International Personal Finance
International Personal Finance PLC (IPF) is a financial services company which has operations across 11 markets in Europe, Mexico and Australia, and provides small sum, unsecured consumer loans and lines of credit to more than two million customers. Through a unique combination of home credit and digital channels, the company seeks to serve its customers who are underbanked or underserved by mainstream credit operators IPF Digital, which is a leading fintech business, and the largest home credit business in the world.
Recent Development
The Council of Ministers in Poland on 28 June 2019 proposed to further limit the costs that can be charged by financiers in connection with consumer loan agreements from the earlier proposed cap of 20% of the loan value and the additional cap per annum at 25% to 10% of the loan value and additional cap per annum at 10%.
Financial Highlights (H1 FY 2019, in £m)
(Source: Company Filings)
Driven by the strong growth in new markets of IPF Digital where the company saw continued demand from consumers for digital loans, credit issued rose by 6.3% to £672.3m. Annualised impairment as a share of revenue was 27.7%, indicating good credit quality, and average net receivables increased by 7.6% to £970.9m. Revenue rose by 6.7% to £446.9m while the net revenue increased by 2.1% to £323.1m. Profit before tax stood at £56.1 million, which declined by 0.7% but was in line with H1 2018, while statutory earnings per share were 14.8p in H1 2019, against 16.7p in H1 2018.

The amendment to the draft proposal by the Polish government to reduce an existing cap on non-interest costs charged by lenders would hit the company substantially, and it is closely monitoring the developments of this matter. IPF Digital continued to report strong growth, and the company reported that it was on course to deliver its maiden profit this year, while challenging the macroeconomic environment and weaker than expected collections led to Mexico Home Credit business profit declining by 50% to GBP3.5 million. The shares of the company declined by almost 8% on the day of announcement of results.
Intu Properties
Intu Properties PLC (INTU) is a British real estate investment trust that owns and manages 20 shopping centres in the UK and Spain, which are leased for retail and leisure purposes or for commercial activities. The group has an expanding portfolio in Spain and a growing multichannel presence across its markets.
The company on 4 June 2019 announced that Robert Allen had been appointed as the Chief Financial Officer of the company, replacing Barbara Gibbes who had been acting as interim CFO.
Due to the 7.7 per cent reduction in like-for-like net rental income of GBP 16.8 million, net rental income declined by GBP 17.9 million in the period to GBP 205.2 million, after a string of retail restructures by major clients. The loss before tax rose to GBP 856.4m in the six months to 30 June, from a loss of GBP 506.5m in the corresponding period of 2018, while IFRS loss for the period attributable to owners rose to GBP 829.6 million from a loss of GBP 486.2 million recorded in H1 FY18.

Some weaker retailers are struggling to survive in a multichannel environment as the retail property market is impacted by the fundamental changes ongoing in the retail sector, leading to a higher level of administrations and company voluntary arrangement, which has been impacting the rental income. The group has been facing decreasing property values and pessimistic investor sentiment because of weak consumer confidence and the current political uncertainty in the country. The share of the company lost 31.9% on the day of the announcement.
Countrywide PLC (CWD) is the largest property services group in the United Kingdom, which specialises in both the residential and commercial property markets. The company operates more than 60 brands through over 850 branches across the UK and offers a diverse range of products and services.
During the first half of the financial year 2019, income declined by 4% to £290.6 million, against £302.9 million reported in H1 2018. Against a backdrop of a weak sales market, but in line with the expectations, adjusted EBTIDA (pre-IFRS16) declined by 61% to £3.9 million, while adjusted EBITDA was £20.2 million. Operating profit before exceptional items was £10.0 million (H1 2018: £3.3 million loss), while underlying profit before tax was £4.8 million, against a loss of £8.3 million last year.

On 01 August 2019, at the time of writing (GMT 4:45 pm), CWD shares were hovering at GBX 4.99, up by 0.80% against the previous day closing price. Stock's 52 weeks High and Low is GBX 28.89/GBX 3.10. Total market capitalisation (outstanding) was around GBP 81.04 million.
While the political and Brexit uncertainty remains, the company is confident that the full year result will be in line with the expectations, as the group continues to make operational and financial progress. Helped by the cost actions taken in the first half and the increased momentum in sales of complementary services, the company expects adjusted EBITDA in the second half to be strong. The shares of the company declined by 4.57% on the day of the announcement.
Restore PLC (RST) is an AIM-listed company that provides services to offices and workplaces in the private and public sectors, including document storage, cloud and media storage, document shredding, commercial and workplace relocation, and others.

Stock's 52 weeks High and Low is GBX 528/GBX 250.13. The company's stock beta was 0.63, reflecting less volatility as compared to the benchmark index. Total outstanding market capitalisation was around GBP 534.26 million, with a dividend yield of 1.49%.
As a result of improved cash generation, the company expects a material reduction in leverage during the year, and expectations for full-year remained unchanged. The new public sector team continued to build a good pipeline, and the company continued to focus on organic growth and market share gains. The company seeks to grow in the country, both organically and through selective acquisitions, to add capability and scale to the operations. On the day of the announcement of results, the share price rose by 5.65%.

