Naicker signed a one-year deal with the KZN side at the start of the campaign, after playing for Milano United in the National First Division last season.
The former national under-20 goalkeeper, however, has been unable to break into the first team at Arrows.
He has been playing in the Multichoice Diski Challenge (MDC), featuring in all of the side's matches as they went onto win the championship for a second time under the guidance of coach Vusimuzi Vilakazi.
The former Jomo Cosmos shot stopper, who turned 27 yesterday, landed in the country this morning with the Arrows MDC team that was in Spain. They played against Rayo Vallecano and Girona during their tour of Spain, and had a tour of Barcelona's Camp Nou Stadium as well as Real Madrid Santiago Bernebeu.
The goalkeeper confirmed that talks between him and the club are already underway.
"Well I just have a season with Arrows, and it's ending now." Naicker tells KickOff.com.
"We have been talking, but nothing has been finalised or put on paper. To be honest I haven't heard from my agent for a few weeks so I haven't got a clue."

Well, the end of the semester is upon us, which means that I'll be doing a whole lot of writing and a fair amount of grading in the next few weeks, now that classes are essentially done.
But this time of year also means that I can get my craft thing on like there's no tomorrow. So that's what I've been doing.
A LOT of cookies have been made. I'm not sure who's going to eat all of them, because my cats don't seem all that interested in them. So I guess it's up to me...
I've also been knitting and knitting and knitting. Because if it's going to be cold and dreary and a little snowy, and then get even colder and drearier (and perhaps snowier?), then that's just what has to happen.
I finished one little gift, and since I'm quite certain the person who will be receiving it doesn't read my blog, I'll post a couple of pictures.
It's a scarf: an easy knit that opens out into a lacework pattern when you wet-block it, like so:
I confess, it looks kinda cool on the blocking squares, doesn't it? But no, it can't simply remain there. It must go out into the world, sorta like so:
And I didn't feel like trying, let's be honest. I made the scarf, that counts for a lot.
Because while working on the scarf, I also decided to experiment and try making a few Christmas ornaments for my tree. Specifically, I decided I wanted to try to knit a couple of snowflake patterns, and see how they turn out.
The other one is crocheted. That went about a bazillion times faster, so that's what I opted to do when the madness came upon me and I decided to make a few more. Like so:
It's a way to stiffen them, so that they hang like ornaments, rather than folding or flopping like doilies.
There are several ways to stiffen a snowflake (okay, that sounds odd, but bear with me): you can use glue... yes, I was a bit skeptical about that as well, but yes, you can.
Or, you can use cornstarch, which is what I did. The advantage to glue is, it's permanent. The disadvantage to glue is, it's permanent.
With cornstarch, if something happens to the ornament--I'm envisioning something analogous to what happens when you neatly pack away Christmas lights and the cords spend the summer having group sex (or something), so that they're hopelessly entangled when the Yuletide season rolls around the following year.
With corn-starched ornaments, if there's a problem--if they get bent while being packed away, or a little grubby or whatever--you just wash 'em out and re-starch 'em.
The starching is a sticky mess: I just went old school and added a tablespoon of it to a half-cup of water, boiled and stirred, let it cool a bit and then plunked those bad-boys in. You have to be careful, because you don't want to mess with boiling hot cornstarch: it will both stick to your skin and burn you.
In short, if you're not careful, it will burn you and then keep on burning you. Just like some people... but I digress.
To keep my strength up while being crafty, I came upon a wonderful recipe for garlic rosemary chicken with cranberries--because I need to supplement the cookies with a bit more nutrition, I think. So this was that, going into the oven:
And I hate to say it, but I'm looking for a reason to make it again soon, and I haven't even finished all the leftovers from the first time around.
But before I do that, I need to actually do a bit of work.
Because although the semester is rapidly winding to a close and classes are basically over, it ain't over until it's over. And it ain't over just yet.

Evaluating the impact of renewable energy use on nature
To what extent can renewable energy be reasonably used? And how can conflicts with the biodiversity conservation be minimized? The recharge.green partners rely on decision support tools to answer these questions.
Scientists in the project have calculated the theoretical potential 2V0-621D for selected renewable energy sources in the pilot areas. In this context it is important not to overlook nature and its ecosystem services. To tackle this challenge, project partners EURAC with the University of Trento, IIASA and Slovenia Forest Service have developed various decision support systems which can help us evaluate the eligibility of renewable energy use.
These decision support systems consider technical, theoretical and economic components. They evaluate the potential impact of renewable energy use on ecosystem services under various different scenarios. For example, in the pilot area Triglav National park special attention was paid to Natura 2000 species and habitats. With the help of the decision support system, maps showing the potential for biomass pass4lead.com use were overlaid cheap Windows 10 Pro Key with maps showing selected Natura 2000 species and habitat important areas. When planning renewable energy use, potential threats to nature can now be evaluated and as a result the natural resource use and nature conservation can be better balanced.
In addition, threats to nature are comprehensively evaluated with the strategic environmental cheap Windows 10 Home Key assessment procedure. It should be applied in particular in protected areas and Natura 2000 sites. The existence of various such evaluation systems and procedures allows recharge.green partners to compare the outcomes of the different systems when evaluating the impacts of renewable energy sources. In the end, the project 210-451 team will make recommendations VMCE_V9 on how to improve the existing procedures.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the unions include the Nigeria Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and the National Union of Road Transport Owners (NARTO).
The state INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) Prof. Samuel Egwu, said the purpose of the MoU is to bring about improved logistics in the general election.
"The terms of reference of the MoU are clear and unambiguous, namely, to partner with INEC in delivering election personnel and materials promptly on election days and to undertake reverse logistics.
"For obvious reasons, we have yet to finalise discussion with Road Transport Employees Association of Nigeria (RTEAN).
"INEC is particularly thrilled by the content of the MoU that specifies roles of the leadership of the unions in ensuring proper behaviour on the part of their drivers and functionaries," he added
Egwu noted that a similar MoU was signed by the commission at the national level in December 2018.
"This event replicates the signing of a similar MoU at the national level in 2018 for the same purpose," he said.
He maintained that with the partnership, INEC would be in a position to open polling units at least by 8 a.m., saying that alone could contribute significantly to free, fair and credible election.
The state NURTW chairman, Alhaji Musa Kontagora stated that his union was committed to playing it's role in ensuring peaceful election in the state and the country at large.
Alhaji Adamu Mohammed, the state NARTO chairman, assured of his union's readiness to comply with the terms of the MoU.

