Recently, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) conducted a highly anticipated auction of its 1-year Treasury Bills (T-Bills). While the results were mixed, with a slightly disappointing yield of 3.45%, a deeper analysis reveals interesting dynamics at play.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b>The Auction Dynamics:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">The MAS offered a modest sum of 4.5 billion in 1-year T-Bills, yet the demand far exceeded expectations, with a whopping 14.4 billion applied. The Bid-to-Cover Ratio, a metric indicating the demand relative to the amount available, stood at an impressive 3.19. This suggests a robust appetite among investors, with more than three times the bids submitted compared to the available T-Bills.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b>The Disappointing Yield:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Despite the strong demand, the final auction result yielded 3.45%, a figure that some may deem slightly disappointing. The lower-than-expected yield can be attributed to the intense competition among investors bidding for the limited T-Bills available. When demand outstrips supply, yields tend to decrease, reflecting the inverse relationship between bond prices and yields.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b>Comparing Against Fixed Deposits:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">While the yield may have fallen short of some expectations, it's essential to put the results into context. The 3.45% yield from the MAS 1-year T-Bill auction may seem modest, but it surpasses the 1-year SGD fixed deposit rates offered to retail investors, particularly those with smaller investment amounts.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This raises an interesting point for retail investors looking for stable returns on their investments. Despite the slightly lower yield than anticipated, the MAS T-Bill still provides a more attractive option compared to traditional fixed deposits, especially in a low-interest-rate environment.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b>Investment Implications:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">For institutional investors, the MAS 1-year T-Bill auction highlights the need for strategic planning and careful consideration of market dynamics. The strong demand and competitive bidding may signal a broader trend of investors seeking safe-haven assets amid economic uncertainties.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Retail investors, on the other hand, may find the T-Bill appealing, given its relatively attractive yield compared to other low-risk options.

While the auction saw a small dip in the cut-off yield from 3.74% p.a. to 3.7% p.a., the larger story might lie in the Fed's anticipated maneuvers.</div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>The Fed's Shadow on Local Yields:</b></h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Market sentiment widely expects the Fed to hold interest rates steady in the short term, possibly until the second quarter of 2024. Beyond that, however, expectations shift: many anticipate rate cuts, possibly starting around mid-year. This anticipation could explain the slight softening in Singapore's yields, as local rates often track global trends.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Locking in Stability with MAS 12-Month T-Bills:</b></h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgifGc5NPhWhrIpBq3vnsG4vQoisGhDs3CSrpll6XP0J-lVAxuloxk6EBX9g1FCr-Ym-iBWx3MsyRDjE994IxkwQfer1O9VO0fO0aGxBt34qhIRIvVZvsLZtC7X9EX0_n-ZIbnzmosXlYJth3ANiD8ZDk_jcUadASQ4CcxpYGaOXZqrHA-T8YyBorQdJKIo" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="539" data-original-width="858" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgifGc5NPhWhrIpBq3vnsG4vQoisGhDs3CSrpll6XP0J-lVAxuloxk6EBX9g1FCr-Ym-iBWx3MsyRDjE994IxkwQfer1O9VO0fO0aGxBt34qhIRIvVZvsLZtC7X9EX0_n-ZIbnzmosXlYJth3ANiD8ZDk_jcUadASQ4CcxpYGaOXZqrHA-T8YyBorQdJKIo=s16000" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">For risk-averse investors seeking secure returns, this presents an interesting opportunity. While the current 6-month T-bill yield offers a decent near-term option, locking in the expected stability of around 4% through the next 12-month T-bill (auction date 25th Jan 2024) could be a shrewd move. Consider the following:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Potential Upside</b>: If the Fed cuts rates as predicted, and Singapore follows suit, you'll have locked in a higher return at this stage.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Downside Protection</b>: Even if rates remain steady, you'll still secure a competitive return in a potentially volatile market.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Peace of Mind</b>: The low-risk nature of T-bills provides valuable safety and peace of mind in uncertain times.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Beyond the Numbers</b>:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Of course, individual circumstances and risk tolerance are crucial factors. Before diving into 12-month T-bills, consider:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Your investment horizon</b>: If you need access to your funds sooner, the 6-month option might be more suitable.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Market fluctuations</b>: While the Fed's expected trajectory plays a role, unforeseen events can still impact rates.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Alternative options</b>: Compare T-bills with other low-risk options like Singapore Savings Bonds or short-term fixed deposits.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A Stable Anchor in Uncertain Waters:</h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The MAS 6-month T-bill auction results indicate a cautious optimism in Singapore's financial landscape. For investors seeking security and potentially benefiting from future rate cuts, the 12-month T-bill presents a compelling option. Remember, careful analysis and understanding your own needs are key to navigating these waters successfully.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="color: red;">Disclaimer</span></b>: This blog post is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as financial advice.

