Klaus Regling – Interview with Jornal de Negocios
Interview with Klaus Regling, Managing Director of the ESM
Published in Jornal de Negocios (Portugal) on 8 May 2014
Three months ago you said that if Portugal requested some precautionary assistance, it should go for the tougher line available, given it weaknesses. Now Portugal makes a clean exit. How do you explain this?
Klaus Regling: The situation improved faster than most people expected. It is the result of the strong implementation of the programme, but also of a better than expected market situation: more capital inflow into Europe than we had expected three months ago, partly related to emerging markets not doing so well. Experience shows that once markets start moving, they move a lot.
If Portugal asked for a precautionary line, would it access the lighter solution you have available?
Klaus Regling: It is hard to say. That would have to be discussed in the Eurogroup but it is not an issue now.
Portugal issued 10 year bond at 3.5%, the best interest since 2005. Is Portugal as risky today than in 2005?
Klaus Regling: Portugal, like many other countries, is less vulnerable than nine years ago, because of all the reforms adopted. Also, we are better prepared in Europe than before the crisis: we have a much tighter system of policy coordination and we have the EFSF and ESM as permanent institutions than can provide emergency finance if needed; and thirdly we are moving towards the banking union. All these elements have improved the risk assessment of the euro area as a whole and of every country inside the euro area.
The situation in Portugal has improved considerably, but public debt is way higher, the external debt is more or less the same and very high in European terms. How confident are you that all this debt can be dealt with?
Klaus Regling: The risks are there, not only in Europe. All industrialised countries after the crisis have substantially higher debt levels than before the crisis. That is why every country has to work hard to return to a more normal situation, to reduce debt levels.
The private sector indebtedness in Portugal is quite high, and external debt is over 200% of GDP. Not all countries have these figures…
Klaus Regling: Not all, but many countries in Europe and outside Europe have it. But Portugal also has it and one has to deal with that. The current account moved into surplus in 2013. A big success that is not often reported is the export to GDP ratio, which was traditionally very low in Portugal – about one third – has increased 10 percentage points during this adjustment period, from 35% to 45%. That is a big success and the result of competitiveness gains and reforms.
Exports' weight on GDP has grown, but GDP has come down considerably. On the other hand, imports' weight has been stable, which indicates that once the economy picks up, it might rise again. How do you see this risk?
Klaus Regling: Exports are a success, but not all improvement in the current account is coming from that. One part is cyclical, and it comes from the compression of imports, which is normal when GDP declines and some of that will recover. But it is important that through structural reforms competitiveness is further improved and that the current account situation does not become excessive again. That should be a central element in the strategy of the government.
Making sure current account deficits don't come back?
Klaus Regling: At least not a big current account deficit. If it is a small one, and determined by investment, that is OK. The composition is important: if it all goes into consumption, it's bad; if it goes mainly into investment, so that debt can be serviced, it's a completely different story.
A precautionary line, how much would it cost?
Klaus Regling: Until the money is actually needed and drawn, a precautionary line costs almost nothing. The expectation is that it would not be needed, and in that case there is no interest charged.
Portugal has built a cushion of around €15 billion, which might cost around €450 million a year on interest. What economic sense does this make, if this insurance could be granted, with no cost, by ESM?
Klaus Regling: Every country has some cushion. Ireland has it, Spain also, Germany has a big cushion too. That is a normal process and at this moment it is advisable to have a cushion that is large and maybe larger than before the crisis.
But you would concede that if Portugal had chosen a precautionary line, it would not need such a big cushion? Or is not related?
Klaus Regling: Marginally there is a link but I don't think it's a very big one. Interest rates are now historically low and therefore the cost is not that high.
From the European perspective, wouldn't it better not to have a country that is still fragile, spending this amount of money on a cushion?
Klaus Regling: I would not call Portugal fragile, just for the record. Reforms must continue but Portugal has moved beyond that. If markets become less positive on Europe – I'm not talking about
Portugal – the ESM is there as a permanent financial backstop.
Would it be better for Europe to have Portugal exiting the programme with a precautionary line, as a way to minimize risks?
Klaus Regling: Risks are much smaller now and markets are very positive.
But a precautionary line is an insurance against the future. And there we can see a lot of risks: emerging markets making capital moving, stress tests by the end of the year, for instance. Wouldn't it be better just to minimize risk?
Klaus Regling: If reforms continue risks are very low. The Portuguese finance minister has expressed the same view: the adjustment is not over, reforms must continue and deficits must get smaller. The momentum in the markets now is extremely positive. We know this can change. But it will not change in the next few months.
If sometime in the next year or two Portugal faces funding difficulties and requests assistance from the ESM, do you thing a precautionary line is available? Or it would more likely fall in a full programme again?
Klaus Regling: All ESM instruments are available to all its members. Different options were designed to the specific circumstances which affect or may affect an ESM member's capacity to access markets. The eligibility criteria are very clear in the ESM Treaty. On that basis, one would have to assess how serious the problems are leading to the request, and act accordingly. This includes the possibility of a full-blown programme but this is very theoretical now.
Portugal has succeeded in correcting important imbalances; it has started to regain market access and has now made a clear decision to stand on its own feet. I do not see now the need for any type of programme.
So, Portugal will be out of the programme in the next few weeks and we will be subject to an Early Warning System from the ESM until all the money is paid, which will happen in 2040. We have a long relationship ahead. What information…
Klaus Regling: I'm looking forward to that. We had a very good relationship with the Portuguese authorities and government.
What information will you need?
Klaus Regling: We have a clear mandate in our Treaty to make sure we get repaid. Twice a year we'll join the Commission on a mission to every country that has borrowed from us. We will check the liquidity situation and the economic outlook to make sure the loans are repaid. That is the interest of all shareholders, including Portugal. This will not mean further conditionality.
But what information will you need regularly?
Klaus Regling: On a continuous basis we will know exactly what is due from each of the countries that borrowed from us. We need reimbursements to be made on time, because we have to repay our bondholders. That means a close look at the budget for the next six or twelve months and also a long-term look at the economic situation and developments, which is needed for the sustainability analysis. It will not be an extra reporting burden.
Will you be looking at policies?
Klaus Regling: In a way, looking at the budget and economic outlook always means to look at policies, but it does not mean that we will, in any sense, negotiate policies. We only have to monitor and make sure no problems will show up.
You've worked at the IMF for many years, from your experience what usually happens in countries after leaving programmes: do they usually relax the reforming effort? Do you see that as a risk for Portugal?
Klaus Regling: The finance minister has shown great determination to continue with reforms, on the fiscal side and on the structural adjustment. When I look at IMF experience around the world, at the end of the programmes the determination to continue with reforms sometimes weakens. This is maybe human, but I'm confident that in the euro area we have built a better system, with continued and close interaction between the European Commission, the ECB, the ESFM/ESM and the countries concerned.
The next Portuguese budget is decisive for the perception of that determination in Portugal?
Klaus Regling: It is certainly one important step. Not only for Portugal: budgets are always important. Several countries in the euro area still have deficits above 3% and they all have committed to get it below 3% and then move toward a structural balance. Any deviation from this adjustment path will be seen negatively.
