Sensex, Nifty to open on a flat note
India Infoline News Service | Mumbai | January 02, 2017 08:44 IST
Asian indices opened in the green with most markets still in holiday mode. The retracement of the US$ saw currency gains for most countries which prompted buying in equities. Financials, materials & infra stocks gained with gold & oil prices seeing profit booking
After a year of negligible gains for the Indian equity market, 2017 starts on hopes that this year will be better in many aspects. During the year, the Nifty hit a low of 6826 in Feb 2016 then surged to 8969 in September 2016. Then came a plethora of concerns which reduced the risk appetite for emerging markets. Trump's US presidential victory, strengthening of US Dollar and the demonetization drive dominated the headlines towards the end of the year.
The much-awaited New Year's address by Prime Minister Narendra Modi saw a slew of initiatives being announced which focused on the rural segment, small businesses, women and the banking sector.
The PM highlighted a stark reality that a mere 24 lakh Indians had declared that they had an annual income of above Rs 10 lakhs.
Bank stocks will be in focus after leading lenders announced a cut in loan rates. Profit booking is expected at higher levels later in the day unless global markets keep the momentum going.
The Indian economy remains one of the fastest growing economies as it grew 7.2% in the first half of the current fiscal.
Among other stocks in focus:
SBI, PNB, Union Bank: State Bank, Punjab National Bank and Union Bank slashed their benchmark lending rates by up to 90 basis points.
Infosys Ltd: Infosys Ltd has offered $868,250 in severance pay to former chief compliance officer and executive vice-president David Kennedy, who quit the company on Saturday, drawing flak for awarding such unusually high compensation to an outgoing executive.
Maruti Suzuki: India's largest car maker Maruti Suzuki India reported 1% decline in total sales at 117,908 units in December 2016 as against 119,149 units in the year-ago period. The company's domestic sales stood at 106,414 units, down 4.4% from 111,333 units in December 2015. Read more
PSU Oil stocks: Petrol price was on Sunday hiked by Rs1.29 a litre, the third increase in a month, and diesel rate was raised by 97 paise a litre, the second hike in a fortnight.
Coal India: Coal India allocated 3.1 million tonnes of coal under spot e-auction in November 2016, down 29.5% from the year-ago period.
Lakshmi Vilas Bank: Private sector Lakshmi Vilas Bank has raised Rs 167.8 crore through issuance of 1.19 crore equity shares on qualified institution placement (QIP) basis.
Transformers and Rectifiers (India): The company has informed bourses that it has been awarded the order for 40 No. of 15MVA and 40 No. of 20MVA Power Transformers with Natural/synthetic EsterBSE 0.26 % Oil of 66 kV Class amounting to Rs 92 crore from Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation Limited (GETCO).
Premier Explosives: The company has bagged an order worth Rs 33.18 crore from the Ministry of Defence for supplying chaffs and flares.
Bombay Dyeing: Bed and bath linen retailer Bombay Dyeing & Manufacturing Co said it has inked an agreement for sale of land, building and some machinery of Ranjangaon unit at an aggregate value of Rs 174.45 crore.
Siemens: In a major land deal, realty firm K Raheja Corp and Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC will jointly purchase a property located at Worli, Mumbai for Rs 610 crore from Siemens.
Eicher Motors: Royal Enfield, the two-wheeler division of Eicher Motors, reported a 42% jump in total sales at 57,398 units in December 2016. The two-wheeler manufacturer had sold 40,453 units in December 2015, Eicher MotorsBSE 1.56 % said in a BSE filing.

We are Beth and Megan.
We are Chickpeas and HulaHoops.
What's this all about? Well… nothing, really. And everything. It's a place for us to share our stories. Our observations of the world. Our snark. Our twisted interpretations of everyday events. It will be random. And fun. We like random and fun. And smiling. Smiling's our favorite.
About us more specifically:
Megan is currently a researcher in a hematology lab at the University of Colorado. When she's not playing with blood, she is playing roller derby. Or trying to teach herself how to program computers. Or watching her dog spin in circles. She loves Twizzlers, sarcasm, and summer rain showers. Squirrels scare her as they are evil, little monsters set on world domination. She's really good at Google and drawing poorly.
Beth works in a comedy club office, but she was funny before that. She is annoyingly optimistic, and is in love with cute animal websites. Sparkly things are pretty neat too. In her free time she snowboards, rollerskates, cooks, and slaps John, her live-in boyfriend, away from her homemade cookies. She also agrees with Megan that squirrels, although cute, will be what brings humankind crashing down to usher in the start of the apocalypse. Oh, and zombies. Many, many zombies.

New Changes in Na`Vi.Dota 2
We changed our Dota 2 squad 2 months ago. Today we are ready to announce new changes in it. Unfortunately notwithstanding the last victory at D2CL, the total amount of losses has gone beyond the limit.
We have to inform that Artem "fng" Barshak does leave our team to be replaced by Arthur "Goblak" Kostenko. We are very grateful to Artem that he accepted our invitation in the past and we are very sorry that we have to part with him so soon. Artem is a great player with a significant potential. He'll surely have a brilliant e-sports carreer.
This decision has nothing to do with Artem's level of game performance, the results at D2CL proving that. However the squad's results of the last tournaments showed that the team has lacked the leader's decisions lately.
In the meantime we say "Welcome" to Arthur "Goblak" Kostenko. Again. Note that Goblak was in Na`Vi squad in 2011. Afterwards he played in various teams, including DTS, Empire, dd, Quantic Gaming, Virtus.pro. Additionally he acted as a coach of the Born to Win in the previous gaming season. The last creation of Arthur was NVMI (later renamed to Virtus.pro Polar). He personally invited players to this team and lead them to a number of important victories in this season.

