Company highlights two e-Prescribing contracts announced earlier this month
DALLAS, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zix Corporation (ZixCorp(R)), (Nasdaq: ZIXI), the leader in hosted services for email encryption and e-prescribing, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008. ZixCorp recorded third quarter revenues of $6.7 million and a GAAP net loss of $1.5 million for the quarter, or $0.02 loss per share, compared with revenues of $6.2 million, and a GAAP net loss of $1.9 million, or $0.03 loss per share, in the corresponding quarter of 2007. Total cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2008 were $13.1 million.
"The major catalysts in each of our core businesses -- Medicare legislation in e-Prescribing and OEM channels in Email Encryption -- are beginning to yield the results that make us increasingly optimistic about our future growth and success. In addition, despite the turmoil in the general economy, ZixCorp achieved positive cash flow from operations for the third consecutive quarter in 2008, demonstrating its continued financial stability," said Rick Spurr, chief executive officer for ZixCorp. "In our e-Prescribing business, we believe the previously announced new contracts with BCBS Alabama and Aetna, as well as our participation in the HighMark program, cumulatively indicate the beginnings of the anticipated acceleration in the e-prescribing market following the passage of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008. We believe our track record of success with smaller practices, which comprise the vast majority of the physician market but where few other vendors even compete, demonstrates ZixCorp is well-positioned for growth in this industry. The Email business continues to drive the performance of the company with healthy cash generation and increasing margins. As expected, the contribution from our OEM partners increased significantly in Q3, and with the recent addition of our latest partner Code Green Networks, we believe this business is poised for continued and even accelerated growth, particularly in 2009 when the partners signed this year are expected to begin yielding more business for us."
Corporate Highlights
- Third quarter 2008 revenues increased 8 percent over the comparable quarter last year to $6.7 million
- Third quarter ending cash and cash equivalents balance was $13.1 million, which met the projected guidance for total cash to exceed the second quarter ending cash balance of $13.0 million
- The improvement in cash for the third quarter 2008 of approximately $130,000 compares to the approximately $500,000 cash burn for the third quarter of last year
Business Highlights
Email Encryption Service
- Email Encryption revenue for third quarter 2008 was $5.6 million, up 20 percent when compared to third quarter 2007. Year-to-date revenues of $16.5 million represent an increase of 30 percent compared to the nine-month period last year
- Total orders were $5.2 million, including $1.2 million in new first-year orders in the third quarter
- The company's renewal rate for the quarter was 95 percent
- During the third quarter, the ZixDirectory surpassed 12 million members, with an accelerated growth rate of 80,000 members per week, compared to a growth rate of 70,000 members per week in the second quarter. Last week, the Directory surpassed 13 million members
- Two new significant e-mail encryption health plan customers were added, specifically Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware and HIP in New York, to the company's growing customer base
- The company announced an exciting new relationship with Code Green Networks, a leading provider of Data Loss Prevention ("DLP"). The relationship provides an integrated solution that delivers accurate data loss prevention across all network channels together with a policy-based email encryption service to secure the communication of sensitive information in email
- The company had strong results from our OEM relationships with Google and other industry leaders for the third quarter. The contribution from these channels in the third quarter matched the amount from the previous two quarters of 2008 combined, as well as the orders from our partners for the entire year 2007
- e-Prescribing revenue for third quarter 2008 was $1.1 million, a decrease, as expected, of 28 percent compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Year-to-date revenues of $4.3 million were 3 percent lower than the nine-month period last year
- The company announced participation in Highmark's e-Prescribing/eHealth Initiative, where eligible physicians can obtain the PocketScript e-prescribing service
- On October 13, 2008, the company disclosed its selection as the exclusive e-Prescribing vendor for an initiative with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama. BCBS Alabama will pay for a minimum of 250 (potentially increasing to 300) prescribers located in the state of Alabama to use the PocketScript e-prescribing service
- The company also announced it had expanded its exclusive relationship with Aetna in New Jersey, building on its successful pilot in the state with a new 3-year contract to offer its PocketScript e-prescribing to more than 1,000 additional eligible prescribers in northern New Jersey at no charge to the physician
- Total e-scripts for the third quarter were 2.0 million, up 14 percent over the third quarter last year

Revenues: Third quarter 2008 company-wide revenues increased 8 percent over the comparable quarter last year to $6.7 million. The company's Email Encryption business delivered third quarter revenue of $ 5.6 million, a 20 percent improvement over the corresponding period last year. Email Encryption's increase was due to continued demand earlier this year for our service model in both healthcare and financial services. e-Prescribing third quarter revenue of $1.1 million represented a 28 percent decrease over the same period last year. e-Prescribing revenues decreased principally due to a decline in transaction/usage-based fees and deployment-related fees. The company's order backlog (contractually bound service contracts that represent future revenue to be recognized as the services are provided) was $36.2 million on September 30, 2008.
Gross Margin: The company's gross margin was $4.3 million, or 64 percent of revenue. The gross margin contribution from the Email Encryption business was $4.6 million, or a record 82 percent, while the gross margin for e-Prescribing was negative $0.3 million in the quarter, or a negative 24 percent. The company-wide gross margin for the same period in 2007 was $3.5 million or 57 percent of revenue, which was comprised of $3.6 million in Email Encryption and negative $0.1 million for e-Prescribing. The gross margin improvement for Email Encryption was driven by continued revenue growth combined with a slight decline in cost of revenues. The gross margin for e-Prescribing declined as the decrease in cost of revenues was more than offset by the decline in revenues.
R&D and SG&A Expenditures: In the third quarter 2008, the combination of the company's research and development (R&D) expenses and its sales, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by 5 percent when compared with the same period last year. This increase was driven by a 20 percent year-over-year increase in R&D as we continue to advance each core service, with SG&A flat over the same time period.
Cash Flow: Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2008 were $13.1 million. The approximately $0.1 million increase in the cash balance during the third quarter represents an improvement over the approximately $0.5 million cash burn for the comparable quarter in 2007.
Outlook: The company forecasts revenue for the fourth quarter to be between $6.8 and $7.1 million. e-Prescribing deployments are expected to be approximately 150 prescribers for the fourth quarter. Coming off the third quarter, which is generally our slowest quarter for bookings, the year-end total cash balance is expected to be flat with the third quarter at $13.1 million.

