It seems ironic that in the crazy scramble to protect itself from the consequences of the US collapse of the US debt-growth model, China has headed down the same path.
As my fellow blogger Paul Hodges pointed out last Friday, official concerns over the bubbles in equity and property markets are increasing.
Zhang Jianguo, president of the 2nd largest bank, China Construction, has announced a 70% cut in H2 lending to Rmb 200bn ($29bn), “to avert a surge in bad debt”.
What’s also alarming is that the government is getting increasingly alarmed that too much lending has gone into speculation rather than where it’s supposed to go – investment in infrastructure.
This again raises the danger that chemical companies have made unrealistic assumptions about underlying demand.
And this article, by Chen Changhua writing in the Chinese newspaper, Cajing, includes the following point:
“How quickly a country can recover from an economic slump is determined by the productivity of the country. Japan has not been able to recover from the 1990s slump mainly because there are not enough competitive new-generation enterprises to replace old enterprises. “
He warns the same fate could befall China unless the state-owned enterprises, the beneficiaries of much of the huge amounts of new lending, face tougher competition from the private sector.
Never underestimate the power of vested interests.

Treasure Sought Near Winding River Road
ASHS column for 06 08 2006
Ah! 'Tis magnolia and hummingbird time down South - heat and dust, too - but, all in all, a good time remembering. The weekend before Memorial Day, Bob and Barbara Calloway, Don Sales and Margaret Collier went over to the Atmore Public Library for Kevin McKinley's book signing. Kevin was dutifully guarded by a Confederate soldier in case some d. Yankee took exception over his accounts of the local skirmishes didn't please. If you haven't read "Shadows and Dust, The Journal of the Confederate Experience in Northwest Florida and Southwest Alabama," you should avail yourself of a copy as soon as possible.
Actually, in the untimely heat we are
experiencing now, you would do well to
settle into your air-conditioned home with
this book for an informative and relaxing,
safe way to while away some hours.
After leaving Kevin, the four of us drove
down to Bay Minette to enjoy lunch and
then a visit to the Civil War Expo that was
held in the Civic Center. That was an eye-
opening experience! I had never seen so
many authentic and reproduction weapons
outside of museums.
There was bona fide music being played
and sung by appropriately garbed musicians
to make exhibit viewing and shopping quite
pleasant. At two different times, we went i
nto a court room for lectures about Confed-
erate generals. Hopefully, we made enough
contacts to have some of the speakers and
exhibitors come to visit the Society. Stay
tuned for further information. The Society has these mini-excursions from time to time,
so join us if you would like to have such a trip or if you have one to suggest.
An excursion of sorts occurred a couple of weeks back when Bob Callaway and Don Sales traveled to Indiana with J. R. Phillips, of Eight-Mile, AL. You may remember J.R. from a couple years ago when our quest to Bring Back Old 100 began. Phillips is THE expert on Old 100, having worked with steam locomotives for the better part of his 87 years. He was part of the team that rescued Old 100 from the scrapper’s torch back in 1974.
The purpose of this trip was to make contact with the Whitewater Valley Railroad once more to make more certain determination of what will be needed to restore it in Century. The focus was to take another physical inventory to make sure all the parts were still there and to put a plan together to get them packed up when we have the money in hand. More on this as it develops!
Now it is time to return to The Winding River Road account. In the last column we learned how John Diamond acquired all of this information over a period of time by accompanying his various family members.
* * *
After all the links connecting the log and timber landings on the river, the several sawmills on the creeks and many of the pioneer home sites the Winding River Road was as follows: Beginning at the Johnson Mill on Moore's Creek near the edge of the Escambia River Swamp, the road ran almost due north approximately one mile, passing near the Waters Lake log and timber landing. It continued in a northerly direction along the edge of the river swamp and hammocks to the McDavid Mill Creek. Just before crossing this creek the road passed near the famous spring of "Healing Waters."
Near this spring the road ran close by the home sites of two famous pioneer settlers, R. T. McDavid and Duncan McArthur. Both of these men reared large families. Joel A. McDavid, a son of Mr. McDavid, served his county many years as chairman of the Board of County Commissioners. W. F. McArthur, a son of Mr. McArthur, served his county many years as Chairman of the County School Board.
From the bridge on the McDavid Mill Creek the road ran northeastward across a low flat area often referred to as "River Flats," to a ford on the Diamond Mill Creek just below the Diamond mill. At this point the road passed near the homes of two pioneer citizens, Hon. Joel McDavid and John T. Diamond. Other noted pioneer families residing in this immediate neighborhood were McMillans, McKinnons, Halls and Wilkinsons.
At this point the road passed near the Old Coon Hill Mission Station of early pioneer days, up on the Piney-woods Branch-just above the head of the Diamond Mill pond. This Mission Station later became the Damascus Baptist church. From the ford on the Diamond Mill Creek, the road continued in a northeasterly direction to a ford on the Cobb Mill Creek.
Near this place the road ran hard by the homes of two noted pioneer citizens, Hon. Wily J. Williams and Mr. Washington Cobb. Mr. Williams served his county a number of years as Tax Collector. A short distance before reaching the ford on the Cobb Mill Creek the road passed near the once
famous Coon Hill Race track.
Horse racing flourished here prior to the Civil War when fleet footed Spanish ponies mixed with Arabian strains were raced against each other and farm horses from nearby South Alabama. After the Civil War and carpet bag days were over, mustang ponies brought from Texas and Mexico were raced on the track against each other and against the Spanish ponies. When timber prices were high and money plentiful, betting was fast and wagers high. Interest in this track faded away with the downfall of timber prices in 1871. By the late seventies the track closed never to be reopened. Tradition is such that gold and silver money was buried near this track many years ago by gamblers. Many holes were dug here 30 or 40 years ago by treasure hunters.
* * *
Okay. Now before you drag out your metal detectors and go hunting buried treasure, let me tell you that a better pursuit is to join the Society at our next meeting, June 20,6 P.M., in The Leach House. One of our speakers will be Terry Bates who will tell us of his experience, at twelve years of age, helping his father take down Mr. Hauss' house, moving it to Santa Rosa County and rebuilding it there. He will be bringing pictures and other artifacts of great interest, so mark your calendar NOW!

