Folks, the time has come again for a film which will change the World. We’ve had the advent of the black and white silent movie, the birth of colour, the arrival of talkies, and heck, we’ve had Jingle All The Way, but coming this year will be a revolutionary movie that will change the way you perceive moving images on a screen. I’m talking about Disaster Movie, the film that follows Date Movie and Epic Movie to form a trilogy of ‘oh sweet lord, what the f*ck is wrong with people?’
This is the poster they released today, which shows in one picture just how the movie will change things forever: it’s going to make not one god-damned lick of sense. In their past grande opus du cinema (my French is ropey at best, alright?) they’ve made fun of Paris Hilton by having someone who looks like Paris Hilton be in their film, made fun of Britney Spears by having someone that looks like Britney Spears be in their film, and don’t even get me started on the gay jokes. Oh, the joys of this planet, a planet where you can see a film like Disaster Movie, which takes all the best jokes from when you were at school and had to change with the rugby team before a PE lesson, and transplants them into a film which everyone in the World will get to see.
So what will get zinged this time round? With Meet The Spartans on dominant film-referencing form, are there any films which have not been replicated that need a good replication? We are only a few months away from a teaser trailer, and if it’s any match for the previous ones (check ‘em out on Youtube! They have a surprisingly large number of views!) then we are in for a treat. Nerdy people and children WILL get hit in the face, puke jokes WILL be made, animals WILL be injured… and third-rate rappers that nobody outside of America knows about WILL turn up.
It’s a party and you’re all invited. The Countdown to Disaster Movie begins!

Residents around Klukwan can now get cell phone service in the area around the village, following completion of a tower behind the village last month by Alaska Communications Systems (ACS).
A company press release says starting Oct. 5 village residents now get "wireless voice and 2G data speeds."
Customers say they’ve gotten service at Chilkat Lake weir, 19 Mile and to near the junction of Haines Highway and Mosquito Lake Road.
Cell phones on the ACS network, including those sold at Alaska Power and Telephone in Haines, work in the village.
Local cell service previously extended only to 10 Mile Haines Highway. There’s still no cell phone service between Mosquito Lake and Haines Junction.

“You rock and you're the best!!!! Seriously appreciate you... You're unbelievable!!!! Thank you Mark so much! So frickin cool buddy! What an artist you are! Wow wow, You just did such an amazing job, simply incredible! No one will ever know I froze to death at the shoot! Lol !!!”
Music and Culture Ambassador Of Mississippi
Spokesman, The Fat Trout Whisky
Known by many as
THE DELTA MAN, MUSIC and CULTURE AMBASSADOR of MISSISSIPPI
STEVE AZAR is a modern day RENAISSANCE MAN.
Hit songwriter, recording artist, music producer, golfer and philanthropist. Steve likes to call his own breed of music “Delta Soul,” a mixture of country, rock and blues.
His debut album Waitin’ On Joe was released in 2001. The title track went to #1 on CMT and featured Academy award-winning actor Morgan Freeman. Taylor Swift told People Magazine in 2010 that her favorite song of the year was Steve Azar’s “Sunshine.”
Slide On Over Here, featuring the hit single “Sunshine,” was spotlighted in Oprah’s O Magazine in her Top Things to Buy At Christmas Edition in 2011.
“Sunshine” was also featured in US Weekly Magazine in June 2012 as one of the most popular celebrity wedding songs.
I first met Steve in 2013, when I had the pleasure to capture images for Fat Trout Whisky’s marketing campaign featuring Steve as The Delta Man.
A singer, songwriter, excellent golfer and spokesperson are among Steve’s many talents, making him a perfect fit for the Fat Trout brand.
Steve has used our Images on a variety of materials ranging from album covers, ad campaigns and marketing materials to showcase his many musical, cultural and ambassador projects.
We spent a week shooting at various locations around Mississippi, including the historic Crossroads,
where the legend says blues musician Robert Johnson sold his soul to the Devil for the ability to play a mean guitar, to shoot the covers of
"Fly" which was written and recorded for the 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships and was also the feature song on Sony Pictures Paul Blart Mall Cop 2.
Steve also hosts an annual Delta Soul Celebrity Golf and Charity Event
The Steve Azar St. Cecilia Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable corporation.
St. Cecilia is The Patron Saint of Musicians and Composers, and the purpose of the foundation is to raise funds for charitable organizations, particularly in the Delta region, that aid sick, disadvantaged and abused children as well as supporting the arts within educational and cultural institutions.
The Steve Azar St. Cecilia Scholarship is awarded to qualified graduates from Washington County high schools through the Education Foundation of Greenville, Inc.
We then reconnected in February 2017, in Los Angeles at the GRAMMY Museum during GRAMMY week. Steve was giving a special performance at the Clive Davis Theater: Steve Azar & The Kings Men, a group of musicians who backed B.B. King, Elvis Presley and other musical Kings.
I feel truly lucky to have met Steve, he’s a constant inspiration as an artist and a person. His enigmatic energy and personality feel like sunshine. Steve glows with a warmth that makes everyone feel like a part of classic Southern charm and hospitality.
“You are a good man! And crazy talented!
Thx for making me look better than I am:)
You're the best.”
A portion of every Session is donated to
Eden Reforestation Projects. Eden is a 501(c)3 international nonprofit that is committed to alleviating extreme poverty and restoring healthy forests in Madagascar, Haiti, Nepal, Indonesia, Mozambique and beyond.
• Alleviating extreme poverty by hiring local villagers to grow, plant and guard large-scale forests restoration sites

This is my 2nd post for today. If you're looking for the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge, please scroll down one post. :)
I was so excited to be asked to be a Guest Designer for August for the Chocolate, Coffee & Cards Challenge blog. With a name like that, how can you go wrong?? :)
This week's sponsor is A Day for Daisies digi stamps. They have sooo many cute images. I was excited to get to work with their Little League digi. Our son used to play baseball when he was young and I can't decide if this digi reminds me of him or our grandson. Can you tell I'm missing both of them?
This week's challenge is to use wet or dry embossing. Since I'm still digging out from all the boxes due to our recent move, I chose to use dry embossing. I used two different embossing folders. One to add faux stitching around the background panel and one to add texture behind my little slugger.
I colored my little guy with copics and then fussy cut him out and popped him up on the textured panel. A simple "hello" stamp was stamped & matted and then also popped up. A few brads were added for additional texture & interest.
Patterned Papers: MME (Good ay Sunshine), Echo Park (Dots & Sripes)
Stamps: A Day for Daisies (Little League), Hello (Studio G)
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa
Embellishments/Tools: Cuttlebug Embossing Folders (Just My Type, Spots & Dots), Copics (E37, E35, E33, E29, E25, E00, E01, W-1, N9, N5, B21, B23, B32, B000, Y11, Y15, Y13, YR07, 100, Y000), Brads (MM), Spellbinders (Petite Ovals Large & Small)
I'm linking this card up at 52 Card Pickup #32.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you'll play along with this week's Chocolate, Coffee, & Cards challenge.