Were Portugal to need any financial support of some type, would you see it as a normal? It would break the positive cycle you are trying to build?
Klaus Regling: We try to create a situation where that is not needed. Euro area countries decided to have the ESM as a permanent institution and so we want to have this possibility at all times. But what is more important is that every year we keep a continuous debate on improving economic policies in all countries. In the euro area it is particularly important that countries have the right set of policies.
What are the risks for Portugal?
Klaus Regling: Portugal is coming out of a recession and we see better estimates, but growth is still not very strong. The objective must be to raise the potential growth rate. It should be higher than 1.5%, and higher than in the past. This will not happen automatically it will only happen with the right policies.
If that does not happen, will the debt be sustainable?
Klaus Regling: All the international institutions and the troika come to the conclusion that debt is sustainable in Portugal. It will be a lot easier when growth gets higher. And that should be the real incentive: to accept more reforms and adjustment to reach a higher growth path, which would allow for the deleveraging in the private sector and guarantee sustainability of the debt.
We have negative inflation in Portugal and have very low inflation in Europe. That does not worry you, namely due to debt sustainability?
Klaus Regling: We have to differentiate. Portugal is coming out of this very strong adjustment phase, just like Greece, Spain and Ireland. We want these countries to regain competitiveness, and therefore it was necessary to have low or negative inflation for a while. So, it is very good that prices are falling as a result of the painful adjustment otherwise it would have been in vain. But it is a temporary phenomenon, because wage and pension cuts will not be repeated. For the euro area as a whole, we are in a period of low inflation, not deflation. According to all forecasts, this is the year with the lowest inflation and then it goes up again.
In sustainability analyses a nominal growth of 4% is usually assumed: 2% inflation, 2% real growth. These are not in the projections for Portugal in the next decade. Does this worry you?
Klaus Regling: We have still six years to go before 2020. In my baseline scenario, Portugal should have nominal growth of 4% in the second half of the decade. One more point on debt sustainability: for Portugal and other countries that borrow from EFSF and ESM the debt burden associated is lower than normal because our financing costs are very low.
In Portugal there have been discussions about debt reduction, or lowering interest rates by European institutions. Politically would that be feasible and is it possible to lower your interest on the Portuguese debt?
Klaus Regling: Haircuts on claims from European institutions are not politically feasible; the Eurogroup has made that very clear: it will not happen. Regarding interests, we charge our funding costs, that is around 1½% on our loans to Portugal, Greece and Ireland. That cannot be lowered because we have to pay our bondholders. If our lending charges were lower, someone would have to pay the difference and I don't see an appetite for that.
Deferring interest payments like it happened in Greece. Would that be feasible?
Klaus Regling: That is an additional loan for the 10 years that the interests are deferred. The outstanding amount goes up so it has to be repaid later on. That instrument is available and it was decided to be used for Greece because the situation was the most serious and much more serious than in Portugal. It was never discussed for Portugal.
The major opposition party in Portugal has said the debt service in Portugal is too high. They have talked about either lowering the interest rates or deferring the interest rates. Does this make sense to you at this point?
Klaus Regling: This wasn't discussed in the euro area because the interest cost to Portugal is very low. It is probably historically low compared to the 1990s. Even with a lower debt level, the burden on the budget was probably higher than today.
The programme still has the €6.4 billion for banks. The money will stay as a backstop until the stress tests. And after that?
Klaus Regling: The ECB is doing its asset quality review and then the stress tests. We will know the results probably in October. Only then will we know if banks need additional capital. If the money is not needed for banks then, it can be used for something else.
Portugal has low funding needs this year and the next but from 2016 onwards it will need to fund itself with 16 to 17 billion euros a year. This is much more than Portugal was used to before the crisis. Is this a risk?
Klaus Regling: The debt level is high and therefore there can be refinancing humps, but at the same time the deficit is expected to come down further and Portugal should move to a primary surplus. When we extended the maturities close to 22 years we looked very carefully at the repayment profile and tried to smoothen this. In the end it will all depend on the market situation, which is always a combination of the general market view on Europe, plus the specific situation on the country and that will depend on the reform progress.
Don't you consider that amount of money per year a risk?
Klaus Regling: I can't say there is a zero risk there but it is certainly manageable with the right policies.
One risk for Portugal is the fact that Portuguese debt is eligible as ECB's collateral due to the rating of one single agency. Some people argue that rating agencies were too slow in improving ratings. Is this a risk? Do you agree?
Klaus Regling: I'm not saying the Portuguese economy does not face risks, but this is another small risk because we are in a situation where indeed rating agencies are in the process of moving many countries up. Portugal will be among those economies that will be upgraded because there has been a lot of progress. My expectation is that over the next twelve months this eligibility will not depend only on one single rating agency.
The link between sovereign and bank risk is broken in Europe as promised by European leaders?
Klaus Regling: Banking union has many objectives and that is one of them. We are making progress: the link is not broken yet but this will happen gradually. Over time we will have a fully funded Single Resolution Mechanism to support the Single Supervisory Mechanism – the full implementation will take 8 years. Also we may have an additional instrument at ESM for direct bank recapitalization.
Would you expect to go faster, namely the direct recapitalization tool for the ESM, which is not developing?
Klaus Regling: It is developing: we at the ESM are preparing ourselves, because the Eurogroup has already requested it sometime ago. The Eurogroup chairman expects by June to have agreement on this new ESM instrument. I don't know if it will be used in the next 12 months but it is important to have it ready in case of need.
The direct recap from ESM is used only in very specific situations. It was the big instrument to break the link between sovereigns and banks, but as it is, it remains…
Klaus Regling: It is the last line of defence. But there are other elements that would break that link, because the SRM and SRF will be built up over time, and will also help.
Where do you see the ESM in 5 to 10 years' time?
Klaus Regling: We will be very busy even if there is no new lending or programmes. We have a balance sheet of €230 billion of disbursed loans to 5 countries with maturities from 15 to 30 years that need to be managed, because on our liability side we have a maturity of only six years, so we need to roll over. We will be in the market every year for around €30 billion, which is a big amount. Also, we invest €80 billion of paid-in capital from our shareholders. We are still building up some internal processes. So we have enough work to do. And we will always have to be prepared for the next crisis which will come one day.
ESM is not a "European institution", but an intergovernmental one. Would you expect that to change?
Klaus Regling: There is a debate about changing the EU treaty, and the European Parliament has taken a very strong view that the ESM should develop further. I'm not sure what will happen, but we will have a debate on how the euro area, inside the EU, will have more integration. The ESM is the only euro area institution, so it will be part of that debate.
There was the idea the EFSF/ESM would have loans to programme countries, probably also precautionary lines, and direct bank recapitalisation too. But much of this is not happening. If everything is OK you will be basically managing debt repayments. How do you motivate your team?
Klaus Regling: This is exactly what we wanted to reach: to calm the markets and to make sure that our support will no longer be necessary. We know we will be needed again one day. One should never assume there will never be a crisis again.

