SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A primary object of the present invention is to provide a signal processing method having a high reliability, which allows data obtained by measuring the surface area to be utilized, maintaining a distinctive feature of the spline filter, and is also capable of being applied to surface measurement data such as the surface texture of the object to be measured, and in addition hereto, to provide a signal processing program, a recording medium storing the signal processing program and a signal processor.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing signal-processing process in a signal-processing method according to a first reference technology;
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT(S) The signal processing method of the present invention primarily relates to a signal processing method of performing a filter process for the curved surface data obtained by measuring the surface area; however the robust spline filter (spline filter) for the curve data is shown as a reference technology on the premise of explaining the present invention.
∑ k = 0 n - 1  ( y k - s  ( x k ) ) 2 ( 1 ) under the condition that spline energy
∫ a b  { ⅆ 2  s  ( x ) ⅆ x 2 } 2  ⅆ x ( 2 ) is minimized.
I  ( s ) = ∑ k = 0 n - 1  { y k - s  ( x k ) } 2 + λ  ∫ a b  { ⅆ 2  s  ( x ) ⅆ x 2 } 2  ⅆ x ( 3 ) the spline filter is obtained by minimizing the I(s) (where λ represents Lagrange constant).
I  ( s ) = ∑ k = 0 n - 1  w k  { y k - s  ( x k  ) } 2 + λ  ∫ a b  { ⅆ 2  s  ( x ) ⅆ x 2 } 2  ⅆ x ( 4 ) The spline function s is digitized at a constant pitch where the second term is modified as
α  ∑ k = 0 n - 1  ∇ 2  s  ( x k ) ( 5 ) Then, following equation is established.
I  ( s ) = ∑ k = 0 n - 1  w k  { y k - s  ( x k ) } 2 + α  ∑ k = 0 n - 1  ∇ 2  s  ( x k ) ( 6 ) In the above:
∂ I  ( s 0 , s 1 , ⋯   s n - 1 ) ∂ s k = 0   k - 0 , 1 , ⋯  , n - 1 ( 8 ) The weighted spline filter is defined as a spline function for minimizing I(s) in the formula (6).
∂ I ∂ s 0 = - 2  w 0  ( y 0 - s 0 ) = 2  α  ( s 2 - 2  s 1 + s 0 )   ∂ I ∂ s 1 = - 2  w 1  ( y 1 - s 1 ) + 2  α  ( s 3 - 4  s 2 + 5  s 1 - 2  s 0 )   ∂ I ∂ s k = - 2  w k  ( y k - s k ) +   2  α  ( s k + 2 - 4  s k + 1 + 6  s k - 4  s k - 1 + s k - 2 )   k = 2 , 3 , ⋯  , n - 3   ∂ I ∂ s n - 2 = - 2  w n - 2  ( y n - 2 - s n - 2 ) +   2  α  ( s n - 4 - 4  s n - 3 + 5  s n - 2 - 2  s n - 1 )   ∂ I ∂ s n - 1 = - 2  w n - 1  ( y n - 1 - s n - 1 ) + 2  α  ( s n - 3 - 2  s n - 2 + s n - 1 ) ( 10 ) is established by substituting Q as
( W + α   Q )  S = WY   where ( 12 ) W = ( w 0 w 1 ⋰ w n - 3 w n - 2 w n - 1 ) ( 13 ) S = ( s 0 s 1 ⋮ s n - 3 s n - 2 s n - 1 )   Y = ( y 0 y 1 ⋮ y n - 3 y n - 2 y n - 1 ) Next, in order to represent the weighted spline filter for periodic measurement data as a matrix, when periodic boundary condition of the periodic measurement data is represented as
s k + n = s k k = 0 , 1 , ⋯  , n - 1 ( 14 ) since ∂ I ∂ s k = - 2   w k  ( y k - s k ) + 2   α  ( s k + 2 - 4   s k + 1 + 6   s k - 4   s k - 1 + s k - 2 ) ( 15 ) k = 0 , 1 , ⋯  , n - 1 for Q ~ = [ 6 - 4 1 1 - 4 - 4 6 - 4 1 1 1 - 4 6 - 4 1 ⋰ ⋰ ⋰ ⋰ ⋰ 1 - 4 6 - 4 1 1 1 - 4 6 - 4 - 4 1 1 - 4 6 ] ( 16 ) the matrix of the weighted spline filter for periodic measurement data can be represented as
H  ( z ) = s k y k = 1 1 + α  ( z - 2 - 4   z - 1 + 6 - 4  z + z 2 ) ( 20 ) In order to examine the amplitude characteristic and phase characteristic, Z is substituted as
H  ( ω ) = 1 1 + α  ( ⅇ - 2   j   ω   Δ   x - 4   ⅇ - j   ω   Δ   x + 6 - 4   ⅇ j   ω   Δ   x + ⅇ j   ω   Δ   x ) ( 22 ) Since ⅇ - j   α + ⅇ j   α = 2   cos   α ( 23 ) following equation is established.
