KS in jack-up newbuild teamwork
By TAN HWEE HWEE Singapore
Singapore-listed KS Energy and Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries (ZPMC) have teamed up to build a high-specification jack-up drilling unit in Indonesia.
The pair will join forces to build a Friede & Goldman JU2000E jack-up rig in Batam, the first rig of its kind to be constructed in Indonesia.
The rig construction will take place at a 20-hectare yard run by Citra Tubindo, an oilfield equipment manufacturer also owned by KS Energy's Indonesian-born chief executive Kris Wiluan.
ZPMC will supply the parts and components required for construction of the F&G JU2000E.
The rig will take at least 24 months to deliver, suggesting its delivery will take place at the earliest during the second half of 2015.
No commercial terms were released on the cost of the high specification jack-up rig, but it is expected to fall within the under $250 million going price for an F&G JU2000E unit.
The latest rig building venture with ZPMC signifies Citra Tubindo's first move into offshore rig building business.
Citra Tubindo has 30 years of experience in manufacturing oilfield equipment and has recently delivered two land rigs now understood to be drilling at ExxonMobil's Banyu Urip oil project in Cepu, Indonesia.
The venture into offshore rig building is in line with the vision of Wiluan to contribute to the maximisation of Indonesia's oil and gas spend within the country.
By his estimate, Pak Kris – as he is often addressed within the industry – said Indonesia spends about $15 billion to $20 billion a year on oilfield services and materials, a large part of which is still "done outside the country".
He estimates the major South-East Asian oil and gas producing country will require at least 30 land rigs and 10 jack-up rigs within the next three to five years.
"It is our intention to maximise expenditure in the country," he said.
KS Energy has concurrently formalised a 49:51 joint venture with Indonesia's state-owned Pertamina Drilling to own and operate onshore and offshore drilling units.
The joint venture now owns and operates the two land rigs on charter to ExxonMobil at an announced contract value of $98 million.
It also owns and operates a recently upgraded Indonesian-flagged rig, KS Java Star 2, which went on a two-year contract with Pertamina Hulu Energi in the West Madura Offshore (WMO) production sharing contract, on delivery from Singapore-based Keppel Fels earlier this year, according to Pertamina Drilling's president-director Faried Rudiono.
The KS Energy-Pertamina Drilling joint venture is in talks with Pertamina Hulu Energi on a further contract extension for KS Java Star 2 to support the massive drilling campaign lined up in WMO block over the next two years, Faried told Upstream.
The present two-year contract at WMO block is valued at $87.6 million, according to KS Energy.
KS Energy has acquired a F&G Super M2 jack-up unit to be named KS Java Star 2, from ZPMC, also to be owned and operated under its joint venture with Pertamina Drilling.
KS Java Star 2 is scheduled to be delivered from ZPMC during the first half of 2014 and is understood to be offered for a contract with Pertamina Hulu Energi's Offshore Northwest Java PSC.
Great leap ahead for KS Energy
By TAN HWEE HWEE Singapore
KRIS Wiluan, the Indonesian-born chief executive of Singapore-listed KS Energy, is taking a big step towards his ambition of seeing Indonesia able to provide the full suite of oilfield services by lining up a deal to build a jack-up drilling rig at his Batam facility.
Over the weekend, Kris unveiled a potential collaboration between KS Energy and Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries (ZPMC) to jointly build a Friede & Goldman JU2000E jack-up rig at Citra Tubindo, an oilfield equipment manufacturer also owned by Kris.
Now occupying 20 hectares of land within Kris's 600-hectare Kabil Industrial Estate, Citra Tubindo was set up in the 1970s to fulfill his vision of maximising oil and gas investment stemming fom Indonesia's hydrocarbon production within the country.
Indonesia spends about $15 billion to $20 billion on oilfield services and products every year, according to Kris. By his estimate, the percentage of oilfield services spending going to domestic players has risen to as much as 50%, a vast increase since the 1970s, but Kris feels more can be done within the country.
Over the past 30 years, Citra Tubindo has expanded its customer base from the east to the west. Aside from sales within Asia, its products are reportedly sold to Japan, the US and the Middle East.
Kris's latest ambition is to get involved in the construction and supply of Indonesian drilling units — both onshore and offshore rigs — at his Batam-based facility.
Citra Tubindo has already delivered two "walking" land rigs to KS Energy and its state-owned partner for Indonesia-focused company Pertamina Drilling.
The land rigs have started drilling at the ExxonMobil-operated Banyu Urip oil project in the Cepu block and are beating the projected work schedule on the planned wells, according to Kris. Building a jack-up drilling unit will be the next logical step up for Citra Tubindo and partnerships with other seasoned rig builders in Asia would ease its entry.
The partnership with ZPMC, assuming it is finalised, will see the Chinese rig builder supply the parts and components to Citra Tubindo for the construction of initially one F&G JU2000E unit.
ZPMC is also the majority shareholder of Houston-based rig design house F&G, but the commerical terms of the potential licensing agreement for the JU2000E design with Citra Tubindo remain undisclosed.
No cost projection has been made available for Citra Tubindo's first JU2000E unit, although it is widely expected to fall under the $250 million bracket, the going price for similar rigs in the market.
Kris sees potential to extend the rig building partnership with ZPMC to a second JU2000E. But he is also keen to engage seasoned Singapore rig builders SembCorp Marine and Keppel Fels, which account for 70% of the world's modern jack-ups.
The first JU2000E to be built at Citra Tubindo is expected to hit water within 24 months and will be marketed worldwide.
Indonesia will need as many as 10 jack-ups in the near-term, although these are likely to be 300-foot to 350-foot units, according to Kris. He also sees demand for at least 30 land rigs for Indonesian operations, with Pertamina Drilling primed to invest in one or two newbuild units annually.
Pertamina Drilling is close to sealing a newbuild deal with Citra Tubindo for another land rig, he added.
KS Energy nets $12m China rig deal
Singapore's KS Energy has secured a $12 million deal to supply equipment for two jack-up rig newbuilds ordered at a mystery Chinese yard.
The Singapore-listed company's 55%-owned subsidiary KS Distribution has inked the SGD 15 million ($11.9 million) deal, KS Energy said on Friday.
The contract covers the provision of "major capital equipment" and "ancillary services" for the rig duo, KS said.
Delivery is set for the first and second quarters of the 2013 financial year.
Although KS did not identify the yard concerned, it described it as an "established shipyard".

