South Devon Railway to receive £165,900 and a further offer of £257,800 reserves top-up from second round of the Government’s Culture Recovery Fund
- The South Devon Railway (SDR) is among more than 2,700 recipients to benefit from the latest round of awards from the £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund
- This award will help to safeguard the SDR’s future
The SDR in Devon has received a grant of £165,900 and a further offer of £257,800 reserves top-up from the Government’s £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund to help the organisation recover and reopen.
Nearly £400 million has been awarded to thousands of cultural organisations across the country including the South Devon Railway in the latest round of support from the Culture Recovery Fund, the Culture Secretary announced on Friday.
The ‘Culture Recovery For Heritage’ grant will fund staff costs and essential overheads through to June 30 2021. Importantly, the grants are being distributed by the National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF) in partnership with Historic England, based on criteria set by DCMS.
The SDR has put together an action plan to make sure that the organisation is viable in the future.
This includes a review of long-term objectives and strategy following the SDR’s huge £2 million loss of revenue last year, and the changed operating environment due to the pandemic as well as staff re-training, volunteer recruitment and boosting longer-term fund-raising for capital projects.
Commenting on the grant award, SDR Chairman Jon Morton said:
“We are all bowled over to have received this second round of grant support and offer towards our reserves thanks to the Department of Culture Media and Sport, the National Heritage Memorial Fund and Historic England. It’s really fantastic news for us and so greatly appreciated!
“It will certainly provide us with the additional vital financial lifeline needed for the railway’s continued survival, and we are confident that all of the projects to gain support will help get the much-loved steam trains of the South Devon Railway running normally again very soon, hopefully in May.
Over £800 million in grants and loans has already been awarded to support almost 3,800 cinemas, performance venues, museums, heritage sites and other cultural organisations dealing with the immediate challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.
This brings the Government’s total investment across grants, capital and repayable finance from the Culture Recovery Fund so far to more than £1.2 billion across over 5,000 individual cultural and heritage organisations and sites.
The second round of awards made today will help organisations to look ahead to the spring and summer and plan for reopening and recovery. After months of closures and cancellations to contain the virus and save lives, this funding will be a much-needed helping hand for organisations transitioning back to normal in the months ahead.
Culture Secretary, Oliver Dowden, said:
“Our record breaking Culture Recovery Fund has already helped thousands of culture and heritage organisations across the country survive the biggest crisis they’ve ever faced.
Now we’re staying by their side as they prepare to welcome the public back through their doors – helping our cultural gems plan for reopening and thrive in the better times ahead.”
Ros Kerslake, CEO of The National Lottery Heritage Fund, said:
“Spring is definitely here, bringing not only sunshine but that sense of optimism and hope for the future. We are all looking forward to heritage places and other visitor attractions reopening and I am very pleased that we have been able to support DCMS in delivering this vital funding to ensure the UK’s heritage sector can rebuild and thrive, boosting local economies, creating jobs and supporting personal wellbeing.”
Duncan Wilson, Chief Executive of Historic England, said:
“The value of our heritage sites and the people who run them has been amply demonstrated, as they have provided an anchor for so many of us through the dark days of the last year. Vital grants from the Culture Recovery Fund have helped them survive and will now help them recover, as the places we all cherish start to reopen in the months ahead.”
The funding awarded today is from a £400 million pot which was held back last year to ensure the Culture Recovery Fund could continue to help organisations in need as the public health picture changed. The funding has been awarded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Historic England as well as the British Film Institute and Arts Council England
Notes to Editors

Wastewater Storage Plan On Hold
A Texas-based company wants to use river barges to move its potentially toxic wastewater in Ohio, but federal officials must first decide whether it’s safe.
Grapevine, Texas-based GreenHunter Water has its plan on hold as authorities investigate environmental questions regarding the wastewater from the gas drilling industry.
The industry uses water and chemicals to stimulate production of natural gas locked in shale. Some of that water comes back to the surface. It gets recycled or is taken by truck to industrial treatment plants or deep injection wells for treatment or disposal.
The newspaper reports that GreenHunter Water has bought liquid-storage tanks at an Ohio River terminal in New Matamoras in southeastern Ohio. The terminal could serve as a transfer point to truck the waste.


