Since the previous meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), several risks to the inflation outlook have begun to materialise. While headline inflation is comfortably within the inflation target band, indications are that we have passed the low point of the current cycle. Developments in the international environment have placed upward pressure on the inflation trajectory, while the domestic growth outlook remains challenging.
The year-on-year inflation rate, as measured by the consumer price index (CPI) for all urban areas, was 4.4% in May 2018 and accelerated to 4.6% in June. Goods price inflation increased to 4.2% (up from 3.5% in May), while services price inflation moderated to 4.9% (down from 5.3%). The South African Reserve Bank’s (SARB) measure of core inflation – which excludes food, fuel and electricity – declined to 4.2% in June. Producer price inflation for final manufactured goods increased marginally to 4.6% in May.
Despite remaining within the target band throughout the forecast period, the SARB’s model projects an increase in headline inflation, peaking at levels closer to the upper end of the target range. Thus far, the impact of the value-added tax (VAT) increase appears to have been less than anticipated. However, the weaker rand exchange rate and the higher oil price assumptions result in a more elevated inflation trajectory. Headline inflation is now expected to average 4.8% in 2018 (down from 4.9%) before increasing to 5.6% in 2019 and decreasing again to 5.4% in 2020 (up from 5.2% in both years). Headline CPI inflation is expected to peak at around 5.7% in the first and second quarters of 2019 before declining to 5.3% at the end of 2020. The forecast for core inflation is 4.6% in 2018 (up from 4.5%), 5.5% in 2019 and 5.3% in 2020 (up from 5.1% in both years).
Inflation expectations, as reflected in the survey conducted by the Bureau for Economic Research (BER) during the second quarter of 2018, are largely unchanged in the near term, averaging 5.2% in 2018, 5.4% in 2019 and 5.5% in 2020. Five-year-ahead inflation expectations are at a historical low of 5.4%. Expectations implicit in the break-even inflation rates (i.e. the yield differential between conventional and inflation-linked government bonds) declined marginally across all maturities.
While the global economic outlook has remained broadly favourable, expectations are that world growth will begin to slow in the third quarter of 2018. In addition, escalating trade tensions are contributing to uncertainty around global trade. World trade volumes contracted sharply in April 2018 – the worst performance since May 2015. The global inflation outlook remains benign but is on a moderate upward path largely due to the rising oil prices. The prices of most other commodities have been retreating.
Since the previous meeting of the MPC, the rand has depreciated by 7.2% against the US dollar, by 6.2% against the euro, and by 4.9% on a trade-weighted basis. At current levels, the SARB’s model assesses the rand to be undervalued. It is likely that the local currency, along with other emerging market currencies, will remain volatile. The implied starting point for the rand is R13.40 against the US dollar compared with R12.37 at the time of the previous MPC meeting.
A key external risk to the rand remains the possibility of tighter global financial conditions. However, the pace of monetary policy normalisation in the advanced economies continues to be gradual. At this stage, further policy tightening by the United States (US) Federal Reserve (Fed) is expected to follow a measured path in the absence of significant inflation or growth surprises. Higher-than-expected US fiscal deficits could result in a stronger monetary policy response.
The domestic economic growth outlook for this year is weaker than we had expected in May. Following the broad-based contraction of 2.2% in the first quarter and early indications of modest growth in the second quarter, the SARB’s forecast now indicates a growth rate of 1.2% for 2018 compared with 1.7% previously. The forecast for 2019 is 1.9%, marginally higher than the previous forecast of 1.7%, while the forecast for 2020 is unchanged at 2.0%. At these growth rates, the negative output gap is wider in the near term but is still expected to close in 2020.
The composite leading business cycle indicator declined for the second consecutive month in April, consistent with a deteriorating outlook. Business confidence, as reflected in the Rand Merchant Bank (RMB)/BER business confidence index, decreased to 39 index points in the second quarter. In this context, gross fixed capital formation contracted by 3.2% in the first quarter and is expected to remain weak in 2018.
Consumption expenditure by households, although slightly weaker than last year, is expected to be positively impacted by the improved consumer confidence and the increase in households’ disposable income. In the near term, however, consumption expenditure is likely to be constrained by the VAT increase and other tax changes, weak employment growth as well as subdued growth in credit extension to households. Although credit extension to households increased earlier in 2018, year-on-year growth remains low.
Average wage growth is expected to remain elevated at around 7% over the forecast period. This is particularly a concern if labour productivity growth continues to decline. Much of the upward pressure on wage inflation arises from the public sector wage settlement, which is at levels above headline inflation.
Higher international oil prices will contribute to petrol price inflation in 2018. The impact on headline inflation is somewhat moderated by lower food price inflation. Annual food price inflation is expected to remain within the target range over the forecast period, and is not seen as a major risk to the inflation outlook. This is largely driven by an adequate supply of grains over the near term, alongside moderating meat price increases. The MPC noted the rising inflation trajectory which, while remaining within the target range, is moving closer to the upper end of the range.
Key uncertainties in the global environment remain. The continued strength of the US dollar (which has appreciated against most currencies), any sustained elevation of oil prices, escalating trade tensions as well as geopolitical developments continue to pose risks to the inflation outlook. The rand will remain sensitive to changes in global monetary policy settings and investor sentiment towards the emerging markets.
The MPC assesses the risks to the inflation forecast to be on the upside. A number of key risks and uncertainties highlighted in recent meetings persist. Electricity prices continue to pose a further upside risk.
The growth forecast has deteriorated, and the outlook remains constrained. Demand pressures in the economy are not assessed to pose a risk to the inflation outlook. The MPC assesses the risks to the growth forecast to be more or less balanced. A firm commitment to credible structural policy initiatives and implementation is required to make a marked impact on employment and potential output.
The MPC unanimously decided to keep the repurchase rate unchanged at 6.5% per annum. At these levels, the MPC still assesses the stance of monetary policy to be accommodative and appropriate given the current state of the economy. However, the MPC has noted the deteriorating inflation outlook, driven mainly by supply-side factors. The approach of the MPC continues to be one of looking through the firstround effects and focusing on the second-round effects. With risks and uncertainties at higher levels, the MPC will continue to be vigilant and will not hesitate to act should there be second-round effects that take us significantly away from the midpoint of the inflation target range.
The implied path of policy rates generated by the Quarterly Projection Model has changed since the previous MPC meeting. Whereas previously four increases of 25 basis points each by the end of 2020 were indicated, five increases of 25 basis points are now implied. As emphasised previously, the implied path remains a broad policy guide which can and does change in either direction between meetings in response to new developments and changing risks. The MPC does not mechanically respond to changes in the path, and the assessment of the balance of risks to the forecast cannot be done by the model.

