The crypto craze took off in 2017 with the market cap passing $160 billion towards the end of the year. Not only were crypto headlines a regular occurrence but content marketing agencies such as Contentworks who specialise in tailored solutions for the finance sector became increasingly busy with crypto/blockchain/ICO related content.
Despite extreme volatility and plummeting prices, digital assets continue to attract investors throughout 2018 with crypto CFDs proving a particularly popular way to trade cryptocurrencies without actually owning the underlying assets. This is largely due to the fact that traders can benefit from market moves in any direction.
A surge in crypto awareness has also prompted brokers to jump on the crypto wagon and offer access to the global crypto markets. But if this is something you’re considering, you need to pay attention.
Diving in the deep end without all the relevant information is risky, so with this in mind, here’s the ultimate crypto launch checklist for brokers.
Why are brokers adding cryptos to their offering?
Brokers have been adding cryptos to their offering for many reasons, including:
1. The need to be current and relevant
According to a survey on institutional expectations for the crypto market, 72% of respondents across North America, Europe and Asia believe cryptocurrencies are here to stay. With global market makers essentially acknowledging the continuing presence of digital assets, it’s no wonder more and more brokers want a piece of the crypto pie. After all, not doing so could potentially see them playing a game of catch-up in the not so distant future.
2. An improved trading experience
Many crypto investors trade via exchanges. While perfectly adequate, cumbersome interfaces and little customer support left a gap in the market for a more seamless process – queue broker involvement. With trading systems such as MT4 and MT5, those wishing to trade forex and digital assets can now do so via one intuitive platform helping to improve the overall consumer experience.
As exchanges can be easily hacked, CFD offerings are also attractive to those looking for a potentially lower risk way of trading cryptos.
3. Tapping into a new audience
Acquisition and retention are top priorities for brokers with crypto offerings allowing companies to tap into new audiences. Traders who perhaps have nothing to do with traditional forex setups but are interested in the buzz surrounding crypto.
Interestingly, according to market research concerning people trading cryptocurrencies, a whopping 81.96% are at the novice level, 10.66% are defined as intermediate and just 7.38% qualify as having an advanced level of experience in the crypto market. This shows that a crypto offering could potentially open the door for many new opportunities.
What do you need to know when launching a crypto range?
When launching a crypto range or introducing it to your brokerage there are many things you need to bear in mind with one of the most important being – rules and regulations!
Crypto trading regulations for brokers
Crypto trading rules vary from country-to-country. While ICOs, exchanges and all-associated crypto topics have been completely banned from China, crypto regulations for Europe and many other parts of the world are still being decided. That said; it doesn’t mean brokers have a free rein to do what they like – far from it.
Indeed, while cryptocurrencies themselves are not considered financial instruments as defined by European rule-setter ESMA, derivatives of cryptos including crypto CFDs are financial instruments and therefore are subject to a host of rules. FX brokers under regulators such as CySEC need to abide by regulations set forth for crypto trading including implementing a limit of 2x leverage on crypto CFDs. Those offering crypto CFDs must also:
- Act honestly, fairly and professionally, in accordance with the best interests of their clients.
- Provide fair clear and not misleading information to their clients.
- Provide appropriate guidance on and warnings of the risks associated with CFD investments.
- Execute orders on terms most favourable to the client.
- Maintain adequate capital.
- Social media regulations for brokers
The world of social media has taken a firm stance against crypto advertising which can be frustrating for brokers looking to launch a crypto product. While social giants such as Twitter and Facebook continue to reject the majority of crypto/blockchain/ICO-related ads, there are still things you can do.
These include being active on other social sites such as Steemit and Telegraph or interacting with influencers to improve your online presence. Remember, crypto communities are powerful and by tapping into the correct audience you can certainly make your mark.
You can also try a range of other marketing techniques such as Facebook Live sessions, Twitter Q&A sessions, webinars, infographics, videos and more.
What are the challenges of launching a crypto offering?
- Crypto education
Cryptocurrencies are relatively new and many people looking to trade them are novices. You must therefore educate them about what’s involved and ensure they’re fully aware of the risks. This is where an expert marketing agency like Contentworks can help. We have worked with a number of brokers, ICOs and blockchain brands to create explainer videos and easy-to-understand content.
- Extreme volatility
Bear in mind that those coming from a forex background might not be overly comfortable or adept at dealing with the extreme volatility of the crypto markets. Alt-coin Aeron (ARN), for example, experienced a 337.29% rise in just 24 hours in January 2018. This again makes education necessary.
- Different mind-sets
While trends and patterns regarding crypto trading are emerging, the extensive historical data linked to forex charts and graphs simply doesn’t compare. So you have to cater to a different audience with a different mind-set. FX traders are usually extremely into fundamental and technical analysis, for instance, whereas beginner crypto traders could essentially be looking to join the hype and make a quick buck.
Again, content creation and a streamlined marketing strategy can help educate those looking to get involved and open an account.
Crypto launch checklist
So you know why cryptos are an attractive option for brokers and have checked out ‘need-to-knows’ and challenges. Now it’s time to work through the dos of a crypto launch, so always:
- Produce great content
In an industry where authenticity is key; content has been firmly upgraded from King to Emperor helping to explain and reinforce difficult or new concepts. Content considerations to think about, include:
- A ‘Content Section’ – somewhere interested traders can go and find out all they need to know about trading cryptos on your platform. The more informative you are, the more likely it is that people will take the next step. Dedicating a separate crypto space on your site will also show commitment to the crypto industry.
- FAQs – free up your support team by crafting easy responses to some of the most frequently asked questions from the crypto sector. This will set you apart from the competition and make you a go-to source of information.
- eBooks – the eBook industry is predicted to be worth about $8 billion dollars per year meaning that people are craving digital information that’s easy to download and readily accessible. So, take notice! Create an eBook with Contentworks and appeal to a wider audience. Download Blockchain eBook.
- Articles and blogs – these are a great way to educate and inform. They can be shared across your social media sites and help to generate buzz around your crypto launch.
- Emails – keep people interested and develop a database of contacts. Remember GDPR rules require you to request permission if you’re holding onto or using personal data.
- Budget for high-quality PR
PR in the crypto space doesn’t come cheap, so make sure you assign a considerable budget for this. Also, think about where you target audience hangs out – perhaps in places just like Finance Magnates! Once you’ve thought about the sites where you want your PR material to be placed, it’s essential to produce high-end content to match. If you don’t have time or resources in house to craft something that does your company justice – don’t be afraid to outsource.
- Create captivating videos
Nothing explains trading like a great video. It helps to clarify difficult subjects and brings authenticity to your brand. Imagine you want to trade crypto CFDs and are looking for a reputable brokerage. A broker with plenty of video content is likely to be more appealing. Why? Because a CEO giving an interview, for example, helps to make a brand more real, more engaging and more genuine – something which is essential amid a sea of scams and malpractices.
And spending time on video pays off with people spending 2.6 X longer on a site with video content than one without. What’s more, as 55% of consumers pay more attention to video than all other types of content, video is a great way to reel people in and encourage them to find out more.
- Think about your support team
Traders often turn to brokers for better customer support and a more seamless experience – so think about how you’ll offer the correct guidance and the approach you’ll take. If you have existing support and sales teams you will need to brief them about your new offering. Content can also help internally to ensure everyone is aligned.
- Decide upon a hard or soft launch
Do you want to introduce your crypto offerings slowly and respond to market feedback – a marketing technique known as a ‘soft launch,’ or do you want to go all out with a ‘hard launch’ that generates as much buzz as possible. This is for you to decide and for us to help you execute in a professional and strategic way.
- Attend industry events
When breaking into a new market or adding to the services your brokerage offers, networking in the right circles is essential in order to increase your industry presence – and that means attending important events. These events are great to stay in touch with latest industry developments and give insights to what is coming up in the future of cryptos and trading.
Launching a crypto product revolves heavily around top-notch content and marketing – after all, blogs, videos, articles, web content and PR materials determine how the world sees you.
Ready to improve your forex and crypto content marketing? Speak to the Contentworks team today. With extensive knowledge of the finance and tech sectors, Contentworks knows exactly what’s needed for a successful crypto launch. The team will be attending Decentralized 2018 in Athens, so arrange a meeting at the event and find out more.

