The manager appointed in the agreement has detailed responsibilities, and will be compensated by receipt of a percentage of the "gross income" of the properties.
Owner is the owner of commercial real property located throughout the continental United States (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Premises"). Manager has the experience and staff necessary and suitable for the management and operation of real estate properties in the United States and desires to undertake the management and operation of the real estate properties of Owner. Manager is an independent contractor and Owner shall have no voice in the selection or discharge of Manager's servants, representatives, or sub-contractors, or in their number or in the compensation to be received by them or in the period of hours of their employment, and no control over the specific manner in which the work shall be done, but Manager shall be responsible for the quality of work done and of the materials furnished, and warrants that they shall conform to the terms of this Agreement.
Owner does hereby designate Manager the exclusive manager of all of Owner's real estate interests for the term of one (1) year commencing on the effective date hereof. This designation shall be automatically renewed annually on each anniversary of the effective date hereof for an additional one (1) year period, subject to the right of either party to cancel this Agreement at any time by giving the other party not less than thirty (30) days written notice of its intention to so terminate.
Manager shall serve as an independent contractor, as Owner's sole and exclusive agent for the management of the Premises. Both parties acknowledge that certain individual properties owned by Owner are presently operated pursuant to "net leases" and other similar arrangements with third parties. These individual properties will not be covered by this Agreement until any such net leases are terminated, at which time operation of these properties shall be turned over to Manager pursuant to this Agreement. Owner and Manager agree, upon the request of either party at any time during the term of this Agreement, to acknowledge a schedule of properties covered hereby, including the legal description thereof if desired.
A. Use its best efforts to lease and keep leased to desirable tenants all space held for lease. Manager shall lease the Premises with each lease identifying Owner (or the trade name of the Premises) as the title holder of the Premises and owner of the lease.
Without the prior approval of Owner, no lease, including renewal options, shall exceed (i) one year for apartment leases, (ii) ten years for office or warehouse leases or (iii) twenty years for shopping center leases. In the event that a lease contract contemplated to be entered into by Manager in the name of the Owner is not within the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence, such lease contract shall be first subject to the written approval of Owner, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Manager shall advise Owner personally or by certified mail of any such proposed lease or amendment thereto. If Owner fails to advise Manager within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, it shall be presumed that Owner granted Owner's written approval thereto and, accordingly, Manager shall be authorized to execute such lease contract in the name of Owner without being in violation of Manager's duties hereunder. All leases of the Premises shall remain the property of Owner and, regardless of their terms, copies shall be promptly provided to Owner. Manager shall have the right, without prior consent, at Owner's expense, to repair, alter, modify and improve (as distinguished from expansion) the existing structures, in connection with any such lease; prior approval, however, of Owner to be secured by Manager on all such matters involving costs in excess of ____________ Dollars ($_________) for any one item.
Manager may collect from lessees, security deposits as deposits for the performance under the leases, the amount of such security deposits to be for such sum as is customary in the locality of said real estate. Failure by Manager to obtain any security deposit shall not constitute any nature of default by Manager hereunder. The security deposits, as collected, shall be paid over each month to Owner following the month of collection by Manager.
The term "Agreement Year" as used herein shall mean the calendar year ending December 31st each year. The first Agreement Year shall be the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the next December 31st, and the last Agreement Year shall be the period beginning January 1st of the last year of the term of this Agreement and ending with the last day of the term of this Agreement.
Manager shall maintain, in a manner and form consistent with generally accepted methods of accounting, at its office, during each Agreement Year and retain such for a period of three (3) consecutive years thereafter, complete and accurate general books of account, which will reflect all receipts derived from the operation of the Premises by Manager during such Agreement Year, including but not limited to, original invoices, sales and other records pertaining to the business of operating the Premises and other pertinent papers and documents which will enable Owner to determine the gross receipts derived by Manager from the Premises. All of the aforementioned records shall be open to inspection and audit by Owner or its agents at all reasonable times during ordinary business hours. On termination of this Agreement, all records shall be delivered to Owner at the Premises. Owner and Manager recognize that Owner, itself, may have records pertaining to the Premises as to which Manager does not have actual knowledge; and nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted to impose any duty on Manager with respect to such records or any other records of a type which would not be kept by a reasonably prudent business manager.
Manager shall establish a bank account into which receipts relating to the Premises of the Owner transmitted to Manager or collected by Manager shall be deposited. From the funds in such bank account, Manager shall pay the following types of expenses associated with operation of the Premises (it being understood that nothing herein shall be interpreted to impose on Manager liability for the payment of any such expenses from Manager's own funds): on-site salary expenses of every kind and nature, utility charges, custodial service, management fees hereunder to Manager and all other recurring-type charges relating to the operation of the Premises (all of the aforesaid being herein sometimes referred to as "Premises Operating Expenses"). Manager shall submit to Owner on or before the tenth (10th) day of each month during the term hereof (including the tenth (10th) day of the month following the end of the term) at the place then fixed for the payments hereunder, a check in a sum equal to all funds in the bank account for the Premises except a nominal sum to pay obligations due prior to receipt of additional rentals, and a written statement, certified by Manager to be true and correct to the best of his knowledge and belief, showing in reasonably accurate detail, the amount of aforesaid receipts and the amount of Premises Operating Expenses disbursed from such bank account and the resulting difference for the preceding month accompanied by copies of invoices or statements paid, if applicable. Manager shall submit to the Owner on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the end of each Agreement Year, at the place then fixed for payments, a complete statement of the aforesaid annual figures for the preceding Agreement Year in reasonable detail certified by Manager. Relative to the authority of Manager to pay from the bank account Premises Operating Expenses (as hereinabove referred to), such authority of Manager shall be limited as stated in subparagraph 4(C) hereof.

