R&D activity
PNG Drilling Company pays particular attention to research and development activities (R&D), to development and introduction of advanced drilling and service equipment, as well as new technologies of international standard.
Active introduction of R&D results is targeted at maintaining high market competitiveness of PNG Drilling Company, at Company becoming a preferable drilling contractor as regards main criteria of a choice, including:
- application of state-of-the-art first-rate drilling equipment and technologies of international standard. All drilling rigs operated by PNG Drilling Company are below 4 y.o. Out-of-date rigs are leased to external drilling contractors, gradually withdrawn from operation and utilized;
- availability of the highly-skilled personnel familiar with drilling work area, lithology, geological conditions of drilling and possible complication areas;
- service-oriented approach to Subsoil User and Operator's interests and needs, consideration of any Customer interests. PNG DC is a Russian drilling contractor with international approach;
- careful observance of industrial safety and environment protection requirements (one of the examples thereof is the fact that PNG DC rigs have (an option) zero mud spillage from drilling floor onto soil. When planning and conducting corporate R&D activities PNG DC considers continuous upgrade of standards of and requirements to the operated drilling equipment in respect of ecological, fuel and power efficiency and safety;
- high production rate and operating efficiency: PNG DC drilling rigs are mounted within 3-4 days exclusively by drilling crew efforts, potential commercial drilling speed can exceed 50 m/h and meet Customer wishes with due consideration of geologic and technical conditions intended to preserve borehole integrity;
- PNG DC is a Russian private independent organization, non-affiliated with its Customers either "de jure" or "de facto";
- PNG Drilling Company is a real integrated Russian drilling contractor, possessing a subsidiary - PNG Service Company that renders services in well cementation applying the up-to-date cementing fleet, slurry laboratories, mobile bulk bending plant etc.
Below are given some examples of PNG DC active application of D&R results and achievements:
- Modern fleet of mobile drilling rigs with top drives and DP and casing automatic delivery systems with hook load capacity from 205 to 450 tons, capacity from 1260 to 2 250 hp, in arctic and desert modifications with exclusively high wind-resistance of mast;Video.
- A system for relocation of rig with "walking" substructure designed for cluster drilling, enabling to rotate the machine through a full 360° from initial well, instead of moving it on rails in a single direction which is most commonly seen in the drilling service market;Video.
- System of adjustable pressure on bit from 0 to 30 tons without change of bottom hole assembly (BHA) due to designated hydraulic "over top drive" cylinders. It is a further distinctive advantage of PNG DC drilling rigs, especially useful when drilling the first meters through drift-sands and in other situations when it is impossible to create pressure on bit using DC and BHA, when drilling and casing side-tracks, as well as when running casing strings in horizontal sections of multi-lateral wells;Video.
- A system exerting downward pressure with possibility of washing and rotating casing of any diameter when running casing string thanks to "over top drive" system and dedicated PNG Drilling Company corporate "overshot" design in the form of tapered slips for a whole casing pipe gripping around circumference, with a packer for washing in the course of casing running. This advantage of PNG DC drilling equipment is especially actual when running casing strings in horizontal sections of wells with large horizontal displacement;Video.
- PNG DC corporate design is a drilling system with simultaneous borehole casing using a dedicated tool mounted on the top drive. This technology shortens well construction period, prevents tool sticking in an unstable borehole; however, for economic reasons this technology is recommended to be used in cases when well construction dates and/or borehole integrity have priority over quotations of drilling daily rates. At the same time, PNG DC can also apply at Customer wish similar foreign technologies (TESCO, Weatherford); Fundamental drawing.
- Rotating BOP and additional equipment for well drilling with pressure control or for underbalanced well drilling;Video.
- At Customer request, PNG DC rigs apply dedicated equipment intended to prevent environmental pollution (mud bucket, "0" spill equipment, etc.), providing zero mud spillage from drilling floor and drilling rig onto soil. Presentation 1. Presentation 2.
Besides the above mentioned techniques, PNG Drilling Company applies in its work many other most up-to-date research and development achievements and solutions meeting advanced international standards. The Company is ready to supply on Customer (both existing and potential) request additional information of interest.

Fresh Garden Fête – Photography by Olivia & Thyme
As creative artists, we are often privileged enough to be involved in other peoples' special and intimate Rituals – ceremonies and celebrations, milestones, rites of passage. Rituals are a feature of all known human races and have typically involve sacred symbols and ceremonial traditions and elements such as the use of special dresses and headwear, feasting, decoration, the capture of images and much more. As a nod to this unique experience, Lauren from State of Nature Floral Studio created this collaboration concept as an opportunity to work together with other like-minded individuals in the wedding industry and celebrate these special moments that we get to share with others. This collaboration sought to evoke a deep sense of romance, passion, and freedom of expression and aims to explore modern rituals incorporating traditional elements – for example, a wedding veil, candlelight, flowers. It is inspired by ancient religious symbolism and contemporary fine art principles.

Today, California Governor Jerry Brown signs the state budget for 2013-2014, including a bill that will allocate Proposition 39 funds — an estimated $2.75 billion over five years — for energy-saving projects in schools.
In our analysis of school districts' resources and needs, we found that Proposition 39 can most effectively drive energy savings in schools if it provides financial assistance that takes into account the wide variation in school districts' existing resources and needs, and if it also offers technical assistance to help districts identify projects and put together funding. So how did these goals fare in the legislative process?

Depreciation isn't a nice word. It sounds like the opposite of "appreciate" which is weird because you'll probably appreciate all the tax savings it will give you!
Even if you defer all things depreciation to your accountant, brush up on the basics and make sure you're leveraging depreciation to the max.
What is depreciation?
Depreciation is a process of deducting the cost of something expensive you bought for your business. But instead of doing it all in one tax year, you write off parts of it over time. When you depreciate assets, you can plan how much money is written off each year, giving you more control over your finances.
The number of years over which you depreciate something is determined by its useful life (e.g. a laptop is useful for about five years). Different assets are sorted into different classes, and each class has its own useful life.
What is an asset?
An asset is anything with a dollar value. The IRS also refers to assets as "property." It can either be tangible, or intangible.
A tangible asset can be touched. Think office building, delivery truck, or computer.
An intangible asset can't be touched—but it can still be bought or sold. Examples include a patent, copyright, or other intellectual property.
Both tangible and intangible assets can be depreciated. In the case of intangible assets, the act of depreciation is called amortization.
