Hedge Funds-Insider Trading-News
4 Stocks Billionaire Warren Buffett and Insiders Love (and 1 They Hate)
Published on December 10, 2018 at 8:53 pm by Tim Frederick in Hedge Funds, Insider Trading, News
Berkshire Hathaway, the holding company of billionaire investing legend Warren Buffett, owns a very small selection of very large positions. Berkshire's $221 billion 13F portfolio contained just 46 positions on September 30, many of which the company has owned for years or even decades. Having the world's 3rd-richest person as a shareholder is a badge of honor only a select group of companies can lay claim to.
Berkshire Hathaway had its usual low turnover rate in Q3 according to the company's latest 13F filing, adding just four new positions to its portfolio and selling off two old ones. Nearly 70% of Berkshire's 13F portfolio was invested in finance and tech stocks, while consumer staples stocks, which have accounted for over 40% of Berkshire's portfolio in the past, fell further out of favor during the quarter, sliding to less than 17% weighting.
Because of the size of Berkshire's holdings, it can shake the market when it buys and sells its positions, depending on the size of the company and its average trading volume. That phenomenon applies even more so to the hedge fund industry as a whole, which manages over $3 trillion in assets. Hedge funds drastically lowering their exposure to the S&P 500 over the past two months (by nearly 70% to just 40%) has only exacerbated the Q4 selloff, which has affected most of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds in Q3.
We've uncovered a reliable way to consistently beat the market by using these 13F filings and investing in only the top consensus picks of the 100 best performing hedge funds each quarter. Insider Monkey's flagship "Best Performing Hedge Funds Strategy" has returned 78.4% since its 2014 inception (through December 3), beating the market by over 18 percentage points. Check out a detailed analysis of Insider Monkey's performance and past quarterly stock picks for all the details. Our newest picks were released last month; don't miss out!
It's also important to monitor insider buying activity, which can provide valuable signals about which stocks may be undervalued and which leadership teams are the most confident in their future prospects, so much so that they're betting their own money on the company's success. Past studies have shown that stocks with spontaneous insider buying activity tend to outperform the market over the following year.
Below we've gathered 4 stocks that Warren Buffett and insiders love, and 1 stock they don't really care for.
4 Stocks Warren Buffett and Insiders Are Bullish On
Restaurant Brands International Inc (NYSE:QSR)
Restaurant Brands International Inc (NYSE:QSR) has been losing hedge fund support for several quarters in a row, but it hasn't lost Buffett's yet. The Oracle of Omaha still maintains the same position of 8.44 million shares that he first bought in the final quarter of 2014.
Fellow billionaire Bill Ackman also remains as bullish as ever, with QSR ranking as his top stock pick. Ackman praised the company's performance in Pershing Square's Q3 investor letter, writing:
"Despite the stock's performance, overall results remain strong, as free cash flow per share growth has increased more than 30% this year due to a combination of positive same-store stores growth, strong net unit growth and a substantial benefit from last year's refinancing of high-cost preferred stock."
QSR director Golnar Khosrowshahi purchased 5,670 shares on June 18, while numerous other insiders made purchases during the prior few months.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE:PNC)
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE:PNC) is one of 20 Dividend Stocks That Billionaires Are Piling On, which includes the greatest hedge fund billionaire of them all. Buffett's Berkshire bought 6.09 million PNC shares during Q3, taking an $829 million position in the stock. Buffett also added JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) to Berkshire's 13F portfolio during the quarter, which already contained several multibillion-dollar positions in other banking giants. The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE:PNC) insider Martin Pfinsgraff bought 700 shares at $142.15 per share on July 18.
Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA)
Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA) ranks as one of the 30 Stocks Billionaires Are Crazy About and Warren Buffett is guilty as charged. Berkshire Hathaway owns 4.93 million shares of the stock, a collection worth $1.10 billion on September 30. It's not just Mastercard but the entire payment processor space that Buffett is extremely bullish on, owning large positions in American Express Company (NYSE:AXP) and Visa Inc (NYSE:V) as well. Mastercard director Richard K. Davis bought 2,475 shares at $196.37 each on November 2.
Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX)
Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX) is a stock that tends to be more popular among billionaires like Buffett than it is among other hedge funds. It also ranked among the 20 Dividend Stocks That Billionaires Are Piling On, even though just 43 hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey's database owned it. Hedge funds did grow much more bullish on PSX during the middle six months of this year, as there was a 43% jump in the number of funds owning the stock. Phillips 66 director Brian J. Ferguson gained indirect ownership of 21,500 PSX shares on November 20 at an average price of $92.31, which were bought by an entity which Mr. Ferguson and his spouse control.
1 Stock Buffett and Insiders Don't Really Care For
Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT)
Buffett's Berkshire sold off its 1.39 million Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) shares in Q3, a stake worth $119 million in the middle of 2018. That severed Buffett's status as a Walmart shareholder for the first time in over a decade, as Berkshire had held the stock since mid-2005. Insiders meanwhile haven't considered the mega-retailer's shares worth purchasing since 2015, when Walmart director Timothy P. Flynn, who's been a member of the company's board since 2012, purchased 10,000 shares at just $58.46 per share. That lone purchase is the only one by a Walmart insider since 2010.

Is The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (PNC) A Good Stock To Buy? Here is What Hedge Funds Think About Mastercard Inc (NYSE:MA)


It sure seems like I eat Japanese food almost every week. Well, there are a few reasons for this. First of all, my son hates almost all types of food except for udon and tempura. Scratch that, only the tempura batter. Second, I convinced myself that Japanese food is healthier. I guess Tempura, Agedashi Tofu and the sort do not qualify. Luckily there seems to be a Japanese restaurant on every other block in the GVRD. Despite the fact there are many to choose from in our neighbourhood, we headed all the way to Kits for our eats today. We actually attempted to eat at Temaki Sushi a few weeks ago to no avail since it's closed on Sundays. We were with Guy Smiley and Girl Smiley last time and they joined us again this time to finally try this place out.
We started with the Deluxe Assorted Sashimi. Presented nicely on a long glass plate, everything looked nice and I particularly liked the fried spot prawn heads. I practically ate the whole darn thing except the razor sharp portion, it was hurting my mouth. All the sashimi on the plate, as you can see, was fresh and nothing was mushy. A real nice beginning to the meal. Served piping hot, the Agedashi Tofu was quite crispy on the outside and decently soft on the inside. I would've preferred a silkier texture; but decent nonetheless. Not resembling tempura batter in texture and appearance, the Tempura itself was actually quite crispy and light. However, with the strange looking batter, it a tad too crispy and didn't take the dipping sauce too well. They Beef Yakisoba arrived on a sizzling hot plate. It was on the saltier side; yet was pretty good. The noodles were just the right chewiness and it was a pleasant eat. The Plain Udon (guess who this was for?) was your typical udon in soup. The soup was a bit plain with no real taste of dashi or mushroom. Although, the noodles were the right consistency in between soft and a bit chewy.
We got 2 specialty rolls to try out which were the Dragon Roll and the Chef's Roll. The Dragon Roll consisted of a California Roll with BBQ eel on the outside. The Chef's Roll had mango, tempura bits and cucumber on the inside while tuna and masago resided on the outside. The best way to describe both rolls is that they were not bad. Nothing particularly exciting about them; however, ingredients seemed fresh while the rice had a nice resistance. The last item was the Sushi Combo which consisted of a Dynamite Roll and assorted Nigiri. As you can see in the picture, the rice looks pretty good and each item is prepared carefully. Again, nothing mind-blowing; but solid nonetheless. Essentially, that sums it up pretty much. Decent food at reasonable prices. Staff seemed interested in providing good service and the place is decently clean. Mind you, I wouldn't pass up Ajisai, Shiro, Fuji or Toshi in favour of Temaki; but I wouldn't be opposed to visiting again either.
wow, that sashimi looks great. i like that they included a few pieces of ikura. nicely presented. the tempura looks a bit strange though... did the batter taste different from most others?
The sashimi was good! Fresh, as you can see in the picture. The tempura batter resembled that batter you'd find on onion rings. It was indeed strange.
I actually really like Temaki. I used to live right around the corner and would go often. Just make sure to ask for the wild sockeye. ;) Also, next time you go try the Spicy Hotate (spicy mayo and chopped scallop that you roll into nori) - it's super addictive! And...now I have a craving. Will have to visit soon.

