The Meeting
Inspired by watching an MP talk for 2 straight hours at the Houses of Parliament in Australia.
The meeting was incredibly boring.
By the end all the MPs were snoring.
With their heads on the table,
Not one there was able,
To stop drool from their open mouths pouring.
Our class didn't fare well at all.
For our attention spans were so small.
While the MP was bleating,
Our hearts near stopped beating,
And we slept through his two-hour drawl.
So, all in all, at that meeting.
Most of what happened was sleeping.
No attention was paid,
No opinions were swayed,
And no voices uttered a peeping.
All slept.

It's actually a rosin core solder that's used. Acid core will cause corrosion of the material being soldered which is not good. Acid core solder is a project such as Plumbing not for electronics. It can also damage electronic components other than the wire beats other day.
I think your comments were very helpful and I have the same understanding is you with me use of acid core solder and electronics. I also have background and electronics and am ham radio operator and home brewer. Please don't hesitate to comment in the future because people can learn from your knowledge.View Instructable »

Construction on the Grand Parade
On June 16, 2007 by Donncha With 2 Comments - Black and White, Canon 20D, Cork, Grand Parade, Ireland, Photos, Sigma 10-20, Street, Urban, Vehicles
Pictured several months ago in February, pedestrians were blocked off from the construction work by high fences but not high enough to stop someone sticking a camera over the top.
This is one of the construction vehicles. Looks like a mix of a forklift and a crane doesn't it?

We'd just finished breakfast when I heard a knock at the front door Faith got up to get it and immediately I regretted it as two squealing girls walked through the front door behind her, Sidney in bright red skinnies and a black and white striped top and Jenny in black skinnies and a bright blue top with some weird picture of a kitten with a green brain sticking out. "Hi girls," I faked a smile and Faith smiled back sympathetically "Jenny was just saying how they thought we should go out to town with them and see the others. What do you think?" I knew exactly what I thought but I could see Faith really wanted to go out so I agreed and we got our coats and left. We wandered into town and found the others hanging out in the usual spot in ASDA's sheltered car park the guy's where skating and I joined in pulling my board out of my backpack while Faith went and stood with the girls.
"aite mate," I said rolling up to Dylan
"alright," he said jumping off his board "how's your girl?" he nodded at Faith who was now sitting on the wall laughing at something one of the others had said, I smiled.
"she's fine I told her about Jase and he came round last night," I sighed "he kicked up a fuss of corse and we had an argument but it's okay now,"
"jeez well just as long as he doesn't try to come down here because he'll get a hell of a kicking," he said menacingly. I smiled. We got back on our boards and pulled a few tricks before the girls got board and started complaining I noticed Faith looking behind us and i turned round and saw him, Jase, immediately I started getting angry "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING HERE?" I shouted
"FREE COUNTRY AINT IT!" he shouted back a strange smile on his face. What was he thinking? I immediately looked at Faith who was all but hidden behind a group of fiery looking girls "oh yeh there you go again trying to defend her and her gang of stupid little sluts," he laughed and I heard and almost inhuman snarl from behind me, Jase flinched slightly but then remained impassive . I wanted to launch myself at him, he had no right to be here "common man just leave it we can leave go back to my place and hangout," Dylan muttered in my ear.
"no this needs to be sorted. Now," I shrugged him off and heard him walk over to the group of girls.
"come on then what are you waiting for," I drawled I knew how he worked and I was going to use that to my advantage "she's mine and there's nothing you can do about it," I smiled, so did he?
"oh really that not how it worked last week when she was kissing me by her locker after school," he grinned. I spun round to look at her and so did everyone else "t...tell me it's not true. Please for god's sake please tell me he's lying," I stared at her long red hair shining in the sunlight and tears streaming from her eyes.
"I...," her voice was choked with tears, "I'm sorry," was all she could say, my vision blurred and the world seemed to tilt the floor rushing up towards me I felt someone's hands catch me and I heard Dylan's voice "calm down mate, breath," he helped me up and things slowly came back into focus. I looked up "im so, so, sorry," Faith was in front of me eyes streaming, "oh god please, it was him, he came at me I couldn't do anything,"
"yeh, corse," I stepped back, "but you were never going to tell me, were you,"

last updated: 2016-10
This guide will discuss how to run Xamarin.UITests on devices attached to your computer.
Both Xamarin Studio and Visual Studio can run tests on devices attached to your computer. This is very similar to running the tests on an Android emulator or iOS simulator.
This guide will cover how to configure your device for testing and how to run the tests using the IDE.
You must first package the APK or IPA before running the test on a local device. The IDE will not build the application bundle prior to running the test.
Xamarin Test Cloud and Xamarin.UITest only support Android and iOS applications. The Windows Phone and Windows versions of Xamarin.Forms apps cannot be tested in Test Cloud.
It is important to understand the concepts described in the Introduction to Xamarin Test Cloud guide.
It is assumed that the most recent stable version of the Xamarin.UITest NuGet Package is installed in the UITest project. It is assume that iOS projects have the most recent version of the Xamarin Test Cloud Agent installed.
- NUnit 2.6.x – Xamarin.UITest is not compatible with NUnit 3.x.
- Android SDK – Only if testing Android apps.
- Java Developers Kit – Only if testing Android apps.
- Xcode Command Line Tools – Only for testing iOS apps.
- NUnit 2.6.x – Xamarin.UITest is not compatible with NUnit 3.x.
- A Test Runner for Visual Studio – A 3rd party test runner, such as the NUnit Test Adapter for NUnit 2 or Resharper from Jetbrains, is required for Visual Studio to be able to run the NUnit tests.
- Android SDK – Only if testing Android apps. Windows requires that the
ANDROID_HOMEenvironment variable is set with the path to the Android SDK.
- Java Developers Kit – Only if testing Android apps.
It is not possible to run UITests for iOS apps in Visual Studio or on Windows.

