Designer Jörg Hemker worked on FF Sero® for seven years. His goal was to create a combination of an American grotesque and a humanist sans serif. The result was a vivid, clear and concise font.
The development process from expressive shapes to more neutral letter forms is visible in the dynamic shape of the FF Sero. In addition, open forms and a moderate contrast in weights contribute to this impression.
With eight weights, matching italics and various number sets, ligatures, small caps as well as Greek and Cyrillic characters, FF Sero is extremely versatile. It is particularly well-suited to international projects, especially in the field of corporate design.

Working with a variety of Partners in Integration throughout the province of Ontario, Reach for the Rainbow provides integrated recreation, respite and outreach opportunities designed to engage the hearts and minds of all individuals. Our programs encourage environments for typical children and individuals to live, play, work and inspire themselves alongside children and youth with disabilities, creating transformative experiences of belonging. What makes Reach for the Rainbow particularly unique is the fact that we started out and remain today an umbrella for all disabilities – both developmental and physical.
Why is Reach for the Rainbow important to the community?
It has been said that "it takes a village to raise a child". This adage holds particularly true when referring to children with disabilities. Prior to the 1970's children with disabilities were segregated, undervalued, shunned, hidden and/or institutionalized. They were referred to as mentally retarded, profoundly handicapped, identified solely by disability as special needs kids, and other such derogatory terms. Fortunately times have changed. Reach for the Rainbow has opened doors by advocating for legislative change for individuals with disabilities, promoting public awareness, developing a tangible model for effective integration and family respite and impacting hundreds of thousands of lives over the past 25 years.
However, Reach for the Rainbow cannot do it alone. We appreciate at the core of our commitment is attitudinal change and attitudes can neither be dictated or legislated. The Reach for the Rainbow environment not only fosters an atmosphere of acceptance, tolerance and understanding: we take acceptance to the point of it "being cool"; we take tolerance to the level of active engagement; and understanding now means inspiration. Because All Children Belong!
Reach for the Rainbow has proven wholeheartedly that the rewards to children with disabilities are not outweighed by the benefits to able children, their families and the community at large. In short, healthy families make for healthy kids, resulting in healthy communities.
Reach for the Rainbow is a registered non-profit organization (#11911 1748 RR0001).

"... by the time he went solo to record Justified, the committed perfectionist seemed like he couldn't quite hold it together. In fact, he had become a bit of a stoner. Timberlake has previously admitted that Justified was constructed in something of a marijuana haze. That partly explains, Timberlake says, his somewhat bewildered 2003 appearance on Ashton Kutcher's MTV prank show, Punk'd. Timberlake, who was tricked into believing that his possessions were being taken away by the tax authorities, seemed totally devastated for a minute there, he was known as The Man Ashton Kutcher Almost Made Cry.
"'I'll give you a little hint on that Punk'd thing,' Timberlake says. 'That was back in my first-album creative days. That's why I looked the way I did, if that makes any sense to you.'
"Were you stoned?"
"'Incredibly,' he laughs.

On the heels of a campaign in which President-elect Donald Trump openly confronted the news media about its bias against his candidacy, a new poll shows that Americans overwhelmingly believe the news media are biased.
The survey, taken by YouGov and sponsored by the Media Research Center, also found that 97 percent of those responding said the biases of the media did not influence their votes in the election.
"The media are in full panic mode because the American people rejected their leftist agenda — and them. People didn't believe the nonsense that the media were politically neutral," said Media Research Center president Brent Bozell.
Advertisement - story continues below
The poll found that 69 percent of America's voters do not believe the news media are honest and truthful.
Overall, 78 percent of the voters surveyed believed the media was biased. About 59 percent said the bias was in favor of Hillary Clinton while 21 percent said the bias favored Trump.
TRENDING: Kiss Rocker Gene Simmons Releases Statement Responding to Lifetime Fox Ban
Even Clinton voters figured out what the media was doing. The survey reported that 32 percent of Clinton supporters felt the media were "pro-Clinton."
The survey indicated that if voters believed the media, the election might have had a different result. Eight percent of the voters who supported Trump said that they would have supported Clinton if they believed what they read in the media about Trump.

"When you have a strong majority of actual voters saying the national 'news' media were biased in favor of Hillary Clinton and tried to influence the public to vote for her; and believing they are fundamentally dishonest, you have a major problem that can't be fixed with an apology," said Bozell, referring to a public letter published by the New York Times in which the Times somewhat apologized for allowing readers to be surprised by Trump's victory.
"The public has rejected this institution as being either objective or truthful. There is an institutional bias at major media networks that must be repaired and I am highly skeptical that news executives are interested or capable of undertaking this responsibility," he said.
Bozell said that while the survey shows bias is rampant, there was a silver lining — the judgment of the American people to tune out lies.
"Despite the overwhelming and persistent bias of this cycle in particular, I am heartened by the fact that, according to our poll, the American people didn't let it sway their vote. If this isn't a wakeup call for the left-wing media to stay out of politics, I don't know what is," he said.
Advertisement - story continues below
In writing about the letter of apology that appeared in the Times by the paper's publisher, Arthur Sulzberger, New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin noted the paper apologized more for getting the election wrong than its role in misleading readers about Trump.
"… because it demonized Trump from start to finish, it failed to realize he was onto something. And because the paper decided that Trump's supporters were a rabble of racist rednecks and homophobes, it didn't have a clue about what was happening in the lives of the Americans who elected the new president," Goodwin wrote.
Goodwin cited an August Times article that branded Trump "an abnormal and potentially dangerous candidate" and said fairness should be set aside in covering him.
"After that, the floodgates opened, and virtually every so-called news article reflected a clear bias against Trump and in favor of Clinton. Stories, photos, headlines, placement in the paper — all the tools were used to pick a president, the facts be damned," he wrote.