Hello, hello!
It's that time of the month again. We're sharing what we've been up to with Experience God. This month, we're learning about how God is love and our memory verse is from John 3:16.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
It's always seems like the messiest activity from Experience God is the one that the little guy enjoys the most. Why am I not surprised? Last month, it was the Dust Creations Activity with sand and water. And of course this month, he's all about the cornstarch noodles.
Thanks for visiting! If you're interested in following along with what we're up to each week, definitely sign up via email and/or follow The Keeper of the Memories on Facebook, and Pinterest. This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my full disclosure policy here.
One of the awesome things that we get in each of our preschool curriculum kits from Mother Goose Time is Experience God, which is their Christian program. And you know what? The little guy and I definitely look forward to it every month.
If you're interested in making colorful crosses using cornstarch noodles with your little kids, then definitely keep reading.
God's Gift to Us
Visual Arts (32.1)
What you'll need
- Gift box
- Cornstarch Noodles
- Damp Cloth
- Tape
Ask: What gifts does God give us?
Here's how to do it
- God's greatest gift to us is his son Jesus. Jesus gave us his life and died on the cross so that we could live with God in eternity.
- Assemble a gift box for each child and fill it with the cornstarch noodles. Give each child a gift.
- Invite children to press the end of the noodle on the damp cloth and stick it to another one to build a cross.
- Read the bible verse from Romans 5:8.
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Explain: God is love and he gave his one and only son to us that we could be with him forever.
The little guy had a blast making his colorful cross from cornstarch noodles. I'm sure this is one of those activities that we'll come back to sometime soon. It was quick + easy and that makes this homeschool mama all kids of happy.
So many fun activities. So little time. I'm sure y'all can relate. I totally wish that we could do them all, but we can't. What we do is pick and choose the activities that work for us. And in reality, that's the best thing about this curriculum. It's so easy to do exactly that.

