I Love Insight Pest Solutions. Since we have serviced our house over a year now there have been no pests. We used to have ugly yellow spiders all over the house and they would build their nests in the corners of the ceiling and wall and now they no longer come around. We had a lot of small ants but they are gone now. I love that they use natural ingredients so we do not have to worry about our cat or the neighbors animals. Their prices are very reasonable for all the work they do. Get their service, you'll be so happy you did.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick hopes New England doesn't have to face Saquon Barkley
New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick knows what kind of talent New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is, and that's why he hopes he doesn't have to face him on Thursday night. Speaking to the media on Monday, Belichick had nothing but praise about Barkley and said even though he is an exciting player to watch, he doesn't hope he has to gameplan for him.
"He's an outstanding player," Belichick said via Pro Football Talk. "You're right, we haven't faced him, and I hope we don't, but we need to be ready for him. He's a very competitive guy, I'm sure he's doing all he can to get ready to go. He was close last week, so we'll probably get him."
The good news for Belichick is it looks like he is getting his wish. Although he hasn't been completely ruled out, all signs are pointing towards Barkley needing at least another week to get ready, and this being a short week probably hasn't helped the preparation.
Not only are the Giants expected to be without Barkley, but it also seems like a long shot that backup Wayne Gallman will be playing. Gallman suffered a concussion against the Minnesota Vikings, and on a short week, it's going to be very hard to get him cleared in time.
That means it will be all fall on the shoulders of undrafted rookie Jon Hilliman. He rushed nine times against the Vikings after Gallman went out for only 20 yards. If the Giants want to pull off the upset, he is going to need to have a big game.

Being creatures of the night, save those rare few with daywalking charms and blessed or cursed with eternal life, Vampires gravitate toward formalities and bureaucracy to maintain order over centuries and streamline lives in which constant danger and backstabbing lead to high turnover in authority. It is a rare vampire who eschews the niceties of the undead with a preference for anarchy, and such vampires are typically held as outside the politics of the City, though they may be viewed as exciting or entertaining creatures by their brethren. A vampire raised by a Sire who educated them properly—or simply any vampire who has survived their first year of unlife—will understand the rudimentary political structure described herein. Each sire is expected to teach these matters to their childer, and any sire who fails to do so will be held accountable for their childe's breaches by the Keeper of the City. Ambitious vampires vie for a position within the City's ranks, though most will serve first as a whip or councillor. (Terms explained below. These positions are earned through role play, not assigned out of character. No character still under the Tradition of Accounting may hold a position of authority.)
Prince: Ruler of the city. The title is Prince regardless of the gender of the one who holds the position. The Tradition of Hospitality demands that new Vampires to the city introduce themselves to the Prince and gain the right to feed in their territory. An introduction to the Prince may need to be secured from a current citizen. (Alternatively, a new vampire to the city may send their calling card to the Seneschal to be afforded an appointment with the Prince. It is understood that the new vampire will not hunt until given leave by the Prince—although they may choose to break this rule and suffer consequences.)
Seneschal: Appointed by the Prince. The Seneschal is the go-between for the population and the Prince. If a given matter is less than emergency level and of less than epic proportions, it must be presented to the Seneschal first. Particularly powerful vampires may try to address the Prince directly, with varying degrees of success and social consequences. The Seneschal also acts as arbiter for smaller disagreements between vampires—trivial or minor matters that should not bother the Prince. Matters of blood or life debts go before the Prince instead, but the Seneschal may arrange this audience. When the Prince is away, the Seneschal acts in their stead and must answer for their actions and decisions when the Prince returns!)
Sheriff: Appointed by the Prince. Oversees the defense of the Kindred within the city. Keeps tabs on other supernaturals, in particular Hunters, and, when necessary, organizes battles. Attacks must still be approved by the Prince and Council. However, a savvy Sheriff can ask forgiveness for a well-laid assault rather than risk being denied permission. Success in such matters is generally ruled as more important than politeness.
Keeper: Appointed by the Prince. Plans and hosts gatherings for the Vampire citizenry. The Keeper is also responsible for ensuring the latest generation of vampires is being properly educated on the Traditions. Should a fledgling not possess a proper sire to educate them, the Keeper may take on their education, coordinate an adoptive sire for them, or, in certain circumstances, recommend an offensive and unaccounted for fledgling be banished or killed to maintain the Veil.