MOSCOW, April 2. /TASS/. Former Russian military intelligence officer Sergei Skripal had been pardoned and set free, therefore Moscow held no grudges against him and had no motive for his alleged poisoning, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday.
"We could not have a possible motive," Lavrov said. "This person had been set free and pardoned within the frames of the swap for Russian nationals several years ago."
"If there were some claims in regard to this man, he would have never been a part of the swap deal," the top Russian diplomat added.
The United States and Britain have stopped observing basic rules of descency and use flagrant lies against Moscow, Lavrov said.
"Our western partners, Britain in the first place, the United States and some other countries that blindly follow in their footsteps have brushed aside all rules of politeness and use flagrant lies and crude disinformation. We respond to this rather calmly and in cold blood. We insist that any charges, any claims must be confirmed by facts," Lavrov pointed out.

My fee is $180. I am out of network, as are all private specialists competent to treat OCD and other anxiety disorders. Regardless of whether you see me or someone else, don't waste time and money seeking help from someone on your insurance plan. There simply are no therapists on any plan that are specialized to treat OCD and anxiety disorders. They are generalists, who might be good for talking about relationships, a crisis, or self esteem, but they won't get rid of your OCD and anxiety. Why is this? Therapy is like anything else; you get what you pay for, and a $50 therapist does not offer the same expertise.
The good news is:
TREATMENT FOR OCD IS MORE AFFORDABLE THAN EVER BEFORE. Most clients' insurance reimburses them for the vast majority of my fee and offer a generous number of sessions. Even better news is that due to a new law, called Timothy's law, that requires insurance to cover treatment for OCD and anxiety (which they term a "biological condition") at a higher rate (as much as 70%) and usually for more or unlimited sessions. So whether or not the therapist is in-network doesn't make as big a difference as it used to. In fact, even with HMOs, I can negotiate with them to cover me as if I were in-network. See below for more information on negotiating with HMO's. Book an appointment online instantly and insurance will likely authorize it retroactively, or call 212-726-2390 or email Dr. Brodsky for a free consult.
If you are uninsured or have an HMO or EPO, there are excellent alternatives. In the NY Metropolitan area, the following are more affordable alternatives for OCD, Panic, and PTSD treatment which either might take insurance or have a sliding scale (affordable) fee:
1. Cornell Medical Center's "Payne Whitney Clinic" on the upper east side of Manhattan 212.746.5868
2. Columbia Presbyterian's "NY Psychiatric Institute" on W.168th and Riverside Drive, call: Jose Hernandez at 212-543-5367 or James Bender Jr., Psy.D., 212-543-546, or look up http://www.columbia-ocd.org/
3. Montefiore Medical Center's "Anxiety and Depression Clinic" in the Bronx
4. Cornell Medical Center in White Plains, NY
5. White Plains Hospital
6. Rutgers Anxiety Center, Piscataway, NJ
7. Hofstra University, Long Island, NY
8. Ferkauf School of Psychology, Yeshiva University/Albert Einstein Medical School, Bronx, NY
9. Mt. Sinai OCD Center, Manhattan
I negotiate with HMOs, EPOs, and Managed Medicaid (Americhoice, HealthPlus, etc.) to cover me as if I'm in-network. If successful, you'll still pay my full fee at each appointment, but your insurance will pay you back everything (their entire usual and customary fee) except your standard copay. In other words, you'll get back between a third to 70% of what you paid. It takes a month to get a decision, but they might approve it retroactively so you can start therapy in the meantime while you wait. It involves some hassle on the client's part, but it costs nothing to try and is often successful. For info call Dr. Brodsky at 212-726-2390, or email Dr. Brodsky or make an appointment instantly online. To start the authorization process you have to make the first call to your insurance, and then I'll take over to advocate for you. Please follow the instructions below exactly as they are written.
1. Call your policy's customer service department (on your insurance card) and tell them: "I am seeking a 'single case agreement' to cover an out of network psychologist that I am seeing." (Sometimes it might be called an 'ad hoc agreement' or 'exception authorization' or 'exception accommodation.')
2. They might transfer you to an "intake" person who will just take down basic facts. Get the names of all people you talked to. Tell them the following:
a. "I am seeking a 'single case agreement' to cover services of a psychologist I am seeing. I need a male psychologist in my area who treats OCD with exposure response prevention (ERP), and who can provide therapy outside of his office, and I called all the providers on the list and none fit this description." (If you wish to add that you want a "therapist who is religious," which I happen to be, it will greatly improve your chances, you don't have to justify why. If they say you can't choose the religion of your therapist, just say you want someone "initimately familiar" with the details of your faith.
b. Emphasize that "exposure response prevention is the only therapy recommended for OCD" by the Obsessive Compulsive Foundation, which is the national medical organization for the treatment of OCD, and the Expert Consensus Protocol for OCD Treatment.
c. Ask them to call Dr. Brodsky at 212-726-2390 "to negotiate a fee" and cover his services. Usually, they will just take the facts (they won't argue with you) and say someone else will review your request and speak to Dr. Brodsky. Before you hang up, get a "reference number" for your discussion. This will ensure they approve coverage retroactive to that date. If they won't call me, get a direct number or extension for me to call, and ask if I can fax the request instead of calling. This will speed up the process. If you can't get that, at least get the number for their "Behavioral Health" division. That will greatly speed up your authorization.
3. Usually they tell you they will send your case to a "care manager" or "care advocate" or "utilization manager" who conducts a "clinical review" of yourcase. Next, the care manager will call either you and/or Dr. Brodsky to get further details to justify "medical necessity."
4. If they give you a hard time, which is very rare:
a. You can prove the necessity of ERP by showing them documents from the OCD Foundation and the Expert Consensus Protocol, which appear on my full web site when you click on the link titled "Insurance."
b. Hang up, call again, and get someone else. If that doesn't work ask to speak to a supervisor if the person you are speaking with can't help you.
c. If they say you can't specify religion, which is highly unlikely, you can still tell them you only feel comfortable with someone who is religious in general, or who is knowledgable about the details of your faith and who is willing to consult with your clergy.
5. Bottom line, don't take no for an answer. If they ever give you a hard time, politely remind them: "You are legally required to cover appropriate treatment of my condition (even if they're an HMO), and must make alternate arrangements if your providers can't treat me, or if your insurance doesn't cover enough (if you have out-of-network coverage)." For more details visit my full web site and click on "Insurance & Fees."
If you have further questions, you an email Dr. Brodsky for a free consultation, call 212-726-2390 or, if you're ready, make an appointment online yourself, and usually insurance will authorize it retroactively.