This, in turn, could delay or lessen the expected increase in T-bill yields in Singapore.</span></div><div><span style="color: #1f1f1f; font-family: Google Sans, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;">The MAS might also be less inclined to implement further tightening measures if inflation cools and economic growth moderates.</span></div><div><span style="color: #1f1f1f; font-family: Google Sans, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #1f1f1f; font-family: Google Sans, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;"><b>2.

This landmark decision sent shockwaves through the financial world, with Bitcoin soaring and investors scrambling to get a piece of the action.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>From Skepticism to Celebration:</b></p><p><br /></p><p>For years, the SEC resisted approving Bitcoin ETFs, citing concerns about market manipulation and the lack of adequate regulation in the cryptocurrency space. But with Bitcoin maturing and institutional interest soaring, the tide began to turn. Several applications for spot Bitcoin ETFs piled up on the SEC's desk, each vying to be the first to offer investors direct exposure to the world's leading cryptocurrency within a familiar, regulated framework.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, on this historic day, the wait ended. The SEC approved 11 Bitcoin ETFs, sending Bitcoin into a euphoric rally. The price, which had been hovering around S$61,496.48 SGD as of yesterday, surged in the following hours, reaching an impressive peak of close to S$65k at its zenith. This historic climb not only marked a watershed moment for Bitcoin but also solidified its position as a legitimate asset class in the eyes of many traditional investors.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhcppxhGar-o3eyX_dgX5OK2E5SuY3VljV0xYJgFCfgGpoh9ONoCF-i_rx_Pit0ttrLQrEMfMpCfDmLQ1mGajCEdXowNeC4YRDUFtJxGtcbgUf5uySVSyCBaEaKEySqMpibsG5LC6v9-Ckadvuxdu4I2W_IDKL5SiztBXfUz8haH5rOYBP1aV05apCnqXlb" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="409" data-original-width="665" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhcppxhGar-o3eyX_dgX5OK2E5SuY3VljV0xYJgFCfgGpoh9ONoCF-i_rx_Pit0ttrLQrEMfMpCfDmLQ1mGajCEdXowNeC4YRDUFtJxGtcbgUf5uySVSyCBaEaKEySqMpibsG5LC6v9-Ckadvuxdu4I2W_IDKL5SiztBXfUz8haH5rOYBP1aV05apCnqXlb=s16000" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p><b>Rally or False Dawn?</b></p><p><br /></p><p>While the excitement surrounding the ETF approval is palpable, some experts caution against blind optimism. The long-term impact on Bitcoin's price remains to be seen, and market volatility is expected in the coming months. Factors like regulatory scrutiny, global economic conditions, and investor sentiment will all play a role in determining the course of the rally.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, the ETF approval undeniably removes a significant hurdle for Bitcoin's broader adoption. Traditional financial institutions and risk-averse investors, previously hesitant to enter the crypto market directly, can now gain exposure through regulated products. This increased access is likely to fuel institutional investment and potentially drive further price appreciation down the line.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>A New Chapter Begins:</b></p><p><br /></p><p>The SEC's green light for Bitcoin ETFs marks a new chapter for the leading cryptocurrency. It signifies a growing acceptance of Bitcoin by the financial establishment and paves the way for increased mainstream adoption. While the immediate future may be uncertain, the approval stands as a testament to Bitcoin's resilience and its potential to revolutionize the financial landscape.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is just the beginning of Bitcoin's journey with ETFs. As the market matures and regulations evolve, the impact of this decision will become clearer. One thing is certain: the SEC's approval has opened doors for Bitcoin's future, and the world is watching with bated breath to see where the road leads.</p><p><br /></p><p>#BitcoinETF #SECApproves #CryptoNews #BitcoinRally #InvestmentNews #FinanceNews #FinTech #Blockchain #BitcoinETFs, #SECApproval, #CryptoMarket, #BitcoinRally, #FinancialRevolution, #InstitutionalInvestment, #MarketAnalysis, #BitcoinNews, #RegulatoryApproval, #CryptoFinance, #BitcoinAdoption, #FinancialLandmark, #InvestmentOpportunity, #BlockchainFuture, #BitcoinJourney, #SECDecision, #MarketVolatility, #CryptoInvesting, #FinancialInnovation, #BitcoinEconomy, #CryptoRegulation, #ETFImpact, #BitcoinFuture, #InvestmentOutlook, #FinancialInstitutions, #CryptoTrends, #BitcoinUpdate</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261231975142442138.post-8894488511071188842024-01-11T08:37:00.000-08:002024-01-11T08:37:33.411-08:00Singapore T-bill Auction on the Horizon: Navigating Yields and Uncertainty<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
When I was pregnant with my first child, I had big ideas. I wanted to give my children the world. Like most new parents, I had the best of intentions.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
Every generation wants to give their children more than they had themselves. My intention was no different—I wanted to give my children more. More love. More protection. More opportunities. More toys.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
More, more, more.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.3125em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.37931em; margin: 0px; padding: 0.625em 0px 0.3125em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">This desire for </strong>‘<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">more</strong>’<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"> was rooted in love.</strong></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
After I had children and they began to grow, there was a shift. This desire for more became rooted in fear.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
If I didn’t play with them enough, would they be happy? If I didn’t stand at least two foot from them at all times on the playground, would they fall? If I didn’t land a spot in a top preschool, would their education be impacted?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
In the words of <a href="http://designformankind.com/" rel="external" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #9b72c9; text-decoration-line: none;">Erin Loechner</a>, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“No one ever told me how much fear is hidden in love.”</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
