Stakes raised in the US-China trade conflict.
What happens in China, matters for investors. It is the world's second largest economy, accounting for around 20% of global GDP, and has had an increasingly important influence on the global economic cycle in recent years. Unsurprisingly, therefore, adverse developments regarding both the strength of the Chinese economy and the state of US-China relations have unsettled financial markets in recent weeks.
Take US-China relations first. The run-up in global equity markets during the first four months of 2019 had, in part, been based on the assumption that the US and China would agree a trade deal by the summer. Progress in ongoing trade talks was expected to halt the sequence of tit-for-tat tariffs that President Donald Trump had initiated in the spring of 2018. However, this optimism was shattered when negotiations broke down at the beginning of May, amidst US accusations that the Chinese had reneged on several aspects of the draft trade deal.
Trade war escalates
As a result, the trade war has escalated. On 10 May, the US authorities raised the tariff on US $200 billion worth of Chinese imports from 10% to 25%, and on 1 June China retaliated by increasing tariff rates on US $60 billion worth of imports from the US. In addition, President Trump has threatened to impose a 25% on the remaining US $300 billion worth of Chinese imports if an agreement between the two countries is not secured at the forthcoming G20 summit in Japan on 28-29 June.
Moreover, it is becoming clear that the conflict is now moving beyond the mere exchange of tariffs and is morphing into a broader economic and technology war. In mid-May, the US Department of Commerce banned the Chinese telecoms giant Huawei from doing business with American companies without special approval due to security concerns. In response, Beijing has announced several counter-measures, including drawing up its own list of foreign entities it deems as harming Chinese companies. In a bid to undermine the US tourism sector, which benefitted from nearly three million Chinese visitors in 2018, Beijing has issued travel warnings to Chinese residents thinking of vacationing in the US. There has also been talk of Chinese consumers boycotting American goods.
In addition, China's National Development and Reform Commission is considering proposals to restrict exports of so-called rare-earth minerals. Such minerals are key inputs in the production of high-tech goods such as smartphones, electric vehicles and military equipment. Given that China accounts for about 80% of all rare-earth materials supplied to the US, such a move could produce significant disruption.
Chinese economy slows
The souring of US-China relations has come at a time when Chinese economic data has also taken a turn for the worse. During the first quarter of the year, hopes were high that the economy was stabilising, following the marked deceleration witnessed in 2018. China's GDP grew 6.4% year-on-year in Q1, the same pace as that seen in the final quarter of 2018. However, recent data has cast doubt on the view that Beijing's domestic stimulus measures were offsetting the negative impact of the trade conflict. Figures for May showed growth in industrial output slowing to 5.0% year-on-year – a 17-year low – as output of automobiles and computer equipment saw sharp slowdowns.
The latest round of protectionist measures from the Trump administration threaten to make matters worse. Huawei announced on 17 June that the US blacklisting of the company had contributed to a 40% month-on-month fall in sales of its handsets in May and had forced it to revise down sales forecasts by around US $30 billion. Huawei's annual revenues are now expected to be flat at around US $100 billion this year and next.
The downbeat mood at Huawei chimes with a broad deterioration in confidence amongst Chinese manufacturers. The latest Markit manufacturing PMI survey showed sentiment regarding future output dropping to its lowest level since the gauge began in April 2012. Although data from the services and retail sectors has been somewhat firmer, there is a risk that job losses in manufacturing will take their toll on household sentiment. The official NBS manufacturing survey for May showed the employment sub-index falling to a 10-year low. With household incomes squeezed by the rising cost of living, as the recent outbreak of swine flu and adverse weather combine to push up food prices, discretionary expenditure could be hit.
In terms of the impact on GDP of increased tariffs, most forecasters conclude that the direct hit to China will be worse than that to the US. The OECD reckons that under a scenario where tariffs are imposed on all US-China trade, US GDP would be around 0.8% lower by 2021-22, while Chinese GDP would be more than 1.1% lower. This said, gauging the impact of higher tariffs is problematic, given the difficulty in estimating 'second round' effects on business/consumer confidence, as well as possible ramifications in financial markets.
Policy stimulus
One advantage that President Xi does have over President Trump is the capacity to swiftly enact policy stimulus to counter the negative effects of the trade dispute. The independent US central bank - the Federal Reserve - has so far ignored President Trump's repeated calls for monetary policy to be loosened, and any fiscal stimulus in the US would need to be approved by Congress. In contrast, China has recently introduced a raft of measures to boost domestic demand. These include tax cuts, the easing of restrictions on local government funding of infrastructure projects, incentives to boost spending on consumer goods, and an accelerated upgrade of the country's telecommunications network.
Given that the authorities will not want celebrations of the 70th anniversary of Communist party rule in October to be tarnished by a weak economy, further stimulus is likely to be forthcoming. The Governor of the People's Bank of China (PBOC), Yi Gang, recently declared that he had 'tremendous room' to adjust policy to support the slowing economy. With the PBOC's benchmark interest rate at 4.35%, there is clearly scope for both rate cuts and reductions in the reserve requirement ratio, which would facilitate an increase in bank lending.
However, aggressive monetary easing would not be without risks, and would mark a clear reversal of earlier attempts to make economic growth less dependent on debt and more sustainable. Looser monetary policy would risk fuelling bubbles in asset markets. It could also put downward pressure on the renminbi. In turn, this could unnerve global financial markets, with investors mindful of the volatility triggered by the depreciation of the Chinese currency in 2015.
Given that Beijing has both the capacity and willingness to mitigate the downside risks of the trade war, expectations that President Xi will be bullied in to making big concessions to US negotiators are likely to prove misplaced. If, following the G20 meeting, President Trump carries out his threat to impose 25% tariffs on the remaining US $300 billion of Chinese imports, renewed financial market volatility is likely. However, with recession risks rising in the US and the presidential election looming in 2020, President Trump has a clear incentive to engineer a face-saving climbdown.
In the short-term, an agreement to resume talks and a postponement of new tariffs is probably the best outcome investors can hope for. Over the longer-term, the ongoing competition between the US and China for economic and technological dominance will be a key factor shaping investment portfolio decisions for years to come.

