My recent stay at Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Calgary Downtown was very pleasant. The staff at the hotel were very attentive and ensured a comfortable stay. I ordered room service in the morning and appreciated that they gave me a call to give options for my order. They also did a follow up call to check that everything was ok. Front desk staff were very friendly, attentive, and kind when they were informing me about rates and services available. Some of their service elevators were under renovation which were inconvenient but signs were provided everywhere guiding you to the right place. Additionally, the valet staff was prompt and professional.
Location is nice. Staff is friendly. The hotel it's self leaves a lot to be desired. My husband had a meeting early in the morning. When he tried to use the elevator it was was stuck and an employee came on a full sprint with a crowbar. He and the two others waiting decided to take the stairs. They ended up taking numerous long and very narrow hallways down 8 flights of stairs which let them through the kitchen, they were told this was the correct way to go, to the lobby area. It was like a maze, what if there were a fire? There are other issues with the elevator when going to the parking garage that you have to go up before going down, the hallways are like little mazes and extremely narrow allowing only one person to pass. We stayed in one of the highest level rooms and was disappointed. At 5:30am a fight erupted for nearly 15-20 minutes, ugh. I guess that's not really the hotels fault. Over all the staff is very friendly, the rooms are clean, and location is good.
WE had an amazing stay, the room was very clean and quite. Great location within walking distance of most things we needed to get to. Would definitely stay again. Thank you.
Stay was good. I did give a few lower smiley faces because the hotel is dated. My key card was very finiky and wouldn't work all the time. I also had to slam my door in order to make in close properly. For the dollar amount it is well worth the stay. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