ⅇ - 2   j   ω   Δ   x - 4   ⅇ - j   ω   Δ   x + 6 - 4   ⅇ j   ω   Δ   x + ⅇ 2   j   ω   Δ   x = 2   cos  ( 2   ω   Δ   x ) - 8   cos  ( ω   Δ   x ) + 6 = 2 - 4   sin 2  ( ω   Δ   x ) - 8   cos  ( ω   Δ   x ) + 6 = - 16   sin 2 ( ω   Δ   x 2 )   cos 2 ( ω   Δ   x 2 ) - 8 + 16   sin 2 ( ω   Δ   x 2 ) + 8 = 16   sin 4 ( ω   Δ   x 2 ) ( 24 ) Accordingly, amplitude characteristic can be represented as
 H  ( ω )  = 1 1 + 16   α   sin 4 ( ω   Δ   x 2 ) ( 25 ) On the other hand, the phase characteristic is represented as
H  ( ω c ) = 1 2 ( 27 ) and a constant a can be expressed as in the following equation.
α = 1 16   sin 4 ( ω c  Δ   x 2 ) ( 28 ) The transfer characteristic (amplitude characteristic, phase characteristic) of the 50% attenuation filter at the cutoff frequency ω=107 C will be shown in FIG. 5.
w k m = { [ 1 - ( y k - s k m β � c ) 2 ] 2  y k - s k m  < β � c 0  y k - s k m  ≥ β � c ( 38 ) Here, with reference to σ denoting standard deviation of the residual error,
β = median  {  y k - s k m σ  } ( 39 ) c = { 6 β ≤ 5 10 5 < β ≤ 100 20 100 < β ( 40 ) are set.
∑ k = 0 n - 1   w k m - w k m - 1  < 0.02 � ∑ k = 0 n - 1  w k m ( 41 ) FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B show examples where a signal-processing method by the robust spline filtering in the first reference technology is conducted for a one-dimensional time-series data. Here, both of a spline curve processed by normal spline filtering and a spline curve processed by the robust spline filtering according to the present invention are applied on the measurement data applied with a spike noise, which are shown in a superposing manner. As shown in the drawings, though the result of normal spline filtering is influenced by the spike noise, a spline curve along original shape is obtained by the robust spline filtering. Further, as shown in FIG. 3A, excellent trackability for a shape having gentle waviness can be obtained.
I  ( s ) = ∑ k = 0 n - 1   w k  [ { x k - s x  ( x k , y k ) } 2 + { y k - s y  ( x k , y k ) } 2 ] +   α  ∑ k = 0 n - 1   { ∇ x 2  s  ( x k , y k ) + ∇ y 2  s  ( x k , y k ) } ( 46 ) In the above, secondary approximation of laplacian on the second term of right side is represented as follows:
∇x 2 s(x k ,y k)=s x(x k+1)−2s x(x k)+s x(x k−1)∇y 2 s(x k ,y k)=s y(y k+1)−2s y(y k)+s y(y k−1) (47)
α = 1 16   sin 4  ( π � Δ   l λ ′  c ) ( 48 ) Then, a spline filter for deducing the spline curve for each section of the two-dimensional measurement data can be constructed.
I  ( s ) = ∑ k = 0 n - 1   [ { x k - s x  ( x k , y k , z k ) } 2 + { y k - s y  ( x k , y k , z k ) } 2 + { z k - s k  ( x k , y k , z k ) } 2 ] + α  ∑ k = 0 n - 1   { ∇ x 2  s  ( x k , y k , z k ) + ∇ y 2  s  ( x k , y k , z k ) + ∇ z 2  s  ( x k , y k , z k ) } ( 50 ) In the above, secondary approximation of laplacian on the second term of right side is represented as in the third reference technology.
∑ i = 0 n - 1   w i � { f i - s i  ( x i , y i ) } 2 ( 52 ) Also, the bending energy in a case where the surface z=s (x, y) has been thought to be a thin plate is expressed by the following formula.
∫ ∫ { ( ∂ 2  s ∂ x 2 ) 2 + ( ∂ 2  s ∂ y 2 ) 2 + 2  ( ∂ 2  s ∂ x  ∂ y ) 2 } � ⅆ x  ⅆ y ( 53 ) Under the constraint condition that this bending energy formula (53) is minimized, obtaining s (x, y) for minimizing the sum-of-squares formula (52) of the weighted residual causes the weighted spline filter (robust spline filter) for the surface area to be defined. That is, it is expressed by the following formula with λ assumed to be a Lagrangian undetermined multiplier.