Councillor: Each coterie or clan assigns a Vampire to sit on the council. The council advises the Prince but has no decision-making power. The councillor ensures that their clan or coterie is heard by the Prince and the others of the Council, acting as their clan or coterie's voice. Each coterie or clan of 4 or more Vampires may be represented on the council. Councillors are not called by their personal name but by the name of their clan or coterie. This is a formality that serves to always remind the councillors of their purpose. (And, in SL where there can be high turnover, ensures simplicity. For example, a Vampire of Clan Douglas would always be Councillor Douglas in formal speech, and called by a personal name only informally, regardless of their personal name. In cases of coteries with elaborate names, this persists. For example, a coterie called Per Aeternum would have Councillor Per Aeternum.)
Whip: Each coterie or clan assigns a backup Vampire for the council seat. A Vampire empowered to sit in on a meeting when their Councillor is unavailable. This vampire is also often responsible for back door deals to try and sway other clans or coteries to support the position of that whip's Councillor
I. The Masquerade: Every member of the princedom commits to concealing the existence of vampire-kind from mortals. Should a breach of the Masquerade become known, the vampire responsible may be punished harshly, as determined by the Court, up to and including final death. This includes sharing details of vampire existence, strengths, and weaknesses with non-vampires, feeding indiscreetly, disposing of bodies indiscreetly, and using vampiric powers in a noticeable manner around mortals. Maintaining the Masquerade is the foremost tradition of the Princedom, made all the more necessary by technology and overpopulation in the modern age.
II. Hospitality: The tradition of hospitality dictates that visitors to a domain must present themselves to the ruler of that domain and ask permission before hunting within it. The entirety of Clifton Forge is considered to be the Prince's domain, and all vampires seeking to join the Princedom must present themselves at once to the Court to be acknowledged as allies of the Prince. It is understood that the Court will never decline hospitality to a visiting vampire or new resident without significant reason, though the Court may, at its discretion, charge a boon against the newcomer as proof of good faith.
III. Domain: The tradition of domain instructs that each vampire's personal domain must be respected. Within a town as small as Clifton Forge, only the Prince is considered to have geographic domain, but individual kindred may lay claim to personal blood donors, ghouls, and pets. These should be clearly identified in some manner so that other kindred will not mistake them as unclaimed. Should a vampire ignore or disrespect another's claim on their personal domain, they may be brought before the Court for punishment.
IV. Right of Creation: Princedom vampires must receive permission to create progeny from the Court before making a childe. Childer created without the Court's approval may be destroyed at the Court's say-so and/or forbidden to feed within the Prince's domain. Every vampire considering the making of progeny should fully consider the potential ramifications of their choice and be prepared to present a sound argument to the Court. The Court may also require a boon in exchange for permission. Should a new childe prove intractable or unsuited for the eternal night, their sire may be asked to "reclaim their blood" by destroying the childe. Should the sire refuse to do so, the Court may appoint another to do what the sire will not.
V. Accounting: Until a Sire releases a new childe from accounting, the childe's actions are the sire's responsibility. The sire is liable and punishable for the childe's mistakes, especially breaches of the Masquerade. Should a fledgling enter the Clifton Forge princedom without a sire for any reason, that fledgling should present themselves to the Court, which will rule whether the fledgling is eligible to reside in the Princedom on their own recognizance . Should a fledgling be found unfit for such responsibility, they may be blood-bound and adopted into an existing Princedom vampire's clan. An unfit fledgling who refuses adoption may, at the Court's discretion, be banished from the Princedom, denied rights to hunt within the Prince's domain, or even destroyed.
VI. Right of Destruction: The right of destruction and the right to call the Blood Hunt belongs solely to the Prince or the Prince's agent. No princedom vampire may slay another princedom vampire without specific dispensation. It is at the Prince's word alone that Final Death may be visited as punishment upon our kind.
Clan: a group of vampires of the same bloodline. One of the benefits of having a clan is that a sire can create a telepathic connection with any of their progeny which allows two-way communication between the two.
Coterie: a group that associates closely. This may be strictly vampires or may include non-vampires.
Council event: The city positions and any clan or coterie leads who qualify meet to discuss issues involving the city.
Court event: Usually a fancy affair. Everyone who wishes to speak to the Prince should speak to the Seneschal first to get "on the list" to be called. This is a good time for Vampires new to the city to petition the Prince for feeding rights in the domain, particularly if they do not have other means of introduction. Any Vampire with a matter of blood or life debts (Princely issues, rather than Seneschal issues) may address the Prince as well, in an orderly fashion, as called by the Seneschal.
