Welcome to the first video about trade.
In this video, I'll introduce the key concepts of trade.
is regarded as an important economic growth strategy.
also migration and capital flows and global value chains.
and I will show you the rigertive effect of trade for the domestic economy.
perhaps we have more than enough.
First, international trade in goods and services such as, coffee and cars.
Vice Canadian Governor Bonds or Shares and Philips.
of another production factor next to capital often with low skilled migrants.
chains in which good to produced form design to packaging.
A small steps in a production process in different countries across the world.
So, now I've told you the four components of globalization.
This leads us to another important question.
Here our focus on one of the four elements of globalization, namely trade.
Why do we trade in goods and services?
Well because ideally it benefits both trading partners.
We call these benefits the gains from trade.
We distinguish between static gains from trade and dynamic gains from trade.
The static gains are those captured by the consumer surplus.
imported goods as compared to domestically produced goods and more choice.
€2 per kilo if the country trade with the apple exporting country right.
The dynamic gain from trade are two-folds.
perhaps the country will not only export apples but also apple juice.
these are economies of scale.
the more efficient production will be thanks to a greater division of labour.
This leads countries to specialize in what they can produce relatively cheap.
That's precisely why France specializes in wine and Germany in beer production.
The other dynamic gain from trade is that it allows access to foreign technology.
Brazil, these countries received the technology for car production.
But in practice the benefit of technology transfer is limited.
Technology is widely available anyway.
not allow foreign staff in their foreign production units to get access to it.
its Beetle model, but not for its latest car models.
dynamic gains to generate huge flows of goods and services.
If not, we would not see so much trade in the world.
Now how do we measure trade?
The measurement of trade is actually very simple.
We just add up the money value of all exports and all imports.
If we trade openness we divide this by GDP and call it the trade ratio.
The diagram here shows you the ratios for a few countries.
Look at the countries mentioned in the diagram.
Singapore, Ireland, and the Netherlands are the most open countries in the world.
The most globalized you could say.
The value of their exports and their imports is more than 150% of GDP.
So the trade is bigger than the national economy.
Compare this with countries at the bottom of the diagram.
Such as China, United States, and Brazil.
China has a trade of 50% and US and Brazil have one between 25 and 30%.
It is because these are very big countries with large internal markets.
most of the consumer goods are produced domestically.
So most of the GDP is for domestic consumption, not for exports.
French wine and cheese as the Dutch have.
When we talk rate, we talk about the balance of payment.
Trading goods and services is accounted for in the current account.
And international capital flows are accounted for in a capital account.
that the balance of payment total is always zero.
Because its three components even each other out.
the capital account is the reserves held by the central bank.
These are foreign currencies and gold.
What also matters for the value on the balance of payment is the exchange rate.
It's the value of a country's currency expressed in a foreign currency.
Changes in the exchange rate affect the components of the balance of payment.
a country is likely to see its exports increase and imports decrease.
and less money going out.
And then, we have a leakage effect.
The leakage effect from trade means that trade can reduce aggregate amount.
not on domestically produced goods.
That is precisely why m has a negative sign in a macroeconomic equation.
AD equals C plus G plus I plus X minus M.
The leakage effect occurs because of imports.
So let's look at the import equation IM= m x Y.
m is the propensity to import.
Just like the propensity to consume, it's a number between 0 and one.
And it's lower than a propensity to consume, small c.
Any m that is not 0 implies a leakage in multiplier.
This is the multiplier without rate.
which is one divided by 0.2 And the result is five.
So the no-trade multiplier is 5.
we subtract the propensity to import from the propensity to consume.
Let's assume the propensity to import is 0.3.
So now we divide one by one minus c minus m.
The new denominator becomes: 1- 0.8- 0.3 = 0.5.
conclusion The negative effect from trade reduces the multiplier.
In our example, it went down from five to two.
I will take you through some theoretical perspectives of trade.
I will use the example of two real world trading partners, Argentina and Brazil.


Purchasing a new backpack can be an arduous and time consuming task. The market is crowded with a lot of manufacturers providing a variety of styles of pack to meet diverse hiking needs. Camelbak has been in the game a long time developing packs that have internal water reservoirs. Recently, Camelbak has developed a line of ultra light packs that utilize the newly designed water reservoir that resides in the lumbar area of the pack. One such offering in this line is the Octane 22 LR.
Please note that in the photos included with this article the stitching on the bag shows a 20 instead of a 22. The pack used in the review was an early model sent out for review and testing purposes. After a triple check of the product before finalizing the design the Camelbak folks found that actual capacity was even better than the first thought and was actually 22 liters! For more than a decade I have used a Camelbak packs and water reservoirs for hiking. It is with great enthusiasm that I have the opportunity to test out the Octane 22 LR.
The Octane 22 LR is manufactured from Diamond Box Rip, taffeta and nylon and comes only in black, lemon and chrome color combination. There are reflective materials on the rear of the pack as well as backpack straps. The pack has 1160 cubic inches of storage space or 19 liters. Combined with the 3 liter water reservoir once can deduce why it was named the Octane 22 LR. While most of the storage is in the main pack space there is an overflow area on the back of the pack. The very top of the pack has a small area for wallet, keys or electronic device. The Octane's harness is made of ultra light 3D mesh that includes a pocket, a whistle and an adjustable sternum strap. The waist belt is 1 inch thick and also includes two small zipper pouches at the base of the bag. The entire pack with water reservoir unfilled weighs in at 1.95 pounds. This is significantly less than the other Camelbak packs I have used in the past.
My favorite part of the Octane 22LR is newly designed water reservoir. Typically water reservoirs have been oblong in shape kind of like a two liter bottle and rest along the spine from the bottom of the shoulder to the lower back. Camelbak has a developed a bladder that is more triangular in shape and is designed to sit in the lumbar region of the back. I really like this design especially in terms of how the rest of the pack is built for packing gear. Traditionally most packs that have water reservoirs are loaded in the top of pack into a sleeve that runs along the back of the backpack. The Octane 22 LR loads from the bottom via two small zippers and a Velcro closure. I really like the way the water reservoir fits into the backpack from the bottom. The water tube and bite valve are fed through small openings in the bag that is then secured to a clip on the shoulder strap. In older packs the water bladder takes up a lot of room and protrudes into the main pack storage area. The Octane 22 LR has remedied this by the design of the water reservoir. Access to the packs main storage area is unobstructed.
I had the opportunity to do some field testing with the Octane 22 LR by taking it on several day hikes while on vacation. Each hike was approximately four to six miles on nature trails close to my home and gave me a chance to test the backpacks abilities. On each hike I filled the water reservoir to its three liter capacity. I tried to pack lightly and included a medical kit, a survival kit, a MRE, and a light rain coat. The pack was as comfortable to use as my older Camelbak and I really liked the way the water reservoir sits in the lumbar region of the back. Given the packs light weight design and the way it was packed, the Octane was pleasant to use even without the waist belt.
Normally for longer day hikes I pack more gear and found that I had a lot of unused space in the Octane. Based on this observation I feel that this pack could be used for an overnight trip by including a small tarp, space blanket, extra food and a change of clothes. Picking through all of my gear I packed the Octane 22 LR this way minus the small tarp which I currently do not own. A tarp, light blanket or poncho liner can easily be attached to the outside of the bag. Given the volume of the bag and its water reservoir the Octane 22 LR could potentially be used as a bug out bag depending on how it was packed.
The only issue with the Octane 22 LR as tested is the waist belt. If your pants size is less than 38 inches you will have no difficulty utilizing the waist belt. A buddy of mine who has a svelte 32 inch waist and of average height put the pack on when the belt was fully extended. It fit comfortably around his waist at the navel. Another friend who I asked to try the pack on has a 38 inch waist and of average height was able to secure the belt at his navel. It was a tight fit but he was able to push the belt down to his belt line. In my case I have a long torso, big shoulders and wear pants in a size 40. I was able to secure the waist belt at my navel but it looked terrible and was unpleasant. Due to my long torso and shoulders I was not able to push the waist belt down to my belt line as I have with my older Camelbak pack. When I compared the two together my old pack is a bit longer. If you are above average in height and have a large frame the waist belt may be a no go with this pack. I hope that since this is an early version of the backpack that in its final configuration it has more adjustability in the belt. Just a couple of more inches of material in the belt would allow larger folk to fully utilize all the features of this great pack. As long as your world isn't framed in XXL this pack is ideal. My own personal sizing issue aside, hiking without the waist belt was not a problem and the pack never felt uncomfortable during use.
Overall, the Camelbak Octane 22LR is great backpack that provides a lot of functionality in an extremely light weight bag. Camelbak's M.S.R.P is 130 dollars for the Octane 22 LR. A search of the Internet will yield prices close to M.S.R.P as well as a site or two that offer the bag for a little less than 100 dollars. Backpacks vary greatly in price these days and considering what is available in the market the cost of the pack does not seem exorbitant. Based on my past experience with Camelbak's products from years of hiking I definitely recommend the Octane 22 LR.

