According to a new report from "Research and Market", the global 3D Printing market would reach USD 23.79 billion (€ 20.24 billion) by 2025.
Also called Additive manufacturing, this technology is as a reminder a "procedure that produces parts through the successive addition of layers of materials in various 2D shapes". Once built upon one another, the layered 2D shapes form a 3D object. With other technologies such as the subtractive method of production, where the process begins with a block of material from which the unnecessary materials must be ground before obtaining the final shape of the object.
BeAM Machines, MarkForged, 3D Systems, Dassault Systems, GE Additive, EnvisionTec Inc. or Autodesk are some of the leading companies of this industrial sector.
However, desktop 3D printing is likely to hold a promising future owing to the growing popularity of the technology among hobbyists, innovators, and the education sector for technical training and domestic/personal uses. The technology is expected to be highly touted for its economic advantages rather than being perceived as a labor-intensive industrial manufacturing technique. Local shops that install 3D printers and offer 3D printing materials, filaments, 3D modeling, and 3D printer software have become an alternative business model, especially in developing economies such as Brazil, South Africa, and India.


1. Why should we use analytics?
2. Which platform should we use?
A majority of businesses utilize Google Analytics for many reasons – it's free, comprehensive, and relatively easy to use. While there are many popular competitors out there including Adobe Analytics, Yahoo Analytics, and Crazy Egg, Google Analytics has in many ways become an industry standard with more than 10 million websites using it as of 2012.
3. Why do we need to know anything more than how many visitors we get?
While it is useful to know how many visitors reach your site, a high traffic flow doesn't necessarily equate a successful website. Much of the traffic could be due to bots and web crawlers or the traffic may be reaching your site and clicking away fairly quickly (bounce rate).
Good web analytics can determine which pages or products attract your visitors, how long they stay on each page (indicating interest), and how they arrived at your site. Other key performance indicators (KPI), such as page load time, are also measured to help gauge the efficacy of the website. If the page takes too long to load, for instance, are visitors clicking away from your site in frustration? With the rise of mobile 4G LTE signals and high speed internet, patience is not rewarded in the online world. KPI's such as this can help optimize your website to make it more streamlined and marketable to future visitors.
4. What are our current challenges and can web analytics help solve them?
Web analytics can help determine the source of many website challenges. For example, if one of your company's products is underselling, analytics can show if there if there is a hiccup in the customer's route to the closing sales page. Is there a broken link along the route or a page that is not loading properly? Is the sales page too confusing and losing visitors at a high rate? Or, is the product link on the main page not prominent enough? If your website itself is gaining a high traffic rate but is suffering from a large bounce rate, analytics can pinpoint where that traffic is coming from. Are you attracting the wrong consumer base or is your landing page not supporting the proper marketing message? Search term breakdowns can show which keywords and topics were used to get them there.
While big data reports, such as Google analytics, can be daunting, a good Internet property management (IPM) company can help break it down. At Netsville, for instance, we not only provide our clients with weekly analytic reports but we also dig deep to offer recommendations on overcoming such challenges by identifying them as early as possible.
5. Will the reports be overwhelming and hard to read?
Raw web analytics are indeed complex with lots of information and data to process; however, they can easily be adapted for the needs of the business and the simple comprehension of the reader. Google Analytics provides many graphs and features such as location hot maps, visitor age/gender bar graphs, and a user flow chart indicating a visitor's journey from source to website to page-by-page. These features keep the reports informative and simple. At Netsville, we further customize our reports according to the client's goals and overall focus.

