The Miracle at the Inn
By Betty Wall Madsen
Retold by Sterling W. Sill
The story centers around a little ten-year-old boy by the name of Haun. Haun was a little crippled boy, the son of Japhet, the innkeeper at Bethlehem. Because of his twisted back and his awkward hump, he was unable to run and play and do the things that the other boys did. But Haun was a fine boy, and he was made responsible by his father for the care of the inn stable where the animals were kept. Haun loved animals and he did his work in the stable with great pride and joy. Day after day he faithfully worked at his job to keep the stable clean and make it a pleasant place. Sometimes Haun obtained permission from his parents to sleep in the stable with the animals that he loved. He took such pride in his work in the stable and he loved the animals so that it was a great delight to him when he could sleep in his bed in the manger.
Then tax time came, when many people came crowding into Bethlehem. With all of the activity on this particular day Haun worked very hard as there was much to be done. But Haun also liked to watch the people who came to stay in the inn owned by his father. Long after the inn had been filled, Joseph and Mary came seeking a place to spend the night. While Joseph was talking with Japhet, Haun held the gray donkey on which Mary sat. He loved all animals, but he particularly loved this little donkey. But more than all, he loved the beautiful young woman who was so kind to him as she waited. She asked Haun about himself and Haun told her about his work and the animals that he cared for.
Haun heard his father tell Joseph that they had no room in the inn. He saw the disappointment on Mary's face as she wondered what they would do, where they could go. All of Bethlehem was crowded. Every bed and corner already been taken.
Haun felt a queer feeling of regret settle in his stomach as he tried to think of some way to help them. As Joseph turned the donkey around and started to leave, little crippled Haun had an idea. What about his bed in the manger? Excitedly he tugged at his father's arm as he told him his plan. When he saw by the expression on his father's face that his father would not object, he ran after Joseph and Mary as best he could until he caught up with them. Then to this kind, friendly lady he offered his bed on the hay in the manger of the stable. Haun must have taken great pride in helping them to get settled and making them comfortable. He gave them his lantern, which was so helpful after dark.
Later that night Haun and his parents were awakened by music and voices. The stable was shining with a beautiful light. His father said, "Haun, my son, we will go to the stable and see the cause of this strange occurrence. I have never seen such a beautiful light before." Then Haun and his father and mother went quickly to the stable behind the inn. As they walked, Japhet put his arm protectingly across Haun's misshapen shoulder. The stable door stood open. Haun's lantern had been lighted and hung from the rafters, and across the threshold a warm, golden yellow light fell. Joseph stood by the manger, his eyes not tired now. The beautiful lady lay upon Haun's bed of hay and held a baby in her arms. Haun gave an exclamation of surprise. He thought, "My mother is beautiful, but this lady is like light." Then Haun thought, "What a beautiful baby!"
In his great eagerness and haste to get a closer look he fell and sprawled awkwardly upon the stable floor toward the manger. After collecting himself, he reached up and took hold of the side of the manger and pulled himself up until his head rested against the edge of the manger bed. He was usually more humiliated than hurt when his crippled body caused him to fall, as it made him appear awkward in the presence of strangers. This time he held his lips pressed firmly together.
His embarrassment passed quickly, however, as he heard the soft voice of Mary speaking to him, saying, "Haun, I think my little son loves you very much. See, his tiny hand is laid against your head." Then they heard the singing of the angels, and Haun felt an inner feeling that he had never known before. His crippled body arose quickly. He had never before moved with such swiftness, nor had he ever felt as happy. His head was erect; there was joy in his heart. His shadow cast upon the stable wall by the lantern now seemed tall and straight and strong.
The prophets had foretold that Jesus would be born in Bethlehem under very humble circumstances. The Lord had also said something about using the weak in his service. Maybe Haun had been especially selected to provide his clean, comfortable place for the Christchild to be born. How happy he was that he had done his work so well, that the stable was ready and such a pleasant place. It looked so beautiful to Haun now, filled as it was with radiant golden light. These wonderful visitors were really his guests. There was no room for then in the inn and no room any place in Bethlehem, but Haun had made room in what to him was the best place of all, the stable among the animals that he loved. Later the shepherds and others also came to Haun's stable to see the Son of God.
Haun would always remember this wonderful night, but what was more, he would remember his wonderful guests. There would always be room in his heart for the Christ, which God had directed to him. Certainly Haun would always keep own life clean, pleasant, and worthy. Who knows but that at some later day Haun may again have felt the hand of Jesus upon his head and who in all of Christ's ministry would be more entitled to hear the Master say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."

