One child or two: Will China's new population policy impact the housing market?
|In October, the Chinese government announced that it will ease its 35-year-old one-child policy to allow all couples to have two children. The new policy is expected to provide tremendous stimulus to mainland's housing market as allowing households to have a second child is expected to boost the country's average family size and thus housing demand.
According to the National Health and Family Planning Commission, the policy change is forecast to bring 3 million more babies to the country per year. Based on the per-capita living space of about 30 sqm in China according to market sources, the policy is expected to boost an extra housing demand of approximately 90 million sqm every year.
If this is the case, three to four-bedroom flats, which are generally for upgrading purposes, will then be in high demand in order to accommodate households of an increased size. Developers are expected to supply more such housing units.
Large flats, particularly those in areas with a concentration of schools and universities, are expected to be increasingly sought after, boosting their prices. In addition, the secondary housing market may also benefit from the increase in relocation and upgrading demand.
Although the policy change may not provide an instant stimulus to the housing market, it is expected to gradually reshape the demographic structure and residential market on the Mainland in the longer term.

That is not a bug. You trade income for Raw Production bonus, +1 per Slave Route.
Changed to 2% per route, which is very meh.
Indeed, I get + 2% to Raw Production for Slave Trade Route on the planet initiating the trade route (Drengi).But why is the Trade Route Value reduced from 29 to 23?In the tooltip, the Trade Planet Incomes increased from +2.30 to +3.83, and the Route Length is reduced from +6.90 to +2.76, why?
Per tile bonus reduced by 55%.
It does not make sense, the Route Length has not changed.The trait is supposed to give a bonus not a "penalty".Per tile bonus should go up, not down:Basic Trade Route bonus < Luxury Trade Route bonus < Slave Trade Route bonusOr be added, if the player gets several ideological traits:Basic Trade Route bonus + Luxury Trade Route bonus + Slave Trade Route bonusOr I missed something?
They do not stack like that. Newest takes over.
I've never been very clear on the slave trade ideology bonus. Luxury routes make complete sense to me, but not so much the slave trade. I don't mind them not stacking, but I'd love a breakdown of what actually happens (mathematically) with a slave route.
Is there a way, by modding, to have bonuses added and not replaced?If it is not the case, it should be invented.

Sexism row after school put boy into isolation for wearing earrings as mum says "they're not just for girls"
A furious mum has accused a school of sexism after her son was taken out of his class and placed in isolation for wearing a pair of stud earrings.
Callum Nisbett was told he had to take his small stud earrings out when he arrived for class at St Peter's Catholic School in Solihull - even though they were the same size and style that are allowed for girls at the school.
The 15-year-old said he was told he could not wear the earrings "because he was a boy", reports Birmingham Live .
When Callum and his mum refused, the teen was put into isolation and told he could only return to class after he'd taken out the earrings.
His mum Sharon Richards, of Marston Green, said: "Earrings are not just for girls - allowing only girls to wear them is sexist!"
"It's wrong. My daughter had the same earrings and was never told to take them out.
"I spoke to the assistant head teacher who told me it's not because they're the wrong earrings, but just because he's a boy.
"I said 'can you hear yourself?' He said it's school policy.
"I've checked the school policy and it says girls can wear gold studs but it doesn't say boys can't.
"I am absolutely fuming and astounded at the fact a secondary school in this age does not recognise gender equality.
"I have been told that I am free to complain but until then he will be placed in isolation and ultimately may be excluded from school."
Callum has just started Year 11 and his mum is concerned he might fall behind in his GCSE work as a result of being isolated from his peers and only being set worksheets by his teachers rather than attending actual lessons.
But she's adamant that the school's policy is wrong.
"I was told I needed to be responsible as being put into isolation he could miss out on his GCSE work," said the mum-of-two, who works as a school teacher.
"I said so you mean he could fail his GCSEs if he doesn't take out his earrings? And the assistant head said yes.
"In this day and age, it beggar's belief.
"Both of my children attend St Peter's and they are fully compliant with the school uniform always.
"To be told that during his most important year of school, my son will fail his exams because he has chosen to wear 'school compliant' earrings is absolutely out of order and a complete disregard for his education."
Ms Richards says both girls and boys are allowed to wear earrings at the school where she works.
"This has been going on for two weeks, since he went back to school after the summer holidays," she said.
"We made sure they were the correct size for school.
"Callum just wants to leave them in and rightly so.
"I've told him he may have to take them out whilst we sort this out because I am responsible enough to know what will happen if he misses his lessons.
"But this is sexist, it's in the Equality Act. They're doing PSHE lessons at school about it at the moment.
"I've been told that if I take this to the governors, the school is likely to ban boys and girls from wearing earrings to school."
Callum was threatened with isolation at the end of last week.
Today he went into school wearing just one tiny stud, which he offered to cover with a plaster.
His teachers put him in isolation but after BirminghamLive got in touch, he was allowed back into his class.
Mrs Marie Murphy, headteacher at St Peter's Catholic School, said: "Our policy regarding the wearing of stud earrings will be reviewed by our governing body in light of the recent occurrence and the pupil concerned is now back in class."

Teen Says Western Psych Employee Risked Life To Protect His
Dustin Grey, 16, Inside Elevator At Western Psych When Shooting Occurred
PITTSBURGH -- A teenager told Channel 4 Action News a hospital worker risked his own life to protect his during a deadly shooting at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic of UPMC in Oakland on Thursday.
Dustin Grey, 16, told Channel 4 Action News' Sheldon Ingram he was seated in a wheelchair while in an elevator with clinical personnel when he heard gunfire.
"I heard really loud gunshots over and over," said Grey.
And then the elevator door opened after reaching the first floor.
"I saw a guy with a big gun run past me. I didn't want to scream because I didn't want to draw attention to myself," he said.
Grey said one of the employees threw him to the floor of the elevator and used his own body to shield the teenager.
"He told me to stay down," said Grey. "If he wouldn't have done that, I probably would have been dead by now."
Pittsburgh police identified the shooter as John Shick, 30, of Shadyside.
Police said Shick, armed with two semi-automatic handguns and wearing a tan-colored trench coat, walked through the front entrance of Western Psych and started shooting at 1:40 p.m. Thursday.
Police said the shooting left two people dead, including the gunman and 25-year-old Western Psych employee Michael Schaab.
Six others were also injured in the shooting, including a University of Pittsburgh police officer who was grazed by a bullet.

