Don't be over-optimistic on investment returns
Diversification best way to counter low returns
A survey shows most South Africans are expecting their investments to earn returns way higher than markets are likely to deliver.
Most South Africans are expecting their investments to earn returns way higher than markets are likely to deliver, according to a survey conducted by an asset manager.
Investors may have enjoyed good returns from global markets over the past decade, but a number of factors are likely to result in returns being significantly lower over the next decade, according to UK-based global manager, Schroders.
Schroders' global investor survey shows that more than 60% of SA investors believe they will get a return of more than 10% a year from their investments over the next decade. One in five investors believe they will get returns in excess of 20% a year.
Only 28% have more realistic return expectations of between 5% and 10%.
The survey of more than 25,000 investors in 32 countries shows over-optimism among investors is a worldwide phenomenon that sets investors up to be disappointed with their actual returns.
The Global Investor Survey says if you invested in the 1,600 shares around the world that make up the MSCI World Index, you would have earned an average return of 11.3% a year for the decade that started in 2008.
However, this average includes the good returns earned during the recovery from one of the worst market crashes in history during the 2008 global financial crisis.
Investors are expecting this trend to continue when in fact returns are declining sharply year on year and the outlook for the next decade is gloomy.
Addressing a recent conference for Sanlam's investment platform Glacier, Lesley-Ann Morgan, the head of multi-asset strategy at Schroders, said the manager expects a profound reduction in the returns you can expect for the ten years to 2028 compared to returns over the 10 years to 2018.
She says Schroders is expecting average for the past decade relative to the decade ahead to decline:
- In the US equity market from 13.9% a year on average to 7% a year;
- In the UK equity market from 8.8% a year on average to 4.6% a year;
- In European markets from 9.5% a year on average to 5.1% a year;
Similarly, returns from bond markets will also be significantly lower, except in the US where yields are already low, Morgan says.
Schroders says a combination of factors, including an ageing population, low inflation and poor productivity, will lead to a slowing global economy and share and bond market returns that will not match those of the previous ten years.
Some commentators expect economic growth in the US and the UK to be as low as 0.5% a year, Morgan says.
There will also be a number of disruptive forces, such as the unwinding of the easy monetary policies, the effect of measures designed to combat climate change and disruption from technology and automation.
Schroders estimates meeting the measures to combat global warming set out in the Paris Accord by 2050 will shave 10% to 15% off the total value of global companies, although not all companies will be affected in the same way.
Most South Africans, especially those with retirement savings, are heavily invested in the local share and bond market, with less invested globally.
Old Mutual Investment Group's MacroSolutions recently updated its outlook for local returns. Peter Brooke, the head of this investment boutique in Old Mutual, says the ''treacherous" global conditions are likely to benefit South Africa.
Low equity returns in the rest of the world and ultra-low global interest rates are likely to result in global investors buying our shares and bonds as they have become cheaper, he says.
He is expecting SA equities to return around 11% a year for the next five years, while global equities are likely to give you about 6.5% a year in dollars and possibly more in rands if the rand depreciates. A multi asset fund is likely to deliver around 9.8% a year over the next five years, Brooke says.
Many managers are advising that the best way to counter low returns from markets is to diversify across the assets classes with a manager who is able to find opportunities such as in the shares of companies able to make the most of disruption and in alternative investments like corporate bonds or private equity.

Canterbury prop Aaron Woods says the NRL's mid-season decision allowing referees to use the sin bin for late tackles will protect playmakers from injury.
"It's not a bad rule to be honest ... I've seen the ones (late tackles) on Johnathan Thurston as of late and they're pretty late," Woods told Big Sports Breakfast on Wednesday.
"You don't want to see that sort of thing. I think it's really good to protect our playmakers."
NRL CEO Todd Greenberg announced on Tuesday that referees could use the sin bin for foul play, but had also been instructed to ease up on "nitpicking" penalties.
Immortal Andrew Johns and North Queensland skipper Johnathan Thurston have vocally campaigned for bigger penalties for anyone who targets a playmaker after they have passed or kicked the ball.
Canberra's Charlie Gubb was handed a grade two dangerous contact charge for his late dive straight into Nathan Cleary's legs midway through the Panthers' 23-22 win on Friday.
Woods said the tackle was "pretty dangerous" and playmakers should be protected so they wouldn't "be out for the whole season from a little incident that could be avoided".
The prop says it is hard to get the timing right when tackling a kicker, after Cleary spent seven weeks recovering from an injury when he was felled in a tackle by Woods following a bomb.
Cameron Smith's new twist amid retirement rumours
Freddy's seen enough from Addo-Carr to believe he can make the fullback switch
Final show of the 2020 NRL season: Immortal Behaviour- Grand Final Week
"I did one on Nathan Cleary earlier in the year, sort of tackled him as he kicked it but he still hurt himself. There was no intent to hurt him," Woods said.

