Kim kardashian video ray
RAY J is best known for his relationship with Kim Kardashian and that now-infamous sex tape they made. But there is more to him than being a former lover of the reality TV queen - here's what we know He was born William Ray Norwood Jr. When he was young, he moved with his parents and older sister Brandy, the award-winning singer and actress, to California. He then played foster son L. In , when he was just 14 he signed to Elektra Records and recorded and released his debut album called Everything You Want, which peaked at number 25 in the charts. He was dropped from the label two years later and became a producer for the toy company Mattel, putting music together for several TV commercials. He also that year released a second album, This Ain't A Game, through Atlantic Records which to this day has only sold , copies.
The most beloved Kardashian sister, Kim, is probably one of the most talked about celebrities of this generation. Keep scrolling to watch the full video. In , the video was leaked and it has been the most successful celebrity adult film in history. She made the nasty footage with then boyfriend Ray J. If you haven't seen the video yet, you're in luck! After watching it, you'll see why a lot of men are fans of Kim K and her amazing body! Kim might think that this tape is buried in her past, but in reality this tape has been watched over million times and apparently someone watches the tape every 1. This makes it the most-watched X-rated video of all time. That makes it a bit hard to believe that Kim or her mother Kris had no involvement in leaking the video.
It depicts the pair having sexual intercourse in October while on vacation in Cabo San Lucas , Mexico. Ray J filmed much of the holiday with a handheld camcorder, capturing him and Kardashian " goofing around " and also having sexual intercourse. Kardashian was relatively unknown before the tape's release. She was mainly known as the daughter of Robert Kardashian , who served as O. Simpson 's defense attorney during Simpson's murder trial. Kardashian was also known as a friend and personal stylist for Paris Hilton after Kardashian appeared in 4 episodes of Hilton's show, The Simple Life , from to The film was released on March 21, by Vivid Entertainment. According to Halperin, "A mutual friend of Kim and Paris Hilton had advised her that if she wanted to achieve fame, a sex tape would be the way to go

Did you ask him to drop you off and he refused, or were you hoping he'd think of it himself. I have only been living with him for a month. I just wanted to tell you that I am grateful for your words!.

The Rev. Dr. Renee A. Meyer
Renee grew up in Clarksville, Tennessee and graduated from Austin Peay State University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1988. She then worked for a year as an R.N. at St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville before moving to Memphis, TN in order to attend Memphis Theological Seminary. At that time she thought her calling was to medical missionary work. By the end of her seminary career, however, she accepted a call as Associate Pastor to a congregation in Marshall, Texas. Since then she has felt that her call to ministry is to serve churches as solo pastor.
In 2002 Renee graduated from Memphis Theological Seminary with a Doctor of Ministry degree. Her concentration was in preaching. From 2007-2014 she attended the University of Missouri-Kansas where she studied comparative world religions and sociology in the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. program.
Before coming to Kentucky, Renee served churches in Missouri for a total of eighteen years. From 2006-2014, Renee was an adjunct faculty member at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, MO, teaching courses such as: Gender and Religions and Comparative World Religions.
Renee is married to Jerry Meyer, who has been a family practice physician for the last forty-three years. He retired from active practice in 2016. Renee has one daughter, Courtney Fall who resides in Kansas City with her husband, Davey and their daughter, Willow.
Rev. Meyer has been pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Murray since June 2014. On September 14, 2014, Western Kentucky Presbytery formally installed her as pastor.

Thermomechanical finite-element model of shell behavior in continuous casting of steel
Chunsheng Li, Brian Thomas
Mechanical Science and Engineering
A coupled finite-element model, CON2D, has been developed to simulate temperature, stress, and shape development during the continuous casting of steel, both in and below the mold. The model simulates a transverse section of the strand in generalized plane strain as it moves down at the casting speed. It includes the effects of heat conduction, solidification, nonuniform superheat dissipation due to turbulent fluid flow, mutual dependence of the heat transfer and shrinkage on the size of the interfacial gap, the taper of the mold wall, and the thermal distortion of the mold. The stress model features an elastic-viscoplastic creep constitutive equation that accounts for the different responses of the liquid, semisolid, delta-ferrite, and austenite phases. Functions depending on temperature and composition are employed for properties such as thermal linear expansion. A contact algorithm is used to prevent penetration of the shell into the mold wall due to the internal liquid pressure. An efficient two-step algorithm is used to integrate these highly nonlinear equations. The model is validated with an analytical solution for both temperature and stress in a solidifying slab. It is applied to simulate continuous casting of a 120 mm billet and compares favorably with plant measurements of mold wall temperature, total heat removal, and shell thickness, including thinning of the corner. The model is ready to investigate issues in continuous casting such as mold taper optimization, minimum shell thickness to avoid breakouts, and maximum casting speed to avoid hot-tear crack formation due to submold bulging.

