Are there any new insights into the Matewan transaction?
not much insight left, it seems all that can besaid has been said as far as economics are concerned.But from the mnb view, and knowing the intelligenceof dan r. Moore, (current ceo of mnb), mr. Allisonand anyone who is affiliated with bb&t should feelflattered that mnb "chose" them to be the lucky buyer ofsuch a great company. What a shopping trip that musthave been! Not many people have the advantage ofpicking their own boss! Go drm!!!!!
As a life long resident of Southern WV andespecially, Williamson, let me take a minute to respond tothe previous comments that have been made about therecent merger announcement.First, Mr. Push, yousound like an intelligent person yet are very ignorantabout the topic at hand. Let me be the first to assureyou that technology is alive and well in Southernrural WV. That is how I am communicating with you rightnow. Surprise, we hillbillies do know how to use theinternet. Secondly, as for our education, I have aBachelors Degree from Georgetown College of which myparents paid for since they made too much money forfinancial aid. No my parents are not doctors or lawyers,dad worked in the mines and mom taughtschool�surprise, we do have money down here. Oh, and let�s notforget, I am three-fourths of the way through my Mastersdegree in Business Administration of which are taken viainternet and compressed video at regional distancelearning classrooms. Yes, people down here do know thevalue of an education. Not only do I have my education,but I am a licensed series 7 securitiesrepresentative located in the southern WV region. And the numberof investment representatives are growing which tome says there is a need for this type of business.We may not be a dumb as you think.Third, inresponse to your comment on coal being the only economicsubstance for the area (OOPS, big words let me rephrasethat). Coal is the only way we have to make a living(better?). Yes, we realize the economy is driven primarilyby coal. That is why committees have been formed tostudy what types of industry can be brought in to thearea to subsidize in the event the coal industry goesunder. For your information, several telemarketinggroups have relocated into the Huntington area, whichserves Wayne and Cabell counties. The Kermit Branch doesservice Wayne county in WV. Another interesting fact isthat the Danville Branch is 30 miles from CharlestonWV, the states capital. But with the upgrade of 119,it takes less than 30 minutes to reach Charleston,in fact, many people that bank in Danville, work inCharleston, not in the coal mines. People in Southern WV doknow the value of setting up wills, trusts andpurchasing securities. Where are you getting yourstatistics? Besides, have you visited a MNB branch? Or eventraveled Mingo or Logan Counties as you ask someone else?A lot has changed over the past 5 years.Asfor the products offered, yes, credit cards areavailable and dealer financing all over the state of WV andKY, including the Huntington, Charleston areas in WV.There also is a partnership with Linsco/Private Ledgerin securities and Bysis (formerly The UnderwritingGroup or TUG) for insurance products. As you can see,we are not as uneducated or ignorant as you wouldthink. You may be looking at numbers, which fora short term investment, that is the area you wantto focus on. But for a long term investment, lookfurther and deeper. Not simply at the rumors andstereotypes of Southern WV. There is rich heritage in thesemountains. We have worked hard to abolish ignorance andstereotypes about southern WV but it appears there is stillmore to overcome. I will assure you and otherstockholders of BB&T that we at MNB have made a commitment toeach other. We want to succeed in this venture. Whatdoes BB&T have to offer MNB? The refined products of abig city bank into a small region, it�s called the"Best of Both Worlds". MNB is liked and very wellrespected in the market area it operates in. We wantprogress and by intelligent yet ignorant people likeyourself, it is very difficult for Southern WV to receiveanything. I would take more time but have work to do andclasses to study for. And in case you are wondering I ama woman�

A 'Hobbit' update: Fan event, Evangeline Lilly's inspiration, Ed Sheeran sees fire
The global fan event for "The Hobbit," hosted by Anderson Cooper (?), gave some insight into the newest character in the Peter Jackson Hobbit-verse: Evangeline Lilly as Tauriel, a Silvan Elf of Mirkwood.
Go over to the Entertainment Weekly site to learn more about what a huge fan she is of the Tolkien books and how much fun it is being the only girl on a set full of gentlemenly Hobbits and Dwarves and Elves. She also revealed that she looked to Tinkerbell for character inspiration. (In the interview, she's even wearing her hair like the bun headed Disney version of Tink.)
No one keeps his fans more in the loop that Jackson, who vlogs regularly during production. So if you like context to the magic you see onscreen -- with effects supervised by local Oscar winner Joe Letteri, I should add -- check on the notoriously barefoot director from time to time at The Hobbit Blog. You can also check out Ed Sheeran preparing the song "I See Fire" for the second movie installment in "The Hobbit" trilogy, "The Desolation of Smaug."