Paddling at Tempe Town lake
If you are looking for the most convenient place to stand up paddle in the Valley of the Sun or Metro Phoenix, look right down the street toward Tempe Town Lake. This lake was created by the (dry) Salt River and has over 2 miles of water to paddle on. It can be easily accessed from anywhere in Scottsdale, Phoenix, Tempe, or Mesa and the surrounding towns, right off the 202 Loop. You can compare this city lake to perhaps a city hike. Similar to where you want to get in some great exercise but do not necessarily have the time to drive to the lakes out-skirting the Valley. It can be considered a suitable before or after work exercise paddle. This lake has walkable places to eat, a great path for bicycling, walking or jogging, if you are doing some cross training after your paddle- or maybe a friend wants to adventure on the path and take images of you while you SUP on by. There are also several parks with shaded ramadas and facilities along the water's edge. You can clearly watch any man powered watercraft from these paths, or the Mill Avenue Bridges. Which is also a good spot for a friend to get a slightly aerial video of you paddling, and the beautiful surroundings. One of the favorite times to be at the lake is at sunset.
Launching can be done from the boat beach or marina. The lawn area, near the parking lot on the north side of the lake, is convenient if you want to set your board on the grass and park your car. Or if you prefer to just want to walk it down to the small boat ramp, it is a short distance after you park. All watercraft require a Town Lake permit purchased at Tempe Public Library or Pyle Adult Recreation Center. Note: (Riverbound Sports provides permits with all rentals).
Tempe Town Lake is also located across the street from Arizona State University, so the events and activities here are endless and happen year-round. There are all disciplines of paddling at this lake, from standup, kayak, canoe, outrigger, dragon boats, rowing and even sailing!
Meet some new friends and try the weekly exercise SUP paddles with Riverbound Sports on Tuesday (Sunset Meet up Paddle) and Fridays (Fast as Frick: fast laps) both starting at 6:30 pm, meeting at the Tempe Lake Marina. And if you have not yet decided upon a purchase of a standup paddleboard, rentals are always available.
(TIP: Watercraft should follow a counter-clockwise pattern of the lake. If paddling before sunrise or after sunset, lights are required to be attached to your board. Either a PFD or leash must be worn while SUPn. And, swimming is just for special events on the lake.)
Something fun for the family or friends is the Fourth of July fireworks that happen each year. The Tempe Town Lake Independence Day Celebration allows you to paddle out to the middle of the lake and watch the amazing fireworks above you, while you float on the water. The spectacular show is presented from the Mill Avenue Bridge.

Comparison of Growth Performance of 'Common Catfish Ameiurus melas, Rafinesque1820', Reared in Pond and in Recirculating Aquaculture System
Author(s): Alessandra Roncarati, Oliviero Mordenti, Luca Stocchi and Paolo MelottiAlessandra Roncarati, Oliviero Mordenti, Luca Stocchi and Paolo Melotti
A trial was conducted to evaluate the growth performance and survival of common catfish, Ameiurus melas. A total of 54,420 catfish juveniles (5.1 ± 1.2 g; 6 ± 1 cm) were reared in two groups: PN group, represented by 3-1,000 m2 ponds; RC group composed by 3-2 m3 indoor tanks working in closed recirculated system. In these two groups, catfish were reared at two different densities (PN=15 fish m3; RC=1,570 fish m3) for 181 days. The main water physico-chemical parameters were monitored and the main blood metabolites and growth performances were evaluated. Catfish exhibited a final mean body weight similar in the two groups (PN=142.7 ± 30 g; RC=151.5 ± 34 g). The survival rate was high for both PN (86.6%) and RC (99%). A very high stocking density was reached in the RC system (235.5 kgm3). The presence of multi-trays in the RC tanks may be helped the spec.. Read More»

A lot of people especially women are having a hard time dealing with sun spots on face. As a matter of fact, you will surely look helpless if you are not aware on the possible treatments available for sun spots. This kind of aging sign does not only appear on the face. It also appears on your back and shoulders. These spots do not appear during your youthful days. All of the spots will appear once you get older. It will reflect all the years that you spent walking under the sun. It means that all the sun exposure during your early days will all reflect on your skin once you get older.
Probably, the best way to prevent this is to stop tanning under the sun. Also, you need some sun protection creams that can help protect your skin from the UV rays of the sun. You can try looking for moisturizers that already has sun protection ingredients. Only look for creams that are made from all natural ingredients and prevent any product with chemical additives.
If you are already suffering from sun spots on face and you do know what to do, here are some of treatments that you can consider.
First – Medical procedures. If you visit a dermatologist, they will probably have a lot of different ways to remove your sun spots through medical procedures. They can also provide a good choice for you. They can suggest you to undergo chemical peel, laser treatments or dermabrasion. Actually, they can be a good way to solve your sun spot problems but there are a couple of disadvantages in considering them. One of this is the price of the treatments. Every treatment provided by dermatologists is really expensive and you will not a couple of sessions to complete the treatment. Also, there are some side effects associated with these treatments though they are only minor.
Second – Over the counter products. You can go for over the counter products suggested by dermatologists but you need to make sure that you use it properly. Most of these products are full of chemical additives so it is not often suggested to use them.
Third – Home-made or natural products. This is the safest and one of the most effective ways to treat the sunspots on your face. It is not expensive and it is very affordable. However, you must keep in mind that the effects are not immediate. You will have to use them on a daily basis to see some results after a couple of months. For home made products, you can consider making your own facial masks. On the other hand, you can also consider beauty creams made from natural ingredients. They are cheaper when compared to other beauty creams but they are more effective and safer to use. Be sure to check the ingredients before buying.
These are only some of the best choices for people who really want to remove sun spots on face.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu headed to Washington on Sunday to press his case against an emerging deal on Iran's nuclear program in a contentious address to the U.S. Congress, which he said he is delivering out of concern for Israel's security.
The address has caused an uproar that has exposed tensions between Israel and its most important ally, the United States. In accepting a Republican invitation to address Congress, Netanyahu angered the White House, which was not consulted with in advance of the invite, as well as Democrats who were forced to choose between showing support for Israel and backing the president.
Netanyahu plans to express his disapproval over a potential deal between Iran and world powers that he says falls short of preventing Tehran from having the ability to make an atomic bomb. A preliminary deadline is later this month.
"I feel deep and genuine concern for the security of all the people of Israel," Netanyahu told journalists on the tarmac, his wife by his side, before boarding his flight. "I will do everything in my ability to secure our future."
He called the trip a "fateful and even historic mission" and said he feels like "an emissary" of the Jewish people.
Tuesday's speech to Congress has touched off criticism in Israel, where Netanyahu is seeking re-election on March 17.
His main challenger, Isaac Herzog, had demanded he cancel the speech. On Sunday, a group representing 200 former Israeli security officials came out against it. The group said the rift with Washington can embolden Iran to acquire an atomic bomb faster, if it thinks Israel is isolated and less likely to attack its nuclear facilities.
Stopping Iran from building a nuclear bomb has become a defining challenge for both President Barack Obama and Netanyahu, yet they have approached the issue differently.
Netanyahu considers unacceptable any deal that doesn't end Iran's nuclear program entirely. Obama appears to be willing to leave some nuclear activity intact, backed by safeguards that Iran is not trying to develop a weapon.
Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.