Currently events are held on the following dates:
1st Thursday of the Month (even months at 6-8pm SLT): Vampire Council
1st Thursday of the Month (odd months at 9-11am SLT): Vampire Council
3rd Thursday of the Month (even months at 6-8pm SLT): Vampire Court
3rd Thursday of the Month (odd months at 9-11am SLT): Vampire Court
The Blood Temple: Located beneath the city past a labyrinth of tunnels, the Blood Temple is a heavily guarded vampire-only haven. Staffed by the mutated and disfigured underground vampires this location boasts all manner of creature comforts.
The Sip'n'Bite: Located in the center of town, this night club is a frequent hang-out by city vampires. By no means exclusive, it is not an official sanctuary. All manner of creatures can be found here even if most expect it to be under the control of the vampires.
We all know drama is great for role-play if it's the IC type (IE: sexual perversions, drug addictions, mental problems, etc...) We are all for story line advancement, but OOC drama will not be tolerated.
If you would like to become a member of the court please contact
or seek out a court member ICly. Leads may also be reached via the Clifton Forge Discord server at

In the Standard Model, the Higgs boson was introduced to explain how particles acquired mass and the symmetry between weak nuclear and electromagnetic forces was spontaneously broken. Its presence raises serious potential problems at high energy (the hierarchy problem).
EU-funded scientists analysed an alternative solution that demands a composite Higgs particle via a new force, the Technicolor force. One of the ideas to address the hierarchy problem posed by the Higgs particle was explored. This idea involves a new strong interaction at high energy the Technicolor interaction modelled as an SU(N) gauge theory with techniquarks. In this theoretical framework, the origin of electroweak symmetry breaking can be explained dynamically without the introduction of a fundamental Higgs boson. The Higgs boson is instead a bound state of the techniquarks. The simplest model of technicolor is a scale-up of quantum chromodynamics (QCD).

This is a Complaint / Review about Augusta Grand Jury Reports on augusta fire department, 2012.
Augusta-Richmond County Grand Jury Reports in the ... of impropriety and, at worst, provides an opportunity for corruption.
www.dcwatch.com/govern/fire000601c.htm THE TRUTH BEHIND THE AUGUSTA FIRE DPARTMENT SCANDEL (2008-2012): Hiring procedures introduced in 2007 include applicant interviews and agility testing, Fire Chief Howard Willis; who has been fired in early 2012, said. The procedures are followed to the letter and candidates are hired from the top scorers down, Willis said. Which is a Lie, and only part of the misconduct that is really going on at The Fire Department. Assistant Chief Christopher James has been wrongfully firing new firefighters in 2009, for an unfair nepotism policy. Then re-hires ONLY some of the firefighters, once the department did away with the policy, a lot of good firefighters lost their jobs & could no longer provide for their families!!! But the Augusta Fire Dept.'s training program, TAKES THE CAKE; under James direction, that has encouraged lousy firefighters to harrass, bully, assult, and threaten other firefighters; who are better qualified than "Christopher James's Flunkies"! Official complaints have been issued to Director Ms. Humphrey at the E.O.A. Currently Asst. Chief James and the entire Fire Department is under investigation, for racism, harrassment, terrorisitic threats, and wrongful terminations against fellow firefighters. Firemen along with James that are suspected of criminal activity are: Scott E. Walker, Lt. Brown/Lt. Lee (under Asst. Chief James), Recruit Firefighters; Myles, Smith, Wolmack, Zanwiger, Santadota, Mullins, Johnson, A. Johnson, Parrish, Garcia, and Female recruit Ms. Guest.
2.If You Know anything about Augusta, Aiken Counties (The C.S.R.A)-Corruption, racism, and injustice toward Black Men are common place; especially From The Public School System, Board of Education, Police Departments, and our U.S. Military Branches. But we as Americans, should not expect this kind of inhumanity from an Institution that we all hold dear (especially after 9/11); such as The Fire Department! But the sad truth is that in The Fire Service, there is indeed lots of racism, feminism, and lack of true brotherhood amongst fellow firefighters. Hopefully this new report and criminal investigation will change some very bad practices in The Augusta Fire Department.
"It's more beneficial if we can keep good & honest Firefighters; like Dr. Beckles & Sloan Griffin employed, instead of keeping on degenerates, racists, and lousy firefighters, " Jackson said.