Gross Domestic Product for the U.S. Virgin Islands, 2020
Explore Product View
EMBARGOED UNTIL RELEASE AT 10:00 A.M. EST, Friday, March 4, 2022
BEA 22—07
Gross Domestic Product by Industry and Compensation by Industry, 2019
Real gross domestic product (GDP) for the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) decreased 2.2 percent in 2020 after increasing 2.8 percent in 2019 (table 1.3), according to statistics released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). These statistics were developed under the Statistical Improvement Program funded by the Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) of the U.S. Department of the Interior.
GDP for 2020
The decrease in real GDP reflected decreases in exports of services, private fixed investment, personal consumption expenditures, and government spending (table 1.4). These decreases were partly offset by an increase in private inventory investment. Imports, a subtraction item in the calculation of GDP, declined.
COVID-19 Impact on the 2020 USVI GDP Estimate
The USVI economy was substantially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic due to its effects on spending by consumers, visitors, businesses, and governments. The U.S. government passed several laws to support and sustain businesses and individuals through the pandemic. Expenditures funded by the various federal grants and transfer payments are reflected in the GDP estimates. However, the full effects of the pandemic cannot be quantified in the GDP statistics for the USVI because the impacts are generally embedded in source data and cannot be separately identified.
Exports of services, which consists primarily of spending by visitors, decreased 43.5 percent (table 1.3). Total visitor arrivals declined 58.5 percent, according to statistics from the USVI government, reflecting the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Private fixed investment decreased 27.7 percent, reflecting declines in business spending on construction and equipment. Despite this decline, private-sector investment spending remained at an elevated level (table 1.2), supported by capital improvement projects ongoing in 2020 to resume oil refinery operations on St. Croix.
Personal consumption expenditures decreased 5.0 percent, reflecting declines in spending on goods, such as motor vehicles and household appliances, and services, as nonessential businesses throughout the territory were subject to mandatory reductions in operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Government spending decreased 4.0 percent, reflecting a decrease in territorial government spending that was partly offset by an increase in federal government spending. Territorial government spending decreased 7.2 percent, reflecting a continued decline in disaster response and recovery activities following the 2017 hurricanes. Although spending in 2020 was supported by Coronavirus Relief Fund payments, prior year spending was elevated by expenditures funded by federal disaster grants.
The declines in the components above were partly offset by an increase in private inventory investment, reflecting an increase in crude oil and other petroleum products imported and stored in the islands.
Imports decreased 10.6 percent, reflecting declines in imports of goods including consumer goods and equipment and in imports of services.
GDP by industry and compensation by industry for 2019
In 2019, GDP increased 2.8 percent. The newly available GDP by industry data, which are released on a 1-year lag, reveal that both the private sector and government sector contributed to growth in real GDP in 2019 (table 2.5).
Growth in the private sector was widespread; the largest increase was in accommodation and food services, which increased 14.4 percent, reflecting growth in visitor spending (table 2.4). Goods-producing industries increased 5.5 percent, reflecting an increase in construction activity, including construction related to the restart of the oil refinery on St. Croix.
The government sector increased 2.5 percent, primarily reflecting increases in compensation for both federal and territorial government employees.
Total compensation increased in 2019, reflecting growth in all industries shown (table 2.6). The largest contributor was goods-producing industries, which includes the construction industry.
The accompanying news release tables present estimates for GDP and its major components, GDP by industry, compensation by industry, and estimates of gross domestic income.
Data Availability for the 2020 USVI GDP Estimate
Due to lags in the availability of source data, in particular for territorial government spending and territorial government sales to the household sector, the estimates presented in the news release are preliminary for 2020. As of February 2022, most of the USVI government's fiscal year 2020 audited financial statements were unavailable. In place of these financial statements, BEA used information from a variety of alternate data sources, including budget documents, unaudited operating statements, reports on federal grant expenditures, and the USVI government's Open Finance database, which includes checkbook-level spending by the primary government.
Updates to GDP and Related Estimates for Prior Years
Estimates for 2018 and 2019 that were released on May 26, 2021, have been revised to incorporate updates to source data, including the following:
Newly available audited financial statements for the Government of USVI and its independent agencies and
Revised data on shipments from the U.S. Census Bureau's International Trade in Goods and Services (FT-900) report.
The revised estimates exhibit a pattern of inflation-adjusted GDP growth similar to the previously published estimates (table 1.7).
For more information on data sources underlying these estimates, see "Summary of Methodologies: Gross Domestic Product for American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands."

Gross domestic product (GDP) is the value of the goods and services produced by the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) economy less the value of the goods and services used up in production. GDP is also equal to the sum of personal consumption expenditures, private fixed investment, change in private inventories, net exports of goods and services, and government consumption expenditures and gross investment.
Personal consumption expenditures measures the goods and services purchased by "persons"—that is, by households and by nonprofit institutions serving households—who are resident in the USVI.
Private fixed investment measures spending by private businesses, nonprofit institutions, and households on fixed assets in the USVI economy. Fixed assets consists of structures, equipment, and software that are used in the production of goods and services.
Change in private inventories, or "private inventory investment," is a measure of the value of the change in the physical volume of the inventories—additions less withdrawals—that businesses maintain to support their production and distribution activities.
Net exports of goods and services is the difference between exports of goods and services and imports of goods and services. Exports measures the portion of total USVI production of goods and services that is provided to the rest of the world. Imports measures the portion of total USVI expenditures that is accounted for by goods and services provided by the rest of the world.
Government consumption expenditures and gross investment, or "government spending," measures the portion of GDP that is accounted for by the government sector. Government consumption expenditures consists of spending by government to produce and provide services to the public. Gross investment consists of spending by government for fixed assets that directly benefit the public or that assist government agencies in their production activities.
Gross domestic income (GDI) is the sum of incomes earned and costs incurred in the production of GDP. In national economic accounting, GDP and GDI are conceptually equal.
Current-dollar estimates are valued in the prices of the period when the transactions occurred—that is, at "market value" (also referred to as "nominal estimates" or as "current-price estimates").
Real values are inflation-adjusted estimates—that is, estimates that exclude the effects of price changes.
Preliminary estimates are based on source data that are incomplete and subject to revision.
Statistical conventions
Quantities ("real" volume measures) and prices are expressed as index numbers with a specified reference year equal to 100 (currently 2012). Quantity and price indexes are calculated using a Fisher chain-weighted formula that incorporates weights from two adjacent years. "Real" dollar series are calculated by multiplying the quantity index by the current-dollar value in the reference year and then dividing by 100.
Chained-dollar values are not additive, because the relative weights for a given period differ from those of the reference year.

Ángel Villafranca, President of Cooperativas Agro-alimentarias de Espana.
Young farmers can ensure their own future profitability by playing a lead role in the co-operative movement, according to the president of Spain's leading agri co-op.
Co-operativas Agro-alimentarias de Espana president Ángel Villafranca, has called on young farmers to lead the democratic governance of their co-operatives.
He was addressing the topic 'Young farmers and tomorrow's agri-food co-operatives' at the Cogeca Business Forumin Valencia, Spain.
"The main challenge facing young people is the profitability of agriculture, they need competitive and viable farms, and that is linked to business projects, fit to size," he said.
More than 300 participants from 24 EU member states were at the forum, most of whom were young farmers.
Cogeca co-hosted the event with Co-operativas Agro-alimentarias de Espana. The young farmers present discussed strategies to sustain a viable future for farmers, better delivery for consumers, and a well-functioning food chain.
Co-operativas Agro-alimentarias de Espana is the collective body for 3,800 Spanish agri co-ops, with over 1m members, directly employing around 96,000 workers and with an overall annual turnover of €26bn.
Copa-Cogeca represents the interests of 40,000 EU farmer co-ops, including the Irish group Icos. The Copa-Cogeca-affiliated co-ops collectively employ around 660,000 people across Europe and with a global annual turnover in excess of €300bn.

