We pack in many trade shows (LA, NY, DALLAS, SAN FRANCISCO, ATLANTA) within the first two months of the year, that January and February are just a blur! We came back to the Atlanta Gift Show at the AmericasMart after an 8 year hiatus and it was such a treat (plus we get to sleep in our own beds..lol). We had such a successful show that we can't wait to come back and do it again in July!
At the Atlanta Gift Show

The economic growth of a nation does not happen in isolation but is dependent on various factors to act as catalysts to growth. One of those factors according to the Intelligenteconomist.com is said to be physical capital or infrastructure. Physical capital such as roads, factories and machinery are key components of an economy and can boost the growth of the economy.
This is because an investment in these areas translates to a lower cost of economic activity which will then trickle down to a better life for the citizens.
The World Bank estimates that every one per cent of government funds spent on infrastructure leads to an equivalent one per cent increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which invariably means that there is a correlation between any meaningful inputs in infrastructure development which reflects on economic growth indices, hence the value of infrastructure cannot be underplayed.
The Nigerian government in recognition of this, established the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) under the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (establishment, etc) Act, 2005. The ICRC was established to regulate Public Private Partnership (PPP) endeavours of the Federal Government aimed at addressing Nigeria’s physical infrastructure deficit which hampers economic development.
PPP Operations in Lagos
In Lagos State, the Public Private Partnership (PPP) legal framework was established in 2011 to boost investor-confidence in the availability, suitability, and security of the investment opportunities in Lagos.
The Office of Public-Private-Partnerships (OPPP) in Lagos has risen to this challenge and has tackled major infrastructural projects in the state. With the support of the Lagos State Government, led by Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the PPP projects have touched on major developmental indices in the state.
Health: In recognition of the global challenges the world is currently facing in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Lagos State Government, through the PPP office has embarked on a collaborative initiative with relevant stakeholders and the Lagos State Ministry of Health to develop a sustainable Smart Health Information Platform (SHIP) to connect the entire health ecosystem in Lagos State.
This will enable connectivity and strengthening of the healthcare system and governance in the state to deliver better, faster, and smarter healthcare services. This project aims to enable a swift and efficient healthcare delivery system and ensure widespread access to healthcare, to measure and monitor all health cases in the State. The state is currently in the process of receiving responses from interested proponents.
The state also recently commissioned the Maternal and Child Centre in the Eti-Osa local government area as part of its efforts to ensure the provision of accessible, affordable, and quality healthcare to Lagosians. The 110-bed facility is fully equipped with X-ray machines, ultrasound machines, Laboratory, Radiology and Pharmaceutical Services through a PPP arrangement structured by the OPPP. It also has a neonatal unit for premature babies, labor ward with delivery rooms, emergency clinic, a theatre for Cesarean sections in complicated deliveries and much more.
The facility has received over 50,000 visitors since inception with more than 20,000 residents accessing its services. From 2008 till date, the State Government has built 8 Maternal Child Centres across the State in Isolo, Ikorodu, Ifako-Ijaye, Amuwo-Odofin, Gbaja (Surulere), Ajeromi and Alimosho. The Eti-Osa facility brings the number up to eight.
With the approval of the state governor, the OPPP has also put out an Expression of Interest for the development of a medical park. This is the development of a state-of-the-art medical village staffed with respected professionals within the health-care industry that will have all medical facilities and infrastructure available within the same location and eliminate the need for movement from one location to another.
Infrastructure: The OPPP has also been involved with major infrastructural developments in Lagos like the Blue Line and the Red Line rail projects but the most ambitious project so far has been the 4th mainland bridge. The fourth mainland bridge is billed to be the longest bridge in West Africa when completed. It is a greenfield tolled road and a 38 km bridge which will extend from the Abraham Adesanya axis in Ajah to transverse the northeast towards the lagoon shoreline of Lagos-Ibadan express via Owutu/Isawo in Ikorodu. The aim of the bridge is to relieve the severe congestion often experienced on the 3rd mainland bridge while at the same time, opening new areas of development.
The project includes the development of adjacent real estates within the proposed routes of the bridge. This is a project that seemed to have defied previous administrations but now, with the leadership of the Director-General of the Lagos PPP office, Mr. Ope George, there has been tangible movement on the project. Potential proponents to carry out the project have been shortlisted and the State is currently evaluating each proponent for eligibility for the next stage which is the selection/bidding process.
Connectivity: The Lagos State House of Assembly recently approved Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s request for a Unified Fibre Infrastructure and Connectivity Project under the state’s Public Private Partnerships Law. This may not have been unconnected to the fact that the Coronavirus demonstrated that Nigeria was yet to fully embrace the use of the internet and remote working and this was due in part to lack of infrastructure. The project, according to the Chairman of the House Committee on Public Private Partnership (PPP), Hon. Lukmon Olumoh (Ajeromi/Ifelodun 1) would involve the deployment of unified fibre duct infrastructure for carrying telecommunications cables and other wired infrastructure to support operators of telecommunications and other relevant utilities, as well as provide infra and connectivity requirements for Lagos State.
Education: The Lagos State University was established in 1983 as a multi-campus institution but for 36 years, the school had functioned without residential hostels. All that changed last year when the Lagos state government under the state Public Private Partnership (PPP) policy signed a Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) deal with six private property developers to develop a 6,016 bed ultra-modern hostel on the LASU, Ojo campus. The hostel will consist of 16 blocks with 94 rooms per block and ground-breaking for construction commencement is scheduled for next month.
Housing: The Office of Public-Private-Partnerships (OPPP) Lagos is also participating in the housing sector with projects like the Ilubirin Foreshore Estate Projects to ease the challenges of accommodation faced by Lagosians. The Ilubirin Estate Project is a development of residential and mixed-use real estate on approximately 28.6 hectares of land at the Ilubirin Foreshore Area of Ikoyi. This public housing, commercial and leisure project sitting on reclaimed land on the bank of the 3rd mainland bridge was visualized to address the housing deficit in Lagos and ensure that more Lagos residents become homeowners of houses built to global and international standards.
Another PPP project to boost infrastructural development and tackle the housing deficit is the development of 1,000 hectares in the North-West quadrant of the Lekki Free Zone into an industrial and logistics focused mixed-use hub called Alaro City. Alaro City will be home to businesses of all sizes and people of all incomes. It is directly on the Lekki-Epe Expressway and adjacent to the new Lagos International Airport and West-Africa’s largest deep seaport. This project has been lauded as an economic miracle because it is estimated that upon completion, it will have created over 200,000 jobs.
Alaro City is surrounded by major Nigerian and International companies along that axis and the city is billed to be not just another city in Nigeria but a gateway to Nigeria and Africa.
A look around the country at some of the projects executed under the Public Private Partnership model shows that these projects are enjoying a high level of success. Projects like the Murtala Muhammed Airport 2 (popularly called MM2) between Bi-Courtney Limited and the Federal Government and the delivery of 3.4bcf of Gas by 2020 between NNPC and Seplat Petroleum Development Company Limited are just examples of a few of these projects.
There is therefore no gainsaying the fact that Nigeria has benefitted immensely from the Public Private Partnership model and Lagos state has set an example for other states to follow by being in the forefront of boosting its economic and infrastructural development through the PPP model.

