US economy is going strong according to FEDS.
It is doing so well that people can't buy homes.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. homeownership fell to a 20-year low in the fourth quarter as more Americans opted to rent rather than buy a house, government data showed on Thursday.
The seasonally adjusted home ownership rate slipped to 63.9 percent, the lowest since the third quarter of 1994, the Commerce Department said. The rate, which peaked at 69.4 percent in 2004, was 64.3 percent in the third quarter.
The residential rental vacancy rate dropped four-tenths of a percentage point to 7.0 percent in the fourth quarter.

Compare to other majr miners, AUY has been in the dog house- barely over the 50 day MA.\BUT AUY with $250M newly minted cash is ready to increase teir production while energy price is dirt cheap.
Marrone (Mr. Kill Hope) does owe everryone an honest answer what is THE REAL REASON and VISION for the $250M equity raised at such untimely moment while the stock is in the dumps ???

The U.S. central bank's stance stands in sharp contrast to many of its peers in developed countries, which have recently eased monetary policy to boost their struggling economies. The policy divergence has helped push the U.S. dollar to multi-year highs.
"You would have thought that if you were going to really postpone (a rate hike) to 2016 there would have been some more emphasis on international events and the dollar," said John Silva, an economist at Wells Fargo in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Last year, gold was the second-strongest currency in the world, trailing only the U.S. dollar. It's amazing how well it held up under the pressure of the greenback. Not just investors but also central banks recognize this.
"If the dollar or any other Fiat S.p.A. (ADR) (OTCMKTS:FIATY) (BIT:F) currency were universally acceptable at all times," Greenspan said, "central banks would see no need to hold any gold. The fact that they do indicates that such currencies are not a universal substitute."
Indeed, we're seeing central banks all around the world shoring up their own gold reserves by repatriating bullion from foreign institutions.
December saw the biggest monthly outflow of gold from the New York Fed SINCE 2001, bringing its holdings to their LOWEST LEVEL THIS C E N T U R Y.

"The Fed is expected to reiterate that those global risks have not yet put the U.S. recovery or the Fed's rate plans off track when it issues its policy statement at the close of its two-day meeting on Wednesday.
The timing of the Fed's eventual rate move has been a top concern for investors. Stocks rallied when the Fed said after its December meeting that it would take a patient approach toward raising interest rates and gave an upbeat assessment of the U.S. economy.
The sharp decline in oil prices that began last June and worries about deflation could keep the Fed on hold for longer, analysts said.
"It bodes well for the Fed to be patient," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital in New York. "There's no inflation here; the problem is deflation. If oil prices were to go lower, that could create more of a problem."
Threat of Greek (PIGS are watching ) default
Dimishing petro$$ in 2015 (collapsing oil price + rising RMB trades =)
No country is an island when every economy is contracting and defalting, US$ will weaken in this environment.
No pumping can sustain the hype.
Gold should rise--- even Goldman Sachs just guided gold to $1268/oz (from $800/oz which they stated late last year.)
They are desparate to hammer gold price (that means they are buying on the other side of the trade just like the mortgage backed securities in 2008)
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Agree with your take on low cost producer, I suspect the AIC should be way under $800, hence Marrone raised $250M to dig as much gold as he can, ASAP.
Even if they try to manipulate gold towards $1,000, AUY will have a very nice net margin + profit.
I bot some at the last minutes as well, can't resist.
Good luck + prosper.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Takeover deals rarely happen while the stock is being thrashed.
AUY has to clear out some debts and increase production and cash flow before other CEO willing to put out their bids.... like buying a fixer upper with major problems resolved, so naturally price of the stock will risae as well, as risks and problems are removed.
I am obviously not good at market timing, but suspect lots of people got wiped out on their calls last few days, weeks, months.
The only safe calls are in the money calls , out at least 2 or 3 months.
Looks like $4.07might be a short term bottom.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I have been buyers on dips since October, never sold shares last few months.
Acceptable takeover value minimum Book Value + premium of 1/3.... close to $10
Looks like we have to ramp up towards $7+ area AFTER some major favorable events such as earning and guidance very positive and/or likely disposition / spin off of Brio Mining.
Don't know how likely will AUY reach sub $4, as Greece election / default progression next week, but I am deciding what to sell and load up more AUY next week.
Today's option expiration is killing a few calls and puts, so not much will likely happen in the remaining hour.

