Joomla provides a sophisticated database abstraction layer to simplify the usage for third party developers. New versions of the Joomla Platform API provide additional functionality which extends the database layer further, and includes features such as connectors to a greater variety of database servers and the query chaining to improve readability of connection code and simplify SQL coding.
- 1 Usage
Joomla can use different kinds of SQL database systems and run in a variety of environments with different table-prefixes. In addition to these functions, the class automatically creates the database connection. Besides instantiating the object you need just two lines of code to get a result from the database in a variety of formats. Using the Joomla database layer ensures a maximum of compatibility and flexibility for your extension.
The Connection
Joomla supports a generic interface for connecting to the database, hiding the intricacies of a specific database server from the Framework developer, thus making Joomla code easier to port from one platform to another.
To obtain a database connection, use the JFactory getDbo static method:
$db = JFactory::getDbo();
The getDbo method will return a reference to a high-level abstract class called JDatabaseDriver; the Joomla Framework hides the specifics of the database server, which is loaded dynamically by getDbo via Joomla's configuration file.
Alternatively, if your class inherits from the JModel (or a decendent class) getDbo method:
$db = $this->getDbo();
users should note that the JModel class has been renamed JModelLegacy and will eventually be deprecated in favour of the class JModelBase. Therefore, any Joomla 3.0 core or extension code should use JFactory::getDbo() to obtain a database connection.
The Query
Joomla's database querying has changed since the new Joomla Framework was introduced "query chaining" is now the recommended method for building database queries (although string queries are still supported).
Query chaining refers to a method of connecting a number of methods, one after the other, with each method returning an object that can support the next method, improving readability and simplifying code.
To obtain a new instance of the JDatabaseQuery class we use the JDatabaseDriver getQuery method:
$db = JFactory::getDbo(); $query = $db->getQuery(true);
The JDatabaseDriver::getQuery takes an optional argument, $new, which can be true or false (the default being false).
To query our data source we can call a number of JDatabaseQuery methods; these methods encapsulate the data source's query language (in most cases SQL), hiding query-specific syntax from the developer and increasing the portability of the developer's source code.
Some of the more frequently used methods include; select, from, join, where and order. There are also methods such as insert, update and delete for modifying records in the data store. By chaining these and other method calls, you can create almost any query against your data store without compromising portability of your code.
Selecting Records from a Single Table
Below is an example of creating a database query using the JDatabaseQuery class. Using the select, from, where and order methods, we can create queries which are flexible, easily readable and portable:
// Get a db connection. $db = JFactory::getDbo(); // Create a new query object. $query = $db->getQuery(true); // Select all records from the user profile table where key begins with "custom.". // Order it by the ordering field. $query->select(array('user_id', 'profile_key', 'profile_value', 'ordering')); $query->from('#__user_profiles'); $query->where('profile_key LIKE \'custom.%\''); $query->order('ordering ASC'); // Reset the query using our newly populated query object. $db->setQuery($query); // Load the results as a list of stdClass objects. $results = $db->loadObjectList();
The query can also be chained to simplify further:
$query ->select(array('user_id', 'profile_key', 'profile_value', 'ordering')) ->from('#__user_profiles') ->where('profile_key LIKE \'custom.%\'') ->order('ordering ASC');
Chaining can become useful when queries become longer and more complex.
Selecting Records from Multiple Tables
Using the JDatabaseQuery's join methods, we can select records from multiple related tables. The generic "join" method takes two arguments; the join "type" (inner, outer, left, right) and the join condition. In the following example you will notice that we can use all of the keywords we would normally use if we were writing a native SQL query, including the AS keyword for aliasing tables and the ON keyword for creating relationships between tables. Also note that the table alias is used in all methods which reference table columns (I.e. select, where, order).
// Get a db connection. $db = JFactory::getDbo(); // Create a new query object. $query = $db->getQuery(true); // Select all articles for users who have a username which starts with 'a'. // Order it by the created date. $query ->select(array('a.*', 'b.username', 'b.name')) ->from('#__content AS a') ->join('INNER', '#__users AS b ON (a.created_by = b.id)') ->where('b.username LIKE \'a%\'') ->order('a.created DESC'); // Reset the query using our newly populated query object. $db->setQuery($query); // Load the results as a list of stdClass objects. $results = $db->loadObjectList();
The join method above enables us to query both the content and user tables, retrieving articles with their author details. There are also convenience methods for inner, left, right and outer joins.
We can use multiple joins to query across more than two tables:
$query ->select(array('a.*', 'b.username', 'b.name', 'c.*', 'd.*')) ->from('#__content AS a') ->join('INNER', '#__users AS b ON (a.created_by = b.id)') ->join('LEFT', '#__user_profiles AS c ON (b.id = c.user_id)') ->join('RIGHT', '#__categories AS d ON (a.catid = d.id)') ->where('b.username LIKE \'a%\'') ->order('a.created DESC');
Notice how chaining makes the source code much more readable for these longer queries.
Inserting a Record
Using SQL
The JDatabaseQuery class provides a number of methods for building insert queries, the most common being insert, columns and values.
// Get a db connection. $db = JFactory::getDbo(); // Create a new query object. $query = $db->getQuery(true); // Insert columns. $columns = array('user_id', 'profile_key', 'profile_value', 'ordering'); // Insert values. $values = array(1001, $db->quote('custom.message'), $db->quote('Inserting a record using insert()'), 1); // Prepare the insert query. $query ->insert($db->quoteName('#__user_profiles')) ->columns($db->quoteName($columns)) ->values(implode(',', $values)); // Reset the query using our newly populated query object. $db->setQuery($query);
Since Joomla 3.0 there has been a change in how the Joomla database class executes a query.
When executing a query in the Joomla Framework 11.4 we use the JDatabase's query method:
try { // Execute the query in Joomla 2.5. $result = $db->query(); } catch (Exception $e) { // catch any database errors. }
For Joomla Framework 12.1 and higher, we use the JDatabaseDriver's execute method:
try { // Execute the query in Joomla 3.0. $result = $db->execute(); } catch (Exception $e) { // catch any database errors. }
Since the phase out of PHP 4.x support, PHP's exception model has been widely implemented in the Joomla Framework. Therefore, we can wrap our database execution in a try...catch block to catch any unexpected database errors that may arise. Any database-specific errors will be thrown using an instance of the JDatabaseException class although it is best practice to catch the generic Exception object from which JDatabaseException inherits.
Using an Object
The JDatabaseDriver also class provides us with a convenience method for saving an object directly to the database allowing us to add a record to a table without writing a single line of SQL.
// Create and populate an object. $profile = new stdClass(); $profile->user_id = 1001; $profile->profile_key='custom.message'; $profile->profile_value='Inserting a record using insertObject()'; $profile->ordering=1; try { // Insert the object into the user profile table. $result = JFactory::getDbo()->insertObject('#__user_profiles', $profile); catch (Exception $e) { // catch any errors. }
Notice here that we do not need to escape the table name; the insertObject method does this for us.
The insertObject method will throw a RuntimeException if there is a problem inserting the record into the database table.
We need to ensure that the record does not exist before attempting to insert it, so adding some kind of record check before executing the insertObject method would be recommended.
Updating a Record
Using SQL
The JDatabaseQuery class also provides methods for building update queries, in particular update and set. We also reuse another method which we used when creating select statements, the where method.
$db = JFactory::getDbo(); $query = $db->getQuery(true); // Fields to update. $fields = array( 'profile_value=\'Updating custom message for user 1001.\'', 'ordering=2'); // Conditions for which records should be updated. $conditions = array( 'user_id=42', 'profile_key=\'custom.message\''); $query->update($db->quoteName('#__user_profiles'))->set($fields)->where($conditions); $db->setQuery($query); try { $result = $db->query(); // Use $db->execute() for Joomla 3.0. catch (Exception $e) { // Catch the error. }
Using an Object
Like insertObject, the JDatabaseDriver class provides a convenience method for updating an object.
Below we will update our custom table with new values using an existing id primary key:
// Create an object for the record we are going to update. $object = new stdClass(); // Must be a valid primary key value. $object->id = 1; $object->title = 'My Custom Record'; $object->description = 'A custom record being updated in the database.'; try { // Update their details in the users table using id as the primary key. $result = JFactory::getDbo()->updateObject('#__custom_table', $object, 'id'); } catch (Exception $e) { // catch the error. }
Just like insertObject, updateObject takes care of escaping table names for us.
The updateObject method will throw a RuntimeException if there is a problem inserting the record into the database table.
We need to ensure that the record already exists before attempting to update it, so we would probably add some kind of record check before executing the updateObject method.
Deleting a Record
Just as there are select, insert and update method calls, there is also a delete method for remove records from the database.
$db = JFactory::getDbo(); $query = $db->getQuery(true); // delete all custom keys for user 1001. $conditions = array( 'user_id=1001', 'profile_key LIKE \'custom.%\''); $query->delete($db->quoteName('#__user_profiles')); $query->where($conditions); $db->setQuery($query); try { $result = $db->query(); // $db->execute(); for Joomla 3.0. } catch (Exception $e) { // catch the error. }
The Joomla 12.1 Framework introduces SQL transactions (where supported) via the JDatabaseDriver's transactionStart, transactionCommit and transactionRollback. This supersedes the queryBatch method which was introduced in 11.1.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Transactions can only be used against transaction-aware storage engine such as InnoDB (many tables in Joomla still use the MyISAM storage engine which cannot support transactions).
$db = JFactory::getDbo(); try { $db->transactionStart(); $query = $db->getQuery(true); $values = array($db->quote('TEST_CONSTANT'), $db->quote('Custom'), $db->quote('/path/to/translation.ini')); $query->insert($db->quoteName('#__overrider')); $query->columns($db->quoteName(array('constant', 'string', 'file'))); $query->values(implode(',',$values)); $db->setQuery($query); $result = $db->query(); $db->transactionCommit(); } catch (Exception $e) { $db->transactionRollback(); // catch any database errors. }
Anything between the transactionStart and transactionCommit methods are not executed until transactionCommit is called. If an exception occurs, we can roll back the changes using the transactionRollback method. This allows us to return the database to the original state if a problem occurs even though we may execute a number of changes to the database's tables.