Stock's 52 weeks High and Low is GBX 3,140.60/GBX 1,765.00. The company's stock beta was 1.23, reflecting more volatility as compared to the benchmark index. Total outstanding market capitalisation was around GBP 783.07 million, with a dividend yield of 2.07%.
The company expects full-year results to be slightly above the current market consensus forecasts, driven by a proven business model and an attractive market opportunity.

Case Study: A1 Concrete Cutting and Constructon Inc.
I was in between jobs, and knew I would be staying in the construction estimating field, so I had some time to look at estimating & project management software.
At my last job, I was using Sage-Master Builders project management software, and Quest Solutions estimating software. With the annual fees (for just 5 years), these two sofware packages alone are worth $15,000 apiece, totalling a $30,000 software investment by this company.
If you are an estimator or project manager, you should really try messing with TeamDesk. I have spent 15 years with spreadsheets and databases - not as an expert, but a user. I am also an accomplished estimator in the trades of concrete construction, demolition, saw-cutting & excavation. I really believed there was a web-based database software out there that could do what I wanted, and tried 4 of them before almost giving up.
We now regularly work with 4 TeamDesk applications - which are in full use. I estimate with 2 applications, and we generate payroll and construction scheduling (much to my new employer's enjoyment).
Estimating: As a professional construction estimator for 11 years post graduate, the estimating software I have developed with Teamdesk is more flexible, and allows for more customization creating "cost assemblies" than 95% of the software available. I like it better than the $15,000 estimating software I was using for 4 years at my last firm. Most estimators I know, love their spreadsheets. Once you use TeamDesk, you will never go back.
Scheduling: I made a scheduling software that manages 40 men and tracks hours, equipment, jobsites and pay schedules for a 6 million dollar construction & demolition company. We are in full operation, and it is working better than anything I have seen at 3 other companies (all of which have spent thousands on consultants).
Project Management: while a work in progress, I have developed a project / document management & bid proposal software that I believe is better for subcontractors than 95% of the systems out there. Primarily, because subcontractors work differently than general contractors, and most of what is available is focused towards general contractors. AND it's so bullet proof, easy to learn, sophisticated enough to please, and so darn flexible!
Oh wait, I forgot to mention Kiril and the other awesome experts who answer all my questions, and write back typically within a few hours with a personal response (and solution). That's huge, and I've paid more for much less.


The 50-hectare masterplanned community City di Mare is now connected with the rest of the city via the premium bus service offered by MyBus.
Officials of Filinvest, the company behind the development at the South Road Properties, held a preview of the bus routes and stops for journalists and bloggers last week.
CITY DI MARE. (From left) FLI marketing manager Kat Mercado, Filinvest City and City di Mare senior project development manager Dolly Macam, and deputy mall manager George Calles during the media briefing on the MyBus routes in City di Mare.
"The premium point-to-point bus service makes its air-conditioned, PWD-friendly, CCTV-enabled buses available to the residents and locators of Sanremo Oasis, Amalfi, the UP Professional Schools, and the only al fresco waterfront mall in Cebu, Il Corso, in several stops within the development," Filinvest Alabang Inc. vice president for townships Don Ubaldo said in a statement.
"From here, City di Mare connects to existing five routes that cover as far south as Talisay City and up north to the Mactan-Cebu International Airport," Ubaldo added.
LIFESTYLE DESTINATION. Scale model of the development plans for City di Mare.
There are now 4 bus stops within City di Mare: at the City di Mare Visitor Center, Sanremo Oasis, Amalfi, and Il Corso Filinvest Lifemalls. The trips start at 6:30 a.m. with the next one at 7:30 a.m. and then every 2 hours thereafter. The buses connect City di Mare to stops in SM Seaside City, Robinsons Galleria, SM City Cebu, Parkmall, Compañia Maritima, Talisay City, and the airport.
City di Mare is an integrated lifestyle destination built on a vision to "redefine the live-work-play formula," the company said in a statement.
Dolly Macam, senior project development manager of Filinvest City and City di Mare, and Kat Mercado, FLI marketing manager, gave the group an overview of the City di Mare development and the future timeline of the project. City di Mare will soon have high-rise buildings that will host condo units, offices, and retail spaces.
IL CORSO. George Calles, deputy mall manager and marketing manager for Il Corso, gives an overview on developments at the waterfront mall.
Mercado pointed out that Sanremo and Amalfi both have underground passages for cars so that the spaces above are vehicle-free, making it perfect for pedestrian, runners, and bikers.
George Calles, deputy mall manager and marketing manager for Il Corso, gave an overview of the waterfront mall that is set to open within the year. The mall with the iconic lighthouse and panoramic view of the sea will offer a different retail experience to Cebuanos, he said.