Grassy settled, in 1953, in an emblematic building in number 1 on the Gran Via in Madrid. Gran Via. The building, marking the beginning of the street, was designed in 1916 by the architect Eladio Laredo Carranza, following the typical eclectic style of that time, which included many decorative elements with architectural highlights such as feminine figures over the doorways as well as ceramic panels some of which were designed by the artist Daniel Zuloaga. The owner of the lot, financier and friend Luis Ocharán Mazas, commissioned him to design a luxury residential building. Because of the pronounced triangular shape of the plot, the architect conceived a V shaped building consisting of two independant wings joined by an entranceway which acts as a passage connecting Gran Via and Caballero de Gracia streets, leaving a central patio. The vertex of the V corresponds to the street corner and the architect creates the illusion of a ship's bow, ending in a rotunda and a circular pavilion above. For decades the ground and first floors were occupied by the famous Café Sicilia Molinero and its tea room.
Café Molinero, circa 1940, Gran Vía 1, Madrid. Future premises for Grassy jewelry shop.
It was on these premises, renovating the interior but maintaining the original structure, where Alexander Grassy decided to establish his new jewelry store. Until then it reflected a neoclassic French style with abundant mouldings and decorative garlands. Manuel Ambrós Escanellas was the architect commissioned and he eschewed the baroque style and variegation to focus on quality materials, good proportions and understated use of colour. All the materials used were of national production from marbles to terrazzo flooring, Italian style stucco, metal elements (bronze and brass covered iron) paint and lighting. This includes the eight metre shop window overlooking the Gran Via, the largest made in Spain until that time. As part of the brass elements used in the interior adding some brightness to the premises is the remarcable access and stair railing with a curved and winding design contrasting with other decorative features. The premises also boasted the first automatic doors in Spain a boast of technical perfection. The large canopy was installed adding character to the facade, with decorative mouldings and star points which contain neon tubes for lighting. This lighting enhances the dark green granite and light green porphyry facings and jambs on the facade. The building has a basement floor which houses the Antique Clock Museum. The rotunda's plaster coated cupola ceiling is decorated with gilded mouldings. Because of its relationship to the twelve hours of the clock, the zodiac is present as a decorative element both inside and outside the rotunda on the floor and the ceiling.

In honoring an outstanding educator each year, Baltimore County Public Schools celebrates its more than 9,000 teachers who make a positive difference in the lives of our students.
Crossroads Center student Abby Lawson is just a few weeks away from graduation, and she credits her English language arts teacher, Kristen Nielsen, for helping her get there and being her inspiration.
"Unfortunately, not every school can have her, but I was blessed with her, and everything she's done for me," Lawson said.
Nielsen, a champion for all her students, was named the 2019-20 BCPS Teacher of the Year at a ceremony Wednesday night.
Nielsen is in her second year as a teacher at Crossroads, where she teaches Grades 9 and 12. She is also an Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program teacher and a member of Crossroad's equity team.
"Kristen Nielsen does whatever it takes to assist all her students," BCPS Interim Superintendent Verletta White said. "She has dedicated her career to not just doing all she can to teach others but serve as a powerful advocate for equity in public education."
Nielsen, who resides in Middle River, is in her 16th year as a Baltimore County Public Schools educator. Previously, she taught at Eastern Technical High for 11 years, Deep Creek Middle for three years, and Chesapeake High for one year. She earned bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and a reading specialist certification with a focus on adolescent literacy at Goucher College.

Jeffrey Toobin suggested on Wednesday that decades of watching Fox News had turned Attorney General William Barr into a supporter of President Donald Trump.
CNN's chief legal analyst made the claim during an "Anderson Cooper 360°" panel discussion about Barr's expected release of a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible Trump campaign collusion.
Maggie Haberman, the White House correspondent for The New York Times, suggested that Barr didn't handle the release of the Mueller report summary well because he'd been out of the political media realm "for a very long time."
Toobin acknowledged that was a "very plausible scenario" but then offered up his own theory about Barr.
"...He's spent the last 20 years watching Fox News and he's become a real Trump supporter," Toobin said. "And he's like everyone else in the Trump administration."
Barr's behavior was "not that of a geriatric, it is that of a partisan," added Toobin, who on Tuesday predicted that the Fox News "echo chamber" would spin the report as "a vindication" of Trump "regardless of what the 400 pages say."

Reverting Back From 325 Number
suki300me posted a topic in Ask for AdviceGuys, I found myself an original petrol S2 Land Rover that originally came with 8 Sri plates. But the guy who owns it recently had it converted to diesel and had the number changed to 325- Is there any way to get the old number back if I convert it back to petrol? This car has had a lot of character and with this number its all gone
EV Conversion KitHi Guys, Though this topic is not the type that can answer directly, I appreciate if anyone can add something with contacts or contents, really appreciate it. I was looking at EV Conversion kits on internet where we can buy one and install in to a car or jeep. The problem is that, I don't find anyone doing it in Sri Lanka or has done it as a project. (Couldn't find) For instance, look at this kit. Though it's expensive and has 4 motors, same will come much cheaper with 2 motors. But lack of knowledge and experience will waste money and time if one is going to do it. So, hopefully if you are a mechanical / electrical engineer or even auto electrician that has something to say about, please post a reply. This is just a start of gathering some details about it before going to a practical installation. Thanks so much.
How much does it cost minimun for conveting.. how long usually does it take.

I have few problems with the current engine and would like to enhance/upgrade the ride with conversion or new engine.

Front - Drum To Disc Conversion - Mitsubishi J44 (4Dr5)Guys, Good day ahead! I got the front wheel brakes converted from drum to disc of my jeep and the pics attached below. The known issue of 4DR5 Jeeps which is the inability to be stable by the time of applying brakes because of the fact that the shoes engage to the drum at different intervals. So the result is the vehicle to move left or right suddenly when the brake applies. When Speeding at 80Km/h or so, it gets worse because there is possibility of facing an accident. The issue was solved with the disc brake conversion and now it feels the difference while braking specially at the moments said before.

SID & IEEE Joint Student Chapter Seminar: "Light Extraction of OLED Display by Microstructured Film Attachment" By Dr. Jiun-Haw Lee
Wednesday, June 8, 2016 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM
CREOL Room 103
CREOL Room 103
Dr. Jiun-Haw LeeGraduate Institute of Photonics and Optoelectronics and Department of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University
In this talk, we used different micro-structured films to improve the light extraction (LE) from an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) for display application. Different micro-structures and OLED thin-film stacks were deigned and fabricated for optimizing the LE efficiency. For display applications, not only the LE efficiency, but also the image quality should be taken into consideration. After the optimization of pixel layout and the micro-structure, we can improve the LE efficiency of an OLED display with almost indistinguishable image blurring.
Dr. Jiun-Haw Lee received the B.S.E.E., M.S.E.E., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering in 1994, 1995, and 2000, respectively, all from National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan.From 2000 to 2003, he was with the RiTdisplay Corporation as the director. Since 2003, he joined the faculty of National Taiwan University in the Graduate Institute of Photonics and Optoelectronics and the Department of Electrical Engineering, where he is currently a professor. His research interests include organic optoelectronic devices, display and lighting technologies, and solar cells.He has co-authored over 100journal papers, over 300conference papers, and over 50 patents.

