The year ahead has potential to deliver an upside for providers of services to shipping. After all, so significant a change as the IMO emissions rules will require strong advice, and shipmanagers and other service providers are aiming to provide it.
But the sulphur cap also presents difficulties. The new rules present uncertainty over enforcement and further regulation, higher costs and the need to find finance, as executives explain in TradeWinds annual survey of industry experts on their outlook of the year ahead.
We are managing a number of vessels installed with scrubbers and we do see some challenges when it comes to day-to-day operations. From a scrubber point of view, training and competence of crew may well be a challenge that the industry will face.
For owners choosing compliance fuel, having a good fuel management plan and changes in maintenance and procurement plans can be a challenge. As a whole, I really don’t see any large ‘black holes’ as these are manageable challenges with proper planning and experience.
Preparing for the upcoming rules will be a challenge — both in regards to vessels with scrubbers and those using compliant fuel. One challenge that we have been discussing is if there will be enough critical spare parts available from the main engine suppliers. We anticipate a higher than normal number of main engine breakdowns due to various blends of fuel and, as such, this might become a bottleneck. Formulating a plan to manage these risks is a challenge due to the uncertainty in the entire supply chain now.
We are very optimistic when looking into next year. There are definitely a lot more requests and tenders for management out there, which is reflecting the positive sentiment in a number of segments.
The IMO 2020 deadline creates an opportunity for those in the ship-support sector to provide clear and independent advice for owners looking for guidance and feedback on the choices available.
The increased pressures in the environmental, regulatory and efficiency fields means that specialist advice from outside the owner’s organisation is likely to be better informed and focused on the specific issues. This leaves the owner’s organisation better equipped to make the necessary commercial decisions.
One of the biggest challenges will lie in the ability to support those owners who choose to install scrubbers and getting them installed in time. Unfortunately, with the increased pressures on where scrubbers can be used, the opaqueness of the costs of running scrubbers and the availability of alternative fuels, both owners and technical support consultants are left scrambling to find the truth in a mire of fake data.
The shipmanagement and technical support services business should perform well in the coming year. The scale of technological change, environmental pressures and regulatory drivers create a perfect storm of uncertainty for owners. The third-party perspective and support from outside the owners is more likely to provide a specialist independent focus across all the issues.
On the subject of emissions, scrubbers need people to operate them, so training is a challenge and will be an extra complexity for shipmanagers.
We have been operating scrubbers on tankers in the North Sea for a couple of years. They are not a long-term solution but have potential upside for a period. It is a bet on the spread between heavy fuel oil and compliant fuel, and whether it justifies the investment.
Scrubbers have potential maintenance cycle consequences for managers but only a relatively low number are expected to be in operation by 2020 — between 1,500 and 2,000.
A lot of ports will have compliant fuel, whereas heavy fuel oil may not be available given the inferior income for producers.
There will be issues relating to fuel distribution and logistics in ports. Also, lube oil is a potential concern because you don’t use the same for all types of fuel. But the industry has a habit of resolving such issues.
Looking to 2019 and the years ahead, the greater complexity of shipping, including digitalisation and the need for transparency — with owners getting access to read type data — will drive smaller owners to outsource to third-party managers.The traditional model of shipmanagement companies providing access to people and shared services will change, and be more about competence.
The group has been monitoring the debate and discussions within the IMO relating to the 2020 sulphur cap and the implementation of the European Union sulphur directive (2016) 0.5% sulphur cap, which will also enter into force on 1 January 2020 in European member state territorial seas and EEZs [exclusive economic zones].
The issues arising in relation to these regulations are principally technical and operational, and have been well argued and addressed by national and international shipowner associations amongst other stakeholders.
The group has been following developments and shares the concerns within the shipping industry regarding the risk of machinery failure and vessel immobilisation arising from fuel-related problems, which could potentially result in protection and indemnity liabilities, and welcomes the initiative announced by the IMO Maritime Safety Committee at its meeting in December 2018 to pursue the development of 'further measures' to address the risks and enhance safety of ships related to the use of fuel oil in the run-up to the implementation of the sulphur cap in 2020.
Words used to describe IMO 2020 include ‘chaos’, ‘confusion’, ‘shock’ and ‘disastrous’. In our view, the main impact and challenges are cost and uncertainty. Based on our studies of ship operating costs, IMO 2020 will result in higher costs for shipping, regardless of whether compliance is achieved by installing scrubbers, switching to low-sulphur fuel, scrapping ships or doing nothing, thereby risking penalties.
IMO 2020 has created much uncertainty. First, regulatory uncertainty. Singapore’s arguably unexpected decision to ban open-loop scrubbers is a case in point. Also, while the IMO has repeatedly emphasised ‘no delay’ to IMO 2020, US President Donald Trump’s reported push to delay it suggests this is far from impossible. Additionally, future emissions regulations can change the cost-benefit picture on each compliance option. Second, there is uncertainty over the ability to comply. It is already clear that there is insufficient shipyard capacity to fit scrubbers on the entire commercial fleet. In addition, the availability of low-sulphur fuel in 2020 is also a question.
Shipping, in general, will continue to recover, although some sectors will perform better. The tanker industry will continue to struggle, but the IMO 2020 deadline may improve tanker demand through increased refinery utilisation to meet the low-sulphur fuel demand. Oversupply remains the watchword impacting shipping.
IMO 2020 regulations will increase the cost to the shipping industry, but the costs will eventually be passed onto the end user. Meanwhile, because of the high price of fuel oil (low-sulphur oil), shipping companies will slow down ships' speed to reduce fuel consumption. That will help to reduce the supply of shipping capacity, which will be good news for the whole shipping market.
During 2019, IMO 2020 regulations will bring great challenges not to us but to our clients. It will be difficult to make the decision whether the scrubber should be installed. Besides the questions of technical feasibility an economical efficiency, a lot of money is needed, especially for a big fleet, and also the dock capacity for installing scrubbers will be very tight, which means the cost will be higher than expected.
We are generally cautious and optimistic about the trends of the shipping market. In particular, we should closely follow the trend of China's economy, which has been an important engine for the development of the shipping market in the past two decades.
I think in 2019 we will continue to see a lot of uncertainty about IMO 2020 compliance solutions. But, for ship finance, it should be a good year, because many shipping companies may consider restructuring to reduce their leverage, increase equity and improve performance in order to be able to fund the expense of [IMO 2020] compliance.
It will be the year of decisions — scrubbers, low-sulphur fuel, LNG — and, based on the cost difference, in the short term, the solution for most ships will definitely have to be scrubbers. Especially for panamaxes and bigger ships. But owners will be watching for the cost difference to narrow and for oil majors to provide more global LNG-bunkering solutions. And, in the long run, not even LNG will be a good enough solution for the IMO goals for 2050.
On the newbuilding side, the impact of the 2020 emissions deadline came in 2018. In 2018, owners felt it was not time to place newbuilding orders because of uncertainty about technological solutions, while on the financial side, European banks had withdrawn from the market and owners were looking for alternative finance. At the same time, new orders placed by Chinese leasing houses have surprised the market. But I don’t think it should be such a big surprise given the cost of capital in China and the relatively low newbuilding prices.
We expect generally improving markets in 2019 in many sectors and, on the newbuilding side, it will be a good year for ordering products tankers. For dry bulk, it will be a relatively good year. Demand will be generally stable for Chinese imports and, in general, supply and demand will be balanced. Dry bulk fleet growth has happened mostly in VLOCs, with orders placed in 2017 or earlier based on long-term charters — and that has replaced the speculative capesizes and newcastlemaxes that would normally have been ordered to carry the same cargoes. In 2018, I have not seen so many of those orders, partly because it is hard for such owners to get support from financiers.
As one of the largest shipping nations in the world, Danish vessels operate to more than 600 different ports. Consequently, it is important in achieving 2020 compliance that efficient enforcement is secured all around the world, based on a global and uniform framework.
Our members are already preparing for the 0.5% sulphur cap deadline by conducting tests and training crew.
We firmly believe shipping companies will meet the deadline well prepared, but we depend on a level playing field being provided by the authorities via proper enforcement.
In the year ahead, Danish Shipping will make every effort to ensure that we remain one of the leading shipping nations. We are currently awaiting European Union approval of an expanded tax exemption scheme for seafarers working on specialist offshore vessels under the Danish International Register of Shipping.
We expect this will make sailing under the Danish flag attractive for offshore companies, and thus strengthen Danish maritime services employment relating to the oil and gas, and offshore wind industries.
Denmark is also increasing its focus on maritime research, education and innovation, positioning it as a global centre of maritime knowledge, as we believe such capabilities will be an increasingly competitive factor in future shipping.
IMO 2020 will bring both commercial and operational opportunities and risk. Regarding tanker employment and charter rates across ship types, we see likely upsides as vessels are taken out of service for modifications to tank arrangements or scrubber installations. Commercially, there will need to be significant discussions between charterers and tonnage providers.
Compliant fuel will be there. It is just a matter of what you have to pay for it. Straight distillate, blended fuel or a derivative bleed-off from the refining complex will all come at a variable price.
A closely integrated fuel procurement process will also be needed to ensure what is purchased is used correctly onboard given the increased variability of compliant fuel compatibility.
If using scrubbers, fuel buyers should ensure they have long-term contracts in place to secure HSFO [high-sulphur fuel oil] supply. We also recommend a focus on crew training and bunker purchasing department awareness.
Lloyd’s own testing of new fuels, via FOBAS [fuel oil bunker analysis and advisory service] specialists, show reasons to be optimistic and we remain busy today supporting shipowners and managers in the development of their new fuel management plans.
While the challenges posed by the 2020 fuel change are not to be underestimated, the industry can tackle these with a sense of confidence if sufficient planning, preparation, stakeholder engagement and proactive fuel change management is implemented.
The offshore sector is dominated by vessels that already burn low-sulphur fuel, mainly gasoil.
The only challenge we in the offshore space will see will be price impact as nobody yet understands the pricing implications based on the increased demand of low-sulphur fuel in 2020 and how the supply chain will be effected.
However, in the majority of offshore contracts [OSV and rigs], the ‘fuel’ is also invariably supplied by the charterer.
The offshore sector — especially the OSV sector — is plagued by too much equipment in the market coupled with a huge debt burden. It will take years for this to clear out. A relatively stable oil price — despite recent November and December volatility — has brought about positive sentiment, which helps a little.
Charter rates will remain low, equipment utilisation will continue to improve but most, apart from those fortunate to have been restructured like Tidewater, will have income and balance-sheet constraints that will not allow them to be profitable any time soon. Opex+ has become the mantra of the industry and debt service remains a problem going forward.
We are always seeking to ensure that our vessels are at the lowest emissions levels possible. The new vessels that we have recently added to our fleet — the PSVs Topaz Endurance and Topaz Energy, the AHTS vessels Topaz Master and Topaz Mariner, the subsea vessels Topaz Tiamat and Topaz Tangaroa, along with all 20 new vessels for the Tengizchevroil contract — are diesel-electric, which leads to a significant emissions benefit.
Our vessels are generally running on fuel supplied by our clients, and we have high standards for what we accept onboard our vessels. Our sulphur limits are already well within the new IMO standards coming into place in 2020 and, as a result, we expect a limited direct impact from the IMO deadline.
Because we are already operating on fuel that is well within the new standards, we will not be directly impacted as the industry prepares for IMO 2020. However, the new regulation will cause the cost of marine gasoil to go up as demand increases, which in turn will heighten the demand for more efficient vessels. Having clean and efficient vessels, we are in a good position to compete in this scenario, and we continue to optimise our fuel consumption in order to keep fuel costs as low as possible for our customers.
If you believe that there will be a demand for oil and gas going forward, as I do, there will be opportunities for the OSV sector. We foresee a rise in exploration and development, accompanied by a increase in maintenance requirements, which all leads to more activity in our sector. We are already seeing markets improve slowly as capex and opex spend by the oil majors is showing positive signs, and we expect this momentum to continue picking up into 2019 and 2020, which could be quite transformational years for the sector.
On the supply side, we believe many observers are mis-stating the OSV supply. With about one-third of the global OSV fleet remaining in layup, and with about half of these vessels being more than 30 years old, it’s our expectation that most of the stacked vessels will never return to active service, which will balance supply and demand much more than it looks on the surface.
The cruise industry works to ensure that we remain in full compliance with environmental standards put in place by multiple regulatory bodies, including the IMO, everywhere we visit. This is why we are investing in innovative solutions to meet the IMO 2020 deadline and sailing with MGO [marine gasoil] where required.
Carnival Corp has a deep commitment to operating responsibly, as our very existence is tied to protecting the oceans, seas and communities that our ships visit. We have been developing and implementing a number of industry-leading solutions across our fleet to meet, and in some cases exceed, the new standards, and we are well on track to meet the upcoming deadline.
We have led the industry in the development of new clean cruising technologies, including our advanced air quality systems [or scrubbers], and pioneered the use of LNG and shore power for cruiseships.
Most cruise operators like ourselves have already been investing in a number of proven innovations over the past several years to support positive environmental initiatives. But there continues to be misinformation around the benefits and impacts of technologies such as scrubbers, so the cruise industry will continue to educate the public and set the record straight against inaccurate information.
According to several studies, scrubbers on ships using HSFO [high-sulphur fuel oil] remove more than 98% of sulphur oxides from exhausts, resulting in cleaner emissions than those of MGO, and our water emissions have no negative environmental impacts. In fact, our water emissions studies are classification-society endorsed and meet international standards including the IMO standard for wash water.
The cruise industry is expecting to see growth next year with new ships and new destinations as more people discover the exceptional experience and value of cruising. CLIA [Cruise Lines International Association] is seeing record global cruise passengers for 2018, and all indications are that the industry will continue to grow next year and beyond. The cruise industry is under-penetrated in every market, so we will continue to see significant opportunities.
As a result, we remain optimistic about the future of cruising. On top of three straight years of strong financial performance, we have made great strides in the guest experience and our environmental initiatives.

