By: Sandra Mae Laureano
“Only for Bangtan, we will become wings”, BTS’ Suga read the words in the slogans raised unilaterally by 20,000 people across the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, South Korea. It was February 18, the first day of BTS’ sold-out Episode III: Wings Tour in their home country. With the show nearing its end, each member had to give their parting words to the crowd, and the rapper’s voice just happened to be as chilling as winter itself.
“You will become our wings? We should be your wings,” his calm voice echoed across the dome, the crowd seemingly hanging on to his every word. “While preparing for the tour, just like you, we were worried about how to make it great and enjoyable for everyone. Would we be able to perform well? Without you, we couldn’t do this at all. Thank you for being Bangtan’s other half.”
While Suga’s normal voice could be as cold as steel, his words brought warmth and comfort to the thousands of eager fans who all patiently waited for their concert in the blistering cold; some having travelled across provinces, some even across countries.
Without having prior knowledge about K-pop and much more so, about BTS, you’d immediately think that these words are just that of an idol sweet-talking his fans, but if you read a bit further into it, you’ll see just how much of the story is worth a considerate read.
BTS: How they spread their wings
BTS, also known as Bangtan Boys, are currently putting K-pop onto a higher pedestal as they continue to break stereotypes, invading global charts and strengthening their reign in the span of months. Composed of Rap Monster, Suga, Jin, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, the band is gracefully drawing people’s attention with their own brand of hip-hop complemented by seamlessly synchronized choreography.
“Bangtan” is a Korean word which means “bulletproof”, the band owning up to their name by creating songs that echo the sensitivities of the youth. Their music primarily tells different stories through hip-hop mixed with dance, R&B, rock, EDM, and a lot more, all the while wrapped in the dizzying gloss and glamor of K-pop.
Since their debut in 2013, they have released 4 EPs (O!RUL82?, Skool Luv Affair, The Most Beautiful Moment in Life pt. 1 and 2), a compilation album (Young Forever), 2 studio albums (Dark & Wild and WINGS) and a repackaged album (You Never Walk Alone). Released on October last year, WINGS marks BTS’ second full length studio album, featuring individually composed/produced solo tracks from each member.
WINGS, which has sold more than a million copies worldwide, earned them multiple recognitions, including being the highest selling album in the Gaon Chart, winning Record of the Year in the Seoul Music Awards in 2017, entering UK’s Official Charts at 62, and charting at 26 at the Billboard 200.
Contrary to the usual, BTS were not initially gifted with a silver spoon in the K-pop industry. They are managed by Big Hit Entertainment, a non-major record label in South Korea, but they worked hand in hand to get to where they are now. Their endurance and perseverance, greatly matched with their flair in creating music and performing, became their catalysts to success. The members’ growing involvement in their album production and their effort to refine their skills continuously have allowed them to reach out to a wider audience, not just in South Korea, but across the world. Currently, they have risen to being one of the most sought after and most critically acclaimed Korean acts worldwide.
From giving out flyers, asking random strangers to come to their first ever concert in the U.S. on 2014 (as seen in their reality TV show American Hustle Life), to selling out arenas with 20,000 seats in a matter of minutes for The WINGS Tour, BTS’ proves that their influence is a force to be reckoned with. The steadily growing number of BTS fans from across the world, known collectively as “ARMY”, are devoted to see the band succeed. The numerous achievements received by BTS are in part earned through ARMYs’ efforts, propelling them higher by tirelessly streaming their music videos and albums on various platforms, and causing servers to crash during online voting campaigns and ticket purchases.
Wings to fly, fly, fly!
The WINGS Tour is the final installment of BTS’ live trilogy. It started with Episode II: The Red Bullet (2014), which reached different parts of Asia and continued with Episode I: BTS Begins (2015), exclusively held in Seoul.
To date, BTS’ The WINGS Tour has flown into nine cities across the globe including Santiago, Chicago, Anaheim, Bangkok, and just recently, Manila. Even in the Philippines, they have cemented their fame as they held a two-day sold-out concert at the MOA Arena on May 6 and 7. An estimated count of 30,000 ARMYs came to their show this weekend, creating a buzz palpable enough to cause mass hysteria in the scorching summer heat devouring Manila.
The concert was, to put it bluntly, massive even in the K-pop norm. The extravagant stage designs and sophisticated performances were matched by the top-notch blaze of pyrotechnics and the play of lights. In Seoul, the official lightsticks, called “ARMY bombs”, had a Bluetooth-controlled feature, which synchronized the colors and flashing sequence of the lights. There were floating strobe lights onstage and wired hot air balloons that drifted to the higher floors of Gocheok Sky Dome.
