4 Ways To Avoid Being Broke
BYLAKSHANIKA LAMMEERA
In today's world, we are now running faster than ever to be able to make more every hour. We compete with the people next to us and people on the opposite end of the continent to make our mark and to make our living.
However, as the number of millionaires increases, the number of people reaching bankruptcy and being broke is ultimately increasing too. News of the once rich and famous going broke often pops up in the Financial Report.
How can you avoid the mistakes of the once rich who've gone broke? Here are some common-sense tips to help you avoid being broke.
1. Don't purchase what you can't afford just to impress.
These days, we are all looking to impress. Looking less is unacceptable in certain parts of the world. While some believe beauty is found within, others believe that beauty is in the Prada you wear and the sports car you drive. So, to impress those who really don't matter, we spend our paychecks in a department store.
Take this lesson from history: one should never spend beyond their means. If you can't afford it, then find alternatives according to your means. This is a survival mechanism which allows you to save and prevents you from going into debt. Getting away from your need to impress is a great way to avoid excessive spending.
2. Freeze your credit cards in your freezer.
The trend these days, instead of carrying cash, is carrying different cards from different banks with different interests in your purse or wallet. You swipe at every single purchase with your mind on your purchase and ignore the bills you've been racking up. According to research, one of the biggest reasons for an individual to be broke is overspending on multiple credit cards.
Running away and changing your identity is one option, while another is to declare bankruptcy. To avoid either of these, try going old school and carrying cash instead. This limits what you can spend in the moment. If the temptation of using your credit cards is too great, try freezing them in ice in your freezer. This adds another obstacle between you and your next charge.
3. Invest smartly, not impulsively.
Investing is a great way to make money and protect your assets. However, we aren't all experts in investing. We may be great moneymakers, but the talent of wise investing doesn't come to us all. Investing emotionally is the same as gambling — we gamble impulsively, hence we lose big or win big.
As a precaution, always have an advisor who is trustworthy and an expert on investing either in real estate or stock markets. However, research on your part is also important. It will give you the confidence and knowledge you need to make smart investments. After some time, you will be used to investing and your experience will be your greatest advisor.
4. Focus on diversifying your assets.
In the dating world, we are often told to focus on differences rather than similarities. Why? Because it gives us the confidence to secure our emotional selves. Why not act the same way with your assets?
In the 2000s, the "Get Rich Quick" scheme was on the rise. Many went broke when they invested all their assets in one scheme. History teaches us to never leave all our eggs in one basket. This is an important lesson when it comes to investing.
Investigate how you can expand your assets and diversify your investments in different markets and different sectors. Read books to help you understand how you can best go about diversifying your assets.
Thinking about finances is always uncomfortable and spending is always tempting. However, in today's world, your assets and your bank balance will give you a sense of security, while extravagant spending may leave you at the bottom of the barrel.

Natural Ways to Fight Depression
HEALTH LIFESTYLEBY BRIAN WU
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), some 350 million people suffer from depression all over the world, making it a problem of truly global proportions. Depression comes with an array of difficult signs and symptoms, including feelings of hopelessness or despair, physical pain, fatigue, problems with eating and sleeping and sometimes even thoughts or attempts at suicide.
The good news is, however, that along with medication and counselling, there are a lot of natural lifestyle choices you can make to help support your journey back to good mental health. Most of them are so simple that they might surprise you!
This can be a difficult lifestyle choice to make because of the fatigue that depression can bring with it, but if you can manage it, regular and gentle exercise can support your emotional health. This is because physical activity release endorphins, natural "feel good" hormones that can help raise your mood levels naturally. Regular exercise can also combat stress, with frequently goes along with depression.
Stress — and in the inability to cope with stress — is often an underlying cause of depression or can at least make the problem worse. So taking up a stress-busting exercise like yoga or tai chi or learning how to meditate can help to deal with these feelings of anxiety and make them easier to cope with in healthy ways.
A Healthy Diet
Many people with depression will tend to either over- or under-eat, leading to problems with weight. However, a healthy, balanced diet with good portions of foods throughout the day can help you cope with depression by keeping your blood sugars balanced and your energy level steady; it will also help you to get the vitamins and minerals you need to keep your nervous system (including your brain) healthy.
There are also plenty of herbs and supplements out there that can also help you conquer your depression. One of them is fish oil supplements; it has been found that the omega-3 fatty acids in the oil support the health and balance of the nervous system. Another one is St. John's Wort, which is thought to help depression by increasing levels of serotonin, a "feel good" hormone in the brain. However, you should talk to your doctor before beginning any supplement to make sure it will not react with medications you are already taking.
Social Time
One of the hardest parts of depression is how lonely and isolated it can make you feel. So even if you don't always feel like it, get out and socialize and allow the support and love of your friends and family to get you through the tough times. Support groups, friends, people from your church or other place of worship can all play a role in giving you the emotional strength you need as you work to get well.
If you are fighting a battle with depression, the importance of getting a good night's sleep (ideally between 7 and 8 hours a night) cannot be over-emphasized. Sleep deprivation can make feelings of depression — as well as stress and anxiety — much worse and can put a strain on your nervous system and brain. However, make sure not to oversleep, which can be a struggle for some people who suffer from depression.
The takeaway here is that if you are battling depression, you are not alone — and you can also be empowered to make the lifestyle changes that will help you overcome with problem. A healthy, balanced diet, sleep, stress management, supplements and the support of friends and loved ones can all combine to make your journey more successful and to complement your medications and counselling.

