![]() With a BIS Tier 1 ratio of 13.8% under Basel II (year-end 2007: 12.9% under Basel I), the Julius Baer Group continues to enjoy a very solid financial base. ![]() Total equity rose by CHF 160 million to CHF 6.6 billion, and the BIS Tier 1 capital by CHF 313 million to CHF 2.3 billion. Total assets were down by CHF 3.3 billion at CHF 43.6 billion at the end of June 2008, mainly driven by the lower level of client deposits and structured products volume as compared to the end of 2007. As part of the current share buyback programme (2008-2010) of up to CHF 2 billion, 1,565,000 shares in the total amount of CHF 112.4 million had been repurchased as of 22 July 2008. Following share buyback programmes, EPS increased by 5% to CHF 2.45. After deduction of taxes amounting to CHF 143 million, representing a tax rate of 22%, net profit reached CHF 510 million*, just 2% down from H1 2007. Profit before taxes declined by 3% to CHF 653 million. All in all, the cost/income ratio increased slightly to 58.5% after 57.5% in the first half of 2007. General expenses, including valuation adjustments, provisions and losses, remained unchanged at CHF 254 million, even with the continued business expansion of Bank Julius Baer. Personnel expenses were down 2% at CHF 673 million as the impact of the 10% year-on-year staff increase, from 3,869 to 4,272, was offset by lower performance-related compensation accruals and a positive currency impact. Operating expenses at CHF 949 million were slightly lower than last year (CHF 960 million), aided by a positive currency impact and despite continued investments in growth. Net trading income increased by 28% to CHF 178 million, primarily driven by foreign exchange trading. Net interest income rose by CHF 53 million or 32% to CHF 221 million following the increased lending to private clients, higher deposits as well as higher margins. As a result of the decreased asset levels and subdued client activity, net fee and commission income declined by 9% to CHF 1,195 million. ![]() Operating income was 2% lower at CHF 1,602 million compared to the first half of 2007. In addition, assets under custodyincreased by 9% to CHF 75 billion. Net new money totalling CHF 10 billion was more than offset by the negative market performance of CHF 32 billion and a negative currency impact of CHF 19 billion. de Gier, Group CEO.īalancing growth and profitability in a challenging market environmentĪssets under management of the Julius Baer Group amounted to CHF 364 billion on 30 June 2008, down 10% from CHF 405 billion at the end of 2007. Whilst the weak equity and debt markets as well as the strong Swiss franc have reduced our asset base, with an impact on our profits, Bank Julius Baer has benefited from our pure-play wealth management strategy, as evidenced by the significant net new money inflows the Bank has achieved," sums up Johannes A. "The Julius Baer Group has managed to strike the right balance between stepping up its investment in the future, given the extraordinarily favourable circumstances for growing Bank Julius Baer's global franchise, and protecting the Group's profitability.

Ruiz said he’d like to fight Wilder next and Wilder said he was game if he came out with a win. “Boxing is always full of surprises.”įormer WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder was ringside and climbed into the ring after the fight. “Everybody who said 'King Kong' is old, well, I gave you a war tonight,” Ortiz said. Luis Ortiz fight results, highlights: Ruiz drops Ortiz three times en route to decision win Ruiz put on a strong showing in Los Angeles on. He won seven rounds on Villareal’s card and six on the cards of Hernandez and Young, but the three points he lost for the knockdowns were the difference. Ortiz scored points with his jabs and had he been able to stay on his feet, he would have gotten a majority draw. ![]() It was an unexpectedly tactical fight in which neither man just opted to let the hands go and see how it went. The heavyweights, though, couldn’t live up to that kind of action in the main event. GOOD LORD! Isaac Cruz KOs Ramirez in the 2nd round!! /IeR28YaX4u The first three bouts on the pay-per-view undercard were sensational, capped by an amazing knockout by Isaac Cruz, who brutalized Eduardo Ramirez and stopped him at 2:27 of the second. “It was a great fight, a hell of a fight, and what the fans came to see,” Ruiz said. He tried to use his jab to set up a 1-2 but Ruiz moved laterally well and didn’t give him any openings. ![]() Ortiz is known as a sharp puncher, but at 43 and being pressured all night by Ruiz, he had to fight a calculated style. Ortiz flicked his jab most of the night but really never took his powerful left out of the holster until the 12th round, when he knew he needed to make something happen. Ortiz was the first left-hander that Ruiz fought as a professional and he fought cautiously and didn’t wade recklessly in. “I worked real hard for this because I know he’s a warrior.” “Everybody was doubting me and thought I was going to get my ass knocked out,” Ruiz said. But according to CompuBox, Ortiz only landed 18 percent, while Ruiz connected on 26 percent. They combined to land 154 punches, with Ortiz having a 78-76 edge in total shots. It wasn’t, though, the slugfest that most expected. Andy Ruiz answers back with a BIG knock down! #RuizOrtiz /XZrwZBwG1V Both phones are 5.44 inches tall by 2.64 inches wide, and both feature a 4.7-inch display.

