Resources- WGS
Whole genome sequencing (also known as WGS, full genome sequencing, complete genome sequencing, or entire genome sequencing) is a laboratory process that determines the complete DNA sequence of an organism's genome at a single time. This entails sequencing all of an organism's chromosomal DNA as well as DNA contained in the mitochondria and, for plants, in the chloroplast.
Introduction to Whole
Genome Sequencing (WGS)
Whole genome
sequencing (WGS) reveals the complete DNA make-up of an organism, enabling laboratory
scientists and epidemiologists to better understand variations both within and
between species. Understanding these variations allows differentiation between
organisms with a precision that other technologies do not allow. Government agencies at all levels are in the
process of integrating WGS to take advantage of the improved precision. Examples include:
Compare pathogens
isolated from food or environmental samples with clinical isolates from
patients. If the pathogens found in the food or food production environment
match the pathogens from the sick patients, a reliable link between the two can
be made, which helps define the scope of a foodborne illness outbreak. WGS
performs the same function as Pulse Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) but has
the power to differentiate virtually all strains of foodborne pathogens, no
matter what the species. Its ability to differentiate between even closely
related organisms allows outbreaks to be detected with fewer clinical cases and
provides the opportunity to stop outbreaks sooner and avoid additional illnesses.
Pair genomic
information of foodborne pathogens with their geographic location and apply the
principles of evolutionary biology to determine the relatedness of the
pathogens. Knowing the geographic areas that pathogens are typically associated
with can be a powerful tool in tracking down the root source of contamination
for a food product, especially multi-ingredient food products whose ingredients
come from different states or countries. The faster public health officials can
identify the source of contamination, the faster the harmful ingredient can be
removed from the food supply and the more illnesses and deaths that can be
FDA is spearheading an international effort to
build a network of laboratories that can sequence the genomes of foodborne
pathogens and then upload the genomic sequence of the pathogen and the
geographic location from which the pathogen was gathered into a publicly
accessible database. As the size of the database grows, so will its strength as
a tool to help focus and speed investigations into the root cause of illnesses. GenomeTrakr is a growing distributed network
of labs with the capability to utilize WGS for pathogen identification.

Often we find it easier to think our way around things rather than to feel our way through them ~ Mark Nepo
I've been experiencing some frustration with words lately. They do not seem adequate. They don't fit the depth of emotion that is stirring inside. And, they seem to be easily misinterpreted.
Where are our hearts to temper these flares?
In the last several years of my journey, I've worked to awaken my heart and cautiously unshackle the armor I spent most of my life laboriously fashioning around it.
All of that effort was an attempt to keep it safe from pain…to protect it from carelessness – my own recklessness and the nonchalant stabs from others.
Unfortunately, what I have uncovered doesn't resemble what I remember it looking like. This heart was once full of hope, joy, happiness, optimism, spontaneity, unashamed and bold thinking.
It is so small…so frail and fragile now. I am not sure it can survive without the steel protection.
The temptation is to continue to overfunction with my brain. Intellectualize life – all of it…you know, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I can easily do that. I've been doing it and am pretty accomplished in that arena.
But, those rationalizations aren't as satisfying as they once were. There isn't relief and peace in those justifications. There are pieces missing. Pieces of me I have abandoned in an attempt to conform with the perceived rules of this life.
This shriveled and scarred heart has been silenced for so long. Yes, she has occasionally been heard, given hope – only to find the shackles of silence are slapped back on with great fear. Fear that someone heard the weakness, the pain, perhaps even afraid the giggles and lightheartedness would be misunderstood and unintentionally wound another's tender heart.
There are an abundance of deep wounds of so many, it is almost paralyzing to think about navigating your way through them. We can't easily see one another's brokenness and emotional fractures because we are smart.
We are smart enough, creative enough and brave enough to camouflage those cracks – we pour quick-setting cement into the emotional sink holes instead of seeking the core problem; we conceal the bruises with a pretty smile, charming hello and an insatiable need to care for others.
We have learned, and accepted, to think and strategize our way through life rather than to feel and experience it. It is safer, cleaner, quicker
It is also hollow. It is isolating and disconnected. It can feel so empty.
I know it isn't too late to resuscitate my heart. But it is risky. I want to be gentle in nursing it back to its full capacity – I don't want to use a defibrillator to shock it into beating. I want to be delicate and tender with this precious gift.
It is a process. A journey that will not be traveled without injuries, set backs, and obstacles. But seeking to live in alignment with the heart the Divine gifted to me and listening to its wisdom, its mercy, kindenss and even its humor, is where I will experience freedom.
Freedom from the words that seem inadequate. Freedom from needing an answer. Freedom from having to be right. Freedom from the urge to prove something. Freedom from having to be better.
Freedom to be me. Freedom to be exactly who the Divine intended me to be.
I Believe. I Create. I Live.

Causes of Loose Stool and Distended Stomachs in Children
A distended stomach, commonly referred to as bloating, is often caused by gas. Though the condition is uncomfortable, it normally goes away within a few hours. Children frequently develop a loose stool and diarrhea along with bloating when they overeat, suffer from minor illnesses, or have food sensitivities. In most cases, the bloating and diarrhea are not caused by serious underlying conditions. However, if a child repeatedly develops these symptoms or if the symptoms don't go away on their own, she may have a serious illness. Consult a doctor for more information.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Food Sensitivities
Pediatrician Dr. William Sears, M.D 1. explains that food allergies typically provoke an immediate reaction and don't typically cause stomach problems. Food sensitivities, however, cause stomach problems several hours or days after a child eats the offending food. The gastrointestinal irritation might cause bloating or gas, leading to a distended stomach. If your child frequently develops symptoms, begin keeping a food log. Carefully monitor what your child eats and whether and when she gets sick. Some babies are lactose or soy intolerant, so baby formula may be the culprit. Ask your pediatrician about a formula that won't upset your child's stomach. If you are breastfeeding, something you ate and then passed along in your breast milk may have caused symptoms.
When a child eats more than his stomach can comfortably hold, his abdomen might grow distended and he may develop diarrhea as his body attempts to eliminate the excess food. Encourage your child to eat slowly so he has a chance to feel full. Don't serve sugary snacks and sweetened juices and sodas.
Dietary Problems
Sears explains that sugary and processed foods can have serious negative effects on a child's digestive system. Children who eat lots of sweets and processed foods may develop diarrhea, gas, bloating and nausea. Encourage your child to eat fruit, vegetables and nuts as a snack and give her water instead of soda or juice.
Minor Illnesses
Stomach viruses frequently cause diarrhea and bloating, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics 2. Children's stomach lining may be irritated by a virus or bacteria, resulting in swelling. Give your child lots of water to keep her hydrated and call your pediatrician. Occasionally, the common cold, sinus infections and other ailments cause stomach problems as the infection moves to the stomach.
Serious Illnesses
Rarely, serious diseases such as gallstones, pancreatitis, appendicitis and liver disease cause the stomach to swell. Children may also develop diarrhea. If your child has severe pain around her belly button that then moves to her lower right side, she may have appendicitis, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine 4. If a distended stomach and diarrhea last more than a day, ask your pediatrician to examine your child and test her for serious illnesses.