Juventus host Sassuolo on Sunday afternoon which should be technically built up as a 'top of the table clash'. Juventus expectedly are in first position as they an unanticipated 2nd place team, Sassuolo, who have already sprung a few surprises so far this season, and will hope to cause another major shock at 3:00pm local time on Sunday.
Everything has gone exactly to plan so far this season for Juventus, as they have registered three wins on the bounce. However, what hasn't gone to plan, is the fact that Ronaldo is yet to score his first competitive goal for the club.
Cristiano Ronaldo was rested by his national team Portugal over the international break, so he'll be fresh and ready to start scoring some goals for his club. It is not for the lack of trying though, as he has performed well in the three games so far, and has been stopped by several fantastic saves. Knowing the pressure that he is under, by the football media, and by himself, he knows he can't go through many more games without scoring.
A win for Juventus will keep them at top of the table, and already sending out a clear message of intent.
Surprise package Sassuolo had found themselves in 2nd place before the international break, surprising many pundits. With Kevin Prince-Boateng amongst their ranks, they have managed to pull off three impressive results so far this season.
They defeated Inter Milan on the opening day, showing their resilience by scoring a 99th minute penalty to salvage a draw in Cagliari and most recently stuck five past Genoa in an eight goal thriller.
After finishing mid table last season, they will aim to push for European places this time round. Despite getting off to a fantastic start, they know that they will be facing their most difficult challenge on Sunday, and they will be hoping they do not get a harsh reality check when facing Ronaldo, Mandzukic and co.
Sassuolo will want to forget the last time that they visited the Allianz Stadium, as they were demolished 7-0 just seven months ago. It comes as no surprise that Juventus has dominated the head to head between these two sides in the two team's small and recent rivalry.
The sides have faced each other 10 times, with Sassuolo winning on just one occasion back in 2015, and Juventus have won 8 out of the 10 meetings. If you want to dig deeper and look at just the record at the Allianz Stadium, then it draws for even more concern for Sassuolo, as they have lost on all five occasions, scoring once and conceding 16 times.
If you ignored the previous paragraph, then you may still be tempted to put some money on Sassuolo upsetting the odds here. They are at 12/1 to get a win or 11/2 to get a draw.
For Sassuolo to win 1-0 OR 2-1 OR 2-0 you can get prices of 14/1. However, if you look to their history in this fixture, and ignore their impressive start to the season, then you can only bet on Juventus to get the victory here (1/5).
Juventus are yet to humiliate any teams so far this season, and their repeat of another 7-0 in this fixture is unlikely, so betting on score lines such as 1-0 (15/2), 2-0 (11/2) or 3-1 (9/1) would be the way to go. Finally, let's look at odds for a certain player to get on the scoresheet. Ronaldo is a staggeringly low 4/7 to score at any time in the fixture. He used to score a goal a game at Real Madrid, but no goals in three games would suggest those odds are not kind enough – but who really thinks he will go four games without scoring?

Q: Why using multiversioned views? I don't see the reason why multiversioned views exist.
It's not possible to use joins like in normal views. And editing versions is possible by directly using the feature class itself. So when am I supposed to use them?

So if I understand:

When I query the feature class, I query the compressed DB. And the only way to access data in the versions, is using mv views.
Am I wrong?

A: The "multiversion" name is somewhat misleading.
Every versioned feature class has three tables in the database:

*

*The business/base table (this is the table that you could query directly)

*The additions table (something like A100)

*The deletes table (something like D100)

Any changes in the current version will be in the 'A' table and deletions in the 'D' table. Those changes stay in those tables until the database is compressed and they are moved to 'state 0.'
The multiversion view selects all of the records for the current version, merging the changes from all 3 tables. You could simply select data from the business table, but if your database hasn't been compressed lately, you could be missing changes (even if they've been posted).
To put it simply, you need to use multiversion views if you are querying data that is being edited frequently between database compressions.

A: As described in the documentation,

Multiversioned views incorporate database views, stored procedures,
  triggers, and functions to access a specified version of data in a
  geodatabase table using Structured Query Language (SQL).