1. Randy Houser, "How Country Feels" (2013)
You ever watched the sun go down / From the bed of a pickup truck / Ever been so into somebody / You're still lying there when it comes back up.
Houser has released at least two songs in a year about the possibilities of sex and pick up trucks. He's a big fan, apparently.
2. Lee Kernahagen, "Ute Me" (2012)
Ute me, Ute me / I like it out back down a red dirt road / Ute me, Ute me / Shake this rig gonna rock and roll / Nobody's stopping us now / We're gettin' dirty and down / Ute me.
Ute is Aussie for a kind of utility vehicle, which has the same cultural baggage as a pick up truck here, it also rhymes with root, which is slang for sex.
3. Jason Aldean, "Take A Little Ride" (2012)
Well I'm just ready to ride this Chevy / Ride this Chevy down a little backroad / Slide your pretty little self on over / Get a little closer, turn up the radio / Put your pretty pink toes on the dash / Lean your seat back / Man, I swear there ain't nothing looks better than that / Sweet tan, little thing with nothing to do / I wanna take a little ride with you.
For Chevy, read "penis." For "you can play my radio", read "play with my penis". For everything else, just read "penis."
4. Florida Georgia Line, "Cruise" (2012)
She was sippin' on southern and singin' Marshall Tucker / We were falling in love in the sweet heart of summer / She hopped right up into the cab of my truck and said / "Fire it up, let's go get this thing stuck."
Finally, a woman takes initiative in the whole getting stuck in the back forty thing. Too bad this might be the most chaste of the works in question.
5. Rascal Flatts, "Banjo" (2012)
Yeah, you're gettin' close now / And you kick it into four wheel drive when you run out of road / And you go, and you go and you go-go-go / 'Til you hear a banjo.
All of this driving women into places that they can't be found sounds less seductive and more sinister when the lyrics remind you a little of Deliverance.
6. Kip Moore, "Somethin' 'Bout A Truck" (2011)
Something about a kiss that's gonna lead to more / On that dropped tailgate, back behind the corn / The most natural thing, you've ever felt before / Something about a kiss that's gonna lead to more.
Moore spends a lot of time convincing himself that all of this natural and beautiful, but he might be working a bit too hard to do what the birds and bees are telling him to do.
7. Luke Bryan, "I Don't Want This Night to End" (2011)
You got your hands up / You're rocking in my truck / You got the radio on / You're singing every song / I'm set on cruise control / I'm slowly losing hold.
Rocking might be dancing, or it might mean something a bit more historical – think of it somewhere between the original meaning of rock and roll, and the '70s slogan "If this vans a rocking..."
8. Jake Owens, "Eight Second Ride" (2009)
So we headed out to Old Tobacco Road / put the tailgate down and we made love / She said "A true country boy is hard to find / But I found one wilder then any eight second ride."
If you meet someone at a bar, and instead of going home, you go to "tobacco road", because you find the dude's giant tires and dipping cup attractive – you are probably not making love.
9. Justin Moore, "Back That Thing Up" (2008)
Back that thing up / Throw it in reverse, let daddy load it up /
Honey, back that thing up / If you gonna work a farm you got to learn to drive a truck / Come on, back that thing up.
Considering the porny double entendres in the video, the shredded '80s guitars, and "that thing" is generally understood to mean ass – this song might not be about farm work.

Winner: 5-8 year olds
I chose my sister because she giggles and laughs when I'm asleep and I have one eye opened and one eye closed. I pretend to be a Jedi with light sabers. I put her in jail because I don't like putting people in jail that much so I wanted to do something different.

