Lord,
grant us your forgiveness,
and set us free from our enslavement to sin.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Scripture Reading
Isaiah 52:13-15

See, my servant will prosper, he shall be lifted up, exalted, rise to great heights. As the crowds were appalled on seeing him โ€“ so disfigured did he look that he seemed no longer human โ€“ so will the crowds be astonished at him, and kings stand speechless before him; for they shall see something never told and witness something never heard before.

Dramatic Video From Widow of Slain Candidate Rocks Presidential Race in Ecuador, Confirms Drop Site Investigation


#politics #war #imperialism

A stunning allegation has rocked the Ecuadorian presidential election, with the widow of a slain presidential candidate confirming the accuracy of an explosive investigation published last year by Drop Site News.

The article published evidence that the nationโ€™s attorney general, a close ally of the United States, had withheld accurate information about the assassination, and pushed forward disinformation, in an effort to frame the political party of former president Rafael Correa for the murder.

Tarifs douaniers : Trump dรฉclare la guerre รฉconomique au reste du monde - ร‰lucid


#รฉconomie #politique #impรฉrialisme

La dรฉcision de Trump de mettre fin au libre-รฉchange nรฉolibรฉral est terriblement brutale, et dangereuse pour lโ€™avenir du monde.

Il ne sโ€™agit pas dโ€™un coup de bluff, mais dโ€™une politique rรฉflรฉchie en amont qui vise ร  rรฉduire le dรฉficit commercial des ร‰tats-Unis. Lโ€™objectif affichรฉ est de rรฉindustrialiser le pays en vue de crรฉer des emplois, mais aussi de renforcer la sรฉcuritรฉ nationale en se dotant dโ€™un appareil industriel de dรฉfense autonome et performant.

Une telle stratรฉgie protectionniste, bien que sensรฉe sur le fond, devrait รชtre menรฉe avec mesure, prudence, et de faรงon bien plus coopรฉrative. Il est toutefois possible que de nombreux accords bilatรฉraux soient signรฉs, rรฉduisant rapidement les taux รฉlevรฉs imposรฉs le 2 avril, qui nโ€™auraient donc รฉtรฉ, pour un certain nombre de pays, quโ€™un brutal coup de pression temporaire pour les faire cรฉder. Cela nรฉcessitera cependant des concessions non seulement รฉconomiques, mais aussi politiques, que de nombreux pays ne vont pas apprรฉcier, voire refuser. Quoiquโ€™il en soit, cโ€™est une รฉtape dรฉcisive du passage ร  un monde multipolaire.

En attendant, ce violent retour ร  une politique protectionniste est bien parti pour avoir des effets dรฉvastateurs, aux ร‰tats-Unis comme dans beaucoup de pays du monde. Leur รฉtendue dรฉpendra des dรฉcisions politiques de rรฉtorsion que vont prendre les dirigeants mondiaux. Il est impossible de savoir ร  ce stade si Trump gagnera ou pas son pari de rรฉindustrialisation.

La situation sโ€™annonce particuliรจrement critique pour les dirigeants europรฉens, divisรฉs comme dโ€™habitude : ils disposent de bien peu de cartes en main pour nรฉgocier, mais de beaucoup trop dโ€™arrogance. Trump ayant encore de nombreuses armes ร  sa disposition, un conflit avec lui pourrait sโ€™avรฉrer encore plus dommageable pour nos รฉconomies.

The "Palestinians" are PURE EVIL WALKING ON THIS EARTH!
This is an interview with a "Palestinian" woman who proclaims proudly that she ENJOYED the videos Hamas posted on Oct 7, 2023, cf. below.

She also LIES about them and denies what everyone can verify for themselves.

Then she claims that she should still have a "refugee" statues, although she lives a totally normal life and was never a "refugee" and that they will never accept a "2 state solution" - which is off the table, at this point.

She claims that Jews should "go back to where they came from, the dumb bitch.

Jews were ALWAYS the majority population of Israel - even under various occupations. Arabs are the ones who arrived very recently.

At least 850'000 Jews were expelled from Muslim majority countries in Northern Africa and the Middle East after 1948. Where are they supposed to go "back to"?

