Trues stories of real Men, Women and events. Also my honest opinion on an array of issues. Lets just say I write. Luckily, I don't bite!
Meeting Benjamin Kogo recently in his home in Kabirsang Village of Nandi County, nothing in the old man betrays his world beating athletics prowess. Nothing at all, until he speaks, tells you that he is indeed the 1968 Summer Olympics silver medalist in 3000 meters steeplechase, an event now globally acceptable as a Kenyan preserve. Though living in his humble home, little known, he belongs in his own right, to the group of individuals forming the early Kenyan running elites.
Benjamin Kipkurgat Arap Kogo was born in 1945 in Arwos in the vast, tea and maize planting County of Nandi. He traces the beginnings of his running career to his days in primary school when he participated in the inter districts games which drew participants from the then very big districts of Nandi, Elgeyo Marakwet and Nakuru. "Those days when we started running, we used to do it barefoot. There were no shoes for athletes." Kogo says he ran in numerous school tournaments before his talent was noticed and called for assignment on behalf of the country.
Kogo is however quick to point out that despite his success on the field, no form of recognition has come his way. "I am as you see me. No one still remembers me. I and my colleagues did our best during our time, but now that old age is catching up with us, no one seems remember what we did." He says that the athletics officials, some of whom were his peers on the track should initiate ways of recognizing and rewarding all the retired athletes who won medals in their respective events during their careers. Kogo remembers how reception was when they returned from representing Kenya in competitions. "The welcomes were a simple affair. A luncheon or dinner where we could eat after which every team member was seen off to their respective people for seven a days leave from work." He explains that there was no monetary reward for their effort in service to the nation.
Before his retirement in 1976, Kogo served this country in the military as a mechanic. He lives with his wife in his farm in Kabirsang, Nandi County, near Kapsabet Town where he does tea farming. He keeps cattle and plants maize for subsistence purposes.
Nandi County is recognized the world over as the producer of the most successful athletes including the celebrated Kipchoge Keino, a gold medalist at Mexico City 1968 and Munich in 1972 Olympic games and Prof. Mike Boit, a Bronze medalist at Munich 1972 Olympics, the 1968 Olympic gold medalist Amos Kipwambok Biwott and the 1973 All-Africa Games gold medalist Tecla Chemabwai. Others include two times Boston Marathon champion Moses Tanui and Commonwealth games gold medalist Japheth Kimutai. The County still basks in the athletics limelight as the recent past and current crop of world beating athletes like Pamela Jelimo, Richard Mateelong, Wilfred Bungei, Janet Chepkosgei and Super Henry Rono, Kenya Paralympian Henry Kirwa, among many others, hail from Nandi.
1. Swift: Benjamin Kogo won gold at the first All-Africa Games held in 1965 in Brazzaville. He is also a bronze medalist from the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games.
3. Kenyan Style: Benjamin Kogo flies high in 3000m steeplechase action. He is silver medalist from 1968 Summer Olympics, in Mexico City. The event was won by his fellow Kenyan, Amos Biwott.

I came across this which did make me laugh.
Has anyone got or tried Garrys mod and what exactly does it do ?.
Is it like you're playing bots but you can make them look weird and add things to the environment ?.
Cat has version 10... I've just got version 9.
Download the free one first.. it's like a demo, and you can do most of the stuff on it, but it is very buggy. The full version is under £10, I understand.
It's very fun, and I'm surprised you haven't heard of it before.
When I saw the video with the T's and the CT's dancing I thought it was to do with CSS - did'nt realise it was a HL2 mod...."slaps forehead".
You can do basically everything you can imagine, if you put your mind to it. You spawn in a map, and from there you have access to a whole gigantic menu which contains props from many ct maps, hl2 maps/stages and of course tonnes of other specialmade items.
Theres a new(well, 1 year old) addon in it, called wiremod, where you wire things and make it more advanced...How should I explain that. For instance: normally you place a rocket somewhere, and bind it to a key, so it launches when you press that key. The special about wiremod, is that you can sort of program your own things... One example, place a button with a determined value when pressed...The button sends that value through wires, to another chip/thing/whatever and it triggers certain events. Some things I've made myself: 10 second countdown explosive, all the maths done by wire-chips and gates, an automated hoverbot that follows people around(can of course add lasers on pubs ), an elevator and much more...I have to say it's well worth the £10 for GMod 10.