Hey Wedgess ... Thanks for the awesome kernel.... Could you do one more thing ....The volume output everywhere(loudspeaker, ear speaker etc.) is very low...Can you increase it ???
Yp same here but this bug from the rom not from the kernel...
Thank you good sir!
I think Auto-CWM might be interfering, because the back-button isn't doing what it's supposed to do.
with auto-CWM app and fxp kernel you can enter CWM recovery by pressing volume key when the light turned on :D...

The Larger Minaret
The main northern façade of the mosque was adjoined by the arched portal of the entrance and a tall tower known as the Larger Minaret. This very building is connected with the first in Russian history legal act aimed at the protection of architectural structures of the bygone ages: a Decree of Peter I on the necessity of restoration and study of the monuments of the ancient Bolgar. At the time of the Persian campaign, in 1722, the Emperor personally visited the Boulgar ruins, which aroused his keen interest. As early as being in Astrakhan, on 2 July 1722, the Emperor sent his personal decree to the Kazan Governor, A.P. Saltykov, requesting “in the Kazan Province, on the ancient Bolgar site, to repair the foundation of the stone building having two pillars that are called bell-towers in Tatar”. The Larger Minaret was repaired, but did not preserve until our days (collapsed in 1841). Not long before its collapse, it was observed by E. Turnerelli, an English scientist. The Minaret is well known thanks to the measurement drawings of the 19th century. It represented a 24-metres-tall volume consisting of the upper small and lower large cylinders. The main body of the lower cylinder passed at the bottom through the octagonal tier into the square foundation of 5x5 m. Inside the minaret, leading to the upper cylindrical tier with the roundabout gallery, was a winding stairs that was lit through six small windows. Unlike the Smaller Minaret that also survived in Bolgar, the Larger Minaret was twice as high and had, at medium height of the façade, a carved inscription in Arabic, a sentence from the Koran. The monument was studied through archaeological excavations in 1892, 1915, 1946 and in 1964 – 1966. The Minaret in its original scope was restored in 2000 – 2002. In 2011 – 2012, the work was done to reconstruct the small cylinder of the minaret with the decoration of the arched decorative window openings, the replacement of the cover for brass plates, and the installation of a carved door.

CAPE TOWN – South Africa's loosehead Francois Louw confirmed his retirement from international rugby on Sunday, the second of the Springboks' World Cup winning side, calling time for their career in the green and gold.
Louw, who came off the replacement bench for captain Siya Kolisi in the 32-12 win over England at the World Cup on November 2, won 76 test caps after debuting in 2010.
"I couldn't have asked for a more fulfilling career with the Springboks, and I bow out with a full heart," he said in a media release from South Africa Rugby.
"I've had an amazing journey in international rugby. I've made friends for life in the game and created incredible memories with great people."
Bok coach Rassie Erasmus was full of praise for the Bath loser’s contribution to their World Cup campaign.
"Flo was a real fighter in the back row. He was always ready to go where the fire was the hottest and was the kind of tough thought that you will always have beside you," Erasmus said.
"He has been a huge servant of South African rugby and we lose a lot with his retirement, not only in how he played but in the calm, insight and character he brought to the group."
Louw's retirement goes to prop Tendai Mtawarira, who won the last of his 117 horses in the World Cup.

In its latest attempt to boost China sales, Apple Inc. opened an official store on Tmall, a major online marketplace run by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. Read More »
Microsoft Corp. just opened its flagship store on China’s largest online shopping mall, as the U.S. software giant tries to sell Windows-based tablets and smartphones to local consumers amid fierce competition from Apple Inc. products and devices powered by Google Inc.’s Android operating system.
The new store inside Tmall, a business-to-consumer shopping site operated by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., sells the Surface, Microsoft’s first homegrown computing device released in late October, and Nokia Corp.’s Lumia smartphones running the Windows Phone mobile operating system, among other products.
The move is part of Microsoft’s attempt to broaden its direct consumer retail channels in China. In October, the company launched its Chinese online retail store, which is separate from its Tmall store.
“We go where the customers are,” said Microsoft’s Shanghai-based spokesman Brandon Yoon. “Tmall is one of the primary destinations for consumers in China.” Read More »

The Khojas - Journey of Faith
Wednesday, April 13, 2016 at 7:30 PM - Thursday, April 14, 2016 at 10:00 PM
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Khoja Shia Ithna-Asheris, (KSI) numbering less than 150,000 pale into insignificance in the context of 200 million Shia Ithna-Asheris worldwide. Yet they are perceived to have a presence and influence that far exceeds their size.
With their genesis from a Hindu heritage, to a hotchpotch mystic faith called Satpanth which combined Sufi ideas with traces of Hindu belief and their subsequent conversion to the Nizari Ismaili path and eventually to follow the Ja’fari school of thought is a fascinating story of a journey of faith.
This film retells this story of this journey of faith over five centuries. This is a chrionicle of who the Khoja Shia Ithna-Asheris are, to enable our future generations to glean an understanding and appreciation of their ancestors’ struggles, trials, tribulations as well as successes.