Research Interests
Our laboratory is involved in evaluating the effect of environmental influences such as chemical carcinogens and ultraviolet radiation on the skin immune system. The focus of our research is on the role of innate immunity in the development of skin carcinogenesis. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), one component of innate immunity, are intricately associated with a number of dermatologic conditions. We have found that the innate immune system mediates through Toll like receptor-4 (TLR4) signaling to activate the cell mediated adaptive immune response against chemically induced tumors. TLR4 signaling had a protective effect against 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) induced skin cancer in certain strains of mich which develop cell mediated immune response to this chemical carcinogen. We are currently in the process of evaluating the role of the innate immune system in ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation induced skin cancer. The mechanisms by which UVB radiation influences cell mediated immune responses have been the subject of extensive investigation. However, there is little information on the role of innate immunity in this process. Our recent experiments suggest that certain components of innate immunity, especially TLR4, may play an important role in photoimmunosuppression. Currently, we are investigating whether the resistance of TLR4 gene knockout mice to UVB-induced immunosuppression has implications for photocarcinogenesis. The ultimate goal of these studies will be to define the role of TLR4 in the development of immune suppression and tumor development that occurs following UV radiation. This may allow us to identify genetic loci that are involved in these processes and to develop immunopreventive and immunotherapeutic approaches toward them.

@aronzei BECAUSE IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO. It deals less damage than it says because it does attack more than once per second. Look, If I had a 1.000 pickaxe and my Auto Speed was 1.5 then It would do 1,500 Auto Clicker/ Second. If you can't understand this... Then there's no hope for ya bro.
Rating: 0
@aronzei, besides, it's not Auto Damage/Click but Auto Damage/Second...
@aronzei, I think YOU misunderstood. I'm pretty sure you have between 1 to 1.1 auto clicker speed. That's why.
Rating: 1
@aronzei, Of course it does. It shows you Damage/Second. If you auto clicked does 1,500,000/s and has a speed of 3 clicks per second it will do 500,000 damage. It's that simple... ><

San Pedro Ambergris Caye, Belize OR Roatan, Honduras
Report Abuse
I'm only familiar with Ambergris, here's a few thoughts. From researching and reading, I think the beaches/swimming are better on Roatan. Also, there is snorkeling from shore, which is a rare occurrence on Ambergris.
Ambergris has a large selection of places to stay, from budget to very high end. It appears Roatan does as well.
Ambergris is much smaller. You either get around on foot, bicycles, golf carts, water taxi. I think car rentals on Roatan.
You don't hear much about whale shark sightings on Ambergris. During the late spring/early summer, there is whale shark diving off the coast of southern Belize, around Placencia.
Food on Ambergris is awesome, everything from excellent and cheap street food to high end restaurants.
Lots of fun bars with live music on Ambergris.
Report Abuse
Fairly similiar to each other, though Roatan is more of a Creole culture and Ambergris more Mestizo, but both English speaking, great reef, Ambergris closer to mainland day trips for Maya temples, caves and other jungle trips. Whale sharks congregate off Placencia during certain times of the yr, but are migratory in the Bayof Amatique often. A whale shark was spotted off Placencia on New Years day, but that is a rare occurance this time of year, but only means they are in our waters year round, but not in high density

