Positive Q1 economic data from China suggests the market is set to once again find favour with investors in 2016, according to ETF provider Source. While Q1 GDP growth at 6.7% was a touch below the 6.8% of the previous quarter, the much feared collapse in China appears not to have occurred.
Furthermore, in addition to evidence that the Chinese property market is recovering, there are signs that other parts of the economy are accelerating too, including growth of 10.7% in investment spending, 6.8% in industrial production and 10.5% in retail sales (all y-o-y to March). Even more impressive, aggregate financing was CNY6.5trn in Q1, up from CNY4.6trn a year ago.
Paul Jackson, Head of Multi-Asset Research at Source, commented: “There currently seems little enthusiasm for Chinese stocks among either foreign or domestic investors but that could quickly change. While the 43% top-to-bottom decline in the FTSE A50 index during the June-August 2015 period could have been viewed as an opportunity, the manic stabilisation efforts of the Chinese authorities acted as a deterrent for many investors.
“Recent data flows suggest it is time to take another look. There are still lots of new initiatives but policy makers do not seem so panicked. The market is up 13% since last year’s August low and has been making steady progress since the end of January.”
Paul Jackson said: “The easing by the PBOC has stimulated monetary growth, reduced bond yields and weakened the yuan, all of which should be supportive of local equities.”
From a valuation perspective, a cyclically adjusted price earnings ratio of 9.1 is as low as it has been over the period available. This is less than half the historical average 20.3 and well below the current US multiple of 25 (the emerging market average is around 12). This modest valuation explains why Source’s five year FTSE A50 target (17,000) is so far above the current level (9,723). That suggests an annualised five year return of nearly 12%, even before dividends are included (the yield is close to 3%).
Paul Jackson said: “The above calculations do not allow for what might happen when MSCI and other index providers include A shares in their emerging market indices. This will likely happen this year or next. A mid-year dip in the Chinese market would not be unusual; however, we would use that as an opportunity to buy equities even more cheaply.”

How to buy XBOX 360 games today
Today’s games are getting cheaper, and that’s a good thing.
As the Xbox 360 continues to gain traction and the Xbox One continues to get better, Microsoft is finally ready to open the floodgates.
The Xbox One’s price drop is a huge boost to Microsoft’s online video and music businesses, and the launch of a new console means that gamers will soon be able to buy the Xbox Store for the first time in more than a decade.
The Xbox One will also have a brand new app store, a new home video app and a revamped gaming experience.
The new features aren’t all new, but they’re all new and better than ever.
Microsoft has been making some big changes in the Xbox app store in recent months, but the biggest changes have been to the Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Marketplace and the new Xbox One Game Pass.
The Game Pass is Microsoft’s subscription service for Xbox Live members that gives them access to an array of games.
The service was designed to help people sign up for Xbox One games but now it will be expanded to the new console.
Microsoft has also announced that it will expand its free Xbox One Games Pass program to include all of the upcoming Xbox One titles, and it will offer a $100 annual membership that can be used to purchase a variety of games for the Xbox.
Microsoft is also offering a new online video service that will allow gamers to watch Xbox Live videos, watch their own videos, download games from Xbox Live and stream Xbox Live games to their computers.
This will allow fans to watch more video and play more games, which is great news for fans of video games.
The Game Pass will also be available in the new version of Xbox One, which will include all the new games from the Xbox and will come with an Xbox One X bundle that includes the Xbox Live subscription service, Xbox Live Gold membership, a game controller and a controller pad for a total of $400.
The $100 Xbox One Gold membership will also include Xbox Live membership for $50.
The new Xbox Game pass is a big deal for fans and players.
Xbox gamers will be able play all their Xbox Live-enabled games on the new consoles, but also can watch and play them on PC.
Microsoft is also making it easier to buy games on its Xbox Games Store.
The game store will now allow users to purchase games on Xbox One at a lower price than they would on Xbox Live.
This is great for fans who want to play games on their own computer, but don’t want to have to pay for a game pass.
The Microsoft Store, which currently only sells games on Microsoft’s own digital storefront, will soon have a full online video app.
This app will also work on Windows 10 PCs and tablets and Windows 10 mobile phones, allowing users to watch and stream their favorite games.
Microsoft will also offer a new service called Game Pass Premium, which allows users to pay $100 per month for an Xbox Live Game Pass subscription for one year.
This means that the price will drop from $300 to $100, but there’s a $20 annual fee.
This move will make it easy for Xbox gamers to pick up and play games that are available on Xbox 360s or even the Xbox Ones, which are currently selling for $500 or less.
Microsoft also announced plans to make its own streaming services available for Windows 10 and Windows PCs.
The streaming service will be called Xbox Video.
This service will allow users from all over the world to watch videos, play games and download games on Windows and Xbox devices.
Microsoft will also make the Xbox Games Pass available for free on Xbox Games and Xbox Mobile, meaning Xbox fans will have access to more games than ever before.
Xbox Live will also become an exclusive digital subscription service on the Xbox store.
The price of the Xbox Pass will drop to $25, and Xbox Live gold members will be getting the same discount.
There’s still plenty to see in the first months of Xbox’s console lifecycle, so it’s important that gamers stay tuned to this site and the Games Hub for more details on the launch and launch day events of the new system.