If someone offered you the chance to go back to your sophomore year of high school for 2 hours, for $16, would you take it?
That's what ArcLight Cinemas at the Sherman Oaks Galleria were charging for their one and only special screening of the original street racing hit, The Fast and the Furious (15th Anniversary), yesterday, Wednesday June 22 at 7:00pm. Cognizant of the fact that as of yet, man has not invented the time machine, and if he did, would not charge $16 for its services, I took the local theater up on what I deemed to be a bargain. As a special "fan service" intro from Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez ran preceding the film, I began to marvel at how Universal's most successful franchise managed to start from these relatively unknown beginnings.
$3.9 billion dollars, six sequels (soon to be seven with the upcoming release of Furious 8 in April 2017), and 15 years later, it's easy to analyze the movie that started it all and retrospectively make observations about why it surpassed initial expectations, both with fans and at the box office. But as someone who watched it twice during its opening week back in 2001, on the same day no less, I give myself permission to play the role of film critic here.
It certainly wasn't great acting that launched the F&F empire. The only major cast member to show me that they had considerable acting chops was Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto. As Mia Toretto, Dominic's sister in the film says regarding her brother's captivating personality: "Dom… he's like gravity. Everything just gets pulled to him." Agreed, it was difficult not to be sucked into the gravitational pull created by a young Vin Diesel, whose imposing physique, expressive eyes and distinctive baritone voice made him that guy that every other guy wants to hang out and be seen with.
But what was lacking in skill was made up for by brilliant casting. Dominic's "team" members filled their supporting roles well, and in particular Chad Lindberg delivered a memorable performance as Jesse, the quirky geek of the bunch.
As I fear I've worn out my welcome playing the role of Hollywood highbrow critic, let's get to the real stars of the first installment and subsequent franchise, the cars. Craig Lieberman, who served as a technical advisor for The Fast and the Furious and its immediate sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious, is the man credited with creating the picture cars for these two films, and in particular the orange Supra that every one of us lusted after. Apparently, accordingly to Lieberman, he was actually opposed to the decals and the orange paint job, but the studio overruled him and the rest is history.
The tuning style employed on many of the cars in the film is what I would consider to be "rice," a term used in the aftermarket community to describe an import car, usually a Honda, modified in poor taste, with a heavy emphasis on aesthetics rather than performance. But it worked well for the movie. I feel Lieberman and Universal's over-exaggerated portrayal of import cars and import culture played beautifully on the big screen, and also helped show the general public just how expressive, fanatical and dedicated real car enthusiasts can be.
And granted, the movie is very cheesy when scrutinized closely. The portrayal of nitrous oxide as a modification capable of increasing a vehicle's speed to the point where it makes your vision warp, like on the Star Tours ride at Disneyland, is comical, as are the hundreds of gear shifts that each driver seems to make in every race, despite the fact their vehicle only has five or six speeds.
But these faults are easily forgiven when we consider what The Fast and Furious franchise has done for car lovers everywhere, something that would have been impossible had the original The Fast and the Furious never reached its cult-level of following:
It put in front of audiences the idea that these hunks of metal and plastic were more than just toys, they were something that we could come together to appreciate and bond over, taking heart in knowing that we related over that which we cherished most in our lives — our rides.
This article is dedicated to my most avid reader, fan and friend, Mr. James Suk.

August 25th, 2009 – by: Sads79
Getting into town was pretty easy - hopped on a local minibus for 1,200 pesos (US50c/30p) which gradually got pretty cramped and spluttered its way into the city. Its deceiving - at the bus station on the edge, it looks like you're in the middle of nowhere and you can't even see where a city would be, but after about 10 minutes in the minibus it creeps up on you, bizarre. Checked into Brisa Loca hostel in the centre and went for a quick wander in the surrounding streets, but it was raining so didn't make it too far. I was just happy to go back to the hostel and chill out and relax after a long day travelling to get here. Was annoyed to discover that I'd left my charging cable for my notebook in Merida - a pain in the arse and I asked a few electrical stores who couldn't help as its 15V mostly out here, not 12V as back home. I hardly ever lose things, so I was pretty pissed off with myself for being careless when I was packing - doh! Had a few beers at the hostel bar and chatted to Nick (from Brighton) and Liset (Amsterdam), who were planning to go off to Tayrona the next day - seemed like a good idea as its meant to be beautiful, so we set about discussing plans over a few more Pilsen....