General Contractor Replaced for Seattle Arena
Less than a week after the groundbreaking of Seattle's new arena, officials announced that the general contractor for the project has been replaced.
Arena investors said last week that they have come to a "mutual agreement" with the Skanska-Hunt joint venture to part ways in terms of the project and that the JV is being replaced with Mortenson. Developer Oak View Group has also added architecture firm Rockwell Group to design the club level and suites.
Officials say that the change will not impact the project's timeline and was prompted by the rising costs—the estimate was initially at $600 million and had increased since up to $850 million last week. Any costs incurred because of the change will be absorbed by OVG.
Images: Populous
"Mortenson's local Seattle office spent five months leading pre-construction efforts on the arena project and is very familiar with our approach and goals,'' Ken Johnsen, senior construction executive on the project, said in a release.
"Given the market challenges and shift in timing, it did not make sense for our joint venture to move forward to the next phase of the project, so we recently came to a mutually agreed upon decision to end our joint venture's involvement with the arena project," added Skanska executive vice-president Kevin McCain.
The Seattle Times reports that much of the cost hikes are attributed to changes made by OVG as well as the National Hockey League, the rise in building material costs and the shortage of skilled labor.
"We're already deep into the transition process and look forward to assisting Oak View Group with its building of a world class, landmark venue for our great city," Mortenson senior vice-president John Nowoj said, also in the news release.
"Our company holds core to our mission: a commitment to excellence in economic inclusion and supplier diversity that will ensure we maximize the local impact and value of this tremendous project."
The Seattle City Council took the final step in green-lighting the redevelopment of KeyArena in September, unanimously approving the deal with The Seattle Arena Company, or ArenaCo, including OVG, which released information about the project in August. Oak View at the time tapped the joint venture of Skanska and AECOM Hunt as the general contractor of the project, with Populous as the architect and CAA ICON as project manager.
For the project, all updates to the structure will be done without touching the arena's famous roofline. Since KeyArena is a designated historic building, four supporting pylons will first be installed so that the entire interior can be redone. The playing floor will reportedly drop 15 feet, to 58 feet below grade, allowing playing lines for hockey and basketball to line up.
An additional 50,000 square feet will be added for more storage and premium club space, which will offer views of the Space Needle. The capacity for the venue will be expanded to 17,400 for NHL games at 18,600 for NBA, meaning the building's area will grow to 750,000 square feet.
Though an NBA team isn't in the works now, it is a long-term goal for the city. (Seattle's previous team, the SuperSonics, left for Oklahoma City in 2008.)
Originally, the project was supposed to be completed in time for the 2020-21 NHL season, but officials have now pushed back that date almost an entire year, looking at a spring 2021 target.