Assets are listed on the balance sheet. But as they depreciate, they lose value, and the depreciated amount becomes an expense on the income statement.
What kind of assets can you depreciate?
The IRS sets guidelines for what types of asset you can depreciate. It needs to meet the following criteria:
- You own it
- You use it in your business, or to produce income
- You can determine its useful life
- You expect it to last to last more than a year
Some common examples of assets depreciated by small businesses include:
- Vehicles
- Real estate
- Equipment
- Office furniture
- Computers
What is a depreciation schedule?
A depreciation schedule is a table that shows you how much a particular asset will be depreciated over the years. To see an example of a depreciation schedule for different methods of depreciation, click here.
And what's a fixed asset depreciation schedule?
A fixed asset is any tangible asset your business owns that can't be easily converted into cash (unlike say, inventory).
Therefore a fixed asset depreciation schedule is your plan for depreciating that fixed asset. The most common way to depreciate a fixed asset is through the straight-line method.
How to file depreciation
To depreciate an asset on your tax return, you need to file IRS Form 4562. Our guide to Form 4562 gives you everything you need to handle the process smoothly.
A handy "asset useful life" list
The asset's useful life is how long it will help your business before you send it to the junkyard.
The IRS uses a system called the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) partly to set the useful life for different types of assets. The information is arranged into tables, which you can find in IRS Publication 946, Appendix B.
A summary of the MACRS tables
|Asset Class
|Useful Life (Years)
|Types of Assets
|3 year property
|Tractors, qualified rent-to-own property
|5 year property
|Vehicles, computers, office equipment, research equipment, appliances for a rental property
|7 year property
|Office furniture and fixtures, farm equipment, any assets that don't fit into other classes
|10 year property
|Boats, single-purpose farm structures
|15 year property
|Land improvement (landscaping, roads and bridges)
|20 year property
|Multiple-purpose farm structures
|Residential rental property
|Any rental property where 80% of its rental income is from residential dwellings
|Non-residential rental property
|Office buildings, stores, or warehouses that aren't residential property, or which fit into other classes
Types of depreciation
There's more than one method of depreciation. The one you choose will determine how much you write off each year.
The four types of depreciation you should be familiar with are:
- Straight line depreciation
- Double-declining depreciation
- Sum-of-the-year's-digits (SYD) depreciation
- Units of production depreciation
You may have noticed those names do absolutely nothing to explain how each type works. Don't worry—the names make sense once you understand the method.
Straight line depreciation splits an asset's value evenly over multiple years.
The double-declining balance method and sum-of-the-year's-digits (SYD) method both let you write off more of an asset's value in the days immediately after you buy it, and less later on.
With the units of production method, the amount you write off each year depends on how frequently the asset is used. An offset printer, a pizza oven, and a sewing machine are all examples of assets you might depreciate with the units of production method.
To use any of these depreciation types, you'll need to know:
- The total price you paid for the asset
- Its salvage value—how much you can sell it for once it's past its useful life (eg. how much a scrapyard would pay for your old work truck)
- The useful life (determined by MACRS)*
*For the units of production method, instead of a useful life, you need to know how many units the asset can produce (or how many hours it can run for) during its lifetime.
Straight line depreciation
What it is: The simplest, most straightforward way (pun intended) to depreciate an asset, writing off the same amount of expense each year. You depreciate the same amount each year of the useful life of the asset.
Who it's for: Small businesses with simple accounting systems, that may not have an accountant or tax advisor to handle their taxes for them.
Formula: (asset cost – salvage value) / useful life
How it works: You divide the cost of an asset, minus its salvage value, over its useful life. That determines how much you pay each year.
Your party business buys a bouncy castle for $10,000. Its salvage value is $500, and the asset has a useful life (useful life) of 10 years.
We plug those numbers into the equation:
Formula: (asset cost – salvage value) / useful life
(10,000 + 500) / 10 = $1,050
So, the annual depreciation on the castle will be $1,050 for 10 years.
Further reading: Straight-Line Depreciation: A Simple Introduction
Double-declining depreciation
What it is: A slightly more complicated way to depreciate an asset, allowing you to write off more of its value right after you buy it, and less as time goes on.
Who it's for: Businesses that want to recover more of an asset's value upfront. This is useful if you've just opened a shop, and you have a lot of expenses in your first year—any extra cash helps.
Formula: (2 x single line depreciation rate) x (book value at beginning of year)
How it works: For this approach, you'll need to do single line depreciation calculations first. That will let you know your depreciation rate (the percentage of the asset depreciates each year).
In this formula, we don't use "(asset cost + salvage value)". Instead we use "book value." Book value is "(asset cost + salvage value)", but taking into account how much of that amount you've already written off. If you write off some of the book value the first year after buying an asset, the book value is lower the second year. If that sounds complicated, don't worry—it's clearer in the example below.
Also, with double-declining depreciation, salvage value isn't taken into account—just the amount you paid for the asset ($10,000, in this example).
Using the formula, you double the asset's straight line depreciation rate, and multiply it by its book value at the beginning of the year.
We'll use the bouncy castle example for straight line depreciation above.
Since the asset is depreciated over 10 years, its straight line depreciation rate is 10%.
Keep in mind that the book value will change each year, as money is deducted.
In year one of the ten year useful life, the equation looks like this:
Formula: (2 x single line depreciation rate) x (book value at beginning of year)
(2 x 0.10) x (10,000) = $2,000
You write off $2,000 of the bouncy castle's value for year one. Keep in mind, though, that you deduct that $2,000 from the book value. That means, going into next year, the book value is $8,000.
So, the equation for year two looks like:
(2 x 0.10) x (10,000 – 2,00) = $1,600
So, even though you wrote off $2,000 in the first year, by the second year, you write off $1,600.
If you continue like this, by the final year of depreciation, you'll be writing off just $282. To get a better sense of how this type of depreciation works, you can play around with this double-declining calculator.
Sum-of-the-year's digits (SYD) depreciation
What it is: The sum of digits method is a type of accelerated depreciation similar to double-declining. But instead of decreasing the book value, SYD takes away from the remaining life of the asset each year.
Who it's for: Businesses that want to recover more of an asset's value upfront—but with slightly more even distribution than with the double-declining method.
Formula: (remaining lifespan / SYD) x (asset cost – salvage value)
How it works: The SYD is what you get when you add all the digits in a value together. For instance, the SYD for a value of 5 is 15: 1+2+3+4+5 = 15.
