Deputy Shipping Minister: Cyprus – Greece ferry connection to be approved by the end of March
Cyprus Deputy Shipping Minister, Natasa Pilides, said on Wednesday that she expected a ferry connection between Cyprus and Greece to be approved by the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission by the end of March. She added that soon after the EU approval the Ministry would be ready to proceed with an open tender.
Speaking during a press conference where the annual report for 2019 of the Deputy Ministry of Shipping was presented, Pilides said that she had contacts with EU officials two weeks ago, who as she said, "understand, that the issue of the Cyprus-Greece ferry connection is a high priority for us".
In addition, Pilides said that there's interest for the ferry connection from several companies from Cyprus, Greece, Germany and Spain.
Concerning the impact on shipping industry from the spread of the coronavirus, the Deputy Minister said that there will certainly be impacts on international trade and consequently on shipping. Regarding Cyprus`s actions on the issue, Pilides said that the country has issued a circular advising companies on the safe approach of ports in high risk areas, to safeguard the health of seafarers, crews and passengers.
Asked on the role of her Ministry on immigration, she referred on the operation of a 24-hour monitoring center and said that there are inspectors from the Deputy Ministry who carry out the monitoring locally, while there's also monitoring on international level through collaborations and international systems.
Cyprus shipping registry
On the development of Cyprus' shipping registry, Pilides stressed that the efforts aim to ensure competitiveness, upgrade services, help the transition to the digital age, promote Blue Growth as well as improving safety levels and protecting the environment.
Regarding the attraction of companies, the Deputy Minister of Shipping said that about 120 companies are under Cyprus tax system and noted that the companies that own ships show a "steady and significant increase" with over 120 shipowners operating in Cyprus, while around 50 companies are shipmanagers, thus Cyprus ranks first in the EU in terms of this activity.
She also pointed out that Cyprus has the ability to attract companies from many parts of the world and not just the country's traditional markets.
The Deputy Minister underlined the importance of the fact that the companies located in Cyprus are truly established, increasing their know-how and staff and underlined that Cyprus should increase training in maritime jobs.
She also referred to measures to improve the competitiveness of the Cyprus shipping registry by revising its pricing policy and simplifying ship registration procedures.
At the same time, she said that strengthening co-operation with other states is a key priority of the Deputy Ministry, aiming to strengthen Cyprus`s role in the European and international decision-making process.
The Deputy Minister also underlined the re-election of Cyprus to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Council for the years 2020-2021, with 140 votes.

Tashi Dorji grew up in Bhutan, on the eastern side of the Himalayas. He has been residing in Asheville since 2000 and soaking up a vast array of music. Along the way, Dorji developed a playing style with a direct line to intuitive artistry yet unbound by tradition. His recordings feature improvisations that spasmodically grow along tangential, surprising paths. All references break loose during a composition, as Dorji keys into his own inner world.
His compositions drag the listener into a labyrinth of warbling tones, where each sound seems to jump out and replace the eerie silence that would otherwise occupy the atmosphere. The textures remain sustained in the reverberation as the vibration of the strings dwindle and ascend. The experience is one equally disorienting and reflective, in which Dorji's musicianship brings haunting beauty and mindfulness to the listener. After a handful of releases on various labels since 2009, Dorji presented his debut LP on Hermit Hut, the label created by Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance) in 2014. Since then, Tashi has released music in various formats on labels like Bathetic Records, Cabin Floor Esoterica, Blue Tapes, Marmara Records, Feeding Tubes,VDSQ & MIE.

What's your favorite animal? Ok and mine is Stashimal! Aka the best hiding spot ever!
FYI... if you put a glow stick in the jar and then close it, it becomes a really cool night light!
Take the head off carefully and remove some stuffing.
Get the jar in there with a layer of stuffing around it so the stuffed animal keeps its shape!
Slowly hot glue the edge of the fabric just under the threads of your jar, (push the stuffing down just a bit to make the fabric easier to glue).
Hold the jar until glue dries down.
You can do this with the lid attached to the toy body or not. I prefer it to be on the jar so that teddy bears head is facing the correct way.
Glue the head onto the lid with the glue being just above the ridge of the lid to completely sink it into the head, and attach the head in the same fashion you did the body. After the head is glued on, make sure the glue held snugly and tight (you will be twisting this part on and off).
After all the glue dries you will have your very own Stashimal. now your ready to hide whatever it is you desire!
0:22 Off with his head!
3:14 These boots are made for walking!