Ricardo Alarcon, president of Cuba's National Assembly, has repeatedly said that for the Bush administration to carry out its program of returning Cuba to its capitalist past, the U.S. military would have to invade. The ensuing war, said Alarcon, would last for generations.
Cuba has characterized its defense strategy a "war of the whole people," and to underscore its point, 4 million Cubans joined regular armed forces for a week of military exercises ending Dec. 19. Citizens gained familiarity with supply methods, command networks, and new weaponry, including artillery and anti-aircraft weapons.
One aim of the exercises, named "Bastion 2004," was undoubtedly to send a message to Washington that it should not make the mistake of attacking the island nation.
Just six weeks before, 105 dissidents gathered at the U.S. Interests Section in Havana on the evening of Nov. 2, U.S. Election Day, to "vote," just as if Cuba was the 51st U.S. state. Not surprisingly, 83 percent chose George W. Bush for president.
A few weeks later, the Interests Section put up an outdoor Christmas display with Santa Claus, reindeer, and more. A big number "75" materialized on the side of its building, with a prison cell replica set up nearby, to remind the world of the 75 so-called Cuban "dissidents" jailed in April 2003.
Court testimony at the time of the trials of the 75 showed that many were in the direct pay of the U.S. It turned out that 12 counterintelligence agents pretending to be "independent journalists" had joined the accused dissidents. They showed videos at the trials of U.S. officials handing out money, fax machines, computers, and household goods to the accused.
Tensions appeared to be heightening. But against this backdrop of posturing, provocation, and military preparations, some surprises were in the offing.
Cuba has released 14 of the dissidents over the past two months, ostensibly for reasons of health. Yet most of the released prisoners seemed free of obvious signs of disability and sickness. So why aren't the "mercenaries," as they are known in the Cuban press, serving out their jail terms?
Nothing has been said officially, but the prisoner releases may be related to Cuba's efforts to improve relations with Europe that suffered in the wake of the dissident trials and jail sentences.
Former right-wing Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar had led the charge against Cuba. His successor, socialist Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, is reported to have suggested to Cuban representatives at a recent Ibero-American Summit gathering that the release of Raul Rivero might pave the way for warmer relations with European nations.
Rivero, a journalist who wrote about the seamier side of Cuban life for Cuba Net and El Nuevo Herald in Miami, was among those recently released, perhaps not coincidentally.
At a Columbus Day celebration at the Spanish Embassy, Ambassador Carlos López Zaldívar advised his guests about the prospect of improved relations with Cuba. Cuban dissidents at the gathering then walked out en masse. This reflected a significant turnabout.
Spanish sources indicated Dec. 14 that the Advisory Committee of the European Union for Latin America has recommended that diplomatic sanctions against Cuba be suspended. If European foreign affairs ministers give approval in January, as is expected, then European nations will resume high level diplomatic visits to the island and aid for cultural and social projects in Cuba.
Surely friendship with Europe serves Cuba well, especially should U.S. hostility rise to the level of military action, threatened or real.

