Webinar: Work and Health Programme - How you can stand outPolicy in Practice
Deven Ghelani, Policy in Practice, is joined by Tony Wilson from the Learning and Work Institute and Anne Gregory from PublicCo in this webinar looking at how bidders for the new Work and Health programme contracts can stand out.
The new Work and Health programme has the ambition to halve the disability employment gap, but at a much reduced budget. Successful organisations will need a clear and persuasive offer demonstrating how they will support more unemployed people into work.
View these slides to learn:
1. What DWP are looking for
2. How to make your business case stack up
3. How to target support to help you help more people
Critical to the success of the Work and Health programme will be the role of the frontline adviser. As well as needing an understanding of the changing welfare system and the different levels of in-work benefits, the adviser will also need to coach customers who may have barriers to work.
Providers who can offer support that goes beyond what is routinely available to jobseekers will be more successful at winning and delivering the new contracts. Our webinar will show you how you can do this.
In addition, Learning and Work Institute will launch their new financial model for the Work and Health Programme. The model will provide insight and enable providers to forecast income, expenditure and performance in different scenarios.

USDA Loans in California: A Comprehensive Overview.pptxmarketing367770
USDA Loans in California: A Comprehensive Overview
If you're dreaming of owning a home in California's rural or suburban areas, a USDA loan might be the perfect solution. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) offers these loans to help low-to-moderate-income individuals and families achieve homeownership.
Key Features of USDA Loans:
Zero Down Payment: USDA loans require no down payment, making homeownership more accessible.
Competitive Interest Rates: These loans often come with lower interest rates compared to conventional loans.
Flexible Credit Requirements: USDA loans have more lenient credit score requirements, helping those with less-than-perfect credit.
Guaranteed Loan Program: The USDA guarantees a portion of the loan, reducing risk for lenders and expanding borrowing options.
Eligibility Criteria:
Location: The property must be located in a USDA-designated rural or suburban area. Many areas in California qualify.
Income Limits: Applicants must meet income guidelines, which vary by region and household size.
Primary Residence: The home must be used as the borrower's primary residence.
Application Process:
Find a USDA-Approved Lender: Not all lenders offer USDA loans, so it's essential to choose one approved by the USDA.
Pre-Qualification: Determine your eligibility and the amount you can borrow.
Property Search: Look for properties in eligible rural or suburban areas.
Loan Application: Submit your application, including financial and personal information.
Processing and Approval: The lender and USDA will review your application. If approved, you can proceed to closing.
USDA loans are an excellent option for those looking to buy a home in California's rural and suburban areas. With no down payment and flexible requirements, these loans make homeownership more attainable for many families. Explore your eligibility today and take the first step toward owning your dream home.
The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
how to swap pi coins to foreign currency withdrawable.DOT TECH
As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.
Below is the contact information for my personal pi vendor.

how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram.
I wouldn't advise you selling all percentage of the pi coins. Leave at least a before so its a win win during open mainnet. Have a nice day pioneers ♥️

