Borderlands 2 - Mechromancer
I'm sure that many of you are aware of the hit title that is Borderlands 2 with most games review sites giving it top marks it is hard to see how anyone could resist it.
Well today Gearbox announced that they were releasing some new downloadable content, the Mechromancer which is available to purchase or if you decided to buy the season pass or pre-ordered early and were entered into the Premiere Club will be available for free through that. It has caught a lot of people off guard since Gearbox decided to release it earlier than planned as it was originally set for release on the 16th of October (a week early)
You will be able to play the Mechromancer (her name is Gaige) within the normal game and Gearbox have put a lot of work into the character giving her a brand spanking new skill tree (those who are familiar to the game will understand this). For more information see here http://www.borderlands2.com/us/skilltree/mechromancer.html
She will be the 5th playable character within borderlands 2 and will come with some cool skills, one of skills I'm looking forward to using is the ability to launch a kick ass robot called Death Trap who will help you defeat your enemies.

Efile IRS Tax Form 2290 Truck Tax | Highway Heavy Vehicle Use Tax(HVUT)
Etax2290.com is the IRS authorized efile provider for form 2290 truck tax otherwise called as heavy vehicle use tax(hvut) return. It comes from a series of tax e-file services provided by
yakshna solutions inc, which is a leading provider in the tax industry. There are customized packages available for fleet owners as well as tax professionals to file their road tax return with ease. It provides
bulk filing features for large fleet owners and 24/7 customer support over
phone, chat and email.
File form 2290 with etax2290 today and receive stamped schedule1 from IRS in minutes!
Posted by Admin on 6. August 2012 14:35
ETax2290 completely understands. Your business was booming, you were reeling in all the profits from your company's hard work; therefore, you decided to move to a larger and more prominent location. Like we said earlier: we understand. Companies constantly pack up their old offices and end up unpacking in a new space with more offices and larger desks. And just because your business has made such large improvements does not mean your company should lose out on refunds or be penalized because the Internal Revenue Service was not completely aware of your transition. Therefore, ETax2290 strongly urges for all customers to ensure that their business information, especially address, is up to date in the IRS's records. For those who do not know how to do so, we have decided to create a walk-through tutorial!
ETax2290 allows customers to change their business information, including business address, while they e-file a form 2290. And it is actually quite simple. When a customer is filling out the beginning portion of their Form 2290 where they input all information related to their business (business name, address, EIN, contact number, etc), they should accurately fill in all the necessary information. Once they click "Save & Continue" they will approach another screen that asks questions like the filing year and first month of use. Another question asked is "Address Change," if the filer inputs an address dissimilar to the address filed with last year, then the filer must select this option. Once they do that, the new address will be recognized as the official address of the business.
Now, if a customer decides that they do not want to change their address through our website we have listed a few other options below:
•Form 8822-B: A filer can submit the Form 8822-B to the IRS in order to request an address change.
•Notification in writing: Customers are also given the option of writing in a request for change. They must simply send a written statement to the IRS with their full name, old address, social security number and EIN.
•Oral Notification: Customers are able to change their address in person or over the phone, all they must do is provide the correct information requested by the service employee.
•E-notification: IRS approved applications like "Where's My Refund" enables submission of new address information.
•USPS: If you had provided your new address information to the U.S Postal Service, it retains in its National Change of Address database and IRS automatically updates its database with the same. However, it's still a good idea to notify IRS of your new address even if you have informed the USPS.

Practically everyone has experienced a desire to feel and appear more beautiful. No one tries to look bad. There are a myriad of ways one can achieve beauty, and improve their already attractive selves. Find out about different solutions in this article, and pick the one that corresponds to your beauty needs.
Remember to exfoliate before applying fake tan to your skin. By utilizing this, you will notice that your skin will become more smooth because the dead skin cells are being removed. The result will be a better looking artificial tan. It will also look more real and last longer for you.
Purchase an eyelash curler. Many people forget about how fantastic they can make their eyelashes appear by using a curler. These curlers can brighten up and increase the size of your eyes. You can also buy a heated curler which supposedly keep your eyelashes curled for a longer amount of time.
Symmetry is the key to beauty. That means that in order to look as beautiful as possible, it's important to keep things symmetrical. You goal is to have both sides of your face be identical to each other.
Apply black or brown mascara to your lashes to brighten up your eyes and draw all attention to them. Invest in some disposable mascara wands; they're great for clearing away clumps or adding definition to your lashes later in the night.
Both leave exposed follicles, which can lead to greater problems. This can cause severe irritation. Also stay away from products that have a strong scent after you sugar or wax, they will also lead to irritation that can be hard to find relief from.
You should always have vitamin E on hand. It has many different uses. It is helpful in making your skin soft. If you want your cuticles to look their best, applying some vitamin E will prevent cracking.
Face Appear
Even your hairstyle and color can be adjusted to make a full face appear more slender and narrow. A haircut featuring sleek, long lines will help your face appear to be more slender. Highlights or lowlights to frame your face can also be added. This will draw attention to these facial features.
A great tip when it comes to making your makeup last longer is to mix in moisturizer with your foundation. This also changes how the makeup looks and increases the foundation's ability to protect your skin from the sun.
Drink an adequate amount of fluid each day for fresh, flawless skin. When you skin is dehydrated, the stress will make it look wrinkled, dry and dull. You can rehydrate your skin by consuming a minimum of 8 – 10 glasses of water daily. You can always add a hint of lime or lemon to make the water tastier. This will help the general look and health of your skin.
Replace your pricy toners, moisturizers, and cleansers with castile soap, witch hazel, aloe, and other natural materials. These products are perfect for any skin type. In addition to the moisture from the aloe, you can also enrich your application with a bit of the vitamin E oil. Tea tree oil is a great product to use, too.
Makeup artists use this trick to draw your attention away from any facial problems. It can help detract from blotchiness, puffy eyes and acne.
Pineapple is an ideal choice to help keep your diet on track toward your weight loss goal. That wonderfully sweet fruit is good for those on a diet because it has a lot of bromelain. Bromelain helps digest fats, proteins, and starch. Your metabolism can be increased by consuming pineapples which aid your digestion.
When you put on your lipstick put your finger in your mouth and make a 'O' and pull it out. This is an effective way to prevent any lipstick that ended up inside your mouth from getting on your teeth while leaving the lipstick on the outside of your mouth untouched.
Sunscreen is an important component of maintaining your beauty and youthfulness. Sunscreen should be worn year round, not just during the summer, in order to keep the wrinkles at bay. During the winter season, your hands and face suffer the most.
Beauty is comprised of many things. Focus on appearance, health, fitness, clothing and how you hold yourself. Through those focuses, you can achieve great beauty.
UVA rays are as powerful in the wintertime as they are during the summer, so they need to be using a sunblock with an SPF of at least 15, no matter what season it is. Sunscreen can help keep you protected from skin cancer and wrinkles all year.
Our culture places great importance on youth and beauty. Sadly, most of us are disappointed at how we look. There are so many resources and tools available for anyone who wants to learn more about an effective beauty regimen. You should have learned some tricks to making yourself beautiful from this article.