Winner: Apple iPhone 6S Design and durability ![]() Both charge via the Lightning port and take a similar length of time to juice up.

The flavor has been available for purchase in convenience stores for over 15 years now! Despite its long run on store shelves, many people remain unsure of what exactly the drink contains and whether or not it has caffeine. It quickly became a favorite among Dew fans, and is still around today. Mtn Dew Baja Blast is a tropical lime flavored Mountain Dew released in 2004. Is Mountain Dew Baja Blast bad for you?.Is Baja Blast available outside the US?.The ingredients used in Mountain Dew Baja Blast are.What are the effects of drinking Baja Blast?.Does Baja Blast have any health benefits?.Is Baja Blast healthier than regular Mountain Dew?.How much caffeine is in a can of Baja Blast?.I’ll look forward to the next time I see Regular Baja Blast on the shelf. As for me, I’ll very slowly make my way through this 12-pack and that’ll be it. However, if you’re not as sensitive to the flavor of aspartame, or maybe you simply like the flavor (which is certainly fine), or if you drink soda more often and still want to cut down on your sugar in your diet, maybe give this one a try. So, for me, I’ll definitely stick to regular Dews. Like, if I only ate chocolate cake once a month, I’d want it to be the best chocolate cake I could find. However, it’s like, if I’m already limiting myself down that much, I want to have the real thing. Now, any doctors out there would obviously say, “You shouldn’t drink any at all! It’s basically poison for you!” and they’re right. As such, going for Regular versus Unleaded is ok in my mind. I do my best to limit myself to 1 can on Friday and Saturday morning. Look, overall, I try to not drink a lot of soda. And, as it is wont to do, it sticks around for a bit after I finish the sip of soda. That lime flavor is still there, sort of, but at least for me, the aspartame damn-near drowns it out. It almost overrides the regular flavor of the soda. Just that artificial-overly-sweet flavor. Though there’s maybe a bit of aspartame scent instead of high-fructose corn syrup scent. It smells certainly just like Baja Blast. However, looking back at the photo from that review, this is pretty spot-on. Now, originally, I thought this looked a little more pale than the original Baja Blast. Will this basically ruin one of my favorite sodas? Let’s find out. But, I also remember the very first Mountain Dew Zero review and just how much aspartame aftertaste there was with it. It’s lime flavored, and limes are one of my favorite citrus (I prefer limeade to lemonade, for example). Now, Baja Blast is one of my favorite flavors of Dew, just below Code Red at the top. Also, I did my grocery shopping early in the morning and the Taco Bell wasn’t open yet, so I couldn’t just stop in for a cupful and I didn’t want to make an extra trip out just to get it. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any of the regular version on the shelf, as I’d’ve preferred to do a side-by-side flavor comparison for this review. ![]() Baja Blast is usually exclusive to Taco Bell, but occasionally, PepsiCo will give us bottles and cans (clap your hands. It’s Baja Blast, also affectionately known by me and some of my friends as Pool Water for its resemblance to such. ![]() Though, unlike the last couple, this is a flavor I know well. ![]() Well, a week ago, I was doing my now-once-a-month grocery shopping and happened to see a couple 12-packs of a new Mountain Dew Zero variety. I’ll just be at the grocery store, looking for other stuff, but I always make a trek down the soda isle, just in case. It’s always interesting when I come across these. And I’m back with another Mountain Dew review. Bungie says future seasons may introduce other new Iron Banner mode variations, but none of those will pop up this season. Eruption will follow during Week 6 (which is now just two weeks away-this first event was delayed due to the invisible player bug), while Fortress will be available during Week 9. Now Playing: Destiny 2: Lightfall Video Review Iron Banner game modeįor this first of three Iron Banner events during Season of Defiance, the game mode is Iron Banner Control. A visual change that players might notice is that Iron Banner replaced control points with glowing “fire pits.” This is fairly fitting given how braziers have been a running theme for the Iron Lords and the old Rise of Iron expansion.By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's But it’s not just limited to a visual change. Now, when your opponent gets all three control points - also known as a “power play” - all zones will be locked down for 20 seconds. That lockdown might not seem like a big deal but, for the Destiny 2 aficionado, it’s a death sentence. The problem is that the opposing team getting a power