Well as expected (as least by me) the Democratically controlled House of Representatives has passed legislation so complex, contradictory, and confusing that they likely have no real idea what is in it. By doing so, they have effectively moved our nation closer to socialization of health care; a goal they’ve had for 70 years.
Is anyone happy about this?
I venture to say, NO. Liberals will be dissatisfied because the bill doesn’t go far enough and potentially puts lots of money in the pockets of insurance companies. Conservatives (and anyone with good sense) will disapprove because it isn’t a good plan and besides, it probably isn’t really constitutional (something Congress, the Courts, and the Executive branch have longed ceased caring about).
Just so you know, the bill requires some things:
What the government will require you to do:
• Sec. 202 (p. 91-92) of the bill requires you to enroll in a “qualified plan.” If you get your insurance at work, your employer will have a “grace period” to switch you to a “qualified plan,” meaning a plan designed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. If you buy your own insurance, there’s no grace period. You’ll have to enroll in a qualified plan as soon as any term in your contract changes, such as the co-pay, deductible or benefit.
• Sec. 224 (p. 118) provides that 18 months after the bill becomes law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services will decide what a “qualified plan” covers and how much you’ll be legally required to pay for it. That’s like a banker telling you to sign the loan agreement now, then filling in the interest rate and repayment terms 18 months later.
On Nov. 2, the Congressional Budget Office estimated what the plans will likely cost. An individual earning $44,000 before taxes who purchases his own insurance will have to pay a $5,300 premium and an estimated $2,000 in out-of-pocket expenses, for a total of $7,300 a year, which is 17% of his pre-tax income. A family earning $102,100 a year before taxes will have to pay a $15,000 premium plus an estimated $5,300 out-of-pocket, for a $20,300 total, or 20% of its pre-tax income. Individuals and families earning less than these amounts will be eligible for subsidies paid directly to their insurer.
• Sec. 303 (pp. 167-168) makes it clear that, although the “qualified plan” is not yet designed, it will be of the “one size fits all” variety. The bill claims to offer choice—basic, enhanced and premium levels—but the benefits are the same. Only the co-pays and deductibles differ. You will have to enroll in the same plan, whether the government is paying for it or you and your employer are footing the bill.
• Sec. 59b (pp. 297-299) says that when you file your taxes, you must include proof that you are in a qualified plan. If not, you will be fined thousands of dollars. Illegal immigrants are exempt from this requirement.
• Sec. 412 (p. 272) says that employers must provide a “qualified plan” for their employees and pay 72.5% of the cost, and a smaller share of family coverage, or incur an 8% payroll tax. Small businesses, with payrolls from $500,000 to $750,000, are fined less.
And that is just the beginning. May God have mercy on us all!
The house has passed a health care bill.
There will be a revolt, one way or another.
We have 46 million uninsured people in America. (Some people believe that number is smaller, but let’s just say it’s 46 million.) We’re spending at least 90 billion on this bill. Wouldn’t it just be cheaper to give each of those 46 million people a million bucks a piece so they can go buy a lifetime worth of insurance premiums?
The real fun about this health care bill is that it benefits no one. Absolutely every possible group, from the already insured to the working class, from seniors on medicare to the very poor, everybody is going to suffer under this bill. You’re either facing cutbacks to the government funded insurance you already have or you’re facing fines if you can’t afford insurance premiums or your facing taxes and penalties if you have a good plan. It punishes everybody and doesn’t even seem to provide health care to those without.
Yep… it would be a lot cheaper, and despite the inflationary effects, a lot more effective. But then again it wouldn’t arrogate power to the mandarins in DC.
You know what I’m afraid to see? Every time the government passes something there is always the “oops” moment a few years later. Like oops we thought that road would cost $10 million now it cost $100 million. Or Medicare which was originally supposed to cost $3 billion but oops now it looks like it will cost $300 billion. When they say, “Opps that health care bill didn’t cost $1 trillion but $100 trillion.” I wonder what this country will look like on that day. I guess my kids and grandkids can worry about that…
Oops – Big Dig cost $15 billion and counting last I heard. Talk about misappropriation of funds. Tax dollars flow from the South to Boston to put a road underground for no good reason other than the hideousness within the city. Oh sure, it may have added a few lanes to the highway, but now they are underground and if you want to add more? Not an easy task and probably another $15 billion.
As a resident of Boston and someone born in the South, I have a right to bitch about the misappropriation of funds by the Federal government across state lines through the income tax in my opinion.

A Portland high school, recently renamed in honor of Pulitzer Prize-winning African American journalist Ida B. Wells in the interest of wokeness, is also expunging “Trojans” as the schools nickname and mascot. Racist, you know. Non-inclusive.
Unfortunately, the school hit a snag when deciding on a new nickname and mascot. A survey conducted in February resulted in “Evergreen” being the favorite to replace “Trojan.” However, the final vote on the new identity was delayed after a board member complained that an evergreen tree might have—you guessed it-- racist connotations. Yes, Portland Public Schools Board of Education Director Michelle DePass expressed concern over an evergreen tree’s potential links to the lynching of African Americans in the early 20th century, as some were hung from…trees.
Why do you think they call them “white” pines?!
Other tree species are called “white” birch and “white” oak. The racism never ends.
But if trees, though inert and incapable of thought, are racist simply because some people utilized them to harm other people, then literally everything is racist. Except that, if literally everything is racist, nothing is racist.
Restaurants are racist, because some in the past didn’t serve Blacks. Businesses are racist, because in the early 20th century, some hung out signs saying, “”Irish need not apply.” Drinking fountains are racist because, in the same time period, African Americans were not allowed to drink from many of them.
Blaming the object-- whether in lieu of or addition to the person responsible for a given behavior—is a clear sign of insanity, ignorance, or a sinister agenda. This is what leftists do with guns. Yet they never blame spoons for obesity or pencils for misspelled words.
Some folks clearly are racist, however. Those on the left and in the mainstream media who reflexively blame Trump and his supporters for anything and everything and who think saying—and believing—that “All Lives Matter” is a form of racism… are themselves blatantly racist, intolerant, bigoted, close-minded and exclusionary.
As are those who blame a tree…yet refuse to take a good, hard, look in the mirror.