Bowers & Wilkins Debuts XT Line's New Cornerstone
Super-Slim Aluminum Tower Re-refined
Since its unveiling a couple of years back, Bowers & Wilkins stunningly slim XT Series loudspeakers have proven an ongoing hit among consumers as sensitive to style as to sound. Nevertheless, at the British company acknowledged worldwide as a leader in high -performance loudspeakers, continuous refinement and ongoing development are a way of life, so the XT Series now receives an updated cornerstone model.
B&W's new XT 8 supersedes the XT 4, with which it is superficially identical: a slim, smooth, contemporarily styled mid -sized tower speaker with the unmistakable B&W Nautilus tweeter "pod" at the top. Under the gleaming skin, however, the XT 8 is substantially refined. A re -engineered midrange utilizes B&W's proprietary FST (fixed -suspension transducer) technology to deliver demonstrably (and measurably) greater mid -frequency accuracy, thanks to FST's near eradication of the standing -wave resonances that trouble nearly all conventional cone drivers. A crossover network realigned to optimize the FST mid's abilities completes the picture, contributing to a sonic payoff of clearly audible gains in transparency, imaging precision and depth, and articulation of subtle sonic details.
The XT 8 retains the Nautilus tweeter of it predecessor. This metal -dome, high -frequency driver combines through its newly refined low -order crossover to take full advantage of the XT 8's improved FST midrange, while its Nautilus tapered -tube enclosure virtually eliminates the back -side internal resonances that subtly limit the resolution of conventional high -frequency designs. Additionally, B&W's smoothly tapered "top -pod" location helps prevent acoustic diffractions that induce time -domain "smearing" effects. In short, this extensively proven layout contributes the XT 8's extremely smooth yet extended, arrestingly transparent top end and three -dimensional sense of space.
Also retained from the XT 4 are the new model's twin 5 -inch woofers. These utilize B&W's trademark paper/Kevlar™ composite to ensure quick, clear bass and impressive low -frequency transient power, with unexpected bottom -octave extension (34 Hz) from so dramatically slim a speaker. The XT 8's available finish options are similarly unchanged: Satin brushed aluminum or gloss black aluminum exteriors of superb quality are set off by slim black grilles to effect a quiet elegance.
B&W's new XT 8 will become available in the first quarter of 2009, at a manufacturer's suggested price of $3,500/pair.
About Bowers & Wilkins
Bowers & Wilkins is Britain's leading exporter of loudspeakers and the number one imported brand in North America.

happy end of 2013 / hello even happier 2014
oh and i went semi-rogue last december - always wanted to do this. now imagine a corporate slave w this hair.
2013 has been a hectic year with graduating from np, and of course, a lot of job hops (i was even juggling between three part time jobs at one point lol) life went pretty mundane since september as i got a FT job and started school at the same time. looking back at the goals i made for this year, i did managed to travel and visited three countries; i managed to take more chances, meet more people; and of course, i think i ate very well the entire year lol.
i dont have much to wish for the new year, but i do want to get lots of new experiences, and stop worrying about the past. one other thing that i tell myself every year is to be spontaneous, and dont wait for the 'right moment' or make the 'right decision' because nothing's right. and one last thing to remember: daydream and smile on a daily basis.
2014 ought to be an exciting one.