The WINGS Tour blasted off with Bangtan’s dose of empowering synth-fused hip-hop tracks which included “Not Today”, “Silver Spoon”, and “Dope”. ARMY’s reaction was instantaneous, the hype reaching all the way to the back as they jammed from one song to another.
Without a doubt, the highlight of WINGS went to the solo stages. Having their own inputs in composing their solo songs, each member’s performance reflected his distinctive energy.
Jungkook, the youngest member and main vocalist of the group, literally took the stage to “Begin” the set of solo performances. His song, which is a homage to his band mates whom he considers as his brothers, started as a soft ballad and developed to a fast-paced EDM-infused beat and melody.
Donning a loose silk top and a black velvet jacket ornamented by silver flower sequins, Jimin had everyone mesmerized by his number. His dance moves were fluid and sensual, his voice flowing graciously. As the lyrics of his solo track goes, he’s “smooth like a snake”. Known as the high note-hitter and the contemporary dancer of the group, Jimin’s performance was as visually satisfying as much as it was an aural treat.
Suga’s “First Love” was the most atmospheric in terms of its somberness. The track, which he wrote and co-produced, started solemnly and steadily progressed to a turbulent yet controlled fire-spitting rap that left him almost breathless in the end. Much like the flow, the song is a narration of how music pulled him in from childhood and kept drawing him out again and again.

About 9pm on the night after Christmas, Joanie and I bundled up for a ski at a nearby county park. With several inches of new snow, trails not yet groomed, overcast skies, a misty glow from the lights along the trail and no one around, there was a sense of wildness to the evening. We decided to ski both loops, maybe 4 or 5 miles altogether.
After a mile or so, we came to a stand of young adult red pines that's always been a special place for me, a place where the energy is palpable. On this night I could feel the energy 30 feet away, and when we stopped in the midst of the stand, it was really powerful. I experienced a kind of melting into oneness that usually only happens in deep meditation. Joanie could feel it too. We stood there 5 or 10 minutes basking in the presence, savoring the sense of connection. As we moved on, something felt a little different from before.
After another mile or so, Joanie spotted a doe off the trail to our left. We glided by her, stopped and watched her watch us. I could feel my heartbeat, pounding partly from exertion and mostly, I think, from the energy of that moment. After a while, she walked toward us and stood on the trial just behind us. She was joined then by a stag, who sauntered over from the other side of the trail. A foursome, we faced each other, quietly present, for what seemed like a long time, before they moseyed on. As we skied, they stayed parallel off to our right, a bit ahead of us, for a hundred yards or so, before the trail took us to the left and we parted ways.
Awed by that experience, we skied on, not saying much. After another mile or so, a red fox up appeared up ahead, traveling the trail in the same direction we were. He stopped. We stopped. He stared for a bit; then trotted toward us – and kept trotting toward us, closer and closer, till he was about 15 feet away. A tinge of nervousness crept into the amazement I was feeling. He stopped, paused for one last look and then, like he had not a care in the world, turned off into the woods, making a trail in the snow that was so thin and delicate, I wouldn't have believed it was made by a four-footer, if I hadn't seen it.
Magic was afoot. Except for once on a solo trip to the boundary waters when a bear cub came running up to me, I've never known animals in the wild to approach. As Joanie and I shared the wonder of this, I imagined that we had somehow become part of the forest, not separate from it the way we humans are most of the time. Whatever the explanation, clearly, we had been gifted.
The next night, we went skiing again. Truth be told, I wanted more magic.
This night had none of the last night's wildness. It was earlier in the evening, sky was clear, trails were groomed and the parking lot was crowded. Hoping still for some duplication of last night, I suggested that we ski the same route as before. With a much faster pace, it didn't take long to reach the red pine grove. This time, the energy was gentle, more subtle, not like the power of last night. I must confess, I was a tad disappointed.
The skiing, however, was great. We zipped along; encountered several humans, but no wild life. Approaching the area where we had seen the fox, I complained to Joanie about the lack of animal sightings. Not 30 seconds later, we spotted a bushy-tailed animal on the trail ahead. It didn't stop to look at us. It didn't move toward us. It slinked off the trail and disappeared into the woods – a skunk. I nearly laughed out loud.