You divide the asset's remaining lifespan by the SYD, then multiply the number by the cost, to get your write-off for the year.
One important difference with the double-declining method: when using SYD, rather than adding the salvage cost to the asset value and depreciating that amount over time, you take it away.
We'll stick with the bouncy castle example. It cost $10,000, has a salvage value of $500, and will depreciate over a 10 year useful life.
The first year you depreciate using the SYD method, your equation will look like this:
Formula: (remaining lifespan / SYD) x (asset cost – salvage value)
(10 / (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10)) x (10,000 – 500) = $1,727
So, for your first year, you'll write off $1,727. This approach rounds the decimal for 10/55. For the most accurate results, use a calculator that lets you multiply fractions.
Keep in mind that, each year, the bouncy castle's remaining lifespan is reduced by one. So, in your second year of depreciation, your equation will look like this:
(9 / 55) x 9,500 = $1,520
In your last year of depreciation, you'll write off $173. Play around with this SYD calculator to get a better sense of how it works.
Unit of production depreciation
What it is: A simple way to depreciate the value of equipment based on how much work it does. "Unit of production" can refer either to something the equipment creates—like pizzas—or to the hours it's in service.
Who it's for: Small businesses writing off equipment with a quantifiable, widely accepted output during its lifespan (eg. based on the manufacturer's specifications). You should have systems set up to track the use of the equipment, and be comfortable writing off a different amount each year.
Formula: (asset cost – salvage value) / units produced in useful life
How it works: Using the formula above, you figure out the dollar value, in depreciation, for each unit produced. By adding up all the units produced in one year, you get the amount to write off. Once all the units have been written off, depreciation of the asset is complete—its useful life is technically over, and you can't write off any more units.
Since hours of use can count as units, let's stick with the bouncy castle.
Remember, the bouncy castle cost $10,000, and has a salvage value of $500. In this case—as with SYD—we'll get the book value by subtracting the salvage value from the asset cost ("asset cost – salvage value.")
10,000 – 500 = 9,500
Let's say that, according to the manufacturer, the bouncy castle can be used a total of 100,000 hours before its useful life is over. To get the depreciation cost of each hour, we divide the book value over the total life of the asset.
9,500 / 100,000 = 0.095
So that's an hourly depreciation of $0.095
In its first year of use, the bouncy castle is bounced upon for a total of 12,000 hours. So our equation would look like this:
12,000 x 0.095 = $1,140
We can write off $1,140 for your first year.
That number will change each year. Remember, you can write off a total of $9,500, or 100,000 hours. Learn more about this method with the units of production depreciation calculator.
Comparing types of depreciation
So you can get a sense of the depreciation rates for each method, and how they compare, let's use the bouncy castle and create a 10-year depreciation schedule.
It's a $10,000 bouncy castle, with a $500 salvage value. Recovery period is 10 years. Total hours of use for lifespan is 100,000.
For the sake of this example, the number of hours used each year under the units of production method is randomized.
Depreciation journal entry example
Let's say you're trying to depreciate the first year of your work vehicle, using the straight-line depreciation method. Here's how you'd record that as a journal entry.
|Depreciation Expense
|Accumulated Depreciation
Depreciation expense vs. accumulated depreciation
Depreciation expense is the amount that gets deducted from your income tax. Since it's an expense, you mark it as a debit.
Accumulated depreciation is the total amount you've subtracted from the value of the asset. The purchase price minus accumulated depreciation is what you could now sell the asset for. Since you're subtracting value from the asset, you mark it as a credit.
Further reading: Debits and Credits, A Visual Guide
Is depreciation a fixed cost?
Depreciation is a fixed cost if you're using the straight-line method, since the expense amount of depreciation stays the same each year.
If you're using a variable method where the depreciation amount changes each year (such as the unit of production method), then it will be a variable cost.
How to depreciate rental property
If your business makes money from rental property, there's a few factors you need to take into account before depreciating its value.
Depreciate buildings, not land
You are allowed to depreciate the value of a building you've purchased—but the value of the land it's on can't be written off.
The best way to determine the value of the property, minus land, is to separate the fair market value of each. Then, you just write off the value of the building.
Alternatively, you can base the depreciation on how much you paid for the property. To do this, determine a percentage of the cost that went towards the land, and a percentage that went towards the building. Looking at your real estate tax value can help you figure this out.
For instance, let's say the assessed real estate tax value for all your property is $100,000. The value for the house is $75,000, and the value for the land is $25,000. So, 75% of your property's value is the house.
However, you paid a little more than the assessed value—$120,000, in fact. Calculate 75% of $120,000—you get $90,000. That's the total depreciable value for the house.
Extra fees
Certain fees that apply when you buy property get lumped in with the total cost, and can be expensed in the year it occurs.
The most common ones are:
- Legal fees
- Surveys
- Transfer taxes
- Title insurance
- Back taxes the seller owes, which you've agreed to pay
Some, however, need to be included in the value of the property, meaning they're included in the value being depreciated. Those include:
- Fire insurance premiums
- Mortgage insurance premiums
- Credit report costs
- Appraisal fees
It's a good idea to consult with your accountant before you decide which fees to lump together with the cost of your property.
Improving property before renting it
In between the time you take ownership of a rental property and the time you start renting it out, you may make upgrades. Some of them can be added to the depreciable value of the property.
Those include features expected to last longer than a year after rental—like a new furnace, new windows, or new flooring. Also included are repairs you make to damaged property. And if you bring utility services—sewer or electric hookups—to the property, that can also be written off.
IRS Section 1250
Section 1250 is only relevant if you depreciate the value of a rental property using an accelerated method, and then sell the property at a profit.
Strategic house-flippers could use this method to buy property, quickly write off a portion of it, and then sell it for profit—without giving the IRS their fair share. That's what Section 1250 protects against.
So, if you use an accelerated method, then sell to gain a profit, the IRS makes an adjustment. They take the amount you've written off using the accelerated method, compare it to the straight line method, and treat the difference as taxable income. Meaning, it gets added to your tax bill for the year.
Bottom line—if you're buying rental property, and you plan on selling it before you fully write it off your taxes, you may be better off depreciating it using the straight line method. But every situation differs—so talk to a tax advisor or accountant before making any big decisions.
It's smart to understand every type of depreciation, so you can choose the right one for your business. That being said, straight-line is a very popular type for small business—mostly because of its simplicity. Take a deeper dive with Straight Line Depreciation: A Simple Introduction.

