Georgia State investigators and Milledgeville police have completed their month-long probe of sexual assault allegations against Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Ocmulgee Judicial Court District Attorney, Frederic D. Bright, said on Wednesday he is reviewing the findings, but would not say when he might decide whether charges should be filed. Everyone keep your fingers crossed.
Steelers will bring in Idaho G Mike Iupati, Florida C Maurkice Pouncey, South Carolina DL Clifton Geathers, East Carolina DL Linval Joseph, South Florida WR Carlton Mitchell & Arizona TE Rob Gronkowski for pre draft visits today. This brings the tally to 25 total of players that have visited the South Side of the allowed 30 visits.
The older brother of Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall, Walter Mendenhall, was signed by the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday. Walter is a long shot to make the roster, but we wish him well and hope he does not spin like Rashard does.
Do you remember Dallas Baker? He actually saw time on the Steelers active roster during the 2008 season after being drafted in the seventh round of the 2007 NFL Draft. He played college football at Florida and yesterday was signed by the Jacksonville Sharks of the Arena Football League.
A new Steelers book is due to be published this September by Gotham Books. The book is entitled, The Ones Who Hit The Hardest: The Steelers, the Cowboys, the \'70s and the Fight for America\'s Soul, and was written by Chad Millman and Shawn Coyne. ESPN has an excerpt from the book that centers around great defensive lineman, Ernie Holmes.
New Steelers safety Will Allen talks about about joining the Steelers and working out with his new teammates. Allen talks about the free agent process and why he chose the Steelers. He discusses his relationship with Mike Tomlin.

Her eyes radiate in natural light and when she laughs, we do everything to capture it because it's so sincere. She has gentle presence about her and we made and effort to capture all sides of her. Such a beauty!

Oppo Launches R7 Lite And R7 Plus Smartphones In India
By Kishalaya Kundu September 02, 2015, 5:45am
A couple of new smartphones from Oppo will now be available for purchase in India. The Chinese manufacturer has reportedly launched its R7 Lite and R7 Plus smartphones in the country at Rs. 17,990 ($270) and Rs. 29,990 ($450) respectively. Both phones run on Android 5.1 Lollipop in the form of Oppo's proprietary Color OS ROM, and will reportedly come in two color options - gold and silver. While the R7 Lite will be up for grabs from September 10th, the R7 Plus will reportedly be made available September 25th onwards, according to reports. The phones were launched in China earlier this year, and Oppo is expected to continue their global rollout in the weeks and months to follow.
Coming to what the devices bring in terms of hardware, the R7 Lite features a 5-inch 720p AMOLED 2.5D Curved Screen with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The device is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 615 chipset, which has an embedded octa-core, 64-bit CPU clocked at 1.3 GHz and an Adreno 405 GPU. The handset also comes with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage out of the box, with a hybrid dual SIM / microSD card slot. The phone carries a 2,320 mAh battery with VOOC Rapid Charge, and supports 4G LTE connectivity, alongside 3G, WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and USB OTG. As for the cameras, the Oppo R7 Lite sports a 13-megapixel rear camera (Sony IMX214 sensor) with LED Flash and an f/2.2 aperture. The front camera comes with an 8-megapixel sensor with an f/2.4 aperture.
As for the larger and more premium R7 Plus, the smartphone features a rather large 6-inch 1080p AMOLED 2.5D Curved Screen with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset, which includes an octa-core, 64-bit CPU clocked at 1.3 GHz and an Adreno 405 GPU.

I was on the planning commission of my hometown for many years and we never had a problem distinguishing between a manufactured HUD trailer and a modular home. Our criteria involved whether the home had motor vehicle registration and a was built to HUD specs or if it was built to state housing codes. It would seem very easy.
Now we go to Waverly, PA, located in the heart of the modular industry in Pennsylvania along the Susquehanna River and you would think that everyone there would know the difference. Tons of people in the area work for one of the dozen or so modular factories located within easy driving distance but you'd be wrong. I realize that their zoning hasn't been updated since 1988 but come on, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to know the difference.
It seems that the local planning board can't tell the difference between the two types and that just boggles my mind. If they can't tell the difference, how in the name of all things obvious can the typical home buyer. The board has put a moratorium on new manufactured and modular homes until they finish their research and vote on it at their October 4th meeting.
I really can't do the story justice, so CLICK HERE to read why they are confused.
I think that the zoning board will have their hands full with all the housing permits that are going to hit them after the flood recedes. FEMA will ship them trailers and the whole county will look like a trailer park.
If I were a gambling man, I would say it is Waverly, New York, not Pennsylvania.