Q: Python 2.7 no console output in Windows 10 Using python 2.7.11 on Windows 10 64-bit Home Premium
upgraded in place from Windows 7
In a standard console, the following code is saved as hello.py and prints:
Hello World
When invoked with
python hello.py
#! python
print 'Hello World'

It produces no console output at all when invoked with
hello.py
or hello
The program runs in all three cases.
I can demonstrate this by adding
with open('world.txt', 'w') as fh:
    fh.write('dolly\n')

Each of the three methods of invoking the program all successfully write world.txt with the correct information.
python.exe is in my path
.py is in the pathext variable
.py is associated with python.exe, and the correct command line is in the "shell open" registry entry.
all of the above is in accordance with  https://docs.python.org/2/faq/windows.html
I had no trouble running python scripts from the command line without the extension in Windows 7
Thanks,

A: On a whim, I navigated to the registry key specified in my previous comment.
The instruction here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/321788
Say to add a REG_DWORD value "InheritConsoleHandles" to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
and set its value to 1
I set its value to 0 and opened a new command prompt.
Subsequently, running python scripts without their extensions "just works"
I love whims

It's official: the renault espace is coming back completely different
Breaking News Morrow Breaking News Tuesday 24th January 2023 05:36 PM
After almost forty years since the presentation of Renault's Espaco family minivan, the French will present its successor in the spring of this year. But the sixth generation will no longer be a minivan, but the espace will become a 5- or 7-seater sports utility vehicle.
Espace is a well-known name in both France and Slovenia. Espace wrote the rules for the one-room experience almost 40 years ago. In all these years, the French perfected the recipe, and with the last generation, they threw the one-room philosophy out the window and laid new foundations. An impressive crossover between a minivan and a crossover was created. Now they are going one step further, the Espace will no longer be a minivan, but just a sports SUV.
Renault promises a comfortable ride for seven people
Four decades ago, the Espace treaded an unknown path and, surrounded by an extremely rigid and narrowly focused automotive landscape, pushed the brand's one-seater vision into the mainstream. This recipe was perfected with each generation, seven years ago, when the last generation hit the roads, it was already looking strongly towards the SUV segment. The Espace will move to the new CMF-CD architecture and will be available with five or seven seats.
At Renault, they say that with the sixth generation of the Espaco, a new chapter of the story begins. The new SUV "will embody the revitalization of the Renault brand, while at the same time following the previous generations of the Espace and remaining faithful to them, as it will above all be comfortable, innovative and at the top of the range of Renault vehicles."

By The Associated Press Heavy rainfall swept across parts of rain-soaked southeastern Wisconsin Thursday night, and flood watches were posted this morning as more storms moved through the state.
The National Weather Service said rainfall amounts of 2 to 2.5 inches led to flash flooding in some of the storm area Thursday night, and there were strong winds and some large hail. About 485 We Energies customers lost power, mostly in the town of Salem and in Mount Pleasant, but all had electricity restored by Friday morning, utility spokeswoman Megan McCarthy said. The sewage treatment plant in Paddock Lake had more water coming in than going out Thursday night, and was surrounded with up to three feet of water, village president David Buehn said. The rain also left cars plowing through water in the town of Somers, where about half the streets were under water Thursday night, weather service meteorologist J.J. Wood said. Six inches of water and mud spilled off a farm field onto Highway 83 in Salem, he said. Sgt. Robert Hallisy of the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department said a squad car stuck in Paddock Lake had to be towed out of water.

Tower of tablet brings £68,000 to cancer research
A tower of homemade tablet, more than twice the height of the world's tallest building, has helped a Dundee woman raise nearly £70,000 for breast cancer research at the University of Dundee. Fiona Edwards has been selling her homemade tablet at running events and through friends and family around Tayside and Fife since 2003 to support researchers at the University. In 2017, she raised over £8,500, bringing her total to more than £68,000. If stacked on top of each other the 15mm high bars would reach a staggering 1,930 metres (6332 feet), dwarfing the Burj Khalifa, currently the tall...
A biological solution to carbon capture and recycling?
E.coli bacteria shown to be excellent at CO2 conversion Scientists at the University of Dundee have discovered that E. coli bacteria could hold the key to an efficient method of capturing and storing or recycling carbon dioxide. Cutting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to slow down and even reverse global warming has been posited as humankind's greatest challenge. It is a goal that is subject to considerable political and societal hurdles, but it also remains a technological challenge. New ways of capturing and storing CO2 will be needed. Now, normally harmless gut bacteria have been shown to have th...

Twitter + Citizen Science + AI = improved flood data collection

Dr Roger Wang and his colleagues from the University's School of Science and Engineering have shown how AI can be used to extract data from Twitter and crowdsourced information from mobile phone apps to build up hyper-resolution monitoring of urban flooding. They believe this is the first time that Computer Vision has been applied to flooding issues. Urban flooding is difficult to monitor due to comple...