Can you guys believe it's been 10 years since High School Musical aired on Disney and solidified Zac Efron as a forever heartthrob? For those of you that were as obsessed with the movie as I was and wonder if the main cast actually like each other, I've got good news: They (apparently) do!
Efron celebrated his 29th birthday on October 18th and his High School Musical cast members, Ashley Tisdale (Sharpay Evans) and Monique Coleman (Taylor McKessie), took to social media to wish him a happy birthday and post some awesome throwback pictures.
Zac And Ashley's Piggyback Picture
@ashleytisdale: Happy birthday buddy! @ZacEfron you will always be the Troy to my Sharpay. [Love] you brother!
Monique Coleman's Adorable Throwback
@_moniquecoleman: Happy Birthday @zacefron I'm always proud of you, always rooting for you & eternally grateful for all the memories. I hope your last 20 is your best yet! Xx
The Boys Reunion
Earlier this month, Efron made fans effectively freak out by posting a reunion picture with Lucas Grabeel (Ryan Evans) and Corbin Bleu (Chad Danforth) at Bleu's Broadway debut for Holiday Inn.
@ZacEfron: @MrGrabeel and I saw @corbinbleu DANCE on AIR ala Fred Astaire last night. Lit the stage on [fire]! Check out #HolidayInnMusical. #theboysareback

King tells how Michelangelo Buonarroti, known as a sculptor not as a painter, spent four years painting the ceiling of the newly restored Sistine Chapel for Pope Julius II while power politics and personal rivalries swirled around him. He was 33 when he was summoned back to Rome, from which he had fled vowing never to return. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
King's historical account of the four years Michelangelo Buonarroti spent frescoing the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome is splendid, thorough and detailed. But its larger appeal lies in the way King (Brunelleschi's Dome) brings out the story's human elements. Listeners learn of Michelangelo's bitter disappointment when a project he was eagerly looking forward to (the construction of the Pope's tomb) was cancelled and that he had little experience with the art of fresco and was reluctant to take on the Sistine Chapel. King explains the craft of frescoing with involving details: for example, fresco dries quickly, so the artist could work only in small sections, and if a mistake was found after the paint dried, the whole day's work had to be chipped away and redone. Listeners also learn of Michelangelo's financial woes and family problems and the political upheavals of the time. Sklar's narration is perfect for the project. His lively and expressive reading add a realistic edge to a centuries-old tale. He speaks passionately and his accent on the Italian names and phrases is flawless.

My intro
Well since I asked for some advice on a different board I thought I should do an introduction.
I am a bi-curious female married with 3 children-in my 30s. I have known for a long time I am poly-inclined. (inclined-because I have never had a relationship outside of marriage at this time.) Would have probably been more active in the relationship department if I was not so busy with the 3 kids. Have been married for 11 years together for 12. We talked about it 8-9 years ago and decided on an open marriage. (He is more open marriage inclined-me more poly, but he knows that!)
Most of my family, and his dad know we have an open marriage. Though that has caused some complications when he has a relationship and I don't! One of these days I will start a blog and mention when my family met his girlfriend! LOL!
We are not actively in/seeking other relationships right now, but if they happen, they happen.

Storytelling Around the World
Third and fifth grade explored the world of story telling through the lens' of other cultures. Students learned about the dances of the Irish, the colorful mighty dragon of the Chinese, the hieroglyphics of the Ancient Egyptians, the gods and goddess of the Grecian, and the songs of the Native Americans. Applying this new found knowledge the students worked in groups to tell their own story using the methods of the culture they researched. Ms. Hamlett and I are extremely proud of our students. They have a deeper understanding of other cultures, why stories are so important to sharing traditions, and why knowing your own heritage and story is important for future generations.
To conclude our project a friend of Ms. Hamlett joined us. The inspiring Garteh Laffely shared is award winning Native American Flute skills with the SJV community. He connected culture to community through his own story. We were happy to honest Gareth and hope to have other interactions with him in the future.
Check out the talent of our students and of Gareth!

How to…make sure the message is loud and clear when it comes to employee benefits
Monday April 20, 2015
Whilst employee benefits are just part of the formula for engaging your people, today's business realises that a great employee benefits package is essential for attracting and retaining top talent. However, not all businesses have quite understood the best ways to communicate the value of those benefits once the great package is in place. Research by Unum found that 64% of employers that have invested in employee benefits are not effectively communicating them to their people and are, therefore, missing out on the advantages of offering great benefits.
Having worked with clients across the country to not only help them select the best benefits package, but also to help them communicate it, I've learned some great tips for communicating benefits along the way. So I'll get straight to it, here are my top three tips:
1. Look to the contract.
It's certainly difficult to talk about employee benefits in any official communication with employees because – let's be honest now – they often just don't read them. Regular communications, such as payslip notes, often go unread so it's little use including material on benefits with those. What can work, though, is to include information on a company's employee benefits in more than one place, staring with the employment contracts, employee handbook that are signed off by the employee.
2. Engage a professional to explain them.
I'd recommend hosting workplace financial education sessions hereby a specialist in the subject will come along to the workplace to talk about the various financial options available to employees before having one-to-one meetings with them to discuss benefits such as pensions and protection. This is of great benefit to the employee and is a very positive additional benefit, which reflects the caring and responsible attitude of the employer. In my experience, the prospect of free financial advice paid for by the employer is very appealing, resulting in attendances higher than one would expect, and whilst there will be cost involved it is easily balanced by the benefits.
3. Make comms count.
I often visit workplaces and find that the company has put an uninspiring looking notice on an equally uninspiring looking notice board tucked away in a corridor or office somewhere. It's really important to make all comms eye catching and inspiring so engage in-house design or marketing to help and put messages together that can be displayed in a variety of ways; on a well placed notice board, digitally, maybe even on the back of the loo door! And do make sure the information is regularly updated and refreshed.
So those are my three top ways to communicate employee benefits in a manner that will encourage employees to take note. It is possible to get people engaged with benefits by addressing them from day one, and keeping the conversation alive.