- Right-Tail Hedging: Managing Risk When Markets Melt Up
- Everybody's Doing It: Short Volatility Strategies and Shadow Financial Insurers
"By the Numbers: 10 Things My Hobbies Have Taught Me About Investing"Journal of Investment Management, Volume 14, No. 1, First Quarter 2016.
This paper was based on a conference presentation at the Journal of Investment Management in 2014. I have long had the view that what we do for the love of the activity (i.e. hobbies), has a strong relevance to our professional lives, especially for investors. It allows us to think outside of the box and in both visualizing and solving problems with approaches that pay attention to the most important elements. I use my experience from ultra-running, flying, programming, physics and screenwriting to draw upon some lessons relevant for investing.
"Behavioral Perspectives on Tail Risk Hedging"The Journal of Investing, Vol. 24, Issue. : pp122-133, 2015.
Why do people hedge? Who do others sell the same hedges? It is impossible to address these questions convincingly without paying careful attention to behavior. In this paper we address four aspects of tail hedging. First, having tail hedges makes people feel better, and it is hard to come up with a perfect model that can predict behavior. Thus it is hard to say with absolute certainty and objectively when such hedges are cheap or expensive. Second, it is possible to build models using a behavioral framework that can quantitatively justify the option skew in index options markets. Third, within a behavioral context it is possible for both hedgers and non-hedgers to co-exist without either one being irrational. Finally, tail hedging allows us to overcome time inconsistency in investment decision making, hence serves an important purpose in constructing robust and consistent portfolios.
"Tail Risk Hedging for Retirement Investments"Journal of Retirement, Vol. 2, Number 3, Winter 2015.
Retirees are faced with the real world problem that they cannot repeat their experience multiple times and then choose one path. For different age cohorts, the risk of drawdown or loss determines how much risk they can take, and how they react to sharp drawdowns in the markets. In this paper we create a framework for the optimal amount cost for hedging tail risk that a retiree should be willing to bear either implicitly or explicitly.
"Trend and Carry in Lots of Places"Journal of Portfolio Management, Summer 2015.
We know the two key maxims of investing: don't fight the market (i.e. be on the right side of the trend) and don't pay too much to invest (i.e. control the negative carry in each investment). We find through empirical analysis that these two simple elements indeed bear out the test of time. Following a simple trend following strategy while minimizing or eliminating negative carry indeed is simple yet efficient way to deliver consistent performance relative to other alternatives. This simple approach seems to hold up regardless of eras and market environments.
Invited Editorial Comment: "The Four Modes of Practical Risk Management"The Journal of Portfolio Management, Winter 2013, Vol. 39, No. 2, pp3-4.
Risk Management is a multi-faceted enterprise. Using the four levers of risk management: dynamic rebalancing, alternative risk factors, explicit tail hedging, and efficient management of liquidity are all important when thinking of the right mix of strategies for risk management. The best mix is found by optimizing the costs vs. benefits of these four levers, which are dynamic and ever changing.
"Asset Allocation and Risk Management in a Bimodal World"CFA Institute Conference Proceedings Quarterly, March 2013, pp67-78.
Market return distributions in the modern era have looked more like a "two-humped" camel's back than a "one-humped" camel. If we believe that this bimodality is likely to persist then many of our notions of how to construct portfolios and manage risks come under scrutiny. For example, the allocation to risky assets is decreased, exposure to momentum assets is increased, and the purchase of fat tails on both the left and right side becomes more attractive.
"Active Risk Parity"The Journal of Investing Fall 2012, Vol. 21, No. 3, pp88-92.
Risk Parity falls into the class of systematic investment strategies that start from the basic premise that it is easier and more practical to start from risk control as an objective rather than forecasting returns. This is a solid approach towards portfolio construction, but can be improved with active management. Paying attention to risk factor concentrations, the levels and expected returns of various markets, and to the possibility of a breakdown in historical correlations under stress are all relevant towards creating a superior version of passive risk parity.
"The Risk in Risk Parity"The Journal of Investing Fall 2012, Vol. 21, No. 3, pp 102-110. (With J. Davis, G. Rennison, J. Hsu and F. Li)
By using a risk factor approach, we can peek at the hidden risks of risk parity strategies. We find that with a very simple two-factor model of equities and duration risk, we can efficiently understand where risk parity returns come from, and how to mitigate and control such risks more efficiently.
"Fat-Tails and Stop Losses in Portable Alpha"Journal of Investment Management, 2011. (With M.B. Wise)
Portable alpha strategies take the alpha or non-systematic source of returns from one strategy, and apply to another underlying source of beta. We discuss how to control risk when this strategy comes under stress by deriving formulas and results for the optimal "stop-loss" rule.
- "Beyond Risk Parity"The Journal of Investing Spring 2011, Vol. 20, No. 1, pp137-147.
"Offensive Risk Management II: The Case for Active Tail Hedging"Fall 2010, Vol. 37, No. 1, pp78-91. (With J. Davis)
While most investors think of Tail Risk Hedging as a net cost to portfolio returns, our analysis shows that active Tail Risk Hedging is not only risk reducing but also return enhancing. How can this be? First, Tail Risk Hedging allows, for a small premium, to stay in attractive risk positions; second, by monetizing and actively managing a portfolio of hedges, investors can potentially systematize their portfolio rebalancing, which allows them to stick to their plan of investing when risk assets have cheapened.
"Build America Bonds"The Journal of Fixed Income, Summer 2010, Vol. 20, No. 1, pp67-73 (With A. Ang and Y. Xing).
The short lived but attractive life of taxable municipal bonds known as BABs showed an interesting dynamic in the transfer of investment value from one class of investors to another class of investors. BABs also provided an important laboratory for the analysis of various risk factors that drive municipal bonds. The BAB program succeeded in lowering the cost of funding for state and local governments with BAB issuers obtaining finance 54 basis points lower, on average, compared to issuing regular municipal bonds. For institutional investors, BAB issue yields were 116 basis points higher than comparable Treasuries and 88 basis points higher than comparable highly rated corporate bonds. For individual investors, BABs had lower yields than regular municipal bonds. Thus, on average the Federal government subsidy disadvantaged individual U.S. taxpayers, who were the main holders of municipal bonds, and benefited new entrants in the municipal bond market.
"The Ps of Pricing and Risk Management, Revisited"The Journal of Portfolio Management, Winter 2010, Vol. 36, No. 2, pp 106-112.
How Do Policy Makers Impact Markets? Traditional pricing and risk management principles have to be reconsidered in the light of the involvement of large public and private participants in the securities markets. We explore the impact of the actions of participants on the building blocks of asset pricing models as well as the emergence of the impact of the policy factor on asset pricing and risk measurement. This discussion re-emphasizes the need for simple principles for asset selection and portfolio construction.
