We flew Singapore Airlines and the NZ – Singapore leg of just over 9hours was fabulous. I was terrified and the ladies in there kabaya were just all so helpful and beautiful. Hint I got for those long flights in air conditioning. Apparently if you start getting dry ask for a warm towel (that they give at the beginning and end), put it over your face and breathe through it and it should help hydrate the airways. I was quite sick with the flu so was struggling. The food was good much better than the next leg to London. We were however, in the last two seats of the plane which had its up sides. Downside was that the entire plane seemed to think that the tail was their own personal viewing deck so had to stand right by my seat and chat. No sleeping for me.
Changi airport was pretty amazing. I read a sign that said all cargo is unloaded and processed in 13 minutes or less!! Free internet. I think I could happily live there.
We had the Singapore Stopover deal which was worth it. Stayed at the Plaza Parkroyal. It was good but perhaps a little less central than we would have liked. But the stopover bus wasn't far away. We got 50% off food at the hotel restaurant which was average but handy. And a newspaper each morning - only hotel we got that at our entire travels.
Our first night was the night of the second big earthquake in Indonesia. Slept through it. The rest of Singapore was up all night and evacuated some building and all sorts. Maybe just jet lag perhaps just NZ earthquake resilience!
The stopover package gave us a free boat tour up the river. It wasn't the most of informative tours – and American sounding taped commentary but a good opportunity to see the sights and take some photos. There is a great sculpture of little boys jumping into the river in bronze. And you see the Merlion of course.
We watched a cricket match at the Singapore Cricket Club. Jeepers you'd have to be keen in that humidity.
The zoo – getting there on public transport is actually easy but you just don't know that until you finally get there. Take the MRT to Ang Mo Kio and then a bus 138 until you get to the zoo. It is really obvious when you do get there it stops right outside. The Elephant show was the best part. Great zoo but I had to keep avoiding the men draped in snakes (don't like snakes and I'm not interested in conquering any fear thank you). The reservoir is worth a look for the view. Everyone told us to do the Night Safari as it is great – but we didn't cos we'd had enough of critters by then. The stopover package also gave free entry into these sights.
Orchard Road – wow. But a waste of our time as this was the beginning of a long trip and we are budget travellers. But worth it if you have some money to burn.
Little India and Arab st – we got up a bit too early most things don't open until at least 10am so sleep in – go on. However a wander through these districts was interested. Not enough air conditioned shops for us poor equator virgins.
Chinatown – one of the highlights for us. Even though it was raining. Just so much colour and interesting places to explore. Wished I'd had more time.
Asian Civilisations Museum – good to pass the time while it was raining but to be honest didn't enjoy it that much (might just be me – by the time we got to Florence I had realised I just don't like museums that much!). Again free entry due to the stopover package.
We loved Singapore however found our first taste of the humidity very draining. 4 nights was about right. We learning that if you don't take an umbrella you will get very wet and if you do take one it will not rain at all. We liked how clean and easy everything was especially as we were travelling newbies at this point. The underground was the best we saw in all our travels. We were unable to find a rude local. In fact, not only did a bus wait for us when we couldn't find the right change another lady paid the fare for us!! The Internet cafes here were really cheap. We could easily go back and spend some more time there.