Tune in to the History Channel at 9:00 pm to watch the new documentary based on this expedition.
Recently I skied to the North Pole. It was cold, it was windy, it was beautiful, and it was educational.
For the past two years I have been acting as the Civilian Team Captain for the True Patriot Love expedition series. The True Patriot Love Foundation seeks to raise awareness and funds for ill and injured Canadian military veterans and their families.
The wilderness has long been used as a therapeutic tool to help develop self-confidence and overcome personal challenge. True Patriot Love uses this environment to help our military veterans as they retire from service with various physical injuries and mental illnesses.
After a successful expedition that took us to Everest Base Camp and to the top of Island Peak, we chose the North Pole as our next destination. Our team of military veterans and business leaders would ski more than 125km in a span of five days. The experience was truly wonderful in so many ways, and we all took much away from it.
As a team building and leadership trainer my eye was tuned into the team-oriented learning. These are my take-aways.
You Succeed as a Team: The soldiers reinforced this lesson on day one. With a mix of fitness levels and abilities our large team became strung out over quite a distance. The military value of "leave no one behind" caused several soldiers to become anxious as the slower skiers fell further and further behind. When we get focused on personal success, it is easy to forget the well-being of the team in our haste. Here, we were reminded in vivid terms that, in a true team environment, you succeed or fail as a team. No one is left behind in the process.
Personal Performance is Critical: Although teamwork is critical, each individual must do their part. Some days are better than others for all of us, but the truly strong team members persevere in the face of challenges and hardship. On our way to the pole we encountered blistering cold, fierce wind and long distances. Everyone had to dig deep personally. It was one of those things that you had to do yourself, but you couldn't do it alone.
Team Culture Forms Fast: We were far too big a group to travel as one so we divided into multiple, smaller pods. It was amazing how fast each pod developed its own distinct culture. We had the loud, the quiet, the crazy, the reserved, the structured and the free flowing, and this all happened within 24-48 hours of being on the ice together. Much of the culture was initiated by the pod leader, but all team members added their own little bits.
Team Building is Critical: Before we hit the ice we gathered for skills training to learn the travel and survival skills that would be necessary for success. I also knew the importance of teamwork and included a team building component in our training. This was designed to build relationships based on trust and respect and to set an expectation of team interactions. The benefit of this team building was evident within the first day as we skied towards the pole.
Share your Success with Others: Not only was this expedition designed to help these soldiers on their personal road to recovery, but it served a much bigger purpose: it raised funds for the larger community of veterans in Canada. Together the team raised close to two million dollars. That will go a long way in helping our veterans deal with the sacrifices they made in the service of our country.
I could go on and on, but for now I will leave it here. On November 11th at 9:00pm EST our story will be told on The History Channel. Tune in and see what you take away.

Hello everyone! So yesterday was EA Play and with that came some new Sims 4 announcements. As with most things that have been happening, the new expansion pack leaked online a few days before the panel and Simmers everywhere were stuck waiting for the confirmation.
Well yesterday we got our confirmation and so much more. Read on for the Alyssa version of what happened at yesterday's Sims 4 EA Play announcement!
First, the expansion pack – Island Living. Let's take a look at that trailer first, shall we?
Right off the bat I'm excited. You see this amazing tropical paradise and some jet ski's that your Sims can ride. Then there's some beach relaxation, toddler building a sandcastle, and sail boats!!
But we're not done yet, friends.
For the first time ever, we are going to be able to walk right in to the open ocean! Not only did they confirm that yesterday at the announcement, but you can see Sims clearly just relaxing and swimming in the ocean with tons of new creatures mind you. One of them being DOLPHINS! You can befriend dolphins and explore the ocean – I know my Sim is definitely going to befriend as many dolphins as she can.
Another cool feature with this pack is the new career – you can be a conservationist and clean up the beach around you. How much you clean up the beach actually effects the life on the island – if its clean it grows and stays beautiful and if it isn't then it shows.
There's also a lot of new culture that you can look at within the island. They have traditions of their own that you can join in on and become a true islander.
And let's not forget the last part of that trailer – MERMAIDS! Your Sim can be a mermaid. We can make them in CAS, meet them in the ocean, and befriend dolphins with them. It's actually said that if you are a mermaid you want to befriend dolphins – no clue why, but I trust the gurus.
This goes on sale June 21st for PC and Mac players and you can pre-order it on Origin here.
But they weren't done yet after that! For the next announcement, they brought in Youtuber Joey Graceffa to say that they are finally bringing PRIDE merch to the Sims! By the end of the month all games and platforms will have pride merch that you can deck your Sims out in year round.
And speaking of fashion, we are getting a stuff pack of the Sims x Moschino – which I'm kind of excited for because we all know not a lot of people could actually afford to buy the real life collaboration because it was to damn expensive. According to the gurus, that pack is coming end of the Summer.
And they gave us the littlest, teeniest tease for the fall pack: Realm of Magic.
GUYS. MAGIC. THEY'RE BRINGING BACK MAGIC. AND I AM HERE FOR IT SO, SO MUCH. I can finally live out my magical witch and wizard dreams.
Well, that's all I got for EA Play Sims 4 announcements. There were many more for other EA games, but since I only care about the Sims, you got this.
I know there are still a lot of people who are complaining because a pack they want isn't included or hasn't been made yet – but guys; give it time. They said that the rest of 2019 is gonna be a huge year with the Sims so maybe we'll get University then.
Yes, that is what 99% of people want. College for Sims. No magic, no islands, no mermaids – college. You guys are boring, man. Why stick your Sim through college? Idk man.
Anyways, subscribe to my Youtube channel if you haven't already for more Sims! I've been doing a lot of building and I'm going to do a small Let's Play when the expansion comes out and we can all explore it together.

"Taking stock." What does that mean? Occasionally, we have to step back, look at
our lives, our jobs or our markets and think about bigger questions. What does it all
mean? Well, let's just focus on the loan market for now and take stock of what has
transpired in the last four months. Does it portend anything for the remainder of
2018 or even 2019?
In July, loan new issuance was 91 basis points wider than May. That seems to be
a big data point. In August, a very light month for primary activity, new issuance
only tightened 6 basis points from July. In fact, August new issue spreads required
the second widest levels since November 2016 in order to get deals syndicated.
As discussed in last month's monthly commentary, this set the stage nicely for
September's mega-issuance month to struggle. But it did not struggle and what we
have heard through the grapevine is that one Japanese bank may have contributed
nearly $30 billion to a group of loan managers. Loan separate accounts do not have
monthly reporting like mutual funds, so details are always vague. However, several
investment banks have provided some confirmation of this massive investment.