We do not recommend that adoptees are shipped
I always visit it when it does, and read it over bemusedly.
I think it takes a big heart to have so much love for hermit crabs. It makes me look back on my own childhood and the callous treatment of hermit crabs in my life.
Every summer, we'd make a family jaunt to Ocean City, MD, a/k/a going downyoshun. It was a very big deal. There was some type of trucking convention each year that my dad used to go to, so we'd make a family trip of it. Lots of relatives came too, and we'd get rooms at this incredibly wonderful fun funky beach motel. (On a whim, I googled it, and was beyond thrilled to see it's still in business). Once there, digging for hermit crabs became priority #1.
I have memories of sloshing buckets in the motel room containing sand, ocean water, and an array of hermit crabs. I also have vague memories of my adopted sister and I carefully holding said buckets on the long drive back to Philly, at least when my monstrous demon-child sister wasn't torturing me by putting her finger on my side of the back seat. Despite, I must add, our adoptive mother carefully stacking pillows between us to create a barricade.
But always, somewhere between the beginning of the ride and the time we pulled into the driveway, the hermit crabs mysteriously disappeared. OK not so mysteriously actually. The Sunday morning packing routine was the same each year:
Girls, now it's time to put the crabs back on the beach
Me: tears
Sister: tears
Girls we go through this every year
Me: But-but-but!
Sister: We LOVE our crabs!!
We have a long ride home and you will not want to hold those buckets the entire way
Me: Pleeeeeeaaaaassseeeeeee! (howls)
Sister: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (screams)
No and that's that.
Me: But this is my FA-FA-FA-FAVORITE crab (sobbing)
Sister: (incomprehensible demonic roars)
Do you promise you'll hold those buckets?
Me: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Sister: (still incomprehensible, but nodding)
Alright but this is the last time we're going through this.
It never was.
Being totally serious for a moment, I actually do feel really bad about any defenseless creature being dug up and then left unceremoniously at some highway rest area. Because that's just what happened. With a "Free crabbs!" (sic) sign drawn in crayon taped to the side of the bucket.
Maybe that's why I keep reading this site over and over again when some update triggers it into google alerts.
Or maybe it's just that one line. It always comes up that way in the email I get:
I don't either.
Although you can, for a fee.

Dear Boyfriend, I Love You But I Can't Be With You When You're Shamelessly Sleeping With Someone Else
Tell me, what you think is wrong with my boyfriend. Things were great, but those obviously don't last forever.
We were always close. He'd share everything with me. I guess that's how most relationships work. We trust our significant other with our lives and share our craziest secrets and insecurities with them. Well, at least, that's what he used to do. He told me everything: things that made him happy, sad, everything.
He believed that I'd be able to handle everything. No matter what, because I love him. And I listened. I believed in him, despite all his flaws. Because that's what love is all about, loving and understanding someone, their all and everything.
But is it okay to say, I'm saturated. I can't stand the things that he does anymore and what he tells me.
I feel emotionally abused when it comes to the things he tells me. When I do speak about it, he thinks that I'm freaking out over 'casual' matters.
Casual, like, how can it not matter to me when you say things about me, to me? How can it not matter to me, when you tell me that you're sleeping with someone else? How can it not matter to me, that you had an affair with someone who was married and was going to leave her husband and two children for you?
He shared everything with me. Everything including how he's met someone else. How she doesn't mean anything to him, but that they make out every once in a while, because she insists that they should. He tells me everything and expects me to be alright with this because it's 2017 and I'm the one he loves.Share this quote
I'm trying to make sense of this. The only thing that he's sure of, is that he's honest. And I'm wondering how that's okay? Before I could make sense of all this, he called to tell me that he slept with her. His logic: he slept with the married woman, because it made things better between us. What?!
Later on, he began to share details with me. He told me how she cared for him now and how they were still having sex. I'd had enough. I told him to leave me alone. That I couldn't stand to hear any more of this.
He keeps telling me that I shouldn't bother myself with all these things and that I should understand that this is making our bond stronger. Now he tells me that he can't leave me. No matter what he does, he can't let me go. He isn't even guilty, he only wants me.Share this quote
I love him with all my heart, but being with him is only hurting me. It's too extreme. I break down whenever we speak with each other and I'm tired of being the girl whose always there, but without my feelings being taken into consideration.
I may not be the best girlfriend, but I can't lose my self-respect, dignity or morals anymore. I am sorry that I love him, and that I will still keep loving him, but I can't be with him anymore. He's my apocalypse.Share this quote

I needed a oil gun for my old Wells Index 55. It has grease zerks on the ways to pump oil to them. So I picked up this mini grease gun from Auto Zone. I didnt need a big one.
All you need to to is cut the bottom off, throw the guts away and weld it back up solid. I did teflon tape All of the threads (fittings) to keep oil from pouring out of them. And, it has to be used upside down, so I bought the one with a flexible hose. To fill you just unscrew the body from the pump and fill.

