Information about the railway workers since 1856.
The holiday camps for the children of rail operators began in the 1930s, first in Costa da Caparica and then in Praia das Maçãs. The success of this initiative lead the CP to support the opening of other camps. Such camps were managed by the Assistance Committee which would report directly to the Board of Directors.
One of these camps began operating in 1947 in Cassurrães, Beira Alta, in a private home adapted for the purpose, awaiting the opening of the building which would be built by CP in a land purchased from the City Council of Mangualde. Such building – built by the Road and Works Department – was inspired by the Praia das Maçãs camp project of the architect Cottinelli Telmo and opened on 26.07.1949, playing a role in the increase of the number of children and youths who benefited from this type of equipment.
Railway associations arose along with the construction and operation of railway lines in Portugal. At a time when the State did not provide solutions for the social protection of employees, the rail operators from the different companies developed initiatives for the defence of interests and social protection, resulting in the creation of mutual aid societies.
On 01.01.1924, the management of the "Companhia Portuguesa para a Construção e Exploração de Caminhos de Ferro" – responsible for the construction and operation of the Vale do Vouga lines – approved the regulation of the Retirement and Aid Fund. In addition to the retirement and survivors’ pension, the fund also granted to its members sickness benefits, primary and industrial education, creation of libraries, affordable renting, provision of essential goods whose value would be deducted monthly, allowance for funeral expenses, among others.
The several companies which built and operated railways in Portugal have been providing or supporting the construction of social structures for their workers, such as neighbourhoods, trainee schools, holiday camps, libraries, medical services, food stores, sports groups, among others. Such structures – directly funded by the companies or through the associated workers themselves – operated as a key element of social support, training/educational resources and life beyond the daily work.
On 22. 05.1925, CP, from the different approved projects, sent to the "Comissão de Plano de Obras Novas" the project for the construction of houses for the Operation Department staff, prepared by the Construction service.
The introduction of railways in the mid 19th century involved a concentration of unprecedented resources and the exercise of rail activity has resulted in the most diverse professional careers and positions. The companies assumed themselves as centres of great concentration of labour, with fixed-term staff and a high number of temporary and additional personnel. At an early stage, the companies hired female workers, being the level crossing guard one of the positions with more visibility.
On 24.01.1938, CP, continuing the policy of improvements granted to its workers, published the General Direction Ordinance no. 256 with measures of maternity protection, therefore granting childbirth benefits: 30 days leave to all fixed-term or additional female personnel; one year of consecutive work gave entitlement to an allowance equal to a third of the salary. To the level crossing guards, a 50$00 surcharge was added.
The Portuguese government authorised that a Special Retirement Fund for Railway Administrative Staff and Day Labour be set up in July 1899. It was managed and subsidised by the Board of Directors to ensure the same benefits as attributed to the other railway workers by the Caminhos de Ferro do Sul e Sueste Aid Fund.
The licence was issued on 31.01.1901 and altered its name to the Railway Retirement and Aid Fund and it took over the previous fund regarding liabilities to pay pensions to invalid members and their families, define retirement pensions of 25%, 50% and 75% of the wages of the different workers and the Board of Directors could even award the workers full retirement pay to those who “deserved it because of their relevant services”.
Railway Associations arose along with the construction and operation of railway lines in Portugal. Even though the railway workers in the different countries up and down the country had very similar social benefits, they were not always united in the defence of interests and social protection, which led to the appearance of various mutual aid associations. The articles of association of the first railway mutual aid society were approved on 18.06.1872 for the Caminhos-de-ferro a Sul do Tejo Workers’ Humanitarian Association, based in Barreiro. The association only accepted male workers from the Caminhos-de-ferro do Sul e Sueste aged between 15 and 45 who were fit to work.

Medicare Problems and Solutions
Medicare along with military spending are the two biggest deficit busters facing America today. With that being said you very rarely hear people complain about the service they receive through Medicare, which is a good thing.
However, advances in medicine and medical procedures are simply driving the cost of health care higher and higher year after year at a rate that is simply unsustainable.
The biggest problem with the current health care system in America is that it is a for-profit system run by for-profit Wall Street driven companies, who care more about making money than providing affordable health care. Unless this changes, health care cost will continue to rise year after year until the system fails.
Solution: A single-payer "Medicare for All" system is simply the best and most afforable way to fix all the health care related issues in America. Having a for-profit health care system will never allow this country to get a grasp on escalating health care cost.
Mixing health care and Wall Street is always going to lead you to a more expensive and less efficient health care system. This is because profit and greed will always trump morality.

2025 Sale on the Way!
Breaking news from the spy photographers – a new French car could be set to debut, potentially shading Peugeot’s mysterious prototype. Reports suggest this vehicle will replace the current Renault Scenic, potentially as soon as 2024 and slotting above the Megane E-Tech in its lineup.
At the Peugeot E-Lion Day held in late January, the French automobile manufacturer presented a prolific range of electric vehicles. Set to be rolled out alongside the E-208 and E-308 hatches and SW wagon, two crossover models – E-3008 and E-5008 – will be released too. While the former is due to debut in the second part of 2021, our agents in the Arctic speculate that the latter’s prototype has already been spotted. This more sizable SUV should arrive by 2025.
Though only some preliminary glimpses have been attained, the trial-vehicle appears to bear the manufactured body parts. The truncated overhangs signal a devoted electric frame, plausibly the STLA Middle that Peugeot has firmly declared will prop up the E-3008. This architecture will permit a peak range of 435 miles (700 kilometers) for the mid-sized model and will back a two-motor formation for four-wheel drive.
Recent years have seen a plethora of electric cars being showcased, and the E-5008 crossover is no exception. The flush door handles make for improved aerodynamics, while small cutouts in the camouflage suggest the vehicle features split headlights. Better packaging enabled by its tailored EV platform contributes to a less clunky appearance than the current ICE-powered 5008.
It could be somewhat smaller overall, although the wheelbase is set to be extended, generating more room in the interior. In addition, its seven-seat configuration will make it distinct from the E-3008, as is comparatively the case with the current model. Concerning battery size, mother firm Stellantis has declared that STLA Medium will contain batteries with ranges of 87-104 kWh.
Regarding the design, the E-5008 will sport a drastically distinct appearance, drawing heavily on elements of the Inception model revealed in January at Consumer Electronics Show. Peugeot is taking up a new styling aesthetic as well as renewing its i-Cockpit, meaning the inner workings of the car are also in for main modifications.
The brand-new 5008 will certainly not be just electric powered, as Peugeot is intending to provide petrol and/or diesel versions too, however possibly merely in the shape of mild hybrids or plug-in hybrids. By the year 2030, all models marketed in Europe are projected to be full electric vehicles.