We don’t just tell other people to buy our products. We use it throughout our day, too. We’re walking the walk, as they say.
Meditating first thing in the morning helps me start my day off right. A clear, distraction-free brain prepares me to crush my upcoming workout and handle any stressors that may occur during my day.
Starting my day with a great workout is an important part of what I deem a successful day. Perform is formulated to improve my strength and endurance going into my workout so I can do just that. Krill provides essential nutrients like phospholipids and healthy omega-3 fats to help support activity. People on keto have higher electrolyte needs and being deficient in electrolytes can impair your performance, especially in the gym. Supplementing with electrolytes prior to training is a great way to make sure my body is prepared for the training to come.
During or after my workout, I make a shake with a combination of whey protein and collagen protein.
Collagen gets taken up in your body and tissues more effectively when you exercise. It benefits joints, tendons, and ligaments. While whey is good for supporting muscle building and repair.
As I start my work day, I take stock of how I’m feeling. If I need a lot of energy, I take Nootropics. If I need just a little boost, I make a Matcha Latte. If I’m somewhere in between, I mix up a Keto Base with added MCT Oil Powder.
I formulated nootropics to have supportive nutrients for brain health, energy, and performance. The ketones in base provide an energy source for the brain that can improve brain performance. Matcha provides a little bit of caffeine combined with theanine which leads to a nice even energy boost with no jitters.
Throughout the afternoon, I snack on Keto Bars and a few packets of Nut Butter singles.
It is rare that I have time during the late afternoon to sit down for a full meal. Keto bars are a convenient and delicious way to get some calories in to energize the second half of my day without having to worry about a blood sugar crash. Nut butter allows me to add extra calories to this snack and let’s be honest, it’s a delicious combo!
Before dinner, I take a few Blood Sugar Support capsules. If I had more carbs than usual, I’ll take a couple before bed as well.
Dinner is my biggest meal of the day and even a keto friendly meal can increase blood sugar and stimulate insulin especially when calories are higher. Blood sugar support helps lower blood sugar spikes and put your body in a state of insulin suppression, not activation, allowing the body to focus on repair and recovery.
If I have a sweet tooth and want dessert, I’ll mix one of our flavored collagens, MCT Oil Powder, ice, and avocado for a decadent keto ice cream.
Most desserts come with a lot of sugar and low quality ingredients that do not contribute to a healthy and well functioning body. This combo is delicious, it’s real food, and it contributes to my goal of fueling a high performing mind and body.
Time for bed. Yes, I go to bed at 8:30 pm. Sleep is one of the pillars of health and I do not compromise on sleep.
I like to start my day with a dose of Keto Electrolytes. And because I try to avoid coffee early in the morning, I mix up a Keto Matcha Latte and get ready to settle into my deep work session of the morning.
Not only do I love the taste of Matcha Latte MCT Oil Powder, but MCTs give me the mental clarity and focus I need to focus during my heavy researching and writing, and the antioxidants and moderate caffeine in Matcha give me a sustained boost of energy. I supplement with Keto Electrolytes because I struggle to stay hydrated when I’m in ketosis.
After a few hours of deep work, I take a break with a late morning workout. I get my body primed for this with a scoop of Perform mixed with water. After my workout, I use two scoops of Keto Whey blended with unsweetened almond milk and avocado to help my body recover and build muscle.
Perform contains a blend of ingredients that give my body energy and support muscle performance. The isolate protein in Keto Whey supports muscle growth and recovery, with added MCTs for my body to burn post-workout.
About an hour after I workout, I enjoy my first meal of the day with a side of Keto Krill.
Keto Krill is filled with Omega 3 Fatty-Acids, which are important for reducing inflammation, cardiovascular health, and supporting healthy joints.
After lunch, it’s time to plug back into work. If I plan to work at my favorite coffee shop, then I bring some chocolate MCT Oil Powder to add to my coffee. If I’m working from home or at the Perfect Keto office that day, then I opt for Keto Coffee.
The Brain-boosting MCTs in MCT Oil Powder and Keto Coffee give me the brain boost to help me refocus and power through another deep work session.
Around this time, my energy dips, but I still want to dedicate another three hours or so to crushing work. Since I also like to avoid caffeine in the late afternoon, I mix 1 scoop of Keto Base with water to power through the slump. I also snack on a Lemon Poppyseed Keto Bar (my favorite flavor) as a little treat to hold me over until dinner.
The BHBs in Keto Base work to power my brain and body and provide some additional electrolytes to my diet. The MCTs in Keto Bars keep me full and satisfy my sweet tooth, without causing a blood sugar crash. They also contain collagen, which supports your joint and muscle health.
After I shut down from work for the day, I’m ready to enjoy a nice big dinner. I also take a second dose of Keto Krill at this time.
I don’t get enough Omega 3s in my diet and Krill Oil is good for your whole body health. That’s why I try to take two doses every day.
After dinner, I tend to have a sweet tooth. My go-to is a keto “hot cocoa” using almond milk and chocolate Keto Collagen.
The MCT Oil Powder in Keto Collagen makes for a very creamy texture, perfect for satisfying my dessert cravings and providing extra nutrients for my body.
I start my day by blending chocolate MCT Powder with 1 cup of coffee. I love that sweet jolt of caffeine to jump start my day––I actually look forward to it.
MCTs give me the additional energy boost I need to crush my workout and allows me to fat fast for the beginning of my day. The caffeine found in coffee gives me an additional fuel for my workout.
I make sure to start my day with a large glass of water to flush out my system. I take Keto Electrolytes and Krill Oil before hitting the gym. Taking them both at the same time helps me make sure I don’t forget later.
I notice improved performance and energy when I am supplementing with electrolytes prior to my training. I take Krill oil daily as well to ensure I am getting ample amounts of omega 3s to help reduce inflammation.
I workout at 7 AM, then go to the Perfect Keto office. Late morning, I mix a cup of decaf coffee with Nootropics and salted caramel Keto Collagen.
Keto Nootropic boosts my focus and productivity for my workday. Keto Collagen supports my gut, skin, and joint health. Bonus: they taste amazing together.
After a lunch of eggs, avocado and leafy greens, I often have a Keto Bar with a little Nut Butter drizzle for dessert.
Not only is this the BEST tasting combination ever, but it satisfies my sweet tooth and is packed full of collagen protein and healthy fat sources to keep hunger at bay until dinner time.
To fight that dreaded afternoon slump, I love to mix the Keto Greens with peach Keto Base. This ensures I am consuming all of the essential micronutrients and gives me the energy boost to crush the rest of my day.
Keto base contains ketones similar to what is made in your body while in ketosis, which can provide an energy source for the brain to improve focus and concentration. Keto Greens contain 26 vegetables and fruits, which most people lack on a ketogenic diet.
Time for dessert! After a dinner of protein and veggies, I love making my famous chocolate avocado mousse. I combine an avocado with chocolate Keto Collagen, chocolate MCT Powder, a splash of coconut cream, and real sea salt.
This is my go to healthy dessert alternative. The combination is delicious and packed full of healthy fats. Collagen benefits my digestion and helps support the health of my hair and nails.
I love to do yoga before I sleep to help me burn some energy. Depending on my activity level, I sometimes take 4 Keto Electrolyte capsules before bed.
Electrolyte deficiencies are the most common cause some of the unwanted side effects associated with the Ketogenic diet. Keto Electrolytes contain magnesium, which promote relaxation and sleep.