Longboat Key police suspect a longtime maintenance supervisor at Windward Bay condominium is responsible for a string of periodic thefts of jewelry and other small valuables at the 151-unit community.
The latest incident occurred Feb. 2, when a four-carat diamond ring valued at $85,000 and other jewelry pieces were stolen from a unit.
Detective Kristina Roberts identified 17-year maintenance supervisor Michael Artman as the prime suspect in the theft and had also considered him the suspect in the ongoing string of incidents.
The four-carat stone, minus the ring, was located and seized in a Manhattan jewelry clearinghouse and traced back to a Bradenton Beach jewelry store, where Artman allegedly sold the ring.
Police say Artman confessed to the burglary/theft and at least two dozen other thefts from Windward Bay during his time of employment. A subsequent investigation into the Bradenton Beach jewelry store showed that Artman had been selling jewelry to the business for years on dates linked closely to the dates of prior condo burglaries.
Artman is currently being held in the Manatee County Jail on $22,500 bond on charges of burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, theft after trust and dealing/possession of stolen property.
Police hope to charge Artman and the jewelry store owners with other crimes but believe recovery of additional jewelry is unlikely.
Police say that when Roberts asked Artman how he got away with so many burglaries for so long, he replied, "I couldn't have done it if they locked their doors."
For more information, pick up an April 3 copy of the Longboat Observer.

How important are blades of your vinyl cutting machine? Think of it like this. Your cutting machine may be a basic model or an advanced contour cutting, digital cutter. All of that power and accuracy is directed to your vinyl through the blades. So, if the blade is not installed correctly or you are using worn-out blades or wrong blades, all of the power and accuracy is nullified. On the other hand on using correctly installed and right blade you get to enjoy all the benefits your vinyl cutter is able to deliver.
To assist you get the most of your vinyl cutting machine, we are offering this cutter blade FAQ.
In general, blades of vinyl cutting machines are not universally compatible. The blade must fit perfectly in the blade holder and the blade holder must fit perfectly in the tool carriage. So, whether you are out in the market buying a new blade holder or a blade, make sure it is compatible with the brand of cutter you use.
Geber cutters use Geber blades, Roland cutters use Roland blades, Graphtec cutters use Graphtec blades and so on. However, there are a few exceptions when talking about the newer manufacturers.
Whether you are installing a replacement vinyl cutter blade or buying a cutter blasé or installing the OEM blade in a brand new vinyl cutting machine, the primary thing you have to know is how much of the blade should be visible or out? If the blade is enough out for you to see and feel the tip, it is probably too far out.
Most inexperienced vinyl cutter owners poorly install the blade with too much of it extended from the holder. Set it in a way that you hardly see the tip. Then manually drag the blade holder across a sheet of vinyl making a square or a box pattern. You must be able to weed that easily, but there should not be deep scoring of the release liner. On flipping the vinyl over, you should not feel the cut line in the back of the liner. If you are able to cut vinyl manually without carving up the liner, then the blade is placed just right.
Window tint film is generally 2 mil or thinner, and doesn't include a Kraft paper release liner, so a 45° blade cuts too deeply. Vinyl Express Q Series and Graphtec users have the choice of using a specially made blade offered by Tint Tek 2020. This blade has a special angle optimized for accurately cutting window tint film.
"Flock" is a particular type of cuttable thermal transfer film, also known as "T-shirt Vinyl" that is used to replicate the thick, velvet like feel of a letterman sweater. Due to its thickness, a 60° blade would be needed for cutting flock. Therefore, the term 'flock blade'.
Trying to create finely detailed and very small fonts poses a challenge in front you. When a font size is approx. half inch, some parts of it are so small that the rotation of a standard 45° blade makes the edges of the vinyl to lift as the letter is being cut. It is like mowing around a sapling with a standard riding mower when you need a "Zero Turn" tractor. This is a difficult problem often termed to as 'vinyl ears'. In this case, using a 60° blade works by properly tightening the rotation of the blade tip in the holder. It also decreases the size of the blade's cutting edge. The result is accurately cut graphic with no lifting edges.
This is an important question, which blade to be used for which vinyl? The three most commonly used blade angles for vinyl cutting machine are 30, 45 and 60 degrees. Many manufacturers use only 45 and 60 degree blades. For standard sized graphics for PVC vinyls, a standard 45° blade is right choice. 30° blade option on the other hand is perfect for standard sized graphics in thin films like cast vinyl.