NEWSFLASH: Washington's Mall Shooter Is Turkish, Arcan Cetin – Media, It's Islamic Jihad, Stupid! FBI Covers Up Too.
Adina KutnickiSeptember 25, 2016
American Jihadist
Author: Adina Kutnicki
LIKE night follows day, one thing is for sure: more and more acts of Islamic jihad – whether "lone wolf" or executed through terror cells – will explode throughout America's streets. Effectively, the most recent back-to-back mall (and other) attacks are merely the beginning. Foretastes. Not only that, malls across America had already been predicted (at this site) as targeted places for sacrifices, so as to satiate Mohammedan blood lust. That ship has sailed. Read on.
NEXT UP: schools! Forewarned too.
MIND you, this time it won't be a random school shooting by (mostly) deranged teenage killers, rather, it will be Islam's soldiers for Allah in the forefront. As previously warned, it is already designated as part and parcel of stepped-up jihad within the nation. The point being, bloodshed via Muslims in America will spread and spread. Flow and flow.
AS reported last week: regardless of how many dead Americans pile up, the PC, leftward-bent, and Islamic-captured media will cover the asses of Allah's Muslim Terrorists. And don't "demand" an "apology" for said bluntness, it won't be forthcoming. Besides, that should be the least of anyone's concerns.
THE continual spread of infidel blood sacrifices within America was predicted at this site ad infinitum, as well as at interviews, and within a recently released book on Islamic Jihad's (social media) enablers. As recorded, the overarching analysis has never wavered: Allah's Muslim Terrorists will explode – in the very near future, and with ever more frequency – from one end of America to another. But it didn't have to be this way.
INDUBITABLY, every investigative journalist worth a damn should have seen this Allah sh-t-storm coming. Not only that, what about insiders within officialdom, privy to the most sensitive intelligence information and in control of massive assets to boot? Consequentially, the aforementioned recognize the perils at hand. Absolutely, a preponderance stoke the Jihadi fires too. Wait and see. Now, it is a given that the media is leftist-bent…..
BACK to more proof of the same.
WHILE mass shootings have been perpetrated by non-Muslims, the fact of the matter is that EVERY mass killing executed by Muslims is motivated by Islam; a nihilistic, pagan-like creed, paradoxically, shielded by its so-called monotheism mantra. How many times does this truth-telling have to be repeated?? (Un)holy jihad!
BUT like it or not, and whether officialdom, their media mouthpieces, or any arm of law enforcement refuses to fess up, this is where it's at. Yes, one way or another, regardless of this or that cover up, the real motive seeps to the fore. Indeed, those of us in alternative media promise as much.
SO, once again, let's veer back to just a smattering of core prognostications found at these pages.
As early as September 2013, certain counter-measures were prescribed by a main counter terror contact, that is, to shield/prepare against what is going to become – sooner than later – a jihadi war fought on American soil!
It reads in part:
To eliminate AMT's (Allah's Muslim Terrorists) the three have to happen:
1. The Islamic ideology must be branded as evil and dangerous.
2. All mosques, Islamic schools, and Islamic organizations such as CAIR must be closed and criminalized.
3. The U.S. must understand and demand all people who practice Islam and Sharia law to follow the U.S. Constitution, pledge allegiance to America, and stop the practice of following Islam. There will no longer be such a thing as radical Islam and moderate Muslims. Islam will be recognized for what it is, Islam, and moderate Muslims will be looked at for what they are (non practicing Muslims).
I, Dave Gaubatz, receive tons of hate mail and other emails saying this is America and we can not implement 1, 2, and 3 above. They will say it will never happen. I agree this will never happen in America and during our children's lifetime they will be forced to live in conformity with Islam and Sharia law.
I simply give direct answers based on my doing the same for our government for 24 years. The above is my analysis based on all evidence I have digested for decades. I do not desire a war, but the war has been brought to us by AMT's. We can either fight or we can throw in the white flag of surrender.
ALAS, the encircling jihadi dangers warranted more of the same:
AS noted above, back in Sept. 2013 (memo: "predicting" counter-terror assessments – in geo-political terms – from three and a half years ago seems like a lifetime, but no matter) the following was blared, but was anyone listening??
For several years I have been ringing bells, screaming at the top of my lungs, and doing everything I can to bring to the attention of Americans that our Shopping Malls and Public Schools will be attacked by Al Qaeda/ISIS, and we are not prepared to protect our loved ones.….
The 'Mall of America' (in MN) is the largest shopping mall in America. Thousands and thousands of people visit this mall on a daily basis. For just a second do you not believe Islamic terrorists don't know this. A friend of mine (Denise) suggested the attack in Kenya may be a 'dry run' for a shopping mall attack in America. Are our malls protected from such attacks? No. They are very ripe for a murderous attack by Islamic groups.
It makes me sad to know that the day will soon come when our shopping malls and schools will endure attacks by Islamic terrorists, yet due to political correctness we will do nothing to protect the innocent people at these locations. A metal detector and more armed police at our schools and malls would be more beneficial than one's at our airports….
In February 2015, the following was warned: in this regard, in order to prepare for what is coming America's way, exploding malls stand in the forefront. The danger has been cited, time and again, at this site. Lo and behold, Jeh Johnson, DHS's chief pyromaniac – two plus years after this investigative journalist – justannounced the threat to America's malls (Mall of America a forerunner) from his soapbox!
Moreover, in December 2015, a high-decibel alarm blared in the direction of America's most precious assets: the kiddies!
Resultant, multiple discussions ensued between this investigative journalist and a select few counter-terrorism contacts. Via several conference calls, we concentrated on America's kiddies because ALL signs, once again, pointed in their direction. We discussed, among other matters, what was considered the template of all templates: The 2004 Beslan school siege and massacre! The following was its upshot….
So, it is with the most acute warning level that this intel assessment is being given to the American people, at least to those who care about the welfare and safety of the kiddies. Now, this is not the first time that said clarion call has blared from this expert, as its basis was set forth in a tag-team interview (Sept. 2014) via"ISIS, Islam and Obama: Understanding The Threat To The Free World."
NEVERTHELESS, trust that its repeating is hardly jibber-jabber. Not for nothing. Think: Beslan's school massacre as a template! More here…
ALAS, with the above firmly and completely implanted in mind, patriots in America should hardly be shocked that ANOTHER mall was attacked, and this time by a Turk, another Muslim jihadi. Six of one, half a dozen of another. Not only that, this Muslim Brotherhood expert is warning, once again: under NO circumstances should you be cajoled into believing that this was a "random" attack sans any "motive", especially Islamic related.
Steve Sexton, the Mayor of Burlington, described the shooting as a "senseless act."
"It was the world knocking on our doorstep and it came to our little community here," he said before acknowledging the response by law enforcement. "I know now our support goes with them to bring this son of a bitch to justice."
Authorities offered no information about a possible motive for the attack, which followed a series of violent outbursts at shopping centers across the United States, including the stabbing of nine people at a Minnesota center last weekend.
"We have no indication that we have a terrorism act," said Michael Knutson, assistant special agent in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Seattle office. "I can't discount that, but I can't conclude it either."
While the police previously described the mall shooter as Hispanic, according to unconfirmed reports – as the police still hasn't released the suspect's name – the identity of the shooter is Arcan Cetin, aged 20…