What Residential Properties Can a Singapore PR Buy?
There is nothing bold in saying that Singapore is one of the best places in the world to live in. The city-state has topped numerous global ranking charts and is known as one of the best-planned cities in the world, where the quality of living and housing is at the highest of standards. However, as the land is scarce here in the Republic, the category of real estate or residential property that you are eligible to acquire lies heavily in your residency status — whether you are a Singapore Citizen (SC), Permanent Resident (PR) or non-resident.
The Current Singapore Population
New statistics have been released by the Department of Statistics Singapore on September 2019 where it reported a 1.2% growth in total population over the previous year to see the numbers peaking at 5.7 million. Of this, the number of SCs rose to 3.5 million, up from last year's reported 3.47 million, according to the annual Population in Brief report.
The rest of the population comprises of PRs at a stable 0.52 million while non-residents (consisting of dependants, foreign students and workers who may or may not qualify or be eligible to become a PR) make up about 1.64 million.
This makes SCs naturally the largest demographic when it comes to residential property acquisition. They are eligible to buy any real estate in the little red dot and are merely limited to what they can financially afford. Next in line are PRs who qualify for more property options than non-residents, albeit fewer than the first group.
Before we dive down and explore further into the different kinds of real estate available for PRs, let us first take a look at the properties that are off-limits for PRs and foreigners alike.
Restricted Properties for Singapore PRs and Foreigners
Navigating your way through Singapore's real estate maze can be overwhelming, especially if you are new to the country. However, bear in mind that you are dwelling in a country with a rich and varied urban landscape that offers a diverse set of market place (landed, non-landed private, BTO, HDB resale) to cater to all segments of the Singapore society. As such, the majority of property types here in the city-state are more a boon than a bane.
Under the Residential Property Act, only an SC, Singapore company, Singapore society and Singapore limited liability partnership are eligible to acquire landed housing without any prior relevant approval from the relevant authorities. Here is the list of all restricted properties that are off-limits to non-citizens as well as foreign entities:
Vacant residential land
Bungalow or detached dwelling
Terrace home
Strata landed house not within an approved condominium project, such as cluster homes or townhouse
Serviced apartments, boarding house & workers' dormitory that are unregistered under the provisions of the Hotels Act
Association premises
If you are a PR or foreigner who wishes to buy any of the abovementioned properties, you will require the consent of Singapore Land Authority (SLA) and may apply for approval with their Land Dealings Approval Unit (LDAU). Essentially, each applicant will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and typically takes into account the following factors, but not limited to:
Being a PR of at least 5 years
Provide "exceptional economic contribution" to the country, determined from the taxes you generate
Your investments in Singapore, your business activities and the number of workers employed in your company may also be taken into consideration
Unrestricted Properties for Singapore PRs and Foreigners
The list below highlights all of the properties that non-Singaporeans and foreign companies are able to acquire without having the need to seek prior approval from the relevant government authorities:
Private condominium
Flat unit
Strata landed housing in an approved condominium project
Landed housing in Sentosa Cove
A leasehold estate in a landed residential vicinity for a term not exceeding seven years, including any extension or renewal terms
Shophouse (for commercial use)
Industrial and commercial properties
Hotel properties registered under the provisions of the Hotels Act
Executive condominium, HDB flat and HDB shophouse (subject to certain eligibility conditions and guidelines)
Unlike the landed housing and freehold estate in mainland Singapore which are off-limits to PRs, foreigners and expatriates without prior approval of the government, they are allowed to acquire the landed homes located at the prestigious Sentosa Cove. However, these houses are on leasehold and are intended for owner-occupational purposes — subletting of rooms or renting out the entire space is not allowed.
If you are new to the Lion City, the two comprehensive lists above may seem daunting and confusing at the first read, so we have shortlisted a couple of the most common types of residential properties in the country to help clear your doubts and dispel the confusion, if any.
Can a Singapore PR Purchase a BTO Unit?
Built-to-Order (BTO) units, or commonly referred to as "new" flats by the locals, are the most affordable form of housing as they are purchased directly from the Housing and Development Board (HDB) and are heavily subsidised. However, if your family nucleus does not consist of any SCs, you are not permitted to purchase a BTO unit. Only PRs who are married to a Singaporean spouse are eligible to purchase these new public housing units from HDB.
If you have already tied the knot with an SC, the two of you are eligible to apply for a new BTO unit via the Public Scheme or Non-Citizen Spouse Scheme. Similarly, if you are engaged and wedding bells are on the way, you may apply for such property under the Fiancé/Fiancée Scheme. The prerequisites for a PR intending to purchase a unit from HDB are simple:
You must be at least 21 years of age at the time of application
You must be residing in Singapore as a PR for at least three years
In the event that your application for a BTO is successful, you are not permitted to dispose of the BTO unit or rent it out in its entirety before it reaches the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) of five years. You and your spouse must also not be in possession of any other private properties elsewhere, locally or overseas. Otherwise, you will need to dispose of those properties within six months of completion (getting the keys to your unit).
In addition, it is important to note that first-timer households comprising of an SC and one or more PR must fork out an additional $10,000 premium to acquire these subsidised BTO units. However, you are poised to get this amount back in the future by applying for the $10,000 Citizen Top-Up Grant when you or your spouse converts to a Singapore citizenship, or when you have a child who is an SC.
Can a Singapore PR Purchase an HDB Resale Unit?
Resale flats are basically HDB units that are being resold in the open market. While these units typically cost more than their newly launched BTO counterparts, they are still preferred by buyers who do not wish to encounter the three to four years of waiting time for a BTO to be built or those who favour their flats to be in more developed mature estates.
Buyers targeting resale HDB units have a less stringent version of the Public Scheme or Non-Citizen Spouse Scheme imposed on them, where non-citizen family nucleus can qualify as long as they have fulfilled their requirement of attaining a PR status for at least three years. This means that you do not have to marry an SC in order to qualify for a resale HDB purchase.
1. Ethnic Integration Policy
Once you have made it through the preliminary requirements for a resale HDB purchase, you will be subjected to the Ethnic Integration Policy (EIP) quota before you can enter into a binding agreement with the existing owners of the unit. Under the EIP requirement introduced in 1989, you need to belong to the same race or ethnic group as the seller of the flat and must be within the block/neighbourhood's ethnic limits. The quotas are updated on the first day of each month and can be found online via HDB's e-service.
2. Singapore Permanent Resident (SPR) Quota
If either of the buyers of a resale HDB flat is at least an SC or Malaysian PR, you will only need to qualify for EIP quota. The SPR quota aims to ensure that SPR families can better integrate into the local community. Malaysians are excluded from this quota because of their close historical and cultural similarities with Singaporeans. For non-Malaysian PRs, however, you are required to fulfil both the EIP and the SPR quota. Under the SPR quota, a maximum of 5% of the total neighbourhood estate are allowed to be non-Malaysian PRs. For each of the block of flats, the maximum number of non-Malaysian PRs against the total number of residents is capped at 8%.
Can a Singapore PR Purchase a Condominium Unit?
1. Executive Condominium (EC)
An executive condominium (EC) is classified as a hybrid type of housing that falls in between the private and public housing category. It is meant to cater to the needs of the "sandwich" class, whose household income exceeds the ceiling for public housing but falls short of comfortably affording a private property. These property projects are designed and constructed by private developers but sold at a cheaper price than a full-fledged condominium because the land cost is subsidised by the government. As such, an EC falls under subsidised housing and the regulations to purchase one is similar to that of a BTO —
If a PR wishes to acquire a newly launched EC, you will need to marry a Singaporean spouse, in addition to satisfying requirements akin to a BTO's.
First owners of ECs are prohibited from disposing, selling or renting out their apartments before the five-year stipulated MOP period.
Thereafter, it can be resold in the open market to Singaporeans and PRs, with no restriction on family nucleus after MOP period.
After a decade (remaining leasehold of 89 years or less), an EC unit essentially becomes a private condominium and can be sold to any buyers, including foreigners, without any restrictions.
2. Private Condominium
The most straightforward of the lot, PRs are permitted to purchase a newly launched private condominium or a resale unit without any restrictions as long as they possess the financial means to. This includes strata-titled landed houses with building plans approved by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) before 2012. While the MOP period of five years extends to private condominiums, you are allowed to rent out your unit straight after you get the keys for a minimum term of six months. Additionally, if you own any other existing local or overseas private properties, they remain unaffected by your private condo purchase and you are not required to dispose or sell them. Moreover, private condominiums are viewed as an excellent choice of investment in the eyes of many, having reported to yield one of the highest potential returns on investment based on historical trends of its transactional prices.
3 Additional Things to Note Before Buying a Property in Singapore
For the locals who are familiar with the property market in the Republic, narrowing down their options and shortlisting the properties located in prime and desirable districts may not be a problem at all. However, for those who are new to the country and are fairly unfamiliar with the island, searching for that ideal home may pose a daunting task. Here are some of the other things you may want to take note of before purchasing your first residential property in this city-state.
1. Location
We have all heard it before — location, location, location. This phrase has been repeated often enough in property conversations that it does not take rocket science to conceive of its importance. And indeed, the location factor, ahead of size and pricing, came up as the single most important influence for buyers who are looking to own a property in Singapore, according to the latest Consumer Sentiment Survey findings from PropertyGuru. Consider buying a unit in mature estates for greater convenience as these developed neighbourhoods are usually close to essential amenities such as supermarkets, schools, community centres, bus interchange and MRT stations.
2. Buyer's Stamp Duty
Regardless of whether you are a Singaporean, PR or foreigner, Buyer's Stamp Duty (BSD) is made compulsory for the documents involving the sales and purchase of real estate here in this Little Red Dot and is calculated based on the purchase price or market valuation of the property, whichever is higher. BSD is taxed at 1% for the first $180,000, 2% for the next $180,000, 3% for the next $64,000 and 4% for the remaining amount.
3. Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty
Originally implemented in December 2011, the Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) was part of the State's cooling measures to moderate the demand for residential property and applies on top of the mandatory BSD. However, as a PR, you pay a substantially lower ABSD rate as compared to the foreigners. For residential property purchases, foreigners are imposed a flat ABSD rate of 20% of the purchase price or market value, whichever is higher. This is up from the 10% (for first residential property) and 15% (for every consecutive residential property) imposed on PRs.

