INSIGHT ARTICLE | April 20, 2017
Steve Sprenger
On Nov. 30, 2016, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) agreed to cut production by 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) for a six-month period beginning Jan. 1, 2017. Additionally, in December last year, OPEC members persuaded 11 non-OPEC countries, including Russia, Mexico and Kazakhstan, to cut 558,000 bpd of production as well, bringing the total reduction to about 1.8 million bpd.1 As intended, the agreed-upon cuts served to prop up and stabilize the price of oil. However, OPEC has limited mechanisms to guarantee continued compliance, and recent markets have demonstrated a receding confidence in OPEC's influential abilities. OPEC's powers are indeed waning, and continued efforts to reduce production will be offset by increased production from the United States and other countries.
As of March 14, 2017, oil had incurred seven straight days of declines, with West Texas Intermediate closing at $47.72–in line with Nov. 29 prices. The steep price declines were a reflection of market doubts that OPEC will extend production cuts past June, and moreover, considerable fear of another looming price war. While a number of countries, like Kuwait, have indicated a willingness to extend cuts, Khalid Al-Falih, the Saudi Arabia's energy minister warned on March 7 that (the Saudis) "will not bear the burden of free riders," a reference to the United States and other OPEC and non-OPEC countries taking advantage of buoyed prices.2
OPEC's March Monthly Oil Marketing Report (MOMR) highlighted that the OPEC Reference Basket (ORB) had risen to $53.37 a barrel by the end of February 2017; its highest price since July 2015.3 However, the same MOMR stated that commercial oil stocks are rising and that Saudi Arabia's production (based on direct communication) had increased from 9.75 million bpd in January to over 10 million bpd in February.4 This is of particular significance because Saudi Arabia, the most powerful member of OPEC and the country that led the production cut efforts, had previously cut more production than it had originally agreed upon in an attempt to maintain overall production cuts near 1.1 million bpd. Based on January data, roughly 90 percent of the production cuts had been implemented on an overall basis, but this was accomplished by Saudi Arabia overcompensating for underperformers.5 As has been the case with past cuts, a number of countries appear to be "less compliant," and it is also apparent that Saudi Arabia does not intend to continue carrying the extra weight. Further complicating matters, Nigeria, Libya and Iran have all increased production since the fourth quarter of 2016, as they are exempt from the accord.6
Similarly, Russian production averaged 11.11 million bpd in February; reflecting no further reductions since January and greatly increasing skepticism that Russia's production cut target of 300,000 bpd (relative to October 2016 production of 11.23 million bpd) will be met by April 2017.7 Russia has so far reduced output by only 40 percent of its agreed cut.8 Given Saudi Arabia's recent increase, and Russia's sluggishness, it can be expected that other non-OPEC countries that agreed to production cuts will be relaxed in their compliance going forward.
As some anticipated, the United States and other countries that are not subject to agreed-upon cuts, have increased production and are gaining market share. U.S. oil production has increased in recent months, exceeding 9.1 million bpd in early March 2017.9 U.S. rig counts are rising (at 617 compared to 316 in May 2016)10 and U.S. crude inventories are again near-record levels, regardless of the March 14 API data reflecting a draw for the week.11 According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, U.S. crude oil production averaged an estimated 8.9 million bpd in 2016 and is forecasted to average 9.2 million bpd in 2017 and 9.7 million bpd in 2018.12
OPEC's next meeting is May 25, 2017. If OPEC and certain non-OPEC countries agree to extend production cuts beyond June 30, 2017, it can be expected that prices will remain buoyed, and U.S. shale producers will continue increasing production to fill the gap. "It became evident that U.S. shale oil output has become and will remain a new global oil price regulator for the foreseeable future," Russian oil major Rosneft said on March 13.13 Break-even prices have dropped significantly in the United States over the past few years and are now averaging $30 to $40 per barrel, depending upon the play, assuming a 10 percent discount rate.14 Other sources list these breakevens of $35 to $45 per barrel, but regardless of the source, the estimated U.S. breakevens are roughly half of what they were just a few years ago.
Some of the decreases in breakevens can be attributed to improvements in technology (e.g., larger pad drilling, longer horizontals and improved completion techniques) which are resulting in higher initial production (IP) rates and improved estimated ultimate recovery (EUR). However, lower fees paid to oilfield service and equipment (OFSE) firms have played a significant role as well. As a result of weakened demand and heavy competition over the past two to three years, many OFSE companies accepted unsustainable, and at times negative, margins in order to stay in business. Prior to the March price slide, industry experts expected OFSE cost inflation in the realm of 10 to 15 percent over the next year or so.15 This will serve to modestly increase break-even pricing for a number of U.S. plays, but we can still expect increased U.S. shale production and further improvements in technology.
OPEC's options are limited and its power is clearly diminishing. Its previous effort to knock out the United States has failed and U.S. production will likely continue its advance. If OPEC chooses to increase production, it will further depress oil prices and again make some plays less viable; however, the United States has demonstrated considerable resilience. OPEC members are also victims of their own fiscal budgets, for which oil is a primary revenue source; they have their own breakevens, and they are typically much higher than those of U.S. shale.