What’s Your Emotional Impact?
Emotions. Tricky, slippery things.
They don’t fit neatly on a spreadsheet, they’re not easily quantifiable, they don’t have a direct cost associated with them and they don’t have a category on a balance sheet.
And yet they influence everything we do as individuals and they are probably one of the single most important factors affecting the bottom line of any business. Because the way we feel determines how we act.
There’s a balance to be struck between rational and emotional thinking.
One of the tensions in communications is that it’s often developed within a rational framework. Organisations need to see logic, left brain thinking, in order to assess, evaluate and decide on appropriate approaches. Presentations are structured on an A means B means C basis, to create arguments that resonate with our logical mind. Conviction at this stage comes from believing the evidence.
But the very people it’s actually designed for rarely, if ever engage with communications like this. The intended audience react on an instinctive, emotional level. They get a gut feel very quickly; they make their decisions with their right brain, they connect – or don’t - based on how they feel. Conviction at this stage comes from trusting in feelings.
Meaningful communication is more than just the facts.
That’s why emotional impact has to be at the heart of any meaningful communication. Amazing progress is being made in understanding the way our minds work and how this intuitive side of our lives works.
We can’t rely purely on our own instinctive judgment, we need some basis for evidence. But nor can businesses afford to ignore the real value of the emotional impact they create. It’s important to think about emotions and be willing to listen to what they have to say, even when it’s surprising and challenging.
The choice is not whether to, it’s how to.
Emotional impact is always there. It’s not an optional extra, because it’s hard wired into the way our brains work and how we make sense of the world around us. Whatever a business does it will create an emotional reaction.
The secret is to understand and encourage the right reaction to get the right impact.

Hidratante Protetor Efeito Matte SPF 30
Nivea Hidratante Protetor Efeito Matte SPF 30Ingredients explained
Good old water, aka H2O. The most common skincare ingredient of all. You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product.
It’s mainly a solvent for ingredients that do not like to dissolve in oils but rather in water.
Once inside the skin, it hydrates, but not from the outside - putting pure water on the skin (hello long baths!) is drying.
One more thing: the water used in cosmetics is purified and deionized (it means that almost all of the mineral ions inside it is removed). Like this, the products can stay more stable over time.
An oil-soluble chemical sunscreen agent that protects the skin from UVB (295-315 nm) with a peak protection at 306 nm. Homosalate is not a strong UV filter in and of itself (gives only SPF 4.3 protection at max. allowed 10% concentration) and it is not photostable (looses 10% of its SPF protection in 45 mins) so it always has to be combined with other sunscreens for proper protection. Its big advantage, though, is that it is a liquid and is excellent for dissolving other hard to solubilize powder sunscreen agents, like the famous Avobenzone.
Regarding Homosalate's safety profile, we do not have the best news. In-vitro (made in the labs) studies have shown that it might have some estrogenic activity. Do not panic, these studies were not conducted on real humans under real world conditions. Still, if you are a 'better safe than sorry' type, be careful when using Homosalate containing sunscreens long-term and full-body.
As of 2020, Homosalate is permitted to be used up to 10% in the EU and 15% in the US, but the EU is currently considering restricting it to only 1.4% (probably taking effect from 2022).
The famous Avobenzone. It is a special snowflake as it is the only globally available chemical sunscreen agent that provides proper UVA protection (in the US, new generation sunscreen agents are not approved because of impossible FDA regulations). It is the global gold standard of UVA protection and is the most used UVA sunscreen in the world.
It gives very good protection across the whole UVA range (310-400 nm that is both UVA1 and UVA2) with a peak protection at 360 nm. The problem with it, though, is that it is not photostable and degrades in the sunlight. Wikipedia says that avobenzone loses 36% of its UV-absorption capacity after just one hour of sunlight (yep, this is one of the reasons why sunscreens have to be reapplied after a few hours).
The cosmetic's industry is trying to solve the problem by combining avobenzone with other UV filters that enhance its stability (like octocrylene, Tinosorb S or Ensulizole) or by encapsulating it and while both solutions help, neither is perfect. Interestingly, the combination of avobenzone with mineral sunscreens (that is titanium dioxide and zinc oxide) is not a good idea. In the US, it is flat out prohibited as avobenzone becomes unstable when combined with mineral sunscreens.
As for safety, avobenzone has a pretty good safety profile. It counts as non-irritating, and unlike some other chemical sunscreens, it shows no estrogenic effect. The maximum concentration of avobenzone permitted is 5% in the EU and 3% in the US.
A colorless to light yellowish oily liquid that works as a UVB (280-320nm) sunscreen filter with a peak absorbance at 306 nm. It's not a strong filter in itself, it's always used in combination with other sunscreen agents to further enhance the SPF and to solubilize other solid UV filters.
It has a good safety profile and is allowed to be used at a max concentration of 5% both in the US and in Europe (10% is allowed in Japan).
An oil-soluble chemical sunscreen agent that protects skin in the UVB and somewhat in the UVA II range with a peak absorption of 304 nm. Its protection is not strong enough on its own but it is quite photostable (loses 10% of SPF protection in 95 mins) and is often used to stabilize other photo-unstable UV-filters, for example, Avobenzone. It is also often used to improve the water resistance of the products.
Octocrylene's safety profile is generally quite good, though a review study in Contact Dermatitis reports an "increasing number of patients with photo contact allergy to octocrylene." Mainly adults with ketoprofen-sensitivity and children with sensitive skin are affected, so if you have a small kid, it is probably better to use octocrylene-free sunscreens.
It's a type of glycol that - according to the manufacturer - is an extremely good replacement for other glycols like propylene or butylene glycol. Its main job is to be a solvent, but it has also very good antimicrobial properties and acts as a true preservative booster. Also helps with skin hydration without stickiness or tacky feel.