System Design for 3D Packaging: From Microns to Nanometers
This seminar is complementary to our Guests
Wednesday, April 19th, 2017
Owens Design, 47427 Fremont Blvd., Fremont, CA | Map It
In order to deliver the performance, form factor, and cost requirements for consumer mobile devices, 3D packaging have become the preferred technology solution. 3D packaging refers to the use of stacked silicon wafers and/or singulated dies, and interconnecting them vertically using through-silicon vias (TSVs). While the benefits are many, there are also some challenges, including precision alignment, assembly and test.
In this seminar we have invited two speakers who are intimately familiar with equipment development of automated assembly and test for those devices. Our first speaker, Tony Smith, will share his knowledge of best practices for positioning mechanisms (with or without vision) . Our second speaker, Walter Silvesky, will share some examples that illustrate some of the challenges facing our customers in implementing 3D packaging and how to overcome them.
Do you need answers to active alignment problems? Do you need to better understand vision based automation? Or do you just want to learn more? If so, please join us for our seminar that will focus on automation to enhance 3D packaging.
8:30 AM to 9:00 AM Complimentary Continental Breakfast and facility tour

I found my way to Costa Rica. It was actually quite simple once I boarded a functioning plane, go figure. Before I talk about the actual trip here, let me explain my current surroundings. At this very moment, I am cradled inside a hammock on top of a jungle mezzanine. It's very breezy, and actually a little "cold" (so about 60 degrees). There are animal sounds echoing in the dark, but they're not threatening at all, and it smells like summer. I have never been so at peace in my life.
Okay, so to begin my day I shuttled from my cozy first floor hotel room to the nightmare known as DFW. Boarded the plane, and to my delight there was no delay at all. To my surprise, I was actually really calm during this flight for some reason. Even the little Latin boy kicking the back of seat every 30 seconds couldn't break my positivity. The flight lasted about 3 hours 45 minutes, and though I was very eager to eat the in-flight meals at the time they were served, the last 30 minutes of that flight made me regret all of the meals I've eaten my entire life. Let me explain. I've flown a fair amount of times, and I'm not afraid of a little turbulence, but what I experienced before landing in Costa Rica was similar to a small earthquake in the air. All of the blood rushed to my face and my turkey sandwich was dangerously close to making a reappearance in my lap.
Finally, we pulled up to the gate and I was able to breathe again. As I was leaving the plane I remember thinking, "That was just too easy!", and sure enough, just as I rounded the corner, there was a line of about 500 people waiting to get through customs. And that is NOT an exaggeration. But SJO Airport has free WiFi, so I had entertainment for the hour and a half of waiting. I made it through customs successfully, and they didn't even take away my Clif bars! For some reason I was sure they would. So here I am exiting the airport, and let me tell you, leaving the doors you feel like a damn celebrity. There were about 100 people holding signs, waving, frickin cheering? I don't even know, it was so bizarre. At least two men asked which resort I was going to, to which I smiled and awkwardly said "thank you", because I'm a social reject. That's when I saw him. There was Carlos, the man, the myth, the legend, standing toward the end of the line holding a sign that read 'Costa Rica Animal Rescue'. That's my spot! Boy oh boy was I happy to see him. I ran up and hugged him; he was pretty thrown off by that I think, but he greeted me with the double cheek kiss, so classy Carlos. We made our way through the crowds, and I was shocked that there was another volunteer! And she was American! So the three amigos skipped through the streets of Costa Rica, just kidding, but I did almost get hit by a bus.
The drive to the center was wonderful. Everything is so green and fresh here. I was experiencing major culture shock when we started going through the various villages though. So many people waiting for buses, and driving those old-school 70s style vans with the round headlights ya know? It's exactly what I pictured it to look like, but everyone seems much more friendly than I imagined. The center is fabulous. We arrived at around 3pm, and got a full tour right away. Of course there are sloths and monkeys, but we also have hedgehogs, pigs, goats, porcupines, chickens, toucans, peacocks, turtles, dogs, squirrels, and a parrot. It's a very summer-camp style layout. There's a large community room, outdoors of course, with a bunch of tables and chairs, and that's attached to the kitchen. Then next to the human kitchen is the animal kitchen, where the animals food is prepared and dished up. There's a spiral staircase in the center of the whole place, which leads to the mezzanine I'm currently relaxing in. This is a popular place because there are hammocks and outlets, plus the WiFi has the strongest signal up here. The actual bunks are basically replicas of those seen in a little film called, The Parent Trap. I've actually been scoping out all the volunteers here to see if I find my long lost English twin. I got my bed, and started meeting everyone immediately. There's about 35 volunteers staying here right now; a lot of German's, a few American's, and a handful of English people. Very few Latin people…
This just in, literally just witnessed a rogue cat capture a rat larger than Mr. Rathburn. Blood and all, that was horrifying. Okay, back on topic, everyone is very nice so far. Tomorrow I'm being put on a "team" and starting my actual duties. I'm so tired, I'm going to cut this a lot shorter than I wanted to. Let me end by explaining the shower situation. So I obviously wasn't expecting anything glamorous, but I feel like I'm on an episode of Survivor! Like, spiders crawling up the walls, unheated, and no roof! I secretly kind of dig it…
Okay, I must sleep now. But tomorrow, I will hash out my experience being 3 inches from a sloth, with painful detail.