At the 2015 RLI Summit, radiologists gathered to learn from some of the business industry's best.
August 6–9, 2015, marked another landmark collaboration between one of the nation's top business schools, Babson College, and the Radiology Leadership Institute® (RLI).
The fourth annual RLI Summit connected attendees with thought leaders in the private, government, and academic radiology sectors for four days of intensive discussions. Topics ranged from marketing to strategic planning to negotiation.
Some of the most intense discussions, however, occurred outside the classroom setting, where topics were discussed and strategies considered. For example, we discussed the implications of IBM's recent acquisition of Merge Healthcare and explored whether the programming of the Watson supercomputer will be a good or bad development for radiology? One school of thought among attendees was that Watson is infringing on our place in patient care. Others believed that, with the numbers and complexity of imaging increasing, Watson may be able to assist us with the less complex studies, allowing radiologists more time to spend on the complex studies. This potential collaboration may also provide us with more time to spend with our patients, a goal of the Imaging 3.0™ initiative.
We also had the opportunity to learn about the challenges our radiology colleagues are facing. Michael S. Webb Jr., MD, president of Mountain Medical Physician Specialists, shared with us his practice's struggle to remain independent as Intermountain Healthcare sought to employ the practice. This case was fought all the way to the Utah legislature. Ultimately, Webb's practice saw success. Strategic planning and fortunate timing (which included, among other things, the timely arrival of a new CEO), helped this radiology group retained its independence.
Syed F. Zaidi, MD, president of Radiology Associates of Canton, and CEO of RadHelp, LLC, shared his successful experience with co-management and radiology population-management strategies at his institution. Samir B. Patel, MD, director of the value management program at Radiology Inc., taught us how to develop a value-added matrix for our radiology departments that has demonstrated value to his referring physicians and C-suite administrators. Patel's efforts resulted in an invitation to serve on the board of directors of his hospital.
The summit may be over for 2015, but RLI programs continue. We have exciting events happening, including the inauguration of the Level 2 Leadership Accelerator Series, which began September 1, 2015. The Level 2 Leadership Accelerator series is an innovative 12-week online collaborative program that will rapidly accelerate a radiology leader's knowledge in the critical issues required to succeed in today's increasingly complex health care system. The very popular Harvard Emerging Leaders Seminar continues in 2016, and the RLI Summit 2016 is returning to Babson College September 8–11, 2016. Check out the RLI's website to learn more.
1) Scenario planning should be used to think about radiology's future, but we should focus on what might happen in the future rather than what we would like to create.
3) One should be able to clearly define the objective, scope and advantage of a radiology practice's strategy. If it is not unique to the practice, it is not a good strategy.
4) Resonant leaders are the best leaders, and an emotionally intelligent leader can improve the results in their organization by an order of magnitude.
5) Superior negotiation is the art of getting the other side to choose what you want for their own reasons.


Should first home buyers access superannuation to pay for a house deposit?
Independent Senator for South Australia, Nick Xenophon thinks so, stating he will introduce legislative changes to parliament urging for first home buyers to be able to access super to pay for a house deposit.
The idea is inspired by a scheme that ran successfully in Canada, dubbed Home Buyers' Plan, which allows first home buyers to redraw up to $25,000 from a "registered retirement savings plan" for a first home deposit but the amount has to be paid back into the super fund within 15 years.
Mozo advises first home buyers to create a budget and a clear savings plan to build up your first home deposit - you can try Mozo's savings goal calculator here. If you've already saved the required deposit, make sure you compare the home loan market to find the right mortgage with the features you need.
The Housing Industry Association said the idea warranted close consideration, as superannuation contributions are designed to support Aussies in retirement and owning a home delivers the same result, but with the added benefits arising from homeownership.
"By enabling access to a portion of their superannuation savings, many aspirational first home buyers would be able to accumulate a deposit, secure home ownership sooner and redirect their rental payments to their own future financial security," Wolfe added.

OKEECHOBEE — The Tenth Annual Okeechobee Blood Roundup is over. Despite a nasty cold front pushing down on it, the Roundup still was able to draw a total of 342 units of blood. While an average mobile visit yields 15 to 20 units, that means The Roundup was a stunning success.
Marie Kirchhoff, who is in charge of prize distribution, with Dan the Blood Man and Roundup Chairman Raye Deusinger.
Due to a different counting system, recently employed, that might not sound as high as was done in the past. However, the Roundup stopped counting numbers several years ago and is happy to know that Okeechobee's population will be in good shape through the holidays.
The Roundup received so many wonderful gifts, they were able to award 14 Grand Prizes. Winners are: Jessie McKinney, winner of the Corn Hole Game; Aladin Sherwood, winner of the Internet Services Gift Card; Ralph Coile, winner of the OK Corral Membership; Rosa Carpio, winner of the Myers Notary Services; Mary Sweis, winner of the Just 4 Bass Fishing Trip; Edward Lauth, winner of the Florida Trophy Gator certificate.
Amos McDaniel won the Dell Monitor; Marilyn Rinear won the painting by Fawn Barr; John Fertitta won the stay at KOA; Dixie Hallett won the fishing trip from Okeechobee Charters; Steven Pinder won the Costopoulos and Helton Certificate; Linda Harper won the quilt from the Tantie Quilters; John Bosley won the stay at Seminole Inn and Susan Blackburn won the gift basket from Okeechobee Veterinary.
Congratulations also, to the winners of the more than 200 prizes given by local businesses, companies and individuals and Okeechobee restaurants who provided food to feed all the workers.
One Blood's Dan the Blood Man helped hand out some of the more than 200 prizes.
As the largest and longest running independent blood drive in Florida, The Blood Roundup celebrates its 10th year of service to Okeechobee by increasing the total number of units drawn to 4,504 units of blood.


We were delighted to welcome the First Minister of Northern Ireland, Mrs Arlene Foster on the 15th June Mrs Foster presented the school with a replica billboard of Roy Carroll. She visited each classroom, taking time to talk to the children and staff. She finished her visit joining all the staff and pupils in the assembly hall, where the whole school sang their song for the N.I. football team, "Going for Goal". Mrs Foster even joined in! A great day for Lisbellaw Primary School!

Countdown to Tip-Off | 19 Days
The Thunder GuysOctober 7, 2016 No Comments
Russell Westbrook has spent his entire NBA career in Oklahoma City after being drafted in the Thunder's first season, and in the last eight years, he has put up a number of ridiculous stat lines. Russ has been a contributor since his rookie year, but he has not always been as smart with the ball as he is now. Early in his career, he was labeled as a "ball hog," but take a look at his current averages, and he is far from that.
This last season Russell Westbrook set the franchise record for the Thunder for assists in a single game with 19 in a 120-108 win at home against the L.A. Clippers on March 9. Westbrook also shot an efficient 9/15 from the floor for 25 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to complete one of the most impressive triple-doubles in history.
Westbrook finished the 2015-16 season averaging 10.4 assists per game, bringing his career average to 7.6 assists per game. Russ finished second in the league in APG, ahead of guys like John Wall, Chris Paul, Ricky Rubio, James Harden, Damian Lillard, and Steph Curry. Westbrook's season average was no surprise as he managed double-digit assists in 49 of his 80 games that he played in.
Russell Westbrook is still very much maturing and learning to polish his overall game of basketball, but there is no longer a case to be made when claiming him as a "ball hog." Russ is without a doubt one of the most dynamic scorers in the league, but his ability to share the ball and put his teammates in scoring position is outstanding. Oklahoma City fans can look forward to another season of outrageous stat lines as Westbrook is the inexplicable leader of this Thunder squad.