Translating research into technology
Associate Professor Valencia Koomson is developing a first-of-its-kind wearable device to help doctors monitor patients' tissue oxygenation without requiring access to a heavy power source.
When researchers and medical professionals need to measure a patient's cerebral and tissue oxygenation, they choose from a variety of tools – positron emission tomography (PET), magnetoencephalography (MEG), electroencephalogram (EEG), computerized tomography (CT), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans can all provide key data. However, there are a number of drawbacks to current diagnostic tools. These systems are prohibitively expensive. They can have slow response times, low spatial resolution, and be distressingly loud for patients, and they rely on large components that draw enormous amounts of power and are not suited to being manufactured at small sizes. They require access to a heavy external battery or a wall socket, so if movement is required, patients are connected to a fiber optic cable harness that interferes with their freedom of motion.
Associate Professor Valencia Koomson and researchers in her Advanced Integrated Circuits and Systems Laboratory in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering are developing an innovation that could change the game entirely. The HemoSensis prototype would be the first frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy (fdNIRS) device to measure cerebral and tissue oximetry in a compact form factor – untethering patients from bulky, power-hungry instruments and providing a lower-cost, noninvasive monitoring tool at the bedside.
Without oxygen, tissue and brain cells quickly begin to die. Severe brain damage and death can occur after just a few moments of oxygen deprivation. The HemoSensis device could help doctors and researchers better monitor vulnerable premature babies' health, assess traumatic brain injury for patients in hospital intensive care units, or diagnose injuries in combat zones or low-resource environments where drawing large amounts of electricity or installing heavy, expensive equipment is out of reach.
The proposed prototype measures less than one cubic centimeter and requires a very small amount of power. It uses low-cost, solid-state optical devices and a system-on-chip platform. "The core processing unit is a custom-designed fdNIRS microchip that combines opto-electronic interface drivers and complex signal processing circuitry with detection on a single 5mm x 5mm piece of silicon," says Koomson. Additional benefits of the proposed prototype include a higher signal-to-noise ratio (the ratio that compares the strength of a signal carrying information to the strength of interference), the ability to measure at selective depth sensitivity rather than only measuring intensity, and improved spatial resolution.
Koomson wants to produce a scalable product that could be easily incorporated across multiple platforms and create an entire new class of wearable oximeter instruments. With funding provided by a National Science Foundation (NSF) Partnerships for Innovation Technology Transfer grant, Koomson's team is developing the initial proof-of-concept device now. Their work builds on the foundation set by Koomson's earlier research, funded by a 2011 NSF CAREER Award, on a new class of imaging sensors that can characterize biological structures at minimal disruption for patients.
Koomson's team is making good use of Tufts' strong footprint in entrepreneurship, involving colleagues from across the university and beyond. To name just a few Tufts partners, they plan to collaborate with the Tufts Entrepreneurship Center, Tufts Gordon Institute, the M.S. in Innovation and Management program, the Office of Technology Licensing and Industrial Collaboration, and Tufts Clinical and Translational Science Institute. The research team participated in the NSF Innovation Corps Spark Program, hosted at MIT this summer, to further explore the potential applications of the new technology.
Koomson has her eye on the future. "Our device addresses a medical need that's not currently met by existing technology," she says. "I'm looking forward to advancing our work in frequency domain tissue spectroscopy techniques and reaching a significant new milestone in the development of point-of-care diagnostic tools."
This research is funded by National Science Foundation award 1919038, "PFI-TT: A Noninvasive Biological Research Tool for Measurement of Tissue and Cerebral Oxygenation."

Market size and transport costs are important ingredients of international trade. We propose to look at these issues from a different perspective. Using a Hotelling duopoly model with quadratic transport costs, we analyse the welfare effects of international trade between two countries that differ only in size. Our results indicate that in most cases free trade will lead to a decrease in prices. Furthermore, the firm of the small country will benefit from market expansion. Finally, the model predicts that the small country benefits from a move towards free trade whereas the opening to trade may hurt the large country.

These days, my life is filled with projects I only had time to dream about before our Intermission. Harnessing my creative side used to live in the background of my daily life, but the last few weeks have been all about new things to tackle.
Take this incredible chicken soup for example; we enjoyed many a meal from our bird, but yesterday, I was able to take it for one final spin. I started by making stock with the non-edible parts. Once that was ready, I added a taste of spring using fresh peas, tomatoes, and bok choy from our buddies garden, then tossed in sliced onion, garlic, dry pasta, and two lime halves. The lime provided a citrusy under-layer that remains undetected until your bite is complete, and brings this dish to a whole new level. This soup isn't just soup to me, it's a step towards my goal of learning or making at least one new thing every. single. day.
People ask about how we've changed because of our travels, but it's a hard thing to assess until you run into experiences that cause different reactions from pre-departure. The old me, she would have been happy with roasting a whole chicken for the first time. The new me, she's happier that every scrap was used, and that new skills and techniques were learned. Make some room Martha, I'm ready to take some big bites out of this amazing world.

At this time there is no FDA approved treatment for TBI. Experiments have been done with cooling helmets and hyperbaric oxygen chambers, but these have not led to FDA approval. Physicians keep trying. Recently scientists as the Salk Institute for Biological Study observed that a compound called CNB-001 (the active ingredient in the curry spice tumeric) effectively protected brain cells in animals from damage consequent to ischemic stroke and TBI.
In collaboration with researchers at Cedars-Sinai and UCLA the Salk Institute scientists tested a synthetic derivative of this compound. They found that after inducing ischemic stroke or TBI in animals, and giving them the synthetic tumeric compound, the animals' behavior was relatively normal. During autopsy they found the brain cells in these animals had been spared much of the damage which normally flows from ischemic stroke and TBI. The compound does not work by dissolving blood clots (like the drug TPA for strokes). Rather it has a direct neuro-protective effect on traumatized brain cells. The study was published in the December 2, 2010 issue of the Journal of Neurochemistry. Research on the compound is still a far way off from any human trials.

Koshi Refreshment Centre is a project in Koshi province, Nepal, which is being constructed under Koshi Government. It lies on Mahendra Highway in Sunsari District. Its construction was started in 24 January 2020 by the then chief minister Sher Dhan Rai.

Background
First CM of Koshi province had planned the construction in 2018 but the site was not fixed. Initiatially it was planned to be opened in Jhapa but later it was decided to take in Sunsari District at Koshi Rural Municipality.

The then Chief Minister Sherdhan Rai-led government had set up a separate office for the construction of the Koshi Refreshment Center in the Koshi Katan area of the Koshi Rural Municipality of Sunsari as a multi-year project.But the office was later dissolved.The office of the center was canceled by the state cabinet meeting held on Sunday. Although the office was canceled, the project was not canceled. Now Urban Development Office Morang will look after the construction of Koshi Refreshment Center.