KS Distribution (KSD) feature in European Oil & Gas Magazine
The first of KSD's constituent companies is SSH Corporation Ltd, which specialises in piping materials, fittings and flanges for the oil and gas, marine and petrochemical industries. The company also stocks high tensile steel plates. SSH Corporation is the sole distributor and representative for Lincoln Electric welding equipment and consumables in Singapore, as well as one of the distributors of the brand in other areas such as China, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
The second company under this umbrella is Aqua-Terra Supply Co. Limited, which focuses on oil and gas consumables such as hand tools and lubricants, alongside oil field and marine related equipment. The final major subsidiary is KS Flow Control Pte Ltd, a specialist stockin the supply of high-grade components and innovative solutions for hydraulic and instrumentation applications.
Under the KSD hallmark, these companies, together with their various subsidiaries, are able to offer over 70,000 line items representing around 300 global brands. Ultimately this merger is aimed at offering a one-stop-shop operation capable of providing almost all necessary products and services to clients from a single source. "Our core competency is to be able to provide our customers with a wide range of products," begins Richard Wiluan, executive director of KSD, by way of an introduction. "We pride ourselves on presenting very high quality products to manufacturers in the oil and gas, marine and petrochemical industries. At the moment we are mainly focusing on distribution of these products, as well as holding stock in our role as stockist."
Headquartered in Singapore, KSD's market reach spreads across the Asia-Pacific region with a presence in China, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). "Naturally our strength lies in the Asia-Pacific region, but in terms of global expansion there are a lot of opportunities, such as Indo-China, northern Asia, and even still within the Asia-Pacific sector itself," adds Richard. Following the merger, the new business collective has undergone a key internal restructuring, which has seen all three companies move from their separate offices across Singapore to one central location and warehousing facility. This has been an essential step in achieving the integrated service KSD wishes to be known for."
It is this one-stop-shop package that Richard believes, fundamentally distinguishes KSD from the rest: "A lot of our competitors can perhaps provide part of our portfolio in terms of products such as pipes and valves, whereas we can offer our customers a vast array of products to all parts of the energy sector including upstream, downstream and petrochemical applications. But we do not consider ourselves a jack-of-all-trades, we actually do have technical expertise within the company as well, which enables us to offer advice on specific technical issues that may arise in order to support our clients' requirements. Within this, we only represent quality products, and pride ourselves on being able to provide the products that we believe are the highest standard from the world's quality manufacturers."
Looking ahead, KSD is keen to move beyond just distribution and stocking into offering value-added services such as repair and maintenance programmes, engineering and even fabrication of packages or skids. However, some of these value-added services are already being offered to a limited extent. In this respect, the company will eventually be able to offer its customers more of a turnkey solution. Although KSD itself has still to integrate these capabilities into its portfolio, the company already has experience in such a set-up in previous projects through SSH Corporation. "One of the biggest projects we have ever been involved in was an ethylene cracker complex (ECC) for Shell Eastern in Singapore, where we provided all the piping materials, fittings, and flanges. As well as procuring the products from our sources, we supplied the logistics services, warehousing facilities, inspections, and even IT system monitoring as a complete holistic solution," elaborates Richard.
These ambitions appear not to have been hampered hugely by the recent unfavourable economic conditions. In fact, situations such as the major BP disaster have put a sharp focus on quality, which has benefited KSD's high standard of portfolio. As such, Richard's strategy for the business remains relatively straightforward: "Our future plans are to continue to expand our product range to fill any gaps in our offering, and grow in terms of our global presence and networks. Our aim is really to become a preferred supplier to our customers, and to be able to provide them with this complete holistic response with a larger range of value-added services," he concludes.

How to expand overseas the smart way
IT was Albert Einstein who observed that not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. It is a statement that rings true for business today. Many companies know that their most important assets are intangible.
Take a company's reputation, for instance. A good name developed assiduously over many years can be the difference between getting a deal done or having it fall through. When moving into a new market, your company's reputation plays a big part in the number and quality of opportunities you are likely to secure.
Judgement and instinct are two other qualities that cannot be easily measured, but which may be critical factors in the success or failure of a business venture. Another is local knowledge – knowing the right way to approach a problem varies markedly from country to country.
When all these intangible elements come together in one company, the results can be spectacular. An example of such a company is SSH Corporation (SSH) – one of the largest industrial material and welding products suppliers in the region. It operates in the intensely competitive oil and gas, petrochemical and marine industries.
SSH's reputation has been developed over 60 years. The experienced management team has shown both judgement and sound instincts in its quest to become a major international player.
The company has grown rapidly in recent years, and expanded its reach to China, Thailand and Malaysia. Headquartered in Singapore, SSH's geographical presence now covers China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Thailand and Vietnam.
SSH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of KS Distribution and a member of the KS Energy Group, one of the leading distributors of oil and gas equipment, spare parts, consumables and industrial products in the region. Listed on the mainboard of the Singapore Exchange, the KS Energy Group distributes more than 70,000 oil and gas-related products under more than 300 international brands.
SSH got another boost last week when it won the inaugural HSBC Leading International Business Award at the Singapore 1000 gala dinner. The award recognises the company's success in venturing the risks associated with any overseas venture – in addition to maintaining a sound a reputable business in Singapore.
In order to win the award, SSH had to secure the highest possible credit rating for a company in Singapore – the prestigious DP1 rating. It also had to demonstrate that it was a dynamic and growing company, ahead of its competition with overseas revenue of at least S$100 million. The award was presented to SSH by HSBC Singapore's group general manager and chief executive office Alex Hungate.
Working with partners
One quality observed about SSH's management staff is that they do things the right way – taking steps to develop their capacity while understanding and providing for the risks involved. There are many lessons to be learnt from studying SSH's internationalisation. In fact, the company is a case study on what to do right when expanding internationally.
When expanding its operations abroad, SSH makes smart use of the local knowledge its banking partners have in each of the countries it is interested in. Getting the right advice on the requirements of doing business and trade in different countries saves the management from having to learn the hard way when something goes wrong because one is unfamiliar with a particular country's way of doing things.
The company understands the benefits of using trade finance and import/export facilities to manage its high volume of sales, as well as ensuring that it has sufficient cashflow to continue on its grow path.
Asked about the group's biggest hurdle in expanding overseas, SSH chairman Kris Wiluan says: "Our greatest challenge was the need to understand and adapt to different cultures and business practices both internally and externally. Communicating between different cultures adds an element of complexity that is less prevalent in a domestically focused company."
So what advice can Mr Wiluan offer to other companies seeking to enter the global market?
"Be prepared with a business plan supported by a strong cohesive management team. Demonstrate awareness of the other culture and an understanding of the foreign market you are preparing to enter without losing sight of the company's core values."
A rapid way of gaining an understanding of a new market is to work with an international banking partner that already has experts on the ground. As Mr Wiluan explains: "HSBC's global network facilitated our international growth strategy by providing us the assistance we needed to expand into markets previously unreachable."
HSBC has helped the company with the customisation of its trade documentation – a technical area which may seem complicated to the uninitiated, but which will make all the difference if something goes wrong.
Then there are the ever present risks associated with currency fluctuations. This is a risk that any company can take steps to manage by working with a banking partner that understands how different currency instruments can be used to achieve a company's objectives.
By examining the risks inherent in international trade, and putting in place measures to manage them, SSH is an example of a company that has made the right moves and reaped the benefits.