Covid Scotland: cancellation of vaccine contract a 'shock' for Valneva
The UK Government's decision to terminate its contract with vaccine supplier Valneva came as a "shock" to the company, an MP has warned.
By Jane Bradley
Monday, 13th September 2021, 11:40 am
Updated Monday, 13th September 2021, 6:42 pm
The UK Government has scrapped its agreement with the French pharmaceutical company, which has a major vaccine plant in Livingston, just months after increasing its order for doses by 40 million.
The cancellation comes amid allegations of a breach of the agreement, which Valneva says it "strenuously" denies.

Livingston MP Hannah Bardell said the announcement came out of the blue for Valneva, which is undergoing a major site expansion in Scotland.

It is understood the dispute could be connected to logistics and delivery schedules, linked to a shortage of manufacturing materials and HGV drivers due to Brexit. Building projects across the UK have been blighted by a shortage of building materials over recent months.
It was announced in August the vaccine agreement had led to the creation of 200 extra jobs at the Livingston site, potentially leaving them under threat as a result of the announcement.
Ms Bardell said she was writing to the UK Government to call for them to honour the deal with Valneva.
She said: "It is devastating and there are a lot of questions to be answered as to how this decision has been made. It seems to be a massive surprise and significant shock to the company. What message does that send to other companies which want to invest?"
Ms Bardell said the vaccine that Valneva was developing could be easily transported and stored, making it easy to use in countries which have not yet managed a widespread vaccine roll out programme.
She said: "I am going to press the UK Government. If this thwarts the creation of the vaccine, that would be a travesty. Hopefully the UK Government sees sense and Valneva still get the resource and the funding they were promised."
The Scottish Government has reassured the public the booster shot roll-out planned for this winter will not be affected by the cancellation of the contract with Valneva.
Health secretary Humza Yousaf said the Scottish Government would work with the company to ensure the future of Valneva's UK base in Livingston.
What is the Valneva vaccine? Is it made in Livingston? Why has the UK Government...
Around 100 million doses of the company's vaccine, which is the only vaccine in trials which uses the whole virus in an inactivated, adjuvanted state, were put on order after the UK increased its request by 40 million in February. Valneva, which has around 700 employees worldwide, recently advertised for 200 new jobs at its Livingston plant.
The 100 million doses on order put Valneva at the top of the UK Government's table in terms of vaccine supplies, alongside the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab.
Scottish Labour's health and Covid recovery spokesperson Jackie Baillie said: "This decision raises a number of questions that need to be answered. Both the UK and the Scottish Government must provide assurances that the jobs at the Livingston plant manufacturing Valneva aren't on the line, and that vaccine supplies will still be able to keep up with demand."
In a statement, Valneva said: "Valneva has worked tirelessly and to its best efforts on the collaboration with HMG, including investing significant resources and effort to respond to HMG's requests for variant-derived vaccines.
"Valneva continues to be committed to the development of VLA2001 and will increase its efforts with other potential customers to ensure that its inactivated vaccine can be used in the fight against the pandemic."
A Scottish Government spokesperson said: "Valneva is a valued contributor to our life sciences sector and the Livingston facility is an important asset, supporting high-quality jobs.
"We will continue to engage with and support the company. We will also engage with the UK Government to seek its assurance that the facility will be supported in order to protect jobs.
"The contract and the decision to cancel it is a matter for the UK Government. The announcement does not affect the Scottish Government's vaccination programme, which we continue to roll out as guided by advice from the JCVI, and we have sufficient vaccine supplies to undertake any potential booster programme over the coming months."
Scottish Liberal Democrat health spokesperson Alex Cole-Hamilton said: "This is obviously a disappointing setback for the Livingston plant. People will be understandably curious as to the source of the dispute between Valneva and the UK Government, which has led to this contract being cancelled.
"Both the Scottish and UK governments will need to give reassurances that we have plentiful vaccine supply secured and whether this will have an impact on our international commitments in terms of supplying vaccines around the world."
The vaccine is in phase three clinical trials, but Valneva said it hoped it could be ready for approval by the end of this year.