"N.A.A.C.P. Augusta Chapter President: Dr. Franklyn Beckles, Jr., helps the Media EXPOSE RACIST CRIMINALS"

By Philip Blenkinsop
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Union is keeping its options open after the United States threatened to hit French goods with tariffs of up to 100%, although negotiations and an appeal to the World Trade Organization are its preferred choices.
Washington said on Monday it may impose duties of up to 100% on $2.4 billion in imports from France of Champagne, handbags, cheese and other products, after concluding that France's new digital services tax would harm U.S. tech firms.
EU trade chief Phil Hogan, who only began his job this week, met French finance minister Bruno Le Maire on Wednesday to discuss the topic, on which new European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen also commented.
Le Maire told reporters Hogan had assured him the European Union would be united behind France.
"The proposed sanctions are unacceptable and the European Commission confirmed that all options are on the table," he said.
Hogan assured Le Maire that, as in all trade-related matters, the EU would act and react as one, a Commission spokesman said.
The Commission, which coordinates trade policy on behalf of the EU's 28 members, preferred to settle trade disputes at the WTO.
However, should the U.S. simply push ahead with tariffs, the EU would react "in a proportionate manner", a Commission spokesman said, citing Hogan.
Von der Leyen said she preferred talks to see if both sides could find a solution beneficial to both.
"I'm aware of the fact that this will not be the case in every case, but of course if there is a negative outcome in some cases we are ready to act on our own," she said.
Le Maire said the United States still needed to respond to a proposal from the OECD on how to tax the digital economy and he would be discussing this with U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin later on Wednesday.
The Commission said it wanted to find a stable and long-term solution to taxation of the digital economy.

Forewarned is forearmed. Don't be fooled by that faraway look in a moose's eyes.
He's not looking to woo you. It's your car he's after.
More specifically, the road salt caking your car.
Authorities in the western province of Alberta have issued a warning: Beware of vehicle-licking moose as you travel through provincial parks and trails.
Moose, like other animals, need a healthy dose of salt to keep their blood in good shape. If that salt is lacking in their daily diets, they tend to look elsewhere for replenishment.
Guess where!
Officials say motorists should keep at least 30 metres away from any moose they might encounter and to honk their horn if a moose approaches.
And, the officials say, do NOT attempt to push a moose away from your vehicle.
Why? A female moose weighs an average of 750-926 pounds, a male moose averages between 992 and 1,102 pounds.
Authorities have not said how many moose-licking incidents have been reported this year but add that incidents are not often reported.
No end date to the warning has been issued.
Ah, Canada. A winter wonderland.

Chelmsford City Races Live
After first opening in 2008, the course suffered with financial difficulties and close in 2009 with racing not taking place again until 2015 at the renamed Chelmsford City track.
The racecourse is actually nearer to Braintree than Chelmsford and has found its own niche with their being no racetrack in Essex and East London.
The Chelmsford City course is an 8.5 furlong (1.7 kilometres) left handed track that utilises a Polytrack surface in an oval shape. The home straight is 2 furlongs long meaning the action at the front of races is normally reserved for sprinters.
If you are looking to watch Chelmsford racing live online you are in the right place. Our Chelmsford horse race live stream partners bring you all of the action live online.
As one of the leading horse racing countries in the world, there is roughly one race course per million people in Great Britain but Chelmsford was built to serve the populations of Essex, which had no racecourse beforehand, east London and Hertfordshire, all of which have a population of over 3,000,000.
That shows the potential to attract big crowds and that in turn will allow the track to increase purses and attract the best jockeys, the best trainers and the best horses.
As a new course and one that has continued to improve and to seek improvements and development, including plans for a turf track to add to its all weather track, it is no surprise that the course has already developed a number of notable races.
The good news for racing fans is that all of these can be watch via our Chelmsford races live stream partners.
Notable races at Chelmsford City racecourse include:
The Cardinal Stakes– A flat race run over 1 mile for 3 year old horses races in April.
The Chelmer Fillies Stakes– A listed flat race run over 6 furlongs for 3 year old fillies raced in May.
The Queen Charlotte Fillies Stakes– A listed flat race run over 7 furlongs for 4 year old fillies raced in June.
Never miss a race from Chelmsford City racecourse again as our Chelmsford City live stream partners bring you each and every race live. Watch Chelmsford racing live online.