New Revenue Procedure Establishes 403(b) Pre-Approved Plan Program (Posted on April 29, 2013 by Carol V. Calhoun)
Print or E-Mail
The IRS will start accepting applications for opinion and advisory letters for prototype and volume submitter 403(b) plans (tax-sheltered annuities and custodial accounts for certain tax-exempt and governmental employers) on June 28, 2013. Rev. Proc. 2013-22, 2013-18 I.R.B. 985 (April 29, 2013) explains the procedures for obtaining such letters. The IRS has also provided sample plan language for 403(b) plans, which may be useful not only to prototype and volume submitter plans, but to all types of 403(b) plans.
Notice 2009-3, 2009-2 I.R.B. 250, had stated that "the Service and Treasury have concluded that compliance with the 2007 regulations would be facilitated by the establishment of both pre-approved and individually designed plan programs[.]" However, Rev. Proc. 2013-22 provided only for pre-approved plans. It is unclear at this time whether private letter rulings will continue to be available with respect to individually designed plans.
The Comparison of 457(b) Plans, 401(k) Plans, 403(b) Plans, and Deemed IRAs has been updated to reflect this development.
Employers Need to Adopt Pre-Approved 403(b) Plans by March 31, 2020
Deadline to Submit Opinion and Advisory Letter Applications for Defined Benefit Mass Submitter Plans Extended
Expanded Correction Program for 403(b) Plans

Black Rock Mysteries
While reading through Clarie's diary Charlie finds that Claire has been dreaming about the 'Black Rock'. When Sayid encountered the French woman she also mentioned the 'Black Rock'. The way that they are all talking about it makes it sound like it is actually a rock, or at least some sort of geographical landmark, however as we find out later its not a rock at all its an old ship…and it shipwrecked a long way inland…

Flash Forward Season 1
It has to be Michael in the coffin
When Brian Porter (Susan's husband) visits Michael after Susan has died he gives him return tickets between Sydney and New York. This must mean that Michael and Walt would have needed a connecting flight between Los Angeles and New York, but thats not the important bit. The important bit is that this indicates that Michael lives in New York…or at least he did.
Remember the newspaper death notice that Jack reads in the season 3 finale, I'm pretty sure it mentions that the deceased was found in a New York loft in Los Angeles but was from New York. And according to some sources the article also says that the deceased left behind a teenage son. Walt is 10 on the island (in 2004), the flash forward takes place in 2007 making Walt 13 and therefore a teenager.
A couple of thing explain why no one was at the funeral, since it appears from the article that the deceased (if it is Michael) has changed there name, and as far as we know Michael doesn't seem to have a lot of family around. Some have also mentioned that the funeral parlor appeared to be a in an African-American neighbourhood, also points to Michael.
It also then makes sense that Jack is upset, its not because he was close to Michael (remember when asked 'friend or family' he responded 'neither') but because Michael was quite possibly one of his last remaining links back to the island. Since we know that Michael will be reappearing in season 4, it would make sense that Jack would believe that he knows how to get to the island…just as Jack is desperate to do. This also explains why it is someone that Kate wouldn't visit, theres a fairly good chance she hasn't forgiven him for murdering Ana-Lucia and Libby or something else that happens after he returns…

Debold Menorias Sinas (born May 8, 1965) is a Filipino retired police general who served as Chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP) from November 2020 to May 2021. During his tenure, he oversaw the COVID-19 community quarantines in the Philippines. However, he was also accused of violating the COVID-19 lockdown rules himself.

Sinas graduated from the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) in 1987. He served as the police chief of Central Visayas and Metro Manila before becoming chief of the PNP. After his retirement, he was appointed as an undersecretary to President Rodrigo Duterte. Since July 2022, he is serving as Cebu City's peace and order adviser.

Early life and education
Sinas was born on May 8, 1965, in Barangay Datu Silongan, in the city of Butuan, Agusan province, Philippines. He spent most of his teenage years in Mindanao due to his father's assignments as a military officer. At the encouragement of his father, he entered the Philippine Military Academy (PMA), and graduated from the institution in 1987 as part of the Hinirang class. (Each year since 1967, the PMA assigns the graduating batch a unique honorific as verbal representation of the collective aspirations of the class. In 1987, the class were called Hinirang - which means "chosen" or "appointed ones"). Sinas told SunStar Cebu in an interview that he joined the academy due to pressure from his father – he was warned that if he did not get in, he would not be accepted back home.

Career
Prior to serving as Central Visayas police chief, Sinas served in the Police Regional Office 12 (PRO-12) as Deputy Regional Director for Administration and in Camp Crame as secretary to the Directorial Staff under the Office of the Chief Directorial Staff and later, director of the PNP Crime Laboratory. He was promoted to Police Chief Superintendent in April 2017.

Central Visayas chief
Sinas was police chief of the Philippine National Police's Police Regional Office 7 (PRO-7), which had jurisdiction over Central Visayas, for one year and four months. He worked under the office from July 2018 to October 2019. During his term at this post, Negros Oriental, a province under his jurisdiction, was the subject of intense scrutiny due to the 2017–19 Negros Island killings which led to Sinas appearing at an August 2019 Senate hearing to explain the increased number of killings in the province. The Senate investigation determined that the police and military carried out most of the killings as part of its counter-insurgency operations against the communist New People's Army, along with armed vigilante groups that targeted suspected communists and leftists.

Metro Manila chief
Sinas was reassigned to Metro Manila in October 2019. His appointment as chief of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) was announced on October 10, 2019. and formally assumed the position on October 16, vowing to tackle illegal drugs, bribery, and gambling in Metro Manila. He succeeded Guillermo Eleazar, who was appointed as chief of the PNP Directorial Staff.

By November 2019, 143 police officers from Central Visayas were reassigned to Metro Manila police office. One of the transferred personnel was assigned as the office's intelligence officer, though Sinas did not enact other leadership changes at the time.

Sinas launched a biometrics system for the NCRPO on December 2, 2019 for accurate attendance monitoring of the police office's personnel.

Philippine National Police chief

On November 9, 2020, President Rodrigo Duterte announced that Sinas would be the next chief of Philippine National Police after the retirement of PNP Chief Camilo Cascolan. Sinas' tenure began the following day.

On 8 May 2021, Sinas celebrated his 56th birthday – the mandatory retirement age of police officers in the Philippines. Sinas' 6-month watch as top cop was marred with controversies. He was succeeded by Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar as  Philippine National Police chief.

Post-police career
On September 11, 2021, Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea announced that Sinas was appointed undersecretary of the Office of the President.

On July 4, 2022, Cebu City mayor Mike Rama appointed Sinas to the Cebu City Advisory Board. He is to specialize on peace and order concerns.

Family and personal life

Sinas' father was a military officer born in Butuan, in the Caraga region of Mindanao island. Sinas' father had died before he graduated from the Philippine Military Academy in 1987. He mentioned in an interview that he "pushed [himself] to really graduate [from the PMA] as a promise to [his] father". Sinas has two children. He also mentioned in the same interview that his mother and widowed sister were living with his children.

Voltes V
Sinas' favorite show growing up was the Japanese anime television series, Voltes V. The show's theme song, "Voltes V no Uta" ("The Song of Voltes V"), has become a trademark for Sinas. The Police Regional Office in Central Visayas (PRO-7 where Sinas worked during 2018 to 2019) would play the  theme song during ceremonies in the headquarters and even during police operations. When asked why the anime show was his favorite, Sinas said that "it embodied teamwork". During his stint as National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) Director (2019-2020), Sinas once again used the concept of Voltes V in terms of the different stakeholders—such as the police, the community, and government— "volting in" to achieve one goal.