5 Ways to Lose Fats Safely During Your 40s
BY STEFAN JAMES
What happens when you reach your 40s? Unfortunately, your metabolism starts to slow down as early as mid to late thirties. By the time when you reach forty years old, don't be surprised when it becomes harder to lose fats. This explains individuals in their forties who suddenly became overweight. Don't be surprised if it becomes harder to burn calories naturally. In fact, if you don't use a smart approach in weight and fat loss, you may end up becoming unhealthy.
So how exactly are you supposed to lose fats safely at this point? Here are five strategies that you can use to lose fats when you reach your 40s.
1. Sleep at least 8 hours daily
One of the most common mistakes of people trying to lose weight is to skip sleep. From working late to waking up early to prepare meals for the work ahead, a lot of people in their 40s lack quality sleep.
What they don't know is that you lose a lot of calories when you sleep. For a 160 pound individual, you will lose approximately 69 calories per hour when you are sleeping. Aside from burning calories at night, sleep also helps repair the body. Consequently, this could enable the body to burn more calories during daytime.
Keep in mind though that not all night time and day time snooze are created equal. If you feel stressed going to sleep, expect cortisol to shoot up making your metabolism to slow down.
2. Prepare your meals days ahead
It is important that you prepare your meals days ahead of time. One of the most common problems encountered by people living fast paced lives is to simply eat anywhere. This can be a problem especially when you want to watch your diet.
What you can do is to prepare the meals ahead of time. This way, you can easily count the calories and be sure that what you eat is actually healthy. You can prepare your meals every three days. Make sure that it has the proper balance of carbohydrates, protein and fats to give your body the nutrition it needs.
3. Have a food diary
For someone in their forties, it is important to always monitor what you eat. From the soda that you drank to that chocolate that you decided to eat, these are things that accumulate. Also, aside from additional calories, these are also habits that you make. With a food diary, you will be able to determine the situations that make you eat unhealthy foods. What you can do is to determine ways on how to avoid these situations and even find healthier alternatives.
4. Use the right supplements at the right time
Another effective means to lose fats safely is to use the right type of supplement at the right time. Eating clean is a good way to lose fats, but when you are already in your forties, you want to maximize every opportunity that you have. One of which is having the right kind of supplement that can give you that edge.
For instance, you could invest on whey powders, creatine and even branched chain amino acids to build muscle mass and to spike your metabolic rate. You can also try other health supplements such as conjugated linoleic acid which can significantly boost weight loss. However, before you even attempt to invest on any supplements, make sure that it is FDA recommended.
5. Mix your workouts
There are instances when it is not only how hard you work, but how smart you do your workouts. One common mistake of people in their 40s is to keep on repeating the same workouts over and over again. Not only does it become boring, it can also decrease the amount of calories you burn.
To maximize your time at the gym, you want to mix your workouts every three weeks. This way, you lose fats more efficiently. It is also important to stick to large muscle groups to burn more calories in the process.
If you ever wondered how to lose fats safely when you are in your 40s, keep in mind that your metabolism isn't that fast anymore. It is important to take calculated steps on what you eat and even how you rest. If you just want to optimize results, follow these simple steps, and you will see massive difference.

Seyi Sodimu remixes his classic tune "Love me Jeje" featuring AmericanR&B sensation, K. Michelle.
Seyi Sodimu releases the remix of his hit single "Love me jeje" featuring American R&B sensation K. Michelle. The song which was previously released years back, was a monster hit and helped launch his career.
The collaboration, which was released on May 30th 2016 (on Itunes, MTN music plus, Youtube, MTV Base Africa, Trace Africa, ETC.), was produced and recorded in Atlanta, Georgia by SHIZZI (Magic-fingers) and the video was also shot in Atlanta by Sesan Ogunro of Film Factory. The A&R for the project was done by Bankulli and additional vocals by Password and Duzzi. Live Guitar by Fioke and special thanks to Eric Cire.
Seyi Sodimu (also known as Mr. Jeje) is widely known for his hit singles Love me Jeje and Money Man. He is also considered one of the pioneers of the new sound of the ever-growing Nigerian Music Industry of fusing native languages with English lyrics. Seyi is an international artist who has performed at the prestigious Press Club in Washington DC, performed alongside Wyclef Jean, worked with Ginuwine, and collaborated with reggae star Wayne Wonder and many more.
The classic song has been completely reproduced with a new verse written for K. Michelle in an effort to perfectly marry R&B and Afro Soul, which proved to be perfectly successful. Seyi Sodimu, who founded the independent label Goodlife Entertainment in 2001, is working on his fourth album, which is due for release later this year under the label.

Angelina Jolie to teach at London School of Economics
Hollywood actress, Angelina Jolie is to join the London School of Economics (LSE) as a visiting professor on a new masters course on women, peace and security, the school announced on Monday.
Angelina Jolie , Special envoy of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees
The LSE said the course which begins in 2017, is the first of its kind globally and will be run by the LSE Centre for Women, Peace and Security. The body was inaugurated last year by Jolie and Britain's former foreign Secretary, William Hague.
"It is vital that we broaden the discussion on how to advance women's rights, and end impunity for crimes that disproportionately affect women, such as sexual violence in conflict," Jolie, a Special Envoy for the U.N. Refugee Agency (UNHCR) said in a statement. "I am looking forward to teaching and to learning from the students, as well as to sharing my own experiences of working alongside governments and the United Nations." Hague will also be joining LSE as a visiting professor.
The Oscar-winning actress and Hague had become an unlikely double-act on campaigning to end sexual violence against women in conflict. The partnership was sparked by Jolie's 2011 directorial debut "In the Land of Blood and Honey" that was set against the backdrop of the 1992 to 1995 Bosnian war.
An estimated 20,000 women were believed to have been raped in the conflict that raged in the Balkans in the early `90s. The pair co-founded the Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative in 2012 to rally global action on such crimes, increase the numbers of perpetrators brought to justice and ensure better support for survivors.
They co-hosted the first global conference on the issue in London in 2014. Hague said the new course would help underpin their work by developing research to help tackle the culture of impunity.