FBI Broke Ranks – Reopens Clinton's Email Scandal, Dragging Lesbian Lover Huma Abedin
By now it doesn't matter if Hillary Clinton wins the 2016 Presidential Election on November 8. United States of America would be laughed, shamed and mocked by the rest of the world. The U.S.' allies, ranging from heavyweight Saudi Arabia to small fry Malaysia, let alone bitter enemies Russia and Iran, would have very little respect for Americans.
One thing nice about the U.S. is that despite a political cover-up by FBI Director James Comey for Democrats presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, he does not possess "dictator-like" absolute power to close a scandal indefinitely. If there's new evidence and other FBI officers have started rebelling, not even the FBI Director himself can sweep it under the carpet.
In July, FBI Director James Comey announced that the FBI will not recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for her use of email while serving as Secretary of State. The FBI director merely remarked that Clinton was "extremely careless" in storing classified information on her private email server – a slap on the wrist and the case was closed.
In what appeared to be a conspiracy among President Barack Obama, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch and FBI Director James Comey (who was appointed by Obama) to protect Hillary Clinton, people were outraged that Clinton was allowed to walk away scot free. Later, Lynch was caught having a private meeting with Bill Clinton at Phoenix Airport.
When grilled, A.G. Lynch conveniently rubbished accusation of her covering up for Hillary Clinton and insisted the meeting was innocent – that both she and Bill were merely talking about grandchildren and golf. But karma is a bitch. Just when Barack Obama and Michelle Obama took turns hugging and stroking Hillary Clinton as if she has won the presidency, KABOOM!
Hillary Clinton's email scandal enters its second episode. Accompanied by a battalion of reporters, Hillary was on her campaign plane to campaign in Iowa, unaware that FBI Director James Comey was making a surprise announcement Friday that the agency was "reopening the case" and would once again be examining emails related to Clinton's time as Secretary of State.
In an unprecedented move not seen before, James Comey released a memo to his agents explaining his decision to reopen the criminal investigation against Hillary Clinton, suggesting that the FBI Director could be trying very hard to pacify frustrated and rebellious agents who were angered by his cover-up back in July.
The memo was sent just after Comey told eight Democratic leaders and eight Republican leaders on Capitol Hill about his decision to link the emails found during an investigation of disgraced former New York congressman Anthony Weiner. Mr Weiner's wife was Huma Abedin who happens to be Hillary Clinton's most trusted aide and top advisor.
Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta called it "extraordinary that we would see something like this just 11 days out from a presidential election." But the newly found emails, numbering more than 1,000, which were found on a computer used by both Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin, was too significant to be ignored, bulldozed or covered up.
Apparently, Anthony Weiner is being investigated over allegations that he sent sexually explicit text messages and lewd photos to a 15-year-old girl, in the knowledge that she was still at school. Prosecutors in North Carolina, where the teenager lives, and in New York, where 52-year-old Mr Weiner is based, have opened inquiries into the sexting scandal.
So, what's so disastrous about Weiner's fetish for sexting on social media? After all, he had resigned as congressman and is in the process of separation from wife Huma Abedin. The problem is Weiner has close proximity and access to highly classified information and his reported separation only happened last month.
The spotlight was actually on Huma Abedin, not Anthony Weiner. If Ms. Abedin hadn't been so close to Clinton, the red flag of "national security risk" would not have been raised. But 40-year-old Huma Abedin has been Mrs. Clinton's side since she was an intern to the then-First Lady in 1996 – when she was 19 years old.
In fact, Huma Abedin's proximity to Hillary Clinton was such a legend that both individuals were rumoured to be lovers. Naughty speculations would rather believe Abedin is Clinton's secret lesbian lover more than anything else. Both were so closed that it is believed that if Hillary Clinton becomes the next President of the U.S., then Huma Abedin will become the Chief of Staff.
Bill Clinton allegedly knew about his wife being bisexual but the former president didn't care. That was what led then-President Bill Clinton into the infamous sex scandal where he was given blow jobs by a 22-year-old White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. And Hillary actually wasn't really upset about the affair at all – until its discovery by the media.
Heck, Bill and Hillary Clinton's relationship was so extraordinary that Bill initially didn't find out about his wife becoming pregnant and had to learn that fact from a newspaper. That was because rumours have it that Bill – who later admitted to numerous affairs with Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky and other women – was NOT in fact the biological father of Chelsea Clinton.
Back in 2004, a Washington Times columnist reviewing Bill Clinton's memoir "My Life" concluded that Hillary and Bill – "have had a pact for decades. Their sexy, sexy pact is this: He gets to fool around with women and she gets to fool around with women (plus the occasional man) … yes, she's bisexual."
Inseparable, Huma Abedin and Hillary Clinton have spent more time together than either has with her husband. Abedin was described as "Clinton's external hard drive," And when it comes to Clinton's complicated web of relationships with donors, elected officials, union members and long-time supporters, Abedin is where all of that information is stored.
When Hillary flew to Chicago to meet with President-Elect Barack Obama in November 2008 to discuss becoming Secretary of State, she took Huma along. During Hillary's gruelling, nearly 11-hour congressional testimony in October about Benghazi, Abedin was there. Whoever wants to curry favour with Hillary has to go through Abedin, as thousands of recently released e-mails show.
Born in Michigan in 1976, Abedin spent her childhood in Saudi Arabia, where her Pakistani mother and Indian father were academics. She returned to the US at the age of 18 to study at George Washington University in Washington DC and began her White House internship a year later. Her father founded the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs, with the backing of Abdullah Omar Nasseef.
Abdullah Omar Nasseef is a high-ranking insider in the Saudi government and sits on the king's Shura Council, and was rumoured to having ties to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda previously. As a Muslim whose family members were closed to Abdullah Omar Nasseef, some have suggested she might be a "sleeper" for the Muslim Brotherhood.
Therefore, Huma Abedin has been accused as a "Saudi asset", a spy who has successfully infiltrated the highest office of the United States. That probably explains why both President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton refuse to use the 3-magic words – radical Islamic terrorist – on Omar Mateen who killed 49 people and wounded 53 others in the Orlando nightclub shooting.
Not only Clinton campaign but A.G. Lynch and Obama administration were caught off guard with the latest bombshell dropped by the FBI. Lynch has earlier expressed her preference that Comey follows the Department of Justice's longstanding practice of not commenting on ongoing investigations, and not taking any action that could influence the outcome of an election.
But why Comey suddenly went against Lynch? Clearly, his investigating agents must have discovered very damaging new emails shared by Abedin with her husband's computer. He was afraid and desperate that if he doesn't make it public until after the election he'll be impeached. To protect himself, he was smart enough to tell all and sundry – the Congress, his own FBI and the public.
More importantly, the notorious WikiLeaks might have the classified emails too and is waiting for the right moment to publish them. Hence the pre-emptive strategy of re-opening the email investigation rather than wait for the WikiLeaks to steal the thunder. Hillary Clinton should stop bitching about FBI's conspiracy when she had praised the agency for not charging her in July.
From being Clinton's most precious asset, Abedin has now become her worst nightmare. Thanks to both individuals, the U.S. makes new history – the first time a presidential candidate is investigated by FBI – TWICE. Guess who's having a second round of good laugh – none other than Russia President Vladimir Putin.

