Investment Programs
Investment Impulse: Anti Crisis Program in action
According to the Ministry of Economy and State Statistics Committee, one of the key factors of steady and balanced growth of the national economy in the past nine months was high investment growth rates (128.3%). 371 new production facilities were launched.
The new facilities that after their commissioning will operate in manufacturing sector will produce new jobs, and hence lead to growth in income, expansion in the range of goods and services offered by local businesses. These investments contribute to the further increase in the country's potential.
This is the very link which, through construction of large production facilities, initiates a "chain reaction" in launching new small and entrepreneurial businesses. One of the brightest examples can be seen at the unitary subsidiary enterprise Shurtan Gas and Chemical Complex who carry on deep processing of natural gas. Over the past eight years polyethylene pellets from Shurtan have given a strong impetus to the development of entrepreneurial initiatives in manufacturing high-quality films, packaging, pipe and pipeline components, insulation and cable jackets. Dozens of new companies organized in the country run their business based on locally produced raw materials. Since last year, residential apartments in the country have been provided with polyethylene pipes of 315-630 mm produced at JSC Jizzakh Plastic, a major consumer of Shurtan polyethylene.
Being a "circulatory system" of the economy, the banking and financial sector plays an important role in maintaining high growth in investment influx. Stable operation of the banking and financial system aimed at long-term balanced development of the economy is one of the key factors promoting steady advancement and strengthening the economic power of our country.
In this area, the republic has oved to create an adequate margin of safety which helped not only minimize the negative effects of the global recession but develop and expand the activities of financial institutions.
As a result of purposeful efforts, the aggregate capital of the banking system in the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period of the last year grew by 41.2% and exceeded 2.4 trillion soums.
Through active attracting of funds and introduction of new and incentive driven deposits, total deposits in commercial banks for the first nine months of the year, vis-a-vis the same period in the last year, increased by 50.9% and exceeded 7.5 trillion soums. Personal deposits showed the most rapid growth. Their volume in credit institutions grew by 68.8% as compared with the corresponding period in 2008, and exceeded 2.5 trillion soums. This clearly demonstrates the strengthening public confidence in the banking system of the country.
Year of investment activity
The year 2009 for banks in Uzbekistan has become the one of investment activity. As is known, one of the measures in the Anti Crisis Program in Uzbekistan constitutes capitalization of the banking sector. As part of a number of presidential regulations aimed to support active investment process in 2008-2009, over 490 billion soums were channeled to raise the capitalization of national banks. Moreover, this increase in the authorized capital of banks has one distinctive feature: the funds allocated by the state should encourage bank lending of basic industries at concessional interest rates.
Financial support has been already provided to major investment projects on modernization of enterprises of Uzbekenergo, Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Combine, JSC O'zkimyofarm, Farg'onaazot.
In 2009, announced as it is the Year of Rural Development and Improvement, the recently established Qishloq Qurilish Bank is actively funding the construction of houses in rural areas built in accordance with approved standard design using modern building materials.
The investment locomotive of the banking system is deservingly considered the National Bank for Foreign Economic Affairs of Uzbekistan (NBU). According to NBU, as of November 1, 2009, the bank provided financial facilities amounting to $314.6 million and €286.2 million in foreign currency and more than 1.6 billion soums in national currency. Its credits are involved in virtually all sectors of the economy of the republic, including railways, road and air communications.
The financial institution funded a project on modernization of Navoi Thermal Power Plant with the construction of a combined-cycle plant. Credit funds of the National Bank provided a good impetus for launching of the 500kVt power line between G'uzor and Surkhon substations and an autotransformer for Surkhon substation with total credit needs of $427 million.
Considerable part of credit facilities is aimed at developing oil and gas industry.
The bank finances modernization of Uzbekneftegaz's fleet of drilling rigs. Companies of the holding are equipped with drilling rigs and 3D seismic survey systems that will increase the average daily volumes of gas and oil production not only by vertical drilling but horizontally as well.
Currently, the project of a gas dehydration plant at Kungrad compression station and Ohongaron- Pungan gas pipeline through Kamchik Pass is being financed with total credit needs of $99.9 million. A project of an installation of propane-butane mixture for increasing the production of liquefied gas at Muborak Gas Processing
Factory is about to get credit resources.
Long-term loans for manufacturing sector
In July 2009, President Islam Karimov adopted the decree "On additional measures to stimulate the increase in the share of long-term loans of commercial banks directed to investment projects". This is another effective incentive for national banks in attracting industrial investment. Since construction of new enterprises, reconstruction, technical upgrading and expansion of existing industries, production of new goods is associated with long-term credit facilities and need "long money".
Rise in long-term credit facilities were ensured by benefits provided to both banks and their customers. Depending on the share of long-term investment in the bank's loan portfolio, commercial banks get reduced profit tax rate. The higher the proportion of long-term loans is, the lower the profit tax is. The Central Bank suggested another good incentive through introduction of differential rates of mandatory reserves on attracted deposits of legal entities, depending on the duration of deposits. This mechanism employs the same principle: the longer the duration term is the lower rate of compulsory backup is applied.