Domus Hyakumanben 3F, 28-20 Tanak-monzenmae, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto, Japan
Easy to find, friendly staff, good food.
19 Apr 2013
Cafe Proverbs is easy to find, has friendly staff, ample seating, and an extensive menu. The food was also very good. I'm really happy we found it.
'Cafe Proverbs 15:17'...
Although we're not religious by any stretch of the imagination, I looked up the Proverbs 15:17 verse:
"Better is a dish of vegetables where love is
than a fattened ox and hatred with it"
Nice message :)
This verse is printed on the menus, and we had just thought it was weird 'Engrish'!
Side Note:
After we found 'Sunny Place' closed, we came around the corner to Cafe Proverbs. Actually this was the third time we had found a place was closed (during normal trading hours, grrrrrr! ), and subsequently found an excellent alternative. So keep looking... it's often worth it!
570 Nakano-cho, Teramachi-dori, Kyoto, Japan
Strange lady, excellent food.
16 Apr 2013
After finding Morpho closed when it was meant to be open, we headed to Mikoan. As other reviewers have said, it is the sort of place you wouldn't know is there unless someone told you, and even knowing that you're looking for a tiny door between two shops, with a long corridor leading down to the place... you might walk by a few times and miss it.
When we arrived, the door to the corridor to Mikoan was closed. We couldn't open it, but the handwritten signs showed it was a vegetarian eatery, so we asked a lady in the shop next door. She also tried the door and looked confused, and could not tell us anything in English. I called the phone number on the door, and someone answered but did not speak. After saying 'Hello' a few too many times, a lady came down the corridor, opened the gate, put a sign outside, and lead us in.
When we reached the end of the corridor, the lady opened a door and shut it, leaving us outside. My girlfriend thought it was very rude, but we opened the door and followed the lady in. The place had no people in it, but was full of so many things everywhere. She pointed to stools at the end of the bar and we sat. We noticed that classical music (Western, not Japanese) was playing. She handed us English menus that had 'lunch set' and 'dinner set' (with no explanations), and some drinks. The lady then proceeded to feed her cat at the other end of the bar -- I mean, the cat stood on a stool and ate from a plate on the bar, like a customer!
Anyway, although she could not really speak any English other than 'Menu has no meat, no fish, no eggs, no butter', we had read the reviews and knew the food was vegetarian, so we ordered the dinner set for two, and a couple of beers (she has Yebisu and Guiness on tap).
WOW! She came out with two trays full of small traditional Japanese dishes, and everything was different, except for the rice and miso soup on each. She said 'share', and we did. The food was really excellent! Fantastic!
While we were there, two Japanese men came in. One spoke good English and said he was from Kyoto and had never travelled outside of Japan. The lady finally smiled and laughed as she chatted with the locals. I asked the English-speaking man to translate our appreciation of the wonderful food!
We paid 1000 Yen each for the dinner, and 550 Yen each for the beer, so about 3000 Yen (roughly $30 Australian/US). This is expensive for Japan, but really it was well worth it for us to sample such fine Japanese food.
Nishiki-dori, 198-1, Kyoto, Japan
We couldn't find the mythical door...
16 Apr 2013
After reading so many good reviews about 'Hale', we went searching for it, but failed to find the mythical door 9or any coridor) that people have described. The area is a very busy marketplace full of tiny shops, and it is hard to walk quickly through the crowds. I would not recommend trying to find this place if you are very hungry or pressed for time.
Uguisudanicho 15-10, Royal Palace Shibuya 103, Tokyo, Japan
Nice place
12 Apr 2013
We found this place just up the road from where we were staying with a friend.
It was not hard to find, the staff spoke English, the food was tasty, and it was not too expensive (but certainly not cheap). There's a lunch deal where you pick and mix from dishes that are behind glass.
The food was nowhere near as good as T's Tantan (inside Tokyo train Station), but it was good to find a local vegetarian place.
Kyoto-shi Sakyo-ku Tanaka-Mon-zen-cho 96-2, Kyoto, Japan
Easy to find. Great food. Lovely old lady.
19 Apr 2013
We had dinner at Sujata this evening. It is easy to find. We went in half an hour before closing time, and the old lady requested we order the Japanese set dinner, and pointed at the wall. We did, and it was fabulous!
You can eat downstairs at the bar or some tables there, or upstairs. We were upstairs. you sit on the floor on mats, in front of low tables.
The set menu was 840 Yen, and the dessert we had was 400 Yen.
The old lady did not speak much English, but she smiled and was friendly. there was also a young guy helping her serve the food.
The food was similar to Mikoan -- traditional Japanese dishes, vegan style. I highly recommend it. The only downside is that the food took a long time to prepare. That said, there was a group of about 8 next to us upstairs, and downstairs was full. I completely understand the longish wait, and really enjoyed the food.
168-2 Tanaka Ōichō, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto, Japan
Closed during normal lunch hours
19 Apr 2013
I'm getting really annoyed at how many places are closed (without explanation) when they are meant to be open!
Tokyo Station, 1F, Keiyo Street, Tokyo, Japan
Brilliant! A must-eat!
12 Apr 2013
After failing to find Ain Soph in Ginza, we went to T's Tantan in the underground area of Tokyo Station. Buy a ticket, go underground, look for an food area called 'Keiyo Street'. T's is the last place on the right. It's not too hard to find.
When we arrived, it was full of locals and some foreigners. The food was absolutely fantastic, and I'd venture to say it was some of the best vegan food I've ever tried. The staff gave us an English menu and they spoke enough English to take our order and answer a few questions.
If you're in Tokyo, you are probably going to be in the Tokyo train station at some point. Go and eat at T's!
Price guide: 850 Yen mains. We spend AUD$30 for 2 set meals (main + small bowl) and hot tea. It's not the absolute cheapest place around, but is also not very expensive.
67-7 Kitashirakawa Oiwakecho, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto, Japan
Lovely place, run by a family from Fukushima
19 Apr 2013
Tosca is on the main road 'Imadegawa Dori', not far from another veg place called 'Sujata'.
Map: http://goo.gl/maps/KvOAo
Tosca is run by a family from Fukishima. They moved after the disaster there. We met the mother and two daughters, and another lady who worked there. The mother and she said they used to have a restaurant in Tokyo, but moved to Kyoto. She has two daughters who run Tosca, who used to live in Australia, and a third daughter still lives in Australia. They are all friendly and speak quite good English.
Other than being a little expensive, we liked the location, staff and food. If you are in the area of Ginkakuji -- the 'Silver Temple' -- it's worth checking out Tosca.
There is another place called Sujata which is just up the road, and is cheaper, but it is smaller and busier. We got served quickly at Tosca. Depending on how much time and money you have, this may or may not be important to you. Or, you could be like us, and visit every place you can!
Side notes:
They said they will update their website with English in due course.
The mother also told us she and her husband run macrobiotic/fasting retreats in the Blue Mountains, just outside Sydney, Australia. If you're interested in Macrobiotics or fasting, ask them about it...
612-0029 Kyoto-shi Fushimi-ku Fukakusa Nishi Uramachi 4-chome 88, Kyoto, Japan
They fed me for free, while it was closed!
17 Apr 2013
I went to Vegans Cafe and Restaurant around 4:30pm on a Wednesday. It was not difficult to find. It turns out that, like many places, they close between lunch and dinner. The front was open, so I walked in. There was only a young boy, who couldn't speak any English. He disappeared and came back with a cold pizza, and disappeared again. He gave me a printed note saying they were not open until later, but that there was a pizza, and if it was good, to eat it. I did, and the boy refused to accept any money.
I had walked about 15km that day, and was very hungry. I was really surprised that they helped me even though they were closed, and that they wouldn't accept any money!
The menu looked quite good, and the prices were reasonable. If you are visiting the Fushimi Inari Shrine, please give this restaurant your patronage!

