Welcome to the Pale Gray Dot - Thoughts From The Frontline - Investment Strategies, Analysis & Intelligence for Seasoned Investors.
In February 1990, the Voyager 1 space probe reached the outer edge of our solar system. NASA commanded it to take a last image of Earth from 3.7 billion miles away. The planet is only a small speck from that distance.
Seeing that image, Carl Sagan profoundly called our home a "pale blue dot" in the vastness of space. Since then, we inhabitants of that pale blue dot have been turning gray at a rapid pace. The resulting demographic changes may appear insignificant against the backdrop of the cosmos, but they are increasingly visible here at ground level.
The aging of the world's population is already having profound effects on the global economy, and it is only getting started. Today we'll consider those changes, drawing partly from research conducted by the intrepid volunteers for the demographics chapter of my new book.
It is important to understand the profound shift in demographics that is going to cause sweeping changes over the next few decades. Those changes will broaden the scope of our study of economics and investing; they will alter our understanding of sociology; and they will radically affect politics and governments. Precisely what these changes will be is difficult to discern and predicting them requires some guesswork, but the one thing we don't have to guess about is the demographic shift itself. Everyone who will be over 20 years old in 2035 has already been born. Moreover, birth rate trends don't tend to change radically but evolve slowly.
We'll begin with the big picture. Experts think global human population first hit 1 billion around the year 1800. The next billion took another 120 years, arriving in 1920. It took only 40 years to add a third billion, by 1960.
From that point the growth curve turned higher, and now we're approaching 7 billion. What next?
Here we enter the realm of guesswork. I wanted to begin with this chart because it shows just how widely the estimates can vary. The UN's "low variant" line shows human population peaking around 2040 and falling below 6 billion by 2100, while the "high variant" has the population at 14 billion and still rising in 2100.
The gap between 6 billion and 14 billion is greater than the total number of people alive today. The gap is that wide because demographic projections require many assumptions. Most of them pertain to small changes in population, but they can combine to make a dramatic difference over time.
Unknowable future events may also bend the population curve. Baby booms and busts, wars, famines, epidemics, medical breakthroughs, and more are all potential game-changers. The late-20th century acceleration in population growth was mainly a result of modern vaccinations. Other technologies could have – and I think will have – similar impacts in the future.
Technology can cut the other way, too. We now have the capacity to wipe out entire nations and even the human race with nuclear weapons. Some scientists think our excessive antibiotic use will create drug-resistant superbugs that could kill millions. I don't expect such events, but we can't rule them out, either.
For now, at least, we are making new humans faster than we are losing them. The result is a growing global population. But the growing total population masks the shrinking population in much of the developed world.
Even as world population is increasing, it does not follow that every country and continent is growing at the same rate, or even growing at all. Presently we find the highest growth rates in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of the Middle East. The lowest growth is in Eastern Europe, Russia, China, and Japan. Notice the countries shown in shades of blue below. They are actually shrinking in population.
If you want your nation's population to grow, you need a higher fertility rate and/or longer life expectancy. Africa has both those factors on its side, though fertility rates are beginning to decline there, too.
Globally, the combination of falling fertility and longer lifespans means that the population is slowly growing older. This will bring something remarkable in the next few years: the world will shortly have more people over age 65 than it has children under 5.
You can see in this chart of UN projections that the elderly population is growing much faster than the child population is shrinking. To use a scientific term, that's really weird in the context of the last 10,000 years of human experience. The disparity between numbers of old and young will get worse, for the simple reason that (unlike interest rates) fertility rates can't fall below zero. Meanwhile, our ability to extend life on the other end can grow considerably.
The chart above comes from an excellent and very lengthy (175 pages) US Census Bureau report titled "An Aging World: 2015." It is chock-full of interesting data that I can't begin to summarize. You can read it yourself at the link if you want to get into the demographic tall weeds, a safari free of charge thanks to US taxpayers.
Sadly, little else about this story is free of charge. The aging population dynamic means we will have fewer younger people supporting a larger number of older people. Consider also that children too need care, so the real problem will be lack of middle-aged people to support both children and the elderly.
By 2050, for every 100 working-age (20-64) people, there will be almost 80 children and retirees who will require support. That sounds bad, but notice how little the ratio actually changes from now until then.
The problem is that we have not arranged ourselves on the planet in neat, homogeneous groups. In fact, most of the children are going to be in Africa and the arc around the Indian Ocean while most of the retirees will be in the developed world and China.
China's one-child policy is creating an ugly, upside-down pyramid. Each worker in that generation in China will end up supporting two parents, four grandparents, and probably one or more of the worker's own children, too. That is just not a formula for a successful transition to a more dynamic economy when more than half the population of China is still stuck in a subsistence lifestyle. Life at or near the Chinese coast is far different from that of the interior.
The demographic reality is that the working-age Chinese population almost literally falls off a cliff starting in the next few years. The first chart below shows working-age numbers in China, and the second chart shows China as compared to the US, Japan, Ireland, and Spain. Notice that China still has a higher percentage of working-age people than the other countries do, but these other countries have grown relatively rich before they have grown old. China does not have a Social Security program or anything close to the safety nets that have been created in the developed world. The Chinese are known for their propensity to save, but if you are part of the one half of the nation that exists on a subsistence income, you find it really hard to save.
I've said this before, but it's worth repeating: "retirement" is a new concept. For most of human history, people worked as long as they were physically able and died soon thereafter. And in much of the world that is still the case. Traditionally, the intervening period between no longer being able to work and dying was longer for people who had large families to care for them – which is one reason fertility rates were so high.
This state of affairs began to change in the 19th century when the advent of mechanized agriculture began to allow a farmer to feed his own family and still have food to sell. The work time of farm families was somewhat freed up, and more time could be devoted to helping the elderly to live longer.
At some point, supporting retirees went from being a family responsibility to a task shared between family and society. Governments created programs like Social Security in the US that guaranteed some minimal income to older folks. Businesses did the same with pension plans. Families were still the backstop, though, along with whatever savings retirees had accumulated.
Now that's starting to change. By choosing to have fewer children, we unwittingly sawed one leg off that three-legged retirement stool. It's hard to depend on descendents who don't exist.
Worse, the other two legs are starting to crumble, too. Defined-benefit pensions are rare in the private sector and unstable for government retirees. Individual investors tend to lose their money in market crashes and are often lucky just to break even. Even government plans like Social Security are in increasingly questionable shape.
And the data in the US is pretty stark. The average savings of a 50-year-old is only $42,000. The average net worth of somebody between 55 and 64 is $46,000. A couple at age 65 can expect to pay $218,000 just for medical treatment over the next 20 years. Eighty percent of people between 30 and 54 believe they will not have enough money to retire. One in three people have no money saved for retirement at age 65, and almost 40% are 100% dependent on Social Security. And we wonder why Social Security is the political third rail?
None of this is good news if you are approaching retirement age. Your stool is wobbly at best and possibly falling apart. That's not comfortable. What do you do?
The demographic statistics say I'm the exception. Most people don't have seven children or the financial assets to support themselves through their retirement years. Many people will work past what we now consider retirement age because they have no other choice.
Retirement planning will be a big problem in the developed world, where total population is shrinking. If this challenge is anything like those of the past, technological and entrepreneurial solutions will emerge. However, for Japan those solutions are not showing up fast enough to help their radically aging population. Kodokushi or "lonely death" refers to the Japanese phenomenon of people dying alone and remaining undiscovered for a long period of time. First noticed in the 1980s, kodokushi has become an increasing problem in Japan, attributed to economic troubles and Japan's increasingly elderly population. It represents upwards of 5% of total deaths – about 30,000 people a year.
Before you reach for the razor blade, there may be better answers. At Rob Arnott's conference last month, I listened to a presentation by Alicia H. Munnell, a Boston College economist who was previously Assistant Treasury Secretary in the Clinton administration.
Workers aren't saving enough money for the retirement income they'll need.