The term "prosperity teaching" or "prosperity Gospel" is one of the most misunderstood and misused in today's language.
I believe in biblical prosperity. It is taught throughout the Bible. Giving to the Lord is so important that God has promised that those who give for the work of the Gospel will be blessed and protected.
We give because it is God's will. We give because it is His command! We give because it is His law. We give because the Lord has commanded every believer to give. And the Lord Jesus promises that when we give, we will surely receive.
We cannot deny the fact that the Lord Himself tells us that we will receive. In fact, Paul the apostle went on to say that if we give sparingly, we will receive sparingly, and if we give bountifully, we will receive bountifully. But the purpose for giving is the fulfillment of God's will—and that is the preaching of the Gospel!
When we give for the preaching of the Gospel, we don't have to wait for the harvest. The harvest will be waiting for us! The harvest will come our way as surely as the sun will rise again tomorrow morning. When we give for the Gospel—when we give for the right reasons—the harvest will surely come!
Here we see true biblical prosperity, which is no lack! That is what I believe will come when you give for the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
It clearly says that when we give, we will be protected from the evil to come.
Remember that the Lord tells us in Matthew 6:33, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." You don't have to worry about God fulfilling His promises. If we do our part, He most certainly will do His.
Also, remember the great promise to us in Psalm 37:25, where the Bible says, "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not see the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread" (Psalm 37:25).
The Lord has promised to take care of our needs and our children's need, and neither we nor our children will ever be forsaken—as long as we obey the Lord and live a righteous life.
The days are short. We must get the Gospel out. The Scriptures tell us clearly that evil is coming to the wicked, but God's people, who love and obey Him, will be protected. That is God's Word! That is true biblical prosperity, for God has also promised to protect your finances and to keep you safe financially, as you obey Him and continue to sow into His work.
So, where should I send that check?
What is your idea of "biblical prosperity"?
There have been times when I have tithed in faith, and I ended up not being able to eat for a few days. Is this because of my "lack of faith?" It's come to the point where I am scared to tithe, because of past experiences.
Now, please, I am not complaining. It's not like I starved to death....God sustained me, as He always does......but according to your logic, every one of our financial needs will be met if we would only tithe. IMO, this is not always so.
Tithing is God's Law, not mine. He first introduced it to the children of Israel. Its all about obedience, and you should always tithed in proportion to your faith.
1)The result of God's blessings and abundance is the results of obediance, not just in finances, but in every area of our lives.
2)The Word of God tells us, "Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do" (Deuteronomy 29:9).
3)The Scriptures clearly say that it is not God's will for any to perish, nor is it His will for any to live in sickness or poverty.
1)The result of God's blessings and abundance is the results of obediance, not just in finances, but in every area of our lives.You're claiming that God promises to give financial blessings in response to obedience to Him. Consistently, you'd have to claim that millions of Christians who are just as poor as millions of non-Christians are somehow all disobedient. You're saying that God's blessings aren't "just in finances", but you're still claiming that "finances" are part of His promised blessings.
3)The Scriptures clearly say that it is not God's will for any to perish, nor is it His will for any to live in sickness or poverty.You're taking the Scripture in question completely out of context. John 3:16, the one in which "Scripture clearly says that it is not God's will for any to perish", is about spiritual living, not material wealth or physical health.
Tithing was in the OT law but what people were to tithe was fruits and such. NEVER was money ever accepted as tithes in the bible. There was also never any tithing ever done by New Testament Christians.
Mark 12:41 Jesus sat down near the collection box in the Temple and watched as the crowds dropped in their money. Many rich people put in large amounts. 42 Then a poor widow came and dropped in two small coins.
When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "You still need to do one thing. Sell everything you have and give the money to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me."
Luke 12:34 Because where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Its hard to Tithe when we build our lives around credit, and debt. Our bills over flow, then when we realize what we are suppose to do, that part gets put on the back burner. God first, then other things should follow.
We do not Tithe most of the time because we live beyond our means.
The electric, water companies will not take Fruits, or material items for payment. Its not the responsibility of the Church to sell stuff in hopes of gaining enough monies to pay the bills, help the poor etc. In the old days, they might have taken a goat or a donkey as payment, however today that will not work.
It takes money, clothes,food, manual labor,prayers,tears, and so much more to make Gods House work.
To love something, or someone with all your heart, mind, and soul takes more than just giving money, or labor, or material items.
I think you should give as much as can when you can. Getting our priorities in order.
I also want to stress that God is not a Bank, or a Magic Genie that will boost your income just because you give. No, God doesn't work like that. The blessings we give may not be seen or experienced by us, we do not know what our blessings do all the time.
We are storing up our treasures in Heaven.
Tithing was commanded to sustain the sacrificial system. Outside of the Temple priesthood that carried out the sacrificial system, you will find no mention of tithe ever. Hebrews 9-11 clearly states that the sacrificial system has passed away (as we can see with our eyes today). Tithing outside of sacrificing animals in the temple is a perversion of scripture.
JESUS CHRIST GOD IN THE FLESH NEVER SINNED AT ALL PERIOD.
LETS LOOK AT HIS PROSPERITY SHALL WE?
I REALLY HOPE YOU DO NOT CONSIDER BENNY HINN TO BE A DISCIPLE THAT WE LOOK UP TO IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.
I asked a question the other day and it went completely ignored. The Beatitudes speak of our blessings yet as Americans we still believe that blessings are material. What if its all taken away; are we blessed or not? I am blessed by Who I know not what I have. Keep your prosperity, I'd rather have Jesus. I can have everything and still have nothing or I can have nothing and still have Everything.
Perhaps you might temper that as to edify, and not condemn.
im sorry you are right and i apologize.
Jesus is our prosperity!:pp He is God, He has loved us and died for us and now we get to be with Him forever. The most powerful source of energy and love in the universe has brought us to Him. At his right hand are pleasures forever more. In heaven there are streets of Gold, because or King is rich. Jesus is the prosperit and all the prosperity we need.
I used to be a proponent of the prosperity message and teachers, so I can understand your passion about this issue.
I used to use the example of a New Red Ford F-150. If you pray for God to give you one all you get is something that devalues the minute you drive it off the lot, will cost you a fortune in gas, oil, upkeep and insurance and will be worthless by the time you get it paid for. Why would God give you that type of gift?
Job was very very wealthy and after he suffered he was twice as wealthy.
It is a sin to be a bad steward of what God has entrusted to you.
God decides who will be rich and be poor. It is a matter of the heart.
There are righteous people who happen to be rich, there are righteous that happen to be poor.
The Gospel doesn't require money to spread. All it requires are diciples of Jesus who are willing to give freely what they have received freely.
What we must do now, in the face of this unholy teaching is to expose the false teachers and false prophets who make the innocent ones twice as fit for hell as they are. The disappointment in empty man-made promises and the resulting enmity created between people souls and God - wondering why they have not received these empty promises - wondering if they truely have the love of the LORD and salvation itself - is rooted in evil.
I think the best way to receive prosperity is to work, as God commanded us to do 6 days per week.
The tithe was a levy that went to Levites. In Messiah, WE are the priests. While I see nothing wrong with supporting local congregations and charitly missions, and I do, the command God and Yeshua stresses over and over again is to help the widow, the orphan and the poor. In these times, I extend the term 'widow' to single moms.
All believers should fulfill the commands of Tzedakah (charity) to help any needy person they may run into.
This is a command for that both praciticning Jews and Christians alike abide in. Torah is filled with commnads to help the needy, and not surprsingly Yeshua affirms the evil eye is the one who will not help thier brothers or sisters in need.
The truth is that obeying God always reaps blessinigs, howver God knows what we need much better than we do, and I tell the truth that rarely what we need for abundance is money and stuff.
None of these commands have anything to do with handing our hard earned money over to shenanigans who falsly teach God's promises of abundance comes in the form of man made stuff.
My advice would be to NEVER give any portion to the tamei of this world. Surely they have their reward here.
Its God's law according to the Law of Moses -- Only !
We no longer live under the law of the tithe !
My friend its all over the bible, if they hate prosperity, then God wont bless you in that area. If you hate it, you are hating a apart of God's word.
People who say God doesnt heal, then God wont heal them... its simple as that.
Why dont you cut out every where it talks about tithing, offering, sowing, and alms in the bible? If you do, you would be destroying the Word of God. But that is what you do each time you speak against it.
Also, how dare you tell me what holy spirit i have?, He is not a thing. He is a precious person.
this is correct i believe. I saw a sermon stating that we are no longer under the 10% rule. However, i believe there are numerous commands in the new testament for us to give money to support ministry and the poor with what we have, and to do it cheerfully.
The speaker said something along the lines of the new covenant church historically was known for giving upwards of 30% or more. The point is that our giving should be an act of worship and it should be sacrificial.
For some extremely poor, tithing 5% may be devastating, for some extremely wealthy tithing 75% would be nothing.
I believe God is not so concerned with the percentage, but the attitude of the heart. Are we cheerfully giving a legitimate sacrifice?
That being said, since we know God commanded 10% in the OT, we should at least try to maintain that 10% out of love, and work our way up from that as He leads us or presses on our hearts.
Why dont you cut out every where it talks about tithing, offering, sowing, and alms in the bible? If you do, you would be destroying the Word of God. But that is what you do each time to speak against it.
I think what reformedct hates is false teachings. I join him on that one.
but did you also know the bible says do not store up riches on earth?
It is not a sin to be prosperous. It is a sin to be unsatisfied unless you are prosperous. That would make prosperity your functional savior.
Your heaven is riches, so without riches, you are sad.
Paul or Peter (i forget which one) believed God could heal their thorn in the flesh, they prayed and prayed, but God said my grace is suficient.
If you tell people, just believe and have faith and it will be done, you will be lying to them and then they will think God is a liar.
Sometimes God does not heal because He has a bigger plan.
I have faith that God can do anything. That does mean he is my slave and when I have faith for something HE HAS TO DO IT.
this man publicly rebuked his sick wife for not having enough faith, as she lay in bed sufferring.
God does heal, and God does give wealth. But just cuz you say, I have faith that God will never let me get sick and give me great financial blessing doesn;t mean God HAS to do it. God is not our slaves. We are His slaves. We are bondservants of the Lord.
that means you are saying all the poor Christians in 3rd world contries are lacking in faith. Jesus had sinless perfect faith, and he suffered many things.
I am trying to be humble as i can. Please understand God may want to teach you something about life by letting you experience pain.
"those were some of the sweetest times with the Lord i ever had"
It was not that he didn't have faith to be healed or not. He begged God to heal him and at one point comically said God just kill me lol he was joking about it but i just don't want you to think God is your servant.
please do not lie to people and tell them they can just push God around with their "Faith". God cannot be forced to do anything just because of our "Faith"
once again i say i do not hate prosperity. Nothing wrong with that.
Bladers, do you believe God is in submission to your faith?
I don't know how to thank you for your words above. The Spirit of God's wisdom is surely embedded in your post. Praise God.
I think it should be mandatory your statement is posted prior to every GTV broadcast.
Well, if God does allow a believer to become prosperous, he/she best use it for HIS Kingdom.
I believe that God isn't making the vast majority of us rich because He knows we couldn't handle it!
I truly believe that the prosperity/word of faith gospel is a lousy but effective money grab.
We actually went to a church for three years that when they were able to finally burn their mortgage contract, they really started throwing the tithes and offerings into programs for the hungry and the poor. It is still extremely effective and many souls are being saved because they are actually putting their money where their mouth is. Most churches are pretty lousy at going without.
Under the new covenant , everything is based upon love. Giving and receiving is based upon love. You can give your body to be burned, and you can give all that you have, but without love your giving is nothing !
Love is also based upon truth. Loving God and loving our neighbor as ourselves. II Corinth. chapter 8 deals with this specifically. Equality. Not equal in our riches ! But equality in what I have and what someone else lacks. We don't have to live the same life style. We don't have to drive the same car on an equal cost bases. But we do need to take care of the church and its needs. The church are the household of faith. God tells us to be good to all, but especially unto the household of faith.
We need to line up our faith with the New covenant ! Not the old covenant !
Amen! great verse too! we can give EVERYTHING WE HAVE but without love, its all a waste.
We do not control God, you cant control God. He can do what ever he likes. But God responds to our prayers, supplication and faith.
Tithing ie. a tenth is of the Levitical priesthood Heb7:5.
They gave themselves as an offering to God in the Melchisedek priesthood.
New testament Father/Son relationship not one rule counts for all.
Example: John Smith earns $10 000 a month. His breadline and overheads amount to $9500. He has to "tithe" $1000. He stays hungry and incurs debts so that he later has to sell something.
Is this fair in God's eyes?
do you believe that if you have faith for a specific thing, God will respond by giving you that specific thing because of your faith, no matter what?
However, i think you are trying to imply that if you ask for blessing xyz God will give you xyz if you have enough faith. Is this what you are implying?
Or better yet let me simply ask this question. If you don't answer any others at least answer this one.
Do you believe its possible to obey God and have faith in God to do something and that He still may not do it because he has something else planned?
by the way i apologize for my angry demeanor earlier, i didn't have to be That mean, but i do think that believe it/recieve it doctrine and preaching can sometimes be misleading and many times is used by televangelist to make people feel challenged to "sow a seed" in their "ministry"
God teaches us through our faith and trust in Him, that His instructions for us are worthy, holy and good. What does He teach us? How to live. How to proclaim the Gospel to help Him bring the dead to life. In doing that we get blessed in an awesome relationship with our Creator through the cleansing intervention of our Kohen Gadol, Christ Jesus. These blessings aren't gold rings, fancy cars and big screen TV's. These blessings are life - shalom, compassion, confidence, rightousness, justice, mercy, grace. These are the things all souls yearn for. It is a mistake to think that money can purchase any free gift from Elohim.
God is not Santa Claus. He doesn't give you candy if you're 'good.' He offers soemthing much greater - eternal life in His presence.
One MAJOR problem about any "prosperity" is the biblical meaning of "prosperity". It has absolutely nothing to do with financial wealth. The word "prosperity" in the bible, was translated from many words but none of them spoke of material wealth or money at all.
From H2895; good (as an adjective) in the widest sense; used likewise as a noun, both in the masculine and the feminine, the singular and the plural (good, a good or good thing, a good man or woman; the good, goods or good things, good men or women), also as an adverb (well): - beautiful, best, better, bountiful, cheerful, at ease, X fair (word), (be in) favour, fine, glad, good (deed, -lier, liest, -ly, -ness, -s), graciously, joyful, kindly, kindness, liketh (best), loving, merry, X most, pleasant, + pleaseth, pleasure, precious, prosperity, ready, sweet, wealth, welfare, (be) well ([-favoured]).
From H7999; safe, that is, (figuratively) well, happy, friendly; also (abstractly) welfare, that is, health, prosperity, peace: - X do, familiar, X fare, favour, + friend, X greet, (good) health, (X perfect, such as be at) peace (-able, -ably), prosper (-ity, -ous), rest, safe (-ly), salute, welfare, (X all is, be) well, X wholly.
A primitive root; to push forward, in various senses (literally or figuratively, transitively or intransitively): - break out, come (mightily), go over, be good, be meet, be profitable, (cause to, effect, make to, send) prosper (-ity, -ous, -ously).
From H7951; security (genuine or false): - abundance, peace (-ably), prosperity, quietness.
This names a few. Biblical prosperity speaks of good health, peace, quietness, things that money can't buy.
The topic of the OP represents another classic case of the need to have a "Hebrew mind" in the understanding of Bible truths.
For those who understand "prosperity teaching" only with an "Americanized mind", you might want to consider a renewing of your mind to the truth of the Hebrew scriptures (the Tanakh).
1:1 How blessed is the one who does not follow of the wicked, the advice or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of scoffers!
1:2 Instead he finds pleasure in obeying the Lord's commands; he meditates on his commands day and night.
1:3 He is like a tree planted by flowing streams; it yields its fruit at the proper time, and its leaves never fall off. He succeeds in everything he attempts.
1:4 Not so with the wicked! Instead they are like wind-driven chaff.
1:5 For this reason the wicked cannot withstand judgment, nor can sinners join the assembly of the godly.
1:6 Certainly the Lord guards the way of the godly, but the way of the wicked ends in destruction.
1:2 "Moses my servant is dead. Get ready! Cross the Jordan River! Lead these people into the land which I am ready to hand over to them.
1:8 This law scroll must not leave your lips!
You must memorize it day and night so you can carefully obey all that is written in it. Then you will prosper and be successful.
It seems to me that "prosperity" here is a concept where any individual involved "with delight and/or meditation in the Law" will "do well in their tasks" or "achieve profitable things in their journey" and so on . . .
Notice what is conspicuous by its absence from the concept of tsâlach צלח צלח: all of the things that the "Americanized mind" can think of as being present in the "prosperity" concept (money, wealth, fame, fortune, 7 mansions, 12 cars . . .).
The point of all of this seems clear enough: Bible Prosperity is taught in the scriptures, but it takes a renewed mind (a Hebrew mind) to grasp what the Lord is really saying about it . . .
Indeed, this is something for all Christians to think again about . . .
Hi Bladers! I am interested in your take on this article. It's called "Prosperity Preachers and Financial Gain". Please read it fully and then let me know what you think. Blessings! and Thanks!

