World Council's Global Women's Leadership Network Celebrates 10 Years
GWLN Recognizes Industry Leaders
January 10, 2019
MADISON, Wis. — The Global Women's Leadership Network (GWLN) begins 2019 with its 10-year anniversary announcing record growth and recognizing GWLN champions. The World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) premier program was established in 2009 to provide credit union women with the opportunity to network and make a measurable difference in the lives of each other, in the lives of members and within their communities.
Since establishment, GWLN has grown to more than 2600 female and male members with nearly 100 chapters (sister societies) in the U.S. and internationally in 18 countries, has provided 52 scholarships to women from 22 countries, and raised over US $2.5 million to make a measurable difference for credit union families.
"Congratulations to all our volunteers and supporters for the incredible momentum in 2018," exclaimed Susan Mitchell, Founding Chair of the Network and CEO of Mitchell, Stankovic & Associates and recipient of the 2018 Herb Wegner Memorial Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement at the recent GWLN strategic planning session with sister society leaders. "We need to think big in 2019 to grow our membership and build our brand to create scale that will enhance our impact locally and globally."
During the strategy session, GWLN announced that Andrea Rusnak, VP of Account Management, PSCU is the winner for the 2018 Emerging Leader Award. This award recognizes the accomplishments of an emerging female leader working in the credit union movement, making a significant impact on the industry and advancing the mission of GWLN. The presentation of the award will be at the Global Women's breakfast event at the 2019 GAC in Washington, DC on March 13, 2019.
Also at the same event, the 10th Year anniversary HE for SHE Recognition will be made to four individuals who have contributed to the network through their leadership and outreach, scholarship development, fundraising initiatives and continuous commitment.

- Joseph Schroeder, CEO, Ventura County Credit Union
- Michael Stankovic, Partner, Mitchell, Stankovic & Associates
Additionally, the HE for SHE recipients will also be recognized at the 2019 World Credit Union Conference in the Bahamas.

Feline behavior can be a puzzling thing, even for long-time cat owners. If you've ever used the word "neurotic" to describe your cat, you're not alone. What's behind some of the quirky behaviors of our pet cats, and do they share these qualities with cats in the wild? A recent study published in the Journal of Comparative Psychology offers some interesting answers!
Researchers studied the personalities of 100 domestic cats and dozens of wild felines living in captivity in various zoos. The wild cats studied were the clouded and snow leopards, the Scottish wildcat, and the African lion. All of the cats were evaluated with a 45-question personality survey.
It turns out that both our housecats and all of the wild cats share three personality traits: neuroticism, impulsiveness, and dominance. How do these personality traits manifest themselves in feline behavior? Neuroticism includes fear of humans, suspiciousness, and insecurity. Impulsive cats were likely to be erratic, impulsive, and excitable. Dominance manifested itself as aggressiveness, jealousy, and "bullying" of members of the same species.
What does all of this mean for cat owners scratching their heads over their kitty's "weird" behavior? The researchers note that for the wild cats living in zoos, their captive status could very well be contributing to their behaviors. They argue that if we think of our domestic cats as little house lions, we can gain a greater understanding of how they tick, too.
Since cats in the wild live a predatory (and often solitary) way of life, we can take steps to enrich the environment and care for the emotional health of our pet cats (and also shelter cats). This includes providing cats with stimulation such as food-dispensing puzzle-feeder toys, and play sessions that involve interactive toys like fishing pole-style wands and objects like fuzzy mice and ping pong balls (placed in boxes or bags for added stimulus).
Cats also like vertical spaces, which help them feel safe and secure. Things like cat trees, shelves and kitty walkways, and even window perches (with a view of the action outside) can do the trick. Don't forget to also provide them with safe hideouts like boxes and covered beds to help them feel cozy and secure. And of course, encourage their natural scratching behavior with scratching posts covered in rough material like sisal.

Ian Rapoport reports that Saints G Andrus Peat suffered a broken fibula and will undergo an MRI to determine if there is ligament damage.
It sounds like Peat will end up being placed on injured reserve in the coming days if tests confirm the severity of the injury.
[divider style="solid" top="20″ bottom="20″]
Saints OL Andrus Peat went down with a serious left leg injury during the second quarter of Sunday's playoff game against the Panthers.
Peat was clearly in a great deal of pain and the Saints' medical staff immobilized his leg with an air cast before he was taken off on a cart.
Peat, 24, is a former first-round pick of the Saints back in 2015. He's currently in the third year of his four-year, $11.393 million contract and stands to make a base salary of $1.988 million for the 2018 season.
The Saints will have to decide whether to pick up his fifth-year option in the coming months.
In 2017, Peat appeared in 15 games for the Saints and is rated by Pro Football Focus as the No. 45 guard out of 82 qualifying players.
We'll have more regarding Peat's injury as the news is available.