Okay, so from what I've gathered, the beaches and off shore snorkeling are much better in Roatan. Roatan we would most likely need a vehicle, whereas Ambergris we could get by with biking or a gold cart. Also, could one assume the nightlife (nothing crazy, but things to do after dark) is overall better on Ambergris?? Geesh, this isn't an easy decision!!!
Report Abuse
Before we went to Belize, I had read a few posts about the beaches that made me nervous, but where we stayed, the beach was beautiful with amazing soft, white sand, palm trees, and pretty water. There was sea grass in the water though, so we did snorkeling via a quick boat ride. The snorkeling was amazing. Lots of restaurants, etc. in town. Our hotel had golf carts you could rent and bikes you could use. Have not been to Roatan but always hear good things.
Report Abuse
Volcano girl,
How much did the boat rides out to the reef run you? Also, do you have any recommendations on which side of the island to stay? Thanks!!
Report Abuse
I'm not Volcano girl, but, the snorkeling tours to the reef are about US$35.00 a person.
I'm a person who wants lots of dining/drinking options, so I would stay south of town.
Report Abuse
Yes, I'm with Jean. We wanted to stay south of town as well. We stayed at Victoria House, but there are lots of good options.
Report Abuse
Spend some time on gmaps and you tube, a picture is worth a thousand words. Diving is overall better on AC. The reef is about 2 thousand feet offshore at San Pedro so you just kayak out and use a tie up. The reef is easier to get to on Roatan for snorkeling but there are atolls and the blue hole to dive from san pedro/AC. San Pedro is closer to the mainland for jungle type avtivities. you wont see any ruins on Roatan but you can get to them fairly easily from AC. You wont regret either destination and probably should plan trips to both.
Report Abuse
Could one assume the there are as many dining/drinking option on Roatan as on AC???
Report Abuse
Probably many more on Roatan but more spread out too.
Report Abuse
AC has lots, lots of restaurants with nice views too. I like that the town is so walkable. Wild Mangos is a yummy spot. If you're up for homemade ice cream and custard, check out D & E's.

Is diving in the blue hole as spectacular as advertised? Happy New Year Katz.

Thanks SS and Happy Festivus back atcha. Some love the Hole and some dont. Look at it on youtube to decide for oneself.

Port Lincoln Things to Do Tips by pedroswift
Port Lincoln Things to Do: 33 reviews and 99 photos

fresh product
Port Lincoln is famous for its farmed and wild caught seafood products.
What better way to introduce yourself to the wide range of products available than by visiting a factory which handles most of the local product? A guided tour gives not only an insight into the range of product but also the method of capture; the price received by the fisherfolk; the processing involved between capture and distribution and, most importantly, the taste.
We enjoyed our visit immensely by starting our exploration of the Eyre Peninsular by seeing the fish, crustaceans and shell fish that we would be eating in the meals we would later enjoy. We also received useful lessons on oyster shucking and fish filleting.
The tour finished off with tastings of fresh and processed seafood (smoked or pickled).
This is a great place to buy un-shucked oysters for a picnic in the park or to eat in your hotel room with a bottle of South Australian white wine.
Port Lincoln Fresh Fish Company conducts guided tours at 10.30am Monday, Wednesday & Friday (excluding public holidays).
Don't ring their home number : make a booking at the Port Lincoln Visitor Information Centre

essential oyster shucking gear
A very good reason to visit the Eyre Penninsula is to gormandise on fresh oysters. The farmed oysters from Coffin Bay and other areas are some of the best in the world. Buying from the grower or the grower's agent ensures that the product is the freshest and the price the lowest...8 dollars a dozen in late 2010 which was a fraction of the price of opened oysters at a restaurant.
Oysters in shell are a "live" product. There is a requirement ( law) that they are sold for 'home' consumption un-shucked ie shell still unopened.
"shuck"??? = the operation required to open the oyster shell and detach the meat from the top and bottom shell without losing the liquid within.
An essential part of the shucking operation is an "oyster knife" specially designed for the purpose. A wise precaution against inadvertent contact between the knife and the hand holding the oyster is a reinforced or kevlar glove.
So true blue oyster lovers will come to this part of the world already equipped with their shucking gear....or buy some when they arrive. NB. put the knife in checked luggage if you fly!!
Bring your own tabasco sauce and/or buy a lemon before heading to the park for an oyster picnic.
Check out a U-Tube demo on how to shuck oysters shorter videos are listed as well.
Address: seafood outlets on Eyre Penninsula