In early April, Sophia Ming Sun announced her candidacy for the Liberal nomination to run in the riding of Markham – Unionville in the 2018 provincial election.
Sun attends about 200 events each year in her roles as the president of the Canada-China Investment Association and executive director of the Confederation of Toronto Chinese Canadian Organizations.
In 2013, Sophia successfully organized an 11-mayor delegation to China for an economic development and cultural exchange. She later organized and joined a second mayoral trade mission to China in 2015.
Sun ran for Regional Councillor in Markham in the 2014 municipal election. She obtained thousands of votes, but not enough votes to beat incumbents Jim Jones, Joe Li, Jack Heath, or incoming Nirmala Armstrong for one of the four regional councillor seats.
Things are revving up as the next provincial election approaches.
Paul Calandra, former Conservative MP for Markham-Stouffville, is now the Progressive Conservatives candidate for Markham-Stouffville and Andrew Keyes is one of the contenders fighting for the nomination for the provincial Conservatives for Markham-Unionville.

It's so simple, really. Crap, we got into Iraq for their oil and to avenge Georgie's daddy, after all. Doesn't take much to make it happen.And, nothin' like a good war to take the country's minds off of bank misdeeds and the need to give Haliburton and the Big C one more go for the gold.
Read The Full Article:
According to the Congressional Budget Office (if I'm reading this right -- no guarantees!) we could rig up 20 interceptor missiles on the East Coast for a measly $3.6 billion. At that rock-bottom price, no wonder spending-slashing House GOP-ers are all for it.
It's another "Loop" contest, and we always try to keep track of those -- if only in the (probably vain) hope that a DWT will enter and win the coveted prize of an "In the Loop" T-shirt and feel ethically obliged to share it with the people who told him/her about the contest in the first place. (I guess you can't easily "share" a T-shirt, so perhaps we're talking about forking said T-shirt over as a sort of finder's fee.)
First, you have to admit it -- you lose sleep over the possibility of nuclear-equipped missiles launched by North Korea or Iran reaching the East Coast of the U.S. Yes, we're tallking about the East Coast, for the simple reason that the West Coast already has its missile defenses in place, in two sites: a site in Alaska (with 27 missiles) and one in California (with three). This presumably explains why those dastardly North Koreans, once they beef up their missile technology a bit, would be aiming their missiles at the East rather than the West Coast.
As Al Kamen points out, in announcing the new contest in today's Washington Post "In the Loop" column,
the Iranians and North Koreans don't have long-range missiles (yet), and the Iranians -- best we can tell -- don't have any nukes.
And sure, the general in charge of the North American Aerospace Defense Command has said "today's threats do not require an East Coast" site and the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman said last week that we don't need one.
But what do they know?
The House is scheduled this week to take up a bill that would require the Pentagon to start work on a missile defense system to protect the East Coast from Iranian or North Korean long-range nuclear missiles.
The bill would require the Defense Department to conduct an environmental-impact statement by the end of next year with an operational site in place "not later than the end of 2015."
Seems a bit speedy, but there's a quick $100 million in the bill for surveys and planning and such.
The Congressional Budget Office on Tuesday estimated that the cost for 20 interceptors would be only $3.6 billion from 2013 to 2017 -- missiles, site prep and facilities included. That's a bargain!
After all, Alaska deployment is easy. Our coast is a bit more congested.
Loop Fans can help keep America safe!
Yes, it's the Loop "Pick the Site" contest. Where should the missiles go?
Maybe we could circle Manhattan with interceptors to protect the job creators on Wall Street? Or group them at the Baseball Hall of Fame in central New York to protect the national pastime? Hide them in the Epcot theme park in Orlando? Put a few in Chincoteague to protect the wild ponies?
You can leave your entry as a comment on our blog (washingtonpost.com/intheloop) -- you may want to double-check that there?s an active e-mail address associated with your washingtonpost.com log-in.
You can also e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.org. (Please make sure you include a phone number -- home or cell -- so we can contact you.)
The top five winners will receive a coveted In the Loop T-shirt and the usual bragging rights when we announce winners. (If you need to enter "on background," that's fine.)
Don't delay. Contest deadline is May 25.

If the Affordable Care Act is overturned, nearly 62,000 “uninsurable” patients could lose health insurance coverage if the Affordable Care Act is overturned. These people, who have been turned down by insurance companies because of pre-existing coverage, can receive coverage through the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP). The temporary program helps them find insurance until 2014, when insurance companies will be required to accept all applicants regardless of medical history. But if the provisions that expand health care access are stripped, then PCIP participants would have no options. “They need to look at this carefully because it is going to affect a lot of people with a lot of bad conditions who are not going to have any health care coverage,” Amie Goldman, who oversees PCIP in Wisconsin, told the AP.

We measured the CSF tau protein levels in 26 patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome. The levels of the poor outcome group (Hughes grade at 6 months was between II and VI, n = 6) were higher than those of the good outcome group (0 or I, n = 20) (p < 0.0005). The higher levels of CSF tau may reflect axonal degeneration and could predict a poor clinical outcome in Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Ammonium sulfate [(NH4)2 SO4] was one of the first and most widely used nitrogen (N) fertilizers for crop production，it is used primarily where there is a need for supplemental N and S to meet the nutritional requirement of growing plants. The active ingredients in it are nitrogen and sulfur. Correct use of this fertilizer maintains healthy nitrogen levels in the soil and, in the case of alkaline soils, helps to maintain a good pH balance. When used in excess, however, it can cause a range of undesirable plant conditions, such as excessive leaf growth, weak plant bodies, and excessive thatch in lawns.
The global Ammonium Sulfate Fertilizer market will reach Volume Million USD in 2019 and with a CAGR xx% between 2020-2026.