text: The Hydrophonic Crew (T.H.C.) officially started in the summer of 1998. The Hydrophonic Crew was originally a DJ group consisting of Primo B and Nick White. T.H.C. performed shows all over Southwest Michigan and opened up for the area's biggest hip hop and rock bands. At the same time they started performing @ all Rumble House shows in Kalamazoo @ CLUB SODA. They would DJ in between sets to get the crowd moving. THC eventually started it's own clothing line in 2000 and went on to sell thousand's of shirts, hats, etc. In 2001 The Hydrophonic Crew decided to become a hip hop group. They started writing and recording all original music and getting ready for live shows but soon Nick would decide to leave the group. In 2002 the remaining member, Primo B, met and started writing music with Fort Wayne Indiana's own Custom Made Smitty. It was a match made in heaven. Primo invited Custom Made to be a part in the group and he accepted. They worked non-stop on a new c.d. and material for live shows, and in spring of '03 started performing live around Indiana. from 2003-2006 THC played hundreds of live shows and recorded numerous songs with local producers. During that time Primo B, Custom Made, and brothers Jake and Jes Farris started the record label Hometown Hooligans. The Hooligan label prospered over the next 3 years adding artists to their roster such as Massakre, DJ Epitaph, A.C., Portable J, and Konfewshus. In 2005 Custom Made Smitty became a father to twin girls and in the summer of 2006 Primo B decided to take a break from THC and the Hooligans to get married and start a family while Custom Made continued to work on music with the Hooligans. In 2011, after a half decade break, Primo B and Custom Made Smitty started to talk about a comeback. In the spring of 2012 THC started writing new music and recording for an upcoming album and mixtape. They Hydrophonic Crew is almost ready to come out of retirement for 2013. Music is getting recorded, websites are launching, and new merch is being made! 2013 will be and exciting time for THE CREW. Keep tuned for all the new dopeness coming your way soon!!!