In the GDP accounts, capital spending includes Structures (23%), Equipment (45), and Intellectual Property Products (32), where the numbers in parentheses show the percent of the current-dollar total during Q3-2013. Equipment includes information processing equipment, industrial equipment, transportation equipment, and other equipment. Intellectual Property Products includes software, research & development, and entertainment, literary, and artistic originals.
On closer inspection, what stands out is the extraordinary increases in spending on R&D and software both in current dollars and adjusted for inflation. In current dollars, the total is at a record $578 billion (saar), doubling since the end of 1998.
Spending on R&D and software combined has been running around 30% of total capital spending in recent years, doubling since the mid-1980s. The two categories currently each account for about 15% of capital spending. Thirty years ago, R&D was 11% of the total, while software was just 4%.

On March 10, Wuhan, China, closed the last of the 16 temporary medical facilities it established to address an overwhelming number of COVID-19 cases. But before it did, one coronavirus hospital ward served as the setting for an experimental program in which robots — not human staff — tended to all the patients’ needs.
The project was a collaboration between the Chinese Academy of Sciences research institute and officials from the Hubei province. At the ward, robots took care of 200 people showing early symptoms of COVID-19 — a remarkable example of technology’s role in combating the novel coronavirus.
The Robot-Run Coronavirus Hospital
Traditionally, healthcare workers have had little choice but to put themselves in harm’s way during infectious disease outbreaks — someone needs to tend to patients, and they’re the people trained to do that job.
The surge in patients during an outbreak makes workers more in-demand than ever; and the more they work, the more likely they are to catch the infection. By March 2, more than 3,300 healthcare workers in China had reportedly caught COVID-19. At least 13 have died.
In the experimental program, robots took care of 200 people showing early symptoms of COVID-19.
In order to protect healthcare workers — and help alleviate an already overburdened system — China turned to robots. The idea behind the experimental coronavirus hospital ward in Wuhan was to keep medical staff safe by letting robots take care of patients with mild COVID-19 symptoms.
Artificial intelligence tech company CloudMinds donated 12 sets of robots to the program, according to a report by The Global Times. The robots were divided into six types, each boasting its own abilities, including: food delivery, ward disinfection, and disposal of medical waste.
Some of the robots could check patients’ vital signs, transmitting the information to human doctors for review. Others helped keep morale up in the coronavirus hospital ward by leading patients in dance routines and posing for pictures.
Tech to the Rescue
The robot-run coronavirus hospital ward in Wuhan is just one example of how technology is contributing to the COVID-19 response effort.
We’ve seen robots rolling through residential areas spraying disinfectant, while drones do the same from the sky — when they aren’t scolding people caught outside without protective face masks.
Meanwhile, thermal-imaging tech affixed to drones and police helmets has allowed officials to scan crowds for people with elevated temperatures, a characteristic symptom of COVID-19.
Artificial intelligence has also played a major role in the coronavirus response. Some computer scientists have built algorithms capable of tracking COVID-19 and predicting its future spread. Others have developed AIs to detect coronavirus by analyzing CT scans of lungs.
Some tech-based coronavirus response efforts have yet to pay off — but if they do, they could help bring the outbreak to an end outright.
Machine-learning startup Deepmind used AI software to model the structure of six SARS-CoV-2 proteins. It then released the data in the hopes that scientists might be able to use it to develop a COVID-19 vaccine.
With a vaccine in hand, health officials could dramatically stem the spread of COVID-19 — and that can’t happen soon enough.

Studies of the antioxidant properties of cell juice of firs were conducted with the participation of children from the radiation-tainted areas of Tomsk Oblast, as well as children with the attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. The results of the studies reliably confirmed the reduction of the level of toxic products and the increase of catalase activity against the background of administration of cell juice.Antioxidant properties of cell juice of firs
Clinical studies of antioxidative properties of cell juice of firs were carried out by the Chair of Biochemistry in the Siberian State Medical University in Tomsk. Changes in the antioxidative system were studied in the radiation-contaminated areas. The results of the study indicate the activation of processes of lipid peroxidation (LP) and the increase of the content of malonic dialdehyde (MDA) – a toxic product of LP in children from contaminated areas compared to the uncontaminated ones. These processes reduce the functional activity of cells, reduce the length of their life and disrupt homeostasis of the organism, reduce functions of the immune system and physical performance, resistance of the organism to diseases.
Activation of lipid peroxidation with accumulation of toxic products in children from areas of radiation contamination not only reduces the adaptive capacity of the organism, but may also precede the development of many types of pathology, which is observed in a group of children from the environmentally neglected areas.
Another study was conducted by the Chair in Children's City Hospital No. 2 and Children's Polyclinic No. 2 in Tomsk. Children with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder participated in the study. There was a significant positive influence of the fir extract on the processes of lipid peroxidation. Catalase activity after the course of administration of the extract increased by 40%. The concentration of MDA was lower by 32.5% compared to the values measured before the therapy. Use of the Siberian fir extract for internal application in the scheme of treatment of children with ADHD is accompanied by improvement of dynamics of neuropsychological manifestations and condition of oxidative processes in children with ADHD, which is due to its antioxidant action.