There was serious drama in Big Brother House on Friday after housemates, Tacha and Mercy engaged in a heated argument leading to what appears like a physical confrontation.
It all started when Seyi called Mercy to come to the lounge so they can read Biggie's scroll.
But Mercy who had her bath came out late for the reading. This, however, did not go down well with Tacha who rained insults at her.
Tacha said, "You are a moron, remain there and don't come out. clout chaser, old woman, you keep using your body to get everything you want. You have been using Ike to get what you want. You can't stand eviction that is why you need Ike to help you."
Mercy replied, " You are very stupid, you Instagram beggar. Go and treat your body odour before you talk to me, you stink. At least, I have a boyfriend (Ike) to get me what I want what have your boyfriend done for you?"
During the argument, Tacha pushed Mercy and also dragged her weave twice, while Mercy who struggled to control her anger picked up a pressing iron but was stopped by other housemates.
This could lead to disqualification or a strike from the organizers of the show as housemates have been warned against violence in the house.

Really, boxing is not any less safe than many other sports. Your child could get injured doing anything, so boxing is a great sport for children, as well as adults.
To make sure your child is safe while boxing, you must make sure they have all of the appropriate equipment. By ensuring that they are protected while fighting that will minimize any injuries they do get, and sometimes prevent any injuries from occurring.
The second most important thing to have when children are starting out in boxing is the right instructor. This way, your child has the supervision they need to keep them safe in the ring. A fully trained instructor is a necessity to ensure that your child has a great environment to learn the basics of the sport while keeping safe.
As a parent, you should be just as involved with your child's sporting activities as they are. Being involved will always go a long way towards ensuring that they will be protected from unnecessary dangers. It is also a great way for your family to bond, while sharing your hobbies.
Boxing will be even safer for your child if they follow the rules and regulations set out by their coach. This will be a great learning experience for your son or daughter, as they will learn the rules of boxing, but also how to interpret and abide by rules in general. This is a skill that they will likely use for the rest of their lives.
Your child will develop so many other great skills from boxing. Confidence is something that a lot of team sports cannot guarantee, but is a crucial aspect of boxing. If your child has self-confidence problems then you may want to consider putting them into a boxing program.
Physical strength is another great tool that will help your child in the end. With the alarming rates of childhood obesity, you will never have to worry about your little boxer being out of shape. Strength and flexibility are key aspects of boxing. They will come in handy for many other aspects of life and sporting events your child may participate in.
With so many benefits readily apparent, why not start your child out in boxing? It can only be a positive influence in his or her life and development.

The District 5 U13 Girls soccer team was crowned the 2013 Massachusetts District Select Champions earlier this month.
The District 5 team claimed victory with hard-fought matches during the season-ending tournament on Aug. 3 and 4 at the Massachusetts Youth Soccer Complex at Progin Park in Lancaster.
District 5 coach David Swallow of Methuen, in a press release, called the win a total team effort, and credited his players with utilizing great teamwork, skill and a commitment to full field defense to win the championship over the five-game tournament.
The team included eight players from Essex County travel teams and local clubs and 12 from the North Shore United Soccer Club. The three Andover players on the team were Jessica Wang, Maddie Rhodes and Emalie Tjalsma.
Swallow said normally, this collection of girls would be fierce rivals, competing against one another for their respective town teams during the school year. For the District Select Program, the girls had to put aside any rivalries and become an efficient, skilled and competitive team with a common goal of winning the year-end District Select tournament, he said.
"We bonded well as a team," Swallow said. "This was a great accomplishment and demonstrates what girls in our local area are capable of when they give 100 percent and play selfless, team soccer."

Education is received through three formal sectors – schooling, vocational education and training, and higher education. Non-formal education also takes place outside of these institutions, for example on-the-job training in the workplace and self-directed learning.
Child care
It is recognised that early childhood education such as preschool and child care are highly beneficial for children's development and transition to school. In NSW in 2005, 88% of four year olds and 74% of three year olds attended at least one formal setting – either school, preschool or formal child care. Over half of four year olds (54%) attended preschool and 43% attended some sort of formal child care including 34% who attended long day care.
Participation in school, preschool and child care, Children aged 3 and 4 years, NSW – 2005
Literacy and numeracy
In 2008, all students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 sat national literacy and numeracy tests for the first time. Prior to this each state had a set of tests that were equivalised to national benchmarks. The most recent results available for NSW tests are for 2006. In 2006, the minimum NSW standards for literacy were not met by 8.0% of Year 3 students, 6.1% of Year 5 students, and 3.8% of Year 7 students.
The strength of the tests are that they highlight populations or regions that are doing less well. For both literacy and numeracy, there was a substantial gap between Indigenous achievement compared to the results for all students. The proportion of Indigenous students not meeting the NSW benchmarks were considerably higher than for all students: 25% of Year 3 students, 20% of Year 5 students, and 13% of Year 7 students.
Basic numeracy benchmarks were not met by 9.1% of total Year 3 students, 5.4% of Year 5 students, and 7.1% of Year 7 students. For Indigenous students, numeracy benchmarks were not met by 25% of Year 3 students, 17% of Year 5 students, and 21% of Year 7 students.