Bob Isherwood: ‘Undertaker’ Helps Businesses Close Down
CARROLLTON, Texas (AP) _ Today’s business executives are trained to handle most situations, but there’s one undertaking that leaves them cold - closing down a company.
That’s when they call in Bob Isherwood.
Isherwood, 46, is sort of a corporate undertaker.
As president of The Directorate Inc., he and his staff provide assistance to $1 billion companies that are ending operations or abolishing entire divisions.
Although his work takes Isherwood and his staff around the world, they specialize in the U.S. semiconductor industry, which has been troubled recently by competition from abroad.
″I guess I’m too much of a flag-waving American to gloat on it, but it pays the rent here,″ Isherwood said in an interview at his office in this Dallas suburb.
For the record, Isherwood describes himself as a manufacturing expert who has worked in electronics recently. In the last 30 days, his firm has traveled to Italy, France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Korea and China, among other places.
″He sleeps more on airplanes than in beds,″ said Madelyn Miller, a public relations spokeswoman for the firm.
Isherwood got into the corporate undertaking business in November 1985. He came here with United Technologies Corp. and was later given the responsibility of closing down the company’s Mostek semiconductor division. The shutdown turned into a sale to Thomson Components of France, and Isherwood said he had the option of continuing with either company.
″I really just wanted to operate a business and have none of that corporate folderol,″ said Isherwood, who brought 25 years of management experience in techonology-intensive companies into his new endeavor.
During the past 18 months he and his associates have helped close divisions of five major corporations and are now working with five others, he said.
″We’ve consulted a lot but have not been totally responsible for any closings,″ said Isherwood, a Navy submarine veteran who studied at Florida State and has a graduate degree in management from the Hartford Graduate Center in Connecticut.
What The Directorate does is to advise clients on the best time from a financial standpoint to close down an operation. They know the delicacies involved in letting people go and make suggestions on incentives for top management personnel.
″The key managers have to be reoriented,″ said Isherwood, who before joining UTC rose through the ranks of Sybron Corp. after stints with Electroglas Inc., LTV Corp. and Honeywell.
While Isherwood has hired a Dallas public relations outfit to handle inquiries about his business, he claims his jobs are often so confidential he can’t talk much about them.
His evaluations require a high degree of secrecy because they are usually made for a company’s board of directors prior to the decision to close down, said spokeswoman Miller.
There are other intricacies involved, such as notifying employees, their families, state and local officials involved. Area financial institutions must be notified to help avoid problems such as refusal to accept checks and foreclosures on homes.
Inevitably, there are legal ramifications.
″Forewarned is forearmed,″ Isherwood said. ″For any factory you have thousands of contracts that have to be negotiated.″
These may range from rents to deals involving industrial revenue bonds, he said.
All steps involving the closing of a factory are difficult for executives who are not used to it, Isherwood said.
″We work in the background a good bit. We also do asset management,″ he said.
The Directorate has a staff of about 35, including experts in finance and marketing, a lawyer and specialists in materials and equipment and factory supervision.
In addition, there is a support staff involved in equipment sales and a 60,000-square-foot showroom.
″That’s an offshoot of the main business, but sometimes it’s larger,″ Isherwood said.
″We’re probably the largest seller of pre-owned semiconductor equipment in the country,″ he said.
Isherwood said the company now has an inventory of $40 million worth of devices such as ion implanters, lasers and plasma etchers used in the semiconductor industry.
″Originally, it was worth 10 times that much,″ said Isherwood.
In addition, he said, The Directorate is now handling the sale of three factories, each worth about $60 million.
According to Isherwood, there is a common misconception about semiconductor manufacturing equipment, a belief that it is so state-of-the-art that it is obsolete as soon as new technology produces a smaller, more refined electronic microchip.
″It’s simply not true,″ he said.
Equipment that is no longer practical for making a computer chip, for example, may be used in a watch chip, or in a telephone circuit, he said. The equipment can be handed down from one level to the next.
″What’s no longer state-of-the-art at one level then becomes state-of-the- ar t at the next,″ Isherwood said.

Our analysis is based on comparing Shanghai Prime Machinery Co., Ltd. Class H with the following peers – Single Point Parts (Thailand) Public Co., Ltd., I.S.T. Ltd., Kuroda Precision Industries Ltd., Dongfang Electric Corporation Limited Class H, Shanghai Electric Group Co., Ltd. Class H and Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Class H (SPPT-TH, 508807-IN, 7726-JP, 1072-HK, 2727-HK and 2208-HK).
Shanghai Prime Machinery Co., Ltd. Class H’s price of HKD 1.58 is greater than CapitalCube’s implied price of HKD 0.94. At this level, CapitalCube believes that Shanghai Prime Machinery Co., Ltd. Class H is overvalued. Over the last 52 week period, the stock has fluctuated between HKD 1.04 and HKD 1.74.
- Relative underperformance over the last year is in contrast with the more recent outperformance.
- Shanghai Prime Machinery Co., Ltd. Class H trades at a lower Price/Book multiple (0.29) than its peer median (0.41).
- The market expects faster earnings growth from 2345-HK than from its peers and also a turnaround in its current ROE.
- 2345-HK has relatively low profit margins and median asset efficiency.
- Compared with its chosen peers, the company’s annual revenues and earnings change at a slower rate, implying a lack of strategic focus and/or lack of execution success.
- Over the last five years, 2345-HK‘s return on assets has declined from about median to less than the median among its peers suggesting that the company’s historical competitiveness in operations is slipping away.
- The company’s median gross margin and relatively low pre-tax margin suggest high operating costs versus peers.
- Compared with the peers chosen, 2345-HK has had faster revenue growth in prior years and a current PE ratio that suggests faster growth in the future suggesting superior growth expectations.
- The company seems to be over-investing in a business with median returns.
- 2345-HK seems too levered to raise additional debt.
Shanghai Prime Machinery Co., Ltd. Class H has a fundamental score of 31 and has a relative valuation of OVERVALUED.
Shanghai Prime Machinery Co., Ltd. Class H is on the bottom right quadrant of CapitalCube’s Value – Price Matrix. We therefore classify Shanghai Prime Machinery Co., Ltd. Class H as ‘Speculative’. In other words, not only is Shanghai Prime Machinery Co., Ltd. Class H’s Fundamental Analysis Score low at 31, but it is also potentially overvalued, in that it trades at a price higher than its CapitalCube Implied Price of 0.94.
Drivers of Valuation
2345-HK has a Turnaround profile relative to its peers.
The market expects 2345-HK to grow faster than the median of its chosen peers (PE of 16.69 compared to peer median of 4.43) and to improve its current ROE of 1.74% which is below its peer median of 5.77%. Thus, the market seems to expect a turnaround in 2345-HK‘s current performance.
The company trades at a lower Price/Book multiple of 0.29 compared to its peer median of 0.41.
2345-HK has moved to a Turnaround from a median ROE and PE profile at the prior year-end.