The brand continues to strive to produce the best gear made today, including ropes, backpacks, harnesses, headlamps, foot wear, protective gear and other accessories.
Mammut focuses on environmental and social responsibility. From fundraising to support Peruvian mountain guides to using environmentally friendly materials, Mammut aims to protect the environment that climbers love so much. For example, they use fairly-produced organic cotton and fabrics made out of recycled materials. Mammut also offsets much of its CO2 production and collects used outdoor gear to recycle. This is a brand you can buy with a clean conscience.
When you climb, the gear you use can be the difference between a scary fall and a fun day. With well over a century of experience in the climbing industry, this brand's designers know what climbers need to stay safe. Mammut Cord comes in different sizes and strengths for different climbing needs. It has a strong, braided core and is strong and easy to tie. Mammut's Pro Cord has benefits over an old fashioned cord. For example, the outer cord sheath and inner core do not slip. The cord also has greater strength and a stable form.
Mammut makes a selection of other safety-oriented gear, including avalanche packages. Many extreme climbers and skiers like to venture into avalanche territory, where an avalanche package can save lives. The Mammut Pulse Plus Light Avalance Package comes with a probe, shovel and transceiver to help locate and recover avalanche victims. The transceiver in this avalanche package uses three antennas and has a 360-degree view. Mammut's Element Plus Light Avalance Package also comes with a probe, shovel and transceiver to help find avalanche victims. The transceiver allows you to find victims precisely in close range and also to determine whether there are more deeply buried victims.
Vision is incredibly important in all types of outdoor sports. The Mammut Lucido X-Zoom Headlamp allows the wearer to focus the angle of light between 5 degrees and 45 degrees, giving you control over your field of view. The brand's X-Shot Headlamp has an LED spotlight and two lateral LED floodlights for extended visibility. The headlamp works for up to 90 hours with 3 AA batteries and reaches a distance of 110 meters.
With a commitment to safety and professional-quality gear, Mammut supports professional athletes through a yearly team climbing journey in some of the best climbing locations in the world. The brand also provides support for individual snow and climbing athletes. Through the sponsorship of world-class professionals, Mammut is able to support deserving athletes and gain expert insight into the needs of climbers and snow sport professionals. With all the history, safety innovations, and environmental and social responsibility that Mammut brings to the table, climbers of all levels are able to find the gear needed to achieve their full potential and meet their own environmental standards.

Computer and tech shows are flat, says TradeshowWeek. The 89 shows in its "Eighth Annual Computer & Electronics Show Report" averaged less than a 1 percent increase in number of exhibiting firms and net square feet in 1999. But 13-year-old Supercomm breaks the pattern in a big way, "growing at an 18 percent to 20 percent clip each year," says its general manager, Jack Chalden. In fact, in the Tradeshow Week 200, a ranking of the 200 largest U.S. trade shows in terms of net square feet of

Hjo Energi AB är ett kommunalt företag i Hjo, som grundades som Hjo Elverk 1945. Företaget distribuerar el och fjärrvärme i Hjo tätort. Det bolagiserades 1987 som Hjo Energi AB.

Det första elverket i Hjo grundades av Hjo Mekaniska Verkstad , som 1900 lät anlägga Hammarsdammen i Hjoån och bygga ett kraftverk för likström. Företaget skrev 1902 kontrakt med Hjo stad om elleveranser för femton år. Kraftstationen försåg sedan Hjo med ström till långt fram på 1950-talet.

Eldistributionen i Hjo tätort övertogs av ett av staden ägt och kontrollerat elverk från oktober 1945. Omläggning till växelström skedde därefter och blev klar 1950. År 1956 togs ett nytt ställverket i drift för att klara mottagande av el från Trollhätte Kraftverk med högre spänning.

Hjos värmeverk togs i bruk hösten 1999 och nätet för fjärrvärmen är under fortsatt uppbyggnad. I samband med fjärrvärmeutbyggnaden har också ett nät för bredband och kabel-TV byggts upp. Fibernät byggs nu upp både i Hjo stad och i den övriga kommunen genom det delägda företaget Bredband Östra Skaraborg AB.

Hjo Energis anläggning i gult tegel har en huvudbyggnad från 1955 och en transformatorstation. Huvudbyggnaden är uppförd efter ritningar av P.O. Ljungmark Arkitektkontor i Skövde.

Three quickfire charts on US bond market sentiment...some of these sentiment charts are clearly at an extreme - and that's usually when you go looking for contrarian signals. But then I look at a lot of charts on the bond market and it's quite easy to make a case for a major trend change.
The standout here is speculative futures positioning in the 30 year, which has gone from neutral to extreme short. Total capitulation.
This one shows where equity vs. bond market futures positioning lies right now - notice how the gap is at a record high. Traders are doubling down on growth/inflation here.
Last one shows a massive lurch in bond fund flows, with net-outflows the most extreme since the taper tantrum.


