How do you replenish Energy?
The only way to replenish Energy is through eating food that you either craft or purchase through Teng Fei.
Speed is determined for you; designed to go at the fastest pace you can manage to make it to the next camp. Clothing and certain skills can increase your maximum speed. Current energy and pack weight are a big determinant in your speed. In the top left you max speed vs weight is shown; there are speed pips that can be partially/fully covered up. The more arrows you can see: the faster you are.
Who will join my newly created town?
If a town is created via the Stagecoach, only players looking to move via the Stagecoach will join you. This means players that have just arrived at town will be in towns that are for new players. This was done so that new players have a chance to experience the town system without being dropped into a veteran town and being overwhelmed.
If I move town, what happens to my house?
Your house will move with you and be perfectly set up in your new town as it was in your old town. Occasionally, you will be forced to change profession if your current profession slots are taken up in the new town; this will result in your machine changing when you arrive in the new town.
How can I change profession?
If there is an open house slot available in your town, then you can just click on the plot and you will be given the option to move to that plot and hence profession.
Gold is a shared town currency; this means other players can spend that Gold. You earn this Gold together through the Warehouse that you all work towards filling and so everyone has the ability to spend it. Coordinating and communicating with your fellow town members is key for getting the most out of this game.
What can I do if a player is being rude?
Contact Customer support with your town name and their player name.
Is there a faster way to move items on screen without dragging all the time?
You can double click items on The Trail to instantly drop them into your pack and also double click to put items onto crafting grids/the Trading time conveyor belt. Try double click when you want to use and item and it will perform the appropriate action based on where you are in the game.
When will the trader take things from my warehouse?
Once all 5 boxes in the Warehouse are filled, then the trader will arrive within a minute; give Gold and Chits, clear the warehouse and give you some new boxes to fill.
Why are things are missing from my shelves/machines?
Shelving is a sharing platform, you can put things on there for players to take (and indeed leave things on other people's shelving for them to take). If you want your own storage; use a Private chest from the furniture catalogue. Machines are similar and open for everyone in town (as everyone needs things from each others machines); you can fill someones machine and then take the product for yourself or just stock it for them out of the goodness of your heart or take the products that your neighbour has done all the work in creating! You can have neutral, good and bad neighbours, which will you be?
What happens when I collapse?
You will drop a lot of items in your pack and will be sent to the previous camp where Teng Fei will offer you some food for Chits to help you through the next section. If you're low on Chits, maybe Teng Fei be a bit more generous! Your dropped items will be waiting for you on The Trail for a certain time. View the map to see them.
How often can a mayor change?
Once a day there will be an examination to see if anyone has a more impressive house than the current mayor, and this can cause a change in leadership.
No, you will need to manually move save files between PCs.
There is no real reason to feeding the bird, other than it being good to share and it makes the bird happy!
How do I upgrade my bag size?
You can exchange Favours for larger bags at Teng Fei's shops that are scattered across the campsites along The Trail.
Why do I lose the items people don't buy during trade?
You don't lose items during trades, you actually sell them! Even if another player does not purchase that item, when your item reaches the end of the conveyor you will receive Chits (although you will receive more if another player purchases it). If you wish to keep your item to try and sell it for a higher price with another player then you can remove it from the conveyor before the end at no cost and then take it to the next campsite. It is up to you to decide if you prefer guaranteed Chits now, or the chance for more later on!
Can I go back to collect supplies I missed?
This depends on a two factors; your stamina and the other players that pass you. When you pass out you are able to get up immediately in exchange for Favours or you have to wait until your stamina has recovered. If you choose to wait then your stamina will slowly recover but items will gradually fall out of your bag, and people who pass you can take them. Your clothing and the items in your pockets will not be taken, so you can protect your valuables!
Yes, you can; when pressing Koko the bird, there is a button to cancel your current quest so that when you arrive at the next campsite Beatrice will give you the opportunity to choose a new quest.
What benefits do I get from buying a plot of land in a town?
Houses and towns are a huge part of The Trail! When you buy a plot you will automatically build a house and join a town. You can then work together as a town to unlock civic buildings which do a variety of things such as; allowing you to chat with your fellow settlers in your town, better access to large quantities of wood in the Logging Field, and many other features. Houses also give you a profession and you can make money by selling items you make using your house machine. You can spend Chits on furniture for your home that will allow you to store rare items and clothing in your house, and they can also give you buffs; such as increasing Chits receive for items you sell. You can fast travel between your town and your last visited site on The Trail.
How do I upgrade my property in town?
You have item requirements needed to upgrade your house, and once you have collected all these items you can place the items in the upgrade box and pull the upgrade lever in the house. These upgrade items are often from the machines of various professions across the town and so you need to visit other player's houses and use their machines as well as your own and even work with other settlers to upgrade your house.
Can I change my profession in town?
You cannot change profession once you have chosen one, however there is no real advantage in one profession over another one. You can use other people's machines (the large object in houses that convert specific trail items into more useful items) in their houses in order to help yourself and others in your town. There are a set and equal number of each profession in a town.
Can I transfer my save data to a new device?
Yes, you can access this option in the Settings Menu, which can be found by accessing the menu in the bottom right, and selecting the "I" button for info.
How to chat with other players?
When you are a part of a town you can work with your fellow town settlers to unlock a building called the Saloon. Once the Saloon is unlocked you are able to talk to the other people in your town at all times on The Trail and in town.
Where do I get specific items I need for my quests?
You receive items all across The Trail. The map will tell you where certain items are more prevalent and you can then travel there using the map and collect the items you want!
How do I create my own Abodes?
Use sculpting to clear a level area of land until it's large enough for a plot to appear.
Tap on an abode or settlement in close proximity to spawn a follower (applicable buildings have a small follower icon above them).
The follower will automatically navigate to the plot and begin building the relevant abode.