Not everyone has a need to use them.  When you encounter a situation that
can only be resolved by accessing versioned data via SQL (outside of Desktop),
then you may better understand why they exist.

With its economy growing faster and producing wealth faster than any other region in the country, urban developers there usually do not need subsidies or planning dictates to be economically viable.

Why the need for regular roof maintenance? Beyond keeping you and your family safe and dry, regular maintenance helps keep the cost of your home upkeep down. Small issues can quickly and easily resolved at a minimum cost but if you let them linger, costs can go up exponentially. Learn more about Alpine Roof Care's roof cleaning, repair, replacement & maintenance services in Renton, WA to keep your expenses down.
You've heard it before, but we will say it again, roof cleaning needs to be a regular part of your roof maintenance. Why? A whole host of reasons from increasing your property value to ensuring your insurance will keep your home covered but one of the main reasons has to do with moss, algae and lichen. Not only are they unsightly but also can be incredibly dangerous to your home. Algae is a living organism that feeds off of the limestone filler used in roofing material and can begin to significantly damage the integrity of your roof. Left unchecked, the life span of your roof diminishes drastically leading to expensive, pre-mature repairs.
A leaky roof is more than a nuisance – a leak can mean that water is invading your home and potentially damaging various structural elements. If the leak is not attended to immediately, water could cause significant rotting in your home's structure – creating more costs later on than a simple repair now. Worried that your roof has become a leaking hazard and you're in need of a roof repair? Don't delay and make sure your roof issues don't become more than a leak! Alpine Roof Care roofing expert will come to your Renton home to assess the issues and provide an accurate, fair quote.
Older roof? The typical roof, if maintained properly, lasts about 20 to 25 years. After that time, a full replacement is recommended to ensure your home structure is properly cared for and can withstand the outside elements. Check your shingles… Are they losing granules? If so, that's a sure sign it's time to replace your roof. Extensive damage? It may be more cost efficient to replace your roof in the long run. Let us help come to you Renton home to determine the state of your roof, home structure and the action forward.

There is an unbelievable amount of records issued every single day, all over the world; and if you take 10 to 15 minutes every morning to read some webzines or blogs, you'll notice most of them are "good", "awesome", "revolutionary", "interesting". At the end of the day, if you have a "wish list", the thing would be huge, because you'd be adding like 15 new records every week.
Who cares anyway, since people seem to be downloading the music, not buying it, and when it comes to downloading, you can get 15 new records every day if you want!
And that's when the trouble starts, at least in my opinion: you listen to each record once or twice before switching to the next one. There is no pleasure whatsoever in that, just super fast consumption, which is EVERYTHING Metal bands used to denounce in their lyrics; remember?
Anyways, in that sick system, some bands seem to keep it the old way, totally focused on writing quality songs, the type of music that will stand the test of time, and the California-based power-trio High On Fire definitely are one of these high quality bands.
De Vermis Mysteriis ("Mysteries Of the Worm" in Latin), their new record, is one gem I've had for a while now, and one record I've been listening to a lot these past months.
High On Fire seems so brutal and "in your face" at first sight, but only to show unbelievable musical sophistication underneath. Look at the concept: some story from H.P. Lovecraft's Chtulu Mythos about the Christ's mysterious twin brother. The brother dies at birth to give his life to The Christ and becomes a time traveler. De Vermis Mysteriis is a sort of concept narrating the adventures of that twin.
Musically speaking, same story: the power of Kurt Ballou's production (member of Converge but also becoming a very highly appreciated producer) and Matt Pike's caveman voice shouldn't obscure the fact that these guys are geniuses. Every song is so perfectly balanced, filled with epic melodies, fantastic riffs and UNBELIEAVABLE rhythms. Really, the rhythm section here needs to be highlighted, as I've never heard anything like that: so instinctive and yet very technical. "Bloody Knuckles", "Fertile Green" and "De Vermis Mysteriis" are all about Kensel's drumming.
Of course, the other thing that needs to be highlighted is Matt Pike's fantastic performance. His singing just keeps on getting better, more melodic and more diverse. The song "King Of Days" is the perfect illustration of his unbelievable progress and of the infinite possibilities for this band to grow even stronger. And I'm not even going to mention this guy's guitar technique, as in my opinion he's one of the best guitarists out there, probably playing the heaviest and most powerful riffs in the world. The "Madness Of an Architect" main riff alone should easily convince you of that fact.
Last superpower High On Fire obviously possesses: the chemistry between the musicians, something really specific to power-trios, established upon years of common live shows. And that naturally gives them, as I just mentioned, lots of possibilities. De Vermis Mysteriis is such a diverse record; it's 100% Heavy, it's Metal Music at it's best, it's so epic and complete, it has the heavy riffs, the melodies and the traditional instrumental song "Samsara" lead by Matz's wild bass.
"Fertile Green" alone should make you run out and go grab this record.
Everyone knew High On Fire was a fantastic band, but these guys keep on getting better, and this new record is clearly their best to date. It's naturally one of 2012's best releases and probably my favorite this year.
And please, do think about all the records you read about being "awesome", "fantastic" or I-don't'-know-what-other-cool-stuff: they stand NO chance at all next to this masterpiece. It's time to review your standards my friends, because High On Fire have just set a brand-new scale of awesomeness!
Yath - this is a clear 10/10 !

