With a bulging working population, it is critical for ASEAN member states to maintain a healthy job growth rate. This in part should be helped by the fact that many of the Southeast Asian countries have in recent times showcased strong economic performance. A recent Mckinsey study showed how many of the developing economies in the region are some of the worlds most outperforming emerging economies. They include the "long-term outperformers" comprising Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, which averaged at least 3.5 percent annual per capita gross domestic product (GD) growth over 50 years. Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam also made the cut as "recent outperformers" by clocking 5 percent annual growth over 20 years.
For a region that would soon have a collective labor market size comparable to China and India, such news holds positive implications for the region. A strong performing economy, given the right policy framework, should lead to job growth and an increased avenue for job seekers to have access to well-paying jobs.
And this has been the case across many countries in Southeast Asia. Entering 2019, many expect the hiring prospects to remain high across major trade centers in the region. The Salary Survey by Robert Walters pegged a rise in hiring intent across the region. Owing to the constant GDP growth and the onset of new technologies and newer means to work, chiefly within the area of digital and IT functions would mean that job portfolios are going to further diversify leading to spur in demand for qualified talent within such job areas.
The survey also highlighted how such a rise in hiring numbers in 2019 is not necessarily the same across this part of the continent. The survey noted that robust growth in maturing ASEAN economies such as Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam are expected to continue, as multinational companies and foreign direct investment continue to drive stiff competition for skilled and experienced talent. In comparison, hiring in Singapore and Malaysia will remain stable and modest, as companies seek greater productivity through the hiring of better-skilled professionals.
This discrepancy between countries in the region stems from the labor market size and qualification levels across such cohorts. Vietnam, for example, witnessed a rapid rise in manufacturing jobs as a result of the US-China trade was that started in 2018. As tariffs were imposed from both sides, many manufacturing companies chose to shift Vietnman, bringing in valuable capital and technology that helped create jobs for many in a country with one fastest growing working population in Southeast Asia. The rising wage cost in China also forced many to look at other Southeast Asian countries to shift their manufacturing bases, bringing in valuable jobs with them.
The digital economy
But beyond such economic fluctuations, a major force that sets too, both drive and disrupts, the jobs space in southeast Asia has increased the focus of technology and how much of the growth in the region can be attributed to the rise of a digital economy. The size of the internet economy in the region is projected to reach the size of $240 billion by 2025 according to a study done by Google and Temasek. This is means that as the region grows economically, the rise of a consumer base which is an active part of this internet economy would mean that more jobs are such fields are to be expected. In addition, IT specialists in the niche areas of cybersecurity, big data, and artificial intelligence remain in high demand, as well as digital experts beyond the technology sector are going to be in more demand, the Salary Survey observed.
The report also noticed that professionals with industrial experience across a range of roles, including engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, sales and marketing, finance and human resources, will be highly sought after as well, said Robert Walters. With a global talent shortage in key sectors, companies are evolving their hiring needs too to attract suitable specialists. As companies step up efforts to retain their top skilled talent by investing in training, offering benefits such as flexible working arrangements and providing attractive counter-offers, hiring managers are seeking innovative solutions to draw candidates.
Although Southeast Asia isn’t the first region that faced a shift in talent preferences due to change in technology, of it to truly leverage the benefit of its growing size of the internet economy, the response of the region would be crucial. Although the demand for technical jobs is on the rise, many also need to address the growing digital skills gap that the region is facing currently. A way many countries like Malaysia and Singapore have avoided such labor factors from becoming hindrances is to look for foreign talent. Although local talent will continue to be in demand, an increasing trend of businesses seeking out overseas expansion opportunities has propelled interest for local talent with international experience. This when combined with the need to upgrade skills points to future where although hiring might rise due to the strong performance of the region, accessing and securing such jobs might be the key challenge.

Gevrey regularity for the Vlasov--Poisson system
The importance of understanding high regularity solutions for the Vlasov--Poisson system has been underscored by the work on Landau damping of Mouhot and Villani, and several other follow ups. These works on Landau damping make use of the propagation in time of high order regularity in a perturbative regime around homogeneous stationary solutions of the Vlasov--Poisson system. In this talk, we prove a general result on propagation of Gevrey regularity for the Vlasov--Poisson system on $\T^d\times \R^d$ using a Fourier space method in analogy to results proved for the 2D-Euler system by Levermore--Oliver and Kukavica--Vicol. More precisely, we give quantitative estimates for the growth of the Gevrey norm and decay of the regularity radius for the solution of the system in terms of the force field and the volume of the momentum support of the distribution function. As an application, we show global existence of Gevrey solutions for the Vlasov--Poisson system in dimension three.

SANDERS' CONTRACT APPROVED -- AFTER GOOD POLICY MOVES
Published September 20, 1994
The NFL's management council approved Deion Sanders' contract with the 49ers, "thereby silencing critics of the signing." The announcement came after 49ers President Carmen Policy, "infuriated by reports of at least two clubs -- believed to be Dallas and Atlanta -- questioning the legitimacy of the move, contacted NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue on Monday morning and asked the league to move expeditiously in reviewing the contract" (Clark Judge, SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS, 9/20). At halftime on "Monday Night Football," Sanders responded to the rumor that Nike is "paying part of his contract" with the 49ers: "I really can't wait to see the check. I really don't understand how people can make accusations like that" (ABC, 9/19).

Now even Bob Mercer is finding whacky stuff in the Secretary of State's office. The dogged journalist finds what appears to be an attempt to rewrite the documentary timeline for Jason Gant's private consulting business, the Gant Group. First Mercer finds information listing the business's agent at the non-existent Pierre address of 666 Main. (Please, someone tell me the theocratic wing of the SDGOP will see the Mark of the Beast in Gant's devilry.) Then Mercer finds updated documents changing the agent to Gant himself at his real home address.
Gant says the weird address came from a "dummy document" that a local tech consultant used while working on the system. Reporter David Montgomery calls the dummy document a "minor embarrassment." The weirdest part to my eye is the chronology Mercer lays out:
Gant said the new documents were filed Wednesday and Thursday after the matter was brought to his attention Wednesday afternoon.
However, the chronology indicates that version of the story isn't accurate.
Time stamps on the two new documents filed Wednesday showed 2:09 p.m. That was before the first email was sent to Gant inquiring about the fictitious information. The email went at 3:38 p.m. [Bob Mercer, "Fictitious Data Linked to South Dakota Official," Aberdeen American News, 2012.06.26]
The passive voicw—was brought to his attention—leaves us to wonder who did the bringing, and what prompted them to do so. Could someone in the Secretary of State's office be sitting at the computer all day watching for certain users (journalists? bloggers? legislators? other troublemakers?) accessing certain documents? But if the Secretary of State's office were that attentive, why would they leave dummy documents online? It's almost as if they were leaving crumbs to chase our wild geese in different directions.
Meanwhile, Gant's Constitution Party challenger in the 2010 election, Lori Stacey, is jumping into the anti-Gant fracas. After she is finally going public with allegations of improper campaign contributions from Pat Powers to his patronizer Jason Gant. Stacey offers a lot of possiblies, mays, and passive voice, but incredibly, she and her supporters can't track down the substantiating screenshots they took on multiple computers.
Scott Ehrisman and commenters are scrambling to track the labyrinthine world of IP registration to figure out just where Pat Powers is hiding his continued management of the sputtering Dakota War College.
And just to top it off, Secretary Gant now suddenly has on file in the corporate database a slew of backfiled annual reports and an application for reinstatement from the Madison Community Foundation. I assume this means that the Secretary of State is recertifying a corporation that violated state law and its own by-laws.
Jason Gant's terribly, horrible, no-good, very bad summer continues....