What is the final frontier? Whenever I ask my Earth Science 101 students they answer that the final frontier is space. This is no doubt because they have been acculturated by the ubiquity and glamour of space exploration in the popular imagination.
The Apollo program conceived in early 1960 during the Eisenhower administration ignited the dreams of a generation that lacked the drama of exploration that characterized their recent ancestors. Apollo missions merged seamlessly with the popular television series Star Trek, which began in 1966.
Captain James T. Kirk, the boyish and impulsive hero, augmented the romance of space travel with his promise to explore "brave new worlds." That his middle name is Tiberius — perhaps after one of Rome's greatest generals, who became a moody and reluctant Emperor — only added to the gravitas.
Star Trek's opening lines, "to boldly go where no man has gone before," tapped into the jet-fueled excitement of the space exploration generation, the words coming almost verbatim from a government booklet produced after the Sputnik flight in 1957.
In 1969 the Apollo astronauts walked the moon. The previous month Star Trek was canceled.
The cancellation of Star Trek pointed out a feature of mainstream American culture. Although most people enjoyed making the Vulcan salute it was not enough to sustain the television show. Fantasy was in every way less extraordinary and interesting than reality. Priorities were clearly different than they are today. Perhaps we are the generation Star Trek was waiting for.
After the show's cancellation in 1969 one might be forgiven for the inability to summon the imagination needed to see ahead to the annual Star Trek Convention, now heading into its 50th anniversary celebration. Now it is not hard to imagine the main meeting in Las Vegas hosting over 50,000 'Trekkies'.
In the first quarter of the twenty-first century we live in a world where a large number of people find it difficult to disentangle reality from fantasy.
According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, over 13 percent of the population are on antidepressants. This suggests that an alarmingly large and increasing portion of the population have a dissatisfaction with real life. By means of antidepressants they struggle to live in a world as they wish it to be rather than live in the world as it is.
Although the 1960s were years when experimentation with recreational drugs became a cultural phenomenon, it is today that drug use is virtually an institution. The fascination with fantasy extends far beyond entertainment.
In his book The Flight from Reality in the Human Sciences, Yale's Ian Shapiro offers a disturbing sketch of how the abandonment of truth has disconnected much of academia from the real world. Whether leading or following the academic social science, it is clear to many that in politics, economics, sociology, whatever, postmodern man is similarly engaged in a concerted flight from reality. I am not alone in finding myself constantly obliged to argue against ideas that are so foolish and superficial that they should be readily recognized as self-refuting.
Environmentalism is a prime example. The Green movement once concerned itself with genuine environmental problems but today largely thrives on exaggeration, myth, and fantasy. Greenpeace claims, "[c]limate change is accelerating" and global warming is worse than previously thought. Their solution is to completely dislocate human industry because, in their view, CO2 gas from human industry is causing rapid and accelerating global warming.
Never mind that their climate models simulate two to three times observed warming and that none predicted that for about 20 years there's been no warming trend apparent in NASA's satellite records, the most reliable because they are least contaminated and least "adjusted."
Models don't match reality? No problem. A generation of climate scientists trained mainly on computer modeling rather than real-world observations self-consciously admits it frequently fails to distinguish models from reality.
Maybe the real final frontier is the human mind, and the challenge is getting it to submit to reality rather than preferring fantasy?
In my book Resisting the Green Dragon. I analyze the worldview, philosophy, theology, ethics, politics, and strategies of the Green movement. I wrote the book because, as a scientist and as a Christian, I believe it is possible to bring a balanced Biblical view of stewardship and conservation to the critical issues of environment and development.
Around the world, environmentalism has become an unbalanced, radical movement, a metastasizing social pathology unhinged from reality. It is deadly — deadly to human prosperity, deadly to human life, deadly to human freedom, and deadly to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
It is not hard to see how living in fantasyland quickly becomes socially and economically disastrous. If governments continue accelerating the heavy-handed imposition of Green policy, it will not be long before we will fondly but sadly recall Mr. Spock and his wish that we "live long and prosper."
James Wanliss, Ph.D., is Professor of Physics at Presbyterian College, Clinton, SC. He is a Senior Fellow and Contributing Writer for The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, and author of Resisting the Green Dragon: Dominion, Not Death.