Iannotta, Nino; Belfiore, Tiziana; Noce, Maria Elena; Scalercio, Stefano and Vizzarri, Veronica (2007) Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) control in organic olive farming. In: http://www.ecoliva.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=17&Itemid=38.
- English
Online at: http://www.ecoliva.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=17&Itemid=38
In the Mediterranean area the olive fly control, difficult to realise in conventional farming, becomes even more arduous in organic farming, owing to the restrictions laid down by Regulation. The EC Reg. 2092/91 which implements organic farming and its updates provide standards allowing only the use of natural origin substances for crop protection contained in annex IIB, forbidding the chemical pesticides use. The present study has been performed in Calabria (Southern Italy) in two different pedoclimatic olive areas (Mirto-Crosia and Terranova da Sibari) and in two observation years (2005-2006) in order to assess the efficacy of substances listed in the annex IIB as copper (antibacterial substance) and biopesticides azadiracthin and rotenone and the efficacy of kaolin and the antibacterial substance propolis. These substances were compared among them and with theses used as control (treated only with water) and in Mirto-Crosia field with conventional product dimethoate. The present research confirms the need to restrain the Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) infestation in olive areas of the Southern Italy. The results obtained in the two different investigated areas in both years indicated that kaolin has great potential for the control of B. oleae infestation. The use of copper and propolis showed a good efficacy both on adult and preimago population. Rotenone application confirms its known efficacy in Terranova da Sibari area while it does not appear very efficacious in Mirto-Crosia area. Azadiracthin turned out to be not so efficacious for olive fly control in both olive areas and years. On the basis of the results of the most recent studies, a revision of the Regulation is needed.

For many who have undergone surgery, suffered injury or have a physical deformity; scarring leaves behind painful and undesirable reminders.
What is scar revision?
Every patient is unique and as such the healing processes vary greatly from case to case. The skin of each patient, the way their body heals and the extent of the original injury all effect what the final result will be. During a consultation, a skilled plastic surgeon at the Soderstrom Skin Institute can explain how a reconstructive surgery such as scar revision can positively change a patient's appearance.*
What are the treatment options?
Depending on the type and severity of the scarring, different techniques are utilized, all proving to be effective when administered by the medical professionals at the Soderstrom Skin Institute. Acquired deformities that are a result of accident, infection or disease can all be improved through reconstructive plastic surgery. Scars can be treated through procedures such as Microdermabrasion, injection or excision as well.
What else should I know?
Below is a list of the different classification of scars as well as their definition:
- Keloids: are common thick red and often itchy scars that grow beyond the original edge of the wound or incision. Unfortunately for those who suffer from keloids these types of scars do have a tendency to recur.
- Hyptertrophic scars: similar to keloids but raised in nature
- Contracture scars: often caused by burns or injuries and result in the loss of skin, whereby, the scar pulls the edges of the skin tighter and closer together than desired.
- Facial scars: resulting from injury, disease or acne scarring. These scars react well to surgery and revision.
All surgical procedures require an initial consultation appointment. For more information or to schedule your appointment please call Soderstrom Skin Institute at 833-439-8612.

