GLOBE TELECOM INC. has secured regulatory approval to build the biggest remittance network in the country, using the company’s 18,000 prepaid loading stations, such as convenience stores and food establishments, throughout the country.
Globe yesterday said in a statement that the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ Monetary Board recently approved the request of Globe subsidiary G-Xchange Inc. (GXI), to use the telco’s subdistributors as GCash outlets.
“Our distribution system is one of our most valuable assets and combined with our current GCash network of partners will help us significantly expand our efforts to provide a vehicle for financial inclusion to more Filipinos all over the country,” said Ernesto Cu, president and CEO of the telecommunications unit of Ayala Corp.
Promoting the use of electronic money applications such as GCash has been a major initiative in the government’s effort to lower the cost of remitting money to the Philippines.
The expanded GCash outlet network supports the delivery of money transfers from abroad through GXI’s 744 international partner outlets in 30 countries.
Remittances from the country’s eight million overseas Filipino workers (OFW) make up about a tenth of domestic output.
With the approval, Globe said it would be able to turn their sub-dealers into virtual automated teller machines, where GCash subscribers could deposit or withdraw money in their accounts.
Due to the country’s geographical characteristics, three out of every four Filipinos, have limited access to banking services, Globe said. But with GCash now widely available, people in far-flung areas may be able to withdraw remittances, settle household bills and pay for everyday services.
eOFW is not related in any way to the companies featured in our articles except otherwise specified. We feature different companies for the information of our readers to help them better find services that suit their needs.

Geeze, this is already a big year for Steve Martin, and it’s only January! He was typically hilarious and perfect as Meryl Streep’s romantic interest in It’s Complicated, and in March he’ll co-host the Academy Awards with Alec Baldwin.
And now he can check off “book deal” from his 2010 to-do list. He has signed a deal with Grand Central to write Woman One, a novel which “examines the glamour and the subterfuge of the fine art world” in New York. The book will be released in November 2010.
Martin will also write a children’s book titled Late for School, based on a song from his album “New Songs for the 5-String Banjo.” (Watch him performing it live after the jump.) No word yet on a publication date. The book will pub in September. (Via New York Times.)
Related content: In 2001, BookPage reviewer Joanna Brichetto wrote that Martin’s novella Shopgirl will “shock” readers expecting to find “zany riffs and hilariously skewed observations” from the comedian. Instead, Shopgirl is a “sweet, courageous exploration of a young woman’s search for selfhood and love.”
What’s your favorite Steve Martin role? Inspector Clouseau? Author? Banjo player?

We often ask the Boy this question as his mind is constantly changing. The other day in the car we asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. He said, "I want to go to College so I can be a Daddy!" He had followed this up with something else but with all the laughter we don't recall what he said. Now it is true, some people go to college and become Daddies but I don't thing it is offered as a major or area of study. It was sweet and innocent and I didn't have the heart to tell him that you don't learn how to be a Daddy in college, although some days I wish there was an elective or two.

The Ten Habits of Highly Successful Criminals is a book by Snake Jailbird. It is a "how-to" guide for people pursuing a criminal career.
After Bart and Gina Vendetti had escaped from the Springfield Juvenile Correctional Facility, Channel 6 News covered the story of their escape. Kent Brockman asked Snake for his thoughts on the situation. Snake said that "if they are smart, they will avoid the main roads", as he had written in his new book. He then showed a copy of the book to the camera.
Behind the laughterEdit
The title of the book is a parody of the self-help book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

O King of the Gentiles, yea, and desire thereof! O Corner-stone, that makest of two one, come to save man, whom Thou hast made out of the dust of the earth!
O Rex Gentium, et desideratus earum, lapisque angularis, qui facis utraque unum: veni, et salva hominem, quem de limo formasti.
Your basic Latin chant of the actual O Antiphon:
Isaias 9:7 – His empire shall be multiplied, and there shall be no end of peace: he shall sit upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom; to establish it and strengthen it with judgment and with justice, from henceforth and for ever: the zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Isaias 2:4 – And he shall judge the Gentiles, and rebuke many people: and they shall turn their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they be exercised any more to war.
Latin Verse from Veni, Veni Emmanuel added in 1878:
Veni, Veni, Rex Gentium,
Veni, Redemptor omnium,
Ut salves tuos famulos
Peccati sibi conscios.
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
nascetur pro te, Israel.
English Verse from O Come, O Come Emmanuel written/translated by H. S. Coffin (1916):
O come, Desire of nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind;
Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease;
Fill the whole world with heaven’s peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
Sancte Paule (Miki), ora pro nobis!

I loved The Selection trilogy, so when I found out about the sequels (The Heir and The Crown) I was so excited! I devoured The Heir, I loved how strong and smart Eadlyn is. She did come off as a snob in The Heir, but in The Crown, you get to see a whole new side of her.
Eadlyn didn’t think she would find a real partner among the Selection’s thirty-five suitors, let alone true love. But sometimes the heart has a way of surprising you…and now Eadlyn must make a choice that feels more difficult—and more important—than she ever expected.
Now the end of the journey is here. Prepare to be swept off your feet by The Crown—the eagerly awaited, wonderfully romantic fifth and final book in the Selection series.
You’ll need to read The Selection trilogy first to understand the characters and plot, but I thought I’d come out with this review while it was fresh in my mind (I finished the book yesterday). If you like romance and YA fiction, then you will love The Selection trilogy and the sequels.