Permanent Electrical Safety Devices (PESDs) greatly assist with a safer, smarter, and more productive Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedure. But how and when each device is best suited for each step of the process may require some clarification. For starters, our GracePESDs® voltage indicators are best suited for verifying the presence of voltage. This is visually represented by flashing or non-flashing LED lights from the device that is hardwired to the load side of an electrical feeder or disconnect switch.
However, when the lights are no longer illuminated, this is not to be considered an accurate representation of the absence of voltage. In order to verify absence of voltage, a qualified person must go beyond visual verification and perform a metered test, which is where our Safe-Test Point and Voltage Test Station would come into play.
Failure to perform proper mechanical or electrical LOTO can lead to electrocution, electrical shock, arc-flash, and other hazards. In addition to huge penalties by OSHA for non-compliance, these hazards often result in lost time wages, compensation claims, permanent disability, and fatalities. Voltage indicators from GracePESDs® improve safety around live voltage and can identify faults before maintenance is performed.
Voltage indicators are permanently installed self-powered devices that visually represent the presence of voltage with flashing or non-flashing, redundant LED lights. Typically hardwired to the load side of an electrical feeder or a disconnect switch, these indicators illuminate whenever hazardous voltage is present in any individual phase. Voltage indicators assist task-qualified personnel with enhanced productivity and reduced risk while performing mechanical LOTO tasks.
*Select R-3W-SR are not CAT III, IV rated and can be distinguished by red, blue, and yellow wires
With a voltage indicator for every application, you’ll never need to compromise safety. From the standard R-3W to the CAT III/IV rated fiber optic R-3F2, we’re ready to help you improve your electrical safety program today. The most recent additions to the lineup include the DC application indicator, R-3W-DC, and the Flex-Mount, R-3D2.
The Flex-Mount was specifically designed to be able to mount onto the top, bottom, or side of a disconnect switch, for example. It includes labels that come with the kit for directional mounting. All of the above-mentioned voltage indicators are UL Listed.
The Flex-Mount is especially unique because it conveniently mounts onto any electrical equipment that features an M20 or ¾” conduit knockout. This 3-phase voltage indicator uses redundant, long-life LEDs (flashing or non-flashing options available) to provide a visual representation of energy presence with the flexibility of being mounted virtually anywhere conduit knockout (alternate mounting position labels are provided).
In addition to the four-wire option, the Flex-Mount is the first voltage indicator PESD to utilize an optional five-wire configuration for use on wye power systems. The Flex-Mount comes fully potted with CAT III & CAT IV ratings and can be hardwired directly to a voltage source making it ideal for use in both AC & DC applications.
We also have an indicator for medium voltage application with the R-1V Medium Voltage Indicator. This PESD is installed differently than the previously mentioned indicators as it mounts directly onto a medium voltage bus to alert personnel to voltage presence with flashing LEDs.
The Medium Voltage Indicator is designed to provide sufficient illumination to be easily seen through a regular or IR viewing window mounted on a medium voltage starter, transformer, switchgear, or other power distribution equipment. The R-1V is built for long life and reliability with solid-state LEDs and is coated with flame-rated material. The Medium Voltage Indicator also uses capacitively-coupled resistivity to provide high surge immunity.
Alternative Door Mount Conduit Options for the Safe-Test Point™ & Voltage Indicators
UPDATE: We're experiencing a shortage of a component included with our door mount kit due to global supply chain issues. The door mount kit is a popular and highly requested add-on with the purchase of our Safe Test Point and R-3W series of voltage indicators. In this video, Director of Technical Marketing, Bhanu Srilla, demonstrates alternative door mounting conduit options for PESDs such as the Safe-Test Point™ and R-3W series voltage indicators. These options serve as alternative methods for our typical door mount kit adaptor parts that are currently experiencing a shortage in supply.
Stay SAFE and have a GREAT week!

The Microarray Data Center Interconnect Cables from Superior Essex are designed for high performance in a small package. The 12-fiber interconnect has an outside diameter of only 3.0 mm. The 24-fiber single unit employs two, 12-fiber microtubes that are ideal for 24-fiber MTP/MPO array connectors. The 24-fiber duplex contains two, 12-fiber 3.0 mm interconnect cables with an overjacket. The fibers can be fusion spliced, connectorized to high density MTP/MPO mechanical array connectors or attached to standard single ferrule mechanical connectors (LC, SC, ST, etc.) via a furcation kit. The loose fibers are surrounded by aramid yarns and a low smoke PVC (LSPVC) plenum or riser-rated jacket. Its small size allows for denser fiber routing than traditional tight buffered cables; its loose-tube construction gives it superior performance and installation ease compared to ribbon interconnect cable. This item has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is here for archival purposes.

Twice baked potato bites are the ultimate party snack. The original recipe for twice baked potatoes calls for sour cream. On our first pass we used vegan sour cream and they were alright. No bad at all, but a little flat even with the fresh chives.
On our second attempt we substituted the sour cream with a vegan Chive & Garlic Cream Cheese from Go Veggie!. Pretty awesome. Just the flavor kick we needed, but if you can't find it at the store vegan sour cream or vegan cream cheese works just fine.
If you happen to have a melon baller on hand, the smaller side works great for scooping the potatoes out. If, not any small spoon will work. But seriously, wait until they're cool before you scoop. These little spuds can really hold their heat.Print
- 2 lbs. red new potatoes (about 14), halved
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- coarse salt and ground pepper
- ¾ cup vegan chive and garlic cream cheese
- ¼ cup snipped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
- Preheat oven to 450° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment. Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each potato half so they rest flat. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with oil; season with salt and pepper, and arrange bottom side down. Bake until tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool on sheet.
- When the potatoes are cool enough, scoop out about a teaspoon from the center of each potato into a medium bowl. Add cream cheese and chives, and mash; season with salt and pepper. Stuff potatoes with filling. (To store, refrigerate stuffed potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, up to 1 day.)
- Bake potatoes at 450 degrees until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Garnish with chives.

A particular paragraph read out in public statement time at this month’s Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale ordinary council meeting resulted in a councillor storming out of the chambers.
Byford resident and Freeman of the shire John Kirkpatrick asked three questions at the meeting, one of which was in relation to councillor Sam Piipponen’s comments in The Examiner on April 4 where he described the council’s communication as ‘toxic’ and ‘non-existent’.
Before Mr Kirkpatrick could ask his question, councillor Rob Coales raised a point of order of which Shire President Michelle Rich ignored, allowing the question to be read in full.
In public statement time Mr Coales again raised a point of order before Mr Kirkpatrick’s statement was read.
The shire president again refused this order which resulted in Mr Coales storming out of the chambers before returning after the statement had been read out in front of the packed public gallery.
Since the meeting, Mr Coales said he has made a complaint to the chief executive in relation to Ms Rich’s decisions.
“I feel the statements and questions were defamatory towards councillor Sam Piipponen,” he said.
“Whilst I respect her decision at the time, and it is her prerogative as a presiding member, I believe the policy needs to be confirmed because it seems there is continued persistence of questions being asked and statements being made that are objectively inappropriate and defamatory to some councillors.”
Mr Piipponen was not at the meeting, after giving an apology.