Cheers Runario, sounds like fun so I think I might give it a go.
Since when did you have to buy it, it used to be free!
move to source mods forum?
GMod 11 is imo the best game in existance!
There is no set ghoal to the game. There are differnt servers. I'll name a few - Roleplaying, serious rolf playing, sandbox (construction), Gcombat (fight eachotehr with contraptions etc), racing.
I woul say no due to the game having little structure also we'd have to decide on what type of server etc.
hmmmm ;D fair do's any one else???
IM STILL A DoD:S LOVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a fairly fanatic Gmod player.
I used to be really into serious RP, but dropped out - the communities are unorgnanised and mostly full of annoying kids.
Now I'm working on Gcombat stuff (although I'm no good), so if we got a server with that (Even if it was private) that'd be cracking.
I used to do RP. BBRoleplay. That place is fail, liek you said - packed with annoying kids.

TUGA TANGO arrives to its 4th edition!
«In praise of you: you have, absolutely, created "a thing of beauty".» – Isabelle, England – Tuga Tango 2017.
After travelling across the globe and having visited some of the major Tango events in the world, we dreamt of organizing an event of our own in our home town: the charismatic and enchanting Lisbon, Capital city of our beautiful country – Portugal!
The goal was simple: Over the course of 4 days, to become the best hosts anyone would wish for and to create an unforgettable Tango experience to the International Tango Community.
And so, TUGA TANGO MARATHON was born!
An accessible venue from the airport (less than 15 minutes by taxi or use the metro with a beautiful 10 minute walk through the old town) and in the heart of the city. When you leave the venue, the beautiful and magnetic city is on hand for Sightseeing, Pastel eating, Ginjinha drinking, Tram riding and Bacalhao catching.
An inviting and cosy venue, with a huge wooden dance floor, large enough to accommodate dancing and socialising. Plentiful with tables and chairs to ensure everyone has a place to be. That is, a place to sit, chill, eat and drink and have inspiring conversations in between Tandas. In short, we wanted to create the feeling of a proper Milonga.
A fantastic sound system so that all dancers can truly enjoy the music their dancing to, wherever they are in the Ronda.
A bar "full to the brim" of carefully selected Wines & Spirits which are honestly priced. You are here to dance, so you want a good wine to support your evening.
A support team that are Tangueros first and foremost, so that they understand your Marathon needs, first hand. Providing the warmest of Portuguese hospitality, you can expect them to be happy, effective, dedicated, full of positive energy and always ready to help in any given situation.
A time of the year with sunny days and temperatures which are just right: Lisbon in November is the perfect timing for a close embrace.
All of this we have to offer you during Lisbon "TUGA TANGO" Marathon.
Most of all, be sure that we'll be using all our experience from the previous three editions of this event, including all of the comments gathered from the participants, to your benefit. And that is why the 2019 edition will surprise even the already addicted TUGA TANGO marathoners!
Join us, and we promise you'll have an experience never to forget!

WWI Steyr M95 Sniper Carbine
August 14, 2018 Ian McCollum Bolt Action Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Video 6
RIA's catalog page for this rifle
During World War One, Austria-Hungary produced about 13,000 sniper rifles and carbines – and while the significant majority of these were full length rifles, the Empire was the only major power to produce a scoped sniper carbine during the war. These continued to be produced until about 1920 or 1921, to be used as war reparations to Italy. However, Italy never made use of them, and the vast majority were eventually scrapped. For this reason, they are very scarce rifles today.
Because the M95 loaded using a 5-round Mannlicher type en bloc clip, the scope on the M95 snipers had to be offset to the left of the action. Scopes from 5 different manufacturers were used, including many purchased form Germany in the early stages of the war. This particular one is a Reichert scope, but Kahles, Suss, Fuess, and Oigee were also used. Most, including this one, were of 3x magnification. The reticle is a German post type, with a dial adjustment on the scope for 100 to 600 meters, which moves the reticle vertically in the field of view.