The Social Studies program at WGMS is a broad examination of the human condition from the earliest world civilizations to modern societies. Focus emphasizes particular times and areas of the world. Various research and study skills are reinforced throughout the program and align to the newly-adopted state instructional framework for social studies.
The 6th grade curriculum covers Ancient Civilizations. Students explore the elements of society and culture and the conflicts which have influenced the development of mankind and the first societies. In particular, students focus on: Early Man, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Kush, India, China, Israel, Greece, and Rome before AD 200 approximately.
7th grade Social Studies curriculum covers the study of geography, culture and religion in late antiquity through the medieval world. Following the Middle Ages, students will study the fall of Rome, the spread of Islam, Medieval Africa, China, Japan, MesoAmerica and Europe. When studying Europe, classes focus on life, religion and politics after the fall of Rome through the Renaissance and Age of Exploration. The curriculum is based on the Content Standards adopted by the California State Content Standards. The class text is Discovering Our Past: Medieval and Early Modern Times, by Jackson J. Spielvogel, Ph.D., published by Glencoe/McGraw Hill.
8th Grade Social Studies has a curriculum that explores the birth and development of America with a focus on the geography, economy, government, military, foreign affairs and people who contributed to creating a new nation. The class begins with pre-colonial America and then to the U.S. Constitution and the events that shaped a young United States. Westward expansion is the next theme, and students will review the effect it had on Native Americans, the land as well as other nations. Classes will examine and analyze the causes and events that resulted in the Civil War and the Reconstruction period. Additionally, students will examine and analyze the social, economic and technological factors that resulted in America's industrialization. The final focus will be the major concepts of democracy. The curriculum is based on Content Standards adopted by the California State Board of Education. The class text is Creating America, A History of the United States by Jack N. Rakove and Jose C. Moya, published by McDougal Little Inc.

Reflection Project
CGi and creative content
Interior design
As team, we're always challenge ourselves to push our limits forward. Reflection project has been a very constructive project as a source of learning and experiments.
From the beginning, we knew we would like to develop an entire collection, from project design to animation.
We didn't put any barriers at creative process, but we have something on mind, to be as good as possible from beginning.
After collected several references which should guide us through production stage, we determined we were going to project two main areas: Living and Kitchen room.
We choose working mainly with a natural lighting scheme and a natural color palette. For photographic direction, we decided working mainly with portrait formats (saving two exceptions), this way we could choose carefully our lens set which we'll use to better captivate viewer's attention.
At the animation, we explored fine details from the project in a cinematic narrative.
As usual our tool sets were: 3dmax, V-Ray, Adobe package

East Chapel Hill's Brooke Pritchard defeated Elizabeth Johnson of Apex, 4-1, 4-0, last Sunday at Chapel Hill Country Club to win the Girls 16-and-under title at the 26th annual N.C. Junior Level 4 Championships.
Four other Chapel Hill players reached the championship finals of their age divisions in a field that comprised 166 junior players from across North Carolina.
East Chapel Hill's Connor Lutz fell to Ali Abernathy of Asheville, 4-2, 5-3, in the Boys 18u finals, while Lauren Baddour (Girls 14u), Maddie Moore (Girls 10u) and Sunimal Desilva (Boys 12u) all also reached the bracket finals.
One semifinal match stood out in particular for Chapel Hill Country Club members as Jonathan Baddour of the CHCC battled Colin O'Hagerty of Hillsborough in what most thought to be the longest contest of the tournament. One rally in the matchup lasted 4 minutes and 160 shots. Match point went to 55 shots before O'Hagerty prevailed 4-1, 1-4, (7-5).
CHCC tennis pro and tournament host Lindsay Benton had to scramble some after cold rain forced cancellation of most of last Saturday's rounds. He cited Derek Boone, Jarrod Randle, Jaime Montalvo and head USTA referee Joann Hundley as essential in helping to re-arrange a truncated Sunday schedule so the club could get 237 matches completed.

The Manchurian Candidate.
The links between the Trump election campaign, members of Trump's family and the Russians have continued to grow, prompting speculation that Trump himself may have been involved in a plot to influence the election in November 2016. So far, by telling lies, drip feeding his admissions of guilt, calling all such reports "fake news" and with the help of a supine House of Congress, Trump has managed to dodge impeachment. Despite this impeachment remains a distinct possibility if Congress and the people who voted for this fake President finally wake up and smell the coffee. The latest revelations about Trump's secret meeting with Vladimir Putin with only a Russian interpreter in attendance has raised eyebrows but not as much as his decision to remove all support for the moderate rebels fighting against Assad in Syria. This is nothing more or less than handing over the future of Syria to the Russians, infuriating two of the USA's closest allies - Turkey and Saudi Arabia - in the process. The secret meeting between Putin and Trump now looks for all the world as if Trump is a Russian intelligence asset with Putin acting as his KGB handler. The CIA are now openly calling Trump "The Manchurian Candidate" while the other 16 intelligence agencies in the USA are telling the American people that Russia is now in charge of US foreign policy. If so this would be a breathtaking intelligence coup for the Russians and Putin, a former head of the KGB, in particular. But surely Putin, with his experience, wouldn't be so daft as to demonstrate to the world that Trump is his lapdog? He might, if he thought that burning this asset was worth it. Such a high profile asset could not be expected to last long before being found out and rubbing America's nose in it might just be his end game. After all what would the result be? The American public could never be sure again that their political elite had not been fatally suborned because of their business interests which are all too often linked to Russian oligarchs. Putin would show that he is the master of intelligence while the Americans, hampered by their tortuous legal systems, could never hope to match his ability to act without restraint. The USA has been crowing for years about the defeat of Communism. How ironic if they were now defeated by a tinpot dictatorship shorn of its former might with Putin playing what appears to be a weak hand with all the consummate skills gained as the former head of the KGB.