I will do a few honeymoon posts and then when I get my wedding pictures back I will do a wedding day post! Okie dokie sounds good so lets get into the honeymoon trip story!
After a solid 36 hours of being Mr. and Mrs. Holm we were in an airport waiting for our connecting flight to Denver. I was really looking forward to flying again, yet still hadn't eaten anything since lunch the previous day, needless to say caused me to feel pretty crumby. Everything went so smoothly with traveling and lay overs and delayed flights that I really have nothing to tell! I got my first ever look at the ocean from an airplane taking off from LAX. SO BEAUTIFUL! Love to look at the ocean! We took off from Winnipeg around 9 am CST and we landed in Kailua Kona at around 8 pm HST. Don't be fooled though, it was a long day with three connecting flights and the longest layover only being 4 hours… we travel about 36 hours. We were so tired when we landed in the beautiful open air Kona airport that I almost didn't notice that there really wasn't a roof to the airport, and that we were walking outside to baggage claim.
After a taxi ride with a taxi driver who just could NOT understand why we would get a AirBnB when there were so many nice resorts, and was a fairly aggressive driver, we made it to our home for the next ten days. The adorable basement suit in a suburb of Kona over looking the Kona airport. To tired to really notice anything we dropped into bed. We were awakened the next morning to probably four or five barking dogs, which turned out to be a daily occurrence. We got ready for the day and realized we had 4 eggs and we also didn't have transportation. Jeffrey figured out a rental car and we urbered to pick it up. Definitely felt very adultish getting taxis and Ubers and rental cars (which side note, its not easy to find rental companies that will rent out cars to anyone under 25 so we went to a one on one car rental app were we actually rented someones car. I am pretty sue we avoided some paper work. 100% props to Jeffrey for finding that app).
We picked up our car and went to Target!! Oh how I missed Target my friend! We got groceries to last us the next while and save us money on eating out all the time. It was so nice actually just having meals at our little house, we didn't have to pick places to eat or through out a bunch of money we didn't have, and we really just enjoyed being together and completely relaxing.

SnackDom: Delivering sweets to your door
By Maëlle Vanrell -
Photograph: Rafael Capalbo
On Wednesday, week 2, Dominic, an 18-year-old Computer Science and Maths student, decided to start a new business on campus that offers a sweets/snacks delivery service. Dominic came up with the idea, which he calls SnackDom, after thinking about the traditional (and unofficial) sweets trade he used to enjoy in secondary school. He decided to re-visit this at uni by combining this experience with his expertise in web design and the wish to create his own business.
SnackDom has its own webpage, where you are allowed to pick and mix within a range of different sweets, which will then be delivered to you wherever you are on campus during the evenings and on late nights during the weekends. There is no limit to Dominic's expectations with this project; as he puts it, 'There is no place I want to stop; I want to keep expanding this project to wherever it takes me.' There could be possible affiliations with other universities around the UK, as he already has a potential base in his hometown, provided by his family in Essex. He has proved himself to be a very independent, enthusiastic individual who does not seem to fear new opportunities and is willing to fulfil his initiatives.
As a fresher living on campus, he manages to move around quickly, making the estimated delivery time usually under thirty minutes. Even though Dominic waits for a certain number of orders to come in before he delivers the snacks, he still aims to get everyone's delivery to them from County, where he resides, and many students have already used his service find him very efficient.
In fact, as some students may have already spotted him, as he even gave away fliers and free sweets around campus during the first day. Anyone can find his official Facebook page and Twitter account by searching for SnackDom.
SnackDom may just be in its beginnings, but it has so far gone from around six deliveries a day at the start, to twenty a day at the present time. If you're struggling during a long study session in the library or preparing for pre-drinks and just need something a little extra, you might consider ordering your favourite pick-n-mix snacks and having them delivered to your door! Simply search for the website, order your favourite sweets, and prepare some cash for when SnackDom arrives with your order.

This is the transcript of Naushad's Jaimala Program aired on Radio many years back. It is written by Sami Mohammed.
Today, July 31, is the death anniversary of one the best singers (the best, acc. to me) ever produced by the Indian film industry: MOHAMMED RAFI. It's been 14 years since Rafi Sahab left us, and yet his songs are as popular as they ever were during his lifetime.
As a tribute to my favourite singer, I am posting the typewritten version of a special Jaimala program presented by the Shehanshah-e-Mausiqui, Naushad Sahab, in the memory of Mohammed Rafi.
Jaimala is a popular Vividh Bharati program for "Fauji Bhai"s and the Vishesh Jaimala used to be presented by a famous (usually film) personality.
Although Rafi Sahab sang under the baton of almost all music directors of the Hindi film industry, his association with Naushad was special. Naushad was instrumental in grooming this highly talented singer, although he modestly says that he "merely showed Rafi the right direction".
Here's the special Jaimala program which I have translated into English from the original Urdu version. The beauty of Naushad's refined Urdu is certainly lost in the translation, but I hope you will enjoy reading what the legendary music director has to say regarding Mohammed Rafi, the singer and the person. Portions which cud not be translated properly have been left in the original language. All errors in translation are mine.
It was recommended that this young man, who possesses a beautiful voice, be given a chance to sing. I heard the young man sing a song or two and was highly impressed. I told him that one day he would become a great singer and asked him to keep in touch. During the initial stages, I let the young man be a part of a chorus, and I think one such chorus Hindustan ke hum hain, Hindustan humara…. might still be embedded in your memories. Later, in the film Dillagi, I had the opportunity to use his voice exclusively in a solo. As if it were predestined, this song became immensely popular throughout the country. This was my first song (solo) with him. With this song, Rafi Sahab not only carved a niche for himself, but also added a new dimension to my music.
Insaaf ka mandir hai ye, Bhagwan ka ghar hai…..
Apni aazaadi ko hum hargiz mita sakte nahin Sar kata sakte hain lekin, sar jhuka sakte nahin Apni aazaadi ko hum hargiz mita sakte nahin…..
Main TooTi hui ek nayya hun, mujhe chahe jidhar le jaao Ji chaahe dubodo maujon me, ya saahil par le jaao Main TooTi hui ek nayya hun, mujhe chahe jidhar le jaao..
Har dil me bhaRakta hua woh saaz hai baaqui Woh jism nahin hai magar aawaaz hai baaqui !!
Swargeeya gayak Mohammed Rafi ki yaad me, aaj ka vishesh Jaimala prastut kar rahe the, film jagat ke suprassidh sangeetkaar, Naushad.