'Shark Tank' entrepreneur Daymond John explains why being broke was key to his success
James Altucher, The Altucher Confidential
INCDaymond John.
I was starving all the time. I lived in one room, had one futon and had a three inch screen on the floor next to the futon. But the TV didn't work because you needed cable and I couldn't afford that.
So I started a business. Many people think, "I have an idea" and then they want to raise $10,000,000 or something outrageous.
I didn't have any ideas. But I was good at this new thing, the Internet, and I convinced people they needed to build websites.
Was I right or wrong: Does a company need a website?
Who knew back then. Nobody knew.
But I was broke and hungry and wanted money to purchase some small piece of freedom so I could do what I loved — write.
So I sold the few skills I had to masters who would pay me and I got to work.
Which is why I was excited to read Daymond John's book (founder of FUBU and $6 billion in sales later, a star from the ABC show "Shark Tank" along with Mark Cuban, Barbara Corcoran, etc) — "The Power of Broke".
Daymond came on my podcast. He told me first about a time when he was no longer broke and why NOT being broke got him in trouble.
I started a record label, he said. We made the fanciest videos, the best ads, we got the best artists, we made an album.
We spent $3 million on ads and videos and we sold $1 million worth of records.
This reminded me, he said, about how I should always get back to that feeling of being broke. That feeling of taking care of risk, of struggling to maximize every strength. That feeling of hustle that puts you back on the street.
He got the entrepreneurial bug when his mom taught him how to sew wool caps and he sewed 80 of them out of fabric he bought for almost nothing and sold them for $10 each and made $800.
"Did you go back the next day and sew more?" I asked him.
"No," he said and he paused, "I went back THE NEXT HOUR and sewed more."
Within a few years his FUBU line had $350 million in sales. Within a decade or so he had sold $6 billion worth of clothes.
Gus Ruelas/Reuters
In his book he tells story after story of people who went from broke to wealth.
"People always say you need money to make money," he said to me. "This is wrong. If it were true why would half the Forbes 500 of the richest people in the world start with nothing?"
"In fact if I had ZERO money when I started that record label, it probably would've worked. Instead, I went in there with the wrong mindset and I failed. I wasn't hungry enough."
We talked for an hour. He told me lots of stories from the book.
I was trying to write down notes of what he said so could I learn. No matter how many businesses I've started and failed at (with a success here or there) I always want to learn more.
I took out the paper this morning and here is what I can read from what he said:
Find your community or your following. He talked about a teenager who had 15 million followers on Instagram and was now building a business around it. She's mentioned in his book.
He talked about himself. FUBU stands for "For us, By us". He sold clothes into the burgeoning hip-hop community that he had been so passionate about.
LL Cool J lived down the street but he didn't know him. So he showed up at his house every day and begged him to wear FUBU clothes.
Finally LL did, even wearing one on a Gap video and in the $30 million video said the phrase, "For us, by us" while wearing the cap.
"If I had millions of dollars, I would not have begged LL and slowly won him over. I probably would have just paid him and then lost him. Money would've cost me rather than having a mission around what I was doing. I had to get down and BEG LL until it worked."
nenetus/Shuttershock
Sometimes it means "other people's money" but sometimes it might mean "Other people's mistakes" or "Other people's momentum" (the way LL piggybacked FUBU on the momentum he had from The Gap ads).
Learn from other people, Mistakes, money, momentum, motivations, whatever it takes. Fill in the M.
Affordable Steps Forward
If you sell 800 hats, don't try to sell a million the next day. Sell 1000. Always take affordable steps forward so you aren't at risk of going out of business. "Don't take a $200,000 loan out on day one."
But I challenged him on that, which led to this.
Always Manage Risk
I said, "But your mom mortgaged her house to give you $100,000 for the business. How does that match up?"
He said, "Yeah, but I had an order for $300,000 from Macy's that I had to fill.
"As soon as I had the $100,000, I made the clothes, Macy's paid me, and I paid back the bank. I never would have taken out the loan without knowing in advance how I would pay it back."
Whenever I have loaned out money I don't think I've ever gotten paid back once. I guess this is why I have gone broke so many times.
People think entrepreneurs take risks. This is not true. Entrepreneurs want to make more money than they spend. Period.
This means ALL of the time is spent on managing risks and costs.
"We were out on the streets selling hats and every day we'd try new prices, new styles, new sizes. We'd see what would work and then double down on what worked and stop doing what didn't work."
Later on I asked him about some of the businesses he invested in with Shark Tank.
He told me the story of one company and how they would constantly do ads on Facebook for $100 to see what products people would click on. "We would do up to 5 ads simultaneously and we'd have ads running all of the time."
Whatever people clicked on, those are the products they would sell.
ABT — Always Be Testing.
We talked about jobs. How a job is like running a very small business with one source of revenue.
How the fact that people live paycheck to paycheck because that "personal business" is usually just breakeven or even loses money.
"Even when i was starting FUBU I had two different jobs. I had to make more money than I was spending or it wasn't worth it. We shut down FUBU twice during those first few years but people kept calling us back for bigger and bigger orders and then it was making money."
I asked him what he looked for in a company he invests in Shark Tank. He's put almost $8,000,000 into companies on Shark Tank.
"I look at the number of times the entrepreneur has failed," he said. "I don't want them to have their learning experiences on my dime."
"I have to like the person," he said.
This to me is the most important. I've invested in many companies and have had many failures and some successes.
The only successes were when I really liked the entrepreneur. And all of the failures came when I thought the idea was more important than the person.
I asked him, "I can relate to the 'Power of Broke — the grit, the hustle, and so on — but doesn't this glamorize being broke a bit? When I was broke, it was really painful. I felt like I would never get up again. Never live."
He said, "Being broke is temporary but poverty of mind is permanent. You have to avoid poverty of mind."
You can always learn from failures. Take affordable risks. Start fresh even stronger and get back to that hustle.
He said, "I apply the Power of Broke every single day of my life."
"I don't believe it," I said, "what did you today that was the Power of Broke?"
"Well," he said, "Today I wanted to promote my book as cheaply and powerfully as possible."
"What did you do?"
"I called you."

1834 printing of the 1834 copyrighted text. The author is credited as Mrs. John Farrar and is the author of Congo In Search of His Master and The Children's Robinson Crusoe. The text seeks to address the difficulty children have in writing letters (epistles) and to offer an alternative to another popular text, Complete Letter-Writer, which the author finds filled with absurdities and faults. The text offers general directions, simple criticism, and good examples in the form of a narrative about a young letter writer of fourteen. The work covers many topics, such as punctuation, paragraphs, folding letters, sample topics, and invitations. The Schultz Archive's copy is roughly the complete text.

1835 printing of the 1834 copyrighted text. The introduction explains the author has taught for ten years and sought to write a text for his own use that comported to his own methods of teaching grammar. He states his text recognizes most of the principles adopted by Murray, but differs in the mode and style of illustrating them. His style of language has been adapted to the juvenile mind and he uses a philosophical mode of parsing and correcting false syntax and orthography to exercise the understanding of the pupil. The text uses numerous questions in each section as a method of exercising students' understanding. The Schultz Archive's copy is roughly the complete text.