On November 9, 2020, "NCRPO Fitness Team", a YouTube channel run by the National Capital Region Police office (NCRPO) where Sinas was stationed for almost a year in 2019–2020, uploaded a video featuring Sinas leading a four-minute workout routine to the Voltes V theme song.

Controversies and criticism

COVID-19 pandemic

Mañanita celebration
Sinas oversaw police response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Metro Manila, one of the hardest hit regions of the pandemic. However, his stint as Metro Manila chief was marred by a controversy over the holding of a mañanita — an early morning birthday serenade — for his birthday on May 8, 2020, at Camp Bagong Diwa. A mañanita is a tradition in the Philippine police force where personnel greet their senior officers during the early morning for their birthdays. The gathering was perceived negatively by the public, with the leadership of the Philippine National Police filing charges against Sinas and 18 other officers for violation of the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act, particularly on provisions concerning social distancing and mass gathering at the time. Although Sinas keeps his post due to the "emergency situation" concerning the pandemic, the police agency was concerned that his programs related to COVID-19 response might be disrupted. Sinas apologized for the event though he insisted that his office observed appropriate protocols. On May 20, President Rodrigo Duterte decided against dismissing Sinas or transferring him to another post, vouching for his character believing that he was not at fault for being "serenaded" during his birthday.

Bypassing of Oriental Mindoro health protocol
Debold Sinas tested positive for COVID-19. The PNP made the announcement on 11 March 2021 on the day of his visit to Oriental Mindoro to attend a ceremonial COVID-19 vaccination for the local police force. A statement by the Oriental Mindoro provincial government said that Sinas did not go through the proper health screening since he entered Calapan via helicopter instead of entering the city through its seaport where passengers are screened for the disease.

Harassment accusation
On July 18, 2020, Sinas and other armed NCRPO officials were accused of harassment by the Delos Santos family, with the incident being filmed by a CCTV camera and the footage going viral online. The NCRPO were allegedly trying to evict the Delos Santos family from the property to build a quarantine facility for COVID-19 patients. Sinas explained that the property is owned by the PNP and Executive Master Sergeant Arnel Delos Santos was only allowed to live there temporarily with an agreement to vacate the property after his retirement in November 2018.

I can't decide if I'm a monster or not. I'll let you decide.
Once upon a time……… I hit a kid in the face. But that's not the whole story, so I do ask that you defer your judgment until you read on.
So I was at this holiday party grand opening for a wine bar that somebody invited me to. It was huge and there were people everywhere. There were also a SURPRISING amount of children there. Like, a SHOCKING amount of loose, feral children considering we were at a wine bar.
And by this time, most of the parents were at the giggly hour of the wine bar opening, and they were feeling no pain. And that would have been fine, except for the small fact that their children were still running wild around the place.
And there was one child in particular. Oh yes, there is always that one child in particular. The one child in a sea of children who you immediately see as the alpha-child and the ringleader of the awfulness. I didn't know this child's name, but based solely on the look of him I guessed his name to be Walter VanUppity the Third.
So this child was running around the room screaming at the top of his lungs. LITERALLY screaming! Yelling nonsense, gibberish, and other assorted war cries as he ran laps around the room. And this just kept happening, and I kept looking for some sort of adult who was responsible for this child, but nobody showed their face or their parental authority over Damien.
So about twenty minutes later, this kid has already run into me twice and stepped on my toe once as he ran like a banshee through the room. Of course, that may have been my fault because I was standing absolutely still at the edge of the room, and so I was clearly in his way.
I watched in horror as this same child ran up to the table, picked up a piece of cheese, put that cheese into his mouth, cringed in disgust at the taste, and then SPIT IT BACK ONTO THE SERVING TRAY!
And then, energized by his pure evil disgustingness, he took off running more laps, circling back each time to the food table (where I was still standing frozen in horror and starvation) to touch and lick more food, and also to push adults out of his way. NOW : I believe most of you know me pretty well. I'm an okay person; not great, but also not uber-terrible either. But I also don't have a very high threshold for douche-baggery or other assorted dickhead shenanigans. And no, I'm not referring to the child when I say those things. I'm talking about his parents. They never surfaced to check on their child, to see what the screaming was about, or even to just make sure that he wasn't lighting trash fires in the street. (I mean, I know children are a handful, and you can't have eyes on them every single second, but this had been going on for half an hour! Get in the game, people!) So I decided to just have a quick life lesson session and correct the problem for the room.
The kid ran into me two more times as I debated with myself and told myself just to walk away. Or to go home where order and civility reign. Or to take a deep, cleansing breath and pray to Jesus. And then this kid stopped directly beside me, licked his fingers, touched a bunch of cupcakes, pushed me yet-freaking-again, shoved 4 cookies in to his mouth, laughed, and pushed me one more $%^&^%*$&% time.
So all I did, was I just popped my elbow out………. as he was leaning in.
Now, I'm not a scientist, but somehow in the ebb and flow of motion, matter, cause and effect my elbow (which was there first) made some medium-gentle contact with his face.
And then he stared up at me in surprise.
And I stared back at him.
And we both processed what just happened.
And he freaking went and sat down! And that was the end of the problem for the rest of the night.
Now, this is the end of the story and the part where you are now free to judge me. BUT, in my defense: I did nothing wrong. Elbows sometimes are just out in the wild, and I can't truly be blamed if occasionally they snag a feral, untamed, wild heathen child gently in the face. And I don't mean a child who is all jacked up on sugar, but their parents are nearby and they're doing their best to maintain order and keep their child safe. Parents like that are heroes and have my support, sympathy and understanding. This child, however, appeared to have been abandoned to be raised by wolves in this wine bar, and then some elbow related things transpired, and at the end of the night he sat down like an angel. And also, I barely tapped him, so calm down. And besides, everyone has those moments where you don't plan to do anything, but then your body just takes over and things happen without your brain's consent. Right? Everyone gets just one of those moments with a free pass and no judgment. Right? You get one! This was my one.
Except…………… I also did it a few months before this at Harry Potter World as well. In line for one of the rides. That kid had pushed me for a solid half hour and stepped on my toe until you could see the tread of his sneakers on my skin, and his dad didn't say a word. So somehow, my elbow just… popped out there into empty space……..just about the time that junior was charging me again. And we didn't have any further problems the rest of the wait.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) - As much as the NFL would rather if everyone discussed all of the yards and TDs produced in game after game, and for whatever advancements have been made in player safety over time, pro football is, at its core, a brutal sport - and what happened to Alex Smith's right leg is not very different from what happened to Joe Theismann's right leg, exactly 33 years apart.
The former Washington Redskins QB - whose career ended after he was hurt on a sack by Lawrence Taylor on Nov. 18, 1985 - was at FedEx Field on Sunday and turned away so he wouldn't have to see the unnatural way in which current Redskins QB Smith's tibia and fibula twisted as they were fractured under the weight of Texans defenders J.J. Watt and Kareem Jackson.
Nor, unsurprisingly, was he the only starting quarterback hurt during a sack on this day: Marcus Mariota left the Tennessee Titans' 38-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts with an injured right elbow.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson took one last snap, kneeled to run out the clock on Baltimore's 24-21 victory over Cincinnati in his first professional start, then casually flipped the football to the referee. Jackson started heading to the locker room, pumped his fist - and then realized he wanted that ball to commemorate the day, so sprinted to run down the official and grabbed his memento. Jackson ran everywhere he wanted to on this afternoon, gaining 117 yards on 27 carries.
For so long, either a leaky offensive line or some sort of injury that might be traced to that o-line limited the effectiveness of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck. Well, just look at the guy - and the guys who are paid to protect him - now. Luck has not been sacked even once in the Colts' past five games, four of them wins, including Sunday against the Titans. Suddenly, the Colts are 5-5 and a contender for an AFC wild-card berth. Probably not a coincidence: Indy has been using high draft picks on linemen lately, including taking guard Quenton Nelson with the No. 6 overall selection this year.