Gal Gadot's 'Cleopatra' Starring Triggers Social Media Outrage Based on 'Uneducated' Claims About the Queen's Heritage
CJ Robles, Tech Times 12 October 2020, 04:10 am
(Photo : Miguel Schincariol/Getty Images) SAO PAULO, BRAZIL - DECEMBER 08: Actress Gal Gadot participates in the Warner Bros. Theatrical Panel for "Wonder Woman 1984" during CCXP 2019 Sao Paulo at Sao Paulo Expo on December 08, 2019 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

After Gal Gadot announced on Sunday, October 12, she will star in the next epic movie Cleopatra, the Israeli actress received outrage on social media from users who thought the queen was North African and black.
After Paramount Pictures won the bidding war between movie giants Warner Bros. and Universal as well as streaming companies Apple and Netflix, the 35-year-old actress confirmed she got the title role.

SAO PAULO, BRAZIL - DECEMBER 08: Actress Gal Gadot participates in the Warner Bros. Theatrical Panel for "Wonder Woman 1984" during CCXP 2019 Sao Paulo at Sao Paulo Expo on December 08, 2019 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The actress shared on her Instagram a screenshot of a news article about her new team up with Patty Jerkins after the success of Wonder Woman in 2017. "Cleopatra is a story I wanted to tell for a very long time. Can't be more excited and grateful," she said on the post.
I love embarking on new journeys, I love the excitement of new projects, the thrill of bringing new stories to life. Cleopatra is a story I wanted to tell for a very long time. Can't be more excited and grateful about this A team !! @paramountpics #PattyJenkins @jaronvarsano #LaetaKalogridis @pilotwavemotionpictures @atlasentertainment A post shared by Gal Gadot (@gal_gadot) on Oct 11, 2020 at 9:48am PDT
Gadot also shared that she loves to take-off on new journeys. "I love the excitement of new projects, the thrill of bringing new stories to life," she added. While it is not clear how Laeta Kalogridis would tackle the story of Queen of Egypt, but her past screenplays include some epic movies as well like Alexander (2004), Leonardo Shutter Island (2010), and Terminator Genisys (2015).

Social media outrage based on uneducated claims
However, some social media users received the news with distaste as they think Gadot was inappropriate for the role. They suggested that the role should instead be given to a black or African actress.
Twitter user Sameera Khan questioned the decision of Hollywood to cast Gadot whom she called "bland looking" over Nadine Njeim or other "stunning Arab actress."
Which Hollywood dumbass thought it would be a good idea to cast an Israeli actress as Cleopatra (a very bland looking one) instead of a stunning Arab actress like Nadine Njeim? And shame on you, Gal Gadot. Your country steals Arab land & you're stealing their movie roles... smh. https://t.co/GY5tYEcl4K pic.twitter.com/JcrnM1RUQq — sameera khan (@SameeraKhan) October 11, 2020
However, Iranian Australian columnist Rita Panahiwas quick to defend Gadot. "So, she didn't know Cleopatra was Greek & she calls the stunning Gal Gadot "very bland looking," Panahi said adding that "pathological hatred of Israel does strange things to people's brains."
Other users mocked those who complain against the Gadot starrer as they pointed out that Cleopatra was either Persian or Greek. "People are upset because Gal Gadot, who isn't black, is playing Cleopatra, who wasn't black either," Journalist Ian Miles Cheong noted.
People are upset because Gal Gadot, who isn't Black, is playing Cleopatra, who wasn't Black either. https://t.co/MD5vLF7Dvb — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) October 11, 2020
Born in Egypt, Cleopatra was a member of the Macedonian Greek royal family as Pharaoh Ptolemy XII's daughter. She was most probably to be fair-skinned like how Roman and Ptolemaic goddesses were depicted with ivory skin in paintings and books.
"Cleopatra was NOT black, she was of Greek descent, and there are even effigies of the time on how she looked like," another user shared adding that people should "stop trying to rewrite history with the SJW stupidity of today."
I'm going to say this once and I'm not going to say it again, Cleopatra was Greek. Yes, she was in Egyptian ruler but she was Greek with Persian and Syrian ancestry. The people who are reacting negatively that to this are uneducated and uninformed. Gal Gadot deserves this role. pic.twitter.com/7h1oYu9ClX — The Moonlight Warrior (@BlackMajikMan90) October 11, 2020
Known as ancient Egypt's last ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom, Cleopatra died in 30 BC. She ruled Egypt for more than three decades: with her father, two younger brothers, and her son.
Another high-profile project
Meanwhile, Gadot and Jenkins first team up, Wonder Woman, became the highest-grossing live-action movie by a female director. While the COVID-19 pandemic still putting a halt on the release of its sequel, Wonder Woman 1984, this new high profile project is great news.
Elizabeth Taylor's portrayal of Cleopatra in 1963 was a box office huge success with $57.7 million gross sales in North America. However, film production reached $44 million, which almost led 20th Century Fox to bankruptcy.
The move got nine Academy Awards nominations and won four awards for Cinematography, Art Direction, Costume Design, and Visual Effects.

I took in this heart-warming one man play the other night and the sold out house was filled with enjoyment.
Playing these and many more characters through the iconic multifarious persona of Nanabush (the trickster), playwright and performer Waawaate Fobister intertwines the boys' attraction to each other through activities that traditionally separate gender and orientations. This tour-de-force performance is a remarkable and refreshing testament to the joys and tragedies of growing up marginalized by race and sexuality within a small community.
Winner of six Dora Mavor Moore Awards. A Buddies in Bad Times Theatre production, in association with The National Arts Centre. Written and performed by Waawaate Fobister. Direction and dramaturgy by Ed Roy.