New hydrogen-based leak-detection technology is helping automakers and their suppliers reduce costs and improve quality.
More than 1,000 leak tests are performed on the average car and its components before a vehicle rolls off a final assembly line and into a new-car showroom. Fuel, brake and other critical safety systems are tested multiple times for leaks, as well as driveline components, fluid containers and wheels.
More and more of these tests are conducted with hydrogen-based leak detectors, less expensive than helium-based systems and significantly better than more traditional water and pressure-decay methods.
The early detection of even the smallest leak with a hydrogen sensor can play a key role in reducing costs and improving customer satisfaction, according to Thomas Parker, the North American automotive sales manager for INFICON, a leading global supplier of leak-detection systems.
The sooner a leak can be identified the quicker it can be fixed or eliminated through improvements to the manufacturing process, Parker says.
"An automaker or its suppliers may know that an individual engine or transmission has a leak, but finding that proverbial needle in a system's haystack is the real challenge," notes Parker. "Our Sensistor Sentrac is one solution for quickly pinpointing a leak. It uses a maintenance-free microelectronic sensor that can focus 100 percent on detecting a safe hydrogen mixture that is injected into a component. "
Most manufacturers use basic air testing, also known as a pressure-decay test, to leak check engines and transmissions on a pass-fail basis. A more sophisticated helium or hydrogen "tracer" gas must then be used to pinpoint actual leak locations, although some manufacturers still use out-of-date water tests.
Engines, for example, often are pressure-tested on a pass-fail basis. Each subsystem -- oil, coolant and emissions -- is pressurized simultaneously at a test station. (Permissible leak rates may vary from 0.05-10.00 SCCM at pressures from 100-500 kPa depending on the test circuit.) In case of failure, each component then will need to be retested with tracer gas to identify exact leak locations.
Parker estimates that leaks requiring fixes or repairs are found on more than 25 percent of the engines and transmissions annually produced for cars, light trucks and commercial vehicles sold in North America.
Based in Redford, Mich., TrigTec is a company that recently introduced INFICON technology to improve engine and transmission testing. TrigTec provides test products on a global basis for powertrain and vehicle-assembly operations.
"In an effort to eliminate water testing and replace a less effective performing hydrogen leak tester, we decided to utilize INFICON's hydrogen-based technology last year," said Steve Kravis, TrigTec's owner and president. "Our Sensistor Sentrac leak detector provides much more accurate test results. Leaks can be detected more quickly and sniffer recovery times after pinpointing a leak are much shorter as well."
Wet testing also could be used to pinpoint leaks, but is considered out-of-date. The time required to visually locate "leak bubbles" created by a specialized soap and water mix, for example, would be excessive in today's rapid production environment.
There are a variety of other downsides to wet testing. Using a soap-and-water solution to coat an engine, then waiting for bubbles to form might take hours. It also requires line-of-sight visual verification. Large leaks also can blow away bubbles and cause a leak to be overlooked.
In addition, Parker points out that there is no way to reliably quantify leaks using soap bubbles. And water-soap solutions can lead to unsafe work conditions that can result in slip-and-fall accidents. Submerging a transmission or engine in a soap-and-water solution also can damage electrical sensors and cause rusting that might affect warranty costs.
Parker adds that many manufacturers are moving to a "no liquid policy" to prevent rusting as well as liquid damage to electrical parts. A hydrogen tracer-gas mixture is a much safer, dry method for detecting leaks.

’Rats return home for weekend
McBride Stadium will be bustling with ’Rats this weekend.
Richmond’s Prospect League team will play three games in two days on its home diamond, starting with Friday’s 7:05 p.m. first pitch opposite Springfield.
The RiverRats also have a Saturday doubleheader vs. Butler. Game 1 begins at 5:05 p.m. Both games will be seven innings.
“We don’t have any more overnights, so hopefully we can get some rest and have some shorter trips and just get on a roll,” said Richmond manager Tyler Lairson. “I’d like to see us be competitive at the end.”
Richmond has six home dates remaining, including July 30 vs. Champion City, Aug. 1 vs. West Virginia, Aug. 2 vs. Champion City and Aug. 4 vs. Lorain County for a doubleheader. The RiverRats won their latest home meeting, halting Champion City 9-4 on Tuesday.
“A lot of things happen in the last couple weeks with teams,” Lairson said. “I feel like, besides the Butler trip, we are probably playing the best we’ve played all year.
“I’d just like to keep that rolling, scrap and give ourselves a chance.”
The RiverRats moved into a tie for fourth place in the East Division after Tuesday’s victory.
Chillicothe won the East in the first half, with Quincy taking the West. The first half and second half winners of each division face off in the playoffs.
Richmond’s win over Champion City snapped a two-game skid for the ’Rats that saw them score one run over two games at Butler.
Richmond’s Ryan Leffel had two hits and three RBIs as the RiverRats took advantage of six errors by the Kings. Leffel is no stranger to the Prospect League. He played for Lorain County last year.
“We like playing here. I think we play a lot better here,” Leffel said of McBride Stadium. “It’s kind of nice when you have your home fans.”


Canadian researchers offer a new way of checking a woman's breast cancer risk in minutes with just droplets of blood or a sliver of breast tissue.
They introduced a new microchip device, which can measure levels of the hormone estrogen using far smaller samples than conventional methods, making it possible to quickly screen for breast cancer risk or check to see if breast cancer treatments are working.
"The new device is compatible with extremely small samples -- around 1,000 times smaller than the amount needed for conventional analyses," said Aaron Wheeler of the University of Toronto, whose study appears in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
The experimental device advances the notion of a so-called "lab on a chip" -- a device that shrinks down several lab functions onto a microchip.
Wheeler said other such tools rely on microchannels -- a series of interconnected, enclosed tubes -- but these cannot process tissue because they can clog up.
More than 400,000 women die from breast cancer globally every year.
Being able to directly test breast tissue could lead to faster test results, Wheeler said.
Wheeler said the device is still in the research phase. "We're looking for funding to work on building a prototype and moving this into commercialization," he said."We're anticipating within the next five years a product based on this technology will become available,"he added.
Reuters contributed to the report.