Remember this is in the works to sell assets and pay down debts as well, sweeten the books for the would be buyer.
TORONTO, Dec 10 (Reuters) - Yamana Gold Inc said on Wednesday it will place some of its Brazilian assets that have been deemed as non-core into a subsidiary dubbed Brio Gold and that it will explore a potential sale along with other options for the unit in 2015.
The Canadian gold miner said it has retained National Bank Financial and CIBC World Markets as financial advisors to assist in the process of evaluating strategic alternatives with respect to Brio Gold.
The assets being parceled off into Brio Gold include Fazenda Brasileiro, C1 Santa Luz and Pilar, and its Agua Rica project.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
They all know each other real well- all Canadians.
Marrone get paid almost $5M/year
The other 2 CEOs get about $3.5M/year running much larger goldmining operations.
The $250M recent equity buy-in is providing a support for the stock price over $4.
It doesn't get much better than 0.5X book value with a healthy pipeline and lots of cash ready for increase production while energy price in the dumps.
We will soon see how this low hanging fruit gonna mushroom BIG.... organic growth or take outby likes of ABX or GG. Marrone knows who is he talking to.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
First you have contracting and deflating economies in places like Japan, US, Europe then China.
Then you try to inflate it and prop it up with QE and rate cuts.
If that doesn't work you keep deflating your currency by QE more.
Now we are witnessing commodity pricing collapse as in oil, gas and likely raw materials.
Art Cashin says eventually when people get hurt and desparate enough, they will have real wars.
I think we are seeing that in Middle East and Russia, those wars are likely escalating.
When you force people into a corner, they will do desparate things.
In most of the countries I mentioned above, they all have rising aging populations, diminishing income and jobs, so the likelihood of rising income and tax bases to turn the economy up is a tough bet for the foreseeable decade or two.
Gold might be a good play of currency flood, devaluation, and instability, and rising conflicts and wars.
Especially someday when China decided it doesn't want to take dictations and threats from USA.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
They didn't have any other choice to combat contracting economy, greek default while others like Spain, Portugal, Italy are watching and contemplating similar course.
So they spin it as a good thing.
Essentially what QEs do is kicking the can down the road hoping for a reversal of demand and economic rejuvenation. Look at US QE, it keeps the economy from falling further, but the money doesn't flow down to the Main streets from the Banks because the Banks will only turn the spigot up IF they are convinced the economy is in full sprint and they will profit in a HUGE WAY with low risks.
After Greek election AUY should turn to the upside- just a gut feeling.

WASHINGTON – Congress is supposed to pass 12 spending bills — everything from highways to education — every year by Oct. 1, iron out the differences between the bills, then send them on to the president.
But since 1994, Congress has been unable to pass all of its spending bills individually on time by Oct. 1. Instead, it has had to either pass patchwork bills or extensions of prior spending bills in order to keep the government operating. In the case of last fall, even that didn't happen. The government shut down for almost three weeks.
"If Congress does nothing in the course of a year, they must appropriate money to enact the federal budget," said Kenneth Gold of the Government Affairs Institute at Georgetown University. "That's their most basic function, and they are finding it increasingly difficult to fulfill that."
"They can't get tax reform done, they can't get immigration reform done, but this is actually the one thing they know every year that they're going to have to do," said Steve Ellis of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a taxpayer watchdog. "And so it's inexcusable they don't get it done."
Critics say the breakdown in the spending process reflects the larger dysfunction in the House. Where once lawmakers were bound to their districts and regional priorities, they're now increasingly bound to their parties, including the most extreme factions of those parties.
Political spin, not work
What's replaced collaboration is a political message machine, light on legislation. The 2011-2012 House passed the fewest number of bills in at least 60 years.
"I now consider the House to be a fact-free zone," said Thomas Mann of the Brookings Institution, co-author of "It's Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism."
"All you get is political spin, and it's just very sad for a great legislative body," he said.
Instead of passing its individual spending bills on time, Congress each year since 1994 has kept the government operating either through a bulk bill that includes money for a variety of programs or through a continuing resolution — an extension of the prior year's spending bills. It's known as a CR on Capitol Hill.
"I've always thought of a CR as kind of the white flag of surrender. When all you could do is pass a CR, you're just saying, 'We can't do our job anymore,' " said Steve Bell, a former congressional staffer who now works at the Bipartisan Policy Center.
Passing an extension of last year's spending has become an increasingly common practice. In fiscal 2012, for example, Congress passed five separate continuing resolutions. In fiscal 2011, it passed eight.
By doing so, critics say, Congress is essentially ceding its authority to determine how federal dollars are spent. Instead of serving as a steward of taxpayer dollars, members of Congress have essentially thrown up their hands, slashed dollars indiscriminately or just relied on older spending measures — the equivalent of submitting the same term paper time after time.
Fewer bills are passed
Comparing numbers of bills passed is tricky because no two bills are alike and a single omnibus bill can include several pieces of legislation. But the number of bills passed in both chambers is historically low. In the 2011-2012 Congress, the House passed 561 bills and the Senate 364. Fifty years earlier, both chambers passed nearly 2,000 bills.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, likes to say that the Senate won't pass anything. But even some Republicans point fingers at the House and say the number of bills approved is more about politics than policy, such as the repeated votes on repealing Obamacare.
"The House passes a lot of stuff, but a lot of the stuff they're passing is messaging legislation," said Steve LaTourette, a Republican from Ohio who retired in 2012 because of his frustration with congressional paralysis. Much of what they pass, he said, "is not a serious legislative effort."