This documentary has taken off like a rocket! and many people have asked if they could organize a public screening in their local town. The answer, of course, is YES, YES.
Scroll down under video clip for additional details.
That made us realize that this is a great way to introduce geo-engineering, not just to neighbors and friends, but to the whole town, so we are passing the idea to you. If you want to do something really different and reach a large number of people, this is for you. Our only caveat is that you should not try this alone. We suggest you bring together at least three others (the more the better) who will help with promotion and staffing the event. It also is recommended that sponsors be obtained beforehand who will cover the expenses in the unlikely but possible event that ticket sales and DVD sales fall short of out-of-pocket costs. Sometimes the best choice is to rent a small movie theater within a large movie complex because it already has ticket takers and ushers and probably won't require that you obtain liability insurance. All you need to add is a PA system (unless they have one) and arrange a place for your display tables and reception. We can help by providing art work for movie posters and flyers, and we will publish the details of your screening in the Unfiltered News Events Calendar. If you you would like more information, contact Michael Murphy, President of the Coalition Against Geo-Engineering, here.

Margaret Thatcher's funeral, which is believed will take place at St. Paul's Cathedral in London on Wednesday, 17th April, has been a topic in the media spotlight on Thursday.
Aside from reported potential security concerns, now the focus is on who is expected to attend the former PM's funeral. This follows Margaret Thatcher's death earlier this week.
Mikhail Gorbachev, the ex-Soviet statesman, is not expected to be present at her funeral because of health issues. Based on reports, his spokesperson has confirmed this.
Mr. Gorbachev paid his tribute to Britain's first female Prime Minister on Monday, 8th April.
Also, the wife of the late former US President Ronald Reagan (the 40th American President who died in 2004) Nancy Reagan is not expected to attend the ceremony. The reason for this is understood to relate to her health.
According to Mrs. Reagan's spokesperson, an individual has been asked to be present at Margaret Thatcher's funeral in Mrs. Reagan's absence in order to represent her.
Of those invited to the funeral, it is believed that former prime ministers and the cabinet of this day among other figureheads are on the list.
Based on reports Tony Blair and his wife, Cherie, have been invited. Also, Dame Shirley Bassey and Jeremy Clarkson, of Top Gear, are also on the list.
It is expected that Queen Elizabeth II, who attended the funeral of Winston Churchill, will attend Baroness Margaret Thatcher's funeral service.

Nutrition and Your Child's Brain
This article was prepared by Ngala for Offspring Magazine, WA's own family lifestyle magazine. Visit http://www.offspringmagazine.com.au/.
We all know diet and nutrition is critical for our children's early years to set them on the path to good health for the future but what exactly are the ingredients?
First of all, food is not the only component to a healthy start in life; regular opportunities to sleep, to be in a safe, secure environment and be provided with lots of love all contribute to this ideal mix.
All infants need milk in the first years of life. Therefore breast milk has high levels of fats, including cholesterol (to grow brain tissue), protein (more whey than casein to grow body tissue), micro nutrients - vitamins and minerals as well as a range of live factors, immunological and pro biotic which help to establish a healthy immune system. Formula milks can recreate some of these complex components, but not all.
While solids are introduced, breast feeding can still be continued as there are many benefits of breast milk past the 1st year of life. What is important to remember at this time is that low fat diets are not suitable for babies. In fact as the brain is composed of 60% fatty tissue a proportion of that being cholesterol this is not the time to be skimping on healthy fat foods such as avocado, coconut, oily fish, butter, olive oil and full fat dairy products. Fats that are to be avoided are hydrogenated or 'trans' fats found in long shelf life processed foods baked, fried, or cheap margarines.
We may have heard the term 'essential fatty acids' in the media in connection with brain development. This class of fats found in abundance in oily/fatty fish is one of the building blocks for cellular brain growth and essential as the body cannot synthesise it on it's own. Unfortunately most of us do not get enough of this nutrient either we are following a low fat diet, no fish or seafood or simply because in recent decades it is not as prevalent in the general food chain as it once was. It has been shown in many studies to be implicated in IQ level, general attention and eye health. When it is sometimes difficult to feed children fish such as sardines, mackerel or salmon, and with the additional advice that amounts of larger fish like tuna or sword fish are likely to be contaminated with levels of environmental mercury, it seems that many parents are finding the only way to 'plug the gap' of this potential deficiency is to use a supplemental dose of quality fish oil. They are often flavoured with fruit extracts to make them more pleasant to take.
Strange but true, Australians as a whole may not be getting sufficient Vitamin D. This deficiency is particularly important for children's bone health but also for mood elevation. Deficiency in Vitamin D has been connected with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) often more experienced in northern latitudes. Do we get enough sun exposure in sunny Australia? Apparently not, especially the younger age group which may be subject to more time indoors, covered up and applied with sunscreen. It is really beneficial for overall health and also brain function if we allow 20 minutes a day, face and arms uncovered and un-sun-screened in the sunlight so that our skin can convert the dietary vitamin D. This is even more important to darker skinned people as the time needed to do the same job is 6 times as long.
Ever been to a children's party and the kids are going berserk? Is it the sugar? Is it the colours? Is it the noise?! Well, according to a UK study carried out in 150+ 3 year olds, a combination of common additives including colours and preservatives will produce negative behavioural effects in all children studied not just those with underlying attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder. This outcome is what parents have long suspected, but it is the first time the effects have actually been studied. Clearly we want to avoid processed foods for children, but the main culprits are the artificial colours, sweeteners, preservatives, and flavour enhancers coincidentally found in many foods marketed to children!
Sugar cannot be left out of the equation. Our sugar consumption has never been higher, with each person now consuming on average 80kg per year of the stuff compared to a few kilos 200 years ago. Brains especially young children's use a phenomenal amount of energy 20% of daily intake, however, consuming regular amounts of sugary snacks or drinks can send our blood sugar haywire. For children that means mood swings, temper tantrums and an inability to concentrate or relax enough to sleep soundly. While it is a good idea to reduce the overall amount of sugar in our child's diet remember to combine it with food containing protein and fat so that the sugar creates less of an 'emergency' blood sugar response. So, a snack of cheese cubes raisins and apple, followed by some jelly snakes- while containing a reasonable amount of 'dietary sugar' will have a completely different effect on the brain than eating the jelly snakes on their own. Above all start the day with a good protein based breakfast eggs on toast or porridge! This will give the brain something to work on and the sustained energy will match the needs of their natural rhythm high needs in the morning declining in the late afternoon.
Did you know our digestion and appetite benefits from sociable eating occasions? Having several opportunities a week to regularly eat around the table as a family will boost your child's enjoyment of eating and create valuable time for conversation which fires their imagination and imprints positive associations from mealtimes.
Include these foods to optimise your kid's brain health:
Eggs, quality unprocessed meat and fish, whole grains a wide range of fruits and vegetables raw or steamed, whole milk, cheese and naturally cultured yoghurt, nuts and nut pastes (watch small children - choking hazard), legumes and quality oils and fats. For sweet treats quality dark chocolate (70%+) is actually beneficial to health containing flavanoids and antioxidants. Try less well known ingredients like quinoa grain (mix it with rice), chia seeds (high levels of omega 3) or sprouted / spelt grain breads. This list of nutrient dense foods will fill your child up, boost their brain function and stabilise mood and concentration.
Avoid these types of foods:
Foods with artificial sweeteners or colouring, High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) Sugary fruit drinks, colas, energy drinks and juice, refined white sugars and white breads, trans fats and partially-hydrogenated oils, processed snack foods, crackers, chips, crisps and luncheon meats sausages, puffed commercial cereals (most of them) these ingredients and foods take away valuable nutrients from the body and take the place of healthy food required in the diet.
However, we all live in the real world where every day life can be hectic and stressful. Eating whole, unprocessed, nutrient dense foods 80% of the time will protect our health for the 20% of the occasions where convenience, parties and indulgences take over!