When he was good, he ran the ball in on the fists of right-handed hitters. When that's working, there isn't anything better. He's just not consistent. But give him this: That was one of the best made-up names ever. Fausto Carmona. Since he's not using it, I might even go with it myself.
I would expect it will be a very low-scoring game today. I'm going to go extra slow here in the pressbox.
Not well, if you go by the Cowboys' history in drafts. How much of that was Jerry's fault, and how much of it was scouting? I'd say Jerry certainly hasn't helped. He's impulsive and emotional in the drafts. The reason we know this is because he jumped at least an entire round to take Quincy Carter. He's also, as is his nature, too optimistic. Too often he has traded down thinking he can get players just as good in later rounds. He's had some success in the last couple of drafts, and I have to believe that's a direct result of Jason Garrett's influence. He needs to continue to exert that kind of influence, if the Cowboys are going to have any success in the future.
Wish they'd gone all the way. Liked the old Astros with the comet look. Of course, no Houston uni could beat the old Colt .45s, with the "C" formed by smoke coming out of the barrel. Unfortunately, no longer politically correct.
A drizzling rain has started up again. Bummer. Well, have a good lunch. Stay dry. And thanks for coming.

Biography of Band
|Tom and Seb never really thought to do a band. They played every Sunday some metal songs and only for fun. The compos took, gradually, form and they decided to put them on Cd This was more to remember than another thing. They called upon some friends in order to ensure the various instruments. They asked John (drums), Mo (bass) and Alex (Guitar) to come to play in order to have this small CD.
A little by chance, a first concert was planned. Tom and Seb asked to their friends if they were OK to make a small concert. All are agreed and the band was formed quite naturally
Chris, a singer, come in the band as the 2nd singer . IFA made some concerts , then took part in a Rock contest whose profit was a recording in Studio.
Having to gain this price, IFA decided to prepare the best possible this recording. Unfortunately, three of the members of IFA (Mo, Alex and Chris) left the band. Us here thus to three, and research to find new musicians motivated started.
After one week, Greg (guitar) joined us, like Benja (vocals). We missed a bass player then. Made thing one week afterwards with the arrival of Gilles.
Now we play a maximum of live shows and we are in studio to record a good quality demo.

Shotgun Wedding is the latest showcase for JLo as she returns to the romantic-comedy wedding genre. The film moves between action and family drama and features an eclectic cast.
The happy couple, Tom and Darcy bring together their culture clashing families for their wedding in the Philippines. Surprisingly, bringing together their dysfunctional families on a remote island isn’t the worst part of the trip. Instead, it is the pirates who over take the special day and hold the wedding guests hostage. Once again Jennifer Lopez finds herself as the strong lead as she and her husband-to-be (played by Josh Duhamel) must rescue the wedding party.
Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to weddings, both in real life and onscreen. Anytime a new JLo rom-com is announced it is always a delight. While Shotgun Wedding appears to be very much in her lane for her cinematic skillset, its use of action and comedy to tell the simple story of a destination wedding feels like a change for her. The comedy goes full force with clumsy action sequences and gags that are truly a fun time to watch. The film is not concerned with being realistic as it commits to being over the top with its violence.
Although the film features a predictable script with a simple story, it delivers on being an overall fun time as JLo is in her element of being a bride who is an action star while also having incredible comedic timing. Duhamel and Lopez are positioned as an effortless comedic duo rather than a romantic couple as they banter and argue about their current predicament. Since the premise is so minimalistic, a sharper script could enhance the film, but JLo makes the dialogue work with her signature charm. The charming cast also is helped by Jennifer Coolidge, who can make anyone laugh just by breathing.
Shotgun Wedding never takes itself too seriously and that is why it works. The messiness of the tone and well-paced screenplay make for some funny moments by Jennifer Lopez and her supporting cast who all fit wedding guest stereotypes incredibly well. Overall, it is a light film that takes the audience through the tensions of getting married and the adrenaline rush of escaping pirates who take your family for ransom.