- A natural moisturizer that’s also in our skin
- A super common, safe, effective and cheap molecule used for more than 50 years
- Not only a simple moisturizer but knows much more: keeps the skin lipids between our skin cells in a healthy (liquid crystal) state, protects against irritation, helps to restore barrier
- Effective from as low as 3% with even more benefits at higher concentrations up to 20-40% (around 10% is a good usability-effectiveness sweet spot)
- High-glycerin moisturizers are awesome for treating severely dry skin
A clear, almost colorless (or slightly yellowish) oily liquid (an ester to be precise) that's used as a medium spreading emollient. It gives skin a nice and smooth after-feel and it's very good at reducing oiliness or greasiness coming from other heavier oils in the formula.
A chemical sunscreen agent that gives strong protection in the UVB (280-320nm) range with its peak protection at 306 nm. Its special property is that unlike most sunscreen agents, it is not oil but water soluble, so it is ideal to create light, oily skin compatible formulas. It is also fairly photostable and can be used to protect other less stable UV filters (like famous UVA blocker, avobenzone) in the formula. It is approved worldwide and can be used up to 4% in the US and up to 8% in the EU.
We don't have description for this ingredient yet.
It’s the most commonly used version of pure vitamin E in cosmetics. You can read all about the pure form here. This one is the so-called esterified version.
According to famous dermatologist, Leslie Baumann while tocopheryl acetate is more stable and has a longer shelf life, it’s also more poorly absorbed by the skin and may not have the same awesome photoprotective effects as pure Vit E.
We don't have description for this ingredient yet.
Sodium chloride is the fancy name of salt. Normal, everyday table salt.
If (similar to us) you are in the weird habit of reading the label on your shower gel while taking a shower, you might have noticed that sodium chloride is almost always on the ingredient list. The reason for this is that salt acts as a fantastic thickener in cleansing formulas created with ionic cleansing agents (aka surfactants) such as Sodium Laureth Sulfate. A couple of percents (typically 1-3%) turns a runny surfactant solution into a nice gel texture.
If you are into chemistry (if not, we understand, just skip this paragraph), the reason is that electrolytes (you know, the Na+ and Cl- ions) screen the electrostatic repulsion between the head groups of ionic surfactants and thus support the formation of long shaped micelles (instead of spherical ones) that entangle like spaghetti, and viola, a gel is formed. However, too much of it causes the phenomenon called "salting out", and the surfactant solution goes runny again.
Other than that, salt also works as an emulsion stabilizer in water-in-oil emulsions, that is when water droplets are dispersed in the outer oil (or silicone) phase. And last but not least, when salt is right at the first spot of the ingredient list (and is not dissolved), the product is usually a body scrub where salt is the physical exfoliating agent.
Probably the most common silicone of all. It is a polymer (created from repeating subunits) molecule and has different molecular weight and thus different viscosity versions from water-light to thick liquid.
As for skincare, it makes the skin silky smooth, creates a subtle gloss and forms a protective barrier (aka occlusive). Also, works well to fill in fine lines and wrinkles and give skin a plump look (of course that is only temporary, but still, it's nice). There are also scar treatment gels out there using dimethicone as their base ingredient. It helps to soften scars and increase their elasticity.
As for hair care, it is a non-volatile silicone meaning that it stays on the hair rather than evaporates from it and smoothes the hair like no other thing. Depending on your hair type, it can be a bit difficult to wash out and might cause some build-up (btw, this is not true to all silicones, only the non-volatile types).
A super common emollient that makes your skin feel nice and smooth. It comes from coconut oil and glycerin, it’s light-textured, clear, odorless and non-greasy. It’s a nice ingredient that just feels good on the skin, is super well tolerated by every skin type and easy to formulate with. No wonder it’s popular.
An extremely common multitasker ingredient that gives your skin a nice soft feel (emollient) and gives body to creams and lotions. It also helps to stabilize oil-water mixes (emulsions), though it does not function as an emulsifier in itself. Its typical use level in most cream type formulas is 2-3%.
It’s a so-called fatty alcohol, a mix of cetyl and stearyl alcohol, other two emollient fatty alcohols. Though chemically speaking, it is alcohol (as in, it has an -OH group in its molecule), its properties are totally different from the properties of low molecular weight or drying alcohols such as denat. alcohol. Fatty alcohols have a long oil-soluble (and thus emollient) tail part that makes them absolutely non-drying and non-irritating and are totally ok for the skin.
A super common, waxy, white, solid stuff that helps water and oil to mix together, gives body to creams and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth.
Chemically speaking, it is the attachment of a glycerin molecule to the fatty acid called stearic acid. It can be produced from most vegetable oils (in oils three fatty acid molecules are attached to glycerin instead of just one like here) in a pretty simple, "green" process that is similar to soap making. It's readily biodegradable.
It also occurs naturally in our body and is used as a food additive. As cosmetic chemist Colins writes it, "its safety really is beyond any doubt".
An amino acid-based emulsifier that helps water and oil to mix and stay that way. It is considered as natural, environmentally friendly, and hypoallergenic.
The extract of red seaweed that has nice film-forming, skin smoothing and moisturizing properties.
The manufacturer claims that thanks to biomimetic properties between skin proteins and carrageenans it has a very long-lasting action and can form a "second skin". It also gives a "slow-release" effect to oil-loving active ingredients and measurably reduces trans-epidermal water loss (that's pretty much a synonym of saying that it moisturizes the skin).