About 50 protesters peacefully demonstrated against racial injustice and other issues inside the Publix grocery store Tuesday night on Miller Street in Winston-Salem. They also shut down four city streets around two shopping centers during their march. Protesters then went to the home of Winston-Salem Mayor Allen Joines for the second night in a row.
Protesters halted in the busy Five Points intersection at Stratford and Country Club roads and stopped traffic in the area. At one point on Stratford Road near Thruway shopping center, a driver in a black SUV rolled toward the crowd and bumped a demonstrator.
Several police officers converged and spoke with the driver. Moments later, the driver was allowed to leave the area, though protesters called for his arrest. A police corporal told the demonstrators that officers "are not in the habit of arresting people and putting them in handcuffs for traffic violations."
The protester said she wasn't injured and was undecided about filing a police report.
During their earlier protest inside of Publix, some demonstrators sat on the floor and loudly chanted slogans such as "Black lives matter," "No Justice, no peace —defund the police," "No cops, no KKK and no racist U.S.A," "Say Her Name, Breonna Taylor" and "We haven't received justice yet, George Floyd."
The protesters' chants reverberated throughout the store.
Floyd, 46, died May 25 after a Minneapolis police officer put his knee on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes. Derek Chauvin, who was fired, has been charged with second-degree murder, among other offenses. Three other police officers at the scene, who also were fired, have been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
Breonna Taylor, 26, and her boyfriend were in bed in Louisville, Ky., when three armed police detectives broke through their front door three months ago. Gunfire erupted, killing Taylor, a black woman.
Employees at Publix locked the doors of the supermarket 27 minutes after the protesters entered the store. Many customers guided their carts around the demonstrators.
Three black employees of Publix also joined the demonstration. They said many black employees are treated unfairly by customers at the store. One employee, Brad Johnson of Winston-Salem, said that a store manager sent him home before he completed his shift on June 9 because he wore a white mask inscribed with the saying, "Black Lives Matter."
Protesters confronted Glen Fogler, a store manager about this incident during their demonstrators. Fogler told the protesters that the employee's mask didn't adhere to the store's dress code for its employees.
A demonstrator then said to Fogler, "We will not shop here anymore."
Todd Jones, the chief executive officer at Publix, issued a statement amid the recent protests against police violence and racial injustice.
"Like you, I’m saddened and unsettled by any racial injustice or events that divide our country," Jones said in part. "There are many emotions we are feeling — fear, anger, anxiety and impatience. Now, more than ever, is the time for us to listen with open hearts and to lead with empathy — toward each other, toward our customers and toward our communities.
"At Publix, we reject racism and discrimination of any kind," Jones said.
After the protesters demonstrated for nearly 50 minutes inside the store, they left the supermarket. The demonstrators then walked about three miles on Miller Street, Stratford Road, Oakwood Drive and Cloverdale Avenue. Police officers blocked other streets and parking lots driveways to protect the protesters from the traffic.
About 40 protesters then drove to the city's western section and arrived about 9 p.m. in front of Joines' home
The protesters also demanded justice for Charles Moody, a 27-year-old black man, who was arrested Saturday at Cooks Flea Market on misdemeanor charges of resisting an officer and second-degree trespassing. Moody said that Deputy Troy Curry, who is white, used excessive force when Curry arrested him. A short video of the incident has gone viral on social media.
Joines referred to Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough's news conference Monday in which the Kimbrough said Curry didn't use excessive force in arresting Moody.
Moody's attorney, James Quander of Winston-Salem, issued a statement late Tuesday night on Moody's behalf. Quander said that Curry did use excessive force when he arrested Moody, and that Moody was injured in the incident and was treated at Forsyth Medical Center.
Quander said that his law firm will investigate the incident.

The DNA base adduct, 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OHGua), has been reported to be a key biomarker relevant to carcinogenesis and cellular oxidative stress important in tumor promotion. Although investigators often report artificially high levels of 8-OHGua in DNA samples that have been exposed to phenol solutions and/or air during processing, few quantitative results are available. We show that routine phenol-based DNA purification procedures can increase 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels 20-fold in samples that are exposed to air after the phenol is removed from the solutions. Surprisingly, air exposure alone accounts for a significant portion of this increase (4-fold) when compared to dG or DNA samples that have been solubilized in buffers purged with nitrogen. Most importantly, phenol treatments of DNA are shown to sensitize DNA to 8-OHdG formation by subsequent exposures to air. The sensitization of DNA occurs even though extensive dialysis is used between phenol treatment and enzymatic DNA digestion. Alternate procedures, including chloroform:isoamyl-alcohol extractions, also yield air-sensitive DNA samples. Other artifacts of organic extraction prior to air exposure include alterations in DNA base ratios after nuclease digestions. Overall, these results strongly suggest that studies of 8-OHdG in carcinogenesis should avoid dry conditions, such as lyophilization followed by exposure to air, and that all four of the bases should be monitored before 8-OHdG concentrations are normalized by undamaged deoxynucleoside concentrations. Failure to heed these precautions can lead to 2- to 20-fold overestimates of 8-OHdG in target tissues or in vitro models.