Tips to Take Care of Your Motorcycle
Your motorcycle is your precious pride and joy. It's that adventurous toy that helps you live life vicariously and without a care. As a motorcycle owner, you're free and life is good, especially if it's a Harley that you ride. But, without a little extra TLC than you'd give you vehicle, your motorcycle may succumb to tragedy far sooner than it should. Don't let this mishap occurs when protecting your motorcycle is simple. Use the tips below to keep your motorcycle running efficiency for longer.
Change the Oil
Regular oil changes protect the motorcycle's engine and keep the moving parts protected. It's one of the most important services you can perform on your motorcycle to protect its life expectancy, performance, and its efficiency, too. Old oil becomes sludgy and won't protect the engine the way that it should. Schedule or perform an oil change every 3,000 – 6,000 miles.
Read the Owner's Manual
The owner's manual is the motorcycle owner's bible. It has pertinent information inside that helps keep the motorcycle running smoothly and efficiently for many miles ahead. Check it out to learn what it says.
Opt to use Motorcycle Storage
Affordable motorcycle storage wellington fl protects your bike in the cold winter months or at other times when the bike won't be used for prolonged periods of time. Use the storage unit to protect the bike from damage and danger and prolong its lifetime and performance.
Keep an Eye on the Tires
Tires can dry rot if the motorcycle sits in storage for prolonged periods of time or outside in the weather. Tires also lose tread as they're driven. Inspect the tires every time you plan to take the bike out for a ride. Good tires are an essential component to a safe and fun ride.

80 new Oliver-branded products are launching in Shell from January 31, despite the fact that pork pies and crisps are the only acceptable emergency foodstuff to buy while travelling. Who on earth, when faced by all the various treats within a petrol station, and outside of the normal conventions of meal times and food choices, opts for a sandwich?
Perhaps they're for people trying to get ripped on bread and vegetables, as Jamie is particularly proud that his Shell Deli range has more fruit and veg in it than rival sandwich and on-the-go brands; so expect to loads of weird crumbly sandwiches with lumps of vegetables in them, like the new "Smoked cheese & slaw spicy chipotle chicken" which will be an utter nightmare to eat while driving without getting all over your suit trousers.
And yes, there is a quote from Jamie, to be read in your best internal Jamie Olive impression voice: "Food-on-the-go is going to become a far bigger, more normal part of everyone's busy, modern lives – so it's essential we make it more enjoyable through better-quality ingredients and exciting flavours. My pledge is to keep listening to what Shell's customers want, keep improving standards, and be as useful as I possibly can be for Britain's busy motorists." [Shell via Talking Retail]

22nd August 2019
Lymington rounded off the main HDARA season in style with one last victory at BTC's annual regatta, which had been moved to the calmer water of the river Itchen due to the weather forecast.
Proving they operate best when they are under pressure, Lymington's four scullers arrived at Coalporters Rowing Club and their Northam Bridge based venue with hopes to see out the campaign on a high.
All eyes were on youngster Ellie Potter, who already had one novice sculls win under her belt, to see if she could produce another top two finish. She progressed into the final with relative ease, beating ever-present Southsea sculler Bryony Reeve and Shanklin's Rebecca Debenham in the heat.
Once there, Ellie faced category favourite Pip Hiscock, from BTC, who had reached the higher Junior scull semi-finals earlier in the season and dominated on flat water at Itchen Regatta. However, the Lymington sculler produced her very best performance of the season. She had been loaned a very nice single scull from Poole, so a big thank you goes to them.
With a near-perfect course in lane one on the way down, Ellie kept herself composed and level with Hiscock for the first leg. She then produced a good buoy turn and this, coupled with a mistake from Hiscock, allowed her to escape with a crucial four length advantage.
Ellie then had to work hard as Hiscock began to charge and cut down her advantage, digging deep in the final 100 meters to see out the late sprint of the BTC sculler to hang on for just under a length victory (pictured, courtesy of Paula Williams, HDARA). Not only did this secure her promotion to Junior status, it also secured Lymington the runner's up spot in the Ladies Novice Sculls championship.
Lymington also had Livvi Bull, Alex Barnes and Sam Botting in action in the Junior Sculls categories. Both Livvi and Alex had the misfortune to draw the two eventual winners in their categories in the heat.
Although it ultimately ended up being a tough season for Livvi, who finishes this year as the Ladies Junior Sculls championship runner up, she produced another improved performance against champion Maddie McGregor-Ritchie in a straight head-to-head. Although McGregor-Ritchie was being a little bit polite, Livvi was slightly closer to her than Louise Florence, Southampton, was in the final. Had fastest loser been in effect, Livvi could have made an appearance in the final but she should still be pleased with her efforts.
It was a similar story for Alex in the Men's Junior Sculls. He was beaten by about four lengths by Southsea's Elder, who went on to win, but he kept the Southsea man on his toes for most of the race. Jonjo Findlay, Newport, was a similar distance behind Southsea in the final, so Alex can be pleased with his pace and may have reached the final with a different draw.
Sam Botting, who is still novice status, competed at the higher junior scull status in place of the absent Richard Wadsworth. Sam had what seemed to be his best scull of the season and, in only his fourth race, wasn't too far off the pace of his established junior scull opposition against Findlay and Joel Smith of Ryde. Hopefully Sam will be able to continue sculling over the winter and earn himself a few race wins before too long.
Following the conclusion of the regatta, the HDARA confirmed that Lymington had won the Masters Over 40 Fours Championship, for the second consecutive season, and will represent the association at September's South Coast Championships. It was also confirmed that Lymington had secured the runner's up spots in the Ladies Junior and Novice Sculls championships, courtesy of Livvi Bull and Ellie Potter respectively, but Richard Wadsworth missed out on second overall due to Southsea's win on Saturday.

On stage in 1995 The Mighty Mighty Bosstones paid tribute to The Toasters by stating that if it wasn't for The Toasters they would not be there. The Toasters were at the forefront of the third wave ska scene which spawned such acts as Reel Big Fish, Goldfinger, Less Than Jake and No Doubt amongst others. Still going strong after thirty years of touring they were tonight playing The Borderline in London.
The Toasters only had one support act tonight; this was London ska band The Kubricks. I knew absolutely nothing about this band before I walked down The Borderline's steps but my gosh I was in for a treat. I absolutely loved The Kubricks. They played a style of ska clearly influenced by legendary bands like The Specials and Madness but there was a fresh modern twist on it. As you would expect from a ska band the music was fun and bouncy and the band really seemed to enjoy playing their songs, which made the crowd react positively. They threw in two crowd pleasing covers of Outkasts Hey Yah and Lady Gaga's Bad Romance as well as some brilliant original songs of their own, my favourite being Skallywags. The Kubricks are definitely a band on the rise; see them as soon as you can.
After The Kubricks finished their highly entertaining set it was time for New York's via seemingly everywhere else The Toasters. There aren't many gigs I go to these days where I feel like a youngster but this was one of them, it dawned on me that The Toasters are actually older than I am having formed in 1981. It's crazy to me that they have been going for so long because the music doesn't sound dated in the slightest.
Opening with the song Dog Eat Dog from the 2002 album Enemy of the System The Toasters had The Borderline skanking almost immediately. Although the songs are not really known amongst most pop music fans, to people who love ska music they are true classics. Whether it's the up-tempo Eat Side Beat or Don't Let The Bastards Grind You Down or the slower numbers like Run Rudy Run or Decision At Midnight every song is loved and sung along to with a huge amount of joy and massive smiles. Front man Robert "Bucket" Hingley looked as if he was having the best time playing his songs and I have decided he may well be the coolest man on the planet. Something I think makes a band fantastic live is when they can turn a song you thought was okay to being brilliant when you hear it live. This happened to me a lot at this gig, and I love The Toasters songs anyway but hearing them played live was something else.
Here's to hoping The Toasters can play for many more years to come.

