A few years ago, ultra-low-cost carrier Allegiant Travel (NASDAQ:ALGT) began flying to Hawaii. Allegiant's entry into this market seemed like a boon for people looking to travel from smaller cities in the Western U.S. to this popular vacation destination.
However, the budget carrier has had a ton of trouble making its Hawaii flights work. With the fleet of 757s it uses for Hawaii flights coming up for expensive heavy maintenance checks soon, Allegiant plans to stop flying to Hawaii in August 2016.
Hawaii never quite worked
Allegiant first announced its intention to fly to Hawaii in early 2010. It bought a fleet of six Boeing 757 aircraft specifically for that purpose.
It took until mid-2012 for the Hawaii flights to get off the ground. In the intervening years, Allegiant's management built up big expectations for this new market, stating that it could generate an even higher profit margin than the company's mainland routes.
Allegiant started mostly by offering flights to Hawaii from smaller cities like Eugene, Oregon, Boise, Idaho, and Stockton, California. However, the company found that travel demand to Hawaii was even more seasonal than for other leisure markets like Florida or Las Vegas.
As a result, by the fall of 2013, Allegiant had dramatically slashed its Hawaii flight schedule to just four flights a week from two of its larger markets: Las Vegas, Nevada and Bellingham, Washington (which serves as a secondary airport for Vancouver, Canada). While the cuts were initially portrayed as seasonal, some of the routes never came back.
By the end of last year, Allegiant was down to just two Hawaii routes: Las Vegas-Honolulu and Los Angeles-Honolulu. This is hardly sufficient to justify operating a separate subfleet of 757s that are only needed for Hawaii flights.
Mixed signals
Allegiant's last two Hawaii routes are big outliers for the company, which mainly flies from small cities to leisure destinations with little or no competition. By contrast, Allegiant competes with two to three daily flights from Hawaiian Holdings (NASDAQ:HA) on both the Las Vegas and Los Angeles routes. From Los Angeles, Allegiant also competes with frequent flights on all three big network carriers.
Allegiant SVP Jude Bricker mentioned increasing competition as a reason for ending the Hawaii flights, according to Airways News. However, this isn't the whole story. Through September, capacity on the Las Vegas-Honolulu route rose just 0.9% year over year. Los Angeles-Honolulu capacity increased 5.8% in that period -- but in recent months, those capacity increases have started to reverse.
Maintenance costs are a bigger issue. Most of Allegiant's 757s will be due for their "D-checks" before the end of 2016. This is an extensive maintenance procedure that essentially entails taking a plane apart to inspect all of the parts, and then reassembling it. A D-check for a 757 could easily cost around $2 million.
In this context, Allegiant's decision to pull out of the Hawaii market makes more sense. Two million dollars per plane is a lot of money to invest for planes that are only needed for two routes, unless those routes are highly profitable. Even a modest increase in competition in the next few years could have made such an investment backfire, so Allegiant will look elsewhere for growth.
Good news for Hawaiian Holdings
Allegiant's decision to exit the Hawaii market is good news for Hawaiian Airlines, which is the only airline competing on both the Los Angeles-Honolulu and Las Vegas-Honolulu routes.
Hawaiian Airlines still has plenty of other rivals in the West Coast-Hawaii market, but any letup in competitive capacity growth is a good thing. Furthermore, Los Angeles and Las Vegas are two of the carrier's top markets from Hawaii. In Las Vegas, in particular -- where there are no other commercial airline flights to Hawaii -- Allegiant's exit could give Hawaiian Airlines some leeway to boost its average fare.
As for Allegiant, it has experienced rising success operating from mid-sized cities in the U.S. This represents a big growth opportunity, because mid-sized cities can support more flights than the small cities Allegiant has traditionally served.
Meanwhile, the increasing availability of cheap used Airbus A320-series aircraft will allow Allegiant to replace the aging MD-80s in its fleet with much more fuel-efficient planes. With plenty of room for highly profitable growth in the U.S., Allegiant investors won't miss the Hawaii flights much after they're gone.

Scottish Independent Dental Firm Expanding in Perthshire after Six Figure Takeover
An independent dental firm established by an award-winning dentist has set its course for growth after buying out another dental business in Perthshire in a takeover bid worth six figures.
Infinityblu Dental Care & Implant Clinic, owned by Chris Barrowman, bought out Smiles Dental from its owners Caroline Bayles and Bruce Duguid, which has added practices as a consequence in Auchterarder and Crieff.
All current local staff and dentists in the two clinics will stay in their posts whilst they switch to the Infinityblu brand.
Infinityblu, which has recently celebrated ten years in business, has been considering further expansion opportunities for some time, and last year bought a practice in Dunkeld to add to their current main clinic in Pitlochry. This second clinic took roughly £400,000 to set up from scratch.
The next step for the firm is to take the high standard and success of the two new acquisitions and double their turnover in the next two years, as well as clear their waiting lists, describing both locations as having a lot of potential to grow even further.Join this Discussion