Concerning the client base, legal entities are exempt till January 1, 2015, from tax on their deposits and debt securities, placed with commercial banks.
Introduction of long-term lending mechanism is a good sign for further expansion of investment activities. In accordance with the government decision, the largest banks have created departments for coordination and monitoring of investment activities. Functions of structural units of banks that provide expertise, funding and monitoring of investment projects has been substantially altered and expanded. Banks introduce the post of deputy chairman responsible for investment activities. These positions are assigned to managers with deep command in legal framework, possessing necessary skills in investment activity, selection and expertise of investment projects.
According to the Central Bank, the amount of loans allocated for more than a year in the structure of the total loan portfolio of banks exceeds 70%.
Incentives for modernization
Government measures broaden the participation of domestic commercial banks in the processes of modernization, technical and technological re-equipment of enterprises. Under the State investment program this year, according to the Ministry of Finance, the country carried out 665 industrial investment projects funded by enterprises, commercial banks and foreign direct investment. This provides ample opportunities for the country's banking sector that has got a worthy assessment of international financial institutions.
In the first 9 months of 2009 the capital adequacy of Uzbekistan's banks constituted 23.4%, almost 3 times higher than the standards adopted by the Basel Committee (8 percent).
One of the main factors of stability is the liquidity of the banking system which also enjoys sufficient level and puts the banks of Uzbekistan on the international scene in line with the most reliable and stable partners. This figure exceeds $1.7 billion, which is 10 times higher than the current liabilities of banks for external payments. It also confirms high stability of the system. In addition, the airbag of the banking system is $1.485 trillion soums (about $1 billion at the rate of the Central Bank).
The mission of executive directors of the International Monetary Fund at the conclusion of their visit to Uzbekistan on October 14, 2009, gave positive evaluation of the economic policy of the country as they said "Uzbekistan has shown considerable resistance to the global economic crisis as a result of prudent policy that allowed the government to accumulate substantial resources necessary for ensuring growth in this period and confront the downturn, as well as through sound policy of participation in global financial markets."
Quick updating
Growth of investment in fixed capital is the main component of business activity in the society. The fact that more than 70% of total investment is drawn in manufacturing sector is highly noteworthy. Since 2000, national industry is the main area of capital investment and application of forces in building complex. This sphere in recent years attracted more than a third of all investments.
For comparison, according to the Central Bank, the investment growth in fixed assets in 2008 compared with 2005 increased fivefold. If in 2005 the increase was 5.7%, in 2008 it was 28.3%. In other words, the country maintains a steady growth in investment in fixed assets, mainly in the manufacturing sector.
What are the areas preferred for major capital investment? Those who, based on huge resource potential, address the key challenges of employment.
Analysis of investment in capital construction for the first nine months of 2009 by economic sectors based on the data of State Statistics Committee suggests that the capital investment totaling $9 trillion soums were mostly concentrated in transport and communications (53.8%), fuel and energy complex (14.6%), geology and exploration of mineral resources (12.2%). Moreover, these areas have been particularly attractive for foreign investment and loans.
Transport infrastructure – aviation, railways and motor roads – suffered intensive update during this period. Navoi airport is being modernized as was got the status of a free of industrial and economic zone. Aircraft fleet of the national air company is being filled with new liners of foreign and domestic production. New passenger locomotives and comfortable buses are acquired.
Communications retain leading positions in the renewal of fixed capital. The government takes significant efforts to mass introduction and use of information and communication technologies. In June 2002, the Cabinet of Ministers approved a program of development of information and communication technologies for 2002-2010. The main directions in this area cover development of communications infrastructure, expansion of national segment of the internet, computerization and software industry. The fastest growing segment of the market is mobile communications. The total amount of funds allocated for the reconstruction and modernization of three leading cellular companies, according to forecast parameters of 2009 Investment Program should make up $285 million. National telecommunications operator Uzbektelecom accelerates investment in the development of DWDM networks and expansion of wireless data access.
Fuel and energy complex experiences sound capital construction. Major investors in the Uzbek oil and gas sector come from Korea, China, Russia, Malaysia and Switzerland. Particular attention is paid to construction along the gas supply network of Uzbekneftegaz national holding company. Modernization of industrial infrastructure the oil and gas holding company includes reengineering of domestic gas pipelines, construction of a booster-pump station on Gazli gas deposit in Bukhoro region, as well as modernization of infrastructure of Kungrad compressor station in Karakalpakstan.
Geology and exploration of mineral resources also carries on active update of fixed assets with attraction of foreign capital.
According to the forecast of the Ministry of Economy, the expected growth rate of gross domestic product by the end of the year will amount to 108%, industrial output – 109.3%. commissioning of more than 420 production facilities in 2008 and more than 370 objects in the first nine months of 2009 have created the safety margin that ensured such a growth.