The Pixelmator team has just launched the new version of their really cool photo editing tool called Pixelmator 2.1 Cherry. We have been playing with a beta version for a few days and we are really impressed with the new features especially the new Effect Browser and of course the speed.
To give you an extra incentive to play with Pixelmator we will show you how to design a really cool vintage style image and the best part, we will give out 3 copies of the new Pixelmator and an iPod Touch.
So the rules are simple. Download the Pixelmator file and come up with a version based on this image. You have total freedom to do anything you want. Once you get your design, just post it at http://raw.abduzeedo.com/submit with the title Pixelmator Contest: Title of your design.
Open Pixelmator and create a new document. I am using 2880x1800 pixels. After that import a photo. I am using a photo of cherries by kksummers found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/tkksummers/2561778086/.
One of the coolest new features in Pixelmator 2.1 is the new Effect Browser. You can browse and preview the effects in real time. Really cool. So Let's start adjusting the image. Scroll down to the Color Adjustments.
Select Levels and then adjust the Gray to 55%. The easiest way to apply the effect is by either double clicking or drag the thumbnail of the filter to the image.
Select Exposure and change it to -10.
Scroll down and go to Vintage. Vintage is a new set of presets that create nice vintage filters like Instagram. Select Wormwood and change the Saturation to -10 and the Vignette to 100%.
Select the Rectangle Shape. Add a white rectangle in your design.
Add another rectangle with the Rectangle Shape tool. Then duplicate it and position the new ones like the image below.
Add another rectangle, this time in black. Position it in the end of the big retangle and click on the little gear icon on the top left of the canvas window. Select Make Editable. Move the vertices to create a sort of 3D ribbon effect. Use the image below for reference.
With the Type Tool (T) add the texts Pixelmator and Cherry using the font Mensch http://www.losttype.com/font/?name=mensch. For the Pixelmator text use black and for the Cherry text use white.
With the Rectangle Shape tool add another rectangle, this time like a line going from the edge to the word Cherry. After that duplicate 3 times to create lines like the image below.
Add another text, this time the "2.1". Then with the Ellipse Shape tool, create a circle underneath the 2.1.
Group all these shapes and texts, then change the Blending of the group to Screen. That way the black will be transparent creating a really nice cut out effect.
Go to Layer>Add Layer Mask. Then with the Brush Tool (B). Select the Grunge Brushes preset and paint with black a few dirty areas like the image below.
Select the photo layer and then drag the CMYK filter to the image. Use the image below for the values. The idea of this effect is to create a sort of halftone style to the image.
You can rotate the Pixelmator to add more style or you can even rotate everything. The idea is to explore and that's why we are runing this tutorial and giveway. We want you to download the Pixelmator file and create a new version using the new Pixelmator 2.1 Cherry.
We will pick the 3 winners that will get a license of the new Pixelmator and for the first place we will have an iPod Touch as well.

GALLERY: Feast your eyes on our spectacular set of photographs from a spectacular parade in Manea
- Credit: Archant
Manea Gala promised much and delivered more with a parade and day of fun that catapulted the village into a knock out of a carnival, according to the organising committee.
Chairman Kevin Keil said the gala was: “One of the most successful days in recent years with great weather and a really good turn out.
“Hard working committee members spent months preparing for this and need to be congratulated for a great event,” he said.
The gala was opened by super featherweight Chatteris boxer Jordan Gill who stayed for the day getting involved in some of the children’s races and generally being a great positive role model celebrity, said Mr Keil.
“He was a great person to have at the gala and really helped make the day,” he added.
Winning float was the entry by parents of Year 6 children at Manea School, with Queen Lucy Johns and Prince Rauri Cox.
Second was Manea Guides with their 100 year of guiding float and third place went to the Allotment Association.

National Highway Authority of India in a statement said toll collection across the country through FASTag touched Rs 103.54 crore, with 63.09 lakh transactions on July 1, 2021.
Motorists were shocked by the 'double' collection of toll fee only after one particular person who noticed the mischief started questioning the staff manning the toll plaza on Sunday.
Under the goods and services tax (GST) regime, e-way bills have been made mandatory for inter-state transportation of goods valued over Rs 50,000 from April 2018.
India has made a significant progress on retail payment systems such as UPI, RuPay, BHIM, NACH, IMPS, Fastag, BBPS, *99#, CTS & AePS
The government said that it did not make FASTag mandatory overnight and had given incentives, including a 10 to 25 per cent cashback to users from 2016 to 2020.
FASTags, which facilitate electronic payment of fee at toll plazas, was introduced in 2016.
It had clocked a revenue of Rs 330 crore in the corresponding quarter last fiscal, it said in a statement.
Notably, category 'M' stands for a motor vehicle with at least four wheels used for carrying passengers, while category 'N' stands for a motor vehicle with at least four wheels used for carrying goods
This collaboration enables Google Pay users to order, track and even recharge ICICI Bank FASTag digitally on the payments platform itself.