'Boom' Feels Like a Bust -- For Now
Nirvana Scenario?
November 2003 David Brown, Explorer Correspondent
We're living through the petroleum industry's best moments in the past 15 years.
Crude oil prices have more than doubled since 1988.
During the same period, natural gas prices have almost tripled.
Executive salaries?
Through the roof.
The worldwide active drilling rig count dropped to 1,156 in the dark days of early 1999.
By mid-2003, the rig count was climbing toward 2,300.
So if this is an oil and gas boom, why doesn't it FEEL like a boom?
Conventional wisdom says the oil and gas industry can't believe in continued good times. Too many boom-and-bust cycles fried too many hopes.
"A lot of guys sitting at the top of the industry have been burned before, or almost burned," said David F. Morehouse, senior petroleum geologist for the Energy Information Administration's Office of Oil and Gas in Washington, D.C.
"A lot of them have been through two cycles," he said. "They aren't stupid -- they're going to learn."
Still... we could call it a little boom, right?
In today's industry, "some people are doing quite well," Morehouse noted.
Those include companies working coalbed methane or tight gas, and any other margin-sensitive operation where a $1 increase in the price of natural gas makes a huge difference.
But how can a boom feel more like a bust to service companies, geophysical contractors and many drillers?
The Stealth Boom
"I think the reason it doesn't (feel like a boom) is that it isn't the hyperbolic explosion of activity that we saw the last couple of times around," said Dennis Smith, director of corporate development for Nabors Industries Ltd. in Houston.
Smith thinks that's just fine for Nabors, a major driller with almost 600 land rigs, 970 workover and well-service rigs, 44 platforms and 17 jack-ups.
Instead of a boom-then-an-inevitable-bust, Smith foresees a sustained favorable period for the industry.

"Prices are going to average higher than people expect, and the same thing on rigs," he said.
Current conditions for drilling companies reflect the addition of rigs (Rig Count) to the available fleet in 2000 and 2001, according to Smith.
"Effectively, the industry in the Lower 48 ran out of rigs that were serviceable when the Baker-Hughes rig count got to 850," he said.
Drillers began adding refurbished rigs and drilling barges to available supply, and drilling demand has not yet caught up with capacity, Smith noted. So rig rates have increased but not spiked.
He described three major effects on current exploration demand, mainly involving large independents and the major integrated oils.
"The first thing we observed was that the public E&Ps learned something coming out of the downtrough in 1998-1999," he said. "They really embraced capital discipline over growth."
Second, the majors now tend to view most of North America as a fairly mature gas province.
"What really became clear is that the majors weren't going to be as active this time around," Smith noted.
And third, the industry is finally seeing some daylight as sustained higher prices provide impetus for activity.
"They're starting to get more active as gas prices have stayed higher than people expected," Smith said.
Canadian Comeback
For more sunshine, listen to Bruce McIntyre, president and CEO of TriQuest Energy Corp. in Calgary.
McIntyre also served as president of the Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists last year.
"In my 27 years of experience in this industry, I've never seen investors so willing to invest in oil and gas as they are now," he said.
According to McIntyre, this year brought an early start to activity in advance of Canada's winter drilling season, the period of "prime frozen ground activity."
Coupled with a prolonged spring-thaw season earlier in 2003, the early start portends a strong advance, he said.
"A lot of our drilling in Western Canada is given to seasonal fluctuations," he noted. "Right now, it is definitely picking up. It certainly seems much more like a boom."
McIntyre contrasted the industry position of a Canadian exploration and production company with that of a typical U.S. independent.
In Canada, he said, "the industry is bookended" with large upstream companies and small companies. Mid-size, U.S.-type independents are rare.
"Those companies are gone. They've been absorbed into the larger companies," he explained.
Smaller, nimble, publicly traded companies can go directly to the capital markets for funds -- and they don't have to raise a fortune.
McIntyre called this "scrambling to attract equity."
TriQuest is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and has a market capitalization of about $80 million. Since November, the company has raised $16 million (Canadian) through private placements, he said.
Some Price Protection?
Looking ahead, McIntyre sees a continuation of bullish natural gas prices -- a good sign for Calgary producers,
"I'm a believer," he said. "I'm sure we'll see price swings, but the lower end of the price ranges will be higher than they have been."
That won't necessarily lead to a boom, he added. For one thing, Canadian operators are encountering smaller average reservoir sizes, which mitigates the effect of higher prices.
"The pools are so much smaller these days, it seems to take more of a move in prices to move equipment into the field," he said.
But, barring a serious deterioration in gas demand, prices seem likely to stay firm, McIntyre observed. He said big new supply sources, like McKenzie Delta production, won't come on line within the next five years.
Call McIntyre net-positive on the price outlook.
"There's no apparent easy fix for the natural gas supply situation," he said.
Smith agreed that "we'll see a higher band" of natural gas prices, with near-term fluctuations.
"Weather will vary it," he said. "If we have a warm winter and a cool summer, the price will come in."
In the longer term, gas supplies may be supplemented by North Slope production, LNG imports and more of the world's stranded gas finding its way to North American markets, Smith noted.
Those additions won't have a big impact any time soon, however.
"We're probably at least a decade away before that makes a difference," he said.
"Good times" usually don't come with layoffs.
This time they have.
Companies continue to reduce staff after mergers, or to reorganize for operational savings.
EIA's Morehouse said petroleum companies are "getting more efficient. A lot of things that people used to do, machines are doing now -- everything from well monitoring to SCADA systems."
Additional mergers, new technology and more cost-cutting make scattered layoffs likely. And instead of pumping out new jobs, the industry is producing a steady trickle of openings.
Onshore exploration clearly won't drive hiring. "Nobody is going out in this country and drilling wildcats," Morehouse said.
Even so, the softness in prospect drilling seems strange.
"Part of the thing is a view of prospects and the status of prospects. I've seen reports say companies have all sorts of prospects. They just can't drill them," Morehouse said.
"Mainly it's a capital problem, as far as I can see. And in some places there's an access problem," he added.
This doesn't feel like a boom to Morehouse, and he has no trouble describing what one would look like.
"Rig counts zooming. You suddenly have a shortage of skilled rig labor. The prices of everything from drill bits to cement goes through the roof," he said.
His own agency's studies project modest oil and gas prices ahead, but with a coming crest of world oil production.
What that future holds, boom or not, probably won't be settled in North America, according to Morehouse.
"It depends on what happens in the Middle East," he said. "It depends on what happens in places like India and China. As they grow, it ultimately changes the world dynamics of the entire industry."
Potential for Prosperity
To Smith, a handful of constraints keep industry activity from booming. With continued strong prices, most of those can be overcome.
Here are the keys:
Current development and infrastructure projects have to be completed and producing, especially in the Gulf of Mexico.
"On deepwater projects, you're looking at spending hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions, over five to seven years. You want to get the cash flow coming before you start the next round of exploration," Smith said.
Independents need access to drillable prospects, and it has nothing to do with national politics.
"Majors hold a significant amount of acreage and a large number of potential prospects they aren't drilling. Smith described them as "prospects that will work at $3.50 gas, but not at $2.50." "Over time, those prospects will either get farmed in or sold, and they will be much more meaningful to the smaller companies," he said.
The industry has to get used to the reality of higher gas prices, and start the multiyear process of planning drilling programs.
"If you get started today, you're looking at four years to drilling, or three. Then you have another three or four years to production and payout. "You need to have real faith in the future of gas prices," Smith said.
Companies have to start hiring in earnest, to add capable and talented new employees.
Smith blamed "restraints on intellectual capital" for a slowness to respond to current opportunities. "This industry didn't hire anybody for 10 or 15 years," he said.
Prosperity for the entire industry may be just a matter of time -- for instance, the time it will take to work through a glut of seismic data. Smith prefers it this way.
A boom? Who needs it? Who would even want it?
Smith looks forward to years of a strong, sustainable market, and said:
"I think this is more the nirvana scenario for the petroleum industry."