Could you please NOT include entries from the Backup group when doing a search? Or, at least, make it an option. When I search for something, I don’t want to get confused by seeing all old entries that I have changed but I like the backup feature so I don’t want to just delete them all.
Love your app. I get all my friends and family to use it, once I convince them to not use a single password everywhere.
KyPass doesn’t include entries from the backup group since a long time ago.
Do you use kdb or kdbx format ?
If it’s kdb, the “Backup” folder at the root is used as recycled bin.
If it’s kdbx, KyPass use the “recycled bin” folder as indicate in KeePass.
I been using KeePass so long I never noticed the change. Thanks for the quick response.
Kypass companion will not delete anything in the recycle folder, and the folder always sits at the top of the list. In Kypass iOS, it is alphabetized. If you want a permanent recycle folder, would it make sense to put it on the bottom in both apps?
Pourrait-on avoir un alias plutôt que le nom du fichier. Particulièrement pour les fichiers chargés à partir du web utilisés en lecture seule.
I would love to see companion run in the menu bar only with mini clipboard mgr so that when you click the entry it copies URL, username, and password onto the temp “clipboard”. And then customizable keyboard shortcuts to access each bit of data. Then browser plugins become a little less important.
Urgent fix needed for serious security problem.
When using Kypass connected to dropbox and Dropbox has a pin number, Kypass will ask you to select a .kdb file, ask for the Keepass password, then it will ask for this pin code, WHICH IS A FOUR DIGIT number. So far so good. But now, if you succeeded to open a Keepass file and close the Kypass program, you will need only the 4-digit pin code in order to access the keepass file after reopening Kypass.
Setting timeout to 0 does not help.
Please note, that this makes the program unusable. A four-digit code can too easily be broken!!
Just don’t use 4-digit pin 🙂 4-digit pin is not mandatory. It’s just a way to speed up the opening of the database.
1. Right.. I’m looking how to speed up that.
3. I know 🙁 And it’s ok on iPad.. I don’t know why. I’ll try to fix it.
4. Maybe.. I’ll test it.
Thanks for writing kypass companion – I am using a Mac since three weeks and have gotten rid of the Mono-based version last week, when i discovered your nice program. It is really good to use and quite fast – i have recommended it to some folks, hope they buy it too.
Since you are obviously working on a new release and ask for any feature to be included that is still missing, i just wanted to ask for two additions, that would make (at least my) life somewhat easier.
Could you please add an option to automatically open the last / a default kbd or kbdx-file?
I am currently working mainly with a single file and every time kypass companion was closed, i have to re-open this file (at least the path is suggested).
Also could you include that the layout of the main window gets saved when kypass companion is closed? the tree menu on the left has some longer entries for me and quite a depth. It is cumbersome to dig through it again after a restart and reposition all panes.
How do you quit Kypass Companion ? If you quit by pressing cmd-q or select the ‘quit Kypass companion’ in the menu bar, the next time you start Kypass, Kypass will reopen the last database.
Same thing for the layout of the main window.
I don’t understand why it doesn’t work.
Contact me via support(at)kyuran.be if you want to debug that with me.
I have the same issue on my MAC with KyPass. For the last release, Under FILE, MOST RECENT, the choice is BLANK. I end KyPass by selecting QUIT KYPASS COMPANION.
Would it be possible to put autofocus on search-field (looking-glass) at start-up?
Usually, when I start KyPass, I do a CMD+F to do the search.
The computer INSTALLED but also that an error has been made.
Don’t see the icon any were and don’t know what to do. Should I uninstall? Have no clue how to do that!
Could you delete it and reinstall ?
Hi, here is a small list which you can take into consideration.
The back button (top left) is sometimes dark red on darker red background but I guess that’s what you mean with ‘maintenance’?
It is not possible to scroll through the password field in case it is a very very safe (I mean long) password.
When hitting the search button I get a search box with the focus and the beginning of an alphabetical list below. When tapping on that list the search is canceled and I will be sent back to the group view. In my opinion, it would be nice to be able to scroll through that alphabetical list in case I do not want to do a search.
– I look for the long password field.
– Good idea for the search box.. I’m looking for it too.
How to use iCloud Drive with KyPass 3 ???
I bought the KyPass Companion. Great app but I have a question. Why does the application want to connect to this website on starting up and what is it trying to do?
To verify if a new release exists.
For some reason Kypass Companion goes mental with the CPU when you ‘hide’ it in Mac OS X. I have started minimising instead, but would prefer to hide it. Any chance of a fix?
I’ll try top reproduce that.
Seconding this! I jump about 20% when I hide the window.
Fixed in the next version.
Could you please provide a new link for the Kypass Companion Safari extension? The old link https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/154281/KyPass-Ext.safariextz is not working anymore.
Safari extension is not supported anymore..
I am currently using Kypass 3 sync’ed to my synology NAS thanks to WebDAV. The sync is working good but I was wondering if it was possible to protect the settings with a pin or a password. My password to access the WebDAV server is plain text and if not already possible, I think a password protection is necessary for a security application.
I am also using WebDav and support this idea.
I would like fingerprint support on my iPhone 5S instead of 4 digit Pin, would be great!!
I would love to see an Extension using the new iOS8 extension API so that you can access password entries from the secure keepass Database within Mobile Safari and other apps.
The current update of 1password for example contains such a feature.
Are there plans to implement TouchID-unlocking with the API?
I’m not sure if this can be done without introducing vulnerability, but it would be great if it can.
Could you please add the following features to Kypass 3.4.
I agree with you. Those three would make this app awesome!
And what about the TouchID?
Great to hear, thanks for the reply!
Hey, I think it will be great if you guys would add touch-ID support and maybe something with safari, now that iOS 8 can do that stuff. Touch ID is possible for sure but Safari support I’m not sure about.
Haven’t bought this app yet but certainly will once I’m sure it’s gonna have Touch ID support.
Please provide an IOS Safari extension for direct integration into Safari.
I use the kypass data for several purposes and would like to see a spreadsheet style view of all data records with the ability to sort on each field column.
Great app, I use it a lot. The new options iOS offers will certainly make it even more usefull, good to see you’re already working on it.
That said, this is a bit awkward; I’m using Kypass with a webdav connection to my owncloud-cloud and that sometimes breaks. In particular after an upgrade, of iOS or the app, the connection is lost. Removing and re-adding the webdav-connection does sometimes work, but mostly I need to remove the app and re-install it. Would be nice if this could be a bit more robust.
Would be great, if KyPass 3 (iOS) could add pictures from the camera and add it as an attachment.
I’m afraid that I’ll increase the database size too much..
Not usable ? I’m still using on my iPhone 5 with ios8.
Can you integrate the TouchID to unlock KyPass?
Now that apps have access to the touch-device I would really like you to use the fingerprint to unlock my database on the phone instead of entering the master password for each database.
Does it mean that KyPass recognizes file by the extension only? This is silly.
It’s due to sandbox restriction in Mac AppStore.
I would Love to have other ways of adding a keyfile.
I have no computer around that has iTunes installed so i can’t upload the file that way.
I would like the ability to set the auto locking of the database to a value lower than 1 minute.
One more related auto-locking request: a more specific option to auto-lock the database if kypass companion is not the active window for a certain period of time.
KyPass Companion: “field referencing” please.
Have you ever thought about adding Safari (or any other iOs web browser) integration like 1password does (it adds a pass item below share menu) ?
Yes. But not yet implemented.
I use Keepass on windows and every database is “attached” to a key file so that I don’t need to browse my folders in order to find it. This little thing would help a lot on my Mac.
I don’t like the first suggestion: it’s not very secure. If the key file is remembered, why do use it ?
For the second suggestion, I have the same problem 🙂 I’ll add this feature in the next version.
I use it because it makes the database more secured. The key file never leaves my computer nor my phone, I just don’t want to browse my folders and sub folders every time I need to open the database.
So it is not *less* secured then remembering key/password in Mac OS keyring, is it ?
> Location. The point of a key file is that you have something to authenticate with (in contrast to master passwords, where you know something), for example a file on a USB stick. The key file content (i.e. the key data contained within the key file) needs to be kept secret.
>> Applicable part: < The point is not to keep the location of the key file secret — selecting a file out of thousands existing on your hard disk basically doesn’t increase security at all, because it’s very easy for malware/attackers to find out the correct file (for example by observing the last access times of files, the recently used files list of Windows, malware scanner logs, etc.). Trying to keep the key file location secret is security by obscurity, i.e. not really effective.
Recently switching to mac, I bought KyPass since it was a port from KeePass which I used in Windows. I’m in no way a novice to OS X, but for the life of me I cannot get KyPass to work maybe someone here has seen this behaviour before and can show me the light..
I’m using Yosemite (GM) – appreciate there is work in progress to fix some bugs to support Yosemite.
Start KyPass -> Click New Document. Enter password, repeat and select a key file – it just defaults to an iCloud location I accept the default choice and I”m presented with the default entries (which, on a slight tangent, I cannot delete which is annoying, even if they are in recycle bin). I click Save, chose a filename and once saved I close the app. Start the app back up, open the file I just created. Enter the password and immediately I get “Invalid Password!”. I try the whole process again avoiding iCloud or online storage and same problem persists. Since “Help isn’t available for KyPass Companion”, I thought I would ask you good people here.
When you open the database again, do you also enter the key file ?
The encryption is made from the combinaison of ‘password’ and ‘key file contains’. If you don’t want to re-enter the key file each time, just don’t use key file and only a password.
What about fingerprint on new versions?
Hi everyone, any news on TouchID? And also iPhone 6 and 6 Plus screen sizes?
We love the app by the way!!!
I know first one was announced begin October already, but no news so far.
I hope second one also made it to the list of new improvements in the next version.
Keep up the good work, KyPass is anyway one of the few apps I use every day !
In your twitter post on 3 October 2014, you wrote “TouchId for #KyPass is working now ! Expect a release in a few days 🙂 http://www.kyuran.be“. Two months has passed and I was wondering if you could give us an update.
As always, I appreciate your hard work on these updates and will do whatever I can to help support you! THANKS!!!
A lot of things is added in this version.. and a lot of bug.
I’ve finished the next release of KyPass Companion. I’m now fixing the bug in KyPass iOS and release it soon.
Nearly 3 months ago, it sounded like you were getting ready to release a new KyPass for iOS with TouchID support. I’m still waiting patiently, but I was wondering if you could please provide a status update.
Any chance to have ownCloud support? TouchID?
I’m using Kypass together with my owncloud to store the Keepass-file, since it has build in webdav support.
I’d love to have a keyboard shortcut for Quick Add.
I just bought this app.
Google drive sync is broken again on KyPass iOS v3.3 since I updated my devices to iOS 8. Dang! This is a big differentiator for your app… I dislike and don’t use Dropbox. Please fix it (again!) Thank you so much!
In addition to TouchID support, I’d love to see a password generator, with configurable options (even though a mix of upper case, lower case, numbers and specials characters with length 8 is good enough for most websites’ requirements).
Just downloaded kypass 3 and kypass companion. unpleasantly surprised to not find anything about importing from keychain. No option, no help. Can you give us any details on that? I’m not willing to import my 275+ pw by hand.
Apple does not allow to export all the entries directly.
Just to share an issue I reported several months ago which hasn’t been fixed to date: keyword search doesn’t look into URLs at all. Domain names are an important source for me to find an entry, so I hope this will be fixed soon.
Safari extension doesn’t depend of KyPass Companion. It depends on keepasshttp that does already exists in KyPass Companion.
Hi there. I would love to see automatic database reloading if the on-disk file changes. Alternatively, I would love to see auto-merge if I save and the disk copy has been changed since the database was loaded. This will be particularly useful for users who sync using Dropbox or some other file syncing service.
Also, for some reason, I can’t load my user and pass into chase.com. Maybee it’s a bug. Not really sure.
On-disk file change was added in the next release.
Auto-merge is more complicated 🙂 But it’s in the todolist.
Hello, I’ve just configured WebDAV on Kypass for iPhone and it’s working very well. I’m accessing my webdav storage via VPN when I’m on the road but I’m able to open my kdbx file even if there’s no VPN connection established (should connecting to a private IP address if VPN is established) and I’m not at home on my wifi.
Changes at the keepass file in that case (assuming I’m working on a cached file in that moment) will be overwritten next time the webdav is available (wifi or vpn).
So if anyone is using webdav he should only change the file if the webdav connection is available. Could you confirm this?
The new Dark Menu bar option in Yosemite makes the left hand menu of KyPass Companion on OSX completely unreadable due to the now-extreme low contrast.
You’ll probably want to have an option to change the background color…or change it completely by default.
Use your app all the time. Great job but app needs a face lift, especially with Yosemite. Video issues – cannot see title text and if I could the font the app uses is way to small for my old eyes. Give us a few font choices – color & size.
Can you please add support for automatically caching keepass files from WebDAV servers ?
The reason why I’m asking this is because I plan to set up a webdav server on my computer that serves my pw database, and each time my phone can reach the server (basically each time I get home) I’d like it to cache the latest version of the database (and upload changes if there were any), however I also need to be able to access the latest cached version if the server isn’t reachable.
J just installed the new Yosemite system. Now everything works but J can’t see my entries. Is it possible to change the colors of background and fonts.
I hope this is a simple feature request for KyPass 3.x.
Are you able to display the entry expiration date if it has one? The expiration field is very useful if someone stores credit card information inside of the Keepass.database.
Thanks for Kypass, I recently replaced Lastpass with Kypass/Keepass and Dropbox on all devices and it really works well.
It would be nice, if Kypass would preselect the last used Keyfile on iPad and on OS X.
Will this version fix the bug in Yosemite where all the folder names in Kypass 1.5 are black text on dark gray background making them unreadable?
– For the keyfile, it’s not a good idea as it decrease security.
– Search box was improved in the next release.
– And the grey background was fixed in the next release of Kypass companion sent to apple a few days ago.
Please explain how this option would decrease security? IMHO preselecting the last used keyfile should be available as an option for those of us who want to use it that way. ‘Security by obscurity’ is not really necessary here, as the keyfile works like a second factor of authentication: “something that I have”, which is not stored on Dropbox. – On the ipad its on local storage anyways and on the Mac I use it the same way. This is secure enough for me.
Glad the obvious bugs are fixed already. When will the update arrive in the App store?
I also think that a it would be nice, if Kypass would preselect the last used Keyfile on iOS X.
I am a former windows user and really miss this.
I would like to be able to easily copy or move folders from one file to another.
I just bought KyPass – seems to work good but there is a layout bug in Yosemite (quite sure you know it already): Black font on dark grey background in folder list. Is this bug known and will it be fixed in the upcoming release?
update was sent to apple beginning of the week.
did i miss the update on the mac store. Up to now i have the problem with the dark font ?
unfortunately the update is not available at the apple store, yet.
the 1.6 version of Kypass on Yosemite crashes everytime I use the search box. what info do you need to analyse?
Any new about 1.6 release?
1. link an image viewer/include an image viewer.
when you have an jpg attached to an password entry you need to save the image before you can open it. i possibility to open it with an image viewer would be extra nice :). Use case would be an attached photo of an tan list for example.
i think i haven’t to explain that.
PLEASE add the ability to change the background color of the left column. PLEASE. It is absolutely unreadable at this point. We paid a premium for your app, and I think everyone is ok with that, but right now, it’s hardly usable. Thanks!
I just bought kypass and like it.
I am using a v2 database and when deleting entries and groups they go into the recycle bin.
But I cannot delete them permanently.
Can you add an “empty recycle bin” feature, thanks.
When starting Kypass, you will see a list of files. I am using WebDAV, and when I touch the blue circled “i” next to a database file, I can see some file info. Under remote I can se the full WebDAV url, including user-id and password. I think this info should be protected, either by only showing *** for the password, or by some other means. Perhaps something to include in the next version?
Ever since KyPass 3, the top and bottom text and background colors are unbearably bad. The Up, back, and search button are simply not visible on an iPad2. On my IPhone 5, its just barley visible. Please change this as soon as possible.
I use Kypass quite extensivel. My mac is completely encrypted, but for security reasons (other keepass platforms) I use a keyfile.
I’d like to use kypass companion using the credentials stored in my apple keychain, but that doesn’t work automatically.
I wonder what the purpose of the checkbox is on the login screen?
I am still using 2.4.2 so this may already be fixed in 3 but could we have a configuration item for the directory where the database is in Google Drive. At the moment I have to put it in the root or Google Drive which is a pain. Having it would like Dropbox would be perfect.
Having a default of /Crypted like Dropbox would also be good.
Sorry but another request, is there any plan to add OneDrive synchronisation?
Does KyPass work with ios8?
I have the kypass companion and the kypass 3 app.
You say that icloud drive integration is existing, but what do I need to do to make kypass 3 see my database in the icloud drive?
does it have to be a special folder?
I am planning to buy kypass 3 on my iphone and am really impressed by your feature rich app.
Do you plan to incorporate touch id in the future?
Any chance for touchID support for unlocking the database?
Also,Does KyPasd support key Files?
Could you please tell me how can I add a few custom icons into my keepass DB?
Is it possible at the moment?
I have often used this option in original keepass on Windows and it will be great if this option will be available on Mac.
Hi. Is there a German version of KyPass Companion for Mac planned?
When will kypass 3.4 be available? I’m looking forward to the touchid option.
I have a .kdbx file with an entry that includes attached files.
With the current version (1.6) I’m not able to extract (save) these files.
When I click (or double click) on these files in the “Advanced” or “Properties” tabs, the Save window appears, but nothing happens after clicking the “Save” button.
Is there any other way to access the contents of these files?
And how about hiding the last open entry from task switcher?
I use kypass with dropbox from iphone, ipad mini (and some pc); i’m very happy and i substituted my splashid after 5 years.
Please, can you unify pin’s interface in ipad e iphone? On iphone the interface similar numeric keyboard is perfet, but on ipad the classic alphanumeric keyboard is annoying?
I have kypass on macosx and would by the app for iphone if it just would support sync via webdav to my own server, i don’t like my sensitive data on Google or dropbox, and I need _sync_ because of multiple machines having Access at the same time.
Using KyPass KyPass 3 V3.3 on iPad with iOS 7.1.2.
When adding entries with “+” on the iPad I can only find a “abbrechen” (cancel) – Button in the Header, but no “fertig” (ready) – Button. Different to the iPhone where I can at least guess this Button on the top right.
I would like to do a printout of my KyPass Companion V 1.7 data base. How can I do it and print the passwords?
But I could implement this in a future version.
Please make an iOS 8 Extension, where you can select the password and it automaticly fills in your password so that you do not have to open the keypass-App copy the password and go back to safari.
And Fingerprint-Support would be great!
Any News on when the next Update for iOS will come?
Hoping to support onedrive and Touch ID.
Kypass 3 updated on iPhone 4 running iOS 7.1.2 (latest version supported by this iPhone) on 8 March. I cannot now open Kypass. Fortunately my passwords are not lost as I can access using KeePass on my PC.
I purchased kyPass Companion version 1.7 (3187) on the app store. I am trying to open an existing kypass database .kdbx, but I tried and it always says the password is invalid. I retried several times and the password should be correct, but I don’t know if the problem lies somewhere else.
Do you use key file or special encryption ?
A key file. I am trying to use an existing keydatabase that is already in use by our group.
I also have the issue where Bypass appears to forget the password I enter. I am not using a keyfile since I cannot find any information on how to use one.
The password is 8 14 characters long and stored in a text file so I copy paste it in.
The other problem I have is that I am trying import a CSV file I created in Excel with a list of 70 servers and usernames and passwords.
I named the columns the same as what appears in Bypass. However, when I click import, select the file and click ok nothing happens.
Again there is no information regarding this process.
BY all means correct me if I’m wrong.
Did you select in in the dropdown list ?
I know the password works, as it is working on both windows7 laptop + windows7 desktop keepass standalone program.
Do you use special encryption ? Only standard encryption is supported.
I really like KyPass Companion – but would love it if I had the ability to upload a custom icon for my entries. Not everything has a URL with an associated favicon. I would really love to be able to add my own custom icon to the entries – like I used to be able to do i Keepass on my PC.
Is there also solution that Kypass 3 can be used by windows PC? i can not fins any.
the reason i want to re-order the groups on a easy way.
Yes. Synchronize your keepass database (file.kdb) with Dropbox and open it with KeePass on your PC.
It would be nice to set a default database file. So, when you open KyPass it would auto load that database. Makes it easier for people that only use one database.
I use KyPass Companion (OS X – El Capitan) but I was not able to synchonise my kdbx file from Dropbox with KyPass Companion. Can you please give me an Explanation what I have to do? Thank you very much!
Do you have Dropbox installed on your mac ? If yes, just put your database in the synchronized folder used by KyPass on your iPhone.