All this fear, camouflaged as love, quickly started to take a toll on me. Trying to be everything and do everything for my children left me depleted.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.3125em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.37931em; margin: 0px; padding: 0.625em 0px 0.3125em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">My desire to give my children more left me feeling less.</strong></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
Less energy. Less joy. Less calm.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
Then I found Minimalism.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
Minimalism is more than just getting rid of all your stuff (although <a href="http://www.simplefamilies.com/why-i-got-rid-of-my-wardrobe-capsule-small-wardrobe/" rel="external" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #9b72c9; text-decoration-line: none;">I am on that bandwagon too</a>.) It’s about filtering out the noise to focus your energy on what’s important.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.3125em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.37931em; margin: 0px; padding: 0.625em 0px 0.3125em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Families of today have </strong>‘<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">noisy</strong>’<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"> lives.</strong></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
I know this in my personal life, but also in my professional life. I have a Ph.D. in Child Development with a specialty in Family Wellness. I work with families to find calm amongst the noise.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
In families, the calm lies in balancing the needs of each individual while simultaneously tightening the strings that hold them all together.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
Sounds tricky, right?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
Fortunately, minimalism has a secret formula for parents—Less is More.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.3125em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.37931em; margin: 0px; padding: 0.625em 0px 0.3125em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Here are some lessons I’ve learned on my journey toward a simpler family life.</strong></h2>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.3125em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.37931em; margin: 0px; padding: 0.625em 0px 0.3125em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">1. Hover less and your children will live more.</strong></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
We spend so much time protecting our children, we forget to let them live. When we hover over them and perseverate over safety, our fears can undermine a child’s confidence. These fears rob them of their independence. Instead of hovering, let’s instill a sense of responsibility and natural curiosity for the world.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
Allow your children to <a href="https://nosidebar.com/no-regrets/" rel="external" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #9b72c9; text-decoration-line: none;">live life to the fullest</a>. Even if that means climbing to the top of the jungle gym without a spotter.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.3125em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.37931em; margin: 0px; padding: 0.625em 0px 0.3125em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">2. Entertain less and your children will innovate more.</strong></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
In many ways, Pinterest is a trap. The abundance of art, craft, and activity ideas that abound leave us feeling as though we need to do more to entertain our kids. Wouldn’t it be easy if we could just flip a switch and provide unlimited entertainment for our kids?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
Oh wait, we can. It’s called <a href="https://nosidebar.com/screen-time/" rel="external" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #9b72c9; text-decoration-line: none;">screen time</a>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
When we provide endless varieties of entertainment for our children, we leave them with very little opportunity to create and explore new ideas on their own.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
So hear me out—<a href="http://www.simplefamilies.com/why-i-dont-do-pinterest-worthy-activities-with-my-kids/" rel="external" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #9b72c9; text-decoration-line: none;">follow my lead and skip the Pinterest activities</a>. Then cut back on the screen time. Let kids be bored. Give them space. The innovation that results will astound you.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.3125em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.37931em; margin: 0px; padding: 0.625em 0px 0.3125em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">3. Schedule less and your children will rest more.</strong></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
As humans, we need to rest our bodies and minds. This is particularly true of small bodies that are growing and maturing rapidly. Research show us that <a href="http://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2000/12/anxiety.aspx" rel="external" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #9b72c9; text-decoration-line: none;">childhood anxiety is a rising epidemic</a> in this generation. A child who grows up with anxiety is significantly <a href="https://bbrfoundation.org/brain-matters-discoveries/landmark-study-shows-childhood-anxiety-may-transition-to-mental-illness-in" rel="external" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #9b72c9; text-decoration-line: none;">more likely to be plagued</a> with mental health challenges throughout their adult years.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
Do you know what our children need? <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Rest.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
Do you know what we need? <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Rest.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
Stop making rest a luxury—make rest a priority. The mental and physical health of your family depends on it.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.3125em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.37931em; margin: 0px; padding: 0.625em 0px 0.3125em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">4. Referee less and your children will problem solve more.</strong></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">
As parents, we wear many hats. One hat we need to hang up is that of the referee. Parents have the tendency to jump in and solve any disputes and challenges that children come across. It’s easier to be the referee than watch two kids awkwardly settle their own disagreement. It’s easier to jump in and help than wait ten minutes for a kid to fumble through shoe tying.</div>