boat at the departure point
Port Lincoln has more millionaires per head of population than any town in Australia. This is due to the Tuna Industry. Every year wild Tuna caught in the Southern Ocean about 350 nautical miles from Port are put into huge floating enclosures and then slowly towed for many days back to the waters around Port Lincoln to be fattened for the very lucrative Japanese sashimi market.
Adventure Bay Charters run a two hour trip out to a specially set up tuna pen during which you and I can learn quite a lot about the industry; hand feed tuna and, for the more adventurous, dive with the tuna and hand feed them underwater.
The boat, which holds 38 passengers, departs from Marina Hotel Boarding Pontoon, Jubilee Drive and takes about 15 minutes of easy motoring in protected waters to arrive at the pen. Pontoon - approx. Lat & Long – 34º44'34.00"S : 135º52'28.00"E
Adventure Bay Charters claim, "Our Swim with the Tuna tour has been described as 'the most exciting and unexpected underwater experience anywhere!!' " Something to tell the folks back home.
There is an underwater viewing platform for those averse to slipping on a wet suit. All equipment is provided and the boat has facilities and drinks/snack bar. A taste of product on the way back will have you sold on sashimi grade tuna forever.
We booked a 1400 (2pm) tour with the Port Lincoln Visitor Information Centre, 3 Adelaide Place, Port Lincoln. Phone (08) 8683 3544 or 1300 788 378 www.visitportlincoln.net
Cost to swim with Tuna $95 for adults. Children $65
The non-swimmers $65/$45. Concessions available.

Best of Technical Support
I have heard that it's possible to set up Linux to combine two analog modems into one so as to double the speed of a connection. Is this true? If so, how does this work and where can I get more information on how to do this? I have Slackware 96. —Keith Bell
What you want to do is called load balancing. There is a feature you must compile into your kernel for load balancing to work and it is designed to work only with SLIP or PPP. The feature you must compile is EQL, or "Serial Line Load Balancing". As you configure your kernel there is a small amount of help available on the option. If you look at the file /linux-source-directory/drivers/net/README.eql, you can get more information on how this works and what you need to do. Be aware that this must be supported by the other end of the connection—either another Linux box compiled with this feature or a Livingston Portmaster 2e. —Chad Robinson, BRT Technical Services Corporation email@example.com
I am running named as a primary DNS server. It appears to be working fine, but my /var/adm/messages file is full of lines like the following:
Dec 5 09:34:14 lancomm named[105]: NSTATS 849796454 849648847 A=528 PTR=76 MX=96 ANY=202 Dec 5 09:34:14 lancomm named[105]: XSTATS 849796454 849648847 RQ=902 RR=634 RIQ=0 RNXD=49 RFwdQ=393 RFwdR=562 RDupQ=5 RDupR=6 RFail=1 RFErr=0 RErr=0 RTCP=0 RAXFR=0 RLame=15 ROpts=0 SSysQ=53 SAns=509 SFwdQ=393 SFwdR=562 SDupQ=426 SFail=19 SFErr=12 SErr=1 RNotNsQ=886 SNaAns=339 SNXD=49
These messages are logged every few minutes. Are these merely extraneous debug messages, or is named misconfigured? —Bill Cunningham
They are debug messages, and don't mean there is a configuration error. Those messages are the "extended statistics", a compile-time option for named. If you'd like to disable this logging, simply recompile named with the XSTATS option commented out in the file:
—Bob Hauck, Wasatch Communications Group firstname.lastname@example.com
When I run X-Windows the desktop resolution is 340X400 with 16 colors. I am wondering how to get my X server to run with a resolution of 800X600 with 256 or higher colors. I am having a hard time finding documentation or manual pages on how make this change. I am running Slackware 1.2.1 and using a Cirrus controller. —Matt Linak
Your distribution is very old. You should switch to XFree86-3.2, which includes many more supported cards. Most Cirrus controllers are supported now. Take a look at the README.Cirrus file in the XFree86 web site: www.xfree86.org . —Pierre Ficheux, Lectra Systemes email@example.com
I am running Linux 2.0.0 and have a second PC that I use a a terminal (serial) using a DOS term program. It's a 486 that used to be my main machine until I upgraded. I have been trying to find information on setting it up as an X terminal, but all the HOWTO and /usr/doc files seem to focus on other things. It's my understanding that if I put a small Linux kernel on it and use NFS for root that I should be able to do this as the machine has very limited resources these days. I know I can switch to PLIP for reasonable speed, and I have good documentation on using NFS as root, but I have not uncovered the missing information on setting it up as an X terminal. Can you direct me to a source? —Josh
You do need at least some disk resources to be able to set your H86 up as an X-terminal. There are ways to do a complete net-boot on a PC, but those include obtaining a 3C509 or NE2000 Ethernet card and a boot ROM. I haven't dealt with this method, though, because hard disks are becoming very cheap.
I recommend getting a 120MB IDE drive (you should be able to find a used one for around $25), and installing that. Then install a minimal Linux system including X, and you are set. You will need networking of some type since most Linux distributions require Ethernet for a network install. If you don't have a CD-ROM on that box, you'll probably want to do a network install, so pick up a cheap networking card (new NE2000 clones run about $25).
Now, for using the 486 as an X terminal, the easiest way is with xdm. You run it on your main machine, configure X on your 486, and you can then run X -query hostname on your other machine. That solution will run an X server locally, but will run all binaries off your main machine. —Donnie Barnes, Red Hat Software firstname.lastname@example.com

