Cautiously optimistic for Asian economies in 2014
Publication Date : 07-01-2014
The storm clouds that have been hanging over the global economy in recent years are forecast to gradually recede in 2014, with growth prospects improving for the United States, European Union and the Asia Pacific. Economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region is forecast to strengthen in 2014, supported by a rebound in East Asian exports, driven by an upturn in the US and EU.
However, the Asia-Pacific outlook is clouded by political risks which continue to create uncertainties in a number of countries; notably India, Indonesia and Thailand which are facing national elections in 2014.
In the US, GDP growth is forecast to increase from 1.8 per cent in 2013 to 2.5 per cent in 2014, boosted by an upturn in private consumption, residential construction and private investment.
US industry will continue to benefit from low US domestic natural gas prices, helped by the shale gas boom, which has also helped to lower US electricity prices and make US manufacturing more competitive.
Eurozone GDP growth is forecast to recover from 0.4 per cent contraction in 2013 to 0.8 per cent growth in 2014, led by an upturn in Germany, the EU's largest economy. The EU recovery in 2014 will also be helped by the rebound in the UK economy, with UK economic growth strengthening from 1.4 per cent in 2013 to 2.6 per cent in 2014.
Meanwhile, Asia's two largest economies, China and Japan, are expected to continue to show sustained expansion. Chinese GDP growth is forecast to improve from 7.8 per cent in 2013 to 8.1 per cent in 2014, helped by stronger growth in exports and continued robust consumer demand. The Japanese economy is projected to grow at 1.8 per cent in 2014, broadly similar to the pace of growth in 2013.
With economic growth showing some increase in all four of the world's largest economies, global economic growth is forecast to rise from 2.5 per cent in 2013 to 3.3 per cent in 2014. This upturn in world growth will also drive a rebound in world trade, with growth in world containerised trade forecast to rebound from a sluggish 2.1 per cent growth rate in 2013 to 4.7 per cent growth in 2014.
With many of Asia's industrial economies continuing to have a high share of exports in total GDP, including South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, the improving outlook for East Asian exports will be an important growth driver for much of East Asia.
The economic outlook for China is also helped by the improving prospects for the US and EU, which remain key export markets for China.
Exports have been one of the main growth engines of the Chinese economy over the last two decades, and the upturn in world trade will support stronger Chinese export growth in 2014, creating positive transmission effects throughout the supply chain of Chinese small and medium enterprises producing export-related goods and services.
The outlook for sustained strong Chinese economic growth in 2014 is also supported by continued large-scale infrastructure spending on urban development and transportation networks, including a major new investment program for the development of 'smart cities' in China.
Two key megatrends that will support Chinese economic growth over the medium term are the sustained strong growth of Chinese consumer spending, helped by rapidly growing household disposable incomes, and the continued urbanisation of China, with another 300 million people projected to live in urbanised areas by 2030.
China is already the world's second largest economy, and with rapid growth of over 8 per cent forecast for both 2014 and 2015, China will continue to provide a fast-growing export market for the rest of the Asia Pacific. Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) exports to China have been growing at an average annual rate of over 20 per cent per year over the last decade, and strong Asean-China bilateral trade will continue to be an important export growth market for both Asean countries and for China.
Meanwhile, the impact of 'Abenomics' has also helped to boost Japanese economic growth in the near term, with Japanese GDP growth forecast to be around 1.8 per cent in 2014, which will also provide positive transmission effects for Asia-Pacific trade and investment flows.
Two of the three arrows of Abenomics, namely monetary and fiscal stimulus, will be key supporting factors for Japanese growth in 2014. The Bank of Japan will continue to pursue quantitative easing policies to push inflation to the target rate of 2 per cent, while the Japanese yen has depreciated by over 25 per cent versus the US dollar since late 2012, boosting the export competitiveness of Japanese industry.
The Japanese economy continues to face structural headwinds, however, with the high level of government debt to GDP forcing the government to hike the sales tax from 5 per cent to 8 per cent in April 2014, which will dampen consumer demand, while the impact of ageing demographics is also a major drag on Japan's long-term potential growth rate.
The combined impact of Japan's relatively slow pace of long-term economic growth combined with its sharp exchange rate depreciation since 2012 have resulted in a major transformation in the economic structure of the Asia-Pacific regional economy.
In 2005, China's total annual GDP in nominal US dollar terms was half that of Japan. Just a decade later, in 2014, Chinese total annual GDP is forecast to be double Japanese GDP. The rapidly growing gap between Chinese and Japanese GDP since 2012 partly reflects the sharp depreciation of the Japanese yen against the dollar since late 2012, while the Chinese exchange rate has been relatively stable against the dollar.
India, Asia's second BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) economy, has experienced a sharp economic slowdown since 2011 due to the impact of tight monetary policy to curb inflationary pressures. Prospects for 2014 are for only a gradual improvement in Indian economic growth, with inflationary pressures still high and the Indian rupee having experienced sharp depreciation in 2013 due to the large current account deficit.
The Asean economies have shown a very resilient growth performance during the last two years, supported by strong domestic consumption and investment in some of the largest Asean countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines. The outlook for 2014 is for exports to play a greater role as a growth engine, while domestic demand is expected to moderate.
Meanwhile, some of the frontier economies of Asean are experiencing improving growth. The Vietnamese economy is showing signs of better economic growth momentum after several years of macroeconomic difficulties, with inflationary pressures having significantly abated while exports have strengthened.
In Myanmar, the rapid pace of economic reform is also supporting strong growth, as foreign direct investment inflows and multilateral and bilateral aid inflows support investment growth while the tourism sector continues to experience a boom due to surging international visits.
A key trend in the Asesan region during 2013 has been the rapid growth of Chinese tourism visitors, with Thailand experiencing a spectacular surge in Chinese visits, which are estimated to have doubled in 2013.
In summary, the economic outlook for the Asia Pacific in 2014 is for some improvement in regional growth momentum, helped by the upturn in the US and EU economies. However, global investors will differentiate amongst the individual Asian economies, taking a more cautious approach to countries with increased political risk due to factors such as national elections and displaying macroeconomic vulnerabilities such as large fiscal and current account deficits.
In the long term, the Asia-Pacific region is forecast to continue to be the fastest-growing region of the world's economy over the next two decades, helped by the ascendance of China to become the world's largest economy within the next decade and by the rapid growth of consumer spending power in emerging Asia.