Commonwealth group calls for pardon for illegal Indians in MalaysiaJanuary 15th, 2009 - 4:51 pm ICT by ANI
Kuala Lumpur, Jan.15 (ANI): The Commonwealth International Peace Tribunal has urged Malaysia to pardon illegal Indian nationals.
The Star and the Malaysia Nanban quoted its president Selvam Parimanan, who is visiting Malaysia, as saying that he would send a memorandum on the matter to Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and meet political leaders to discuss the problem.
Parimanan, who is Commonwealth Indian Lawyers Council president, said he was told that more than 80,000 Indian nationals were working in Malaysia in various sectors, and of them, about 30 percent were working illegally.
He said most of the illegals were detained in prisons and detention camps, and added that about 180,000 Indian nationals had taken advantage of the pardon first given by the Malaysian Government in 2002. (ANI)

5YO: Weather Watchers!
The 5-year-old orange students are weather watchers! They are keeping journals with their drawings of each day's weather, which include what's in the sky, whether it's windy or not, what's the temperature (what kind of clothes we are wearing), and if it's wet or dry. As part of our weather study, the students learned about the water cycle and recreated it inside of Ziplock bags this week. The students were excited to see water droplets in the "atmosphere" of some of their bags. This also made us wonder why some bags did not have water droplets in the atmosphere- hmmmm? Later in the week, we made wind vanes to check the direction the wind is blowing. Next up, we'll learn about severe weather and make tornadoes in bottles! Weather watching sure is fun!


A report from the National Audit Office (NAO) warned that border weaknesses could be exploited by criminal gangs.
With just six months to go before the UK officially leaves the EU, the government has been scrambling to prepare for the possibility of a “no-deal” Brexit.
The EU and UK are currently in divorce proceedings, working on a deal that will determine just how closely the UK follows EU trade and customs arrangements in the future—roughly speaking, whether it is a “soft” or “hard” Brexit.
The possibility of no deal being struck has spooked markets in recent months.
In that scenario, the shared regulatory ties and customs arrangements will be severed overnight on March 29, 2019 as the relationship automatically moves to rules set out by the World Trade Organisation.
“Government has openly accepted the border will be sub-optimal if there is no deal with the EU on March 29, 2019,” said NAO head Amyas Morse.
“It is not clear what sub-optimal means in practice, or how long this will last. But what is clear is that businesses and individuals who are reliant on the border running smoothly will pay the price.”
The report acknowledged the government plans had made some progress, but warned that even with a deal “significant challenges” lie ahead to ensure the UK border is fully functioning.
The UK currently operates under EU customs and regulations, allowing frictionless trade and borders.
In the event of no-deal, potentially 250,000 traders who have not previously done so would need to make customs declarations, said the NAO.
The NAO also highlighted a security risk.
“Organised criminals and others are likely to be quick to exploit any perceived weaknesses or gaps in the enforcement regime,” said the report.
The biggest challenge relates to the movement of goods, said the report.

Case ini terbuat dari silicone yang mampu melindungi Apple Watch dari benturan. Lenovo, China’s largest producer of PCs, purchased IBM’s personal computer enterprise in 2005, largely to realize entry to IBM’s ThinkPad line of computers and sales drive. Apple gave away thousands of Apple IIs to high school, giving a brand new technology their first entry to personal computers.
There are dozens of corporations that make and build PCs, and in case you get all the mandatory components for a computer, you can even build a custom LAPTOP. Nevertheless, relating to Apple, only Apple designs and makes these computers.
This reduction of 3D graphics solution complexity introduced the cost of such hardware to a new low and made it accessible to cheap consumer graphics playing cards instead of being limited to the previous costly, professionally oriented area of interest designed for computer-aided design (CAD).
These mnemonics are collectively often called a computer’s meeting language Converting programs written in meeting language into one thing the computer can truly perceive (machine language) is usually achieved by a computer program referred to as an assembler.
The notion of storing each knowledge and directions in reminiscence grew to become generally known as the â€˜saved program idea’ to differentiate it from earlier strategies of instructing a computer. While the Altair 8800 was the first real private computer, it was the release of the Apple II a few years later that signaled the start of the LAPTOP as a sought-after home equipment.

When community cats — i.e., cats who live outdoors and are sometimes cared for by community members — are unable to be returned to their previous outdoor home and aren't good candidates for traditional adoption programs, they might become what we lovingly call "working cats." They're part of a group of community cats who don't live in homes as pet cats.
Working cats are healthy, independent cats who act as natural pest deterrents in businesses and other properties. They go by many names, including:
- Barn cats
- Farm cats
- Bodega cats
- Ship cats
- Warehouse cats
- Brewery cats
Here's an example of working cats in an auto shop:
While some working cats are friendly with people, many are not entirely comfortable with human interaction, though they can be happy living in close proximity to people.
Caring for working cats is easy. After a proper acclimation period, you simply let them roam in their space and give them food and water.

Income inequality in the United States has grown over the past 30 years by almost every metric. Today, the average income of the wealthiest 10 percent of Americans is almost nine times as much as that of the bottom 90 percent. K–12 education has long been touted as a great equalizer, although the reality of this charge is far more complex than the philosophy behind it.
However, with inequality growing exponentially, now is a crucial time for superintendents and educators to focus on improving equity in our schools. Elementary and secondary education can still be an equalizing force in the digital era, and with new strategies that innovate homework and strengthen relations with larger communities, shareholders have markedly improved equity in their districts. Not only do these strategies help children succeed in school, but they are important for American society to succeed as a whole.
At the AASA The School Superintendents Association National Conference on Education on March 2 to 4, 2017, in New Orleans, experts from around the nation will share information relating to how they championed equity in their schools, districts and wider communities. Two thought-leader sessions at the conference will discuss some of the most significant and innovative strategies for achieving equity in K–12 education.
Roughly 5 million of the 29 million American households with school-age children don’t have broadband internet access, according to Federal Communications Commission chief Jessica Rosenworcel, and about 70 percent of teachers today assign homework that requires the web. This is a massive gap, and the figures illustrate how lower-income students could be left behind.
At the AASA National Conference on Education session “Innovative Strategies to Close the Homework Gap,” three superintendents from around the country—Darryl Adams (Coachella Valley, California), Devin Vodicka (Vista, California) and Pam Moran (Albemarle County, Virginia)—will reveal how they have worked to improve internet access and digital equity in their districts and communities. The discussion will be moderated by Keith Krueger, chief executive of the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN), a large nonprofit aimed at helping educational leaders leverage technology to foment engaging learning environments.
Krueger and CoSN strongly believe community support is necessary to achieve digital equity, which is sometimes also called digital inclusion. “While digital equity is not easy to address, it can be solved by working with local and business leaders, as well as the community at large,” Krueger wrote in a post this year for AASA that outlined some specific steps districts can take, including convincing mayors to commit to bringing broadband internet to an entire community and taking advantage of internet-access initiatives launched by telecommunications giants like Google.
Policymakers are quickly learning that digital equity cannot be achieved by school districts alone. Support from parents and community members in general is necessary in elementary and secondary education, especially when it comes to improving internet access for all of a district’s students.
At the AASA National Conference on Education “Community Schools: Cultivating Opportunity, Equity and Agency” session, several superintendents will discuss how they engaged their communities, forming partnerships with many different fields. Panelists will talk about their approaches and the results they now see within their districts, families and communities since embracing a strategy that strengthened the connection between the community and the school district.
Together, they are transforming student trajectories, closing opportunity gaps and getting more graduates across the finish line, graduates who are now more prepared for college and careers. Not only are they seeing statistical results, these superintendents are seeding hope and opportunity, increasing equity and building agency in families.
The session’s three superintendent thought leaders—Steven Webb (Vancouver, Washington), Teresa Weatherall Neal (Austin, Texas) and Paul Cruz (Grand Rapids, Michigan)—represent a trio of cities that range in size and demographic makeup. Attendees will leave with actionable takeaways they can implement in their own districts, no matter the size.