Each morning between now and 6 May we’ll mark your card and highlight the main events of the coming day’s campaigning, party by party and across the media.
Gordon Brown kicked off his morning on Radio 4’s Today programme — a typically combative exchange with John Humphrys in the 8.10 slot. Brown is expected to spend the day defending the intended rise in National Insurance contributions. He will host a London press conference with the Chancellor, Alistair Darling, and the Business Secretary, Peter Mandelson, focusing on the economy. Elsewhere, the sitting MP for the marginal Birmingham Edgbaston constituency, Gisela Stuart, takes part in a Question Time-style public debate on the environment with fellow general election candidates — the Conservative Party’s Deirdre Alden, the Liberal Democrat Roger Harmer and, for the Green Party, Phil Simpson.
David Cameron hosts his party’s launch London press conference at 10.30 this morning. The Millbank Tower “presser” is likely to see him reveal plans for a voluntary “national citizen service”. He then stops off at an academy school in London before heading to Norwich (3.15pm) and Plymouth (7pm) for a community meeting. Meanwhile, Samantha Cameron will be campaigning in Leeds (10am) and Brigg and Goole (2.30pm). By the way, it now looks likely that the Conservatives will unveil their manifesto on Tuesday 13 April.
Nick Clegg teams up this morning with the party’s former leader Charles Kennedy and the current head of the Scottish Lib Dems, Tavish Scott MSP, to launch the Lib Dem campaign for Scotland. All three will be on the Pacific Quay in Glasgow (9.30am). From there, Clegg goes ahead of the Tories to the marginal seat of Eastleigh (notional majority of 534), where he will hold a joint event with the Lib Dem candidate and home affairs spokesman, Chris Huhne (1pm). Finishes his afternoon in Bristol (3.20pm).
Plaid Cymru officially launches its election campaign on Anglesey today. The Plaid leader, Ieuan Wyn Jones, will then visit Plaid candidates from across the north of Wales in a tour of constituencies.
While Brown kicked off the day on the Today programme, David Cameron was on the GMTV sofa. Later today, ITV’s Tonight programme (7.30pm) investigates the prospects of a hung parliament and reveals which seats could prove decisive to the final result on 6 May.