President signs Act to stop water usage fees
Photo by Greg Bird
McCreary County Water District Supervisor Stephen Whitaker spoke with Senator Rand Paul Tuesday about the Water Infrastructure Act.
President Donald Trump signed the Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 last week, which has a major impact on McCreary County – potentially saving the local Water District, and county residents, hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Act includes language inserted by Senator Mitch McConnell that prohibits the Army Corps of Engineers from potentially charging communities that draw their water supply from Lake Cumberland. McCreary County was one of eight utility districts around the lake that would have been impacted by additional fees if not for the actions of legislators.
Even though McCreary County does not draw water directly from the lake, but rather from the head-waters of the lake, it was one of several communities that faced additional fees if the study was completed. Not only would the local water district see a one-time fee, it would also be responsible for costs of repairing and maintaining the Wolf Creek Dam, which recently underwent more than $600 million of rehabilitation work.
McCreary County Water District Superintendent Stephen Whitaker praised legislators for their efforts to put an end to charging the local communities for usage.
"The combined effort of Senator Rand Paul, Senator Mitch McConnell and Congressman Hal Rogers to stop the U.S. Corps of Engineers to collect usage fees for water we withdraw for our community is a blessing," he said.
Whitaker said the McCreary County Water District had yet to hear what the official cost would have been if the Corps was able to enact the fees, but early estimates put it in the "six-figure" range, not including the annual fee.
That additional cost would have to be passed on to local consumers.
In 2016 the Monticello City Council added 40 cents per month per customer to cover the anticipated extra cost. That fee was removed one year later after it appeared congressional action would block the move.
Additionally, Whitaker said the decision to include McCreary in the usage and maintenance fees was "concerning" as the local water source does not come from the lake.
"If the Wolf Creek Dam did not exist tomorrow, our intake and water treatment plant would continue to operate normally," he said.
Last year the Army Corps of Engineers made public plans to begin charging communities who use Lake Cumberland for their water supply, as part of the Water Supply Act of 1958. The act requires users of water from Corps-managed lakes to enter in to water supply storage agreements and pay an annual fee for operation and maintenance costs. Those fees would go toward operations at Wolf Creek Dam.
The Corps was in the process of completing a study to determine water-storage capacity for users, and would eventually result in those users paying a one-time fee.
Following the announcement Congressman Hal Rogers introduced language in to the 2017 budget that blocked funding for the study.
Senator McConnell and Senator Rand Paul, who was in Burnside Tuesday to discuss the Water Infrastructure Act, worked with the local districts affected by the Corps" plan to include language that stopped the plan to implement fees.

July 17, 1947 – The U.S. District Court in South Carolina Opened the All-White Primary to Blacks
Posted on July 17, 2017 by rhapsodyinbooks
Julius Waties Waring was a white native of Charleston, South Carolina born in 1880, whose father and uncles had been slaveowners and Confederate war veterans. But somehow along the way, Waring got radicalized, and, as Wil Haygood wrote in Showdown: Thurgood Marshall and the Supreme Court Nomination That Changed America, "He began expressing different views from what Charlestonians expected of him." He even went so far as to allow blacks to sit wherever they wanted in his courtroom. He ruled against whites in court who committed crimes against blacks. He married a northerner, which in itself would have subjected him to censure. But most unforgivably, Judge Waring opened the all-white Democratic Primary in South Carolina to blacks with his ruling in Elmore v. Rice, 72 F. Supp. 516 (E.D.S.C. 1947).
Judge J. Waties Waring
The plaintiff, George Elmore, was a black man who brought suit because he was not permitted to vote in the Democratic Party's primary election. It was the contention of the defendants that:
. . . the State having thus completely renounced control of political parties and primaries held thereunder, these party primaries are private matters, subject to the determinations and whims of its members, and that they may include or exclude members as they desire, according to racial or any other tests."
But Waring reasoned (citing statistical evidence) that in Georgia, the Democratic Party is "the dominant and controlling political party." Voting in the primary was for all intents and purposes equivalent to voting in a "general election." So can the Democratic Party, he asked, actually be treated as a private organization?
Waring concluded:
I am of the opinion that the present Democratic Party in South Carolina is acting for and on behalf of the people of South Carolina; and that the Primary held by it is the only practical place where one can express a choice in selecting federal and other officials. Racial distinctions cannot exist in the machinery that selects the officers and lawmakers of the United States; and all citizens of this State and Country are entitled to cast a free and untrammeled ballot in our elections, and if the only material and realistic elections are clothed with the name "primary", they are equally entitled to vote there.
It is time for South Carolina to rejoin the Union. It is time to fall in step with the other states and to adopt the American way of conducting elections."
In time, his apostasy became dangerous for him. The Ku Klux Klan burned a cross on his front lawn. He received threatening phone calls. Congressman Mendel Rivers of South Carolina was among those calling for Waring's impeachment, predicting, "Unless he is removed, there will be bloodshed."
Judge Waties Waring and his wife, Elizabeth, became close friends with Charleston NAACP leader Arthur J. Clement and his wife.
Judge Waring retired in 1952 and he and his wife moved to New York, where they were more welcome.