education. The purpose of the study was to evaluate quality implications of learning infrastructure on secondary education in a County in Kenya. The objective of the study was to explore the quality implications of learning infrastructure on secondary education. The study employed the Production Function Theory. The study adopted sequential explanatory design that was employed within mixed methods approach. The target population constituted of 334 principals, 334 senior teachers and 9 education officers. The sample size constituted of 181 principals 181 senior teachers selected through stratified random sampling technique and 9 education officers selected by saturated sampling technique. Instruments for data collection were questionnaires, interview schedule. Reliability was determined by piloting through the split-half method. The reliability index for the instrument was 0.826. Quantitative data for the study was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis. On the concern about educational facilities; library had the highest Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient (PMCC) of (r = .832, p=.001), this was followed by a correlation of .800 for laboratory. This shows that they had a positive association in the model of educational facilities. Further; there were also positive correlations of .730, .716 and .715 for administration offices and water, administration offices and classroom, laboratory and classroom respectively. This study finding might assist in decision making to the Ministry of Education and all other stakeholders in education in implementing policies that might ensure provision of educational infrastructure for quality education. This study recommends that the Ministry of Education (MoE) and schools revisit their policies related to provision of safety measures and work towards their implementation.

On 6th of February, Dutch-Serbian Business Association held its first General Assembly, where the new board members were elected and where we set our goals for this year.
We were honored with the presence of His Excellency Henk Van Den Dool, who gave an introductory speech, and who is, as he stated, sort of a godfather to DSBA.
The meeting was held in a beautiful hall "Tzar Dusan" at Hilton Belgrade and we would like to thank to Mr. Nicolaas Houwert for being a perfect host and for making it possible that our Assembly could take a place in such an extraordinary and prestigious place, but also for giving us all a tour through the hotel, where, at the end, we could enjoy our drinks in Sky Lounge, with the most beautiful look on Belgrade.
Soon you will be able to see the pictures from the Assembly and here you can see a short video report, that was made by Serbian national television RTS.


Pak Davis Cup captain Rasheed Malik has said his team would start "love-one down" against India who boast of a demolition doubles team.
Pakistan Davis Cup captain Rasheed Malik has said his team would start "love-one down" against India who boast of a demolition doubles team in Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi.
Malik also said that although Pakistan were aware of their unimpressive track record against India in Davis Cup, his team would go all out for glory in the Asia/Oceania Zone Group I second round play-off tie at Mumbai's Brabourne Stadium from April 7 to 9.
"History is against us in this historic tie and frankly speaking we would be starting love-one down because of the champion Indian pair of Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupati.
"But whenever and whichever sport you play against India, the motivation and zest for glory is there. We will be travelling to India with an aim to scale the mountain this time," Malik said.
Pakistan team arrives in Mumbai on Monday, four days before the match to acclimatise and get used to the surface.
The Indian team is led by Paes, with Mahesh Bhupathi, Prakash Amritraj and Rohan Bopanna also in the ranks.
Unlike cricket, the traditional rivals have played just five times against each other with the last meeting being almost 33 years ago at Kuala Lumpur where India won 4-0, thanks to the legendary Vijay Amritraj and his brother Anand.