A delegation from the University of Cape Town (UCT) in South Africa visited Jinan University on Dec. 8. JNU Vice President Hong An held an official talk with Prof. Mamokgethi Phakeng, vice president of UCT, and Prof. Evance Kalula, head of its International Academic Cooperation Department. Pu Ruoqian, director of the Office of International Exchange and Cooperation, and Deng Di, assistant to the dean of the Management School, were present.
Hong introduced JNU's history and openness to overseas Chinese and scientific research. Phakeng express the wish that JNU and UCT could develop deep cooperation in medicine, business, journalism, intellectual property and other advantageous disciplines. Kalula proposed that the two universities start exchange programs to advance communication between students and teachers from the two universities.
Hong made an active response to these proposals and spoke highly of UTC's scientific strength. Pu introduced the detailed exchange program and said the China Scholarship Council was likely to establish a scholarship program in September.
(JNU and UTC signing the memorandum of understanding)
Formerly known as the South Africa Academy, established in 1829, UCT is the oldest university in South Africa. As a leading academic research center in Africa, the university enjoys a worldwide reputation in scientific research capacity, with two Nobel Prize winners on its faculty. Currently it has more than 17,000 students, one-third of whom are postgraduates, and six colleges: business; engineering and the design and environment; health sciences; humanities; law, and the Institute of technology. Vice President Song Xianzhong paid the first visit to UCT in September 2015, expressing JNU's good wishes on exchange and cooperation.

Crosses were all near post for the greater part of the game – and not very effective for it. Agree with Rich about Duff. I was starting to think that Riise's crosses were getting better and were in just the right areas about 30 seconds before he was hauled off.

China Premier Li Keqiang discusses trade and economic issues in NY
I had the privilege of attending the New York Economic Club Dinner on September 20, 2016, for Premier Li Keqiang of the People's Republic of China. The Premier held this position since March of 2013 and has been very active in the Chinese government since the 1990s. He was extremely engaging and articulate in his speech and responsive to the questions posed to him. This blog summarizes some of the key points he raised involving U.S./American trade and the economic issues, as well as the current economic climate in China.

Under the Premier's leadership, he claims he has abolished 40% of the regulations that have restricted foreign investment and has improved and encouraged more responsibility with respect to investment in China. He indicated that 90% of American companies made profits in China last year and that Chinese company investment in the U.S. has increased dramatically in the first half of 2016 compared to 2015. He credited Dr. Kissinger, who introduced him at the conference, with opening up trade to China, and he confirmed Dr. Kissinger's resolve to expand common grounds and resolve differences among China and the U.S.
Economic and Social Progress
The Premier indicated that China is making enormous economic and social progress to have peaceful solutions which are based upon international engagement and a stable environment. He revealed that China will follow the path of peaceful development and that China is still a developing country in the less developed regions in the South and West and working on stabilizing its growth. He indicated China is responsible for 50% of the world's growth. He signified that China is willing to uphold its internal order to uphold the United Nations Charter. He hopes China has a greater voice in developing countries and continues to promote economic balance and social progress. He specified that his country needs to work together and treat everyone as equals; a world of cultural differences, but with mutual respect.
He indicated the necessity of a win-win relationship with the United States and continuing a strategic policy in the following decades where China becomes more modern and developed. He also quoted the famous Biblical statement that states "no country should do unto others that they would not do to themselves." That got a laugh from the audience.
Response to Some Panel Member Questions
- In response to questions from panel members, the Premier indicated that China has made $1.7 trillion dollars of foreign investments and is now one of the largest investors in foreign countries in the world. He emphasized that China has advanced technology and expertise. He indicated there is a process to open up and seek wider cooperation. He again emphasized mutual respect rather than distrust and, in particular, with respect to currency rate issues.
- In response to a political question about the current election, the Premier indicated that media coverage tends to sensationalize stories. He stated that China has no basis to devalue the currency since that is not good for growth. He said their current valuation was not intended to increase exports. He emphasized the number of Chinese tourist trips to the United States per year which numbered 2.6 million last year and the fact that 600,000 Chinese students study in the United States.
- In response to questions about unfair trade agreements, he responded that no matter who is elected to the United States presidency, his goal is to have positive growth in relations and an increase in globalization which would benefit both the United States and China. He indicated there is an important issue regarding mutual dependence with the United States and China needing to reverse the trend of trade conflicts. He also emphasized China's involvement in the Paris Treaty for climate change and the commitment to likewise try to overcome global warming.
He emphasized drivers of the economy such as infrastructure development, underemployment and the streamlining of administration and relaxing regulation. He indicated the number of new businesses in China that are being opened every day have increased dramatically. He specified that China should continue to maintain at least a 4% to 5% growth for the coming years.