Nick Clegg calls for a rational debate about drugs regulation
17 February 2014
Blenheim welcomes Nick Clegg’s call for a rational debate about Drugs Law and regulation in the UK. For 50 years Blenheim have supported and continues to support those who get into problems with their use of drugs and alcohol.
At Blenheim we believe we need to be careful and take responsibility for understanding the serious health risks that can accompany drug and alcohol use. We believe that the supply of drugs including alcohol and tobacco needs to be heavily regulated.
Blenheim works with thousands of people who have serious health and dependency problems as a result of their drug and alcohol use. The early death and ill health of so many is an ongoing national tragedy.
As a society we must regulate the supply of recreational drugs for consumption and ensure that people are aware of the risks so that they are able to make informed decisions. We must also ensure that people are not being sold contaminated substances or products with widely varying purity levels, two of the things implicated in a significant number of drug related deaths.
The UK’s current approach makes many substances illegal, and in doing so abdicates any responsibility for control, regulation, public health, trading standards or supply. It pushes supply into the hands of criminal gangs and is a direct cause of drug related violence on our streets. The Economist Magazine has published definitive articles over the years on the issue.The case study of American Alcohol Prohibition provides a clear understanding of the link between
Prohibition and organized crime.
Blenheim welcomes Nick Clegg’s comment that the UK needed to be at the heart of the debate about potential alternatives to blanket Prohibition, and that he wanted to see an end to “the tradition where politicians only talk about drugs reform when they have left office because they fear the political consequences.”
“Let’s fight organized crime and drug related death, ill health, and dependency by being smarter about our laws prohibiting and regulating drugs. Such an approach requires a rational debate on Drugs Policy and a political consensus to set up and implement the recommendations of a Royal Commission” John Jolly CEO Blenheim.


UK’s National Grid to install fleet of EV charging points on motorways
The National Grid has announced that it will be going ahead with plans to introduce a fleet of electric vehicle (EV) charging points to Britain’s motorways.
“People are talking about electric vehicles reaching price parity [with conventional cars] in the early to mid-2020s,” stated John Pettigrew, CEO of National Grid.
The charging systems will feed directly off the electricity network and will be able to charge cars in six to eight minutes.
The 350kW chargers will be located on 50 sites along motorways, costing between £500mn (US$673mn) and £1bn ($1.35bn) to execute the project.
The firm is currently in talks with government departments and stakeholders for funding, however a surcharge costing about 63p ($0.85) has been proposed.
National Grid’s underlying profits for the year rose by 4%, the firm reported, reaching £2.68bn ($3.61bn).
According to the company, the recent success can be attributed to its North American business.
The firm’s earning per share grew by 3% to reach 60.4p ($0.81), whilst shares in National Grid hit £8.54 ($11.50), a 2.6% increase.

The Structure of Metro Council
Nashville’s Metro Council is as old as the Nashville we know today. It was created to consolidate the previously separate governments of Metro Nashville and Davidson County, on April 1, 1963. With the third largest city council in the US (after New York and Chicago) our 35 district members are rooted in relatively small districts where their constituents can interact with them on a personal basis. A district’s residents, faith communities, businesses, organizations and institutions can contact them easily and personally monitor their effectiveness in representing them.
The Council has two basic legislative functions:
to enact ordinances or “bills” which address most of metro’s business, including authorizing the overall budget, street closures, zoning changes, etc.
to adopt or reject resolutions, which typically have more to do with modifying the internal workings of our local government, distribute the funding to various Metro departments, approve grants and contracts created by the departments.
The Council includes five at-large members elected from across the city that represent the whole city. The vice mayor serves as president of the council, presiding over council meetings and voting in the event of a tie. The council’s 15 different committees read and comment on any legislation that comes before the council. After legislation has been approved by the council, it goes to the mayor, who has the power to veto it.

When the Sounders FC re-acquired Lamar Neagle in the offseason, he joined a long line of talented wide midfield players on the Sounders roster. Just how Neagle would see playing time on a club with such depth at the position that he had grown into in the previous two years in MLS was a tall task.
However, Seattle head coach Sigi Schmid touted Neagle’s versatility as a trait that attracted the Sounders towards bringing the Federal Way native back into the mix for his third stint with the club.
Already in the first two months of the season, he has rewarded Schmid for that faith while playing primarily as a forward as the Sounders have dealt with injuries throughout the year up top. That shined brightly on Saturday in the Sounders FC’s 1-0 win over the Colorado Rapids, as Neagle finished the match with two dangerous shots, skimming off the crossbar with one in the first half and forcing Colorado goalkeeper Clint Irwin into a sprawling save in the second half. He also had the cross that eventually set up the game-winning goal.
“He’s been great,” Schmid said. “Once he gets his full game fitness maybe those balls he got in the second half, he can turn those into goals as well. I thought his running was pretty good as the game wore on. He did a much better job of holding the ball up for us as well. Lamar has done well for us the last few games.”
Neagle started his current run of form with a substitute appearance in Seattle’s 1-1 draw with Santos Laguna in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions League semifinal series, scoring Seattle’s only goal of the series while playing up top with Steve Zakuani.
He repeated that role in the next match against the New England Revolution, starting alongside Zakuani while the Sounders played to a scoreless draw. Although the zero in the score column wasn’t what the Sounders were looking for, Neagle’s play left encouraging signs for Schmid and on Saturday he started with Obafemi Martins.
Paired with the superstar goal-scorer was a different proposition for Neagle than playing with a winger like Zakuani or even with Eddie Johnson, as he had in training the previous week.
“I was trying to get it to his feet as much as possible, and let him create and let him do what he does. The more he sees the ball, the more successful we’re going to be,” Neagle said. “I was just trying to win headers and stretch the defense so he could get space.”
That understanding of his role was key in his success in the partnership and has helped him develop as a forward, the position he played in 2010 when he earned USL-2 MVP honors while leading the Charleston Battery to a championship season.
“I think my movement off the ball is getting better. My runs are getting better,” he said. “Martins found me on the one where I hit the crossbar in the first half. I thought that was good movement and a good ball by him.”
Neagle and the Sounders return to action on May 4 against the Philadelphia Union in a road match at PPL Park that starts a two-match road trip, concluding with a May 8 tilt with Sporting Kansas City.