Best Companies List: Who Is on Your Side?
BY Advocate.com Editors
December 08 2011 9:00 AM ET
Companies are often faced with the public's watchful eye. And so the HRC reserves the right to dock companies 25 points for a large-scale public blemish on their records. General Mills was targeted by the Florida Family Association this year, for example, for running ads on ABC Family's Pretty Little Liars. It removed the ads for business reasons but also issued a statement denying it had anything to do with the right-wing group. The Minnesota-based company has also said it will stay out of the upcoming ballot fight over marriage equality.

Arizona Wildcats
Updated Apr 25, 2013 - 4:44 pm
Arizona's Ka'Deem Carey ranked first among Pac-12 running backs
It should likely come as no surprise that University of Arizona running back Ka'Deem Carey was ranked by Athlon Sports as the top player at his position in the Pac-12.
Kind of comes with the territory of being a consensus First-Team All-American after a sophomore season in which he rushed for 1,929 yards and 23 touchdowns for a team that won eight games.
Of course, now there are expectations as the back heads into his junior season.
The star tailback from Tucson (Ariz.) Canyon del Oro might have been the most underrated player in the nation in 2012. Yet, after leading the nation in rushing (1,929 yards), setting multiple school and Pac-12 records and a few ugly off-the-field incidents, the junior-to-be is flying anything but under the radar in 2013. He is a workhorse back who can do anything he wants on the field and needs to learn that doesn't apply to his personal life. A domestic abuse incident with his girlfriend as well as a run-in with campus police has his long-term future in question at Arizona. Should he walk the straight and narrow, Carey will be a Heisman candidate in Rich Rodriguez's zone-read option scheme. If he cannot behave himself, he will find himself suspended or worse.
Sounds about right.
Carey will once again be the focal point of Rodriguez's offense in Arizona, and with uncertainty at the quarterback position could find himself carrying even more of the load.
As for the off-the-field stuff, the player is scheduled to appear in court on July 12.

From what I read the installation will overwrite the other installation. I downloaded both of them next to Windows 7. I've attached a photo of what gparted found. Also I have no devices hooked up to my computer but in the devices column of my window I says I have 747GB and 128GB attached to my machine. The amount of space I partitioned for one Ubuntu was 630 something or 750 total and the other was about the same, but since I overwrote it (Hardware)

2011 GMC Terrain SUV SLE-1 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
Leased this vehicle in 4 cylinder, was promised 26/32 mpg city/highway. A BLATANT LIE FROM GMC! Veh gets 14-16 in town and can't get over 21 on the highway. GMC was contacted and set up a service check at the dealer. They came up with every phony excuse you could think of. Too much weight in the veh (which is empty) to the mileage gauge must be reset every time ( even though the On-Star app says the lifetiMe average mileage of both city/highway is 17). Avoid this car at all expense, it has no power and the mileage SUCKS. GMC will try to blame you for the crummy mileage if you complain.
Searching for a lawyer to take on the big GMC Corp. Buy American, but not this American vehicle.