Challenge: waste economy
Challenge statement
How might we create a new waste economy by unlocking waste as a resource, so that we can create jobs in new industries while reducing landfill and increasing markets for recycled materials?
Brisbane is a clean, green and sustainable city. Our approach to sustainable living resulted in Brisbane being named Australia's Most Sustainable City in 2014 and 2016 at the Keep Australia Beautiful Australian Sustainable Cities Awards. Key to maintaining our vision for a clean, green, sustainable city is our ability to reduce, re-use and recycle waste.
As the financial and environmental costs associated with traditional resource sectors increase, alternatives such as recycling and resource recovery become more efficient. Turning the traditionally linear production process into a renewable cycle not only delivers environmental benefits by keeping material out of landfill, but can also deliver significant benefits for our economy, potentially creating new job opportunities and scalable, exportable industries.
- For every one job involved in landfill, five are created by resource recovery
- 10 jobs could be created for every 10,000 tonnes of recycled materials
In Brisbane. Clean, Green, Sustainable 2017-2031 Council commits to supporting business to adopt innovative production and distribution systems that minimise waste and build strong markets to re-purpose waste into usable products. We are looking to businesses, academia and peak bodies from across industry, to understand their role in the supply chain and work together to address this challenge and unlock the value of waste.
Background to the problem
The circular economy is gaining support as there is growing recognition of its financial, environmental and social value.
Waste contains valuable, recoverable resources. Cooking oil can become biodiesel, restaurant scraps can mulch city parks and pre-loved clothes can be turned into insulation. The opportunities to unlock the value of waste at an industry level are immense, however it requires significant coordination and collaboration from all parts of the 'whole-of-life' supply chain – from product designers and manufacturers to waste management and recycling industries.
Australians have indicated an unprecedented level of support for industry being part of the solution in creating a high value waste economy. In a study conducted by the Crosby Textor Group, 87% support making it compulsory for recycled content to be used in all packaging.
Currently, in Brisbane:
- all recyclables (90,000 tonnes per annum), are sent to Brisbane's recycling contractor. All paper, magazine, cardboard and cardboard packaging material is pulped and recycled directly onsite at their paper mill. Plastics, glass and metals are all sorted in bales and sent to local and overseas markets
- domestic green waste recycling (85,000 tonnes per annum) is processed in Yatala where it is composted and turned into a range of organic products, such as soil and compost.
Council initiatives and data
A list of Council's current initiatives and strategies around waste reduction are listed below.
- Brisbane. Clean, Green, Sustainable 2017-2031
- Rethink Your Rubbish
- Revive
- Recreate
- Love Food Hate Waste
- Business Recycling
- Community Composting Hubs
- Resource Recovery Centres
- Household Hazardous Waste
- Kerbside large items collection
- Brisbane Bin and Recycling App
- Green Waste Recycling
- Cleaner Suburbs Awards

Global Registered Jack Market is segmented on the basis of type, application and region. A Registered Jack (RJ) comes across as a standardized telecommunication network interface to connect voice and data equipment to a service provided by a long distance carrier or local exchange carrier. Telephone companies are only responsible for delivery of their services for minimum port of entry. The customer is responsible for managing all of the physical details, including jacks and wiring. Registered Jack Market is classified, by type into RJ11 (RJ11W, RJ11C), RJ14 (RJ14C, RJ14W), RJ21, RJ25, RJ45, RJ48 and others. RJ11 is the most popular modular form of registered jack. It is found in houses and offices where old telephone wired systems are connected with the ISP's line. RJ11C is surface or flush-mounted for use with desk telephone sets, while RJ11W is used for wall mounted telephone sets.
RJ14 provide for bridged connections to the tip and ring conductors of two separate telephone lines. The RJ14C is surface or flush mounted for use with desk telephone sets while the RJ14W is for wall mounted telephone sets. RJ21 was designed with 50 conductors to implement 25 lines at a time. These connectors are used in area networks with multiple switches and devices. RJ25 was introduced for three lines. RJ45 – the RJ designation for RJ45 stands for "registered jack" and indicates that the connection is defined in the international standard for physical network interfaces.
Full Research Report On Registered Jack Market Global Analysis available at:
RJ45 is a standard type of connector for network cables. RJ45 connectors are most commonly seen with Ethernet cables and networks. RJ45 connectors feature eight pins to which the wire strands of a cable interface electrically. These are very common connectors used on LANs. They are slightly wider than the familiar RJ11 registered connectors and carry one data line per connection.
RJ48 – this is a modular jack using an eight-position modular connector for local area networks (LANs), T1 and ISDN termination. Registered Jack Market is classified, by application into telephone (landline) and networking [PoE (Power over Ethernet)].

Monday, May 7, 2018 || By Michael Romain || @maywoodnews
Featured image: Lonnie Bunch during the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. on Sept. 16, 2016. | Pool/Getty Images North America
Lonnie Bunch, the founding director of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C., was in River Forest last week to speak at Dominican University's commencement.
During a roughly 30-minute conversation, he also waded into contemporary waters, addressing everything from #MeToo and Bill Cosby's place in the museum to President Trump and Kanye West's controversial "slavery was a choice" statement. The following responses have been edited for brevity and clarity.
On the origins of the museum
The National Museum of African American History and Culture was basically a startup. I started with a staff of two — me and one other person — in 2005. While it was clearly a small group, one of the great strengths of my career has been that I know scholars and museum people everywhere, so I was able to draw on that to help people figure out what this museum should be.
My most important job was to convince people that this would happen, because the idea for this museum had been floating around since 1913, but nobody was really ready for it. In some ways, it was like a political campaign. I had to figure out the vision, how to build support and relationships.
On the bipartisan coalition that built the museum
On the Hill, I was able to get support from people like Rep. Danny K. Davis and Bobby Rush and some new kid named Obama. It helped to have that, but even more importantly, there were North Side Republicans like John Porter who helped me cross the political divide.
George W. Bush was also important to this. He had not only signed the law authorizing the museum in 2003, but there were people who said, 'Don't build it on the mall.' But Bush said, no, this museum needs to be on the mall. And because he was a Republican, he could convince people. Laura Bush even agreed to serve on my board.
On opening the museum
We broke ground in 2012 and it took four years to build. We opened in September 2016. Obama had asked me to make sure that he got to open the museum, so that was one of my commitments to the president. I remember going into construction meetings and saying, 'I was hanging out with the president and he'd like to have you guys move a little quicker,' so that kind of helped.
That was an amazing day. To have the Chief Justice of the United States there and my person hero, Congressman John Lewis, was unbelievably humbling. You're sitting up there, looking out at this sea of people, thousands of them, and every celebrity wanted to be there — Oprah, Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Powell. You find yourself thinking, 'Oh, my God, what am I doing? How did I do this?' And you realize all of these people are there because the staff worked so hard to open that museum.
On the Chicago area's representation in the museum
Chicago's history is a history that has shaped the nation's political, racial and economic history, so it was clear that Chicago would have a presence in the new museum.
We have a pew from Quinn Chapel [the oldest black church, and longest-held property by African Americans, in Chicago] that gives people a sense of the religious history of Chicago. We've also collected issues of the Chicago Defender to give people a sense of how that newspaper changed the tint and tone of everything in the North. There's also Emmett Till's Casket. There are a lot of things.