Call it a learning experience for Canadian soccer.
Maxi Rodriguez led a balanced attack with a pair of goals Monday as Argentina trounced Canada 5-0 in a soccer friendly.
The Argentines, ranked seventh in the world, had their way with an overmatched Canadian team that came in ranked 63rd. Angel Di Maria, Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguerro added goals for Argentina, which earned the victory in front of 65,000 at El Monumental Stadium.
Injuries and club commitments forced Canada to field a mix of youth and experience, with the main goal to get some experience as a group against one of the top sides in the world.
The result: Canada's worst loss since dropping a 5-1 decision to Czech Republic in November 2003 in Teplice. Canada lost 8-0 to Mexico in July 1993 in Mexico City.
"Today, it was school," said Canadian coach Stephen Hart.
El Monumental was a sea of noise an hour before kickoff. As the Canadian players came out for warm-ups, the host crowd whistled loudly and that was just a taste of what was to come.
Even though Canada may not have been a "prestige" friendly for the hosts, the fans reacted to every hard tackle, every close chance and showed how much passion there is in the country for the game.
"There is no friendly match when you are wearing the Argentine uniform," Argentina coach Diego Maradona said. "The guys showed we have a great team - and more. Argentines should relax, we have some tremendous players."
Argentina, playing its final game before next month's World Cup in South Africa, looked sound from the opening minute. The Argentines played without superstar Lionel Messi, but still had no trouble creating chances in its first-ever game against Canada.
"It's obviously something special for most of the players having probably seldom played in South America and in such a famous stadium and probably one of the favourite teams to win the World Cup so you know it's special for us," said Canadian captain Paul Stalteri.
Rodriguez played through into Canada's penalty area in the sixth minute, but Montreal's Andrew Hainault did well to get a foot in. Argentina's next wave of attack came just a minute later when Tevez swung in a cross from the right side, but Stalteri headed the ball out for a corner.
Argentina finally broke through in the 16th minute. Stalteri committed a foul on the right-hand side, just outside the box. Rodriguez's free kick was perfectly struck, finding its way into the net to the left of Canadian goalkeeper Pat Onstad.
Rodriguez added his second in the 32nd minute. With Argentina attacking quickly, Tevez ran onto a loose ball and fed Rodriguez, who was making a run from his right. The pass was played in stride to Rodriguez and his low shot got by Onstad.
A mesmerizing goal from Di Maria rounded off the first-half scoring. Di Maria picked up the ball about 25 yards from goal and let a shot go with the outside of his left foot that had both power and precision, hitting the top left corner.
"I thought the way we gave up the goals was kind of tough to swallow but I think it was a good lesson playing against one of the elite teams in the world," said Onstad, who earned his 57th cap for the national squad, the most by a goalkeeper.
Canada came out of the half-time break seeing a bit more possession but, in the 63rd minute, some poor marking allowed Di Maria to find a wide open Tevez for a simple tap-in from right in close.
Kelowna's Rob Friend had Canada's best chance not long after Argentina's fourth goal. A high cross from the left was met by Friend but Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero came out to stop the header.
Aguerro rounded out the scoring with another fantastic finish in the 71st minute. He beat defender Richard Hastings for pace on the left side before unleashing a shot across the goal that eluded Onstad.
"I don't think throughout the 90 minutes that they absolutely created too many chances on us," said Stalteri, "I think the chances came from our mistakes and I think that's what we need to tidy up to set ourselves up for qualifying."
Canada will play a second friendly on Saturday against Venezuela.Report Typo/Error

Ever wonder how to rob a bank? For most of us the answer is probably not, but if you are interested this infographic tells you how to pull it off.
The catch with this how to rob a bank guide is that it isn't about masks and guns, but about online banking information, spam and virus software. 74% of consumers use online systems for banking even though 85% say they are afraid of doing banking on public computers or over open public wireless networks. This fear is actually a good thing, because it shows that online banking users are aware of the potential risks to such practices.
From this point on the infographic turns from giving us information on consumer attitudes regarding online bank robberies to an actual guide to how the thieves do what they do.

"We could have bought a small yacht with what we spent on our dog and all the things he destroyed. Then again, how many yachts wait by the door all day for your return?"

When George heard that we were asking our Foundation's CEOs to donate lottery prizes to benefit our Foundation's Hot-Meal program at the PGA Cup Golf Tournament this week, he immediately contributed the Grand-Prize of TWO ROUNDTRIP BUSINESS CLASS TICKETS TO ROME! How's that for an introduction to the Foundation?
Craig Smith, CEO of EuroProperty announced a few weeks ago that a lottery will be held to benefit our FOUNDATION'S HOT-MEAL program at the PGA CUP Golf Tournament JUNE 1-3RD. The event will be held at the First Golf and Country Club, and there is still time for our member CEOs to donate a few special prizes for the lottery and to purchase tickets to win the Alitalia Business Class Tickets to Rome. There are still opportunities to play, sponsor, or get some VIP spectator tickets.

This is the next best thing to being there.