An old friend from LA emailed and when I wrote her back, I told her I loved her photos of her city -- burnt and hot-looking on her Instagram account, offering a glimpse of a place I've never visited but have always secretly loved. Los Angeles, or the vision of it I have in my head, is my single instance of coastal regret. Why am I in New York, I sometimes wonder? But here is where I settled. The settling happens, whether it’s into bones or cities or routines, and I always knew New York would be good, it would be how everyone said, and even better, and then some. But there are losses, sacrifices I forgot would revisit when I least expected them.
Last fall, a lovely 23-year-old I worked with jumped ship; a cross-country move, a dream job. I told her then how jealous I was, and I had never been more serious, and it was a thick jealousy, a mournful one. For a while I struggled with the reasons behind my reaction. I moved to New York after college, lured by a communications job for a respected news organization. I spent six years at that job, loving things, but far from settlement. I read books on LA, on how to become a writer, on how to write for TV, on how to work in entertainment. My Amazon bill for those books was more than I could afford and I remember thinking they felt dated even then, in the early '00s, and they felt less than useful. But I read them, and wrote occasional poems, and when I thought ahead I knew I wanted to be a writer, but it was a vague notion, and besides, wasn’t what I was doing already just a type of writing?
It was. One day, years ago, on a train ride from DC to NY, a man next to me, leaking nerves, told me his life story. He waved around photos of the long-lost child he was about to go meet. He asked me what I did, and I said, I’m a writer, and he said he’d never met an actual writer before, and so I felt like a liar.
Today I am 33 and a writer, and it’s definitive, and I adore all of it – my day writing job, coming home to my writer love in the evenings and cooking dinner together and then retreating to our shared office, where I write more, this time for me, this time for ghosts I’m legally unable to name, this time for what I hope is my future life. And the city speaks to me in fits and starts and that’s okay because it’s mine, and if that means I can’t live on a deserted beach, then that means the beach is there for vacations.
But then a twenty-something told me she was leaving New York for LA to write, and I wanted to throw up, because even though I love my life and I’ve chosen this and it thrills me, my making the choices I’ve made means, necessarily, that I’ve opted out of other lives.
The problem is, there are so many lives I’ve always wanted. But I have this one, and it’s not even a “but,” it’s my own type of fantasy, one I never even thought I’d be brave enough for, because I made it here in New York. But it means I didn’t make it in LA, or London, where I was so close, so many times. I chose this place, which means I couldn’t choose any other.
In a few months I'm getting married, and that too is a choice that relegates some other choices unnecessary. I treasured my single life. I miss aspects of it -- the things I could have hung on the walls, the throw pillows, the night cheese. And marriage is a type of settling, too, an acknowledgement that one more life is closed to me, a burst of magic rendered obsolete. A circus with no more seats.
Both youth and naps are wasted on the young. My bones feel their age now but sometimes I am still the youngest person in the room and therefore the one with the most opportunity to dream and when I dream I dream of flight, escape, but the secure kind, which doesn’t make much sense.
When I told my fiance all those months ago about my coworker, the one leaving, the one I could have been but can no longer be, he told me with wide, serious eyes, Babe, we can move to LA. You can work in TV if you want!
And maybe we will. Even if we don't, though, I like having the option.

The long-term outlook for nursing jobs is bright in the United States, as projections show that if you have a nursing degree, you will be in high demand for at least the next ten years, says Bill Pedrey, who is a nurse recruiter in Tampa \ Clearwater Area with over 40 years of experience.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be more than half a million jobs for nurses between the years of 2012 and 2022. During this period, the workforce of Registered Nurses (RNs) is projected to have growth from 2.7 million nurses to 3.2 million. This is an increase of 526,800 new jobs. Also, to replace the nurses who are working now, but will be leaving the field due to retirement and other reasons, total another 525,000, so a total of over a million new nursing jobs are coming available in the next 8 to 10 years.
Nursing has always been a very marketable degree according to a Nursing College Dean, as she said that she has seen several cycles of shortages as well as an oversupply of nurses and, those who are committed to the profession and are willing to learn will always have a place in the nursing field.
All of this is good news for nursing students now in school and those who are contemplating beginning their education in this area. It should be realized, however, that just because you come out of nursing school with a degree, does not always mean that you will immediately jump into a high paying nursing job. Different parts of the country have different supply and demand issues, just as different regions have different economic conditions.
New graduates still have to take part in competitive job interviews and be deemed competent to work in the field. Different areas will have varying selection processes and availability of employment, so graduates will still have to be selective as to where they would like to locate.
There is one rule that is good to know, and be able to follow, and that is that the more education you have, the more likely you are to get hired. Students with Bachelor degrees in Nursing (BSN) and higher degrees have especially good chances of landing good jobs. In 2012, nearly 60 percent of BSNs had jobs before graduation which is significant when compared to 30 percent of jobs available across all professions coming out of college according to Search One, a healthcare Recruitment Firm with decades of experience recruiting medical professionals such as RN’s or Registered Nurses.
There is a definite correlation to nurses having more education about patient outcomes too. The more education that nurses have, the better the patients do under their care, so hospitals and other medical institutions are eager to hire more on that basis. And because of this statistic, more and more hospitals are requiring nurses to have their Baccalaureate degree.
So nursing is emerging as a stable, lifelong profession where both male and female nurses are in demand. The more male nurses there are, the better, as there seems to be room for all. There is also room for advancement for nurses into the Nurse Practitioner programs and the Physicians Assistant Programs.
Our population is growing as the baby boomers are retiring in droves, and many of them are getting sicker and sicker. It only stands firm and vigorous to reason that the demand for quality nursed is going to continue to rise quite a couple more years.