Amazon, Amazon Prime, Brianna Hildebrand, Disney, IMDb, Morena Baccarin, Rotten Tomatoes, Ryan Reynolds, Stefan Kapicic, The Less Desirables, TJ Miller, X-Men
a/perture cinema, the Official Movie Sponsor of The Less Desirables, presents The Less Desirables Movie of the Week, Deadpool (2016), starring Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, T.J. Miller.
Per IMDb: "A fast-talking mercenary with a morbid sense of humor is subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers and a quest for revenge."
Wade Wilson (Reynolds) is a bad arsed mercenary that just won't shut up. He dispatches his quarry with extreme prejudice and I do mean, extreme. He meets the woman of his dreams, Vanessa (Baccarin), a woman who is tough as nails, just like Wade and just as beautiful as she is tough. He meets her at a shady underground bar that caters to mercenaries and other ne'er-do-wellers. At said establishment, they have a "dead pool" where the patrons of the bar place bets on when certain mercs will die. The bartender has a lot riding on Wade.
One day, as Wade and Vanessa are about to slap nasties, Wade keels over. It turns out he has cancer that has spread throughout his body. Word gets around to a secret company that says they can cure Wade of this cancer. Wade meets Ajax and Angel Dust, who turn out to be torturous a-holes and give Wade a hard time, which he, of course, smarts off to them about; insulting them, indeed. The company isn't necessarily looking to help Wade but to make him an indestructible soldier for their bidding. Wade doesn't know this and reluctantly agrees to go through with the procedure. Ajax injects Wade with a mutation and because each person's DNA is different, they don't know how it's going to turn out. They deprive Wade of Oxygen which makes the mutation accelerate and it turns out, he becomes enhanced with strength and healing abilities. Sounds good right? Well, the bad part of that is it permanently scars Wade's entire body. He ends up destroying the lab he was "made" in and sets out to find Ajax to get him to reverse the damage done to his body. Does he get Ajax? Does he go back to the way he was? Can he ever face Vanessa again? You'll have to watch to find out.
It's no secret that I have a love for comics and comic movies; I owned a comic store for a bit. But, I have to say for the most part, the later batches of superhero films have been let downs or not lived up to hype. This one, had many starts and stops along the way to production but then it happened and Ryan Reynolds became a producer of the film in addition to playing the "merc with a mouth," Deadpool. I have always loved Deadpool. He had his healing factor, just like Wolverine, he was pretty awesome in a fight and he had the wit of Spider-Man magnified by 30. Add in vulgarity and for S's & G's magnify that by 100.
Reynolds plays this part perfectly. The action was good, the script was good, the acting was good. The special effects are fun to watch. We get Colossus (voiced by Stefan Kapicic), albiet all CGI, and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (played by Brianna Hildebrand) from the X-Men to help Wade fight against the "bad guys." You certainly have to have a fair amount of suspension of disbelief for this to work and when you've done that, this is a really, fun film to watch. The violence is over-the-top. The jokes are nasty. The language is beyond vulgar. But, the fun? It's all worth it for that. I was laughing hard throughout most of the film and 3B loved it as well. I can't believe Disney signed off on something this lewd but I'm glad they did. I thought it was a great film, really. Oh, and the complete annihilation of the fourth wall, that doesn't hurt either.
Rotten Tomatoes has it at 84% Fresh with an Audience Score of 90%. IMDb rates it at 8.1 stars out of 10. I saw the film on Blu Ray, a friend let me borrow it, but you can watch it free on Amazon Prime with an HBO subscription. That probably means you can find it on HBO and you may be able to find it on demand, as well. I really liked it and I'm rating it 4.75 stars out of 5. Have you seen it? What would you like to read/hear me review? Let me know.
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!
"Now, I'm about to do to you what Limp Bizkit did to music in the late 90s." – Deadpool/Wade Wilson

Banking System: Definition and Compounds
A lot of students apply for a degree in finance knowing absolutely nothing about the field. Luckily, I got your back starting with one of the essentials – banking system. By definition, it is a number of institutions connected into a network that provides financial services for people and businesses (companies, firms, organizations, you name it).
Banking system is responsible for intermediation between those who need money and those who have money to deposit. It's also the interest-based entity, gaining profit from the interest rates their clients give them in return for using their functions. Some of them are: payment services, mortgages, loans, deposits, investments, currency exchange, etc.
The wellbeing of the banking system of a particular country is very important for the health of its economy. This includes not only the work of the banks but also insurance and financial companies, and other institutions that in one way or another are responsible for the flow of money.
Main Types of Banks
There are three types of banks:
- Commercial;
- Investment;
- Central.
Essentially, these are two types (commercial and investment banks) regulated by the third (central). They all perform different functions and are crucial parts of a well-working banking system.
Commercial Banks
Commercial banks are the closest to the general public, as they are managing deposits in different currencies, money withdrawals, and various kinds of loans. The latter are usually short-term and given out to owners of small businesses or regular people for personal needs.
Investment Banks
Investment banks are responsible or financial operations on a larger scale. Its specialization includes managing acquisitions and mergers, underwriting, intermediation in the financial affairs between two or more businesses, etc. Some institutions work only in a certain field of business or only with a certain type of transactions.
Central Banks
Central banks specialize in maintaining and correcting monetary policy and inflation. Their responsibilities also include the stability of the currency of their country, as well as money supply as a whole. At some level, these banks regulate the financial situation of the state, as well as the affairs of all other banks, no matter their specification.
Banks can be of a brick-and-mortar or online basis, and both are widely used nowadays. While the latter provide lower fees and higher interest rates, they are considered less stable and trustworthy by some. However, profitable rates and fees, as well as the overall convenience of using a certain bank are the main factors influencing a client's choice.