Refuting all claims of a shrinking defence budget, the Indian Finance Minister announced a 5% increase in the defence budget for 2013-14. Coming at a time of increasing defence spending, and more recently, allegations of corruption during procurement, how can India put the new budget to effective use?
By Aakash Brahmachari
Mar. 5 – In an effort to dismiss any talk of compromising on defence, the Budget for 2013-2014 has increased India's Defence Budget by 5% from last year to Rs. 2,03,672 crores ($42.5 billion). This includes Rs. 86, 741 crores ($16 billion) on arms acquisitions which is a hike of 9% over last year. Even as this will ensure India remains a leading arms importer, it will be a welcome relief if these purchases are not tainted by allegations of corruption.
Reports from the 'Choppergate' scandal indicate that middlemen were paid about Rs. 162 crores ($30million) to swing the decision in AgustaWestland's favour.
This is worth about 4% of the Rs. 3,700 crores ($750 million) deal. A quick calculation reveals that if the rate of commission remains constant, middlemen stand to make Rs. 215 crores ($40 million) for every Rs. 5, 375 crores ($1 billion) worth of Indian arms acquisitions. In other words, though the new budget worth Rs. 86, 741 crores may be spread across different deals, it can still potentially net middlemen a commission of Rs. 3,440 crores ($640 million). In a nation of 1.2 billion citizens, that amounts to each citizen sharing a burden of about Rs. 20 ($0.5) for these commissions.
What can Rs. 3, 440 crores buy?

Original paper
Hydrology as a major factor determining plankton development in two floodplain segments and the River Danube, Austria

Hydrological connectivity is central to the understanding of ecological processes in large river-floodplain systems. Effects of hydrological connectivity were investigated in context with the restoration of ecological integrity. In Austria, downstream of Vienna, the River Danube and two floodplain segments were compared, based on their hydrological and physico-chemical conditions. The biomass of bacterio-, phyto-, proto- and metazooplankton was studied along with the controlling environmental factors influenced by hydrological processes. Lotic conditions led to higher phytoplankton biomass, whereas under lentic conditions the heterotrophic compartments dominated the plankton. The biomass ratio of phyto- to bacterioplankton declined as hydrological connectivity decreased.

