years.
The example of the development East of 610, is proof about how real estate in the area is becoming more dense, not as a reason for the BRT line. Certainly, POB and ROD and surrounding areas, are poorly linked and isolated from one another. It's a Comp.
BLVD place is attached to many of the vacant lots that you are referencing. I would suggest that this is the best example of how the area is already densifying. The Very Large building, where Whole Foods is, one large apartment tower developed by Hanover, a second being built, another sister building similar to the Whole Foods Building will be on its way soon. Pretty remarkable density and redevelopment. What was here before? Strip mall.
Why isn't Apache building its new HQ?
Seriously? I am not sure I know what you mean by the example. Have you been paying attention to what has happened to their business in the last few years? Building a new building just doesn't make sense. But, they have held on to the property, i believe. They see its advantages.
This project is another step in support of the long term vision of creating a dense pedestrian-friendly environment.
Contrary to the dishonest suggestion above, no one has said it will cause imminent (within 2-3 years) redevelopment all along the boulevard. Again, it's part of a vision for the long term.
Contrary to the repeated dishonest attempts to diminish the project by referring to it as "buses and trees", the project consists of more than that: wider sidewalks, more shade, better lighting, better landscaping and art. And as everyone here surely knows, the buses are not just standard buses.
Eaxctly! Why is this person diminishing this project? It really screams an old Houston mentality.
I don't think you can say that the presence of multiple empty lots - that have been empty for years - is a sign of a densification. I only know of the one tower being built by Hanover (to the extent that you're suggesting that there are two being built). As for other's "on the way," I'll believe it when I see it because a lot of what I see out there is empty land.
As for Apache, their Alpine play is poised to be highly lucrative. That, along with the rise/recovery of oil makes the renewal of their POC lease (as opposed to starting their building) kinda prove my point.
Because adding trees and a bus doesn't do much of anything. I would love to see this city become more urban and dense, but expanding a sidewalk isn't going to do it. A lot more drastic alternatives - which likely aren't feasible - are needed. So I'm sorry to burst your bubble on a pretty pathetic project.
So you want Houston to become more urban and dense but you want to diminish the small efforts it takes to become that. Real smarty guy... NEXT!
Read more. Type less. Hanover is currently building their second tower, as Naviguesor said. The first one is right next door. Are you in Chicago by any chance?
Maybe you can elaborate what was dishonest about my suggestion when the conversation was about how much the area has changed in "just a few years?"
You can take the long look all you like. In 3 decades, I'm sure the area will have developed. That's besides the point. Claiming some *really fancy* buses will trigger development in the area is laughable. It's great everyone is so excited about an otherwise marginal project, but don't act like market movement is hinging on some trees being planted.
As I said earlier, read more. Type less. Naviguessor did not say two were being built.
You would be wise to take your own advice. I didn't know commenting on some buses would ruffle these many feathers.
I respect your opinion and energy against this project, but Apache renewing their lease and deciding to not commit to a 300m+ project, does not prove your point. The wider sidewalks and trees will encourage developers to incorporate GFR or more of a 'Street Presence' in their projects that front Post Oak Boulevard. I've certainly utilized it a lot more to walk to BLVD Place or Uptown Park for lunch, now that these sections of sidewalks are opening up. As a current office employee and former resident of the area, it definitely has my approval.
V as in Vik, right? The troll formally known as Slick Vik strikes again.
Did you ever go out for lunch, or did you always bring it with you when you worked at 2POC?
If I worked there I'd probably always bring my lunch, driving around that area at lunch is as painful as pulling teeth.
But, maybe if you could walk to a station, hop on a reliably timed BRT bus and get to the food court in the galleria in a timely fashion, your lunch universe expands a bit.
But hey, you're probably right. worthless.
Imagine all those people living up and down this boulevard in those tall condos I'm sure you saw while you were looking at Post Oak. You honestly can't see them hopping on a BRT to get to whole foods to grab dinner and a bottle of wine for the night?
no, I'm sure of it, you're right. it's worthless, all that's really going to happen is that people are going to drive in from the suburbs trying to get to gallery furniture and be frustrated by the trees.
without a hint of sarcasm, I can honestly say that the biggest problem with this BRT is eventually going to be parking. in that people are going to drive in from the burbs, park their car at uptown park where they will grab lunch and a starbucks, then hop on the BRT to go wandering in the galleria, only to return to an empty space because their car was towed.