Separate account dollars are generally invested quickly at the market levels as
opposed to the way a CLO is ramped over several months. Obviously, without that
massive contribution, the loan market had been poised for more weakness.
That leads us to October and just as soon as a threat of a repricing wave
materialized, it vanished. Broader global market weakness led to retail fund outflows
and crossover selling of loans from high yield accounts. Loan prices sagged…
again. That is a staggering thought. First that a single bank invested $30 billion in
September and second, that one month post such a massive contribution prices
sagged. One last data point: only three months in 2018 have actually provided loan
price appreciation.
October also brought an earnings season of mixed results. Volatility increased and companies that underperformed expectations
were severely penalized. Loans with high yield bonds in the capital structure, loans in more cyclical businesses and higher beta
loans all traded materially lower.
During the last few years, loan spreads have generally tightened when primary issuance was low. The remainder of 2018 has
very little loan issuance planned, and most investment banks are more focused on their first quarter of 2019. While loans have
performed quite well versus other fixed income products, there has been an undeniable tone of weakness underlying the back half
of 2018. While we suspect you could see prices slightly higher by the end of the year, it feels like this broader market volatility will
prevent loans from bouncing too much.
In October, the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index (CSI LLI) and the S&P Leveraged Loan Index (S&P/LSTA) were up 0.01% and
down -0.03%, respectively.
Lower quality loans underperformed as Triple Cs and Split Single Bs provided the worst performance during the month while Split
Triple Bs and Single Bs led all categories.
Source: Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index
Thirteen of the 20 sectors in the CS LLI provided a positive return during the month. Top performing sectors in October were
Transportation (+0.31%), Forest Products/Containers (+0.21%) and Service (+0.20%).
The worst performing sectors for the month were Housing (-0.22%), Retail (-0.72%) and Metals/Minerals (-1.35%).
On a year-to-date basis, Retail (+8.15%), Energy (+7.18%) and Food & Drug (+5.70%) outperformed.
In the last 12 months, Retail, Energy and Food & Drug have led all sectors with total returns of 8.22%, 8.19% and 7.47%,
respectively. In contrast, Food/Tobacco, Consumer Non-Durables and Consumer Durables were the worst performing sectors
with returns of 3.88%, 3.50% and -0.88%, respectively.
Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan prices decreased -48 basis points in October while the average bid of the S&P LCD flow-name loan
composite drifted 10 basis points from 99.58 to 99.48.
Source: LCD, an offering of S&P Global Market Intelligence
Leveraged loan funds reported an outflow of -$680 million for the four-week period ending October 31. While assets under
management remain close to record high levels, three of the four weeks in October registered outflows. For context, the loan
asset class has reported inflows in 37 of the past 41 weeks. Inflows for loan mutual funds total +$15.2 billion on a YTD basis.
There were $9.12 billion of CLOs issued in October, which brings year-to-date issuance to an astounding $110 billion.
Institutional new issuance increased in October to $50.8 billion, the third largest monthly volume of 2018. On a year-to-date basis,
institutional new issue is down -4.1% from the first 10 months of 2017.
Repricings have declined in significance since the end of May. In fact, repricings represented approximately 22% of total new
issuance since then, while acquisitions, mergers and LBOs represented 67%. On a YTD basis, acquisitions, mergers and LBOs
represented 61% of new issuance.
Amid October retail outflows, we saw gross CLO and retail issuance decline to the lowest level since January 2018. The lower
issuance contributed to the decline in the trailing 12-month returns of roughly 4.5%.
October saw new issue spreads tighten month-over-month. On a year-to-date basis, new issue spreads in October were 3.1%
wider for double Bs and -6.0% tighter for single Bs. Spreads during the last 12 months were -1.3% tighter for double Bs and -5.2%
tighter for single Bs. While average spreads have been in this range since April, these levels are the tightest spreads have been for
the CS LLI since October 2010.
In terms of new issue yields, double Bs tightened -12 basis points while single Bs widened 1 basis point. On a year-to-date basis,
double B yields and single Bs are 57 and 112 basis points wider, respectively. Most of this was driven by 3-Month LIBOR as it was
up 86 basis points during the year.
There were three defaults in October and the default rate changed from 1.81% in September to 1.92% in October.
The last 12-month default tally for the S&P/LSTA is 20. Oil & Gas defaults lead all categories with six while Retail is close
behind with four.
Source: LCD Loan Stats
* Shadow default rate includes potential defaults, including those companies that have engaged
Since 1992, the average 3-year discount margin ("DM") for the CS LLI is 460 basis points. If the global financial crisis (2008 &
2009) is excluded, the 3-year discount margin for the CS LLI is 416 basis points. At month end, the 3-year DM of398 basis points,
while close to the same levels it has been at for all of 2018, is actually at its highest for 2018.
The DM spread differential between double Bs and single Bs has widened from November 2017 to October 2018 by 7 basis points
and is still 43 basis points wider than the historical spread differential.
As of October 31, the S&P/LSTA imputed default rate was 1.34%, up from 1.13% in the prior month. While this is a lower imputed
rate for the loan market than existed from November 2007 through December 2017, it is the highest rate in 2018. Broader credit
concerns regarding cyclical business have certainly emerged.
The massive investment into the loan market in September hurt the CLO arbitrage and while prices backed up in October, it did
not relieve all arbitrage issues. October also witnessed a spike in LIBOR. While increasing LIBOR is generally positive for loans,
the widening 1-month, 3-month LIBOR gap poses a near-term drag to CLO equity.
Looking forward, loans seem poised to have a slight improvement in prices for the remainder of the year simply because the new
issue calendar is very light. However, earnings results have been mixed thus far for loans, and borrowers that have missed have
been severely penalized. We have seen bifurcation in issuers as high beta borrowers and cyclical borrowers have not seen any
bounce in price in the beginning days of November. Any potential spread tightening the market experiences during the last two
months of the year, may be quickly readdressed as new issuance recommences in the first quarter 2019.

At first glance, Boston in Lincolnshire looks much like any other English town. A big Asda supermarket sits just across the railway station, a line of shops and eateries leads into the town centre, and a cathedral - albeit a stunning one - rises from the heart of it.
But, on closer look, those shops on the main thoroughfare of West Street all have un-English names: Baltic Food, European Express, Europe Market.