BEAT THE MARKET--1985
The play's the thing in this once-over-lightly exercise--namely: a $25,000 prize for the equity portfolio that performs best during any one of a series of nine 26-week holding periods between April 1, 1985 and July 1, 1986. Not too surprisingly, entrants must make their stock picks from a ""hot list"" compiled by the author. The Weiss register encompasses 200 predominantly speculative NYSE issues running from Advest Group (a regional brokerage firm) through Zapata Corp. (an oilfield-services concern with a sizable stake in offshore drilling). Well over half the text is devoted to breezy, smart-alecky, sometimes tasteless capsule reviews of the selections. (Deere, the world's largest producer of farm machinery, ""was lucky not to have been plowed under"" by agribusiness hard times; declining battery sales are characterized as the least of Union Carbide's foreign worries ""in light of the recent poison gas release at a factory in India. . ."") There's little to be lost in playing Weiss's game--for fun. But newcomers should be wary: the brief advisories tend to accentuate the positive aspects of dubious enterprises and strategems.

The IRCCS (Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico) St. John of God Clinical Research Center, Brescia, Italy, also commonly known as the Fatebenefratelli, meaning "Do-Good Brothers" in Italian, as the Brothers Hospitallers of the Order are called, is a national Centre for Research and Care for Mental Disorders. The Institute has existed for 120 years; in 1996 it was appointed as a Scientific Institute. The Center carries out extensive research activities in the field of neuroscience and is funded by the Italian Ministry of Health. It is a leading center in the research and the care of mental and cognitive disorders, and has strong connections with leading academic centers worldwide. With 244 beds for inpatient care and an intense outpatient activity, about 4,500 persons with Alzheimer's disease or associated disorders and 2,000 with mental disorders are treated yearly. Research is the primary function of the Institute and that is undertaken within several units that contribute to the Institute's research output.
More than 50 full-time researchers work in preclinical and clinical labs and produce a number of papers published in peer reviewed journals (on average 95 publications for year in the last five years with an impact factor of 380 per year). The Institute has a long experience in the coordination of and participation to international multi-centre research projects. Experimental work is closely linked with care and that is why, while staying at the Center, a User may be contacted and invited to participate in a scientific project, of course always subject to informed consent. Research programmes are an essential activity in the field of care because they make it possible to discover new cures and treatments in the interests of the User and, more generally speaking, of the whole community.
The Institute has an active role in teaching at the University of Brescia and the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart. As a result, research units also provide unique training opportunities for students.

There is a lack of information about the characteristics and functioning of the CAMHS - AMHS interface in all 28 European countries, especially on the nature, quality and outcomes of transition from CAMHS to adult care.
The specific aims of WP1 are:
To collect detailed information on CAMHS and AMHS characteristics and interface at national and regional levels across all EU states, including legal aspects of adolescent care

'Sherlock' Recap, 'The Lying Detective': The World's Only Consulting, Psychic Detective
By Emily Cutler | TV | January 9, 2017 |
I'm going to write something that I never believed I would have to: Sherlock Holmes does not have super-powers. Last's night episode The Lying Detective seems to have, at times, forgotten this. I understand that the basis of Sherlock's wildly complex trap is that he's a master of understanding human behavior, and given that it all worked out, he looks like even more of a genius. But if literally one thing had gone wrong, Sherlock would look even more like a corpse. The issue with the overwhelmingly intricate plot isn't just that it seems stupid in retrospect, it's that it's antithetical to Sherlock's very nature. Yes, his powers of observation, reasoning, and deduction are amazing, but at the end of the day, what Sherlock Holmes does is grind it out. He doesn't have special abilities, he's got essentially the same abilities everyone does and a personality disorder which won't allow him to give up on a case. If Sherlock gets done explaining how he knew what he knew and we still can't understand it, it means the scene was poorly written.
The plot of the episode focuses on Toby Jones' Culverton Smith, a billionaire philanthropist who is also a serial killer. He makes a lot of references to Chicago's own OG serial killer H.H. Holmes and his murder castle. (Fun fact: no, of course H.H. Holmes wasn't related to Sherlock as he is a fictional character. But H.H. did take that alias in order to convince his victims, murder or otherwise, that he was related to British royalty after whom the sleuth was named. H.H. was a big fat liar.) And then, surprise! Smith made the hospital he built into his modern day murder house, and is using said murder-hospital to kill Sherlock who was admitted after Watson beat the heroin out of him. Watson saves Sherlock in the nick of time because Mary told him to from beyond the grave all of which was discovered by Mrs. Hudson because she's actually way more observant than the show has previously given her credit for. OK. This is why I promised myself I wouldn't discuss the plot.
All of which is actually only the second biggest problem with last night's episode. The biggest problem was how irrelevant it felt. Not unenjoyable, but definitely irrelevant. Does anybody even remember that Sherlock is supposed to be looking for Moriarty? Isn't that why he was given the pardon over that whole Magnussen thing? I get that Mary's death threw a real wrench in the system, but I also understand that these are contrived plots. You can't argue that realistically Sherlock and Watson would need some time to recover from her death because this isn't reality. This is a season of television written by two long-term writing partners who couldn't figure out how to connect one episode to the next. The mysteries give the appearance of being related, but end up being a red herring or a dead end (literally in poor Mary's case). My issue with last night's episode is the same I had in last week's: why are you showing me this, guys?
Most of which Moffat and Gatiss are hoping you'll forget because of the last minute twist ending. John's therapist who is also the Lady From The Bus is actually Mycroft and Sherlock's long-lost, secret brother sister who also posed as Culverton Smith's daughter in order to sneak pertinent information to Sherlock about Smith's case, and who might be working with the late, great Moriarty. And her name is Euros which means "East Wind." Which you might have heard on this show before.
And you know what? I can't even be mad that the show pretends two different men would meet a total of three different characters all played by one woman, and not realize it. Because this is finally a goddamn plot. It's relevant to the overreaching story, it has a weight and purpose that doesn't feel manufactured, and most importantly, it's going to require some actually detectiving instead of a post script "I totally planned to do all this stuff." Moffat and Gatiss gave us what amounts to little more than three hours of half-hearted foreplay, and about fifteen seconds of what might be the good stuff. They've got one-hundred minutes next Sunday to convince us that Sherlock can still be as dazzlingly brilliant as we once believed it to be. Let's hope they didn't prematurely blow their plot.