The New York Islanders squandered the chance to snag home-ice advantage in what was an emotional regular-season finale at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Saturday night, so the club will travel to D.C. for Game 1 of their first-round series against the Washington Capitals, starting on Wednesday at Verizon Center. Captain John Tavares and the Islanders face a formidable opponent in the Caps and superstar Alex Ovechkin, who ran away with his third consecutive and fifth overall Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy, scoring a whopping 53 goals this season.
"They're a big, heavy team," Islanders forward Kyle Okposo said. "They play a hard game; they finish their checks. It's gonna be a physical series. We're going to have to use our legs, use what got us here, and that's our speed. It's going to be a hell of a series."
Fancy stats
This stat is far from fancy, but it is a concerning one for the Islanders. The team has surrendered a goal in the final 10 seconds of a period in three consecutive games heading into the postseason. What does that tell you? Mentally, the team needs to bear down and tighten its focus. One of those goals was a cringe-inducing gaffe on the part of goaltender Jaroslav Halak, who will be a critical component in whether the team advances to the next round.
Possession-wise, however, the Islanders seem to be in good shape. New York finished among the top teams in possession metrics, controlling 52.8 percent of shot attempts at even strength, compared to Washington, which finished with 51.4 percent. That said, we must note here that three of the top 10 finishers in this metric missed the playoffs completely (Los Angeles, Carolina, Dallas).
It's also worth noting that Washington boasts the league's best power play, with a 25.3 percent success rate, which is a vital asset considering the Islanders' woeful penalty-killing unit. The Isles ranked 26th in the league, with only Philadelphia, Edmonton, Arizona and Buffalo finishing beneath them.
Gut check
Watching New York defenseman Travis Hamonic limp into Nassau Coliseum on Saturday makes me skeptical that we will see much of him this series, which could be an utterly devastating blow for the Islanders. General manager Garth Snow gave the club a much-needed makeover on defense before the season, adding the likes of Nick Leddy and Johnny Boychuk to bolster the blue line, but the team will struggle without its heart-and-soul leader on defense if Hamonic misses any time.
I still think this Islanders team has some growing pains to sort out as well, though as Okposo pointed out following Saturday's finale, the team won't be hamstrung by nerves as they were for their first-round series against the Pittsburgh Penguins back in 2013.
"That experience helps us. I don't think we're going to have that shock in Game 1 like we did in that series. You know, we spotted them a game," Okposo said. "You can't do that during a series."
Meanwhile, the Caps have plenty of veteran leadership with a lineup that includes defensemen Karl Alzner, Brooks Orpik, andMatt Niskanen and forwards Troy Brouwer, Jason Chimera, Brooks Laich and Nicklas Backstrom.
Ovechkin will be a force to be reckoned with coming off another stunning season in which he captured the league's goal-scoring title and tallied a franchise-record-setting 25 power-play goals. The Islanders know they will have their hands full with No. 8 and not just because of his offensive acumen.
"Not only does he score goals, but he's physical and he does a lot of things [other than] just put the puck in the net," Tavares said.
Tavares is no slouch, either, of course, as the 24-year-old phenom finished just one point behind Dallas' Jamie Benn for the league point-scoring title. Tavares set a career high with 38 goals and 86 points, including a two-point effort in Saturday's finale. In his first playoff series two seasons ago, Tavares chipped in with two goals and five points in six games against the Penguins.
Secret weapon
Though the spotlight will be shining on both Tavares and Ovechkin, this series could very well come down to goaltending with both Halak and Braden Holtby having career seasons. Neither of the two were afforded much rest during the regular-season slate, however, so it will be interesting to see how the wear and tear might impact the two both mentally and physically once the playoffs begin. Halak enters the postseason on a downturn. Though the 29-year-old Slovakia native posted a record-setting 38-win season, he has surrendered four goals or more in two of his past three starts. Holtby was also ridden heavily by coach Barry Trotz, leading the league with 73 games played, including a record-setting 25 straight starts heading into the playoffs. No other goaltender saw more shots, with Holtby facing 2,044 by season's end. The 25-year-old finished fifth in the league with a 2.22 goals-against average and seventh with a .923 save percentage.
The skinny
The Islanders are one of the most electric, captivating offensive teams to watch, and there is plenty of room for growth for a squad ripe with young talent, but they play too loose, and that will ultimately be their undoing. By comparison, this Capitals group is a hard-nosed bunch that plays a more complete game.
"The Capitals are going to take a piece out of them," one Eastern Conference executive said of the Caps' physical brand of hockey.
Tavares and Ovechkin will be a riveting showdown between two of the game's most dynamic stars, but assuming the series comes down to defense and goaltending, the Caps have the definite edge.
Expect this to be a thrilling ride. Capitals in 6.

Last week at RSA, various crypto stars, including Don Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Whitfield Diffie, have discussed security research trends in a panel, and the conclusion seems to be that quantum computing and AI are not the real priority with the Internet of Things. The priority is, or should be, to invest in better programming.
If the resources spent on interactive security, such as firewalls and antivirus and the like, were spent on improvements in the logical functioning of devices and a big improvement in quality of programming, we would get much better results
Whitfield Diffie
Close to 15 years ago, I was working on a static analyzer for Java ME, and still hoping that mobile devices could avoid the viruses and malware that were already plaguing PCs at that time. Well, that could have happened, but Symbian was already going bad. Smartphones nailed it: mobile would have malware.
The good thing with IoT is that there has been no suspense. Botnets have come very early in the game. The consequence is that everybody seems to assume today that connected devices will necessarily be ridden with bugs and vulnerabilities. That is a major factor pushing towards preventive security measures, because we now assume that there are problems everywhere.
The reason for my mobile optimism came from smart cards and Java Card. These things have been attacked, but malware has never been a problem. The reason is very simple: smart cards are very far from open. Only their provider can load software on them, and they make sure to protect this privilege.
The good news is that most connected devices are just as closed. New software can only (legally) come from their developers. And like smart cards, their software is often relatively simple, simple enough to deploy a few good security measures.
The bad news is that the current botnet epidemics is the consequence of blatant negligence in the development of connected devices (mostly because security is an externality). There will be bad devices.
In the end, we have three complementary approaches to addressing connected device security:
- Fight negligence. Enforce regulation to make vendors liable for the security problems they cause through their negligence.
- Deploy preventive measures. Deploy tools that detect attacks, mitigate them "live" as they happen, and learn about the attacks for the future.
- Make devices better. Spend more on the design and development of devices to reduce security vulnerabilities and make devices harder to attack.
We will need all three, for sure, but the priorities are difficult to set. It's easy to guess that my preference goes to making devices better, and I am quite happy to hear that Whitfield Diffie leans in the same direction.