Sir Peter Davis, chief executive of Sainsbury, may quit if he cannot boost sales at the supermarket chain over the next six months.
City shareholders will demand he resign if there is no marked improvement by the spring of next year. And Davis will agree to go rather than step up as chairman as planned in 2004 if he loses the support of the board and the Sainsbury family, which speaks for 38 per cent of the shares, according to sources.
'This whole situation will get very interesting next year; Sainsbury's problems are probably not the fault of one man, but, as with the English football team, there is always a moment when the coach must go to give the side a fresh chance,' said one shareholder.
When Davis took over at Sainsbury's, he said that he needed three years to improve the company's fortunes, but his time is up in March. 'If we get to his own deadline and there is no sign that things are getting better, I am sure that he will rethink his position,' said an investor.
On Friday, Sainsbury revealed that like-for-like sales had fallen in the second quarter. The company's trading position is in marked contrast to rivals, who have notched up big increases in revenue. This year, Sainsbury lost second position to Asda, while Tesco has raced ahead of the pack. Even the much smaller Morrison recorded a 9 per cent first-half sales boost.
Rumours abound that Sainsbury could become a takeover target for retailing experts Philip Green and Allan Leighton.


Valves are indispensable components of fluid systems, allowing for the regulation and control of fluid flow and pressure. Solenoid valves in particular are a type of electrically controlled valve, allowing for remote control for opening and closing. Solenoid valves are extremely useful, allowing for more complex piping systems that can utilize automatic control to both create an ease of operation, as well as increase safety of workers for plumbing systems that are in hazardous areas.
A typical solenoid valve consists of two parts, those being the valve body and the solenoid. The solenoid is a type of electromagnet, and an inductive coil is wrapped around an iron core at the plunger. When not induced with electricity, the solenoid valve will remain in a de-energized state in which it will remain open or closed based on its default configuration. When an electrical current is passed through the solenoid, the coil begins to produce a magnetic field. With the magnetic field, the valve plunger begins to be attracted, and it overcomes the force of the spring that maintains its default positioning. If the valve is a closed solenoid valve, the valve plunger is lifted to open up the seal of the orifice. On the other hand, energizing the solenoid may also be used to close open solenoid valves by forcing the plunger down through magnetism.
Due to their ability, solenoid valves are utilized in a diverse set of applications ranging from low to high pressure systems, as well as small and large flow rate systems. Depending on the need, different powered valves may be implemented, each providing the ability to open, close, dose, distribute, or mix fluids within a piping system. Across different powered valve components, the two most common solenoid valve types are 2-way and 3-way valves. The 2-way solenoid valve contains two ports which serve as the inlet and outlet. To ensure that the valve is installed correctly, most will display a visual that indicates the direction of flow. 3-way solenoid valves feature a third connection port, generally allowing for two states or positions for operation. By energizing a 3-way valve, fluids can be switched between two separate circuits to either open, close, distribute, or mix fluids.
Beyond the physical configuration of solenoid valves, there are also various working principle types. Direct acting solenoid valves are the most simple, and they often come in the form of 2-way valves that allow for opening and closing of orifices by energizing the solenoid. The maximum amount of flow and pressure through the valve is dictated by the diameter of the valve orifice as well as the amount of magnetic force generated by the solenoid. Because of this, most direct acting solenoid valves are reserved for applications in which there is a small flow rate.
Indirect acting solenoid valves, often referred to as servo or pilot operated, are those that use a pressure differential of the medium in order to open and close the valve orifice. Within such valves, a rubber membrane acts as a diaphragm, and a small hole within the membrane allows for the medium to enter the upper compartment of the valve. When the solenoid of the valve is energized, the orifice of the pilot is opened, and the pressure above the membrane begins to decrease. Once a pressure difference on each side of the membrane increases to a certain limit, the membrane lifts and the flow of fluids is permitted.
Semi-direct acting solenoid valves utilize principles of both indirect and direct acting valves, permitting a high flow rate and operation from zero bar. While the valve features a membrane as well, the solenoid plunger is directly attached to the membrane, allowing for it to be lifted when the solenoid is energized. As the membrane is lifted, a second orifice is also opened by a plunger, providing a larger orifice to increase pressure for optimal flow.
The last major type of valve is the 3-way direct acting solenoid valve, and they feature three ports for mixing and diverting fluids. Within such solenoid valves, one port is open and one is closed by a plunger, forcing fluids to flow only in the desired direction. Once energized, the plunger forces the change of blockage, allowing for a diversion of fluid direction. Depending on the configuration and need, a 3-way direct acting solenoid valve may be for diverting, mixing, or universal direction.

How can I tell the age of a Danfoss VLT Drive from their serial number?
Quantum Controls supply thousands of Danfoss Drives into the UK market every year and are an Official Service Partner for Danfoss Drives.
A range of information can be found in the serial number of a Danfoss VLT Drive including; the software number, the place of manufacture and, the year and week of manufacture.
See below for clarification of what the serial number of Danfoss VLT Drives supplied by Quantum tells you about the age of the drive.
If you take the S/N and convert it to the following letters XXXXSSGWWY
XXXX is the number drives of that part number produced
SS is the software number
G is the place of manufacture
WW is the week in the year
Y is Year ie 0 = 2020 or an 8 is 2018
For example, for the below drive to get the year of manufacture;
0006 refers to the number drive of that part number produced
22 refers to the software number
H refers to the place of manufacture
38 refers to the week in the year of manufacture
0 refers to the year of manufacture
So, the year of manufacture would be 38th week of 2020.