I am trying to get in the habit of sharing recipes from my kitchen. People are always asking me,"How do you make that, I've gotta have that recipe, etc.", but I can rarely duplicate anything since ingredients are thrown in on my whim. So here's something new and yummy...
I've discovered frittata! My mouth always waters at the thought of quiche but pie crusts aren't my forte so I rarely make them. Frittata is so much easier and doesn't require a crust so of course I've fallen in love. The other big plus is that you can use basically whatever add-ins you want. As long as you have eggs, milk and cheese, you're good to go!
Whatever Fritatta:
You will need:
*A heavy cast iron skillet
*Olive oil for frying
*About 4 cups of Whatever you have: fresh veggies, potatoes, onions, garlic, herbs, bacon, sausage, cubed bread. Prepare basically enough to fill your frying pan, because the ingredients will shrink as they cook.
*1/2 stick butter (more or less, or none at all, I just love butter!)
*1 1/2 cups whole milk (or cream, or 1/2 in 1/2, YUMMY!)
*4-5 Eggs
*1 cup grated cheddar, pepper jack, swiss cheese, etc. (hard cheeses work well)
*Salt, Pepper, and Seasonings to Taste
Preheat Oven to 350. Heat skillet on medium high and add a tablespoon of oil, (or more, remember, Whatever you want!) saute' up your veggies until they are nice and colorful, yet still firm. If you are adding bacon or sausage I would recommend you cook them in a separate pan and add them to the veggies as they have different cooking times. If you're adding bread cubes, do that at the end, etc. While your goodies are cooking, in a medium bowl, mix your eggs and milk well, then add your grated cheese. Don't stir in the cheese too much.
Add as much salt and pepper as you prefer to the milk mixture. I also like to use Spike or other veggie seasonings, cayenne, etc. Add the butter to the vegetable mix and stir well to coat the pan and the veggies. Pour the milk mixture into the skillet. Put the skillet in the preheated oven on the center rack (use a hotpad, the handle will be hot!). Bake for about 35 minutes or until set. I like to let the fritatta sit out for a couple hours to let all the flavors blend, but you're welcome to eat it while it's hot!

It's the Chairwoman-about-to go-into-hospital weekend open thread!
Yes, it's true. After a really spectacularly long period of sitting in a chair waiting for treatment, the Chairwoman is finally to be admitted to hospital to start said treatment, which will hopefully mean that she comes out less of a Chairwoman and more of a generally-moving-around-Woman. It is not yet clear what sort of access she is likely to have to the interwebs, so please send her your best wishes in this thread. You can also put funny/interesting/non political stuff in here. Do not wreck it with serious stuff. For once, frankly, if I don't like it I'll delete it. Yes I will.
The Chairwoman goes into hospital on Monday. Get commenting…

He passed away last night.
He hasn't been trying to eat for almost three weeks so this morning's discovery wasn't a complete surprise - but it hurts nonetheless to discover him this morning, sprawled on his bedding - glassy-eyed stare into oblivion. It hurts to know that an entire history - a set of interactions and memories is gone, save what remains in our rememberance.
I want to cry right now - but I just feel a hollow ache inside and have no energy for tears.
Fourteen years. That's half a lifetime for me, during which I witnessed his puppy antics and cleaned up after his indoor "accidents," held him in comfort as he went through his vaccinations, went on a frantic three-week search when he wandered away after we moved to a new home. Too - I watched him in his sunset years and grieved as he slowly went deaf over the past 2 years and gradually lose interest in the playtime activities we've enjoyed in his youth.
14 years, you were a faithful companion and brought me so much comfort and happiness in moments when inconstant humans have disappointed me - and you have my gratitude. I promise to keep you alive in my memory and hope I have brought your nearly-14 years a measure of the joy your company has blessed our family with.
Farewell, my good friend. You are loved, and will be missed.
ZZ Top Moment ...