The universe certainly has a sense of humor – a nice way of teaching and a gentle way of reminding.
After work, a couple nights later, with a light mist falling and rain forecasted for the next day, I was back at the park – skiing the same route, alone this time, in a humbler frame of mind. Entering the pine grove, not knowing what to expect, I felt once again a powerful envelopment of Love. Standing there, knees relaxed, spirit joyful, bursting with gratitude, I asked for a healing. And just then, a breeze moved through the trees, dumping a big plop of snow right next to me. I was startled but, fortunately, didn't need the plop to land on my head to get the message.
These experiences teach me, for the umpteenth time, that I am not in charge of magic. It's a gift. I can't make it happen. Lord knows, I've certainly tried over the years to create magic moments in relationship and in other areas of life. Magic doesn't come from effort. In fact, the harder I try, the more elusive it becomes. It arrives unpredictably when we open ourselves, without expectation, to what is – when we bring a beginner's mind, perhaps a childlike innocence, to life.
Maybe it's no surprise that New Year's is often depicted as an infant or toddler. The season invites us to begin anew – to welcome life with an open heart and a willingness to be surprised and a softening to enchantment.
So, please have a wonderful and delightful new year! Relax, enjoy, connect, stay present. Let yourself be surprised by the magic of 2011.

Turbo explores the future primitive with NEW JACK TRIBAL. First instalment in this new series comes courtesy of emerging Canadian talent: Clarian, Hreno, Mike Mind and label A&R Thomas Von Party.
Bridging the gap between the psychedelic world-beat of newly launched sister-label Multi Culti and Turbo’s forward-looking techno and house stylings, these four tracks offer distinct yet consistently straightforward takes on the tribal trance-out.
Visionquest-native Clarian’s icy-cool ‘Inuit’ kicks things off with a super hypnotic groove… the perfect soundtrack to an acid-ice-fishing trip gone right and an optimal DJ tool for the very early or very late hours.
Berlin-resident and Canadian ex-pat Hreno (Fur Trade, Autochtone, etc) is next up with ‘Tree Trunks,’ an expertly assembled rhythm track built on top of a bubbling bassline sure to get the party rolling.
Turbo and Multi Culti A&R Thomas Von Party takes the party from the forest into the jungle with ‘Pygmy Funk,’ an overtly primitive journey built on wood knocks, bird sounds and the deep throb of tom and bongo.
Finally, the supremely-talented Mike Mind turns in a downtempo bomb that will highlight your cave-party playlist.
supported by 8 fans who also own “New Jack Tribal”
Iñigo Vontier’s “Masika” and it’s chug combined with that vocal sample does it for me. A big stomper of a tune! Close behind is “Jubile Is Ok” when that whistle starts up… A2 still eclipses the “warmup” that is A1. a_way_of_life

“I’ll say the same thing that we’ve said every year we’ve played Carlisle, and that’s that turnovers have been a big deal,” said McKinstrey. “That seems to be a big factor whenever we play them as far as making a difference and turning the game one way or the other. I certainly hope we can win that battle tonight.”

With a nod to International Women’s Day, I thought I’d explore the dichotomy of keeping inspired through despair. So many of us women try to be Wonderwoman and it’s only natural to be struck with setbacks of exhaustion, self-doubt and the reality of not being able to achieve all that we wish to. What happens, though, when negativity wins over inspiration? Depression can set in and if you are like me, it can become a looming entity hovering between you and your dreams.
There are many degrees of depression and I won’t even begin to profess to be an expert. They range from chemical imbalances to a critical inner voice and all are destructive. Whether you may experience being particularly hard on yourself to perform or are battling a losing war with a chemical imbalance, I thought I would reach out with a bit of wisdom wrought with love.
For the last while (I won’t admit to how long …) I have been “shoulding” myself to death. Instead of just getting on with all that I want to do, I heap way too much on my plate and then get overwhelmed by the mass of it. Procrastination reigns and I end the day again, feeling pissed at my inability to move forward.
So instead of whining to myself (and you) I thought I would search out some bad habit blasters and share them with you. Yes (busted!!) I am procrastinating again but by reaching out with these hopeful points, maybe I will feel like I accomplished something today.
1. Ok, first we have to love ourselves. I live to spread love out but find it very hard to accept love in.
Here is a great perspective on remembering what it takes to love yourself. Grab yourself a cup of tea and have a listen to A Tedx Talk by Gala Darling titled Radical Self Love.