The trend of 2019 was described as, the year of wage theft and underpayment, but a new year has welcomed some fresh changes for legislation and employee award standards. Tracy Angwin, CEO of the Australian Payroll Association said, “the breath of failures reported in 2019 highlighted just how difficult the employee award system can be”. Angwin also said, it is crucial that businesses hire qualified professionals to deal with payroll and changes to government legislation and employee awards.
Changes for this year include:
- Super updates
From 1 January 2020, employers are now required to pay super on an employee’s gross rate, including on any salary they have sacrificed.
- Salary sacrificing contributions
January 1 marked the end of employers utilising a salary sacrifice to make up all, or part, of their compulsory SG contributions. It ensures that any proportion of an employee’s salary that is ‘salary sacrificed’ cannot be put into a super fund as part of the mandatory 9.5 per cent in super contributions that should be contributed by the employer.
- Working hours update
In March some awards (22) will be changed with regard to working hours. From March 1, for the affected awards, employers will need to notify employees in writing of their annualised salary and their maximum ordinary working hours outside the 38-hour week.
- More consistent record-keeping
Under the new employee award rules, employers must keep records of the start finish and break times of all workers, to ensure no excess hours are worked outside of overtime stipulations.
Also coming 1 March, employers will be required to pay employees for overtime worked if their salary doesn’t cover it.
If an employer finds that a worker received less pay on their annualised wage agreement than if they were paid under the award, they must pay the difference.
Any shortfalls must be paid to them within 14 days. This process needs to occur every 12 months, even upon the termination of a contract.
- Superannuation guarantee amnesty
In November, the superannuation guarantee amnesty passed the House of Representatives and has now passed on to the Senate.

Dick Clark Suffers Stroke in Los Angeles
The former American Bandstand host, 75, is hospitalized following a "minor stroke"
Entertainment personality and longtime American Bandstand host Dick Clark has been hospitalized after suffering a stroke, his spokeswoman said Wednesday.
Clark, 75, who is in a Los Angeles-area hospital, said he’s recovering and expects to be up and around soon.
“The doctors tell me I should be back in the swing of things before too long so I’m hopeful to be able to make it to Times Square to help lead the country in bringing in the New Year once again,” said Clark in a statement issued to PEOPLE.
Clark has been hosting the New Year’s Rockin’ Eve special from Times Square for the last 32 years.
The famously youthful Clark is one of music and TV’s most enduring figures, having helped bring rock music to the mainstream with his televised dance party American Bandstand, which began in 1952 and helped promote the careers of Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Chubby Checker.
When asked how he stays up on current trends, Clark told PEOPLE last April: “You try to stay on top of what’s going on … I read magazines and I listen to the radio all the time.”
Otherwise, he said, “I’m not doing it different. I’m doing the same act.”

A vision foretold his tribe’s doom. Is the flame-haired beauty the trickster or his true love?
Lucinda Glenforest’s father, a general who’d fought in the Indian Wars, taught his flame-haired daughter to out-shoot even the best men the military could put up against her. When Luci’s sister is seduced and abandoned, it’s up to Luci to defend her honor in a duel. Although she wins, the humiliated captain and his powerful family vow vengeance. The sisters’ only hope is to flee and hide until their father returns from his overseas mission. Out of money, Luci hatches a plan to disguise herself as a boy and use her sharpshooting skills in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.
The chief of the Assiniboine tribe has a terrifying vision, that someone called the deceiver, or trickster, spells doom for the children of his tribe. He enlists Charles Wind Eagle to join Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, in hopes of appealing to the President of the United States for help, and to find and stop the deceiver. When Wind Eagle is paired with a girl whom he knows is disguised as a boy, he believes she might be the deceiver. Still, she stirs his heart in ways he must resist, for he has a secret that can never be told, nor ignored. And Luci can never forget that her father would destroy Wind Eagle if she were to fall in love with him.
Forced to work together, they can’t deny their growing attraction. Will Luci and Wind Eagle find a way through the lies to find true love? Or will they be consumed by the passion of deception and slander?
Warning: A sensuous romance that might cause a girl to join the rodeo in order to find true love.

The word wild is not often used to describe a public library, yet the kids who attend this year's TD Summer Reading Club at the West Perth Public Library will have the chance to both go a little wild and maintain their reading comprehension skills over the two-month break from school.
Reading club leaders Karen Louwagie, a substitute teacher for the Huron Perth Catholic District School Board and a past Summer Reading Club leader, and Claire Heckman, a substitute teacher for the Avon Maitland District School Board and a past counselor at Camp Galbraith, have established this year's overarching theme as anything and everything wild.
“Our overall theme is wild for the entire summer – for the eight weeks that we're doing the program, that's going to be our large theme – but every single week the theme changes a little bit,” Heckman explained. “So (the weekly themes include) wild animals, we have wild treats and yummy eats, we have born to be wild, and whole wild world.”
“Each week we do a craft and we have different stories that we read and we do different games and activities outside if we can, inside if we can't, and we like to take them down to the park, sometimes we'll go to the splash pad. Hopefully we have some guests coming in this summer, too,” Louwagie said, adding that on July 29 members of the Stratford Symphony Orchestra will be in Mitchell to give a short presentation to the kids and anyone else who would like to attend.
The TD Summer Reading Club began on July 4 and will run each week until Aug. 26. To keep the activities interesting and relevant to different-aged kids, there are five reading programs – the Adventure program takes place from 9:30-11:30 a.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays for kids aged four and five; the Sillies program, also for kids aged four and five, is held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30-3:30 p.m.; on Mondays and Thursdays the Escapees program takes place from 9:30-11:30 a.m. for kids aged six to eight; the Animals program, also for kids aged six to eight, is on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:30-3:30 p.m.; and the Wildebeests program for kids nine and up is held Wednesdays from 9:30-11:30 a.m. and Fridays from 1:30-3:30 p.m.
The cost of having your child attend the TD Summer Reading Club at the West Perth Public Library is $3 a day, $5 a week, or $35 for the whole summer. The cost of enrolling a second child in one of the reading programs for the summer is $30 and the cost of enrolling three or more children in a program is capped at $70 for the entire summer.
“It's a great way to keep their reading up throughout the summer, it encourages them to sign out books and keep up with that so that when they go back to school in the fall they're not falling behind,” Louwagie said.
“It also helps to establish a love for books, because throughout (a kid's) life they're going to be reading books – when they go to high school and university, they're forced to read books – so if you can establish a love of books and literature at a younger age, it's going to help them throughout their lives,” Heckman added.