Several numbers are stamped on the various parts of an M95 sniper. There will be an assembly number on the front scope base which should match the number on the right side of the rear scope ring. In addition to matching the scope to its base during assembly, this also indicates production number, as sniper rifles were numbered sequentially by AZF, where they were built. There will be another number on the left side of the rear scope ring, which should match the barrel serial number of the rifle or carbine.

Norman Johnston says:
Very interesting video.
Before I start commenting about the rifle in question, I'd like to apologize to Daweo for the confusion yesterday. I wasn't in my best thinking mood and messed up a whole lot of stuff during our argument.
An offset scope to accommodate clip-loading trades "intuitive aiming" for a faster reload. And no, detachable magazines are NOT a good option for this era as detachable box magazines for bolt-action rifles were FREAKISHLY EXPENSIVE TO MANUFACTURE at the time unless you wanted them to fall apart should a jumpy recruit accidentally drop his rifle on the ground. To make things more confusing, the detachable magazines were only detachable for cleaning purposes.
Perhaps the Swiss solution was the best with the angular offset action. Clip-loading like the usual service rifle and a centered scope!
As for self-loading rifles with scopes, perhaps the Heinemann action would work, with its side-mounted magazine and side-swinging toggle (so it won't whack your helmet). Clip loading is possible because the magazine is not inline with the scope then! I hope I got this right.
Most repeating military rifles used during Great War as default, were developed in end of 19th century/dawn of 20th century, when so far I know major military powers do not see need for usage of rifle with scopes. I am not sure about MAS-36: does they consider scope usage during design process?
Mountains, against the Italians… Scoped Carbines might have been handy.
The Italians wouldn't adopt the "bastards" rifles, afterwards.
Because they didn't like them.
Just a theory.
Andrea Turchi says:
We hade Carcano Model 1891 rifles with French and Italian Scopes but the Army consider them top secret and all of them were dismantled after the war.

Big B: From Reality to Fiction!
Fourteen years after his first television appearance on KBC, Amitabh Bachchan is set to play a fictional character on TV. afaqs! traces his television journey and tries to understand if Yudh can do for Sony what KBC did for Star Plus.
There are men, and there are Gods. There are only a few in the middle and one of them is Amitabh Harivansh Srivastava alias Amitabh Bachchan (his father had adopted the pen-name Bachchan; meaning "child-like" in colloquial Hindi). Facing the vulnerabilities of a common man, he rose from the ashes like a phoenix each time he was written off. And, once again he is here to do what he does best, challenge the game on the most widespread viewership platform, television.
Ending months of silence on what Bachchan's television fiction debut will be about, Multi Screen Media unveiled its first look on May 31, during the premiere of 'Gunday' on its flagship Hindi GEC (general entertainment channel), Sony Entertainment Television (SET), the channel on which the show will be telecast.
Titled Yudh, the show will feature Bachchan as a business tycoon whose business has taken a hit; he is troubled because the survival of about 10,000 people depend on his business. The man is also shown shuttling between the two women in his life, and has a son and a daughter.
KBC: The show that saved two sinking ships
This is Bachchan's second television venture. His debut on the idiot box was with the quiz show, 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' (the Indian adaptation of 'Who wants to be a Millionaire?') on July 3, 2000. Then in his late 50s, Bachchan was self-admittedly in debt and struggling to support his family. Big Synergy's KBC, albeit a risk, was a silver lining for him.
Back then, it was considered a step backward for a Bollywood star do a TV show.
Nikhil Rangnekar, CEO, Spatial Access, reasons, "In most cases, it is actors who are not so successful in films who turn to TV, and that's why it is seen as a backward step." He clarifies that while this does not apply for Bachchan, it still holds true for other actors.
When KBC was launched, it changed the game and went on to create history on Indian television. It got recognition to STAR India's flagship channel that was struggling for sustenance, and brought "much deserved" stardom back to Bachchan's life.
As per TAM data provided by a subscriber, the first season of KBC took Star Plus' share from 2 per cent to 25 per cent (six metros) in the 9 to 10 pm prime-time slot. Since then, it's been 14 years, and the show will be launched in its eighth season with Bachchan, soon. Except the third season, all the seasons were hosted by Bachchan.