Actis and KS Energy Announce the Launch of KS Distribution After the Successful Completion of Offers for Aqua-Terra and SSH
SINGAPORE, May 6, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Actis, a leading emerging markets private equity specialist, is pleased to announce the completion of its investment in KS Distribution Pte Ltd ("KS Distribution") following the approval by the Singapore Courts of the inter conditional schemes of arrangement in respect of Aqua-Terra Supply Co Ltd ("ATS") and SSH Corporation Ltd ("SSH").
The creation of KS Distribution, in an S$320 million deal funded by Actis and KS Energy, aims to create Asia's largest oil & gas and marine products distribution business with more than 60,000 product lines across nine countries. Actis has invested S$142 million in cash to acquire a 44.375% stake. KS Energy will hold the other 55%, with the remaining 0.625% held by Mr. Koh Soo Keong, CEO of KS Distribution.
The final closing of the deal concludes a four-month approval process that began in December 2009 with the public announcement by Actis and KS Energy of the proposed consolidation. The proposal received strong shareholder support in March 2010 at the shareholder meetings of KS Energy, ATS and SSH. Following the lodgement of court orders approving the inter-conditional schemes of arrangement, ATS and SSH are now wholly-owned subsidiaries of KS Distribution.
Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Paul Fletcher, Senior Partner at Actis, said, "Kris Wiluan is one of Asia's most talented entrepreneurs; we are inspired by his vision and share his ambition to create a unique pan-Asian oil and gas business. Actis enables businesses to grow and the team will move quickly to consolidate operations across the companies, achieving synergies and increasing profitability." KS Energy has held stakes in ATS and SSH since 2006, and the success of this transaction completes their integration. Winner of the Ernst & Young Indonesian Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2009, Mr. Kris Wiluan, Chairman of Singapore's mainboard-listed KS Energy Services Limited, said, "We are very pleased to bring in Actis, a strong partner whose proven business building skills and in-depth knowledge of emerging markets and the oil & gas industry will contribute significantly to the growth of KS Distribution. Actis's investment facilitates my long-held vision of building the region's leading Integrated Energy Supply and Services Hub. With its strong track record and operational expertise, Actis will be an invaluable long-term partner on our journey to increase the scale and reach of KS Distribution, and provide greater value-added services to our customers."
Mr. Gary Addison, Partner at Actis in Southeast Asia, led the deal team for Actis. He said, "This was an extremely complicated transaction and one of the first deals of its kind in Asia. It is a significant transaction for Actis and strengthens our position as a leading private equity investor in South East Asia. The leadership of Mr. Kris Wiluan, coupled with our operational insight and knowledge of emerging oil and gas markets like Africa and Brazil, will provide the opportunity to create one of the region's most attractive oil and gas services companies."
The transaction also builds on Actis' previous investments in the region, which have included Unza, one of the largest manufacturers of consumer products; APEC, which is involved in oil and gas exploration in Indonesia; and Teknicast, one of the largest high precision die-casting companies in the region.
About Actis
Actis is a leading private equity investor in emerging markets, with US$4.8billion funds under management and a growing portfolio of investments in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Actis has over 100 investment professionals on the ground in 9 offices worldwide.

Some time ago, an interview I held with former chairman of the Israeli National Security Council [and ex-national security advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] Dr. Uzi Arad had been posted on the internet. In the interview we discussed the relations between Israel and the United States, the geopolitical status of Israel, the Iranian issue, the world view of the Prime Minister and the attitude towards the law in Israel. In the course of the discussion, the issue of the evacuation of the Ulpana Hill houses was raised [the five houses on the outskirts of the West Bank settlement of Beit El, which are in the middle of a political storm over Palestinian claims to the land and a Supreme Court ruling requiring the evacuation of the houses]. During the interview, Arad said whatever he had to say on the issue. However, following the airing of the interview, he questioned the logic of devoting quite a large part of the interview to a marginal and negligent issue like the Ulpana Hill. The world is in turmoil, he said, and we are wasting our time on trifles.
The problem is that in the State of Israel, dealing with marginal issues has become a major obsession, a fateful matter, no less and perhaps even more crucial than the other far more important issues on the agenda of the government. In the State of Israel, the settlements have assumed an essentially religious significance not only for the small messianic group that lives by the light of a single central ideal — "the settlement of the Land of Israel" — but for us all.
And what is it that characterizes religious thinking? Religious thinking is characterized by an absolute veto on any rational debate, on any realistic cost-benefit evaluation. There is no point in trying to convince the [orthodox Jewish] believer that there is no "logic" in refraining from turning on the light on the Sabbath [an operation banned on Saturday under the Jewish religious law]. It all depends on whose "logic" we are talking here. The orthodox Jew is guided by an inner-logic of his own, disregarding virtually all considerations of gain or loss. Thus, for instance, the rabbinic injunction according to which during the Jewish religious circumcision ceremony some blood has to be squeezed from the wound by sucking may be seen by non-believers as absurd or even dangerous (as the practice of suction by mouth involves a serious risk of transferring herpes from the circumciser to the circumcised), if not outright groundless, as far as the justification commonly given on the basis of the Jewish religious law is concerned. However, none of the above would induce the believer to think or act otherwise, since the truth he believes in is a divine truth and as such it is not subject to either human rationality or profit and loss considerations.
All this may be acceptable as long as it exclusively concerns the community of believers and its relations with the divine force it believes in. It is certainly unacceptable when decisions that have to be made in the real world, which plays by completely different rules, are concerned.
Foreign observers watching the goings-on in the local political arena find it hard to believe that the Prime Minister of Israel, who has to take care of a multitude of issues crucial to the existence of the State of Israel, is devoting time and energy to the question of compensations to the families of settlers who have to be evacuated from [five] houses built illegally on private Palestinian land. Will the houses be sawed and moved to a nearby hill [as suggested by Prime Minister Netanyahu]? Will 10 new houses be built for every building relocated a few hundred meters to the right or to the left [as promised by Netanyahu in an attempt to soften the blow and placate the settlers]? Or rather, should a far-reaching move, introducing legislation to bypass the [Supreme Court ruling and the] entire judicial system, be taken just to assure that no settler will be even slightly [as called for by right-wing members of the coalition and settler leaders]? The answer to these "stupidities" will decide the fate of the coalition, the destiny of the Prime Minister and, ultimately, the future of us all.
Israeli society suffers from an obsession. It is obsessed with an evil spirit. All the discussions here revolve around the question of the settlements and mobilize most of our public energy. The policy that was originally motivated by both religious objectives (the settlement of the Land of Israel) and rational goals (expanding the territory of the State of Israel) has become a distinctly religious cause. The simple question — should a head of state, who has to take into account the overall picture of political interests, bother with the fate of five houses on some distant hill — has not been asked. And in case it is asked, the answer is categorically, no!
The settlements are doing us a disservice. Rather than serving our ends, we find ourselves serving theirs. The time, the maneuvering, the complex system of compensations and manipulations required for solving this pseudo problem are too costly and, in fact, redundant. Beyond all the moral considerations (For how long can the non-Jewish residents of the territories be denied any basic civil right?), the legal issues (For how long can the Israeli and international Law be blatantly disregarded?) and social concerns (How many resources can be allocated to a small, over-privileged group [at the expense of the public at large]?), we are faced here with an inconceivable limitation of the freedom of action of the executive branch, of its ability to act according to rational considerations. And what for, in the name of what? It's in the name of the "holy dybbuk" [in Jewish folklore, a malicious possessing spirit], the evil spirit that has possessed and obsessed Israeli politics. It's about time we exorcize that evil spirit, Dybbuk, leave!