OH yeah, just wait and see. The media will describe him as "mentally unstable" due to this and that, and with all the attendant knee-jerk verbiage they can muster. No matter. Rational folks recognize that this is a lying and mendacious tactic, and it is deployed, bomb-like, in order to cover up acts of jihad.
MOST significantly, the FBI has its hands tied, and this is a fact too. Even more so, let the record stand: when America's streets finally become a recognized jihadi "kill-zone", do not expect DHS to come to your rescue.
THIS time, no one should dare to say they weren't warned!!

For your convenience Erossimo are able to accept payments from all major credit and debit cards including: Visa, Visa Electron, Visa Delta, MasterCard, Maestro, Switch and Solo. Our specialist service provider will then process the transaction. After entering your personal card details on the payment page, the Nochex system automatically checks to see if your card is enrolled in the 3D Secure scheme.
3D Secure stands for Three Domain Secure - the payment industry's internet authentication standard which has been developed by the major card schemes. Visa has called their version of the scheme 'Verified by Visa' and MasterCard have called their equivalent initiative 'MasterCard SecureCode'. These are both collectively referred to as 3D Secure.
3D Secure authentication requires the cardholder to register their card to take advantage of this service. This is a one time process which takes place on the card issuer's website and involves the cardholder answering several security questions to which only the card issuer and cardholder will know the answer. The cardholder selects a password and agrees on a secret phrase, which will be used by the card issuer during each online transaction.
If your bank is participating, you are taken to the card issuers secure website where you need to enter your 3D Secure password. If you have not yet enrolled in the scheme you are offered the opportunity to register. You can then either sign up for 3D Secure, and proceed with the transaction or decline to sign up and proceed with the transaction as normal.