Home > LGBTQ News > Pride month began with a week of riots at the Stonewall Inn
Posted on June 24, 2020 by HLEC Staff
A little more than a half century ago, a group of patrons at a New York bar decided they'd enough and ended up launching a campaign that became known as the Gay Rights Movement.
It's why June is called Pride Month.
It might be hard to believe today, but there was a time in this country when people weren't as forthcoming about their sexual orientation or sexual identity. But that didn't keep them from coming together in safe spaces. One place was the Stonewall Inn, a "private" (which means a bouncer guarded the establishment) gay club owned by "Fat Tony" Lauria, a member of the Mafia, located in Greenwich Village. At the time, it was one of the largest gay clubs in the U.S. and it allowed attendees to dance together. There was a cover charge to get in, and people often used fake names when they signed the register.
LGBTQ people went to the Stonewall Inn, no matter their race, age, orientation or identity. It was illegal to serve alcohol in "disorderly" environments, and police considered LGBTQ people disorderly. Patrons and managers were usually arrested, therefore, management of these types of establishments would bribe officers, Mafia members and state liquor authority officials for advance warnings of when the raids were coming. That allowed employees to warn the patrons by turning on the lights in the establishment so people would stop dancing together or stand real close. They would stand at a friendly distance to be seen as friends and nothing more because the something more usually led to arrests.
And even though Stonewall Inn management paid off law enforcement, undercover officers entered the establishment on June 28, 1969 for a raid. The lights flashed telling customers five officers had entered the bar to join their four undercover colleagues. But the patrol wagon used to transport arrested people and confiscated alcohol took longer to get to Stonewall than expected. That extra time allowed a crowd of patrons and onlookers to grow outside. Reports say punches were thrown by transgender women and lesbians, which contributed to the rise of the mob.
Police officers hid inside the bar for 45 minutes and watched as the crowd grew and so did the first night of riots. A fire department and a riot squad were needed to alleviate the mob that ballooned to around 550 people.
In all the Stonewall Riots lasted six nights with patrons fighting back. The two most intense nights were the first and the last with businesses being looted on night No. 6. On the second night, 2,000 protestors had gathered and each night thereafter brought at least 500 to 1,000 people.
It's meaningful to know that while the Stonewall Riots are an important moment, it wasn't the only one for the Gay Rights Movement. But the Stonewall Riots are considered the turning point. Since 1950, other LGBTQ groups formed to address vitally important points such as employment, sharing a home with a same-sex spouse or partner, and everyday happenings that some may take for granted today. Also note the Gay Rights Movement coincided with other civil unrest in the U.S. such as the Civil Rights movement, second-wave feminism, and protests against the Vietnam War.
But the Stonewall Riots are why people organized and obtained a parade permit to commemorate the event in 1970 and every year after that. Media coverage of Stonewall also prompted LGBTQ members and entities in other U.S. cities to have their own parades. And they continue today with LGBTQ members proudly displaying their Pride with their own unique style, flags and other accessories that show how fabulous the community truly is.
Without the Stonewall Riots, other important LGBTQ events may not have happened in this country such as the Supreme Court rulings that
* American laws prohibiting private homosexual activity between consisting adults are unconstitutional (Lawrence v. Texas, 2003).
* the right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples (Obergefell vs. Hodges, 2015).
* the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects LGBTQ employees from discrimination based on sex (June 15, 2020).
These pioneers have made it possible for LGBTQ Americans to truly live and dream of the lives they want with the spouses, homes and memorable moments others enjoy without thinking twice about them.
They are why we can say Happy Pride Month y'all!

While flooding is easy to spot, water damage, mold, lead and asbestos contamination may not be visible to the eye. Yet their effects can linger months, especially after an extreme weather event. What's concerning is the potential health hazard they cause.
Home and business owners should also be on alert for structural and interior damage that could release dangerous toxins like asbestos and lead.
To be safe, have your home or place of business tested at the first sign – or whiff – of a problem. Contact an independent environmental inspector who will know exactly what to look for, and what environmental hazards are present after extreme weather.
To talk to a professional at RTK Environmental or to schedule a test today, call (800) 392-6468 or visit RTK Environmental online.

Director of the system wide University of California Humanities Research Institute. He is a Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature, Anthropology, and Criminology, Law and Society at UC Irvine. His numerous books include Are We All Postracial Yet? (Polity, 2015), and Dread: Facing Futureless Futures (Polity, July 2021). Earlier in his career, he produced independent films and music videos (some of which aired on MTV), and co-directed an award-winning short film on South Africa, "The Is/land".
Are we in a collective state of social dread? Is dread a driving social sensibility of our time? Since Kierkegaard's largely overlooked essay on dread, and Freud's later work on anxiety, very little has been written directly on the concept of dread. What does the sensibility of dread amount to, and how does it differ from fear? If dread has become a pervasive social sensibility, what are the factors giving rise to and driving it? And what are the politics likely to follow from social states of dread, their implications, and how might they be faced? The talk and discussion will address these questions, in the interest of laying out a social theory of dread today.

Description : Here we have an original DAZN closed circuit boxing fight poster for the WBA world super middleweight championship title bout held at Madison Square Garden, New York, USA, 15th December 2018.
Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez knocked Rocky Fielding down 4 times in an emphatic 3 round stoppage win. Alvarez, 28, was heavy favourite and brutal left hands to the body dropped his rival in rounds one and two, all but ending hope of an unlikely upset. A stinging right to the jaw again downed Fielding in round three, before another left connected with the body, prompting the bout to be waved off.
Alvarez now holds a minor version of the WBA world super-middleweight title. Despite the status of the WBA's 'regular' title compared to the 'super' title Britain's Callum Smith holds in the same division, Alvarez can now boast being a world champion in three weight divisions. He still holds the WBC and WBA titles at middleweight, a division lower, and his move up 8lb only ever looked like ending in victory as he broke Fielding's heart early on with a savage display of body punching.