The introductory lessons cover parts of speech. These are followed by sections on concrete nouns (object lessons), attributes, distinctions of nouns, modifying elements, abnormal forms, construction, and explanation. Oral and written exercises are included throughout. The Schultz Archive's copy is roughly the complete text.
Day, Henry Noble, 1808-1890
27. You Make the Road By Walking
A sage expression, you make the road by walking, captures the nature of accompaniment in partnership development. The purpose of this action research project was to examine the partnership of a city school and an urban university as one that engaged mutual generation of knowledge from all participants. Action research, where participants are co-equals in decision-making, enhances the co-construction of knowledge and applied practice when stakeholders work to achieve more practical goals. Two high school co-instructors and a university faculty member examined what initially brought them together – a classroom instructional need. While designing and implementing an investigation of the use of class instructional time, they simultaneously conducted a self-study action research project about the dynamics of their partnership and how to improve it. Critical interviews revealed challenges to integrating research findings into practice as well as convergent benefits of partnership development that may be relevant to partnerships of all kinds. Key Terms: Action research, collaboration, collaborative organizations, mode 2 knowledge creation, partnership development, research-practice gap

40. Writing into the Unknown: Speculative, Arts-Based Writing as Creative Composition and Design Research Method
How do arts-based writing endeavors catalyze generative thinking and support research development in design students' thesis endeavors? This paper offers reflections from an industrial design masters student, a graphic design masters student, and their arts education professor in a School of Design at a Research I institution. Informed by theoretical and historical contexts of the design discipline and perspectives from composition studies and fine arts practice, we explore the potential of arts-based writing as an evocative, speculative tool and a distinctive form of reflective practice for the development of graduate design research. We suggest that arts-based writing's iterative process, dialogic engagement, and speculative approach to knowledge-construction provide critical, reflective structures for working through uncertainties and thus are uniquely responsive to the evolving epistemologies of the transdisciplinary university. Three focal questions guide this reflection: What is arts-based writing? What role does arts-based writing play in students' design research endeavors? How can arts-based writing practices support the growth of speculative and pragmatic design research?

45. The Writer Being One of a Series of Handbooks Upon Practical Expression A Correlation of the Principles of Elocution and Rhetoric Applied to Every Detail
1893 printing of 1893 copyrighted text. Raymond is credited with a L.H.D., as Professor of Oratory and Aesthetic Criticism in the College of New Jersey at Princeton, and as the author of several texts. Wheeler is credited with a Litt.D. and as University Fellow in English 1891-2, and in Oratory and Aesthetic Criticism 1892-3, in the College of New Jersey. A textbook designed to combine elocution and rhetoric, as these are often taught together. Preface argues that as elocution is simpler, it can used as an aid to understanding rhetoric. The introduction discusses "Elocution and Rhetoric Correlated." The section on style covers effects corresponding to those of elocutionary time, to those of elocutionary pitch, to those of elocutionary force, and to those of elocutionary quality. The section on theme cover the selection, limitation, a division of subjects, and the treatment of subjects as determined by their aims and readers. The Schultz Archive copy contains the preface, TOC, the introduction, and pages 166 – 203, (the theme section and the index).

47. The World's National Parks
There are around 2700 locations with National Park in their title on our planet, and more than 6500 locations with Category II type of protected areas that defines "National Park" per International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and its World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA). So far, there is not a single website or mobile app dedicated to the World's National Parks where all the information about the parks is available on a map. If any user wants to search information about the world's national parks, he or she will have to rely on Wikipedia, TripAdvisor, travel blogs, or find the park's official website. Searching for a list of World National Parks on online search engines usually returns an incomplete Wikipedia page or short list of well-known or well publicized National Parks. That makes the search very difficult and doesn't give all the information. Also, there is not a single database or API with all the world's national parks on the Internet. We've created The World's National Parks website and mobile application that provides a brief information and a map of all the National Parks. Mobile Application has features like finding parks nearby and directions.

49. WORKING DRAFT - 5G and International Security: How the UK can Lead the Way
The current debates revolving around 5G, Huawei, and how they are resolved, are highly visible indicators of the technology based shifts in the global order which are setting the tone for the 21st century. Currently, it seems that many in the US and the PRC are using Cold War and Thucydides Trap paradigms, with a zero-sum mentality. At least in the case of 5G technology, the UK seems to have taken a more nuanced approach. This article comes as the UK prepares its new National Cyber Security Strategy, reviewing the 5G and cyber security debates surrounding Huawei in a highly interdisciplinary manner, and directing readers to a rich variety of resources. In addition to its analysis of issues and solutions often absent from the discourse, this article's feature contribution is the argument that the UK can be more than an example of a middle way. Specifically, if the UK scales up and internationalizes its Huawei Cyber Security Evaluation Center, perhaps by creating an International Cyber Security Evaluation Center, it can lead its allies and the world in 5G, 6G, cybersecurity, and international relations, filling a vital leadership vacuum.