North Yorkshire – Middleham Town Twinned with Agincourt
Posted on September 3, 2016 | 25 Comments
"Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers."
William Shakespeare – 'Henry V'
Our version of the battle of Agincourt is almost entirely informed by William Shakespeare in the play Henry V but as with most of his histories this was a highly dubious account of what really happened and modern historians have reached the view that far from being gallant and chivalrous and still celebrated as a golden moment in England's history the battle was filthy, horrible and merciless.
Weapons were crude and brutal. Arrows from the longbows of the Welsh archers rained down and where the sword of a knight would not penetrate the armour of a noble foe and did not have the weight to knock a man off his feet, a poleaxe (a long-handled axe or hammer, topped with a fearsome spike) would fell him fast and then it was easy to raise the victim's visor and slide a knife through an eye. That was how hundreds of men died – their last sight on earth a dagger's point.
It turns out that Agincourt is not a tale of chivalry at all, but rather of desperate men hacking at each other to break limbs and crush skulls. Of hundreds of French soldiers weighed down by heavy armour submerged and drowning in mud. Hand to hand combat by men using lead-weighted hammers, poleaxes, mauls and falcon-beaks, the ghastly paraphernalia of medieval fighting.
At the height of the battle, when Henry V fearful of an attack on his rear he ordered the captured French prisoners to be slaughtered, an action today that would almost certainly be denounced as a war crime. He is alleged to have once said that 'War without fire is like sausages without mustard'. Even Shakespeare makes no attempt to omit this part of the story which would suggest that even in Tudor times such action was considered acceptable. There was no United Nations Rules of Engagement or Geneva Convention in 1415.
In the cold, wet dawn of October 25th 1415, no one could have realistically expected Henry's army to survive the day. This was about as unlikely as Leicester City winning the Premier League. He had about six thousand men, more than five thousand of them archers, while the French numbered at least thirty-thousand and were so confident of victory that, before the battle was joined, they sent away some newly arrived reinforcements – it didn't occur to them that they might need to make some half-time substitutions! By dusk on that Saint Crispin's Day, Henry's small army had entered military legend.
I visited the battle field in August 2013 and after a short drive from our hotel we arrived at the site of the battle that doesn't seem anything special now after all this time and we may well have missed what is now a rather unremarkable field in northern France if it wasn't for the roadside decoration where English archers and French cavalry faced each other once again in row after row of wooden statues.
A few neighbouring wind farms apart, the terrain has barely changed in the six hundred intervening years and today the battlefield is exactly that – a field, with ploughed ridges a foot deep, flanked by trees on either side. Sixty miles west of Lille, the flat country is broken up by poplars dotted with mistletoe, red-roofed bungalows and small Gothic churches with broach spires.
We stopped for a while and surveyed the field which gave no clues to the battle and then we continued to the Agincourt Museum.
I am not really sure what I was expecting but I was certainly surprised by the place. I had always imagined that France would have no real enthusiasm for financing and building a museum to commemorate a humiliating defeat but inside there was an unexpectedly balanced account of the battle and the history of the Hundred Years War (which I suppose the French did win at the end of the day so they can afford to be magnanimous about it) and in some of the displays and the explanations I had to remind myself that Henry was the English King and it was the French who were defeated here.
Anyway, six hundred years is a very long time and I don't suppose it really matters that much anymore and after all the French have been Republicans, on and off, for over two hundred years now so why should it matter to them a great deal whether the Plantagenets or the Valois won that day?
I remember studying Shakespeare's Henry V for English 'o' level and the school production of the play in 1969.
I auditioned but was not successful in securing a speaking part but was compensated with not one, but two roles as an extra. My first part was rather important as I was the servant who carried on the casket of tennis balls that is presented to King Henry by the French Ambassador in Act 1 Scene 2 and then I had to make a hasty costume change to become one of the English army, first at the siege of Harfleur in Act 3 scene 1 and then at the battle of Agincourt in Act 4 scene 1.
Rather like the French King, Charles VI, the failure to get a part in the play was a bit of a personal setback for me and I never auditioned for a part in the school play or any other sort of play ever again but I have to admit that this was no great loss to the theatrical profession.
By an interesting chronological coincidence the British fought another heroic battle on St Crispin's Day but this time without such a glorious result – The Charge of the Light Brigade on October 25th 1854.
"This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day."

Our greatest ever victory, back in the days when kings had to pay for their wealth and easy life by leading the army into battle.
After all of these years it remains a great story John. I wonder who might be regarded as our greatest warrior King? William the Conqueror, Richard the Lion Heart, Edward I, Edward III or Henry V?