A kind of polymer (big molecule from repeated subunits) that helps to create beautiful gel-like textures. It's also a texturizer and thickener for oil-in-water emulsions. It gives products a good skin feel and does not make the formula tacky or sticky.
It works over a wide pH range and is used between 0.5-1.2%.
Though its long name does not reveal it, this polymer molecule (big molecule from repeated subunits or monomers) is a relative to the super common, water-loving thickener, Carbomer. Both of them are big molecules that contain acrylic acid units, but Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer also contains some other monomers that are hydrophobic, i.e. water-hating.
This means that our molecule is part water- and part oil-loving, so it not only works as a thickener but also as an emulsion stabilizer. It is very common in gel-type formulas that also contain an oil-phase as well as in cleansers as it also works with most cleansing agents (unlike a lot of other thickeners).
It's one of the most commonly used thickeners and emulsion stabilizers. If the product is too runny, a little xanthan gum will make it more gel-like. Used alone, it can make the formula sticky and it is a good team player so it is usually combined with other thickeners and so-called rheology modifiers (helper ingredients that adjust the flow and thus the feel of the formula). The typical use level of Xantha Gum is below 1%, it is usually in the 0.1-0.5% range.
Btw, Xanthan gum is all natural, a chain of sugar molecules (polysaccharide) produced from individual sugar molecules (glucose and sucrose) via fermentation. It’s approved by Ecocert and also used in the food industry (E415).
A common helper ingredient that works as a so-called chelating agent. It helps products to remain nice and stable for a longer time by neutralizing the metal ions in the formula (that usually get into there from water) that would otherwise cause some not so nice changes.
It’s pretty much the current IT-preservative. It’s safe and gentle, but even more importantly, it’s not a feared-by-everyone-mostly-without-scientific-reason paraben.
It’s not something new: it was introduced around 1950 and today it can be used up to 1% worldwide. It can be found in nature - in green tea - but the version used in cosmetics is synthetic.
Other than having a good safety profile and being quite gentle to the skin it has some other advantages too. It can be used in many types of formulations as it has great thermal stability (can be heated up to 85°C) and works on a wide range of pH levels (ph 3-10).
It’s often used together with ethylhexylglycerin as it nicely improves the preservative activity of phenoxyethanol.
The most common type of feared-by-everyone-mostly-without-scientific-reason parabens. It's a cheap, effective and well-tolerated ingredient to make sure the cosmetic formula does not go wrong too soon.
Apart from the general controversy around parabens (we wrote about it more here), there is a 2006 in-vitro (made in the lab not on real people) research about methylparaben (MP) showing that when exposed to sunlight, MP treated skin cells suffered more harm than non-MP treated skin cells. The study was not done with real people on real skin but still - using a good sunscreen next to MP containing products is a good idea. (Well, in fact using a sunscreen is always a good idea. :))
Citronellol is a very common fragrance ingredient with a nice rose-like odor. In the UK, it’s actually the third most often listed perfume on the ingredient lists.
It can be naturally found in geranium oil (about 30%) or rose oil (about 25%).
As with all fragrance ingredients, citronellol can also cause allergic contact dermatitis and should be avoided if you have perfume allergy. In a 2001 worldwide study with 178 people with known sensitization to fragrances citronellol tested positive in 5.6% of the cases.
There is no known anti-aging or positive skin benefits of the ingredient. It’s in our products to make it smell nice.
Geraniol is a common fragrance ingredient. It smells like rose and can be found in rose oil or in small quantities in geranium, lemon and many other essential oils.
It's one of those things that help your cosmetics not to go wrong too soon, aka a preservative. It can be naturally found in fruits and teas but can also be made synthetically.
No matter the origin, in small amounts (up to 1%) it’s a nice, gentle preservative. Has to be combined with some other nice preservatives, like potassium sorbate to be broad spectrum enough.
In high amounts, it can be a skin irritant, but don’t worry, it’s never used in high amounts.
Linalool is a super common fragrance ingredient. It’s kind of everywhere - both in plants and in cosmetic products. It’s part of 200 natural oils including lavender, ylang-ylang, bergamot, jasmine, geranium and it can be found in 90-95% of prestige perfumes on the market.
The problem with linalool is, that just like limonene it oxidises on air exposure and becomes allergenic. That’s why a product containing linalool that has been opened for several months is more likely to be allergenic than a fresh one.
A study made in the UK with 483 people tested the allergic reaction to 3% oxidised linalool and 2.3% had positive test results.
Exactly what it sounds: nice smelling stuff put into cosmetic products so that the end product also smells nice. Fragrance in the US and parfum in the EU is a generic term on the ingredient list that is made up of 30 to 50 chemicals on average (but it can have as much as 200 components!).
If you are someone who likes to know what you put on your face then fragrance is not your best friend - there's no way to know what’s really in it.
Also, if your skin is sensitive, fragrance is again not your best friend. It’s the number one cause of contact allergy to cosmetics. It’s definitely a smart thing to avoid with sensitive skin (and fragrance of any type - natural is just as allergic as synthetic, if not worse!).
The unfancy name for it is lye. It’s a solid white stuff that’s very alkaline and used in small amounts to adjust the pH of the product and make it just right.
For example, in case of AHA or BHA exfoliants, the right pH is super-duper important, and pH adjusters like sodium hydroxide are needed.
BTW, lye is not something new. It was already used by ancient Egyptians to help oil and fat magically turn into something else. Can you guess what? Yes, it’s soap. It still often shows up in the ingredient list of soaps and other cleansers.
Sodium hydroxide in itself is a potent skin irritant, but once it's reacted (as it is usually in skin care products, like exfoliants) it is totally harmless.