"Asymmetric Monetary Policy and the Yield Curve"Journal of International Money and Finance, Vol. 28, No. 8, 2009, pp1408-1425. (With M. Dorsten and M.B. Wise)
The "risk-management paradigm of monetary policy" that has been followed by the recent Fed and many other global Central Banks can be modeled by adding an option like term to the Taylor rule as a guide by the Fed in setting policy rates. Since the evolution of short rates is what determines longer term rates and the whole yield curve, we can run simulations to show how different assumptions for the risk management term influences the shape of the yield curve.
"Modeling Swap Spreads in Normal and Stressed Markets?"The Journal of Fixed Income, Spring 2009, Vol. 18, No. 4, pp5-23. (With M.B. Wise)
How should we model swap spreads when markets change their behavior? By combining a simple two factor, analytically solvable model for the risk-free government yield curve with a hazard model for swaps, we can derive closed form solutions for the behavior of swap spreads in both quiet and stressed markets.
"Market Crises – Can the Physics of Phase Transitions and Symmetry Breaking Tell Us Anything Useful?"Journal of Investment Management, 2009.
In physics, even when one or more critical parameters change slowly, macroscopic systems can undergo sharp changes (e.g. conversion of water to vapor as temperature or pressure rises). This process of phase transitions has close analogies in financial markets, with factors such as liquidity and leverage driving sharp changes and critical market events.
"How Valuable are the TALF Puts?"The Journal of Fixed Income, Fall 2009, Vol. 19, No.2, pp71-75. (With M.B. Wise)
Under the TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility) program that was introduced during the financial crisis, an investor had the ability to borrow via term loans against eligible TALF assets as collateral. Due to the non-recourse feature of these loans, the borrower in effect possessed a put option for each individual asset in the portfolio, with the maximum amount at risk to the borrower equal to the haircut. We estimate the value of the put under rough but reasonable assumptions, and also show that the portfolio of puts may be significantly more valuable than a hypothetical put on the whole portfolio.
"Systemic Credit Risk: What is the Market Telling Us?"Financial Analysts Journal, Vol. 64, No. 4, 2008. (With R. Gingrich and F. Longstaff)
By utilizing a three factor model calibrated to the prices of index credit default swaps and tranches, we can extract some very interesting macroscopic and microscopic features of financial markets. We find that the three factor model carries a very powerful and significant amount of information on how systemic risk is priced in the credit markets.
"Tail Risk Management"The Journal of Portfolio Management, Summer 2008, Vol. 34, No. 4, pp68-75.
What is Tail Risk Management and how is it important for portfolio managers and risk control? This paper lays out a framework for thinking about the necessity and implementation details of tail risk hedging.
"Taxes on Tax-Exempt Bonds"Journal of Finance, Vol. 65, No. 2, pp565-601, 2008. (With A. Ang and Y. Xing)
Are tax-exempt municipal bonds completely tax free? Due to certain taxation rules that are not widely understood by the public, we have to be careful about making this assumption when municipal bonds are close to their "de minimis" threshold, which, amongst other things, depends on the maturity of the bond, the time left to maturity, the issuance coupon and current yields. Close to this threshold, municipal bond taxation characteristics can change significantly, and create possible investment value.
"Putting Economics (Back) into Quantitative Models"The Journal of Portfolio Management, Spring 2007, Vol. 33, No.3, pp63-76. Also presented at Q-Group Summer Conference.
Has financial modeling and investment practice moved so far that it has lost touch with the fundamentals? In this paper we look at rigorous financial models and build a framework to incorporate economic insights into the models.
"Volatility and the Carry Trade"The Journal of Fixed Income, Winter 2007, Vol. 17, No. 3, pp72-84.
Are the carry trade, where one borrows in a low yielding currency and invests in a higher yielding currency, and the level of volatility in the currency markets related? Certainly it seems so, since carry trades do well when volatility is low and not so well when volatility is high. We discuss an analytical foundation on why this should be so, by drawing a connection between the forward exchange rate that depends on interest rate differentials and the level of implied volatility, which can be locally used to hedge the risk of the forward position. This approach yields insights on when the carry trade is attractive relative to the level of currency volatility.
"Implication of Correlated Defaults for Portfolio Allocation to Corporate Bonds"Journal of Investment Management, Vol. 3, No. 1, 2005. (With M.B. Wise)
This article deals with the problem of optimal allocation of capital to corporate bonds in fixed income portfolios when there is the possibility of correlated defaults. Using a multivariate normal Copula function for the joint default probabilities we show that retaining the first few moments of the portfolio default loss distribution gives an extremely good approximation to the full solution of the asset allocation problem. We provide detailed results on the convergence of the moment expansion and explore how the optimal portfolio allocation depends on recovery fractions, level of diversification and investment time horizon. Numerous numerical illustrations exhibit the results for simple portfolios and utility functions.
"Corporate Bond Risk from Stock Dividend Uncertainty"International Journal of Theoretical and Applied Finance, Vol. 6, No. 7, p741, 2004. (With M.B. Wise)
How does the default probability of a corporate bond change as the underlying company changes its dividend payout policy? In this article we use the Merton model to explore this problem to come up with a dividend spread risk measure for corporate bonds.
"Diversification and Generalized Tracking Errors for Correlated Non-Normal Returns"Quantitative Finance, Vol. 2, No. 6, pp482-486, 2002. (With M.B. Wise)
The probability distribution for the relative return of a portfolio constructed from a subset n of the assets from a benchmark, consisting of N assets whose returns are multivariate normal, is completely characterized by its tracking error. However, if the benchmark asset returns are not multivariate normal then higher moments of the probability distribution for the portfolio's relative return are not related to its tracking error. We discuss the convergence of generalized tracking error measures as the size of the subset of benchmark assets increases.
"Portfolio Allocation to Corporate Bonds with Correlated Defaults"Journal of Risk, Vol. 5, No. 1, 2002. (With M.B. Wise)
This article deals with the problem of optimal allocation of capital to corporate bonds in fixed income portfolios when there is the possibility of correlated defaults. Under fairly general assumptions for the distribution of the total net assets of a set of firms we show that retaining the first few moments of the portfolio default loss distribution gives an extremely good approximation to the full solution of the asset allocation problem.
"Forecasting Portfolio Risk in Normal and Stressed Markets"Journal of Risk, Vol. 4, No. 1, 2001. (With M.B. Wise)
When market crises happen, correlations rise in absolute value, and drastically change the risks of portfolios. We discuss a systematic methodology to forecast portfolio risk when correlations are shocked to extreme values. We achieve this by giving the forecaster control over the level of confidence in forecasting such correlations, and then taking the correlation matrix to its logical extreme value without destroying mathematical consistency.