Where can you get help for someone you care about?
Minnesota’s Problem Gambling Program
There are state funds available for treatment services to Minnesota residents who meet the clinical diagnosis for compulsive gambling and demonstrate financial need. State-approved treatment providers can be found at www.nojudgement.com and are listed by county, city, and provider.
NATIONAL PROBLEM GAMBLING HELPLINE
- Free, 24/7 availability
- Available at 1-800-522-4700
- Answers questions and provides resource information
Having trouble starting a conversation?
Each situation is different. To get started, read the tips below:
Tell them you’re concerned.
Express to them how important your relationship with them is and that you want them to get help for their problem gambling.
_________, I need to talk to you about something serious. I’ve noticed recently that you haven’t been your usual self, and I’m concerned. Your relationship with me is very important, and I don’t want anything to damage it. I want to know if we can talk about what might be going on?
Be specific about your concerns.
Talking about finances can be difficult, particularly in relation to problem gambling. Tell them how their gambling negatively affects their relationship with you. Be specific and use examples.
I’m concerned about the extent to which gambling has become a part of your life and how it’s affecting our relationship. You are a very important part of my life.
Don’t judge, instead listen.
If you want them to hear you out, you need to give them the same courtesy. Allow them to speak their mind, and let them know you heard what they have to say.
__________, I hear what you have to say and want to help you find a solution before the situation becomes worse.
Say what you want them to do.
Ask them to seek counseling or enroll in a gambling recovery group.
I’d like to help you find a way to fix this. I know of a 24-hour, confidential hotline you could call (800-333-HOPE) and a few gambling recovery programs. I’d like us to explore one of these services.
Offer to help; explain why you care.
Remember to explain how much you care about them and what you want them to do. By expressing your concern, you can clarify your feelings regarding their gambling and make them accountable for their addictive behavior. Be non-judgmental and offer to help.
I want you to know that I am here to help in any way I can. I wouldn’t have come to you if you weren’t so important to me. If you need support, you have someone you can count on.
Keep the door open for future talks.
There is a difference between being aggressive and being firm. You can be direct without alienating your parent. If you engage them in a hostile way, they will most likely shut down and ignore your attempts to help. Handle the subject with care, so they feel like you are a resource in their recovery.
__________, you are a good person. You’re human. Let’s deal with this together. Take it one step at a time.
Just Ask MN
Just Ask MN provides content that connects this younger, at-risk demographic to educational resources and information about gambling activities, the consequences associated with risky gambling behavior, and how to better understand the signs of a problem in order to get help.

A teenager reportedly suffered a seizure when an undercover police officer placed him in a chokehold at a Melbourne mall earlier this week.
In an incident captured on video, a male officer could be seen tackling the teenager and lying across his back while a female officer handcuffed him.
The 19-year-old was reportedly eating a meal with his partner and 19-month-old child when he was approached by the officers. The incident took place at Dandenong Plaza in Melbourne’s southeast on Tuesday morning.
An ambulance took the teenager to hospital under police supervision. It was reported that he suffered a seizure and head injuries as a result of the incident.
Victoria Police said the man was arrested “in relation to a number of ongoing investigations involving theft of motor vehicles, theft from motor vehicles and burglaries across Melbourne” in a statement provided to media.
“The matter has been referred to Professional Standards Command for review,” it said in a statement.
Police chokeholds across Australia have come under scrutiny since the death of George Floyd in the United States in 2020, who died after being restrained by a police officer for almost ten minutes.
In April this year, Queensland announced it would be banning the Lateral Vascular Neck Restraint after the death of an Aboriginal man in custody, a move that would fall in line with the rest of Australia.
At the time, it was reported that the restraint had been linked to four deaths in the state, and left one man in a vegetative state. However, the state reversed course in May, with Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll saying that “officers had always been allowed to use the move if necessary”.
“There has been no change in my decision for the use of LVNR,” she said.”If a person’s life is at risk an officer can use any force necessary to prevent grievous bodily harm or death. But in terms of training it as a use of force option, that has stopped.”
However, she said that Police no longer taught it as a use of force option during training.