11 Years Ago Today, Nick Saban Quit On The Dolphins & Bolted To Alabama One Month After Lying About It (VIDEO)
It may be hard to fathom for some young people when they find out that Nick Saban was once in the NFL as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins. Saban was just finishing his second season with the franchise when he kept getting bombarded with questions from reporters about the job opening with the Crimson Tide.
He was asked about it repeatedly at press conferences, and eventually he decided to slam the door on the situation once and for all with a fiery statement that he wasn’t going to Alabama.
“I guess I have to say it,” Saban said on December 21, 2006. “I’m not going to be the Alabama coach.”
Just a few weeks later, Saban had indeed bolted to coach the Crimson Tide, where he still remains today.
11 years ago today.
— Freezing Cold Takes (@OldTakesExposed) December 21, 2017
Saban finished with a disappointing 15-17 record over two seasons in South Florida, failing to make the playoffs in 2005 and 2006.

Choose the Class That Is Right for You
I have played RPGs (Role-Playing Games) for over thirty years, beginning with paper and pencil games and moving to computer video games. Out of all of the games I've played, the Mass Effect series has been among my favorites due to decent characters, a great plot, and enough freedom to make you feel like you are actually role-playing.
Mass Effect is a science-fiction role-playing game with many elements reliant on the class you choose. The gameplay, storyline, and often the characters you should include as part of your team are heavily reliant on your initial choice—therefore, it’s very important to choose the class that is right for you.
At the beginning of the game, you can choose between six different classes. each has one or two of the talents: Combat, Tech, or Biotic. As you progress through the game, you will also unlock specializations that give you added bonuses.
- Note: This article describes how to choose a character class in the original Mass Effect trilogy. For information relating to Mass Effect: Andromeda, please check out Mass Effect: Andromeda Skills and Profiles.
Summary of the Classes in Mass Effect
The table below lists all the available classes, the relevant talents and the specializations that will become available:
Available Character Classes
As well as determining the talents and abilities, class also has implications for the weapons, abilities, and armor choices, changing the way in which your character should be played.
Choosing your character's class is one of the more important decisions you will make. Not only should you take into account what type of game you want (more combat-oriented, more stealthy, etc.), but you should also take a look at the specializations that become available as you progress through the game.
Soldiers are perhaps the easiest to play and are ideal for beginner players. This article describes each class and the specializations available to them.
Adept (Biotic Talent)
- Starting Talents: Basic Armor, Throw, Warp, Barrier, Adept
- Unlockable Talents: Pistols, Lift, Singularity, Stasis
- Specializations: Bastion/Nemesis
Adepts are Biotic specialists who have special abilities in both attack and defense. Their skills allow them to lift objects, shield your party and disable and destroy opponents. They can only wear armor and use pistols, so they should team up with a Tech and a combat-oriented team.
The Adept is the best Biotic—they are able to change the physical world with their mind. An adept is ideal for focusing on disabling enemies and also removing ‘buffs’ from them. They are hardy and powerful manipulators of the mass effect fields.
They have all the Biotic abilities but are severely limited when it comes down to combat—they can get postils and light armor. They have no Tech skills. Their forces can be used to throw, lift, weaken forces and protect themselves.
The Adept is one of the tougher classes to play. It is essential that you set your strategy correctly so that they are protected while performing Biotics.
Soldier (Combat Talent)
- Starting Talents: Pistols, Assault Rifles, Combat Armor, Assault Training, Fitness
- Unlockable Talents: Shot Guns, Sniper Rifles, First Aid, Fitness
- Specializations: Commando/Nemesis
The Soldier class is most proficient in Combat. As a Soldier, you can use all weapon types and, over time, will be able to wear heavy armor. As you really don’t have to concentrate on all aspects of the game, the Soldier is ideal for beginners who want to use a powerful class and don’t want to have to delve too much into the game.
Their biggest drawback is the lack of Biotic and Tech abilities, but when combined with a decent party, they can be domineering. Soldiers are ideal for most combat situations.
The Soldier is ideal for all types of combat situations as they get improved health, the widest choice of weapons, and eventually, the ability to use heavy armor. They are your go-to guys when inundated with enemies and are great at protecting your Techs and Biotics.
They are durable and do the most combat damage, but do not have any Biotic or Tech abilities, so they have to rely on team members during quieter or more technical times.
Engineer (Tech Talent)
- Starting Talents: Pistols, Decryption, Electronics, First Aid, Engineer
- Unlockable Talents: Basic Armor, Hacking, Damping, Medicine
- Specialization: Medic/Operative
The Engineer is the best Tech. They are perfect for disabling shields, decrypting codes, and also have some healing powers. They are a passive class that is ideal for players who like to be able to help the combat-oriented team by healing and getting them past obstacles such as locks. With light armor and pistols, they should only be used in combat in extreme emergencies.
Their talents allow them to repair and modify equipment, heal the party, disable enemy weapons and shields and unlock doors—they are basically your hackers of the Mass Effect world. They come with all Tech abilities, minor Combat abilities, and no Biotics. They are often quite difficult to play, as you have to ensure their safety during combat.
Vanguard (Nemesis/Shock Trooper Talents)
- Starting Talents: Pistols, Assault Training, Throw, Warp, Vanguard
- Unlockable Talents: Shotguns, Tactical Armor, Lift, Barrier
- Specialization: Commando/Operative
If you like combat but also like to manipulate the environment, then the Vanguard is the class to pick. With powerful combat skills and the ability to specialize in Biotics, they are one of the more dangerous classes and a good choice for intermediate players.
They are ideal in close combat, but you should keep a Tech close by as they will need healing—they are not as hardy as the soldier. They are almost like your shock troopers that go in for a quick and efficient kill.
Vanguards (like soldiers) are the first into battle—they can combine their Biotics with their Combat skills to great effect. They should be used to disable the enemy, reducing their armor, etc., while protecting themselves—then, when they are close in combat, they can use their superior abilities to destroy the weakened opponent while being protected from major damage.
Sentinel (Biotic/Tech Talents)
- Starting Talents: Throw, Barrier, Decryption, First Aid, Sentinel
- Unlockable Talents: Lift, Stasis, Electronics, Medicine
- Specialization: Bastion/Medic
The Sentinel combines Tech and Biotic to create a very defensive class that can defend themselves and allies and can heal the party. They are very poor at combat, so they will always be outside of combat, darting in to heal when required.
They are great to assist the party in several ways: as they can manipulate objects, they can keep the party moving; this, combined with Tech, allows your party to go almost anywhere. All this, combined with their healing abilities, makes them a great support class. They are quite difficult to play as they are weak in combat and can be taken out pretty easily if not guarded well.
While they are durable, their lack of Combat skills means that in a fair fight, they will lose.
Infiltrator (Combat/Tech Talents)
- Starting Talents: Pistols, Tactical Armor, Electronics, Decryption, Infiltrator
- Unlockable Talents: Sniper Rifles, Fitness, Damping, First Aid
- Specialization: Commando/Operative
The Infiltrator is my personal favorite class. This class combines Combat and Tech to great effect allowing you to disable and kill enemies. With the Tech abilities, you are able to find different routes and often are able to find additional equipment that a soldier would not be able to find. When used correctly, they can find a route that will give you a distinct tactical advantage over enemies.
They are tough combatants but also have the ability to keep your party moving through locked doors, coded doors, etc.—with the Tech abilities, they often can disable enemies' shields and defenses.
The downside is their lack of Biotic, and therefore it’s essential at times to have a strong Biotic accompanying your Infiltrator. This is a good class for intermediate players.
What Are the Specializations in Mass Effect?
Specialized class talents are unlocked after completing the UNC: Rogue VI assignment on Luna. Each initial class has a choice of two of the six specializations. The specialization will add new traits.
- Bastion is a specialist class for Adepts and Sentinels. Bastions are experts at the Stasis talent—this allows enemies pinned by Stasis to still receive damage. It’s a great skill to use against very large enemies allowing the combat-oriented classes to get close to them without taking much damage.
- Shock Troopers is a specialist class for Vanguards and Soldiers. With increased health and damage protection and the addition of Immunity, Barrier, and Adrenaline Burst abilities, combat-oriented classes become that much more powerful, allowing them to excel in every conceivable combat situation.
- Commando is a specialist class for Infiltrator and Soldier. With an increase in damage for weapons, extra immunity, and the addition of Marksman and Assassination abilities, they become perfect for stealth combat, taking out opponents with precisions. This is ideal when trying to avoid larger groups of enemies by stealthily taking out key opponents.
- Nemesis is a specialist class for the Adept and Vanguard. With increased Biotic, these classes are able to interact with the surrounding area with devastating effects—additionally, with more focused powers, they are able to do a lot more damage to opponents—this is especially needed when facing fortified opponents.
- Medic is a specialist class for Engineers and Sentinels. With improved First Aid, Medicine, and a large increase in the recharge rate of the abilities, they become superb support classes, especially during long and arduous battles. With the added increase for Neural Shock, they also become a valuable offensive element, especially during siege scenarios.
- Operative is a specialist class for Engineers and Infiltrators. With improvements to Overload and Sabotage and an increase in the way these classes can manipulate the environment, they become very powerful, especially during defensive combat situations.
Mass Effect Class Talents
Below is a table that includes the corresponding talents for each class.
- Y = Starting
- O = Unlockable
- X = Starting Ability with Extra Point