LOS ANGELES — Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Opening Day at historic Dodger Stadium in Chavez Ravine. Let's get ready for Dodger baseball!
For 29 teams, the season begins in late March. For the Dodgers, it's the first pitch of Game 1 of the NLDS. On Thursday, the man who delivered that fastball was righty Walker Buehler, who led L.A. to a smooth 6–0 victory over the Nationals.
Nothing the Dodgers have done to this point matters if they don't win the World Series. We said that in 2017, when they won 104 games and lost in seven games to the Astros. We said it in '18, when they won 92 and lost in five to the Red Sox. We say it so often that when a reporter broached the topic with manager Dave Roberts on the eve of Game 1, the skipper smiled. "I knew that one was coming," he said.
The season won't be a failure if it ends without a ring, Roberts said cautiously. "But," he added, "Our only goal is to win a championship."
Just ask Game 2 starter Clayton Kershaw, who doesn't even know how long his career has stretched but needs no help to recall his playoff tenure.
"It's a special thing to get to go to the postseason seven years in a row and nine years out of—however many years I played," he said before Game 1. "I realize that you don't get this opportunity very often, to try to win 11 games. So, [I'm] grateful, but also maybe with each passing year, maybe a little bit more sense of urgency."
The early rounds of the playoffs mean so little to the Dodgers that they handed out Cody Bellinger bobbleheads to the first 40,000 fans through the gates. What is this, a Monday in August? The usual postseason national anthem singer, Keith Williams Jr., did not appear; instead Charles Jones performed. Players noted that the flag seemed smaller than usual. There was no flyover.
This is the burden of playing for the perennial runners-up. It's been 31 years since the Dodgers last won the World Series, which is almost as far away as the playoffs feel on the first day of spring training. We have to do this again?
Roberts acknowledges the difficulty in motivating players when the season seems its most interminable. "When you're sitting in July and you're thinking about trying to win a World Series," he says, "It makes July and August and September—you get disinterested." He tries to preach consistency: Win this game.
The Dodgers have done that very well. According to FanGraphs, the last time L.A. had less than a 99% chance of making the playoffs was May 18. The team last relinquished first place in the division on April 11. It finished 106–56, 50 games above .500 and 21 games ahead of second-place Arizona. In lieu of a real opponent, Dodgers players had to find motivation from within the organization.
"I'm not looking at the standings to see where the Diamondbacks are," says reliever Ross Stripling. "I'm looking at Tony Gonsolin's stats in Triple A."
Even after the halfhearted bobblehead distribution and pregame ceremony, Thursday felt like an extension of the regular season. Buehler sparkled for six inning, baffling hitters with his slider and sending them back to the dugout with his four-seamer. Three relievers combined to hold Washington to one hit. Second baseman Max Muncy, 18 months after the A's released him, drove in three runs. The Dodgers padded their lead with a pair of eighth-inning home runs, including a pinch-hit shot by 21-year-old rookie infielder Gavin Lux, in his first postseason plate appearance. Los Angeles displayed, as usual, why it is the favorite to win the pennant, the favorite to have a third straight shot at glory.
Still, the mood after the game was subdued. The players showered. They ate dinner. They headed home. Game 2 of the NLDS was due to start in 21 hours. Game 1 of the World Series was due to start in 19 days.