Adult literacy and life skills
Adult literacy is important for the social and economic wellbeing of the nation. The 2006 Adult Literacy and Life Skills Survey assessed a sample of people aged 15 to 74 on five scales: prose literacy, document literacy, numeracy, problem solving and health literacy. In NSW, Level 3 or above (regarded by the survey developers as effectively functional literacy) was achieved by 54% of the population on the prose literacy scale, 53% on the document literacy scale, 48% on the numeracy scale, 30% on the problem solving scale, and 41% on the health literacy scale. These proportions were similar for the Australian population as a whole.

Large Companies Increasingly Comfortable with Startups as Business Partners
A shift in mindset as firms look beyond large tech vendors to partnerships with startups
NEW YORK — Large companies increasingly are willing to work with early-stage startups and set up corporate venture capital arms as they pursue digital transformation, venture capitalists said Tuesday at an event hosted by enterprise software vendor SAP SE's startup accelerator program.
The new willingness to work with startups occurred during the past decade, in part because companies realize they can't tackle digital transformation alone, said Hilary Gosher, managing director of Insight Venture Partners, a growth equity firm that invests in software and internet companies.That's especially true when a company's digital transformation initiatives involve changing their businesses to be more customer-centric, she said.
"As they think about being customer-centric, what they do if they're honest is they look inside and say, 'We're not set up to do this,'" Ms. Gosher said at the event, in which panelists discussed issues related to startup founders and gender inequality in the technology sector. One way these enterprises consider "embracing innovation" is to think through whether to start a digital lab or a corporate venture capital division.
In the past, enterprises would only usually buy technology services from established, large technology vendors, but in recent years they've accepted the value of partnering with startups, said Ed Sim, founder and managing partner of seed-stage fund Boldstart Ventures.
He encourages enterprise-focused technology startups in his portfolio to focus on finding an enterprise company to partner with that's willing to share resources, such as engineering talent.
"We tell our founders that for them, it's not about getting customers, it's about getting partners," he said.
For enterprises, partnering with early-stage startups has its benefits too, said Jennifer Morgan, an executive board member at SAP and Bank of New York Mellon. "We can learn so much, not just about technology, but about different ways of thinking," she said at the event.
Seeing what entrepreneurs are able to accomplish with very few people and limited time really "opens your eyes when you're a big company," and sometimes teaches the company to approach problems in a different way, she said.
For companies both big and small, it's important to remember that differences in perspectives also can lead to a better approach to solving problems, Ms. Morgan said. Tackling a project and executing a strategy has been much more successful when there has been differences in perspective, she said.
"That diversity of thought and really wrestling through a problem with people that maybe you didn't think were part of the solution, it really opens your eyes," she said.
In 2017, 17% of US-based startups had a female founder, SAP executives said, citing a study by Crunchbase.
Venture capital firms are starting to realize that they need more investors in their ranks to reflect the diversity of the workforce, said Ms. Gosher, of Insight Venture Partners.
"Early stage investors need to spend more time finding and working with talented, diverse entrepreneurs, but more than that, the community of investors themselves need to change their own demographics," she said.

"Bear Ye One Another's Burdens"13. February 2013 - 9:28
"Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2). It is these words of Apostle Paul that well describe a recent event in Chicago.
On Sunday, February 10, 2013, in Chicago, a benefit concert of liturgical music took place at Holy Resurrection Cathedral of the Serbian Orthodox Church to benefit Peter Gudkov.
Thirty-seven-year-old Peter Gudkov, family man, father of two daughters, singer and soloist of Sretensky Monastery Mens' Choir of Moscow, fell gravely ill and is in need of a bone-marrow transplant, which will cost over $150,000. Participating in the event were the Archbishop's Choir of Holy Virgin Protection Cathedral in Chicago, IL, under the direction of Michael Gill, and the Branko Radicevic Serbian Cathedral Choir under Elizaveta Neskova. The concert was blessed by His Grace Bishop Peter of Cleveland, by the initiative of parishioners and singers of Holy Virgin Protection Cathedral and the support of their Serbian Orthodox brothers and sisters. Present at the concert were His Grace Bishop Longin of New Gracanica (Serbian Orthodox Church), His Grace Bishop Nicolae (Romanian Orthodox Church) and Serbian Consul General Desko Nikitovic in Chicago.

Bishop Danilo Krstic: ON DIVINE PHILANTHROPY From Plato to John Chrysostom6. February 2013 - 14:35
ON DIVINE PHILANTHROPY by Bishop Danilo Krstic
This book describes the use of the notion of divine philanthropy from its first appearance in Aeschylos and Plato to the highly polyvalent use of it by John Chrysostom. Each page is marked by meticulous scholarship and great insight, lucidity of thought and expression. Bishop Danilo's principal methodology in examining Chrysostom is a philological analysis of his works in order to grasp all the semantic shades of the concept of philanthropia throughout his vast literary output. The author overviews the observable development of the concept of philanthropia in a research that encompasses nearly seven centuries of literary sources. Peculiar theological connotations are studied in the uses of divine philanthropia both in the classical development from Aeschylos via Plutarch down to Libanius, Themistius of Byzantium and the Emperor Julian, as well as in the biblical development, especially from Philo and the New Testament through Origen and the Cappadocians to Chrysostom.


text: It's that time of the year again, time to recap my favourite wines of 2017, a year that had a huge personal impact on me. It flew by so quickly that I don't even remember which events significantly influenced the world (except for Kim Jong-un's missile craziness and Trump's rants to that). What I do remember is that I tasted some D-O-P-E wines that would make it in the top 10 life-changing list easily. Unlike the 2016 cellar picks, this year was a lot more diverse and tightly knitted to exciting stuff that happened to me along the way. As a side-note, these are not bottles necessarily released during the year, nor are the scores something you have to blindly follow. I urge you to explore, be open and enjoy whatever gems you find from these top 10 picks. Continue reading "Grape Nomad's Top 10 Cellar Picks of 2017"

It worked for me yesterday and just 5 min earlier today until I refreshed. Now I can't seem to log in as well due to the same issue as mentioned above. Hopefully this issue gets resolve soon enough before the end of tomorrow. Else, I might have to seek compensation for my lost gold from "7 days of bonus gold" as well as "Supremacy" - nothing too fancy, just the exact amount of gold and opal fragments I've lost will suffice.