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

More than 700 attend 'Titanic' at River Campus
During the intermission of Friday evening's performance of "Titanic: The Musical," many spectators expressed mild disappointment that the production wasn't a musical version of the blockbuster James Cameron motion picture they were hoping to see.
But by the time for the traditional company bow to close the musical, almost all in the audience of 733 at the Bedell Performance Hall were on their feet applauding. Box office director Ellen Farrow said 795 tickets were sold.
"It's very different," said Collin Cecil of Sikeston, Mo., in comparing "Titanic: The Musical" to the 1997 film. "But it was nice," he added. Cecil and wife Starla received tickets to "Titanic" as a birthday gift for her. It was the first musical the Cecils have attended.
Mother and daughter Bonnie and Amber Pierce of Cape Girardeau attended the performance together and were divided on their expectations before the play.
"I thought it would be more like the movie," Bonnie Pierce said.
"I didn't think it would be like the movie," Amber Pierce said. "I thought it would be more informational. ... More of a historical representation of the Titanic."
Amber Pierce was impressed not only by the talent of the cast, but also the way the production managed to picture the ship with the limitations of the River Campus stage.
"The stage is very simplistic," Amber said. "I wasn't sure how they would represent the whole boat and the iceberg and all of that."
While there were no Jack and Rose in the production, there were plenty of other characters to grab the attention of the audience.
There was Alice Bean, a second-class passenger on the ship who longed to rub elbows with the wealthy socialites in first class, to the chagrin of her husband Edgar. And there was telegraph operator Harold Bride, who despite having an inflated opinion of the importance of his job showed his soft side by agreeing to transmit a marriage proposal by a third-class passenger. Also prominent in the musical were the roles of J. Bruce Ismay, owner of the White Star Line and the Titanic, and Capt. E.J. Smith. Smith was the captain of the vessel who eventually yielded to the pressure from Ismay and made decisions that ultimately doomed the Titanic and many of her passengers.
The touring version of "Titanic: The Musical" was produced by Boebe Productions. The original 1997 Broadway production ran for more than 800 performances, winning five Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