Excess fertilizers and pesticides applied to lawns and gardens wash off and pollute streams and rivers. In addition, yard clippings and leaves can wash into storm drains and contribute nutrients and organic matter to streams and rivers.
Recycle or properly dispose of household products that contain chemicals, such as insecticides, pesticides, paint, solvents, and used motor oil and other auto fluids. Don’t pour them onto the ground or into storm drains.
Don’t over water your lawn. Consider using a soaker hose instead of a sprinkler. Use pesticides and fertilizers sparingly. When use is necessary, use these chemicals in the recommended amounts. Use organic mulch or safer pest control methods whenever possible. Compost or mulch your yard wastes. Don’t leave it in the street or sweep it into storm drains or streams. Cover piles of dirt or mulch being used in landscaping projects.
Are you in the habit of applying fertilizer to your lawn every spring? Did you know that when fertilizer isapplied improperly it may pollute our Michigan waters and possibly even kill our vegetation along with fish and animals? Though we all want to have green and luscious lawns this spring and summer, we also need to be aware of the potential hazards our lawn care practices may cause. When too much fertilizer is applied it washes off easily and becomes very harmful to the environment. This is especially true when a rain storm comes. Rain can wash fertilizer straight into the storm drain. Moreover, much of what is on the soil will eventually percolate into our groundwater systems as water gets absorbed into the earth. Therefore, it is important to avoid using fertilizer during the rain season or before a rain storm forecast.
If a fertilizer applicator warns of keeping children and pets off the lawn for 24 hours, it would be wise to discontinue its use all together. Using a slow release fertilizer is effective as it spreads over time and is less likely to drain away.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KMTV) — The U.S. Metro Fugitive Task Force say a suspect wanted for his connection to a 2016 murder in Mississippi was taken into custody in Lincoln after he was observed "acting suspiciously near the federal courthouse." Law enforcement says the arrest was a good example of teamwork among agencies.
They say 25-year-old Stephon Clay was arrested without incident near the 4600 block of Orchard Street and is currently awaiting extradition, back to Mississippi.
The Lincoln and Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force and Lincoln's PD unit also assisted in the arrest.