This bar shows a top (Happy) to bottom (Miserable) scale of both you and the Astari's happiness. Each hour (on PC) or 24 hours (on Mobile) the Astari will hold a festival at their settlement and whichever civilization's happiness is higher will win over an amount of the others followers to their side.
The follower mood of both civilizations can be affected through a range of god powers which will be indicated by the small face icon next to each option in the 'Powers' menu.
You can also improve your own followers happiness through gifts (Mobile Only) or rescuing lost followers and leashing them home to an abode.
How do I rotate the Camera on Mobile?
To rotate the camera on mobile, place two fingers on the screen and move in a circular motion.
It's worth noting that rotating the camera will not be a permanent change of perspective. This is to get a new angle on your sculpting work or for a screenshot. It will rotate back to the standard position the next time you interact with the world.

How do I build Treasure Temples?
Throughout certain points of the game you may come across colourful rocks.
Sculpt the land around the colourful rocks.
After sculpting you should see a grey sculpture (Treasure Temple) buried within the land.
Remove all the surrounding land covering the Treasure Temple.
Leash your Followers to the Treasure Temple to start construction.
After the Temple construction has been completed, a card will appear. Tap on the card to collect a reward.
We've noticed that some users are have a little trouble building Treasure Temples – When leashing Followers to the Treasure Temple they won't start construction. This is often due to a tiny piece of land found within the Treasure Temple. Try rotating the camera to a different position and try sculpting the land again.
If in doubt…Meteor the Temple!
Stormy Weather and Blue Skies cards have incorrect descriptions! Why is this?
Stormy Weather and Blue Skies are currently displaying the incorrect details.
Our team are fully aware of this and we'll be correcting these details in a future update.
Once we have more news about this we'll be updating this FAQ.
Leashing doesn't seem to work for more than one group of Followers! Is there a fix?
If the user leashes a second set of Followers to the same location as a previously leashed first set, then the first set of Followers can have their Leash cancelled without the user's input.
Once we have any additional news about the fix, we'll update this FAQ.
Story chests are appearing in Weyworld! Should this happen?
There is a small chance the a storm generate a story chest within Weyworld. Although the story hasn't been implemented to Weyworld just yet. Clicking on these chests will open up the Journal to a empty page.
We're currently reviewing this bug and we'll be sharing some additional news within the near future.
Why can't I do anymore Voyage missions?
Voyage Missions have been temporarily disabled and we're currently look at new, fun and interesting ways to implement new voyages missions into Godus.
Once we have any additional news we'll be updating this FAQ.
f you've linked your Godus account to Facebook you may notice some ghost beacons have started appearing around your world.
These unusable Beacons with a little green orb above them show how far your Facebook friends have progressed through Godus!
Some users have reported that Godus will become stuck on the Authorisation screen.
This could potentially be down to the user changing details on Facebook such as email address or login password.
If you're stuck on this screen, please try deleting and re-downloading Godus, after this you'll be able to log back into your account, please make sure that you recover save your save as well, otherwise you'll be starting a new game.
Each gem chest within Godus has a unique ID and once collected this ID is added to your account. Once collected you won't be able to receive gems from this ID again.
As chest ID's linked to your account they are carried over to new games as well. This has been causing some confusion with users who have been trying to collect them and not receiving any gems.
Losing your save to corruption or a bug is never fun and we take this very seriously.
If your save has been reset in any way, please email godus@22cans.com and one of our dedicated support team members will help you to recover your save.
Some users on Android devices have reported that Godus takes longer to load up after Update 6.
Since then we've release another patch that has fixed this issues, please visit your Google Play Store to ensure that Godus is currently running on the latest version.
If the user converts some of the Astari Followers to their own, (this is done by having a higher happiness rating than them when the Astari Festival ends) the newly converted Astari will often not make it to be added to the user's Settlement as they'll get stuck on their way.
We're looking into this bug and will update the Support questions when a fix has been achieved!
If the user has a very large number of Followers, the AI can be seen to work a little slower than normal. Sometimes the Followers will come out of their Abodes up to ten seconds after being instructed to do so – sometimes not at all – and at other times, the game will simply crash.
This issues is currently being looked at and once we have any additional information we will update this FAQ.
This issue is now in our bug database and we're hoping to address and implement a fix within a future update. Once we have any addtional information we'll update this FAQ.
When using Rain of Purity, the cursor's location (apparent when you go to click the 'X' to end the God power) is at the centre of the cloud, rather than at the power's target location.
However, when using Finger of God, the cursor's location is quite a bit below the graphical representation of the finger, at the target of the power.
The result of this is that when the user tries to hit the 'X' to cancel the God power, it can be quite jarring, as the cursor is inconsistently-placed relative to the graphical representation of the power.
Once we have any additional information for this bug we will update this FAQ.
If the user collects a Story chest, and then either restarts the application, or moves to a different world and returns (Events, Leashing Tutorial, etc), they will lose any previous Story text that they have previously collected.
We're currently looking into this issue and once we have any additional information, we will update this FAQ.