Rancid Aluminium This will hopefully be a quick thread as it's more of a film query really. I rehearsed a print of Rancid Aluminium some years ago (I'm not pround of it, it was my job) and I seem to remember Alec Guinness being in it very briefly. His character truned up in a limo of sorts, the car door was opened and he delivered a few lines. This unfortunately would make this dreadful film Guinness's last. Did I imagine his presence in the film. It's possible I fell asleep but if anyone has seen this film or has the DVD to hand, could they take a quick look at it. I don't think checking the end credits will do as he is not listed on the IMDB (yes I know they get stuff wrong sometimes) so a quick scan through the moviw itself would be in order. Hope someone can help as I'm doubting my sanity.

| Guest chapter 4 . 7/15
Update please
| ninjacatblue chapter 4 . 7/2
More! I need more! This a fantastic start, and I can't wait to see where you go with this. This section is woefully small, and this is a great piece.
| sad sabrin chapter 4 . 5/26
Please continue the story
| QuartSigma chapter 4 . 4/30
I really like how you combined the original musical movie and Tim Burton's movie here. Really nicely written and I have to wonder how things will go from here especially when the Wizarding World's involved
| VerucaBeyotch chapter 1 . 2/21
Plz update I wanna know what happens and plz use the Oompa Loompas from original movie the songs can be the Tim Burton version also can you do the tunnel of Hell and make Wonka sing Pure Imagination I don't care if you mix all the Wonka's together... If you people consider the new version of Ommoa Loompas to be than we will eats you they were really crappy even though the movie was good I still prefer the original ones...*Grrr*
| xXxOtAkU-444xXx chapter 4 . 1/15
I really like it a lot! **
| Linkwonka88 chapter 4 . 12/1/2015
Ok you must continue this plz I love and cant wait for more and what will happen to Harry and the rest of the kids
| bleach103 chapter 4 . 10/4/2015
please update
| bluebird397 chapter 4 . 9/19/2015
Oh please, oh please, oh PLEASE update!
| jeanette9a chapter 4 . 8/30/2015
regarding your last question, i just want to say i like the new songs.
| ElementalMaster16 chapter 4 . 5/4/2015
hmmm, interesting fic so far!
| doubledamn chapter 4 . 4/29/2015
Oh now THIS is interesting. A fusion of the two films with Gringotts taking a special interest in the Potter Heir and what I assume is a Squib under the employ of the Ministry for Magic as a media-related damage control agent.
This is getting good. Don't stop, and if at all possible keep in the Wonka Hell Tunnel, if nothing else it gives you an excuse to give Vernon a heart attack.
| doubledamn chapter 3 . 4/29/2015
Seriously? Definitely NOT the Burton Loompas. To even consider them is a ludicrousness on par with the average episode of Adventure Time.
| KinZoku591 chapter 4 . 4/28/2015
Fascinating idea for a story, i can only hope you update more especially once you brought in the goblins.
| AnnElfwind chapter 4 . 4/27/2015
I have the feeling this is a mix between the older and the newer Chocolate factory?
If so, you're doing a good job putting them together.
I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Sydney Roosters playmaker James Maloney is grateful teammate Sonny Bill Williams is such a popular man.
While he hasn't bought into the hype surrounding Williams' first clash on Friday against Canterbury since he walked out on the NRL club in 2008, Maloney says the build up has taken some pressure off him.
"It's great for me," the five-eighth told reporters on Wednesday.
"Sonny deals with everything that comes up. It's just, I suppose, the way his life is, really.
"He draws a crowd everywhere he goes, so it's nothing new for him.
"As a side, we're sort of shutting it all out and just focusing on what we need to do."
Maloney said the team hadn't spoken much about Williams' maiden match-up against the Bulldogs, but he does expect him to cop a fair bit of stick from fans - although nothing he hasn't dealt with before.
"It's more about the media and the fans where the issue is coming from and being beat up," he said.
"It'll make for a fiery game, no doubt.
"At the end of the day, [the Bulldogs are] looking to find some form and we don't want to let them find it against us."
Maloney, who joined the Roosters from the Warriors this season, is also surprisingly thankful for the quick turnaround between Sunday's 24-22 loss to Canberra and Friday's game at Allianz Stadium.
He said it'll give them a chance to make amends sooner rather than later.
"It was just obviously a pretty disappointing way to finish the game down there ... [but] a short turnaround, it's a blessing in disguise," he said.
"[There's] not too long to dwell on it and we can move on this week.
"It's about fixing some of the issues we had last week and that's our biggest thing.
"We know what we can do when we're playing good football and at stages last week, and the week just gone, we definitely had some issues and we've got to correct them."