Code of Ethical Conduct


Because of extreme hyperinflation (at its worst, 500 billion percent in 2008), Zimbabwe's national bank issued three massive redenominations of its currency, trading smaller-denomination new bills for much bigger-denomination old ones in 2006, 2008, and 2009. The largest bill ever printed, at the height of hyperinflation, was Z$100 trillion, which at the time of its issuance in 2008 was not enough to ride a public bus to work for a week. Ultimately unsuccessful at solving the problem, the government eventually abandoned the Zimbabwe dollar for its own use on April 12, 2009. The final conclusion to the process was the currency's official "demonetization" this year.
The demonetization period for the Zimbabwe dollar began Monday, June 15, 2015, and holders of the currency were given until September 30, 2015 to turn in their money to the nearest bank in exchange for US dollars. People with accounts of zero to 175 quadrillion (175,000,000,000,000,000) Zimbabwean dollars were paid a flat rate of $5 USD, and those with paper money received a rate of Z$250 trillion to $1 USD for 2008-issued notes (from the second redenomination) and Z$250 to $1 USD for 2009-issued notes (from the third redenomination). Accounts containing more than Z$175 quadrillion were exchanged at a rate of Z$35 quadrillion to $1 USD.
Finance and Economic Development Minister Patrick Chinamasa was quoted as saying that the demonetization exercise would cost US$20 million. As of August 10, 2015, local banks had reportedly converted US$4 million worth of Zimbabwean dollars to USD.
The end of the Zimbabwe dollar's circulation signals the formalization of the multi-currency system in use since 2009, and is meant to promote confidence in the economic sector. Currently, the notes are being sold as souvenirs to tourists, and some people have even taken to making crafts out of them. However, all is not bleak for Zimbabwe's own currency: the country's tourism and diamond mines provide opportunities for growth, and with increased economic prosperity it is possible the Zimbabwe dollar could someday be reinstated.
Zimbabwe has 16 official languages listed in its constitution, but official business is conducted mostly in English.
The Zimbabwe dollar's incredible rate of hyperinflation can be traced back to an economic crash that hit the country in the first decade of the 21st Century. Some observers blame the start of Zimbabwe's economic decline on strict pro-capitalism measures imposed on the country by international lenders in the early 1990s. But either way, it is widely recognized that by the year 2000, Zimbabwe's economy was suffering from the country's expensive involvement in Great African War, even as its government allegedly lied to international lenders about the true costs.
The real crash began during President Robert Mugabe's land-reform program in 2000, which essentially confiscated farmland in the possession of white Zimbabweans and gave it to indigenous black Zimbabweans. This redistribution was part of the ideology of the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) political party, which has been the only party in power since the country's independence from the United Kingdom in 1980, and which has been led by Mugabe since 1975.
The mass transfer of land ownership resulted in drastic reductions to food production, followed by the failure of various other sectors of the economy. Zimbabwe was transformed from an agricultural exporter, providing 400,000 jobs in the farming sector, to a net importer, with 94 percent unemployment. Many outsiders attributed the crash to failed policies of the undemocratic Mugabe administration, while the government and its supporters argued that sanctions from Western countries were to blame.
Facing this extreme economic crisis, Mugabe ordered that more money be printed to fill the deficit, and hyperinflation began, sometimes doubling prices several times in the same day. The currency was revalued by the government three times, "dropping zeros" from the value of the bills to counter the effects of the inflation – but it was not enough, and the decision was eventually made to abandon the Zimbabwe dollar altogether.