Babyland, "Live Execution"
Posted by alex | Jan 22, 2013 | Reviews | 0
Live Execution
It's rough being a Babyland fan who never got to see them live. Moreso than anything else, the "electronic junk punk" that made the band so beloved was defined by playing shows, especially their legendary concerts at Los Angeles' The Smell, Berkeley's 924 Gilman Street, and various other California venues more noted for hardcore shows than electronic music. That reversal isn't a coincidence; Babyland's primary strength lay in bringing the energy of punk to synth music, their lo-fi samples, clanging live metallic percussion and impassioned vocals obliterating the barricades that segregate genre by virtue of the instruments being played. Doubters need not look far for evidence to support that assertion, a quick perusal of Youtube yields any number of clips of their storied performances, complete with frenzied moshing, dancing, and singing from the crowd.
Hard to believe then that Live Execution is the first official document of Dan Gatto and Michael Smith's celebrated performances to see release, and more than three years after their dissolution to boot. Recorded just prior to the release of their sixth album Cavecraft, the frenetic and emotional set has only just surfaced in a cleaned up format, first on Mixcloud and now as a pay-what-you-want download on Bandcamp. As live recordings go it walks the line just so: there's enough grit and crowd noise to separate it from the albums we know so well, but it doesn't ever feel removed from the moment it was recorded, the energy and effort conveyed with each strike of an oil drum and Dan's increasingly hoarse and ragged voice on climactic renditions of "Gehry" and "You Will Never Have It".
Unsurprisingly considering the circumstances, the setlist leans fairly heavily on latter catalogue (fully two thirds of the songs hail from The Finger and Cavecraft) and that seems fully appropriate; late-period Babyland was all about triumphantly rising above the everyday challenges that would hold us all back, and that sense of self-reliance and commitment comes across incredibly well on Live Execution. The classics included all have the expected piss and vinegar, particularly "Youth Choker", "Mindfuck", and "Worst Case Scenario" but it's the melancholy of "Rimer Tiger Drive" and "Last Ave" that makes them feel alive and vital. My colleague Bruce is fond of saying that Babyland is music that makes you feel like you need to do something, either with yourself or for someone else, and I think that's evident on the stirring closer "Search and Rescue", the yearning for things to be better fully transferred from artist to audience in a shower of sparks and sequenced synthesizers.
Smith and Gatto made involved music, both in the sense that it draws you in but also that it was emotionally complex, not about giving easy answers but encouraging us to find solutions of our own. While this site's appreciation for Gatto's new material as Continues is well documented, ID:UD's love for Babyland runs deep, and the opportunity to revisit them in their most celebrated context is most welcome. Speaking as one of those unfortunates who never had the chance to experience them firsthand it's also somewhat bittersweet, serving to reaffirm what I've always been told about just how fucking good they were, while driving home exactly what I missed out on. Still, it's as close as I'm likely to get, and in that it has tremendous value as a historical document of one of Our Thing's truly important acts. Furthermore at a time when Los Angeles seems poised to tear apart industrial with a new wave of DIY acts, it's a look back at the band that presaged it all, that did it their own way, and that mattered, always and forever.
Buy it.

I am disappointed with Dimitri, who I have purchased products from since he was on HSN years ago. My disappointment lies with his last visit to Evine during the second week of December 2018. He (and Evine) had various products which they offered on Subscription (Auto Ship). Why would he do this if he more than likely already knew he was leaving? Was it done to entice us to buy old products they were clearing out of inventory? That is a shameful way to treat loyal customers!! Yeah sure, we'll be able to purchase using Auto Ship but just like Serious Skincare on Evine, we have to spend money to reorder and sign up again. Argh!!


Orac Decor C304 cornice moulding tastefully integrates a distinctive, bold classical ribbed pattern for use in traditional settings. Well suited for use with other Orac mouldings and millwork. Pre-primed and ready for painting or staining. Also available in a flexible format.