2011 GMC Terrain SUV SLT-1 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
My husband and I bought the 2011 GMC Terrain about a year ago.
In the last six months, its been in the shop twice now.
The first time was for an electrical issue...a terminal in the back of the car had corroded causing it to pull power on the ignition and drain the battery.
It took the dealership almost two weeks to diagnose and fix.
Then, six months later it would start but anytime you gave it gas, it would cut off.
Still in the shop after two weeks with no answer.
As both my husband and I being prior Toyota owners, I definitely regret buying this car.
I should have kept with Toyota.
Just an overall bad experience.

2011 GMC Terrain SUV SLT-2 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
This is my 3rd posting about the horrible gas mileage of this vehicle.
I would love a class action suit for performance....I bought it for the 32 mpg expecting to receive at least 27-28 mpg.
How disgusting!
I like driving my Camry Hybrid - 38-41 mpg - and 76,000 miles on it.
No more GM products for me!

2011 GMC Terrain SUV SLT-2 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
We have a 2011 GMC Terrain SLT, and this is the second time it has been in the shop. Milky white fluid boiled out of the water reservoir the first time. The dealer said the tubes that ran inside the radiator busted causing the white milky substance. The radiator was replaced and did numerous wash cycles for 3 weeks. We got the car back and 2 days later the radiator busted in my driveway and rusty brown fluid spewed out of the radiator. The check engine light has yet to come on. The dealer said it was the same problem. I asked if they did compression check for blown head gasket, and never got an answer. Is it a bad radiator or to much compression in the radiator. January 22, 2012 is year.

2011 GMC Terrain SUV SLE-1 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
I have had my 2011 Terrain for 15 months, 23,000 miles.
This car cost me an extra $1500 last year in gas because the actual mileage (17/22) is NOT EVEN CLOSE to claimed.
I am a retired airline pilot and mechanical engineer, I know how to glide thru air.
It really peeves me that we allow such false and misleading advertising, whatever happened to good old honesty?
See you at the class action claim hearing!

I will start by saying I am very careful when driving my vehicles to make sure I am getting the best gas mileage. I drive very appropriately. My gas mileage sucks. I traded in a Torrent for this and my Torrent got just about the same mileage, yet I paid a lot more for my Terrain! Now, I am stuck with a long commute to work and horribly gas mileage. They claim 32 hwy, I never expected 32, but I'm lucky to get 24-25, and again, I DO drive properly. Do I have any recourse for this? I'm pissing away money driving 2 hours per day thinking this care would save me money!

I am very unhappy with my 2011 model. It is less than one year old and only has 15,000 miles on it. In the last two weeks it has been in for repair 3 different times. It has gone in for multiple issues, 2 out of 3 are yet to be fixed. I have been in a rental car for a total of 12 days now. My fear is that this is a sign of things to come. I plan to ask for a replacement vehicle or I will absolutely be contacting the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection. Did I mention the gas mileage it NOT what was advertised??

2011 GMC Terrain SUV SLE-2 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
Me and my wife just bought this car used with 31,000 miles on it. Got a great price on it and so far, its ran great. I was told by one person to stay away from the 3.0L V-6 and go 4-Cyl, but others told me it would be just fine. There is a knocking noise when it runs, 3 different certified GM dealers told me its normal with the car and the direct injection in it, it runs great and has no issues so I am going to take there word for it. Still have the powertrain warranty if something goes wrong anyway. Overall nice features, fun to drive, and sporty, rides smooth and is fun to drive! I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a SUV! Ours is FWD and we live in MN, drives great still!

2011 GMC Terrain SUV SLT-1 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
Bought the vehicle with 19k miles on. It immediately needed a air intake sensor and valve. I travel about 350miles weekly and took a 1000 mile round trip with it. It is a smooth ride, not bad pick up even at higher speeds for a 4 cylinder. All the controls are readily accessible, not having to search them. With owning about a dozen cars in the past, I usually buy non-american, but liked the features and style on it so i gave it a shot and so far enjoying it. The biggest downfall I've seen was the suggested gas mileage. I'm getting about 18-24mpg, thats city and hwy at different speeds, but to counteract that you can get around 400 miles on a tank- I have bad driving habits though!