In the timeless stove setup, the cooktop and oven are combined as a single appliance, most frequently a 30-inch appliance with four beers over an oven. The concept of being able to have a separate wall mount (or two!) Is pretty exciting for many home cooks considering a kitchen remodel.
Are you currently considering new cooking appliances? Maybe not everybody's dream setup will work in their kitchen, and some appliance configurations function better than others in a specific space. Check out the options here.
Double oven. Ovens separate from the cooktop offer homeowners more flexibility with their design. Also, a lot of men and women prefer elevated ovens rather than having to bend down to use a stove. It is definitely better in your spine! If you have room with this arrangement and can get a place for your microwave, then this is a great setup. In a kitchen in this way, a microwave drawer hidden on the back of the island is a great alternative. The main sink in the island allows for the sleek electric cooktop to be located on the back wall.
Variations: Double ovens normally come in 24-, 27- and 30-inch widths; the entire heights vary.
Stacked double oven. This is the most recognizable setup, and most producers take variations of this appliance. Most cupboard manufacturers also supply conventional stainless oven cabinets for this kind of appliance. The double oven unit often includes one or two drawers under; the appliance is roughly 10 to 16 inches or so off the ground, including the toe-kick space.
Single microwave, oven and warming drawer combo. This arrangement is also pretty typical. It is terrific if you have space for a tall cupboard. (I like it best next to other tall pieces, like a refrigerator pantry, as shown here.) This setup is also a excellent way to earn the space for all three of those appliances. I like to do this with a range so that you get an extra oven. This kitchen shows this choice with a cooktop and a toaster below from the island rather, which makes sense for this kitchen.
Raised side-by-side single ovens. That is an arrangement seen more frequently in modern and modern kitchens. It is possible your cupboard company might offer a single-oven tall cupboard. You can do two of those side by side and make the upper and lower sections a food pantry.
In certain modern kitchen designs you'll see slightly raised single ovens set side by side, independently or with a warming drawer underneath. This can be used as a design component — it gets you a little elevated, bar-height counter space so that you don't shed all that into a couple of tall cabinets. In this kitchen the design creates a semiopen space together with the raised ovens; the framing around the refrigerator unit creates a space partition of sorts.
Base only ovens, independently or in tandem. Another arrangement is a separate wall mount or two in base cabinets. Shown here flanking a stove top is a pretty unusual setup. Some may ask why not simply do a 60-inch stove with two full-scale ovens and much more burners? Sure, that could work, however in this instance the homeowner is getting a bit more counter space.
A setup with two single ovens side by side with pedestal cabinets also functions, and it allows you to keep more counter space in addition to compared to having a tall cupboard. Also, some kitchens simply don't have the space for tall cabinets, which may earn a kitchen feel smaller.
A single wall mount set at a base cupboard under a cooktop is also an alternative, but be cautious — not each combination of this setup works with each manufacturer. You need to make sure that there's space for the cooktop to match above the oven.
In addition to the well-known built-in toaster options, there are a couple of unique versions which take you off the beaten path. This 36-inch gas wall mount with French door access is a commercial-style wall mount for the home kitchen.
Rotisseries are entertaining accessories to your wall mount. My husband moved through Cook's Illustrated and its various chicken roasting techniques: rotisserie, broiled, broiled on a beer-can stand, at a roasting dish trussed and nontrussed, turned and not turned try it out on your own and findyour preferred method!
Full extension racks à la the type you get in your cupboard rollout shelves nowadays are welcome wall oven accessories.
Don't have space for over one wall oven? Get two in the distance of a single.
Steam ovens are a fantastic new addition into the appliance marketplace. Healthy cooking, moisture without additional fat and being able to evidence bread are only a few of the perks that come with this smart unit.


I know the ingredients said to toss in about 17-21 large shrimp, but these were on sale and I like A LOT of shrimp!!!! Honestly, I don't really think the quantity makes a difference. Just add as many…or few…as you prefer!
First things first. Boil your pasta. That always takes a while for me, so I like to start that first. And I always toss in a little bit of salt to speed up the boiling process!!! And with this dish, I also drizzled in some olive oil to the boiling water, per Barefoot Contessa's recommendation. Anyway….while the water's boiling, let's go ahead and zest & juice the lemons and melt the butter.
And just incase you can't tell, from left to right we have the lemon juice, zested lemon peel, and the melted butter.
Let's go ahead & start roasting the shrimp, shall we?! Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Every good roasting starts with a copious amount of olive oil and kosher salt, right?!?! OH how I LOVE roasted anything!!!! But shrimp?!?! I've NEVER roasted shrimp before!!! I was missing out, for sure!!!
Put your shrimp in a large bowl and toss in the olive oil.
Now sprinkle on the kosher salt….
And follow it up with some pepper.
Mix until the shrimp are evenly coated and transfer to a baking pan making sure they're spread out in one even layer. Cook for about 6-8 minutes or until cooked all the way through.
At this point, your pasta should be all ready. Go ahead & drain the pasta, but make sure you reserve some of the liquid…about 1/2 a cup. Return the pasta back to the pot and toss with 1/4 cup of olive oil, melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking liquid from the pasta.
Mix well until the pasta is evenly coated. Then toss in the shrimp.
Looks great... and what a simple ingredient list! (Helpful hint...because I am lazy: Put a piece of parchment or foil down under the shrimp... cleanup will be even simpler!) Another tip: Enjoy with a nice glass of wine... Riesling, perhaps?
Mmmm.. so simple and delicious! Can't wait to make this at home for the soon-to-be hubs!
That is super similar to the Lemon pasta Giada De Laurentis says is her favorite go to food on lazy nights. I make it probably every other week, we really love it! It's only big difference is that it has a ton of parmesan cheese in it!
This was delicious! My husband and I loved it. I'm pretty sure it will be replacing our current shrimp scampi recipe. I added a little freshly grated Parmesan on top and it added great flavor. Yum! Love your blog!
My oven doesn't have a "Roasting" setting, so what temp should I roast the shrimp at?


Society loves to extol the virtues of the strong, independent woman who's always got it together, who never shows weakness.
But you know what takes REAL courage and strength?
The ability to be vulnerable.
Because while vulnerability opens you up to rejection, it also opens you up to acceptance. Acceptance by the people God actually wants in your life. Acceptance by a partner who truly loves the real you, and wants to cherish that woman, not the one you pretend to be with everyone else.
Talk more. Get in the practice of starting more conversations. With the custodian at your job, the cashier at the grocery store, the person sitting next to you in the waiting room. The more you hold even simple conversations with people, the easier it becomes to talk about yourself and open up.
Make small revelations. Please, don't put all your business out there to everyone you meet! But (some) confession is good for the soul. Always wanted to cut your hair? Tell a stranger with short hair that you admire her style, and confess that you're not brave enough to do it. Again, you are testing the waters with small things now so it's easier to have the deeper conversations when you meet your ideal man.
Spend more time with kids. Seriously, kids have absolutely no filter! And we (sometimes) find that adorable. Spending more time with kids will teach you a lot about being yourself and not taking things so seriously.
Speak your mind. This is the reason why people associate "vulnerable" with "weak." Vulnerability lies in honesty. It goes far beyond being able to cry in front of someone else. It's unapologetically speaking your truth. Truly Vulnerable women are Cherished women because they know how to articulate their needs, spell out their boundaries, and give their opinions- even around people they're afraid to hurt or be hurt by.
Ask others for help. This may sound obvious, but in order to be cherished and cared for, you have to allow people to take care of you! I see it all the time, women who are so used to handling everything on their own, that they push away men who try to relieve some of their burdens. Stop being so overwhelmed, and start having the courage to ask people to do even small tasks for you.
Those are just a few ways to embrace vulnerability. Which one do you plan to try today? And if you know someone who could use these tips, feel free to share this with them!