Priority to rehabilitation of production
Ziyodulla Davlatov,
director, crediting department, Xalq Banki of Uzbekistan:
Participation in implementation of promising programs on modernization, technical and technological upgrade of production is one of priority direction in the crediting policy of Xalq Banki. We opened a new department for coordination and monitoring the investment activity within the bank with the purpose of full-fledged and effective fulfillment of set tasks.
Xalq Banki takes part in co-financing of investment projects in promising economy sectors within the Investment Program for 2009-2010 together with the leading commercial banks of the country such as National Bank for Foreign Economic Affairs, Sanoatqurilishbank and Asaka Bank.
The Navoi Mining and Metallurgy Combine received a considerable financial support for technical extension by means of target funds allotted by shareholders for the increase of the bank's capitalization. Starting from this year Xalq Banki offers real assistance for modernization in Olmaliq Mining and Metallurgy Combine. This year we allotted about 40 billion soums.
Small and entrepreneurial business in rural areas remains the priority direction of crediting in the Year of Rural Development and Improvement. For that the bank allocated over 170.7 billion soums including 90.6 billion soums to support small business. This made it possible to create over 84,800 new jobs and increase rural employment.
Recently we signed an agreement with the Savings Bank Fund of Germany within the international cooperation on establishment of resumed crediting fund to support the beginning small and entrepreneurial business entities in the Republic of Karakalpakstan.
Modernization extends business horizons
Rafik Karimov,
director for commerce, ELUS scientific production enterprise.
Our enterprise reckons among 156 projects that concluded technical extension within the first 9 months of 2009. New winding tools enable us to accelerate the manufacture of winding for transformers of all kinds: power, oil and measuring current transformers.
Modern equipment releases people from monotonous and labor-intensive work, enables them to fulfill it more workmanlike and raises productivity by three times at minimum.
Use of automated tools raises the accuracy of manufactured equipment, decreases drawbacks, and therefore enhances operating life and reliability.
This is very important for private enterprise which imposed itself with responsibility of providing the domestic big energy sector with high-voltage equipment for transformer sub-stations.
The products by ELUS are demanded by enterprises of machine building, oil and gas sectors, chemical industry and Ministry of agriculture and water economy. Farms, small and entrepreneurial companies are among our customers.
Funds invested into regeneration enable the only producer of 500 kilovolt voltage equipment in Central Asia to improve its quality under reduced cost. This intensifies competitiveness in the rapidly growing domestic market of electrotechnical equipment.
Modernization opened new horizons for entering markets in neighboring states to the Uzbek enterprise the production of which meets all international standard requirements.
Stock markets increase their turnover
Natalya Barsukova,
production manager, Vaqt Central Depositary:
We can observe a stable growth of key qualitative and quantitative indicators in the securities market in 2009. They comprise significant growth of volumes of primary share distribution, raise of the capitalization level in joint-stock companies and increase of sectoral diversification of actively sold liquid financial instruments. This is connected with the augmentation of the capital of joint-stock societies up to the level specified by law and this is an important positive trend since the primary distribution of securities favors attraction of resources to issuers through the stock market mechanisms and leads to the expansion of aggregate investment volumes in the economy.
The issue and distribution of safety stock in the primary market is one of the ways used by the issuer for attraction of the long-term financing in terms of growing scale of business. Investors use this way not only for acquisition of income but also for participation in business management. The issue and distribution of loan securities is an effective way for the issuer to attract borrowed current assets and to get a stable income for investor.
Thus, we have all components (objects to invest in, stable and debugged system of stocktaking and transition of rights for securities) for formation of integral, liquid, transparent and effective securities market as a component of financial market in the Republic of Uzbekistan promoting attraction of investment first of all into the real economy sector.
Crediting system is profitable and convenient
Adham Musakhanov,
deputy chairman, MEXMASH:
We use the services of the National Bank of Uzbekistan's crediting system more than a year. The experience showed its profitability and convenience. We received essential credits for modernization of our production from National Bank this year. One of them was directed to the purchase of modern equipment consisting of three productions lines oriented for manufacture of metal electrically welded pipes from 10 millimeters to 130 millimeters in diameter. Dismantlement of the obsolete equipment and assembly of the new one has been carried out by the present time. Currently we are finishing commissioning and we hope to start producing new equipment from this December.
Foreign direct investment in the Uzbek economy reached about $545 million in 2005, up 67% year-on-year. It is planned to implement 134 investment projects for a total of $ 917.97 million in 2006 under its Investment Programme. In particular it is expected to attract foreign loans guaranteed by the government for $ 365.41 million and foreign direct investment of around $552.56 million. The fuel and energy sector is expected to attract the largest volume of foreign investment at $176.4 million.
The industrial enterprises established with foreign investment which are investing heavily in projects included in the Investment Program of the Republic of Uzbekistan - are exempt from income (profit) tax within the first seven years from the date of their official registration.
Land plots allotted for construction of objects included into the Investment Program of the Republic of Uzbekistan for the normative period of construction as well as those occupied by objects laid up according to appropriate decisions issued by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan are exempt from the land tax.