The stupidity of these imbeciles is unbelievable. She claims to be an "engineer", yet she clearly cannot think rationally.

Humanity cannot coexist with such evil โ˜ ๏ธโ˜ ๏ธโ˜ ๏ธ

The next time they want to toss the "But the polio vaccine saved many lives" let them know that from 1929 to 1952 the rate of Polio was in the decline because personal hygiene and better sewage and water safety practices were taking place in major cities. Yes there were many flair ups but they were becoming increasingly less and less each year. The vaccine only helped stabilize the populace but in reality better food and sanitation practices were being implemented which is the REAL REASON we no longer have polio in this country. Don't believe me? Afghanistan and Pakistan have been vaccinating their people for over 40 years and polio is still the #1 killer of children in these 2 countries. Why would this be? Because their health and sanitation infrastructure sucks to high heaven maybe? You can't vaccinate your way out of this problem until your people can drink clean water and human/animal poop isn't everywhere. Basically it's proof positive that the polio vaccine doesn't work but a proper diet, good hygiene and working sanitation does.

So since the polio vaccine has been proven to be a joke, I'm starting to wonder what else doesn't really work.

Filing Annual Returns with ACRA: A Detailed Guide for Compliance


This guide provides a detailed walkthrough of the process, highlighting the importance of secretarial services and the role of a company secretary in ensuring seamless compliance.

Ensuring compliance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) is a fundamental responsibility for businesses operating in Singapore. Filing annual returns is a critical component of this compliance, serving as an official update to ACRA regarding your companyโ€™s status. While the task may seem routine, it is essential for maintaining your companyโ€™s good standing and avoiding potential penalties. This guide provides a detailed walkthrough of the process, highlighting the importance of secretarial services and the role of a company secretary in ensuring seamless compliance.

The Significance of Annual Returns


Annual returns serve as a formal communication to ACRA, confirming your companyโ€™s ongoing operations and providing updates on key aspects such as directors, shareholders, and financial health. Failure to file these returns can result in fines, late fees, or even the removal of your company from the register.

Conversely, timely filing enhances your companyโ€™s credibility, demonstrating to investors, partners, and clients that your business is well-managed and compliant. Additionally, the process offers an opportunity to review and update your companyโ€™s records, ensuring accuracy and completeness. Let us explore the steps necessary to achieve a successful filing.

Step 1: Preparation and Documentation


Before accessing ACRAโ€™s BizFile+ portal, it is crucial to organize all necessary documentation. Consider this step akin to assembling the components of a comprehensive report. The following items are required:

  • Company details: Unique Entity Number (UEN), registered address, and key dates such as your financial year-end.
  • Director and shareholder information: Names, identification numbers, and any changes.
  • Financial statements: Most companies require an unaudited financial statement or a solvency statement if exempt.
  • AGM details: If your company holds an Annual General Meeting, note the date.

It is advisable to engage a company secretary to manage this information. They serve as your compliance partner, ensuring that deadlines and details are meticulously tracked. Disorganized records can lead to missed deadlines and potential penalties, underscoring the importance of thorough preparation.

Step 2: Reviewing AGM and Financial Statements


For companies not exempt from holding an AGM, this meeting must occur within six months of the financial year-end. The AGM provides shareholders with updates and approvals for financial matters. If an AGM is not conducted, a declaration of exemption must be filed, a common practice for small companies.

The preparation of financial statements is a critical component of the filing process. Small or exempt private companies (with annual revenue under S$10 million) may only require a basic report. Larger firms, however, must submit detailed accounts. Secretarial services play a vital role in ensuring the accuracy and completeness of these documents, identifying potential issues before submission to ACRA.

Step 3: Filing Process


The filing process is conducted via BizFile+, ACRAโ€™s online portal. The following steps outline the procedure:

  • Select โ€œFile Annual Returnโ€ under your companyโ€™s profile.
  • Confirm your company details, including directors and shareholders.
  • Upload your financial statements or solvency statement.
  • Declare your AGM date (or exemption).
  • Pay the filing fee (S$60 for most companies, as of now).

Before submission, it is imperative to review all information for accuracy. Errors or outdated information can lead to complications and potential penalties. Company secretarial services can manage the entire filing process, ensuring precision and efficiency.