According to Siddharth Basu, producer, Big Synergy, Bachchan's blockbuster punch with KBC exploded a myth. "Instead of shrinking anyone, the small screen has expanded, and added depth and connect to a star's reach beyond the larger than life appeal of cinema. It is a parallel career, with far assured higher returns, and substantially fire-walled against the risk of low viewership. But, of course, without that larger than life stardom of the big screen, there wouldn't be that star value on TV. So the two need to co-exist."
The trend-setter
Big B, as he is fondly called, made the small screen big with his charismatic presence, opening the door for the Bollywood fraternity to invade the TV screen. As his famous dialogue from Kaalia goes, "Hum jaha pe khade ho jaate hein, line wahin se shuru hoti hai (The queue always begins from the point where I stand). Since his debut, a flock of stars have made successful and not-so-successful attempts at hosting shows on the small screen, raising the stature of television forever.
Bollywood celebs have also captured television as reality show judges. Famous "big screen" faces have understood the power of the medium and have readily accepted offers to be a part of it.
TV catches up with Bollywood?
Shailesh Kapoor, founder and CEO, Ormax Media, opines, "TV is a strong medium with a reach much higher than cinema. But in terms of star appeal, film stars doing fiction content on TV is a definite step forward for the television industry."
Echoes Basu, "The reach of television is already far bigger than cinema, its annual revenues three times that of Indian movies in all languages combined. Fiction on TV has by and large remained cheap and cheerful, and the advent of big ticket fiction, mini-series and marquee names, augurs well for content and quality, but their sustainability will depend on the ratings and revenues they are able to garner."
However, Rangnekar adds, "TV is and will continue to play second fiddle to Bollywood."
In recent times, there have been several attempts to merge the star power of Bollywood with the reach of television. The trend setter '24' was the first fiction show that featured Bollywood stars like Anil Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Shabana Azmi and Tisca Chopra. Reportedly, Sony is also doing a fiction show with Jaya Bachchan which is being produced by Endemol India.
Such efforts have further reduced the gap between TV and Bollywood. "A number of such shows (read: fiction shows) are under consideration and in the pipeline," Basu adds.
Why a fiction for Bachchan, now?
Television as a medium requires a lot of time of actors and therefore, whenever a Bollywood star opts for it, it's a finite series. Bachchan's decision could have something to do with the fact that he now does fewer movies. Kapoor says, "The younger stars like Ranbir (Kapoor) and Ranveer (Singh) will avoid doing television fiction, as they are rightly focusing on increasing their fan base via cinema. But we should be able to see some of the more established stars consider fiction content on television in the years to come."
The other possible reason could be a good, viable script. With Bachchan understandably charging an exorbitant amount, the channel has to make considerable investment including the supporting cast and production of the show.
Kapoor agrees and adds, "TV economics did not allow for high budget fiction shows earlier, which they do now."
"For an actor of the stature of Bachchan, there is no right or wrong time for anything. He is a trendsetter. It could just be that since he doesn't do too many films these days, he might be looking at TV in order to continue acting regularly, which is in his blood," Rangnekar adds.
The Battleground
Kaun Banega Crorepati changed the fate of Star Plus. It increased sampling and helped Star Plus catapult to the No.1 position in the genre and remain there, with the help of other shows by Balaji Telefilms.
As compared to Star Plus, which was not an established channel before KBC, Sony has been a leader and has tasted success. While Sony is stumbling since the past few years, KBC too has lost its former appeal, with stagnation setting in and family quiz shows flooding various channels.
Experts are of the view that the channel will have to strengthen its other shows as well in order to leverage Yudh's viewership. "The current programmes on Sony are not so popular. The channel will definitely have to ramp up its programming and introduce fresh and new content to be able to leverage the viewership that Yuddh can possibly bring in," Rangnekar says.
Basu believes that drama series need a fine ensemble cast, regardless of whether they're big names. Sony has roped in actors like Kay Kay Menon, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sarika to support Bachchan in Yudh. Anurag Kashyap is the creative director of the show, which is being co-produced by Bachchan-owned production house Saraswati Creations and Endemol India.
"Whenever KBC is on-air, Mr. Bachchan rates as the most popular non-fiction character on television. He has strong equity amongst the family audiences. Anil Kapoor is a known face too, but Mr. Bachchan's popularity is far higher. But on television, characters work, not stars. So, a lot will depend on how the audience engages with his character in Yudh. A big-ticket show such as Yudh will definitely help Sony. The key will be how they can use it to launch new shows around it," Kapoor avers.