They need more than they think because they are living a lot longer.
Retirement age is rising, but not as much as life expectancy is.
Retirees also need more because healthcare costs are high and rising.
Low interest rates reduce what retirees can withdraw from savings.
401(k)s aren't working for most people because people make mistakes.
Munnell offers three solutions that she calls "straightforward." They are that, but they aren't what I would call easy for most people to wrap their heads around.
Work longer to build assets and shrink the retirement period.
Save more via Social Security and employer plans.
Consider the house as a retirement asset.
On the first item, she makes a very interesting point that I haven't seen anywhere else. You can work longer and still enjoy retirement as long as your parents and grandparents did.
Assuming you started work at age 20, rising life expectancy means that if you retire at age 70 in 2020, you will have the same work/retirement ratio as someone who retired at age 65 in 1940. My generation is enjoying better health in our later years than our parents did. We work longer simply because we can and because we enjoy it.
By Munnell's calculations, simply working until age 70 will do the trick for most people. The extra working years will give your savings more time to accumulate. Your Social Security benefits will also be higher once you do retire.
Now, I can punch all kinds of holes in this logic. We've already established that most people's self-managed retirement assets don't grow as they should because people make investment mistakes.
Also, there's no guarantee Social Security will keep awarding higher benefits to people who delay retirement. Further, people with health problems or physically demanding careers might not be able to work until 70, or even 65.
I think Munnell would acknowledge all these points. She goes on to say we should shore up Social Security by raising payroll taxes. She thinks an additional 2.68 percentage points of tax would do it. She also suggests investing some Social Security assets in equities. Another plank in her plan would see 401(k) plans made automatic and mandatory.
But while I acknowledge paying for the growing Social Security and entitlement benefits that are already on the books is going to require more tax revenue, it is not clear that increases in taxes are going to be easy to achieve. Further complicating the script is the possibility that throughout the developed world we'll see something like a generational conflict in which young people resist being bled to pay for the comfortable retirement of the elderly. But the elderly vote en masse, and that is not something that younger people typically do. That said, voting trends can change.
Munnell's last suggestion is to use the house as a retirement asset, either by selling and downsizing, or by getting a reverse mortgage. Fair enough.
The retirement problem is not just a US issue. Much of Europe is going to be going through dramatic changes in their entitlement and retirement programs as budgets and debt get blown out in the coming five years. Ask a retiree in Greece how life is going. Greece's situation is going to be visited on more than a few countries in Europe. And if the United States doesn't get its fiscal act together, sometime in the middle of the next decade a very nasty reality will come crashing down upon us.
Last week I ran across another study that brought up a new point. We all know that the figures on life expectancy are averages. Any given person will probably live longer or die sooner than average. Some factors are within our control; others aren't.
On the other hand, is it really a surprise that people with lots of money live longer? They tend to have healthier diets, get better healthcare, have more immediate access to emergency healthcare, live in safer neighborhoods, and avoid hazardous careers. I'm surprised the difference is only 2–3 years, frankly. I'm not sure anything a government can do can change this.
If one (admittedly favored) group can, in just a little more than a decade, add 2–3 years to its lifespan without consciously trying, imagine what concerted efforts could do. Such efforts are underway right now in labs all over the globe. It is perfectly reasonable to think that the next decade will bring advancements that add many years to our lifespans. Medical cures for obesity, heart disease, and cancer are all foreseeable within the next 10 years (though lifestyle will continue to be an issue). Advances in medical biotech will lead to a radical extension in lifespans – and healthspans.
As with all new technologies, these will be expensive at first. They won't be instantly available to everyone, everywhere. But neither was penicillin, or the polio vaccine, or heart transplant surgery. They took time to spread. I expect life-extension technology to propagate faster, though, for the simple reason that it makes economic sense to keep people alive and productive as long as possible. This will be doubly true in a world with fewer young people. Further, much of the new life-extension technology is going to have the same scalability as digital technology has had. We all know how phones and computers get better and cheaper. Medical care is beginning to ride the same technological wave as our favorite digital devices.
That formula obviously won't work – but it won't have to if we can make tomorrow's 80-year-olds as healthy as today's 60-year-olds. People might be able to keep working until 85 and be happy about it.
Let's turn back to long-term population growth. If fertility trends continue, I can foresee a day when most of the world will be reproducing at below-replacement rate. Total population will have to peak at some point and then begin to fall.
Economics is the study of scarcity and how we manage it. For centuries we've managed it by having more babies and putting them to work. That era may be ending soon. Then what?
In a world with a static amount of goods and services and a shrinking number of people to buy them, the natural response will be falling prices – deflation, in other words. Is that where we are headed? That may just become the case in the developed world. In the developing world we're going to see three billion more people enter the middle class over the next five years. They are going to want to buy refrigerators, cars, better food, more online access, etc. etc. Won't prices be rising?
Maybe. We may find that technology gives us an ever more abundant world. Or we may find that technology gives us new ways to spend our money, soaking up whatever excess supplies the robots build for us. Some science fiction writers imagine a world where even the robots are consumers.
One thing is certain: life here on the Pale Gray Dot will change considerably in the coming decades.
I will be speaking in Dallas on April 28 for the 14th annual Commerce Street Bank Conference. Then the next week I will again speak in Dallas for the seventh annual Inside Retirement conference, May 5–6. They have a great lineup of speakers, but I am most excited about getting to hear and maybe even talk with my personal writing hero, Peggy Noonan. I will admit that I'm a total fan boy of anything she writes. And her column this week was outstanding. She writes about "The Moment When 2016 Hits You." Anyone who has been observing the political scene – and particularly with a sense of history – knows we are in a period of real political upheaval. We have lost our anchor, which might be a good thing given the fact that we were going nowhere fast, but now we are going full steam ahead into uncharted waters, and both major parties must regroup.
Then on May 10 I fly down to Houston to speak at the S&P Dow Jones Art of Indexing conference. The conference is for financial advisors and brokers who are trying to understand how to manage risk while maximizing returns in the current environment. I will be in Abu Dhabi the third week of May and then come home and almost immediately go to Raleigh, North Carolina, to speak at the Investment Institute's Spring 2016 Event. I'm looking forward to hearing John Burbank and Mark Yusko (who will also be at my own conference the same week) and then being on a panel with them.
Afterward, I make a mad dash for the airport, arrive back in the Dallas late Monday night, and make final preparations for my Strategic Investment Conference, where upwards of 700 of my closest friends will gather to discuss all things macroeconomic and geopolitical. It is really going to be a great week! If you won't be going to the conference, you can have the next best thing: recordings of the speakers, delivered just a few days after SIC 2016 ends. You can order your set here.
As I have been writing about the problems of demographics and aging and composing a forward for Patrick Cox's book, I've been thinking about my own personal journey into aging. I will turn 67 later this year, and I have to confess that I feel much better than I expected to when I contemplated being 67 a couple of decades ago. Part of that is a healthier physical workout and diet regimen than my parents and their generation had, and part of it is the cocktail of supplements and nutraceuticals that Patrick Cox has discovered at the very bleeding edge of bioscience. You won't see those goodies in any hyperbolic ad promising you amazing results in one month, but the stuff coming down the road within the next five to ten years will be amazing.
I know that so far nobody has gotten off this planet without dying. But as I said earlier, my genetics and lifestyle should get me into my mid-90s. I think the biotechnological breakthroughs will get me into my hundreds and with a relatively robust healthspan. And I optimistically tell myself that I have about a 1% chance of making it to 150. Yes, you scoff, but if you looked at the science as I have, you'd agree that I might actually make it. I think my children have a better than even chance of getting to 150.
The question is not whether we will be able to regenerate new organs – I am 100% convinced that will happen within the next five years, and then we will see a cascade of new restorative processes.
The question is whether researchers will be able to get all of the "critical path" organs into a state of rejuvenation in time. For a number of organs, there is a clear path to getting new stem cells into them so the renewal process can begin. For other organs, it's a head scratcher. It will be a few years before we begin to test the first processes on real people, and my guess that will happen in Japan, since they have the most enlightened rules about using stem cell procedures. I wonder how much Tokyo apartments will be renting for in 10 years.