∑ i = 0 n - 1   w i � { f i - s  ( x i , y i ) } 2 + λ  ∫ ∫ { ( ∂ 2  s ∂ x 2 ) 2 + ( ∂ 2  s ∂ y 2 ) 2 + 2  ( ∂ 2  s ∂ x  ∂ y ) 2 } � ⅆ x  ⅆ y → min s  ( x i , y k ) ( 54 ) As mentioned above, the weighted spline filter on the measurement data of the surface area has been defined. Thereupon, by solving the weighted spline filter repeatedly while updating the weight for the residual according to the Biweight method it is made possible to obtain the robust spline filter on the measurement data of the surface area. Additionally, the computation for updating the weight is carried out with the formula (38) to the formula (41) explained in the first reference technology. And, such processes are realized with the flowchart of FIG. 13 and the functional block diagram of FIG. 2.
I  ( s ) = ∑ l = 0 ny - 1   ∑ k = 0 nx - 1   w k , l � ( f k , l - s k , l ) 2 +   λ  ∫ ∫ { ( ∂ 2  s ∂ x 2 ) 2 + ( ∂ 2  s ∂ y 2 ) 2 + 2  ( ∂ 2  s ∂ x  ∂ y ) 2 } � ⅆ x  ⅆ y ( 55 ) Herein, digitizing the second term yields the following formula.
I  ( s ) = ∑ l = 0 ny - 1   ∑ k = 0 nx - 1   w k , l � ( f k , l - sx k , l ) 2 +   λΔ   x   Δ   y  ∑ l = 0 ny - 1   ∑ k = 0 nx - 1   { ( ∇ x 2  s ) 2 + ( ∇ y 2  s ) 2 + 2  ( ∇ xy 2  s ) 2 }   ∇ x 2  s  ( x k , y l ) = s k + 1 , l - 2  s k , l + s k - 1 , l Δ   x 2   ∇ y 2  s  ( x k , y l ) = s k , l + 1 - 2  s k , l + 1 + s k , l - 1 Δ   y 2   ∇ xy 2  s  ( x k , y l ) = s k + 1 , l + 1 - s k , l + 1 - s k + 1 , l + s k , l Δ   x   Δ   y ( 56 ) Herein, boundary conditions are given by the following formulas (57).
∇x 2 s(x 0 ,y l)=∇x 2 s(x n x −1 ,y l)=0 l=0,1, . . . , n y−1∇y 2 s(x k ,y 0)=∇y 2 s(x k,yn y −1)=0 k=0,1, . . . , n x−1∇xy 2 s(x 0 ,y l)=∇xy 2 s(x n x −1 ,y l)=0 l=0,1, . . . , n y−1∇xy 2 s(x k ,y 0)=∇xy 2 s(x k,yn y −1)=0 k=0,1, . . . , n x−1 (57)
H  ( z x , z y ) = s k , l z k , l = 1 1 + λ x  H x + λ y  H y + λ xy  H xy   where   H x  ( z x ) = z x 2 - 4  z x + 6 - 4  z x - 1 + z x - 2   H y  ( z y ) = z y 2 - 4  z y + 6 - 4  z y - 1 + z y - 2   H xy  ( z x , z y ) = z x  z y + z x  z y - 1 + z x - 1  z y + z x - 1  z y - 1 - 2  z x - 2  z y + 4 - 2  z x - 1 - 2  z y - 1 ( 59 ) Herein, upon assuming frequencies in the x direction and in the y direction to be ωx, and ωy respectively, zx and zy are expressed as follows respectively.
z x =e jω x �Δx z y =e jω y �Δy (60)
H  ( ω x , ω y ) = 1 1 + λ x  16  sin 4  ( ω x � Δ   x 2 ) + λ y  16  sin 4  ( ω y � Δ   y 2 ) + λ xy  16  sin 2  ( ω x � Δ   x 2 )  sin 2  ( ω y � Δ   y 2 )   additionally   H x  ( ω x ) = 16  sin 4  ( ω x � Δ   x 2 )   H y  ( ω y ) = 16  sin 4  ( ω y � Δ   y 2 )   H xy  ( ω x , ω y ) = 16  sin 2  ( ω x � Δ   x 2 )  sin 2  ( ω y � Δ   y 2 ) ( 61 ) Herein, in the cut-off frequency ωc, so as to obtain a 50% attenuation characteristic, the transfer function is put as follows.
H  ( ω c , 0 ) = H  ( 0 , ω c ) = H  ( ω c 2 , ω c 2 ) = 1 2 ( 62 ) Then, it follows that the followings are obtained, whereby it can be understood that this filter is a phase compensating filter without a delay.
λ x =  1 16  sin 4  ( ω c � Δ   x 2 ) λ y =  1 16  sin 4  ( ω c � Δ   y 2 ) λ xy =  1 - 16  λ x  sin 4  ( ω c � Δ   x 2  2 ) - 16  λ y  sin 4  ( ω c � Δ   y 2  2 ) 16  sin 2  ( ω c � Δ   x 2  2 )  sin 2  ( ω c � Δ   y 2  2 ) ( 63 ) Herein, it is assumed that the sampling intervals in the x direction and in the y direction are equal, a product of the frequency ω and the sampling interval is sufficiently small within an all-frequency range where the input data exists, and the following approximation formula holds.