I await the usual excuses from the right wing terror supporters.
A group of far right fanatics have shown their hatred of free speech by making an attack on the socialist bookshop Bookmarks in London.
Around a dozen mask wearing thugs entered the bookshop on Saturday, intimidated staff and attempted to destroy books.
So what do people think about this? The pro-Assad people on this forum have been very quiet about it. It seems highly probable that Assad is behind the attack on the rebel held town of Douma. Donald Trump says there will be a "big price to pay". Do you still think that Assad is the bee's knees?
Vehicle driven at people. Driver then shot himself.
Anyone still in denial about Russian involvement in the Skripal attack?
1. Wash all your clothes. Two weeks later.
2. Any that need dry cleaning, burn them. Three weeks later.
Darren Osborne has been jailed for life, for driving a van at a group of Muslims outside Finsbury Park mosque. Makram Ali was killed in the attack, and several others were seriously injured.
I got a post on my F/B page with a video explaining how it worked. Unfortunately I couldn't get a link for it. It basically shoots a tiny pellet of ice with a shellfish toxin in to leaving no trace on the skin.
If indeed such guns exist then it is scary - the CIA can now kill anyone and get away with it.
Several people have been lightly injured by a man wielding a knife in the German city of Munich, police said.
Officers are searching for the attacker, who fled the scene.
Car drives into people outside the Natural History Museum in London.
Was this threat real, or was it made up? You may have been following the discussions on this between myself and Fred. The threat was widely reported in the world media, but Fred claims that it is a propaganda stunt invented by the USA. So what is your view?
A man has attacked a policeman with a hammer, outside Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, shouting "this is for Syria". The man was shot by police, and is being treated in hospital. The victim suffered minor injuries. Hundreds of people are reported to be locked inside the cathedral as a security measure.
Do you think there will be another attack soon?
Oh dear, looks ike another one.
A lorry has driven into a store in the centre of the capital Stockholm, killing at least three people, Swedish media say.
Shots have also reportedly been fired.
Swedish police said a number of people were injured.
The murderer was only pretending to be a Muslim, really just a druggie.
Here we go again. Breaking news on TV. Hostage takers have been neutralised say French police. Both attackers armed with knives. One hostage, the Priest, murdered. The reporters are saying this does appear to be a 'jihadist attack'.
I'm sure we all live in fear of being attacked by a bacon sandwich.
Before long this will get out of hand and they will be using pork sausage missiles.
About time these permanently offended Muslims grew up.

"Female Viagra" Approved by the FDA – How Safe Is This?
Meagan Kozlovs — June 23, 2019 add comment
The U.S drug regulator has approved on Friday the drug from Palatin Technologies and Amag Pharmaceuticals. This drug means to restore the sexual desire in those women who are in the stage of premenopause. It is also called the "female Viagra."
This is supposed to compete in a market that has failed horribly. Researchers said that a drug that could treat the loss of sexual desire in women in a safe way could reach sales of about $1 billion in a year. The shares from Palatin jumped to 44%, and the share from Amag rose to 11.5%.
They have in their composition Vyleesi, which is known as bremelanotide. It can activate some paths in the brain that involve sexual desire. It can help premenopausal women that suffer from HSDD (the hypoactive sexual desire disorder).
Addyi vs. Vyleesi: which one is better?
This drug will compete with Sprout Pharmaceuticals' Addyi, which is a pill that needs to be taken once a day, and that was approved for HSDD in 2015. However, women taking this pill were not allowed to drink alcohol while they were on medication. The drug will be available starting with September, and it will be found in select pharmacies.
Addyi was approved due to the pressure from advocacy groups. However, the reviews from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) cataloged it to be unsafe and not entirely useful.
Vyleesi does not have a problem with alcohol, and it actually has many advantages, more than Addyi has. It comes to tolerable side effects, and women do not have to take the pill every day.
During clinical trials, some side effects could be observed, such as mild to moderate nausea, which lasted about two hours, and it only happened over the first three doses. It is worth mentioning that 40% of the patients from this clinical trial had experienced side effects such as nausea.

Imran Khan says Masjid-e-Nabawi incident 'a public reaction'
Ex-premier Imran Khan termed Friday the incident of hooliganism at Masjid-e-Nabawi a "public reaction."
The ousted prime minister said the ill-fated incident was a "consequence" of the government's deeds.
On Thursday, several Pakistani protesters violated the sanctity of the Prophet's mosque in Madina as they chanted slogans against PM Shehbaz Sharif and his ministers as soon as they entered the mosque to pay their respects at the Roza-e-Rasool.
Following the incident, the religious and political leadership of Pakistan and others from various sections of society strongly condemned it.
Speaking on the issue after keeping mum for more than a day, Imran Khan said the country's masses had never reacted in such a manner in their entire history.
"Neither can I think of inciting people to hooliganism at Masjid-e-Nabawi nor can a true lover of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) think of doing this," he said.

"We are not asking the people to come out, it's the public themselves coming out to protest as they are in pain and anger; however, I can challenge they [the rulers] won't be able to show their faces in any public place."
The ex-premier further said his government was ousted through a foreign conspiracy and the current administration was part of it.
"A bunch of crooks are imposed on Pakistan and NRO II is given through foreign conspiracy, therefore what happened at Masjid-e-Nabawi was a result of their deeds," he added.
The PTI chairman said when the incident took place his party workers around the world were busy in Shab-e-Dua.
"The place I have in my heart for Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), I don't need to prove it, and I have raised my voice around the world against islamophobia," Khan said, adding that he believed that "Iman cannot be completed until you love the Holy Prophet (PBUH)."

Basketball Tournament Raises Money For Student In Need
Students from a number of Jonesboro schools made their way to Annie Camp Junior High on Tuesday for a special basketball tournament.
"Hoops for Q", this 3-on-3 tournament is a fundraiser for 15-year-old Quinton Tate.
Tate was in a tragic bike accident back in May that left him in the hospital for more than a month. Tate suffered from head trauma and other injuries.
All the funds raised from the tournament are going towards his medical expenses.
Students decided to host the fundraiser to show Tate that he is not alone on his journey to recovery.
"I am so happy they have pulled this together and everything. I'm like overwhelmed and everything. So, I appreciate everybody who is coming out here to support my son, Quinton because we've been through a lot," said Quinton's mother, Diane Tate.
Quinton was able to see some of the games Tuesday.
His mom says he still has a long journey towards recovery ahead of him and will be going through outpatient therapy.