New RANZCR President
The incoming President of The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR), Dr Lance Lawler, has commenced his two-year term with commitments to highlight the role of radiologists in achieving positive patient outcomes and address the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the profession.
Dr Lawler is a former CEO of the Pacific Radiology Group, the largest private medical organisation in New Zealand, with almost 50 branches in New Zealand and Australia. In early 2017, Pacific Radiology became one of 24 organisations worldwide involved in IBM's Watson Health collaborative to help develop cognitive computing tools in medical imaging.1
Dr Lawler is the first New Zealander since 1995 to serve as President of RANZCR, the peak bi-national body for overseeing and improving the standards of training and practice in clinical radiology and radiation oncology in Australia and New Zealand.
A consultant radiologist practising in both Australia and New Zealand, Dr Lawler brings more than 35 years' training and professional expertise to his role as RANZCR President.
Dr Lawler said he is looking forward to advancing RANZCR's priorities of policy and advocacy, upholding quality standards and the training of junior specialists.
"Radiologists have a hugely important role in modern healthcare. This requires good relationships with the other medical colleges, policy makers and funders, and I am looking forward to further developing these during my tenure," he said.
Dr Lawler expects to devote much of his term as President overseeing the implementation of RANZCR's recently-launched teleradiology standards and lobbying the Australian and New Zealand governments to improve access and affordability of healthcare for patients.
"I also look forward to promoting the work of radiation oncology, a critical component of cancer care. Radiation oncology is a safe and effective treatment for cancer, contributing to 40 per cent of cancer cures," Dr Lawler said.
"RANZCR continues to help train world-class clinical radiologists and radiation oncologists and we are committed to having a positive and lasting impact on patient care and the professional life of our members.
"I am dedicated to ensuring all patients receive the same high-quality healthcare, regardless of where and when they need it. Therefore, the promotion of access to safe, appropriate, effective and quality services is a key priority for me and our College," he said.

SSE Airtricity League Champions Dundalk will begin their season at home to Sligo Rovers whilst last season's First Division Champions U.C.D. face a difficult trip to Derry City on the opening day.
Harps will follow up their first home game to champions Dundalk on Friday, 22nd February, while their third outing is away to St. Patrick's Athletic on Monday, 25th February.
Their first local derby will be on Friday, 1st March with a home game against Sligo Rovers in Finn Park with an 8 p.m. kick-off with first game against Derry at home also, on first Friday in April.
Reacting to the fixtures, Finn Harps manager said he would have loved to got Sligo or Derry at home in first game, but it wasn't to be.
"It is a hugely difficult start, but then what isn't. Having Sligo and Derry at home first will be good for the club financially. The treasurer will be happy with that.
"We need to be competing by that stage also. But then one game is as tough as the other.
"I suppose the other teams will be looking forward to meeting us and Bohs will probably be delighted to have us first.
"But then isn't it great to be looking forward to the season and talking about the fixtures," said Horgan.

How comfortable are your cows? New AI tool for precision herd management
By Anthony James	 November 27, 2020 No Comments
Irish agtech start-up Cainthus has released ALUS Behavior, providing dairy farmers with access to valuable insights on cow behaviour and cow comfort, pivotal to milk production and animal welfare, and ultimately, farm profitability and sustainability.
The Dublin-based computer vision and artificial intelligence company has developed state-of-the-art AI to automatically transform visual inputs from cameras into significant insights about feed management and animal behaviour. Having spent the last three years working alongside a farmer advisor group in North America, it has now developed ALUS Behavior, which monitors cows and their activities – such as lying, eating, and drinking – around the clock, to ensure they are displaying the behaviour patterns that result in maximum milk production. The visual data captured is processed in real time and key insights can be displayed on phone, tablet or PC dashboard, using an easy-to-use interface.
[Image Source: Cainthus.com]
Cow Comfort Index
If cows are relaxed and can show their normal behaviour, it directly results in increased health and welfare, better milk production and hence better farm profitability, according to the company. It argues the lying time of high yielding cows is, for example, crucial for maximising milk production and their welfare, and should be set at a minimum of 12 hours per day. The company points to research (Grant, 2007, Miner Institute) that shows that for every additional hour of resting time, milk production increases by approximately 1.7kg. Cainthus believes having the ability to monitor lying time is therefore key to improving productivity and identifying potential issues within herds, and can also provide more detailed analytics for an in-depth look at historical trends and the impact of changes to herd management practices.
Initially, ALUS Behavior will deliver insights into lying time and time out of pen. This will be enhanced in a later version, which will provide the full cow time budget, including eating time, drinking time as well as standing time. Another key feature of its most recent release is the Cow Comfort Index, which can be used as an indicator of lameness, and as an important validation of overall welfare.
ALUS technology – used for both Nutrition and Behavior – relies on a smart camera system that observes each pen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. [Image Source: Cainthus.com]
"Technology in agriculture is becoming more and more important, especially in dairy where efficiency is everything to survival because our net revenues are getting smaller and smaller," said Steve Maddox Jr., one of Cainthus' North American farm advisors. "To be able to make it in the dairy industry, we have to embrace technology and we are starting to do so more and more."
"The technology developed by Cainthus is the biggest revolution in dairy farming since the introduction of the first automatic milker," said Tyler Bramble, portfolio growth lead manager, Cainthus. "It delivers accurate, reliable, non-biased and real time information which allows for early intervention on the farm. This technology is offering producers the ability to increase the precision in which they manage their herd, and, as a result, drives efficiencies, maximises production and profitability on farms."
"I think the next three years are going to be the most exciting for precision livestock farming," concluded Cainthus CEO, Aidan Connolly. "Producers we speak to, with more than 2,000 cows, say they'll be using technology like Cainthus' within the next three years. With many of them, it's already happening. Cainthus has now installed its technology on several major farms in the US, tracking thousands of cows. We worked hard to ensure our unique technology provides meaningful value for producers. The feedback we get from them is very exciting."
ALUS Behavior is the second product that Cainthus has released this year, following the March 2020 launch of its award-winning ALUS Nutrition product, which aims to optimise feed management and labour efficiencies, by allowing producers to input their unique feed management schedule or create a new one. Once data is input, ALUS Nutrition passively monitors feeding events like feed deliveries, push-ups, and cleanouts; and tracks those movements relative to the desired schedule. If the events are not taking place as desired, producers are immediately sent a notification on the ALUS software so that they can act accordingly. ALUS Nutrition also tracks accessibility of feed and highlights times when feed is inaccessible, allowing producers to adjust the feed management schedule if necessary.
Meanwhile, a report in the Irish Times suggests Cainthus is currently seeking to raise more than US$50 million (€42 million) from investors, to help it further develop its AI-enabled livestock monitoring capabilities and product range.