Jerry Glenn Willis sentenced to two life sentences
May 29, 2018
Poplarville, Mississippi-- 15th Circuit Court District Attorney Hal Kittrell announces that on May 29th, Jerry Glenn Willis, 42, of Pearl River County, Mississippi, pled guilty to the attempted murder, kidnapping, and taking away a motor vehicle of Stacey Franks as a habitual offender.
Willis was sentenced to two life sentences and five years by Circuit Court Judge Anthony Mozingo. Because Willis was sentenced as a habitual offender, these sentences will be served day for day without the possibility of parole or early release.
On November 8, 2017, Officers with the Poplarville Police Department and the Pearl River County Sheriff's department were dispatched to Highway 11 North and Spring Hill Road. When officers arrived on scene, they observed a female, Stacey Franks, with no shirt, having been severely burned all over her body. She was immediately taken to the hospital, stabilized, and transported to a burn unit in Jackson, MS.
Franks was able to relay to law enforcement that her ex-boyfriend, Jerry Glenn Willis, had been holding her hostage, poured gasoline on her and set her on fire. Stacey Franks sustained 3rd degree burns to 40 percent of her body.
Jerry Glenn Willis
Agents from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation were called in and spearheaded the investigation. Willis fled the scene, but was apprehended two days later in Monroe County, Arkansas by State police.
Hal Kittrell stated, "The victim is still recovering from this heinous crime and will require further medical treatment. She has truly been permanently injured by this man. It is because of the immediate action by law enforcement in this case that Jerry Glenn Willis will spend the rest of his life in prison. I would like to commend the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, the Poplarville Police Department, the Pearl River County Sheriff's Department, the Arkansas State Police, the Monroe County, Arkansas Sheriff's Department, the Brinkley, Arkansas Police Department, and the prosecution in this case led by Assistant District Attorney Clay Cranford, for their hard work that led this defendant to be brought to justice quickly."

Santa Clara County will provide up to $3 million to a Planned Parenthood office in San Jose to help expand its medical and reproductive care services following a unanimous vote Tuesday by the county's Board of Supervisors.
Supervisors Cindy Chavez and Susan Ellenburg introduced the funding proposal in anticipation of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte seeing an uptick in women both in the county and from other states seeking abortion services.
Chavez and Ellenburg stressed the urgent need to approve the funding following reports Monday night of a leaked initial majority opinion from the U.S. Supreme Court that would overturn 1973's landmark Roe v. Wade case, which protects the right to have an abortion.
The Supreme Court is not expected to formally issue a ruling on the fate of Roe v. Wade until this summer, but Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed Tuesday that the draft opinion, which was written by Justice Samuel Alito and which was first obtained by Politico, was legitimate.
Katherine Schott, a certified nurse midwife and Planned Parenthood Mar Monte's senior director of clinical services, said Tuesday that the health care office has cared for more than 80 out-of-state abortion patients since July 2021, including patients from Alabama, Arizona, Florida and Texas.
“We know that these numbers are only going to increase as we prepare for the overturning of Roe v. Wade,” Schott said.
Up to $2 million of the funding would support an expansion of Mar Monte's training facility and the purchase of lab equipment, according to Chavez. Up to $1 million would support virtual health services.
Chavez noted that many states have so-called 'trigger laws,' which will automatically ban abortion if Roe v. Wade is struck down, and that multiple states have recently approved sweeping bans on the procedure that do not include common exceptions for fetuses conceived via rape or incest.
“I cannot emphasize enough how important it is that we as a board, the county as an entity, ensure access to health care for women, as this basic right will be taken away from women in at least 18 states when the decision becomes final,” she said.
Ellenburg called potential state-level abortion bans an "epic humanitarian crisis" that will force those seeking abortions to travel hundreds or thousands of miles to a state that would allow the procedure.
“We have an opportunity and, in my opinion, an obligation to stand with those who are most likely to be negatively impacted by this decision - poor women of color,” Ellenburg said. “We are the safety net and the refuge of justice for those whose rights have been stripped.”
Planned Parenthood officials speaking at the meeting noted that the nonprofit also provides general health care services, and is in some cases the primary care provider for people who may not have health insurance.
The nonprofit also overwhelmingly cares for low-income residents and people of color, according to Mar Monte Vice President of Public Affairs Lauren Babb, who told the board 62 percent of the facility's patients come from families with annual incomes below $26,000 and 70 percent identify as people of color.
The funding proposal is supported by Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, state Sens. Josh Becker, D-San Mateo, and Dave Cortese, D-San Jose, Assemblyman Ash Kalra, D-San Jose, and various members of the Mountain View, Gilroy and San Jose city councils.
With the board's vote, the one-time funding allocation will be included in the county's budget for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins July 1.

A true gem of the Mamuil Experience is having exclusive access to the creek that runs through their property.

Some guests believe the lodge is too casual; others make Mamuil Malal part of their annual routine and return each year to fish the Malleo and enjoy Bertil and Dolores’ hospitality. The estancia and the Grahns are true treasures of the ranching world in Patagonia.
Not many outfitters take guests to this lodge, not because the lodge is unworthy, but because the Grahn family stays within a closed circle of friends. PRG north director, Alex Knull, has known the Grahns since he was a child. This relationship allows PRG north guests the opportunity to stay at this perfect location and feel very comfortable. Guests typically stay at Mamuil Malal for up to four nights then combine with a second estancia such as Estancia Quemquemtreu, Tres Lagos Lodge, Tres Rios Lodge or Arroyo Verde.
Mamuil Malal is a 45 minute drive from San Martin de los Andes. The lodge is located on a beautiful stretch of land that showcases the Lanin Volcano perfectly. Guests have prime access to the Malleo River and a spring creek within the property.
Mamuil Malal has private access to fifteen miles of the upper Malleo river- one of the world’s greatest trout rivers. This river is one of the most beautiful places you can ever fish and, although not a spring creek, offers spring creek-like match the hatch dry fly fishing. The water, terrain, rising fish and hatches are unbelievable. Located just ten minutes from the lodge is Tromen Lake, which offers exceptional lake fishing similar to lakes in Los Alerces National Park. Floats on the Alumine River are less than an hour away and offers unbeatable fishing with beautiful views. A spring creek also runs through the property providing a secondary stream for those who enjoy wading small spring creeks. There is a variety of fishing for every angler.
Food + Drink
The delicious home cooked meals are prepared by the house staff and consist of traditional family recipes. Breakfast is simple and satisfying. Cooked to order eggs and bacon are on the menu every morning paired with self-serve tea and coffee.