Exploring the armory of the iron clad: the graphic identity of Iron Man
by Tim Girvin | Motion Pictures | May 7, 2010
Elemental examinations of material and technology in cinematic design
Earlier in our history as designers of cinematic identity, we were asked by the marketing team at Paramount Studios, lead by EVP Nancy Goliger, to explore the concept of a cinematic treatment of the legacy of Iron Man. Like many of our development programs for theatrical design positioning and visualization, we started nearly two years before the film was released. The unique attribute of our study might be that we had virtually nothing — in the way of reference — of the opening industrial design and production visualization principles of the film.
As in our work for many films, the idea of designing working mostly from working with the studio, historical references, early story-boarding, the script, meeting with executives, writers, directors, producers and stars is relatively commonplace. Positioning a film visually needs a place to start and that — as renegades of motion picture identity design (not being part of the massive promotional engine of film advertising in Los Angeles) — is oftentimes our interloper placement in working on production development.
A bronzed application, from medieval armor, tinted in the golden cast of Iron Man cladding.
We reach back into the historical references, pulling materials, visual effects, lighting and composites of imagery to build on the legacy of a new treatment of an established thematic character, or creating something completely new. Our cinematic design books can become, in the opening months of creative efforts on the film, a kind of referential bible of context. Like many programs in motion picture design, the efforts in bringing a film design to light are highly competitive, entirely collaborative (mix and match) and in many instances, perfectly founded on intuition by filmic leadership.
While there are focus testing and audience studies down the line, examining the appropriateness of trailers and visual context, the early work comes from the soul of the story and the heart of the brand. And this is the place that we work, building on the positioning of what we know, what we recommend, what we've heard in our onsite, studio reviews and developments and building the widest range of potential offerings that we can muster. Motion picture design development is rarely about a couple of ideas — and just like the opening pitch to the studio for the film itself, the development and evolution of the written telling of the tale in the script, and finally the studies of holistic visual positioning, it's about a long string of collective thoughts and transitions to build out what might be the final look and feel of the graphic identity for the brand.
Material development, textures and sampling for reference:
The hand-welded steel of the opening prototype, Iron Man (2008)
Sampling references from shoots in NYC | Armor collection, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Medieval Galleries.
Cut steel, drilled and patinized — Soho, NYC.
Corroded overcoats and bolting details — Tallinn, Estonia
Golden brushed steel — seams, beveled joints, incisions and light details (MMA.)
Prototype metals — hand wrought (MMA.)
Girvin sees brand as fire — a passionate concretion of idea, creativity, action and enterprise — and this concept of a fiery center-point to the brand likens itself to the very spark of the nature of storytelling. Dig into it, to find the soul — and the material — of the telling.
Working, therefore, on the early concepts of Iron Man, our efforts actually crossed back in time exploring the concept of metal cladding for protection. And as in the opening of the first iteration of the Iron Man character, Stark's hand-wrought and hammered building of the first protective prototype in the winding caves of Afghanistan, we worked backwards (mostly stealing into the archives of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exploring and shooting the armory of steel clad warriors in their galleries.
Wrought metals incised and grazed, patinized (Gagosian, NYC)
Light tests for glow plate (London, UK.)
Polished steel, acid etched, then re-polished — Chelsea, NYC.
These opening, war-scraped, battle riven armaments formed much of the original idea in how to consider metal as a possible design treatment of the cladding of the atomic powered, heart positioned glow point of his energy. This, too, lent itself to the notion of the glow that might emanate — how that might be linked to the identity treatment and the materials from which it could be fabricated.
Still, this work is entirely collaborative — one idea forms another, and another, till there might be literally dozens of investigations of solutions. The concept of a simplified slightly condensed versioning of the final, master art was, in the end, hammered out by the leadership of Josh Greenstein, the then newly arrived Creative Director of Theatrical Advertising for Paramount Studios, fresh from NYC's HBO where he led hybrid marketing for their properties.
Girvin is a ronin, when it comes to motion picture work — we're not there, in the daily mix of living and breathing the cinematic seizures of marketing exhilaration. But we've worked there, every year, since the 70s, starting with Coppola's Apocalypse Now. That first batch of signature treatments was brush drawn, spontaneously scripted treatments on hand-made Japanese washi, mulberry-frothed, delicate leaves of expertly crafted material that one finds in the translucent luminescence of shoji, the diaphanous, sliding and windowed dividers of Japanese design.
Still, the concept is about finding and capturing spirit — the soul of a story — reaching that messaging out, back to the audience in a manner that can captivate the viewer, reader, sentient, experiencer. In that, a relationship is built; and that's the nature, surely, of Girvin's work — building that relational sensibility that attracts and compels holding that vibe — the love — fast to the heart.
Go, Tony Stark, go!