2.We all try to be special in some way. As an inspiration to our gender, I want to share two very special women with you to make you smile and love what makes us women.
As many of you know, Maya Angelou spoke her truth throughout her whole life. Her dedication to Human Rights, starting with her life story, inspired the world to love her. One of my favourite quotes from Maya is, “You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.”
Martha Graham was a pioneer of modern dance. Her passion for dancing wasn’t thwarted when she was told she was “Too old, too big and too ugly” to be a ballerina. She created a new expression of dance that at first repelled her audience. It was so different, so awkward that it’s authenticity made people uncomfortable. It didn’t take long for the passion for the art to shine through and convince the world to love a new, bold and raw form of dance that moved the audience to tears.
The two women above didn’t try to be Wonderwoman. They just lived authentically and made their purpose their passion. How easy is that? Very, because it’s hard to dampen down passion. Even if we have “down days” our passion is still there, waiting … quietly.
I guess we should go easy on ourselves. There I go “shoulding” again.
3. But, really, it’s so easy to be hard on ourselves when we could be just taking a deep breath and making a list! Let’s start “coulding ” ourselves!
Seriously, making a list helps when you are overwhelmed. If you are specific about your tasks, just the process of listing them is an accomplishment. You become more clear and focused and by just ticking off one thing, you break the cycle of frustration.
Check out Michael Pollock’s blog to help you get your goals back on track.
4. Look around. Life is good. One of my all-time favourite things to put life into perspective is DESIDERATA. Have a look and download!
5. Try going for a walk or meditating, or just having a bath. The time and place where you can spend some quiet time with yourself can be healing in many ways if you let it. As you take these few minutes, think of how you would describe yourself from the perspective of someone else. Really try to look at yourself from another’s eyes. You aren’t so bad, right?
This is a quote from Martha Graham: “There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost.”
If you are inspired by Gala, Maya and Martha that’s great! They have amazing perspective and I wish I could get all three in the same room. If, however, you still feel the grip of depression dragging you down, it’s no light matter. Have a look at Dr. Lisa Firestone’s 6 truths and 8 ways to fight it.
In closing, our dreams are the things that keep us going. As women, we multitask through our day and still feel we didn’t do enough. Let’s pat ourselves on the back instead of putting ourselves down. We are wonderful women – no need to be Wonderwoman!
Bonus: I ran out to do an errand before posting this and gave myself time to reflect on how personal this post is. I gave myself a moment to ask if I wanted to “spill”. I decided to leave it as is because that is what blogs are – personal. I was listening to the radio and heard a “Woman mash shout out” for Women’s Day and they played a tune from the past that always had me up and smiling. So, along with the walks, baths meditation or cup of tea I have suggested, get up and dance TO THIS!!
Happy International Women’s Day. xoxoxo
Well said Lisa! I love you to bits xoxo
Thanks Cyn. Love you too. xoxo

As it passes its one hundred and fiftieth birthday, Italian firm Pirelli is reworking from a tire producer to a know-how firm that makes tires.
In a latest interview, CEO Marco Tronchetti instructed Newsweek that, regardless of the adjustments within the business, the corporate is preserving its spirit alive by specializing in its historical past of technological improvements.
“For me, it means the proudness of being at the help of such a company with history that goes through three centuries, and the responsibility to deliver a competitive Pirelli for the future generations.” he stated. “To continue for at least another 150 years.”
Tronchetti has been on the helm since 1992, the place he has spent the final 4 a long time working to develop the corporate’s worldwide operations and combine automation into the manufacturing course of.
Before that, he labored for his household’s maritime transportation firm.
Pirelli was initially based in 1872 to make rubber merchandise. In 1896, the corporate was granted a patent for bicycle tires. Five years later, their first automotive tires hit the market.
Called the “Ercole,” they have been made with a brand new rim anchoring system that made it simpler to resist larger speeds than the widespread slick or radial tires on the time.
Tronchetti mirrored on the origins of the corporate, saying that it was began on the proper place and the suitable time, when technological improvements have been ripe for improvement. “In the beginning, Giovanni Battista Pirelli was clever to understand the strength of the opportunity coming from technology,” he stated.
Advancements in supplies analysis within the Twenties led to the event of a variety of tires that have been lower-pressure and simpler to trip, together with the Superflex and Stella Bianca traces.
The Nineteen Thirties noticed the change from cotton to rayon, an artificial fiber, in tire carcasses. The firm opened its first artificial rubber manufacturing unit within the Nineteen Forties and within the Fifties, Pirelli began promoting the Cinturato, the primary tire constructed with a wrap-around radial construction.