Feeling lonely doesn't always mean that you are physically alone or feeling socially isolated. It may be that you're feeling mentally or emotionally lonely — like no one truly understands what you're going through.
We may also experience feelings of loneliness when we're missing someone who once played a significant role in our lives but who is no longer here anymore.
No matter where feelings of loneliness stem from, many musicians have turned to their art to express what it means to feel lonely.
So put your headphones in or turn your volume up on this moving lonely songs playlist…

CD Review: Arranged Marriage, "Dearly Beloved"
I've always been a bit envious of musical families. Not to say that I don't have a few musicians in my family tree; rather, I've always coveted the kind of synergy that is evidenced in the debut recording by the father/son duo of Arranged Marriage. Aptly titled Dearly Beloved, their debut record is a labor of love for Brad and Scott Allen — Brad is the father, Scott the son, in case you were wondering — and features the kind of collaboration comes from joining the influence of the full spectrum of the rock of the 60s, the DIY ethic of indie-rock and the intimate production of the singer-songwriter set.
The Allen family are not exactly strangers to the indie music scene. Scott — along with his brother Ryan — were members of the defunct Red Shirt Brigade, and have spent the better part of the last decade touring the world with post-punk revivalists Thunderbirds Are Now! After breaking from the cycle of being in a touring indie rock band, Scott joined Brad and started working on the record in the family home, where they built a studio and, as they put it, took their time crafting a record that highlighted their favorite music.
Bridging the generational gap seems effortless, with the influence finding common ground within the pop inflected arrangements. There are moments on this record that just feel right, such as the jaunty piano-driven pop of "Sit Alone," the country-tinged simplicity of "Empty Bottles," and the tender "What Should I Do." The vocal are shared between Brad and Scott; when the duo effortlessly harmonizes is where the family connection comes to bear.
If nothing else, this record deserves your attention for the perfect slice of well crafted, intimate pop music. And if you are like me, it might nudge you to spend that extra time sharing your passion with your kids, and maybe learn a thing or two about theirs. (2010 Suburban Sprawl Music)

William Adam (1689 – 24 June 1748) was a Scottish architect, mason, and entrepreneur. He was the foremost architect of his time in Scotland,   designing and building numerous country houses and public buildings, and often acting as contractor as well as architect.


Ever Galvez is a fine artist, classically trained in painting, drawing, sculpture and animation. He is known most prominently for his award winning Chalk Street Painting talents. He began his journey enriched by the vibrant colors of Mexico and eventually by the multicultural influences of Southern California. Through his art, he shares an interpretation of colors that goes beyond what the naked eye can see in all that surrounds him. He combines this with his deep respect for the traditional arts to create a form of realism that he believes brings a subject's true colors and emotions to the surface for all to experience.
At the heart of all his work, is a desire to help people through creativity. Street Painting, in particular, has allowed him to fulfill this desire. Ever travels year round nationally and internationally to paint at large festivals, often supporting philanthropic causes, and to teach workshops to youths, in addition to working with clients on commercial projects.


I accidentally met a French Physicist visiting New York for a conference. We ate dinner together and he explained the fascinating theory of Fractals to me. I immediately started experimenting with how it could be expressed in my art. The theory describes a method for measuring organic perimeters such as a coastline or a leaf. Previously, this was not possible. I loosely express this theory by repeating shapes at different scales to create patterns that visualize infinity.

Query: NC_017066:57571 Rickettsia typhi str. TH1527 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Rickettsia typhi; Rickettsia; Rickettsiaceae; Rickettsiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This genus, like other Rickettsial organisms such as Neorickettsia and Anaplasma, is composed of obligate intracellular pathogens. The latter is composed of two organisms, Rickettsia prowazekii and Rickettsia typhi. The bacteria are transmitted via an insect, usually a tick, to a host organism, in this case humans, where they target endothelial cells and sometimes macrophages. They attach via an adhesin, rickettsial outer membrane protein A, and are internalized where they persist as cytoplasmically free organisms. Transovarial transmission (from mother to offspring) occurs in the invertebrate host. This organism causes murine typhus and is an obligate intracellular pathogen that infects both the flea vector and hosts such as human, rat, and mouse. R. prowazekii, and genomic comparisons demonstrate colinearity and similarity to the genome of that organism except for two independent inversions near the origin and terminus. In the flea vector, the bacterium penetrates the gut epithelial barrier and is found in the feces which become infective.
Subject: NC_013418:459650 Blattabacterium sp. (Periplaneta americana) str. BPLAN, complete
Lineage: Blattabacterium; Blattabacterium; Blattabacteriaceae; Flavobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: This organism is the endosymbiont of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana. It is a Gram-negative maternally inherited bacteria which lives in specialized cells in the host's abdominal fat body. Phylogenetic analyses for the Blattabacterium-cockroach symbiosis supports the hypothesis of co-evolution between symbionts and hosts dating back to more than 140 million years ago. Cockroaches are omnivorous insects, often subsisting on a nitrogen-poor diet, and Blattabacterium have been hypothesized to participate in uric acid degradation, nitrogen assimilation, and nutrient provisioning. Genome sequencing and metabolic reconstruction shows that Blattabacterium can recycle nitrogen from urea and ammonia, which are uric acid degradation products, into glutamate, using urease and glutamate dehydrogenase, and thus would be able to provide its host with some essential amino acids, vitamins and cofactors. The bacterium relies on asparagine and glutamine supplied by the host; it may be able to make proline from arginine via the urea cycle.