In his General Theory Keynes presented an explanation of the Great Depression of 1930’s and suggested measures for the solution. He also presented his own theory of income and employment. According to Keynes, in the short period, level of national income and so of employment is determined by aggregate demand and aggregate supply in the country. The equilibrium of national income occurs where aggregate demand is equal to aggregate supply. This equilibrium is also called effective demand point.
Effective demand represents that aggregate demand or total spending (consumption expenditure and investment expenditure) which matches with aggregate supply (national income at factor cost). In other words effective demand is the signi factor of the equilibrium between aggregate demand (C + I) and aggregate supply (C + S). This equilibrium position (effective demand) indicates that the entrepreneur neither have tendency to increase production. It implies that the national income and employment which correspond to the effective demand are equilibrium levels of national income and employment. Keynesian theory of income and employment emphasises that the equilibrium level of employment would not necessarily be full employment. It can be below or above the level of full employment.
The determinants of effective demand and so of equilibrium level of national income and employment are the aggregate demand and aggregate supply.
1. AGGREGATE DEMAND:
Aggregate demand refers to sum of expenditure, households, firms and the government is undertaking on consumption and investment in economy. The aggregate demand price is the amount of money which the entrepreneurs expect to receive as a result of the sale of output produce by the employment of certain number of workers. As increase in the level of employment lowers it the aggregate demand curve AD would be positively slopping signifying that as the level of employment increases the level of output also increases, thereby increasing of aggregate demand for goods. The aggregate demand thus depends directly on the level of real national income and indirectly on the level of employment.
2. AGGREGATE SUPPLY:
The aggregate supply refers to the flow of output produced by the employment of workers in an economy during a short period. In other words the aggregate supply is the value of final output valued at factor cost. The aggregate supply price is the minimum amount of money which the entrepreneur must receive to cover the costs of output produced by the employment of certain number of workers. The aggregate supply is denoted by (C + S) because a part of this is consumed (c) and other part is saved (S) in the form of inventories of unsold output. The aggregate supply curve (C + S) is positively slopped indicating that as the level of employment increases the level of output also increases, thereby increasing the aggregate supply. Thus aggregate supply (C + S) depends upon the level of employment through the economy’s aggregate production function.
DETERMINATION OF LEVEL OF EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME:
According to Keynes, the equilibrium levels of national income and employment are determined by the interaction of aggregate demand curve (AD) and aggregate supply curve (AS). The equilibrium level of income determined by the equality of AD and AS does not necessarily indicate the full employment level. The equilibrium position between aggregate demand and aggregate supply can be below or above the level of full employment.
In above figure the aggregate demand curve (C + I) intersects the aggregate supply curve (C + S) at point E1 which is an effective demand point. At point E' the equilibrium of national income is OY1. Let us assume that in generating of OY1 level of income some of the workers willing to work have not been absorbed. It means that E1 (effective demand point) is an under employment equilibrium and OY1 is under employment level of income.The unemployed workers can be absorbed if the level of output can be increased from OY1 to OY2 which we assume is the full employment level. We further assume that due to spending by government the aggregate demand curve (C + I + G) rises. As a result of this economy moves from lower equilibrium point E1 to higher equilibrium point E2. The OY is now the new equilibrium level of income along with full employment. Thus E2 denotes full employment equilibrium position of economy. Thus government spending can help to achieve the full employment.
following are certain similarities and difference between private accounting and social accounting.
1. Private accounting is done on the method of double entry book-keeping. That is each transaction is recorded twice in the books of the business an for instance a cash sale will be entered once in the appropriate ledger accounts as a credit to the good sold and it is again entered in the cash amount as a debit in respect of the cash received. In social accounting, however, cash transect on are not separately presented. On the other hand cash balances are recorded in the capital transaction account. This shows that social accounting also asrpts the double entry method but the second entries are not recorded in detail.
2. An other difference between private accounting and social accounting is that private accounts relate to the individual businessmen. Each transaction is thus recorded from one point of view only. On the contrary social accounts related to a connected and closed network of all businessmen. There are no loose ends. Each transaction is recorded from the point of view of the two transactors connected with it.
3. The third difference between private accounting and social accounting is that the accounts of private businessmen are usually presented in the form of a profit and loss account which shows income and its allocation. There is also set out a balance sheet which shows the stock of assets and liabilities at the end of accounting period. The profit and loss account of a private individual resembles in social account ting to what is called as the appropriation account. The only difference is that in private accounting, the profit often includes some elements of costs such as depreciation of plant and machinery and fees paid to the directors of company. On the other hand in social accounting these incomes are shown net. There is no counterpart at all of balance sheet in social accounting since there are insuperable difficulties in collecting the necessary information completely and on a uniform basis regarding assets and liabilities of all transactors in the economy.
Uses of Social Accounting
Uses of social accounting are given below:
(i) One purpose of the preparation of social accounting is to give the reader a clear picture of the economy as a whole. In social accounting we find a classified account of the various transactions entered into the various sectors of the economy. From these transactions, we can have a fairly clear view of the working of the entire economic system. These days we are not interested so much in the accounts of private businessmen, however big and prominent they may be. On the other hand we are interested in the health of economy and the way in which it functions. It is understood that a healthy economy is able to impart strength and health even to the economic affairs of private individual intelligent citizens are keen to know that how an economy is faring at particular moment or in a particular period of time. This is clearly reflected in social accounting.
(ii) We are all fairly familiar with the objectives placed before our Five Year Plans. They all relate to the economy as a whole. We want economic growth with stability or we want to build up a self reliant and self generating economy. How far we are able to achieve these objectives can be very well found out from the depreciation of various transactions and activities given in social accounting. Thus if we want to promote efficiency and stability of our economy preparation of social accounts is must.
(iii) Measurement of economic welfare is another purpose of the preparation of social accounts. We have mentioned above our Five Year Plans. At the end of each plan, we naturally like to known how far the masses have benefited from the plan. In other words we want to know o what extent economic welfare of the masses has been promoted. From social accounting and its study we can know at glance to what extent the masses are better off than at the time when planning started.
(iv) There is another important use which social accounting serves. From study of social accounting we are in position to find out how the different sectors of economy are inter-related to each other. We can for instance find out to what extent the industrial sector depends on the agricultural sector. We can also know to what extent the growth of our export sector is conditioned by our industrial and agricultural growth. To economists and persons engaged in economic planning. These inter-relationships are of very great use. In fact the information that social accounting furnishes about the mutual relationship of the various sectors of the economy is indispensable.(v) Social accounting serves a very practical purpose for the statesman, the government administrator and the politician. It is on the basis of social accounts that intelligent and effective government policies in fiscal, monetary and other economic spheres can be formulated and executed.
An open economy is an economy having economic dealings with other countries of the world. Simple representation of an economy discussed in closed economy seems to be unrealistic when we think of what happens in the economic system actually. We find that in practice economic system are seldom self contained. On the other hand, they enter into extensive economic relationship with other economic system. To put it into simple language we can say that no country in the world is self sufficient. There may have been a time when various territorial units were ignorant of the existence of one another and led a self contained economic life. It is said that villages of our country were at one time self-sufficient economically i.e. they consumed what they produced and produced only for domestic consumption. Such a situation no longer exists. On other hand we find that there are extensive trading and capital transaction taking place between one country is not self sufficient. Thus we find that economic system of the world represented by individual countries is very closely interrelated. In social accounts are to be realistic we have to introduce this new element in social accounts which may be represented by rest of the world. Hence for an open economy we can classify the social accounts into (a) Production (b) Consumption (c) Rest of the world and (d) Accumulation. The rest of the world stands for the totality of other economies with which the economy in question is connected by virtue of economic relationship i.e. buying and selling, borrowing and lending etc.
In this diagram imports and exports of the country in question from and to the rest of the world have been shown. These are shown by flows connecting production with the rest of the world. In the view of the fact that the value of the exports and imports is seldom equal to each other, we show in the diagram an arrow towards the rest of the world from accumulation. This flow is called net lending abroad. This is a situation in respect of a country which has a favourable balance on current account which has a favourable balance on current account which it lends to abroad.
In the above diagram the flow into any given box sum up to the same total as the flows which go out of that box. The total has to be same, it can not be otherwise. We therefore get the following equations.
In the above equations Y stands for income (paid on payable to the factors of production) C is consumer’s expenditure on commodities, S is the saving and I is investments, the X stands for exprts M for imports and L for net amount lend. By substituting for L from equation 3 into 2 and then for s in from 2 into 1 we get the equation.
This equation shows that income payments are equal to consumption expenditures plus capital expenditure on real assets. Plus the excess of the value of exports over the value of imports.
There is no doubt that this diagram is more realistic but is not sufficiently detailed as to give a complete picture of the economic system actually in operation. It does not contain provision for deprivation which is very necessary since buildings and machinery do not last for ever. Provision for deprivation is taken directly to accumulation to serve as source for funds meant for the replacement of real assets.
Secondly we have to take into account taxes, both direct and indirect levied by government and its subsidies given by it. We also to take not of the fact that the number of transactions between the economy in question and the rest of the world is much greater than described here.Thus the actual situation to be represented by social accounts becomes very much complicated. If the social accounts are to be realistic the flow & called consumption expenditure going from consumption to production should include not only the consumption expenditures of the individuals and non-profit institution but also public consumption i.e. of public agencies. It may be more convenient to route these expenditures abroad through the domestic productive system which will therefore appear both as imports and as purchases from production. Similarly the flows of savings going from consumption to accumulation should include no only the savings of individuals, non profit institutions and business ferias but also savings by government agencies. In case the government has a deficit on current accounts showing negative saving the flow of saving by the private sector over the negative saving of public sector.
A closed economy is one which is self-contained and self-sufficient so that it has no economic dealings with the outside world. In a closed economy the accounts may be prepared on a uniform basis and classified as (i) transactions relating to productive activity (ii) transaction relating to the use of gain from productive activity (iii) transactions relating to capital. By consolidating these accounts prepared for each firm, house hold, government agencies and every other transactor, we get three consolidated national accounts (a) Production (or operating) Account (b) Consumption (or appropriation) Account (c) Accumulation (or capital transaction) Account. Let us explain there three accounts.
In this account we include all productive activities being carried on in the entire economy. It is a consolidated production statement relating to all firms operating in the economy. These firms manufacture commodities meant for consumption and capital goods and equipment for generating accumulating wealth. The income obtained by these firms therefore comes through two channels viz partly by selling consumption goods and partly be selling capital equipments. The flow of this revenue is indicated by the direction of the arrows.
In these accounts purchases and sells by the firms from one another have obviously to be left out. They may be important for individual accounts but in the national or social accounts they cancel out.
In the above diagram, all proceeds of the sales of production are shown as being paid out as income to the factors of production i.e. to those who have taken part in the process of production. These payments take the form of wages to labour, salaries to the employees interest on capital, rent the land lord i.e. the owners of land and business premises and profit going to the entrepreneur. The incomes are shown in the diagram as flowing from production its consumption by an arrow.
The incomes received by the factors production may be either spent on consumption i.e. for the satisfaction of their immediate wants or they may be party saved. The income spent on commodities is shown by an arrow going towards production from consumption and the part which is saved is shown by the arrow going from consumption to accumulation. Transactions of the consumers among themselves paying cash to one another are ignored just as we ignored the buying and selling activities of the producers among themselves.
We have seen that whole of the sale proceeds of production go into consumption and consumption income is divided into spending and saving. It follows therefore that saving is equal to capital expenditure on real assets or investments. Thus we get following two equations
Y = C + S -------------(1)
S = I -------------------(2)
Here Y stands for income paid to the factors of production, C stands for consumers expenditure on commodities and services and S is saving (for income not consumed) I is investment (or capital expenditure on real assets) If we substitute for S from equation (2) into equation (1) we get the following equation.
Y = C + I ---------------(3)There relationships pertain to simple closed economy which has no trading or financial relations with rest of the world.
The Social Accounting is a term which is applied to the description of the various types of economic activities that are taking place in the community in a certain institutional frame work. In Social Accounting we are concerned with statistical classification of the economic activity so that we are able to understand easily and clearly the operation on the economy as a whole. In the words of Stone and Murray “The term social accounts is used in a general sense to denote an organized arrangement of all transactions, actual or imputed in an economic system. In such a system distinctions are drawn between (i) Forums of economic activity, namely production, consumption and accumulation of wealth (ii) Sectors or institutional division of the economy and (iii) types of transactions, such as sales and purchases of goods and services, gifts, taxes and other current transfers etc.
Here is another version about the filed of social accounting. “The field of studies-summed up by the words “social accounting” embraces however not only the classification of economic activity but also the application of the information thus assembled to the investigation of the operation of the economic system. Social Accounting is thus concerned with the analytical as well as statistical elements of the study of national accounts.
In social accounting a transactor is supposed to keep a set of three accounts in which transactions are entered
(a) In the first account, incomes and outgoings relating to a productive activity of the transactor are brought together. The difference between the two indicates the profit or the gain.
b) The second account seeks to show how this profit and any other income that accrues to the transactor are allocated to different uses. The excess of income over rutlay is the measure of savings.
(c) The third account shows how this saving and any other capital funds are used to finance the capital. Expenditure or to give loans to other transactors. These accounts show the assets and liabilities of the person concerned at the beginning and at the end of whole, the transactors are numerous, they are grouped into sectors. In the sector, accounts of a same type are consolidated.
Social accounting or preparation of social accounts has assumed great importance in modern times. This is so because modern theory is being increasingly applied for the solution of economics is to be fruitful, knowledge of social accounts is absolutely essential. In the absence of a clear picture of the working of economy, an economist is seriously handicapped in giving practical advice to the government or to businessman. It is only with the help of social accounting that one can clearly trace the effects of changes in one section of the economy on the other section. Now we can briefly explain the main purposes of social accounting.
(i) One purpose of the preparation of social accounting is to give reader a clear picture of the whole economy. As in social accounting we find classified accounts of the various transactions entered into various sectors of the economy. From these transactions we can have fairly clear view of the working of the entire economic system.
(ii) We all are interested in the health, efficiency and stability of the economy since, a healthy and efficient economy results into health and efficiency of individual business. We all are familiar with the objectives placed before our Five-Year plans. They all relate to the economy as a whole. We want economic growth with stability or we want to build up self reliant and self-generating economy. How far we are able to achieve these objectives can be very well found out from the description of various transactions and activities given in social accounting. Thus if we want to promote efficiency and stability of our economy, preparation of social accounts is must.
(iii) Measurement of economic welfare is another purpose of preparation of social accounts. We have mentioned above our Five-Year Plans. At the end of each plan we naturally like to know how far the masses have benefited from the plan. In other words, we want to know to what extent economic welfare of masses has been promoted. From social accounting we can know at a glance to what extent the masses are better off at the time when planning started.
(iv) There is another important use which social accounting serves. From study of social accounts we are in position to find out how the different sectors of the economy are inter-related to each other. We can for instance find out to what extent the industrial sector depends on the agricultural sector and vice versa we can also know to what extent the growth of our export sector is conditioned by our industrial and agricultural growth to the economists and to persons engaged in economic planning these inter-relationships are of very great use.(v) Social accounting serves a very practical purpose for statesman, the government administrator and the politician. It is on the basis of social accounting that intelligent and effective government policies in fiscal, monetary and other economic spheres can be formulated and executed. In the absence of social accounts, such policies can well be miss-leading and may result in economic disasters. The national resources are limited and it will be criminal to fritter them away. It is therefore very necessary that every care is taken in the formulation of national policies. Only social accounts can give us proper guidance in this connection.
The term National Income has been defined by various economists According to Collin Clark “The National Income for any period consists of the money value of the goods and services becoming available for consumption during that period, reckoned at their current selling value, plus additions to capital reckoned at the prices actually paid for the new capital goods unless depreciation and obsolescence of existing capital goods and adding the net accretion of or deducting the net drawings upon stock, also reckoned at the current prices.”
In the words of Pigon “National Income is that part of the objective income of the community including of course income derived from absorbed which can be measured in money.”
We can say that National Income is the sum total of all the commodities and services produced by the residents of a country during a given period of time, conventionally one year. This national income is estimated by
(i) Product or output method (ii) Income method (iii) Expenditure method.
These methods are discussed in detail as under:
(i) The product or Output Method: This method approaches national income from the output side. According to this method, the economy is divided into different sectors such as agriculture, mining, manufacturing, small enterprises, commerce, transport, communication and other services. Then the gross product is found out by adding up net values of all the production that has taken place in these sectors during a given year.
In order to arrive at the net value of production of a given industry, the purchases of the producers of this industry form producers of other industries or sectors are deducted from the gross value of production of that industry. The aggregate or net values of production of _____ the industries and sectors of economy plus the net income from abroad will give us Gross National Product. By subtracting the total amount of depreciation from the figure of gross national product we get the net national product or national income. This method of estimating national income enables us to trace the origin of national income aggregate to the different sectors of the economy. Therefore this is called national income by industrial origin.
(ii) Income Method: This method approaches national income from the distribution side. In other words this method measures the national income after it has been distributed and appears as income earned or received by individuals of the country. Thus according to this method national income is obtained by summing up of the incomes all individuals in the country. Individuals earn income by contributing their own services and the services of their property such as land and capital to the national production. Therefore national income is calculated by adding up rent of land, wages and salaries of the employees, interest on capital, profits of entrepreneurs (including undistributed profits of joint stock companies) and income of self employed people.
This method of estimating national income has the great advantage of indicating the distribution of national income among different income groups such as landlords, capitalists, workers etc. Therefore this method is called national income by distributive shares.
(iii) Expenditure Method: This method approaches national income by adding up all expenditures made on good and services during a year. Income can be spent either on consumer goods or investment goods. Thus we can get national income by summing up all consumption expenditure and investment expenditure made by all individuals as well as government of a country during a year. Hence the gross national product is found by adding up
(a) What privale individuals spend on consumer goods and services? This is called personal consumption expenditure.
(b) What privale business spends on replacement, renewals and new investment? This is called gross domestic private investment.
(c) What the foreign countries spend on the goods and services of the national economy over and above what this economy spends on the output of the foreign countries i.e. exports minus imports.(d) What the government spends on the purchase of goods and services i.e. government purchases we have explained above three alternative methods of estimating national income. The best way to arrive at national income will be to employ all these three methods so as to permit their cross checking ensuring greater accuracy and throwing light on details.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) found it necessary to regularize the extent of national territorial seas. The convention came up with a proposal of a 12-nautical mile limit to territorial seas that replaced the traditional 3-mile limit as well as other claims of over 200 miles that were made by Latin American countries (Blacksell 176). The extension of territorial waters by nations has since raised myriads of problems. The problems have further been worsened by the rise in piracy on the high seas and the reluctance of nations to sign maritime treaties into law.
According to UNCLOS, states have the freedom of navigation as well as the right to overfly in the high seas (Blacksell 177). With this freedom curtailed by increasing cases of piracy, nations should collaborate or work together to address the problem. The high seas in the east coast of Africa have witnessed several piracy incidents over the years. Somali pirates have been responsible for the rising piracy incidents in the region over the years. Piracy is a global problem since it affects ships, people, crews, and cargoes from all over the world. Thus, a collaborative legal and operational approach by nations would be the best way of maintaining the freedom of navigation in high seas. In the east coast of Africa, Somalia’s neighbours such as Kenya should be ready to arrest and convict Somali pirates. Also, other nations such as the U.S., UK, India, and others should focus on providing military support and surveillance of high sea areas prone to it. It is only by coming together that nations can address the piracy problem and maintain freedom of navigation.