Global Integrity: Ukraine Boasts Strong Anti-Corruption Legislation
KYIV, Ukraine, November 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Integrity international NGO assessed Ukrainian anti-corruption law as strong, hitting 100 on the 0-100 scorecard. Improvements in Ukrainian legal base were recognized in the organization's 2011 annual report on anti-corruption institutions and mechanisms around the world. According to the 2011 country reports Ukrainian legal base landed among such top-scoring European countries as Germany, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ukrainian anti-corruption legislative framework has improved in 2011 compared to 2009, according to GI's assessment. After years-long political debate, several significant laws were enacted in 2011, reads the report. Global Integrity points out that the parliament passed a bill that grants citizens access to public information. New legislation also regulates conflicts of interest by government officials: post-government employment, gifts and hospitality, public official asset disclosure, etc. Notably, the 2011 Law on Access to Public Information provides that all information produced by the public bodies, excluding the confidential data, should be released to citizens within 5 to 30 days. The 2011 Law on the Foundations of Prevention and Combating Corruption contains new principles of corruption prevention; the act stipulates that government officials and their close relatives are obliged to declare their income and any expenses that exceed their income and publish such financial declarations in the official press. At the same time Ukraine scored low in actual implementation of the new legislation, according to the report. Although the government has been more active in fighting corruption lately, the NGO alleges that such activities were often politically motivated and targeted opposition leaders. "We are studying what is written in legal acts and how it works in practice. Ukraine has adopted many laws to fight corruption, but their implementation level is low," commented the Global Integrity projects manager Marco Tomicic and added that the report data is used by major international organizations, including the International Monetary Fund and the United Nations. On the other hand, Ukraine also scored high according to the Public Requests for Government Information (81), Voting and Party Formation (83), and Election Integrity (84) criteria. Also, Ukraine boasts advanced Supreme Audit Institution (81). SOURCE Worldwide News Ukraine

Attitudes towards people with mental illness: a cross-sectional study among nursing staff in psychiatric and somatic care
Abstract:Scand J Caring Sci; 2008; 22; 170–177Attitudes towards people with mental illness: a cross-sectional study among nursing staff in psychiatric and somatic care
Stigma and discrimination have been identified as important obstacles to the integration of people with mental illness in society. In efforts to reduce stigma and discrimination, health professionals play an important role as they have frequent contact with and responsibility for treatment and rehabilitation of consumers. The aim of the present study was to investigate attitudes towards mental illness and people with mental illness among nursing staff working in psychiatric or somatic care. The sample consisted of 120 registered or assistant nurses who were interviewed about intimacy with mental illness and attitudes about seven different mental illnesses. The results showed that nursing staff in somatic care, to a higher degree than nursing staff in mental health, reported more negative attitudes with regard to people with schizophrenia as being more dangerous and unpredictable. In contrast, professional experience, intimacy with mental illness and type of care organization were found to be more associated with attitudes to specific mental illnesses concerning the prospect of improvement with treatment and the prospect of recovery. In conclusion, attitudes among nursing staff are in several respects comparable with public opinions about mental illness and mentally ill persons. In order to elucidate if negative attitudes about dangerousness and unpredictability of persons with specific mental illnesses are associated with realistic experiences or with prejudices further studies with a qualitative design are suggested.

Realplayer and Helix Player 11 for Linux
The Helix developers have announced version 11 of Helix Player and Realplayer for Linux.
Helix Player is an Open Source variant of Realplayer, which uses the Helix DNA Client as its engine and only supports open formats such as Ogg/Vorbis and Theora, along with H.263 and uncompressed audio files in WAV, AU and AIFF formats. The player components are released under two licenses by Real, RPSL (which has official OSI recognition) and RCSL (a commercial source code license).
Helix Player's new features include playlist support and the ability to play live streams without fall-out due to a super buffer. Helix Player now also supports Alsa and will play audio content with surround sound. Finally, the developers have also fixed a number of bugs in the player software. Helix Player is available for downloading from the community website.
RealPlayer version 11 is also available as a free download version. It uses much the same codebase as Helix Player, but additionally supports proprietary formats such as Realaudio and Realvideo, MP3, MP4 Audio and Flash 4. The new version of the software also plays Windows media content.