The new Ferrari GTC4Lusso is unveiled
Geneva Motor Show 2016
The new Ferrari GTC4Lusso is Maranello's latest interpretation of the four-seater concept, which combines extraordinary performance in all driving conditions with sporty elegance and luxurious comfort for both driver and passengers alike.
The GTC4Lusso's name references several illustrious predecessors, not least the 330 GTC or its 2+2 sister model, the 330 GT, as well as the 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso, which married extreme performance with stylish design and sophisticated materials and craftsmanship.
The GTC4Lusso sports the latest evolution of the naturally-aspirated Ferrari GT V12 that melds incredible power with efficiency and provides a soundtrack which is thrilling in performance driving, yet discreet and harmonious in normal touring conditions.
As is the case with all Ferraris, the GTC4Lusso introduces a slew of technological innovations, notably the new Ferrari-patented 4RM-S which guarantees exceptional handling even on low-grip surfaces and superb stability and responsiveness in all conditions.
The GTC4Lusso's aerodynamic development introduced new solutions, too, including a slotted diffuser and a rear spoiler integrated with the hatch, all focused on reducing drag and improving aerodynamic efficiency.
As a result, the GTC4Lusso exudes elegance and exclusivity, its unprecedented forms underscoring its most dynamic traits in an effortless marriage of sportiness and signature Grand Tourer traits.
The sophisticated and refined cabin is designed wholly around its occupants. Its Dual Cockpit concept, in fact, was crafted to enhance the shared driving experience for all passengers. Maximum attention was paid to improving in-car comfort, not least in the form of a new concept for the climate control and a new navigation and media system.
Intense research and development has boosted the 6,262 cc V12's maximum power output to 690 cv, making the GTC4Lusso the most powerful car in its segment. Both its 2.6 kg/cv weight-to-power-ratio and its 13.5:1 compression ratio set new records for the category, too. Underlining the strong links between Ferrari's GT engine division the racing world, the V12 revs to a red line at a class-leading 8,250 rpm.
Maximum torque is 697 Nm at 5,750 rpm with 80% already available at just 1,750 rpm for superb responsiveness even at low revs. This makes the GTC4Lusso incredibly versatile: it is as equally at home in sports car mode as it is in more GT-type contexts, such as city centres or on long journeys.
In fact the performance figures are those of a true thoroughbred sports car, with a maximum speed of 335 km/h and acceleration from 0-100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds flat.