Jim McIngvale fought this and is probably still pissed about it. He knows his rent is going to go up in a few years specifically because of this update to the street and he won't be able to afford to have his showroom of uninspired, expensive, overstuffed leather at the corner of PO and Westheimer. Honestly, every time I am in the area and drive by that oversized strip center at the corner of PO and Westheimer, I wonder how long that place (and others like it in the area) can hold on before it is ripped out for a higher purpose.
I walked to and got something from WF literally 90% of the time I worked there. Shockingly, the quarter mile or so didn't kill me and I didn't need the assistance of a bus. But apparently all those people living in all those high rises are unable to walk a half mile or so, so giving them a glorified trolley will be totally necessary.
Wouldn't Uptown TIRZ using the millions of dollars it spent on some trees better be used as subsidies to developers who'd demolish/develop the strip malls and empty fields?

Medellin's short-term, furnished rental market is one of the best-performing income markets in Latin America today. Double-digit returns are common. But it's hard to tap into it, because in 2010, the city passed a law which banned rentals of less than 30 days in most residential buildings.
This offer is a way to get in on Medellin's excellent short-term rental returns—as well as its real estate market—without the hassle or cash outlay required to buy your own property.
This property investment is offering an 8% preferred dividend, plus capital appreciation.
The project is the construction and operation of short-term rental units, taking advantage of Medellin's short-term, furnished rental market. The developer is experienced in building and managing these types of projects, and has done a few of them already.
The name of the project is Envigado Lofts.
Envigado Lofts is located in Barrio Jardines, in Envigado. While I often talk about Envigado as if it were a neighborhood of Medellin, it's actually a separate municipality, starting on the southern border of Medellin's El Poblado neighborhood.
Envigado has long been a desirable spot for expats; it's easily walkable, charming in a colonial sort of way, and has good zoning controls to preserve its low-rise character. But Envigado has traditionally lacked the drawing power of neighboring El Poblado. While appealing, it couldn't compete well with the huge array of fine-dining options, cafes, clubs, and nightlife of El Poblado, or its long-standing reputation.
But that began to change in 2011 when a group of local entrepreneurs decided to create a small, exclusive restaurant enclave among the quiet, tree-lined streets of Envigado's Barrio Jardines. Today, Barrio Jardines hosts more than 20 restaurants, with people coming from far and wide to visit its now-hip gastronomic sector.
Since that time, real estate prices have jumped in this area, and last year, the increase outperformed the highly popular El Poblado—so the early predictions of success are coming true. When I first visited the Barrio Jardines neighborhood of Envigado, I wrote a report on what I found. You can read the original Envigado essay here.
The bottom line is that Envigado is an up-and-coming area, and Barrio Jardines is leading the way.
And the Envigado Lofts project is right at the center of it, looking out over the exclusive restaurant enclave.
The reason for developing Envigado Lofts is rooted in Medellin's lucrative furnished short-term rental market. After the hotel lobby succeeded in passing the law I mentioned above, this market evaporated. More than 75% of the inventory disappeared, while demand continued to be strong. Follow the link to see my full report on short-term rentals in Medellin.
But then an innovative entrepreneur—Rich Holman and his development team at First American Realty Medellin—piloted the idea of using investor funding to buy select buildings, refurbish them into modern apartment units, and offer them into the short-term market.
That first project, Poblado Suites, was a success. The investors are now earning high dividends, occupancies are higher than forecasted, and the commercial value of the building has more-than doubled. Unsurprisingly, First American hit rewind and did several more of these projects, the latest of which is Envigado Lofts.
Do You Really Want To Partner With These Guys?
I like having this developer—First American—for a partner because I think they can keep the occupancies high.
First of all, First American—and their affiliate, The Apartment Medellin—are also the rental agents for this property. And at this time, they handle more than 50% of the Medellin's furnished rental market for foreign visitors. So I'm sure Envigado Lofts will get plenty of referrals and good promotional efforts like their other projects do.
Also, as the developer, First American gets to keep any extra income after paying the investors. So they're highly incentivized to keep the building full.
Finally, they've done this before. And it's worked out quite well for the investors in their earlier projects.
As an investor, you will be a shareholder in the Colombian company Jardines Lofts of Envigado SAS. Your pro-rata ownership will be a function of the total amount of pesos that you have invested.
Once the project is online, your investment will return a pretax annual preferred dividend of 8%, paid quarterly.
The overall total returns, long term, are projected to be 18%, when combining these dividends with the projected capital appreciation of the asset.
The profit realized from any liquidation would be split equally between the investors and the developers after the investors have recouped their original capital.