More People To Die Before Retirement.
The organised crime syndicate known as the Tory party has dropped yet another bombshell today in their bid to return us all to the 1840's and reward themselves with yet another juicy tax cut. Those of us unfortunate enough to be born during the 1970's or later will not now receive a state pension until they are aged 68. It is no coincidence that this measure has been taken in the same week that it was announced that ordinary people's life expectancy has ceased to increase. Austerity has delivered one of the glittering prizes for the Tory party - more people will die before they can claim their state pension saving £74 billion that can then be grabbed by the already rich, greedy and selfish and stuffed into their tax-free offshore bank accounts. Many of our children and grandchildren, burdened by the debt of an education, unaffordable mortgages or rent and crippling health insurance, will never be able to retire but will be worked to death in order to fund this windfall for the Tories and those criminal elements who bankroll them. The younger generation will not only be worse off than those now at retirement age, they will be worse off than their ancestors dead for 100 years. The Tories are succeeding in their bid to roll back the welfare state and replace it with the dog-eat-dog dystopia that existed before World War II. They are stealing our children's and grandchildren's future in order to strengthen and extend their cult of greed. They can be stopped however. All we have to do is stop voting for them and start voting for hope instead of despair.

Why There Should Be A Second Referendum.
There can be little doubt now that the Brexit campaign was one based on lies and propaganda. Remember the £135 million a week for the NHS? Remember the scare story that Turkey was about to join the EU? Remember "taking control of our borders"? Remember "the world will beat a path to our door eager for trade"? All these have now been abandoned by the leaders of the Brexit campaign since they are demonstrably untrue. All they are left with is "taking back control over our own laws" and wresting the legislative process from the "faceless bureaucrats from Brussels". Even these statements are demonstrably untrue since we always had control over our own laws while in Parliament 90% of all laws introduced are purely domestic and have nothing to do with Europe. As for the "faceless bureaucrats" has no one heard of MEPs - you know the people we vote for to represent our views in Brussels? Winning the Brexit campaign on such a basis was nothing more or less than a confidence trick perpetrated on the British public by a bunch of swivel-eyed nutters in UKIP and the Tory Party with propaganda supplied by newspapers who think nothing of hacking a murdered girl's phone. The result was simply illegitimate. But now we can see the edge of the cliff that this country is heading towards while we are all driven a breakneck speed towards it by the likes of Boris Johnson and David Davis. The only question is why the Tory party in particular is now so eager to embrace economic disaster? At the very centre of their thinking is the glittering prize of ending the influence of the European Court on Human Rights. Without their "interference" workers rights can be swept away, pay can be kept at poverty levels, collective bargaining can be dispensed with and, most important of all, the NHS can be flogged off at bargain-basement prices to the Tories party's rich mates in the American Health Industry. That is what Brexit is all about for the organised crime syndicate known as the Tory party in the UK. It's time for a second referendum now we know the truth.

Theresa May Appeals To The Morons.
After spending the first week of the general election campaign avoiding any mention of a policy and avoiding meeting real people Theresa May has finally come up with a cliché that her spin doctors think might find some traction. After voicing their opinion that Theresa May is a complete idiot with no idea as to what she is doing she has come back with an utterly brainless accusation that the EU is trying to spoil her election chances. This, she believes, will cause the British public to swing behind her as a latter day Boudicca and unite in the face of the real enemy - Johnny Foreigner. Given the utter vacuous stupidity of the British electorate she might well have a point. The social media is already replete with references to World War II, Winston Churchill, Waterloo and all the other historical nonsense trotted out by brain dead Brexiteers. As the bad news that Brexit represents piles up and the exit policy of the Tories continues to be non-existent May feels she has no choice but to wrap herself in the flag to rally her moronic troops before the truth flushes them down that creek where paddles are in short supply. We must all hope that Britain can find a market for its "Boy's Own History of Why Britain Is Really Great" to supplement its only other exports - arms for nasty dictators to kill their own people with and criminal banking services. For this alternative to a policy of any sort Theresa May is banking that the British people will be willing to see their NHS flogged off at bargain-basement prices to American healthcare companies, see more of their fellow citizens cast out into the streets, see even more of the disabled left destitute and see their children's and grand-children's future destroyed. Well for all you Brexiteers out there who think that a Tory government is a price worth paying and will actually vote for this murderous band of crooks, conmen and outright criminals, don't forget to wash your hands afterwards.

The Great Brexit Alibi.
Brexit was won on the back of outright lies. There will be no end to immigration. There will be no extra money for the NHS. There are no lucrative trade deals being made with the rest of the world outside the EU. The Tories have no strategy for negotiating Britain's way out of the EU. There is no unity in the country. So, Theresa May must ask herself, how the hell can the Tory party survive the economic disaster that is about to engulf us all? While the PM's husband is poised to make millions out of his post-Brexit investments it is not difficult to understand why Theresa May's support for the Remain campaign was so lacklustre or why she was so eager to embrace leaving the EU as fast as possible. The Tory spin doctors came to her rescue with such soundbites as "Brexit means Brexit" and "the will of the people". How then to survive the looming disaster of the "negotiations" that seem to consist entirely of unreasonable demands and the threat to shoot Britain through its collective head if May doesn't get what she wants? First call a general election - you know the one she said she wouldn't call - and get an "overwhelming mandate" for her negotiating position. This will strengthen her hand she insists. This rather begs the question as to why the EU would give a damn about her "mandate", overwhelming or otherwise. The British electorate, it must be pointed out, don't vote in German or French elections and, consequently, German and French politicians simply don't care what they think. Not to worry though for, while the Tories pretend to have an exit strategy and the Daily Mail speaks of the EU negotiation strategy as a "plot" by dastardly foreigners, the fix is already in. When Theresa May walks away from the negotiations with a hatful of nothing she will address the nation from the steps of No.10 and explain patiently that she was merely carrying out "the will of the people". Now do you get it? "You" (or at least the less than 40% of the electorate who voted for this idiocy) are to blame. The Tory party which led us out of the EU and up this dark blind alley will not be to blame. It's all your fault.