We have some big crypto news to talk about in the market today. So, we’re going to be talking about Sandbox the metaverse cryptocurrency coin. We’re going to be talking about Terra Luna classic. What is going on with that crypto and we also have some big price predictions for bitcoin coming out of some billionaires out there, including CZ of Binance, so where will the bitcoin price be in two years. We’re going to be talking about that with some comments from CZ and some other billionaires.
If you want to be aware of all crypto movements, download Jet-Bot copy trading platform! Earn from 200% up to 2,000% APY! Save your money and create passive income!
Let’s kick it off with this big news coming out of sand and it says right here Sand gains almost 20 in wake of tech giant metaverse announcement. So, the sandboxes coo said again on Saturday an acquisition by Meta will never happen so that is good news. Meta is Facebook rebranded and is basically one of the top-tier metaverse coins out there. We love our metaverse coins on the channel and that you can see the tweet right here so the sandbox sand is basically building out its own metaverse and it’s not looking to be acquired by meta. So, I definitely think it would be a mistake if, unfortunately, Mark Zuckerberg was to take over the sandbox. I think cryptos they’re bringing a lot of innovation; they’re building up from the ground level which is good to see.
We seeing some other big interests in the metaverse, so you can see here, mentions of Alibaba and also Sony. The other thing, we’ve noticed on the channel is there are a lot of big brands going into the metaverse. So, fashion companies are big influencers, they’re going into the metaverse bought a yacht club and I do think the metaverse does have big potential. If we have a look right here are some of the top metaverse coins. But we also love other metaverse coins such as Everdome, Luna one, and Medihero. I’m not sure whether they don’t list them right there and there’s a bit of a Luna classic update as well. You can see some continuous development on this crypto, so raider 70 is working on the project now. He says please find attach the minutes of the steering group meeting held on the 21st of June 2022 confirming the resolutions that were passed at the meeting. The next steering group meeting will be held on the 19th of July 2022.
If you have items that you wish to submit for your consideration for the agenda please send them to me by Tuesday the 5th of July so some really good updates coming out of raider out of the discord. You can see some of the agenda and minutes right here and what is the next step for Terra Luna classic. It really is coming down to building out that ecosystem setting up the Do getting the legal support. It really is a group effort for this cryptocurrency. You can see an update on the burn numbers, so we’re sitting at one billion. But realistically what needs to happen is that transaction tax needs to go through, but very good to see some more development of Luna classic in the background and I want to give a shout-out to Qcoin as well. So, if you are looking for a crypto exchange with a big variety of cryptos as well as some nice passive income opportunities on some staking on the crypto exchange what you can do is you can sign up to q coin right now. They have some time-limited 500 USDT bonuses for completing some tasks on that crypto exchange.
Let’s talk about some crazy bitcoin predictions so have a look at this one this one is coming from a crypto billionaire and he says right here that bitcoin is going to be at 250 000 within the next 18 months. So that is a massive bullish prediction and that is coming out of venture capitalist Tim Draper so he thinks cryptocurrency is going up more than tenfold by the end of 2023. He is staying bullish in the crypto space. How much they are currently worth in the market and you can see up the top who is the king, so you can see at the top who is actually the richest person in crypto right now. It looks to have a look at this Sam Bankman freed the CEO of FTX exchange right there. He’s worth a cool 20 billion dollars CZ is worth 18.7 billion dollars and now he’s chipping in from Binance and you also have some of the other CEOs of both crypto projects and exchanges. You got Coinbase CEO worth around 2.2 billion CEO of a ripple 3 billion and Cameron Winklevoss 3.2 billion and some other people up there. So, billions hundreds of millions of dollars which is really good to see. It’d be great to become a billionaire right there. What is CZ of Binance said about this, so he’s actually chipped in right here. He says over on twitter. Legendary Tim Draper bought lots of Bitcoin at around 650. They still say easy come easy go to him now when it’s 21 000 actually his bitcoins dropped to 200 at one point. People are laughing at him then who is laughing. Now he’s made billions in the crypto space and on top of that what does CZ Binance say about bitcoin? He’s taking a more conservative route, so he says right here. CZ believes bitcoin will stay below 69 000 for the next two years, so it might trade within that range. That is his prediction. I think potentially Bitcoin could outperform that uh 69 000 all-time high and my predictions are coming from the US economy. So, if the US economy becomes very strong and that goes back into a bullish scenario. Possibly we could see some good crypto prices, but right now you can see sees out. He’s got a bit of a conservative approach on our crypto. But let me know are you staying the course in cryptocurrency. You’re going to be here in two years time when the bitcoin price goes back up.
Let’s talk about the crypto prices today, so have a look at this GMT up 22.8 percent, HEX up 11.7 percent sandbox having a good run that we spoke about earlier. So, up 11.4 percent ape up ten percent and some of the crypto is looking good. If we actually sort this by the week right here, you can see it’s been a really good week for the cryptocurrency. So, we’re rounding out the week pretty positive in some positive territory and bitcoin staying strong around the 21 000 level. So, it’s really good to see bitcoin maintain some good price movement. So, you can see the seven-day window here for bitcoin ends the week on a bullish note. So, good stuff to bitcoin holders out there, and again this is what we want. So, we want the bitcoin price to stay strong we want the other crypto prices to stay strong and also check out ship. Ship is up 53 in the last seven days. So, shout out to fellow ship army holders out there really good to see that.

Diana Marua Says Willy Paul Hating on Her Music Because He's Jealous
- Diana Marua noted that Willy Paul is bitter because she launched her music career successfully and attracted quite a bang
- Bahati's wife insisted that Willy Paul was just jealous of her sudden blow in the music industry
- Willy Paul had earlier asked Diana to stick to comedy and content creation and leave music for real musicians

Bahati's wife Diana Marua has clapped back at nemesis Willy Paul barely a week after launching her music career.
Stick to content creation
Well, Diana's music debut sparked debates online with quite a number of people trashing her new song Hatutaachana.
Among the people who poked fun at Diana over her music career was singer Willy Paul who noted the former is a comedian and not a musician.

According to Willy Paul, Diana and her family should just stick to comedy and other things and leave music to people with real talents like him.
This, however, did not settle down well with Diana who hit back at Pozee during a radio interview.
Speaking in an interview with Kiss 100 on Friday, December 3, the mother of two said Willy Paul is hating on her and her music because he is just jealous.
Diana insisted that Willy Paul is bitter because she is a better musician than him.
Jealous Willy Pozee
She added that the musician was not happy for her because of her instant success in music.
''I have released a song four days ago and right now I am at one million views on YouTube. This guy has been in the industry for so long, I just joined literally three days ago and numbers don't lie.
And you coming to me saying things. I don't know, I just feel like he is hating on me because I am ahead of him. And it has just been three days and he has been here for years. Give me a break," Diana said.
Her sentiments, however, did not go well with quite a number of netizens who pleaded with her to just forget about music and beefing with real musicians.
Fans think otherwise
TUKO.co.ke earlier reported a cross-section of Kenyans asked her to stay off the music industry a few hours after releasing her debut song "Hatutaachana".
Most argued that she has built a better brand as a product influencer, and doing lurid videos will taint the image.
Others were adamant that she is not talented when it comes to music, and that she shouldn't force herself because her husband is an artist.

Jay Cutler responds to being called the 'worst quarterback in the NFL'
The Bears quarterback doesn't really want to talk about the Bennett brothers and their insults
As long as Cutler's in the NFL, there's a good chance that someone, somewhere, will be criticizing him.
"I'd be open and he'd throw into double coverage," Martellus said.
So Cutler can't throw.
In the same interview, Martellus' brother Michael also piled on Cutler, calling him the "worst quarterback in the NFL."
So Cutler's horrible.
Cutler got a chance to respond to those comments on Wednesday, and basically, it sounds like he wants everyone to know that Martellus is Tom Brady's problem now.
"Most receivers and tight ends (think they) are always open," Cutler said of Martellus, via the Chicago Tribune. "Hopefully Tom (Brady) can do a better job of finding him than I did."
Cutler was then asked why NFL players always seem to be talking about him, and usually not in a good way. Unfortunately, the Bears quarterback didn't have anything to say about Michael Bennett's ranking.
"I could say something clever and smart," Cutler said, "but I'll just pass."
Cutler might not be a great quarterback, but it's probably safe to say that Michael Bennett's ranking is slightly off. If Cutler's the "worst" quarterback in the NFL, that means he'd be ranked behind guys like Matt Schaub, Scott Tolzien, Dan Orlovsky, Matt Barkley and Mcleod Bethel-Thompson. I will go out on a limb and say he's better than each of those guys.
Anyway, Cutler will be glad to know that at least one of his former teammates still likes him. During an interview on Tuesday, Brandon Marshall said that he thinks Cutler can be the NFL MVP this year.
That being said, I think we can all agree that Cutler falls somewhere between Marshall's ranking (potential MVP) and Bennett's ranking (worst quarterback ever).