Solar flux and sunspot numbers were down again this week. Average sunspot numbers were down by over 66 points and average solar flux by almost 43 when compared to the previous week.
Last week's bulletin ARLP040 pointed out that the average daily solar flux values for the past three calendar quarters were all about the same, around 182 (180.5 for the first quarter, 182.9 for the second quarter, and 181.9 for the quarter year just completed). The average daily flux for September was 182.1, right at this same value. The past week's average solar flux was 152.6, well below this average.
We are surely at the peak of this solar cycle. Since there is so much daily variation in solar indices, we won't know until much later when the peak actually occurred. This year's values, although higher than last year's, look flat when examining the first nine months of this year.
Solar watchers and HF radio aficionados wonder if during the final quarter the sun will give us some more activity, yielding a later peak. Since the average radio amateur does not actually see many solar cycles during a lifetime, this is a subject of keen interest.
As a young child, the author of this bulletin missed the most exciting sunspot cycle of all, cycle 19 in 1958. As a young ham at age 12 in early 1965, I joined the amateur service at the solar minimum between cycles 19 and 20. The peak of cycle 20 around age 17 was a bit of a disappointment, especially after listening to the stories of the older brethren who gloried in the peak of cycle 19.
Cycles 21 and 22 around age 27 and 38 were more exciting than cycle 20, but one could only hope for another cycle 19 or better. Now at age 48, the probable peak of this cycle is not standing out as anything remarkable, and the question arises of how many more cycles will I get to see, and what will they be like? At an average 11 years per cycle, the probability of seeing much more than two additional solar cycle peaks seems remote, at least at this stage in life. One can only hope. At least by the era of cycle 23 we have so many more tools available than we did in earlier cycles, and with internet connections the availability of these observation and forecasting aids has come right down to the level of the average ham.
We may wish for more sunspots, but along with more activity comes more solar flares and coronal mass ejections which increase polar absorption of radio signals. These events are often interesting to aurora watchers and VHF enthusiasts, but can be a problem for HF communications. October 5 was a day of big geomagnetic disturbance, when the planetary A index reached 96 and there was a sustained period when the K index was seven, indicating a severe geomagnetic storm. The high latitude indices were worse, with Alaska's college A index at 105 and K index as high as eight.
Geomagnetic indices were very quiet from October 6-9. In fact, on October 8 Alaska's college A and K indices were zero for the entire day, which is highly unusual. Solar flux reached a recent short term minimum of 139.6 on October 10.
As this bulletin is written, activity is again increasing. Planetary A index is expected to rise to 35 on Friday, October 13, then hit 15 the next day and 12 for Sunday and Monday. Solar flux values for the same four days are predicted to be 170, 180, 195 and 205. The current rise in geomagnetic activity is due to a full halo coronal mass ejection at the end of the UTC day on October 9. This resulted in an interplanetary shock wave that hit earth's magnetosphere at 2330 UTC on October 12.
Solar flux is expected to peak at 220 around October 18 and 19, and not dip below 200 until October 28. The next short term solar flux minimum is expected around November 5-7. Average solar flux predicted for the next 45 days is 191, which is a bit higher than the average for the first three quarters of this year. Of course, this could be an artifact of the period we are looking at, which includes two upcoming peaks based on the 27.5 day solar rotation.
Sunspot numbers for October 5 through 11 were 145, 127, 94, 128, 106, 95 and 131 with a mean of 118. 10.7 cm flux was 173.8, 158.1, 155.6, 148.9, 140.8, 139.6 and 151.4, with a mean of 152.6, and estimated planetary A indices were 96, 6, 7, 5, 5, 12 and 14 with a mean of 20.7.