New research from Grant Thornton's International Business Report (IBR) reveals that businesses in developed markets look set to drive global business growth prospects in 2014, while peers in the BRIC economies face a more challenging period. Business optimism and growth indicators have increased substantially in the G7 over the past 12 months, with numbers in many emerging markets falling away, suggesting a rebalancing in the global economy.
This time last year, business optimism in the G7 economies stood at net -16% compared to 39% in the BRIC economies. However the picture heading into 2014 is markedly different with optimism in the G7 rising to 28%, driven by improvements in Japan, the UK and US, an increase of 44 percentage points. Optimism in the BRICs has fallen by 17 percentage points to 22% with Brazil hitting an all-time low (10%) and Russia its lowest level since 2009 (1%).
Ed Nusbaum, global CEO at Grant Thornton, said: "We're braced for a momentum shift in the global business dynamic as we enter 2014. The BRICs have largely driven global growth since the financial crisis but the G7 economies are making a comeback – things even seem to be improving in the eurozone. The contrast from 12 months ago is stark – as business leaders plan for 2014, growth prospects in the G7 look more robust but uncertainty is growing in the BRICs and across Latin America."
This change in levels of business confidence feeds directly into business growth prospects. Revenue prospects across the G7 have risen by 18 percentage points over the past 12 months to 49%. In the BRICs though, expectations for revenue growth have fallen by 27 percentage points to 54% over the same period. Similarly, expectations for raising profits across the G7 were up 16 percentage points to 36% in Q4-2013 compared with 12 months previously while BRIC peers' expectations dropped 28 percentage points to 47% over the same period.
Expectations for employment, investment and salaries have also risen in the G7 since this time last year while those of BRIC peers have declined. Moreover, 12 months ago, 39% of business leaders in both the G7 and BRIC economies cited a lack of demand as a constraint on growth. This fell to 29% in Q4-2013 in the G7 but rose slightly to 40% in the BRICs.
Ed Nusbaum added: "Twelve months ago, growth prospects in the G7 economies looked markedly different: Europe was in recession, the US was teetering over the fiscal cliff and Abenomics had yet to boost Japan. More recently we have seen growth return to these economies as unemployment falls and consumer spending rises. Consequently businesses are seeing renewed demand for their goods and services which translates into improved short and long-term growth prospects.
"The situation in the BRIC economies is more difficult. The prospect of the US Federal Reserve tapering its extensive quantitative easing programme sent emerging markets into a spin in 2013 and the signs are that this will finally happen at some point in 2014. Growth has slowed markedly in all four BRIC economies and while the outlook for China remains more stable, Brazil, India and Russia face serious economic and political challenges over the next 12 months.
"The hope is that we are moving toward a more balanced global economy with fewer extremes. This should support business growth prospects; greater balance and less volatility means businesses can plan for the future and make decisions with greater certainty."

Sexual orientation – wired that way
In a recent post, I presented the evidence that sexual preference is strongly influenced by genetic variation. Here, I discuss the neurobiological evidence that shows that the brains of homosexual men and women are wired differently from those of their heterosexual counterparts.
First, we must consider the differences between the brains of heterosexual males and females. These differences are extensive and arise mainly due to the influence of testosterone during a critical period of early development (see Wired for Sex). They include, not surprisingly, differences in the number of neurons in specific regions of the brain involved in reproductive or sexual behaviours as well as differences in the number of nerve fibres connecting these areas. But they also involve areas not dedicated to these types of behaviours, such as the cerebellum, for example, which is involved in motor control among other things, and which shows a very large difference between men and women. Another area that shows prominent differences is the corpus callosum, the very large sheet of fibres that connects the two cerebral hemispheres, which is larger in females, despite lower overall brain size. Indeed, females show greater and more efficient connectivity in cortical networks than males, on average.
It should be emphasized that all of these differences are apparent only in group averages and there is very substantial overlap in the distributions of the measures of different brain regions in males and females. This is a similar situation to height, where, while it is true that men tend to be taller than women, on average, the distributions overlap and the average difference is not diagnostic – if the only thing you know about someone is their height then you have little predictive power as to which sex they are. That is because height is affected by many other variables besides sex and so sex simply shifts the mean of a wide distribution. Similarly, it is not possible to tell from one measurement from a brain scan what sex a person is, because brain structure is also affected by many other variables (primarily the rest of the genome). Nevertheless, just as with height, the group sex differences in brain structure are very robust and reproducible. They are also correlated with average differences in many different aspects of cognition, perception, emotion and any number of other psychological domains as well as large sex differences in susceptibility to various psychiatric diseases.
With that as background, what have studies of the brains of homosexual men and women found? The naïve hypothesis would be that the brains of homosexual men might look more like heterosexual women and vice versa for homosexual women. In fact, this is exactly what has been found, for the most part, not just in structural measures but also in measures of brain activity. Starting in the early 1990's, a number of studies by Swaab, Le Vay and others found differences in the size of specific regions of the hypothalamus between homosexual men and heterosexual men, with homosexual men showing a more female pattern. As the hypothalamus is involved in regulating many sexual and reproductive behaviours, and given that brain activity feeds back onto the organization of brain circuits, it was possible that such differences arose due to differences in behaviour, rather than the other way around. Experiments in animals argue strongly against that conclusion, however, given that similar differences can be induced by the manipulation of sex hormones during a critical period of early development.
A number of other studies have found similar results in other areas of the brain where sexual dimorphism is observed, including the size of the corpus callosum and also of the anterior commissure, another tract connecting the two sides of the brain. Both of these are larger, on average, in homosexual than in heterosexual men, mirroring the difference between heterosexual women and men. Conversely, various regions in homosexual women tend to show a more masculine pattern.
Interestingly, there is also strong sexual dimorphism in the degree of lateralization of brain structures and of brain activity – in general, men show greater lateralization than women (e.g., for language or face-processing areas or indeed, for the overall size of the cerebral hemispheres), and this trend is reversed in homosexuals. This is not limited to the brain itself but also extends to facial symmetry– males tend to show greater asymmetry in facial features than females, but the opposite is true for homosexual males and females.
Differences in brain activation have also been observed, for example in response to pheromones or to visual presentation of male or female faces. In both cases, homosexual men respond in a way that is more similar to heterosexual women, and homosexual women show responses more like heterosexual men. That may not be a surprise, you say – in fact it may seem obvious that that must be true and is not necessarily evidence for innate differences.
The study by Savic and Lindstrom referred to below extends these observations to another brain system, the amygdala – a region involved in emotional processing, but not directly linked to sexual behaviour. In heterosexual men and homosexual women, the right amygdala tends to be slightly larger than the left, while the opposite was found in homosexual men and heterosexual women. Differences in resting state functional connectivity were also observed (this refers to which areas are active in synchrony with the region of interest while the subject is at rest – not performing any specific task). In the first group there were more connections from the right amygdala and they were stronger to a different set of brain regions (including prefrontal cortex, caudate and putamen) than in the second group (which showed connections with the contralateral amygdala and cingulate). These results show that differences in brain wiring and functional activation between homosexuals and heterosexuals are not restricted to brain regions directly linked to reproductive behaviours or to responses to sexual cues.
Taking the genetic and neurobiological evidence together thus provides a clear picture of the biological basis of sexual orientation, though the details remain unknown. It should not be long however before some genetic variants are discovered that are associated with sexual orientation and these should give clues to the genesis of brain wiring differences between the sexes and how they control sexual preference.