play means bonus points for every Guardian defeated. Those 20 seconds might as well become your bane, given how a match can become lopsided quickly. Imagine the enemy team just saving up all their supers and nuking everyone they come across, getting an insurmountable lead in the process. All the while, as those 20 seconds stretch to an eternity, you have nothing left to do other than eating a one-shot kill or hiding. In the past, when the opposing team had a power play, there was no lockdown to speak of. Power plays usually lasted but a few scant seconds since a random player might spawn close to an undefended point. They can easily cap it which removes the power play advantage instantaneously. ![]() The 20-second lockdown gives players some leeway to get creative. For instance, some Destiny 2 players have suggested to simply go ahead and suicide with your character. Yes, that’s right! It might sound laughable until you come to a realization that the best way to “win” is to “lose” intentionally. By jumping off to your death, you can deny the enemy team their bonus points from kills. Others have suggested just trying to stay hidden the entire time, but that’s easier said than done. Another player mentioned that you can eke out a win just by “getting farmed while spawn camped” while you’re ahead in points. This means that even though the enemy team will make a comeback, you can deny them the power play lockdown. ![]() These suggestions don’t necessarily solve the problem. The solutions would be to improve your style of play and find a decent team. That means you’re probably going to be on the receiving end of a pub-stomp if you’re solo queued. Likewise, if you’re uncoordinated, that will be a major detriment when an enemy sneaks up on your point. That’s also why others have surmised that it would be better to just award points quickly for a power play rather than having a zone lockdown. At the very least, it wouldn’t restrict the flow of the match and players will still have a chance to counter effectively.ĭestiny 2 has had a ton of issues with its Crucible/PvP aspect, and this is only one that’s part of a long list. #IMPORTANT SIDENOTES AND BUGS DESTINY IRON BANNER UPDATE#Īfter all, this is the very same game where a matchmaking bug actually ended up making Quickplay more fun. It’s just a shame that they introduced this new mechanic in this latest update given that it’s the last time Iron Banner is around for Year 1. We can only hope that Bungie comes up with better mechanics for Iron Banner once Forsaken rolls around. With Gambit becoming a major feature with its PvPvE mix, the last thing players would want to have is something that kills the fun. And hey, personally, as someone with a measly 1.55 efficiency, I definitely would not want a mechanic that forces a “hide, die, or suicide” scenario on a whim.Feeding Frenzy/Kill Clip – Great for PvP or PvE, and this thing shreds normally, so Kill Clip on it is even more extreme. Subsistence or Feeding Frenzy or Moving Target/Rangefinder – As you can see I only have a Rangefinder one, not the ideal roll I want, but if I got to pick the other perk, it would be one of those. Either more rounds with Subsistence, faster reload with FF or more stickiness with Moving Target. Rangefinder makes you able to win duels at a very solid range. Hipfire Grip/Rangefinder –I think this only really works on PC as lol hipfiring on console, come on. #IMPORTANT SIDENOTES AND BUGS DESTINY IRON BANNER PC#. ![]() #IMPORTANT SIDENOTES AND BUGS DESTINY IRON BANNER UPDATE#. ![]() Models without a display-generally not our preference-require you to use a phone or computer to set up the camera and to view video footage. Easy-to-read display: Most dash cams have a display that’s 1½ to 3½ inches diagonal displays that are at least 2 inches make it easier for you to adjust settings on the fly and to preview footage.We also preferred models with buttons we could identify in the dark, as well as intuitive menus and a functional companion app. Easy-to-use controls: We looked for models with clearly labeled, easily reachable controls (especially the video-lock button).Sufficient field of view: We required each model to have a field of view (FOV) in the range of 140 to 160 degrees-wide enough to take in a multi-lane highway or a large intersection without creating a wide-angle effect that makes cars in front look farther away and details harder to see.To draw power when the car isn’t running, a dash cam usually needs to be hardwired to the car’s fuse box, connected to an external battery, or plugged into the vehicle’s OBD-II diagnostic port. 24-hour parked-car monitoring: We required each model to be capable of recording impacts or movement around your car, any time of day or night, whether you’re in it or not.Night vision: We made night vision a requirement for a dash cam to be