Former Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer V K Garg, who worked as adviser to Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries Limited as head of its indirect taxes division, is set to join as financial adviser to Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh. Faced with fiscal problems and debt burden, the Amarinder government has decided to appoint 1983-batch officer having a vast experience in financial matters as financial advisor to the Chief Minister. Garg will be accorded a state minister’s rank. He will be the sixth adviser to be appointed with CM.
Punjab Finance Minister Manpreet Badal said Garg’s expertise in GST and other financial matters would be very beneficial to Punjab. The list of advisers already working with Amarinder includes Lt Gen T S Shergill (retd), who is senior adviser to CM and enjoys Cabinet minister’s rank, Bharat Inder Singh Chahal who is adviser in State minister’s rank and Khubi Ram who is CM’s security adviser, besides Lt Gen B S Dhaliwal (retd), technical advisor to former chief minister Parkash Singh Badal who has been retained by the Amarinder government.
Garg, an MBA in finance from Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad and a law graduate, served as joint secretary in tax research unit of Union government when Manmohan Singh was the Prime Minister in UPA-II government. Garg, who served as Commissioner of Central Excise in Ludhiana from 2004 to 2007, told The Indian Express on Tuesday that he was ready to join and was awaiting formal orders.

Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the upper airway collapses during sleep. It is the most common type of sleep-disordered breathing, and chances of it occurring become more elevated in obese people.
The first line of treatment for sleep apnea is a non-invasive in-home treatment called CPAP, continuous positive airway pressure therapy. However, if patients do not use the equipment properly, or at all, it cannot help.
Amy M. Sawyer, assistant professor of nursing, Penn State, and her team are looking for the best ways to encourage patients to adhere to the CPAP treatment.
"There is inconsistency in how people use and adhere to CPAP," said Sawyer. "Patients are expected to use CPAP for the eight hours or so that they are asleep. Unfortunately, most patients do not use CPAP for the duration of their sleep time."
A CPAP machine is connected to a nasal, oral or full-face mask. The CPAP machine delivers positive pressure by air, which keeps the upper airway open and unable to collapse -- a definitive problem of obstructive sleep apnea sufferers. Keeping the airway open prevents drops in oxygen levels during sleep and reduces sleep disturbance. As a result, people treated with CPAP have less daytime sleepiness, better cognitive function and generally feel more refreshed. Treating obstructive sleep apnea also lessens other health risks, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
The researchers were looking at different types of interventions to promote CPAP use, the team reports in the current issue of Sleep Medicine Reviews. Sawyer and her team looked at 80 studies to determine what works and what factors are important to consider when helping obstructive sleep apnea people start CPAP therapy.
"Collectively, these studies suggest that patients who experience difficulties and proactively seek solutions to resolve problems (active coping) are more likely to be adherent than those who use passive coping styles," the researchers noted.
Many different factors can affect whether or not patients follow through on their prescribed treatment -- disease and patient characteristics, treatment requirements, technological device factors and side effects, and psychological and social factors. One of the studies that the researchers reviewed showed that about half of newly diagnosed sleep apnea patients would not use CPAP if it made them feel claustrophobic.
Several intervention studies use telecommunications to help patients adhere to their treatment. This method can involve weekly phone calls or wireless telemonitoring of patients.
The researchers determined that CPAP adherence intervention should be done on a case-by-case basis. If social support is involved -- such as a parent or partner -- patients are likely to continue their treatment. With social support sources providing insight, CPAP users are more readily able to identify their own improvements with treatment. If patients do not have social support available to them, then telecommunications may be a good option for them.
"This study highlights the need for individualized considerations for initiating and managing CPAP treatment with diverse patient groups," said Sawyer.
Sawyer is currently directing a clinical trial at the Penn State College of Medicine, Hershey, Pa., to test an individualized approach to helping patients begin CPAP treatment. The trial is funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Nursing Research; and American Nurses Foundation, Sigma Theta Tau International.
Also working on this research were Nalaka Gooneratne, assistant professor of medicine, and Dafna Ofer, physician, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine; Kathy C. Richards, professor of nursing, University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing; Carole L. Marcus, professor of pediatrics, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia; and Terri E. Weaver, professor and dean, University of Illinois at Chicago School of Nursing. A grant from the National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Nursing Research supported the team's research.

by Tom Bodett
Bodett is the deep-woods version of Garrison Keillor.
But while Keillor’s tales of Lake Wobegon, Minn., are funny, wise and literate, Bodett’s homespun anecdotes about End of the Road, Alaska, never rise above droll. Bodett, a radio humorist, is concerned with fires, feuds, drinking, bowling, holiday dinners—the very stuff of life. It’s likable enough, in a Reader’s Digest sort of way, just not all that interesting. And at its worst, Bodett’s rustic humor is rather stale and dull.
That’s too bad, because the End of the Road would seem to have combustible potential, with a populace made up of equal parts coffee-shop rednecks and New Age hippies. Occasionally, Bodett, who resides in Homer, Alaska, gets off a good observation: “Men share some of their most intimate moments leaning against vehicles with their arms crossed looking at anything but each other.”
Most of the time, his punch lines are pretty predictable. Maybe this flat wit works on the radio, with Bodett’s aw-shucks voice pumping it up for all it’s worth. On the page, it’s about as colorful as a lumberjack’s shirt that has been through the wash cycle a few hundred times. (Morrow, $16.95)

Thread: Vortech Tuner kit for 99 Cobra

Vortech Tuner kit for 99 Cobra
Is it possible to get 700 to the rear wheels with a Vortech kit? What would need to be done with fuel management?
08-15-2016, 06:19 PM #2
The Vortech Ti will support more than 700 at the tire.
V-1 TI SUPERCHARGER
Performance specs apply to units equipped with heavy duty gearcase.
It is recommended to run an 8 rib belt and overdrive damper and here is my 8 rib swap thread
For the fuel system, I would suggest an 03-04 cobra tank, pumps, 90MM lighting maf, 60 pound injectors and a Kenne Bell boost a pump.
09-11-2016, 07:15 PM #3
Can you give me the part number for the tuner kit, and the Ti supercharger? I'm assuming your going to upgrade to a return style fuel system for your new build.
09-16-2016, 01:30 AM #4
In order to get the power numbers you want, the blower of your choice will have to be spun past 20PSI so an 8 rib pulley swap would be highly recommended so if you go down that road, I would not waste your money on a tuner kit as you would have to throw away all the pulleys and mounting bolts, etc that come with the tuner kit.
Vortech does not offer an 8 rib pulley kit or an overdrive damper for the 99-01 Cobra 4.6 but it's easy enough to make your own kit and here is my thread on how I created my own 8 rib kit rather than buying some over priced kit from some guy who named himself after a military action figure. https://www.modularfords.com/threads/...ged-2001-Cobra
I would just make my own tuner kit and buy a mounting bracket kit such as this one http://www.superchargersonline.com/i...oducts_id=5350 You will also need a coolant cross over pipe and then you have to modify the cross over pipe http://www.superchargersonline.com/i...oducts_id=7469 and put together your own 8 rib pulley kit with all of the required nuts post, etc.
I would call Vortech to the part number on the Ti blower.

• McLaren has revealed the next version of McLaren 720S, McLaren 765LT.
• Despite of equipped with the same 4.0 litre twin turbo V8 engine, the car has better power to weight ratio.
• The car is 80 kg lighter in weight and has 25% more downforce because of aerodynamic parts than 720S.
• Only 765 units of model will be produced.
A person is not an automotive lover if he/she doesn’t know about McLaren, it is a British conglomerate whose headquarters is based in Woking, Surrey, United Kingdom. It is popularly known as a Formula One constructor and has won many cups and awards. Recently McLaren has revealed the next version of McLaren 720S and the fourth track only Longtail model, McLaren 765LT. The name itself reveals the plans of McLaren regarding 765LT, “LT” stands for Long Tail and they are going to produce 765 units of the model globally.
Although this upgraded version is equipped with the same 4.0 litre twin turbo V8 petrol engine as its previous (McLaren 720S), it has a better power to weight ratio as it is lighter, more powerful track only version of 720S.
The McLaren has trimmed out as much weight as possible in the 765LT, they have fitted a lighter lithium ion battery, transmission parts are made of high performance nickel chrome which we see in formula One cars, more specific and lighter carbon fiber body panels, thinner glass, all made it impressively 80 kg less than 720S.
Even the 4.0 litre V8 engine had lighter aluminum pistons and a gasket of three layer from the Senna which adds power to the engine, the pressure exhaust system, seven speed automatic transmission and all these under the control of ECU boosts up the power from 720 hp to 765 hp and the torque boosts from 770 Nm to 800 Nm.
This speedster can speed upto 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds, 124 mph in 7.2 seconds and it will be storm at 205 mph, it needs an approximate of 361 feet for a complete stop.
The car comes with comfort, sports and track modes, quick steering, ceramic disc brakes, Pirelli tyres and aerodynamics add ons providing 25% more downward force, speed stability, extra grip and full control over the car. Price details are still not revealed by McLaren but the limited supply will certainly make the car at high demand. McLaren will begin its deliveries in September 2020.