Initiating coverage on UDCD – QNBFS initiated coverage on United
Development Co. (UDCD) with a QR25.50/sh target price (TP)
and an Accumulate recommendation given a risk/reward profile
that is skewed to the upside. UDCD offers potential investors
exposure to the higher-end real estate market in Qatar through
the Pearl island (the Pearl) with a land package underpinning
future growth potential along with existing operations providing
stable cash flows. Adj. EBITDA/Net Income are expected to grow
in FY2016 by ~8%/9% y/y followed by ~13%/9% in FY2017.
The shares are attractive on valuation backed by a stabilizing and
strengthening macro environment supportive of encouraging
fundamentals for real estate prices. The shares are currently
trading at ~11.7x FY2017 adj. EBITDA and adj. EPS estimates
respectively, which are both at a ~15% discount to peers. UDCD is
expected to report FY2016 financials on February 7. (QNBFS
Research)
UDCD’s 4Q2016 headline earnings beat our estimates on higher
than expected revenue (first look) – United Development
Company’s (UDCD) net profit for 4Q2016 came in at ~QR171mn
vs. our estimate of ~QR157mn (+9%) or EPS of QR0.48 vs. our
QR0.44. For the full year, headline earnings/EPS came in at
~QR623mn/QR1.76 vs. ~QR690mn/QR1.95 in FY2015 (-10%
y/y) reflecting the weakness in the real estate market that was
experienced in FY2016, which was mostly baked into the share
price. Despite the earnings beat, the shares could potentially come
under pressure at market open today given the lower-than-
expected dividend recommended by the Board of Directors of
QR1.25 vs. our QR1.50 (-17% y/y); FY2015 dividend was
QR1.50/sh. Should share weakness occur at market open, we
would be buyers of the shares as we expect sequential earnings
growth into FY2018 of ~8% annually but now with a more rapid
improvement in dividend payouts in FY2017 (~65% vs. ~78%)
and FY2018 (~60% vs. ~72%). We view this new dividend policy
as supportive of UDCD’s future growth plans. We await release of
the full financials to compare adjusted earnings and analyze the
performance of the company. (QNBFS Research, QSE, Gulf-
Times.com)
IQCD posts QR230mn net profit in 3Q2016, well below our estimate
of QR908mn and Reuters consensus of QR903mn despite QR389mn
in one-off fertilizer impairments – Industries Qatar (IQCD) posted a
4Q2016 net profit of QR230mn. Reported net income included: (1)
QR314mn of impairment in Qatar Melamine Co. and (2) QR100mn
of impairment in a revamp project that was shelved. Excluding
these items, earnings would have still been weaker vs. estimates, at
QR619mn. Another reduction in dividends to QR4 a share. As we
had stated in our report dated January 26, 2017, we were expecting
a DPS of QR4.50 but we could not rule out a range of QR4-QR5 a
share in dividends; the company paid QR5 in DPS for 2015. With
QR11.3bn in cash and QR2.9bn in debt across the group at end-
2016, IQCD retains a strong balance sheet. The dividend cut could
be due to a potential expansion at QAPCO beginning this year.
Recommendation and valuation: We rate IQCD a Market Perform
with a price target of QR130.00. We expect the stock to be weak in
the near-term given 2016 results and the dividend cut. (Company
financials, QNBFS Research)
GISS posts QR14mn in normalized net income for 4Q2016 –
Reported net income including a QR133mn write-off for the Al
Rayyan rig and a QR3mn loss (AFS and JV) was a significant
QR122mn. Results on an operating basis were more in line with
our estimates with revenue of QR674mn (-9% divergence), gross
profits of QR123mn (-2% divergence) and normalized EBITDA of
QR205mn (-11% divergence). DPS of QR1 was flat with 2015 and
in line with our estimate. This translates into a 3.5% yield. The
write-off of the Al-Rayyan rig was a surprise but all other 9
offshore rigs seem to be under contract (including one in
preparation as per contract) per the February rig report. The Al-
Rayyan rig was listed as warm stacked in the December rig report
but was written off. According to the company “the rig has been
off contract with Occidental Petroleum since March 15, 2015 and
the company was unable to market the rig since it does not meet
any customer specifications.” Despite this negative development,
we point out eight rigs have been listed as contracted per the
February rig report and one rig is under preparation as per
contract. This compares to only six rigs being under contract as of
end 2016. This should led to growth in the drilling segment in
2017. We continue to maintain our QR39 price target and
Outperform rating. GISS’ stock price improvement is hinged on a
resumption of confidence in company performance. With drilling
segment performance closely linked to oil prices, an expected
recovery in crude could help the stock price this year. (Company
financials, QNBFS Research)
MPHC’s net profit rises to ~QR279mn in 4Q2016 – Mesaieed
Petrochemical Holding Company’s (MPHC) net profit increased to
~QR279mn in 4Q2016 as compared to ~QR226mn in 3Q2016.
For 2016, net profit declined 8% YoY to QR995mn, due to 7%
decline in selling prices despite improved sales volumes in the
midst of a challenging market. MPHC continued to benefit from
the supply of competitively priced ethane feedstock and fuel gas
under long-term supply agreements. These contractual
arrangements are an important value driver for the group
profitability in challenging market conditions. Earnings per share
(EPS) amounted to QR0.79 in 2016 as compared to QR0.87 in
2015. The board of directors of the company recommended a
dividend of QR0.6 per share for the period. The board also
approved to convene Ordinary and Extraordinary General
Assembly Meetings of the shareholders on March 6, 2017. (QSE,
Gulf-Times.com)
CBQK changed the Board of Directors meeting – Commercial Bank
of Qatar (CBQK) announced that the bank’s Board of Directors’
will change their meeting which was previously scheduled to take
place on February 07, 2017 to February 21, 2017, to discuss the
financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2016.
Meanwhile, the new subscribed shares of CBQK have been
deposited into the investors’ accounts, the new capital is
QR(3,854,527,390), and the new total shares (385,452,739). The
new subscribed shares will be available for trading starting from
February 07, 2017. (QSE)
QIBK to hold its AGM on February 21 – The Board of Directors of
Qatar Islamic Bank (QIBK) announced the Assembly General
Meeting (AGM) which will be held on February 21, 2017. In case
of incomplete required quorum, another meeting will be held on
February 28, 2017. Some of the agenda of the meeting is approval
of the board of directors’ proposal to distribute 47.5% cash
dividends of the nominal value per share, i.e. QR4.75 per share.
Discussion of the proposal to increase the limit of the perpetual
Sukuk “Additional Tier 1 Capital (AT1) Sukuk” from QR5bn to

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF THE QSE INDEX
Source: Bloomberg
The Index closed end of week slightly in the green, gaining 0.56% (now at 10,629.13) for the week. We await stronger signals to help deciding the next move to

DEFINITIONS OF KEY TERMS USED IN TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator – RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. The RSI oscillates between 0 to
100. The index is deemed to be overbought once the RSI approaches the 70 level, indicating that a correction is likely. On the other hand, if the RSI approaches
30, it is an indication that the index may be getting oversold and therefore likely to bounce back.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator – The indicator consists of the MACD line and a signal line. The divergence or the convergence of the
MACD line with the signal line indicates the strength in the momentum during the uptrend or downtrend, as the case may be. When the MACD crosses the signal
line from below and trades above it, it gives a positive indication. The reverse is the situation for a bearish trend.
Candlestick chart – A candlestick chart is a price chart that displays the high, low, open, and close for a security. The ‘body’ of the chart is portion between the
open and close price, while the high and low intraday movements form the ‘shadow’. The candlestick may represent any time frame. We use a one-day
candlestick chart (every candlestick represents one trading day) in our analysis.
Doji candlestick pattern – A Doji candlestick is formed when a security's open and close are practically equal. The pattern indicates indecisiveness, and based on
preceding price actions and future confirmation, may indicate a bullish or bearish trend reversal.
Shooting Star/Inverted Hammer candlestick patterns – These candlestick patterns have a small real body (open price and close price are near to each other),
and a long upper shadow (large intraday movement on the upside). The Shooting Star is a bearish reversal pattern that forms after a rally. The Inverted Hammer
looks exactly like a Shooting Star, but forms after a downtrend. Inverted Hammers represent a potential bullish trend reversal.