Alternative investments can serve as the secret sauce in a well-diversified portfolio, offering a chance to boost returns and reduce overall risk by moving beyond traditional asset classes like stocks and bonds. However, this potential comes with its unique set of complexities and risks.
Let’s delve into the world of alternative investments to understand what options are available to you.
1. Real Estate
Real estate is arguably the most popular alternative investment. It ranges from rental properties and real estate investment trusts (REITs) to commercial real estate and property crowdfunding platforms.
These investments can provide a steady income stream (through rents or dividends) and potential appreciation over time. However, real estate investments often require substantial capital and can be illiquid.
2. Private Equity
Private equity involves investing directly into private companies or conducting buyouts of public companies, resulting in their delisting. Because these investments are not traded on public exchanges, they can offer high returns, but they are less liquid, more complex, and often require significant capital, typically making them suitable for accredited or institutional investors.
3. Hedge Funds
Hedge funds are pooled investment funds that use a range of strategies to earn active returns for their investors. These strategies may include leverage, derivatives, and short-selling. Although potentially profitable, hedge funds are known for their high fees, complexity, and lack of transparency. Like private equity, they’re generally available only to accredited or institutional investors.
Commodities include physical assets like gold, silver, oil, natural gas, and agricultural products. Investing in commodities can provide a hedge against inflation and diversification. Investors can access commodities through futures contracts, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), or by buying the physical asset. Note that commodity prices can be volatile, influenced by factors like geopolitical events and natural disasters.
5. Venture Capital
Venture capital involves investing in startups or young, small companies that are believed to have high growth potential. Venture capital can offer impressive returns if the startup succeeds and goes public or gets acquired. However, due to the high failure rate of startups, venture capital investments are risky and often reserved for sophisticated investors.
Collectibles, or ‘passion assets,’ include art, wine, antique cars, coins, and more. While these investments can appreciate over time and offer enjoyment to the owner, their values are highly subjective and can fluctuate wildly. They also incur costs for insurance, storage, and maintenance.
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have gained significant attention as an alternative investment. They offer high potential returns but are known for their extreme volatility. Investing in cryptocurrencies requires a good understanding of the technology behind them and a willingness to withstand potentially significant losses.
8. Peer-to-Peer Lending
In peer-to-peer lending, investors provide loans to individuals or businesses through online platforms in exchange for regular interest payments. This can offer higher returns than traditional fixed-income investments, but it also carries a risk of borrower default.
Before venturing into alternative investments, it’s crucial to assess your risk tolerance, investment horizon, and financial goals. Keep in mind that these assets can be less liquid, more complex, and more volatile than traditional investments. Therefore, conducting thorough research, and possibly consulting with a financial advisor, is essential before adding alternative investments to your portfolio.
With the right approach, these non-traditional asset classes can add valuable diversification and yield enhancement to your investment strategy.

We all know China’s credibility in the tech industry has been made–it has been seen as an imitator. Today, they intend to lead in fields ranging from blockchain to artificial intelligence, developments that will be seen as important in the future.
Despite China’s trade war with the US, people say the country with the second-largest economy will continue to drive the domestic technology industry.
The potential of artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, smartphones, and financial technology will be the subjects explored at the East Tech West conference in Guangzhou, China’s Nansha district.
Artificial intelligence is a broad term that encompasses the technology that makes robots impersonate human intelligence when it comes to speech or image recognition. Both Chinese and U.S. companies were paying a lot of money in implementing AI, and by taking them into account, they both planned their own national strategies.
Beijing’s plans to become the world leader in artificial intelligence by 2030 were discussed back in 2017. We also have a goal: to make a trillion yuan worth of the industry–that’s around $147.7 billion.
China has already made the most of the use of AI–just look at the technology of facial recognition. Nonetheless, here we are all the United States as the leader, especially when it comes to research and development. China’s software is being applied too rapidly in facial recognition or speed recognition. The same applies to smart cities, the medical world, and even cars that drive themselves. The US still has the lead in R&D, but China is catching up quite quickly–look at some well-funded startups such as iFlytek, Face++, and Sensitive.

“The Army was much embarrassed by the absence of the cavalry,” Robert E. Lee wrote of the Gettysburg campaign, stirring a controversy that continues even today. Lee’s statement was an indirect indictment of Gen. James Ewell Brown (“Jeb”) Stuart, who was the cavalry. This book reexamines the questions that have shadowed the legendary Confederate hero and offers a fresh, informed interpretation of his role at Gettysburg.
Avoiding the partisan pros and cons characterizing previous accounts, Warren C. Robinson reassesses the historical record to come to a clearer view of Stuart’s orders for the crucial battle (as well as what was expected of him), of his actual performance, and of the impact his late arrival had on the outcome of the campaign. Though Stuart may not have disobeyed Lee’s orders, Robinson argues, he did abuse the general’s discretion by raiding Washington rather than scouting for the army at Gettysburg—a move that profoundly affected Confederate fortunes and perhaps the war itself.

Baku, Azerbaijan, May 13
By Elnur Baghishov - Trend:
As much as 7 percent of fuel at Iran’s Imam Khomeini Shazand Oil Refinery, located in the Shazand district of the country’s Markazi Province, is converted into fuel oil, Executive Director of the Imam Khomeini Oil Refining Company Alireza Amin said, Trend reports with reference to IRNA.
He said that plant processes more than 250,000 barrels of crude oil daily and produces more than 17 million liters of gasoline and 12 million liters of diesel that meet Euro 4 standard. The high quality gasoline is consumed in Tehran, Alborz and Markazi provinces, Alireza Amin added.
“Last Iranian year (started on March 21, 2018), the plant produced 5.2 billion liters of gasoline that meets the Euro 4 standard,” he noted. “This makes more than 20 percent of the total consumption of gasoline in Iran.”
In his words, last year, the plant produced 230 million liters of Premium gasoline, 430 million liters of white oil and 4 billion liters of diesel fuel.
He added that Imam Khomeini Shazand Oil Refinery's daily production accounts for 500 tons of propylene, 400 tons of granulated sulfur, 2,000 tons of liquefied gas, 16 million liters of gasoline that meet the Euro 4 standards, 13 million liters of diesel fuel and 4 million liters of fuel oil.
Imam Khomeini Shazand Oil Refinery started operating in 1993 with processing capacity of 150,000 barrels of oil per day.