First, this is a V-6
Terrain AWD SLT-2, no V6 option in the list still...
So, after one year of ownership, I can attest to the performance, comfort, and build quality of our 2011 Terrain.
On freeway drives we get 23-26 MPG and towing a 1,400lb camper across the Cascades we still get around 21.
Not sure what people are doing to those 4-bangers, but the 6 performs well under all scenarios we've been in.
Hauled a new dishwasher in it last week with room to spare.
Leather is a bit stiff but comfy and the sliding / reclining rear seat makes ample room for car seats and passengers over 6ft with ease.
No problems whatsoever.
AWD great in ice and snow, quiet, comfy, hugs the road.

The Wizard of Oz, 1939 Posters
The Wizard of Oz, 1939 Posters is exceedingly prominent and makes a splendid wall decoration, the product dimension is 18 x 24 inch and the price is $59.99. If you're trying to look for top recommended The Wizard of Oz, 1939 Posters with sixpenny price, the product is the faithful deals for you.
The Wizard of Oz, 1939 Posters is loyal and evoke empathy and each of them matures as they are presented with challenges and surprising revelations. The item is polished and the color is exceedingly breathtaking. This unit is a magnificent poster that sets out the subscribers of and the preference behind a system for electric network all of the stuff that this poster has on the lists to do. The desirable quality paper and the produce is crisp and shiny and just fantastic. The Wizard of Oz, 1939 Posters is grainy and obviously a poster, not something true of a frame, but that is reflected in the price. The item is perfectly framed there are no scratches and the photo is in brand new condition. You have a great number of options and price classes for the poster or print you might want to but and a intense search tool. This product is ravishing faithful quality, though its hard to capture the giclee print of painting style in a photo. You can also see lots of other original pieces by keyposters. The Wizard of Oz, 1939 Posters is in satisfying shape, the colors are heart-stirring and quality is conspicuous.

We have been enjoying this refrigerator for about 6 months. It is quiet, easy to use and keep clean. Changing the multiple filters (3) is very easy. The front display is very nice and informative. The enclosed compartments for vegetables and meats are a good size. We have noticed that we rarely only open one door. You are always opening both top doors to get the desired food item needed. While this has not been a problem we are going into the warmest time of the year and don't know if this will make the unit work harder to maintain the uniform temperature that it has been doing. The 'but' is obviously not with the refrigerator but with the design. The French door concept is very different from side by side or single door. Once you get past that it is really a very nice unit. Ice making has been more than adequate to date.

There were three defects in the product.Freezer drawer did not work properly, has been resolved., Icemaker had a problem, also resolved. There is a very annoying whine when the cooling is in operation. The service person replaced a fan, but it did not stop the whine. He said he could do nothing further. I paid $2600 for this product which I expected to last ten tears or more. I purchased Kithen Aid based on it's reputation, only to find I was ripped off. Consumer Reports will get my reveiw and I hope it will deter other people from purchasing your product.

Excellent refrigerator
By Hershey555
from Kansas City, MO, United States
Comments about KitchenAid Stainless Freezer Refrigerator:
The only reason why I gave a4 star rating is because kitchen aid provides one preserva catridge for 2 crisper bins. I think with the cost of this refrigerator, they should provide two.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My husband and I love to cook and have friends over. This refrigerator stores and keeps all of our groceries fresh and crisp. It is easy to see what you have and easy to clean. I love the bottom freezer and the slide drawer, this is where I keep all of my spices.
Max room in rfig and freezer
By billbo 12
from Seneca, SC, United States
The best appliance we have bought. Good ice, great space, quite, very attractive, and good light
Nice Fridge
By rippy
from Mansfield, TX, United States
Had it for about a month now and it is wonderful, the ice maker is so small but it makes perfect ice, and since the icemaker is not taking up a chunk of space in the refrigerator it seems larger than the Samsung french door unit we had. It is a little loud but everythi g works perfect. 2 thumbs up from me!
All the features are great

Never had a French door refrigerator before but love the ease of getting in and out of the doors and the freezer compartment.