The minimum investment is US$50,000.
Construction completion is scheduled for the second quarter of 2015, after which the units will be immediately put on the short-term market.
Investors in Envigado Lofts will be entitled to discounts when staying on the property, which vary between 10% and 50%, depending on how far in advance you book (late bookings earn higher discounts).
The dollar is strong right now against the Colombian peso. So your US$50,000 investment will buy you more shares of the company than at just a short time ago. Over the past eight years, the peso has performed strongly against the U.S. dollar.
But remember, currencies are a double-edged sword, and impossible to predict. Currency trends can change, despite any logic you think you've applied.
This investment, however, has a built-in hedge because it's earning local income in the local currency. For more on that issue, see my recent essay on currency considerations when buying abroad.
The rental income generated will increase over time, along with the value of the building itself.
This investment provides a currency diversification from your other dollar-based investments.
The investors and developer are getting the building at a good price, in an area that's now one of the fastest-trending markets in the Medellin metro area.
Finally, you will be eligible for a Colombian visa after making the investment.
No one should enter into an investment like this without having an exit strategy, ideally with more than one option.
The exit here could take one of two forms: either the entire project can be sold, or an individual investor could sell their shares.
At the project level, the project could be sold to a Colombian brokerage firm's real estate investment trust or real estate mutual fund after three to five years. The developers already have qualified interest from three securities firms—I'm a client of one of them, and know the other two by reputation.
The entire project could also be offered to a large investor looking for established cash flow.
Per the existing agreement, any investor can sell their shares at any time. Your co-investors have the first right of refusal if you decide to sell. Then First American has second right of refusal.
Thereafter, you can sell it to anyone you like. If you want, First American will promote your share to its subscriber base (in excess of 15,000 subscribers). In this case, you would pay a sales commission at the time of closing.
Obviously it will be easier to sell your shares when the project is finished and operating.
If you're interested in an investor package or have further questions, please contact the developer directly. You can contact Rich Holman here.
I would not recommend buying beachfront property, because there are too many potential problems with owning beachfront property. Maintenance is one. You need to maintain the water line, sand, salt spray, corrosion, storms, on so forth.
I often get negative comments from people who have no idea what they're talking about. But in this case, I'll bet Sherwood has owned a beachfront property. And that's because the image of a beachfront property is always flawless until you own one.
We loved the house, and I'd certainly have a seafront house again. But now I realize that it comes with some extra maintenance items that I didn't have to worry about just three blocks inland.
My wife is Argentine, and she and I are moving to Argentina. We are interested in owning another property in either Uruguay or Brazil that we could use part-time, which will hopefully generate some rental income when we are not there.
Uruguay has the advantage of being just across the river from Buenos Aires, but we both like Brazil very much. Do you have any suggestions or points you think we should consider?
Ordinarily, I'd say that you buy in the place you'd love to be, and let the practicalities sort themselves out. But in this case, there are other strong considerations.
When I lived in Punta del Este, Uruguay, we had a beach house in Brazil and an apartment in Montevideo. We'd visit the Brazil house for months at a time but could only go once per year. The Montevideo apartment is something we could enjoy every other weekend. So the proximity of your second home will have a lot to do with the enjoyment you get out of it.
But on the other hand, it might be nice to have a place to escape the Argentine winters…and Uruguay won't do that. If a winter home is what you're after, Brazil is the place to be.
And one additional advantage is that northeast Brazil is nice during the Argentine winter but it's actually Brazil's offseason. So in the opposite season, while you're back home enjoying the Argentine summer, you could be renting your Brazil house out during its high season.
My primary real estate contact and rental agent in Montevideo is Bettina Stratta. For Punta del Este and beyond into the Uruguayan department of Rocha, it's Alberto Prandi ( http://www.albertoprandi.com ). In Brazil (on the island if Itamaracá), my agent and manager was Peter Zorab.

'Brian Banks' Film Echoes Demand for Justice
Tariqah Shakir-Muhammad
The story of Brian Banks falls into the pit of many falsely accused and convicted Black men who have spent half and/or nearly their entire lives fighting crimes they never committed. The film, directed by Tom Shadyac, tells the story of a high school football star Brian Banks (played by Aldis Hodge) who aspired to play in the NFL. In 2002, however, he was falsely convicted of raping a former classmate.
The movie begins with Brian Banks watching a group of young boys play football, and he recalls what it means to be "free". At 17, Banks faced the impossible decision of either fighting the rape charge and spending 41 years to life in prison; or taking a plea deal and spend over five years in prison confinement. Due to the details of the plea not being thoroughly explained, he chose the latter.