Just Transitions to Decarbonisation in the Asia-Pacific region
Climate change is the existential challenge of our time. Ensuring Just Transitions whilst tackling climate change and biodiversity loss is key to supporting inclusive economies and societies in the future. The need to engage with communities, workers, businesses, policymakers and the wider public in order to identify the potential disruptions of and opportunities for decarbonising economies and societies is key to the challenges faced by policymakers.
As referenced in the COP26 Just Transitions Declaration, the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Guidelines for a Just Transition, to be negotiated between governments, employers, and their organisations, as well as workers and their Trade Unions, established a global understanding for the term “Just Transitions”, which is described as a process “towards an environmentally sustainable economy, which needs to be well managed and contribute to the goals of decent work for all, social inclusion and the eradication of poverty”.
Evidence from the SHAPE disciplines is critical in order to broaden our understanding of the term “Just Transitions” so that it includes the complex human and social dimensions to environmental challenges, and their solutions. These disciplines also expand our understanding of the term across geographical, cultural, economic, and social contexts by examining the challenges of decarbonising economies and societies, help develop lessons learnt and set out guidelines for transitions that are just.

Georgia Love deleted the offensive video from her Instagram story on Monday and immediately apologized for it.
The former bachelorette had posted a video of a cat sitting on a window sill of a restaurant. She had captioned her story as “shop attendant or lunch?” along with a cry-laughing emoji and a shocked emoji. She received immense criticism and backlash which made her delete that particular story.
The 33-years-old diva posted a lengthy apology stating “earlier I posted a video of a cat in a restaurant window. I meant for this to be a joke about an animal being in a restaurant at lunch service time. I meant absolutely no insinuation about the type of animal nor the type of restaurant, but I see that my post did not come across like that and was offensive.”
She further added “I sincerely apologize for the oversight and offense I have caused. Thank you to those who called me out. This is what we need to make sure we are all accountable and do better. Again. I apologize from the bottom of my heart for the offence caused.”
Several celebrities jumped on the bandwagon to either criticize the superstar or commemorate her for realizing her mistake and coming out with an apology immediately.
Renowned author Clementine Ford stated “it’s asking for a lot of suspended disbelief to think someone who works in the media wouldn’t be aware of the racist connotations being made here. And if she’s not – and has somehow managed to bypass even being aware of the #stopasianhate movement- it confirms again how low Australia sets the bar for people to be given high profile jobs in TV media, and just how insular they are allowed to be.”
A very famous “watchdog” Instagram account named Aussie influencer opinions posted – the initial video posted by Georgia later on followed by her apology.
The video taken and posted as a joke soon turned into a grave mistake as it was taken in an Asian restaurant and the animals in the video are often implied as being eaten by people of Asian descent.
Things went out of hand; when Georgia Love received backlash over being racist towards Asians and making insensitive jokes about them. The former reality star did publish a long and heartfelt apology but the damage has been done. The video is being forwarded further, making it viral across the globe.
Let’s see how long it will take for Georgia Love’s apology to also make waves across different social media platforms.

Caputo. In each case very different ideas are implied by the same term, although with the Deleuzian event we find something very close to Whitehead’s thesis. Just as, in Whitehead’s ideas, an Eastern preoccupation with process is emphasised over a Western obsession with fact, so too for Deleuze, event is the means by which one avoids the ontological straitjacketing presented by the Heideggerian question: what is a thing? By thinking in terms of events rather than things, a more processual image of the world emerges, very much in keeping with the process philosophy of Whitehead, as well as the intuition of duration explored by Bergson.
Where does the art experience begin and end? In order to begin to answer these questions, we initially turn to a triad of philosophers, more or less contemporaneous with one another, who offer possible responses through their respective concepts of event, duration and porosity. Event It is not uncommon these days to think of a work of art in terms of its impact as an experience or event. Let us briefly take as an example an art event that some have argued inaugurated a shift in conventions, opening up the spaces and expectations for ecclesiastical art: Bill Viola’s video projection, The Messenger, commissioned for Durham Cathedral in 1996.
Indeed, it may be that any attempt to isolate the elements of an event results in altering their very nature. To see each of the elements of a particular event as distinct, separate and determinable is to lose sight of its affective nature as a qualitative rather than quantitative multiplicity of interlacing durations. It suits the conventions of aesthetic appreciation to separate the work of art from its environment, but it is a false expression of the experience of that moment. In one sense, of course, it is obvious that things visually colour everything else around them and are themselves similarly affected.

Decent Cake Pans and Baking Pans can make a real difference in how your meals or desserts turn out.
Many pans can be used for baking other foods like cornbread, lasagna, strata, cobblers, brownies and even meats, seafood and poultry so I have grouped these together.
These pans come in all sizes, shapes and materials.
The most common shapes are square, rectangular and round.
Probably the most popular is a 9 X 13 X 2 inch rectangular pan like the Nordicware Covered Pan pictured. Having the lid is a bonus when storing food.
The most common size for a square pan is 8 inches and 1 1/2
-2 inches deep.
Similarly, round cake pans are usually 8 or 9 inches in diameter and 1 1/2 inches deep such as the Chicago Metallic Commercial 8-Inch Round Pan pictured to the right.
These are frequently used for layer cakes.
Aluminum is still the most popular material for these pans, with or without an anodized surface. But a word to the wise ... not all aluminum pans are "created" equal.
If you buy an aluminum pan, make certain it is not "thin."
Most everyone understands that the inexpensive aluminum bake ware found in most grocery stores and often in discount stores is of very poor quality. It will warp and rust easily.
If you want an aluminum pan with a non-stick surface, that's fine, but again make sure it is of decent quality. A cheap nonstick surface won't last.
Unless you can find heavy "tri-ply" stainless bake ware that has been thoroughly tested and approved, don't bother with it. Stainless steel often heats unevenly and that means nothing other than poor baking results.
Silicone cake pans are relatively new to the baking scene but a number of people I know really like the product, as do I.
If you need more than one or two baking pans, check bake ware sets. You may save some money rather than purchasing one pan at a time. See if you find a set that has the pans you must have and then see what other piece or pieces are part of the set and whether you could (would) use these often enough to make buying the set worthwhile.
Two examples of such sets are pictured here.
One is from Anolon and is rated highly by people who have used it.
The other is from Calphalon and again, many people appreciate that bake ware.
Cake pans also come in what I call "novelty" shapes, from guitars to Elmo to heart-shaped like the silicone one pictured here. It's great fun.