Invasion of habitats by non-native species is one of the major factors that threaten global biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. China is becoming one of the most severely invaded countries in the world with increasing frequency of deliberate species introduction, international tourism and worldwide trade of agricultural products. A comprehensive understanding of invasion process and involved mechanism is very necessary to avoid the outbreak of invasive species and prevent new invasion. Solidago canadensis L, the worldwide invader with a invasion history over 70 years in China, has been extensively studied in the last decades. However, few studies concerned the persistent and profound impacts on local environment induced by invasion, and their feedbacks on subsequent invasion and plant community dynamics. Here, we reviewed the successful invasion mechanisms of S. canadensis from its biological characteristics, invasibility of the introduced range, allelopathic effect and plant-soil feedbacks based on novel interests and recent advancements, analyzed and evaluated the inherent relations between four aspects above. It suggested that invasion was a complicated biological process that involved multitrophic interactions of herbivores, carnivores, plants and decomposers, and a result of interactions between multiple mechanisms, among which the most far reaching reason was disturbance by human activities. The strong vegetative propagules produced by rhizome of S. canadensis strengthened its population established in invaded habitat, and the numerous fertile offspring expanded new habitat through wind dispersal. The high phenotype plasticity to resource fluctuation and high tolerance to stress conditions offered extra advantages over local competitors. These extrinsic performance could partially be explained by intrinsic features as S. canadensis was a polyploid complex and characterized by high genetic diversity. Moreover, the strong allelopathic effects on native plants and soil borne pathogens significantly inhibited potential antagonists, which undoubtedly further extended its dominance. Susceptibility of the introduced range resulted from appropriate climate, low biotic resistance and strong human disturbance provided favorable conditions for invasion. Besides, facilitated by mycorrhizal mutualism also played an important role in the invasion of S. canadensis. Community structure of arbustracular mycorrhizal fungi was changed in a way that favored S. canadensis more than native host plants. The mechanism of host preference remained unclear and represented an intriguing field that awaited to be intensively studied. Up to now, however, enemy release from goldenrod specific gallmaker and other pathogens in China did not show any positive impacts on its growth and reproduction. Although parasitized by Cuseuta japoniea exhibited an obvious biological control potential, its ecological risks need to be further examined and evaluated before extensive application. Prospects for the study of S. canadensis in the future were proposed with emphases on (1) isolation, structure determination and in situ acting mechanism illumination of allelochemicals; {2) establishment and improvement of database, population dynamic and spreading tendency prediction using mathematical models; (3) long term monitoring on post invasion environmental changes, study on functions of S. canadensis in ecosystem and co-evolution with local organisms and (4) proper utilization, effective control and eradication method of S. canadensis.

Acta Polymerica Sinica | Year: 2014
Controlled/living radical polymerization ( CLRP) is one of the most rapidly developing areas in polymer science, and among the various existing technique, nitroxide-mediated polymerization ( NMP) was the first to be proposed. Most researches focused on the development of aliphatic nitroxide while few studies were devoted to the use of aromatic nitroxides in NMP. This paper describes nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate ( MM A ) in the presence of 4, 4 '-dimethoxydiphenyl nitroxide ( DMDPN) and azobisisobutyronitriie ( AIBN ) . The aromatic nitroxide was synthesized by oxidation of 4 ,4'- dimethoxydiphenyl amine with oxone under biphasic conditions ( CH2Cl2/H20) in rapid and good yields. The bulk polymerization of MMA was conducted in sealed glass tubes at different conditions. The polymerization kinetics was monitored by gravimetric method while the molecular weight and its distribution of poly ( methyl methacrylate) ( PMMA ) synthesized were determined by gel permeation chromatography. The effects of the nitroxide/initiator ratio and polymerization temperature on thepolymerization kinetic, molecular weight and polydispersity index ( PDI ) of PMMA were investigated in detail, and reinitiation reaction experiment was conducted to veriiy the chain-end activity. The results showed that in this polymerization system, as the DMDPN allows delocalization of the single electron through the aromatic ring, the side reaction of β-H transfer from the propagating macro radicals to the free nitroxide which would hinder the propagating process, was neglected and the chain propagation in MMA polymerization could be efficiently controlled. Molecular weight of PMMA increased linearly with monomer conversion at diferent DMDPN/AIBN ratios and temperatures which was diferent from common radical polymerization. The PMMA could be reinitiated which showed the characteristics of controlled/living radical polymerization. The polymerization rate was quite fast at low DMDPN/AIBN ratios and an induction period appeared when the ratio was too high. At the DMDPN/AIBN ratio of 1. 6, the PDI was the lowest and the curve of ln( M 0/M) versus time was a straight line which crossed the coordinate origin. The polymerization rate increased and PDI decreased as the polymerization temperature increased. MMA polymerization could even been operated at 70 °C though the PDI was relative higher.