MANCHESTER, N.H. – Despite four hits apiece by freshman designated player Lea Thompson (Trumbull, Conn./Trumbull HS) and sophomore left fielder Stacey Korotsky (Raynham, Mass./ Bridgewater Raynham HS), the Bentley University softball team dropped both ends of a Northwast-10 Conference Northeast Division doubleheader, 3-1 and 6-4, Saturday at the SNHU softball field.
The opener ended on a walk-off two-out two-run homer by freshman catcher Emily Critch (Halifax, Mass.) in the bottom of the seventh.
Bentley (9-22, 4-6 NE10 Northeast) took a 1-0 lead in the third when Thompson scored on Korotsky's two-out triple. Southern New Hampshire matched the Falcon run in the fourth after a lead-off single from senior shortstop Brittany Perdigan (Stoughton, Mass.).
Korotsky had three of the Falcons' five hits in the opener off SNHU senior Tammy Lavallee (Candia, N.H.), who improved to 13-3 on the season.
In game two, after the Penmen scored twice in the third, Bentley took a 3-2 lead in the top of the fourth. Senior first baseman Jordan Ballantyne (Hopewell Junction, N.Y./Arlington HS) had an RBI single, senior third baseman Stephanie McQuaid (Windham, N.H./Austin Prep HS) drove in the second run with a sacrifice fly and Thompson had an RBI single for the lead.
SNHU matched the Falcons' three-run fourth with three in the bottom of the fifth, including a game-tying lead-off homer by Lavallee.
Bentley scored one run in the sixth, on a Thompson RBI single, to draw within one at 5-4, but left the bases loaded in the inning.
There were 28 total hits in the nightcap, including 17 by the home team. Bentley's 11 hits included three by Thomson and two apiece from sophomore second baseman Julie Slavin (Rocky Hill, Conn./Rocky Hill HS) and freshman catcher Lindsey Allen (Worcester, Mass./Worcester Technical HS).
Southern New Hampshire (28-8, 6-4 NE10 Northeast) received third hits apiece from Perdigao, freshman right fielder Coralie Mathieu (Methuen, Mass.) and freshman left fielder Jackie Gavin (Laconia, N.H.).
Bentley will be back at home Tuesday for a 3 pm doubleheader against Assumption College.

Just noticed this should be in Access Section and i have managed to post in the Excel forum. Can it be moved?
I am reading a large text file with multiple values into multiple tables with a 1 to 1 relationship between them all. The file is too large for one table and as the text values have natural groups i split them up into several tables.
I can populate the tables but am having problems thereafter.
I would like to have a form/forms to modify the data in the tables.
However, trying to produce a recordset to use for the form is proving difficult.
I tried putting all the tables on to the one query grid but Access did not like it (although Access should allow more).
I then produced several smaller queries that did show the records. But i now cannot seem to join two or more of these smaller queries on the grid to give me the full set of records.
I am possibly doing something daft here so can anyone give me some pointers as to how i might get this to work.

I suspect the root of this problem is that the tables are not really set up to support relational data, i.e. the kind of data structure required for a relational database such as Access.
First. One to One tables are quite rare, so that alone raises suspicion, but the telling comment is here: "the file is too large for one table and as the text values have natural groups i split them up into several tables." If this is done properly, you usually end up with one-to-many tables, although an occasional one-to-one does occur.
Your comment about not being able to put all of the tables into a single query also points to the same kind of problem. Perhaps you are exceeding the 255 column limit? If so, that's a symptom of the underlying problem--tables not properly designed.
Let's dig into your design for these tables. If you can, uploading the database with some representative data would be the most efficient. Short of that, a relational diagram showing all of these tables would be helpful.
Thank you.

I have attached a snippet if you like of the relationship window.
So multiple tables all with SetID as a foreign key from the Main td_Filesets - FilesetIdx
The overall system idea is to read in a multiline text file which has say 290 values (in 26 groups) stored as text but are in effect a config file that a program uses/displays as boolean. text, date, decimal etc.
Having read in all the values i want to be able to compare differences between sets and to alter and save new configurations.
I did look at having a table called settings with GroupName, SettingName, SortOrder (used when writing the modified file) and settingvalue. But the Value types differ.
If i stored them all as text somehow then how would i have a form that treats boolean etc. correctly. Currently i have a lookup table during import that identifies the data type of each value and imports it as such. If that makes sense. I also have code that writes the file correctly but my current problem is how to show the records in a form.
However it may be a fundamental design change is needed (and that is fine) if i know a direction to proceed.
I have designed many Access DB's over the years but this is something i have never done before and it seems to have affected my logical thinking!
Any help appreciated.

Is that the Entire set of tables? Quite clearly we don't even see the full set of fields in these tables.
I see at least two places where the data does not appear to be properly normalized, which is what I suspected led to this query problem.
You have tables called "Manual1" and "Manual2", almost always a sign that the data represents the same entity and should be normalized into a single table. It's not clear what "Manual" actually refers to. Not always, but definitely to be evaluated further.
Within the table called "Manual2", you have two repeating columns, TradeDirectionLong and TradeDirectionShort. When you see two or more fields with names like this, e.g. XXXX1, XXXX2, XXXX3, etc., you need to zoom in and correct that.
There are, other, similar problems visible in the table called Manual2, "Long_Grid_UpperLimi???" (twice) and "Short_Grid_UpperLimi???" ( also twice). And that's just in the partial view of some of the tables we can see. I would bet that there are many other, similar problems throughout these and other tables.
Here's a good set of blogs explaining the problem and how to fix it. Get that done, then revisit this query problem. It will go a lot better with properly normalized data.