During the announcement of the show launch, Deepak Dhar, managing director and CEO, Endemol India had said, "An amalgamation of an ingenious original script, great production values, the inimitable style of Anurag Kashyap and the stupendous talent and persona of Mr. Bachchan; this finite fiction series is sure to be blockbuster television!"
For the record, Sony has already roped in Cadbury and Olx as the presenting and powered by sponsors, respectively.

I found this comic to be a mixed bag. The artist renditions of the characters were pretty good. What I did not care for was the amount of empty space in some of the panels. I prefer art with that has more detail in the backgrounds. Many of the panels had blank backgrounds. I rank the art as average due to the mixed reactions.
The story is interesting but lacks a narrative drive. The characterization was very good. I feel like I have known people similar to Alex and his friends. The part that was missing was the main theme was week. Alex comments at the end of this storyline that he is not sure why he is trying to free Ada from her programming.
The background technology is very good. I like the way appliances are run by voice command.
This review sounds very negative but I did enjoy the story and some of the details when I was reading it. Recommended for fans of human interest, laid back stories.

Why Paris
Why the seat matters
The not-for-profit association Paris, the Home of International Arbitration was created by different actors in the arbitration community in March 2009 with a sole objective: the promotion of Paris as the world's leading site for international arbitration.
As commerce continues to become ever more international, the business community is increasingly turning to arbitration as an efficient alternative to traditional litigation. Paris Arbitration association was created with a sole objective: the promotion of Paris as the world's leading site for international arbitration.
Members of our association participate in conferences and organize events in France and elsewhere in order to spread the word about the French understanding of and approach to international arbitration and to inform people of the advantages Paris has to offer as a seat for arbitrations.
The association has one driving principle guiding the action of all of our members, the promotion of arbitration in Paris in line with our core values:
Paris, the Home of International Arbitration was founded by arbitration specialists. Recognized experts in their fields, each of our members contributes years of experience and know-how.
The association's membership reflects the cultural diversity of the multitude of nationalities gathered together in the Paris's significant and welcoming arbitration community. A spirit of being open to the world is deeply ingrained in our community and in our association.
More than just members, the people who make up the association are specialists who are up to date on the most recent developments in arbitration. They have a common desire to share their knowledge and to help inform others as to why Paris is the leading centre for international arbitration.
Paris, the Home of International Arbitration is not an arbitration institute and does not make any appointments. It does not itself serve as an institution hosting or administering arbitral proceedings. Moreover, our association is not intended as a marketing tool for Parisian lawyers and law firms, but rather only to provide a resource for parties interested in selecting a seat for their arbitration or needing assistance in organizing a hearing in Paris.

Association Français d'Arbitrage (AFA)
http://www.afa-arbitrage.com
The Association Française d'Arbitrage (AFA), a not for profit association, is a commercial and generalist arbitration institution established in 1975 at the joint initiative of legal and business circles. The AFA promotes the use of arbitration in France and internationally to resolve disputes. It supervises arbitrations subject to its rules, which exist in French and English and were revised most recently in 2010. AFA arbitration is confidential, cost-effective and prompt, and it also benefits from the wide experience of AFA members and supervision of compliance with the AFA Rules by the AFA's Arbitration Committee. As mediation is an important element of the dispute resolution process, the AFA has reached an agreement with the Institut d'Expertise, d'Arbitrage et de Médiation (IEAM) under which the AFA recommends the IEAM rules of mediation and the IEAM refers arbitration matters to the AFA, thus ensuring that parties have effective choices for the resolution of their disputes. 8, avenue Bertie Albrecht 75008 Paris Tel.: +33 (0)1 53 77 24 31 Fax: +33 (0)1 45 63 93 92

Paris Bar
http://www.avocatparis.org
The Paris Bar has long supported the activities of the arbitration community and Paris's role as a seat of arbitration. Since 2005, the Paris Bar's Working Commission on International Arbitration has established itself as a genuine forum for discussion on the topic. The Commission routinely invites the Paris Bar to take positions on questions likely to assist the arbitration community. A decision of the Paris Bar Council has thus confirmed that the preparation of witnesses within the context of international arbitration does not violate ethical rules applicable to French attorneys. Furthermore, the Paris Bar now holds the position of observer to UNCITRAL's Working Group II on arbitration and conciliation. 11, place Dauphine 75053 Paris CEDEX 01 Tel.: +33 (0)1 80 27 19 20

About Leftover Feelings
In the midst of a global pandemic, John Hiatt walked into Historic RCA Studio B and opened up a lifetime full of leftover feelings.