Nice post Kevin..The mind is very complex thing and you have demonstrated it rightly.
I've herd that condition isn't influenced by genetic variation it is influenced by bmpharmacy because people are gonna buying some medicines there that alter their brain connections.

In 1994, Steve Brown took over as the firm's President. He and the Hoffman Brown team have worked together to nurture a company that has grown to more than 45 team members, serving both individual clients and a remarkable range of businesses and institutions.
Hoffman Brown's success in the marketplace is tied to its ability to create a positive, cooperative work environment built around teamwork, professionalism, personal satisfaction, client empathy and service to both clients and community. Staff retention is superior, company profits are shared and community service is woven into the fabric of HBC's culture.
From leadership to account executives to support staff, the people of Hoffman Brown keep a relentless focus on the satisfaction of our clients regardless of size. Thanks to the firm's long-term view, perhaps it is no surprise that nearly ninety-five percent of our clients were referred by existing clients, as well as CPAs, attorneys, business managers and other service professionals who feel confident in the skills and knowledge of the Hoffman Brown team.
For business organizations with loss control needs, Hoffman Brown offers the services of its Loss Control Department to help improve workplace safety before the problems occur. After touring your facilities and conducting a thorough evaluation of current operations, our loss control specialist will provide you with specific recommendations that can result in a safer, more productive work environment.
Furthermore, should you ever experience a loss, you will not be on your own. Hoffman Brown's Claims Department supports you by working closely with the insurance carrier responsible for resolving your claim. It is just one more way that we deliver on our commitment to client service beyond the initial sale.
The firm's commitment to the community is highlighted by HBC Serves, an internal program that allows HBC team members and their families to identify community needs and opportunities for service. The resulting outreach reflects the wide range of causes important to the HBC team — from distributing food for the hungry to organizing blood drives, from teams that walk to support cures for disease to helping build homes for families who need a safe, secure place to live. In addition to helping many worthy causes, HBC Serves strengthens the spirit of teamwork and family that is an integral part of our organizational ideals.
A fundamental aspect of Hoffman Brown Company's core values is giving back to the communities in which we work and live. HBC has a long history of social responsibility and early in the establishment of our company it became abundantly clear that working to make our world a better place and doing well in business is intertwined, especially in a service business like ours.

If you can't escape on a tropical vacation right now, you can at least pretend with this pineapple rum cake with dark rum glaze. The sweetness of the pineapple combined with the spiciness of the rum… These are the flavors vacations and memories are made of.
Pineapple and rum have a long-standing relationship. We've all had a pina colada, right? Thankfully, the perfect harmony of these ingredients also carries over to this pineapple rum cake. Chunks of pineapple are soaked in a dark rum brown sugar mixture before being added to the cake batter and baked to perfection. Drizzle each slice with a bit of the dark rum glaze and you are good to go.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease an 8- or 9-inch round cake pan with butter and lightly dust with flour. Discard excess flour and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup dark rum and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir to combine. Once the brown sugar is melted, add in 2 tablespoons of butter. Continue to stir until the butter is melted. Add the pineapple, turn the heat down to low and let this simmer while you make the cake batter.
Add 3/4 cup butter and sugar to a large bowl and beat until creamy.
Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time. Then add the 2 tablespoons of dark rum and beat to combine.
Add 1/2 of the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Pour in the pineapple juice, beat to combine and then add the remaining flour mixture. Beat until just combined, scraping the sides as needed.
Turn the heat off of the small pan on the stove. Using a slotted spoon, scoop the pineapple chunks out of the rum brown sugar glaze and add them to the cake batter. Using a spoon or a spatula, stir to combine. Keep the glaze in the small pan as you'll use this for the cake once it's ready to eat.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden and a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Let the cake cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack. Remove cake from pan and transfer to a large plate or a cake stand. Let cool completely.
When ready to serve, reheat the rum glaze and spoon it over the pineapple rum cake. Store leftover rum glaze in the fridge, and reheat on the stove as needed.