Happy Friday lovelies! It's been a whirlwind of a holiday season so far. Good and not so good but you make the best of it right?
JBW has broken his leg in 4 places and required surgery last Friday so that has kept me quite busy. Regardless though, I managed to have the family over for turkey dinner and it turned out to be an absolute blast! I have to say I was sort of dreading it due to being so exhausted with JBW's leg situation but am so glad I did it anyway. There is nothing like family to get you through the hard times.
I'm now working on some new projects for the new year and I can't wait to share them with you. I also have a few big announcements for the new year but you'll have to hang in there until then!
Here's a beauty to keep you happy…
Enjoy your weekend everyone! xoxo

Visit Brussels in 3 days is not a mission impossible. It is one of the best walkable city in Europe with one of the biggest pedestrian city centre. It is the ideal city for backpackers and on a budget travellers, also the best option for food lovers.
Brussels is an amazing city, even if there are many things to visit and is the Capital of Belgium and the place where is located the European Parliament, you can visit this city in just three days. You need just a good organisation and mapping your best sightseeing.
The list of things you need to know before travelling to Brussels:
Which language is spoken in Brussels
Belgium is one of the most variegated countries in Europe, a mix of culture flow in Belgium. In Brussels, you will listen to a very mixed language. French, Dutch and German. Those are the three official languages in Belgium and then spoken in Brussels.
There are no differences between the French you will listen in France and the one spoken in Belgium, even if there are slangs and local terms making it different a bit.
The same rule is for the Dutch and the German, currently spoken in Belgium as national languages. The Dutch and the German spoken in Brussels is the same spoken in Germany or the Netherlands.
This mix of languages is because of the position of the Belgian region, it is between the three countries. Across the nation, you will listen to all three languages in a predominant way compared to the proximity to the mother tongue.
Belgium is one of the most touristic nations in Europe. You will find no problem at all to speak with locals due most of them speak English very well.
The locals will love if you can speak in their languages like French or Dutch.
Which currency is in Brussels
Belgium is in the European Union, so as other countries it has the Euro currency now used by most Western European countries. As always we encourage you to don't change your money at the local airport exchange due to the high fee. Try to go to the city centre, or ask your bank to provide some change before your travel.
It is one of the financial centres of Europe, so you will find an ATM everywhere. Every square has a point where you can get cash. In any of the major airports and train stations, there are ATMs available.
Is safe to travel to Brussels
Due to the recent security problems in Europe, Belgium becomes one of the most controlled countries in the Europe Union. Right now there are no national security advisory in effect for Belgium, even if the attention level is really high.
It is really easy to find the militaries with guns going around the city centre and the touristic attractions in territorial control actions.
How to get around Brussels in 3 days
In Brussels, you will experience one of the best public transport networks in Europe. The Belgian network includes trains, subways, taxis, buses and suggestive trams.
Brussels is really a small city, even if is rich in the sightseeing, you will enjoy the walkable city centre and if you want you can rent a bike. Brussels is a bicycle-friendly city, with a high way for the bikers.
Check how to visit Brussels in one Day
Brussels is covered by the Uber taxis network and you can get your guide for going around with city mapper, check your app store. The regular taxi fares are so expensive like in other European countries.
We suggest to don't rent a car for your trip, due the efficient public transport and the low chance to find a parking space for free. The private parking spaces are really difficult to find and really pricey.
Where to stay in Brussels in 3 days
Even if we believe in slow tourism and enjoy the cities for long, Brussels is really affordable in 3 days. About where to stay in Brussels in 3 days, you will find a wide range of accommodation at any price. You can rent an entire room on Air BnB, or go for an expensive hotel in the city centre.
As always the accommodation depends on your budget and on the comfort you would like. Without any doubt, we found accommodation even for 20$ for the night for two in a sharing house. If you are a backpackers and will go more on a budget in the city centre there are a lot of students hostels or backpackers hostel where to stay in Brussels.
The cost of a bed in a hostel it will start from 10$ for the night.
Which cities are the best to visit in Belgium
In Belgium, there is not just Brussels, but it is also Ghent, the rich Antwerp or the beautiful Bruges, but even the delicious Liegi.
From Brussels there are a lot of tours of Belgium, you can easily take a bus to Bruges or Ghent for a small price, less than 10$ each way. You can reach other cities in Belgium by train from the main station of Brussels.
How many days should I spend in Brussels and what to see
Even if somebody will think 3 days in Brussels are not enough to enjoy the city, we will encourage you to check your next flight and book it. Brussels is really worth to visit.
Try to book your next trip to Belgium thinking to visit more than Brussels. Going around other cities.
Day 1
You can choose where start your tour, depending on your arrival time. When we visited Brussels, we have left our luggage at our Air Bnb Apartment, almost 30 minutes away from the city centre by tram, we went directly to the World's beautiful and colourful squares, The Grand Palace.
Grand Palace, Manneken Pis and Everard t'Serclaes
The best attraction of your first step in Brussels is the Town Hall, an example of a Gothic building in a colourful contest, with other traditional Belgian Buildings and cobbled streets. Just around the corner of the Grand Palace, there is the statue mascotte of Brussels, the one gives everyone a reason to laugh.