Other board members also sworn in
Elsa Maxey
Re-elected school board trustee Susan Hohnbaum is the new President of the Fort Bend ISD board for the 2011-12 school year. She was among the officers elected by fellow trustees at a regular board meeting.
Hohnbaum, previously the board's vice-president, who was re-elected for another three years this month, has served on the board since 2008. She takes over in place of former board President Sonal Bhuchar. Other trustees elected to serve as officers are Marilyn Glover as vice president and Jim Rice as the board's secretary.
Both Bruce Albright and Patsy Taylor, newly elected board members for Position 4 and Position 5, respectively, were sworn in at the meeting. Albright replaces Daniel Menendez, who was the incumbent and was not re-elected. Taylor replaces Laurie Caldwell, who did not seek re-election.
The school board will be adopting a budget for the next school year on June 13. It will reflect reduction in force adjustments. In March, the school board approved a resolution declaring financial exigency due to significant projected budget reductions in state funding for education. A public meeting on the proposed school budget and tax rate, proposed to increase by two cents, will be held on June 7 at 5 p.m. in the Board
Room of the district's administration building, 16431 Lexington Boulevard, Sugar Land.
About the proposed tax rate increase, which she indicates is a preliminary proposed rate, FBISD Chief Financial Officer Tracy Hoke said it is "due to an increase in the debt rate from $.30 to $.32 which is necessary because of an increased debt payment obligation in the upcoming school year." Hoke said that it is a preliminary proposed rate and that the actual tax rate will be voted on later in September after the final certified values are received from the Fort Bend Appraisal District.

Kiffin brings different feeling to USC practice
After just four practices, there is no question Lane Kiffin is running things a bit differently than Pete Carroll.
Practices, while still up-tempo, are more intense. Players touch every line in sprints. If someone is out of line or makes an unforgivable mistake, that player runs a lap, regardless if it's Matt Barkley or a walk-on receiver.
Not everyone is allowed in practices either. Unlike in the Carroll days, when pretty much all you had to do was show up with a photo I.D., security is more noticeable and enforced.
Kiffin doesn't tweet a "song of the day" or hold his players' hands and sing "Kumbaya." He hasn't had Will Ferrell come charging through Howard Jones' gates dressed in a speedo and an Ironman top. In essence, Kiffin is all business and all football.
Ironically, it's the latter part of that statement that seems to be hurting the Trojans. Before the first week of spring practice ended, more than a dozen players had sat out at one time or another with injuries. Here are the leads to the two Daily Trojan articles written after the Thursday and Saturday practices last week.
Thursday: "Day two of the Lane Kiffin era was nearly identical to day one — lots of second teamers, lots of intensity and a heavy emphasis on discipline."
Saturday: "With injuries decimating the roster and a quarterback competition keeping the spring interesting, it was defense, not offense, that characterized this Saturday's third football practice of the spring season."
The common theme among these two sentences is injuries. Second teamers were playing Thursday because many starters couldn't, as was evident Saturday.
This begs the question: Are Kiffin's practices too tough, or were Carroll's practices, while still hard-hitting, too relaxed?
Now, it must be noted some of the players are on the disabled list for reasons totally unrelated to practice. Redshirt junior tight end Rhett Ellison has mononucleosis and could miss all of spring practiceand redshirt junior center Michael Reardon is in a neck brace for injuries suffered during an ATV accident a few weeks ago.
Regardless, at least 10 players sat out Saturday's scrimmage, the first practice in full pads, because of injuries including freshman running back Dillon Baxter (quad), safety Marshall Jones (neck), redshirt sophomore offensive linemen Matt Kalil (hip) and junior tight end Blake Ayles (ankle).
During USC's first weekend scrimmage last year, there weren't nearly as many players watching from the sideline. Taylor Mays barely played because of dehydration and Drew McAllister and tight end Anthony McCoy had hamstring injuries, but other than that, the team was healthy.
This spring, just four practices in, USC has been forced to go with many backups, especially at tight end. With USC's top two returning tight ends, Ayles and Ellison, both out with injuries, the two players on the top of the team's depth chart are two former wide receivers: senior Jordan Cameron and senior David Ausberry. They will both continue to get reps at tight end because, as Kiffin said Thursday, "we just don't have the numbers."
Some players are choosing to play despite injuries. Senior center Kristofer O'Dowd has been playing with a knee injury he sustained Thursday, and sophomore linebacker Devon Kennard is playing with a cast on his right wrist.
"It was a very physical, very long practice, but guys need to learn to get hurt and continue to play," Kiffin said Saturday.
O'Dowd certainly got Kiffin's message.
"Being injured means you can't do anything — you're out. Being hurt means, OK, you've got a knick-knack, but you can play through it," he told the Los Angeles Times Saturday.
I like the energy, discipline, old-school toughness and business-like attitude Kiffin brings to the team. As much as I've enjoyed watching Carroll's teams dance on the sidelines, break out in song in team meetings and joke around, something has been missing from the team over the past few years.
During the last few years of Carroll's tenure, it felt almost like the team expected the trophies to be handed to them. It seemed as if they felt entitled.
Kiffin is making sure nobody feels entitled to anything and that's what has been missing from USC's past teams.
"There's a definite emphasis on toughness," Kennard told the Los Angeles Times. "We're trying to go out there and bang as a defense and rekindle something we didn't have last year."
So while the injuries stockpile for the Trojans, it's doubtful Kiffin will change his ways. If USC goes out and wins the national championship next season, it won't be because of the glitz and glamour Trojan teams had in the past. It will be because of the toughness and new attitude Kiffin instilled in this squad.
He's not too tough. And toward the end of his tenure, Carroll just wasn't tough enough.

Iran's ultimate political and religious leader, Ruhollah Khomeini was born on 24 September 1902. He was an Iranian charismatic Shiite priest who led the revolution that overthrew the last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi in 1979.
Ruhollah Khomeini was born in Khomeyn in central Iran. He became a religious scholar in the early 1920s and become an 'Ayatollah' (the sign of god), a term for a leading Shia scholar. In 1962 he was arrested by the Sha's security service for his outspoken opposition to the administration of the Shah. His arrest elevated him to status of national hero.
In 1979, the Ayatollah Khomeini returns to Iran in triumph after 15 years of exile. The shah and his family had fled the country two weeks before, and jubilant Iranian revolutionaries were eager to establish a fundamentalist Islamic government under Khomeini's leadership.
Following the revolution, Khomeini became a supreme leader of a country. A position created in the constitution of the Islamic Republic as the highest-ranking political and religious authority of the nation, which he held until his death.
To honor him Iran Postal Department has issued many postal stamps illustrating the portrait of Khomeini.