We have lived abroad for the last 20 years and this is our home base where we come to relax. It is bright and comfortable with high end amenities since we use it ourselves. The year round neighbors are quiet and very nice. The grounds are full of fragrant flowers, always very well maintained and it's just a pleasure to walk to the bluff to watch the sunset or sunrise. People are always running, cycling and walking their dogs on our street and it just feels so lovely. There is a farmer's market every Sunday in the summer and it's just a 10 minute walk away. There is a Frogs Gym across the street and yoga and Pilates studios within a 5 minute walk also. We just love So. Cal! and especially Solana Beach!

New Wave
New Wave is a type of song that appeared in Greece in the early 1960's. The term is a translation of the homonymous film movement "nouvelle vague", which prevailed in France during the 1950's.
It can be considered as a tendency to renew the light song and is characterized by simplicity, with often just a guitar accompanying the singer. Songs were performed at the time in small art galleries, called "boites".
The lyrics of the songs were of erotic, social and political content. The major representatives of the New Wave were Giannis Spanos, Lakis Pappas, Giorgos Zografos, Arleta, Notis Mavroudis, Keti Homata, Giannis Poulopoulos, Michalis Violaris, Rena Koumioti, Kostas Chatzis and others.

Thanks for helping!
This is my second visit here, the workers are really friendly and helpful, the food is great there is both indonesian and western food. The price for the food there is very reasonable, i would definitely recommend this place.
Not actually a 1* place, but i need to being this average down... prices are ABOVE average, service is sub par and the food was bland. My girlfriend and i were given 3 forks, 2 spoons and 1 napkin between the two of us. For pizza?
It's also inside a mall, which should have tipped me off. My best guess,...
for the people who love Indonesian, Italian food .. this is for them . good Indonesian, Italian food to enjoy with family and friends . you should go here once you are in depansar.
My partner and I visited for a quiet lunch.
Having tried many small restaurants in kuta and seeing the fantastic prices displayed on the menu boards at the front, our expectations were not too high.
Once our ordered food came out (chicken breast with veggies and chicken satay) our minds were blown! Perfectly cooked, flavoursome, health conscious and perfectly portioned!...
The food super yummy.. Even without msg!! Healthy and delicious food.. Worth to try.. Definetely will come back 😚😘
Out of the 5 day's we stated, we visited this place thrice.
Regardless of what we tried, 2 things were always constant.
Flavours were on the dot and of high standard, they were not fusion to the local palette.
Portion sizes were generous. Order for 2 and 3 to 4 can easily eat it.
Some of the dishes we tried...
We were disappointed when we returned to find our top chef Jodie had moved on, the restaurant has a new owner. The iPad menu tablet is no longer used but the menu is good, as is the food and reasonably priced. Some of the tapis was over cooked (dried out) but other dishes are good. We will be back
Could you please tell me the name of the two gutarists that play there on saturday nights please they are just wonderful great voices
Our meals were excellent. The restaurant is not large but the quality is full on. We asked about "how spicey" and the chef Jodie arrived at our table and answered . He also tailored the dishes to our specific palates. Needless to say no complaints. The band, 2 guitarists were not overpowering,ask for hotel California and be treated to acoustic...
The food very supprised me
Our family try steak, salmon, pepperoni pizza, quesadilla all very good
The juice fresh
reasonable price

Whatever else, there can be little sentimentality in science. Never mind, then, that Peter Higgs first proposed his "boson" 48 years ago. Never mind that its discovery would explain why matter has mass. And never mind that Professor Higgs is, by all accounts, a charmingly self-effacing person, as well as a sizeable contributor to the sum of human knowledge. The fact remains that, in this context, proof means a less than a one-in-a-million chance of statistical fluke. Researchers at Cern are within a whisker. But that whisker could be crucial; without it, the Higgs boson is still just a theory.
So when it comes to the Nobel Prize, the panel must resist the pressure. By 2013, though – with more tests run and more results gleaned – all may be different. Professor Higgs has waited decades already. What's one more year?

Sydney, Jan 8: Virat Kohli is on a record-breaking spree. The latest from the Indian captain is erasing Rahul Dravid's mark in Australia.
Test scorecard; Kohli sets world record
After scoring his 4th century of the series against Australia on the third day of the fourth and final Test at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on Thursday, Kohli surpassed Dravid. (Day 3 report)
Former captain Dravid had held the record for most runs in a series in Australia, by an Indian batsman, with 619 (2003-04 series). Now that record belongs to Kohli.
The 26-year-old Kohli today brought up his 10th Test ton and later crossed Dravid's tally. Kohli now has 639 runs in 7 innings with 4 hundreds and 1 fifty. And he is not finished for the series. This was Kohli's 3rd in a row as Test captain, which is a world record.
Kohli and Dravid are the only Indian batsmen to aggregate 500 plus runs in a Test series in Australia. In 2003-04, Dravid scored 619 runs with 1 hundred and 3 fifties. His highest was 233 in Adelaide where he guided India to a historic victory. He averaged 123.80 that series.
At close of play on the third day, Kohli was unbeaten on 140 with India 342/5 in 115 overs in reply to Australia's 572/7 declared. Australia have already sealed the series 2-0 with wins in opening two Tests. The third match was drawn.
Most runs by an Indian batsman in a Test series in Australia
- 639* (at close of play on Thursday) in 7 innings - Virat Kohli
- 619 in 8 innings - Rahul Dravid (2003-04)
- 494 in 7 innings - VVS Laxman (2003-04)
- 493 in 8 innings - Sachin Tendulkar (2007-08)
- 473 in 9 innings - GR Viswanath (1977)

Supreme Court justices Stephen Breyer and Elana Kagan talked about their Jewish identities at the opening plenary of the 2014 General Assembly conference of the Jewish Federations of North America.
Speaking before a crowd of more than 2,000 at the conference center just outside Washington, Breyer said the most remarkable thing about there being three Jews among the nine Supreme Court justices is how unremarkable it is in America today.