Senior Cameron Vaughn bruises his way to a reverberating win.
All the onlookers at Saturday's Homecoming games could understand the prowess and supreme dominance the Flint Hill varsity football team unleashed upon Maret in a resounding 47-7 victory. On the turf, there were zero combined goals in either soccer game, but that did not stop the momentum that Flint Hill football possessed against Maret.
The FHS football team proved its authority with a blocked punt on the first possession, following up with senior Cameron Vaughn's one-yard touchdown rush. After a punt, junior Justin Saleh and the rest of the offense commanded the field towards another rushing touchdown that extended a lead that would never be revoked.
Junior Yigit Guney believed that the fans were the main factor in creating an unstoppable force during the season's most memorable game.
In total, the offense combined for over 200 rushing yards, including 140 yards, and three touchdowns from Vaughn.
Vaughn has dominated defenses for 963 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns in only seven games.
Albeit the boys soccer team did not receive as much success as the aforementioned football team, sophomore Ethan Lloyd believes that this game is, nonetheless, a school-wide event.
"This game brings not only our sports teams together, but it also brings the school together as a whole, as we get to see all of our friends compete," said Lloyd.
Sophomore Jeremy Timblin believes that during homecoming games, players are more inspired to bring home a victory for their school.
Varsity boys soccer coach Chris Brown knew that despite the scoreless game, the team that it would continue to work towards a victory.
The girls soccer team, which also played to a scoreless draw, applied constant force on the Wilson High School goalkeeper, and were only denied a victory by a few sensational saves.
Girls varsity soccer coach Albert Ottati recognized the numerous fans that came out and supported the soccer team, while also noticing the effort that his team has contributed into each and every practice.
Senior Madison Crowe also felt that the surplus of fans gave the team more incentive to win and defend its home turf.
Flint Hill kicks off Homecoming against Maret.
Last Saturday's victory moves the football team into third place, behind only Potomac and Sidwell Friends. Flint Hill has a crucial game on Saturday against Sidwell Friends that will help to decide the order in the MAC. The boys soccer team, even without a victory, had recorded nine wins, and four losses going into the league tournament. They followed up the tie with a resounding four goal victory over St. James. The boys will play a difficult state tournament matchup at Norfolk Academy on October 31. The girls soccer team has achieved success too this season, winning eight games, and only losing five.


Pulcinella is a fantastic ballet by Igor Stravinsky based on an 18th-century play—Pulcinella is a character originating from Commedia dell'arte.
The ballet premiered at the Paris Opera on 15 May 1920 under the baton of Ernest Ansermet. The dancer Léonide Massine created both the libretto and choreography, and Pablo Picasso designed the original costumes and sets.
It was commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev.
The Four Seasons, Italian Le quattro stagioni, group of four violin concerti by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, each of which gives a musical expression to a season of the year. They were written about 1720 and were published in 1725 (Amsterdam), together with eight additional violin concerti, as Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione ("The Contest Between Harmony and Invention"). The Four Seasons is the best known of Vivaldi's works. Unusually for the time, Vivaldi published the concerti with accompanying poems (possibly written by Vivaldi himself) that elucidated what it was about those seasons that his music was intended to evoke. It provides one of the earliest and most-detailed examples of what was later called program music — music with a narrative element.