In video game machines, there is a need to change the texture of the surface (surface pattern, surface state) of objects and characters located in a virtual space. For example, the pattern on a surface of a �chameleon� may be changed in a game such that the pattern merges with surroundings, or a �rock� may be changed into a precious stone.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A first object of the present invention is to provide a game machine that can create a model whose texture changes with a relatively small volume of image data.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram depicting the general circuit configuration of the video game machine;
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a video game machine that illustrates an embodiment of the invention. The video game machine includes a CPU block 10 for controlling the entire machine, a video block 11 for controlling the display of a game screen, a sound block 12 for generating sound effects and other sounds, and a subsystem 13 for reading a CD-ROM.
To generate an image in the virtual space (hereafter referred to as �virtual image�) to be displayed on the display, polygon data required for displaying is transferred from the main CPU 101 to the VDP 120 via the SCU 100, and is written to the VRAM 121. The polygon data written to the VRAM 121 is stored to the frame buffer 121 or 123 for drawing as drawing data that includes 16 bits or 8 bits per pixel of color information. The stored drawing data is transferred to the VDP 130. The main CPU 101 supplies control information for controlling drawing to the VDP 130 via the SCU 100. The VDP 130 processes the drawing data according to this control information.

Mandela Moving to Center of African Peace Efforts - The New York Times
World|Mandela Moving to Center of African Peace Efforts
World Mandela Moving to Center of African Peace Efforts
Soon after the 1994 election in South Africa, when President Nelson Mandela's heroic stature gave new moral authority to his country's already substantial economic and military power, world leaders began urging him to take an active role in solving his continent's seemingly intractable problems. Mr. Mandela told those petitioners -- among them the former United Nations Secretary General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, and his successor, Kofi Annan -- that he had too much work to do at home, as South Africa made a sometimes-rocky transition to democracy.In recent weeks, as the rebellion in the huge nation of Zaire gained force, that reluctance dissipated. Now, President Mandela, in his effort to bring about negotiations between the leaders of the warring factions, is at the center of a historic moment for Africa.Diplomats who have watched South Africa's transformation from a pariah state to the continent's great hope say a number of factors have played a role in Mr. Mandela's progression to the South African ship off the Congo coast where he has tried to get talks started.Although there is still unfinished business in South Africa, the overall situation seems less tense and potentially explosive, diplomats and United Nations officials say. The South African Truth Commission continues to expose the crimes of the apartheid era, and may now be about to hear confessions about the violence committed by the leadership of the governing African National Congress when it was an armed opposition fighting white-minority rule. Continue reading the main story
Mr. Mandela, 78, has also distanced himself during recent months from many day-to-day tasks of government, turning them over to his Deputy President and designated successor, Thabo Mbeki.
Mr. Mbeki, who is with Mr. Mandela on his Zaire peacemaking mission, is increasingly the official to whom world leaders speak about policy details, while Mr. Mandela has been freed to devote more time to the statesmanship in Africa.Secretary General Annan, a Ghanian with a substantial African network of his own, has told the continent's leaders on several public and many private occasions that the world can help them and their faltering economies only if they commit themselves to better government, free of corruption, and greater efforts to end conflicts stemming from the cold war.In Angola recently, where decades of civil war virtually destroyed one of Africa's naturally richest countries, Mr. Annan stood by Jonas Savimbi as the guerrilla leader who had kept the war going by balking at agreements for years told his followers that Mr. Annan is ''a black man like us, and somebody we can trust.''For many Africans, Mr. Mandela is that and more.Mr. Annan's spokesman, Fred Eckhard, said on Friday that both President Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire and Laurent Kabila, the rebel leader, were ''comfortable'' with a leading role for Mr. Mandela and South Africa.
Until Mr. Mandela took on the task of persuading Mr. Mobutu, one of the continent's most durable dictators, to agree to an orderly transfer of power and at least give Zaire the chance, if not the certainty, of avoiding wider bloodshed, the South African President had mixed success with lower-keyed interventions in African trouble spots.Since his election in 1994, he has taken part in -- though usually did not lead -- African efforts to settle disputes in Angola, Algeria, Burundi, Lesotho, the Sudan and Swaziland. Only in Lesotho was he personally able to reverse a coup.He disappointed many diplomats by not taking a bigger role in the ongoing conflicts between Hutu and Tutsi in east-central Africa, involving cross-border violence and the displacement of people in Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania and Zaire. Reports by independent research organizations found that South African arms sales were contributing to the fighting in the region. Those Mr. Mandela vowed to halt.Most disappointing to Mr. Mandela, South African officials and Western diplomats say, was the failure of his mission to save the life of the Nigerian civil rights and environmental activist, Ken Saro-Wiwa, who was executed with eight of his colleagues in 1995. Mr. Mandela had sent several personal representatives to seek clemency from Nigeria's military leader, Gen. Sani Abacha; among them were the South African Foreign Minister, Alfred Nzo, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.Mr. Mandela also failed to win wide support for strong sanctions against General Abacha after the executions, carried out in the face of worldwide protest. American diplomats said Mr. Mandela had been let down by fellow Africans who did not want to set a precedent for what they saw as interference on human rights grounds. The impact of sanctions against apartheid South Africa seemed to have been forgotten.South Africa, if not Mr. Mandela personally, did play a pivotal part in securing the indefinite extension of an international treaty barring the transfer of nuclear arms and weapons technology. In the spring of 1995, when a conference at United Nations headquarters stalled over what promises should be extracted from the nuclear powers in return for support for the indefinite and unconditional extension of the pact, South Africa, which had earlier abandoned its own nuclear weapons program, stepped in with a compromise.
Joining the expertise of a white-led nuclear establishment to the new Government's influence among developing nations, the South Africans were able to win wider support for the extension of the treaty by suggesting pledges by the nuclear powers that would go a long way in meeting the concerns of non-nuclear nations. In those ultimately successful negotiations, South Africa established a place for itself as a bridge between the world's most powerful countries and the weaker nations of the third world.