Chords are inverted simply by raising one or two notes by three strings. The raised notes are played with the same finger as the original notes. In contrast, in standard tuning, the shape of inversions depends on the involvement of the irregular major-third. On the other hand, some chords are more difficult to play in a regular tuning than in standard tuning. It can be difficult to play conventional chords, especially in augmented-fourths tuning and all-fifths tuning, in which the large spacings require hand stretching. Some chords, which are conventional in folk music, are difficult to play even in all-fourths and major-thirds tunings, which do not require more hand-stretching than standard tuning.
Electric https://www.wikipedia.org/s and bass guitars have to be used with a guitar amplifier and loudspeaker or a bass amplifier and speaker, respectively, in order to make enough sound to be heard by the performer and audience. Electric guitars and bass guitars almost always use magnetic pickups, which generate an electric signal when the musician plucks, strums or otherwise plays the instrument. The amplifier and speaker strengthen this signal using a power amplifier and a loudspeaker. Acoustic guitars that are equipped with a piezoelectric pickup or microphone can also be plugged into an instrument amplifier, acoustic guitar amp or PA system to make them louder.
In Mexico, the popular mariachi band includes a range of guitars, from the small requinto to the guitarrón, a guitar larger than a cello, which is tuned in the bass register. The requinto also appears in other Latin-American countries as a complementary member of the guitar family, with its smaller size and scale, permitting more projection for the playing of single-lined melodies. Modern dimensions of the classical instrument were established by the Spaniard Antonio de Torres Jurado (1817–1892).
Most classical guitars have a neck and headblock carved from one piece of wood, known as a “Spanish heel”. Flat-top guitars with steel strings are similar to the classical guitar, however, the flat-top body size is usually significantly larger than a classical guitar, and has a narrower, reinforced neck and stronger structural design. The robust X-bracing typical of flat-top guitars was developed in the 1840s by German-American luthiers, of whom Christian Friedrich “C. F.” Martin is the best known. Originally used on gut-strung instruments, the strength of the system allowed the later guitars to withstand the additional tension of steel strings. The acoustic guitar is used in many kinds of music including folk, country, bluegrass, pop, jazz, and blues.
Pickups are transducers attached to a guitar that detect (or “pick up”) string vibrations and convert the mechanical energy of the string into electrical energy. The resultant electrical signal can then be electronically amplified. These contain magnets that are within a coil, or coils, of copper wire.
It is used to correct changes to the neck’s curvature caused by aging of the neck timbers, changes in humidity, or to compensate for changes in the tension of strings. The truss rod counteracts the immense amount of tension the strings place on the neck, bringing the neck back to a straighter position. Turning the truss rod clockwise tightens it, counteracting the tension of the strings and straightening the neck or creating a backward bow. Turning the truss rod counter-clockwise loosens it, allowing string tension to act on the neck and creating a forward bow. The cross-section of the neck can also vary, from a gentle “C” curve to a more pronounced “V” curve. There are many different types of neck profiles available, giving the https://www.def-con-one.com/ist many options.

Today’s photos are from Petra Williams. We’ve visited Petra’s garden in Vermont (HERE), and she’s taken us along on her visits to both Old Westbury Gardens on Long Island in New York (HERE) and the Central Park Conservatory Garden in New York City (HERE). Today she’s sharing her visit to a completely different part of the country.
She says, “You’ve mentioned that you haven’t featured any gardens yet from Arizona. Perhaps these pictures fit the bill. At the end of March/beginning of April, my husband and I spent a week in southern Arizona. I’d always wanted to see saguaro cacti in their native habitat. A must see for us was the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. We timed it perfectly, and everything was just starting to bloom. Additionally there were sculptures sited with the plantings throughout the garden.”
Petra, as far as I’m concerned, you’ve taken us to another planet today! I’ve never been to the Southwest, but so want to. The landscapes are fabulously alien to me, and I’d love to see them up close. Thanks so much for the tour–what a spectacular place! ***And…that makes 45 states we’ve featured! Five more to go….come on Alaska, Hawaii, South Dakota, Arkansas, and Mississippi! (Actually, Alaska and Hawaii are already in the works–stay tuned!)
——Winter is the perfect time to take a photographic stroll through the photos you took in your garden this year……and then send some in to me at [email protected]!

i do love to visit this garden and on this COLD COLD COLD morning i loved seeing the photos even more. it took me a minute to "find" the Chihuly sculptures in the first photo as i thought they were tall columnar yucca. yes, it's early. i thought Arkansas was featured awhile back but i can't find it. a garden with lots of stone borders and a beautiful vegetable garden but it is early and i am cold so who knows. i especially like the Boojum trees. not sure if it's the plant i like so much or the name or the way they look on a full moon desert night.
i'm beginning to wake up and all 3 brain cells are working. i think the Arkansas gardener's name was Sue
WOW. Michelle is right you have taken us to another planet. Beautiful, and you went at the perfect time. This is going to be on my must see gardens list.
I am following Jeff's lead here,,,, it is COLD!!!!,,, still -12 here,,, wind chills minus 30!,,,,and Arizona is looking so nice right now!,,,, Thank you Petra for sending, and yes!,, it does look like a different planet Michelle!! My former husband has lived in Arizona, ( Sedona ) for many years now,,, and it is fabulous!,,,, both the red rocks there are the deserts further south. I too did not distinguish the Chihuly sculptures at first either!,, they are sooooo great and blend so effortlessly! I saw an exhibit in Chicago some years back and JUST loved it!
Love all the cacti Petra,,, not so sure I would want to live with it,, but it is so much fun to see and the flowers are so great too!,,,, I do admit though that I am fascinated by the siguaro's,,, not familiar with the Boojum tree,,, but too, like Jeff, love the name!
Thank you for sending!!! This was great!
Spectacular. Thanks for sharing your travels, Petra. What treat and great selection of photos. You can have a beautiful garden in just about any climate. I'd never want to live in the desert and give up the plants to which I have become so attached, but I keep trying to bring the desert to Ohio. We'll see how the agaves fare with the sub-zero temps we are facing now! sigh.
These are such great pictures, Petra, and perfect for all of us feeling besieged by the cold. I'll bet those Chihuly sculptures look even more amazing lit up at night..all eerie and luminescent.
Think I'll go do some google reading on Caroline Escobar...her work is very interesting.
Hah, it must be another planet, sculptures instead of scorpions, tarantulas, and rattlers. I lived in the southwest for five years so I'm familiar with that landscape. And I love all the blue sky. Everyone needs to tour Arizona and New Mexico. BTW, it gets quite cold and snows in the high desert. Thank you, Petra.
Totally rocks! I enjoyed the jolt this morning seeing your pics that you sent in, Petra! Thanks for giving us another view of gardening. There are so many different kinds of plants and artists! Creativity is the juice of life. Its so fun to create in all of our gardens! SPRING IS ON ITS WAY!
Really a different view of gardening but beautiful.
An absolute treat to have cacti and Chihuly with my coffee this morning, thanks Petra! Definitely looks like another planet, a place with its own beauty that I'd love to visit, then be happy to come back home.
Such a jolt to the senses. Thanks for sending the pictures Petra. Our daughter lived in Arizona for a year and we also visited New Mexico. It seemed like an alien landscape but so beautiful in a different way from home.
I lived a couple of miles from the Botanical Garden as a kid. We used to ride horseback through the area and visit with the gardeners. It's much more "secure", "organized", and "formal" now, but still a beautiful place! I will always love the desert and the Valley of the Sun. Thank you so much for sharing!