text: Below is a summary of our latest objective market valuation model. Not surprisingly, it has got a bit cheaper over the last few months (falling from ~1 SD over valued to currently ~0.5 SD overvalued. Drop me an email if you'd like us to describe in full detail how we calculate and use it.


text:
The fall in the Indian stock markets in the past months has obviously led to lower valuations. But what are our valuations now compared with other markets? We take a look here at the price-earnings, or P-E, estimates for the S&P/Citigroup broad market indices.
The data estimates the next one year's P-E multiples of various countries and regions on the basis of consensus, or the average of, analysts' earnings estimates computed by the Institutional Brokers' Estimate System, or IBES, an internationally recognized guide to consensus earnings forecasts.
As expected, the numbers show that the next one year's P-E estimates for the Indian market has declined from a high of 25.62 at the end of last December to 18.53 at the end of March 2008. What's interesting, however, is that the premium that the Indian market commanded compared with other emerging markets has been squeezed sharply between December and March.
According to the S&P/Citigroup indices, the premium for the Indian market over other emerging markets has come down from 64% at end-December to 38% by March-end. That's slightly higher than the premium at the end of June last year.
In other words, the rise in valuation as a result of the flood of money hitting Indian shores late last year has been corrected, though India continues to be the most expensive market in terms of the S&P/Citigroup indices.
Interestingly, the S&P/Citigroup Emerging Markets, or EM, index used to trade at a discount to the World index till last September, until the emergence of the credit crisis in the West depressed valuations in the developed markets. At the end of March, however, the EM index was trading at a small premium of 6% to the World index. But the US market had a forward P-E of 13.76 at the end of March, slightly higher than the EM P-E of 13.42, although the premium for the US market has declined substantially since last June.
It can be argued that the P-E numbers don't mean much, as earnings will be revised downward as the global slowdown takes hold. But if we assume that the revisions will affect all markets, we can still draw conclusions on the basis of relative P-Es.
Clearly, valuations in the developed markets have fallen more than those in emerging markets, given that the credit crisis hurts them the most. India's premium over other emerging markets is now even lower than before the credit crisis hit, implying that much of the froth has been wiped off and the rise and fall in our markets may henceforth be in tandem with other emerging markets.
A boon for Orchid Chemicals shareholders
About three weeks ago, drug firm Orchid Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals Ltd had lost 45% of its value in two trading sessions, thanks to a distress sale by Bear Stearns Companies Inc., which in turn led to margin calls on loaned shares held by the company's promoters and eventually, another distress sale in the market.
A margin call is a broker's demand for additional funds or securities because the value of an equity has fallen below a required minimum.
Back then, this column had noted that the only positive for the stock is that the company is available cheap, and with the promoter group strapped for cash, there could be a bid for it.
Things have moved fast since then. Solrex Pharmaceuticals Co., believed to be part of the Ranbaxy group, picked up 7.5 million shares, or an 11.38% stake, in the company between 31 March and 7 April. The majority came through bulk deals, while about one million shares seemed to have come through open market operations. Based on the bulk deals data, the average cost of acquisition is about Rs177 per share. There were some more bulk deals on the Orchid counter on Tuesday, which coupled with unusually high volumes, suggest that the acquirer continued to mop up shares.
After the promoter group's distress sale in March, its stake in the company has fallen to 15.87%. If Solrex's stake exceeds 15%, it can make an open offer to buy another 20% from minority shareholders. It's a tall task for Orchid's promoters to make a counter-bid, given that they have no money.
Solrex's acquisition price of about Rs177 is at a valuation of less than nine times past earnings and less than one time past revenues of Orchid, which seems like a steal, considering Citigroup's recent estimate that the company's earnings per share will grow at a compounded average rate of 48% in the three years between fiscal year 2006-07 and 2009-10.
And if the acquirer is an associate of Ranbaxy, it will help the latter consolidate its position in the industry, thanks to Orchid's strength in the antibiotics space.Orchid focuses on high-end products such as sterile injectibles, where the entry barrier is considered to be high.
Thankfully for Solrex and perhaps Ranbaxy, the entry into Orchid itself may hold fewer barriers. That's unless a third party comes up with a counter-bid. Investors in the company would also be relieved, as Solrex's activity has led to a 125% jump in Orchid's share price from its recent lows.
A bid for the company seems to be the only way investors will gain. Otherwise, it stares at a huge $175 million (Rs700 crore) foreign currency convertible bond, or FCCB, issue ending up as debt, further worsening the company's debt-equity ratio.
On the other hand, if the bid is successful and the shares jump further, theacquirer needs to be mindful that Orchid's equity could dilute by as much as 40%, thanks to FCCBs and warrants issued to promoters. But that may still be a long way off, considering that the conversion price of FCCBs are about Rs350 per share and the current price is Rs240.