Another Saturday, another sign Australia’s property price boom is well and truly over – for now, at least. Only half the properties that went to auction in Sydney and Melbourne on the weekend found buyers. Australian property owners are waking up to the mother of all housing debt hangovers. That’s what happens, you see, when you go on an unprecedented credit binge, fuelled by cheap credit and loose lending standards.
We’re just starting to realise the extent of the binge that has occurred over the past half decade. Sure, some increase in borrowing was to be expected when interest rates fell to record lows. But systemic issues in the way debt has been sold to Australians have begun to emerge.
The banking royal commission is proving well worth the cost to taxpayers, exposed myriad problems in Australia’s home loan market. These include mortgage brokers with a direct financial incentive to push ever bigger loans and repeated failures by banks to comply with “responsible lending” laws designed to ensure borrowers are not sold debts they can’t afford.
As many witnesses to the royal commission have testified, Australians have a inbuilt tendency to assume that if a bank is willing to write them a loan, they are – by definition – able to fund it. We still think of banks as those trusted institutions of country town high streets – diligent gentlemen doling out wise approval or disapproval of one’s financial position.
Many Australians have simply failed to fully grasp the transformation in the banking sector since the privatisations of the late 1980s. Banks today are no longer staid institutions, but publicly listed institutions with a duty – first and foremost – to maximise returns for their shareholders.
Of course, writing too many loans that people can’t afford will ultimately destroy shareholder value, if it all goes bad. But a little bit of mis-selling here and there? A little pushing of the boundaries of responsible lending to feed Australian’s obsession with homeownership? Sure.
Instead of disciplined scrutiny of borrower’s financial accounts, banks have been found to have loan approval processes that rely excessively on so-called “benchmarks” of living expenses, with little - and sometimes no - attention paid to household’s actual costs, or their overall debt profile.
As the head of Australia’s banking regulator, Wayne Byres, said in a speech last week, Australians make poor “financial historians”. That’s to be expected. Relying on Aussies to estimate their own expenses when asking for a loan is a bit like asking a problem gambler to provide themselves with a credit reference. Australians are essentially gambling addicts when it comes to housing. Given the chance, we'll put everything on property.
What is not expected is that the banks themselves should prove such poor interrogators of their potential customers. The result is one of the highest debt-to-income ratios in the world and a ramp-up in property prices which has priced many out of the market.
So, are we heading for a big property bust up? It’s unlikely. The entire system – from the structure of our tax system to the role of our regulators – is designed to support and even encourage our addiction.
As soon as prices start to turn, authorities delay interest rate hikes and or loosen lending regulations. The banking regulator last week basically declared "mission accomplished" on its measures to cool excessive demand for investment and interest-only loans. Byres basically conceded the regulator had been asleep at the wheel initially, as competitive pressures among lenders manifested themselves not in lower prices or better products for consumers, but laxer lending standards.
Processes have been improved, we are told, but not before Australians went on a huge credit binge.
It remains to be seen what recommendations will come from the royal commission when it delivers its preliminary recommendations in two months time.
The commission is likely to recommend higher standards for lending, including more comprehensive interrogation of households' actual living expenses. Banks will decry this as “red tape”, but stricter lending will bring practices closer to what households would assume is actually happening. Separately, new comprehensive credit reporting laws are set to make it harder for banks to ignore – and customers to fail to disclose – total debts.
Make no mistake – this clamp down on lending will make it harder for young buyers to get into the market.
But it's time Australians began to curb the urge to property splurge. Excessive leverage into property may fuel higher bank profits, but it is a zero-sum game for society.
Stricter lending standards will add to a period of uncertainty for homeowners, as they wait to see how much of the gains of recent years were just on paper, and how much can be sustained.
In a period of weaker wages growth, many will be acutely aware they have shouldered themselves with debts that, with the benefit of hindsight, will be hard to service.
House prices are unlikely to collapse, given continued support from an ageing population and migration.
Indeed, households can expect interest rates to stay lower for longer, given every rate hike from here will pack more of a punch, given higher indebtedness.
The end result for policy makers is that the task of getting interest rates back to “normal” levels and reloading the monetary policy canon to deal with future economic shocks has been made all the more difficult.
That is particularly concerning at a time when the leader of the free world is unravelling the international rules-based system with an intensifying trade war.
Australia’s property binge looks to have ended just in time. The real test for policymakers will be to avoid it happening again.

Accident investigators are blaming a fatal accident on Interstate 80 early Wednesday morning on a tractor-trailer rig which was traveling with three deflated trailer tires and no rear trailer lights
The State Police say 55 year-old Karl Holder, from Lansing, Michigan died after his minivan slammed into the rear of the trailer. The incident happened around 3:30 AM Wednesday in the eastbound lanes of I-80 between the Grove City and Barkeyville exits. The highway was closed and traffic was detoured until early afternoon.
Holder was pronounced dead a little more than an hour after the crash at Grove City Medical Center.
Troopers identified the driver of the tractor-trailer unit as 55 year-old Wilfredo Suarez, from Clifton, New Jersey, and say their investigation into the fatal crash is continuing.