California court approves lesbian parental access
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
read article with interest. My concern is as to whether the woman who moved to Cornwall to "thwart" the access order supposedly, did so because of heavy pressure by her ex partner in terms of abuse and hatred of the partner, pressure from so called friends and other supporters of the ex partner (all done in the name of the interests of the child), including critisism of the mother's ability to be a parent, of her mental facilities, etc. I also wonder if there was any help with reconciliation, either to aid the eventual judgement, or to aid the future relationship change.It is sad when couples break up, but I have seen too much vitriole and emotional violence all to gain the right to parent children that are not biologically your own. The trouble seems to be also that differences within a relationship such as race, disability, age, etc often become more acute when children are involved. Maybe lesbians should be more careful, with whom we decide to partner with and resolve potential difficulties before we start having children, because they are affected whether we stay together or part by the love or hatred with which we choose to conduct our relationships. It is surely much better to not use children to hurt each other or the threat of. As lesbians and feminists (which many of us are not) we should surely strive to create a better world for all women to exist in with or without children and that includes loving oursleves and each other.

Sudan's pistol-packing preacher
It wasn't so much a bolt-out-of-the-blue, as a baby that turned biker Sam Childers to God.
Against long odds, his ex-stripper girlfriend finally got pregnant, and that was pretty much it.
He gave up the outlaw lifestyle, though not the guns.
He quit peddling the dope that was killing junkies, and took his newly-reformed, God-fearing self to Sudan and commenced killing rebels so he could free child soldiers.
At least, that's his story.
It was enough to persuade Hollywood to make a soon-to-be-released film with actor Gerard Butler playing the man himself.
Canadian journalist Dennis Porter has been to play with him too, and witness the biblical vengeance of the Machine Gun Preacher.

In-depth country-focused analysis on Chile's economic, political and operational risk environment, complemented by detailed sector insight
In-depth country-focused analysis on Chile's economic, political and operational risk environment, complemented by detailed sector insight
Chile is rich in copper, a highly sought-after commodity and the main driver of export growth in the country. Its political system is stable and democratic, with strong institutions. This is reflected in its comprehensive legal framework and independent judiciary. Chile's prudent fiscal and monetary policy execution in recent years, based upon cooperation with international financial institutions, has contributed greatly to macroeconomic stability.
We keep our clients informed of the latest market moves and political developments as part of our 'top-down' and 'bottom-up' perspective in Chile. Clients also benefit from in-depth analysis on 22 of the country's most important industries. We provide interactive data and forecasting alongside detailed and risk-assessed analysis from our expert teams. We aim to keep you ahead of the curve, so you can do business with ease in Chile.
Core Views
Real GDP growth in Chile will remain modest in 2016, as copper sector weakness will continue to drag on economic activity. Rising prices will buoy the copper sector heading into 2017 and investment into non-copper sectors will become a key driver of economic growth.
Chile's current account deficit will widen modestly in 2016 as weak copper prices undermine exports. However, a diversifying export base and rising copper prices will support narrowing deficits in the years ahead, while capital inflows support Chile's balance of payments position.
The Chilean peso will gradually strengthen in H216 as copper prices begin to trade higher. Tighter monetary policy and improving investor sentiment toward the region will offer tailwinds in the coming quarters, as a diversifying export base reduces the unit's close...
BMI View: Chile offers the most attractive operating environment among Latin America's major economies. Much of its appeal lies in the absence of powerful criminal gangs, which are present throughout the rest of the continent, resulting in lower security risks and a more limited presence of corruption. A strong rule of law has also provided a basis for robust economic growth and significant inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI), which have been further encouraged by the government's pragmatic policies and the signing of numerous free trade deals. Logistics infrastructure is well developed and more reliable than elsewhere in Latin America, and while the labour force is somewhat smaller, it is better educated and less heavily regulated than in regional peers. Consequently, Chile offers ...
BMI View: Chile offers one of the most secure operating environments in Latin America, boosting its already considerable appeal as an investment destination. Many of the debilitating security threats which plague other states in the region, such as powerful drug cartels and communist insurgencies, have not surfaced in Chile. This is partly due to the country's developed institutions and capable law enforcement agencies, which have been proactive in creating legislation and have also reacted well to security threats. Consequently, the country benefits from limited terrorism risks, low crime rates, and a relatively low impact from financial and cybercrime. While some security gaps do exist, particularly in terms of financial regulations and cybersecurity, these do not pose a major threat to businesses. Chile is therefore a regional outperformer in the...
BMI View: Chile's labour market offers considerable attractions for employers, including a large, urbanised and well educated workforce as well as minimal additional employment costs such as labour taxes. However, there remain key risks to businesses looking to hire staff, mostly posed by the inherent inequality of the education system, the prevalence of trade unions and the difficulty of employing foreign workers. Nevertheless, Chile remains the outperformer in Latin America in the overall BMI Labour Market Risk Index, ranked first with a score of 67.4 out of 100, indicating the lower level of employment risks that businesses will face in the country c...
BMI View: Chile's stable and pro-business government, open markets, developing financial industry and transparent regulatory system result in one of the most attractive investment profiles in Latin America. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is welcomed into many sectors of the economy, and there is little bias in favour of domestic sources of capital. While the country's attractiveness to investors will be undermined by falling demand for one its major export commodities, copper, the strength of the country's institutions and a favourable investment climate will ensure it remains a popular location for FDI in Latin America. Consequently, Chile is a regional outperformer in BMI 's Trade and Investment Risk Index, placed third out of 42 states, with a score of 66.3 out of 100.