News & Events
DBplus pension purchases
DBplus members who are interested in purchasing an eligible period of employment can submit their purchase forms now.
Members can learn more about a pension purchase by using these tools on the CAAT website:
- NEW! The DBplus Purchase Tool is for members who are serious about making a purchase. The DBplus Purchase Tool allows members to get the purchase process started by giving the member a detailed estimate of their purchase, and downloadable forms and timelines to guide them through the process.
- The tool will be announced to members in April through the member newsletter, and available on our website by mid-April.
- The DBplus Estimator gives members an estimate of their combined pension from both plan designs, plus the value a pension purchase can add to their lifetime pension.
The Plan will start processing purchase for periods of employment prior to the member's enrolment date (sometimes called "pre-enrolment") in April. All other types of pension purchases and transfers will be processed starting in July.
Revised leave and pension purchase forms available in the Employer manual
The manual is a great source of information – refer to it if you need any clarification on the leave, pension purchase, or transfer process.
The new and updated forms are available now.
Annual Statement process - Data Collection is complete
DCT data is complete from almost all employers. We are validating and posting 2018 data, running the year-end update, and processing Annual Statements. Statements will start shipping to members this month.
If your PA has notified you of any outstanding questions regarding the annual data, please respond as soon as possible so that we can finalize the data and process the statements.
Employer attestation complete
Thank you for completing the employer attestations. All employer attestations have been completed and sent to the Plan.
We will review the attestations and contact you if we need any further information or clarification. In addition, we are preparing a report to the Plan's Board of Trustees, to be presented at their next meeting in May.
Pension estimates for early retirement programs
If you are offering a voluntary early retirement program, the Plan can help by providing estimates for affected members to assist them in their pension decisions.
You can also book a retirement planning information session in support of a voluntary retirement program. Representatives from the Plan can answer any pension-related questions your members may have in person. Email firstname.lastname@example.com to learn more or to schedule a session.
Contact your employer PA if you are considering providing a voluntary retirement program, and let them know how many retirement estimates you require, and when you need them. We will provide a template to use to request the estimates. It will simplify your process and enable us to efficiently produce the estimates in a batch. Please consider us early in your planning so we can have a few weeks advance notice to support your initiative.
June 30 retirement applications
With a number of employers who are offering voluntary retirement programs, we expect a higher volume of June 30 retirements this year.
To assist us in ensuring members receive their pensions on time, please send pension applications for June 30 retirements as soon as possible. The deadline for receiving completed pension option forms and supporting documents from members is June 12.
For retiring members interested in purchasing a strike period, the payment must be completed at least two months before their retirement date to avoid delays in their first payment.
Retired Member Annual Statement mailing has started
Retired members and survivors will receive their Annual statements this month. The annual Pension Payment Confirmation form is included in the statement, along with instructions on how to complete it.
For members who have questions about their statements, direct them to call Member Services.
Member survey begins in May
The annual member opinion survey will begin in May. Active members will receive an email invitation to take part in the survey after they've received their annual statements.
Annual report coming in late April, followed by webinar
The Plan's 2018 annual report will be released by the end of April. There will be a webinar reviewing the 2018 financial performance in early May.
Members will receive an email invitation to sign up for the webinar.

The first regional retirement planning event of 2019 took place at Seneca College on Saturday, March 30.
- 105 members and their spouses were in attendance
- 83% of survey respondents said they would be very likely to recommend the session to a friend or colleague
A number of members also volunteered to have their photo taken for the chance to be in our next annual report.
Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com to book an in-person session for your members, or if you'd like to be the host location for a regional event. We can also provide logistical support – including help promoting your session, and tracking registrations.

Upcycling class
If you look Upcycling up on Wikipedia, it says... also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless and/or unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value.
Now defining this activity isn't that fun as practicing it! You MUST try!
We assure you an increasement of your Endorfines levels and a boost of self LOVE that magically will be spread out to anybody who you meet up on the way.
That's how we feel anytime we finish the process of making a pair of Eco Bambas:
1- We specially reuse fabrics. And every fabric has an interesting story behind. Women and men who made or worn these pieces of fabrics tell theirs stories and those stories keep evolving with every new combination done on Eco Bambas that is purchased by our family (You and the rest of the world).
Coffee sacks, Recycled Jeans, worn huipiles, 100 % natural cotton scraps and leather scraps are some of our big collection of Collected materials ( tapestry, curtains, tablecloth, Corduroy, Shirt, Fur scarfs, bags, bagpacks, etc).
2- Also, we gather bamboo sticks on The Pacific coast and make them our beautiful and detailed logo with a bit of heat over them.
3- With the same lineaments we create Eco Bambas pashte insoles. We collect lots of these fantastic vegetables at the coast. And after that there is a hand-made process of taking out the seeds and turning them into a flat surface to get the insole done.
4- Finally, truck tires are the protagonists of Eco Bambas soles. There is a special and super patient crew who spend hours peeling the tire to get the thickness we desire for the shoes.
We work with Real Love to make these shoes for all of you.
Until next time!