The share price of MacDonald Mines is a coiled spring, the Company is advancing prime ground located next to two multi-million ounce gold deposits.
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, February 27, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ — Mining MarketWatch Journal is responsible for the content of this release. Macdonald Mines Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: BMK) (US Listing: MCDMF) (Frankfurt: 3M72) Wawa-Holdsworth Gold Project is located 25 km NE of Wawa Ontario, Canada, uniquely positioned proximal Arogonaut's >6Moz Au Magino deposit property, and Richmont's >1Moz Au Island Gold Mine, along an underexplored extension of the prolific Michipicoten Greenstone Belt. The risk-reward characteristics are highly advantageous for investors establishing a long position in BMK.V as the current market cap (~$6M Canadian, trading at 11 cents/share) relative to the inherent value of MacDonald Mines' Wawa-Holdsworth Gold Property appears disproportionate; near-term share price catalysts exist as the Company is aggressively exploring to build on known gold values and leverage its exploration teams expertise and experience in the Wawa district gold camp.
BMK.V is the subject of a Mining MarketWatch Journal review, full copy of which may be viewed at http://miningmarketwatch.net/bmk.htm online.
Oxide Sand Zones – Quick pathway to cash flow: Voluminous gold-bearing oxide sand (black sand) zones near surface have demonstrated potential for an immediate pathway to production/cash flow; e.g. 3.45 g/t gold and 29.99 g/t silver average grade from a composite of 23 panels, with preliminary metallurgical testing resulting in between 69% and 98.7% gold recoveries (without even crushing). The exploration team is now undertaking a program of mapping and quantifying these zones which were previously not mapped well and historically ignored for gold but characterized in the early-1900's as one of the best massive sulphide deposits in the country. There is the possibility of a 2.2 km strike length of gold laden Oxide Sands Zones over the auriferous iron formation (which acted as a trap for gold circulating in the system).
Oxide Sands can be treated like aggregate. Visible in the images of black oxide sands taken from the property is gold and some course grain quartz (which likely also contain gold). The oxide sand zones appear amenable to MacDonald Mines simply obtaining a permit for mining aggregate; backhoe the material, then crush and ball mill the material (to maximize recoveries), and transport the floured material to one of the several mills located within a few kilometers of the property. Works programs underway this winter and spring 2017 are geared towards affirming a voluminous and robust understanding of these Oxide Sands Zones — the potential for a 6-bagger in share price appreciation from current price levels appears in order if exploration findings/results affirm what is suspected.
3) Lode Gold in traditional quartz veins — "The Soocana Vein".
The exploration team has learned from other projects in the area that the alteration system associated in this land package is very large, something that people historically either didn't recognize, or know about, or chose to ignore, instead they would focus on the quartz veins. Banded Iron Formations (BIF) are hosted on the property, similar to other formations that were historically mined near Wawa. We know that when you put these type of rocks in an environment where gold bearing fluids are circulating they form very good traps for gold, and we know that BIF on this property are mineralized because the Oxide Sands are derived from the weathering of those banded formations. Additionally, localized drilling and samples in BIF have shown them to be gold bearing, historic samples were upwards of ~0.3 ounces/t.
Lode Gold in traditional quartz veins — "The Soocana Vein": Almost all the historic drilling and work done for gold on the property was concentrated into a 700 m strike length associated with this 'Soocana' vein with very little efforts put into other gold plays on the property, apart from the Oxide Sands. The Soocana vein system is a shear zone with stacked auriferous quartz veins. A poor understanding of the shear system geometry by previous operators is obvious as drilling occurred in every direction with un-systematic sampling practice. Noteworthy historic (non NI 43-101 compliant) drilling intersections include 16g/t gold over 4.3 m, and 6.9 g/t gold over 15.8m and demonstrates the potential. At one time, in the 1930's, the Soocana Mining Company Limited calculated a gold resource (historical non NI43-101) of 54,000 tons of material grading 0.556 oz/t (19.06 g/t), however the Soocana Vein was never meaningfully mined in any way, only a small pit scratched the surface in one spot from earlier on.
Proven exploration team that understands area geology: One of the most effective investment techniques for generating superior returns in exploration mining stocks is to follow quality/proven people to new ventures. The advisory and exploration team for MacDonald Mines has enjoyed exploration success in the Wawa gold camp. For example, Jean-Philippe Desrochers ,Ph.D., P.Geo., is part of the MacDonald advisory/exploration team — he was Vice-President of Exploration at the Windfall Lake Gold Project (now owned by Osisko Mining) in its early days from 2005 to 2010 (then Murgor), and became Eagle Hill's Chief Geologist in 2010 before becoming Vice-President Exploration for Eagle Hill in 2013. Under his watch from 2005 – 2013 he took the Windfall gold project from conceptual to advanced stage with impressive resource that resulted in the Osisko buy-out. The advisory and exploration team of MacDonald Mines is looking to replicate that type of success here on the Wawa-Holdworth property now and believe their success in the area and intimate understanding of the geology provides a level of insight and expertise that was never previously afforded this prime land package.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, February 27, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ — Nexus Gold Corp. (NXS.V) has increased its phase 1 diamond drill program by an additional 1,000 metres at its Niangouela gold project located in Burkina Faso, West Africa.
The company originally planned a 1,000-metre phase 1 diamond drill program on its 178-square-kilometre Niangouela concession. The increased 1,000 metres of diamond drilling is designed to test the primary quartz vein and associated shear zone at depth and along strike. The current program is targeting areas of gold anomalies identified from rock samples and rotary air blast (RAB) drilling that was conducted by the company in December, 2016, and January, 2017.
"Early work is progressing extremely well at Niangouela, we are very pleased with what we are seeing on the ground. Additionally, we are still discovering the size and scope of the primary quartz vein and the shear zone. It's a large concession with a lot of artisanal activity. We have a lot of ground to cover," said senior geologist Warren Robb. "Now that we have established a base of operations and have crews up and running we will begin to initiate work at the Bouboulou concession," continued Mr. Robb. "Our plan is to drill both properties over the coming months with the goal of establishing the extent of mineralization at both sites."
The current work program at Niangouela has assisted the company in understanding and streamlining its exploration efforts in Burkina Faso. The company has based its operation out of the city of Yako which will also serve as its base for the upcoming diamond drill program on the Bouboulou property located six kilometres south of Yako. The objective of the program is to further define and understand the characteristics of the four mineralized zones on the property — Koala, Rawema, Bouboulou 2 and Pelgtanga. An initial phase consisting of a 2,000-metre diamond drill program is anticipated to begin shortly. More information on the Bouboulou project is available on the company's website.
The 178-square-kilometre Niangouela gold concession is located on the Boromo greenstone belt (as is the company's Bouboulou gold concession) and is proximal to the Kalsaka deposit and the Sabce shear zone. It is accessible by road and has one major orpaillage (artisanal workings).
In December, 2016, the company conducted an 802-metre rotary air blast (RAB) drill program that delineated an approximate-1,000-metre quartz vein and a 500-metre secondary strike, running oblique to the main vein. This vein has now been identified in trenches, artisanal workings and through RAB drilling. It remains open in all directions.
A total of 11 rock chip and grab samples were taken during the initial exploration phase. Eight of the 11 samples returned values of one gram per tonne gold or better. Best results of the 11 include sample NG005, taken directly from the primary quartz vein at 46-metre depth (accessed via an artisanal mining shaft), which returned a value of 2,950 g/t gold. Sample NG006 was collected from the artisanal dumps of the sheared intrusive and returned a value of 23.9 g/t gold. Sample NG007 contained coarse visible gold, was taken from material extracted from the eastern shaft from a depth of approximately 60 metres, and returned values of 403 g/t gold. Sample NG008 was taken from the western shaft, 10 to 12 metres west of the eastern shaft, and consisted of a single large piece of primary quartz vein containing host rock inclusions and a cluster of visible gold. NG008 returned values of 49.8 g/t gold.
The Bouboulou concession covers an area of 38.3 square kilometres and is located approximately 100 kilometres north by northwest of the capital city of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Exploration on the permit area has been conducted by Boliden (1997 to 1999), Riverstone Resources (2005 to 2011) and Roxgold (2011 to 2012). Exploration has consisted of rotary air blast drilling, trenching, geological mapping, airborne electromagnetic, magnetometer and radiometrics, and reverse circulation and diamond drilling.
Highlights of the previous exploration programs include surface rock sampling and trenching returning gold grades from 1.09 to 19.16 g/t gold. Four zones of gold mineralization have been identified on the property termed Koala, Rawema, Bouboulou 2 and Pelgtanga. Previous drilling highlights Bouboulou include 40 m of 1.54 g/t Au (including 20 m of 2.55 g/t Au), 35 m of 2.20 g/t Au (including 12 m of 5.45 g/t Au), four m of 12.83 g/t Au and six m of 4.62 g/t Au (including 0.03 m of 81.32 g/t Au). Please see the Nexus Gold Corp. website for a more detailed look at historical drill results at Bouboulou.