@Judi Bee - if you plan on playing them, I would recommend ME1, definitely the second for its much more refined play and options. ^^
Judi Brown from UK on May 06, 2012:
I have to admit that I have never played an RPG before (I didn't even know what that was until I read your hub - see, I've learnt something already!) but it looks kind of interesting ... now I just need to find some time!
Voted up etc.
Penelope Hart from Rome, Italy on May 05, 2012:
Superb description of the game and 'Classes'. I might end up playing this game in the winter, instead of cross stitching. My companion would be a Vanguard and I'd be a Sentinel.
Jimmy the jock from Scotland on May 05, 2012:
A great guide to the game for beginners and experienced players alike, thanks for sharing.....jimmy
John Roberts from South Yorkshire, England on May 04, 2012:
In all honesty, I think it was Morrowind and Oblivion which hit the nail on the head - choosing what role you want (melee, stealth or magic), then abilities and then a name. Fallout 3 did it well too, what with there being many choices such as primary stats and perks. Mass Effect's system is one I really like, but if it was mixed with DA a li'l bit, I'd love it more.
However, you've been playing RPGs for 30 years, so you're the one who knows best ^^
Simon (author) from NJ, USA on May 04, 2012:
JGG: totally agree! I'd actually prefer a classless system (a bit like Skyrim and/or Fallout 3) but tailored to Mass Effect...
John Roberts from South Yorkshire, England on May 04, 2012:
Excellent Hub, certainly gets my vote up. I'm not complaining about choice, but what would the game have to lose by having a custom class? By choosing 2 out of the three possibilties, then choosing what abilities/weapons you'll start out with, this could aid in character customization much better ^^
Voted up, useful, awesome and interesting. Also sharing ^^
glenn wallace on May 04, 2012:
Wow, great hub! I love the Mass Effect series, and am about to jump into ME3.
Good use of tables to show the differences between the classes. I'd love to see one of these on ME2 and 3 as well.