When the Canadian public embraced 38,000 'freedom fighters' fleeing the bloody aftermath of the Hungarian revolution, it marked a shift in government policy that would open the doors for other refugees fleeing violence and oppression.
On a cool September afternoon, Andrew Telegdi is coasting down Vancouver's Granville Street toward the mountains and ocean. The car passes office workers and shoppers from around the globe -- familiar sights in a shiny metropolis that has become a magnet for immigrants.
Almost 50 years ago, Telegdi found himself in a taxi that followed a similar route, but under very different circumstances. At the time, he and his family were refugees from Soviet-occupied Hungary, heading for an immigration facility near the train tracks at the ocean's edge. During that ride, the family's matriarch wondered out loud whether they should have come to Vancouver.
"It was one of the few times my mother really asked, 'Did we make the right decision?'" recalls Telegdi, who has served as Liberal MP for Kitchener-Waterloo since 1993. Telegdi, now 60, has a greying moustache and is wearing the casual slacks and collared shirts of a parliamentary backbencher. On a recent trip to retrace his family's arrival in Canada, he vividly remembers their voyage which, over time, has become part of family folklore and the larger story of the Hungarian Diaspora.
At 10 years old, Telegdi fled the 1956 Hungarian Revolution with his parents, older brother and younger sister. At the time, his mother's questions about right and wrong were cast under a shadow of Cold War politics: Was it right to leave your home when Soviet tanks rolled into your city? Was it wrong to build a new life in Canada when Hungary might one day be safe?
In June 1957, seven months after a popular uprising was crushed in Budapest and five months after the Telegdi family marched across the Austrian border on foot, their future was uncertain.
When they arrived at the immigration facility, the family was split: women on one side, men on the other. They spent two nights in the dark, stone building that was previously "an immigration jail" for suspected criminal immigrants. The government then arranged for them to stay with a host family in the city's northern suburbs, where houses pushed up against the old-growth forests of the North Shore mountains.
But the dangers of this new western world soon presented themselves to the Hungarians. A story floated around the immigration centre that a mountain lion had been spotted in a North Shore neighbourhood. "We've escaped the communists but now we're going to turn into cat food!" Telegdi says, repeating an old family joke.
In 1956 and 1957, approximately 38,000 Hungarian refugees were welcomed to Canada. "The 56ers," as they came to be known, brought with them memories of a bloody revolution. They had fled an oppressive communist regime in eastern Europe at the height of the Cold War. Canadians embraced these "freedom fighters" with a warmth usually only extended to close family.
As much as it marked a fresh start for thousands of Hungarians who settled in cities and towns across this country, it also marked the birth of a new Canadian identity rooted in global benevolence that forever changed the country's refugee policy.
Ask any 56er to describe life in 1950s Hungary and their eyes go wide, their voices become indignant. After the Second World War, the Soviet Union occupied the landlocked country and installed a tyrannical police state that received its directions from the Kremlin. The secret police, the AVH, were widely feared and even children were suspect under the Stalinist regime.
Telegdi still remembers a Grade 2 teacher who once discussed Easter in his Budapest classroom: "The next day, men in suits, hats and ties came into the school, and interviewed the second-graders about what they had learned," he says. Soon afterward, the teacher disappeared.
"You had to say that something was green, when really it was red. Sometimes it was as simple as that," remembers Zale Tanner, a 71-year-old retired architect from Budapest who later settled in Vancouver.
After Stalin's death in 1953, discontent reverberated through the Soviet satellite states. On Oct. 23, 1956, Hungarian students marched brazenly through downtown Budapest in solidarity with striking Polish workers. The students had drafted a list of 16 now-famous demands they wanted broadcast on state radio. At the top of their list: Soviets out of Hungary and free elections.
"We wanted basic freedoms," Tanner says.
What started as a student protest sparked a revolution. Thousands joined the students in a sweeping, collective show of outrage at the government. The protesters held nothing back: they beheaded a statue of Stalin and trampled on his concrete skull. Angry demonstrators cut the hammers and sickles from their flags, leaving holes in the middle of their national stripes. And when the secret police fired on protesters, they picked up arms themselves.
The street battles that ordinary Hungarians waged against Soviet forces have become the stuff of national legend: sweet-faced teenagers and women in fashionable fall coats picked up rifles and joined rebel militias; youngsters lobbed Molotov cocktails at Soviet tanks; crowds gathered in squares across the country as AVH members and suspected collaborators were publicly executed.
The Hungarians' struggle immediately became a story for western media eager to spin a Cold War tale of freedom-loving rebels fighting the Red menace.
For their part, the Hungarians expected western nations would throw troops at their fight against a common enemy. But by November 1956 the world was largely consumed with the Suez crisis. Hungary fell off the international radar, something many Hungarians have never forgotten.
"We really thought they would intervene," is a common refrain among the 56ers who once listened to Radio Free Europe and thought help would come.
For a brief period at the end of October, Soviet troops retreated from Hungary, leading many to believe the Hungarians had pulled off an impossible coup. But on Nov. 4, a new wave of heavy tanks rolled into the country and within days put a final, violent end to the revolution.
The following months resulted in more crackdowns.
"Anyone who had been seen participating, demonstrating or writing in favour of the revolution feared for his life," explains Nandor Dreisziger, a former history professor at the Royal Military College in Kingston, who also left Hungary in 1956.
Almost 200,000 Hungarians fled their country after the revolution, the vast majority pouring into neighbouring Austria. The refugees left under a haze of uncertainty -- many thought they would return in days, maybe months. They hitched rides to border towns and fled with backpacks of possessions. The Telegdis were among the thousands who decided to leave Budapest.
Telegdi's mother was a draftswoman and his stepfather a town planner who had joined the French resistance while studying in Paris during the Second World War. The MP doesn't remember them as especially political people, but as the situation in post-revolution Hungary worsened, they hatched a plan to leave.
"My parents sent us kids to a farm community close to the border," says Telegdi. "We said we were going to stay with relatives because our mother was sick."
Around midnight on a cold February night, Telegdi's parents came to the farmhouse and the family set off in a haywagon for the Austrian border. When they approached the no-man's land that separated the two countries, their guide left them with a simple set of instructions: "He said, that's the border. Head in that direction," Telegdi recalls.
It was a gruelling nighttime march. The family walked through snowbanks in forests and farmers' fields. Many Hungarians who had tried to escape along the same route turned back -- it was impossible to know if they were heading in the right direction, and the threat of landmines lurked underfoot. But the refugees pressed on and eventually came upon a cemetery. It would become their marker of freedom.
"My father looked at the tombstones to see if the names were German," says Telegdi. "Then we heard someone yelling at us in German. My mother worried that maybe they were Soviets who also spoke German."
But the Telegdis had indeed crossed into Austria. A farmer let them sleep in his barn for two nights before the family headed for the growing refugee camps in Vienna. It was there Telegdi first tasted chocolate powder. "The one thing we noticed was that the food was much better in Austria."
Atop the arching gate that stands outside the gleaming new forestry building at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver are the words, "Isten Hozott," a Hungarian expression meaning, "With the Grace of God." It is perhaps one of the most visible legacies of the Hungarian migration to Vancouver.