In one application of the invention, as already described, the frequency determining apparatus B is used to tune the frequency of a frequency agile radio receiver. The tuning is made to particular channels rather than to specific frequencies. The channel spacing, i.e., a frequency allocation, depends upon the transmitting frequency. For example, at higher frequencies, such as 900 MHz, channel spacing may be 12.5 kHz. At lower frequencies, the channel spacing may be only 5 kHz. Therefore, in order to determine accurately the highest frequency of the frequencies of usual interest, a precision of about 1 part in 72,000 (i.e., 900�106�12.5�103) is required. In digital signal terms, at least 72,000 transitions must be counted in order to determine the highest frequency of usual interest with the precision necessary for this application of the invention.

Marin Fertility Center Announces First West Coast IVM Baby
Apr 17, 2015, 06:00 ET from Marin Fertility Center
First IVM baby on West Coast of USA Facebook Twitter Pinterest
First IVM baby on West Coast of USA
GREENBRAE, Calif, April 17, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Dr. Peter Uzelac, a Reproductive Endocrinologist with the Marin Fertility Center in Greenbrae, CA, announced today that the first baby on the West Coast of United States to be successfully conceived and carried to term using in vitro maturation (IVM) was born in March at a hospital in the Sonoma Valley.
IVM is a groundbreaking fertility treatment that requires less office visits and little to no drugs as compared to traditional in vitro fertilization (IVF). The baby's mother, suffered for year with endometriosis, opting to avoid hormones that could potentially worsen her condition. Her first attempt at IVM treatment resulted in the birth of a baby girl.
IVM is an emerging fertility treatment distinguished by it's virtually drug-free, low cost and minimally invasive nature and is currently gaining attention as an alternative to conventional IVF. The treatment involves the removal of eggs from an ovary before they are fully developed and allows them to finish their growth process under controlled laboratory conditions. These "in vitro" matured eggs can then be fertilized and used to achieve pregnancy in the same way as in IVF.
IVM is ideal for women with hormone-sensitive issues who cannot tolerate or do not desire the traditional doses of ovarian stimulation drugs required by IVF. Women at high risk for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), such as those with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or many immature eggs in their ovaries, may especially benefit from the IVM procedure.
The recent birth was a part of Marin Fertility Center's new IVM program which Dr. Uzelac brought to the West Coast from his former program at the University of Louisville. Marin Fertility Center is one of only a handful of clinics in the U.S. to have successfully helped patients achieve a live birth through IVM treatment. It is estimated that, to date, there have been 3,000 live births worldwide as a result of IVM, most of them from Asia, Europe and Canada.
QUOTE FROM DR. UZELAC
"We are so excited to have this alternative to conventional IVF available to our patients. In this age of personalized medicine, IVM answers a call for those desiring something different."
I always had faith that I would become a mother one way or another. When I read about IVM on Marin Fertility Center's website, I knew I had to try it before moving on to IVF. IVF uses higher doses of drugs, so I am glad I did it and hope that our success will help others by bringing more attention to this method. There is not a lot of readily available information on IVM.