In 2011, Troy Davis was executed by the State of Georgia for allegedly murdering a police officer despite substantial evidence that proved him to be innocent. Jabbar Collins spent 16 years of his life in prison for allegedly killing an Orthodox rabbi despite there being inconsistencies in witnesses' testimonies and prosecutorial misconduct.
From Marvin Anderson, Scott Lewis, Leroy Harris to as far back as Emmett Till and further, Black men in America have been wrongfully convicted for decades.
"To be a black person in America is to be seven times more likely to be wrongfully convicted of murder and three times more likely to be wrongly convicted of sexual assault as compared to white people," says the Innocence Project, founded in 1992 and since has exonerated the wrongfully convicted and/or incarcerated. In the 2019 film, Justin Brooks (played by Greg Kinnear) who is director and co-founder of the project in California was featured as one of the key links to proving Banks' innocence.
With help from Brooks and members of the Innocence Project, Banks fights tooth and nail for a retiral to prove his innocence, all while reiterating the need for so-called minority groups (Black, Brown and poor) to develop their own system.
He used a powerful phrase after presenting in one scene irrefutable, groundbreaking evidence against the charges: footage of the alleged victim admitting Banks is innocent. However, he was still being denied a retrial.
"F-ck the system," he said to Brooks.
The so-called minority of America could continue to be victimized into the pit of the wrongfully accused and/or convicted; or they could follow Banks' example and create a system of freedom, justice and equality.
Afterall, we trialed the judicial system and it failed us. What better time for justice than now?

Mommy Look! I Found Some Dog Poop During Our Nature Walk!
I don't know what it is about this winter, but I've been sick all the time. The other day it was pretty nice out and I really wanted to take the kids on an adventure walk. I started to get their coats on but then I coughed and hacked away for about five minutes and decided that walking in the wind probably wasn't the best idea for me.
We'd been for a nature walk the other day and the kids even made some neat nature gifts with salt dough. We had so much fun that I decided to re-create it in our backyard. We started looking at the trees and the birds. I gave them each a little baggie and told them to gather up their FAVORITE thing from the outdoors. If you are looking for a way to keep kids busy, I highly recommend this activity. Of course Little Buddy went for the sticks and Munchkin Girl tried to find all the flowers.
They did this for at least 30 minutes. I was really patting myself on the back at this point. The birds were chirping, I was sitting on the patio sipping some tea for my poor sore throat and the kids were happily gathering items from the backyard and chatting. I even heard Munchkin say, "Here Little Buddy, I found a good stick for you."
Then they brought their bags over for me to inspect. They were both so proud. I was telling them what a good job they'd done and then I gasped. Little Buddy dumped his baggie out for me. Take a close look...does that all look like sticks to you? I thought so too...until I looked closer. Yep, there are several great pieces of dog poop mixed in with those sticks. Little Buddy had been out in the yard industriously picking up dog poop along with his sticks. And that's why I guess I won't win Mother of the Year!
You've got my vote :).
lmao -- eh, that chore needed to be done anyway, right? Good job, Little Buddy!
Too funny! I could totally see this happening with my boys!
Brilliant! Made me laugh out loud and just the sort of thing my boys would do! Delightful gift for you.
Just found your blog via a pinterest post. Just too funny! Keep up the great work.
My daughter often points out the dog poop and says, "Daddy needs to pick it up." I love that kid.

Malta Foundation
While foundations have been recognized and regulated in Malta for almost 200 years through Maltese case law and doctrinal writings, Malta enacted specific legislation to clearly define their legal framework in 2008. Today, Maltese foundations are regulated by the Second Schedule of the Civil Code (Chapter 16 of the Laws of Malta), which dedicates an entire subtitle to foundations The legislation allows for the set-up of two types of foundations: Private and Purpose Foundations, which have particular uses and benefits for certain clients.
Private Foundations:
Set up for the benefit of a named person or class of persons called beneficiaries. The foundation's patrimony is owned by the foundation itself (due to its separate legal personality) and is administered by designated persons (known as 'administrators') for the benefit of such beneficiaries.
Purpose Foundations:
Set ups that have no ascertained or ascertainable beneficiaries, but are established exclusively:
For any charitable, philanthropic or other social purpose.
As a non-profit making organization.
For any other lawful purpose (not necessarily a social purpose and can be a private purpose).