I understand all your comments and if it were the case that i had repeating data where i would just store the foreign key I would have fixed it hopefully.
I can assure you every field and value is unique.
I have a text file with over 280 values and some of the names are similar that is all.
The table names as mentioned are how the unique values are grouped in the text file nothing more than that. I may well be able to combine tables but I do not see that will completely fix the problem.
The text file has a value per line. Here are some of the first few lines to give an idea.
You will see a few of the group names that have been turned into tables Which may be where the problem partly lies?
I don't really want to post the entire file but would be happy to give more snippets or PM it to you if you have the time to look.
Hope this helps clarify somewhat.

Read reviews and testimonials from some of our clients.
" I discovered Pre-Labs while looking to equip my new department with body armour. I was looking for a particular design for our carriers, and a particular threat level protection. Having previously tried to work with another Canadian manufacturer and had been greatly disappointed with both customer service and product, I was glad to have found Pre-Labs! Pre-Labs' customer service was above industry standard. They were excellent and easy to work with, and had no problems catering to my small departmental needs. The armour we received were comfortable, affordable, and well made. I would definitely order from Pre-Labs again. "
" I honestly didn't think I would ever find a vest with all the custom options I needed with a comfortable fit until I found Pre Lab Inc. After a tour of the facility and speaking with the Pre Lab Inc team, I knew I found a high caliber company to make my vest. They are very professional, knowledgeable, and inviting, and they were able to customize my vest to a perfect fit - it actually feels like putting on a coat! Their product is superior in fit, design, and innovation, and I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a quality product. I was also pleasantly surprised that Pre Lab Inc was able to produce and deliver my vest in less than 3 weeks. "
" We have had our vests for over 4 months now and are continuously satisfied with the quality of vests PRE LABS made for us! The features the vests come with not only make us feel comfortable but more protected every day we put them on to go to work. From day 1 of working with pre labs to have our vests made to suit each of us, the team has been informative, willing to help us get the best possible vests, and genuine. They have continued to reach out and ensure we are satisfied with our products. We have received numerous compliments on our vests for the quality, professional look, and features it comes with. We'll recommend PRElabs to anyone! Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to a great company! "

Traveling to other countries is a great way to see where we are strong and where we have a long way to go. You'll see by the references at the bottom, we have some work to do.
I wonder – how was the government able to take on the tobacco industry years ago and yet they are still under the thumb of the food manufacturing industry? It's true that no one needs tobacco products while we do need food. And it's easy to confuse people when ketchup is classified as a vegetable in the school lunch program.
Customer compliance with the big manufacture food companies is instrumental to their success and power over our governmental agencies and leaders. Efforts to make their products appear "healthy", quick, cheap and (through the miracle of advertising) life enhancing is just the beginning. We have to buy in. We have to believe it on some level to partner in the problem. Listening to a cab driver in Bali boast that they now have a McDonalds made me feel sick about the US contribution to the world in the area of nutrition. Image appears to be far more influential than our health and wellbeing, even to a people who appeared to have it going on in the "wellbeing" department.
It's not as difficult or expensive as you think. I buy 2 bags of packaged goods and I'm out $100. I buy 2 bags of produce at Winco and I'm set back $30. And half of that is organic produce. Pinterest makes it easy to hold on to quick and healthy recipes and a little focus one night to plan your week and shopping is more life enhancing than many of the activities that eat away at our precious time.
As proof of the consumer's power, soda consumption has fallen to a 30-year low in the US after warnings on obesity were widespread. The downside is that the switch to other sugary drinks, including juice, while a better option isn't a great option.
Consumer driven demand is what will change the options in our country. For the health of us all, I hope you are paying attention to what you're eating. If I can help, please let me know. email@example.com

Erika taking aim at South Florida, but no longer forecast to be a hurricane
Even as Tropical Storm Erika continued to dump heavy rain in the northern Caribbean, forecasters say the storm could weaken in the next few hours, likely ruling out odds of becoming a hurricane.
But a weaker storm is more likely to make landfall in South Florida early Monday, where winds could still reach up to 60 mph.
At 5 a.m., Erika was located about 155 miles east, southeast of Santo Domingo with sustained winds of 50 mph. The storm was headed west, northwest at about 17 mph, unleashing tropical storm force winds on the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Those conditions should spread to the Dominican Republic and Haiti later today, where heavy rain could measure as much as a foot.
But as the storm moves across the mountainous islands, forecasters now say Erika is likely to weaken significantly.
While this weakening is likely to aim the storm for Florida, forecasters predict it will no longer be a hurricane by day four or five.
Over the next 12 to 24 hours, they believe the combination of wind shear and high mountains could shred the storm. If it does survive, however, they warn Erika could still rebound in the next two days, with winds topping 60 mph in three days if it lands in Florida early Monday.
With the storm's future track and strength more certain, emergency managers across the state began making preparations. In Miami-Dade County, Mayor Carlos Gimenez will hold a press conference Friday afternoon. On Thursday, Gov. Rick Scott warned residents to load up on supplies, including three days' worth of food and water. The state's Division of Emergency Management also kicked into gear, urging residents to visit its website for help making plans.
At the South Florida Water Management District, officials said they would decide today whether to lower water levels in canals or take other measures to control potential flooding.
"[Friday] afternoon, we'll have a pretty good sign of what we expect," said Jeff Kivet, the district's director of Operations, Engineering and Construction, who said some rain could help drought conditions in Miami-Dade County and parts of Broward, where canals are already low.
Drought has also gripped much of the Caribbean, heightening the risk of flooding and mudslides.
In Dominica, where heavy rain triggered fatal mudslides on the southeast side of the island, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit posted photos of the storm's damage on his Facebook page. Among the photos: a collapsed road, submerged cars and flooding at the island-nation's Douglas-Charles Airport.
Skerrit, who was out of the country and flying back on a helicopter provided by the government of Trinidad and Tobago, said emergency workers were concentrating on search-and-rescue efforts with help from Venezuela, which had sent a helicopter. Skerrit said roads had also been cut off to one village in the mountainous Eastern Caribbean nation.
"The country has been badly beaten," he said. "We can always replace a bridge. The sadness is about the potential loss of life in Dominica. Our hope is that those persons who are missing will be located alive."
Puerto Rico, which is experiencing a historic drought and could be helped by Erika's rain, is also vulnerable to flash-flooding. And on Hispaniola, home to the Dominican Republic and Haiti, rain can easily lead to fatal mudslides.
What path the storm will take remains uncertain as models — some based on global projections and some on shorter-range tropical conditions — continue to disagree. An American global model favored by forecasters calls for a stronger hurricane winding up the coast. But a reliable European model has predicted a weaker storm.
"We have two ends of the spectrum here," said Mike Seidel, a meteorologist with the Weather Channel. "The problem right now is until Saturday, Erika is dealing with a lot of wind shear. All the thunderstorms are not wrapped around the center so Erika can't strengthen."
While those winds helped snuff out Danny, a compact storm, Erika is spread across a much larger area. With tropical storm-force winds extending about 140 miles, Erika is proving to be a tougher foe. Forecasters expect to get a better handle on Erika once they see how close the storm comes to Hispaniola's hurricane-shredding mountains Saturday.
"It's got to get through these hurdles. It has to survive the shear and the topography," Seidel said. "At this point, we really have to wait to see."
On Thursday evening, forecasters expanded tropical storm warnings to include the Dominican Republic, from the northern border with Haiti eastward and southward to Isla Saon; the Southeastern Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands. Warnings also remained in effect for Puerto Rico, Vieques, Culebra, the U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, St. Martin and St. Barthelemy. Tropical storm watches remain for the central Bahamas.