|First appearance
Akira (real name unknown) is the protagonist of the Transmitter cases of The Silver Case, as well as #06 white out in The 25th Ward: The Silver Case. Initially a member of Republic, he is later recruited into the Heinous Crimes Unit following their failed mission to apprehend Kamui Fujiwara. The player is asked their name at the beginning of the game, which becomes Akira's name.
Appearance and Personality[edit]
Akira's personality is rather unclear to both the characters and the player, and even his name is only a codename. He is a big, intimidating and stoic man, and a very good soldier and investigator. He is never shown speaking, and is stated to be mute due to psychosis from the events of the Kamui mission, though investigation scenes later on imply that he has some other way of communicating. Tetsugoro Kusabi takes a liking to him and calls him "Big Dick", and describes him as looking like a chinchilla. Tokio Morishima, on the other hand, is terrified of him due to associating him with a traumatic experience at the Babylon Shopping Center. Akihiko Ishizuka is impressed by Akira, saying that he's "really got it on", but many others, such as Mokutaro Shiroyabu, find him creepy or talk down to him.
Akira was one of the children who grew up in the Shelter as a stock body for Kamui. His history after this is largely a mystery, and there are signs of his government registration having been deleted. Eventually, he was recruited into Republic by Daigo Natsume, where he was trained in firing bullets for the first time. He stayed on with Republic until Operation Secure Kamui in 1999, a mission of which he was the sole survivor. He is soon after discovered at IMM Hospital by Kusabi and Sumio Kodai, who decide to take him with them due to him being the only witness. He ends up assisting in the Kamui Case despite not being an actual member of the HC Unit; he is later officially hired during case#2:spectrum, as a member of Unit 2 along with Kusabi and Sumio.
After the execution of Kamui in case#5:lifecut, Akira finds his way to the Shelter while investigating the TRUMP. As he discovers his past, various characters start referring to him as Kamui, suggesting that he is the next body that Kamui Uehara is going to transfer into. Akira ascends the TV Tower with Kusabi, who changes his mind, telling him that's it up to him whether he becomes Kamui or not. At the top, they confront Nezu, and Akira shoots him, symbolically releasing Akira from his past. After this, Akira meets with Tetsu at the Tamura cafe in case#!:tamura, where they talk about the events of the game. Curiously, despite presumably staying on with the HC Unit, Akira is not mentioned to have been involved with any of the cases on the history timeline on the official website.
In 2003, as shown in #06 white out, Sakura Natsume is his new commanding officer. While underground looking for the Joker, Mokutaro Shiroyabu mistakenly believes Akira to be the Joker instead. He shouts at Akira to answer him, but being mute, Akira cannot; before Shiro can fire, though, Kusabi interrupts the allocation. Kusabi clears up the misunderstanding, and Akira and Shiroyabu work together to go after the Joker. They corner him at the Hachisuka Dome; however, following the conclusion of the case, nothing is known of what happens to Akira.

Soap and Warm Water
Another key to helping an outbreak of genital herpes healing fast is to keep the infected area clean. Though herpes outbreaks are different for each person infected and involve a number of factors, cleaning with mild disinfectants like soap is the best way to keep the areas clean. You should definitely clean the areas with soap every time you shower or bathe, or after you exercise.
Just like after taking a warm bath, remember to thoroughly dry off after washing down.

|Rat gizzards. They smell bad and taste worse, but that's the best the desert has to offer.
–Rick O'Connell (first screenplay draft), The Mummy
Rats are small fur coated rodents.
About the size of a fist with a pointed snout and long scantly-haired tail, rats are often found in such locales as streets, sewers, and gutters. Rats also resided in Hamunaptra and were one of the naturally-occurring creatures of the City of the Dead. If starved, rats will often cannibalise one another as food, and will eat anything that they can, some particular rats devouring the High Priest Imhotep's tongue when it was cut out in 1290 B.C by the Medjai. Rats could also be cooked and eaten when food was in low supply; though having both a bad smell and taste, rats were the best foodstuff that the desert could offer.
- The Mummy(First appearance)
- The Mummy (novelization)
Behind the Scenes
The rat shown in the film was a live rat that was placed on Rachel Weisz's chest during filming, causing her reaction of panic to be genuine.