Yikes! I had a few shivers with Sue over this one Andrew. Falcon beaks? Good grief!

Horrible but effective I imagine. A sharp point and a heavy weight behind it!

I'll remember that if I ever meet a burglar. Now where did I put that falcon beak?
I keep mine next to my Hawk's Talon!
You must be fun to watch at airport security. 🙂
Don't. We are flying next week and I hate that airport security experience!

Your theater troupe made fairly convincing warriors. And I don't know if I'll ever view sausages the same again (War without fire is like sausages without mustard) Or mustard 🙂
Personally I would never take mustard with sausages!

So much of history is depressing if you look too closely, Andrew. We've had a strange old relationship with France down the years.
… and so it goes on…

Interesting post about a brutal past. Not like the Shakespearean"heroic" version we got at school!
Some places and people sadly remain just as brutal!


When music is played during the mediation, it cane be a great way to focus your energy and direct your session. The question then becomes finding the right sound to direct your reflections. One way to direct your practice is to take advantage of meditation bowls, an ancient focal point of Eastern meditations.
Music for meditation should be simple and soothing, and at the same time non-intrusive. Some classic sounds that aid with meditation involve the humming of bee, rumbling thunder or crashing waves. What these noises have in common is that they inhabit a space where you are aware of them, yet they are not distracting. Meditation bowls, also known as Tibetan singing bowls or Himalayan bowls, inhabit the same space.
The meditation bowl is also known as a standing bell. Rather than hanging suspended, meditation bowls sit with the bottom surface resting. When the bowl is struck with a wooden mallet or clapper, the sides and surface of vibrate in a soothing, rolling frequency.
In Buddhist practice, meditation bowls are used to support prayers and meditations. The bowl is struck in time to hymns and prayers, providing an accent to the recitation of the sutras. The actual origin and use of the meditation bowl is shrouded in mystery. They have been found in both monasteries and private homes, and tend not to come in a specific size of configuration.
What is known is that that these meditation bowls can resonate with certain altered brain states. In these states, the brain can use the singing of the meditation bowl to push itself away from the body, creating a very deep trance state suitable for an experience of deliberation.
Antique meditation bowls tend to be made of bronze, including silver, gold, zinc, and nickel and are typically very simply designed. Modern meditation bowls tend to be more complexly decorated and are made from industrial quality metal. Modern meditation bowls tend not to provide the complex tones of the antique bowls, lacking the warmer undertones and instead chiming like a bell.
Meditation bowls are amazing aids to meditation, bringing though and consideration into sharper focus. The warm tones bring a clarity that resonates through your whole body.
There are several ways to meditation bowls. One way is to keep the bowl in the palm of your hand while running the mallet along the rim in a circular fashion. The gentle shushing sound travels through your body, giving you a purely physical sensation to your contemplation.
Another way to use the bowl is to tap the meditation bowl with the striker and let the bowl chime. The antique meditation bowls are excellent for this practice as the hand-hammered metal produces different tones in many different harmonics.
Meditation bowls can help your ruminations and travels through your life journey, leading you with a singing resonance that elevates you and grounds you at the same time.