On whether or not President Trump has had an effect on the museum's operations
The Trump administration doesn't have any operational effect on the museum. Our budgets have been strong. President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence have visited the museum. As people begin to look at civil rights and race in America, the museum has become a pilgrimage site.
On the impact of #MeToo on the museum's curation
We have material in the museum from the Black Lives Matter movement and #MeToo, and have done programs around many of these issues, including a program on Confederate monuments. The museum recognizes that it has to be as much about today and tomorrow as it is about yesterday, so I also want to wrestle with these questions.
There are some things we do now and some things we'll wait and grapple with down the road, but we want to make sure that we collect material, oral histories and ideas around these stories. Our job is to collect today for tomorrow, as well as collect yesterday for today.
On Bill Cosby's current place in the museum
There was an article in the New York Times that quotes some of the women who accused Cosby. They said that we should have him in the museum and response is pretty simple. I'm a historian of Black America. So much of Black America has been erased. I don't erase history.
So, Cosby is in the museum, but we also made it clear that, at this point, his reputation and legacy has been damaged. We'll also change a label to say that he's been convicted. But I will never erase history — that has really hurt the black community. Anybody who expects us to erase history is just downright wrong.
On Kanye West's statement that '400 years of slavery was a choice'
The most important thing a museum does is educate. What you hope is that people get an understanding of this history and slavery is part of it — without a doubt.
When we did our initial surveys in the beginning, slavery was the number one thing people wanted to know about and the number one thing people didn't want to know about. We hope that everyone who comes into the museum understands that slavery isn't just a black story — it's a story that shaped the country. It's a story about pain and brutally, but also about strength and resilience.

On the national museum's commitment to museums like Maywood's West Town Museum of Cultural History
We knew we couldn't build this museum without standing on the shoulders of many other black museums, so part of this was a chance to be the kind of national museum with resources that may not have always been available to other institutions.
We wanted to do them proud and make sure we told their stories. There's an exhibit in the museum that talks about the history of black museums. We had a program called Saving African American Treasurers, where you come into the community and learn how you preserve grandma's old shawl. People always want to give things to the Smithsonian, but we'd tell them to give those things to their local museums first.
Part of our job is to make sure that we're enhancing and enriching all of the other museums as well. I thin we were successful in getting history back in the news and may have resulted in a bump in visits to museums across the country.
Because we get so many visitors — both actual and online — we try to push people back to local museums, so when we tell stories in Chicago, we'll say, 'Go see how the DuSable does this,' or if we're telling a story about Texas, we'll say, 'How does the Dallas African American Museum explore these questions.' We area always trying to make sure that everybody benefits from our presence. We may not know every institution, but I have a whole unit — 12 people — to collaborate with the museums in the United States and internationally.
Small institutions, like the one in Maywood, would reap the benefit of being involved with something called the Association of African American Museums, which includes large and small museums. They help get them support and money. We always encourage institutions to reach out to that group. VFP

I am 25 years old and I have been a Flight Attendant for the last 2 years which I wouldn't change for anything. I love my job. Recently my employer has announced tattoo restrictions and has suspended me without pay until I get this small tattoo removed. I am in desperate need of getting a small tattoo removed on my finger which I got when I was young and dumb around 17 which I completely regret. Unfortunately with being suspended without pay I have no money to remove the tattoo let alone maintain my bills
I am asking if you or a friend or an organization can please help me reach the money I need to get this removed and so I can return to work. I am the type to not ask for help and have always been independent but I am currently in a big hole and need help getting my career back. I have looked into laser removal but the healing time takes too long. I have spoken to a plastic surgeon whom can cut the tattoo out which will be allot faster so I can return to work. Please share my story and donate to help me. Every little bit counts and I genuinely thank you with every bit in me.

Re: Money to remove a tattoo
I lost my job a few weeks ago, I have no money for my rent, no money for tattoo removal as that was why I was fired from my old job. I also lost my car, it was totaled. I have always been a working mother. I am so scared, between not having money for the rent and nothing for my children for their birthday and no job. I hope you can help me! Sincerely,

Re: Money to remove a tattoo
Sometimes a community action agency may have ideas or referrals. Since a tatoo can impact your ability to get a job, CA often are resources for employment needs. Call a community action agency near you for advice.

In order to master the psychology of trading, a short term trader must work his longer term implication and may be traded with positions lasting a few weeks to a month. Make sure they are confident in answering questions about some strong points about how we let a basically good system go so far astray.

One trait that all New Yorkers share is our perpetual busyness. I recently discovered two guided meditation centers that I recommend you visit to give yourself a 30 minute vacation from life- and stress- and I guarantee you will emerge recharged and ready to tackle the world.
Upper East Side, Greenwich Village, Williamsburg (click Location for schedules)
MNDFL's sessions are led by an in-studio guide who will assist with your meditation experience by coaching you to relax your body and your mind. My teacher's soothing voice, and warm demeanor made the entire experience pleasant and accessible. 35 mins passed by in the blink of an eye. Fun, young crowd. The space itself was Scandinavian chic- white washed brick, and wide-plank bleached wood floors- I wanted to move in…
45 West 21st Street, between 5th and 6th (view class schedule)
The stars of INSCAPE are the spaces themselves. Stunningly designed multi-dimensional, LED lit light-caves with undulating curves and limbs that appear to breathe and pulse as you float in and out of consciousness. You've never seen anything like this- well maybe at Burning Man or a James Turrell site or exhibit. Rather than an in-studio guide, the top notch surround sound audio system pipes in a female Avatar-ish vaguely Australian/South African meditation expert's step by step invitation to plug in and decompress. I felt like Charlize Theron was my own private meditation buddy leading me on a trip into Oz. Fab.
In between client meetings and apartment showings, I've recently discovered how effectively a half-hour pit stop at Inscape or MNDFL can help me be present for clients, friends, and family the rest of the day. And by taking a pause from stress, I've noticed I sleep better at night as well.
Anyone who would like to join me at MNDFL or INSCAPE is welcome to meet me as my guest.
My work as a real estate broker brings me all over town, and I love discovering and exploring our incredible, mysterious city, as much as I love helping clients with real estate decisions on buying and selling homes from themselves, friends or family. If you have any real estate questions, or if anyone you know is considering entering the market- please reach out or share the referral.