The Needs to Hire Experts to Supply Air Conditioning Services
Air conditioners are necessary because they play significant roles. Heating and cooling of air is commonly done by the air conditioning. Installation of the air conditioners occurs in different areas. Sometimes some people have these systems installed at home. There is also some installations that occur in the offices.

It is an easy task for one to be able to locate an expert who could help with the air conditioning. Just getting into the business profiles, it is easy for one to get the appropriate experts. Appointing the qualified people to to help with the air conditioning services leads one into purchasing some benefits.

Stories Without End: Essays 1975–2010, Judith Binney (Bridget Williams Books, 2009), 424 pp., $49.99
i.m. Dame Judith Binney, DNZM, FRSNZ,
Weighing in at a substantial 1.2 kilogrammes, this solid volume carries within its wrist-twisting four hundred plus pages, the freight of a lifetime's scholarship. Reviewing it now, a few weeks after Judith Binney's early death at seventy – when she might easily have worked on fruitfully for another decade – it is difficult to avoid a valedictory note in a review that should legitimately be solely concerned with the text itself, a work that must now earn its keep independently of its author's life, or death. That said, it will be necessary – and fitting – at the conclusion of this article to utter a poroporoaki in Te Reo Māori, the language of the world she set out to map some forty years ago. And it is the connection between the concept of oral history and its relation to the written word – a linkage that is central to Binney's project – that will be the necessary focus here.
The book is a chronological series of collected articles that trace her intellectual development, through a Pākehā revision of Māori histories from 1975 until 2010. It begins with a close examination of missionary lives, goes on to discuss Māori Christianity, the rise of Te Kooti and Tūhoe prophets, Tūhoe and the land, oral histories and women's stories. In what must surely now be seen as something of a Festschrift in her honour, the collection begins with a 1975 paper revealing the Rev. William Yates' homosexuality, and his inner torments in attempting to reconcile his evangelical faith with a prediliction for Māori boys. The Māori Renaissance and the parallel rise of a new generation of Pākehā baby-boom historians began to coalesce at the time of these early publications. Binney was taught by Keith Sinclair, and while born in 1940 – and so not exactly in the same cohort as James Belich, Matthew Wright and Paul Moon – she is charged with the power of the same deconstructive zeitgeist that actively dethroned old Pākehā 'saints' while resurrecting and sanctifying many old Māori 'sinners'.

["Obama administration warns states that road funds near gone" – Reuters 7.1.14]
Reuters reports that declining revenues from gas taxes could result in a slowing or hypothetical drying up of federal funds for state road projects.
The Obama administration warned states on Tuesday that federal highway funds will be largely depleted in August, limiting the money states can expect to pay for road and bridge projects this summer.
* * *
Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx told states the government will slow federal reimbursement for highway repairs in August as the U.S. Highway Trust Fund drops below a critical threshold next month. The fund is replenished by gas tax revenues, which have dried up as Americans have driven less and used more fuel-efficient cars.
Political finger-pointing has resulted, even as Congress is scrambling to address broader spending issues with stopgap measures.