Formaldehyde can cause acute health problems. With the new portable product, GASERA ONE FORMALDEHYDE, indoor and outdoor background levels can now be measured.
REDMOND, WASHINGTON, USA, February 24, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ — Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with a pungent odor. Formaldehyde levels above 0.1 ppm can cause acute health problems, e.g. sore throat, skin irritation, nausea, scratchy eyes and cough. lt is also classified as highly carcinogenic compound. Exposure to moderate amounts of formaldehyde has been linked to cancer, such as leukemia. However, the full effects of exposure to small amounts of formaldehyde are still unknown.
We are exposed to formaldehyde everyday. Formaldehyde can be found in both small and significant concentrations in various environments. Industrial emissions, traffic, building materials, cooking, and tobacco smoking are sources of formaldehyde. Also many everyday products, such as cosmetics, furniture, and detergents contain formaldehyde. High levels of formaldehyde are often found in new homes or homes with new construction. Formaldehyde is a significant emission from biofuel usage, which is increasing. lt is expected that biofuel combustion will have a significant effect on increasing formaldehyde levels, especially in urban areas.
Some people are more sensitive to formaldehyde than others. "Formaldehyde exposure is a special concern for children, elderly, and people with breathing problems, such as asthmatics. Children may become sensitive to formaldehyde more easily than adults. Elderly people are usually less tolerant to high formaldehyde exposures, leading to greater risk of becoming sick. Formaldehyde exposure may precipitate asthmatic attacks," says Gasera's CEO, Ismo Kauppinen.
Until today, formaldehyde has been difficult to monitor with existing technologies. Now Gasera Ltd., a Finnish high-tech company, launches a disruptive analyzer, which is based on the proven technology of the GASERA ONE platform. It offers for the first time an affordable and easy-to-use tool for continuously monitoring the background levels of formaldehyde. GASERA ONE FORMALDEHYDE analyzer can achieve below 1 ppb detection limit, which is well below the 16 ppb recommendation for occupational exposure limit by The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in the USA.
By solving this global and increasing measurement problem GASERA ONE FORMALDEHYDE has huge market potential, according to Kauppinen.
"A significant advantage of the product is the intuitive interface, which is easy to use with a single knob or via your smart device. Thanks to its patented photoacoustic detection scheme combined with a quantum cascade laser source, it gives an exceptionally high level of stability with a re-calibration period ranging from several months up to several years, and thus it offers a low total cost of ownership," says Kauppinen.