Ofcom's proposals to deal with the cost of calling businesses & organisations in the UK for telephone numbers such as 09, 08, 03 and 118 were published today by Ofcom.
Ofcom is now proposing to simplify and standardise how a wide range of non-geographic telephone numbers are priced, this will help to promote competition and transparency in delivering services through these numbers such as 118 directory enquiry. The new proposals will make calls to 0800 numbers free from mobiles; it currently costs up to 40p a minute to call an 0800 telephone number from a mobile phone.
Consumers dial non-geographic for many reason's such as contacting businesses, organisations, government agencies or even voting on TV shows. The prices vary depending on many factors including whether calls are being made on a mobile phone or a landline. New research has revealed that consumers are confused and uncertain about the costs of calling these telephone numbers resulting in two new proposals to improve the consumers experience when calling these numbers.
Ofcom's proposes to rationalise the non-geographic number ranges, this will make pricing clearer and more transparent to consumers.
090/ 091/ 098 - premium rate, higher cost.
Ofcom's secound proposal is to change the pricing structure of non-geographic calls by requiring two elements of a call - the phone company's charge and the charge made by the organisation or business that is being called - both to be transparently presented seperately to the consumer.
Consumers would be able to use this information in comparison when choosing between different phone offers and call bundles. This move should create transparent prices and will encourage competition and pressure on the providers to keep prices down for the consumer.

Pavel Tabakov
Pavel Tabakov believes that it is "necessary and important to talk" about the problems of the LGBT community. "It's very bad that nothing was done after the movie" Welcome to Chechnya, "the actor said.
In an interview with the Snob project, Tabakov said that his mother, actress Marina Zudina, recently starred in the TV series The Good Wife, an adaptation of the Western format. "So in Russia, the creators replaced the hero – the representative of the LGBTQ with an alcoholic. Because of this, the integrity of the work collapses. And it turns out that sexual orientation has again been compared to a disease. So it is everywhere: all gay heroes in our country are either caricatures, or they are not at all … "- said 25-year-old Tabakov.
"… I don't know how the guys survive in the provinces," reasoned Tabakov, calling the situation with the facts made public in the film "Welcome to Chechnya" "shitty." "Especially when there is such an aggressive propaganda of the idea of a ring of enemies. again we are erecting the iron curtain, we do not accept anything because of the hill. No tolerance, God forbid. Only Christianity and traditional marriage. But until the agenda changes and Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin does not order gays to love, this will not change … "
Tabakov called for "instilling acceptance, openness … through education." "But instead of lessons of tolerance we have lessons of patriotism …" – the actor summed up.
The day before, Pavel Tabakov was harassed on one of the TV channels, which is financed through the pro-Kremlin business. He, like many other Russians expressing a point of view different from the one approved in the Kremlin, was threatened with losing his job. So, on the air of the show "Meeting Place" Andrei Norkin, known for his homophobic rhetoric, recalled that Pavel Tabakov serves in the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater, a state theater. Norkin wonders why live in a country that you do not love, and hints to Tabakov that maybe it's time to leave Russia?