Old Dubai. Dubai has developed from a small fishing village, where oil has made it prosperous, and of course thanks to their King of Dubai! Here you can feel the past Dubai and Arab culture, but there are not many tourists, which belongs to the deep travel can experience, the impact of another culture, very amazing.
It's very Arabic and worth visiting. Single girls who take the subway should pay attention to it. After the subway station comes out, they must pass through an area inhabited by Indians and Pakistanis. At first glance, it's dirty and messy. They should pay attention to safety.
The Arabian historical buildings are the only wind towers along the Arabian coast of the Gulf. Bastakiah, also known as the old city of Bastakia in Dubai, is one of the oldest sites in Dubai. The name Bastakiah originated from the Iranian town of Bastak, where most of Dubai's first business immigrants came from in the early nineteenth century. The exquisite rubble walls inhabited by wealthy people became the symbol of the old city of Bastakia, and the central area was the most beautiful and elegant building.
The mountain people have to say that although it's extremely hot here, the photos will certainly tempt you. Compared with the modern central city zone, Iranian towns are really beautiful and quiet, so that you feel the lost civilization reappears here. Think of a song, "Yesterday again", ye, that's what it means.
The Arabian historical complex on the banks of the Dubai River, also known as Bastakia, is the oldest urban area in Dubai, roaming here as if in the past. These old buildings have been transformed into shady cafes, art galleries and fantastic shops, making them excellent places for visitors to enjoy themselves. The origin of the old city is Bastakia, the only remaining wind tower complex along the Arabian coast of the Gulf. Standing in this old city, you can vaguely see the tranquility and tranquility of Dubai in the past.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Darius Leonard had resigned himself to the inevitable.
Instead of anxiously waiting for word that last year's Pro Bowl snub had been rectified with his first selection Tuesday evening, he headed downtown to Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Indiana Pacers were bracing for LeBron James' only regular-season visit, and Leonard didn't want to miss it.
Then, the NFL announced the Pro Bowl rosters.
Then, Leonard's cell phone buzzed to life.
"Definitely shocked,'' he said Wednesday. "I was on the way to the Pacers game so I wasn't looking for it. Coach Reich called me, just told me the news.
"I was excited. Told the wife and kinda went from there.''
Leonard's initial reaction was a "sigh of relief.''
"Finally, getting to the dance,'' he said.
The call should have come last year, and the fact it didn't lowered Leonard's expectations in Year 2. He described the selection process as a "popularity contest'' and lamented the lack of "love'' he was shown last season.
And who can forget the epic nature of Leonard's rookie season? He led the NFL and set a Colts record with 163 tackles, including 12 for a loss, despite missing one game. He added 7 sacks, two interceptions, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He had at least 10 tackles in seven games, topped by a 19-tackle outing against Washington.
He and Quenton Nelson were named first-team All-Pro, the first rookie teammates cited since Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers in 1965.
We sense the beginning of a trend. Nelson was selected for his second Pro Bowl, and there's every reason to expect the Colts' standouts to be regular all-star teammates moving forward.
"Quenton and I always talk about it,'' Leonard said. "We talked about it last week. Just coming in together last year (we're) so very close.
"Quenton dominates every single game.''
Now, there's a level of validation for Leonard, especially considering the Pro Bowl is determined through a voting of players, coaches and fans.
"Somewhat,'' he said. "Finally, everybody seeing what type of linebacker I am. It's great that my peers around me voted me in . . . they're seeing what I'm doing, they respect everything I'm doing.''
"It means a lot, especially coming from where I came from. A lot of adversity I had to go through and coming here and kinda proving everybody wrong.''
Year 2 hasn't measured up from a sheer numbers standpoint, but that was assured when Leonard missed three games with a concussion.
Even so, he once again has spent the season stuffing his bottom line: a team-high 104 tackles, including six for a loss; 5 sacks, four interceptions, six defended passes and two forced fumbles. He had two interceptions at Tampa Bay and returned one 80 yards for a touchdown.
Perhaps the most telling aspect of Leonard's first two seasons: he's the only player since 1982 to have at least 10 sacks and five interceptions in his first 25 games. Not the first linebacker. The first player.
"We all know what a great playmaker Darius is and a great leader he is on our defense,'' Reich said. "He's in a perfect scheme for a guy of his ability.''
Despite finally checking off one of the boxes that eluded him last season, Leonard isn't satisfied. Not even close.
One of the strengths of his game is an ability to self-motivate, which can be traced to when he was a playmaking 'backer at South Carolina State. Leonard set school records with 394 tackles and added 21.5 sacks and 53 tackles for loss.
The chip on his shoulder grew when some draft analysts criticized Colts general manager Chris Ballard for "over-drafting'' Leonard. He was the 36th overall pick in 2018.
Leonard's next motivation? Do more. Be better. Achieve more self-imposed goals.
"The only goal I met (this year) was the Pro Bowl,'' he said. "I probably set 15 goals this year, and that's the only one I've met. I have so much room for improvement.''
His list of goals?
"200 tackles,'' he said. "Ten sacks, six interceptions, eight forced fumbles, Defensive MVP, Super Bowl MVP. My name's not at the top of any of the goal sheets I want. I'm not Super Bowl MVP. I'm not Defensive MVP. I'm not none of that stuff.
"There are so many things I want to be great at. Right now, I'm just a good linebacker, and I'm aiming to be great.''
Roster move
The Colts placed defensive back Rolan Milligan (foot) on the injured reserve list and signed cornerback Briean Boddy-Calhoun.

My role within the Federation of Farmer Organisations San Isidro (UOCASI) is legal representative. UOCASI's main objective is to look after the social and economic development of our associated producers. The problems we have faced are linked to the lack of technology in the production processes of coffee and cocoa, as well as deficiencies in organisational management. Thanks to the approach implemented with Swisscontact, we have had the support in the construction of canopies and the training of how to do it ourselves, which allows us to give an added value in the post-harvest procedure for both coffee and cocoa.
As an association, we seek to improve the quality of coffee and cocoa, which allows our farmers to get better prices for their products in the market. Thanks to Swisscontact's support, I believe it is feasible in the short and medium term to achieve the proposed goals.
I want to thank Swisscontact, since the support they have given us has made us feel accompanied in all the processes of the productive chain of coffee and cocoa. Swisscontact also helped us to understand the importance of the technification and systematisation of the productive processes.