OEMs Vie for Sales Opportunities in Health Market
If you want to find out how much weight youve lost since joining the gym, there's an app for that. If you want to keep track of your medications, there's an app for that. And if you want to log your blood pressure or glucose readings over time, there's an app for that, too.
Increasingly, software developers are introducing new health applications at a time when the smartphone market is growing and tablets are the new must-have tool. Added to this, the drive to improve personal health and wellness and the accelerated adoption of electronic medical records have changed the face of healthcare, which now provides the kind of business growth trajectory that high-tech equipment manufacturers and software developers salivate over.
Undoubtedly, the health apps market is a nascent one, and so far most of these apps run on Apple's iPhone and iPad, with the Google Android and other devices trying to catch up. In April, Nokia Corp. (NYSE: NOK) launched its own mobile application for the healthcare sector and has enabled some health apps to run on its devices.
Late last month, Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) enhanced its HealthVault platform, which stores and maintains health information. To encourage health app developers, the company has built client libraries for constructing standalone HealthVault applications across all of the most popular phone platforms. The software development kit and samples for the Windows Phone 7 are available now and will be made available soon for Apple iOS and Google Android.
Leading the field, Apple's approach, which has been to provide independent health app developers with a software platform that includes a published interface, has allowed developers to create health apps on their own and has helped to promote the Apple brand in the healthcare sector.
As smartphones have seen tremendous adoption rates, health apps for smartphones, have been a driving force for product adoption among healthcare providers. According to a recent report from global market research firm RNCOS, the main driver of growth in mobile health applications is the increasing adoption of smartphones during the past few years. At the end of 2009, smartphone penetration was around 21 percent -- it is expected to be 50 percent by the end of 2011. Further, over 72 percent of physicians are smartphone users, and mobile health applications embedded in smartphones are a main reason for this increased usage, the report notes.
On the tablet front, it will be interesting to see how companies like HP, Dell, and Acer orient their new tablets to the healthcare market and whether they'll be able to encourage software developers to create health apps for these products. Already late to the tablet market, these companies may find that health apps can fuel tablet sales. Another recent study that polled 950 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) members showed that more than 25 percent of respondents plan to deploy the iPad and other iOS devices immediately, and nearly 70 percent plan to deploy the devices this year.
Certainly, the market is ripe for future revenue growth. A recently published PricewaterhouseCooper study found that half of consumers surveyed said they would buy mobile technology to address their health needs. Additionally, 40 percent of respondents would be willing to pay for a monthly mobile phone service or device that could send information to their doctors. Consumers polled said they would prefer to pay less than $10 for the monthly mobile phone service and less than $75 for the device. PwC estimates the annual consumer market for remote/mobile monitoring devices to be $7.7 billion to $43 billion, based on the range consumers said they would be willing to pay.
As OEMs unleash more tablets and smartphones into a market rife with competition, mobile device makers that take the healthcare sector lightly will lose out on what promises to be one of the most lucrative markets to come along in recent years. How these companies position their products in the healthcare sector will tell us a lot about their ability to react to a changing market that demands greater use of mobile devices. If high-tech companies can't make the most of the new opportunities that healthcare affords... well, there's no app for that!

Fishy Tales
Night Walks - Charles Dickens
This was a very thoughtful pressie from Mrs. D at Crimble. Penguin have published a range of famous essays by public figures entitled 'Great Ideas'. Among them are the writings of Lenin, George Orwell, Sigmund Freud, and Winston Churchill to name a few of the hundred writers that have been chosen.
Of course for anybody who has had the pleasure of reading Dickens fiction they will know of his opinions on class and an unfair society. This is the main crux of Night Walks. For a period Dickens suffered from insomnia so he decided to spend nights walking long distances around London to tire himself out. Of course London has changed radically since Dickens lifetime but many of the main arteries that he walked along and over are still there so for anybody who has an idea of Londons geography it's easy to travel back a hundred and odd years with Charlie D to see what it was like.
The chapter titles include 'Wapping Workhouse' and my favourite 'Chatham Dockyard' in which Dickens brings to life the anthill-like industriousness of the building of a warship by engineers and carpenters.
One thing that I always take from reading a Dickens book is that there are still in our so-called 'Modern' times the same social injustices that there were all that time ago. In one passage in this essay Dickens comments whilst wandering around Covent Garden in the early hours that it would be a much better world if the care that was taken in growing and harvesting the vegetables waiting on carts for sale later that morning, was given to the children sleeping underneath the carts, we would as a society be doing a better job. Couldn't agree more Mr. Dickens.
After reading this I will certainly look at CD's other journalism.
Frazier Cranium
That is fecking ace write up Dock, thank you. I will read these tales one day.
A modern day equivalent would be much shorter surely?
Once again I find my self unable to sleep. Once again I find myself walking the night time streets of London. Once again I find myself waking up in Casualty. Success? By some standards I suppose so; I just wished I didn't have to get mugged to enjoy, if that's the correct term, a few hours sleep these days.