Kagan, the other justice on the panel discussion moderated by NPR correspondent Nina Totenberg, said that her Jewish identity was the one thing that didn't come up during her confirmation process.
"The one thing nobody ever said, the one thing I never heard was, 'We don't need a third Jewish justice,' or 'There's a problem with that,' " she said. "So that's a wonderful thing. My grandmother would have said 'Only in America.' "
Kagan also talked about her bat mitzvah, crediting Rabbi Shlomo Riskin – then of the Lincoln Square Synagogue on Manhattan's Upper West Side (and now rabbi in Efrat, West Bank), with enabling the ceremony even though that sort of thing was not done in Orthodox synagogues back when Kagan was a kid.
The bat mitzvah wasn't exactly identical to her brother's, Kagan said – it was called a bat Torah, took place on Friday night rather than Saturday and had her chanting the haftarah portion rather than the Torah portion – but it was meaningful and groundbreaking nonetheless.
"We reached a kind of deal: It wasn't a full bar mitzvah, but it was something," she said. "Rabbi Riskin was very gracious, and I think it was good for the synagogue."
Breyer said that when he thinks about what it means to be Jewish in the court, he thinks about the Jewish tradition of tzedakah.
"It's not quite charity," he said, "and it's not quite rule of law either, but it's part of trying to create a better world." Breyer said the great divisions of the world today are between those who believe in the rule of law and those who don't.
"And that is a battle, and we're on the right side of that," he said.
The theme of this year's General Assembly is "The world is our backyard," and speakers will include Vice President Joe Biden and, via satellite, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"This year's G.A. will remind us of why federation is relevant and critical," G.A. co-chair Howard Friedman said.

I love the spin they both put on it. XD
| rainbirds chapter 1 . 10/22/2012
Really amazing-not suprised it's in the best catecory. Lovely characterisation, really funny, wonderful fic. Well done.
| Anon chapter 1 . 8/13/2012
Hahahah. You've really nailed them; and I love the references :) It's funny to see how they play the game with each other & against each other
| Master Of All Imagination chapter 1 . 12/20/2011
Wonderful fic, absolutely wonderful, but I have a question: your passing mention of Crowley pushing Aziraphale into the pond at St. James gave me a great idea for a fic. Would you mind terribly if I borrowed it? All credits given, of course.
| agn1ka1 chapter 1 . 11/21/2011
lol i can so imagine crowley doing that ur a really good writer. keep up the good work!
| twitchy witch chapter 1 . 8/24/2010
OMG, this had me in stitches. Very fun! Especially the duck pond incident. Hee!
| SaltedLily chapter 1 . 11/15/2005
Heh. You've captured the spirit of the Arrangement perfectly. The concept is original, funny and just the littlest bit sweet. Oh, and the footnotes were brilliant. Excellent work.
| Thessaly chapter 1 . 6/15/2005
Cackle. I don't really have much to say, except cackle. So in character...and you have an excellent grasp of footnotes. Bravo.
| Igorina chapter 1 . 2/25/2005
I really enjoyed this fic. The characterisation was spot on. Especially loved this line:
with snow-white wings suddenly spread and as much Righteous Anger that could be mustered by a bathrobed Principality wielding a rolled-up newspaper
The ensuing mental image is going to have me giggling for the rest of the day.
| Mikhyel chapter 1 . 2/14/2005
_ This fic is an example of why I love this fandom so much - it's generally more happy than angsty. When I've been having a bad day (like today), I can read GO fic (like this one, in fact), and I almost always come away with a smile. Thank you!
| TheIncredibleOne chapter 1 . 1/14/2005
YAY! Very nice.
| arressayy chapter 1 . 1/13/2005
Absolutely wonderful! You're really a great writer. You managed to perfectly capture the personalities of Aziraphale and Crowley and the way they get along.
In general, I loved the entire thing, but I have to say that my favorite lines were: "Slowly, gracefully, the jumbled books rose up, swirling gently in the center of the room, like some aerial ballet performed by paper butterflies. One by one, soloists pirouetted away from this elegant dance to slide back into their proper places on the bookshelf..." Beautiful wording there.
Keep up the great work!
| methodic madness chapter 1 . 1/13/2005
"Purfled"? Good word. :)
Loved to the story and the way C & A put their own "spin" on a situation.
| Minor God chapter 1 . 1/13/2005
LOL, aw, so nice, so fuzzy. Not many people can make my sinuses hurt just from smiling. Rock on, you horrible sinus hurter!

SuperMix Bulk Rough
A large bag of color - containing some of the most popular tumbling roughs of all time.
Photo of a typical bag of SuperMix Bulk Rough. It is super colorful, sized, and ready to tumble. Many different types of rough are included in the mix. The rough shown here was photographed wet to show full color.
SuperMix Bulk Rough - Very Colorful!
Size: mostly 1/2 to 2 1/2 inch pieces
In our opinion, this is one of the great bargains on our website. You get a 20 pound bag of mixed tumbling rough for $79.99. In that bag you will find several materials that have been favorite tumbling roughs for the past fifty years - in pieces that range from 1/2 inch up to about 2 1/2 inches.
Your bag of rough will contain a colorful mix that includes several different materials - similar to the photo above (photographed wet to show full color). Here is a list of some of the roughs that are typically found in a bag of this mix: banded amethyst, gold tiger eye, red jasper, picture jasper, green aventurine, rose quartz, sodalite, unakite, white quartz and more. Every bag is different and every bag has lots of diverse color.
The size of this rough ranges from about 1/2 inch up to about 2 1/2 inches in maximum dimension. Most of the pieces range from between 1 inch and 2 inches - just the right size to make nice tumbled stones. Rough of this size tumbles best in a six-pound or larger capacity barrel, but it can be successfully tumbled in barrels down to 3-pound capacity if you are patient, include small pieces (or media) in the barrel and are willing to run the coarse grit step at least twice. Big pieces of rough require extra time in the tumbler for shaping and smoothing.
When we tumble this mix we add 20% to 30% large ceramic media to the barrel. The ceramic cylinders get between the large pieces of rough. They deliver grit to the surface of the rough and act like roller-bearings to improve the tumbling action.
We add a little more coarse grit than normal and a little more water, then tumble for two weeks straight before opening the barrel for inspection. That should wear off the sharp edges and just begin sanding the surfaces. We then tumble for at least two more weeks in coarse grit to get nice rounded tumbles. Nice tumbles require time and patience. In our opinion, this rough is extra nice and is worth the wait.
After coarse grind we tumble one week in medium, one week in fine and one week in TXP polish - an aluminum oxide compound. When we change grit, we simply rinse the ceramic media with the rocks and add it back into the barrel for the next step.
The rough material in the photograph above was photographed wet to show full color.