Round 12 - Carlsen enters last round clash against Giri as the sole leader
Magnus Carlsen continued his strong showing in the tournament with a victory over Jan-Krzysztof Duda, leaving him on 8.5/12 and a spectacular 2902 performance.
Giri for his part was unable to obtain any winning chances against Radjabov, and was in fact significantly worse in the final position when his opponent offered him a draw. This means that going into their last round clash, anything other than a win for Giri will give Carlsen a seventh tournament victory in Wijk aan Zee. Elsewhere, Sam Shankland bounced back from yesterday's mishap to inflict a crushing defeat on Nepomniachtchi while Kramnik managed a second consecutive victory against his compatriot Fedoseev.
In the Challengers Kovalev has for the first time taken the sole lead after scoring a third consecutive win, this one against Elisabeth Paehtz, and storming to an impressive 9/12. Chigaev was held to a draw by Lucas Van Foreest while Esipenko beat Saduakassova, so the two Russian grandmasters are only trailing Kovalev by half a point.
Tomorrow's 13th and final round starts an hour and a half earlier than usual, at noon local time.

Jim Beam Gets Epic
June 21, 2011 Leave a comment
This commercial has been around since February, but I saw it for the first time last night. I only really saw the tail end of it, but I had to go online to watch the real thing. There's a number of versions, including a 30 second spot which was probably the one I saw. But I think this one is the best.
Holy Willem Dafoe! I felt totally blown away after watching this. It somewhat reminds me of a much more cinematic and artistically crisp version of an AT&T commercial I wrote about last month. The gentle backing music that sounds like Explosions in the Sky makes this ad even more powerful.
Maybe Jim Beam's commercial is being shown more widely since it just won some big awards. There is some irony, since Jim Beam is the world's best selling bourbon, it really isn't a "bold choice". And while drinking Jim Beam does make me more bold, the jury is still out on whether my bold choices are actually good ones. But still, what a commercial!

The TruCom product automates the IRS Title 31 and FinCEN reporting requirements for casinos. These organizations are focused on tracking tax reporting and compliance at a level not easily achieved by casinos, and they have recently started auditing at a much higher rate. Such audits include significant penalties and fines in excess of $50K. The majority of casinos in the U.S. currently use a manual reporting system as it has been done this way for many years. Auditors are increasingly focused on this process as there is much room for error and omission.
With the TruCom product, you can easily consolidate the current manual process into a simple, easy to use, software platform designed to specifically protect you from errors during your audit. The software includes forms and features such as:
A jackpot winner is caught up in the moment. Make it easier for him or her to complete the necessary paperwork. Process the jackpot directly with electronic W2G forms—or 1042S forms for non-U.S. citizens.
If your casino averages hundreds of W2G forms a night, e-forms save your staff time and effort – and you the related costs. Any opportunity to take room for error and responsibility out of your cashier's hands is smart. Our redemption machines also make it possible to reduce or eliminate cashier staff, which is money to reinvest in your casino in the long run.
Our system helps you stay Title 31 compliant and avoid regulation issues. Some companies don't offer the forms on paper, let alone electronically. Track total winnings and alert agents when a player wins over $400. The risk of employee theft is small because it's a closed loop.

text: Autumn 2016-2017 25413 Janice Knight This course considers the power of the West as an imagined construct, an ideologically charged and prophetic "direction" in American cultural production. Beginning with Elizabethan dreams of wealth and haven, as well as Revolutionary and Jeffersonian articulations of America's redemptive role in world politics, we will focus primarily on 19th century novels and paintings of westwarding as an American "Manifest Destiny." Finally, we will turn to the marketing of the west in dime novels, the Wild West Show, Hollywood films, and contemporary television. Throughout the quarter we will follow out the contemporary challenges posed to boosters of the mythic west. (B, G)

10 years ago a pair of brothers got together in their parent's basement and decided to change the world. They decided they were going to make a horror site. And with nothing more than a Commodore 64 and 6 pack of Mountain Dew Code Red they did just that in October of 2007 when they launched BloodyGoodHorror.com.
And a lot has happened since the site's launch. They started a podcast. Some people got assaulted by a woman wearing an American flag polo at a horror convention. They took a 5-mile hike in Manhattan in the dead of winter while being mocked by the group's business manager. It's been a lot of fun
And we want to share that fun. That's why we're throwing a big ol' BGH 10 Year Anniversary Back to Spooky School Cocktail Party and Midnight Movie Screening in the fine city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
It's all happening on October 21st. Here are the details…