June 1-3rd - PGA Golf Cup Tournament and Lottery to benefit our PromiseKids.
John Wayne may never have said "Get off your horse and drink your milk" in one of his movies, but the "Duke" would have been proud to know that Cargill will once again make it possible for our PromiseKids to "get off their horses and drink their milk" again this school year. Yes, through a matching grant program arranged between Cargill Polska and Cargill USA, Cargill will provide fresh milk each school day to our PromiseKids in our 15 PromiseLand schools. This will be the fifth consecutive year that Cargill has provided the milk for our Foundation's Hot-meal program. Now, that's a major WOW!
One of General Manager, Roger Watchorn's last efforts was to transfer the Polish contribution of 60.000 PLN to our Foundation's account. Roger will transfer back to the United States in the next couple of week. We will soon prepare a proposal for a grant from Cargill USA, and the Cargill Global Partners Fund in the United States of America.
We are proud to have the full support and backing of Cargill, with its rich agricultural history dating back to W. W. Cargill's first grain storage facility on the American Frontier in 1865. The company has grown to become one of the largest, privately owned businesses, providing food, agricultural products, and services around the globe. Cargill employs 142,000 people in 61 countries.
We are delighted that Roger Watchorn caught the Foundation's vision over the past 3 years and became an active participant in all Foundation activities. We will miss Roger as he departs for his next Cargill duty station in Minneapolis.
We thank you Cargill and we thank you Roger (photo below) for this incredible gift to our PromiseKids.
A recent survey by Eurobarometer shows that only about 16 percent of young Poles take part in volunteer work. They are also reluctant to join and participate in sporting and cultural organizations. In fact, only 26 percent stated that they took part in this sort of activity in 2010. Out of the EU countries, Poland took last place in this category, far behind the Dutch who are in first place with nearly 68 percent. Analysts say the survey exposes a mindset reminiscent of the communist era, when membership in an organization was seen as supporting the system. Parents who grew up with this mindset rarely participate in such organizations, and therefore their children see no value participating as well. Most young Poles seem to be mostly concerned with investing their time and attention to activities that will result in a good job with good pay, and see no real value in volunteering.
It's no wonder we have trouble attracting Polish CEOs to our Foundation's membership.
A recent study done by Sedlak & Sedlak shows that only every third Polish worker is satisfied with their current job. The results show that the key to career satisfaction lies in the monetary reward the person is able to attain in their respective position. Those who are able to receive a high salary are usually the first to respond positively when asked about their job.
Over 57 percent of those in higher or directorial positions were content with their careers, while only 22 percent of workers in lower level jobs were satisfied.
June 1-3rd - PGA Golf Cup Tournament and Lottery to benefit our PromiseKids. Cocktails and lottery at 18:30, InterContinental Hotel on May 31st.
June 6-10th – McDonald's Graduation Trips to the Baltic.
June 9-10th – Michael Page International Cooking Trip to the PromiseLand.
July 1-3rd - InterContinental Hotel Scholars Program in Warsaw. The top scholar from each of our 15 schools will be the guest of the InterContinental Hotel.
August 2-13th - The Reagan Legacy Foundation's Liberty Education Tour to Washington, DC, Chicago, and LA...
August 18-19th – Randstad Stad Amsterdam Clipper Cruise.

Motiv Power Systems and XL Hybrids
Also Named to New Modifier Program
Ford is talking up a new Qualified Vehicle Modifier category its says "electrifies work trucks" but headed yesterday's announcement with Lightning Hybrids, which uses a hydraulic hybrid design dubbed ERS (for Energy Recovery System) to slash fuel use in light duty vehicles.
Colorado-based Lightning is one of three firms approved for the eQVM program, which was announced at this week's NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis. The others are California's Motiv Power Systems with all-electric drivelines, and Massachusetts-based XL Hybrids, which uses a combination of regenerative braking and batteries to reduce fuel use.
"The new eQVM program," says Ford, "helps fleet and commercial customers meet their unique and specific needs for durable, reliable electrified and hydraulic hybrid work trucks that retain the original powertrain warranty."
More Options for Ford Work Trucks
"Ford supports electrification for a variety of vehicle types," Ford sustainability and QVM program manager Dick Cupka said in yesterday's release.
"The eQVM program extends that support to the vocational truck industry where customers need relatively small numbers of specialized vehicles," he said: "there is no one-size-fits-all work truck."
Lightning ERS: 'a Compelling Option'
"For commercial and government fleets working to save fuel and substantially reduce emissions, our ERS technology is a compelling option for all of Ford's medium and heavy duty platforms, backed by the peace of mind offered by Ford's eQVM program," said Lightning CEO Tim Reeser said in an announcement today.
"Our system reduces NOx emissions by half and CO2 emissions by 25% compared to vehicles without it, and fleets see a quick return on investment," he said.
Lightning notes that this past autumn, UPS placed 50 ERS-converted vehicles in its Chicago fleet (F&F, October 3). Kiessling Transit, a Massachusetts-based paratransit company, recently doubled the size of its hydraulic hybrid green fleet to 70 vehicles.
NREL and the Parks
The U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colo. and Denali National Park in Alaska also operate vehicles with the Lightning ERS. In addition, the company recently expanded its offices in the United Kingdom to service customers in Europe.
Motiv Power Systems, which offers an all-electric powertrain for the Ford E-450 and F-59 chassis, last week announced 20 more of the latter for AmeriPride services, bringing the linen delivery company fleet to a sector record of 30 (F&F, March 7).
On Show in Indianapolis
XL Hybrids announced a plug-in version of its hybrid electric drive late last year, and said last month that initial availability of the new variant – which can cut fuel use in half – would be on the Ford F-150 pickup (F&F, February 28).
Lightning Hybrids is showing a Ford E-350 box truck equipped with its hydraulic hybrid ERS at the Work Truck Show. Ford is showing both Motiv- and XL Hybrids-converted vehicles.