The Foreign Minister was making a statement on France and Europe in the National Assembly in advance of next week's Cannes summit, which marks the end of France's presidency of the EU. For the most part he simply summed up France's known priorities in Europe, including its support for the expansion of membership and its view that, while European institutions needed to be adapted to accommodate new members, they did not need to be "torn down and rebuilt from scratch".
On special relationships within the EU, he appeared to go even further than President Jacques Chirac had done after his meeting with John Major, 10 days ago. While the Franco-German alliance was the ``pivot'' of French foreign policy, Paris was keen that other special relationships should be developed. He hinted that the exclusivity of the Franco-German relationship meant that France's diplomatic clout was more limited than it needed to be.
Franco-British political and military co-operation on Bosnia had shown one possibility. There was also potential for a special relationship with Spain, on Mediterranean issues and the single currency.
Mr de Charette seemed to criticise Germany at one point, saying that "certain countries" wanted to go "further and faster" even if there was no "collective response" from the other members. After his meeting with Mr Major, Mr Chirac had said that while the Franco-German relationship was "essential", there could not be a Europe without Britain.
On Schengen and relations with other EU countries, however, Mr de Charette offered views that suggested policies were being reviewed and reconsidered. His stout defence of the Schengen accord (in which nine EU countries have agreed to remove all controls at their mutual borders) contradicted - in tone - a highly critical report published by the French Senate earlier in the day.
This attacked the operating of the joint computer system and database, saying that it was overloaded, much of the data was useless and there were compatibility problems between the French and German systems.
Calling for the trial period to be extended by another six months when it expires at the beginning of July, the report also criticised the Dutch position on drugs, which - it said - left France open to traffickers. It also pointed to the failure of member countries to co-ordinate visa requirements and difficulties that had arisen over the right of "hot pursuit" over borders.
In the National Assembly, however, Mr de Charette insisted, to shouted objections from the floor: "We can't blame Schengen for the fact that our surveillance does not work properly on the motorways that cross the frontier." He made no mention of any need to extend the trial period. He is believed to be under strong pressure from Germany, which is opposed to any alteration in the trial period.Reuse content

Evangelical Christians in the U.S., particularly those who are white, overwhelmingly support President Donald Trump. In fact, polls indicate that as high as 78% approve of Trump’s performance as president, and more than 57% say that God had a hand in Trump’s election. Many white mainline Protestants (48%-49%) as well as white Catholics (44%-52%) also approve of the president, with Trump’s lowest approval rating found among black Protestants (12%) and religiously unaffiliated Americans (20%-24%).
Being white and religious, it seems, predicts fondness for our current president. We need to hear from additional religious leaders — Christian and otherwise — and especially leaders whose perspectives differ.
Turns out that disapproving of the president comes with a price, especially in the evangelical world. Just ask Mark Galli, former editor of the longtime leading magazine for Christian evangelicals, Christianity Today.
Galli recently penned an editorial that not only noted his disapproval of the president’s performance but also questioned his character, values and fitness for the presidency. Immediately, Trump’s supporters closed ranks, condemning Galli and his magazine. And 200 influential evangelical leaders published an open letter stating, “We are proud to be numbered among those in history who, like Jesus, have been pretentiously accused of having too much grace for tax collectors and sinners … and we take deeply our personal responsibility to render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s — our public service.”
Unfortunately, moderate and progressive Christian leaders have been comparatively silent on these matters and slow to concur with Galli’s observations, which leaves these evangelical leaders’ perspectives unchallenged and unchanged.
There are exceptions. A group called Red Letter Christians has organized rallies to protest what they term “toxic Christianity” and “the gospel of Trump.” Another group, Vote Common Good, works to mobilize “people of faith to make the common good their voting criteria and to pursue faith, hope and love for a change on election day 2020.” But unlike groups of politically minded evangelicals, many of which are heavily resourced and garner public support, these progressive groups are financially strapped and have had minimal impact on the public discourse about Trump.
A recent study by the Pew Research Center points to reasons that many clergy may remain relatively silent on political matters. Nearly half of Americans say they are unaware of the political affiliations of their clergy. Perhaps the reason is that 63% of U.S. adults say that places of worship should be free of political expression.
The only major religious groups whose members say otherwise, namely, that churches should express their social and political views, are, it turns out, evangelical Protestants (55%) and historically black churches (54%). Though typically considered politically more progressive, only 35% of mainline Protestants think churches should express social and political views.
It has not always been this way. Historically, progressive Christians, including clergy, have stepped willingly into the political fray to face down systemic ills, unjust practices and immoral behaviors, regardless of who needs to be addressed. These leaders have accepted a call to service as agents of political change. They have done so out of religious conviction.
Think of Martin Luther King Jr. and his leadership of the civil rights movement, or Dorothy Day’s efforts for justice as a layperson in the Catholic worker movement, or of Reinhold Niebuhr’s championing human rights and his subsequent influence on leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Jimmy Carter and Madeleine Albright. In each case, deeply held convictions grounded in biblical values prompted widespread calls for immoral policies, practices and behaviors among a nation’s leaders and people to stop. None of these religious leaders stayed silent about political matters.
We need leaders in all faith traditions to risk hard conversations about political matters. We especially need leaders who serve congregations and have the ear of their adherents to state concerns they have.
Alternative perspectives exist, ones that are more in keeping with the life and examples of Jesus. The country needs to hear these perspectives.