Acta Polymerica Sinica | Year: 2014
In this study hyperbranched polyacetals ( HBPAs) were used as a new type of porogens to prepare porous biodegradable microspheres. HBPAs were synthesized through the transacetalization process , which was carried out with an AB 2 type monomer of 4-( 2-hydroxyethoxy ) -benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal and a B2 type core of benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal catalyzed with pyridinium camphorsulfonate ( PCS ) . The results demonstrated that HBPAs were highly pH sensitive. They degraded rapidly at pH 5. 0 , and barely degraded at pH 7. 4. The porous biodegradable pol (lactic acid ) ( PLA) microspheres were prepared by blending HBPAs and PLA with the emulsion-solvent evaporation method and the blending microspheres were then placed in acidic conditions for 2 weeks. As HBPAs hydrolyzed faster than PLA , the HBPAs component was first degraded from the blending microspheres to form small pores in the PLA matrix. DSC results and degradation process of the blending microspheres showed that the phase separation appeared in the blending microspheres of HBPAs and PLA. This phase separation favored the hydrolysis of HBPAs in the blending microspheres. The pore size of the microspheres can be regulated by changing the weight ratio of HBPAs to PLA. With increasing the HBPAs amount, the pore size of the PLA microspheres increased in a linear manner. HBPAs, as a new type of porogens, offer a new method to prepare porous microspheres.

Reviews/Comments On Legend
Legend is actually Book 1 of the Drenai series. It isn't a standalone.Was this review helpful to you?
can not believe that this great book is only third, in my humble opinion having read the others as well, it is far better than those selected to be ahead of it.Was this review helpful to you?
The book links are to a completely different author and genreWas this review helpful to you?
I couldn't disagree more with this review of Legend!
Gemmell only ever wrote his characters in shades of grey - you have "heroes" that are psychopaths and madmen and are considered heroes because they happen to be killing for the "right" side, and "villains" who are doing bad things only for what they consider to be the greater good.
Agree with the last comment, this review is the opposite of how I read Gemmell books. Nothing is ever black and white, everything is considered in terms of unforeseen consequences affecting innocent victims.
Where I do agree is that Gemmell is the best story-teller there ever has been. You'll read better prose, better characterisations, etc, but you'll never read stories that are as well woven together as Gemmell's.
I think the characters in Legend were incredibly black and white. I was extremely disappointed after reading the Rigante series. The characters are two dimensional and the scale is tiny.Was this review helpful to you?
My favorite story teller.Left the world to soon.Was this review helpful to you?

William W. Walker
WILLIAM W. WALKER. One of the families of Lola township, Kansas, that can rightfully lay claim to distinction as being among the pioneer element in Cherokee County, is that of Mrs. Catherine Walker, now represented by herself and several stalwart sons, the father, William W. Walker, having died in 1882.
Mr. Walker was born in Clay County, Indiana, in 1822. He grew to manhood in the "Hoosier State," and there married Catherine Lints, the lady who now survives him and whose birth occurred November 22, 1832. She was a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Renaud) Lints, the former being a native of Pennsylvania, and the latter, of Virginia. Mr. Walker was a son of Richard and Drusilla Walker, of Kentucky, and was one of a family of 10 children,four boys and six girls.
Five sons and four daughters were born to Mr. and Mrs. Walker. Mrs. Maria E. Dobbs, the eldest, is deceased; Henry C. and Robert manage the farm, and look after the interests of the home: James M. lives on the farm, and occupies a separate house; Mrs. Laura A. Payne is deceased: William S. is a farmer of Cherokee County; Charles W. lives in Pawhaska, Oklahoma; and Mrs. Ida M. Ingersoll and Mrs. Nellie M. Troop reside in Columbus, Kansas.
Mr. Walker followed agricultural pursuits during his lifetime. In 1875 he came to Kansas, using the wagon route, and taking six weeks to make the trip. The Walker farm comprises nearly 320 acres in section 12, township 33 range 21 and section 7, township 33, range 22, in Lola township. The breaking of the raw prairie, and the making of other early improvements occupied the father's attention until his death, since which time the widow and sons have worked to such advantage, that now they have a large farm under cultivation, and a good substantial farm house and buildings,all standing as monuments to their hard labor, perseverance and energy.
Mr. Walker was a pensioner of the Mexican War, having served under Gen. Zachary Taylor. He was a stanch Whig, and although his party opposed the war, yet the chief military renown was won by it,both Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott being Whigs.
Mr. Walker was a man of very liberal views, believing in working for principle and the right, regardless of friend or foe. He was possessed of many sterling qualities, and was highly esteemed by his neighbors. The family which he left are all occupying responsible positions in life, which is due to the early training of the father, together with the excellent care of the mother in later years.

Give reason :
Crocodile is having four-chambered heart but still it is a reptilia
Crocodile is having a four-chambered heart due to the evolution and thus, it shows resemblance with aves only in this character. It shows all other characteristic features similar to reptiles, so it is placed in the class of reptiles.
This conversation is already closed by Expert
crocodile is having all the characterstic features that reptiles have, therefore if one feature does not match it may not be diqualified from reptilia , therefore crocodiles is also comes under reptilia !
- crocodile is firstly poikilothermic ie it is cold blooded < making it easier to explain. Ask question if you need to know what poikilothermic means.>
- it has scally body
- it has many other features of a reptile
That is why it is placed under reptilia.
crocoldile is a cold-bloded animal so it is placed among reptiles.