Government must be specific about how much money is in its "stimulus package" for the industrial sector, the Association of Ghana Industries has said, even as it pledged to support in the "design and implementation" of the package "to avoid waste."
The 2017 budget states that "a National Industrial Revitalisation Programme with a stimulus package for industry will be established," but falls short of mentioning how much money will be allocated.
The package, according to the budget, will "provide technical and financial support to existing companies that are currently distressed or are facing operational challenges, but are deemed to be viable to benefit from the stimulus package which will put them in operation in the shortest possible time."
A Vice President for the AGI, Dr Yaw Adu Gyamfi, who called for clarity on the stimulus package, also said at the association's review of the 2017 budget that: "we can develop all businesses; at the same time, if we do not put measures in place to, somehow, block the inflow of inferior goods,…we will not get anywhere."
Government, itself, acknowledges that "growth in the industrial and manufacturing sector has significantly declined over time, contributing to an unprecedented level of unemployment.
Figures from the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) shows the sector recorded -1.1 and -5 percent growth in the first two quarters of last year, even though the situation improved to 3.9 percent in the third quarter.
The situation, the 2017 budget states, "could be attributed to a variety of factors including, but not limited to the high cost of capital; limited access to medium to long term financing; high cost of electricity and unreliable power supply; limited access to land for industrial activity as well as weak logistic and infrastructure support for industrial development."
Presenting AGI's perspective of the budget, its President, James Asare-Adjei, lauded the tax cuts and initiatives like the One District, One Factory and the Industrial Development Fund, and pledged the association's support towards their realisation.
The association, he said, had been working with the previous government, and hopes to work with the new government towards realisation of its flagship Industrial Development Bank project.
Tax Exemptions
The AGI lauded govenrment's decision to review all tax exemptions, adding that under-invoicing for certain imports constitutes a major source of revenue leakage and must be checked.
"In order to salvage this, we strongly recommend the introduction of minimum declared values for most imports in order to reduce ambiguity and discretion in dutiable values," James Asare-Adjei said.
Government, the AGI said, must review power generation contracts with the view to reducing electricity tariffs to competitive levels within the West Africa Sub-region.
"The AGI also proposes that the least expensive power generation sources be dedicated to strategic industries which have linkages throughout the economy, and the aluminum value chain."
Construction sector
Government, the association said, must expedite action on the establishment of the Construction Industry Development Authority, which "will mark the beginning of dealing holistically with the regulation, growth and development of the construction sector in Ghana."
In the interim, the association said it wants the new government to continue projects begun by the erstwhile DNC regime, esure "prompt" payment for existing contracts, and ensure interest is paid on all delayed payments to contractors to guarantee their sustenance.
In this regard, it called for legislation of the payment of interest on all delayed payments "to ensure that all projects commence on the basis of fund availability."

I was supposed to be going to the theatre on Wednesday evening, but the announcement of a pre-season friendly at Clarence Park put paid to that. I know that there are varying schools of thought about pre-season games, with many regarding attendance as pointless, but I love them. It is a chance to ease yourself gently back in with games whose results don't matter, to get an early look at new signings and to catch up with your football friends.
We stationed ourselves outside the Sponsors' Lounge and there was a different vibe from previous games at the same venue with the visit of Premier League opposition attracting a different class of visitor. I don't think I have ever seen glasses of white wine being drunk on the perimeter of a non-league pitch before.
Our position turned to our advantage as I looked up to see our new manager approaching. I took the opportunity to welcome him, for which he thanked me. He was followed by the coaching staff and then the players. I was impressed that Vydra didn't look the least bit scared when I greeted him with "At last you are ours." Inside, he smiled and said, "At last." As the last of the players passed us, I wondered where Deeney was and then saw that he was having photos taken with fans. He was running late behind his teammates, but still took time when he saw us ask how we were and to shake Don's hand and give me a kiss.
Crowds had flocked to the game but, as the scheduled kick-off time drew near, many were still outside the gates so kick-off was delayed for 15 minutes. That must be a first for a Watford pre-season game.
Quique Sanchez Flores named a very strong starting line-up: Gomes, Pudil, Cathcart, Angella, Anya, Capoue, Watson, Ighalo, Abdi, Forestieri and Deeney. I must admit that, since I always struggle to identify players in pre-season while writing my match reports (new hair-cuts usually do for me), I was happy that only one unfamiliar face was on show.
Prior to kick-off, as the players formed the line for the 'respect' handshake, they were joined by the Mayor of St Albans. I don't remember that happening when we played in the Football League.
Watford had an early chance as Deeney headed the ball down to Ighalo but the ball ran away from the Nigerian and the chance was gone. Then Capoue released Pudil on the wing, he crossed for Deeney who couldn't connect. Forestieri played a low cross to Deeney who cut it back to Abdi, but the Professor's shot was straight at the Saints keeper. The first goal attempt from the home side was put out for a corner which Gomes punched in the direction of a Saints player but Forestieri was on hand to block the follow-up. Watford resumed their attacks as Deeney passed to Forestieri, who found space for a shot but it was a bit soft, so easily saved. An attempt by Deeney to reach an Abdi ball over the top to him in the box was stopped by a push, but there was no penalty appeal. Deeney then shaped for a scissor kick, but a defender blocked the ball before he could connect.
A lovely Abdi corner should have been converted but Capoue's header was mistimed and the ball went sailing past him. Pudil found Forestieri who cut inside and shot into the side netting. It had been mostly one way traffic in the first 25 minutes, but St Albans threatened as Cathcart was pushed off the ball and the cross reached Hilliard whose shot cleared the bar. It was then Angella who lost out to Hilliard but the striker again shot over the target. At the other end, an Abdi free kick was easily gathered by Jones. The home side threatened again as a cross from Bishop was headed clear by Angella while Hilliard's follow-up shot flew wide of the far post. Watford took the lead in the 32rd minute as a cross from Anya was turned back by Pudil to Ighalo who powered the ball into the net. We were two up very soon afterwards as Capoue played a one-two with Anya before very generously feeding Ighalo who finished. It could have been three goals within five minutes as Deeney hit a lovely half volley that just cleared the bar. So we went into the break two goals up after a half that was thoroughly entertaining. The new boy certainly impressed and there was a lot of lovely passing and not tiki-taka stuff, but Bolton-esque crossfield balls.
I expected wholesale changes for the Hornets at half-time, but there were only five substitutions with Arlauskis, Prödl, Hoban, McGugan and Vydra replacing Gomes, Angella, Pudil, Watson and Ighalo. The home side also made a number of changes. Connor Smith soon joined the fray replacing Capoue, who had a very good first game in a Watford shirt. Almost immediately, Deeney was bearing down on the St Albans goal but Jones came off his line and put him off so he shot over the bar. The next change was Lloyd Dyer (no, I didn't think I'd see him in a Watford shirt again either) replacing Forestieri. For the home side, Ngoyi shot wide of the far post, although the whistle had already gone for a rather harsh offside decision. On the hour Abdi shot just wide. Another unexpected face returned as Belkalem came on for Cathcart. Dyer played a one-two with Vydra before putting in a cross that was turned out for a corner from which Prödl's header over the target. Dyer was instrumental in the third Watford goal as he rounded the keeper and hit a shot which was cleared back to him so he squared for Deeney to blast home. Watford's next substitution saw young professional Dennon Lewis replacing Abdi. The first time Arlauskis was called into action he impressed, blocking a close range shot and then saving the follow-up.
Watford's next chance was a McGugan free-kick which flew over the bar. There was a further substitution as Anya was replaced by Paredes. The home side hadn't given up and a shot from Medlock was saved by the legs of Arlauskis. At the other end a chance for Deeney was slightly scuffed and went straight to the keeper. Dennon Lewis broke into the box, but his shot was saved. The final substitution saw the last of the starters, Deeney, replaced by Byers. Watford's fourth came in the 87th minute as a cut back from Paredes was met with a shot from Smith that took a wicked deflection to fly over Jones in the St Albans goal. There was one last chance for the Hornets but McGugan's shot was saved so the visitors ran out 4 goal winners.
Those who shun pre-season games missed a treat. It was a very good performance on a gorgeous Summer's evening. The new boys all looked impressive, the old boys played their part, there were four goals and I got a kiss from the Watford captain. All in all, a very good evening.