Official Chinese news agency Xinhua has made no mention of Kashmir or the military tension heightening between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of the Uri attack while reporting on a meeting between Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his Chinese counterpart Li Keqiang in New York recently. Xinhua merely reported that Li reiterated 'unbreakable' friendship of China with Pakistan and its commitment to the economic growth of the Islamic Republic. There were other reports that indicated that the Chinese PM advised his Pakistani counterpart to improve ties with India through a comprehensive economic dialogue.
On the surface, it may appear that there is nothing new in the Chinese counseling to Pakistan; indeed it has consistently refused to participate in Pakistan's wars against India in 1965 and 1971 and in the Kargil conflict. Throughout centuries, China has fought only its own wars and not of someone else's. At present, it has more the reasons not to get involved in any conflict zone, having overstretched itself in the South China Sea.
There is another bigger danger looming over the People's Republic. US blue-collared workers are sick and tired of their jobs migrating to China all the time. And they want their Presidential candidates, both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, to put an end to this trend. Trump, known for his blunt speaking, has threatened to wipe out a record half-trillion dollars of China's exports to the US in 2015 by imposing domestic trade barriers against Chinese goods. Clinton may do the same thing but quietly and in most devious ways. Because of low US exports to China of merely $116.2 billion in 2015, the U.S. trade deficit with China surged to $365.7 billion in 2015 - a new record, up slightly from the 2014 record of $343 billion.
All of this might have forced China to rebalance its approach to India and Pakistan. In the case of a conflict between the two subcontinental neighbors, China is aware that its investment in Pakistan would come to a naught. Beijing is already expressing nervousness over investing in its proposed $ 46 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor because of the insurgency in Balochistan. Beijing's mandarins and political leaders might have originally designed CPEC and one belt one road (OBOR) to bypass India. But that plan has apparently come a cropper with India interested more in Act East Policy that has given a new window of opportunity to ASEAN and East Asian nations who are nervous in the face of Chinese assertiveness in the SCS.
China depends on exports to maintain jobs and social cohesiveness. In the face of threatened US trade sanctions, China must find ways to maintain its economic growth; if at all US sanctions come, they may knock off 2-3 percentage points from the current Chinese GDP growth rate of 6.5 to 7 percent. It's a grim scenario for PRC.
To overcome this, State Councillor of PRC Yang Jiechi, who is supposed to be in the inner circle of Premier Li, is believed to have written a letter to CPC supremo Xi Jinping calling for a rebalancing of China's India policy. The letter states "China's natural trajectory will increase competition with the US. Though China is the pre-eminent power in Asia and the world is less unipolar, US military presence at our doorstep is a reality. Managing this challenge and retooling the economy for slower growth requires a radical rethink on our ties with India and its concerns over terrorism, the border dispute and its bid for Nuclear Suppliers Group membership.
"An important element of US policy towards India is a desire to balance China and the current regime in Delhi is pursuing strategic initiatives with Japan and Vietnam too. Cooperation with the US gives India military technology, nuclear and space know-how, entry to missile control regimes and benefits in environment, health and agriculture. India's aggregate defence acquisition from the US crossed $13 billion last year. The US and India share a global strategic partnership.
There is a new realism in India's decision to privatise and upgrade defence production. In 2014 FDI into India increased by 22% and it reached $40 billion in 2015-16. China's economy, of course, dwarfs all comparison with its outbound FDI of $120 billion outdoing inflows in 2014. But with US support and internal reforms India is expected to retain 6% plus growth till 2020 and then grow faster than China assisted by a younger population."
It points out that "China's containment of India hinges on its all-weather friendship with Pakistan. Our $46 billion investment in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor will closely enmesh interests and economies. But India's politics and economic prospects rule out the possibility of its becoming a client state. It will not even be as accommodating as Asean countries. If the chill in political ties spreads to trade, measures like a ban on China made mobiles will hurt our economy.
"After its NSG campaign, India has adopted a more pragmatic approach as was evident when PM Modi met your excellency in Hangzhou recently. This does not mean India will abandon its quest but opens the doors to some sensible negotiation on other aspects of the relationship. The One Belt One Road (OBOR) project, critical to realising our China dream, will benefit with Indian participation if we can steer ties away from more contentious issues.
Our intelligence has often revealed the role of extremist institutions in Pakistan in motivating Uyghur terrorists. While Pakistan serves Chinese interests in bodies such as NAM and OIC, there is a pressing need to take a longer view. Not opposing India's request to sanction Jaish-e-Muhammed leader Azhar Masood under the UN 1267 resolution will remove an irritant. Several individuals in Pakistan are in any case subject to international sanctions.
The resolution of differences over India's NSG membership is more complex. But your predecessor did accept a waiver for India and it will be wise not to adopt a rigid posture that isolates China. It might be useful to even claim credit for an eventuality that cannot be delayed indefinitely. Similarly, the border dispute calls for more imaginative handling. Trading our expertise in SEZs to loosen India's embrace of the US and leverage border talks will be a display of smart power.
"India is an unpredictable and inefficient democracy and economic policies can change if future elections deliver weaker regimes. It is also prone to vastly overestimating its capacity to rival China, even dabbling in the South China Sea. But India is inching towards middle-income status and its economy can reach $47 trillion PPP by 2050.
Your far-sighted OBOR programme will be a lasting legacy of your leadership. The decision to encourage high-end manufacturing and promote services is showing results. There are, however, areas of concern. We need a better understanding of mature markets and to expand in others. Cooperation with India can help sustain economic growth that is crucial to achieving the political objective of social stability.
"The ongoing strategic economic dialogue with India offers a chance to move ahead. Our industry is keen to manufacture in India. At your meeting at Tashkent in June PM Modi said ties can soar if we helped India join the NSG. We should play this to our advantage. It is time to think creatively".