On December 9, 2018, the Halogaland bridge was inaugurated near Narvik in Norway in the presence of Erna Solberg, Prime Minister of Norway and Wang Min, Chinese Ambassador to Oslo.
With a total length of 1533 meters, it is Norway’s second longest bridge and the longest bridge North of the Arctic Circle. This bridge is very important because it crosses the Rombaken fjord and so shortens the European road E6.
This bridge was built in collaboration with the Chinese company “Sichuan Road and Bridge Group” (四川 路桥) that produced some steel parts (including cables); this bridge symbolizes the shared interest of Norway and China in developing together an Arctic corridor to the “Belt and Road initiative.
In spring 2017, members of the Norwegian government had expressed some interest in the new Silk Roads, particularly in a possible Polar route. Several Norwegian shipping companies expressed their willingness to develop cooperation with China on the new Silk Roads. For Oslo, the construction of an Arctic route, connecting northern Europe with China, is an opportunity to develop its northernmost regions.
The Arctic Corridor would also boost cooperation between Norway, Russia and Finland. In northeastern Norway, Kirkenes, a usually ice-free port, could be connected to the Finnish rail network. In a statement issued in March 2018, the Finnish Transport Minister Anne Berner announced the study of the construction of a possible railway line connecting Rovaniemi in Finland to Kirkenes in Norway. To complete this project, Finland and Norway would need to invest about 2, 9 billion euros. North Scandinavia may become a major hub of the new Silk Roads. However, Norway, Sweden and Finland would then have to work together to maintain this region in its present pristine state and preserve its natural resources.
Further cooperation projects between China and the northern states of Europe would follow the construction of this new bridge in Narvik.

Pakistan is famed for its love of tea, and tea shops, also known as chai dhabas, are frequently seen on streets and by the sides of roads. Even with the COVID-19 outbreak, Pakistanis still rely heavily on tea as a beverage. However, the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics reports that the country’s tea imports fell by 46% in February 2023, from $49.19 million to $28.19 million.
Kenya continues to be Pakistan’s top tea exporter, sending $22.3 million worth of tea there in February after sending $42.8 million in January. In 2020, Pakistan purchased over 170,830 metric tonnes of tea, with Kenya, Sri Lanka, and India serving as its main suppliers.
The demand for tea is anticipated to continue strong in Pakistan over the next few years, despite the drop in imports, which may be cause for concern. Pakistanis still rely heavily on tea as a daily beverage and as a fundamental component of their culture and traditions.
Despite a fall in tea imports, Pakistanis’ passion for tea endures. The demand for tea in Pakistan is predicted to increase in the next years, and tea will continue to be a key beverage.

“Bonjoureen”. That’s a double “hello” from Beirut, where the Arabic language fuses with French in the most wonderful way. Lebanon’s capital city, home to roughly two million people, is loud and proud – a place where you must speak up to be heard.
Since its independence from France in 1943, the small country, which sits at the crossroads of the Mediterranean Basin and the Arabian hinterland, continues to embrace its former colonial master’s ‘joie de vivre’.
Cocktail bars, artistic cafes and stylish restaurants have made it back with vengeance after the country’s devastating civil war (1975 to 1990) and conflict with Israel (2006) destroyed its capital’s infrastructure.
Beirut – and its infectious beeping horns – is a city that will constantly surprise you.
Lebanon is still very much a patriarchal society, with deeply-rooted ideas about gender similar to its neighbours in the Middle East. I never felt unsafe as a solo female traveller but I did have a hard time persuading the immigration officer why I would visit the country alone. “You want to make tourism by yourself? You don’t know anyone in Lebanon? This your first time?” he asked repeatedly until muttering a reluctant “welcome”.
Fortunately, the rest of the men I met on my trip where much more pleased to see me. From the ever cheerful security guard at my hotel in downtown Beirut to the taxi drivers who offered me cigarettes and were happy to converse in a mix of Arabic and English, I experienced the warm Arab hospitality I had dreamed of.
I arrived in Lebanon the day after the country’s first election in nine years and was greeted with the sight of hundreds of campaign posters featuring the giant faces of middle-aged male candidates plastered above highways and homes
Only six women were elected into parliament out of 128 seats. Although small gains are being made, equal rights are a long way off. As the Middle East Eye explained after the election result: “How to regulate marriage, divorce, child custody or inheritance are all left to religious bodies which run the country’s 18 officially recognised sects. As a result, women often don’t have the same rights as men.”
Iran-backed Shia militia group Hezbollah won a small majority in the elections at the expense of Sunni prime minister, Saad Hariri, whose authority was weakened by a relatively poor turnout at the polls. Among the 3.6 million eligible voters, only 49.2 percent took part.
Hezbollah’s gains are unsurprising in a country struggling to cope with hosting at least one million refugees from Syria to its east and the threat of another potential war with Israel to its south. Dozens of countries in the West are shifting towards nationalist politics so why would little Lebanon, with a long history of being invaded, feel any different?
Despite Hezbollah flag-toting supporters firing off celebratory gunfire and riding mopeds through the streets of Beirut on Monday night, the threat of serious clashes was soon suppressed by the Lebanese army who enforced a 72-moped ban on the city.
Soldiers and checkpoints are a common sight on most street corners in Beirut and have a reassuring presence. One local told me she believes Lebanon is safer than a lot of European countries now as it’s more prepared for trouble and can respond quicker.
Hezbollah may have increased its political clout in Lebanon but Sunni Prime Minister Hariri, who last year mysteriously stepped down while on a trip to Saudi Arabia only to rescind his resignation on his return to Lebanon, will keep his seat. A power-sharing system put in place when the civil war ended in 1990 sees the country’s three most powerful positions allocated along sectarian lines: a Maronite Christian holds the presidency, a Shia Muslim is the speaker of the parliament and a Sunni gets the prime ministership.
If the buzz of the city, friendly people, delicious food and the multi-cultural mix of districts don’t get you hooked on Lebanon, its history will.
Beirut is one of the oldest cities in the world, inhabited more than 5,000 years ago, and the earliest evidence of civilisation in the country dates back more than seven thousand years.
In the ancient town of Byblos, around 40 minutes drive from Beirut, I walked among the ruins of a Phoenician city, Roman theatre and Crusader fortress, all originally uncovered by French archaeologists.
In Harissa, a gondola ride took me 550 meters above sea level, to an important Lebanese pilgrimage site, Our Lady of Lebanon. And in Jeita, I walked inside incredible limestone caves, the longest in the Middle East, formed over millions of years.
Three days was not long enough to see the rest of the treasures Lebanon has to offer. There’s no doubt I’ll be back.