in state and local TB programs. Of the respondents, 64 percent reported problems with MDR TB drug procurement in the preceding 5 years.21
Cegielski reported that the most common reasons for the shortages were nationwide shortages (95 percent), lack of funding and drug price (62 percent), shipping delays (71 percent), regulatory delays (50 percent), and payer issues (~30 percent). The number of shortages22 increased from 70 to 211 between 2006 and 2010, and as of September 2011, kanamycin was not available, streptomycin was out of stock, and capreomycin and amikacin were very difficult to procure. The shortages had direct negative effects on patients, according to the same survey, including delays in treatment initiation (58 percent), treatment lapses and interruptions (32 percent), and the need to be prescribed a suboptimal treatment regimen (26 percent). Cegielski stressed that dealing with these shortages depletes the time and human resources of clinic management.
Key Messagesa
• National regulation of SLDs is essential, as there is no international mechanism to monitor for and ensure QA.
• The SLD supply chain is characterized by a negative cycle arising from the limited number of suppliers of API and FPP coupled with decreased demand for QA SLDs from certain areas.
• There is a need for better demand forecasting, and there is a need to distinguish between aspirational forecasting and realistic forecasting.
• Innovations in information management may offer improvements across many aspects of the SLD supply chain, from tracking of treatment to demand forecasting to reduction of stock-outs.
a Identified by individual speakers.
21 Cegielski cautioned that only 33 of 61 reporting areas responded, so the results might not be generalizable.
22 Including isoniazid, rifampicin, cycloserine, ethambutol, rifabutin, amikacin, kanamycin, and streptomycin.

CFO, Ford Motor Co.No Chapter 11 -- but lots of debt: Unlike its crosstown rivals, Ford avoided a trip to U.S. Bankruptcy Court in 2009. The company did so by pre-emptively borrowing $23 billion against its assets. Ford didn't expect to make a profit until 2011 but beat that target when it earned $2.1 billion in the first quarter of 2010. "It would be unwise to think of $2 billion as a running rate," Booth cautioned in late April, citing the cost of launching new products. Beyond the product offensive, Booth, 61, knows the company faces another challenge: whittling down debt that totals $27 billion even after Ford trimmed that by more than $7 billion in the second quarter. Ford's competitors, which shed debt while in Chapter 11, don't carry that burden.