We announced our participation in the seed financing of Atriva Therapeutics back in July and are delighted to draw your attention to a news release from the co-lead investor High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF).

Q: How to return a resource string at random? ResourceSet rs = Resources.Loading.ResourceManager.GetResourceSet(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, true, true);

so far I have that line, which gets me all the loading messages,
my problem is the ResourceSet is an IEnumerable. I can't figure out what the best way to return a random string in this enumerable would be.
Ideally I'd do something like rs[Utility.Random(rs.Length)]
but I can't figure out how to cast the ResourceSet as a List (for instance), so I don't have to resort to an abomination like a manual loop with something horrible like:
    public static string RandomLoadingMessage()
    {
        ResourceSet rs = Resources.Loading.ResourceManager.GetResourceSet(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, true, true);

        int count = 0;

        foreach(object res in rs)
            count++;

        int position = Utility.Random(count);

        count = 0;

        foreach(DictionaryEntry res in rs)
        {
            if(count++ == position)
                return res.Value.ToString();
        }

        return string.Empty;
    }

A: Since you mentioned that you have access to LINQ, you can use the Enumerable.Cast<TResult>() extension method to convert the IEnumerable to its generic version (IEnumerable<DictionaryEntry>):
static Random rng = new Random(); // outside of method...

// ...

ResourceSet rs = rm.GetResourceSet(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, true, true);
var resources = rs.Cast<DictionaryEntry>();
string randomValue = resources.ElementAt(rng.Next(0, resources.Count())).Value.ToString();

Q: Java dateFishion coding I got a java if-statement problem which is You and your date are trying to get a table at a restaurant. The parameter "you" is the stylishness of your clothes, in the range 0..10, and "date" is the stylishness of your date's clothes. The result getting the table is encoded as an int value with 0=no, 1=maybe, 2=yes. If either of you is very stylish, 8 or more, then the result is 2 (yes). With the exception that if either of you has style of 2 or less, then the result is 0 (no). Otherwise the result is 1 (maybe).
After I plug in my code to the compiler there are something wrong with my code.
Here is my code

For this problem I don't what condition should the date be via if-statement.