While Priam mourns his son, Aesacus, Paris absconds with Helen. As a result, the Greeks head to Troy to wage war. Hostile winds delay the Greeks until the wrath of Diana is quelled by the sacrifice of Agamemnon's daughter, Iphigenia, who is replaced by a doe at the last minute. As soon as the Greeks arrive, a battle ensues. Cycnus, the son of Neptune, alone slays over a thousand Greeks. Achilles, the great Greek hero, cannot pierce Cycnus's impregnable skin. Further attempts are also foiled. Finally Achilles chokes Cycnus to death with the strap of his own helmet. The Greeks and Achilles recount their recent victory and Nestor begins another story.
Caenis, a young maiden, goes for a stroll on desolate seashore, where Neptune rapes her. Afterward, he grants her a wish. She asks to be changed into a man, so that she will not be raped again. Neptune turns her into Caeneus, a great warrior. Caeneus attends the wedding celebration of Pirithous, son of Ixion, and beautiful Hippodame. A drunken centaur, Eurytus, takes Hippodame by the hair and drags her off to rape her. The other centaurs follow his lead, each taking a woman. Theseus kills Eurytus by smashing a huge bowl over his head. The centaurs are incensed, and a brawl ensues. The impenetrable skin of Caeneus (he has the same kind of skin Cycnus does) infuriates the centaurs. They hurl boulders, trees, and whole mountains at him. Some say that the weight of these objects sent him to the underworld. Others say he became a bird.
Nestor's tale concludes. Tlepolemus, Hercules' son, is upset that Nestor didn't mention his father's victories over the centaurs. Nestor says he left out Hercules' exploits because he hates Hercules for killing all of his brothers. The narrative shifts back to the Trojan War. Neptune and Apollo plot against Achilles. Apollo enters the fray covered in a cloud and counsels Paris to shoot his arrows at Achilles. Paris does, killing Achilles.
Beginning in this book and continuing in Book XIII, Ovid offers an amusing take on the Iliad. Instead of treating the epic with reverence, he ignores most of the traditional story lines and gives lesser-known stories comic twists. He passes over the battle between Achilles and Hector (which is arguably the high point of the Iliad), adds the detail that a deer took Iphigenia's place, replaces heroic combat with a drunken wedding brawl, and gives a lengthy account of the battle between Achilles and Cycnus. In none of these episodes is Ovid serious. For example, he sets the stage for an epic clash between Achilles and Cycnus by mentioning that Cycnus's skin is impenetrable, but the battle quickly devolves into comedy. So certain is Cycnus of his own invincibility that he does not even guard himself against Achilles' missile attacks. The black comedy continues when Achilles gets around the problem of Cycnus's armor-skin by strangling him with his own helmet strap.
Ovid suggests that the Trojan War is nothing more than a huge wedding brawl. The wedding battle rages on for almost 400 lines, and Nestor describes it using an impressive collection of gory details. At the same time, the setting of the battle makes it hard to take seriously. The combatants are not in the open, but constrained to a wedding hall. The weapons of choice are not slings and arrows, but wine bowls, goblets, cauldrons, trees, antlers, and boulders. When the account of the battle concludes, we leap to the tenth year of the Trojan War. With this juxtaposition, Ovid is asking us to compare the humorous wedding fight with the Trojan War and to notice that Paris snatched Helen in the same way that the centaur snatched Hippodame. Ovid intentionally undercuts the gravity of the Trojan War by comparing it to a wedding brawl.
Nestor is not necessarily a reliable narrator. When confronted, he readily admits that he has left out crucial information about Hercules' battles with the centaurs. He also admits that his reasons for editing the story in this way are personal. Ovid forces us to wonder what other information Nestor has seen fit to leave out. More broadly, he raises the question of unreliability in general. If one thing unites the characters in Ovid's poems, it is their tendency to get mixed up in feuds. Resentments, grudges, and revenge teem through the poem. Nester is hardly the only character with personal biases, and it seems unlikely that he is the sole untrustworthy narrator in the Metamorphoses.

So I've been working on a sequel to my first painting set, and one of the things I wanted for story purposes was a picture of nude Rainelle splattered in paint (NSFW). So I took Aelia's paint splatter and made it into an "outfit". Then I figured well, why not release it? In fact, why not Pooklet it?
Hair and facepaint not included.
So, here you go. Pooklet's neons, and it's categorized as underwear. (And no, there's no white color. "Flammable" looks like blood though. o_O)