Wait i will giv u d answer aftr 10 minz

An educational guidance from our professional can be extremely beneficial for you.
Algebra is basically a part of mathematics. It slowly emerged a vast field itself. There are multiple chapters that deal with algebra itself and almost all the streams of mathematics uses algebra directly or indirectly. This is why algebra is a very important part of maths. We find various applications of algebra in other science subjects like physics and chemistry to determine equations. In the other parts of mathematics, like calculus, trigonometry and geometry, we also find minor involvement of algebra.
As you slowly climb the ladder of classes in your school, you find the hidden demon in this once simple part of maths. During your higher studies, you will find yourself frustrated while dealing with so many variables in one single equation. It becomes even tougher to do your daily assignments in school or college.

The Cameron Park Community Services District has completed the Community Center refinance.
The 2014 bonds will be 15 years in duration, maturing in 2030 (the same year as the 2005 bonds). The new bonds have an interest rate of 3 percent; the 2005 bonds which had interest rates that ranged from 3.5 percent to 5 percent. The refinance will save the district's taxpayers approximately $900,000 over the life of the bonds. The bonds are private placement bonds with Umpqua Bank
The 2005 general obligation bonds were issued for $8.7 million. The amount has been refinanced is $7.6 million.
The all-in true interest cost — 3.12 percent — is the real cost of the bond, including ancillary fees and costs, such as finance charges, possible late fees, discount points and prepaid interest, along with factors related to the time value of money.
The CPCSD Board of Directors first heard of the refinancing proposal on May 21 from the investment banking firm of Brandis Tallman. At the meeting, the firm asked the board to approve the proposal in order to lock in the 3-percent interest rate.
However, uncomfortable making the decision on such short notice, the board put it off until the directors could study it further. In June, Rick Brandis and Nicki Tallman reviewed the proposal once again for the board and answered questions that had been brought up at the previous meeting.
The cost of refinancing the bond is $78,000, which includes bond counsel, placement agent, investor's counsel and other services.
Brandis discussed some of the benefits of a private versus a public placement, including a reduced costs of issuance; locked-in interest rate; no requirement for a credit rating, official statement or continuing disclosure during the life of the bond; streamlined financing and reduced staff time; and the burden of due diligence being on the investor rather than the district.
The board also heard from Richard Han, a managing director with the investment firm of Edward Jones. At the May meeting, Han indicated his company's interest in bidding on placing the bond. However, during June's meeting, Han said it would be a disservice to the district and the community to make a proposal since their cost for the placement would be higher and they couldn't guarantee a lower interest rate than the one offered by Brandis and Tallman in the 45 t0 60 days it would take them to put together a deal.
Director Shiva Frentzen raised the idea of hiring a third-party consultant to review the process and guide the board. However, the idea gained little traction after it was pointed out that Brandis and Tallman and the bond counsel would be providing that service as part of the cost of refinancing the bond.
The board unanimously voted to move forward and the process was completed in early July.

Letter(s) from Irin C. Michael to Dileep (India)
Letter 1
Hi Dear,
I'm happy to read your reply today and i wish we could meet together soon if God approve our relationship because i so much believe in face to face conversation... I think i love you by seeing your profile on the site that's if you don't mind, my name is Ms Irin C. Michael, i have two nationality, half Ukraine and half Liberia West Africa... I'm in Senegal West Africa to sign some project with a company before i find my way out of the country immediately, i don't wish to be here so long due to hot weather here... I may let you know about everything as we proceed on our introduction that's when you tell me more things about yourself...
I am 29years old, single, no kid yet, my parents were in to business in almost West African countries, though they all happily dead. I need a male friend with caring, to enable me continue where my parent stopped, i need to create a good family in future with a good man to show example of late parents. I'm not so much in demanding anything from man, all i need from man is pure love, I love moving from one country to other for holiday and also to understand peoples with different characters culture because I was born and brought up in Ukraine. I have also visited New York USA for holiday, I have several hobbies such as swimming, dancing, and reading, and would like someone to share that with me...
I consider myself to be a fairly honest and truthful person and expect the same in return you once you make up your mind on me... I believe you didn't see my picture on my profile but i am sending it to you here, check your attachment to see my pictures... Please, remember to tell me more things about yourself and send me your pictures for me to love you more OK, it's very important we love each other with all our mind OK... Hoping to hear from you soonest.. Yours for ever in love..Bye..
Letter 2
Hi Honey,
Thanks for your sweet reply with your picture, although you didn't say anything much about yourself. now honey, I would have love to visit your country just to spend some time with you but due to my project here in Senegal i don't know when am going to be free to leave this country, I'm only praying that the project won't take much of my time because am already tired of staying here.. Anyway, here is full details about me, like i told you on my previous message that i have two nationality Ukraine and Liberia, my mother came from Ukraine though she die in Africa together with my father in Liberia. I came back to Liberia from Ukraine to my father's land Liberia to continue my studies and i discovered that i can't make it due to bad behavior i noticed from my father's relatives. Then i find my way to here Senegal with some of my father's valuable properties but we are not going to talk about the properties now until i come over to your country.