Lan Zhan (蓝湛 Lán Zhàn), courtesy name Lan Wangji (蓝忘机, Lán Wàngjī) is the second young master of the Lan clan. Titled as Hanguang-Jun (含光君, Hánguāng-jūn), Lan Wangji is one of the Two Jades of Lan alongside his older brother, Lan Xichen. After thirteen years of mourning, he recognised Wei Wuxian in the body of Mo Xuanyu and helped to clear Wei Wuxian's name. He later becomes cultivation partners with Wei Wuxian.
Although all of the clans in the cultivation world used extravagant words to describe the Gusu Lan Sect’s uniform as the best-looking uniform and Lan Wangji as an incomparable beauty who only appeared once in a blue moon, nothing could help the bitter facial expression that made him look as though his wife had passed away.
-- Chapter 7
In animation Lan Wangji has long black hair with some of it pulled into a bun. He has golden eyes and wears the Gusu Lan robes and white headband.
Lan Wangji made his reputation spread in the Sunshot Campaign against the Qishan Wen Sect. Following this and the first siege of the Burial Mounds, the next thirteen years would see Lan Wangji become known for 'being where the chaos is'. It is mentioned that during the thirteen years between Wei Wuxian's death and his reincarnation in Mo Xuanyu's body, he is described as looking as if he had lost his wife, due to his intense feelings of love towards Wei Wuxian.
From his youth the marks of a strong conscience and good upbringing could be spotted. He was described by Wei Wuxian as being someone courtly and righteous and well versed in etiquette, unwilling to bend the rules even if he would be dragged down in punishment. In his youth this was tempered by some innocence - he accepted at face value Wei Wuxian's claim that freshly picked lotus seeds would taste better, for one, and was also tricked into picking up a pornographic book by the same person. He always displayed an air of elegance and a face of indifference, which is revealed to be due to his harsh circumstances, including his mother's death, his father's illness, and having been separated from his brother while the Cloud Recesses were burning. Wei Wuxian hypothesises that these are the reasons Lan Wangji grew up to be cold and distant from others.
As he grew up and became more familiar with Wei Wuxian, more and more facets of Lan Wangji become apparent - for one, he tended to be standoffish first but later becomes more and more deeply involved in Wei Wuxian's safety. He is deeply jealous of Wei Wuxian's random flirting with women, and he keeps rabbits. While the exact time when he fell in love with Wei Wuxian is unknown, it is evident that his feelings for him are quite strong. When Wei Wuxian became the Yiling Patriach and kept his distance from Lan Wangji, Lan Wangji did everything in his power to help Wei Wuxian and tried to stop his corruption. He even went against his uncle and injured thirty three elders to protect Wei Wuxian. After Wei Wuxian died, his personality changed. He began to go through the same experiences Wei Wuxian had such as drinking wine and raising rabbits and played inquiry to find his spirit. Despite remaining outwardly aloof and elegant, he demonstrated much greater tolerance for Wei Wuxian's antics and even managed to make a snarky comment back at him mirroring a similar coment Wei Wuxian made in the past. According to Wei Wuxian, he disliked being touched but was shown to be fine with Wei Wuxian touching him later on (though this could be due to his feelings for him). He is shown to have a temper, often getting angered by Wei Wuxian's antics in the past and also being deeply jealous and annoyed when Wei Wuxian gets close to others. He also has a deep sense of honor and justice and cannot stand wrongdoing and evil It can be inferred that he is stubborn and also protective of those he cares for, as evident by his relatinoship with his brother and Wei Wuxian.
When drunk, Lan Wangji becomes incredibly childish, even playing a game of Hide-and-seek with Wei Wuxian. Because of his extremely low tolerance to alcohol, Lan Wangji becomes honest, incapable of lying, to the point of answering all of Wei Wuxian's questions without hesitation. Wen Ning also tends to become the target of his ire - being the next closest being to Wei Wuxian.
Born as the second son of the then-clan leader Qingheng-jun, Lan Wangji was born after Lan Xichen. Due to their mother's cloistering (imprisonment in fact) and his father constantly in seclusion (self-imprisonment), the brothers were raised by their uncle Lan Qiren.
Meeting at the Cloud Recesses
"Alcohol is forbidden in the Cloud Recesses. That's a worse crime."
Killing the Xuanwu
Hunt at Mt Baifeng
Bloodbath of Nightless City - Aftermath
Inquiry for 13 years, waiting for the unreturning one
Mo Family Village
Search for "Our Dear Friend"
Incident at Fangfei Hall
Second Siege of Luanzang Hill
Incident at Guanyin Temple
“I can't leave you……except for you, I don't want anyone else……I won't allow anyone else！”
In their past, Wei Wuxian often tried to befriend Lan Wangji, though Lan Wangji initially did not respond well to his attempts and was often annoyed by him. Despite this, Wei Wuxian still considered him a friend and often tried to get him to open up. Wei Wuxian even protected Lan Wangji against Wen Chao. When the two were secluded in a cave against a turtle demon, Lan Wangji opened up about the situation with the Cloud Recesses being burned, his father dying, and his brother being missing at the time, causing Wei Wuxian to sympathize. The two managed to work together well to escape the cave and Lan Wangji became closer to Wei Wuxian. Unfortunately, after the Wen clan killed most of the Yunmeng Jian Sect at Lotus Pier, Wei Wuxian became the Yiling Patriach to enact revenge, and became distant from Lan Wangji.
Lan Wangji himself had tried to reason with Wei Wuxian and even begged him to come to the Gusu Lan Sect with him so he could protect him, but Wei Wuxian mistook his concern as an attempt to arrest him. Lan Wangji later confessed his love for Wei Wuxian following the events of the bloodbath of Nightless City but Wei Wuxian has been too corrupted to fully comprehend Lan Wangji's confession and rejected him. Before the first siege of the burial mounds, Lan Wangji kissed a blindfolded Wei Wuxian and later Lan Wangji hit his head against a tree multiple times for his action.
When Wei Wuxian died, Lan Wangji desperately searched for his body, to no avail. He mourned his death deeply, changing him inside. He also began to try some of the things Wei Wuxian did and experienced in his life, such as drinking his favorite wine Emperor's Smile and in a drunken state branded himself the same way Wei Wuxian was branded. He even defended Wei Wuxian from his uncle who raised him and thirty three elders and allowed himself to be whipped thirty three times as punishment, leaving him with over thirty scars that would never heal and having to rest for three years. He kept the rabbits that Wei Wuxian gave him and began to like caring for rabbits. He continued to wait for the next thirteen years, playing inquiry in the hopes of meeting his spirit.
When Wei Wuxian is resurrected, Lan Wangji recognised him through Wei Wuxian accidentally playing "Forgetting Envies" and took him back to the Cloud Recesses.
As the two traveled together, it became evident that Lan Wangji still retained deeply intense feelings for Wei Wuxian who was clueless. Such hints included staring angrily at a waiter for putting his hands on Wei Wuxian, getting extremely jealous when Wei Wuxian flirts with women, and when drunk becomes exceedingly clingy to Wei Wuxian. He also does small actions to please Wei Wuxian, such as ordering spicy food despite his lack of preference for it due to Wei Wuxian's love of it, paying for everything during their trip together, and even defending Wei Wuxian from dogs. As the series progresses, Wei Wuxian begins to slowly reciprocate his feelings and the two elope at the book's end.
They make love for the first time in chapter 111 and Lan Wangji is shown to be happy at the idea of being able to spend the rest of his life with Wei Wuxian. On an interesting side note, Lan Wangji (despite being a reserved quiet individual) has a rather perverted side as he seems to enjoy tying up Wei Wuxian (as shown in chapter 44) and also suggested they make love every night. He even had a suggestive dream of the two as teenagers making love (Chapter 117). The two become sweethearts and are rarely seen without the other after they are married. Wei Wuxian is the only person to ever make Lan Wangji smile, as shown in chapters 100 and 111.
As Lan Wangji's older brother, Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji are known as the Two Jades due to their immense beauty and beautiful skin which is similar to white jade. The two are quite close and Lan Xichen is the only person capable of reading Lan Wangji's moods despite never showing expressions. Despite their close relationship, Lan Wangji defended Wei Wuxian from him but Lan Xichen respected his brother's decision. When Lan Xichen goes into seculsion after murdering Jin Guangyao, Lan Wangji often goes to visit him.
As his uncle who raised him, he sees Lan Wangji as the example of a perfect student and cultivator. He is extremely disappointed when Lan Wangji rebels against him to defend Wei Wuxian and keeps a close eye on him since.
As the one who picked up Lan Sizhui from the Burial Mounds while he was trying to look for Wei Wuxian, Lan Sizhui sees Lan Wangji as his father figure and Lan Wangji reciprocates, though is more distant and less hands on than Wei Wuxian when it comes to raising him. At one point, Lan Wangji buried Lan Sizhui in rabbits since Wei Wuxian had once buried Lan Sizhui in the ground up to his head in the hopes of making him grow. Aside from this, he has other wise been a fairly good father figure and mentor.
While the two don't interact as much, the two have a complicated relationship. As the person closest to Wei Wuxian (besides Lan Wangji himself), Lan Wangji is rather jealous of him. When drunk, Wen Ning is usually the target of Lan Wangji's outbursts. Wen Ning, despite normally having a violent temper, never punches back because he feels guilt for having killed some Gusu Sect Clan cultivators in the past despite not having been in control of himself at the time. Nonetheless, aside from his relationship to Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji has a rather neutral opinion of Wen Ning. When Wei Wuxian asks Lan Wangji (while Lan Wangji is drunk and completely honest) if he liked Wen Ning, Lan Wangji answers indifferently.
Not much of their relationship is shown but the two do not get along. When Wei Wuxian is resurrected in Mo Xuanyu's body, Jiang Cheng aggressively tries to grab Wei Wuxian and bring him back to the Jiang Sect to punish him but Lan Wangji intervenes. The two were more than ready to get into a fight over the matter. In the past, the two rarely interacted save for when Wei Wuxian was nearby them but Jiang Cheng did seem to hold a level of respect for Lan Wangji's skills and advised Wei Wuxian not toget close to him since he probably wouldn't be able to make friends with him due to their differing personalities. Jiang Cheng, however, was angered when the Wen Clan massacred his parents and the Lotus Pier as payback for Wei Wuxian defending Lan Wangji and even stated Wei Wuxian should have left him to die in the cave instead of save him. The two became further strained after Wei Wuxian became the Yiling Patriarch and Lan Wangji defended him while Jiang Cheng sought revenge. The two continue to argue regarding their opinion of Wei Wuxian, with Jiang Cheng's hatred clouding his judgement and wanting to kill him while Lan Wangji protects Wei Wuxian. When Wei Wuxian asks Lan Wangji while he is drunk if he liked Jiang Cheng, he gives a scoff and a frown, demonstrating a strong dislike for him. While Jiang Cheng accepts Wei Wuxian as a friend again at the end, it remains to be known where Lan Wangji's relationship with him stands, though it is highly possible it is neutral at best.
Although they have minimal interaction, Lan Wangji recognises Jin Guangyao as his brother's friend. Throughout the events of the book the only time that Lan Wangji sees Jin Guangyao as an enemy is arguably when Jin Guangyao took Wei Wuxian hostage via Chord Assassination.
Abilities & Weapons
- Lan Wangji ranks second on the list of cultivator gentlemen of his generation.
- His fan nickname is Wangji (汪叽), a homophone of his courtesy name.
- On this note, fans also call him "Second Brother Lan" (蓝二哥哥). This is the second of a trend where the semes in Mo Xiang Tong Xiu's works are counted in the order of appearance (Big Brother Luo, Second Brother Lan, Sanlang (third son), etc).
- His (lack of) ability to drink is genetic.
- The phrase "playing Inquiry for thirteen years, waiting for the unreturning one" summarises Lan Wangji's state before the novel's opening.
- He apparently likes to tie up Wei Wuxian during sex.
- Although he possess a mild taste for spicy food, Lan Wangji often tastes spicy dishes to satisfy Wei Wuxian's love for (extremely) spicy food.
- Lan Wangji's love for rabbits originates from Wei Wuxain himself, when he brought two rabbits to Lan Wangji when they were younger. Wangji is revealed to be raising quite the number of rabbits in the Cloud Recesses.