considered for testing since car crashes and other incidents you may want to document can occur at any time of day or night (as well as in dark environments such as highway tunnels).We preferred models with 2160p (4K/UHD) or higher resolution, since their footage is often notably sharper than that of 1080p models, and we didn’t consider anything under 1080p. At least 1080p resolution: A dash cam’s video-whether captured in light or dark conditions-has to be sharp and distinct enough that you, a lawyer, your insurance company, or a member of law enforcement can read license plates and see other details clearly.The N4 also lacks built-in GPS tracking, but you can easily add that by buying a GPS mount ($20 at this writing) from Vantrue. But we think most people wouldn’t miss that feature, as it’s still fairly convenient to view footage on the camera itself or with a microSD card reader. Unlike some of our other picks, the N4 lacks app connectivity for you to view and download video remotely. ![]() And although it isn’t as well suited for sub-freezing temperatures as our other picks, it is designed to work even in extremely hot climates such as in the American South and Southwest. It has an intuitive menu, and its control buttons are clearly marked and readily accessible. It’s compact (a little smaller than most point-and-shoot cameras) and relatively unobtrusive on a windshield, and its 3-inch screen is bright and easy to read. In addition to a front-facing camera, it has interior and rear cameras, so it documents your car’s movements (and your surroundings) from three different perspectives. The Vantrue N4 is packed with premium features such as 2160p (4K/UHD) resolution in its main camera, night vision, and 24-hour parked-car monitoring to catch hit-and-run perpetrators, yet it costs half as much as some comparable models.

Ward and Ephron were among several writers hired to re-write the script into a funnier film, with Ephron eventually being promoted to director once Nick Castle departed over disagreeing with her comedic approach. Foster strongly believed in the film's potential but struggled to get it made by TriStar Pictures for several years, finding its emotional script promising but unsophisticated. Arch submitted his script to producer Gary Foster in 1990. ![]() Several studios rejected his script, deterred by the idea that its main couple does not meet for nearly the entire film. Inspired by the romance film An Affair to Remember (1957), Sleepless in Seattle was conceived as a romantic drama by Arch in 1989. ![]() In addition to Bill Pullman, Ross Malinger, and Rob Reiner, the film features an ensemble supporting cast also consisting of Rosie O'Donnell, Gaby Hoffmann, Victor Garber, Rita Wilson, Barbara Garrick, and Carey Lowell. Starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, the film follows a journalist (Ryan) who, despite being newly engaged, becomes enamored with a recently widowed architect (Hanks), when the latter's son calls in to a talk radio program requesting a new partner for his grieving father. So play the trailer below then add the film to your Netflix Queue, then sit back & enjoy the great music in Nora Ephron’s Sleepless in Seattle.Sleepless in Seattle is a 1993 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Nora Ephron, from a screenplay she wrote with David S. Much of Sleepless’ soundtrack is a stream of covers of great songs of yesteryear, including excellent versions of: When I Fall in Love by Celine Dion & Clive Griffin As Time Goes By by Jimmy Durante Bye Bye Blackbird by Joe Cocker Over the Rainbow by Ray Charles and Makin’ Whoopee by Dr. The first soundtrack was a 78 RPM record package of the music of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. A soundtrack accompanies the film for independent or packaged sale, and consists of some or all of the music on it. A soundtrack differs from a film score in that the score is original music written for the film & set in the background to accompany the action & set the mood. Sleepless in Seattle was also nominated for Best Original Song: Marc Shaiman & Ramsey McLean’s A Wink and a Smile, sung by Harry Connick, Jr. Though the characters names are changed, the story is about Ephron & Bernstein. Silkwood stars Meryl Streep, who pseudo-played Ephron in her ’86 autobiographical film, Heartburn, about the demise of her marriage to Carl Bernstein (Jack Nicholson). Rosie O’Donnell is excellent as Annie’s boss, Becky.Įphron, who co-wrote the Oscar-nominated Original Screenplay, has a string of great films which she directed and/or wrote before she contracted leukemia & died of pneumonia in 2012 at 71, including 2 additional Original Screenplay Oscar nominations: She shared the nomination with Alice Arlen for Silkwood in 1984 at the 56 th Academy Awards and 6 years later for When Harry Met Sally….