The rectangular rug belongs to the group of so-called 'bird' rugs. These rugs are distinguished by their cream white ground and by their use of mainly warm, earthy hues – yellow, red and brown – contrasted with small areas of blue and greenish-blue. The design of the rug is divided into a central field and a border. The significant motif of the design, which gives it its name, is a shape resembling a stylised double-headed bird, always with four birds arranged around a large blossom forming the repetitive design of the central field. The areas between them are filled with a standardised motif composed of a central rosette and four blossoms on stems. Additional small rosettes and whirling motifs are set between the large blossoms and the birds of the horizontal lines. The framed border has cloud-bands, which are connected to each other by arabesques.
This rug, however, shows a peculiarity which distinguishes it from the usual style of bird rugs. In the middle of the rug is a nearly square field showing a coat of arms and a mitre. The inscription underneath names the person for whom the rug was probably made, Archbishop Johannes Andreas Próchnicki. Próchnicki was Latin archbishop of Lemberg from 1614 until his death in 1633. It is assumed that the Armenians of Lemberg who had close connections with Istanbul helped Próchnicki to obtain this rug. That it was an order is evident from some illegible letters within the inscription. It is also interesting to know that some of the preserved Persian carpets commissioned by an Armenian of Lemberg on behalf of the Polish King Sigismund III in 1601/02 in Kashan also show a middle square including the king's coat of arms.
In 1704 the Swedish King Charles XII (1682–1718) conquered Lemberg. We can assume that the rug was part of the booty of this war. Afterwards, the rug is supposed to have been the property of a noble Swedish family for about 200 years before it was sold to the collectors Axel and Nora Lundgren in 1937.
View Short Description
Rectangular rug from the group of so-called 'bird' rugs. The significant motif is a shape resembling a stylised double-headed bird. The unusual field in the middle of this rug contains a coat of arms and a mitre. This rug was probably made for J. A. Próchnicki, archbishop of Lemberg 1614–33.
Original Owner:
Johannes Andreas Próchnicki (d. 1633), Latin archbishop of Lemberg (Poland)
How date and origin were established:
The inscription in the central field of the rug refers to Johannes Andreas Próchnicki who was archbishop of Lemberg from 24 November 1614 until his death in 1633.
How Object was obtained:
Gift from the estate of Axel and Nora Lundgren, registered in 1977.
How provenance was established:
So-called bird rugs with cream-white grounds are usually assigned to Ushak in west Turkey. Furthermore, after the fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans in 856 / 1453 there was a brisk trade with the Armenians of Lemberg. The predecessor of Johannes Andreas Próchnicki had bought 20 rugs in Constantinople to embellish the cathedral of Lemberg.

Bury took the lead twice with well-taken goals, but couldn't finish off a Bournemouth side who kept bouncing back.
The Shakers first took the lead with a well-worked goal, with Peter Sweeney passing through to Matt Doherty whose cross was volleyed into the net by Troy Hewitt.
Bournemouth hit back in the second half as Lewis Grabban poked home, but David Worrall answered with a cheeky finish of his own soon after.
The away side broke Bury's heart as the clock ran down, with substitute Brett Pitman catching Ethan Ebanks-Landell in possession and curling the ball home.
Simon Francis carved open the Bury defence on 12 minutes, crossing low to meet the feet of Lewis Grabban, but his shot from in front of goal went just wide.
GOAL! Bury took the lead in style on 14 minutes – a pin point cross from Matt Doherty on the right found Troy Hewitt in the right place to volley the ball home, leaving David James with no chance.
A looping header from Hewitt in the middle of park saw Tom Hopper run onto the ball on 34 minutes, but he was brought down on the edge of the box by Miles Addison, who went into the referee's book for his troubles.
The free kick was nudged to Peter Sweeney by Zac Thompson, before Sweeney swung the ball towards goal, forcing James to tip the ball out for a corner.
Bury were inches from extending their lead on 40 minutes, thanks to a corner on the right which met the head of Doherty, but his strong effort struck the post.
Bury were destined to face a Bournemouth penalty on 54 minutes, after the referee pointed to the spot after seeing an apparent handball. After consulting with his assistant on the far side, the referee changed his mind, giving the away side a corner.
GOAL! The away side claimed an equaliser on 59 minutes, after Charlie Daniels crossed the ball for Lewis Grabban to stroke over the line at the far post.
The game turned into an end-to-end contest following the equaliser, with Bury going close before Bournemouth had a chance from Addison cleared off the line by David Worrall on 65 minutes.
GOAL! Worrall pushed Bury into the lead on 78 minutes with a cheeky finish – after making space for himself on the right of the box, he squeezed in between the last defender and James to neatly poke the ball over the line.
A dangerous Bournemouth corner on 81 minutes caused chaos in the Bury box, forcing another clearance on the line to keep Bury's lead.
GOAL! Bournemouth brought the game level for the second time as the fourth official announced there would be five added minutes. Ethan Ebanks-Landell was caught in possession and Brett Pitman took the ball from him, curling it out of Trevor Carson's reach.
Five minutes of added time failed to reap rewards for either side, despite Marc Pugh rattling the cross bar from distance.