From the August 2000 issue of The Beacon -- The Bill Emerson
Memorial Bridge has completed another major milestone on its way to
spanning the Mississippi River at Cape Girardeau--the jet-grouting
process is complete.
Jet-grouting was used to strengthen fissures in the bedrock at the Pier 3 site.
The crevices in the bedrock were filled with cement grout through a process similar
to that of visiting your local dentist.
Borings were made to a determined depth and a jet-grouting tool was inserted.
The tool used high-pressure water and air to flush silt and other weak deposits
from the surrounding area and simultaneously fill those spaces with a cement
The process took about a year and a half to complete. Jet grouting was necessary
for the bridge to meet the seismic requirements for Southeast Missouri.

Do you guys ever wonder where I come up with some of these titles? Most of them are really boring, I know, and sometimes maybe they are even downright self indulgent. But let me tell you, when you are sitting at a long wooden table, looking down at the bottom of a gigantic empty 1 litre glass, you get some pretty strange ideas popping into your head. And that is pretty much what Munich is turning out to be...
We left Buchs, got lost in Bergenz, Austria, and then finally made our way to Fussen in Southern Germany along the Austrian border. Near Fussen, there are two amazing castles that were inhabited by some of the last German royalty in the late 1800's. One of the castles was used by Walt Disney as the model for his castles in Disneylands all over the world. Well, the castles are in fact beautiful, but man it was pretty crowded - I guess we should have expected that with Christmas vacations for everyone. After walking around for a while admiring the views we got back into the car and headed for Munich. I felt well prepared having printed my Mapquest directions the day before. Well, forget about that, they sucked! We got turned around for over an hour on a bunch of freeways and eventually I just gave up and went with my gut. I headed or the Hauptbanhof (main train station), because they are always in the centre (Zentrum) of town, and I could find my way to the hostel from there. Sure enough, after 15 minutes, I had us there. I should know better. I should trust my travellers instincts more by now shouldn't I? Or maybe it was just pure luck. Anyway, we were both cranky after an hour of that, but the room was nice and the bed comfy so that's good.
Actually, having the car for a week helped us get around fairly well to places like Interlaken that we really could not have done by train with the time we had, but otherwise, I would not recommend it for Europe. Cars are impossible in the cities (The best part of the cities are for pedestrians anyway...), the trains station is always near where you want to be, and parking costs are outrageous. Stick with the train folks... Case in point, tomorrow we have to drive to the airport with a gazillion turns, when there is a metro station 200 metres from the hostel that would get us there with one transfer. That's probably the best example I can give.
Anyway, Munich is a nice city. Lots of nice old churches (one particular Baroque one built around the apogee of that style's lifespan is superb) and great main square with city hall, and above all, excellent Bavarian culture. We ate bratwurst off the street, and eventually found our way to the hofbrauhauss, a gigantic beer hall built back in the 1500's if you can believe it. Inside, it must hold 1000 people, and everyone is drinking gigantic 1 litre beers and wolfing down pork and potato plates. In the background, the oompapa band plays on for hours. It was about as German as you would expect. And that's when it got surreal. Kristine said to me "Hey, did you notice that absolutely every man in here has the same moustache"? I said, "Yeah, you're right!" And then, having downed most of my "Dunkel", I drifted off into lala land, and everyone started to look like my Uncle Frank! Yes, as you guessed, Uncle Frank is of German origin, but one should not play on the stereotypes should one? But it was uncanny, they all looked like him! On my way to the toilets, I almost turned a guy from his shoulder and said "Hey, Uncle Frank! What are you doing in Munich!?!" Weird things happen.
Then I walked into the bathroom, where there were at least 65 urinals. Makes sense, I thought, as I deposited a good 25% of my beer back into the pipes of the proprietor.
And so ends our European adventure - standing over a urinal. Better than under it. I guess that's how a lot of adventures end, at least for men. Tomorrow morning we are airborne again and headed for (drum roll) Egypt! We're really looking forward to the change in culture back to something less familiar, but at the same time we are afraid of what the food will be like. Just spoiled Europeans now, we are! I'm sure it will be fine... We are joining a group with Gecko's again, having had a good time with that company in China, and there are a tonne of sights to see in Egypt and Jordan, the two countries that are a part of this tour. I'm not sure what the computer access is going to be like for the next couple of months as we cover this ground and make our way down Africa, so, please bear with us - We will always be here, and we love having you with us!!!!!