Coastal cowboys wrangle through Oregon Inlet
Posted byHank Sibley Bluewater Yacht Sales May 11, 2014 May 11, 2014 Posted inUncategorized
By Lee Tolliver
© May 11, 2014
Brynner Parks let out a deep sigh of relief as he peeled his fingers off the helm.
He throttled down the diesel engines on his sportfishing boat and contemplated the best way to describe another day of fishing out of Oregon Inlet.
It didn't have much to do with catching fish.
"I tell everybody when I pull back into the slip that I did my job," said Parks, a charter captain for nearly 40 years who now runs the Smoker. "I got you home."
Just that makes for a successful day.
"Fishing is a bonus," Parks said with a laugh. "It really is."
Oregon Inlet was in bad shape a few weeks ago, and earlier in the year, and late last year. It has been often through the years. Skippers deal with shoaling, ever-changing channel locations, river-rapid tides and howling winds. They can rarely relax while navigating parts of the inlet whose reputation for danger has earned names such as Hell's Gate.
"It'll make you pucker," Capt. Chris Stine said on the Bi-Op-Sea.
But coastal cowboys brave the conditions to keep doing what they love.
They couldn't pay the bills if they didn't.
"We evaluate it ourselves all the time, and we know what we're doing," Parks said, as other captains pulled into their Oregon Inlet Fishing Center slips sporting the same "whew" facial expressions. "It can be dangerous and sometimes treacherous, but I wouldn't call it scary.
"I know people are talking about the inlet. But we're open for business and going fishing. And fishing is starting to get pretty good."
So is the inlet.
Over the past week, Army Corps of Engineers dredges have been trying to clear the way for hundreds of boats that depart daily underneath the Bonner Bridge.
Charter boats, private watercraft and commercial vessels from the fishing center, Pirate's Cove Marina and Wanchese, N.C., annually pump billions of dollars into the Outer Banks economy, which means the captains have to deal with sometimes hazardous conditions.
"I've gotta make a living, man," said Capt. Billy Maxwell of Tuna Fever.
Local knowledge is the biggest advantage Oregon Inlet captains have. After storms, Maxwell and David Swain of the High Return head to the inlet in a skiff with a depth finder and a long pole marked with 1-foot increments to test the water. They place poly balls – large floating markers – decorated with reflective tape alongside the natural channels, using large brake drums to anchor them to the bottom.
"You hit (the poly balls) with a spotlight, and that channel gets lit up like Dulles Airport," Maxwell said.
The Corps helps as much as it can.
Three dredges are working the area, and aerial photographs with depth numbers are provided weekly.
"We've got better water than we've had in months," Capt. Danny Wadsworth, who runs the Point Runner, said this week. "It's just not very wide. It doesn't leave any room for error."
And errors happen – even for highly experienced skippers. Conditions often make navigating the channel a precision operation.
"You run in and out of this inlet enough, you're going to bump," Maxwell said, referring to when a boat touches the bottom.
On Tuesday, it happened to Dennis Endee, a skipper of 20 years who runs the A-Salt Weapon out of Pirate's Cove. His 56-foot Paul Mann scraped on the way out.
"It's the first time I've hit right there," said Endee, who bent a rudder and is looking at a couple thousand dollars to fix it. "The current swept me a little to the north of the narrow channel they have cleared, and that was it."
Endee's boat was pulled out of the water at Bayliss Boatworks in Wanchese, where owner John Bayliss said he has a boat suffering from nearly $100,000 in damage.
Endee said such incidents cause more hurt to the inlet's reputation.
"And economically, that's horrifying," the New Jersey native said. "The number of boats that don't bother to come in here for a few nights or for a tournament is staggering, and it's costing the area an awful lot of money.
"They just need to fix this problem, and it's an easy fix."
Captains say a rock jetty on the north side would keep sand from sweeping into the inlet. The plan was approved decades ago and financed. Environmental lawsuits tied up the project in courts.
"I've been up and down this entire East Coast," Endee said, "and every inlet other than Oregon and Hatteras are jettied. … It just doesn't make any sense."
Until things get fixed, captains will continue to exit and enter the Atlantic Ocean and its fertile fishing grounds through a swirling world of sand and sloughs.
The other option is to run to Hatteras Inlet, a costly round trip of about 100 miles.
"Hatteras isn't in much better shape right now," Maxwell said. "And that eats up any money you can make on a trip."
Sitting in a chair in the fishing center, Maxwell looked at weekly charts provided by the Corps and marveled at the ever-changing waterway. He glanced at the clock and realized the day's fleet should be approaching the inlet. Reaching for the VHF radio, he called out and asked how much water incoming skippers had.
"About 10 feet," Parks barked back. "But it sure is narrow."
Fishing center General Manager Minta Meekins stood nearby and slowly shook her head.
"I've got lots of respect for these guys," said Meekins, who has worked at the center for nearly 40 years, some 15 in charge. "They just do what they have to do. Sometimes, it amazes me that they go out."

Let's Plan to Meet at The Viking VIP in September 2014
Viking 92: One Big Boat


This work investigates the novel concept of Degree-of-Participation (DP) in mobile ad hoc networks. The Degree-of-Participation concept allows nodes in the ad hoc network to use their own policies to decide the level of involvement they are willing to have in the forwarding process.
The work also investigates DP-based routing schemes for mobile ad hoc networks. Performance evaluations show that the Degree-of-Participation allows a more flexible and resource-aware forwarding process.
A variety of different types of devices may serve as nodes in a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). Every node must be equipped with a transmitter and receiver in order to allow wireless communication, however each may have a different set of abilities. Typically, the functionalities and resources available to the node are suited to the device's particular purpose and requirements.
Participation in a MANET places a burden on a node, in addition to its primary functions. Each node is asked to also forward packets for the rest of the network. This consumes some or all of a node's resources, including processing time, energy stores, and network bandwidth. Depending on the amount of routing demand placed on a node, the additional routing load may reduce or drain a node's available resources. A node may then be forced to restrict its own operations, or even shut down, abandoning all functionality.
A node is required to participate in the routing process in order for the network to effectively deliver its traffic. The load placed on the node is dependent on the routing protocol used in the network. In most ad hoc routing protocols, a node has little choice as to how much forwarding it must perform. If it feels it cannot perform these duties, or chooses not to, for whatever reason, it has only two choices: to break the rules of the routing protocol, or to withdraw from the network. Both solutions will have a negative impact on the network as a whole.
The Degree-of-Participation-concept provides nodes with a method for varying their level of involvement in the network. Based on the degree a node agrees to participate in the network, a Degree-of-Participation-based routing protocol distributes a larger or smaller portion of the routing load to the node. The actual process of deciding their own participation degree is left to the nodes themselves. The individual nodes may each set their own internal policies for determining their participation, rather than requiring the establishment of a uniform, network-wide resource policy.


White food diet can seem a bit confusing when you first think about those three words together; however, as you begin to delve into what a white food diet might be you will understand why these words make sense. A white food diet would be considered a diet of carbohydrates. It is just another way of saying you are eating a low carb diet that can be a white food diet.
Have you ever looked at the nutritional values on certain foods? Take for example low fat yogurt. Low fat yogurt is supposed to be very good for you in a white food diet. After all you are eating low fat thus taking into account that there are foods that can make you gain weight based on the fat content. However, in actuality a white food diet would be avoiding yogurt. Yogurt is high in carbohydrates, even the low fat yogurt. It can have anywhere from 17 to 23 carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are fats and sugars. The sugars will burn up quickly in the white food diet, but the fats are actually stored. So, you need to avoid a lot of carbs in a white food diet if you want to lose weight. In a low carb diet you have plenty of options for avoiding the carbohydrates, but again if you look at the fat content the total fat might be higher in these low carb foods.
Take cheese as an example. In cheese you often have less than one percent carbohydrates, but total fat can be upwards of 5 percent or more. You could of course opt for a low fat cheese, which is a very good thing. There are numerous cheeses with low fat that are healthy for and that do not have high carbs. They are also high in protein.
Whole grain bread as opposed to white bread will have less carbs and fat, though the fat content can still be a bit high on the bread. The main point is that any diet you are on you should have something that is well balanced without heading for one food type more than another.

An El Niño event was officially declared in March 2015, gaining in intensity until it reached its peak in December 2015. The event came to an end in May 2016, becoming one the strongest on record, together with the El Niños of 1982-83 and 1997-98.
Borderline El Niño conditions were in place since mid-2014 but never fulfilled the required criteria. Nevertheless, significant El Niño like impacts were felt across the Globe.
The combination of these precursor El Niño-like impacts in the run-up to the main event, its high intensity and its long duration resulted in an extended period of extreme dryness at a near global scale, which had serious implications for the food security of large numbers of people around the globe.