Q: Does the NSManagedObject instance still float around in space when it turns into a fault? Or is turning into a fault the same as deleting that thing completely? I mean... is that guy then just still alive as a super lightweight object with no big data inside, or is it actually deleted?
Or: Is a fault an object in memory with low footprint, or is that a "virtual object that COULD be there, but isn't yet"?

A: No, definitely it's not the same thing as deleting the object. Moreover, there is no guarantee that it will be flushed back to the filesystem nor there is a guarantee that it will be removed from the cache. For instance, assuming the object has no changes, nothing needs to be written on the filesystem, and there is a chance that, instead, it will remain in cache.


One of my best teachers in high school was my calculus teacher. With his other role as director of school musicals, Mr. Sankey brought theatrics to math class. One minus the sine squared, he would say in a booming stage voice. We knew our cue. Cosine squared, we would all boom back. And although my knowledge of calculus 26 years later is shaky, I know that if someone stopped me in the street, I could easily, confidently–and loudly–proclaim that sine squared plus cosine squared equals one.
What we say, and what we repeat, sticks.
So I developed the Great Writing Truths.
The Great Writing Truths are principles of good writing that apply across teachers, genres, disciplines and levels of expertise. And as I tell students repeatedly, whether they're writing a lab report, history essay, novel or email, these Truths work. While each discipline (and teacher) inevitably has its own small distinctions, good writing is good writing is good writing.
I refer to them in class, I type them at the top of class assignments, I mention them in feedback. Tattoo it on your arm, I say. Write it in your planner, I say. So much of analytical writing is hard and amorphous, especially for beginning writers. Be more argumentative! Explain significance! Connect to the bigger picture! In contrast, The Great Writing Truths are easy anchors.
And they are basic writing principles that I want to stick. May they reverberate for at least 26 years.

Q: Prove uniform convergence of $f_n = \frac {x} {1+x^n}$ $$f_n = \frac {x} {1+x^n}     ,    x \in [0,\infty)$$
I'm not sure what cases I have here. I thought maybe to check whenever n is odd or not ...
thanks for the help !

A: The pointwise limit is $$f(x) = \begin{cases}
x&0\leq x<1\\
0.5 &x=1\\
0 &x>1\end{cases}$$
Can you conclude now?
$\textbf{Added}$:
Here, each $f_n$ is continuous but $f$ is not continuous (at $1$ ), so the convergence is not uniform. More generally, the
convergence cannot be uniform on any domain containing $1$.

We used to think that the universe is made of planets, stars, asteroids, comets, black holes, and other heavenly bodies. But the latest scientific discoveries tell us that these heavenly bodies constitute just 5 percent of the universe. The rest of the universe is mysterious, invisible matter called dark matter (25 percent) and dark energy (70 percent). The dark acts as glue, but we don't see it.
When we look deep into the reasons behind outsized success of few, we often see a similar dark glue. The glue here comprises of number of small and big things – some straightforward (hard work and perseverance), some nuanced (deliberate practice and self-efficacy). Here, you'll find a modest attempt to unravel some of this dark glue.

No. They're backed by research, commonsense, observations, and plenty of examples and case studies. I hope the topics covered here will help you not only in becoming a better learner of English language (which can be daunting for many), but also in other spheres of your life.
If such thoughts often cross your mind, then you display fixed mindset, one of the two mindsets (the other being growth mindset) first articulated by Carol Dweck, one of the world's leading researchers on achievement and success, and the author of bestseller Mindset: The New Psychology of Success.
Have you switched to Facebook or checked the score of your favourite sports just before starting an important, though unpleasant, assignment from your school?
Have you stared at the blank screen of your laptop for long and then moved to something else when writing the first few paragraphs of the paper due next week?

How to Get Rid of Distractions from Smartphones and Internet?
You take the seat in your favorite corner. Today you're determined to knock off the work you've been procrastinating on for almost a week.
However, just before starting, you decide to check your inbox. You check, and you don't find anything worth your attention. (That's what is going to happen if you check too frequently.) Because it got done so quickly, your digital-thirst isn't quenched. You decide to skim your Facebook feed as well. After all, you plan to be off internet for three hours immediately after this.
By now, you're neck deep in entertainment and procrastination, ignoring what you set out to do.
For the uninitiated, deliberate practice is a focused form of practice wherein you proactively look for improvement in whichever craft you're trying to become better. Deliberate practice was first advocated by Anders Ericsson, who suggested that the top performers in any field reach the levels they do through deliberate practice. Think Roger Federer, Lionel Messi, Magnus Carlsen. Anyone can practice deliberately though, and improve her/ his level at a rate much faster than others'.
How is deliberate practice different from the practice that most of us go through?
If you're finding it difficult to deal with depression in college or high school, if you think you're the unfortunate one, and, worse, if you feel life is not worth living, then watch this video. Bit longish (nearly 15 minutes), but worth watching.
Nick Vujicic was born with tetra-Amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterized with absence of all four limbs. As a child, he was teased and mocked at. He thought he had no future, no opportunity, and no hope. And he nearly attempted suicide at the age of ten.
Today, he is a sought-after speaker (30,000 standing invitations at the time of this talk), has addressed millions in 60+ countries, has met the who's who, runs a non-profit and a for-profit venture, has written two books, has done a music video, has acted in a short film with an award winning performance, and has a spouse and a child.
We braved -7 degrees Celsius without sleeping bags.
We trekked 15 hours (a typical trek day is 7-8 hours) in a day.
We ascended nearly 6,500 feet (against recommended 1,500 feet ascent per day) in a day.
And to make it worse, we didn't have food for 32 hours.
Such extremes could've easily proved fatal, but 25 of us survived, somehow, on this trek to Rupin Pass (15,250 feet).