Springfield RICO Information
RICO, an acronym for a federal anti-racketeering act, intends to stop illegal businesses engaging in fraudulent schemes and enterprises. These include extortion, money laundering, drug offenses, murder, kidnapping, counterfeiting, embezzlement, and many other serious crimes. Some states also have similar anti-racketeering laws.
Are You Charged with a RICO offense?
If you are facing charges for a RICO crime it is imperative that you immediately hire a Springfield criminal defense lawyer who handles RICO cases. These cases can be extremely complex involving an array of legal issues. Your RICO lawyer will challenge the government's evidence, aggressively defend you, and may be able to negotiate a plea if you choose.
What to Expect from an Initial Consultation
Seek to determine whether the attorney can represent you. There is no one-size-fits-all legal solution and it may turn out your needs are better served by an attorney in a different specialization.
It's important to find a legal ally who is both competent in the law and someone you can trust to protect your interests.
Discuss how the practice's billing works and discuss possible additional charges or fees that may arise during or after the resolution of your case.
An attorney consultation should provide you with enough information so that you can make an informed decision on whether to proceed with legal help.
Tips on Hiring an Experienced Lawyer with RICO Cases
The more experienced a lawyer is in legal practice, the more likely he/she will be able to bring about a successful resolution to your issue. Since experience matters, lawyers who've been practicing law for many years (with a successful track record) tend to be in high demand. You should look for information about a lawyer's experience and ask questions during the initial meeting. It's a very good idea to ask the lawyer how many years he/she has been practicing law and the expected outcome of your case.

So I have been decorating the Sunken palace and Wizard's Tower. The sunken palace I can show you what I have done so far Image above shows a full view of the first area of this beautiful house. In which I made a few smaller areas like the radio sitting area, it's still a work in progress. Here is a image of a bird cage stand i came up with by using a tree lantern.
I have also made some water mole bowl planters, yeah you know those very big water mole bowls from Celestia I have made them look pretty good in my eyes. Here are the steps on how to make a water mole planter.
1. You will need 3 small blue trimmed rugs , tic tac toe board, 2 crates , and both the water mole bowl and a helephant ear plant.
2. Here is a Basic Floating Guide . After you learn basic floating you will be able to float just about anything on top of this board. Lets place our helephant ear plant on top, now only pick up the rug. This will only leave the plants floating.
3. Take your water mole bowl and place under the plant, (be careful once you set it you wont be able to move it again). Once in the right spot you can now move your planter any where you like, just make sue you are only moving the bowl not the plant itself.
I have also been working on the sunken ship but nothing I want to show yet, eh? its a work in progress. ;) I also bought the Wizard's Tower. This house has become part of a bigger plan I very big giant maze of haunted fun which includes; 13 teleporters, 1 dorm, 3 houses and many many fun things. The houses are done but adding plant effects and sound effects to give that haunted feel. I'll post a image of a sneak peek below. So until next time, happy house decorating.
I've been waiting for you to talk about this house. I have it also, and knew you would have some interesting ideas for it. I was reluctant to purchase it because of limits with placing stuff inside, (because of all the water). I'm going to "keep my eye" on your page, Paige, hoping for special effects. Thanks for all you do.
I will be adding more as I go through it more.
will we be able to explore this maze?
That last picture was really awesome. Where is that?
Thank you, that picture was taken in a dorm room.

Posted: Wed Feb 25, 2009 3:06 pm Post subject: OBG 335 without serial..Why?
I have found one OBG 335 model with no serial on the back of the headstock..is possible?
I have many orville and OBG and ALL have serial.
I've seen quite a few Orville by Gibson and Orville Semi Acoustics without headstock serial numbers.
Terada sometimes left the headstock serial numbers off.
Terada had a sometimes erratic serial numbering system.
Sometimes the Terada made Semi Acoustics have headstock serial numbers and sometimes not and Terada left the headstock serial numbers off the K Orvilles as well.
The Semi Acoustics serial number is still on the label inside the body.
Is the serial on a sticker inside the body?
For the OBG and Orville Semi Acoustics and OBG Acoustics, Yes the serial is on a sticker inside the body.
Sometimes the serial is not on the back of the headstock.
All OBG's and Orvilles have serial numbers, either on a sticker or ink stamped because the Yamano warranty that came with all new OBG's and Orvilles had the guitars serial number printed on it.