A collaboration with Lancia, an Italian automotive model now owned by Stellantis, yielded the vast radial tire. The commonplace radial tires obtainable on the time could not face up to the wants of a Lancia Stratos on the observe, so a tire with a lowered sidewall top and a radial construction to extend grip was created.
A century of analysis and improvement into compounds, grip and efficiency have adopted Pirelli into its relationship with Formula 1 and different motorsports organizations. For Pirelli, it supplies what Tronchetti describes as an “open-air lab.”
The firm has been the unique tire provider for Formula 1 since 2011 and is a serious affect in race dynamics. Before every race, the corporate selects three tire compounds for groups to make use of primarily based on climate experiences and observe circumstances.
The sport permits the corporate to see how its tires will behave at excessive temperatures and the very best speeds potential. Rally races check the tires’ skills in snow, ice, mud and different circumstances.
“We can elaborate, through data analytics, all of the information to continue to improve safety, the environmental impact and the performance of our tires,” he stated.
As a pure extension of these analytics, the corporate debuted the HL tire final 12 months. It’s the corporate’s first tire constructed particularly for electrical and hybrid autos. Standing for “High Load,” the HL tires are constructed to deal with the additional weight that an electrified car carries with its battery pack.
The firm, Tronchetti says, is making an attempt to take care of its benefit in a luxurious automotive market that’s beginning to flip electrical.
“We are the number one supplier of prestige cars,” he defined. “Fifty percent of the market – Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Porsche, Bentley – is Pirelli. One out of two cars coming from prestige manufacturers is Pirelli.”
That, and implementing automation into the corporate’s manufacturing course of, have been his greatest objectives when he took the helm 30 years in the past.
Tires right now undergo a lot sooner improvement cycles than they did prior to now. Data analytics, advances in engineering and simulation know-how permits the corporate to answer challenges shortly. Tronchetti says that the Pirelli of the long run might want to additional mix skillsets to proceed its success.
“We have to combine new competencies in data analytics and artificial intelligence with all of the competencies of materials, structures and chemicals,” he argued. “That is something that is exciting. Digitalization is the name of the game.”
By the start of 2023, Tronchetti expects to retire as CEO whereas remaining an advisor to the corporate. He sees nice potential for the corporate, the business and the world as a complete to come back out of the pandemic higher than ever.
“People are willing to build the future,” he stated. “And I think politicians around the world should leverage the positive side instead of underlying differences. So it can be a very interesting time in a positive sense. (The world) is volatile, but the will of the people is to grow.”


John Mica, R-Fla., chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, expressed confidence on Thursday that Congress will complete a bill that authorizes the Federal Aviation Administration’s operations and programs for the next four years by May 29.
Mica said that House and Senate staff members are meeting to sort out differences between the versions of FAA reauthorization that both houses passed about six weeks ago.
“We’re pre-conferencing right now and making a lot of progress, but that’s also occupying a lot of attention,” Mica said.
“It’s four years overdue, where the transportation bill is only, what, two years overdue?” Mica said, which is why he’s giving the FAA bill priority over a new six-year surface transportation bill that was expected to be passed by the committee this month.
The last FAA authorization expired in 2007, and has been extended 18 times since. After the House and Senate approved reauthorization, Congress passed Mica-sponsored bill extending the old law again to June 1.
President Obama hosted a dinner Monday night for congressional leaders of both parties.
“I also mentioned Monday night to the president they need to move forward with FAA, and also Mr. Reid (Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.)” Mica said. “So we take them as we can, and we have a little bit more time on transportation -- through September – and I have a looming deadline for the end of May on FAA.”

Booklets outlining Obamacare health insurance options for Californians.
- Filed Under
The premiums on New Jersey's new health exchange likely will be similar to insurance on the existing market, but the plans will be more comprehensive, observers said Wednesday.
Lower-income consumers who qualify for tax breaks and don't have children, however, could see monthly premiums as low as $103, while a young family of four making $50,000 can find a policy for $131 a month, also with tax breaks, a government report released Wednesday said.
"What's 'affordable' is if you're eligible for tax credits," said Ray Pokorny, an employee benefits consultant with FFP Insurance Services, ...

Asian equities have kicked into overdrive in 2017 during the region’s largest rally in eight years, but a new batch of cautious investor sentiment reports signals that the market may be ready to pump the brakes and take profits.