An essential component of doing business is costing corporations upward of $75 billion annually, according to a 2018 NewVoiceMedia study. So what concept of business practiced every day by all companies is causing enterprises to hemorrhage this kind of money? Customer service.
As the most identifiable and necessary component of any business, customer service can adversely affect sales when conducted poorly. One need only to implement a plan of action that best caters to customers' needs and desires in order to improve customer support.
To do so, here are three of the latest marketing strategies that can help elevate the customer service efforts for big businesses and enterprises.
Customers feel unique and appreciated when a company provides them with a personalized experience. Today, a returning customer can have an entirely different experience visiting your website than a visitor who's checking out your site for the first time. This results in the ability over time to provide more personalized content, and that content then helps to increase the relevance of a marketing message.
Companies can also use personalization tactics through marketing channels such as email. Custom blocks and advanced audience segmentation can be utilized to customize emails, creating a unique and relevant experience for the customer and making them feel appreciated.
Companies with big customer bases face the difficult challenge of providing quality customer service without staffing a living and breathing customer service team.
The days of a live person on the other end of the phone have gone, and though many customers prefer speaking to a live agent when calling a customer service line, cloud call centers and chatbots now rule the roost, leaving businesses with the task of addressing the growing need for a modern customer service platform for large companies.
In the not-so-distant past, IVR systems used prerecorded voice prompts to deliver information and options to callers, and touch-tone phone keypad entry to collect responses. These are the antiquated, robotic voices customers came to despise. Modern IVR systems, however, are more advanced and enable input and responses to be gathered via spoken words with voice recognition.
IVR systems also enable users to retrieve information on their own, like bank balances, flight schedules, product details, order status and so on. It's not a live human being, but it is more responsive and capable than systems of the past, and IVRs cannot be accused of being rude.
SEO is now more than just the popularity and rating of search engine results. It has become a customer service tool.
Google records and juxtaposes the location of a user to the locations of local stores, products and services. This simple act of acquainting customers to the services and products they need — and in the places they need them — leads , once again, to an appreciative and an appreciated customer.
All things considered, due to the many working parts of large businesses and corporations, maintaining quality customer service can be a difficult task. But if businesses stay the course instead of evaluating their customer service practices, poor customer service will continue to cost these enterprises billions. Ultimately. forward-thinking companies will take action to enhance the personalization of the customer experience, utilize IVR systems, and use local SEO to boost the quality of their corporate customer service.


How much can a court reporter make?
According to the Occupational Employment Statistics website (http://www.bls.gov/oes) the average annual salary for court reporters is $52,460.
How long will it take to complete the Mark Kislingbury Academy of Court Reporting Program?
The course outline is set up for students to complete the program in 2 years or less, as compared to most court reporting schools that can take at least 3-5 years to graduate.