After you hang up that hat, get comfortable sitting on the sidelines in silence. Kids need a lot of practice to learn how to problem solve—so let’s give them many chances to do it for themselves.</div>

Research shows that clutter is associated with higher levels of stress in families. Have you yelled at your kids to clean up their rooms recently? If your home has less inside, it is easier to clean up. It is easier to take good care of fewer things.</div>

You know what doesn’t have a long-term impact on a child happiness? The latest hit toy. Buy your children less, and as a result, they will be able to better filter out the noise and focus on the important things.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: freight-text-pro, serif; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.55556em; padding-bottom: 0.88889em;">

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
When our children are going through distress, they send out warning signs through their behaviour, but do we know what to watch for? Are we catching the signals for help being sent out?</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Being familiar with these distress signs will help us identify problems early. If these signs are present in combination, or in more extreme or long-lasting forms, it may be an indication that your child is experiencing significant distress. If in doubt, please seek help and advice from your child's School Counsellor or mental health professionals. If you suspect your child is at risk of suicide, get help immediately from SOS 1800 221 4444. <br />

Thirteen Reasons Why (13RW) is a fictional story released on Netflix surrounding the traumatic events recounted by a high school student who chose to end her life by suicide. The sinister but unverified Blue Whale game allegedly incites teenage players to carry out tasks involving self-harm in a 50-day period and culminates in a final task to commit suicide in order to win the game.</div>

While it is difficult to verify if suicide deaths are caused by online games, such games with dark themes related to self-harm or suicide are still of concern.</div>