The film by David France "Welcome to Chechnya".
As the violence around Chechnya's anti-LGBTQ+ purge continues, brave activists and organizations are fighting daily to create a safer world for queer Chechens. Harlem Khadzhiev, a co-founder of LGBT refugee support organization LGBT World Beside, writes about that fight here.
From 2012 to 2015, I was detained and blackmailed in Chechnya because I am gay. By the time I reached the border, other gays and lesbians from Chechnya were asking me for help. Also, journalists contacted me and asked me to help them get in touch with LGBT people from Chechnya. It was important for journalists to hear their stories firsthand and tell them to the general public. LGBT people from Chechnya are afraid to get in touch with journalists themselves. I have always helped journalists find contacts. Persuading my acquaintances from Chechnya to contact journalists was hard work. Many had to negotiate for a long time. I promised them that it would be safe for them. They were often intimidated and did not believe that security was possible beyond the borders of Chechnya.
I believe that the entire world should know what is happening to LGBT people in Chechnya. If we remain silent and are too afraid to discuss the terrible tortures and murders in Chechnya they may never end. The Chechen and Russian regimes successfully rally like-minded people. Many LGBT people fled Chechnya and Russia to save their lives and have become activists. We are in many different countries around the world. We help those who fled to Europe as much as possible.
Everything was new to me, and I did not know what to do. I did not know any English and Dutch. I always have to ask my friends to help me with the translation during meetings with representatives of parliament or other activists who are in Europe from other organizations. I cannot hire a translator for my team because we do not have enough money. Sometimes we have to travel by public transport without a ticket to refugee camps to meet with new arrivals. Communicating with refugees is very important so that they are not distressed and feel abandoned. Our activists often invite refugees into their homes, pay for their travel and food.
In 2018, we created our own LGBT refugee support organization and named it LGBT World Beside. It was very difficult. As former refugees, we know how to help each other. We have not forgotten about the horrors we endured in Chechnya. We were humiliated, insulted, blackmailed. We were considered to be less than human and treated like an animal. We were confined to basements and called vile names. We did not know how to express our feelings and be genuinely ourselves. Truly, we have not recovered. In Chechen society, there is no place for LGBT people. Fleeing our country gave us profound sorrow. We did not want to move, but we wanted to survive. Moving was the only way. It was very painful and scary to leave our families and start our lives all over again.
Today, I am still afraid that I am being watched. In some European countries with a large Chechen diaspora, our refugees have to remain very quiet. I still cannot fully enjoy the present and forget the horrors of my past life. We are glad to have refugees apply to LGBT World Beside for assistance and to help them. We have big plans for the future. We solve our problems together. We deserve a place in this world like everyone else. My friends are helping us now and we are as one family. However, we do need more support.

Power returns to Meyer Street in Midland after utility pole fire
Mitchell Kukulka, Mitchell.Kukulka@mdn.net
Updated 8:13 am EDT, Thursday, March 28, 2019
Midland firefighters respond to the scene of a utility pole on fire at the corner of Wheeler and Meyers Streets on Tuesday evening, March 26, 2019 in Midland. (Katy Kildee/kkildee@mdn.net)
Power has returned to residents in the 4800 and 4900 blocks of Meyer Street after a Tuesday night fire on a utility pole knocked out electricity in the area for more than seven hours.
A utility pole at the corner of Meyer Street and Wheeler Street caught fire due to a transformer malfunction Tuesday night, causing surrounding residences to lose power and temporarily closing Wheeler between Russell Street and Tucker Street.
Terry DeDoes, a spokesperson for Consumers Energy, said about 23 customers reported an interruption in service starting Tuesday night. The outage began at about 10:14 p.m., and power was restored by 6 a.m. on Wednesday morning.
Firefighters responded to the fire shortly before 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday, said Lt. Jim Heading of the Midland Fire Department. The closure of that area of Wheeler Street was announced through the Nixle Alert system at 10:28 p.m. Reopening of the roadway was announced at 1:19 a.m. Wednesday.
The fire was quickly contained by firefighters and posed no threat of spreading to surrounding residences, Heading said. Representatives for Consumers Energy have determined the cause of the fire to be equipment failure affecting a transformer on the utility pole, DeDoes said.
Heading said fires like this typically happen about a dozen times per year.

Q: Run CMD in VB.Net using files as StandardInput and StandardOutput I'm trying to run a command in VB.Net such as:
my_program.exe < input_commands.txt > console_outputs.txt

I tried using the RedirectStandardInput :
myProcessStartInfo.FileName = programPath
myProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = True
myprocess.StartInfo = myProcessStartInfo
myprocess.Start()

And a StreamWriter to input my text file :
Dim myStreamWriter As StreamWriter = myprocess.StandardInput
For Each Line As String In System.IO.File.ReadLines(processInputFile)
    myStreamWriter.WriteLine(Line)
Next
myStreamWriter.Close()

And a similar approach to get the ouputs to a file text :
startInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
Dim output As String = Process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()

But results are quite limited...
Could you please guide me toward a proper solution?