You don't miss the Manneken Pis, a statue of a child who is urinating. The legend wants this kid pee on a bomb and lets it get off to destroy everything. Just on the way between the Grand Palace and Manneken Pis, there is a statue of another legend of Brussels, the Everard t'Serclaes.
Legend wants you to make wish touching sliding from the shoulder to the foot of the statue.
Visit the Atomium
If you arrive in the morning, and still have the afternoon free and clear, we suggest visiting the Atomium. Its located on Avenue de l'Atomium.
The structure was constructed for the 1958 World Fair, the Atomium has become one of the icons of the city. The night is coming, so it's the time to see the light of Brussels. You can opt for end your day at Place Poelaert, The Palace of Justice. Here you can have a stunning panoramic view of the city and over that.
Day 2
Musée des instrument de musique de Bruxelles and Jardin du Luxemburg
Always in the second day of our visit, we fill up our bags and get over till night. Its a day where we still have a lot of energy, and still are curious about the city where we are. So fill your belly at the breakfast and go directly to the Musée des instruments de musique de Bruxelles (Musical Instrument Museum), a music museum which houses over 8,000 musical instruments.
We suggest you pass from the Jardin du Luxemburg on your way to the Museum. Its a beautiful spot in the city, a good place to take pictures and post straight on your social channel.
We been there and spend almost one hour, try to figure out all possible scenario for our pictures.
There is the step going up where you can find the Museum just in front of you.
The afternoon is the time to take some rest and get a beer or two. Belgium is the Nation of the good and tasty beer, stroll around the city center and find the best beer bars in Brussels. So, lose yourself in one of the Pubs with Craft Beers.
After the afternoon rest, take the way to the lovely Boulevard de Waterloo. This is one of the main high-end fashion shopping centre street in the city. You can just pop in a chocolate shop and taste a good hot chocolate, especially if you are visiting Brussels in a cold winter.
Belgium is well known in the World for the Chocolate, the Craft Beers and Cartoons like Din Tin and The Smurfs.
Day 3
Parlamentarium and a lot of chocolate
Your last day in Brussels leave to you short time remaining, so you need to plan a short but important visit to the last. If you still have time before departure, we will suggest you take huge breakfast with a tasty Waffles with dark Belgian Chocolate (My favourite one, Alessia prefer the classic Nutella and sometimes put the strawberries).
For a quick but important visit, you can go to the European Parliament. There is a basic section called "Parlamentarium", where there is explained the history of Europe and how is the actual composition.
The "Parlamentarium" is an interactive explanation of the European Union, from the basis to the actual composition and the government. Really interesting to know the European History, grouped in a museum dedicated to showcasing Europe's History and culture.
What to visit more in Brussels
If you want to do more in Brussels there are a lot of other places to visit. We suggest joining one of the walking tour taking place in the city centre. Some of the best city tour and walking tour of Brussels starting from the main square where is located the Gran Palace.
Brussels is hosting some of the best World Heritage site and Unesco World Heritage locations. One of the suggestion to visit is mini Europe, but for it, you need a day trip plan.
If you feel to shopping go for the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, it is just behind the Grand Place, the Royal Palace and not that far from the Musical instruments museum. For first time travellers focus your itinerary on the city centre and you will have one of the best experience in Belgium, rich of fine arts, second world war history, with a lot of day tour and one day trip.
Do you have any suggestions to add to this post? Have you been to Brussels and want to share your opinion. Comment below and start the conversation, we are happy to get in touch.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — The first U.S. stamp to feature an openly gay elected official is prompting outcry from the Christian fundamentalist group American Family Association.
The group released a statement Wednesday urging members not to accept any mail postmarked with the U.S. Postal Service's commemorative Harvey Milk stamp.
"Honoring predator Harvey Milk on a U.S. postage stamp is disturbing to say the least," the press release said. "Harvey Milk was a very disreputable man and used his charm and power to prey on young boys with emotional problems and drug addiction. He is the last person we should be featuring on a stamp."
The stamp with Milk's laughing face, name and a small strip of the rainbow flag, first became available May 22 at post offices throughout San Francisco and nationwide.
Long lines formed in front of a U.S. Post Office in San Francisco's Castro District last Thursday as supporters of the assassinated city supervisor rushed to get a stamp.
Gay civil rights activist Cleve Jones was at the Castro District post office, along with filmmaker Dustin Lance Black, who wrote the 2008 movie about Milk's life and political career, "Milk."
An official White House stamp dedication ceremony was also held last Thursday to honor the first openly gay San Francisco supervisor.
The AFA called the stamp a way of pushing "the radical homosexual lobby," meanwhile, "the United States Postal Service honored a child predator at the whim of a drag queen," referencing the seven years of lobbying for the stamp by San Diego LGBT activist Nicole Murray-Ramirez.
The group, which has been listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center since 2009, issued this call to action for its members:
1. Refuse to accept the Harvey Milk stamp if offered by your local post office. Instead, ask for a stamp of the United States flag.
2. Refuse to accept mail at your home or business if it is postmarked with the Harvey Milk stamp. Simply write 'Return to Sender" on the envelope and tell your postman you won't accept it.