Building on Success
After this show, and all subsequent shows, lessons were learned and the committees made changes to put right any aspects of the organisation which needed adjustment to ensure the smooth running of the Society. Periodically this has included raising the seat prices to cover production costs (4/6d for the best seats and 2/6d for the cheapest in the early years). From 1958 the Society moved forward with productions each February given at Yeadon Town Hall. The choices of opera covered the full range of the Savoy Operas with the exceptions of "Thespis" and "The Grand Duke" with some of the better known operas being performed more frequently than others. The quality of the productions and the standard of singing became a feature of the Society. Audiences responded well and the "House Full" notices appeared on a number of occasions.
In the early years, Tuesday night performances of the show were dedicated to the local schools and school based organisations that filled the theatre. Their enthusiastic reception of the performances, especially the very lively and amusing episodes was a great start for the cast for whom this was looked on as an extra Dress Rehearsal. This situation continued for many years but eventually the number of schools attending declined and the Society decided to include Tuesday as a normal evening performance. Another feature of the early years was a performance of the current show at High Royds Hospital, for the patients, on the Monday evening following show week.

Training, Support Video, Internal Communication
Although these aren't exactly marketing videos, they improve organizational effectiveness, productivity and the bottom line, as well as your product.
Training - Online video is a great and highly efficient way to train, whether for service, support, sales, personal development or management. Online video replaces expensive classrooms.
JIT (Just in Time) Learning – Sounds like my college major! Contextual training videos are becoming very popular on the web. 'How-to' videos, video manuals, on-site video reference, quick assembly demos, and other types of video are being used to supplement or replace traditional training. Mobile video will increase the popularity of this type of video. We're not talking long how-to videos, but short step-by-step. Each step is a brief video. Perhaps the video only shows how to hold the alternator bracket with the left hand and how to approach the mounting points with the right hand – a video worth its weight in gold if you can't describe the technique in words or a simple drawing. Bonus – the video probably cost less to produce than the drawing!
Post Sale Support and Maintenance videos, or, "Now that' I've bought this, how do I use it?" No one reads manuals. NO ONE. So save thousands in post sales support – not to mention printing costs – with creative, informative assembly, installation and maintenance videos for your products and services.
Internal Communications
Departmental Promotion – Why not a video explaining what your department does? The larger your corporation, the fewer the workers who understand the role of every department. More importantly, who appreciate your department. Make it easy on them! Create a fun – or at least entertaining – video that also explains what the hell you guys have been doing all these years, and why you're so damn important to the rest of our operation. Internal videos should highlight business plans, new business activities and achievements. They can improve knowledge transfer and lead to more effective communications. They are also a great way to show off your local hero's.
Event/Conference and Trade Show Communications. You spent how much going where? And for what? The cost of knowledge to beneficiary ratio is exorbitantly high on these junkets, er, tradeshows. In other words, a lot is spent, few use. So share the knowledge if not the wealth. Capture the presentation, demos, interviews, commentaries, etcetera – on video for all to see.
Employee Orientation – Here's the scenario. I once worked at a television station where a receptionist received – and through away – a ratings diary. (!) We were bludgeoning one another for ratings points and here was an employee who did not know what we did for a living!
Employee orientations should be interesting, informative, and provide an efficient way to get staff up to speed. It's also a way to communicate company history, structure, procedures, policies and behavior codes. (After all, who's reading all those employee handbooks at the bottom of the desk drawer or locker?) Idea: Give away one free employee handbook with each viewing of the employee orientation.
Health, Legal & Safety – In today's litigious society, supplying an easy-to-understand safety and training video for products, processes and procedures is a great way to minimize accidents and lawsuits. Package the video with the product, plus clearly label where it can also be found online.

Art Therapy Rehabilitation
One of BUAid's current projects focuses on more efficient treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) amongst war casualties. BUAid initiated and co-ordinated a panel discussion on Psychological Rehabilitation of War Victims in Ukraine, which was held at the Embassy of Ukraine in London, on the 12th November 2015.
The participants addressed a wide range of issues and challenges of psychological rehabilitation and reintegration of different groups affected by the conflict in the East of Ukraine. The panel examined the need for new research into PTSD arising from widespread mobilisation amongst the civilian population of Ukraine and its long-term effects. The discussion provided the foundations for further collaboration and exchange between the British and Ukrainian specialists in the field of PTSD.
Thanks to BUAid's co-ordination and fundraising efforts, which were supported by the Embassy of Ukraine to the UK, Ukrainian Medical Association of the UK (UMAUK) and the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain (AUGB), London Branch, 16 ex-combatants were able to undergo a week-long Art Therapy Rehabilitation course provided by our partner organization in Ukraine "Zigriy Nashu Dushu" at "Prolisok" resort in the West of Ukraine on 27th July – 2nd August 2016.