Bruno Fernandes has uploaded a cryptic message to his story on Instagram as Manchester United continues to explore an agreement to sign the Portuguese international.
United sees Fernandes as an interesting addition in the mid-season, but is baffled by the 25-year-old’s 80 million euro valuation.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is running out of options in midfield after long-term injuries to Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba. United’s midfield in Liverpool’s defeat on Sunday was made up of Fred, Nemanja Matic and Andreas Pereira.
Fernandes himself had a defeat over the weekend as he started for Sporting in the 2-0 defeat against Benfica in the Primeira Liga.
Sports manager Silas said he is planning to have the Portuguese international join his team when they face Braga on Tuesday evening.
“I will prepare the game thinking about Bruno, from now on I don’t know what could happen,” said Silas. “He is a player who wants to play in a league higher than ours.
“Which player wouldn’t want to play in the English league? It’s hard to tell him ‘don’t go’.
“Bruno deserves to play in that type of league and the best is that. If he is one of the best he must be there.”
Taking pictures on Instagram on Sunday, Fernandes shared a photo of Simba of the Lion King along with the caption: “Be someone who nobody believed you were.”
Given how long the negotiations between United, Sporting and Fernandes are going on, it is unlikely that Fernandes will play against Burnley on Wednesday evening.
United must have registered Fernandes as a player by noon Tuesday if he wants his debut this week.
The transfer window closes at 23:00 on January 31st.

Well, you'd be surprised to learn that apparently the United States advocates that kind of thing -- or at least, according to blogger Sapphire Blue at the Democratic Underground:
This girl is 17. She is being stoned to death, half-naked, by the men of an Iraqi village for fraternizing with a boy from another religion. And all the while it is happening other men look on cheering and take pictures of the carnage with their mobile phones. The police stand by and do nothing while other men disrobe and dishonor a woman for the sake, they say, of restoring their own.
By the end of the television news report, the girl is not writhing anymore. She is dead. And not one man did one thing to stop it.
Yanar Mohammed, president of the Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq (OWFI), in an interview with Women's Human Rights Net highlighted the effects of this war on women (whrnet.org/docs/interview-yanar-0603.html <1>).
... Mohammed, in a CNN interview, May 19, 2007, made two points no U.S. citizen wants to hear.
First, she said, the number of honor killings in Iraq have increased by the hundreds since the invasion.
Second, she went on, 10 years ago, long before the country was "freed," honor killings did not exist.
Pressed by the CNN reporter to explain the difference, Mohammed was short and to the point: "Someone came in from the outside and gave us "democracy," she said. The problem, she went on, is that the new democracy became Islamic -- not secular.
Now, she reports, men come to a house, bang on the door, say "This is a whorehouse" and murder all the women there. … It is sectarianism hiding behind religion."
The situation is even worse than that, however. With the change in the Iraqi Constitution, articles that protected the rights of women were eliminated. Now discrimination against women is, indeed, "honorable," is "religious," is legal.
Honor killings didn't exist before the United States freed Iraq?? We made discrimination against women honorable, religious, and legal?? Is this person serious?! What's funny to me is the contradiction made by Mohammed in the same breath. Honor killings didn't exist before the country was freed, but they've increased since the invasion. Hmm.
Of course they are, and most the commenters jumped right on the blame-US bandwagon.
Sadly enough for the Democratic Underground, honor killings are not a new concept, and they are not unique to Iraq. According to the U.N., liberals favorite organization in the whole world, they take place in countless countries, such as: Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, the Syrian Arab Republic, Turkey, Yemen, and other Mediterranean and Gulf countries, and that they had also taken place in such countries as France, Germany and the United Kingdom within migrant communities.
Only in crazy moonbat liberal circles would democracy be pointed to as the cause of honor killings.