The 2019 Ford Performance NASCAR Gander Outdoor Truck!
Please contact us if you would like your Company on this Truck!
Get to know Jesse and his ultimate racing goal in NASCAR!
Read the Latest News on our News Page!
For Jesse Little, a 22-year old, who graduated from Bandys High School and is now attending college at UNCC, his future path is crystal clear: He wants to be a professional race car driver. And with wins in NASCAR’s K&N Pro Series East at New Hampshire and Iowa, Little is well on his way to making that dream a reality.
“I’ve pretty much been around racetracks as long as I can remember,” said Little, “Some of my earliest memories are of my birthday parties at racetracks, when my dad was racing in the Cup series.” For Jesse, being around racing from a young age afforded him the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of racing and race cars, and he’s translated that experience to success on the track.
"His drive and will are second to none"
Harold Holly has spent nearly three decades in the racing industry, recently as the the Competition Director at GMS Racing. He has known Jesse Little since he was a child, and has played a key role in Little’s development as a racer. According to Holly, Jesse Little’s rare ability to combine an unyielding desire to win, an analytical approach to racing decisions, and an unmatched work ethic is what separates him from the competition. “He has so much drive, he’s so athletic, his comprehension of the engineering aspects of the car – it amazes me,” said Holly.
If we are to judge an up-and-coming driver against his more famous father, then Jesse Little is leading. By a full straightaway.
Little's father, of course, carved out a nice career for himself as a driver. Chad Little made more than 200 career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts and perhaps is best-known for driving a John Deere-sponsored car owned by Jack Roush, but the native of Spokane, Wash., made his way to the Cup Series on his driving merit. Now his son, Jesse, is similarly using the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East as the launching point for his own driving career. “Jesse's got a great feel for the race cars,” Chad Little said. “He's got a really methodical approach to the feel, and I think that's the key for young drivers. A lot of drivers can feel tightness and looseness, but he's got a feel for where in which corner it's happening in and how to change it. I think that's pretty unique. I was never able to do that." Chad Little's influence goes beyond the drivers seat. "It's a unique perspective that goes far behind just being an involved father in the garage area." “I would think my perspective is quite a bit different. I'm not an in-your-face dad, don't get in Jesse's face when things go wrong and I really try to stay positive,” Chad Little said. “He's definitely got the skill set to carry on in his career if the cards can fall in the right place. It's a long road, and you're going to crash, you're going to be involved in controversy. I've just tried to teach him to not let it bother him – and to try not to be on the receiving end of it too many times. It can be the most difficult of all the lessons to learn."
Maturity brings Success -" I don't see myself doing anything other than racing"