Parental attitudes toward obesity and overweight screening and communication for hospitalized children.
OBJECTIVE: Many studies have evaluated BMI screening, communication, and follow-up recommendations in the outpatient setting. However, few studies have examined parental attitudes toward using the inpatient setting as a time to screen and counsel families regarding their child's BMI. We sought to study parental attitudes about overweight and obesity screening in the inpatient setting. METHODS: Parents (N= 101) of children aged 2 to 18 years admitted to a general pediatric hospital or surgical service were queried regarding their attitudes about screening and counseling for overweight and obesity. Children's age, gender, height, weight, and diagnosis codes were extracted from electronic medical records and billing databases. BMI was calculated, plotted, and categorized according to standard Centers for Disease Control and Prevention growth charts and expert recommendation. RESULTS: Fourteen percent of children in the study were overweight, and 17% were obese. Parents of overweight and obese children underestimated their child's weight status 68% of the time. The majority believed admitted children should always have their BMI calculated. Almost all parents (90%) indicated that their inpatient physician should inform them if their child were overweight or obese and that primary care providers should be informed of the results of BMI screening. CONCLUSIONS: Parents of children admitted to the hospital believed their children should have their BMI screened. If their child was overweight or obese, parents believed they should be informed, and counseling should be initiated. These findings support using the inpatient time to screen and communicate BMI.

Surging Global Steel Demand Outpaces Recovering Production
April 15th, 2021 IndexBox Leave a comment
IndexBox has just published a new report: 'World – Crude Steel And Steel Semi-Finished Products – Market Analysis, Forecast, Size, Trends and Insights'. Here is a summary of the report's key findings.
The beginning of 2021 saw a sharp increase in the steel demand, while metallurgical plants were still recovering from the operational downtime incurred during the lockdown. This market disbalance leads to an increase in steel prices. The recovery of the automotive sector and other downstream industries in 2020, at a faster pace than expected, generates the conditions for robust steel demand in the medium term.
Key Trends and Insights
In 2020, global steel demand, according to estimates from The World Steel Association, declined by ‑2.4% against the previous year. Countries worldwide were affected by this decline, but China saw demand increase by +8.0%. The Middle East (-19.0%), Africa (-16.0% ), the USMCA countries (-15.3%) and the European Union (‑15.2%) recorded the most significant annual slump in demand.
At the end of 2020, global industrial manufacturing started to recover, and in Q1 2021, the demand for steel from consuming industries began to exceed still readjusting market supply, leading to a surge in steel prices. The price of STEEL HRC FOB CHINA (ARGUS) on the London Metal Exchange surged from $685 (March 2021) to $791 per tonne (April 2021).
Lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in most countries experiencing a significant decline in production. In April 2020, the slump in EU steel alloy output amounted to -33.3% against April 2019, emerging into recovery only in November 2020 (+5.5% against November 2019). The stagnation seen in the downstream industries, including the automotive sector, contributed to the decline in production.
Global consumption is forecast to increase in 2021 by +4.1% year-on-year. The EU (+11.0%) and other European countries (+11.9%) are projected to see the fastest rates of consumption growth, spurred by a full recovery in the automotive and construction sectors, and other downstream industries.
In line with the Paris Agreement, modern metallurgical plants now recover waste gas emissions to curtail the discharge of greenhouse gases. Proactive research is now being conducted into low-carbon technologies, such as the use of electrolysis to recover iron ore and biomass as a substitution for coal, as well as hydrogen as a reducing agent. The current market growth will promote investment for energy-efficient and low-carbon technologies, against the planned introduction by the European Union of a carbon tax, resulting in the inevitable technological upgrading and modernization of steel smelting facilities.
China to Feature Strong Stable Demand for Steel while the U.S. to Remain the Leading Importer
The global market for raw steel and steel semi-finished products increased by 7.3% to $1,246.6B in 2019. The market value increased at an average annual rate of +3.6% from 2012 to 2019.
China (995M tonnes) constituted the country with the largest volume of consumption of raw steel and steel semi-finished products, accounting for 55% of total volume. Moreover, consumption of raw steel and steel semi-finished products in China exceeded the figures recorded by the second-largest consumer, India (109M tonnes), ninefold. Japan (96M tonnes) ranked third in terms of total consumption with a 5.3% share (IndexBox estimates).
In value terms, China ($826.7B) led the market, alone. The second position in the ranking was occupied by the U.S. ($189.5B). It was followed by Russia.
The countries with the highest levels of raw steel and steel semi-finished products per capita consumption in 2019 were Japan (752 kg per person), China (682 kg per person) and Germany (483 kg per person).
In 2019, the amount of raw steel and steel semi-finished products imported worldwide reduced to 55M tonnes, waning by -12.2% on the previous year. In general, imports saw a mild contraction. The most prominent rate of growth was recorded in 2014 when imports increased by 8.2% against the previous year. Over the period under review, global imports reached the maximum at 62M tonnes in 2018, and then dropped in the following year.
In value terms, imports of raw steel and steel semi-finished products shrank markedly to $30.1B (IndexBox estimates) in 2019. Over the period under review, imports saw a noticeable setback. The pace of growth appeared the most rapid in 2018 with an increase of 26% year-to-year. Over the period under review, global imports hit record highs at $40.3B in 2012; however, from 2013 to 2019, imports remained at a lower figure.
In 2019, the U.S. (7.3M tonnes), followed by Italy (4.8M tonnes), Indonesia (4.8M tonnes), Taiwan (Chinese) (3.4M tonnes), Thailand (3.1M tonnes), the Philippines (2.7M tonnes) and Belgium (2.5M tonnes) were the key importers of raw steel and steel semi-finished products, together committing 52% of total imports. The following importers – South Korea (2.2M tonnes), Turkey (1.7M tonnes), Egypt (1.5M tonnes), France (1.5M tonnes), Spain (1.2M tonnes) and Germany (1.1M tonnes) – together made up 17% of total imports.
In value terms, the U.S. ($4.9B), Italy ($2.6B) and Indonesia ($2.2B) appeared to be the countries with the highest levels of imports in 2019, together accounting for 32% of global imports. Thailand, Taiwan (Chinese), the Philippines, Belgium, South Korea, France, Germany, Turkey, Spain and Egypt lagged somewhat behind, together accounting for a further 36%.