I first heard Ruthie Foster’s name spoken by Carolyn Wonderland at a show I reported on here in September. [Show Review: Carolyn Wonderland and Shinyribs Bring the Party to DC’s City Winery and Keep It Weird] I checked out her latest record, and I made a note that she was someone I might like to see. Foster has a reputation as a fantastic live act, and she certainly lived up to it Saturday evening at northeast DC’s City Winery. She presented a finely curated mix of blues, R&B, folk, and Americana-accented country that included both her own original songs and covers of some of my favorite artists. Her deliberate pace and careful presentation made for a lovely show with many heartfelt moments and memories.
Foster’s fourth song may have been written by Mississippi John Hurt, but the moment belonged to Jessie Mae Hemphill, one of the first successful female blues musicians. Ruthie talked about going to Senatobia, Mississippi to meet Jessie Mae. On the way to meet Jessie Mae, Ruthie stopped to call, and politely asked if she needed anything at the store. Jessie Mae replied that she did several things from store, including cleaning supplies. When she reached Jessie Mae’s house, Ruthie told the audience, Jessie Mae had her clean it. Ruthie said she was happy to do this to thank Jessie Mae for the trail she blazed.
Foster emphasized how much she loved her country music. Her next was the Johnny Cash classic “Ring of Fire,” played with a soulful, R&B arrangement. While “Ring of Fire” may be a Johnny Cash classic, it’s appropriately sung by a woman, as it was actually written by June Carter Cash. Ruthie also professed her love of Heehaw and her sadness at the passing of its host, Roy Clark. For a few bars, Ruthie lovingly imitated Clark’s distinctive guitar picking, as well as the way he’d roll his eyes back when he played.
Her bassist came in midway through the song.
Foster followed “Phenomenal Woman” with “Stone Love,” then “It Might Not Be Right for the World, But It’s All Right for this Girl,” which she co-wrote with William Bell. She finished her set with the old Gullah song “Travelin’ Shoes,” which celebrates death as a passing on to another world.
Ruthie and the band briefly left the stage, returning for their encore amidst a thunderous round of applause. They played Al Green’s “I’ll Be There,” and I’m ashamed to say I didn’t get the name of the second song in the encore. I was too entranced by the drum solo. Foster’s drummer had family in the audience, and Ruthie let him show off, in what was a mesmerizing display of skill.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — NBC executives said Sunday they are conscious about the amount of violence they air in the wake of real-life tragedies like the Connecticut school shooting, but have made no changes in what has gone on the air or what is planned.
NBC isn’t a “shoot-’em-up” network, said network entertainment President Jennifer Salke.
The level of violence on television, in movies and video games has been looked at as a contributing factor – along with the availability of guns and a lack of mental health services – in incidents such as the Dec. 14 attack in a Newtown, Conn., school where 20 first-graders and six educators were killed.
Like many in Hollywood, NBC questioned a link between what is put on the air and what is happening in society.
NBC hasn’t needed to take any tangible steps like minimizing violence in its programming or deemphasizing guns, Salke said, because NBC didn’t have much violence on the air. It might be different “if we were the `shoot-’em-up’ network, she said.