As a coach I read a lot of books that deal with psychology and motivation. The human mind is an amazing thing capable of overcoming and achieving almost anything and the lessons I’ve learned from these books have helped me and my clients a lot over the years.
With enough focused practice you can become great at anything but first you have to believe that the practice can make a difference.
However, along with all the great stuff I’ve found about the power of the mind I’ve also come across the dark side of the topic as well, namely how the mind can sabotage us and hold us back. One way in particular stood out to me yesterday while I was being crushed under the BJJ black belt I train with.
Called Learned Helplessness, it is a mental state where you just give up trying. For me being Mounted or pinned under Side Control by someone who knows how to hold me down has this effect – I keep catching myself just lying there waiting for them to do something because I know I can’t get out.
The problem with this state of mind is that it stops the leaning process, which means you don’t grow from the experience. Instead of focusing on what you can do and what skills you can work on to improve even more you focus on all the reasons you can’t do something.
As I was thinking about this after class I realized that this is the same thing a lot of riders go through with standing pedaling. Between their bad experiences and the constant reinforcement from other riders that it is “hard” they’ve induced a state of Learned Helplessness.
The problem is that – just like with me being pinned under a black belt – it is a lie.
You know it is a lie because you’ve seen other people do what you want to do. I’ve seen people escape a tight Mount or Side Control and you’ve seen riders stand up and pedal at will.
This means that they know something we don’t and we just need to figure out what it is. It all goes back to seeing your experience as one of learning and not just doing.
With enough focused practice you can become great at anything but first you have to believe that the practice can make a difference and that all starts with being on guard against the Learned Helplessness mindset.
If you find yourself saying things like “I’m just not genetically gifted” or “They’ve got more natural talent” or “I need a different bike to ride like that” then just know that you’re setting up artificial excuses to justify your Learned Helplessness.
This is really at the heart of MTB Strength Training Systems – you can become the rider you’ve always wanted to be through focused practice and effort.
So as you go on about your day pay attention to the conversation going on in your head and be on guard against Learned Helplessness in your riding, your training and your everyday life. Life’s too short to be held back by lies so don’t let them get to you.
That’s it for now, if you have any tips you’ve found helpful for overcoming this problem please leave a comment on this blog post. Also, if you’d click on of the Like or Share buttons while your there to help spread the word I’d greatly appreciate it.
Until next time…