Kevin McCarthy, you are a fraud. Back before Donald Trump was elected, the Washington Post reported you to have said, “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump.” Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.
House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., immediately interjected, stopping that recorded conversation of June 15, 2016, from further exploring McCarthy’s assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.
Now you state that this Nunes memo needs to be seen by America because it proves the investigation into Russia is a plot against the man you thought Putin was paying. You buy Trump special candies, whisper in his ear, remind him of your policies, and hang out at Mar-a-Lago. I smell a rat.
Put America first! Russia tampering with our election, with or without connections to Trump, needs to be investigated. You are purposely distracting from it. Come clean. Has your pal, the president, done something wrong? I agree with John McCain. You guys are doing Putin's job for him. And to remind you, Devin Nunes is a questionable source at best, and Carter Page has been involved with Russia since 2013. So FISA sounds pretty good on him. But I'm sure you know that.

- MS Dhoni's wife, Sakshi, tweeted about frequent power cuts in Ranchi
- "No electricity for past 5 hours today," she wrote on Thursday
- Her tweet found support from other residents of Ranchi
Cricketer MS Dhoni's wife, Sakshi Dhoni, took to Twitter on Thursday to complain about power cuts that Jharkhand's capital city Ranchi experiences "every single day". MS Dhoni and Sakshi live in the cricketing legend's hometown. On Thursday, Sakshi voiced her displeasure about the frequent power cuts in the city and wrote: "People in Ranchi experience power cuts every single day. It ranges from 4 to 7 hours daily."
She said that at the time of writing the tweet, there had been no electricity for the past five hours despite fine weather and no festivals being celebrated.
"There has been no electricity for past 5 hours today that is 19th September 2019.
"There is no reason for power cut today as the weather is good and there is no festival," she added. "I hope the problem is addressed by the concerned authorities."
Her tweet complaining about the power cuts has been 'liked' over 2,400 times. It has also found support from many Twitter users - some of whom tagged the Chief Minister of Jharkhand and other authorities.

Oliver to seek re-election as sheriff
When he ran for sheriff in 2010, Shannon Oliver told voters he wanted to be ‘your sheriff, not the sheriff,’ of Franklin County.
Oliver recently announced he will seek a second term, pledging to continue the open lines of communication with Franklin County citizens.
“The only way to have a good law enforcement agency is to have communication and cooperation with the public,” Oliver said.
“I want the people of Franklin County to be confident if they make a complaint or concern to my department, it will be looked into. I can’t always promise the result will be what they expect or want, but I’ll do everything within the bounds of the law to resolve their concerns.”
Oliver, 38, is the son of Silas and Annette Oliver of Tharptown. He is married to the former Tange Howard. They have three children: Johnna, 14, Sterlyn, 10, and Brannon, 7, who attend Belgreen School.
The Olivers make their home in Belgreen. Tange is employed by the U.S. Postal Service as a substitute rural carrier associate.
Four years ago, Oliver pledged that if elected, he would emphasize drug enforcement in Franklin County and would develop a website to provide important information to residents along with transparency of what the FCSD was doing, and significant progress has been made on both counts.
Along with the Russellville Police Department, Oliver organized the Franklin County Drug Unit, a multi-agency task force designed to work and follow drug cases and complaints across Franklin County.
Oliver hopes to see the task force eventually expand to additional agencies in the county.
In regard to a website, citizens now have at their fingertips access to updates, press releases, inmate rosters, a sex offender registry and other updates at www.franklinsheriff.org.
“It’s a work in progress,” Oliver said.
“We’re pleased to have the site up and working, but our goal is to continue building and expanding it. I hope it will remain an important asset to the community.”
Oliver’s law enforcement career began in 1993 when he was hired by the FCSD as a jailer/dispatcher. In 1995, he was promoted to deputy sheriff. Oliver served as the Franklin County Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) officer from 2001-02. He was promoted to sergeant in 2002 and remained with the department until 2005 when he was hired by the Russellville Police Department. Oliver advanced to the rank of captain and remained with the RPD until his election as sheriff in 2010.
The responsibilities of an Alabama sheriff are varied, and include civil duties pursuant to the Alabama Constitution and administrative obligations within his or her department. But Oliver hasn’t forgotten the law enforcement role of the county’s chief law enforcement officer.
“I guess I consider myself a working sheriff,” Oliver said.
“I come out and work at night with our deputies. When they’re backed up on calls, I’ll come out and answer calls. The heart of law enforcement is protecting and serving the community and that’s part of my day-to-day responsibilities.
“I’m on the job daily keeping up with every aspect of the agency and what’s going on within it. I keep my certification and training current so I’m able to handle all aspects of the job.”
As he travels to work daily, Oliver is reminded of the obligation he has to each Franklin County citizen.
“When I was elected, people put their faith and trust in me and that means a lot to me,” he said.
“It’s something I take very seriously and that will never change. I want people to feel when I talk to them that I’m not only their sheriff but one of them. I have a family here in Franklin County and share the same concerns about our community they do.”
As our society changes, so must law enforcement. Officers face many different challenges today from when Oliver began 20 years ago.
“Times are constantly changing,” he said.
“The main thing is to continue building upon what we started. This is a changing society and technological advances change our world daily. Our job as law enforcement is to make sure we remain trained and prepared to deal with those changes.”
As Oliver prepares for the 2014 campaign, his message will remain consistent with what he told Franklin County voters four years ago.
“When I ran the first time, I told folks I want to be your sheriff, not just the sheriff, of Franklin County,” Oliver said.
“Franklin County is more than just a place. The heartbeat of Franklin County is our citizens and I’m working for each of you every day. My time is your time and that obligation is to every citizen.”
Oliver encourages citizens who want to contact him to call 256-332-8811.