A marriage between two cuisines is preferable to a marriage between two clones of Sylvester Stallone, a process that eventually results in a baby reared on raw eggs and meat punching bags. Savor a simpler fusion with today's Groupon: for $39, you get any two dinner entrees (up to a $31 value each) and two classic margaritas (a $10 value each), at Perfecto Mundo in Commack (up to an $82 total value).
Specializing in seafood, Perfecto Mundos dinner menu compiles a colorful host of traditional Latin dishes fused with dynamic culinary inspirations that have been rated "very good to excellent" by Zagat. Comestible tag teams trade forkfuls from two entrees of their choice, such as the pan-roasted Nile perch, blanketed with roasted-corn relish and cabernet-merlot butter, or the lobster paella, with little neck clams poking out of a saffron risotto bed to applaud chefs talents. The harmonious notes of the sofrito-marinated french chicken breast hit high octaves with fried sweet plantains, and a tequila-grapefruit-and-cilantro mojo coaxes karaoke performances of Cheeseburger in Paradise. Diners can conclude culinary celebrations with two classic margaritas.
Colorful artwork decorates Perfecto Mundos lively dining room, filled with easily moved tables in order to bolster mealtime enjoyment with weekly entertainment. Live music swaddles eardrums Friday and Saturday evenings with blues tunes and Latin beats, and Dov the Magician mystifies eyes on certain Thursdays with sleights of hand as courteous servers make empty plates disappear and saw leftovers in half.
Though Perfecto Mundo sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
CoupFlip is a marketplace for people to buy and sell deals from "daily deal" (also known as "group buying") sites such as Groupon.

It is completely free to buy and sell vouchers on CoupFlip!
See our FAQ page!
Daily deals make it possible for you to try something new or indulge in something lavish without the high price tag these things usually come with. If you ever have the need to buy and sell deals at any time, we're here to help. At CoupFlip, there's no need to worry about limited time offers on city deals or the long wait for a buyer.
What makes our listing different is that you can feel free to browse through our selection of vouchers at your leisure and pick the ones that you need. Thinking of going out for a meal or planning a vacation? Use our search bar to find the best deals you might have missed on Groupon.

Facing the Nation — On Media and Politics: A Conversation with Bob Schieffer
By Phillip Murray
The 2016 U.S. Presidential election has been among the most divisive in recent history, and has stirred strong feelings in individuals across the political spectrum. The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health welcomed Bob Schieffer to join the Voices in Leadership series on November 17, 2016, nine days after this historic election, to comment on this "particularly interesting week." As one of the nation's most decorated journalists, Schieffer drew on his rich experiences to provide a valuable analysis of recent events. Dr. Katherine Baicker, the interviewer, and students from the Harvard Chan community highly anticipated his perspectives on the unprecedented events of the past week and on media and leadership. The studio was charged with emotion, and Schieffer provided many important lessons through candor, humor, and humility.
Born in Austin, Texas, Schieffer began his career working at a small news outlet in Fort Worth. He eventually became one of the few individuals to have covered all four of the major beats: The Pentagon, the U.S. State Department, the Congress, and the White House. Schieffer has interviewed every sitting president since Richard Nixon and moderated three Presidential debates. Schieffer has worked for CBS News for 46 years, and has won every notable journalism award, including eight Emmys and the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence. He is currently serving as the Walter Shorenstein Media and Democracy Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School's Shorenstein Center. His storied career, however, did not exclude him from sharing the audience's surprise about the election results. A year ago at Harvard, Schieffer predicted that Donald Trump would get the Republican nomination because he was able to connect with people's frustrations, but did not believe at the time that he would win based on his lack of stated plans and rhetoric on the campaign trail. Schieffer remarked,
"This is different than any campaign that I have ever covered in my lifetime. It's different than any campaign that I know about. We heard and saw things in this campaign that you just don't see in the past in campaigns."
Schieffer focused on how changes in the media factored into the election, reflecting that a "communications revolution" has opened access to more information than ever, but cautioned that this did not guarantee that people were any better informed. He recounted his time in journalism, stating that during his time in the "gatekeeper era," though there were less sources, reporters agreed to operate from the same set of facts. Now, he says, "we're basing out opinions on different facts and different data", and noted that people were getting their news from many different outlets. Even worse is the increase in false news stories and the interaction with social media. He noted this continues to inform people's opinions and diminishes the opportunity for well informed discourse. He felt that to overcome this people would need to take information from multiple sources, emphasizing the importance of a "buyer beware" approach.
These challenges did not impact his unwavering belief that a free press remains essential to a functioning democracy. He respected the public's ability to make a decision when presented with the best possible information. Pride filled his voice as he recalled examples of good reporting. Acknowledging current challenges, he felt today's media has the additional responsibility of knocking down false information. He said,
"The greatest weapon that journalists have, the only weapon we have — we have two — our credibility and being willing to ask the questions and being able and being willing to push to get an answer."
It was clear he wielded these with integrity throughout his career.
When asked about the most memorable moments from his career, Schieffer recalled his experience hours after President Kennedy was assassinated. Distraught and overwhelmed, he decided to help in his office by answering the phones. A fortuitous call that he answered from Lee Harvey Oswald's mother led to his meeting and interviewing her. Recalling the event, he smiled, and reflected that good training only goes so far — much of it is being in the right place at the right time. This openness afforded him different adventures for more than 50 years. His satisfaction was evident as he said "Maybe it wasn't for everyone, but I loved every minute of it."
When asked if he had any insights from his career, he offered,
"Do what you really love to do. Don't worry about success. If you're good at what it is- — whatever it is, whether it's journalism or public health, wherever you all are going — do it because you love to do it, and that will pay off. And we'll all be the better for it."
Bob Schieffer, through his service, has lived these words. He has done what he has loved to do, and we have all been better informed for it.