2020 IPO Excitement Peaks With DASH & ABNB This Week

The IPO market is back in the public equity limelight this week, with two listings expected to net over $6 billion from newly debuted shares. Analysts are estimating that DoorDash and Airbnb will be valued at $36B and $42B, respectively. This puts each on track for being some of 2020's greatest IPOs. Another set of red-inked IPOs with an enormous amount of interest.
The IPO market remains scalding hot as this unprecedented year comes to an end, and investors are thirsty for high-risk, high-return equities. The Renaissance IPO ETF IPO has more than tripled since its pandemic bottom, and the recent vaccine announcements add to the market's already abundant optimism.
Renaissance IPO ETF Price and Consensus
Renaissance IPO ETF price-consensus-chart | Renaissance IPO ETF Quote
It feels like the whole world is more bullish than ever this holiday season, and Christmas is coming early for two well-timed IPO's from digitally driven market leaders Airbnb and DoorDash. Each company has progressively raised its ambitions for its listings as interest for their shares begins to materialize in their 'virtual' investor roadshows these past weeks.
DoorDash IPO
DoorDash (DASH) will be the first out of the gates Wednesday (Dec. 9th) with a target share price between $90 and $95, and analysts are looking at the upper end of this range. The appetite for fresh tech shares is extensive, and investors are more willing than ever to climb up the risk ladder in this ultra-low-interest-rate environment.
DoorDash has been provided with a massive technology-driven tailwind in 2020, and I suspect it will continue to drive growth throughout the Roaring 20s. This smartphone-incepted food delivery application's ease and convenience will not lose its demand in the post-COVID world.
DoorDash's management team is looking to raise just over $3B in a deal that would value the enterprise as high as $36B. This would represent a 14x price to a very conservative 2020 sales estimate.
2020 pushed DoorDash to levels it wouldn't have seen for years if not for the pandemic, and now is the perfect time for this enterprise to release its shares to the broader public.
The business has had a year for the history books, with its year-to-date gross booking nearly tripling from 2019 and its EBITDA flipping to strong positive territory as the company takes over the food delivery space.
DoorDash went from the #3 US food delivery enterprise with a 17% market share at the beginning of 2018 to the segment's largest player today with a 50% market share (represented in the graphic below from the company's S-1 filing).
I have no doubt that this enterprise's parabolic growth combined with its positive EBITDA (something we don't see in many IPOs these days) will have investors swarming the stock on new issue day.
I believe that the future of this business is bright as the online-driven foodservice space explodes. The question that analysts and investors need to ponder is whether DoorDash can maintain its #1 positioning in this highly saturated category? Uber's recently announced acquisition of Postmates will give its food delivery business a firm #1 positioning in some key US markets and provide it with the scale it needs to compete with DoorDash.
Airbnb IPO
Airbnb is expecting to release its shares, Thursday (Dec. 10th), to the public one day following DoorDash's listing.
The enterprise stumbled through the COVID-crisis, but it is preparing to soar in the rapidly digitalizing new normal.
The company is being privately valued at $42B, a valuation that has been raised multiple times since late November from $30B.
If I am able to purchase ABNB (its anticipated ticker) at the original $30 billion target valuation or less, I will pull the trigger on opening day. This would represent 6.2x price-to-2019 sales, a bargain for a business with extensive amounts of growth ahead of it.
I think I will be hard-pressed to secure shares at that valuation as I suspect that growth thirsty investors/traders will swarm into this market disruptor out of the gates. I would wait till the dust settles on this one before chasing a rally.
Despite not yet turning an annual profit, this is an opportunity to get in on the business's ground floor before its value goes parabolic when it hits profitability. This phenomenon is exemplified by Tesla (
TSLA - Free Report) , which has illustrated 650% returns in what is going to be its first profitable year.
Recent Struggles
The pandemic began as a cash-hemorrhaging crisis for the online vacation rental pioneer. The business ramped up marketing and administrative expenses in 2019 in anticipation of a record 2020, but the COVID-induced economic coma threw a wrench in that forecast, leaving Airbnb stretched thin.
The red-hot start-up has only lost about $2 billion since it was incepted in 2008. Still, its costs were accelerating with CEO Brian Chesky slightly over-extending operations. The enterprise was forced to lay-off a quarter of its workforce and raise $1 billion in debt at 9%, which is an interest rate that reflects a business in distress.
The second half of 2020 is picking up steam as the business saw a big uptick and local stays. When combined with Chesky's cost-cutting measures, Airbnb was somehow able to pull off a profitable 3rd quarter for the business, maintaining its three-year profitability trend in this season.
The Potential Opportunity
This global pandemic has acclimatized society to rely on the ease & convenience of digital technology and avoid strangers at all costs. Airbnb provides travelers and lodgers with these unique qualities.
The economy is becoming more digitally incline every day as Millennials and Gen Z's take over as the dominating consuming generations. According to Grand View Research, as of 2019, over 71% of vacation rentals are booked offline, a massive opportunity for Airbnb, with Millennials and younger expected to make up 75% of all consumption by 2025.
Airbnb's total addressable market is enormous. The world spent $4.7B on travel in 2019, and I suspect that we will return to similar levels in 2021. The global lockdowns have people itching to get out and take a vacation.
Hotels may not be as attractive to travels for upcoming vacations as they will be forced to pass strangers in the halls or get in elevators with them, something I believe people will continue to be less comfortable with in the new normal. Airbnb's online platform and typically stranger free experience should see a significant tailwind in the years to come.
The appetite for risky IPOs is soaring with the rest of the tech market. The innovation-driven Nasdaq-100 propelled over 42% returns in 2020 and looking higher for 2021, in the wake of one of the most digitalizing years in history.
I'm taking a 'look but don't touch' approach to both of these enterprises debuts this week. I will wait for the dust to settle before I jump into either of these red-inked enterprises.

Oracle (ORCL): Value In A Sea Of Excess?

Last week the Kansas Supreme Court issued a ruling remanding a 107-charge criminal case against Planned Parenthood to the District Court for prosecution.
The ruling was hailed as a victory for pro-life supporters, including Operation Rescue, which worked for years to see Comprehensive Health of Planned Parenthood (CHPP) of Overland Park brought to justice.
The Supreme Court opinion attempts to chronicle the history of the case that involves a complex set of legal actions spanning an Attorney General's inquisition over two administrations, six mandamus actions, three grand juries, three criminal cases, and other legal maneuverings that are enough to make one's head spin. However, the basic nature of the case is very simple.
CHPP stands accused of 107 criminal violations, including 23 felonies. The evidence that could prove the case has been intentionally locked away by those who put politics and ideology above the laws of the State of Kansas and the well-being of women. Now Kansas Supreme Court has at least partially released the evidence and several witnesses from a gag order that prevented them from testifying in the criminal case.
To briefly summarize the complex history of this case, in 2003, then-Attorney General Phill Kline launched an inquisition into abortion clinic abuses. He subpoenaed abortion records from CHPP in Overland Park and from George Tiller's Women's Health Care Services in Wichita. The abortion clinics resisted the subpoenas, launching a dizzying chain of legal maneuverings over the next three years. During his inquisition, Kline also obtained from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) reporting forms that are required for all abortions done after 22 weeks gestation.
Kline eventually received the documents he had requested, with all patient identifying information redacted. That was fine, because Kline never sought the identities of patients. The records contained evidence that would spawn three criminal cases for a grand total of 156 criminal counts against two abortionists.
Kline was replaced as Attorney General in January, 2007, by Johnson County District Attorney Paul Morrison, an avid supporter of abortion. In an unusual turn of events, Kline was appointed to complete Morrison's unfinished term as Johnson County District Attorney, where he continued his investigations of CHPP that resulted in the current case involving 107 criminal charges.
On June 26, 2007, Morrison issued a letter "clearing" CHPP of any criminal wrong-doing, fulfilling a campaign promise to put an end to the abortion investigations began by his arch-political nemesis, Kline.
Morrison was forced to resign in disgrace in December, 2007, after it was revealed that Morrison had long been involved in an illicit sexual affair with a staff member in the Johnson County District Attorney's office, then attempted to use that relationship to spy on and otherwise thwart Kline's continued efforts to investigate abortion abuses.
Former Governor Kathleen Sebelius, who now serves as Secretary of Health and Human Services in the Obama Administration, appointed Steve Six to complete Morrison term as attorney general. Six was sworn in on January 31, 2008.
He also recounted that CHPP attorney Pedro Irigonegaray came to him unannounced and asked that all documents concerning CHPP be returned to him.
When I spoke to Mr. Irigonegaray, I pointed out there was a problem. And, you know, I have described this as he looked at me like my golden retriever does when he doesn't understand. He looked surprised. And I have known him for 25 years and truly he was surprised. He said, 'You're unpredictable.' And as a judge, you don't like to be called unpredictable because you like to be very deliberate about your rulings.
I have known him for so long, I did what I probably should not have done, but for the relationship, I pulled these records from the file and I said, 'Pedro, look at these records. There is a problem.' And I said, Mr. Morrison probably shouldn't have written that clearance letter like he did.' Mr. Irigonegaray said, 'It looks like this is going to last for a while.' And I said, 'Yeah.' And that was the end of the conversation.
I have not tried to make a determination as to whether the lawyers cooked the books. I've known you too long. You wouldn't do that. I don't know what happened in this production. But I do know that these records and the records that were produced with the medical record are not the same.
In preparation for a preliminary hearing in the CHPP criminal case, Kline reissued subpoenas to Anderson and the KDHE. A motion to quash the subpoenas was held on April 3, 2008, was taken under advisement. That same day, Steve Six heard about the possibility that evidence could be presented at a preliminary hearing on April 7, 2008, and immediately filed an emergency motion for a protective order with the Kansas Supreme Court.
However, Six withheld important information in his emergency filing. He neglected to tell the Court that Anderson had previously testified at a hearing in January where the "manufactured" records had been discussed. He also failed to mention that the preliminary hearing had been delayed six weeks.
A gag order was issued by the Supreme Court on April 4, 2008, ordering Anderson not to testify or release any documents, while erroneously thinking that the information was still secret and that the preliminary hearing was only a couple of days away.
That gag order stood, delaying the prosecution of CHPP for over two years until last week, when the Supreme Court modified their order to allow Anderson and other to testify. However, the Court continues to block certain documents under the control of the KDHE that could be vital in proving that Planned Parenthood manufactured documents in an effort to cover up for the fact that the documents bearing the determination of fetal age at the time of the abortion were illegally missing from patient records.
While Anderson remained gagged in the CHPP criminal case, Six was exempted from the gag order and was allowed to access evidence gathered by Kline's investigations to prosecute George Tiller in Wichita, Kansas, in March, 2009. That case ended in Tiller's acquittal. Nevertheless, the treatment of Six's requests for evidence were granted while Kline's requests were denied, leaving open speculation that political friendships and feuds have unjustly overruled the doctrine of equal justice under the law.
The CHPP case is currently under review by Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe, who will make a decision whether to drop the case, or proceed with a prosecution. Howe was a political opponent of Kline. A call to his office confirmed that he is still reviewing the case.
"We can only pray that the political feuding that has caused years of delay stops here, and that decisions are made from now on according to evidence and law," said Newman.
LifeNews.com Note: Troy Newman and Cheryl Sullenger are with Operation Rescue, a national pro-life group that focuses on exposing abortion practitioners and abortion facilities and their illegal and immoral efforts.