text: Many of my clients know this, but I am currently expecting my 3rd child in April. I am still doing sessions, but my time before maternity leave is limited and my sessions are booking up! If you want pictures this spring please book ASAP before this mama can't get around anymore! =) Hoping to be back in full swing by the end of summer!

We all know that sleep can help you with focus and health. But did you know why?
A new study out of Paris says different phases of sleep are instrumental both to helping your brain retain information, but also dispose of it.
The researchers had 28 participants listen to a series of sounds while they were asleep and hooked up to machines that monitored their brain waves.
They looked at the effects of three specific phases of sleep -- rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, light non-REM (NREM) sleep and deep NREM sleep.
When the participants woke up, they were given a series of tests to see how well they recognized the sounds that they had been played.
The researchers found that if they had heard the noises during REM or light NREM sleep, they were more likely to recall what they had heard than if they had been played the sounds during deep NREM sleep. But it was also harder for them to re-learn those sequences than it was to retain new sounds when they were awake.
The researchers explained in their findings that this was an early experiment that could lend itself to a better understanding of how we learn.
"Understanding why both REM sleep and light NREM sleep favor learning while deep NREM sleep suppresses it could provide a unified view of the impact of sleep on memory formation," they wrote in the study.
Ultimately, it seems that if you aren't getting a good night's sleep, you're not allowing your brain to fully process all of the information that you get in a given day.
Do yourself a favor: Get the full eight hours and let your mind decompress.

July 2017
In this issue
Hi Brenda
Welcome to the July issue of my monthly newsletter!
Summer vacation at last! Two months of fun in the sun lie ahead! This month's edition takes a look at the recent interest rate-hike warnings in the media, and a closer look at the housing market.
Thanks again for your continued support and referrals!
Rate Hikes: Still As Much A Matter Of 'If' As 'When'
One month of headlines suggest interest rates are dropping to new lows, another says no changes anytime soon, and recently many headlines seem to be suggesting an increase soon. This stream of mixed messages contradicting one another has been steady since rates dropped to 50-year record lows in 2009.
Many were adamant in 2009, and each year since, that rates could go no lower, and yet they have. Sure there have been a few shortlived blips upward along the way, in defiance of all who are calling for a return to normal... whatever normal may now be.
The key driver of interest rate movement is the economy in general. Not a thin slice of it such as real estate. What drives interest rates down? Economic bad news. What will drive rates up? Economic good news.
Economic good news seems in short supply since 2008.
Interest rates are a very large economic lever, far too large to be used simply to cool the arguably overheated real estate markets of two particular cities. Cooling of real estate is not addressed via interest rate hikes, markets are cooled and have been cooled as of late through lending policy changes.
Many commentators forget that only a few short years ago there existed 40-year amortizations with 100% financing not just for owner-occupied but for investment properties, and variable-rate mortgage qualifications that were much easier than today.
The reality is that borrowers in 2007 – at nearly double the current interest rates – qualified for larger, and arguably riskier, mortgages than borrowers today do.
And always do the math, yes math is no fun, but here is a shortcut:
A 0.25% rate increase equals a $13 per month increase in payments per $100,000 of mortgage balance.
And keep in mind that the majority of Canadians are in fixed rate mortgages, and the majority of them have renewal dates a year or two away. And for those mortgage holders an increase from todays rates of 0.25% - 0.50% would in fact only be equal to their current rate.
A 0.25% increase in the Bank of Canada rate would impact less than 10% of households across Canada, perhaps less than 5% of households. And that impact would be on average ~$39 per month.
Could you handle a $39 increase in your mortgage payment? Odds are you have actually already increased the minimum payment on your own as so many Canadians do. In that case you are already ahead of any increase.
Is the economy truly strong enough for an increase? We shall see come July 12 what the Bank of Canada thinks.
Are the small percentage of variable rate mortgage holders in Canada not already making higher payments ready for a 0.25% increase – overwhelmingly yes, they absolutely are.
The big beneficiaries of these uncertain times or trepidation around even a slight interest rate increase will be those in fixed rates approaching renewal dates over the next 12 months, and those enjoying the ride in their variable rate mortgages.
Be sure to start the renewal conversation with your broker six months out from the mortgage renewal date. Your current lender may suggest that rates are about to move and suggest locking into something early as the right move, but always consult with your independent mortgage broker first to determine if the move being suggested is right for you – or simply just right for the lender.
What is right for you matters to us.
Canadians have options when it comes to housing
By Dr. Sherry Cooper
Despite the variation in real estate markets across Canada, homebuyers face the same fundamental question whether they are first time buyers in Toronto, families purchasing a fixer-upper in Atlantic Canada, or down-sizing boomers in the West, says Dominion Lending Centres chief economist Sherry Cooper: What are you willing to do to achieve your goal.
"For the first-time homebuyer, it's a trade-off between living close to your workplace and having to pay more for your home versus living farther away and facing a meaningful commute to get more for your money," she says.
Baby boomers with their retirement nest egg tied up in their single-family homes, face very similar circumstances. For boomers, staying in the city usually means downsizing to a condo, which is more expensive per square foot and can take a serious bite out of that nest egg.
Moving out of the city often means giving up family, friendship, and services.
In between, there's the move-up market – people with growing families who are looking for their second home. They have equity, so they can afford a larger down payment and typically, they are close to their peak earning years. The challenge they face, particularly in regions where the market is strong, is a shortage of suitable homes. Investors and developers are frequently bidding for the same properties. People thinking of moving up may want to consider another option: Buying a larger condo in the suburbs or in smaller communities. There is a demand for more choice in this market segment, she says, that has led to developers start building two and three-bedroom units in the suburbs thatinclude amenities like indoor and outdoor play areas.
The lifestyle issues, Cooper says, are best solved by family discussion. First, sit down and talk. Then, talk to a mortgage broker, a real estate agent and possibly an accountant.
"For a first-time home-buyer in particular, you really do need to know how much you can afford. It may be less than what you can borrow. You don't want to go right to the edge because there's just too much risk," she says. "You want to have enough of a cushion that you could take care of an emergency, or in the event of one of you losing a job. You have to have some precautionary savings."
For all demographic groups Cooper advises locking into a fixed-rate mortgage. "I would go for a five-year fixed if I were buying right now. Because rates are low and the chances are that in the future, they will be higher."
Mortgages are complex, and she cautions against simply taking the best deal a bank has to offer. For example, the first-time buyer may want the option of paying down the principal more quickly.
"That's the whole story of why mortgage brokers make so much sense, because they can shop the loan for you and can find something that is much more customized to what your personal needs are."
For first-time buyers and boomers, renting is also an option that shouldn't be ignored, she says. Boomers can then get the full amount of equity from their home while first-time buyers can continue to save for their down payment. Similarly, those in the move-up market may want to consider using the equity in their home to finance a home renovation rather than buying a new residence.
Summer 'To-Do' List:
We truly struggle with assigning you a to-do list for the month of July, but here goes:
Do – enjoy the sunshine.
Do – walk barefoot and wiggle your toes in the grass.
Do – enjoy long summer evenings on a patio, deck, or dock.
Do – take a road trip with friends or family.
Do – make the most of each day.
About Dominion Lending Centres & DLC Leasing
There are two types of debt: secured and unsecured. When you borrow money to buy a house, the bank can take back the house to recoup their money if you don't pay the debt. That means the debt is secured – it's being balanced against something that you want to keep, and gives the bank some measure of security that it's going to be able to recover the money it's loaned you. Unsecured debt, on the other hand, means the bank can't reclaim the thing you're buying with the borrowed money. (Credit card debt is unsecured, and so are student loans.)