Yes, "the publishing landscape is shifting," Darnton admits. But new media do not necessarily replace existing ones, he argues. The future is digital, but it can coexist with print media, notwithstanding the grim status of newspapers. Darnton notes that the "old-fashioned, pre-modern book" is "the best preservation system ever invented." Copyright and privacy laws, not perfect, will help books survive, Darnton predicts. I hope he is correct.
Writers and readers will applaud Darnton's hopeful brief for books. Predictions for their demise may be overstated, to turn an old phrase. More people than ever before are literate, and wealthy enough to buy books. But the economics of publishing may change the public's preference from the old-fashioned paper product I love to hold and read to the more versatile and economic electronic library soon to be available on Kindle-like, Google-supplied electronic books. The publishing world will need to adapt more fundamentally than it has if Darnton's world of letters is to survive.

Originally posted on Celtics 24/7 | Last updated 10/23/12
The Celtics have reached a deal with Leandro Barbosa for the league minimum. What kind of impact will the veteran guard have on his new team? Probably not a large one. Not to take anything away from Barbosa, but the Celtics are loaded at the guard positions heading into the season. Plus, Barbosa is a huge liability on defense and really the only thing he would be able to contribute is scoring. Back to Boston's depth in the backcourt though. There are already plenty of options for Doc Rivers. Rajon Rondo is the obvious starter at the point, while Avery Bradley is working himself back to health and will be the primary backup once back at full strength. At the two, the Celtics brought in both Courtney Lee and Jason Terry. Lee will begin the season as the starter, with Terry coming off the bench to ignite the team, a role he fulfilled perfectly for the Dallas Mavericks. Basically, Barbosa could get minutes here and there, but only until Bradley returns. The team is hoping that Bradley will be good to go by mid-December, so there's a chance Barbosa will get to show what he's capable of for a couple months, perhaps paving the way for extra minutes down the road. Nonetheless, it's always nice to add an experienced scorer for the league minimum, so Rivers has to be pleased with the deal. Management didn't have to bend over backwards to bring him on board, and he'll provide scoring and has also been praised for his team-first mentality. Barbosa aside, the Celtics are in for a great season. They'll be making money with people's NBA picks all year long, as they've re-tooled their roster nicely and now have an interesting mix of veteran talent and promising young players.

Satellite Communications Technicians spend their days testing and repairing satellite communication equipment to ensure that the units are working at peak efficiency and meet the specifications required of the equipment. The satellite equipment can belong to the government or private business firms. Day-to-day duties include making adjustments to data and audio levels, repairing any faulty parts and diagnosing equipment malfunctions of the components. Additionally, technicians' responsibilities include preventative maintenance and installation of new hardware and equipment. They have an understanding of the hardware's capabilities and limitations. Keeping this delicate communications equipment working properly is their main function. These technicians tend to work full-time with overtime occasionally required. While many technicians work during regular business hours, there are instances when immediate repairs are required outside of those hours.
Generally companies are looking for Satellite Communications Technicians who have a technical school degree in the field or who possess an associate degree in satellite communication with at least five years of experience. Some employers require at least a bachelor's degree and provide on-the-job training. If the company does offer on-the-job training, new hires will be paired with an experienced technician who will help to teach the basic tasks of setting up and troubleshooting satellite communication equipment.
As the electronics industry expands and creates new devices dependent upon satellite communication, this field is expected to grow at a rapid rate. The job market for Satellite Communications Technicians is expected to grow by 30 percent in the coming years, well above the national average for all occupations. There are several niches and similar fields that also offer growth including Telecommunication Analyst and Telecommunications Business System Analyst.
Recent statistics show that workers who specialize as Satellite Communications Technicians receive a median salary of $54,530 a year. Salaries for this position vary from $30,840 on the low end of the scale to $75,040 on the high end.