Compression is one of the greatest development in the world of level commissions in MLM business.Compression is a technique that keeps nonqualified, inactive distributors from achieving a payout level in a level commission plan or MLM plan.
Dynamic compression is a fascinating development on compression. comparing with the standard compression method where the commission amount is not fully paid. Dynamic compression is applicable to those distributors who are in a premium position and has a number level of distributors, most probably it's four to five level. Simply stating dynamic compression pays out all levels of a level commission. Unlike standard compression, dynamic compression compresses not only the inactive or non-qualified, it compresses people who don't qualify for a specific level of commission. In dynamic compression, it compresses out the unqualified distributors on that specific level and pays the desired level commission to their up line.
The main advantage of dynamic compression is that a leader can get paid by the company even from their deeper downline. The main disadvantage of dynamic compression is that when qualifying to a level is difficult, then distributors may be paid down few levels because few people in their downline are qualified. Another disadvantage is that when someone on such distributors first level qualifies all of the income then moves to the first of the distributor, thereby causing a sudden and drastic fall down in the earning of that person.
Instead of implementing dynamic compression, A company can try other methods to use the breakage to encourage the desired behavior. Dynamic compression is not the effective way to get a full payout, and a full payout is not required for the correct approach. A company should consider options like selecting a best MLM Software, effective MLM plans etc.


A vehicle wrap is an effective and eye-catching way to communicate your marketing message with your customers. Of course, that depends on the quality of your design and the clarity of your message. Get it wrong and you could be making a costly mistake that not only misses your target audience, but ignores the new customers waiting to engage with your brand.
Before you start to design your new marketing wrap, ignore every design you've seen, however cute, funny or striking. Those designs may work brilliantly for those businesses, but they're not your business, and they won't communicate with your customers. By all means, do some research into the benefits of vehicle wrapping, but when it comes to designing your own, be as unique as possible and avoid these 5 elementary mistakes.
Like tweaking a design you like that you found online, digital templates can give you great ideas, but they won't exactly replicate the real world outlines of your vehicle. Yes, they can create a useful dimensional impression of your vehicle, but that's all it is. Designing a killer vehicle wrap is a skill that brings together several disciplines, so don't prioritise one above the others.
When you understand the power of mobile advertising and the low cost per impression ratio of 4p per 1000 impressions, it's easy to want to get your design signed off and printed as quickly as possible. It's a quick way to make mistakes, not just in the design of your wrap, but in the choice of materials and style. Take the time to research what your competitors are doing and to view all your design choices through your customers' perspective, not your own, in order to get the best possible return on your investment.
This is the time to remember the KISS mantra – Keep It Simple, Stupid. Never overcrowd your design with slogans, USPs, contact details, photos, graphics and logos. The most effective wraps communicate a clear message to your target customers to connect them with your brand. Your logo should be the hero of the design and you should stick with your brand colours and slogan. You don't need to reinvent the wheel to create an eye-catching design that your customers can pick out in traffic.
Don't plaster your vehicle with advertising – your vehicle wrap is all about boosting brand recognition and loyalty. Keep marketing copy to a minimum, in favour of prioritising your brand identity, your contact details and your slogan. When it comes to vehicle wrapping, simple and familiar are your friends, to help stand out in a sea of competing visuals.
You're probably thinking how hard can it be to design an effective vinyl wrap? If you want to create a professional impression – and you'll have less than 5 seconds to make a first impression in London traffic – then you need a professional designer who can help you avoid all the pitfalls and make your vehicle look sleek and unique. At Vehicle Signwriting, we'll help you get the very best out of your vehicle wrapping for maximum ROI, so get in touch today.

"Donald Glover premiered two new songs on Saturday Night Live this weekend, and while he was on stage, he also dropped a music video for one of the singles — "This Is America." The video, choreographed by Sherrie Silver and directed by Hiro Murai, has a lot jammed into it for a four-minute video. It's an expertly packaged analysis of what's really happening in the United States. Here's what you might have missed: Some Twitter users initially believed the man playing guitar at the beginning of the video was Tracy Martin — father of Trayvon Martin, the young boy who was killed by George Zimmerman in 2012. Turns out it's actually Calvin II, a musician based in Los Angeles. You can listen to more of his work @CalvinTheII."

Last December Disney released Star Wars: The Force Awakens and this year they are releasing Rogue One: A Star Wars story, setting up the holiday season to once again be Star Wars season. I personally love a big movie release around the holidays. It gives you something fun to do over winter break, it gets my husband out of the house for an evening (or 2 depending on how many times he sees the movie) and it makes for some fun new items for my sons holiday wish list.
Star Wars is very popular in my house and last holiday season my son got lots of Star Wars themed presents, which were a big hit. This year is not different and Star Wars gifts are making an appearance under our tree again.

I have always been fearful of giving birth. It was so bad that for many years, I didn't dare to get pregnant. Through speaking with you, I discovered that I had difficulty with the 'uncontrollable' aspects of the birth. It's not possible to plan when the birth begins, and you know that it will be painful but can't predict how bad the pain will be. You and I together prepared for the delivery as concretely as possible. It became clear that I could have more influence than I had expected. After the delivery, I was very proud of myself, and I don't feel the need to postpone a second pregnancy any more.
After the birth of Mees, I took care of him as I should, but I was not overwhelmed with a mother's love and I didn't feel at once as if I were his mother. I wondered if I should love this child, just because he was my child? I was embarrassed about this feeling and felt guilty toward Mees. At first, I didn't dare to speak about this with anyone, because a new mother is expected to be on a pink cloud of contentment. I could express my 'negative' feelings with you without feeling judged. I am certain that this helped my mother's love for Mees to grow.