NYCB: 21st Century Choreographers
Notes on the 21st Century Choreographers program:
(This program was supposed to include the new ballet by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, Unframed, which debuted at the NYCB fall gala. As occasionally happens, the program was changed, and instead of Unframed, we saw the After the Rain pas de deux.)
For Clara: This marks principal dancer Lauren Lovette's choreographic debut with the Company, making her one of the few women to have choreographed for the New York City Ballet. (Lovette choreographed when she was a student, but not since joining the Company.) Lovette uses "Introduction and Concert-Allegro, Op. 134" by Robert Schumann, and has said that the title of her ballet is an homage to Schumann's wife, Clara. As this was created for the fall gala, which, for several years, has seen the fusion of fashion and ballet, fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez designed the costumes (so you can thank him for dressing Zachary Catazaro in nothing by tight dance pants).
Lovette's work is good. There are three featured women (Emilie Gerrity, Unity Phelan, and Indiana Woodward), and two featured men (Catazaro and Chase Finlay), as well as a 12-person ensemble. That ensemble needs focusing, but other than that, Lovette shows great promise with For Clara. In particular, I found the contentious pas de deux (between Phelan and Catazaro) to show Lovette's confidence both as a choreographer and in her dancers, most of whom she's grown up with. She is taking risks with the choreography, and it pays off. I also appreciate the beautiful musicality in her choreography; she helps us "see the music," as Balanchine would say.
The Dreamers: Peck premiere one of four! (Justin Peck is debuting four ballets with NYCB this season.) Though typically known for his great use of ensembles, Peck pared down and choreographed a beautiful, romantic pas de deux for Sara Mearns and Amar Ramasar, who danced wonderfully. What is, perhaps, most notable about The Dreamers is that you can see the history the dancers and choreographer have. Mearns and Ramasar know each other so well, and Peck knows them and their abilities so well—it is a perfect pairing. (You might recall that Mearns and Ramasar danced the gorgeous pas de deux in Peck's Rodeo: Four Dance Episodes.) The Dreamers is not overwhelming in any capacity, but it's good, and shows Peck getting even better with his pas de deux work. (The Dreamers is set to the Bohuslav Martinu composition, "Piano Quintet No. 2, II. Adagio"; costumes are by fashion designer Dries Van Noten.)
After the Rain (pas de deux): I still believe that the pas de deux, the "after the rain" section, is more powerful in context, i.e., when you see the first movement—the rain—of the Christopher Wheeldon ballet, but damn it if I wasn't crying the whole time. To be honest, I wasn't emotionally prepared to see this (as I thought I'd be seeing the new Lopez Ochoa ballet), especially because it would my first time seeing it—in part or whole—without Wendy Whelan, upon whom the ballet was choreographed. (In fact, the last time I saw this was during Whelan's farewell performance. Moreover, I believe it was the first time I saw it without Craig Hall, who had been dancing the role with Whelan for several years.) The incredible Tiler Peck and Jared Angle did not disappoint. They are making the roles their own, finding their own nuance and meaning in this always–moving ballet. 11 years after it debuted, After the Rain is still in another league. Just exquisite.
ten in seven: Company corps de ballet member Peter Walker made his choreographic debut with this soft rock ballet. Featuring a commissioned composition by Thomas Kikta and costumes by fashion designer Jason Wu, I found ten in seven to be Walker's homage to NY Export: Opus Jazz; whether or not he meant it to be an homage is another story. Some of the movements and elements are directly reminiscent of Jerome Robbins's youthful sneaker ballet (for example: the women are all in ballet slippers; it's during only one movement that only one woman on pointe), but it's mostly in the overall feel of the ballet, its modernity, accessibility, and young vibrancy that recall my favorite. There are ten dancers in seven movements (hey, there's the title!):
"Bullage Aleatoire"—Like group dance/entrances; all ten dancers are on hand for this movement that is bookended with solo moments by the great, exuberant Ashly Isaacs.
"Jusqu'au Matin"—Akin to "Passage for Two," or the "Byplay" section of Interplay, Gretchen Smith and Daniel Applebaum dance while the other women "play back up."
"Divertissement du Blues"—The "statics"-like movement, with a main couple (Indiana Woodward and Sean Suozzi) dancing through and around the other men.
"Divertissement Harmonique"—Isaacs, Walker, and Rachel Hutsell dance a spirited pas de trois. I find Isaacs to be such an engaging dancer, and it's exciting seeing her in something out of the ordinary.
"Le son de deux"—A good pas de deux between Emily Kikta and Russell Janzen, and this is the only time a women is in pointe shoes, making this the most classical-ballet section.
"Rapide Furieux"—There's isn't a direct correlation between this solo, danced by Spartak Hoxha, and any part of Opus Jazz, but it did remind me entirely of "The Music and the Mirror," Cassie's big number in A Chorus Line.
"Melodie Majestueuse"—The ballet concludes with this simple button, reuniting the entire cast.
Everywhere We Go: I. Love. This. Ballet. I can't see it enough. Every time I see it I get chills. Justin Peck (and composer Sufjan Stevens) created a masterpiece. (When are we going to get a recording of Stevens's music?!?) The first time I saw this was the night it premiered, and I was literally on the edge of my seat the whole time. It's only gotten better, deeper, and more affecting.
When I first looked at the casting for this performance (a few weeks before the performance date), I noticed that many of those dancing the featured roles would be doing so for the first time. I was delighted by what I saw.
Returning to the role he created was Amar Ramasar, who's always a welcome presence on stage. In his track, he begins the ballet by shadowing another male dancer, usually Robert Fairchild. For this performance, he was paired with Russell Janzen. Janzen is a great dancer, but he's notably taller than Ramasar, which made the shadowing seem not quite perfect. Janzen still did well, and he excelled in his pas de deux with Rebecca Krohn.
Emily Kikta, also a tall dancer, did nice work in the Teresa Reichlen track, and Gonzalo Garcia makes for a fine alternate to Andrew Veyette. I was particularly pleased to see Lauren King (dancing Sterling Hyltin's track) and Ashly Isaacs (dancing Tiler Peck's track) bring their own flair, grace, and skills to this, appearing unflappable when faced with filling their colleagues' pointe shoes. King and Isaacs are beautiful dancers, and we'll, no doubt, be seeing more from them in the years to come. Truly, everywhere we go there is something special.