Man pleads no contest in deaths of puppies
Published: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 5:10 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 5:10 p.m.
The man accused of beating three Chihuahua puppies to death after fighting with his girlfriend more than a year ago pleaded no contest to the charges Monday and was sentenced to three years of probation.
Tayon Lavon Alexander, 21, accepted the plea deal offered by the Fifth Circuit State Attorney's Office.
Alexander also will undergo a mental health evaluation and pay fines and court costs, said Toby Hunt, the assistant state attorney handling the case.
In December 2011, Alexander was arrested after the three puppies were found dead in a Marion Oaks home. Necropsies on the animals determined they died of blunt force trauma. Arrest reports noted Alexander and his then girlfriend argued about the animals before they were killed.
"This was a resolution that was agreed upon mainly because the only witness to the incident was the defendant's girlfriend at the time. She has since moved out of the jurisdiction and did not want to testify against the father of her children," Hunt said.
In January, Alexander was arrested for retail petty theft at the Walmart on 4980 E. Silver Springs Blvd. He also was charged with resisting a merchant and resisting arrest without violence. All three charges were misdemeanors.
At the time of the arrest, Alexander was out on bail for the felony animal cruelty charges. His bail was revoked and he has been in the Marion County Jail since Jan. 7. Records indicated he was still at the jail late Monday afternoon.