Viral content about self-harm or suicide is worrying and raises important questions about media influence and the power of social media. As parents, we play a very critical protective role that can minimise the negative effects of such exposure.</div>
<ol style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px;">
<li>Teach our children media literacy to discern between fake and real events</li>
<li>Help our children discern and avoid online gaming or social communities that could present risks of suicide contagion</li>
<li>Take stock of the media influences that our children are exposed to</li>
<li>Engage in conversation with our children to find out what they have been watching or playing online</li>
<li>Encourage our children to post sensitively on social media so that they do not contribute to rumours or reports that sensationalise suicide</li>
</ol>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
As we talk to our children, we need not be hyper-vigilant or transfer our anxiety to them, but instead communicate our concern for their well-being and a commitment to support them through any struggles they may be facing. Together, we can help them build their resilience to overcome challenges without resorting to suicide or maladaptive behaviour.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Here are some pointers on how to talk about issues related to anxiety, distress and suicide.</div>
<h2 style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans-semibold; font-weight: normal; margin: 0.83em 0px;">
1. First, know the warning signs</h2>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
When our children are going through distress, they send out warning signs through their behaviour. But are we catching the signals for help being sent out? Look out for these signs and read more about <a href="https://www.schoolbag.sg/story/watching-for-signs-of-distress-in-children" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #e9292a; outline: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">distress signs and behaviour</a>.</div>
<ol style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px;">
<li><span style="font-weight: 700;">D</span>isplaying out-of character behaviour</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 700;">I</span>njuries that are unexplained</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 700;">S</span>udden changes in appearance, interests or habits</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 700;">T</span>emperamental changes</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 700;">R</span>ebellious/ aggressive behaviour</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 700;">E</span>xtended absence/ deliberate social withdrawal</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 700;">S</span>truggling to pay attention/ increased lethargy</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 700;">S</span>ending/ posting moody or morbid messages (including expressions of death)</li>
</ol>
<h2 style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans-semibold; font-weight: normal; margin: 0.83em 0px;">
2. Talk about your child’s thoughts and feelings</h2>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Start with some questions to show concern for your child’s well-being, such as, “I noticed that you…. Is there anything you would like to share?” or “Is there something troubling you?”</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Take your child’s comments seriously. Refrain from minimising what they are feeling or telling them that they should not feel negative about something. That could pose a barrier for them to open up further. Instead, be open and empathetic by showing that you are trying to understand what they are thinking and feeling. Don’t judge them or their thoughts. Listen, and be caring and kind.</div>
<h2 style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans-semibold; font-weight: normal; margin: 0.83em 0px;">
3. Discuss what your child has seen or heard</h2>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
If your child shares that he/she has watched a movie or played a game that has themes of self-harm or suicide, discuss his/her thoughts and feelings. Share that while people may identify with the characters in a movie or story, there are many healthy ways to cope with the issues faced and acting on suicidal thoughts is not one of them. Most people who have distressful experiences will reach out to someone, talk to others, and seek help. They can also find other positive ways of coping such as exercising, finding ways to de-stress and doing breathing exercises.<br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5;"><a href="https://www.jedfoundation.org/13-reasons-why-talking-points/" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #e9292a; line-height: 1.5; outline: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;"><br />If your child has watched 13RW in particular, check out these points </a>you could use as you talk with your child.</span></div>
<h2 style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans-semibold; font-weight: normal; margin: 0.83em 0px;">
4. Don’t be afraid to ask your child a direct question about suicide</h2>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Contrary to what we may think, asking them such questions does not put the idea in their head but invites them to share what they are feeling without stigma or shame. Direct questions could include, “Are you having thoughts about killing yourself?” or “Do you wish you could end your life?”</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
If you suspect your child is in danger, get help immediately from SOS 1800 221 4444 or speak to your child’s School Counsellor. Ensure your child’s physical safety and explain that you cannot keep the secret but need to break confidentiality to get the help that they need. Remind them that the thoughts of suicide are just thoughts and that they need not act on them. The impulse to do so may pass after a while.</div>
<h2 style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans-semibold; font-weight: normal; margin: 0.83em 0px;">
5. Use the S.P.A.C.E tips</h2>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">