Where: Great Lakes Distillery
616 W Virginia St, Milwaukee, WI 53204
Time: 6:30 PM - 10:30 PM

Prayer of Hanuman
Anyone, even a person in an impure state, who absorbs his mind in Lord Krishna for just a moment at the time of death burns up all traces of sinful reactions and immediately attains the supreme transcendental destination in a pure, spiritual form as effulgent as the sun.
Speculative knowledge alone, without devotional service, is not able to give liberation. On the other hand, even without knowldege one can obtain liberation if one engages in the Lord's devotional service. — Sri Chaitanya Caritamrita, Madhya Lila, 22.21.
A man bound by the hands and feet cannot free himself. He must be helped by a person who is unbound because the bound cannot help the bound, the rescuer must be liberated. Therefore, only Lord Krishna or His bona fide representative can release the conditioned soul.
Pure devotees, who take transcendental pleasure in hearing and chanting the glories of the Lord, do not care for any kind of liberation; even if they are offered the five liberations, they refuse to accept them

While still just a blip on the GDP growth screen, Kazakhstan's insurance sector has several catalysts to build premiums on, wider economic conditions permitting.
The relative recovery of the local currency since the trauma of Kazakhstan's 2015 unpegging of the tenge from the dollar pays dividends to the broad economy, and by extension the financial universe and the insurance sector within it. Official data from its regulator, the National Bank of Kazakhstan (NBK), as of year-to-December 1, 2016 puts total sector assets at KZT865.4 billion, up 4.9% YtD, shared among 32 insurance firms, seven of which operate in the life insurance branch. Meanwhile, sector liabilities were up 7.9% YtD to KZT454.1 billion, 92.4% of which comprised insurance reserves of KZT419 .2 billion.
Official figures confirm a concentrated market where the 10 largest insurance firms hold 74% of total assets, 75.1% of total equity capital, 56.6% of overall insurance premiums, and 53.7% of total insurance payments. This suggests that large firms are capable of, and prepared to, survive in a limited pool, where the share of the sector's total assets to GDP is at just 1.95%, while insurance premiums contribute 0.75% to GDP and the per capita insurance premium ratio is at KZT18,777.5. And when adding smaller players to the mix, the other implication is price competition on what, after all, is a market of fairly homogeneous products.
The NBK has taken steps to establish a stable trajectory towards wider national program goals for financial development. Accordingly, the NBK, together with the Association of Insurers of Kazakhstan and the Kazakhstan Financiers Association, have laid out an insurance market roadmap envisaging a climate of competition on quality over price. And in support of the National Plan, on November 18, 2015, President Nursultan Nazarbayev signed social health insurance legislation on compulsory social health insurance. The idea is to bolster the healthcare system by sharing the burden of responsibility among state, employer, and citizen. Accordingly, as of July 1, 2017 the state contribution to compulsory insurance will be 4% of assessed cost, rising to 5% in 2018, 6% in 2023, and 7% in 2024. Meanwhile, initial employer contributions to the fund of 2% will rise by 1ppt per annum to 5% in 2020. Employee contributions commence at 1% in 2019, rising to 2% in 2020, although select employee and entrepreneur cases commence at 2% in 2017, rising incrementally to 7% by 2020
A Case Study
Local insurer Kazakhmys, in business for 15 years, is today the nation's third-largest player. In an interview, CEO Amina Kassymova informed TBY that the firm had "excelled in the market (being) ranked second in the general collection of insurance premiums." On November 4, 2016 Fitch Rating confirmed the financial strength rating (FSR) of Kazakhmys at B+, acknowledging its strong capitalization and healthy profitability; the firm posted total 9M2016 profit of KZT230 million (USD680,340). Fitch's wide-angled view was instructive, as it found the insurer vulnerable to the nation's as-yet developing capital markets, which curbs the strength of investment portfolios. That of Kazakhmys was 79% concentrated in bank deposits during the previous year. Moreover, 58% of the investment portfolio was located in local banks, predominantly of B ratings. For 9M2016 premiums rose 99% following 48% annual growth in 2015, essentially driven by compulsory civil liability insurance in the auto branch, which had climbed to 68% of the portfolio by net premiums from 52% in 2015, which itself had doubled the 2014 print.