Rabat - Several Moroccan cities saw their voter participation rates increase in the first half of Friday, as citizens flock to voting centers to fulfill their civic duty.
Rabat – Several Moroccan cities saw their voter participation rates increase in the first half of Friday, as citizens flock to voting centers to fulfill their civic duty.
The October 7th national legislative elections will determine the country’s Head of Government for the next five years, as outlined by the 2011 constitution.
The electoral participation rate in the Oujda-Anjad prefecture of the Oriental Region rose by 3.22 percent in the early morning hours of Friday’s election day, compared to figures from the same time period last election cycle, according to a local election official quoted by Hespress.
A total of 60 candidates are competing for four seats in the House of Representatives that have been allocated for the prefecture.
The 319 voting centers in Casablanca, the most populated city in Morocco, also saw a marked increase in voters compared to the last legislative elections.
“The initial voter participation rate between the time polls opened this morning and 10:30 a.m. increased around six percent in Casablanca, compared to figures from the same timeframe in the 2011 elections,” a local official said.
A group of Casablanca’s party officials from the government and opposition parties predict that turnout could increase up to 37 percent compared to last year’s elections, in which regional positions faced the scrutiny of voters.
Casablancans are tasked with voting for 26 representatives in the national legislature, choosing from just under 450 candidates.
Police forces stand guard at voting centers all over the kingdom, ensuring that election rules are followed and that citizens can cast their vote in a safe environment.

KUALA LUMPUR -- Don't let their relatively modest market capitalizations fool you: Some Southeast Asian companies have been making massive profit strides.
These businesses have ridden the economic growth that has swept across the region, partly aided by the easing-fed flood of liquidity in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. While their market values may look small by global standards, their profit growth rates are brisk enough to awe the world's big boys.
One of them is little-known Hong Fok of Singapore, which topped our ranking of net profit growth over the last four years. Hong Fok is a niche property developer that excels at maximizing landholdings in prime areas. Last year, its profit was lifted by a pair of redevelopment projects in the city center -- a condominium and a hotel. Land revaluations on the properties also provided a boost.
Similarly, Indonesia's Bumi Serpong Damai has seen its net profit septuple since 2010. A property arm of Sinar Mas Group, the company is developing a 60-sq.-km township called BSD City on the outskirts of Jakarta. The area will feature hotels, malls and offices -- and be home to some 160,000 residents.
Developers like Bumi Serpong Damai have benefited from surging regional land prices in recent years. In 2013, the group's net profit more than doubled on the year to 2.6 trillion rupiah ($212 million). This was mainly thanks to returns on a land sale to a joint venture with Hongkong Land, a unit of Jardine Matheson group, and Japan's Aeon Mall.
Still, property values alone do not explain Bumi Serpong's success. Its strategy of catering to both lower and upper income segments has won over individuals and businesses alike.
Vietnam's Vingroup focuses on the high end of the property market -- and in just 12 years has become a leader. It handles retail, hospitality and apartment developments, with a mix of projects in urban and resort areas. Analysts note that the group accounted for nearly 70% of the total market value of all property stocks listed in Vietnam as of June, putting a wide gap between the company and its rivals.
Not content with that edge, Vingroup recently entered the retail business by acquiring Ocean Mart Retail, a supermarket operator. Plans call for opening 100 supermarkets and 1,000 convenience stores across the country over the next three years. Vingroup also bought a 10% stake in Vinatex, a state-linked textile company that was listed recently.
Over in the Philippines, major real estate developer Ayala Land's net profit in 2013 was double the figure four years earlier. Property development as well as commercial leasing drove the gains. The company is a subsidiary of Ayala Corp., a conglomerate with interests in banking, telecommunications, infrastructure and business process outsourcing.
Paths to success
Land is hardly the only source of profit in the region. Commodities prices, though volatile, have also worked some magic.
Consider Sime Darby, a Malaysian conglomerate that deals in palm oil -- a commodity used in food, detergents and biodiesel. When crude oil prices rise, some users turn to plant-based oils as alternatives. Sure enough, this phenomenon pushed up palm oil prices a few years ago -- and Sime Darby's profit. Although, in the past two fiscal years, the price trajectory has reversed and Sime Darby's revenue has declined, its net profit for the year ended June was still triple the result for the year through June 2010.
Since the palm oil business is cyclical, Sime Darby is undeterred by weak demand from major buyers such as China and India. Eventually, there should be a rebound. Already the world's largest producer of the oil, the company plans to add plantation land in Papua New Guinea to its holdings in Malaysia, Indonesia and Liberia.
Harnessing the power of diversification has helped companies like Alliance Global Group mitigate risks and rake in profits. Alliance Global started as a glass manufacturer but branched out into property development, the food and beverage industry and the gaming business. The Philippine group owns Emperador Brandy, which ranks among the global leaders in its market segment. The distiller says it sold 400 million bottles in Asia, including the Middle East, in 2013.
Resorts World Manila, Alliance Global's hospitality business, has also been a steady earner. It runs a casino resort in collaboration with Malaysia's Genting.
Meanwhile, as Southeast Asian personal incomes increase, consumers can afford to be more health conscious. One company that has capitalized on this is Vietnam Dairy Products, also known as Vinamilk. It has cornered roughly half of Vietnam's liquid milk market through a network of over 200,000 retailers.
The country's economic growth has been relatively sluggish of late, dampening consumer sentiment, and Vinamilk CEO Mai Kieu Lien said recently that the company's profit for 2014 may decline. Nevertheless, she stressed that Vinamilk maintains a significant lead over domestic rivals and those in neighboring countries.
To raise production and keep prices in check, the group plans to add four dairy farms by 2015. Vinamilk is currently building a dairy factory in Cambodia, one of its major export markets, through a joint venture. It has also invested in milk producers in New Zealand and the U.S. By 2017, the company hopes to achieve $3 billion in sales and take a place among the world's top 50 dairy businesses.
The power of power
Utilities with long-term supply contracts have also racked up gains. The Philippines' Aboitiz Power has seen steady revenue growth over the past three years. The group is one of the country's biggest power generators with about 2,700 megawatts of capacity.
Aboitiz's competitor, Manila Electric, recorded a 5% on-year increase in net income to 14.31 billion pesos ($318 million) for the first nine months of this year. Commercial clients accounted for a large portion of the growth. Also known as Meralco, the company is the largest electricity distributor for Metro Manila, serving a quarter of the country's population.
Malaysia's YTL, originally a construction company, now derives about 80% of its sales from utility operations. Subsidiary YTL Power International is a leading electricity provider in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia. The group also owns Wessex Water, a water and sewerage company in the U.K.
Nikkei staff writers Mayuko Tani in Singapore, Cliff Venzon in Manila, Wataru Suzuki in Jakarta and Atsushi Tomiyama in Hanoi contributed to this story.