Pretty on outside lemon on inside
By Betty from Valencia
from Valencia, california
Last April our beautiful looking kitchen aid appliances,that were chosen to accent our fantastic kitchen remodel, arrived. The refrigerator looked beautiful on the outside but proved to have defects on inside. The last 10 months has been all consuming with refrigerators and servicemen coming and going. The first frig had a problem On the left bottom of the freezer, with ice forming outside the installation. The second frig had a problem on the top left hand side of the refrigerator. When the servicemen came to put in various kits, to try and solve the problem, I took pictures of the ice that was forming on the left side that was causing water to leak from the ceiling. Proving to be no fix for the defects of this model..last week I received a third refrigerator, a different model, from the same series. I would not recommend this model to anyone. However, I did get great customer service from my dealer and kitchen aid representative. The other appliances, as well as the third frig, are working fine. I would say it was just this model that was a lemon.
Luv it!
By gammy deedee
from Reading, PA
We redid our kitchen 3 years ago and got all Kitchenaid appliances, except a refrigerator. It took me 3 years to decide on which one I wanted - I did not want a French door at the time. Since I needed a larger refrigerator than the one I had, I decided to give the French door a try. After seeing all the features the Kitchenaid refrigerator had to offer, I decided to buy it. I can't believe I didn't buy it 3 years ago.............I luv it!!! Sometimes the doors get in the way because I'm not used to them yet, but I can finally organize all my food in all the compartments on the door and in the refrigerator itself. And the freezer..........it is wonderful.
Great features, but could still be improved
By dmuir
from Almont, MI, United States
The product is a month old now, and for the most part I'm happy with the choice. A few things that could be improved are: 1) The noise level. Although not objectionable, the noise when it first starts is quite loud for a 2014 Model Refrigerator. 2) Ice cubes. Since the ice cubes are actually stored in the refrigerator, they tend to melt slightly and freeze together. The ice through the door brings them out, but there is also many chips that come out too. 3) Glide feature on the lower freezer. It pulls out, but the mechanism could be smoother. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase, but keep the things above in mind for future upgrades.
Love all the conpartments
By amrowe7

Love all the conpartments my Kitchen Aid has, like the lock out on the ice/water despiner, the pizza pocket in the freezer door. The temp control for wine, veg, meats.

... After our dip and an extra large ice-cap we are back on the road by 230ish and start the drive through the gorgeous Okanagan Vallley. We arrive in Vancouver by 8 and it was thankfully smooth sailing through the city that we were able to catch the last sailing to Nanaimo. We get home around midnight and stumble from the car, leaving the luggage for tomorrows worries and crash hard. Live for the journey, not the ...

When I received the shipment, the box containing the headboard and footboard is was noticeably damaged (blame it on UPS), but everything inside was intact. The bed came into two boxes, one for the bed frame and another one for the headboard and footboard + hardware. Everything you need to assemble is included. Before I purchased this bed, I was contemplating on the Bonaire bed by Hillsdale. After seeing this bed on Overstock (it appears to have been added recently), I immediately fell in love with it. For half the price of the Hillsdale piece, it's a no brainer. After purchasing the bed, I got it in 3 business days. Assembly took about 2 hours by myself. The instructions are pretty clear, but be careful. The diagram showing the allen bolts is kind of confusing and because of that, I had to partially disassemble the frame more than once because I installed the wrong size bolts. The quality of the craftsmanship is great, but you can tell it's not a Hillsdale product (it's made by Home Elegance, BTW). The decorative terminals ontop of each post is actually screwed on, not casted onto the post as a single solid piece. I also like how the bed frame has three slats going across to distribute the weight of the mattress set evenly. The bed, when finished, raised my mattress set a little over 2.5 feet off the floor! Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. When we get a king bed, we'll get the Bonaire by Hillsdale. But for now, this bed will suffice.
The bed is beautiful. Like the other reviews said, the wooden parts are actually metal but it doesn't detract from the bed at all The bed came in two separate boxes on two different days (wasn't expecting that) and the box itself was a hot mess but nothing was damaged inside. It was easy to put together and it looks great in our guest bedroom.
Great bed for the money. Although there were no assembly instructions, it was pretty easy to figure out. Packing could have been a little better as the packaging was coming off when delivered.
I loved this bed from the first moment I saw it. I decided to buy the bed, however, based uppn the reviews posted. The bed arrived within a week. It was packed very securely, with layers of plastic, and styrofoam. After studying the instructions, counting my materials , and laying everything out, I was ready. For me, the total construction was about 2 hours (I'm ambidextrous and sometimes install things backwards. :/ ). The instructions were comprehensible and the diagrams were invaluable. The final result was a beautiful, strong bed. I have received an excellent value for my money, and look forward to many years of enjoying my beautiful bed.
Beautiful bed. Arrived in a week. When I recived it, it was missing some bolts. They sent them within the same week. And emailed me every day till I got them.
This is a pretty bed it goes great with my other bedroom furniture. It is very sturdy and does not shake or squeak at all. Very pleased with this bed.
Absolutely beautiful item! Strong, sturdy. Very happy customer
I have never ordered anything as large as a bed online and admit I was nervous about the purchase. I was very relieved when it was delivered. It was delivered in about a week and was exactly as pictured. the packaging was adequate and I only found one very slight dent in an area that wasn't that noticeable. easy to assemble. so I'm very pleased and would recommend overstock.
Made of metal but looks like wood. Beautiful and elegant
This is such a pretty addition to the bedroom. I paired it up with the Duval distressed dresser/chest/nightstands and it is perfect. Very easy to put together - in 1/2 hour it was done; instructions were very easy to follow. I'm very happy with the entire purchase.