OnePlus 5T review: Hands-on
Very slow pc after installing via driver
I have read thru every thread that i can find on via's website regarding an odd situation i have come across and i hope someone here can point me in the right direction.
After numerous registry errors and various crashes, umpteen game installs and UNinstalls, i decided the time was right for a clean install for the kids machine. This computer uses Win98se, (it's much better for gaming).
I formatted and installed 98Se with no problems at all. My first step then was to install the via driver which came with the board ( via service pack 4.23).This i have done a couple of times in the past with no problems at all. The plan then would be to update it with the 4.38 driver, and poss try the 4.48 driver as suggested by Gigabyte.
However, as soon as i installed the 4.23 and then rebooted,i see that the computer has gone and slammed the brakes on! I mean it takes upwards of 5 minutes to boot up to windows.
Boot up time with windows only on the hard drive is less 60 secs.
Boot up time with windows AND via 4.23 (or any other via driver )almost 5 minutes.!?!?
I have went thru bios very carefully and all is as it should be.
I tried to uninstall the driver, but the slow down isn't cured.I then tried various fixes, from installing other drivers over the top, to reformatting the drive and trying various other drivers, but each time time system slows to a crawl. It is so slow to boot that i can go make a coffee and be sat down and watch it finish loading up.
The computer is fine without any of the drivers installed, but not so fine when i install any via drivers.
I am well and trully stumped.
Mobo gigabyte GA-7zx
Cpu amd Duron 1.2G
Memory 256mb
geforce2 mx 440
Any suggestions will be gratefully recieved.
Thanks for the help but i had already tried that.
However, i have managed to resolve the situation by simply NOT enabling DMA mode.Everything is now perfect.
I am wondering why this should be because i have never had to do this before.
Strangly when i installed PowerDVD,i am given the option here to enable DMA mode,which i did out of curiosity.Everything is as it should be with none of the problems i had previously experienced.
I shall tick this as resolved,but perhaps someone could enlighten me as to why the oddity of the DMA situation.
Thanks once again.
Power dvd i think only puts DMA mode on cd drives and not the hdd,whitch is why it doesnt affect the boot up.
This thread is now locked and can not be replied to.

This story originally published on Fairplay.IHS.com.
After a long period of escalating distress in the wake of lower oil pricing, George Economou-led Ocean Rig UDW has finally sought court protection. On 28 March, the NASDAQ-listed drillships owner announced a comprehensive restructuring via four separate but connected main court proceedings in the Cayman Islands and an ancillary proceeding in New York under the Chapter 15 bankruptcy code.
The company, which migrated its domicile from the Marshall Islands to the Cayman Islands in April 2016 (and shifted its executive office address to the Caymans in September 2016), owns 11 ultra-deepwater drillships and has three on order. Six of its drillships are laid up and of the remaining five, four have contracts expiring in 2017–18. As of 31 December 2016, Ocean Rig had assets of USD4.09 billion and liabilities of USD4.08 billion.
A restructuring agreement has been reached with holders of 73% of Ocean Rig's debt whereby USD3.7 billion in existing debt would be exchanged for equity in the restructured company, plus USD288 million in cash, and USD450 million in new secured debt. The restructuring agreement also calls for new ten-year management contracts for the company's drillships with Economou-controlled TMS Offshore.
US court protection is being sought to stave off what the company's CFO, Anthony Kandylidis, described as "speculative distressed-debt traders" seeking to "stymie the debtor's restructuring efforts in order to extract value which they are not entitled to". Kandylidis, who is Economou's nephew, said in his affidavit that these "recalcitrant creditors" include some holders of the company's senior secured notes as well as the largest holder of Ocean Rig stock. The company's largest stakeholder (with 16% ownership, topping Economou's 9%) is James Dondero, founder of Dallas-based Highland Capital Management.
Ocean Rig noted that the company's largest equity holder (i.e., Dondero) is also "through his company the largest holder of the senior unsecured notes and a holder of loans under the credit agreements".
Highland's recent behaviour suggests that Economou and Ocean Rig may be in for a fight. On 17 March, Highland issued a press release that disclosed Ocean Rig's plan for a "drastic restructuring" after a confidentiality agreement between Highland and Ocean Rig was terminated. Highland disclosed that it had multiple talks with the company and its executives, including Economou, in January and February, and publicly posted a memo marked 'Confidential' on Ocean Rig's restructuring assumptions that was titled 'Project Olympus' and dated 18 February.
By the time Ocean Rig filed for bankruptcy relief, the value of Economou's stake in the company had long since evaporated. He owns 7.4 million shares of Ocean Rig, worth just USD1.7 million as of the closing bell on 28 March, and that remaining equity value would be lost in the restructuring (it was not clear from the bankruptcy filing if and to what extent Economou owns any Ocean Rig debt that would be converted to equity in the restructured entity). To put this in perspective, Economou's equity holdings in Ocean Rig in May 2014, including direct holdings and indirect holdings through his DryShips stake at that time, had a 'paper' value of around USD275 million.
The Ocean Rig bankruptcy is just the latest plot twist in the ever-evolving, often-controversial business drama that has swirled around Economou for many years. Currently, the Greek magnate's most significant equity interests in shipping are in his private vessel ownership and management entities: TMS Tankers, TMS Bulkers, TMS Cardiff Gas, and TMS Offshore. He also holds a 19.7% stake in NYSE-listed container-ship owner Danaos Corp and a 49% stake in Connecticut-based pool operator Heidmar, which is reportedly in the process of being sold.
At NASDAQ-listed DryShips, the company Economou is most commonly associated with in the United States, his ownership is now below 1% and his income is derived from related-party commercial management fees and interest payments, as he now owns the vast majority of the company's debt – USD85.1 million of which he obtained at a 44% discount. Despite owning very few common shares, he retains control of the company's voting rights through his Series D preferred shares.
DryShips, where Kandylidis serves as president and CFO and Economou is chairman and CEO, has become increasingly active in its fleet rebuilding process, pursuing an eclectic multi-sector strategy. On 27 March, DryShips announced the acquisition of four 206,000 dwt Newcastlemax bulkers from unaffiliated third parties for USD124 million. The bulkers will be delivered by the end of June, with two to be deployed in the spot market and two on time charters. Economou highlighted the "historical low prices" of the acquisitions and noted that "spot rates have continued to improve", with the outlook being positive "given the modest orderbook and continued strength in the Chinese economy, which generates demand for raw commodities".
Although the ships were ultimately acquired from third parties, broker reports indicated that Economou's private bulker arm served as a 'middle man' in the transaction. In mid-February, Allied Shipbroking reported the sale of the four ships – the 2013-built Moritz Oldendorff and Valley Star, the 2014-built Super Star, and the 2015-built Wish Star – to Economou's TMS for an aggregate price of USD121.2 million. According to IHS Markit Sea-web data, the previous owner was China-based Hongxiang Shipping.
Overall, DryShips has committed USD393.5 million to fleet acquisitions in the year to date, including deals for the four Newcastlemaxes, as well as for two very large gas carrier (VLGC) newbuilds acquired from Economou's TMS Cardiff Gas for USD83.5 million each, and two tankers acquired for USD102.5 million from third parties (a 2011-built very large crude carrier and an Aframax newbuild resale for delivery in the second quarter).
DryShips has options to purchase two more VLGC newbuilds from Economou that expire on 4 April, implying an imminent decision on those deals. If both options are exercised, the amount committed by DryShips to fleet growth would increase to USD560.5 million. Acquired tonnage is in addition to a legacy fleet of 13 older Panamax bulkers and six offshore support vessels.
DryShips' recent vessel acquisitions have been facilitated by a highly successful series of so-called 'equity line' offerings to Kalani Investments. Three offerings to Kalani since November 2016 have raised USD500 million, with Kalani purchasing discounted shares from DryShips and reselling them to other stock traders. Under the sales agreements, Kalani was not able to own more than 5% of DryShips' stock, but high demand for DryShips' shares among retail investors allowed Kalani to promptly conclude its share 'recycling' transactions, allowing DryShips to swiftly raise funding for vessel acquisitions.
Kalani's footprint in the US-listed shipping sector is expanding. Following its DryShips purchases, it signed and then twice expanded an equity line deal with Evangelos Pistiolis-led Top Ships for the purchase of up to USD12.5 million worth of shares, then provided a USD10 million promissory note to Top Ships on 28 March. On 22 March, Kalani agreed to purchase up to USD150 million of securities from Simeon Palios-led Diana Containerships.
Little is known about Kalani Investments beyond the fact that it is registered in the British Virgin Islands, its listed directors are attorneys at Malta law firm Hassans, and it has New York legal representation specialising in alternative investments. DryShips and Diana Containerships have stated that Kalani is an unrelated third party. A source in a position to have knowledge of Kalani told Fairplay that a Canadian funding source is behind the entity.
For DryShips, the success of the Kalani offerings and the steady pace of its fleet rebuilding imply that more share issuances are on the horizon. Indeed, the company's annual report promised more stock sales, affirming that this year's operations will be funded by "cash generated from operations, bank debt, and equity offerings, or a combination thereof".