Q: How to change property of every control in application what I want to do is to give the user the ability to change some (here one) property of all text boxes in my application. When the user triggers my event, every textbox in every usercontrol, panel etc. is ought to be changed.
For Example all textboxes should change to Multiline=true; (I know this doesn't make much sense, but my needs a really similar to this), but how to achieve this without looping over every control?
I know I could do something like
foreach(Control item in FindForm().Controls)
{
    if(item is TextBox)
    {
         (item as TextBox).Multiline=true;
    }
}

but I don't think that this is a perfect nor a good solution.
I know I could write the settings to a file and read them when the app is starting, but how to change the properties while running the application?
My main problem know is that the ControlProperties don't let me give them a reference to a boolean object, so I can't easily change it in a "settings-object", or do I miss here something?

A: I don't know of any good tutorials to walk you through it but you can do a DataBinding to any property (including Multiline) not just the text one. This should do what you need to do.
this.txtField.DataBindings.Add(
    new System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Multiline",
         global::ProjectNamespace.Properties.Settings.Default,
         "BoolianSettingInConfigFile",
         true,
         System.Windows.Forms.DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged));

I used the config file in this example but it can be stored anywhere.

A: In these circumstances you have two basic options:  push the changes to the control (as you sample code does) or have the controls themselves pull the data from the configuration.
Using a pull approach will allow you to update controls at runtime.
You could use databinding on all of your textboxes to bind the 'Multiline' property of the textboxes to some central store of the setting. You could go further and derive custom textbox controls that automatically handle their own databinding setup on instantiation, so once you have replaced the textboxes with your own textbox type (this can actually be done with a search and replace in the code) you don't have to make any more code changes.

A: Maybe you could just use a data trigger and a globally accessible utility class:
Here's an example where at the click of a button all textblock's will have a red foreground
<Window x:Class="RoomUnit.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:c="clr-namespace:RoomUnit" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">

    <c:Utility x:Key="utility" />
    <Style TargetType="TextBlock">
        <Style.Triggers>
            <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Source={StaticResource utility},
                    Path=IsRed}" Value="true">
                <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red" />

KPAC Sunny passed away on April 18th following an heart attack. He was 72. He was active in stage and he entered film world in 1970. KPAC Sunny has acted in more than 250 films.
He had worked in a number of theatre groups in the state such as Kalanilayam, KPAC, Attingal Desabhimani, National, Nalanda and Vayalar Natakavedi. He had also authored a play titled 'Sneham Anaswaramanu'.


Sounds like a security/privacy setting is different on both channels. There is a channel and privacy role setting. Social network - mostly public vs. social network - federation. I'm not sure but this might be the reason.

Celtic tigers poised to cash in as Brexit storm crashes around London's finances
Nathanael Williams
Scotland and Ireland's financial experts seeks ways to defy Brexit and muscle in on London's market
THE SCOTTISH AND IRISH FINANCIAL SERVICES are looking at ways to cooperate in the face of Brexit according to insiders, experts and financiers.
Research bodies supported by the Irish Consulate General in Edinburgh, Enterprise Ireland and the Irish Business Network in Scotland will launch the Scottish-Irish Finance Initiative (SIFI) to see if they can expand financial services across both countries.
The news comes as Deutsche Bank announced it may close part of its major operations in the City of London and move 400 jobs to the continent in response to the EU stating that EU financial regulators and hubs could not remain in a Brexit UK.
"Surprisingly many financial companies aren't aware of the opportunities available to them just a short hop over the Irish Sea." Daniel Broby
Both Dublin and Edinburgh companies have been keen to promote themselves as alternatives if London does not get a favourable exemption deal in terms of being able to access the EU single market.
On a trip to Dublin last year, Scotland's first minister Nicola Sturgeon made overtures to politicians and business leaders in the Republic of Ireland.
Commenting on the initiative, Daniel Broby, Director of the Centre for Financial Regulation and Innovation at Strathclyde, a director of the Scottish-Irish Finance Initiative said: "Dublin, Edinburgh and Glasgow are amongst the most important financial hubs in Europe outside of London. Surprisingly many financial companies aren't aware of the opportunities available to them just a short hop over the Irish Sea.
Nicola Sturgeon tells corporate Ireland that Scotland will back the single market
"By concentrating on our strengths, lining up two English-speaking centres that share a similar legal system, and focusing on the fintech future, both Scotland and Ireland can turn challenges into advantages.
"What's also important to note is how our initiative may help firms in London overcome some of the issues associated with Brexit."
The SIFI will also look at ways to increase trade bilaterally between Scotland and the whole of Ireland at its inaugural meeting tonight at Irish Consulate General in Edinburgh.
Scotland's financial services industry employs 100,000 people directly and generates £8bn for the Scottish economy
Ireland has more than €3.7trn of assets handled and more than 500 firms operating in Dublin's International Financial Services Centre, with an average salary of more than €60,000. financial services account for 13.5 per cent of corporation tax revenues collected in the country.
In Scotland's case, the financial services industry employs 100,000 people directly, and a similar amount indirectly, generating £8bn for the Scottish economy. It has £800 bn worth of assets under management and holds a quarter of the UK's entire life assurance workforce.
John McGrane, director of the British Irish Chamber of Commerce, welcomed the initiative. "The Chamber is very supportive of initiatives to bring companies together across the Irish Sea. Scotland and Ireland have so much in common and the finance industry provides great opportunities for growth in both markets."