Lavalier Microphones
The desired sound source for a lavalier microphone is a speaking (or occasionally singing) voice.
Undesired sources include other speaking voices, clothing or movement noise, ambient sound, and loudspeakers.
Balanced low-impedance output is preferred as usual. Adequate sensitivity can be achieved by both dynamic and condenser types, due to the relatively close placement of the microphone.
However, a condenser is generally preferred. The physical design is optimized for body-worn use. This may be done by means of a clip, a pin, or a neck cord. Small size is very desirable.
For a condenser, the necessary electronics are often housed in a separate small pack, also capable of being worn or placed in a pocket. Some condensers incorporate the electronics directly into the microphone connector.
Provision must also be made for attaching or routing the cable to allow mobility for the user.
Placement of lavalier microphones should be as close to the mouth as is practical, usually just below the neckline on a lapel, a tie, or a lanyard, or at the neckline in the case of robes or other vestments.
Omnidirectional types may be oriented in any convenient way, but a unidirectional type must be aimed in the direction of the mouth.
Avoid placing the microphone underneath layers of clothing or in a location where clothing or other objects may touch or rub against it. This is especially critical with unidirectional types.
Locate and attach the cable to minimize pull on the microphone and to allow walking without stepping or tripping on it. A wireless lavalier system eliminates this problem and provides complete freedom of movement.
Again, use only high-quality cables and connectors, and provide phantom power if required.
A condenser lavalier microphone will give excellent performance in a very small package, though a dynamic may be used if phantom power is not available or if the size is not critical.
Stations in the Los Angeles City area is just too much. At random times it sounds as if a 31 Band EQ is being switched in/out, while the Pastor is speaking. A new Shure PLX is one the way.
Tim Vear is "Mr. RF", and his "Wireless" presentations are just excellent.

Any milk based dessert or gelato, couscous, om aly...etc. Best is couscous and please ask for warm milk with it.
The visit to Alex doesn't complete except by the visit of Cheikh Wafee2 ... Wonderful taste of the rise milk with ice cream is the best .. koskosy and Um Aly is also tasty .... Excellent as usual !!!
I tried their Belila (kind of wheat with milk & nuts
My wife tried Couscous. Both were great. Price is very reasonable.
If you are a fan of the oriental desserts , then this place would be a permanent destination for you, although it appears to be far from major landmarks in Alexandria except the citadel but this place is great , they use first degree materials , if this place was located in a better area , it would have been...
El she7' wafee2 is so amazing blace every time I visit it I feel like so happy , the only thing macks me mad the customer service is too slow , Om Ali the best fast food ever
They make a very good rice with ice cream & nuts ,they are located after the fort of quitbay you can go walking form the quitbay fort
All of our choices were fab, really all of us liked it too much. the only bad point is the place has a lot of people hasselling all the time, some one for the parking and the other to go and sit down on the beach,.... etc. but we enjoyed there.
Not so posh place, but the food ( they serve dessert; rice pudding, milk pudding, ice cream, couscous ) is heavenly tasty, must try
The original taste of oriental sweets
Your main destination for sweets in Bahary area for sure
i loved the Rise with Milk from el shiekh wafee2 .. i went there several times with family and friends and it was always the same great rise with milk which i love the most .. i highly recommend it for rise and milk lovers :D

Call before you dig
In the aftermath of Thursday's severe storms and tornadoes, communities are cleaning up fallen trees and other debris, a process that often involves digging by hand or the use of backhoes and other implements.
The Minnesota Office of Pipeline Safety (MN OPS) warns that digging without knowing precise location of gas lines and other utilities can lead to power outages, communication disruption, fires and explosions.

A Powerful Protector Finds Its Home
|Ani Pema Chodron with the Mahakala painting.
On February 8, Gampo Acharya Pema Chodron presided over a ceremony to install Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche's original painting of the Four-Armed Mahakala on the protector shrine in Gampo Abbey's main shrine room. According to the Nalanda Translation Committee, the Four Armed Mahakala is said to be a dharmapala (protector) predicted by the Buddha, and he is a particular protector of the madhyamaka teachings and of the Chakrasamvara tantra. He was also a special protector of Surmang, and his symbolism is based on vajra anger and compassion. The Vidyadhara painted this in the early 60s, and it isn't known if he created it in India or during his time in England at Oxford University. For many years he kept this protector close, and he had it hanging on the wall of his residence in Boulder—the Kalapa Court. The Shambhala Archives has now entrusted care of this powerful image to the Abbey.