State Street’s Asian Investor Confidence Index dipped in July for the eighth time in nine months, dropping to 96 from 97.3 on a scale where 100 indicates a neutral outlook. The measurement assesses the risk appetite of institutional investors in Asia. By contrast, the global reading jumped to 108.9 from 101 in June.
In another survey, BlackRock reported that just 49% of Hong Kong investors feel positive about their financial future in 2017, down from 58% in 2015 and 67% in 2014. Meanwhile, J.P. Morgan Asset Management announced in July that its investor confidence indicator in Hong Kong stagnated in the second quarter, despite a 6.9% gain during that time in the city’s benchmark Hang Seng Index. The reading edged down to 112 from 113 but still sits above the threshold for a positive outlook set at 100.
“The rather stagnant sentiment likely reflects the mix of optimism and uncertainty among investors, with many preferring to adopt a wait-and-see attitude,” said Karina Law, vice president of retail distribution at J.P. Morgan Asset Management.
Asian stocks were a must-buy earlier this year when they traded at steep discounts to US and European markets. There still appears to be fundamental support for the rally to continue as upward revisions to forward earnings outlooks in China and South Korea, for example, have outnumbered downward ones this year by the largest ratio in more than five years, according to Yardeni Research. Investors may be growing skittish, however, after already raking in significant gains.
“The rather stagnant sentiment likely reflects the mix of optimism and uncertainty among investors, with many preferring to adopt a wait-and-see attitude”
The MSCI AC Asia Pacific Index has surged 19.5% so far this year through August 2, set for its best yearly performance since registering a 37.9% gain in 2009. The run-up in 2017 comes after three years of muted performance in the benchmark, which measures stocks in 14 countries including Japan, China, Hong Kong and South Korea. With much of the low-hanging fruit now snapped up, however, Russell Investments is neutral on the region.
“The strong year-to-date performance in 2017 has made valuations less attractive and, in our view, pushed the region into overbought territory,” Russell Investments strategists including Graham Harman wrote in a June report.
The MSCI AC Asia Pacific Index was valued at around 1.6 times book value through June versus 1.4 times in December. The benchmark is still discounted versus other regions, however. It traded at 13.7 times forward earnings compared with the MSCI World Index at 16.5 times and the MSCI USA Index at 18.1 times.
Less than three in ten of the investors polled in the J.P. Morgan Asset Management survey planned to increase their investments. Perhaps signaling a more defensive mindset, one in three expressed an interest in income investments, up from just one in four the previous quarter.
In addition to creeping valuations, investors may also be concerned about the impact of a declining US dollar on emerging markets in the region that still rely on exports. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index, which measures the greenback against a basket of other currencies, dropped to a 15-month low on Wednesday.
Upbeat economic reports suggest the region has still been able to find a market for its goods, however, despite them being relatively more expensive in US dollar terms. South Korea recorded a US$10.6 billion trade surplus in July, for example, after announcing exports surged 20% from the previous year. Meanwhile, the Caixin China General Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index increased in July for the second straight month as the rate of new order growth reached a five-month high.
The resurgence in trade has paid dividends for the region’s manufacturers and exporters. Hyundai Heavy Industries, the world’s largest shipbuilder, reported a 69.3% increase in first half operating income versus the same period in 2016. Its stock is up more than 20% this year at 177,500 won (US$157.38) through August 2. China’s home appliance maker, Midea Group, jumped 44.8% during that span to 40.80 yuan (US$6.06).
“We encourage investors to stay invested with a diversified approach, especially when interest rates remain low”
J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Law said investors who cut and run from the market now might be leaving money on the table in the current economic environment. “Despite the uncertainties, we encourage investors to stay invested with a diversified approach, especially when interest rates remain low,” she said.
Further unwinding in the US dollar could also provide a tailwind for the rally in Asian stocks as investors look for new markets to invest in after selling off assets denominated in the greenback.
US-based funds that buy international stocks raised US$3.9 billion in the week ended July 26 versus just US$1 billion in funds focused on the domestic market, according to Investment Company data. The international funds have attracted more than US$150 billion so far this year, reversing a US$4.4 billion net sell-off in 2016.
This could translate to even higher trading interest in Hong Kong, for example, where daily turnover already breached the HK$100 billion mark on the first two trading sessions in August. Daily average turnover only topped HK$80 billion (US$10.2 billion) in February and March during the first-half of the year.