Hunger for Better Takeout Drives Marco's Pizza Franchise Sales Growth
Marco's pizza franchise wins more repeat customers, which helps drives sales for franchise owners
When busy Americans ask what's for dinner, more and more often the answer is takeout. And we don't want another bland burger with an order of fries. We want pizza, and when we open the box at home, it has to taste as hot, fresh and delicious as it does in the restaurant.
Not every brand measures up. Marco's does. Quality is one of the strengths that separates the Marco's pizza franchise from competing brands. Marco's delivers pizzas that our customers enjoy more, which drives repeat business and increases revenues for franchise owners. It's one of the reasons Marco's has become the fastest-growing pizza franchise in America.
What consumer demand means for Marco's owners
More than half of Americans – 51% to be exact – order takeout at least once a week, according to a report by food industry analyst Technomic. The vast majority of us – eight out of 10 – order pizza. That popularity has made pizza is a $40 billion a year industry.
So, we know that millions of Americans are going to order pizza every day. How do they choose where they'll order?
Quality. Marco's commitment to quality and taste has our customers coming back again and again. When we hired the Procter & Gamble Test Kitchen, MRSI, to conduct a four-month study with focus groups, 72% of people who tried Marco's pizza said they'd purchase it again. When customers tried the closest competing national chain, only half as many – 36% – said they would go back.
The difference? Some pizza chains may cut corners and use frozen cheeses and pre-chopped toppings. At Marco's, you'll find the freshest ingredients. Our cheese is never frozen, and we always slice our veggies right in the kitchen every day. We use premium, thick-cut meats from top-quality suppliers, including meatball-sized sweet Italian sausage and two types of pepperoni.
Marco's dough is made fresh in the stores each day, using flour made from a high-protein spring wheat grown for us in Minnesota. All Marco's employees and owners are trained on the exact method for making the perfect dough. Our sauce is made from a hybrid tomato specially developed for us to produce the perfect taste and texture for pizza sauce.
At Marco's, we know that taste and quality are just as important to consumers as convenience. Americans appreciate the effort that goes into authentic food, and that is how every Marco's pizza is prepared.
A pizza franchise winning national accolades
We recently opened our 500th location and have commitments to build 1,000 more. And our stores have experienced same-store sales increases almost every quarter since 2004.
Our success has garnered a lot of attention. Marco's was ranked No. 104 on Entrepreneur magazine's prestigious Franchise 500 list in 2014. Franchise Business Review included Marco's on its annual Top 200, a list of the best systems for franchisee satisfaction. AllBusiness ranked Marco's the No. 6 Allstar Franchise System for 2013, based on its top rating for strong financial performance.
Our growth is accelerating, but we still have prime territories available. Now is the time to get started.
Learn more about Marco's
At Marco's, we're excited about our rapid growth, and there's never been a better time for the new or experienced investor to join our proven concept. If you're an entrepreneur with a passion for working with people, owning a Marco's pizza franchise may be the perfect fit for you. To learn more about joining our dynamic and growing company, please fill out the form below or call us at 1-800-262-7267 to start a conversation. We'd love to hear from you!

Kick It Forward Program Pays 12 Members' Dues in 2019
December 20, 2019
The Kick It Forward Program paid 12 members' dues for 2019 totaling $3,300.
The program was born out of a desire to help fellow lawyers with financial difficulties. With the many economic challenges lawyers face today, it can be a struggle to build up and maintain a legal practice. That's why the Young Lawyers Division launched Kick It Forward in 2015, with a mission to assist lawyers of all ages in need by paying their OBA dues while they get on their feet.
The program is funded by donations made through an election on your dues statement. By completing the Kick It Forward line, lawyers agree to pay $20, or the amount of their choice, to the program in addition to annual dues.
For more information on the program or to apply for assistance, visit www.okbar.org/kif.

Fire/EMS Helpline: You Are Not Alone
September 26, 2017
The National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) asked Fire/EMS Helpline co-founder Mike Healy of American Addiction Centers about the Helpline, why it was started, and what firefighters, EMTs, and their families can expect if they call.
Who will answer when a first responder makes a call to the Helpline?
The Helpline will be answered by either me or Mike Blackburn. We are both credentialed EAPs (Employee Assistance Professionals) with over 30 years experience in the fire service.
Why did you get involved in the Helpline?