ok so as stated in the subject line i have an HP DL380 G7 running esxi 5.0 free and an ILO3. Is there any way for me to get some decent monitoring of the hardware without paying any extra money for a vmware license which allows me to set the SNMP community string, or without needing to purchase HP SIM? I don't seem to be able to get to the https://[hostname]:2381 management page and from what i've read, that's linux/windows only. Also the firewall of esxi free doesn't seem to be able unblock that port for me. I seem to be receiving test traps from the device to my target server but nothing else.
What iv'e tried so far: -logging into the ilo and setting trap destinations. That allows me to get test traps but i don't get any alerts when the drive status changes. This makes sense since I didn't see any place to setup an alert based on an event -using VMA (vmware management assistant) to set the SNMP community string -setting the esxi free firewall to accept connections on port 2381, though that seems like a dead end.
Any words of wisdom from someone else who has torn out their hair would be welcome!

What a great idea Xerox has come up with! They have put together a cool little site (letssaythanks.com) where you can make and send a thank you card to our troops serving in Iraq. Although you cannot choose the Soldier who receives the card, you can relay a special, personalized "Thank You" to one of the many men and women serving in our US Armed Forces. I hope everyone will take a moment to look over the site. There couldn't be a more appropriate time to lift someone's spirits who may find it even harder to be away from home this time of the year!

Barbagallo Raceway plays host to round four of the 2016 V8 Supercars Championship. The series arrives in Perth in a unique flux where merely days after a naming rights deal with Virgin Australia was announced, Polestar and Volvo Cars Australia announced their withdrawal from the sport at the end of the 2016 season, a disappointing decision, especially after Volvo's clean sweep of Philip Island last time out. It's sad to see Garry Rodgers Motorsport have the rug pulled from beneath their feet. For a team which has unearthed many a talent in the V8SC field to be left without any cars and engines (currently) for 2016 is worrying to say the least, but I have every confidence that GRM will survive, but I'm not sure if that will now be with or without Scott McLaughlin.
I'm sure his, and GRM's future will be hotly debated over the coming weeks however that's a discussion which can begin after the Perth weekend. Below, you can find some of the questions and talking points ahead of the the Perth SuperSprint this coming weekend.
People will be keen to see an on track reaction from GRM
McLaughlin and GRM controlled the Philip Island weekend in a way we hadn't seen them do since 2014. Whilst there will be plenty of off track attention for GRM this weekend I'm sure everyone at the team will be eager to let results on track do the talking with potential manufacturers and sponsors for next season still waiting in the wings. It wasn't just McLaughlin which put in a strong performance last time out. James Moffat enjoyed his best weekend since joining GRM at the start of the season with a seventh placed finish on Saturday confirming that the pace is certainly there.
A perfect response to the departure of Volvo would be to make the podium again this weekend, and I certainly think that's possible. McLaughlin had a torrid time at Barbagallo in 2015 with an 11th, DNF and 18th place over the course of the weekend's three races but with GRM looking to be well back among the frontrunners at this early stage in the 2016 season, V8SC's wanted man is exactly the guy Garry Rodgers needs to carry the team through their last season as a Volvo outfit.
Can PRA finally crack Victory Lane?
Barbagallo was where the PRA Falcons began to come alive last season as Winterbottom and Mostert began their incredible run of race victories and podiums which stretched all the way to Bathurst. Despite not yet taking a win this season, Winterbottom sits third in the championship after some consistent results and the pace Mostert and Cam Waters have shown far outweighs their lowly championship positions of 16th and 18th respectively. Mostert was on course for a podium on Saturday at the Island until a tyre blowout elevated DJRTP's Fabian Coulthard to the final podium spot.
At a track where PRA have traditionally been fast, I wouldn't be surprised to at least one of Frosty or Mostert feature on the podium at some point over the course of the weekend but whether they can convert their fast qualifying pace to race victories remains to be seen. PRA's other car, the #6 Monster Energy Falcon of Cam Waters had a difficult time of it of late, after engine dramas destroyed his chances of finishing it what looked like a very strong position on Sunday in Tasmania. Philip Island was difficult for Waters and he spent the majority of the weekend back in the lower end of the midfield but a Perth track which seems to suit the Falcon I would expect to see him back at the front end of the field. Yet again, that all depends on how well Waters with his (relative) inexperience can manage his tyres on a notoriously tyre hungry track.
HRT need to bounce back
HRT have had a couple of difficult weekends of late, and with rumours beginning to swirl around Courtney, Tander and the team itself it's vital that HRT have a strong weekend, especially with Holden yet to commit post 2016. HRT didn't exactly set the world alight at Barbagallo last season, in fact they haven't for a number of years but they really do need to start getting some strong results. The fact that Tander and Courtney both still sit inside the championship's top ten in largely down to their form at the Clipsal 500 and both drivers have finished inside the top ten on just two occasions since.
I said before that I still believe Courtney and Tander are some of the best racers in the field, and the race pace of the HRT Commodore isn't too bad at all, but its qualifying which keeps on letting them down, and you can't be a poor qualifier when you want to be competing for championships. Especially in a grid as competitive as this. Both HRT's are capable of racing inside the top ten, but will their qualifying form let them down again?
The attention turns to Nissan
With Volvo now gone, all the attention now turns to Nissan Motorsport and Holden as we wait for an announcement about their future in V8 Supercars. Three Nissan Altimas sit inside the championship's top eleven and they certainly have shown a marked improvement this season. Michael Caruso ran inside the top ten on Sunday at Philip Island but we're still waiting for Nissan to make that leap from regular top ten finishers to race winners. It is perhaps the hardest leap at make but I feel that unless it happens soon, then we might not be seeing four Kelly Racing run Altimas in the championship next season.
Rick Kelly has said he wouldn't be surprised if Nissan had been approached by every team in the pitlane, and if that's the case then the Kellys should be a little worried. Rick Kelly ran well at Barbagallo last season, and whilst I don't think Nissan will move backwards it's going to be a huge ask to finish on the podium, but a top five finish should certainly be the target for Caruso or Rick Kelly at some point over the weekend.