Updated on 6 May 2013
New Delhi: Nova Medical Center, a leading short-stay surgical chain in India, placed an order for a Mazor Robotics' Renaissance surgical robot system through Advanced Medical Systems, which is Mazor's distribution partner in India.
The system will be used at the Nova Orthopaedic and Spine Hospital, a newly-opened state of the art hospital in New Delhi, India, dedicated to orthopaedic and spinal surgeries. This system marks the second Renaissance system in India.
In 2009, Nova pioneered the concept of multispecialty Short-Stay Surgery Centers in India to address the need for world class healthcare that is affordable and accessible. Nova is now at the forefront of providing best in class surgical care, with 12 multispecialty short-stay surgical centers across India.
"This system sale represents Mazor's second installment in India, but given the high efficacy of Mazor's Renaissance system and a desire by hospitals to provide its patients with the best procedural outcomes, I believe we are just at the beginning of what could be a much larger installed base," commented Dr Romesh Kaul, president and chief executive officer, AMS.
Dr Harsha Hedge, medical director, orthopaedics, Nova, and one of India's most-renowned and experienced orthopedic surgeons, will be using the robotic system. With his vast training and experience in addition to his stellar reputation, there is no better ambassador for letting the whole of India know about the benefits of using Mazor's Renaissance system.Dr Hegde has a rich experience of more than 20 years in the field of joint replacements, arthroplasty and spinal surgeries.

From July 23, 1914 it took just fourteen days for all the main powers to become involved in the war.
August 8: French troops crossed the frontier to Mulhouse in Alsace as predicted by the German chief of the general staff.
August 12: 200,000 Austrian troops invaded Serbia, but within a few days they were driven back by the poorly equipped but much larger Serbian army.
August 14: The Battle of Lorraine began south-east of Metz. The French were forced back to Nancy by the German counterattack, but they just managed to stop the German attack.
August 20: French troops clashed with a far larger German force in the Battle of the Ardennes. After four days the French fell back west of the Meuse.
August 21: The British Expeditionary Force (BEF) moved into Belgium to support the French advance.
The French offensive failed completely. Confident that the French armies were on the brink of destruction, two German army corps moved to the eastern front, where the Russians were threatening East Prussia. The already watered-down Schlieffen plan was thus further weakened.
August 23: Japan, which had made an alliance with Great Britain in 1902, declared war on Germany.
August 23: The German First Army struck the BEF near Mons. In the Battle of the Sambre two German armies struck south-west of Namur, on the Sambre River. After the fall of Namur, a general retreat was ordered, British forces were outnumbered and with an unprotected left flank they were forced to withdraw.
August 27: At Le Cateau The French fought off a strong contingent of the German army.
August 29: To relieve German pressure on the British at Le Cateau, the French Fifth Army, itself under pressure from the German Second Army, made a 90-degree shift westward to attack the left flank of the German First Army at Guise. The German advance was blocked, the first French tactical success in the campaign.
The German victories at Mons and Le Cateau convinced their generals that the British forces were no longer a threat. They now marched to the south-east, finally abandoning the remainder of the Schlieffen Plan. Intent on driving the French out of Paris, they continued southward across the Marne, just east of Paris.
September 6-9: First Battle of the Marne, although tactically inconclusive, was an outright strategic victory for the Allies. British and French troops halted German advance just short of Paris. This marked the beginning of trench warfare. The encounter ended the possibility of Germany's winning the war quickly. The Allied nations had far superior resources, and a long war gave them a definite advantage over the Central Powers.
October-November: First Battle of Ypres. Neither side made much progress in any of the battles, despite heavy casualties. At Ypres, the BEF was nearly destroyed while successfully repelling a German drive.
October 10: After taking Antwerp the Germans attempted to break through the British positions in Belgium, but were checked in a series of engagements known collectively as the Battle of Flanders. The Battle of Flanders marked the conclusion of the war of movement or fighting in the open on the western front.
October 29: Turkey declared war against the Allies when Turkish warships co-operated with German warships in a naval bombardment of Russian Black Sea coast.
November 2: Russia formally declared war on Turkey. Battle of the Atlantic. German campaign to prevent merchant shipping from delivering food supplies from the USA to the Allies, chiefly the UK.
November 5: Great Britain responded to the Turkish threat by annexing Turkish Cyprus and with France declared war on Turkey.
December 8: In the South Pacific a squadron of German cruisers was defeated with the loss of four of its five ships in the Battle of Falkland Islands by British naval units.
December 17: Britain declared a protectorate over Egypt (nominally a state subject to Turkey) and began moving troops there to defend the Suez Canal.

I love movies in which nothing much happens—the ones that take their time, that emphasize poetic images and moments and give us enough time to soak all that up.
While I appreciate well-told stories, I do find that the emphasis on plot will get my mind a little too active. I’ll sit there and try to figure out what’s happening or where the story is going, and while that can be fun, it also fills me with a kind of anxiety that I often become self-conscious of, which then takes me out of the experience. Then, I’ll start wondering when the climax is going to come, and when the movie is going to end so that I can go home and get something to eat.
I know that a lot of moviegoers get annoyed with movies that don’t emphasize story, as if there is nothing else a movie can offer. There has to be conflict, resolution, action, a beginning and an end, otherwise they’ll say, “What was the point of that movie?” and mean it as less of a question than a statement that the movie was a waste of their time.
Most moviegoers have very specific expectations of a movie, and they often get angry when a movie does not fulfill that expectation. Sometimes it doesn’t fulfill that expectation because it’s a bad or inept movie, but sometimes it’s simply because the movie was trying to do something else instead.
There’s all sorts of things that a movie may be interested in doing instead, but I’m going to write specifically about the slow film that emphasizes mood over story. Even in these films, there is almost always a story, and it’s usually very clear. So, I suppose I shouldn’t say that there is no emphasis on story, but rather that there is not a lot of story. There is minimal story.
One of my favorite films is OLD JOY, which tells the story of two men. They’re old friends who have not seen each other in a long while. One of them has followed the traditional notion of growing up, and has a stable family with a child on the way. The other has held onto his college self, still bumming around with no money but seemingly carefree. They decide to catch up and go camping for a weekend at a natural hot springs in the forest. They get lost for a while, but eventually find their way. They never do really get into their old rhythm, as time has put them on separate paths. So there is this unspoken discomfort during the trip. Then they come home, and will probably never see each other again. That’s the whole plot.
It’s one of those movies in which, if you are waiting for something big to happen, you will be disappointed. So can you just sit and experience the film without holding it up against your specific expectations?
The reason I titled this post “The Zen of Cinema” is because I find the above question to be one of the central tenets of Zen thinking, with it applied to the whole of life. Can you experience things as they are without holding it up against your specific expectations? If you can’t, you are doomed to suffer, because it takes a lot of effort to bend yourself and others into some particular shape, and it’s never going to be what you expected anyway. Having your eyes on a specific outcome for the future means a lessened ability to see the fullness of this moment.
So, taking this idea and going back to cinema, I’ll write a bit about why I like OLD JOY so much. Plot-wise, it’s about as simple as you can get. There isn’t a whole bunch of dialogue, and what’s spoken is mostly unimportant. What’s there are beautiful images, with that kiss of film grain that sends my soul aflutter (the movie was shot on 16mm film). There is the sound of the birds in the trees. It quiets your mind and you begin to see perfection in everything. The film is, as all films can be with the right mindset, a joyful experience of the perfect shots in the perfect order, with each shot/edit/sound/piece of music saying everything and nothing all at once. Meaning becomes a very small idea; experience becomes all.
Films like this work their magic in the moment, and if you can see it as it is, in this moment, in every moment, without worrying about whether or not you’re understanding what’s going on or what just happened or where this is all going, then the experience can become so full and perfect. It becomes a meditative experience, clearing the mind with its stillness, allowing the clutter to dissipate so that one can see with clear eyes and an open heart.
This is not necessarily what cinema is meant to do, and not a lot of movies are interested in doing this, which is fine. I love all kinds of cinema and cinematic experiences. This post is just about one kind of experience that I have gotten from a few movies, and I take these movies as welcome reminders that there can be so much fullness in experience, even with nothing is happening.