US 3408461 A Abstract available in Claims available in Description (OCR text may contain errors) Oct. 29, 1968 B. G. LANGFORD HEARING AID Filed May 28, 1965 United States Patent O 3,408,461 HEARING AID Byron G. Langford, Phoenix, Ariz., assignor to Royal Industries, Inc., Pasadena, Calif., a corporation of California Filed May 28, 1965, Ser. No. 459,786 4 Claims. (Cl. 179-107) ABSTRACT F THE DISCLOSURE A sound coupling device for an ear mold of an electrical hearing aid, the device including a removable housing which carries an acoustic attenuator. The housing and attenuatorare readily removable as a unit for cleaning. A passage is provided to vent the ear canal of the user to outside air to avoid annoying pressure buildup within the ear. This invention relates to a hearing aid and more particularly an improved ear mold comprising an integrated hearing aid. Many different types of hearing aids are available to assist persons having hearing deliciencies. Such hearing aids typical-ly incorporate a microphone for converting sound waves to an electrical signal, an electronic amplifier for amplifying the signal, and a transducer for converting the amplied electrical signal into amplied sound waves which are directed through a passageway to the ear drum. Miniaturization of electronic components and batteries has made possible the production of integrated hearing aids having all component parts incorporated in a single ear mold assembly worn in the ear. Integrated hearing aids are desirable because they are lightweight and convenient to use, and because they have the cosmetic advantage of being nconspicuous. Because electronic components and batteries are disposed within the ear mold of an integrated hearings aid, the ear mold cannot be immersed in liquid for cleaning and removal of accumulated cerumen (ear wax) or other matter. Instead, the user must attempt to clean the ear mold with a pointed or probe-like instrument. Unfortunately, this often results in cerumen or other matter being pushed into the ear-mold passageway leading to the transducer. Even partial blockage of the passageway is undesirable as it can markedly alter the amplilication and frequencyresponse characteristics of the hearing aid. Furthermore, attempts to clean the passageway may result in damage to the transducer. Another problem encountered with conventional hearing aids is the buildup of a differential pressure between the outer atmosphere and the ear-canal region between the tightly fitted hearing aid and the ear drum. This pressure is a source of annoyance and possible discomfort to the user of the hearing aid. In the past, it has been necessary to provide a vent from the ear canal to the outside atmosphere by drilling a hole through the passageway which conducts sound waves from the transducer to the ear drum. This is a painstaking and expensive operation due to the limited space available and the many shape variations in custom-fitted ear molds. A third problem with existing hearing aids is the lack of an inexpensive and standardized mounting for an acoustic attenuator between the transducer and the ear drum. Such attenuators are useful to control the frequency response of the hearing aid, and to avoid overdriving the ear drum as a result of louder-than-normal sounds. The integrated ear mold hearing aid of the present invention includes a sound coupling device that overcomes all of these difficulties in a simple assembly which is 3,408,461 Patented Oct. 29, 1968 ice mounted in the portion of the hearing-aid ear mold which extends into the ear canal of the user. Provision is made for mounting the acoustic attenuator in a housing which is readily removed from the ear mold for cleaning. Cerumen and other matter is kept from entering the ear mold, accumulating instead on the removable housing where it can be easily removed. Means are provided to vent the ear canal to the outside atmosphere in a simple, inexpensive manner. Briefly stated, the sound coupling device comprises a hollow shell having an open end and a closed end. The shell is secured to an ear mold of a hearing aid whereby the open end of the shell faces the inner ear and the closed end is sealed Within the ear mold. The closed end of the shell is provided with an opening which is in communication with a sound transducer disposed within the ear mold. A housing mounting an acoustic attenuator is releasably secured across the open end of the shell. In a preferred form, the closed end of the shell is provided with a second opening whereby the interior of the shell is vented to the ear mold interior. The attenuator may be provided with a screen secured to the housing, whereby the screen, housing and acoustic attenuator can be removed as a unit for cleaning. The invention will be further described with reference to the attached drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a View, partly broken away, of a hearing-aid ear mold mounted in an ear illustrating the hearing-aid electronics in dotted outline and incorporating the sound coupling device; FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross sectional View of the detached sound coupling device of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is an end view of the detached sound coupling device, showing the end which faces the ear drum; and FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the detached sound coupling device, taken on line 4 4 of F IG. 3. Referring to FIG. l, the sound coupling device of this invention is shown as mounted in an integrated hearing aid 10 in which all hearing-aid components are mounted in a conventional ear mold 12. The ear mold is typically custom formed to assure a close, comfortable lit in the Wearers outer ear and ear canal. Disposed within the ear mold are a microphone 14, electronic amplier 15, battery 16 and sound transducer 17. These interconnected components may be of the conventional type and, for brevity, will not be described in detail. A hollow extended portion 20 of the ear mold is tightly fitted into the outer part of an ear canal 21. A sound coupling device 23 is sealed Within the end of the hollow extended portion to be interposed between sound transducer 17 and the wearers ear drum (not shown). A tube 25 connects the sound transducer to the sound coupling device. Referring to FIGS. 2 through 4, the sound coupling device includes a hollow shell 27 having an open end and a closed end. The closed end includes an opening 28 formed by a tubular extension 29 for interconnection with tube 2S. A housing 31 having an outwardly extending annular ange 32 is disposed within the shell, the ange abutting the open end of the shell. A screen 34 is secured to the flange, and a washer-like ring 36 is secured to the yscreen to lock it to the housing 31. A central opening in ring 36 is preferably of approximately the same diameter as the inside diameter of the housing. The screen is preferably constructed of stainlesssteel wire. A satisfactory screen may be woven from approximately 0.0045-inch-diameter wire, the wire being spaced to produce substantially square openings of approximately 0.0055-inch side length. The ange, screen and ring may be bonded together by cementing, soldering, or any other convenient means. The housing is removably secured within the shell by a male detent 38 in the shell and a female detent 39 in the housing, or by any other conventional means such as threads. If the housing and shell are threaded together, the ange can be slotted to engage a screwdriver for ease of removal. The shell, housing, and ring may be constructed from metal or plastic. In a preferred form of the invention, these components are machined from Type 430F stainless steel. An acoustic attenuator 41 is disposed within the housing between screen 34 and the closed end of shell 27. Acoustic attenuators, suitable for use in the sound coupling device are commercially available, and .may be obtained from Sintered Specialities Division, Panoramic Corp., 1405 Riverside St., Janesville, Wis. Models A- 308 through A-315 available from this manufacturer have, among others, proved suitable for use in the sound coupling device. Shell 27 is permanently cemented in hollow extended portion 20 of the ear mold as shown in FIG. 1. The shell is allowed to project slightly from the end of the ear mold to form a recess 43 between the ear mold and ange 32 of the housing. When the ear mold is removed for cleaning, the housing, attenuator, screen and ring are easily withdrawn as a unit from the shell, the recess providing a convenient grip. Any accumulations of cerumen or other matter within the ear canal are kept from entering the ear mold by the sound coupling device. These accumulations are easily removed by withdrawing the shell, attenuator, screen and ring assembly from the shell and submerging them in a cleaning solution. In a preferred form of the invention, a second opening 45 is provided in the closed end of the shell. This opening serves to vent the sealed region of the ear canal to the outside atmosphere to compensate for changes in arnbient atmospheric pressure. In this form, the sound coupling device is used with a ventilated ear mold which has at least one opening from its outer surface to the hollow interior of the ear mold. Such openings are typically present around microphone 14 or, for example, around a hearing-aid volume control (not shown). The venting path is from the ear canal through screen 34, the porous acoustic attenuator, and opening 45, to the ventilated interior of the ear mold. There has been described an improved integrated ear mold hearing aid including a sound coupling device which provides a mounting for an acoustic attenuator, an atmospheric vent for the ear canal, and a barrier to keep cerumen and other material from entering the interior of the ear mold. It is to be understood that the use of the sound coupling device is not restricted to integrated hearing aids in which all component parts of the hearing aid are located within the ear mold. For example, the invention also has utility in hearing aids having only the sound transducer mounted in the ear mold, the amplifier, battery, and microphone being located elsewhere on the wearers person. I claim: 1. In a hearing aid having an ear mold which houses a sound transducer for converting electrical signals into audible sounds, the ear mold having a hollow extended portion shaped to Iit sealingly within an ear canal, the extended portion having an open end spaced from the transducer and facing an ear drum of a user; an improved sound coupling device for transmitting sounds from the transducer into the ear canal, the device comprising: a hollow housing releasably secured at the open end of the extended portion; an acoustic attenuator disposed in the housing whereby the housing and attenuator can be removed from the extended portion as a unit for cleaning; and means coupled to the housing and to the sound transducer for transmitting sounds from the transducer to the attenuator. 2. The sound coupling device defined in claim 1 in whish said means comprises a hollow shell secured within the extended portion adjacent the open end thereof, the shell being shaped to receive the hollow housing in releasable engagement, the shell having an outer end facing away from the ear drum, and a tubing connected to the outer end of the shell and to the transducer to form a passageway for communicating sounds from the transducer to the interior of the shell. 3. The sound coupling device defined in claim 2 in which the housing has a flanged inner end facing the ear -drum and extending from the housing adjacent the open end of the extended portion, and further comprising a screen secured across the flanged inner end and extending over the acoustic attenuator. 4. The sound coupling device dened in claim 3 in which the ear mold is of the ventilated type having a passage permitting outside air to ow into the interior thereof, and in which the outer end of the shell has an opening communicating the interior of the ear mold and the acoustic attenuator.