<h2 style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans-semibold; font-weight: normal; margin: 0.83em 0px;">
6. Encourage a healthy lifestyle and a wide range of coping strategies</h2>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Encourage your child to develop a sleeping routine to help them get a good night’s sleep. For example, waking up and getting to bed at the same time, avoiding caffeine during lunchtime and shutting down electronics before bedtime.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Physical activities can help relieve stress and provide a good distraction from worries. Find a physical activity to carry out together with your child if your child is struggling to get active, or play sports with friends. Eating well can also help with sleep and general health and wellbeing. A well-balanced diet helps the body and brain to function well.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Other coping strategies include talking with people they trust, keeping a journal, drawing and expressing themselves through art, practising relaxation and deep breathing. It is helpful to build up a toolbox of a variety of coping strategies.</div>
<h2 style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans-semibold; font-weight: normal; margin: 0.83em 0px;">
7. Encourage your child to be a positive influence</h2>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "opensans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.5;"></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "opensans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px;"></span><br />
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
You can also encourage your child to be a voice of hope and positive influence for his/her peers. Your child can play his/her part to look out for warning signs if a peer is distressed or at risk of suicide. Encourage your child to refer the friend immediately to a trusted adult for help.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: opensans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">

<br />
1. Uncomment the Partner repository lines by editing the /etc/apt/sources.list file<br />
Look for the word "partner" in the file /etc/apt/sources.list<br />
Uncomment the line for (by removing the "#") character<br />
<pre># deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner
# deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner
</pre>
If your Ubuntu release is not lucid, add in the two lines above into the sources.list file<br />
<br />
2. Update the package list<br />
<pre>$ sudo apt-get update
</pre>
<br />
3. Install DB2 using apt-get<br />
<pre>$ sudo apt-get install db2exc
</pre>
<br />

<br />
TL;DR;<br />
Use db2look to export DDL and db2move to export data.<br />
<br />
The name of the database is "mydb" as an example<br />
On source machine:<br />
<pre>$ mkdir migrate
$ cd migrate
$ db2look -d mydb -e -a -o db2look.sql
$ db2move mydb export
$ cd ..
$ tar cf migrate.tar migrate
$ gzip migrate.tar
</pre>
<br />
Transfer migrate.tar.gz to destination machine.<br />
Note: Make sure that the database is created.<br />
If not create it with the following:<br />
<pre>Create database [db name, eg:mydb]
</pre>
<br />
On destination machine:<br />
<pre>$ gunzip migrate.tar.gz
$ tar xf migrate.tar
$ cd migrate
$ db2 -tvf db2look.sql
$ db2move mydb load
</pre>
<br />
You may encounter -668 error when your application runs on the restored database. You can fix that with <a href="http://blog.tzeyong.com/2015/10/db2-sql-error-sqlcode-668-fixed-with.html" target="_blank">SET INTEGRITY</a>.<br />

<div>
While I am trying to resolve -668 error for DB2, the solution is to <a href="http://blog.tzeyong.com/2015/10/db2-sql-error-sqlcode-668-fixed-with.html" target="_blank">set integrity on the related tables</a>.</div>
<div>
However, I ended up trying to set integrity on a set of tables with cyclical dependencies. So the command </div>
<div>
<pre>SET INTEGRITY for <table> immediate checked
</pre>
<div>
does not work.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Searching more, I found that the solution is actually the same command, but all the dependent table should be comma separated. Something like the below.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<pre>SET INTEGRITY for table_a, table_b, table_c immediate checked
</pre>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hope this helps!</div>