7 Trends Driving Enterprise IT Transformation In 2019
CXOtoday News Desk 1 year ago
Enabling the business outcome in a 'real-time' enterprise environment is the next challenge for global brands and government agenciesin 2019. Tech companies will need to drive hard to continually exceed to their customers' expectations during a time of accelerating change.They will need to show how technology can help deliver on their customers' objectives, improve agility, security and impact, or they risk being disrupted.
Taking the above factors into consideration, Verizon Enterprise Solution lists out some of the enterprise technology trends that are most likely to impact our global business and government customers in 2019.
1) The Real-Time Enterprise will begin to transform how business works: Foundational technologies – Software Defined Networks,4G, the Internet of Things, intelligent video, security, telematics – are already changing the operations of business. In 2019, savvy CIOs will be focusing on how to reinvent their operations to leverage the enormous potential promised by disruptive technologies like 5G, artificial intelligence/machine learning,automation and robotics,augmented and virtual realityand the next-gen cloud including edge computing. Many of these technologies have now moved from concept to reality, and those who can best leverage the advantages they bring will increasingly be well placed to win the future.
2) Businesses will invest for performance: CIOs are recognizing that the network they use really matters to their business –a secure, strong network foundation enables them to deliver innovative platforms and solutions that will move their business forwards. Then, it's all about the service model and the tech surround that makes network-reliant applications available- the support, the professional services, service level agreements and more. The key is to find an expert partner with the network expertise to help you deliver on your business objectives. You can't run a modern business without secure network capacity.
3) We'll remember that the customer is king: Customer experience (CX) has been a hot topic over recent years, but many of us have had personal experience of the big brands letting us down. With AI infiltrating CX systems, there's an unprecedented opportunity to move to a principle of 'personalization for you', putting the customer back in the center of the business opportunity. The best organizations will use data to inform human engagement, remembering that this is what creates real relationships. But they'll leverage technology to do this at speed and scale.
4) We'll focus on the transaction guarantee: We've talked about software-defined networking (SDN) for a while, but it's now out there, live, and transforming business opportunities all around the globe, configured to match your cost and security requirements. In 2019, organizational success will be driven by how well CIOs leverage the many options that SDN enables, deliveringagility, flexibility, and scale to run their business. It's now beyond application-aware networking, and instead, about focusing on the transaction guarantee, and defining policies to support the specific application, time or location needs that will make the difference.
5) Contextual privacy will be front and center: There's never been a bigger focus on the importance of privacy, as data breaches continue to hit the headlines. Application users are keenly interested in how their data is used. In 2019, we'll begin to see a focus on contextual privacy requirements, linked to location-based awareness. This will change how organizations are able to approach their security, and keep personal data safe.
6) Automation will transform the workforce: Robotic process automation and machine learning will transform how business operates – and what skills a business workforce needs. In 2019, educators and businesses will focus on how to build a pool of data scientists and ML specialists to support our future skills needs, rather than yesterday's business requirements.
7) We'll go back to basics on security (again), but also focus on specifics: In 2019, organizations will redouble their efforts to strengthen their security posture. It's about understanding their risk environment, and ensuring they are doing the basics right to protect their business;practicing IT hygiene to keep infrastructure current to protect against vulnerabilities continues to be critical. Network-level security is essential – in a software-defined world, network segmentation and security is a central part of the design. But they'll also increasingly need visibility on data to drive insights and ultimately decisions on how to mitigate against specific security threats. But action will be taken – or the board or the customer will ask why.
"Our customers are seeking new approaches to gaining immediate insights into their operations and the customer –The 'Real-Time Enterprise' is definitely where they want to be, whatever the stage of their journey, and wherever they are located around the globe," said George Fischer, President of Verizon Enterprise Solutions. "It's no longer about digital transformation – that's a given and is accelerating, driving the need for real-time insights. It's about how they can build and managedigital to change their business opportunity moving forwards."
Fischer continued: "All around the globe, the speed of business, competition – and failure – is increasing.Our job is to use our unique combination of technology know-how, professional service expertise and global service model, to make the Real-Time Enterprise a reality. It's all about using our experience of working globally, at scale, to help our enterprise and government customers around the world realize their business objectives."

WASHINGTON – A U.S. research institute says North Korea has made new tunnel entrances at its nuclear test site in a sign it is preparing to conduct more underground explosions there in the future.
But the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies says there's no sign that Pyongyang plans another test soon.
In February, North Korea conducted its third nuclear test since 2006, drawing tighter U.N. sanctions. It now says it is willing to resume aid-for-disarmament negotiations without preconditions.
The institute says recent satellite imagery shows two new tunnel entrances at the Punggye-ri site and enlarged heaps of soil, suggesting construction of new tunnels or new entrances for existing tunnels.
The findings were provided to The Associated Press Wednesday ahead of publication on the institute's website, 38 North.