"The Grinch stood puzzling and puzzling. 'How could it be so?! It came without ribbons! It came without tags! It came without packages, boxes or bags!' He hadn't stopped Christmas from coming-it came! Somehow or other-it came just the same."
Few people find as much delight in the "wrappings" of Christmas as I do. I am entirely enthralled by the winter wonderland of snowflakes and mistletoe, jingle bells and pine trees, cider and reindeer cookies…
…sometimes, more than I am with the God I am supposed to be celebrating.
Living in Africa has given me an opportunity to experience what I have conceptualized in my head as "Christmas: unwrapped." If you take away the caroling out in the snow, the garland and Christmas tree and shimmering white twinkle lights, the cranberries and cinnamon and apple pie, peppermint mochas and chewy molasses cookies, the Nutcracker and A Christmas Carol, snow angels and cozy knitted scarves, lovely sleigh-ride weather and Christmas radio and jingle bells-if you take away my family [the people I most dearly love in the whole wide world]-…well kid, you've got yourself an unwrapped Christmas.
I positively adore the wrapping. You know I do. And what's more, I am entirely, unwaveringly convinced that God gets excited about all of it too.
BUT. One of the things that God has been teaching me since the day I boarded my first Dakar-bound flight last year, is to adore and treasure and delight in HIM more than in His gifts to me. And don't get me wrong-the pieces of Christmas that I love are indeed heart-fluttering gifts to me from a God that I ardently believe gets a kick out of the wonder they provide. But they are not the point.
What a tragedy if in the breathtaking splendor of the Christmas season-in the elaborate grandeur of our oversized trees and countless yards of garland and ribbon, in the magical, frosty flurry of snow and holly and mistletoe and all of our packages, boxes and bags…we miss the stable. A tired, decrepit, ordinary stable that didn't smell a thing like apple cinnamon or peppermint.
Christmas is God's passionate pursuit of you and I in the very midst of our utter rejection of Him. It's Jesus leaving His home for Christmas to reconcile God and sinners like me. It's a thrill of hope and joy to the whole world-because we are deeply, intensely, forever loved by the God that created snowflakes and Christmas trees and peppermint mochas. There is hope. There is joy. There is marvelous cause for great celebration and greater worship-cause to fall on our knees and hear the angel voices proclaiming that Christ our [yours and mine!] Savior is born! And heaven and nature sing.
"For behold, I bring you good news of GREAT JOY which shall be for ALL the people [Senegalese and Americans alike]. For unto you [yes, you!] is born this day in the City of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord."
Let every heart prepare Him room.
That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.

The Arizona Cardinals conquered their House of Horrors, thanks to an opportunistic defense and big plays by their veterans.
Arizona erased some bad memories in its last regular-season visit to Giants Stadium, forcing four turnovers and bewildering Eli Manning with its blitzes in a 24-17 victory Sunday night.
The Cardinals finished 3-15 at the Meadowlands, but this win lifted the defending NFC champions into first place in the West Division at 4-2 with their third straight win.
Kurt Warner, who was 6-2 as a starter with the Giants in 2004, threw one TD pass and got plenty of help from star receiver Larry Fitzgerald and a staunch defense led by safety Adrian Wilson.
"Tonight," Warner said, "we definitely fed off our defense."
Wilson had an interception and a fumble recovery, Antrel Rolle picked off Manning to clinch it, and less-heralded Cardinals Jason Wright, Tim Hightower and rookie Beanie Wells found the end zone.
The Giants (5-2) lost their second straight and were let down by, of all people, their normally solid punter. Jeff Feagles struggled, helping give the Cardinals a solid edge in field position for much of the prime-time matchup.
Feagles said he used the wrong kicking angles trying to keep the ball away from returner Steve Breaston.
Wilson, Rolle and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who left late in the third quarter with an ankle injury — X-rays were negative — in the Arizona secondary benefited from the confusion the defense caused for Manning, who was 19 for 37 and threw three interceptions.
"We played team defense," Rodgers-Cromartie said. "Everybody stepped up. When we had interception opportunities, we made them."
And they made the Giants look puzzled on offense.
"They are constantly moving around and flipping safeties and they did a good job with that," center Shaun O'Hara said. "Sometimes we caught them and sometimes they caught us."
Rodgers-Cromartie was the featured character in two noteworthy first-half plays that both wound up in the end zone. He ran stride for stride with Domenik Hixon, then leaped to wrestle the ball away from the receiver in Arizona's end zone in the first quarter.
He went from hero to villain in the second period on a bizarre play. In man coverage against Mario Manningham, Rodgers-Cromartie used another acrobatic leap. But he deflected the ball with his left hand about 15 yards downfield, where Hakeem Nicks caught it in stride and sped to his fourth touchdown in as many games. That 62-yarder put New York ahead 14-7.
Quickly, the Cardinals got some points back. Anquan Boldin, questionable for the prime-time game with an ankle injury, beat Bruce Johnson for a 44-yard catch-and-run to the New York 19. Neil Rackers' 30-yard field goal ended the first-half scoring.
The Giants used a replay challenge to thwart Arizona's opening drive. Justin Tuck forced Hightower to lose the ball at the New York 27, but officials ruled Hightower down before the ball came out. Coach Tom Coughlin flung his red flag and the call was overruled.
That didn't help the Giants much, but another turnover did. Warner threw short of Fitzgerald, who had only two receptions for 14 yards in the opening half. Terrell Thomas got his third career interception, second against Warner, and New York went 29 yards on two runs by Brandon Jacobs, who ran over safety Wilson for a 4-yard TD.
Wells ran 13 yards for his first NFL touchdown late in the second quarter after mediocre punting by Feagles, the oldest punter in the league at 43. Feagles really struggled in the third quarter, as well, helping the Cardinals. But not as much as team leaders Fitzgerald and Wilson.
Fitzgerald broke free down the middle for 26- and 27-yard completions after Arizona got the ball at its 45 on Feagles' 35-yard punt. Hightower scored from the 1.
Wilson picked off Manning at New York's 20 when defensive end Calais Campbell tipped a pass, and third-string running back Wright scored on a 6-yard middle screen — the same play the Cardinals used to beat Philadelphia in January's NFC title game — to make it 24-14.
"We feel like we've got one of the best defenses in the league," Boldin said. "It's tough for teams to move the ball on them, let alone score on them."
Lawrence Tynes' concluded the scoring with a 20-yard field goal with 8:14 to go.