"I was immediately taken back to 1970, when I got to Nashville," said Hiatt, who was at the studio to record with Dobro master Jerry Douglas and Douglas's band. "You can't not be aware of the records that were made there...Elvis, the Everly Brothers, Waylon Jennings doing 'Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line.' But all that history wasn't intimidating, because it's such a comfortable place to make music."
A half-century ago, Hiatt lived in a ratty, $15-a-week room on Nashville's 16th Avenue, less than a mile away from the RCA and Columbia studios that were the heartbeat of what had come to be known as "Music Row."
In the ensuing 50 years, he went from a scuffling young buck to a celebrated grand master of song. His lyrics and melodies have graced more than 20 studio albums, have been recorded by Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt and scores of others, and have earned him a place in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, a BMI Troubadour award, and a lifetime achievement in songwriting designation from the Americana Music Association.
He and wife Nancy live in a nicer neighborhood now, just out of town and within walking distance of Douglas, who reinvented the Dobro and is responsible for bringing the instrument to popular presence in modern times. Douglas has performed on more than 1,500 albums by artists including Ray Charles, George Jones, Alison Krauss, Earl Scruggs, and James Taylor, and none of those works sound a bit like this collaboration with Hiatt.
Leftover Feelings is neither a bluegrass album nor a return to Hiatt's 1980s days with slide guitar greats Ry Cooder and Sonny Landreth, though Douglas's opening riff on "Long, Black Electric Cadillac" nods to Landreth's charged intro to "Tennessee Plates," Hiatt's epic tale of heisting Elvis Presley's Cadillac, a car that was surely purchased with proceeds from some of the 250-plus songs the King recorded at Studio B.
There's no drummer, yet these grooves are deep and true. And while the up-tempo songs are, as ever, filled with delightful internal rhyme and sly aggression, The Jerry Douglas Band's empathetic musicianship nudges Hiatt to performances that are startlingly vulnerable. Built when Hiatt was five years old, Studio B was designed for music to be made in real time by musicians listening to each other and reacting in the emotional moment. That's what happened here: Five players on the studio floor, making decisions on instinct rather than calculation. All this is made possible, of course, by Hiatt's songs, one of which — "Music is Hot" — mentions the Studio B recording of Waylon Jennings singing "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line." The lyrics are explorations of individual experiences - family, loss, tough redemption, and long-term love — in which Hiatt reveals the universal.
The album answers the question Hiatt posed thirty years ago in "Listening to Old Voices": "Is it true we are possessed by all the ones we leave behind, or is it by their lives we are inspired?
The answer is "Yes."
Those lives are musical ones, as recorded in the studio where he and Douglas gathered to extend a legacy. And they are deeply personal ones, as detailed in "Light of the Burning Sun," about the suicide of Hiatt's eldest brother, and the resulting dissolution of his family.
"My father screamed, 'No,' and beat on the wall/ Shook the foundations of the house, shook the life out of us all," he sings, in the most straightforward and sober vocal of his career.
"It's just the story," Hiatt said. "With that, the family just blew a gasket. It's a part of who I am, and part of what I've been working through, all these years. Again, it's just the story. Like Guy Clark said, 'You can't make this shit up.'"
Leftover feelings that will remain unresolved, no matter how often explored. Explicated in a place of history, a place of comfort. A sacred place, if you believe the documentation of human expression to be a holy thing.
Here, then, is a meeting of bruised and triumphant American giants. Here are Hiatt and Douglas, creating the meant-to-be: Love songs and road songs, sly songs and hurt songs.
Their songs, and now our songs.
Leftover feelings that edify and sustain.

THE Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) has said the indicator on the current situation remained negative for the fourth quarter of last year despite the business confidence index (BCI) that measures perception improving during that period.