Question: What Does a Vice President Do?

Answer: A vice president (VP) is generally the second or third in command in an organization. This depends on whether the person who is the president and the person who is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) have separate titles and roles. Many times in an organization, the title of president and CEO are held by one person which makes VPs second in command.

The vice president has specific responsibilities depending on the needs of his or her organization. Thus, these job responsibilities vary from organization to organization.

As with any level of management in an organization, the vice president's role starts with the fundamental job responsibilities of a manager. These are the basic oversight responsibilities of anyone who operates in an organization as a manager with reporting staff members. Start with these to understand the role of a vice president.

More Than One Individual Holds the Vice President's Position

Unlike the roles of CEO or president, organizations usually have more than one individual who is acting in the vice president job. The larger the organization, the more VPs you can expect to see. To provide career paths for senior leaders and to manage organizational functions, the VP title is earned by leaders as their position moves up the organization chart.

So, for example, in a company, you will find a VP of finance, a VP of marketing, a VP of operations, a VP of sales, a VP of HR, and a VP of technology, to name just a few.

In these situations, the senior VP is often given the title of senior VP or executive VP and the other VPs may report to him or her or to the president or CEO. In any case, the person designated senior VP is second in command to the president.

In some cases, the VP will hold responsibility for several departments in an organization. You might see a VP of sales and marketing, for example, with a director of sales and a director of marketing reporting to him while he or she reports to the president. The senior position, director, designates responsibility for a function such as marketing.

In some cases, the VP is also recognized as an officer of the company which brings additional authority, responsibility and accountability to his or her doorstep. But, even your non-officer role of the vice president bears significant responsibility, accountability, and authority within an organization.

Consequently, the VP has these additional responsibilities.

Responsibilities of a Vice President (VP)

Participating on the president or CEO-led team that creates the organization's overall vision, mission, values, beliefs, and strategic goals.

Creating, communicating and implementing the organization's vision, mission, and overall direction within his or her areas of responsibility such as the finance department or HR.

Leading, guiding, directing, and evaluating the work of other executive leaders including assistant vice presidents, senior directors, and managers.