Step 4: Confirmation and Record-Keeping


Upon successful submission, ACRA will issue a confirmation. Retain this document as proof of timely filing. Additionally, review the updated company profile to ensure that all changes are accurately reflected. This step is crucial for maintaining accurate records and ensuring compliance.

Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them


While the filing process is straightforward, several common pitfalls can lead to complications:

  • Missed Deadlines: ACRA enforces strict timelines. Companies have seven months from the financial year-end to file (or one month after the AGM, if applicable). Missing this deadline can result in fines starting at S$300. To avoid this, set reminders or engage a company secretary to manage deadlines.
  • Inaccurate Details: Outdated information regarding directors or addresses can cause issues. Conduct a thorough audit of your records before filing to ensure accuracy and completeness.
  • Financial Statement Errors: Incomplete or incorrect financials can lead to rejection by ACRA. Even exempt firms require a solvency statement. A company secretary can identify and rectify these gaps before submission.
  • Overconfidence in DIY Filing: While managing the process independently may seem feasible, compliance requires precision and expertise. Secretarial services provide valuable support, ensuring compliance and reducing the risk of errors.


The Role of Secretarial Services


Secretarial services are indispensable for businesses seeking to maintain compliance with ACRA. A company secretary functions as a personal organizer for your business, managing deadlines, verifying forms, and ensuring compliance. These services alleviate the administrative burden, allowing you to focus on core business operations.

In conclusion, filing annual returns with ACRA is a critical responsibility for businesses in Singapore. By preparing thoroughly, utilizing secretarial services, and adhering to compliance requirements, you can ensure a smooth and successful filing process. Embrace the support of a company secretary, and navigate the complexities of compliance with confidence and ease.

Talking with my Dad today about traveling to the US, he told me a story about another Canadian (two degrees of separation, a colleague of someone I know well). She works in finance in New York City. She recently went back to Canada for a short visit, and then when she tried to return, US immigration decided not to let her back in. That's it. No way to appeal. Now she has an apartment and job in NYC, but is working from Canada, and the company lawyers say there's nothing they can do.

I really cannot imagine traveling to the US at this point.

Le plan de Trump et des spรฉculateurs de Wall Street ne se passe pas comme prรฉvu

En temps normal, quand il y a des turbulences sur les marchรฉs, le dollar et lโ€™or sont considรฉrรฉs comme des valeurs refuge. Cโ€™est-ร -dire que les investisseurs se tournent vers eux pour se protรฉger de lโ€™instabilitรฉ.

Prenons le cas du dollar : dans un contexte incertain, les investisseurs prรฉfรจrent acheter des dollars pour ne pas รชtre exposรฉs ร  des monnaies plus faibles, plus volatiles, ou plus risquรฉes. Donc le cours du dollar monte par rapport aux autres devises.

En parallรจle, quand les marchรฉs sentent quโ€™une rรฉcession approche, ils anticipent que la Fed (la banque centrale amรฉricaine) va baisser ses taux dโ€™intรฉrรชt pour relancer lโ€™รฉconomie. Car quand les taux baissent, emprunter coรปte moins cher, et cela peut stimuler lโ€™activitรฉ.

Il faut comprendre que la Fed maรฎtrise complรจtement les taux ร  trรจs court terme, mais pas les taux longs, comme ceux ร  10 ou 30 ans. Ces derniers sont dรฉcidรฉs par le marchรฉ, en fonction de lโ€™offre et de la demande. Toutefois, quand la Fed baisse les taux courts, cela pousse souvent aussi les taux longs ร  baisser.

Depuis 2008, la Fed est mรชme intervenue plus directement : elle rachรจte des obligations dโ€™ร‰tat amรฉricaines pour faire baisser les taux. Cโ€™est ce quโ€™on appelle le Quantitative Easing โ€“ un nom savant pour dire que la Fed crรฉe dโ€™รฉnormes quantitรฉs de dollars pour acheter la dette publique des ร‰tats-Unis.

Ce scรฉnario (turbulence sur les marchรฉs, baisse des taux par la Fed, achats massifs dโ€™obligations) a รฉtรฉ anticipรฉ par les investisseurs, et sรปrement mรชme par Trump qui a initiรฉ ces turbulences par la guerre commerciale lancรฉe contre les partenaires commerciaux des ร‰tats-Unis.