UMIDIGI One Max Impressions: Waterdrop Notch at a Budget!
UMIDIGI announced the newest member to the One Series a few days ago. We are talking about the UMIDIGI One Max that is an incremental upgrade to the One Pro. The Max comes with a bigger, 6.3″ 19:9 display that sports a waterdrop notch at the top in the likes of OnePlus 6T and Huawei Mate 20. This technique allows for an even higher screen-to-body ratio that in this case reaches 91.5% which is pretty impressive. Let's check out the One Max in the video below for a first look at its display as well as the Twilight gradient color on the back.
The device is available in two colors, Twilight and Carbon, with the former looking really impressive and beautiful. If you combine the back with the front 2.5D glass and the steel frame in the middle, the overall design can be considered one of the best around. Also on the back, there is a dual camera setup with a 12MP/5MP combo. The main sensor is an OV12870 with f/2.0 aperture and a large 1/2.8″ optical format. The dual camera is proved before that can provide advanced bokeh effect. On the other hand, the front camera is a 16MP high-resolution selfie camera.
Just like the One Pro, the Max sports a fingerprint sensor and it is placed on the right side, on top of the power button, a design choice first made by Sony and it's very convenient. Also, it features a 3.5mm audio jack that is missed in most flagship phones nowadays. In addition, the dual speakers contribute to offering a decent multimedia experience.
The UMIDIGI One Max will be up for pre-order at a presale price of $179.99 from December 10. As the company has done before, they are offering 10 units to 10 trial users that will get it for free. All you have to do is complete the necessary steps to enter the giveaway. You can check out all the details about One Max and join the giveaway on their official website.BUY UMIDIGI ONE MAX HERE!

Gtmedia G1 Review : TV Box with Amlogic S905 Powerful Processor
Are you like those people who enjoy bigger screen in the smartphone but your smartphone's display cannot satisfy you? If the answer is yes, then we will now give you the ultimate solution to your problem. You can use your Television set as a smartphone. But how to do it? All you have to do is to buy the GTMEDIA G1 TV Box. This TV Box can make your TV an Android smartphone which has the same functionalities of an Android smartphone. To know more about this device, read the full review.
Design and Appearance
Being a tv box, the design and appearance of the TV Box is a vital thing. You obviously don't want to put a big, bad looking box with your tv. You may want to put the TV Box in a table or mount it on the wall or TV. So, the Box should be small and good looking. The GTMEDIA G1 has done a great job in this section.
GTMEDIA G1 is a round shaped small box having a simple functional design which felt good. The package of the TV Box has a size of (L x W x H): 8.27 x 5.51 x 2.36 inches/ 21.00 x 14.00 x 6.00 cm which weighs only 0.40 kg. The TV Box itself has a small size of (L x W x H) 4.13 x 4.13 x 0.59 inches/ 10.50 x 10.50 x 1.50 cm which is very light and small we think.
The different types of interfaces are found on the side of the Box. The whole Box is black in color which is pretty eye-catching. On the top of the Box,GTMEDIA G1 is written. So, in the design and appearance, we think GTMEDIA G1 won't disappoint you at all.
Basic Features
You already know that GTMEDIA G1 TV Box can make your television set a fully working smartphone-like device. It features almost all the things that are found on a mid-budget Android smartphone. Android 7.1.2 is used as the operating system.So, you'll find a familiar environment in operating the device. It features an Amlogic S905W CPU which features an ARM Cortex-A53 quad-core processor.
You'll get 1GB DDR3 RAM and 8GB ROM with this TV Box. It is not that much as a smartphone.But as a TV Box, we think these are more than enough. For graphics management, there is a Mali-450 GPU which is a Penta-core graphics card. It has almost all types of interfaces including USB port, Ethernet port etc. This TV Box features 2.4GHz Wifi module and the Ethernet port can achieve a data transfer rate of up to 100Mbps.
GTMEDIA G1 supports H.265 decoding and 4K ultra HD image display. It supports almost all type of video, audio and image formats. It also supports 5.1 surround sound output which is quite good.
You'll get almost all the features of a low-budget Android smartphone in this TV Box except the camera, sim card slot and a display of its own. But who wants a tiny display where you are getting your TV as the display of the smartphone?
The TV Box runs on Android operating system 7.1.2. Though Android 8 and 9 are now available in the market, you can do almost all the thing as you expect to do with this device. Here, you'll get an Amlogic S905W CPU that features a quad-core Cortex A53 processor that has a clock speed of 2GHz. 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM are featured in this device. Though the hardware specification is not that great, you can get almost all the things done quite smoothly.
The internal storage is not that great. But you can extend the capacity up to 32 GB by using an external TF card. But as it features two USB 2.0 ports, you can use your USB flash drives instead of storing all the files in the TV Box itself.
It is one of the most important things of an electronic device. What do you expect to do with your TV Box? To achieve the level of being a smartphone-likedevice, the TV Box must have a lot of interfaces. GTMEDIA G1 is equipped with almost all types of necessary interfaces. It features AV, DC power port to supply power to the device. It also has SPDIF and RJ45 ports which are very good to have.
It features anHDMI 2.0 port. This port is used to transfer heavy audio and video contents. You have already seen that this TV Box features almost all types of interfaces. But the most important thing is its two USB 2.0 ports. You can play contents from USB flash drives in this TV Box. It also features an Ethernet port. This port can achieve up to 100Mbps data transfer rate. This TV Box is also equipped with a 2.4GHzWiFi band which is awesome.
What's the main reason behind using a smartphone? The most probable answer is to connect to the world easily, right? GTMEDIA G1 knows your desires. So, it features a 2.4GHzwifi module and an Ethernet port. It doesn't support 5G Wifi. But it won't be a problem for you we think. The Ethernet port has the ability to transfer data with a speed of up to 100Mbps. Though all the smartphones have sim card slots, you won't get any sim card slot here. We don't think you will need this because all of us nowadays have WiFi connection in our home.
So, we think, GTMEDIA G1 can fulfill all your desires of getting connected to the Internet.
As a Media Device
You have already known almost all things about this device. But now, we'll talk about the most important things about a TV Box. Why do you want to have a TV Box? The most probable answer is that for watching videos, movies. You also want to have the ability to play videos onYoutube, and other online streaming sites. The GTMEDIA G1 has the ability to fulfill this desire.
It features the decoder formats H.264 and H.265. Almost all kinds of videos can be played in this device. Because it supports:
Video formats: 4K,AVI,MKV,MOV, MPEG4,TS,VOB, DAT, WMV, FLV etc.
It supports almost all kinds of popular audio formats including:
Audio Formats: WMA, AAC, MP3 etc.
Image Formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF JPG.
So, you can play almost types of contents in this device. But you won't get any DVD player with this. But we don't think that would be necessary. Because you are getting 2 USB ports with this which can be used for playing contents from USB flash drives.
The hardware configuration is not that great. But we didn't face any problem with that. What jobs need to be done with your TV Box? Playing different types of contents or playing simple 2D or 3D games are quite enough we think. As it features a Mali-450 GPU(Penta-core), you won't face any problem with playing videos, audios or simple games on this TV Box.
If you are that type of person who uses a smartphone basically for surfing on the Internet or social networking sites, then it will be a great choice. You can download and install any type of Android apps from the Play Store. You can surf the internet, stream online videos and movies, watch videos on Youtube etc. All these things running on a large screen of your TV will obviously give you much pleasure and fun.
Power and Controlling
The GTMEDIA G1 is a TV Box. So, you shouldn't expect to have batteries in it. It can be powered up through a charge adapter which is contained in the package. The TV Box only consumes 10W which is very low.
You can remotely control this TV Box by using a remote controller. Two AAA batteries are needed to give power to the remote controller. When you are surfing on the Internet, you can type on the TV by using the remote controller. But we suggest you use wireless Keyboard and mouse because it would be annoying to type in the on-screen keyboard by using the remote controller.
Package Contents
You will all the necessary things with the package. After opening the package, you will get one GTMEDIA G1 TV Box, one remote controller, an HDMI cable, a power adapter,and an English user manual. But you won't get any AAA batteries in the package. You have to buy two AAA batteries to use the remote controller.
What We Didn't Like in GTMedia G1
Though this TV Box features almost all the necessary things, we think it could do better in some aspects.
- We don't think 1GB of RAM is sufficient enough to perform well.
- It could feature the 5GHzWiFi band.
- The internal storage is very low, only 8GB. But you can extend the storage by using a microSD
- Android 7.1.2 is used as the operating system where most of the android devices are now using Android 8 or 9.
Our Verdict
This TV Box features almost all the necessary things of an Android smartphone. It has CPU, RAM,a nd GPU which can be found on a low budget smartphone. But as a TV Box, it is not a problem. You can play almost all types of contents which can be played on an Android smartphone. You can use the internet, watch online videos, or play simple games in this device. In this price range, we think GTMEDIA G1 is giving enough features and functionalities. So, we recommend you to buy this TV Box to make your TV an Android smartphone.