Today, Securitize announced it created a Japanese real estate investment platform using digital securities in collaboration with LIFULL and LIFULL Social Funding. Securitize is the tokenization firm backed by Sony Financial Ventures, Nomura and MUFG. The new project aims to promote real estate crowdfunding using blockchain.
Japan-based real estate information services provider LIFULL is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange with a market capitalization of $470 million. LIFULL has about 14 different affiliated businesses and subsidiaries that serve the Japanese real estate market. One of them, LIFULL Home, is not dissimilar to Zillow.
Two other subsidiaries focus on rural Japan. LIFULL Revitalize says one in three rural houses will be abandoned by 2033 and focuses on refurbishment. And LIFULL Social Funding is targeted at regional revitalization by encouraging investment in rural homes, which is the aim of the Securitize project.
LIFULL initiated the development of the real estate crowdfunding platform in collaboration with blockchain consultancy BUIDL. The latter was acquired by Securitize late last year to accelerate security token development in the country.
In a trial, the companies were able to reduce operational costs for funding real estate projects using the blockchain platform. Smart contracts enabled automation of security token distribution, dividend payments and redemption of securities. Investors and third-parties were able to view the flow of funds and tokens on a public blockchain.
“Our collaborative success in creating a comprehensive platform solution for crowdfunded real estate funds is very exciting, and it is a great start for Securitize and LIFULL as we work to modernize the Japanese real estate market together,” said Carlos Domingo, CEO and Co-founder of Securitize.
Securitize has developed a compliance platform for tokenized securities. The blockchain solution, called DS Protocol, enables trading of security tokens on secondary marketplaces.
Many companies around the globe are exploring real estate tokenization. Another Japanese real estate firm, Lead Real Estate, is using blockchain to fund construction of condominiums and hotels ahead of the Japanese Olympics 2020. Securitize is providing the technology for this initiative.
In Korea, SK Securities is working with Kasa Korea to develop a platform for tokenizing real estate. Meanwhile, German real estate developer Bauwens invested in Fundament Group, potentially giving the latter access to €6.7 billion worth of real estate projects in Germany.
Japanese firms are increasingly exploring blockchain for securities and tokenization. A few months ago, the Security Token Offering Association was launched by Monex, SBI Securities, kabu.com Securities, Daiwa Securities, Nomura Securities and Rakuten Securities. The consortium is working on developing standards for fundraising through security token issuance.

As our third month in Lisbon started, we took the first of two extended road trips we had planned. For this one, we'd be spending five days south of the capital, in and around Setubal, Portugal's third-largest city. Before arriving there, we made a pit-stop in Palmela, a small village in the hills.
The Teatro Nacional São Carlos has been staging operas, ballets and concerts since it was built in 1793. It's survived the centuries in remarkable shape, managing to evade the disasters which ravaged the rest of the city, and looks almost the same as it did on opening day.