As a landmark year for the real estate industry draws to a close, it's time to review the major events of 2017 for Indian real estate and look at some upcoming trends in 2018.
For the real estate industry, 2017 was a watershed year, with the roll-out of game-changing policies such as GST and RERA.
Demonetization's impact started to taper off slightly, while real estate investment trusts (REITs) did not take off this year as expected. Affordable housing came out of the shadows and affordably-priced units have been selling like hot cakes in most cities.
REITs are set to provide investment opportunities to smaller investors next year. India's real estate markets are poised for growth in the medium-to-long term on the back of higher transparency and further consolidation. India's Tier 1 cities are expected to move up from their current 36th rank in JLL's 2018 Global Real Estate Transparency Index (GRETI) on the back of continued improvements in structural reforms, implementation of RERA and GST aimed at making India a modern economy.
Let's revisit the top trends in real estate in 2017 and examine what can transpire in 2018.
Vacancy levels remained largely unchanged through 2017, hovering at around 14% pan India. Select markets saw lower vacancy levels and are expected to see a further decline in 2018. Overall vacancy levels will likely hover around 15% during 2018. Very low vacancy rate and continued demand in the prominent office corridors of Bengaluru, Gurgaon, Hyderabad and Pune will help better rental appreciation in 2018.
Rents in these markets are expected to rise faster into the range of 6-8% (y-o-y), while select sub-markets such as suburbs of Mumbai, NH-8 in NCR and the SBDs of Chennai will also see similar rental movement. Attractive rents and healthy demand will positively influence rental appreciation in these markets. Pune and Chennai crossed their historic rental peaks in 2017 - and, given its market dynamics, Hyderabad will cross it in 2018.
The net office space absorption for 2017 will be at around 32 million square feet if all supply expected to come in this year actually enters the market. In 2018-19, Bengaluru is likely to see highest absorption of office space, followed by NCR, Mumbai and Hyderabad. The future supply is expected to be higher in 2018-19 in NCR and healthy in Hyderabad and Mumbai, while it will be lower than expected in Chennai and Kolkata.
At a pan-India level, total office stock across the seven major cities is forecast to reach around 600 million square feet by end of 2019. In alternate office (or co-working) spaces, around 1.2 million square feet got absorbed across major Indian cities in 2017. Co-working involves various individuals or start-ups sharing a common workplace environment. Companies can save as much as 15-20% by working in a co-working space, which provides an ultra-modern workplace along with plug-and-play amenities at par with those at Grade A offices.
New retail space of 6.4 million square feet got completed in 2017 – making this year the second-best after 2011 in terms of net absorption (i.e. after withdrawal of 4.7 million square feet from failed malls). Shopping mall stock is projected to grow strongly in next 3-4 years in these seven cities of India, as around 20 million square feet of supply is expected to come up by end of 2019. Out of this, around 11 million square feet of supply is expected in 2018 if completion delays are not accounted for.
As of now, the majority of stock is concentrated in Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Bangalore. However, the percentage share of other cities is expected to rise in next few years.
The supply-side analysis is critical for retail real estate investment, as it ensures that there is a pool of properties that can be considered for expanding portfolios, and also apprises about the prospective competitors in the long run.
Delhi-NCR saw eight malls being withdrawn in 2017 after 2016 when negative supply was first recorded in the history of Indian retail real estate. Prominent high street locations across India have limited availability of space, similar to premium malls. Fast fashion, F&B and entertainment operators again dominated leasing, with premium malls the main target for space. F&B operators remained the most active retailer category in India's major high streets, followed by apparel.
International brands have been entering the country and expanding in the past couple of years, and more are expected to look for quality space across the country. In the past few months, increased private equity interest in key leasehold retail assets has been observed across the country. The upcoming REITs platform has attracted the attention of private equity players, who are now gearing up to expand their retail portfolio across Indian cities. While rental values have seen marginal appreciation, numerous retailers have started preferring the revenue-sharing model over the fixed-rent model in the last few years.
2017 was also a painful year for real estate market, thanks to the implementation of GST, the establishment of the RERA act, and other hardships. Vinod Behl, the editor for Realty Plus, tracks the developments of the year. Read the story here.
The warehousing and industrial asset class, which has been seeing big-ticket investments in India, had also seen the biggest-ever investment deal in the country's logistics space in 2017. With JLL India as transaction partner, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) acquired a majority stake in IndoSpace, the warehousing and logistics real estate arm of Everstone Group. As part of the USD 500 million deal, CPPIB will acquire 13 industrial and logistics parks totalling 14 million square feet.
It is pertinent to note here that even though CPPIB is the biggest deal in this space so far, investors from other nations - especially Asian countries like China, Japan and Korea - have shown considerable interest in developing industrial projects in India. In the GST era, warehousing is emerging as an attractive asset class for investors and private equity players. The stock of modern and better-managed warehouses is increasing, and the trend is set to continue in 2018 as well.