It has a lot of functions coming with it and it will certainly provide quality performance to the users. The Alfawise JH noise cancelling Bluetooth headphone provide the music the listener wants to hear.
Alfawise JH Review
The Alfawise JH noise cancelling Bluetooth headphone has come with a lot of features to provide the ultimate listening experience to the music & song lovers around the globe. Let's get to know about some of the features of this device.
The Alfawise JH has a very simple design to its body. Its dimension is 19.00 x 15.50 x 7.00 cm & it has a weight of 0.2020 kg. So, it is not so heavy & you can keep it on your head as long as you want, tour head will not feel the weight at all. The dimension is almost perfect for the average people. The earmuffs can rotate 90 degree. & is suitable to size and shape. The dimension is also adjustable.
Noise Reduction
The main feature of the Alfawise JH is the noise reduction feature. It has an active noise cancellation technology which will neutralize any outside noise produced around you. It will provide you with an uninterrupted audio listening with this device. It will give you the quietness you want even if you are not listening to anything. It works like a silencer for the user. It also protects the ears from outside harmful noise.
Pleasant & Comfy
The Alfawise JH has a very comfortable ear cups which will feel like a pillow under the ear. Most headphones hurt or feel uncomfortable after using it for a long time of using, but the Alfawise JH will not hurt at all. The earmuffs are made of artificial protein leather which is highly compatible to human skin. The advanced ear cups and the foam cushions of the device will give your ears an extravagant comfort.
Bluetooth Technology
The Alfawise JH works on a hand free Bluetooth technology. The version of the Bluetooth is version 4.2. The Bluetooth can operate in a 10-meter distance without any objects interfering in the way. The Bluetooth chip sensitivity is 100 + / -3kHz.
Longer Playtime
The Alfawise JH has a very long playtime feature. It has an 30h long playtime feature which very much long for a Bluetooth noise cancelling headphone. Though noise cancelling will reduce this time to about 9 to 10 hours. Still it is very impressive. It can stream music for over a day. In case the battery running low just plugging in the audio wire will do the trick.
High Quality Audio Resolution
The Alfawise JH is a 40mm driver which can provide a sound quality like no other. It provides the users with high resolution audio, warm mids, bright highs & a very impressive deep bass. This driver has a transmission that can detect a strong bass. So, it is inevitable to hear a quality sound through it.

Controlling Function
The Alfawise JH has a variety of functions so that the users can easily use the features they want. The functions have their own button right below the earmuffs. With just a click you can go from active noise free and then disabling it back home. You can also control your playlist from going to the next track to the previous track and then controlling the volume.
Some Problems-
Bluetooth Problem
The Bluetooth technology of the Alfawise JH has a Bluetooth version of 4.2. But the Bluetooth work in a 10-meter distance but that's not the problem. The problem is that the signal will interfere if there is any object between. So, often going from one room to another or going to nearby place will force the hamper the signal which will result to a disturbance in listening.
Charge Running Out
As the Alfawise JH is a noise cancelling headphone it will run out of charge fast. While the noise cancelling function is active the charge of the headphone will runout pf charge fast. While the noise cancelling function is active the headphone will have 9 to 10 hours of time running. So, users have to aware of this fact while using the Alfawise JH.
The Alfawise JH is a wonderful device with so many great features for a headphone. It will provide you with the ultimate listening experience. The outside world is a really annoying place where there is so much noise and people to disturb you or hammer your brain while you are waiting in the queue to pay bill or maybe any other work. So, this device will keep you to yourself and your thoughts with its exclusive noise cancelling feature. Its also very much compatible your ear so your ears won't feel a thing. So, anyone considering to purchase headphone can put the Alfawise JH in the top priority.