Transcription Beta (low confidence) “Hey you, Apologies for taking so long to return your call, I’ve been lost in America, MIA. I haven’t been able to think clearly, although maybe I’ve been thinking too clearly and that’s the problem, after all clarity is a matter of perspective. Thank goodness for humor, almost everything is funny… […]
I really like Mia’s work. The part about Dramamine makes me think of that song by the Sparks – Angst in my pants. I’m probably the worst about explaining the fine details of why I think a piece of art is good but Mia’s writing in this piece is something I would like to read more of.
Work has been going well, it looks like next week they are going to order me a more ergonomically efficient chair, which is like, the best ever because who wants to fuck up their spine while they’re hunched over slaving away as a typist. A typist!
Mia I hope this share does your work justice, if you think it looks funky in any way or you want me to change anything just send me a message.
Over the past month or so, I have read some really great writers on wp. So in the spirit of goodwill, the two more holidays left in the weekend, and my general eagerness for sharing. I’m in the mood to share some work that I favor quite a bit. This first one is by Rimbaud who influenced people like Jim Morrison, Patti Smith, Bukowski (I think) and probably alot more. I just can’t confirm because at the moment I am half in the bag. Work has been going well. My supervisor at the job site told me that she didn’t normally offer people jobs before their 90 day probation period ends but she wanted to inform me that she was planning on offering me the job on a permanent basis because she felt confidant in my work. I came up with another idea for a story. I’m super psyched about. The writer’s block seems to be dissolving. I’ll post more soon. Have a fabulous pass over everyone
When I came up with the idea for Confetti and Coffee, I wanted to write about the more humorous aspects of my life. I wanted to expand my skills as a writer and show that I can write more than just poetry that deals with the darker passages of this world. However, since today is 911 and I just wrote an essay for my English class ( not to mention that I haven’t posted an essay in months). I have decided to post the essay I wrote for class. The assignment was for me to write a rhetorical analysis about the descriptive devices and appeals the song uses. I wrote about a song that reflects on PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). As always, I welcome feedback left on my FB page and if the mood should suit you click that fancy share button on your device. Cheers
Joy Division, “Decades”
The song, “Decades” by the band Joy Division is a song that reflects on the profound effects of war on service members who have engaged in combat. Due to the stress of war these soldiers often suffer from (PTSD) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The song is not a political argument but a song that is a social argument. There are no anti-war slogans being thrown around in this tune but the theme the song reflects on is the tribulations faced by service members who are struggling with their mental issues having returned from combat.
Through the use of a synthesizer, “Decades” uses auditory appeal to evoke sadness akin to that of a funeral. Singer Ian Curtis also applies auditory appeal through the somber use of his vocals. Auditory appeal can also be found in the combination of lyrics and vocals of the chorus, “Where have they been?” These lyrics and begging tone of Curtis’ voice portray the distraught moaning of the family member of a GI. As the family tries to understand the brutality their loved one has been a party too. “Decades” is an argument of pathos. It has an emotional appeal that vibrates through the melodic combination of synthesizer and Curtis’ dreary vocals. The lyrical content is embedded with figurative language device, such as the lyrics, “we knocked on the door of Hell’s darker chamber.” The soldiers are not literally knocking on Hell’s darker chamber but going through the emotional stress of combat which equates what they are experiencing, as to that of being in Hell. The use of visual imagery can also be seen in the lyrics, “We knocked on the door of Hell’s outer chamber.” This summons the idea of men standing at the foot of Hell, waiting to be let in. The next line in the song, “pushed to the limit we dragged ourselves in,” is a paradox because it is not physically possible to drag yourself into anywhere. Someone would have to be doing the dragging to be able to use the word in its traditional sense. Finally, the use of alliteration can be found at two points in the song. The first is, “watched from the wings as the scenes where replaying.” The second point would be, “the sorrows we suffered and never were free.”