Monday Talk with Fredrik Erixon on TTIP
condacted by Marco Trifuoggi
Monday Talk with Fredrik Erixon
The postponement of the vote on the T-TIP agreement in the European Parliament on June 10 marks a significant defeat for the supporters of the trade agreement. Despite both Merkel and Obama calling for a fast conclusions of the negotiations at the G7 summit, the Commission has already stated that an agreement will probably be reached only in 2016. Given its nature and the forthcoming elections (US in 2016, France and Germany in 2017, the UK referendum somewhere in between), is there still a case for T-TIP?
FE: There is still a case for TTIP, and it has not declined because of the turbulence in the European Parliament. TTIP has never been an initiative that would be closed fast, it was already from the start an initiative that would take 3-4 years to finish. And it is more important that the agreement that comes out of the talks is a good agreement rather than a hurried agreement.
The core of the issue in the Parliament was the ISDS, the Investor-State Dispute Settlement mechanism. While the Commission reassures the Member States that such provision does not represent a threat to regulatory interventions, many of its critics stress the significant costs in terms of compensation or settlement that may countries have o may have to sustain – i.e. the Vattenfal or the Philip Morris cases. Considering that the official estimate of the benefits of T-TIP (€120 billion) has been repeatedly challenged, does this form of investor protection outweigh its related costs? Is it still politically sustainable?
FE: No, ISDS was never part of the estimates that have been done on the potential benefits of TTIP, and the cases you mention are not about cases between the US and an European government, or the EU. ISDS has generally positive effects on investment flows, but most of the gains come from specific sectors where political patronage or political mismanagement is rampant. ISDS in TTIP is just one part of getting better ways to deal with disputes when they occur. It is better they are dealt with in a legal way than in a political way. Disputes would not go away if there is no ISDS at all in he world economy. They would just be treated differently – and, for most governments, more controversially.
In spite of Cameron's claims, many in Great Britain still fear that a successful T-TIP would mean the privatisation of large parts of its public sector, starting from the NHS, the National Health Service. However, while the lack of disclosure on the on-going negotiations prevents any real assessment on the matter, the CETA agreement with Canada, does actually contain a provision safeguarding this sector. Are public health services heading towards privatisation and, in a broader sense, is the European culture of welfare going to clash with its US counterpart?
FE: There is no universal trend in Europe as far as healthcare is concerned, but the simple fact is that a good part of the European healthcare sector is already organised by non-state entities, and in some countris – but not others – the role of non-state entities is increasing. I wished more countries would go in that trend, but this has nothing to do with trade policy. I have never in my life seen a trade agreement that demanded privatisation of certain state production, and TTIP will certainly not be such an agreement either.
According to the Commission, there is no official estimate of the benefit of T-TIP in term of job creation, beside a vague increase by "several million". However, the European Parliament acknowledges that different forecasts exists, counting potentially as much as 600,000 job losses, given the diverse labour markets. What is the most realistic scenario and how much can the European Global Adjustment Fund be effective in this regard?
FE: Freeing up trade and commerce certainly has positive effects on productivity and growth. There are more than a dozen studies estimating potential cost and benefits from TTIP with the help of various economic models of trade. They all come to the conclusion that TTIP would have positive economic effects. Then there is a study that is not using established models of trade to estimate the effects of TTIP. It comes to the conclusion that it would lead to an economic depression in Europe. But the study is not credible.
If an agreement on T-TIP is reached in 2016, what could be the overall impact on third countries in term of trade diversion, given that the World Bank has recently recognised that many developing countries are now facing a structural slowdown combined with the likely increase in the interest rate by the Federal Reserve by the end of this year?
FE: TTIP, like every other preferential trade agreement, will have trade diversion effects. They are not probably not substantial as trade diversion effects tend to be stronger when there is a singificant amount of trade released because tariffs have gone down. That'a not the case in TTIP as tariffs are already small and as the benefits will come form areas where TTIP-induced reforms also will include other exporters. Furthermore, TTIP will not change the fact that the world economy is moving eastwards to Asia. The pull power from Asia on today's economy is enormously strong.

World-class rope jumper skips across Iowa with Cirque du Soleil
December 15, 2012 By Matt Kelley
Kata Banhegyi
One of the world's best skippers will be in Iowa next week, but her abilities have nothing to do with being captain of a ship.
Twenty-seven-year-old Kata Banhegyi holds three world championship titles and five European titles for skipping rope.
The native of Hungary says she started skipping at age six. Her father was a physical education teacher and encouraged her to take the sport more seriously.
"In the competitions, if it's like a group competition, we have double-dutch and single rope and we have different events like speed and free style," Banhegyi says. "It's a little like gymnastics where you have a routine and people will give you scores."
She says the sport of skipping has suffered from something of an identity crisis.
"People really think about skipping as a childish game or just a little girl doing skipping in the schoolyard," Banhegyi says. "The years went by and it was becoming a little more popular. Actually, in America, there are lots of teams doing it and it's becoming more and more popular."

After developing an impressive repertoire of tricks, she joined the National Skipping Team in Hungary and at age 20, auditioned for the Cirque du Soleil in France and landed her dream job. She's been on the global tour with the Cirque for seven years now and loves the traveling and performing for big audiences.
"We have traveled already to Dubai, to Asia, to South America, to Europe and now we have been touring in the U.S. and Canada for two years," Banhegyi says. "I couldn't say how many countries I have been to (laughing) but it's a lot."
Banhegyi is performing a skipping solo that involves jumping six ropes at once in the Cirque du Soleil-Quidam, with three shows next week at the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City and four shows at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines.