A Chinese financial and economic crisis is inevitable. So far, China has managed to skirt a catastrophe by the skin of its teeth. But China is a paper tiger that is starting to experience a wicked kind of economic entropy and broad-based, multi-sector contraction. VIVISXN’s economic team believes a crisis there is inescapable given the PRC’s zonked out growth model, global macro/geopolitical fretfulness and a dizzying debt load. Many of the world’s most eggheaded economists agree. A countdown to the meltdown has begun.
China has essentially hit a great brick wall — what development economists call the ‘middle income trap.’ This happens to developing economies when they have picked off all the low hanging cherries and exhausted all their cheapo factor endowments, as China has ravenously done for the past few decades. A new inflection point is well-nigh.
The transition to high-income status necessitates far more than repetitive, low-value assembly-style jobs staffed by country folk and clodhoppers moving to the cities. It requires the creation and adoption of high-value-added products and processes enabled by bleeding-edge technology, strategic thinking and a culture of true and tenacious innovation.
China has not shown much capacity for developing high tech breakthroughs on its own, but it has been astonishingly effective at stealing oodles of technology and IP from various trading partners (mostly America) and applying it through its own system of state-owned enterprises and ‘national champions’ such as hyper-hacker Huawei in the telcos sector, Ant Financial in fintech, DiDi in ridesharing and Fourth Paradigm in AI — all enterprises that appropriated (um, ripped-off) non-Chinese, predominantly Western intellectual property.
Unfortunately for China, this ‘growth by theft’ model has run its course. The U.S. and its allies, such as Canada, Japan and the EU, are taking strict measures to limit further theft and are holding China fully accountable for its kleptomaniacal tactics — so far by imposing punitive tariffs and banning Chinese firms from participating in critical, next gen tech rollouts such as 5G networking and advanced semiconductor purchases. Huawei thinks it can hoodwink the world. It can’t. Pandas can’t fly. Duh.
At the same time, China is facing the painful consequences of crushing debt. Economies can grow through various modes of consumption, investment, government spending and net exports. The ‘Chinese miracle’ has been mostly a matter of fixed asset investment and net exports, with minimal spending by consumers. It is hyped to the max and leveraged to the hilt.
The investment component masqueraded as government spending for decades — many of the companies pouring investment into large infrastructure projects were backed directly or indirectly by the government through state-backed banks, steroidal SPVs and commie VCs.
This investment was debt-financed, of course. China is so heavily indebted that current incremental spending now produces zero (or negative) returns and generates zilch growth. Adding additional debt today via the PBOC’s ‘credit impulse’ slows the economy and calls into question China’s ability to service its existing debt. Margin rates are rising in China, collateral requirements are fussier and rehypothecation is sketchier than ever. Default rates — both private sector firms and SOEs — are proliferating. Confucius and Buddha, knowing full well the immutable laws of economics, are spinning in circles somewhere in the God realm.It’s an ugly story, and it’s all very obvious, like Lo Mein noodles hurled against the wall. China’s other lifelines were net exports and large current account surpluses. These were driven by cheap labor, government subsidies and a systematically manipulated currency. These drivers of growth are disappearing due to demographics that dilute China’s (shrinking) labor force, capital outflows and waning capital expenditures. Other noodle wads plastered on the wall range from China’s ill-conceived Belt and Road Forum (BARF), the surveillance state’s panopticon scheme against its own people (good luck ‘disrupting’ industries à la techno-punk Steve Jobs), and the hubristic and feckless attempt at hegemony in the Indo-Pac region (it would only take a few Japanese attack subs alone to KO China’s nascent blue water navy). The commies could never stomach such humiliation.
China is facing competition from Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, etc. — regional players that offer a superior labor arbitrage, a better FDI climate and higher returns on assets. Current account surpluses are also being eroded by President Trump’s tariff policy and penalties imposed by the U.S. Treasury. Data around China’s FX stash is perennially fudged and official stats are as accurate as Jussie Smollett’s Chi-Town (faux) ambush story. Foreign invested enterprises will tell you firsthand that ‘the law of diminishing returns’ applies to China like never before.
Meanwhile, the debt overhang is growing exponentially worse. China’s creditworthiness is now being called into question by international banks, foreign investors and rating agencies.
The single most important issue is the continuation and escalation of the U.S.-China trade spat. When the trade war began in January 2018, the market expectation was that both sides were merely posturing and that a resolution would be quickly negotiated. Please.
VIVISXN took the opposite view. Trump sat in office a full year before he started confronting China’s neo-mercantilist shenanigans. He has given China every opportunity to come to the table and work out a diplomatic deal commensurate with both nations’ interests. China has miscalculated at every turn.