In 2018, Powershop approached Metropolis to help them develop a cost effective solution that allows landlords to invest in Solar and provide tenants access to renewable solar energy. Metropolis partnered with Stoddarts and Reposit to deliver an innovative solution that creates a cost effective delivery model and an integrated billing platform for Powershop and its customers.
We brought a complex set of requirements to Metropolis to do with the rollout of an Australian-first metering solution for the new build residential market. Metropolis were a critical part of it's successful implementation with a continual focus on process simplicity and on delivering in a timely way for our customers.
Develop a cost effective metering solution for landlords and tenants to share the benefits of Solar. Deliver a simple and effective suite of tools that lower the cost and increase the timeliness of connecting Solar so that customers can benefit immediately.
Powershop needed someone agile and creative to deliver a "first in Australia" project.
Metropolis worked collaboratively with a number of leading players in the energy space: Powershop, Reposit and Stoddarts. Together, we created an innovative metering and solar solution that supports an integrated billing solution for both landlords and tenants including a feature-rich customer interface.
Each property comes with 6.5kW of Solar producing up to 10,000kW a year. The solution also provides flexibility if the customer decides to not buy the Solar, the landlord can sell it directly to Powershop.
Higher yield for Landlords with earnings up by about $25 per week.
Increased the rollout of Solar reducing our use of fossil fuels.

The Consultants' Community knows that it takes a community to build a business because no one person, or organisation, has all the answers. Knowing what you don't know is crucial to business success.
They are two states of knowledge: know it & don't know it and there are two camps: us & them (we & they).
The key to making sense of this and finding out what you don't know is questions. Questions everything in this matrix. Question common sense to make sure you are not just doing it because that is how it was always done. Question your selling point to make sure it is the right thing to focus on. Question why it can't be done to uncover true innovation. Ask the people who know it already, they may well be willing to help.
Sometimes the question is more important than the answer so don't be afraid to ask.


If two very pretty women in bathing suits come up to you on the beach with the promise of kissing, be wary.
The only time this ever happens is during a prank.
No woman ever actually wants to kiss on the beach. Not ever. Trust me, I've done the research.
However, lots of guys don't know this proven fact.
So, when two lifeguards-in-training approach a bunch of guys and tell them they need people to practice mouth to mouth on, clueless guys leap to the occasion.
For example, in this video, neither woman mentions she will not be the one performing the mouth to mouth they both are offering.
No, that pleasure is reserved for a giant bearded monster who will also stick his fingers in guys' mouths and straddle them.
All in all, it's pretty amazing watching these guys wrestle with both germaphobia and homophobia while trying to play it cool in front of the hot "lifeguards."