Almost done! Please Select Your Region To Receive Customized Content

Your information is safe and secure with us
It's been over five years now since we founded The Fifth Person. In that period, we've shared our investment insights and analysis, published hundreds of articles, and written about how anyone can achieve financial independence through prudent and long-term investing.
Along the way, we've received several emails from readers who wanted a practical guide on how to start investing in Singapore. This was when we realised that while a blog is a great way to share our research and insights in a timely manner, it's not the best way to organise information about a topic in a practical, step-by-step sequence.
So we decided to compile a list of our best articles that will guide you step-by-step on what you need to do to start investing today. We hope this practical guide will help you get the ball rolling — especially if you're a beginner – and ultimately help you make better, more profitable investment decisions. 😊
1. Before you start investing, it's important to set your personal financial goals and how much you need to save (and invest) to reach your target. These articles will show you how to plan ahead and get your personal finances in order before you put first dollar in the stock market.
2. Once you have your finances in order, it's time to open a brokerage account. We'll show you how to open a brokerage account in Singapore and the minimum sum you to get started (it's not much, really).
3. The next step is to choose you investment style that works best for you — based on your own risk profile, investment goals, and financial needs. Remember, any particular strategy can give you great returns as long as you do it right, and you're also free to combine different styles to suit your individual needs.
Knowing that, these articles will give you a deeper introduction into each investment style:
Value-growth investing
Income investing
Singapore REITs (Income investing)
Deep value investing
4. Once you understand the types of companies you should be looking out for, you need to manage a watchlist and portfolio of stocks. We'll show you some quick ways of finding investment ideas to add to your watchlist, and what you need to do manage and monitor your stock portfolio along the way.
5. You can invest in foreign stocks to gain exposure to more growth opportunities as Singapore is a small market. Here are some reasons why investing overseas is a great idea and what you need to look out for.
6. Your CPF is an important part of your financial planning and retirement. Here are some articles which show you how to make full use of your CPF and the important things you need to consider if you plan on investing your CPF.
We hope you find this guide on how to start investing in Singapore useful. This list is by no means final and we'll add/update the guide as we write more articles and share new information that's relevant to investing in Singapore.
At the same time, check our favourite investment books, read our analysis section, and our coverage on annual general meetings on how we apply these concepts when we do our research on companies in Singapore and beyond – I believe you'll find a treasure trove of insights that will help you become a better, more profitable investor.
To your investing success,
The Fifth Person

Hi I am from Bangladesh. And I am a regular trader in Dhaka Stock Exchange market.
Now a days I feel a big interest to start my investment/trading in Singapore stock market.
So How can I do that as a Bangladeshi/foreigner?
hi , do you have training classes of the investment quadrant upcoming soon?
Hi may i know will our investments be taxed? Because we singaporeans have to pay income tax. For example if i were to engaged in stocks or shares .. thank you & what if we were to buy shares from foreign stock exchange?
Hi guys. Many thanks for this wonderful guide, presented in an easy to understand and objective manner. I am a retiree and a new investor. I am interested in Index-based ETFs as they are diversified and low cost. You mentioned that the best way to invest in Vanguard ETFs are through US or Vanguard brokerages. I know Vanguard has presence in HK and Australia. Do you mean the brokerages in these countries? Further, which of these have the lowest expense rates in Total – iFast(in SG), the HK/Australia brokerages, IB, TDAmeritrade, Schwab, when it comes to US/Vanguard ETFs? Many thanks for your pointers!
Hi there, I'm a foreigner living in Singapore and interested in investing in foreign stocks. According to your previous comments I assume the best beneficial way to invest in e.g. U.S. stocks is only by choosing those companies without paying a dividend due to the 30% withholding tax?
Do you also have any knowledge in terms of tax payments in Singapore regarding the European stock market (Capital gains and dividends), e.g. UK and Germany stocks.
Many thanks in advance.
Hi Cloud,
Yes, I'd invest for growth instead of dividends in the U.S. markets due to the dividend withholding tax.
There is no capital gains tax in Singapore for stock investments: https://www.iras.gov.sg/IRASHome/Individuals/Locals/Working-Out-Your-Taxes/What-is-Taxable-What-is-Not/Gains-from-Sale-of-Property–Shares-and-Financial-Instruments/

So, I felt pretty much lost in building the app, essentially because I don't quite understand why all the people are making more than one .js file - app.js, timestamp.js, router.js etc, and, more embarassing, I don't understand the code they made… Since it was hard for me to grasp the philosophy behind that, I decided to just try and make it work, and after I'm done with the first working version, I could ask for help.
These are my GitHub repository and Heroku app:
Please feel free to look at it, it seems to be working…
What's more important - could anyone explain why should I make multiple .js files instead of one for this project - what's the benefit? Also, if someone would be so kind and explain me what would it look like if my server.js was separated into two or more files - I think I still don't understand the concept, or the "big picture" behind all this… All in all, an example (simpler - better) and an explanation would be fantastic.

The comment period is now closed. We will provide an update on any future steps the USDA takes on this issue.
Dear Humanitarian,
The US Department of Agriculture is charged with ensuring that animal raising label claims on meat and poultry products are truthful and not misleading. Yet, the USDA's current approval process for claims such as "humanely raised," "free range," and "pasture raised," allow practices that are a far cry from consumer expectations. A producer may keep animals crammed in barren sheds by the thousands, with no natural light, and ammonia-soaked litter that burns their eyes and skin, yet still slap a "humanely raised" label claim on the package.
Attempting to clarify its procedures, the USDA recently published a new guidance document that explains the department's approval process for animal raising claims. Unfortunately, the new guidance does nothing to align label claim requirements with consumer expectations. It continues to allow producers to define claims however they like, and puts the onus on consumers to decipher the meaning of label claims.
Like consumers, animals and farmers are also harmed when the USDA does not properly regulate label claims. The new guidance actually discourages producers from providing higher welfare for animals, because producers can maintain the status quo and still receive a premium for claiming that the animals were raised in a more humane manner. Farmers who actually do meet higher welfare standards and incur the costs associated with those standards are thus disadvantaged in the marketplace.