We are so excited to share with you today a few things that have been going on behind the scenes in the Clark family!
Our family business, Tastes of Lizzy T, has grown in amazing ways over the last 6 years and that is thanks to YOU. You are such an encouragement to us every time you visit our site to read about a recipe, pin a picture on Pinterest, share a picture on Instagram of a recipe of ours you've made or leave a friendly comment.
We would not be here sharing recipes we love if it weren't for you, so for that, we say thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
In the past year, over 17 million people have come to our site. WOW. Isn't that incredible?! Because God has blessed this business so much through all of you, we had been praying for a way to give back. Over the past few months, we've found a great way to do this and we want YOU, our biggest supporters, to know about it!
You all have been a blessing to us when you visit our site, and now we can all be a blessing to so many more people.
Although we love good food, we're not just about pretty pictures of gooey cinnamon rolls and crispy-skinned potatoes. We're not just about the latest kitchen tools that help us get dinner on the table quickly. We're a part of something bigger. And by visiting our site, you're a part of something bigger.
A goal of Tastes of Lizzy T is to love others around the world. We want to represent a place where food brings families together. We exist to help families all over the globe to create traditions and memories around the table. In order to do that, people need to at least be able to enjoy clean water wherever they may be.
Although we can't do everything, we want to do our part.
This time of year is pretty exciting for us. We meet with our accountant to go over our estimated earnings for the year to come. When we do that, we put aside how much we will be able to give to others in need. We truly feel that God has blessed us so that we can be faithful in loving others in a very tangible way.
Last October we were touched by some dear friends, the Marshalls, that have dedicated their lives to make sure villages in Mali, Africa, have clean water. This couple travels the countryside with their own well drilling equipment so that they can drill deep in the ground and install a self sustaining water supply in villages that don't have any water. This act of love can sometimes be dangerous and even life threatening.
We received a brochure from the Marshalls that told us how much it would cost to give just one village clean water. They split the cost into three parts. Drilling costs, pump and solar panels cost, and a water storage tank and system installation. Once they acquire enough funding for all three, they start the drilling process.
Thanks to your support, we were very excited to be able to write a check for a complete well system so that they could start building a well in the village of Mouzoun, Mali immediately.
What is the problem with water in Africa?
In Africa an estimated 783 Million people live day to day without clean water. In fact, Mali is one of the countries in Africa that less than 25% of the population have clean water.  Can you imagine a family trying to grow in an environment without clean water? Many villagers will travel miles each day just to get a bucket of clean water. An experience I can't even imagine. It breaks our heart.
Why is water polluted in Africa?
From what I have read, urbanization is driving the damming of rivers, destruction of wetlands, and the pollution of waterways that feed villages. If urbanization isn't done properly, it can lead to major impacts to other communities. We have a creek behind our house. Often I have wondered, what would happen creeks like ours weren't protected and kept clean? How would this affect everyone downstream?
Is it just about clean water?
Water means more to a village than just for drinking. Without water you can't build a community. The village of Mouzoun wanted to build a church because a church in Mali represents community. A place that everyone can come, get water, take showers, play games and encourage each other.
We didn't realize that clean drinking water enables so much more in a village like Mouzoun. By providing water, this enables aid workers and missionaries to move forward on so many other projects to take care of physical and spiritual needs in Africa.
What does it take to build a well?
The project went in stages.
First, they had to drill the well and use a temporary pump and generator. Second, they installed a water tank in January. Once that was in place, thirdly they installed the well with the pump and sufficient plumbing. This enabled an entire work crew in January to start building the foundation of the church using the new water source to build bricks.
Traveling back and forth within Mali can be dangerous. One trip that the Marshalls made almost cost them their lives. Having been told the road was safe to travel, they proceeded on their journey only to be slowed down on a very rough, pothole ridden road.
Several kilometers up the road they saw a tanker stopped in the oncoming lane of traffic and an old accident on the side of the road. Accidents are common in the rural areas. However, as they rolled closer to it, they noticed an armed man in grey camouflage and a turban. The only thing they could do was back up quickly and pray for the best.
As they began to back up, the armed man, only 120 feet away, began to wave his assault rifle at them and came running towards them. The man started firing at them and the Marshalls had to duck below the dash. Because the Marshalls had drawn the attention of the armed men, others fleeing on foot were able to escape. Once again, God spared their lives.
What does a well do for a community?
So what does a well do for a community? And are natives excited about the wells being drilled?
The Marshalls came back a few weeks later after the village had been using the well so that he could finish reinforcing and welding. For the three days he was there to finish, he was shocked at how many people were using the well. People came from early morning till about 10:00 at night.
There were hundreds of people in a steady stream. The Marshalls asked some of the church men if there are other sources of water in other towns. Their response to him was, "Oh yes, there are two other water points, but they all have a bitter taste to them. Everyone comes to the church well, because it is the best fresh water well in the entire area." How awesome is that??
Everyone who came, could receive not just water but aid and supplies from Samaritan's Purse. It's it awesome to see a group of kids with the shoeboxes that we filled this past holiday season?
It sure is. And we thank you for allowing us to be a part of this. And we thank you for being a major part of this story and being part of our Tastes of Lizzy T's family!