Unanswered: Relational Bulk Insertation
I am writing an application which receives data at about 1000 rows per second on multiple threads... so (1000 * x) per second, currently I write this data to the sql server hard disk as a text file and use the bulk insert command from a stored procedure to bulk insert the data into a staging table..
I then perform some insert selects to rationalise the data into the underlying table (this is because the data is distinct by subject, Code, CreatedBy).. I then remove the data from the staging table by the providing code.. The app then continues to receive the next 1000 rows on that thread.
The stored procedure looks something like this:-
CREATE PROCEDURE usp_BulkInsert
@FilePath varchar(2000),
@Code varchar(255)
BULK INSERT INTO StageTable WITH (--blah blah
INSERT INTO PrimaryTable SELECT * FROM StageTable Where Part = 1
INSERT INTO SecTable SELECT pt.GUID, st.* FROM PrimaryTable pt INNER JOIN StageTable st ON pt.Subject = st.Subject AND pt.Code = st.Code AND pt.CreatedBy = st.CreatedBy
DELETE FROM StageTable WHERE Code = @Code
I have tried denormalising the database (just using the stage table but because the data is distinct on text it takes forever to retrieve data) But the insertation is amazingly fast...
The index's on the tables are designed with the minimum overhead based on the execution plan in query a.
The problem is that as the underlying tables grow in size the insert select statements take longer and longer to run and cpu usage get higher and higher.
I feel like im in a no win situation..

Robbie Cano
July 12, 2011 by staff
Robbie Cano, No event captures the current era of divided attention quite like the Home Run Derby. Amid the ups and downs of many of the best hitters in the game assets, had an announcer at the stadium, incessant loud beat music, ignore the antics of his fellow All-Star League and endorsed by Twitter in the field.
No wonder a few coaches Indians have called this joke "generation of head-down" – more than once in Cleveland, Manny Acta has used the nickname in your tweets – a reference to the constant phone to check that is so common today.
Fortunately, the pure sound baseball, pure timbre cannonball in turn, was a regular interruption thanks to the unceasing headache-inducing music and commentary, as well as the history of the father and son Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano to win the Derby, while his father, former Astros pitcher Jose Cano, pitch to him.
"Not that won the trophy, I mean my father has won the trophy," Cano said later, pointing to the silver award crossed bats. And later added: "We can divide the average trophy and a half?"
Cano faced the Red Sox, first baseman Adrian Gonzalez in what quickly became a contest between two men for supremacy in Derby. The two sluggers AL East jumped out early – in the first round when no one else had more than five years, Cano Gonzalez hit nine and hit eight. In the second round, when no one exceeded four, Cano and Gonzalez each hit 12.
In general, total Cano hit 32 homers, Gonzalez 31 and no other participant of the successful nine the two captains in the league, David Ortiz of Boston and Milwaukee, Prince Fielder. There was little in common in BP pitchers chosen by the two men Cano used his father, who has thrown him all his life and continues to do in the offseason, and Gonzalez took Acta, who had never thrown to him before.
"He asked me to throw it inside and low," said Jose Cano. "I said, that's the way you throw all year, so it will be easy for me."
Derby was an exceptionally durable, lasting 3 hours, 5 minutes even though the average baseball game that lasted 2:50 and ESPN officially about allocating two hours for the program. A three-way tie at the end of the first round has contributed, as the contestants went on a swing-off of time, rather than simply setting up a play as homer total. But so did the fact that there were three rounds of 10 outputs each. The event will not suffer from reduced competition in two rounds.
But the redeeming quality of the Derby were exceptional length of a different type (Cano homers averaged 433 feet) and its exceptional access (major league home run leader Jose Bautista, for example, immediately took to Twitter to explain their disappointing four performance of Homer, "You can not deny, I got the nerves a bit! Lets hope for a miracle so you can get! Was fun, though!").
Of course, the charity aspect of the event, by donating 603,000 to State Farm and Boys and Girls Clubs and similar organizations, was remarkable, too. As captain of AL and Red Sox DH David Ortiz homers Twitter for Cano 12 second round: "We're kicking some ass as a team so we can help some children is what matters."
Major League Baseball's most comprehensive website any of the major U.S. circuits favor, but until recently had been strict in its inclusion of other video sites. Not only the ease of restriction, but MLB also sanctioned and even encouraged in the field of Twitter during the Derby. They set up tables with computers, both near the American League and National League banks.
The Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp, like the Baptist before him, he tweeted his own admission a disappointing performance: "I'm still at # BEASTMODE, but I was super slow in the Homerun Derby man is the most difficult than it looks! "Cano tweeted a ShoutOut to his hometown," San Pedro de Macoris, I'm representing you "(San Pedro de Macoris am what is).
Other non-participating countries intervened, for example, when a pitcher Gio Gonzalez admitted: "My jaw is on the ground how far Cano is hitting the ball." He was not the only pitcher encouraging homers as Mariners ace Felix Hernandez showed his pride by stating: "We will win the Home Run Derby."
(Funny, pitcher Jeremy Guthrie Orioles, who was present, took the opportunity to live-tweet The Bachelorette, urging supporters to switch from Derby for the program of reality.)
However, updates in real time enables the rapid spread of a potentially uncomfortable. When fans booed Arizona Brewers Rickie Weeks second base to have been chosen to participate in their local favorite (chants of "Just-in-ton Up" were common), Upton Twitter diplomatically, "Why are we booing Ricky? Is about to burst! "
These views of 140 bits certainly prevailed over the microphone at home attended by Darin Sutton station Diamondbacks, who clumsily suggested Orioles image Ortiz Kevin Gregg on the mound – the two most recently fought in a game – and later appeared swinging criticism of Gonzalez noted that under the back of the shoulder … only for the ball clear the fence still right. Some curiosities to fill the gap between fields or between batters were useful, but the constant noise was not necessary.
But the trick worked because it was Twitter noise inevitable, the way of music and speech, was the comment. Twitter was reading an exercise in self-selection could be done in the waiting time between releases, with an invading eardrums the stadium was mandatory.
Even Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson was in action and answered questions from fans, and urged Cano, saying: "Robbie take the baseball bat and kill Capone kills."
So for the fan plugged in, was unprecedented behind the scenes access, and all the fans that were home runs on the monumental dry desert air, which should have been the main focus of your concentration. Cano hit two home runs traveling 472 feet is estimated that the first of which sounded the giant bottle of Miller Lite in the right-center.
"That was my favorite," said Cano. "I'll keep that in my mind for the next two or three weeks."
And so will the fans see the Derby – if at that moment, his head was not down.