Memorial Day Weekend Forecast...
by Heather's Thingies
posted May 27 2011 7:52AM
#1 Reason for this weekend.. Remembrance of
the fallen ones and those who are still giving
their all!! THANK YOU!! YOU ROCK!!
Memorial Day weekend has also become the 'Unofficial'
start of Summer
(official 1st day 6/21)
... with plans for fun
with family...with friends.. eating out, going to movies,
heading to the beach. Ted laughed at me yesterday when
I said shopping. Shopping is HUGE on Memorial Day Weekend.
You can run across lots of Great Deals!!
'AAA' Memorial Day Forecast
on everything Memorial Day WKND
says that 43% of peeps go shopping on Memorial Day Weekend.
There's lots of other cool stats too..
Memorial Day Holiday Travel Period
For purposes of this forecast the Memorial Day holiday travel period is defined as trips that include travel of 50 miles or
more away from home during the 5 day period from Thursday, May 26 to Monday, May 30.
-34.9 million travelers will journey at least 50 miles from home
- air travel will increase over 11% this year, so much sure you get to the airport, check in, security early..
so you have plenty of time
TX falls in the West South Central Area-
The Memorial Day holiday travel forecast calls for an increase of 0.7 percent in West South Central (WSC) region holiday
travel relative to last year. Travel is expected to remain relatively steady with record-high gas prices for this time of year
holding back demand on the heels of regional economic recovery. Air and automobile travel are expected to rise by 12.1
percent and 0.7 percent, respectively, since Memorial Day 2010. About 10.4 percent of the WSC population is predicted
to travel this Memorial Day period, which is slightly less than the estimated national frequency of 11.1 percent
-average spent $692 and an average 25% will be spent on 'SHOPPING" & 'ENTERTAINMENT..
Here's some
shopping tips
that need to follow too. I have a tendency to impulse buy when
I'm out of town.
The HALT Method:
This spending prevention plan is based on recognizing the underlying emotions behind retail therapy and encourages consciously considering feelings of Hunger, Anger, Loneliness or Tiredness (HALT) before buying something in an attempt to fill one or many of those needs. It's the reason you shouldn't go to the grocery store when you're hungry, and it's why a new pair of shoes seems like a necessity the day you get dumped.
The Stranger Test:
This is a terrific means for reminding yourself that a dollar is a dollar is a dollar. Picture a stranger offering you the cash value of the item you're considering buying, or the item itself. Would you take the cash or the item? If you're dying for a $3 cup of coffee, you may stick with the plan. If you're eying a $600 handbag, then realize if a stranger handed you $600, it's a couple of car payments, you might think twice about splurging on the purse.
The $100 Rule:
It's a simple idea: The higher the price of an item, the more you should think before buying it. Specifically, take the potential expenditure and divide it by $100 to get the total number of days you should think it over. For example, a $300 grill would be contemplated for three days, but you'd give a couple of weeks thought to it before buying a $1,400 laptop.
Stores where
Big Bargains
can be found..
Major retailers in standalone stores and traditional malls are starting to unveil their Memorial Day plans.
will continue to update this list, so let us know if you spot or score any exceptionally good deals.
Walmart (
The everyday low price champ will stay true to its mantra -- look for compelling deals on everything from beach to barbecue gear and rock-bottom food prices.
Macy's (
We got in touch with
and they've tipped us off that there will be a series of two-day specials on luggage, blenders, men's polo shirts, women's sandals, and select bras. Standard Macy's fare.
Sears (
Its six-day Memorial Day sale began Thursday. Watch for name-brand appliance discounts and heavy Lands End merchandising, complimented by fact that
Lands End
bathing suit catalogs landed in old-fashioned mailboxes this week.
Home Depot (
If you're looking to get some work done around the house, they're having a
Memorial Day paint sale
with $5 per gallon off for paint and stain.
Hollister (
All swimwear for "dudes" and "Bettys" is 30% off. The
are adorable and the
men's bathing suits
seem to be well-constructed enough to hold up over time.
L.L. Bean:
70% off select footwear
including trendy and sporty sandals for a limited time.
Target (
We spoke with Target and they have revealed their
weekly circular
is featuring a Slushy Maker for $16 and -- much to this mother's chagrin -- NERF Super Soakers for $14. They also have a ton of melamine plates and tumblers for $1.99 and folding chairs for $9. Their "Weekly Wow" promotion is on bottles and cans of Pepsi.
Lowe's (
The hardware giant is offering free delivery on mowers, grills and patio furniture of $249 or more. They've also got a 3-foot-by-5-foot
United States flag for $7
J.C. Penney (
Their sales are all about timing and seem focused on getting customers on the front end of the weekend with "door buster" deals on Friday beginning at 3 p.m. through Saturday at 1 p.m. Be sure to bring this
is incredibly sale-centric. Enter the promo code: GAPSAVE to get an extra 30% off some existing sale prices. They also tend to have surprise in-store sales, and have posted an
on Facebook for 40% off.
Old Navy:
They're touting clothes starting at $6 online and in-store, and
"flip flop fever"
with certain styles as low as $2.50.
(2010 in front of the Texas State Aquarium)
Have a Happy & Safe Memorial Day Weekend!
Ted, Huey & I are headed to Corpus Christi for the weekend.
Looking forward to getting in some beach time and maybe?!!
a little shopping.. gotta do about 25% of that right, stick to the survey!! LOL
Huey's ready to go too...
This just popped in my head!!
Hot in the Hot Tub!!