Honda not seeking big IndyCar name
By alley October 9, 2013 5:34 AM
By alley | October 9, 2013 5:34 AM ET
Honda insists that it is not in a rush to secure a 'marquee' IndyCar team to replace current flagship squad Ganassi when it switches camps to Chevrolet next year.
While several Honda teams have won races this season, Ganassi is the only team in its current guise with an extensive track record of championship and Indianapolis 500 wins.
Chevrolet's group includes reigning champion Ryan Hunter-Reay's Andretti Autosport as well as multiple Indy 500 winner and regular title contender Penske.
Penske's close alliance with Chevrolet rules out any changes on that front, leading to growing speculation about whether Andretti could use Honda power next year.
Andretti is yet to confirm its engine plans for 2014, however HPD technical director Roger Griffiths says that despite the hole Ganassi's departure will leave, finding a like-for-like replacement is not necessarily a priority.
"We still have a job to do with Ganassi," he told AUTOSPORT. "We've still got a championship to win for us and for Scott [Dixon]. Yes, it's important to have a strong team, but it's more important to have depth within your teams.
"If you rely on one individual team to try and do it for you every time and something goes wrong with those guys, you're left looking.
"Yes, we'd love to have a big-name team. But that's not necessarily important if that big-name team can't deliver.
"You saw earlier in the year when our big-name team, for whatever reason, wasn't getting it done, but we had good results from AJ Foyt Racing, we had good results from the Coyne guys, Rahal's guys were up there running well.
"So that's we've got to focus on; the breadth of our group, rather than the pinnacle."
This weekend, Honda briefly moved into the lead of the manufacturers' championship for the first time in the current engine war era courtesy of Dixon's win in the opening race of the Houston double-header.
Will Power's victory in race two then meant Chevrolet drew level with Honda again, leaving the two engine builders tied in the standings heading to the Fontana finale.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today sought a definite timeline before 203 for reduction in cost of transferring money, a move that will help India as it is the world's largest recipient of remittances.
"Remittances are a key source of income for households and support for the economy in developing countries. We should define a target date before 2030 to reduce the high costs of transferring remittances," he said said in his intervention at G20 Working Lunch on Development and Climate Change in Antalya.
With about $70 billion in remittances in 2013, India is the largest recipient of officially recorded remittances in the world.
India has been pushing for global efforts to bring down transaction cost for remittances.
The transaction cost has already come down to 7.5 per cent because of a sustained campaign by India, from 10 per cent earlier.
The target is to bring it down to 3 per cent by 2030, NITI Aayog Vice Chairman and G20 Sherpa Arvind Panagariya had told reporters in New Delhi last week.

Brookville Wins AAA Title in Dominant Fashion
Maxfield Lane
BROOKVILLE, Pa. – Brookville jumped out to a quick lead and kept the momentum going all night in the Raiders' 69-46 win over Kane to win the D9 Class AAA title. The Raiders took a 13 point lead after the first quarter and built their lead up to 20 after three quarters in a game that Brookville dominated.
(Archived Photo from 2019-20 by: Jared Bakaysa)
Jace Miner led Brookville with 22 points, while Danny Lauer scored 18 for the Raiders. Hunter Geer also added 13 for Brookville. Kane was led by Zuke Smith, who scored 13 points. Carson Whiteman chipped in with 10 for the Wolves.
Brookville started on the front foot, using a persistent full-court press and tough inside scoring to jump out to an early 10-4 lead. A Lauer three increased the Brookville lead to nine, and a few possessions later, an acrobatic layup by Miner upped the Raiders' advantage to 13. The Raiders' defense was supreme during the period, allowing only one point during the back end of the first half. Brookville's strong two-way performance had the Raiders up 18-5 after the first quarter.
The second period began with fast-paced offense, with both teams hitting from both down low and from distance. The game became increasingly physical, with Brookville looking to score on driving layups, while Kane had some success scoring after offensive rebounds. The Wolves' defense improved during the second quarter, but Kane still struggled to generate the offense needed to cut into the lead. Brookville ended the half up 33-21, after a last-second three-pointer by Robert Keth was off the mark.
Both teams exchanged buckets to begin the second half, with Kane briefly cutting Brookville's lead to single digits. Brookville began to take charge midway through the quarter, scoring on nearly every offensive possession to balloon their lead to 19. Brookville's advantage remained through the rest of the quarter, with a spectacular last-second three by Lauer building Brookville's lead up to 50-29 after three quarters.
The Raiders cruised through the rest of the contest, slowing down the pace and sitting on their large lead. Brookville was able to preserve their 20 point advantage throughout the entire fourth quarter, as the Raiders cruised their way to a 69-46 victory to clinch the D9 Class AAA title.
Brookville will advance to the Class AAA State Quarterfinals, where they will battle with the winner of the game between the District 5 and District 8 champions.