Amidst Divorce Battle, Nawazuddin's Niece Files Sexual Harassment Case Against Actor's Brother After Years
in GENDER STORIES, IN THE SOCIAL
Amidst Divorce Battle, Nawazuddin's Niece Files Sexual Harassment Against Uncle After Decades
While actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is embroiled in a bitter divorce battle with his estranged wife Aaliya Siddiqui, Nawazuddin's niece has now filed a sexual harassment case against her uncle at Jamia police station in Delhi. She has alleged that she was abused when she was a child at the age of nine.
The woman who is now married and lives with her husband in the capital said she was raised by a stepmother as her parents got divorced when she was two. She quoted,
As a child I didn't understand thinking it was my uncle, but when I grew up I realised it was a different kind of touch. There was violence too.
She has also alleged that the actor didn't support her against his brother. She said Nawazuddin's reaction to her accusation was
Chacha hai, aisa kabhi nahi kar sakte (he is your uncle, he can't do this).
Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Wife Sends Legal Notice Demanding Divorce & Maintenance
The woman had a court marriage and claims her father and her uncle have been harassing her in-laws as well. She told the media,
Even after my marriage, my father and Nawaz bade papa was also involved, filed false cases to harass my in-laws. If they would have been strict then this would not have happened. They never believed me.
Sharing how she expected Nawazuddin to understand her, she said,
Nawaz bade papa once asked me what I want to do in life, I told him all that was happening with me and that I felt mentally disturbed. But he said there is nothing like that. I thought that at least bade papa (Nawazuddin) would understand, he lives in a different society and would have a different mentality. But he was like your uncle can never do this.
After Demanding Maintenance, Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Wife Wants Sole Custody Of Both Children
Aaliya on the other hand took to twitter to express her vindication. She wrote,
This is just the beginning. Thanking God for sending so much support already. Lot will be revealed, shocking the world as I am not the only one who suffered in silence. Let's see how much of TRUTH money can buy & who all would they continue to BRIBE.
She also quoted how ever child needs support and child abuse must be reported.
Children need care & support. No one should take advantage of any helpless child. I am happy to know that every person who has information of child abuse is punished for failing to report the offence. Non-reporting of cases to protect image of person or family is a bigger crime.
Who knew about this offence & kept quiet, time will tell. Lets see who is finally punished for CRIME & for NON-REPORTING & Who will be "LET-GO". Image & Reputation of NONE is more important then life & safety of a child. SAD. The child had to stand for herself without support.

About Walter's Mercedes-Benz of Riverside
Walter's Mercedes-Benz of Riverside is a true story of achieving the American dream. Owner and Founder Walter Kienle was born in Germany to Swiss parents and immigrated to the US in 1948. Walter quickly found work as an automotive mechanic, but elected to sign up for the Army in order to serve his adopted country. He went to tank school and achieved the rank of Staff Sergeant. While stationed in Riverside, Walter discovered how much he loved California.
Bringing German Heritage to California Sunshine
After an honorable discharge, Walter went back to New York to start a family and opened his own garage. Missing the warmer weather, his family moved to Riverside, CA in 1960. He started an automotive repair business specializing in European models, and in 1965 earned the right to begin selling them as well.
Walter's Mercedes-Benz of Riverside has since expanded to become the Walter's Automotive Group which includes Porsche Riverside, Walter's Audi Riverside and Audi Ontario becoming the # 1 seller of European luxury imports in Southern California*. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter center is now one of the top retail sellers of commercial vehicles in the country and will be opening a brand new sales and service center right here in Riverside, in early 2020.
Mercedes-Benz was the first and remains the largest member of the Walter's Automotive Group. Walter sadly passed in December 2017 and now his son Steve will proudly carry on his Dad's legacy. Walter would be proud to know his Mercedes-Benz store was recognized as a Best of the Best Gold Laurel recipient for 2018, which is the highest and most prestigious award a Mercedes-Benz dealer can receive. In addition to being a Best of the Best Gold Laurel, Walter's Mercedes-Benz of Riverside was ranked by DealerRater.com as the Highest rated Mercedes-Benz Dealer in California for 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019

My Idea is to create so called "Manual Mode" in Single Player Game, that allow player to choose opponents and starting positions before the race.
Very interesting and nice recommendation.
I am pretty sure than manageable start positions were already suggested, and devs consider it, but - maybe - because of hardcoding limitation or devs developping another parts of the game it was not made yet.