As earlier posts have argued, relations between Washington and New Delhi – which not too long ago seemed destined to reach for the stars – are now feeling the heavy tug of gravity. In place of soaring rhetoric and high-profile undertakings, ties between the two capitals are weighed down by bureaucratic inertia and small-bore ideas.
Two recent episodes confirm this downward trajectory. The annual U.S.-India economic and financial partnership talks took place this past June in Washington, though few beyond the personal staffs of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee took any notice. The anodyne communiqué that was issued highlighted the deepening of “institutional relationships” as a major achievement of the talks, but the lack of specific commitments contrasted unfavorably with the detailed work plan that emanated from the U.S.-China economic dialogue occurring just six weeks earlier. Indeed, the Washington-Beijing nexus has a way of upstaging U.S.-India economic exchanges. When Geithner traveled to New Delhi in April 2010, for the launch of the bilateral economic partnership, all of the media attention was focused on whether he would fly off on a spur-of-the-moment trip to China, to engage in talks over the relative value of the yuan. (To nobody’s surprise, he subsequently did end up in Beijing.) Similarly the U.S.-India Strategic Dialogue that took place six weeks ago in New Delhi was an exercise in modest output and mutual frustration.
Given the serious domestic problems diverting the attention of both capitals, it is difficult to imagine how the government-to-government relationship can be advanced significantly in the next few years. Nonetheless, the outlook for bilateral affairs is not entirely dim. One exceedingly bright spot is the accelerating pace of economic engagement. A decade ago, then-U.S. ambassador to India Robert Blackwill lamented that the volume of bilateral trade was as “flat as a chapati.” But trade levels have risen markedly in the years since. Indeed, even with the global economy in the doldrums and the torpor in official ties, 2010 was a banner year for the trade relationship, with two-way goods exports surging nearly 30 percent to $48.8 billion. Merchandise exports are also up significantly in the first half of 2011 compared to the same period last year. All told, India is now America’s 12th largest good trading partner and the country constitutes one of the fastest-growing destinations for U.S. exports.
It is true that the economic relationship is very far from achieving critical mass and that U.S.-China trade flows eclipse the U.S.-India figures many times over. Still, the trend lines are quite hopeful and they illuminate the vital role that economic engagement plays in securing the growth of a resilient partnership over the long term. This last point is persuasively set out in a new book, The Eagle and the Elephant, by Raymond E. Vickery, Jr. A former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce in the Clinton administration and now a leading figure in the U.S.-India Business Council, Vickery argues that “economic engagement is fundamental to the ability of the United States and India to cooperate politically.” He demonstrates in great detail how over the past decade the private sectors on both sides forged the foundation for the diplomatic rapprochement that eventuated in the path-breaking civilian nuclear accord and an ever-closer security relationship. (Importantly, too, the book illustrates how mismanaged episodes of economic interaction can have far-reaching negative impact, such as the Dabhol debacle in the mid-1990s that continues to impede bilateral cooperation on energy and environmental matters, as well as impairing India’s international credibility as a respecter of contractual rights.)
So how can policymakers in Washington and New Delhi leverage the vitality of the economic relationship in order to re-energize the overall partnership? Two of the usual answers – concluding a broad-based free trade agreement and an investment treaty – are problematic, at least for the next few years. Considering that the two countries are at loggerheads in the Doha Round of multilateral trade negotiations, plus the neuralgic agricultural issues that must be dealt with, the prospects for a comprehensive trade accord are well off in the distance. And although U.S. and Indian policymakers recently agreed to accelerate discussions over an investment treaty, its full value is really contingent upon additional reforms within India – such as liberalizing foreign direct investment in the retail and financial sectors, deregulating labor markets, regularizing the land acquisition process, and dramatically addressing infrastructure bottlenecks. With decision-making in New Delhi all but paralyzed these days, it is anyone’s guess when these key reforms will be enacted.
There are several initiatives that have more promising prospects, however. Washington and New Delhi should aim to build upon their striking record of engagement in the innovation economy sectors by crafting a free trade mechanism relevant to advanced technology products and drafting an immigration accord that allows high-skilled Indian professionals to work in the United States. Both undertakings would capitalize on important economic complementaries and would build up economic capacities that are so significant to the long-term prospects of both countries.
Continuing to think outside the box, negotiators also might explore a quid-pro-quo agreement, in which India addresses manifold U.S. concerns about its regime for protecting intellectual property in exchange for a totalization agreement covering Indian technology workers temporarily posted to the United States (as Derek Scissors suggests) or for a special restoration of trade privileges (amounting to $3.5 billion in value in 2010) that expired when the U.S. Congress failed to reauthorize the Generalized System of Preferences at the end of last year.
Finally, taking page from its successful campaign several years ago to bring India into global nonproliferation institutions, the United States should use the upcoming APEC Summit, which takes place this November in Honolulu, to lobby for New Delhi’s admission into the group. Given that India is poised to become one of the world’s top economies in the coming years, its absence is a serious lacuna for the organization.
With the intergovernmental drivers of the U.S.-India partnership now in a period of languor, it is time for the economic relationship to return to the forefront. This is the moment for business leaders in both countries to once again step forward.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (CBS.MW) -- Shares of Frontier Corp., the No. 5 U.S. long-distance carrier, bounced around Thursday following a report that Global Crossing will sweeten its buyout offer to make up for a sharp decline in its stock price.
Shares of Frontier FRO, -1.22% climbed as much as 3 3/16 before ending the day up a modest 1/4 at 42 3/8. The stock essentially had been flat until the financial-news cable channel CNBC reported that Global Crossing would increase its bid. Global Crossing ", whose stock had been up, reversed course and ended the day down 1 7/8, or 7.2 percent, to 24.
According to the televised report, Global Crossing will exchange two shares for each share of Frontier. In return, Frontier has agreed to drop a clause that would have allowed the carrier to walk away from the deal.
Initially, Frontier shareholders would have received a fixed price of $63 a share so long as Global Crossing's stock traded within a certain range. Under the new deal, the exchange would be valued closer to $49 a share, at current prices. While that might appear to be a stingier offer, it should be noted that Frontier's stock has also fallen sharply, and that would account for the lower price.
Officials from neither company could immediately be reached for comment. Frontier's board is expected to meet Thursday night.
Yet when asked by CBS.MarketWatch.com last week whether Global Crossing would consider sweetening its bid, that company's chief executive, Robert Annunziata, said: ""We're reasonable businesspeople. The Frontier management as well as (Global) have decided that this is a good merger, and, if it comes down to that, we would do what's prudent and right for both terms, but, again, we have time for that."
The two companies initially struck a deal in March, though it was almost derailed subsequently by a hostile bid from Qwest Communications QWST, +0.00%. Qwest later withdrew its bid after snatching US West usw, the Denver-based Baby Bell, away from Global Crossing.
Global Crossing,a 2-year-old carrier that's building an undersea global cable network, had been expected to raise its offer amid an approximately 50 percent reduction in its stock since mid-July. During that time, Frontier has fallen nearly 30 percent.
Under the original agreement, Frontier had an escape clause stating that it could turn down the offer if Global Crossing's stock traded below a range of $34.56 to $56.78 for 15 out of 30 trading days before the deal's completion. Global Crossing's stock has been beneath the range for 19 straight days.
Frontier shareholders are slated to vote on the deal Sept. 23.

Welcome! We created London Counselling Psychologists to fill a gap that is often felt by trainee and qualified psychologists. As experienced clinicians and trainers, we can offer training and support every step of your path to qualifying as a Counselling Psychologist and beyond.
These days, most of our work focuses on research support, and mock vivas are our particular specialty, for which we come very well recommended – see some of our reviews below! However, if you need something specific, please feel free to contact us, more than likely we’ll be able to point you in the right direction.
Check out our supervision directory too, where you’ll find a list of experienced HCPC supervisors with a special interest in supervising trainees’ clinical work. If you’re looking for a new supervisor, click here.
We also have a blog! In the blog, we publish articles, news items, requests for participants and all sorts of other bits. Think of it as a cross between a noticeboard and that pile of papers that you never quite get around to reading!
We’re more than happy to create a bespoke event, such as a supervision group or a workshop if you have a specific need and a ready audience!
What people say about us…
I used LCoP for a mock viva a few weeks before the real thing and am so pleased I did. It helped me see how I was focusing on the wrong areas in terms of the viva and sharpened my attention to values and ethics. It’s so important to practice talking about the portfolio and the mock I had challenged me to present strong rationales for each piece of work. Really worth the money!
A really useful, flexible and swift service. I wanted to discuss my research proposal with someone, and I found my LCoP supervisor to be engaging and a great person to bounce ideas off! The supervisor also helped me to critically reflect on the direction I wanted my research to go in, and gave very informative feedback. I feel that I have a clearer sense of what I’m doing and I hope to continue using the service as my thesis/research progresses.
My LCoP supervisor was fantastic at being able to provide a safe and open place for me to talk […] I always felt comfortable to bring my uncertainties and sense of stuck-ness to supervision, feeling safe to get things wrong at times. I was also grateful for her thought-provoking questions that often opened up new and more creative ways of thinking.