Son of migrant workers, now solar CEO: Don't put tariffs on Chinese solar panels
Because of our manufacturing model, such tariffs would not directly impact our company, but I am still deeply concerned about the tariffs being considered. International competition has driven the availability of lower cost Chinese products and has been a key factor in reducing costs throughout the US solar industry.
My concern is that the tariffs being considered will likely result in higher costs for solar energy components and a trade war with China. These developments would seriously endanger the vibrant US solar industry and derail our country's progress toward creating good jobs, attaining energy security, achieving a cleaner environment by substituting renewable fuels for fossil fuels, and lowering our dependence on imported oil.
More specifically, far from benefitting the US solar sector, the huge price increase that SolarWorld seeks on some imported solar panels would have a devastating impact because the affordability of solar electricity will be diminished and the growth in investments and jobs that has occurred in the last several years could come to a stop. Higher prices could in fact jeopardize billions of dollars of renewable energy contracts, including $11 billion for projects placed in 2012, placing thousands of jobs at risk.
Yes, China's government supports its solar industry, as governments in the US, Germany, Japan, and several other technologically advanced countries do for their industries. In the US, this support includes a patchwork of programs, including research grants, tax credits, and Renewable Portfolio Standards (required increases in energy produced from renewable sources) in 29 states. In spite of these programs, the US still needs a clearer commitment to transition away from fossil fuels to renewable energy, such as solar and wind power. But a trade war with China would make progress even more difficult.

I worked at Duke Energy
Almost everyone that works at Duke Energy is a top notch professional. This creates a solid working environment were almost everyone is happy, challenged and satisified.
Duke Energy is a large company so it can take time to move up in the ranks. Upward movement is made tougher because of the average age of the employees is on the high side of average.
Keep up the good work. The only suggestion I have is that safety is stressed a little too much. Creating a safe work environment is important, but telling adults how to cross the street is a little demeaning.

A good, friendly work environment. A lot of different jobs that you can move to throughout the company. Great benefits and job security that are rare in the current job market. Customers more consistent than most industries.Cons
Has to deal with extensive demands of government regulations that are constantly changing. Also, energy companies are an easy target for environmentalist protest.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Between new government regulations and the acquisition of other companies, Duke Energy has a lot of work to do in establishing standards (and documentation of them) throughout the system from the Power System to Software to Records Retention.

Generally, the Intern experience was very positive. Pay for that level of work was quite good and work-time and time-off were very flexible. This probably depends on department, however. Duke is huge.Cons
Being shoehorned into a single position in a large corporation is generally frustrating. At times, there is nothing to do, at others, the work week runs until late evening and weekends. Again, this could depend on department.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Dear Jim Rodgers, there's a great deal of disconnect between your engineering and business teams. The merger has left some very interesting political rifts within the company as well.RecommendsNo opinion of CEO

EQT Foundation Gives a Gift of Warmth
February 25, 2015
Thanks to a generous grant from the EQT Foundation, Operation warm was able to provide brand new winter coats to 1,000 children from several counties in Southwestern Pennsylvania and West Virginia this winter. The EQT Foundation supports nonprofits in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia to provide support to projects that help make a difference on critical issues in our society, including providing basic needs to under-served children.

Operation Warm is so grateful for the continued support of the EQT Foundation!