Formulating and implementing the strategic plan that guides the direction of their business or their area of functional responsibility, such as developing the marketing strategic plan, in addition to implementing the overall strategic direction.

Achieving the organization's overall strategic goals and contributing to the sales and profitability requirements of the business as determined by the strategic plans.

Forming, staffing, guiding, leading and managing an organization of sufficient capability and size to accomplish the vice president's responsibilities and job requirements.

Overseeing the complete operation of an organization in accordance with the direction established in the strategic plans.

Evaluating the success of the organization. Does the organization achieve the overall success that was budgeted for, planned for, and strategically aimed to accomplish? If not, why not? And, if not, answer the question about how to get the organization back on track.

Maintaining awareness of both the external and internal competitive landscape, opportunities for expansion, customers, markets, new industry developments and standards, and so forth. Generally, seeking to stay in tune with any opportunities that the organization can leverage.

Performing other responsibilities as assigned by the president or the CEO.

You will find the final objective appears in most job descriptions. It is set to allow the boss of the position to assign any other responsibilities, that may not have been foreseen, that can help the organization achieve success. It is not an opportunity to run rough shod over a person's time and contribution.

So, for example, the VP of marketing leaves the organization. The president might assign the VP of sales to oversee marketing during the six months it will take them to replace the individual who served in this senior role. In most situations, a director of marketing would still run the department day-to-day and receive only oversight from the acting VP, his new boss temporarily.

As you can see, the job of a VP is broadly charged with doing senior level leadership within an organization. In fact, the VP oversees what is essentially a mini-company that is part of the larger overall organization. You will want to see more about the role of a VP.

Take a look also, at the job responsibilities of the other positions that were linked thoughout this article to add to your overall understanding about how organizations are structured and staffed.

The Future of African Mobile Profitability: Surviving the End of the Mobile Golden Age
Market Study
Published: July 2015
Pages: 120
Research from: Xalam Analytics
Sector: Mobile
From: GBP 1249.00
Report Overview
African mobile operators are gradually leaving the highly successful world of circuit-switched, voice and messaging services, for the more uncertain era of data, digital applications and Over The Top (OTT) services. Rarely has an industry been as celebrated as the African mobile industry over the past decade – and deservedly so. From its unprecedented ability to alter human interaction and communication, change the fabric of entire economic sectors, attract massive infrastructure investment, the contribution of the telecoms sector to African development over the past fifteen years has been truly transformational.
And yet, even as the industry continues to bask under such well-deserved plaudits, seldom have the fundamentals that have long underpinned its success been so much under threat and its future so unremittingly cloudy. Our research suggests that the African mobile market has entered a phase of acute turbulence, at the exit of which many players will come transformed, no longer mere telecoms operators, but full-fledged platforms for digital service innovation. Others will not make this great trek, felled as they will be by the combined effect of OTT service cannibalization, destructive competition, regulatory apathy and shortsightedness, voracious and misguided tax policies, weak supporting infrastructure, shareholder impatience, and their own inability to realize they're in trouble and act accordingly.
This report provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of the dynamics that underpin mobile profitability in Africa. Building on extensive quantitative analysis, a dozen interviews with market players and one of the region's most extensive quantitative databases, the report proposes some answers to some of the most critical questions facing African operators, from voice/data cannibalization to the impact of Over the Top Players, the purported necessity of 4G, the impact of tower sales, the declining valuation of African mobile assets and more. Xalam Analytics research team lays out the roadmap for African mobile operator transformation from mere telcos into full-fledged digital platforms.
Sample Key Questions Examined
> What has been the evolution of mobile subscriptions and revenues?
> What will be the long term contribution of mobile data?
> Is Africa's golden age of mobile over? Why?
> How are FX fluctuations impacting revenues?
> Are African mobile operators profitable? How is their profitability trending?
> Will data services cannibalize voice and messaging revenues?
> How are OTT players impacting operator revenues?
> What are some approaches to dealing with OTTs?
> Can African mobile operators monetize data?
> Should operators leapfrog 3G to jump into 4G?
> Is 4G merely another Trojan horse for OTT players?
> What is the outlook for voice revenues?
> Is there a future for messaging revenues?
> Where is 4G available in Africa? What impact has it had to date?
> What has been the evolution of mobile operating expenses?
> Does mobile money really make a difference to the bottom line or is it mostly hype?
> What is the outlook for African mobile CapEx?
> Do Tower Sales really Make a Difference to Operator Performance and Profitability?
> How have African mobile operator valuations trended over the past 10 years?
> How do Pan-African Players Benchmark against each other?
> How does Etisalat's acquisition of Maroc Telecom Impact the Pan-African Order?