Short version: In 1991, the Vietnamese government invited a joint parliamentary party (7 members of Australian Parliament plus wives) to take a tour of Vietnam by private train. This was an offer of friendship to Australia - being one of the first world governments to recognise the new Socialist Republic of Vietnam (1976).
One of the ladies on that tour (Dorothy Button) was impressed enough to start her own travel company (Vietnam Ventures) and in 1992 pioneered the first of many Rail Tours to follow. Frank O’Brien (FrankO) was an army officer on that very first tour - he spoke Vietnamese, and won the job of escorting Dorothy’s future tours.
Dorothy left the tour business in the late nineties - subsequent demand, and all the right contacts in Vietnam, led Frank to follow-on, and by 2003 the tours had grown from 14 to 18 days and upgraded to 4 star hotels.
FRANKO’S Rail Tours are based on more than 20 years of touring Vietnam by private train.
For Club/Association committees - Frank and/or Natalie are happy to respond to any requests to provide a presentation or information session to your club members. Our formal presentation is around 40-45 minutes (including screening of DVD) then happy to respond to questions from attendees.
FRANKO’S Rail Tours include the opportunity to visit LONG TAN and NUI DAT for ANZAC Day and Battle of Long Tan Day ceremonies.
"your people on-the-ground are first class Frank ...the very best!" - Mac. Perth, WA.
"We’ve taken many terrific tours around the world, but looking back, still agree that your Rail Tour of Vietnam in 2005 was the best of them all." - Neville E. Perth, WA.
"We felt like VIPs for 18 days. Please thank all your wonderful Vietnamese staff" - Boz & Barbara. Victoria.
"Absolutely fantastic tour FrankO, much more than what we expected! Faultless organisation and the most wonderful staff ...our thanks to everyone involved" - Pat & Mary. Queensland.
"Thoroughly enjoyed the tour Frank ...thank you. As promised, our guide (Zen) was fantastic ...The best! I'll certainly be telling my mates about FRANKO'S" - Ken Hall. Melboune. "We had a great time Franko. Thank you. Originally we were disappointed there was no private train tour in June, but you talked us into taking your ticketed rail tour ...we are so glad you did! We've told our friends to put you on their Bucket List! Now we are saving to do the private train trip with you in 2014. Can't wait!" - Glen & Jenny B. Sydney.
"...nothing will ever compare with that most wonderful of wonderful holidays that you gave us in Vietnam. We still talk about it and it has certainly set a benchmark for any future o/s trips that we do." - Roger & Judy P. Sydney.
"We have travelled on many tours around the world, but this tour with FRANKO'S has been the best experience of them all!" - Dr P. J. Melbourne.