I retired as the clinical director of the NYC Transit Assistance Program in 2008 and have known for years the need for a behavioral health program for firefighters. I also have over 40 years in the volunteer fire service. Mike Blackburn retired from Providence (RI) Fire Department where he started the PFD Members Assistance Program in the mid 1990s.
What kind of questions will a caller be asked?
Naturally we have to get to the root of the problem. Last names or departments are not necessary but the focus has to be on the problem by listening to the symptoms. Complete confidentiality is of utmost importance. We both know the questions to ask and the best course of action to follow. All decisions on treatment are left to the caller.
Can callers remain anonymous?
It can be 100 percent anonymous or not. It's up to the caller.
Will the caller's department find out they called?
We have no reason to contact your department and it is not a requirement to tell us where you belong as a member.
What types of issues does the Helpline address?
Behavioral health issues cover every possible issue. This includes PTSD, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse, to name a few.
When is the Helpline available?
The hotline is available 24/7. Every call is important to us.
What types of resources will the Helpline counselor provide?
Depending on the nature of the problem we can deal with suggestions for any type of problem. Referrals to in-patient substance abuse facilities, local outpatient facilities, local PTSD-certified therapists, etc.
What happens after a call?
Any decisions are yours to decide. We may offer you choices that you can make to make your life better. We do not offer treatment as much as point the caller in a direction that they may find a solution to help their situation. This may be a referral to local resources to help with your specific problem, or you can be admitted to one of our treatment facilities where there are licensed counselors trained in the fire service culture. If treatment is needed, we work with your insurance to make sure there is no cost to you.
Anything else you'd like to tell a potential caller?
After receiving thousands of calls on the Helpline I can assure you that whatever your problem is you are not the only person experiencing it. We have a history in the fire service of acting strong while crumbling inside. If you are suffering, make the call. Nobody will judge you or make you do anything you don't want to. All the decisions are left to you.
Note: If you need help, call the Fire/EMS Helpline at 1-888-731-FIRE (3473).

The Best Advice About I've Ever Written


text:
If there is any phrase or expression that would aptly describe the ongoing fiscal and economic palaver that has rocked the euro zone in the past two years. It is the influential phrase crafted by Nigeria's late musical icon; Fela Anikulapo: "…Austeri, Austerity".
From Britain down to the 'PIGS' (Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain), the euro zone has known no peace since the financial crisis which enveloped the global economy in 2007. As a consequence, in Britain the coalition government of Mr Cameron has embarked on the country's most aggressive fiscal cut since early 80s at the height of 'Madam Thatcher's' tight fisted regime. Mr Cameron's ambition is to achieve huge cost savings and improve efficiency while offsetting his country's huge deficits. The prime minister's ambitious cuts has led to huge austerity measures where welfare cuts has been flanked by huge decline in government funding for public projects. In Greece, despite an earlier bailout of $158 billion by the EU and Mr Dominic Strauss Kahn's former IMF, the country is still in huge crisis prompting severe austerity measures which have since led to lower tax receipts and increasing deficits.
In Ireland, Portugal and Spain – debts are soaring prompting the governments to embark on more stringent and aggressive austerity measures to payoff their debts and balance their growth. Given this crisis, the IMF has warned of another impending systemic crisis which could lead to an implosion of the euro zone and indeed another recession as Japan has recently slipped. Inspite of this wealth of challenges, there's something very fascinating about the workings of the euro zone and it is fact that unlike many African states, the costs of goods have not risen inappropriately or considerably as far as many market watchers are concerned.
More interesting is the rate of inflation which has not risen above 4.5% in the heat of the zone's crisis in the past year. 4.5% is a figure that might not be fascinating to European economists but for African economists, it is a propitious landmark. It is a figure that is indeed very fascinating because even in the tightest season of economic frugality or at any peace time in developing economies or African nations to be specific - there has never been an inflation rate so smart at least in the last decade (with the exception of few).
While economists would tell us that euro zone's problems were triggered by the dynamics of Germany's growth process in the past decade as well as the loss of policy options for euro zone peripheral countries. The real truth will unravel in the coming years and it is the reality that Europe and especially some part of the zone including Britain have recently thrived on rent seeking behaviours. (In economics, rent seeking derives from a country's consistent manipulative attempt to doctor the socioeconomic environment rather than growth through the addition of real values).