ALBANY - After receiving a smaller loan than anticipated for the Tappan Zee Bridge construction in New York City, Thruway Authority Director Tom Madison said Wednesday that "toll adjustments" may be necessary for the entire state of New York, according to our Gannett Albany Bureau.
The Public Authorities Control Board approved a $255 million loan on Wednesday, borrowing money from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, which helps local communities with sewer systems, pollution control and other environmental issues. The original loan called for $511 million.
Donna Luh, the Vice Chair of the Thruway Board of Directors, said it's impossible to speculate on a toll increase until the board meets in early August.
Luh said that a toll increase is at least possible, but she added that there's been "no discussion" so far about how much tolls may increase.

Skip to comments.Advice Needed on Self-Employed/Small Business Health Care
Posted on 04/25/2005 6:02:13 PM PDT by Diana in Wisconsin
Does anyone have experience with Health Insurance for the self-employed and/or a small business? We are starting a LLC and will have three employees to start. DH & I need health insurance, and I'm not sure who to trust. My regular insurance agent's company does not cover healthcare for small businesses. I have looked at Humana, Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Golden Rule so far. Any experience or opinions on those companies?
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Freepers!
Good Luck.
There are supposed to be some new regulations allowing Self Employed people to pool so they can purchase at group rates. It hasn't happened yet to my knowledge, but should soon.
You may also contact any associations related to the type of business you are in as sometimes they allow members to purchase on their group plan.
Good luck with your new company!
I just tried to change my own SE family policy (Blue Cross/Blue Shield) to a lower-cost one -- after the policy just went up again. I talked to a agent who does most of his business over the internet whom I've dealt with before. He said it is very bleak right now, that many small businesses and self-employeds are going bare. In his own state, Maryland, the recent price schedule for a small business policy (6 employees) cost $22,000 a year for a family of two over-50's, a little less for a single.
Oh, Thank you all! I knew someone here would know what was up. Thanks for the links; that's tomorrow's project. Right now we have a Catastrophic Policy to cover us in a real emergency, but we need to be insured by the first of June.
We're starting a Computer Sales and Service company. My DH & his friend have 30 years of experience together in the field, as MCSE's and all sorts of other things, and have great contacts and connections...plus there's no other service like ours in the area, so the field is wide open for home users and small businesses in the area. The timing was right for all of us to do this.
We started the LLC as a Woman Owned enterprise, so we could take advantage of some of those grant perks (because women are so helpless, don't you know? /sarcasm) and my friend and I can joke that we rent out our husbands at $80/hour, LOL!
Thanks again! Any other links or pro & con experiences with specific companies will be greatly appreciated. :)
I work for a PEO/Payroll company which provides a variety of services to small to medium size businesses.
I would definitely call a few and find out if they take on companies with 3 employees to start. Using a PEO means that you are in essence pooling with other companies to get discounted health insurance, as well as, take advantage of the payroll, 401k and human resources angle in your business at the same time.
ADP Totalsource
The list goes on and on....
Call and find out! Can't hurt to check it out and as you get bigger, you can renegotiate your terms and get better rates.
Do a search for women owned buiness groups in your area..they may be able to help as well.
This is not related to insurance, but it is related to Small Business. There is an internet service called PayCycle that can do all your payroll including Federal and State Filing. It is very much like PayChex, but it is internet only and very economical. I found them through Microsoft Money.
In case you are interested, check out:
Thanks, Cagey, but I'm a Peachtree user. I used to do payroll & A/P & A/R using their software years ago and surprisingly, it's all coming back to me now, LOL!
Thanks again, everyone. This is my project for the day. I know it's not going to be easy, but at this point, until we have better cashflow, I'm going to have my DH pull in the salary, and my "pay" will be the health insurance coverage for us.
Yep. Sure shows you up close and personal as to how bleak things are out there. People like me are a perfect niche for this stuff...they must not yet have found a way to make insuring us profitable. *Rolleyes*

Review by CarltonC
A warm and humorous story of three girls growing up in Yorkshire at the end of the Second World War and preparing, in their final summer holidays after school, to enter university.For such a short book, this very successfully covered a lot of experience, especially for Hetty, who goes away to stay in the Lake District, and Una, who goes cycling and youth hostelling. The story of Lieselotte (a refugee from the kindertransport) is successful when it moves to London, describing the aftermath of the Blitz, but less convincing in portraying the move to America.You really want to know what happens next, as the story is open-ended, but there is sufficient resolution for you to be satisfied.
Review by hemlokgang
Audiobook.............a lovely British, post WWII coming of age story of three young women. Completely simple, yet full of life wisdom. I really enjoyed this story.