Dear Shareholders,
40 years on and as we enter into the 5th decade of operations, Hai-O remains committed to the values on which Hai-O was founded that have brought us from our humble beginnings in Klang to a well-known household name. In our pursuit of building a sustainable business through various operational changes and transformation programs, the Group delivered a respectable operating performance for the financial year ended ("FYE") 2016:
The above results were achieved during a tough operating environment amidst various unwelcoming challenges which continue to linger; weaker Ringgit, softening of consumer sentiment and slowdown in economic conditions. The strong foundation that the Group has built over the years enabled the Group to address these challenges and record the results
achieved in FYE 2016. With a strong operating cash flow, continuous implementation of management strategies for efficiency improvement, the Board believes that the Group is well-positioned to sustain a satisfactory progress at the least, over the medium term.
Being the newly appointed Managing Director, I am honoured to be entrusted with the task of steering the Hai-O Group into its next phase of growth and lead the talented and dedicated members of the Hai-O family in this endeavour. In the following sections, I will bring you through the overview of the Group's financial performance for FYE 2016, followed by a detailed business and operation discussion of our core operating segments in Multi-Level Marketing ("MLM"), Wholesale and Retail and also cover briefly on the other businesses which are not core to our overall operations currently but has good potential to provide better contribution to the Group in the future.
The MLM segment contribution in revenue increased and accounted for 66.6% (2015: 56.5%) of the Group's total revenue of RM297.6 million, while the Wholesale and Retail segments contributed approximately 18.3% (2015: 23.6%) and 12.9% (2015:16.9%) respectively to the Group's revenue for the FYE 2016. The increase in the Group's revenue by approximately 24.1% for the FYE 2016 was primarily driven by the sales volume achieved under the MLM segment which is a testament of our product centricity on "small ticket" consumer items strategy implemented since 2014. Both the Wholesale and Retail segments contributions were affected by subdued consumer sentiment post implementation of the Goods and Services Tax ("GST").
The Group reported a Profit Before Tax ("PBT") of RM49.1 million for FYE 2016 (2015: RM42.7 million), an improvement of 15.0% as compared to the previous financial year. The improvement in PBT was notably due to the increase in revenue from the MLM segment but was negatively affected by higher cost of operations in both the Wholesale and Retail segments. The PBT has not increased in tandem with the revenue growth rate because of lower sales from Wholesale and Retail segments coupled with higher operating costs, one off expenses incurred for the 40th anniversary celebration and higher expenses incurred for CSR activities. Nonetheless, an improvement of 15.0% in PBT under the existing operating environment is commendable.
Shareholders' Equity
Shareholders' equity attributable to owners of the Company was RM257.4 million as at 30 April 2016 (2015: RM253.9 million). This is an improvement of 1.4% or RM3.5 million. The shareholders' equity of the Group as at 30 April 2016 as compared to the previous financial year did not improve significantly due to the distribution of approximately 80% of net profit earned during the FYE 2016 as dividend. In addition, approximately 10.7% of the net profit earned during the FYE 2016 was utilised to repurchase our Company's shares for the financial year under review. As a result, net of the fund used for dividend payment and share buy-back, the net assets per share of the Group improved marginally to RM1.33 as at 30 April 2016 (2015: RM1.30).
Cash Flows
Cash balances and short term investments in the form of financial assets of the Group were RM53.7 million and RM53.8 million respectively at the close of FYE 2016. This represents an amount of RM107.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and short term investments. The high cash balance of the Group is a norm for businesses which are cash generative in nature taking into account that our MLM segment is the main driver of the Group's revenue. Apart from a small amount of working capital facility which remained outstanding as at the close of FYE 2016 of
RM1.1 million, there were no other borrowings as at 30 April 2016. With our strong cash flow position, Hai-O Group is well positioned to tap on any new growth opportunities.
For the FYE 2016, despite the challenging business environment, the MLM segment managed to deliver a set of respectable results
where the revenue contributed by the MLM segment increased by 46.3% from RM135.6 million to RM198.3 million and the PBT increased by 26.8% from RM28.8 million to RM36.5 million. Our new strategy to switch focus from "big ticket" items to "small ticket" consumer items has reaped results as sales volume from "small ticket" consumer items contributing to about 70% of the overall MLM sales for FYE 2016.
Our transformation program is building a good momentum. Our primary objective is to build a sustainable business for the MLM segment and move away from over relying on "big ticket" items to drive revenue and bottom line. The first phase of our transformation journey is essentially done and I am proud that our goal to reduce reliance on "big ticket" products is reaping results. A lot of work and resources had gone towards making this a reality, and we have made it a priority to ensure sustainability of our business while offering good products to our members.
In FYE 2016, the operations of the MLM business were essentially driven by three (3) strategic pillars:
Dynamism of Products - We recognise that we need dynamism in our products to cater to the ever changing expectations of consumers. During the year under review, we have successfully re-engineered some of our best-selling products formulation with the aim to offer better quality products to our members. Resources were placed to re-brand, re-package and re-formulate "Health" and "Beauty" range of products. "Celgynic Gold", a supplement for both health and beauty which combines the goodness of the East and the West with a blend of Chinese traditional herbs such as Lingzhi, Cordyceps, American Ginseng and Letcithin, was officially launched during our "Sales Manager and Senior Sales Manager Recognition Ceremony" in conjunction with the International Women's Day 2016 in March 2016. For better product recognition, we have consolidated the branding for our mineral coffee under "Min KAFFE" which was previously marketed under different brandings in Malaysia and outside Malaysia. With the consolidation of the branding of our mineral coffee under "Min KAFFE", we expect to achieve cost efficiency in promoting the product in terms of advertising and promotion for enhancement of product identity.
In respect of our "Beauty" range of products, the Bio-Ever™ Plus was introduced and launched during the FYE 2016. Bio-Ever™ Plus is our newly developed revitalising and anti-aging cream which contains natural ingredients such as Japanese longevity grass, wild soy, wild yam and Centella Asiatica. To further drive revenue growth, we have also introduced and increased the product offering under our popular Premium Beautiful lingerie series.
For product development, we have launched the Cozuma Mattifying Lipstick and Cozuma Glitzy Shine Lip Gloss under the Beauty range of products in 2015/2016, and attained Halal certifications for six (6) additional products. These products are BB Plus, Min KAFFE, Bio-Ever™ Plus and MA range of toothpaste, body wash and shampoo.
The outstanding quality of our products was recognised by the "Readers' Choice Award" under the Natural Health magazine in its November 2015 issue. A total of eight (8) products marketed under Sahajidah Hai-O Marketing were recognised as "Readers' Choice" and these include the Bio-Evolve Water Purification System, Premium Beautiful Foundation Lingerie Series, Marine Essence Bamboo Salt Nourishing Shampoo and Body Wash and Bio Seleza Feminine Pad Series.
Entrepreneurial Distributor Force - As of 30 April 2015, our team consist of 53,000 core distributors. Our distributor force grew steadily at an average of 3,000 members a month in FYE 2016. I am proud to say that we have grown significantly in terms of member recruitment and we have 83,000 members as at 30 April 2016. This represents an increase of 56.6% from the previous year. The significant increase in members during the financial year under review, is again, the result of our transformation program to focus on "small ticket" consumer products which
appealed to a wider group of entrepreneurs, where only an affordable capital outlay is required to be part of the family of Sahajidah Hai-O Marketing.
Majority of Sahajidah Hai-O Marketing's entrepreneur distributors are relatively young and energetic, which is invaluable to our MLM business that sets the foundation for future growth and business sustainability. For the FYE 2016, more than 600 members of our dynamic distributor force achieved the ranking at the top 3 tiers of our hierarchy of entrepreneurship, i.e. Crown Diamond Manager, Double Diamond Manager and Diamond Sales Manager.
Since 1993, when the incentive trip program was first introduced to reward our entrepreneur members, a total of approximately 16,000 members were rewarded with well-deserved holidays to over 60 destinations world-wide. For the FYE 2016, the incentive trip program to Bangkok hit a snag because of the unfortunate bombing at the Erawan Shrine just one day before the departure for the said trip. In Hai-O, we showed strong commitment to our members and nothing comes ahead of our members' safety. The management took the decision to cancel the trip to Bangkok despite the Group having to bear a hefty cancellation penalty. But we know it was the right decision to make for the safety of our members. In order not to disappoint the 735 qualified members who had shown their commitment in achieving the sales target, the trip to Bangkok was replaced by a trip to Vietnam. The change to a new tour destination for the 735 participants in a short time span was only possible with the help and dedication of the organising committee. My sincere appreciation goes to the organising committee for the job well done.
Apart from Vietnam, another premier incentive trip was also organised to Osaka, Japan, where 348 entrepreneurs qualified and were awarded the trip to Osaka.
We are committed to talent development within our Group. Our training programs provide new and long standing members with a deep sense of products offering, ethics and knowledge of the business. We continue to believe that talent development will be pivotal to the continued growth of the MLM segment for the future.
Versatile Distribution Support - As our MLM business is growing, we realised that we require a distribution platform that is able to support our members to become more efficient and effective. During the financial year under review, efforts had been initiated to upgrade our IT infrastructure platform to enhance buying experience for our members while future-proofing our business to be more entrenched in the e-commerce business. Technology is changing our world and we are seeing how technology revolutionises the buying patterns of the consumers. Social media is used to position ourselves more significantly in the daily lives of our members and the outcome of this effort resulted in more than 6,000 e-commerce sales transacted during FYE 2016 with a transaction value of more than RM3 million in sales.
In terms of our traditional distribution network branches, we are in the process of upgrading our network branches. The conceptual layout is to build a one-stop centre for distribution, information hub and training venue for the MLM business. We are currently undertaking internal management assessment on the required resources to revamp and refurnish our existing branches to improve the efficiency of space and system, to support the growing number of member force and at the same time to increase the visibility of Sahajidah Hai-O Marketing. Currently, we have 32 branches, stockists and sales points across Malaysia, and have also set our foothold in Indonesia, Singapore and Brunei.
Our next transformation strategy, which is currently in the early stage of planning is to have a comprehensive distribution network which spans the length and breadth of the country, ensuring that our brands are available in major towns in Malaysia. The upgrading initiatives were kick-started with the upgrading of the Kuantan branch in FYE 2015 followed by the Kota Kinabalu branch and the Miri branch in FYE 2016. Upgrading and revamping of branches will be carried out in stages and I expect this transformation phase to be implemented within the next 2 to 3 years. The improved layout and system of the MLM branches with standardised corporate identity will be the backbone of our future branch expansion and model for our overseas operations. As our overseas operation is still in its infancy, it had not contributed significantly to the Group's revenue and profit for the year.
The Wholesale segment apart from being the holder of some exclusive distribution rights for Chinese medicated tonic, also
distributes tea and precious herbs. The Wholesale segment continues to play an important role in supporting the sourcing of products for the MLM and Retail segments which is the key in ensuring the MLM and Retail segments have continuous supply of goods for their respective operations. For FYE 2016, Wholesale segment revenue of RM54.4 million, decreased marginally as compared to the previous financial year (2015: RM56.6 million). The decrease in revenue of the Wholesale segment was mainly caused by lower demand of Chinese medicated tonic and patented medicine. Despite the marginal decrease in revenue under the Wholesale segment, the PBT decreased to RM5.9 million as opposed to RM6.4 million a year ago, which was primarily affected by margin compression from the depreciation of Ringgit against USD and Renminbi. On an overall basis, the operating expenses for the Wholesale segment were higher for the FYE 2016 owing to general escalation in costs, one-off expenses incurred for the 40th anniversary celebration as well as higher expenses for the CSR activities.
For the FYE 2016, the Wholesale segment continued to implement various strategies including strengthening product agencies, promoting healthcare products for young customers, and expanding e-commerce sales.
We have added some new agencies during the year. These included Yanghe Blue Classic Series from China and Kavalan whiskies from Taiwan. We are the exclusive agent for Yanghe Blue Classic Series and is also one of the two exclusive distribution agents for Kavalan whiskies. Apart from wine, whiskies have gained popularity among the younger generation and Kavalan whiskies, which have won many international awards, are very well received by the local market.
Akin to our MLM segment, our e-commerce platform under the Wholesale segment had also received more attention from our customers. Although the transactions via e-commerce platform were still small under the Wholesale segment in FYE 2016, we believe our e-commerce platform together with regular updates and promotional activities from social media, will continue to grow in its popularity due to the changing buying patterns of customers.
For the next financial year, we hope to explore further business opportunities with our principals and business partners in China to widen our products distribution base and strengthen our agencies relationship during this period of strong bilateral-ties between Malaysia and China.
Our Retail segment is supported by our 58 branches and franchises network across Malaysia which acted as our "branding agent" throughout the country. Similar to many retail businesses in Malaysia, we saw a weaker year for the Retail segment in 2016. Revenue for this segment decreased by 5.7% from RM40.6 million a year ago to RM38.3 million in FYE 2016. The decrease in revenue for the year had been anticipated as consumers were frontloading consumption spending prior to the implementation of the GST in April 2015. As households adjusted their spending to the higher cost of living following the implementation of the GST and depreciation in the Ringgit, sales from our Retail segment were weighed down accordingly.
We also experienced a more drastic drop in the PBT of 31.3% during the financial under review from RM2.6 million to RM1.8 million. Multiple factors had contributed to this result, including the slow-down in sales and the increase in cost of operations in particular rental for tenanted premises and wages which compressed operating margins significantly.
In view of the slow-down in the overall retail business, we only added one (1) new chain store during the year. The new outlet in Bukit Gambir, Penang was officially opened on 8 January 2016.
Our loyalty programme - Hai-O Friendship has more than 103,000 members as at 30 April 2016. Our customer base expansion was further reinforced with the use of social media to promote regular promotional activities and products awareness. We had during the year, replaced short messaging service ("SMS") with Wechat platform to reach out to our customers resulting in a similar coverage while attaining cost saving. We will continue to make effective use of social media to reduce reliance on the traditional advertisement and promotional activities.
On top of our regular promotional activities in our chain stores, we have also worked with different business affiliates such as Tai Thong Group, HN Confinement Care Centre and Public Bank Berhad to further entrench our brand. Some of the promotional activities held during the year were rewarding eligible Tai Thong's customers with discount to purchase selected goods at our chain stores and marketing of confinement herbal products at HN Confinement Care Centre. The promotion campaign with Public Bank Berhad was in a form of "cash back" for Public Bank credit card holders. In addition, product road shows were undertaken to tap the young customers market where road shows were held at the Association of Huazhong Youth and University Putra Malaysia.
During the year, we continued to focus on initiatives to attract and retain the right calibre of talents. Business sustainability necessitated us to build a talent pool, and FYE 2016 marked the opening of the first model shop in Muar under our Employee Entrepreneur Program which is a program to groom employees to own and operate chain stores. The Employee Entrepreneur Program is to complement our franchise concept for branch network expansion. On a separate note, under our In-House Certification Training Program, we have identified 19 employees to be trained for progression to become outlet supervisors, which formed part of our succession planning for outlet operations.
In addition to MLM, Wholesale and Retail businesses which are core to our operations, under the "Other Operating" segment, we
also derive revenue from rental of investment properties, manufacturing of pharmaceutical products, credit leasing and advertising services. Revenue from other operating business of RM6.7 million for the FYE 2016 decreased by 5.5% from RM7.1 million as compared to the last financial year. Nevertheless, PBT for this segment was maintained at RM4.9 million (2015: RM4.9 million). PBT contribution from "Other Operating" segment had been maintained despite a drop in revenue, primarily due to the improvement in efficiency of our manufacturing plants which had turnaround from a loss position to being profitable. Our manufacturing activities expanded upon the surge in demand for healthcare products from our MLM segment. We currently have two (2) manufacturing plants for manufacturing of pharmaceutical products. Both of our plants are certified with Good Manufacturing Practice ("GMP") status while the newly set-up plant in Jalan Kapar is Halal certified. Currently, the manufacturing plants are still operating below their optimum level and saddled with high depreciation expenses when the new plant in Jalan Kapar was commissioned in FYE 2014. Once the depreciation expenses taper off and coupled with the improvement in production efficiency over time, we expect to see
a higher contribution from our manufacturing activities. We hope our manufacturing activities which complement other business segments, will play a more significant role in the future.
I echo the view of our Chairman in respect of the uncertainties hovering the local economy and market which will impact our operating environment. The Ringgit continues to decline against major foreign currencies as crude oil prices fluctuate with no stability in sight and political woes hogged the headlines, a sphere which is constantly under disruption and requires proactive adjustments for business realities. According to Bank Negara Malaysia, the global economy continues to record growth but would be at a more moderate pace. Looking ahead, global growth prospects have also become more susceptible to increased downside risks in light of possible repercussions from the European Union referendum in the United Kingdom.
For Malaysia, domestic demand continues to be the main driver of growth. Overall, while domestic economy remains on track to
expand in 2016 and 2017, but the uncertainties in the global environment could weigh on Malaysia's growth prospects. To boost growth and contain inflation rate, Bank Negara Malaysia
had recently announced a reduction in the Overnight Policy Rate to 3.0%, but expected growth rate to remain between 4.0% - 4.5%.
While we expect the coming year to be a challenging one, one should look beyond the immediate horizon. I am confident that together with the highly competent members of the Board and management, Hai-O Group will continue to drive a culture of high performance and continuous improvement. I am fully aware that while adaptability in gaining strategic foothold is vital for sustainability and ensuring competitive edge, it needs to be complemented with measures that bolster its underlying fundamentals. Hence, for the coming year, our business strategies are written with the objectives to foster growth while preserving fundamentals.
For the MLM segment, we will embark on the 2nd phase of upgrading the IT infrastructure, where focus will be on the stockist and distributor management system to enhance member portal to be more user-friendly. On-going efforts will be undertaken to improve the layout of the MLM branches to improve brand visibility and buying experience of the members. In addition, we intend to set up warehousing facilities in the southern and northern regions within Peninsular Malaysia to facilitate logistic efficiency in view of the growing number of members and transactions. For the coming financial year, we are expecting business activities in the Wholesale and Retail segments to be affected by the continuous adjustments of spending by consumers to an environment of higher prices as a result of implementation of the GST, and greater uncertainties both locally and externally. Hence, with the business strategies in place for the Wholesale and Retail segments, the Group will be well positioned
to seize suitable opportunities when it arises in the future. We will work closely with our business affiliates in China to strengthen business ties to expand products offering. Focus will also be placed on talent management to build a team of future ready talents for our retail outlets.
This marks my first year as the Managing Director of Hai-O and I would like to thank our Chairman, Mr. Tan Kai Hee, who is also my mentor, for his close involvement and guidance during this transition period. On the same note, I would like to congratulate Mr. Tan for being named as one of the "Global Outstanding Ethnic Chinese Elites 2016" by the "Global Outstanding Chinese Association" and "China Wenxian Publishing House". Finally, on behalf of the Board, I wish to thank our management, employees and members of Sahajidah Hai-O Marketing for their tremendous
efforts, dedication and pursuit of excellence. The Group would not have been able to achieve the current set of financial results without their committed efforts, especially in such a demanding business environment. I would also like to convey my sincere thanks and appreciation to all our shareholders, customers, distributors, investors, business partners and stakeholders for their confidence and their continued support to the Hai-O Group. To my fellow Directors, as always, thank you for your invaluable support and wise counsel throughout the year.