Senior Congress politician Shashi Tharoor says that it will be “difficult” for the BJP to win another election in 2024 like it did in 2019, and it is “possible” that the ruling party could lose “50 seats” in the Lok Sabha.
Even though he agrees that the BJP is the most powerful party, the lawmaker from Thiruvananthapuram said at the Kerala Literature Festival on Friday that the party has lost a number of states and it is not impossible that they could lose control of the federal government.
“If you consider how well they (the BJP) performed in 2019, they essentially won every seat in Haryana, Gujarat, and Rajasthan; or all but one seat in Bihar, MP, and Maharashtra; and 18 seats in Bengal.
During a session titled ‘India@75: A Walk Through the Democratic Institutions,’ Tharoor claimed, “Now, it is hard to replicate such results, and the BJP falling below the majority in 2024 is entirely conceivable.”
The 66-year-old called the Pulwama attacks and the Balakot strike, which he said caused a “huge wave” at the last minute, a “freak” that won’t happen again in 2024. He also said that the BJP could lose 50 seats and the opposition parties could gain seats.
Still, he said it is “hard to tell” if the opposition parties, which Tharoor thinks would take the BJP’s place as the most powerful party, will stay together.
“If the BJP has 250 seats and the other parties have 290, will the 290 parties agree, or will the BJP be able to select 20 here and 10 there from parties that want favours from the central government of the day in order to create the government?” We have no idea,” he stated.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP won 303 of 543 seats, while the Congress won only 52.
Tharoor, while agreeing that dynasticism in a democracy is a “problem,” stated that those who single out his party should also look at the rest of the country while discussing the challenges India faces after 75 years of independence.
He said that, with the exception of the Communists and the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), strangely on opposite ends of the political spectrum, every other party appears to be dominated by dynastic politics.
“When we raise the finger and say ‘Congress dynasty,’ you see Mulayam Singh (Yadav) is succeeded by his son, Lalu Prasad Yadav is succeeded by his son, his son succeeds Karunanidhi, Bal Thackeray is succeeded by his son, Sharad Pawar… “He is present, but his daughter and nephew are his apparent heirs,” he stated.
The Kerala Literature Festival is said to be one of the biggest literary events in Asia. It brings together a wide range of literary and cultural giants, such as Nobel laureates, Booker Prize-winning authors, senior politicians, historians, movie stars, diplomats, and artists.
Booker Prize winner Shehan Karunatilaka, Nobel laureates Ada Yonath and Abhijit Banerjee, American indologist Wendy Doniger, actor Kamal Haasan, children’s novelist Sudha Murty, and renowned vocalist Usha Uthup are on the roster of speakers.


Final Fantasy XV might just be an action-RPG
There are rumblings that Final Fantasy XV might depart from the series traditional turn-based RPG format and adopt an action approach to combat.
The producer of Final Fantasy XIII-2, Yoshinori Kitase explained that he believes it is time that the series should present something new to fans with every new title and that the popularity of the action-RPG genre was a trend that shouldn't be ignored.
He said: "I think the nature of the franchise is to present something new each time. In the global market we see many players moving away from games that used turn-based systems toward what you might term an action-RPG. That's a trend, and you ignore things like that at your peril."
Kitase-san continued: "FFXIII and FFXIII-2's battle systems have those elements of speed and action that are the key words for us, though that doesn't necessarily mean we're going to stick to the same route in our next game. That's something only time can tell."

What’s this blog about?
I’m a photographer, family man and academic. In my younger days I used to write and perform. Cultural studies, selfconsciousness and family pushed that aside. Since then I’ve been on a different journey, raising kids, working and dealing with day to day stuff. And it isn’t like that journey has ended. I’m still very busy, very happy and very focused on my work. But I also feel like it’s time to turn outwards with my creativity once more.
This blog will be do a few things for me, and hopefully for you. This is a gateway to my gallery, brenmurphy.com.au. It’s a place for my rambling about photography – among other things I’m very interested in lo-fi or “toy” cameras. It will also be a place for me to discuss and try out ideas relating to my research, which is increasingly focusing on contemporary photographic practice.

Not my words, and in early example of how easily truth can become distorted, nobody really knows who invented them. But they ring as true today as ever.
I try to stay out of politics, but I can’t stay out of humanity. Our generation has a lot to answer for: global warming. Plastic pollution. Knight Rider and people eating kangaroo testicles as entertainment. But the one judgement that will be written about long after we are all dead is that in the heart of Europe, in the 21st century, women and children died from high explosives in the name of nothing more than one man’s ego. The name Putin will join Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot in the roster of those who cared far less about their fellow humans than their own power and vainglory. Yet what disappoints me are the brands that are “suspending” sales to Russia; the “temporary” cessations, as if the blood can ever be washed clean.
Let us teach our children the lessons that we apparently forgot: that lies are easy, and truth is hard; that peace is slow to win and quick to lose, that you can’t make deals with the Devil and expect to pay no price.

A former aide to ex-Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland filed paperwork at the Federal Election Commission to establish a new Columbus-based Super PAC called "Ohioans for Opportunity."
The new Super PAC "intends to raise funds in unlimited amounts" to make independent campaign expenditures, according to documents its treasurer filed on Feb. 14.
"This committee will not use those funds to make contributions, whether direct, in-kind or via coordinated communications to federal candidates or committees," said the filing from attorney Jeffrey A. Ruppert of Columbus.
The website for Ruppert's law practice says he spent four years as a deputy legal counsel and operations advisor for Strickland, and also worked for a variety of national, state and local political campaigns, as well as former U.S. Sen. John Glenn. All his past employers appear to have been Democrats.
In 2006, Ruppert ran as a Democrat for a Cincinnati area state legislative seat that was won by Republican Shannon Jones. Ruppert did not respond to an email and phone calls seeking more information about the newly formed Super PAC.
Technically known as independent expenditure-only committees, Super PACs can raise unlimited amounts from corporations, unions and individuals and spend unlimited amounts to influence elections. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Super PACS have spent nearly $50 million so far to sway this year's elections. They have played a major role in this year's GOP presidential primary.