I recently went on a shopping spree of skincare products, and of course with trying new products, I found some I love and some, not so much.
That inspired me to write this post, about some of those new products, and some of my old favourites that I tried to find a better replacement for, but couldn't.
Let's start Simple.
One of the products I brought the other day was the Simple Invigorating Shower Gel, and I already think it's brilliant. Usually I go for the shower gels that smell super fruity, but that don't really do anything for my skin.
This one has a subtle minty scent that's so refreshing! Plus, after only using it a few times, my skin has started to feel softer already. Simple is one of the only brands I can use every product from without it causing problems, as my skin is so sensitive. And, it's so cheap! I got this shower gel for £1, so if it's not for you, at least it's not a huge loss.
Loco for Cocoa.
After getting my last tattoo, the artist recommended using a cocoa butter moisturiser to help it heal. I decided to go with Palmer's and I've used it every day since! I particularly love how nice and soft my arms now look. I've never had overly dry skin, but you can never be too smooth.
I've recently been trying out the Cocoa Radiant Lotion from Vaseline. If I had to pick a favourite, I can't say I can. There wasn't any issues with it, in fact it feels lovely and smells divine. But I have another bottle of Palmers ready to go, so I'm going to use that first.
When I was in Lanzarote ( one | two ), I bought an aloe vera set of bath salts and soap.
I'm most definitely a shower person, but when I do have a rare bath, I've been pouring in the salts to soak. The water goes a bright green, which makes me love them even more. It feels like I'm bathing in my own enchanted little swamp.
But anyway, I thought it was about time I tried out the soap. It lathers up quickly and smells lovely. I haven't used it enough yet to make up my mind whether I'll use it again. Well, I mean, use a similar product. Even if it's the best thing I've ever used, I don't think I'll be hopping on a flight to the Canary Islands just for a bar of soap.
A Magical mask?
Oh my god. I'm not usually one for face masks, but this one has changed my life. No, that wasn't an exaggeration. Okay maybe a little, but I haven't stopped touching my face since I first used it. My cheeks are so bloody soft.
It's the Freeman Charcoal and Black Sugar mask. You have to apply the mask to a damp face, leave for 5 minutes, then use warm water to exfoliate. It says you will get instant results, and it's true. After the first time I used it, my face felt magically smooth. Honestly, I didn't think it was possible to be that soft. I've only used it twice so far but it makes me feel so much fresher, and there's nothing better than that.
Moisturising my face is a very important part of my morning routine.
My go to is the Vital Vitamin Day Cream by Simple, but I thought I'd give Nivea a try. I use the Nivea intensive repair hand cream, and it works miracles! So surely the facial moisturiser would be the same?
Yes, it's perfect for repairing dry skin! But it feels very thick and greasy on my face which I'm not a fan of. Because of that, now I just pop it on any patches of dry skin that appear to fix those right away. The rest of my face is getting the Simple treatment once again.
So there! That was my experience with trying out some different skincare products.
Have any of you tried one of these products? Let me know what you thought of them, if you did!