Despite the good fortune of being surrounded by some of Naperville's best adventure and sporting opportunities, like TopGolf across the street and the 245,000-square-foot CityGate Centre beginning construction soon just down the road, residents of Monarch Landing senior living community in Naperville don't have to set foot off their property to engage in a healthy, appropriately challenging, and undeniably entertaining fitness routine.
"We take fun in fitness very seriously!" said Monarch Landing fitness specialist Shannon Denny. A former exercise science major, Denny knows well the power of play in a fitness routine and the immense emotional, as well as physical, benefits of letting go and laughing a little – or a lot – while working out.
Beginning April 2, residents will take part in a nine-week Monarch Meta-Fitness incentive, whereby they will follow the Monarch butterfly's metamorphosis model of three weeks to hatch eggs, three weeks of caterpillars, and three weeks in the cocoon. "The challenge is in doing a certain amount of workout minutes per week, as the butterflies grow," said Denny. She will also be purchasing a butterfly kit in hopes that they will hatch at the same time the fitness challenge ends, and residents will release them.
"What's On Tap" is a monthly class featuring a certified practitioner of the Emotional Freedom Technique, a mind-body-spirit therapy which involves tapping on certain meridians of the body to relieve stress, anxiety and unresolved emotional issues. "It's a sort of vibrational therapy," explains Denny, that residents do in Monarch Landing's chapel for a meditative, spiritual atmosphere.
On April 19, Denny and residents will poke fun at – and take charge of – a well-known line in a class called "Help, I've Fallen…And I Want to Get Up by Myself," which focuses on balance, fall prevention, and strategies to get up safely from the floor.
Programs with names like Drum Fit (which has participants drumming rhythmically to upbeat music on large ballast balls), Play Fit, Happy Hikers, Core and More are just a few of Monarch Landing's ongoing offerings, as well as a folk dancing class and country line dancing. There are also plans for a pickle ball class this summer.
For Denny, not being athletic or a "fitness person" is not a barrier to encouraging residents to get on their feet. In fact, she welcomes the challenge of getting and keeping people interested in being as fit as their ability and mobility will allow. A beloved instructor among residents and staff, Denny does her homework when it comes to researching the latest programs and innovative ways to get and stay fit.
"We're always trying new things, and what better way to engage people than to have fun while we're at it?" said Denny. "I want to make our fitness program safe, effective and fun. Those are my three main goals!"
It seems she's accomplishing them, and then some.

Hurting, Helping & Healing
As long as people are un-healed they will be hurting. To hurt is to suffer in some fashion.
The cause of hurting is a belief in what is NOT true. A belief in separation for instance. A belief that "I am not enough, there is not enough, God is not enough."
As long as there are people who are hurting there will be a need for helping.
The activity of helping brings comfort to those who are hurting. It also builds self-esteem and dispels selfishness in those who help.This is because they are duplicating the nature of Spirit, the Comforter.
Once healing has occurred the need for helping has come to an end. Healing is the highest form of helping.
The activity of healing is the revelation of Truth, for example that there is only one Power, that we are all one with it and that as such, we are already connected to all we need to be healthy and happy.
To be a healer you must BE unselfish and HAVE high self-esteem. This means that you must BE detached from the activity of your personality and HAVE an awareness of your oneness with God.
When people are hurting you can be where the action is by helping those in need, OR you can be where the answers are by healing through revealing the Divinity that is within those who are hurting.
Helping is charitable giving based on compassion. Healing is gracious giving based on Love.
True healers may sometimes be perceived as being unsympathetic by those who are hurting. This is because they will not agree with the false beliefs of those who come to them. For instance, Jesus never did social work (helping). In fact, one of the reasons he was crucified was that he would not help the zealots who were hurting for a fight with the Romans. Instead, he engaged in a ministry of healing based on the Truth of Love. Even though he healed the sick, cast out demons and raised the dead, he "only" preached the Gospel to the poor.

'And now, time for something completely different!'
I've just always wanted to say that.
Glencoe Skyline, the abridged version; I did a not-that-long (by ultra standards!) but somewhat hilly run. I had to pass a vetting process to make it to the start line (climbing, scrambling and mountain running experience)
I averaged almost 20 minutes per mile, or 3 mph. There was nearly 600ft/ mile (>100m/km) of ascent, and a distinct lack of 'runnable' terrain, unless you are a mountain goat (I am not). I ate a lot, drank more – mostly from streams (yes, it's ok, I survived) and finished 6 seconds under 11 hours, 11th/24 ladies, 78th/142 finishers (180 starters).
33 miles, 16,000 ft. (51 km, 4750m), a grade 3 and a grade 2 scramble. Some 'character building' moments in the rain and fog. The course may be flagged, but a trail race this is not.
There were outstanding views, lots of rocks and a few bogs. I even saw a spectre! It seems in this instance my good weather dance worked and saved all the rain for this week; for those starting the cross country season – I don't apologise at all!
And since my original post about this, some 'frequently asked questions', answered!
No, it isn't a knife edge and we weren't at risk of 'falling off ', however yes, you do require climbing experience. The climbing is not technically difficult, but you need to be confident on 'moderate rock climbs' with no ropes or rock shoes in any conditions. There are sections where a slip or trip could be serious and you need to be competent here, but more seriously, participants cannot get 'crag-fast' (where one becomes too scared to move), which can then become more dangerous for themselves, other participants and those who would need to rescue them.
No, there weren't queues on the scrambling sections (for those 'in the know', particularly referring to Curved Ridge), at least where I was in the race there weren't – but I suspect with only 180 starters and the run over the WHW at the start (not flat) that few people had to wait. The mountain safety team were very good at ordering people to wait until the top to overtake! There were after all a further 25 miles to do so…
Yes, it was hard!
Yes, I found something that tired me out. I even took (nearly) a week off afterwards.
Yes, it was fantastic and I got lucky with the weather, the race taking place towards the end of a period of high pressure (an hour or so of rain, some atmospheric cloud and generally mild). The views were spectacular, all captured on my internal camera.
Yes, despite some comments of 'don't you have any more clothes with you', I do feel the cold! But really, it was rather mild. I put a Buff on at one point (yes, my hat was in my bag!).
No, I might not do it again, I'm not in the habit of doing things twice – but I'll still be back, and I would absolutely recommend the races (hard sell from someone who thinks £10 is a lot for a fell race!). The event is well organised and the money is spent where you want it – on mountain safety teams, maps, proper catering… I find racing really quite stressful, but rather enjoy setting out the courses and standing around in the rain annoying participants by ringing cowbells and shouting 'honestly, only a few more hills to go…'