AmeriLithium to Commence Nevada Lithium Project on April 20, 2010
AmeriLithium's Paymaster Project represents a 5,880-acre claim block adjacent to the Clayton Valley playa, where Lithium-rich brines and evaporates have been accumulating for more than 30,000 years, resulting in the highest Lithium content found in any brines tested by the US Geological Survey (USGS) in southwestern US playas and basins.
In light of the Paymaster Project's close proximity to existing Lithium production in Clayton Valley, NV, a preliminary report on the Paymaster property (GeoXplor Corp, Nov. 25, 2009) recommended Seismic and Gravity geophysical surveys to determine the basin's depth and delineate the depth and thickness of the project's Lithium-rich layers.
Clayton Valley is home to the only US-based Lithium producing plant, operated by neighboring Chemetall Foote Corporation, an international specialty chemistry company headquartered in Germany with a worldwide network of roughly 40 subsidiaries (Chemetall is a subsidiary itself of Rockwood Holdings, Inc.). The plant has been in production since 1967, producing an estimated 50 million kg (55,000+ tons) of Lithium to date from the region's rich brines.
Because Lithium compounds are only produced in the US by a single company (i.e., Chemetall's Clayton Valley-based Lithium producing plant), the reported production is withheld from publication to avoid disclosing proprietary company information (USGS, 2010).(4) As for the mineral endowment of the neighboring Clayton Valley, in 1975 I.A. Kunasz of the American Institute of Mining estimated 750 million kg (826,000+ tons) of Lithium, while a 2000 study by Price, Lechler, Lear and Giles suggested that the weathering of high Lithium-bearing rocks has released significantly more Lithium into the Clayton Valley catchment.
PAYMASTER PROJECT EXPLORATION PROGRAM
AmeriLithium will utilize a 3-stage exploration program for the Paymaster Project:
Complete a gravity survey over the claim area to determine the depth of the basin and define areas of maximum potential for Lithium brine concentrations (additional details below).
Complete a 2d seismic survey over the claim block to delineate the depth and thickness of the Lithium rich layers.
If results from the gravity and seismic surveys are successful, a drill program would be recommended to define reserves and establish the grade of Lithium mineralization within the delineated basins that contain anomalous amounts of Lithium.
Matthew Worrall, AmeriLithium's CEO, commented: "From the start, our focus has been to develop into one of the leading American players in the global Lithium industry, and I can't think of a more fitting accomplishment toward that goal than the beginning of our Paymaster Project exploration program in Nevada. We have the funding we need, the location we need, and soon we'll have the data we need to determine how and when we can take our next steps toward producing domestic Lithium to meet the growing market demand."
Lithium deposits are currently mined to the immediate south of AmeriLithium's Paymaster Project in Clayton Valley via an environment-friendly and economic solution-mining technique, pumping brines from aquifers only a few hundred meters beneath the valley.
Such subsurface brines currently represent the dominant raw material for Lithium carbonate production worldwide due to the lower production costs when compared with hard-rock ore mining and processing.
Recovery costs are further reduced through the absence of royalty fees on mining in Nevada; a quicker and easier permitting process for placer (alluvial deposit) mining than hard-rock mining; and lower recovery costs due to the brine's low manganese content when compared to the high-manganese brines found in Chile, which represent 63% of America's Lithium imports (USGS, 2010).
ADDITIONAL GRAVITY SURVEY DETAILS
Mr. Jim Hasbrouck, Hasbrouck Geophysics, Inc., Prescott, Arizona, has recommended one kilometer line spacing and 250m stations for a total of about 100 gravity stations (based on approximately 25 line kilometers). The project, including mobilization-demobilization, should take approximately 15 days for field completion and another 30 days for the interpretation and final report. The gravity data will be acquired with a leased LaCoste and Romberg Model G gravity meter by Jim Hasbrouck, Hasbrouck Geophysics, Inc., Prescott, Arizona, and/or Lorin Stieff of GeoXplor Corp. with infrastructure and support supplied by GeoXplor Corp.
The data will be processed using the GravMaster computer software developed by GeoTools Corporation with field estimation of terrain corrections to Hammer Zone C and the use of DEMs to Hammer Zones M. Deliverables will include Bouguer Anomaly sections along each line, a three-dimensional compilation of those results, and a final report detailing the methodology, data acquisition, processing and interpretation. Mr. Hasbrouck will process and interpret the data, and prepare the final report.
Lithium is a lightweight metal used in a wide range of consumer products the world over: the medical industry uses Lithium as an anti-depressant; industrial uses include glass, ceramic and porcelain enamel manufacture; the aviation industry uses Lithium in alloys. Of particular interest is the use of Lithium for battery production, which has expanded significantly in recent years due to rechargeable Lithium batteries being used increasingly in electrical tools and in the rapidly expanding portable electronics market.
Furthermore, the next generation of hybrid and electric vehicles are being designed to use high-capacity Lithium-ion batteries as environmentally-friendly fuel alternatives while the Obama administration has introduced $5 billion in funding and incentives for the development of a secure, domestic battery industry with special focus on Lithium-ion batteries.
AmeriLithium is a publicly traded (NASD OTC BB: AMEL), mining company committed to progressively developing into one of the leading American players in the global Lithium industry. The Company is headquartered in Lake Tahoe, NV. AmeriLithium has amassed a Lithium portfolio consisting of ~710,000 acres, including a Nevada-based project adjacent to the only Lithium producing plant in the US, a large project in Alberta, Canada, and a project in Western Australia.

KTM Duke 125 Test Ride Review – Is The Baby KTM Worth It?
The KTM Duke 125 is now priced at Rs. 1.25 lakhs (ex-showroom).
The Duke 125 gets a price hike of Rs. 6800/-
KTM India had introduced the smallest capacity Duke in the Indian market last year. The KTM Duke 125 was launched at a price of Rs. 1.18 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi). With the new financial year in the cycle again, the company has increased the price of the smallest Duke. The Duke 125 is now priced at Rs. 1.25 lakhs (ex-showroom) which is almost Rs. 6800/- more than the price when it was launched. The KTM Duke 125 is the most powerful 125cc motorcycle in the country.
With the launch of the Duke 125 in India, KTM is recording a huge demand for the small capacity motorcycle. The smallest Duke has outsold the other offerings from the manufacturer like the Duke 200, 250 and 390 in the period of December 2019 to February 2019.
The 125cc offering from KTM is different from the ones sold in Europe which get similar styling like the current generation of the Duke 390. The India spec Duke 125 shares its hardware with the Duke 200. The motorcycle sits on a lightweight and strong trellis frame and is suspended by USD forks in the front and a monoshock at the rear.
Powering the KTM Duke 125 is a 124.7cc, single-cylinder engine with liquid cooling and dual overhead camshafts (DOHC). The engine makes 14.3 BHP of maximum power output with 12 Nm of peak torque. The braking is taken care of by disc brakes on both the ends and it gets a single-channel ABS unit with rear-wheel lift protection. The engine comes paired with a 6-speed gearbox.

NOAA kicks off updating the recreational fishing effort survey
NOAA Fisheries announced today it will transition from a telephone survey to a mail survey to gather data on fishing trips (effort) of Atlantic and Gulf Coast saltwater recreational anglers.
During 2015-2017, NOAA will conduct both surveys together to calibrate new mail survey results with historic phone survey effort data. NOAA Fisheries will not use the new data in fishery management decisions until 2018. We will continue to work with our partners throughout the three-year period to ensure a smooth and efficient transition.
The Transition Team includes experts from state agencies, Regional Fishery Management Councils, Interstate Marine Fisheries Commissions, and NOAA Fisheries. Members of the team provided input into the process for calibrating the new estimates to the historical time series and will create a framework for updating stock assessments and catch limits which is respectful of regional decision-making,
The major change during the transition will involve switching from our current Coastal Household Telephone Survey to a more comprehensive mail survey. Mail surveys do a better job of measuring recreational fishing trips by reaching a broader population (including households without landline telephones), collecting more accurate information from respondents and delivering higher response rates.
Last fall NOAA Fisheries concluded a multi-year Marine Recreational Information Program pilot project in Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, and Florida. The pilot project results indicated that more people report fishing in the mail survey than the telephone survey. This means that fishing effort is most likely greater than previously estimated. Our revised estimates reflect improvements in our ability to measure fishing effort, but do not necessarily show an actual change in fishing activity.
The current phone survey will be used to provide recreational fishing effort information for the Atlantic and Gulf coasts for science and management decision-making through 2017. When the calibration between the two surveys is complete, we will drop the phone survey and use only the mail survey for estimates of fishing trips. Stock assessments will then be updated to use the mail survey results and the recalibrated phone survey data. These new tools will be used to manage recreational fisheries.

TRENTON – Preserving open space, or preserving the salaries of state employees?
Some lawmakers say Gov. Chris Christie's administration overrode the intent of New Jersey voters by redirecting $20 million in state funds that could be used to preserve open space and instead used the money to pay public employee salaries.
Conservation-minded New Jerseyans voted in November to amend the state constitution to change the formula long used by Trenton to fund environmental programs, which receive 4 percent of the money collected in corporate taxes.
Of $113 million in environmental funds collected through the tax, almost $80 million will go toward preserving open space generally. But Christie, who opposed the referendum, wants to skim $20 million off that amount to pay salaries for about 300 park workers and use another $14 million for capital projects.
Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin said spending on salaries and capital projects was permitted as part of the stewardship of open space. Martin noted that the ballot question OK'd by voters stated the money would be used to "care for open space" and "maintain parks and fish and wildlife areas."
Nonetheless, some say the move reflects a lack of goodwill by Christie.