Au dรฉbut, tout sโ€™est passรฉ comme prรฉvu. Mais ensuite, les taux longs amรฉricains sont remontรฉs violemment, ce qui a contredit les paris faits par les conseillers de Trump et les spรฉculateurs (dont Howard Lutnick de Cantor/BGC est les 2 ร  la fois). Et ces paris des spรฉculateurs portaient sur un sujet extrรชmement sensible : la dette publique des ร‰tats-Unis.

Pourquoi ce retournement ? Voici quelques รฉlรฉments de rรฉponse :

Cette fois, les dirigeants amรฉricains sont perรงus comme imprรฉvisibles. Les marchรฉs ont peur. Acheter des dollars devient moins attrayant.

Qui a envie dโ€™acheter des obligations amรฉricaines ร  long terme quand on a ร  faire ร  un prรฉsident orgueilleux, agressif, qui se comporte en bully vis-ร -vis du reste du monde ?

Trump est tellement instable que, dรฉsormais, la probabilitรฉ quโ€™il annonce un jour ร  la Chine, au Japon ou aux pays du Golfe quโ€™ils ne seront pas remboursรฉs nโ€™est plus considรฉrรฉe comme nulle.

Et justement, la Chine, attaquรฉe frontalement par Trump, a vraisemblablement commencรฉ ร  vendre ses obligations amรฉricaines, comme lโ€™a fait la Russie il y a une dizaine dโ€™annรฉes. Or, quand un acteur vend massivement des obligations, leur prix baisse, et les taux dโ€™emprunt ร  10 ou 30 ans montent mรฉcaniquement.

Enfin, il faut ajouter que beaucoup dโ€™investisseurs avaient spรฉculรฉ sur la dette amรฉricaine via une stratรฉgie appelรฉe basis trade, avec des effets de levier allant jusquโ€™ร  200. Aujourdโ€™hui, ils subissent des appels de marge, cโ€™est-ร -dire quโ€™ils sont obligรฉs de remettre de lโ€™argent sur la table ou de liquider leurs positions ร  perte.

Et surtout, un problรจme structurel รฉmerge : si les taux ne baissent pas rapidement, les ร‰tats-Unis sont exposรฉs. Car le pays accumule un dรฉficit budgรฉtaire gigantesque, une dette publique colossale, quโ€™il faut sans cesse refinancer. Cela signifie emprunter ร  nouveau pour rembourser les รฉchรฉances prรฉcรฉdentes. Si les taux restent รฉlevรฉs, le coรปt du refinancement devient trรจs lourd ร  supporter.

Conclusion : rien ne se dรฉroule comme prรฉvu, ni pour Trump, ni pour les spรฉculateurs de Wall Street.

in reply to Emmanuel Florac

Le monde semble moins impressionnรฉ par les ร‰tats-Unis, et le dollar perd progressivement son statut de valeur refuge. Cette situation inรฉdite introduit une incertitude profonde, et les marchรฉs redoutent lโ€™incertitude.

Mais au-delร  de cette conjoncture, il faut comprendre une chose : dans une รฉconomie fondรฉe sur lโ€™usure, on peut toujours repousser les problรจmes ร  plus tard, via la dette ou lโ€™impression monรฉtaire. Mais cela a un coรปt : rendre le systรจme plus complexe, plus fragile, et faire en sorte que lโ€™ajustement final, sโ€™il arrive, soit dโ€™autant plus brutal. Tant quโ€™on ne sort pas de cette logique, chaque crise risque dโ€™รชtre plus violente que la prรฉcรฉdente.

Researchers discover why plastic sheds dangerous fragments | ScienceDaily


#environment #pollution #health

In a paper published March 28 in Nature Communications, the researchers explain how nanoplastics form. They discovered that the process begins in the soft layers, which grow weaker over time due to environmental degradation and can break off even when the plastic is not under stress. By themselves, these soft pieces break down quickly in the environment. Problems arise when the failure of a soft layer allows hard layers to break off. These crystalline fragments are the nano- and microplastics that can persist in the environment for centuries and cause significant damage in living things, including humans.