There's another Dizzy one too.
I don't know a word of Russian but I find the videos very amusing to watch.
....I've just realised that Dizzy and the Other Side is 10 this year!
I have seen these, totally forgot about them.

A great summer song must evoke the feelings of a great summer season. It doesn't have to be directly about the summer. It just has to be about the fun and excitement that comes with the summer.
An impressive song will also be one with a great musical vibe. It can be bouncy and upbeat or it can simply be relaxing and fun. Either way, the sound has to come with a beautiful style that is truly unique.
The lyrics can also be important. Memorable lyrics that are easy to sing along with are always great but are even better when they highlight the thrill of the summer.
There have been many iconic summer songs that continue to be classics to this very day. Here's a look at ten of the best ones and how they are truly appealing.
DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince made this iconic hip hop song about relaxing and having fun in the summer in 1991. More than 25 years later, the song still stands out as a beloved tune about relaxing and enjoying the sun, the waves and everything the summer has to offer. The use of Kool and the Gang's Summer Madness as a sample here is especially great.
There are far too many great Beach Boys songs to list here so we'll just limit them to one song. Brian Wilson wrote this song not long after his first experience with psychedelics. He used an airy and atmospheric tone for the music that is still down to earth. The lyrics that he and Mike Love wrote are especially iconic.
The summer is a time for kids to have fun as school is out for the season. Alice Cooper made this iconic song as a tribute to kids looking to get away from responsibilities. The song is emblematic of the theatrical and whimsical hard rock that Cooper and has band were known for in the 1970s.
The visuals and feeling of the summer season are alive and well on this great Chicago classic. Robert Lamm has heavily inspired by the sights of New York's Central Park and the festive nature of the season when he wrote this song. This immediately brings memories of a fun day in the park to anyone who listens.
This next track was recorded by Katy Perry with an appearance from Snoop Dogg. The song has a great sound that is fun and very memorable. The great bubblegum pop-influenced sound mixes well with lyrics about looking for attractive girls who will stun any man who looks on.
One of the biggest solo hits to come from a former member of the Eagles, Don Henley sings this famous song about love and romance during the summer season. The song is emblematic of innocence and the fun of the season. It creates a fun approach that all people will surely enjoy.
It would be an understatement to say that Grease remains one of the most popular modern musicals in recent time. Much of the soundtrack crossed over to the pop charts with immense success. The song is particularly popular for its great depiction of a classic summer romance and the fun of hanging out in the summer.
While Katrina and the Waves didn't have much success outside their home country of the United Kingdom, this classic song of theirs still stands out all around the world. The song's positive lyrics and upbeat music make it an ideal summer song. It is a very festive track that has been covered by many over the years including Dolly Parton.
Justin Timberlake recorded this hit summer song as a fun and festive tune inspired by beach life. The song is a great barnburner at dances and is all about finding love and enjoying life with others in the summer. It is a very appealing song that is still popular ten years later.


Abby is big into mimicry lately.
She's always been very interested in what goes on around her, and fairly quick to absorb it and bounce it off of us to get a reaction (especially if it's the kind of thing we'd really rather not have her adopt), but in the last few days she's kicked things up a notch.
On Sunday, when Auntie Lisa, Granda, and Mei Mei were visiting, Abby began to repeat some phrases, word for word. Lisa noticed, but shrugged it off until Abby gave a rather impressive performance at the dinner table, copying not only the exact words that her father was saying as he said them, but his expressions and gestures as well.
Of course, the reaction and subsequent laughter that she elicited has only served to encourage her. I had to stifle my amusement this evening when Tom announced to her, quite sternly, "Just one more story," and she one-upped his look of seriousness while holding a single finger up to his face.