BMI View : A strengthening domestic economy, bolstered by rising investment into consumer sectors over the coming five years, leads BMI to adopt a cautiously optimistic stance towards new vehicle sales in Chile over the 2016-19 period. For 2016, we are forecasting a 5% increase in sales, to just under the 300,000 unit mark.

BMI View: As the commodities market recovers and Chile's economy moves back to a stronger growth trajectory over the medium term, we forecast the consumer electronics market will move to a faster trajectory. We envisage a CAGR of 5.9% over 2016-2020, with all three segments expected to be supported by peso appreciation against the US dollar from 2017, which will boost Chilean household purchasing power and increase the affordability of imported devices. The impact could be especially pronounced in the computer hardware and AV markets, where there was the greatest degree of deferred spending during...
BMI View: Chile's domestic defence sector remains small in a global context. Local defence companies are capable of manufacturing a range of equipment - including small arms and ammunitions, electronics, radars and armoured vehicles - though their ability to develop more technologically advanced items remains limited at present. As such, the country continues to rely on foreign suppliers to meet the requirements of its armed forces. Over our forecast period to 2019, we expect security threats associated with conflicts involving...
BMI View: The Chilean food and drink industry will see robust growth over 2016. A strong consumer profile will bolster value growth throughout our forecast period. Premiumisation and health-consciousness will be the core drivers of growth in higher-value categories.