Two Thumbs Up for Groupon
September 15, 2014
We are so fortunate to have many corporate sponsors supporting our mission. Currently, Groupon Coupons and Groupon Grassroots are running campaigns supporting our work to bring the joy and warmth of a new winter coat to children in need.
Today, Groupon will make a donation to our effort for each coupon redeemed with an online purchase via Groupon Coupons. There are many valuable savings opportunities, so check it out.
And for the next ten days, Groupon Grassroots is featuring Operation Warm, inviting Groupon users to make a $10 donation which will be matched by a Rotary Club so that a child in need will receive a new Operation Warm winter coat. Donors can select which state they want to have their coat directed when they register their donation voucher.
We send "Two Thumbs Up" to our friends at Groupon and all of their customers who support us in our work to make a difference in so many young lives. Thank you!
Operation Warm & UNICEF Bringing Warmth to Syrian Refugee Children
July 17, 2014
The ongoing civil war in Syria has devastated the lives of its children. It's almost unfathomable, the number of Syrian refugee children whose lives have been placed in peril.
It's a big number. Each one of these children deserves an opportunity for HOPE. Every life is precious. Every life counts. We must never make the mistake of presuming that with a problem so vast, there's nothing we can do to help or that our contribution would be futile. There is a way you can help.
In most pictures depicting this horrific crisis we see the blazing hot sun and sand. Many don't realize that winter in Syria is freezing cold and windy, with temperatures dropping as low as minus six and great accumulations of snow. Without aid provided by UNICEF's winter clothing kits, many children would literally freeze to death.
Operation Warm and UNICEF are working together, and on a very short timeline, to raise the money required to ship warm winter coats to Syrian refugee camps where children struggle to survive. We are asking for your support in providing warm winter coats in time for this winter. To read more about the crisis, please click here.
To donate (and we hope you will), please click here. Your gift is very meaningful and will provide much needed relief from daily despair, illness, poverty, and loneliness. Thank you.
Cause Marketing is Good Marketing
June 23, 2014
A recent study by Cone Communications found that demand for brands to support causes is strong and growing. One highlight of the study: 91% of global consumers are likely to switch brands to one associated with a good cause, given comparable price and quality.
I t comes a little surprise then that more companies are offering to help Operation Warm as we work to provide happiness and warmth to more children through the gift of brand new winter coats. This includes our latest cause marketing partner, Half Moon Restaurant in Kennett Square, just a few miles from our office.
Our mission resonates with many and provides a compelling cause for your business to support: empowering underprivileged children to attend school with pride on cold winter days thanks to a new Operation Warm winter coat. Let us know if you'd like to work with us on your next cause marketing campaign.
An Idea We Love- "Beards for Coats"
January 09, 2014
One of the best ways to keep the Operation Warm team smiling is to send us news of your most creative fundraising ideas. Our latest "best idea of the day" comes from Walla Walla, Washington. Here's what's happening there!
Hello Operation Warm,
We just wanted to let you know we are having a beard growing contest where our students will vote with a quarter in a jar with some of our teacher's pictures on them. Once we are finished all proceeds will go to Operation Warm. The contest ends on Valentine's Day. Funds will be distributed through our ASB. One of our local vendors is donating a shave kit for the winner.
I have never done a fundraiser like this so I have no idea how successful it will be. My thinking was to cash in on all the "no-shave Novembers" and duck dynasty beards going on out there, and I thought the guys were keeping their faces warm while helping keep kids warm. I have attached a couple of the flyers FYI. We wanted you to have a heads' up!
Britt Adkins
Registrar, Pioneer Middle School
Thanks for sharing Mr. Adkins. We'd love to hear of other creative fundraising idea; send them along.
Giuliani Foundation Helps Keep Connecticut Children Warm
December 02, 2013
Operation Warm sends our thanks to the Amalia & Nicola Giuliani Foundation for Religion and the Arts for their support this past year. Thanks to their generous contribution, Connecticut children received new winter coats that helped them feel warm, health, and valued.
Operation Warm is so happy to partner with the Amalia & Nicola Giuliani Foundation for Religion and the Arts to serve impoverished children in the state of Connecticut. A coat distribution in December 2013 provided some terrific children a boost to their pride and self-esteem, and ensured they are poised to succeed. Given the unusually snowy and cold winter, the coats went to excellent use, preparing children for the freezing winter temperatures. Because of the Giuliani Foundation grant, children who were previously without warm coats were able to go sledding, build snowmen, and jump for joy when the snow led to early dismissal from school! Operation Warm's beneficiaries share stories of heightened self-esteem because children no longer have to wear a coat they've outgrown, or need to share with a sibling. We were able to serve over 3,200 children in Connecticut this year, and we thank the Amalia & Nicola Giuliani Foundation and all our Connecticut donors for their support!
About the Amalia & Nicola Giuliani Foundation:
The Amalia & Nicola Giuliani Foundation for Religion and the Arts is an independent foundation that provides grants to organizations operating in the areas of religion, the arts, and education. The Foundation honors the legacy of Amalia and Nicola Giuliani and their sons, Vin, an artist, and John, an artist and priest, whose lives were dedicated to the celebration of human creativity and spirituality in service of human transformation and the building of the earth. Visit giulianifdn.org for more information.
About Operation Warm:
Operation Warm provides new winter coats to children in need across the United States. In 2013-2014 Operation Warm will serve approximately 200,000 children living in poverty. Nationally, 16.5 million children live in poverty in the United States. In Connecticut, there are a recorded 102,662 children living in poverty.

- "We all need to give more to those who are less fortunate than ourselves." - James K.
- "No child deserves to be cold and whatever we can give to help is well worth it and I wish I could be there to see the smiles on their faces when they are handed their new coat." - Michael V.
- "(To give to Operation Warm) gives me a good feeling inside..."- Scotty B.
- "It is important to take care of our children and providing a coat to a child that may otherwise not have one is a wonderful, heartwarming act of kindness." – David M.