"It almost seems that the voter who went into the booth without having that advance knowledge, that sort of almost is almost like a bait and switch," said Assemblyman Troy Singleton, D-Burlington.
"I think if you asked the average person on the street who voted for that recently, they would not want the stewardship part to mean routine salaries and that sort of thing," said Sen. Linda Greenstein, D-Middlesex.
"Park staffing is very important, but it should be funded through the general fund as it has been in the past, leaving the $20 million for preservation projects as the voters intended," said Amy Hansen, policy analyst for the New Jersey Conservation Foundation.
The maneuver will fund roughly two-thirds of the state's parks budget and support the salaries of around 300 employees. Martin said the change is wholly appropriate.
MORE: Green groups split on open space question
"At the end of the day, that's how you operate a park," Martin said. "You got managers, you got staff, you got people, you got resources, you've got lawn mowers. You've got it all. And you've got trucks and all the rest of that. How do you operate all those things?"
Last November's ballot question, which was approved by 65 percent of voters, rearranged the programs to which a portion of corporate tax collections apply. Martin said one consequence of the constitutional amendment is that it "gutted several major programs for [the Department of Environmental Protection]" by cutting their dedicated funds and redirecting the proceeds toward open space.
For example, money dedicated for watershed management and monitoring, such as testing water quality in Barnegat Bay and monitoring shellfish waters, streams and aquifers, drops from $16 million under the old formula to $5.6 million in the coming year. The dedication for staffing cleanup of polluted sites overseen by the DEP drops from $9.6 million to zero.
The new budget puts general taxpayer funds toward those items, to make up for the losses. But the DEP isn't getting extra money, so it offsets those increases by cutting general taxpayer support for parks and shifting that cost to the corporate-tax money. That helps balance the DEP's budget, but does so by reducing the money available to buy new fields, farms or historic sites.
"We had to make some tough choices moving this money around to keep ... publicly funded cleanups alive and well. That would have killed that program essentially, crippled it dramatically," Martin said.

The formula through which corporate taxes are applied to environmental programs will change again in July 2019, when the amount of the transfer will also jump to 6 percent of all corporate tax revenue, rather than 4 percent. Not only will the amount of the dedication get larger at the point, a larger share will go toward preservation programs — 78 percent of the money, up from the current 71 percent.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT: Do you approve amending the Constitution to dedicate certain State revenues each year for environmental programs?
The Constitution now dedicates four percent of the money collected from the Corporation Business Tax to help pay for some environmental programs. This amendment raises the amount from four percent to six percent beginning on July 1, 2019.
The amendment also changes, beginning July 1, 2015, some of the programs funded by the current dedication. The new dedication would be used mostly to preserve and steward open space, farmland, historic sites, and flood-prone areas. Funds would also be used to improve water quality, remove and clean up underground tanks, and clean up polluted sites. Lastly, the amendment dedicates money received from leases and other uses of State open space lands to pay for open space, farmland, and historic preservation.
INTERPRETIVE STATEMENT: This amendment would ensure stable funding for some of the State's environmental programs.
The Constitution now dedicates four percent of the money collected from the Corporation Business Tax to help pay for some environmental programs. This amendment raises the amount from four percent to six percent beginning on July 1, 2019. It also changes the amounts allocated to some of the programs funded by the existing dedication beginning on July 1, 2015.
The money from the new dedication would be used: (1) to preserve and care for open space (Green Acres), farmland, historic sites, and flood-prone areas (Blue Acres); (2) to improve water quality; (3) to pay for polluted site cleanups; and (4) for underground tank removal and cleanup.
Lastly, the amendment requires that money received from leases and certain other uses of State-owned preserved open space be used to pay for open space, farmland, and historic preservation.
The current dedication of Corporation Business Tax revenue helps pay for water quality programs, polluted site cleanups, underground tank removal and cleanup, air pollution equipment for diesel engines, and improvements to parks.
Under the State's open space preservation programs, known as Green Acres and Blue Acres, land is bought to protect water supplies, create and maintain parks and fish and wildlife areas, and protect flood-prone areas. The Green Acres program also helps pay for improvements to parks.

NFWF and NOAA announce $1.58 million in grants from Fisheries Innovation Fund
SEAFOODNEWS.COM [SeafoodNews] May 5, 2015
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) and NOAA announced the fifth round of grant awards from its Fisheries Innovation Fund, a program launched in 2010 to support sustainable fisheries in the United States.
The goal of the Fisheries Innovation Fund is to sustain fishermen while at the same time rebuilding fish stocks. The grants announced today will aid in the design and implementation of projects that provide technical and practical support for fishing communities across the country.
"In its fifth round, the Fisheries Innovation Fund grants continue to foster innovative ideas and technologies that promote sustainable fisheries and allow communities to flourish," said Jeff Trandahl, executive director and CEO of NFWF. "Throughout the nation, the 15 grants announced today will contribute to improved wellbeing of the fishermen and the places they call home."
The 15 grants for 2015 total $1.58 million, and will be matched by over $1.3 million in additional support from the grantees. NFWF's Fisheries Innovation Fund is supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Walton Family Foundation, and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
"The Fisheries Innovation Fund supports novel techniques and solutions to improve recreational and commercial fisheries management across the U.S.," said Eileen Sobeck, Assistant Administrator for Fisheries at NOAA Fisheries. "Both commercial and recreational fishermen developed many of these projects to address the challenges and opportunities facing fishing communities today. Our public-private partnership with the Foundation is the ideal solution to support fishermen's initiatives. We congratulate the 2015 grant recipients and look forward to collaborating with project leaders as they work to support fisheries sustainability."
The 2015 Fisheries Innovation Fund grants, listed by region, can be found here.
This is the first of two announcements for the Fisheries Innovation Fund; separate awards under the Electronic Monitoring and Reporting Grant Program will be announced on June 1st.