National cyclo-cross champion Roger Hammond plans to ride the Evans round of the London cyclo-cross league on December 21 at Dunsfold Aerodrome.
Hammond, who is set to join the new Cervélo Test Team as of next year, said, ?If I just train, train, train it?s only numbers. Whereas if you can get out and do a little race, it?s a little test and the opposition in the cyclo-cross world is all very similar.
?You can see from my results at the start of each season I?ll start with a 6th or 7th and then move up, hopefully by the time of the nationals?.
Coming just two weeks before the national ?cross championships, the race will be a key form guide for the major favourites, with Arctic?s Jody Crawforth also planning to ride.
A £79 million deficit in the Olympic funding is set to see 2012 void of some of Great Britain?s Olympic teams.
Funding grants are to be split in to three tiers, meaning elite programmes will be hit hard. Each sport has to provide value for money and after amazing success in Beijing, it isn?t hard to believe that cycling is one of three sports looking to get an increase in funding.
Being identified as genuine medal contenders in 2012, cycling will be supported to field a full team, whereas the likes of hockey, basketball, fencing are facing funding cuts.

This page is about the monthly data from the BLS on U-3, also known simply as the unemployment rate.
6 Aug 2014.
The unemployment rate rose from 4.4% in Mar 2007 to 10.1% in Oct 2009, but has been in a declining trend since, and now stands at 6.2%.
The unemployment rate usually quoted is technically U-3, the most restrictive of several unemployment measures, including only those who have looked for work in the last four weeks. Long term, peaks usually come at the end of, or following, recessions, and can be anywhere from 6% to 11%. Within a long trend in one direction a tick of 0.1 or 0.2 in the opposite direction is common.
Clippings below covered through 2 Dec 2009.
Recent local extrema (7 May 2010) 4.4% hit several times in late 2006 and Mar 2007. 10.1% in Oct 2009.
US unemployment background (11 Jul 2009) Most reported unemployment statistics are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Department of Labor. All the BLS unemployment data are from the Current Population Survey, a monthly survey of a probability sample of approximately 60,000 households, conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the BLS. Data are collected by personal and telephone interviews. Response is voluntary, but only about 4% refuse. Roughly speaking, the BLS divides the population into the "Employed" (E), the "Unemployed" (U; must have looked for a job in the last four weeks), the "Marginally attached" (M; looking for a job but not in the last 4 weeks), those not looking for a job at all (N), and the institutionalized. The unemployment rate usually reported is U-3, including just the Unemployed (U / E + U). There is also a broader measure of unemployment, U-6, which includes the Unemployed, those working part-time for economic reasons (i.e. wanting full-time; PTER), and the Marginally attached; these are all the people who are looking for full-time work but are unable to find it (U + PTER + M / E + U + M). There is one other statistic of interest, the "Not employed". This includes those who are not looking for work (NLFW; so U + M + NLFW / E + U + M + NLFW). The survey questions and the definitions have changed over time. Probably the official unemployment rate has been pretty stable over time but, strictly speaking, current data is only comparable to data back to Jan 1994.
2 Dec 2009. Reuters.
"Goldman Sachs 2011 forecast would be an absolute disaster for Dems. James Pethokoukis"
[The GS forecast:]
"The key features of our 2011 outlook: (1) a strengthening in growth from 2.1% on average in 2010 to 2.4% in 2011, with real GDP rising at an above-potential 3½% pace in late 2011; (2) a peaking in unemployment in mid-2011 at about 10¾%; (3) extremely low inflation – close to zero on a core basis during 2011; and (4) a continuation of the Fed's (near) zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) throughout 2011.
That said we see risks that could upset these markets. On the one hand, we might be underestimating the vigor of the economic recovery, and therefore the pressures for Fed tightening. In addition, surging asset prices and worries about a "bubble" could prompt Fed officials to tighten before such a move seems warranted on real-economy grounds. On the other hand, the economy (and the markets) could struggle under the weight of credit restraint for small businesses, weakness in commercial real estate markets, or fiscal tightening, especially by state and local governments."