A: What I would do is, first read all the lines from the input_commands.txt file into mem:
Private Sub ReadInputFile(programPath as String, processInputFile as String, processOuputFile as String)

        ' Open the file to read from.
        Dim readText() As String = File.ReadAllLines(processInputFile)

        For Each s As String In readText

            ' Run the command through the cmd process
            OutPutResults(programPath, s, processOuputFile)

        Next

End Sub

and output (append) the results to console_output.txt:
Private Sub OutPutResults(programPath as String, strArgument as String, processOuputFile as String)

            Dim p As New Process()

            ' Set it to run hidden from user
            With p.StartInfo
                .RedirectStandardOutput = True
                .RedirectStandardError = True
                .FileName = programPath
                .Arguments = strArgument
                .UseShellExecute = False
                .CreateNoWindow = True
            End With

            p.Start()

            ' Save all output to the variable "strOutput"
            Dim strOutput As String = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()

            ' Wait for programPath .exe to finish before we handle it's output:
            ' (Sync method, meaning the thread won't continue until this one is finished. Use .exited if wanting to do Async)
            ' Also note that you can add a timeout in milliseconds to this if wanted. i.e. .WaitForExit(1000)
            p.WaitForExit()

            ' Save the output to console_output.txt
            File.AppendAllText(processOuputFile, strOutput)

End Sub

Note the above code is completely untested; I just whipped it up to give you the idea.

A: I wrote the following function that does the trick :
 Sub runProgrammCommandsInputFileResultsOutputFile(ByVal myProcessStartInfo As ProcessStartInfo, ByVal myProcess As Process, ByVal programPath As String, ByVal commandsInputFile As String, ByVal resultsOutputFile As String)
        myProcessStartInfo.FileName = programPath
        myProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = True
        myProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
        myProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardError = True
        myProcessStartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
        myProcessStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
        myProcess.StartInfo = myProcessStartInfo

        myProcess.Start()

        ' Read commands from text file
        Dim readCommandsInputFile() As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(commandsInputFile)

        ' Open StreamWriter to StandardInput
        Dim myStreamWriter As StreamWriter = myProcess.StandardInput

        ' Write read commands to Streamwriter openned to StandardInput
        For Each s As String In readCommandsInputFile
            myStreamWriter.WriteLine(s)
        Next

        myStreamWriter.Close()

        'Read StandardOutput
        Dim resultsOutputStrings As String = myProcess.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()

        ' Write StandardOutput read to text file
        System.IO.File.AppendAllText(resultsOutputFile, resultsOutputStrings)
    End Sub

Chattanooga Airport Argument Lands at Legislature
A dispute between a Texas-based company providing aviation services at Chattanooga's airport and the local airport authority board has taken flight and landed in the middle of the Tennessee Legislature, reports the Chattanooga TFP.
TAC Air, a company providing fuel and hangar space for private airplanes at the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport, is backing a bill that jumps into the dispute.
It would block future use of grants from the state's Transportation Equity Fund to "compete" against "existing, privately owned" fixed-base operators such as TAC Air.
Three House members and a senator from outside Hamilton County are sponsoring the bill, which is scheduled to come up in the House Transportation Subcommittee and Senate Transportation Committee later this week.
(Note: The legislation is SB912, sponsored by Sen. Frank Niceley, R-Strawberry Plains, and Rep. Judd Matheny, R-Tullahoma. Reps. Vance Dennis and Terri Lynn Weaver have signed on as co-sponsors with Mathney.))
The company has been fighting with the airport since officials in 2010 unveiled plans to spend $10 million on new facilities for corporate tenants and personal aircraft with the operation run by another company. Airport officials said the facilities, on which some $5 million in grants have been expended, were needed because of complaints about TAC Air.
But TAC Air executives have accused Lovell Field officials of using taxpayer money to effectively ground its existing business.
Pam McAllister, TAC Air's Chattanooga general manager, said Monday the company is being forced to compete against its own "landlord," the quasi-governmental airport authority, at taxpayer expense.
"How can we compete fairly when we don't have access to the funds they do?" she said.