Key Trends...
BMI View : There are signs of growth within the freight industry in Chile and, in particular, in the air and rail sectors, as investment in infrastructure makes way for an increase in demand for the transport of raw materials and agricultural produce. Through the slowdown in China, Chile's biggest export country has taken its toll, the economy is beginning to diversify in order to reduce its reliance on the Asian country and GDP looks set to rise as economic recovery takes shape.
Despite the falling demand for copper, Chile's leading export, the country's GDP is set to grow over the short to medium term as investment in economic recovery takes shape. This will place the country in a strong position in the region to take advantage of...
BMI View: Despite the ongoing slump in copper prices, and the knock-on effect this is having on production of the industrial metal in Chile, we expect that the freight transport sector will enjoy positive growth in volumes in 2016 and over the medium-term forecast period to 2020. This will be driven by private consumption growth and ongoing government investment in transport infrastructure. Air freight will outperform, while growth in road haulage volumes will be flat over the next five years.
Chile will see a real decline in its trade in 2016, driven in large part by the poor outlook for the copper sector. Manufacturing will also be hit, but we expect that demand for imports of consumer goods will hold up fairly well. Labour market reforms will reduce the incidence of industrial action, improving productivity.
Growth in Chilean road haulage volumes will be slow in 2016...
BMI View: Chilean IT spending growth is forecast to accelerate from 2017 and record a CAGR of 7.8% over 2016-2020, a marked improvement over performance since 2014 when economic performance deteriorated as a result of a global commodities slump that hit Chile hard. We expect economic performance to strengthen from 2017, including peso appreciation that will boost sentiment and deliver purchasing power growth to households and help unlock pent-up replacement demand in the hardware segment. Meanwhile, investment from important verticals such as mining, financial services, telecoms and healthcare are all forecast to gain momentum as the economy picks up, with cloud computing services a particularly exciting area for vendors.
Latest Updates & Industry Developments
BMI View: We maintain our positive outlook for Chile's construction sector in 2016 as oil prices remain low and the country's macroeconomics strengthen. Growth in the industry will be driven primarily by ...
BMI View: Chile's insurance market is well developed and home to leading domestic, regional and global insurance providers which boast high levels of capitalisation and extensive marketplace expertise. Demand for both life and non-life insurance is growing, benefiting from wider economic growth in the country as well as cultural shifts which have improved the knowledge and understanding of the potential benefits of insurance cover. We expect to see healthy growth in premiums throughout our forecast period through to 2019 which, along with an increasingly robust regulatory environment, make Chile's insurance market highly attractive to potential investors.
|2012 ...
BMI Industry View: The medical device market is small but per capita expenditure ranks highest in Latin America. We forecast a high single-digit 2014-2019 CAGR in US dollar terms, fuelled by public hospital modernisation. The market will remain reliant on imports as production is limited. Chile has generally...
BMI View: Chile's mining sector value will continue to contract through 2017, on the back of weak mineral prices and elevated operating costs. Nonetheless, country will remain the top global copper producer by a wide margin over our forecast period to 2020.
BMI View: With a lack of below-ground rewards, Chile will suffer from a continued deficit of hydrocarbon supplies and a high dependence on imported energy feedstock. Chile's most immediate opportunities lie in the expansion of their LNG import facilities as a means to meet growing domestic demand. On a longer-term basis, Chile is exploring the possibility of tapping its unconventional resources in the Magallanes...
The Chilean petrochemicals industry will remain a marginal, local player that will struggle to compete on the domestic market. In spite of renewed gas supply deals for the country's methanol sector, feedstock restraints will undermine production and investment and the Chilean market will be import-dependent over the medium-term.
In 2015, a second methanol plant was moved from Chile to the US as Methanex responded to the cuts in gas supply from Argentina. Existing production is being served from local gas fields, but is still subject to seasonal shutdowns during winter as gas is redirected to domestic heating. A gas supply deal was reached in September to ensure feedstock to the methanol industry until April 2006 at least.
Polymer production has never been sufficient to satisfy local demand and this pattern will continue over the forecast period, with imports increasingly important on the Chilean market. Other...
BMI View : Healthcare service provision in Chile will continue to improve steadily. However, development in the public sector will be held up by limited funding, leaving the private sector to continue to dominate the market over the next decade.
Headline Expenditure Projections
Pharmaceuticals: From CLP1,947bn (USD4.0bn) in 2014 to CLP2,103bn (USD3.2bn) in 2015; +8% in local currency terms and -20% in US dollar terms. US dollar forecast revised down due to currency effects.
Healthcare: From CLP11,380bn (USD19.9bn) in 2014 to CLP12,321bn (USD18.7bn) in 2015; +8.3% in local currency terms and -6.4% in US dollar terms. US dollar forecast revised down due to currency effects.
BMI View: Chile will be one of the most attractive power markets in Latin America over the coming decade, owing to its stable business environment and investor-friendly regulations, an upbeat macroeconomic outlook and strong growth in power consumption. The government's use of energy auctions for the regulated market, coupled with energy demand from miners located far from the main power network, will create long-term business opportunities for power developers. Meanwhile, the need to strengthen...
BMI View : The commercial real estate sector in Chile is set to benefit from steady economic growth over the medium term. We expect rents to rise in the retail sector, buoyed by rising private consumption, while the office market is likely to remain stable, but at risk of over-supply given the amount of new construction taking place. The industrial real estate market will be affected by slower growth in trade in the short term, but the growth of e-commerce and the broadening of the industrial base over time should have positive impacts.
Chile's economic growth bottomed out in 2014 and is expected to continue to accelerate on the back of strong investment over coming years. Investment into retail and manufacturing is expected to support the country's real GDP growth through to 2020 as the economy diversifies away from dependence on...
BMI View: Chile will remain a global hot-spot for non-hydro renewables investment over the coming years, due to the country's supportive regulations, high electricity prices, favourable natural conditions and stable business environment. Investor interest in the market remains strong, boosted by Chile's abundance of contract opportunities for power developers.
BMI View: The rising affluence of the Chilean population, combined with the country's open and transparent business environment, will continue to attract retailers to invest in the country. As incomes rise, spending on essentials as a proportion of the total will fall, while non-essential and aspirational spending will increase.
Global economic fluctuations will continue to affect Chile's economy in the near to short-term, while the weak peso will constrain imports. Sustained price reductions in commodities brought about by consumption slowdowns and market volatility in the world's largest markets will see reduced revenues from exports such as copper. However, this is encouraging the Chilean government to rebalance the economy away from the mining sector.
The longer-term economic outlook for Chile remains favourable....
BMI View: The healthy growth registered across Chile's main ports in 2015 is a trend that is set to continue as we head into 2016, as we once again cite the triumvirate of an improving domestic picture, robust macroeconomic fundamentals and various trade agreements as key factors that will boost growth in the shipping industry. The outperforming port in terms of total throughput is set to be San Antonio once more, with the facility penciled in to register 6.9% y-o-y tonnage throughput gains and 5.3% y-o-y box throughput growth.
However, growth is held back by the fact that falling copper prices will lead to tepid Chilean export growth through 2017, as investment into manufacturing output will take years to offset falling commodity export values. That said, imports will slowly grow as capital goods imports increase on the back of investment...
BMI View: Increased access to 3G/4G services, as operators launch LTE in acquired 700MHz spectrum, later in the year, will spur growth in the market. This will trickle down growth in to the mobile broadband segment, in particular, within rural areas. We also anticipate moderate growth to continue in the fixed line services supported by multi-service capabilities of existing infrastructure. The discounting of inactive users will however see negative net subscriber additions in some quarters moving forward.
Latest Updates & Industry...
BMI View: Tourist arrivals will grow by 7.0% in 2016, before moderating in the following years. We believe this slowdown marks a period of consolidation after several years of above-average growth, and do not expect it to alter Chile's positive market fundamentals.
BMI View: This quarter, we have substantially revised and expanded our water forecasts for Chile. We now include wastewater collection and treatment forecasts, and Extraction forecasts. Overall, we view Chile as one of the most attractive markets in the region both for water infrastructure companies and, following the announcement of the potential sale of a key water utility, for water service companies also. However, we highlight that risks remain for industrial consumers, who will continue to face high costs for the construction of water supply and treatment facilities.
Despite a recent slowdown, Chile's water sector continues to report solid growth, driven by strong investment and good government support. A healthy business environment also help Chile outperform in terms of...