Global equity markets are likely to remain firmly gripped by geopolitical risk, as escalating tensions over the conflict in Syria weigh heavily on sentiment.
Geopolitical jitters have already punished Asian markets this morning, with Asia Pacific equities under pressure, following a weak lead from Wall Street overnight. In Europe stocks opened on a shaky note amid the growing caution among investors. With hawkish statements from the Federal Reserve and heightened political uncertainty around the US and Russia standoff leaving investors on edge, Wall Street could extend its losses this afternoon. Global equity bears are likely to remain in the vicinity as the terrible combination of geopolitical tensions and overall market anxiety sour appetite for riskier assets.
Dollar supported by Fed hawks
The Dollar held steady against a basket of major currencies on Thursday morning, after minutes from the Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting were presented with a hawkish bias.
Market expectations over higher US interest rates this year have received a boost after the FOMC minutes revealed that all policy makers felt that the US economy would strengthen. With policy makers expecting inflation to rise in the coming months, the Federal Reserve may be forced to adopt a slightly more aggressive approach on rate hikes. A strong majority of policymakers viewed the prospects of a potential global trade war as a downside risk for the US economy. These concerns are likely to increase the Dollar's sensitivity to the US-China trade developments moving forward. All in all, the minutes were pretty hawkish and reflected a strong sense of optimism among policymakers. After the FOMC minutes, the probability of a Fed rate hike in June jumped to 90%, according to CME's FedWatch Tool.
While the Dollar could benefit from mounting expectations of higher US interest rates, lingering trade war fears and geopolitical tensions could spell trouble for the currency. From a technical standpoint, the Dollar Index remains at risk of trading lower if bulls are unable to secure control above 89.50. Sustained weakness below 89.50 could result in a decline towards 89.00.
Commodity spotlight – Gold
Gold was under pressure on Thursday morning, after hawkish minutes from the Fed's latest policy meeting boosted expectations over a faster pace of US interest rate hikes this year.
Although the yellow metal may find itself exposed to downside risks in a high interest rate environment, losses could be limited by risk aversion. With geopolitical risk, US-Russia political uncertainty and lingering trade war fears still weighing on sentiment, Gold, which is often popular in times of financial uncertainty, is likely to remain supported. Taking a look at the technical picture, the yellow metal has retreated from an 11-week high, with prices trading around $1348 as of writing. Previous resistance around $1340 could transform into a dynamic support that can encourage an appreciation back towards $1360. A failure for bulls to maintain control above $1340 could result in prices sinking towards $1324.