Hey everyone! I'm new to this group and still new to the whole parenting a preemie and well being a parent in general! I developed severe preecplampsia and was hospitalized 2 days before Christmas and ended up having to deliver on Christmas day. Brooke will be a month old tomorrow and it is still so hard to believe and wrap my mind around it all. She's doing fantastic and her daddy and I couldn't be happier about the whole situation. We were told she may not cry when she was born because of lung immaturity and because of the medicine I was on for my blood pressure might make her lethagic but she came out screaming and I was even able to see her for a minute before they whisked her away to the NICU. On December 26th they had to put her on a ventilator, she was only on that for 2 days and then 2 days after that she was able to loose her nasal cannula. Fast forward 4 weeks and she is still having no issues breathing on her own, is gaining weight really well and is up to 3lbs 14oz which is over a pound gained since birth (she was 2lbs 9oz when born). She is struggling with the bottle which is pretty much the only thing keeping her in the isolette. She is taking a bottle twice a day which her other feedings being given by her feeding tube in her nose. I am so ready to have her home but am not rushing her at all. I have to return to work soon which I'm not looking forward to at all. Luckily they are great and I will be taking more time off when Brooke comes home. In some ways these last 4 weeks have flown by but other times I feel like our time dealing with the NICU is never going to end. She has received the best care and all the nurses have been absolutely amazing but I am so ready to not have to make these daily trips to the hospital.

Handmade with love!!
My son was a 31-weeker due to severe pre-e as well. He was born 9/16 and came home 66 days later on 11/21 (one of the happiest days of my life!). The NICU stay is hard and seems unending, but hang in there - the day will come! For us at least, we couldn't believe it was real until it happened. I went back to work for 7 weeks while LO was in the NICU and then was able to take 9 weeks off when he came home. I just went back this week. Working while he was in the NICU made my schedule crazy, but it was so worth it to have the time with him at home.
Mama to Ezra (9/16/12) - 31 weeker
And Baby #2 due 3/21/15
Fast forward almost a year now, the twins' first birthday is coming up on the 2 of February and they are now weighing 25lbs and 23lbs. Height/length is 31 inches and 30.5 inches. They are doing amazing! I remember being told that they most likely would be behind in their development, they aren't. At all. My younger twin started walking(unassisted) at 10 months(8 corrected) and my older guy started at 11 months(9 corrected).
Preemies are amazing, I am SO proud and SO blessed to have 2 of them!!!
Good luck with everything!!!