LONG BEACH — After 37 years as a couple, Gerrie Schipske and Flo Pickett have tied the knot and are celebrating with a romantic honeymoon to Europe, including a trip to Paris.
Schipske and Pickett exchanged wedding vows June 26 in Sacramento while they vacationed with some friends who live 49 miles south in Stockton.
Schipske, the former Long Beach City Councilwoman who spent two terms representing the 5th District, shared the news on her Facebook page in late July. Schipske was the city’s first open lesbian to serve on the council (2006-2014) and to run for mayor in 2013.
‘IMPORTANT TO CONFIRM OUR RELATIONSHIP’
Schipske and Pickett had been talking about marriage on and off for a year, Schipske, 67, said in an interview.
“We just thought it was the right time,” Schipske said. “We are getting more aware that we don’t have forever.”
Pickett is a realtor and former Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District teacher and counselor.
Schipske has been a registered nurse practitioner, attorney and Cal State Long Beach instructor. She has also served as a Long Beach City College trustee and was the city’s first public information officer in the late 1970s.
“We also made it legal because Flo and I assumed everyone thought we were already married or domestic partners. We thought it important to confirm our relationship,” Schipske said. “Besides, we have three grown children and a grandchild, and we thought it important to them as well to make it legal.”
The honeymoon started July 22 with a week in Paris, followed by two 12-day cruises throughout Northern Europe, including Ireland, Denmark and Germany. Russia is also on the itinerary, Schipske said.
Instead of wedding rings, Schipske and Pickett wear sterling silver wedding bands that their friends purchased for $15.
“We love these simple bands. They are lightweight and they look sweet,” Schipske said. “Every so often, we just hold up our hands to show each other the rings and smile.”
‘WE FEEL SETTLED AND HAPPY’
After 37 years, how does it feel to be married?
“You know, it does feel different. We just were talking about that,” Schipske said. “Somehow we both just feel settled and happy.”