OnePlus 6T Review: Phone of the Year
We're just going to say this right off the bat, the OnePlus 6T is the best smartphone for most people. OnePlus doesn't make super affordable phones like they used to, instead they make phones with less and less compromises every year. But that comes at a cost,the latest flagship now starts at 550$ which isn't considered as a budget phone by any means.Despite the price hikes the OnePlus 6T is my phone of the year. So here I present my OnePlus 6T Review after a thorough analysis of the smartphone for over a month!
Starting off with the OnePlus 6T review, The design of the smartphone is slightly different to the 6.The newer 6T is slightly thicker and heavier than it's predecessor.It removes the fingerprint sensor on the back for an in display one.Oh yeah! There's no headphone jack either. It also adopts the less intrusive water droplet style notch which has increased it's screen to body ratio to 85.6%.The display is the same optic AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080*2340 pixels and an increased screen size of 6.41 inches.However the display is covered by Gorilla glass 6 this time.The display has vibrant colors and deep blacks with great sunlight legibility.This is the best display in this price range by far.The display houses the in built optical fingerprint sensor which is a bit slower and less accurate than traditional scannners. For me this is a downgrade over the 6.
The 6T has a Snapdragon 845 chipset with either 6 or 8 GB ram and a base storage of 128 GB.This phone doesn't disappoint in performance.It's one of the quickest and fastest phones I've ever experienced.During my usage I didn't find any lag or stuttering at all. Apps launch and close fast,frame rates are high,the UI is smooth.Gaming is also a breeze.It may sound weird but this phone outperforms Google's Pixel 3 which is a surprise considering the Pixel is a stock android phone.This phone isn't just fast for the price, it's the fastest android phone on the market.
The one place where OnePlus phones have always been lacking is in the camera department.The 6 and 6T have the identical camera setup.It's got a primary 16 MP optically stabilized sensor with f/1.7 aperture and a 20 MP secondary sensor for additional details and depth sensing.The camera performs pretty good.Outdoor photos are crisp and vibrant, although I would've liked a bit less saturation.But the photos sometimes looked a bit cartoonish to me.The portrait mode does a decent job as well. Night time and low light shots aren't that good.There's a fair bit of noise and too much sharpening.I haven't found nightscape to be that useful as it degrades the quality of the picture.Video on the other hand is pretty good with max output of 4k at 60fps. The front 20 MP selfie camera is really good and the portrait mode is pretty consistent with pleasing results.Overall the 6T camera is really good for the price but fails to keep up with the big dogs.
Battery life one the 6T is excellent.The removal of the headphone jack and increased thickness has let the company put a 3700 mAh battery inside.The 1080p amoled display and their optimized Oxygen OS makes this phone last a very long time.It has better battery life than my iPhone 7 plus which is saying something.There's a 20W fast charger in the box for quick top ups.There's still no wireless charging despite the glass back.
Powering the device is Oxygen OS. I prefer this skin even over stock android.The software is customizable,responsive,reliable an it even looks most similar to stock android.It adds useful features like gestures,themes and so on.As it's a light skin OnePlus pushes out android updates pretty fast as well.This is an area where I give props to OnePlus.It seems OnePlus is outdoing Google in delivering the most solid android experience.
The 6T inn't all about pros though,oddly enough they removed the headphone jack.But to me it isn't a big deal as we're getting a bigger battery instead.The speaker is also pretty average with only one bottom firing unit.The main issue I have with the 6T is the optical scanner,it's just not as fast the previous one in the 6.It's slow and less accurate.Personally I think OnePlus was just trying to show off rather than trying to improve the experience.
So what's the verdict?Most people aren't going to buy phones for 1000$.The 6T brings most of the features and even does somethings better than those phones for almost half the price.For 550$ you're getting a great display,stellar battery life,a solid camera and the smoothest software experience on android.If you're thinking about buying one, well stop thinking and go for it ❤

I've used Serato, Traktor, Mixvibes, DJ Player Pro, Mixx and even XwaX for DVS...
But I have never struggled so much to get to get DVS working even with the same manufacturer's hardware like I have with Rekordbox. Honestly You'd think you could just install some drivers and get up and running in no time at all but for some reason I just can't get it to work no matter what I do.
So I'm on a Late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro with 16gig of ram and a Intel Core i5 running Mac OS Mojave 10.14.5
I'm running Rekordbox 5.6.0 with the DVS plus pack that came with my DJM 250, and I bought a pair of Rekordbox Control Vinyl (in translucent blue).
I have a DJM 250mkII Settings Utility installed, with the USB inputs set to:
The USB outputs are set to:
USB 1/2 -> CH1 Control Tone PHONO
USB 3/4 -> CH2 Control Tone PHONO
USB 5/6 -> Record Output
Everything is set to USB/DVS on the physical switches on the mixer.
In the Rekordbox preferences window I have the Enabled DVS Function box ticked, and that's where I'm stuck.
When I play the Rekordbox Control Vinyl there is no signal coming into Rekordbox and there is nothing on the scope on the calibration window.
What am I missing? What am I doing wrong? Will I ever be able to get this working?
Plz elp, k thx bye

Marketing Channel
Marketing channel refers to the fourth 'P' in the marketing mix - Place; this is where a company has to decide how it will distribute its product or service to the target market or what route a company should follow to make its product or service available to potential customers.
Direct versus Indirect Channel
The first important decision in this regard is whether to distribute product or service directly to the ultimate consumer or whether it should be channeled through a network of wholesalers and retailers. This decision is influenced by a number of factors. For example, the nature of product or industry will dominate the choice of distribution channel. Mostly fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) are distributed through a channel of wholesalers and retailers. Due to the nature of the product it needs to be distributed in a mass market which may include a huge number of customers spread over a vast geographic area. For instance, companies such as Procter and Gamble and Uniliver market their toiletries and cleaning products to a huge domestic and international market. It is neither practically possible nor financially feasible to distribute such small value items directly to end users. Therefore, such companies use a network of ...

The carrier said this was 10.6% above its target for the period, with international revenue growing particularly fast.
Vietjet recorded a pretax profit of VND432.6 billion and a post-tax profit of VND381.7 billion for the first quarter. Passenger numbers were up 29.4%, and unit costs excluding fuel decreased 4.1%. Load factor was 88%.
In the first quarter, the airline launched three new international routes, lifting its network total to 63 routes. However, the carrier did not take delivery of any new aircraft in this period. Fleet growth is scheduled to resume in the second quarter with new deliveries.