All Sermons
"Reframing the Discussion" - 20m:18sSeries: How Do You Grieve (Well)?
Scripture Reading: Mark 5:35-43
How Do You Discuss Death?
How do you discuss death? Is it an awkward topic that you mostly try to avoid? When you do talk about it, what's the typical tone used? Is it positive or negative?
In my experience, most people avoid discussing death, and when they do have to discuss it, it's usually passed off in negative terms. We don't like death. Death takes away from us people, experiences, and opportunities that we want to have back. We usually see what we or the deceased are missing in the wake of their passing.
What if we could change the tone of the conversation? What if as believers we didn't have to talk about death using the same terms the world does? In our passage this morning, we will look at a passage in Mark 5 in which Jesus clearly does this. Join us as we discuss death and reframe the discussion.

My art practice is about entering into a quiet conversation between myself, Dundee and it's people. My work attempts to overcome the limitations of more traditional scientific methods of measuring a place, such as birth and mortality rates and the price of property. These narrow constructs of what defines a city are inadequate in distinguishing one place from another. Instead, my work is based on an alternative idea; that an imaginative process is needed to reveal a much greater understanding of the identity of a place and people.
2 out of 3 of the photographs I have submitted were shot in one of the only textile businesses still operating in Dundee. The last photograph in series shows a print of the second image on the wall of an old jute textile factory in the city. Overall the series of photographs represents my careful documentation of present day Dundee and then my response to the city through integrating my artwork onto its walls.

Case Study
Lombard, Point-of-Sale
The system was built using leading edge technology and received "Best use of Technology in Marketing" award.
Lombard's beginnings can be traced back to 1861 when, as the North Central Wagon Company, they hired out rolling stock to railway companies. Lombard has grown to be the UK's leading asset finance provider.
The commercial reality is that dealers will use a variety of sources for their motor finance deals. However in recent years, dealers have been deluged with hardware and software from finance companies and banks which is often incompatible and require different information parameters and requirements.
Key requirements for the project were:
- Needed a software system to link all of their legacy systems together
- The process required to deal with faxed and telephoned applications tends to be cumbersome, and follow up phone calls are often required to ensure that enough information is received in order to make a lending decision. Therefore the system needed to be able to capture all data required for an application in an orderly fashion.
- Needed to be user friendly
- Needed to speed up application processing
- Implemented CALMS Point-of-Sale (POS) system

Kolkata: With Durga Puja just a month away, the city is all geared to make the optimum use of weekend to make purchase, Metro Railway has decided to run 570 additional services on Saturdays and Sundays till October 18. Metro is also preparing a Puja schedule to suit pandal hoppers.
"This special measure was taken after analyzing the passenger rush trends. We anticipate heavy rush during the weekends in the run up to the Pujas. There will be 50 more services on Saturdays, bringing it at par with weekdays. Starting September 19, the number of services on Saturdays will go up to 274 from the existing 224. On Sundays, there will be 174 services instead of the normal 110. The services will be run at intervals of 7, 8, 10 and 15 minutes. We believe that this will be helpful to commuters," said Indrani Banerjee, CPRO, Metro Railway.
Though the number of commuters normally dips during weekends, there is a trend among people to use the Metro on holidays before festivals. Unless the number of services is increased, even daily users find it difficult to travel due to the heavy rush. The situation worsens in the evenings when shoppers return, with their bargains taking up additional space. More services are also required as many users from the suburbs prefer to use the Metro during their shopping sprees. Unused to the ways of Metro travel, they face trouble if there is too much rush.

Busty Oriental tart Asia loves big white cocks, even though she's only got a tiny little pussy and she always gets sore! She starts off this clip showing off her body for the camera with a sexy solo strip before she's joined by her stud for the day, hung pornstar Falco Zito. He gives her a rough throatfucking, which she loves, before she bends her over on all fours on the couch and starts to lick both her holes from behind. He slides his cock into her slick, tight vagina and starts to pound her. She climbs on top, reverse cowgirl style, and bucks up and down on his big dick like it's an amusement ride before he unloads on her face.Watch New Exclusive Videos At LethalHardcore.com!

PETALING JAYA: BFM89.9 has terminated the services of two employees following allegations of sexual harassment.
Its founder Malek Ali said this was part of the findings from an independent committee formed to investigate allegations of sexual harassment at the radio station.
The committee, which included independent lawyers, submitted its findings to a panel comprising current and former non-executive independent directors of the station late last week.
"In respect of the allegations of sexual harassment, both employees have been served termination letters of misconduct.
"The board determined that there is sufficient evidence to warrant this course of action," he said in a statement yesterday.
Malek said the management team acknowledged that more could have been done to proactively gather evidence so that such misconduct could have been addressed in a more timely manner.
"Based on the recommendations of the board, the management team is committed to improving its structure for employees to report any grievances they may have.
"Complaints will be handled impartially, and it is our intention to have this structure in place within four weeks," he said, adding that a review of BFM's existing internal policies and guidelines was also underway.
On Dec 4, 2018, The Star reported that BFM had begun formal investigations into allegations of sexual harassment at the radio station.
The allegations first surfaced through a circulated email of alleged sexual harassment at the radio station involving its employees.
The email, written by a former employee, alleged that the management had not looked into these harassment claims seriously.