Slow-boating up the Mekong... Day One
Pakbeng Travel Blog› entry 23 of 26 › view all entries
August 20th, 2008 – by: Zymosis
In the evening after walking through the night market I bumped into the Toronto Two, and ended up going out to dinner with them and an Irish couple. After dinner we did what everyone in Luang Prabang does when it gets late - we went bowling! Seriously, the town has a bowling alley up above town in the middle of nowhere. That's right, eight questionably flat lanes of rock-rolling bliss. When we got there it was just us and a bunch of locals having a blast.
I arrived at the docks on the 20th around 8am, and we were all hustled onto the boat, a long, narrow contraption wide enough for two small seat benches and a walkway in between. To call these benches masochistic would be an understatement. The bottom part of the bench was literally about six inches front to back, and from there the backrest rose vertically. If you've got the world's smallest ass and best posture, they might be ok.
The slow-boat is exactly what it sounds like, and the scenery all starts to look the same after the first hour. The intermitent rain didn't do much to brighten anyone's day either. Did I mention how uncomfortable these seats were? The German Five from Vietnam were also on the boat, though they were down to the German Three. Pretty crazy seeing them, as I haven't seen them since Ha Long Bay.
We did see some cool things, however. At one point we passed by a cave-temple that rises out of the river. While we couldn't see much behind the docked tourboat, I've heard it's a pretty neat place to explore with lots of Buddha statues and such. The river was higher than usual, and was filled with debris from recent rains. The notorious speedboats that can get you to the border in six hours are infamous for exploding/flipping when they hit anything in the water.
We arrived in Pak Beng, the halfway point, a bit after dark. The entire town is on one short street, with a few guesthouses and places to eat. They turn off the electricity at 10pm. This place was tiny. We ate at this Indian place that had some damn-good samosas. I shared a room with one of the Germans and got another scarily high fever. Godamnit.

Roasted Rose Petal Beets
December, 2014 · By Coryanne Ettiene
I know very few jokes, and the ones I do know, I over use. Strangers think I'm funny, but that is only because I use up all my good jokes in the first meeting. By the time we have our second 'date' they are, in all honesty, old and tiresome. The way I see it, if you are still laughing with me and not at me by the time you hear them again, then we will be life long friends. Such is the case with "The beet goes on". Classic right? But if you follow me on Instagram you are either still laughing or wondering when I will get new material because every single time I post a photo of beets, I let this one fly right past my lips and onto the screen. It's funny right?
But like my 5 old faithful jokes, I have the same old tiresome beet recipes that I make time after time…because they are damn good and why should I really go to all the trouble of changing a good thing? But then I got fancy at Thanksgiving and thought I would take a walk on the wild side by dressing up my roasted beets. They are more like a work in progress then finished masterpiece. I want to play with them, give them a few new tricks before I share a recipe, but I like where it is headed so rather than wait, I thought us fellow beet lovers could collaborate, explore and discover the next best thing together.
Slicing them was simple. Coming up with idea of a garlic head centerpiece was easy. Arranging them a breeze (so long as you have enough). But the tricky part comes when you start to roast them. I like my beets, soft in center, slightly firm on the outside and slathered in roast chicken drippings. Clearly roasting them like this means that you miss out on all the drippings so I scattered a few bacon strips in there for good measure — pure genius frankly, but still the exposed edges crisped to quickly for my taste, and the center is not quite perfect. So I turned down he heat the next time, and cooked them for longer… nearly there but not quite. My next attempt will be thicker slices. But if you like your beets crispy, 400F for 40 minutes will tickle your fancy, especially if you are generous with the bacon slices and use thinly sliced beets. I'm having a fabulous time perfecting this rose petal beet dish, especially since every failure leaves me with a hearty portion of roasted beets perfect for a winter salad.

Bring your own WiFi–the FCC fines Smart City $750,000!
USA Today (click here for story) reports that Smart City, a major internet and WiFi provider at trade shows across the country, has been fined $750,000 for jamming WiFi signals and forcing exhibitors to pay fees to use their own WiFi. "It is unacceptable for any company to charge consumers exorbitant fees to access the Internet while at the same time blocking them from using their own personal Wi-Fi hotspots to access the Internet," said Travis LeBlanc, chief of the Federal Communication Commission's enforcement bureau, in a news release"
NewLeads has fought this practice for several years and finally, thanks in large part to the hard work of exhibitor-rights advocate Ian Framson of Trade Show Internet (TSI), a provider of WiFi kits for exhibitors. The FCC investigated a TSI formal complaint and found Smart City to be in violation of jamming TSI customers in several instances. This is the second FCC crackdown on WiFi jamming in a year; the previous $750,000 fine was levied against Marriott nearly a year ago. Thanks and kudos to Ian Framson and TSI for taking the time and spending the money to fight this illegal practice, Please send him a congrats and your thanks to: firstname.lastname@example.com. Great job, Ian; this is a win for all exhibitors.

Legal Question in Insurance Law in California
my friend made an accident with my car and my car insurance was not active at that time and neither he had an inurance. it was the other partys fault for the accident as they hit my car by breaking a red light. police report was also filed and my frnd exchanged insurance details. we contacted the others partys insurance and claimed for our car.however my insurance said us that it was not responsible for any claims against them as the policy was not in effect at the time of accident. and looks like the other party insurance guys cannot claim my insurance provider as it was their mistake for the accident. the other party insurance agent came to my home and took photographs of my car and said that ''we will investigate it and let u know the amount of loss in couple of days if we confirm that its our mistake.'' and today is 12th day and am filing the SR1 today.will there be any problem from dmv as i state in the form that my insurance was not effective at the time of accident. and the other question is will the other partys insurance come to know that my insurance was not in effect at the time of accident and will they deny paying me the money.
And how far is my licence and me is safe as the accident was not made by me and it was my frnd.i was not in the state.