Bladex leads successful syndication of a US$70 million 5-Year Senior Secured Amortizing Term Loan
Bladex leads successful syndication of a US$70 million 5-Year Senior Secured Amortizing Term Loan for Favorita (Ecuador)
PANAMA CITY, Oct. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S.A. ("Bladex" or "the Bank"; NYSE: BLX) announced the closing of a US$70 million, five year, syndicated loan in favor of Favorita FruitCo. Ltd. ("Favorita"), a leading Ecuadorian agribusiness conglomerate with diversified business activities including bananas, dairy, and fertilizers.
Bladex was the Sole Lead Arranger and Bookrunner of the transaction, and will act as the Administrative and Collateral Agent.
The loan was launched in August and received strong support from several financial institutions based in Panama, Central America and the Caribbean. Proceeds of the loan will be used to improve the company's debt maturity profile and finance its ongoing expansion. It was 1.7 times oversubscribed, which allowed Favorita to upsize the facility amount to US$70 million from its original target of US$61.2 million.
Felipe Suarez, Bladex's Head of Loan Structuring and Distribution, stated: "We are very pleased with the structuring and syndication of the second international loan facility for Favorita. It provides long term financing and strengthens the existing banking relationships."
Bladex is listed on the NYSE in the United States of America (ticker symbol: BLX), since 1992, and its shareholders include: central banks, state-owned banks and entities representing 23 Latin American countries, commercial banks and financial institutions; and institutional and retail investors through its public listing.