…And the summer holidays have begun. I'm sure those of you who have already booked your Cornish holiday cottage are beginning to gear up to wind down. But don't forget to pack your trainers along with your wetsuits and flip-flops as next week will see Falmouth in the grips of Zestifal, a celebration of healthy living and sports taking place throughout Falmouth all next week.
Whether you're a water baby, a budding tennis champ or an X-Games thrill seeker the Zestifal festival will have something to tickle your fancy. Falmouth's open spaces from The Moor and Events Square, to Kimberley Park and Gyllyngvase Beach are going to be transformed into 'have a go' sports zones with activities running between Saturday 25th July and Sunday 2nd August. Now, that's a healthy way to start the summer.
Kicking off proceedings on the 25th July is a pirate themed fun run and a performance from the amazing Swamp Circus on The Moor. Over on the Events Square there will be martial arts taster sessions and all sorts of tennis themed fun, which will be taking place all week.
For those who prefer their sports to take place on wheels, Carrick Dirt Bike School will be holding bike skills sessions in Kimberley Park on July 27th and there are Street Cycle Races and skate ramp demos on Sat 1st August and Sunday the 2nd.
Thursday 30th July is Family fun Day in Kimberley Park with circus skills workshops, dance lessons, cheerleading and a whole host of events, just in case your children didn't get enough of sports day at school.
Down at Gyllyingvase Beach there will be Scuba Diving taster sessions, offering a free chance to peek under the sea with the Cornish Diving School, as well as WESUP paddleboarding. There's also the opportunity to get competitive with TOUGH ENUFF obstacle courses and a family race day.
The rough and tumble sport of Roller Derby will be making a brash appearance on August 2nd. For those of you who haven't seen an event before it's a great spectator sport with real edge of your seat action.
Zestifal is going to be a great alternative to all the food and music based festivals that happen at this time of year, with a real chance to get involved and active, burning some of those holiday calories. Here at Cornish Holiday Cottages, we've always wanted to try our hand at Scuba diving and have booked in for a taster session – it's a great way to explore all those hidden shipwrecks around the coast.
For a full list of events and sessions there's a handy flyer from the Zestifal organisers which you can find here (http://www.falmouth.co.uk/search/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ZestiFAL-Pullout-Guide.pdf) There are lots of things going on that we haven't mentioned; have a look and start your holiday off with a bit of a kick.

For the patenting of one idea, found an existing granted patent which is slightly similar, though seems to not cover the entire idea.
One aspect though is not so clear whether it will be an issue or not. It has to do with a vague description in an independent claim, followed by two dependent claims with specific description. The structure is as follows:
- (Independent claim): X uses a plurality of Y
- (Dependent claim): The method of claim 1, using two of Y
- (Dependent claim): The method of claim 1, using three of Y
Further claims do not have higher numbers for "plurality". I am interested in larger "pluralities" and from the background description it does not seems evident that the authors had this specific approach in mind.
What are the concequences of this for my patentability? Could the effect of the limited specification of plurality (to 2-3 of Y) in the dependent claims be interpreted as the authors having it in mind, or would it not be patentable becuase the independent claim protects for this?

Boss Zagstruk
Posted by Unknown
After starting, getting sidetracked by Dawn of War II, restarting, stopping to get ready for my step-daughter's open house, restarting yet again, and probably 15 - 20 hours of total time working on him: Zagstruk is finished...for the most part. I have a few minor details to finish up (a decal on a wing, a couple parts that need the colors blended at the seams, seal the paint...), but in my grandest George W. Bush moment I'm willing to call him finished even with some work left to do.
I'm pleased with him. I'm surprised how hefty, and how large he is. I mean I knew he'd be heavier since he was metal, and I knew he'd be larger...but he's substantially larger than I expected.
I tried some new techniques, mixing paints, using some washes, I still did some dry brushing, but I also used my detail brush to highlight some of the highs and lows in the details as well.
The final push to complete him came at my buddy Steve's painting party. Not many could make it, but those of us who did all accomplished something. Jason (of Bob Waaagh! fame) is working on terrain and he completed his sacrificial pool. Steve made headway on several of his Space Marines. I got there late, and spent probably 5 1/2 hours on Zagstruk. I'm glad he's done - his was the first miniature to exhaust me - but now I have a boat load of catching up to do on our 400 point challenge. I have to finish my boyz, I have to paint my Nobz and Stormboyz. I have a Warboss to paint...and while it seems a lot....I'm loving every minute of it.

Keirin x Jinsei ("Cycle Race x Life")
Keirin x Jinsei ("Cycle Race x Life")
A photobook by Japanese photographer Masayoshi Sukita, whose commercial and portrait photography (most famously of David Bowie, YMO, David Sylvian) has earned him worldwide cult status.
The photobook "Keirin x Jinsei" was born out of a TV commercial series which employed Sukita's cycle race photography. In his dynamic yet clean and simple images, Sukita captures the aesthetic appeal of a highly energetic sport mostly known as a betting opportunity in Japan.
Accompanying the images are sentences and thoughts on the sport of cycle racing (in Japanese) by the authors and artists Michihiko Yanai, Shizuka Ijuin, Atsuo Nakamura, Kazuki Tomokawa and Sukita himself.

Money at call and short notice with the discount houses.
Money at call is the main reserve that banks draw on if they are short of cash.
The most liquid of the market loans are money at call and short notice lent to the discount houses.
Money at call is money which can be withdrawn at only a few hours' notice.
They pay a slightly lower rate of interest on money at call than they earn by discounting bills.
The discount houses provide an important service to the banks by allowing them to hold extremely liquid assets (money at call) which nevertheless earn interest.
If the commercial banks are short of cash they will recall some of their money at call or short notice from the discount houses.
Cash flow for this purpose is provided by overnight and short-term 'money at call' lent by the banking sector.
For, it requires banks to keep money at call with the discount houses to a minimum of 2% per cent of their eligible liabilities.
To do this they obtain money from the banks by borrowing money at call and short notice and by selling them bills.
We have seen earlier that the banks were able to substitute other liquid assets (money at call, commercial bills) as the supply of Treasury bills contracted.
These reserves included balances with the Bank of England, money at call, bills of exchange and government bonds with less than one year to maturity.
The fact that banks hold a number of fairly liquid assets, such as money at call, bills of exchange and short-dated bonds, makes it difficult to identify a simple liquidity ratio.
The discount houses will thus try to economize on the bills they offer to the Bank by, say, offering a higher rate of interest on money at call, and thus encouraging further such deposits from the banks.
They borrow from the banks for as little as a few hours' notice of recall by the banks (money at call), and lend to the government, local authorities and firms for typically three months (bills of exchange).
If £1 billion of Treasury bills are sold to the discount houses, the discount houses will borrow money at call from the banks, or sell bills to the banks, to pay for these Treasury bills.
Thus although the Bank of England has been obliged to restore the amount of cash it had withdrawn from the system, there has been an equal and opposite decrease in bills plus money at call held by the banks.
If, for example, there was excess demand for short-term loans (like money at call) and excess supply of money to invest in long-term assets (like bonds), short-term rates of interest would rise relative to long-term rates.
At the same time, if discount houses ran the risk of borrowing at a new higher MLR they would try to borrow more money at call and would be prepared to pay a higher rate of interest to do so.
The discount houses would then be obliged to pay whatever level of interest was required to prevent banks' demanding money at call, i.e. that rate of interest on call money which persuaded banks not to use this route to increase their balances at the Bank but to forgo instead their intention of increased lending.