Monday night, Oregon Secretary of State Bill Bradbury gave a talk to about 30 Eastern Oregonians and, in the end, charged them to make a difference individually when it comes to climate change.
He compared the problem of climate change and global warming to other social issues fought in the United States, such as slavery, women's suffrage and segregation.
"A lot of times we wonder if we have the courage, or the resolve, or ability to take this issue on," Bradbury said. "But if you look at our history, that kind of challenge really is the very foundation of this country."
Bradbury on a slide show, the first half of which mirrored Al Gore's slide show and film, "An Inconvenient Truth." Bradbury was one of the first fifty participants to be trained by Gore to give the talk.
Bradbury said the slide show is always being adjusted – even just before Monday's presentation he was changing a few slides.
He has added slides and topics to make the slide show less general and more specific to Oregon, including addressing glaciers shrinking on the Cascades, the dead zone off the Oregon coast and wildfires exploding in the west.
Bradbury showed a map of Mount Hood's glaciers and pointed out the White River Glacier, which he said shrunk by 61 percent in the last century. The shrinkage of other glaciers on the mountain varied. White River shrunk most substantially, but other percentages were lower, shrinking 36 percent or 15 percent.
"All of them have been shrinking," he said.
That decrease in glaciers, along with warming trends, could also affect snowpack. Bradbury said by 2040, it's estimated the snowpack will decrease by 44 percent and 58 percent by 2060.
"I think all of us here know how much we depend on snowpack for river flow," he said. "How much we depend on snowpack for salmon migration, how much I depend on snowpack because I like to take my kayak on the Rogue River and run the rapids in the summer."
Bradbury also showed how climate change is affecting other waters, particularly off the Oregon coast.
"The best example of wind patterns really doing something different is the dead zone," he said. "The ocean off the central Oregon coast experienced its most severe dead zone in recorded history in the summer of 2006. The dead zone is dead because of extremely low oxygen in the water."
He showed video of the sea floor carpeted with the carcasses of crabs and fish where there should have been bare rock or sea plants.
"What you're looking at here is some dead fish and a lot of dead crabs," Bradbury said. "Because the crabs couldn't get out of the low oxygen water and they just asphyxiated."
Bradbury said scientists once couldn't be sure of a connection between climate change and dead zones, but the science community recently issued a report saying the opposite.
"Dead zones like this one are caused by changes in wind patterns and changes in wind patterns are consistent with the effects of climate change," Bradbury said.
The west also is seeing changes in fire behavior during the summers. At the end of August 2006, there were 82 wildfires burning at the same time in the northwest, west and southwest, Bradbury said.
"I think all of us know there's devastating impacts coming from wildfires," Bradbury said. "Whether it be wildlife habitat, … whether it be the value of timber or whether it be salmon trying to make it through the water to get out of the stream."
After an hour-long lecture on the daunting challenges of climate change, Bradbury ended with his suggestions of how people can make a difference and challenged them to do so.
"We have the ability to deal with this problem," he said. "We live in a democracy where we can bring our concerns forward… . But the process starts with each citizen standing up and making sure their voice is heard.
"I believe the 21st century can be a time of incredible renewal," he continued. "If we unleash our creativity, our innovation, our inspiration, we will open up a world of new opportunity and solve this problem. It's up to us. The choice is ours. The responsibility is ours. The future is ours."
1. Demand our country join an international treaty for global warming pollution.
2. Take personal action to reduce our own carbon dioxide pollution on a personal level. Take small actions, such as ride a bike or walk more often, buy compact fluorescent bulbs.
3. Fight for a moratorium on construction of any new-generating facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store carbon dioxide.
4. Work for a dramatic increase in energy efficiency at your home, place of work or place of worship.
5. Work to see that the government passes laws and policies that expand the use of renewal energy.
7 Buy from business and support leaders who share the commitment to stopping climate crisis.