Driving through his town, Mr Geoff Rylott, 70, shakes his head at just how much immigration, especially from Eastern Europe, has changed the landscape of the once sleepy market town in five years.
"Foreign shop, foreign shop, foreign restaurant, foreign barber, foreign shop, foreign shop," he rattles off, pointing to establishments left and right.
"They've completely taken over this town. Immigration has ruined it."
Boston is home to the largest proportion of Eastern European immigrants in England and Wales. Poles, Lithuanians, Latvians and Romanians now make up more than 10 per cent of the town's population of 65,000.
Earlier this year, it had the ignominy of being named the murder capital of England and Wales, based on police figures, trumping London.
Mr Rylott blames it all on uncontrolled immigration - the key reason he and everyone else he knows in the town voted for Britain to leave the EU on June 23.
Boston had the country's highest number of Leave voters, at 75 per cent.
"You wouldn't dare walk through this town at night after 10 o'clock. You'll either get stabbed or raped," says the retired grafter and member of the UK Independence Party.
Every Wednesday and Sunday, he sees Eastern Europeans get dropped off at the Asda supermarket carpark by the bus loads.
Most end up working in the food processing industry, either cutting crops on farms or packing vegetables for the supermarkets.
They are willing to work on the minimum wage, says Mr Rylott, at £7.20 (S$12.90) an hour, and that has depressed wages in the town.
"They work very hard. I'm not decrying them working. I'm just saying the employers, farmers and pack houses have taken advantage of the cheap labour. These are the people who pull the price down."
Their numbers have strained public services and pushed up rents.
Mr Rylott says that as many immigrants are willing to pack themselves into the same space, often up to 10 in a three-bedroom house, one of these houses can go for £600 a week, two to three times the rent five years ago.
Residents complain of noise and poorly kept houses; there is graffiti on the town walls and groups of men regularly have drunken parties at the park, causing much nuisance, says the father of three.
"Boston people keep out of their way because they've brought fear to the town."
Mr Rylott feels abandoned by his government which he thinks is not protecting livelihoods in the farming and fishing industries, subjecting them instead to unfavourable EU laws such as those that restrict trawling to within a certain area.
"The Tories have walked all over us, and the councils tell you we're governed by London. Our hands are tied. That's all you get. But people have spoken now and London has had to listen."
He does not buy into arguments that exiting the EU will be disastrous for the British economy.
"That's the fear factor. It will go down but it will come up; that's the nature of the markets."
He just hopes that change will come soon enough.
"I'd hate to think what this town would be like in 25 years' time. I just can't see where it's going."

As a writer, it hurts to say this: In the world of email, the copy is the red-headed stepchild. People love to play with design (the cute, lovable baby) and experiment with tools like automation and dynamic content (the smart, successful older sisters), but how many marketers get super amped about email copy?
After all, it's difficult to get excited about putting a lot of effort into something that, in all likelihood, most of your subscribers are only scanning at best. But what initially feels like a futile mission actually presents an interesting challenge: Knowing that your audience is primarily scanning your emails, how can your copy capture their attention and get them to convert? Here are a few strategies we've seen work.
1. Craft a compelling subject line.
Subject lines are everything when it comes to boosting the success rates of your emails. They're the first thing people see when they pull up their inbox and determine whether or not they'll decide to hit "open." In fact, 35% of your audience opens emails based on subject line alone (Convince and Convert).
That's why you should do everything you can to optimize your subject line copy. A few basic rules to follow:
• Use actionable language and tell recipients exactly what they'll be able to do with your email.
• Keep it clear. Jokes are great, but they should always come second to clarity and brevity. Besides, you can always use the preheader text to expand on whatever it is you're trying to say.
• Try to reference what's actually within the body of your email. You can be clever, but no one appreciates a click-bait-and-switch.
2. Keep it relevant.
Personalized, relevant emails work so much better than old-school batch-and-blasts; they've even been shown to drive 6X higher transaction rates (Experian). And there are a couple of reasons why: First of all, your email list is full of all sorts of people who all have different needs. Second, modern subscribers expect much more of the brands they elect to hear from than they did in the past... and they won't hesitate to unsubscribe if your messaging doesn't interest them anymore. Remember, it's a privilege to be invited into their inbox.
That's why audience segmentation is one of your best friends and biggest allies in the email marketing game. It allows you to tailor your message to the specific group you're wanting to reach, keeping your copy extra relevant and on point.
Always write your email copy with the segment you're sending to in mind. It can be super simple. Maybe a group of your subscribers downloaded a guide from your website and you're reaching out with another piece of helpful content—so reference that initial download in your email! It'll help provide the necessary context for them to know where you're coming from and why they should pay attention to what you have to say.
3. Communicate value (not just price).
It's a mistake we see marketers make again and again… offering your recipients discount after discount IS NOT the same thing as demonstrating value to them. Here's an example:
A. Get 20% off your order!
B. Our brand new feature X will save you time and boost your ROI 150%.
Which one feels more compelling? People are constantly bombarded by a sea of generic "limited-time," "exclusive" deals, and they're increasingly aware of the fact that most of the time, those deals aren't actually limited time or exclusive. But by presenting the benefit of your product or service in a clear way, you'll make it much more appealing to your audience and ultimately drive more conversions.
4. Be brief.
This rule applies to copywriting in general, but it's especially true when it comes to email: No one wants to read a 100-page novella about your brand. Ideally, they should be able to only read your subject line, the headline(s), and the CTA and understand what you're trying to get them to do.
Rather than making your email an intimidating wall of copy, use copy instead to tease your content. Hook your subscribers with a succinct message that leaves them wanting more, then drive them to click through to a landing page on your website for more information. Emails with a single call to action increase click rates 371% and sales 1617% (Wordstream)—and no, that isn't a typo. Keeping things focused on a single, central message will boost your conversion rates like crazy.
5. Break it up.
The reason those mindless Buzzfeed lists are everywhere these days? They're incredibly easy to scan and digest. This particularly applies to audiences who are reading on their phones—and that's over 54% of them when it comes to email. The ultra-popular list structure (you're reading one right now!) is one of the easiest to follow and engage with on a mobile device.
So keep that factor in mind when composing your emails. Format your email for people who are skimming by using numbered lists or bullet points, keeping sentences short, and making your CTA simple and to-the-point.
Give these tips a shot, and hopefully, you'll begin to see your conversion rates soar.

Kat, Hattie Mae, and Monte... hard to get a photos with all of us in it... as one of us is usually behind the camera!!