China assumed it was ‘business as usual’ — a breezy continuation of the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations. The leadership reckoned it could pay lip service to trade relations and offer occasional concessions, and continue with its predatory economics and nervy theft of intellectual property.
By January 2018 the patience wore thin and the Trump team resolved to take on China’s trade transgressions and digital piracy. Since the trade squabble began, the U.S. has suffered only minor impacts, while the net impact on China has been overwhelmingly adverse and injurious to its growth path and political climate.
The deteriorating situation in China is eloquently conveyed in this excerpt from an article titled ‘The Coming China Shock,’ by economists Arvind Subramanian and Josh Felman:
“Back in September, we saw some discontinuity in China’s economic performance as inevitable. Even if the country was not heading for a full-blown crisis, we believed it would almost certainly experience some combination of rapidly decelerating growth and a sharply depreciating exchange rate. That prognosis has since become even more likely. With global economic growth and exports declining, China’s economy is on track to slow further relative to the 6.4% growth recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018. The double-digit average achieved from the 1980s until recently has never seemed more distant.”
The impact described by Subramanian and Felman is illustrated in the graphs below. These charts show the price, implied vol spread and volume of trading in the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:FXI), an imperfect proxy for China investors but nevertheless informative:
FXI peaked at $54.00 per share on Jan. 26, 2018, around the same time the trade war commenced. The index has trended steadily downward from there to the current level of about $40-44 range, a -21% decline with swooning volatility along the way. If you used a leveraged inverse instrument and options, as we have done (or structured notes), you made windfall profits betting against China’s steady decline. Active managers specializing in ‘event driven‘ strategies can buy the dips and dynamically hedge – another ‘alpha-generating’ way to exploit China’s gyrations (peep the vol spread below – a short-term buy signal for those gutsy enough).
This decline is only a partial reflection of the trade war dynamics. Wall Street has consistently underestimated the hardcore economic toll the squabble has had on China. Traders and investors formed the view that the wrangle would be short-lived with inconsequential results. Instead it has stretched for 14 months with no end in sight. Trump & Co. are about to tweak the row asymmetrically in favor of America — a good thing for enlightened societies that cherish freedom, democracy and the rule of law.
The tariffs imposed by the U.S. on China so far have dramatically slowed down the Chinese economy. Yet those tariffs are peanuts compared to what’s coming.
March 1, 2019 is the deadline for a “truce” in the trade war, intended to facilitate negotiations and foster mutually agreed upon rules and codes of conduct. America’s demands — especially verifiable limitations on the theft of U.S. intellectual property — are impossible for China to meet because it depends on incessant theft to advance its own economic, political and social ambitions.
It is highly unlikely that the critical issue areas of piracy, espionage and cyber security will be resolved by March 1. Some minor issues may be resolved and a superficial “deal” announced. Such a deal may include a reduction in the U.S.-China trade deficit through larger purchases of U.S. soybeans and other ag products by China, and perhaps a stabler FX regime. But the big issues including limits on U.S. investment in China, forced technology transfers and IP bootlegging will not be resolved.
The best case is that President Trump’s deadline will be extended and negotiations will continue (blah). The worst case is that a ‘trade truce’ will crumble and the U.S. will impose massive punitive tariffs on China while subverting Beijing’s nefarious industrial policy (‘Made in China 2025‘) and geostrategic ambitions (‘One Belt, One Road‘). Either way, China’s export-driven economy will continue to suffer and the Middle Kingdom will continue its downward spiral.
Given these macroeconomic, financial and geopolitical headwinds, weakness in China will only get worse. Xi Jinping, China’s self-appointed ‘emperor for life’ is blundering bigly. Entropy is having its wicked way with China’s economic destiny, first by transmogrifying the society into an intensified klepto-Orwellian racket, and then by dissipating it as angst all over the country and beyond. There will be blood.
And China’s governing elite can only hope the damage can be contained before the serfs begin to question the legitimacy of the ruling class. We predict a wave of chaos coming to China that will be uncomfortably sharp and disorienting — especially for ordinary citizens and global investors alike. We are staying short of Chinese equities, ADRs, the RMB/$¥ and select bonds.
China has visibly entered the ‘phase transition zone’, a process of critical transformation that will eventually lead to a new equilibrium at significantly different levels, after severe ruptures and a possible full-cycle crash. China will not know what hit it as it emergently self-reorganizes back into something that resembles the old-school feudalism of yore. America, the IMF and myriad hedge funds will be there to offer it a credit facility and invest when the smoke clears. Expect fireworks and fuming theatrics shortly.