I am a new consultant in international trade starting to offer my services to companies for import/export, market studies, outsourcing from China, international business development and more. As a consultant, I need to promote myself.
I would like to work on my personal branding by getting a profesional logo with my full name (See attachment).
I would like to be able to use it in different sizes or resolutions with the same quality.
No need for any big symbols before or after my name.
Just a great design with the characters of my name.
Confidence, profesionalism, corporate relationship, reliability, uniqueness.
With sober colors such as grey, black, white and touche(s) of punchy (brighter) colors.
The logo of accountant firms and lawyer firms are similar to what I want.
Thank you very much for your great work !
I mean, we keep the design exactly the same. It's good. And we add the design of a business card (with your design no 35) in the deal.
I am agree, let's discuss it in private msgs.
Dear digitalmind1 : As you're the first one that proposed me something at my expectations, I would like to propose you a deal. If you can include the design of great business cards (you teased me with No23), I buy your No35. I will tell you what are the informations I would like to put on the card. With a great design with red, grey and white colors on the card, I am sure you can easily do something awesome really nice looking !
Hi Greatdesign83 ! Your designs are great. But they just don't beat No 35. Thanks !
Even after modification and following my own requests, and other propositions, I am still in love with No35 of digitalmind1. We will see what happens, but it's a good one. By the way, thanks to everybody who proposed me something. It's very apreciated !
As the perfect proportion of black, grey and red.
It's the perfect mix of colors.
Instead of a separated object (the square), I would apreciate to get something more integrated in the name.
-Keep the name at the same place. Keep the red dot at the same place. Keep the right side of the square.
-Delete the 3 other sides of the square.
-Extend the right side of the square after the dot (lower). It eguals to add a little line lower than the red dot as a prolongation of the line.
-Then, we add a grey line below my last name.
-We extend this line on the left side of the dot.
ALSO : I hope I am not too demanding. Always wanting more and more, never satisfied. lol !
Hi everybody, thank you for your propositions. I deleted No 44, 45 and 46 for a lack of integration (please see the last post). Thanks.
You have the right proportion of red (good color) vs sober colors.
But honestly, it rocks. You're doing good job guys.
Up to now, digitalmind1your logo No 23 is hot !
It's really close to the vision I had initially.
This is slowly winning my heart. I like it. I hope to see more like this ! Really good !
You follow well my previous comment.
You added style with the 3 dots.
Include bright color (little) to attract the eyes, to make it attractive.
Style can be better with (different line, dot or marks).
I would get something more : Pure and Clear.
Hi everybody, your propositions ore great up to now. It's really apreciated.
We are definitly starting to go in the right direction with numbers 8, 9 and 10. Keep going on this way !

Novell Inc is now talking about its forthcoming Personal NetWare, saying that the first version of the entry-level networking product, known internally as BizQuick, the one for Microsoft Corp Windows users, will ship in the second quarter: other versions of Personal NetWare, tailored to the Macintosh, MS-DOS, OS/2 and Unix will follow later in the year and in 1994, the company told Dow Jones & Co; the software is expected to be sold on a per-copy basis and the company, which will give more details at a briefing for analysts next week, says that the product is designed to make it easier for users of personal computers to share documents, retrieve information from databases, exchange messages and connect to corporate computers via NetWare.


Hmmm, looks like the issue _does_ happen in recent versions of Prototype as well (in IEs only) if Scriptaclous is also on the page. (pretty common) (when prototype and scriptaculous come first).
We created $.noConflict to allow people to work with these other libraries, and since the fix here is just switching where code is executed, it seems like a good faith effort to make things easy for everyone.