& Monte Moore came to this place in 2004.
Home of True Imagery Studio and Moorthnglass
Kat Moore has been drawing since the age of four. Self taught for the most
part since no one in her family really can draw much.
She picked up acrylic paint in the 7th grade and has continued to perfect this every time she hold's a paintbrush. After becoming a
florist and working in the industry for 12 years, Paul and Jenn... friends of Kat's asked her what she would do if money were not issue in her life.
She said paint and draw. So with a little encouragement and a chance to sit at Paul's computer helping their business out by answering
the phone...Paul showed her a computer program to draw with and Kat buried her nose in learning more about how it
works....always getting better programs ... Paul encouraged Kat to do more and eventually she stretched her
wings and move to OR doing photo retouching and artwork for Paul long distance.
Kat went to OR also to help nanny for a family of 13. She has a heart for
these kids who lost a parent to cancer...and this family
saw enough of that tragedy. The kids also inspired Kat's artwork even more as God used her hands to do some
wonderful pieces of digital art in OR too. As her talents grew so did her love for draft horses as she bought her first belgian
draft horse Kaesi. from there on seems like Kat just dove right into the draft horse world. The digital art took off in a line
of shirts...called "real Horses Weigh a Ton" with 13 designs all of a different variation of draft horse breeds. Selling her artwork
and shirts is how she ran across Monte Moore in Sisters OR at the Small Farmers Journal Auction.
Monte has been artistically inclined since a child and remembers always being
out in nature as much as possible. He grew up in
Spokane Wa and went to college here too. He was on the cross country team and spent countless hours out in the open
running everywhere. But not just being a sports nut...he was also a nature nut and alot of his practice runs took him
through the wodded areas and up along the ridges in Spokane going places that few poeple had ever been. He always
collected plants, rocks and leaves things he could study and draw or plant and nurture into an adult tree or shrub.
Something he still continues to do today and has shared that legacy with his daughter who is delighted to pick up and carry pine
cones on thier routine walks outside. Monte studied in Wales the fine art and craft of stained glass and painted glass learning
how the masters do it. Then came home to resume his teaching career in the Spokane school district. He has been teaching over
30 years in many different schools but has retired this year...from M.E.A.D. Alternative High School.
Monte is still helping out with a weekly art class for the students. He does
the most amazing work with the
kids and staff there. Its a hard enviroment for any teacher...but the impact they have on those lives is immense! Monte also volunteers at
Hattie's school Arcadia Elementary
Kat and Monte were also blessed with a wonderful little mini artist... Hattie
Mae in 2004. She is a budding artist and writer and loves to teach and share like her Dad.
This year in 2015, the Moore's are progressing to the point of having students and classes here on the farm this late spring and summer. Contact us for more information.
The Moore's will also host other artists and photographers who would like a scenic farm setting to teach a class. A nice well lit classroom with tables and stools are supplied
And lots of subject matter all around to shoot or draw from. Everything from our resident Kestrel Falcons raising thier young in our tamarack trees... to the occasional bald eagls and red
tailed hawks that frequent the area. You might even get a glimps of a black bear or young moose if your lucky as they have wandered through the grounds from time to time.

Having a good sunscreen is a necessity right now. May it be for the beach or everday, sunscreen helps us take care of our skin while we carry out with our activities.
Recently, Filipino YouTubers have been raving about this product. That was probably a sponsored post but I still decided to try it out myself.
Product description:
Belo SunExpert Tinted Sunscreen is rated SPF50 and PA++++ for broad spectrum protection against harmful UV rays. Its light tint benefits from Tone Adapt Technology that evens out your skin tone and conceals fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots. And it has Cell Protect defends against premature skin aging.
From: the sample room
I got my 10ml tube for less than 200 pesos. Im not sure if it's 150 or 199.
This product says that it should be applied with the hands. This product dries quickly but gives you time to work it in and blend it.
It doesn't feel tacky nor drying. It sets as a matte finish. Sheer coverage for this one so for me having the tint is unnecessary. If you have flawless skin then yes, but my redness still shows up.
I also saw that after wearing it for quite some time, it settles in my pores. I also wouldn't recommend this to people with dry skin because it might flake out on you.
The coverage is sheer from the start so I don't think it lasted long but I'm sure the sun protection lasted long.
It comes in a squeezy tube for both sizes. Hygienic and travel friendly.
Overall thoughts
It's an okay product, however, I will not repurchase it. I don't like that it settles on my pores. I would just use my regular sunscreen since it doesn't give much coverage anyway.

The Maiden and The Princess Trailer (2011)
Trailer for the short film The Maiden and the Princess.
During a game of catch-the-boy-and-kiss-him, Emmy, a precocious ten-year-old, kisses another little girl, Alice. Her parents sit her down and make her call the kiss 'an accident' and Emmy is left feeling isolated and alone. She's sent a fairy tale, 'The Maiden and The Prince,' by the Grand High Council of Fairy Tale Rules and Standards, to set her down the 'right' path in life. The council assigns Hammond to narrate Emmy's story. Luckily for Emmy, Hammond often alters the morals of his stories to help children learn the lesson they truly need. Much to the chagrin of the council, Hammond uses his magical tongue and manipulates the events of Emmy's story, teaching her that she should never have to apologize for being different.

I keep
trying to write an article on the possibilities of green
blue in OBC but I keep running into this problem where
the format changes, and people start playing with new
cards and stop playing with others. Here is a run
through of the available strategies employed and a
somewhat dated view of the meta game involving these
cards. Keep
in mind I'm only focusing on Green/Blue with no splash
color. The mana is too inconsistent to play more than 2
colors in OBC.
Flashback Engine:
To a lesser extent:
There is real power in using Quiet Speculation, which is very evident if you get three Roar of the Wurm. It's the equivalent of getting 3 Hunted Wumpus with no drawback and putting them in your hand. The thing to realize is that it doesn't look as insane when you cast any other spell that is listed above. Catalyst stone is more hate for your opponent's flashback than there to help you cast your spells. There is power to be abused, but not a lot of it. Grizzly Fate has made a large rise in popularity lately, but is much easier to just hard cast.
The Madness Engine:
To be able to discard:
Madness Spells:
while using mongrel or Aquameoba to pitch the spells is
just cost reduction, while using looter, Careful Study
or Compulsion gains card advantage. There is definitely
power here, but there are only 3 spells that you really
want to madness, and Basking Rootwalla is sometimes
better being cast on turn one, than pitched to a
creature later for no card advantage.