Changing character direction
Changing character direction
When we add text to a slide - whether it be inside a text box, a placeholder, or even inside a shape - by default, that text is going to flow from left to right. That is the default, but it can be changed, and there are scenarios where you'll want to be able to do that. We're going to take a look at a couple of them now. With our Orientation presentation, we're going to simply add a new blank slide by clicking the New Slide dropdown, and we'll click Blank, and there it is. We've got a blank slide, and now we'll add a shape. We've done this already. We'll click the Shape button, go down to Block Arrows, and we'll select the third arrow, which is the up arrow, and now we'll just click and drag across and down, so it almost fills the entire slide.
So there's our shape, and we already know to get text inside, we just double-click anywhere inside the shape and start typing. So we'll type in 'Go For Gold,' and you can see, there it is. It...

Drunken duo in motorway mayhem
Relevant offers
Saturday night drinks often result in a few sore heads on Sunday morning but none could compare to that of a 21-year-old Auckland man this weekend.
He and his friend were being driven by a sober driver along the Southwestern Motorway in the early hours of yesterday morning when the driver pulled over to allow one of the men to vomit.
After the man emptied the contents of his stomach, he ran out into traffic, inviting cars to hit him.
Fortunately, he returned to the car unscathed but an argument between he and the other intoxicated male erupted.
His friend opened the car door threatening to jump out and when the car neared Manukau he made good on that threat - jumping out of the car while it sped along at 80kmh.
The 21-year-old was rushed to hospital by ambulance in a critical state. He is expected to make a full recovery.
Police breath tested the driver and the Serious Crash Unit attended the scene. No charges were laid.

Night Walk With The Z990

Was in downtown Sacramento last night and brought my Z990 along. Although I'm much more comfortable shooting in daylight and outdoor scenes, it was fun trying the various settings and did manage to get a few decent shots. All are SOOC, no PP or cropping. Thanks for taking a look.

RUMOR: Jerry Sandusky Pimped Out Boys to Penn State Donors