AN: Thank you all so much for the overwhelming support! It is very deeply appreciated!
"So Zach is divorcing Kendall then?"
Rose rolled her eyes. Why did her grandmother and sister insist on discussing that insipid soap opera?
"Yes," Muriel answered. "He has the papers drawn up and everything. Today's episode was dedicated to him serving them to Kendall."
"Oh my God," Violet gasped.
Rose's glanced at the Santa poking his head out of the chimney. She couldn't help but notice that Violet refused to look at it. If Rose was a crueler person she would press the Santa down and watch it pop up. Violet's expression would be priceless.
Then again, it was the season for peace on earth and good will towards sisters. Better to leave her be.
"I wouldn't worry about Zach and Kendall," there was a spark in Muriel's eyes. "Kendall went to their deserted beach house, and Zach followed her. Right now, his car is broken down, and is blocking Kendall's garage."
Violet's expression was a mirror image of her grandma's "I guess they'll just have to spend Christmas together."
"They will," Muriel answered.
Rose glanced at the holly dangling from the chandeliers. Could this soap opera be any more cliched?
"You look like you're enjoying yourself."
Rose turned to her right. The boredom evaporated from her eyes. "Oh you know Victor, I do enjoy catching up on Stanley's Corner."
Victor held out a crimson plate stacked full of sugar cookies. "Don't tell me Grandma got you addicted to that soap opera."
"Do not worry," Rose replied. "I cherish my brain cells too much to ever consider voluntarily watching ten-seconds of that show."
"I'm glad to hear it," he answered. "If you ever expressed a tolerance for the show I'd have you committed to St. Mungo's, or at least check to make sure you weren't a polyjuiced Death Eater."
She chuckled. "I assure you, I am Rose Severa Snape, and am quite in my right mind."
"I am glad to hear it." He pressed the plate into her chest. "Go ahead and take a cookie."
"I am not particularly hungry for cookies at the moment."
"That's thestral dung and you know it."
He raised the plate until it was under her chin. "Mum put cinnamon in the icing, just how you like it."
Rose gave him a half smile and took a wreath cookie from the top of the pile.
Victor lowered the plate and grabbed a Santa cookie. "Thank you again for finding the Santa cookie cutter. I was afraid we would go without those cookies this year."
"It was no problem," Rose replied.
"How did you even know where to look for it?" Victor asked.
"It was just a hunch."
"Just a hunch?"
"Yes. I had a hunch that it was in the top right hand drawer, so I shared it with Mum."
"It was quite the hunch."
"Really, it was nothing special."
"Well, thanks all the same. The Santa cookies have always been my favorite."
"They taste like all the other Christmas cookies," Rose noted before taking a bite of her wreath.
"I don't know," Victor answered. "There's always been something special about the Santas."
"Why would you think that?" Rose asked before taking another bite.
"I think they are made with extra love."
"You only believe that because they are your favorite design."
"That's true, but I don't think that's the main reason," Victor answered. "I think it has more to do with Harry Potter than anything."
"Harry Potter?" Rose asked.
Victor nodded. "He gave Mum the Santa Christmas cookie cutter the Christmas before he died. At least that's what she told me."
"Harry Potter," Rose drawled as she envisioned her ghostly visitor levitating Dad's potions textbook.
"Anyway, thank you for finding it." Victor stuck the rest of the cookie in his mouth.
"Indeed," Rose finished her cookie.
"Here, take another one," Victor offered.
Rose reached for the plate.
"Victor! There you are!"
He glanced up. Rose froze.
Antlia rushed towards them. "Come to the doorway with me."
"Why?" he asked.
"Because Carina is there," Antlia giggled.
"So?"
"So she's waiting under the mistletoe for you."
Rose gave Victor a look. "Did Mum and Dad hang mistletoe this year?"
"I don't think they did," Victor drawled.
"No," Antlia's smirk was identical to that of Lucius. "But I may have hung some."
Before Victor could respond, Antlia grabbed his arm and began to drag him away. Rose leaned over and grabbed a Santa cookie. Then, she stared at it.
Were the Santa cookies all that different from the others and she had not noticed until now?
"No seriously, don't spoil me," Violet continued. "It's enough for me to know that there are rumors that Ryan may have switched the DNA results."
"I won't," Muriel replied. "But all the rumors are that the baby is Zach's after all."
Rose groaned before biting into her cookie. If she listened to any more of this drivel she would be driven to drink half of the remaining egg nog.
She sauntered towards the center of the room.
"Once I showed them your research, the German government believed everything."
Rose stopped.
"They will not be putting any of the squib cure into their water supply," Draco announced.
"That is a huge relief," Severus began.
Draco exhaled. "Indeed it is."
"You have almost single handedly saved Germany," Severus continued.
"I couldn't have done it alone," Draco replied. "You played an enormous role in helping me. If it wasn't for your research I would have been laughed right out of the Reichstag."
"True," Lucius answered. "But we needed a diplomat, and you were all that and more."
"Personally," Draco took a deep breath. "I could not be happier that the negotiations are over. It was stressful enough to keep everything under wraps, but knowing that they may not believe me and begin poisoning their own citizens was enough to keep me awake at night."
"I never had doubt that you could persuade them with the truth," Severus replied.
Draco took a sip of his egg nog.
"Indeed," Lucius answered. "I had every confidence that you could do it."
"Thank you," Draco had a slight blush.
"How soon will word get out about the German's decision?" Lucius asked.
Severus took a sip of Gluhwein from a blue boot shaped glass.
"They wanted to wait until after the New Year so that as many people know about it as possible. In their words, 'we can't allow the Ministry to sweep this under the rug by focusing everyone's attention on the holidays,'" Draco replied.
"No, they cannot," Lucius answered.
"I promised that I would not say anything until after they released their findings," Draco replied. "Still, I will have Victor working on the announcement over the break so we can release it as soon as possible."
"That is great to hear," Severus replied.
"Indeed it is," Lucius scanned the room. "Where is your speech writer anyway?"
Draco craned his neck and hummed. "I don't know. I saw him standing over there, but he must have run off somewhere."
"He is in the doorway," Rose interrupted
The men turned to her.
"Excuse me?" Draco asked.
Rose pointed in the direction of the doorway. All eyes then fell on the kissing couple in front of them.
Severus scowled. "I told you not to hang mistletoe anywhere near my house."
Lucius smirked. "I didn't hang that sprig of mistletoe."
"Then who did?" Severus asked.
From across the room, Antlia winked.
Lucius winked back.
Severus exhaled, "Of course she did."
"She's my little genius," Lucius bragged.
"Somebody better go over and make sure that isn't enchanted," Draco began. "The last thing we need is another incident."
"Oh come on," Lucius began. "Let the girl have her fun."
Draco frowned. "As I recall we allowed you to have some fun one year with the mistletoe. It took us an entire hour to get Rose out from under it, and she was bawling the entire time because Scorpius refused to kiss her."
Rose darted off. There was no need to dwell on her eight year old self screaming for her best friend to give her a peck on the cheek.
"Oh they can be fun this time of year."
Rose stopped and turned to her left. Speaking of the devil…
"So I told that student I was more than happy to give her an exceeds expectation, provided she could point out her in-text citations." Scorpius held a star cookie in one hand and a glass of egg nog in the other. "I didn't hear a word from her for the rest of the week."
Ginevra shook her head. "I swear you get the worst students."
"I don't know," Scorpius replied. "They haven't charmed my desk shut or performed a bat bogey hex on me. I've heard that under the right circumstances, that can happen to a professor"
Ginevra blushed. "I suppose it would be rather rude of someone to do that."
"It would be," Scorpius took a bite of his cookie.
"Are you looking for the egg nog table as well?"
Rose turned to her right and smiled. "Hello Grandpa."
He limped towards her.
Rose frowned. "You need to use your cane more. It would be easier for you to walk if you did so."
"I'm fine," he replied before finishing his Santa cookie. "My leg feels great right now."
"Still, if you feel any discomfort…"
"You'll brew me a potion to help ease my pain."
Rose's smile returned. "For you, I would."
Wilford took her hand. "I'm really glad you were able to make it. Your grandma and I were wondering if you planned on coming."
"Why would I not come?" Rose asked.
"I don't know," Wilford replied. "The way your parents were talking though, it sounded like you wanted to cancel Christmas."
"I suppose I was rather irate earlier in the month," Rose admitted.
"Nobody could blame you for being upset with everything that's happened."
"Perhaps."
Grandpa Wilford lowered his voice. "How are you feeling now?"
Rose swallowed. "I will not lie, it is still difficult to wrap my mind around what has happened this past month. Yet, I think I am coming to grips with everything."
"I cannot imagine what you're going through," Wilford replied.
"I will survive it," Rose answered.
He rubbed her hand. "Well, just always know that we love you. Regardless of what you're going through, everyone in this room will love and support you."
Rose choked. "Thank you Grandpa."
"Excuse me Rose." Hermione rushed past her daughter and called, "Severus?"
He turned his attention to her, "What is it Love?"
"The elves say that dinner will be ready in ten minutes and," her eyes widened. "Is that mistletoe?"
Severus furrowed his eyebrows. "Unfortunately yes."
"Who hung it?" Hermione asked.
"Antlia," Severus answered. "Fortunately, Draco is taking it down for us."
Draco motioned for Orion to come to him. The boy set down his toy truck and obeyed. Draco said a few words to him before grabbing him and raising him. Orion batted at the air until he had a firm grasp on the mistletoe. Then, he tugged at it until it was firmly in his grasp.
"You know, you've never kissed me under the mistletoe," Hermione noted.
"Why ever would I want to kiss you under the mistletoe?" Severus asked before taking a sip of his Gluhwein.
"I don't know," Hermione replied. "It just seems romantic."
"Love," Severus purred. "I do not need mistletoe to be romantic."
Before she could get another word in, Severus crashed his lips into hers.
Grandpa Wilford snickered while Rose released his hand.
"They really are sickening sweethearts," she muttered.
"True," he caught his breath. "But it warms my heart to know that my baby girl has someone who will treat her well. In the end, that's all I ever wanted for her, to have a loving family."
"Indeed," Rose's lips curled up. "We are indeed a loving family."
"No Orion," Draco called. "Don't run around with that."
"Why not?" Orion asked.
"Because you might get kissed if you hang it over your head," Antlia called.
"Yuck!" he threw it to the ground.
Rose's smile grew.
There really was no Christmas like a Snape Christmas.