On 15 June 2015 the Ceremonial Seating of the International Tribunal for Natural Justice took place at Westminster Central Hall, London, England.
This historic occasion was announced and celebrated on the evening of 14 June 2015 at Notting Hill, London.
Goodwill messages from international supporters and ITNJ Officers were delivered via pre-recorded video, including: Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, Hon. Paul T. Hellyer, Noam Chomsky, Dr. Laurence Brahm, Dr. Steven Greer, Michael Tellinger, and ITNJ Law Commissioner Captain Ray Lewis.
Video messages were also delivered from representatives of an array of international chapters of the Committee to Support the ITNJ, including South Africa, East Africa, India, Scandinavia, and Russia, and representatives of some chapters attended the event. International observers were also in attendance, including ambassadors, parliamentarians and religious leaders. In all, over 300 people witnessed the events on the eve of the Ceremonial Seating of the ITNJ and ratified the ITNJ Treaty.
The Ceremonial Seating of the ITNJ and the formal ratification, signing and sealing of the Treaty and Constitution of the International Tribunal for Natural Justice took place on 15 June at Westminster Central Hall in London, 800 years to the day after the Magna Carta was sealed into law. Thirty people were present in situ for that event, members of the International ITNJ team were present via video-conference, and over one thousand observers witnessed the event via live-stream broadcast.
A new jurisdiction in law has now been created for the People, by the People whose signatures ratifying the ITNJ Treaty mandated the creation of the International Tribunal for Natural Justice.
I am in an incredible Joy to see that finally something I have always wished in my Heart for has taken place!
Congratulation to Sacha and everyone in the ITJN who are Seatting or Standing in the name of Law of Nature!
This is an amazing work achieved and the greatest news of all time, at last People are Human again!
To be part of such wonderful historical mark is a privilege and an honour, thank you from the Heart!
I speak in the name of all People of every nationality, faith, belief, race and background because I know everyone in their Hearts feels this, that at last there is Justice in the Law of this World!
I have dropped out of Law school because I didn’t feel in my Heart that there was Justice in the Law nor did I feel that all Judges, Courts and Lawyers have dealt with People’s cases in just and in righteousness, which is why this ITJN was desperately needed. Well Done Sacha! and everyone who took part in this to make it happen!
I am proud tobe a British Citizen and to live in London and I am proud to be part of ITJN in every way I can and by every means that I have. I will support in any way with my clean Heart and pure intention, with my Spiritual Beingness and prayers, with my generosity and kindness, with my new TV Channel Truth TV soon to be launched, with everything and with my whole Might I wish to contribute towards the World!
I am most honoured to know that People like you Exist, God always Was, God always IS and God always Will Be! We are all the proof of That! Honour, Respect, Devotion and Glory to the existing Beings whom are in support of ITJN and who live their Life with Dignity and Pride, for we are All children of God!
Parish Church Committee St Michael’s and All Angels London Fields.

Please note, all percentages are calculated by the Daily Sales Rate (DSR), which takes into account the number of days in the month that dealerships could sell cars. August 2014 had 27 selling days, August 2013 had 28 selling days.
For the second month in a row, Lexus is the best selling luxury brand in the USA, topping second place BMW by an amazing 5,595 units.
Going through the full lineup, the only weaknesses are the 8-year-old LS with a minor drop of 12.7%, and the seven-year-old LX with a decrease of 14.3%. With the exception of these two models, everything else is moving at full-force — even the historically low-volume GS & CT broke 2,000 sales each.
With two strong months and building momentum with the upcoming NX & RC models, could Lexus actually take back the top spot in the yearly sales totals?
Currently, BMW leads with 211,005 sales over the first eight months of the year, with Mercedes close behind at 205,894.
With 198,831 sales in 2014, Lexus would have to make up at least 12,174 units on BMW — a tough challenge under any circumstances. Still, replicate August’s success in September & October, and that year-end race is going to be pretty interesting to watch.
Lexus Canada dipped slightly with a 2.3% decrease in sales compared to 2013. The RX sold 633 units over August, and the ES continues to lead sedan sales with 227 units sold.
JohnDoe: The production of the new RX will start in october 2015, and the new LS will arrive almost the same time.
lexi: I thought the LFA was sold out! and they're still selling them?

Twenty eighteen may be well underway, but, even though the tree is down, the decorations are away and my tax is done (hurrah), the start of my New Year is on hold until 1st February to allow me to complete more of my ‘2017 Finishing Off List’.
There is something particularly satisfying about completing projects, and for me, there is a balance between having things on the go that I am enjoying making, which add variety to my week and which can showcase the business and then, on the other hand, having way too much on my plate of which very little will ever get finished. Apart from in the Summer, when the push to get the girls’ projects finished for the Festival of Quilts consumed my every breath, I’ve not done too bad – thanks in the main to help along the way from Deborah and my lists to keep me focused.
I have ju st loaded the GillyMac gallery (see tab above) with the final images from 2017 with many of the gorgeous items made here this year. They are just a small sample of the creativity of the GillyMac Pupils. I know that there is never a time when I will have everything completed and that thought can be overwhelming, but I started sewing to enjoy the journey, not just to complete the task… and when it all gets too much and Annie’s quilt is still not finished, or the PJs for the girls I wanted to make for Christmas are left unmade, or the quilting for the Linus project is not even started…… I need to remember to enjoy every moment of my creative time – as it is precious and important for being what it is… special time.
We’ve been away for two weeks, staying on Ullswater. It is the only place in the UK, other than the Hebrides, that I’ve been where the daylight changes the colour of the surrounding landscape so dramatically, often hour by hour and certainly every evening. I love doing anything by this light because almost every time you look out the window the palette of colours has changed again.
We don’t particularly come here hoping to get good weather. Good weather is a bonus, but slowing down our pace of life and changing the way we operate for two weeks is all we truly need. My business allows me to be a ‘base camp’ for Katie and Brian who like to plan a walk, get dropped off in one location and get collected somewhere else. Katie is becoming quite an accomplished walker. She knows how to plan, what to take and how to both fuel and pace herself. I think this year is the first that she is setting the pace rather than Brian, but she sees it as a team game and that is all part of it.
This afternoon I have come down to Glenridding to plan my class schedule whilst they take out a rowing boat. It is cooler today, but they are still keen to get out on the water all the same. Later, I will be back at base camp, looking out over cattle and fields and further onto Ullswater. I am able to sew with a magnificent view, preparing Winter class samples and writing spartan notes that will eventually become class methods. Perfect !
Gill’s new class list is now on the website and pictures of her sewing whilst away in Ullswater this year are on the website gallery.

Allie Avital brings to life a character with extraordinary powers in her video for Roseaux, the French music project including Aloe Blacc among its members.
It's a young woman in search of love, who discovers that her touch delivers instant death - a sensational power nonetheless treated with huge sensitivity by Avital. This is a beautifully cinematic piece, beautifully shot by Albert Salas, where the European location adds a strong sense of gothic tragedy to the story of the girl, played by Sahné Rasonaivo.
"I’ve had this character in my mind for a long time: a woman who can’t help but harm/kill everyone she comes in contact with. She’s less of a femme fatale and more of a Lenny from Of Mice and Men, except instead of killing bunnies it’s the men she comes in contact with.
"On one level it’s a metaphor for people who desperately want a partner but are too self-protective and so hurt them instead. And then on another level I was thinking about intimacy and nature: whether physical contact with others is a necessity of being human."
In Allie Avital's third video for Moses Sumney, the R&B artist wanders a desolate landscape and seashore, where he discovers a mythical creature between the rocks - a mermaid.
After her viral success with protest song Kelmti Horra that soundtracked the Tunisian revolution, Emel Mathlouthi returns with a powerful clip courtesy of Allie Avital.