As the winter months are upon us, pet owners must prepare their animals for frigid temperatures, snow, ice, and salt. Animal hospitals and vets may be able to offer you some advice, but even if you’re an experienced pet owner, you may find yourself stumped when it comes to protecting dog paws in winter. If you’re wondering how to make sure your pet’s paws stay healthy and happy during the colder months, then here are a few simple tips to follow.
Invest in booties
Booties can help in protecting dog paws in winter when it is cold. Not only do they keep the paws dry, but they also help to keep your pet’s body temperature at a comfortable, healthy level. The fact that it’s cold outside doesn’t mean you should neglect your daily walks with your pet. It just means it requires a little bit more preparation. Investing in booties also ensures that your pet avoids the potential damage caused by salts and other ice treatment chemicals that litter streets and sidewalks throughout the winter cold. Booties just might help you avoid a trip to animal hospitals.
Get a sweater for your pet
When the colder months approach, it’s a good idea to get the right outdoor gear for you and your pet. Dressing your pet in a sweater is a great way to keep them warm outside. The good news is that it’s never been easier to find a sweater that fits your pet, whether you own a cat, a dog, or something more adventurous. As a matter of fact, you can look at the data to see just how much people tend to spend on their pets. According to data from Forbes Magazine reports, 92% of pet owners spent the same or more on their pets during the most recent recession period. When you acknowledge these figures, it’s clear that you shouldn’t have any trouble finding a store that sells high-quality sweaters for your pet. Pet sweaters keep your pet warm on walks outside, but they also protect your pet’s skin. It helps that pet sweaters are also fun, cute, and customizable!
Always take a towel with you on walks
When you visit most animal hospitals, you will notice that most of them take your pet’s temperature. Body temperature is an important indicator of overall health. Reducing moisture is important if you want your pet to hold its body temperature, especially in the cold. One key to keeping your pet’s paws protected is to keep them dry. While protective booties can certainly take care of a lot of moisture, it’s not always a sure thing. For this reason, you should always bring a towel with you on walks. If you notice any moisture forming on your pet’s paws or anywhere else on its body, wiping it off in a timely manner can help your pet to retain crucial body heat that will ensure it stays healthy for the rest of the journey.
Watch where your pet steps outside
Be cautious of where you allow your pet to step when you go outside. In areas that receive lots of snow and ice, you’ve probably noticed that salt and other deicing chemicals are used to prevent slips and falls on sidewalks. Salts and de-icers are even more abundant on roads, especially if they are busy. While these ice treatments are necessary to keep the roads safe for vehicles and pedestrians alike, they can have harmful effects on your pet’s paws. Make sure you avoid any areas with lots of ice treatments on your next walk.
At Southern Arizona Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center we are happy to provide a wide range of veterinary services to keep your pet happy and healthy throughout the winter months and beyond. Whether you’re looking to stay up on regular animal health visits or if you find yourself in the midst of a veterinary emergency, our team of experienced veterinarians is here to help. When it comes to visiting animal hospitals, we understand that the experience can be full of stress and worry, so we aim to make things as simple as possible.

With the new musical theatre production Death in Venice, the Concertgebouworkest returns to the Royal Theatre Carré for the first time in a long time. This unique co-production with Internationaal Theater Amsterdam (ITA, formerly known as Toneelgroep Amsterdam), is based on Thomas Mann's classic novella and features newly composed music.
In Death in Venice, Thomas Mann tells the story of von Aschenbach - a celebrated German writer representing Mann's alter ego - who meets an innocent adolescent, Tadzio. The writer's intense, uncontrollable infatuation ultimately leads to his spiritual and physical destruction. In Ramsey Nasr's reworking as a musical theatre piece, the characters are performed by actors, but also by orchestral musicians and a singer. Music plays a leading role in the drama.