UNITED KINGDOM — Mars UK officially opened a new state-of-the-art warehousing facility in partnership with DHL. Located in the United Kingdom, the new facility represents the completion of Mars UK’s new “world-class” logistics operation set to advance the company’s sustainability efforts.
Mars UK invested £350 million (nearly $445.9 million USD) in the project. The facility, called London Thames Gateway, reaches 42 meters (nearly 138 feet) in height, making it one of the tallest distribution centers in Europe, according to Mars UK.
London Thames Gateway is part of Mars UK’s project to create a more sustainable, agile and smarter logistics network for its human and pet food products. The streamlined operations include automated pallet storage and retrieval (ASRS) technology, as well as high frequency equipment charging, LED lighting, rainwater harvesting and more, allowing the facility to use up to 30% less energy and reducing Mars UK’s logistics carbon footprint by 7.7%.
The facility also features 3,700 solar panels that produce 27% of the facility’s power, and the plant has achieved BREEAM Outstanding accreditation. Alongside its sustainable operations, the new warehouse’s location features “strong transport links,” according to Mars UK, enabling the company to streamline both inbound and outbound distribution. This streamlining is expected to help the company remove one million miles of transport from roads annually.
“Today is a major milestone for Mars UK’s logistics operations and a meaningful step in our sustainability journey,” said Adam Grant, general manager, Mars Wrigley UK. “Over the past few years, our partnership with DHL has seen the completion of two pioneering facilities. Not only does this futureproof our distribution practices, it also puts into action Mars’ aim to create a world-class logistics operation that is sustainable, smart and agile.”
The London Thames Gateway facility joins Mars UK’s other sustainable logistics facility, called Midlands Gateway. Combined, the facilities represent Mars’ $1 billion Sustainable in a Generation plan, which aims to reduce the company’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 27% by 2025 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
The logistics facilities will increase Mars UK’s warehousing capacity by more than 50% for its Petcare, Wrigley and Chocolate divisions. Mars UK currently transports more than 1.2 million pallets of products a year, including those from its Whiskas® and Pedigree® pet nutrition brands.
Not only are the facilities set to provide several benefits for Mars UK, but the buildings also support DHL’s dedication to achieve net-zero logistics related emissions by 2050.
“This project with Mars UK further solidifies our belief that working with partners whose business and sustainability targets align with your own allows you to achieve the best results,” said Saul Resnick, chief executive officer of DHL Supply Chain United Kingdom and Ireland. “This partnership does exactly that — it represents a great example for others of how businesses can work together to reduce carbon footprint and create a more sustainable future. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Mars UK and supporting the company’s growth in the years to come.”

I was wrong: people really are content with our political system
Looks like it's time for a mea culpa.
It seems Americans are overwhelmingly content with how our political system is functioning.
I believe there were only four candidates who were on the ballot in enough states to form an electoral college majority. Democrat Obama, Republican Romney, Green Jill Stein and Libertarian Gary Johnson.
If you wanted a candidate who represented real human beings (presuming you didn't consider corporations to be such), if you wanted someone who opposed militarism and if you wanted someone who opposed corporate control of government, there were only two choices: Stein and Johnson. They were very different candidates but they were the only candidates who were pushing those fundamental conditions needed to make America into a true republican democracy.
I thought the time was right for a decent smaller party showing. People were very lukewarm about Obama and Romney. The last few years saw some very significant grassroots movements in the Tea Party (which we forget really was grassroots originally before it was hijacked by the far right money machine), by Occupy movement and the Ron Paul insurgency inside the Republican Party. This was anti-establishment discontent we hadn't seen since the days of the Vietnam aggression. Johnson and Stein were two very active, substantive candidates. They were aggressive in their use of social media (whose influence on politics is vastly overstated but in the face of a media blacklist, it was the best they could do). Each represented a significant demographic: true small government advocates dissatisfied with Republican hypocrisy on the issue and progressives disillusioned with Obama's complete abandonment of their agenda. I knew the media blacklist would be a significant barrier but I still Johnson and Stein had a reasonable shot to get 5 or 6 percent of the vote between them.
They actually combined to get 1.3 percent of the vote; all smaller candidates only combined for 2 percent. Now, 1.3 and 2 percents were orders of magnitude greater than the amount of media coverage they received, but it was still only 2 percent who voted for real change of some sort or other to our political system.
Thus 98 percent of voters voted to fundamentally preserve the status quo.
Americans complain about divided government but elected another divided government.
Congress has an approval rating of 21 percent but 90-something percent of incumbents were re-elected, as is usually the case.
People complain about both Democrats and Republicans but over 99 percent of members of Congress will be of those two parties.
Everything bad piece of public policy Americans complain about was enacted by Republicans, Democrats or, more often, both. Every 'onerous tax,' every 'job killing regulation,' every billion wasted on corporate welfare, every war of aggression that you complain about was enacted by one or both of the parties supported by 98 percent of the voters.
From this, I can draw one of two conclusions. Either Americans are actually fairly satisfied with the functioning of our political system or they are unhappy but aren't really interested in doing anything about it. Either way, the incessant whining is not compatible with either of these two options. If you're happy, why are you whining? If you're unhappy, then go beyond whining and try to do something about it.
I was wrong. I believed people when they said they wanted certain things or held certain values. But I guess was wrong to assume they'd vote for those things or values. And of course, some truly did. But from what I can tell, most didn't. Most voted against a candidate, not for one. That's their prerogative. And I'd be wrong to say I don't understand the reasoning. But I simply fail to see how change will every happen if only 2 percent of the people are willing to make it happen.
Or maybe they really don't want it to happen. Maybe they are not interested in any sort of real change on the federal level. So be it. I accept that's democracy. Just quit whining when you get what you choose.
Now people need to take the next step and quit whining about what they don't want or are not willing to change.