Who – The best answer would be everyone.. if possible, you never want to leave anyone out, especially with ‘cooler talk’. Try to keep track of who gives you a gift, and at the very least just a list of all employees and vendors so if you do send one to everyone you don’t forget that one person! Even people like your phone, internet, consultants, janitorial, etc – think of everyone!
What – This is 2 fold. First, make this gift personal whenever possible. People always want to feel like they are special and not just another one in line, and rightfully so. We should appreciate every single person that puts time, effort, and their life into the business. Luckily, our Holiday Gifts come with a custom Christmas Card with your personal message on it!
Secondly, when choosing a gift, make sure it is something everyone could use, but isn’t too general. Make sure it is a well-known item with either a long tradition or just been around a while. Another item to tie into that piece would be making sure it is general enough to be sensitive to religious or personal beliefs. Also be careful with food – there are a lot of allergies, diseases, and healthy diets people have these days that if you chose the wrong thing could be hazardous!
When – This is kind of a no-brainer, when is the best time to give gifts?! During the holiday season of course! Double win if they have a birthday in those months too! In a corporate environment the holiday season usually falls at the end of the year when you can tell the company did a great job and now it’s time to show the employees, clients, vendors etc that they did as well and reward them and their family with a token of your appreciation.
How – Feel prepared? Good, head on over to (Holiday Wreath Shop) or call or email to order your holiday gifts today. It is quick, easy, and we’ll handle the rest from here.

It’s easy to give! Think Pink uses a platform that not only provides you with an easy process to donate, but a system that will support the events that you would like to arrange in your own community supporting the work of The Foundation.
There are many ways to donate; simply select a donation amount, or you can set up a donation page and alert your friends and networks to a personal challenge you have set where you have elected donations to go to your foundation of choice – Think Pink!
Another idea might be to set up an event in your own community event – it might be a dinner party, wearing pink on Friday’s at your work place where all can donate a folded note, a BBQ or a raffle that you arrange – and all proceeds can be donated via one central fundraising page you set up linked to Think Pink.

When architect Seth Boor was asked to sum up the parklet he stated, "The inspiration behind this parklet is a uniquely Fourbarrel take on the urban balcony - someplace to lean up against the rail with your coffee and watch the passersby." The success of this parklet design lies in its uniquely Fourbarrel approach. this place takes its character from the presence of creative collaboration, materials, straightforward pragmatism, and artisanship.

The petroleum industry can be divided into three parts. They can be upstream, midstream and downstream.
The upstream portion is also called the exploration and production sector. This includes searching for crude oil and natural gas underground or underwater through drilling. The drilling brings the crude oil and natural gas up to the surface for harvesting. Unconventional gas can sometimes be included in the upstream sector as well as liquefied natural gas. The upstream and oil and gas midstream sectors work together but rarely overlap. Most upstream oil and gas companies are called ‘integral’ because use all three sectors of upstream, midstream and downstream, combining them to work together.

To my happy surprise, I see an e-flyer in my local library (in Newton, Mass.) that the two are doing a performance on Monday evening, August 11, 2014, as part of their apparently annual reunion tour (Zamcheck is a former native Newtonite, it turns out).
I am looking forward to being among the audience, with the cover of their first album, FANTASY RAG (1975) in hand for long-overdue autographs.
Norman plays strong barrel-house piano, and writes amazing songs. Suzy has a strong, bluesy voice, with burlesque fashion sense that mixes feather boas and a coffeepot for a purse.
They apparently went their separate ways in the late 80’s. Happily, over the past few years, they’ve been doing east and west coats reunion gigs.
I’ve missed seeing them. I’m looking forward to seeing them again like crazy.
If you can’t be there, catch some videos, and then go hunt down their recordings.

Colorado Politics, News and Inside Information: A New Candidate for CD-7?
A New Candidate for CD-7?
UPDATE: Herb Rubenstein is expected to announce his candidacy for CD-7 on June 15.
We've been hearing rumors for weeks that Herb Rubenstein was considering running for congress in CD-7 as a Democrat, and those whispers are growing louder now -- to the point where an announcement may be made within the next two weeks.
We don't know a lot about Rubenstein, other than that he only recently moved to Colorado. Rubenstein runs a leadership development think tank called GSI, based in Maryland, that recently opened an office in Denver.
If he can raise a lot of money out of the blocks then he could at least be a player in the race, but in a Democratic primary with two announced candidates already, the "carpet bagger" issue will be a tough hurdle to overcome.
Who? I can tell you one thing. I would never vote for somebody who moved here from another state to run for congress.
Herb will likely petition on which only takes 1k signitures and skip all the party foolishness. He could position himself as the outsider ala Hickenlooper. Still too early and we don't know much about him but it would be shortsighted for any campaign too write him off this early.
This guy will only make it easier for Perlmutter because he is the favorite son in the district running against two outsiders -- and the "anyone but perlmutter" crowd -- which may number about 10 people (most of whom surface on this blog) will now have two candidates to choose from. This new guy will have more money than Peggy, so my guess is that this dries her up even more than she has already dried up. At least Rubinstein will not have to explain why he endorsed Bill Owens because he apparently didn't even vote in that election. What a hoot!
I'm with Diane Carman - Joan for Governor!
If Rubinstein gets in that will mean TWO carpetabggers in the race -- don't forget that Peggy Lamm has never voted in the 7th district and only moved there a month or so ago in order to run for Conngress.
The funny thing is that even though Lamm has been in Colorado longer, Rubenstein has probably lived in the district longer. Lamm is still the bigger carpetbagger if you use residency as the criteria, because she just moved in to the district a month or two ago.
Of course Rubenstein will petition on, but the carpetbagger thing will still drag him down with overall primary voters. He can't be an outsider "a la Hickenlooper" if he isn't even local. Hickenlooper was well known in Denver for his business dealings and had been there for years. Rubenstein is just showing up out of the blue. There's a big difference, and he'll get hammered for it by Perlmutter. People don't like the idea of someone moving in from out of state to run for congress.
Ted --I agree with you. Plus, comparing Rubenstein to Hickenlooper is ludicrous because Hick was active in Democratic politics and Denver's civic life long before he ran for Mayor. Rubenstein has no such pedigree and appears to be just an egomaniac.
Who the hell is this guy? Jesus, we've beaten one of the carpetbaggers (the one from 6) and now we have to deal with an out-of-state guy? At least Conti and Lamm lived in Colorado before taking on this race.
And, you gotta be suspect of someone who calls himself a "strategic visionary" and "futures planner" in his bio. Get a real job. Sounds like a lot of mumbo-jumbo blather to me - perhaps a way to fleece corporations of their cash all in the name of the great calling of "consulting."
I've said it before about other candidates who seem to think their destiny is serving in Congress: if you've never been involved in local politics or service, maybe set your sights a tad lower. Get involved in your community (or, MOVE to the community first), serve your NEW communtiy in various ways, maybe run for school board, or a city council, or even a county seat. One, you'll be in a better position to reach your dream of being in Congress, and, two, you might actually do some good for your community instead of just furthering your egotistical goals.
Get real. I don't think this guy ever got a vote. He must be halucinating to think he can come from liberal Maryland or D.C. and run in Colorado. Sounds like he has a lot of time and money to throw away.
Do you actually think people in the 7th District know where their district stops and any other one begins? The denver-metro districts, inlcuding 7, 6, and 1, and 2, are so mish-mashed across county lines that no one knows where they stop and start - even some politicians don't know! "Normal" people, like those who don't read this blog, don't even keep track of county lines - maybe they pay attention to school districts, but that's it, folks. So whether Peggy lived a few miles outside of the district or not is a totally moot point.