Mxico, al igual que otros pases, se ha visto impactado por la creciente ocurrencia de incendios forestales; as, entre otras acciones, se lleva a cabo el control areo de incendios mediante helicpteros, actividad que se ve limitada por la falta de agua. En este sentido, los sistemas de captacin de agua de lluvia (SCALL) pueden solucionar este problema.En el presente estudio, se realiz un anlisis de aptitud territorial en un SIG para establecer SCALL en el oriente del estado de Mxico.Se eligieron cinco variables para determinar la ubicacin de SCALL: velocidad de rfaga, evaporacin, distancia a caminos, escurrimiento superficial y densidad de incendios; las cuales se representaron geogrficamente mediante el inverso de la distancia ponderada para las dos primeras; distancia euclidiana, Curvas Numricas y mdulo de Point Density, para las tres ltimas, respectivamente.Se utiliz la metodologa de clasificacin para estimar los pesos de las variables y la combinacin lineal ponderada para generar el mapa de aptitud.Se identificaron dos reas con aptitudes mximas, al noreste de Ixtapaluca y al sur de Tlalmanalco. El mapa de aptitud mostr relaciones positivas en la zona norte con las variables densidad de incendios, escurrimiento y evaporacin; mientras que en la zona sur, con las variables escurrimiento, evaporacin y velocidad de rfaga. La aptitud identificada defini las mejores reas para establecer SCALL destinados al control areo de incendios forestales, lo que permitir un control oportuno; as, a fin de que existan incentivos econmicos para construirlos, la propuesta deber integrarse al marco de la poltica forestal.
GENERAL TECHNICAL REPORT PSW-GTR-245 304 Land Suitability for Establishing Rainwater Harvesting Systems for Fighting Wildfires1 Jos Mara Len Villalobos2 , Manuel Anaya Garduo1 , Enrique Ojeda Trejo1 , Dante Arturo Rodrguez Trejo3 , Jos Luis Oropeza Mota1 , and Jorge Luis Garca Rodrguez4 Abstract Rainwater harvesting systems (RHSs) can be used to improve the efficiency of helicopter fire- fighting operations. To this end, RHSs need to be strategically located in areas with high wildfire occurrence to maximize their usefulness. In this study, spatial analysis was carried out to determine suitable sites for establishing RHSs intended for air attack operations in three municipalities (Chalco, Ixtapaluca and Tlalmanalco) located in the eastern part of the state of Mexico, Mexico. Five variables were used for site selection: wind speed, distance to roads, runoff, evaporation and wildfire density. Each variable was graded by consulting experts and multi-criteria decision analysis was performed to integrate them on a map. Potential RHS sites that met most of the criteria established are in the north and south of the study area. The method used in this study to identify suitable sites for establishing RHSs is a useful tool. Expert knowledge and field visits would also be helpful in selecting the best RHS site and design, in order to reduce costs and environmental impacts. Keywords: curve number, multi-criteria analysis, wildfire fighting. Introduction Mexico, like other countries, has been impacted by the increasing occurrence of forest fires and mega-fires, exacerbated by the effects of global climate change. On average 10,521 fires occur in Mexico each year, affecting some 292,701 ha (Rodrguez and others, 2000). PROBOSQUE, a pro-forest alliance in the State of Mexico, has identified the Itza-Popo region in the state as being at high risk for wildfires and, in particular, the municipalities of Chalco, Ixtapaluca and Thalmanalco in number and area affected. To cope with the fire season, among other activities, air 1 An abbreviated version of this paper was presented at the Fourth International Symposium on Fire Economics, Planning, and Policy: Climate Change and Wildfires, November 5-11; Mexico City, Mexico. 2 Graduate College, Campus Montecillo; Email: jomalevi@yahoo.com.mx 3 Forest Science Department, Autonomous University of Chapingo. 4 Forest soils monitoring and inventorying Division, Mexico National Forestry Commission (CONAFOR in Spanish).
Proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium on Fire Economics, Planning, and Policy: Climate Change and Wildfires 307 a) Wind speed: the most severe were found in higher altitude areas in the northeast, and the lowest in the lower areas in the southwest. The optimal class chosen for establishing RHSs was 29 to 49 km h-1 (Table 1).

Most of the area, 30.49%, was placed in category five (Table 6).
GENERAL TECHNICAL REPORT PSW-GTR-245 310 volumes (415-667 m3), which were related to regosol soils and 600 mm of rainfall annually. Figure 3Curve number per unit of soil and vegetation type This was also observed by Sekar and others (2007) in a similar study, where soil types and their infiltration capacity directly affected the curve number values and subsequent runoff values. Distances to RHSs intended for agricultural use have been set at between 1000 and 2000 m (De Winnaar and others 2007); by contrast, this proposal requires greater proximity to roads. The optimal class kept a positive relationship with high suitability due to the adequacy of the road network in the fire areas. Furthermore, sites found to be suitable for RHSs intended for forest fire control respond, on one hand, to the weighting values of each variable, and on the other, to the optimum classes of each one, as is the case with the fire density, runoff and evaporation variables, which define the suitable sites in the north area. This was also observed by Weerasinghe and others (2010), whose potential RHS sites depended on the weight values and the optimum classes of each variable. Instead, there was a negative relationship with the wind speed variable in the north area, which is consistent with the observations of Simiu (1978), who stated that the records of wind under 10 do not produce accurate results. Although you may consider other factors of social, economic and environmental, they can be validated in the establishment of RHS site according to terrain and layout of the structure (De Winnaar and others 2007, Sekar and Randhir 2007, Ramakrishnan and others 2009).
Proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium on Fire Economics, Planning, and Policy: Climate Change and Wildfires 311 Summary This research evaluated the territorial capacity in three municipalities in the eastern part of the state of Mexico, RHS intended to establish air control of wildfires, combining variables affecting the water loading of the helicopter and the same RHS by multicriteria evaluation in GIS, finding good skills in over 28% of the study area, in two areas: north, in Ixtapaluca, and south in Tlalmanalco. Variables responded mostly with a positive, except for wind speed. Identified fitness provides a useful framework for making decisions, which will have to add economic and social elements to decide on the type of structure (design) that is more affordable and cause the least environmental impact.