Author: Mahasweta Devi
Publisher: Sahitya Akademi
ISBN/UPC (if available):
This book depicts the life story of this great novelist, who is like a historiographer, narrating the saga of the rise, fall, continuation and resurrection of a people.
Tarasankar Bandyopadhyay along with Bibhutibhushan and Manik are considered three milestones in the history of the post-Tagore Bengali novel with the singular exception of Sarat Chandra. But it is not possible to make an assessment of Tarasankar comparing him to the other two writers. The three are pointedly different from each other.
What is Tarasnakar's achievement as a novelist? He is not an analyst of the inner sickness eating the heart of the social structure as Manik Bandyopadhyay is. He has no point of similarity with Bibhutibhushan either. The art of Bibhutibhushan has neither precedence nor following in Bengali literature.
But why was Tarasankar so readily accepted by the readers. The answer lies primarily in his selection of subjects. His asset was the knowledge of his subject at first hand. This was the secret of his success and Mahasveta Devi, herself an eminent novelist, has taken great pains in depicting the life story of this great novelist

Today my special guest is author Natalie G. Owens. I met Natalie several years ago at a Georgia Romance Writers meeting, and we took an instant liking to each other. She has since moved to the other side of the world and now makes her home in Malta, but we still communicate regularly on Facebook and Twitter.
I love Natalie's take on writing, so I asked her to share about her author experience in a two-part interview. Tomorrow she tell us about her new release, Something to Live For. Please join me in welcoming her.
How would you describe your story/book?
Something to Live For is a short paranormal/contemporary romance. It’s a story of two wounded people getting together and healing through intimacy and a bit of magic. You can find the blurb here - http://www.nataliegowens.com/p/something-to-live-for.html
What will readers like about your book?
I think they may like the fact that the hero and heroine are real people who have gone through some tough times in life. There is a lot of emotion there and my characters tend to be a little dark – so this may appeal to readers who prefer their romance to be dark and reflective. The sensual aspect is central to the story, but I’d say it’s more evocative than graphic – at least that’s what I hope readers will think when they read it! I hope they will simply say – “This is a short but satisfying read. It tapped into my emotions, and I’m happy I got this book.”
What inspired you to write this particular story?
I always had an idea of setting stories in my native country of Malta, and this is my second attempt at this. I also think that we should all believe in a little magic, in things that are often dismissed as fantasy. To believe in something we are tempted to rule as impossible is much like sticking to a dream. It takes courage, and a lot of love, to see it through. Therefore, in this story I married magic with intimacy, because both have the power to heal and inspire.
Also, I intend this to be part of a series of three or more shorts, leading to the last one which will be a full-length novel – the story Moonlight Dating’s Jeanette Lagrange.
When did you start writing?When I was in my teens. I have always loved the arts. As a child I used to enjoy drawing and playing the organ (or attempting to!). In my high school years, I started writing. I loved poetry because it helped me with my own issues at that time. At 19 I won a second place national award here in Malta by the literary society for a poem written in my native language. After that, I wrote articles in English for some local and college publications. I stopped writing for a while because I needed to finish law school. Then in 2006, I got laid off and my husband encouraged me to start writing and editing – something he knew I always wanted to do. He pushed me hard, and here I am today. I’ve gone through two e-publishers, and now I’m self-publishing my second short story. All I want is to get to the readers and offer them something they love to read.
When did you realize that you were a serious writer?
See previous answer – I believe it answers this question J
When did you decide that you wanted to write a book?
When I was laid off, in 2006, I wrote a short story. It took me two weeks to write and less than a month to sell it. Then I wrote another and sold that one, too. The publisher I was with closed down and I contracted the books with another publisher. Now, I’ve pulled those books from the market and starting afresh. I thought I couldn’t write a full-length novel, but I was wrong – thank God! I actually managed to finish An Eternity of Roses, Book 1 of the Valthrean Legacy, a sweeping paranormal romance that slowly took shape thanks to my critique partners and beta readers. It is presently in the editing stage and in the coming months I’ll have a release date.
What is your writing process?
SMADAW – sit my ass down and write. Then get up, play hide and seek with my two year old son, then SMADAW again. Then go to make lunch, and SMADAW again. You get my point…
How long does it take you to write your first draft?
An Eternity of Roses took me two years to finish – no kidding! But there’s a reason. I cut my teeth on writing with this manuscript, and I consider finishing this project comparable to taking a Masters in creative writing. I’ve now started work on another novel, one I’d classify as romantic suspense, and I already know the process will be much shorter because I’ve plotted this one more thoroughly than the first. I know more what to expect, and I’m prepared for it.
Why did you publish on Kindle and other eReaders?
Because I want to reach readers, and I didn’t want to wait for that to happen. I have nothing against traditional publishing and I don’t rule it out from my future – but when authors are given so many opportunities to offer their work to the public and keep creative control, why shouldn’t they indulge? For sure, these are exciting times. Plus, my husband and other writer friends have helped me come to this decision with their encouragement and advice. Actually, I wish I’d made up my mind sooner!
What do you think of electronic books versus hard copy books?
E-books are the future, I think. But, POD is a great way to satisfy those readers who prefer an actual book in their hands. I was one of these, too, until I got my Kindle…
Can you please tell us a little-known fact about yourself?
When I was young I dreamed of being an archaeologist – or rather, an Egyptologist. My dreams were shattered when I found that dust triggered my asthma.
I was also hopelessly in love with E.T.
That’s two facts for you (a two for one special J)
How has your writing journey been so far?
In one word – Enlightening! I learn something new every day. It’s a beautiful thing.
Have you seen a change in the independent publishing community?
I haven’t been part of this scene long so I can’t say much here, but one thing I do is stay clear of the debates as to who has the bigger balls – self-pub or trad pub. I think there are pros and cons to everything, and I do believe that we as authors should set the example. How do we expect readers to give us stellar reviews and at least be nice, when we are not ourselves civil? I’ve read blogs that are very informative, but I’m put off by the bashing tone of the author who’s following a certain agenda. I don’t mean not to share interesting articles that objectively describe the true picture of things, or not to share happiness and stats about one’s self-publishing experience – in fact, I’ve picked up so much from your self-publishing reports and the links you shared with other writers, Chicki! My idea though is not to worry about who or what is better. Our job is to write and produce quality work. Ultimately, it’s the work that speaks for you…not who you’re published with (or not).