A:
if either of you has style of 2 or less, then the result is 0 (no)

To handle this, you don't need to check >=8 for you and date variables in your first condition, rather it should be as shown below:
if(you<=2 || date<=2) {//just check date or you <=2
  return 0;
} else if(you>=8 || date>=8) {
  return 2;
} else {
   return 0;
}

Will Twitter's acquisition affect the bad joke eel market
Elon Musk, silicon Valley's "Iron Man" and the world's richest man, is set to head social media giant Twitter, following in the footsteps of car startup Tesla And Space exploration company spacex.
Will Twitter's acquisition affect the bad joke eel market ?
On April 25, social media platform Twitter accepted an agreement to be acquired by Elon Musk. Under the deal, Musk will buy Twitter for $54.2 per share, or about $44 billion in total.
Musk tweeted that day that he hoped the company would continue to provide a platform for people to express their different opinions. Musk also said he wants to make Twitter's algorithm public to make the logic of content recommendation and blocking transparent.
As for the future of the former President Trump's account, Musk has not publicly expressed whether he will restore the former president's Twitter account after the acquisition. However, Trump said he would not use twitter even if his account was restored. After the Jan. 6, 2021, riots on Capitol Hill, Twitter banned Trump's account.
The market price of bad joke eel
Eel contains a lot of nutrients, high vitamin content, can quickly restore human energy. Eel skin and fish contain a large amount of collagen, which can play a role in beauty and anti-aging. Most importantly, eels contain DHA and EPA, which are effective in preventing cardiovascular disease. Because of the high nutritional value of eels, people are paying more attention to their health benefits, which leads to greater demand for eels, and the price of eels is constantly changing.
In fact, the price of bad joke eel is not only related to market demand but also related to the catch of young eels. If the catch is high and there are enough eels to supply the market, the price will not be too high. If the catch is low and there are not enough eels, the price will naturally go up. Last year's catch was good, and I wonder if eel prices will fall again this year after such a big increase. Eels pro is a professional unagi eel farming and processing manufacturers in China. Looking for the bad joke eel, send an email to info@eelpro.com .
Market changes for bad joke eel
When Eel Festival arrives in Japan, even families who don't normally eat eel buy some to get in the mood. Although the festival is only one day long, the demand for eels is not limited to that day, so the market started to increase the demand for eels from the previous month.
There is also a reason why there is such a high demand for eels in Japan. In the past, people bought eels only around the eel festival when stocks were high and prices were not too high. But now, people eat eel all year round; except for the peak season in July and August, the market can not stop selling bad joke eel. As a result, eel stocks have plummeted, slowly becoming in short supply. In this case, the price of eels will naturally go up.
The bad joke eel market scope analysis
In recent years, eel has gradually gained popularity due to its use-value and nutritional value. According to the relevant data from bad joke eel, Asia is the world's largest eel consumption region, and Japan accounts for the largest proportion of consumption, with annual demand of more than 136,000 tons, accounting for about 2/3 of the world's total.
Fujian is a major producer of eels. At an eel fry farm in Fuqing city, Fujian Province, the overall economic benefits of eel farming have been steadily improving in the past two years, thanks to expanded sales channels and increased domestic demand, the farmers said. Taking exporting eels to Japan as an example, one ton of eel can be sold for about 120,000 yuan, nearly half of the profit. When eels are farmed on a large scale, natural seedlings are needed. This year's eel seedling fishing season has come to an end, affected by a variety of factors. This year's eel seedling fishing volume sharply decreased, and seedling bad joke eel prices sharply increased. It is reported that the catch of eel seedlings in China this year is only about one-third of that of last year. Industry insiders said that the reduction in the number of eel seedlings would promote higher prices in the end market.
The bad joke eel industry development trends under COVID-19
Due to the impact of COVID-19 and other factors, eels that had been exported to Japan in large quantities are "swimming back" to the domestic market, driving the development of Chinese eels. According to a report by China Central Television, eel exports in China have shifted to domestic consumption in the past two years, and the domestic catering market has a "special preference" for eels. Zhang Junbao, the founder of an eel restaurant in Beijing, said: "More than 95 per cent of the dishes in Heaven Food are eel, and 700 kilograms of eel are consumed in our restaurant every month."
Except for bad joke eel, the docking of production and marketing of aquatic products is not smooth. Disease control measures, a lot of logistics are interrupted, catering enterprises return a single serious, aquatic products processing enterprises continued to shut down, a serious shortage of market transactions, leads to the upstream among producers and dealers at all levels of inventory backlog phenomenon is serious, fresh product inventory cost is high, direct impact on the source of farmers and dealers at all levels of income, Some small market players may be wiped out because they cannot afford to lose money during the pandemic. In terms of international trade, the epidemic has thrown the global aquatic products industry into a panic. The price of bad joke eel foreign aquatic products, especially high-end seafood, has fallen off a cliff due to concerns that the epidemic will affect China's import demand for aquatic products. In terms of export, many countries have adopted entry control and are cautious about exporting aquatic products.

Hitzlsperger set for West Ham debut at last
Ian Cruise
14th February 2011, 3:20 pm
Updated: 30th May 2018, 6:13 pm
Thomas Hitzlsperger in action for Germany
West Ham midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger is set to make his long-awaited debut against Burnley in the FA Cup fifth round next week.
Hitzlsperger has not played for the east London club following his move from Lazio last summer after the former Aston Villa star picked up a thigh injury playing for Germany against Denmark in a friendly just three days before the season got underway.
The injury proved a lot worse than first feared and he was forced to undergo surgery to clear up a muscle tear.
Hitzlsperger has made a successful return to training and played an hour for the reserves against West Brom last week.
The German international is set to have another run-out for the reserves this week when they play Chelsea on Wednesday and should make his first-team debut in the fifth round tie at Upton Park on February 21.
Hitzlsperger said: "I want to play in the first-team as soon as possible and I need to speak to the manager.
"I'm pleased to say that I'm feeling good, I'm in good shape. We'll wait and see when I play for the first-team but hopefully it will be pretty soon.
"The most difficult time was when I first found out the extent of the injury. I've been looked after very well. The surgery went well and the treatment from the medical department has been excellent.
"They said it would take four months after the surgery and I'm right on time, so I'm really happy with the way it went."