Forget the UEFA Champions League final in June, the biggest European competition is actually taking place just a few weeks before.
There are just 100 days until Eurovision 2019 and viewers will get their first taste of the action this weekend.
Who will represent the UK?
The UK's representative has yet to be decided but you can have your say this weekend.
Eurovision: You Decide will air on BBC Two on Friday, February 8, at 7.30pm.
TV presenter Mel Giedroyc and Swedish pop singer Mans Zelmerlow will host the show live from MediaCityUK in Salford that gives viewers the chance to choose from six contenders.
Many of the contenders are former reality contestants already - including an X Factor contestant, a Britain's Got Talent finalist and the winner of All Together Now.
There are five solo acts and one band of three classically-trained musicians who are all hoping to represent the UK in May.
Where will Eurovision 2019 be?
This year's event will take place in just 100 days time in the city of Tel Aviv, Israel.
The host nation each year is decided by the previous competition's winner and last year, Israeli singer Netta won triumphed.
A total of 42 countries will take part across the two semi-finals on May 14 and May 16 before the Grand Final two days later.
All six will sing one of three different songs - Sweet Lies, Bigger Than Us and Freaks - to try to impress both viewers at home and the judges.
This year, Rylan Clark-Neal, Mollie King and Marvin Humes will make up the judging panel and will send three of the acts home.
Then it will be put to a vote for the public to decide who will represent the UK in this year's contest.
Do they have a chance of winning Eurovision?
The UK hasn't won the competition since 1997 and has become infamous for finishing with 'nul points' in recent years.
In 2018, the UK's SuRie finished third from last with her performance of Storm.
The English singer-songwriter was even interrupted mid-performance by a stage invader who grabbed the microphone off her.
With a few months still to go, the bookies' favourites this year are currently Russia and Sweden with the UK all the way back at 33/1 outsiders.
Will the UK still be involved after Brexit?
If you were hoping we could skip the whole thing after we leave the European Union, you'll be sorely disappointed.
Last year the European Broadcasting Union told the Manchester Evening News that politics would not stand in the way.
‘The BBC and the UK have a long relationship with the Eurovision Song Contest. The BBC, representing the UK, will therefore remain a welcome participant in the Contest next year and going forward,’ they said.