The body of a high school senior with plans to be an athlete at East Carolina University was found Tuesday morning by search crews in James City County.
Trevor Times of Williamsburg, Virginia had signed with ECU to play golf next year.
Crews found his body around 10:20 a.m. about 35 feet off shore in six feet of water. Police say on Memorial Day the 18-year-old was trying to swim to a sand bar 75 yards offshore when witnesses said they saw him in trouble and then go under.
College Creek is a popular swimming spot, despite signs warning of a strong rip tide and police say it is unsafe for swimming or wading.
The teen's body was found with the help of side scan sonar.
ECU Golf Coach Press McPhaul says they are saddened to hear of Times' death. "Our hearts are heavy with the news of Trevor's passing," said McPhaul. "He followed this team closely and was often sending us emails or texts encouraging us to work hard and play well. He was excited to be a Pirate and we were looking forward to his arrivals in the fall. My prayers are with his family."

Serves 4
This is one of my favorite ways to start or finish a summer meal—it's tantalizing enough to get your taste buds going and refreshing enough to cleanse your palate. The key here is to retain the shape of the melon once it's cut; you want it to look cubed and pristine, almost like tuna sashimi.
Put the watermelon on a sheet pan and sprinkle it with the salt. Place it in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
Remove the watermelon from the fridge, add the thyme, olive oil, and pepper and toss very gently to combine. Serve immediately.

Khalil Gibran Muhammad discussed the importance of African-American history on Dec. 17 at Fordham at an event co-sponsored with WNET.

Speaking at Fordham on Dec. 17, an academic expert strongly contested the idea that African Americans should "move on" from their history and drove home its continuing importance for educators.
"The threats to black historical literacy remain with us today as they did in the past," said Khalil Gibran Muhammad, Ph.D., a history professor and director of the New York Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. "This notion of post-racialism—that history is no longer meaningful and impactful—actually is a very old thing. It's an old problem" dating from the 19th century, he said.
He spoke at a professional development session for middle and high school educators, held at the Lincoln Center campus. Fordham's Graduate School of Education, School of Professional and Continuing Studies, and others co-sponsored the event with WNET New York Public Media to show how classroom lessons might be enhanced with materials from a recent PBS series,
The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross, with Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
Describing the idea of post-racialism, he cited one African American's assertion, posted online, that it's "time to move on" because Jim Crow laws and the civil rights movement have receded into the past. "We aren't helping ourselves by constantly looking to the past, and what our ancestors had to go through and demanding some sort of handout because of it," the commentator wrote.
Muhammad showed something from the past that echoed the idea of a "handout": a 19th-century flyer distorting the purpose of the Freedmen's Bureau, established by the federal government in 1865 to assist newly freed slaves. It describes the bureau as "an agency to keep the negro in idleness at the expense of the white man" and juxtaposes a picture of a white man hard at work with a grotesque rendering of a happily recumbent black man.
"I suspect that if an image like this circulated more in our classes, amongst our seventh graders, amongst our 10th graders, that if you actually taught this period, that our political discourse would be very different," Muhammad said.
"This is what's been left out of the textbook," he said. "And it's precisely the silences that get filled in with ideology."
Historical literacy is important for countering the ideologies of oppression that serve the interests of powerful elites, he said. "If people don't even know to question the historical narratives that they're being fed, then I feel like we're all complicit in it as educators."
Noting that President Obama's picture graces the covers of some college-level textbooks, he cautioned that the election of the first African-American president should not bring a sense of lasting triumph.
"If we go to the Reconstruction period, we have this … immediate ascent of formerly enslaved people to the highest offices of the political landscape: fourteen in Congress, two as U.S. senators, a couple of more as governors," he said. "And yet, by the turn of the 20th century none of them were serving anywhere in Washington, D.C., except to clean toilets and bathrooms, at least at the federal government level.
"If we knew our history better, if the makers of textbooks knew our history better, this immediate symbolic representation would at least be contrasted with the ongoing work to be vigilant about those gains; not to, in fact, metaphorically close the book on them."

Ok, so you registered your domain… hurray, congratulations to you… very exciting I'm sure Why didn't you take private domain registration? Do you realize that your info is now public and anyone can view it and misuse it?? What I mean is that those details you entered – including your full name, address, phone number & email are now available online for anyone to see! Try it now go to who.is and put your domain name in. Ok I'll give you 5 seconds
See… creepy right?! I'm not going to bother going into the reasons as to why you wouldn't want that information public (And Alessandro above does a better job than me!!). I'll leave that up to you… BUT if you don't like it you have a couple of options available to you that I think you should consider for your current and future domains. Enter Domain Privacy. Essentially what this does is allow you to *hide* these details using another entities details. So, when you do a search instead of showing your own details you show the other companies. The company then forwards emails to your address and therefore still keeps you in touch with your domain, but you don't have to be worried about your information being displayed. This service usually costs around $9 / domain / year and Viola your details are hidden.
If you're a cheapskate, you can also manually change the information yourself. So you can say that you are "John Smith" and that you live at "1223 Washinton Place, Washinton DC", and use a phone number for a local pizza joint in DC. Then, you create a separate free email address with gmail or windows live mail and use that email as the address for all of your domains. While this kind of set-up is grey area in terms of legality it again protects your private data.
Personally I like to use either domain privacy services included for FREE with registration or i use registerprivatedomain.com which costs me less than a dollar per domain.

Over 800 fans of Reading Together and this year's selection, Strength in What Remains, packed the Chenery Auditorium on March 10 to hear the author Tracy Kidder speak. This year the annual author visit signaled the kick off to KPL's community reading program. Kidder spoke eloquently of not only his relationship with the book's subject, Deogratias 'Deo' Niyizonkiza, but also the mythic journey of hope and forgiveness that Deo experienced. The presentation touched upon other timely topics in relation to world health, poverty, and what society can do to make change happen. In addition to speaking, Kidder shared a variety of photos that showed both the beauty of Burundi and the many residents whose lives have changed from proper medical care.
Many attendees commented on the way out that thought Kidder was "fabulous" and that his words really inspired them. I know that I heard Kidder's challenge to work towards asking our leaders make world health an important issue to tackle. If you attended the event, we thank you for participating and hope that it enhanced your reading of Strength in What Remains. There are still many more great events in the coming weeks that will further your enjoyment of the book.