Berthal "Bucky" Albert Thomas, 66, of Auxvasse, Mo., passed away at 7 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 5, 2019, at his home.
Funeral services will be held at noon Saturday, Oct. 12, 2019, at the James O'Donnell Funeral Home in Hannibal. Burial will be at Salem Cemetery in Center, Mo.
Friends and family are invited to Bucky's Life Celebration at a visitation that will be held from 11 a.m. until noon on Saturday at the funeral home.
Bucky was born on Oct. 2, 1953, in Belle Fourche, S.D., to Lacy and May Carman Thomas.
He was married on Jan. 18, 1975, in Hannibal, to Sheree Menger of Palmrya, Mo.
Survivors include his wife, Sheree; his mother, May Thomas; two daughters, Keisha Thomas-Maze (Gabriel) and Kamey Baker (Johnathan); two brothers, Jim Thomas (Heide) and Danny Thomas (Sue); two sisters, Theresa Egbert (Ron) and Becky Tucker (Ken); one sister-in-law, Levadia Sankpill; and 12 grandchildren, Logan Curry, Abigale Curry, Kayana Bruce, Kassidy Maze, Kristhopher Bruce, QwenShaun Smith, Matao Maze, Justice Baker, Crystal Smith, Johnathan Baker, Dustin Kyle Baker and Kaden Baker.
Bucky was preceded in death by his grandparents, Berthal and Mary Ann Carman; his father, Lacy; his son, Kyle Dustin Thomas; two sisters, Mary Sheffield and Jean Ann Powell; brothers-in-law, Jim Powell and Bob Sankpill; sister-in-law, Wanda Majors; and his mother-in-law and father-in-law.
Bucky was a farmer all his life. He worked with hogs, cattle and crops. His primary focus was in pork production, as he managed several operations over his 30 plus years in the field. Later in his agricultural career Bucky was a operator at a retail greenhouse, where he became known as the "Geranium Man" because of his particularly beautiful and well-cared-for geraniums.
Away from work Bucky enjoyed rabbit and deer hunting and especially fishing. He also liked to follow St. Louis Cardinals baseball and Kansas City Chiefs football. Caring for his chickens and spending time with his dogs; Bo the Beagle as his hunting companion, Mister his Afgan hound and especially his favorite German Shepherd, "Koda" were moments that Bucky cherished. The Andy Griffith Show was a treasured favorite. Watching old westerns, caring for his assorted houseplants and gardening were a few of Bucky's favorites. Those that knew Bucky will smile when remembering his great sense of humor. Bucky loved his family most, he was always so very proud of his children and grandchildren and looked forward to the moments they shared.
Pallbearers will be Bucky's grandchildren, Logan Curry, Kristopher Bruce, QwenShaun Smith, Matao Maze, Crystal Smith and Dustin Kyle Baker.
Memorial contributions may be made to the St. Jude's Children's Hospital.

A sting operation to capture arms dealer Miles Jackson goes awry when the FBI's inside man double crosses them. Miles rendezvouses with his girlfriend Erica Kessen, who has a getaway car. Officers Danny Fisher and Hank Carver are dispatched to help the FBI. They look at Jackson's record and see a surveillance video of him dancing with Kessen. An encounter with them at a traffic light leads to her death and Miles being taken away. Miles swears vengeance on Fisher.One year later Fisher, now promoted to Detective due to his actions with Jackson, gets a phone call from Jackson, who has escaped from prison. Fisher runs outside the house looking for Jackson, and Fisher's car and house explode, throwing him to the ground. After Fisher recovers, Jackson says he is launching a game of revenge called "12 Rounds." The house, the car, and Phil, the plumber who came to fix a pipe were "Round 1." Molly Porter, Fisher's girlfriend is kidnapped by Jackson for "Round 2." For "Round 3," Fisher and Carver must follow a series of clues to locate the cell phone that Jackson calls, and for "Round 4" Fisher has to get to New Orleans Savings and Loan where a fire has broken out and extract two security deposit boxes within 20 minutes. Carver has a lead on the man who helped kidnap Molly Porter and volunteers to look into that while Fisher continues with the game. FBI Special Agents George Aiken and Ray Santiago work with them to get Porter back.For "Round 5" one of the security boxes is a bomb and the other contains a clue to the next round. Fisher discovers and disposes of the bomb.The other box contains a hotel room key. The room is raided and found empty. For "Round 6," Fisher follows a series of clues to a bus where he finds Porter on board, wearing a bomb underneath her jacket. He is handcuffed to a bar and is given an envelope with a phone number as the clue to the next round. The Feds try to get Jackson but he escapes with Porter. When Fisher is freed, he tells the Feds about the bomb. Carver shows up and tells Fisher he has located Jackson's henchman, Anthony Deluso. In "Round 7" Fisher has to find the correct cell phone number that disarms bombs placed in different locations. Jackson answers and tells him that his call disabled Streetcar 907's brakes. Fisher and Santiago slam their car into the transformer, shutting off electricity for the whole neighborhood. They run along the streetcar, clearing people out of the way until it can slow to a halt.A mine planted by Jackson kills Carver and Deluso. Jackson says that Porter's bomb can only be disarmed by Fisher's fingerprint. He tells Fisher to pay a visit to Erica Kessen, so Fisher, Santiago, and Aiken start for the cemetery. Another detective, Chuck Jansen calls Fisher to tell him that the numbers in the envelope were rigged to the streetcar. Jackson had cameras monitoring the elevator shaft and set off the bomb five seconds early. Fisher realizes that Willie's death in the elevator episode was orchestrated by Jackson. Santiago does a check on Willie and finds he had a second job as a Homewood Security guard. They figure out that Jackson was leading them to take out the power because Homewood Security comes in to move the federally unprotected cash from the United States Mint in New Orleans. Jackson's grudge against Fisher was only a cover for in his scheme to steal this money.Aiken tells Santiago to lock down the Mint, while he and Fisher go after Porter. Fisher realizes that "Round 12" is a wild-goose chase, since Jackson needs Porter, a nurse, to help him escape. Jackson, dressed as a security guard, steals the cash. He uses Porter's ID card to get to a Medevac chopper on a hospital roof, transporting the money inside a body bag. Fisher and Aiken race to the hospital roof, where Aiken is wounded. Fisher activates the touch phone-bomb and throws the switch away. Porter and Fisher jump into a pool, while Jackson is left in the exploding helicopter.12 Rounds is not a movie that should be taken overly serious. It aims for an audience who expects cool explosions, a fast talking villain, and a ton of action. In that respect, this movie is alright.