The BCI for the fourth quarter of 2017 that was released by CZI on Wednesday was 5,8 for quarter-on-quarter and 22,9 for year-on-year, indicating improved confidence and optimism of business leaders regarding the economy.
"This is the first positive result we have found since the inception of the Index. For your recollection, the Business Confidence for the 3rd quarter of 2017 was -29,6 for quarter-on-quarter and -9,9 for year-on-year," CZI said.
"The indicator on current situation (that is, the Situation Diffusion Index) remains negative for both quarter on quarter and year on year comparison, indicating that respondents feel that the current situation is worse off compared to the previous quarter and also compared to same quarter of 2016.
It said the SDI remained negative for both quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year comparison, indicating that respondents feel that the current situation is worse off, compared to the previous quarter and also compared to the same quarter of 2016.
While investment, production, employment and order books have increased, signalling increased activity in the manufacturing sector to maintain confidence in the market, CZI called for the implementation of the stated policies and strategies immediately.
"Further delay will result in reduced confidence in the coming period. The situation on raw material supply and speed of supplier deliveries is deteriorating. This is largely due to foreign currency shortages and CZI has in different submissions proposed an importer financed export incentive scheme to ease the foreign currency shortages," CZI said.
This comes as at least five institutions have since December made much lower projections of this year's economic growth of 4,5% envisioned by government based on what is actually happening on the ground.
In an interview with NewsDay, CZI president Sifelani Jabangwe agreed that government's projections were too optimistic but that the BCI should be a positive indicator of an improved economy.
"You see, when you make decisions not all the information that you process is perfect, in otherwise, you are not going to add this plus that one than you know certainly the economy is going to get better. As an individual, I will sit and project the sector I serve," he said.

Kaine Bill to Combat Alzheimer's Disease Will Become Law
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA), a member of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, praised the House of Representatives' passage of legislation he introduced with Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) called the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act. This bill will build out the systems necessary to create a public health infrastructure to combat Alzheimer's disease and promote brain health. The legislation cleared the Senate unanimously on December 12th and will now head to President Trump's desk for his signature.
"My family, like nearly 150,000 Virginia families, knows what it's like to have a loved one with Alzheimer's. As I've shared my story, it seems as though every colleague I have in the Senate and everybody I talk to out in the community has an Alzheimer's story that's very close to them," Kaine said. "The number of people who have Alzheimer's in this country is already huge, and it's frightening to look at what the projections are in the next ten or twenty years. I'm proud that this bipartisan bill will help strengthen the public health response to Alzheimer's so we can provide much-needed relief to those affected by this devastating disease now and in the years to come."
More than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. In 2018, the United States will spend $277 billion, including $186 billion in costs to Medicare and Medicaid, to care for those with Alzheimer's. The number of Americans with Alzheimer's is expected to nearly triple to almost 14 million by 2050, costing the nation as much as $1.1 trillion.
This legislation would apply a public health approach to Alzheimer's disease by establishing a modern infrastructure for the prevention, treatment, and care of Alzheimer's and related dementias. Coordinated primarily by the Centers of Disease and Prevention (CDC), it would establish:
Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias Public Health Centers of Excellence dedicated to promoting effective Alzheimer's disease and caregiving interventions as well as educating public health officials, health care professionals, and the public on the most current information and research related to Alzheimer's disease, including cognitive decline, brain health, and health disparities.
Cooperative Agreements awarded to State, Local, and Tribal Health Departments to develop and carry out evidence-based Alzheimer's interventions, including supporting early detection and diagnosis, reducing the risk of potentially avoidable hospitalizations, improving caregiver support and care planning, among others.
Improved Data Analysis and Timely Reporting that would help ensure that data on Alzheimer's, such as cognitive decline, caregiving, and health disparities are analyzed and disseminated to the public in a timely manner.
In addition to Kaine and Collins, the bill is also sponsored by Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and cosponsored by a total of 58 Senators. The legislation is supported by 183 organizations and individuals, including the Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's Impact Movement, and Maria Shriver, founder of The Women's Alzheimer's Movement.
Representatives Brett Guthrie (R-KY) and Paul Tonko (D-NY) introduced a companion bill in the House of Representatives, which is cosponsored by 251 members.