"Very Busy Temple"
reviewed February 5, 2020 by badmintontim
When we went we found the temple was very busy and the stall holders outside were selling the lotus flowers and joss sticks that the worshippers were buying to take in to the temple. Very interesting temple and well worth a visit. Next door to the lovely Hindu temple.

"A Very Small but Nice Cathedral"
reviewed 3 days ago by luxetrip
I always visit Catholic cathedrals on my travels so it was nice to have visited this one in a non-Catholic country. As expected, it was very small and lacks the more traditional opulent spires and ceilings and giant stained windows. Still beautiful, nonetheless. Simple and sacred.
"Interesting catholic church"
reviewed January 12, 2020 by Lugano22
The Church of Saints Peter and Paul is a Roman Catholic church built between 1869 and 1870. It is located in Bugis (easy access with MRT, station Bugis) I found this church by accident and found interesting to visit. The history of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul is closely linked with the beginning and growth of the Chinese...
"Celebrating Design in a Designed Nation"

Singapore is an "intentional community" ⸺ a place designed with a purpose ⸺ growing with confidence in its ability to create social and economic value. Fitting, then, that it should dedicate a National Centre to Design in a decade when the discipline has become recognised as including, but also being much more than, the craft of artisans. Across schools, workplaces...

Japanese food is great for my wife and me. Really like the food at En Sushi. The sashimi is fresh and melts well in the mouth. The soft shell crab handroll is crispy which is what i look for in soft shell crab. The beef is nice and tasty too 😊

Not Singaporean food, unless Singapore means burgers chips and general pub grub. No one in the place at 8pm and no real atmosphere without the music. Probably awesome with a decent band and no kids but was really disappointed with the incorrect food description. Rated ave as we really just walked in and walked out once we realised it was...

"Pretty cool little joint"
reviewed 4 weeks ago by OWJMGJ
Had a group dinner here recently which was also our first time at Artichoke. Will definitely be back. It’s a bit of hidden gem in Singapore, tucked away in the city with a low key vibe, solid menu and drinks list. Great for groups out on a night in the city. Worth adding to your list.

I have given this hotel a 4 rating, because it is a very good hotel overall. It is right next to Bencoolen Station, which is on the same line as the airport, so you can get there very easily.

Firstly, the good points: Comfortable and clean rooms, friendly receptionists, lovely breakfasts - buffet style, and a good place to have a meal and a drink in the evening if you've worn yourselves out in the day. Again, the staff here are extremely friendly. The hotel is conveniently located with public transport just around the corner. It is possible to...

"Ok. Needs and upgrade"
reviewed 1 week ago by Isk752
Great location in Singapore. Walking distance to many great food spots, like Arab Street, or a quick taxi/grab ride to China Town. Price was heavily discounted when we stayed, and it looks like several floors were being re-furbished. It needs it. Gym is like a closet. Pool is ok, but also needs some work.