A WELL-KNOWN MANUFACTURER of USB devices used to connect to mobile broadband services is to expand its Irish operations, creating over 50 new jobs.
Chinese firm Huawei is to open a new research and development centre, spread across two sites in Dublin and Cork.
The new facility, which will see investment from Huawei over a number of years, could then lead to future expansion where the centres will lead research into a new range of IT products.
"Huawei is one of the companies that I met on my recent trade mission to China and today's announcement that they are opening a new research and development centre creating an additional 50 new jobs in Ireland is very welcome," said jobs minister Richard Bruton.
"In recent months we have seen some good news in this sector and the Government will continue to work hard on implementing the necessary changes to ensure that we can see further announcements like this in the near future."
The investment is being supported by IDA Ireland, whose chief executive Barry O'Leary described the announcement as "a vote of confidence in Ireland's technological capability".
"Huawei Technologies is one of the most prominent brands in the global ICT sector," he said.
Derek Ding, managing director of Huawei Ireland, said the new centre represented a "significant commitment to Ireland", and said the locations in Dublin and Cork had been chosen "for their well-educated, skilled workforce offering the high-quality of talent needed".
Huawei has operated in Ireland since 2004 and currently employs 40 people. It is best known for manufacturing USB mobile broadband dongles used by operators including O2 and Three.

Positive reinforcement, rewards, and patient observation of the response patterns constitute an important part of the clicker dog training process.
Clicker dog training is based on the rudiments of Edward Thorndike's theory of 'connection-ism,' which was the result of a study into animal behavior and learning. In the process, the dog is first made to understand the meaning of the click by providing immediate rewards so as to give them the idea that obeying the clicker means getting rewards that they find it enjoyable. Moreover, once the dog adapts to the sound of the clicker, they learn to be responsive and obedient to other basic commands.
A simple training process, clicker dog training initially needs to be repeated over a number of times. Positive reinforcement of clicker training has proven to be an effective training method not only for dogs but also for species such as pigeons, whales, bears, and lions etc. As you begin with your clicker training, it calls for exercising a lot of restrain and patience so as not to make the whole process seem like forced or confrontational.
Your dog should not be made to do anything by force but to guide them until the desired behavioral outcomes that you as a dog trainer desire. Once you have understood the basics of the clicker training, it will not only prove to be an effective instrument for training dogs, but may also lend you insights into human psychology that we as humans need to know.
As the dogs are presented with the opportunity to have control over the consequences of their actions, they become excited because they know that doing something for you will be followed by rewards that are pleasurable for them. Once your dog is clicker trained, they develop confidence and other instinctive skills required for learning new behaviors.
Clicker dog training may initially be frustrating and you may end up whacking your dogs as result. However, be advised not to resort to punishment or unpleasant actions for unwanted response and behaviors. Although punishments are known to decrease unwanted behaviors in dogs, it is found to be counterproductive, as it produces other unwanted behaviors. Besides, dogs find it difficult to associate clicker with the consequence of punishment, as punishment for animals are random and meaningless.
As opposed to inappropriate negative stimulation, many people involved in clicker dog training also find, that focusing on positive reinforcement yields better and rewarding human-to-animals relationships which, of course is necessary for making the dog obedient.
For your clicker dog training to be effective, use treats that your dog really loves, and as you progress you may follow up teaching them basic commands for less delectable ones. Try to make the training session as interesting and short as possible. More can be learned in short sessions than through long and tedious sessions. Respond to unwanted behavior by clicking for good behavior. Avoid shouting at them for barking at visitors but tell them to be quiet by clicking for silence. Trick your dog into a movement or position for spontaneous outcome, but don't drag them into doing something to 'teach.'
Clicker dog training will be a lot of fun for you and your dog. Go to http://www.clickerstraining.com for more information on clicker training and how to apply it.

A new aircraft management and charter flight company owned by Forest River Inc. President Pete Liegl could help boost funding for the municipal airport in Elkhart, Ind.
The South Bend Tribune reported that Travel Management Co. was formed in March and has been running flights for about 10 days, said Scott Wise, the company's general manager.
Travel Management will run charter flights out of Elkhart Municipal Airport and manage aircraft for businesses and individuals.
The company's turboprop has been in the sky five out of the last seven days, Wise said Wednesday (May 24), and Travel Management already has a commitment from an Elkhart company for 400 hours of flying time per year.
Travel Management also has a seven-passenger jet and is expecting delivery in December on a brand new eight-passenger jet, Wise said.
Some 13 truckloads of steel were delivered Wednesday to the northeast side of the Elkhart airport to build a 50,000-square-foot hangar for Travel Management.
Liegl has invested in excess of $20 million into the project, Wise said.
With RV company executives, suppliers and other business leaders sprinkled around Elkhart County, the need for charter flights is great, said Scott Henely, director of operations for Travel Management.
"There's really nothing based here in Michiana," he said. "Airlines operate on a schedule. It's their schedule, not the CEO's."
If the company is successful, the airport's funding level may benefit also, said airport manager Andrew Maksymovitch.
The new hangar means more revenue from land leasing fees. Increased fuel consumption will be helpful to the on-site vendors who sell it (and pay a fee to the airport).
Travel Management plans on growing its fleet into 2007, Wise said, and that could mean even more takeoffs and landings at the airport, Maksymovitch said.
"We're just very ecstatic that Mr. Liegl has chosen Elkhart to expand in," Maksymovitch said. "It expands our community's reach to other communities within the region."

5 tips for fostering creativity in children
Paper cutter and mum of two, Emily Hogarth shares her top five tips for encouraging children's crafty creativity, plus four inexpensive kids craft ideas to try.
Inclined to tidy around your child when crafting and zip-lock blobs of paint in order to contain the mess? We've all been there. It's tricky to get the right balance of mess and fun, especially when playing He Who Tidies Quickest, Wins! doesn't work anymore. But does uncalculated crafting make us a better creative influence on our kids? We asked Emily Hogarth to share her top tips for inspiring creativity in children (mess and all!) plus a few half term activities you could try…
Clean later
Don't worry – you don't have to be an amazing artist to have fun being creative with your kids. It's much more about doing something together that sparks their creativity, and hopefully yours, too. Also, don't worry about the mess – I think this is often one of the big worries when people talk about doing something creative with their children, but if you are worrying before you even start then no one is going to have any fun. A little mess won't do anyone any harm.
Take in your surroundings
Think about what's going on around you – often people are stuck for inspiration but think about the seasons, nature, holidays – there is always something fun to talk about. I love going on a dog walk and finding something interesting – a flower, a frog at the local pond, or how many other dogs we saw – then use that as my starting point to create something with my children later that day or the next.
Perfectionist, be gone!
Don't expect too much – it is unlikely if you have a three-year-old (as I do) that they are going to sit quietly for hours painting a beautiful picture – but half an hour of engaged painting fun is pretty good in my book. Also, don't be too controlling in what they are painting – children are much more creative when given some space to do what they want.
Be the muse
Use others as inspiration! I find Instagram, Pinterest, blogs and magazines are great ways of seeing what others are doing and that often gives me inspiration and ideas to do something with my kids.
Have fun
I know this is pretty obvious, but if you are having fun, then they will, too!
Emily's 4 favourite ideas to try:
1. Baking
Most children love baking, especially if you let them measure out the ingredients and pour them in themselves. And they will be proud as punch once the cakes or biscuits are baked and then you can eat them together.
2. Large paper roll
Get a large roll of paper and lay it out either over your kitchen table or in your hallway, and let your children draw or paint a local walk. For example, draw their house then draw and chat about all the things they see on their walk to school, café or park – it's a good starting point.
3. Greeting cards
Let your child be abstract and creative with some messy bold painting on some white card – then once it's dry you can cut up the card to make greetings cards. You can make them look really good by using 'happy birthday' stickers on top of the artwork on the cards.
4. Potato printing
Good old-fashioned potato printing – once you have created one, you can print lots of designs.