Well, I don't know where to start on this because I don't know where it would finish or even if it could finish without writing a novel.
'It's awesome! If you finish the level quick enough then you can kill the baby when its still sleeping and upgrade your gun!" This came out of the mouth of a six-year-old child I was seeing as a counsellor. I had been called into a school to help improve the behaviour of some challenging wee ones. To give a bit of context, I'd barely sat down and asked how the week had gone so far. The game is called Duck Hunt (search duck hunt horror – if you see the red eyed dog, you have found a version) and he put an impressive amount of energy behind reenacting how to move and shoot with speed and accuracy. Now, my generation will remember that game as one where you shot ducks as they flew across the screen. Its not that one! I didn't believe what he was telling me at first, so I looked into it and quickly found what he was playing. He was right! It starts quite harmlessly as a basic shoot'em up (birds) game, before it quickly enters a room with a family all sat in a lounge. Depending on which family member you shoot will dictate which gun you upgrade to. The graphics are damned realistic too. This is just a game that this six-year-old fills a bit of time with and far from the worst he plays. The exception, absolutely not!
I am a counsellor working with kids from 5 upwards as well as the grown-up work I do. I have been doing this for over a decade and therefore believe I have a pretty fair reflection on what is going on purely from experience rather than from afar in a research paper. I have seen a direct correlation with behaviour challenges to the games used. I intentionally didn't say technology as that isn't the case at all. Demands on parents are increasing and work patterns have changed massively. On my way back from a run or the gym at about 6.30am day cares are already receiving their first drop offs.
With this increased busyness and kids that by the very fact that they are kids are a bundle of fun, energy and thirst for time and entertainment. Digital devices are gold for keeping young ones still and quiet. They are however, far from safe. Any parent will tell you noise (within reason) is the norm, but silence – that will get me jumping up to see if the boys have drawn on the wall or hand fishing in the toilet. It is kind of like that with kids and games, just because they are out of your hair for 5 mins don't start celebrating until you know for sure what they are up to.
Firstly, I am completely pro technology and certainly see its abundant benefits. Having access to information is invaluable, especially when in academic land and completing research.
This post is raising a flag on how technology is used by our kids. It's a bit of common sense really, but I get how life can result in a few blind spots.
First, have a think on what your values and beliefs are.
Explore what they may look, and sound like for you and then your kids.
Then take a look at the games that they have, regardless of age. You pick what is appropriate for your kids not the games company or censorship committees. Google the highest-ranking games in the world right now- well keep tracking back over the last 10 years- it's the same result. Every one of the top games is a shoot 'em up and the graphics are bloody realistic. Grand Theft Auto is a cracking example. Pull over, once you have evaded police, and then kill as many people as possible to get some money. You get even more money depending on how creative you are in your murder. Not to mention the rewards for killing female characters. Then ask, how does this look compared to my image of the values and beliefs I thought of earlier. What is it normalising and desensitising our children to? As an ex police officer, I have seen my fair share of the dark side, murder and violence. Maybe that's why I might be a tad 'sensitive' and 'overprotective', or maybe not.
Take a second. You are at a barbeque with some friends. You see your wee angel playing with a few other wee angels. You listen and look a bit closer. One of the other kids pretends to shoot your angel in the head with a gun whilst shouting 'take that biatch!'. In the meantime, the other kids want in on the action and pretend to kick the crap out of your little angel because they too can get some points if they inflict a bit of damage too. They then turn on one of the other kids shouting, "now you can be the police" we are gonna f.&k you up! Would you smile and nod to one of your friends and smile before sharing a "kids aye" moment? I think not.
Fortnite– the latest global phenomena game- is not unheard of by any means with many of my young and old clients.
Social media and the role in the lives of our young ones is a beast in itself that I'm sure I'll talk about at some point. When it comes to computer games, it is really simple. How does the game look compared to your own family values and beliefs? We all make our own decisions, and these are my thoughts. They are however thoughts based on working with young ones for nearly 20 years and the last 10 specifically with child and adolescent mental health. I absolutely see a direct correlation between behaviours and the types of games and amount of time spent playing them.
As parents, but as adults and a society we really need to take as much responsibility of the safety and wellbeing of our children and future when they are sat in front of screens as we do when they are not. We can't be too surprised or p'd off with the kids behaving in a way that is pretty out there. We need to step up first and then see what happens with behaviours and some very shaky wellbeing.

St. Jakob ist ein ehemaliges Kloster auf dem Donnersberg, Gemarkung Dannenfels, im Donnersbergkreis, Rheinland-Pfalz.

Geschichte
1335 übergaben die Grafen von Sponheim eine bereits bestehende, innerhalb der keltischen Ringwallanlage gelegene Jakobuskapelle dem Priester Heinrich vom Heilig-Grab-Kloster Speyer, um dort ein "echtes Kloster" vom Eremitenordens des heiligen Paulus (Pauliner) zu gründen. Dem genannten Speyerer Konvent unterstand seit 1214 die Pfarrei Kirchheimbolanden, welcher die Kapelle nun angeschlossen wurde. Das Seelbuch des späteren Klosters hält bereits für das Jahr 1323 den Tod des dortigen Eremitenfraters Conrad von Dreis(en) fest. Er lebte offenbar alleine hier, als Einsiedler. Durch eine Urkunde des Mainzer Erzbischofs Heinrich III. von Virneburg, von 1337, ist eine damals schon bestehende Wallfahrt zu der genannten Jakobskapelle auf dem Donnersberg belegt. Sowohl in der Urkunde von 1335 als auch in der von 1337 wird die Kapelle als Einsiedelei bezeichnet.

Die Pauliner erhielten Kapelle, Haus und Hofstatt mit Feld und Wald 1370, durch Graf Heinrich II. von Sponheim-Bolanden, unter Zustimmung des Priors Friedrich vom Hl. Grab Konvent Speyer (1371), und erbauten ein kleines Kloster. 1371 schenkte der Graf alle genannten Liegenschaften diesem Kloster als Seelgerät für sich, seine Gattin Adelheid, sowie für alle ihre Vorfahren und Nachkommen, mit zwei ewigen Messen als Jahrzeiten. Zwei Ablässe zugunsten des Klosterbaues, gewährt 1380 durch Kardinal Pietro Pileo di Prata, unterstützten die neue Stiftung. Von etwa 1400 bis 1418 betreute die Gemeinschaft die Marien-Wallfahrtskapelle in Fischbach bei Kaiserslautern, wo danach das Kloster Fischbach entstand. Mit Urkunde vom 4. Januar 1449 übertrug der Mainzer Generalvikar Siegfried Piscator dem Jakobskloster die Seelsorge in der St. Maria geweihten Schlosskapelle von Burg Tannenfels.

Am 7. August 1544 übergab der Pauliner-Provinzial Niklaus Zorn das inzwischen ruinöse Kloster mit allem Zubehör an den Landesherrn, Graf Johann Ludwig von Nassau-Saarbrücken. Der treu zum alten Glauben stehende Graf wollte das Kloster wieder renovieren und es sollte erneut mit 2 Konventualen besetzt werden, allerdings starb er schon im Jahr darauf. Trotzdem wurde 1546 das Klostergut in Pfeddersheim veräußert und dadurch die Renovierung finanziert. Die Pauliner kehrten nochmals für kurze Zeit auf den Donnersberg zurück.

Durch den Übertritt der Grafen zur Reformation wurde das Kloster um 1554 aufgelöst. Graf Albrecht von Nassau-Weilburg wandelte es zu einem herrschaftlichen Jagdhaus um, setzte Hofleute hinein und ließ das umliegende Feld bewirtschaften. Nach dem Dreißigjährigen Krieg wird die Liegenschaft als zerstört bezeichnet, 1670 als landwirtschaftliches Hofgut verpachtet und wieder aufgebaut. In einer Beschreibung der Herrschaft Kirchheim heißt es 1657 darüber:

1855 kaufte der bayerische Staat das Areal auf, riss die Gebäude bis auf eines ab und forstete das Gelände wieder auf. Vom Hofgut haben sich Grundmauern nahe der heutigen Gaststätte "Waldhaus" erhalten. Das Gasthaus ist der letzte Rest der Hofgebäude (Taglöhnerhäuschen) und wurde 1860 in seiner heutigen Gestalt neu erbaut. In der Gaststube sind vom alten Kloster eine gotische Sakramentsnische aus dem 14. Jahrhundert, sowie ein romanischer Zierstein und eine Bodenfliese mit Ziermuster eingemauert. Das Sakramentshaus trägt die lateinische Inschrift: "hic est ver(e) deu(s)" (Hier ist wahrhaftig Gott). Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts fand man auf dem ehemaligen Klostergelände eine emaillierte Pyxis (Hostiendose) aus der Zeit um 1200. Sie kam ins Historische Museum der Pfalz zu Speyer, ist aber seit 1945 verschollen.