Japanese Food Products
The Ajinomoto Group realizes value creation by leveraging the strengths of brand power, marketing, and R&D capabilities backed by over 100 years of history based on the diversifying needs of consumers.
While strengthening mainstay products, the Group will continue pursuing deliciousness. The Group will maintain its efforts to provide fine-tuned solutions that address various needs, including health-related needs such as salt and sugar reduction and the need for smart cooking.
Seasonings and Processed Foods
Origin, History, and Development
The business started with the launch of AJI-NO-MOTO® in 1909. As competition surrounding umami seasonings intensified from the 1950s onward, the Ajinomoto Group swiftly diversified its operations.
During the rapid expansion of Japan's instant food market in the 1960s, the Group launched Knorr® Cup Soup through an alliance with a U.S. company. Utilizing the marketing methods thus cultivated, we expanded into new categories such as mayonnaise.
In the 1970s, Japan's economic boom gave way to an era of stable growth. As a preference for convenience grew due to an increase in women working outside the home, among other factors, the Group developed its original HON-DASHI® and Chuka Aji flavor seasonings and Cook Do® premixed sauces.
In the 1980s, women made further advances in the workplace and sales grew rapidly. This approach of expanding the product rollout from AJI-NO-MOTO® to flavor seasonings and processed foods was also used later in the International Food Products business.
In the field of seasonings for processed food manufacturers, during the 1960s we launched savory seasonings that replicate the flavors of natural foodstuffs. These seasonings were developed in the process of amino acid research. In the 1990s, the Group began sales to major customers of enzyme preparations, which can be used to improve the texture of a wide range of processed products, and also started overseas production and sales.
Since then, we have continued to expand business in each field by constantly improving products and launching new products that address consumer needs.
Market Changes and Response in Recent Years
Consumer needs are diversifying in Japan as the population shrinks and lifestyles change. Changes are also apparent in consumer purchasing channels, not only at existing mass merchandisers, drug stores and convenience stores, but also in other areas such as e-commerce.
Amid these changes, the Ajinomoto Group will meet needs by rolling out high-value-added products, offering item-by-item cooking ideas on its recipe site, and developing products for each channel, among other approaches.
On the production side, the Group is conducting a reorganization to put in place a system that enables flexible production. We have also begun logistics reform to resolve various issues in food distribution (a shortage of truck drivers, rising distribution costs, the need for environmental preservation, etc.), and will pursue initiatives in cooperation with other food manufacturers.
Frozen Foods
Origin, History, and Development
Although Japan's home-use frozen food market started to grow rapidly in the late 1960s, the quality of commercial frozen foods at that time was low and did not earn consumer trust.
Under these circumstances, the Ajinomoto Group entered the business in 1972 by leveraging the technologies it had cultivated in the seasonings business to launch products in the high-price range that based their appeal on high quality and luxury. The Group captured consumer needs and immediately grew into a top brand.
Since then, we have steadily increased sales in tandem with changes in Japan's social and business environment, including the rise of the nuclear family, popularization of microwave ovens, growth of major retail chains and advances in frozen food distribution networks.
In the 1990s, the Group began production at overseas bases in Thailand and China to take advantage of the cost and product development benefits of using excellent raw materials sourced locally. We established a system for manufacturing products at overseas subsidiaries for export to Japan.
In 2000, the business was spun off as Ajinomoto Frozen Foods Co., Inc. to integrate management of development, production and sales.
Since then, dietary needs relating to safety and reliability have continued to increase and the Group is focusing on strengthening its unified quality assurance system from raw materials to products.
Market Changes and Response in Recent Years
As one of the few growth areas for processed foods in Japan, competition in the domestic frozen food market is intensifying.
The Ajinomoto Group continues to enhance product competitiveness in core categories and is focusing on identifying emerging needs to proactively develop products in new categories.
Coffee Products
Origin, History, and Development
As the Ajinomoto Group diversified its businesses from the 1960s onward, it came to regard the growing instant coffee market as a promising area. In 1973, the Group entered the coffee business in Japan by acquiring 50% of the shares of General Foods (Japan) and establishing Ajinomoto General Foods, Inc.
With the technology of General Foods Corporation and the sales expertise of Ajinomoto Co., Inc., the business has continued to grow, creating new markets by developing products in the new categories of regular, bottled and stick-type coffee, in addition to instant coffee.
In 2015, Ajinomoto Co. acquired the remaining 50% of shares, made the company a consolidated subsidiary, and in 2017, changed its name to Ajinomoto AGF, Inc. In 2016, Ajinomoto Co. also acquired the trademarks that had been licensed to the company, making it possible to develop an unrestricted brand strategy outside Japan. Moving forward, Ajinomoto AGF, Inc. will also provide technological support for local beverages and powdered drinks businesses and take on a central role in the Ajinomoto Group's beverages business.
Market Changes and Response in Recent Years
In Japan, coffee-drinking habits are changing from inside to outside the home. One reason for this change was the Ajinomoto Group's creation of a market for coffee counters at convenience stores, providing delicious coffee at a reasonable price.
We will continue to respond to growing outside-the-home demand and promote product personalization to respond to diversifying preferences.