On a brilliant fall afternoon, Tony Kozak joins Telegdi for a tour of the campus where Kozak and almost 300 Hungarian forestry students resumed their studies after the revolution. Kozak went on to become the forestry school's associate dean for 21 years.
Looking back at their arrivals in Canada, the MP and the professor agree their reception was remarkable.
"It was very special for us," says Kozak, expressing the unbridled gratitude that almost every 56er intones when acknowledging their acceptance in Canada. "We learned very quickly that this had never happened before."
Prior to 1956, Canada's preferred immigrant was either a white Brit or a white American. Just a short decade earlier, Canada refused to accept Jewish refugees trying to flee the horrors of the Holocaust. Central and eastern Europeans -- including Hungarians -- were near the bottom of the racist immigration hierarchy.
By the 1950s, the postwar economy was booming and Canada opened its doors, if only a crack, to previously rejected groups.
Still, when the initial streams of Hungarian refugees marched past the Iron Curtain into Austria, the Canadian government was hardly keen to accept them -- on either humanitarian or economic grounds. It was only when the Canadian public, bombarded with shocking images from Budapest, demanded action that politicians approached the refugee issue.
"This was partly a humanitarian response and partly a response to the Cold War that the Hungarians had fought on the streets of Budapest," says Harold Troper, a University of Toronto historian, about Canadians' reaction to the crisis.
The refugee issue immediately became a political football. Responding to public pressure, Ontario's Conservative government proposed bringing the Hungarians to Canada. Sensing they might have been scooped in the battle for public opinion, the federal Liberals pounced on that idea.
In their efforts to help the Hungarians, the Grits let nothing slide. Jack Pickersgill, immigration minister at the time, arranged free airlifts from Austria and waived basic security and health checks on the refugees. He even visited a refugee camp in Vienna where he tried to woo a group of young forestry students to come to Canada.
Kozak was a 20-year-old student with a girlfriend and carefully slicked hair when the uprising erupted. As the political situation worsened, Kozak and his fellow forestry students at Sopron University made the quick trip from their border town into Austria. Kozak thought he would be gone just a short time; he left only in a sweater and slacks. With their school year interrupted, the school's dean appealed to several countries.
"UBC basically gave us carte blanche to teach the Hungarian curriculum and teach courses in Hungarian," says Kozak from his office in the forestry school. "The university as a whole accepted us and we're very grateful for everything that they've done."
Transplanting an entire university faculty across the Atlantic was an extraordinary example of institutional generosity, but thousands of Canadians echoed that sentiment in countless gestures between 1956 and 1957. The Telegdi family benefitted from the free airlifts that would take them from Europe to Gander, N.L., and finally to Vancouver.
"Pickersgill commissioned anything that crawled to bring the refugees to Canada," recalls Telegdi who, like most 56ers, still fondly remembers the immigration minister who marshaled the plan to assist the Hungarians.
After a couple of nights at the Vancouver immigration centre, the Telegdis loaded themselves and their belongings into two taxis to go to the Hay house on the city's North Shore. Lauren Hay, seven years old when the Hungarian Revolution erupted, still remembers her mother responding to a radio appeal for Canadians to host refugees. The family of five was told they would receive two single, Hungarian women. Instead, the Telegdis arrived and their four-bedroom, one-bathroom house became home to 10 people.
"We never really asked why they did it," says Hay, whose mother was a homemaker and father a carpenter. "My mother was an idealistic person and was interested in different parts of the world ... As a child, it was just something that you took for granted. You almost assumed that everyone had an immigrant family in their home."
The Telegdis stayed with the Hays for almost three months in 1957. During that time, the Canadians learned to eat chicken paprika, cabbage rolls and poppyseed cakes, while the Telegdi children played in the neighbourhood and their parents looked for work. That fall, a private Catholic school agreed to give the Telegdi brothers a bursary for tuition and board -- another welcome gesture for the refugees.
Canadians reached out in other ways, too. In 1956, Eva Kossuth was a young Red Cross worker in Montreal; she recalls that Simpsons department store delivered a new load of care packages whenever the radio announced another plane-load of Hungarians had landed. "We received constant calls with people asking, 'Do you need any food or clothes for the Hungarians?'" says Kossuth, a native of Hungary who settled in Vancouver. "At Christmas time, they called to ask, 'Do you have any Hungarians for us to have at Christmas?'"
The Telegdis' future neighbour, Steve Tanack, was a 40-year-old dining-car worker for CP Rail in 1956 when he was assigned a new route; his job was to cook for the hundreds of Hungarians who were being ferried across the country on the so-called "Freedom Train." Tanack remembers crowds welcoming the refugees at train stations in different cities.
The outpouring of generosity reflected the compassion and hospitality that many Canadians now view as their country's trademark in international humanitarian crises. Historians often say 1956 set the template for Canada's government sponsored refugee programs that later helped those fleeing Vietnam and the Balkans.
"The fact that the Hungarians adjusted so well encouraged the notion in the popular mind that Canada could do well by doing good," says Troper from the University of Toronto. "And doing good felt good."
Walking through his old east Vancouver neighbourhood, Telegdi points out the "originals" -- the wood-sided houses near 49th Street and Victoria that haven't been torn down and replaced with new, stucco-sided structures. A wave of immigrants from Asia has moved into this neighbourhood during the past decade or so, but Telegdi remembers when his was one of the only immigrant families on the block.
"Like with most immigrants, buying a house was a huge deal," says Telegdi.
In many ways, the Telegdi family story unfolded the way immigrant stories are meant to unfold. After five years on the West Coast, the family moved to Toronto where his parents found work in their professional fields. After high school, Telegdi enrolled at the University of Waterloo where he got involved in student politics and met his future wife, Nancy.
Telegdi now spends most of his days around Parliament Hill. It hasn't always been an easy ride. His thorniest fight in government has come at the intersection where Canadian immigration policy, public opinion and Europe's dark history converge. In 2000, Telegdi resigned as parliamentary secretary for citizenship and immigration over a proposed bill that would deny immigrants the right of appeal if a federal court ruled they should lose their Canadian citizenship. Instead, cabinet would make the final decision.
"When you deal with citizenship, it's a judicial process. It's something that's too important to be politicized ... I'm a Canadian by choice. I wasn't going to be part of something that treats six million Canadians like me like second-class citizens," says Telegdi.
Several Jewish groups in the country attacked Telegdi in the press for his position; their fight to deport suspected war criminals had come to a head in 2000, and backlash over the issue has left a strong mark on Telegdi's political career. The proposed bill eventually died when an election was called that year, but Telegdi still insists citizenship should remain an issue for the country's courts and that should be enshrined in a future citizenship act.
On the eve of the 50th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution, Telegdi has been at events around Ottawa to commemorate the uprising: a monument thanking Canada for welcoming the refugees was unveiled on Maple Island earlier this month; a portrait exhibit of 50 prominent Hungarian-Canadians is showing at the National Arts Centre until Oct. 22.
At the opening of the exhibit, Telegdi was among the glittering crowd of 56ers who gathered at the NAC to remember the world-changing events that brought them to Canada. The black-and-white photographs portrayed CEOs, doctors, artists -- and one federal politician. Beneath Telegdi's photograph, taken against the stately backdrop of Parliament Hill, was an inscription that read: "Like millions of other immigrants, my parents were wondering whether they did the right thing. Would their family flourish in this new land?" The answer is clear from the portraits on display.