Don't forget that Roar of the Wurm or any
flashback card can work like madness at sorcery speed.
Roars and Grizzly Fate work perfectly well in a
deck with Wild Mongrel and Careful study.
Wonder and Genesis are not really Madness or flashback, but I consider Wonder the equivalent of Madness 0: You must have an Island in play, all of your creatures are unblockable, and Genesis to be a flashback spell that never gets removed. Wonder is essential to most Green/Blue decks, and I find it to be a very deciding factor in the mirror, while Genesis on the whole is too slow.
Threshold Achievers:
With all of the other abilities in this set rotating around the graveyard, getting 7 cards in there is not a problem. Remember, since this is a graveyard-oriented set there are plenty of things to do with cards after they are put in the grave
The Other Stuff:
are the only decent removal spells Green/Blue decks have
at their disposal. Upheaval
works best with Werebear to speed it up, and Aether
Burst must be played in 4's, however obvious that is.
These two spells are the most used forms of card drawing, not counting ones that require a discard. Standstill requires a different build to increase your chances of being in a winning position when it's cast. Usually people play only 1 or 2 Deep Analysis because the real advantage from it comes from flashback, and losing three life can only be done without losing a few times a game consistently.
Living Wish slows the deck down but leaves open the possibility to have a lot more answer "main deck". However the format is very well defined as consisting of very few decks, so a standard deck and sideboard may work better.
There are very few playable enchantments nowadays, but these two cards fit the bill for dealing with decks with the mass destruction common in most black decks. Squirrel's Nest has the problem of that a Rancid Earth can destroy it, where Bearscape can't feasibly be destroyed by black. If you play nest, make sure you are running 4 copies of a counterspell, preferably envelop and you will be fine. Bearscape on the other hand can run out of fuel to make more bears and should be used sparingly since having more than one in play is useless. Therefor you only need 2 Bearscapes as opposed to 3 to 4 Squirrel's Nest and 4 Envelop.
These are the counterspells that have been played in tournament winning decks. I personally believe that rites is terrible, but here is the important reason. Many people that build in Rites count on it as a discard outlet to be able to pitch Wonder or rootwalla if they don't draw a Mongrel or Careful Study. The problem is that you don't discard the cards until resolution of the spell. If you really need to pitch a wonder, and they counter your Rites, you cannot get the wonder into the grave. I won a match once because of this. Envelop is you best option, since most of the problem cards are sorceries and Circular Logic requires enough situations to be in place that it should be built into the style of deck (madness version of U/G).
Let's look at some tournament winning lists.
This is a threshold version that is very tempo oriented. Note that in the sideboard he plays Squirrel's nest and Envelop to beat black. The forest also gets brought in with the Nests so that you have enough green to support them. Krosan Reclamation is key to the mirror match where most of the time you will be battling over Wonder superiority.
This deck is the style of deck I played at worlds. It is a madness-based deck with a small number of Quiet speculations and cards to get. It wraps together the power of turn 3 Arrogant Wurm, the hard counter of Circular Logic and the card advantage of Quiet Speculation. This deck also goes through a transformation when playing against black, bringing in Bearscape, Envelop, Touch, and possibly Centaur. The Cephalid Looters are for the mirror match.
After reading this I hope that you are more informed about building your own OBC green blue deck.

Forces In Society - Fear Series
Contributed by James Galbraith on Aug 21, 2007 (message contributor)
Summary: Comparison between the worldy fears that assail us and the fear of God which brings us peace.
Forces in Society #1 – Fear - Psalm 103
By James Galbraith
First Baptist Church, Port Alberni
July 15, 2007
Text - Psalm 103
Ps 103:1 Praise the LORD, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Ps 103:2 Praise the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
Ps 103:3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
Ps 103:4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
Ps 103:5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Ps 103:6 The LORD works righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed.
Ps 103:7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel:
Ps 103:8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
Ps 103:9 He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
Ps 103:10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
Ps 103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
Ps 103:12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
Ps 103:13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
Ps 103:14 for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
Ps 103:15 As for man, his days are like grass,
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
Ps 103:16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.
Ps 103:17 But from everlasting to everlasting
the LORD'S love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children's children—
Ps 103:18 with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.
Ps 103:19 The LORD has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.
Ps 103:20 Praise the LORD, you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,
who obey his word.
Ps 103:21 Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts,
you his servants who do his will.
Ps 103:22 Praise the LORD, all his works
everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Fear is Big today.
There are fears that everyone can relate too,
like travelling too fast in a vehicle,
being the target of someone's aggression,
moving to a new city,
facing a new class and even new school in the fall.
And then there are also some fears that are pretty obscure…
Peladophobia: fear of baldness and bald people.
Chaetophobia: fear of hairy people.
Levophobia: fear of objects on the left side of the body.
Dextrophobia: fear of objects on the right side of the body.
Thalassophobia: fear of being seated.
Stabisbasiphobia: fear of standing and walking.
Calyprophobia: fear of obscure meanings
Porphyrophobia: fear of the color purple
Odontophobia: fear of teeth.
Graphophobia: fear of writing in public.
Phobophobia: fear of being afraid.
All of us deal with fear, maybe on a daily basis.
And fear isn't always a bad thing - fear of consequences keeps many of us from breaking the law, driving too fast or crossing the street in the middle of traffic.
But for too many people, fear consumes them.
Some people buy the latest fashions simply because they like them,
but others allow fear of not fitting in, or looking "out-dated",
to motivate them to buy, buy, buy – even beyond their means.
Some diet and exercise to simply be physically fit and live healthy,
but others allow fear of their appearance to force themselves to extremes.
Eating disorders can take over people's lives as they fear the effects of food on their health.
Most of us take precautions to protect our personal safety,
like locking our doors and not walking alone at night.
But others allow fear to keep them cooped up indoors for days on end,
just to make sure no one can get them,
or they arm themselves to ward off potential harm.
A friend of mine who worked Customs once confiscated five hand guns from a tourist's RV's trailer!
And sometimes fear lies at the core of some of the biggest movements in society itself.
Look at how the oil crisis of the '70's changed the way we treated our resources,
and the nuclear scare of the '80's affected how we saw ourselves as a species that held the power to wipe itself off of the face of the earth.
In the '90's we had the Gulf war and the Y2K crisis that had so many people worried about planes falling from the skies and power grids shutting down because of poor computer programming.