Kids that enjoy the company nowadays have a variety of choices when it comes to domesticated animals. But some like this kid from the Canary Islands in Spain tend to bend the rules, defying the norms when it comes to their pet animal of choice.
As seen in this video footage taken in a pier in the Canary Islands, Spain, in the video the boy is shown slapping his hand on the water surface, as if he was beaconing or signaling for something to surface. And soon enough something did surface, it was shiny, dark and it was huge, it was a huge stingray! What exactly are stingrays?
Stingrays are a group of sea rays, some have specialized jaws that allow them to crush hard mollusk shells, stingrays are not usually aggressive and attack humans only when provoked, such as if a ray is accidentally stepped on.
Contact with the stinger causes local trauma (from the cut itself), pain, swelling, muscle cramps from the venom, and later may result in infection from bacteria or fungi, rays are cartilaginous fish related to sharks, that's right you read that right they're related to Sharks. And it didn't stop with just one stingray, more and more rays actually surfaced crowding the water surface.
Normally people avoid stingrays fearing their notorious poisonous barbed tails, and those poisonous tails pack a punch, it has been known to cause excruciating pain with some incidents resulting to unexpected things to happen.
Click here to watch a video that was taken as a young boy feeds a manta ray. This is a pretty unusual sight. The young boy in the video below has created a very strange friend. He is feeding and petting (really patting) a large stingray which seems to enjoy letting him pet it and even eats out of his hand. Manta rays are typically not aggressive, and he was even allowed to pet it.
Posted by Best Animal World on Thursday, February 4, 2016
The usual response to stingrays amassing near the beach would be to scream in fear or skedaddle out of there, but not this boy, the boy seemed to pay little attention to those poisonous barbed tails, in fact the boy even proceeded to feed the rays, not by merely throwing food on the water but rather with his hands! It is clear that these animal trust the boy and vice versa. Now wild animals are no different to domesticated ones, both need genuine care and love from humans.

This afternoon I took a five mile hike from my apartment, across the old bridge over the Neckar River to the Philosophers Way. It was a steep climb of several dozens stairs up to the Philosophers Way, but it was worth it. It gives you a great view of the old city of Heidelberg from across the river, and there are a great variety of flowers, trees, and other plants. I chose to start at the lower end and finished by going down the narrow, twisting, steep Schlangeweg (snake path). From the Philosophers Way I took the footpath up the Heiligenberg (Holy Mountain). It's about 1400 feet above see level, maybe 1200 from river. I'm not a serious hiker by any means, and it was strenuous for me to go so steep and so steady. I had water, nutella on bread, and chocolate, so all was good. The trees were enormous and most of the time I was the only person I saw, which was a relief from the crush of tourists in the old city.
I finally reached the top, and guess what I saw? A bus stop. Yes, I could have taken a bus – or car if I had one. But there was also a biergarten, which I knew would be helpful later. My goal was to reach the old Celtic, Roman, and Christian holy site on the very top of the mountain. On the way I passed an amphitheater built by Dr. Goebels to promote the Nazi neo-pagan ideology – a start reminder that spiritual places can be turned to evil purposes. Higher up the mountain, though was the location of the old Celtic settlement and shrine. Some of the old wall remains from the original 6th century BC hill fort. When the Romans conquered that part of Germany they built a temple to Mercury on the site. Mercury was associated with the German god Wodan. Some of the old Roman work remains. And then around 1000 the Christians began building St. Michael's monastery. Only the ruin remains, and some of the stones were used to build a tower for 19th century tourists to see Heidelberg. Even in ruins, the monastery is beautiful. It was so peaceful to sit there and remember the people who brought their prayers to God (or at least their god) for over 2,500 years. So I prayed as well.
From there I walked back down to the biergarten to have refreshing Radler. I order goulash since I was famished by the hike, but I meant the soup. Instead I got the special of the day which was a huge pile of stewed beef and egg noodles with a salad. I could barely eat it all. Stuffed and relaxed, I ventured down to the site of the St Stephen's cloister at the other end of the mountain top. It is smaller than St Michaels, but is very close to the old Celtic wall and has some very ancient graves. There is a tower built to see Heidelberg, but since the trees were cut away, I just sat on the bench looking down on the castle. It didn't look like a ruin from that vantage point. I could also see my apartment building more than 2 miles away.
The walk down was much faster, but very steep. I could have taken the easier path, but decided shorter and steeper was better. I found the famous Schlangeweg of Snaky Path which twists up the mountain from the river. It has high walls and lots of irregular steps and cobble stones. Even going down it was a bit rough, but it was beautiful. And so many generations of writers and thinkers have trod upon those stones through the years. It lead me straight to the Old Bridge and back into the old city. I have to admit that the most exhausting part of the hike may have been the final two flights of stairs to my room. I was tired in a very good way and renewed in body and soul. A bunch of water, a shower, and a sparkling wine did much to revive me. Since lunch was late and large, I think dinner will be ice cream tonight. I'm not sure that people who teach pilgrimage recommend ice cream at the end of a steep climb to an ancient holy site, but it sure works for me.