Behr paint, end table, entryway table, Martha Stewart, Michaels Store, painted end table, stencil, turqoise furniture, turqoise table, vintage table
I found this pretty little table at an estate sale this summer. I liked the shape of it – especially the detail around the top.
I tried sanding the surface, but the sandpaper got all full of gunk… the paint was really sticky and gross! So I took out the furniture stripper and had at it.
When I was scraping off the paint from the bottom shelf, I noticed that the "paint" looked like it was lifting off from the wood beneath in one piece… so of course I poked it with a knife and found that underneath the paint, was some weird vinyl-like material that had been stapled onto the wood and then painted!! I ripped the whole thing off and beneath was a beautifully preserved piece of wood:
I primed it with my new favorite primer Kilz oil based spray, and lightly sanded it. I was sooooooooo excited to start painting it with my new mermaids treasure (Behr), that I forgot to take pics of it primed…
I painted three coats in a satin finish and lightly sanded and distressed.
Then I added the new Martha Stewart stencils I picked up at Michael's (PS – if you live in Vancouver, the new Broadway store is soooooo nice!!) in grey mixed with a bit of metallic pearl. I distressed the stencil a bit after it dried along with the rest of the table.
I'm really happy with the grey and teal together!
I'm loving these new stencils…
Here she is!! I finished her off with a bit of Minwax finishing paste.
I absolutely love how it turned out! It will be hard to part with this one…
I foresee more pieces this color in my future!
Have a great day!
P.S. Linking up to the parties on my Girls Just Want to Have Fun page!! and Miss Mustard Seed

Invesco's study has analysed sovereign revenues and defined the investment behaviours of major SWFs in the GCC region. These SWFs account for 35% of global SWF flows, representing $1.6 trn, a huge market which major global economies, including the UK, rely on for investment. This is Invesco's third asset management study of the GCC region (comprising the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman).
Invesco worked with independent strategy consultants NMG to conduct an in-depth market study based on over 100 face-to-face interviews on retail and institutional investor preferences across the GCC. The study shows the international flow of money directly from GCC sovereign governments and from SWFs has changed considerably in light of the current unrest, with large commodity-linked surpluses in these regions increasingly being put to use locally. (Please refer to Figure 1)
Even so, and despite stable and high oil prices, the available surplus, or investable assets, of governments in the GCC region is forecast to reduce by 9% in 2012 (compared to 2011) and surplus forecasts have been revised downwards since the Arab Spring, says the study. This is illustrated by the fact that forecast funding rates for the recipient SWFs have declined this year.
The findings of the survey look to undermine some of the latest news to emerge from the mega SWFs of the GCC. The Qatar Investment Authority, one of the largest and most diversified sovereign wealth funds in the GCC for example continues to veer from the norm. The latest news from the Gulf is that the SWF is about to increase its allocation to Shell, which will add to a growing roster of western investments by the fund. The Anglo-Dutch company declined to say what the size of the QIA holding is, but stock exchange rules in the United Kingdom meant that any stake over 3% will automatically trigger a public statement. Other reports suggest that the Qataris are in the middle of negotiations to buy a stake in Italian oil major ENI. It already holds a minority stake in Total, the French energy group. The QIA has also recently bought into Xstrata, as well as Barclays Bank.
Moreover, Abu Dhabi's normally secretive SWF opened up last October with the release of an official report which showed that the sovereign wealth fund remains diversified across all major global markets. Although over a year old, according to the report, ADIA's assets are largely allocated to developed equity investments. With an estimated $350bn in assets, the fund allocates 60% of its total portfolio to externally-managed indexed funds. Overall, roughly 80% of the fund's assets are invested by external fund managers. Allocations to developed equity markets constitute 35% to 45% of the fund's portfolio. Emerging market equities make up 10% to 20%. Government bonds make up 10% to 20% of the portfolio.
In terms of geographic prevalence, ADIA allocates 35% to 50% in North America, 25% to 35% in Europe, 10% to 20% in developed Asia, and 15% to 25% in emerging markets, according to the report. However, Invesco's latest study may point to a sea change. The Invesco study did not elucidate the detailed investment strategies of individual funds.
There are other deals in train. Most recently new banking venture NBNK has reportedly held talks with Middle Eastern SWFs to bolster its bid for 632 Lloyds branches that are up for sale, according to a recent Reuters news item; NBNK refused to comment. The venture was set up in 2010 by former Lloyd's of London insurance head Peter Levene, aiming to bring competition to a market dominated by four lenders. It is run by former Barclays and Northern Rock executive Gary Hoffman. Separately, the UK's Sunday Telegraph reported that NBNK had held discussions with Qatar Holdings and Abu Dhabi's Mubadala fund.
One of the fund's subsidiaries, Mubadala Healthcare (a business unit of Mubadala Development Company) and Dubai Health Authority (DHA) have signed a memorandum of understanding to discuss several key collaboration areas that will facilitate knowledge-sharing, partnership initiatives and improved access to care for patients in Dubai. The initial areas for collaboration outlined in the MOU relate specifically to three of Mubadala Healthcare's facilities—Wooridul Spine Centre, Tawam Molecular Imaging Centre and National Reference Laboratory—and focus on the facilitation of patient and laboratory test referrals, knowledge exchange and the inclusion of these facilities in the Government of Dubai's Enaya network.
While the investment approaches of the GCC SWFs remain mixed, one thing looks certain. According to Invesco's study, in 2011 funding rates grew at 13% compared to an increase in GCC government revenue of 25%, this year funding rates rose just 8%, despite GCC government revenue increasing by 31%. Funding for sovereign pension funds on the other hand rose from 8% growth in 2011 to 13% growth in 2012. There is an expectation that spending will continue to increase over time potentially outstripping commodity prices and shrinking surpluses further.
Of the sovereign surplus that is available for SWFs, those with local objectives are expected to benefit. Invesco forecasts SWF assets invested in benchmark driven SWFs who prioritise international asset manager products or ETFs have fallen by 1% since the beginning of the 'Arab Spring' in 2011. At the same time sovereign wealth fund assets allocated to SWFs investing locally, in infrastructure for example, have risen by 10%7, which illustrates a major shift (see Figure 2).
Nick Tolchard, head of Invesco Middle East commented: "It's clear that sovereign states are redirecting revenues and SWF assets from international investments back into the Middle East. The most common change across the region is money into local wage inflation, with healthcare and education a real focus for Saudi Arabia and Oman. Major infrastructure is a focus for Qatar due to the World Cup, and there are significant developments taking place in Abu Dhabi as it seeks to grow and set up as a major financial centre."
Tolchard continues: "Western governments, including the UK, have approached SWFs from the Middle East to help with economic recovery, but many will fight a losing battle. There is certainly less money to invest internationally so the stakes are higher. Those courting GCC money from outside the region will only win with a deep understanding of what is driving the thinking of SWFs, and a long term commitment to building bi-lateral relationships which add value to their investment policy."
Last year, Invesco created the first ever framework that categorises the core objectives of SWFs and revealed the drivers behind the investment strategy and preferences of these huge investment funds.
Last year, the study revealed that traditional investment SWFs (diversification vehicles and asset managers) appeared to be favouring developed markets, with around 54% of GCC SWF assets held in this region with the highest exposure to North America (29%) and to Western Europe (19%). Investment in North America is now down this year at 14% and Western Europe down at 6%, as a result of the Eurozone crisis. The clear shift in terms of geographic allocation of investment money has been towards the local region. Investment in assets related to the GCC moved up from 33% to 56%, with local bonds seeing a rise from 6% of SWF investable assets to 14%. Property and infrastructure have also take a large proportion of the investable assets from these SWFs, 13% and 14% respectively.
"The story this year is that it is no longer a given that large sovereign governments are going to direct their oil revenue surpluses around the globe, pumping cash into other global economies. There will be high profile, strategic investments like the proposed RBS deal, or indeed other large trophy assets, but it's a changed market. There will be contestable assets for fund managers in core relevant markets but with more money being deployed into the local economies it is likely to be a much more competitive landscape as long as the unrest continues," says Tolchard.