The highest quality of ingredients used can be found in our premium range, called HFC.Read more Hide
HFC means that the ingredients selected for this dog or cat pet food recipe are sourced from the same food chain as humans. The same quality ingredients are also used in other products, depending on the product line.
Its absence from the label means that the ingredients used are not classified as identical to human food ingredients, rather as dog and cat pet foods. Almo Nature does not use discarded animal parts in any of the products, even though they are allowed by law.
At Almo Nature, veterinarians, technicians and nutritionists work hard every day to ensure that the brand's foods are consistent with the values expressed and with our quality assurance.Read more Hide

Consolidated net profit 2018 – Euro 9,846,219 destined to Fondazione Capellino for Euro 5,616,000 as dividend, and the remaining part allocated to reserves.
On June 10, 2019, the Agenzia delle Entrate responded positively to the request for ruling submitted by Fondazione Capellino on November, 2018, concerning the proper and certain tax classification of its activities. On June 28, 2019, Pier Giovanni and Lorenzo Capellino signed the act of donation, with retroactive effect, of the profits made from January 1, 2018, in order to distribute to Fondazione Capellino the first dividend already in July 2019.
Almo Nature Benefit spa is 100% owned by Fondazione Capellino, an independent philanthropic non-profit organisation. The allocations to reserve are a choice consequent to the objectives of investment necessary to maintain and develop the company over the decade; they are shared with Fondazione Capellino, sole shareholder since June 28, 2019.
In 2019, the main objective of the activities has been the alignment of the company and its foreign subsidiaries to the values and positioning of the Fondazione, summarised in the new statute, as well as in the new organisation chart and in the work processes that will gradually become recognisable also from the outside. Almo Nature has become one of the five Fondazione Capellino projects; its purpose is that of producing high-quality cat and dog foods, and supporting all the other projects of the Fondazione with its profits.

Drone businesses are readying for take-off in the state in part due to a training school on the North-West Coast.
Local entrepreneur Andrew Davies ran his first certified drone operators course in Sheffield last year, and has been inundated with enquiries for his next courses.
Among those wanting to become licensed drone operators are real estate agents, wedding photographers, miners and police.
Some want to set up business and others want to add to the services they offer. One graduate has set up a small business offering drone inspection of mine stopes.
Mr Davies, who trained seven people in what is thought to be Tasmania's first accredited drone operator course, said he loved helping people and wanted to share what he knew.
"I'm helping people into the industry, giving people more opportunity," he said.
Commenting on the increased presence of drones in towns and cities, Mr Davies said it was difficult for police to enforce possible drone crimes, such as filming people at home.
"You have to get permission to fly on private property," he said.
"There's nothing stopping anyone getting a drone and flying anywhere. Unless it crashes you can't get data from it. But there are basic CASA drone laws, like you can't fly within 30 metres of people and you can't fly at night or beyond the visual line of sight."
Mr Davies said agencies were trying to adapt. For example, airports already had 'geo-fencing' which meant a drone trying to launch within 3.3 nautical miles of an airport wouldn't take off.
"It's a data fence. It blocks a certain geographical location."
Geo-fencing was used for VIP visits in cities, or for areas around police stations, for example, but private properties couldn't yet set them up.