Sevilla will bring an 'energetic, enterprising and physical' style of football to Anfield on Wednesday, with new boss Eduardo Berizzo having made his team tough to beat since his arrival in the summer.
That’s according to Spanish football expert Rob Palmer, who has given us a comprehensive lowdown on Liverpool’s first group-stage opponents in this season’s Champions League.
“A lot’s changed for Liverpool since the 2016 Europa League final in Basel, and there’s been quite a big turnaround in Spain for Sevilla too,” Palmer, a La Liga commentator for Sky Sports, explains in the latest edition of #LFCWORLD.
“They’ve had managerial departures, most of the team has left too, there’s been a lot of outgoings, a lot of incomings and it’s going to be a completely different Andalusian side that’s going to be travelling to Liverpool.”
Read on for Palmer’s in-depth analysis of Sevilla, who have taken seven points from their opening three league games of the season and, like Liverpool, qualified for the Champions League group phase through the play-offs.
On their 2016-17 campaign…
Unai Emery was always going to be a big act to follow and they brought in Jorge Sampaoli. This little bulldog of a manager came in and you never quite knew what you were going to get with him - sometimes he’d play defensive football, sometimes he’d play attacking football. They were brilliant and at one point they were challenging for the top two, playing in the Champions League as well, but Sampaoli was asked by the Argentinian FA to become the national team manager and he said that when your country comes calling, you’ve got to take the job.
But it all went horribly wrong then, they went out of the Champions League, they lost their momentum and it all kind of just fell apart and meandered into nothing at the end of the season.
He’s another Argentinian, he was a no-nonsense central defender in his day for Argentina. He’s served his apprenticeship in South America as well as a manager [and] he came to Celta Vigo last year. Celta are a team and a club that are not unlike Sevilla [although] they’ve got slightly less of a budget and he’s taken the step up from a good club, a good mid-table club that does well in Europe, to a top-four club. Things aren’t going to change [at Sevilla]; I’d imagine the style of football’s going to be similar. They’re going to be an energetic, tall, physical team.
On this season…
It’s been an unspectacular start to the season, they kind of limped into the Champions League against Istanbul Basaksehir and on the opening night of the season they drew against Espanyol. They had a tough game against Getafe and won 1-0 [and then defeated Eibar 3-0 on Saturday] so it’s been neat and steady. If you look at the results in Europe and domestically, [Berizzo] has got them defending well.
On their summer signings…
They’ve brought in Muriel from Sampdoria, Kjaer from Fenerbahce, he’s some player. Ever Banega’s come back, he played in the Europa League final against Liverpool, [they’ve got] Nolito from Manchester City, who’s been brilliant in Spain, they’ve got Pizarro from Tigres who they’ve been chasing for a while, they’ve got Jesus Navas back from City. Navas is a hero, a son of the city, and about 10,000 fans turned out when he came back to town and it’ll lift his game being in the colours of Sevilla.
They’ve signed a couple on loan too - Lionel Carole and Johannes Geis - so I think that’s eight players who have come in [and] eight players have gone out. They won’t really have weakened the team or strengthened the team. It’ll be the same old Sevilla - or the same new Sevilla, depending on how you want to look at it.
On Wednesday’s game…
It’ll be the same formula they had in the Europa League - keep it tight away from home, defend, frustrate and if you can quieten Anfield, which isn’t easy to do, and then rely on what you can do when you get back home. If they’re going to come and win at Anfield they’re going to win 1-0, they’re going to rely on a corner or a free-kick routine or something because they’re a big, very, very tall team.
But of course we do know that Jürgen Klopp has got an unbelievable record at Anfield, especially when it comes to European football. European nights, it’s a cliche but it’s also true that they are so special; at Anfield you’re not just facing the team, you’re facing the manager, who fires himself up for the occasion, you’re facing the supporters and you’re taking on history as well.
So Sevilla have got all of that coming up against them, but they’re going to be energetic, they’re going to be enterprising. It’s early in their season [but] they haven’t had midweek games yet, which is always a problem for the Spanish teams. Plus it’s getting a little bit cold in September, that might be against them because Seville is the hottest city in Europe. So hopefully it’s a cold, rainy night at Anfield and the Liverpool supporters make it really uncomfortable and Jürgen Klopp keeps up his incredible record in Europe.

1954: Elvis Presley records Blue Moon of Kentucky at Sun Studio in Memphis, TN. The tune was written in 1946 by bluegrass musician Bill Monroe. The song was the B-side to That’s All Right, Elvis’ first single that was released on July 19 that year. That’s All Right was written by blues singer by Arthur Crudup in 1946. In 1950, Crudup also wrote one of my favorite songs performed by Elvis, My Baby Left Me.
1955: The rock & roll classic Rock Around the Clock is released by Bill Haley & His Comets, a no. 1 single and their biggest hit. Max C. Freedman and James E. Myers wrote the tune in 1952. What I’ve always liked about Bill Haley’s version are the fantastic guitar and sax solos by Franny Beecher and Joey Ambrose, respectively.
1959: Simple Minds lead singer James “Jim” Kerr is born in Glasgow, Scotland. Jim started his music career in 1977 with the punk rock band Johnny and the Self Abusers. In November 1977, the band changed its name to Simple Minds. Their first album, Life in a Day, came out in April 1979. I’m mostly familiar with the band’s work from the 80s. Some of my favorite songs from that period include Waterfront (1983), Don’t You Forget About Me (1985), Alive and Kicking (1985), Sanctify Yourself (1986) and Belfast Child (1989). Jim continues to record and perform with the Simple Minds, which released their 16th studio album Big Music in 2014.
1962: Bob Dylan records the iconic Blowin’ In the Wind at Columbia Recording Studios in New York City. It also happens to be one of the first folk songs I learned when starting to play the guitar.
1966: A closet rocker who shall remain unnamed is born. He once played in a band with big ambitions. While a professional career in music didn’t work out, which perhaps was for the better, music changed his life. He continues to be a huge rock music fan to this day.
1969: The Beatles record Maxwell’s Silver Hammer at Abbey Road Studios in London. The song was written and sung by Paul McCartney, though like most Beatles songs, it was credited to Lennon-McCartney. Written in October 1968, the tune was initially planned to be on the White Album. Instead it became the third song on the A-side of Abbey Road.
1971: David Bowie starts recording sessions at Trident Studios in London for The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. It was his fifth studio album and features some of my favorite Bowie songs, including Starman, Ziggy Stardust, Suffragette City and Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide.
1983: Every Breath You Take by The Police hits no. 1 on the U.S. singles charts where it would stay for eight weeks and become the biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles in 1983.Written by Sting and included in the band’s 1983 album Synchronicity, it was also a no. 1 single for four weeks in the UK. Andy Summers’ signature guitar sound on the song became widely sampled thereafter.