"ONE mouth, six pockets", is how the Chinese describe a typical family on the mainland today: a single, precious offspring doted on by its parents and two sets of grandparents. Soon, however, it will be more like six mouths to feed and one pocket to pick up the bill. The success of Beijing's one child policy and the fact that more of China's increasingly well-off are choosing not to have children at all, are combining to produce one of the most rapidly ageing societies ever. This will affect not only the current generation of "little emperors" but the pace of overall economic growth and the fortunes of everyone trying to sell into China's domestic market.
Currently, firms selling to the Chinese mostly focus on the country's youth. This is still a huge market and, unlike their elders, China's young like to try new things and are happier to indulge themselves, more brand-conscious and more receptive to foreign ideas. A survey of 1,200 students in Shanghai and Beijing, by a public relations firm, Hill & Knowlton, found that all of their favourite brands were foreign, led by Nike, Sony, Adidas and BMW.
Old China
Projections by Asian Demographics, a research organisation, show China's total population, which hit 1.3 billion in January, inching up to 1.31 billion in 2019 and declining rapidly thereafter. The number of people aged under 40 may already have peaked at 800m and is forecast to decline by one-third, or 250m, over the next 20 years. By contrast, those aged over 40 will grow by 270m, or more than half, over the same period (with those aged 60 and older growing the fastest). By 2024, they will make up 58% of the population, up from 38% today. By then a full three-quarters of Chinese households may be childless.
As a result, Asian Demographics forecasts average annual increases in GDP of only 4.8% over the next ten years, and of below 4% thereafter. Yet foreign corporations are currently pouring $60 billion of investment a year into China on the basis of 7-8% annual economic growth during the coming decades. If demography really is destiny for China's economy, those investments could prove disappointing.
For those targeting domestic consumers, the rethink should be even more radical as demand for sports shoes, edgy fashions and electronic gadgets may start to decline in relative and, eventually, absolute terms. Increasingly, it will be the "empty nesters" aged 40-60, whose children have left home and who, unlike their parents, have escaped low-paying state jobs, that have the most purchasing power. Many have made money in China's emerging capitalist economy and are status-conscious and keen to enjoy their wealth. Already, they are starting to spend more on travel, eating out and financial services. Mobile phone and car companies have cottoned on, with ads appealing to the self-made. So have some packaged goods companies. Vivian Zhang, consumer products marketing director for L'Oreal China, says that new launches from its Mini Nurse skincare range are being aimed at 20-30-year-old women, rather than its erstwhile target market of 15-20-year-olds, "because young people in China are so price sensitive".
But most marketeers are not factoring China's ageing into their long-term plans, says Clint Laurent of Asian Demographics, who calls the trend "a demographic earthquake", while for others "the lightbulb is only just going on." Tom Doctoroff of J Walter Thompson, an ad agency, says that while the ageing of China is well-known in principle, "none of my clients is talking about it yet." One marketeer at Kraft in Beijing is concerned that the issue is being ignored: "there is a huge and dramatic change in the demographics in China. We need to take action." Horatio Zhu, a marketing executive at P&G China, says that the company is increasingly considering the greying issue: "China's ageing population will be a significant market."
Older Chinese are now starting to spend on pharmaceuticals and health care. Alan Taylor, Asia president for Pfizer, says that China is rising up the agenda of big drug firms; sales of Pfizer's cholesterol-lowering and anti-hypertension medicines are growing rapidly there. Victor Chu, chairman of First Eastern Investment, plans to launch a wellness magazine on the mainland and says that with fewer younger family members to support them, older people may become more self-reliant, creating markets for senior education, leisure clubs and nursing homes.
But today's mature Chinese consumers are not an easy sell. Ageing empty-nesters of tomorrow may have more money, but they are also likely to be careful with it. Expensive cars, furnishings and watches, which signify status and success yet also serve a practical purpose, now tend to sell better than luxury that is merely for display. The current over-60s, who suffered through war and the Cultural Revolution, tend to be the most abstemious of all, with little desire for consumer goods. Mr Doctoroff talks of the "battle weary" who see slogans and ads as an evil. Nor do older Chinese like indulging themselves. The "selflessness of older people is a real marketing challenge," says Edward Bell of Ogilvy & Mather, an ad agency.
One way to interest the old is to play on financial insecurity, as many insurers are now doing, or on general worries about safety—P&G's Safeguard soap has earned a 20-25% market share by promising to shield a mother's family from germs. Adverts that suggest a benefit for the family seem to work, such as that drinking bottled water while doing tai-chi in the park makes you a more energetic grandmother. But, for old and young consumers alike, it is essential to avoid anything that slights the Communist Party, the past or China, as Nike discovered recently when an outcry forced it to pull an ad in which a black basketball player defeated (computer-generated) dragons—a national symbol.
But the best way to reach China's older generation, as most local companies and, increasingly, many foreign ones are starting to realise, may be indirectly, by appealing to the Confucian values of respect for family elders. Nestlé is selling fortified milk powders through adverts that encourage grown-up children to look after the health of their parents. A popular TV spot for Guibiewan, a food supplement, shows a boy eating breakfast watched by his doting father. "When I was young, everyday was like my birthday, but it seems 'baba' never had a special day," the voiceover intones. "Every father remembers his son's birthday. But how many sons know their father's? Express your respect with Guibiewan." Indeed, tapping the older market through the young would surely be an unbeatable strategy, but for the fact that in the China of the future there will be fewer and fewer of them.