Typical dishes include delicious meats, milanesa, rich and hearty pastas and raviolis paired with various side dishes consisting of vegetables and potatoes – a perfect menu for the steak and potato lover. The food is plentiful, rich, tasty, homemade goodness. As usual, accommodations can be made to fit any food preference. Appetizers are served every day at the bar before dinner along with local wine, beer and spirits.
One moment Bertil is out herding cattle, the next he is politely greeting you to his home. Service at Mamuil Malal is more casual than traditional fishing lodges. This is not a five star accommodation, this lodge is a gaucho’s home turned into a comfortable, casual fishing lodge. The perfect guest for this lodge is one who does not wish to be waited on, but who really wants to understand and partake in an authentic estancia way of life. With some luck, you might be invited to join them on a once in a lifetime experience during your stay! Bertil is often going to the mountains to round up cattle or taking his dogs out for a hog hunt. Simply put, the family goes about their business as they would any other day, and you are there to experience it.
Staying at this lodge really is one of the most authentic estancia experiences you can get. Bertil and Dolores are part of the original family owners of this estancia. 100 years later they are striving to continue the family tradition. You will really understand a true gaucho the moment you meet Bertil – cowboy hat, revolver, bombachas de campo and ascot included. On a daily basis, Bertil is out on the estancia branding and herding cattle, while Dolores makes sure the house is in perfect condition. Polo is often played on the lawn, so don’t be surprised if you get to see a game!

Paw-some airport trip for guide dog puppies
London Stansted welcomed some very special 'paw-sengers' this week when seven guide dog puppies toured the terminal to gain experience as part of their training.
The 6–12-month-old pups, along with their handlers, successfully navigated all aspects of the busy airport, from check-in to security and boarding.
The trip was organised by volunteer puppy raisers from Guide Dogs UK, the Thomas Pocklington Trust and the airport's accessibility team.
Stephanie Putt, Stansted Airport’s Accessibility Manager, said:
“It was a pleasure to welcome Oake, Dove, Whitney, Bill, Hero, Rye and Quincey and arrange their very special visit to the airport. Their presence certainly caught the eye of many passengers travelling through the terminal. The tour allowed the puppies to become familiar with all aspects of the airport, such as security, the departure lounge, and the boarding gates. Our partnership with Guide Dogs UK will hopefully allow us to provide even better services and facilities to passengers with reduced mobility and hidden disabilities.”
Volunteer puppy raiser Lesley Rideout, who accompanied Rye for the tour, said:
“Airports have a variety of distractions, including unfamiliar noises and lots of people so visits like this are extremely worthwhile. These puppies are on their path to becoming guide dogs who will one day help blind or visually impaired passengers travel through airports like Stansted."
The visit coincided with International Guide Dog Day, which took place today, April 26, a day to honour the work that guide dogs do for people with disabilities.

A number of businesswomen in Kabul say that since the fall of the previous government, many women’s businesses have gone bankrupt and most of the women have lost their jobs.
They urged the Islamic Emirate to pay attention to solving their challenges.
Fereshta Hashemi, a business woman in Kabul, says she has been embroidering clothes for nearly six years. She claims that many women's businesses has stopped since the political change in the country.
“Our shops and factories have collapsed, women have stayed at home and there is nothing they can do," Fereshta Hashemi told TOLOnews.
Hashemi calls on the Islamic Emirate to support women in small and large businesses. “Factories should be opened, women should be given projects so that they can work side by side with their brothers,” she said.
“We ask the Islamic Emirate to provide jobs for women. Women are living in a bad situation and they need jobs,” said Mozhgan Hamidi, a businesswoman.
In the meantime, some economists emphasized the role of women in the economy's growth and development of the country and asked the Islamic Emirate to address their problems. “The Afghanistan Businesswomen's Association (ABA) is a very good institution, it must be accepted and we must establish security for it. Secondly, we must maintain such an institution and take steps to develop it,” said Sayed Massoud, an economist.
The Islamic Emirate says it is working to provide better job conditions for women. “We are trying to help women entrepreneurs. Our program is related to entrepreneurship and providing facilities is on the agenda, we hope it will be operational soon,” said Latif Nazari, deputy minister of economy.
According to the Women's Chamber of Commerce and Industries, nearly 2,500 large companies were registered in the country before the collapse of the farmer government, but many of these companies have since suspended their activities.

CYBERJAYA: Civil servants and those in government-linked companies (GLCs) involved in issuing tenders should stop the culture of “entertainment dealing” – drinking coffee or “teh tarik” with tender applicants, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Latheefa Koya said.
Latheefa said corrupt practice prevention measures like not going out for a drink with interested parties were crucial in ensuring integrity, and not merely a mantra.
She said there were officers who had a tendency to go out and meet potential tender applicants outside of office hours for a drink and to conduct deals.
‘’I don’t mean you can’t meet at all. If an officer has the authority to approve licences or tenders and others, he should not meet with certain people outside (working hours) and say it is merely for a drink,’’ she said.
She said corruption prevention measures must be intensified although the “no gift” policy had been implemented.
Earlier, Latheefa tabled a paper titled “Combating Corruption: Corporate Scandals and Its Challenges” at the Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) Integrity Day celebration here today.
In it, she said 32 of the more than 100 GLCs in the country were categorised as posing high risks of corruption.
“MACC senior officers are stationed at the 32 GLCs concerned while other officers are stationed at GLCs with low and moderate risks. They head the Integrity and Governance Units (IGU) at the GLCs,’’ she said.
In October last year, Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad had announced that it was mandatory for every GLC to set up the IGU in two years.
In his address, MCMC chairman Al-Ishsal Ishak said the organisation was expected to launch its anti-corruption plan by early next year.
‘’It will involve numerous programmes and training sessions for all staff so that the management, policies and procedures prioritise integrity,’’ he said.