This privacy statement provides you with information about the nature, scope and purposes of the processing of personal data on our website www.dspecialists.de.
a) If you have any questions regarding data protection, rights or claims regarding your personal data, you can contact us using the contact options given above (in section 1.1.) or using our contact form.
b) When you contact us (for example by telephone, e-mail or contact form), your data for processing the enquiry and in the event that follow-up questions arise will be stored in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. We delete the data arising in this context after the storage is no longer necessary, or limit the processing if statutory retention obligations exist (see Section 13). If you assert your rights or claims within the framework of the DSGVO, we store your data of the request for 3 years. The period begins at the end of the year in which the conversation ended. The reason for the retention is that during this time claims may be asserted or it must be proven that we have answered your enquiry.
the processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or those of a third party, unless your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, which require the protection of personal data, prevail (balancing of interests).
b) The personal data collected from you will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the collection has ceased to exist (see section 13).
2.2. What is personal data?
a) What "personal data" is derived from Art. 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). According to this, personal data is such information that can be assigned to your person by proportionate means. Personal data are divided into four groups. This includes inventory data (e.g. names and addresses of customers), contract data (e.g. services used, names of agents, payment information), usage data (e.g. websites visited on our website, interest in our products) and content data (e.g. entries in the contact form). Information that cannot be assigned to a specific or identifiable person, or only with a disproportionate amount of time, cost and manpower, is not personal data.
b) For technical reasons, other data is also processed when you visit our website. This is mainly technical information, such as the IP address that your Internet access provider assigns to your computer when you connect to the Internet, or information about the Internet site from which you accessed our site, or about the type and version of Internet browser you are using. This also includes login data, your operating system, download errors, the length of visits to certain pages, and all telephone numbers from which you call our customer service number. This technical information may be personal data in individual cases. As a rule, however, we only use technical information to the extent that this is necessary for technical reasons for the operation and protection of our website against attacks and misuse in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR is required.
2.3. What is meant by "processing"?
What is to be understood by "processing" also results from Art. 4 of the General Data Protection regulation (GDPR). This includes all processes involved in handling the data. The very concept of "processing" includes not only the collection or recording, but also the organisation or arrangement or storage, adaptation or modification. But other ways of handling, such as the actual use, or the transmission or even the passing on, also fall under the generic term of "processing". Ultimately, however, this also includes the restriction, deletion or destruction of data.
The security of your personal data has a very high priority for us. We therefore protect your data stored with us through technical and organisational measures. This ensures that the provisions of data protection laws are observed and that loss or misuse by third parties is effectively prevented. In particular, our employees who process personal data are bound to data secrecy and must comply with it.
Our website uses secure SSL encryption for the transmission of personal data or personal contents of our users. Please make sure that the SSL-encryption is activated by your side during corresponding activities. The use of encryption is easy to recognize: The display in your browser line changes from "http://" to "https://". Data encrypted via SSL cannot be read by third parties. Therefore, only transmit your confidential information if SSL encryption is activated and contact us if in doubt.
b) The information mentioned under a) is stored for a maximum of 7 days for security reasons (e.g. to clarify misuse or fraud) and then deleted. Data whose further storage is required for evidential purposes will be retained until the matter has been finally resolved.
c) In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. More detailed information on cookies can be found in section 9.
In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if you are interested. As a rule, you must provide further personal data, which we use to provide the respective service and to which the aforementioned data processing principles apply.
a) When you contact us (via contact form, telephone, fax or e-mail), your details will be processed for the purpose of processing the contact enquiry and processing it in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO (necessary details within the framework of pre-contractual measures) or in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO (justified interest in answering your enquiry). If you contact us via contact form, email or fax, we will also save the contents you have sent us. If we use our contact form to request information, you can only send the request if you have provided the necessary information. In this case, you will receive a notification window telling you which information you still have to enter.
b) Optional information (address data, website, other contact data and content data) is provided on a voluntary basis. If you provide information about communication channels (e.g. telephone number), we may also contact you via this communication channel to respond to your request. The personal data provided by you will only be used for the purpose for which you provided us with the data when contacting us.
c) We delete the data received within the scope of contacting you as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose of your collection. This also applies to your voluntary information. It is in our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO) to store the data together with the required data, as deleting individual data from a data package would be disproportionately time-consuming. If you expressly wish to delete individual data, please send us a short message (see point 1).
For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, the data will be deleted when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is then ended, if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been conclusively clarified, but no later than 1 month after the last contact was made. If a contractual relationship is established, or if you wish us to include your personal data in our database, we will store your personal data in accordance with the information in Section 13.
a) If you are a customer of ours, we will store your personal data for the duration of the contractual relationship and for a further 10 years, unless statutory retention periods force us to store the data for a longer period (see Section 13). This storage is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest is based on the duration of the limitation period for contractual claims, which is a maximum of 10 years (from knowledge of the claim).
b) We process the data which you have made available to us and which we receive from other publicly accessible sources.
c) Your personal data will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO. We process your data in order to facilitate a smooth business relationship.
b) When passing on your personal data, we always ensure the highest possible level of security. Therefore, your data will only be passed on to carefully selected and contractually obligated service providers and partner companies in order to ensure the protection of personal data in accordance with the relevant legal regulations.
c) We draw your attention to the fact that in addition to this data protection declaration, the data protection guidelines and declarations of the locally responsible partners and their authorised institutions may also apply.
d) If we pass on your data to third parties, we will draw your attention to this in a separate data protection declaration.
8. Where is your personal data stored?
a) The personal data we collect about you is stored within the European Union ("EU"). However, it may happen in exceptional cases that personal data is transferred to non-European countries. In these so-called "third countries", the DSGVO is not a directly applicable law. As a result, there is generally also a less strict data protection law there.
b) Such data transfer to countries outside the European Economic Area may occur, for example, when processing a service request or providing support services electronically.
We use so-called "cookies" to recognize multiple use of our offer by the same user or Internet connection owner. The data processed by cookies is necessary to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f DSGVO (see section 5).
Almost all websites nowadays use different cookies so that the respective pages function as desired and design and functions can be optimally represented for you.
Cookies are information files that are transferred from our web server or third party web servers to your web browser and stored there. They are stored there for later retrieval.