Tuition is $1500.00 per quarter. And for convenience, we will accept monthly payments of $500 (for as long as you are enrolled in the school). The cost is only a little more than $28.00 per day (based on 54 school days per quarter).
Costs of uniforms, books, steno machines and supplies will vary. Please call or come into our office regarding lease programs for steno machines and books offered through the school.
We do not accept student loans at this time. However, we think you will find our quarterly tuition very affordable as it is less than half as much as many other schools charge.
What will I learn at the Mark Kislingbury Academy of Court Reporting?
This program will fully prepare you to pass the state and national tests that may be required in certain venues, such as Certified Shorthand Reporter (CSR) and Registered Professional Reporter (RPR).
The principal occupational skills that will be taught on-site include using machine shorthand to write literary dictation at speeds up to 180 words per minute, jury charge dictation at speeds up to 200 words per minute, and question-and-answer testimony in legal settings at speeds up to 225 words per minute, all at a minimum of 95% accuracy.
You will receive advanced schooling in English vocabulary and usage, punctuation, proofreading and editing skills, current events, as well as law, legal and medical terminology.
What kind of person makes a good court reporter?
Although it is hard to narrow down, the best court reporters are sharp individuals who are strong in English and quick with their fingers. Playing a musical instrument, typing fast or excelling at video games may also be an indicator of court reporting talent.
What if I do not live in Texas?
You can view classes online. You can complete the Court Reporting Program online, but we do not provide transcripts. The cost for online participants is $250.00 or $300.00, depending on the option you choose, (please refer to the Online Participation section), for court reporters and existing students who have completed Theory and $500.00 for new students who have not completed their Theory classes.
How Will Attending Your Academy Help Build My Speed?
At the Mark Kislingbury Academy of Court Reporting we focus not only on increasing your speed, but also your accuracy.
We train you to increase your speed by teaching you how to move your fingers faster, initially at all costs, even sacrificing accuracy, in order to improve your ability to record strokes faster.
We teach you how to get a stroke for everything and to not drop any strokes at all.
We teach you how to keep up with the speaker at all times and at all costs, even a stroke, so that you never lag behind the speaker.
We teach you how to always form the right stroke based on your own personal ability. We teach you how to "feel" yourself approximating the stroke, even if it is not 100% right.
We teach you how to stay focused and give all of your concentration to the speaker and what he is saying at all times.
Will Attending Your Academy Also Help Increase My Control?
As well as training you how to increase your speed, you will also be increasing your control at each level of higher speed you attain.
There is no real way to "practice" for control. What happens is, as you practice at higher speeds, this automatically gives you better control at lower speeds. The overall faster speed you can form strokes at, the more control you will have the lower speeds.
Does Your Academy Teach Reading Back?
Every court reporter should be good at reading back and this takes practice. Although reading back in no way helps increase writing speed, you need to practice it and become good at it. We will teach you how to read back at a good pace and how to practice to keep that pace.


Hastings is an historic town in the county of East Sussex, made famous for its connection with the battle of Hasting in 1066, although the actual site of the battle was Senlac Hill. Hastings was once a significant port, but its main industry is now mainly fishing and tourism.
Hastings is a town in East Sussex, famous for its connection with the battle of Hasting in 1066, although the actual site of the battle was Senlac Hill, some 8 miles north of Hastings.
The castle in the town became the headquarters of William the Conqueror. However, most of Hastings Castle was lost to sea erosion with the only parts to remain being the Arch and underground dungeons.
Hastings is an attractive town with fine architecture and a very well conserved Old Town. Once a significant port, its main industry now is fishing and tourism.
Some of the most famous and significant tourist attractions in Hasting include; Hastings Castle, the St Clements Caves, Hastings Museum & Art Gallery, and Hastings Country Park.
Bed and Breakfasts featured on this site provide high quality lodgings and an excellent base from which to explore the tourist attractions of Hastings area.