OK so I've played a few characters with Defense... Juggernaut, Templar, and my latest is a Conqueror.
Up until this point, I've been indifferent with the whole Adrenaline tree. I see build guides that praise it, and others that hate it... and I am at a loss here, because I've just discovered a post in another topic that just flipped my view of EVERYTHING upside-down.
I saw a post that said that the passive granted under Adrenaline, called Resilience, actually gives -%recharge to ALL skills (not just adrenaline).
For me, this still hasn't sold me on being a complete Adrenaline junky (yet), because I still don't actually understand how it works / triggers.
If it DOES work with ALL skills (-%recharge), then how does it work? Does it only affect skills that were already on cooldown during the initial Adrenaline rush? Is it completely passive, as in always giving the -%recharge?
If any of you TQ guru's out there would care to explain this to me, I'd be greatly appreciative! My thanks would come in the form of realizing hidden potential in my characters... however I would be quite resentful of the fact that I'd now have to respec 3 characters to factor in the Adrenaline tree...

East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - Eli Manning and Victor Cruz hooked up
for three touchdowns and the New York Giants closed out the first half
with 20 consecutive points en route to a 41-27 victory over the still-winless
Cleveland Browns at MetLife Stadium.
Ahmad Bradshaw contributed a career-best 200 rushing yards and a touchdown on
30 carries to help the defending world champion Giants (3-2) fight back from
an early 14-0 deficit and bounce back from a tough loss at NFC East-rival
Philadelphia a week prior.
New York erupted for 17 unanswered points over the final 2:52 of the second
quarter to claim a 27-17 advantage, converting two takeaways by safety Stevie
Brown into touchdowns by Bradshaw and Cruz.
Manning finished with 259 yards on 25-of-37 passing and was intercepted once
in directing a Giants offense that racked up 502 total yards on the afternoon.
Cleveland's Brandon Weeden completed 22-of-35 throws for 291 yards and a pair
of touchdowns to fellow rookie Josh Gordon, but was intercepted twice as the
Browns fell to 0-5 for the first time since losing their first seven tests of
Trent Richardson accumulated 81 rushing yards and a touchdown on 17 attempts
for Cleveland, while Jordan Norwood paced the Browns receivers with a nine-
catch, 81-yard effort.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maya Amazing taste and texture We love Jasmine rice, and this blend reminded me of one used at a restaurant we loved. It is so delicious. The rice needs to be washed, but not soaked prior to cooking. I made it in our rice cooker, and it was perfectly cooked. The finished rice is a gorgeous shade of purple with a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. It's so much more interesting than just plain white Jasmine rice and turns a simple stir fry into a work of art. Red and purple jasmine rice are very difficult to find even on line so the price per pound is really quite reasonable. I only wish it came in 5 or 10 pound bags! January 14, 2014

Ashley Strickland is an associate producer at CNN.com. She likes cajoling recipes from athletes and studying up on food holidays. We ran this post in 2011, and it seemed painfully relevant this flu season.
After the "office funk" attacked for the third time this fall, I decided to take action. I needed to find an antioxidant powerhouse with the strength to fight off any and all germs and allergies. The usual suspects just weren't cutting it and I needed a new weapon.
During my frantic search, I stumbled upon something with such a miraculous list of healthy ingredients, I couldn't say no. And last week, I'm proud to say that green soup entered my life.