Cookies are mainly used for the user-friendliness of websites (e.g. they store login data or the language). Cookies do no damage to your end device, do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware.
9.2. What types of "cookies" do we use?
a) Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. This includes in particular the session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which different requests of your browser can be assigned to the common session. This will allow your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. We therefore use these cookies in order to be able to identify you for subsequent visits if, for example, you select a language and are not to make this selection again when calling up a subpage. The session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
a) We do not pass on your personal data, which you have made available to us, to third parties, unless the data is required for processing your contract, there are legitimate interests or you have expressly consented to the transfer. Insofar as we are legally obliged to do so, we pass on your data to government agencies and authorities entitled to receive such information. Our legitimate interests include, for example, the interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR.
c) If our service providers or partners are based in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you of the consequences of this circumstance in the description of the offer.

If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or does not allow access, content will be displayed in a default font.
Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Adwords sets a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad served by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can see that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be traced through the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that personally identifies users.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - for example via browser settings that generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies or set your browser so that cookies are blocked by the "googleleadservices.com" domain.
Please note that you may not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not wish measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in your browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.
We use the open source software Matomo to analyze and statistically evaluate the use of the website. Cookies are used for this purpose.

b) If we base the processing of your personal data on the weighing of interests, you may object to the processing. This is the case if processing is not necessary in particular to fulfil a contract with you, which is described by us in the following description of the functions.

It’s fifteen minutes before the big meeting. The bagels and coffee are laid out, the PowerPoint is set up, and the conference room is spotless. The only thing left to do is print the Agendas. Feeling accomplished, you click print and walk to the printer. Blinking red lights. Error message. Is it jammed? Out of paper? Possessed? No it just needs a new toner. Where are the extra toners? Frantically, you dig through the cabinet, and finally find a dusty toner that expired in 2012. Looks like the meeting won’t be starting on time.
Nothing can bring a busy work day to a halt like a printer malfunction. To make matters worse, printing costs make up about 40% of a business’s consumable spend. Printers are expensive, frustrating, and time consuming. There’s a reason Office Space’s most famous scene is a gang of straight-laced professionals destroying a printer.
We’ve created a complimentary (that’s right- FREE) service designed to make your printing less complicated. WRIGLEY'S Toner Savings Program is our response to some of your biggest printing issues.
Get the maximum amount of toner out of every cartridge.
“Replace Toner” alerts come on before the cartridge is empty. Most companies throw away 10-15% of their toner by replacing cartridges too early. Our software will monitor your toner levels so you use every last drop.
Check one item off your “To Do” list.
You won’t have to worry about ordering toner ahead of time. WRIGLEY'S will monitor your toner levels and automatically deliver a new cartridge just when you need it.
No more stockpiling back-up toners.
Don’t tie up your money buying extra toners. WRIGLEY'S free next-day delivery means you’ll always have toner when you need it.
You’ll never have to run to the store for a last minute toner again. WRIGLEY'S will send you a new cartridge when your toner levels are low.
Never find an expired toner in the back of a closet.
Did you know toner cartridges have a shelf-life? Our automatic delivery service means you won’t have to worry about keeping extra toner around.
You will have access to a dashboard that reads your toner levels and printer usage. It will also provide you with information about preventative services to extend the life of your printer. You won’t have to worry about a printer shutting down because it’s over due for a service.
Think this sounds good? It gets even better. Sign up today for WRIGLEY'S Toner Savings Program and we will take 10% off every purchase of WRIGLEY'S Private Label Toner for the NEXT THREE YEARS.
That’s right, three years of savings. Printing doesn’t have to be difficult.
Let WRIGLEY'S Toner Savings Program simplify your printing experience.

The eBay annual shareholder meeting this morning had none of the dramatic flair you'd expect from a company that's under siege from disgruntled users.
Sure, there were a couple nut jobs, including a guy who rattled on about a letter he wrote "Meg" last year and a bunch of other stuff we didn't really understand.
There was also a requisite PETA representative there – she talked about the sale of live cats and dogs on Tom.com, eBay's partner in China. EBay CEO John Donahoe said he appreciated her concern and that he would communicate them to Tom Online.
It surprised us, though, given the loud complaints from eBay sellers, that there weren't any seller/shareholders who made their voices heard. Earlier this year eBay implemented a number of changes – including feedback and fee structure modifications – that prompted several boycott attempts. Perhaps few sellers actually own eBay shares; or maybe they just didn't get any microphone time. In either case, it was quiet. And the vibe on Wall Street about eBay seems fairly positive right now, thanks to decent growth in listings.
"I think we've seen a lot of sellers invest resources in improving shipping, customer service, the clarity of the message on their site," says Steve Weinstein, an analyst with Pacific Crest Securities. "There's still a lot more work to be done, though . . . And I can't say I've seen a significant pickup in buyer activity, but that doesn't mean it won't occur."