Scores of adoring children, beaming tourists and proud residents flocked to the shores of North Sound on Sunday in Grand Cayman to support the latest instalment of replenishment efforts for turtle stocks in territorial waters after centuries of overfishing drove the iconic species to the brink of extinction.
Coinciding with its normal place on the calendar during the annual national festival of Pirates Week – although occurring a week late due to poor sea conditions – visitors and residents in the Cayman Islands took turns releasing 150 yearling and advanced hatchling green sea turtles beneath sunny afternoon skies during the 32nd annual release by the Cayman Turtle Farm.
Last weekend's event featured the largest number of turtles released in years, as the breeding farm facility and major tourist attraction in West Bay reported a record number of eggs laid and an increased hatching rate. One by one, and in steady succession, captive-bred farm-raised turtles were off-loaded from a truck that delivered them from the Turtle Farm to the beach adjacent to North Sound Golf Club and then carried to water's edge by eager participants and placed in the sand to be taken into the warm Western Caribbean Sea by the surf.
"Standing here at the seaside, releasing a fresh group, is the ultimate expression of the Cayman Turtle Farm's conservation mission," said Tim Adam, managing director of the Cayman Turtle Farm: Island Wildlife Encounter. "As these baby turtles cross the sand, enter the water and start new lives in the sea – it is an awesome moment that gives us hope for the future. Hope that the wild population will continue to grow and flourish with our help.
"With releases such as this one, the Cayman Turtle Farm is boosting native stocks and helping to rebuild a wildlife population that in the past had become almost completely depleted," he said.
The yearlings were fitted with micro transponders encased in a glass housing about the size of a large grain of rice. These electronic tags are injected under the skin and can be detected with a scanner. These and other types of tags allow researchers around the world to identify individual animals and better understand migration and nesting patterns.
As part of the programme, turtles are quarantined and reviewed for any disease or defect before release, Mr. Adam said. Yearlings also take part in a process known as "headstarting", which prepares them for life in their natural habitat by replicating conditions in the wild prior to release.
Since 1980, the Cayman Turtle Farm's release programme has placed more than 31,000 green sea turtles into the wild in an effort to help replenish a vastly diminished population of reproducing turtles. Hundreds of years ago, the Cayman Islands supported a huge green sea turtle rookery and one of the largest populations of the species in the Caribbean.
Turtle fishing later came to form the basis of the local economy and culture of the Cayman Islands by providing a rich food source and a means of livelihood for many for centuries. But the level of fishing was ultimately unsustainable and the once abundant numbers of turtles dwindled to merely a shell of their former selves, though exact figures of those remaining are hard to come by.
The Turtle Farm hasn't been without its critics though – especially of late.
The Florida-based Sea Turtle Conservancy and the London-headquartered World Society for the Protection of Animals have urged the Cayman Turtle Farm in recent months to stop farming a species designated as endangered. Critics also say there is limited evidence that the release programme has helped grow turtle populations over the years and suggest releasing farmed turtles could pass on diseases to the species in the wild.
Earlier this year, WSPA released a scathing investigation claiming the Turtle Farm had failed to meet baseline welfare criteria by citing video and photographs purporting to show turtles in overcrowded and dirty tanks, as well as turtles missing fins, sporting various injuries, and even one left blind by congenital defects. The advocacy group maintains that some of the sea turtles have resorted to cannibalism in their enclosures and may pose threats to humans by potentially passing on E coli, salmonella and enterococci to visitors who handle and interact with the creatures at the tourist facility.
Moreover, the Turtle Farm has come under increasing pressure within the Cayman Islands as many residents have grown concerned over a business model that has operated in the red for several years and requires millions of dollars of recurring government subsidies to remain afloat.
In response to the welfare advocacy groups' claims, Turtle Farm officials say it only releases healthy turtles into the wild and is adamant the facility follows internationally accepted animal husbandry practices. The Turtle Farm also has agreed to undergo an independent evaluation next month.
Nevertheless, those issues were far from the forefront during the release as smiles and laughs were aplenty and the order of the day was clearly on boosting the declining numbers of sea turtles. Today, according to the Department of Environment, there are fewer than 30 adult female green sea turtles nesting in the Cayman Islands each year. Recent studies by the Cayman Turtle Farm of satellite-tagged released turtles show them adapting well to their new habitat and roaming widely throughout the Caribbean region.
Since Hurricane Michelle decimated nearly 80 per cent of the Cayman Turtle Farm's breeding stock in 2001, the farm has been working to grow its turtle population and is reaching the point where increased numbers of turtles may be released into the wild.
This weekend's release was just the latest high-profile effort by the farm to help foster growth and research of a species whose legacy features so prominently in the Cayman Islands – in its currency, national seal and flag, to name a few.
In June, the Turtle Farm released a 60-year-old, 600-pound male dubbed "Sir Thomas Turtleton" who had been part of the facility's breeding stock for three decades to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee. Sir Thomas Turtleton was the second member of the farm's "Tag and Track" release programme which was inaugurated in February with the release of a captive-bred juvenile named "Jerry", the facility's first satellite-tracked turtle.
A year ago, 50 green sea turtles, including hatchlings – 3 months old and younger – were released during the Pirates Week festivities. Prior to that, during recent years the farm has released 10 to 15 juvenile turtles.
"Through our conservation efforts, the Cayman Turtle Farm is making a difference here and in the world around us, and that is something all of Cayman can be proud of," Mr. Adam said.
Adults and children alike had no problem enjoying the event.