Disney acquiring Fox means big, scary things for film and TV
It's official: Disney has acquired the film and television arms of 21st Century Fox for $52.4 billion.
Assuming regulators allow the deal to go through (it's expected to take at least a year to close), Disney will own the rights to everything from the Avatar movies to FX's The Americans. Fox, meanwhile, maintains the rights to Fox News, the Fox broadcast network, Fox Sports 1, and the gigantic Fox studio lot in Los Angeles. One of the six core studios that make up Hollywood has effectively been gobbled up by another, the biggest deal of its kind in decades (probably since the 1955 dissolution of RKO, since by the time MGM finally disappeared, it had been ailing for decades, unlike Fox). Variety marks it as the second-biggest merger ever after AOL-Time Warner.

#RedforEd Protest Against Secretary of Education DeVos Fizzles in Arizona
A #RedforEd protest against Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos fizzled in Arizona on Wednesday.
A #RedforEd protest against Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos fizzled in Arizona on Wednesday.
Thousands have signed a petition to make NBA star LeBron James, the new U.S. Secretary of Education. This despite the fact that the three-time champion never went to college.
New reports suggest that Harvard and Yale are ignoring Federal guidelines against the use of race in university admissions.
"Rather than equip an individual to pursue whatever goal he sets for himself as part of his God-given freedom, this is, instead, the German model being pushed by misguided business interests and some state interests," she explained. "As a result, the type of education an individual would receive would be influenced by crony corporations dictating to schools the skills needed for future workers."
Students at the University of Baltimore turned their backs on Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos during a commencement ceremony on Monday.
The pro-Common Core New Mexico education secretary who once served as a staffer in former Gov. Jeb Bush's administration in Florida is no longer a candidate for assistant secretary of the U.S. Education Department, reports Politico.
The president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) says President Donald Trump's budget blueprint "takes a meat cleaver to public education."
The U.S. Education Department (USED) has released a new guide on how states can fulfill their requirement of gaining the federal department's approval of their education plans. https://twitter.com/usedgov/status/841336978926850048 Under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) – which replaced No
During every campaign stop he made last year, now-President Donald Trump assured parents he knew the education reform known as "Common Core" was a "disaster," and that, if elected, he would help to get rid of it.
U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was a guest at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Thursday, stating that she is working to "find common ground" with the teachers' unions that were vocal opponents of her nomination and confirmation.
U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos says her department's Office for Civil Rights "remains committed to investigating all claims of discrimination, bullying, and harassment" against "vulnerable" LGBT students in the nation's schools.
A resolution by the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) to invite newly confirmed U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos for a visit has been rescinded at the urging of the city's teachers' union.
Kentucky U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie says his bill that would abolish the federal Department of Education should be taken seriously because the interest it has generated means the measure could ultimately end up on President Donald Trump's desk.
Betsy DeVos announced upon her nomination as U.S. education secretary that she is "certainly not a supporter" of Common Core, even though the organizations she funded and supported through her service are avid proponents of the controversial education reform.
The Heartland Institute's senior fellow for education policy explains why newly confirmed U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos would do well to "improve her standing with grassroots groups" by first addressing local control of education before she moves ahead on school choice.
The president of one of the nation's largest teachers' unions is condemning those protesters who attempted to block Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos from entering a Washington, D.C. public school she was scheduled to visit on Friday.
Newly sworn-in U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was greeted by a group of protesters blocking the front entrance to a Washington, D.C. school she was scheduled to visit Friday.
Newly sworn-in U.S. Education Department Secretary Betsy DeVos told her staff members that, despite disagreements with others, she would be working to "find common ground" so that the department's overriding focus would be students and their success in school.
Americans from across the political spectrum are voicing strong reactions to the Senate's confirmation of now-Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.

Let's face it, there simply aren't enough hours in the day to clean your home by yourself. You have to go to work, pick up your kids from school, and make dinner all while trying to squeeze in some "me" time. Many people habitually ignore the cleanliness of their homes, after all, being busy is the perfect excuse for ignoring the most important aspect of your life– your home. A clean home isn't about curb appeal, but about your health and safety as well.
A home that is properly vacuumed, cleaned, and dusted is less likely to harbor germs, bacteria, and allergens that can exacerbate immune system problems. How to achieve that perfect clean home, you ask? Hiring cleaning services NYC residents know and trust is a good way to start. Not only are the services localized to fit your needs, but they offer some benefits that you simply can't ignore! Here's the dirty truth behind cleaning services:
1. For the right money, you can get what you want.
Most cleaning services NYC companies offer different service packages at different price points. For example, you may need a specific portion of your home cleaned, and if that's the case, a cleaning service company is more than willing to work with you to address your needs. Basic cleaning packages are highly affordable, but if you want extra cleaning services, you'll need to be prepared to spend a bit more money on the process.
2. You can say 'no' to cleaning chemical usage.
In this day and age, when we're focusing on keeping our environment clean and toxin-free, it's important that you don't clean with common household chemicals. Doing so on a regular basis introduces chemicals into your home that can affect your overall health and air quality. Many cleaning services offer the option for you to choose from eco-friendly cleaning products that are not just healthier for our planet, but healthier for you as well.
3. Signing a contract means regular visits from the cleaning crew.
Hiring a cleaning service when you think you need it can be a pain. It's easy to forget the last time you had maids clean your home, and honestly, if you have a busy schedule, the days can blur together. With that being said, dust, dirt, and grime won't discriminate so not having a cleaning service clean your home will start to show soon enough. For this reason, many cleaning services offer contracts that regular outline visits and a representative will sit down and discuss the different services you will need on a regular basis.
4. Only professional cleaners with years of experience are employed by cleaning services NYC.
When you're letting someone else handle the cleaning of your home, it's important to know that they have the right experience and will handle each home with utmost care and professionalism. Hiring an NYC cleaning service ensures that you're only going to be dealing with professional maids on a regular basis who aren't going to be happy unless your home is clean! We guarantee that when you hire home cleaners, you won't find dirt smudges, broken pottery, or cobwebs throughout your household as all maids are perfectly qualified and provide quality care and service.
Instead of letting nature reclaim your home or allowing yourself to spend sleepless nights wondering when you have time to clean your home, you should hire the right maid services. Though you may be leery of spending money for such a service, at first, you'll soon enough get comfortable and find that this service can take a heavy load off of your shoulders.

SAN ANTONIO, TX, Oct. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Biglari Holdings Inc. (NYSE: BH) today demanded an immediate response to its October 8, 2012 letter delivered to the Board of Directors of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBRL) regarding public filings and statements made by Cracker Barrel, including Chief Executive Officer Sandra B. Cochran, that emphasize designated Chairman James W. Bradford's former experience as CEO of a New York Stock Exchange-listed company. A public search reveals that Mr. Bradford has never been CEO of a New York Stock Exchange-listed company. It has been over 24 hours since Biglari Holdings sent its letter to Cracker Barrel's Board of Directors identifying this material error in Mr. Bradford's biography. We believe that Cracker Barrel has an obligation to all its shareholders to respond immediately and to inform them whether Cracker Barrel's public filings and statements regarding Mr. Bradford's purported experience are true or false. Moreover, why did the Board and Ms. Cochran believe it was important to emphasize repeatedly Mr. Bradford's purported experience as "a former NYSE company CEO?"