John Cameron Mitchell might not have a new film out at the moment, but he's in Berlin for the film festival with plenty of other activities keeping him busy. On a break from writing the stage sequel to Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Mitchell was invited by the Berlinale Talent Campus to speak about cinematic depiction of sex for Thursday's "Some Like It Hot" panel at HAU1. Later that night, he and I will join Shortbus stars PJ DeBoy and Paul Dawson for MATTACHINE Berlin, the first European edition of their semi-legendary NYC dance party, taking place at Monster Ronson's.

Written in 1952, this hugely successful novella confirmed Hemingway's power and presence in the literary world and played a large part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.
©1952 Ernest Hemingway; (P)2006 Simon and Schuster Inc. AUDIOWORKS is an imprint of Simon and Schuster Audio Division, Simon and Schuster Inc.
"Truly a Classic"
Even though this is such a famous title, I had never read it before and really didn't know much about it. What a treat this audiobook was. For such a short story, it is surprising how strong the character development is. In no time, you feel a strong affinity for the 2 main non-finned characters. Donald Sutherland does an excellent job of narrating, with just the right amount of drama and accent. For much of the story, he was NOT the narrator, he WAS the "old man". One of my top 3 audiobooks, and I have a couple hundred.
"Buy it!"
If you care at all about the English language you must use 2 1/2 hours of your time on the planet listening to this work. It is possibly the simplest scenario imaginable for a novel but is completed with style and economy which is what made Hemingway unique. The icing on the cake is that Sutherland's narration is nearly as exceptional as the book itself. Buy it!
"The Old Man & the Sea"
A must buy! Narrated by Donald Sutherland, need I say more.
"Pain of life and beauty of life."
I try to avoid sad books, but I'm glad for the experience. I cried.
The old man is a fisherman, lives in a shack. He's had bad fishing luck for many days. Most the story is his fishing trip alone on a small boat. He struggles and faces obstacles without complaint. There is a dignity to him. I cried in the scenes with the boy. The boy knows the old man has no food. The old man says he will eat later. He does not ask for help. The boy brings food and they quietly eat it. The boy loved and cared for the old man with such respect and esteem. That really pushed my buttons. I've never been loved like that. It's the way an ideal parent would love a child.
My two emotional reactions. I was sad to experience the old man's struggles and pain, yet I was inspired and admired his determination and actions. Then I cried as I watched the love from the boy. A slight comfort came in the way one feels after crying.
This book was the catalyst for Hemingway winning the Nobel Prize which probably influenced me to give it 5 stars.
Donald Sutherland was wonderful.
Genre: fiction.
Ending: Some comfort, but also sad.
54 yrs, ,memb 12yrs,library -75%nonfic 10% fiction,15% classics. History, all sciences, bio, classics,diverse other interests.
I know-but its Donald Sutherland you say- I thought he would do it justice too but it just didn't work at all for me, I read the book years ago and loved it,so I was really disappointed.- I even ended up listening to it twice because my son needed to read it. He just didn't fit the material-( as far as I'm concerned).As for the story, its great.
I like to listen to audio books whilst mountain biking.
"Superbly read"
Donald Sutherland's tired, smokey voice is perfect for this reading. You can almost feel the tired, aching old body. Loved it.
"In its own league"
Perfect combination of story and reader. The writing is so simple, sentences so chopped, it required an actor's reading. Donald Sutherland doesn't rush a word or a sentence. It's rivetting each moment, ironically in a story where time passes so slowly. I felt that I was in the presence of masters, both writer and reader. The few obvious times where there was an edit and the volume changed were the only times I had a jolt into reality.
I had tears in my eyes when it ended, simply to have to leave the harsh and tender beauty of the fiction.
"Did not want it to end"
Best book I have listened to in years. Narrator was awesome and fit the book perfectly. Should be required listening or reading for all students in school. To be able to write a story like this is a true gift and makes you appreciate what incredible author Hemmingway was.
"I love Hemingway"
I've only recently started getting into Hemingway, but this is my favourite book of his to date.
I struggle paying attention to literature with audiobooks, but the length and pace of the book made this idea for me.
Really well read, he really engaged me in the journey.
Yes, and I would have if I had known in advance and picked a suitable time. Instead I was forced to put it down at several points and I found that I was always slowly approaching my final destination to hear a bit more.
Great story, but then it is Hemingway, so you knew that already.
"A classic and it's clear why"
I struggle to find time to read with two small children around but I listened to this in one sitting. Fantastic storytelling.
"Just wonderful...."
The endurance and persistence of the human spirit, the injustice and brutality of life, facing mortality, take your pick! A classic, economically written and melodically and soothingly narrated.
"Concise Moby Dick"
This book is beautifully read by Donald Sutherland. It's quite short, so you can listen to it over and over again!
"Amazing and beautiful"
I always wanted to read 'The Old Man and the Sea' by Hemingway, but I could never get into it. However, this audio book really brings it to life and helped me appreciate the beauty of Hemingway's work.
"really good food for the soul"
loved the story, I can see why it won an a award. the story is mellow, tender even. what a finish!
"Very good"
Great performance, great story, well worth a listen. Would recommend to a friend. Well done
Narrator exactly captured what I felt on first reading 50 years ago.Looking forward to more from Mr.Sutherland.Death in the Afternoon?
"Sutherland is very monotonous"
The reading of narrator Donald Sutherland is very monotonous. It is difficult to listen to a longer periods of time.