Jones hopes Saracens scandal can act as uniting force for England team
Eddie Jones and captain Owen Farrell want to focus on England duty (Steven Paston/PA)
Eddie Jones plans to use the salary cap scandal that has engulfed Saracens as a galvanising force for England's Six Nations campaign - with the help of some Portuguese beer.
The double winners have been relegated for exceeding the GBP7million ceiling for player wages for 2019-20, having already been given a 35-point deduction and fined GBP5.36million for being guilty of the same offence in the previous three seasons.
It has thrown the club futures of England's seven-strong Saracens contingent into doubt given 12 months in the Championship looms.
Jones will oversee crisis talks when the squad arrives in the Algarve for their pre-Six Nations training camp on Thursday to address any resentment among players from rival clubs, but is confident divisions will be avoided.
"Portuguese beer will help. It will be a matter of just getting the issues on the table, having a good chat and then just spending time with each other. Time is a big thing," Jones said.
"You build better relationships when you have got time. We have got a short amount of time before we start our Test match preparation and the key is going to be using that time really wisely.
"This is a massive opportunity. For the players, coming to England is the best thing for them. What do they love doing? Playing rugby.
"Who do they love playing for? Their club, well they're not playing for their club, they're playing for their country, who they love playing for.
"It's the best thing for them. And then for the rest of the team it is an opportunity to get tighter."
At the centre of the discussions on Thursday will be Owen Farrell, England's respected captain and the Saracens playmaker.
Farrell is uncertain what atmosphere to expect from other players when the World Cup runners-up gather to begin preparations for the Six Nations, which opens against France on February 2.
"We don't know yet, we have not met up as a team. We will see in the next few days," said Farrell, who was speaking for the first time Saracens' relegation was announced.
"We will be honest and up front about it and we will come through it and get on with what's in front of us.
"I don't think it will be difficult for me at all. We're excited to get into camp and get on with the rugby."
Ireland head coach Andy Farrell discussed the situation with his son Owen at Wednesday's Six Nations launch.
"I've just had a protein bowl with Owen and a coffee," Farrell said.
"As far as players are concerned, they have a lot of ups and downs to deal with every week.
"You always get judged on your performance. This is something that players need to deal with.
"When you make the change into another environment, I think that's going to be really refreshing. I see Eddie using it to galvanise England a little bit as well."

Ambitions for venture capital in agriculture – once the Next Big Thing – are foundering
The Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania  (SAGCOT), one of ex-President Jakaya Kikwete's favourite projects, touted globally as a radical policy to support smallholders while promoting foreign venture capital investment in the sector, is in deep trouble after the government cancelled the US$47 million Matching Grant Fund (MGF). The facility aimed to match private investment with public funds and was backed by a World Bank loan worth $70m, which the Bank is now withdrawing on the government's request.
Officially, the government has stressed the primacy of the private sector as the driver of economic growth, agriculture included, for many years. SAGCOT seemed to dovetail nicely with Kilimo Kwanza ('Agriculture First'), Kikwete's pro-private sector agriculture policy launched in 2009. But President John Magufuli's agricultural policy has turned towards a continued heavy state presence and although the government signed up to SAGCOT willingly, the programme has suffered from institutional reluctance to embrace free market ideas as well as the influence of special interests. The government's decision to ask the World Bank to discontinue the MGF came after protracted wrangling over how the fund was supposed to function, with the result that no grants were ever made.
Last year it became clear, according to Thomas Herlehy, team leader of the MGF, who resigned in January, that 'The government does not want to make matching grants to private sector agribusinesses.'
Impossible request
The government wanted to change the MGF from a grant scheme to a loan-based scheme. According to Herlehy, it also insisted that any fixed assets which investors would purchase would, at some future date, be transferred to local rural district councils, which would somehow hold the property on behalf of smallholders. This was never possible because the proposed changes fell outside the terms of the financing agreement the government signed with the Bank in June 2016. When the Bank pointed this out, the government requested the project's cancellation, which is unprecedented in this field.
Launched to much fanfare at the World Economic Forum in Davos in 2010, SAGCOT was an ambitious public-private partnership designed to attract global agribusiness investors to a huge swathe of Tanzania's most fertile land. SAGCOT's investment blueprint envisioned putting 350,000 hectares under production, creating 420,000 jobs and potential farming revenues of $1.2 billion by 2030. The project was close to the heart of former President Kikwete, who dubbed SAGCOT 'Kilimo Kwanza in action' (AC Vol 54 No 24, Concern over contract-farming).
SAGCOT was initially conceived as a venture capital fund designed to finance early growth and expansion stages of high-risk small and medium enterprises with outgrower or contract farming arrangements. World Bank involvement turned the investment component into a 'matching grant' scheme in which investors would be reimbursed for their capital outlays.
The endorsement of agribusinesses such as the United States multinational Monsanto (since bought by Germany's Bayer), Norway's agrochemical giant Yara International, and the Gates Foundation together with the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), aroused opposition from international and local NGOs. They were against genetically modified organisms and accused foreign investors of 'land grabbing' and displacing smallholders. The United Kingdom, Norway, the UN Development Programme, the US Agency for International Development, and others bought into the project, but with their involvement came greater complexity and institutional problems, sources close to the project told Africa Confidential. The original venture capital fund model had turned into a multi-donor programme, which massively increased the bureaucracy and made 'ownership' of the programme by Tanzanian public institutions difficult.
Although President Magufuli has scrapped a number of President Kikwete's pet projects, including Big Results Now! (BRN), he appeared to endorse SAGCOT, visiting last year the Ihemi Cluster, one of several zones within the SAGCOT area treated as units for inward investment. He was accompanied by SAGCOT Centre boss Geoffrey Kirenga. Enthusiastic MPs called on SAGCOT to come to their constituencies.
Some experts familiar with the agricultural scene and government policy detect the hand of die-hard 'socialist' members of the Julius Nyerere-influenced old guard who remain influential in the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party and the government bureaucracy. This is the natural constituency for Magufuli's populist-nationalist rhetoric. Since coming to power in 2015, the Magufuli government has taken control of fertiliser and seed importation through bulk procurement, and re-empowered cooperative unions in crop purchasing, undermining private exporters and contract-farming arrangements. These and numerous other interventions, such as the dramatic takeover of the cashew market by the army on Magufuli's orders, demonstrate the deep commitment of the party and state apparatus to maintaining public control of areas that many, such as the large donors and international financial institutions, believe should be market-driven.
Cancelling the investment programme does not mean the end of SAGCOT, but Kirenga will be hard put to find additional sponsors in present circumstances. One possible solution is the incorporation of SAGCOT into the on-going Agriculture Sector Development Programme (II), which is an old-style, smallholder-oriented, programme with only a marginal role for the 'private sector'.
Sugar low
The difficulties experienced by agribusiness investors in Tanzania were highlighted when a huge Swedish investment in an integrated sugar project with an outgrower component failed to take off after years of negotiating with the government over land and water rights. Bagamoyo EcoEnergy (BEE) is currently seeking compensation for its claimed $50m investment (AC Vol 58 No 5, Sour fate of sugar project). Sugar traders opposed to import substitution mobilised heavily to scotch the plan.
A more recent example is Kilombero Plantation Ltd (KPL), a 5800-hectare rice and maize-growing venture and a showcase example within the SAGCOT area of an effective outgrower project. KPL is now up for sale after defaulting on a $20m loan from the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the US government bank which also insures US overseas investments, and a
13 billion shilling ($5.6m) loan from the National Microfinance Bank. KPL's business model was dependent on Tanzania respecting and implementing the 25% Common External Tariff on rice imports in the East African Community. In 2013, however, all local rice producers were hit by an agreement to import 80,000 tonnes of rice from Pakistan at zero tariff. The price KPL paid to its outgrowers was above the price of the imported rice, punching a hole in its finances.
KPL CEO Carter Coleman praised President Magufuli for putting an end to duty-free rice imports, but explained that the need to sell the business came out of the 2018 collapse in the maize price, which KPL also grows on its plantations, following rainy season floods in 2016 and 2017 and the arrival of the army worm from South America in 2017.  'The 2018 ban on maize exports,' Coleman told AC,  'at a time when a record 2017 southern African maize crop led to much importation of cheap maize into Tanzania, contributed to the 11-year-low of maize prices in 2018 that has been painful to smallholder and commercial maize-growers.'
As well as the hostility to the private sector which is prevalent in the Tanzanian state, lack of capacity among officials, bureaucracy, rent-seeking and the lobbying of influential importers of agricultural produce opposed to import substitution also take their toll.