Do you read other independently published authors’ works? Any favorites you would like to plug?
Yes, I do. I am also a freelance editor so I’ve worked on some great manuscripts. But no, I won’t pick a favorite J.
Do you have any advice for someone who would like to be an Indie author or publisher?
Know what you’re doing – and see my answer to the question “What advice would you give to a first-time author thinking of self-publishing on Kindle?” below. Everything applies.
Do you have any new works coming out soon that you can tell us about?
I have another short I’m working on, a contemporary romance called Everything to Lose (an extensively edited version of a previously published work), and my novel An Eternity of Roses. I’m also working on a few other projects, one of which will hopefully be completed in the summer.
Morning person? Or Night Person. How do you know?
Morning person. I love it when I get up early and get lots of things done by the time everyone wakes up. Don’t always manage though J
Tell us about your favorite character from your books.
Mmmm…I love them all. Especially with the novel, I spent so much time with them that they’ve become family. Although I must admit I’m intrigued by the secondary character, the enigmatic and tortured Massimiliano Damiani, who will get his own book next. It was so hard to work with a Richard Armitage lookalike… And then Adrian, the hero, a dead ringer for Chris Hemsworth…unbearable! :D
What is the hardest part of writing your books?
The plotting. I get the general idea and the characterization down pat, but don’t always see the resolution right away. Sometimes it feels like pulling teeth. But when it finally comes to me, it’s a “go” then!
Where do you research for your books?
I have tons of reference books and of course, the almighty Google always comes to the rescue. Once I actually flew to Venice to do extensive research at a library there (actually an excuse to take a trip, lol). It was a memorable experience. I still have that research, and I plotted the book. It’s a historical romance that’s waiting for me to write it – I plan on doing that next year.
Do you have critique partners or beta readers?
I have both. I think it’s extremely important to have trusted people that can give you constructive feedback, as well as potential readers to give me their perspective on the story. That’s how the book comes into its own, and I can’t imagine not having my CP and beta readers to help me through the process.
Plotter or Pantser?
I used to be a pantser, as I suggested above, but now I’m definitely a plotter. It helps move things forward faster for me.
How do you develop and differentiate your characters?
First, I have to know what they look like, so I create a PowerPoint file with pictures of the characters. Then, I set about building their GMC – goal, motivation, conflict. When I get comfortable with this and plant the central character in Chapter 1, it all flows from there. It’s all about getting to know the characters… just like in real life.
Who do you imagine is your ideal reader?
Someone who likes genre fiction with a bit of a literary flair to it.
What was your journey as a writer?
I think I answered this question above.
What authors most inspire you?
Too many to count! I must say though that I was introduced to romance through the purple prose of Dame Barbara Cartland, and I’ll always be grateful for that. Then another book that has always been one of my favorites is Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. Such a classic! And Mr. Rochester is the perfect brooding hero. It probably accounts for the gothic undertone and literary style I use often in my writing.
How have you marketed and promoted your work?
Yes. As a new author, one has to market as much as possible. However, I do take breaks because I have to write.
What advice would you give to a first-time author thinking of self-publishing on Kindle?
First, EDIT your book. Have a professional look at it. Take advice and constructive criticism graciously and always thank the person giving it, even if you inwardly disagree with their perspective. Never burn bridges because every bridge burned is one sale (or more) lost, and don’t do the hard sell. Create real relationships with people, don’t just shove your “new release” down their throats. Promote and post your news on groups but take some time to give a personal touch. Always – and I mean always, even when it hurts – be polite and use etiquette. Then, be prepared to burn the candle at both ends. It’s a lot of work, can’t avoid that. Some will underestimate you, and when you take the plunge, you’ll find out who your real friends are. Most importantly, believe in yourself because when the bad reviews come in, and sometimes they will, you’ll have to keep your wits about you. You cannot please everyone, but you can improve and do your very best every time you publish. Finally, be polite and use etiquette in dealing with other authors/readers/CPs/editors or anyone who comes in contact with your work (did I say that already? Doesn’t harm to repeat…)
So, what do you write? And why?
Ooooh, this is interesting because I write different stories in different genres. My first release was literary horror (A Kind of Judgment), my second a paranormal/contemporary romance short. I write historical romance, paranormal/fantasy romance, and romantic suspense, as well. Why? Because I write the story that comes to me. I hate it when authors are forced into a tiny box for the sake of branding. It’s okay if it’s a personal choice, but if an author wants to explore different genres even within the gamut of romance categories, why not? The important thing is distinguishing who your readers are – basically mine are lovers of horror on one side and romance on the other. Sometimes the two may overlap, albeit not often. In the past I used a pseudonym; now I no longer do. I don’t think I need one just to write different genres of romance and I don’t believe it affects sales. For instance, Lisa Kleypas does it without a pseudonym – she writes both historical and contemporary romance. I love her historicals most. Julia London writes historical romance, contemporary romance, and women’s fiction. I see no confusion in this – all I have to do is check the cover/blurb to learn what category a book falls under – and I believe that the marketing machine can sometimes destroy creativity in favor of “the formula” and often underestimates the savvy readers.
What would your characters say about you?
Who’s this “loco” lady who keeps muttering and complaining when I don’t do what she says? She’s not the boss of me!
Do you have a favorite of your own books and why?
They’re all special to me – and while I’m writing a book, it’s the most important story in the world to me. So, I honestly can’t answer this.
Do you like more Alpha or Beta heroes?
Alpha, but sometimes my heroes straddle the fence. That’s life, isn’t it? Everyone has an Achilles’ heel…and even an Alpha has his weak moments. I like a strong Alpha with a vulnerable streak – makes him more interesting!