With a recent launch event in Taiwan for the Zenfone 3 Zoom, an interview by ePrice with Asus CEO Jerry Shen has uncovered a few Zenfone 4 details. We are dealing with translations here, but we can at least share in general terms what Jerry Shen has said.
First, it appears that some of the top end Zenfone 4 models will not have the 3.5mm headphone jack. According to Shen, there would need to be a design or performance reason for removing it. Removing the headphone jack for the sake of removing the headphone jack doesn’t seem to be something Asus is contemplating. It seems quite clear though that most of the mid range and lower Zenfone 4 models will have the headphone jack. Water resistance or water proofing might be one justification for the headphone jack removal in our opinion.
Next, Shen indicates that Asus will have some premium priced Zenfone 4 models with top-end specs. This should be along the lines of what the Zenfone 3 Deluxe established in terms of pricing. With the move from Zenfone 2 to Zenfone 3 Asus has already raised their pricing and the Zenfone 4 series appears to have a similar pricing strategy. Based on what Shen is saying, expect the Zenfone 4 series to be even more premium overall than the Zenfone 3 series.

UzLiDeP’s proposals are reflected in the President’s decree
The Executive Committee of UzLiDeP’s Political Council, in cooperation with the Ministry of Employment and Labor Relations of the Republic of Uzbekistan, organized a roundtable discussion for discussing the essence and significance of the decree “On measures for further strengthening guarantees for the protection of citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan who are engaged in temporary labor abroad, and their family members” signed by the President on August 20, 2019, and the tasks outlined in the decree.
At the event, it was noted that this decree was adopted on the basis of practical proposals of UzLiDeP. Based on these proposals, the decree outlines specific tasks for the organized employment of citizens abroad, strengthening the mechanisms for protecting their rights, and social support for people and members of their families returning from labor migration.
Registration and issuance of the minimum package of documents requested for labor migrants for a period of one year (passport, application, request of the labor authority) was approved without guarantee for one banking day. A system of issuing microloans in the amount of 2 million UZS for expenses related to employment abroad is being introduced. At the same time, a procedure will be developed by insurance companies for providing a lump-sum subsidy to cover the amount of the insurance premium for life and health insurance of citizens and other risks during the period of temporary work abroad, once a year in the amount of 50 thousand UZS for each insured labor migrant. In 2020, it is also planned to allocate 3,462 apartments in multi-apartment buildings to labor migrants in need of better housing conditions. The proposals developed by the party are reflected in the decree.
At the same time, the decree indicates that now labor migrants who have found themselves in a difficult situation abroad and need help remotely can apply for help using the “Labor – migration” software package in a single national labor system.
In addition, according to the document, citizens who have expressed a desire to go abroad for conducting temporary labor activities will be provided online information on the rules of stay, working conditions, social and housing support in the country of employment, legal aspects of concluding labor contracts with foreign employers, as well as financial support measures prescribed by the legislation.
The decree provides support for the legitimate activities of labor migrants. It also contributes to development of mechanisms for practical implementation of the basic principles for protecting the rights of labor migrants.
At the roundtable discussion, specific tasks were outlined on bringing to the population, especially to young people wishing to work abroad, of the information that in accordance with this important decree of the Head of the state, every citizen of Uzbekistan is protected, that is, no matter in what country and in what conditions a citizen works, his rights are protected by the state.

20/02/2019 – 12:00: It’s getting serious now: In the customs dispute between China and the USA, Beijing has decided to take out their torture’s weapons. After all, US President Donald Trump had previously sent out conciliatory signals – and negotiations are continuing. Thus, the DAX was in positive territory in early trading. Fresenius and FMC also put the bulls in a good mood. Wall Street had not sent out any impulses before.
Stagnation on Wall Street
The New York Stock Exchange had remained skeptical on Tuesday. In the course of trading, the Dow Jones had reached its highest level since the beginning of December. But then the prices crumbled, and the Dow recorded a gain of only 0.03 percent to 25,891 points at the closing bell. On Monday there was no trading in the USA because of Presidents’ Day. S&P 500 closed Tuesday with a gain of 0.2 to 2780 points. And the high-tech index Nasdaq 100 also advanced by 0.2 percent to 7067 positions.
Focus on Fresenius in Frankfurt
Meanwhile, the DAX was up by 0.7 percent to 11,390 points in early Wednesday trading. Fresenius and FMC outperformed: Despite difficulties in the clinic business and at its dialysis subsidiary FMC, the Fresenius health care group increased sales and net income slightly more than expected last year. FMC is also creating a buying mood with a share buyback program.
China Warns the USA of the Global Crash
But the Chinese-American customs dispute continues to set the pace on the stock exchange. Every small cough will throw the stock markets back and forth. It’s starting to get exciting here: The Chinese leadership has just sent a clear warning to the USA through a mediator of the Communist Party. The KP newspaper “Global Times” reported, citing unnamed analysts, that any new US tariffs on Chinese goods could bring the world’s stock exchanges to their knees. In detail, the report says: “If the US were to impose higher tariffs and China were to react with tougher countermeasures, this would be a catastrophic blow to the global stock market.”
Of course, the Communists have also noticed that Trump has repeatedly cited Wall Street’s performance as an indicator of his success. No wonder, since gigantic players like Calpers – the Californian pension fund for civil servants – invest in the financial market; in a crash the pension of many voters would be cut. Goodbye, re-election. The S&P 500 has already won around 11 percent this year, the Shanghai Composite more than 10 percent in the plus.
Negotiators from both economic powers met again on Tuesday. Trump expressed confidence and indicated that the deadline set for an agreement at the beginning of March could be extended.
This was also positively received in Japan: In Tokyo, the Nikkei index gained 0.6 percent to 21,431 points. Japanese exports to China fell by more than 17 percent last month compared with the same month last year. Which is also an argument for China and the USA to come to a better agreement. Should Beijing be weakened further, purchases in Nippon are likely to decline even more.
The Fed Takes the Floor
And so, it continues on Wednesday: In the currency market it could be interesting for EUR/USD, because in the evening analysts will take a close look at the minutes of the Fed’s interest rate meeting at the end of January. They hope to find answers to the question of whether the Fed will tighten its interest rate screw soon or not.
Wal-Mart Tops Forecasts
Wednesday is also likely to see some movement in US retail equities. Retail giant Wal-Mart topped expectations for Q4, reporting earnings per share of $1.41, compared to $1.33 which was what analyst expected. The bulls will be interested in this sector on Wednesday. In addition, Wal-Mart raised the dividend to $2.12 per share, the 46th consecutive year in which the payout has risen.
Meanwhile, the financial calendar in the USA has thinned out considerably. The Home Builders’ Index is still due for February. In the meantime, almost all 500 companies of the S&P 500 have reported; according to the stock exchange site “Zacks”, about 400 companies reported an average increase in profits of 13 percent and an increase in turnover of 7.5 percent for the fourth quarter in a year-on-year comparison.
As you can see, the numbers at the stock exchange are richly laid out. The only thing that is clear is that volatility will hold. And there are three main topics: China, China and China.