Sales Commentary
September sale results on the Toronto Real Estate Board produced mixed results. For the 'bears', their focus was on the decline in sales from September a year ago – down 35% to 6379 units. A normal September should have produced sales in the 8,000 range. While listings for the month were up by 9%, listings were at 19,000 units at month end which represents about a 2.5 month's supply on an annual basis. That is certainly higher than the last year but is well within a balanced market.
For the optimists, they can point to TREB's Home Price Index (more accurate than average prices) because it removes the bias caused by a changing mix of sales, and tracks similar property types in specific market areas. In the City of Toronto, detached houses are 6.6% higher than a year ago. For condos, the increase was 26%. Condo price increases were greater, primarily because they trailed house price increases in the previous two years, making condos more attractive and affordable to people entering the real estate market.
In terms of the condo market, sales downtown were 20% lower in September than a year ago. In Humber Bay, sales were 28% lower. At the same time, active listings in both markets at the end of September were lower than new listings for both and stood at just a 1.5 month's supply, an indicator of more price increases to come. We then looked at sales for the first 11 days of October and they were in line with sales for the first 11 days of September. But most interesting was that 50% of these sales were at or more than the list price.
The pre-construction condo market is tracking for a record sales year. There are 17 new projects launching downtown before year end. It will be interesting to see if all sell out. Prices are running $100-200 per sq.ft. higher than the current resale market. If they don't sell out, expect to see more special incentives (free parking, no condo fees for a year, rental guarantees, etc.) but no reduction in prices as developers try to hold the line.
Monthly with Three Previous Years for Comparison
This chart plots the monthly MLS® sales-to-new listings ratio (SNLR) for the current year and the previous three years. The recurring seasonal trend can be examined along with comparisons to previous years for each month. A normal market has a ratio between 35% and 50%. Source: Toronto Real Estate Board
832 Bay Street: Burano
The 'condo street for Toronto has always been Bay Street. It also has some of the highest prices. This month we looked at sales at the Burano, 832 Bay. This building was finished in 2013. It consists of a three-floor podium plus 48 floors of condos. The first unit tracked is a one bedroom with balcony but no parking or locker. It is on a high floor and sold in 2013 for $389,000. It sold again in September of 2017 for $485,000. That is an annual increase of 5.7% over 4+ years. The unit is only 512 sq.ft. and that works out to $940/sf! The second unit we tracked was a two bedroom/two bath unit. It has parking, locker, small balcony but is a corner unit with magnificent views on the fiftieth floor. This unit also sold in 2013 for $727,000 and then again in 2017. The sale price was $950,000 which represents a 9.2% annual increase. At 816 sq.ft., that is a price of over $1100/sf. This unit was sold and closed well after the Ontario Government announced their new real estate changes in April. For the first time, we are starting to see bigger units appreciate at a faster pace than smaller units. Also, prime units are now commanding significant price premiums. Currently, there are six units for sale out of 486 units in the Burano. One of the units for sale is the identical one-bedroom unit described above, but one floor higher, offered at $515,000. They are asking $30,000 more in just a month, which is probably too much as it has not sold.
Rental Commentary
We have passed the peak of the rental market as just under a thousand units were leased in September (as opposed to 1300 in August). Still, multiple offers are common and days-on-market are under 10 for most condo types. The average rental price is now 101% of the list price.
This tight market will continue to drive rents higher. The studio market increased by another $50 per month to $1750 and days-on-market declined to four days for those being rented. The most popular unit in September was again the one bedroom without parking which stayed level at just under $2,000 per month.
In the one-bedroom market, the 'den' factor adds another $200 per month as more people are looking to team up, in an attempt to reduce their monthly expenses. On the other hand, the parking premium is not as large - $100 to $150 per month as more people who live downtown are giving up the car.
The entry point for the two-bedroom market also increased in September to over $2800 per month. The top end of the two-bedroom market – a den and parking is now at the $3400 range.
The three-bedroom market remains small. These units are being rented out at $4300 per month.
At the same time as rents are rising, the size of units is getting progressively smaller. To give you a rough idea, studios are under 450sf. A one-bedroom plus den is between 550 and 650 sq.ft. Two-bedroom units start at just under 700 sq.ft.

In an astonishing claim that could argue for a recount of the entire vote nationwide, Donald Trump claimed this afternoon that "millions" over people "voted illegally" in the presidential election.
Trump added, in an impulsive series of tweets, that he would have won the popular vote had the alleged "millions" not voted illegally.
First the tweets, then a discussion:
The incoming President of the United States claims that we have such massive voter fraud that millions of people voted illegally — so many in fact that they switched the winner in the popular vote. That is one heck of a claim, and on its face could argue for a nationwide recount and audit of the vote. A recount to double-check the numbers; and an audit to ensure that the numbers are correct, e.g., there was no cheating, no hacking, etc.
Trump's "millions of votes stolen" claim is also astounding in that it shows just how bothered Trump is by the fact that Hillary Clinton is now beating Trump in the popular vote by at least 2.2 million votes, or by 1.4 points. I ran the numbers yesterday, and Trump's is the 3rd weakest election of a president in American history. And if you look at the raw numbers, the 2.2 million loss to Hillary, Trump's is the worst "victory" ever.
To call Trump's popular-vote loss to Hillary a lack of a mandate is an understatement. Hillary Clinton arguably received the mandate on November 8, while the public voted in record numbers to repudiate Donald Trump.
And that is why Trump is now openly freaking out on Twitter, as many of us predicted he would — just not this soon. Only 8 hours ago I predicted that if you want to get under Trump's skin, question his legitimacy. Today's tweets prove that I was right.
Trump likes to come across as a paragon of strength. But like all bullies, there's a kernel of weakness and insecurity underlying and motivating the bluster. Trump's life has been one long attempt to be accepted into the big-boys' club. Trump desperately wants respect from the New York Times and New York's wealthy elite, but Trump's Jed Clampett tastes (you know foreign dignitaries are howling after visiting Trump's Liberace-inspired Saudi palace in Trump Tower) and boorish personality ("pussy grabbing" comes to mind) means Trump will never be more than a pathetic, vulgar joke to those he pines for the most.
And that is why losing the popular vote by such a spectacular number has so unmoored Donald Trump that he is lashing out on Twitter, even after he won the election. It's the ultimate slap in the face in what should be Trump's ultimate conquest. If becoming the leader of the free world isn't enough to wipe away Trump's stench of mediocrity, then nothing else can.
The fact that Donald Trump will be a minority president, and the fact that even in winning Trump is a loser, is finally sinking in over at Trump Tower.
With the election of Donald Trump, AMERICAblog's independent journalism and activism is more needed than ever.