Charcoal Making Equipment: The Path to Integration with Circular Economy


Charcoal has long been an essential material, used for cooking, heating, and in various industrial processes. The equipment used for charcoal making has evolved significantly over time, and with the growing emphasis on sustainability, integrating charcoal making equipment with the principles of the circular economy has become not only a necessity but also an opportunity for innovation and economic growth.โ€‹

Traditional charcoal making often involves simple and inefficient equipment, such as earth pits or basic kilns. These methods not only result in low charcoal yields but also cause a great deal of environmental harm. Large amounts of biomass are wasted, and the burning process releases significant quantities of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. In contrast, modern charcoal making equipment is designed with higher efficiency and environmental protection in mind. Advanced retorts, continuous - feed kilns, and other state - of - the - art machines have emerged, offering better control over the charcoal - making process and reducing waste generation.โ€‹

The integration of charcoal making equipment with the circular economy can be achieved through several key paths. Firstly, in terms of raw material utilization, circular economy principles encourage the use of waste and by - products as feedstocks for charcoal production. For example, sawdust, wood chips, and agricultural residues like coconut shells and rice husks, which are often considered waste in other industries, can be effectively processed into high - quality charcoal using appropriate equipment. Modern charcoal making machines are designed to handle a variety of raw materials, enabling the transformation of these waste resources into valuable charcoal products. This not only reduces the pressure on primary forest resources but also provides a sustainable solution for waste management.โ€‹

Secondly, energy recovery is a crucial aspect of the circular economy in charcoal production. Advanced charcoal making equipment can be designed to capture and utilize the heat and gases generated during the charcoal - making process. For instance, the pyrolysis gases produced during charcoal production can be collected and used as a source of energy to power the equipment itself or to generate electricity. Some modern kilns are equipped with heat exchangers that recover the waste heat, which can then be used for drying raw materials or for other heating applications. By maximizing energy recovery, the overall energy efficiency of the charcoal production process is improved, reducing the reliance on external energy sources and minimizing the environmental impact.โ€‹

In addition, the maintenance and recycling of charcoal making equipment also play an important role in the circular economy. High - quality equipment is built to last, with modular designs that allow for easy repair and replacement of parts. When the equipment reaches the end of its service life, its components can be recycled and reused in the manufacturing of new equipment or other products. This reduces the consumption of new raw materials and minimizes waste sent to landfills. Equipment manufacturers are increasingly focusing on developing more sustainable designs, using recyclable materials and implementing strategies for end - of - life product management.โ€‹

Furthermore, the circular economy approach also promotes the development of a closed - loop system in the charcoal industry. Charcoal producers can collaborate with other industries to create a more comprehensive value chain. For example, the ash produced after charcoal combustion can be used as a soil amendment in agriculture, enriching the soil with minerals. Charcoal - related by - products can also find applications in the chemical industry, such as in the production of activated carbon for water purification. By establishing these interconnected relationships, the entire charcoal production and consumption cycle becomes more sustainable, with minimal waste and maximum utilization of resources.โ€‹

In conclusion, the integration of charcoal making equipment with the circular economy offers a win - win solution for both the environment and the economy. Through efficient raw material use, energy recovery, equipment recycling, and the creation of a closed - loop system, the charcoal industry can transform from a traditional, resource - intensive sector into a sustainable and innovative one. As more attention is paid to sustainable development, the continuous improvement and application of charcoal making equipment in line with circular economy principles will undoubtedly drive the industry towards a greener and more prosperous future.โ€‹

#Welt! Bist du noch da?

#Blรผten


Nach dem ich gestern Morgen auf meiner #Windschutzscheibe 23 #Regentropfen zรคhlen konnte, habe ich mich #Nachmittags noch fรผr eine kleine Runde auf's #Rad geschwungen. Das hat sich in jeder Hinsicht gelohnt:
gesundheitlich, optisch und olfaktorisch

Mir ist auch aufgefallen, dass es bei uns, gefรผhlt, sehr viel mehr #Falter gibt, als in den letzten #Jahren. Woher rรผhrt dies?
Milde #Winter?

Jetzt einen #Kaffee und dann losradeln bei entspannten +3ยฐC