Not strict Paleo. It has cane sugar in it. But this is the best tasting non dairy ice cream I have ever had and I just had to share it!
I'm sitting out by the fire on this beautiful summer evening with my laptop because I just can't bear to be inside. Summer is a short season here in Northern Wisconsin and being a person who prefers the warm weather I need to soak up every moment I can. It helps me last the winter.
I can't believe I haven't posted about our raised garden. In addition to our large garden at our friends house we did a raised garden at our house in town. We decided to start out with one small one this year and see how it goes. Once again , my talented husband amazed me. He looked at some designs online and then went out and built it. Some two by somethings and four by something else and some nails and/or screws and we have a garden. Amazing! We shared a couple of yards of dirt with my father in law who also built raised gardens this year.
We have tomato's, peppers, broccoli and spinach in it. Please ignore the weeds. We did weed it after I took this picture. I went out early this morning and picked spinach for lunches! I can't wait for the rest of our plants to start bearing fruit!
I put one of my blueberry plants in there too. It's doing so well! Next year I plan on having a raised garden dedicated to blueberry bushes. I can't wait to eat these berries!
Our big gardens are doing awesome too. We are going to have a busy autumn canning and freezing all of our bounty!
We are loving doing the urbanish gardening at our house in town and our big gardens in the country. We've lived in suburbia, Brooklyn, NY and the wide open farming country of Iowa and loved all three. It seems God has blessed us with a mix of all that we love here in Superior.
The other day I was in a store and I found myself drawn to a jar of rocks. I thought this is really cool. I love the way this looks. I just couldn't buy a jar of rocks though. I have jars at home and I was sure I could find some rocks. I'm not really a Pinterest project person. Crafts aren't a strength of mine but I figured I could handle a rock jar.
I've never really been a collector of anything but I love the idea of having my house decorated with items from the environment around me. I've never gone hunting for rocks or sea glass before. Thankfully I live next to Lake Superior and that seemed like a good place to start the hunt for my homemade rock jar.
My husband, son and I had a morning free so we headed to our favorite beach Wisconsin Point and spent the morning rock hunting. Hubby and I rock hunted, my son was quickly lured into the lake to do some swimming.
It turned out to be a really fun family activity. And we had some good luck. We found blue, green and clear sea glass and an agate among the other pretty rocks and pebbles we collected.
We got a decent start on my rock jar and had a great time making some family memories! I threw in this last picture just because it is so beautiful!
During the summer one of our favorite places to go is Wisconsin Point. It's a long stretch of sandy beach surrounded by forest and Lake Superior. You can see the hillside of Duluth and the ships out in the lakes. There is a stoic white lighthouse with a red roof. On a still day, the gentle lapping of the water is mesmerizing and on a strong windy day the powerful waves crashing on the beach are a site to behold. Nothing can soothe the soul after a long day like a few hours at this beautiful beach.
Wisconsin Point is also an entry point for ships. We have been out there numerous times but we have never been out there when a ship has come through. Then the other night we were just starting to pack up to leave and I noticed a ship that looked as if it was lining up to come in. We jumped in the truck and drove down further down the beach to the entry point. I was right! The ship was coming through the entry point! This huge ship was close enough to talk to the crew. They even blew the horn for Noah when he asked. I had no idea how long these ships, or are they boats? Anyway, I had no idea that these Great Lake's ships are so long. It was so fun and so exciting to actually be there when a ship came through the entry. I am hoping since we spend so much time at this beautiful place that we will get to see another ship come through. Maybe next time it will be a salty (a ship that does both lake and ocean) and we can see what the differences are.
If you haven't been to Wisconsin Point you should definitely put it on your list of destinations this summer.
Our chicken are growing up fast. No more cute fluffy little chicks, they are now feathery teenagers. I came home from work the other day and found that Henrietta was missing from the box. Thankfully she was just behind the couch and we were able to catch her and return her to her sisters. They were obviously ready to be moved outside. So we (and when I say we, I mean my husband) got moving on building their coop.
My husband is amazing. He looks at some pictures of coops, goes to Menards and then goes out to the garage and BAM we have a chicken coop. And a super awesome one at that. The girls love their coop, though they've been a little hesitant to get out into their yard. Henrietta is the only adventurous one. She got right out into the yard and checked things out while the others sat in the doorway squawking at her. I can't wait for them to start laying eggs.

Cash – Cash was accepted more widely than other payment methods since it has been a traditional, much easier transaction. There were no costs involved with this payment method for the merchants unlike for Apple Pay they had to put up POS machines which incurred operating costs. However, the probability of fraud with cash transactions is more while Apple Pay is very secure and also transaction time through Apple Pay is lesser than a cash transaction.
Cards (Debit/Credit) – Credit and Debit cards are most widely used as they are faster and safer than cash transactions, but it includes security threats, for example if the card is stolen, it can be misused as credit cards don't require a pin for a transaction to take place. In case of Apple pay, transaction is completed through biometric authentication and encrypted through tokenization process which makes it more secure. Also, if one forgets their wallet, Apple pay can be a savior.
Electronic Direct/ ACH – These transactions account to be around 15% as it is widely used for online bill payments. It requires account details for the transaction to occur which is more time consuming than an Apple Pay transaction. The threat involved with ACH is high due to information leak while with Apple Pay, the bank information is not shared with the merchant.
Others – The other payment methods can be paper payments for example cheques, which require at least a day's processing time for the transaction to complete while Apple Pay is instantaneous.
App development and other administrative costs.
Apple Pay's value Proposition is what enables the business model. Apple Pay brings seamless and secure payment solution for its consumers which results in reduced fraud costs for the card issuing banks. This factor attracts payment networks to partner up with Apple Pay for which a small transaction fee is permissible. However, on the other side, the merchants have to incur equipment costs and also the customer base is restricted to apple phone users only.
Apple Pays business model will probably not be a big money maker as all they want to focus is on a secure and safe future. They want their customers to realize that they can handle internet operations securely and hence keep up with their faith on apple products.
Banks – Apple Pay interacted and worked with banks accounting for around 83% of credit transaction volume. The benefits that Apple Pay offered to the Banks were increased consumer experience and m-commerce transactions as it would be easier for the consumers to use their bank credit/debit cards. The major advantage was the superior security which Apple Pay offered through biometric authentication and encryption through tokenization which would result in reduced fraud cases thereby reducing the damage costs that the bank has to incur. However, with this advantage there was a fee which the bank had to pay according to credit or debit transactions.
Payment Networks – The payment networks were American Express, MasterCard and Visa which meant only open systems were involved and not the closed systems. These payment networks enjoyed the transaction volumes through Apple Pay.
Merchants – Apple Pay segregated their merchants into three segments, i.e., the top 100 merchants which conducted major transactions by value, the small to medium sized enterprises (SME's) and small market vendors including small merchants and farmers. The Merchants could offer Apple Pay through two ways, one through the website or app and other through a POS machine. The value for the merchants was in providing simple and faster payment environment for consumers (one-tap) along with a secure payment as consumer data was not stored preventing misuse. However, the disadvantage which came along with this was setting up the POS terminals and website developments which incurred operating costs.
Consumers – Consumers were the apple phone owners and the advantage for them was a faster and simple transaction where they had to input their details only once while setting up Apple Pay along with the assurance of their data not getting leaked through Apple Pay's authentication and encryption system. However, at places, Apple Pay transactions took time due to its shortcomings, for which consumers might have to face inconvenience.
Apple recognized the pain point of the current transaction process where customers had to fill repetitive forms about their credit/debit card details for a complete purchase on websites or applications. To eradicate this feature, it introduced Apple Pay where in the customer could use their existing card stored in iTunes or could register a new card for which only the CVV would be required every time for a complete purchase. This would solve the above problem and help Apple to target the growing m-commerce market.
The other feature which Apple wanted to work on was the security in payments to reduce frauds. They wanted to eliminate the risk of private data being leaked which they did through their enhanced security feature. Here, the payment was complete once the customer entered a pass code or used fingerprint which was then encrypted through the tokenization process, where a one-time code and a device specific token was used to perform transaction unlike the traditional method where the customer's card data was shared with the merchant driving data privacy breaches to occur. Apple Pay had a solution to the iPhone getting stolen or lost, where in the token would be generated remotely and would be linked to the same credit card, removing the hassle to cancel and issue a new card.