Narendra Modi and Amit Shah brought down the curtain on LK Advani's 68-year-old career in the BJP and its progenitor, the Bharatiya Jana Sangh. Advani, 91, will not contest the Lok Sabha election. He was not renominated from Gandhinagar, a seat he held since 1991 but for a brief interregnum. BJP president, Amit Shah, will replace Advani from Gujarat's capital.
That Shah was Advani's election agent in the past several elections makes the contest easier because of the deep networks he has built among the BJP workers, interest groups as well as the voters. This will be Shah's first election to Parliament although he was elected to the Gujarat legislature several times.
Shah's prospective entry in the Lok Sabha recommends him for a top position in the Modi government in case it returns in May, possibly as the Home minister, a portfolio he held in Gujarat under Modi. The Modi-Shah duo is known in the BJP to think several steps ahead of their colleagues.
Although Shah was brought into the Rajya Sabha to initiate him into Parliament, as it were, for the past few years, the BJP was abuzz with the speculation that he would replace Advani in Gandhinagar.
A section in the BJP wanted to sweeten Advani's exit by offering the seat to his daughter, Pratibha, but given the Modi-Shah antipathy towards political dynasts, the suggestion was rejected out of hand.
It is almost certain that Advani — who was pensioned off to the highsounding 'marg darshak mandal' back in 2014 with a host of other seniors — will not be considered for any role in the BJP or government. The political end raises a host of questions over quotidian matters that typically worry leaders: whether he can return a bungalow in Lutyen's Delhi, retain a staff, and most importantly, the NSG security ring around him.
What's also inevitable is that Advani's peers, Murli Manohar Joshi and Shanta Kumar, will be denied tickets. Veteran Kalraj Mishra of Uttar Pradesh saw the writing on the wall. A week ago, he said he was opting out of electoral politics to "work" for the party. Yashwant Sinha, who was similarly binned in 2014, revolted, left the BJP and is likely to contest from a Delhi seat with the AAP and Congress's support.
Shah's prospective debut in the Lok Sabha signals the coming of a new generation of leaders which will replace a line-up that was nurtured and promoted by Advani.
Prominent among them is Sushma Swaraj who announced she will not fight from Vidisha for health reasons. Arun Jaitley is the only leader from this vintage who has the confidence of Modi and Shah. Indeed, he's heading the campaign committee with Nirmala Sitharaman and Piyush Goyal, the rising stars in the present regime.
Just as the Modi-Shah 'jodi' ensured that the government and the BJP were perfectly in line, in case Modi is back as the PM, it's a given that Shah will be the second-in-command. The insinuation, voiced internally in the BJP at times, about Gujarat's overwhelming dominance over the power structures seldom bothered Modi and Shah because of their common credo that in the mind, winning an election was all that mattered.
The BJP, tutored and shepherded by the RSS, ensures generational changes with a little more ease than the other parties although dissensions and discontent have spilled out publicly in the past as when Advani opposed Modi's candidacy as the PM. By then the Sangh had made up its mind that Advani's "shenanigans" would not be countenanced because having been given a chance as the BJP's PM candidate once in 2009, he failed to deliver the seats.
Advani could not have faced a more inglorious finale than what came yesterday. Sources close to him maintained till the last that he was "physically and mentally fit" to keep going for another five years as an MP. He joined the RSS in 1941as a 14-year-old in Karachi and was taken in the Jana Sangh in 1951with Syama Prasad Mookerjee.
Whatever his twilight years might have been like, the country's political annals will have a place for him as the leader who took the BJP to new heights albeit through controversial and divisive means. Advani was Modi's patron and fought to keep him as the Gujarat chief minister after the 2002 violence when Atal Bihari Vajpayee, then the PM, wanted him out.
His exit proves that in politics nobody is anyone's chela.

FINLAND TOP 10 CITIES 2017,10 Best Places to Visit in Finland
VIDEO TITLE:FINLAND TOP 10 CITIES 2017,10 Best Places to Visit in Finland
Finland (/ˈfɪnlənd/ (About this sound listen); Finnish: Suomi [suomi] (About this sound listen); Swedish: Finland [ˈfɪnland]), officially the Republic of Finland,[7] is a sovereign state in Northern Europe. A peninsula with the Gulf of Finland to the south and the Gulf of Bothnia to the west, the country has land borders with Sweden to the northwest, Norway to the north, and Russia to the east. Estonia is south of the country across the Gulf of Finland. Finland is a Nordic country situated in the geographical region of Fennoscandia, which also includes Scandinavia. Finland's population is 5.5 million (2014), and the majority of the population is concentrated in the southern region.[8] 88.7% of the population is Finnish people who speak Finnish, a Uralic language unrelated to the Scandinavian languages; the second major group are the Finland-Swedes (5.3%). In terms of area, it is the eighth largest country in Europe and the most sparsely populated country in the European Union.
Finland is a parliamentary republic with a central government based in the capital Helsinki, local governments in 311 municipalities,[9] and an autonomous region, the Åland Islands. Over 1.4 million people live in the Greater Helsinki metropolitan area, which produces a third of the country's GDP. From the late 12th century, Finland was an integral part of Sweden, a legacy reflected in the prevalence of the Swedish language and its official status. In the spirit of the notion of Adolf Ivar Arwidsson (1791–1858), we are not Swedes, we do not want to become Russians, let us therefore be Finns, the Finnish national identity started to become established. Nevertheless, in 1809, Finland was incorporated into the Russian Empire as the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland. In 1906, Finland became the second nation in the world to give the right to vote to all adult citizens and the first in the world to give all adult citizens the right to run for public office.[10][11] Following the 1917 Russian Revolution, Finland declared itself independent.
In 1918, the fledgling state was divided by civil war, with the Bolshevik-leaning Reds supported by the equally new Soviet Russia, fighting the Whites, supported by the German Empire. After a brief attempt to establish a kingdom, the country became a republic. During World War II, the Soviet Union sought repeatedly to occupy Finland, with Finland losing parts of Karelia, Salla and Kuusamo, Petsamo and some islands, but retaining independence. Finland joined the United Nations in 1955 and established an official policy of neutrality. The Finno-Soviet Treaty of 1948 gave the Soviet Union some leverage in Finnish domestic politics during the Cold War era. Finland joined the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 1969, the NATO Partnership for Peace on 1994,[12] the European Union in 1995, the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council in 1997,[12] and finally the Eurozone at its inception, in 1999.
Finland was a relative latecomer to industrialization, remaining a largely agrarian country until the 1950s. After World War II, the Soviet Union demanded war reparations from Finland not only in money but also in material such as ships and machinery. This forced Finland to industrialize. It rapidly developed an advanced economy while building an extensive Nordic-style welfare state, resulting in widespread prosperity and one of the highest per capita incomes in the world.[13] However, Finnish GDP growth has been negative in 2012–2014 (−0.698% to −1.426%), with a preceding nadir of −8% in 2009.[14] Finland is a top performer in numerous metrics of national performance, including education, economic competitiveness, civil liberties, quality of life, and human development.[15][16][17][18] In 2015, Finland was ranked first in the World Human Capital[19] and the Press Freedom Index, and as the most stable country in the world during 2011–2016 in the Fragile States Index,[20] and second in the Global Gender Gap Report.[21] A large majority of Finns are members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church,[22] though freedom of religion is guaranteed under the Finnish Constitution.