Microglia, the resident myeloid cells in the central nervous system (CNS) play critical roles in shaping the brain during development, responding to invading pathogens, and clearing tissue debris or aberrant protein aggregations during ageing and neurodegeneration. The original concept that like macrophages, microglia are either damaging (pro-inflammatory) or regenerative (anti-inflammatory) has been updated to a kaleidoscope view of microglia phenotypes reflecting their wide-ranging roles in maintaining homeostasis in the CNS and, their contribution to CNS diseases, as well as aiding repair. The use of new technologies including single cell/nucleus RNA sequencing has led to the identification of many novel microglia states, allowing for a better understanding of their complexity and distinguishing regional variations in the CNS. This has also revealed differences between species and diseases, and between microglia and other myeloid cells in the CNS. However, most of the data on microglia heterogeneity have been generated on cells isolated from the cortex or whole brain, whereas white matter changes and differences between white and grey matter have been relatively understudied. Considering the importance of microglia in regulating white matter health, we provide a brief update on the current knowledge of microglia heterogeneity in the white matter, how microglia are important for the development of the CNS, and how microglial ageing affects CNS white matter homeostasis. We discuss how microglia are intricately linked to the classical white matter diseases such as multiple sclerosis and genetic white matter diseases, and their putative roles in neurodegenerative diseases in which white matter is also affected. Understanding the wide variety of microglial functions in the white matter may provide the basis for microglial targeted therapies for CNS diseases.

Simulation and optimization of water-based hybrid VRF systems with bifurcated bare-tube heat exchangers
Ransisi HUANG1, Zhiwei HUANG2, Jiazhen LING1, Vikrant AUTE1.
1Center for Environmental Energy Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, United States; 2Johnson Control Inc., Norman, Oklahoma, United States
Hybrid VRF (hVRF) systems enjoy reduced refrigerant charge and wider selection of refrigerants compared to traditional VRF systems. However, due to relatively low heat transfer rate in the indoor coil, hVRF system COP is 10% lower than a traditional VRF system COP. To solve the COP degradation problem of hVRF system, a bi-objective optimization method was proposed for a water-based hVRF system that uses bifurcating bare-tube heat exchangers (bBTHX) as the indoor coils. The two objectives are minimizing bBTHX envelop volume and maximizing system COP. The optimization problem is separated into two steps. First, refrigerant loop parametric analysis was performed to determine the optimal water loop operating conditions. Next, bBTHX optimization was conducted subjected to the constraints of capacity requirements from step one and dimension limitations. Then we simulated the entire hVRF system with the optimal bBTHX designs and obtained the Pareto front between system COP and bBTHX volume.

When a company is distrusted at the outset, more than one-half (57 percent) globally will believe negative information about it after hearing the information just once or twice. Only 15 percent will believe positive information about the distrusted company after hearing it one or two times. In key Western nations like the U.S. and the UK, approximately one-quarter (23 and 27 percent, respectively) say they need to hear something six or more times to believe it, twice as many as two years ago. In the U.S., 14 percent need to hear information 10 or more times to believe it.
"Trust has transformed the license to operate for business," said Edelman. "Company actions must deliver on the expectation for a collaborative approach that benefits society – not just shareholders, transparency about how it makes money, and communication in surround-sound through all forms of media – from mainstream to new to social to owned."
The Barometer finds a flight to credentialed spokespersons, with academics and technical experts as most credible and a "person like me" and regular employees least credible. CEOs now rank among the top credible spokespeople globally – a striking rise from two years ago when they were in the bottom two. Fifty percent say CEOs are credible spokespeople about a company, a 19-point increase over 2009. By contrast, a "person like me," dropped four points globally since 2009, falling from the top three – replacing CEOs in the bottom two. In the U.S., a "person like me" declined precipitously since 2006 (68 percent to 31 percent) among 35-64 year olds.

Other key findings of the 2011 Edelman Trust Barometer include:
- To re-earn trust when faced with a crisis, safeguarding customers and employees is the top-ranked action at 92 percent, followed closely by transparent and open communication about the extent of the crisis and honest and frequent communication from the CEO about repair efforts (90 percent each). Both actions outrank protecting the financial stability of the company (83 percent). Justifying what caused the crisis and keeping information private to minimize damage to the company are at the bottom of the list (52 percent and 47 percent, respectively).
- Business is more trusted than government in one-third of the 23 countries surveyed.
- China India China India
- In the last 12 months, 85 percent of respondents report they have bought the products or services of a company they trusted; conversely, 73 percent say they refused to buy products or services from one they did not trust.

And also we gotta win four more games anyway. Micah is going to have to win a game, every one of our starting pitchers is going to have to win a game. I can't go out there and pitch every game.
Bob got the Sporting News Manager of the Year award today. Can you talk about how he's handled this young team this year, because you've played for him now for a while?
BRANDON WEBB: He's done a great job. It's well deserved to get that. He's done a great job with the young guys. A lot of people kind of counted us out early on where we thought we would have a great team. I think a lot of people kind of counted us out because of the young team we did have. But the things he did and the way he made us work out there, proved the work real well. That's why we're here right now.
You said you felt like you had your good stuff in Game 1 but maybe not your best command. How hard are these last four, five days to sit out on that outing and how much are you looking forward to --
BRANDON WEBB: It's tough. I told you a couple days ago, I definitely would like to get another crack at 'em. As much trouble as they've given me this year.
So it's been a long four, five days. Hopefully I'll get another crack at 'em in two more days. So it would be nice to go out there and get a win and go out there again in a few more days and hopefully have a little bit different outcome.
When you walked out of here after the last game of the regular season, I'm sure you were thinking about your start against the Cubs that was coming up. Did you have anywhere in the back of your mind, though, the thought that, hey, we might see these guys, the Rockies, again down the road?
BRANDON WEBB: No doubt. No doubt about it. We won the first game, which put us into the playoffs. And all we had to do was win -- we knew -- I knew that all we had to do was win one more and these guys would be out of it.
Personally, you know, me not throwing as well as I'd like to against these guys, I was wanting to at least get one more win against these guys and put them away because I know how good of a team they have.
So I was looking for just one win, and we knew what we had to do. But I was pretty much focused on the Cubs game. But it would have been nice to get them out because I know they're playing real strong.
Couple weeks ago in Pittsburgh Bob gave the ball to Micah Owings when the team really needed a win and he produced in a big way. From just a teammate's perspective, your thoughts about Micah Owings going into that must win situation again.
BRANDON WEBB: I think we got all the confidence in the world. I think we've got the best group of pitching in the National League. So every guy we throw out there we have total confidence in. Like you said, the game he pitched in Pittsburgh was huge for us. He went out there and did something that probably not a lot of people had a lot of confidence in him doing, but our team did.
That's how we feel today. He's going to go out there and do his thing and I don't think he gets caught up in all that stuff about the pressure and must wins and all that. He just goes out there and does his thing.
He's a competitor. He's going to go out there. He's going to swing the bat for us as well as pitch. So it's a double edged sword when he's out there.
What's the mood in the clubhouse today? Any different than any other normal day?
BRANDON WEBB: Not really. Seems like any other day, really. We know what we have to do. We're just preparing like any other day.
You are obviously still in it. But Bob was talking earlier about the future of this franchise, with all these young guys. Do you allow yourself to think that and look around and see what you've got?
BRANDON WEBB: I think we have, throughout the course of the year, known who we've got and know what we could have in the future, if we keep the same group of guys. I think we're going to be real strong.
I think a lot of the Western Division has this same kind of makeup. These guys here, the Rockies, have a real young team that are great. The Padres are young and so are the Dodgers. So looking around the Western Division, it's pretty young with a lot of talent.
I think we're excited where we could be in a couple of years.