A momentous term for the Supreme Court ended on Thursday with one of the most consequential rulings it has handed down this year. With its decision in West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency, the Court has affirmed the notion that it is the purview of Congress—not the federal bureaucracy—to write laws. That lesson will be bitterly resisted, which is why it is so vital.
In this case, the Court was asked to determine whether the EPA has the authority to set rules around emissions generated by coal-burning power plants that are so strict they could have no other effect than to remove coal from the nation’s electricity mix. The Court ruled that this administrative effort to render an entire sector of the economy obsolete was not supported by statute or Congressional intent. Indeed, it was contemptuous of both.
“EPA claimed to discover an unheralded power representing a transformative expansion of its regulatory authority in the vague language of a long-extant, but rarely used, statute designed as a gap filler,” read the syllabus of the decision authored by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. “That discovery allowed it to adopt a regulatory program that Congress had conspicuously declined to enact itself.”
The EPA’s expansive interpretation of its statutory jurisdiction extended well beyond what Congress had approved. Indeed, the agency’s authority appeared to have been derived from that which Congress explicitly spurned. “Nor can the Court ignore that the regulatory writ EPA newly uncovered,” Roberts added, “conveniently enabled it to enact a program, namely, cap-and-trade for carbon, that Congress had already considered and rejected numerous times.”
The EPA seems to have assumed that “Congress implicitly tasked it, and it alone, with balancing the many vital considerations of national policy implicated in the basic regulation of how Americans get their energy. There is little reason to think Congress did so.” Given the burdens these regulatory actions impose on private interests—”billions in compliance costs,” an increase in “retail electricity prices,” the inevitable “retirement of dozens of coal plants,” and the elimination of “tens of thousands of jobs”—only Congress has this authority. Moreover, those burdens and their political consequences are so weighty that there’s no reason to believe Congress would have pursued such a course.
We know what the objections to this decision will be. The agencies tasked with protecting the environment from abuses by avaricious actors in the private sector assumed this expansive authority because Congress had not acted with sufficient zeal or alacrity. “The plaintiffs want to hem in what they call the administrative state,” New York Times reporter Coral Davenport’s dispatch ahead of the Court’s decision in this case read. “That should be the role of Congress.” Correct. “But Congress has barely addressed the issue of climate change,” she continued. “Instead, for decades it has delegated authority to the agencies because it lacks the expertise possessed by the specialists who write complicated rules and regulations and who can respond quickly to changing science, particularly when Capitol Hill is gridlocked.” This is the essence of the majority opinion striking down the EPA’s power grab.
None of this justifies seizing power extra-legally. Moreover, just because the federal legislature’s lethargy has led it to cede power to the executive branch and its stable of “experts,” that does not render its “delegation” of its constitutional authority valid. Congressional inaction is a verdict in and of itself, and the federal legislature is not obliged to outsource its obligations to unelected functionaries just because it’s squeamish about doing its duty.
The word “Chevron” appears only in passing in the majority opinion (though it features prominently in Justice Elena Kagan’s dissent), but this ruling will have a sweeping effect on the power of the administrative state to do what the country’s elected representatives would not. In 1984, the “Chevron Deference” established a principle that compelled federal courts to generally defer to an executive agency’s interpretation of unclear statutory language under the assumption that those agencies are better equipped than Congress to understand the minutiae they are tasked with regulating. This ruling does, however, chip away at that principle. The cracks that are forming around the blow the Supreme Court just struck against that doctrine are likely to grow in future terms.
“When an agency claims the power to regulate vast swaths of American life, it not only risks intruding on Congress’s power, it also risks intruding on powers reserved to the States,” the majority opinion noted. For those who cannot abide sitting around and waiting for the nation’s elected legislators to act on their demands, this is a terrifying prospect. This decision could imperil any number of what they consider vital regulatory frameworks that are legally supported by a dubious interpretation of the law. They should be afraid. They’re right.

You have chosen the doll's house "The stork´s nest".
Please click for great views and the short descriptions on the respective pictures. Following the gallery you find in addition even further information.
Some information about this house:
This house probably came into being during the time of the war in England. It was built and some complete metal windows just like they have been used in the Triang Houses have been used. The house is very simple but it has got very much persoanlity. I decorated it with furniture and baby dolls out of the fourties and fifties. It was my aim to catch the atmosphere of the years of war in a household. It could be that this house has been decorated like that. In front of the doll´s house there is beautiful and old car made of metal. Some parts of the house are from the present time just for example the gramophone and the records. The house became its name after the stork´s nest contained on the chimney. This nest has been made from a very famous english miniaturist. It shows even a little stork hatching out of an egg! In the doll´s house are more than ten old baby dolls. All of them are still beautiful to loook at. The wallpaper are still in their original state. Merely the floors you have to do up, apart from that everything is in its original state. Despite the simple style of living of the time it gives you a sense of warmth and cosiness. The kitchen furniture are old german dolls´ house furniture. A really delicate piece of furniture is the book shelve in the study room.

The Australian dollar has lost ground on Thursday, erasing the gains from the Wednesday session. The pair is trading at 0.7440 in the North American session. On the release front, there are no Australian events on the schedule. However, the Aussie did lose ground following the Chinese CPI report. The indicator posted a gain of 2.0%, short of expectations. In the US, Unemployment Claims dipped to 264 thousand, beating expectations. On Friday, the US will release UoM Consumer Sentiment, with the indicator expected to dip to 94.1 points.
Last week’s Nonfarm Payrolls of just 38,000 new jobs shocked the markets and sent the US dollar tumbling. A couple of minor employment indicators were soft, leading to some concern about the strength of the US labor market. However, these concerns should be laid to rest after key job numbers this week were solid and beat expectations. On Wednesday, JOLTS Job Openings improved to 5.79 million, easily beating the forecast of 5.67 million. Unemployment Claims followed suit with a strong reading. The indicator dropped to 264 thousand, compared to an estimate of 269 thousand. Significantly, this marked the lowest jobless report in six weeks. With the Federal Reserve mulling over a rate hike in the next few months, employment numbers will be especially significant, and any unexpected reading could result in volatility in the currency markets.
The Australian dollar is sensitive to key Chinese data, as the Asian giant is Australia’s number one trading partner. Chinese CPI was unexpectedly weak in the year-to-year release for May, posting a gain of 2.0%. This was shy of the estimate of 2.3%. Chinese demand appears to have picked up in the second quarter, so the markets are hopeful that this weak inflation number is reflective of the drop in Chinese demand in Q1, which had significant negative repercussions for the global economy.
The Australian dollar posted sharp gains late last week, following a dismal US Nonfarm Payrolls report. The rally has continued this week, as the Aussie gained ground following the RBA rate announcement on Tuesday. As expected, the RBA maintained the benchmark rate at 1.75%. However, the rate statement was more hawkish than expected. In the May statement, the RBA said that inflation rates were lower than forecast, and proceeded to give broad hints about lowering rates. The June statement said that that the RBA expects inflation to remain at low levels. This change in tone gave a boost to the Australian dollar, which as climbed about 260 points since the end of May. Does this mean that the central bank will not lower rates in August? Any decision to maintain or lower rates will likely depend on key data, notably inflation and employment numbers. An unexpectedly strong GDP for the first quarter has given the RBA some breathing room, and further strong numbers could delay a rate cut.