For an estimated 15% to 18% of women and 6% of men with migraine, they endure not just intense pain in their head but also nausea; an inability to tolerate light, noise, or odors; confusion; overwhelming fatigue, and more—to the point that they are unable to keep working or be present with family and friends. This inability to function separates migraines from headaches.
The good news is that knowledge about them and treatments for them have increased exponentially to the point that most migraine sufferers are able to enjoy meaningful relief that allows them to go about their lives in a fairly normal way.
Doctors may prescribe medications, behavioral treatments and lifestyle changes, and even electrical stimulation devices. Learning to distinguish warning signs of an impending migraine from what have traditionally been called "triggers" can greatly improve someone's ability to manage these episodes.
"The understanding of migraine biology and the treatments available have exploded in the last decade; with proper education, consistent use of the tools available can improve the lives of most migraine patients," says Christopher Gottschalk, MD, a Yale Medicine neurologist and director of Yale Medicine's Headache and Facial Pain Center.
"Unfortunately, migraine remains underdiagnosed, undertreated, and underestimated—according to reports, migraine causes more disability than all other neurological conditions combined. But learning to identify the early signs of a migraine attack and intervene quickly and effectively can provide patients with a level of control they never thought was possible," he says.
Migraine is a neurologic disorder that causes moderate-to-severe headaches along with other symptoms that make it difficult for people to function normally. People experience migraine differently. Many have throbbing headaches while others have steady headache pain. Although migraine pain can occur on both sides of the head, it's common for the pain to be isolated on one side or the other across multiple attacks.
It's important to know that migraine attacks encompass more than just the timeframe when someone has a headache; for most people, the attacks involve several—usually three—phases with distinct features.
Prodrome phase. This can occur hours or days before a migraine headache. During this phase, many people feel tired or start yawning unexpectedly, experience low mood or irritability, or have trouble concentrating. They may also have neck pain; sensitivity to smells, light, or noises; nausea; or loss of appetite. Some even crave unusual foods.
Aura phase. During the aura phase, some people report seeing zigzag lines or bright splotches across their field of vision, or experience other types of visual disturbance. They may also feel dizzy, experience vertigo, have trouble speaking, or notice that their extremities are numb or tingling. This phase may last for up to an hour and is followed by a headache.
Headache phase. Although many people believe that migraine is synonymous with headache, the headache phase is only one part of migraine. The headache itself may last anywhere from 4 to 72 hours, and it may be accompanied by nausea or sensitivity to light, sound, or smells, as well as difficulty concentrating.
Postdrome phase. Once a migraine headache subsides, it's common for people to feel fatigued or "washed out" or "hungover," in a low mood, and have trouble concentrating for several hours, as they recover.
Only about 25% of people with migraine experience an aura. Some people experience aura during a headache, rather than before headache onset. Some migraine patients will have an aura without a headache following it at least some of the time.
Although the cause of migraine isn't fully understood, it's thought that genes may play a role; about 42% of people with migraine have a family history of the condition.
Experts believe that migraine pain is linked to abnormal activation or "sensitization" of the trigeminal nerve, which is responsible for the unpleasant sensations that people feel in their head and neck.
Why the trigeminal nerve becomes sensitized repeatedly in migraine patients is unknown. It is clear that the "aura" of migraine is very similar to a focal seizure that slowly progresses across the brain, and this abnormal activity can lead to trigeminal sensitization. What happens in people who don't experience an aura is less clear.
Researchers believe that monthly hormonal changes are the main reason women are more likely to have migraines than men. However, before puberty, more boys have migraine than girls. Some women reliably experience migraine at the start of a menstrual period, while others report that ovulation can predict attacks. Many find that headaches worsen at the start of menopause and then improve after.
The symptoms of migraine set it apart from a "regular" or tension-type headache. People with migraine often have moderate-to-severe head pain and throbbing, accompanied by any or all of the following:
Sensitivity to light, noise, movement of physical activity, odors, and/or touch
Dizziness or light-headedness
Scalp pain or tenderness
Numbness or tingling in the hands, face or other body parts
Speech disturbances
Inability to perform normal activities
Anyone may experience migraine, including children, but it's more common among women, younger adults, and people with a family history of migraine.
People may be at increased risk of migraine if they have other health conditions, such as:
Obesity, especially when associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
Pain disorders (such as fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, or interstitial cystitis)
When you visit the doctor with chronic headaches or suspected migraine, he or she will want to know as much as possible about your pain and other symptoms to make an accurate diagnosis.
Your doctor will ask about personal and family medical history, getting details about how frequently you experience headaches and whether they're accompanied by sensitivity to light, sound and/or movement or other common migraine symptoms. Additionally, your doctor will ask about the presence or absence of an aura.
This is usually followed by a neurological exam to check for abnormalities in mental status, speech, gait, muscle strength and tone, reflexes, and to look for signs of increased pressure in the back of the eye, any of which may indicate neurological problems other than migraine.
Because migraine can't be diagnosed with a specific test, doctors conclude that someone has migraine when they've had at least five headaches with migraine-like symptoms and when it's determined that they don't have another condition that may cause similar symptoms.
To rule out other conditions, you may undergo other tests such as:
CT scan, to check for brain hemorrhages
MRI, to look for brain lesions, vascular abnormalities, or signs of abnormal pressure
Blood tests that may identify another condition that can cause severe headaches
A spinal tap, to check the cerebrospinal fluid for abnormalities
There are a variety of treatments that may help to reduce the burden of migraine. Some are designed to help eliminate the symptoms of a migraine attack quickly when it occurs; other treatments work to reduce the number of attacks, their severity, or duration. Options include:
Over-the-counter pain medication, including acetaminophen plus caffeine, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which may be effective when migraine pain is in the mild-to-moderate range
Triptans, prescription medications, introduced in the 1990s, that may relieve moderate-to-severe migraine symptoms, including headache and nausea
Nurtec, Ubrelvy, and Reyvow, which are newer agents that target different receptors, do not involve constriction of blood vessels, and have lower rates of side effects than other medications
Nonselective receptor agonists, used primarily by headache medicine specialists. These include ergotamine and dihydroergotamine, and are useful for treating moderate-to-severe migraine attacks when other agents don't work or cause side effects.
Antiemetics, which not only reduce nausea, but also improve the absorption of other medications and directly treat migraine itself; they are often used in combination with other agents.
Neurostimulation devices. Devices that use small electrical impulses or magnetic pulses to stimulate the trigeminal nerve or other parts of the brain may be used to prevent migraines from occurring or to alleviate pain after a migraine has started.
The following treatments may be offered to reduce the number and severity of future migraine episodes among people who have more than one attack per week (sometimes less), including:
Tricyclic antidepressants
Certain anticonvulsant drugs
Botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox injections)
Calcitonin-gene related peptide (CGRP) antagonists, a new class of agents that block the effects of a molecule known as calcitonin-gene-related peptide. Studies suggest that CGRP plays an important role in migraines and that the levels of this molecule may increase during migraine attacks and in people who have chronic migraines.
For patients with very frequent migraine, called "chronic migraine" (meaning more than half of the days in a month), adopting lifestyle changes can help. Possible lifestyle changes include:
Limiting alcohol and/or caffeine
Eating meals on a schedule, rather than skipping meals
Following a healthy diet and getting regular physical activity
Getting enough (and consistent) sleep
Reducing stress by learning biofeedback and other stress coping skills
Practicing yoga or meditation
There is no cure for migraine, but most people who receive treatment should experience relief from symptoms. It's helpful to target acute attacks and take preventive measures to reduce migraine frequency.
"The Yale Headache and Facial Pain program offers a large number of highly trained and experienced clinicians whose primary aim is to provide compassionate, individualized care. Our approach is to empower patients with the skills, tools, and knowledge they need to gain control of a potentially disabling condition," says Dr. Gottschalk. "We also have a wide range of advanced diagnostic techniques available to identify less common conditions like intracranial hypertension ["pseudotumor"] or CSF leaks, and specialize in the treatment of post-traumatic headaches, trigeminal neuralgia, and related disorders."

China's central bank on Thursday injected funds of 120 billion yuan ($17.5 billion) through open market operations to ease liquidity pressure. The People's Bank of China (PBOC) conducted 100 billion yuan of seven-day reverse repos at an interest rate of 2.55 percent and 20 billion yuan of 14-day reverse repos at an interest rate of 2.7 percent. The move was aimed at offsetting the impact of tax payments and government bond issuances and keeping liquidity in the banking system at a reasonable and ample level, the PBOC said on its website.