Editor's note: The author of this article calls into question the integrity of BDO Limited's audits, and its adherence to PCAOB standards. We received a reply to the author's assertions from BDO Limited's CEO, which can be found following the article.
In this article, I'm going to discuss why BDO Limited, the Hong Kong branch of the BDO International network of auditors, should not be considered a top tier auditor, and is not comparable with the separate U.S.-based BDO Seidman. Not all BDO member firms are the same.
A glaring red flag among some Chinese RTO ("reverse takeover") smallcaps is their poor choices for auditors – many firms have hired unheard-of firms to act as their public auditor. In my articles on China Marine Food, I have questioned the quality of the company's audit firm, ZYCPA, and wondered why a $70m revenue business would hire an auditor that has only 2 partners and 25 personnel; audits no other exchange-listed public U.S. company; and has its main partner being sued for a HKD$125m fraud involving a European investor.
Some RTO Chinese companies have tried to avoid controversy by hiring BDO Limited as their auditor. Investors see "BDO" in the audit firm's name, and assume that all BDO's abide by the same strict audit standards as BDO Seidman, the U.S.-based and most well-known BDO member firm. That's not true.
I'm going to provide several data points that provide evidence that investors should be cautious around companies audited by BDO Limited:
- BDO Limited was the auditor of China Expert Technology, an infamous Chinese fraud that blew up in 2007
- BDO Limited is not inspected by the PCAOB
- The SAIC and SEC financial statements match for a BDO Seidman-audited chinese company, Tongxin International, but do not match for two BDO Limited-audited firms, Orient Paper and China-Biotics, Inc.
The BDO International Network
BDO International is a sprawling international network of audit firms that has more than 1,000 offices in more than 100 countries. Like many international auditors, the firm is comprised of individual member firms. The main member firm in the United States is BDO Seidman LLP. The main member firm in Hong Kong is BDO Limited. While both carry the BDO affiliation, they are completely separate audit firms.
BDO Limited was the auditor of China Expert Technology
One of the most illustrious frauds in the U.S.-listed Chinese RTO smallcap space is China Expert Technology (OTC:CXTI). CXTI claimed to provide information technology network and infrastructure consulting services to governments and corporations. It had stunning financials – from 2003 to 2006, its revenue allegedly grew from $6m to $66m, and its net income grew from $1m to $8m, with smooth revenue and earnings growth in each year.
Then one day, it stopped filings it financial statements. Its CFO quit and its CEO disappeared. Its stock dropped from $7 to 50 cents in two months. The company vanished. The widespread consensus is that the company was a hoax, and that the financial statements were fabricated. Its story has been documented in several places, such as here and here.
China Expert Technology's auditor was none other than BDO Limited. Technically, it was BDO McCabe Lo Limited at the time, but the two firms are the same - BDO McCabe Lo Limited changed its name to BDO Limited when it merged with Shu Lun Pan Horwath Hong Kong CPA Limited in May 2009.
The implication for investors currently holding shares in companies audited by BDO Limited is troubling. If BDO Limited could not detect fraud at a company that appeared to be entirely fabricated, can we rely on it to detect fraud at Orient Paper, a company that at least has some production lines and some semblance of operations? I believe that Orient Paper is falsifying its financial statements, and that the actual underlying company is materially smaller than its SEC financial statements indicate. In contrast, CXTI appeared to be entirely a hoax – essentially, it appears to have been 100% fraudulent whereas ONP may only be 80% fraudulent.
BDO Limited is not inspected by the PCAOB
The PCAOB is the accounting industry's self regulatory organization – it is comprised of accountants from different PCAOB member firms that do annual inspection audits on other PCAOB member firms. It's referred to as "the auditor of the auditors" because it double-checks selected audits and provides reports on its findings.
BDO Seidman allows the PCAOB to inspect its books, and its 2009 inspection report is included here.
BDO Limited does not allow the PCAOB to inspect its books, because it is Hong Kong-based whereas the PCAOB is U.S.-based.
Granted, just because BDO Limited is not audited by the PCAOB doesn't mean that its audit standards are subpar. But when comparing BDO Seidman and BDO Limited, I would be more comfortable with BDO Seidman-audited financial statements because the firm is inspected annually by the PCAOB.
Comparison of SAIC and SEC financial statements for companies audited by BDO Limited vs BDO Seidman
Over the past few months, I and other investors have compared Chinese companies' SEC filings with the local financial statements that the companies' main operating subsidiaries must file with the Chinese government. My articles/posts are here, here, here and here. "Waldomushman" has compared CSKI's and SOLF's SEC and SAIC financial statements on his website. Muddywatersresearch.com has done the same for ONP, though it has not yet released its copies of the SAIC financial statements.
In total, comparisons of SEC and SAIC filings have been posted for OTCPK:CSKI, OTC:CMFO, LIWA, ONP, OTC:YUII, OTCPK:FUQI, and SOLF. For OTCPK:CSKI, OTC:CMFO, LIWA and ONP, the numbers don't match and there is additional evidence that the companies are falsifying their SEC financial statements. For OTC:YUII, OTCPK:FUQI and SOLF, the numbers do match (or, more accurately, are in the same ballpark).
In the following, I compare SEC and SAIC financial statements for a BDO Seidman-audited company, Tongxin International, and show how the SEC and SAIC financials match. Then I compare the SEC and SAIC financial statements for a BDO Limited-audited firm, China-Biotics Inc., and show how they don't match. As Muddy Waters has explained, the ONP numbers don't match either (ONP disputes whether Muddy Waters has the correct subsidiary, but I believe that Muddy Waters has the correct subsidiary based on their July 2 2010 response to ONP).
First, let's look at BDO Seidman-audited Tongxin International (OTCPK:TXIC). TXIC is a Chinese auto parts company that was purchased by a SPAC in 2008. Its SAIC financial statements are here:
- Click here for TXIC's SAIC Financial Statements in Chinese.
- Click here for TXIC's SAIC Financial Statements in English.
Here is a comparison of the SAIC and SEC financial statements for TXIC:
As we can see, the numbers match, for the most part.
Next, let's look at BDO Limited-audited China-Biotics, Inc. (OTC:CHBT):
- Click here for CHBT's SAIC Financial Statements in Chinese.
- Click here for CHBT's SAIC Financial Statements in English.
- Also, here is CHBT's full 2008 SAIC annual inspection report in Chinese.
Here is a comparison of the SAIC and SEC financial statements for CHBT:
CHBT's numbers do not match - the SAIC financial statements show a far smaller business than the SEC financials indicate.
In terms of Orient Paper, as Muddywaters has discussed, ONP's historical SEC and SAIC financials also do not match.
Therefore, our BDO Seidman-audited company has matching financial statements, whereas two BDO Limited-audited companies do not have matching financial statements. This provides evidence for our thesis that investors should remain cautious around firms audited by BDO Limited. BDO Limited is a different firm than BDO Seidman and there is evidence that BDO Limited does not subscribe to the same audit standards as BDO Seidman.
Given its history with China Expert Technology, BDO Limited has demonstrated that it has not been able to prevent frauds in the past. Given that ONP and CHBT do not have matching SEC and SAIC financial statements, and that there are numerous other signs that ONP is falsifying its SEC financial statements, there is evidence that BDO Limited is also not preventing frauds in the present.
Disclosure: Author is short OTC:CMFO and ONP and long OTCPK:TXIC
Reply from Albert Au, Chairman & CEO, BDO Limited:
BDO Limited, a Hong Kong limited company, is a member of BDO International Limited, and forms part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. As a member firm, BDO Limited abides by the network's strictest and most rigorous standards.
BDO Limited is registered with the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and cooperates and complies with the rules and standards of that body to the fullest extent possible. The only exception is where there is a contradiction with the laws of Hong Kong and the People's Republic of China, jurisdictions in which we and some of our clients operate. Such restrictions of course apply to all firms operating in these jurisdictions.
However all BDO limited's audits of the financial statements of our SEC registrant clients are conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Contrary to the statement made in the article, the PCAOB is a private-sector, nonprofit corporation created as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to oversee the auditors of public companies. The Act required that auditors of U.S. public companies be subject to external and independent oversight, and removed self-regulation from the profession. The members of the PCAOB Board, including the Chairman, are appointed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), after consultation with the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Secretary of the Treasury. The SEC has oversight authority over the PCAOB.

Join us for the 60th Annual Dory Days; a celebration of the local dory fishing culture unique to Pacific City. This festival is hosted by the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Pacific City Dorymen's Association.
Festivities kick off with the Dory Days Parade that is scheduled to begin at 11 am. The parade starts at Bob Straub State Park and works it's way into downtown Pacific City. Other events throughout the weekend includes live music, kids activities, fish fry and more. The Dorymen's Association will operate a booth to answer questions from the public and a display of dory boats in the Cape parking.
Dory Days has been recognized by the Oregon Heritage Commission as an Oregon Heritage Tradition and joins only a handful of other events for this honor.