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) is a digestive condition that occurs when the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) is compressed between two arteries (the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery). This compression causes partial or complete blockage of the duodenum. Signs and symptoms may include abdominal fullness; bloating after meals; nausea and vomiting; and abdominal cramping that may be helped by lying in certain positions. A variety of factors may contribute to SMAS, including prolonged bed rest, weight loss, rapid growth, previous abdominal surgery, lordosis, use of body casts, and loss of tone in abdominal muscles. It may also occur with pancreatitis, peptic ulcers, and other inflammatory abdominal conditions. Treatment may include addressing the underlying cause and/or dietary modifications (small feedings or a liquid diet).
Frederick Merrill Karrer, MD. Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome Clinical Presentation. Medscape Reference. October 2014; http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/932220-overview.
What are the signs and symptoms of superior mesenteric artery syndrome?
Mid-abdominal "crampy" pain that may be relieved by the prone or knee-chest position.
What causes superior mesenteric artery syndrome?
SMAS has also been reported to occur in some people with pancreatitis, peptic ulcers, and other inflammatory conditions of the abdomen. Rarely, the condition may be caused by an abnormality in the structure of the body (such as unusual position or location of the artery). Familial SMAS, recurrent SMAS, and idiopathic neonatal SMAS have also been reported.
How is superior mesenteric artery syndrome diagnosed?
Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) is usually suspected based on signs and symptoms. A diagnosis can be confirmed by imaging studies such as an upper GI series, hypotonic duodenography (an x-ray procedure that produces images of the duodenum), and computed tomography (CT scan).
How might superior mesenteric artery syndrome be treated?
Treatment for superior mesenteric artery syndrome typically focuses on addressing the underlying cause of the condition. For example, symptoms often improve after lost weight is restored or a body cast is removed.Nasogastric decompression (a tube passed through the nose into the stomach) and proper positioning after eating (such as lying prone and knee-to-chest position) may be recommended to alleviate symptoms.
In severe cases, intravenous (IV) nutritional support and/or a feeding tube may be needed to provide enough calories. Affected people can usually then be started on oral liquids, followed by slow and gradual introduction of small and frequent soft meals as tolerated. Then, regular solid foods may be introduced. Metoclopramidetreatment may be beneficial for some people.
What is the long-term outlook for people with superior mesenteric artery syndrome?
The long-term outlook (prognosis) for people with superior mesenteric artery syndrome is typically excellent with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Hedge fund managers sifting through 'busted' credit for deals
Christine Williamson
Hunting: Stephen Siderow said BlueMountain is looking at U.S. and European banks' structured credit portfolios.
Hedge fund managers are rummaging through the world's vast debt opportunities, looking for undiscovered sources of alpha in an overheated market plagued by high volatility and correlations that are much too close for comfort.
Managers are meticulously combing through odd, obscure, complicated, often tainted securities. Also, those hedge fund firms with the sophisticated skills needed to exploit these opportunities are taking their ideas to institutional hedge funds-of-funds managers.
Hedge fund performance has been challenged so far this year, with the July 31 year-to-date return of the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite index return at just 1.55% and the HFRI Fund of Funds Composite index flat at 0.37%.
"The bad news is that it's very dangerous to be invested in traditional asset classes in a market like this that's drowning in liquidity. The good news is that because there's so much funky debt around, skilled hedge fund managers can find deals that will yield hundreds of basis points of return in excess of traditional securities," said David Ben-Ur, co-chief investment officer, Corbin Capital Partners LLC, New York.
Corbin Capital managed $2.7 billion in hedge funds of funds mostly for institutional investors as of July 31.
Most of the creative alpha sources that hedge funds managers seek are in the debt arena, observers said. They range from troubled asset-backed securities to ways to short European sovereign debt to potential deals between hedge fund managers and European banks that are looking to trim their balance sheets by offloading structured credit portfolios.
The common characteristics of these vastly different kinds of debt deals include extreme complexity, opacity, illiquidity and fairly small investment outlays. These deals frequently involve a stressed seller who has to get rid of debt securities quickly at bargain prices.
"These forced sales tend to create a pawn-shop dynamic," said a hedge funds-of-funds CEO who asked not to be identified. "The buyer gets to set the price, because there usually aren't a lot of buyers looking for these kinds of very complex securities. And the price usually is well below what these assets are worth," the CEO added.
Structure is important
The illiquidity of many of these investments means that "the vehicle structure is very important. It can't be the typical evergreen hedge fund structure," said Mary Bates, senior consultant and credit specialist in Hewitt EnnisKnupp's hedge fund group, Chicago.
Ms. Bates noted that most hedge fund managers create a hybrid vehicle for their credit and debt investments with a lockup period of between two and five years — less than a private equity fund, but longer than most hedge fund lockups.
But accepting the longer lockup period should bring rewards, said Robert Kaplan, CIO of Permal Group, New York.
"Hedge fund managers need time to work through these illiquid assets, but that's the price of the opportunity. Many institutional investors have been very focused on maintaining ready liquidity since the 2008 and that means they are missing a lot of opportunities," Permal managed $23 billion in hedge funds of funds as of July 31.
Veteran credit hedge fund manager Peter L. Briger Jr. stressed that for his team of 350 credit specialists at Fortress Investment Group LLC, the best pickings are in "the busted structured finance servicers and capital structures in the world that have yet to be worked through. We are looking at all of the illiquid areas now. If you have the capital to put to work, the best opportunities right now are there. But you have to make sure you get paid for the liquidity risk."
Mr. Briger is co-chairman and principal of New York-based Fortress, which managed $43.8 billion in hedge funds and private equity as of June 30. He also is co-chief investment officer of Fortress' Drawbridge Special Opportunities hedge fund strategy, one of the industry's longest-running credit opportunity funds, having launched in 2002. The onshore and offshore versions of the fund totaled $5.3 billion as of June 30. The onshore fund returned a net 7.2% year-to-date June 30 and a net 25.5% in the year ended Dec. 31. The funds offer annual redemptions.
Executives at BlueMountain Capital Management LLC, New York, are looking at a wide range of debt opportunities, including both subprime auto loans and the non-agency option arms of residential mortgage-backed securities and relative value trades in dividend swaps that are performing well because of volatility on the dividend curve.
Bank prospects
Stephen Siderow, founder and president, also is looking "prospectively" to acquire structured credit portfolios from banks in the U.S. and Europe that likely will have to trim their holdings in order to meet regulatory requirements.
"We believe we can buy these relatively inexpensively and manage down the risk over time. These are ... complex portfolios and there are few hedge fund managers with sufficient experience and size to handle these kinds of investments. The European banks are looking very carefully at potential buyers because they have to remain a counterparty to these portfolios," Mr. Siderow said.
BlueMountain managed $6.7 billion in hedge funds and other alternative investments as of July 31.
Institutionally oriented hedge funds-of-funds managers are capitalizing on their close relationships with hedge fund managers, who are coming to them more and more frequently with good ideas for debt and credit investments.
For example, Blackstone Alternative Asset Management, Corbin, Permal and Benchmark Plus Management LLC all have struck co-investment deals with some of their managers in diverse areas such as auto loans and residential mortgages, event-driven and activist situations, microcap equity and long/short structured credit.
"The key to finding these opportunities is through strong relationships with hedge fund management and then being able to quickly act and set up the investment," said Permal's Mr. Kaplan.
Blackstone Alternative Asset Management has set up a partnership with Bayview Asset Management LLC to invest in whole mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. To date, Bayview manages $2 billion in the strategy for BAAM's hedge funds of funds as well as in separate accounts for some of BAAM's larger institutional investors.
BAAM managed $40 billion in hedge funds of funds and customized hedge fund portfolios as of July 31 for institutional investors.
Support for new strategies
Investcorp International Inc., New York, uses its hedge fund seeding business to support creative new hedge fund strategies.
Deepak B. Gurnani, CIO and head of hedge funds, said Investcorp seeded Prosiris Capital Management LLC in July because of founder Reza Ali's long/short approach to monetizing structured credit investments.
"Institutional investors love the asset-backed securities space because it's so big and deep - about $17 trillion in the U.S. - but it's very opaque and complicated. It takes the kind of skill that Prosiris' investment teams have," Mr. Gurnani said.
Investcorp also is readying a strategy to debut this fall that will short European sovereign debt.
"Every institution that we talk to is very worried about the impact on the markets and on their portfolio of the European sovereign debt crisis. They are interested in shorting their exposure. We think this is going to be a really good play for hedge funds," Mr. Gurnani said.
Investcorp managed $5 billion in hedge funds of funds as of July 31. As of the same date, $1.6 billion was invested in single-manager funds on the firm's investment platform.