Monitoring water levels can have numerous environmental benefits and is a popular measurement for a number of different industries and organisations. Below we will discuss some of the common applications water level monitoring devices, as well as some of the valuable insights that recording this can reveal.
Remote water level monitoring
Whereas water level monitoring used to be done by manually, with engineers sent to record levels of water on a fixed, often monthly basis, the ever-increasing improvements to technology means that water level monitoring can now be done remotely.
Telemetric devices allow for water levels to be recorded much more regularly. This data can then be sent to other devices over great distances which allows for greater response capabilities and ease of use.
In addition, remote water level monitoring also carry a number of other benefits including improved accuracy and reduced risk of human errors.
Common applications for water level monitoring
As well as time-saving benefits, water level monitoring can have a wide variety of environmental benefits, such as improved visibility on potential flood situations. By utilising water level monitoring systems, it is much easier to rapidly deploy countermeasures in the event that levels become too high or low.
water level loggers feature highly sensitive pressure sensors which can detect the smallest of changes to water level and can send alerts to preferred contacts alerting them to the situation.
This benefit means that water level monitoring is commonly used in some of the following applications:
- Flood monitoring
- River level monitoring
- Wetland studies
- Tidal studies
- groundwater monitoring
- Surface water monitoring
Groundwater and surface water monitoring
One of the most common uses of water level monitoring devices is in measuring groundwater and surface water.
Because groundwater levels present less visible signs, low flow groundwater sampling is very beneficial. Monitoring groundwater flow can help to detect possible changes in water flow, or increased or decreased levels of water volume which may indicate flow path changes, or alert to potential surface level flooding.
With regards to surface water monitoring, water level monitoring can be used in lakes, rivers and coastal waters. In the short term, this can help to alert to potentially dangerous level of water so that remedial actions can be taken. In the long term however, monitoring water levels can provide even greater insight into patterns of water dispersal in the area, and measure the effects of global warming for example.
Measuring water levels to prevent flooding
The effects of flooding can be disastrous to communities and homes. In very little time, flood waters have the ability to cause irreparable damage to treasured possessions and wreak havoc on lives.
Remote water level monitoring helps to provide an early warning system by providing advance warning of any likely flooding situation, providing valuable time to protect assets, move valuables and protect property.
In 2014 we installed 2 early warning devices in Stansted Mountfitchet following severe flooding in order to give the community more time to react. Read more about this in our case study.
Water level monitoring is hugely beneficial for a wide variety of applications and industries. Our LeveLine products provide accurate, remote water water level monitoring, meaning that whether used to record surface water or groundwater levels, results can be recorded and transported immediately.

Man why is it you rarely see ranged weapons drop, it’s like the devs are saying go play a meele character or a spell driven character. make drop rate a bit higher for those too. Us commandos or archers need guns and crossbows you know.
I don’t know about you but I see plenty of 2H ranged weapons drop. Regardless, there’s a large amount of Legendaries available so don’t expect to get what you want immediately or very soon.
It doesn’t help either that the ‘list’ of Legendaries that can drop refreshes with sessions leading to duplicate Legendaries if you frequently quit to the main menu.
It’s the RNG god playing up again. I see plenty of ranged weapons - guns, rifles and crossbows - drop.
It’s the RNG gods being trolls. With melee characters i drop caster and ranged stuff and with caster and ranged i drop melee stuff.

MANILA - The new Pulse Asia survey showed senatorial prospects closely associated with the Duterte administration saw a decline in their rankings, the research firm's president said on Tuesday.
Pulse Asia President Ronnie Holmes cited as examples Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte and Bureau of Corrections director Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa's rankings in the new poll.
Holmes said this may be the result of the issues and developments that transpired within the survey period, such as President Rodrigo Duterte's move to nullify Senator Antonio Trillanes IV's amnesty and the country's soaring inflation.
"In the survey, we saw a significant decline also in terms of the preference for Mayor Sara Duterte. It's about close to 7 percentage points decline but it's sufficient to land her fifth, in a safe ranking," Holmes told ANC's Beyond Politics.
"In the survey, we see people expressing much more concern for the increase in prices of commodities than what we've seen in the past 2 years."
The younger Duterte slid a rank down in Pulse Asia's September survey to fifth from the fourth spot.
Dela Rosa, meanwhile, did not make it to the top 12 compared with his seventh rank in the June senatorial survey.
Duterte's top aide, Christopher "Bong" Go, only placed 22nd to 27th in the poll.
Communications Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson, who claims to have more than 5 million followers on Facebook, only ranked 46th to 53rd in the survey.


Police Consider Missing Girl ‘Endangered’
SPOKANE — The mother of a missing 14-year-old girl says her adopted daughter’s obsession with making phone calls may have gotten her into trouble with strangers.
Vanessa Kaleikini says Noel is developmentally disabled and functions at the level of an 8-year-old, something easily exploited by strangers.
Kaleikini says she and Noel went to the North Spokane Wal-Mart Monday night with one of her sons at Noel’s request. Once at the store Noel begged her mother to go to the electronics department and Kaleikini says she let Noel go under the supervision of her brother.
When the mother of six returned to the electronics department though, her son said Noel was gone.
“He said she was looking at CDs. He said she was there and then she was gone,” Kaleikini said.
Surveillance video shows Noel alone outside of Wal-Mart and then walking back toward the WinCo grocery store. According to Kaleikini the video does not show Noel with anyone else or her getting into a car, but she believes otherwise.
“Of course I think she’s in danger. She’s with someone. I just don’t know who she’s with,” Kaleikini said.
Noel’s mother is worried for her safety and believes her daughter’s obsession with calling people got her into trouble. Kaleikini says that Noel is known to make thousands of calls and a couple of calls that showed up on a recent phone bill raised a red flag.
Kaleikini says Noel began calling a man in Florida named ‘Jeremy,” a man she believed was just 16-years-old and called ‘sexy baby.’ Kaleikini called the number and told him to leave her daughter alone.
But the calls didn’t stop there because other out-of-state numbers showed up on the cell phone bill. Kaleikini says her daughter has no filter for knowing how much is too much contact. She says noel is very gullible and becomes obsessed easily.
“You can talk to Noel, you can discuss things, you can talk until you’re blue in the face, but she’s still going to do what she wants,” Kaleikini said.
Spokane police believe Kaleikini’s disappearance does not match her character and they are considering her to be endangered. With the endangered status, they have assigned a major crimes detective to her case.
Meantime, Kaleikini is receiving support and help from friends and neighbors. She requested police issue and Amber Alert, but police cannot issue and Amber Alert unless they believe she is in a car being driven away.
If you have any information about Noel’s whereabouts you’re asked to call 911 or Crime Check at 456-2233.

France agrees to delay new tax on tech giants
|bbc.com 21 Jan 2020 at 07:44|
France has agreed to delay collecting a new tax on multinational technology firms until the end of 2020, a French government official has told the BBC.
The digital services tax has provoked an angry response from Washington.
The US had threatened to impose retaliatory tariffs on $2.4bn (£1.8bn) of French goods, including champagne and cheese, after the tax was passed in July 2019.
The US will not introduce extra import taxes this year, the official said.
The rapprochement was the result of a conversation between President Trump and President Macron on Monday.