The Ministry of Industry and Trade permanent secretary, Mr Shaheen Ali hosted a delegation from the Solomon Islands for discussions on current and future cooperation for the development of Solomon Island’s consumer protection, competition, standards and metrology policies and laws, on 31 August 2012.
“The Solomon Islands delegation was led by Mr Doglaus Alex, Consultant Price Control together with Director Consumers Affairs, Mr Oliver Jino and Mr Elijah Gui, Secretary to Price Control and are on a fact finding mission in Fiji”, Mr Ali said.
“The delegation spent two days with the Commerce Commission to study their pricing template, inspection processes, and competition law”.
The Solomon Islands delegation was impressed with the Fijian Competition Policy and will use it as a model for drafting their policy and laws. The delegation indicated that the Solomon Islands consumer laws need to broaden the focus in line with the Fijian laws to encapsulate all aspects of consumer protection, competition and pricing.
The Permanent Secretary further stated that “the Ministry has provided assistance to other Pacific Island Countries such as Kiribati and Tonga through attachment in the area of trade measurement or metrology and through the provision of laboratory equipment. It is important to have an efficient and effective trade measurement infrastructure to ensure that consumers get value for their money and there is fair competition in the market”.
“In addition, countries such as East Timor, Cook Islands and Solomon Islands have been assisted in through the Consumer Council of Fiji” added Mr Ali.
“The Fijian Government is an advocate of regional approach in tackling consumer protection and fair trade to overcome the region’s lack of resources, infrastructure and capacity. In order to achieve the vision of a single market or an economic union, the region needs to ensure that the laws impacting on regional trade, commerce and investment are compatible if not similar, hence cooperation and collaboration in this regard are vital”.
“At the ISO/COPOLCO (International Organisation for Standardisation’s Committee on Consumer Protection) and the PASC (Pacific Area Standards Congress), Fiji managed to successfully underscore these concerns and achieve outcomes to the benefit of the region”.
Mr. Ali stated that the ISO/COPOLCO, hosted by Fiji in May 2012, agreed to the formation of Pacific Islands Consumer Network (PICN), which will include members from the Pacific Island Countries. This is a significant achievement because non-ISO countries (i.e. most of the Pacific Island Countries) can be members of this Network. The voices and concerns of the Pacific Island Countries on consumer protection and standard will be taken up by the PICN to the ISO, through the Asian Network of Consumer Organisation (of which Fiji is a member).
In the area of consumer and trade standards, Fiji is also a member of the regional body Pacific Area Standards Congress (PASC) and with PNG is the only representative from the region.
“In line with the outcomes PASC annual meeting of 2012, held in Yeosu Korea, Fiji will liaise with its Pacific Island neighbours to develop an action plan for a regional approach to standards infrastructure and training in the region”, Mr Ali said.
“Fiji will continue to use foras such as ISO, PASC and MSG to discuss and find solutions to the Pacific consumers concerns”.

Rating: (Very Good)
First Sentence: Detective Jacob Willow dodged a sign proclaiming DIE YOU DAM MURDRER, ducked another saying REPENT SINNER!
Reason for Reading: I wanted to knock off another of my series book, and this one sounded like a good one to read. I had enjoyed the first book in Kerley’s series, The Hundredth Man, and had decided it was a series I wanted to follow-up on.
From the Publisher: In 1972, on the day of his sentencing, renowned artist and serial killer Marden Hexcamp is shot dead in the courtroom. Members of his Mansonesque band of followers are imprisoned or simply disappear.
Fast-forward more than thirty years: A suspected prostitute is found murdered in a candlelit motel room, the first in a series of horrors suggesting Hexcamp's art remains alive and treacherous. Following a trail of beautiful - and profoundly disturbing - artwork, homicide detectives Carson Ryder and Harry Nautilus descend into the shocking world of the Death Collectors, people who spend vast sums to collect serial-killer memorabilia. As Ryder and Nautilus race to solve a thirty-year conspiracy, it becomes sadly evident that at the intersection of art and madness, death is beauty, tragedy a memento, and suffering suitable for framing.
Comments: I had not expected to read this book in just over a day. While I enjoyed The Hundredth Man and saw it as a promising start to a new mystery series, I was even more impressed with Jack Kerley’s The Death Collectors. I was swept away in the story, which was entertaining, at times morbid, and always interesting.
Carson Ryder by himself would probably get on my nerves after awhile, but the addition of his faithful partner, Harry Nautilis, who deserves a starring credit all his own, takes off the edge of Carson’s personality, which borders on arrogant and reckless at times. They make a great team. There was a lot less bureaucratic politics in this novel than in the last, with the plot line staying close the mystery itself. The mystery builds on itself throughout the book, taking the story into unexpected directions, becoming more and more involved as it went. Readers are taken a little bit deeper into Carson’s past as his brother, Jeremy, is pulled into the investigation for help, adding that extra personal touch. Readers also get a taste of the morbid world "death collectors," a world I gladly am not a part of.
After finishing The Death Collectors, it is taking a lot of energy out of me not to rush out and pick up a copy of the latest Jack Kerley novel, which is out in hardback at the moment.
Favorite Part: I wasn’t too keen on DeeDee Dansbury at first, but she grew on me after awhile. Harry Nautilus is probably my favorite character in the series. He’s got a good head on his shoulders and keeps Carson Ryder in check. I wish he could have played a bigger part in the novel this time around.