2 Big Steps to Saving Major $ in the Mail
I know you've heard it this year: the directive to spend less money in the mail! But at the same time, you're also asked to somehow maintain or even increase ROI with your direct mail program. Whether it's because you need to spend more money in other channels — notably, email — than in previous years or simply because the economic pressures have come to bear, there's never been a better time to closely examine your mail program and look where you can save money.
On Tuesday, the strategy to meet that challenge was thoroughly covered in the "Saving Major $ in the Mail" DirectMarketingIQ webinar, which is available on-demand for the next 90 days. Two direct mail and postal experts — David Mastervich, manager of catalogs and saturation mail for the USPS, and Mike Ertel, Vice President of Sales for IWCO Direct — discussed the key steps to take in order to reduce direct mail costs, yet maintain solid response rates.
Here are a few of the many that were mentioned:
1. Don't reduce your direct mail volume! Stay in the mail!
Often, in a budget-slashing gesture, direct mail programs get cut down. Either the total volume is decreased, certain campaigns are put on the back burner or killed, and money is handed over to digital channels.
Mastervich says this is a big mistake. While "integrating" your marketing is more key than ever, that doesn't mean that your company should be downsizing its direct mail program. Conversely, in this digital world, direct mail still has the greatest chance to stand out. While the image of "junk mail" filling the mailbox and swarming the kitchen table still lingers, it's no longer true.
Rather, most Americans are in the midst of digital overload. Social media, email and mobile phones eat up a big section of everyone's day. Along with TV, radio, billboards and other media, the average prospects gets hit by over 3,000 messages a day.