Mike Young can't coach length, and the lack of it limited Virginia Tech last season. He stated as much after the Hokies' 74-63 loss to Florida State — an ACC program known for its notable size.
"I would love to throw the ball into a 6-foot-9, 6-foot-10 kid and have him turn and score. I can't... We don't have that facet and that hurts. When you have one you can sling the thing into and they throw it back out and force a long close, that is helpful."
Getting bigger has been the biggest recruiting focus in Young's short time in Blacksburg, and to the delight of many, results are starting to pour in. The Hokies signed freshman center John Ojiako last season (6'10") as well as Wofford transfer Keve Aluma (6'9"). The loss of 6'7" Landers Nolley to the transfer portal provided Young another scholarship spot, and an opportunity to add to the front court.
The Hokies rounded out their 2020 recruiting class with the commitment of David N'Guessan, a 6'9" power forward from Baltimore, MD.
And he put it best, "They need length."
The 247Sports Composite ranks N'Guessan as a 3-star (0.9101) power forward. By the same metric, he ranks as the No. 6 overall player in Maryland for the 2020 cycle, and the No. 39 PF nationally.
The Mt. Zion Prep big-man held offers from VCU, Washington State, and George Mason, among other programs. His commitment bumps the 2020 Hokie class to 19th in the nation, 5th in the ACC, with an average player rating of 0.9477.
What's so exciting about N'Guessan, though, is how he uses his length. N'Guessan is more of a face-up offensive player that can stretch the floor. He has guard skill and can shoot, which creates a matchup challenge for defenders.
"He can handle the basketball," said Mt. Zion head coach Rodrick Harrison. "He can pass the ball with either hand over either shoulder. He can score at all three levels."
"To me, I think he's a big guard. He can play that 4 spot but his ability to run an offense and make plays at that 4 spot is similar to what a guard can do."
That's a hunch why Young believes N'Guessan can play in the ACC. He fits the stretch 4 role that the coach loves to use along with a more traditional center at the 5.
"[Coach Young] said that I would really fit into the school's culture and that I was an ACC caliber player and I fit into their system really well," said N'Guessan. "My ability to drive and get into the lane and then make a play for myself or my teammates really impressed him."
From Harrison's perspective, Virginia Tech made a lot of sense for N'Guessan because it's not only a chance to play at the highest level, but evolve his game too.
"[Coach Young] has a track record of not only developing his guys but also winning," said Harrison. " My biggest concern always was to make sure you go somewhere where you could continue to develop. A guy your size with the skillset you got if you go to the place that's going to help you and get the best out of you, you have a chance to play as a pro one day."
Harrison knew N'Guessan had the natural talent to play high level college basketball. It was only a matter of time and experience.
"The skill level was never the problem," said Harrison. "Just the understanding of the speed of the game and understanding how to be effective at all times. He always had the skill level he could always handle the ball he could always shoot, and he could always pass. It just takes some time to get used to competing on that level a lot."
It also didn't shock Harrison that more ACC or Big East schools from the area didn't come knocking on N'Guessan's door.
"The ACC is known to have those heavy bigs," said Harrison. "So you look for those guys that are already 220lbs. True big men. A lot of school's outside of those ACC schools are starting to evolve into that stretch 4 spot; a guy that can make plays on the perimeter but also has the ability to score inside."
In Young's system, the 4 has responsibilities to defend like a big, and also at times run the offense as a big guard. For instance, the drive and kick is a key to any successful college basketball offense. Last season, it was mostly Wabissa Bede who did that. Although, Bede wasn't much of a threat to score in the paint once he got there. N'Guessan, on the other hand, can put bigger defenders in uncomfortable situations off the dribble with his ability to score and pass in the paint.
Without Bede on the floor, the offense struggled to get the ball moving and create open shots. Nolley was able to create some offense with the ball in his hand acting as a ball dominant guard, but his best offense was perimeter shooting and isolation in the mid-range. That's what N'Guessan can bring to the table that Tech didn't have last year. Length that can matchup defensively as well as create offensively. Couple that with his ability to rebound, and he fills in a major missing piece to the puzzle.
For Harrison though, one of the best parts of N'Guessan's game will never show up on film.
"The energy he brings. He's a constant supporter of the team," said Harrison.
"He constantly reiterates what the coaches are saying. He constantly tells his teammates 'hey, let's keep going'. He holds them accountable and does it in a great way. You'll sometimes watch him play and say 'man, he should've taken that shot.' But then you realize a few possessions later that he was just trying to get other guys involved and into the game. He knows he can get that shot anytime but he needs to get these other guys going if we're going to win. Those types of things don't show up in a stat sheet or you can't see on film, but he thinks like that."

Feds Better Have My Money! HB-1249 Passes State Senate
DENVER – In an effort to ensure that the federal mitigation disbursements from the Anvil Points oil shale project begin flowing as soon as possible to impacted Western Slope counties, House Bill 1249 was passed through the Colorado State Senate today in a unanimous vote.
These funds were owed to the counties of Garfield, Rio Blanca, Moffat, and Mesa, stemming from federal oil shale activities on the Western Slope that date back nearly a century. A portion of these royalties were withheld by the federal government in order to fund the clean up of the Anvil Points Federal oil shale research site.
For a decade now, long after the clean up has been concluded, the federal government has held onto approximately $18 million of excess revenues from those royalties. But now, thanks to efforts by Colorado's federal representatives and State Senators Ray Scott (R-Grand Junction) and Kevin Lundberg (R-Berthoud), that money will finally be reaching those counties.
"This has been an issue I've been focused on for nearly a decade," said Senator Scott. "While I am excited to be able to see this issue finally reach resolve, I'm disappointed that these four counties were disregarded by the federal government for so long. Thankfully, we have some great people working 24/7 for the people of Colorado and we made it happen."
While the federal government had announced the release of these funds by the end of March, 2018, HB-1249 was needed to ensure that the funds were properly allocated between the four counties, in accordance to the original royalty agreements. Garfield and Rio Blanca Counties will both receive approximately $7.2 million. Moffat and Mesa Counties will receive approximately $1.8 million.
"For these rural counties, every dollar matters, and that's why I was very happy to see House Bill 1249 pass unanimously through the Senate this morning," said Senator Lundberg, the Senate sponsor of the bill. "Ten years is too long, but hopefully these funds can finally go towards some pressing needs in these rural communities."
House Bill 1249 now moves to the Governor's desk for an anticipated signature.