Who missed storm Desmond last week? Oh, you lucky things! I heard some heartbreaking stories and in contrast some really uplifting tales of heroes in floods (Gareth from Aqua Salon – I'm talking about you!) – and one fabulous story of a wedding which came together against all the odds. This week I've been thinking about rain on your wedding day. I know a lot of brides really worry: equally I see some incredibly beautiful images on my Facebook feed (and there were LOTS last weekend!) – so I wanted to share some tips to reassure you all. I asked my recommended suppliers and blog sponsors for their best advice.

Bristol wedding photographer Sandy at Love In Focus:
1. Plan for rain – just in case!
Everyone hopes for good weather on their wedding day but unfortunately there really is nothing you can do about the weather! The good news is that rain doesn't have to spoil your day if you plan for it and can even make for some really beautiful shots. Don't worry about your photographer, professional camera equipment is weather sealed and clothes dry!
2. Play with the rain… make it pretty!
A sea of colourful umbrellas looks amazing in photographs and they can be really fun to play with, think singing in the rain!
3. Make an amazing wedding photograph:
The other classic shot in the rain is to place the couple under a white umbrella with a flash behind them. The flash lights up the raindrops all around them creating as a frame and the umbrella reflects the light down onto them.
4. Be sure your venue can cope with a rainy day
Obviously you don't want to be out in the rain all day so make sure your venue has a wet weather option, enough covered space for everyone to sit down, some kind of gazebo outside for the smokers and (if you are doing a marquee wedding) place the toilets near to the entrance.

5. Don't despair: there'll be a gap in the rain
I've never shot a wedding where it rained all day long without a break. Even when it's pouring for most of the day, there's always been a gap in the clouds, an hour or two where the rain stops and we can take some amazing images.
6. …so be prepared to sneak out for some photos!
The best advice I can give is to be prepared: chat with your photographer first and if you're happy to take advantage of the moments when the rain stops – even if it's just 5 minutes between courses at your wedding breakfast – let your photographer know beforehand. I keep an eye on the weather and if there's a break in the clouds and an amazing sunset I'll quietly ask the bride and groom if they'd like to get some incredible portraits in beautiful light.
7. Stay inside and stay dry!
You can also stay inside your venue and make the most of the natural light coming from the doorways or windows – a good photographer will know how to make the most of the natural light around the venue so you can have beautiful photographs without getting soaked!
8. Make evening photographs your plan B
When it comes to evening, a good photographer who can use off-camera flash creatively will make the most of your venue's features to capture amazing images – so if the rain doesn't stop until later, all isn't lost!
9. Be creative with your photos
The overall tip is to be creative: the best time of day for taking photographs is usually straight after the ceremony but if rain means you have to do it later, be prepared!
London wedding photographer Steven Anthony
10. Just roll with it.
Weather is the one thing that can't be accounted for so try not to let it worry you. I've shot weddings in December that have been fine and weddings in June that have been wet, that's just how the British weather works!
11. Plan where guests can duck and cover!
When looking for a venue, try and have a think of how the space indoors that can be utilised in case of rain, if there's a marquee then that will be great for people to duck in and under cover.
12. Trust your wedding photographer
When it comes to photos, let your photographer deal with this, that's what you pay them for. When I work with a couple I help them plan out their timeline, but I also have a plan B to do the formal shots at another time when the weather may have cleared. Plan C is to do them in a lovely spot indoors. The wet weddings I have shot have been some of my best, everyone pulls together and has a great time despite the rain!
Hampshire wedding photographer Jennifer Sinclair
13. Choose a warm and cosy venue
When I think of rainy weddings; two weddings come to my mind immediately. Every bride dreams of a beautiful sunny wedding day, even if it is a cold crisp sunny winters day. Kathryn & Graham were married in March and the weather forecast for their day wasn't looking too good. It rained virtually all day. I reassured Kathryn the night before her wedding by sharing a Pinterest board of some amazing bride and groom photographs that could be taken inside the venue. So rather than focusing on the rainy day, we were excited to capture some amazing photographs, which showed how warm and cosy the venue was.
14. Buy a bridal umbrella – just in case!
For Jessica & Gareth's wedding they had soft light rain all day. It would have been awful it had been windy and rainy but with no wind, we were able to make use of my pretty bridal umbrella to get some amazing bride and groom photographs with the backdrop of the autumn colours of the trees.
15. Look after your dress and shoes!
The top tip here is for the bride to bring some shoes which are slightly higher than their bridal shoes so they don't have to worry about getting the bottom of their dress too wet and dirty and bridal shoes aren't ruined.