I restumbled upon my journal when looking for some old holiday cookie recipes. I'd also received the notification that my paid account (and some icons) had died a quick death. I didn't immediately renew, because why spend the money on something I really don't use anymore?
But whilst researching my recipes, I changed my mind. I've heard journaling can be very good for you, and If no comments are expected, all the better. I'm actually going to be doing a journaling project for one of my schools. I'd read that it had some small pay attached to it (or release time?) but apparently the perk only applies to full-time faculty and staff. You'd better believe my journal will be called some version of ~adjunctly and include a lot of I AM AN ADJUNCT rhetoric.
Should I change my journal name? It's been ten years since I played rugby, and I'm no baby. (Wasn't then either, honestly.) Interestingly, adjunctly is available for purchase, but eh. I'm not my job. BUT the definition for adjunct is "a thing added to something else as a supplementary rather than an essential part", so that could actually be quite nice. That said, I think I'm still attached to this name, in the same way that I keep my paid account and userpics.
Off to bake some things. Typically we have a big family holiday tonight but my side of the family changed things up, and I'm quite happy to instead stay home, bake cookies, and drink mimosas.
Also, we have a pug.

If your information about Sudan and ERitrea signing an agremeent where people of both countries can enter each others country without visaa, how come there are still hundreds of Eritreans fleeign Eritrea each week and seeking asylum in Sudan? Why are there still refugee camps in Eastern Sudan which grow bigger each week?
Those Eritreans you see on ever street corner are refugees who have fled Eritrea and are now suffering in Sudan as refugees with very few rights.

At ESIEE Paris we have a language centre full of resources that is available to help students improve their language levels and learn about other cultures.
Learning a foreign language is not always easy; many aspects of a language, such as grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, can be improved with the help of a native speaker. To help students overcome these difficulties, a British Erasmus student is always available in the language centre within opening hours to welcome students and give them advice.
The opportunity to increase fluency in English with a native speaker and eventual mastery of a foreign language are invaluable in opening many professional doors in the future careers of our young engineers.
Opening hours: Monday – Thursday 10:30 – 19:00, Friday 10:30 – 14:30.
The language center, a friendly exchange place!

The mystical, magical language of Ogham dates from the 4th century AD and can be found carved in stones, trees and important monuments throughout Ireland.
This stunning two-tone ring pays homage to this ancient Irish language. The words ‘My Soul Mate’ are engraved in Ireland’s most ancient script in to this Ogham and Trinity Knot White Gold Band with Yellow Gold Center. It is available for both ladies and gents in 10k and 14k white gold with the yellow gold in the middle.
The lines and markings of Ogham really stand out in the gold and there is an added Celtic feature with Ireland’s iconic Trinity knot and its distinctive knot-work and interconnected loops embedded as an extra element to this design.
My wife and I love our Ogham and Trinity Knot Rings, in white and yellow gold center. Very early 50th Wedding Anniversary Gift for us.
Thank you so much for your help and understanding . You give an amazing service. My husband loves his ring and wears it with pride. He also gets many comments about it. I will definitely recommend you.
We love, love, love our rings! They are beautiful. My husband and I bought matching Ogham & Trinity Knot bands and the white gold with yellow gold center looks stunning. Customer service was excellent and replied promptly to my emails. This is my second purchase from Rings from Ireland and I highly recommend their jewelry.
Rings from Ireland says: Thank you so much for the great review Lori!

Could Jho Low Look Like This?
To all you wannabe Sherlock Holmes, now is the best time to put your skills to the test and find Malaysia's fugitive financier Jho Low. Why? Well, Kepong MP, Mr Lim Lip Eng is offering RM100,000 to the person who find Jho!
Many believe that Jho Low may be facial reconstruction surgery and assumed an alias - so it makes it even harder to find the man. Guess that's why there's this big RM100k bounty on his head.
Maybe he's gone for a Dwayne Johnson look?
No one knows exactly where he is now, but first we need to know how he could/do look right now.
Maybe he snapped his fingers and killed anyone who recognized him..(?) WARNING: Do Not Approach.
...there's even a possibility that he took all that money to become the most powerful gangster on Tatooine?
...or you can't find him cause he's too busy running Wakanda.
Here are some ideas that we thought could be a possibility. What do you think? Let us know if you have any leads!

Awesome, I was following this one's progress along with some of the other upcoming kits on your site. I have a couple of earlier kits and they are really well done. I was really interested in this one because of the RAGE vibe it had going on. I was curious why 1/35 was chosen though. It's not a bad scale, just a little unusual for cars.

Well, look at this. My good friends Chris Johnson (he of famous mute exercise videos) and Ryan Debell (he of the superb MovementFix series) have created running and strength and conditioning programs. I'm being a total shill here because I am biased towards these guys. It is a very good program (I get nothing for saying this although Chris did let me sleep in his basement for a weekend) and you can see it here.
They've developed interactive pdf running programs that help you get faster while still having a life and don't lead to your other athletic abilities go downhill. The programs blend running with straightforward strength training. What I am envious of is the integration of the videos and demos within the pdf. If you aren't sure of the exercise, you click on the exercise and up pops the video. I took a screen shot below.
As a therapist I think using this program with your patients could certainly be valuable. You don't have to use the entire program but you can use it as blueprint to modify a running program, get people started with a running program and certainly improve someone's training.
It also is a good source for exercise videos. The exercises are straightforward, comprehensive and certainly applicable to a lot of conditions.

In 2008, Centennial Bank was a $1.5 billion community bank with amazing growth prospects, but it was being held back by its manual BSA/AML compliance processes that were tedious, inefficient and incomplete. FIS helped transition the bank to a modern, enterprise-wide system that automated onboarding and risk-rating of customers, automated regulatory report filing with batch processes for currency transaction and suspicious activity reports, and improved the bank’s ability to detect and report suspicious activity.
Save time and resources while reducing fraud risk with automated compliance checks.
Once FIS cut the chains of manual compliance, Centennial immediately saw tangible savings in time and resources, and knew it had a solution that could scale with its rapid growth.
Driven by acquisitions as well as organic growth, Centennial has quadrupled in size to more than $7.1 billion in assets. With each acquisition, Centennial has been able to faithfully rely on the FIS compliance solution.
Centennial continues on its strong growth trajectory and is working with FIS to ensure it scales smartly and efficiently, while ensuring its compliance operations are automated, accurate and consistent.