It's not looking good: 2012 MENA Consumer confidence
Only 25 percent think their country's economy is getting better while about the same volume think their personal finance will get worse, according to a recently Consumer Confidence Index.
March 4, 2012 1:11 by kippreport
Despite a "comparatively high" rate of optimisim for the year agead, overall sentiment in the region is currently "less than positive" in the MENA region, according a recent Consumer Confidence Index from job site Bayt.com and research firm YouGov.
Only 26 percent of the respondents believed that their personal financial situation is better now than it was this time last year, and only 25 percent feel optimistic about the current economy of their country.
In addition, this is not considered to be a good time for business (according to 37 percent), with 43 percent stating that now is a 'bad time' to buy consumer durables.
In terms of employment, almost half of respondents (49 percent) claim that there are 'very few jobs' available, yet of those who are currently employed, 26 percent state that their company has more employees than at the same time last year. At 66 percent, the majority believe that their salaries have not kept pace with the cost of living.
There is definitely hope for a more positive future however, as 52 percent across the region believe that their personal finances will become better in a year's time, and all countries expect that business conditions will improve.
Inflation continues to generate a negative outlook across the board, however, with the cost of real estate being badly looked upon in all countries. Only 23 percent of respondents are optimistic about the future growth of their companies in terms of employees, with all countries sharing a neutral opinion about their companies being able to keep up with staffing demands.
In general, there is little interest in purchasing a vehicle or property, however those who are planning or considering a large purchase will buy new. There is more interest in purchasing laptops and desktop computers than in any other major purchases, followed by furniture.
"The appraisal of the current situation is subdued across the board, in terms of economy, commerce and employment. This sentiment is echoed in most countries, however there is a considerably more positive outlook for the near future as people look forward to improved conditions all around," said Suhail Masri, VP Sales at Bayt.com. "Bayt.com provides more than just an online portal for job-seeking convenience; we deliver substantial data regarding the region's most important issues, giving employers and job-seekers alike an appraisal of the current situation and future expectations."
"Given the current climate in the Middle East and, to an extent, globally, it is to be expected that sentiments for the present are low and that there is hope for a more positive future. The MENA region presents a mostly unified front in terms of opinions and aspirations, with an especially positive outlook for future financial and commercial conditions," said Sundip Chahal, CEO at YouGov.
UAE respondents mostly feel that there is no change in their personal financial situation, when compared to the same time last year; 43 percent believe their situation is the same, 28 percent believe that their situation is worse, and only 24 percent state that things are better. A similar balance is true with regards to the opinion of the country's economy –34 percent believe that it is the same as last year, 29 percent believe that it is worse, and 27 percent believe that it has improved.
Sentiment is somewhat dispassionate in terms of business; 41 percent believe that this is a 'neutral time' for business conditions (only 19 percent state that this is a 'good time'), while 45 percent believe that this is a 'neutral time to buy' goods and only 18 percent think it is a good time to do so.
Employment conditions are not considered to be too favourable, with 43 percent claiming that there are very few jobs available; 35 percent of respondents say that their company has less employees now than it did this time last year (28 percent claim that they now have more colleagues). Salaries are considered not to have kept up with the cost of living, according to a massive 70 percent.
As ever, there is considerable optimism for the future in the UAE, with 46 percent stating their belief that their personal financial situation will be better in a year's time, while 45 percent hold hope that the country's economy will also have improved. Business and employment conditions are expected to become more favourable by 46 percent and 31 percent of respondents, respectively.
Despite this, only 23 percent are optimistic that their companies will grow in terms of number of employees, with 40 percent remaining neutral with regards to meeting staffing requirements. Satisfaction with career prospects, growth and job security remains neutral to negative; only 15 percent favour their prospects in the coming year, only 18 percent believe there will be the opportunity for career growth, and only 22 percent are confident in the security of their job. A 47 percent majority are dissatisfied with their current compensation.
Inflation will continue to have a negative impact upon the cost of living according to 36 percent, and the cost of property for rental or purchase is still creating a feeling of negativity according to 30 percent of respondents.
Only 25 percent of respondents are considering buying a vehicle in the coming year, with just 17 percent looking to buy property. Of these, the majority will buy new. The most desirable major purchase is a laptop or desktop computer, followed by furniture.
Data for the quarterly Bayt.com Consumer Confidence Index survey – March 2012 was collected online from January 30 – February 14 2012, with 9,324 respondents aged over 18 years, covering GCC Arab, North African, Levant, Western Expatriate and Asian nationalities. Countries who participated are UAE, KSA, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Pakistan.