Hobart has huge potential to cut emissions, but it could do with more support from the state government.
There are times in the climate space when things go right. That doesn't happen often enough, but when it does it's a good feeling, and I felt it at an event in Hobart last week.
For reasons I'm not fully across, local government in Tasmania has responded much better to the climate question than higher levels of government. That could be because it's not dominated by party politics, or maybe it's more in touch with the physical world and grassroots sentiment.
As the capital and largest city with a big ratepayer base, Hobart is expected to be a leader in local government across the state. In 2000 it became the first Tasmanian council to develop a climate strategy, and is now in the process of preparing a third version.
Hobart already has achievements in this space. It traps methane from landfill to make electricity and rewards effort in waste reduction. It developed a home energy audit toolkit now in use across Tasmania, and heads up a regional bulk buy scheme yielding big savings in household energy use.
Multiple schemes to save energy have put the city administration firmly on track to easily beat its target for the decade to 2020 of 35 per cent less energy consumed and 17 per cent lower emissions.
All this is due to the effort of some talented and dedicated staff and a strongly supportive council, shifting the inertia that always bedevils changes in direction. But there is much more to be done.
Last week the City of Hobart hosted a series of forums for stakeholders in the strategy, inviting comment on its climate change response and carbon footprint, organised by Katrina Graham, who manages the city's climate program.
The session I attended saw an almost palpable spirit of cooperation, with suggestions coming thick and fast. People seemed grateful for the chance to get things off their chest, and for an organisation that looks as if it means business.
While some other capitals – Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra come to mind – have had some notable success in emissions-cutting measures and preparing for climate change, the stand-out in Australia, in terms of both ambition and achievement, is Adelaide.
Adelaide has good reason to pay attention to climate. Already the driest of Australian capitals, it is exceptionally vulnerable to global warming. It has recently experienced many consecutive summers with heatwaves above 40C. Its 10 warmest years on record have all been since 2002.
Adelaide City's impressive string of achievements since 2001 include 24 per cent more energy-efficiency in buildings, a rapidly-expanding tram network, doubling of the number of cyclist and, when population and economy grew by nearly 30 per cent, cutting emissions by 20 per cent.
That's in a state which, having previously relied almost exclusively on coal-fired power, now derives almost half its electricity from renewable wind and solar. Solar is on the rooftops of one in four homes in South Australia, which also has 35 per cent of Australia's installed wind capacity.
To top it off, on Friday the state added a new weapon to its impressive arsenal – switching on a 120 megawatt-hour battery – the world's biggest – at Hornsdale wind farm. The Tesla array's instant response capacity will help provide much-needed stability during fluctuating power supplies.
Hobart lacks Adelaide's trams, its topography isn't as friendly for cyclists, and it doesn't have a state government pushing it every step of the way.
But given the huge advantage over Adelaide delivered by a hydro system making up around 90 per cent of the city's electricity, there's every reason why Hobart should join the challenge of a carbon-neutral city. And why shouldn't that be extended to the whole state?
0The South Australian experience teaches us that progress doesn't happen in a vacuum. Ineffective and largely incoherent federal policies compromise all local measures, but Adelaide's initiatives at least have the benefit of a state government with strong complementary policies solidly behind it.
A big question mark hanging over the Hobart stakeholder forum I attended was the role of other levels of government, especially in this case the state government.
Emissions from cars, trucks and buses, for instance, present a major obstacle to a city becoming carbon-neutral. It requires real effort from everyone, but it won't be effective without heavy lifting from above.
For many years, capable council officers and public servants have served with great distinction in strengthening energy resilience in their respective institutions. A focal point since 2008 has been the exceptional effort to lift government's game by people of the Tasmanian Climate Change Office.
The same can be said of the utterly admirable work of Hobart and other local administrations, but this gets scant attention from their political superiors. We urgently need the challenges these people face daily brought into the mainstream of government.
There is to be a Tasmanian election next year, probably in March. On February 14, people of Hobart will have a chance to air views about their city's future at Town Hall community forums.
As well as helping to put Hobart on the path to carbon neutrality, that will be a fine chance for citizens to explore the missing link in our island community's response to the climate challenge.

The Economic Development Board (EDB) is hosting an 8-member delegation from the Lesotho National Development Corporation (LNDC) led by Mr Sekete Pholohlo, General Manager of Investment and Trade Promotion for a two-day study tour from 14th to 15th November 2018.
The objective of this study tour is to learn about the Economic Development Board, gain insights & technical knowledge as well as understand the Mauritian context and investment landscape. It should be highlighted that the LNDC has undergone an organizational restructuring similar to the EDB in October 2016.
During the working session organised this morning, Mr. Vinay Guddye, Head of Department at EDB showcased a presentation on the successful diversification of Mauritius from a monocrop to an innovation-based economy. He has also emphasized the performance of Mauritius in the 2019 World Bank Doing Business which has ranked Mauritius 20th globally and leader in sub-Saharan Africa. Different avenues of cooperation have also been discussed including doing business, Occupation Permits and the Africa Strategy. The working session also provided an opportunity to draw lessons from challenges faced at various stages of the evolution of the institution.
As a reminder, the LNDC, operates under the aegis of the Ministry of Trade and Industry, Cooperatives and Marketing of the Government of Lesotho, is mandated to implement the country's industrial development policies. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Mutual Cooperation was signed between the Ex Board of Investment (BOI) and the LNDC on 17th February 2015.
The study tour has provided a unique opportunity to consolidate economic ties between the two countries and create a framework for cooperation, consultation and exchange of information between both entities.