President Barack Obama said Thursday he knew nothing about the IRS targeting conservative groups until the inspector general's report was leaked to the press. Greenville conservative groups meanwhile are speaking out about the IRS scrutiny.
Greenville Tea Party leader Diane Rufino says the local group was not targeted, but she believes what happened across the country with other conservative groups is criminal. President Obama is dealing with multiple scandals, including the IRS, Benghazi, and the gathering of telephone records of Associated Press reporters. Rufino says she believes it could all negatively affect the president's second term.
"I think his second term could be marred by investigation, by mistrust, and he could be bogged down by these investigations, and it could prevent him from having credibility on other issues," said Rufino
Meantime, a former IRS worker and now East Carolina University political science professor, tells WITN people have been quick to judge what happened without knowing all the facts.
Late Thursday afternoon, a second IRS official, the commissioner in charge of the agency's tax exempt and government entities division said he will resign.

Aqua Eructo Charm
Revision as of 01:41, February 5, 2013 by ProfessorTofty (Talk | contribs)
13,129pages on
this wiki
this wiki
Aqua Eructo is a charm that can create a jet of water, with an icy blue coloured light that can be controlled by the user's will. Instructions to perform the charm are listed in a certain spellbook.
The spell was used by Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley quite often during the year of 1994, to put out several fires around the Hogwarts school grounds and during the Quidditch World Cup.
Known practitioners
The word "Aqua" means in Latin, "Water" and the word "Eructo" comes from the verb "to raise". "Aqua Eructo" means, roughly translated: "I Raise Water", which is reflected in the spell, which shoots jets of water.
Behind the scenes
- The spell first appears in the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, it is likely the spell was created to have the same qualities of Aguamenti, just instead had a different casting name as it was first used to put fires out.
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (video game) (First appearance)

Hi Ari!
This is FABULOUS! Congratulations. I can't wait to see more incredible style.
I have to believe that this is another example of "do what you love ( the money will follow)". Thank you for your artistry and kindness.

That's wonderful Ari! I wonder if you will find the European versions of Debra, Mary Ann, Jean, or Ilona? I'm looking forward to seeing the photos!
- June 21, 2010 at 8:11 PM
Well done Ari. I do hope you will explore London outside of the self-selecting clientelle of Selfridges. You will find the visitors to the Victoria and ALbert Museum (not that far away) likely to be of more eclectic interest. And of course, your street photography skills will make this so much more rewarding.
Wouldn't it be fun to take Debra along with you? I'd love to meet up should we be in London at the same time.
I look forward to some more of your inspiring interviews and photographs.

Ari Seth, congratulations indeed, that's terrific. I'm a first time commenter here and take the opportunity to thank you (and your colleagues Maayan and Debra) for your work, which inspires, definitely, but is also moving, uplifting and very real to me. I love the focus on the artistic and the personal, rather than the purely fashionable. An extraordinary blog, to which I've become attached immediately. Merci once more and have a wonderful time in London. Hope you'll be posting some of your shots here!

Thank god they didn't use win for successful hacking
System Shock 2 begins with you being unfrozen from a long cryogenic sleep aboard the Rickenbacker, a security spaceship assigned to tail the Von Braun on her maiden voyage. Apparently, the Von Braun has been infested by an unknown alien race and has converted the crew into relatively intelligent zombies. You must gather bits of audio clips along the way to figure out what happened to your crew and, more importantly, how you can rid the ship of the aliens. Rely on your skills training from either the Navy, Marines, or OSA to guide you on this difficult path. This 3D title offers unbelievable graphics, as the Thief engine is utilized to provide mouth-watering environments and character skins. The astounding graphics, varied RPG elements, and fluid action make this title worthwhile.
Thank god they didn't use win for successful hacking

Overall, U.S. conventional mutual funds posted net inflows of $30.8 billion, as flows into equity funds (+$34.9 billion net) kept the larger group in the black for the quarter. Taxable bond investors were pushed back on their heels as they redeemed roughly $16.8 billion after the Federal Reserve announce they may soon look into tapering their asset-purchases, sending Treasury rates up to levels not seen since 2011. Municipal bond funds followed suit as they also pulled nearly $17 billion from their accounts. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continued to draw assets, posting $10.4 billion for the same period. Money market funds ended the quarter with net outflows of $13.1 billion.

As you know, Friday we will be sending out mass mails and PR releases, as well as starting up a batch of events. This is kind of our pre-release time. Today, we're turning on the Cashier ahead of time – figured I'd get it out of the way now if there is some kind of infinite gran bug… (leaps to avoid trampling).
I'll give a full spiel Friday, but as you know, we're working on revamping the game ecosystem, which includes the monetization system. It doesn't take a genious to see that needs some re-vamping. Unfortunately, the game as-is doesn't exactly respond too well to changing one part without the others. My 4 years of trying a little here and a little there has led me to believe the best course of action is a more holistic approach, so I will not be doing a drastic change to the shop in the short term (but yes, we will be doing one once more groundwork is laid down). Still, this is Logress here, and those who remember which shop events I was behind know that you can expect more things like Gold Boxes and Packs and Pre-builts and beginner's packs and faction packs, and less things like fifty bucks gets you 1% chance of something great.
Another subtly important change is that from now until we can launch an all-new next generation Alteil, all payments will be treated as donations… which means, other than we will appreciate them more, we will also disclose what we are spending money on each month. And no, I'm not talking about not b****es and c***k (sometimes necessary during Media Blasters' days). I'm talking about software development, hiring coders, and otherwise turning the money into stuff for you, the user. May not seem like a big deal, but it means a lot to me and all of us at Apocoplay.
Only PAYPAL for now, but you can use a credit card by hitting 'I don't have a paypal account'. Am working on getting hooked up with playspan, the successor to paybycash.