In contrast, when I lived in Rhode Island, not only was cold milk and chocolate milk available everywhere, there was even a third option: coffee milk. This is the official state beverage. In my other homeland, Denmark, kids and adults drink cold creamy buttermilk all the time. So you just never know.
What you really don´t know when you first come to the Czech Republic is: what´s what? This printable list of items found in your dairy section is going to set you straight. And if you order a milkshake in a restaurant, be warned that your "shake" or ovocny cocktail will not be thick, like it is in the states, and it might not even be cold. Czechs like their milk at cow temperature.
Milk = Mléko
Regardless the brand, color coding indicates fat content.
- Green packaging is low-fat with .5% (odstředěné, odtučněné, or nízkotučné)
- Blue is skim 1.5% (polotučné = "half fat")
- Red is whole milk 3-3.5% (plnotučné = "full fat")
- There´s a high fat milk called svačinové mléko, or "snack milk" with up to 4% fat.
- The percentage if fat is given on the container where it says Obsah tuku. Obsah means containing and tuk is fat, which turns to tučné when used as an adjective.
- Other words you may see in the dairy aisle: trvanlivé (long-lasting), bio (organic), selské (farm) and horské (alpine)
- Dried milk powder (the brand Laktino, for example) is called sušené mléko and is also packaged green, blue, and red according to fat content.
- In the US and many parts of Europe, low-fat dairy is everywhere – low-fat milk, cheese, yogurt and even ice cream. These products are harder to find in the Czech Republic. As of this writing, it is impossible to find fresh low-fat milk in the refrigerated dairy section. You have to buy the long life kind – UHT, Ultra High Temperature, which is stored in another aisle. In Ultra High Temperature processing, milk is heated to 275 F (135 C) for one or two seconds. This makes it able to sit on a shelf for up half a year. It does result in a slightly cooked flavor, which is why it's unpopular in the US, but it's the price to pay to watch your waistline, at least until there is more demand for it. Read up on UHT here.
- In America, dairy farmers up their production 20% by injecting their cows with Bovine growth hormone. Only products specially labeled "NO rBGH" are free from the hormone – which has been linked to several types of cancer. Here in the EU, we don´t have to worry about that.
Cream = Smetana
- Smetana means cream. Šlehat means "to whip" so šlehačka is whipped cream.
- The richest of the creams, coded red, has 40% fat.
- Cream in blue packaging, labeled na šlehání, is suitable for whipping. It should have a fat content of around 30%.
- The lighter creams, often packaged in yellow, have 12% and can´t be whipped.
- If you´re using cream for cooking, buy Smetana na vaření.
Sour Cream = Zakysaná smetana
- Sour = kyselý or zakysaný
- Few stores carry light sour cream with 8% fat, but most will have the 11% (smooth=jemná) and the 15% (thick=hustá).
- Green containers typically have less fat, blue containers more.
Yeast = Droždí
- No, it isn´t dairy, but if you´re looking for fresh yeast in blocks, this is where you´ll find it – tucked between cream and eggs or in that general area.
Butter = Máslo and Margarine = Margarín
- Butter is pretty obvious. Check the fat content, it varies.
- You won´t find salted butter, except in specialty shops.
- Margarine is margarine but also referred to as rostlinný tuk or "plant fat". Brands include Hera, Rama and Perla.
- If the words na pečení are written, the product is intended for baking.
- Note for bakers: rostlinný tuk is 'Shortening" (similar to CRISCO)
Flavored butter alternatives
- Czechs often spread "cream cheese" on bread. There are many kinds, and they are available in flavors like chive (pažitka), ham (šunka), herbs (s bylinkami) and plain (přírodní). Brands include Lučina and Gervais.
- Pomazánkové máslo has always been considered a butter product in the Czech Republic, but new EU regulations forbid the word 'butter' on the package – because butter must have a fat content of at least 80%, and pomazánka has only 30-40%, plus some dried milk, starch and water.
Buttermilk = Podmáslí
- We call it buttermilk, Czechs call it "sub butter". It is the liquid that seeps out when milk is churned in to butter.
- The fat content is the same as low fat milk (5%) but fermentation makes it much thicker.
- Buttermilk is rich in calcium and has twice the lecithin as whole milk.
- Kefír is something you´ll find in every shop in Prague, but where I´ve lived, you´d need to visit a Middle Eastern shop or a health food store. Kefírové mléko is a cultured milk product, like yogurt, but with even more culture and more benefits. "Cultured" means they contain certain beneficial bacteria – or pro-biotic flora – which help with digestion and keep yeast growth in check (as can occur when taking antibiotics). But whereas yogurt products contain only one such bacteria (bi-fidus), kefír contains three or four different strains of bacteria, and it doesn´t just contain them, it colonizes your intestinal tract with them. Learn more at http://www.kefir.net/kefiryogurt.htm
Yogurt = Jogurt
- Yogurts are pretty self-explanatory, thanks to the pictures.
- velké kousky = Big chunks.
- vláknina = fibre, or cereal added.
- smetana = cream, so smetanový = creamy. Sometimes you see the word krém.
- Low-fat yogurt is harder to come by, and non-fat is nonexistent. Bigger stores, like Tesco, will carry tiny containers of reduced fat yogurt – nízkotučný – but so far, only in plain or bílý. The fruit flavored yogurts that are considered diet are instead sweetened artificially and have other thickeners.
- Fat-wise, most yogurts are in the 3% range.
- The fattiest of yogurts (and practically a dessert) is the Greek style, coming in at 10%.
- If you´d like to try something traditional that Czech kids grew up on, look for small glass containers, with metal lids. These yogurts are plain on the top, fruit at the bottom and should be stirred up.
- Drink yogurts (jogurtový nápoj) are popular, and come in flavors like cherry (višně), kiwi-strawberry (kiwi – jahoda) and even apple-mint (jablka – máta).
- Milk that isn´t yogurt but has acidophilus added is called acidofilní mléko.
- In every dairy section you will see tvaroh. What is this? It is a curd product similar to quark (though it´s not the same, and larger stores will actually carry quark – and call it čerstvý sýr), and cottage cheese (which also exists here, and is called "Cottage").It is made by warming soured milk causing denaturation, then straining.
- Tvaroh is a well-loved and common ingredient in Czech pastries like the koláč or dishes like žemlovka. Czechs crumble it into crepes, and onto fruit dumplings and even make into a deliciously tart ice cream. Try brands like Míša or Kuba to taste this refreshing alternative.
- Note to bakers: Tvaroh is NOT "Cream Cheese" as we know it in the US – something smeared onto bagels or turned into cheesecake and frosting. Tvaroh is more crumbly and will result in a dryer, harder cake. That´s why "cheese cake" from a Czech menu, even though it´s made with "cream cheese", is completely different from a NY cheesecake.
- Tvaroh has less whey than say, cottage cheese (which is just curded whey) and that´s what makes it more solid.
- This may be an old wives tale, but putting cold tvaroh into your bra helps combat mastitis.
Pribináček / Bobík / Lipánek
- This is another completely local (as far as I know) product which is described as cream custard. Brand names like Pribináček, Bobík and Lipánek
- This decadent treat can even be used as a quick frosting on cupcakes.
- Some of these are released in limited edition flavors for Christmas and summer.
More desserts
- Mléčná rýže = Rice milk custard
- Pudink = Pudding
Non-refrigerated dairy products
On a non-refrigerated shelf you should find soy milk and creamers:
- Brands like Piknik and Tatra offer condensed milk in little cartons and portable tubes.
- Smetana do kávy is coffee creamer
- Look for words like zahuštěné (thickened), kondenzované (condensed) and neslazené (unsweetened). Sladká indicates that the cream has been sweetened.
Next: I´ll leave the topic of cheese for a future article. There are tastier alternatives to the bland Eidam you see everywhere, but you have to know where to look.