New figures out today show that house buying lending in Wales is at its highest for the July-September period since 2007, in Scotland since 2008, and in Northern Ireland since 2009.
The report from the Council of Mortgage Lenders shows that first-time buyer figures in Wales continued to rise, with more receiving loans between July and September this year 2013 than any three month period since 2007.
Scotland also saw first-time buyer and other home mover levels increase, with overall home-owner lending for house purchase increasing by 23 per cent year-on year.
Iain Malloch, chair of CML Scotland, said: "It is encouraging to see the Scottish market returning to normal lending levels as economic conditions improve. As with the rest of the UK, it is important to note lending is still only just above half the levels seen during the peak of the market so talk of increased lending over-heating the housing market may be premature.
"In the early part of the year, the market was being driven by first-time buyers. It is welcome now to see home mover and remortgage lending showing increased levels after a period of stagnation suggesting the upward trend will continue into the new year."
A total of 2,800 loans worth £240m were made for house purchase in Northern Ireland, over this three month period, an increase of 22 per cent compared to both the previous three months and the same time last year. Loans to first-time buyers were up 20 per cent compared to last year.
Mortgage lending in London followed a similar upward trend to the rest of the UK. The 13,100 loans made to first-time buyers in London between July and September marked an increase of 24 per cent on the previous three months and a rise of 32 per cent compared to the same time in 2012.
First-time buyers make up a larger proportion of house purchase loans in London, 55 per cent compared to 44 per cent in the UK overall.
"The increase in lending for house purchase in London seems broadly consistent with UK-wide upward trends," said CML director general Paul Smee. "First-time buyers were the key driver in the first half of the year in London but remortgagors and home movers have shown greater signs of life this quarter."