We are the experts in the
of company branding
We're a strategic full-service Branding Agency.
We scientifically engineer and design memorable brand identities for mid-market companies.
Our focus is to grow our clients by capturing market share and increasing mind share.
Today's consumer has more choices than ever before. To make your brand stand out from the crowd, we design your brand and messaging to reach out and grab their attention. We establish long-term associations in the Visual Cortex with stellar design and purpose-driven messaging so your brand stays top of mind.
Why do humans prefer attractive things? Brain studies have shown that attractive aesthetics can trigger the part of the brain that causes us to act. Beauty literally moves us. Much of this happens subconsciously in the Temporal Lobe, where visual and auditory signals are processed. Based on the science of aesthetics, we apply this information to create unparalleled brand appeal that attracts and captivates your audience.
Did you know that 90% of all purchasing decisions are made subconsciously? The Amygdala, the emotional center of the brain, processes information 5 times faster than the thinking mind. We're experts at influencing a brand's perceived value to ensure that subconscious decisions in your favor are a no-brainer.
What stops people from buying? Believe it or not, the biggest deterrent is the Paradox of Choice: the abundance of options. The Frontal Cortex is bombarded with around 10,000 decisions every day, so it's easy to see how the average customer can be overwhelmed. We solve this problem by using a mechanism called positive framing. This activates the decision-making center of the brain, which helps encourage customers to choose your brand over the competition.
There's no denying the influence of emotion on our experience with the world around us. The Limbic System has no capacity for language and works entirely through emotion and intuition. This part of the brain focuses less on how things work and more on why. We harness this information to create brands that appeal to the purpose-oriented, emotional mind in order to build lasting, meaningful connections with your ideal customers.

Outraged Responses to Obama Birth Certificate Reveal
Following yesterday's release of President Barack Obama's long-form birth certificate, the Internet lit up with outraged media responses.
Most vocal were sites targeting black audiences. AOL Black Voices said plainly, "But let's be real, just as with Trump's foolish assertion that Obama didn't deserve to attend Ivy League institutions Columbia and Harvard, the real issue is people's inability to accept that a black man has the top job in this country. It's always been about racists and their racism, point blank."
The Root discusses the characterization of the President by "his fellow Americans as a dangerous outsider."
"The idea that Obama 'doesn't belong' in the White House is a threat to our sense — as people of color, as newcomers, as immigrants — of being legitimate participants in the gorgeous mosaic of America. But it is also dangerous for the president, already the recipient of an unprecedented number of threats against his life," that article goes on to say.
And perhaps most passionate was a video response from comedian and author Baratunde Thurston, who added "rage" to the list of emotions he felt yesterday.
Mainstream outlets also had their say. Writers at The Atlantic, including James Fallows, commented on yesterday's big reveal. "This is not a great day for the press. For anybody, really — but maybe a tie for worstness between Trump himself and those who have been barkers for his sideshow," writes Fallows.
And David Remnick at The New Yorker tackled the issue with a powerful column titled "Trump, Birtherism, and Race-Baiting," saying, "The one radical thing about Barack Obama is his race, his name. Of course, there is nothing innately radical about being black or having Hussein as middle name; what is radical is that he has those attributes and is sitting in the Oval Office."

Prepared for an air raid
My "gas mask" for the 1940s event at Crich is finished. I wrapped a box in brown paper (apparently this is something people quite often did, as well as making other kinds of covers for the boxes), copied a label I found on Google and stuck it on the top, then attached the string to the sides.
The box is slightly on the large side and the string is attached with about four staples and sellotape each side, but it will do me for now.
Hopefully the weather will stay good on the day and not rain all over my cardboard creation.

Brain Implants & Addiction
Article Summary By Michael Estlack, Director of Connectivity
Addiction can be deadly and can have very detrimental effects on one's life. What if a brain implant could help to eradicate the disease? According to Dr. Casey Halpern, an assistant professor of neurosurgery at the Stanford University Medical Center, a brain implant might be the answer for those challenged with destructive impulsive behaviors, such as using drugs or drinking addictively, and symptoms of depression. While observing mice that gorged themselves on food, Halpern and his colleagues noticed a pattern of electrical activity that occurred before these mice ate. This electrical activity acted as an anticipatory reaction right before the overindulgence.
So how would the implant work?
The implant would be placed in the nucleus accumbens, where a 10-second shock would occur. What researchers found was that this drastically reduced the later food intake.
What about humans?
To answer this question, researchers observed a man who already had a brain implant to control his OCD behaviors. They observed the same electrical activity occurring in his brain as they did in mice. These researchers hope that we will one day find a cure for those dealing with similar challenges.
If you or a loved one is challenged by addiction and/or mental health challenges such as depression/anxiety, contact one of our experts at SHAW Center for Healing today for a free 15-minute consultation. #SHAWesome

LONDON (AP) — Britain's chief Brexit minister says Britain will be faced with a choice between a no-deal EU exit and remaining in the European Union if lawmakers reject Prime Minister Theresa May's flagship Brexit bill next month.
Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay said Wednesday that defeating the bill would leave May's deal "dead" and force Parliament to decide "whether it will pursue … a no-deal option or whether it will revoke" the decision to leave the EU.
Lawmakers are due to vote on May's withdrawal agreement bill the week of June 3.
The bill is designed to implement the divorce deal struck between May and the bloc — a deal that has been rejected by Parliament three times.
Britain is currently due to leave the EU on Oct. 31, deal or no deal.