2017 car production forecasts revised as domestic demand falls
The UK car production forecast for 2017 has been revised downwards as domestic demand continues to fall, leading to repeated industry calls for a clear roadmap for Brexit.
Latest figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) show UK new car production rose 3.5% in October, with exports up 5% but domestic demand down 2.9%, marking the ninth consecutive month of decline.
For the year-to-date, overall output is down 1.6% with exports broadly stable with a 0.1% fall and domestic demand down 6.8%.
The latest independent production forecast out today has revised the expected UK output for 2017 down to 1.73 million, lower than previous SMMT expectations of around 1.8 million.
The SMMT said the revision is due in part to the decline in domestic demand, but also because of lower than expected production levels of certain models as some approach the end of their lifecycles.
Mike Hawes, SMMT chief executive, said: "The latest independent UK forecast report is worrying news for the sector, predicting annual output which is, at best, static compared with last year. The industry needs stability and a clear roadmap for Brexit if we are to encourage investment and arrest the decline in both the market and business confidence."

Charities Expect Tough Holiday Season
The fragile economy won't rebound quickly enough to rescue some of the nation's largest charities from a bleak holiday giving season.
The nation's 400 largest charities expect giving to decline by a median of 9% this year, according to a survey by The Chronicle of Philanthropy, a trade publication. That means half the nation's largest fundraisers expect donations to drop even more than 9%.
Last year, charitable giving fell 2% to $308 billion, the first decline since 1987, according to Giving USA, an annual report published by the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University. The Center hasn't projected numbers for 2009, "but we do know that giving is affected by recessions and recovery from recessions," says Timothy Seiler, director at the Center's Public Service and Fundraising School. The slower the economic rebound, he adds, "the slower the rebound will be for charitable giving."
Corporate giving in 2009 is expected to drop 3% to 5%, according to a survey of 76 companies by LBG Research.
While people have continued to give to charity during the recession, they're giving smaller amounts. That's significant, because donations from individuals account for about 75% of all charitable giving.
Grants from the Schwab Charitable Fund, which allows participants to make recurring donations from an investment account, were up 20% in October, but the average grant size was down 25%, says Kim Wright-Violich, president of the fund. In June, the Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund permanently lowered the minimum size of grants from its fund to $50 from $100.
For the Salvation Army, Friday's news that consumer spending fell 0.5% in September was particularly worrisome, says spokesman Maj. George Hood, national community relations director. If consumers stay away from shopping centers during the holiday season, donations to the Salvation Army's red kettles will fall, he says.
"Our Christmas program is really driven by foot traffic during the Christmas season."
Charities are coping by increasing solicitations (especially to prior contributors), cutting costs and using social media and the Internet to raise funds.

Saturday, Oct 29: Lewisburg Halloween Festival!
On Halloween night, hordes of costumed children trick or treat the night away. We encourage you to gather the kids and the family dog(s) and start the festivities early at the Lewisburg Halloween Festival. Slated for Saturday, October 29th, this special free event is held from 3-8pm at Hollowell Park, located behind WV Osteopathic School of Medicine (WVSOM). There will be games, food, live music, and vendors!
There will be a Pet Pawrade sponsored by Seneca Trail Animal Hospital. Prized will be to the dogs who don the scariest, most original, and cutest costumes. Games for the kids include a Pumpkin Ring Toss where contestants are given 3 rings to toss at the stems of pumpkins. The goal is to ring as many pumpkin stems as possible. There's also the Broomstick Race, Get -a-Ghost, Pumpkin Bean Bag Toss, and a Pumpkin Carving Contest for both kids and adults.
There will be cotton candy, candied apples, Halloween cookies, and funnel cakes by Ol Skool Confessions. Ol Skool Confessions is a funnel cake truck like the ones at the Fair which serve not only classic funnel cakes, but also pumpkin pie and red velvet flavors. They will also be serving drinks. Of the bands performing, one is West Virginia indie rock band, Absolute Love Affair. Most of the vendors are small business and one is professional makeup artist company, Luxury.
This event was founded by local resident, Madison Meadows, who came up with this festival through a movie she enjoyed as a kid called, "Halloweentown". She loves Halloween and always wanted a big, spooky festival like the film. Madison tells us, "At first, I just thought a Lewisburg Halloween festival was going stay a good idea and nothing was going come of it, but when I posted it on Facebook, people started jumping on board left and right. I guess I wasn't the only one who dreamt of a fantastic Halloween celebration. I'm really happy with the town's response and all the effort the committee members are putting into this. I really couldn't have done this without their help." Madison would like to give special thanks to Courtney Floyd, Jamie Clark, Tiffany Sims, and Cody Sizemore. She tells us these folks are the real reason this event is happening and they have put in several hours of hard work and dedication.
Get out and support this fun event! For more info, check out the "Lewisburg Halloween Festival" event page on Facebook or contact Madison at (304) 992-4845.

Read the half bloods in two nights, couldn't stop. Thanks for your hard work.
Looking forward to autumn.
Updated with new book cover xxx
Hi everyone
Well, here we are in May already, straddling the summer and coming up to one the biggest book-buying and reading seasons of the year.
In Spain, we're seeing great weather, so good in fact, I managed to get my baby, Marnina to the beach for the very first time. How is she? you might be asking. Well folks, she is biting me to death, chewing my hair, destroying the wooden furniture with her razor-sharp teeth, and being what she's supposed to be; a Labrador puppy who's naughty but adorable.
Back to Business. I wanted to let you all know that the sequel to The German Half-Bloods is coming along nicely. I thought I'd be around 40,000 words at this point, but I've reached 60,000 and am getting the book cover together as we speak.
In Book 2, The Vogels: On All Fronts, I'll be in Poland, Britain, France…