Lauren Saidel-Baker is an experienced speaker and economist. Her experience in finance supports her commanding grasp of ITR Economics' programs and subscriptions and their practical applications.
“It’s different this time.”
We’ve all heard that before. There is a human tendency to believe that we are living through novel times and that the old rules no longer apply. Very rarely is this true. But, with that disclaimer out of the way, I would posit that this time really is different.
The Great Recession of 2008, as with most major business cycles, was triggered by underlying economic factors. The recession of 2020, in contrast, can be quantified as a natural disaster rather than the result of a regular, fundamentals-driven business cycle. The current economic contraction was triggered by a global pandemic, not by economic imbalances that demanded a correction. Recent economic data corroborates the fact that this case really is different.
Consumer finances have not exhibited the same negative trends this cycle as in past recessions. Thanks in part to government stimulus efforts, Disposable Personal Income (DPI) has been elevated since the onset of the pandemic. Programs such as the one-time $1,200 stimulus payments and the additional $600 per week in unemployment payments lifted DPI throughout the summer months. Yet DPI through October, after the expiration of those programs, remains above the pre-pandemic level. Also of note, consumers did not spend much of this additional income, as lockdown measures largely prevented travel and in-person shopping and dining. As a result, savings are also elevated, resulting in a historically high level of dry powder available to feed pent-up demand and fuel the recovery.

Employment trends further illustrate the irregular nature of this recession. Although the US Unemployment Rate reached a record 14.4% in April, it has since declined, falling to just 6.4% in November. The Unemployment Rate is declining significantly faster than in most historical recessions as unemployed workers are reabsorbed into the labor force at an abnormally accelerated pace.
The business response to the 2020 recession also diverges from historical examples. To date, the level of business bankruptcies has not materially increased and remains well below the 10-year average.
Measured in thousands of bankruptcy filings. Source: American Bankruptcy Institute
Yet even more important are the lasting changes to business practices wrought by the pandemic. Throughout this experience, businesses have evolved and adapted in unusual ways. Certain preexisting trends – such as the adoption of work-from-home policies and the growing acceptance of virtual, rather than in-person, meetings – have accelerated. Such changes have tended to come with greater efficiency, cost savings, or both. For example, the “new normal” of virtual meetings may not only result in saved travel costs, but also enable an employee to meet with multiple customers in a day, when in the past that employee may have needed multiple days of travel for a single customer meeting. Many of these new practices will not (and should not) go away following the widespread distribution of a vaccine, and they would not be the natural outcome of a recession borne of a normal, fundamentals-driven business cycle. Those recessions usually only result in changes to corporate governance requirements or banking regulations.
Overall, the recession of 2020 was not a typical recession, and the recovery will not mirror historical precedents either. For businesses, a great starting point would be to consider the last major business cycle and the lessons learned. What do you wish you had done during the onset of the recovery in 2009? But go further. Consider those lessons through the unique lens of 2020. As always, if we at ITR can help focus this discussion, please reach out!

Jupiter’s Kathryn Langridge is backing specialist financial companies in her £23m Global Emerging Markets fund as she seeks to take advantage of market falls triggered by speculation about US monetary policy.
The manager – who launched the fund three years ago this week – has most recently invested in unsecured loan specialist International Public Finance (IPF) following a visit to the company’s base in Mexico.
The company – which is listed in London and so not a part of the Global Emerging Markets fund’s benchmark – has seen its share price gain 74.6 per cent so far this year in spite of the volatility experienced by many emerging markets.
While Ms Langridge said IPF had a “high degree of risk” implied by its area of specialism – making unsecured loans direct to small businesses in Mexico and eastern Europe –she argued that the company had “the ability to scale up” and had built up detailed knowledge of its customer base. “IPF is lending to people who have no other ability to get credit but who are running real businesses,” Ms Langridge said.
“It has spent 10 years building up a detailed understanding of customer behaviour and so it has an incredibly detailed knowledge of who to lend to.”
Elsewhere in the portfolio, the manager highlighted Indian loan provider Housing Development Finance, Peruvian financial services company Credicorp and Mexican bank Banorte as examples of niche or specialist operators in the financial sector.
Since the Global Emerging Markets fund’s launch three years ago, Ms Langridge said she had been investing less in the major emerging economies.
In particular, the manager said Brazilian stocks now accounted for roughly 6 per cent of the portfolio, compared with roughly 18 per cent at launch.
“Companies [in Brazil] are not producing the earnings they should and sectors are not growing in the right way,” she said.
“The macroeconomic environment is also structurally challenged.”
In India, which made up 7.5 per cent of the portfolio according to the fund’s August 31 factsheet, Ms Langridge said that the country’s economy had suffered from “extremely poor crisis management” as well as a weakening currency.
Jupiter launched the Global Emerging Markets fund in November 2010 following Ms Langridge’s hire from Lloyd George Asset Management four months earlier.
Since launch to October 18, the fund gained 0.5 per cent according to FE Analytics.
Although this has underperformed the fund’s MSCI Emerging Markets index benchmark, the fund outperformed the IMA Global Emerging Markets sector’s average loss of 2.2 per cent.
Uncertainty over stimulus leaves emerging markets in the lurch
Stockmarkets in emerging economies have fallen in recent months as investors have reacted to the potential reduction in the US’s economic stimulus programme.
Quantitative easing (QE), or ‘money printing’, has resulted in tens of billions of dollars flooding into emerging markets.
But while this was positive for some markets, in others it may well have created bubbles as asset prices become overinflated.

ACL stands for anterior cruciate ligament and is located in the knee. An ACL injury is when this ligament becomes damaged or torn due to an accident or injury that involved sudden starts, stops, and impacts to the knee. There are several treatment options for an injured ACL including non-surgical and surgical options.
We recommend reading this [link word “ this” to: http://uscenterforsportsmedicine.com/seven-self-administering-tests-to-know-if-youve-torn-your-acl/] article from the U.S. Center for Sports Medicine, or calling our office to speak to ask a Sports Medicine professional about your potential injury.
The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is a broad, thick band that runs down the inner part of the knee, from the femur (thighbone) to about four to six inches from the top of the tibia (shinbone).The MCL’s primary function is to prevent the leg from over-extending inward, but it also is part of the mechanism that stabilizes the knee and allows it to rotate.
Making the choice to pursue a total knee replacement is a big decision made by you, your family, and your physician. The physician may decide a total knee replacement is the right course of treatment for you after other non-surgical treatment options have failed and believes your pain, disability, and quality of life qualify you.
We accept most major insurance plans and worker’s compensation. This includes Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, Cigna, United Healthcare and Medicare.