Because this country Senegal is not good enough for me to stay, i cannot manage to stay here too in Senegal for any reason... Is like I don't have any relatives at moment, all my father's relatives didn't love me as their daughter, they only interested on my father's properties... I'm staying with one Pastor Paul with his family here in Senegal just to conclude my project and get out of the country, i can't continue paying for hotel so that i won't run out of cash... My late parents made a lot of money for me and i don't need to make any mistake on the money, that's why i must go back to my studies because i was about to start my second semester business admit before i start having problem with my father's relatives in Liberia, then i have to step down and find my way to Senegal to confirm the project with the firm to enable me know where to start...
My parents deposited some amount of money in one of leading bank here in Senegal which they used my name as the next of kin the money. The amount in question is $2.1M (Two Million One Hundred Thousand USA Dollars) and you should understand that this money is one of the problem I'm having with my father's relatives in Liberia, i don't know if they have intention to kill me so that they can take over the money... Please my dear, i don't know if you can assist me to transfer this money to your account and from the money you can send some money for me to get my traveling documents and air ticket to come over to meet with you OK.... It's an agreement my father made with the management of the bank that only my husband "or" foreign partner can able to withdraw the money on his absence, and one of my father's partner here in Senegal whom i know very well because he used to visit us in Liberia is now dead too.
Now i do not know any other foreign person or have any other foreign partner except you.. I kept this secret to people in this country and the only person that knows about it is the Pastor Paul and his wife where i stay at moment... They're like parents to me, so in the light of above i will like you to keep it to yourself and don't tell it to anyone for i am afraid of loosing my life and the money if people gets to know about it... Remember i am giving you all this information due to the kind truth i find on you after reading your message today, i believe you'll not betray me when my money enter into your bank account. I like honest and understanding people, truthful and a man of vision, truth and hard working...
I'll send you my father's statement of account document which the bank have confirmed it when i visited the bank with the Pastor Paul's wife, and they asked me to apply for claim/transfer as soon as i get a foreign partner so that they can remit all the money to your account on my behalf....Please i look forward to hear from you soon. Take care and remain in Love forever... Bye

With the impending retirement of longtime president and CEO Ken Hackett, Catholic Relief Services announced June 24 the somewhat surprising choice of Carolyn Y. Woo to head the international humanitarian agency.
Woo, who will take the helm of CRS on Jan. 1, 2012, has served as dean of the University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business since 1997. Her extensive background in business and academics gives her a much different perspective than her predecessor Hackett, whose resume included two decades in the field with CRS before his 18-year tenure as president.
Woo, however, is no stranger to CRS. She was a member of its board of directors from 2004 to 2010 and has a clear passion for the agency's work.
Our Sunday Visitor spoke with Woo about her new role and her vision for the future of CRS.
Our Sunday Visitor: What is it that attracted you to the work of Catholic Relief Services?
Carolyn Y. Woo: It is very simple: the fact that [CRS] is so very effective in attending to the most vulnerable people on earth.
OSV: Coming from such a strong background in business and academics, what do you think you bring to your new role with CRS?
Age: 57
Born: Hong Kong
Education: Taught by Maryknoll Sisters of Ossining in her native country; college and postgraduate work at Purdue University
Professional experience: Associate executive vice president for academic affairs at Purdue University, dean of the Mendoza College of Business at Notre Dame
Areas of expertise: entrepreneurship, strategic planning, management of innovation and technology, implementation structures and systems
CRS connection: Served for six years as one of the first lay members of the CRS board of directors, during which time she made several overseas trips to see the agency's work firsthand in places such as Indonesia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Ethiopia and Kenya.
Woo: I think it is very clear that I am not an international humanitarian relief expert. In fact, the organization has a deep and broad bench of very talented and very experienced people who are extraordinary in dealing with international relief. So what I bring, I would describe in two ways.
First, I would say this is an organization which is very busy in responding to needs. Everybody is "heads down," working very hard. And I think the role that I play is being "heads up." It is to look at the next five to 10 years and what are the major changes in the environment and what are the expectations of our benefactors. What type of work do we need to do more of or less of? What type of core competence do we need to develop? How do we structure the organization and the relationships so that we could be even more effective in dealing with more complex work?
The organization is very busy doing the daily work, and someone needs to step back and look at how we can be even better prepared for the continuous changes in the environment. So it is a "heads up, heads down" [approach].
Another way I would characterize it is that our people are very busy taking care of the needs of the people [we serve], so it would be my role to take care of the organization.
OSV: What do you see as being some of the challenges on the horizon for CRS in the countries it serves, and how do you hope to be able to address them?
Woo: Some of the major challenges will include changes in the donor environment. The U.S. government is a major benefactor, so we must deal with the various economic issues and also all the political divisions within the U.S. government, and we need to be prepared for that.
Another division of the funding environment is changes in the type of donors we have, a shift in the emphasis of where resources will be coming from.