"I remember when I was your age I would…" We all have stories to tell. We are the authors of our own life stories. The longer we live the more stories we accumulate! There was a time when story sharing by elders served as a community building function. It was a way for younger people to learn about past history, their heritage and the heritage of others.
Today we live in a world where information is reported as it happens. Because of technology, we have an instant and permanent record of historical events. However, our personal stories, reflections, and opinions are not reported unless they are shared with others. It is still a personal responsibility for family members to make sure their stories live on through the generations.
Because older adults are living longer and healthier lives, it is not unusual for families to have four or even five living generations. Ironically, our world has become more mobile and fast-paced where families are often separated by geographic distance, work schedules, or children's activities. Because of this, the sharing of family stories may need to be done in a more purposeful way, taking a little work and creativity to help make it happen.
Use photos for telling stories. Take out that box of unmarked pictures and record what you know about any of them on their backs (i.e. people, places, years, etc.). Pictures that mean nothing to future generations may be easily discarded. If information is found on the back they may become part of family history.
Use "keepsakes" for sharing family stories. Most of us have possessions we deem keepsakes. We usually keep them because of the sentimental stories they hold. Sometimes keepsakes have been handed down through the generations and represent significant family history. These keepsake stories should be recorded in a permanent way. Much can be learned about family members, past and present, through keepsakes.
All family members have stories to share. Just as it is important to know about the lives of our older generations, it is just as important for young people to share their lives. Young and old alike can learn from each other as stories unfold.
The good and the bad should be told. As humans, we experience both happy and sad times. Most of us like to tell about the happier moments, but the sad and difficult memories we have are also important. Reminiscing about these events may help us to work through unresolved conflicts or grief. These stories can be inspirational for others who may be experiencing similar difficulties.
Family traditions are stories too. Don't forget to identify some of your family's traditions. Some of your fondest memories may be directly related to holidays or childhood memories of family traditions. Sometimes traditions that have been forgotten are rekindled in the telling of stories.

There are two solutions:
- censor.py and
- censor_serial.py

Each with corresponding tests. I started with a linear solution which assumed there might be extremely long lines which would therefore be handled better with generators across each line of the file.

I am imagining the prose files will be longer rather than wider so it the multiprocessing of censor.py will be more performant.

The files have been formatted with PSF's Black tool. The tests run with `pytest`.


John Kanzius' Cancer Killing Machine has worked on all cancer tumors tested. All of us have loved ones or friends who have cancer and millions have died from this dreaded killer. Now there is fresh hope, positive hope from The Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation and the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Pray for them and support their work.
Erie, PA – January 11, 2010. Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation ("KCRF") announces research conducted in the Kanzius/Curley Lab at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center has been published in the December 2010 issue of the American Association of Cancer Research's Clinical Cancer Research journal. The manuscript illustrates how Drs. Steven A. Curley and Evan S. Glazer's studies prove that radiofrequency fields can treat pancreatic tumors, which today, kill more than 95% of diagnosed patients. Studies found that noninvasive radiofrequency (RF) fields were effective in controlling relatively large pancreatic cancer cells. Additionally, this process took place without any injury to surrounding tissue or changes in subject behavior.
The manuscript describes the process as subjects are exposed to 10 minutes of nonionizing radiofrequency (RF) radiation followed by 36 hours of treatment using targeted gold nanoparticles (AuNP). This revolutionary design shows that the Kanzius RF machine alongside these particular nanoparticles create an effective formula for controlling pancreatic cancer cells.
This manuscript "Noninvasive Radiofrequency Field Destruction of Pancreatic Andenocarcinoma Xenografts Treated with Targeted Gold Nanoparticles" can be found in the December 2010 issue of the American Association of Cancer Research.
The following Link will take you to the official website where updates are always published. Pray for the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and the full team.
John Kanzius when asked, "What made you think you could cure cancer?" He replied, "What made me think I couldn't cure cancer?" From boyhood builder of ham radios to adult owner of TV station, Kanzius has been a "can-do" person. It took his own suffering and the observation of children suffering from the terrible effects of treating cancer that awakened the drive inside him to personally do something about this dreaded disease. He did it. Read and watch the Kanzius story as reported here by CBS news.
Great report on possible cancer cure.


-Great game, very addictive. Only gripe is that the "watch 1 video to unlock for free" is not working for me anymore. At Level 10, this was working well and thanks for adding this, and making videos short/skipable.
-The game is awesome. The game is good and the graphics are also good but in multiplayer mode the communication between players in team death match is very disgusting.
-Great game.I would suggest to make the name tag less visible, so you can hide in the grass a lot better in multiplayer.
-This is the BEST stickman game I've played in years. I really hope the update for the campaign map comes soon! Keep the updated and good games coming.


How important is breakfast is your diet?
I try to grab something on my way out the door.
We've heard – probably from our own parents – that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Many of us are preaching that to our own children. But, is it true? And does it matter what you eat?
Bottom line – is breakfast *really* the most important meal?
Amidor: "Moms have always said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I believe this is still true. It is imperative that you start your day fueled properly after going 8 or 10 hours without food. Research has also shown that skipping breakfast can lead to over-consumption of calories later in the day. In addition, breakfast is also an opportunity to take in important foods and nutrients needed to stay healthy.
If quality matters at breakfast, what should we be eating?
Amidor: "You don't need anything huge for breakfast, it's quality not quantity that matters most. By quality I mean foods that provide nutrients you need to keep you healthy, especially foods that we tend to under-consume.
Is cereal a healthy choice at breakfast?
Amidor shared ideas for breakfast besides cereal.
During a study at University of Hohenheim in Germany, however, a research group tested 17 healthy adults over the course of three days. During the three days, they were instructed to follow different schedules – one day they skipped breakfast, one day they consumed three regular meals and one day they skipped dinner. The research findings showed that people burned more calories over a 24-hour period when they extended their overnight fast compared to a normal three-meals-a-day diet. However, there were reports that glucose levels were higher after eating lunch on days where breakfast was skipped.
This study suggests that skipping breakfast can boost your metabolism. What do you think about that?
When it comes down to it, eating breakfast is important to a maintaining a balanced diet. While you're making decisions about what foods to eat, remember that quality matters. Be sure to diversify your food groups to get a great start to your day.