"Enter God's gates with thanksgiving." - Psalm 100:4
When I was a child church evoked two emotions: boredom and awe. The two were not distributed in equal measure. Large swaths of seemingly endless boredom punctuated by the occasional instant of awe. The awe came on rarely, once or twice a year. It came down from on high while I stared at an altar candle during an organ solo, or caught the sunlight streaming through Jesus' face in the stained glass. So I kept my head up, bored but hopeful.
One Sunday morning the residents from a neighborhood group home came to worship. There were about ten guys, each developmentally disabled. They looked like the seven dwarves from Disney's "Sleeping Beauty." Long beards, flannel shirts and clean-pressed jeans marching in unison toward a pew.
In front me of were two elderly, boring church members. I sat behind them every week and barely noticed. If anything interesting was going to happen in church it would be between me and God. One of them gestured at our bearded guests and whispered loudly, "What are they doing here?" I sat up, immediately anxious. How could anyone be so mean?
The man sitting next to him turned and whispered back, even louder, as if he were explaining a simple math problem to a stupid child, "What are they doing here? They're going to church." His grumpy neighbor's head snapped back. What a zinger! I felt like cheering. Who knew such intensity was available right there in the pews? Awesome! I turned my eyes from heaven, toward the people all around me.
Dear God, thank you for all the interesting people who walk through the doors of your house. Amen.
Matt Fitzgerald is the Senior Pastor of St. Pauls United Church of Christ, Chicago, IL.

Play at Fruit Bingo slot free

Fruit Bingo Review
Fruit Bingo is not really a digital bingo game; instead, it is a three-reel fruit slot machine that has a secondary bonus bingo-like game. As is standard for a three-reel fruit machine, it only has one payline. Fruit machines like this one look less complex than their five-reel counterparts, but they actually have a great range of player options compared to most slots. For instance, fruit machines have holding and nudging options that allow players to manipulate the outcomes of their spins, turning partial wins into actual wins.
While playing a game such as this one may require more attention on the part of the player, it has the potential to be more lucrative with perfect play. By pairing this dynamic fruit machine with a bonus bingo-like game, the designers have combined a more skill-based primary game with a bonus game of pure luck, which makes for an entertaining juxtaposition.
While there are only five winning combinations, there are multipliers that can enhance any wins that you get. One of the symbols—the three cherries symbol—doubles your win amount for a combination. On the other side of the scale, the gold stars will multiply your win by 500, making it a very important symbol in the game. There is a special sixth symbol, in addition to the five standard symbols, that activates the bonus game. The special Fruit Bingo logo comes around every once in a while, so be ready to play some bingo when it pops up.
The top payout is pretty high for a fruit machine, at $5,000, but that is before additional multipliers and bonuses have been figured in. Also, there is still the bonus bingo game that can definitely add to your bankroll. The payout range is also pretty standard when compared to five-reel games.
While a five-reel game might have a range of anywhere from $0.01 to $250 for minimum and maximum bets, Fruit Bingo keeps its minimum at $0.10 and its maximum at $10. And, because there is only one payline, you do not need to mull over which of the 25 or more paylines to bet certain amounts on; on this machine, your total bet is always the exact amount shown.Play This Game With a Free Bonus !!

Apr 29, 2018 - THREE KIDS KILLED AFTER SUSPECTED DRUNK DRIVER CRASHES INTO THEM NORTH OF WINNIPEG
Three children are dead after they were struck by a suspected drunk driver Saturday night near Nelson House.
RCMP said one 13-year-old boy and two 11-year-old boys were pronounced dead on scene. All of them were from Nelson House.
Two of the boys were walking and one was riding a bike at the time of the crash.
Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation Chief Marcel Moody said the community is devastated.
"People are still in shock and obviously there's a lot of grief in the community right now," he said.
"It's so devastating for children's lives to be taken away at a young age like that."
Moody said there will be counselling support in the school on Monday and a vigil planned for later in the day. He said there will be a Go Fund Me page created for people who want to support the family.
"It's had a huge impact in our community," Moody said.
Police said the driver of the vehicle is a 27-year-old man from Nelson House, that alcohol is a factor in the crash and the driver is facing multiple charges. Officials also said he exited his vehicle and fled the scene on foot before later turning himself into police custody.
Police said the crash happened around 10:35 p.m. on Provincial Road 620.
RCMP Sgt. Paul Manaigre said the community is in shock.
"Probably many are angry and we understand," he said. "It's a situation that didn't need to happen."
"The community now has a grieving process that's going to start," Manaigre said. "I can't imagine, three young lives just taken like that."
Nelson House is 850 km north of Winnipeg, near Thompson.

Looking for Dolphins? They're Here!
Dolphins are Really Active Right now!We've got some great pictures of Dolphins near Shell Island in Panama City Beach, FL from a dolphin tour on June 17th, 2014 with Capt. Tami! Take a look at the dolphin images gallery below! They were in a fantastic mood, and we've had no trouble at all finding and interacting with dolphins this year!
Bay Point & Dolphins!
Dolphins really are fascinating creatures. Not too long ago, we put together a popular page on the site, it's Bay Point's dolphin fun facts. It's not hard to see why our customers have so much fun during our amazing dolphin tours. I'd speculate that Bay Point Water Sports in particular has the best spots to find and interact with dolphins during our guided tours than any other so-called tour operator! We never have any trouble locating and getting them to come up and make our customers smile!
Dolphin Tour Gallery
Here are some fun pictures of the dolphins we've been seeing lately.