On the "doing" side, we are now moving into much more complex and integrated work. We've gone from just doing relief work to doing a lot of rebuilding work, rebuilding the capacity of the society for economic independence, for a civil society, for education.
So, the second major change is that the nature of our work is much more complicated, it is much more comprehensive, so we need to take a look at what type of capabilities we need to cultivate in order to do more of that work.
The countries we are working in are in Africa and Latin America; they themselves are going through a lot of changes: economically, politically, in terms of their social demographics. So we need to be prepared for that, too.
So, while we are busy today doing good work, we need to be thinking of how we can build up the right organization with the right capabilities to address tomorrow's challenges.
OSV: Do you anticipate changes in CRS's role in the U.S., in terms of raising your profile and educating people about the work you're doing?
Woo: The objective is not so much to raise our profile so that we will be well known, the more important thing is that CRS is the arm of the U.S. Church in living out the mission that Christ left us, and that is to love our brothers and sisters.
And so our work is to translate that particular teaching to tangible actions, and while we're at it, effective outcomes for the people we serve. So the work of CRS needs to be known because it provides a witness that we are doing the work of God.
This is not an empty call from Christ for us just to ponder in our minds, it calls for a very active response on our part, to use our gifts, our talents, our creativity, our education, our intelligence, our sense of friendship and community to actually formulate effective actions and outcomes.
It is a very important teaching tool for Catholics in the Church, because I think once people see this, they will be inspired and they want to be a part of the work. So how we engage the U.S. Catholics to be part of this work is extremely important, and it is a great opportunity.
OSV: It sounds like you are focused on promoting the Catholic identity of CRS. Will that be a key factor in your work going forward?
Woo: Absolutely. We are the Catholic Relief Services, and I applaud the fact that we are often in countries that are not Catholic. We serve those countries not because they are Catholic, but because we are Catholic. And we draw on funding agencies that are not explicitly Catholic. We're glad about that, too, because we need partners of all kinds to participate in these works of mercy and these works of friendship.
But in the end, the deep foundation and the fountain from which we draw our own inspiration to do this work is Christ's teaching that "I am the vine, you are the branches." These branches need to be connected to the vine, and that's our mission.

Super Bowl XLII was one for the ages. The New York Giants shocked the world and the New England Patriots by winning the game 17-14 on a last minute drive by Eli Manning. Eli sealed the game with a touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress with under a minute to play. The Giants were huge underdogs but never seemed fazed by the 18-0 Patriots. Eli Manning won the Super Bowl MVP one year after his brother Peyton won the same honor.
This year's Haltime Show was quite a treat as Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers performed a great set of hits such as Free Fallin, Running Down a Dream and American Girl. Tom Petty tickets are set to go onsale on Monday 2/4 for several dates throughout North America for 2008. Among the shows onsale will be their 6/13 show at Boston's TD Banknorth Garden.

Marlins vs. Diamondbacks - 5/5/16 MLB Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Arizona Diamondbacks (12-17) at Miami Marlins (14-12)
MLB Baseball: Thursday, May 5, 2016 at 7:10 pm (Marlins Park)
Robbie Ray (1-1) (4.62) vs. Adam Conley (1-1) (3.67)
The Line: Miami Marlins -123 / Arizona Diamondbacks +113 --- Over/Under: 8 See the Latest Odds
The Miami Marlins looks to sweep the Arizona Diamondbacks Thursday night at Marlins Park.
The Arizona Diamondbacks could use a win after losing seven of their last eight games. The Diamondbacks have allowed 17 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in nine of their last 10 games. The Arizona Diamondbacks have an ERA of 5.03 and have lost seven straight when allowing three or less runs. Offensively, Jean Segura leads Arizona with 38 hits, Yasmany Tomas has 13 RBI and Brandon Drury has five home runs. Robbie Ray gets the nod, and he's 1-1 with a 4.97 ERA and 27 strikeouts this season. This will be Ray's second career game against the Marlins.
USA TODAY Sports
The Miami Marlins look to stay red hot after winning nine of their last 10 games. The Marlins have scored 16 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in eight of their last 10 games. The Miami Marlins are an impressive 11-4 this season when scoring more than three runs. Martin Prado leads Miami with 33 hits, Giancarlo Stanton has 22 RBI and Marcell Ozuna has five home runs. Adam Conley takes the hill, and he's 1-1 with a 3.67 ERA and 28 strikeouts this season. This will be Conley's first career game against the Diamondbacks.
The Diamondbacks are 2-6 in their last 8 during game 3 of a series and 2-6 in Rays last 8 road starts. The Marlins are 2-6 in their last 8 during game 3 of a series and 11-5 in Conleys last 16 starts. The Diamondbacks are 4-2 in the last 6 meetings in Miami.
The Marlins may be the hottest team in baseball right now not named the Cubs. The fish are hitting the ball well and getting solid performances from their pitching staff. Also, Conley is coming off a performance in which he didn't allow a hit in seven innings. I like Miami to complete the sweep here against a struggling Arizona team.