This image was taken by the Philae lander of the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission when it was about 130 feet (40 meters) above the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko during descent to the surface on Nov. 12, 2014. Philae took the image with its ROsetta Lander Imaging System (ROLIS).
The view shows that the surface of the comet is covered by dust and debris ranging from fine-grain particles to blocks more than a yard or meter across. The large block in the top right corner is about five yards or meters across. In the same corner the structure of the Philae lander is visible.
The ROLIS instrument is a down-looking imager that acquires images during the descent and doubles as a multispectral close-up camera after the landing. The aim of the ROLIS experiment is to study the texture and microstructure of the comet's surface. It was developed by the German Aerospace Center's Institute of Planetary Research, Berlin.
Rosetta is a European Space Agency mission with contributions from its member states and NASA. Rosetta's Philae lander is provided by a consortium led by the German Aerospace Center, Cologne; Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Gottingen; French National Space Agency, Paris; and the Italian Space Agency, Rome. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the U.S. participation in the Rosetta mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Rosetta carries three NASA instruments in its 21-instrument payload.

Especially for early investors who are willing to keep assets for the long term, investing in cryptocurrencies may prove to be a successful method to accumulate wealth. Due to the very unpredictable nature of the cryptocurrency market, however, profits cannot be assured, which has led many potential investors to have second thoughts.
Individual investors may undoubtedly put their money into cryptocurrencies on their own, perhaps by purchasing very tiny quantities of a variety of digital assets. Investing in firms that are even larger and more established and that profit from the growing popularity of blockchain and crypto-assets is a better approach to obtain exposure to the industry than just buying stocks in cryptocurrency companies.
In this article, we are going to discuss the best 5 cryptocurrency stocks to buy and hold for the future.
Top 5 Cryptocurrency Stocks to Buy
1. Tesla Inc.
Market Cap: 928.93B
Given that Tesla maintains a sizeable holding of the digital asset on its balance sheet, it is evident that the company is optimistic about the asset’s future prospects. The value of Tesla’s Bitcoin holdings is estimated to be above one billion dollars.
Although users are unable to use DOGE to purchase Tesla automobiles at this time, Tesla does accept payment in the form of the meme currency dogecoin for some of the products sold on its website.
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and now the richest person on the planet is an outspoken advocate of several cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin and Dogecoin are all in his own ownership. Buying shares in Tesla may be one method for the regular investor to get exposure to cryptocurrencies without having to actively acquire cryptocurrency itself.

Market Cap: 433.29B
Nvidia creates chips for a wide variety of devices because of its expertise in the graphics unit business. The company’s flagship products, however, are its high-end graphics cards for PC and console video games.
The CMP HX card from Nvidia is an industrial-strength mining rig. First, there were supply chain problems, and now, with the price of cryptocurrencies falling, there is less demand for mining equipment, thus business is erratic.
Nvidia recently settled for a $5.5 million punishment for failing to disclose the consequences of mining on its company, namely that miners worsened the graphics card scarcity and pushed up demand by snatching up the cards. This case highlights the dangers of investing in relatively new technology.
A mining limitation has been included on a recently produced card by the corporation to head off any potential mining-related stockpiles of the item in the future.
3. Canaan Inc
Market Cap: 645.67M
Canaan Inc. is a prominent Chinese company in the development and production of integrated circuit final mining equipment devices for Bitcoin mining and associated activities. With its expertise in the areas of ASIC high-performance computer chip design, chip research, and development, computing equipment manufacture, and software services, it has emerged as one of the top pure-play cryptocurrency stocks to purchase right now.
If you want to invest in the cryptocurrency market, Canaan is a company worth considering because of its low price. The forward price-to-earnings ratio for Canaan Inc. as of June 4 was 1.44.
In order to verify Bitcoin network blocks, the company’s Avalon ASCIS can make billions of guesses every second at the proper hash.

4. Hut 8 Mining Corp
Market Cap: 555.06M
Investment in Hut 8 Mining, a prominent bitcoin mining firm, is also a good idea. The Canadian firm is well-known for its stable cash flow and its mining of bitcoin and Ethereum. HUT’s compounding gains from lending out its mined bitcoin rather than selling it were realized until very recently. According to CoinDesk, it now has 100% of its cryptocurrency back in its control.
The business announced a total of 264 Bitcoins mined, with a daily average output of 9.11 Bitcoin. In the cryptocurrency mining industry, this firm is highly recommended as a 2019 top selection.
Rather than dealing with the hassle and limitations of genuine cryptocurrency purchases, you may use Hut 8 instead.

5. Bitfarms Ltd
Market Cap: 376.49M
Another major bitcoin miner headquartered in North America is Bitfarms Ltd. Server farms owned and operated by the firm verify Bitcoin Blockchain transactions, earning the company bitcoin via block rewards and transaction fees.
Bitfarms Ltd. is growing rapidly and becoming a major player in the cryptocurrency sector. There is interest among investors in Bitfarms Ltd.

Gambia’s political parties discussed Saturday the possibility of extending voting rights to convicts serving their jail term in the country’s correctional facilities. The ‘controversial’ issue topped the agenda at the second round of consultations on Constitutional Reform which was held at the National Nutrition Agency (NaNa) headquarter located along Berthil Harding Highway in Bakau.
While Gambia Moral Congress (GMC) leader, Mai Ahmad Fatty, did not raise any objection about the issue of restoring the the rights for inmates to vote, former Vice-President and emblematic figure of the United Democratic Party (UDP), Ousainou Darboe, made it clear that they will have to face security issues when prisoners are granted voting rights.
The tiny West African nation is making giant strides towards the formulation of a new Constitution as the CRC continues to spearhead massive public consultations.
“Can we really take into account the security issues?,” the veteran lawyer quizzed. “If prisoners are going to vote, the various candidates have to have their agents in Jangjangbureh, Banjul and Old Jeshwang…”
Darboe expressed doubts as to whether gov’t has the capacity to put all the logistics in place as there are prisoners who registered in different constituencies.
M.C Cham Jr. of the opposition Gambia Democratic Congress (GDC) said prisoners should not have the rights to participate in elections. He then added that it is an open secret that they will vote against the government in place.
However, GDC’s Member of Parliament for Niamina East, Omar Ceesay, okayed prisoners’ rights to participate in electoral competitions.
“The politicians are going there to empower the prisoners in terms of knowledge and innovative ideas,” he remarked while noting that when they come out of prisons, they should be able to rebuild their life.
The public hearing failed to highlight whether convicted felons or death row inmates should also enjoy the restoration of their voting rights…
Meanwhile, participants also weighed in on the important issues of citizenship, diasporans rights to vote, healthcare, access to potable and water and which drew mixed reactions from party representatives.

Lisa Su, senior vice president and chief technology officer at Freescale Semiconductor spoke in her keynote today at EmTech’s Women in Technology Workshop about near-future uses of embedded systems. Now that we can put hundreds of millions of transistors on a chip, she says, the question is, what do you do with all that technology?
She sees embedded systems improving the electric grid – with good sensor technology and electronics, she says, it would be possible to create many smaller local electric systems. Home appliances could have smart power meters that adjust based on spikes in demand. Other areas where she sees embedded systems causing big improvements are telemedicine, robotic surgery, and the automotive industry. In all three cases, the key innovations, she says, would come from networks, whether those networks would allow faster diagnoses, or smart highways that take over most of the duties of driving.
“When you think of what we can do as a society, we’ve really only scratched the surface when it comes to using the technology capability that we have,” Su says.