<br />
After I migrated my DB2 data to a new machine, I encountered "DB2 SQL Error: SQLCODE=-668".<br />
<div>
At first, I thought that I can do a table reorg to fix it. However, when I issue the reorg command, the same error code -668 was returned.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After some searching, the solution is to set integrity for the affected tables.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. To find all the affected tables.</div>
<div>
<pre>select 'set integrity for '||rtrim(tabschema)||'.'||tabname||' immediate checked' from syscat.tables where status = 'C'
</pre>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Copy and paste the generated statements into db2 console.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. Repeat a few times to clear all the tables so that the SQL from step 1 returns no more row.<br />
<br />
Note, you may experience cyclic dependency on your tables that you are not able to clear. You can check out this post on <a href="http://blog.tzeyong.com/2015/10/solving-cyclic-dependency-for-db2-set.html" target="_blank">cyclical dependencies and set integrity for db2</a>.</div>

<br />
I have previously given "<a href="http://amzn.to/1LKSxiR" target="_blank">Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 Electronics Discovery Kit</a>" as presents and it was very well received.<br />
<br />
So this time round, I thought that the kids can have and extension to their base "Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 Electronics Discovery Kit" and learn about alternative energy.<br />
<br />
The original set shipped in free from Amazon without any issues. However, for the Snap Circuit Alternative Energy set, I was not able to select the free international shipping, even though this product appear when I have selected "International Shipping" and "Free International Shipping".<br />
<br />
So I contacted Amazon's customer service for support, the customer service explained that there is a limit to the size of the package for free international shipping which "Snap Circuit Alternative Energy" set exceeds.<br />
<br />
Then I asked politely, if there is anything that the customer service can do to help me with this. And the customer service graciously offered to waive the shipping for me! Woo Hoo!<br />

We have an AWS instance that is running docker images. The AWS instance came with 8 GB of free space and we have mounted another data partition of 100 GB.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, by default, the docker images are consuming space from within the 8 GB, which will not be sufficient, so we have got to move docker directory to the data partition that was mounted. The following steps worked for me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Default directory /var/lib/docker</li>
<li>Stop docker service and move docker to data partition (in this case is "/data", you can mount your data partition anywhere, just replace "/data" with what you have)<br />
<pre>$ sudo stop docker
$ sudo mv /var/lib/docker /data/docker
</pre>
</li>
<li>Edit docker config, look for DOCKER_OPTS, add "-g /data/docker". Docker config can be found at /etc/default/docker.<br /><br />Final DOCKER_OPTS should be similar to the following:<br />
<pre>$ cat /etc/default/docker
# Use DOCKER_OPTS to modify the daemon startup options.
DOCKER_OPTS="--dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 8.8.4.4 -g /data/docker"
</pre>
</li>
<li>Start docker service.</li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>

Java build fail after update to jdk8 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/tools/javac/code/TypeTags<br />
<br />
Some projects continue to build successfully while some others failed after upgrading JDK.<br />
Looking deeper into it and comparing the projects, those that failed are projects that are using lombok. It has been a while since I have upgraded lombok version. (which was still at 0.XXX)<br />
<br />
After downloading the latest version of lombok and rebuild, the build completes successfully!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261231975142442138.post-85097981235281131012015-10-11T01:57:00.003-07:002015-10-11T01:57:40.245-07:00How to show sent mail in Thunderbird threaded conversationTo see our sent mail in threaded conversation view in Thunderbird, we have to first enable unified view for folders.<br />

Some of my old java application that used to be able to send out email via Gmail fails. This seems to be due to a security enhancement sometime back in Gmail.<br />

This issue happened for me after installing google cloud engine for kubernetes.<br />
After some search, This have helped me resolved it. The profile was not loaded in the terminal because .bash_profile exist.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Move the following into the end of your "~/.profile"<br />
<pre># The next line updates PATH for the Google Cloud SDK.
source '/opt/App/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc'
# The next line enables bash completion for gcloud.
source '/opt/App/google-cloud-sdk/completion.bash.inc'
</pre>
</li>
<li>Rename "~/.bash_profile" as "~/.bash_profile_old"</li>
</ol>

This can happen if you have updated docker, but the service has not been restarted. You will then try to connect to the docker daemon with the updated client, while the daemon (that was already running before the update) is still running the older version.<br />
To fix this, restart the service:<br />
sysV init:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
service docker restart</blockquote>
systemd:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
systemctl daemon-reload<br />
systemctl restart docker</blockquote>
<br />