Its five minutes till midnight and I can’t come up with a decent concept to write about. I’ve been lugging around writers block on my shoulders for the past few months and have been going stir crazy sitting at home trying to deliver the goods for this month’s essay. 11:57 P.M. and time is running out. I thought about how much television I’ve been consuming over the past few months and how I equate this to a woman I use to know, a woman I referred to as a, “beautiful distraction,” but I couldn’t paste two sentences together to make a decent paragraph, so I dropped that idea. I thought about how my writers block and my lack of gainful employment could somehow be connected. Half way through my second paragraph I realized that I hate work, or should I say I don’t care much for the types of jobs I am qualified to do. That idea was tossed. Then I thought about addiction. How a constant revolving maelstrom affects not only the sufferer but those around them. I thought about the fight that many endure 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. What promises they make and break on the daily; just to wake up and exist. Just to quiet their nerves. I thought about the junkies and drunkies I know. The shopaholics, gamblers, TV addicts. The porn addicts, the sex addicts and the rage freaks. I thought about these concepts profoundly. Trying to make sense of the dilemma at hand. Trying to write a few days worth of work into 5 minutes. Trying to beat the demons of procrastination. Trying to kick start my brain without succumbing to the addictive glow of TV and Taco Bueno. Then I realized it was almost 12:30 A.M. December 1st. I had missed my deadline.
It was the final week of my 60 day juice cleanse; I was exhausted and craving junk food. My brain knew by the end of the week I would be eating solid food and gluttonous nightmares began infesting my sleep. I dreamt of raiding candy dispensers at the local market. Dumping neon colored, sugar-coated, gummy bits into my mouth, head tilted back, eyes kissing fluorescent lights as I choked on candy. I was spooked by dreams of pastry possession and drowning under tides of Thanksgiving gravy. I became afraid to sleep at night. I began to sleep with a light on. It didn’t help.
I got the idea for a juice cleanse after watching a movie where this three hundred pound guy lost hundreds of pounds juicing fruits and vegetables for 60 days. I became more and more comfortable with the idea as I thought about it. Like the man in the film I hoped to reset my eating habits and lose weight at the same time. I began to question what I was eating and how it affected my mood. Generally speaking I mostly consumed carbs and would often drift into a coma like stasis after each meal.
During my 60 day campaign I reflected on my habit. I realized that eating is something I often do uncontrollably and without the sensation of hunger being present. Like a flesh-eating fiend from a George Romero flick I often wandered the kitchen in search of food. Not hunger but an urge. It was a frightening realization. I began to equate this idea to that of someone dealing with addiction.
While I juiced I made sure to use a recipe that would give my body all the nutrients I needed so that I would not starve. Starvation was not appealing to me. I wanted to be able to appreciate food. During the 60 days I noticed I was hardly ever hungry. However I quite often fought with the craving of certain foods, Chick-fil-a’s meal number 4, pizza, Chinese food, mom’s homemade tacos. But there was never any real hunger. The words, “I’m starving,” never crossed my lips.
The first 30 days went by fast as I noticed the weight vanish. Success bred confidence and I increased my cardio to twice a day. Then I lost my job but I didn’t let the stress derail my movement. I was near the finish line. Only one more week left and I was down to 157 pounds. Within two pounds of reaching my goal. Then the nightmares came. Like a possessed child in need of an exorcism I was being haunted by junk food. Would I over throw the food junkie that pressed cupcakes against my face, like a fat stripper pressing her gut up against me? The last night of my fast was a long one; my mind went back and forth contemplating all the irresponsible food I would indulge in. I wanted to be a food junkie again and as I sat there I wondered if I could look myself in the mirror if I ordered Dominos but didn’t eat it till after midnight?

It’s no surprise in an annual Gallup poll, Americans chose real estate as the best long-term investment. And it’s not the first time it’s topped the list, either. Real estate has been on a winning streak for the past eight years, consistently gaining traction as the best long-term investment.
What does high inflation mean for real estate investments?
Even when inflation is rising like it is today, Americans agree an investment like real estate truly shines. Rising inflation means prices are increasing across the board. That includes goods, services, housing costs, and more. But when you purchase your home, you lock in your monthly housing payments, effectively shielding yourself from increasing housing payments. James Royal, senior wealth management reporter at Bankrate, explains it like this:
“A fixed-rate mortgage allows you to maintain the biggest portion of housing expenses at the same payment. Sure, property taxes will rise and other expenses may creep up, but your monthly housing payment remains the same.”
Natalie Campisi, advisor staff for Forbes, notes:
“Tangible assets like real estate get more valuable over time, which makes buying a home a good way to spend your money during inflationary times.”
On the other hand, renters don’t have the same benefit and aren’t protected from increases in housing costs. If possible, renters should try to avoid being trapped in rising rates out of their control. The national median rent increased 17.8% in 2021 and is projected to continue upwards throughout 2022.
Housing truly is a strong investment, especially when inflation is high. When a homeowner locks in a mortgage payment, they are shielded from housing cost increases, and own an asset that typically gains value with time.