Quite a long time ago, I received a query from Mike Gammon about his ancestors in Hampshire, England. I have printed off a whole heap of census pages related to this family, and have begun compiling a tree (also with the help of the tree that Mike sent me).
It may take some time to finish all of the data entry, and then publish the family group page. In the mean time, you can see how far I have got with the family tree here:

The Smart Terrain™ feature of the Vuforia SDK is a breakthrough vision capability that enables a new level of immersion in augmented reality gaming experiences. Smart Terrain enables you to reconstruct and augment your physical environment, to create new kinds of gaming and visualization applications. App development is through a simple authoring workflow and event-driven programming model that is consistent with and similar to what Vuforia offers today.
The stable configuration of objects and surfaces in the real world that is augmented by the scene.
The process of lighting a stage and arranging props and Targets in preparation for the scanning process.
The process of capturing a stage from multiple vantage points through a continuous sequence of camera positions.
Both the authoring resources and digital artifacts of the Smart Terrain scene generated by Vuforia, including the Primary Surface, Auxiliary Surfaces, borders, targets, props and the meshes accompanying these objects.
The virtual scene, in Unity, that contains the Terrain authoring elements and developer content. The scene augments a real world 'stage' using Smart Terrain.
The extent of the scene applied to the stage established by the synthesized edges and sensor horizons of the physical setting.
Primary Surface
The initial stage surface, scanned by the user, that serves as the reference geometry for constructing the Smart Terrain scene. Additional props and Surfaces in the scene are positioned in relation to the Primary Surface.
Unknown real-world objects that can be reconstructed and tracked by the Smart Terrain Tracker.
Predefined Vuforia Trackables such as Image Targets, Multi-Targets, Cylinder Targets and 3DROs
Objects or Props, as they are referred to in Smart Terrain, may be as small as a soup can to as large as large cereal box. They should have a static rigid geometry and their surfaces should provide patterns and details that can be used by the Smart Terrain Tracker to recognize and follow the object. Smart Terrain looks for the same types of natural features that are used by the other Vuforia trackable types (such as Image Targets). See: Natural Features and Image Ratings.
Although there is no hard limit on the number of props that can be tracked, Smart Terrain works best with up to 5 objects.
Transparent objects, such as glass, are not supported.
Tip: The best props are box or cylinder shaped with printed patterns, such as items you would usually find at home in your pantry. Good props are no smaller than a can of vegetables, and no larger than a big cereal box. The stage itself can be as large as dining table.
Smart Terrain is best suited for near-range tabletop experiences in static settings that are well-lit with stable lighting conditions. Reflective and transparent surfaces are not good candidates for use with Smart Terrain because the appearance of such surfaces changes based on the position of the user.
Once the setting is staged, its elements should remain static. Changing the stage (table) geometry or arrangement of props (objects) on the stage will corrupt tracking.
In general, Smart Terrain has been designed to work with a wide variety of commonly occurring table surfaces found at home and in the office. Ideal stage surfaces are either plain or present a uniform density of feature, and should be visually distinct from near adjoining surfaces.
Smart Terrain is supported only on devices with multicore processors. Developers should implement app logic to gracefully handle cases where a user attempts to run Smart Terrain on unsupported devices, by verifying the processing context and not initializing Smart Terrain if a multicore processor is not available.
You can check the processor count for a device at runtime using Unity's SystemInfo.processorCount Property, which returns the number of available processors.
See: https://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/SystemInfo-processorCount.html
In addition, the minimum requirements for developing and running Unity apps on iOS and Android also apply to Smart Terrain:
Smart Terrain reconstructs, recognizes, and tracks physical objects and surfaces. These are represented as 3D meshes in the Unity scene. The collection of surface and object meshes is referred to as the scene's Terrain.
There are three phases to a Smart Terrain experience:
The Scanning phase starts from a pre-defined targetwhich is used to initialize terrain generation. You can use an Image Target, Multi Target or Cylinder Target from either a Device or Cloud Database as the initialization target. Once the Terrain has been initialized, the Smart Terrain Tracker will begin reconstructing the stage surface, along with any viable props that are found on the stage, and adding them to the terrain.
Props are reconstructed as independent cube/cuboid meshes in the scene, and each Prop object possesses a collider and mesh renderer component. The primary surface of the terrain is an independent mesh as well with a collider and renderer.
Developers can address the prop and surface meshes independently to apply rendering techniques, and to evaluate their properties for app logic. For example, the size and/or position of a physical prop can be used to selectively assign prop instances in the scene.
There are three phases to a Smart Terrain experience:

"Hi There,
In this Newsletter we have a great selection of eagerly-anticipated Ork, Space Wolves and Tau releases, first showcased at the Forge World Open Day. We also have some news about the upcoming Games Day France, for which we are making our final preparations.
Ead Brown
Ork Kustom Stompa
There are some Mek Bosses who are well-supplied enough to be able to kustom-build a Stompa as a bespoke project for a particularly wealthy Warboss, extra spikes, additional weapons and ornate bosspoles are common additions. The weapon arms usually seen on these war machines are replaced with energy weapons capable of tossing huge tanks across the battlefield with devastating results, or giant rippa klaws to rend enemy war machines apart at close quarters - all the better to claim the choicest scrap for future projekts.
The Meks also delight in diverting the power of the Stompas roaring engines into enormous and unpredictable force beam generators, built into the head of this gigantic idol to Gork (or possibly Mork). Such devastating power can tear even the mighty Titans of the Adeptus Mechanicus asunder in a storm of energy, and regardless of design are commonly known as the Gaze of Mork (or possibly Gork). Some firepower-obsessed Meks even replace the internal transport capacity of a Stompa with a huge-bore Kannon, usually called a Belly Gun in typical Orky fashion. The unstable gait of the war machine makes such a weapon even more inaccurate, but this is seen as a suitable trade for the overwhelming noise of the gun and the size of the explosions made by its gargantuan shells.
These monstrous resin upgrade kits for the plastic Stompa, designed by Stuart Williamson, allow you to add a wide variety of weapon options to the plastic Stompa kit. The resin conversion kits are available to order here for dispatch during the week commencing April 26th, and can also be purchased as a complete resin and plastic kit:
The Complete Ork Stompa contains the Head, Klaw and Lifta-Droppa arms, and a plastic Stompa kit. The forthcoming Imperial Armour 8: Raid on Kastorel-Novem will feature technical information, background and full rules for a Kustom Stompa.
Tau XV-9-01 with Fusion Cascades
The first of our XV-9 variants, this advanced Battlesuit, designed by Daren Parrwood, mounts cutting-edge fusion gun variants that can be used with the high-tech systems of the XV-9, and the Fusion Cascade engulfs its target in powerful melta energy. It fires in bursts, meaning that despite each charge being less powerful than an Imperial equivalent, it can overwhelm its target through weight of fire.
Tau XV-9-04 with Phased Ion Guns
The XV-9-04 wields Phased Ion Guns - these experimental weapons seek to develop the rapid-firing technology of the Cyclic Ion blaster and vehicle mounted Ion Cannon into a stable battlesuit system. The long accelerators of the Phased Ion Gun allow the pilot to engage the enemy at range with a storm of projectiles that react explosively on an atomic level, decimating heavily armoured infantry and vehicles.
Tau Shas'o R'alai and Drones
The Shas'vre assigned to pilot the XV-9 Battlesuit armour are combat veterans, each a survivor of the deadliest battles against the Greater Good's most savage foes. The Fire Caste of Ke'lshan has mastered the use of the XV-9, and within this cadre of solemn and determined warriors Shas'o R'alai is a paragon amongst veterans; his skills have been rewarded with the most advanced weapons and equipment produced by the Earth Caste.
Full rules and background for the XV-9, XV-9-01 and XV-9-04 can be found in Imperial Armour Apocalypse II. Full rules and background for Shas'o R'alai will be available to download from the Forge World website in the coming months.
All three of these resin kits, designed by Daren Parrwood, are available to order here for dispatch during the week commencing April 26th.
Space Wolves Transfer Sheet
This A4 colour transfer sheet contains a huge range of decals that can be used to add variety to your Space Wolves infantry and vehicles - roughly 400 individual transfers are supplied on the sheet. Each of the twelve Great Companies of the Chapter are represented, many for the first time, and the sheet also allows you to identify all types of Space Marine vehicles as belonging to Grey Hunter, Blood Claw or Long Fang packs. You can order this fantastic transfer sheet here, and you can also see examples of how you can use these decals on your Space Wolves infantry and vehicles.
Games Day France 2010
Sunday April 18th sees Forge World attending Games Day France at the Parc Floral de Paris. Our Sales stand will be stocked with a wide selection of the entire Forge World range, including the new release kits mentioned in this Newsletter.
Will Hayes and Simon Egan from our Studio design team will be in attendance to answer your questions about sculpting and modelling, as well as offering a sneak peek of forthcoming Forge World releases.
You will be able to look through final proof copies of Imperial Armour 8: Raid on Kastorel-Novem as well, and as an exclusive offer to Games Day customers, we will be taking pre-orders for this fantastic new book in advance of general release.
As always, we will award the Forge World Best in Show trophy as part of the Golden Daemon awards ceremony - the Forge World model we judge to be the finest entry into the competition will receive this accolade.
Forge World Events News - Salute 2010 and Forthcoming Shows
Forge World will be attending Salute on April 24th at the Excel Centre in London - more details for this show can be found here.
We are now taking reservations for Salute - just send an e-mail to email@example.com including your name and a list of everything you'd like to reserve, and title your e-mail "Salute Reservation". We must receive Salute reservations by April 19th.

Well, the pollen count is up….and it's grey but not rainy. Sniff, snuffle, ahhhchoooo.
And I'm not that much affected by what's in the air….
The good news about the time change has been I'm awake more often before sunrise again. There have been some spectacular ones with the cloud cover lately. That always starts my day out better.
I've been honing my skill at Inkscape and graphic diagrams of tatting patterns the last couple of days. I need a lot more practice….a lot more! I wanted to work up a bookmark design for the class that had rings, chains, maybe beads (but not necessary) and tat samples for the Open House wall in summer colors. So, here's what I have:

We'll see what is chosen and what folks sign up for.

A probing close is yet another phrase I made up. I do that… a lot.
Basically, it's a question you ask when you feel your prospect might possibly be ready to agree to say "Yes!" to your proposal.
Here they are:
1. If I could make sure to take care of [whatever objection they had or obstacle they mentioned], would you be ready to go ahead with this?
2. What's your timeline for getting this going?
3. What would you like to see happen next?
And my all time favorite:
4. Now, is there anything left that's holding you back from moving forward right now?