07 June 2012, 09:42
Nairobi - AFC Leopards’ goalkeeper Patrick Matasi has been left out of Harambee Stars’ squad that will do duty in Namibia in a 2014 World Cup qualifier this weekend.
The youngster joins vice captain Pascal Ochieng who has also been omitted from the squad after failing to recover from a knee injury that ruled him out of last weekend’s match against Malawi.
First choice goalkeeper Arnold Origi who linked up with the team on Tuesday has made the trip and looks set to make his first start for Stars since the 0-0 draw away in Uganda last October.

"Perfect suggestion! I love pancakes but since I'm single, I never want to make a whole batch for myself and then have 20 pancakes leftover. I also enjoy healthy eating and this was perfect since it minused the egg yolk, and I made about 5 silver dollar pancakes from this so it was also satisfying! Thanks!"


Iconic singer/songwriters Rosanne Cash, Sonny Curtis, Frank Rogers and Steve Wariner took the stage at City Winery Nashville last night (March 2) to perform the very first and worst songs they have ever written as they divulged the stories and the songs that led to their biggest hits, all to benefit Music Health Alliance.
Hosted by music historian and musician Peter Cooper, this unique event allowed the audience to peek inside the brilliant minds of hit songwriters long before they had ever written a chart-topper or had songs recorded by superstar artists, all for a worthy cause.
Songwriter Sandy Knox (“Does He Love You?,” “Why Haven’t I Heard From You?”) was the first to take the stage, sharing the inspiration behind “The First And the Worst” before performing her not-so-memorable song “You Can’t Put Your Love In Layaway,” written at the age of 15.
Highlights from the evening included Sonny Curtis performing “I’m No Stranger To The Rain,” “I Fought The Law” and The Mary Tyler Moore Show theme song, along with his never-before-heard “Clone,” which competed for the worst song of the night.
Rosanne Cash performed her breakout hit, “Seven Year Ache.” In keeping with the night’s theme, Cash shared “This Has Happened Before,” the first song she ever recorded and one she jokingly derided for its overuse of nature metaphors and minor chords. Rodney Crowell, who also serves on the Board of Directors for Music Health Alliance, surprised the audience, joining Cash onstage to sing “I Don’t Know Why You Don’t Want Me” together for the very first time.
The multi-talented Steve Wariner elicited a collective gasp from the audience and fellow performers after confiding he wrote his iconic “I’m Already Taken” at the ripe old age of 17. He shared his first song, the teenage-angst filled “The Whole World Is Smiling But Me,” and later sang his CMA award-winning song, “Holes In The Floor Of Heaven.”
In a close contest, Frank Rogers, who has produced 18 Gold and Platinum albums to date, received the highly-coveted “Crappy” Award for his off-color “Playing Possum,” as voted by the audience as “The First And The Worst’s” most memorable song of the night. 2015’s “Crappy” Award recipient Wynn Varble was on hand to present the award. Rogers later went on to perform hits “I’m Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin’ Song)” and “Alright.”“The night’s memorable events allow our creative community to help heal the music and come together to support the long-term health of our own industry and its members,” said Music Health Alliance Founder and 2016 Nashville Healthcare Hero, Tatum Hauck Allsep. “The funds Rosanne, Sonny, Frank and Steve helped raise last night will allow Music Health Alliance to provide free support and services to help heal the music – from access to life-saving medicines, surgeries, treatments and health insurance that is not readily available to the majority of the music industry who are self-employed and part of small businesses.”