Road Trip & Things to do in Lapland, Finland
In search for the best winter spots Kristin & I went on a road trip through Lapland in Finland and checked out all the things to do in Lapland and it was magical!
I know it took a while to finish editing this video as I had to struggle with the 4k video data I got from my new toy: the drone. I'm now able to shoot lovely aerial footage to give you an even broader picture of the destination.
Our trip to finnish Lapland started in Rovaniemi with the visit of the Santa Claus village where we said hi to Santa himself and had some fun tubing and drinking at the ice bar in Snowman World.
Snowmobiling was a great way to start our second day & I would say it's one of the must dos in Lapland for sure!
Next stop was the area of Ylläs where we spent most of our time: ice sculpturing, snowshoeing, skiing, dog sledding, a reindeer safari, sauna and northern light sightings made this trip to once in a lifetime winter experience!

Here are some circumstances that can make married Men be ordained priests
As many Roman Catholic priests usually practice celibacy (i.e. unmarried) actually, this practice is a long-held discipline of the Church. That means that under some circumstances, a priest might be married.
This discipline is distinct from the dogma that says priests must be male. The actual reasons for the discipline of celibacy are grounded in the example of the life of Christ himself, even as the Church's understanding of the practice has developed over time.
Additional to his own example of life, the teaching of Jesus on celibacy is clear. For according to (Mathew 9:12) the Lord says, "For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can".
However, as we see in the earliest days of Christianity that some if not all of the 12 apostles were married. This is actually a basic fact that is confirmed through so many scriptural passages, such as the reference to St. Peter's "mother-in law" in Matthew 8:14–15.
Unquestionably, the disciples of Jesus immediately recognized the value of celibacy, especially for those who were engaged in priestly ministry.
St. Paul was actually the most vocal advocate for priestly celibacy, as he argues in one of letters to the Corinthians that marriage by necessity divides a person's attention.
(1Corinthians 7:32-34a,35), "I should like you to be free of anxieties. An unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord. But a married man is anxious about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, and he is divided…I am telling you this for your own benefit, not to impose a restraint upon you, but for the sake of propriety and adherence to the Lord without distraction".
So, following the Apostolic age, two priestly traditions which is developed in the Church: one that openly preferred celibacy and another that accepted married men. But in general monks practiced celibacy, just as bishops, while married men could only be ordained priests.
But as at the 12th century, the Roman or "Western" Church held firmly to the practice of a celibate priesthood, while the Eastern Church went further to ordain married men.
Both traditions were however accepted by the Catholic Church. The Eastern Church, as often ordaining married men to the priesthood, has always maintained a celibate episcopate, only choosing bishops from priests who were never married.
This has got to be the case up until the present day.
Though in the recent years, however, the Latin Church has even allowed more married men to be ordained priests, according to specific cultural circumstances.
For instance, a married Protestant minister (be it Lutheran, Episcopalian, Anglican, or otherwise) who converts to the Catholic Church can, with a special permission from the Holy See be accepted to the Catholic priesthood.
Because, these men are already familiar with balancing ministerial demands with the demands of their marriage and they are culturally prepared to take on the responsibilities of being a married Catholic priest.
This is always the case in the Ordinariates which is established by Benedict XVI for Anglicans who wished to join the Church.
One clarification to understand is that as married men can be ordained priests, it is never in anyway permitted for an ordained priest to get married. Marriage must surely precede ordination.
In all, the priesthood demands conformity to Christ and love for His holy people. Because, being a married priest inevitably divides the attention of the priest and invites new challenges to priestly ministry in the modern world. It also, implies incredible demands on the wife of the priest, who must be able to carry many responsibilities while the attention of her husband are on sacramental ministry.
Lastly, we must remember that no man is ordained a priest just for his own sake. The priesthood is not a job wh ich is applied for or a career undertaken.
Rather, the priestly vocation is ordered to the salvation of souls, by preaching, teaching, and sacrifice. The holy priesthood, however vibrant or ailing, only belongs to Christ and his Church.
However, total unity with the Church is the only way to ensure that the prophetic and salvific mission of Christ can be carried on by priests these days.