As a sports enthusiast, I have experienced how athletic competition helps build character. Playing soccer for 13 years taught me about camaraderie, discipline, dedication, and confidence, which prepared me for life off of the field and shaped who I am today.
Although I still enjoy numerous sports, running has become my "thing": It is extremely challenging both physically and mentally, and provides me an indescribable sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when I complete training runs. Over the past year I have trained for and completed 2 Half Marathons and feel that my next goal is to tackle a full marathon (26.2 miles)! While training for the 2011 LA Marathon I will also be fund-raising to support an organization that helps build character in individuals through athletic competition - Special Olympics.
I support Special Olympics because it provides year-round sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them the opportunity to develop the virtues I experienced while playing soccer: developing physical fitness, demonstrating courage, experiencing joy and achievement and most importantly, participating in a sharing of gifts, community, skills, and friendship with their friends, families, and other Special Olympics athletes.

What can I do to stop my hands and body from shaking. Would Cogentin help? I am currently taking 450 mg. of lithium carb ER Tab. I also can't sleep at night. I'm only getting about 3 hours of sleep a night. What should I do. I can't see my doctor until June 19. He is totally booked. I also am very sweaty all the time. I need some help with this problem I am having. I cut my legs really bad shaving the other day from my hands shaking. Please help me.
I am sorry you are having a terrible time.
I also took lithium years ago, I suggest you have someone take you to the ER now.
I started lithium 1200 mgs in 2007. My hands shook so bad that i couldn't hold a cup of coffee properly or sign my name etc... It took months for it to get better! We are supposed to be careful with salt intake but my psychiatrist at the time told me to eat a little salt. It could help! I have been lowered to 600 mgs since and its much better than before! It got better with time! Its been 10 years now and i still shake a little now and again. My doctor mentioned that I could take a medication for Parkinson that helps with the shaking if i wanted but i get side effects from every med so declined. About sleep talk to your local pharmacist about that and the shakes. He can contact your doctor before your appointment! Lithium worked great for my major depression and changed my life! Hoping you feel better soon!
I am tapering off lithium under the guidance of my psychiatrist. I'm currently at 450 mg/day and?
Is stuttering a side affect taking lithium and shakes in between doses and irrability?
Is the generic zoloft making me shake?
My son was told he had staph at the emergency room this past week, he has had these spots/ sores?

The term of ancient Asuka Period began in 592 and ended in 710. “Asuka” is the southern area of Nara Prefecture.
In this period, Buddhism was the most essencial things of the culture. With Buddha statue, the religion had already came to Japan in the middle of 6th. And the two powerful family, Soga clan（蘇我氏） and Mononobe clan（物部氏） fought with each other whether accepting it or not.
Shotoku Taishi（聖徳太子） and Soga clan supported Buddhism and Mononobe clan was opposed to. In 587, when Shotoku Taishi was therteen years old, he and Soga clan beat Mononobe clan. It directed Japan as the Buddhist country at Asuka region .
From the view point of the feature, the culture of Asuka Period is divided into Asuka Culture(飛鳥文化) and Hakuho Culture（白鳳文化）. And both of them really showed the characteristic of buddha art.
Asuka Culture was very local culture of the region. Because the culture was deeply affected by the people who came from Korean Peninsula and settled down in the capital. They introduced not only the culture of Korean Peninsula, but also of China in the Period of North and South Dynasties, India, West Asia, and Greece.
The great statue of Buddha at Asuka-dera is older than any other Buddha statues in Japan.
It was said that Shotoku Taishi hope the plan and Horyuji Temple（法隆寺） was founded in 607. Saiin garan of Horyuji is the oldest wooden structure be in existence in the world. Shitennoji Temple is also seen as the plan of Shotoku Taishi.
When you walk through the Kairo(corridor) of Horyuji Temple, you can see the influence from the ancient Greece. The pillars of Horyuji Temple shape swollen at the middle. It is thought of as “entasis” which is seen in Parthenon.
You can feel the atmosphere of the ancient Greece at the Buddha statues of Asuka Period. They show very faint smiles at the corner of their mouths including Shaka Nyorai at Asuka-dera, Kudara Kannonzo at Horyuji, and Miroku Bosatsu at Chuguji and Koryuji.
It is called “archaic smile” and one of the features of the ancient Greece sculptures.(learning about Buddha statue in Japan) And the Agency for Cultural Affairs esignated Kudara Kannonzo as a first national treasure in Japan.
Most of the paintings and craft arts of the Asuka Culture also are based on Buddhism. “Tamamushi-no zushi”（玉虫厨子）, The Jewel Beetle small Shrine, one of is the masterpiece of the culture. The main Buddha statue in the Tamamushi-no zushi and its gorgeousness was lost through the years.
But the lacquered door and the pictures were still well remained. The pictures have depicted the world of Buddhism. “Shasinsiko-zu”（捨身飼虎図） was the scene that Buddha’s previous life throws himself from the cliff and become the feed for the hunger family of tigers.
The terms of Hakuho Culture was from Taika Reform in 645, to the relocation of the capital to Heijokyo in 710(start of Nara Period). At that time, Japan just followed the political system of , as well as the culture of, Tang dynasty of China. The air of the Hakuho Culture is “generosity”.
The government had aggressively founded many temples in the term. But the three-storied pagoda of Yakusjiji Temple is the only remaining structure in Hakuho Period.
With the three eaves, it may be seen as the six-storied pagoda. An American scholar of Eastern art, Ernest Francisco Fenollosa praised the beauty as “frozen music”.
The Buddha statues of the Hakuho Culture are plumper and natural, without archaic smiles. Yakushi Nyorai（薬師如来), Nikko Bosatsu（日光菩薩） and Gakko Bosatsu(月光菩薩） at Yakushiji Temple show the dynamic shapes.
Also, Yume-chigai-Kannon-zo（夢違観音像） at Horyuji Temple and Buddha’s head at Kofukuji Temple are famous.
The peak period of constructing the “Kofun”（古墳）, tumuluses, for the people in power was already passed. The Takamatsuzuka Kofun（高松塚古墳） was built in the end of its history.
In 1972, Kashihara Archaeological Research Institute investigated the inside. What they looked in the burial chamber were the colored wall paintings. That depicted the people and the four orientation god(Suzaku, Genbu, Seiryu, and Byakko).
Speaking of a wall painting, the Kondo(golden hall) of Horyuji hold popular one. It is the picture of the Buddhism in detail. But the fire took place at the Kondo in 1949, and the part of the painting was lost.
In Hakuho Culture, the Emperors and the nobles composed Chinese poetry（漢詩） and Waka（和歌）.
Otomo-no Oji（大友皇子） and Otsu-no Miko（大津皇子) are famous for Chinese poetry. On the other hand, Emperor Tenji（天智天皇）, Emperor Tenmu（天武天皇), Nukata-no Ookimi（額田王), and Kakinomoto-no Hitomaro（柿本人麻呂) are known as one of the predominant poets.
Webster’s bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on “Asuka,” including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Asuka in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Asuka when it is used in proper noun form. Webster’s timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This “data dump” results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Asuka, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under “fair use” conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain.