Early Bible prophets wrote the Bible over centuries-spanning both BC and AD. The first Bible was written in Hebrew, and many of the Chapters bear the names of the Prophets who wrote the 66 books. Moses wrote Genesis, David wrote much of Psalms, Solomon wrote the books of Solomon and Ecclesiastes, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and other Prophets wrote the 66 books in the Bible.
The Hebrew Bible was then translated into Greek and finally into English. John Wycliffe first translated the entire Bible (both Old and New Testaments) into English in 13th century England. William Tyndale translated the Bible into English in 15 century England. The King James translators used the Tyndale and Wycliffe translations in the Publishing of the King James Bible in 1611, commonly referred to as "The Holy Bible".
Alexander Scourby was the first to record the King Jams Bible on audio in the early 1950s. Since then millions have been sold the World over. Although many have recorded the Bible over the years, no one could ever match Scourby's unparalleled and majestic reading. The combination of Alexander Scourby reading the King James Bible is an incomparable hearing experience.
"But what I like are his pregnant pauses-he uses his pauses so well. His subtle hints of dialect are superb. While most narrators try to "act" a book, raising and lowering their voices when the speaker changes from a man to a woman, Scourby simply changed the rhythm slightly," Gibson said. People who knew Scourby describe a man meticulous in his research and preparation. Go to this link to read the complete Chicago Tribune article: https://www.scourby.com/chicago-tribune-article.