Thanks for coming to my blog today! We are being highlighted internationally by Kylie Bertucci and you are able to VOTE for my project. The Top Ten Winners will get to be a part of an International Blog Hop so please vote for my project!
In case you've missed both of my subtle hints – you can vote for my project here:
Our theme for this highlight is our Favorite Sale-a-bration Or Occasions Catalogue Products. This is a great theme with so many different options to showcase!
My choice for the Hop is the Beautiful Peacock stamp set. Though I'm not using the Peacock itself, the 'tail' and 'leaves' make ideal background stamps, as well as all of the little floral stamps in the set, too.
First I did the layout in Publisher, before printing them out – using Tempting Turquoise as the colour for the names and headings for each piece in the set.
Then I stamped out the 'tail' stamp in different areas on each piece, before topping the ends of each strand with a Tempting Turquoise floral decal.
I love the way these invitations turned out and hope you love the look of them, too.
Thanks for visiting my blog today, make sure you head over to Kylie's blog http://bit.ly/KyliesHighlightsJanuary2018VoteformeHere to vote for my project. I would love to be chosen for the International Blog Hop!

Rites of Passage and Parent's Evening
Rites of Passage, those life events so beloved of writers, singers, painters and so often packed with platitudes. With new twins passing landmarks on a daily basis it has at times been difficult for Didsbury Son to get his Rites to the front of the queue. Over the last week we have had a glut of them to redress the balance.
Last week he made his team sports debut. It was a magnificent clear winter's day, he donned a luminous kit several sizes too big for him and was part of a team he had met once before in the dark the previous Monday. His chosen sport (for the moment) is Lacrosse. My attempts to share my love of football have failed consistently over the years.
My two memories of Didsbury Son's football career consist of turning my back for five minutes one Saturday morning in Fog Lane Park to find him swaddled by adult tracksuits shivering unhappily and… a magnificent tactical performance where he spent a whole hour moving gracefully away from the ball. It was not for him.
His first memory of football is seeing me – eyes staring with two fingers pressed up against the television as the cameras panned to a close-up of the opposition fans. 5 year old Didsbury Son's only comment, "Daddy, why are you swearing at the TV?"
His indifference is my fault. What I saw as paternal love and exuberance was really the attempts of a dad to squeeze him into static laden shirts, learn pointless songs with refrains that make less sense than a Year 2 song (My favourite was "Tommy Tomato or Have You Ever Had a Penguin Round for Tea – classics) and of hours listening to 5Live drone on interspersed with my yelps. I have learned and am ready for the next two.
So Didsbury Son made his debut in "the fastest game on 2 legs" (sic) and looked magnificent. Didsbury Wife and I stood at the side of the pitch shivering quietly, a baby each for warmth and enjoyed our first ever experience of Didsbury Son in competition. I didn't shout a single inappropriate comment. I didn't even try and start a Mexican Wave.
These were rites stacking up by the hour. Lacrosse is not an easy sport for parents to watch initially. He wears huge padding and a helmet. I had no idea which child I was shouting for and the ball is too small and moves too fast for eyes that have long since seen their 39th birthday. Twin Girl loved it. She bobbed around happily using her new found smile to anyone in the vicinity. Whilst Didsbury Son thought this was sibling adoration for him – in time it will be. We are back for training this week and this could be a goer.
We also had another rite – the first senior school parent's evening. In Junior School they are a real disappointment. For anyone who went to school pre New Labour a parents' evening was a fearful time when the best one could expect was parental indifference after a night of having all your sins laid out before them. The latent aggression of the teachers was part of the experience. The notion of schools being inclusive environments and of children mattering was as ridiculous as the notion of keeping your record collection in your phone. A bit like going to football these days – they now lack the edge of danger and fear to make them interesting.
This had the makings of an interesting evening. We had the twins with us in an unmanoeuvrable double pram amidst harassed parents and tired teachers. There had been an incident earlier that day. By the time we started I was almost looking forward to a night defending his honour before going home to be disappointed, brilliant.
What did we get?
Caring teachers who actually knew who he was and had considered him constructively. We then had enthusiastic and non-patronising comments about the twins (who barely cried and caused no fuss) and even the catering was worth a second or third circle around the room. Amid the general positivity I felt slightly cheated. They were reasonable, Didsbury Son has been doing his best and Didsbury Wife and I agreed on things and nodded at each other like a team working well together; another rite of passage.