I applied in-person. The process took 5 weeks – interviewed at FedEx.
Interview DetailsThe interview process was very easy. I have had a lot of jobs and by far this was the easiest interview ever because all they asked was basic questions. For example, can you perform the job duties, do you have reliable transportation, are you ok with the shift you are scheduled, and so on just real basic yes or no questions. The they run your background but it takes about a month for them to call you back to give you the job offer.

Interview DetailsSigned up for sort tour online on Wed. Got a call to confirm on Thurs. Did tour on Fri. Received email after tour for application. Submitted app and received phone interview at 11:30am same day as my tour. Immediately after phone interview, received and submitted email for the background check. I have the job pending the background check results, which can take 3 or 4 days. Was told if my background check is satisfactory, they'll call me to arrange my orientation. They don't want employees going "postal" at the sort center, sending/receiving shipments of drugs, or employees who steal packages, so the background check is mostly looking for violent crimes, theft, and drug convictions.

Comments about Rick's Motorsport Electric Rectifier/Regulator:
I have fitted the Rick's RR and the Stator at the same time in my triumph Tiger, during the first trip after 6hr riding the RR/stator connectors were completely burned, I recommend to remove the connectors and connect the wires directly, welding and covering it with thermofit

Works great!
By Paul
from Portland, OR
Plug and go! 1996 Seca II, 3 Minute job, So far so good! My previous regulator went bad, and after two batteries I figured out my old one was putting out 18.5 - 19.5 volts and killing my battery, Overheating it and causing the acid to boil over. Great price vs OEM and seems to work great, fit perfectly with the mounting holes and clip. Thanks bike Bandit for another save!

Tasting 350 beers at 70 breweries over a three day weekend....what a sacrifice.Â
@Lindsey Kardashium It's not the beer or breweries fault. They should not be condemned. The people who use the product irresponsibly are the ones at fault. Besides how do you know the truck driver drank beer? Maybe he drank hard alcohol or wine.