In the novella the pearl by john steinbeck, kino, the protagonist, is most certainly a hero because he is a courageous man who does what he can for his family and his people kino is a native man who is living in poverty in mexico with juana, his hardworking and loving wife, coyotito, his very young son. In the book the pearl by john steinbeck, he tries to show the effect of family and tries to instinguish the social injustice, by using the doctor as a prime example by the way he treats those of a different race such as kino and his wife. The pearl by john steinbeck - the pearl by john steinbeck is the story of a poor mexican pearl diver who attempts to sell the pearl he found in order to pay for the medical treatment of his son, coyotito, who was bitten by a scorpion. Just like the pearl was a kind of seed embedded in the oyster, so now are kino's dreams of a new life embedded in his psyche because of the pearl tweet steinbeck john.
The pearl, john ernst steinbeck (1902 - 1968) the pearl is a novella by american author john steinbeck, first published in 1947 it is the story of a pearl diver, kino, and explores man's nature as well as greed, defiance of societal norms, and evil. The pearl (book) : steinbeck, john : there it lay, the great pearl, perfect as the moon like his father and grandfather before him, kino is a poor diver, gathering pearls from the gulf beds that once brought great wealth to the kings of spain and now provide kino, juana, and their infant son with meager subsistence. The pearl study guide contains a biography of john steinbeck, quiz questions, major themes, characters, and a full summary and analysis. Juana prayed that they might find a pearl which would supply the money they needed to hire the doctor to cure coyotito juana did not directly pray for the baby but it was a variation of that i support juana's decision because she showed her sympathy and determination to help coyotito by going to the doctor in chapter one.
The pearl literary conflict john steinbeck man vs self man vs society no money, no treatment man vs man when kino and his family lose their home, they. John ernst steinbeck jr (/ ˈ s t aɪ n b ɛ k / february 27, 1902 - december 20, 1968) was an american authorhe won the 1962 nobel prize in literature for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humour and keen social perception. The pearl ~ unit outline and due dates ~ a d money can provide happiness 5) a d we control our own lives 6) a d fate, destiny, or another force we cannot. Juana, the priest, and the doctor have all undergone a change due to money they are all affected by their hunger for wealth and inturn are the base for their own destruction, and the destruction of society.
The pearl buyers in the movie ultimately offer kino 2,000 pesos for the pearl, but in the novella kino is offered the best price of 1,500 pesos in the movie, kino kills three men smashing his boat, while in the novella kino kills one man after an attempt to rob him of the pearl. Glimpsed in the author's telling of a mexican folk tale in the log from the sea of cortez, published in 1951 but chronicling a 1940 expedition, the pearl (1947) by john steinbeck (1902-1968) is an alternate version of the traditional story. John steinbeck the pearl plot diagram the pearl exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution exposition conflict rising action the story. Steinbeck is trying to show destruction will begin once kino finds that pearl steinbeck is putting the action of the story into full motion, in a sense with the discovery of that pearl steinbeck is putting the action of the story into full motion, in a sense with the discovery of that pearl.
This quotation is steinbeck's epigraph to the pearl in introducing his novella as a legend (he first heard the legend of the pearl of the world in a mexican village), steinbeck sets the tone for the story. The principal conflict in john steinbeck's the pearl is that most of the time, lazy students do not read it because they would rather im their friends all night this causes conflict when the assignment is due and they haven't done the required reading. John steinbeck was the third of four children and the only son born to john ernst and olive hamilton steinbeck his father was county treasurer and his mother, a former schoolteacher john graduated from salinas high school in 1919 and attended classes at stanford university, leaving in 1925 without a degree.


Open Path Gas Detector Simultaneously Detects Methane and Hydrogen Sulfide Gas
Senscient’s ELDS Series 2000 H2S+CH4 open path gas detector (OPGDs) features the company’s Enhanced Laser Diode Spectroscopy (ELDS) technology for increased sensitivity, simultaneous multi-gas detection capability and remote electronic functionality confirmation. Senscient’s ELDS Series Open Path Gas Detectors (OPGDs) feature false-alarm free, low ppm detection of both flammable and toxic gases.
Using a separate transmitter and receiver configuration, ELDS Series 2000 dual laser systems measure a Harmonic Fingerprint introduced onto the transmitter’s laser beams by absorption of the target gases in the monitored path. It is the Harmonic Fingerprint technology combined with other features that enable ELDS detectors to eliminate false alarms from non-target gases such as organic surfactants, diesel fumes, oil mist and other environmental factors such as rain and snow that bedevil other gas detectors in the market.
The ELDS OPGD detectors also feature SimuGas, a remote detector testing and auto data-logging technology that eliminates the need to physically access individual gas detectors in the field or handle hazardous gas cylinders to perform functional testing.
Senscient’s ELDS OPGD gas detectors are the only open path detectors with both FM Global and ATEX Electrical Safety Approvals and Performance Certifications. ELDS Series detectors meet and exceed the requirements of the leading gas detection safety standards for offshore oil drilling platforms, FPSO’s, onshore petrochemical facilities and oil refineries around the world.