The LG SIGNATURE collection of appliances is the culmination of LG's efforts to refine its products, bringing together enhanced functionality and stunning design in the pursuit of perfection.
In May, LG introduced the LG SIGNATURE InstaView Door-in-Door™ Refrigerator that radically redefines one of the most essential household appliances with its cutting-edge technology and stunning design.
LG SIGNATURE is the result of LG's 'Art of Essence' design ethos, giving consumers the highest performance, minimalistic design, and innovative usability with exquisite attention to detail.
"LG SIGNATURE is a reflection of this ethos, transforming something beyond a mere appliance into décor for the home. This is the pursuit of perfection for LG, and we are very proud to bring the LG SIGNATURE InstaView refrigerator to discerning Kenyan consumers, giving them not only the most functional fridge, but a piece of art for their home," says Mr. Kevin Cha, president of LG Electronics Middle East and Africa.
The acclaimed and award-winning LG SIGNATURE InstaView Door-in-Door™ Refrigerator offers consumers convenient, intelligent features, housed in an exquisitely crafted textured steel body that is the pinnacle of elegant design.
Here are five standout features of the LG SIGNATURE InstaView Door-in-Door™ Refrigerator that encapsulates the perfect blend of sophistication and functionality:
Two quick knocks on the stunning sleek mirrored glass panel illuminates the fridge, allowing you to see inside the easy access compartment without ever opening the door. As a result, the LG SIGNATURE InstaView Door-in-Door™ is not just convenient, but energy-saving as well, helping keep food inside fresher for longer by preventing cold air loss.
In keeping with the 'Art of Essence' design ethos, the LG SIGNATURE InstaView is designed to make the ultimate style statement. From its textured stainless steel finish that is made to be scratch-resistant, and its premium LED lighting, Platinum Fresh Wall interiors, and sleek Eclipse Display, the LG SIGNATURE InstaView Door-in-Door™ is in a class of its own.
With the Auto Open Door feature, the LG SIGNATURE InstaView Door-in-Door™ knows when you are close. The smart sensor detector at the foot of the refrigerator automatically opens the door for you when you are near. Just step on the "Door Open" light projection on the floor in front of the refrigerator and the door gently opens.
Premium LED lighting under each shelf illuminates the entire fridge, even when it is full thanks to an intelligent design approach. The freezer drawers are also automated, giving you easy access to your frozen foods. The Auto Open Drawer feature automatically pulls out all the freezer drawers helping you store and organise your food in the best way possible.
With Platinum Fresh Wall, the LG SIGNATURE InstaView Door-in-Door™ offers users a perfectly crafted stainless steel interior that helps maintain cold air inside, and a premium look. Together with the FRESHShield™ Cooling feature, the fridge creates a thermal barrier using cold air to maintain temperatures and lock in freshness.
Additionally, the Hygiene Fresh+™ Fresh Air Filter forces air circulation inside, and a dedicated fan helps deodorise the air so everything stays and smells fresh and clean for a healthy family

This may be old news to everyone who is interested, but just in case I wanted to reinforce the ease with which web browsers have access to Al Jazeera. When we lived in Abu Dhabi it was a daily presence that explained the Arab world, just not in English to those of us whose Arabic was pathetic at best. I missed and wished for an English language translation that would help me understand the news and views of the Arab culture.
Tune in to watch Al Jazeera in English for another view of what's happening in the Arab world. It's a far cry from Fox and a complement to the mainstream US interpretation of the world scene writ (televised?) large.

our week
We've been dropping like flies over here. First Stella, then Oliver, then Mabel. Yesterday, it was my turn and I found myself at the urgent care. Strep throat anytime is terrible, but in the middle of summer, oh it's the worst! Luckily we are all on antibiotics and everyday we feel a little bit better. What did people do before penicillin? Goodness we are lucky to have it.

Sorry, Microsoft fans, but it looks like samurai Dark Souls is not coming over to the Xbox One. According to a tweet put out by the official Koei Tecmo Europe account, the publisher stated, "There are no current plans to bring Nioh to Xbox."
The news comes in the form of a reply to a series of tweets. A Spanish gaming outlet known as Saselandia posted a video to YouTube. In the footage, Koei Tecmo was screenshotted as suggesting that Nioh coming over to Xbox is "not out of the realms of possibility." Koei Tecmo then confirmed that Sony owns the Nioh retail license.
Koei Tecmo was then asked if it could do a digital release, similar to what Square Enix did with NieR: Automata, to which it replied, "While under contract with Sony no. But like I said it's not a complete no. In the future it may happen." This conversation took place via Twitter direct message, but the date of the exchange has been hidden.
A day later, after being asked whether an improved version of Nioh for Xbox One was true, Koei Tecmo Europe said that the guy was "stretching" and the studio had "no current plans" of porting Nioh over to Xbox One.
Sorry, this guy is stretching. It's the same answer I give everyone who asks. There are NO current plans to bring Nioh to Xbox
— KOEI TECMO EUROPE (@koeitecmoeurope) August 7, 2018
So in case you thought maybe Nioh could make it over to Xbox One, because it was released on the PC back in November 2017, Koei Tecmo has confirmed that this isn't happening in the foreseeable future. However, the publisher did say in the Twitter direct message, it's "not out of the realm of possibility."
With Sony owning the Nioh license, it depends on whether Sony wants to play nice with the rest of the industry. Given the company currently isn't playing nice when it comes to cross-play, it's unlikely we'll see Nioh—or Nioh 2, for that matter—on the Xbox One. Sorry again, Microsoft fans.
A Nioh Xbox One Port Is Unlikely, as Koei Tecmo Has 'No Current Plans'
Back in May 2018, developer Team Ninja announced that Nioh had sold two million copies worldwide. It's a shame Xbox One owners will never be able to experience the brilliance of Nioh, but it's never too late to jump in on a different platform.
Nioh is available now for PlayStation 4 and PC.

Arms are becoming art.
The NYPD yesterday sent 946 guns seized in crimes or turned over in buyback programs to a Jersey City recycling plant, where they'll be melted into metal for a statue of a "Peace Angel."
The guns will be processed at a Sims Metal Management plant along with nonradioactive casings from spent nuclear weapons to create a 5-foot statue that will be installed next March at Police Headquarters.
The seated angel's left hand will rest atop a globe, and the right will hold an olive branch.
The guns are mostly junk metal, said sculptor Lin Evola, so the statue will get its shine from the stainless steel in the nuke casings.