Immunization is the best way to strengthen our immune system against harmful and infectious diseases which can otherwise prove to be life-threatening. That's why immunization is highly recommended by professional medical organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Practice Physicians.
Immunization not only reduces risk of one person but also improves health status of the ones around him. So, everyone in the family should be immunized to prevent outbreak of diseases.
Here are some reasons that will highlight the importance of immunization for your well-being.
- Today we are in the world where it is easy to travel from one corner of the world to another making it easier for the bacteria and viruses to travel too. Thus, people with no vaccination can easily catch the diseases.
- According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), vaccinations provide lifetime protection against many diseases and infections (including influenza, pneumococcal disease, human papillomavirus, and hepatitis A and B). But people who don't get vaccinated for any reason are vulnerable to illness and long-term suffering.
- Immunization is a safe and convenient way to prevent diseases and lead a healthy life. It is as important as diet and exercise are needed to maintain our health. Moreover, immunization helps to save a lot of money that will otherwise be spent on expensive medications and treatment.
- US has more number of deaths resulted due to vaccine-preventable infections than HIV/AIDS, breast cancer, or traffic accidents annually. In US around 50,000 adults die every year due to vaccine-preventable diseases. Thus, vaccination can mean the difference between life and death for a person.
- Vaccines are meant to prevent diseases and not to give you the disease. They contain killed virus which makes it impossible to catch the disease from them. Thus, you are on safe side once you have got vaccinated.
- Although infants and the elderly people are more vulnerable to catch infections but even young people can be affected by vaccine-preventable diseases. So, even if you are young and healthy, getting vaccinated will maintain this state for lifetime.
If the whole family gets vaccinated, it can lead to a healthy lifestyle for children, grandchildren and even parents.
Dealing With Immunization Pain
Immunization involves pain and discomfort which is difficult for children and sensitive people to bear. Thus, numbing creams are used to numb the area where the immunization is to be given and thus reduce the pain to be felt and make it easier for the person to get the injection.
Dr Numb is a popular numbing cream used by doctors all over the world to give their patients a pain free experience. Dr Numb contains a powerful anesthetic Lidocaine that too in a safe amount. Its effect lasts for 2-3 hours and helps to avoid pain during the immunization especially for children and elderly people.
You can buy Dr Numb cream from a nearby pharmacy or online. All you need to do is to apply this cream 30-45 minutes before the immunization process. Cover the skin area with a saran wrap and then remove it once you start feeling numbness.

November 9, 2016 - An investor in shares of Agria Corporation (ADR) (NYSE: GRO) filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey over alleged violations of Federal Securities Laws by Agria Corporation in connection with certain allegedly false and misleading statements made between December 16, 2011 through November 4, 2016.
According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of Agria Corporation (ADR) (NYSE: GRO) common shares between December 16, 2011 through November 4, 2016, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws.
More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between December 16, 2011 through November 4, 2016 the defendants throughout the class period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that defendants engaged in trading to artificially inflate Agria Corporation's stock price in order to meet NYSE's continuing listing standards and avoid delisting from the NYSE, that Agria Corporation lacked effective internal controls over financial reporting, and that as a result of the foregoing, defendants' public statements about Agria Corporation's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
Agria Corporation reported that its Total Revenue declined from $944.71 million for the 12 months period that ended on June 30, 2015 to $807.68 million for the 12 months period that ended on June 30, 2016 and that its Net Loss for those respective time periods increased from $0.45 million to $9.23 million.
On November 4, 2016, Agria Corporation announced it had received a letter stating the New York Stock Exchange planned to commence proceedings to delist Agria Corporation's American Depositary Shares ("ADSs"). According to Agria Corporation, the NYSE letter stated that it had identified evidence indicating that a top executive and other intermediaries engaged in trading intended to artificially inflate Agria Corporation's stock price, and that the Company provided incomplete, misleading, or false information in connection with investigations related to these issues. Trading of the Company's ADSs was suspended on November 3, 2016.

Yeah! As goes California ... so goes Nevada! Glad to hear the news!
Read this!
To say it's exhilarating is an understatement.
The local news confirms it....although the median prices are lower than they were a year ago, the number of sales increased.
Buyers who were apprehensive months ago, seem to be buoyed by the good news that list prices are lower, the interest rates are still low, there are quite a few properties to choose from, there's room for negotiation, and there are more incentives (tax credits) available for home buyers.
And according to DQNews reports:
California January 2009 Sales Report
An estimated 29,458 new and resale houses and condos were sold in California last month. That was down 22.1 percent from 37,836 in December and up 53.9 percent from 19,145 in January 2008. Sales have increased on a year-over-year basis for the last seven months.
Celebrate to inspire
In our office, we make it a practice to celebrate each escrow that is opened by making a general announcement to all the agents and the staff. Imagine our delight when nearly every day this week, someone opened an escrow. Every single sale is cause for celebration.
We are all pumped!
Buyers, we love buyers....we love lots and lots of buyers
Today, it was back-to-back appointments for me, starting with a young couple who want to buy an investment property for owner-occupancy, and ending with a more mature couple who want to downsize and find a one-level ranch home.

Sea ports are important gateways for trading in commodities between countries. The ports form a major infrastructure in the logistic chain of activities in economic transport of goods. It is an acknowledged fact that, there is a big gap between available capacity of ports in India and the huge demand for port services.
In India, marine transport has the highest modal share of export-import cargo. Sea routes provide efficient and cost effective mode of transporting large quantities of goods. As per Ministry of Shipping estimates, traffic at sea ports is likely to grow three times by 2019-20 from the present level.
With the growing cargo traffic across the Indian coastline, it is essential to develop high quality port infrastructure with commodity focus. As on 31.03.2016, the major ports in India has a total of 244 berths, 9 single buoy moorings and two barge jetties to handle cargo traffic. Including the non-major ports would account for more than 300 berths. However, it must be noted that Indian Ports largely continue to remain dominated by multipurpose berth (approximately 60%), which evidently is falling short of specialized commodity focused requirements.