Say hi to Helena Fairfax, one of my fellow authors at Accent Press. Helena was born in Uganda and came to England as a child. She's grown used to the cold now, and these days she lives in an old Victorian mill town in Yorkshire. After many years working in factories and dark, satanic mills, Helena now writes full-time. She walks the Yorkshire moors every day with her rescue dog, and finds this romantic landscape the perfect place to dream up her heroes and her happy endings.
Tell us about your writing, Helena – what lessons have you learned on the way to finding a publisher for your work?
I wrote The Silk Romance as part of the Romantic Novelists' Association's New Writers' Scheme. I'm forever indebted for the critique I received from my reader in the RNA, who advised me to focus on the conflict between the hero and heroine, and to make the story character-driven rather than plot-driven. I bear this in mind whenever I'm beginning a fresh project.
Good advice! [Stores it away…] So are you now a complete writing obsessive?
Not by any means! I'm certainly a reading obsessive, though, and honestly think I may be addicted to reading. My idea of a nightmare is being stuck on a train with no book to read. If no book is to hand, I'll read anything – the back of a cereal packet or an old bus timetable!
I like anything creative where you can see things take shape. (This includes writing, of course.) I enjoy gardening, for example, and I also love knitting. At the minute I'm knitting a cardigan for my soon-to-be-born niece. After that, one of my grown-up nieces has requested a bright pink cover for her iPhone, so that's next on my list. I love doing tapestries and needlework, too, and in one of my cupboards I have a pattern to stitch a replica of Gustav Klimt's The Kiss, complete with gold thread. It's very complicated, but it looks fabulous. It's my dream to finish this one day!
You must have a load more patience than I have! Getting back to writing – what inspired your latest novel?
A few years ago I accompanied a group of disadvantaged teenagers from a German city on a week in a hostel near Ilkley. The German lads were both enthralled – and a little terrified! – by the vast open moors around them and the flocks of hardy Yorkshire sheep. I took some of their reactions and wove them into my London heroine's feelings, along with her teenage charges.
The very first germ of an idea for my hero, Paul, came from watching the film Love, Actually. There's a scene where Keira Knightley discovers her husband's best man has been in love with her for years. I thought how strong this man must have been to keep his secret for so long, and how loyal he'd been to his friend. The best man disappears from the film, and I wondered what happened to him? How did he go on? Did he love again?
If a character lives in yor mind after you've finished reading a book or watching a film, that's a great character. What are you working on now?
I've just finished my fourth novel, which is set in the Lake District. The hero has inherited an ailing hotel, and the heroine arrives to help him turn it around. My working title is Happiness at the Cross Hotel My heroine is called Felicity, and I like the symbolism of it!
Tell me, Helena, have you any other published books available?
Yes, I have two other, shorter romance novels published. The Silk Romance is set in a modern-day silk mill in the historic silk-weaving district in Lyon. There's an alpha French male and an equally determined English heroine.
My second novel, The Antique Love, is set around London's oldest royal park, in Richmond. My Wyoming hero has all the romantic appearance of a cowboy, but is in fact a logical accountant. By contrast, the heroine is the romantic owner of an antique shop on the King's Road. I had fun bringing their very different personalities together!
Groan! More books to add to my reading list! Thanks for joining me today, Helena, it's been fun chatting.
Thanks so much for having me today, Jenny, and for being such a gracious host!
Helena Fairfax writes engaging contemporary romances with sympathetic heroines and heroes she's secretly in love with. Her first novel, The Silk Romance, was a contender for the Romantic Novelists' Association Joan Hessayon Award and a runner-up in the Global Ebook Awards. Her work in progress was recently shortlisted for the Exeter Novel Prize.
After the death of her husband in Afghanistan, Kate Hemingway's world collapses around her. She spends her free time with a charity for teenage girls in London, helping them mend their broken lives – which is ironic, since her own life is fractured beyond repair.
Reserved, ex-public school journalist Paul Farrell is everything Kate and her teenage charges aren't. But when Paul agrees to help Kate with her charity on a trip to the Yorkshire moors, he makes a stunning revelation that changes everything.
Can Kate take a risk with her son's happiness as well as her own?
Sounds lovely. I particularly like where you drew your inspiration for the hero from. Another for my tbr pile!
Thanks for dropping in, Gill!
Lovely interview and I enjoyed learning even more about you, Helena! That Klimt replica sounds like a wonderful project.
Thanks, Rosemary. I really must get on with that project, as I'm sure it will take months and months to complete! Thanks for dropping in!
I enjoyed your three novels, Helena. It's funny how different things nobody else might notice can trigger our imagination and plant the seed for a new story, and how it can take a long time – years even – to develop. I recently found a box filled with my very attempts at novel writing which I thought I had thrown away years and years ago, and I was amazed to read one of them, which had the original idea for Angel Heart. I had completely forgotten about it! I am very much looking forward to reading your Lakes novel!


TEXAS A WINNER! (But we already knew that!) Based on the first set of data from the 2010 Census–Texas, the nation's second-largest state after California, was the big winner in the decade just ending. With its low home prices and pro-business, pro-growth policies, Texas felt comparatively little effect from the housing meltdown and has bounced back from the recession faster than other big states. Our unemployment rate has fallen to 8.2%, whereas the nation's is hovering near 10%.
And the population of the Lone Star State surged nearly 21% to more than 25.1 million over the decade, adding to our expanding economic base and congressional delegation—the latter a significant source of future economic vitality because of the growing delegation's ability to steer federal spending to the state. Businesses are following the people, and Houston is one of the fastest growing cities in the Nation.
This is good news for both buyers and sellers of real estate. There are still great "buy opportunities", with low interest rates. But on the "sell side", there is definitely a growing market for properties!

All Suncity junket VIP rooms in Australia closing: report
Aug 19, 2019 Newsdesk Latest News, Top of the deck, World
Macau junket investor Suncity Group is said to be closing all its VIP rooms in Australia. That is according to a report by Australian media outlet The Age.
According to previous corporate information presented by privately-held Suncity Group, the firm hosts a VIP gaming club in Crown Melbourne, a property run by Crown Resorts Ltd; and another one in the Star Sydney, the latter operated by the Star Entertainment Group Ltd.
The Age quoted Star Entertainment's management saying it had reached a deal to close down Suncity Group's fixed high-roller room at the Star Sydney.
The Australian newspaper additionally quoted unnamed sources saying that Suncity Group's fixed high-roller room at the Crown Resorts casino in Melbourne would also be closing down.
"The fixed room of Suncity will be discontinued here," Star Entertainment's chief executive Matt Bekier reportedly told The Age on Friday. "They had a small fixed room. That room is being closed."
The Australian newspaper added that Mr Bekier would not comment on the extent to which Star Entertainment would continue to maintain business relations with Suncity Group following the closure of the VIP room at the Star Sydney.
On Friday, Star Entertainment said its turnover from foreign high rollers was nearly AUD42.4 billion (US$28.8 billion) for the 12 months to June 30, 30.7 percent less than in the prior-year period. International VIP revenue for the period was down 17.6 percent, to AUD586.0 million, said the company in a filing to the Australian Securities Exchange.
An Australian criminal intelligence body announced in late July a special investigation of gambling junket operators from overseas that partner with local casino operators in that country, looking at whether there are risks such business could be compromised by criminals.
News of the initiative from the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) came amid accounts carried in that nation's media that alleged Australian casino operator Crown Resorts' business had been used as a conduit for money laundering and Chinese organised crime activities via high-roller gambling.
Macau junket operator Suncity Group had been mentioned in Australian media reports as having a commercial presence in Australia, although reports did not specifically link the brand to any ongoing investigations. But in early August, a report published by The Age claimed that Suncity Group boss Alvin Chau Cheok Wa had been banned from entering Australia. The news outlet cited official sources said to have spoken on condition of anonymity.
Hong Kong-listed Suncity Group Holdings Ltd eventually denied that the firm or its controlling shareholder and chairman Mr Chau were being investigated by authorities in Australia. The firm added that Mr Chau had no plans to visit that country in the next 12 months.
Suncity Group Holdings does not list on its balance sheet any of the Macau junket-related businesses, but is an investor in a large-scale casino resort complex in Hoi An, Vietnam, where it says it has a deal to manage gaming. The listed entity has stated it also has a deal to manage the gaming at a casino resort in Sihanoukville, Cambodia.
Meanwhile, the privately-held Suncity Group announced last week it held a soft opening for a VIP club at the Resorts World Manila casino complex, a property close to Manila International Airport. With the opening of this latest venue, Suncity Group said it was now present in all of the four large scale, private-sector casino resorts in the Philippines' capital.