Home News Events Birthday Milestone For Fast-Growing Engineering Business
Birthday Milestone For Fast-Growing Engineering Business
adi Group celebrates 25 years in business and a successful formula that has seen it quadruple in size since 2005, both in turnover and number of employees.
The Group was founded in 12th June 1990 by Alan Lusty as a single business offering; adi Electrical. Today adi is a multi-disciplined engineering Group, comprising 16 specialist service Companies and is completely self-funded and self-invested.
Located in King's Norton business park and employing over 450 people with a 2014 turnover of £64m, the group is on track to increase to around 1,000 staff over the next 5 years and has equally strong ambitions for the next quarter of a century as CEO Alan Lusty explains:
"adi Group has played a crucial role in delivering regional growth. Our employee count has increased from 127 in 2005 to nearly 460 in 2015. In addition to this, we have significantly increased our investments in infrastructure within the Birmingham area by investing over £1m in our new offices and manufacturing facility at our Kings Norton base.
"Whilst we are very proud to have employed a significant proportion of our staff from within the Midlands area, we have also grown substantially elsewhere in the UK and Ireland, resulting in a total of 12 operational locations.
"We are marking our 25th anniversary with a group-wide staff conference, bringing all 450 of our people together from our head office and eleven other regional and Irish sites. I can think of no better way to mark our 25th year than celebrating our employees' talents and energy in helping us reach such a successful milestone."
The last 25 years has seen profound change in the engineering solutions sector and indeed across the region which has seen significant economic development, especially over the last decade.
The adi business offers total engineering solutions to UK manufacturing blue chips, with customer sectors spanning food and beverage, automotive, aerospace, pharmaceutical and defence. It undertakes well in excess of 2,000 engineering projects a year, varying in size and value – many of which are for several multinationals headquartered in Birmingham.
Lusty continues: "In the coming quarter century, the role of multi-disciplined engineering will become even more important in driving growth, innovation, and productivity in industries such as food and beverage, automotive and aerospace. Looking ahead, adi Group is positioned to continue to unlock growth across these sectors. As a Group, our aspirations are to continue to grow by offering further engineering services. Our 25 year history has been to self-invest in a new division or service every 18-24 months, and we look forward to continuing this strategy during our next 25 years."
Aside from being significant supporters of the broader Birmingham economy in terms of job creation, adi Group is also an active investor in talent and CSR investment activity. In 2014, it created an apprenticeship academy and it has active links with local schools and colleges to encourage young people (especially female students) into the engineering sector.

You can defined the model view like below :
from flask_admin import Admin
from flask_admin.contrib.sqla import ModelView

class PostView(ModelView):

    def after_model_change(self, form, model, is_created):
        print(form, model, is_created)

    def on_model_change(self, form, model, is_created):

Move over Christmas, commercial holiday décor is expanding! Many shopping centers are moving beyond the traditional Santa sets when it comes to holiday décor. Malls have realized they can attract more visitors throughout the year by decorating for other seasons.
In recent years, we've created unique seasonal décor for Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Halloween and Hanukkah. Delighted guests have been snapping photos and sharing them on social media, providing shopping centers with free exposure and attracting more visitors! As a leading designer and manufacturer of commercial décor, we can create customized decorations to fulfill your unique vision of any holiday or event.
Why not brighten up the gray days of winter with interior and exterior Valentine's Day Décor? At Center Stage Productions, one of our festive displays included eight-foot tall foam letters spelling out the word "LOVE" and a giant red floating heart hung above the letters. The letters and heart were cut out from foam and then hard coated with rosin, using state of the art machinery. These pieces were then hand finished with red metallic floral sheeting, reminiscent of rose petals.
Would you like to decorate the exterior of your mall? Not a problem! A pair of bold red lips created with brilliant LED lights will be seen from blocks away!
Did you know nearly 127 million Americans planned to celebrate the traditional Irish holiday? Did your mall take advantage of the holiday with seasonal décor? We designed a festive 8 foot shamrock for the Paramus Park Mall. It was composed of 20 yards of green metallic floral sheeting and hung proudly over the fountain in the mall's center.
Center Stage Productions created egg-stra special Easter décor for numerous General Growth Properties shopping centers. We designed and manufactured unique homes for the Easter bunny that included bright flowers and decorated eggs of varied sizes, prints and patterns. The bunny's throne, where photo opportunities take place, was a larger than life sculpted egg. We decorated the eggs with a variety of fun patterns composed of polka dots, stripes and argyle.
General Growth Properties chose Center Stage Productions to create their "Mall-O-Ween Adventure," a fun filled Halloween promotional environment. Décor featured seven custom designed self-standing forms, each with their own Halloween personality and multiple cutouts for photo stand-ins. The centerpiece standee of the group was a haunted house which was surrounded by a pleasant pumpkin patch, a group of ghastly ghosts, a batch of black bats, frightful trick-or-treaters, freaky Frankenstein and finally, Grimm Reapers for the most daring guests. GGP malls paired the spooky Halloween displays with social media contests and shoppers happily shared pictures of themselves at the Mall-O-Ween set on Instagram or Twitter.
CenterStage Productions has been designing menorahs and dreidels for seasonal displays for years. We offer both contemporary and traditional designs to capture the essence of your brand.
Our holiday displays are also a great way to attract sponsors. Sponsors can choose to have their brand on the exterior of your display, which can be seen from a variety of viewpoints. Sponsors may want to incorporate their logo on some of the pieces inside your display. These temporary embellishments are easy to replace as sponsorship changes from year to year.
Seasonal décor can create a fun, exciting and meaningful environment for your guests. It sets you apart from the competition and builds interest in your community. Stunning décor will prompt guests to share pictures on their social media sites, thus increasing the exposure of your shopping center and providing an even greater return on your investment.
How does your shopping center or commercial property engage customers year round? For more ideas, please contact us any time or download our free eBook.

