What is happening with regards to the official rectification of this issue?
TANK YOU!!! This work for me.In this installment, Michael discusses what’s happening in the economy now, including higher stock valuation, volatility, and global risks.
Michael Conway: Welcome back. In this installment, we’ll look at what’s happening in the economy now. The current state of financial markets can best be highlighted by the following questions: Where are we in the bull market? Does volatility reflect the true risk of the global economy? How will the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank affect US relations with the world?
Stocks have obviously had a tremendous run from the depths of the recession in March of 2009, and we had record corporate profits during the first quarter of 2015. However, recent disappointing earning results from Blue Chips, and a lower than expected earnings forecast have weighed on stocks. Meanwhile, investors continue to turn to riskier assets amid low yields in the bond market. As of July 23rd, the Schiller price-to-earnings ratio marked 27.14, suggesting the stock market is expensive relative to the median ratio 16. This higher than normal ratio reflects investor demand for return and an expectation for continued stability from the hand of the Fed.
Finally, China’s bubble found a pin. The market lost over a quarter of its value in only 13 trading days. An early June bull market was in bear market territory by July. In the end, fundamentals do actually count and valuations matter.
Is the fall an indication of economic decline? Perhaps, but not a guarantee. Will this negatively affect the Chinese economy? Absolutely. In an effort to bolster markets and avoid a crash, the Chinese government established significant trading limitations. At one point, investors could freely trade just 93 of the 2879 listed companies. As you can see in the chart, the green columns represent the percentage of freely traded stocks, which plummeted as the market sold off in mid July.
Meanwhile, the government pumped money into the market in hopes to maintain stable prices. However controlling fears of collapse seemed to worsen the problem, as many stocks slipped dramatically after resuming trading. The China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is an emerging strong public institution with a capital base of about 100 billion. It will finance infrastructure developments in Asia, competing with the World Bank and Asia Development Bank. The World Bank is essentially controlled by the United States and the Asian Development Bank is controlled by the Japanese bureaucrats.
The establishment of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is a sign of strength by the Chinese to free itself from the frustrations with the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. In addition, it’s a sign of Chinese leadership to increase economic cooperation between Asia and Europe. Many large economies throughout the world have joined the bank. The UK, closest ally with the United States, surprised even Beijing by joining the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank despite the US pressures not to do so.
Now that we’ve discussed the past and the present, our final very video will discuss some expectations for the future.For today, I'm reviewing the newly launched lunch box from Trudeau Corp.
Trudeau have been working on this lovely bento box for sometime, so I was really eager to try it out. The box comes with removable inner containers with lids. It is microwave and dishwasher safe. It is BPA free and made from eco friendly materials. It also comes with a five years warranty.
The bento box comes with compartments which I thought it's a great idea. It also has a large capacity, which is great if you have a huge appetite. And if you decide to pack lesser for that day, you can just use one compartment, and fill the other one with a bottle, napkins and cutleries. The compartment on the left holds 610ml. The 3 sections on the right holds 400ml, 148ml and 109 ml respectively.
I packed the bento with a salami sandwich and decorated it with a Little Red Riding Hood Hello Kitty. I also packed in a salad, yoghurt and srawberries.
Hello Kitty is made from crabstick, cheese and nori.
And here's the inspiration for the bento, my Little Red Riding Hood Hello Kitty from MacDonalds. :)

This is such a cute bento! Love the outlines you did.
This is so cute!Have you ever had that experience where two minutes after an encounter you thought of something you should’ve said? I don’t mean that situation where you’re having an argument and you suddenly thought of a witty retort you should have made, but rather that important piece of information that you should have included – although both situations might be due to the same memory process.
I had this experience walking up Poverty Flat Road in Henry Coe State Park. Two male teenagers running down the road stopped and asked me if I knew the trails. After reviewing the map we determined they had taken a wrong turning and so we worked out a route to get them back on track to complete the run. At this point concerns surfaced in my mind; what if they took another wrong turn and went out into the wilderness? It was now about 1:30 PM; the temperature was in the low 40s and dropping. A wrong turn could have them wondering around in the dark at almost freezing temperatures. They had food and water but no torch so I rummaged around in my pack and found in the pocket a torch. At the same time I came across my whistle so I gave them the whistle as well. After I repeated the directions we went our separate ways. Minutes later I realized I had not explained the purpose of the whistle. While it may seem obvious to any hiker, I don’t know that it would be so obvious to a non-hiker. Too late! No way to catch them now.
In the end I suspect they found their way back on track since there have been no reports of people missing in Henry Coe State Park.
And what of the hike? Well, this is a hike to recommend.
It takes you down to the valley floor at Poverty Flat where the creek makes its way through the narrow valley bed. On the day I went through there were several tents around the area, although I can’t believe that in the cold and damp of the day it was very pleasant.
Much of the time you are on the hillside or the ridge where you get sweeping views as the park extends out before you as far as the eye can see.
On this particular day there was a lot of mist at lower elevations, reducing the view on the hillsides to as little as a few hundred yards. I found the view at Frog Lake to be a little mystical, although paradoxically I thought it was a good metaphor for business and the innovation of new products.
A prime marketing strategy for giving customers value is innovation but the challenge for many is judging how far into the future you should push. If your products leap too far into the future, it’s likely that the market will not be ready and you will fail. If you don’t go far enough, it’s unlikely you will achieve any sort of differentiation; with no differentiation you may get sales but you are unlikely to add value to your company. The suggestion in this metaphor of the misty lake is that we need to reach a point where things just start to disappear from view but no further.
And so back to the hike. One other point of note was the spotting of Indian Warrior, a wildflower that shows an affinity for the Manzanita tree and so if you can look on the ground under these trees you will often find these flowers in early spring. The staff at Park HQ said this was the first sighting of the flowers this year.
All in all this route offers a great mixture of views, good exercise and, as with most hikes in Henry Coe, a chance to spend time in a place where there are no buildings on the horizon and few signs of civilization. However, one word of caution. This would be considered a strenuous hike by many so don’t undertake it unless you are in good physical condition.
Sitting quietly at sunset at a waterhole I was joined by a flock of 20 Gang-gang Cockatoo. This male was curious and climbed down to eye level to take a closer look at me. All the time making little chatting sounds. Eventually after about 15 minutes they moved on to roost nearby.Crichton LGBT+ invites campus students to their first event – Meet and Greet.