In Britain for example inward and outward FDI is the third largest in the world owing to scheming and economic manipulative measures called FDI attractiveness. The benefit of such huge flows on one hand is that it helps in the creation of new jobs, formulation of modern businesses and facilitation of better extraction of rents. The problem on the other hand is that it pushes forward the D –day. The D-day is that very inglorious day when the final bubble will burst like the Dotcom and the housing bubble burst. Europe's bubble will surely burst when Asia, Africa and other emerging economies build up the competencies that Britain and other European economies packages and sells to developing economies as services.
Britain and Europe's bubble will burst when developing economies put sanity and order into their own chaotic social and economic environment. If Sub-Saharan African states like Nigeria for example grow strong and globally competitive indigenous oil companies, refines its own crude and only ship the final product to Europe and other markets. A significant FDI flow through Europe and Britain in particular would be cut. Similarly, if Sub- Saharan African countries build competencies in high value services, technology and other key areas in industry without patronising Europe's ridiculously expensive consulting firms like Accenture and their likes. Billions of cost savings would be made each year and Europe would feel the squeeze. A remarkable blow on Europe would even be dealt if 60% of Sub-Saharan African raw materials are processed and turned into value added products at home.
The question is whether such thing would ever be possible in the near future of any Sub-Saharan African nation. Let's take Nigeria for example, since the last decade, the country has seen no consistent growth and inflation rates have been around 11% on average – a rate that forms huge barrier to growth. In World rankings – Nigeria is amongst those with lowest GDP per head – all in spite of the fact that it is amongst the few countries with the largest surpluses as a percentage of GDP - a position which many industrialised countries like the United States, UK and many European countries are longing to reach to achieve economic balance. This is a strong indication that Nigeria and economies of is kind are not ready to challenge a sick and ailing Europe inspite of their huge financial power.
The real bone of contention here is that many of euro zone's growth over the years has been overly doctored and based on false expansion. This is not an allegation but a fact known by economists and European central banks. It is also a fact well known that negative results such as those confronted presently will definitely not be the last. Already, the IMF has warned of another impending systemic crisis which could lead to recession in some economies. However, since central banks in the euro zone and Europe generally are not sleeping, they have something in the offing and that is called policy.
Analysts are closely projecting that Europe and many challenged euro zone peripherals might use the strategy called 'second generation structural reforms'. "The policy basically involves the longer-term responsiveness of economies that have had their comparative advantages eroded and now see their populations stranded on the wrong side of significant global changes" (FT, June 25, 2010). A typical (SGSR) policy would include huge reforms in property rights, trade policy re-conceptualization, financial sector liberalization, exchange rates reforms and human capital training and re-retraining amongst many.
While the outcome of such long term reform might turn-out well for Europe, it would certainly mark another competitive milieu for developing nations and the likes of Nigeria. For example – as part of a new monetary reform, the EU might come to an agreement to devalue the Euro far lower than Mr Bernanke and his team can play with their dollar. In such scenario (if it ever happens), Nigeria and its like can be rest assured that a big problem would emerge. Apart from the potentiality of oil income seeing a steep and permanent decline, Europe would possibly be the new cynosure for global investment and business and such development could mark a significant reversal of global investment trend and the recent focus on emerging economies.
The key message here is that Europe and many of the euro zone economies including Britain are at cross roads. Such cross road is marked by their continuous rent seeking behaviours and the loss of real value on which growth is hinged. Given the present challenges and those of the future, EU's present disposition clearly shows that it is looking forward to a real reform which would bring back comparative and competitive advantage amongst its members. Such disposition would certainly be marked by new policies, strategies and renewed focus on long-term results. Certainly, the implications of such 'come back' for developing economies and the Nigeria of present might be harsher than thought.
Some says it would mark an increased opportunistic regime for developing economies since Europe would need better alliance and partnership to renew its strength. Wherever the pendulum swings – what is certain is that the future would not only be about comparative advantage but about competitive advantage and the sustenance of such.
Given the emergence of China and the BRICs in particular, the next 10-20 years will mark some of the most interesting and challenging for economies and policy makers around the World. What it takes struggling economies like Nigeria if it would be relevant in the future is to focus on creating real value through innovative products and high valued services by fostering a mix of service oriented and industrial economy, develop long-term partnership with emerging tigers like China, India and the rest and create a sophisticated and dynamic breed of graduates and technical youths that would lead the next generation of development and growth. From a strategy perspective product and market development would do it. (The two involves developing a set of new and valuable products from primary sources and selling them aggressively to new and different markets around the world).