14 Sonoma County winery employees positive for coronavirus
The county's public health director has said that local spread of the virus is shifting from households to workplaces and that more cases are expected as businesses begin to reopen.|
MARTIN ESPINOZA
Fourteen workers at a Sonoma County winery recently tested positive for coronavirus, Public Health Officer Dr. Sundari Mase said Friday, offering no other details about the outbreak.
The incident is one of three separate workplace outbreaks Mase recently cited as part of the reason she halted further steps to reopen the local economy this week.
During a previous press briefing, Mase said recent infections were also found among workers at a water filter manufacturing plant and among a group of farmworkers. But she and other health officials have failed to respond to repeated inquiries about the outbreaks, including the names of the businesses, when they occurred and how many employees had been affected.
Mase has said that local spread of the virus is shifting from households to workplaces and that more cases are expected as activities and businesses in the county begin to reopen. Mase did say Friday that the three workplace outbreaks occurred at businesses that were considered essential and were not shut by the county's stay-at-home order issued in mid-March.
"I can tell you there's a winery that's involved, there are 14 persons that are positive in that winery and there's others that are under investigation," Mase said during her daily press briefing. "These, I think, are considered more essential workers, this is not … something that's happening in the outdoor tasting section for the winery, this is actually in the central worker group."
Mase said she did not have details readily available and would need to "sit and look at that data to give you very accurate information." She said she would need to consult a county epidemiologist "to map out the clusters, figure out the numbers in each."
Also on Friday, the county announced 17 new active cases of coronavirus, bringing the total to 548 since the start of the pandemic. Of that number, 322 are active cases, 222 people have recovered and four have died. As of Friday, there were 10 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Sonoma County hospitals and another eight people suspected of having the disease caused by the new coronavirus.
The news of a significant outbreak at a local winery comes at a time when county health officials and members of the Board of Supervisors were scrambling to respond to Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick's declaration Thursday that he would not enforce the local shelter-in-place rule.
Essick said on Facebook that beginning June 1 he could not "in good conscience" enforce local public health emergency orders without more information supporting these measures. During Mase's press briefing Friday, she was joined by Supervisor Susan Gorin and Health Services Director Barbie Robinson, with all three saying they had had productive and positive discussions with Essick and agreed to provide more information and to improve communications with his office.
But as of 6 p.m. Friday, Essick said his decision had not changed and that his office will not be enforcing the rule beginning June 1.
In Mendocino County, health officials reported the first two cases of coronavirus transmission in the community at large. There have been 29 confirmed cases of COVID-19, 21 of which are tied to close contacts with those who are known to have the virus, officials said.
A 30th case is being investigated as a possible false positive test result, said Public Health Officer Dr. Noemi Doohan during a Facebook Live briefing.
"This is a time which I had predicted would be when the pandemic would start to hit us hard," Doohan said. "And it's going to get worse before it gets better because we are opening up."
Doohan previously issued a new health order that went into effect at 11:59 p.m. Thursday, which allows places of worship to hold up to 100 people or 25% of their capacity - whichever is less.
Up to 100 people are also allowed to gather for a protest, permitted they abide by social distancing guidelines, and swimming pools can reopen solely for physical therapy purposes. Hair salons and other businesses involving hair services can reopen, but not to treat facial hair, Doohan said.
Doohan said Mendocino County will not reopen any further for about two weeks so officials can evaluate the impact of these new measures.
The news of an outbreak at a local winery was no surprise to one health care provider whose clients are predominantly farmworkers and their family members.
Michael Valdovinos, a clinical psychologist who works for Santa Rosa Community Health, the county's largest network of health centers, said many of his patients say they are under a great deal of pressure to work even if they're sick. Others say they have no choice but to carpool with other workers or they live in crowded conditions where social distancing is next to impossible.
"The outbreak doesn't surprise me because of the inherent risks that farmworkers have to deal with," he said. "I have talked to migrant farmworkers who live in houses, up to 20 people in a house, sharing one kitchen, one bathroom."
Michael Haney, executive director of Sonoma County Vintners, could not be reached for comment Friday evening. Sonoma County Winegrowers President Karissa Kruse could also not be reached Friday.

Janet Brady: Wild
Venue: The Gallery At St. George's House
When: 06/09/2017 - 01/11/2017
Janet Brady
The Gallery at St. George's House is pleased to present an ambitious new solo exhibition by Janet Brady.
Based in North Manchester, Janet is a fine art painter and printmaker who explores the textures, pathways and colours of our landscape.
After many years teaching herself the basics of drawing and painting, Janet enrolled on several inspiring courses with artists Hazel Campbell, Lee Crocker and Steve Walton. Following this, it was the artist David Tress who 'knocked me sideways, by the strength of feeling in his painting'. Janet was already painting with vigour, but Tress' advice and encouragement propelled her greatly.
Janet fell in love with printmaking from the celebrated printmaker Peter Wray. He inspired her to develop a striking signature style, which includes building collagraph plates from found objects, hinting at allotments, terrains and flora.
Having attended the Slade School of Fine Art for 'The Expanded Field of Drawing' short course earlier this year, Janet returned to London this Summer for an extended term. Janet says of her time at the world-renowned art school; ' It has been mind-blowing. There I realised how direct experience really is the key for me - as well as ideas and technique.'
Moving between painting and contemporary printmaking, this exhibition marks the stages of Janet's artistic journey and anticipates what's next for this exciting artist.
WILD opens to the public on Wednesday 6 September.
The gallery space is free to visit and open to the public Mondays - Fridays 9-5pm.