Malorie Blackman awarded OBE
June 16, 2008 9:59 am , Matt Imrie
Congratulations to Malorie Blackman who is to be awarded an OBE in the Queen's Birthdays Honours List.
Malorie says of the honour:
"I have been a professional writer for almost two decades now, so I am thrilled and honoured to receive an OBE for services to children's literature."
Malorie Blackman is one of the country's most well loved and acclaimed authors for young adults. She worked as a Database Manager and Systems Programmer before becoming a full-time writer. After receiving 82 rejection letters for her first eight to ten books, her first book, Not So Stupid! was published in 1990 and was a selected title for the 1991 Feminist Book Fortnight, and Malorie participated in the first BBC TV Black Women's Screenwriting Workshop in 1991. She has written a number of books for young readers which have been dramatised successfully for children's television including the Whizziwig series and has worked on other TV projects such as Byker Grove and Pig Heart Boy which won a BAFTA for best children's drama 2000.
Malorie's titles for Random House Children's Books include Cloud Busting (selected for the first Booked Up Scheme in 2007), Hacker, Thief and Pig Heart Boy. For older readers her name has become famed for the Noughts & Crosses sequence, where set ideas of race, heritage, belief, power, money and love are challenged – the first book was recently adapted for the stage and directed by Dominic Cooke for the Royal Shakespeare Company, playing to critical acclaim in the Winter Season 2007/8, in Stratford upon Avon and on tour around the UK. A fourth book is to be published in November 2008, moving on the story in Double Cross, which is set to be one of the most highly anticipated books of the year.
Malorie's reputation has steadily grown and she has been awarded a number of prizes, and has been involved in countless projects enabling children and young adults to access her work, and get interested in reading. She lives in Kent with her husband and daughter – and a collection of around 15,000 books!

What it Takes to Buy a Condo in Singapore
Ohmyhome
Been eyeing that new condo for years? Perhaps you have saved just enough now and looking to invest in one with your hard-earned cash. But just how much will a typical condo cost you? Similar to most properties, the price of a condo varies according to the area. For instance, it is not rare for condos to cost $6 million or above in expensive districts like Orchard Road and Sentosa.
Here, we will be referring to the more commonly looked at mass market condos among Singaporeans, when addressing this property type. Read on for a quick breakdown of what it takes to purchase a condo in Singapore!
1. The down payment
You can expect to pay around a grand estimated average of $1 million for one of these more typical condos located in the heartland like Tampines or Clementi. A maximum Loan to Value (LTV) ratio of 75% from the bank can be expected, assuming no outstanding home loans. If the bank decides to kindly loan the full 75%, this means you are able to borrow a generous total of $750,000, leaving an outstanding remainder of 25% or $250,000. You can use your CPF Ordinary Account (CPF OA) funds to pay off 20% or $200,000, and the rest of 5% or $50,000 in cash.
2. The monthly loan repayment
Assuming the typical loan interest rate at 2%, you can expect to pay around $3,178 monthly with a 25 year loan. Luckily, you can make the monthly repayments using your CPF OA. Even as one of the cheapest loans around, expect to fork out close to $953,000 for a $750,000 loan over 25 years.
3. The monthly maintenance fee
Depending on factors such as the size of the unit, you should also consider the dreaded monthly maintenance fee, which you can expect to pay around an estimated $300 a month for a standard mass market condo. On the other hand, it will cost you a hefty $1,000 monthly for fancier ones!
4. The renovation cost
Of course, not forgetting the renovation cost when moving into a new place, which will set you back at a minimum of $30,000. Be prepared to pay the contractors 20% upfront, as well as another 20% at each completed stage of the renovation. Thinking of renovating your home? You can find out more about our home improvement services.
5. The property tax
Finally, you will need to work out the property tax, which is based on the Annual Valuation (AV) of your property.
During the Singapore Budget on February 18, 2022, the government announced that the Property taxes rates for both owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied residential properties will be revised in 2 steps starting from 2023.
Rates for owner-occupied homes with an annual value in excess of $30,000 will be raised – ranging from 5 to 23 percent in 2023, to 6 to 32 percent in 2024.
For non-owner-occupied homes, which includes investment properties – taxes will be hiked across the board: from the current 10-20 percent, to 11-27 percent in 2023 and 12-36 percent in 2024.
Buying a condo in Singapore will take lots of financial planning in advance, as you look to make your condo dream a reality. Interested to find out more? With Ohmyhome, your dream condo is just right around the corner. If you are interested to learn more about our new launches and exclusive discounts, call us at 6886 9009!