Official data for the aforementioned period of 2016 put total insurance premiums passed for reinsurance at KZT126 billion, making 37.8% of total insurance premiums. And tellingly, of that sum 86.6% went for reinsurance to non-resident parties. Meanwhile, total insurance premiums received for reinsurance were at KZT3141 billion. Reinsurance assets of KZT115.4 billion for the period claimed 13.3% of total assets on a YtD rise of 31.5%.
Returning to Kazakhmys, Fitch concluded that its reliance on external reinsurance was high, at 90% during 9M2016, up from 84% a year before. The firm mostly turns to reinsurance to safeguard large corporate contracts, enduring volatile commissions in the process. Touching on the topic of ratings that Fitch had raised in its abovemention appraisal, CEO Kassymova stressed that the company had "developed a balanced reinsurance structure that allows our customers to be confident in their choices, because 90% of the portfolio is reinsured in the companies with a rating of A- or higher."
Growth from Where?
Where growth potential is concerned, Kazakhstan has several bases covered. First of all there are its dynamic demographics, with life expectancy of 69.9 as of 2013, added to which is higher urbanization of around 60%; this despite the government's attention to the agricultural sector for realizing the longer-term National Plan 2050. Thus, although coming from a low base, life insurance, namely pension and endowment products, are seen performing strongly in line with economic advancement. As of December 1, 2016, total life insurance premiums were at KZT49.8 billion, up 5.5% YoY. In bold contrast, the 31% YoY rise of non-life premiums took the tally to KZT283.6 billion. Furthermore, Timetric's Insurance Intelligence Center (IIC) research forecasts the life insurance sector doubling KZT56.6 billion in 2013 to KZT132.7 billion by 2018.
Added to this is the fact that economic trauma yields its own fruit. The Kazakhstani citizen has seen first hand the reality of devaluation and economic uncertainty, which the NBK has now largely reversed. From such experience comes caution, but also awareness of the need for protection—key to viewing insurance as a life investment for oneself and one's loved ones. Going forward, awareness programs from both regulator and sector players, combined with a wider leveraging of the digital platform, will go a long way to converting precautions into premiums.
Some Additional Numbers
In April of 2016, S&P, too, evaluated the local sector, maintaining its "moderate" insurance industry country risk assessment (IICRA) for the property/casualty (P/C) insurance industry, regardless of such challenges as low oil prices denting GDP growth, and a weakened currency negatively impacting consumer sentiment. It, therefore, anticipated decelerating demand for voluntary insurance. Yet subsequent data has proven somewhat encouraging, as for year-to-December 1, 2016 the total volume of insurance premiums was at KZT 333.4 billion, up 26.7% YoY. Moreover, the bulk of insurance payments made came precisely from voluntary personal insurance at 35.7%, followed by voluntary property insurance at 31.6% and compulsory insurance at 32.7%.
In its assessment, S&P forecast sector growth of 3-5% in nominal terms for 2016-2017, supported largely by obligatory business lines for the period. Yet its prognosis was also for negative growth based upon its then forecast inflation rates of 10% in 2016 (actual print 8.29%) and 8% in 2017. For 11M2016, premiums derrived from compulsory insurance of KZT84.2 billion claimed 25.3% of total insurance premiums. In terms of payments, an area where the sector has traditionally suffered from loose practices, 11M2016 saw a print of KZT76.8 billion, up 27.8% YoY. In terms of robustness as determined by capital adequacy, the sector held regulatory capital of KZT295.7 for 11M2016, up 30.7% YtD. Yet in terms of sector profitability we observe net income of KZT73.1 billion, marking a 57.4% YoY decline, where return on assets (ROA) came in at 9%, and return on equity (ROE) at 18.3%.
As to near term expectations, Kazakhmys' Kassymova, who foresees potential 5-7% sector growth, feels that "its future will depend more on participants' ability to optimize insurance products and business processes (where) first-class service, timely payments, and an overall client-orientated strategy are the keys to solving many issues."