Do Led Lights Affect Our Sleep?
And vice versa – if we depart lights turned on at evening we will trick our our bodies into staying awake. And it can be carried out with any lights, heat or cold-toned lights. But any pure monochrome gentle is harmful for avenue lighting. If people or objects do not replicate that specific colour, then they're invisible. So they're way more likely to be hit in an accident, as a result of the driving force would not see them, but would see the road, pavement and grass and anything else that does reflect Red mild. White is well-liked in adorning and in style as a result of it's gentle, neutral, and goes with every thing. However, white reveals dust and is subsequently more difficult to keep clean than different colors. For example, if we change off all the lights and create darkness in the room during daytime we can trick our bodies into going to sleep. Sports teams sometimes paint the locker rooms utilized by opposing teams shiny pink so their opponents will lose vitality. Brides put on the colour white to symbolize innocence and purity. White displays gentle and is taken into account a summer time color due . Brides in the Middle Ages wore inexperienced to symbolize fertility. However, seamstresses usually refuse to use green thread on the eve of a style present for concern it's going to bring dangerous luck. Correlated Colour temperature (CCT) in lighting describes how the color of the light appears from a lamp, measured in kelvins (K). Colour Temperature - With conventional lamps, selecting the "colour of light" emitted by a lamp was not a alternative that was generally made. With some LED products, there is a selection of colors, choosing a color will set the mood of your space. Sign up for our e mail e-newsletter to be notified of particular promotions, discounts, and seasonal lighting guides from the consultants at The Lightbulb Co. Lighting may be complicated, but our pleasant, experienced staff makes it problem-free. Just contact us through chat, email, phone, or pop in and see us. ANSES also said that producers should 'limit the luminous intensity of vehicle headlights,' a few of which are too brilliant. The primary know-how for producing a white light combines a short wavelength LED such as blue or ultraviolet with a yellow phosphor coating. When considering LED strip lighting for outside use, it's important to make sure the product has a highly durable PVC physique which is out of doors rated and impact resistant. LED strip lighting can also be out there in splash and waterproof coatings. The intended utility will dictate the required Ingress Protection (IP) score of the LED. This ranking determines the lighting's level of safety towards both strong objects, such as dust and its protection against moisture. From utility and installation to color scheme and energy supply, it's necessary to think about a number of components when selecting LED strip lights. Men are more apt to say brown is considered one of their favorite colors. Currently the most well-liked adorning color, the color green symbolizes nature. People ready to appear on TV sit in 'inexperienced rooms' to loosen up. The whiter or 'colder' the light, the higher the proportion of blue within the spectrum. The report distinguished between acute exposure of high-depth LED gentle, and 'chronic publicity' to decrease depth sources. Mains wired lighting entails connecting the LED appropriate transformer to the mains after which connecting the transformer to the strip lighting. Once the adhesive backing has been eliminated, the strip may be fastened to the desired space.
It has become necessary for Shanghai Inlity Lighting Electronics Co., ltd. to continually cultivate, develop and update their skills to work successfully alongside high-tech.
For details on led pendant light, see Shanghai Inlity Lighting Electronics Co., ltd. at Inlity Lighting.
We should take a step back to review how Inlity approach tracking, implementing, and communicating compliance-related changes and attempt to identify areas of improvement in their processes.

Q: ELB(Classic Load Balancer) Proxy Protocol Not working on Kubernetes Cluster
*

*Created K8s Cluster on AWS (EKS).

*Created Deployment workload.

*Created Service Type Loadbalancer with annotation service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-proxy-protocol: "*"
(Which should enable proxy protocol on ELB) for TCP Port 4334.

So in my pod I am not able to see the Proxy protocol preserving the client IP.
Tried packet sniffers and tcpdump but no where I can see that client IP is preserved by protocol.
Can anybody tell me how to verify proxy protocol is preserving the client IP ?
Refer the Load balancer mentioned below. It has a policy named "k8s-proxyprotocol-enabled" which is applied on 'BackendServerDescriptions' on Instance port 31431.
One thing I observed is that in 'ListenerDescriptions'  for instance port 31431 policy name is empty. For proxy protocol to work as expected is it required to have 'k8s-proxyprotocol-enabled' should be applied on listener policy in listener description?
Can anyone confirm below config is sufficient for Proxy protocol to preserve source IP or extra config has to be done?

A: Yes, setting this annotation is enough to enable Proxy Protocol v1 at Load Balancer level (ELB Classic).

service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-proxy-protocol: "*"

I`m having ingress-nginx controller exposed via LoadBalancer Service type with aforementioned annotation, and when run it with logging level set to debug, I can see that each client request retains real Source IP:

172.20.32.78 - [172.20.32.78] - - [08/Feb/2019:18:02:43 +0000] "PROXY TCP4 xxx.xxx.xxx.xx 172.20.xx.xxx 42795 80" 400 157 "-" "-" 0 0.172 []

xxx.xxx.xxx.xx - is my private ip address, not LB one.

The other thing is to enable Proxy Protocol at LB`s backend, so that it can understand forwarded client requests correctly (here are described steps for NGINX).

Dark Awakening: A Star Wars Fan Film
March 10, 2015 Abhiraj Rajadhyaksha	Leave a comment
What is so great about Star Wars? I think Star Wars introduced us to a whole new Universe with limitless possibilities. There are plenty of characters and there are plenty of sub-plots which are completely untouched. And your creativity is the limit when it comes to developing any idea that revolves around the Universe. And that is exactly what the makers of "Dark Awakening: A Star Wars Fan Film" have done over here… What this film is about? Check this out!
4,000 thousand years ago an ancient and powerful artifact capable of amplifying the dark side present in any force user to terrifying levels went missing and was presumed lost…until now. Its location has been discovered by the Sith on a remote planet and is theirs for the taking. All they have to do is defeat a small group of Jedi who have settled there. But, when the Sith Witch who created it returns to reclaim it an ancient battle resumes with the fate of the galaxy resting in the winner.
I really loved the overall make-up and the costumes of the actors. Considering working on a low budget could be tough especially when it comes to producing something as grand as Star Wars, the person in-charge of these two departments has really managed to impress me. The Sith characters and also all the Jedis were very close to what the original series introduced us to. And that really helped me get a grip on the plot of the film. And yes! Tia Cherie Polite was awesome Lady Fatale!
The very first shot of a spaceship really intrigued me. But I felt that was the best shot of the film. Josh Kearney's presence as Darth Evicerus does a great job to carry the film through a confusing back story and set-up while we struggle to accept the action being anyway close to appearing credible. The visual effects of the film are not bad but I feel the film lacks the sense of what a good edit can do to a movie.
The film is a really brave attempt to achieve a compelling storyline based on some of the characters briefly introduced in the original Star Wars series. The screenplay does an exceptional job of incorporating this film into the pre-existing and percolating Star Wars cinematic universe. At some times, I felt overall the storyline, the effects and the sound of the film could have been much better. Even the performances. But I chose to overlook these facts considering the honest attempt by the makers. I hope this film receives a great response and the makers choose to bring us a sequel to this with greater cinematic scope. As the 7th installment to the original Star Wars film franchise is set to release in the month of December this year, I have decided to watch as many fan made short films based on Star Wars as I can. It will just get me more and more excited about the film that all of us have been waiting for so long!
The film, bounces with the energy of pure invention. Although there are a few flaws, I had more fun watching Dark Awakening than I've had in a long time. I hope we get to see more from the makers of this film…