Created in 1851, the Northern Superintendency did not oversee Indians related to South Dakota until 1856 when the Minnesota Superintendency was discontinued and the St. Peters Agency was transferred. In 1863 many Sioux and Winnebago Indians were moved to Dakota Territory but they remained under the jurisdiction of the Northern Superintendency until 1865 when the superintendency was reorganized. The St. Peters Agency was transferred to the Dakota Superintendency and the Winnebago and Upper Platte Agencies fell under the Northern Superintendency. The Santee Sioux, Whetstone, and Flandreau Agencies were also affiliated with this superintendency prior to its discontinuance in 1876.

I am a little newbie linux user. I would like to know wich files I would have to modify in order to switch a opensuse 11.4 server network configuration to either a dhcp internet connection or an static ip internet connection.

Botox is a well-known treatment to smooth facial lines and wrinkles, refresh a tired look and turn back the clock. Every medication carries risks, however, and although Botox has a very good, long term safety record, there are side effects to be aware of when planning your treatment. A quick search on the internet will turn up plenty of disturbing, anecdotal tales of Botox mishaps and unexpected results. Unfortunately, with the variety or practitioners available for treatment, the buyer must beware of the specific training and experience their injector has to ensure qualified care and avoid common pitfalls.
Most potential Botox patients can readily picture the “frozen face” look that they do not want. Occasionally a well-known celebrity appears to have smoothed their forehead and eye area to the point that they look like they are wearing a motionless mask and they can no longer raise eyebrows or emote normally.
Living life in the limelight means that these temporarily overdone results are kept for posterity in public pictures. Though a few people may request that look, many more will specifically request to avoid it and fear of looking frozen or fake may keep them apprehensive about Botox treatment. Most experienced injectors will agree that eliminating wrinkles is the goal, not eliminating all facial movement.
Be sure to discuss your goals with your injector beforehand and aim to underdo the application of Botox if it is your first time, not overdo. You can carefully adjust your treatments over time as you learn what works for you. Unfortunately the antidote to a Botox mishap is time- you must wait for at least 4 months for it to wear off.
Another commonly reported issue is “Spock” brow. When one or both eye brows lift up at the middle or ends, creating a quirky, surprised look, this can be referred to as Spocking. An experienced injector will typically be able to prevent this with a careful balance of Botox between the various brow muscles. A tiny dose of Botox, applied to the muscle which is pulling too high can be administered at a follow up appointment quickly and easily.
The feeling of a heavy, dropped forehead can also occur with too much Botox applied to the frontalis muscle over the forehead. This issue really requires a skilled, individual assessment before application because we all use our various muscles to different degrees, and existing anatomy such as hooded eyes or a large forehead would mean taking extra precaution in this area to prevent lowering the brow further.
If the forehead is too relaxed and appears lowered, the patient must wait for the Botox to wear off over 3-4 months, then remember to let future injectors know about what didn’t work well for them previously.
Extra care and precision injection must be used when injecting around the mouth and facial muscles which assist with smiling or frowning. Common problems associated with treatment in this area can include an asymmetric smile or visible lop-sided differences when using facial muscles, talking or chewing.
One-sided facial droop can occur when injection to the crow’s feet are administered too deeply or the product migrates from the area to affect muscles which pull up on the corners of the mouth. Only an experienced injector should use additional Botox to even out lop-sided results.
In most cases, less is more and waiting for the product to wear off if the least problematic route to take. Botox treatment around the eyes targeting crow’s feet has also been known to make lower eyelid puffiness and baggy appearance worse as the product spreads to supportive tissue structures around the eyes.
Eyelid ptosis or eyelid droop is less common than overall brow lowering. Brow Botox injection which affects one eye to the point that the upper eyelid sags noticeably and into the line of vision should be reported and treated by your doctor. There are special eye drops which can be used in these cases to improve vision and temporarily assist with lifting the lid until Botox wears off.
In most cases, Botox which was injected in excess or incorrectly will require plenty of patience as you allow it to wear off. Be sure to seek very experienced injectors and not to make your treatment decisions based on cost alone. It is also imperative that you follow your injector’s instructions for care after treatment, such as avoiding pressure application to the treatment area, heat, sweating and working out directly after treatment. Report any concerns or issues that you have right away so that your doctor will be aware of problems and can touch up and adjust results to make minor corrections.

Carl Icahn says he will not be Treasury Secretary for Donald Trump
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn said he does not plan to be Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary, despite recently saying he would accept just such an offer from the Republican presidential candidate.
"I have my day job," Icahn said referring to his investment business Icahn Enterprises. "I'm not going to be Secretary of the Treasury. I thought I made that clear, but maybe I didn't," he said at an event for Lyft, one of Icahn's investments.
In July, Trump told MSNBC's Morning Joe television show that he would "love to bring my friend Carl Icahn" on as head of the U.S. Treasury. Trump also mentioned private equity titan Henry Kravis and former General Electric CEO Jack Welch as Treasury secretary candidates.
Despite turning Trump down for the job, Icahn said he agrees with Trump's on some of his complaints about the country, and said he plans to issue his own presentation in a few weeks outlining his concerns on everything from the stock market to the "problems in our government."
"I do think a lot of the things he says has to be done in this country — or we're going to have real problems," Icahn said of his reality TV star friend, who once sparred with Icahn over ownership of an Atlantic City casino.
One of Icahn's beefs includes the $2.2 trillion money from U.S. corporations sitting overseas and the failure of U.S legislators to give these companies a tax holiday to allow them to repatriate the money back to the U.S.
"The quintessential example of what's dysfunction is we can't get this repatriation of $2.2 trillion," Icahn said. "There is $2.2 trillion sitting in foreign countries that we should get back here."
Such a holiday would forgive $770 billion in taxes that would otherwise be owed and benefit a slew of tech companies, including Apple, one of Icahn's largest investments.
Icahn also called for the Federal Reserve to raise rates, which could happen as soon as Thursday, the second day of a two-day policy meeting to discuss the issue.
"You have to raise in interest rates in this country," Icahn said. "We're building a huge asset bubble by having interest rates down here," he said.
Icahn's comments came hours after Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein said he didn't think the Fed should raise rates amid fears that the economy isn't yet strong enough to handle the move.