A weekly meme from shouldbereading:
To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…
• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you'll read next?
• What are you currently reading?
First, I'm dipping back into steampunk with The Doomsday Vault: A Novel of the Clockwork Empire by Steven Harper. According to the cover copy, In a clockwork Brittania, Alice's prospects are slim. At 21, her age and her unladylike interest in automatons have sealed her fate as an undesirable marriage prospect. But a devastating plague sends Alice off in a direction beyond the pale-towards a clandestine organization, mad inventors, life-altering secrets, and into the arms of an intrepid fiddle-playing airship pilot. Well, now. What's not to love?
In nonfiction, I'm devouring All New Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew.
He was an engineer and efficiency expert who had never gardened until he retired, and then turned his expertise on the backyard garden. If you're an experienced gardener you may immediately roll your eyes, but I'm telling you, this not only makes sense but it's easy. Much easier than tilling and plowing and raking and weeding. I wish I'd read the book before I got started, actually. I thought I could follow the various videos on youtube and learn enough, and I did, as far as that goes. But there are certain things I would have done differently had I actually read the book first.
• What did you recently finish reading?
Dissolution The first in a mystery series set in the time of Henry VIII, with Matthew Shardlake sent by Cromwell to root out papist sin and debauchery (plus straighten out some financial issues that should result in more money for the Crown, natch) from a problematical abbey. This was been highly recommended to me and I think it was an excellent mystery and historical setting. I figured out one part of the mystery fairly early but there were so many twists and turns, a complex story and world which made for a fun reading/listening experience. It had an excellent reader.
Half a Crown by Jo Walton. Having finally read the third in Jo Walton's "Small Change Trilogy," I have to say I loved the trilogy as a whole even though the ending of this one was satisfying on a story level but felt rushed on an emotional level. I have no reservations about recommending it to those who love alternate history, and/or an exploration of "what ifs" that tackle the British class system and prejudices and how they might have evolved post WWII had they not outright won the war (along with the Allies). Hmm, that sounds rather dry, doesn't it? Well, it's not at all. Love the series. Check it out.
I also had a fast, fun read of International Kittens of Mystery by Chris Dolley. Chock full of darling kitten adventures and photos! Too cute!
• What do you think you'll read next?
I read samples of several books before I found one that kept me involved this week with Doomsday Vault. Oddly enough (maybe not so oddly?) non of them were the ones below that I listed last week. Maybe I should try one of them next. Stay tuned until next Wednesday to find out which book shouldered its way to the top of the stack!
What about you? What are your WWWs? If you post on your blog, leave a link below! Otherwise answer here.

dataset : GLDAS Noah Land Surface Model L4 3 hourly 0.25 x 0.25 degree Version 2.0 V020
GLDAS Noah Land Surface Model L4 3 hourly 0.25 x 0.25 degree Version 2.0 V020
Global Land Data Assimilation System Version 2 (hereafter, GLDAS-2) has two components: one forced entirely with the Princeton meteorological forcing data (hereafter, GLDAS-2.0), and the other forced with a combination of model and observation based forcing data sets (hereafter, GLDAS-2.1). This data set, GLDAS-2.0 0.25 degree 3-hourly, contains a series of land surface parameters simulated from the Noah Model 3.3, currently covers from 1948 to 2010 and will be extended to recent years as the data set becomes available. The model simulation was initialized on simulation date January 1, 1948, using soil moisture and other state fields from the LSM climatology for that day of the year. The simulation was forced by the global meteorological forcing data set from Princeton University (Sheffield et al., 2006). The simulation used the common GLDAS data sets for land cover (MCD12Q1: Friedl et al., 2010), land water mask (MOD44W: Carroll et al., 2009), soil texture (Reynolds, 1999), and elevation (GTOPO30). The MODIS based land surface parameters are used in the current GLDAS-2.x products while the AVHRR base parameters were used in GLDAS-1 and previous GLDAS-2 products (prior to October 2012). The main objective for Version 2 is to create more climatologically consistent data sets using the Princeton forcing data sets extending from 1948. In Version 1, forcing sources switched several times throughout the record from 1979 to present, which introduced unnatural trends and exhibited highly uncertain forcing fields in 1995-1997. Other enhancements made in Version 2 include model version upgrade, switching to MODIS based land surface parameter data sets, and initialization of soil moisture over desert. In NOAH model, the bottom layer temperature data set was also updated. More details regarding the land surface parameter data changes at http://ldas.gsfc.nasa.gov/gldas/. WGRIB or other GRIB reader is required to read the files. The data set applies a user-defined parameter table to indicate the contents and parameter numbers. The GRIBTAB file (http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/hydrology/grib_tabs/gribtab_GLDAS_V2.txt) shows a list of parameters for this data set, along with their Product Definition Section (PDS) IDs and units. There are four vertical levels for the Soil Moisture (PDS 086) and Soil Temperature (PDS 085) in the Noah GRIBT files. For more information, please see the README Document at http://hydro1.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/s4pa/GLDAS/GLDAS_NOAH025_3H.020/doc/README.GLDAS2.pdf or the GrADS ctl file at ftp://hydro1.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/gds/GLDAS/GLDAS_NOAH025_3H.020.ctl.