Police: Knife-wielding man robs hospital gift shop
MELBOURNE, Fla. - Melbourne police said they arrested a man accused of robbing a hospital gift shop at knifepoint.
Police said Robert Wallace walked into the Wuesthoff Hospital gift shop Monday, held a knife to the clerk and demanded money.
The clerk was not injured.
An officer said he later spotted Wallace riding a bicycle on Wickham Road, but when he tried to stop him, Wallace made a run for it.
"Had a K-9 respond and the Brevard County Sheriff's Aviation Unit, and after a little bit of a search in the woods, we were able to find the suspect," said Sgt. Sheridan Shelley of the Melbourne Police Department. "We did find an undisclosed amount of money on this individual as well as a knife. Unknown if this is the knife that was used in the robbery."
Wallace was arrested on charges of armed robbery and resisting an officer with violence.

Finally! We've learned the national curiosity into Sammy Sosa's face has reached the university level via a presentation over the weekend from Connecticut College professor Jennifer Domino Rudolph. Rudolph's report, Sammy Sosa's Cream: Gender Aesthetics and Racial Mixing in the Same Body, was presented Saturday at the Critical Mixed Race Studies conference at DePaul University in Chicago. According to Rudolph's professor page, Sosa seems to be the perfect research subject. Rudolph's research interests include U.S. Latino expressive cultures, Latino identity formation, transnationalism, urban studies, and teaching Spanish to heritage/native speakers. She is working on a documentary about the Latino first generation in Chicago. BC has spent the better part of three years on the Sammy Sosa face trail. It seems the bleaching has stopped or he has reached a level of ultimate whiteness for a Latino male who had such dark black skin. We've emailed Ms. Rudolph a couple questions about her research. Standby. This was Sam's face on Tuesday. [@EddieN120] Filed under: Baseball