In December of 2009 a group of men and women met to discuss the benefits of Manitoba hunters becoming involved in an international organization focused on the rights of hunters and conservation at a worldwide level. This was the motivation to start the Manitoba Chapter of Safari Club International (SCI).
John Fidler
John has been involved in hunting and fishing all his life. He started at an early age, and after passing the hunter safety course in Manitoba in 1976, started a journey that he continues to this day. Since then, he has hunted every year in Manitoba, as well as hunting in most of the Canadian provinces. He started hunting big game internationally in 1983, with a Brown Bear and Caribou hunt on the Alaskan Peninsula, and has over 40 hunts in other states (11) and provinces (4). He has also hunted numerous times in Africa, Australia, New Zealand and South America, and currently has trips planned to BC, Africa, Spain, Mongolia and Azerbiajan.
His goal is to get his Grand Slam, and he has a good start, as he drew the only non-resident tag out of 479 applicants for a Desert Bighorn, the toughest draw in North American hunting, connecting with a nice ram after hunting for over 20 days in the toughest unit, losing over 28 pounds in the process. He is also trying to complete his NA 29, as well as hunting and exploring in other parts of the world.
John has been a member of SCI for since the eighties, and holds life member ship #5578. He strongly believes that conservation of the worlds wildlife will be achieved through the utilization of the renewal resource, with sport hunting as one of the best methods of do this and securing a place for wildife for future generations. SCI is the world leader in the conservation of wildlife and protection of the hunters through-out the world. He is proud to be a member of this organization.
Besides SCI, John is a Life member of Grand Slam Club / Ovis, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, as well as holding memberships in DU, MWF, FNAWS, and others.
John is married to Della, and he is President and CEO of Chas. Fidler & Son Ltd, a leading promotional products distributor based out of Selkirk, Manitoba.
Dwight Gelhorn
Vice President
My number one passion is hunting and it's this passion that has led me down the path to the SCI organization. Hunting both in Canada and abroad, I have seen what SCI has done for hunters around the globe, not only protecting their right to hunt but also protecting wildlife and the habitat they require.
I firmly believe if not for SCI and organizations like SCI, we would not enjoy the privilege and freedom to hunt in our own back yard and abroad. I am proud to be a life member of SCI and support the great work it does.
John Tronrud
Chapter Liaison
My love for the outdoors started at an early age, spending weekends and summers at our cottage in Whiteshell Provincial Park. I purchased my first shot gun at age sixteen from the Kenora gun store. That same fall I started hunting upland game and Deer and moose soon followed as I found I was spending all my spare time in the woods. In the early eighty's I was asked to help design and supervise a Native program at a remote lake in the Nopiming Provincial Park. This program was for youth from remote northern community's who were at risk.
For eight years our staff taught them wilderness skills. Working on a trap line, teaching humane trapping /fur handling techniques, brought these youth closer to their heritage. Each fall we hunted moose for winter our meat, which was all part of the program. Working closely with Natural Resources I become an instructor in the following areas, snowmobile safety, hunter/ firearm education, trapping and timber wolf control. Shortly after starting the Wilderness Program I purchased my own trap line (180 sq. miles) in the Nopiming Provincial Park where I spent many rewarding days enjoying Mother Nature's Gift. Now I work as a big game guide for Caribou, Moose and Black Bear.
Each fall I guide for Ken Gangler, owner of Canadian Sub Arctic Hunting which is located 240 miles north of Thompson. I have also spent time guiding in the Yukon for moose and Grizzly Bear. I have been seen working the booth for Gangler at the SCI Conventions in Reno and Las Vegas where I enjoy meeting old clients and making new contacts. I joined SCI as I am a firm believer that with SCI's backing hunters have a stronger voice to protect our rights to hunt now and for future generations. I look forward to meeting all of our chapter members in the very near future.
Jake Quiring
Chapter Treasurers
I was born in Russia and our family immigrated to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1967. My father fished and hunted all his life, and I was intrigued by his many life stories and memories. I spent my childhood years hunting and fishing in Manitoba with my father and younger brother. My brother and I have continued our father's tradition, and enjoy spending time hunting and fishing in our great outdoors.
I am happily married to a wonderful lady for almost 29 years, and we have a son and daughter. I enjoy fishing and hunting, traveling and relaxing, reading, and spending time with family. With our children grown up now, I have more time to get into big game hunting, and was successful in my first moose hunt in 2009 in northern Manitoba.
I hope to someday go on an African safari. I believe in giving back to community and have volunteered for many organizations. I want my children to have the same great opportunities for hunting and fishing that I have encountered in my life here in Canada. I look forward to contributing to a successful Safari Club Chapter here in Manitoba.
Dennis Weibe
Humanitarian Services Chair
I was raised in a small community south of Winnipeg. Growing up in the country provided a lot of opportunity for shooting, mostly target and small game hunting. As I got older it became more of a passion for me not only a pastime.
Currently I work in the firearms industry and consider myself very lucky to do so.
I have a wonderful opportunity to share my passion for hunting and shooting with many people and at the same time make my living from it. I am also a firearms safety instructor for both the non-restricted and the restricted safety courses.
This allows me to meet a wide variety of people and promote firearm safety to many people with an interest and desire to explore firearms in a safe and ethical way.
As I work in the firearms industry I also feel the important duty to be involved with organizations like SCI Manitoba, as this organization promotes the concept of ethical hunting and conservation. I feel my gift of being able to shoot and hunt must be preserved so that my two children and all young people may have the same opportunities for their future.
John Krupinski
It is an honor and a privilege to serve on the Board of the Manitoba Chapter of Safari Club International. I believe that it is our duty as hunters to support conservation efforts and promote hunting/shooting activities in the Province. I have provided my support by serving as Secretary Treasurer of Wild Gobblers Unlimited and as the Chapter President of National Wild Turkey Federation in Manitoba.
I believe that Safari Club International has an important role to play in the province working with other like minded organizations, supporting those activities that are so important to us as hunters and outdoor enthusiasts in Manitoba.
Dale Longstreet
We're going where? ….. to hunt for what?…. To fish for what?……… I'M IN
Thanks Dad for getting me hooked, thanks to my wife for letting me go, thanks to SCI for looking out for me and our futures in the outdoors.
Paul Turenne
Paul is the executive director of the Manitoba Lodges and Outfitters Association, representing the interests of Manitoba's hunting and fishing lodges and guides. Paul has been around hunting and fishing his whole life.
He is an accomplished moose and deer hunter and has qualified as an "expert" with Manitoba's Master Angler program. Paul also serves on the board of Fish Futures and on the project review committee for Manitoba's Fisheries Enhancement Fund. A former longtime newspaper reporter, Paul also has a special interest in media and politics.
Bea Barnard
I enjoy the outdoors and travelling. I am involved in several non-profit organizations and enjoy being a part of the Safari Club—Manitoba Chapter. The Safari Clubs dedication to conservation and protection of rights is a large part of why I am happy to be involved as secretary of the Manitoba Chapter.