Registration of a Foundation under Maltese Law
Registration of a foundation under Maltese law serves to vest the foundation with legal personality distinct and separate from that of its founders, administrators and beneficiaries (where applicable). By virtue of its separate legal personality, a foundation is capable of holding assets for its own benefit and of incurring obligations for which it is liable with all its assets, present and future. A foundation is not, however, liable for the obligations of any other person except to the extent that it expressly agrees to be so liable.
Features of a Maltese Foundation
Means of Establishment
A Maltese foundation can only be constituted in writing, either by a public deed published by a Notary, or by a will. The foundation deed must be registered with the Office of the Registrar of Legal Persons
The assets of Maltese foundation may originate from any lawful business or activity and may consist of present or future assets of any nature.
The minimum endowment of money or property to set up a private foundation must be worth at least €1,165 (and €233 for a foundation established exclusively for a social purpose or as non-profit making, in the case of a purpose foundation).
The foundation deed must contain the following information:
The name of the foundation, which must include in it the word 'foundation'.
The registered address in Malta.
The purposes or objects of the foundations.
The constitutive assets with which the foundation is formed.
The composition of the board of administrators, and if not yet appointed, the method of their appointment.
The legal representation (a local representative is necessary, if the administrators of the foundation are non-Maltese resident).
The term for which it is established.
In the case of a private foundation, the deed of foundation must contain the names of the beneficiaries, or in the absence of such indication, a declaration that the foundation is constituted for the benefit of the beneficiaries. In the latter case, the beneficiaries must be indicated in a separate legal instrument, known as a beneficiary statement, which must be signed by the founder, addressed to the administrators and authenticated by the Notary Public who has published the foundation deed. In order to protect confidentiality, the beneficiary statement does not need to be filed; in its stead a note of reference referring only to the founder is filed with the Registrar of Legal Persons.
Once the foundation is established, the deed is published, and the foundation is registered with the Registrar for Legal Persons, a new legal person is created and the foundation itself becomes the owner of the foundation property
Except when foundations are used as collective investment vehicles, in securitization transactions or in the case of purpose foundations (which may be established for an unlimited term), foundations are valid for a maximum term of 100 years from their establishment.
The rights of the founder:
The founder may exercise supervision over administration of the foundation, obtain a copy or copies of accounts, inventory and descriptive notes of property
He/she may intervene in court proceedings concerning the appointment of administrators or the disposal of assets
Conditions for the founder:
The founder may also be an administrator
The founder may be a beneficiary during his lifetime but in this case, he/she cannot act as sole administrator of the foundation
Duties of the administrator:
The administrators (whether natural or legal persons) are responsible for maintaining possession and control of the property of the foundation, safeguarding such property and ensuring compliance with the statute of the foundation and the law
They are bound by fiduciary obligations stipulated in the Civil Code. Any fiduciary who breaches such obligations shall be bound to return any property, together with all other benefits derived by him, whether directly or indirectly, to the person to whom the duty is owed.
Conditions for the administrator:
The administrator can be based outside Malta. However, a person resident in Malta must be appointed to act as the local representative of the foundation in this case;
The administrator may be the founder; however, in such situation, the founder cannot be the sole administrator.
Supervisory Protector
The deed can provide for a supervisory council or the office of protector. They usually exercise supervision over the acts of the administrators, and may be vested with powers of appointment or removal of administrators.
Tax on Maltese Foundation Maltese Foundation are very attractive from a tax perspective. The Malta Foundation can elect to be treated in the same manner as a company that is ordinarily resident and domiciled in Malta. This results in the chargeable income accruing to and/or gains realized by a foundation to be subject to tax in Malta on a worldwide basis at the flat rate of 35%. Malta Foundation Distinctive Benefits
Have a separate legal personality
Defined in terms of the assets making up the foundation
Foundation is the legal owner of its own assets
The Valsen Advantage
Speedy, Efficient and consistent Services.
Relentless effort to obtain bank accounts.
Expert advice on structuring options.
Dedicated ongoing compliance support.


The In-Between by Jeff Goins Audiobook Download - Christian audiobooks. Try us free.
We're an "instant gratification" generation, but the trouble is, most change happens gradually.
The In-Between is a call to accept the importance that waiting plays in our lives. Can we embrace the extraordinary nature of the ordinary and enjoy the daily mundane-what lies in between the "major" moments?
That's not to say there aren't moments of epiphany. There are. It's just that most of us find ourselves living somewhere in the in-between. Learning to live in this tension, to be content in these moments of waiting, may be our greatest struggle-and our greatest opportunity to grow.