Journalists in Moldova: Physical dangers and threats can take a psychological toll
Nadejda Roșcovan, Photojournalist and reporter, Jurnal TV
"I've been a photojournalist for twelve years, which has often put me in dangerous situations. I have been threatened and physically attacked and people have tried to knock my camera out of my hand. Once, a member of our parliament even threatened me. So far, these things have spurred me on to become even more persistent. But I know I can still learn how to deal emotionally with these events."
Olga Stavilă, Correspondent, Radio Moldova
"In the 20 years I've been in the business, I've often found myself in uncomfortable situations, often during election rallies. Just recently, I reported on a protest organized by one of the Moldovan parties. I was pushed around many times. At some point the police intervened and I took cover. It was very difficult to report independently under those conditions."
Viorica Tataru, Reporter, TV 8
"I've been through a lot: physical and verbal attacks, online and offline threats. The coverage of the Ukraine war has been really intense. After covering a protest event, I just recently got a message: 'At some point you're going to get a bullet in your head.' I decided to speak about it publicly and there is also an open police investigation. No journalist should have to die for reporting."
Irina Tabaranu, Journalist, Zonadesecuritate.md
"During an interview, a person suddenly started walking past us over and over again, looking aggressively in our direction while playing around with some object in his hand. The interviewee really panicked and started shaking. We also grew anxious and finally had to end the interview. In this case, unfortunately, we couldn't use the material afterwards."
Andrei Captarenco, Journalist and cameraman, TV8
"I was in Ukraine in 2014 - shortly after Russia invaded Crimea. When we arrived on the peninsula, our train was suddenly stopped. Our team was then taken to an unknown location, which was full of Russian soldiers. We were separated and interrogated individually for hours. At some point, we were released and we quickly made our way toward Ukrainian-controlled territory."

Installation process of a clean burning fire glass fireplace. Modern smoke free and environmentally friendly fireplace.
Step 5 - Here is the finished product with Blue Green Reflective and who would know that there is a 2" base of filler underneath?
Here is another customer self install using Bronze Reflective with Gold fire glass on top.
Step 3 - Add the Clear base with Evergreen Reflective on top.
Step 3 - Pour the fire glass in this particular fireplace design uses Clear base with Blue Green glass fire on top.
Step 3 - Here are the buner pipes being installed.
Step 3 - We then add our fire and glass. In this picture we are using 1/4" Ford Blue with Ford Blue Reflective on top.
Step 4 - Then we add the glass fire. In this fireplace we are using Azurlite, Clear, Blue Green, Blue Green Reflective, Ice Clear, Ice Blue fire glass.
EXAMPLE #9 An Outdoor Fire Pit Converted to a Fire Glass Firepit.
The pictures below are of a self install with 1/2" to 3/4" of crushed lava rock and a Clear base is used at the bottom of the burner ring.
Here we are showing you how to properly install a firepit using fireglass. We recommend starting with less and then you can always add more if you need to. As you can see we had our customer do the 1" method and it looks just fine. But keep in mind the less glass over the crushed lava rock - the more likely someone can disturb the top layer and then the lava rock could show through.
The pictures show how to install fireglass to your exsisting brick fireplace. Again we recommend using two inches of fireglass atop the crushed lava rock. This particular fireplace used Starfire fireglass and some black stove paint. The whole process after painting the fireplace took only 30 minutes.
The pictures below are using Ford Blue and Ford Blue Reflective fire glass.
Below are pictures of what most fireplaces look like (yuk)! We will be showing how to do a 3" install (all glass), a fireplace frame otherwise known as a Surround - painted black and a triple burner with Ice and Starfire fire glass.
Below is the same fireplace after some cleaning and some high heat stove paint addded. We then install a triple burner for our flames.
And now for our favorite part, the finishing touches. In this fireplace we installed an aluminum surround painted black. And of course our quality Starfire fire glass.
It's hard to see but we did install Ice on top of the Starfire. If you noticed, we had to pile a small mound in the front to cover the massive pipe connection. Did you even notice it in the first few pictures?


Ted Nugent isn't big on apologies (unless he screwed up hunting), so when he issued one Friday for his recent offensive language calling President Barack Obama a "subhuman mongrel," it was notable. But Nugent wasn't apologizing to Obama, or to people offended by the racist language; he was apologizing to the Republican politicians whose reputations his comments damaged, such as Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, for whom he's been campaigning. And he was apologizing for just being too real.
While Nugent's Texas Republican pals didn't seem to mind the comments so much ("that's just Ted," Governor Rick Perry told the Dallas Morning News), another Republican from Kentucky, Senator Rand Paul, called on him to apologize. Somehow, we're guessing this isn't exactly what Paul meant.