before i start this post i just want to give a quick apology to Todd. Based on my last post about the Bubinga I'm not sure what response i'll get when i add some more ;)
Alright now here we go. Today was a very good day! My hockey team won in a 1 – 0 thriller and when i got home i had a nice big box sitting on my front porch, and we all know what that means…. MORE TOOLS!!!!! So today my shipment was from Lee Valley and it was quite a big one.
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Exhibit C
Exhibit D
Exhibit E
Exhibit F and G
well thats it for now. my router plane is on backorder. I am very excited to start using these tools. They meet and exceed my expectations from what i have used of them so far. What i also love is how wide the handplanes are and the mass that they have to them. It is a giant improvement over my old stanley #3. As you all know this was quite an expensive order between the saws and the planes and the vices and the other little knick knacks i ordered but for me it was worth it. personally i wouldn't even dare attacking this Bubinga with anything but the best and where i have very little knowledge in tuning up planes i'm not going to trust any planes i tuned up on this bubinga. Also to aid me in milling it i also got a toothed blade for the jointer plane. can't wait to get everything all sharpened up and put to use.
i also got another nice little surprise!!
yep a nice big 16/4 square blank of Bubinga for the pie crust table post.
So coming up soon i have a nice video which i am hoping to get up tonight or tommorow on laying out my cuts on a giant slab like this. also this weekend i will skim plane the pieces as I start to get my shop in order. After the pieces are all skimmed it will be about 2 more weeks before i actually start to work with the pieces. I still have one or more tools to buy as well as a dust collection system to install. But believe me i am very excited about all of this coming together!!!!!111

I always have lots to read. And, thankfully between some web apps like Pocket and Evernote, I pretty much can scan the various online magainze articles I get (about 100 a week) and "clip and post" stuff to the web for reading on my iPad or my iPhone.
I tend not to get too deep into these articles, a quick scan, find a few keywords and "see" a theme for what the article is about all the initial effort I put in. If it feels right, clipped or pocketed, it's saved.
I tend not to get too deep into these articles, a quick scan, find a few keywords and "see" a theme for what the article is about all the initial effort I put in. If it feels right, clipped or pocketed, it's saved.
Well I happend to come across the article titled "Hefty Redemptions In Mutual Funds" that appeard in Financial Planning Magazine last week, and it was only that I had been using another article in a conversation with a client that this particular article or portion of it, jumped out at me:
"Once again, U.S. equity funds took the brunt of the most recent drubbing, losing an estimated $3.08 billion in outflows, a sharp reversal from the previous week's $906 million inflow. The outflow was less than half the huge $7.2 billion outflow the week ended May 23...."
Really? We're still at it huh? Still believing in tooth fairies and elves it seems. Do we really think that all this fernetic activity is how we're going to get ahead? Boy, Wall Street has got you sold on trading.
Here's the immutable reality out there for all the folks that believe it's "TIMING THE MARKET" that makes money when every piece of research within reason will tell you it's "TIME IN THE MARKET" that wins the day; you're not going anywhere by getting in and getting out. Oh I know, you'll look at the week you weren't in and say that you avoided the 8% drop, but won't count the 12% you lost the following week when you hadn't gotten back in on time as a loss. That's not math, that's convenience. By the way, I prefer to think of my Hyundai Sonata as a Porsche 911 Turbo. (It's not by the way, no matter how much I think it is. And, avoiding and 8% drop followed by missing a 12% gain is a 12% loss.)
When will we learn that strategy most times involve doing absolutely nothing except sticking to a plan?
I can hear Wall Street's cash register ringing even as I write this....trading doesn't make anybody money except the traders.

Statins And High Cholesterol Remedy Guidelines2 min read
If a tablet or medication causes any troublesome negative effects, discuss to the physician about changing the dose, when to take the tablets, or whether or not a unique drugs could be extra appropriate for you. The new drug has the potential to revolutionize care significantly for two teams of sufferers – those that have inherited high ldl cholesterol and those that have had a coronary heart assault and are not capable of tolerate a statin, mentioned Dr. Robert Zelis , director emeritus of the lipid clinic at Penn State Hershey Coronary heart and Vascular Institute.
If the premise had been true that individuals with high levels of LDL ldl cholesterol get coronary heart illness, then we could assume that individuals with normal levels of LDL shouldn't get coronary heart illness, or not less than very few should get it. Nevertheless, as Dr. DeBakey noticed, roughly 60{5eaaffee4ab337c81141f96681956eea5098eb1163177439c915f87ef21be5e7} of those that die from heart illness have normal LDL levels of cholesterol!
The businesses are asking the drugs be approved to be used in three groups of patients: these with excessive ranges of LDL cholesterol who cannot decrease it enough with statins; folks at very high danger as a result of they have already had a coronary heart assault or who have diabetes and may't get their ranges low sufficient with statins; and people with excessive levels of LDL who cannot tolerate statins.
Nonetheless the 1987 report of Nationwide Cholesterol Schooling Program suggest the entire blood cholesterol degree ought to be much less 200 mg/dl normal blood ldl cholesterol, if the ldl cholesterol degree is between 200 and 239 mg/dl it is thought-about borderline-excessive, and better than 240 mg/dl is taken into account high ldl cholesterol level.
As statins present little considerable protection against cancer, and like all medication have opposed results together with but not restricted to an increased threat of developing kind II diabetes and reminiscence loss or impairment, a significantly larger benefit could be achieved by decreasing LDL ldl cholesterol with a complete-meals plant based mostly weight-reduction plan combined with regular train as a way to not solely lower the danger of cardiovascular disease however many other continual and degenerative illnesses.