The Kickstarter for the highly-acclaimed visual novel and eroge series Muv-Luv has officially started and is already setting records in funding.
[UPDATE] The Muv-Luv localization Kickstarter has just reached its $500,000 goal and is still going strong at $530,000 at the moment of writing of this update. Reaching and surpassing the $500,000 mark means Muv-Luv Extra and Muv-Luv Alternative will be getting ported to the PlayStation Vita and Android devices. The Kickstarter funding project still has 31 days to go before it concludes, so reaching the next stretch goal at $600,000 seems fairly realistic. [/UPDATE]

Degica will be giving the physical version of the codex to all $300 tier donors and creating two additional tiers at $220 and $80. The people who decided to pledge $220 will be able to pick a physical box of their choice along with the codex. $80 backers will be able to get the physical codex as a standalone item. Lastly, if the $900,000 goal is reached, every collector's edition of the game will receive a special limited edition Muv-Luv Alternative Sumika figma (seen below).
[/UPDATE]
[UPDATE 10/30/2015] The Muv-Luv side story collections Photon Melodies and Photon Flowers have just appeared on Steam Greenlight. Both titles are getting localized and ported over to the PC and will feature the following stories:

As reported by us previously, Muv-Luv is a highly successful series of visual novels, which later spawned a whole multimedia franchise consisting of novels, manga, anime and a tremendous amount of other merchandise including figurines, models and more. The official Kickstarter page for the localization of the series gives us a bit more insight into Muv-Luv's massive popularity.
Penned by the successful author of Kimi ga Nozumu Eien (well-known as Rumbling Hearts or "Kiminozo"), Koki Yoshimune, the Muv-Luv series started as a high school romance Visual Novel game in 2003 but quickly evolved into an epic science fiction based saga featuring an alternate world, giant aliens, mecha robots, and a complex cast of characters.
Selling more than half a million units since release in Japan alone, The Muv-Luv series has successfully made the transition to anime and manga, even spawning the "Moe Military" trend which is still raging in Japan. With over 3 million individual figurines, robot hobby models, and anime/manga sold; Muv-Luv is a force to be reckoned with and has influenced a huge number of individuals all over the world including prominent artists and creators!
This Kickstarter will focus on the localization and PC/Steam release of the first two titles in the series: Muv-Luv and Muv-Luv Alternative.
As stated above, the localization effort will focus on the 2003 release (in Japan) of Muv-Luv (consisting of two story parts of the overall trilogy Muv-Luv Extra and Muv-Luv Unlimited) and the 2006 Muv-Luv Alternative. Here are the story synopses for all parts of the trilogy, as seen on the Kickstarter page.
Muv-Luv【Extra】
Shirogane Takeru was living a peaceful life as a 3rd year high school student with his childhood friend Kagami Sumika. However, one morning Takeru awakens to see a mysterious girl named Mitsurugi Meiya sleeping in his bed.
Thus begins the start of a high school love comedy where Takeru will have to choose between his childhood friend and the girl insisting they are bonded by fate.
Note: Despite the "Extra" in the title, this is the start of the trilogy. Read it first!
Muv-Luv 【Unlimited】
Shirogane Takeru finds himself stuck in a parallel world where mankind is on the brink of extinction after battling against alien invaders known as the BETA for the last 20 years.
Takeru soon finds himself enrolled into the United Nations 11th Force to fight these aliens. In this strange world he finds parallel versions of all of his high school friends, with one exception: Kagami Sumika, who does not seem to exist.
Soon he will have to fight to save mankind and protect the girl he comes to love over the course of the story.
Muv-Luv Alternative (2006)
The second Muv-Luv game is a direct sequel to Muv-Luv Unlimited and the conclusion to the Muv-Luv trilogy. One of the most highly acclaimed Visual Novels of all time, Muv-Luv Alternative is the #1-ranked Visual Novel on VNDB.
Three years after witnessing the tragic exodus of mankind, Takeru wakes up believing that everything that had happened was just a dream.
The brief hope that he has at last come back to his world is dashed away as soon as he discovers that he is once more trapped in the parallel world of Unlimited.
Restarting on that fateful day he first came here, will Takeru manage to use his knowledge of previous events to change mankind's tragic future?
Degica's official Muv-Luv localization Kickstarter project began a little over 10 hours ago, and it's already breaking records for visual novel crowdfunding. At the time of writing this article the campaign has already surpassed its goal of $250,000 and is going well past $300,000. Based on surveys and an intense campaign that involved reaching out to Muv-Luv fans all around the globe, Degica has prepared an extensive list of stretch goals for the project.
For $400,000 the games will receive additional brand new CGs and background music added to the OST along with special unlockable content (to be specified later).
At $500,000 the entire trilogy will be ported over to the PlayStation Vita and Android-supported devices.
At $600,000 an official Muv-Luv digital codex will be created as a depository for all Muv-Luv lore. The codex will contain the English version of Muv-Luv Alternative Integral and Muv-Luv Alternative Lunatic Dawn.
「Integral Works」 is a 300+ page book containing detailed information about the world of Muv-Luv and Muv-Luv Alternative. It is a complete package of its own – Integral Works includes various short stories, illustrations and information regarding the creation of Mechas/Tactical Surface Fighters (TSFs), presentation of Anti-BETA tactical formations and military lore, history of most of the nations involved in the series.
「Lunatic Dawn」 is a series of fanbooks released by âge-soft during Comiket and other events exclusively, which supplements the lore with data on TSFs, design sketches, illustrations, comments, and also Muv-Luv related updates.
The current final $720,000 stretch goal will include the English localization of the PlayStation 3 exclusive Muv-Luv side story collections Photon Melodies and Photon Flowers.
Of course, the project would not be a complete Kickstarter campaign without proper backer rewards. Apart from the backer updates and digital copies of both Muv-Luv Extra/Unlimited and Muv-Luv Alternative, among other things, backers will be able to get their hands on the game's OST, specially made buttons, artbooks, plushies, plastic models and even a BETA hoodie and a TSF pilot jacket. Be sure to check out what funding tier nets you which reward on the official Kickstarter page.
Lastly, to further promote Muv-Luv and the Kickstarter itself, Degica has set up a unique contest, in which the grand prize is an all-expense-paid trip for two to Japan for one whole week.
